[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] meska:
had the same problem, you still have a rom but your phone keeps hanging in the SPL Screen.

Please search fot mTTy i think i wrote a short instruction in the hard spl thread.

it was something with the : set 14 and set 16 command...

Got it fixed easily with this way...

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] killer8nl:
Try putting a stock rom as kovsimg.nbh on your ms and boot in the spl. Maybe it will recognise the update and flash for you
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] clubx1:

I was thinking if anyone knew about htcs and t-mobiles view on rooting
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Well, if they wanted you to do it, than they wouldn't be patching off the root access or the app. So I would reasonible believe they don't want you to. Another thing is they do not warranty work on rooted devices
[G1 General] M..N:
What do you mean they do not warranty work on rooted devices
[G1 General] tehsu:
Meaning a rooted device loses its warranty if its sent in rooted, if its been flashed back then it still has its warranty...
[G1 General] AdrianK:
I doubt Google and HTC care if we root our devices, they don't loose out, and they sell rooted phones any way (ADP1 and I think the ION is rooted too). I guess the only reason google would care is app piracy...

If you root your phone, kiss good bye to your warranty. It really doesn't matter though, if it's a hardware issue you can unroot and they'll never know, and if it's bricked you can say it was update that bricked it.
[G1 General] M..N:
Has anyone in the uk replace their phone successfully
[G1 General] AdrianK:
What do you mean?
[G1 General] M..N:
I mean has anyone in the uk replaced a bricked phone caused by the new spl without any problems
[G1 General] AdamPI:
HTC aren't going to bothered with what people do, neither are Google really. It's the network operators which want to tie people to their crap and have you pay for it.

The issue is with the warranty and if you broke it, Asus, for example, aren't bothered what OS you run on their hardware, but if you flash a bad BIOS then it's your fault. ATI, nVidia, Gigabyte etc encourage overclocking but won't honour warranty if it causes damage.

Google are likely to secretly want rooted phones as more network operators mangle the OS to suit themselves in the future and push their own services over Googles.
[G1 General] StanSimmons:
My guess is that T-Mobile doesn't want rooting because it allows tethering.

Tethering generally causes an increase in data usage, and an increase in bandwidth use by the phone. This can impact T-Mobile cell towers and other T-Mobile customers if too many tethered phones are sucking up bandwidth on a particular tower.
[G1 General] jashsu:
My recollection is that that bug was patched because it allowed any app to gain root access for itself, not just the end user. Hopefully I don't need to explain why that's a bad thing. The patch didn't specifically patch out root access for the user because root access for the user was never a design feature to begin with.

If you really want to know the official views of these companies, email or call them.

Most of the members of xda-dev are not employed by/affiliated with either company, and as such it is impossible to tell if they're telling truth, passing along unverified rumor/hearsay, or just making bs up.
[G1 General] Fingerlickin:
You can also look at it like they don't care if you do it but they don't want a one click solution that will allow every freakin retard out there to do it. Think about it how many stupid questions do we get from people who used the one click vs ones who did it manually.

Also having an app with that kind of access to the phone means ANY app can have that kind of access to your phone including the bad evil kind you dream of making gridlock.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
The problem with rooting is this;

Some very small number of people understand the system and can be fully self-sufficient with full root access.

And then you have the others, who want root for whatever features come with it... and some of them start messing with things they don't understand and end up in a huge mess... and then send it back for warranty work because their device doesn't work right any more. This means MUCH more support from the retailer/manufacturer. The other side of this is that if you have a whole lot of people trying things like cyanogen's latest unstable mod and show it off to a whole lot of people, and it crashed like nuts, then the people who see it don't necessarily understand that it is due to running crazy experimental stuff and instead think that 'droid itself is junk.... which is incorrect.

So preventing root access means that you have a simpler, more consistent, and more reliable environment, which means a better platform reputation and lower overall support costs.
[G1 General] jashsu:
There's another point of consideration. While I know I just wrote about the unverifiability of some posts on xda, i'm going to have to do a complete 180 and do just that. I can't confirm since I'm not a handset maker (nor do I work for one), but i'm quite confident in believing that in order to acquire Google's consent and software support to create a Google Experience phone, root access has to be restricted from the end user. Again that's all speculation.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Good breakdown.
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
I dunno about in the US, but this would most likely be T-Mobile UK's problem.

