just installed gingerbread on my htc desire hd. and now my root has gone. i know VISIONary wont work on this yet so is there any other way to gain root access??
[General Questions and Answers] GuestD2558:
Hard to say. Sometimes official updates are designed by the carrier along with the manufacturer to disable any root access. If it was an update that required a wipe first, then definitely root will be lost.

Sometimes it's better to find a ROM that has a great reputation for frequent updates and stick with them, however, if you've lost root thanks to the latest update then you may be waiting a while for someone to figure out how to root this latest update to your phone unless you made sure to get something on there like RA that will let you wipe the phone and restore from a previous nandroid backup.

Gingerbreak...

hey could u please explain to me how u installed the gingerbread on ur htc desire hd...i have an unrooted one so idk if its possible to install the new gingerbread RUU but my downgrading process keeps failing (CID Error). I've got my phone running on 1.84.720.3...if you could please help me I would really appreciate it.

However, I've read around the forum and people are claiming that you can reroot your phone with Gingerbreak. Im not sure exactly how..im really new to this but im sure you can find out how to use gingerbreak by searching for it...
[General Questions and Answers] dannysissons:
i installed the update from a zip file on the net. it was the official update though and did require a wipe of user data and cache. it wont let me restore from my back up now as my clockmodrecovery has now gone :( kinda wishing i never updated, gingerbread isnt all that different anyway as htc have the htc sense face on top of android! hmmm!! what to do lol!!
[General Questions and Answers] dannysissons:
you mean the CID on making a gold card. how are you making the gold card?? with hex editing or with a software that does it for you?? i found i had the same problem so i used a hex editor, then worked first time. whats your email, i will send you all the links i used :)
[General Questions and Answers] sagarsaoji:
finally got it to work. Now officially running gingerbread :) have u tried to gingerbreak? Also is there anyway to restore the applications from the SD card to the phone without the apk file?
[General Questions and Answers] dannysissons:
well im not quite sure about the apps as i havent really messed around with it myself yet :/ i have tried doing the gingerbreak but came across a few problems, but i will carry on and keep trying :) how did you manage to sort your CID issue??
[General Questions and Answers] sagarsaoji:
Yeah finally got the goldcard to work :) haven't tried to gingerbreak yet...not sure if its worth rooting since I already have gingerbread with sense running...any reason I should root?

Hi guys...

It might sound ridiculous but why not try to port the HTC Flyer ROM?

Here is the link for the dump:

http://u.115.com/file/f55a340d67

It's a Gingerbread ROM so this won't be a big issue, the only issue I can think of is the resolution (it's 600 x 1024) but Android should be able to downscale/upscale as far as I know...

:rolleyes:

Hello all,

My names Zu and ive been a long time stalker of this forum but this is the first time ive really decided to post up.

Recently I rooted my phone and flashed MrGarak's MIUI 1.4.29 v.4: Freshly Squeezed edition (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970196) onto my phone.

I synced my Google contacts as well as my facebook ones onto my phone.

Before I added the facebook contacts I added my Gfs number which was fine, I could edit her contact on the list etc. All was good.

However after I added the facebook contacts, every time i wish to add a number or edit a contact (facebook ones that is) I get a FC message which tells me that android.process.acore isn't working.

Everything else works perfectly fine.

Is there a way to fix this?

i was had the same problem when i was tested some miui roms in my DESIRE and my DHD

My problem was not solved until i was reflashed the roms... but before i did a full wipe(fact reset, cache & dalvik) and did formats that are in the "mounts and storage paragraph (into CWM)then i was flashed miui again and did "wipe batery status...

strange thing But this way it was;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Also try a "Fix Permissions" from recovery/ROM Manager.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHDRookie:
Hey guys,

Firstly, Thanks for taking the time to look at this post.

