I just updated my firmware to XXKI3 and it runs fine. Only problem is that when I start the app DLSR controller, which I've use often on earlier firmwares, I get a message saying "your device is not compatible with usb host mode".

I've used usb host mode before and it is well known that the Galaxy SII supports it, so what is going on?

Would apreciate some help on this!

Hey Guys, can anyone help. I started following the instructions but forgot to put the zip on the phone prior to, I was planning on flashing the Eagleblood ROM. I was thinking I could mount USB from recovery connect to the computer then get the zip over.....that's not working apparently. I only have internal strorage and no SD. Right now I can't boot up, when I hit reboot it just gets stuck at the T-Mobile screen. Can anyone help me get past this?

One last thing I forgot to add as I'm sure someone would say well just do a restore. When I rooted with the method I was never able to do a nandroid or backup through recovery as I kept getting an error again because I only currently have internal storage. I am running the v5.0.2.6 recovery with stock ROM prior to this current issue.

Thanks

First, wrong section to start Thread. This should be in q&a or a response to the thread whose instructions you where following. We have no idea what instructions you are taking about. Please read the stickies and follow the rules. This is not a development post in any form or fashion.

Second, (and i'm only answering cause.... I don't know why, you won't help yourself, not sure why anyone else should) USB storage is fine, use that function in cwm and flash from internal.

If you still can't figure it out, buy an sd card. 2gb for 5 bucks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
I bought it about 3 weeks ago, and everything has been working fine on it.

However, since root voids the warranty, I'm worried if something goes wrong hardware wise after the sucessful root.

So what could break down on it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Rooting will not break your phone, unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S is easy. And it you need to have it serviced/repaired, just unroot. Warranty unvoided.

The only way you'll break your phone is by not reading and researching what you're doing. Before modifying or flashing anything, always make a backup and know what you're doing (and why). Read thoroughly, and if there's something in the directions that you don't understand, research until you do.

It's highly unlikely that you'll experience hardware failure and not be able to unroot before taking it in.

On the other hand, don't root just because. Know why you're doing it and what you hope to achieve. Rooting because it seems like the "cool" thing to do is dumb. I'm not suggesting that you're doing that, just making a statement.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Here we go again :rolleyes: (sorry :p). Nothing can go wrong... if you follow all instructions carefully and correctly. Also not purposefully or foolishly flashing or installing something which you are not supposed to. Rooting... or Android in general is not for the weak hearted. Android was made to be customized and maxed out in performance (at least to me :D). If you are going to use it, make good use of it. If you are still worried, just settle with how your device is or be brave and take control of your device.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] KBS720:
One of the FAQs:

12. Can both SIM cards receive calls at the same time?

As mobile phones are currently only built with one transmitter and receiver, it isn’t possible to have both SIMs active at the same time. However, our ‘autoswitch’ function enables you to switch between your two SIMs at a timed interval, to notify you if you’ve missed a call, received a message, etc.

So the answer is no :mad:

The only samsung phone i know that can do this is Ch@t 222
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] galaxyms:
The website says it fits but I don't trust them. I can't see how it would physically fit in a Galaxy S as the sim card slot facing the wrong way, in which it would mean the adapter orientated on the long side across and this is wider than the phones width.

Unless anyone can send a picture of their galaxy s (not II) with the magic sim fitted successfully and working I don't want to chance it. I even tried looking at market stalls that used to sell twin sim adapters in the hope I could see if one physically fitted, but they say they don't sell them anymore. Either they don't work on 3G or they have no market for them now is what they said.

£18 is a lot of money to throw if it doesn't fit/work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] csalt:
Well my girlfriend has a standard galaxy S so I can check it on there for you if I get chance. Not sure I can be bothered to take pictures etc but I'm happy to confirm weather it fits and works or not.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Kueber:
/Update: Rooting went fine. Updated this thread - maybe it helps if somebody wants to root his/her 2.3.3 DZ and is being overwhelmed by guides etc.

Hi there!

I finally decided to root my Stock 2.3.3 Desire Z - I've read a lot, but I'm still confused when it comes to certain steps of rooting. I just wanted to get "green light" by someone who certainly has more experience in rooting etc.

First I read this ADB guide to get familiar with it. I certainly didn't understand everything about it, but the basic stuff should be clear.

Next step is downgrading my phone. I want to use this guide as mentioned in the HTC Vision wiki.

Which raises the first question: What's with that post, which Desire Z users should read. I don't really see the connection to the guide I want to use - it's stated that one should replace psneuter with fre3vo in step 4. But which step 4? Little confused.

So which step is different to execute for me?

No step is different, the guide is up to date and can be used with every device stated in its headline.

Next steps should be clear.

So after downgrading I planned on sticking with the Vision wiki - seems that every step is described clearly, even for an ADB dummy.

If everything went well, I planned to flash the Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 which requires a "full wipe".

So it's nonsense to save application settings via titanium backup in the first place, because I want to set Virous 2.0.0 as backup-rom anyway? Are there files I should backup - besides contact info etc.?

Application settings can be restored if you stick to the downgrade guide, only system settings/stuff should not be restored.

And am I missing anything important? Are there other (better) ways of rooting my device?

No

Tiny, rather unimportant last question - is there a way to save my savegames to just load them later if needed? Since the "full wipe" wipes everything (?), I don't see how I could save them.

See above.

Looking forward to be enlightened!

Greetings!
[G2 and Desire Z General] whpsnp:
I followed the downgrading guide you linked to in order to downgrade from 2.3.3 and it worked perfectly for me (and many others, it seems). The guide uses fre3vo so I think you are safe to just follow the steps described in it.

I used SMS Backup & Restore and Angry Birds Backup free, both worked a treat. Other than that I restored everything from scratch.

