Probably the easiest and safest way ist to boot into fastboot although you don't see it and flash the newsest ruu,

so:

1) make sure, phone is off (i.e. pull battery and put back in)

2) push and hold "back" and hit power.

3) wait 30 seconds or so, to be on the safe side

4) connect phone to pc via usb

5) run RUU on PC, version 2.29.405... (RUU, not OTA!)

And make sure to have some juice in your battery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
Here you can get the RUU:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

Its on >>Shipped Roms<< , 7th from top.

btw. am I assuming correctly that your phone is unbranded?

btw2: Do it all on your own risk. I'm trying to help, but I dont want to be held resposible, if something goes wrong, so maybe wait for someone else to confirm ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jann32:
how do i know that?

can u please stick with me... i will try to do that now

i apriciate your help... i think that nothink worse can be done to my phone, so i will try
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
did you see any provider logo during startup? Or any preinstalled apps or bookmarks which point into a provider's direction? Where did you buy it? And did you need a goldcard for rooting?

if you answer is no on every question, you're probably not branded. :)

Did you write down the version number before you did anything to your phone (when you have a .405. in your version number, your phone is definitely not branded).

Edit: but I really recommend to read the linked thread. My device is unbranded amoled so I never did any of this myself (apart from running a RUU), so always think twice before following my steps :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jann32:
i hope its not branded

do i need to click od hold power button?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
like you do, when you power on. The important part is to hold "back" while powering on ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jann32:
do i have to hold down like 30 sec? no right?

i think this won't work

if i go to the sotre and give the device back... what would be a good excuse for phone not working? :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
no. You have booted into recovery before, didn't you? Now you do the same but use "back" instead of vol- , because you want to boot into fastboot.

All I wanted to say with this 30 seconds is to give it some time to boot into fastboot, thats all. Press and hold "back", press "power", release power, wait 3 seconds, release "back", wait 10 seconds and plug in usb, start ruu.

Thats all I wanted to say with my previous post. ;) Sry, if it was confusing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jann32:
will try again

will the phone vibrate?

YES YES YES its upadatinjg.... hope this works

...my screen is back... but hopefully it finishes correctly... and doesn't go black again

what will happen if the phone is branded?

can i unbrand it?posebly not? cause its bricked ight? :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
no.

10charrrrr

If it is branded, you get a cid-error, so ruu wont finish. But your phone probably isn't branded, otherwise you would have come across problems during flashing custom roms or/or radios (-->goldcard). And because this doesn't seem to be the case, your device is not branded.

When the RUU is done, you phone is completely back to stock and you can do whatever you like to it...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Thanks for sharing! I have a question for you, though: I've tried modifying the image with Xipport and BOOOFF to get it unlocked in the emulator, but I won't run the image after any modification/repackaging.

On the previous images, I could just dump/rebuild the image without issues, but on Mango, even a rebuild with no modifications causes the emulator to freeze after the "Windows Phone" splash screen with the accent color progress bar.

Any thoughts? Is Microsoft using some sort of a checksum or something?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LlabTooFeR:
I haven't looked at unlocking image yet...so I can't say anything about that...tools that you are using is quite old...maybe they do something incorrect...need some time to figure out what goes wrong...

Haven't heard anything but I would assume so. From what I can tell, while recompiled images are indeed valid, some sort of security mechanism is preventing the compositor (start screen) from loading correctly. That, or it's a really convenient glitch ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook-color:
I've got 2 primary uses for this device

1) standard reader ( I convert alot of files to read on cheap LCD ereader I'd like to upgrade ). I read every night in bed - mostly Calibre converted to epub doc's. Some of the content is not worthy of formatting to epub b/c of graphics - tables - so I have to read that on printed paper when the lights are on.

2) Browser / .pdf reader. - Currently I have no ability to do this besides desktop. I'd like my content to be a little more portable - so I can read it on the go.

I really like the 7" form - for epub - but never tried reading off a 10" device.

My main question - is how is this 10" form factor as an e-reader - say lying in bed - or on a couch. I'm not worried about the portability of the 2 sizes - mainly whether or not - the 10" form is cumbersome as being too large to hold as a reader ( too heavy / bulkly )?

My gut says it'll be fine - but would like some reassurances from those who have used this size as a reader for a period of time.

