CONNECTION DROPS BUT............ it should be installing new drivers.

When i flash my phone on windows 7 it loses connection when it enter bootloader just like you.

And by the time the drivers for the qualcomm chip on my htc touch vogue gets installed (this is the recognized driver when your phone is in bootloader)

the RUU rom updater/installer times out.

After it times out for me i make sure that the driver for the qualcomm chip (the driver that is seen by windows when your phone is in bootloader) is installed, i run the updater again.

Now it should run through smoothly again.

Alternate method:

Flash by ur sd card.

or

Try a different computer.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] remygreen:
start it up on serial mode then plug it in to USB, go to device manager make it search for new devices. Driver should start loading and start RRU, if all else fails use the SD CARD for The Flash
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Traumatique:
Alright, well now I guess a second question looms. I was going to take everyones advice and attempt to flash with the MicroSD Card, but now I'm having problems with that one as well.

Those are the directions on the FAQ. I have the original 512mb card, formated to FAT32. I went into the Unlocker RAR, found the Voguimg2.nbh, renamed it to VOGUIMG.NBH as instructed in the FAQ. Placed the file on the freshly formatted MicroSD Card, put it in the phone and went to bootloader mode and... nothing.

I attempted putting the card in, then going to Bootloader. I tried going to bootloader, then putting in the card. I tried putting it from USB to Serial and vica versa. Tried hitting all the buttons. Nothing happens, it just hangs out on the 3 Color Screen.

Am I missing something, or am I just cursed to not flash my phone more then once? Heh. Thanks again for all the help.

[EDIT] For clarification, since I don't know if I have to unlock before every flash or not, I'm just attempting to unlock it again and hense only using the Unlocker ROM. It was previously flashed for the 6.1 update, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try the unlocker again so that's been the ROM I've been trying to run currently.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slow88lx:
As explained in Cody's FAQ, once your phone is unlocked to flash, it stays unlocked. The only thing you MIGHT want to do other than just flash the new ROM is to flash a stock ROM, then the new ROM.

Go ahead and try putting the VOGUIMG.NBH from the ROM on the card and see what happens. From what I remember, you should have the card in the phone then put it into boot mode. I believe that was what I did for my first flash ever.

What method did you follow when you flashed to 6.1? Has anything changed about what you are doing now?

Also it might be important to know that when flashing via USB on a 64-bit machine the RUU program will give you an error about not working on a 64-bit computer. Just ignore the error and click ok, it will pop up a few times just keep hitting ok and it will work. That error pops up even though it's false.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Barogi44:
when i first tried flashing a custom rom, i extracted the downloaded file and when i clicked on the ruu i had the same error... i then tried just running the downloaded file without extraction and it worked fine.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] JFive1182:
same thing happend 2 me Just run the RUU do not extract files!!!!!!!((-;
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Traumatique:
Barogi44, JFive1182 -- You are both princes among men.

The Unlocker will only run on the first auto-extract of the file. You cannot run the batch from the extraction folder afterwards, eventhough all it does is auto-extract the contents and then auto-run the batch file.

Out of curiosity... and being infuriated I went and tested this again just to see. On 3 other computers the same thing happened. I have no clue why it would bug out that way... or if it was written that way that's a pretty bad design.

In any case, someone should put that in the FAQ. You have to let it start the process from the auto-decompressing RAR, you can't start it again after the fact by running the batch file from the extracted folder. If it said this anywhere, the 3 guides I read never mentioned that (nore the unlocker's thread at ppcgeeks) so I didn't catch it.

Thanks again for everyone's input, and obviously JFive1182 & Barogi44 for actually letting me know how to make it work!

I have Installed Android cupcake on neo freerunner.... Its an amazing device, but there are no google apps like gmail, google talk, maps, etc present.

I would like to request if any of the developers could post a binary from the firmware's you mod!! It would be of great help. any further information needed please ask.

[P3600 General] sidxda:
Hello everyone,

I bought a Dopod D810 off ebay a couple of weeks ago and it seems to have a couple of problem.

The problems are as followed:

1) The phone speaker (the one which you use while making and recieving calls - not the main one) is really really hard to hear, i always have to use the speaker phone (loudspeaker) to hear what people are saying :( .. Is this a hardware problem ( i think it is because i have flashed the phone with many roms and have also upgraded the radio version)

2) The phone doesn't vibrate. Even when I put it on vibration mode, it doesn't vibrate. Is it a problem or is it just a dopod thingy (no vibration) ?

