Ok...

So I woke up this morning to an update request on my UK T-Mobile G1. However, I've been running JF ADP 1.5 rooted build for at least a week!

If you click on details is says that it is a bootloader update, that will then be followed by a further update. This leads me to believe that my bootloader is not up-to-date?

I have had a look around, but am a little confused, as I previous installed the JF RC9 1.43, which included the bootloader (or the version before did).

On going into the recovery utility - it appears to have reverted to a 'standard' bootloader one (e.g. with triangle with !). I have re-installed the Engineering Bootloader, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference (don't know if it didn't install correctly!)

Anyway, anyone got an idea of how to stop the network update message?
[G1 General] n0ahg:
The triangle with the ! is the recovery screen, the boot loader is either the rainbow colours or the skating androids.

My phone is running the eu 1.5 gfh firmware and I'm getting the same update. I think it's trying to put back the rainbow boot loader with fastboot support.
[G1 General] smccaldin:
So i'm clearly getting confused...

When I go into recovery mode (e.g. Home + Power) I used to get a JF console, now I get triangle !

I was just trying to guess at what had changed... All I really want is the update message to disappear!
[G1 General] n0ahg:
The change would be to the boot loader

see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=455860
[G1 General] smccaldin:
Ok - so I've tried:

1) Re-doing the Bootloader

2) Re-installing the update (JF ADP 1.5)

3) Re-installing (or installing for the first time) the 1.5 radio from HTC website

Still keep getting the update request... I'm out of idea's! Any further suggestions more than welcome...
[G1 General] N3xt2N0N3:
I have a US G1 but if i was you i would do the whole rooting process over again download the RC7.NBH rename it DREAMIMG.NBH redo the root hack than install JF ADP 1.5.

Thats your best bet

The how to is here
[G1 General] smccaldin:
:-(

Unfortunately, that's pretty much the only thing I had thought of too...

But I haven't received any updates since rooting (e.g. since Dec) - so am not convinced that it will solve the problem.
[G1 General] N3xt2N0N3:
Well did you try it? It doesn't hurt to try it

[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
Try reflashing...if that doesn't work it's a hardware problem (so warranty should cover that)

Hi there, I'm Steve from London, England.

I got my new Touch HD 3 days ago and over the past few days I've been trying to figure out how it works (first Windows phone) and once I found this site i've been reading up and downloading the various .cab's i liked the look of.

Just thought I'd say hi and post a few pics of how she looks in her current incarnation.

Many many many many MANY thanks to all who created the following programs and made it easy for n00bs like me to modify my Touch HD

I installed:

thank you again.

On top of apps you have installed, I'd recommend the following attached files to name a few
[Touch HD General] InsolentMinx:
Thanks Fallen :)

just doing some reading about "AEBPlus", "eLiAs_ASyncKiller" and "FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly"

...just done some reading about AEBPlus and will give it a go.

Installed ASyncKiller,

and can't find much info about the other, but i like the battery icon in my topbar at the moment.

I had Advanced Config, but i didn't like it, it was screwing with my battery and reception icons for some reason.

Didn't like finger keyboard either as it's got the up,down,left, right arrows in the middle of the landscape querty (which bothered me :) )
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Each to there own, thats why I like WM, so versitile and everyone does it differently!!
[Touch HD General] InsolentMinx:
:)

I can't tell if ASyncKiller works or not.

I ran it, and async was still showing up.

So i did the "fake server" trick, and it works a treat :D

i love this phone.

if only there was a .cab to let it make me a cup of coffee..........
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] agent86:
Hi,

I got given a couple of Treo 750 phones. Both on the Optus Australian Network so I scratched around for days and found the upgrade software. Shows update 2.27

1st one went perfect.

2nd one on same computer got through copying files and executing update and stalled at the start of completing update.

I got the Windows mobile screen show and it just was not loading for ages. Previous one loaded and then asked for input of Date, touch screen settings etc.

The installer can be re run but says no USB connection at the moment.

I have done a hard reset and get the palm display then locks on the Windows Mobile screen.

I saw procedures to use the Mini SD card but the cards I have won't work in any treo, they are not SDHC type but standard 2G ones.

I next found the recovery tool but holding the left lower button and then hitting reset did not work but does work on my good phone where it shows the coloured bars and SPL....

The left button is a bit dodgy so I suspect it may be faulty. Is there anything else I can try?

EDIT: Ok I pulled apart the phone, looks like it had a hard life as broken case around two screws and they would not unscrew easily. Found the tiny button had dry solder joints. Fixed that up and was able to recover using the reset proceedure.

Phone now working.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] webafile:
could you explain in more detail what you did. thanks man
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] agent86:
What would you like to know?

Once I physicaly repaired the phone as indicated in the edit I was able to hold the left hand button (which was faulty) and the reset at the same time that allowed me to get into the SPL mode and recover the phone.

I understand it very little and most posts on these forums are over my head.

I would like windows 6.1 but there is so much information that seems to conflict that I don't know I am game since it is now working on an official 6.0 Optus version.

I am happy to help but if you can maybe tell me where you are at the moment and what you want to acheive and what you have tried I hope I can fill in the gaps for you.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] webafile:
because im new to this to and i got stuck in the windows screen also. so i would like to know what to download and where from and step by step if you could please.

