[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
My advice is buy one off eBay. Reasoning being, any website like that can make all the fake testimonies they want, and you could get screwed very easily. If you go to ebay you can choose a seller with good feedback who is clearly legit. I think I got mine from GSMcredits or something...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlashSpeed:
Thanks for the advice! That really helped me. I went to search over Ebay and found some interesting offers. And they are actually cheaper then the site i gave you link before!:)

Anyway, i think this is 100% legit, since this seller is very popular.

Ebay G1 code for unlock seller

Is this gonna work on Europe G1, that was bought in Austria from T-Mobile(doh:D)?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlashSpeed:
I don't wanna be annoying, but can anyone please answer my question? It would be very appreciated.:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
Calling T-Mobile only works if you are a current customer. If you aren't (and I assume that is the case) then find someone who is to call for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
As long as they give you the correct code it will work on any G1, so you should be fine. That seller looks legit, due to the high rating too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlashSpeed:
Thanks for the answer! I'm getting my G1 on Monday then!:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlashSpeed:
Yay. I got my white G1 today and i bought a code of ebay from the guy mentioned few posts above. Payed 10€ and got the code within 15min. Phone is now unlocked and i can't be more satisfied! G1 is awesome:cool:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Sweet, I had to unlock mine the first week cuz tmobile gets bad service here. The first site you posted is where I got my code, so they are legit. And don't worry about rooting and flashing roms because it wont mess up your unlocked status.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlashSpeed:
Cool. Thanks for the info!:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordsmiff:
Just thought I'd add that I've (just) used the guy mentioned above (ebay profile link) to have my UK G1 unlocked and it worked just fine.

The code came within 10 minutes, tested and works OK.

Cheers,

Smiffy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] steveianson:
Just reinstalled Shaks.P v4.30 rom after trying one with wm 6.5. (toooooo slow and uses too much memory)

I have a problem that, when i get a call and the slider "call answer screen" comes up, if i touch the screen anywhere it answers to call. I can only assume that this is rom related as it has not done it till i installed this rom. I have done a hard reset to try and cure it, but to no availe.

Anyone come across this before and any sollutions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] p.brazauskas:
Maybe it was ROM related.

I would suggest you try BsB 6.5 rom, best I tried till now!

[G1 Accessories] Do0zman:
does it void warrenty?
[G1 Accessories] Do0zman:
i really do like the way it looks. thinking about doing it to mine now.
[G1 Accessories] palosjr:
ummm not trying to be rude at the least... and i know

most of the stuff here is just software related, but all

we do here at XDA and you are worried about a

keyboard mod voiding the warranty lol...

on the second hand, this does look sick. be sure to

post pics of the black and white g1 when it is all said

and done!
[G1 Accessories] uva463:
Looks nice. I currently have the silver back cover on my bronze G1. I'm rolling over what else to change out :)

Yes it does.

In order to get to the keyboard and face buttons, you need to break a void seal/sticker that is on one of the screws.
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
well tampering with the phone does void the warranty and plus even if u mess up on ur phone here on xda thats software related...its easy to get the phone back to stock. and its easy to just lie and say some BS excuse.. but a keyboard mod clearly screams VOID
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
i like this keyboard better

i like how the symbols are lime green and not red(or pinkish) liek the tmobile g1...

i was thinking about buying it when i saw it on ebay but then again i dont want to void warranty. and the whtie g1 is not actually white...its clear. so it may look gray on ur black g1.

and white battery cover has been known to chip.... i was going to buy the full white battery cover but i figured i should also order zagg invisible shield.
[G1 Accessories] rljetsetradio:
that does look clean. i might be interested in following suit.
[G1 Accessories] themadbogart:
white battery cover?!?

I was unaware that a white battery cover existed. I have the white g1 and am appalled/disgusted/annoyed/enraged/$FAVORITE_HARSH_WORD at the bronze back cover. I'm looking on eBay tomorrow for said cover.

Any other spots I should check for the white battery cover?

