[Hero, G2 Touch General] inertiax3:
Dear all,

I am using the HTC HERO for about a week now, however I would like to get some clarification on some things. Following are my assumptions, let me know if they are correct, thanx!

1. When the phone is turned on the very first thing that runs is the SPL, also known as the bootloader, right? How can you check the bootloader version?

2. The recovery menu (e.g RA-hero-v1.5.1) runs after the SPL and after the initial boot phase (which is handled by the ~2MB boot.img in the ROM update zips)

3. Is it possible to remove the HERO/HTC splash screen and see what is actually going on during the boot process?

4. Does the HTC HERO have an JTAG interface?

Thanx for all suggestions and answers!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hyp3rs4nd:
getting close

You can find the bootloader version by booting into it by holding the 'back' button as you press-and-release the power button. The version is labeled with HBOOT like 'HBOOT-1.76.0007'.

The recovery image is only accessed if you boot directly into it by holding the 'home' button as you press-and-release the power button.

And lastly (I still researching this too) the RUU programs update the SPLASH1, SYSTEM, USERDATA, BOOT, BOOTLOADER, RADIO_V2, and RECOVERY sections as reported on the Hero's screen during the process.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mancsoulja:
yes you can flash a new splash, check the software section theres a few there :p

&

pretty much all modern processors support jtag .... ;)

please help me. BRICKED SAMSUNG i780

BRICKED SAMSUNG i780

my i780 is completely dead.

Even there is no led light when i try to turn it on.

I think that the boot loader has something wrong(software problem, but i am not sure.)

Is there anyone in germany who can restore 'boot loader'?

When the boot loader is restored, i may fix Rom as well.

i have a mytouch that i am trying to make work with at&t can anyone help me out with this
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mwheeler2:
Just curious...

Just want to make sure you understand that because AT&T uses a different frequency (800/1900) than T-Mobile (1700/21000) for their 3G network, so you won't get 3G speed on your MT3G when you switch to AT&T... Much the same reason you can't get 3G speed on the T-Mobile network with an iPhone 3G.

Voice, text and 2G data (Edge) will still work as always, the limitation is 3G.

My guess is that you have a spare MT3G and want to use it on AT&T... if so, my suggestion would be to trade/sell the device and get something with 3G speed for the AT&T network.

Good luck.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Blubster:
One huge drawbacks of customizing the hardware buttons is that it disables the carkit functionnality : Navipanel does not open when the phone is put in its carkit, and bluetooth is not launched automatically.

Therefore, the question i am asking, how can we restore that functionality? Isn't there a way so that when you put the phone in its carkit, it is recognized as a button and we can launch a program with that?

I am just wondering...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] doganugurlu:
I am sorry about your brick.. But Google I/O device is not a 32a device, it's 32b :( The link below explains the issue in details.. Thanks to Xanadux (if i got it right.. )

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire

And it looks like it got bricked after the Radio update.. which could be because there was something specific hardcoded for Vodefone or supported by the device hardware, and when you flashed the Google IO Radio Image (which has a differeng GSM freq. as you can see from http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html) it bricked..

I hope someone comes up with a solution.. I was planning to flash my Google IO device with the HTC Magic Radio flash, I guess it's not the best idea..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 2of11:
Hm now that you say it, it seems quite obvious that the "Google" I/O Device would be a 32B, which is "Google" branded. Mh. Oh well, I guess for some reason I didn't see it. Well, it would of course be great if someone would come up with a solution, but at least I know now what I did wrong. Thanks for the hint about the different frequencies!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xanotha_1x:
Same boat....

Unfortunately me and you are in the same boat, I was trying to do the same to the same by flashing my spl 2010 to 2005 and just like that im stuck at boot logo with no access at all. . . tried all kinds of button, it still vibrates when you press power but thats all the love im getting from this magic.. . .by the way, it this is what i think it is.. . this will be brick # 2... . .f*ckin ey right?? . .well lets hope some genius come up with some crazy azz solution.. . ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] goo25:
Another Bricke HTC Magic

Same problem than 2of11, I also flashed the wrong radio image. Did you get any solution?

Cheers, there is always a reason to buy a new better phone.. but wich one will it be?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 2of11:
Sorry, but I did not find a solution, the phone stayed bricked and was then changed. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] white_gecko:
Hello,

I have a PVT 32B (HTC Magic Vodafone) and just updated the RADIO to the same version as I had before, just because HTC says it. now I wanted to flash the image with

$ fastboot update signed-google_ion-img-14721.zip

and got

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: 1.33.2010
Baseband Version.....: 2.22.19.26I
Serial Number........: XXXXXXXXX
--------------------------------------------
checking product... OKAY
checking serialno... OKAY
checking product... OKAY
checking version-bootloader... FAILED

Device version-bootloader is '1.33.2010'.
Update requires '1.33.2005' or '1.33.0005' or '1.33.3004' or '1.33.3005'.

