Can anyone tell me for certain if this does NOT work with the new Rogers ROM update? If not, is there a way to flash back the stock ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
If you make a Nandroid backup before flashing you can always go back. This requires to you load a recovery rom that has Nandroid built into it. Do this first and make a backup, before you start flashing ROMs.

NOTE: Backup images are stored on your sdcard. If you format, erase or delete the files off the card you obviously cannot restore them. You can copy the backup images to your computer for safekeeping.

Hello,

i´m new here and my english not so good, but i hope, anyone can help me here.

I´m from germany and i have a Vodafone branded 32B Magic.

So i had my magic rooted and had a hero rom installed, but for some days i loaded the RUU Rogers on my phone. Now i lost my root, the language is only english and the magic have no drivers installed so i can´t go on market or to the mobile internet.

Many ways to delete the RUU or root this one failed.

When i used the cmd on my PC i make fastboot devices, then comes my serial number and fastboot, but when i will type the words fastboot boot recovery.....img in the next line, it comes : downloading ´boot.img´... FAILED <remote: not allow>

What can i make to become my root rights back so i can load a custom rom back on my phone?

Please can anyone help me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nabor:
What did you mean about drivers? The drivers on windows? Then where can I download it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Knightshade:
It seems that applying the new Rogers ROM update from HTC will not allow fastbooting any recovery or applying update.zip of any other ROM. I have spent many hours after flashing the 'official' Rogers ROM update from HTC trying to get root access back and thwart the so called 'upgrade' to no avail. If anyone has any help it would be greatly appreciated.

you can run ALL of the major roms.. if they are for 32B or G1 you can use the Magic Port tool found in this forum to "port" the kernel over to 32A (magic) ..

so yes.. if you can root it is worth it...

FYI - to get into fastboot by holding volume down and power..

The first thing you should do with your Magic is to upgrade your SPL to 1.33.2010, see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019 Next you need to use the RadioSwitcher to upgrade your Radio, SPL and Recovery, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677045 Then you can flash one of the ROMS based on the Latest Rogers Update including the original ROM with root see:

ok, so i am on a mac, first of all.

secondly, i followed all the steps, and am on step 5. the whole:

can anyone explain this to me? I'm not sure what exactly to do on this step. :confused:

Is this still true? I have been trying many different methods over the past two days to try and root my HTC Magic, and it has the exact same info. This would explain why I have been unsuccesful.

So you still able to root after the roger's 2.1 update?

How about root it before the rogers 2.1 update, and after 1.5 E911 update?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fred_dj:
Anyone experienced this annoying issue? after installing ryan heavy rom ( very good by the way ) the phone froze, i soft reset it and it came back to the auto-customization screen completely wiped out. it happened 3 times in 1 week. flashed again, same problem. is it a Bad rom or do I have a bad phone?:mad:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Bunsen Honeydew:
Probably a bad flash. Flash to a different ROM, then flash back to RM. When the customizations begin, perform a hard reset. It worked for me when I was having the same problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moosefist:
About 4 times a day, sometimes less, sometimes more i get a message.

Sorry!

Activity Home(in process

android.process.acore) is not

responing.

I am running cyanogen's 3.5, and i thought that fixed it, but its started popping up again. the dude's builds did this also. Ive tried wipes, a2sd v1 & v2 and cyanogens on ext2 and currently ext3 on a class 6 SD.

Is this a normal thing us android users have to deal with?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenericNode:
No. Are you doing Apps2SD with a SDcard that isn't Class 6? Because that'll do it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imbonez9:
I've had that with no Apps2sd. Hold down the voice dial and call up gscirpt. If you have a script to update to a theme do it and it'll fix it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1tch:
Possibly, but the issue is quite recent for me, and Google turns up this thread as #1 when searching for "activity home not responding". I thought I could give my karma a boost by helping others :)

Anyway, it reoccured to me yesterday (freeze-up shortly after the boot), so factory reset again... Currently Opera Mobile is my suspicion... I am not yet ready to root my phone yet or install a custom recovery ROM -- my next idea is that wiping the Dalvik cache would also help.

I'll keep reporting :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Why dont you want a custom rom?

G1 is probably the most hacked phone there is

Youre missing out
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well i kinda doubt wiping the dalvik cache will fix this, probably the only affect you will notice will be your phone take a bit longer to boot. What method were you planing on to wipe. I see you dont have a custom recovery. Also why not root. Would make this an easier issue to fix if you did

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilg@mesh:
I think it's VERY VERY VERY STUPID! :) it's the same phone, and I don't see the TP2 have any advantage over the X1, besides bigger screen... better to wait for the X2 (pray to god the X2 have better CPU) :)

stay with the X1...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
i heard the tp2 video framerate is much lower than the x1 as well, the best thing to do is ask members in the rhodium forum questions and compare them to your experiences with the x1 ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangsat86:
ait for the x2 man. It will have better cpu (i hope), Better battery life. X1 was just a test and now the test is complete they will give us X2 "god is shining his light upon the X2" hallaluja
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
I can't get the X2 because it will be very expensive for me. Touch Pro 2 is surprisingly cheap compared to the X1a [i don't use 3G anyway, i shud have paid for the x1i version]

I want the TP2 because the music and conversation speaker + mix is almost hi-fi.

