Thank guys for the clear answers...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevekixs:
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

I am not new to development or flashing Roms. However all my experience has been with the galaxy s lineup.

My friend has a mytouch 4g and I want to root his phone and install a custom rom for him.

I was wondering what you guys use to root, and also what you use to flash. Can I just install cwm from clockwork and install them that way? Or do I need something else?

Thanks! :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The best thing to do is root using the method from the Unlockr. Which i have in my signature "how to root with root.sh". Its the same method. That should work for you. If it doesn't you might want to check the "post your eMMC serial number" thread in the general section. There is alot of valuable information in that thread regarding phones do not root using root.sh.

If you just want to force root the phone regardless of it being a good or bad eMMC you can use the ./gfree method.

as far as how to flash ROMs, you can just download Clockwork ROM Manager and flash the Clockwork Recovery image, do a back up, wipe, then flash the ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevekixs:
Thanks. So clockwork works without any modifications. On the vibrant it worked just by flashing the recovery. But with The gs4g Krylon360 had to work long and hard to come up with a recovery and it involves replacing a system/ file. Lol

Anyways. Thanks for the advice. I'm not familiar with that way of rooting but I will look it up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Yea, the MyTouch 4G doesn't have any goofy work arounds once you get s/off.

The MyTouch4G has a security protocol that will prevent us from perma-rooting our phones. You need to manually turn the security protocol off. That is why you see us asking newbs if their "s" is on or off (s-on/s-off). i have links for both in my signature.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevekixs:
You're quick to reply! :)

Yea I've heard about that with the g2. Thanks for the help. I can't see your signature in the app. Ill check it out when i get home.

Thanks a ton.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevekixs:
Actually I work for T-Mobile. I'm getting the sensation 4g on Monday! So I need to get used to HTC anyway.

And I just got gingerbread on my gs4g! Lol. And I'm about to switch.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saproandroid:
i had a custom froyo 2.2 rom (cant remember the name) and decided today to install gingerbread 2.3.

i went for cyanogen rom, downloaded the most recent one and copied it to the SD card.

then i went to recovery mode (an old CWM version that was installed the time i installed froyo). wipe everything, install zip from SD card and everything went good.

2.3 is installed and working, but cyanogen doesnt include google apps so i had to download an extra .zip that includes google apps (market, maps, etc). so i rebooted into CWM (now a new version that was installed with the rom v4.0.0.5) but now it doesnt work!

any option i choose from the CWM menu just doesnt do anything and goes back to the menu. if i scrool down the last option (to return to the first option) he writes "back menu button disabled" and if i go again it writes "back menu button enabled" but still doesnt do anything.

i search the forum and the web and found nothing, please help me because im getting scared that the phone might be broken..

thanks in advance.

Hi

I'm facing exactly the same issue and in full panic mode right now. Please help, I didn't comprehend what you guys meant by move the cursor past the top menu choice three times.Please!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chezbel:
Use the vol + and vol - buttons to move the menu selection cursor. You can cycle through the entire menu wrapping 3 times or you can move backwards from the top choice to the bottom choice then forwards to the top choice again, etc. the source code waits for this "wrapping" to occur 3 times before it enables the back option again.

Thanks a ton . The issue was solved by selecting with the power button for some reason. I'd been trying that earlier but pressing it alongwith the menu button so nothing had happened. Anyways, thanks again for your help and I hope this helps some future noob!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baineteo:
+1. What's the rationale for it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chezbel:
I think it was originally to work around some broken hardware on an old phone. There may be comments in the source code, but i haven't looked in a long time.

EDIT: /bootable/recovery/recovery.c says

And you have to "wrap" 3 times to get the back button to be enabled/disabled.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
Guys, I'm obsessed with keeping a well-organized music library.

I add album art, lyrics and all details to each and every song I download.

I use TagNRaname to achieve this.

Now the problem. On both the Music Player and UberMusic (or any other player), some of my songs display incorrect album art. Like there one of two images that are repeated on several songs, even though those songs have separate embedded album art!