I bought a Desire HD last month and have been reading about how the battery adapts to your usage and eventually improves within two to three weeks. This hasnt been the case for me unfortunately. I take my phone off the charger exactly at 12 30pm before going to work and by the time I leave work around 9pm, my battery is usually sitting around the 40 - 45% mark with literally two to three minutes of usage throughout my shift! I tried JuiceDefender but didnt help at all. Also, I uninstalled all the apps I installed when I first got the phone just to check if that made a difference - it did not.

Now I'm no expert at this but from what I could make out from other threads, flashing my rom sounds like a promising option.

My question to the experts is, I have only had this phone for a month, I know it will void my warranty if I flash the rom but do I really need the warranty? I mean I never used any warranty before on any of my phones and since this is such a promising phone, I highly doubt it that something could go wrong (ofcourse with the exception of human error like dropping or losing the phone etc.) If I plan on flashing, which rom would you recommend to a rookie with almost no knowledge about flashing and roms etc but very eager to learn? Any tips, advice, anything at all would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anyone thats going to contribute!:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aradhyat:
Hello,

First I am no expert :). I have rooted and flashed just recently but I have learned a few things or two by hanging around excessively on the forum ;).

In my opinion battery life does improve ,Before rooting n flashing my overnight battery drain on standby mode was abt 9-10% n Now its abt 2-3%.

I started off with CM7 , though it is a very good ROM you won't get battery fix which you are looking for..still you should give it a try..may be it will work for you..

I tried 3-4 More ROMS before settling on MIUI..I keep coming back to it coz the battery life on it just amazing!!!...I get 20 hours+ on moderate usage..

Also radio for a ROM matters a lot...your battery life depends hugely on it...I tried about 6 different radios tll I found the correct one..

Also If you like Sense too much then you can try LeeDroid n RcMixHD both are very good Roms...though RcMicHD is better acc. to me..:)

So I think you should try these 3-4 Roms n see which suits you best.Hope I helped :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi, I wholeheartedly agree with aradhyat.

MIUI IMO has all the benefits of Android & Cyanogen + Excellent UI Design.

Your warranty is safe. jkoljo contacted HTC and confirmed that software modifications do not void the warranty. Your carrier/network maybe a bit funny though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHDRookie:
Thanks heaps guys for such quick responses!

If flashing the rom doesnt void warranty, thats just superb. So I will give the mentioned rom a go and see how it works for me. Any tips for a guy who has never flashed a rom or anything like it? I'm pretty good with computers but just havent had any experience on this side.

Also, one question that was unanswered, is this normal for a battery to act this way on a stock rom? I mean the way its acting up for me, drains almost 60% while just sitting in my pocket or on my desk. Did any one of you also experience such a sucky battery life before flashing your roms?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
No, your battery should not drain that fast under those conditions. It could be simply a misconfigured app that's hogging your juice.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
well, no, not really, its not normal for the battery to act like that with Stock ROM.

I think it depends on your initial first battery charge time.

::The following story is copyrighted!::

me and my 3 brothers all got the Desire HD.

my first brother charged for approx 20hrs at the first time with the phone being closed, and his battery is fine.

my 2nd brother charged till the battery got full with the phone on, and his battery finishes in half a day without alot of usage.

They both warned me, 1st brother told me to charge for 20hrs, second told me to charge for 24hrs, i charged inbetween (22hrs), and my battery is good!

:D (but true story)

:::::::

my overnight battery drainage is 3%. once i didnt use it for a whole day, and it was still in its 90's.

I think it depends on how you intially charge your phone, it matters greatly (HTC recommends 8hrs charge at first)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Great, your firmware is Ok for rooting directly.

Follow this thread -- > HERE

Then this one --> HERE

There is some overlap, i.e Visionary so no need to perform that twice.

Once done. Install ROM Manager from the market, and flash Recovery from there.

Use 3.x.x.x for Gingerbread based ROMs

Or 2.x.x.x for FroYo based ROMs.

