I think I could do this but this requires lots of patience guts and testing from more then one user actually on tmobile .. not to mention able to talk his way out of a warranty replacement :o

ona side note there is a discussion thread , inthe other section maybe those 2 shoudl be merged or this one simply moved/ locked ??

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
The screen of my HTC Desire (Gsm, slcd-version, I believe) got hit, and broke. The touch digitizer was broken but works, lcd is black. I bought a new (s)lcd screen (should be slcd, like the original one), but no picture there either. After it broke unlocking it would make the edges of the screen flash green.

Is the main board broken (I couldnt see clear physical damage), did I assemble it wrong (tried two time in case of some cable left loose), or could my new display be broken?

Phone does boot up, sound, wifi, buttons, and even the somewhat cracked touch digitizer do work, so its not that it gets stuck in boot or anything. I have tried some of those functions by taking a screenshot with adb, and the estimating where I have to tap the screen.

Q1. Is there any hope to revive the screen? I have pretty much given up on the screen though...

I have thought of using it as a part of a UAV-project(GPS,camera,Acc and gyro sensors,... Pretty nice :D). The problem is that I would like to interface it to some other hardware using the Accessory Development Kit, which requires 2.3.something, and my Desire is 2.2. I have tried to flash CM7 using various tools without success (Hard without the screen). My phone was, and is rooted though. It has CWM 2.x.x(I don't remember the exact ver).

Q2. What is the preferred way to flash a new ROM without access to the screen?

Its for a AMOLED screen, but might give you some pointers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
There is only one cable that connects the screen to the main board, so I don't believe assembly is the problem... Do you think putting it into a oven for a while to reflow the solder would help, in case it is the connector that is the problem? In case the board is electronically broken there is not much I can do
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
I read from somewhere about it being possible to make some kind of script for the recovery to execute. I think some tablet had such script installed at the factory to keep users from accessing the recovery-menu manually. Can I do this with CWM 2 to make it flash a rom without user interation, and if possible, where could I find instructions on how to do it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
To flash a new rom you could execute the steps on another phone, write them down and do it on your phone - as long as the volume and power buttons still work. Or just use the 2.3.3 RUU, if you don't need root for your plans.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
Nobody I know has a android phone with CWM, so I can't really do that... I tried to google for images and etc., but cant really find enough. Have the menus changed from CWM v2 (compared to v5)?

I don't think I will need root, but the library I'd like to use is introduced in 2.3.4, so anything below that will sadly not work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Use this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096430

It's pretty old, but might still work. There's another similar guide somewhere (read it lately), but i can't find it now.

If you have a Nexus S, look at its recovery, the menu items should be the same. (reboot now, apply update ...)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
I dont see that guy telling what recovery he is using, it wont work if its not the same one?

I do have a nexus S, but have the menus changed in different versions of CWM, because my NS has v5.something and Desire was v2.something?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Then just flash the same version of cwm onto the desire? Don't need a display for that...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
Of course! I didn't think :)

I have never installed a recovery to a phone that has already been unlocked, so every time I have flashed a recovery, it included unlocking the bootloader or something similar, and required some kind of interaction on the phone. I guess that is the reason why I never even thought about updating the recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
I just saw that fastboot can also flash an update.zip. The command for that would be

fastboot update <update.zip>

(replace <update.zip> with actual filename.) Don't know if that works well, but you might give it a try.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
Thanks, will try that later...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -> Fails because image is not signed (is my phone s-on?)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaa:
On which stage do you get Internal error: installing package failed?

Did you manage to S-OFF your device?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
Something about "installing service" flashes on the screen before the error...

EDIT: Still FAILED (remote: signature verification fail)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
Does anyone have any ideas?

Am I doing something wrong, or is my phone broken somehow?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
As your display does not work, you can't tell if you're s-off, right? But you could try to run AlphaRev again to make sure. Unr3voked just roots.

Looks like the fastboot update command is not designed for recovery flashable images. As said, i never tried.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varesa:
Well atleast "fastboot getvar security" returns security: on, so I guess I am still s-on. I thought unr3voked also s-offs. Atleast that is the utility I used to flash a custom recovery and root a completely stock phone. I have never used AlphaRev, but I'll look into it...

