[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
Just been through this whole process on my UK Inc S, and these are my notes, in case it helps anyone (in the order in which I did it):

1. S-off your phone using XTC Clip: (note, this will wipe all your settings, installed software etc)

Insert empty MicroSD card into XTC Clip

Connect XCT clip to Windows PC and wait for software to auto install

Auto-Run XTC clip software when prompted

Register (Activate) XTC clip

Create Goldcard following instructions in XTC Clip

System: HTC Android

Device: Vivo HTC Incredible S

Version: HBOOT X.XX.XXXX (any)

Disconnect XTC Clip from PC

Disconnect XTC Clip from PC, noting the XTC Clip instructions for unlocking the phone (these are not perfect but good enough to get you through the process)

Connect XTC Clip to phone via SIM cable

Power up XTC Clip via battery

Start phone bootloader (Vol- and power together for a few seconds)

Let unlock software run on phone

Press power button when Power => Reflash prompt appears

Continue to follow XTC Clip instructions to S-off your phone.

Phone is now S-Off, remove phone battery, MicroSD card and Sim cable from phone, re insert battery and start phone bootloader again and verify it is now S-Off.

Remove phone battery, insert Sim card and non Goldcard MicroSD card, boot up phone normally and re-configure your usual settings from scratch.

2. Root your phone:

Connect phone to PC with USB debugging active on phone. You need to have the Android SDK, drivers etc installed.

Confirm connectivity to PC by opening a DOS command window. Type adb devices and you should see the phone serial number displayed.

Download SuperOneClick to your PC and click the Root button and watch you phone get rooted. Reboot.

3. Add custom Recovery – ClockworkMod:

Download Rom Manager form Android market.

Run it and follow the instructions.

Now reboot into ClockworkMod recovery and do a Nandroid backup of the original as shipped, then store it somewhere safe!

FINISHED

All went really smoothly, no issues at all.

I now have an XTC Clip (registered to me) that I don't need any more ! guess I'll have to put it on ebay.

Ok ..and for me to be able to get to the last rom?(to update to 2.3.x.x)(OTA) Must I have s-on and eng-on in order to see the updates? or not?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
Sorry but I have to ask, it is understandable if you want to revert back to stock if you are claiming for the warranty fix, but why do you want to get the OTA update when the modded rom here is far superior (IMO)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJGohan3:
Hm,I think I just want to feel the real rom.........:) and btw do you know a way for install multiple apk at same time(all of them are games...should i .rar them and then flash or how?)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
The quickest way is by backuping and restoring through google. Immediately after flashing, it will automatically download all your apps. Personally, I enjoy installing and tweaking manually the apps one by one.

Another way is of course via Titanium Backup Pro. You can do Batch backup and restore. It's a paid apps by the way.

Installing via CWM... never heard that it's possible
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Then install a rooted version of the "real ROM". It is IDENTICAL except no branding (is that what youwant?) and it's rooted.

You can't just bundle them in a rar no.

As mentioned above, you will need to use Google backup or an application like Titanium to back them up. Both methods will perform an auto restore. Please note that this means they will DOWNLOAD all the apps again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJGohan3:
off that's too bad:( I would have been so pleased if there was a way...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
You still don't have to do anything, the Google backup / 3rd party backup apps do it all for you. And even if you could, depending on how old the backup was you could still end up having many apps needing an update.

It really isn't a big deal and I can't see how it would be any easier.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSJGohan3:
I downloaded a pack of games from a torrent site...and i wanted to install them all at once....they are all apk's......and to do it manually takes a while..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
I just remember... there's a utility called ROM cleaner. Last time I checked there's an option to add apk into the rom itself (experimental). So once you flash your rom, technically all the apk is there.

Just a caution, I didn't follow the utility thread, there's a good chance that it is not compatible with the new gingerbread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doronster195:
I know how it SHOULD work, but it seems it takes much too much effort to put the US-plug attachment into the charger... I put it on and slide it like 80% of the way and it gets stuck and even with a lot of force it won't go in. I don't want to break my charger, what should I do?

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
I was a bit worried about the amount of force required myself, but it did connect without breaking anything for me. Just keep pushing! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Had exactly the same problem with my UK plug here and I actually managed to bend the little T shaped part on the damn plug!!! It still wouldn't go in so got a small flat metal file and gently filed the T shape so it made it slightly smaller and then it clipped together. Seems the notch that receives the T shape is a little too small so had to do some DIY lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doronster195:
Ok I did and it was violent, but it worked. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lani Kai:
I was a bit worried about something breaking, but I had to employ some violence as well. I suspect the attachment may never be removable again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:
I think thats how it was made, since the plugs flip up to hide.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PublicJohnDoe:
Yeah... it took an INSANE amount of force to snap it in.

I, too, was seriously worried of breaking it, but in the end it clicked together... and I'm sure I will never ever take it apart :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
It is removable, trust me, but you have to push at the point it says 'push' on the plug! :D I missed this at first and spent a good few minutes of tugging, scared I'd break the thing!

Hi All, Noob here.

Could some one help me with this issue i'm having.

