I'm in the same exact boat as you. I rooted my phone last week because i was eager to get multitouch working, so i followed this tutorial:

theunlockr[dot]com/2010/01/21/how-to-enable-multitouch-browsing-on-your-nexus-one-using-the-native-browser/

So now when i try to apply the OTA update manually in recovery mode i get:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Browser.apk" , "68a23e4ac9d6a783b6166b24ab79d12c6544e8f4" , "4da6d3fd306ef7fc81e19147da395f13221e70307")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Does anyone know what i can do to get this OTA up and running? Im rooted but i havent flashed any custom roms or recoveries either.

This is my first android phone so i'm a bit of a noob and new to the scene. Any help would be greatly appreciated

check that guide out, it was simple and easy to follow...
[Nexus One General] tonyx3:
Thanks JHaste.

But those are pretty much the exact instructions I followed that gave me the error.

My phone is rooted, but running the stock rom.

No custom rom, no patched browser.

The only changes I've made since rooting it are to copy some Thai fonts into the fonts directory.

The exact specifics of my error are posted in:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5528501&postcount=118

Very similar to what PhantomRampage listed, but a slightly different cause, I think... (his is an error on Browser.apk)
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
Thanks for trying but as i said before, i tried that and it fails because i have an unlocked bootloader.

Sorry if my first post was confusing, ill try again.

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my N1 the other day, i also modified and added some files to get pinch-to-zoom working on the native browser. To do that i followed some tutorial on theunlockr, i cant post direct links so google it and you'll find it easily.

So, now i want to apply the new OTA update but it fails, either because i have root access or because i tampered with the browser files im guessing.

Knowing all that, what can i do to install the new update?

Also, will i have to download patched updates from now on since i rooted my phone? I'm really hoping i dont have to; i'd prefer to install the ota updates as they come out officially.
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
might have found a solution

check out:

forum (dot) androidcentral (dot) com / google-nexus-one/6469-will-my-n1-receive-ota-ere27-update-cyanogen-mod (dot) html

seems to be just what i was looking for but i think i want to re-flash the stock firmware instead, i want to stay as stock as possible so i can install future OTA updates without having to go through all this trouble. Can anyone help me with that please?

Anyways, i hope my link will help some people. Sorry for the double post

i have an unbranded black and red htc magic 32a with CM-4.0.4 pre-installed, but am struggling to update it.

recovery flasher says "backup failed", when I click the hidden bypass button and click Flash it says "flash failed".

all of the HTC magic rom updates from the official site say the rom is not for my device

attempting to do a factory reset restarts the phone but does nothing else

cyanogenmods updater says "you are running an old version of cyanogens roms. to use the updater, you have to upgrade manually...." i can't follow the link suggested because recovery flasher isn't working.

is there something i'm doing wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
your trying to flash a recovery... to an already rooted phone.. rather then a rom.. thats what your doing wrong.

Put rom on card, rename to update.zip

Turn off phone.

HOLD home button while pushing power to go to recovery..

When in recovery, depensing on which it is, you will see WIPE and FLASH UPDATE.

I hope you know what to do from there. Then look into updating your recovery through terminal.

Can anyone Plz tell me how to change default storage location of pictures taken by camera from DCIM to Storagecard/MyDocuments/My Pictures . I know in previous devices i used advance configration tool but what about HD2 its not working for me in HD2 . I am using HTC new 1.66....wwe rom plz help
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Shouldn't you be able to select this in the Camera app itself?
[HD2 General] Alian_Alvi:
I can Chose storage location either to save pictures on Phone memory or storage card . But even when i chose storage card the camera application makes a DCIM folder in storage card and save pictures and videos there .What i need is a cab or a registry tweak to save picture in storage card/My Documents/My pictures and videos in Storage card /My Documents/My Videos directory . as in our old Kaiser days a program named Advance configration tools3.3 can change these settings but this program cant change it in HD2 .It shows the path is changed but the camera still save it to the Storagecard/DCIM directory .

[HD2 General] mad_style:
Actually your help yesterday let me adjust the settings back to the original default options (so my pictures again at least showed up in the Sense pictures tab).

What I was originally trying to do by playing around with all of the registry settings was what all these people are asking.

I was trying to set the default folder for pictures taken with the camera as anything other than \Storage Card\DCIM.

