[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de_annere:
First, Hello to everyone, please be kind, I'm new ;)

I hope I got the right forum for this question:

Is it possible to change the ProductID and VendorID the device reports via Bluetooth?

Is it possible with root, or do you need to cook an own ROM, or would you even need to flash the firmware of some bluetooth-chip (don't even know if there is something like this on the Hero)?

Benefits would be to use the Hero e.g. as a Wiimote, since the Wii only accepts the Product and Vendor-ID of the Wiimote.

I hoped you could help since this forum is the only place to expect anyone to know something about this ;)
[HTC Excalibur] karan_adhikari:
Dear All,

I just wanna understand how to ensure that any phone that we want , the ROM for the same would be modified ???

Any replies ???

[HTC Excalibur] orb3000:
As long as it´s HTC made (and lately even other brands) a great Chef from XDA will cook a ROM that will be better than the "original":cool:

Long live XDA!!!

Can someone please tell me how to flash back to stock sprint rom :( :confused:

I'm in desperate need of it by Monday... I have to send it back in
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
check out this link bro.

i found it in a the roms sticky wiki
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
You need to RUU. That restores the stock ROM, deletes Amon RA, and destroys evidence of rooting it. Only works on windows.
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
Just flash the sprint RUU.

[Hero CDMA General] crazylegs90:
i tried it but keep getting a usb error can you help ??
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
You need to copy the ADB.exe from the Android SDK over to the RUU folder.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Or you can install HTC Sync... that also fixes the USB error. However, ADB.exe in the RUU folder would be quicker.
[Hero CDMA General] crazylegs90:
ok iGot the usb drivers for android but after the RUU.exe finishes running my phone continues to boot the custome rom instead of stock Sprint rom :(
[HD2 General] pierluigi.rovere:
Hi :)

first: i apologise to you for my bad english!

this is my problem: i upgraded my rom 2 days ago from htc website, installed all the hotfix, and nothing more else.

From htc-sense if i choose "Photo and Video", it shows only 99 photo, but in my SD there are more then 300! is it normal? O.o also i have copied a video, but obviously it isn't displayed.

Anyone know how to fix it? O.o'

edit - oops, wrong answer to miss read question
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
as far as i know this was always case of manila picture Tab eversince first releases.maximum of 99 pictures.

New to twitter, but decided to start using it now i have it on my phone.:rolleyes: One thing I have noticed though is that sometimes when i start following someone, it doesnt always add their tweets to my htc peep's stream. I can check on my pc's browser and yes im following them and can see their entries in the timeline, but they dont show up on my phone when i update. Only seems to be some people Im following and not others. Is it something in my settings, or on theirs?:confused:

[Omnia II General] milanf:
Should you pls help me which one of these great devices to buy? I cant still decide. HW keyboard doesnt matter so much... I would prefere i8000 but I like B7610 interface. :confused::confused::confused:
[Omnia II General] real_life:
I got a B7610, because for me the keyboard is the dealbreaker.

Aside of that i never got my hands on a omnia II but i can see that the best things for it are the huge 4.7 screen (i think is 4.7) and the weight compared to B7610...

B7610 has a good today screen but it was already been ported to I8000
[Omnia II General] milanf:
really? I couldnt find it here?! I would be great to have b7610 screen on i8000!
[Omnia II General] Gadgety:
If you're planning to run custom roms the i8000 has many more alternatives and a larger user base. The screen is also larger. The premier reason to get the B7610 would be the keyboard.
[Omnia II General] real_life:
just search for "bokeh manilla" on the themes section

If not, its on modaco
[Omnia II General] milanf:
thx, its quite clear. Wait for next i8000 user :-)
[Wing, P4350 General] CheeseDave:
So, now I cant get anything working in my P4350 except the bootloader mode.

The way I got here:

Installed many roms, trying to find the best for me. After some time, even the most stable rom was not stable, all of them crashed, freezed, rebooted after about 1 day usage. (With and without SD card, and no apps installed).

