Thanks, I thought that might have something to do with it.

Now back to Voda system, data and recovery with the spl linked above. Should that now get me back to being tied to vodafones OTA updates?

I'm new to Android, so I'm not sure how much of a restriction / or not this is? Are OTA updates common/regular/likely to add anything worthwhile (well, I guess cupcake was...but you probably all had that anyway)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Thanks, with a bit more research I finally stumbled on the solution.

Had to restore to crb17 from the link on the thread above, and then flash the original recovery in fastboot, then the OTA update to crb43 worked perfectly!

Phew!

I'll probably re-root sooner or later, can't help but play around on this device :0 so much more to play with than my iPhone he he

Apologies if this thread annoys anyone who says I should have searched better to start with, I did, and read many threads but theres a lot to take in!

Anyways, maybe someone else has same problem and this might have helped
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fxn:
and to make it easier for future searchers could you compile a detailed list of step-by-step instructions for doing this? Could be handy for a wiki somewhere :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
OK, will add details later, but briefly

To restore to factory:

1) Download and follow instructions to flash the crios spl (one with older version reported)

2) Download and follow included instructions to flash the SFR CRB17 image using included recovery.img (boot dont flash it)

3) Download and flash original recovery image (again from crios) can be found at thread linked earlier in this one.

Reboot, and go through usual setup etc OTA update will be on its way :)

Be sure to remove any update.zip from your SD before attempting ther OTA update, ie before first boot if possible

It's actually really easy now I know how, and took about 20min in total (probably less)

ive just tried doing my 1st rom flash and i made big mistake .

i tried update my orange phone to latest miri rom from a stock rom. at first all my colours where wrong so i just threw the original orange rom into wrapper to get back to normal but that didnt help so i then flashed with miri again and colours still messed up . .so in end i just ran the hspl wrapper and everything seems right now . so i think but im just wondering if i made mistake somewhere because if i open a picture and click zoom the little box opens in corner with - and + but nothing happens when i press to zoom.

[Touch Pro CDMA] mstevens:
Can you please tell me a non-fraudulent reason for wanting to clear the lifetime timer?

Isn't the whole point of the timer to be able to tell how much usage that particular phone has been subjected to? Wouldn't clearing it, by definition, obviate any usefulness of the timer?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Dr.8820:
it can't be done. otherwise, all refurbished phones would be "new". sprint doesn't do it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] skydve1:
I did it with QPST with my PPC6700. I had purchased several 6700's from ebay at one point and used them to figure out QPST.

I'm sure it can be done with the Touch Pro using the same method.

[G1 Android Development] dagentooboy:
I posted this a while back but it was buried in another thread....

Steps 1-3 are from here

Step 4 is from here

IF YOU HAVE ONE SD CARD:

1. Upload new SPL on your microSD and rename to "update.zip"

2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode.

3. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 4.

4. Use ADB to mount the SD card from recovery

adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
##wait till your SDcard mounts in Windows and rename your OS update to update.zip##
reboot recovery

When the recovery screen comes up Alt+s and you should be good to go

I am just putting this in one place. The guides came from JesusFreke, haykuro, and matt_stang

Let's face it people. When the TP2 was announced it was looking like a great device and a possible Xperia replacement. Now, after it is out, I can safely say that it has both bad hardware and software. I will hang tight to my Xperia for the time being. :D

Here is why I do not like the TP2:

No 3.5 m headphone jack :eek:- LOL. In 2009...............

No flash/LED on the camera - Again, it is 2009 and this is a high end device.....:confused:

No D-pad or other directional buttons on the front - They say the software is optimized for that kind of use. Well, what about the 10k apps I want to install, that require a d-pad?

No FM radio/disabled by firmware - Why??? That is the stupidest decision by a phone manufactirer ever. :confused:

Same processor as the TP. 520mhz qualcom, although the TP2 has an older version !!!!!!!!! - Older version on a model that is supposed to be a successor??? :confused:

TP - MSM 7201 A

TP2 - MSM 7200 A

Same storage space as the TP.

Same ammount of RAM, although the TP2 has 20mb LESS RAM available to it. I repeat, the newer version has less RAM available!!!

TP2 has a better battery than the TP, BUT worse battery life! How about that huh???

