[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
The press release from tmobile states that 2.1 will be coming to all devices that will support it. Meaning without root size wise, which Im thinking may toss the g1 out for 2.1, but maybe not 2.0. But I was specifly told also that 2.1 will be released for this mytouch, and it is also, obviously, the first to be released with 1.6 donut on it.

Also.. When you get the format disk error.. are you looking down the list on the **** drive to the bottom where it says Physical/removable? I found that the only time it gives me the format error is when I open it in hex where it says Logical rather then physical. If you go to the bottom and hit the physical one, and paste and save I can still open the sd card on the pc and phone.... BUT, it still will not downgrade.

EDIT- Since im still new to this.... Ive noticed that most rooting takes downgrading first. Now, does this mean that the ohones NAND's are set up like say the PSP where the IPL files can be changed to only allow certain firmware? Can it be that having the first phone with a base rom of 1.6 make it to where we cant go down past 1.6? Im still teetering on weather I should put it back in the box and use my G1 till the offcial 2.0/2.1 comes out or keep trying. But I woul dhate damaging it trying to get it to do something it cant.

Thanks to anyone else who gets one to test, I I had the money I would buy a dev one just for this purpose.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsimages:
If you are referring to the Fender edition as "the first to be released with 1.6 donut on it" then you are incorrect.

I have a non fender edition that I purchased 2 weeks ago with donut 1.6, DCR92 build.

Apparently there are some rooting issues with DCR92/1.6donut/1.33.0007spl....from what I understand.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
my SPL ends with 0013, not sure how much of a diffrence that makes. But I honestly thought i read in these forums that this was the first made with 1.6 and not updated to. but maybe I read wrong. All I know is that no trick works as of yet. Ill start again tonight when the kids go to sleep, but for it being a 32a board, I dont really see to many roms I wana try lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
So when you make the gold card does your phone read it or it stops before it loads the file from it? it sounds like the gold card is not created corectly...

The android version is irelevant so is the radio. to load anything, you need engeneering SPL. That will allow you to load any image,(radio,boot,recovery,system...) fastboot with full functionality.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
it goes through most of the process of reading the sappimg file and once the prgress bar reaches the end and it goes through checking and all that it stops with the error. Also trying to get into fastboot it give the error that a perfected spl gives so done on both accounts. Ive now made what I think is a working goldcard but dont know if I want to proceed if im going to destroy it if I can get anything back on it.

also... I think im done with it for now till a smarted person gets this done. I really believe that this 1.6 version is a bit different then others, and also the spl seems to be a pain in the arse. I really cant afford a bricked phone, much less one I waited a very long time to get. I tried lol, but in the end my ADD defeated me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
I've tried the engineering SPL as well, in my case it reads, checks signature etc, but I always get the error "invalid model id!"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Yeah I think we may have goten the short end of the stick on this one. That would explain the strange radio/spl configuration in it also.

All I hope is that if we cant get a simple root, that we at least get 2.1 with live wallpapers.

Ill try again soon. but if you cant even get the spl to flash there really is no point. Have you tried all this through ADB.. maybe booting from the recovery and flashing over...

EDIT-- oh yeah DUH... thats why we cant change the spl.. have to make gold card to flash to use adb to flash lol.. to many rules
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebluecoat:
Yeah, making a gold card is the most ridiculously hulked out brute way to root a phone. I tried to explain it to my roomates, I'm like "Yo apparently, I gotta take this SD card, format it, mount it, go through a command prompt, type in a few lines of code, grab a number, take that number, reverse it through a crypto toolbox, take that code, replace the first two digits with zeros, take that code upload it to a site, grab that image save it. Then grab a hex editor open my sdcard in it with read only off, open the goldcard image, copy and paste offsets 000-0017 save. And it's like....

Dude... This isnt even the ACTUAL rooting yet. I thought the iPhone jailbreaking was difficult back in the day LOL. Im very close to returning the phone because unless its just super easy for a dev to just re-write to compensate for us, I really have no interest in waiting around because it seems like only two people own this here, LOL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kefs:
To those thinking about returning the phone.. just chill for a few days.. the bright minds here will figure it out.

To those thinking about not even rooting so they can keep particular apps (such as the new music player), just chill for a few days after root, and the music app will be available for easy replacement.

I don't have one of these sweet fender magics, but i do have a 32A.. flashrec worked perfect for mine, so that's as far as my knowledge goes.. Good luck!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
There is easier way to make a working GoldCard... You need WinMo phone though... I had HTC Touch so that is how I created mine... GOt a license for QMAT and generated the card straight on the phone then just copy the file over and done...

http://forum.revskills.de/

Try asking around there... They might be able to get something worked out...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
My only Winmob phone takes mini sd as opposed to micro. That was the first thing I tried. But I think the goldcard method isnt going to work if none of the files we need recognize or device ID. Somethign was defantly changed in this version.