There appears to be no way to overwrite this setting.
[HD2 General] Alian_Alvi:
So it seems there is no way of doing iy. Thats pretty sad i wish someone could find a way to change the default settings . But anyways Thanks alot .:mad:
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
No, there was no answer ...

It never ceases to amaze me how rude people can be when some of us ask simple questions.

I'm sure HE DID search for an answer, but found none, and your reply was wrong. There was NOT an answer on THAT thread.

I read THAT thread and the question is still "up in the air."

As far as I can see, making any changes in the registry is futile with regard to camera image storage location. I've tried them all, including the ones referenced in THAT thread noted above (WRONG!). None work! The pictures STILL get stored in a DCIM folder on the storage card.

So, even I am still waiting for a solution. Oh well.

Peter
[HD2 General] MattOG:
Is there anyone out there that still has this problem, or even knows how to fix it?

I've changed enableDCIM to 0

Changed HKLM\system\pictures\camera\OEM\picturelocation

to "\my documents\my pictures"

A registry search for DCIM turns up one result, the enable DCIM setting....

All locations that I've checked refer to the "My Pictures" folder.

I've created the folder in my documents, and in the storage card top level, deleted the DCIM folder, restarted the phone and STILL, when taking a picture it goes to DCIM.... Does anyone know if theres a file somewhere where this is stored?? I'm going insane with having to move my pictures from one folder to another all the time...

Ta in advance
[HD2 General] innovator8:
I had the TP2 before and I was able to just use advanced config to put my pics in to my pictures, and, easily view them from the sense tab, further more, I was able to have the pics named with the date and time, so I would not be over writing any pics after a flash.

I to have fought with this for a couple of weeks and finally just gave up and am currently using the DCIM folder to store my pics.

With my TP2, it worked great, it has to do with the actual camera app, on HD2, you can select your store location from there, TP2 camera app has no option of where to store, it is all handled with registry/advanced config.

Good luck, but I don't think there is a solution to this currently.

[HD2 General] MattOG:
Yeah it's odd that there's all these registry entries, but they seem to do nada...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Hi, firstly, sorry for my abruptness earlier in the thread.

I hadn't looked in to the problem, and i was assuming that what was true for other devices was true for us.

So, i had a look at it this evening, (tho im no tech, im kinda flying blind with hex editing) an as expected the save path is hard coded.

Get Camera.exe

Not sure whether you can extract it from the phones windows folder, I got mine from within a

kitchen.

Disable read only file attribute

Open it up in a hex editor and find

line 596,350 (hex 0009197e) or there abouts, and change DCIM to Pics

see two images, (ignore the fact the line number changed in pic2, )

Save Camera.exe, and copy it to your phone, overwrite the Camera.exe in your phones

/Windows/

folder. You might need to use something more than the default file manager, I used resco.

Or you could use a cab to install it.

Next time you take a pic it will save it to Pics/100Media

Notice that Pics is 4 letters like DCIM so the file size stays the same.

When i tried to insert data to call the folder SamsPics, camera.exe failed to load.

I also changed the two registry entries

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\PictureLocation changed from \DCIM\ to \Pics\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\General EnableDCIM to 0

however i didnt do tests between each change, so not sure if they do anything.

(update, i forgot to check at the time and i just flashed back to default so can't check, but i think one of teh flashes I had it working with the Pics path without changing those two reg entries, just the hex editing, so try it without first,.)

To fix manila photo tab showing no images found,

take a pic to make sure folder has been created

then from pics tab

albums - albums - select album probably called 100media

then

menu - set album as favourite

For the prefix IMAG I couldn't find how to change it, other than it pics up from the last IMAGxxx name in the target folder.

There is a section in the camera.exe where the code contains the string \DCIM\100Media around code line 675,954 but changing that seemed to have no effect.

