[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Hi please could somebody help me, I have a Desire S which I got on contract from 02 with a 02 branded rom on there originally and hboot 0.98.0002.

I had S-off, 4ext recovery, upgraded to hboot 2.00.0002 and a custom rom installed.

I have flashed a offical RUU RUU_Saga_O2_UK_1.31.206.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.14_M_release_178935_signed.exe

and now I am stuck in hboot and it says **security warning** hboot version 0.98.000

I tried to flash the above o2 RUU again but it says bootloader version error, So I tried RUU 1.28, 1.47 and 2.10 with a gold card in the phone but the same error all the time.

I have also extracted the rom.zip from each of these and put it onto the goldcard renamed to PG88IMG.zip but then this says MAIN VERSION OLDER and will not flash.

Now I am really stuck on what I need to do, do I need to flash a 0.98.0002 hboot? as at the momment I have 0.98.000, if so how can I do this?

I have lost 4ext recovery, and back to S-On.

If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful.

Thank you in advance

Cheers

edit: I think the bootloader I currently have on the phone 0.98.000 is incorrect ? , it should be 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002? . As the hboot is S-ON is there anyway I can flash a hboot through using adb, or does it have to be S-OFF, if so is there anyway I can S-OFF in bootloader or fastboot alone, as I can't do anything else.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I think that the O2 RUU that you have used has an older hboot version (0.98.0000) than the version that was on your phone when you s-offed.

But with the Goldcard you should be able to flash it. So try another SDcard to create a goldcard, as far as I know not each one is suitable.

Do not try RUU for other brands/regions you may end up with a bricked device.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Hi thanks for your reply, I currently have 0.98.000 hboot on the phone now which is S-ON. My gold card seems to be working as it doesn't say any CID errors.

How can I tell if my device is bricked?

I can only get into hboot, and fastboot/stock recovery. The phone won't do anything else and I can't flash any rom as it says about the bootloader version, but on the bootloader it says **security warning** at the top. Is there anyway I can flash a newer hboot? or won't it let me as it is S-ON, if its S-ON will I be able to flash a hboot or even 4ext recovery to flash a rom?

If so how can I s-off just using bootloader and fastboot?

I thought goldcard is only to bypass the CID checks so you can flash a debranded RUU.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
It is not exactly clear: have you tried to extract the rom.zip from the O2 RUU, rename to PG88IMG.zip and flash in hboot?

Also you have to be completely sure that your version is the O2 one.

Follow the guide in my signature to make fastboot working on your PC.

Then connect your device to the PC while in the hboot. There should be 'FASTBOOT USB' written on the phone screen.

Then open a command prompt on your PC and type:

fastboot devices {your serial number should appear}
fastboot getvar all

Post here the output that is printed in the cmd.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Hi, I have done the fastboot commands you said and below are the numbers I got:

fastboot devices - serial number which came up is: HT15NTJ00403

fastboot getvar version-main: 11.10.401.4

Can you help me?

Do you think my phone is bricked?

Thank you for your help with this
[HTC Desire S] straian:
Try to put last rom.zip on sdcard with PG88IMG.zip name from version 2.10.401.8 RUU and maybe you will have new hboot 2.00.2002 and then have to unlock hboot from http://htcdev.com/.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Cannot tell that it's bricked but now your software version is 2.10.401.4.

So you have to use a European RUU with the same version or higher. Probably you have debranded your device without an intention to do so.

Try with the RUU. If this is not working maybe you can try to flash hboot through the fastboot.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Hi, I have tried RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe using the RUU on the laptop and tried extracting the rom.zip, renaming as PG88IMG.zip and flashing off sd card (goldcard), but the RUU said bootloader version error and flashing the PG88IMG.zip says main version older error.

There isn't a 2.10.401.4 version, but there is a

RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe

I would of thought the 2.10.401.8 should of worked?

also would I be able to flash a hboot being S-ON do you think?

I'm not sure how low my battery is also, If I plug it into the charger will it charge the phone on the bootloader do you know?

Thanks

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Ok so we have a nice mess here.

Your hboot and radio are still from the O2 RUU, but the main version changed to the European one. The cid is still O2 one (but with the goldcard it should not matter).

The security warning gives a chance that you are still able to have root.

So if you can enter the recovery you may be able to use adb as root.

Do the procedure, described here

If you can get the misc.img, after opening with Hex editor change the numbers to 1.31.206.1. Save the file, copy it to you SDcard and from adb flash it back:

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

Then try the O2 RUU again.

