[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Sorry for the noob question, I have been reading the forums for 2 days now and can't seem to locate the exact method of getting into fastboot or Recovery from the handset, I have been using ADB. I have S lock off and I am rooted, I have CWM installed, backed up my stock settup with Nandroid but would love to know how to access fastoot and recovery without ADB for the times I am not at my pc and may need to access recovery. This is my first HTC device so the flashing process and the filesystem are very different from Samsung. I am reading and learning and the guides have been great, but not knowing how to access recovery from the handset is bugging me. If someone can post a link or explain the process to me I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Go to settings, power, and turn fastboot off. Turn the phone off, wait for it to completely power down, and then hold the volume down button and hold the power button (first hold volume down, and while still holding that hold the power button). It can take several seconds.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Thank you for your reply. I was just coming here to update it to solved, I finally found a thread with the process outlined clearly.

I hit your thanks button.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
if your good with adb (seems like u are)... you can type the commands

adb reboot bootloader

this will get you to fastboot

Hey guys. I am a huge fan of Sense UI and I would like to complete my theme with a scrolling dockbar with working indicator. I downloaded the stock Desire HD rom from this site, and after diging around, I found the blank dock used, the indicator, and a file called scrollbar.xml

I'd imagine this is sense-dependant, but is it possible to somehow port it to launcher pro sense ui? I will attach all of the files into one zip for you guys.

I found the file by unzipping the rom, and this is the path to where I found the files:

Please if anyone can help me, this has been bothering me for ages.

I think we need to sticky/pin this for us who just flash the stock/leaked GB 2.3.3 along with the optional root from this thread since we can't post there http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249

Since this is the route that I went I would be able to help answer questions for others. I see cognition, mosaic.... but how about us who like to keep it stock?

Brickster

Just want to say that I have learned so much on here and I have a lot of fun trying out different ROMs. Thanks to all the DEVs, when I get a job I'll buy you guys some beers lol.

So... This has soft bricked my phone every single time. The first 4 attempts were from stock eclair. My last attempt I was successfully running Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE so I thought I would try it from there. Odin gets to boot.bin and then says FAIL! I got into download mode using VOL DWN and PWR which is the key combination from Stock I9000 2.3.3 NEE. I have been running I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 to flash back to stock after brickness.

So i'm sure i'm missing something pretty simple, but any help is appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Woah dude, that was very very very close to being a hard brick. Boot.bin is the primitive bootloader. so you had a kf1 pbl, and since you had the combos for I9k boots you obviously had an I9000 sbl, (secondary bootloader that's where the combos are contained.)

Make sure the usb chord is on a port attached to the motherboard (in the back of the pc), if it is already switch to another. Reboot the computer and try again.

But with such a close call like that, and the fact that you said it fails every time I would avoid it altogether I mean its a stock rom, is it worth bricking over??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttr187:
Well, I really wanted to try the Cognition 5 v2 ROM. Instructions say to be on Samsung Gingerbread. So that's why I tried so many times and I am really more curious to find out why it's not working than I am worried about it bricking.

I was on a port directly on the motherboard Odin displayed as com10.

I was thinking that maybe it is my computer since most have success with this 1-click. I forget sometimes I'm running a 64-bit version of Windows 7 maybe that's the culprit. Is there anything I can check on my computer to keep this from happening again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popfan:
Use admin mode for Odin and change the compatiblity to Xp service pack 2. This is the best way to run Odin for Windows 7 x 64. Since I use Cog 5 v2, I strongly recommend following the instructions 100%. Please remember when you need to loading stock UCKF1 and when you load UCKF1, you are loading bootloaders, so any disconnection can brick you hard. Thank goodness for the simplified instructions there.

Hello. I use Darky's rom 10.2. And I have problem with Dialer. It sometimes crushes and exits. Problem will be solved with reboot. how can I fix it? thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttr187:
I would try to flash again and make sure you do a data/cache wipe. I've had random issues with other ROMs when I did not wipe, and all was fixed once I flashed properly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzbeque:
I know I'm not wiping everything while flashing, but I flash it as told as in FAQ. But my memory will stay unwiped after I run newly installed ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
When you say "memory" what exactly do you mean?

If you mean the /sdcard storage partition, that is normal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzbeque:
yes, /sdcard storage partition.

Before flashing, I get warning message about wiping all data in my internal storage... what does it mean then?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
The /data and /cache partitions. And the dalvik cache.

