[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] algorhythm:
The idea was that people say to hard reset MULTIPLE times rather than just hard reset once, thinking that it would do something different on the 3rd time than it does on the first time.

Those people make me /facepalm :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twfx:
Someones believe that there is an internal mechanism which is able to remember how many times of hard resets you have performed. Then, some different actions (more complete reset?) may be taken every like 3 straight hard resets. But we don't know whether this kind of mechanism exists except microsoft and OEMs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
It's all placebo.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
I have never hard reset more than once on my device, as I have never understood why doing muliple hard resets would make any difference. The few people I know who do it more than once will readily admit that they do it probably as much because it makes them feel better about the process as much as any actual knowledge of what it does.

As for the "bad flash" issue, more likely what people are experiencing is either a download that has been corrupted (I myself have experienced that downloading the file again and flashing the new file can fix odd and random issues i'm having with the phone). This is only related to issues that are existent immediately after flashing. Problems that crop eventually are most likely caused by software incompatibility or some other issue unrelated to the rom, but rather generated over time being used.

Typically I find that flashing an OEM rom is a lot more effective that any of the other rumored cures for issues in the flashing process. I honestly couldn't tell you what the difference it makes is; however, I do know that on occasion it does make a difference. My personal guess is that it has something to do with the files being signifcantly larger and literally overwriting more information; however, I have no technical explaination for why it works. That being said I have flashed several hundred roms and I know that it does work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jaime Méndez:
If your device performs a hard reset after flashing there is no way a second hard reset would change things.:cool:

I advice people to wait for full moon if they believe several flashings and several hard resetings help their devices to perform better. That extra cosmic energy might help more during flashing or reseting process:p or why don't you consult The Oracle to tell you what is best for your particular device;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scilor:
A hard reset must "hard reset" the device equally(same device/same rom) if it wouldnt the device must have a hardware damage
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DatDereX1:
we do know that this kind of mechanism does not exist because there would be no reason to have it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adq:
Hi, I've only tried this on a single HTC Hero from Orange UK. I'm about to order one myself, so I'll report back whether it works on there too.

This file (3mb ish) contains the unmodified boot.img dumped from the phone, as well as boot.img.insecure, which is modified to turn off security (exact details here)

I've been testing this with the following method. Obviously if you try this it is at your own risk. You'll need a copy of "fastboot".

1) Decompress zip

2) Attach phone to USB.

3) Turn phone off.

4) Press and hold the back button, then press "power".

5) You should be in the bootloader, and it should say "FASTBOOT USB".

6) On your PC, run "fastboot boot boot.img.insecure".

The phone should boot normally. However, if you do a normal "adb shell", that shell will be running as root.

Note that this doesn't actually flash the phone; it simply uploads a kernel and tells it to boot it. On reboot, it will return to the original secured rom stored on the phone. Of course if you make changes to the filing systems as root, those will be stored to flash.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JWallstreet:
I just flashed your boot.img onto my HTC branded hero and it work just fine. Thank you sir.

Edit: Hmm just lost wifi capability. Reverting back to stock boot.img
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ClashOfThe:
i'm guessing there isn't much point in rooting until a newer device/os comes out?

Will this work for me ?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daldroid:
Jwallstreet, try verifying you use the /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko which matches the kernel version you are booting.

It has to be the same build otherwise linux kernel doesn't load the wifi kernel module and your wifi won't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daldroid:
It depends on the firmware you'll get on your hero.

Until now it seems all HERO owners reported an SPL able to fastboot rom images.

My Hero Version

Until now it seems all HERO owners reported an SPL able to fastboot rom images. ?

That is SPL ?

how can i know if i got the "good" version ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adq:
Without actually trying to boot an image, the best method I can think of would be to turn it on holding down the BACK button to enter the bootloader, and see what HBOOT version it says it has. Mine says "HBOOT-1.76.0004 (HERO10000)"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adq:
Running "lsmod" under an adb shell will tell you whether the wifi module is loaded or not. That works even on an un-rooted phone. Mine says:

wlan 591348 1 - Live 0xbf000000

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
I managed to "port" cyanogen's cm-recovery-1.4. The kernel is from my wwe version of hero ( 2.6.27-a5504199 #521 PREEMPT Fri Jul 3 07:56:53 CST 2009 ) . I've also recompiled the recovery binary, setting the right keycode for the trackball "press" event (the keycode is 191 ), and removing the console option from the menu.

i've tried only nandroid backup and it works fine. there's no reason for the other "utilities" not to work. There's also root through adb so you can make changes to the filesystem.

i've not "flashed" this image, no reason for now :D . I've only used it with "fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img", and everything seems to work fine.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dream_Team:
Works great !

Booted that recovery img on my hero, used "adb shell" then I typed in :

mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

/system/bin/reboot

Now my hero is rooted. Nice !

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] footboydog:
Cool! I got it working on my unlocked white Hero. I can use su in adb shell. However, when I try to install Superuser.apk with adb it says INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE and when I try with App Manager it says "Super user permissions could not be installed on this phone". I guess its trying to overwrite /system/bin/su? I tried remounting /system as writeable and chmodding su to be writeable by all but I still get the same problem.

