[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatinatorX:
Bought a new in box white Rogers HTC Dream, from someone who had an extra. Having owned a Dash, TyTN and Diamond before, I knew I wanted to flash a custom ROM, but was not familiar with Android.

I searched Google and came across this: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos/howto_hack_your_android_g1_phone?page=0,0

This turned out to be a really bad guide for me. I found out Rogers phones require special attention AFTER I bricked my phone, and now I'm stuck on the Rogers logo with no access to Fastboot or Recovery Mode. In the linked guide, I flashed the recovery image and booted into Recovery Mode. I then selected the update.zip radio file I downloaded and flashed it, finishing the process with Home+Back to reboot my device, winding up where I am now. Is there any hope for me, since it's just a radio and not an SPL? If not, do you think rogers might do something? I still have the retail box and everything, it just wasn't purchased on my account.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndd333:
eeesh...Flashing the wrong radio is NEVER good...There might...might be a chance to fix. I'd search the forums for the word "Brick" and see what you can find there is a lot of threads on the subject. I recall reading something about a warranty of sorts offered by HTC, you could look into that as well.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
you can TRY this, but im not sure if it will work (like 1% chance maybe, but this guy also had rogers)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=568938

if that doesnt work, then idk how to help you.... rogers have a different radio than the regular g1..i think if you flashed 26I, you maybe ok.. but then again idk

please post your results here back

PS: thats the same article that pissed cyanogen off lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatinatorX:
Thanks for the link, I'd actually already found and tried that myself. I guess you can put that thread to rest now, as I am in the exact same situation. His described steps, including any and all variations I could think of, did nothing for my poor Dream. I'd have to say the OP in that thread did indeed have only a semi-brick with some other extenuating circumstances.

Anyways, I got in contact with the one who sold me the phone and we successfully switched the ownership and IMEI over to my Rogers account, so now the phone is registered to me and I have full warranty. As the phone is older than 30 days old a factory refurbished Dream is in the mail and should arrive sometime next week with a return package for the recently deceased. ;)

This time I'm going to make sure to root/flash the phone properly, with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573 (or the linked guide depending on SPL version...)

Once that's done, do I need a specific ROM too? I've read about 3G problems on the Rogers network with some ROM's...

Thanks for your help!

I've been on AT&T for a long time, but I couldn't stay any longer when I realized not only could I get (and did) the phone for $149, but I'd save $50 a month on the same plan I had to get on AT&T!! I'm sad about not being able to use it on my EU trips, but I have a couple of other phones I could use for that purpose.

To recap, yes, the phone is A LOT cheaper with T-Mobile, but most importantly, my phone bill is now almost $130 a month instead of almost $180. That's $1200 less for the duration of the contract!!

Is there a package out there to install this on touch pro
[Touch Pro CDMA] jmy72:
2.5

There isn't a rom that is actually stable right now. To my knowledge there is only one rom tat has attempted it, and that is the XOR Alpha Rom. You can find it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559640It is not working 100% right now, and it has not had any work done on it since 8/10/09, so it may have been abandoned. Right now, the biggest flaws of the system are, the Footprints tab doesnt work. Internet key open PIE instead of Opera, and the biggest one, you can't read the numbers of your contacts, as they just appear as a bunch of squares. They dial right, you just can't see the number in case you needed to look up a number. People just have not been able to get it to port correctly and I think that is why it may have been dropped.

I installed signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip.

When I go into android system recovery <2e> it says:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

I cannot flash any update.zip file.

It says

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

I want to install cm-recovery-1.4.img

Is this possible to do without root. (as I think it somehow was undone.)

I have adb and know how to use it but I cannot get it to find cm-recovery-1.4.img on my sd card.

Almost ready to turn tricks to get this fixed!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsipma:
Not too helpful, but maybe..

I was having a hard time upgrading as well. But what finally worked for me was rolling back to the original RC29 nbh, rooting again, then installing the 1.4 recovery and going forward from there. I seem to always run into problems switching from one rom to another unless I go through the process starting with the Rc 29. Hope this is kinda helpful.

Hey All!

Have used search many many times, and tried searching Google, but can't find any result!!!

I have tried many Shell UI programs like ThrottleLauncher, Wisbar Advance, PointUI and SPB MobileShell. Of all these, SPB seems the most polished.

Whilst these apps manage to hide the ancientness that is WindowsMobile 6.1, it doesn't allow you to skin the scrollbars, buttons or dropdown menus. Can anyone think of a way to do this? Maybe something that does the same job as PalmRevolt does on Palm OS?

Surely it'd be a case of finding a program that can replace some icons / settings in the Windows Directory...

I'm keeping SPB Mobileshell too.. Its just that I'm resigning to the fact that I'll be stuck with WinMo6.1 on my Palm Treo Pro for quite some time!

Thanks all!