I've flashed my Desire HD with UD 1.8V ROM. Everything is brilliant except the power widget to turn off wifi, 3g and other sorts seems to have gone missing suddenly. I have rebooted, turned off and on the settings in Settings > Ultimate Droid > Interface > Notification Power Widget but i'm having no luck.

Also, i forgot to flash the recommended radio whilst flasing UD ROM. Is it safe to flash the radio now or do i have to do a clean wipe and reflash the ROM.

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
On Cyanogen there is a separate section to tick what settings appear in the notification bar. If this has the same, check to see they are ticked.

If no such setting then you may have to reflash the ROM. If you DON'T wipe anything all your settings, sms, apps etc should all be ok.

It's safe to flash radio after ROM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tholbear:
Thanks for the quick reply. Ive ticked wifi, 3g and couple of other settings but still no joy. I'll reflash it and see how it goes.

only thing is my sd card is 2gig so will need to buy a bigger one when i got some cash, when i get a bigger one can i just use the pc, drag and drop the files on the card to the pc and then back onto the bigger card, or is all the needed files saved on the phone?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
I think I did read something somewhere about someone using a partition tool to do something similar, but for all practical purposes you should assume a hard reset is required to allow WP7 to format and set up the card properly.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] T-Macgnolia:
Ywe drag and drop will work with photos, videos, documents, and etc. Or you can use copy and past too.

As far as you putting the new card in I think all you have to do is put the SD card in your HD2 and then boot it up. I think it will be like the first time you booted because WP7 uses the SD card for it's internal memory so it will have to format your new card with RAID and place what info it has to place on it. Atleast that is what I have read, I do not use WP7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
It won't. There is no real file explorer for WP7 and I don't believe the filesystem is readable outside of WP7.

I believe you will also need to reflash WP7 to have the card work effectively in the OS.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] argentocruz:
Check this thread...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] T-Macgnolia:
You may be right, but I thought that you could still use drag and drop or copy and paste if you use the little USB mass storage hack for WP7. But I have never used WP7 on my HD2 so what do I know. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
You can to some degree, but it's not as simple as good old WM and WP7 will most likely rename all of the files to add further complication. For a noob, best advice is to expect a hard reset
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Donketdaz:
Well after a day at work, last night i was loving the win 7 on my phone, now i hate it....

Got so many issues with it,

1. Randomly reboots itself every 10 mins or so everytime, all day long and when it does it goes into a sort of safe mode with none of my settings saved, themes etc, and i have to reboot 2+ times to get my settings back, then it goes again after 10mins

2. when screen is locked for a few mins, when i go to unlock it and activate screen nothing happens, then the phone reboots.

3. During all these problems, every other time all the apps stop working, dont load up, reset fixes, not always.

4. Battery dies within an hour os so from full

any others anyone can cecommend or maybe even Android?

Also how do i install a new Rom, do i just run in on the 5th option of Magldr or do i need to delete it off first then install the new one? cheers
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
Your issue most likely isn't WP7 - which is normally quite stable - but an incompatible SD card. I'd suggest you bring forward your plans to get a bigger card - have a read around (there are several threads) to see which flavours of card are more likely to work well - and prepare to re-flash.

You should note that the selection of a suitable SD card does not seem to be an exact science - there is evidence to suggest that almost identical cards may have varying levels of success.

So the bad news is you are facing expense; the good news is that your experience of WP7 isn't representative.

Credit to KeePeeR26 who posted the link in another thread. I think it deserves it's own thread and the mods should consider making it a sticky. I signed the petition and I was the 27th. If we all sign it maybe it'll get LG's attention when it's picked up by the blogs and media. The five of you that have phone's with no problems don't need to sign.

First......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Most of the issues will be resolved with the update that is already is progress. Haven't you seen the gingerbread preview? Only thing it wouldn't fix is probably screen bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
And the Gingerbread update is being coded by the same LG experts that created the original O2X and G2X s/w. Allowing the O2X problems to carry over to a phone launched six months later doesn't give me a lot of confidence in LG. I really am hoping the 2.3.3 update makes the phone stable but indulge my skepticism until we actually get the ROM and see the improvements.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seihaku:
Seems to me they took the critics of the O2X to heart and switched to plain Android to prevent future criticism. They probably basically switched to Gingerbread development after that, meaning the G2X has the same buggy drivers that the O2X had.

"Our smartphone freezes and often reboots in a kind of loop. We can only remove and reinsert the battery to have a working phone again." is the main cause for the petition? Yeah that's definitely an issue I haven't had yet. Wifi knocking out 4G? Thats annoying as hell.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
I havnt seen any issues other than screen bleed and some touch screen issues. Cm7 even at its infant state improved the overall feel of the phone and fixed the touch issues I was having. The biggest complaint I see are reboots and battery problems. Reboots are most likely hardware issues. You should return your phone. Battery issues are more often than not the fault of the user. I bet if you took a poll across the android phones on xda I would put battery issues as the number one issue for android.

hello people,

i've installed windows xp sp2 with a step by step guide on xda (this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=436982) without problems.

At the end, when we have to install wlan drivers, i've noticed that marvell sdio sd8686 appear in the hardware list but there is also a yellow ! on this hardware with the error code number 10, windows cannot start hardware.

