[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xdakrak:
Hello,

I just bought a new myTouch 3G (T-Mobile USA) which has the perfect SPL. I want to root my phone and I am new to Linux. I have collected a lot of information about rooting the perfect SPL phone.

One thing is not yet clear to me is how to back up the stock ROM that came with the phone so that I can unroot it later, if need be. There are a lot warnings of doing backups before rooting. But no descriptions about how to go about doing it.

What I want to do is backup my stock ROM as the first step before I do anything. I understand that I need to downgrade my ROM to Cupcake before I can root my phone. But, before I replace my stock ROM (Donut?) with Cupcake, I want to backup my stock ROM. How can I do it?

There is a step of doing a backup using the Flashrecovery after I have downgraded to Cupcake. But, at that point, am I not backing up the older version of the ROM?

Thanks for your help in this regard.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] louplou:
Thanks in advance. I flashed a ROM, when i turn on my device, it is stuck on the "Touch Pro 2" splash screen and never goes past. I can enter bootloader. Do I have a corrupt ROM? How can I get the phone working? Thanks again!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] poppinpengawen:
first, what ROM are you using? is your device a GSM (AT&T/T-Mo) or CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) model?

when you ask questions about this kinda stuff, you always need to be as specific as possible. we won't be able to help you until we know these things.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Based on your prior posts, I will assume you have a Tilt2 on AT&T. You can get your phone back up and running by downloading another ROM, and flashing from the bootloader.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] louplou:
thanks. Verizon. I was told I have GSM phone, so I flashed GSM. Bootloader says RHOD500. SPL-1.00.0liNex. The ROM I thought I flashed was EnergyROM_28002_RHODIUM_20.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5.rar. Thank you so much for your kind consideration and help in this matter.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] louplou:
NATF, thanks, how do I flash from bootloader? FYI, we moved off of AT&T onto verizon. I got the andriod but it gave me hemaroid so I got rid of it quick and got the Touch Pro 2. Thanks for all your Fuze ROMS!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Oh you have Verizon now... me too...

Your phone is frozen because you likely flashed the GSM Energy ROM, not his CDMA release. You can have a look at my CDMA ROM (shameless plug), or check out Energy's CDMA ROMs posted over at PPCGeeks.

I'm also moving this thread to the CDMA section.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] louplou:
I think I figured it out. I copied your ROM to the root of my microsd of my fuze (since I could get to that one), then put it in the TP2, went into bootloader with very little expectations, and I got the instructions for flashing from the card on bootload! Why did I hear a scream when the phone booted? Scared the crap out of me!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Scream? :confused:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] louplou:
it was the strangest thing, a 3 second audio clip played as soon as the phone booted the first time during the install of your ROM. It could have been from my PC, I thought it was an easter egg you put into the ROM, but I should have known better.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eksasol:
I just had to make an account to say thank you for tip. I am completely new to the cellphone phone world, but had to shell out for a good one because I don't get internet to my house where I live.

I flashed my CDMA Rhodium with a gsm rom and had no idea there were a difference. I was dreading the idea of having to drive a hundred mile to the sprint store and lying about how the phone stopped working.

Good thing I tried your rom and now the phone is working again. It even gave me more free storage space on the phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] smaks2k10:
where is this rom to fix the black screen

i have the same problem but can't find your shameless rom
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] louplou:
figured out the scream

I figured out the scream, it was the notification on an incoming text "Boom Goes the Dynamite".
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Oh... that scream. :D It comes courtesy of Cleveland Brown.
[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
ok something crashed on my modaco rom. super user wont work when it goes to it it just shows black screen. tried deleting cache on it and data. no fix. cant use tether or anything root.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I'd reapply the ROM or restore from backup.
[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
i cant do that. everytime i do a nandroid backup it messes up cause of apps2sd.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
I had a similar problem. I installed the Su app from the marketplace over it then i uninstalled it and it fixed the app. Worked for me.
[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
ok i tried reloading rom and same thing. i cant find the app you are talking about. is it the super user whitelist. i cant install anything root now when it goes to su and you have to allow it all i get is black screen and it force closes
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Yes its the Super whitelist app.
[Hero CDMA General] elguapo76:
try reformatting the ext partition first. Wipe the system than do a system restore or nandroid restore. If you did a nandroid backup of the faulty system than I hope you have the stock nandroid backup as well.
[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
ok tried the super whitelist and it downloads but never installs just sends me back to the sprint flash and restarts. i dont really want to restore back cause then i have to download all my apps again. im seriously thinking that apps2sd are more trouble than they are worth. maybe some one can do a walkthrough on how to back them up in the event of a crash like this.
[Hero CDMA General] 5tr4t4:
Same here

I can confirm this behavior. I just reinstalled from a backup, installing whitelist from the Market gave me the unending HTC screen of death.

