[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dongster:
Just walked out from HTC Singapore HarbourFront.

HTC frontline said: "Unable to downgrade from Android 2.3 to 2.2 as advised by technical engineers due to different bootloader and may damage the motherboard."

Me: well, downgrade the bootloader as well.

HTC: As advised by our technical team, it is not allowed.

Me: ok, I bought this device as Android 2.2. I just want to reset back to original version.

HTC: "Unable to downgrade from Android 2.3 to 2.2 as advised by technical engineers due to different bootloader and may damage the motherboard."

Me: so what other alternatives? Can I escalate this to your manager?

HTC: I'm sorry sir. You have to write in via email.

Me: ok, what is the email address?

HTC: sir, there is no email address, but you can use the email us button on our website.

Me: THANK YOU.

in malaysia, they replace motherboard for you...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubir2k:
what? really?? why would you need to replace mobo just to downgrade? :confused:

so, did you ask them to change?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrianyujs:
because I OTA updated to 2.3 gingerbread and find it more worst, den go to service centre and ask can downgrade to 2.2 or not, they said cannot, only way is change motherboard, den I said OK to replace motherboard, that all..

Tried most of the methods mentioned online to no success..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x1at1on:
The only thing I can think of... Do you have ENG S-Off? If you are not sure, go Bootloader and see if you have it or not. If you have it my friend, your problem is solved! You can flash CWM recovery via Fastboot command (in Bootloader mode) and then boot into recovery and restore your Nandroid backup!

Goodluck

has there not been a way to root the latest update??? its a good job i was on orange and recieved barely any updates.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dongster:
100% confirmed solution. i followed the following methods and it works:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15290453&postcount=1828

Create a Goldcard

Download this ROM - Mirror

Put the PD98IMG.zip onto the root of your SDCard

Boot phone into Bootloader (hold volume down whilst power on), follow the steps and continue to update

(I encountered an issue here, so I tried my luck with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003 => Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x] and continued with following and was able to downgrade)

When it has completed and your phone boots up, download stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM

Delete the previous PD98IMG.zip from your SDCard. Put the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip onto the root of the SDCard

Boot phone into Bootloader, follow the steps and continue to update

Enjoy~

If you're on a softbank rom you likely cant, noone has made a nandroid backup and the pkgs are different for softbank roms.

You will need to ask your carrier or dell for help if you deleted a system app that you want back.

Or if you can find a copy online/from another phone that might work too

Would it be possible to set my wife up with a DX but without a data plan? Just to make calls and use on wifi?
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
Not with Verizon. They require a data plan to activate voice service on a smartphone.
[Droid X General] Jon El Canche:
And there is no work-around available?
[Droid X General] joebob296:
Im just curious what if your 2 year plan is up? Or if you bought the phone at full retail value? Do you have to have a data plan then?
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
No - they will not let you activate it without data. The only workaround would be to move it to a carrier that doesn't require data on a smartphone, and I'm not sure if that exists.

In the olden days, the data plan used to be optional, but God help you if you used any - $0.15 / KB, so roughly $15 / MB.

Although possible to block data for a device Verizon won't do it.

On older devices you could have a smartphone and have data blocked on the Verizon side. Verizon set the policy that you mush have data on all smart phones made after Nov. 2009.

[Acer Iconia A500] kimycai:
GREAT!!!THX
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Yay

Thanks for the update!
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
When you consider how many people are banging on in here about 3.1 and how it's going to fix 1000's of bugs (Yah, Ok, I know, I'm exaggerating..), there's NOT really a hell of a lot in that list that's all worth screaming for joy about.

I probably won't even bother updating.

There's not a lot in there I want, maybe 1080 output on hdmi (was that "i" or "p"?? If it's 1080i, I definitely won't bother updating just for that..)

Oh, it was "p" (you can't see the original messages when you're entering your one, silly that).. I might update for that.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I personally definitely find the support for wider range of media files and 1080p support already more than worth the upgrade. Not that 720p is anything to scoff at either, but I got a 1080p TV here and my friends have those too, so obviously it's great to have if I wish to hook my tab up to TV.

Besides, people are saying the 3.1 makes the whole thing a lot smoother and faster, so ain't that already good enough of a reason to upgrade?
[Acer Iconia A500] Mautflucht:
The A500 really feels much smoother with HC 3.1 :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
fast / medium / slow <----- Whats that mean?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
the 3.1 will not unlock the bootloader...

why even think about it now?

- They have plan to unlock it, they speak about, and they are aware because HTC will do as well, so just have to wait...

everything comes right when you have the guts to wait for :D
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
your reasoning is confusing, that's all i'm saying. What would make you upgrade, not like we have a custom recovery to roll back to 3.0.1

The game pad and mouse and keyboard is enough for me to upgrade
[Acer Iconia A500] zeuslee:
I think they'll not saying it in official. Chance will be 50/50
[Acer Iconia A500] GadjetGirl59:
Thanks for the update. Can't wait.
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
This is why i lov XDA

Nice, 1080p is a must for some, no news about 1080p mp4 playback?, high profile 720p mp4 video playback is only software and it's choppy (powerpoint like, low fps) and mkv is non existent, I really want tegra to shine because it has the power to.