The terms of the contracts say that you can't tether with the standard net package, you need to upgrade to the next one (extra £10 instead of £5) to be able to use your 3G/HSDPA connection on the PC.

Problem is, with phones like the G1 how would they know? If it was something like an old Sony Ericsson W810 they would know straight away due to the amount you were downloading but on a G1 you can view full webpages anyway, download images etc and programs via the market. So really they have no way of knowing if you're tethering of not. Hence they want to try and stop tethering from being an option.
[G1 General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Fingerlicken, why would I Target a system I use, if I let out any kind of evil it would be against an Iphone.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Just an FYI, but I've just driven down to the Costa Blanca in Spain from the UK, using Copilot as my navigation tool. It worked absolutely brilliantly - routing was flawless and accurate and because the Hero can multitask I was able to listen to audiobooks and make/receive phone calls, without any hiccups from Copilot.

The original plan was to use a Navman unit as the primary, with Copilot acting as backup, but the routing from Copilot gave me a route that was 3 hours shorter than Navman, and it proved to be eerily accurate on its estimate too!

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] w_yang:
Awesome, sounds like CoPilot worked like a charm for you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
I have to say, I have been disappointed by co-pilot on android. It drops GPS fix all the time, taking ages to get it back unless you restart the app, usually at a crucial moment! It also freezes quite a lot. The general interface is awkward, just nowhere near as good as navigon and tomtom where on WM, since both are supposed to be releasing android versions I am holding out for them!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] axellink:
Ahhhhhh, but have you upgraded your ROM? This alone fixed the GPS dropping issues. to be honest I find it better than my TomTom due to the fact that it tracks speed cameras now as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
All I can say is that I didn't experience a single issue in 1100miles/20 hours of driving. I only have complaint about Copilot and that is that I wish it used the "standard" Android on-screen keyboard rather than its own, as their own isn't very good.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tkm89:
Yeah, it's not QWERT. Very irritating.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] w_yang:
CoPilot gets its GPS information from the android framework. If you're losing GPS location, your device is at fault, not copilot! copilot is just quick to accept from the framework that the location is not longer acceptable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] roakes:
Anyone know what the update released today was for?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
Hmm sounds like I need to see what's wrong with my gps then give copilot another go. I am on the new Rom.

The idea of tom tom iq routes does still excite me though
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ewans:
Qwerty keyboard! Not sure what else.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sdc77:
I am a total convert from tomtom .. I really like CoPilot.. (except for the keyboard)..

I am not 100% happy with the routes it chooses by default but I do know that if I bother I can modify its route planning preferences.. so yeah .. great program and roll on a decent live trafiic addon..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] lpasq:
after an irritating start with copilot8, i can now report that (for me) the nav program works pretty damn good. i agree that the keyboard blows compared to what it can be. otherwise, i have solid gps connectivity that has locked into decent accuracy and updates speedily. also, the nav map screen as well as option screens do the trick. tomtom on winmo was more streamlined but i have come to appreciate the depth of features available though settings. the recent email from user support is encouraging too. it reads...

"Dear CoPilot Live Customer,

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] zippyioa:
Have to agree with the positive points above.

I was an old time Tomtom user (having used v3, v5 and v7 over the years) I reluctantly switched to Copilot through lack of other options on Android.

A few weeks of use (with several thousand miles travelled) and I have to say I am very impressed. I have to admit that I have had a few lockups, but no more than I used to get with TT7 on my Omnia. The 2 lockups I have experienced have happened after 2-3 hours of running, so could be caused by the phone overheating (or too many additional apps alonside) rather than Copilot freezing.

I ocassionally lose GPS, but this is VERY rare, and it quickly picks me up again and reroutes accordingly - again this used to happen with TT7 so its not fair to fault Copilot for this.

For the price (I paid around £50 for the whole of Europe!!!) I would happily say that Copilot is my favourite sat nav program to date.

