[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
Now that you're EVO 3D is rooted, you want to keep it that way!

It wouldn't be a bad idea for ROM devs to build these changes into their ROMs to prevent someone new or unfamiliar with rooting from losing their root!

This guide will show you some things you can do to prevent accidental taking of an OTA.

STEP 1. The easiest step ANYONE can and should do.

Navigate to Menu/Settings/System Updates/HTC Software Update/Scheduled check, and uncheck it.

STEP 2. Remove or comment out the following FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) URLs from build.prop

# For FOTA setting (leave empty value to use default)
ro.htc.checkin.url = http://andchin.htc.com/android/checkin
ro.htc.checkin.crashurl = http://andchin.htc.com/android/crash
ro.htc.checkin.url_CN = http://andchin.htccomm.com.cn/android/checkin
ro.htc.checkin.crashurl_CN = http://andchin.htccomm.com.cn/android/crash
ro.htc.checkin.exmsg.url = http://fotamsg.htc.com/android/extra/
ro.htc.checkin.exmsg.url_CN = http://fotamsg.htccomm.com.cn/android/extra/
ro.htc.appupdate.url = http://apu-chin.htc.com/check-in/rws/and-app/update
ro.htc.appupdate.url_CN = http://apu-chin.htccomm.com.cn/check-in/rws/and-app/update
ro.htc.appupdate.exmsg.url = http://apu-msg.htc.com/extra-msg/rws/and-app/msg
ro.htc.appupdate.exmsg.url_CN = http://apu-msg.htccomm.com.cn/extra-msg/rws/and-app/msg

STEP 3. Rename or delete the following file:

/system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

STEP 4. Rename or delete the following APK file:

/system/app/CheckinProvider.apk

There may be other ways to block OTA updates, if you know of any I haven't listed, please send me a PM!

[Desire General] timmie201:
I was watching a movie while charging my HTC Desire and at once it started vibrating and the screen was black also the charging LED was gone.

After like 20 seconds i pulled out the battery, did it back in and tried to boot it but nothing no screen led sound vibrate nothing.

I'm not sure wich radio i'm running i gues the last one (Flashed the newest as posible a month ago).

At the moment it happened i was running the latest MiUi (1.8.19)

It scared the hell out me and i'm not sure what todo now, i hope anyone can help me on this one (Also i checked the power there is nothing wrong with also all devices on the same net was the TV and my phone charging)

Edit1: Oke i figured out that if i put it on the charger the charging light goes on, then i try to turn my phone one the charging light is off for 5 seconds then it turns on again (Phone still doesn't work), When i take out the battery and hang it on my pc and try to turn it on the led blinks like orange green orange green and it keeps going also my pc doesn't react on the phone plugged in the USB

Thanks.

now that i'm back to vodafone branded, i'm tried updating but its telling me that theres no update avalible!?? :(

am i doing something wrong? help pleaseee.....

many thanks
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Did you write your old CID? I believe you should write down your stock CID, instead of SuperCID as you said you installed custom ROMs..

So, go S-Off with revolutionary and use "fastboot oem writecid XXXX" where XXXX is your old CID and give it a try.

GIve me a link to the stock RUU you used (if you used any :))
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Here's the latest Vodafone UK RUU:

http://www.multiupload.com/SAFC8695JA

You don't need anything out of it though, but you will need to reset your CID to the Vodafone one (VODAP001) as mentioned above too. I'm assuming you're on Vodafone UK btw
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
ok i think ive messed up i never noted my stock cid

the stock ruu i used was

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_UK_1.24.161.1_Radio_10.39.900 7.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190798_signed
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
i already had changed my cid to vodap001

downloading the lastest RUU now, will see what happens
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Don't panic, it's okay :D

Can you follow those steps please?

- Open your RUU and wait untill you get to the "View Readme" page where there is the picture of an HTC device. Don't close it.

- Go to your temp folder (Generally on Win 7 it's in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp")

- Look manually for folders that have lots of characters in that format: "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}".

- One of them should have another folder in it and 2 files, this folder should be in that same format "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX} too.

- There should be in that folder something named "rom.zip", open it up and you should find a file named "android-info.txt".

- Open up "android-info.txt" with any text editor, it should say on the second line: "cidnum: XXXXXXX". Copy and paste all the lines that contain "cidnum: XX" in a reply.

- You can now close the RUU.
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
sorry, what do i need to do this for?

i'm using windows vista, and i cant find the folder u mention :(

[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
i'm loving the help and info guys, but i'm lost! :(

whats this link for matey?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, OTA updates require pre-requisite versions to be available. For some reason there isn't one to go from 1.24.161.1 to 1.27.161.1 so first thing is to update using the latest RUU I posted above.

