[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breakthecycle2:
this is great but not to burst your bubble but all you need is to download android zip from the market. that's what ive been using.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanJacques:
So, being new to android, maybe a dumb question, but do rooted users lose update possibilities?

I mean OTA ones?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Know-Fear:
Yes to an extent. Meaning you will not receive the update OTA. You will more than likely get it a couple weeks earlier than OTA. Rooted users always seem to get the jump over non rooted users. Devs like Enom and Cyanogen see to that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathwish238:
Okay tutorial I suppose...it's better to just flash the RA recovery and then you don't have to name things update.zip

Of course, but you're getting features and updates sooner than OTA. Sometimes months sooner.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3fallen:
way to many steps, what you need to do is suck it up and install the RA recovery, then just download any rom leave it in the root of your sd card and boot to recvoery and hit flash zip from sd, and select the zip done!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~~Tito~~:
Thats what I would do when I was on my G1.:rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendary1022:
Don't need to rename the zip like others have said but I can understand why it would be easy for noobs. The only thing I see missing is telling how to reboot in recovery (volume down + power --> Recovery)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahui9:
Sorry all its my first attempt at a step by step process for those who have just started rooting and flashing other roms. I know it may be lengthy for experienced users, I will be next to my computer and refine the process for all users hopefully tomorrow. But I'm in vacation in St Augustine for the time being.

All input is welcome, and thanks for the helpful comments.

Don't forget to support your devs

-Charlie
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahui9:
Ok I've simplified the process now basically like th3fallen stated in later comments, once again if you have questions let me know :D

WHAT THIS IS FOR:

This is for those of you that upgraded to the newest rogers rom, and caught yourselves with an unrooted device.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Emergency phone calls are broken in this version (the whole reason for the upgrade), so see to it that you switch to a rom / boot.img that doesn't suck. (thanks a lot rogers >_>)

http://haykuro.polygonize.com/ROGERSDREAM.nbh.zip

Steps to take:

1. Download the file

2. Extract and rename to DREAIMG.nbh

3. Place on root of SD card (your SD card has to be formatted as FAT32 if it fails to find it in the next step!)

4. Power off, hold camera button, power on. This will boot into SPL and prompt you to install. Proceed.

5. After your phone is done flashing, it will prompt you to press another key to reboot the phone. Do so.

6. Use flashrec, and follow procedures to root again.
[G1 Android Development] evilpig:
Haykuro strikes again! I didnt put the update on but im sure this will be put to good use.
[G1 Android Development] fzlhmt:
wow dat was quick:), so downgrade and follow the rooting process again is it ?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] dotster:
Gonna be the first guinea pig then...

UPDATE: REJECTED!!! Shiat!

Message:

"Main Version is older!"

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<ACTION> Yes

<POWER> No

Btw, I think someone already tried this.

Somehow, it's got to be higher than the build 1.89 that Rogers/HTC gave us.

Any other ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Sejanus:
What is this supposed to do? Should this be applied if we've already updated to the new Rogers rom?

What will this do if we haven't updated yet, but are still using something like CM 4.2.13?
[G1 Android Development] fzlhmt:
if u havent update to the new rogers rom and having CM 4.2.13 then forget abt this,

if u flash rogers rom u will lose your root as i did :P

so better not to if u like the root, cos there is nothing special with the rogers update,:rolleyes:

but the Magic update is awesome :D
[G1 Android Development] trendz:
I get the same thing! arrgghgh

Haykuro: can we use goldcard for this???
[G1 Android Development] Super S:
Get the same thing. :( Thanks for the effort Haykuro. Anything else up your sleeves?
[G1 Android Development] fzlhmt:
ok update failed :(
[G1 Android Development] XxXSnake23XxX:
dammm... was hoping for a fix!
[G1 Android Development] trendz:
Dropped the nbh file in my goldcard....nada....failed the same way.

I even ran the 1.89 RUU and replaced the rom.nbh file in the temp folder with the old one we all downloaded and named it rom.nbh.... just to see what would happen....failed

I'll have to try another goldcard....I might have messed up somewhere.

Can someone please try this with a goldcard and see if it works?

Thanks haykuro for getting on the ball on this....

Rogers.....karma is gonna be a B*&%$......for you guys one day....
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
I already tried the older rom and it failed. I also tried with a goldcard and got the same response.

maybe I made a booboo, so if someone can make a goldcard image and send it to me (android@mahram.ca) I'll give it another try.

