Hey,

I've only recently just sorted my T-Mobile DHD out, by that I mean I've rooted mine, which was locked to the network at first. To root it i had to follow certain steps, which i will mention below. Just before i tell you though, if there is a chance anything could go wrong its not on my back so do it at your own will ;)...

The download link is within the link below named as r14 if you were wondering:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

If you need help with what to exactly do with visionary just watch the tutorial in the next link, which i found has everything in you really need to know:

http://hemorrdroids.net/how-to-root-s-off-and-install-custom-roms-on-the-desire-hd/

I don't exactly know if you will need this but i done it to be on the safe side.

Its a tutorial on setting up a goldcard, which i heard from the tutorial i watched was needed for phones locked to a network, don't see what use it did really but still, just in case!

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

Another one here just for a bit more advise on the goldcard! :)

http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/

I'm currently using MIUI & i followed all the procedures on here and its working like a charm but with only one bug but i think that may be my doing. Everytime the battery runs out it just goes to the HBOOT screen but comes on randomly, thats only when i let the battery drain fully so if you want just give all this a try!
[Desire HD General] I'm TheQuest:
It is said there is a danger of reducing the battery life if it is continuously left to

Drain Fully

Take Care

[Desire HD General] Anti_simlock:
Great help guys :D Everything I need!

Now, I have found one sticky thread which is apparently good for starters.click

Seems pretty easy right? ^^

Ok, first question, is there some "master-backup" so in case anything goes wrong, I can back it up, to factory settings? :D

Also, if I do this rooting, can I continue installing normal updates (for example, HTC Sense or Android OS)? And will it have any (negative) impact on the performance of my phone?

many thanks to you lot

btw: yes, I meant locked, not unlocked lol

€: Important Question! I have read several times, that rooting does not unlock your phone and apologies if I have used the wrong terms, but by unlocking a phone, I mean, getting the simlock opened, and not enabling the admin user power. Well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbrown77:
As our device supports otg so can take external devices will it be likely we may see support for external usb tuners?

Guessing the tuner will need drivers and the software to support.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
Possible, likley? Doubt it. I think there are serious processing overheads on decoding rf or digital streams. Without the decoder hardware, or accelerated video hardware of that type. Just an opinion, but I'd bet no :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtybar:
I did a search but no solutions came up.

Basically, when I touch the screen to move the little lock icon over to unlock it nothing happens.

I powered it off by holding power for 10 seconds and then powered it on again.

No bueno, nothing happened.

Anyone else run into this and was able to solve it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leviuqse:
yes, i had the same problem, you will not like this..

do one step at the time and check if it works, if not continue to the next one

1. cold reboot (hold power button for 30-60 seconds),

you can try step 1 several times

2. turn it off, let it charge for 2-3 hours, turn it on

3. reboot to safe mode (this not really sure how i did it..lol.. i think is, turn off and turn on and quickly hold both volume keys until it boots up, if you did it correctly it will boot and say "safe mode" at the bottom left corner).

4. reset to factory settings, hold volume (-) and power key at the same time, (this will erase everything)

when i had this problem, i actually had to cold rebooted several times and reboot into safe mode after step 4 to have the touchscreen working again..I was about this close () to give up and return it to walmart..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom0927:
I had the same thing happen to me, and all the rebooting in the world couldn't fix it. I don't know if you're still on stock rom or not, but what I did was reflashed the Prime rom and it worked again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtybar:
Nothing helped, even hard wipe.

Returned the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpedroson:
I had this same problem... Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting the power drain out. That was a huge pain because the Transformer has a killer battery and there are only so many times you can turn the screen on and off to drain it. It took about 4-5 days to fully drain. After that point I had upgraded to 3.1 and it has worked flawlessly since then... definitely a firmware problem not hardware.

Go to settings, privacy, and un-check the box for show message text in the lockscreen section. Once you open privacy in settings it's pretty easy to figure out.

I have the same problem. How the hell do I disable text on lockscreen?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roku47:
Might not be the perfect solution, but you could always try GO SMS Pro. That app has tons of different options for notifications. Hope it helps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
thanks for the tip, it works great!

