[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daustinhjr:
already root?

First off thanks for the guide.

It should be noted that on a windows 7 64 pro machine that it's necessary to install 32 bit java in order to get the sdk to install. (Took me a while to find that out.)

Ok so I'm checking to see if adb is working correctly by entering the following code:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools === Press Enter

adb devices === You should see your device listed (I get "HT9CBHF03692 device")

adb shell === you should see # in the next line (instead of # I have a $)

does this mean I already have root on my phone or what?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
No you don't have root already

$ = user

# = root
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwishicouldlive:
I'm having a problem with this, I install everything right, then when I go to type in "fastboot devices" it doesn't bring up any device, it goes back to cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.

What could be the problem?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
Just covering the basics but you're phone has to be in fastboot mode

Turn off phone, hold camera + power to turn on

You have to be running either the Hard, Engineering or Haykuro's Danger SPL to have fastboot on your phone

hey guys. this is a great guide, but i keep having the same problem on two separate computers: usbdeview doesn't uninstall the drivers. i hit uninstall just like in the guide, and nothing. i unplug my phone, plug it back in and it doesn't reinstall or say it needs drivers and usbdeview just lists the drivers and it will not uninstall them. can anyone help me with that?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayush20m:
It's been a long time since I last used it, but if I remember correctly even I got a $ instead of a #. Try typing in the next few commands and see if it works.

If you are afraid of hurting your phone try:

adb reboot //performs a reboot

Hello

When i set internet to 2G i have no internet connection during a call. If i set it to 3G i do have internet during call.

Is that normal?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey:
Yes it is.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
This might not be really relevant but if you actually do want internet connection during a call try one of Haykuro's H Roms on his google page. Reportedly they allow browsing while talking to someone :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Birba:
I don't really want to change the rom there for.

But as it works on Haykuro's builds, maybe a developer could make it work on other builds.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey:
Last time i checked it has to do with the frquencies *sp

Which, in my opinion, no can do
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sino8r:
Hehhehe! That's what so great about GSM 3G...data & calls simultaneously! You don't have to have a certain kind of ROM for data to work during a phone call, lol... I have noticed that it will sometimes switch to no connection during a call which would cause a drop out in data. The way this best remedied is to set the phone to 3G only under phone info settings. When I have it set to 3G preferred, I make a call and sometimes it will switch to 2G and therefore, losing my data connection (2G doesn't allow data & calls simultaneously). This does this even when 3G is still available. So if you're in a good area where 3G is prominent, switching settings to 3G will improve many things, just not your battery life.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speoples20:
This is normal. 2G or EDGE cannot handle calls and data at the same time. 3G can handle calls and data at the same time.
[G1 Apps and Games] revwillie:
I hope this is acceptable. I've been searching Android market and a couple of different forums including this one. I really miss a feature of my old cell phone and wondered if the upcoming google voice will finally provide it.

My motoming A1200 had a custom firmware with an excellent voice response system. When paired with a BT kit or headset or A2DP set, the VR would fire up anytime the BT off-hook (sometimes called the function button, call button, whatever...the main button on a BT device) button was pressed.

With a car kit, the end effect is very useful, especially when you have BT buttons integrated into your steering wheel.

So, when I got my G1 last year, I lost that and miss it very much. I've thought that all we really need is for google to hitch up the goog-411 voice response facility to our google contacts database whether it runs online or in the device or with an optimized combination of both.

Does google voice do this? I've read that it accepts voice commands and searches your contacts. Has anyone with google voice been successfully calling out from a BT kit by voice-searching their contacts? If so, can you put in a good word for me so I can get a GV account ASAP? :p
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
re: invites

GV is currently accepting signups for a waiting list. I've been told they'll be rolling out a bunch over the next few weeks. I'm guessing there will be another beta testing round and they're wanting to stress the system harder. Have you added your name to the list yet?

I just tried triggering voice dial with my motorola ht850s and came up with nothing. Also tried to start voice search manually by long-pressing the call button but wasn't able to prompt a search via the headset either.