Try the method describe in the thread below - Mine work

Hi, you might want to try this method

Follow it one by one and do not skip a step

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=460783

I just did mine last Saturday (it was a Vodafone phone)

AT&T should be easier since the Windows 6 ROM is easier to get

If you'd like to update to WM 6.1, you should upgrade first to WM 6

Something i read about the radio not working to full capacity if you upgrade straight to 6.1

As for the WM 6 ROM, i'm sure you can find it

Good luck
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] fossil695:
Hi All,

I have a Treo 750 and it WAS running WM 6.0 Professional (OFFICIAL) and I got it onto the phone and then tried to install WM 6.5 and then I downgraded to 5.0 and tried to update back to 6 and it bricked my treo, any of you wonderful xda ppl have any solution?

Also, I have tried installing the ROM again (via SD updater) and it looks like this:

SPLASH1 OK

BOOTLOAD OK

GSM OK

Micro P OK

EXTROM FAIL

OS

Update Terminate

UPDATE FAIL

I cant install the windows installer one as WMDC 6.1 or ActiveSync 4.5 WILL NOT show the device up on the computer. I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and when I tried MTTY, the only ports I get are COM1, COM2, and COM3. I can't get the usb to show up. Even with MTTY 0.01 when I got the USB connection, it would not open. Is it Vista? Or am I not doing it right? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TO GET MY POOR TREO BACK!!!!!!!!! :(

Thanks

I can see a folder in System/Media called Audio but neither of the files mentioned (maybe hidden though).I'm having a look as the doc probably refers to Android 1.1 on the G1.

I'm only just starting to mess about with this so not sure where to go now...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] duffnut:
I'm new to android, but I'm going to assume it's the same as linux. Hidden files are any file that starts with a dot. in order to see them, you can just do:

# ls -a

which should show everything
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jbelman:
The startup splash logo is logo.rle

The media folder in system only contains an audio folder for system sounds.

You'll need to get your head around GNUWin32 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ to create and package a new .rle at a guess, playing with this now to see if I can get anywhere.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Have you guys searched the dream forums, we have the ability to change splash and boot screens, now you have root you should be able to do the nessicary adb stuff. I would guess your file structure is different so don't just do this blindly.

Hi,

have anyone changed the VF splash screen with the G1 mode (Tutorial)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
with windows or linux (on wine + net framework 2):

1)download this

password "androidsocket"

2)with createG1splash create your splash (mysplash.rgb565) from a gif or png 332x498

3)put the splash file ( mysplash.rgb565 ) in sdk tools/ directory

4)boot the magic in fastboot mode (witch back+power)

5)on terminal (in sdk tools/ path):

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot reboot

(you need haykuro spl to flash splash screen!)

in this thread there are some splash jpg/gif !

I'm a muppet!

So... I've now downloaded the radio and SPL zip file and placed them in my <sdk>/tools directory.

What next?

I tried to use adb but no devices are found! :mad: Should I be booting the phone in Fastboot mode or normal? Should the phone be mounted? Does it even matter?

Any help would be greatfully received.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pdagenius:
You need to follow the Wiki step by step and get everything working in order :)

For ADB you need USB debugging mode on the phone and the correct USB drivers on your PC. If you have previously connected the phone and mounted the SD card as a drive before you tried ADB you may not have the correct USB driver. In which case you should connect the phone and update the driver via Device Manager using the files from the SDK. When you connect your phone, do not mount the SD drive.

You only need to put your phone in Fastboot mode when you come to use the Fastboot commands.

Hope this helps. Good luck :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] moremadness2001:
Result

The issue was the USB Driver and what a ***** it is to install if you have not set Android to debug mode. But here is how to do it thanks to Petrus @ http://groups.google.com/group/andr...ad/ab6e89c4b51cd905/eb3065fa08fbe158?lnk=raot

Problem is that the first time you plugged your Magic, I bet you

didn't

have Settings -> Applications -> Development -> enable USB debugging

checked.

If so, you are *stuck* But here is the remedy.

Unplug your mobile

Google for a nice utility named USBDeview, download it, start it.

In the list you will see one or more "Android Phone": for each of

them, right click -> uninstall selected

(Be careful to have:

Settings -> Applications -> Development -> enable USB debugging

checked.)

and replug your phone.

You should have Vista politely ask you to find where the driver is.

Go to your <Android SDK>\usb_driver\x86.

Thanks for your help!

how to back up the original one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] migalito:
Great tutorial, thanks.

Only one question, how can I backup the original image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saverv:
hi, finally i succeeded in making the backup of splash screen!

i downloaded Amon-RA recovery image v1.4.0 (it's for Dream, but with my Magic 32G it worked), then, in fastboot mode:

1 - fastboot boot recovery-RA-dream-v1.4.0.img (or the name of recovery image)

2 - nandroid backup

then, on your sdcard nandroid folder you can find the file splash1.img and the other backup images.

you can check the splash image renaming it in splash1.img.rgb565 and then converting it in .png (there are some tools on internet you can find to do this).

Amon-RA recovery v1.4.0 is the only version i've found that supports splash images backup, anyway you don't need to flash it...

hope this helps :)

sorry for my english!
