[Desire HD General] Chad_Petree:
Im curious, the specifications of the htc desire hd say it has only 1.5 GB of memory, whats the actual internal memory? im guessing those 1.5 gb they mention is just the available space to the user :o
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
to my knowledge, the 1.5GB is a flash memory (generally referred to as internal storage), and isnt suppose to used as if its a memory card to store videos and images, which is why they supply you with a 8GB sd card and why when without the sdcard, music and photos cant happen

I would guess that the 1.5GB is meant to be used to install apps and well, just system stuff, so that the OS can load it faster.

im more than positive that the internal storage is more than 1.5GB. It could be 2GB or 4GB (if i had to choose, i'd choose 2GB). But whatever it is; X-(Android OS and System data)=1.5GB.

This is what ive have been told (if im mistaken by any change, i apologize)
[General Questions and Answers] nicregi:
Hi guys. Another question on HTC phones. Please bear with me since I am still newbie in Android stuff.

I read so many times that HTC has it bootloader (or some sort) locked which makes customization harder etc etc.

Is there any news that Sensation is going to be locked? I read here and there and yet to find a right answer. Just hope to get an answer :)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] GuestD2558:
Are you talking about the phone being NAND locked? If so, then more than likely it will be NAND locked. It's just the way the manufacturers attempt to keep people from mucking around with the OS on the phone.

Still, someone will find a way around it. I haven't heard of the Sensation until I read this thread, so if it's a relatively new device there's a chance there isn't much information out there on rooting and NAND unlocking the phone until others get their hands on it.

So I was a little too rough taking off the back cover and I guess I warped it or something... Whenever I apply pressure to the back of the phone (like when you grab it) it creaks and squeaks... and it's really bothering the **** out of me :(

I tried searching but I just can't find any... Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] itsmikeramsay:
Motorola has listened to the voice of it's consumers!

They stated they were going to implement lockable/unlockable bootloaders into their phones. Basically the same technology that's in the Xoom.

That could be one of the reasons the Bionic has been delayed til this Summer. If that's what it is, then the Bionic will be the "IT" phone for Verizon. That's going to set the benchmark pretty high. Motorola won't be on my **** list anymore lol

[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitsuj17:
its a cop out....theyre saying its up to the carriers if the phone is unlocked...and no carrier (save maybe tmo) would agree to that voluntarily

this phone will be locked and worthless
[Motorola Droid Bionic] heldunder:
honestly Sprint seems to be the only carrier that honestly DOESNT care what you do with your phone...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] C0mbe:
Pretty sure you mean "Tmobile." They gave Cyanogen a g2x, and gtab if I remember correctly to see what he could do with them...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ruvort:
Honestly I couldn't care less if its locked or not. I agree, lock the thing it makes carriers feel good about themselves. Just don't encrypt it or make it so it can't be unlocked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jtreez30:
I know Sprint doesn't care because I turned my EVO 4G for a 150 dollar credit towards the EVO 3D and my phone was rooted, custom ROM installed and custom kernel and they said nothing.. I rooted and installed a custom ROM on a Droid X for a friend and they returned it because they didn't like it and Verizon would not take it. Sprint is cool with their customers doing what they want with their phones, I have no idea how t-mobile feels...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DANOinSD:
Locked up

If the D3 is any indicator, it will be locked just as the D3 is.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] qw_haoyun:
they always lock the phone
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eagle17:
yeap it is locked... at least it is rooted..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cappiez:
Meeehh... I just traded in my Charge rooted, and everything. Custom ROM, custom kernel. Not even a peep. Hell, the dude who took the phone had his Charge in his hand when he took it.

Verizon took my first Incredible with a cracked screen, and bricked with no insurance. Only thing they asked was "Do you have a phone you can switch to in the process? No? We'll overnight your new one. Have a good day."

It just depends on who takes it, and their mood.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EarthQ:
Hi devs,

I would like to start a thread to see how can we manage certificates in WP7 devices, to see if we can put together some pieces of info around this matter.

So far, these are my findings:

- Certs you import (like Chevron or your private CA cert) go to the registry here:

[HKCU\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\Root\Certificates\<Cert Thumbprint>]
"Blob"=hex:....

