[Thunderbolt General] Stratejaket:
If there are parts that you do not completely understand go ahead and ask specific questions. Nobody will be upset if you are trying to make sure you know what your doing. Which parts did you not understand?
[Thunderbolt General] iandroo888:
so what i understand so far... you need to obtain S-Off and unlocked boot loader..

theres a few ways in obtaining that? mr1/ota permroot or revolutionary.. there are people saying revolutionary (or the quick n easy way) has a higher chance in bricking phone.. is that true? b/c i wanna use the way that has the lowest or one of the lower chance to brick the phone.. Yah i want it done fast but i want it done the safest way too.. was reading the instructions and it says it uses the clockwork recovery.. iirc.. there was between clockwork and amun-ra ??

for the most part it looks kind of similar to the process i did with my nexus one..

after it being rooted and having the bootloader... do i just look for those custom firmware packages like uhm cm7 or synergy (or what do you people recommend that you like??) and flash it from sd card in bootloader??
[Thunderbolt General] Stratejaket:
Of all the reading I did about revolutionary I didnt notice anyone bricking their phone. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it seemed to run smooth for most everyone that followed the directions.

You will install CCW while your running the revolutionary.

And to answer your last question, yes you will just download whatever rom you choose to the root of your sdcard, flash it from recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] iandroo888:
*sigh* friend hesistant to get it done because he has insurance on the phone... guess ill wait until he's willing ;) ahaha thx for the help !
[Thunderbolt General] Stratejaket:
All the more reason to root. Worst case he bricks it. If he doesn't brick it he will learn how much more fun and enjoyable the Tbolt is with the ability to flash new roms, or change whatever he wants.

Insurance covers phones "accidentally" dropped into the toilet... ;)
[Thunderbolt General] iandroo888:
yah hes worried if it gets bricked.. hes all for the fixing ...
[Thunderbolt General] fadepoint89:
The only way you are going to brick your phone is if you don't follow the directions. Just make sure you do a nandroid backup through the bootloader and go from there. If your friend is to afraid to do it I'm sure you can check Craigslist for people to root it for you. I'd do it for you but I don't know if the forum allows it.
[Thunderbolt General] Dameon45:
Tell him to grow some and root. Hes gonna have to eventually do it anyways to avoid issues like hes been having. Of he does an insurance claim they're just gonna send him a refurbished one and who's to say all the issues were solved with that one after it was sent back? I don't get how people can complain, ask for help and then be reluctant. Whatever you do make sure you sit him down and walk him through it otherwise if he has any issues he'll be calling and blaming you. Been there and laughed and laughed. Good luck.
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm in the same boat almost. I still haven't rooted and rom'd yet for similar reasons. That said, I'm pretty close, especially with the logging fiasco. From what I've read, there haven't been any legit reports of bricking due to Revolutionary, at least used correctly. Most people say it's only when you try an old method of rooting or otherwise don't follow directions.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Trust me... It's a LOT less scary after you do it than before. I've helped walk some people through the old ADB method with success and Revolutionary is idiot proof by comparison.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Like the title says. Every time I try to install an app, I can't. The whole Package Installer window pops up and everything, but the only buttons that I am able to press are "Cancel" and "Show All." Install is there, it isn't greyed out, but I can't press it.

Tried everything, from different file explorers, to rebooting and using different roms (started randomly on AHD and now it's happening on Prime), to using my stylus to tap and changing the orientation. I used Multitouch Visualizer to test whether or not that part of my screen is messed up, but it isn't. Anything in the same spot in any other app works, just not the install button in Package installer.

Running Prime 2.03 but it randomly started on Android HD as well.

Any ideas?

I just wanted to start a thread about ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ so please feel free to mention any Tips/Tricks you've noticed. LETS KEEP THIS THREAD CLEAN AND POSITIVE!

I noticed while in the app drawer you can also use the screen leap feature just as you would on the homescreen (take two fingers and pinch them together just as you would if you were to pinch to zoom).

If you double tap the home button it will bring up Vlingo voice command.

You can not zoom in and out in 1080p video recording mode, but you can zoom in and out in 720p and under mode while video recording.

If you hold down on the home button first and then click on the power button you can take screenshots.

I am not familiar with easy tether, but if its a guaranteed tip/trick then I will add that in the OP right now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
I used it and it works, and I couldn't tether though the built in apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Is easy tether a 3rd party app or is it built in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
It's a third party app, and I'm really not trying to push easytether, I've just used it and it works. I'm sure any of the other tethering without root apps would work.

[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
So I moved... and now I have no T-Mobile service. I have working wifi on my laptop but I'm too far from the router to have WiFi calling work. I have two wireless adapters (one external that picks up 11Mbps downloads and 3Mbps uploads) and one internal (which varies). I want to set up an ad-hoc in Windows 7 that my phone can connect to and trick WiFi calling into working so I can use my phone. I put this in development because obviously Android doesn't even see my ad-hoc network in the first place.

