from the link

http://areacellphone.com/2009/10/htc-droid-eris-vs-motorola-droid-iphone/

it says that is has a double sim port so you can put a normal GSM sim in.

But again, this forum is populated by lazy people who cannot be arsed to find out for themselves. I googled this within a minute, which it is taking me longer to moan about...

Terrible.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zenonasz:
Thanks for the answer, appreciated.

But did not answer my quastion as what you state is for the MOTOROLA droid.

Man as you may noticed i am an xda member for quite a long now i had many wm devices in the past and i am also an IT. I never post before searching(see #post) or if i know what search for.

in the link you post it sates tha HTC droid Eris Radio type:

* Comm standard: CDMA

* CDMA type: EV-DO rA

* CDMA bands: 850, 1900

I have no idea what to look for to see if its supported in Europe.

Thanks, Zenon.

And again any answer is appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zenonasz:
NO IT WONT WORK...

according to this article

http://www.3gnewsroom.co.uk/3g_news/mar_05/news_5669.shtml

i notice that the particular device wont work in EU

EU use cdma 850~1900

i have already send an email to the seller, not to ship the phone.

Any confirmation of the above will be good.

Thanks.

P.s: i found out that i can still search after i post a thread and i can reply to my own thread to give more information to people... WOW!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
??? That link says that the Motorola Droid has a dual SIM slot, whereas the OP asked about the HTC Droid Eris.

FWIW I can't find anything that says the Eris is a world phone, so I think the OP should assume that it isn't and that it won't work on GSM networks.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
EU uses W-CMDA, not CDMA. Whilst both are similar technologies the former is part of the GSM standard whereas the latter is not.

Some CDMA phones are what they call "world phones" which essentially means they have a GSM radio and SIM card slot in addition to the CDMA radio, but the vast majority do not. See here for more details.

Dave

As the subject line says: do we know if HTC intends to release an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.1 when it eventually ships? And, if so, any idea of a timetable?

(And no, I am not interested in installing a "cooked" ROM to get it).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lord_BlackAdder:
I don't know. But I don't care either as I don't like the large buttons that they put in the bottom task bar. To me the best combination is WM6.5 + Manila 2.1 + HTC twitter tab (the one in Manila 2.5).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I don't think anyone outside MS knows anything about 6.5.1 updates, distribution plants, etc. Considering 6.5 came out a month ago, yet was months in the making (first ROM I used was in May, leaked screenshots much earlier than that) you're gonna have to give 6.5.1 some time. You've got to at least wait for MS to acknowledge it in press releases before you should expect official upgrades. I'm hoping they'll elaborate on 6.5.1 by/on CES, but I'm not sure about actual dates.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
I highly doubt MS will officially release WinMo 6.5.1. They're probably just testing ideas for WinMo 7. I personally can't wait for WinMo 7 and sincerely hope it's kick-ass...

I'm sure this is a problem most of us have.

In the messaging mode,

The 'shift' key on the virtual keyboard is very close to the 'send' key. Using it is a challenge when you try to press the shift and accidentlly hit the send.

I ran across posts in other device forum that were asking for any idea but didn't get any feedback. Since this is more of a problem in HD, I thought I check if anyone can share some tips on how they get around it besides just using a stylus to key in every letter.

Thanks in advance

I have flashed MDA Compact III to the Shady ROM (WM 6.5)

CID Unlock & SIM Unlock done and works fine :)

Now I have a question about wireless - I cannot find definitive answer whether this phone has wireless chip just disabled (and it can be enabled) or is there no wireless chip at all so no way of enabling wireless?

There were some discussions about it but I couldn find whether its a dead end or there is a way of enabling it.

Hello ,

my HTC Touch pro was bricked few months ago

i installed WRONG hard spl

on pc it showed 100% Completed

but i couldnt start my phone

how can i fix this ?

if i use Hard Reset method, i doesnt work , i cant start my phone
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] steezee:
have you tried installing a new SPL via storage card (rename spl file to RAPHIMG.NBH and place it on the storage card) and enter bootloader mode by holding the vol down button when powering on the device?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] atjee:
the problem is

i cant start bootloader

nothing is working
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DJGonzo:
I think you got yourself a brick...

