you need to flash hboot to original.

First, go to fastboot and install shipped rom version 2.3.3

and than go to first process to flash hboot. After that you can update your software to 2.3.5.

It seems I'm having an issue with the "Date Picture Taken" attribute with synced photos. What's weird is that all the photos taken prior to Sept 26, 2011 have the attribute and show up in my synced folder on my desktop. Any photos synced after that date is missing the attribute. This seems to coincide with my update to Mango.

There are no settings on the phone to save this information other than location information and I would really like this attribute for photos. I hope this wasn't one of the 500 new features implemented in the Mango update! :mad:

Tried searching here and MS support but found nothing. Anyone else notice this and have you come up with a fix or is this another damned Dell Venue Pro specific issue? I'm on Win XP SP3 (I know...)

Does anyone know the apk that tmobile uses to sync your contacts from the network to the phone??? Is there any way to download it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohsinraza:
Hi all. I'm new to this world so asking a, may be silly, question.

I play with roms every now and then. Change my rom from one to another in couple of weeks. I found STOCK HBOOT OFFERS LESS INTERNAL SPACE THAN CM7 OR CM7r2 hboots for custom roms.

I haven't experimented yet with these things. Can someone tell me how to convert my hboot to cm7 or cm7r2? I haven't done anything with my hboot so I suppose I'm on stock hboot. Difference between cm7 and cm7r2?

Any drawbacks of doing this? And will be able to flash app2sd and data2ext normally as I do now?

Any help would be highly appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loler90:
The difference is that the hboot versions offer you a diffrent internal partition layout

you can look them up http://alpharev.nl/ <-- there

also you can download it from there

You can flash it via fastboot or via the PB99IMG.zip method or you simply use android flasher(recommanded, it´s selfexplaining)

Is there any chance of bricking my phone?

When I switch between roms sometimes I get stuck in boot loops. *no worries*

I just pull out the battery. Reboot in recovery and restore nandroid backup.

In this case I'm cautious because if I'm stuck where would I go because I'm playing with hboot. I think I won't be able to access recovery in that case, right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loler90:
You can brick it if your downloaded hboot.img is not downloaded correcly

If you are in a bootloop you simply go into fastboot and flash the correct table(hboot) and flash your ROM

and yes you will be able to boot into recovery(if youre in a bootloop)

If your download was corrupt or you pulled the cable in the seconds during the flashing period then you'd most probably brick your phone, but during my time on this forum I have never heard of any such misfortunes occurring..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jakedude2011:
The nandroid needs to have the HBOOT you had, when you made that nandroid.

So if U had STOCK HBOOT when making a nandroid wich U like to go back to, then flash STOCK HBOOT - BEFORE - U nandroid back.

So for now... flash the HBOOT U want, and then right after the ROM.

And if U wanna restore your nandroid, then flash STOCK HBOOT, and then restore nandroid.

AND remember... U CAN NOT FLASH RADIO IF U ARE ON CM7R2 HBOOT,

that will brick your phone.

So flash RADIO before, OR do the procedure with ADB if U are already on CM7R2.

MD5 SUM check

Alright so I read about the md5sum check got the software to check it as well, even though it didnt match, I still managed to get the cm7/r2 hboot & flash insertcoin. I want to know how exactly we know if md5sums have matched cos i want to change my rom & i want to know how i can check if the rom is compatible with the cm7/r2 hboot.

Insertcoin freezes a lot on my phone I have no idea why.

Lots of questions on this post from me, someone please answer. need help :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohsinraza:
This is very awkward if you still managed to flash cm7r2 even though md5sum didn't match.

I haven't tried it yet. Will give a try tomorrow.

Every rom has mentioned which hboots are compatible. You can check it from there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You do realise... the point of an md5 match is so that you know the thing that is uploaded.. is exactly the same thing that you downloaded... so... when it matches "hooray lets flash away"... when it doesn't "holy mother of god get the hell of my computer"... you sure you used it right?

@mohsinraza

you can flash it but it only makes sense if you want to flash a ROM which needs this hboot version or is working better with it(i.e. more appdata)

if youre on stock ROM you shouldnt do it

just make a nandroid backup falsh the hboot and then falsh your new ROM

Hi, I'm just wondering what would happen if I install Cyanogenmod 7 on stock hboot? Is it really necessary to flash different hboot, because the rom is smaller than a rooted stock rom for Desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You would waste a lot of internal memory. CM7 uses less than 145 MB on /system and gives you 287 MB space for installing apps (/data partition). With Stock Hboot you have 250 MB for /system (so nearly 100 MB wasted, unused space on /system) and only 150 MB space for installing apps.

With CM7 Hboot you do not have to use A2SD (which is not officially supported by CM7), because you might have enough space. With Stock Hboot you nearly must have to use A2SD to get enough space for installing apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoranhr:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djghostie:
I don't think its a case of you can't flash if there is a mismatch I think its more the fact that you SHOULD NOT use any file that shows any error whilst doing the md5 check.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
This is not a big problem which roms, but a VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH HBOOTS. FLASHING A CORRUPTED HBOOT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE! In this case it will not be any more than an expensive paperweight!