So all in all, not too usefull, can only change to 4 letter folders, cant change prefix, cant get rid of 100media folder, but a step in the right direction., unless someone knows how to replace camera.exe in my kitchen with one of a different file size (or maybe how to trim space from elsewhere to leave the same filesize? I'm new to hex editing, but would love to learn more about hacking files like this, if anyone has any pointers)
[HD2 General] link68759:
I was able to change it to save to the Pictures folder without any problem. I did it on my first try, so I don't know that I even have the error... But what I did was over write the DCIM and 100Media with Pictures; then I 00'd what was left of the 100Media. Same file size, works like a charm. It got rid of the 100Media folder too. My hex structure was weird tho; D C I M (in hex; there was a 00 inbetween each letter). I just followed that format;

\ D C I M \ 1 0 0 M e d i a

overwritten

\ P i c t u r e s M e d i a

then replace each hex value corresponding to the letters in media with 00 (note that the space button in hex is 20, not 00)

Also, my Magic is not rooted. (Apparently it has a 'perfect SPL' and I dont have a spare SD to make a goldcard :()

I'm excited but ignorant. In addition to forthcoming apps, should we expect current apps to release updates for multiouch versions? Or is browser/maps/probably games/ and gallery the extent of its usefulness? Thanks
[Nexus One General] anstosa:
Android has supported multitouch since 1.6. Apps have always been free to use multiple input points and a lot of them have had them for the better part of a year. It's just the Google Apps that have been lacking in multitouch gestures.
[Nexus One General] toooitwo:
The Nexus One and many other Android phones have had multi-touch since they were released. Google choose to activate it on the Nexus One in a few of their apps. Other apps already on the market have had multi-touch for a long time. EX; the Dolphin Browser. I doubt a program will get updated to have multi-touch if it doesn't have it already, however, some other Google apps may get updates if Google wants to.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
This is not strictly correct. The APIs needed to do true multi-touch were added in Android 2.0.

Earlier versions of Android would encode some information about the distance between 2 touches into the "size" of the touch event, and apps could decode that information to try to do limited pinch-zoom types of operations, true. But they did not provide explicit and separate information on locations, pressures, and sizes for each of the touches independently in those releases.

The method calls to provide that separated information to do true multi-touch were added in "API level 5" which is Android 2.0. Also, encoding information into the size field could, at best, give them the ability to convey distance information on only 2 presses. With the new APIs in Android 2.0 they could potentially report information on an unlimited number of independent touch events, if the hardware supports it.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Ouch somehow I forgot I just bought the MT gallery. I did try dolphin recently also but the pinch seemed unusably choppy. I guess browser/maps/gallery are by far the most useful implementations of MT anyway. So only apps for firmware 2.0 and above can be MT?

[HD2 General] tcc13:
Hello All,

I picked up my HD2 about a week ago and I must say this phone is sweet. This is my first touch screen phone and also wm phone. I have did some small cosmetic changes to it already (5x4 quicklinks; lock swipe at the bottom; brain's task bar and less sensitive touch screen). Still getting use to typing/texting on the screen.

What I wanted to ask was with all the themes, mods, hacks in here there are always things mentioned of what software versions it will work with. From what I gather (on my phone):

1. When I navigate to settings>all settings>system>about, it shows a "splash screen" of the version of WM. Is this where others have stated versions 6.5.x.? Also it displays CE OS 5.2.21869 (build 21869.5.0.82) Does this have any valid impact on what themes, etc can be used on the phone?

2. When I navigate to settings>about phone>software information, it lists a bunch of software versions. Which pieces of information should I be concerned about?

3. Finally, on the UK HTC website there are a bunch of updates and two ROMS. Should I or do I need to install all of them or should the latest ROM be sufficient?

My info:

Manila: 2.5.19211619.0

ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE

ROM Date: 11/18/09

Radio: 2.05.51.05_2

Protocol: 15.28.50.07W

TIA
[HD2 General] freyberry:
CE OS 5.2.21869 (build 21869.5.0.82) means WM6.5.0.

Most people just call this WM6.5 (although WM6.5.X is actually WM6.5 as well).

This has an impact on what Windows Mobile themes you can use (e.g. Livven's themes, or shadowline's).

The Manila (=Sense) version. On your phone, it's probably something like 2.5.1911xxxx, often referred to as "Manila 1911".

Don't try to fix something that's not broken. However, the newest ROM (1.66) is supposed to resolve issues with SMS and improve the general speed.
[HD2 General] tcc13:
Thanks for the quick reply freyberry.

How are people getting the "new" WM 6.5.X? I see no mention of it on M$ site.

What was wrong with SMS? I have had no problems out of the box with sending/receiving texts so far, short of the timestamp issue which a regedit fixed.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
There's no official update to WM6.5.X (yet).

You can get it unofficially in the ROM section: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534

But make sure you first read all the tutorials! And I suggest you stay with the official ROM for a while, until you're familiar with the device.

Some people could not send SMS, but that didn't happen to everyone.