This is my cid:

[G1 Android Development] b3395617:
weird, I have lost all the signal ever since trying to flash the nbh file:confused:
[G1 Android Development] alan090:
lol I find your signature funny

your the one who chose to run the ruu

you can only blame yourself

also htc makes the software not rogers
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
I actually spoke to HTC customer service on the phone. They said Rogers wanted it this way (a 1.5 build with no other fixes besides the 911 fix). So yes, HTC makes it, but Rogers wanted it this way.

Even without all this, still **** Rogers. They're still spineless sacks of ****.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
... and that is even though HTC would be perfectly happy to make a 1.6 for them.

I assume that the 1-click-root vulnerability is gone, anybody try it?
[G1 Android Development] thorinside:
Annoyances

So, I called Rogers tech support on Monday morning after they turned off my 3G and told the tech guy there that I've been running a ROM with the 911 fix since last September or so, and could they please turn my 3G back on. He did something on his end to re-provision my phone. I had to take out the battery for a little while and then boot my phone, and 3G came back up for me.

This wasn't good enough for Rogers. They have been sending me two text messages a day (one English and one French) and then calling me (twice) with recorded messages warning me about the 911 problem and that I need to 'upgrade'. This is a serious customer satisfaction issue with me. So, I figured it'd set me back for a few days, but I did the following to downgrade my phone from Cyanogen to the Rogers Donut-Hole release:

1) Installed Windows XP mode on my Windows 7 64 Bit OS, because the HTC Sync program wouldn't work on Windows 7 64-bit.

2) Downloaded and installed the HTC Sync program on my Windows XP virtual machine.

3) Dug around and found an old JACxHERO 1.0 ROM and I flashed it, hoping that the Rogers updater wouldn't detect this as a violation and abort.

4) Rebooted the phone, and joy of joys was able to get HTC Sync to connect to my virtual machine. The JACx HERO ROM has HTC Sync inside it, which was enough to fool the installer.

5) Ran the Rogers downgrader. This ran successfully... I just had to babysit the USB 'Attach' menu. If you're not on a virtual machine, you shouldn't need to worry about it.

6) Now I have the updated Radio image, and a downgraded 1.5 Android image.

I miss 1.6 terribly already. I wonder how long it'll be before Rogers detects that I've performed the upgrade so that I can try out this new Hakuro goodness (thanks Man!) and get my phone to a decent OS again. Anyone know how Rogers is detecting the upgraded version? Are they simply looking at the Radio image version? Or do they also know what OS Build I'm running?

I also upgraded my wife's phone. I hope the SMS and Recorded message abuse will now go away.

My message to Rogers would be: Get out of my life. I already pay you far too many dollars for the privilege of holding and using an HTC Dream on your golden network. It is super nice that you regard my safety above all else, however I have never in my life called 911, and really my safety is not your responsibility. I already know about the 911 bug, and had it fixed before you decided to meddle with all of your Canadian customers by removing their network connectivity and abusing them with myriads of reminders. Get out and stay out of my life!

Have a nice day.
[G1 Android Development] dotster:
I've tried all the usual methods with fastboot. Flashrec doesn't work. Logging in via adb doesn't give me shell access. Someone's tried the goldcard method.

Sigh.

Haykuro, what was your process for initially rooting the Magic? Didn't we send you one and you had to hook up some wires to it to get some port #s or something? (Sorry, it was long time ago.)

If need be, I'm getting an Magic upgrade once they are in stock and I'd be willing to lend you my Dream to hack at.
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Sorry to here that you did that but as of now you are fooked.

There were steps in 1 of the 5 threads that told you how to perform the upgrade without flashing the "perfected perfect" spl but it's too late now.

sorry for your luck.
[G1 Android Development] mkurzum:
Same issue as everyone else, unable to flash old image...

My phone has been unusable since the update, reception has dropped to emergency calls only in my house, and 1 bar outside.

Every hour or so I have to reboot the phone, I get some ".process" error that keeps popping up in an infinite loop.

I need the droid from telus to be released, I have to ditch this garbage.

when i boot into Android it tells me i have very low storage space and therefore cannot install apps, send/receive texts, etc etc. why is this happening? when i'm booted into WM 6.5 it says i have roughly 165mb of storage free so its nowhere near full. how can i fix this?

http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/MOTOR...available-STILL-1-5-though/td-p/304863/page/2

There was an OTA update to the CLIQ today, which was taken down after 15 minutes. Reports say this added functionality to their home button as such:

Is there any chance that something like this can be either a) ported over, or if it's not possible, b) developed for the Nexus One? (Basically if it is possible to add button functionality using the standard SDK tools?)