In your situation I recommend to wipe everything (even /system, which does not get wiped if you are using the factory reset option in recovery), re-download the rom, check md5 and if they match, flash rom.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Lol oh dear
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveRichardson:
Md5sum is not some sort of compatibility checker. (I get the impression that you thought "compatible" ROMs and hboot tables will have MD5s that match one another's to indicate their compatability?)

What they actually are:

MD5 hashes are a file "serial number" that people can use (with a program like md5sum) to verify a file downloaded correctly, and that nothing got lost/corrupted in the process of bouncing around servers, satellites, fiber, wire, wi-fi, whatever (going from whatever server hosted the file, to your computer at home)

If I host ANY type of tile (not just an Android ROM), I can also post its MD5, which basically means, "hey, if you guys download this file, run md5sum and if it gives you this exact MD5 hash, you have the exact same file as me.

People don't worry about checking MD5s on movies, music, Word docs, or whatever else they download because

a) almost never does anything go wrong

and,

b) it doesn't matter if it does, you can just download it again.

We check MD5s when it comes to ROMs because they're both large and VERY important to get right. (MD5s will match 99.9% of the time, but the consequences of using a corrupted ROM download could be time-consuming).

My point is: the ROM you flashed (with an "unmatching" MD5) was almost certainly just fine.

Edit for future reference on how to check MD5 sums(again, it sounds like the ROM you flashed downloaded just fine, so you're okay):

Download md5sum (the program) from the link bortak posted earlier

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=810120&d=1323382885

Now, download the insertcoin ROM of your choice:

http://insertcoin-roms.org/htc-desire/download

After you download the file, run md5sum on it, and it should give you a checksum that matches the checksum baadnewz posted.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Hello!

Many users have reported excessive battery drain and/or/due to intermittent loss of signal using the latest basebands.

I have been trying different basebands myself and found that baseband -36 gives the best combination in battery life and signal reception.

However, there are libraries in /system/lib that are related to baseband and, in my trials,

it seems that they made a difference in how the baseband was functioning in a different firmware than .368 (in which it initially shipped).

In other words, I've simply come to the conclusion that each baseband needs its appropriate libraries.

UPDATE for people asking which is the "best" baseband:

And now, here are the patches flashable in CMW recovery:

DOWNLOAD THE PATCH for -36

(It will NOT change your baseband!!!

It will only flash baseband's -36 libraries in your system.)

DOWNLOAD THE PATCH for -64

(It will NOT change your baseband!!!

It will only flash baseband's -64 libraries in your system.)

INSTRUCTIONS: Of course you need to be on STOCK SE ROM, on baseband -36 or -64* and on any other firmware other than .368 and .062.

Place the patch zip in your sdcard, boot into CMW, flash it, reboot and enjoy! :)

Works for Arc and Arc S. Tried it on .042 and .058 ROMs.

Even better instructions, by DooMLoRD:

* Here is baseband -36, flashable ftf for FlashTool.

DOWNLOAD baseband -36 (thanks to erwin929)

If this file doesn't work for you, kindly find baseband -36 elsewhere.

* Here is baseband -64, flashable ftf for FlashTool.

DOWNLOAD baseband -64

If this file doesn't work for you, kindly find baseband -64 elsewhere.

NOTE: Test the new libraries for

at least 1 day

before reporting,

in order to have more thorough proof of the improvement or the lack of it for that matter.

Simply booting after flashing the patch and seeing less signal bars doesn't mean anything by itself.

After running your phone for several hours on battery you can see the battery graph,

in the About Phone section, and check for signal strength, signal loss, etc.

Mirros For Baseband Files:

Cheers!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:

Yes, of course you are, because you just flashed the patch.

The ftf file is not an either/or situation, you want to change baseband, you flash it.

And if you are on baseband -36, you need to apply the patch.

I dont think this works. I tried flashing the tft and all it does is says device connected and tft select then it doesnt say if its flashing it or anything. After waiting it just says device disconnected.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
step 1:

flash baseband FTF via flashtool

step 2:

boot device and go into recovery

step 3:

while in recovery mount USB storage and connect device to PC

step 4:

copy the patch flashable (update.zip) to sdcard

step 5:

unmount sdcard via PC & also via recovery menu

step 6:

flash this patch (update.zip) via recovery

step 7:

reboot and enjoy!!

u can skip step 3 to 5 if u already have the patch update.zip on sdcard

[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Guys, let me make this even more clear to you (I'll at least try):

1. This thread is mainly about the PATCH.

The said patch is a .zip file flashable with CMW recovery.

It will NOT change your baseband

.

It will flash baseband's -36 libraries in your system.

2. The ftf I posted is baseband -36.

It will change your baseband to -36 after you flash it with FlashTool.

It works for me

.

If it doesn't work for you, find baseband -36 elsewhere.

3. If you feel that running baseband -36 on a different firmware libs gives you stable results, just ignore this thread altogether.