[HTC EVO 3D] MettlerNikola:
Hello,

If there are two updates available, for example the 3d games update and the android 4.0 (ics) update. But it's not possible to install any of them 'cause my phone is rooted. Will the phone show me the latest update (ics) or will it show the old one (3d games). So summarized do I have to install all updates to get to the latest one or can I ignore older ones and directly install the latest one?

And my second question is, is there a way to install an official update while using a rooted phone?

And finaly my last question. How do I unroot my evo 3d if I've used revolutionary tool?
[HTC EVO 3D] bcarter2000:
What the smart majority of rooted users do is to wait for the updated files to be stripped by developers, so that your phone will not lose root or have sprint spyware installed. This also allows for the radio to be updated without running an RUU. Usually they have it ready within a few days, so unless you are REALLY impatient, or just don't want your phone rooted, then go ahead and install OTA updates.

The exception is the 1.5 hboot, which I was lucky enough to avoid. I THINK you have to unroot (those tools are located in the development stickies) to update.

Almost everything you need is under the development section. It just takes a little searching.
[HTC EVO 3D] MettlerNikola:
thanks

but u haven't really answered the first question. The problem isn't that i'm not able to update, the problem is that I don't know if there is or if there isn't an update.

btw i'm using a gsm evo 3d not a cdma version
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I think you may be confused. You are talking about two different types of updates, app updates and system updates. App updates will always be shown in the market, and the Market should notify you of updates every few days. System (rom) updates are pushed out from your carrier. If you are rooted, you should NEVER take an OTA update. If you are rooted but still on the stock rom, you WILL get notified of the ota updates, just be sure NOT to take it. If you are on a custom rom, you likely wont get notified of the updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] MettlerNikola:
No i'm not confused. There is an ota update for german gsm evo 3d phones called 3d games. It includes some games, some other tools and also som bugfixes i think. It's not an update of any games in the market it's an ota rom update...

So my question was will it show the latest update or will it show the latest currently NOT INSTALLED update?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Why would your phone show the version of an update that's NOT installed?
[HTC EVO 3D] MettlerNikola:
i mean if i press the search for updates button. Will it show the latest update or do i have to install every update?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
Trust me you'll know when there's an update. xda will be thriving and everybody talking about it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shaneledford:
Ever since I rooted my G2x I have not been able to flash a kernel. I have tried with Stock Gingerbread, CM7, Weapon, and Hellfire Sandwich. Usually I am trying to flash a Faux kernel, but I also tried a different one with Weapon.

I boot to CWM recovery and then flash the kernel and then reboot. I just get a black screen, no boot loop animation or anything, just black. I have to then pull the battery and wipe or restore a backup to be able to boot again.

Is there anything I'm missing that could fix this issue ? Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
Are you wiping cache/dalvik first? Are you trying to install OC/UV?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shaneledford:
Yes, and yes. I just now tried it again. on Hellfire Sandwich using Faux Kernel 049 Beta Build 5(says Self Kang 3 only, but people in the Hellfire Sandwich thread are using it).

[General Questions and Answers] jaed.43725:
With all the advancements made in the processor such as the Exynos and the new 32nM chips why is there not any 2GB of RAM phones? You could easily tone down the processor to 1.2 dual core and the RAM would take a lot of the work. And the phone would be way fast.

On the same note why not empower the GPU to do more work and make it 1.2Ghz dual core as well. That would really light a fire on graphics rendering and also make using something like the Ubuntu on Android while in a dock work so much better.

What does the community here think about this? Let the ideas flow.
[General Questions and Answers] heinst:
I completely agree. I think the average user is just starting to learn about CPU and cores. Once the average person hears the speed and number of cores they immediately jump to conclusions like "Wow thats fast!" or "Thats slow". If people throw in the other terms I think the average person would be turned off by the phone. Basically like the Mac is to people who are not really good with computers, virtually maintenance free.

If that were to happen we would get faster phones, but is the technology there to do what you said. Do we have small enough batteries to power these devices for at least a day? I think America is more stuck on the idea of higher data speeds than the speed of the phones, cause hey America is addicted to Facebook! :D
[General Questions and Answers] jaed.43725:
Yes it would seem that America has been dumbed down by iEverything. If people would just realize that a faster phone equates to a faster network then there would be more push.

