JTAG in Winnipeg

Did you use a goldcard when you tried the ROMs. That is essential for getting it to work with foreign roms.

In regards to the JTAG, I was going to Tip Top to look for parts here in the city. I have to see the intructions for building an adapter from scratch. The JTAG method was actually developed for Dreams first so it is guarenteed to work.

The problem is the slight risk involved, your going to obviously lose warranty, and also nobody wants to compensate the JTAGer. Just the parts can cost over $100 in some cases, the time is another matter, you have to take apart the phone, patiently solder the adapter on and reflash the phone.

i might have a stupid, but very interesting question....

if i flash t-mobile g1 with spl and radio from rogers dream....would i end up on rogers/att 3g or a BRICK??

thanks....for helping out a moderate newbie here.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanzerGeist:
You would NOT end up with a device supporting Rogers/AT&T 3G, that much is sure. There's a difference in hardware in regards to the radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
if you do it right (ie follow the directions that rogers users use to switch. 2x and 3x radios) you end up with a tmobile phone running an ebi1/magic 32a ported kernel/rom.

If you don't follow the rogers 2x -> 3x or 3x -> 2x radio install instructions. You find yourself with a deathspl type brick.

However as PanzerGeist said it will not change the frequency of the radio thus still only work with 2g on the rogers/at&t networks.

If you want 3g on the at&t or rogers network with the g1/dream you want the rogers phone.

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask but I need your help.

I was trying to root my htc dream following this guide

from wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Rooting

After I did all the steps, my dream won't go past the rogers screen anymore. I am still able to enter the hboot mode (camera+power button) and recovery mode(Home+power button)

I used the Cyanogen 4.04 ROM and my htc was on Android 1.5 and SPL 1.33.0009 previously.

When I enter the hboot mode, this is what I see:

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Can anyone help me how I should proceed from here?

Did I brick my phone?

Thank you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Please ignore any labeling on your phone.. since you have a 2x radio and danger SPL you are a T-Mobile (not rogers) phone atm :)

You just need a clean install get the ra recovery: http://rapidshare.com/files/357127614/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img

(or your choice of non 'R' recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669 ) and install via fastboot instructions on that thread.

Then install a rom: I recommend starting with step 3 on these instructions for now: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6450101&postcount=16

---

PS: if you have the 3x radio regardless of being a T-Mobile G1 or a Rogers Dream you are a "Rogers" phone.. this has much more to do with the radio version than the hardware in the phone... However 3G frequencies are determined by the hardware so don't expect radio switches to give you 3G on other networks.

Post 911 Update

Hello,

I have the 911 mandatory rogers update. Your method does not work for me. Do you have any suggestions on rooting with this stupid update :( ?

I think I might have to buy the nexus one. My dream is useless if it cannot be flashed with custom ROMs.

Thanks in advance!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Importspeed:
I have the same problem. Is there a solution? I most definitely want to root.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
your Dream has been turned into a 'Nightmare' by Rogers.

If you bought it post-update and still can, go return it (exchange with a cheap/free phone, you only need a SIM) and buy either an N1 or something nice from eBay (research rootability first). Otherwise, just bite the bullet and throw the Dream in the garbage because the has been crippled to perform at about 60% of its capacity by Rogers Wireless (read: Robbers Spineless).

That's what I ended up doing after wasting 3 months of my life arguing with the morons at Rogers (I even somehow ended up talking to their cable TV department in the process ... go figure!).

Hey All,

After reading this and million other posts....I am starting hate R0g3rs more and more ! !

Like me everyone else is looking for the answer. I updated my phone with the mandatory update thinking it will fix 911 problem and NOT realize it will make my phone UNROOTABLE.

So is there a way to root and install custom roms on rogers phone with mandatory update? (without any hardware mods.) :confused: :confused:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Code

su
rwsystem
cp /system/bin/user.conf /sdcard/user.conf

You can edit this file using "Text Edit" from the market. You'll need to look for linux swap and find the swappiness and edit the value to 80. Then..

su
rwsystem
cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

I have also used "Root Explorer" to copy and paste the file from the /sdcard to /system/bin. That's an option too :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
You can't look at it using Windows Notepad. Try using the "Text Edit" using the phone. It's quite simple :) If you want to use windows download Notepad++ that'll edit the file properly.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] EdTheLoon:
Hey, I'm new to the forum and new to mobile development and hope to become a part of this thriving community. I have a few questions about development in regards to WM 6.1 and the Touch Diamond 2 (known as the Topaz here).

