[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zealus:
I've seen this question pop up here and there but all solid answers are dated back to Spring 2011 and Verizon has updated their software at least once since then so I don't know if those answers still apply.

Last night I rooted my TB and went through a bunch of custom ROMs to see what the fuzz is all about. Of course some worked, some - not so much, but my main issue remained the same throughout whole process. The phone/data signal was always an issue. In some cases I've got solid 5 (6) bars, in some cases - phone app crashed with Force Close message and I got none. IN any case - I NEVER got the 4G connection until I rolled back to stock ROM.

Questions: since I was trying Gingerbread ROMs but haven't touched my stock radio - could that be a problem? Is it mandatory to use GB radios with GB ROMs? Will I be able to roll back the radio (I know I can roll back the ROM now that I did it) if something doesn't work out?

Would appreciate your answers for newbie :) Thanks!

[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
This guide will explain how to downgrade chacha from higher RUU version to lower RUU version. Even HBoot downgrade is possible. Mine, I successfully downgraded from HBoot 1.05 to 1.04.

Usually this error msg appears if you try to downgrade your firmware ‘Main Version is Older’, the guide will help solve this.

The guide is based on thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10757949#post10757949

This is not my actual work, I searched thru the forums when I wanted to downgrade my chacha from RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed to RUU_Chacha_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.21.707.2_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_197518_signed and created this guide.

My device is carrier unlocked, S-ON and this method will work on S-ON devices.

Note: Before you proceed, I accept no responsibility if you brick your phone. Do it on your own risk!!!

Things you need

I assume you already have android SDK and HTC sync installed in your system

1)	Flash_Image – http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachments/root-hacking-modding-fuer-htc-desire/8835d1275662657-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig-flash_image.zip

2)	HEX Editor - http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD

3)	A gold card – search thru the forums if you need to create one.

Step 1: Achieve temp adb shell root

You can achieve temp adb shell root using zergRush method, if you don’t know how, your can see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296916 or simplest way is to use the batch file created by qzfive http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319386

Step 2: copy the mtd0 file to sdcard.

Open command prompt, change your directory to ADB directory (usually the folder where ADB.exe resides).

In the command prompt type, adb shell

You should see ‘#’ at the prompt, if you see ‘$’ then you didn’t achieved temp root, redo step-1.

In the command prompt type

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

Step 3: now change the USB connection type to ‘disk drive’ and copy the ‘misc.img’ to your pc or laptop. Use HxD as administrator and open ‘misc.img’

Step 4: The current version number can be located at 11th line, change it to the version number of RUU you want to downgrade to. I have changed mine from 1.33.401.1 to 1.25.709.1 and save. Be sure to back up the file before any updates.

Step 5:

copy the flash_image (which you downloaded at the start) and misc.img back to your root of sdcard

Step 6: change the USB connection type to ‘charge only’ and execute the below commands in the adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img

Step 7:

Copy the rom.zip from RUU which you wanted to flash to the root of the goldcard and rename to PH06IMG.zip. Power off the phone, insert goldcard to the phone – press volume down + power on, the phone will flash the rom.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
I'm quite happy to see that this ChaCha section is getting more and more used. This goes straight to the ChaCha guide that I made. Congratulations!
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
Thank you, i was trying my luck for s-off as in this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317960 so downgraded my phone. and unfortunately no s-off!
[HTC ChaCha] bedwa:
Ok, this could be modified with a s-off hboot in the zip to achieve s-off, I'm sure of it. Anyone have an engineering s-off Hboot around?
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
It wouldn't work - if you modify a signed HTC .zip, the bootloader won't take it if it's S-ON :(
[HTC ChaCha] bedwa:
@#$%. I do feel this is is the start of an exploitable loophole. Now how to use it is the key.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
as qzfive said, if the rom.zip in RUU is modified it cannot be flashed, i tried to modify the rom.zip using zip utility to change the CID information once, but the flashing was not successful. Believe HTC uses some special technique to build the zip

if any one can direct to information on building RUU may be we can give it a try
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It has a digiotal signature that you are modifying by packing it with a normal zip program. Instead, use 7zip this way:

- extract the files you want to edit

- edit them (for text editor use notepad++ as others like normal notepad\word\wordpad are creating unneeded newline chars)

- open the zip with 7zip again and drag and drop the files you want to replace into 7zip.
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
I'm guessing it's only possible to modify the CID of the .zip this way? I got an idea of replacing recovery.img in the zip to a CWM.img, guessing it wouldn't work?

EDIT: I pulled the rom.zip from the 1.33.401.1 RUU and it wouldn't let me put my modified android-info.txt back into the .zip, 7zip gave me a "Not implemented/Operation not supported" error :/
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
7zip said "Not implemented"? Weird.. So you are simply using drag and drop, eh?
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
As a side note, remove the first 256 bytes of the file, which is the RSA signature (for example using HxD) to get a "proper" zip file. All modifications of the file will invalidate the signature anyway, you won't be able to flash it unless you're S-OFF or through an exploit.
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Yup, Drag and Drop gives the error "Not Implemented", and clicking the Add icon gives the error "Operation is not supported" :(

Funnily enough, WinRAR says "C:\Users\James\Desktop\PH06IMG.zip: The archive is corrupt" when trying to add files to it

I'm guessing HTC made their .zips pretty secure then :/
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
I've edited with 7zip and the signature was not invalidated. The files were then flashed.
[HTC ChaCha] rustynail1985:

[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
Please read step 2 completely...... here is what it says

Open command prompt, change your directory to ADB directory (usually the folder where ADB.exe resides).

