Hey I have a question. So I'm going from a captivated to a HTC Inspire. And I don't want to root. But I do have some photos and files that are saved on titanium backup in my vault free app. Is there a way to get those off of there and on my new phone without having to root?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You can only use titanium backup (tb) when you are rooted. If the files are on the phone/sdcard and not only in tb, you can try to use myhphone explorer:

I can recommend MyPhoneExplorer only if you upgrade to a new phone.

Is there a fix for the music player and all players based on it so they can read the artist in ogg files? Half of my library shows "unknown artist."

Would it be possible for a developer to fix this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] umibuzu:
I have the same problem. All my ogg file appear like "unknown artist". The Tag is OK but androïd can't see it.

Maybe a problem with text code in UTF or AINSI

Hi, i was thinking of flashing rcmix or insertcoin new roms with the new sense i just dont want all the sense 3.0 stuff... i know how to remove it (just remove the stuff in the *.zip file) but i dont know wish apk...
[Desire General] Fr_78:
Don't flash the last rom ;)
[Desire General] jokk3:
seems like everyone makes roms with sense 3.0, i dont want it, i want a standard gingerbread rom with the new desireHD/desire s sense...

so i can take a rom with sense 3.0 stuff in it and remove that 3.0 but what files...

Fr_78 well i kinda have to flash a new rom, the old once arent stable enough...
[Desire General] theyau:
Flash rcmixhd
[Desire General] jokk3:
and sense 2.1 is in that rom?
[Desire General] dzumagos:
no pure sense 2.1 rom, only 2.1+3.0

and i dont think you can simply delete .apk since its connected to some other files (framework.res ?)
[Desire General] 777ace:
Cook your own ROM.

And post it here, for people to donate to you :)
[Desire General] island3r:
InsertCoin 1.0.5 is mostly sense 2.1 (no weather lockscreen, just the ring). It's rock solid, so you could just flash that.
[Desire General] kszaq:
I'd recommend taking a look at Cool AceS rom - it's pure Sense 2.1. I've been using it for quite a long time and all I can say is that it's very stable and fast enough for day-to-day use. And don't forget updating the kernel to v5 to get the compass working.
[Desire General] bobsie41:
I use RCMixS 2.0 but removed the lockscreen.apk from the rom zip before flashing.

All that remains is sense 2.1. Fast, smooth, stable and good battery life!

it's possible ??
[Desire General] erklat:
Alex-V, baadnwz and teppic74 have their stock 2.3 roms based on the latest official release.
[Desire General] SoftWord:
Yes but with HTC apps.......and odexed......

unofficial BravoS from coolexe?

that has sense 2.1 only and htc apps

you can just remove htc apps from the zip before you flash it too
[Desire General] SoftWord:
good, but I can do simply:

rm -rf "/system/app/*htc*"

My real question is: "how can I recognize which is HTC apps ?"
[Desire General] Lothaen:
most of them do have HTC slapped in there somewhere..

e.g. com.htc.facebook.apk or com.htcmail.apk :p

if you google or search around i think there's a list of all the safe to remove apps somewhere and what they do

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Futur Innovations:
The power button suddenly quit working today. I left it in my grandparents car while we were in church (boring) and after church, I tried to turn it on, but the power button didn't do anything! So when we got home, I plugged it in, then the screen came on as if nothing was wrong. I tried pressing the power button, but nothing happened. Is there any way to reboot it without the power button (and no I am not rooted, I'm keeping my tablet stock, unlike my DInc :D )? Do you think it's a hardware (button) problem or a software problem? The button clicks when you press it just as it always has, so I don't know what the problem is :(

Thanks in advance :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Sounds like black screen of death. Nothing serious, just hold power button for 10 seconds, then start it again and it should be fine.

Otherwise root and flash netformer 1.4r2, which may or may not fix the issue.

RMA time?

