[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
nevermind. i read up a little on this subject. i can use odin 3 button fix as long as i'm not running the gb bootloaders already. i'll use the aio toolbox tonight and go back to factory w/3 button fix and then flash the gb bootloaders to run serendipity VII. thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
There is s new set of att bootloaders for the captivate. It solves the3 button problem, and you have the ability to go back and forth between froyo and gb roms. Check my sig for the link.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
i'm a noob so i'm probably asking some dumb questions here. you are talking about the att bootloaders by cezar correct? and how do these bootloaders make it easy to switch back and forth between froyo and GB? i thought you have to flash back to stock eclair before you can do this? also, would i use this with serendipity VII and how would i use it because the method of flashing in the directions for VII says to use the odin software supplied? would i just pick the new att bootloaders and put it in the odin program?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
The new loaders are backwards compatible. It's a one click flash. You can flash it on what your running now, no need to go back to stock. I flashed then while I am running Continuum
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
cool. thanks alot for the att bootloaders. i'll download them as soon as i can once my jig gets to my house to get it into download mode.

I created a thread with the fixed 3 Button Fixed Odin.

Please read the entire thread so you understand the warnings.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
quick couple of questions guys. do i need to root before i go att gb bootloaders? also once i load the gb bootloaders where do i go from there to flash serendipity VII? help would be appreciated! thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Why not follow the directions already written for serendipity 7? Any response to you will pretty much be a copy and paste of those.

Put simply flash in this order:

Gb bootloaders

Gb kernel

Rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
ok then, here's another dumb question? once i use the new att gb bootloader one click and that is flashed i need to go to the odin that is supplied to install the kernal? also i know i'm new to this but i don't see the zip for the rom like i seen with 6.4 or cognition. is it inside the kernal install. the reason why i'm asking is because it says in the instructions that if i'm already on a gb based rom i could just use clockwork and flash in recovery? once i download the bootloaders could i do this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
yes you use odin to flash the kernel, that will give you a compatible cwm then you flash the zip.

1. Move open recovery.

2. Unzip.

3. Put open recovery on main sdcard.

I believe there are a few out there for other phones...

Just thought it would be cool if we could have one.

If you know how to push it into the /system/media folder yourself then you can extract the bootanimation.zip folder from the cwm flashable .zip and change the resolution in desc.txt from 480x854 to 540x960

if you do notknow how then either post back or PM me and I will do it for you and upload.

I'm eligible for a $75 discount, but not a $75 upgrade AFAIK.

Regardless, I'm not ready to move to the 3D until a few good devs go and the device is proven in the wild. They're really banking on the bleeding edge and the gimmick crowd on this one. I'm sure there will be something even better closer to when we're all due for a full upgrade next year.

[G2 and Desire Z General] havikx:
i used to have a g1. bought it the month after it came out. then got the g2 a month after it came out. i love my g2.

i may come into an opportunity to get a g2x for my g2. would you trade? i know the g2x has some issues but i'm gunna flash it so it should fix most problems. plus dual-core, 4.1'', front facing cam, hdmi? seems like a pretty good upgrade.

any1 get a g2x after having a g2? howd you feel after switchin?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tooter1:
I got the G2x before selling my G2, I do miss my G2 though, great phone!

I traded my wifes mytouch 4g for another G2 (so I can go back if I want to). :)

I haven't had any problems out of my G2x but, some have had problems.

If you have the opportunity to mess around with the G2x for awhile to make sure it doesn't have any problems that have popped up with others, I would go for the trade.

Even better if they want to do even trade.

Nope, it's not HTC. LG's always have buttloads of issues, and terrible software support. If you think HTC is slow with them, you won't even get them after 6 months with LG.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AroundTheWorld:
Never been a fan of LG when it comes to phones.. just bad experiences with them. I have no problems with the G2, so I don't see any real need to change it to the G2x.

