now i'm getting the message:

error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device

but i cant boot the phone, so i need to enable usb debugging via adb, right?
[LG Optimus G (International)] ggesteira:
Solved! Used this steps:

1 Make sure you have LG United Drivers already installed, otherwise download from below

2 Download Lg suport tool

3 Put your Optimus G into Download Mode by switching it off, attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding both the up and down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.

4 when your phones conect to pc suport tool then go to software update

5 Click check in the first option. the program will close and a new one will open,wait for the flash process to finish.

6 you must have a internet conection, the whole process takes an hour or less. the phone will reboot when finish.

How to Fix Reboot when mounting System R/W in blocked bootloader?

In this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2204238, a user suggest flash with a fix. But as the bootloader is blocked, I can't flash the fix...

I have tried to copy the script to phone with ADB, but I can't write the file to /system/bin before the phone reboots...

Any suggestions?

Is there an OSX Mac based method to root and S-Off the One?

If not, will the Hasoon2000 Tool Kit work with OSX BootCamp or Parallels v5 to root and S-Off?

I will be buying and using this with T-MoUS.

I assume it has T-Mo US WiFi calling built in like my Sensation did?

From T-Mo the phone will no doubt come "sensed".

Can this be ROM'd to the Google version?

Can it be ROM'd back to the "sensed" version if Google gives no joy?

Will I have to repurchase any apps I have, or as long as I use my current gPlay user acct, no?

Ok, so overall not impressed with the BA. It clearly has some serious issues... but I never expected this!

I noticed today that when the screen is on (ie. during a phonecall) my handset now makes a high pitched whistling noise emmitting from the screen!! It's audiable from a good 2.5 feet away and is horribly annoying!

Anyone else had this problem/found a solution? If someone could check to see if they all do it I would be very appreciative

-Mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] alanplum:
Yes, I had exactly the same problem. After various emails and telephone calls I sent it back to my distributor (expansys) and they sent it to Dubai. Exactly 4 weeks later it came back with a brand new screen.

Don't get too excited though, as the whistle came back after about 6 weeks. Just got used to it now. :evil:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ice-hot:
wheeeeeeeeeee

Yeah, I can vouch for you guys here...

I'm currently on handset #3, and into month #5 with my Orange UK Contract. Within a month or so, the whistle comes back, and Orange send me a new phone.

I'm sure they must now have it in their diaries to just ship me a new one!

Thankfully I have Orange's insurance, which means I get new phones... but they've recently changed their T&C to say that I must pay £15.00 to process the exchange.

As far as I'm aware, if the unit is faulty within the first 12 months, it is Orange's obligation with HTC to provide me a new unit, FOC - statutory consumer rights etc? Or is that the first 3 months for an exchange, and 12 months for repair?!

Either way, their insurance (which costs £5/month) has gone down in value for money a LOT now.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Damnit. Mine went today for repair. Apparantly it has to have the same fault three times before 02 will replace it :(

This truly is the worst handset I ever had for reliability.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Yeah, I had the handset just over a month. Maybe its just the odd one has some kinda dodgy component which after about that time has an adverse effect on the screen. Strange, I hate this thing so much but after a day of no PDA I miss it terribly :(

I've had an O2 XDA IIs for about 3 months, other than it crashing randomly when I got it, it has been absolutely fantastic.

The crashing was fixed by removing the O2 software.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
maybe you could try an IMATE rom 1.40 i have this and it solved all the minor problems that i had when i was on the pants o2 rom!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ice-hot:
Apparently, the whistling we are hearing is from the backlight circuit.

I can't remember whether the BA uses fluorescent or elctroluminescent devices for backlight, but if you listen to almost ANY EL device (mp3 players, watches, etc) you will find they, too, eminate a slight whistle.

The emphasis, however, is on _SLIGHT_.

It's due to the high-frequency AC power that is used to give the glow - what we're hearing is the oscillator... well... oscillating.

That is (so I'm told) the technical blurb - and I've listened to all my other EL things I own, and yes, they do whistle too, very very quietly.

So - whistling BA owners - we have FAULTY DEVICES. :-(

R.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Wowzers you know your stuff. My whistling was immediately noticable when it first started and from a distance so it's defo not slight lol.

