why buy a sprint US phone and not by a phone from your own country? wouldnt that just be easier?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Geno419:
Help with Photon

Did you figure out how to get the Photon to work in Israel?

I am having issues as well and it has been causing me intermittent service for a while now (using Hot Mobile / Pelephone).

Any tips to get this POS working on a more reliable basis?

P.S. I know minimal about phones so the simpler the explanation the better.

Thanks and much appreciated.!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mast3rpyr0:
I was thinking about using my old G1 with a Bluetooth OBDII reader for my car, was wondering if there is a minimalistic ROM available or if anyone would have the free time to make something that is essentially just the Bluetooth stack, maybe wifi, and whatever is required to run a single app(not even a home screen, just this app). I'd be interested in helping develop it as well, just have no idea where to start. Reply or PM if interested :)

EDIT: I wouldn't be opposed to using another linux distro on the phone if possible, its been awhile since ive been into deving so I forget if its possible with this phone (G1).

To make the process very simple, try this method.

Just follow this steps for an error free downgrade.

1. Download the rom here.

2. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip

2. Place it on the root of your sd card.

3. Switch On your phone while holding the Power button & the down volume button.

4. The hboot menu will update your phone (do according to the hboot instructions).

The original bootloader is 0.86.0000

Now reboot & enjoy your update......This is the original T-mobile 2.2.1 version....so no worries.....

[Desire HD General] DeadlyCords:
BEFORE YOU START:

Although I do not own an HTC device any longer, I know from experience how frustrating and hard it can be to root it. Therefore I have created this simple guide to help anyone who is struggling with creating a goldcard and downgrading their device, for newbies and veterans alike.

***IMPORTANT: NEW Goldcard website, provided by Gene Poole

http://huygens.hoxnet.com/goldcard.html

UPDATE 2021 (not sure if anyone is still here!) :

If this site doesn't work - here's a link to a new site posted by deeg05 last week:

https://deeg05.ga/wiki/goldcard

See Post #2 For The Guide

*** A HUGE THANK YOU TO Gene Poole. He has created a script to create your own gold card image (see step 4 in guide) - all rights to this script are his. Thank you also to Operator 3 for the mini guide on how to use the gcard.exe, thanks also to glevitan for responding so promptly to image requests on the thread

***IMPORTANT: To find your CID:

OR

***NOTE that you might need mmc1 or mmc0, depending on the SD card which you use

Scroll Down For Guide, and don't forget to thank me if I helped :D
[Desire HD General] DeadlyCords:
GUIDE:

Preliminary Step: Take a deep breath, and be patient. This is a simple guide, but can be frustrating, especially if revskills is down. Any damage you do to your phone is your own responsibility, and will only happen if you aren't patient or do not follow the steps properly.

1. Format the microSD card to FAT32. ***Note: THIS WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR SD CARD - make a backup first!

2. Launch GoldCard Helper on your phone. (Download Here)

3. Write down the ‘Card:mmc2, Reverse CID’ value, making sure to use mmc2 and not mmc1. (For how to find CID look at first post)

4. Go to this page and enter the reverse CID or normal CID and follow the instructions. Alternatively, use the following method to create your own gold card image (all credit to Gene Poole for gcard.exe and Operator 3 for the steps to generate goldcard.IMG):

Replace the long series of numbers with your REVERSE CID

5. Launch HxD hex editor (download here) on your computer by right-clicking it and clicking ‘Run as Administrator’.

6. Mount your SD card to your computer -

MAKE SURE IT IS FAT32 FORMATTED!

7. Go to ‘Extra’ menu > ‘Open Disk’

8. Select Removable Disk (which should be your SD card) under Physical Disk (NOT LOGICAL DISK!), uncheck ‘Open as Readonly’ and click OK.

9. Go to the ‘Extra’ > ‘Open Disk Image’ again and this time open the goldcard image that was sent to you.

10. Select ’512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks)’ as the sector size when prompted and click ‘OK’.

11. In the goldcard image tab, go to ‘Edit’ > ‘Select All’ and then ‘Edit’ >’Copy’.

12. In the ‘Removable Disk’ tab, highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 including the 00000170 line and go to ’Edit’ menu > ‘Paste Write’.

13. Click ‘File’ > ‘Save’ and accept any warning that you get.

Congratulations - You now have a goldcard!

You can now downgrade your phone in order to flash custom ROMs

Good Luck!

Remember to thank me if i helped you!
[Desire HD General] pogox:
Thanks, it works great! Was able to flash from GB 2.3.3 stock HTC Desire Z back down to 2.2. Just rooted now, and in the process of flashing Unity rom.

Thanks for the help!
[Desire HD General] spdkay:
This is awesome, I really spent the whole weekend reading tutorials on how to downgrade my Desire HD, alle guides directing to the psas revskills website, which is out of order obviously.

I have sent you 2 pm's: The first one has the wrong Reverse CID (mmc0). I will have to bare the shame with me for the rest of my n00b life.

The second pm has the correct CID (mmc2) I hope you can help me out! Thanks anyway!

Edit

I see now that I have to include the normal CID as well, I guess this step has just been added? I have used Google to search for a guide on doing this, but can't find any. I have the Android SDK installed, anyone knows how I can use it to obtain the CID? Thanks!

Edit

Sent a third e-mail, now with all the info you need. Sorry for the confusion I may have caused.
[Desire HD General] fyndyk:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter&feature=also_installed

Can this be used to get the CID?
[Desire HD General] htbracy:
This is how I found my CID.

