Flash Custom BootSplash

Yes. Go search the Dream (G1) Forum for instructions on how to flash boot splash.

I recommend using Google to search xda-devs, if you aren't aware of how to search a single site using google... put your search terms in the box, then type "site:xdaforums.com" (without quotes) at the end. All of the results should be from xda-devs.

heck, here's one of the results...and it even appears to be relevant.

Here's what I see instead of any Operator Logo when I boot my Rogers Dream:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thegreatN:
I am running 4.1.999 and was planning on upgrading to 4.1.9999 and the new kernel.

I am not using apps2sd as I have not formatted my sd card with ext3.

If I were to follow the above instructions to upgrade, would I lose all my configuration and data? (everything not on my sd card). ie: applications, sms messages, etc?

If so, is there a way I can upgrade without losing this information?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] beatryder:
Cool, so it is possible, nice...

Now, has anyone tried the stuff in the first post successfully?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I believe that the Recovery Flasher exploits a flaw in the kernel that allows root access. CYanogen fixed the exploit in his kernels (as have google and other devs). I think this is the issue, it doesnt work for me either.

Without adb i believe you are out of luck. Read the sapphire hacking wiki and get the sdk set up, you'll be better off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
yeah, the security flaw that allowed recovery flasher is fixed.

just use the adb method. its really straight forward.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
Using the upgrade method, no, you will not lose your any of your data - regardless of whether you use apps2sd or not.

Of course always make a nandroid backup first just in case things go wrong ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I still have the 1.2.2 version working fine, but just wanted to get the 1.2.3 running. I'll check the wiki though. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thegreatN:
Thanks radix for clearing that up. Thanks also for providing this port!

I will still be sure to do the nandriod backup anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I've always wondered what the nandroid backup is and is for. Can you elaborate a bit PLEASE.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
ARE YOU SERIOUS??????

Did you miss the word backup in "Nandroid Backup", do you know what a backup is??

Did you try googling "Nandroid Backup"????? You might get something!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] beatryder:
Okay, First off. Take a mello pill. There is no need to be a ****, all you're gonna do is frustrate someone who is going to make a mistake and brick their phone.

Second. A Nandroid backup, will not help you if you're bricked. Ask me how I know.

Third, I followed the guide in the first post, and it worked great!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
I really really wish I still had my original nandroid backup. My G-Sensor is completely screwed and the only working calibration file I think I ever had was on my original setup. :( Backups are always a good idea, especially considering how simple it is to do, and how little space they'd occupy on your HD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I have always followed everything in the first post. I have never seen or heard to nandroid backup.

When I flash this is what I do...

1. Use Backup For Root to back up everything.

2. Boot to recovery

3. Wipe handheld

4. Wipe SD

5. Partition SD

6. Flash new rom

7. Boot phone

What else should I do?

Why would I "NEED" to nandroid backup?

Thanks everyone! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
Nandroid backup/restore is provided on all custom recovery roms as an option.

It essentially takes a backup of every partition on your phone and stores it in the Nandroid folder on your sdcard. This includes: boot, cache, data, misc, recovery and system partitions.

You can take as many backups as you want, but the nandroid restore will only restore the last one. You can use the command line version of nandroid to restore a specific backup if you want.

Nandroid Backup/Restore is an excellent way of saving your current state while you experiment with a new rom (like hero, pulse, blur, etc) and if it doesn't meet your expectations you can roll back to a known good state.

It's not going to save you if you truly screw up and destroy your SPL or radio or something like that - but it's the first thing you should do before any new rom install or upgrade if you want to play it safe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
Okay... Backup for Root is nice.. but:

a) it requires root access

b) it doesn't work with every rom

c) it's not perfect because it's installing INSIDE the system itself that you're trying to restore.

Nandroid works outside the system as it's in your recovery rom.

If your system doesn't boot - Backup for Root is NOT going to help you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Ideally you use both (or MyBackup Pro, which I prefer). Nandroid is good for when you really screw something up...mybackup pro is good for just bringing back apps and settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Perfect! Makes sense & crystal clear. Well done in your explanation. I've read the board and the details about it, but since I'm not a developer and programmer A LOT of the things mentioned are Greek to me.