Since its a limited edition, the first thing the sales person is supposed to tell you is "this phone does not qualify for our 14 day return policy" it was the first thingn I was told after paying for it lol.

The music app has already been ported so not worried about that.

Im more worried on the fact that I dont wont a bricked phone because im trying to do things that arent made for it.

And like said before, it seems like there was only about 3 of us here that have this phone lol. And not one mention on any other forums.

Right now like I said, for me its a matter of waiting. Waiting for either someone to find a "safe" way of rooting it or why we arent able to since the goldcard method just seems blocked.

But since I dont see to many 32a roms that are worth trying Id rather just stick it out, leave it int he box, use my G1 and see what happens. 2.1 wll be out for it eventualy if nothing comes of rooting it.

Oh.. and in case noone wants to search http://blog.7touchgroup.com/2010/01/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-users-to-get-android-2-1-this-spring/ this is one of 25 pages confirming that the fender mytouch will be getting 2.1 in spring
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] malfuncion:
so has there been any break throughs? I have been googling for 2 days on this 32a issue and can't find anything.

Btw I have a MyTouch3G with the 32A, it's not the fender model. I am getting the same error that these guys are getting with the sappimg.nbh.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AngioNicholai:
Does anyone have a rooted boot.img that works on mytouch 32A, i created a superboot.bat that automatically flashes the boot.img onto your device but i cannot find a rooted boot.img, if i get one then this will be the easiest way to root any new mytouch....

superboot is the key!!

EDIT: can someone send it by PM, well if there is one available....

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daasguy99:
Im sorry for posting this and request the mod to delete after i have read a reply ( 1 week),

Question:

I have a topaz and i wanted to trade it in for hero:

1) hero is on a carrier and is unlocked, should i go for it?

2) does unlocked carrier phones work fine in all its functions?

3) does modifications work? like custom roms?

4) Is it worth it cuz im sick of wm n i love android interface?

5) what will i be missing if i do decide to switch? (compared to wm):confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
@1) if it's unlocked, it should be fine on any network.

@2) Yes. Plenty of people on these forums have unlocked their phones with no issues.

@3) Absolutely! There are plenty of good custom ROMs out there (I'd recommend Modaco Custom ROM personally (hero.modaco.com). Depending on the software version of the phone, you root the phone and install a patched recovery. Then you can add a custom rom using a patched recovery (check the sticky-wikis if you want more details)

@4) Yeah ;) IMHO it is miles better than WinMo. Watch a couple of youtube videos of the Hero though, as it doesn't look like stock android (HTC adds sense interface) but I think it makes it better. But a custom ROM will let you change the look too!

@5) Well, you'll miss the 'fun' of trying to poke at tiny buttons with your finger like on WinMo :) Seriously, I don't think there's much to miss. Once you get into android, it's pretty easy to do stuff, and the market is good for apps. (check out androlib.com for an idea of what's out there).

If you can, why not go to a phone shop and see if they have one out on demo to play with (Carphone Warehouse and T-Mobile) in the UK, both have a display model in pretty much all their stores. See if you like it, then trade in if you want.

What country are you in, if you don't mind me asking (to give you an idea of prices etc)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daasguy99:
anon ...that was an awesome reply lol you made my day... now all i have to do is sell of my td2... i hope i get a good price cuz i know this guy who is selling his he got it in sep and its like brand new, well kept.

Well about my location lets just say that its a place where dere is no htc so over here price ranges from $365 to $426 for used and $550 to 500 brand new
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Ouch. That's pricey!

Here in the UK, I got mine for free on an 18 month contract giving 800 mins, 500 texts and unlimited (3GB) internet. all for £21.50 per month (very special deal. Was meant to be about £40 per month, so ;)

That comes out to £387, which is US$625 by today's exchange rate, and that includes tonnes of usage!

Yeah. I'd get the Hero and trade in the td2.

hero tmobile

hey bro just wanted to ask im getting a hero on t-mobile... has there been updates for it and if i want to update my rom wat do i do n how do i go about it n do i need to take care of anything with t-mobile hero?

basically guy had it there n now he's selling it here.. so let me know if i should go for it:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
OK. So there's different versions of the G2 about. Some have the older software (1.76) and others have the newer stuff (2.73). If you have the older one, you will have an update available. See http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS for details (make sure you look at G2 stuff, not the Pulse ;))

But, T-Mobile are very slow at releasing their updates, so you might want to go down the custom ROM route, so you have a rooted phone and unofficial software. I run modaco custom ROM on mine (http://hero.modaco.com) and have done since the day I bought the phone.

There should be a version of Android 2.1 coming out in February, so if you want to get the update sooner, I'd root and install a custom ROM, so that when 2.1 comes out, you can just grab a rooted copy of it from here or modaco and run it. No waiting that way.