Please help

Thanks
[P3600 General] part_D:
Dear sidxda,

1. I think the internal speaker phone of D810 is normally hard to hear (especially in accepting a phone call when the bar of radio signal is low). My dopod is also deaf as yours. But it is totally different when I use headphone-set, the voice is very clearly. Because of it I look for a registry tweak that automatically activates the loudspeaker when receiving a call. My thread in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4654555

2. It should vibrate. If your phone device does not vibrate, perhaps the motor (vibrator) is malfunction and needs a replacement.

Best regards,

Sprint Hero

Firmware 1.5 (stock)

I have searched for it, and I see no answers....

Problem: I have a contact in "people" named "john smith". "john smith" has a number (or two, or three) entered in for his contact already, let say his "mobile" number. "john smith" calls me and I say "hey where are you calling from?" he tells me he is calling from home. So now I would like to add that number to his contact. I cannot find a way to do this.

I have tried going into "people" then finding the contact, and going into "edit", I've tried pushing and holding everywhere to hopefully find a menu, i've looked in the "menu" and the "add" button looks promising but no go.

The manual says:

1. Display the entry in People

2. Scroll down the screen and tap: ADD>PHONE

3. Tap the type of phone number you want to add (for example, HOME or WORK)

4. Enter the phone number and tap: SAVE

...This sounds great, but when you click on MENU and then click on ADD it asks you to "select a default action".

I know I could add this in my contact entry for "john smith" through gmail, but you would think that I could also do this through my phone, it woould make more sense.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueHawk:
If you go in via the people widget, and you select a particular contact - one way is to select the three parallel bar button at the bottom of the widget - you can then select the person from the list after this (it defaults to the list). Selecting the contact should show the details for that person. From there, if you hit physical "menu" button, it will present options including "edit". Click on the "edit" option on screen, scroll to the bottom and click on "Add details".

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greanhouse:
My first post but I've been lurking for years. Pretty good with search, etc.

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I've been working on this for 12 hours!

I updated to Cyanogen 4.1.999

I successfully installed the new radio and fastboot confirms 2.22.19.261

Here's where I made the mistake in the following directions:

I have CMRecovery Image 1.4

-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

-Then DL CyanogenMod-4.1.99

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/expe....99-signed.zip

-put them both on your SD card

-Boot up into CM recovery image 1.4 by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.

-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)

(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)

I mistakenly rebooted normally instead of applying the update in the next step. This is when the black screen began.

-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod-4.1.99 (update-cm-4.1.99-signed.zip)

-Then power on the phone

I am stuck at the black screen of death.

I can fastboot and I've fastbooted the pimp recovery and still can't access recovery. Just get the triangle.

So, during update after new radio I rebooted normally instead of updating with the final build update got a black screen and have no recovery.

I've tried fastboot flash recovery and fastboot update.

fastboot flash recovery is succesful

fastboot update or fastboot flashall give me the "archive does not contain android-info.text and android-product.text" errors.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theomajigga:
if you have access to fastboot, do a fastboot flash everything... from radio, system, and what not (forgetting something)

if that doesn't work... do a fastboot of the radio and boot and system, do everything.

basically do a fastboot of the normal dev 1.6 system....

its on htc's website.... gl dude
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greanhouse:
any ideas on the commands to flash them as flashall? HTC's site has them as separate files so I can only flash the "recovery" file.

I'm sorry to be somewhat of a noob with the actual codes. Could you be more specifc with which files to flash with which commands?

TIA!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greanhouse:
Using the HTC website 1.6 "recovery" with fastboot update I get the following:

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

I can't figure out how to flash the radio or system files in any other way than update in fastboot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
Did you erase the recovery? When this happened to me, just installing CM 1.4 from fastboot did not work, I had to erase the recovery then install. Hope this helps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohnoezmahfone:
Also remove your SD card while booting, as prior stuff in your ext3 partition can cause black screens during boot. If that fixes it, you need to reformat your ext3.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundwire:
The triangle you see is the standard recovery, to access it you need to do alt-L?or alt-x cant remember. To fix you need to flash cm-recovery to do this reboot into the boot loader (power + camera) plug in usb and hit the back button you should see "fastboot" then run

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img

EDIT: NEVERMIND....figured it out
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] matz:
This how-to shows you, how to get back the original android keyboard (see image)

0. To do the next the steps you need to install Android SDK and connect your phone via usb. (maybe you have to enable usb-debugging)

1. Download "LatinIME.zip" and extract it. You should get two files: LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex.

