[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] halrulez:
ok can do this in terminal from my phone or do i have to do this in adb from my computer?

and if so what are the full steps to get to the point so i can enter this. I am trying to understand adb hell i am just starting in linux so i am hella noob
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Scaryghoul:
Either one, you can either mount your phone on usb and move the misc.img to your sdcard then type the command in terminal on your phone.

OR

You can adb push the file to your sdcard then adb shell the command.

I'll make the instructions more detailed in a bit.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
What do you mean by: Modify the misc partition: dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1?

I moved the misc.img to sdcard but I have no mmcblk0pl in dev/block. Do I have to create that folder? And dd and of....lost me there.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TheTitanX:
I just did it and it worked perfectly. Back on 2.2, ready to root. Thanks again to otaking and scary for all your hard work. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] halrulez:
ok so i was able to do this from the terminal from my android

bow though when i am trying to run the ruu from my computer is starts to go but keeps says that it is waiting for the booloader. the phone wont boot in to the boot loader
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] otaking71:
you might need to install htc sync to run ruu's. http://www.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/setup_3.0.5557.exe
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
im just going to put this out there as well because i have had problems with the drivers that came with sync and i was forced to use the modified usb drivers found in the unrevoked evo tool, i dunno its weird but my vista pc didnt like anything but them drivers, and another guy i helped ruu from a major mess up, he couldnt get anything with sync to reconize his shift untill he used the same modified evo drivers . i hope no one has an issue but if it come about this is how to fix a driver issue
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sarspants:
Best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
provide link to said drivers? :cool:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
kinda cant provide an actual link directly to the drivers because i had to set up unrevoked just like i was rooting an evo, so i just hinted they were in the tool

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

thats where you can get the tool from to setup your drivers if you have issues with sync not playing well or your pc just dont want to read the drivers right
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
for those curious, a lil bit of history:

same method as used on the evo part 2 thread by toastcfh at xda.

only diff is shift is emmc and evo was mtd. shift emmc partitions are a bit more in number and named differnetly when compared to the evo mtd partitions. on the evo this partition was labeled as "misc" in /proc/partitions. the misc partition being flashed holds the software version number which hboot checks against to verify whether or not it will allow an RUU to be loaded.

also, i want to recall a web site somewhere which allows users to create a custom misc file with a provided version number.

thought this partition was protected by the internal memory write protection but appears it wasn't. not much of a surprise as the first release of the shift didn't have write protection for the hboot partition turned on.

great this works! sadly, they'll prob patch it next OTA around as they did for the evo.

good job on testing (sorry about the lost shift), publishing and releasing! glad to see the shift has unlocked internal memory write protection again!!!

you're path to the internal partition location is incorrect. as the OP states, use:/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

full command: dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

great article with the history and usage of dd, its a classic unix/linux command. very good to become familiar with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

hey guyz...

i have rooted my device with AlphaRev X and downgrade my hboot to 1.01.0001.

now i have a problem with the touch while in the dial-pad, I'm not able to dial the 4 5 6 row buttons(even in the all apps menu) , the touch isn't responding. I have a 1 yr warranty for my phone.

So i want to avail the warranty.

there is only 1 service center near to my place Andhra Pradesh, India which really sucks(i have been there twice) and i dont want to mess up.

Can i get the original HBOOT and S-on with the shipped rom on my phone so that i can avail the warranty easily.

Thnxxx...
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
First, restore your Stock ROM and/or flash the RUU. This will remove any Custom ROM's and will also remove Clockworkmod Recovery. Now, the only thing left is to remove AlphaRev's HBoot with the Stock HBoot

Download this OTA ZIP from Shipped ROM's:

OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip

Extract the HBoot image from this Zip. It will have a name like Hboot_xxxxx_.nb0

Once you have the stock HBoot file from the ZIP, follow this guide to remove AlphaRev's HBoot and install the Stock HBoot you just extracted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160251

That's it.

NOTE - Make sure you are performing this last, i.e. after you have got back the Stock ROM and removed Clockworkmod. Once you are S-ON and have not removed these, it just may be a bit more of a hassle.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Yes. Download the Indian eclair RUU (the one with recent build number). Flash it.

Then use the fastboot command which allows for downgrade (check dev section). Then flash the hboot 0.80 from the above downloaded ruu.

Now just it to warranty. Or u can even do a froyo ota update and give to warranty. Perfect stock.

