I'm also interested in unlocking my wildfire s(3 UK). Any solutions yet?

Thank you!
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
No, and i think noone will now bother with unlocking wfs since bootloader is unlocked, roms can be flashed... thats what developers wanted...
[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
try htcdev bootunlocker

you can then root your mobile

change rom

and everything

have s-on

stilll i have cwm , cm7.2 and having fun .. :D

go to htc dev go to bootloader and follow the simple instructions and you will have your device unlocked :D
[HTC Wildfire S] enklast:
well.. yes ofcourse, your are right..! Thanks for enlighten me!

Now I finally can decide to order that stupid SIM UNLOCK CODE.
[HTC Wildfire S] enklast:
Thanks :) Did just that!

Greetings all.

I have a HTC Tattoo still running with the original Android 1.6 that came with the phone. I am trying to install the latest CM7.1.0.1 but have run to a few issues due to how old the Android version is.

I had some issues here, but I was able to install Universal AndRoot and Superuser. So, the phone is fully rooted at this point.

Since the phone is running Android 1.6, Rom Manager Free will not install, since the current version does not support this version of Android. Therefore, I am unable to install ClockworkMod Recovery in this way.

I tried finding older versions of Rom Manager that support Android 1.6, but when I tried installing them, the message I got was "com.koushikdutta.rommanager could not be installed on this phone". I could not get past this...

So, I tried the manual way through adb, using Cyanogen wiki. Through this way, I am only able to get up to the point I try gaining superuser rights using the "su" binary provided. At this point, I get the following error: "su: permission denied".

My question is: is there any other way I can flash ClockworkMod Recovery?

Thanks in advance.
[Click General] xMankindx:
Hi all,

I am stuck with the same problem.

I used the one-click-root app provided in this forum -> worked.

but due to android 1.6 am not allowed to install the rommanager app.

and with ADB I am stuck- -> getting same error as above: su permission denied.

I hope anyone can guide me though the installation of the clockwork recovery.

thx

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update:

i think i am one step further now. i installed rommanager 3.0.1.7 (found in the internet), which installed the clockwork recovery.

when i go to "download rom" it says i need a newer version

i downloaded the rom manually, coppied to sd and selected in rommanager "install from sd"

system rebooted and showed my phone and a triangle (with power+home i come into a menu)

anyone can help me here to flash the rom?

[Click General] ulaikamor:
Hi again,

I finally have some time to try this again. But before I do anything, do I have to create the goldcard? Because the htc is already rooted, so I was thinking maybe I only need to perform the last part of it, which is installing ClockworkMod.

Thanks again!
[Click General] CoreWolf:
No, you dont need to create goldcard again
[Click General] ulaikamor:
Goldcard

Hello lemmymet,

You said I don't need to create the goldcard again. But I never created a goldcard... I have superuser through Universal Androot... unless this creates a goldcard automatically for you.

Regardless, the attempt to install only recovery failed. It gave an error saying it couldn't copy 'su' file, probably because there already is one.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again.

goldcard is needed only to overcome CID check

[CID - Carrier identifier, used in locking a phone to a specific carrier's SIM cards]

with goldcard you can flash unbranded RUU, so that you can get rid of mobile carrier specific junk (for example in my case orange junk).

and you dont need it for rooting and recovery flashing.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebear29er:
Hi,

I'm having some issues with old and new text messages combining. When I receive a message that is over the character limit for one (so is effectively 2 texts combined), the first half of the text is the new one and the second half is sometimes the second half of an old message. It gets very confusing when reading it, it doesn't happen to all messages and only seems to happen when I get texts form my girlfriend (although she is the only one who sends me long messages so that may be why!?).

I have had a little Google and it appears that their are other android devices that have had this issue. I cant seem to fins anything on here about it though so apologies if I'm starting a new thread for no reason - please redirect me. I am guessing it is a handset issue and not a Network issue. I am not sure it is caused my an app or what it is!? Does anyone else experience this issue and know a fix?

I have rooted 2.2 defy, system version: 34.9.6.1.MB525.T-Mobile.en.GB, Network: T-Mobile UK.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim_Pan:
maybe its just a delay.

sometimes i meet this issure as well.(Handset SMS on CM7nightly)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebear29er:
Unfortunately I don't think it is a delay as I already have the second part (old message) of message on my phone. I think it is the phone combining the messages due to an error/bug.

Anyone else have any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 1dayatatime:
I imagine if the NT is ever getting copy & paste, its be thro an OTA. Id imagine that 99% of you have blocked OTA and the 1% that hasn't are going to be mad when they lose their root.

I have OTA blocked, my revision set to 9.9.9. If they have an upgrade including copy & paste, are we going to be out of luck?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Deleted member 2870764:
ICS for the NT will probably include it, but until then, you're probably out of luck.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snooch6923:
copy and paste

I believe I was able to do so within Opera mini browser...download it and check it out to confirm. Still doesn't help with aweful email app though! Hope this helps somewhat.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Weo:
Yes, you can copy and paste with opera browser.

