[Legend Android Development] Supaiku:
I'd like to put a response up on how I got my friend's HTC Legend loaded with CWM and subsequently rooted.

I didn't go through and read the whole thread, but when I was searching to a solution to the errors I got when trying to flash the S-ON .zip package, I later discovered that with HTC's (relatively new?) bootloader unclocking method (via their HTCdevs website), you can flash the otherwise "S-OFF" Clockwork mod image with no problem via fastboot (again, once *UNLOCKED* through the HTC website). This ultimately makes the Supertool scripts superfluous. Once you have clockwork mod flashed, rooting is simply a matter of flashing a rooted ROM, or root package through CWM.

It's not as complicated as it once was, needing complex scripts, gold cards, and whatnot.

1. Unlock via HTC website (requires that you flash appropriate RUU image updating hboot, and register and perform other procedures which may void parts of your warranty)

2. Flash the S-OFF CWM Recovery img (not zip!) via fastboot as per instructions (but again, flash the previously denoted "S-OFF" compatible .img recovery onto your now *UNLOCKED* S-ON Legend phone.

*contrary to what it says in the thread, with an *UNLOCKED* S-ON bootloader, it's possible to flash the image, and everything works fine (as best as I can tell, and I don't see why it shouldn't. The zip format was meant to allow you to flash it through the native recovery, because security features were restricting fastboot's access to recovery files; with an unlocked bootloader this is no longer an issue, despite the phone still being S-ON it's unlocked and allows flashing of the recovery files via fastboot.)

*NOTE*: I used the older version, without a hitch, but I'd guess that 5.0.2.8 would work just as well. May try it out later.

3. Flash your desired rooted (or stock) ROM, or root package etc. Anyhow, once you've got CWM Recovery loaded it's just like any other phone...

Say what you will about Steve Jobs and his flagship company, Apple, but I think we all must admit some form of loss on the matter. For all the bad things that we love to rip on about Apple, it is no big secret that this company with this man at the helm drove our precious smartphone market into the spotlight we all share today.

Rewind the clock a few years and the only "smartphones" on the market, called Pocket PC or PPC, were Windows Mobile devices. That operating system once ruled the PDA/mobile device sector with an iron grip. Granted that back then it was less than 5% of cell phone owners that actually had a PPC. We were all business users with different tastes making our devices work for us, one way or another. we all dealt with the poor WM UI for so long that we knew nothing else. It was commonplace to install Today Screen plug-ins like SPB or HTC Home to give it a slightly more attractive appeal.

The game all changed when Apple, with Steve Jobs at the helm, released the original iPhone. Hardware-wise it was particularly unimpressive. It utilized the average hardware from the time. The thing that made it stand out over anything was the intuitive UI, iOS. This new operating system brought smartphones out of the strictly geek circles, and introduced a new mobile gadget to millions of people who thought touch-screens were only used in Star Trek. It ushered in a whole new era of thinking.

Manufacturers took immediate notice of this and changed their way of doing things to keep up with Apple. Google purchased Android, Inc. and pushed forward with development of it's Android OS platform. RIM began ramping up production and released version five of their Blackberry operating system. Even Microsoft, who had previously dominated the PPC market began to back away from its aging UI and began working on WP7.

The impact that this man has had on our community, for better or worse, is one that every member has felt at one point or another. Without him pushing the market forward, you would probably still be stuck waiting on that Netflix DVD to arrive rather than queuing it up on your device. Whether you're an Android fan, an Apple fan, or even an aging Windows Mobile die-hard, like myself, today is a sad day for us, and one in which we should all pay our respects.

If anyone has anything else to add, this is the thread to do it.

You summed it up nicely, yourself.

But yeah, love or hate him, he did ALOT for technology in general, whether you used Apple products or not, they impacted the market greatly and most of the things you use may have never come to pass without Apple being pushed ahead helmed by Steve Jobs.

What ??? Please re-phrase ur question in a more clear way. Thanks

You can flash any of the "leaked" or official Gingerbread firmwares (that are pure "leaked" or official stock) through Odin. Just be sure to flash the GB Bootloaders through Odin first,

they are not included in the firmware that u choose to flash. .This may be the answer u r looking for from ur question above...

I was just in Froyo and my phone was beginning to lag and run kinda rough. I was weary of flashing because I dont know too much about it and I could afford losing the phone. However, I decided to factory reset (will lose info) and go for the One Click Odin to GB 2.3.5. I cant tell you how much I feel it improved my phone. It was very easy to do(Open Odin, Connect phone, click Start, Done!). Perhaps you can try factory resetting to see if your phone responds and if you feel like you want more, go for GB.
[Motorola Photon 4G] avernix:
I'm afraid I screwed up and would appreciate your help. My newly purchased Photon is stuck in reboot loop. It reaches the end of Sprint graphics and then immediately reboots.

What I've done:

1) Rooted the phone

2) Unlocked bootloader

3) Flashed 2.3.4-4.5.1A Stock ROM

4) Flashed CWM

----- phone was still OK at this point -------

5) Flashed Home Base ROM 1.7B ext4

------phone wouldn't boot properly --------

6) Reflashed 2.3.4-4.5.1A Stock ROM through RSDLite

What I've tried:

1) Different USB port

2) Taking out the battery for 5 minutes

3) Flashing CM3 Stock ROM

The end result is the same. RSDLite completes, saying "manually power up your phone", but the phone is just stuck in the loop.

Thanks for your help.

Just a little help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
I think that using the new baseband only because it's "new" is simply stupid. I bet that you don't even know what's new in it. The old one is good and stable. You'll make your life easier if you use the old one instead of asking how to use mobile data with the new one.

Alternatively, you can try to compile the new CyanogenMod Mik is working on. Maybe he already fixed this.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jameslepable:
Well gsm works why not data? and its not wasted time. As everytime I want to test a new version of a rom or a new rom (Andy's rom) I have to downgrade baseband use it. Then prefare a different rom and have to upgrade baseband. Its a hasel so if one could make one universal baseband that would be ideal.

Yea I know how to downgrade I do it to test different roms.

New baseband is much better where I live. Never cuts out, hear people much more clearly and download speed is faster. (Remember I said where I live.)
[HTC EVO 3D] kertong:
Hey guys,

Uploaded a 3D camcorder video I shot today to youtube, and when watching it in the red/blue 3D mode, I noticed something really weird.

The video shows a dog skateboarding away from me. However, at 0:15, the distance between the left dog image, and the right dog image, "jump" and move about an inch apart from each other, even though the dog is moving away from me very gradually and slowly, it "pops" like that and messes with the depth.

Here is the link if you want to see it for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVGm6LA8DzU

Anyone else getting this? I am using scott's CleanROM 2.6 with the silent camera mod from his ROMUpdater service...

I watched the video with my 3D glasses and the dog "teleporting" to the left and right happened. The dog also split into 2 during the video and then it re-focused back.
[HTC EVO 3D] e_town:
I've seen this happen in nearly all of the 3d vids that I have recorded. Not sure what is going on. I always thought that it could be caused by the phone not really being able to process and merge the two video streams into one file on the fly as it's creating the movie and it seems to lag a bit when recording....
[HTC EVO 3D] kertong:
Hmmm, I'm not sure if it's the evo not being able to keep up with the recording and encoding - framerates stay smooth the entire time through, and the only thing that changes is the 3d alignment, which is just a matter if simply moving the left or right image (then interleaving them for the parallax barrier). When this jumping around happens, the L/R images are still being mux'ed into the interleaved 2d image, just with varying "distances" from each other. Of course, I am but a simple computer monkey so I may have just been talking out of my ass there, haha.
