I would start here:

That'll give you an overview of what you will need to do to get a custom ROM on there. Also, there's a folder attached there that has what you need to use fastboot.

If you don't have your unlock token from HTC yet, go here:

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

Here's a guide to unlocking:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416109&highlight=unlock

There's a link to "One Click Root" at the bottom but I don't know if that's current. I've never used it. You can just flash Amon Ra after unlocking. Get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339679

Just download v3.16. Don't worry about the attached files. Just grab it from the v3.16 link right above the attachments. Put that in the same folder you're using for flashing and type this:

fastboot flash recovery {nameofrecovery}

Then navigate in there to developer section and root.

Then make a nandroid immediately and append it with "_stock" so you always have it to go back to.

Now you are ready to flash a custom ROM.

Since you are s-on you will need to flash the kernel from the ROM after you flash the ROM. Some ROMs create one on your sd card in which case you will probably end up at the bootloader with it asking if you want to update, say yes. If not, you need to pull it from the ROM, put it in the "android" folder and flash in fastboot. I would pull it out ahead of time in case so you're ready.

fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the name of the kernel is)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martinlong1978:
Ever think that the XDA was released a little early, and that there should have been a few 'basic' features.

Ok, we all love the XDA / MDA / 'whatever', but I bet some of us feel that we'll have to upgrade just a bit sooner than we'd liked, just for some really useful stuff.

So here is the beginnings of a wish list. Things that I consider should be standard on the next PDA I buy, because after all, that one WILL be the last one I ever buy :wink:

Some of this is availble as 3rd party, but it should be standard. It is standard on most Nokias

1) All the stuff currently on the XDA. (We don't want to lose anything do we)

2) At least 64Mb RAM - how many people went and hung themselves when the 64Mb version was released for less money than the 32Mb!!

3) >16bit colour

4) SDIO - it seems a waste not to include this

5) CF slot. CF is so flexible, and fast. It should always be there really.

6) Back-up battery. You can't run off this (or you would, wouldn't you?), but it should try and hold the memory for at least 2 weeks.

7) WLAN. You're sat at home, in your armchair, and you just want to look up who played that part in that film - do you get up and use your broadband for free, or use your GPRS on your phone.

8) Bluetooth. not as important when the above is availbable, but would be nice to have the headset, and communication with other phones etc.

9) MMS. How did they miss this one? A perfect money spinner for the network op.

10) Voice recognition.

11) Some kind of contact profiling. Ring tones, call lenth counters, etc.

12) Character counter for SMS messages (I realise this is an outlook shortfall, but still).

13) An easy way to re-send failed SMS in outlook.

14) Microsoft CE.NET (one day, maybe)

15) Consumer IR - should have been higher on the list. Unfortunately the IR port on a XDA is not powerful enough to transmit consumer IR signals very far. This is available now on some iPAQs. Why not use your phone as a universal remote control? design your own remotes, create macro buttons that enter '129' in sky for example (Paramount).

16) Fingerprint reading. Now available on iPAQs. With the right type of touch screen, this is a reality. What an excellent security measure. No need to get out your pen to enter your PIN, just touch the screen.

17) Master USB. Wouldn't it be great to be able to plug in all those USB devices you have. cameras etc.

Feel free to add your own dreams ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Eciton:
Oooh, some of those are really good!

Out of the ones you put I'd rank the memory highest, followed by Bluetooth and SDIO. CF I'd put lowest, especially as it would increase the size of the device.

Here're my suggestions:

How about user-definable buttons? Would stop XDA-gaming being crippled.

Tri-band would be very nice too - if only to make ROM upgrades easier for everyone :D

Integrated answerphone

A T9 input method for texts - no stylus needed, and very fast.

A proper headphone jack?

Volume rocker instead of button - down as well as up!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martinlong1978:
Some excellent ideas. Point noted about CF - probably not needed either if BT, WLAN and SDIO are present.

I was thinking about some of those things too, but never got them down - well done. I'm actually looking to produce a T9 solution, but it requires a good think first.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Eciton:
oooh, if you can do a t9 i'd love you forever - not in that way, you understand :D

especially something akin to the smartphone's solution that can find a contact / predict a number for use on the dialling screen, but i'd be more than happy with a soft-input method for text entry that emulated t9. iirc, tegic did something like this but not for pocket pc. am i wrong?

cheers :D

movies

I looked at the nokia communicator aka Brick.

I found this device works well with movies, well so they said!!

But what I wanted more than anything is to sit on those long journeys watching a movie. a few short coming swith this though.

