[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
So I need to format the phone so I can apply the update. My contacts on my phone aren't online in my gmail. I need to save them there so I can then sync them back after I reformat the phone.

I have tried getting this to work on the phone and it is a no go. I can't get it to sync online and save the contacts. Anyone know how to get this to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dying4004:
there are several ways of doing this.

* use contact2sim pro and copy phone contacts to sim. then format phone and import contacts from sim to phone.

* convert all ur phone contacts to google contacts in phone and sync with gmail.

* mybackup pro does sumthing similar. though i dint try this. u can give it a shot. cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
contact2sim work the same as the pro version. I just want to back the contacts up and then back onto the phone after I format.

How would I go about converting my contacts on my phone to google contacts?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
Anybody help with that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mape78:
Yep, I second that question. In fact, instead of having 1 set of contacts for Google, and one set for my Outlook contacts I would like them to be merged.

The same with the calendars. Everything I change in Outlook I would like to have reflected on my gmail account, without the need of a 3rd part application on the PC.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icephoenix231@yahoo.com:
I've looked all over, and I believe I already know the answer to this..

But of course while flashing ROM's and themes and whatnot, I believe I've bricked my G1. Turning it on just leaves it hanging at the T-mobile G1 screen. I cannot get into recovery or fastboot mode. (Again, nothing happens when I hold down Power + Home, or Power + Camera).

Going to say it one more time, because I've been looking things up all morning...and people seem to ask this a lot :P I cannot get into recover or fastboot mode. Holding down Power + Camera, Power, or Power + Home just leaves me with the same results, stuck at the T-mobile G1 screen for hours+.

Is my phone bricked? Am I screwed? is there anything I can do, or does this require replacing hardware? I've heard of some people finding a way out of this, and I've also heard others saying I'm screwed.

I received my G1 from customer care from T-mobile... So I guess I can technically return it? Should I just send it back, or will they know I've broken warranty by playing with the software?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
If you can't get into bootloader, or recovery, you are bricked.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky 69:
yep, prob bricked .but have you tryed just as a last resort, take out your battery, hold the camera button, and put it back in to see if it will boot into the spl. if it doesnt start right away, try holding power right after doing it again

__________________ B-man007 get's all the credit if it work worth a shot good luck:):)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icephoenix231@yahoo.com:
So I figured. I tried the power thing, Lucky69. No luck here.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what I do? Like I said, I've only had the phone for a couple of days now. Is it possible to return it to T-mobile? Do you thnik they'll know what happened and say no, or just flash the device and get me a fixed/new one? Can I open it up and fix it myself?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky 69:
just act like when you tryed to turn it on it dont work .they should replace just don't tell them you been messing with it .but if you can't get into recovery,bootloader ect then it's done for .also if t mobile give you any trouble ,then call htc and go that route . but if you only had a fews days should be no problem good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
Yeah, if you just got it a few days ago, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd be willing to bet tmobile will even replace it. That will save you the hassle of going through the HTC route.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icephoenix231@yahoo.com:
That's what I was going to try. Say something about I was prompted to OTA update to 1.5, Walked awayrot he phone, came back and it was as is. I just don't know their ability to open it up and look at it/hook it in and see a ROM on there, ya know?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky 69:
ya ,that would be good to say .also the tmobile store prob won't know at all just take it in .i haven't ever heard of any one getting refused unless you tell then you what you were doing .don't worry they won't come after you .just play it cool .you aren't the first one to do this .but the sooner the better then you will have your phone again .then you can go back to it just be carefull on what you flash .good luck. just say it said update and you hit ok then that's when it did it .
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeerKan:
Hi,

I have a HTC Dream G1 and I have a strange problem. Every time I unlock the phone the touchscreen is not responding for 3-7 seconds and sometimes starts to move icons uncontrolable (in the first seconds). After that everything works ok, no problems.

If it is a hardware problem, this kind of problems should be present always, not only in the seconds right after unlocking so I guess it's a software problem.

T-Mobile G1

1.6 Firmware

BaseBand version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Kernel version 2.6.29.6-cm42 shade@toxugene

Mod version CyanogenMod-4.2.5 (this problem is present on several rom's i tried)

Build number DRC83

Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3s_4ev3r:
Given the fact that on any rom you had that bug was there, i tend to think it's a hardware problem(worst case scenario) and if software ... how can it be fixed, any input people ???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I had similar issues resulting from a bad flash of the SPL. SPL has a lot of hardware controls under its umbrella of influence. Try reflashing your SPL from a freshly formatted SD card. Pain in the ass, but I bet it fixes your problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeerKan:
Tried to set the SPL again, tried with another SPL, the problem is the same. Any other suggestions ?

Thanks.

When the option is switched-off, the description for Airplane mode says 'Disable all wireless connectionss'.
[HD2 General] nielshtc:
It might be a string value you can edit in one of the _manila files in the Windows directory. I use a Dutch ROM so I couldn't find that typo. If it's not there you probably have to hack into the resources of the settings programme. That's what I had to do to correct a typo in the Dutch rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=586849).

If you don't know how, maybe someone with an English ROM can fix it..

Hello,

I recently got a HTC Hero from Malaysia with firmware version "2.73.728.5 146733 CL#61267 release keys". I want to install MoDaCo ROM on it. To do that I first tried installing the recovery image, but I got a "not allowed" error.

Any idea how to proceed?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] mkhopper:
Going through the steps in this thread to update the lockscreen images, I have a question about messing around with the system files.

Which is the better method?