The current GV app for Android isn't made by Google and doesn't seem to integrate this feature at this time. Lets hope an official GV app hits us soon. I expect it will take advantage of this feature and more.

fingers crossed!

I'm trying to get a ROM together and some programs (nearly done) to actually warrant that! I doubt anyone would actually donate right now i've done nothing to deserve it (besides one apparantly funny post?) but I'm in a lot of debt so random donations may happen (one can hope).

Back on topic:

It wouldn't be easy either to get the hw keyboard working. It'd mean decompiling the app and reworking it completely. Cyanogen posted on his twitter he considered porting flash to his builds but it was near impossible for even a genius like him!

I recommend mobipocket software. Drag the pdf file into the pc application, it takes a less than minute to convert the file and copy it to your phone.

When reading tap the right hand side of the screen to turn a page, or left hand to turn back.

And its free.

Hi

I'm following Crackwhore's excellent guide to try and flash my Blackstone to WinMo 6.5. So far I've succesfully dealt with the whole USB driver problem (I'm running 7 x64), and I can get my phone to load USPL, but I can't seem to get the next bit right. I've downloaded Miri's 6.5 ROM, what do I do next? I tried running the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe with the phone connected in bootloader mode - it didn't work. Neither did the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe file suggested by the guide. It says in the program that I should be connected with ActiceSync, is this actually the case? Sorry for this confusion, I'm sure it's simple when you know how...

Thanks

Fredley
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sawer82:
Have you disabled the active sync in the PC ?

You have to go to the Windows mobile device center and disable allow USB connection i think. Then when your screen says USPL (the color screen) connect to the PC, it should display USB on the display, after that execute the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe. Don't forgot the Hard Reset after flash (power up with both volume buttons pressed).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fredley:
I think I'm fine now, sorry for that. My problem was not going through the whole USPL process before trying to flash a ROM. I am loading the ROM now, fingers crossed!

In future, please use the sticky guides to post questions. You actually get better exposure there. Crackwhore and Fallen sparten (and even me sometimes ;)) follow those and reply quickly.

Hey guys,

I have had a HTC Diamond for quite some time now, I love(d) it! But I wanted to try out a new ROM. As you know a new non OEM ROM requires an unlock.

A quick search brought me to this link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

Well, I have a GSM phone... At the time I had never heard of "CDMA" so I went through with the instructions.

Hi everyone, this is another midnight that i spend to find a way to recover my new used phone.

Please, really please, help me.

This is the problem:

A friend gived me his Tytn ii phone.

W.M 6.* .. i can't remember the right version.

this is what i did:

1) unistalled skype

2) re-installed skype

3) unistalled ohoner

4) installed winterface

5) uninstalled a register tool.

6) my memory stop at this point...

It stayed alive a couple of day and now.. STOP!!

it doesn't boot anymore.

This is what "he" do:

0) He vibrate

1) T-Mobile logo (he was germany)

2) RGB information

3) Black screen

4) HTC animated logo

5) Maya v1 logo (with his stone face)

6) STOPPPP

Sometime it looks like alive, if I open the phone the screen change, and stand out a lot of colored lines .

Sometime if a press all the keys i can press, appear the alignment wizard.

I try to align, and after a white screen, phone blocks.

I only want to recover my friend's contacts.. nothing else.

If i'll could do, i could think to rebuild the flash... BUT....

but but but but... but i need you!!!

i still belive...

maybe in a htc center,,,

what do you think about?????

thanks a lot

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Barkleyfan:
If you can't boot, I don't know that there is anything you can do. Can't even flash the ROM without being able to sync.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] malteni:
So, there is no way to recovery "my" contacts...

Maledizione....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChrBeck:
I have to say something on that too. First: You can flash a ROM using the bootloader only. That works and will surely recover the phone. But the contacts will be lost then.

Have you tested Active Sync? Sometimes it is in the align screen windows and you can already use Active Sync then. I'm not sure about the Device Center Vista uses. Try to get the phone connected maybe it works.