Please help. How do I solve this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Try 'mp3tag' to add song details. ;)

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
The details are added fine!

Its the phone that messes them up!

I have copied the same music to my iPod and the song art is fine there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lycan_codex:
if you are on windows, go to view tab on folder options and check the first one, i.e. Always show icons, never thumbnails.

after selecting this, copy the songs again to your phone, it will show the correct album art.

i had many situations when windows messed up the album art.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darckengel:
Take back the song to your computer and check if the picture is correct.

Also try to wipe the thumbnail database.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
Wiping cache didn't help.

This is so weird. Read.

When I copy the song with the messed up art to PC, it has the art embedded, but it doesn't show it. However, when I switch to Large Icons view mode, the art shows. Then, if I go back to Medium Icons, it shows it.

I suppose the problem above is due to the Windows Thumbnail cache. But... why the device? Why is it not showing the art correctly? And what criteria is it using in choosing the random art that it does show in place of the correct art?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lycan_codex:
did you select the option i have mentioned? did it work?

i believe windows chooses the album art of whichever song you play first in a folder and applies it to all songs which doesnt have any album art.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
I even changed the SD Card today lol

And the Windows thing.. No that I don't use. I delete all the album art files created by Windows. I myself embed art into the mp3 files using a software. That way, the song itself has the art embedded in it.

My music library displays correct artwork in my iPod. The problem only exists on the Galaxy, and that too only in some songs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lycan_codex:
Windows is definitely messy with the album art. even if you delete the album art, it still shows up messed when you play it with windows player.

for me, selecting the Always show icons, never thumbnails in folder options did the trick.

If you use your Ipod, why dont you try adding album art in Itunes and copy it back to windows and check.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacebar2011:
I have the exact same issue. Being a professional DJ, I have to keep my music well organised, well tagged and I also make sure each track has its own album art embedded in it.

I use Media Monkey to tag.

Now, on my Galaxy S, no matter what player I use, some tracks show album art of another track and its just 2 or 3 pictures that show repeatedly on these tracks that are messed up. Its about 30% of the music that shows messed up embedded album art. Some tracks do not show a picture at all despite being tagged with album art. When I mount my SD on the PC and launch Media Monkey, all album art shows up nice and correct. Also, in Windows thumbnail view, all the art shows up correctly too.

I tried clearing Media storage data under applications but no luck. This is so utterly annoying! :mad::mad::mad:

What the hell is it with Android and embedded album art? :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
Some programs just dont encode the album art properly, ive had this happen a few times try this...

download mp3tag - http://download.mp3tag.de/mp3tagv249setup.exe

1 - drag you song that you want to change/update art into mp3tag.

2 - press shift+alt+5 and then change it to "import cover from file"

3 - click save.

the correct album art will now show up on your phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizoot:
solution

I had this same problem and it drove me nuts.

I finally realized that android prefers to use album art instead of my (very specific)

COVER ART

If i had several songs from the same album, they all had the same art... and of course i didnt want this because I had previously downloaded art for every song specifically.

So what i did was, from my pc, deleted all the album names using "mp3tag" software,

Now the songs had no album reference, so the specific cover art was now displayed.

Hi Guys

Had my Atrix for over a week now and I must admit although its ok I'm a bit disappointed on the 3d shooter front, not down the speed, Quake 2 rips along at 50 70 fps and looks lush, but heres the but & a big one I have.

Other 3d shooters use the on screen thumb stick, but when docked using the keyboard and mouse, neither can be used for moving or shooting in the games, ie BIA, Nova etc.

Has anyone managed to get this working so that the keyboard etc. controls the screen or is their any other device that can do this, Ive tried the Zeemote using bluez apk.

Can anyone put me out of my misery as I'm looking at the games on TV but not being able to control them on the TV.