Thanks

I love it, but it's really what you like. Go to best buy and try out reading a chapter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iluxion:
I have the original Nook as my first e-reader and now I use the Transformer. It's a bit heavy while reading in bed and holding it..BUT I prefer it over the Nook as an e-reader for the following reasons:

1. TF has backlight

2. I can read PDF's and not worry about converting them.

3. I can surf the web and do other good stuff on a whim while reading.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandda12:
It can be a bit heavy with one hand or if you don't have a stand. I haven't tried any other reader. I usually get my reading from Kindle app and I am happy with it. I also love it because I can play music while reading.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
I much prefer my Color Nook. 7 inches is the sweet spot for readers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levenite:
I also have a nook (bw) and have tried the nook color.

The backlight cannot be dimmed nearly as much as the nook color for night reading. Aldiko at least has a night reading mode but it is still too bright for total darkness.

Most have light bleeding which is annoying especially for night reading.

Need two hands to hold (1.5lb).

I find the nook color a bit heavy for single handed reading.

Nook for android has color which is nice for magazines and has nice two page landscape view.

Landscape and portrait reading modes

Battery life should exceed nook color.

It is 150ppi vs 170ppi higher quality screen for nook color and the difference is noticeable.

It is highly reflective.

It handles pdf files quite well (adobe reader has reflow option and pinch to zoom) definitely preferable for technical pdf files over nook color.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerirat:
I started reading on Palm Pilots years ago and always wanted a larger screen. I've also owned several eInk readers which are the best, IMO, for novels. I've read on a 7" Android screen (Galaxy TAB) and liked that but I love the 10" screen for reading at home. Fewer page turns and great reading apps are available. The one included with the TF allows you to read 2 pages in landscape mode and you can set it up to recognize your Adobe ID so your encrypted ePubs will be readable without resorting to removing the DRM. You could also use your Nook reading app or one of many others available.

If you work with PDFs, they are better on a 10" screen.

I have no light bleed (and many others don't either) and read in night mode all the time with no issues. My OG Droid has far more light bleed than my TF.

The larger form factor takes a hit when it comes to portability but using the Kindle app on my phone allows me to continue reading the same book on the go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kilmar:
I also carry a nook color and my TF in the bag and prefer to read on the nc in the subway due to the weight and size.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldragon777:
I mainly use my TF as a reader. Here are my thoughts:

1. It's perfect for reading PDFs. Especially for PDFs with a lot of graphs, tables, equations etc, because zooming and panning and page turning are so fluid. Try Repligo for non-scanned PDFs, use ezPDF for scanned PDFs.

2. It's good for reading text heavy documents too. But in that case, a Kindle will be enough.

3. It's very good for normal web browsing and looking up stuff. You cannot do that with Eink.

4. You won't feel comfortable holding the TF for a long time. I just put it in the keyboard dock to free my hands, which is perfect for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I have an original Nook 3G, and have found myself using the TF more often everywhere except in the direct sunlight. It's particularly better for annotations.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlpjunior:
I personally love reading in landscape with two pages side-by-side, and a 10" screen is great for this. Unfortunately, the Kindle app doesn't support this feature yet -- it just uses the whole width of the screen to display one page (kind of silly, and tiring on the eyes).

The Google Books app does put two pages side-by-side in landscape, but unfortunately its catalog of books is significantly smaller in my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itaintrite:
I believe the 7" form is still the best for reading. Period. It's quite uncomfortable to use the TF for reading in bed. Got a Galaxy Tab for my sister and now I don't want to let it go ;P Thankfully I have a Nook color coming :) Perfect for reading books and manga (yes!).

I use the Nook app to sideload epubs. It's my favourite reader, very smooth animation. The TF is still a much better tablet and RSS reader of course ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Same here. The Nook app supports this, and ePub, so that's what I use 99% of the time. I mainly read in bed, so I prop the TF up on my stomach to read, the weight doesn't really bother me in that case. Reading in portrait on a 10" tablet just feels ... odd.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:
From what I understand, most LCD / IPS type computer screens are bad for nighttime reading if that's your thing. There have been studies that back-lit displays in general, unlike the Kindle "e-paper" surface, can be bad on the eyes and can cause insomnia by inhibiting the release of melatonin.

If reading is your primary objective, I'd suggest sticking with an e-reader personally.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Very true. I should have added in my earlier note that I also use my Nook 3G for reading before falling asleep. And the Nook app's great syncing capability is perfect all around.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook-color:
LCD reading is fine for night reading. I use one right now - and it's great not to have to worry about lamp - or switches before turning over for the night's sleep.