Then, you should get the OTA update to 1.35.161.1 and, hopefully, the update to 1.45.161.1
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
Right, I've updated VIA the latest RUU, but still getting no updates available!?

UPDATE: software update seems to be working now, after I did a factory reset! :)
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
This method is for getting the cid numbers that this RUU support, which in fact is your cid number as you're sure this is the official version that came with your device.

You just know which CIDs this RUU can be installed to, and get back your CID again. Go it? :D

Bonesly posted a great link, follow it and when you get to the rom.zip, open android-info.txt, and copy all the lines containing "cidnum: XXX" and paste it in a new post.

I'm just doing this instead of just giving you links, as it seems you want to stick to offical ROMs, so I don't find it suitable for you to search for updates manually. Returning your CID should make your phone tell you when there are OTA updates.

Hope it helps :)

Edit: Just discovered now that I'm not able to right a sentence without typos xD
[HTC Sensation] gibbo82:
Thank you for the info buddy :)
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Anytime ;)

Tell me if you need anything :D
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
It tells you how to remove the ROM.zip from the RUU using windows process manager, Then you can follow the guide given before to check android-info.txt to see the CID to let him know.Operators usually take a while longer to push updates as they add all their bloat first,Do you actually know that voda have pushed the OTA?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yes they have, confirmed on their website - 1.45.161.1

[G2 and Desire Z General] waterloomotu:
Please Help!

So I am running stock Bell Mobility firmware on my Vision. As far as the ota prompts inform me, my phone is completely up to date.

Recently I have been unable to launch the camera app on my phone. When I launch the app it opens to a black screen. No camera options or interface. It's as if the app was deleted somehow?

Help!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bharakrama:
You can check to see if the camera app is actually installed on your phone by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All. Or you can just download a different, and probably better, camera app from the market. Also your signature says you have a GT-I9100M, which I believe is a Samsung Galaxy S II. This question may be better answered on that sub-forum instead of on the HTC Vision/Desire Z one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Hi there :)

I am on Android since about 2 months, using a HTC Desire S. As I am allergic with Sense, I direclty installed a custom rom, from wich I deleted useless applications to me.

This is when I figured out that deleting Gmail will prevent the calendar to work ("You have no calendars").

So I got connected to my Gmail account from the web (created especially to access the android market), and I noted that my calendar were syncronized, and worst, that all my contacts from the phone were there too.

I am not quite parano, but I'd like to know if there is a way to keep the calendar and contacts only on the phone.

Autosync is disabled on my phone, but it had probably been enabled on the early days, so would disabling the auo sync prevent FOREVER my calendar and contacts to be uploaded to gmail, and manly, is it possible to use the calendar without installing the gmail apk ?

Thank you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
Can't tell you about what the sync is doing, because I honestly do not care, so I haven't looked into it, BUT what I can tell you is that the calendar works beautifully eventhough I don't have GMail installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Thanks for your information :)

Well then...

I found somethin' about these apks :

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

But I did not delete them, I can find them on my /system/app/ folder, when I tried to install them it asked me if want to replace it, I said Yes but then I have the report with the green check (as a good thing happened), but next to it it's writtent "Application not installed"...

Well it did nothing I think but this doesn't seem to be my issue, as they are already there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
OK,

What I had to do, is simply go in the "account & sync settings" menu, click on my gmail account (synced off) and then launch a calendar sync...

So this is a force go, if you want to use calendar, you need to sync it at least once.

Quite fair but could be better, even Bada needs a Samsung account to use the store since Bada 2.0...

[Verizon Droid Charge] bill15872:
My apologies up front. I have been doing ALOT of reading and may have missed this along the way but.... All I want right now is ROOT. No roms, no voodoo, just root. I am mostly concerned with backing up all of my data with Titanium Back up.

Feel free to bash me, but some where along the way please point me in the right direction.

I had tried rooting once before with my samsung Fascinate but I bricked it, so I'm a little gun shy with Odin.

Thanks in advance.

Noob
[Verizon Droid Charge] hiien:
Here's the steps as I know it:

0. Download the latest Samsung drivers onto your computer and install them (so your computer recognizes your phone when you plug it in)

1. Download the latest ODIN

2. Go to this thread and download the Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM)

3. Use ODIN to flash CWM onto your phone (if you don't know how to use ODIN, follow this thread)

4. Download imnuts' kernel from here

5. Follow the steps in imnuts' kernel thread to flash the kernel via CWM

6. ????

7. Profit!

Your phone is now rooted. No ROMs, no voodoo enabled.

