I too have a problem updating to the 26i version. however i rooted at 1.5 using the one click root method and ive since switched from cyan 1.4 recovery and cyan roms to amon recovery and dwang roms. No matter which recovery i use, the 26 update flashes without an error but shows up as the same radio ive had all along (1.22.14.11) i made a thread about it but noone seems to have an answer. Sorry I couldnt help, but at least bumped up your thread and maybe someone can help us.
[G1 General] szob:
Thanks for sharing!

At least I know I am not alone here with this problem.

Since it's Christmas and I have some more time, I decided to do a Nandroid backup and wipe my phone back to the original rom with 1.0 firmware (RC7).

I used my goldcard and I flashed it in a few minutes. I logged back into 1.0 firmware with the original bootloader and recovery console.

Next I put everything on my goldcard, flashed the recovery CM1.4 from the terminal, went to the bootloader, flashed update.zip with the newest radio 2.x from HTC, everything went smooth. Reboot and again NO change of the firmware. Tried a few more times flash the radio and HardSPL together to no avail. I restored my backup and found myself back to square one.

One think I noticed, and I wonder if you get the same, is that when I flash the radio, the phone reboots back to the recovery console and shows "Formating Cache..." message. It does not tell me anything like Please reboot, just this message. Meanwhile I can move the cursor up and down the recovery menu, so the phone has not hang up. It just sits at the recovery until I reboot it. Once I waited 30 minutes to see if it reboots itself and it does not. So, I press Home+Back and then it reboots fully and after loging in I check the radio and NO change.

So, I wonder if your phone does the same?

Oliwer

PS.

T-Mobile G1 - w/ ROOT

DREA110 PVT 32B

HardSPL 10.95.3000

Recovery image: HTC Android 1.6 (from HTC website)

Class IV 8GB SD Card w/ Ext 4 Partition and Swap partition
[G1 General] AdrianK:
That's a huge wall of text, and it's Christmas so I'm a little merry :P

When flashing the radio image w/ Cy's recovery you must flash as an update.zip using alt-s, press whatever key you need to press to confirm and reboot using home+back. If you use flash any zip or use the trackball to reboot the radio image (or SPL) will not reboot in the required way to complete installation.
[G1 General] szob:
I tried all possible ways. Just a few minutes ago I went to CM1.4 recovery, used the update from update.zip, pressed Home+Back, rebooted back to recovery console, pressed Home+Back again, booted to CM4.2.10, punched the PIN code, checked the About Phone section and I am still with 1.22.x radio firmware.

This phone simply refuses to update the firmware in any known way.

So, my plan now is to un-root it back to the state I got it 2 months ago and return it to the operator and request upgrade of radio, since Donut with an old radio is basically useless. People simply do not understand half of what I say even if I speak slowly and quietly.

Cheers,

Oliwer
[G1 General] Ace42:
You have to press

Cam+power and it will show radio

....

In settings that radio has nothing to do with one installed...Do you know that the radio does?

It allows custom roms like cyan to be installed while keeping root access. The rom allows some tmo apps like account to still be used here in the states.
[G1 General] speedysilwady:
yes oliwer i get the same formatting cache message but nothing else happens. i tried in cyans recovery and amons recovery using only button shortcuts and not the trackball. i always named the radio update.zip, but still no luck. Im not sure if the 26i radio requires a certain version before it can upgrade, like maybe i have to upgrade to another radio before i can get to 26i? im not quite sure...ive run out of ideas on what to do. I dont have a warranty or anything on my g1. does the fact im using a donut rom on a cupcake radio have anything to do with it? if i had a cupcake rom and upgraded the radio to 26i from there would it work? i know these might sound like dumb ideas but im still relatively new to the scene and im running out of ideas as to why this is happening or why i cant solve it..
[G1 General] speedysilwady:
bump? anyone have a solution for us? or advice?

i just realized that i had android 1.1 with the 1.22.14.11 radio when i first got my phone, when t-mobile gave me the 1.5 update, i was still stuck on the same radio for some reason. After that I used the one click method to root and ive been on dwang donut rom ever since with the same dated radio...Ive tried using cyans recovery to flash and still no luck, no error, it says its updated but when i check the baseband or stock spl its still the same radio. I never went for a danger spl when i rooted because i was afraid to brick so i cant fastboot a radio update. I asked in another topic if it was possible to use the "flash_image" command in terminal to flash the radio but i dnt think itll work and i dont wanna risk it. If anyone has any advice or a possible solution please keep us updated.

Thank you!
[G1 General] Exodeity:
Turn your phone off, hold the camera button down, and power on your phone.