BTW, did you have issue on data connection when you change the lockscreen. I have a feeling it's probably not, but just want to ask since I am losing data connection after I made the change. Probably its Verizon flacking ...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
So I am flash junky but I have a question. :)

I was going to flash the latest ClockworkMod but I really don't feel like having to do a full wipe and reload of everything. I am also running Firerat's MTD's. I guess my question is: Is it possible to flash recovery and set Firerat's back up while keeping my current rom/apps/etc all intact? Nandroid obviously won't work because it restores the recovery image etc. as I am running CWM 3.x already but was going to update it.

Thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
You need to wipe everything if you are redoing your FR mtdpartmap OR the recovery, since a new recovery wipes the FR mod. A nand restore DOES work though. SO you would:

nand backup

flash new recovery

wipe

flash fr recovery

wipe

reboot recovery

nand restore

flash fr boot

reboot
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
But the nand restore would restore my recovery too since I am already running CWM 3.x eh?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
No, if you look inside a nand backup the only partitions that are backed up and restored are boot, cache, data, and system. Your recovery will remain intact.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
Weird because when I just ran my backup... one of the listed items that gets backed up is "recovery". Is it lying? :eek:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
FYI your pic is totally normal, nand backs up recovery, cache, etc. All the stuff in your pic. It does not matter, it doesn't overwrite your recovery, ignore it. I know what I'm talking about, I have done those steps a number of times.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
I will go with the flow then... will let ya know. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
Success! Thanks bro... knew I could count on you. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
NP. So yeah c00ller was right, the nand does backup all the stuff in the pic, but it only restores the stuff he mentioned, plus ".android_secure" and "sd-ext" (if you use it). I'm sure my names are off, but yeah it makes FR a lot easier with nand :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
Nandroid doesn't actually restore the recovery image, it only backs it up. And to answer your question, yes, you can install the new recovery without having to wipe out everything.

All you have to do is use ADB to flash the new recovery FROM WITHIN RECOVERY, and then immediately flash fr-recovery before doing ANYTHING else.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Man you're good. For real? No redo of rat stuff? I assume this only applies if you are NOT adjusting the mtd or flashing something new, i.e. only when flashing a new recovery image on it's own?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
Right. But I should point out that I should have said FR-RECOVERY, not FR-BOOT. I just hosed my install by flashing the incorrect one.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
lol...

Ok... so this would work correct? (of course you know I am going to try it anyway... lol)

Boot into recovery.

adb flash recovery

flash fr-recovery

reboot

Nothing else to be done and rom will bootup etc just like before? If so... freaking sweet!

Again... thanks guys.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Is it also necessary to flash fr boot after fr recovery? I assume not but I gotta check.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
Yeah... not sure... to setup Firerat's MTDs, it states to wipe boot, cache, data, system... then flash fr-recovery... then wipe system, cache, data again... reboot into recovery... flash rom etc... then flash fr-boot. Hmm... maybe all those steps aren't needed if it has previously been setup before flashing a new recovery?

He also stated in ALL CAPS to flash the new recovery WHILE BOOTED INTO RECOVERY. I usually flash a recovery via adb when my phone is booted up into a rom, then adb reboot recovery. Flashing it while booted into recovery work differently rather than flashing it while the phone is booted into a rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
That would be correct.

Not if you haven't made any changes to the boot partition.

As long as you already had cMTD set up, and as long as you aren't changing the partition sizes again, and as long as mtdpartmap.txt is still in place, this works.

Use the flash_image binary.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
Boot into recovery...

CMD from Windows

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/blahblah.img

flash fr-recovery from recovery menu

reboot

:) You duh man JM...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalan30:
thanks.

