[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
Hello there,

I just installed MIUI_Au ICS on my rooted HTC Desire, and am now trying to get rid of my S-On.

My OS is Ubuntu 11.10, 64bits.

My phone details are as follow:

- Bravo PVT1 Ship S-On

- Hboot 0.80.0000

- MicroP-031d

- Radio 5.17.05.23

I tried running Revolutionnary, but it does not support Hboot 0.80 ; I tried to go back to Unrevoked, but it does not work properly on a 64bits OS.

What should I do?

Are all hboot seen on Alpharev S-Off'd, even the one labelled "Stock"?

Bonus question: is my radio up-to-date?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Radio is ok, you need to run alpharev not unrevoked to get s-off, see instructions on alpharev.nl
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
Thanks. So nandroid backup, install the "Stock hboot" from Alpharev with fastboot, wipe, nandroid restore → should be good?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Nandroid yes then you need to run alpharev.iso to unlock nand (get rid of protection) then you will be able to flash custom hboot, recovery etc... Without it all flashing will fail... Read instruction about s-off on custom roms first...

Edit: best thing will be to revert to rooted stock Rom then run alpharev utility
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
Do I really need the Linux LiveCD? I'm already running Linux after all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
Well, I'm worried.

I did a nandroid backup first, then fired up unetbootin to make a bootable Alpharev USB drive and reboot my computer.

Stages 1 and 2 went supposedly fine, but my computer is now sitting there doing absolutely nothing on Stage 3.

During Stages 1 and 2, the terminal spit a few worrying messages but the process still went on automatically, without me taking action; those messages are :

- Unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Stage 3 currently looks like this:

Step 3 of 3 is starting. During this step, you will receive instructions and progress on-screen. This is normal. DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE DURING THIS STEP, HBOOT is beeing flashed during this stage, and turning it off WILL *BRICK* your phone!

Waiting for flashing to complete...

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

- USB 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

- Unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

Phone is stuck on this screen:

AlphaRev SPLBOOT version 2.0

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

Normal NAND detected. Non-PVT4.

It has been about 15 minutes and nothing is happening. Any advice? Think I can power everything off safely (it seems to me the Stage 3 process did not start at all, but I could be mistaken), or anything else to do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Did you go to rooted stock rom as I told in previous post?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
I'm afraid not. The rom is still MIUI Au ICS, rooted.

I'm getting "device not accepting address XX, error -71" where XX is a number ranging from 55 to 90 now.

According to http://paulphilippov.com/articles/how_to_fix_device_not_accepting_address_error it seems to be some kind of hardware failure / power failure on the PC side.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Any script? Like data2sd or data2whatever?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
I used to have A2SD+ on a previous MIUI install (based on Gingerbread), but not with this rom.

However, it seems there's some kind of unified mass storage space since the "internal unused space" seen by the device was of approx 700Mo (I do have a 1Gb Ext3 secondary partition on the card). I did not manually install any kind of script myself.

____

Found this:

http://www.miui-au.com/faq/a2sd/

"MIUI-Au is built around A2SD+ and you Should have an ext3 partiton on your SD Card before installing MIUI-Au.

MIUI China, and many other ROM chefs, use Darktremor A2SD (we’ll call it DT-A2SD). DT is stable, reliable and very full featured with a command line interface that can be used to change many settings. In early 2011 DT stopped moving the Dalvik cache to the SD Card automatically and it had to be done using the command line interface (a2sd cachesd command). We at MIU-Au were not happy with this and some other aspects of DT so we built our own A2SD, which we call PC-A2SD. Features of PC-A2SD are: Invisible, automatic, no command line interface and nothing for the user to do. Automatically puts Dalvik cache on SD Card. Automatically handles slow to mount SD Cards and will also allow the ROM to run without an SD card. In real world use we believe it is no slower than DT, and provides 40Mb – 80Mb more internal phone storage by moving the Dalvik cache out of the phone and onto the SD Card.

If you are using MIUI-Au and have your SD card partitioned correctly with an ext3 partition, A2SD+ is Invisible and Automatic. You do not have to do anything to make it work."