[G2 and Desire Z General] agua4417:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Serious_Beans:
Wait for mytouch 4g slide :D

Is it a straight trade or you adding cash? If it's a straight trade do it, and then sell the phone and buy the G2 back.

Had a G2x, I miss the keyboard so went back to G2. Typing without looking is always a +.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Definitely not worth it. Roommate has one and even after two returns its still a piece of junk even on stock rom. Random reboots, doesn't hold a charge for ****, lockups, white around the edge of the screen, and that's just touching the surface. Its a GORGEOUS phone and when it actually works it rocks, but like I said a year ago, the first gen dual cores were all gonna have problems that needed worked out. And his phone proves it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Mytouch anything is garbage in my opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
The G2X looked really promising, but unfortunately people are having issues with it. I think it looks like a great device. I'm already seeing them for sale as low as $300 though. Its really a shame I thought this would be another good addition to the "G" line of phones for T-mobile.

I think some of the steam got taken from it when the Sensation 4G was announced as well.

If someone offered me one for my G2 I'd probably give it a whirl. I definitely don't think its a big downgrade or anything like that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slapshot30:
It doesn't even deserve to be part of the G series honestly. It's made by LG (don't even get me started with LG). So I don't even count it as part of that phone line.
[G2 and Desire Z General] htc420:
Well I promised myself that I would never buy another LG phone again. So no.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Serious_Beans:
Build quality on the devices is amazing though. The screens used in them IMO not so great, but they are pretty sturdy phones, especially the 4g, so if the 4g slide is anything like the 4g as far as build quality then I'd get one, I'm not THAT much of a fan of the design, but it's a good upgrade from a G2 I think. Dual Core 1.2ghz and once it's rooted and we get CM7 running on it, it's going to be a badass phone. I definitely see the improvement over a single core phone when I used my G2x, even my Nexus S OC'd to 1.3ghz wasn't as smooth as my G2x, so I'm definitely eyeing that 4g slide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Well I kinda got confused about it not having a keyboard. The G1 and G2 had keyboards, then all of a sudden they come out with the G2x from a different manufacturer with no keyboard. Idk.

LG hardware isn't the best, and I guess that's reflected in the current going sales price.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
Having held the g2x I REALLY like the hardware, software is what is killing this thing.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonpartyz:
Hello xda, in accordance with the signup video I have scoured the earth looking for an answer. However I'm not sure how much necro posting is frowned upon here so I thought it would be safer to just start a new thread.

I have an HTC Desire HD from Telus(for use on the Rogers network). I am in the process of rooting it but have encountered a problem. I can gain temporary root on the terminal emulator(Because the $ turns to #) however when attempting to run clockwork flash clockworkmod recovery I get the error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

I get the same error when attempting the "Fix Permissions" so I'm currently at a loss of what to do.

I have the ninja superuser icon in the apps menu however when I open it the screen is blank. I am unsure if this is how it is supposed to be or not. I have seen several references to a permission box that pops up during some of the steps but I haven't seen that at all.

I've tried four separate methods, the last of which coming from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954997

I am currently at step B.d which involves running the S-OFF tool and Easy Radio OFF tool. But still clockwork will not flash a backup, and when I restart the phone I can not get super user to work on the terminal (ie by typing su) and must use the rage method to regain temporary root.

Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but when I restart the phone and attempt to boot in recovery mode, the volume buttons don't allow me to select other options, and instead the phone just forces me to reboot normally.

Some more facts:

model HTC Desire HD A9191

Build # 1.32.405.6

Android 2.2

Anymore info I'm probably forgetting just ask away!

So my question is: Can anyone identify what the issue is?

Thanks much for taking the time to read my question.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steeveeo:
Does visionary not work for you?

I've seen that alot of success has been gained by doing temp root and perm root through it?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
It works. You do not have Telus software in your phone anymore.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
Try my method (I made it because the methods I found for my Telus desire HD were flaky at best and only got temproots from it.)