Mine had the same problem shortly after I purchased during the summer. I ended up having to send it in to be repaired under warrenty. According to the repair sheet they replaced a daughter board.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
No one can help you except Asus. Sounds like you need an RMA.

I had a similar problem with my volume button exactly two weeks after getting my Transformer. I promptly returned it to Best Buy and exchanged it for a new one. Luckily I was still within my return/exchange period (by the skin of my teeth).

I now try to avoid using the hardware buttons as much as possible. I use the audio manager app to control the volume and plug the device in to turn it on (I try to use the power button as little as possible). I'm not rooted so I have to use the button to turn of my device.

Those buttons always felt a bit flimsy to me and I see it as the biggest build quality issue with the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
You don't need Root to have a screen button to turn off your TF.

All you need is the free app 'Screen Off and Lock'

It's an excellent App with a lot of amusing tools for switching the screen off.

I have it installed on my non-rooted Samsung Galaxy SII. The Market says it is compatible with the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
I meant actually shutting the device off, is in powering off. But thanks, it will be a useful app anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Ahh... I see. Hope you find the App interesting anyway. It does have quite a few comical methods in switching off. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
Yeah I I'm trying it out. I clicked on your thanks button. ;)

I'll eventually root my TF and try out an app that will allow me to shut down my TF without using the hardware button. My TF is a B7O but I think it an early rootable version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Good luck with the root and many thanks for the Thank You. Each vote comes in handy when my surgical team check my votes at the end of each week.

Just letting you know that my power button died while the unit was still quite new. I ended up having to send it back for repairs to the dreaded Texas center (at my cost I may add) but they got it back in about a week and it seems to work, at least for the time being. Between that and having had to have my dock repaired this has been the most problematic tablet/computer I have ever owned. It is actually a pretty nice unit in many ways, but build quality seems to be pretty abysmal. What worries me is that if it has so many problems when it is new, what will it be like when it has a bit of age on it? This has also prevented me from rooting it until the warranty is over, since if something like this goes wrong and you can't restore it to stock they won't fix it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesquiros:
I had the same problem after I got a new cover. The power button did not do anything while in the cover, when I took it out of the new cover the power button works perfectly. The new cover has magnets for closing it. I belive the magnets were causing interference. Everything is good now.
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I'm a noob of Android and I begin yesterday to read this forum and find some solution.

I bought this new phone HTC EDIT: "Desire S" from a friend of mine, but the version installed is very strange:

Android 2.3.3

HTC Sense 2.1

Radio 20.26.30.084AU _38.03.00.03_M

Build 1.21 .0.0 CL18158 test-keys

Software 1.21.0.0

I have installed "root check" app and it say that I have the root access and I haven't do nothing.

I would like to install the official rom (I found the verision on this post ) to resolve some bugs that are present in my phone, but I don't know if the device will work well.

I need first to backup all the rom and in case of problem re-install.

I install ROM Manager and try to install ClockworkMod but it give me an error about privileged. The problem could be the S-ON, but I'm not sure.

Now the question:

how to make a S-Off without risk?

If I install a official rom, do the ClockworkMod, root access and S-OFF remain installed?

If I reach my goal, I will created a guide that collect the steps of installing a rom for noob as me :)
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
1) desire or desire s?

2) test keys? if u got a s-off bootloader, don't update your rom, WE NEED YOUR BOOTLOADER! :D
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
1. It is Desire S. :)

2. I will not update in this case. How I can be sure that is it S-off? In that case how can I give you my bootloader?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
Hold [volume-down] and [power] when the phone's turned off.

That last bit's the tricky part - because of a feature called fast boot the DS does not really turn off when you shut it down but just hibernates. So you have to either turn off fast boot (in Settings -> Power) or pull the battery before attempting to enter recovery.

Check the Hboot at the top to see if it's Ship S-ON or S-OFF or ENG
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I just made what you say.

SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)

RADIO-38.03.00.03M

eMMC-boot

Then there is menu with some command.

