I can haz gingerzbred!?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
What does that mean to us who rooted our phones? Do I have to unroot, or could I just do the update when it comes?

Or will we all have to do a factory reset, update, reroot?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cashyftw:
Can I have gingerbread?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thunderstruck!:
I tried check for updates, and got authentication error so it may be due to rooting. I figure Cyanogen will have Gingerbread before TMo does.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ilanad:
You get that error even if you are not rooted. Think the server's just not set up to talk to the G2x (nothing to update, so it doesn't let you in)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I get the authentication error on my un-rooted G2x, so something else is going on here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
I wish someone knew.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GUESTX00149:
I wonder if it will be fresh "bread" vs the hidden bloat wares that cause some of our battery drains. Also if cm7 is coming out wonder if we should wait on that vs the T-Mobile gingerbread they got coming.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Tmobile is testing the bloadwares on Gingerbread. :p
[Android Software Development] Onyoursix:
Hi, I'm a bit of a noob. I'm working on a custom rom for work and I need to know how to remove the factory data reset option under privacy. Does anyone know how or if anyone can point me in the right direction as to what folder/file it would be under? I've gone through just about all the files and can't seem to find it. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] opi721:
whats up fellas.. quick question.. i rooted my inspire and have been successful with installing ROMS but i cant seem for the life of me to play my audioBooks.. At all.

does anyone know how to get audiobooks on the phone and play?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Eustacia:
I use mort player audiobook version to play audio books. But it is going to depend on what type they are.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TinMan:
Might want to try the Audible app. Thats great, but only if you have an account at Audible. The app is available at the Market.

For my books that I have on CD, I just convert them to MP3 and use Ambling Books Bookplayer Pro - store the books on your SD card and you're all set. Great app (also available on in the Market).

Have fun!

[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
I use Audible for their format of books and Akimbo for all the M4B books that I have downloaded or converted for myself. Both work wonderfully. Akimbo has an brand new update that allows for things like bookmarks. Time-wise, these two apps are probably the most used on my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] badtzo:
What kind of audiobooks are you trying to play?

I use to get audiobooks in pdf format, and I can read and listen it perfectly with ez PDF Reader but also you can download it in mp3 format and play it with MortPlayer or Ambling bookplayer.

If you are using m4b audiobooks, you could use some software like this to change the format of your books.

[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
I have audible running on Cyanogenmod without an issue. It does require the subscription or just purchasing books individually. It would be worth checking out. It is easy to get a free book to test it, just listen to a program like Mac Break Weekly on the Twit network (www.twit.tv) They give you an offer code to get a free book when you try audible.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrogamer348:
First off, here are details:

Droid Incredible AMOLED

Hboot 0.92

Amon_RA 1.8.1 Recovery

The recovery says it was (bad). I re-downloaded, but it says the same error.

EDIT: Ahh, I feel so stupid, the file never finished copying to my SD card :D
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
Same as the title.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
Motorola locked and encrypted the bootloader. No one has been able to breach the encryption.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Yup, and the encryption is like 1024bit, which is pretty impossible to crack.
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
I understand that, but, why can we not replace the boot loader? I understand encryption, and simply having the boot loader itself signed does not necessarily mean that an alternate one will not work. Are there hardware protections, not enough understanding of where the boot loader resides, etc.?
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Yup, there is a physical chip in Moto phones called eFuse which is what prevents that.
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
eFuse does not work like that. eFuse is a technology that allows for the dynamic real-time reprogramming of certain components of the chip. That I know.
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
Let me back off of that statement.

How does eFuse prevent it a custom bootloader being flashed onto the device? Remember, when I say "bootloader" I mean things that are not hardware implemented (i.e., not a boot rom); GRUB or NTLDR are good examples.
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
Are most of you in a time zone different than the east coast?
[Droid 2 General] roblikeschocolatecake:
What exactly is the bootloader? Is it just the "m" symbol when you first boot the phone? Because that can easily be changed
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
Please, don't hijack threads. It is considered poor internet etiquette.
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
If you read through the existing threads on the Droid 2 and Droid X forums, you should be able to get answers to pretty much any questions you have about the bootloader.
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
I have tried and I have not seen any thing that directly states whether or not there is a public key etched onto the chip that is used to verify the bootloader. I am also wondering if people are saying that the bootloader is in a memory sector that cannot be modified by simply flashing it (e.g., voltage applied that protects said sector and can be disabled by grounding a certain pin).

I have also not seen any proposals by people to replace bootloader itself.
[Droid 2 General] local_crack_dealer:
The omap chip verifies the encryption key of the bootloader prior to booting. Omap chip has M-Shield (I think that's what its called) which that is the first line of defense of the secured boot.

