[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Zaim2:
After having a brief trial with the TP2 at voda yesterday, I actually found the keyboard less efficient for me, as with moderate speed my fingers would ocassionally press down multiple keys at once. I think the letterbox design of the original prevented this, as begin typing almost flawlessly with first use.

So previous Touch pro/Fuze owners whove switched:

1. Whats been your experience with Speed/accuracy typing. Better/Same/Worse?

2. Do you miss any of the removed keys in day to day use?

Ill have have another go today to see if it was just my muscle memory messing things up. However if the keyboard is a slight step down, Ill be reluctant to bare the cost of the upgrade just for the larger tilting screen (which I really liked).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
For me it´s more comfortable than the one on old TP

But even much better is this one:D:

Universal keyboard!

Not any keyboard of actual devices on the market can beat this one:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mr.Clark:
Agreed. The TP2 keyboard is easily the best keyboard since the Universal, but it doesn't beat it.

To be honest, if they put the screen and other hardware from the TP2 into a Universal chassis with that keyboard, they'd have an utterly awesome device. (3.5mm audio FTW!).

[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
If you can get to fastboot with power and back, then all is not lost. And most importantly it's not a 'brick'. A 'brick' is a device that won't turn on.

You can flash the recovery via fastboot (using this guide) then a new ROM (I suggest my custom ROM) but, er, you're obviously gonna need a USB cable! :D

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
I was already using your marvelous mod, though.

I only took the SPL file from the wrong directory (I have been playing also with Magic, aka G1).

The cable is a huge problem, now.

At the moment I'm using a mini-USB cable which is good for charging the battery, but has no effect on the communication side.

Can I put some file in the SD card from my PC in order to have it booted into?

I still have a couple of nandroid backups in the SD but have no idea whether this makes any difference.

Anyway, thanks not just for the hints. Your 1.5 (1.5.1 when I'll fix my problem) rocks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
A real miniUSB cable should work fine. Yours must be only wired for charging. Go and buy one. :D

There's no other way to do it unless power+home gets you into recovery (which it sounds like it should?)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
The mini-USB comes from my USB 2.5" HD.

It works with cameras and other mini-USB devices for full dvice access.

But it does not work with the Hero.

The original cable looked different from this one because of the asymmetric shape (and possibly an extra pin or two).

The Hero cable looks like it's proprietary design and buying one seems quite difficult. Would any HTC USB cable work?

Now I'm not in the Netherlands anymore and here the HTC stuff looks quite uncommon to have a cable lent.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
I never use my HTC cable, I use a standard mini USB cable.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
OK.

I've bought a brand new mini-USB cable. It works with my Nokia phone, my digital camera dnd also my USB disk.

1. I've donwloaded the file from the guide MoDaCo referred previously.

2. I've unpacked the ZIP file, opened the CMD session, CDed to the directory containing the adb.exe file

3. I've booted the phone to the FASTBOOT (VOLUMEDOWN+POWER)

4. I've connected the phone to the cable.

5. The HERO screen says now "FASTBOOT USB"

6. I've run the command "adb shell reboot bootloader"

7. I get "error: device not found".

What's next?

P.S.

Steps 3 and 4 are not mentioned in the guide, though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] packetlss:
You can't use adb shell from the fastboot screen, you need to boot a recovery image using the "fastboot boot <filename>" command.

Just of curiousity. What is the HBOOT version displayed on your fastboot screen?

Could you type all the text it displays?

I might be able to help you out.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
Try following the guide linked above.

You can't do ADB until you've done the 'fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img'.

Seriously... how hard can it be to read thru a handful of steps!

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
You are right! It's hard unless you already know how to.

I quote:

- download this file and extract it to your PC or mac

- open a command prompt to the directory containing the extracted files

- type the following commands (prefix each command with ./ if you're on a mac)

So far it's trivial ...

adb shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader)

fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push cm-hero-recovery.img /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img

That could also be trivial if:

1. I knew about the driver installation (quite later in the thread)

2. I knew in which initial status the phone is to be

Of course, a bit at a time I find everything.

Maybe re-editing the original post to include all the bits in one single place would both boost the success rate of n00bs like me (really) and lower the amount of stupid questions (really) like mine.

Anyway, I need to thank you very much!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
Hmm, bad news, ust spoken to an extremely knowledgeable friend of mine, and he says your device is knackered.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] packetlss:
I'm impressed the SPL actually booted on a Hero.

It's is a "real" Hero you have right? aka T-Mobile G2 Touch?

Fastboot can be used when you are in HBOOT, with FASTBOOT USB being displayed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
So, if this doesn't work, you're screwed.

- download this and extract the rom.zip

- copy the .zip to your SD card and name it HEROIMG.zip

- turn on your device with volume down+ power

If it doesn't start flashing, buy a new Hero.

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
Good to know. I have no idea about this specific device!

And the help is quite fragmented among a large number of threads.

MICROP-010e

Apr 20 2009,15:30:43

I hope so.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] packetlss:
Try doing what modaco suggested and see where that ends up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
I hope to fix mine. :-)

Anyway, is there any comprehensive guide about the booting (not rooting) process with the software stack and the "cheat codes"?

I don't think I'm really a n00b, but the fragmentation of information is quite large for these marveloous Android phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
The HEROIMG.zip has been flashed, I presume, as a vertical blue bar appeared on top right screen.

After fre minuted the process ended ... with no news.

At the reboot everything is again as before.

Home+Power won't make the CyanogenMode+JF menu pop up.

The simple boot itself won't make my Hero botting in any system.