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/

Superuser.apk can be found in any one of the available ROMs, fresh, gutted, MoDaCo, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] posguy99:
Turn USB Debugging back on.
[Hero CDMA General] VoXHTC:
Oh Snap! TY! :eek:
[Hero CDMA General] red250:
I'm having the same issue. Just in case, I ruu'd back and started over.

Everything works fine up to installing the rom.

Debugging is on.

Tried wiping the ext partion from flash screen, says "error" run wipe_ext via consle"

I tried installing the superuser whitelist app from market, and it won't install, says "incompatible update".

Tried pushing the superuser.apk, it says "failed to copy, read only file system.

Any ideas, i'm lost. I can run my nandroid back to before I installed the 1.2c modaco and it works fine, as soon as I install the rom nothing works in root.
[Hero CDMA General] VoXHTC:
I used SU File Manager & Terminal 3.0.6 to cut/copy/paste Superuser.apk back into the app folder. I then ran it and it installed with no problems and works great for me.

I made sure that I used the built in feature to make the system and data folders RW before I cut/copy/pasted anything. Hope this helps.

Hi AnDim,

Nice tool to use in combination with the htcRIE tool. Thank you for that! Anyway you could make it possible to import reg- or rgu-files? That would make this even better!

Support .rgu files
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rgb-rgb:
Very nice utility, thank you for this.

I am using it on Windows 7 and one thing I did notice is that when browsing for a file to open it did not show any of the .rgu files. I had to go to the Files and Folders options on my computer and uncheck the option to Hide Protected Operating System Files. Using Ervius Visual Kitchen, I do not have to do this so maybe there is a option somewhere that can be set in the code to show all of the files? Would be great to include this as an option somehow.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nokser:
Thanks for the new relase ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Diagrafeas:
Whats up with some keys being in red color?

And what does the program do when inside the file exist two value names with the same value data in the same key?

It keeps the last one?

Like this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\VTCallWaiting]

"Category"="InCall"

"Category"="Ring"

Thanks.

Edited...

It seems that the keys in red are the keys that will be deleted.

And the last one is kept.

Could you add an option to ask the user which value to keep?

thank you .............
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Skrobel:
Hello,

This tool is fantastic. It's the only program that allowed me to change my .hv files without problems (I tried CeRegEditor and manual RGUcomp but all these methods failed in my case).

The only thing I miss is the possibility to import data from rgu/reg or even txt. Pleeeease :o

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingnutt:
I had RC33,

and upgraded (imo) to Cyanogen.

Im trying to pair with my tomtom G630, but no luck.

the phone sees the tomtom, shows as "paired but not connected"

the tomtom doesent even detect the phone though, despite the phone bluetooth being set to discoverable.

It worked fine before.

any ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
From what I know, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen mod fully supports all the BT features, maybe you got a bad flash. Check the md5sum and if its not right delete the file off your computer and redownload and wipe, wipe ext2, repair ext2 and wipe then flash.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingnutt:
man, i hope that's not it, everything else works absolutely perfect, tethering works beautifully.

Im more inclined to blame the damn tomtom than the G1 LOL
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
haha

Yeah, I use an app called CoPilot but its expensive so I recommend AndNav2

Its not that bad =]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingnutt:
I already bought the tom, and have updated the maps already once, so ive sunk about $400 into it, its not getting replaced any time soon.

Im racking my brain, but there just really isnt anywhere to go on this.

If i set the phone to be discoverable and run a scan with my laptop, boom its found, almost instantly.. So the phone IS discoverable, just not by the tomtom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingnutt:
Ok, so now things have swerved far into the retarded lane.

My Macbook can detect the G1 just fine.