The first 2 are in the cwm main menu. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Dalvik is in the advanced sub menu.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griff1220:
When i flash this, my phone asks me for a password. It won't let me do anything without the password and I have no idea what it is. I've tried samfirmware.com and that most certainly is not it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
It appears to be asking for some encryption password according to one of these guys that posted in the following thread. But there is a way to get past it by the method in this thread...http://xdaforums.com/show...02&postcount=7

Remove ur external sd and copy over/back up anything u want to save from ur internal sd before u do this, just in case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzbeque:
data/chache wipe i should do right after flashing right?

There are plenty of devs to keep cynogenmod on our phones.. I think this its going to mean great things from the company that cranks out bleeding edge hardware.. Its great to see a phone maker supporting the dev community. I hope to see cynogen on a samsung out of the box.

[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
You really think the American carriers would be willing to let that happen? International variant is one thing, but we're talking about the same ones that removed the front camrea, cut down the amount of internal storage, and forced bing down our throat. I'm skeptical of whether Samsung has suddenly turned over a new leaf.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
what is your problem? Samsung can do whatever they want, and carriers will always try and scscrew with phones. people always expect so much out of things like this. the only thing that will likely come of this is that touchwiz and new phones will maybe get some neat features and performance things, and that's a maybe. they probably won't put cyanogenmod on out of the box phones, not because of some evil carrier conspiracy but because manufacturers all have their own special interfaces and things. Samsung has touchwiz and I doubt that will change.

[Android Software Development] mooney101:
What works and doesn't work for each ROM. I really appreciate all the hard work everyone does on these roms but It drives me nuts to install a rom only to find out later the something important like Hdmi or 4G doesn't work. The worst part is that the things that don't work are not listed in the main rom page and instead hidden later on page 200 in a thread. PLEASE list what doesn't work in a rom so those of us who need everything to work know that everything really does. I just think that there should be a standard "does not work section" on every rom. Thank you

Please make your own ROM if you think it is an issue. These developers are out there creating AMAZING and FREE products for us to use. If you don't want to put the time in to research a ROM and its thread, you shouldn't be flashing anything. The only thing that the ROM thread is supposed to be used for is pointing out bugs that were not caught in testing. I suggest you find a thread on how to unroot, and use the "bug free" stock ROM that came with your phone.
[Android Software Development] mooney101:
I'm not saying I don't appreciate anyone's work I just wish if you know your rom breaks Hdmi or something obvious why can't you just list it on the main post.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
So I ordered a new, sealed I9020A from eBay. Arrived today (I'm out of town) and my wife took a photo of the box. It's a model GT-I9020FSRRWC, which is a Canadian variant of the Nexus S with compatible US 3G bands (AT&T). Here is my question:

I have had several I9020A's in the past here in the US. All had horribly slow 3G data and I returned all three of them because of this. Now, I know that Best Buy is subsidizing an I9020A variant for AT&T, making the model "sanctioned" on AT&T. I have to believe the radio & firmware for that model works seamlessly with AT&T's network (which the Canadian I9020A's don't). I know I can flash the radio from KB1 to KB3 or something similar, but would applying the firmware for the following make it identical to what Best Buy is selling as the official AT&T variant?

GTJ61 - Android 2.3.4, the original Nexus S firmware for the US version of I9020A.

From here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664

Basically, I want the identical firmware and radio as the units sold for AT&T by Best Buy on my Canadian device because I don't want to deal with any network funkiness. It's maddeningly frustrating...

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
I've tried the new AT&T modem, it's still speed hobbled. For some reason, all modems that come with the i9020a have a capped transfer rate. I've flashed the KB3 radio from the i9020T series and i can now easily reach over 2 megs on the upload.

the KB3 modem also deadens the search button bug a lot.

What version of android and hoot?

What OS on computer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Va2.0:
its highly recommend to run unrevoked under linux (ubuntu)...windows is soo buggy..(ive tried it 3 hours without success...under linux it took 3 seconds!)

also always check the md5 checksum of any files you will flash on your phone.

and of course always take the newest version of unrevoked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Not true.

Rooted 3 phones under windows 7 without issues and fast. (just a note: 3 sec under linux is ridiculous)

But some people are too lazy to read and set up the program for windows correctly :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Va2.0:
i did not say its impossible. But its very inconvenient, needs much longer cause of the driver install, install the htc sync, delete it again, install the modyfied USB driver etc..

Under linux no prob...boot linux, plug your device on, rund Unrevoked and wait 3 secs...done

btw how often can you sync your phone with htc sync under win7 without an reboot of your pc? This works only 1 time and then Htc Sync finds no device again. Don't misunderstood me, i am a fan of Windows but in some points its just to buggy.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
I never used HTC sync. It waqs never installed, because unrevoked does not needs it (there is the modified USB driver) + I use google sync.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
As far as I know, unrevoked (not revolutionary) needs hboot funders plus htc sync drivers (but not the software, because unrevoked does not work then).

