[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepole:
Hello,

Everything work fine till that breakdown...

After a aborted sync of gmail i got a message from acore.google somthing and htc desire freeze. I release the batterry then it start to loop as it was brick...

I'am stuck between hboot and recovery.

MY PHONE IS S-OFF, WITH ORIGINAL ORANGE (FRANCE TELECOM) ROM, THE PHONE ISN'T ROOTED

I'm on mint olivia so i can play with terminal....

I succeed to talk to the phone with fastboot.

sudo fastboot getvar all

I don't got enough skills to go further.

I'd like to mainly backup my contacts

But it seem that if i launch the below command

fastboot oem unlock

i'll loose all my data...

I DO like to know a way to recover my contacts, and more datas if it's possible...

With adb command i got

adb devices
List of devices attached
SH096PL07475	offline

I can have that in recovery mode and i only obtain a black screen with a red ! in middle.

If i insist i can enter another menu in blue on black but few option are there

factory reset

reboot

update from a zip on sd card

clear cache

It don't solve my problem

Thanks for help

Merci de m'eclairer

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
"fastboot oem unlock" is only for nexus devices I believe. This unlocks their bootloaders.

Do not use this on the Desire. You don't need to use this command anyway, not sure what you're trying to achieve by doing this.

You are already S-OFF, therefore your bootloader is already unlocked.

To get it back:

- Download the 4EXT recovery.zip from the 4EXT thread

- Unzip and find the recovery.img

- Flash the recovery.img with fastboot

- Boot into recovery

- Make a nandroid backup

- Backup your sd card to PC

- Use 4EXT to partition your sd card (max 2GB ext4 partition, no swap)

- Copy the backup back to the sdcard

- Copy a custom ROM.zip to the sdcard as well

- In recovery, full wipe (wipe all partitions except sd card)

- Flash the ROM

- Install something like Titanium Backup or Nandroid Manager, there should be an option to extract data from the nandroid backup. Hopefully you can extract 'Contacts' or 'Contacts Storage' restore your contacts.

If you manage to extract your contacts from the nandroid backup, B]please learn how to backup your contacts to your Gmail account[/B], that's the point of an Android phone ;)

If you do this, it doesn't matter if you lose your phone, your contacts are synced and backed up safely. Do not store your contacts only on the SIM or phone.

remote not allowed error

Thanks eddiehk6....

So i get the recovery.img.

I put it (with md5 and another file) in the same folder as fastboot in sdk plateform tools.

I obtain an error : not allowed....

sudo fastboot flash recovery '/home/lepole/Documents/android sdk/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140321/sdk/platform-tools/recovery.img'
[sudo] password for lepole:

OKAY [ 0.551s]

so how can i do to succeed to flash that recovery img ?

Thanks

David
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Are you definitely S-OFF?

Can you boot to bootloader and write what it says?

Are you definitely trying to flash the recovery.img when it is booted into fastboot mode (the phone should say "fastboot usb")
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepole:
S-off and fastboot usb on my screen...

hello,

i'm on fastboot usb it's write in red.

i got green lines upon where it's write:

bravo pvt3 ship s-off

hboot-0.93.0001

Microp-051d

touch panel-synt0101

radio-5.11.05.27

aug 10 2010.17:52:18

And yes i'm tryiong to make that command:

sudo fastboot flash recovery '/home/lepole/Documents/android sdk/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140321/sdk/platform-tools/recovery.img'
sending 'recovery' (4042 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.588s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.589s

so maybe i'm not really s-off ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Is there anything written in pink at the top of ur bootloader details?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepole:
Maybe i can try this solution...

Hello,

i read a lot of post to find a solution but before to start i need advice, to avoid making mistakes.

So if I created a new zip file named "PB99IMG.zip " (seem to be that) or update.zip.

And if I put the recovery.img and a android-info.txt in it as seen there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226801&page=2.

BUT i don't really know the content of thatandroid-info.txt.

After it seem important to MID (how can i get it) and CID (how can i get it) in the txt-file have to match to my device.

After that, I put the zip file onto my sdcard into the root directory.

Then I started my device into bootloader and accepted the requested update. After that, I hope to get my new recovery...

What do you think... am i wrong...

Is there another way ?