Does it at least vibrate?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thekidz.rocks:
Run SPLExploit!

Dude, i have the same problem with you too but its not my TouchPro :D but its my old school Dopod D810. I flashed custom rom (my home cook) but forgot to add sumthin and finally i learned somethin that i can ****up my phones LOL. Just like what i thought my phone wont start and it refuse to enter on Windows OS but atleast bootloader mode still accessible. Thanks God :)

I search for post how to recover bricked phone (ofcourse on trinity room) and found some tools call "SPLEXPLOIT" it runs on DOS Mode. This program can erase your nand memory which in this case you flashed the wrong SPL and will rebuilt some bad Nand memory too. Good tho :)

I finally can bring my dead dopod came to life (for almost 1 year i left it on garage) lol. Just asked cmonex! maybe he can help you...

If this tools works universal i'm sure it will worked on TP too! Just asked cmonex for more details...

Run SPLExploit (as Administrator) --> while Enter in Bootloade mode -->

Just make sure that USB Cable was recognized as "USB" on the bottom of the screen not "Serial"!

When its done ....

NOTE: "Dont Soft Reset the phone even when SPLExploit ask you to SR the devices" just go ahead straight away flashing new custom rom or anything you want

Goodluck!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
The OP can't get into bootloader, because the bootloader is corrupted/dead. So that isn't going to work.

JTAG is the only way to fix it, and as far as I know, no one knows how to do it on a Raphael.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Maybe playing with BIOS ( if BIOS can be accessed ) might help.

But BIOS can really make ur brick a worse brick if done wrongly please ask for help from the senior most members on Raphael forums.

And request them don't order them.

And if nothing works * I love to say this line *

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] iugalde:
Do you tried to start bootloader manually?

You can do that, press and hold Vol down, then reset button (with stylus), release reset (keep vol down pressed) and when the multicolor screen appears then release vol down key

I hope this can help you?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
That is the only way to go to bootloader but as Farmer Ted mentioned his phone ( including bootloader is dead ! )

So i don't think there is any way out for you except if any really senior members can help you with bios or pump in something which starts your bootloader ! :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] silentP:

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] komar808:
the same problem

I did the same thing to my HTC Fuze aka rafael or touch pro, from some reason it was the same thing as diamond and i flashed wrong spl and completely bricked it, no bootloader no nothing. So i went to a service and they said it was a hardware problem so they had to send it somewhere else to be fixed. It took them 3 weeks to get the phone back, in not working condition saying that motherboard was dead. I guess thats what happens when you flash wrong stuff... Now i dont know what to do either. I would like to sell mine for parts if someone is interested or if someone know how to use jtag i would pay him to try to fix it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
Has anyone been able to root thier Erie yet? If so how did you do it? Or can anyone point me in the right direction to get started. Thanks for the help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jealous cow:
I think it'll be at least a few weeks. Someone needs to get the recovery image and mod it as they did with the Hero. I think.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
so is anyone working on this? if you give me instuctions i will dump my phone and post it, if that will help? i would really just like to be able to tether over wifi when needed without having to pay out the ear for it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] herzzreh:
Is it that different from the Sprint's Hero? Try the current method...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jealous cow:
I'm concerned that the image from the Hero will cause problems since it's different carrier etc
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cicada:
The method used to root isn't carrier dependent. You probably won't want to load MoDaCo's current ROM as it is Sprint specific, but assuming the kernel build is the same you may be able to gain root with the asroot2 script.

To clarify, 'rooting' is not the same as loading a custom ROM. One begets the other, but loading a custom ROM isn't a requirement, just a door that gets opened when you gain root access to your phone.

Assuming everything else is the same on the phone, the Amon_Ra recovery bootloader should work as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paulobrien:
If asroot2 works then we can flash a new recovery image, you can dump your ROM, and I can do a MCR version.

P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
would i still use the recovery image that is posted for the hero? or would i stop at that step when rooting?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] diesel556:
If you use the recovery image for the hero and it doesn't work, it's not usually a big deal.

