With XP you will need to use active sync 4.5, with vista active sync will not work, it requires another program (which I can not remember the name of right now).

Stick with one os for now and lets see what we can get going. I use Windows XP Pro with service pack 2 and active sync myself. I am not sure if SP3 may have broken something with this since I did not install it on any machine that I use with my phone.

You might want to consider the SD card flash procedure mentioned in a post above to update to a different rom. I am not sure I would go back to WM5 though, I would suggest another 6.1 rom or the new 6.5 rom and go from there.
[HTC Excalibur] hazzmatt69:
Well that didn't do it.

Thanks finally got to try the SD flashing. No go!

1. Extracted all the files. (the TMO WM5 rom and the HTC factory.)

2. rename the .nbh file to EXCAIMG.nbh

3. Format sd card FAT 32 slow format.

4. Loaded only the nbh file only as well all files extracted.

5. Hold down the camera button and insert the usb as well as hold the camera button for 3 sec then press power.

Gives me checking the SD card but that is it nothing else.

Active sync. I doubt this will ever work if the phone doesn't show as being on any USB port in USB view

8125 & At&t tilt (friends phones) show as being plugged into a port.

I had my friend take a look at it. He has flashed his phones plenty and said sell the piece of **it.

Am I doing the SD flash correctly?

Any more Ideas before I sell it?
[HTC Excalibur] jdshifflett:
hmmm if you're gonna sell it i'll buy it from you. i need something extra to test roms on..if i can get it working. i don't believe phones are ever bricked beyond repair. if the hardware isn't broken then it is fixable.
[HTC Excalibur] MSFrara:
Hazz, That's a truly odd situation.

So odd that I had the exact same thing happen to me just recently actually :D. I don't exactly know why it happens but I can tell you how I fixed it.

1- I hard resetted my fone (powering off the fone then turning it on holding the 2 soft keys and power button for no more than 2 seconds).

2- From that menu I reset to the default rom. I don't exactly remember the menu options but there should be a sticky somewhere in this fantastic forum.

3- After it returned to default, I was successfully able to connect to activesync (well, Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7/vista) and flash ookbas amazing 6.5 3v0lution rom.
[HTC Excalibur] quezpr123:
you can find original roms here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381726 once you pick which one you need (i used the t-mobile one) put ur phone in bootloader. turn ur phone off and press and hold the camera button then power button then insert ur usb. Flash your rom. Then app unlock it using SDAunlock at the bottom of the first post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523718.

Then dowload the newest 3VO 6.5 rom at the top of the first post and flash it and love it.
[HTC Excalibur] hazzmatt69:
Yeah still not working.

I have tried everything.

USB flashing won't work since the PC doesn't show any device connected.

SD flashing doesn't work the phone has always says reading the SD card but nothing more after.

The Dodpod Rom can't be flashed/found because the link is dead. I have tried all the others but nothing but all end the same. Still don't think the dodpod rom is the original since the phone is banded HTC and dodpod always say dodpod were the HTC logo is.

Maybe I am renaming the file incorrectly for SD flashing has anyone flashed the dash what did the name the .nbh file?

This is the first day I have used this phone in 2 weeks because my other died. So I am re interested in getting it working.
[G1 Android Development] samuel.omlin:
Hi All,

Up to now, is there a replacement with open source codes for libhtc_ril.so running on android+msm7k? Or, are there any guys doing such jobs?

Any input is greatly appreciated!!
[G1 Android Development] texasaggie1:
Would a replacement allow for a simulated unlock?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Probably not. The ril just provides an interface for passing data between the baseband and the application stack. The baseband itself will still control what networks to connect to.

As for an open source ril, I don't think such a thing exists, atleast not for the baseband in the msm7201. Generally for hardware interfaces/drivers, particularly for signal communications, open source's strategy tends to be write it if the specifications exist, wrap around it if its a black box binary.
[G1 Android Development] samuel.omlin:
Well, now, the thread is being relaunched relating to porting ril under the android platform into msm72XX series, especially aimed at the embodied phones powered by these chipsets, for example, adp1/htc-dream, or htc-magic, or htc-hero.

In my case, nonetheless, the preferred phone with the two conditions (i.e. android plus msm72xx) is adp1/htc-dream with the image of the 1.5 verions of android (aka cupcake 1.5). For more information about the image designated, refer also to the link lbelow.

http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s3

Before formally kicking off the project, the following pre-research will be digged into at first.

[Pre-Req-01]

First, diving into the image for target phone, just specified above, to find out what contents getting involved with ril-porting within it.

==>

$directory-of-image/init.rc

service ril-daemon /system/bin/rild

socket rild stream 660 root radio

socket rild-debug stream 660 radio system

user root

group radio cache inet misc

$directory-of-image/build.prop

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

[Pre-Req-02]

Getting the three primary ril-related logs, that is, 1st-startup of rild+libhtc_ril.so, 2nd-placing a call, and 3rd-browsing over data connection, from adp1 via adb, in order to profile what components under android/cupcake pertianing to radio to request when using radio functionality with the target phone.

