[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
Alright, I know. It's here somewhere, but Google, and the search here aren't cutting it. I am on the old cm7(Emmc) with the old kernel, and I want to update to a newer nightly build. How do I go about doing it? I am afraid to flash a new nightly because of the kernel. Does it flash with the new build? I am running smooth now, but wanna try out the working USB. Thanks......
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painter_:
Just do a nandroid, flash the latest nightly, clear the caches. you are good to go. the nightly contains the new uboot and kernel.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimbo67:
Make sure you also flash the latest 6/13 gapps after you flash the latest nightly. ;)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzibit17:
Im also going to update from nightly 87, .29 kernel and 1.1 uboot. I want to install nightly 117 or 118. I know the new uboot gets flash automatically. So just to clarify steps. First install nightly then kernel 6/30, gapps. Clean cache, wipe dalvik. Correct?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autumnmist:
What about updating Clockwork Recovery? I've seen some people talking about it -- is it actually necessary?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattire:
Use Rom Manager to update clockwork to the latest. Can also use it for flashing nightlies... or RC1.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
if you wish to check out usb hosting, you'll need to flash dal's new kernel 6/30 and his awesome app nook color tweaks :)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownswing:
Hi, I am a newbie here. I have a T-Mobile USA galaxy tab . I am wondering if I flash 2.3.3 rom, does 3g still work?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seamus1:
It would depend on a rom-per-rom basis. I would imagine that many, if not most, would work fine. Read over the entire post of which ever rom you are interested in using, it should state whether or not 3g works. I'm no engineer, but I really don't think the firmware version would matter. It depends on the modem you use.

Dude, please try and use some common sense, We have a dedicated Q&A/General forum. This is the development section for posting dev work not the newbie help desk.

[Milestone XT720 General] Bryannxx:
i was downloading the game Samurai Vengeance II, but when was installing, an error : " Unknown Error - 18" came out. Any ideas whats this error??
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
I had that issue a few times when downloading games on 2.2. ROMs. The simple fix is to unmount your sd card, download the app and then remount after. There is a more complicated way to fix the issue altogether I think.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
It is a well known error with froyo. Connect your phone to computer in usb-mass storage mode. Make sure you computet can see the hidden files. Open your sdcard and open the .androidsecure folder (the period before the folder means it is hidden). Look for a file listed smnn...something, it is the only file in there that would look out of place. Delete it and unmount from your computer. Then redownload and it should install. Google unknown error 18 and it will give you the specific file name. Been awhile since I had to do that, so I can't remember it exactly.
[Milestone XT720 General] Bryannxx:
Thanks alot bro! gonna try it now.
[Milestone XT720 General] Bryannxx:
Wood: is it this file? smdl2tmp1.asec
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Yep. Delete that and you are good to go. If you flash a new rom or move in and out of your backups and are using native Froyo app2sd, it will come back and you'll have to delete it again.

What rom are you running? If it is one of Kahl's, then you can use Link2sd or app2ext and avoid that problem completely.
[Milestone XT720 General] Bryannxx:
yep, on Khal's MIUI final_v2...ok thanks!!

hello forum,

i wonder if there is WP7 APIs that are able to communicate with the host via the USB connection. i wish to write an WP7 app that can exchange data in realtime with an app running in the host PC.

thanks !

- lt
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 574ND410N3:
you can use network connection over usb to communicate between your pc and your wp7

just run WPConnect (i dont remember now if it is also possible with Zune)

the IP of your PC will be 192.168.55.100

and the IP of your WP7 will be 192.168.55.101

but you can only call a service from your WP7 (atm its not possible to run WP7 as a server)

so just create a service on your PC and use it from your WP7

mango is going to allow socket programming.. so this would be the better solution

[HTC Sensation] 0mega1:
I have a Non-Retail VERY early IMEI "Smartmock" that has an hboot with the topline saying this

"PYRAMID PVT MFG RH"

HBoot version is 1.19.1000

Phone is a non-complete model, does not have a camera, functional touch panel (MIssing firmware, I'm sure I could get it working. ) or speakers/microphones

Just figured i'd offer the hboot up on a platter incase anyone wanted it, seeing as it's been a real fight for you guys.

IMEI is listed as 355195000000010 (Yeah, that pre-release. )

Let me know if it's useful in any way shape or form. (I'd ship the phone to someone awesome, but it's not mine to give, I do however have ample time to rip files from this well crafted fake ;) )
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
dump everything ill take a look
[HTC Sensation] chchang1:
How did you get it? Maybe ship to a experienced dev.
[HTC Sensation] 0mega1:
Quick guide link? I haven't owned an HTC since my OG Dream ;)

I can walk through odin blindfolded but I haven't used fastboot in forevar.
[HTC Sensation] 0mega1:
It's a smartmock, intended to be used for displaying the phone without putting a 600 dollar asset at risk (It's literally the entire phone, except vibe motor, earphone, simcard slot (modem is intact and has firmware) and microphones. (Blank solder points for all above. )
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
1. Download adb zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97) and extract to c:\

2. Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the adb folder cd c:\adb

3. "adb devices" <- Is your device detected? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in.. (sync mode)

4. "adb push busybox /data/local/busybox

5. "adb shell"

6. "cd /sdcard/"

7. "chmod 755 /data/local/busybox" (something like that)

8. "/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system"

10 when it's finished, you will have a normal error like 'tar: error exit delayed from previous errors'.