Cheers for the technical Jargon! I'll use it as ammuntion in the 02 shop when I try to trade this for a 2i ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
i spent 10min listening to my screen and another 10min on the phone to test out this theory. no whistling BA's here. maybe it's a bad batch of BA?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
So the 02 shop just rang me at home. Apparantly the repair centre has decided that I have damaged the screen and that I have to pay £160 for a new screen or £17.50 to get it sent back unrepaired.

I'm not happy considering I KNOW I didn't damage the handset. If it was sat on the desk not doing it, I didnt move it, then it started doing it then I'd say I had nothing to do with it. I especially don't want to pay £160 to get a screen back which will only start whistling again in a month.

02 are scum.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Michael_514:
Hi guys!!

Damn!

Today my unit started making that terrible noise, too.

I have an SX66, and it was great until today.

I could hear it from three feet away.

Very annoying.

I bought this unit from a guy on ebay.

Siemens told me to contact Cingular.

Damn, I am up here in Canada, with a place in upstate New York.

I don't know what I'll do now...

No Cingular stores for miles, I think.

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be problematic....

I have like 2 weeks with my asia BA and found this thread and I'm really scared of this...

Actually two minutes ago I was trying to listen to my screen to see if any wistling noticeable... and almost dropped the unit when it started making a loud noise :shock: in my ear!!!! (no fuzz... just a phone call) lol !

Any way in a month I'll post about my Asia XDA IIs to let you know if wistles or not.... :twisted:

Cheers

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Hi guys. Well I went to the store with my complaint letter like almost 2 weeks ago. I included this entire thread in it as evidence that a new screen will only waste my time as it will only start doing it again.

They still think I broke it so the manager is calling the repair centre personally to try and get it fixed for free. He was meant to ring me back today at the latest but I can't see it happening.

Just a point to note: in the summer holidays I work as a cleaner in government offices. Everyone who works in the office I clean has some kind of PDA phone. There's literally huindereds of people with XDA2, XDA2s, SE P800, P900, P910, Handspring Treos, iPaqs and Palm devices.

I have never seen one XDA2s. It's really wierd. I think the company must advise against them. I can't imagine why (sarcasm).

About a week ago, I changed to the newest Radio Version and firmware version 1.40.

Has anyone had this problem with the stock firmware?

I hope upgrading my phone didn't cause the problem!

Thanks!

Mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
I think it's more a hardware problem. The pattern seems to be that the problem occurs after about one or two months of owning the device. How long have you owned yours?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
It's definitely hardware.

My MDAIII developed it in a week. T-Mobile got it sent straight back, and they replaced with a new phone. None of the BS that O2 gave you.

I had started to wish I'd bought a O2 XDAIIi too, but I like the buttons on the face (you can actually use the thing without the stylus, like a proper phone), and the thought of O2 shafting me like they did you sealed the deal.

It's a shame it was an 18 month contract, when I'm planning to leave the country in 12. D'oh.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Hey, thanks Lewisham! At best 02 will replace the screen for me. If I say that the other networks are replacing units for this fault then it might kick them into action.

Also, I'm glad my review of 02 'customer care' was useful to you. I'm sure they will be quite as dismissive of me if they realise that this is genuinely putting people off buying their handsets.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
One important thing to note is that there is a component of the BA that does whistle behind the screen. This is normal operation. You'll find it with other PDA screens too. I don't know what it is, but if you hold it up to your ear when it is quiet, it is definitely something you can hear.

If the component fails, you should be able to hear the whistling clearly from 30cm away from your ear. I first noticed it when trying to go to sleep because it sits by my bed right now for when my gf calls me at 3AM (she lives in America right now *sigh*). I could hear it quite clearly, even though it was over half a metre away.

Just so no-one gets worried for no reason :)

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
This is taking the piss now. They got me first to take my complaint letter into store, sayin they'd fax it to the repair centre.

After no response, a week later I called the store again and they hadn't actually sent it. Instead the manager got me to email the complaint to him. He said he'd ring me back within 48 hours with the outcome.

Now, 4 days later I call up again to find out why there's no response. Turns out he never recieved my email. Rather than call my home, he left a message on my mobile answerphone. He knows I have no mobile phone and so would never recieve the message.

I told him that Orange and T-Mobile exchange handsets for this problem. He said that the MDA3 and M2000 are similar, but completely different handsets therefor that's irrelevent.

This is ridiculous!! I'm fairly sure that the handsets are the same just in a different case.