Anybody know how to fix this please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
Use Superuser.apk and su in the attachment.

- mount system rw

- adb push su /system/bin/

- adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

- adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] footboydog:
Thanks but how to I mount system as root? I used:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

after su in an adb shell but if I push anything to the phone I get permission denied. I guess the problem is I can get root in an adb shell but not outside it. I tried adb remount but I got "remount failed: Operation not permitted". I also tried adb root but got "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
ooops, sorry, i meant mount /system rw

to use adb as root you need to use the modified boot.img to boot (in the first post), or cm's modified recovery.img (some posts back)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] footboydog:
Thanks very much! That works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
i get the following

cannot load 'cm-hero-recovery.img'

any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
the error means that fastboot can't find cm-hero-recovery.img. maybe it isn't in the folder from where you run fastboot

the syntax is:

fastboot boot "/path to recovery.img"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geovass:
the recovery image is in the same folder sdk/tools/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LeeDroid:
just extract the img to your SDK/tools folder....

but i think voice quality depend in real rilphone.dll

Well i am starting new Poll between these two radios let`s see now :)

either 1.14.25.55 is best

or

1.16.25.48 is best

I used this radio with the supplied rilphone, however it did not automatically store the sms messages anymore.

i prefer my v1.14. i can see that my gps is more sensitive on v1.14 . n as well as more stable data connection.

v1.16 got better reception, but then it keep on switch between HSDPA ./ 3G even EDGE. make it less stable.

so i stick to v1.14. oh yeah, battery is clearly show longer battery life.

Strange experience

with Leo rom rilphone.dll woprking 100% fine......

But with others , same ****y error "messege from network" .......

i think there is some link in leo or that korean r3 rom with ril that`s why may be......
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fards:
so thats likely to be the jataayu messaging app in leo sets up the drm security permissions differently.. it maybe that the leo based roms use discretix rather than lockstream drm so it doesnt interfere as much..

nice find, ive not tried the 1.16rilphone yet,

so i guess it would be possible to work backwards to work out which reg is interfering with the none leo roms..

Some new files, like the wlan.ko and add some BT lines in a init file.

What else? Can I get a direction?

I like to mess around with it, I like this stuff.. Im totally in love with this Magic phone..

We need more porting got the 32A device..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicDK:
Look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530972 Amon_RA have postet a good guidline in his post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4040214&postcount=23 I did follow that guide as I made the cm-recovery-1.4-32A.img all I had to make was to edit the filenames.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisB:
If it was that easy, then we have seen more roms for the 32A

We can report the 32B that way, but not directly from G1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
That's not completely true, all of the g1 roms have custom kernels which mean custom modules and features that are added which will make the rom your porting limited to certain features... for example cm's kernel which is on every cm rom for the g1 has cgroup which is a module that basically optimized running tasks, squashfs which is a mount type you can use on the system, compcache which is module that you can use for swap memory which is very useful... and i'm pretty sure there is other stuff too... but this issue creates a limitation for us 32A users as far as porting roms because some roms are very unique because of certain stuff that comes with the kernel...

32Bs on the other hand are google branded phones so the g1 kernels work on them and the only thing that you change in the proccess of porting in simply renaming init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc from the ram disk and you don't need to change the kernel because it will work since both devices are google branded.

so yeah you can almost port every rom but just don't expect the full features and also another note when porting to 32A you have mess to around with the update-script file most of the time when not touching it you will not be able to get any command to work under the command line due to the symlinks, i would suggest using the update-script from fatal1y's hero rom 1.4 ported by skittleguy or the hofo community rom because those are the ones that i looked at to basically learn...

Good luck,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elegos:
This basically untill HTC will release the kernel patches. Then you'll be able to port every single ROM to 32a.

I got a text from someone about 3 weeks ago and ever since then I keep receiving a notification for this text. Under messaging all threads are deleted. Sometimes the phone notifies me of the text 50 times in 5 min and others 50 times a day. So how the hell do I delete my sms text cache or maybe notification cache? Not sure

kernel version: 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf

build: htc_dream-eng 1.5 cupcake eng

If you need more info, just say so.

Looking for a method that preferably looses as minimal settings as possible. Meaning I would rather not wipe the phone, but if that is what it takes, that is what it takes.

I know how to turn the notifications off, but that doesn't really fix my problem.

any help would be appreciated
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Text messages are stored here:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

or some slight variation of that depending on your particular build. You can adb to your phone and check out this particular folder. There may be a cache folder in there you can clear out, but there may not be. If you don't want to wipe, you will have to do some poking around and check things out in this folder

thanks directmatrix

alright so I go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and there is 2 databases. mmssms.db and telephone.db. I downloaded the mmssms.db opened it with SQLite Database Browser. I cleaned out everything under the sms and threads tables. No other tables had any info or nothing relevant to the specific message I was trying to get rid of. Once I was done with the file I saved it then pushed it back. Still get the annoying message. sound like the correct or suitable procedure?