There are apps that have usable copy and paste... but I'm assuming you are talking about browsers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
I believe the OP is talking about cross-application copy and paste. We will have to wait for a custom ROM for that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I have been able to use copy/paste between applications. Sometimes it seems to work automatically (i.e. with a long-press, specifically from Youversion to QuickOffice), and sometimes I have to use Swype-V (Lastpass).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
I come to xda for informed discussion about a device and for device development. I don't know what has happened to these forums, but I do have a few humble suggestions:

1. If you don't have a prime / aren't expecting one / looking to get one / involved in development LEAVE. Go troll elsewhere. It has become too difficult to find useful posts because of all of the BS in this forum. The sheer volume of it is frankly shocking. I don't blame the mod because I know he mods several forums (including my old haunt the mesmerize forum) and you know probably has like a job and ****. Cleaning the amount of crap going on right now is enough to two full time jobs.

2. No offense-actually **** that- every offense intended- if you are debating between this and an iOS device, this is not the forum for you. I'm not saying don't get the prime. I'm sure its just as good for newbies as it is for others, but the very fact that you are considering an iOS device as a prime alternative proves to me that you are in the wrong place. I'm not saying the prime is free of defects or anything-it certainly has its quirks. But half the fun of Linux and open source is the quirks and that you can change anything about your device. Customization and quirks are at the core of Linux.

3. Notice the word developers in the URL of this site. I'm not a Dev, but I am an IT admin and do at least have a clue of what the **** is going on. Unless things have changed, this forum is for people who have a clue. If "#cat brain | grep -i clue" doesn't at least ring a bell than I might suggest finding a different forum to go newb around in. And its okay to be a newbie, just be a good newbie and read a fukton before you come on this site and start cluttering it up with BS.

4. For the love of all that is holy and good in this world, if you are posting about a topic, use the thread that already ****ing exists. Why are there 13,457,598,568 GPS threads. We get it already. It doesn't ****ing work very well. I am not interested in yet another screenshot of you GPS working or not working. Keep that **** in a single thread for those of you all that like that **** for whatever reason and let the rest of us who don't enjoy the GPS screenshot porn go about the rest of our reading. Are you all aware that there is a feature of this website where you can search and find similar topics? Do you not see the little suggestions when you start a new thread that are put there to avoid redundancy in threads? This goes as well for you tf-70005534 next model people and you wifi ppl whatever.

5. Lastly, I have a humble suggestion: the purpose of this lovely forum as I understand it is much like the forum in ancient Greece: for the free flow of useful information and to offer help and support to our fellow citizens prime. SO IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING INFORMATIVE OR HELPFUL GTFO.

/ rant off

I just couldn't stand it anymore. I can hardly stand to enter the general discussion forum anymore.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quietas:
Actually the forum owners realize that the forum itself has branched out far beyond simple development talk. There are reasons that there is a General, Q&A, Dev, and more for each device. People have questions, concerns, interest in accessories, things that are not appropriate for a strictly development forum. Thus the other subforums.

I you want enforced dev talk only, go to the dev forum. It's policed and threads are killed off that are not on topic.

On the flip side, there are a ton of whiners and complainers and those who complain about them.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
I agree with pistons, but I think we will have to wait for roms to start. That will weed many out.

Rich, just too heavy handed. I sort of agree with you, I am contemplating returning my prime for some of the valid points but also some of the negativity.

I almost think jerdog would be better wiping out this entire forum and not opening it up for like 72 hours for a cooling down period. Problem is, as much as some want to sweep this stuff under the rug, there are legitimate problems, admitted to by Asus. How crazy it has gotten, wow? It's gotten personal and when things get personal, nobody wants to be the one that listens

I drive a car but have no idea how to build a transmission..Whats your point?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mkjellgren:
In general I agree with the op. Could he have used a little less profanity? Of course, but that really isn't the point. The fact that a thread like this even has to exist says that something is hugely wrong with this section. And all you guys wonder why users and devs alike leave this site for less hostile forums. The same thing happened in the thunderbolt forum. The device was hyped beyond belief prior to launch, and when it was finally released it was plagued with problems, the abysmal battery life being the most *****ed about. The entire section filled up with battery threads and things got out of control. People got hostile and overly defensive and the trolls came out of the woodwork. The result was several of the main devs leaving for another site. Things have settled down in the tbolt section since and some of those devs have returned, but none of his happened until the trolls got bored and moved on to another device to ***** about. The same thing will happen with the prime. Eventually there will be new tablets to complain about and this section will be left to those who actually own a prime. Eventually we will be able to use this section as a hotbed of information on how to improve our devices, but until then this section seems to have turned into a dumping zone for GPS threads and people complaining and demanding things. It's quite sad really. I sure how we can come out of this ahead because the way things are going now isn't helping anyone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You all realize this is a commerce site, right? It's not a public service. The owner has a ton of costs in keeping the site up and offsets those costs (and hopefully makes a profit) through advertising. Therefore, the more users the better. Anyone's welcome to create a new site with different ToU if XDA's no longer meeting their needs. Good luck trying to pay for it and attracting the volume of devs and smart people that contribute to XDA.

