A nandroid is the same thing as a backup, which you do from recovery. Restoring the nandroid [backup] restores the phone to the exact state as it was, texts, ect, as when backed up. Going to recovery and restoring the backup would be your best bet.

[Nexus One General] crachel:
The article states it only affects users using their phone over open WiFi. If you're a user using 2-step authentication, you are not affected even over open WiFi, as the 2-step accounts are incompatible with ClientLogin. So, if this is an issue for you, enable 2-step authentication within your Google Account and you have patched this gaping hole (or maybe it was Google that patched it??)

Edit: lol, found Google's ClientLogin write-up here and they actually admit this is not the most secure way of logging in http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps.html perhaps ZDNet and these crack team of researchers over-looked Google's outright recommendation not to use ClientLogin if security is an issue? ZDNet doesn't care, they just want you to click away

[Nexus One General] crachel:
Google is fixing this issue server-side.. so unless Android is a server, there is another gaping hole in the reporting of this.

I'm not really trying to defend Google, its just I loathe blogs and the simpletons that typically stir up BS as a profession. But basically what is at issue here is ClientLogin NOT Android.. Any app on any platform that can send and receive HTTP POST can use this API and is susceptible. As GldRush says, https fixes but really what is at issue here is you are not safe over open WiFi no matter what device or platform you're on.

Hi guys,

first I'm sorry for creating a new Thread but I'm not allowed do reply to the tutorial thread, because I'm below 10 posts.

ok.

I rooted my Xperia Play according to this Tutorial:

But now the signal is worse than before. I tried to update, but it was not possible anymore because of the modification.

Can anyone help me to restore the original firmware?
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Not root you mean bootloader unlock?

yes i unlocked the bootloader and installed that new rooted image.

so is there a way to undo it? so that i get a better signal again...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Did you try one of the other three?

just because your on the "highest number" one doesn't mean it's going to work the best. i'd try out the other two. The other thing to consider is if you've gone over your 5Gb data limit they will throttle you.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
I will give the other two a try right now.

I am connected to wifi most the time so I HIGHLY doubt I went over my usage, I have once a few months ago when I didnt have home internet and it was WAY slower than the posted speeds. They throttle you down to like 3-4kbps. I did notice my phone was set to only operate on 2g networks but I disabled that and its still getting the same speeds.

Since it was set to 2g networks only why am I still able to see a H icon?

EDIT: Just tried all of the radios and they all give roughly the same speeds.

ANOTHER EDIT: Im now on stock radio with Royal Ginger 2.1. Speeds are: Ping:66ms Down:57kbps Up:170kbps
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiehairspray:
Your data speeds have so many variables. The biggest one I can think of would be your location. If you are in a basement, you can't expect to get good speeds on your data. I've noticed that my data speeds are fairly slow after an immediate flash. Could just be coincidence, but I'd recommend looking into all the variables.

At my house, I live in the basement. I get 1.3 megs tops down there for download speed. Out where I attend school, I get 2.7, and at times, I've gotten 4mbs. It's not so much a "flash, test for 5 minutes, flash different radio" process. Definitely requires patience.

[Desire HD General] zener79:
Hello everybody,

I'm an happy N1 owner since february 2011. I tried a lot of custom ROMs and now I'm using the last MIUI.

I just bought (I'll got in my hand in few days) a new Desire HD for 299 euro (the price was too good), but I'm still unsure whether to sell my N1 and keep the new DHD or resell the DHD and keep my loved N1.

I don't really care too much about Sense UI, but battery life is really important, as is speed, display and "longevity"

I'll post the same question in the Nexus One forum... so I'll get a more complete opinion.

Thank you all
[Desire HD General] hookguy:
I've owned a Nexus One and played with a Desire HD, and while I can't comment on battery life the Desire HD was so much better in every aspect.
[Desire HD General] NefariousNipple:
Considering you have both to hand, why not just use each of them for a week and decide which you prefer? I think you'll quickly realise the differences between the two phones when you are using them.

Actually ... I decided to keep my Nexus one.

The Desire HD is huge... it doesn't fit good in my hand... I don't have the right feeling ;-)

Thank you anyway

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeythesnake:
Debranded my handset with a stock HTC ROM, and now instead of getting OTA updates earlier I get them later. The check for update box does absolutely nothing.