So I decided to remove hardspl and do the whole thing again. I downloaded Aserg-Remove-Hard-Spl pack, and run it. After the second step the phone was not completly blank, I saw the console staying at the "praying ..." text (without backlight), and the phone didnt responded for any buttons or touch. So here came the third step, the RUU, but it gave me error 260, that it cant find my device. (How would this, since the activesync was not connected?)

So i couldnt do anything, I soft reseted the phone, but it wont turned on, or it did but the screen left blank. - like no rom were installed. I tried to press the camera, and the RGB screen came up, saying IPL 4.14.0001 and SPL 4.70 Yang.

Tried to hard reset, but when I pressed send, it said fail.

Tried to update at this position with RUU, but its need activesync so it gave me the same error. Tried to install 3 different roms from 2 differenct SD Cards (that worked before), and It checks the Card, the the RGB screen comes up (like no rom would be on the SD card).

Created a GoldCard, and installed the official ROM. The "Checking SD Card" text stays here for 5 secs, then the RGB screen comes up.. wtf?

Same with heradiag.nbh

Now tried again the Hard reset, it said succesfull, but when it tries to boot I just get a green to black gardient image, something like this: http://www.cylekx.net/help/tutorial_assets/images/byte ramp and green gradient.jpg (but rotated), and nothing else happens.

Any ideas to get the device back to life?

Maybe there are some hardware malfunction inside the phone?

Thanks, and sorry if I posted this to a wrong thread. (was not sure where it should go)

Just got a WhiteScreen crash at the "Checking SD Contents" screen.. It cant be software problem i guess.

[Wing, P4350 General] baronmxc:
While your phone is in Bootloader mode, install the original ROM with the RUU. All Heralds (P4350) and Atlas'(Wing P4351) can be flashed while on the bootloader screen. Just disregard the step on the RUU that says to make sure your phone is connected to ActiveSync. Also if you have downloaded the whole RUU for the Original ROM, you have to edit the .EXE file to remove the .SPL file that is inside. You can use 7-Zip to get inside of the .EXE file. If not, then just install the ROM as you normally would. You will not need a SD card to install this. Let us know what happens. EVERYONE: if I have forgotten to mention something, please add.

Hah, i was so unlucky :D A chip on the motherboard burnt, so if u plugged in the USB it crashed immadiatelly, no wonder why the PC couldnt recognise it..

More Info:

Now i can connect with MTTY and write commands in the bootloader. With this SPL version most commands i found doesnt work, but I got some information about my phones status: the GoldCard's security level is 0, thats correct. The problem is with the CID: GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecode

I think the problem is this, since it cant get the CID, cant verify the rom matches .

I can write things with mtty into ram or storage, is it possible to write the whole rom directly to the devices boot dir?
[Wing, P4350 General] baronmxc:
a INVALID MODEL ID error occurs when you use the wrong RUU/ROM for a phone. Heralds must use the Herald RUU and Wings must use the Wing RUU.

Herald RUU (P4350) <- English version is the 3rd link.

T-Mobile Wing [Atlas](P4351) RUU <- Phone Number and IMEI Required

T-Mobile Wing [Atlas](P4351) RUU<- Phone Number and IMEI NOT Required however I believe that this is an older Windows 6.0 Build

If you want to keep your phone hard spl'd, you need to modify the EXE of the RUU and erase the SPL.nbh file.

As far as writing the ROM directly, that is out of my expertise. Someone else will have to answer that.
[Wing, P4350 General] CheeseDave:
Thanks for your help, but as i said my device ID is messed up with the USPL process... "GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder" None of the RUUs works.

Waiting for the directly-writing method, or i'll have to replace the storage at the mainboard... (wont be cheap). :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Im in the process of making my own theme but there is one part i'm stuck on. In certain places the colours are not from a png but from a registry setting i.e the list selectors in call history, or apps like Resco Explorer.