I can read longer on my eink sony ereader without fatigue. Lcd backlit tends to make your eyes blurry afterwards

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:
This is true, and it's also just more of a chemical thing supposedly at least. Apparently most forms of artificial light inhibit the release of melatonin to some degree, which makes it harder to sleep at night. whereas e-paper surfaces tend to reflect the light already present in the environment, from what I understand, and it's obviously not as strong as a back-lit LCD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConstantineXVI:
I only use my Transformer for PDFs and anything graphics-heavy, thanks to the screen size. 7" devices will always be more comfortable, I use my Kindle when I don't need the above.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xun3:
Hi Nook-Color,

I personally went from a nook color to the transformer and I found that the size of your reader really depends on your reading habits.

I Personally read a lot of engineering papers (with lots of equations and such), magazines and comics. I have to keep the screen full size for the papers because whenever there's a text reflow, it really messes them up.

Magazines and comics are much nicer on a larger screen.

I find that I do not read text heavy content like novels, so a bigger screen is a must. If your reading contents are mainly text, you'll be better off with a smaller reader.

As for handling, it's no Kindle DX or nook color, as it's much heavier, but i've gotten used to it. I tend to rest my tablets on my stomach when im in bed (really helps with the weight). It's close to the weight of an average Tom Clancy novel, so it's not like you can complain much if that's your primary reading material).

Reading on a couch is also about the same, you'll most likely have to start resting it on an armrest or your leg (if you have a recliner) for long periods.

You'll also have to stay away from any bright lights or a window in the background as the screen is a mirror and will make reading difficult.

The back is also a bit slippery, as it doesn't have the nice rubber back of the nook color so it does get tiring when gripping it. But a silicon case will definitely help (if/when one ever comes out).

Other than that, having a big screen to read is just nice, especially for graphic intensive media.

hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levenite:
Very interesting, I would tend to agree somewhat although there is no such thing as artificial light. Please provide a reference to this info, if possible. I would also think that sufficient display dpi is critical to reading comfort. BTW, some back-lit LCD readers such as the Nook Color can reduce the backlight enough so that brightness alone is not an issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javroch:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook-color:
Does the Transformer - not allow you to reduce LCD brightness much. I currently read @ 40 % settings on my current device at night.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
I does not seem to get a dim as the Nook Color. I have my Nook Color's backlight set to almost 0 and I cannot achieve those levels with my TF.

But, the biggest issue for me is the size and weight. When reading in bed I lay on my back and hold my NC over my head with one hand. I find the TF cannot be held with one hand very easily. The problem is mostly because of the TF's size, but weight is also a factor.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
The backlight is a problem here. There is just no comparison between E-Ink and LCD for reading books.

For this 10'' Transformer is perfect for me.

I find no problems with reading on it that way. Not as handy as Kindle, but still quite ok. The glassy surface could make it difficult depending on the positions of lights in your room (the farther away the better).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netscorer:
Most of the research was concentrating on 'bright' LCD screens. I always use night mode on my Nook Color with black background and white font with brightness set to ~ 20%. I have not noticed any sleep disorder and eye fatigue. In fact, keeping lights down allows me to keep reading while not disturbing other family members.

I do agree that for strictly reading purposes the lighter 7'' screen is preferable to 10'' tablets. Keeping weight down is paramount if one wants to hold eReader with one hand just like regular book.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levenite:
Nothing about the light source. So it seems brightness is the only issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artood2s:
Throwing my 2 cents here.

I came from a Nook Color and I am loving it so far. Comics look amazing on this 10.1" screen (portrait). Books on the Nook app also look quite nice and are easy to read. Magazines are also easier to read than on the Nook, although the app is still sluggish (even with an overclock). The weight is a non-factor for me, but the size is definitely less mobile than the NC.

In the end, it comes down to what you will need it for and where you will be doing it. Most of my reading is done in transit to/from work (Miami metrorail), luchbreaks, and at home. I rarely read outside (usually doing sports) so the glare has not been too much of a factor. Also, if I want to read on the go, I just bust out the much more portable iPhone, and can use that to read the same content for short bursts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCalTiger:
You didn't provide the correct context to your statement regarding melatonin. What you are referring to is the fact that the presence of light outside of the solar daylight cycle disrupts the process of melatonin production which is triggered by the absence of light. So, your statement is only applicable to nighttime reading and furthermore only insomuch as the use of a backlit source would alter the person's current exposure to light sources. i.e. If that person is already reading paper books at night with the lights turned on, switching to a backlit source would not have any further impact.