-Battery life too short (with screen light on, with phone activated)

-Memory, need more colours & smoother rendering.

-Storage Cheaper compact flash much better.

Or WLAN for watching TV at home...

Imagine sat on the bog watching the re runs of red dwarf!!!!

A few dreams, but those "proper pda's" look so appealling in comparison.

Well lets see what we can do with it....

Martin
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martinlong1978:
Yeah... I always forget about storage when thinking of WLAN.

You can browse, watch a film, connect to your PC with terminal server, all while sat on the bog.

How about this:

plug a TV card into your PC (running Windows 2000 server and media services), and then retransmit your Sky TV over the WLAN. Then you can watch 'Men and Motors' in any room on your PocketPC. Get caugt short in the middle of a film? take your PPC with you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
Well, if this is to be the last device I ever buy, it better contain GPS and a camera as well.

#Peter Poelman

"The last device I'll ever buy"

will be purchased around the time I die
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Eciton:
And a giant LASER! :D

Being realistic, I don't think a fully integrated do-everything device is the best choice:

partly due to size constraints, but also the battery drain would be immense - and if your camera ran out of batteries, so would your PDA, phone, GPS unit, mp3 player and whatever else you'd decided to put in it :). It would also be non-upgradeable, hugely expensive (see the new Clie for proof), and if anything broke the whole unit would have to go off, leaving you gadgetless. Oh, and you can only do one thing at once - no phone and camera combo at once, laddy!

So while it may sound cool to integrate everything, I would prefer connectivity options - then you can bring along new devices as you need without having to change the main one. Kind of like Apple's new Powerbooks - heavy on the connectivity, not necessarily on the built-in features.

I dunno, I just think the connectivity and battery should be dealt with (as well as the OS tweaks we've listed) before any funky new features are added.

2 cents and all that :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martinlong1978:
To a certain extent I would agree. It would be nice to have things like BT and WLAN integrated, and also consumer IR should be integrated too, but things like a camera should be an external option.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Guest:
I think that falls into connectivity - which was precisely my point ;) :D
[Galaxy Note II General] jcrompton:
I am required to use an application for hospital communication - it is a messaging app that takes the place of pagers. It is called Vocera -- it is available on the Playstore.

The problem that I'm having is that the app installs fine on both Sammy based and CM10 or AOSP ROMs but then you have to enter a server ip address and a registration key. The keys are one time use apparently so every time I try a new install our Sys Admin gets frustrated (they don;t care for rooted devices anyway).

On the CM10 or AOSP based ROMs the IP address for the server and Registration key seem to be accepted but don't "take" in that after they are entered and I press OK then the screen flashes and goes right back to the Registration page.

I have attached the log that was recorded during install of Vocera or VMP app and then the subsequent entry of the Registration.

Can anyone help with troubleshooting this app for use on AOSP based ROM's (or point me in the right direction)??

Also the other interesting thing is that if I do a Titanium Backup of the app then restore to a different ROM it doesn't maintain the Registration information -- I have to get a new key from the Sys Admin and re register the device. Does anyone know how to copy that registration information? Is there a hidden registry for Android OS's?

I have attached log and the files that are in the Titanium Backup folder for this app

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bardell3600:
I have used this fix successfully on several different ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.X) and JB (Jelly Bean 4.X.X) tablets to fix intermittent WiFi problems. It is simple and worth a try if you are having difficulties:

Unfortunately you'll need access to the root directory either via ADB or by rooting the device.

There is a file, wpa_suplicant.conf, that contains the WiFi connection instructions for networks that you have previously connected to. Deleting this file and letting the Operating System rebuild fixes a variety of intermittent WiFi issues (not hardware issues like poor signal.)

Locate the wpa_suplicant.conf file in data/misc/wifi using ES File Explorer or some other method of your choice

Turn off WiFi (Settings - WiFi)

Rename the file wpa_suplicant.conf.bak or just delete it

Restart the tablet

Turn WiFi back on

Restart the tablet again

Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Dropping, Difficulty Connecting

I am going to add to my own post. I found something that fixed the Jelly Bean dropped WiFi issue - the WiFi Connector Library

The JB WiFi problem:

WiFi works fine if you connect to a secured network (WPA, WPA2.) But if you are connecting to an unsecured WiFi network, one with no password protection, it is difficult to connect and once connected the WiFi drops frequently (30 seconds to 1 minute for my N90II RK3066.)​

This is again an easy solution to try. It worked for me:

Download and install the free app WiFi Analyzer

After the connection has dropped or while still in the difficult to connect phase, launch WiFi Analyzer

Use WiFi Analyzer to connect

Go to the AP List View (middle button at bottom)

Click on the network you want to connect to

It will ask to download WiFi Connector Library

Select "Yes Please"

Play Store will launch

Install the library

You should be A-OK once the library is installed

It runs as a background service. I can only guess why this works, but after three days of messing with this issue, I think I'll just smile and go on to something else.