I suspect it's the reg entry in tsk as below:

ThemeValues"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

FF,FF,FF,00,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,FF,FF,FF,00,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,50,50,50,00,FF,FF,FF,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

This gives a shade of grey but how do i edit this string to make those same selectors black? I think it is the 50,50,50 part so do i just lower those values or is there more to it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yep, that's the value to change. You can even achieve more complicated results like inverting the system colors (as seen in kane159 HollBlack Themes).

For the selection colors you mentioned you already found the right digits, you have to change them to 00,00,00 for black. You need to understand how the hexadecimal RGB-notation works for this :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thank you for confirming that. At least it's not going to be trial and error now :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Here's a trickier one. Hopefully somebody will know the solution:

When you tap and hold on an item to bring up a context menu there is the circle of dots animation. How does one modify the colour of that now? I understand that it used to be an entry in the same place as above called 40 with a Binary value. I assume as i don't have that value that the method has changed?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Look in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme, there are four values (BaseColor1 through BaseColor4). The dots you mentioned get the color by somehow mixing these four values together... I have BaseColor1 and 3 set to black (simply 0) and the other two to white (FFFFFF hex), and the dots are grey. They also controll the gradient in some legacy message boxes (for example when deleting something from the file explorer).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
I see what you mean! Mine are set to the same values as yours and so are obviously grey too. I want them black really so i will try it with all values set to 0.

Thanks again for your help!

EDIT: Well, i altered the values of all four to 0 in my tsk and re-installed my Theme. It's still grey :rolleyes: I guess there must be more to it than this. It's not a big deal but if you have any other suggestions i'd really appreciate it.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
hi guys, i am very much happy to see that there is so much of activity going on to strip down tattoo & install whatever ROM we want... but its also sad that its not successful....

to me, its very cluttered in this forum, there are so many threads about getting an entrance to tattoo from various sides so that we can cook its ROM.

just tell us how far you developers are from obtaining success for your hardwork ???? we all cant wait to install 2.1 on our cute little tatoo....

guys, give us the good news ASAP..... please....;)
[Click Android Development] eldrid:
getting the 2.1 on ur tattoo is no big deal, HTC most probably will release it sooner or later. the real challenge here is gaining root access to the tattoo in order to install some really useful applications. so far all paths that devs have tried have met roadblocks, hopefully some day an S-Off SPL will be made or acquired from somewhere which should help.
[Click Android Development] eldrid:
also i found this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.uk-co-neilandtheresa-instantroot2-qAmj.aspx i don't know how it works, nor do i know if it will work on the tattoo if some devs here could look into it and explain how it works and whether it will on the tattoo(considering that they haven't found a loophole in the current kernel yet) i guess it would be great.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
is it so difficult to know how tattoo works & what all its loop holes are even after releasing source code ??? i must really appreciate the hard work of those guys who did bring out this tattoo... hats of to you guys... you have really made this little wizard a hard to crack one.... we all must appreciate...

does anyone here knows how to install 2.1 on my tattoo ??? i am more than happy if i know the steps to update to 2.1. i dont want to root this tattoo if it seems so difficult to do it... why crack our head for almost impossible thing ???

anyway, may be cyanogen has not developed any interest in developing custom ROMs for tatto... it looks strange to me either...

may be some high end hacker / tech freak who knows in & out of linux must lead us to the victory path. i dont know when that day comes.... waiting for that to happen ASAP with fingers crossed..... :(
[Click Android Development] -bm-:
Simply yes. Having the sourcecode doesn't automaticaly mean it is easier to crack a system (that would be bad for Linux as a server operating system since it is opensource...)

It actually looks like the tattoo has got a very clever security system that makes it impossible to flash roms on it that aren't officially signed by HTC. May be we will never be able to crack this wall. Beeing able to root the Tattoo might be the only option to flash custom roms on the tattoo in the future.

There is a big interest and I hope to see cyanogen on tattoo one day, but as you already read it looks like custom flashing depends on rooting. Might be that we will see 2.1 on tattoo in 2 weeks or never. An unsatisfying situation, I know!

Some of them are even here but the combination of much work to be done and less time means all of you have to wait. And Linux was never ment to be a crackable system... ;-)

But crossing fingers is always a good idea.

