[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
Hello,

I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.

I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.

But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.

any help would be great :)

EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technolust109:
same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andjs:
This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.

I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.

Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technolust109:
okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out (:

cheers
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
Well I managed to get step2.bat to run in a cmd so that it stayed open,

it came up with "FAILED <remote: 42 custom id check fail>".

when HTC booted in to bootloader it still showed same h.boot (.0002)

Please see attached screenshot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technolust109:
Question!! / problem!!

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
what Beta key, I dont recall one?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Make sure you properly created a working gold card. Retry with gold card.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andjs:
If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technolust109:
yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
currently running windows so cannot download as windows version under review.

completed program and it had a pop up saying something like, "success, you now have a gold key"....
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieftm:
in other words, your goldcard is not created correctly.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
done it twice and it still come up with success message?

even did it through hex editor....
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
I tried to do it again to show screenshots.

firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg

I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg

I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?

image2.jpg

when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.

And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.

You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage

then click refresh and the memory card will be available.

HTC MMC : select you sd card.

And now patch.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
right, got an update.

managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt :)

We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?

we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.

please see screenshot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyyey:
its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.

Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyteenster:
same goes with me please help !!!

:(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennBrownie:
Try running commands step by step, right click the step(number) file and click "edit" to view each step.

Then run these through cmd and see if can get the error message.....
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleshek:
I had the same problem.

You have NOT correctly created goldcard. For 100% function goldcard you have to use HxD editor.

BR, aleshek

if that dont work than re partition your sd card 128mb~swap 1024mb~ext4 try again...

and if that dont work.. flash the fr-remove file, do superwipe..reboot to recovery and try 1 more time :D it should work i promise!!!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rickyq12:
I have an HTC Hero(rooted) and my wife has the Samsung Epic 4G(rooted). I have tested both phones with the same WIFI Tethering app and the Galaxy Tab recognizes and connects to my wife's phone...internet wifi works just fine.

When I test it on my HERO...the Tab will not recognize the HERO at all. I know that this works just fine with my laptop. I've tried the wireless tethering app and still no luck.

I have the wireless tether app V. 2.0.7 and the WiFi tethering app V. 3.0...no luck on neither one of them. Wondering why it works fine with my wife's phone and not mine. There was no need to modify anything on the Tab for it to recognize the Epic...but no luck on the Hero.

Any ideas????

I know it can be done.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
Search this forum and the Development Forum for Ad-hoc Network support.

The gist is this - your phone (and most older phones) only provides an Ad-Hoc network to tether. The galaxy tab requires infrastructure mode to tether and will require a few fixes that are provided in a thread in the development section to work with Ad-hoc networks.

The Epic will provide infrastructure mode which is why it works and the Hero does not.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jaydawgx7:
The issue is most likely that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not see/connect to Ad hoc networks, which is probably what your phone is broadcasting. If your Tab is rooted. Check out the link below. I followed the directions from the first post and am not able to tether to my iPhone (had the same issue as you prior).

A simpler solution is to use the latest experimental version (3.x) of android-wifi-tether on your phone:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rickyq12:
Thanks for the advice man...I'll take a look at it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rickyq12:
My tab is not rooted yet, but I will do soon enough. Just a little afraid to do so right now. I've rooted quite a few phones so I'm confortable doing that. Just need to read a little more on how to root the tab. I'll take a look at the link you provided and hopefully I can get this thing to work.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rickyq12:
That's what I thought as well, but my Tab will not recognize my HTC Hero(yes it's an old phone) but my laptop recognizes it with no issue. Hero and Epic 4G have the same wifi tethering app and Epic connects with no problem, but my hero will not. Damn, I want this thing to work. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] newims2000:
I have the same problem with Samsung Infuse Phone rooted and had Wifi tethering working fine with my laptop, but not Galaxy Tab 10.1. GT 10.1 didn't even see the SSID of the Samsung Infuse. Not sure what is the problem with SGT 10.1 wifi.

After doing this WPA supplicant zip thing...will this effect my wifi network(at home) in any way?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tghockey07:
That's exactly what my Droid was doing. The new build of wifi tether didn't work for me either. Changing the wpasupplicant (I think that's what its called) fixed it instantly and now my tab can see all ad hockey networks like my phone and printer!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rickyq12:
Gonna have to change the WPASupplicant, just thought something was wrong with my Tab. I need to take care of this. Thanks

Hello,

I'm currently on MIUI MCGV 7.7 Rom with NEO 08 kernal (its based on MIUI 1.6.17).

Now I saw Gallant issued a new series of the Roms to MIUI (not MCG).

I want to upgrade to the new MIUI-Gallant Rom v2.2 from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134583 and in this thread it says that Neo 10 kernal added.

Now my qustion is : can I upgrade to the new rom just by format wipe and system and then install the rom from recovey?

And if do it will i have the kernal Neo 10?

I hope I am in the right place.

I have tried searching but could not find a topic to match what I'm after.

Does anyone know of a way to get a satellite views with GPS support for use offline? Ideally I could do with GPX (routes/tracks) file support as well.

As far as I know google earth is only available for android and does not have offline cacheing - I would have to make my phone dual boot as well (I need windows for some things)

I have tried J2ME for google maps but cannot scroll and I don't think can use gpx routes.

To make it clear what I'd like is to view my current position on a satellite map with a route (gpx file) shown on there as well. I need to be able to do this without access to a phone network.

It's a shame I can't just run google earth from my HD2 since that's exactly what I'm after.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] quserdy:
Hi mate,

how to run google earth without network access?? this wont work on your pc either.

but maybe this is helpful for you:

i recently discovered that google maps on winmo is capable to display .kmz/kml files. these are google earth exports with e.g. a track.

if you just need to display a small area, load the track in google maps. on next start up your last loaded "picture" is cached and therefore u dont need network access. otherwise if u want to navigate you should get something proper like tt or igo.

edit: this should be your match: http://www.gps-mate.de/de/produkte/GPS-Mate/beschreibung.php (using osm)

You can run Ubuntu on a rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 and run a full Ubuntu desktop by connecting your bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

This is "chrooted" on top of your Android, meaning it runs like a virtual machine in the background, you can switch back and forth between Android and Ubuntu however you want.

When you turn your Tab 10.1 power off, you will have to restart Ubuntu though.

It's a bit laggy but not that much slower than my Atrix 4G webtop. I wouldn't use it for web browsing but the shell is very usable, you can install OpenSSH and other stuff you can play with.

Might be a fun mod for those of you running Ubuntu desktop already.

It runs pretty well on the Tegra I would say but the screen resolution is awesome!

My next goal is to put Wordpress blog running on the device, having trouble installing MySQL on the Ubuntu, if any Ubuntu experts out there, let me know if you figure out how to install MySQL, that's the only thing holding me back.

Can't wait until next year when 2Ghz dual-core tablets hit, then it will run really, really fast.

Yes, just delete the whole ubuntu zip folder from your tab 10.1 or if you reboot the ubuntu never starts up.
