S-off

I through step2 with a hint from androidybloidy

While the RUU installation is proceeding it will fix the driver itself, the installation will stop giving you a connection error, don’t panic, just exit, restart your computer (keep your phone connected, DO NOT unplug it), then start the RUU again, it will proceed normally till the end.

but I have a new problem when S-Off.

I've just downgraded the hboot by making another goldcard. This time i used a Verbatim 2GB SD, and it worked very well!!

Could it be that SDHC doesn't work as goldcard?

Anyway, right now i'm watching my android skating all over the screen in the cyanogen boot sequence. Thank you all for your help in the forum!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Try Copy pasting the serial. There can be confusion between 0 and O, and l and I (small L and capital i, Zero and capital o). Also, I hope the serial you entered on the website was HT11FPY... (That number)

There are many cards which are finicky when you try to create goldcards of them. Its normal.

Downgrading the HBOOT, Unbranding

Hi, I have a Vodafone wildfire and would like to debrand it, can I just use the first part of this guide and the GoldCardTool to do this. Just some questions, will this void my warranty and would it remove the splash screen at start up, thanks.
[Wildfire General] rocker86:
Its just worked fine for me....Little bit problem arised but at the end successfully rooted and now using CM7.

One thing I want to know why Wi Fi scanning status is blinking all the time. Its unable to search any network(when Switched on). Is it lag of CM7 stable or else??. Pls suggest.

However my bluetooth was also not working but solved throght this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/21449-bluetooth-pairing-but-not-connecting/page__gopid__212038#entry212038[/url]

Does "Rom Manager Premium pak" will simplify this process ?
[Wildfire General] Humper.GFX:
The HBOOT downgrading file doesn't have a working mirror :/

EDIT: Had the right HBOOT already and at the moment the phone is loading to CM7
[Wildfire General] karanv2008:
have a doubt...pls help

I recently gained root over my wildfire using revolutionary ... now while this process I did a stupid thing that I didn't backup by stock rom... now I am running Cm7.0.3 stable (has some glitches) & I want to go back to stock Rom but I have some doubts

Suppose if I flash a ruu.exe of stock eclair will I loose my root & s-off ?

Simply put will my phone be deprived from flashing further Roms ?

*please ignore any spell errors...was typing from phone.

Thank u!!
[Wildfire General] karanv2008:
will this work....

The ruu which I used while rooting will work ?

I.e., RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_India_1.25.720.1_Radio_13.45.55. 24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe

If I flash the above ruu again will it be fine ....?

Please Rep

Thank u!
[Wildfire General] taqka:
can't even get started :mad:

Hi Guys, need some help. I must be doing something stupid cause I can't even get past the hboot downgrade stage.

I am using windows 7 and stage one seems to work OK. Files seem to get copied OK and I get a gold card placed in the the memory card. Stage two seems to work OK and I can see the ROM getting copied, but when the phone boots at the end of the process the HBOOT version is still 02. Any ideas/advice ?

Thanks

[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Has anyone found a decent keyboard/case combination within the Uk? I'd like something that has the keyboard built into a leather style flip case. I had one (bluetooth leather flip case) for my iPad which was superb but the Iconia is a little too long for it :(
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There are some on Amazon & Ebay, but people have reported in here that you need a USB hub to get the keyboard to work, which for me makes it useless. I don't want to have to lug around even more stuff!

The case also isn't a perfect fit.
[Acer Iconia A500] S.J.Onnie:
Hi,

No personal experience but you might like the keyboard/case combination on eBay (search for object ID 160610349685 - Sorry I am not allowed to post hyperlinks yet)

The link refers to the Dutch eBay but I'll bet you can find the same device on the UK site of eBay.

re Case/Keyboard

hi - i have ordered one so will let you know my thoughts once it arrives - not expecting to much but again it may okay for light use in the office and i will use my other case for normal wear and tear protection.
[Acer Iconia A500] depperly:
I own that case or something amazing close to it. The reports of needing a USB hub to get the keyboard to work are accurate. I ending up buying a L shaped 4 port hub, it sticks out of the case but allows me to have a mouse and a usb stick plugged in at the same time.

My hope is that once 3.1 drops I can loose the hub, but I am not holding out to much hope.
[Acer Iconia A500] TVDinner:
I believe you mean this one - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160612016080

does anyone actually own this one and can they report if it actually works, functionality, etc.

Thank you!
[Acer Iconia A500] wrocha:
i own one of this, i like the case a lot, it looks stylish and it's very good for note taking, i also use a bluetooth mouse for easy access, the keyboard is made for windows (it has windows key) and havent found a way to bind the back action with any key, most keys works as intended, even the menu key (next to alt gr), but it seems tha honeycomb is not made to be used with just keyboard, you need to use the touch screen or a mouse. the case weigth a little bit less as tablet, has 3 magnets (one for close, one to secure the back support, and other to hold the latch while you use it), overall i think its a great case for the tablet, would like a more "honeycomb" oriented keyboard like the acer official, but for most things this just works.