[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
thanks for ur answers.... we are all in the same boat i guess....

but i got one question for you, how could the google nexus be rooted before its official launch ??? it is also android phone which means linux back bone suport it has got.... so we all know that tattoo got released much before the nexus. by rules, nexus should have tough security system & should have shown better resistance towards hacking, but its not the case anymore....

but why tattoo only is like that ... means so adamant to reverse engineering ??? i simply hate that... being free for all & open source, why in the hell you restrict the hardware/software options & make it difficult for all ?? anyway, we will pay for the applications which we like to use & moreover apss are not that expensive??? even then why do you do so ???

i am in the mood of selling my tattoo & getting either hero or nexus.... this is so rediculous.... definitely, may be because its cheap people are not putting enough hard work or not at all showing any interest in making this little nerd dance to our tunes.... this is so pathetic.... i hate this device..... i am selling it ASAP.... :mad:
[Click Android Development] mainfram3:
Heya.

The Nexus is open because Google decided so. It wasn't "hacked". All you have to do is use fastboot to unlock the device and then you can flash whatever you wish to it. The Tattoo doesn't have this option, like many devices before and after it, so we need to crack it, to root it and then we'll be able to flash whatever we wish to it. I'm 100% sure that the Tattoo will be rooted, maybe not today or tomorrow (and again, who knows) ?

I suggest you do what I did: enumerate why you need root or custom roms on this device. Is it really that important ? How long are you ready to wait for them ? If you need root and custom roms right now then my advice would be to sell your Tattoo and get a Nexus. If you can wait a little longer then let's see what's around the corner :)

Me, personally, I love the design of the Tattoo. Preety small and powerfull. My better half as a Hero but I still prefer the Tattoo. If I can get a custom rom on it, that would be interesting. If I can get root so I can mess with it, that would be very cool. If I can help other people to get root on it, that would make my day.

Regards,

[Click Android Development] mobisat:
I have only recently got my Tattoo and at the moment I am happy with it being debranded from Orange. I've not really played with it at all yet, so need to see what apps I need to put on it. Cooked roms would obviously be a bonus but happy so far.
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
People are working around the clock on rooting the HTC Tattoo. But, these hackers also have a real life too. Therefore, they can't spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year hacking full-time, they would need to eat, sleep, walk, run, swim and the like.

People need to understand this. No matter how hard it is, we'll succeed.

Personally, I love the HTC Tattoo. It's the best phone I ever had. Seeing a CyanogenMod port for the Tattoo once rooted would be epic. I'll be cooking ROMs when mine's rooted.

We need to be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day. Sit back from the computer. Read our hacking stories in other threads. Absorb the knowledge others are sharing. Test out our exploits. Give your two cents on the handset. Give feedback. Enjoy the community.

Without people like the ones that are now in the Tattoo scene, the Tattoo would be dead in the water. Unloved and unwanted. IMO, I brought this because I thought the Dream was bulky and the Magic was limited. I was thinking of getting a Hero, but now, Tattoo is where I'll stay.

I hope what I said will encourage others to wait before they ask "IS IT OVER?". It's not, unless we raise the white flag. :)
[Click Android Development] zipredictive:
Yea, I quote everything. There are lot of people working for us... testing and testing spending time and money (some people bought the tattoo just to root it) just to give us the chance to see something new on our cute little but powerfull device.

They are diehard and they don't give up if they couldnt root the tattoo... they continue to work on it...

so.... I think the best way is to give em help and another important thing is to say....

...oh thank you guys.... your work is really appreciated... ;)

I think its the best way to encourage them !
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
ok, i will wait.... sorry if i have hurted anyone here... i saw several threads with different loop holes getting discovered every other day... hence i asked so.

please dont mis-understand me... i am also here to help you guys..... let me know what help i can offer here to help this little bomb to root....

i would be more than happy the day when it gets rooted just like many others.... hail tattoo.... hail the people who are working on it.... keep up the good work bros.... good luck..:cool:
