[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
Hi,

I have been messing with this for a few weeks now.

I have a magic 32B, spl 0004

I don't know how but i got cyanogenmod 4.2.5 on my phone.

But then i tried to use the update app and it fails.

It seems that there are 2 problems.

1. my recovery is still the stock one

2. i just cant seem to get a good connection with my computer.

Every time i try something its waiting for device.

Or with adb devices its an empty list.

i used a windows vista machine and a windows 7 machine

Is there someone who is willing to help me get this done?

I checked threads about, usb drivers, installing adb, installing recovery.img, installing cyanogen.

But there is always a step that just doesn't go according to the manuals.

i was about to give up, but i just really want this to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] justbenjp:
As you have already stated you have a stock recovery.img on the phone, to get the cyanogenmod updater program to work you need a custom one, the instructions to install this can be found on cyanogenmod.com in the downloads section.

If you are having problems getting the phone to connect to the pc make sure the drivers have installed correctly, you can download them at the link bellow incase you cant find them, by default they dont download with the sdk anymore, dont know why :-|

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
I have tried to install a custom recovery, but when i follow the steps i cant seem to connect to my phone via CMD.

When i check the drivers.. i'm not sure its 100% correct.

I have installed the once before.

and now he doesn't ask me for the drivers anymore.

but neither do i see it in the devicemanager, the way its being described in the manuals.

just something else involving android, but not ADB

i have tried to follow the manual, and threats about how to get the driver right..

but with this, i also have had problems with the steps..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] justbenjp:
On your phone go into settings....applications....Development and make sure

you have USB debugging enabled
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
I have done this..

I will try again on a vista machine which i havent used for this yet
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
Great.. it would not install the SDK..

So back on my windows 7 machine..

still getting device not found in CMD - adb devices

connected with usb debugging on..

cant see anything in device manager, but the system also doesnt ask for drivers...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
I went into fastboot and then it asked me for drivers..

Now i do have

Android phone - Android Bootloader interface

but in any other situation, it does not show anything or ask anything.

I just keep getting device not found...

i can no longer go back to the sprint the sprint

does anyone know how i can get my phone back to normal so i can take it to sprint:(

thank you for helping :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I inserted an NTFS card in mine the first time I tried to use it. Make absolutly sure that your card is Fat and NOT NTFS.

you can check it by (on windows) inserting the card into a reader and then right click the disc in my computer and looking at the Format:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian2220:
ok i went to sprint a little while ago and took my rooted hero back and they took it to look at it no questions asked.

i will post back when i get it and what happens.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
They'll usually take it back as long as you aren't running anything that requires root that is obvious. I wouldn't go in with a terminal open on the screen thats for sure. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian2220:
ok got my phone back and its fixed

they didn't care that it was rooted h even made a joke about it

and that is another reason why i love sprint :D

SD cards are working again?

Hi,

I have a Touch2 from about 1 week.

I have a strange problem with the clock... loss about 10 minutes!

Anyone had experience this same problem.

All the other functionality work perfectly.

Thank you and regards,

I synced my time with the telco. so its always accurate :)

Maybe it's becuase of your pc time...if you sync your phone with the pc it will sync your clock too...i had a Htc Vox and it was the same...:)

The best is to synchronize it via GPS. My iGo navigation software does that fo me.

[Click General] kashishd:
Guys, I just purchased the Tattoo yesterday after checking specs worldwide and on all forums, and today I was going through the box specs it mentions support only up to EDGE. I was shocked and called the HTC helpline and was told that the India version does not support 3G !!!! This is after the store person checking specs. and confirming that it is 3g...Please can anyone throw light on this...I am saddended as I wanted a future proof phone atleast for a cple of years....Also if any developer or inside guy would have an idea whether this could just be a software limitation or even a hardware one...Thanks
[Click General] manuvaidya:
yeah.... even i am fooled like that only. i thought 3G is also there before i buy it. the very next day when i was searching for it, i couldnt get that. very sad with the date of auctioning 3G in india coming nearer & you get a blow underneath is not fair from HTC.... too sad :mad:

i didnt expect this kind of royal work from internationally well-known company.... :confused:

I don't understand what course of action we have here, only we can hope that this is an OS limitation they actually haven't limited the hardware, may be some advanced members can throw some light on this?
[Click General] manuvaidya:
hi kashish, its evident from their reply that its EDGE enabled phone only. i hope its not limited by OS. infact hardware itself is not there i guess... how did u come to know that its just an OS limited functionality??? i have no idea.... even i am curious to know the answer because i too own a tattoo just like u....

one doubt i have, what if i flash my tattoo with European ROM's??? will that enable 3G function on my tattoo according to you ???? just curiosity..:o
[Click General] kashishd:
we will never knw!

Hey...i dont think we;ll know after flashing unless we get 3g in india! i guess we've been dealt a sour deal..which city are you in? we can go try to raise hell at the HTC service ctnre or something....
[Click General] manuvaidya:
i am placed in bangalore... i dont think we can do much about it. more over, they have not quoted anywhere on their asian site saying that, its 3G. even i saw specifications on gsmarena.com & went straightaway to buy it... i dont know about u.