I have now been without a phone for around a month. I don't think I should have to pay my contract at all this month as I cant actually use it.

AVOID O2 AT ALL COSTS. THEY DO NOT VALUE YOUR CUSTOM AND THEIR CUSTOMER CARE IS A DISGRACE. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
That's BS, a Blue Angel is a Blue Angel, regardless of what stickers you've put on it. The only difference is that O2 load it up with a lot of software that causes it to crash.

I am so glad I went T-Mobile now, even if I did get the 18 month contract, and a keyboard that's probably going to fall out. :roll:

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nforsans:
Hi Lewisham

I read your posts with interest. How happy are you with the MDA3 on TMobile? What kind of today screen has it got? Is it as intrusive as the O2 screen? Also, what data plan have you got?

I've got the O2 one, but I also ordered the TMob whhich I should receive on Tuesday to test drive it. Any major difference in terms of softwares and reliability of the device between the O2 and TMobile versions of the BA?

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
All T-Mobile do to the handset is put a today theme on it; it has nothing else. Seeing as we should all be upgrading to the 1.40 ROM anyway (its really not hard), stability-wise it doesn't matter, because you'll end up with an iMate 2K whatever :)

The biggest thing I'm unhappy about is that I talked myself into an 18 month contract (handset costs more on 12 month), but I'm going to be leaving the country in 12. I rushed in, and now I will pay for it :roll: I also think 18 months is a little excessive for any plan. Mobile phones (and especailly the HTC phones, from reports here) appear to be designed that they give up after a year, and then need replacing. Upgrades usually suck (as I'm sure you know), so I always start looking elsewhere.

O2, to their credit, do the same handset price for 12 months. For that reason alone, I would stick with O2 if your handset is *working*. Having the nightmare Mike is having, and knowing other people have problems with O2 as well, would be troublesome.

I have the relax 300 price plan, I don't have any data because I only want to check email and stuff when I'm in a wifi zone.

Stay with whoever is giving you the best deal price plan wise. The phones are the same, whatever O2 tell you.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nforsans:
Great thanks - On TMobile I had to go for the same contract as you. On O2, although the device officially costs £99.99 on O2 200, I asked my O2 store in Manchester about the xda2s, and the girl said she could do it for £49.99! So here I am, with an apparently working device on O2 200 for 1 year with a highly subsidised device. She entered "marketing promo: £ -130.00" on the receipt. The screen freezes every once in a while, so it needs a regular soft reset. I've got 14 days to cancel the contract with O2 and 7 days with TMobile.

Will probably stick with O2, but I want to compare the two devices.

Can you easily find free wifi on the streets? I've got wififofum loaded onto my device, but in Manchester I am not v successful in detecting unprotected networks.

Cheers
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
No, you can't, but I only tend to use it at home or at friend's houses, so they usually have wifi.

I also go to Bristol Uni, and the area the university is in is one of the first in the country to be setup with municipal wifi, so I can connect walking down the road to get lunch :)

Question: Is there a reason you didn't get the XDAIIi from O2? It seems like its the better device *if* phone calls are secondary to you. I like the BA because I can make phone calls sans stylus (with all the buttons on the front), but the keyboard remains worrisome.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nforsans:
Hi Chris

I went for the BA because of the keyboard -I've been using a pda without keyboard for the past three years and thought the keyboard would be a real plus. I know it takes time to get used to it, but I feel I could type more text with a keyboard than without. Same for text msgs, can't see myself typing txt msgs with a stylus while walking, on a bus or on the move. Time will tell I guess, but I'm fairly happy with the BA despite the glitches.

I've got no problem with the wifi, I can connect to networks fairly easily. Hope the keyboard doesn't get loose -again, time will tell.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] leek:
Re: Whistling screen

I went for a BA as a temporary solution (I'm still waiting for it), waiting for the Wizard and Universal to come out. The Wizard, if it lives up to its purported specs, is almost exactly what I need. But I can't wait for it, so in the meantime I got a BA.

I don't need a camera in a PDA (most are terrible), and my job might prohbit cameras in some areas. The SX66 is therefore fine for me.

If the BA's keyboard turns out to be bad or wears out, I'll use a BT keyboard, though I'd hate to have to carry it around. That's why I can't wait for the Wizard and Universal.

