Double posting cause I can :p

I don't know if I'm late or not but I recall some people wanting Xbmc on our device. Here it is and works nicely even if:

1- I still don't know how to use it.

2- It's a tad small for our phones but I believe the size can be adjusted.

Hi all. I just want to know if the h plus symbol that comes with stock roms is available in the Android Revolution HD ROM 7.1 because after going on a lot of Google sites I still cannot find my answer. And can't post in dev section.

if it is in fact based on location, do you know what radio works well in the state of Maryland
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Re: Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - aahk, softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

Can't recall if it's available on that rom or not (or which ones for that matter) but it's only a marketing scheme. It will work all the same / you'll get the same speeds.

Radios are dependant upon location (and from what I've been seeing lately rom as well - however you shouldn't worry about that for now). No one has made a radio map based on location as far as I know.

Guys - I'll do the search in a bit, after I wake up and finish my coffee.

A friend has the htc vivid. It reboots whenever he turns on the data, wifi works. He did a factory reset, same issue. Stock rom. Any ideas?

Edit: did a quick search over the vivid section, couldn't find anything relevant. I do recall reading something like that over this side.

So far, what I'm thinking of doing is (re-)flashing the ruu.

Do not upgrade the phone if you are going to root it. From there, as long as you read the effen manual, it's quite easy.

Restoring application data

I have been using JellyTime R30 (4.1.2 based) for some time, but decided to try out codefireX SR5 (4.2 based) instead -- seemingly some of the bugs that bothered me in JT are not around in codefireX :)

I had installed 4EXT and used that to back up my ROM (full nandroid backup) and I also used Titanium Backup to create both application and system data backups.

I proceeded to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, flashed the ROM and the corresponding gapps and rebooted -- only to find that my applications somehow mysteriously got installed/updated automatically!?

The new ROM works well, apparently -- but I am wondering how it got all the data and applications reinstalled. I guess I 1) either failed to reset to factory settings/wipe yet another partition, or 2) the new ROM found some data on the SD card and used that. I assume 1) is more likely.

Anyone care to elaborate?

The biggest problem I have with the new ROM is 1) MMS not working (which was also the case with the previous ROM) and 2) TTS is not working either, even if I have subsequenly installed and enabled Ivona.

-- Per.

---

Additional note, in case someone is curious: The challenges I had in R30 was the mute button not working, manual network selection broken and the rotation sensor giving incorrect data in landscape mode when the phone was pointing above the horizon. All of this works in SR5. My speaker works as intended in both releases.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Re: Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - aahk, softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

You did a "dirty flash," since you only wiped /cache and the dalvik cache. Your apps and their data are saved in /data, which is still there. For a full wipe, as required for a clean flash, wipe /system, /data, and /cache.
[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
OK, makes sense. So if it works, it works... and if not, I know what to do then :)

I had assumed that at least /system would be fully reflashed by the flash process/the new ROM but /data woouldn't be?

Or is it so that one has to manually wipe (format) /system also to make sure there are no left-over files from the previous install?

Thanks for the very quick reply!
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
Re: Ace Think Tank [Noob friendly - aahk, softbricks, bootloops, edify, etc]

A Rom zip will always format system. It's more for good measure. In 4ext recovery there is a wipe everything except SD which is what most people do for a full wipe.

MMS issue with cfx SR5

Probably what I should have used too :)

As for the MMS problem I have, that seems to be an issue at least some other people have too.

I believe I have the settings correct (my wife's stock 4.1.2 based S3 mini has the exact same settings), but I just cannot get it to send/receive MMS'es.

Logcat tells me it cannot connect to the MMSC Proxy:

E/Mms:transaction( 4125): Url: http://mms.telenor.dk
E/Mms:transaction( 4125): Connection to http://212.88.64.8:8080 refused
E/SendTransaction( 4125): java.io.IOException: Connection to http://212.88.64.8:8080 refused
...

(This happens also when I'm not connected to the WiFi).

I've set my phone to have one (combined) AP for all (default,supl,mms), so it should work despite one of the possible bugs I've seen.

Short of going back to a rooted stock rom and up again -- which _some_ people have done -- I'd like to understand and fix the issue, if there is a setting somewhere that I can change (I'm OK to do that with sqlite3 if needed).

Any ideas?