Good things:

Nice screen. (tilting)

5 row keyboard. (awesome)

Noise cancelation.

How is the Touch Pro 2 an upgrade?? It has ther same or LOWER specs than the Touch Pro. I feel cheated by HTC :(. My advice is - Keep your Touch Pro or Xperia and wait for the TP3 or X2.......

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
I haven´t tested myself

But I must agree with you!

How possible is no 3.5mm jack??

My Universal from 2005 has it and is extremelñy usefull!, of course an adapter can be found but....

Don´t want to repat all your points but thank you very much for pointing it here

Not a real replacemet for my beloved Universal not even for Xperia

Let´s hear what users have to say about this
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mallman:
Some good points but I disagree with:

1. No 3.5 m headphone jack - LOL. In 2009 - I never understood why anyone would want an extra hole in their device. the adapter works perfect for me and yes, its 2009, i have wireless headphones lol.

2. No FM radio/disabled by firmware - Why??? That is the stupidest decision by a phone manufactirer ever - i installed the cab and it works perfect. who cares how it comes if you can simply install a cab file to change it. All part of customizing your device IMHO

3. Same processor as the TP. 520mhz qualcom, although the TP2 has an older version !!!!!!!!! - Older version on a model that is supposed to be a successor??? - do you actually know this proc is worse or are you just saying this due to the model #?

4. Same storage space as the TP. - who cares about internal storage when you have an expansion card?

5. TP2 has a better battery than the TP, BUT worse battery life! How about that huh??? - not sure where you got that lol. my tp2 has much better battery life then the tp1

not really feeling you advice not to buy it. I had an HD and this phone blows it away in every way. just my 2 cents
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orelsi:
1 - Yes, having an adapter is so cool......... I want to plug my headphones not look for the stupid adapter EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

Wireless headphones are used by a very small percent of people. Most people (like me) prefer NOT to have two devices to charge when you want to take your music with you.

2 - That is not customizing. Installing programs and tweaking is customizing. This is poor care for the customer on HTC's part and smells of an unfinished device. How would you feel if they had left out TouchFlo 3D? Or part of it?

3 - That is what I know from doing my research. If my info is correct.

4 - I do. Many apps don't work if you install them on the SD card. They auto install in the main storage.

5 - All the reviews I have seen mention it, plus a friend of mine has both phones and has confirmed that for me.

Agreed on the part that TP2 is better than the HD. HD sucks even more. You should definitely make the upgrade to TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ninja.rogue:
I have the following phones:

Kaiser

Diamond

Touch HD

Xperia

Touch Pro 2

and have bought them in that order - never sold any of these

I agree with Mallman: can't see the point in saying that it sucks.

I have been using my TP2 today with the following usage:

140' phone calls (onehundred forty)

20' Opera browsing

Exchange mail push always on

2 POP3 mail account syncing with 10' time frame.

Received and read over 50 mails.

Still have 10% battery left after 14 hours of THAT kind of use - just out of the box, haven't had the time to work on energy consumption parameters under Advanced Config.

Can't really see any difference with my Xperia. Touch HD has performed less.

Radio is ok.

Have a 8 GB SDHC card, with extreme satisfaction.

And believe me, I have tried all the keyboards of these phones, nothing compares to this one. Screen is superb, speed also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
IT has BETTER battery life (don't listen to pocketnow.com, they are the onlyones who are saying that. FM radio has been left out. Reason unknown, so hard to say if it is a bad decision. Does the processor id number mean it's older? Has it been released before? It's not always so that a higher number means newer.

The TP2 is actually faster (not only touch flo 3D) then the touch pro.

Maybe they should make also a HDMI and firewire connection...... That would make sense. There are really small usb mini to 3,5 minijack converters. ANd the mini usb is multi functional.

Please stop talking about the flash, there have been real flash phones, but only very little. This is because after 3 flashes, the battery is empty. That LED light, was fun, but never really used it. keyboard has been improved. Original wm 6.5 upgrade.

Looks are much better. I almost never used my dpad, only when something was to small to select. But the bigger screen and better resolution solves that. I have to admit that a jogdial (like on the hermes) would be a good thing.