Cheers

Zippyioa
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Dayzee:
Just a headsup for those who tried CoPilot Early and didn't like certain things, the latest update (398) has introduced a QWERTY keyboard similar to the HTC one but skinned for CoPilot. MUCH better and easier to use. :) and also the maps update tracking as posted above. Brilliant GPS solution...

Hi!

Just a question regarding the maps for CoPilot. When you download them to your memory-card, are they locked somehow? Can I backup the maps to a different location, so that I can save them in case of format of memory card etc?

I read that you have a one-time-only download of the maps...so it's kinda nice to know that I'm not stuck if I loose them :P

And how about updates for map? With all the roadwork going on, it might already be outdated by now?

And if anyone have experience with CoPilot in Norway, it would be nice to know :)

stuck on authorizing credit card

hi,

given all positive feedback, I decided to buy copilot. I am in belgium, so no paid apps in the market here. So I used market enabler... However, I am now stuck. The app is listed as purchased, but I fail to download it. It gets stuck saying "authorizing credit card". I am sure there is nothing wrong with my credit card tho. Any ideas?

[Touch HD General] matthoy:
something strange happened to my storage card on saturday afternoon.

trying to open a film in media player. got some mad error that the file wasn't compatible (damaged). attempted to delete the file - phone comes back and says - can't do this - it's a system file - which is plainly isn't.

anyway - i reboot the phone, it loads up. error message - the following file cannot be found : - spgm.exe cannot be found. - EDIT - this is related to the GPRS data APP. So no reall clue there.

tried connecting the sd card to my laptop but no card found. which is a bit of an arseache as sprite back up was on the card so i can't restore a previous back up as the app can't be seen by the phone.

the only way out of this then is to

a) buy a new micro SD card (bigger the better - what's the largest size the HD can tolerate ? )

b) re-install everything to the new card and hope i can find the activation codes for the lot.

Hello everyone!

I have run into problems with my hero since I flashed Drizzy's hero rom.

My sd card reader is no longer functioning and hence I am locked into drizzy's rom without any possibility of any kind of sd card use.

The sd card can't be read from cyanogens recovery even.

Is there any way to put a new rom on the phone without access to the sd card?

(I have root if that helps)

Thanks in advance,

Can I use the fastboot update command without an sd-card available to the phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
you can push (=upload) with adb (command is: adb push [local] [remote]) a file to the sdcard (just connect your phone via usb to computer)

example:

update.zip is here: C:\update.zip

then do:

adb push C:\update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

then it will upload the file (about 5-10 minutes).. ready to flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hampan:
Thank you for your reply , no I can't make adb connect to the phone.

Only fastboot works, and even if adb was working I couldn't possibly make it push the update to the sdcard since the phone can't see the sd card at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
and you are even not able to access the sdcard via cyanogen recovery AND adb shell??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hampan:
No exactly, the sd card can't be reached from ANYTHING , adb shell won't connect although fastboot does, and i can use fastboot commands.

I tried using the "fastboot update update.zip" with modacos rom but got the message:

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

I'm thinking maybe one can flash the device without putting anything on sd via "fastboot update" .. can anyone confirm?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keatonreckard:
simply restore your nandroid backup that im sure you did.

./fastboot flash system system.img

./fastboot flash userdata data.img

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

./fastboot reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hampan:
Thanks for your reply, yes I did make a nandroid backup and copied it to my pc :)

However, as it stands now I can only reach the phone from the computer with fastboot, usb is not recognized in windows and sd card is not functioning (even in cyanogen fastboot).

So, if I use my old stock nandroid backup and somehow the sd and usb is still not functioning, would there be a possibility that I would be stuck with the old slow rom forever?

Thanks for any help!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hampan:
Yup, now I tried .. doesn't work :(

C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (2560 KB)... OKAY

writing 'boot'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

I'm sh*t out of luck aren't I?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
maybe the remaining option is to send it to htc... :-( but that will cost money cuz you lost the garanty
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hampan:
Yup, that, sadly -Is my conclusion as well.

Anyway, the phone works as usual , just no SD and no updates.

Since I have no warranty I might just wait until a new android version is released for Hero.