Open ASTRO File Manager

Navigate to sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001 (you’ll find that 0001 will be different on your device)

Long press on the CID file

Select Open As and then Text

Select File Editor

You’ll be given a long number, make a note of this.

[Desire HD General] mjoand:
Revskills web page seems to be back online but the image file generator is not there anymore.

You can download free sw which is not working for new phone models. So they make you to pay EUR20 for the standard version to try out if it works for you.

Anyone tried the commercial version ?

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Looks like Revskills have taken the generator offline. You can download their sw for free but it does not do newer devices. By paying EUR 20 you might be able to do....

In any case THANKS to Deadlycords for this post and for the support.

Unfortunately did not work on my Desire Z..... :(

[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
Let's begin

1st download all the necessary files:

Motorola 5.4.0 Driver with MotoHelper http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=bda09ec8009a0210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD

stock UK XT720 sbf and RSD Lite 4.9 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953863

SuperOneClickv2.1.1 ftom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887416

OI File Manager or from Android Market

Open Recovery for XT720 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242259

CM6 RC3 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197655

Then proceed to install the windows drivers for XT720,

once that is done flash your XT720 back to factory stock,

to go into ROM flashing mode Hold Power + Volume Down + Camera buttons all at once, be patient, it will take a while and a couple of reboot.

When the phone is finally done booting up, go into Settings > Applications, and check the boxes for USB debugging + Stay awake,

now you can run SuperOneClickv2.1.1 to root your XT720, for step by step rooting instructions follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887416

Next you will want to install a File Manager to your XT720, the stock XT720 doesn't include any file manager,

open a command line (in windows run CMD),

switch to the directory ..\SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse\ADB\

run the command line adb.exe install FileManager-1.1.6.apk

The next step is best done using a microSD card reader, then you can drag & drop all the files for your XT720 directly to the SD card from Windows Explorer

- OpenRecovery.apk,

- the unzipped files from OpenRecovery-XT720-01 folder,

- update-cm-6.3.0-RC3-MilestoneXT720-signed.zip,

- gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip

Using the OI File Manager install OpenRecovery.apk (it should be at the root of your SDcard),

run Open Recovery from XT720 stock launcher's app drawer,

select Install Recovery System (allow super user),

then follow the instructions to install OpenRecovery-XT720-01 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242259

Once you are done proceed to install update-cm-6.3.0-RC3-MilestoneXT720-signed.zip, and gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip using OpenRecovery-XT720 (for details follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197655),

select clear cache, dalvik, and factory reset

choose the reboot option from OpenRecovery-XT720 menu,

the first boot of CM6 will take a very long time,

when you see the launcher, let it finish loading, then reboot the phone again via power button > reboot,

after this last reboot, the phone is finally ready for normal usage.

Enjoy!
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
You can get the Dexter's OpenRecovery.apk here
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
you can use universal androot to root your phone alternatively. its super easy. just drag it onto your sd card (or download directly from your phone), install the apk, and click root. heres a link. http://www.4shared.com/file/HvHnis8C/Universal_Androot_v161.html

Help on Boot Loop

Followed all instructions here to update to the the cm 6.3.0 RC3. Everything appeared to go as stated, but after reboot i seem to be stuck in a vicious boot loop. I get the cyanogen mod droid logo but it seems to pop up every 10 seconds or so without the phone ever starting up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's cute as a paperweight, but not much good as a phone.

Disregard....after rebooting for nearly nine hours....the phone finally started up and appears to be working....Thanxxxx

Awesome Instructions bud, much needed for the first timers. Just thought I would add that stock 2.1 always came with quickoffice for me and that's what I normally use at first to install Open Recovery but always end up needing a better File Manager anyway. So either way, I hate to be a stickler just might be one less step lol. Good job AllGamer dude!

Ps.. I should have just said good job dude your way is better lol.
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
Install APN manager from the market and find your carrier there.

You could always just input them manually, doesn't require any skill bud, :eek: you just have to google the correct APN configuration details.

Hi,

i installed cm6 rc 3 as described above. And it runs very smooth and stable.

Although i have one big problem: If i insert my sd-card (3gb fat + 1 gb ext4, with app folder on ext partition) in my phone, app2sd works as it should and the phone boots as usual. But when the phone shuts off the display and goes into sleep mode, i am no more able to wake it up again. When I push the power button only the leds switch on. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.

If sdcard is not inserted, everthing works great. with no problems since three days now.

But i would like to have my sdcard back...

Perhaps some can help me.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I'm not certain but I think this means that Android thinks your battery has more charge than the hardware does. I would first try to redo battery calibration (there are threads in the XT720 general section about how to do this) if you can convince yourself that your battery is actually full. It can be a little tricky.

don't go over 1000 Mhz

else you'll see weird bugs with the Apps

but even the stock 720 Mhz speed is very smooth for normal use

only switch to 1 Ghz if you want to play heavy games

most games works great at 720 mhz

If you drag all the way to the right you can set custom setting but be careful b/c if you set your vsels too low you get wierd random reboots. I have mine set at 1100/74 but I also have SetCPU working to, so it isn't OC'd like that the whole time.

Use MSOC 1.4.2 and set apply on boot.
[Milestone XT720 General] Inge2000:

[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Ok, just download this apk http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/downloads/detail?name=MilestoneOverclock142.apk and install it. Give SU permission and load module. In the app draw the slider all the way to the right for "custom" setting. Use this to set your Frequency and Vsels if you do not want to use presets.

There is a box to tick apply on boot and it should work when you reboot and save settings.

Recommended setting would be to use the presets until you get comfortable. Vsels to low will cause randon reboots. Go with 1000/66 preset and you should be good.