Edit: oops. Either way. Never mind.
[Wildfire General] karthik0001:
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip

is not working..

so i downloaded the RUU ROM and installed it from my PC.

the version is 2.1 update 1.

all the home screens are empty. and im not getting the setup menu after the reset i.e. setup ur account etc. i tried manually also its not working,,,..

right now im updating it from the phone (software update-might to to 2.2).

hope it works..
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
That was only to extract the India specific HBoot 1.01.0002 file. To actually install the zip, you have to rename it to update.zip, place it on the SDCard and use the stock recovery to install.
[Wildfire General] karthik0001:
thank a ton u guyz...

finally i got it..

will go to the service center now :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
I saw today a guide on how to modify an EVO to use a Palm Touchstone charger. Has anyone done this for the Shift?

Also, what would be really cool would be to integrate the solar charging battery cover from the Samsung Replenish.

Any crazy Frankensteinian voodoo like this going on anywhere?

[Droid X General] Jays2Kings:
I was wondering if there was a way to force landscape mode in the gingerbread motoblur home, I've seen it happen by mistake for a second but I'm wondering if there is a way for it to have rotation.

Because one signature isn't enough.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
There is a mod out there that will do the job. I can't link to it, but with some searching you should be able to find it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] abuttino:
Every time I plug my Bionic into the computer, it goes to a Verizon Media Manager website.

What software is responsible for this sh*t???
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sfreemanoh:
The phone drivers. If you look down in your system tray for an icon with the Motorola icon, right-click it, then go to "When Device Connects...", then click Do Nothing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
Right click on the blue Moto icon in the system tray, then find the option where it says "When this device connects" and change it to "Do Nothing"

Edit: 3 seconds too late.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jessie02:
I know on my old Fascinate, computers that I had not installed drivers on, would do the same thing. However on this phone, I installed the drivers before plugging the phone in for the first time and it hasn't done it. Guess it doesn't really answer your question but just something I had also noticed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jessie02:
I have all the drivers installed but I don't seem to have that icon in my system tray?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Pitnefor:
it happens with all moto phones not just this one
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sfreemanoh:
Also, the phone needs to be in a USB connection mode, not just a charging mode.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] abuttino:
That was easy enough...

Thanks!

Don't understand why they need to spam the user as soon as they get the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
Hi All

I've had my Dezire Z since launch and it's still on the original software (1.34.405.5) and is perm rooted using visionary (pretty much since visionary first came out and so simple to use). The only thing I really wanted root for really was to be able to use SetCPU to underclock the phone when the screen was off to give better battery life as initially it was terrible!

However, last week the loud speaker died on me, anything that uses it (sat nav, music, ringtones etc) is really really badly distorted and totally unuseable.

I've spoken to HTC who suggested a factory reset (which I'm 99.9% certain won't help), and if that doesn't fix it, then I'll have to get it picked up for repair.

I'm fairly happy about backing up everything etc and unrooting using visionary, so my phone will be fine for sending off.

However I imagine they'll update to the newest version of the software, which If I understand correctly is not rootable? Is that right? I've read so many rooting threads and, to be honest, have been left somewhat baffled by it all!

If it comes back with the latest software, is there any hope for me to be able to root or flash to a difference (still Sense based) firmware?

Any help/advice very much appreciated!

Valve
[G2 and Desire Z General] iDAREK:
No, it is not true. I update my Desire Z to latest software, then downgrade easly to low version of 1.3x to get SuperCID, so it will not be a problem, becouse you can downgrade any time and put rooted firmware.

The problem will be if you get firmware, that was not yet published, but even for this it will be possible to do something.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
Oh that's good, though I have to say all the guides I've read about downgrading etc have left me rather confused.

I don't really have a huge need for root, except as I mentioned for running setCPU for battery life....
[G2 and Desire Z General] iDAREK:
I have also have root on my phone for setCPU, but I dont observe any changes with cpu management and without, so I decide, that I dont need it such, and upgrade to newest software without root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
How do you find the battery lasts on the newest software? on the original software it was really terrible until I started using setCPU...even now it's not brilliant...
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
It definately increased the battery life for me,I'm on a stock pre-rooted GB rom.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swinderz:
when i was 1.34 i never had any battery issues. if i left it alone it will last a week or more. but sadly i cant live without music and reading my txt/email, ive managed to get 6 days battery life. but this only happened after 2weeks since i bought the device.

i had to double charge the phone, charge the phone till green when its on then unplug the charger then charge the phone till green when phone is off. only had to do that method once.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shure2:
better off flashing to stock so its rooted and s-on. It really begrudgingly did this because they will plug it in when it goes back for repair.

