Retain Twitter Tab/Peep functionality through a flash or hard reset

Before you ask, I don't have first hand experience with this. This is based on successful attempts by other members of the community.

This only works if the Twitter Tab/Peep currently still work for you. If it doesn't, then you are out of luck, and this will not work for you.

​

To retain the functionality of the Peep client through a flash of a new ROM or a hard reset, you will need to follow the steps listed below.

1. Stop Sense and soft reset to make sure that Sense doesn't continue altering information while you are backing up data.

2. Back up the entire key of "HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager." You really only need the Twitter strings, but it's easier to just back up the whole thing.

3. Backup the entire folder of \Temp\TwitEng. This is where the Twitter authentication token is stored.

4. Flash the new ROM or hard reset, whichever you need to do.

5. Once the new ROM is stable and working, stop Sense and soft reset.

6. Restore the registry key and backed up directory.

7. Soft reset and then enable Sense. The Twitter tab should now continue working for you without any trouble.

EDIT: JVH3 made a pair of posts about this HERE and HERE. The second one talks about authenticating another device with the backed up data.

Great initiative ! I'm very curious to hear about HTC's reception of the issue, and see if they will take the initiative to fix it...or imagine a way to justify how not doing it ;)
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
Please use this thread to contact HTC about the problem. Please don't link them to this thread, though. I started this with the intention that others would use the information I have gathered on the issue to contact HTC in an informed manner to get it resolved.

Basically, the more noise is made on this issue, the better chance there will be to have it fixed.
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
HOLY $ |-| 1 +, it worked!

Ok, so I received official word that Peep is being looked into by HTC. I would still encourage anyone reading this to contact them with the information I have provided here. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say.
[General Topics] JVH3:
Looks alot like what I posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13790743&postcount=34951

Your thread is a better place for it though.

I also posted this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13520319&postcount=34836

Which is helpful if you have another device that still is authenticated with the Twitter tab and transfering the info to another device.

Real glad you got things going with HTC to finally work on this.
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, I already knew the key and file that needed to back up, but I forgot where I saw the bit about turning on and off Sense. Thanks. I'll add some credit for you. :)

Yea, there's a bit more that I can't post due to personal or sensitive information, but it's looking good so far. I'll keep updating this as more info rolls in. I'm hoping that other people contact them about it as well.

Lets hope Peep developer team in HTC are getting ready with new client :confused:

[General Topics] spikeyl:
Thanks - i found this earlier and tried all these but none of them work! Having read through the thread above I can see why though - it is related to the security authentication issue, so currently no fix.
[General Topics] Simon_WM:
Yeah, and HTC are planning on bring out a fix, but wont say which devices, will get the supported fix,
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
The only devices that will get the fix are the ones that have official Sense 2.5 ROMs. There are only four of them.

1. Leo

2. Rhodium

3. Photon

4. Topaz

My recent communications with HTC contain personal information regarding the fix. It is being worked on, but there is no current ETA that they have provided. I am keeping in touch with them and working with HTC to resolve the problem. I'll update this thread as more information is provided to me.

EDIT: Please don't post here about possible fixes. There is no fix for this error. The problem is with Peep and has nothing to do with Twitter. Logging in and out of Twitter on the desktop will have no bearing on the Peep application. No applications are allowed to access Twitter's API though unsecured connections, thus Peep is excluded.
[General Topics] jools5431:
My Twitter also stopped working sometime last week, but I don't ever remember logging out. However when I scrolled past the peep tab on my HD2 this morning it read "no tweets" instead of the click to login screen (or whatever it said). I clicked the screen and now have tweets going back to sometime yesterday. Is this any way connected?
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
This is unrelated if you did not log out, as far as we know. Twitter isn't yet blocking anyone from their API who already has a connection. They are only refusing new attempts.
[General Topics] wensing:

Just to add my story:

Thx for info, I did Hard Reset today and I'm unable to login now.
[General Topics] GauBan:
I've got the same problem to. I logged out of Peep and then when I tried to log back in I am told that the password is incorrect.

Could of things I've found is that Peep doesn't even manage confirmation if the account and is not holding any of the changes in the reguistry. I removed the registy entries for Twitter under HTCAccountManager and they were not re-created when Peep tries to log in. I also removed athurentication for Peep under my Twitter (After the problem started). When trying to log in Peep doesn't seem to try to get access of Twitter either.
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
HTC has been out of touch with me for a while. I requested some feedback from them again, so I'll see what's what when they respond.