So in your oppinion every device has to have a mini jack? So I think you get that I don't agree with you :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orelsi:
I was at a club last night with some friends and it was kinda dim. My Xperia was the only phone with any kind of flash and I was the only one that could take pics. I really can't imagine anyone arguing in favour of not having a flash. That is hilarious. Same goes for 3.5mm jacks.

I had a couple of devices without D-pads (including HD for a while). I have to say that many of the apps require a D-pad or are easier to work with, if you have one.

Agreed on the screen, keyboard and looks (as mentioned in the OP).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ninja.rogue:
For the lack of flash, you are completely right.

I see no point in selling phones without a flash - even a sucking one would be better than nothing.

As for me, I use these phones for my job, so usually in daylight.

Wish I had more spare time to spend in clubs during the night: would have certainly a different phone :D ;) :p

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
all i gotta say is this: have you actually used the device? half of whats written on the web is not from actual use but pure conjecture. i actually own the device and have an x1 and blackstone. x1 cannot compare with this phone on any level. blackstone has a bigger screen and that about it! when you actually use the device then i will take on board your views but for now as an actual owner i am sorry to say your research is inaccurate, my experience is hands on!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajbopp:
Don't think I'd be laughing out TOO loudly at the lack of a 3.5 jack. In 2009 people are still using the things? Good heavens, get up to date!

No camera flash? Yeah it would be nice, but hardly a show stopper not having one.

No D-PAD? Erm...that's kinda the point, isn't it? If you want a D-PAD that badly, then of course you don't want this phone. I have over 40 application on my Vogue and I almost never use the D-PAD. I can't wait to get a phone that gets rid of the space-waster.

FM Radio disabled? There may be a good reason - too early to tell. Same was true of my Vogue's GPS chip. Took awhile to get a firmware update, but disabling it by default was the best option they had at the time.

Old Qualcomm Chip - Well, they didn't need to update the chip, did they? They saved a boatload of money by not manufacturing it with a new chip, and spent far less money instead optimizing the speed of the firmware. Pretty good deal, I'd say.

Same storage space - There's a handful of apps that require storage on board, but it's not likely you're going to run into so many of those that you run out of space when you have even a modest sized storage card.

20 MB less RAM - ok, so you have less excess than before. It's still excess.

Worse battery - Umm...no, I don't think so. You're not gonna get that one to fly. Everyone who has the device knows better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orelsi:
My research is about the processors. As I said a friend of mine has it and he let me play with it for a day. I had ample time to compare it to the X1. I was really disppointed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orelsi:
Yes most of the people still use them..... You better read my previous posts about the wireless headphones.

I have 300+ apps on my X1 and many of them require a D-pad.

I am curious about the Vogue's GPS chip. Why was it necessary to be disabled?

The part about using saved money from the processor to update the interface is pure conjecture on your part :).

Again, the size of the SD doesn't matter if you have many apps that by DEFAULT install on the main memory.

Excess??? Excsue me, but less RAM means less multitasking and although the TP was good at this, it wasn't VERY good. The TP2 is worse and it is supposed to be an upgrade....

I can't argue about the battery, because I don't have that much hands on time with the device. I trust my friend and the online reviews though. Unless both my friend's battery and the ones of the reviewers were faulty in the first palce :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
maybe you expected too much! this phone blows x1 out the water literally. i could write a list of all the shortcomings of the x1 but i know they will be addressed by the upcoming x2. prior to getting this fone i bigged up my x1 as well so i can't get down on you for that! however ya cannot beat hands on experience(not just a day) and no one who has both devices like me will agree with you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
300+ apps? Where the hell did you get those... I don't have that many apps on my desktop pc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rosebud:

I did expect much !!!! :D

We can agree to disagree then :). The X1 was the best phone in the world for the past 6 months (IMHO) and I thought TP2 would take its place as number one. It didn't. Not in my opinion. So we can agree that you prefer TP2 and I prefer X1 ;):D.

There are ways ;). I got about 300+ apps and 200+ games that i find useful/like from the thousands of WinMo apps out there, but I installed only 200 apps on the X1 and about 100 games.

And yet my X1 is working perfectly (except for a small glitch in ActiveSync). I agree that a large number of apps is bad though. That's why I stopped at 300 :D.
