Got the email:

"Thanks for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox and claim your extra 23 GB of space, visit our Getting Started guide!" (although I don't own an HTC phone)

But no account quota increase so far. Let's wait and see.

Thanks :-)

The email says get 23GB after you do 'getting started' but on the link provided in the mail you get only 250 mb.

UPDATE: even tried from a new account but doesn't works

Try this apk, if the op apk doesn't work on you!

[Defy Themes and Apps] mihovil13:
I think that it's because of your ROM, cause if you're using GB rom or CM9 (ICS) then your phone model in build.prop will say MB526 and that model can't be found in dropbox database....

try with rheza's apk...

original thread was closed so I think that we won't see any updates...
[Defy Themes and Apps] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
Worked just fine for me! :D I now have 26.5 GB (at least for the next two years) :D

What this app does is fooling Dropbox that your device is HTC with ICS (as this 23GB bonus is only available for HTC's on ICS ;) )
[Defy Themes and Apps] dexterboygenius:
Didn't work for me.. I tried it on multiple Dropbox accounts

Currently using latest WIUI TOM on Defy.

I haven't received any sort of email. Is this Geography dependent??

I hope that this thread won't be locked :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] papathvas:
works for me too
[Defy Themes and Apps] vap_66:
That should be of the least concern :p. I will not use this trick to gain more space, because I don't find it useful to keep two Dropbox accounts. Why two, you will ask - because the Dropbox team might ban the accounts which are suspected of fraud, and it's not worth it to risk your main account.
[Defy Themes and Apps] pranks1989:
Yep it works~!! Thanks :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Garuxa:
Works Fine

I'm aware of that, but for me, Dropbox is just for a quick upload of screenshots, apk's , icons, docks, etc...

i see a new update version on the market.

is there a problem or i can go throung the update without losing the bonus?

:confused:
[Defy Themes and Apps] jwds1978:
See step #4. ;)

[Defy Themes and Apps] vap_66:
If your bonus space was already given you don't need to worry about updating the phone client. It won't modify your account.

I'm staying with Dropbox 2.0.1 because I'm not accepting the new required permissions (modify all the accounts, etc).

Guys, I just noticed that today my Dropbox space was increased to 17.25gb :D. I didn't knew why, so I started to investigate - look what I found: the referral bonus was doubled, from 250mb to 500 mb per refferal (and it's not the .Edu mail promo). Check your accounts, is it the same for you?

Articles here, here and here.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Deonix:
It worked for me with these apk. But it was closed in the main thread because it's kinda illegal but I needed the space.

Will look in the bonus 500 mob today. Dropbox it's the best.

[HTC Desire S] themalenurse:
My friend asked me to have a go at fixing his Desire S...

I'm in Australia, it's a Telstra branded HTC Desire S.

The details of the phone are (from bootloader screen):

SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT - 0.98.0002

RADIO - 3805.04.02.01_M

eMMC - boot

What happens is I turn the phone on, and it gets stuck at the Telstra splashscreen. It stays on this screen until the battery goes flat.

I've tried accessing the phone through adb, but adb can't find the phone. I think this is because USB debugging is not enabled, but I can't get the phone to turn on to enable it :(

I've also downloaded this RUU:

RUU_Saga_Telstra_WWE_1.36.841.3_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_184558_signed

When I run the RUU, it is unable to connect to the phone (even though the phone is connected to the computer, and I can see the phone in the device manager).

Any suggestions are welcome :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Do you have any idea what caused this?

Looks like you may still be stock?

which means you're at least covered by warranty

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@themalenurse

FIRST try a factory reset. Boot into hboot, go to recovery, once in recovery go vol up + power to get the menu then try wipe cache partition if that fails(doesn't help) then do a factory reset.

As for the RUU route...

Boot your phone into fastboot *get into hboot, then press the power button after 30s) and then run the RUU again from the PC.

If that fails....... Extract the rom.zip from the RUU, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, place on SDcard root, then boot your phone into hboot and follow the screen.
[HTC Desire S] themalenurse:
@ben_pyett:

I don't know what caused this.

I'd say that it's highly likely that the phone is still stock, however, my friend bought the phone privately over the internet, so couldn't be 100% certain. Due to this, the phone is no longer under warranty, because my friend doesn't know where the phone was purchased originally.

@foX2delta:

I tried to do the wipe cache partition and the factory reset, and I could get neither of them to work.

I also tried the RUU route, and the RUU program still didn't connect to the phone.

So I'm at the final step that you suggested, but I don't know what you mean by extracting the ROM.zip from the RUU, as the RUU is an exe. Can you please explain that?