Thank you for taking the time to very clearly provide me exactly what I needed.

The only question I have now is when I make the nandroid backup do I do this BEFORE or AFTER a handheld & sd card wipe when I'm preparing to flash a new rom?

Thanks again! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
So Nandroid simply takes a picture of everything on your phone currently and saves it onto the SD card? That's my current understanding.

1. Let's say I flash a couple roms and get one that really laggy and not to my liking. I can then restore Nandroid and it will have my good working rom & everything on it?

2. I use Backup For Root(works for apps wonderfully) & MyBackup Pro(which doesn't do everything I want every time regarding restoring the apps, but does for settings).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
You got it. Nandroid is like a snapshot of your "partitions" like data.img, system.img, boot.img, etc. When you restore it completely reflashes the phone back. It is a great tool.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 4bia:
just now flash cyanogen already...

but reboot until now 15min++

on start screen so long

its means i flashing fail?

or i must wait more?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] beatryder:
Mine only took 10mins, but if you flashed it wrong, then you could have a shiney new brick...

I've bricked two now.... Tried flashing Engineering SPL from another wiki... wont do that again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 4bia:
didnt brick...

just stuck at the start screen only

my htc magic is 32a,sapphire
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Beast11:
Alright, so im itching to tryout the Blur ROM. Last night I wanted to try out the preliminary rom Drizzy had up on my 32A Magic. I figured since the rom is based off of cupcake a version of the cupcake kernel should make it work.

I then tried the rom with Cyan's 4.04 kernel. No luck. After this i tried watever kernels i had on my SD card at the time. So that included myhero, evilhero (these two were really just for kicks), hofo kernel. None of these worked.

So I wanted to know if you guys know which kernel will make it work if there are any existing ones which will make it work... And if not could someone make a kernel :D? Thanks for the input
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea, same problem here. Cant wait till someone ports it or points to a working 32a kernel.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eechyd:
Hi all! Can anybody tell me how to view hidden files on my X1i?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpijper:
You can use Resco File Explorer to do that.

And a quick google for "windows mobile view hidden files" gave this:

View Hidden Files

When you browse a folder on your Windows Mobile device, it does not show hidden files; however, you can use the following method to view them. Go to the folder in which you want to view the hidden files using the File Explorer application (File Manager on some Smartphones). Move the scroll bar down till you reach the last file in the list that is being displayed on the screen. Tap and hold on the empty space between the last file name and the bottom taskbar of the Today screen. (Smartphones: Select Menu >Options.) A new menu will appear on the screen. Go to the Show All Files option (pre-WM5 Pocket PCs: View All Files). (Smartphones: Deselect Hide Hidden Files.) You will now be able to see all the hidden files on your device. This setting will be retained by your device until you change it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] AaronJoYee:
Hi guys,

Anybody has any news about the ROM upgrade for our topaz? It's 6th of October here in Malaysia but so far, no news. I heard Windows Marketplace is opened! I have checked the Taiwan website but yet still no news. I know Orange UK has announced that their ROM will be available only on the 12th.

Anyone has any other news?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oizumi:
I am looking for that answer too.

I sent an email to HTC asking about it. So far no news.

It is 15.57 here in Sydney.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
I'm waiting aswell. I want to try out a official release from HTC. But I'll probably stick with the coocked roms seeing that a lot of the wm 6.5 phones here in the US are shipping with the old touchflo3D.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ede559:
Can I ask a question guys....if I install the official ROM that comes out later do I still have to HardSPL it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
If you are still on the stock ROM and have not HSPL's then technically no you do not have to HSPL. As long as HTC posts an update for your phones original country of origin on the tech area of that countries site than you're good to go.

If the serial does not work you might consider HSPLing your phone and using the official rom when someone uploads it in the ROM development section. Doing a HSPL is quick and painless. Cooked Roms rule.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oizumi:
Ok this is what I got.