The screen is big.

And the keyboard is delicious.

The main reasons I don't want to switch is because of the Sony Ericsson Media Panel and the 3.5 mm jack.

I am also planning on selling my X1 and saving it for a future phone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipporek:
Well, if there were ppl who called the X1 a brick, I really wonder what they'd say to your Touch Pro 2.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhendra:
Keep your X1 man. Do you have an X1a? R4A firmware is coming out and I heard it's gonna be a kick ass ROM.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadeadman:
You might as well hold out for a snapdragon phone.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
That would be a lateral move. There's really no point. And besides, who wants a bigger phone with the same functionality these days?

You would be much better off holding off until at least one of these options

a. Tegra/Snapdragon

b. phones released with winmo 6.5 stock

c. phones released with winmo 7
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE GRIZZ:
tp2 is not really an upgrade

get the omnia pro if you really must change your phone
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
I totally agree with this you. Omnia Pro is better than X1 in many ways, and TP2 has bigger display, only that.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netsurfz:
Go for it! And tell us your opinion after switching X1 to TP2. :p

(Guessing you'll be missing for X1!)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Hardware is almost the same

TP2 pros:

bigger screen.

Xperia pros:

3.5mm headphone jack.

More RAM available.

Has camera flash.

D-pad (almost all games require one, or are played better with one. It is useful and a necessity).

Xperia looks better, feels better in the hand and is more useful. Your choice....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahya.hamid:
I am amused. How HTC can not include flash in a 3mp phone like touch pro 2. The phone is a sure shot but how can they even think of missing on the flash.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotastrain:
dont do it..just use tf3d and some of my mods..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votec:
go for it...x1 is one very good smartphone, but misses badly on essentialz:

bigger touch screen and windows mobile (and panels) being adjusted for touch input.

got my x1 just a week ago...played around, got used to it, installed all the programs i wanted...and came to conclusion that the touch screen is just toooo small and on the brink to be anoying...still functional, but...very BIG but...

whatever you get must have solid big touch screen...important for web-browsing,gps-ing, everything...size of new iPhone is just right...

...maybe x2 or x3 will sort out this few (big) mistakes of this great phone.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:

Just my 2 cents...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubelperser:
That almost sounds as if you can hand in your x1 for a brand new x2 as soon as it comes out. 8)

Coming from a treo 750 myself, it took me some time to get used to the x1. The x1 is better in any way, but the treo was much more intuitively to use. Sure, the screen was terrible, but then you could do so much without even looking at the phone. Since those great 6.5 roms from our great cooks in this forum using the x1 as a phone got much better tho. What I still don't like is that keyboard pulls out to the side/screen rotation thing and that won't change with the touch pro 2.

My point is: I will switch to another phone, as soon as they build one with the touch hd screen and dimensions, dpad, nice hardware buttons (the more the better) and a hw keyboard that pulls out down instead of to the side.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votec:
Nope, just find the touch-screen size just right.

Already settled with new one after X1...that's HTC TOUCH Pro2 (only common with Apple - is screen size).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xxprincecjxx:
My son was drowning in me neighbor's pool yeaturday so i jumped in with my shoes on and jeans and all to get him out. My phone was in my pocket along with my wallet and keys..all got drenched. After making sure my son was ok i ran in the house...wiped my phone off the best i could and took out the mem card, sim card and battery and placed all those items including the phone in a bag full of rice...

After about 12 hours later i managed to turn the phone on and it works, makes and recieve calls, however my touch screen worked for the first 30mins and now does not work at all...

I find it wierd how it worked for the first 30 mins than it all of a sudden just stopped working. Any ideas of how to get my touch screen working agian?

I ordered a new at&t tilt but all my stuff and rom is on this phone and hate to convert everything over AND text messages from my ex which will be used in court are also in this phone. Any ideas would be appreciated.

hi

i tried installing garmin mobile xt and was not aware of the small storage rom avialable to us on snapvue side..

so now im wondering what you guys are using on both the snapvue side and the PC side for gps

and since i have no clue how to transmit gps data (if that is possible) to the windows side so that google earth or some other application can use that..

so be free to elaborate as much as you can

thanks in advance !!!

[G1 General] terryowen:
First - I've searched, searched and searched for my particular circumstances, so if this is the wrong place for my questions I apologize in advance. (I've seen all the warnings, in so many posts - honestly! It's kept me searching and not posting for weeks.)

