[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashuonweb:
hi friends..

while trying to rooting my htc desire through unrevoked3...

i am getting an error

"error: failed to get root. is your firmware too new?"

like this..

can anybody plz help me

why this thing is happening??

i am using official android 2.3 version on my desire

any suggestion plz
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikD.:
When you start your phone with Vol- & Power, whats is displayed on the white screen? Somewhere something like PVT4 maybe? If so, you can't install the "standard" recovery which comes with unrevoked3.

So what you got to do is:

1. Downloaf AmonRa v2.0.1 (from here for example: http://www.brutzelstube.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img

2. In unrevoked choose the menu File/Custom Recovery and after that choose the img file

3. connect your phone via USB

Worked for me as well a few months ago.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmitchc:
I had the same problem with unrevoked. I used revolutionary, and it worked great.

visit revolutionary(dot)io

I used this in conjunction with a factory reset, which wiped me back to 2.1.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PreScoper:
Use revelolutionary. Its a tool for instant s-off, root and custom recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesXY:
Had same problem with Unrevoked, resolved it by downgrading my system using some older RUU update. But in that time I didn't know Revolutionary - using Revolutionary is definetly much easier than downgrading whole system.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PreScoper:
Unrevoked works for 2.2 but not for 2.3. Furthermore, it does not give s-off and flash custom recovery (CWM).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
This a solution for the MISC-Errors when starting Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM). If one can start CWM, it means the root process with unrevoked started and finished successfully. But here the root process can't even be started, so your solution won't work.

@ashuonweb:

As PreScoper mentionend, use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access for your phone. But read documentary page very carefully before you do anything!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashuonweb:
@ all...

thanx to all..

my problem solved by using revolutionary...

again millions of thanks to all above..

I've just unlocked the bootloader of my wildfire s. But when I boot into HBOOT it says

Hey everyone I thought I would take the chance to tell everyone about a new emulator from Samuel Blanchard that is coming out! It is called Sonic's Jewels 7 it is a Master system/ Game Gear emulator! We have submitted it to the Marketplace and hopefully it passes certification! it should be out within 6 days! Check here http://www.wpcentral.com/sega-gamegear-master-emulator-way-windows-phone-marketplace and our facebook page for the latest info! https://www.facebook.com/WarioJewels7

Edit: SJ7 has been released onto the marketplace! Get it here! http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/5031fb24-830a-40e5-b756-f08395775c87

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DavidinCT:
There was some great master system games/Game gear (Phantasy star, one of my all time fav games) and there was even a version of Sonic for the master system (if you have the complete cart it's worth some good $$, they are pretty rare).

Personaly I would love to see a Genesis Emulator more but, NES is just getting complete now (vNES light runs awsome now my my 1st gen device) NES/Master system are on the same level 8 bit.

So Next gen should be SNES and Genesis. You also run into a problem, more buttons are not easy to do on a touch screen.

I do look forward to testing this version, as long as it's running at full speed with sound on a 1st gen device then I would be something I am am interested in.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Badcam3:
SJ7 is on the marketplace and is running very well on First gen devices http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/5031fb24-830a-40e5-b756-f08395775c87

Is a GBA emulator totally impossible in WP7?

GPSP, a GBA emulator for Symbian S60 v5 on my old Nokia 5530 worked pretty well...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Samuel Blanchard:
With sound you'll loose one or two frames (depend of the game and your device) but it's always playable and much more immersive :)

I've making some test with a GBA emulator. it works but it is very slow. You must understand that "normal" Apps and Games on WP7 running on a virtual machine and not access directly the CPU. This is a bottle neck to develop apps who needs all the power of CPU.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DavidinCT:
Again, When will the update with the sound be out ? Can I expect it in a few days or a few weeks ?

Also, can you get your skydrive support to sync game saves too ?

How long is this going to take ?????

Wish they had a version we could sideload, I did pay for it.(just want it today)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Seketh:
I understand, but can't you also offload some of the work to the GPU? I'm just wondering, hope you can manage a working GBA emulator on WP7!

Also, if I could make a recommendation, controls would be much better if they were dynamically placed in relation to the position of the fingers.

A perfect example of what I'm talking about are the controls in the Xbox Live "Z0MBIES (on the ph0ne), the "Relative Controls" option in the settings. I can't play without that option, and Sonic's Jewels would be much better with that setting!