PS: Because of the lack of target phone at hand, please also anyone post your any of logs mentioned above or expand them to other scenarios with radio functionality. Thanks a lot!!

==>... (Your logs)

[Pre-Req-03]

According to the above logs, positioning these components actually involved in radio functionality along with the corresponding but existing source codes under the android/cupcake-1.5 platform. And then, extracting the architecture and principles of porting ril with android/cupcake plus msm72xx after analyzing and comparing. Finally, drawing out a plan to porting ril.

At last, any surggestions and helps will be greatly appreciated!! Meanwhile, of course, you can also join into the process of development!! :-)

I have

Nothing will update from the sd, it always fails any suggestions ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Hello mate, I have the exact some problem.

I've just been told though in another thread that when we rename the ROM we download and put on the SD card, we shouldn't name it 'update.zip' we should just name it 'update' the '.zip. should come naturally as it is still a compressed file.

Give it a whirl and let us know how you get on, I can't try until I get home from work but it would be nice to know if this solved it as I couldn't figure out why the ROM couldn't be found on the SD card at all last night :confused:

Good luck.

[Off-topic] lamborg:
We have never seen a real king, Michael Jackson lives up to the name of King in our time on this world. He had no arms but a microphone, no army but followers; he had never tried to conquer with violence but the whole world turn out to be his garden. He is familiar with the whole planet. He unified the world with pop music, and no one denies it. He boasts the records selling record of 750 million as long as today and no body disagrees that he will never been exceeded in the future.

Numerous persecution and scandals entangled the king when he is alive, especially during the last time of his life. Looking back on his entire life, we are sharply hit that how great musician he is. He is filled with innovation and enthusiasm, he made breakthrough time and time again and bring brand new pop music to audience. The sum of excitement and surprises might exceed that of all the music in his time.

He contributed so much to revolutionize the presentation and connotation of pop music and he lives up the name of “The King of Pop”. This is no compliment at all. He deserves it because his capability of self-surpass and grasp the essence of pop music and create fresh things time and time again and fascinating music work piece and lead us to a world of wonder. We always expect much from him and we can always get satisfied.

He was accused unfairly and all those accusation might just because his talents. He had show his rage: I have tired of the feeling of being manipulated. This oppression is real! They are lying, the history book is littered with lies. You have to know, all the pop music, from jazz to rock to hip-hop, and then to the dance, are created by black people! But they are pushed to the corner where the history books! You never saw a black man appear on the cover of it, you would only see Elvis Presley, to see the Rolling Stones. Who are the real can be a pioneer in this?

Now we know he is the pioneer of Pop music but the pioneer died with so many stories left untold. We can only seek the answer from his music. That’s legacy that we can never afford to squander. Centuries later, we would like to hear people talking about legendary Michael Jackson and admire him as The King of Pop when we are in heaven together with Michael. How can we do this? The answer is his music and we, as his followers, are responsible to keep Michael Jackson’s music and treasure his solos for future appreciation.

And we wish that he can wander leisurely as well as tranquilly in the paradise. He don’t need to moon walk in the heaven without gravitation. He should enjoy a paradise of music. He is no longer lost child and he is godson of music. And he had been borne for music, for pop music. He should have a counterpart kingdom in heaven because of his innovation and gift.

If you see the songs by him, you will realize that by the means of his song, he tried to bring down the borders between the blacks and the whites and even cared so much for the environment and Earth which is being damaged by the humans.

He has been declared innocent in all the cases against him.

He was more than for what he was credited for.

Yea, it won't open. Well technically it pops open for the better part of a second and shuts down, on both my desktop and laptop.

Any suggestions?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
If you can check file transfer speed (Windows 7 has this, don't remember if it was in Vista too...) Just pop in your microsd into an adapter and connect it to your computer, if it transfers at a constant rate of 6MB/s then its class 6, 4MB/s its class 4, and 2MB/s its class 2... I *think* I'm pretty sure the class # denotes the transfer speed of the card. If not, assume its class 2.

EDIT: NEVERMIND!!! I found the definitive answer. If you look at the card, it will show a number on the front. It is a C surrounding a number. :D Here's a link with a pic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534461

This might sound really odd... but I'm looking to -NOT- use my g1 as a phone... I want to uh... (shoot me if you must) want to remove Android, and install a very light ubuntu install or other gnu/linux derivative like DSL (which cannot be ported to armel probably) to my phone and use it as a mini mini computer...

my question to the DREAM community on XDA here is... can it be done... and for any reason I ever want to go back... do you think it'd be reversible?

My main reasoning is this... I have a nokia 5310, and I work a crappy produce job at a supermarket... I fear my G1 getting broken, and have not used it in the last 2 months. also, I'd be interested in learning how to work stuff out and try to get androided ported over to the new 3g Dash if that was possible, cause that phone looks very nice... IMHO though so... please criticism and responses of all kinds welcome to this question.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XaSe:
No not bad... but good... thank you. I am looking for "ANY" information... and you fit the requisites. Thanks friend :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
The reason for running x11 and debian on top of android through vnc is that drivers for the g1 hardware aren't available. Unless you want to write these drivers yourself, I'd forget this one. By the time you get it working, your g1 will be fossilised.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XaSe:
I'd be willing to go and try to learn how to do it.

it'd be a fun project... i mean the thing is just sitting here... I mean... I could always perhaps make a completely stripped down version of android. I only want it to use Wi-Fi... and that's pretty much it... I just want it to be an MID
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
I want to make sure I understand the situation:

1) You have a cheaper phone so do not use the G1 for fear of damaging it.