Let me assure u that, if u think that we can do something about it, i will give u company. where r u placed in India???

No 3G in Tattoo

Guys,

I have also been a victim of this and after purchasing the tattoo i came to know there is no 3G... Let me also tell u that the indian version of the HTC Diamond also did not have 3G...

Sitting back and when i started to think.. I went to the htc website and made a bit research.. Going to the European Tattoo site it shows me

HSDPA/WCDMA:

Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz

Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds

and in US its a bit different (P.S. Tattoo is not launched in US yet)

Different regions have different ranges (Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands)

As all are aware that 3G spectrum is not yet finalized in India, I feel that HTC did not take a risk of assuming a spectrum and releasing a 3G radio for it but instead played a safer way of removing the 3G radio from it. so when in the future when the frequency bands are finalized, chances are there for HTC to sell alone the 3G radios which can be inserted onto the Tattoo.

Any comments on my hypothesis are welcomed..

Ram
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
I think the 3G limitation is a software one, and not a hardware limitation. If you look at the model number for the Tattoo, A3232, it's the same for the Indian as well as other versions. So I'm assuming that the hardware is the same. So i hope that with the much rumoured Android 2.1 update to the Tattoo, 3G capability is brought back.
[Click General] manuvaidya:
is the 3G service really a software based one???? now BSNL is offering 3G service in India. why cant we see their 3G service if we do network search then ????

what if we flash our ROM with European tattoo ROM, then shall we get the 3G icon on top of our main screen ??? as we have noticed that icon in youtube videos of tattoo being used in foreign countries???

i am curious to know the answer for this...... pls sheikh.....
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
TBH, I really don't know for sure if the European ROM will enable 3G. I'm only guessing that since the hardware is the same, the 3G service has been disabled in the Indian ROM.

BTW, yesterday, I played some YouTube videos using my EDGE internet service, and they worked just fine.
[Click General] manuvaidya:
thanks for ur timely responses sheik.... i really appreciate that u have shared ur knowledge with us...... keep up the good work bro. i will again disturb u for more knowledge if the situation demands.... pls dont feel bad, ok????? :o
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
No problem! :D
[Click General] kashishd:
more victims!!

very slyly HTC has released the much celebrated Tattoo, not once it was mentioned that this isnt same as the rest of the world. The tattoo sell for the same price in the UK..we arent exactly a very rich nation comparatively to get a stripped down product at the same price...the phone is awesome...but i really thought it had 3g, any calls to the HTC support comes back with the same response 'sorry to inform you.....' I sincerely hope the limitation is a s/w one!!! any android experts might be able to confirm.....
[Click General] thacen:
another victim!

It is really sad, I was also ignorant of this. I am waiting for 3g service at my area to test it.:mad:
[Click General] manuvaidya:
hi guys, today when i was searching for some settings, i found out that htc tattoo indian version is 3G capable..... i have the proof also...

i will upload it for you those who dont believe in my words....:o
[Click General] kashishd:
Wowy!

Please do so fasttt!!!! i am glad...i hope its true!
[Click General] thacen:
Great news:D.. please do share your finding
[Click General] manuvaidya:
go to settings> about phone> in that look for baseband version.... there 3G is mentioned.... i hope its the same which says that tattoo is 3G enabled... :p
[Click General] kashishd:
did u get a chance to try it out?

Hey the baseband version goes like this

13.29.55.13G_etc...

the pessimist in me says it also looks like 13G....the specs on HTCs India website says its EDGE whereas the same specsheet for its UK website says its 3G/HSDPA....

I think the best way to do it is to pop a BSNL/MTNL card in it; which i tried doing although but given MTNLs history they might not have implemented 3G in the area I was trying it.
[Click General] manuvaidya:
but you could have had checked with BSNL's 3G sim and should have trid it whether 3G works or not.....

moreover this EDGE what its displaying in our tattoo is network type which the operators are offering the technology of service for us.... once they get upgraded to 3G, then we can say it for sure that whether its 3G enabled or not....

anyway sorry for disappointing you guys.... i was also as enthusiastic as you were while buying & until i came to know about this news..... hope for the best.... if there is no 3G in tattoo...no worries.... always google nexus is there no..... cheapest one with all the features... we all here can get one piece for their own from our relatives / friends..... not a big deal right ????? :cool:

just chill guys... why to break our heads for this 3G ????? :p
[Click General] kashishd:
tht makes me feel better

only mtnl in Mumbai no BSNL.

But yeah :) nexus one is the next one!! and also we have quite a while before we actually get 3G in full swing here...and with 2.1 upgrade coming for our device too very soon, theres lot more we can extract from the Tattoo, initially I too was disappointed but now I have digested the fact, only point of contention...HTC shouldve been clear on this!! and why would they do this to the super rich (pun intended) Indian customer.....

Happy tattooing!
[Click General] mainfram3:
Hi.

I'm preety new to Android/Tattoo (previous WM user) but can't you just pop a gold card in and flash a European rom ? Those have 3G for sure.

