[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mi|enko:
If you skip the "givemeroot" step and follow Amon's directions, your system will reflect 32A (meaning you should only install 32A roms). If you take this step, it'll jump you back to 32B.

I am a frequent flasher but I have a few games i play. It sucks starting over on Sims 3 and other games every time I flash a new rom. Does anyone know how to back up the game saves?
[G1 Apps and Games] h.nocturna:
Backup For Root Users, backup the data, flash, restore data, done.
[G1 Apps and Games] ThR1LL:
I personally just backup the game data specifically by going into the /data/data folder
[G1 Apps and Games] AdrianK:
Thanks for the tip, I'd rather do it manually than trusting an app :)

Is Sims 3 out yet?! :-O
[G1 Apps and Games] StellarWiid:
Thanks guys :)

Yup, it's pretty fun, not as impressive looking as the iphone one but stilll fun.
[G1 Apps and Games] AdrianK:
Hmmm just searched in the market for 'sims', 'the sims' and 'sims 3' and none of them returned anything. Market search sucks!

But flash with the hardspl 1.22, not the others...

After that, down any rom, connect your phone to your computer, and launch the exe...

AND RTFM !
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
I like to whipe periodically for that fresh g1 feel and smoothness, only reason I hate doing it is that I have to manually punch in my WEP code for the wifi over and over again. It's an annoyance I would love to get rid of. I've tried a few backup apps, none do it though. Anyone know of a specific app that does, or a way I can do it through term/adb? Any way?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prash:
I'm sure there is a way to pull the wifi settings data from the system somehow but I've actually found a gscript which I edited a little that goes through and calls the settings screen, turns on wifi, clicks on the topmost network available (assuming youre near the one you want to connect) and enters the WEP key as defined in the gscript code.

You may be able to find it in the 'useful gscipt' thread that was around on xda but if not, I can post mine (edited of course) as soon as my g1 gets done flashing the latest CM rom. :]

EDIT: Here you go put this in gscript or make an empty txt document, paste the following, edit the bold type to reflect your WEP key, save as setupwifi.sh file and run through terminal "sh setupwifi.sh"

***Requires root / 'su' *** either way you run it.

Just make sure your wifi is turned off for the purpose of this script, since first thing it does is go to settings, clicks wireles, turns on wifi. If you had the wifi on and ran this script, it'll turn off and script will sort of go haywire. No damage but just it wont do what its inteded to do.

It's actually fun to watch your phone do things on it's own and press keys and all that. If you want more details on what each of the keyevent's do, just find the GScript thread and its all in there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clavs1:
Hello! Sorry for bringing this thread back up. But, before anyone gets angry at me, I'm sorry in advance... I did use the search (trust me, I'm in love with it) and didn't have any luck finding anything other than this.

Anyways, just had a small question: let's say I don't know the wep key because my admin at work put it in for me (they wont share it) but I don't want to ask him every time I flash a rom for it again and again. So I was wondering if the script below would make my device pull the inputted wep key from the device and memorize it after every flash or does it only work if the wep key is inserted?

Is there maybe an app that can just backup data (including wifi wep keys)? or another script that shows you the currently inputted wep key on my device that my admin types in it?

When I had my blackberry the desktop manager backup system would save the wifi wepkeys, don't know why Google wont synchronize settings, data, apps, and wep keys but I guess to each it's own.

I have a T-mobile USA G1

Thank you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Wifi settings are located here:

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Copy the .conf file to a safe place before you wipe and install a new ROM and then push it back using ADB or place it on your sdcard and push it back using terminal.

With this method, there is no way to see what the key is, but then again, you don't have to because once you push the file back, all your data is remembered.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sto0ka:
Just open wpa_supplicant.conf with notepad on PC and whoops your wep key is there.

Write it on paper and make tatoo of it on your leg :D

Edit:

Solution(s) witouth PC

Or open it with TxTPad Lite (free on market) directly on phone and read it :P

Upload wpa_supplicant.conf to dropbox with droidbox free :P

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dracius:
So I've tried reading through some of the introduction threads, but there's so many jargon terms thrown out casually that I have no idea what half the posts are talking about.

I just "exchanged" my old AT&T Tilt for the AT&T Fuze, and I'm loving it. However, I want to update my ROM to windows mobile 6.5, and get into customizing it a bit. I know the first part is the hardest, because you run the risk of bricking the phone.

Since I have no experience doing this, could someone help walk me through the process?

I know I most likely want a 'cooked' ROM, and I've read the tutorial a few times, I'm just not sure I'm understanding it correctly due to some of the terminology. I'm also not entirely sure what ROM I want yet, and was hoping someone might be able to point me towards one that fits my needs.