[General Topics] wensing:
I can confirm HTC Peep is working now.

Also on the Twitter Application page there is "HTC Peep by HTC Corp." as authorized again.

Now it is working again - for the moment - I have backed up the needed files and registry entries, just in case ;)
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
Peep is working again....

Ok, Peep is now working again, but this still does not fix the security issue in it. I have updated HTC with the information I gathered in testing.

I'm hoping HTC is only giving me the advise of searching XDA, and doesn't make it a habit seeing as they regularly void warranties for the stuff we do here.

May be they are keeping quite now as the Peep started working since last 2 wks :confused:
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
Possibly, but it still does not resolve the security issue. This work-around will break again in a short time, as it always does. Twitter will eventually lock the app out again, and HTC will not provide a fix if we don't bother them heavily about it now.

Twitter tab freezes

Hi all,

I was not using HTC Peep tab for a long.

In last days I did it and I was experiencing the HTC Peep access error.

I found some thread on xda about OAuth issue and installed the hotfix from HTC web site.

What I'm experiencing right now is a freezing of the HTC Peep tab: buttons below remaing those of the last tab I was in and HTC Peep tab does not respond to any click...

Therefore I feel to be one of those "out of luck" as cajunflavoredbob says :mad:

Any idea.... please help!

I have an HTC HD mini with original ROM and CHT 2.2 installed and working properly.

Thanks in advance
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
That sounds like a ROM issue, not a Peep issue. If the buttons aren't changing when moving across tabs, then most likely there is something funky going on with Sense.
[General Topics] brontolo999:
thanks for your reply... sincerely I have no idea.... :confused:

I can only say I experienced the following:

- Peep tab working (no freezing) but cannot download tweets

- installation of HTC hotfix related to OAuth issue

- Peep tab no more working and freezes

so the issue appeared just after the installation of that fix
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, the fix doesn't do anything anymore. You shouldn't really need it for anything.

My experience - with 02/2011 fix Peep can read timeline|mentions and post tweets. but Direct messages are unavailable because of new Twitter security policy, started from July, 1, 2011 :(

Latest official ROM, 1.36.488.1 (94538) WWE

panoramic moTweets now have the same issue with DMs :(
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
There is an update available for moTweets that fixes the DM issue.
[General Topics] JVH3:
The rar you posted contains 2 exe files.

1 - the security update that is from February 11, 2011 for Rhodium.

2 - Something from May 27, 2010 for Rhodium. (way outdated and not needed.)

The second one 2_HTC Touch Pro2_RHO_S2_00895 is not needed if you are using the updated ROM by HTC for the Tilt 2, since that came out around August 30, 2010. It is also not needed if you are using any recent custom ROM.

And if you are using a custom ROM found here on XDA, it also probably already has the first fix in it. The exe will only work for for stock Rhodium ROMs. Back when that fix came out, I made a cab that would would install on custom Rhodium ROMs and CFB made them for the other devices. And psoted them allin a thread he created. After the latest security problem with Twitter, the cabs were pulled and the thread was closed. Twitter has since allowed the old HTC phones to access Twitter without the added security.
[General Topics] popsrle:
Ok. What about HTC HD2 Leo? Is there any appropriate peep fix?

[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
End of the road

HTC's official position is that they no longer support their WM devices. I have tried and tried to get them to either distribute the source or spend the twenty minutes to apply the fix that I handed to them. Do to that outcome, I'm requesting this thread be closed.
[General Topics] osiedacz:
It drives me crazy when a company does that. The day they stop selling a product themselves, they drop support. They don't care that phone and other companies are still selling brandnew boxed phones. They don't care that people buy a phone and expect to get a couple good years out of it. Nope, they just bank the money that already made and move on. You would think they would at least have a 1 year support for them.

Even though you move it (When the developer does not support) it will still beak the app. So there's no point of moving it :D

Hi Folks.

Not entirely sure if this should've been in themes/apps but hey -- it's a question & the search came up dry.