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
:crying:

Opened bike race when the screen froze while opening the game (dark screen).

Pulled the battery but when I boot the screen goes on after 3 secs, stays on for 2 secs then goes into dim mode (i can see it's still on).

However my phone doesn't boot since I don't get any whatsapp messages. Normally it should boot to SIM screen but other apps should run.

X+power or M+power doesn't change much.

I'm guessing mobo/cpu fail.... any ideas?

:crying:

edit: It turns on when I put in the charger without battery! Dead battery?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
If you put the battery flat on a table does in spin well. Batteries bulge when they are done. The better the spin the worse it is. It's odd the behaviour that can happen with a end of life battery
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well now I'm not so sure what it is.

When I put the cable in without battery the M logo appeared and then the charge screen with a ? in the battery (because there was none)

Then I put the battery in and it started charging.

After a while I tried to turn it on but same problem - just a black screen when power it, no logo whatsoever.

Now I can't get it to work without battery either...

edit: I don't think it can be the battery, because the screen stays on (it has power apparently) and it doens't work with cable connected either

But I also don't see it being the screen as it never vibrates like it does when you boot it.

How did it just show the charge screen before and now it doesn't??
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:

The Droid 3 and Bionic are similar phones, and it turns out that the Bionic will not boot up without a battery - it will hang at the Moto logo even if plugged in. See this thread at androidforums.com: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...via-adb-unable-boot-up-phone.html#post5463741

So, it may be that you just need a good battery pack in order to get to Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot etc. if the phone will not start or start to Safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Ye, except my phone doesn't even show the motorola logo, and I can't even get to the bootloader menu

edit: and it doesn't explain why I was able to get to the charge screen without battery at first, but not now

[Motorola Droid 3] Emacore:
In my XT860 in its power when it reaches the lockscreen, restarts or shuts.

hi Doubleyp

try to see if it starts with a factory cable (like the Team black hat one) (no need for battery)

if it starts then its the battery
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I tried the stock cable that came with my phone (USB) but nothing happens. Screen doesn't even go on.

The light next to the microUSB does go on.

But my phone has never booted with USB (0.5A). When my battery was 0% I always needed a socket charger because it wouldn't go on and charge with USB

When I then insert battery and try again with stock cable same happens as in the video
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
The stock cable and a factory programming cable are not the same
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Ah I see. Well I'm not in the US so getting one would be a PITA

I'm gonna try my spare battery (original battery) tomorrow. It that doesn't work it must be hardware related because I haven't flashed or done anything to it so it's not softbricked or something.

edit: it team blackhat do send to europe? How would this be different from trying another (working) battery?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Try cutting a USB cable open, hook the red wire to the + of the battery and - to the black and let it charge that way. Also, do you have any MicroUSB charger? I have one for a BB Bold I used to have that delivers I think 1.25A and it could charge my phone from dead (obviously not now with the flex cable having a rip in it).
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
The little light next to the USB port is the 'It's still alive" light that Moto put in when the battery is completely dead. It's to let you know that the phone *is* charging, just not high enough to boot the phone (i.e. when you let the battery completely die).

WHY they did not make it a standard charging light (like the D1 and D2) I don't know, but that's the only time it comes on. A quick flicker on USB plugin, or when the battery is dead. The light goes out when it gets enough power to boot up.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well, it's not charging because there's no battery :P, the light it still on

I really dont see how its the battery because when I put it in without cable the screen turns on and stays on for as long as I keep the battery in. So it HAS power. Today I'm getting my spare battery and we'll see I guess..... don't have my hopes up

Thanks. But should it turn on when the LCD is bad? It doesn't even boot else It would vibrate once.

Can anyone confirm that the phone should boot when I remove the LCD alltogether? Else it might be a bad LCD or loose connector

The flex failed on my D3 too.

Greymarket import to Australia - no manufacture warranty. At any rate the vendors 'warranty agent' refused warranty cover when they repaired it and discovered safestrap and cyagenmod on it. :(

The conditions of the warranty explicitly say they won't cover 'rooted' phones. A bit harsh not to cover obvious hardware problems 'cause the owner has fiddled with the software, but I assume that's how 3rd party warranty providers make their money - by finding excuses to charge extra....

Are official Motorola service centres so strict ?