-- tasker.
[G1 Accessories] Scarface 2k3:
In the UK the white G1 has a white cover like mine :) and ebay have some.
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
i jsut think the white g1 in uk looks better than the US. i hate how half the phone is silver for US. the whtite g1s that first came out in the states were quickly recalled for paint chipping issues. primarily on the keys and battery cover.
[G1 Accessories] Scarface 2k3:
no, I have a UK white g1 I'm from the I'm (don't mean to sound like a twit)

This is a UK one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/White-T-Mobil...m2a009254c0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_500wt_924 :)
[G1 Accessories] Scarface 2k3:

[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
ACTUALLY the US g1 is half white for the screen part. and from the keyboard down its all silver.

the tmobile uk g1 is almost all white. the middle part is silver but the keyboard keys are white. tmobile uk g1 looks a lot better
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
dude that picture looks sooo fake. first of all whtie g2 trackball is not white. its more of a clearish but murky . like water with a hint of mil when its new. then it basically turns gray from use.
[G1 Accessories] m0nst3rr:
hey what kind of retail store did you go to get them to do it for you?

i looked in the service manual, and im pretty sure i wouldnt be able to do it on my own.
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
okay i know theres a link for trackballs. i am not an idiot. but the picture of the supposely having the trackball installed looks like a fake ass photo. first of all it looks like the trackball is lit. and trackballs dont come in white. esp not in that white. like i stated its comes in a color where water has a litttle bit of milk in it.

u didnt post videos of the new trackball.. if you care to disprove me then upload a video. if not, then i stand by my answer.that picture looks fake. so i am not looking likek an idiot. u think a link to the trackball is proof?
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
I used to be into modding cars before I started grad school... this thread reminds me of a guy who took his sports car and put an airbag suspension in, thus destroying the amazing handling he originally had. To each their own though...
[G1 Accessories] westway11:
Everyone in this thread has absolutely horrible grammatical skills; it's ridiculously hard to understand what you are trying to say.
[G1 Accessories] xManMythLegend:
I'm assuming that even with a replacement trackball the trackball remains unlit right ? ((i.e they never light up))

Does the white keyboard give you the same problems as the gray keyboard where the backlight makes it hard to read the keys ?

Im considering a black keyboard just to alleviate that. ((i know about backlight off but its a pain))
[G1 Accessories] turboyo:
wow you riced your G1 out ..nice
[G1 Accessories] nolimit78:
Good lookin G1 sir!
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
I'm glad someone else sees what I'm saying.
[G1 Accessories] xManMythLegend:
Nice. Make fun of someone for changing the color of there phone case on a forum dedicated to modding devices.

Both smart and classy.
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
his picture of the supposed white trackball install is fake. i can tell it is. and a video he posted a couple days ago talking about g1s, he pulls out his modded g1 with white keyboard and look carefully. trackball still stock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnjFSxyE-V0&feature=sub

and he called me an idiot and such for calling the trackball install fake.
[G1 Accessories] xManMythLegend:
What pic the ebay pic ? In that case DUH. Its ebay. They photoshop every pic to have the colored trackball thats being auctioned.

Secondly, Im fairly sure there are 2 different trackballs on G1. A black and a white. If you want to refer to the white one as murky , skim milkish , translucent , wax paperish than go ahead...its still not the same trackball as a stock black G1. Nor does it change his intent.

I have no idea why so much effort is being put into bashing creativity on THIS message board.Go blow up his spot on youtube where it may be appropriate and expected.

Lastly my question still hasnt been answered..the stock trackballs dont light up. How are the Ebay ones claiming they do ? Im not familiar with trackballs/led setups.
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
the pic of his supposed "scroll ball install" in the first post. its the first pic. it shows it glowing..

stock trackballs dont light up, and even if the trackballs from ebay contain LEDs in them... some code has to be written in order to get the LEDs to work. proving that his scroll ball picture he posted on the first page is fake.

he claims he installed it but i dont appreciate how he called me and idiot and said its not fake when its clear in his newest youtube vid that he still has the black scroll ball.

i do prefer having the whhite keys he has installed on my white g1 since the silver is really not cutting it.

point is...he posted a fake picture(look at the first post) and claiming it was real.
[G1 Accessories] pkrattu:
dam who cares seriously? u guys are fighting over a stupid little trackball. wow you guys are cool. anyways. point is no that he posted a fake picture. the point is that this thread was created to show off his sexy looking g1. so don't talk sh!t.. dam
[G1 Accessories] xManMythLegend:
Yes the original pic was phoney as all hell. I thought it was a mockup of what he wanted it to look like. Either way i dont think people should be so quick to call each other idiot or fake so quickly on these type of message boards.