Again, sorry if I'm asking when I just just be leaping. Will someone please hold my hand and give me some chocolate milk and talk me through changing the ROM? >.<

Thanx for your reply, it proves you didn't read my post at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bartimeus:
well if you had clicked his link you would realize that post is exactly what you were asking for.

also. No one can pick out a ROM for you. Browse through them and test a few out. it only takes a few moments to flash a new ROM to your phone.

What terminology are you having trouble with? if you search for it in the wiki or in the post that was linked above then you will undoubtedly find an explanation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stewartsoda:
A good site for general overview, if you can handle the writing style, is blown fuze. I gained a lot of info reading this, even though I don't have a Fuze yet (but would like to get one).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
take the time to click the link and it will provide you all the instructions needed. Everything is explained in full detail even providing the program you need to flash a new rom, so you should really really click before you complain.

trust me, that link on flashing your first gsm rom is as complete as you get, unless you want big pretty pictures or a video.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theoneeye:
TO THE OP

Having looked at all the stickies first rom flashing looks easier on this than on my old wizard. I found the sim unlocking,cid and super cid unlocking :eek: at first but I read everything twice and it worked okay for me

And if it doesnt then there are plenty of people here who can help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ntron1:
Perhaps flashing is not in your future.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dracius:
Thank you for actually reading my post, I greatly appreciate it.

To everyone else, I DID click the link, and read it several times before even posting. If you had bothered to read my post, you would have noticed I referenced it several times. I took the time to read before posting, you could at least have the civil decency to do the same.

@ Theoneeye, thank you for the assurance, I tracked down someone who was able to answer some ROM questions for me and help me find a good starting ROM and assist me with the process to make sure I don't brick my phone on my first go at it.

Normally I just try things like this, and if it fails, try again until it works. However, since I read up on this first (even though everyone here seems to think I didn't) I know I run the risk of bricking my phone. Since I've gone through several exchanges already to get this phone for free (long story) I don't wanna be swapping another phone so soon.

To those who still bother to read posts, any input you can provide on your ROM choices, or the other half of my post regarding some things I should look into installing, I would appreciate it.

To anyone else who's going to continue to refer me to that sticky instead of reading, please **** off. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
wow. I'm surprised. If you actually read through the link several times and you still did not get it, you were skimming it or you really really do not have a strong grasp on the english language.

Hell, it's even numbered. How much easier would you prefer. If you want suggestions for ROM choices, it is entirely up to you. Every rom has their own unique "style" that they offer and they describe it all in the first post. Energy, NATF, etc all explain their roms in great details and some even provide extra steps.

My blunt suggestion here is that before you tell others to **** off for referring you to where everyone else has use as reference and successfully performed a flash, you should save your rudeness for yourself. Also, if you have any questions on terminology, ask which jargon is throwing you a wrench in your direction following process. That would make it much easier to explain.

P.S: seriously read through that damn sticky, it is as clear as a swarovski crystal. Follow it step by step and don't "do your thing" and you'll have a successful flash.

btw. way to be a jackass to those who have already given you the answers you asked for.

EDIT: TLDR version. Be polite, and follow the directions to the letter. and ROMs are your personal choice since they're all unique and they come in full explanations as to their purpose.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Stevomenevo:
I see your arrogance is getting you far
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gshaw:
Just getting into this meself and so far it looks like...

- sort out the hardSPL update first to let you do the ROM and other upgrades...

- once it says 1.90.OliNex on the bootloader fetch the new ROM

- reading around and going by most references the Energy 6.5 ROM seems to be worth a shot, think that's what I'll be installing on my TP

- while you're at it search for aerial upgrades and put a newer version on at the same time to sort out GPS and phone performance.

Just make sure you follow the instructions to the letter, don't run anything else on the PC while updates are being done and check, check and triple check the ROMS to make sure they're correct before doing anything ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dracius:
Thank you!

It's helpful knowing there's some decent people on these forums who are willing to help out. I was able to get the few basic questions I had regarding installation and some pointers to help me find a ROM that fits my needs. Since then I've done a few flashes and all have gone off without a hitch.

To those of you who continue to think I'm being rude, you seem to fail to realize the ignorance and blatant 'ass hattery' in repeatedly referring someone to read something they already read without providing any additional information. It comes across as very condescending, and isn't helpful at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Speaking of "It comes across as very condescending, and isn't helpful at all."

If you want help here this is NOT the way to get it.

This is a community of great minds and mutual respect, not somewhere for someone to start making demands and throwing out general negativity.

No one here

thinks

you continue to be rude, THEY CAN READ IT FOR THEMSELVES.

:rolleyes: Everyone here is willing to help, but you need to help yourself first. You're off to a really great start.... :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Sorry Dracius, i'm with the majority of people here who think you're rude and havent understood the idea of this site - its a community developement site, not a one-stop download & personal tech support center.