Also any info about recording at least decent 720p from rear camera, right now kinda sucks (too grainy).
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
1080p mp4 seems to work nicely in 3.1

I tried that Bourne video that was used in a youtube review of the Iconia that played fine on the Xoom and barely at all on the Iconia. It works fine in 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] thiazzi:
I'm going to be in RDP heaven with mouse support :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] bparvin:
I actually had the Xoom before trying out the Iconia. The transition between 3.0.1 to 3.1 was very nice. The system was more responsive, browser was faster and more stable, better support for high profile movies, and the re-sizable widgets made my screens so much more useful. The whole OS seemed more stable, no more random FCs.

So I personally am looking forward to the update.
[Acer Iconia A500] zeuslee:
Yup that's why I waiting for it so long. I hope Acer won't disappoint us.
[Acer Iconia A500] bvdrax:
What do you use for RDP, I haven't wanted to pull the trigger on a paid app without knowing it would work perfectly?
[Acer Iconia A500] SofaKingWeird:
Awesome, I'm really looking forward to the update. I've blown my R Knee out again so I'll be checking in every chance I get. Thank you for the update news!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] MrBoingy:
I've used iTap mobile and it seems to work with no probs. Only got the demo so far but as soon as I have mouse and 1080p output support, I'll buy the full one.

Now all I have to take to work is my tablet. Currently I weigh myself down with a Macbook Pro (cos you know, that's realllly heavy).

I've got Illustrator and Photoshop installed on the server as well so I truly don't need anything other than my tablet.

It'll prolly last a whole day without having to take the power cable in either.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MIMi King:
try going to recovery if succeed then it's possible to change firmware.. there are two ways to do this:

1.Going Manually : Hold down the vol down key then press power... it will boot into recovery.. if not succeed do the second method:

2.download Android SDK or just the adb.exe executable then we are going to run it with command line so add the path to adb.exe like C:\Android_SDK\tools to your path variable then execute this in command line (cmd.exe):

1. adb devices (to see if your device is identified or no.. if your device is listed then go to step 2...)

2.adb reboot recovery (then your phone will boot into recovery.. if succeed you can change, if not then no)

Where's the best place to start learning to make your own ROMs and maybe a custom recovery?

I ask because there currently is nothing for my phone besides root (trust me, I've searched everywhere and found only the exact same things).

So are there any sites or forums that will help me grasp these concepts so I can actually get something started rather than actually hoping for someone else to do it? Because I believe if nobody does anything nothing will ever be done.

So I'm trying to simply add NoDo's Copy&Paste to DFT Original ROM, but i keep getting stuck and irritated.

You ask why? Well because at first all the ROMS were great and very thankyou to our smart developers but ever since the MANGO sdk was released people started adding mango parts to their ROMs and keyboards and FIREWORKS!! but that caused the ROMs to increased in size from 190~mbs to 200-300mbs. The issues comes up when flashing the part04 of the Data.zip and it fails with a sending memory block blah blah blah issue. A fix was announced of simply flashing the OS.nb or something but then none of the tools used are available anymore

Now i've read threw Yukis thread on how to simply extract the sys folder from the IMGFS of lets say the NoDo release for the HD7 and adding it to DFT's IMGFS and poof your done you got Copy&Paste, but for me i get stuck.. I cant figure out how to simply add the sys folder.. Now i bet its so dam easy that i overlooked something that's starring me in the face but i've tried like 6 times and each time get pissed off and just want to punch the screen.

SO if anybody can just clarify the steps to be more straight forward that be very much appreciated

And no smartass comments, don't reply unless it helpful please

Well just make sure you have a good one, and if you do then this is a wonderful phone. Greatly underrated IMO.

But of course there is a "but." And that's the quality control, which sucks ass. That's why you see so many threads regarding bad screens, bad eMMC chips, off centered FFC, creaks at buttons light leakage you name it.

But like I said, if you find that good one then this is an awesome phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
This isn't true I know people who recently got theirs and have the bad screen and chip,i got mines and may and have a good screen,but bad chip...Htc is using both chips still. Even replacement phones can have either once.if you ask me I feel you should save your money for something more recent instead, wait for next year or at least till ice cream sandwich is released, you wans get the best for your money right? The vibrant is very good and should hold you off for something better, I like my mt4g, but it's a minir upgrade for you. Both phones are pretty equal in specs, some downgrades and upgrades...mytouch has the dragon why sammy has the hummingbird,dragon has lower power,but sammy has the power vr 540 or 535 thats better for 3d apps. And it has more internal space, but crappy camera and bad plastic. Mytouch has 4g and vibrant 3g I belive, so the choice is up to you.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I don't think that's necessarily true. I bought mine a week after launch and I got a good screen and good eMMC, and there have been a lot of people who recently purchased it new from T-Mobile who are still reporting bad components. It seems to be related more to the country of manufacture (China vs Taiwan I think it was).