ATB

Paul
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
Interesting point. I never used the phone that way, but I think that is something that need to be addressed. I wonder if its the game or the phone that needs the fix.

I dont think those games are written to be WASD and mouse controlled, but since more and more phones have HDMI outs as well as USB periphericals, it is something that needs to be considered.
[Atrix 4G General] pgunning1:
Thanks for your comments, and as games for these now more powerfull phones are becoming more complex, have the ability to use keyboard/mouse oor zeemote type controller for thumb stick would be great. Can't believe motorola missed this obvious requirement. Especially as they have a games & work pack. Could anyone here write an app to allow this contol in games?

Any thoughts as to how it could be done would be great.

Thanks in hope lol.
[Atrix 4G General] night_51501:
I don't think it's possible for an app to "universally enable" this. I believe it would have to be implemented in the the actual game app.

Interesting idea though.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
hey all,

ive been a member for a while, but have never posted. i usually am always reading and trying to keep up with updates, and how to's... i am currently running liberated Aria FROO8 (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-Liberty), and have been for some time. i am nervous usually when it comes to rom updates, so i dont update constantly (if anyone has a great rom i should update to, please dont hesitate to shout it out). the problem was when i decided to update to Clockworkmod recovery 3.2 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1003723

now, my computer does not recognize my phone, and will only charge the phone. i have tried to reinstall unrevoked, but when i go through the steps, my device manager or registers it as My Htc, and i cannot update using the drivers i downloaded. it seems that its the computer not accepting the phone and not the phone restricting anything. please, please, can someone help, i need to be able to access my phone on my computer, and i have read all 33 pages of the forum thread i linked above. what do i need to do? is there a way to uninstall the recovery 3.2? if i were to upgrade to a new ROM, would the computer still not recognize the computer. i realize as well, after the fact, that i installed the recovery meant for the Desire.

how can i get my computer to recognize this Aria without having to reboot everything and try to start from scratch, does anyone know if i need to reinstall CWM and which one would work for me. when i plugged my phone after install, its states that device driver not installed correctly. then when i run through the instructions loacated here:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

and here:

http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install

and neither load a correct driver onto my computer, my computer does not register it as Other Device/Android 1.0, it registers it as My Htc.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

i would say use the 2.1 (NOT 2.2) RUU update to return to stock and re-run unrevoked

1st link 404s(page not found)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
is there also a way to delete the CWM 3.2 i installed on the computer, i cant seem to find it anywhere, where would it be. thanks for the quick reply, there was no link though to the 2.1.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drowningchild:
i dont understand how a newer version of CWM was installed without s-off

how did you flash it?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Try turning your phone completely off, then using volume down + power to turn it on, and then select FASTBOOT from the HBOOT menu. Leave your phone on this screen.

Then run the 2.1 RUU. You can download it from here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9D9NGT6J

You are going to lose your ROM settings when you do this because this reverts your phone to stock. Then you can run Unrevoked again.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
thanks a million! i noticed that when i fastbooted, that the computer registered a usb plug, but that was the only time it ever did, thats why i figured the problem was on the computer side, when i tried to install the 3.2 CWM for the Desire.

i followed the instructions on the page to update the CWM to 3.2. Like a moron, i skipped turning the S-Off. so when i installed it through fastboot, like it said, the phone rebooted, but the computer could not identify the phone, and so that left me with a phone that couldnt load into the computer. i also noticed, when i tried to run Clockwork Recovery through Ubuntu, i couldnt find that either. does anyone have the link to loading through Ubuntu?

two questions...does have a ROM that you recommend, the one i had seemed to work great for me, even though its a 2.2. but i cant seem to find a link for it. does anyone know where i can find it, or one better? i loved what i was using but now not sure which to choose, since soo many have been released since i originally downloaded it. thanks again for everyones help.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
the problem was with my phone and not my computer...i should have known. when i loaded 3.2 i figured that it had to be the computer since i loaded 3.2 through the computer. stupid me. normally im pretty cautious about just downloading, but i noticed that my clockworkmod had never updated from 2.5.0.7 and i saw that there were alot of them. but ill tell ya i loved the ROM I was using. just cant find it.

