Thanks! Thats what I needed to know, I was thinking its kind of stupid that they only have a "detect" button.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KitsuneKnight:
What? You're doing it backwards!

If TI is writing to /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup, but you want it to write to /Removable/MicroSD/TitaniumBackup instead, then /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup should be the symlink, pointing to a directory on the SD card!

The target's filesystem doesn't matter (fat32), only the source's (i.e. ext4 on the internal storage).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
Good catch, either way it doesn't matter now because I don't need symlinks since I know how to do it in TB now.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-e-n-2:
Hello!

When I bought my Desire, I asked the seller to root it and to flash it with another rom for me.

Then I read something about a goldcard. Since the original rom was from Orange (French provider) and the previous owner had it unlocked (officially or not I don't know ), will I ever have to use a goldcard? As I don't have a goldcard, what can go wrong?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Goldcard is a tool which is required when you try to flash stock ROM. There are a myriad of reasons why you might need to do that in the future.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Here is the method I used:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-easily-create-gold-card-for-htc-desire-without-hex-editing/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
If you do not have a goldcard you could be unable to flash an ruu. You need to do this, if you want to set your phone completely back to stock. You need to this, when you want to "delete signs" of root, s-off and installed custom roms. So that when you sent your phone back to your provider/seller, you can assert a warranty claim, although you lost it with rooting (and so on) your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-e-n-2:
Ohhh shh**tt!!

@stringer7: thanks for the link.

I have a backup of the original ROM. Can't I just reflash it to restore the phone back @stock? Can I still make a goldcard?

Thanks for your help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
As far as i know, you can make a goldcard at any time. It's just important to have one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zafatron:
You shouldn't need a Goldcard- but it's completely optional and beneficial in some ways
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-e-n-2:
Well I plan to give my Desire to my Mom and buy another phone, I don't want her to experience any rom related bug so I'll turn it back to official rom...

Can I simply reflash the backed up official rom? Will I lose Root and/or S-Off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes you would then lose root and s-off.

You could reflash your backup - but if it's a nandroid backup, that would have been done after you rooted wouldn't it, so you would get rooted official rom.

So best thing is find the ruu for your device and carrier, create goldcard and run the ruu? You will find tutorials on XDA for this!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-e-n-2:
Ok thank you very much for your answers ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Press the thanks button. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-e-n-2:
Back again...

If a phone got officialy unlocked (= desimlocked), is it still branded?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageypeep:
Rooting a phone does not take the branding off it, flashing a Rom with no branding does that... For example, my phone provider is virgin mobile, when i rooted it I still had virgins logos and apps on my phone... When i flashed a custom Rom, I didn't :-)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
I have read the guides about returning s-on and going back to stock. But from everything i read, this does not apply to gfree. How do I get s-on with gfree? There are many a people in the remove permanent root thread that have complained of the same thing. Can someone help me :(

Edit: Seems I need to use gfree in conjunction with the steps outlined in the remove permanent root topic. Problem is, when do I use gfree to turn s back on? After I install the original pcimg, after the ota update, or before all of it?

Edit again: Seems all the info needed is here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision

Would still like some advice on if you think they will give me a hard time on the problem below...

Also, the reason i'm sending it back is because i'm STILL not done paying this phone off, and it has a VERY VERY small hairline crack at the bottom of the screen, it is barely noticeable and honestly looks like a hair if you really look at it. Do you think they will catch it and charge my account! I really hope not!!! The phone itself does not have a scratch or dent anywhere on it other than that. I see other people sending back things in way worse condition hardware and software wise, so i'm not too worried, but just want to tap into others experience with this type of issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
I'm with ya on this. I gave up on my exchange because the hex editor didn't work. Plus the guides seem to have small holes in the instructions which make it hard for me to complete

If its a really small crack they won't and shouldn't say anything as long as its small. I had a G1 back when it came out and got a replacement which already had a crack in it. No matter what they tell you, you are getting a refurb. After a few returns they end up offering you a new one...but it takes a lot of returns or you threatening to leave. If you are a long standing customer with good history the retainment department can do a whole hell of a lot more that the customer service/tech support department
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Thank you for the reply. Have been a customer since it was voicestream and have not been late once in 10 years. I'd say thats a good customer!!!! I already called and submitted the exchange, so now the clock is ticking on this!

Also very worried I'm gonna get a phone with gb preloaded and won't be able to root it :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
If you are in the us I really don't think you will. They sent me a replacement that got here last week and was still froyo. I think you get gb if it went in for repair or they got a new one. I don't know that for sure but it makes sense if you think about it. I sent it back because I really didn't need to get exchange they sort of forced it. I didn't that dusty refurb that was in a cheap box with the worlds worst wrapping(the plastic covering the screen was all torn everywhere lol)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:

Would it affect the possibility to flash original firmware when an update (eventualy) will be presented?

btw the org rom i have now V10a supports norwegian/scandinavian dictionary and character sets, does the v10c base band 0606 support the same?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Since no one will answer this on the thread for the ROM;

This is the 1st time I ever did a partition and uses APS2SD, so when a new vewrsion of the ROM, or any ROM with APS2SD built in comes out, what do I NOT wipe with Amon Ra Wipe?

Do I still do a Wipe ALL DATA/Factory Reset like I alwasy?? Or do I wipe everything individually but not SD CARD? OR NOT SD EXT???

Do I need to copy my SD card to my computer, and then reformat and repartition????