Now you are ready to flash some ROMs!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHDRookie:
I turned it on the second I unboxed it (being the impatient pr**k I am). Does that mean I need a new battery? Or is there a remedy?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aradhyat:
If you are experiencing such huge battery drain, I think you should get it checked b'coz Even when on stock I never had that much problem.t

Lol..I did the same but did you let it discharge it completely before charging it again or charged it right away after playing with it a little ;)..

coz I switched mine on as soon as i bought it but let it drain before charging for about 10-12 hours for the first time...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
Yea, need new battery.

(try charging battery for a long time, i dont know if it'll help, but it wont hurt to try - IF that doesnt work, then i strongly recommend a new battery)

I was going mad waiting 22hrs!!!, but that meant wayy better battery power!

Search google or something on how to use the battery properly. i've had many issues in the past with batteries, but after reading articles, my batteries last longer now
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHDRookie:
Not sure if I remember what I did after playing with it, the excitement was so great I forgot about anything and everything else that mattered at that time :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHDRookie:
Sweet, thanks heaps for your help guys. Will be calling HTC and my service provider today just to double check with them too and afterwards flashing. I'm thinking of going for RcMixHD as alot of people have only good things to say about that rom. Any thoughts or ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHDRookie:
Turns out I had 28 days from date of purchase to get it swapped on the spot if there were any issues with the handset. Today was the 28th day, how fortunate!

Anyway, had it replaced and its on charge now, wont be turning it on any time soon though:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskival:
just some advice

hey just a few words of advice from someone that has done a lot of flashing on numerous phones with numerous software types.

i reccomend getting a few little apps;

1. Titanium Backup (for safety i only back up apps I install + data)

2. SMS Backup and Restore (specifically for backing up sms/mms and works across different roms and even handsets)

3. Faster Fix (just in case if your phone doesnt set gps pool correctly causing a delay in time for fix

and just generally its pretty straight forward how to flash different roms especially after you do it a few times. but i do reccoment patience and time, and you will be fine and if anything happens just ask, everyone ehre is happy to help

put chat,ppp-start.sh,ppp-stop.sh in /system/xbin and give them execution permissions
go into /etc/ppp and make a directory "peers"
put 3g in the peers dir you just created

I looked at my modem (Novatel) and it's the same as that, so I'm guessing it's pretty much the same on yours also. My only question is "how' to do this. Do I put it in one of the config files or do I have to download some terminal program to do it manually every time?

Hi all,

I've found the way to make my ZTE MF626 USB Stick to work !

For many USB Modem, you'll need first to switch from "USB CDROM" to "USB MODEM".

For that, i've found the "usb_switchmode" ARM compiled script.

You can follow the instructions on this blog :

freedune.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/3g-evdo-datamodems-an-adam-work-in-progress/

After that, you can apply the tutorial of this thread.

That would be great. And if you have the workaround it would be even better if you could include "19d2:0117" for the MF 190 as well. I would by you a beer for this. :D

I don't have a USB 3G modem but I do have a Nokia 5230 phone which I can use with the Nokia PC Suite on my Win 7 laptop to connect to Internet. When I connect the Nokia phone to my a500 and select Mass Store on phone, then a500 correctly identifies it as a usb_storage. Of course, if I select PC suite on phone, nothing happens because there is no PC Suite application installed on my a500 (wish such an app can be made). So what i am interested to know is:

1. Can the Nokia phones (or for that matter any other 3G phone) be used as a USB modem on Acer a500? (Nokia X6, Samsung Wave and many android and wifi phones can be used as Wi-Fi hot spots, unfortunately my Nokia 5230 is not a wifi enabled phone)

2. If not usb, then can the mobile phones be used as modems via bluetooth connection? If you surf the Archos website (http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_101it/connected.html?country=ca&lang=en) it says " via phone's Portable Wifi hotspot, Bluetooth or even USB cable, your ARCHOS 10 can use your cellphone as a 3.5G modem". Question is, how can a bluetooth connection be used to relay internet connection to other device?