The technology is there to both make it and power it. However the buyer well need to snap out of the trance they are in that the phone must be as thin as possible. The average and even techie user will not give any notice between 11mm and 16mm to put in a 3000mah battery.
[General Questions and Answers] jaed.43725:
I wasn't entirely sure of where it would have went, since its an opinionated question and not a tech question. Thank you for the clarification.
[General Questions and Answers] Dedokrus:
i think

I think there is a problem in the technology of manufacturing
[General Questions and Answers] jaed.43725:
Dedokrus: Could explain that?

As I far as I can see, if there is a 32nM quad-core CPU running 1.5G then 2G of RAM and more GPU is well within the realm of current manufacturing.

Does anyone have any insight into this, like someone who has been a part of phone development?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fugitive87:
Everybody here says the bootloader is locked and you have to flash derpunlock to unlock it. I did the same thing to the photon as i did to my xoom and it worked. Just go into fastboot type "fastboot oem unlock" then it will tell you it'll void your warranty and to continue type "fastboot oem unlock *******" the *'s being your unique id. And i just did the same process to a photon this past weekend
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
I kinda erks me too how they word it that it isn't unlocked, what everyone means that it's not fully manufacturer unlocked which results in broken 4g once the "bootloader unlock" is performed by us on the devices.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Fugitive87:
But there is no need to flash derpunlock
[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
There is a thread on unlocking here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216143

With the attached picture of what you're describing. View attachment 923927

We already know we can unlock it. The reason why people say the bootloader isn't unlocked has to do with the fact that it isn't a true unlock because we lose 4g when we unlock it.

WMDC Launcher

Native Debugger continuation

Do you miss fast & stable WP7 File Managers and Registry Editors for PC? If you do, there is a new approach for you - Windows Mobile Device Center Launcher.

What is it?

Windows Mobile Device Center/ActiveSync are legacy applications made by Microsoft. They provide an access to file system, registry, ... let's say, they provide full remote access to connected phone's features.

What's this launcher for?

Main purpose of this application is to enable Remote API support on device. PC will detect phone as WM and WP7 device simultaneously. Zune will still work.

Capabilities:

File managers. Almost every file manager that has WM support will work on WP7. Nice examples: Windows Explorer, Resco SendTo plugin (part of Resco File Explorer installation), CE Remote Tools File Manager, Altap Salamander, etc.

Registry Editors: CE Remote Tools Registry Editor, CeRegEdit, Registry Workshop.

Most of CE Remote Tools work.

Native debugging.

Many more apps support...

What's missed:

There is no contacts/file/calendar/etc synchronization. PC may still offer it but it won't work.

As for debugging:

IDA debugger also should work after a bit of editing magic.

Custom ROM usage:

Usage is limited. You should ask me (ultrashot) for permission.

Neither Microsoft nor author of this launcher are responsible for any damage caused by application usage. Application is distributed AS IS without any warranties. Launcher cannot be sold.

-No, not developer unlocked!

Is it possible to use now Windows Media Player 11 to Sync with the Phone, so that the MediaPlayer on the Phone sees, the new Media Files like MP3 and so on? I dont like Zune
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
WMP11? It's not even possible with WMP12. WMP can't handle the encrypted communication channel that Windows Phone and other Zune devices use when syncing to the computer.

It's silly, especially since WMP does support connecting to *other* devices. It's been that way since the Zune brand launched though, and I've seen no indication of it changing. You don't have to use the Zune software for much, though; you can leave WMP as your primary media player and just use Zune to sync if that's what you want.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Lifear:
The problem is the library file in my opinion. I sync via a automated playlist. This playlist holds Music with some Genres, not played in the last X days and has music only for x minutes, ordered by album and track number. If i play a song from the whole library on the PC, the playlist is updated (because of the last played timestamp). If i play a song on the device, the libarary on the device becomes also a new timestamp. This is synced back to the pc and updatest he library and the playlist there to.

This has worked with WMP11 and Windows Mobil 6.x and now with Zune/WP7. But Zune is in some things a little bit crippled :-) It would be cool to use WMP again, to sync such things. Its much easier there.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Zune does support playlist syncing, and can use the same playlists as WMP, if that's what you mean. It can sync the same files automatically, so long as Zune is indexing the loction where WMP puts the file (which it should be).

I agree that it's silly that the WMP software can't be used, but aside from being a bit faster on UI I don't really miss WMP from a music playback perspective.