In the command prompt type, adb shell

You should see ‘#’ at the prompt, if you see ‘$’ then you didn’t achieved temp root, redo step-1.

In the command prompt type

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

I have a Nexus S (stock) and want to know if there is a application that will locate files and folders that are leftover when you uninstall apps (similar to a registry cleaner in Windows). I found one for rooted phones but that doesn't help me.

Is fragmentation (within your phone's memory or sd card) a problem with Android? Is there an app for that?

How to reduce the number of home screen in HTC sensation?

Please teach me...;)
[HTC Sensation] rtimoff:
In Sense 3.5 ROM`s you can delete home screens
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Go to main home screen.

Either push home button again, or pinch to zoom out.

Long press and hold on screen you want to delete.

Drag it down to the delete bar.

Done.

P.
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Stock Sense 3.0 you can NOT remove home screens. Its annoying and dumb, I know. When you double tap home (or pinch zoom out) and long press on them in 3.0, it only gives you the option to re-order them, no remove option.

If you flash a Sense 3.5 based ROM then do the above steps you can re-order them as well as remove them.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbles D:
Hi all

My first post here. And unfortunately it's because I seem to have messed up badly.

I recently successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed Cyanogenmod 7.1.01.

Yesterday I wanted to upgrade to 7.1.0.2 and I went through the exact same steps as when I installed Cyanogen the first time. Everything seemed to go smoothly. But when booting the phone it began to boot loop.

I then tried using Flashtool to relock the bootloader so I could get it back to stock and start over. But Flashtool won't recognize the phone. I can get it into flash mode (blue led). And I've put the LT15.sin file in the loaders folder. I've tried using the two latest versions of Flashtool with no luck.

Then I tried using Fastboot to wipe the phone. I found a page on XDA I think, which had a command listed for doing so. Can't find the page now though.

It seemed to work, well, the command completed. But now when I try to install Cyanogenmod through ClockworkMod Recovery it doesn't work. It aborts and gives me this message:

"assert failed: getpropt("ro.product.device") == "LT81i" || getprop(ro.build.product") == "LT81i" (there's loads more. further down in the text it says "LT15i" - should I write it all?)

And then at the end it says E:Error in /sdcard/filename

I'm stumped. And pretty frustrated. I must have screwed up big at some point :(

If you guys could offer some help I would be very, very happy.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbles D:
Noted :)

The checksums are different with both downloads. 7.1.0.1 and 7.1.0.2.

What does it mean?

I'm not sure about kernel. I've just used the packages I've downloaded.

I'm new to all this so it's probably something obvious I've missed.

If yes then just redownload those files and check agen..then copy zip your sdcard and Check agen.

YES. Evry new relase includes new kernel. Flash it via fastboot and then wipe all and install that zip :)

But..... :(

Oh boy..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbles D:
So: apparently when I tried to update I hadn't flashed the phone with the new kernel. Which caused the bootlooping.

And then, somehow afterwards, I broke something which means that it won't install Cyanogenmod.

So... I managed to flash the phone and now the Cyanogenmod is installed again. But it still bootloops. I flashed the kernel from the 7.1.0.2 package and installed the 7.1.0.2 package afterwards.

Isn't this supposed to work? What can I do now?

My boot getting stuck got fixed after Wipe data/factory reset in CWm, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, - all three -then install illuminance. Tried that ? Starting from stock KJ3 no bootloaders.

Importantly: Can you boot with just Illuminance boog kernel (the one that comes wiht the ROM, no other kernel flashed)? I presume you cannot boot a fresh Illuminance install............if this is the case wiping as above should help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilbigdude1:
I finally got illuminance to install, and is working great.

this may seem like over kill but everytime I flash a new ROM I start from scratch and flash to stock and master clear and then build from therethis is the first time that I ever had any issues by doing it this way. usually I have it setup up in 10 to 15 minutes it seems to save any issues later down the road as far as being buggy.

Hi, I tried to install Illuminance 1.1, but I think the file is corrupted. I downloaded it twice, from different locations, and its the same zip file.

I tried to decompress it before installing it, just to check file consistency, but lots of files can´t be decompressed.

Anyone had this problem? If not, any way /any where to safely download it?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
In the Illuminance Rom Thread, in the OP, there is a link to IlluminatedOne's website, where u can find a good non-corrupted download and u will also find the installation instructions.

Not sure why u think u had a corrupted download ?? But u should b good to go once u get to the website.

As of this version 1.1 release, u should only be downloading the Illuminance Rom from said website.