- There is supposed to be a certificate store for blacklisted certificates (it was there in WM6x) here:

[HKLM\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\disallowed\Certificates\<Cert Thumbprint>]
"Blob"=hex:....

Some questions:

- I had the hope to find Chevron cert under "disallowed" store, but it is not there, neither under HKCU nor HKLM. How is then Chevron blocked in NoDo?

- Is there a way to delete registry keys? I own an LG Optimus E900, so ideally with MFG... maybe with provxml mechanism? Such a thing will allow us to install test certificates and then delete them when not needed anymore.

Regards!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hi,

I made the WP7 Root Tools. For now it works on Samsung devices only. And it is a work in progress. So far, only the registry editor works, but a File Explorer and Certificate Store are coming soon. I use exploits that give me access to the certificate stores in WP7. But I have not done much research in that area yet, so I don't know exactly if there are any limitations.

One thing I'm quite sure of, is that the certificate stores are not only in the registry, but also in databases on the filesystem. So manipulating the registry is not going to be sufficient for adding and removing certificates. When I know more I'll report that in the WP7 Root Tools thread.

Ciao,

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarbadr36:
Ok so our prime minister decided to abolish daylight savings for good! And my Desire Z isn't liking it.

I'm running android 2.2 and i've manually put in the time and its working almost properly now, however the timing in ALL the applications is an hour ahead.

for example if i send an sms at 6:00pm the time stamp is 6:00pm, great. But when i receive an SMS at the same time it comes as 7:00pm which is a problem.

The same with tiwtter and all the apps on the phone.

Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Thanks alot!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Well it's receiving the time from your network correct? Have you tried calling your carrier? Sounds to me like it could be their end causing the problem.

[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
hey guys got desire s with S-ON and we can root temp but mem card doesnt show or work properly although if i go to storage it shows the mem card there and shows apps on it. The only time i get access to the mem card is if i reboot.

Im guessin alot of users wouldnt mind temp root as i do reboot my phone as its always on but at moment im having to charge battery twice 1 in middle of day and overnight. Lol need setcpu to slow cpu down even when screens off kills the battery.

So heres the question lol sorry for the long essay but anyone got an idea or can fix the mem card problem. thanks for reaidng guys

lets hope we can root our phones
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
*?* how do you get temp root?

When you're temp root it should be possible to download ROMmanager, flash recovery and than flash loveboatcaptains ROM and than you would have permanent root...

My DesireS works for 48 hours without charging. Standby is great - you should check which app drains your battery so fast..
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
anyone tested this?
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
k am on to it.....ghna try now

btw from my previous post i realised for some strange reason every time i temp root sometimes astro and other programs work ok except music and other stuff

but n64 emu and from astro i can access mem card and play music or run a rom wierd hun then other times jus get force closes lol

yh but gna try this now
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
tried it but wont let me use the option without mounting the sd card first which wont mount properly

thing is rom manager the stupid thing lol is trying to download to memory card if i could get it to download to phone memory it should do it

lol heres a funny one.....when u leave n64 emu runnin in background and then run gingerbreak in roots and apps get perm but when i run emulator the sd card starts workin and superuser crashes lol
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
tried mount via adb?

Or does root explorer work when temp rooted? (should also be able to r/w system and mount /sdcard)
[HTC Desire S] gfandrea:
I am not able to temp root my DS.. are you using gingerbreak 1.2?

after he finish to tray to root my device, is stuck, and i have to reboot taking out the battery...

For the card problem... have someone tray to take out and reputing in the SD? (in the meanwhile you have to keep the battery in)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
yes mate if u disable fastboot and jus click root (yes i have 1.2) and dont touch anythin for about 5 mins itl reboot itself and ul have root but only temp. Yh i helg the battery and unmounted it took it out and put it bk in...did this whilst on S AND PHONE STORAGE SCreen on there it says unnavailable
[HTC Desire S] gfandrea:
disable fastboot! i miss that! thanks! :)
[HTC Desire S] mohitsapru:
some help

I am kinda noob here for android. I have an desire S with S-ON and it seems u were able to achieve temp root using gingerbreak1.2, i tried same with fast boot off and usb debug on. But when i root it, it wont restart and after a manual restart i am not seeing superuser installed and no issues with SD card also. So do you have any idea what am i doing wrong or is it total luck!! to get a temp root?
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
jus to confirm ur using the apk

in between attempts restart phone.