I bought a G1 off eBay (no tmobile in my area); it wasn't unlocked so I bought an unlock code. So far, so good. But it took forever researching how to get my particular obscure carrier settings into the APN (Iowa Wireless) and I couldn't bypass and use wifi because it wouldn't reboot (no root workaround). So then, I flashed to the 29 rom. I had lots of problems with adb but finally found a Windows XP machine that it would work on and managed to get my phone working. I had to enter some command line intent commands (that I don't have here at work) but it's been a long complicated road. I'm not even sure I could duplicate any of it.

So now I have a G1 phone that can't get paid apps, which stinks (and yes, I installed the Market Enabler app). It isn't a developer phone. The details:

Firmware 1.0

Baseband version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

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

Build Number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247 ota-rel-keys.release-keys

I desperately need ebook reading capability, so without paid apps I'm up a creek. The web browser won't even open local files that I can tell and when I click on an html file it opens in a viewer that never displays my files, which tend to have lots of javascript and css. And we won't even talk about chm files and pdb/prc compiled ebooks. Is there a rom that will get me access to the Market so I can buy a couple of readers?

When I got the G1, I was thinking that an HTC phone would be the successor to the hackable Motorola phones (I used to have an A780). But in a way, this forum is too much of a good thing. There are so many roms, bootloaders and some kind of radio thing that I'm kinda scared to mess with. So, that's my next question - is there some kind of table where I can see comparisons on which roms do what and what files go together? I'm piecing things from posts and I keep getting lost.

And for my next question - if I do get up enough nerve to get install a non-standard rom, will my unlock code still work if everything gets wiped?

Lastly, and I know this is sensitive because it is an Android community - I found a few tantalizing posts while researching all my issues that hinted that maybe someone might be working on a non-Android solution. I don't know if was OpenMoko or something like that but seriously, I would jump at the opportunity to have an accessible Linux system.

As awesome as the G1 is (and the bar code thing was my killer app) it's a lot of hassle for a working mother and grandmother. I have 7 and 9 year old kids to hang out with instead of muttering "Frak this" after the tenth or twentieth rewording of the google search terms.

Thanks for letting me get this out of my system. I'm reading deprived and starting to reevaluate my old Shadow sitting on the shelf. :-)

[G1 General] h.nocturna:
Being the nice guy I am, this is a database listed under the Developer's section under INFORMATIVE THREADS (lots of goodies under there): http://www.simonwalkerphotos.com/android/android_build_information.asp

it lists the features of each ROM in the forums all neatly organized. =)

For your other question: the unlock code works perfectly fine after several wipes, its permanent. I unlocked my phone (from T-Mobile) and have gone through at least 8 ROMs and the unlock still works. With these new ROMs, you get developer capabilities and should be able to download that reader you're after.

Just take your time and don't rush things and you'll be fine. A piece of cake really.
[G1 General] terryowen:
Thanks. Your link is exactly what I needed. I know I missed it, whether it's because it's 11th on the list and my eyes were so glazed over, or I was hung up on getting root (the main thread for root on that page didn't work for me - the mount commands) or that I kinda expected it to be down in the actual ROM section.

I know this isn't about the ROM list but it's so frustrating to have threads marked but not work, and the solutions are often way down in the comment thread. That makes it so hard to get anywhere. I hope I don't sound too ungrateful, especially since I wanted the G1 because of the community support. It's just been way more work than I expected from previous experiences with other phones and pdas.

Well, I looked through the spreadsheet and I think I'm going to try out CyanogenMod v3.4.6 (Stable). Now I just need to set aside some time to gather everything together. (I'm learning...)

Thanks again,

Terry
[G1 General] h.nocturna:
No worries, we all gotta start somewhere. Once you have root, its pretty much just a straight ROM flash from there, depending on whether the ROM you've chosen needs the new Haykuro SPL or just HardSPL. With Haykuro SPL, there's really only 2 extra steps and you can just straight flash ROMs from there. Just be careful if you're flashing the Haykuro SPL because if you do it incorrectly, you'll brick you're phone. But don't be too scared, if you did everything correctly, there shouldn't be any reason why it won't work.
[G1 General] terryowen:
I had no trouble with the HardSPL, the radio update, the pimped out recovery image but the actual CyanogenMod almost gave me a heart attack. I applied the update.zip and rebooted, and it hung on a cool animated android screen (after the G1 splash). I took the battery out, wiped the phone (which I forgot to do the first time) and tried it again. Same results. I took the battery out again and applied the update.zip and the 3rd time it actually booted.

My previously installed programs were still there, so I'm not quite sure what happened but I'm not going to question it any further. ;-)

Thanks again for the little bit of hand holding.

Terry (proud owner of 8 paid apps and still looking...)
[G1 General] h.nocturna:
Good luck. If you use Apps2SD, after you re-apps2sd after a flash/wipe, it will take a very long time to boot and you might think that it has frozen, but in reality, its just loading all the apps over again so it could take up to 10min. :D But glad you got it working regardless. Have fun.

I know that I am supposed to search, but for the life of me, I cannot find what I am looking for.