And if it was up to me, I'd get the Hero and trade in the topaz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daasguy:
ok ive seen that there are some custom roms but to do dat dont u need to flash them?

u can create an app which can read the content of the sms from your inbox and save to your desired format (device application) or use activesync connection.

As far as i know u can't directly connect to the sms/contact database plz correct me if i am wrong:o

and if you want to parse different folders then u can use inthehand libs or the opensource project MAPI.NET( the link u can find in my signature is in SMS filter rules)

Check out Pocket Player from Conduits. I use it myself for playing music. It has some really useful add-ons: like A-B repeating, EQ etc. There is also a little plugin available for changing the pitch and there's even a plugin for altering the speed of a song without altering the pitch.

I have a lot of WMA and WAV files that WM6 refuses to use as ringtones, even when copied to Windows or Windows/rings. They also won't play on WMP or GSplayer. But they play fine with various PC players.

I suspect this is something simple, but searching Google for half an hour didn't find it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AngelDeath:
Check the bitrate I think 190 is the limit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] klausner:
Thanks. I tried to look at the bit rate, but the one program I have that does that returns:

which doesn't help.

Any suggestions for determining the bitrate, and if that is the problem, for converting it in a batch of files?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
Goldwave is what I use. http://www.goldwave.com/

I also marked my song clip as "Ring-put song name here.wma"

As such the great Phineas and Ferb classic, My Name Is Doof, is now my general ringtone. It was set at 44100Mz, 129kbps, stereo via Goldwave conversion. Mine looks like this "Ring-MyNameIsDoof.wma".

For alarms, I have 2 sound bites...named "Alarm-Reveille.wav" and "Alarm-Mahna Mahna.wav".

Drop them into windows and you should be good. Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] klausner:
I found a way to look at the bitrates, and they range from 16 to 64kbps. The frequencies look to be either 22050 or 41000Hz.

Does the last post imply that I need to make the bitrates higher?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] slight22:
Convert them to MP3, it will make your life simpler.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] klausner:
I try some as a test, but I'm under the impression that MP3s are larger and "lossier".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dwboston:
They aren't DRM-protected WMA files are they? That would be a reason that WMP wouldn't play them either. I had that issue with a bunch of songs purchased legally from Musicmatch. When Yahoo bought Musicmatch they shut down the DRM servers and the songs became useless. Converting to MP3 is probably the easiest solution.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] klausner:
No DRM involved.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] klausner:
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that WM6 could use MP3s as ringtones.

As for WAVs and WMAs, there seems to be a "signed" attribute which I can't find documentation for. Since the one I have problems with were mostly converted from MIDI files, I assume they are unsigned.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] guruzen:
Hi All,

I am using WM 6.1 and 6.5 devices. I have a software that is already installed on the phone that needs to be upgraded to a new version.

The old software and the new one have same names but the version number of the new one is 1 higher than the old one (This is in _setup.xml of the CAB file).

I have a need that when i upgrade, the old one must be uninstalled. Hence, in Install_Init(), i am using the Uninstall CSP to uninstall the old one.

DMProcessConfigXML() returns SUCCESS and all the traces of the software are removed. But when the control reaches Install_Exit(), one of the params cFailedDirs returns 2. This confirms tht installation failed somewhere and i do get a message saying "Installation was unsuccessful". No files get copied to the respective folders.

Any suggestions or ideas on why this happens and on what scenario?

Thanks in advance

Hi guys, my X1's time seems running too slow. For instance, in real time 2 minutes had past, but my X1 only showed 1 minute past only. It feels like my X1 has 120seconds counted as 1 minute!! Consequently, even if 2 hours real time has past, but my X1 has only past 1 hours. This is troubling me already. At first, I thought it was the ROM problem, hence I switched to Energy ROM standard today but still give me same problem.

Hi everyone,

I just got my HTC Touch Pro 2 from US Tmobile and I want to upgrade it to Window Mobile 6.5. I just wonder if I still be able to ask T-mobile Custumer Service to get unlock code later because I've planned to travel to Asia during summer. I read that we need to be in service at least 3 months to be able to get phone unlocked so I can't unlock it know. Does anybody know if upgrading ROM (official rom from T-Mo, cooked room or ship rom from HTC) effects unlocking procedure?

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] slvrknght8:
I have a Tmobile TouchPro 2, had Tmobile official ROM 6.1 when I requested the sim unlock code, and used it. Upgraded to the new Tmobile 6.5 ROM and the phone is still sim unlocked. Doesn't hurt to ask them for the unlock code now. From what I gather, quite a few people, myself included, get the unlock code rather easily from Tmobile just by asking. Provide your IMEI number and they'll get back to you within 10 days I think.

i have buyed a US touch pro2 with unlock code to get all operators...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
The delay before unlocking is related to "loyalty" or something similar like that, nothing techinical. So, putting a T-Mo-supplied upgrade on your phone should have no effect at all on when you can get it SIM-unlocked.

The registry setting is located;

You can set the text to whatever you want.
