[General Questions and Answers] Sea_Gull:
Dears,

I have been using my HTC P3600 Trinity for 2 years, last 1.5 years, I am using with ROM: 31XiTNY-STD.

I was not happy of the memory and decided to use another ROM and problems started.

After flashing different ROMs such as 31XiTNY-SXY, FInixNOver v3.7.2 - M2D, allmost all, etc. everyting go well at the beginning and suddenly (eg: changing some contact info, or adding picture to a contact or afrte new software) it bloked itself. Even soft reset can not be a solution, it stay at the first screen (I can not see windows again). The only solution that I found is flashing a new ROM but after few program installation it happens again and again.

Can it be a hardware problem or have you faced such a problem before,

Please help, I do not want to use my Nokia 6310i again :)

If it can be a hardware problem, any idea about repairment.

Best regards from Istanbul.

When I first got my g1 I loved it. Then the cupcake update happened. Everyone was overjoyed - except me. My phone went much slower and juddery, and loads of little errors happened. Now these are the 2 problems i need help with:

Rotating. The phone stays in either portrait or landscape mode and won't rotate to the correct mode with the keyboard sliding in or out.

And

Messaging. Whenever I send an sms message i get a force error as soon as the text is sent through.

PLEASE HELP ME :'( :'( before i go to t-mobile and cancel my phone - it has got that bad ((((((((((((((((((((((

If you need anymore info just ask thanks,

Ross.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
You might want to try re-flashing the cupcake update, if your phone is rooted then you can search around and find out how to do it easily. If not you need to find the official tmobile cupcake update, I dont have any link for it but I am sure if you search here or google you will find it. You then need to plug your g1 into the usb on your pc and mount the sd card, if it is a .nbh file name it DREAMIMG.nbh, if its a .zip name it update.zip and copy it over. Then reboot into spl by holding camera+power and follow onscreen instructions. Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axion68:
Try doing a wipe and see if that fixes your problems.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JBNAquatics:
Hey guys, a friend of mine has a Tmobile MT3G (32B) and he's on a special $10 unlimited data plan (exact same as the $24.99/mo plan but cheaper; not web2go). Anyways, because the MT3G is a phone from Tmobile, he could not access the web unless he upgrades the Mytouch plan dedicated to his phone. I was wondering if I upgrade the ROM to the HTC Hero's, which would change the model number of the phone, would it recognize it as an HTC Hero and allow my friend to use his $10 internet plan? Thanks a bunch in advance :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] motivecc:
nope... you'd have to somehow change the imei to make it register as a regular phone with tmobile in order to disable port blocking on their side in order for it to work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hondasr:
I dont know how but rigth now i have an old data plan $15 for unlimited data/ Unlimited Text and dont work on a G1 or Mytouch 3g a web page say Data Service Required. But i got today a HTC Touch Pro 2 Tmobile Branded and my data plan works very great and i have an HTC Hero and work great too. I see on the g1 and mytouch in the About phone/Status something that i never see on any phone IMEI SV 02 i think this is the value for detect the phone. My Hero dont have this value.

I am using Cyanogen 4.0.1.

I recently flashed the new radio and then flashed the HardSPL and ever since then I have not been able to scan for Wifi networks. That appears to be the only problem I am experiencing at the moment.

Any one else have similar issues, or know of how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
The SPL doesn't have anything to do with wifi. What does the baseband say in about phone. wifi, 3g etc. are powered by the radio, try to reflash that. Also link to the new radio you flashed. Doesn't hurt to check the md5 of your download.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
I would definitely start with reflashing the radio image from Haykuro's site. If you are going to continue to use Cyanogen's amazing ROM, I would NOT flash Haykuro's SPL. Stay with the HardSPL to reduce chance of bricking on accident.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antirock:
I flashed the radio from Haykuro's site, I re-flashed and I still do not get any wifi.

