Hello guys, i wanna root my htc desire hd to the latest cyanogen mod. Im on the 3 (Three) network in the UK. I was just wondering if i do root my phone would i still be able to send texts and browse the web and all that with 3G after rooting or would i have to manually enter all the details again?

Really hope you can help.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi,

Depending on your HTC firmware version you may need to downgrade. Firmware later than 1.32 (Android 2.2) cannot be rooted.

Rooting your phone will not alter your ability to send txt's or browse the web.

Here is a description of what Rooting does.

To downgrade, follow THIS thread.

As your with a major UK network the APN settings will already be incorporated into CM7 and you would not need to enter them manually.

I got my DHD a few weeks ago, and rooted it straight away. I'm also on 3, and I've had no problems at all.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
1-you are going to be able to send messages perfectly

2-if you have 3g connection you are going to use the android browser perfectlty

3-normally if you flash another rom that your current... the APN list (parameters for 3g conecction) is completed automatically when your device detect your telephone company. if the list don´t do it automatically go to GOOGLE and look and browse in some pages for " APN list for three"

You know, the GPS from SG3 need internet to receive the bin files, to calculate the actuall position better.. so what would be, if we download the bin files.. put them into the phone, and edit the gps.conf file.. would the phone recognite them?

fe.:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Downloading the 3 bin files from:

http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Putting them into /system/framework/ or somewhere else..

and change gps.conf to:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=/system/framework/xtra1.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=/system/framework/xtra2.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=/system/framework/xtra3.bin

would that work? oO
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] debaj:
If I am correct, these files contain a rough, but more or less actual position of every GPS satellite (this data is collected and refreshed by the tracking stations) instead of some static content which can be downloaded and used from the phone memory. If you would do the above method and it worked, it would only slow down the startup, because the phone would believe that the positions in the bin files are correct, and it would try to find the satellites around the given positions, but actually they are elsewhere.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ilendemli:
we can write an app.. that refreshes the files on every internet connection, and disables the bin files, if gps is off..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] debaj:
This is exactly how the Assisted GPS works, except it refreshes the bin files only when needed, without unnecessary data traffic. The satellites do two orbits a day, so if you want to speed up the GPS startup, you need as fresh files as possible. A bin file that was created half an hour ago is possibly too old, the satellites traveled 6-7 thousand kilometers since then, so nothing could be gained with an app like that.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] DJ SNap:
Hi,

On Windows Mobile 6.5.x (on my old Samsung Omnia) there was something called XTRA GPS. Always when I was on internet connection (WiFi etc) I was able to refresh settings with (I think) something like this what ilendemli is talking about. I'm talking about this:

http://www.samsung-omnia.org/precise-gps-navigation/how-to-enhance-your-gps-lock-times-and-speed/ .

Please read it and develop app like this option on Omnia.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musty_man:
Hey guys

Ive had the HD for 10 days..and there are little things that are bugging me. I hope you guys can figure out whats wrong.

Lets start:

1. I am using PowerAMP Music Player, and the lock screen widget doesnt directly unlock the phone, it takes me to the system lockscreen although the "Direct Unlock" option in PowerAMP settings is ticked. Note, I am using LauncherPro

2. Sometimes when I use the volume buttons to change the volume, they change fine, then few seconds later, the phone vibrate twice randomly. Its annoying!

3. Facebook doesnt seem to show notifications in the notifications bar when I receive Inbox messages or friend requests. Again, ive ticked everything in the settings and Facebook application is updated.

Any ideas on any of these issues? :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty_ice:
I don't know about 1 and 3, but your problem two is due to Android creating a kind of log when VOlume up and down are pressed at the same time.

Disabling USB Debugging should fix it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naimmkassim:
Problem no 3 is known problem with fb version started from 1.52 and 1.53 ddownload from market. You better get version 1.51, this is the working version. Not just DHD effected, but all smartphone that download this fb facing the same trouble. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Musty_man:
I fixed problem 1 by simply restarting the phone. its fine so far.