I've tried with some other drivers that i found on internet but with the same results. Someone can help me?
[Shift Development] axelTP2:
Hi en_ky!

I was following the other installation method "Installing Windows XP with Windows Post Install (WPI)" that you can find on this forum, but basically should be the same.

Anyway, regarding WLAN on the WPI method it says:

"13. WLAN: Drivers are copied to c:\wlandrivers, install from there when you are asked for them later". This step is just before installing CYGWIN

After finishing with SwapResolution,

"Now it usually asks about the WLAN drivers, see step nr. 13."

"If it asks about drivers for Windows Mobile, just answer yes until it finishes."

"To get Wifi working, you have to copy the "copy HTC Shift XP Drivers\WLAN\sdbus.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ say yes to the replace dialog and reboot."

"DO THIS IN SAFE MODE ONLY. This is how I got mine to work. I had the same problem with the yellow and not working wifi code 10 in the device manager."

"If you copy this without being in safe mode, it will not work because after the reboot the system will replace the overridden version with the old one again."

So check again all the steps and do the last one in Safe Mode (I think here is your problem)!

Good luck!
[Shift Development] en_ky:
thank you for your reply,

I tried to resolve my problem with help of windows update and an eterneth connection for internet. At first it doesn't start with the same yellow ! But after a restart, it starts!!!! :):)

Many thanks to you in any case; i know that your answer will be usefull for another person with this problem!

Has anyone tried SMARTBENCH 2010 or 2011 vs QUADRANT BENCHMARK? Does anyone besides me think it seems more realistic? Not to take anything away from the OC Kernels which definitely make the NC much quicker.

Just DL'd it, installed, and ran it right off the bat. I got an abysmal 473 and a 1543 on graphics. Seems way too low to be true, maybe it is realistic though. Still love my super high quadrants though :P

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma0456:
I had hear about cyanogenmod earlier and even tried to install it once when I was a rank noob without much luck. In my recent explorations of kernels and cifs I found myself at the cm site. It seemed pretty organized and I thought it might be interesting to have another go at it. I followed the instructions and installed it and it worked flawlessly. I restored my apps from Titanium backup and I'm up and running. I did some research in our forum and that, combined with some of my own observations, makes me wonder about the relationship between CM and some of the other roms like Vegan Ginger (which I really like) I get the impression that some or even all of our roms here are derivatives of CM that have been tweaked further by our devs. Is this correct? What is the difference between Vegan Ginger for example and CM7? I'm really puzzled because the kernels and the basic look and feel seem very similar. Someone even remarked that all of our roms are derivatives of CM. I'd be interested to know some of the background and the pedigrees of the various roms and their relationship with CM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Cyanogenmod is one of the more known and talented group of Android ROM developers, developing for many devices and being a large team of dedicated coders, artist, etc...

They have taken the stock AOSP code and have modified, enhanced and added features far beyond the stock code. Most ROMs you see that have these additions are because they are forked from Cyanogenmod's github and then edited to look like their own (different graphic images, different text wording, etc..).

CyanogenMod was also one of the only ROM devs that I know of that got a Cease & Desist letter from Google early on and created the separated config of installing the rom.zip and Gapps.zip (Rom image and Google Apps).

As for how Vegan-Ginger relates...

Firstly please check the link..

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-3077.php

so..as u can see our Desire's screen glass is Gorilla glass confirmed only by gsmarena and i also checked other sites but none of them contain this spec.

so i'm kinda confused regarding this, coz i dont want to use my phone with plastic screen which protector worn out within few days and have to change over and over again..

so what is ur xperience using Desire without any screen protector?
[Desire General] vnvman:
Just NO. Yep, sure it doesn't get scratched by keys and knives, but if you keep it in your pocket thin and sharp dust particles can be deadly. A friend of mine tried to go without a screen protector, and after a month or so there were a few light scratches...guess what happens if you go on like that for a year or so. Also, the first time you go to the seaside you're screwed: so happened to my gf with her brand new ipod touch, which now has a big nice smile in the middle of the screen...dust/sand particles are really dangerous, even for gorilla glass, believe me.
[Desire General] snakeeyes21:
Firstly a screen protector wont 'wear out' within a few days, unless you have finger nails like edward scissorhands then itll last for months before needing to be changed.. ive had my cheap protector on for 3 months already and its still as good as new.. not bad whan it was something like a quid for 6.. and when i do come to change it I know theres still a pristine screen underneath.

Secondly even if it is so called gorilla glass its not immune to getting scratched, isnt it best to have an extra layer that can get scratched before the glass below it does?

You just have to look at the state of some iphones to realise gorilla glass isnt all its cracked up to be
[Desire General] glumardok:
Absolutely no scratches

My Desire was one of the first delivered last year - and until today there is absolutely no scratches on the glass. And I wear the phone with me every day, it has fallen into the dust etc., etc. The metal frame has scratches, the metal plate around the cover of the camera. But not the front glass. I'm really extremely happy with the glass quality.
[Desire General] vnvman:
You might have been lucky there..ever tried to look at it under a very strong light? Micro scratches aren't very likely to be seen in normal use.