Thanks for the trackball info.Was very confused by that auction info.

Are the white keys giving you the same backlight problems on a white G1 ?

I went ahead and ordered the black keyboard just out of pure irritation with the silver.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisB:
I wonder how the proper way to cook a ROM is. I have fooled a little around with some ROMs by adding some files, removing some, editing a file here and there. Packed it, and signed it.

But is this the way to cook a ROM?

I really like to hear how its supposed do be done. Right down to the kernel..

Or maybe just point me in a direction.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I really wouldn't mind a couple pointers in the right direction as well.

I installed an Ubuntu VM today and I'm getting the Android SDK up and running.

At this point, I have no idea what to do next, but I'm stubborn so I'll keep trying.

Thanks for any help that any one can provide.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dmanbuhnik:
a few links realated to the issue:

http://source.android.com/download

http://www.cianer.com/androidg1/28-building-android-kernel-images

i'm starting to mess around with things, i think i'm close in creating ROM from the cupcake branch

I also need to read more on the issue from someone that already created one

Thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] masr1979:
Probably the thing I miss most about my Wizard is this. The guys making roms are doing a wonderful job, but not everyone has the same needs; sure there's a lot of different roms out there, but I just rather do these things myself. That said, I personally haven't really tried to hard to get info on the subject and I'm sure there's plenty of it around if I care to look. Maybe I'm just spoiled from my wizard days with the guides and the kitchens and stuff.

I'll do some reading courtesy of dmanbuhnik @ some point; not now though.... regretfully I gotta wake up early....on a saturday.... the single most hateful thing that can happen to me in a week.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
I agree we need a HOW to guide on custom ROM's.

Little off topic but is there any way to optimize the 32B Kernel for a smaller footprint and speed. Possibly remove some features. With the small memory size on it we need to cut the fat where it matters.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dmanbuhnik:
you need to create the kernel from scratch in order to get an optimize one for your needs

i know that you can play around with the .config file to decide which features you want in or out

but as a said - i'm only at the begining of the process i rather hear it from someone with real experience on the issue
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bugdeyez:
I have searched both google and this forum and have not found any relevant information so I am hoping someone might know the answer to this. I have the Touch HD in NYC working on Tmobile with no 3G service. It appears that Tmobile now has the Touch Pro 2 with 3G service. I called Tmobile and they confirmed that it has the 1700/2100 bands. I then called HTC and was told that the radio can/may unlock the needed bands to run on Tmobiles high speed service. So....has anyone tried this? The radio version for the Tmobile Touc Pro 2 is 3.45.25.14 but I cant find it available anywhere to give it a try. Maybe it's lucky I didnt find it as I dont really know the effect it would have on my phone.

So....any thoughts?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bugdeyez:
OK. I now found a tmobile test version shipped with radio 3.44.25.17

I figured since noone seems to want to take the time to answer I would

just see what I can figure out.

Using NBHextract I was able to get to, from what I can assess is the radio file,

02_GSM.nb

I then found another program that supposedly should help to create a new nbh file with just the radio. I followed the instructions including a text file with the following inside:

Blackstone

00000000

3.44.25.14

USA

300,02_GSM.nb (I do not know if 300 is correct for the HD)

It did create an NBH file, when I tried to run it all I got was an error code "0058002"

I have no idea what the error code means and I do not know what else I can do to try and make this work.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I might have gone wrong?

Is it just that you cannot use the radios interchangeably between the 2 devices??

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
as CaiCai says you will need security unlock your HD.

this will cost you £10 gbp read the thread, as you have minimal posts.

Please also be aware this isn't a helpdesk, if you ask a question there's no guarantee it's going to be answered with your 1st 1 1/2 hour of asking

I'd suggest trying some patience, some people actually do have a life away from this forum, I know it doesn't appear that way sometimes, but we do try to escape the cords that bind us..

Personally I cant see how unless they included the hardware to enable the extra frequencies it could possibly work how you want. But I can hex edit the radio after you've done security unlock.

If you read this very forum there is a thread on radios, in fact there's two.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bugdeyez:
CaiCai: thanks for your straight forward answer and info. I will look into the things you suggested.