What do you see?
[G1 General] speedysilwady:
each time before and after the flashing of the radio using cyans or amons recovery image id get the same rainbow screen saying

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.14.11

Serial0

so im still stuck on the Android 1.1 radio.
[G1 General] szob:
I do not know, really, why the radio refuses to upgrade. Since my last message I have read tons of posts on this issue and nearly ALL people can upgrade the radio firmware easily, just like the SPL. Somehow, I can upgrade the SPL to whatever I want, but not the radio. Very strange indeed and no luck so far.

Oliwer
[G1 General] szob:
Exactly the same in my case. Except they upgraded straight to 1.6. Before the upgrade I have 1.1 firmaware and quality of voice was perfect. After the upgrade things went south.

Same thing with me.

Well, I installed HardSPL and it worked despite the old radio. HardSPL offers FASTBOOT and I use it at times. This is safe, at least for me.

Well, I did, but it does not work since flash_image updates partitions and G1 does not have radio partition. So, when you try to update the radio.img it tells you no radio partition. It is only possible for Roger G1 since it has radio partition unlike all other G1s and there you could upgrade the radio with flash_image.

Yeap! I just practised how to un-root the phone straight to 1.6 with the original SPL and recovery and I was able to restore my phone to the state before rooting and I plan to give it back to my operator under warranty and ask to get this radio fixed. I will do it next week. I will report if the authorized service will be able to upgrade the radio.

hi,

i have a question about the core player using the blank screen function as a hotkey. everytime pressing the hotkey for blank screen while the player is playing music with the screen turned off... so far so good but when i press the hotkey again the the coreplayer closes but the music is still playing. so i have to open the core player again to change the music or to turn it off. now my question: is it possible that i press the hotkey button (while the player is playing music with the screen turned off) and i come back to the coreplayer screen instead close the program?

regards

zooyorke
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pilik:
Hi

How did you manage to set hotkey? I always get #E5 value, no matter which key I press...

Previously I used CP in iPAQ914, had no problems with blankscreen you have. If I managed the hotkey settings, maybe I could find sollution to your problem...
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I'm creating a new theme, but I have problems with this file. I followed some "how to" guides, but I still don't get it.

This image should make round corners, but I always get a wrong-stretched image. I have been working on this for some days and I don't get, maybe I'm too stupid, can somebody help me?

PD: of course I used drae9patch and other method, but , no way
[Android Themes] david1171:
just make it 320 pixels in width and you can avoid signing it.
[Android Themes] opasha:
draw9patch is useless without having eclipse set up. eclipse is what allows for the stretching to be maintained. however, like david said, you can just scale the image to that width without having to worry about using the more complicated methods of stretching/compiling a .9 png.
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I thought about this too, what, you know, that's the easy way and I wanted the hardest and best way, but I didn't know that eclipse is necessary for this. Now, I know, and until I learn about eclipse, I will use your method.

Thanks to all!. It's nice to have guys like you here
[Android Themes] freekyfrogy:
hehe, you're doing what I did with Darkstar :) I can edit the .9.png for you, but what'd be the fun of that? you've got to edit the .9.png so that it only stretches the area between the black curves. If you've already done that then the problem is how you're using eclipse. It is really tricky to get eclipse set up to work right, but you need to do it eventually if you plan on making themes. Just keep reading through the tutorial and you'll get it eventually ^_^ It took me a long time to figure it out at first too :)
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
Of course, I'm using this idea, remember I asked for help by private message, because I think this size fits better with the widgets in your theme, but I didn't get answer, so, I decided to make my own theme and ask for help in a own threat. I was going to give you credit in the future theme's thread for the idea.

My problem was, that I didnt use eclipse, that's why I got crazy. So, until I learn how to use it, I'll use a 320px png.

Thanks
[Android Themes] Barina:
if you use 320px width then in landscape mode it'll looks bad..
[Android Themes] david1171:
when it is an image like that without much detail it will look fine, i know because i did something similar to what the OP was wanting to do. if you do it with an image that had a lot of small detail then it will look odd in landscape.
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
What Barina said has sense, but I tried and, as David said, it still look fine.

So it works, thanks, again

You can see the results here, later I'll post a screen of landscape too

[HD2 General] slewis1972:
Hi

I am currently trying to find the best deal in the UK for the HD2. I dont really want to pay more than £30 a month, and hence am happy to a point to pay some money upfront.

So far, I think its mobile phones direct, with t-mobile combi 30 with web and walk over 18 months. I just have to pay £54.99 up front plus I can get £30 cashback off topcashback.

I wondered though if anyone gas found a better deal?

I tried o2, and even with a open discount I have through my work, I have to stump up alot of money. Vodafone deals dont seem so great.

Thoughts?