I have a lot of info about the bootloader and the technical aspects of the booting sequence that I will share, but my powers been out since Wednesday due to a tornado.
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
Mind sharing them then?
[Droid 2 General] local_crack_dealer:
When my power gets cut back on...did you read my whole post?
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
Sorry, just enthusiastic.
[Droid 2 General] freekfly:
How about now? Would love to hear a run down on the bootloader....
[Droid 2 General] Master Melab:
I know why now. Though, I have to say you're terminology is incorrect. The bootloader is not encrypted. It is, however, hashed and signed by Motorola, this signature is then verified using a public key embodied by the circuitry etched onto the OMAP3630's boot ROM (true read only memory, in this case).

hiya guys i recently bought a second hand hd2 after reading some reviews on how good it was so obviously i just had to start messing with it and coming from a htc wildfire was expecting things to be just as simple as root and install a rom wich after reading up went sweet as a nut took bot 30 mins total ......so heres the problem i was really impressed showed my phone off to every1 including my dad who was also impressed so bought 1 aswell (second hand so cant get a replacement as the phone is technically not broken) now for the last 4 or 5 days ive been trying to duplicate what ive done on my phone on his but cant get the damn thing recognized and before anyone says it lol :D ive tried everything i can fiind on the net about the issue ive tried diffrent usb ports on my pc wich is running win7 ive tried his pc also running win7 ....my laptop with winxp all usb ports from fresh install and another laptop running vista all with the appropriate programs wmdc and activesync for xp ......i have 7 usb cables diffrent makes but 3 are official htc including the original cable for hd2 (wich i used to flash my phone) and ive tried 2 of his including his original for hd2 ....reinstalled win6.5 using sd card method and still nothing apart from the fact it charges on every cable ive tried wich to me says that the usb port on the phone is fine it doesnt bring up the menu asking how i want to use the connection i.e charge activesync or mass storage (and ive got the option ticked to ask me....and ive tried deselcting fast connect) it just doesnt recognise the connection and windows doesnt respond at all to the phone being connected even in bootloader mode it stays on serial and doesnt change to usb..... everything radio, rom is the same now as when i did mine same cable but no connection :( ......i think that covers everything ive tried does any1 know off anything ive missed or know if theres a fix for this issue lmao sorry bout the essay just wanted to get accross that i think ive tried EVERYTHING thanks for taking the time to read :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
My guess,,, bent /broken/ missing pin in the phones USB socket, or connection fault in the associated wiring to the USB port, so data connection isn't being triggered but charging works because those two pins are fine.

Can try cleaning the USB port, a soft DRY toothbrush perhaps, give the port a close examination.
[HD2 General] richlee007:
thanks for quick reply :) i did examine the port everything looked fine couldnt see anything bent in there a clean might help but looks ok to me thats the odd thing the phone looks new no damage to the port or phone and ive read about other people having the same issue but ive tried everything that has helped others with no success :( just wondering wether the phones a scrapper win6.5 definatly not a keeper lol

If the USB is the only issue you would probably still get a reasonable price for it on ebay.

[HD2 General] richlee007:
i think that the phone in general probably gets bought for the multiple o.s .....i know thats why i got mine yea the phone has some impressive upsides but i should have read the downsides this phone seems to be a accident waiting to happen dodgy usb, dead touchscreens, dodgy or sticky power buttons and getting bricked through normal usuage .... the list seems endless from what ive read in last few days ....my hd2 seems to have gone fine but just wondering how long its gonna last im scared to use it now lmao
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I wouldn't worry about that. People are always gonna post their horror stories but not many come here to say ,

"Everything's fine, touchscreen hasn't died yet..."

If it reassures you at all, I've had mine since launch, its been dropped, flashed numerous times, got soaked in the rain, smashed into a fridge and the only thing wrong with her is a small dent on the bezel by the screen. I'd say it's a pretty resiliant device for what is essentially a 4" piece of glass....

Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
[HD2 General] richlee007:
lol yea that sounds like some hardcore usage ......and yea i suppose as im looking for an actual problem or rather an answer to a problem with the phone only natural im gunna find other peoples problems
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I beleive like Sam said your data transfer pins are not working. Especialy sense you said it does not ask if you want ActiveSync or Disk drive.

