I would suggest that it is an issue with your goldcard.... use the memory card that came with the phone. Install Goldcard helper from market, use the CID for MMC2 as Android SDK never reports the right one for me. This number has already been reversed, so create the goldcard img on http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard then using Gold Card Tool flash your img file to your phones SD card via the phones USB cable.... should be job done. While the cable is connected copy the PG88img.zip to the root directory of the SD card. Turn off fast boot, power off, power on with Vol Down and wait for progress.
[HTC Desire S] markatmgpc:
That's done it, I didn't get that the goldcard relates to the actual micro SD you use, thought the code was from the phone.

Updating now to the Orange UK so I will soon have UMA, Thanks for the advice.
[HTC Desire S] Dodolom:
Hey Sonikz,

Followed every step but still getting an error. I PMd you about it. I will definitely need your PG88 zip file.

Btw, everyone is calling this zip file differently, someone mentioned before that it should be named PG88DIAG.zip , someone said PG88IMG.zip,does it matter which one it is?

So, I copied the Reverse CID from MMC2 using the GoldCard Helper and created my goldcard.img. When I go on the GoldCard Tool, instead of hitting Get CID , I just paste my Reverse CID that I copied earlier but I am not sure if I have to choose MMC1 or MMC0. I don't know which one I chose and I don't know if it even makes a difference but I thought I should mention it here.
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
In Gold Card Tool you don't need to worry about the ADB Tools section as long as you have used the MMC2 from Goldcard Helper on the Image generator. Just load GoldCard.img (that would have been emailed to you from the website) and select the appropriate drive then click Patch MMC. I will get the file uploaded shortly and PM you back. The file should be called pg88img.zip just to set the record straight.
[HTC Desire S] Dodolom:
Well, i will be waiting for the pg88img.zip file then.

The error I am getting is MAIN VERSION IS OLDER, Update Fail, Press Power to Reboot.

Thanks Sonikz
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
Ohkay then, that is a different problem all together. Basically what the new issue is, is that the vanilla rom you are trying to flash is an older version than what has come pre-loaded on your phone, I can also confirm this problem as I upgraded tried an upgrade to 1.32.161.1 (Vodafone UK) as I was having problems with MMS and GPRS settings and also cannot roll back. Currently the most up to date vanilla rom is 1.28.401.1 so the reported version number would need to be artificially rolled back. I have been looking into how to change this back and I am stuffed at the mo. I mean potentially the version number could be changed with root, but I am only learning about it all now... If I can find something that may help I will let you know. I feel bad that I can't help any further at the mo but its looking more towards root or temp root to change the reported version number in this instance.
[HTC Desire S] Dodolom:
Well, I am on 1.31.720.2 which is from India I think. I don't even know what difference it will make when I change to a different ROM.
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
1.31.720.2 could be any rom really, is there any branding on the phone when it turns on etc? Also to change to a european rom say a TMO or Orange etc will allow the phone to be setup for the particular network easier and change the default apps that are installed. Possibly with a change of radio it may modify how signal is recieved, bands and strengths etc. Oh and the base language changes too.... Given your location (The US) I would guess that even flashing the Euro TMO rom although giving you more T-Mobile tools it wouldn't help due to it being Euro apps posssibly. I mean with the Vodafone Rom it install all kindsa apps which may or may not appear on the menu if you change the country you've set it to, they also don't come with US English dictionaries, which wouldnt be a big issue. I suppose its back to the drawing board for a little bit....
[HTC Desire S] Dodolom:
Well, the reason I said it's an Indian ROM is because I contacted HTC UK for a battery cover problem and gave them the IMEI#, they said this is a device from India. There is no branding, this is an unbranded Unlocked device.

When trying to make GoldCard getting error. (see attachment)....
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
What app is that from??
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
successfully downgraded from 1.31 to 1.28 with goldcard and psneuter, used this tutorial for the DHD, instead of

./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6

i have used

./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
[HTC Desire S] richbayliss:
I didn't know Orange had added UMA support to the Desire S. I would be interested in how you get on with this feature because my Orange signal is ****e! :mad:
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
So hadn't realised that there was a Gingerbreak tool you can boot from ADB instead of just using psneuter, misc_version then works, however appears version changes back on reboot??

^^^ Ignore that, regardless of the reported version number, using this method I have installed ver 1.28.401.1 over the Vodafone 1.32.161.1... boots fine! Reinstalling all my sh*t AGAIN.... HEH!

i have the same problem! i can see it installed but cant see the program. when i go to system and app and try to install it it doesnt do anything but it is listed in my installed apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnnorth:
It's a read-only version of the app. It is installed so you can view documents but you can't open it as a stand alone app. If you need to edit/create documents you'll need to install the paid version from the market, or one of the alternatives.

I found this root in someone blog. According to the comments, it should and will work for wildfire with android 2.2.1.

Here is the link,

The blog is updated.

Please tell us that will it work.
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:

If I give you single Posts, it will be more than 10. (There's 16 actually, if you bothered to move your lazy backside and use search. But, I still listed it because it contains your hard work (Use Google and link to C-Skills Blog)

If you actually see the number of threads, it is 4. So, rather than arguing and polluting the Wildfire section with your crap threads (Transparent JPEG, Really? Weather Animation on Unlock using BW - OMG!), actually admit it that this thread of yours is redundant.

I'll agree with that one member said about you somewhere. Reading your posts make me feel like punching through my monitor.

When someone answers a question that has already been answered a billion times, I call them patient, not 'smart'. What do you call the people who keep asking the same questions then? Why would anyone with half a brain join XDA to prove that they're smart? This is why talented devs like Jacob are leaving this forum.

I'm amazed at the number of utter morons that populate the Wildfire section. AND they have the audacity to diss the people who do have some sense. Can't wait to get out of here.