Scott
[HD2 General] pympster:
Im doing expansys and then simplicity, it's cheaper in the end!
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Buying direct from T-Mobile may be a good option. I've found that if you ring them up you can usually get better terms than they advertise on their website. I've just ordered an HD2 from them; £36 a month for 18 months, but the phone is free, and that includes 1000 minutes, 500 texts, and their Web'n'walk Plus internet service (which has a 3GB per month limit rather than the standard 1, and permits tethering). If I'd gone with the standard Web'n'walk package I could have got unlimited texts.

And I'm not very good at haggling - you could probably get a better deal than I did! :o
[HD2 General] onisuk:
I'm on an 18 Month contract with o2 35 a month

600 mins

1000 texts

unlimited 3G internet

[HD2 General] pympster:
@onisuk, was that through the carphone warehouse though?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I've just had my "unlimited internet" from O2 cut off for hitting 1GB of data in a month. :(
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
kinda makes you wonder how they're allowed to get away with describing something as "unlimited" doesn't it!
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Thanks for the heads up on the topcashback Scott - Tmobile are really gonna have to take a beating to match this when I come to upgrade from my Diamond (MDA IV)!!!

I'll be offloading the Diamond to Mazuma too - £103 cash or £113 in Argos vouchers. Probably easier than TeaBAy!
[HD2 General] onisuk:
nope direct from O2 !
[HD2 General] pympster:
But it's not on their site!? I'm very confused how to find out where to buy it, my iPhone is out of contract in a couple of days and so not sure to hold out and see if they can give me a better deal with the phone rather than haggling over simplicity!
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
they're available to existing customers, just call up o2 and speak to upgrades or retentions. It probs won't be available for new customers for a while so won't be on the website for a while.

Hope that helps!
[HD2 General] onisuk:
yep like stated above speak to retentions ( say youre going to leave) and they have the power to offer you a deal, the usual sales guys dont !
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
Tried this several times but each time I get "we cant give you a deal yet as untill its in stock we cant work out the cost to us..." exasperated doesn't quite cover it!

HI QLL

Thank you very much for THE great pplications on this forum

3 questione:

1- Is t possible to customize the notification icons (missed calls, sms, mail...) on the home page on the Max Manila?

2-Is there a way to put a short cut to toggle (ON-OFF) wifi, bluetooth and phone on the home page ?

3-Is it possible to put a short cut on the home page to switch between the different sound themes in the phone (normal. meeting, loud...)?

Thank you for the answer

Hi folks,

Like the title says,

I'm new to winmo after a hiatus of over 4 years. Loving my HD2/Leo (after sorting out some teething problems!).

I know there are hundreds if not thousands of apps that will work with the Leo but I would love to hear from seasoned winmo users; what are the first 5 3rd party apps you load up on your new device ......and more importantly, why?

Freeware is always good but I don't mind spending money on an application that does the job right.

So, what are your "Desert Island Apps"?

The apps you can't live without?

The apps that show off the functionality of Windows Mobile?

The apps that just "get things done" & of course the apps that are good for relaxation/entertainment..

Do tell!

Cheers,

I have just 1 app. which has travelled with me for a long, long time and has seen many devices, started with the old Windows CE Philips Velo: PhatNotes.

Oh yeah, and ListPro (of cause ...)

The rest is subject to changes. Changes that are mainly influenced by the device I'm using. Right now, I'm trying to substitute as many apps as possible for finger-friendly apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weareborg:
Cheers folks. Yes, Finger Friendly is good!! I like how the new 1.48 ROM seems to have pinch/zoom in more old apps. PhatNotes and List Pro I have to check out!

Keep 'em coming.

For me right now

1 - Mobipocket Reader/AlReader - For eBooks

2 - Pocket Informant - For PIM and GTD

3 - The Channer/CorePlayer - For Watching TV (when it works) and Media files

4 - Sugarsync - For Files on the go/sync'd to work computer

5 - YoMo Media - For RSS feeds

Above list subject to dramatic change based on suggestions in this thread!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Of cause, how could I forget Mobipocket. A pity though that browsing by tapping on the screen is such a hassle with the responsive screen of the HD2. Although I defined a big margin, I couldn't help selecting text so now and then instead of tapping to go page up or down.

But don't let me kidnap this thread... keep the suggestions comming
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weareborg:
Just on that appelflap, in mobipocket, if you go to menu>options>general and under "Default selection action" change that to "None", its then a lot easier to change pages.

I've mine set up with the orientation and full screen icons visible at the bottom on app start (uncheck "Use Windows Mobile 2005 Softkeys" in toolbars tab to see these).

I then use icons to rotate screen and then enable full screen and then it works fine.

I can't go back to "normal screen" from here but its easy to hit the home button and open app again to get back to non full screen mode. I usually just hit home when I finish reading anyway and leave it in the background until I get a chance to read again.

Hope that makes sense and helps!

But anyway, on with the indispensible app finding! :)

Like appelflap said, keep those suggestions coming, especially for noobies (and there are a lot I think since Leo came out!!).