Sega ... complaining about copyright on something so old ...

Shame on you Sega, I had Game Gear, Megadrive, 32X addon, Saturn when I was a kid ... how disappointing ... such a delusion ...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DavidinCT:
I had all the Sega systems too...but...

Copyrights are copyrights, you pay big money to keep them your property. You have rights to royaltys when someone uses it.

Notice all the Mario and Sonic games on the DS/Wii, Sega kept the copyright alive by doing that. If he name it Alexx Kidd Jewels or something, he might not of had so much trouble.

The options here are

1. Rename the proudct within guidlelines of Sega (but I know the frown on emulators)

2. Release it as a sideloading app.

I did pay for it and I do support it but, if you can't sell it, why not think of releasing it here. At least the pubic can have a shot at it.

I just hate the fact that if I have to reset my phone for any reason, or upgrade to another phone, I lose this and there is no way to get it back. :(

I don't want to advocate piracy or anything, but the xap file is still online in the Zune catalog. (1.2) Hopefully they'll be back after a re-branding, but it does seam like we would have to re-buy it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imprezzion:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a way of making the Arc use Hardware decoding for MKV video.

I've tried every last tip google can give me and every single HW ACC supporting media player in the market but they ALL fail to either enable HW and default to SW or just crash all together when trying to play MKV files.

MP4 files (i.e. Youtube 1080p via WiFi) run perfectly fine with HW decoding on MX Player only if I try to watch a 720p/1080p MKV file, mostly TV shows and movies, it stutters like mad and the audio lags behind on whatever player I grab. Some players work better then others and MX player performs the best but still unwatchable.

I'm running a Xperia Arc with the CM 7.2.0 FXP052 ROM and Kernel OC'd @ 1612Mhz. On stock speed it's MUCH worse but the kernel doesn't go higher then 1.6Ghz nor do I think the phone can handle anything more then that without messing with the voltages.

So, is there any way to make it run HW ACC mode for MKV or am i and the rest of the Arc users just screwed?

You can smoothly run H/W accelerated mkv 720p videos and other formats on your smartphone using Dice Player or BS player. These players support H/W ACC for mkv,avi,flv and others.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafu997:
I use Dice player to play mkv videos but not all mkv videos can be played i H/W mode and I think I know why. Developer of DicePlayer wrote in description that Xperia arc can play "720p High@3.1/4.0(some Level 4.0 file have shutter problem)" videos. From what I know scene releases of tv shows and hd movies now need to be converted with 4.1 profile so our arc/arc s can't play it. There is no need to reconvert video to change Profile Level to 4.0 or 3.1 thanks to H264 Level Editor tool. It can change level within 1 second. Tested with justified.s03e04.720p.hdtv.x264-compulsion.mkv. Changed level from 4.1 to 4.0 and still couldn't play it via DicePlayer so I changed it to 3.1 and it worked like a charm.

Don't know why but video still can't be played in MX Video Player.:confused:

I just hope this can be usefull to somebody having touble with playing 720p mkv videos. :rolleyes:

Hi all, I wanted to ask if anyone found a way to play 720p .mkv files (mainly TV Scene Releases) on our Xperia Arc and with what settings (ROM, Kernel, CPU Frequency, etc) and which Video Player.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Stuck - Disconnect rocker

Thinking out loud...have you tried disconnecting the rocker switch @ the connector to make sure the vol (-) contacts isn't still making contact & forcing the tablet into apx? Disconnectng should make it appear that neither Vol - or + is pressed.

As far as repairing the switch...from appearances, the contacts on the switch looks similar to what Atairi joysticks used to use (on a board vs ribbon/flex cable)...the switches would fail when either the plastic coating over the contact wore through causing the disk to move & not make the correct contact or the adhesive tape covering it would let loose causing faulty/randon contact. I used used to remove the adhesive tape & re-cover the switches with similar adhesive plastic to make them work again. Can't tell from your picture if removing the film is might be possible, but if it is, it's something try...especially it the contact is actually stuck down.

If you did have a warranty you voided it the minute you opened the tablet. Did you check it really good for any type of sticky substance that might have gotten into the keys? It happens and all it takes is one mi-nute drop from a soda or etc etc etc.

Thank for the replies but I am glad to report that I got the Gtab working properly. I fixed the buttons by removing the plastic and pressing down on the inside center of each cap slightly to bend them back into shape.