XDA has grown over the years and is now the largest and most visited site for mobile technology discussion. It's quoted frequently in the press and, as proven by this very forum, helps hold manufacturers accountable (GPS expose, bootloader unlock). The general section is just that and with XDA coming up at the top of a Google search for newbies looking for answers it's going to become more and more mainstream. And as nice as it would be to discuss an issue once and bury it, each day that new people buy a device they are going to keep resurrecting the issue until it's resolved. Hopefully they'll do a search first.

There's a simple way to have a clean and happy front page. Manufacturers should release products that are finished when they're launched and work the way they're supposed to. That applies to everyone, not just Asus.

I have to chuckle a little bit. The OP has, what, 78 posts? Kind of a newb himself... This is the place where people come to learn, you are not expected to know everything, hence the questions. Some are lame but they are always answered one way or the other. I love this site, I learn everyday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] asicman:
LOL @ OP.

He himself is a hypocrite. Look at his post history. He created a thread on "reboots" when there are 13,457,598,568 reboot threads. The OP himself doesn't even know how to return his defective prime unit and can't read a return policy. Hes a total newb also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
I do alot more reading than posting, and my phone's developer community abandoned xda in favor of rootz a while back.

Edit: also, I think it's important to note that my thanks ratio to posts is much higher than yours, meaning when I do post, it is generally considered helpful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TrailorParkKid:
I see the post-count police are out today....

Honestly, how many posts you have are irrelevant. I have fewer than you, yet I've been around longer. The point is that I prefer to READ here as opposed to posting. Most of the points that I would bring up have already been discussed, so for that reason I prefer to SEARCH about things instead of posting the same question that has been asked 20 times already.

I agree with the OP, and honestly don't mind the profanity as it let's him get his point across.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
Look at the date of that thread please. It was regarding honeycomb and a seperate problem than all of the ics reboot threads. And no, I don't buy products from Best Buy very often, because generally speaking they suck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RJM77:
the posts on here that really irritate me are the ones where individuals feel the need to tell the world what they're going to do with their tablets. no one really cares if you're keeping your prime or returning it. they're unproductive and self indulgent.

2) "Should I Keep My Prime?"

Enlisting a forum of strangers as personal advisors is as bad as what you referenced, especially when there's 100's of pages of posts available to research the desicion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Where is no-thanks button?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Genobee:
I could understand where the OP is coming from but he must also understand where most of the "newbies" are coming from. If I got a product That doesn't work as described and the return date is expired, what would you expect them to do? And to top that off, The rushed ICE update has made some of these devices almost impossible to use. They have to turn somewhere for insight, they're sure not getting it from Asus.

If their wasn't so many defects with this product, then you wouldn't have a lot of newbies complaining.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
I agree with the content of the op.. but try not to let your emotions get to you and post an annoying rant. If you worded things more nicely and didn't offend so many people (even if its what you really want to say) then you will get better responses.

That being said, there really is to many threads in this general section about how crappy Asus is and how screwed over everyone who bought the prime was. Personally mine works fine and I couldn't be happier, and I rarely check general anymore because their is no useful information being shared.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoTeC:
OP, I congratulate you on your post to thanks ratio. You have picked up an additional 17 thanks with this totally worthless thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Super relevant. It's posts like this that ruin the xda experience for others. Now I don't remember talking to you, so I won't apologize. You are like a cyber bully? Lol. You're grounded lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tech Faded:
I understand your frustration but you also have to consider the frustration of others. One thing to think of that GPS is a general problem same thing goes for wifi. However people with the unknown serial bug come here to communicate to the huge community to see if they have the same problem as well. Secondly, the thing I get tired of seeing on this forum is rants about other rants... If you dislike the "Whining" then don't choose the whine about the whiners. There is no winning that way. Try contacting a mod and I'm sure eventually if you word the message right the post will be gone. Now you may be saying to yourself while you read my post will isnt he ranting right now? Short answer: Not really, no. I'm simply just giving my humble opinion on a rant. Nothing more and nothing less.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
The fact that you can't use search to find useful information for yourself is probably the same reason poeple post **** instead of searching. So....I guess you haven't been using it yourself.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Well you can find all sorts of problems here which I can't decide is a group of people really angry and flooding the forums or if it is a lot of people that. Are migrating here based on their problems.

There won't be a lot of solutions until Asus issues more update, or unlocks the boot loader so the debs can see the real potential. Only then will there be true confirmation (besides Asus statement of course.

Another question is why does it seem so many devices are dumping Tegra 2 for other processors, one example is the Motorola Atrix. Will this happen with the Tegra 3?