Weird problem: Incorrect ARP broadcasts every 15 seconds

Thanks to all of you that have helped previously with getting me going on newer SW for the ace :)

Now I have a new and somewhat disturbing problem: Whenever I'm connected to a wifi network, the phone sends out incorrect/seemingly "wrong" ARP messages every 15.1 seconds as long as the screen is off. It basically tells all listeners on the network that it has IP address so-and-so at its own MAC address. It uses a long list of IP addresses which appears to be roughly identical from day to day, even though some of them look a bit odd (like 0.x.y.z).

After a while this will cause my cable router to cough and start routing incorrectly as any traffic to the IP addresses announced will be forwarded to the phone and not upstream as it should have been. I then either have to wait for the ARP cache to time out or reboot, to be able to regain access to the network again from other devices.

So the net effect is this: Put the phone on a WiFi network, and after some random time, all other devices on the network starts to loose the internet connection periodically (for good reasons). This last part is probably particular to my router and it's setup, but I doubt my phone's behaviour is unique: This happens on a fully wiped phone with ONLY the ROM flashed (no gapps even).

As indicated, the problems appear to be caused by the phone sending out "illegal" data (technically this falls under the category of ARP spoofing/flooding).

I've tried a full wipe of all but the SD card and the Radio, and just flashed a ROM and booted up the phone. So far, it happens both with codefireX SR5 and SR6 as well as JellyTime R40 R4.2. It happens even if I don't flash the gapps package.

I'm somewhat worried about this, and would like to find the root cause and stop the seemingly incorrect behaviour. Is this possibly some weird error in the network implementation on JB 4.2.1?

Any ideas?

[PS: I'm using wireshark to sniff the network traffic locally, after I have been debugging my setup for some days to find out why all devices kept dropping off the internet].
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
You can always try a GB ROM, after a month i decided to try codefireX again, so i tried SR6 and the first thing that i noticed that i could not connect to my wifi hotstop, which i was connected to 10 minutes ago. So i just restored my nand with ARHD 6.4.
[Desire HD General] pnomandk:
Well, yes -- I'm probably going to test an ICS based ROM first.

But both JellyTime and codefireX have been pretty stable also when it comes to WiFi connections (codefireX running a bit smoother and possibly cm_ace even more smooth).

It is just that they are sending out packages that will confuse other clients on the same local network... and I simply don't understand why this is :(

It shouldn't be like that, me thinks...

As far as I am concerned, downanimations are not flashable. You have to put the file with a file explorer in a folder, usually the same as the bootanimation and then enable it in the /system/customize/CID/default.xml, by setting the correct path were the downanimation is.

Most custom roms have downanimations, so just need to replace the file. Have you looked in the system/media folder already?

This might be something for the OP.

ROOTING WHEN YOU'RE ALREADY S-OFF (with no custom recovery)

So I've seen a few of these types of threads around the DHD forums and I thought I'd make it into a guide (I'll integrate it into my guide at some point with links and all that good stuff when I have access to a PC)

So if you're already S-OFF (either HTC DEV or AAHK [Ace Hack Kit]) but you're not rooted, don't despair! Its a relatively easy fix, all you need is a little time. . Now you'll have to have a card reader for this part. Using a card reader, place a PD198IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card (this means directly onto the SD Card, NOT IN A FOLDER) that contains a custom recovery. What you want to do now is to boot into HBOOT (Volume up+Power). Once you've done that it will automatically try to detect a PD198IMG.zip (which is already on your SD Card). It will flash it and you'll have yourself a custom recovery. Now using the volume buttons to navigate up and down respectively navigate to the RECOVERY option and press the power button. Now you're in your custom recovery, open the mounts section and mount your SD Card to your PC. Now download a SuperUser.zip and flash it in recovery. Congrats! You've flashed a custom recovery and are now rooted! Enjoy

Hi guys!

So i encoutered a not-so-pleasend surprise this morgning and i created a new thread, but nobody finds a solution, so I got redirected to this thread by GuyInTheCorner.

I don't know how, but this morning i woke up ontop of my phone (yeah i know, very stupid! xD), which was extremely hot & stuck at HTC-logo screen.

I quickly took out the battery and let it cool down, but after i tried to reboot, my red led starting acting really weird..

When i tried to boot, it was stuck at the HTC-logo, so i tried another boot, which also failed.

I then tried to go to my recovery menu, but the same thing happened --> stuck on HTC-logo.

Fastboot on my pc does recognize the device, but i can't seem to install a new rom trough the fastboot menu

I now installed a RUU in hopes of restoring, but still no luck..

At this moment, the led stays solid orange and the only way to poweroff the device is by pulling the battery.

Can anyone help me out?

I'd be most grateful!

I was running sabsa prime V12 for 2 weeks without issues.