My first question is to do with the first application I deployed as a CAB to my phone today. It runs but when I try to enter information on a textbox the button to bring up the keyboard isn't there. I'm guessing there must be some coding involved to bring this up? Could anyone help me on this? If it's not coding, then what can be done to fix this?

Edit: Thought I should also mention that because it is a simple application (not Hello World) that I decided to code it in Visual Basic. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition and the 3.5 .NET Framework and the WM 6 SDK and some WM 6.1 resources (Emulator images)

Just wondering if anyone else has had to call t-mobile about there TP2. When I did about not being able to connect to GPRS Edge or 3G the tech support said they have no known issues or support topics on the TP2 and told me to do a Hard Rest. How has everyones elses experience been.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I'm kind of surprised they didn't give you tips on the MyTouch3G since almost every time I've called them they mix the awesome TP2 up with that damn phone.

Anyway, I'm not really surprised that they couldn't help you. What's the problem though, maybe we can help? Give us the symptoms & all, be thorough buddy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] galaxys:
LOL, sounds very familiar! Better yet, They no nothing about Windows Mobile! That's why XDA is here to assist you ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] codykemper:
Well before the TP2 came out and I asked about a release date they gave me the info on the MyTouch. The problem was I couldn't send or recieve emails or get online it said there was a connection issue so the technician said all she could tell me what to do is a Hard rest which worked for a few days but it happened again today so I had to Go to Start/ Setting/ Connections tab/ Connections Icon. Then goto Manage existing Connections. Pick T-mobile Data and Edit. On the first screen do Nothing and goto Next ( the next page) Access Point Name delete what it is and type wap.voicestream.com then click Next then Finish then that helped me get a connection without having to do a HARD RESET thank GOD for our own knowledge and everyone at XDA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ribena1234:
i had a connection problem that was due to the TP2 automatically setting up the internet connection as "T-mobile Internet" when the email was trying to use the "Internet" connection.

Think i just deleted the "Internet" connection settings which were redundant.

Talked to T-Mo 3 times since picking up my tp2. I got my phone 4 weeks before release so they didn't have much on it. The first call went well though as it was an mms issue dealing more with starting mms with them than phone settings. That was the first week, they had no clue. The second was a week before official release when I noticed that they showed their 3g network active in my area and I wasn't picking it up. This guy knew the phone well and knew Wmo but there was still no support info there. Turned out the 3g network wasn't active yet though their info said it was. 3g went active 2 days later and tp2 had no issue. The last was a week ago as I was constantly getting a message from their visual voicemail system even though that's not available for this phone. This guy was great and loved the phone. Was picking one up himself supposedly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
That was a blanket insult, so it was for all reps in the US. There was a (marginal at best) improvement when I went from Sprint to T-mobile, but for the most part, most of them are still clueless...

I do rarely get surprised when I get one on the line that seems to know their ****... but yeah, very rare. Almost endangered maybe. :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Gman65:
I have had pretty good luck so far. made 4 calls for help while I had the wing, 3 of 4 calls had good techs. With TP2 I called about the hotfix with Tmo TP2 showing only 256mb instead of 288mb, Had all updates sent to my TP2 OTA. The tech even knew about XDA, I was impressed...lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I know about the issue, i just didn't know that Tmo had an update for it. How did you find out?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Gman65:
Sorry misunderstood you, I saw it on tmonews. So that was one of the things I checked when I went to the tmo store to see the phone. The demo phone showed 288mb so I figured all was good in the world...lol So when I got mine it showed the wrong amount. Called C/S and the tech checked and said my phone did not have a of the updates... Called the tech back from different phone and she sent the update to my phone OTA one reset and was good to go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] codykemper:
They have always been helpful with my Wing but it seems like the people they have now are retards or TEMPs they just don't know alot about the phone. A good way to screw with them in a playful way is tell them your giving them a 5 out of 5 for this call I guess its there ranking system and they always ask if I work for them and how I know that.

