hi tommy, i think you are using xp but have you installed correctly the mdem drivers? did your pc recognize through actvesync your device?

otherwise try with another complete rom such as the mirage pdxhh1 rom

[Touch Pro CDMA] Thelgord:
Not sure if I title this correctly or if I am posting this in the correct spot but here goes.

I have an AllTel Touch pro. I am working on some test apps and I know the screen res is 480x640, so I set an emulator to the same screen size and started working. Everything was goinf fine, until I decided to put one of the test apps on the phone and run it.

On both the phone and in th EMU the reported screen size is 480x640. (I use simple lable controls to confirm this. However, the placement of all my lables, one custome control, and an exit button are shifted down and to the right when run on the phone. The button (for exiting the app) was supposed to be centered on the form, and in the EMU and vs2008 designer it is. But on the phone it nearly at the bottom and all the way to the right edge of the form.

What am doing wrong?

[EDIT]

Never mind, it has to do with the diffence in DPI settings. The designer, the EMU and the phone all had diffenrent DPI's. Got the EMU to the same DPI as the phone, now to try to get the VS2008 form designer to the same DPI.

[G1 Android Development] haxor999:
Hi all,

I just got an Era-branded G1 (I'm in Poland) and would like to upgrade to the latest Android image. I understand that in order to root the device I first need to downgrade to an older image.

My question - which image should I downgrade to? I have read various posts with confusing information. Some state that RC29 works fine, others that RC29 bricked their phone (due to CID lock - not sure what this is) and to use RC7 instead. I really don't want to brick this phone and would appreciate your help!

From the Settings screen:

Model number - Era G1

Firmware version - 1.1

Baseband version - 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29

Kernel version - 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android-build@apa27 #6

Build number - 126400

Thanks for your help!

Why can I not just use the instructions in the sticky thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480? Will this not work on the Polish G1 with build number 126400?

If not then I will try to follow the thread kormanb1123 linked. I know linux so it should not be a problem. But should I be worried about downgrading to the "right" RC, or does it not matter if I take US RC-29 or UK RC-7?

Thanks guys for the help! Smokuevo - nie jestem polakiem i nie mowie bardzo po polsku.. ale dzieki!

[G1 Android Development] haxor999:
cannot get into bootloader?

I'm getting ready to use the method described in kormanb1123's link. First I thought I would check that I can get into the bootloader - but somehow I cannot :(

This is what I do:

- power off the G1

- press the camera button

- now also press the power button until the G1 turns on

- then let go of both the camera and power buttons

Then I get:

The normal blue startup screen with blue Era G1 logo, followed by the black screen with glowing android logo, and then it boots into Android.

This is exactly the normal startup process! What am I doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] djind:
Do not let go of camera button until you are in bootloader. Turn off your phone. Hold camera button and then press on/off button for a second or two until it strats up. Keep holding the camera button and let go when you are in bootloader..
[G1 Android Development] haxor999:
Ok, thanks for clarifying. I did exactly that and kept holding the camera button after powering on. However, the phone just boots straight into android. It looks just like a normal startup in every way, and asks me to unlock my SIM. No bootloader in sight.

Could it be that this build (126400) works differently?
[G1 Android Development] kormanb1123:
Try to remove battery first than, and start over. It has to start inti bootloader.
[G1 Android Development] haxor999:
still cannot get into bootloader..

I removed the battery and put it back in. But starting up while holding the camera button still does not do anything special.

But when I start up while holding Home then I see a black screen with an icon that looks like a triangle with a '!' inside it. Will this allow me to flash it?
[G1 Android Development] bhang:
once you have root you can use the black screen you found to use update.zips to upgrade your phone, there is no update.zip that will downgrade at this point(if ever)from any image RC29-up.

to get the dreamimg.nbh which is what im assuming your looking to do, make sure the card is fat32(they come formatted to just FAT)put the file on the root of the card and it should be cam+power keep both pressed for a good 6 seconds or more

its quite easy once you have the steps correct, there is a possibility your carrier blocked access to the stock HTC bootloader, but Ive never heard of them ever doing that, its there for their own tech to use, they need it as much as we do to fix/upgrade(tho they could just use home+power) but I doubt, that key combo has been the same on every htc Ive ever owned (about a dozen over 5 or 6 models)

good luck,

bhang
[G1 Android Development] haxor999:
Thanks bhang for the explanation. I've triple-checked everything and am still not able to reach the bootloader. I will try with a 2nd SD card and see if that makes a difference - right now I'm using the 2GB SD card that came with the G1.

