Hi,

Just let you guys know, I figure it out now. I'm using OpenSuSE 10.3 and my problem was I did not configure the interface.

Thanks a lot.

Mmm... I tested on CentOS 5.4 and it doesn't work. CentOS 5.4 see HTC Tattoo as usb-storage.

You need to enable "Mobile network sharing" found at the end of "Wireless controls". I have software version 1.67.405.6.

When connecting the USB, a small pop up window asks you to select whether you want it to act as a USB storage device or a networking device.

Does anyone have the source for Amon_Ra's recovery? I've pm'd him many times with no response. He is using cyanogens open source right? I would expect since he's using open source from cyanogen that he'd happily share his work the same way?

And no I'm not trying to take his work and repost it as my own, I'm actually working on building the recovery binary for a different device and need to reference his source as the other device doesn't have a keyboard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crzyruski:
Ditto

Me too!

Any help would be appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bpedman:
Yeah, I am working on a recovery image for another device too...would love to get the source!!!

Basically I am looking to buy a PDA or smartphone or something. Hope this is the right place to ask. I will NOT be using it to place calls so carrier does not matter. Only will be used as a hobby device for modding and using WIFI internet on the road when I do not bring my laptop.

I was hoping that prices would be down on PDAs since many people are basically using an all in one phone that takes the place of a PDA.

I am hoping for it to be about $100 or less. I have seen some on eBay that look like they would work. EX: HTC Dash

What I would like it to have is:

Windows Mobile 5 at least, preferably 6.

WIFI-ready

GPS

Java. So I can add java games and apps.

Also, if I get this HTC Dash Tmobile it comes with WinMobile 5 but I have read you can flash a new rom on Dash 3g to 6 or 6.5. Has anyone done it with Dash?

What is the best device with a good community behind it?

Does the type of device I get limit my ability to run certain programs? Like by resolution or if I get a touch screen vs physical keyboard.

Does a Smartphone have any benefit over a PDA besides being able to make calls?

Would a smartphone be locked down by the carrier in the case of the Tmobile phone?

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to get the most for my money but it is a unique situation since I do not need to make phone calls.

Hi & welcome,

The s620 is a good choice for $100 should be easy to find as in the UK they go for about £100.

Lots of modding can be done Excalibur forum 6.1 & 6.5 available.

Regards carrier they will be locked down unless stated by seller unlocked, in the forum noted STICKY there are 2 x unlocking services available that are cheap and reliable.

The Marketplace has a couple of s620's available.

Smartphones are more limited by software but is still a big choice available

There rock solid devices and work very well for cheap layout.

Hope that helps.
[General Topics] bigzdog:
Yes that is very informative.

The Excalibur/Dash is the same phone, just rebranded for TMobile?

Also, if I get a locked phone can I use this in the forums "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip" to install WM6.5 Roms and basically any app that will work with an Excalibur? Or would I be better off finding an unlocked phone from the start.

Thanks for the help. I am just getting started with smartphones
[General Topics] stylez:
Excalibur/Dash same just like you say different names due to carriers.

When i said locked meant as SIM, with regards flashing a new ROM some phones are just very much a plug in and flash and others will need SP_AllowCertificateInstall & SDA_ApplicationUnlock info here

Take a look through the STICKY as will give you an idea of what can be done ;)

Happy to help. :)

Edit: Forgot to say when looking to purchase make sure the model has Wi-Fi, as there are a few models that don't.
[General Topics] bigzdog:
Thanks alot for all the help.

Now I better understand what locking means in regards to the SIM card use.

But for me since I am not going to use the phone part. A locked vs unlocked phone should not affect me either way. Am I right?
[General Topics] galaxys:
^Right, U don't need it for WiFi use only...
[General Topics] bigzdog:
Great. I think that is all I need for now until I buy something.

Thanks again
[General Topics] bigzdog:
I think a HTC Touch is more of what I would like because it has the touchscreen, so it seems easier to use.

A new problem I have found is that some phones say they have GPS but it is not true GPS with a chip in the phone, but gets location from cell towers.

What is the best way to lookup if a phone has true GPS so I can use it without cell service? Where it gets my location from satellites.

Would looking on the htcwiki tell me what kind of GPS a device has?
[General Topics] stylez:
Gonna be outa the $100 but best way is Device Database
[General Topics] bigzdog:
Why do you say that because I have not bought anything yet?

Or do you think it is not going to be worth the money for what I want to do?

I really appreciate the help because like I said, I don't really know what I need. Just what I want it to do.