Also, once I am able to do that, how do I place the the PG88IMG.zip onto the SDcard root? I ask this because my computer doesn't recognise the phone as a removable disk.
[HTC Desire S] themalenurse:
So, to clarify, I should rename RUU_Saga_Telstra_WWE_1.36.841.3_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_184558_signed.zip to PG88IMG.zip?

Then I put PG88IMG.zip on the SD card and then boot the phone into hboot?

If I am incorrect, please provide clear instructions :)

I'm new to doing this stuff on the Desire S, my own phone is a Samsung Galaxy S (which I find much easier to do things with).
[HTC Desire S] themalenurse:
I've successfully extracted ROM.zip from the RUU and have renamed it to PG88IMG.zip.

I've put the PG88IMG.zip on a SD card, and loaded into hboot on the Desire S.

The phone goes through it's checking, and I press the volume up key to start the update.

The phone then freezes (See attached pic)...

How long should the update process take?

If the phone is frozen, any suggestions/options?
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
A good place to start is ensuring you have the appropriate drivers installed on your system. Do you have HTC Sync? Or the Android SDK? We'll take it from there ...
[HTC Desire S] themalenurse:
@Saipro:

I have installed the drivers that are linked to from this page:

unrevoked[dot]com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

Sorry I had to put the link like that because I'm not yet allowed to put links in my posts.
[HTC Desire S] scandron:
Are you sure you pressed VolUp?

As I remember, it must be something like "Updating in progress, please wait".

[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
Our Shooter development forum has been a roller coaster ride over the past several weeks. Everything from developers taking their talents elsewhere to the unthinkable (HBoot downgrade) happening. As a fairly new, by XDA standards, member of these amazing forums, I want to know some people's honest opinions on what it will (or might) take to get our development forum back to what it's capable of being. In an ideal situation, we'd be able to have any lost developers come back and be able to share their contributions to our phones without any drama or repercussions for doing so. I mean no harm and I don't want bad feelings or bad memories being brought up, I just want what's best for XDA, XDA's members, and the developers that choose XDA to share their talents. I miss when XDA was fun and I want that back. I know there are many other members and developers out there that want the same.

Also, Moderators, please feel free to lock or delete this thread if it becomes a flame war or we start getting people trolling for no reason and adding nothing to this post. Also, please don't start throwing accusations around and all that. I want this to be a collaborative thought session from anybody who is willing to offer any constructive and positive feedback or ideas.

[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
I think all it would take is for people to stop being whinning, ungrateful douche bags. That is all. Devs are getting run off by people who whine and bi**h about every little thing. Everyone needs to realize that these devs are doing this for free and not asking for anything in return. Once everyone can do that and be grateful, I think a lot will change but it will not change everything. Some devs are gone and not coming back. At least gone to the 3D forums.

That's just my feeling on the subject.

Also, here's what I use for reference when I want to know how well a thread can be run. Check out the MIUI thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271824). Team D3rp has done a fantastic job of making that thread a pleasure to read with even a few laughs here and there. Yeah it gets off topic every once in a while, but that's what FRIENDS do. They cut up and have a good time all while maintaining the same objective.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
XDA isn't amazing, it's just the most popular. There are many issues here dealing with maturity, drama, and so on. The developers aren't some gods that should be worshipped and defended no matter what. The problem we have here is that too many people try to speak on behalf of devs, causing a lot of unnecessary drama.

In a perfect world, devs would post their work, and people would use it, figure out what could make it better, and continue from there. But here, if someone says something even a little derogatory towards a developer, they get teamed up on and attacked for it. Even though this is a free thing, and these people aren't paid to do this, they release their work to the public and as such they deserve criticism where needed. I've seen a lot of devs accept such criticism and work with it, but still people feel the need to defend them to the end. Devs aren't perfect, they aren't flawless people. Quite a few of them are attention seekers. People need to stop taking battles into their own hands. They need to realize that it just doesn't help.

There's too much of a focus on being the first to get something done, as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
I agree that the developers should be subject to and even welcome constructive criticism, as long as it isn't a "THIS ROM SUCKS!!!eleven" kind of useless post. How else would one make their ROM/kernel/mod/theme better without worthwhile feedback? Maybe put a 10/15 word minimum on replies in the development and themes/apps sections?

[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
some thoughts (basicly what it would take for me to post my work back on XDA again)

specific to the end-users and developers on xda:

..i have no problem is people tell me my work sucks.. but tell me WHY

---seriously, look at my work in the past, a user reported an issue, i busted my ass to fix it the same day the issue was reported, sometimes causing 2-3 releases in the same day

..instead of posting issues in XDA or any other forum, i ask you use my issue tracking site, so i have all the problems in one place, and everyone can see the status and updates of reported issues, including the person who reported it. (i honestly do not read every single post on my threads, i dont have the time... so if you have an issue, and you dont post it on my issue tracking site, dont expect to have it fixed..)