Just pull out the battery to restart your phone normally. Since the recovery image is separate from the rom, replacing the first does not affect the latter.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tstack77:
Follow the rooting instructions to the letter, all the way through. Just don't flash a new rom if successful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
You can use the recovery image posted for the Hero.

The eris and droid can't use that exploit unfortunately, you'll have to wait until there's another way in
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
You guys and Bell South...sounds like Sprint had the only vulnerable CDMA version. o_O

You guys will have to wait for a new "asroot" type file...a new exploit to get you guys access.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
well that sucks, so there is no other way around this right now? Or if anyone needs a ginnie pig i am more than happy to help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jealous cow:
That's what I thought. Hopefully since the hardware is so similar it wont take long.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cicada:
Unfortunately hardware is barely a glimmer in this equation - the expliots used to gain root are software, usually kernel bugs.

Something will turn up soon.hopefully.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
Just remember, while it's unlikely, any of these actions could theoretically brick your phone...be aware of the risks!

Have you attempted the flashrec method?

Drop the Recovery Image from here onto your sd card

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581521

Download the apk from here and install it on your phone:

http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec (download it from your phone's webbrowser and open the file...if that doesn't work, download astro file explorer from the market and try again).

Once you open flashrec, click on the "backup" link and then type in the path to your recovery image (most likely: /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img)

Then flash and try to reboot into recovery mode (power off, then either home+power, volume down+power, or camera+power...depends on who you ask, one of those should get you into the recovery image where you'll see an option for nandroid, that's how you'll know it was a success).

If you reboot and it doesn't work or it freezes, pop out the battery and boot normally...shouldn't hurt anything (though if you want to be more safe, I'd wait until we got the RUU for whatever carrier you're on (Verizon/Telus/etc)). Currently the Sprint RUU is the "get out of jail" card that's saved a bunch of people.

Just remember, while it's unlikely, any of these actions could theoretically brick your phone...be aware of the risks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markachee:
Cellular South :P

It doesn't use the same exploit as asroot2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
Sorry, Cell South, Bell south...(can you tell I'm not from around there? :P)

I have no idea if it does...but I figured it can't hurt to try eh? :P Because if it works, wouldn't that be awesome?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
thanks

Thanks ill give this a try tomorrow, hopfully it works, also will this wipe my divice or no? And if so what's the best way to back up my contacts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
Currently, MoDaCo doesn't require a wipe...nor does the recovery image (think of it as a second mini-operating system that you boot into...and it specializes in nandroid backups/recovery and updating your phone's OS with custom ROMs).

MoDaCo's ROM is currently the only CDMA custom ROM we have but it also doesn't require a wipe, so it just adds onto what you already have. (or should at least)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
Ok so if this works will I be rooted than or will it just let me load custom find? Is this kinda like a hard spl for winmo phones? thanks for all your help so far.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thecodemonk:
No sweat...and MoDaCo comes all rooted and ready for ya. This mostly just means some of the features are less restricted (like wireless tethering capabilities and such). :) Eventually (and hopefully), we will have a custom kernel that will remove even more of the bit of lag we get on occasion. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] binny1007:
No luck, it seems as though flashrec is not working properly on this phone. :( I guess we will have to wait, if the moto droid gets a root patch do you think it will work with the eris?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chavo2005:
does anyone have a system dump of this phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Videofolife13:
FASTBOOT

I'm new to Android, so forgive me for not knowing if this is important or not:

Basically, I stumbled upon this by accident. If you shut down the Eris completely, then hold both the Call and the End button down while booting up the phone, you will come to what seems to be a recovery/Boot mode. Here is the code I got:

PB00100 XP SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.46.0000 (BB0010000)
MICROP-0111
TOUCH PANEL-MELFAS_45_17
RADIO-2.32.00.09.26
OCT 5 2009, 19:21:56

FASTBOOT
<VOL DOWN> H BOOT MODE

So, the last two things here:

RADIO-2.32.00.09.26
OCT 5 2009, 19:21:56

Are the radio version and date the phone was flashed (just my intuition). From what I've recently read, this means we can flash stuff to the phone relatively easily. :)

Hoping this helps. Much love to everyone who's trying to root this thing.