PDAdb is very useful. Shows that the CDMA of touch version of the touch does not have wifi or GPS.
[General Topics] stylez:
Touch\Elf is a PPC so generally higher price, pretty much same spec as Excalibur but with Touchscreen, will give you more choice on software as the market bigger on PPC, yeah i was just being comparative on the $100 mark not spec ;)

Take a good look around the forum see what kinda device you like and check the specs out on pdadb.net
[General Topics] bigzdog:
I'm sorry about all these questions but I am a little confused now about the Titan/Mogul/XV6800 GPS and aGPS.

On the XDADeveloperWIKI says aGPS requires a data connection but..

a GPSOne whitepaper tells that the MSM7500 chip in the xv6800 supports standalone GPS so it would work for me since I would not have any service or coverage.

Also what I understand that I would need to flash a new rom for the GPS to work, but I still don't know if I need a data plan after the flash.

It's looking nice, but I think you should make the icon font color darker in the "All Applications" window so that it's easier to read (more contrast).

Talk about an accident! The demo version of Scrabble included with our AT&T Tilt 2 phones can be unlocked with one change. Navigate to the following folder: \Program Files\EA\Scrabble 1.59.10 and look for the file called Config. Open it (should open with Word by default) and change PurchaseAct_DemoEnabled from 1 to 0. Save (not Word format) and load up the game. Enjoy!

Apparently the Config file sets the program into demo mode and changing it unlocks it. I found it by accident, and it worked. Not sure what the other settings do though.

Now if I could only port the program to my wife's Fuze... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gmanunited:
Maybe someone can post the files. I have the tilt but all bloatware gone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
yes! registry tweaks are legal. post the cabs. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pistou:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
send me the cab and ill try it out. :P its prolly in \windows somewhere as att does with their junk then it auto installs with uc or something.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] FrancisB1:
That would be great to have the cab file.

Would you please upload it for XDA or send it by mail.

Thanks for all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Doinshots:
Did not work for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebigrhinoone:
got it

At first it didnt work for me either. I went back in and changed the PURCHASE ACT ENABLE value to 0 as well and now it works. This is the very next line down from the first mentioned change. Just to recap, change both values to 0 and then it works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brknseals:
Seems like that one works, don't see any message...but then again I never tried the scrabble until now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
I tried this and it didnt work for me having the ATT tilt 2, BUT dont know if you forgot this paret or if this is only for the Tilt 2, but if you change the next line under it "PurchaseAct_Enable from 1 to 0 and save it (Not word format), and then start the game, WinMo might give you an error click dont send but relaunch the game, and all is well :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tempest790:
Yes, I had to change those as well. Also, after a few days, the game said I needed to purchase it. I increased the numbers for the time checks and all is working again. I don't know how long the time is formatted though (ie. seconds, minutes, etc.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rkub:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
heres the ext if you want to cook it into a rom. i already changed the config to disable demo mode. and im working on making it into a cab. havent figured it out yet. ill post it later if someone hasnt already.

this is still legal. its an exploit and not a hack.

edit: dont use the download from this post if you dont know what to do with ext/kitchen files. use the cab in the next post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
this is the first program cab ive ever created. i botched my first try pretty bad so i dont know how well this will work. someone will have to tell me because im stuck on stock rom till i can get hardspl flashed so i cant test it myself.

i also tried to keep the att changed icon cause it looks better than the original.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tovarish:
if you leave your doors unlocked and get stuff stolen then i am sure that the cops will laugh at you. :D

As such whether something is legal or not can only be tested in a court unless there is a past ruling on it or explicitly stated in law. Morality of course is something completely different than legality.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pistou:
give me a break

So, let me get this straight: you make the mistake of leaving your doors unlocked, someone comes in and burgles you (no, it's not robbery, it's burglary) -- are you really going to try to say that those people didn't commit a crime? Yes, you would have been stupid to leave your doors unlocked, but you did not make it legal for those people to burgle you, you simply made it easy for them to break the law.

Please stop trying to rationalize an illegal act simply because you want to commit it.

wow.... I'm still laughing as I write this.... Be careful though, we don't want to start the Revolutionary war II.
[Hero CDMA General] VoXHTC:
I'm not scared. They have the kernel we need, they get all the fancy "shmancy" phones before we do. They won't share it and I'm pretty sure I know why so if they can't take a little poke then I suppose they should "bugger off!"
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
They do have the kernel? I thought so but wasnt sure.
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
uhh... i'm a bit confused about the whole kernel thing regarding the hero.

i know that htc released the source code for the kernel... but i'm assuming that was the 2.6.27 right?

so i know that android 2.1 uses .29 to work, so how did the GSM hero people get that kernel and why don't we have a working .29 kernel for our phones?

please clarify?