You're even more of a smartass wannabe moron than I thought. Jacob still has his wildfire, it's with his brother. He didn't just leave the Wildfire section, he left XDA completely, even the Blade section.

And the dude didn't use the method you've "suggested" to root. He hasn't even said how he did it. Gingerbreak cannot be used to obtain perm root. I know what it does. You on the other hand, saw something that someone posted somewhere and re-posted it to show off. You disgust me.

Let's just get this straight.

Gingerbreak does not work for permrooting S-ON devices, It says that in the Gingerbreak post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

S-ON blocks the /system/ directory to be written to, only in the earlier 2.1 Hboot it had a bug.

Gingerbreak only messes with the OS but doesnt allow you to write new stuff to the system partition.

Hi there.

I am out traveling the world and i want to root my HTC Desire. But i dont want to loose my Spotify Offline playlists. Is there any way to take a backup and restore them once the device is rooted?

I was thinking maybe Titanium Backup or something.

The reason i ask is that i have all the tools for the rooting on my computer but a internet cafe with a great internet connection for syncing my playlists is a rarity around these parts of the world.

So back to my question: Is it possible to backup my Spotify offline playlists and then restore them once rooted?

I know theres a chance you havent heard of Spotify but ill try anyways :)

Hi all,

All the reviews mention that the speakers at the bottom are stereo speakers, but I'm having my doubts. (Either that, or I've got to envoke the VIP service yet again...)

Facing the front, I have a strong suspicion that the left speaker does absolutely nothing. (Tested by holding my thumb over it while music is playing...) The right speaker is very easy to block, but the left one does nothing.

Anybody else notice this? Sad but true, I use them quite a bit when listening to music in an empty office...

ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR

This error message indicates that the RUU lacks some specific files or they are damaged, so the RUU cannot continue with the update. You have to get the complete RUU package and try again.

And at the pc recover your phone after all process recover successful but when I switched on the phone it is on same condition

I download this rom from many sites and try it but result is same.

In RUU read me file they said that

Q: I used RUU to update and it failed. Now, my Android phone always boots in the RUU failed mode and cannot enter the Android Home screen anymore, what should I do?

A: This is normal and can be recovered. Follow the instructions below to reset your Android phone and to establish a connection with the PC.

1.	Disconnect your Android phone from the USB cable.

2.	Reset your Android phone (Remove and reinstall the battery).

3.	Reconnect your Android Phone to the USB cable.

4.	Check if the Android phone is recognized by the PC.

5.	Return to the ROM Update Utility.

So please tell me any solution. I will be thankful to you.

Is it the SD card that came with the g2 or a different one?

I had this happen with a 32GB patriot class 10 I put in my G2. It would corrupt and do the exact same until I full formatted it on a PC. (long story short it's a issue with the sdcard itself and has to be formatted a special way, but it's ONLY THIS CARD).

Try a different card, if a different card works then full format the nonworking card. If that still doesn't work then there may be a off chance (a very very off chance) that the card went bad.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fireflyz:
Went to the T-mobile store and tried 2 different sd cards. Neither of them worked... any way to fix this on my own? If not, then can I un-root my G2 without an SD?

I heard somewhere that as long as it looks stock, they won't do/say anything... not sure if this is true though..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
Yikes, I'm not sure if you can if it can't read a image off the sdcard to flash.

You do have a legit hardware issue that rooting couldn't cause though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazinglarry311:
The sd slot is not fixable most likely.

But getting your phone back to stock is.

if you have an eng s-off bootloader you can usually fasboot update the PC10IM.zip if you rename it to update.zip and place it in your adb/fastboot fodler on your pc like so:

fastboot update

ot

fastboot update update.zip

not sure, it's been a while

if you have an s-on bootloader have no fear, you can still get to stock, it's a little more complicated.

find a PC10IMG.zip that has a stock recovery.img in it.

extract it and place it somwhere it is easy to locate and the path is short for ease. like c:\

download a flashable recovery update zip for the stock rom you want to load back on the device. keep it for later.

download this special recovery image:

View attachment 582547

extract the image and flash it from the OS, you'll need to boot your phone first then when it is up and running you need to enable usb debugging and use it to push the recovery image to your /data partition

adb push recovery.img /data

or the path is required if you put it elsewhere like c:\

adb push c:\recovery.img /data

it should be in /data/recovery.img

then open terminal or since you shoudl have adb open you can use 'adb shell' then type enter to enter a root shell

flash_image recovery /data/recovery.img

it should just spir out a

#

that means it's successful, reboot to recovery

now you will be able to push items to the root of your /data folder (or anywhere in /data really)

when you select the flash zip from recovery option it will spoof the /data folder as the /sdcard and display the contents of your /data folder rather than the /sdcard allowing you to flash without needing the sdcard to work.

now flash any stock rom from recovery.

while still in recovery you will need to flash the stock recovery image as well once you verify the stock rom is in place and boots. you will still have CWM but you wont be rooted so flashing from recovery is required. it can be flashed with the same commands you used to flash the other recovery from the OS

if you get a return of error -1 when you try to use the flash_iamge command to flash recovery PM me, i have a fix for that as well. it should be updated though not to do that any more.

ONCE YOU FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK ROM, unless you manually root again, which will be tricky, you are stuck.

hope this has been helpful.

S-off and S-on bootloader? Is that the same as having S-on/S-off in general?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -PoXx-:
Larry was banned this morning, apparently being helpful isnt something highly valued around here.

yeah, you achieve s-off using gfree and you can decide if you want to install the ENG bootloader.

If you did, it should say ENG S-OFF instead of SHIP S-OFF

if fastboot allows you to do anything remotely you're in a good shape and that means you probably have a ENG bootloader.