If it DOES fake the NAND on the SD card, switching off the phone and rebooting WITHOUT the µSD card might allow me to still access my current Recovery (Clockmodwork)? This seems quite like playing russian roulette to me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Prower:
Thanks to Zanzibar on #alpharev for poiting out this FAQ : http://alpharev.nl/instructions.txt

"No output other than 'Normal/New NAND detected.' -> Nothing was flashed.

- Pull the battery, there's no risk."

I just did, and everything went well. Restoring my Nandroid backup now from the Clockmodwork Recovery.

I'll flash a stock rooted HTC rom and try again properly.

Thank you for the help and support.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Thanks. I'm at work on the phone, my resources are limited, goodluck with stock rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bightf:
Hello Miles,

I've got exactly the same device than you with same hboot version, and I'm currently trying to find a way to s-off it.

I did a lot of research on the web but I can't seem to figure out how I can actually get rid of the s-on.

Did you manage to eventually s-off your desire, and if yes, can you tell me how ?

Thank you !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bightf:
Is it really compatible with HBOOT 0.80.0000 ? I thought it was not. Maybe I got confused with the Revolutionary method (aka Alpharev X).

I'll give it a try, thanks !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes, I was 80.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bightf:
Ok,

I've finally found a way to s-off my desire !

All I had to do before the whole process was to flash with an official HTC RUU (2.29.405.4), so it updated the hboot from 0.80.0000 to 0.93.0001.

After that, I could use revolutionary 0.4pre4 which support this hboot version and let it do the magic.

Installed 4ext touch recovery, Runnymede AIO, and everything's now just fine ! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All you needed was rooted stock custom rom and alpharev.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bightf:
Yes I know and I tried that, but for some reason it didn't work and gave me an "unary operator expected" error during the final step of the process.

I've googled that error and found different causes and solutions, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it, so I took the "easy way".

Anyway, now it works and I'm very happy :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

I'm going to flash a friend's phone which has recently been flashed back to stock to be unlocked, will they lose the unlock if I flash a cm7 rom?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintckk:
Once you unlocked your bootloader, installing ROM will not re-lock your bootloader

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Read the [Guide] Bootloader and kernel guide | X8 | W8 | X10 mini | X10 mini pro thread, it depends on HOW your phone was SIM unlocked in the first place.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcc666:
Hello,

i'm having problem in syncing my S2 with corporate exchange server. As they're not permitting android yet it's being filtered out by name/type of device. I was trying to use touchdown (with option exchange 2003) but still it's sending details about phone model and version. Is there any way to fake information sent to exchange server (ie to say I'm windows mobile 6.5, htc touch hd)?

2nd question - is there any software which will allow me to use active sync (like i did on windows mobile) instead of exchange 2003 option?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

MCC

I have not been able to find a single thread on Xloud the sound optrimization for Evo3D(With Miui). With someone claiming to it working how do I use it? I found some flashables and nothing made a difference in MIUI.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benb1974:
I have disabled it several times and it just reactivates itself. I like my nexus the way it is so I don't want to flash another rom. My only complaint is this. Can I just delete the apk with astro file manager or is another app dependant on it. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndreaCristiano:
No other apps are dependant on it. You can remove it. It shouldn't show up if you never signed in either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
A safer way is to use TiBu to freeze it, because you can always unfreeze it if need be.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enyo.:
How does 50mV more impact battery?

I get fairly good battery with 1.2GHz with a 50mV undervolt. I want to overclock to 1.3GHz, but it has 50mV more (even with a -50mV Undervolt) then 1.2ghz.

1.2GHz = 1300mV

1.3GHz = 1350mV

Both are -50mV undervolted.

Will I still get good battery with 1.3GHz as well? Is it worth it?

It feels faster, but I was just wondering how much 50mV more will impact battery.

Just overclock to 1.9ghz.. It will be super fast. And there's espresso protection on the kernel that does it so it's safe.