2) Since you do not use the G1 you want to:

- tinker with it, most likely destroying it in the process if you succeed at anything.

- install a more conventional Linux distro on the phone, which will require at least some programming knowledge as well as intimate knowledge of Linux. If you want X then it as gone from challenge to an impressive feat.

and finally

3) You want to port android to the Dash 3G.

Your decision making process is a little questionable, but hopefully there is some reasoning I missed or you did not mention.

My advise to you would be: Please learn to walk before you attempt to fly.

A stripped down android would be more feasible. You would not have X, but you should be able to port quite a bit of commandline tools over, to include a more user friendly shell. Then you could try and cross compile X, which will take a lot of patience. If you manage to succeed though. from that point you could do a headless X session and attach to it vian VNC in much the same way as is currently done with debian. Alternatively you could try and port the G1 drivers over to the freerunner project and work from that direction, but this would be much more difficult.

It seems a terrible waste of time in my opinion but if you want to try, go for it. Personally I say sell the G1 and buy a nokia n810. It is a little larger but still small and is a mid.

If however you are set on this course I would suggest hanging out on the IRC channels and getting advice from the ROM cookers, Cyanogen in particular since he rebuilds the linux kernel for the G1, something you will be doing a lot of.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XaSe:
Well most birds learn to fly before they walk. And I think I will go down the trail of a custom Android build. I just wanted to know of it being possible to make it work.

I mainly refer to the fact I didn't want it to break ie the screen or the digitized I assume you mean the xda channel... ... so yes I will choose to jump into the pool before the water is full in it :) thank you for the advice and knowledge

I run Win Mobile 6.5 (not sure if that matters) and when I have key lock set to "all but power" the phone won't stay asleep, but if I turn it to the next setting "only when its lockeD" it stays asleep...What gives? Any ideas. I doubt its hardware related just for the fact...it doesn't happen when the one setting is changed. Thanks everyone!

I am open to anything that reassigns the power key or auto locks when the power is turned off:)

Win Mobile 6.5 on Kaiser -- Checked battery too and took out sim card and SD card.

Update:

Flashing to Win Mobile 6.1 to see if problem exists there...

Update 2:

Yup, still happens in 6.1...Any ideas? I can't think of any reason...It's odd, if the system locks the device, it doesn't turn on...But I don't see what could be wrong...Is it possibly a radio issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] natalic:
Fix (Sorta)

If you have this issue, the easiest fix was to install S2U2 and set the timeout to 5seconds.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theillustratedlife:
There's a book that comes with it, which list frequencies. I haven't played too much with mine, but it does work on AT&T.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dvice19:
Thanx

thanx for replying my friends. i looked in the book as theillustratedlife suggested and it says 1700 & 2100 MHz. so i guess that is only t-mobile...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theillustratedlife:
My "Additional information for your Google I/O device" card lists these GSM frequencies: 850, 900, 1800, 1900. Isn't AT&T 3G 850Mhz?

I'd be a bit surprised if they gave out 4000 phones to a bunch of iPhone-carrying web guys, listed AT&T's APN detail in the included material, and didn't support AT&T 3G.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dvice19:
yes that's at&t, but those frequencies refer to phone and edge, while the 'umts' refers to 3g...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] aniteshj:
Thats where the quad band gsm labeling comes from. thats just them saying, this will work around the world.

What you need for ATT is UMTS bands, and the Ion is using 1700mhz for 3G, so no dice on ATT or Rogers at all.

I was getting this error for a while now. So here is the whole thing.

I was using JF1.5 along with Lucid's script. And I started getting errors such as...

"The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly."

along with, what seemed like, every other application I tried to use. I noticed that it was right about the time that JF1.51 came out, so I thought that maybe the programs I was using got updated without the system being updated or whatever.

I bricked my phone about 1000 times but, with a ton of help from Lucid, I was able to repair the error on the SD card and was problem free... for about a week.

Working fine this morning, I rebooted my phone and am now having the error again every time I try to open a messaging program. I was using ChompSMS the first time and am now using Handcent SMS. I have uninstalled both of them and cannot even open the stock messaging program without getting the error and need to force close.

I did the same steps as last time (as far as I can remember) which were:

- Factory wipe

- Apply JF1.51 update

- Download and run Lucid's script to get e2fsck

- Running e2fsck to make sure no errors

- Run Lucid REM for apps, data and dalvik

When I restart my phone I also get the same error from PF Voicemail+ but the option to wait is also there.

I am driving myself crazy trying to fix it. Everything I have searched for seems to only be problems with images, but mine is even opening the SMS program. BAHHHHHH!!!!!!