Do not make attempts to change the hboot yet. Try the above and post back

The phone should be charging when you connect it to your PC.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Hi there, I have tried adb devices but it doesn't come up with my device which is strange. Maybe because my device is S-ON?

Do you think if I took it to a mobile repair shop and had it jtagged to restore original software would do the trick?

thanks
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Both adb and fastboot commands are working on S-ON devices.

To use adb your device should be in Recovery mode (you can enter there from the hboot menu).

Of course you can bring it to a repair shop if you do not want to mess it yourself.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Hi, I have entered recovery mode but thats where it says **security warning** at the top of the screen in pink. I have tried adb devices in cmd prompt but it says list of devices but nothing is listed. any idea why this is?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Obviously adb is not working in Recovery on S-ON devices. Sorry for misleading. I have just tried on my device, the adb works while booted to OS but not in Recovery.

I am afraid that doing anything further can brick the phone completely and the repair shop is your best option.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
I can't get adb to see the device, fastboot will do though but won't flash hboot, it says remote signature fail.

Looks like im going to have to send the phone off to be J Tagged. I have found a shop that does this for £24.99 and they know there stuff.

But if anyone has anymore ideas please let me know.

Thank you amidabuddha for your help, I will keep you updated on any progress.

[HTC Desire S] poppy8x:
You can repair it in HTC services or S-OFF again by Xtc-clip (as my HTC before).
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Did the problem I have happen to you in the past also with the **security warning** ?

If so what did you do after s-off?
[HTC Desire S] poppy8x:
Yup, u can S-OFF your DS again by xtc-clip and then "security warning" is gone. But affter s-off by xtc-clip, u can't S-ON it. U can use custom rom only.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Sounds promising :o)

So did you s-off with xtc clip, then flash hboot to newer version, flash recovery (4ext or clockworkmod) and then flash a custom rom and all worked?
[HTC Desire S] poppy8x:
Yeah. All worked. Look at my sig.

A month ago, i had "sercurity warning" too (i run RUU 1.48). Gold card coudn't do anything. And then i s-off by xtc-clip (in 5 mins) :)

Sry for my english bad.

I'm trying to disassemble my Galaxy Note but don't get it. How does the second step work? How to "disjoint the hooks"? Ive been trying serveral hours now but nothing happens except for that I am damaging the plastic "metallic look" frame.

Doesnt work neither with the standard plastic opening tools nor with a credit card. Would like to see pictures or a video on how to do that.

Thank you!

Don't try to disjoint from back, whole black and gray part in the back are just 1 part actually. try it from front. i mean seperate the gray part from the front screen.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamajstro:
As I wrote above, I already have the Service Manual. However, it doesn't help, cause it only says disjoint it on different spots. There is no indication how to do that.

What do you mean by separating it from the front? Do you have a picture?

Thank you

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pachanka:
I've tried many roms since 1 year i have a desire HD.

But since 3 months i'm using MIUI rom, for 1 major reason : OTA update. They've developped a MIUI update tool that check new rom version and deploy it automtically on phone (with possibility of a full save) and with no data wipe.

Why developpers on customs roms doesn't use a program like that, maybe a generic tool that can be used on all roms. It's boring to update the roms, particulary if i need to do a full wipe :/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arknailed7754:
I'll second that motion but end of the day,they spend there time creating it for us without getting paid, so us taking the time to get the zip etc not that bad lol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pachanka:
the way maybe need to come to an independant developper not a rom cooker :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRa1SeR:
I dont know if I am right but the custom ROMs do not provide the OTA update feature because they are regularly changing base builds. So updates will be larger and more complex to handle. That would also mean a lot of server bandwidth because there are people (like me) who change ROMs very frequently.

Simply issuing ROM zips is hassle free. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myk3916:
i want to save my stock firmware and nand and build a restore for my tablet, and infact share it with the world... with a brand new stock coby kryos 4th gen tablet... and my wife has the same one, so i have 2... i searched google, and no hits came up for this specific device cause its somewhat new for the holiday season...

the pourpose here is to backup the stock tablet and provide information on how to restore... but how hard is this gonna be? and setup information provided in a specific order so data cannot be misunderstood.

first things on the list:

Provide android_usb driver, adb and VCT, fwnd info (confusion here is critical not to screw up!)

backup stock universal nand (for rescue restore)

backup stock kernel

backup stock recovery.img

backup stock boot.img

backup stock firmware

backup stock fwnd rom (for fresh stock install)

backup stock kernel drivers (for building custom kernel, chipset specific)

(ok, i learned most of that last night trying to restore my device, probly some stuff missing, but... that is a good start... if anything is missing let me know.

eventual objectives to accomplish:

super1boot root instructions

clockwork recovery boot mod (with recovery-install.sh info) instructions

market fix instructions

build custom rom

overclocking kernel/rom

and more!

i probly left a ton of stuff out.. yet again... i know some of this stuff, but need assistance... anyone able to help? im a pretty good coder and know a bit about android... but im not mister know it all,,,,

how hard does this project sound...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petergrfn:
I have a nook color and I currently use it as my primary in-dash Navigation using external GPS receiver and bluetooth gps provider.