One person please answer this question I've asked 14 times...... :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
When you want to flash a new ROM, wipe as usual (data/factory, cache, dalvik cache) but also do "sdext". This will ensure that any apps stored in your partition are also cleared out for a fresh and clean install of your new ROM

And about wiping 'sdcard"... this would resultin losing pics, backups, etc.

Tower, this is SkyRaider requesting a fly-by...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I guess it's weird then that when I wipe all, it doesn't wipe the SD Card, unless it skips that on purpose, which would make sense....

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadden:
Good to know ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
When you select wipe all (in among 2.3) it shouldn't wipe your SD card, but it does include SD ext I believe. If there was no ext3 partition then it would skip that part. I have 2 cards, one is the 8gb card that is not partitioned, and the other is 16gb with ext3 partition. With the card that isn't partitioned, when I select wipe all it will say "skipping g" on the sd ext wipe. With my card that is partitioned, it does not skip that part and it wipes normally.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
THanks, K2...

My fear was that with the EXT Partition, it might wipe the whole card.

I know that sounds a little ridiculous, but ya never know
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
No problem man. Just be aware, there is an option in amon that WILL wipe out your entire card. the 'wipe sdcard' will wipe it all, gone forever. Just be sure to choose the SDEXT option to format just the partition.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
See, that's what had me confused, because when you click wipe all, it looks like all those sub "categories" (Cache, Dalvik, EXT3, etc) get wiped in the process, but apparently, that's not the case
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
The ones you list do indeed get wiped. It wipes EXT3 but not the FAT32 partition where your "normal" data lies. That's definitely how it should be. In fact, I don't even like having that Wipe SDCARD option there. It scares me. Good thing I don't do much wiping while drunk.

[Galaxy S II General] jjdoctor:
Today I recieved my SGS2. I bought that online. The seller told me that it is factory unlocked but when I saw the O2 Logo at Startup, I got it that its Branded.

I called the Seller and he said, He will send Unlock Key to me and that will make it Factory unlocked OR If I want to replace, He can send me Factory unlocked.

Guys tell me what to do? Should I change it or Replace it?

Do you think branded phones are better or factory Unlocked?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
There's actually two separate issues. Getting the SIM unlocked is no big deal and once it is you can use it freely on any carrier. A branded phone is supported by the carrier that branded it. That means unique updates that are usually rolled out after Samsung's general releases. I don't know about O2, but most carriers add their own customizations, apps, and settings to their phones. They may or may not bother or effect you. There's instructions in the dev section on how to "unbrand" a branded phone. It requires rooting and some time and skill. If you don't want to go though the hassle return the phone and ask for an unbranded one.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Personally, I'd always go for the unbranded option if it's given. The only reason is that when you get your next phone in xx months time, you can sell an unbranded a lot more favourably than a branded one, even when SIM unlocked.

That's the experience I've had, so it's only my opinion.
[Galaxy S II General] plau13:
replace it if given the option. naturally.
[Galaxy S II General] jjdoctor:
The Seller gives one year warranty, but he says he has to open the seal of the box to confirm that units have all accessories and LCD is not damaged before shipment since he imports those.

How would I know that he has De-branded that phone and sent me again?

If A set is De-Branded, How can I find that it was previosuly Branded..?
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
More likely that there's something dodgy about your seller.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Stock O2 UK firmware has minor branding .One an O2 boot screen and two minor bookmarks on web browser for O2 .

Original O2 Product code is G|T-I9100KAO2U with CSC KD1O2U.

Debranded means removing original firmware and no way to tell what was their before .Apart from stuff in the box with an O2 label or the O2 Product code on the Box .

[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
What will happen if you return is he will de brand your device hence why he has told you he would have to open to check. That is bull, he should no what stock he has. Your im a sticky situation but i guess it all depends on if you are planning on rooting your device and planning on flashing custom Roms cus if you was then not a alot to worry about, keep what you got or REFUND
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Branded means it has branding on it does not mean it is sim locked .

Factory unlock in this respect suggests that he will unlock the locked to a network so any sim card can be used ..

NOTE OP you have double posted this question which is a waste of everyone's time answering the same question twice .

[Defy Android Development] Zinshin:
My SD card won't mount.

It is probably the sbf I'm using. I tried updating my stock rom to official 2.2.2, but when I booted up an SD card icon was in my status bar. When I go into "SD card & phone storage settings", the option to "Mount SD card" is there. But when I press it, it tries to prepare it, and tells me that it is "safe to remove". Back to where I was before.

I tried flashing to Nordic, and other ROMS, but no joy.

What do you recommend?

Should I factory reset when flashing?

Android system recovery doesn't show a problem of mounting the SD card fyi.
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
ALWAYS wipe before you flash an sbf! I do it from recovery and immediately pull battery and boot into bootloader to flash. I had this SD card issue once while playing with tons of various roms. It has something to do with address mappings being screwed up. I would wipe all from recovery and reflash sbf

you probably dont have r/w privilages on the /system

adb shell su -

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

then push again.

then when you're done:

adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

to make it read only once again

if it's not that, you might have to close the dialer application and or reboot your phone for the affected to be reloaded.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Heh, I just realized that "adb remount" does basically what I was telling you to do (mount it in read/write mode), so those steps are unnecessary.

Try Pulling the app again and see if your files are in it. If they are, then it's not a permissions issue. However, try also doing a log dump while pushing it. You can get a program called alogcat on the market to have it record directly on your phone while you are pushing it, since that will make it easier for you.