I really hope they did not disable bootloader access as you mention. Anyone here have another Era-branded G1 that was originally running build 126400?
[G1 Android Development] Misiek_ud:
I have the same G1 as u haxor and my bootloader starts. I'm only afraid of update type correct for my phone G1 Era PL. I don't want to lock it :( Is enybody who did it correctly and who knows which update should I use?

Thank for help an asap answer
[G1 Android Development] gambiting:
I bought Era G1 for myself 3 days ago,and I have that 126400 build,and for me the debug mode(power on+camera button) works. But I'm still afraid to downgrade my phone,as I don't know which version, US or UK I should use. Output from the debug mode:

DREA110 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

Sep 8 2008

Serial 0

Does anyone know which version should I use to downgrade my phone?
[G1 Android Development] aluspl:
Era G1 can be downgrade only with GoldCard ... if you are from poland, you must see forum.android.com.pl ... if not ... you must search topic called downgrade for g1 from Europe ... maybe:)
[G1 Android Development] gambiting:
Why is that? I found on that forum that Era G1 uses RC8 firmware,so in theory I should be able to downgrade to RC7.....what might happen if I try? Will I brick my phone,or it simply won't run?
[G1 Android Development] gambiting:
Ok I found out why is that, upgrade won't start,because of the wrong ID of the SD card. You need to use the GoldCard method for this to work.
[G1 Android Development] jakubd:
I just went through the whole procedure with my Era G1 (with different operator SIM inside) from 126400 all the way down to RC29 and up to JFv1.43_RC9. In short words how I did it:

1. Create GoldCard using old (still free) version of qmat_424.zip and any Windows Mobile device with microSD

2. SD flash of DREAIMG-RC29.zip

3. Get root access using telnetd/telnet

4. Install recovery.img and flash Hard-SPL

5. Upgrade using the recovery JFv1.43_RC9 wiping all the settings on the way.

Don't forget to recharge fully the battery before starting this madness.

I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for!

Has anyone managed to crack how to get backgrounds to look OK on the new Manila when in landscape mode? the closest i've seen so far is the blue max theme, but I don't want a blue theme or an analog clock!

Does anyone know how to get landscape backgrounds/wallpaper working properly?

failing that, does anyone know which .manila files I would need to edit?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Blessed HD:
Well, I did manage to do that somehow..

Basically, you'll need a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper..

Doing so, you'll have wallapapers that support landscape mode, but not all would work!

Have a look at mine :rolleyes:

I tried installling it over Dutty V2 with Max blue theme, and my manilla got FUBAR. It got stuck and tabs disappeared.

Guess this only replaces original v3 manilla?

edit: just took a look at the .cab. Are you sure it installs everything? Looking at the setup xml, it doesn't do anything with the "BACKGR~1.000" file..?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] chaosdefinesorder:
Right, I think people are mis-understanding here!

I am after (and this thread is about) changing the background picture ON MANILA V3 (as in Dutty Xtreme and other ROMs) Manili V3 supports landscape mode, but currently the background picture doesn't stretch or re-orientate itself to accomodate landscape images. Instead it appears to centre the image around the middle of the portrait screen, and remain locked in that position in landscape mode.

This thread is NOT about making Manila V2 (as in Stock HD) LOOK like Manili V3:mad:

Blessed HD, I've tried doing it that way, but unfortunately, given the images I use for my backgrounds, the resulting images are significantly worse quality than normal:( Otherwise, this method does work and does result in a full-screen-width image in landscape.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Blessed HD:
By using a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper!

As for the clock & buttom bar;

Clock: I used Max's Analog Clock for Dutty's ROM

Buttom Bars: 12aon Iphone Renaissance Icons / Text theme Icons

Transparant Buttom bar + transparant slider
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Blessed HD:
Exactly !

& that's why I'm using this method until someone figures it out :D

Another solution here is to use pattern wallpapers, not the ones with a spacific picture in the middle.. & try to maintain its graphic quality within the 800X480 pixels..

There should be a trick to it.. but I don't know how........
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] chaosdefinesorder:
Yeah, I'm curious to find out whether there's a specific Manila file for portrait and landscape or whether it's just the one file scaled/stretched for both...