Can this be done somehow? I'm running Android Revolution HD ROM btw.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Enable Ad-hoc WiFi Network for Sense Roms ( Working 100% )

this Problem occures because Android filters the ad-hoc networks from wifi search results , means Android discovers them , but not showing them to you !!!!!!!!!

i don't know about the effect on wifi calling .

there is a patch for Desire HD that i used on my Incredible 2 ( working 100% ) called ( DHD_Adhoc_Support.zip ) link in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386601&highlight=AdHoc+Enable+Networking

there is another one for sensation called ( Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip ) . i don't remember from wher i downloaded it . i don't have sensation phone to try it , but i am sure it will work . Update link http://www.multiupload.com/A6AGJVX7A0

this patch will replace your original file in your Rom , so do a nand before you try

All sense Roms i tested have problems with wifi ???

there is a small yet powerful Software Called Connectify Pro that does three things :

Acts like an actual hardware Router ( Not software networking )

toggle wifi with a single click for either ad-hoc or hotspot

automatically does all complicated configurations for all types of network to fit with your firewall and windows

And more , i can't do without it

hope that would help , Please hit thanks if you found it useful for you

This has been a great forum! I would like to thank all the devs who have made this a great phone and will continue to do so in the future. I just think its time for me to see how green the grass is on the other side for a while (although I get my android fix from my TouchPad running CM7.1 :D) So far I like the 4s and iOS5! Who knows, maybe Samsung Nexus will swing me back, but for now Farewell! I hear nightlies are on the way for Atrix, should be an exciting time!

i was thinking about doing the same thing until i went to the apple store today and played with one, i love the resolution of the screen and the camera is dope, siri is also nice(eventhough the apple employee couldn't get it to work lol), and i love the overall design of the iphone 4/4s(that's one of the things i can say the iphone has over the atrix, besides the fingerprint scanner), i was almost sold until i pulled my atrix out of my pocket and seen that beautiful CM7, i'm sorry but i couldn't replace my atrix with the iPhone, i'll "MAYBE" get one to mod and fool around with, but not replace my atrix....

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread but I recently purchased a 32GB Micro SD and it has an issue when I go to write stuff to it via USB from phone or adapter into front of PC.

When I put things onto it only certain things stay. For example, when I copy my music folder # - Bs get written on it and if I try to put on pictures nothing happens.

It goes through the process as if it is writing the files but then they go away whenever I remove the device.

Any ideas or thoughts?!?!?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noisy_lightning:
Hi guys, I think this is probably a simple fix but I am new to all this so best to ask.

Today I took my first steps into custom roms after a month or so of reading about them. Today I bit the bullet and using the AHK I rooted my phone, and then flashed ARHD. All went well, the ROM installed, and as I type this is running on a functioning phone.

However, I have since rebooted a couple of times for various reasons, and now I seem to have lost root, it started with the CPU Daemon crashing when launched (FC) and so I rebooted incase it was down to that, then when I rebooted none of the apps which require root will work (TiBackup, ROM Manager, Terminal Emulator etc) each time I run one it either FC or in the case of TIB I am prompted for root and when I press allow TIB says "Requesting Root Access" then FC.

Am I right in thinking I have lost root or is there something simple I have missed?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Did you turn Security Off (S-OFF)? If so, I'd reflash the Custom ROM again.

Seems your not the only one with this issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noisy_lightning:
S-Off was performed and completed by the AHK so it should be off as far as I know. I just ran the CMD file again and in the options menu after it connects to my phone it gives me the option to turn S-ON so that makes me think its off. Also on the bootloader it states "S-Off" at the top before I select Recovery.

Would you suggest isntalling over the top with the ROM or complete wipe etc?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I'd do a full manual wipe, then install it again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noisy_lightning:
In which case I shall do it tomorrow, as I have spent the better part of the last few hours doing it already.

Can you clear up for me what exactly will be lost when I do a full wipe, will my SD card be affected at all (not that it matters as I have it backed up on my laptop) or is it just the actual phone ROM which will be wiped.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Within ClockworkMod Recovery you have the mounts & storage menu, from there you should format cache, data & system.

Your SD will be untouched, be careful though as format sdcard is just about format system.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieBl:
I'd recommend ARHD super wipe script - Can be found here:

No problem.

If you used XTC then you don't need to bother about getting rooted to start with!

You will need to initially flash the ENG (engineering bootloader) see this thread over your existing one.

Then you aiming to install a custom recovery CWM (clockworkmod) which you can do by following the steps in my signature this will enable you to flash a pre-rooted custom ROM.

You'll need to download and extract the adb&fastboot exe's onto a directory on your PC.

install the HTC drivers onto your PC

then follow the steps within the Flash CWM & su via fastboot

At this point you should be able to take a backup of your original ROM (albeit now rooted) just in case you have any issues during the flashing of your first customs, you'll have a safe point to restore back to.

Now you can load a custom ROM that will be rooted.

see the various sticky threads for guides.

I'm off to bed now, but will assist if you need help still tomorrow.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No problem, good call on the ROM only recently moved to this one myself and certainly don't have any complaints.

Would also suggest that now you're up and running it's worth switching to 4EXT recovery. It has more functionality and better support for our device even though it's still based on the solid code base of CWM!

Don't bother moving up to the latest HBOOT 2.xx.xxxx no matter what you read (not for a while anyway - just no benefit!)