I use it with dexter's P1 Rom, cause i coudn't make it work with any other rom, no even P2, virtous or stock 3.01.

cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] TVDinner:
Thanks. I might try this one out. For $19 it is an inexpensive risk I think.
[Acer Iconia A500] skycop51:
this is cheap as I am finding keyboards for $69.00. why so cheap that always makes me flinch like it is not to be believed.
[Acer Iconia A500] skycop51:
what do you think...

just looks to dog gone cheap!
[Acer Iconia A500] alain57:
the only bad thing i see here, is that there is no protection for the screen, when you close the case, the screen is in contact with the keyboard. But the idea is good, transform the tab into something near the transformer from asus for 10 time cheaper ^^

can someone test it please
[Acer Iconia A500] TVDinner:
I have one on order. Should arrive this week sometime hopefully. Will report back on how it works with my Acer tablet
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisvane:
I've ordered one of these as well should do the job short term. Worth the money compared to what some of the other cases are charging. Now that 3.1 has been released hopefully we'll see a lot more bluetooth/keyboard case combinations for this tablet as it seems it 'wasn't completely compatible' with certain hardware prior to this update. Needless to say it worked fine with my wife's ipad 2 bluetooth case just unfortunate that i couldn't jam my iconia into one of them! I think if there's not a bluetooth keyboard/folio case combo available soon I'm going to buy a bunch of the bluetooth keyboards a bunch of the leather folio cases for the iconia and a big tube of superglue and start my own case company!!
[Acer Iconia A500] frankfurtjoe:
well the keyboard case i orderd arrived this morning, so it was a quick flash back out of the Galaxy ROM so i can plug the usb in. Using it to type this up.

sorry no photos but those in the advert are about correct, the only one missing is the kick stand.

The Case Quality is adequate, but considering what it costs then i can not expet too much. Stiching is okay and reasonably tidy, get the feeling it will fray though if rubbed a bit hard. USB cable is more than adequate. There are no cutouts for Camera, speakers etc but then i dont need that when i am using it as an office tool.

Drain on the battery for the USB power is noticeable but then i suspect that is the same for most plugins. Not too much of the plastic smell so that was okay.

The case closure is held in place with a small magnet, just about strong enough for the job. The kick stand is also held flat to the case when not in use by a magnet which is a nice touch. The angle of the screen with the stand is fine for me

The keys themselves give just enough play, Typing is for me okay as i dont have the largest hands in the world but if you are wide fingered then it may a little tight.

the right hand Shift and Enter keys a little to close for me, i keep hitting the Enter key by mistake. Obviously the function keys etc have no purpose.

The real problem lies in the fitting of the Acer into the case - the lugs that are supposed to hold it are about 3-5mm too large so the acer is very loose. it wont fall out forward or to the sides but as there is no lug on the top, turn the case around without the clasp closed and it will definitely be on the floor. i am sure i can find a remedy for this that would allow me use the case with a greater feeling of security.

on the whole a useable case if the security can be sorted for those needing to spend some time at the keyboard, but probably not your long term day in - day out case. Mine will probably end up on my desk and i will slip the acer in when i wnat to use it and back to something else for mormal use.

Hope that helps

ps. typed this in a notes program as i find the browser is very laggy when trying totype directly in to it.

[Acer Iconia A500] TVDinner:
GREAT FEEDBACK - thank you. I have the same one coming - should arrive next week.

For $19 - your review is very encouraging.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankfurtjoe:
To use it for any normal activity you Need to figure out a way of not letting it slip out of the top. Some of the material you use on the dashboard of the car to stop your phone etc slipping might well do the trick . Probably easier and cleaner than some other methods I might try. But if it is a slip in and type , slip it out and walk away use, then it meets that criteria faily well.

Let me know your thoughts when you get it

[Acer Iconia A500] TVDinner:
I think you will be really happy. I have been using mine constantly since it arrived. Makes using the tablet much easier and far quicker when typing. Really adds a lot to the overall unit as a whole.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Just received mine in the post. So far looks very nice but need to wait until I can get home so I can test it with my Iconia! Will post pics and thoughts later and a link to the product.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Here we go, the product I ordered from Amazon Uk

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004F3N4VK/ref=oss_product

It certainly isn't bad considering it's a generic case for Android tablets. The overall feel and quality is better than expected and performance so far is good. It feels durable and unlike other Faux Leather Cases it doesn't smell! The only thing I can say that let's it down (which is similar to an earlier post) is that it's not a snug fit so I have to be careful when closing the case or the Iconia drops forward onto the keyboard.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Looks like I got the exact same one as you did. Thanks for the previous advice, meant I was willing to take the plunge and get a generic one rather than waiting around for some kind of specific Iconia case :D
[Acer Iconia A500] TVDinner:
Yup - that is the same one. See if you can bend the tabs on the inside a little for a snugger fit. I was able to bend them just a little and the sides hold on a little firmer. And as I mentioned somewhere I have found a thick black rubber band that almost matches the case color. i always put it around the folio when i close it to make sure it can not slip out the latch side.