The wifi function will turn on fine but then when I try to scan for my network and it will display a message saying "unable to scan for wifi networks" and then the wifi function will turn itself off.

btw, I am now running CM 4.0.2
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soloxp:
I'm running Cyanogen 4.0.1 with Haykuro's radio+HardSPL and wifi works find and everything else. wipe and reflash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootleg16:
something similar happened to me on my tmobile dash.

i flashed the spl wrong or idk and then my wi-fi broke
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
People have had similar experiences with wifi on the xROM. Many people weren't able to get wifi up and running with HardSPL, but then upgraded to Haykuro's SPL and it started working fine.

I don't think this is mere coincidence... even though neither dev requires the newest SPL, it seems that wifi doesn't work without it.

For what it's worth, update your radio (I'm sure you're on the latest radio, but for posterity's sake, just do it again), then update to the new SPL, then reflash your ROM.

Report back... I'm guessing you'll be a happy camper.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
I've never had a problem but i upgraded to hardspl before cyans newest roms. maybe something in their updates kills the functionality

you should have put the newest radio before you flashed a cupcake rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Any updates antirock? If it's still not working after a wipe and reflash, I would recommend reflashing the newest radio and flashing Haykuro's SPL. Check my sig for more info.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antirock:
Ok, here is what I did.

wiped and reflashed radio and it still didn't work.

So I reverted back to Cyanogen 4.0, reflashed radio, reflashed spl, wiped, reflashed CM 4.0.2...and now wifi is working.

However, the vibrate funciton on my soft keyboard doesn't work. I figure that it is the rom, but no one else seems to be having this problem in the CM 4.0.2 thread.

Thanks for all of your help!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
So you're still on HardSPL? If others aren't having this problem, then try Haykuro's SPL if you meet the requirements.

I had two G1s for a while... one of them flashed to JACxROM fine, but on the other, wifi wouldn't work. They both had the same radio and HardSPL. Flashing Haykuro's SPL to that phone and suddenly everything worked fine.

I don't know why these phones are like that... maybe its some small difference with the actual hardware inside the phone, or the downloaded file you're trying to flash, or maybe whether or not you flash when there's a full moon. Your guess is as good as mine. Point is that MAYBE the newer SPL will work for you.

It's funny how wiping, uninstalling and reinstalling usually fixes everything.:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrs:
Okay so I'm pretty sure my SD card got fried (or damaged) last night.

The notification of "Damaged SD card" kept on showing up.

I tried running the repair file systems from CM recovery 1.4, all variations of rebooting, powering down, removing the SD card and all that to help 'fix' my problem.

I also went into settings to see if i have the option to mount and format the SD, but shows unavailable. Also SD secondary is unavailable as well.

So for sure my SD card is fried..... i think lol.

The thing that I am confused about is that I have apps2sd and try to use the apps that I know are installed on my SD card, I'm still able to access and use them, even though my SD card is damaged. I tried rebooting without the SD card inserted and I get FC's galore.

So does that mean my FAT32 partition is damaged and not my EXT partition?

How do I go about to remedy this?

Do I go ahead and click the on the notification to format my SD card?

Then it'll format my FAT32 partition and not my EXT partition?

Or is that totally wrong?

Confused and in need of some guidance. Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukekirstein:
Spot on ;)

Format your card. If you use Linux, you can back up your apps, but you'll have to format and then re-install the EXT2 partition.

Basically, the FAT32 partition got corrupted. Anytime you actually see anything about the SD card on the phone itself, it's always the FAT32 partition.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshields:
hey there i had that same problem all i did was resize my fat32 partition

i used GNU parted so go to console and type

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

now type

print

this displays the sd cards size in MB write down the max memory

now type

resize

it will ask what partition number type 1 it will the ask for a start size just type 0 if it errors saying couldnt write 0 but can write 8192B just say yes and for the end size type 1MB less than your max

Example for my 8gig card

resize
1
8192B
7965 - change to 7964

this will bring up a error saying the filesystem is damaged do you want to fix say yes

then type

quit

then

upgrade_fs

and that should do it :)

forgot to add your going to have to delete your ext partition FIRST! for that type

rm 2

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strapt:
I believe it has something to do with the signature check when trying to flash something like an SPL that it has to verify. The S-OFF i believe that was the one that was able to be flashed by Hykuros spl for the phone and the one that said S-ON wouldnt flash .. until the goldcard came out
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukekirstein:
Just figured it out. One of your phones is the Google Ion, the other is the G1. Same "brand", different "model".