For future reference, just leave your recovery version alone. Versions 3.0 and higher are actually not compatible with FR008, which doesn't sound like something you want, does it? :P

The ROM you've been using (FR008) is available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819715

There is also another somewhat newer version of Sense Froyo that is based off the the official AT&T 2.2.2 release (whereas FR008 is based on the global 2.2.0 release). The differences are minor but you can try it out and see what you think: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970272 (Skip all the way down to the bottom of the first post for the most recent version.)

no that does not...thanks for everything! i am clearly a novice, and should be more careful. and thanks for letting me know of the Sense 2.2.2. i think i might give that a shot. that seems to be a much smarter risk than just downloading an update i cant use, only to satisfy my hunger to update something. thanks again. to everyone

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
so i went ahead and tried to run the factory fastboot in Hboot but the computer never recognized that anything was plugged into the usb port. My phone only charges now when plugged into the computer, even in Hboot. Hboot recognizes that the usb is plugged in, but my computer does not recognize anything, so i was unable to reset it to factory Rom, nor use the Ubuntu unrevoked, and when i tried to install the US att 2.2.2 ROM, it installed, but still the computer did not recognize any phone. am i screwed?

How do i turn off the Eng S-On in Hboot? and is there a way to find where the CWM 3.2 installed into to get it off my computer, because it seems the computer wont let the phone be recognized? When Hboot loads i receive the screen first picture that i loaded, then it goes to the HBoot menu screen, then when i plug in the usb, it changes to Hboot Usb, then i choose Fastboot which is the next screen, the final screens are what my computer registers the phone, and what drivers are installed said item. what can i do???????

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Try installing HTC Sync (leave it installed but don't have it open) before you run the RUU.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
so i reinstalled HTC Sync, and the computer did pick up the phone long enough to run the aria stock rom, but now when the phone rebooted and finished installing the rom, the computer no longer registered anything plugged in. so i wasnt able to run unrekovered or now anything else, as it seems the computer still hasnt found the phone, and i can no longer do a hboot recovery to a backed up rom. it definitely seems to be the computer. but now im kind of in limbo, cant reload a back up, and computer still cant pick up the usb phone. reinstalling the computer system to factory, to clear anything that the 3.2 CWM may have installed, and i guess also wipe the sd on the phone as well. is there anything that a CWM installs onto a sd card? computer?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Next you should uninstall HTC Sync (but do not uninstall the HTC drivers), and also install the HBOOT drivers by following these directions: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

After that, Unrevoked should work.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
i did all of that step by step, and when i plugged the usb in during Hboot installation it never showed up as other device\android 1.0 it showed up as Android\My HTC. after installing the specific driver as per instructions, it did change to Android bootloader interface, but problem is unrevoked, nor the computer are registering any phone being plugged in. the program wont run unless it has a phone connected to computer. is there something to the sd checking missing files screen i posted? and apparently recovery can no longer be obtained.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I don't know what you could have done as far as installing drivers on your computer. Perhaps you should try starting from scratch on another computer if you have access to one.

There is also an Ubuntu LiveCD method that might work for you. I assume it's mentioned somewhere in the Unrevoked thread.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sullylove:
thanks, i had tried the ubuntu live cd unrevoked install option, but since the computer never registers a phone plugged into the usb port, it wont install. damn...i dont have access to another computer. could it be something on the sd drive? plus, should the hboot Eng S-On be off?

sullylove
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I don't understand. How were you able to run the RUU if your phone won't show up on your computer?

As far as S-OFF, if you want to go that route you would have to use the recently released AlphaRevX beta. Unrevoked does NOT give you S-OFF.

Nothing on the SD card should matter, but feel free to wipe it if you want.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
Its been a while but don't you need USB debugging enabled to run unrevoked? Maybe check that?