And even better, edited/hacked so as to allow home button double-tap to launch ANY app? (And even add double tap functionality for the other buttons?)
[Nexus One General] B3astofthe3ast:
I don't see this working too well with capacitive buttons, tbh.
[Nexus One General] nuc70st:
double tap on track ball

I wish there is a way to have double tab on he track ball to launch the dialer or to my favorite contacts. It would make it easy for making phone calls.
[Nexus One General] kylez64:
i can dig that!

but with the option to change it like camera, txt, etc...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
That too!

The reason I ask if this is even possible to develop using the standard SDK tools is because I've been searching and searching and searching and searching over the past year with my G1 for some app on the Market that adds or alters button functionality. To date, there is not a *SINGLE* app that does this for *

ANY

* Android phone.

Until yesterday's update of course. Finally!!!

Is this something that ONLY Motorola (and other carriers) can do?
[Nexus One General] tutech:
Personally, I would love to see a mod in spare parts or something that would make it so that all of the capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen on the Nexus would require a double-tap to be activated. This would help us avoid brushing up against them accidentally when not meaning to. Granted, it would take a little bit of getting used to double-tapping them to make them work, but I'm sure some people would appreciate and use such a mod. I'm talking about a purely optional mod that you would not have to have turned on (but could via Spare Parts) and would be off to keep the button behavior stock by default.
[Nexus One General] Router:
i guess the longevity of the trackball is low, at least it is on my blackberry. if you are onto this, mate, then, maybe, it could be either dblpress or longpress - to chose from?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Hah, different strokes for different folks. I wouldn't use that, but that's exactly why it should be customizable.

Can any Android developers comment on this?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I found one! It's called Button Shortcut in the market. Great App!
[Nexus One General] karthikjr:
Using it now. Works great. Replaced search-button long press with Dialer.

Perfect!
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Hell yeah! Now I wonder what it would take to get a back button long press? :D
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I emailed the developer to see if a Back button long press was possible. His answer:

:(
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Well that's a bummer! I do like this lite app Button Shortcut at least for a Dialer launch button!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] RayYung:
Is there any way to change the key to turn on the screen? The Power button is on the top and I bet most people hold the bottom of the phone, I can't reach the top button with one hand....

Thanks,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
You can try mapping it with this program.

I haven't tested on power button though.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] RayYung:
Although it would work if I map the 'END' button to "screen power toggle". I also lost the End funtion....

Do you guys use two hands to turn on the screen everytime you use? I was so used to My Treo Pro that I can use the END key to turn on the screen...

There is a new SMS Hotfix on HTC Europe dated 29.01.2010.

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=508

For Rom´s <1.66...

Will there not be an updated 1.66 Rom for germany and the rest of europe ?

Anyone installed the fix already?
[HD2 General] ht_ppc:
Add one more, there is a brand new SMS_Updated patch added in Hong Kong too!

http://www.htc.com/hk-tc/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=508
[HD2 General] paulking:
i thought 1.66 fixed the sms issue? :confused:

i've only sent 5 since updating but all went through instantly...
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
I installed the HK hotfix and no harm has been done (i.e. it's better than the last one, which produced monster text in my SMS folders). I can send SMS messages; but then I could before as long I kept the inbox below ten messages.
[HD2 General] PG101:
It says ROM version less than 1.66.XX, so its safe to assume that people on 1.66 dont need it.

I am on 1.66 and have not experienced any problems as such..
[HD2 General] waxfresh:
Installing it for about 10 minutes now.. not finished yet! :confused:

If they wont release 1.66 for Germany, it´d be a bad joke.

Edit: to anyone who installed it: Does the Hotfix appear under Software at the settings?

My device restarted itself after 15 minutes of installation.. no idea if it worked
[HD2 General] tsaojam:
I'm downloading this as we speak...could anyone tell us if it's necessary for us to uninstall any of the previous two hotfixes? any separate differences (such as radio upgrade and what not that's not apparent from the hotfix "title"?). The last hotfix that was taken down took up a lot of memory, so worried that this will take even more.
[HD2 General] axl30:
is the new manager sms 2011.3631
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
No it doesnt show under remove programs and a reboot once finished is normal. It should be installed.
[HD2 General] Lex85:
When I install this fix on a german ROM will the SMS Client be german then? The hotfix is not available form the german htc site...
[HD2 General] TML1504:
can someone who applied the update please provide the build number of the

htc messaging? for that, goto "all messages/menu/about".

my current version with miri's 1.4B (tmo 2.02 base) is 2011.1932!

thx in advance!
[HD2 General] MichelDiamond:
I hope this fix is for users who don't want to flash a new ROM or can't do it because of branding...