Hi guys,

as far as this is my first WinMo device, i ain't informated that good as you are hopefully :)

So is WinMo 6.5 worth installing on my device, or should i stick to WinMo 6.1?

Can anyone telle me the advantages of WinMo 6.5 in contrast to 6.1?

Rly thx a lot for helping me out everyone :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Leechoonhwee:
Although WM6.5 is still in BETA but personally I find that there are really no serious issues can be used reliably as a daily phone.

The main advantage I see over 6.1 is really the speed of the OS. Try flashing the NRG rom and you will know what I mean! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mastermarv:
finger scrolling and a more finger friendly start menu. as htc made both available to 6.1 the difference is not very big. try getting yourself an overview of 6.5 by checking out some of the numerous 6.5 videos that are around on youtube.

Hi Guys,

I have an Unlocked T-Mobile G2 Touch - AKA - HERO !!!

I have installed new firmware / roms on Nokia phones numerous times but Android is new to me - however i wont go back to Nokia as the Hero is great...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oblika:

A lot of us are Linux users too!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sykow:
No offense, but please get more into adb and all the tools needed for reflashing.

Making things idiot proof is useless in my opinion. If you have no idea how to use adb, why upgrade anyway? Chances are you won't understand most custom upgrades/tweaks anyway..

All releases by HTC will be idiot proof, no doubt about it, but installing a custom rom takes skill, knowledge and patience.

In general, an idiot posseses none of the above.

Second, there are no custom roms available for the Hero.

If you want to install custom roms in the future, take some time to understand things. Spoonfeeding this info won't learn you anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Stea1thmode:
Hey Sykow, I understand your point but it wasn't helpful. It's comments like these that can deter a newbie from asking questions. A person must ask questions to learn.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joemax:
No doubt some of the skills needed to load custom firmware or even stock HTC firmware to de-brand your Hero are needed in order for many of us here to upgrade to the rumoured minor update and major update coming soon.

Having a handset from the telco on contract and then having to wait for weeks or even forever to get a bug fixed / performance enhanced firmware update from HTC is not something I want to have to suffer.

As soon as HTC release updated firmware, I will want to know how to load it via my Mac running OS X (preferred) or booted into my Windows partition (not preferred).

All without drama and with little risk of toasting my Hero.

Its not too much to ask surely ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pjcforpres:
From what I can tell, it is pretty straight forward, just like the first time you flash a phone, a bit never racking, and a bit foreign. A co-worker of mine has assured me it is as easy as a WinMo phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joemax:
Nice to be easy as a WiMo phone... but I've had Nokia for years.

Easy to de-brand.

Use Nemesis.

Change Product Code to one like a generic EU code.

Go back to Nokia Software Update.

Download new manufacturer direct firmware... Orange as far as I know, never approved new firmware while I used an N95, N82, N85.

Android de-branding seems to involve a complex trip to a command line editor, a download of firmware that you don't really know where it came from and a large dose of prayer and crossed fingers and toes...

I guess I will wait until someone posts how to load the upcoming updated firmware from HTC so I will end up with a more reliable, stable and faster performing handset... like the one I thought I'd signed up for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pjcforpres:
I am getting my Hero sometime mid-september... I will post up a walk through when I get some personal experience.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joemax:
Sweet :)

That sounds like a plan...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squirreleater:
A touch patronising.

I Flash Roms all the time on my Blackstone, and manage to use the custom upgrades/tweeks....

Android is a new OS, and has a new set of terms and abreviations etc, As the OP says, there seems to be little out there to explain things

When there are pages and pages of wikis for the Hero/Android then yes, I can understand being frustrated about noobie questions, but until there IS threads/stickies/Wikis out there then I'm afraid there will be questions put forward like this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sykow:
Correct. But those things need time. How long has the Hero been out now? Couple of weeks? C'mon..