AND No nothing at all...in pink/ no text

so...

Thanks for answer...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
K. Thought it might of said relocked. Anyway i created 4ext recovery as PB99IMG check my sig.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I think you have a rare device which shipped factory s-off, but is not the same as s-off which we use.

Otherwise it would say 'revolutionary' or 'alpharev' in pink at the top, and hboot would also be 6.93.001 instead of 0.93.001.

I still thought you'd be able to flash recovery though.

Try PB99IMG.zip method as above. Put it on the root of your sdcard (not any folder), and boot into bootloader. Forget about .txt files

If it doesn't work I think you'll have to flash RUU but you'd lose everything. (This is the exact reason why you backup your contacts to your Gmail account and not the phone)

Edit: search for guides on 'revolutionary', try to run it before trying RUU, not sure if it will work when booted into bootloader though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Was thinking that too coz he has superCID (11111111) and u cant supercid the desire, well we cant anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepole:
Success !!! anquestion for root the desire and read the content of data.img

Hello,

this morning i try with the zip from jmcclue link there:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1751258

And it work i got a brand new recovery...

so THANKS

Now is there a way to get back the contacts from the backup i made....

With sdk ?

I find a data.img but i can open it.

So if you know some tuto

Now i need some advice to maybe custom as better as possible this device.

So can i rooted the "desire" ?

and which ROM can you advice me...

Thanks

Dvaid
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I don't know how to extract or read the data.img, only the method I mentioned before may work.

Because your situation is more difficult and you want to get your contacts back, I first recommend trying a stock rooted sense ROM which is most similar to your original France telecom ROM.

Therefore find the stock rooted 2.2 or 2.3 ROM to match

Then:

I can't guarantee this will work, as have never tried it myself.

Get your contacts back first, then think about another custom ROM. You have to think about what you want, try a few before deciding.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
It is a better longer term option for everyone...Especially given how Samsung has chosen to ignore their formerly flagship phone wrt updates. Further the much waited 4.4 update is probably the last if I had a=to bet.

Galaxy Gear only works, so far as I know, with unrooted stock (yuck) touchwiz ROMs on select devices of Samsung's arbitrary choice. You're better served both now and later with not spending the $200+USD on Samsung locked hardware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I have seen users with smoothest claim gear works. Smoothest is a n3 stockish rooted ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sand1303:
I don't mind running stock touchwiz. I actually recently unrooted and returned to stock 4.3 when I was planning on trying to sell my baby and I don't mind it one bit. I have never been a fan of aosp so staying stock isn't the end of the world for me

Hi there!

I was just wondering if there is any sort of software out there that you can get for Windows that can handle incoming and outgoing calls on an Android Device. Most likely, you would have the app installed on your mobile as well as the computer. Then you would be able to reject/access incoming calls, or send out outgoing calls all via your laptop! (and possible your android at the same time!)

Does anyone know of anything of the sort?

[Motorola Droid 3] saadow:
Hi guys, I'm back again with a noob moment!

So I have this problem with the physical keyboard in my XT861 Milestone 3, it's been radio unlocked so it believes it's the Chinese XT883.

Some people with this phone have said they have problems with the physical keyboard, and some have suggested from google search results that a software upgrade fixed it. Now, I did check to see if there was a software upgrade available, but since this is just using the radio.img and nothing else, I didn't know if using the software update button was a smart idea. It doesn't sound like it. Any ideas on how I can address the problem? Is the update function safe? This phone -was- pretty badly beat up, it stands to reason things may have shifted internally, the lights on the smart buttons on the glass look like they're not centered right, and the key presses sometimes don't register and sometimes double-register. I just figured I'd approach the problem from software first since others reported similar.

Admittedly, the time without a solid useful keyboard has gotten me used to Swype (which doesn't like working after the radio update, so I basically used root uninstaller, got rid of the on-board swype, and installed a new one which works fine) but I would rather use my keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
1. update will probably fail if you edited the build.prop and/or removed any stock apks

2. update will likely change radio back to stock

3. It likely is a XT883 update

4. unlikely that update will help physical keyboard issues.

If your on the old bootloader you do not need the new one to flash a custom rom via recovery. It's recommend to install a kit kat modem.