I'm still going to use SPB, but thought this woud
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dwizzy130:
Using a resource editor, it is possible to skin almost everything. It's just a bunch of dlls, exes and registry entries. I use PE Explorer and it's great and very powerful, but it does cost quite a bit of money..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sonus:
No unfortunately its not possible. At most you can alter themes, as I am sure you already know. The only other thing you can do is change the size of the scroll bars in the registry, and if you set their width to 0, they disappear... A setting like 2, makes them thin enough that they indicate where you are, but can't really be used.

Apart from that, you already have the right idea with SPB, Point UI, etc. You may want to know that PointUI hides more of the oem interface with the pay version and will be adding a dialer among other things in the next update. You did not mention Manilla... I don't use it b/c I just don't have the time to deal with new ROM bugs, but nonetheless it does the best the best job at hiding winmo, and has the most skinned elements...

EDIT: Just read the above post... I guess it is possible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sonus:
OK, decided to add some addtional stuff

Altering WM menu system and Dialogs

Try this program

FingerSuite

or

Try the extracted HTC Menu app

or

Edit the Menu Font size registry key for a less pretty effect, but it means one less program to install.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt

and change the value for the "Ht" entry to "1000" decimal (from 1200).

play around with 800, 900, and 1000 and see which suits your personal preference

Modifying Scroll Bars

Change the thickness of scrollbars

To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust...

For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)

For the vertical (right) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)

The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to anything you may like

Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons

To go with changing the thickness of the scrollbars, you may wish to change the length of the scrollbar arrow buttons...

For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar arrows:

HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)

For the vertical (right) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)

The default length is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chris1486:
Hmm, real pity nothing can be done to skin those ugly looking scrollbars, eventhough SPB or any other software will beautify the look as well as experience of using the device, the scrollbars will still leave a signature stating "I am the ugly looking WM 6.1"

I just recently flashed SNN Diamond on my Wizard and I'm loving it so far but I do have one caveat. When I put a customized background on my today/home, the drop-down start menu adopts the same image as its background. I don't want my drop-down start menu to have a background image, I'd prefer it to be a plain color. How do I change it? You would think that this is a simple thing to do but I have been at it for a day, still no luck. Any ideas guys?

If you have a spare microSC (any will do) try unmounting your current card and put a different one in. If you can mount a different sdcard to your computer through the G1, id try reformatting your 8gb and see if that solves the problem. Could be an issue with the ROM you are running maybe

Trouble going from JumpSPL to HarSPL

So after I run the JumpSPL batch file and get to the point where I've got the Red/Green/Blue/White screen (CAVA100 IPL-0.04 / SPL-1.00.Jump)…I'm stuck. I don't really understand where to go from here.

The phone says "USB" down in the white portion of the screen.

In my HardSPL-Cavalier-1.0-JockyW folder, I have the following files:

EnterBootloader

rapitool

RUUGetInfo

HardSPL-Cavalier-1.0-JockyW (NBH file)

ROMUpdateUtility (a windows exicutible file)

RUUResource.dll

My understanding is that while the phone is in the Red/Green/Blue/White screen, showing USB, I am supposed to run the ROMUpdateUtility…is this correct?

After showing the "Verifying the Information on your Smartphone… Please wait…"

window, it jumps straight to an ERROR 260 Connection. What am I missing here?

Thanks so much!

Note: My device is an X02HT, but I've got it SDA-application unlocked...so it shouldn't matter, right? My plan is to reflash the phone with the Dopod ROM, which will both a) run in English, and b) let me enter a SIM-unlock code...

Also, I am attempting the procedure with the original Softbank USIM in the phone...shouldn't matter, right?

Edit: Looks like it's working now. I tried running the process from a physical computer rather than a virtual machine, and it worked first-try. Should have thought of it before....
[General Questions and Answers] Chow22:
I have always used htc devices on sprint and have been accustomed to using the great roms from this site. Well after visiting a Sprint store today I was about to make the switch to the new Samsung Intrepid over the TP2 until a little light bulb went off in my head that I might not be able to put custom roms on it which would be unacceptable which leads to my question: Will custom roms be available on xda forums for the intrepid? I do not think I could live with Sprints bloatware on the phone.

TIA

@nutrapi:

The slow text input has been fixed! There is an upgrade tool which installs a new, much cleaner WinMo 6.5 (I'd suspect so, since the file is over 200MB) on the phone.

Also, I'd like to mention, if it hasn't been mentioned before, that the Intrepid now has a Flash Utility, wich might be able to be used in some way to extract and/or insert custom ROM's to it. Would love to see a kitchen for it sometime, it'd make this phone so much better!

After spending alot of time using different interfaces with my aging Hermes I have always enjoyed manilla the most. I present to you the latest Manilla2d from Mega.

I tried to do the best I could memory wise but its manilla and has animation. This is all beta too so some things might not work right but hopefully theres a simple fix.

I've decided the mega manilla is just too much of a resource hog and has too many bugs to use on the Hermes. I have found a much more stable version and everything seems to work but the negative is it takes up a lot of space. I think it came in around 30mb left after I booted but as far as ram goes it was 18mb after boot. Which isnt bad at all for manilla.