So looks like Sprint is going to run a lil upgrade promo for 2 months starting next week....

http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/02/sprint-to-offer-early-upgrade-buyout-program/

Odd timing to do this imho.

Maybe they plan on releasing the nexus phone during this time and want people to buy it?....
[HTC EVO 3D] doakills:
so I talked to sprint yesterday. They told me that I could trade my evo3d in and open a new contract for a galaxy nexus and receive 99.00 credit for my evo 3d, and cancel my terms on my 3d for 61 dollars + new contract price of the galaxy nexus being 199 or 299?
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I don't believe Sprint reps until what they say happens.
[HTC EVO 3D] doakills:
yeah either way, until galaxy nexus is out, I wont really know anything.. I'm getting that phone no matter the situation.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Same here.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
when is the nexus supposed to be released on sprint's network?

this sounds like a huge trap... d3rp.

"oh yes i will upgrade early! i have been wanting a SGS2 zomgzorz!!!!"

1 week after this promo is over.... nexus hits shelves... customers who upgraded their plan now have to pay full price if they want another phone within the next year or two.

sneaky bastards. i hate the way they do business.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
They are just trying to swindle people into a new contract because most people are waiting for LTE and LTE phones, and will move on if they don't get them soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I mean I get the promo as it kinda sorta makes up a little bit on the whole losing of the yearly upgrade gift for Premier gold members when they kicked that program out the door.

BUT that would only be the case if it was a permanent program instead of a temporary one....
[HTC EVO 3D] jagox5:
Well, I hope this is still around when the Evo 3d successor comes out. New better evo coming this summer? I had og Evo, todays Evo 3d. And eventually ill have the this years Evo. Hopefully this will help me get it.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoMaMa7467:
May use this for the nexus. But I'm only 10 months in.
[HTC EVO 3D] b-reezy:
It's legit.
[HTC EVO 3D] ryudo423:
I would certainly bite at 199. I hope sprint implements this for good
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
+1 on that. would be nice to beable to do this anytime.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
I won't jump on this as appealing as the Galaxy Nexus is. For one, I know there will be some beast ass phones out in August when my contract expires. Second, Sprint has to prove to me that their network will get that much better with their network speed. I won't believe this whole "network vision" till I see it. They claim they have been making some upgrades to their 3G network already according to their network tower map but I have seen absolutely no increase in speed or coverage. I want to have faith in their LTE network but their current network really has me in doubt.

So unless they REALLY get their **** together I'm switching to Verizon. They have excellent coverage around here and a blazing fast LTE network.
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Does this mean we have to trade our evo 3d's into sprint or can we sell them on ebay or whatever and use that cash to pay for the fee and the new phone we get?
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
No you don't have to.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
I would take the early upgrade to a gnexus if lte had been confirmed for my area at all. I will stick with my 3d until lte is available or my contract is up and I have to go somewhere else
[HTC EVO 3D] jclendineng:
Wow the nexus is not that great. It's sammy so I prefer htc anyways but pretty much same specs but no mass storage slot. Def not a flagship imo. I would save up and wait March or July for the quads coming out. Tegra and such. htc has some pretty cool stuff planned. Just be patient. The 3vo is still best in the market hands down.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
The great part about the galaxy nexus is that it will always have the latest android updates and you won't have to wait for the manufacturer and carrier to release the update.

I am interested to see what quad core phones come out.
[HTC EVO 3D] xian_online:
This is pretty much how I feel, The Rezound, the Nexus, and the Note are the only thing that gets my attention, and the Rezound is what interests me, but its just my 3D with a higher res screen and LTE. The Nexus has the a larger screen but the same resolution as the Rezound, still has a 5mp cam like my 3D and is a samsung. The Note is cool except it is AT&T (I know Verizon's coming.) So it comes down to OS. I want asop ICS in one form or another, so thats the selling point. I'd go for a rezound if I had a nice cm9 or such with everything working including LTE, but still I would wish for a larger screen size, since I would feel like I still have my 3D...
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Tell that to the people with the Nexus S right now lol...google updates are getting slower and slower.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
That's is true. But that phone is getting to its it's eol.