Fards:

If I am reading into your post incorrectly, forgive me, but I just sense as if your response has a tinge of attitude. You are absolutely right, i am impatient. However I was not disrespectful about it. I just explained my experience with the methods i tried in attempting to apply the new radio.

That being said, the two radio threads from what ive read, dont address this kind of question. I will reread them to be sure. In regards to your statement about the phone not having the physical capability to work on those bands, there are some people that have postulated that it may be more of a low level programming issue. Also as I said I spoke to someone at HTC and he said it is possible for a radio to allow a phone to work on additional frequencies.

Thanks for your suggestions also. I will look into unlocking the phone as you suggested. I was under the impression I had already done that, but as you see, I am still relatively new to this. Ive been around for over a yr and half, just not many posts. Also, how would hex editing the radio file help in the inatallation of it? I havent heard any references made to that before.

Thanke again fpr taking the time to respond.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As stated previously by others you need to security unlock your device first. Info on this is available here. Radio's from other devices which are known to work on the HD with this security unlock can be found here. Once your device is security unlocked it will state 'Security unlocked' along the top of bootloader screen.

The radio you mention 3.44.25.17, I don't believe has been tried on the HD before, it may work with this security unlock, but it may not. Some radio's from other devices can still brick your device even when you use security unlock, so do this at your own risk.

As fards stated, try and be patient and don't go trying things unless you are 100% certain. Read up on everything first. Myself and others will always try to help when online. If unsure of anything, you can always PM me.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bugdeyez:
Rick, thanks for the info. I know people ask the same questions over and over and it can get annoying. There is just such a wealth of information on here that sometimes it definitely is possible to get lost in it all. I really appreciate all the help i get, especially when it is packed in such a friendly tone.

Ideally, I am looking for radio 3.45.25.17

I havent found it as of yet found it. That 3.44

was from a test rom for the TMO touch pro 2.

I have the raw files from the TMO TP2 but from

what ive read, you cant make a radio installer from

a rom dumped from a phone. You need the ruu-signed.nbh file.

Thanks a lot.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
theres a good chance that the radio will still need hex editing, if you read the threads about radio unlocking it's mentioned in both of them.

It's not hard to do at all, it just needs one section changing

me attitude.. noo never ..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bugdeyez:
Thanks guys for directing me to the right locations. I think the problem was I was searching with my terms being too specific. Looking for exactly that radio on the HD. Anyway, I will be bringing up the same issue here for anyone that would like to follow how it plays out.

I guess you can delete this if you would like.

I created a gold card a few days ago to root my MyTouch and all went well. Phone got rooted, had Hero rom installed.. but now I cannot read any other SD card in the system aside from the Goldcard. Any device I plug in that is considered "Drive 1" is unreadable.

Is it now fubar or is there a way to un-do this crap?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
could you elaborate more? is this a built in memory card reader? USB Reader? phone plugged in over usb?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ardhy:
have you try to reformat your card ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] razorz:
I created the gold card with an external USB card reader.

XP cannot read the drive anymore, let alone format it. I have tried with multiple cards, card readers, etc.

I plug in my new Hero via USB and I get the "Please insert a disk" popup.

If I load up the HeX editor used in the gold card creation, it shows the Hero phone as Disk 1, which was the disk I did the Hex editing to.

As stated though, if I plug in any USB card reader and place the gold card inside, it reads that SD card just fine. Any other card says please insert disk. I have tried with 5 different SD cards.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
it sounds to me like you need to uninstall drivers and reinstall. are you using windows xp or vista or what?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] razorz:
XP, but it looks like it's any device that ends up becoming "Drive 1" I have tried uninstalling drivers.

What does the HeX program actually do when you paste the goldcard.img values in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vman81:
Try booting your machine up with an Ubuntu livecd to see if it can read it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djchiena:
I had a similar issue to this and i solved it by inserting the card you want to format in the Mytouch, Mount the SD card through USB mode on the phone, and if it mounts as a drive through the phone, go ahead and format it there from windows.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] razorz:
Did that fix your other issues? I did the goldcard through an external flash reader, not through the MyTouch.. and as it would be, I do not have the MyTouch anymore, I have a Hero.

If I try and format the card on the hero it says please insert a disk.

The reason this is an issue is I cannot use HTC Sync nor the CoPilot Central software because it cant mount the phones SD card.