The instructions in the flashing guide are

exactly

what you need to start you off in the world of flashing roms. It has a "before you start" backup part - with a link to free backup software.

It then goes on to explain

exactly

and

in detail

how to flash (GSM) hard spl - including a link and instructions to ensure you have a GSM phone. It also tells you to ensure you dont have any other programs running / screen saver etc which might throw a spanner in the works.

Following that, it says - if you want to - how to sim & security unlock the phone, including the required link.

Next it details how to flash a rom, including a very helpful line

Your prefered rom - remember this is a guide on how to flash - not what to flash. To decide that, read the details in the rom forum, read other users feedback - and then when it doesnt help, do what everyone else does and try half a dozen to see what it is

you

want your phone to be like.

Finally, the guide tells you how to flash a different radio - and again says this is optional. It then links to a radio thread which explains what the radio does and why you might want to flash it.

If you have a problem with

any

part of the process (or pretty much anything related to your phone) then (after searching & reading) make a post explaining what your problem is - and what you have done to help yourself (say exactly which threads you have read, and why they dont help you / what you dont understand) - people will generally help.

This isnt what you did.

Oh, welcome to the community.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
You don't actually need to restore the original SOL to go back to WM5 or 6.1. Just run the flash file either on the pc or by the sd card method. SPL won't make a difference.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] josh_prayyforplagues:
The Tmo Rep put mine on for me. He must be new, though. He had no clue the TP2 came out today, i had to tell him. alskdjf. and when he tried to put the screen protector on, he looked like if he was trying to do NeuroSurgery or something. so now i have a big air bubble running down the entire left side of the device. and on top of that, when he tried to take the battery cover off, he tried to PRY it off the device. WTF?! it really is not that hard AT ALL to take the cover off. Right? i was a little stunned when he tried to do that. But everythings fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
Yeah usually when I get a device from the store they try to do everything for you. I would have to say no it's ok I got it. Then they would just put it in the bag and I would leave.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Yori-:
i got my tp2 today, and it came with factory plastic screen protector, took me half an hour to realize why i couldnt hear volume on calls.. realized the one that comes with the phone has the top speaker completely SEALED/blocked off... then theres an extra screen protector that came with the phone in the box, that one has preholes for buttons + speaker.. it took a quick 2minutes of finesse to put it down without any air bubbles, i found this quite easy after realizing they had good stick, just do it slowly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jayr04:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] audscott:
Showed up for me on Tmo sites last night: I went to a Tmo store to get one cause I didn't want to wait for shipping. Walmart.com also carries the full line of TMo phones.

As for screen protectors, I like Invisi-shield from Zagg. They protect very well and add a non-slip surface. I just hate the idea of dropping my $800 (HD) phone. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
You can call T-Mobile to order your TP2. For the screen protector, I like "bestskinsever". I use them for every device I had.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] VizagDude:
I ordered mine from Brando, Honkong. I use have their SP on my HD. It was the BEST ones I have seen thus far. But I am not sure if the one I ordered will fit the TP2, as on the Engadget review, I saw fromt he Pics that the Europe TP2 size is a bit differnt to the Tmo USA ones. I should be getting it in a day or 2. I will update once I have it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Try your stylus, it's probably jammed in there now. You can't remove the case without removing the stylus first! Otherwise something gets bent inside. I bet the T-Mo Rep didn't know that, and now you gotta return the phone for a new one.

But, LOL, that's why my phone volume was so quiet!! I still have the factory screen protector on it, which covers the speaker, as someone said! LOL.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] glhs509:
I disagree (At least w/the USA version)...read the following thread again (before your post): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=547538

The cover tabs are not even in the same plane as the stylus...Although I will agree that the T-Mo Rep may have broken a tab while cranking the cover off, causing it to fall in the adjacent stylus slot...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Yea, I read that. That's what hinted me off that the stylus was damaged. And obviously it did get damaged due to the back case, because it's barely removable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] glhs509:
Just a quick check, but does your back cover still have two tabs on each side, and one towards the bottom (middle)? Not sure if it's you or josh_prayyforplagues that was having the stylus problem tho...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
I've got all 5 tabs there.

Idk, how strongly does your stylus stay in there? Do you have to use your fingernail to pry it out? Maybe that's just he way it is designed? It feels like it "sticks" at the beginning. It's not easy to remove the stylus, you have to work at it, lol. Does that sound like how it defaulty comes? Maybe that thread just made me paranoid :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] glhs509:
"Pry" is sort of subjective, but yes, it takes a little tug with a nail to slide it out (which I'm perfectly fine with after all the efforts to keep them in place on my K-Jam).

I can't recall if the 'magnet' feature was implemented on the TP2, but if so, that may have something to do with it.