I disabled USB debugging and hopefully this will fix number 2.

However for problem 3, how can i download the 1.51 version of Facebook? I can only find 1.53 on the Market.

Thanks for your replies guys :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thailmore:
I've been unable to find this question in a thunderbolt forum, so here goes.

I'm trying to set up my mail account, but I have to go through account setup each reboot to re-allow the "unverified" DoD root CA. Have we found any fix for adding trusted root CAs?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] higabyte:
and this would allow us to check our .mil email accounts? that would be excellent if I could check my work email from my phone since I don't rate a blackberry to be hooked up on the exchange server ... lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thailmore:
Well, i don't know about exchange accounts, you'd have to talk to your

NEC or DOIM to get that push set up, and they'll prolly say no (because of CAC authenticaton). You can, however, set it up for your AKO account, then forward your exchange to your AKO.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
The clueless newbies at Google didn't think to provide the ability to add root CAs (or even update them, short of a full OS update!) Star the issue here.

For a rooted phone, you can do an adb pull of /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks (this is the CA store). Then use portecle to add your private root CA der file. Finally put it back (remount rw, etc.) Don't forget to chmod 644 new /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks

Then a reboot, and it should recognize your CA.

There may be a simpler way for just mail - read through the thread link. The method I provided should work for everything, including browser.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thailmore:
Thanks mike.s!

I used portecle to import the CAs i exported from my laptop, replaced the .bks and rebooted.

Works like a champ!

Thanks again!
[HTC Desire S] 3tybagig:
Just wanted to mention something I stumbled on today.

My friend just bought a Desire S and wanted to know if it was S-OFF or not.

In settings/power/ I disabled "fast Boot"

Turned the phone off and then booted with volume down and power. Doing this got me into the bootloader as suspected. Nothing special so far.

Then I selected Recovery from the menu and hit power to select. Still very normal stuff.

Then I got the little icon that I like to call "The f*ck off" icon. Basically at this point you don't get into recovery and the stupid little icon won't go away no matter how many times you hit the power button. You are S-ON!

So I tried some other key combinations.

While still looking at the "F*ck off icon" I hit Power and Volume UP and much to my surprise I actually got the recovery screen.

There were very few options to choose from:

update from sd:update.zip

reboot

shutdown(actually can't remember what the third option was but it said nothing worthy of me remembering obviously.

Why is this interesting?

Well, I thought there was no way to get into a recovery screen of any kind on an S-ON HTC phone and because we can it would be safe to say that as long as you have a signed rom you could drop it on the SD and install it.

Also there may be some fastboot or adb hackery available to us if left in this screen and plugged into your computer through USB. Sorry I can't test this theory as it isn't my phone and my friend isn't interested in me f*cking around with his brand new phone in this way.

But if you are out there and want to try. Please do and report back.

Regards

Ty

[Continuum General] nitsuj17:
adrynalyne and imnuts are developing for this phone...in fact i think imnuts has a .32 kernel booting (dont know how functional it is though)

however froyo ota and source coming out would most likely be of the most use

as i cant imagine that putting time into working with eclair stuff only to have that all wiped out soon would worthwhile

just "hold tight" :)
[Continuum General] imnuts:
The Froyo kernel is booting on the Continuum, but it isn't very usable atm, and the latest test doesn't work at all. I have gotten CWM fixed, and hope to get some more work done soon, but as nitsuj said, we don't want to put to much effort into Eclair when Froyo is likely coming out soon.

From day 1 of S-Off I have been unable to get fastboot to work. I can't even get it to recognise my device. I have uninstalled drivers, installed them. It just doesn't work.

I just checked Device Manager and it said that the driver is the "HTC Bootloader" which is the right one anyway, but no, I still can't get it to work.