2. Open a console on your pc (cmd in Windows) and type:

adb remount

3. If you want, you can remove the current keyboard. (Maybe there is not enough storage left on you device, then you have to delete the old keyboard)

In my case it was HTC_IME. Type to the console:

adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.odex

4. Now you can copy the old android keyboard to your phone. cd to the dir where LatinIME is stored and type to the console:

adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb shell sync
adb shell reboot

5. Have fun :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
nice guide. also you dont need to remove the old one. you can have multiple keyboards on the device. after you install the new one, you can select which one you want to use by long-pressing a text field and selecting the desired keyboard.

also be careful about pushing odex files from another rom, it can cause you problems. you dont really need the odex files you can just install the .apk and that's fine.

to clarify the commands you listed should be done through cmd prompt on your pc, those are not "console" commands you enter through recovery console...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] matz:
I had to delete the current because there was no storage left!

fixed.

You hae to find out wich keyboard is installed currently. It should be a file with "ime" in its name. Try

I'm having the same problem... I'm using the RAv1.6.2 - DONUT ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Super Jamie:
Works for me with Amon_RA v1.6.2

I got LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex from the HTC Donut image. Uncompress the system.img with unyaffs, LatinIME files are in /system/app

Amon_RA's packed the phone pretty full so you'll have to delete some things. Do an adb shell df to see how much space you have, LatinIME.apk is 4012357 bytes and LatinIME.odex is 80624 bytes, so you need that much space. I removed QuickOffice_blah.apk and Mail.apk (Work Mail) because I have no use for them, you will have to delete some different apps if you use those.

Then I did adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app and adb push LatinIME.odex /system/app, then the sync and reboot.

Long press in any text field to choose the Input Method, Android Keyboard appears there next to Touch Input and Better Keyboard (which I also have installed from Market).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orangealtezza:
Works!

Thanks Jamie. I tried it again and got it working with RA-v1.6.2. Thanks for the tip to remove other applications that are unused. How come I didn't think of that? haha. :)

Heya I have a problem.. I actually already have a latinIME.apk on my /system/app dir but its for the Multi-Touch Keyboard. It came installed like that on my phone... If I want to put on the android KB do I just rename the latinIME for the Multitouch then push this latinIME to the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] matz:
Maybe yes ;-)

You should make a copy of the original file. If it doesn't work, you can copy it back. If you only change the keyboard apk, the phone coldn't get bricked (imho).

I have T-Mobile USA. Can I use the GPS without a data plan?
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
What is meant by data plan ?
[Touch 3G General] DanRo80:
Internet Plan

I only have a plan with minutes and no internet.
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
Some GPS applications, e.g. Garmin mobile and many freeware GPS apps, do not require internet connection. Google maps mobile requires internet connection, of course.
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
And you are not able to use QuickGPS for faster detection of the satellites.

But I do not know if this is necessary/useful for these programs.
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
True that QuickGPS is supposed to assist in faster GPS detection. However I am not sure how much faster, I mean by how many seconds faster (no empirical measure). From my experience, satellite detection without QuickGPS updated for a few weeks, is still quite fast, a few ten seconds - but still dependant on the sky/cloud condition. I am talking from where I live - equatorial. I am not sure about north of the tropics (Europe and N.America)
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
A definite no!

You do not need a data plan to use the GPS! Depending on which cellular company you go with, some of their people will try to tell or sell you on a plan. You do not need it.

For WM 5 and above, it is recommended that you let WM manage your GPS for all programs. To do this go to the System Settings tab and select the External GPS app (why it is called external is beyond me). Then move through the tabs to configure the GPS. Ideally, use a port that is not in use. I typically use 9. Then click the box to have WM manage the GPS for all programs that need data from it.

Now, you just need software and there is plenty of free programs out. One utility I recommend is GPS Toggle (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-toggle.html ). This small Today screen plug-in will turn on the Jade GPS to quote warm it up for you. If the GPS has not been turned on in awhile, it can take up to 10 minutes or longer to have it lock onto four satellites which is what is considered necessary for satellite navigation (satnav). During this period, the satellites will use your time signal as one of the primary pieces of info to sync your GPS. Then based upon the positon of the satellites, they will identify your location. Once they have downloaded enough data to the GPS and are in sync, your GPS will become satnav capable.

Another app you might to look at is GPSToday (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gpstoday-v0-9.html#). I recommend setting this app as separate one and not a Today screen plug-in but that is your choice after reviewing what it is capable of doing. I love that it can geotag pictures taken by Jade which basically takes quote dumb or pictures that do not have typical computer info written into them. You can even use it to mark where you parked your car (at a stadium or large event), store the coordinates and have it navigate back to your car. Another good use is for geocaching.

These are just two small apps. What you really want now is iGO8 (highly recommended), TomTom or another commercial software program.