"Thank you for contacting HTC Service Support. Regarding your inquiry, much as we would like to provide you with the information unfortunately we still do not have the details yet. No information has been provided to when will the WM 6.5 upgrade for HTC Touch Diamond 2 be available. However if there will be any, it will be for free and can be downloaded form the HTC site. For now we really can’t tell since before upgrade is being provided, our technical department has to do series of tests and research first. Also any upgrades for a particular handset model are based on the demand of the Telecom Provider."

So, I guess we have to wait.

The upgrade for German Vodafone devices are on the support page of HTC Germany if anyone is looking for it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tsungha:
Can't be like that

HTC have had months to get this into place so I find it hard to believe that we will not get the updates today. If that is the case then HTC have done very poorly in that case. Whilst other phones are coming with 6.5 I cannot see why the Diamond 2 shouldn't have an update on the day of release. :confused:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tsungha:
Just had an email from HTC and I quote... "we are awaiting confirmation from the software manufacture if the handset will receive an approved license or not"... I have a question.. why did HTC promise a wm6.5 upgrade if they are unsure if they can do it?!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oizumi:
I don't realy know if that is the problem. If you go to the Hong Kong windows phone webpage you will see that microsoft itself is promoting the upgrade.

So I can't see any reason why of why it is not out yet. Maybe they want to release it toguther with the American market. It is very early in the morning there yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jack_Surfer:
I just checked on the Polish HTC site, but it looks like they do not know about that fact, that the upgrade should be today.:mad:

What is even better the customer service line number in Poland - when dialled - tells me "There is no such number!!" :mad::mad::mad:

This, I think, is outrageous & the HTC headquarters' guys should think with whom they cooperate in my beautiful country !!!!!!!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jack_Surfer:
Upgrade or localisation ??

There is not even TD2 showed on this site & they redirect to HTC site.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tsungha:
That is what annoys me.. that we paid for our phones.. yet they have NO clue about what is going on with Windows Mobile 6.5! I should really buy out that firm and organise them properly!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jjdevos:
Probably they want to change the TD2 and TP2 pix on the website to match Sense 2.1 (or 2.5????).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
They are changing something that takes time. Firts time I've seen this site down. It wasn't even down for other ROM updates so I doubt it is for the TD2 6.5 Update. What would be awesome is if they announce the HTC Dragon, had the TD2 ROM Update and well it was actually manila 2.5. not 2.1.5
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] illi:
It's been down for more than 2 hours now.:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ahtoj:
Its pure psychology, if the site is most visited by owners of htc phones, after reading: "we are working on something for YOU" one might assume its the rom or any other sweet update. But still, there should be prelive servers to test the licensing or product detection or any other features, the site is down, interesting. Never seen it before. Maybe they are moving into a bunker.

TD2 mentioned on Microsoft site

hi,

I was wondering if TD2 was available for wm6.5 upgrade. I found a good news in the miscrosoft website. Touch diamond 2 was listed on to-be updated phones.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx

However, I could not find anything on HTC website. Do anyone knows when they will provide upgrade for TD2? But, they have already uploaded upgrade for Touch pro 2 and Snap.

You can't know for sure that it'll be sluggish. It should at least be bug free (lol). Previous official ROMs have been sluggish, but i've got a feeling microsoft is trying to up their mobile game. holding thumbs...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] etenmark:
Maybe they're adding 6.5.1 lol.. perhaps not hehe.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] AaronJoYee:
Just go and cook a Windows 6.5.1 rom. The upgrade HTC is giving is no different compared to earlier roms. Just the start menu and a little bigger keys.

They will not give us the LEO/HD2 interface because if they do, the HD2' sales will not be good so no point waiting for the ROM upgrade in my opinion.

By the way, Shadowline's ROM is great.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PMoto:
Well. You know, there are some problems related to those who don't want their phones in WWE. I'm Portuguese and I don't have cooked ROM in Portuguese.

That's why I haven't install a cooked ROM before.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