If there's sparate files, then that could be used to good avantage!

Don't have the time to filter through each and every .manila file to find them though!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] WaaZaa:
The way I got to understand it, is that there is 2 files for landscape and 2 for portrait.

Check my post here as well, might clear things up.

Depending on whether you are using Vista or Xp.

Try this: Go to Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC

> if there is a check mark by "Enable faster data sych.......Remove and see if this fixes your problem.

Secondly, if you flashed your ROM then make sure you remove the previous Device Partnership in your Activesync settings and make a NEW PARTNERSHIP.

Hope this helps!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orangecrush:
Have a quick question.

If I use for instance, Dutty's 1.9 and do a sprite backup afterwards, if I were to upgrade to 1.9b for instance, can I use the sprite restore?

Will it rewrite over the new upgraded ROM and thus restore it back to 1.9 or will it leave 1.9b in there and restore "other" files.

I ask because everytime I upgrade a ROM, I always reinstall everything.

So I was wondering if I could save myself some work.

Thanks,

Mark
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] amm009uk:
Don't do it

The restore will most likely work but its not really worth the risk to import some registry entries (or files) that may not be compatible with the new ROM. PITA but I reinstall each time. Its a price we have to pay:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] orangecrush:
Thanks, that's what I did... just reinstall. It's definitely a PIA but at least I know there shouldn't be any glitches.

I already read a lot in this forum but could not find any working solution.

My Prophet was upgraded to IPL/SPL 3.08 and won't turn on unless I connect +5v pn pin 1 and ground on pin 6. Doing this I can go to tricolor screen.

I tried to flash IPL/SPL 2.20 but after the reboots it comes back with IPL/SPL 3.08.

Any ideas how to downgrade the IPL/SPL ?

3. Got prophet SOFT SPL into the phone device root.

4. Run SOFT SPL. Got a white Screen (Witch is normal. This is the SSPL bootloader screen)

Hi,

I recently installed the new official HTC Firmware Upgrade on my Touch Pro.

ROM: 5.05.405.1 WWE

ROM Date: 01/22/09

Radio: 1.11.25.01

After installing, i cannot seem to get a GPS fix, have been trying for last 4 hours. I did all the usual, ran the Quick GPS etc. My external TomTom receiver works fine and TomTom then runs ok on the Touch Pro.

GPS set to COM4 as before

Has anyone else had any problems since upgrading to the new firmware?

Funny enough, i tried this morning and got a fix in about 20 seconds! So could well have been just a temp thing.

does anybody know the soluction?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mgumbs:
Yes, i do mean the HTC website ROM.

I tried again on the way back from work after reinstalling GPSED, it is still working. No idea why it refused on the Sunday.

Try obtaining a fix in an open area for a start, once it gets its first fix after the upgrade, subsequent ones should be easier.

Same problem here, flashed 5 days ago, intermitent gps signal (like a pulse fix / no fix) or none at all. Even try with different radios (Radio 1.02.25.32 / 1.02.25.28) and the baud rate to 57600 in my apps.:confused:

I can't be sure is due to new ROM because I flash it on my newer Fuze and never try GPS fix before. I have to say that I own a Touch pro almost a year ago and at the same time side by side get a fix in cold 10-30 seconds and warm 2-5 seconds (with a cooked ROM from "jespi2005" Radio 1.02.25.32)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Yoshi2k:
Hi,

I think I have a solution.Download the HTC GPS Tool (e.g. from here http://rs276.rapidshare.com/files/84815853/Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab)

-Check if you have AGPS disabled (e.g. with Advanced Config)

-Update QuickGPS

-Install HTC GPS Tool

-Run HTC GPS Tool

-Check the Correct Com Port (Settings - > External GPS)

-Set Baudrate to 57600

-Press open

-Select Cold Start from the Dropdown list

-Mark the Repeat Selectbox

-Press Nav. Init.

-Now It can take 1 or 2 hours

-Check the status via the satelit tab

If nothing works, press Close, reset your PPC, select Clear Memory from the select box, press Nav. Init. and wait about 15 Minutes and reset your PPC again. Repeat the procedure above. You can also try the other options in the drop down box. I don't know the options I used anymore, but now it works.

My problem was, that I was to impatient and thought, that anything must be broken. So try this method and I hope it works.

I found this solution in the german forum www.ppc-welt.info (direct link for all german speaking people: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=133565)