I use Android Flasher but they new version seems to use fastboot and just won't work. Previous versions have worked for me. Here is the debug log.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
I'm sorry to state that your efforts with the drivers have been worthless, but as the log clearly states it is a problem on your computer and it never got to the point where a driver is needed because it never actually tries to anything else than call fastboot.exe, which it can't find.

The flashing utility needs the official fastboot.exe file, which is used to run fastboot commands. Apparently it expects it to be in the program-files folder, so you will need to install the android sdk from the exe file on developer.android.com. This should install the fastboot.exe file, which the flashing utility is missing.

I will also recommend that you just use a simple command line to handle the fastboot commands instead. That way you know exactly what you do to your phone, and the problems are easy to discover, and it is really not that difficult.

If this does not work, you might need to add the platform-tools folder to PATH, which will let you and the flashing program access fastboot.exe from anywhere. It really depends on how the utility tries to call fastboot.exe(just another reason to use the command line)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
If you are able to go to fastboot via vol.down and power than... it sounds Silly.. but did you check if you have fastboot.exe in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ and your pc in not blocking it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Cheers guys. I replaced the fastboot.exe file and it flashed through. I don't think of the simplest of things but thank you anyway.

And I did download the sdk in exe format so it installed correctly. I guess it just went a little weird for me. Had to flash it via command line anyway :P

Hey man,

When you're using ADB or fastboot, you need to be inside the platform-tools folder in cmd. So run "cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" (no quotes ofc) then use fastboot.

Hi, I'd like to know how to completely start 100% fresh on my Evo. Will that require me unrooting and rerooting? I'm looking to switch to CM7 from CM6 and keep it that way, I messed around with a ton of different roms and have folders all over the place, a lot of which are named oddly and I'm not sure if they're important system folders. How can I basically get my phone back to a fresh state?

Also, when doing wipes/backups, what should you be selecting? For instance you can backup the "defaults" selected for you or check them all. What situations would you want to have everything backed up? And same goes for wiping?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
First, delete any folders on your sd card you don't need anymore, then copy the rest to your desktop computer and reformat the card.

If you rooted with unrevoked, use the unrevoked s-on tool tool, then flash the RUU for your phone, and you'll be back to stock, out of the box. It's just that simple. Then you can copy the folders/files back to your sd card that you know you're gonna need

There are plenty of guides with links to the files you need on here, just do a search.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1o5ry1991:
Edit: nvm

But, would formatting the SD card do the same thing as deleting all the folders? (I don't need anything on it)

And one last thing. Should I do every update to my phone that I can before rerooting? Or leave it at pure stock before rooting again?

Looking to get the most updated files that I can and not have to overwrite CM a million times.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
That depends. Do you want it like it was when you initially purchased it and want to return it to Sprint or just wiped clean? If it's the former, then yes.

Oh, I see. You will NOT have to lose root to do this. I suggest the following:

1. As already suggested, copy the contents of your SD card to a computer or external drive

2. Backup any of your 3rd party apps, if you haven't already.

3. Reboot into recovery and, if you're using amon RA v2.3, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it, including the SD card.

4. Connect your device to your computer and then select the MS-USB option from within recovery. Afterwards, transfer CM7 and the associated gapps.zip to your SD card.

5. Flash the rom. NOTE: some people flash the gapps.zip immediately. I don't. After flashing the rom, I reboot to my homescreen. After a successful boot, I then reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the gapps.zip. After that, I reboot and sign in with my Google credentials.

6. Be patient during the initial boot process. You will appear to hang at the initial boot screen. Be patient.

THE GOLDEN RULES:

If you make any changes to your current setup, go into recovery and make a nandroid backup and yes, you can use the default settings.

It is also good to have at least 1 backup of just your wimax keys saved to both your SD card and on a computer or external drive.

A. If you change roms, wipe everything except the SD card.

B. If you're updating a rom with a nightly build, wipe cache & dalvik.

C. If you're changing kernels, wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats.

D. If you flash anything else, wipe cache & dalvik.