If I needed a long-term solution immediately, and I was only allowed a single purchase, I would have gone with the Nokia 9500. But it runs code slower than the BA, and it has no vibrator, quadband, or touchscreen. And it doesn't have as large a group of developers. :)

A small amount of noise is normal in every fluorescent light, because it is powered by AC which is usually in the audible frequency range.

Perhaps the answer is to use white LEDs -- no noise there. But there will be power consumption, voltage step-up, and color uniformity issues to worry about.

If the whistling of the light is a widespread problem, and if BA owners need to repair their LCDs often because of damage, then perhaps a project needs to be started to provide expert help on BA LCD repair and modification. Something like this has already been done before on other platforms -- the Afterburner for the Gameboy Advance, for example.

I'm no LCD expert, but from the complaints it sounds like this needs to be addressed, if not by HTC, then by some of us. Does HTC not put its PDAs through any kind of burn-in testing, making sure the unit is stable even after a dozen battery discharges and recharges, with the unit in full operation during that time?

Removing the audible noise might only require tweaking the backlight circuit a little -- adding resistors, capacitors, or chokes to it, to attenuate the frequencies which resonate audibly. Or there might already be a pot in there which just needs adjusting.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Got this in an email this afternoon:

I'd like to thank everyone on this forum who read and replied to this topic. Without you guys I would have been looking at £160 for a new screen and several trips back to the 02 shop. I love XDA-developers *hugs laptop*

I hope that now the matter has been brought to the attention of o2, they will consider ayone else who is experiencing this problem.

-mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
Yeah, it's strange. This problem I had seen on other forums; it certainly isn't new. But when I called T-Mobile, no-one there seemed to have heard of it; it obviously wasn't a flagged possible problem in their database.

I'm glad O2 have seen the light; I enjoy the cocky comment at the end, they obviously still think you dropped it. Bastards.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
lol, yeah, I noticed that. Well hopefully they have acknowledged it now and other networks will follow.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kbaasch:
I have the same annoying tone. And it is my third MDA3 which has this problem after a few weeks of using. The tone comes from behind the display and I think it is a bad dimensioned coil or capacitor. I have heard these noise on different PalmOS PDAs.

The XDA2 has a much better quality of the display, or better the things behind that.

So I go in the next week again to my shop T-Mobile and try to change the MDA3 for the fourth time.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
My new one failed today. It's obvious like the last time, but at least it doesn't hurt my ears when I put it next to them. Yet.

I'm going to call T-Mobile tomorrow and ask for a replacement with a different phone and price plan. This crap is tiring.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Sorry to hear it dude. How many have you had now? You must be entitled to a refund by now!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
This one was number 2.

I called T-Mobile.

TM: "We can only repair it now."

Me: "But this phone is less than 28 days old. I want it replaced."

TM: "The 28 days only lasts from the beginning of your contract, not the age of your handset."

Me: "That doesn't make any sense, you sent me a faulty handset!"

TM: "I can't do anything else."

So I ask to speak to the supervisor. She was a nice lady, but really also sounded like her hands were tied, but she wouldn't escalate me to somebody else. She said the she too would be annoyed in my sitatuion, and that I might be better off with a repair anyway because that way I'll know the problem is fixed. She had a point, but I tried to push for getting the handset replaced to a Sony Ericsson, even though it was cheaper, I was happy to take the hit for a stable phone. She said the phone was tied to the contract.

So now I have to flash it back to original ROM, take it into a T-Mobile store (not easy), get a loan phone for five days, and hope they don't **** up my phone and send me some horrible refurb.

Great.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Michael_514:
FYI, I don't think it has anything to do with the backlight.

I say this because the noise is the same with and without the backlight turned on.

It really is annoying. It's terrible.

I don't even know to whom I should write.

I have the SX66, Siemens branded from Cingular.

The guy who sold it to me is not responding. So I guess I'll try Cingular on my own and see what happens........

It's really loud!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Guys, from what I've read here, you can replace the screen all you like and the noise will always come back within a month. Push for a new handset.

Send a letter is the best idea. I wrote this letter and attatched a copy of this thread and the URL as evidence. If you say "all the other service providers are replacing" it prssures them:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
T-Mobile won't budge, I'm pretty sure of that. They send them back under warranty, so hopefully the people at the repair place (not T-Mobile) will have already seen the problem and found the solution.

Chris