And without working data tranfer pins you will not be able to flash Android. You can flas MAGLDR and cLK via SD card, but you can not flash CWM or use fastboot commands without a USB connection. Sorry friend, best thing to do is flash a good custom Windows Mobile ROM to your dad's HD2 or get the USB fixed.
[HD2 General] richlee007:
Hey guys thanks for the advice looks like he's getting custom windows rom lol anything for speed and useability improvements any suggeations for a good custom rom to try as I'm new tink the hd2 and a fan of android not too sure on the windows side of things ;)

Thanks for starting a new thread spamming it again. You've posted this a few times and your source is some guy claiming another vietnamese guy in a video told him. While I am sure it probably will be Tegra 2, your "evidence" is weak.

They claim otherwise. The truth is, nobody knows until Samsung announces it. Some random guy who got to play with one at a trade show definitely isn't going to know for sure. Just because he touched it, doesn't mean that is the version that is shipping. Let alone in every country.

I have a rooted xperia x10 2.1 update and superuser etc.

I installed spb shell a few weeks ago and now notice no led notifications of any kind. Blink won't budge those little bugger lights either.

What started this was the twin (tiny) leds between the home button are now just the one on the left. The led on the right has gone to sleep. I am not sure if this is because of SPB shell or not. I am going to do a few tests with home and adw launcher... or if you could help; is this something to do with the latest update to 2.1 or my root??? Help

Thanks.
[HD2 General] chileheadcraig:
I was running froyo off my SD card and was wanting to go with a NAND install. I was following steps in a HOW TO here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939682

I had 3.14 installed, but my SPL was 2.10 (not 3.03 noted in the How To) so I didn't think i needed to change my ROM. I installed SPL-2.08.HSPL (and confirmed that it installed - all was fine) and then read further that android may not run right if I'm running 3.14. This may or may be true and I cant go back and find where I read that, but thats beside the point now.

SO, I download 1.66 as it instructs in the HOW TO, install it and it looks like it installed fine, but my phone shuts off and Windows 7 tries to install the driver and cannot find it. I try to reboot my phone and its dead/blank.... nothing. I'm pretty sure its bricked as its non-responsive to any button mashing and battery removal. I cant reinstall 3.14 since Win7 wont recognize the phone (no driver). What do I do? Thanks very much for any help!

FYI, I'm with t-mobile USA. Let me know if you need any more info. Thank you in advance!!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Yep, dead. 1.66 rom contains a ..51.. radio.

Sadly, you didn't need to do any of that, simply switching spl from 2.10.0000 to 2.08.hspl using hspl3 would have done the trick.

(For info, the tmous does NOT require spl 3.03 to run 3.14 roms, unlike the regular hd2 which is hugely unstable on 3.14 without spl 3.03, which is why its not uncommon to see tmous phones running fine with 3.14 and spl 2.x, )
[HD2 General] chileheadcraig:
So WHY is it in that Definite Guide?? Arg! :mad:

There is nothing I can do? Is it basically a very expensive paper weight now?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
JTAG / new mainboard are the only options now.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Contact me and I can put you in touch with someone that can JTAG your HD2.

Also I thonk what you read about Android not running good if you have the 3.14 ROM was concerning SD card builds cause if you flash to a NAND Android ROM Wimdows Mobile is not on the HD3 anymore at all.

The guide is really good but that part should not have been put in there as HSPL 4 supports SPL 3.03.0000. Which SPL 3.03.0000 is the reason HSPL 4 was made.
[HD2 General] chileheadcraig:
Probably just an older guide then... live and learn i guess. I located the JTAG guy from another post. Seems like the best option. Thanks!
[HD2 General] yurigagarin61:
whats a JTAG?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
JTAG is a means of having a direct connection to the processor and NAND chip on the main board. It os,the only way to reserect a truly bricked HD2. A truly bricked HD2 will not even turn on or allow you any kind of access to the device via USB port. The JATAG is used allong with a Riffbox, ORT, cables to connect the ORT to the Riffbox, a power suply if you do not use the battery to power the main board while JTAGing it,and special software for your computer to reserect the SPL of bootloader so uou can once again reload software onto the device. You have to take the main board out of the HD2 to do thos though so it is not for everyone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mk2media:
ok so my contract is nearly up for renewal meaning i can get a new phone.

i intend on keeping my hd2 but it means i can get a new one too.

i'm wanting to get a proper android phone and at the moment i'm torn between the incredible s, the desire s and the desire hd.

i know there are no roms out for the incredible s yet, but i could live in hope (as i wouldnt want to use sense tbh).

what would people go for in this situation? im accustomed to the.....shortness of the hd2 battery so things like that dont really bother me that much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
They are all pretty much identicle spec apart from screen size. Purely on that basis I would go for the Desire HD.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stoolzo:
For me its got to be one of the new generation dual core offering, the incredible and desire phones arent really a full step up for me, just an incremental change to keep selling handsets.