EDIT: It's actually really difficult to brick your phone, at least the Droid Charge, as long as you follow the proper flashing instructions for ODIN. Make sure you use PDA!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
See this thread. It's up at the top of the Q&A section. Try searching there next time before posting a question. ;)

It's a shame that's all you want to do though. Stock really bogs down this phone, it can be so much more if you let it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bill15872:
First, Hiien...thank you

Second Hazard209... like I said in my post, I must have missed it. I have gone cross eyed bouncing from one thread to another. The vast list of options for this phone is both awesome and confusing as hell for a noob. I find myself getting off track, almost "you tube like". I start with rooting and wind up looking at posts about gps problems and the newest music player.

for now I just want to root----back up-----and then go forth and rom myself silly.. but first, baby steps
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Lol. I know what you mean. I was the same way when I just got my charge and "discovered" XDA.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Hi when ever they come out, both Celox and Prime seem to have the same hardware , I think because they are both manufactured by Samsung. So I want to know what is the advantage of having a Nexus phone vs other Samsung phone?

Any input is appriciated.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] mendez815:
No offense intended or anything but why would you post this question in the droid charge forums???? Seems a little out of place. :confused:

But to answer the question nexus phones are usually stock and will most likely always get the updates first and a lot earlier than any Samsung phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Who knows. You are talking about 2 phones that we have little to no information about. No one knows for sure if the Verizon will get the next Nexus phone or not.

The only thing that I can say comparing the next Nexus device to the Verizon GSII would be that one will run touchwiz 4 and the other will run stock ICS.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Moderatorers Please Delete this

I did not know where else to post, so I did post it here as I thought people here must know the best as they are already using Samsung's latest phone.

I request moderators to delete the thread.

Sorry for the inconvinience.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mendez815:
It was no problem I just hope the info i gave was helpful to you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Oh yes it as

Yes It was helpful, probablly I will wait till they both come out and I will see if I am missing out on anything by not getting samsung and get Nexus I guess...:-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Prime:

Will have infinite support, updates for years, Samsung HD screen, ICS, etc, etc....
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
and 1280x720 I guess

Thank you Syn Ack, also I am leaning towards it because it might have 1280x720 resolution screen...
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Even if they were the same phone as far as hardware, I would go with the Prime. It will have full AOSP support, from Google for at least a year, likely longer (2+?). With that comes easy porting of CM and any other AOSP based build. TouchWiz/Sense/Blur have some nice features compared to AOSP/CM in places (Camera, Calendar, Contacts, Calculator), but the overall experience will never be like a Google Experience device.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Thank you imnuts

Thank you for your input I was thinking the sameway, as I want the real google experience, the only thing I will have to look for now is how slim is it going to be compared to S2 PLUS. I have never had an issue with heavy phones though, everyone discouraged me when I got HTC PPC 6700,6800,Mogul,EVO and even Charge, but I like those because they bring their own characteristic to the device, else I would not have sold I-phone and I-pad to get back to Android.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
It's hard to discuss and get answers from the dev forum so I wanted to get a clear picture of what you guys think of these rom.

GingerReal or Coderom?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
GingerReal because it seems faster. Coderom for me has space issues. Have 30mb left in that rom after installing my usual apps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
How does it work for you now? I've been struggling with space issue while using coderom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

LOL, you must try them by your self. They BOTH good enough. You know some ppl like little things(theme and so on), others like speed, the third ones like smoothness, then stability and so on. Just let it try! Try one in one day. If you set it up and all working, do nandroid backup and try another one. If you dont like it, you can do NANDROID restore and all fine.

Its not just like this, this one better than other(IMO).

CHEERS! :cool:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Internal memory.

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] BrNoMen:
Well i'm using coderom right now, with a2sd so... internal memory is not very important now ahaha I tried gingerReal but it gave me some problemas, so i'm back to coderom again, and i'm happy with it, satisfied (not saying it's better, I mean, if you find any rom which is nice to your needs by now, why would you change to another rom which you can't see any BIG difference by now? :D )

They are both great anyways.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Deffeneatly agree with you! If you find, what you need, then STICK WITH IT and you be really satisfied with it.

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] djsky2011:
I try a new rom everyday and for me right now its gotta be coderom with v6, gingerreal is good but as someone said earlier its what best suits u, even tho they all use the same kernel

Well I've had about enough of this Nexus One. GPS hasn't worked since Gingerbread, and the compass is always off by at least 30 degrees. No one knows what's wrong with either. Voice quality isn't great, the speaker is terrible, and can't record calls internally. (without speakerphone)

I've always had good luck with Motorola, but they only seem to have about two comparable models, and I don't think either is rootable.