I just got a stock rom off the net and they didn't update or downgrade it, they literally just wiped the user data which I have been told is protocol.
[Android Apps and Games] dkperez:
I've got an HD2 running Android. I installed iheartradio and it works fine most of the time. But, intermittently, most often after I make a phone call and hang up before it's answered (purely anecdotal but that SEEMS to be what happens), the radio won't work any more. I can press the play button, it tries, but no sound. Eventually, I get a popup that it "can't connect to server"...

I've toggled the wireless off and on, and looked at other settings, but I don't see any indication of why it'd suddenly stop working.

I'm not sure it's the same problem but sometimes when this happens, pressing the play button is ignored. Pressing repeatedly has no effect.

So far, the only way I've been able to get things working again is to power off the phone and reboot...

Ideas of what I should check/change?
[Android Apps and Games] dkperez:
Well, I see this problem just sat here like a turd in a punch bowl...

I presume this means it's just another app that mostly works most of the time on the HD2 running Android. And when it fails you just shut the phone off and reboot...

I'm currently using SwiftDroid m4. Now I'm not sure whether I should update to RC4 or try out AOSP.:confused: Can someone tell me the advantages and disatvantages of each rom?

Swiftdroid have Theme Choser, and that is big + for me.. But AOSP is clean and more stable.
[GT540 Optimus General] G00fY2:
Well, I bought Launcher Pro, so I think that I won't miss the theme choser.

But does AOSP also allows to put quick settings in the pull-down bar at the homescreen? Thats a feature I wouldn't miss.

Yes, eoghan2t7 maby I just try out AOSP and see how it works for me. But why do you use swiftdroid?

An other question: I followed a data2system guide last time before I flashed to swiftdroid m4. Do I need to do it again or how can I use data2system with the latest AOSP??

yes i use swiftdroid rc4 boot from rc5 and havent went back to AOSP since i installed m5 :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doncaruana:
Seems everyone is having a lot of market compatibility issues lately on CM7 or stock rooted and I'm wondering if the way the market works has changed. In the past, it seems that it simply used the build fingerprint. But now it seems to be using the actual build model.

Has anyone looked at this or made a similar determination one way or the other?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
I believe LCD density is now a factor, too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunkeye:
Yeah, most of the recent problems people are having with the new Market aren't due to the model/fingerprint stuff, it's because the Market now seems to REALLY care what your LCD density is set to. I don't fully understand the logic of that, but it is what it is.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aegrotatio:
I think DPI is a problem, too.

Changing the /system/build.prop to 160 DPI changes lots of problems, but some things like Hacker's Keyboard get overly large keycap images because that's not the correct value. The value most of our rooted Nook Colors have in this file is 161 DPI for some unknown reason. It's probably really measuring the screen, but on an embedded device, it should not be measured but set to a static value like 160 or 170 and that's that.

The Nook Color is 170 DPI or 169 DPI depending on whom you ask.

This breaks the Android Market. It should not, but it does.

Hi,

Some one please help me.

My XT720 was dead a few days, my PC can not recognize it.

When i press the power it's say : Code corrupt, Battery low, can't start ...

Then i plug the usb cable into phone, it's still msg : Code Corrupt a few seconds, after that, start boot and load to OS.

But, have a question mark on the battery icon, and my PC can not recognize phone, have tried 2 laptops and 1 PC, it's still nothing changed ! The Lock/Unlock button not works ...

I think it's using power from laptop to boot up, because when not plugin the usb cable, it's can't start up.

Please help me resolve it

Hi all,

From my work I had to connect android with the groupwise 8 server. The email client on fxp20b, wolfbreak 4.0.4c, and thgo 2.2. In all standard email clients SSL authentication is broken. If I install original non rooted gb 2.3.3 f from SE. Then authentication succeeded.

Has it to do that rooting your SE will break the email client. Webdav/activesync is crippled on those three custom roms.

edit: is there no Dev who can confirm this issue with the standard email client. otherwise I have to stick with the standard Sony Ericsson gingerbread firmware.

Hey guys,

Just picked up the Japanese Xperia Acro with au/KDDI in Japan. From what I gathered, the phone is almost exactly the same as the Xperia Arc, only difference in name, so I felt it'd be best to post here.

Anyway, great phone, but I'm desperate to root it and then overclock the processor. Thing is, it's branded with the carrier, so I'm unable to access fastboot loader. (Holding menu and plugging in usb doesn't trigger blue light)

Considering this is my first Android phone, I'm literally stuck on where to go from here. Is it impossible for me to root this phone and load custom firmware due to it being locked with the carrier? Am I really stuck with an untinkerable phone?

Appreciate your help guys...