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDaiX:
As far as I can remember unrevoked needs modified hboot drivers provided on their site. Even then it wouldn't detect my phone. In ubuntu it was a breeze.

The drivers installed by HTC sync are for adb as they differ from manufacture to manufacturer or even phone model, therefore Google don't include them.

HTC should offer them as a separate download instead of requiring you to install HTC sync, which although installed the drivers for me, HTC sync itself never worked

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried Wifi Tether or similar apps with the new gingerbread stock Rom.

I didn't have much luck with Wifi Tether on froyo (had some issues), so I haven't used anything other than PdaNet, but I don't really like PdaNet because it's a little too much (like having to install application on a computer, etc).

If you know anything good, please let me know.

Thank you,

GT
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Root your phone and install a custom gingerbread rom. You won't have to worry about wifi tether not working.

Off topic: this is like the third thread I've seen been created asking the same question. Is there something in the water?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
FYI, I did perform search, which did not bring up anything specific to gingerbread and wifi tether.

Also, your suggestion is only "one of many" options that my thread is designed to ask. If you are going to be obnoxious, please don't bother replying in the first place.

Theres one.

but back on topic let me look for an app for you
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
No. That's a guy saying his default wifi tethering option is not working for his stock ROM. It is not the same thing.

My thread, if you read carefully, is meant to be where people can share different apps and experiences on gingerbread regarding various tethering options.

I am not a moron. I can read. I will not double-post or do noob stuff like that. I can imagine how many people here are annoyed by that occurrence, but let's not be so quick to jump to that conclusion?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
"Hi everyone,

So far I haven't found any fix for the WIFI tethering or an app available in the Android market that will bypass that."

If you read that thread you would of seen that
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Right, because just one person's word is absolute and everything, right? And, only market apps are our options, right? Not to mention, that comment posted by that person still doesn't change what that thread is about. In most forums, posting a different topic under a specific topic is considered hijacking. Furthermore, when you do a search, you can't possibly be expecting people to read every single post under every thread that shows up in search. Maybe that's how you do your search, which is both unrealistically impressive and unusual, but most of us do search in a normal way. We read the search results, which are often just the thread titles and a few posts.

If you are in this forum, you should know better than that. Before you make a post like this, you might wanna think a bit harder.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
first quit it with the attitude. Nobody giving you attitude so drop it and you can google it but nobody found one yet maybe att made sure we can't with the ROM
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Ok guys wuusssaaa. Being rude will get you nowhere.

Now as for tethering there may be away around it but it going to be short lived as ATT finds more ways to tell if you are tethering and blocks it. I am one that if you want to tether then grab the plan to do it. We have already seen what happens when data is abused. We get teired and next we will be throttled.

So let's all just get along and chill.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
It helps to not confuse wanting to use the hotspot feature and wanting to tether with a USB cable. The hot spot feature requires using a custom apn if you are not going to pay for it. Then AT&T can see all that data passing thru "wap.cingular", instead of "phone" like it should. When tethering using a USB cable, you can use the stock "phone" apn, so data useage properly shows on the account. In the past, with Froyo, I did test out PDA Net, and it worked great with the stock apn. Since I have no need to tether, I haven't used it since and I haven't tested it with Gingerbread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
I will if you quit. I am not the one with attitude. People usually do not appreciate unhelpful responses to a thread they made, especially if they are based on presumptions against the poster's ability to use the forum. I asked nicely for you guys to be more careful before making the kind of posts you made. You did not listen and instead kept pushing. Not my fault.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
I've read threads about those, but it seems that it only applies to people who "abuse" it as you stated. So, this isn't really a reason for all users to give up on other tethering options.

For example, in the past 2 years, I've only used tethering twice, both on occasions when I traveled to a place without wifi. It is not reasonable to pay that over-priced tethering plan for rare use of this feature.

I also doubt that AT&T will be able to catch all tethering use on all of their customers. Obvious cases with excess abuse make sense, but not rare and low use, like mine. I read somewhere that Verizon began policing tethering use on their customers on gingerbread, but even then some users reported they were able to get around it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Thank you, fernandezhjr. That's an excellent point and helpful.

If that's what makes the difference, I wonder if it is possible to write an app that can create a wifi spot using the stock apn. It doesn't sound too difficult to do, but maybe I'm wrong.

I also wonder if tethering via bluetooth makes any difference too?