One thing that I thought I should mention. while in recovery I tried to flash_image recovery and it failed saying it could not access my recovery img. So after a couple of tries I figured out I needed to mount my sdcard from the "mounts" menu in cwm, then it allowed me to flash the recovery. Might not be a common issue but I added for what its worth. Thanks everybody.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
You may be able to specify a local .img file instead of from the phones sdcard also:

flash_image recovery c:\blahblah.img

I think... haven't tried it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
This is incorrect.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
Jason, I booted into recovery and tried to flash the 4002 CWM and got this

c:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # flash_image recovery /sdcard/cmw_4002.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cmw_4002.img
failed with error: -1
error opening /sdcard/cmw_4002.img~ #

Does that mean I got a bad .img file possibly?

EDIT: This is in regards to your other thread about the latest CWM recovery from your thread that you currently have the download disabled for but I grabbed it from one of the latest posts that someone linked to their dropbox. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
Make sure your sdcard is mounted.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyr0TeK:
Yeah I did that... I even booted into CM7 and tried... same error. Maybe a bad image file, can't think of what else it would be.

[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
All my other apps install and work as expected.

Google Translate seems to download and install and I can run it once by tapping on the notification that it installed. But it doesn't exit in the list of all apps, nor in the list of apps to unistall. The only way I can uninstall it is to do so from the marketplace app on the phone.

I have tried re-installing it and rebooting the phone. Other apps continue to install and be available to uninstall as expected.

Also noticed Google Reader installs and doesn't appear in the all apps list, but it does exist to be uninstalled in the list of apps to uninstall.

Any ideas? Are these particular apps corrupt in the Marketplace at the moment? It's as if they install but aren't fully registered in the phone??

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
FYI for WidgetLocker lovers..........the latest update has fixed the issues where the fingerprint scanner did not work on the WidgetLocker screen. The fingerprint scanner now unlocks and takes you right to your home screen. If you use the slider bar in WidgetLocker, it no longer takes you to the normal lock screen, but brings up the code unlock screen instead as the regular lock screen does. I have checked this multiple times on my phone on 4.1.83, GladiAtrix, and Cool Blue. :D

WidgetLocker Market Link

You do have to swipe the scanner a wee bit slower it appears, almost like Atrix was prior to 4.1.57 update, but other than that it works fine.

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
When did you update? There was an update yesterday or the day before which did not address this particular issue. The update today wasn't there earlier because I check several times a day for Market updates out of boredom. It appeared this evening in the Market for me. Working great for me now.

Also, how fast are you swiping on the reader? You can't swipe as fast as when not using WidgetLocker.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
When you say slowed down your phone..............in what way? I know it slows down unlocking slightly, but I notice no other slow downs once the phone is unlocked.
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
I updated this morning. I just checked the market again just now & no additional update was available; I'll check back again later. Re: swipe speed, I'd say I didn't change my speed at all. Again, that seemed to not be a problem for ~1/2 a day.
[Atrix 4G General] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The only known issue right now is that Exchange can break things. I'm working on a method for rooted Exchange fingerprint scanning users to bypass this (the trick actually allows for some other things too so it's not as niche of a group as it sounds), but it requires manual XML changes right now and could mess up your system. When it's wrapped into an apk and ready for user testing I'll post somewhere in the Atrix section to let you guys know.

If you're not using Exchange (or a similar device admin that "Requires password") and having issues with it not working in cases that the Motorola lock screen would, then Settings > Report Bug and provide as much details as you can about when it's not working.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
mine doesn't work at all anymore now. before, it would work about 50% of the time, now no response at all. i tried rebooting, clearing my lock screen settings and re-enabling fingerprinting, etc. no dice.
[Atrix 4G General] jsylvia007:
Same here. Mine was working, now it's completely unresponsive. Back to the stock lock screen.

I am one of the elusive Exchange users he mentioned though...
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
is anyone else having problems? i can't get it to work AT ALL. i've uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, gone through every setting in the settings menu... what gives?
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
Still not working consistently enough for me to continue using...bummer... I've been back to stock lock for awhile now & waiting for next update with fingers crossed.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
ok i think i've narrowed it down.

if you set a FP profile, and use a PIN, then it will work. BUT if you are using the pattern unlock and the FP (which you can set by setting as pattern first, then FP with existing profile), it will not work.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I use FP with pin, so maybe you have hit on something there, as I have no issues with it.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
yup, confirmed it's true with the dev, and also that it's Motorola's fault.