1) While the phone is up and running, start adb shell and mount the system using this command:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

or

2) Boot into the modified recovery screen, start adb shell and then use these steps:

mount /system
{copy, move, edit files files... whatever...}
umount /system'
reboot

Would the second method be the more correct (or cleaner) method, or does it not really matter?
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
You might want to replace the second part with just

{copy,move,edit,etc}
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

The first step already mounts the partition so the mount in step 2 is kinda redundant. Also, a reboot can be helpful, I've not found it necessary in most cases...the phone adjusts pretty well to change usually (at least it adjusts to removal of programs or even taking rosie out and adding it back in).

Looking for the correct thread for upgrading/unlocking my Touch Pro 2. It was ordered today and should be here Monday.

Welcome to forums

Have a deep read here:

MOD Edit - Link Removed

Good luck,

p.s: A please or thank you is always nice :)

-I removed the link provided since US Cellular is a CDMA carrier, and requires different unlocking tools.
[General Questions and Answers] NotATreoFan:
US Cellular is CDMA, not GSM, so I edited the link out of Orb's post so that you do not accidentally flash any of the unlockers in that thread.

You can check out the Rhodium CDMA forum here. There is a thread in there containing the CDMA HardSPL required to unlock your phone and allow custom ROMs to be flashed.

please some body tell me

how can i install any program in my magic

i can put source file into external memory

but can't find any explorer to fine this source file and install it

how can i do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] bjtheone:
3 options:

1) Use the market to load a file manager that has the install feature. These will let you browse your sdcard and install apk files from there. Astro is a very popular file manager.

2) Install via adb and your pc.

3) Install via a terminal app using Linux commands.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] mout2u:
Install program into my Magic

I have downloaded the Astro apk file onto my Notebook. How do I install via adb and my pc?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] glazeus:
Android is really great, but there a few points of Android ownership that are a bit of a pain... one of which is installing APKs on your device. Enter installAPK!

What it does

installAPK is currently for Windows only. After installation on your machine, you can double click APK files to install them on your USB attached android device. Simple as that!

​

Where do I get it?

Download the install EXE here - Setup.installAPK.EXE ( 785.37K )

If you are prompted for USB drivers when you connect your device, you can get those here - usbdriver.zip ( 3.14MB )

source: android.modaco.com​
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] mout2u:
Many thx glazeus for your post and the downloads links. Will do as posted by you.:):)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] glazeus:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] mout2u:
Hi glazeus,

I downloaded the usbdriver.zip file. I unzipped this file and extracted the wdfCoInstaller01......file into my Magic SD card. When I clicked on this file. it says "Windows cannot open this file", eh? What am I to do?:confused::confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Alphabet Soap:
if none of the above works

just download eoe app installer from the market. whack the apk files onto your sd card (doesn't matter where) and when you run eoe it'll bring them up in a list.

long click > install

Re: Install programs into my Magic

Anyway, many thx for showing me the way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] glazeus:
Have you download and installed Setup.installAPK.EXE on your PC?

you shouldn't do this, just doubl click on your PC

Did you try to open *.apk file?

Hi guy's n Gal's

Here's my xip porting kitchen for Himalaya,

It's based on Lennysh XIPKitchen see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443383 Thanks Lennysh your brill :D

What doe's my kitchen do?

1) It extracts xip.bin from your kitchen's nk.nba and sets up lennish XIPKitchen ;) Magic:eek:

2) Back's up your nk.nba to tools folder

3) Makes it easy to build and insert the New_xip.bin into the nk.nba

To use download and extract, place "XIP_Porting_Kitchen" in kitchen and RUN "Port_XIP.bat" read the DOS window for instructions, :)

It's as Automatic as i can get it,:rolleyes: you just need to add the info provided into xipport and the new xip.bin will be inserted correctly,

I have based this to work with my Himalaya kitchen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555390

and provided 1, donor xip_23007 just for you to play with and learn,;)

To test both Kitchen's download them and port xip to 23007 and build the rom,:)

you should get a hybrid rom, OS 23007 (build 23004)

it will work in any kitchen that has OEM, ROM, & SYS, folder's

It will also work for sundream kitchen but you have to do some copy n pasting manualy, instructions in download,

Hi mate, i was able to port xip 23088 & xip 28002 to ur kitchen with copied sys 23420 from aeroflyluby.

Where should i correct the error? Thanks. . .

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] swampy395:
Hi mate

1) It sounds like your crashing build imgfs ( you probly have too many files in your new SYS )

unpack my kitchen again somewere on your PC and compair each folder in SYS:rolleyes: i know it's borring:( ,you will find there are many things removed;) in short if it's not in my SYS you prob don't need it;)

make some folders with same name as the ones you remove things from:) then if you need to put anything back you know were;)

In the later builds you will find more graphic files some needed some not !!

if you can't get them all in you can add some to "ExtROM" use the copy1 etc. in config.txt

TIP: drag a couple of folders out of SYS and run kitchen again till it builds without crashing then add back bit by bit;) look for free sectors at end of DOS window read the screen at all times:)

Something else is "files n module's" if it's a file in my SYS then you need to recmod any module's to files, or the ROM will not boot to many module's will use up all the free RAM and cause unstable errors

And if you don't have a device to test the rom yourself, I wouldent recommend posting any ROM's:( .

What if you BRICK Someone's Device:mad::mad:

If you're on T-Mobile and can't get the YouTube app to work, you need to remove the T-Mobile proxy server:

I think the blocking is done at the proxy, so disabling the content block or removing the proxy will do the same thing.

Best to do both since the proxy causes problems with other things also.

Try a soft reset. I got both things removed but still had problems the suddenly I noticed it was working.