And a person doesn't learn by asking questions. At least, not here. There are TONS of threads around. All the things you need are in there. It's just a matter of looking, taking the time to actually learn and read. If you still don't get it after the proper research, ask questions. Give the exact problem so we can tailor the reponse to it.

I flashed my old Wizard so many times.. Then I got on to the iPhone 2G, making it work in The Netherlands. I took the time to read all the reports, stickies and the necessary info to make it work. With some motivation and some common sense every person can do this.

I'm completely new to Android and I managed to root, update and tweak my Hero within 1 hour.

I just have a problem with these guys coming here, "demanding" a guide for idiots, making no effort at all to understand the complexity of it all.

This device hasn't even been out for a month! Chill out! When the stuff is ready, it will come.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stav4187:
Hmmmmm

Sykow - thanks for your comments, please dont call us "demanding idiots !" Like you I and many others are new to Android and yes its a huge learning curve, I have rooted my HERO and Tweaked it but merely wanted advice on some of the explanation given as i did not think it was that clear !!!

I have programmed, tweaked and installed numerous roms on blackberry and nokia previously and wanted advice on Android - you were not born with the knowledge you had to learn it....

Anyway after a polite request at least someone was polite enough to assist and it is sorted - bring on the cooked roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghoonk:
I have to agree with Sykow here to a degree. Rooting, flashing and backing up isn't for the weak of heart, and one wrong move could mean that the same newbie comes back to this forum crying about a bricked phone and bad instructions, and that would just distract people from the real point of this sub-forum, i.e. actual ROM hacking, stuff like what Haykuro is doing in the background.

Here's a starting point that worked for me:

Rooting the Hero: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/08/how-to-gain-root-access-on-your-htc-hero/

After that, if you're looking at replacing built-in apps and cooking your own ROMs, you're better off looking in the Dream Android Development sub-forum where it all started. If you're having problems looking for technical pointers in those sub-forums and instead finding that most questions are about how-do-i root/flash/etc, you'll start to understand where Sykow is coming from

Me, I don't think you're an idiot. I just think it'd help to spend your time with the Android SDK as well as searching the other Android Dev sub-forums in XDA for what you're looking for. If you're confident enough after that to come up with a How-To of your own for the benefit of newbies, feel free to go ahead, but from what I have seen from time to time, it can be a thankless job when newbies fail to follow the instructions to a T, brick their devices then come back crying or *****ing, and expect someone to fix it for them. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
I found the HTC Dream wiki section on rooting/hacking etc quite informative:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_overview_and_useful_information

I managed to work out how to make a backup last night, using files from Paulatmodoco's rooting guide:

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291397/12-08-1-4-modaco-hero-patch-a2sd-root-busybox-much-more/

Simply follow his instructions up to stage 5. Then you will be in the recovery image menu and you can select to make a nandroid backup.

If I have some time later, I'll write up a dummys guide to making a nandroid backup, which is one of the most important steps I reckon :) And rooting using paul's system is then very, very easy. as is flashing a new ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] npw:
I must also agree with Sykow. I only recently got my Hero and had no knowledge of rooting. I'm sure a step by step guide would be lovely but actually it is possible and it pays to read up about it yourself.

I knew the Android SDK was needed, so I downloaded and installed that as per Android website, read about what adb and fastboot did. The files and commands were easy to source from here. About and hours reading and a complete Android noob was rooted and away. I do feel that some folk maybe can't be bothered with the reading part, but think - if something goes wrong in the process, you aren't going to know why or how to fix it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghoonk:
My sentiments exactly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squirreleater:
Thats exactly what I'm doing. Just getting used to it and will happily wait for people cleverer than me to start modifying things.

As it is out of the box it's (IMO) better than a flashed and modded Winmo device, so I'm a happy bunny!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joemax:
@ghoonk - Many thanks for the link, this explains very clearly how to root the Hero.