Can anyone help me ascertain why? Running 2.2.1 build 1.72.405.3

Or at least help me update.

Thanks,

Jake
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
How did you debrand? I also debranded my phone (was on T-mobile) by using a goldcard and using that to install a stock ROM but that wasn't enough. You'll need to change your phone's CID (an ID that determines which ROMs you can install - stock, Vodafone, T-Mobile etc), or SuperCID (install any ROM).

In order to do that, you will probably need to downgrade your ROM. Simply follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

After the downgrade, follow these steps:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

The author's Easy Radio Tool allows you to do various things (S-OFF, SimUnlock, SuperCID). The only thing you need to do to get the OTA is to perform the last command in the list on the application (Stock CID), although of course you can do all the other stuff as well.

I just simply did the Stock CID and immediately afterward could get the update notification. My previously T-Mobile Desire HD is now running the shiny new 2.3 update nicely.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeythesnake:
How do I check whether I have SuperCID, as I followed this tutorial here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857444

So I *should* have it.

I debranded by following the above tutorial and installing a stock ROM which I downloaded from here.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
According to this post,

Although SuperCID allows you to install RUUs from anywhere, I wonder if it would also prevent you from getting the OTA update. It's possible that, when you preform a check, the phone sends your CID to HTC's servers which see if your CID has an update, and a CID of 11111111 will never have. If all else fails, try setting your CID to the stock HTC one rather than SuperCID.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeythesnake:
Ah I don't have ENG S-OFF, and when I go into FASTBOOT and select BOOTLOADER it returns me to the 'main menu', followed by a short period where everything is non responsive and a brief message flashed in green about a few files. Is this normal when attempting to access the BOOTLOADER menu with ENG S-OFF?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
Yes that's normal. I believe the delay is the bootloader scanning the SD card for a firmware file.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeythesnake:
So I can't check my SID?

To check it I have to get ENG S-OFF, and to get ENG S-OFF I have to permroot my phone, for which I have to flash back to a 1.32 build...

Also, if I flash back to 1.32 to permroot and S-OFF etc, and *then* I finally update OTA to the latest will that not remove my permroot and S-OFF like it did with the 1.72 OTA update? Would I have to install a full RUU rather than update? But then surely I can never update...

This confuses me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
If you update using the OTA, you will lose your root but you won't lose your S-OFF as far as I'm aware. According to the instructions on the One click Radio S-OFF tool, in order to revert back to stock you have to use the tool again to S-ON, which implies that S-OFF is retained between firmware updates.

So, if you permroot (downgrading to 1.32 if needs be) and then use the Radio S-OFF tool to set your CID to stock you should be able to get the OTA update and get future ones too.

*Edit* just looking at the instructions for the One Click tool, it looks like you can do a temproot if you just want to set the CID to stock.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeythesnake:
Every time I run visionary and try to temproot it gets stuck on the plain black screen after the "attempting to temproot now". Have to press the home key (and wait) to back out of the app, any successive launches just take me straight back there.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrbekhit:
Are you sure you've downgraded and running the 1.32.405.6 ROM? Have you got USB debugging enabled?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AnsgarM:
Hey,

I'm not really new to this forum but I was only a quiet reader and no great "poster". So I wasn't allowed to post in the development section. (I also don't wanted to post some useless spam only to get those 10 Posts, Would there be any other way to enable this for me?).

My Problem:

I configured a Mercurial Repository (hosted by Bitbucket) and uploaded an Android Project from my netbook. Everything worked (and works) fine so far (I'm able to Commit&Push changes).

But as I try to clone/import the repository on my other Computer, Eclipse doesn't recognizes my Project as an Android Project and that "Convert to Android Project" doesnt't work. (Using Ubuntu 10.10)

So, I guess there are a couple of great devs out there in this forum, that have experience with how to import an Mercurial-hosted Android Project into your workspace. Please help me :)

Well I've never actually used the droid 2 since I'm in the uk. But errm if you mean have motoblur on the milestone/droid1 then no. Well...you might be able to but but then you will be running with 1mb ram free because when I had my defy on 2.1 with motoblur it only had 50mb free ram normally and that's rubbish. The defy has 512mb of ram hence motoblur and moto's 2.1 (should be leanest rom there is) takes up over 400mb of ram. That's without jit. think what 2.3 will be like with motoblur on the milestone 1

Hope this helped