If I set the macbook to be discoverable, the tomtom will find it just fine.

so the G1 is boradcasting and can be discovered, and the tomtom is trying to detect and is detecting other discoverable devices..

but not the G1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingnutt:
AH HA!!!

got it!

the trick (if you can call it that) was to do "connect to bluetooth device" not the scan for phone option.

WELL CRAP

I still cannot use tomtom traffic, says the G1 is not capable of wireless data or something to that effect.

poop.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
aww haha, hmm maybe TomTom will update or a dev will code something to help out.

not sure, I don't have a car nor a tomtom lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom in AZ:
Please don't take this as me flaming, but did you say "Maybe TomTom will update their code"? No way! They are lazy when it comes to that, even when you have purchased their top of the line products, they just don't care. It is take it or leave it when it comes to their stuff. I had more luck working with Parrot, Cardo, and a few other companies who actually wanted to help make their products work, or at least listened to work-around ideas to help implement them.

I am stuck with a TomTom Rider 2nd edition for my 2 wheeled ride and it hates my G1 phone, all TomTom says is to deal with it or to get an older phone from their list of phones that are known to work. I even offered to pay for a new map upgrade and they said it was not enough. BTW, I had 2 GO910 models and they both took a crap in the first week. I had to fight with Circuit City to rectify the problem (even with the extended warranty). I ended up getting my money back since TomTom blamed me for having a car with a tight suspension and was not willing to fix the unit. This was on a Chrysler 300M with the touring package. When they told me that line I laughed so hard that I cried! Next time I'll get a GPS from a different company or just try the TeleNav program on the G1. I wish Google Maps read out turn by turn directions and stuff.

If you know linux, you might want to just try to hack into the GPS and work that puppy till it begs to connect to your phone.

I've looked, and I just don't get what it means to "put it on the classpath".

Can someone spell out for me, idiot-proof, how I get DroidEx to work? I have the 1.6 SDK working (not that I've used anything but adb and ddms for producing logs and looking for problems i other people's stuff). I can get screenshots from ddms.

I'm using Windows XP sp3

My SDK is in C:\a-sdk-1.6r1

I have adb and fastboot on C: and have just used it from there.

DroidEx download:

http://groups.google.com/group/cw-android/web/DroidEx-1_6.jar

The instructions I'm using

http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/browse_thread/thread/939b320cea3c81d4

I'm not ready to start development myself yet (trust me/if that's not obvious), but I'd really like to get the functionality DroidEx offers. I think it'll also help me get going if I can understand the SDK itself a little better.

Thanks!

Edit: here's what I've tried, and this is what I get:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djengizz:
If you're on windows try using a semicolon to separate the classpath entries.

edit:

I see another error since you're sdk isn't in the opt folder but on the root of C.

Try putting the DroidEx-1_6.jar in the root of C:\, open a command line at the root of C:\ and try:

java -cp DroidEx-1_6.jar;C:/a-sdk-1.6r1/tools/lib/ddmlib.jar com.commonsware.droidex.DroidEx

I think that should work.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janis:
Thank you!!!

It did work! I am so excited, it's bizarre. I don't think I've ever been so enthused about a semicolon before.

There's this app called My Mobiler that does this, and it allows control of the device via the PC, drag&drop file transfer, copy/paste text (which was really handy for all those software registration codes). There are so many things I don't miss about Windows Mobile, but this is one that I do.

Now, to actually capture the video... for free.

I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice as I'm new to this... I thought I'd done plenty of reading and knew what I was doing, but I appear to have fallen at the first hurdle...

I've downloaded pof's artemis_USPL, and followed the instructions to the letter, however everytime I run it, I get the DOS screen which appears to finish successfully (while my phone's screen goes black with the linux penguin on it, and 'WELCOME TO HARET' written below it). The rom update utility then launches, and I click through the wizard, but at this point my computer loses connection to the phone (while the modeless dialog saying something like 'inspecting moblie device's configuration' is displayed on the computer). ActiveSync also terminates itself when this happens. The Rom update wizard then reports Error [260]. I've looked this up on the RUU_Errors page on the wiki, and it says I should use softSPL. Do I need a specific version of this for the Artemis? And am I likely to have any more success?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