"I did notice this in testing, however Motorola does not support the Fingerprint scanner with Pattern so I decided not to either. What you found is unintentional and may have issues on it's own (I haven't tried with the latest firmware, but I had played with that setup on the original firmware and found it unreliable. Setting a delay with the Fingerprint scanner (via sqlite) also caused weirdness).

With regard to WidgetLocker, there's some code in there to handle Motorola's pattern and some other code to handle Motorola's fingerprint scanner. I did try to get both to work, but in limited testing was unable to do so and since it's not officially supported by Motorola I decided not to pursue further. (I actually also thought they fixed the loophole you found in the later firmware so the only way of doing it was sqlite, but apparently I was wrong)"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanoid:
Not sure what happened, but my Desire won't get past the logo boot screen any longer, and RECOVERY mode in HBOOT just reboots the phone (regardless whether the SD card is installed or not). I can get into FASTBOOT however. I tried communicating with the Desire via adb console on my Windows XP system (after ensuring that I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed). "adb" commands

do not

recognize the phone (error: device not found). "Fastboot" commands

do

recognize the phone. (The command "fastboot devices", gives me this in return: SH09ER801629). So I'm not sure if my USB drivers are okay with adb, but the fastboot success seems to suggest so. (Also, "MyHTC" shows up under "Android Devices" in Device Manager).

The phone was rooted with ClockWork Mod using UnRevoked, and had Teppic stock Froy v.2.10.405.2 initd as the OS. Originally, it had TELUS-branded Eclair. I've downloaded the TELUS Froyo RUU.exe, but don't know how to install it on the phone, if I can't access RECOVERY mode or adb console. I don't think I ever set up a Gold Card, to my recollection. Also, I've been out of the smartphone scene for 6 months, and did no mods, no flashes, no program installs to my phone in that time. So it's a mystery as to why this is happening. But the phone had been acting up lately, rebooting by itself during a call every so often.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynestir:
if i'm not mistaken you can run the ruu and it should see the device if connected to pc with fastboot loaded.

as for trying to get back without losing data i'm new to all this so no idea

if you had run ruu on the phone and it was wrong type (i.e gsm ruu on cdma phone or other way round) then that explains the lack of capability.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanoid:
Thanks for the tip. I ran the Froyo TELUS RUU.exe (should be the right type, as I have a Telus phone). It wouldn't work (in both main HBOOT screen and FASTBOOT screen). Gave me an "error 170". It could not connect to the phone, despite that I'm on Windows XP, that it says "Android Bootloader Interface" in Windows Device Manager, that it says "HBOOT USB PLUG" on the HBOOT screen when connected via USB, and that I am able to issue FASTBOOT commands from the PC. But I can't issue adb commands, so it appears I can only "partially" communicate with the phone from the PC.

Should I try CLEAR STORAGE, or could that fully brick my phone?

On the HBOOT screen, these are the status messages that load:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madcr0w:
Put the ROM.zip from the RUU on your SDCard but name it PB99IMG.zip and then boot with volume down again to enter HBOOT, it should give you the option to flash your phone back to factory default then.

HTC Desire Stuck on HTC logo - Recovery not Working - SOLVED!!

Thanks! :D I just tried that on the advice of another poster on another forum (before reading your reply),

and that's the one and only thing that worked!

Especially when, after the RUU.exe wouldn't install, RECOVERY mode wouldn't work, nor adb, nor HTC Sync. Yes, I've lost my root access, but small consideration, considering I haven't lost my $500 investment! I'm sticking with stock now, as I'd rather not risk having a brick in the future.

As for what went wrong, I can't say for sure. But considering it took months after I had installed a ROM or otherwise modified the phone for problems to show up, I'm guessing it was probably the overclocking heating the chips. Which led to eventual random reboots during phone calls, and the eventual freezing of the boot screen, and subsequent inability of HBOOT to load PB99IMG.ZIP.

xda rocks,

thanks to you and all those who took the time to reply