My phone is S-OFF :)

Can this be usefully for you?
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
EXCELLENT we have an ENG S-OFF Desire-S, anyone of the Developers can help us with this if it's useful by any means?!
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
We need you to dump the Hboot, and upload it here please

1. Download adb zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97) and extract to c:\

2. Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the adb folder cd c:\adb

3. "adb devices" <- Is your device detected? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in.. (sync mode)

4. "adb shell"

5. run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img"

6. Conect your phone in usb mode and Upload to multiupload or Mediafire
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I will do it later because I'm not at home now.

This procedure will save personal data, in the sense that is better first to restore default settings of the phone?

What does it means ENG?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
it won't save any data from you, only your bootloader, not your rom

eng = engineering

it's a bootloader, s-off and with more functions (like fastboot to flash new radios)
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
If we can just get RUU for SAGA same as Asd0rs version 1.21.0.0 won't we be able to flash it to our S-ON devices & get S-OFF :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
OMFG !!!!!!!!!! Finally an ENG S-OFF !!!!!!!!!! This is the same case with the sensation. Hopefully, they'll find a way to push this into our S-On phones. Also, can you please take a pic of your bootloader screen and post it here? Proof's always good. Also, plzz don't do something like the guy with ENG S-OFF Sensation did. DO NOT FLASH ANY ROM, OR YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR ENG S-OFF, and we'll be screwed. Thanks !!!

EDIT: It seems like HTC is dropping these on purpose ;)

PS - I thanked
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
if this works, be sure to put some donate button somwhere. we all gona owe you at least a beer :) or vino :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yup, we definitely do.
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I cannot use an external link to post the image, but I put an attachment.

I want to update my phone, but at this point I will wait for the original version of the rom but with S-OFF and root access. Is that possibile or I can found a faster way to update my phone? :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
In Italian we say: a free beer is alway welcome :D

Later I will try to follow the guide of zorbakun in this thread
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I follow the guide but when execute this command: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img , I recive this error: "/sdcard/hboot.img: cannot open for write: Read-only file system"

What's wrong? :(
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
Try this instead

run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/hboot.img"
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I have try on a different pc before use the last command posted and I obtain an image. ;)

Here .img: http://www.multiupload.com/BEJJ617CR8

Is it ok? Do you need anything else?
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
Sorry that turned out not to be the Hboot partition, now try again this new command with the correct mmcblk0p18 partition same as IS & upload it here, Thanks mate :)

"dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/hboot.img"
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:

hi guys is this a good news for us? can this S-off our Desire S? thanks
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes, it is, and it can s-off out desire s if the devs make use of it.

Sorry, i didnt get your question. What do you mean by update??
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well u can't flash any official ruu it will update your bootloader, u have to flash recovery with fastboot (go to bootloader, then use in cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, take recovery from lovebootcaptains thread in development forum, flashboot executable is from android sdk) and then u can flash a custom rom based on the newest htc ruu
[HTC Desire S] dam2sekc:
awesome, looking forward to being able to actually get some things changed! yeah! Quick question though - every time i try and check to see if im s-on i can never geti it right, and my phone boots into safe mode! can anyone give me pointers?
[HTC Desire S] jazzaddict:
Thanks heaps! Would you provide us the md5sum of the hboot.img on your PC please? :D Sigh...I just realised S-ON DS still need root to flash the eng hboot? :mad: if gingerbreak temp-root on S-ON can somewhat allow us to flash the ENG-hboot into S-OFF then, that will be awesome!
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
Turn off Fast Boot in Settings>Power then power off the phone until the lights on the buttons go out. Hold down Vol-Down and press power. Should boot to the HBOOT white screen. Just look at the first line to see if it says S-ON or S-OFF :)
[HTC Desire S] dam2sekc:
Thanks heaps, I looked sround and all that was said that vol down + power, and nothing more.....