for me 1.1 and 1.2 work

im on 2.3.3 official 1.28.401.1

when u click root it should say rooting.. etc

and if u leave it running for a few mins 5-10 jus let it run it should say something like not sure what happened there. leave it for a few mins...

at this point bring down the notification bar jus to see if phone has crashed if it has wait for it to restart dont pull battery and if the bar comes down leave it bk and click ok in gingerbreak and u shud have superuser and temp root

have a go mate if not im gna make a video of it and uploading so people can see and maybe have ideas on how to solve it x
[HTC Desire S] mohitsapru:
Temp Root SUCCESS!!

Thanks for answering the query chwads2k8, and it worked!!! the missing link was that i had restarted without first checking for root.

So key is to check if the root is obtained before restarting.

So for the records i have followed these steps and i am running

stock android 2.3.3

Build 1.31.720.2

1. Copied v1.2 apk in a fresh sd card and installed it to phone.

2. ran the tool and clicked root

3. Message saying "Not sure what happened here..." came within like 30sec of clicking root.

4. waited for another 5-6 mins with the message on screen no crash no restart on the device.

5. Clicked Ok on the message and checked if i have a root(without a restart): SUCCESS!!! :)

Thanks,

Deal breaker :(

I found out that i am really a noob :o I was thinking a temp root would be enough for me to modify some files and they will be saved :( Yup it was but every time I reboot my phone all the changes are gone... Have learnt it a hard way... Seems i need to wait till a S-OFF way arrives for Desire S

But still learnt lot of things :)

PS. if someone want google navigation (NON US) u cud probably use temp root to install hacked version of navigation ;)

1. Go to shell "adb shell"

2. type "su" prompt shud change to "#" from "$"

hi guys

- how do I disable fastboot?

- assuming I will get temp root and will be able uninstall some htc apps, after reboot these apps will be stil not there?
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
Removing apps with temp root will not permanently remove the app. Disable Fastboot in the Setting > Power menu.
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
The so called temp root doesn't work at all. SD card gets unmounted so no use for rom manager and super user foece closes so no real root access. No bypass signed hboot so no root until naughty htc gives the password or someone leaks the source.....
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
It only seems to add Superuser but it doesn't seem to do anything other than that, oh and make the phone so unstable that no apps work. It does allow increased permissions as apps that require root access will boot however the functions they try to actually carry out seem to fail, possibly due to the unmounted SD card. I have tried manually mounting the SD card using ADB, no luck... Not sure quite what else to try... Ideas??
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
linking /sdcard to /data/local/tmp
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
But sdcard is showing as accessible via adb when rooted, the phone won't mount it as such so apps that look for it can't see it.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
that's why i thought if we link an directory to the sdcard we could maybe use it as a virtual sdcard to get programs like rom manager and titanium backup running
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
I like the idea, but as I said, if you get into adb shell you can view the /sdcard directory and the /mnt/sdcard show the card contents, I think what needs to happen is the OS needs to re-enable the sdcard as an sdcard
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
that won't happen cause its GingerBreak blocking the sdcard to the system

in my other post where i posted the adb gingerbreak we can maybe try to edit the script to enable sdcard again
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
I've been looking back at the source for GingerBreak to try and work out how the SD Card is removed, so to possibly reverse the process, only to realise that I never bothered to listen in Computer Science in college and can't remember **** about C.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
i still know c from my school so i am gonna have a look later, even if i think we won't have much success there

can u link me the soruce?
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
Gingerbreak 1.2 Source
[HTC Desire S] pastynko:
I temp root my Desire S with gingerbreak, then go to Linda file manager, go to phone -> mnt -> sdcard -> click on recovery.img -> I was asked with which program I want to open this file, so I selected ROM Manager, which asked for root - I allowed it - and phone was rebooted into recovery, but recovery was not flashed so I don't think this will work even if the SD will be mounted...

btw, if super user is FCing all you need to do is reinstall the application (after temp root) and it will work just fine ;)

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
No, the battle will only be won when they send some kinda OTA update to unlock the bootloaders on existing phone. Until then, this holds no value for us cuz we're not getting new - unlocked phones for a year or even 2.

But if they get a way to unlock the other ones i guess we will can use them to unlock our desire s