I recently got a nook tablet, Since there is no CM build for this one, Wondering is there is any way to get the bluetooth working?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Indirect:
Not right now, no. There are the files but the issue is that we don't have a way to activate it *I think we might need atleast a kernel module.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
External GPS?

I have a "spare" Nook Color, and would like to do what you do. Questions:

What "external GPS receiver and bluetooth gps provider" do you use?

I assume you are using a CM7 build to enable GPS, correct?

Do you know of a bluetooth solution that runs on the B&N v1.3 software?

What navigation program are you using? I have a friend running Co-Pilot (on an Acer A500), but despite his claim that it almost never crashes, every time I'm in his car and he lets me fiddle with it, it crashes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petergrfn:
@DeanGibson

I currently use Qstarz BT-Q818 66-Channel Bluetooth GPS Receiver (Look it up on Amazon, Its little pricey and overkill for navigation. But very very very accurate, fast and weeks worth of battery)

Yes I am using CM 7 Stable version

Bluetooth on B&N software: No . There is no way to detect hardware under stock settings. I don't think they have drivers installed in stock version.

I am using Co-pilot. I also tested route 66. Both are reasonably stable. I never had crashes. But sometimes bluetooth goes into sleep and won't return. All I need to do is toggle off and on bluetooth.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
More questions ...

What have you found to be the max reliable bluetooth range for the Nook in this configuration?

Also, I can't tell from the pictures how it mounts. Does it have a visor clip?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] petergrfn:
I tested only upto 1.5 meter so far with no issues. I didn't get chance to test to fail for bluetooth range.

I have a small compartment on top of dash board. I just left it in there. No visor clip or adhesive strips(it doesn't come with any). Based on my testing, it works fine without direct view to sky, then i guess it may use up more juice.

Be sure to use BN 2 amp car charger/compatible for quick charging in car. Other car chargers also work.. But your drain rate is more than charge rate when display is on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ccl13:
I would say on most of my mobiles with BT, I can use my BT headset within 10meter of direct sight. Some of them is better when there are walls between but varies a little.

I don't know about visor clips sorry.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xshawk:
Nook color Bluetooth range is way less than normal mobile

Ccl13, the nook color was not intended to use Bluetooth so the hardware is not optimized for it... The best I managed was just over 2 ft.

On my phone or my iPad I get at least 10ft usually more depending on line of sight and what is in the way. (at one point I was listening to a podcast from 40ft before my headset lost connection.

Hi I've searched in the forum but I can't find any similar with sensation,

my question is does Overclock saves battery? or the Underclock do?

I'm using this rom and kernel at my signature.

sorry noob :/
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
underclock saves battery, cpu uses less power when running at lower frequencies
[HTC Sensation] Fata7ity:
Really?.. some says that overclocking will save battery because less work for cpu.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Have a look at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

It pretty much sums up what I believe to be the effect of Underclocking & Overclocking, of course I might just be wrong.
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Depends entirely on how you use your phone.
[HTC Sensation] one80oneday:
Has anyone done real tests? I've always heard that underclocking keeps the phone awake longer for processes, overclocking uses more energy but completes processes quicker and therefore the CPU can sleep faster.

Just got a refurbished unit Samsung focus.

I have a 16 gb card in it that worked fine in the other unit.

I installed my update normally (on rogers samsung focus) and it is now restarting randomly.

I may try to reset it with out the memory card and see if that fixes it. I'll let you know if it does, which would make my issue unrelated to yours.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Looks like a card issue. What version of the OS are you on?
[Focus General] dudedud:
Not a card issue, i removed the card and tried it.

Still keeps restarting, popped the card back into my old samsung focus and no issues with restarts , but that one has a broken proximity/light sensor. Guess the refurb is going back to samsung x_x

Both phones are running 7.10.7740.16

Seems like Samsung just sucks at making hardware :P

EDIT: Or i just have really bad luck with electronics...
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
maybe, just maybe the last sentence is closer to the truth... However, if you "know" that, you should avoid buying refurbs or "questionable" electronics :)

I never had any issues with second-hand Samsung phones (even after a year) or with new ones. And I can't say I'm really lucky :D