:D
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
I believe its because they had the original leak of the 2.1 sense with the .29 kernel built in
[Hero CDMA General] VoXHTC:
YEAH! and they're just jealous that we have Obama and Starbucks so they're not sharing.
[Hero CDMA General] kendong2:
well, it was not us that chose a network where your phone is tied to your contract... lmao'd when i heard that there are no simcards on cdma networks... come on guys, you can't be serious?

[Hero CDMA General] gcardy:
I would like to try to put together a custom kernel for my Hero. But I am having trouble locating the .29 source. I synced up with http://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common but that is the .27 branch. And most of the other stuff looks to be .27 as well. Is the only place to get the .29 source from the GSM hero? Thanks for any help.
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
I believe that is the only place to get the source. HTC hasn't released the cdma source yet. Is that our issue? Isn't it possible to use the gsm source?
[Hero CDMA General] gcardy:
found something helpful out

so when i run 'make menuconfig' front eh root directory of the HTC released .27 Hero source, under system type "Qualcomm MSM" is the system type. So when browsing through the link that I posted to the kernel git repo I found that there is a MSM branch, and it looks like it have some references to .29 and later kernel verions. Ill explore further and let you guys know.

Hi folks,

I am running an unlocked Telus HTC Hero on the Bell HSDPA Mobile Network and I want to root my phone so I can install and use the Market Enabler app (among others).

My "About phone" info is:

Model Number: HTC Hero

Firmware version: 1.5

Kernel version: 2.6.27-0078c992 htc-kernel@and18-2 #851

Build number: 2.73.661.46 CL#74632 release-keys

Software version: 1.0.0.A6288

I have read several forum and blog posts and am really confused now as to how to do this...downgrade, upgrade...??

Most posts I have come across seem to refer to older versions of firmware or it may be that I am just a moron--I'm open to that as well :P

Thanks all!

aus
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auslander1138:
No takers yet eh?

Can anyone at least point me in the right direction with a few "updated" links? I tried a few methods, but am getting stimied at different points--maybe I need to downgrade my firmware first or something?

Thanks all!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnkn:
I'm using an unlocked Telus Hero with Rogers right now. I've just been using the stock firmware for a week now. I've been reading a lot of posts about flashing and rooting too, but it seems like doing so will "downgrade" the Telus Hero because the versions in the custom ROMs are lower. But I've read people successfully running Modaco 3.0 on it without problems.

I'm gonna get a bigger microSDHC card this weekend and mess around with it and see how it goes. I think as long as you do a nandroid backup, you can revert back to the stock firmware\settings if something doesn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHorus:
I'm not going to hold your hand through the process - there is more than enough information on these forums. I know there is a lot there, but it looks like you have just had a look and went "waaaa too much to read, someone give me the easy way", rather than made a real attempt to understand it.

However, I'm sure many people (myself included) would be happy to help if you are stuck with something and have *specific* questions.

Why not take a good read through the guide and post again with questions about what part of the process you actually don't understand?

I promise you that all the information *is* on the forums, but you have to be willing to help yourself a little bit first :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pananza:
Ok, this is the recepit I used to "root" my brand new unlocked HTC Hero GSM version with build 2.73.x.x.x:

FOR GSM phones only

Prerequisits:
- Install ADB drives if neccecary (usb_drivers folder)
- Verify installation by connecting phone to PC (USB)
- Enter tools folder
- Type adb-windows shell
- You should get shell access from the phone
- Type exit to quit shell

1. Copy recovery.img to SD card

2. Flash new recovery image
- Install flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk
- Copy to SD card and start with a packet installer
- Run application
- First make backup of current recovery image (click backup button)
- Change path in textbox to /sdcard/recovery.img
- Click "flash recovery image" button to flash new recovery image
- If you get "Flash complete" message, reboot phone.

3. Backup current ROM
- Shutdown phone
- Power up phone by holding Home button while clicking Power. Keep holding down Home for a few seconds.
- Use the NANDROID BACKUP menu option to backup current rom

4. Root phone (optional)
- Boot recovery image as above (Home + Power)
- While phone is in recovery mode open cmd.exe on PC and enter tools\ folder
- Type the following commands:
adb-windows shell
mkdir systmp
mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /systmp
cat /systmp/bin/sh > /systmp/bin/su
chmod 4755 /systmp/bin/su
reboot
- Enjoy rooted phone

5. Install Market Enabler (optional)
- You can now install MarketEnabler_3.0.4.apk to gain access to full Android Market

All I used is included in this zip file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TMP4DO01

This worked on my unlocked GSM phone. If you want to try, do so at your own risk.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auslander1138:
...awesome tips--thanks for the concise write-up!

I had started down this same path and got off-track with the errors encountered during backup, but this has motivated me to give it another try.