Hey HTC Germany (and the other countries) : I hope you've finished 1.66-translation soon like your collegues in italy,spain,france,norway,...

We want to flash - not only fix - this weekend :)

"is the new manager sms 2011.3631..."
[HD2 General] cracou111:
I installed the hotfix on Dutty's 1.3 ROM,

It last 2 minutes.

After softreset the SMS program is now 1.5 but It was already 1.5 on Dutty's ROM!

BUT when replying to a SMS to a contact with a large amount of received sms, it is almost instantly possible to reply (write)! The messages are loaded very very quickly!
[HD2 General] enyaj:
could it be the same as the one that was pulled? it still says LEO8007 like the one before this
[HD2 General] fpatrick:
Installed this new hotfix...

No more visible subfix "- GSM" on old SMS this time...

edit: should be just hidden, but not delete the subfix. I still can see it at myphone...
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
Don't think so, quite a few files with date 25-01-2010 to 28-01-2010. Thinking whether or not to install this one the miri 1.5 rom having the 1.66/2.02 base.
[HD2 General] Hojlind:
The fix is not available at the danish site :( But it seems we got the 1.66 rom instead :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's a later version than the one we've got just by doing the 1.66 upgrade then (2011.1932)
[HD2 General] thegios:
I have instaleld this on an italian 1.48 rom and got the new version of the sms application: will see how it works and if all is good won't upgrade to 1.66 for now
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
it's just the 08007 hotfix that has returned in yet another disguise..

together with all the other hotfixes on 148, you'll have the same as 166. 166 is nothing but the new sms fix in a different install file.. probably because the original 08007 fix caused to many problems...

if you have no sms problems now, I suggest you don't install this hotfix or the 166 rom. I really hate how it jumps to the selected message after it has loaded the list and scrolls away your typing area.. it worked perfectly before..
[HD2 General] thegios:
it looks like this new hotfix installs an sms application version higher than the one you get by installing 166

I wonder if 166 really improves the whole phone speed or if it's just a "I wanna believe" syndrome from whoever installed 166
[HD2 General] muntos:
Just installed the fix and the loading of SMS is much quicker, I can reply almost instantly in a long (70 SMS) list of SMS.
[HD2 General] donSjon:
installed the dutch version: http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812

FYI link for germany (I saw that some couldn't find it): http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812

GSM suffix: gone :-)

version: 2011.3631

Ihope this is the last sms patch :-)

the message on the HTC site actually says: for 1.66 OR lower.

so this patch is also "usefull" on the new rom!
[HD2 General] thegios:
nope: it says lower than 166.xxx although, as I said, it seems that by installing it you get an sms app versione higher than the one in 166
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
the german site says 166 or lower.. can anyone confirm it doesn't highlight/scroll to the message you selected to enter the message thread from sense..?
[HD2 General] thegios:
it does but I find it cool :-)
[HD2 General] widoo:
On the german site from what I understand, it states that the patch is for 1.66.xx.xx or lower
[HD2 General] muntos:
It does, but why you wouldn't want this? Suppose that the SMS is longer than Sense can display, if it wouldn't jump to selected message what you would do? Search for it manually ?
[HD2 General] Marshall1975:
Hello

I have a european UK HD2 on Rom 1.66 yet when I try and install the hotfix from the uk site I get the message stating the Hotfix is not compatible with my device. Wonder if its not installable on the 1.66 Rom.
[HD2 General] romani87:
Damnnnnn

It's really annonying that so many countries have to wait for the new ROM. Why don't they release it for all at one time, omg ?!?! :( :( :(

Btw. that "new" SMS fix was there 10-14 days ago, but dissapeared, and now showed up again - people with 1.66 don't need it.
[HD2 General] thegios:
As I said, both in ITALIAN and in ENGLISH it says IT IS FOR ROM VERSIONS LOWER THAN 166 and not EQUAL OR LOWER

dunno about german cos i can't read german
[HD2 General] widoo:
Can anyone confirm that with this update there is no more lag when you have a contact with > 300sms AND when you sync this contact with Facebook ?

Everytime I sync my contacts profile photos with Facebook (or even if I edit a contact), it recreates the entiere SMS thread for each contact modified...

I'm with the old HTC Messaging version 2011.1932 actually everything is working fine (no lag with lots of SMS >1600) but the device is becoming really laggy for 15 to 30 minutes when doing as stated above if the edited contact has lots of SMS. :(
[HD2 General] thegios:
well it's not that they don't need it: they cannot install it.

in any case I have confirmation that this patch install v2011.3631 while people with 166 have v2011.1932