Anyway - I've tried to use Quickoffice several times for testing purposes. There are some bug reports on the card in .txt format. I thought they should do nicely, but nooo-no. Insufficient memory was the disappointing error message. I know -- I know. The available memory on these things have a limit. I tried to shut down everything I could and got about 200 megs free. The error report was about 3,5 megs. I figured that ought to suffice even if Quickoffice was a nasty "hog". It didn't make one tiny difference. What am I missing here? Please help.

And of course you'll have to use Eugene's Froyo That doesn't brick odin first then odin JFD then you'll be good to go. Something with the file system in CM makes it so you have to do all these steps to get back to stock and to be able to use Voodoo again well I had to do it...;)

just odin back to stock but im not sure if u check off re-partition?? when going back to stock from cm7?

The reference to Eugene's ftdb is only needed in special circumstances.
[Vibrant General] jordanjf86:
You should be fine just using ODIN to go back to JFD. You

will

want to select repartition as well when coming from CM7. You wouldnt need to use the Froyo that does not brick in this circumstance. That would be used say for example if you forgot to disable Voodoo and flashed a non Voodoo ROM over it.

Running Das BAMF Remix v1.6.3 and the kernel that comes with it (bamf 4.4.7).

I was interested in "upgrading" my kernel to Adrynalyne's Control Freak 2.0. I've never flashed just a kernel, only a ROM.

Questions:

1. What is the advantage of upgrading to CF 2.0?

2. Do I flash it in Clockwork Recovery just like a ROM, but without wiping data/cache?

3. I control my frequency/governor through the Das BAMF Toolkit under CPU Settings, so I uninstalled the SetCPU app (no reason to have two). Can I control CF 2.0 with my current Das BAMF Toolkit or do I need the SetCPU app?

4. I read.... "***WARNING*** These are advanced kernels and you CAN end up not booting if you do not know what you are doing. If In doubt, use a bamf kernel, or DO NOT modify this kernel's advanced options." How can I screw this up if I flash it like a regular ROM?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsk8:
It sounds like you don't know enough about goofing with the cf kernels advanced commands so as long as you stay away from the command line and/or keep a backup kernel you should be fine.

In order to flash a kernel boot into recovery, don't use Rom manager or kernel manager.

Once in recovery wipe the cache partition, go to advanced and wipe David cache, ignore the SD-ext error.

Go back and select choose zip to install.

Navigate to the kernel you downloaded and flash it.

Reboot and enjoy.

Make sure to create a backup prior to flashing encase you do goof something up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
Thanks.

I'm guessing the command line is something not easy to access?

How do I keep a backup kernel?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsk8:
Its easy to access.

For a backup kernel download a froyo kernel from any of the available ones out there. Adrynalyne or imoseyon is what I use.

Hi everyone

First I would like to thank the people who are here that make these awesome developments, I enjoyed them until today when I was trying to find a better

radio rom. I am/was using tytung's NexusHD2 NAND. I was going threw the radio roms listed in one of the threads and tried "Leo_RADIO_15.29.50.07U_2.06.50.04"

I had to get up for a second and when i returned about 5 min. later the phone was unresponsive. When I try to turn it on i can feel the vibrator motor spin for a split second and noda...No light with the wall charger pluged in or USB.

If anyone has an idea to what I did or what can be done I would be ever so grateful. This is my first smart phone and was so happy to have android running on it. I NEED it back. I've only had it for about a week and am lost with out it already.

I want to thank everyone in advance willing to give me some help!

Thanks from The NooB

Chris
[HD2 General] SeaWeed89:
I was reading some more and I'm sure its bricked but the PC does see it when its plugged into the USB...but it doesn't have drivers for it and it didn't have drivers for it before this problem.

I guess the problem is I shouldn't have loaded a TMOUS rom?

I thought It would be "OK" as long as it was a ".50" and not a ".51"

Such a sad day...first my little Leopard gecko broke her leg and then flying ants invade my house and go into my saltwater aquarium and mess that all up and now my new favorite toy is a fishing weight or new target.......I'm afraid to go outside to even go to McD's cause i'm sure i'll die somehow!?!?!?!

Someone please tell me there's hope.

I should have just traded it in for the G2X when I was up the mall today...

But I thought this Nexus NAND was the best thing in the world only problem with this phone was that I had no reception in my house.

Which is why I was messing w/ the radio in the first place...

If anyone figures anything out I'll be in the corner crying..

Thanks again fellas..