Since you already flashed to 1.32 start at step 2

If you want to go gingerbread, dl the 2.36.405 ruu and use that and your pc to put 2.3.3 on it (dont worry, it works fine, i was using it since it came out and built a rom based off that, kingdom, and pyramid roms for my own sense 3 rom) and use the gingerbreak method.

I'm at a loss for what to do.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
Disable your Antivirus (Avast say's its malicious), Norton or F-Prot says its clean.

and Internet Explorer 9 says its not trustworthy (because there's .bat files in the zip), Firefox says its fine.

There is no malicious code in the zip, you can edit each individual batch file in the Resource folder to see the code. Its very simple and basic.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonpartyz:
I disabled my antivirus, but when I run Install Visionary nothing happens. The CMD window opens and says it has been succesfuly installed but nothing has been installed, and nothing appeared in the app menu.

Edit: I went into the resource folder and then followed the steps from there and everything worked, except I still don't have the # symbol in terminal (even when entering "su") and ROM manager still gives me the same error.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
go into the resource folder, edit the visionary install batch in notepad, delete the "cls" line, save and exit

rerun it with the phone attached. See if it truly installed successfully.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
you dont need to use the termial in my method.

Once visionary is installed, and you run it, and everything is done exactly whats described in my 9 easy steps thread (along with outcomes along the way), then you should be perm rooted, with s-off and eng-off with supercid.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonpartyz:
I managed to install visionary with your method, however when running Eng-S I encountered the error "Bootloader corrupt, DO NOT REBOOT! Seek help from XDA!"

Help?

Edit: Followed the advice here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14936635 and s-off worked properly this time. Hopefully my DHD won't brick on reboot. Could super user be the problem? it never asks me for permissions or anything, all I have is an icon and a blank screen when i open the app.

Edit2: Rom manager took three attempts to install correctly. Still the same result "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
looks like the superuser application isnt running properly.

I would use the 1.32 ruu (not the pd98img.zip off the sd) and then from a fresh install (without resoring any data other than google account to visit the market)

run through the visionary, s-off tool, eng-off tool, and then reboot again, then install rom manager from the market, run it, it should ask you for permission and may hang for a second, and then say you have about 5 seconds to allow root permissions.

Then install rom's away. if you're not into making seperate rom specific app folders on your sd card, google JSL Er3BuS. its a sense 3 rom without the extra scripts.

How do I install the 1.32 RUU if I can't install it from the SD card?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x1at1on:
It is very easy mate,

1. Download the RUU of your choice from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace

2. Put your phone in charge mode only with USB debug on.

3. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your PC, and close HTC Sync application from your system bar in windows (make sure that HTC Sync is not running as all you need is the driver)

4. Right click on the RUU file and select "Run as Administrator"

5. Connect your DHD by the USB cable to your PC.

6. Click some boxed and "next"s.

7. Waiting!

So thanks again for everyone's help.

So I think what caused the main problem was the Superuser not being installed correctly.

The biggest tip off was that I wasn't being asked for permission for eg ROM manager to perform a task.

What I ended up doing was downloading the 1.34 stock rom and doing a clean wipe before attempting the visionary method. There was a little hiccup with the installation of the stock rom but after that everyone went smoothly. I just followed the basic visionary instructions and voila, works now.

So one more time, thanks a million.

[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
It should but why would you need to do a factory reset if all you have done is freeze the bloatware?
[Motorola Droid X2] wdenker:
other people have tried with no success. I have a thread with all the applications in it just restore them. lots of people are having contact issues when removing certain applications. you'll probably experience the same issues with other functions of the phone if you remove the wrong application.
[Motorola Droid X2] vvildcard:
Uninstalling them with Titanium Backup removes the APK from /system/app, which means it doesn't get re-installed if you restore.

I deleted more than I should have on my first bloat-ware removal and ended up having to find a system dump to recover and replace the lost APK files. The general rule to freeze first is extremely important on the DX2.