..i do have a problem when people make things personal or accuse anyone of any wrong doing without proof. even if they had proof, it should be done in PM and and not in public forum, or brought to the attention of a Sr. Mod if the PMs are not responed to.

..people should show common courtasy and respect when a developer (or anyone) gives them something for free. if you dont like it, move on....dont troll the developers thread.

..if you do not own the device covered by my thread, dont post in my thread, dont report my thread, dont down-rate my thread. If you do own the device, but dont use my software, the only thing you should be posting in my thread is questions about said software.

..understand ALL developers here are doing you a favor by giving you something for free...they sometimes spend days/weeks on something and just GIVE IT TO YOU

..<MOST> people will treat YOU like you treat THEM, if your an ass, expect to be treated like an ass.

..i dont expect to be treated any different than a non-developer, but i ask for basic respect...is this asking too much?

i know im not the only person on XDA that feels this way, but I am prolly the only one who will speak my mind.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
+1 Chad.

That's for giving a developers point of view on the subject.

Also, I agree that developers should not be treated like Gods. They should be given respect for what they do though.

That's the problem of using a forum to organize all of this stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
And hopefully we can get most of this accomplished. As I say in my other forums and it works.

If you see trolls report them, don't feed them. If you ignore them and report them we can get rid of them. If you fight with them we have to sort out who the trolls actually are.
[HTC EVO 3D] PoorCollegeGuy:
The problem XDA wide is how aggressive everyone has become. It's not just developers, but users too. I read probably 100 threads every day looking for news stories and here's how it always goes:

1. Developer releases something

1a. Someone starts a thread in, say, General and says something.

2. Trolls

3. Everyone is angry

4. Developers leave.

The 5 things that would at least calm it down.

1. If there's a problem, report it to the mods. Too many regular users are trying to be ma and pa XDA and that causes a lot of problems. You think something is a kang or someone isn't following the rules: report to the mods and present proof. They'll look into it and make a decision. Live with that decision. (affects: users and developers)

2. If you don't like something, stay away from it. So many people post in dev threads for stuff they don't use just to cause problems. If you don't use it or don't like it, then get away from it. (affects: users and developers)

3. Stop demanding things from people. They aren't your slaves, you don't pay them and they don't owe you anything. In the old days, developers worked at their own pace and released things and users were just happy to have em. Now, users seem to have this "I'm entitled" attitude and it's wrong. You don't pay for XDA, ads do (exceptions being XDA Premium App owners and donators...but you guys do it because you love XDA, not because you expect something out of it). You don't pay for development...no one pays for development. It's a hobby to these people and they do it out of the kindness of their hearts. Be happy with what you have, be excited for what you're getting and quit running around like you're all that.

4. I'd say something similar about the developers, but Sora is ma and pa XDA today and took care of that for me.

5. This site is based around development and collaboration, not "you owe me a rom" or "where's our ICS" or "wah wah wah". Collaborating, developing and respecting one another, then things will be much better.

lastly, to those with sanity left...lead by example. This goes to devs and users alike. If you see someone trolling, don't respond to them. If you see someone acting a fool, don't respond to them. If you ignore bullies (even e-bullies), they eventually go away. Gotta stop letting them get under everyone's skin because then it shows that they can get under your skin and they'll keep getting under your skin. Who wants that?!
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Good to see Chad still here. Stick around Chad! We got pstevep assigned to the 3D forums now, things are gonna get better!
[HTC EVO 3D] BlackMaster1991:
just started reading in here for not so long, but noticed, that so many users think, the devs HAVE to publish their work, that they HAVE to include everything into a rom.

especially the thing with the camera and stuff on the evo 3d. like the devs have to get it work.

stop whining and shouting. if it's too slow for you guys, start doing it on your own.

in my opinion, if you, users always complaining about stuff, dont stop it, the devs will leave and won't publish any roms. so who's going to miss something? right, just you. the devs have their own roms. maybe they'll they in touch with other devs just talking about their work etc. but if they stop releasing their stuff, nobody will have custom roms any more, except you start programming your own...

so stop it, be happy with the stuff the devs provide and just report bugs, if there are any. or just say something, that may be a good feature of a rom
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
Besides Joel leaving I think things have been a lot better recently! If I do say so myself.

Joel is a great dev and those who care will follow him. I think people just got frustrated by all his projects but I myself enjoyed following the bleeding edge of his ports. But to each his own.

I believe at some point he will be back until then everybody should just try hard to be nice to eachother so the great devs will have a nice place to come back to.