11. Finally check the root of your SD card, you will find a dump.tar file

12. Upload to multiupload and post link or pm it to me
[HTC Sensation] t3project:
what update format is it in?

EDIT: nevermind, seen the post above

Oh, you dumped the /system. Any chance for the hboot?
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
Wow. 480mb whyyyyyyy ?
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Use the following to dump the hboot:

adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img

Then obviously upload hboot.img from the root of your sdcard.

[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Hm, the Hboot is.. 1.19.1000.. weird how the numbers are higher than the regular ones we have.. i highly doubt we could flash this using the RUU, but its worth a shot i guess.. maybe we could update to this HBOOT, hopefully they didnt sign anything so we could do a straight update to the ENG bootloader..
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Is it worth also checking for the smart_io.crd on the sdcard, if there is an sdcard? You never know... but i doubt it.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Hell yes its worth it, seeing as this is a retail device, it may be there if they got careless about it. OP please check for the SMART_IO.crd file on your sensation's SDcard.

OP when you sign on, check and see if you have a SMART_IO.crd, which you should have, and dump the HBOOT. if its signed, we should be able to go to the ENG bootloader from that hboot with ease.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
what the news... my FRIEND
[HTC Sensation] :
so... he did a system dump but didn't include the hboot? is that it?

dammm man its the same bootloader.. what a lame htc blocked the fastboot commands
[HTC Sensation] ionballer:
With the tar file can't we use Odin to flash it? It may go to the incomplete Rom but wouldn't it have a achieve soff? Than after that flash a complete Rom ?
[HTC Sensation] MLIGN:
I don't think Odin is used for HTC phones.
[HTC Sensation] ionballer:
Oh okay. Just a idea. I'm guessing its only for samsucks
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
no options here ? :(

we all have s-on :(

we need temp root ? to put it soff ? and flash this hboot ?
[HTC Sensation] drewtang:
We need root before this will be useful. Once we have root, we can flash s-off bootloaders(theoretically).
[HTC Sensation] Honestly77:
That's actually not true. Root doesnt just allow access to the bootloader. Root is so you have full control over your running system. It's like admin for windows and we have a guest account. I may be wrong on root = s-off but I've had many android phones and rooted ones didn't always have s-off availabe.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Root are some files and the superuser apk in the rom but the word Root is grown with its time! It mostly describe the ability to edit the data partiton at bootet android and have an custom recovery installed (but the orginal hboot)

Root is the access to the data partition (and myabe other [not system]) at bootet up Android. this root can be an exploit to the recovery or something else.... Its just called root mostly its just an exploit to put root on the phone ^^ its very complicated to explain just remember

-exploit

-temp root

-root

-maybe soff (ENG Hboot)

root NEVER give the abbillity to flash an hboot but its open the way for it :p

On new phones like the Sensation Root (or first time temp root to s off it) is mostly an very unstable exploit... they wrote it! Theire phone crashed several times but they have the abbility to put the root files on the phone at this time after this we are able to change the hboot if we have a hacked or leaked hboot and are able to flash it over the existing one ... we should be able to do this with root :p But on new phones there have to be a new exploit found but i think this barrier is very easy because we have an eng hboot and it should be the same way as the INcredible s do it .... after temp root we are good to go further ;-)

Root if a huge Word

S off is the ability to flash all partitions without finding an exploit for it ;-) <- short answer^^
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
There is the problem i think, it's trying to get signatures that obviously don't exist on the stock Sensation.

Since i know very little about building apps, i'm not sure if removing the following reference "android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system"" from the AndroidManifest.xml file will stop the application from working or allow it to bypass the signature check:

<manifest android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" android:versionCode="4070248" android:versionName="@string/ap_version_id" package="com.htc.android.ssdtest"

If it does someone just needs to rebuild the application, i think. If anyone knows about decompiling and rebuilding apk's then see if you can fix it for us.
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
We have temp root and also an engineering bootloader, usually this is where we all rejoice because we could then overwrite NOT flash the custom recovery and then flash the hboot. However, the nand is signed also, requiring extra steps in order to get s-off. Unfortunately.....
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
So, downloaded a US TMO version of the RUU, the RUU unpacks a ROM.zip in a temp folder. Any idea if we replace the hboot inside, we can continue running the RUU and it flash the new hboot?
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
If you tamper with the file, the signature will no longer be valid and will not flash.

[HTC Sensation] ranmasaotome510:
speaking of these well crafted fakes, i have access to alot of them, and can send them to anyone who would like to work there magic to get the touchpanel to work, it looks like these devices with 1.19.1000 hboots are s-off in nature as i was successfully able to flash the cwm recovery no problem, and even downgrading the hboot to a eng fastboot one, 1.17. but in doing so i think i may have semi bricked it, boots into hboot fine still, but flashing roms now leaves it stuck on the HTC screen. Befor when i had 1.19.1000 i could flash any rom, but i couldnt do anything cause the touch panel wasent responsive.

So who should i send one to who can figure this shiznit out?

altho its my fault for not making a backup, Geez. Can we share backups i wonder?
[HTC Sensation] ranmasaotome510:
well actually nvm yay, i flash back to 1.19.1000 on my dummy phone. now to see if i can boot into roms again