Only a big "G2 Touch T-Mobile" on the black background.

Now what?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
That HEROIMG.zip contained a hboot. When you boot to bootloader is still the same?

You say 'fastboot boot recovery.img' (as per my instructions) didn't work?

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
'fastboot boot recovery.img' works.

It's the subsequent step that doesn't. I cannot mount /sdcard (error: device not found)!

And even recovering a previous nandroid backup won't help.

What I understand there's something in between the fastboot and the actual image (the SPL?) that is missing doe to my original error.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] paulobrien:
Does the bootloader still show the old version?

P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
Yes, it's still the same 1.33.2005!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
Yes, it is: 1.33.2005.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
What I don't understand is how can it be that the adb shell commands don't work (and never did).

Can I flash the MoDaCo ROM image as a HEROIMG.zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] enlightener:
you said that you can boot a recovery via fastboot^ ...:

download the attached spl(1.76.0004) and put it (it's a signed update) on the sdcard

download(if you don't have it) the patched recovery

fastboot boot cm-recovery-hero.img

Use the "Apply zip from sd" option to select zip

reboot

(as i remember after reboot it still flashes spl, so wait till the hero screen appears. btw i don't think it will boot android without flashing another rom)

reboot in fastboot, if the spl is 1.76.0004 you can continue installing any rom :D

ps. adb finds the device only if you are in the modded recovery or have booted android and have usb debugging active (and you have installed the drivers, of course :D )!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
IT WORKED! I'll update the main post in order to document the process!

Thanks everyone, both Italians and not! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pocasolta:
hello Uqbar,

I have the same problem you had and I followed all your steps, but I'm getting an error when trying to flash the SPL file... I don't know what that file is, but I guess maybe the difference is because I am with an Orange hero and you with T-Mobile... is it possible?

which SPL should I use?

thanks! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Uqbar:
I don't think there can be a real difference between Orange o T-Mobile.

Anyway, I used the SPL from post no.24 (a couple earlier than yours).

Of course the procedure is not as easy as using the modified recover image, though. I took about 1 hour for me to fix the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pocasolta:
hi there again ,' )

I tried all the steps again and now I didn't get any error with the SPL file.

everything went fine: I flashed the SPL with the recovery and then the Modaco 2.8 ROM. I also did a wipe data from the custom recovery before first load.

But when I plug the USB cable to any of my two computers, it only goes into charging mode.... no notification to mount SD card, and no popup in my computer.

My computer only recognizes the phone (it's detected as 'My Htc') when in fastboot (powering up with BACK and POWER buttons)

thanks again for all the help... I'll give it a go a couple more days and if I get no result I'm afraid I'll have to send it back to the manufacturer.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] yothanan:
I think I am in a deeper trouble. I managed to download and rename the file to HEROIMG.zip and put it on my memory card. I boot up while holding vol-down but nothing happened. I tried power+vol-up it vibrated 3 times as the green light turned on but its not doing anything (at least not visible) the green led is still on as I am typing....

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eranyanay:
Im having issues with SPL.

Originally, the device came with 1.93, so when I installed I installed hard spl 1.93 olinex.

Now I tried to do sim unlock and the guide asked me to go hspl 1.24, I tried to skip that step and go staright and install the patched radio, but it failed to update - error 226 with RUU.

I thought maybe its related to the hspl, so i downgraded to 1.24 but still I have that issue that I get error 226.

after i downgraded i still see in the bootloader mode spl 1.93 olinex.

I thought maybe to stock spl and then from there to hspl 1.24 and from there to patched radio maybe it will succed.

But even in stock spl it appears spl 1.93 olinex.

Also, besides that, i cant install the patched radio.

I appraciate your help..

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SKiLLa XP:
I've noticed it the other way around, I first HardSPLed it with v1.40 and some later I flashed v1.93 (I think at least twice), without any error, but the flashscreen still says v1.40. Never had any problem though ...

Can't help you with the SIM unlocking, haven't tried it yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eranyanay:
with the spl im mostly concerned because one day i might need warrenty and if it says 1.93.olinex..someone will probably suspect..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gsmdb:
To Sim-unlock it doesn't matter you have HardSPL(Olinex) 1.40 or 1.93. The most important is your radio, you mut have the Diamond_Radio_1.00.25 intermediate to accept the SIM-unlock proces. Look at the thread .. unlock (sticky) and get the file - Radio downgrade - then you go. The error 226 is related to the radio version !!!

I have the Neonode N2 phone -- it's a great little phone :). I'm trying to install a Java Midlet Manager on it, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I went through Werner Ruotsalainen's article located below but still did not find any definitive answers:

http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blogs/3/the_java_midlet_bible

The N2 is unique phone -- it's got an IR-based touchscreen, but has a resolution of a smartphone (176x220). The only thing I could find on the Internet about installing Java on the N2 is this old article in German:

http://atomlabor.blogspot.com/2008/05/java-on-neonode-n2.html

However, I am not sure how the midlet manager mentioned in this article (weme-midp20-wm2003-arm_22.CAB) compares to the other ones out there. Mr. Ruotsalainen's bible seems to imply that only Coretek Delta Java Manager supports 176x220 resolution, but I'm not certain.

If anyone has experience installing a midlet manager on the N2, could you please tell me exactly which CAB you installed?

Thanks,

Tom

you´ve installed the j2me vm first (my cabs)

after that you can send your *.jar file to your N2 -via usb or bt.

than you open your neonode-file-browser and go to the jar you like.

now you install the jar in the VM and open it by pressing start.