So I searched for one of these bootloader versions and ended up at this post, which tells me to be careful :o I think my phone still works, because it booted correctly after RADIO update. Is it save to update the bootloader and load the image from htc.developers if I have a 32B? And if so are the "SPLs" from the post (#529019) of Amon_RA good for me, or where can I get the appropriate HBOOT version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 2of11:
So I was also working with a Vodafone Magic, but if I remember this correctly, mine was a 32A, where as the Google I/O device is a 32B. So maybe the hardware changed over time? In any case, be VERY careful and have someone confirm that you are indeed handling the same kind of device as the Google I/O. There should be a "Google" branding on the back of 32B devices, but I haven't been toying around with this for a while and may provide outdated information. Have you checked this link?

wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire

For what it's worth, I was able to use the Engineering SPLs that were posted here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019

without any trouble. Keep in mind that maybe we are talking about different devices, though.

Hope that helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] white_gecko:
Yes I'm sure, that I have a 32B and in Wikipedia article to "HTC Magic" I've read, that the I/O has also the 32B. But could there also be other differences, which could cause that I brick the phone?

Now I have installed a different Image so I'm not in such big temptation to update the HBOOT, but I would also like to try the developer images.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Aaron!:
Well the good news, guys, is that the G1/dream has been de-bricked successfully, and due to the similarity of the hardware it's a safe bet that the mytouch/magic is not far off. The bad news is that it will likely require someone who has specialized equipment who knows what they are doing.
[HD2 General] sectorlord:
How to go to the Falshing ROM ? I got the Image from HTC.. and told me to do Vol Down plus Power on..

But I cant make it work ?

Any trick ?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
Turn the phone off completely.

Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
That's how you reset to the factory defaults.

What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.
[HD2 General] Archer:
What does that do then?
[HD2 General] bR00k:
its called "hard-reset" if you do this.

you can reset your device.

[HD2 General] Archer:
I described a hard reset. I want to know what the other described method does.

your forgetting the language problem i think

Many of us are struggling to find the exact words or terms.

But i read your post and sorry for the blame
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] koen-ronse:
I'm from Belgium. Here we speak Dutch, French and a bit German. Most of my English I've learned here and on the internet in general by reading and even now at the moment my online Google translator is opened... :) So no excuse for that...

But even with the exact words it's difficult to find the right thread or post if you're searching something. And that was not a problem about 2 years ago. That's started with all the new users now. It takes a little work, but if everybody does a little effort, this forum can be a strong instrument again... :rolleyes:

Before htc was only buyed by people who were really interested. Now htc is a more commercial product. People buy it and thereafter they can not work with it. They are not interested, they just want that it works. So they don't read, don't search... They just want an instant solution or link for there problem... Result: 100's questions of the same type... It's really demotivating for people who love there device and want to learn and share knowledge here...

I really hope that mods can do something at that, but i'm afraid it's a hopeless situation. I'm allready happy if I can prevent somebody of opening a second useless thread, even the first one is allready one to much... :(

Hello all -

I would like to know your option about the Touch Pro 2. Actually I've a Diamond and I really like it, but I'll replace it by Touch Pro 2.

What do you think about it? Is a good change? Have you did it before?

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
I went from the Diamond to the Touch Pro2. No regrets. The screensize, hardware keyboard, and performance destroys the Diamond.

But at this moment, you really have to consider the HD2. Also, with Windows Mobile 7 right around the corner, should people even still buy Windows Phones right now?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fabio Gamer:

Go for Rhodium definitely! it´s a great device!

Of course if you are looking for a hardware keyboard upgrade, if not better to go for Diamond 2...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NoWorthWhile:
Orb, I'm not even sure the Diamond II is a good option... My dad has got one while I have the Rhodium. I upgraded from the original Diamond, & as someone already mentionned it, both the Diamond II & TP II blow the Diamond away.

Now, having played with the HD2 already, and being impressed by its speed, I would recommend that on too. But only if you got a pocket large enough for tht 4.3' screen, and if no keyboard suites you well.

If you want a keyboard, TP II, hands down. Hell, I wouldn't hesitate bying it full price again if god forbid, it was stolen. If you don't want a keyboard, HD2. Don't even bother with the Diamond II.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Nobody outside of Microsoft or HTC knows the answers to your questions. Target date according to leaked info points to sometime in 2010.

Battery performance is better than the Diamond. It's probably on bar with the official extended battery of the Diamond.

You should have a Super USer Permisions app in the app drawer. See if the permisions for the app are in there. If they are, long press and delete them.

What all are you needing to push? just the APK?

If you are just going to use the APK, mount your SD card to your PC. Copy the APK to it. Then go in through the Astro explorer that you should have preinstalled with the ROM. go to your SD card, click on the APK and open it with Program Installer.