Once again, I'm a newbie in this OS and I'm not suggesting you go and brick your Tattoo with an Euro rom. Take this with a grain of salt :)
[Click General] kashishd:
Lol...that is a good idea, I am also pretty new (1.5 months old) to the Tattoo and do not want to try to flash a 3G rom on a device which may not have 3G band frequencies on its radio...lets wait for some expert to do it!! or me to get adventurous soon! :)
[Click General] crosspoint:
for me flashing the tattoo is absolutely senseless unless you will be able to get root access... i hope an expert will find a solution some day. it's really a shame that the tattoo-community is so small yet. the tattoo is a really cool device, imho much more handyer than a "normal" smartphone!
[Click General] diamond8:
If you do a search in Google you get 2 model numbers for htc Tattoo

A3232 and A3288. Is this the difference between 3G & non3G ?

Can anyone check out & tell.
[Click General] diamond8:
If u look in the htc Support site for User Guides, the filenames of various user manuals for tattoo for various markets give lot of info.:eek:

Belgium	No Youtube

Middle East & Africa	No Market

India	2G

Malasia & Vietnam	3G No Market

Singapore & HongKong	3G

Thialand & Philipines	2G

Looks like the hardware as well as the software is changing as per the market.

:rolleyes:
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
The battery compartment label says A3232 for me.
[Click General] diamond8:
So it seems that A3232 is the 2G version & A3288 is the 3G version.
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
wrt India? I guess so. Cos the US version of the Tattoo had 3G and it's PN was A3232 also.
[Click General] manuvaidya:
my tattoo also has A3232 label after removing battery.... its very unfortunate for us not to know about 3G capability of tattoo for sure....

where & when we will get a confirmation from whom about 3G support for tattoo ????
[Click General] diamond8:
htc (taiwan) has a chinese subsidiary called Dopod. Dopod sells tattoo in China.

Are the 2 model nos for phones manufactured in Taiwan & China.

Mine is also A3232 and on the box label 3G is not mentioned. Till now 3G is yet to launch at my place. So, kindly someone confirm whether it really support 3G or not.
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
One thing is for sure is that the specs for the Tattoo in the Indian HTC site as well as on the box does not mention 3G or HSDPA frequency. So it does not have 3G capability.
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
Guys, can everyone with confirmed 3G capability please post your baseband version here? I don't have 3G, and mine is 13.29.55.13G_3.55.07.20. I think that the 3G in the baseband version might mean that the phone has 3G(just a blind theory) and I want to check if this is correct or not.

[Click General] rs_saravanan:
Which country you are from? In India, HTC says that 3G is not enabled :confused:

Is it OS restriction or H/W restriction as well.

In different countries HTC have different features...I believe all this restrictions are only thru OS and the mobile device should be same for all countries ;)
[Click General] fluffboy:
model is a3288

and on the box it says "Network - HSDPA/WCDMA 900/2100, GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900"

cheating

I feel like cheating.. before I purchase this I have visited lots of reviews on many websites including many Indian Tech sites.. none mention about this Indian version.. Mine was online purchase so I thought, even the specification on the seller's site doesn't mentioned about 3G, 3G in Tattoo is ubiquitous.

I only found out the truth here, I am cheated by media:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Click General] rs_saravanan:
Even me too...with lot of investigation I decided on this phone and thought to keep this phone for next 3 years. I have short listed E72 and decided to buy this phone. Finally I fooled myself after coming to know that 3G is not there in Indian model.

Lucky fluffboy!! What is your Baseband version??
[Click General] fluffboy:

[Click General] thacen:
Go for a strike

Actually I was looking for a 3G phone with features like GPS, G-sensor, FM Radio and I thought Tattoo is the right phone. So, I purchased one online. Only after I visit this forum, I found out as I am cheated. This is really a cheating case, the HTC never disclosed about this Indian ver. in media. So, media and all tech review even in India never mentioned about this Tattoo ver. without 3G.

We, Indian are really victim of this cheating. I think we should do something, we need to go together and demand for replacement or something. Please comment.

[Click General] jurekdafunk:
hey together,

I imported my touch from india to germany, not knowing that there is no 3g on the indian version.

Baseband is also 13.29.55.13G_3.35.07.20.

But let me tell you i'm pretty sure there is no hardware difference between 3g and non-3g version. I'm an electronic engineer (not for microelectronics, but for high voltage:)), I can tell you that it would cost more to design and manufacture 2versions than produce one version with more features that are software-disabled.

I actually did not disassemble my tattoo, but I know from other phones (also HTC) that often enough, the whole phone is a one or two chip board. So there isn't a specific chip for 3g or something, it is highly integrated.

Those guys from support don't know too much about hardware. Think of their view, they sell (for what market policy ever) the phone as a non-3g. They aren't really interested in any customers that want their phone somehow. That would mean a lot of work, upgrades, mislead upgrades, waranty stuff ect. for them. So, the easiest way is to tell you there is no hardware in the phone that lets 3g work.

I hope there will be root access for the tattoo soon, we'll see what happens if we can upgrade the baseband firmware.

Regard from Germany,

Jurek