It's probably a good idea to do a nandroid backup after rooting the stock froyo ROM but before flashing something else. Just in case.

Good luck :)

Yeah, and you probably should have posted this in Q&A ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kueber:
Eventually it would have been better, yup, but then I considered this thread more like a list of steps you want to go through to root your Desire Z 2.3.3 successfully - maybe it helps someone.

Anyway, thanks for your answer. I'll try that SMS Backup app.

Now I have to gather some informations about that "nandroid" backup - I've read it several times, but still I don't know what exactly it does / its benefits are.

If anyone would like to give a brief explanation, feel free! :)

Greetings

/edit: Well, a nandroid backup can be done with clockwork recovery, which installation is kinda part of the rooting process. There's one thing I don't understand yet - how to load that backup if it's needed?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Part of the rooting process gives you a better recovery partition that you can boot into, where you can flash roms, backup/restore ROMs and has some other tools,this is independent of the ROM you flash and is a safety net when messing with your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kueber:
So, essentially, as you already mentioned, that means I got safety tools that work independent. For example - if everything goes wrong and I have a copy of that nandroid backup somewhere, I could easily adb push that onto my sd card and flash it? Or has this backup to be on my sd card all the time, because in certain cases the sd-card is not mountable?

Just want to make sure that I understand what I'm doing..
[G2 and Desire Z General] whpsnp:
You don't have to have the nandroid backup on your SD card at all times. You can do a backup, copy it to your computer and keep it there if you need the space on your SD card for daily use. There is also the possibility to keep multiple backups of different ROMs if you wish to change UI more often.

Whatever your needs, you should at least keep one backup from a stable setup. If anything goes wrong you can copy it back to your SD card (if it is not already there), boot into recovery (volume down + power) and choose backup/restore and restore your backup. Everything will be exactly as it was when backing up - very convenient :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kueber:
Everything went fine, updated thread - maybe it helps someone.

Thanks again!

[G2 and Desire Z General] artur-x:
look, I don't want to downgrade my system.

I want to root 2.3.3. is this possible ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] whpsnp:
You can't root 2.3.3 directly. In order to root you need to first downgrade to 2.2 and then root. Afterwards you can choose to install a rooted 2.3.3 stock ROM, a custom ROM with 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 depending on what you choose. Or you can try out one of the ICS alphas.

Does anyone know if there is ANYWAY under the new 20 month upgrade policy if at anytime there is a way to get a reset granted?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
I was able to get one when I bought my epic. I have been a sprint customer since they merged with nextel. My girlfriend and I both had separate premier status accounts for years. We decided to merge accounts and get her grandmother a phone on our plan. I had 2 months to go untill a 12 month full discount was due for me. The lady at the store told me we could merge accounts and still get an epic in 2 months at full discount. When I returned to the store two months later, they told me a sub account can only get an upgrade price after 22 months or something like that. I called sprint and told them the story and they allowed me the $200 price for an epic instead of $500.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Due to financial restructuring Sprint is in lockdown. Executive services even claim they can not reset upgrades any more. I spent many hours arguing with them due to loss of business from Airave failures caused by their software upgrades. Sent BBB complaints, letters to Hesse's office...nothing. They would not even change my account from 22 months to the new 20 months. This does not take effect until after October and after your 22 month upgrade. New and renewed contracts from mid October become eligible for 20 month instead of 22.

I have to post here because they won't allow me to reply in the main chat. So I hope anyone reading this can answer my question or transpose it into the main thread.

Sometimes I like to turn off my phone, plug in the USB charger, so that it charges faster.

After the tweak, when I turn off the device and then plug in the USB charger, it wakes up the ddevice into full operation mode. This happens even if the phone is plugged in at the same of shut down. It'll just "restart".

If I remember, before it would show a battery icon initially, then continue to charge while the screen powers off.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incoherent:
Hello!

I recently purchased an HTC HD7 (T-Mobile version) and my goal is to make it completely free using Wi-Fi only. Google Voice offers free text messaging, and I can receive voicemail in written form in my email. But I would like to be able to make or receive calls while on Wi-Fi.

The Google Voice apps do nothing to achieve this goal because it still requires the app to call my number to route the call (unfortunately there is not any service with free incoming calls in the USA that I know of), and ultimately I still have to pay for my minutes.

I downloaded an app called MobileVOIP in the Windows Marketplace but I just don't understand it honestly. I signed up for it, but then it had me sign up for one of a few dozen other services? I don't know which one to choose, I just chose one..it says its free calls to the USA..but I have to pay to make a call to the USA? It makes no sense to me...

TL;DR - How do I make my HTCHD7 make a voice call over Wi-Fi without ANY T-Mobile Sim Card inserted. What is the cheapest way to do this?

Quick side note - If anyone knows of a GSM based service which offers free incoming calls that could work on a T-Mobile HTCHD7, that is really cheap (like 10 bucks a month?) That would be cool too!

If you have unlocked Mango, you could download Tango here. You can also make Videocalls with it (1st generation devices doesn't have front-facing camera but you can use the primary one if someone wants to see you haha) and also download the app for PC or Netbook.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incoherent:
I have 7.5, I did all the updates last night.

But okay, so to clarify, outside of unlocking it. To use Tango I literally do the following...

1. Turn on phone.

2. There is no sim card of any kind in the phone

3. I connect to wi-fi

4. I open tango app (and may or may not pay a fee, not to worried, because im sure it is cheap)

5. I dial a number

6. It rings, and they answer and we all have a happy time.

If that is literally what it does, than yes I want to do that!! Thanks for the info. Any links you can quickly direct me to in order to unlock the HD7 easy?