Is anybody else pissed that we paid $350 $400+ in CA with taxes and Verison is getting theres for $199
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greyfoxzero:
Heres the truth about Customer Care

As an employee who works for Tmobile Customer Care I get to see what its like for the retards who work there, they get promoted. Tmobiles customers supposedly want courtesy and concern and a "RIGHT FIT". The rep is to be quick(call is under 345 seconds), offer self helps(check minutes, balance, etc), perform a visual audit(tell you how you are doing over last 3 monthes on minutes), and show immediate concern(basically speak some kind of concern statement like " I know its important to be able to send email on a device like the TP2"). The care side of the company is being run by people who dont understand cell phones but rather they think they understand people. I think its bull**** especially when someone calls and needs help in fixing a problem and not to be baby talked or to be told some fake concern statement because the rep needs a good score. People just want the broken stuff fixed and they want to talk to someone who knows what their talking about. This is a major reason why the retards are running the show. The good reps who know whats going on get run off because they cant "perform" because their calls take longer simply because the customer knows when they found a good one on the line and gets everything they can because the next time they call it may not be such a good rep.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] codykemper:
Greyfoxzero I give you a 5 out of 5 for that post. 9-10 employees are nice and bubbley and I love talking to the girls with the Mid West accent. They do a good fast job with everything they do but with high end stuff its a little harder if theres a problem the Customer Service person tries to help you but says they've never seen the phone or touched the phone before so they send you to technical support.

Dude you hit the spot on that one.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] josemedina1983:

I've been recently impressed with the latest android builds, if I wasn't already in the past. Though, the biggest issue now I have is the resolution we boot in. We need to boot Android in a closer resolution to the current native Android phones in order for apps to look right. The draw backs are with a higher res are: Text is a little blurry(due to our native res), and the UI is a tad bit small for our fingers. A positive is 90% of the apps fit on the screen. Less force closes I presume.

So I decided to boot android in QVGA, added 240x320 and lcd.density=128 to my default.txt..I'm using xrom based off firmware 1.5. I was suprised how clear the text in linux was and the overall look is a lot more crisp and proper for our screen size. Everything seems to be formatted for the screen but most apps..the core of android looks good. This is where we need to post what apps you can find on the market that fit and look good in QVGA. Might be pointless until an official android QVGA phone comes out...but this is a start. Most apps I've tried actually launch..they just are not formatted for qvga or don't scale down.

Free Apps that work with QVGA:

-Market

-Dialer

-Calender

-Google Maps (not streetview)-I think we have to boot 480x320 for that.

-Browser

-keyboard

-IM

-terminal emulator

-Neocore

-Java App

-ACV(comic book reader)

-Alarm clock

-Task Panel X

-Google Talk

-Messaging

-MixZing Lite Media Player (large widget doesn't fit)

-Gallery( Partially works)

-Youtube app (some youtube videos work, but some don't)

-App manager

-file managers and browsers (astro and OI)

-smspopup

Apps not usable under QVGA..

-Gmail - Works when viewing whole emails, but email tabs dont fit

-Music - Works but graphics dont fit

-Weather Wiget

-ilock 2.0

- Most Sound boards and games I've tried..for obvious reasons ( the java app could hold us untill more qvga support)

Also.. apps that support scrolling usually will be usable on our screen.

Apps that dont support scrolling or side scrolling dont fit..

Besides apps.. I'm actually able to watch a qvga mp4 video without extreme lag.

Help me find more apps that work with qvga(for now) list em here if you found apps that work or don't work under android QVGA.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ajclai08:
I realize that..with 428x320 most of the apps looked good. It's just the overall look of android looks better i think in qvga..even the text in linux is readable. pop-up notifications in android fit the screen better, text in android is cleaner and bigger, smaller text is readable. I can now watch videos in qvga without getting heavey lag. 3D apps like neocore scale-down to the resolution. I even got a Youtube video to play for the 1st time.