yeah Well unfortunately my phone is s-on. i thought it may have been s-off as it has this weird weibo asian app thats pre-installed. bought it from hong kong, but it came with a uk charger. Cant wait till i can actually get rid of all the apps that i dont use, i really dont understand y htc or any phone manufactirer would waste space like that if you can download all the apps they provide.
[HTC Desire S] pastynko:
temproot won't allow you to flash hboot. It is not possible to do it this way, as when you are temprooted you can see just cached system... that is the reason why all changes disappear after reboot...
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
yeah that s right

even by adb I can not access to deeper couche using usb port

fastest way now, I think, it is to access from sim card port, may be we ll find a solution to change hboot !!!
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
I think that my firmware version and the radio have some bugs. I'd like to upgrade the firmware version with the "official" one. Then I would like to test other rom created by the user, if it is possible.

I'm very noob and I haven't understand all the steps. Where is possible to find a guide or a thread where they speak about that. :confused:

I don't understand what do you need. If you say what I have to do, I do it. ;) But I need to understand what I will do!

I think that my phone isn't in the right hands. Does someone want to buy it? :D
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
i dont have much time so short tutorial:

1) download android sdk or google for fastboot.exe

2) put recovery image from lovebootcaptain's thread to the fastboot exe

3) open cmd, cd to the directory with fastboot

4) reboot to bootloader

5) type in cmd: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (or whatever is the name of lbc's recovery image)

6) reboot to recovery (dunno the combination, google for it, sorry)

7) follow lovebootcaptain's tutorial how to flash his rom

@jazzaddict: no temproot doesn't allows to flash bootloader sadly

edit: attached easy flash for you

download the attachment, extract and run the flash.bat and follow the orders

this will install recovery for you and boot into it

note: everything you do will be at your own risk :P

for curios & safety reasons here the code of the flash.bat:

@echo off
cls
adb devices
echo If your device is not listed exit this program now, enable usb debugging and try again.
pause
cls
adb reboot bootloader
echo Wait for your device to enter the bootloader
pause
cls
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
echo Wait for your device to boot up android and connect to pc
pause
adb reboot recovery
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
nice

I will try it at home

really I was afraid to change any thing without having a backup for hboot

by the way, if it works, we can flash any any rom whatever its version

by downgrading first my version to 1.27 :cool: should be ?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
u don't have to downgrade then, with a custom recovery u can flash every rom from the development forum of the desire s

just avoid ruu roms cause they will kill your s-off bootloader
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
ok

but i am s-on !!!

and im looking to by pass the protection using this hboot
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
oh crap i missed your post... thought it's reply from the op...

well u just have to wait it's impossible to edit atm

you can temproot and backup your own hboot

anyway no need to try at home what i wrote, it's only a tutorial for the op how to install a new recovery

it will do nothing on your phone if you are s-on and you can't flash with fastboot cause it's a eng bootloader function ;)
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
:(

ok waiting for a way to s-off

thought that I could by pass this hboot

and I already try something few days ago , but I found there is no way (now) using usb port
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well brokenworm your way is working but it's a high risk to forget replacing so i think he will be better if he uses only custom roms, and our custom roms here aren't bad

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccheel:
My Vibrant periodically "loses sight" of media I have downloaded. I have downloaded ringtones off of zedge and podcasts through Dogg Catcher. Periodically (not sure what causes it), the phone cannot find those things. This means that if I have set a custom ringtone, my phone does not ring. I have missed several calls because of this. At first, I thought it was a Zedge issue, but it happens in DoggCatcher as well. I will go into play a downloaded podcast, and I get an error that the file cannot be found. If I reboot, it fixes itself, but it happens later.

I am running Bionix Nextgen, but I know it's not a ROM issue, because it also happened on other ROMs I have used. I think it's a matter of my phone looking for a file in a certain place instead of where it is housed. Could it be an SD issue? Anyone have this happen to them? Any help is appreciated.