Finally, i put the black smudge cloth in between the screen and the keypad when I close it!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
That's the one thing I've not seen a lot of reports on... What's this case like in relation to the keys touching the screen when closed? I'd be gutted if I ended up marking my screen...

Any chance you could get some closeup pics of the sides of the case when closed, so we can see what kind of contact there is between the two?
[Acer Iconia A500] frankfurtjoe:
Okay - I painted my Keyboard with WhiteBoard Marker pens then closed it up as i would normaly, picked it up as if to carry to put the standard amount of pressure on the case. on opening there were a few areas that showed on the screen where the kyes had touched not as many as i had expected, this was directly where the keyboard was at it highest point where the usb cable is routed pit through the case. ( this is with my Cardboard inserts behind the Acer pushing it forward onto the Tabs.) If you close and hold it to the light and look at the sides you can see that on normal holding the keyboard seems to be away from the screen for the majority of the area.
[Desire General] Bearvius:
I've got rooted Desire loaded with RCMix S with Sense 3.0 which runs incredibly smooth. Unfortunately I managed to tear the volume button module from the main flex cable. A new one would come at ~70$, which makes me unsure as I've already spent money replacing the lcd and usb port.

I'm therefore considering Sensation, but wondering whether it'll be very different from my Desire which already runs Sense 3.0 (partly). Is it worth the upgrade?
[Desire General] olly230:
its 5mm wider and 5mm taller.

I love my desire to bits but my carrier will give me a sensation for free when its upgrade time...

dual core and full fat gingerbread...

WOuldn't know whether to keep my old desire as a backup or sell it. Whats the going rate for rooted Desire with stockBravo rom with a few bumps and scratches (not on the screen)?
[Desire General] vnvman:
Sensation's screen sux big time compared to the amoled the desire has. Also there is no custom rom support to date coz of the locked bootloader, and the phone itself is pawned badly hardware wise by any other dual out there: the ui lags in a horrid way and the gpu is not half as good as the one of a SGS (and i don't mean SGS II, i don't wanna be THAT unfair). I picked up one at a shop the other day and i was about to puke. Big NO NO if you ask me. Go for a SGS II if you can, or just wait for the new Nexus.
[Desire General] Jasand:
I disagree, I had hands on with a sensation before its release at the gadget show from a HTC rep who had a pre release hidden in his pocket. I loved it, even as a pre release it was super quick and felt like the perfect size. The video and camera capture was great and I immediately felt downgraded when using my desire a few moments later.

The sgs looks too much like the iPhone as well as the UI and there is no other phone on the market in my opinion that looks as good as the sensation or offers the UI anything close to sense.

Each to their own I suppose.

Your best bet is to get down to a phone store and have a play also read some accurate reviews and make up your own mind as my tastes may be different than yours.
[Desire General] nqk:
Yesterday I was in a shop and I tried this Sensation. I like the feel of it in my hand. But I still like the Desire as it does now fit my daily need. :D.
[Desire General] HiVoltage85:
I found you this:

www . parts4repair . com /products/HTC-Desire-A8181%7B47%7DA8180-Motherboard-Flex-Cable.html

(remove the spaces - sorry I'm new and cannot post URLs)

Including postage, it would cost you $52.63 ...

I think it's a shame throwing a Desire away - at least if you repair it you can sell it for much more than that (or keep it as a backup phone/toy)
[Desire General] HiVoltage85:
Here's a slightly cheaper one:

$51.97 including postage
[Desire General] Bearvius:
Thanks for the link!

Yeah, I would've never upgraded if it worked properly, as it fitted my needs more than adequately. Not sure if I'm fixing it, but I'm keeping it as a backup nevertheless.
[Desire General] poltak11:
It all depends on if you got the money for it, imo. There's not a huge reason to upgrade as you're running pretty much similar to what the Sensation will come with as stock (minus the whole "root")... but of course it'll be a bit more snappier with the updated specs and all, but is it worth the money?

It'd also help if you could sell your current Desire for a bit to help offset the expense a bit..
[Desire General] Bearvius:
Yes, that is exactly what I'm thinking. I tried it out today, but it didn't seem too much of an upgrade. Of course, it's faster but that's not what I solely want to pay for.

I also happened to try s2, and I must say that the screen was razor sharp! Very crisp. And it felt smoother too. So this one is a S2 for me, if I don't like I'll just trade it in with a sensation.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I've done exactly this. I won a Sensation and the screen is awesome. Sense 3.0 is SO much better on it than on the RCMix ROM (sorry Rob!)

Best thing I've done, bar it being a branded handset. But it was free so meh!!
[Desire General] OpusX11:
i like the sensation quite a bit too, but it bugs me that the bootloader is locked.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's really not a big deal that it's locked. I only rooted for 2 reasons:

1. To remove crap I didn't want

2. More space

Now the Sensation has more space I can don't need to root. Yes, I'd like to remove the apps I don't want but I can live with it. It's REALLY not an issue and people are making it out that HTC has raped a baby or something!!
