:)

try this - charge ur battery - tough part, you need to have an external charger OR someone elses diamond to do this...

u know how to flash from bootloader right? flash back original radio - 1.00.25 should work.

now flash a rom from bootloader

did it get wet or are u in a high humidity area?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LORDShadowMan:
I dont know any way to flash another bootloader without an operating system... ;)

i had a similar problem that my diamond stuck in booting up the os... no rom worked --> service helped. a damaged mainboard was the issue.

seems to be the same with your diamond. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jemmauk:
My suspicion is that you have a bad connection somewhere or a bad rom chip..

When we had problems with hard drives what we used to do is put the drive into a freezer - still connected to a machine - once it was cold enough we'd start it and the drive would probably read and allow us to get data off it cold when it would refuse to even access at normal room/system temperatures.

I would suspect that there is some sort of physical memory or connection problem. I would be surprised if it was a battery issue because extreme cold tends to kill batteries not bring them back to life (witness the joys of doing ground scanning at -5c in a gale - the batteries that lasted 5 hours in the lab, lasted all of 20 minutes).

Hate to say it but you are probably looking at a new motherboard for the phone - although it might be worth getting a cheap battery to test out that option too.

Have you tried connecting it to a charger and trying to start the phone then? - that would probably tell you whether its battery or system. You should expect the phone to go into bootloader or start normally if its a battery problem when you have the power connected. If it isnt, then its lilkely the board and you are looking at a new phone or expensive repair.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
i think the screenshot he's attached is the bootloader - or i may be wording it wrong - what is the tri-color screen called?

so if he can get there - he can flash right?

ps. when i had this issue - it worked the way i mentioned, may or may not work for him - but worth a try before sending for repair i would suggest :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RayEarth:
Hi all,

I just found the attached Qilin InCall Recorder - both Cab and OEM. However, after I installed the files in my Diamond with Qilin dialer, there is no option to record during calls?

However, I can manually execute \Windows\ICR.exe and that works fine.

Any ideas? Can't find any other ICR that works with the Qilin dialer...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hanisms:
Does not work on my HD2 after run the file from a folder windows\icr.exe

Totally n00b at this....

:D

I have a Vodafone Branded HTC Magic,

i live in the Netherlands...(europe)

It has the fastboot-option described here (3 skateboarding droids):

(link removed due to being a new user, grrr)

I also looked at the directions given at unlockr.com (link removed due to being a new user, grrr)

I am in doubt to root my device (warranty-void & not keen bricking my device.)

Questions i have:

1.Can i backup/restore my current/original state (android 1.6) prior to doing anything?

2.How to root safely with the right method for my specific version? (non tmobile and tips at unlockr.com seem to be for everything but vodafone branded version)

3.If i eventually succeed in rooting, how do i pick the RIGHT rom for me? I've read a lot of info on this and other fora, but i cannot seem to find the right rom for me, nor to determine how to find it out...

Any tip/help is highly appreciated...

Thnx

I'm new to the forum and I am in the same situation as you but with a 32B motherboard Vodaphone Australian version.

I have read the same information as you from unlockr.com and other post in here but still haven't been able to do it.

I also tried eclipse and SDK tools but i must be doing something wrong because I haven't succeed. I can't get my Mac to see my device using the command 'adb devices'

If any one in here could help please?

This will answer this Question:

2.How to root safely with the right method for my specific version? (non tmobile and tips at unlockr.com seem to be for everything but vodafone branded version)

Questions i still have:

1.Can i backup/restore my current/original state (android 1.6) prior to doing anything?

3.If i eventually succeed in rooting, how do i pick the RIGHT rom for me? I've read a lot of info on this and other fora, but i cannot seem to find the right rom for me, nor to determine how to find it out...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maddoguk:
Go for Cyanogen's to begin with because it is easy.

Once you are used to Amon_RA's recovery you can take a nandroid copy to your SD card, do a full wipe and then try another. If you don't like it or it does not run do a nandroid restore.

With a UK Magic (32B) it is safer to look at the ROM's here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] McFroger3:
Exactly what i was looking for thanks!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
Anyone else gonna touch this to get it to work off the sdcard?? That would make this so sweet!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
good stuff! I altered this a bit to work from the sd card.

edit: I see godsfilth did too...nice :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
i got it working don't know if theres any negative side effects everything seems to work fine just delete the bootanimation.tmp file when you add new animations

installation is the same as before except I have the boot animations going to /sdcard/bootanimation so put them there

might want to nandroid before installing i did but im paranoid about things like that.

also im not responsable for anything that happens if you flash this file everything runs fine on my phone so i think its stable but all mods run some form of minor risk

also not responsible for worn out sdcards or missed calls/sms sue to the constant rebooting of your phone to show off the animation :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Are we supposed to rename each bootanimation.zip with a unique name, or keep the filenames "bootanimation.zip" and make individual directories? Renaming each bootanimation.zip and placing them in /sdcard/bootanimation is not working for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
have you tried deleting the temp file that the script generates? I have all different kinds of names for my boot animations so i dont think it matters as long as there all in the same directory
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Well, there was no .tmp file created, and I was using the /sdcard/bootanimation version, which did not work for me. Using the original version works fine. Thanks

Edit: Although, I'd rather have them on sd...I'll keep trying.

Edit2: Still no go on the /sdcard option...wonder if using Desire Rom or apps2sd messes it up? Doesn't seem like it should. The /sdcard script looks fine. Hmmm...?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
what ROM are you using i'm running CM's latest if you are running CM then try pushing the script again following the directions in the first post just use the sdcard script instead also

i have no idea why the script Nighthound posted works and my sdcard one does not. all i did was edit his script to mount the sdcard load from /sdcard/bootanimation and then unmount the sdcard literally added for lines of text and edited the load directory

EDIT:so you're using the desire rom where does the desire ROM keep its init.d if its not /system/etc then you will need to push the file to wherever the desire rom stores it plus i think desire uses a different format for boot animation since it has sound too
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
I know. It looks fine and there's no reason why it shouldn't be working. Right now I'm on Manup's NexDesire. I've been back and forth like 3x now and OP script is the only one working for me. Oh well, not a big deal. When I switch ROM's, I'll try your's again. Thanks for the ideas.

Edit for your edit: init.d in this rom is also in /system/etc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
Sweet! The sdcard script worked like a champ! Thanks for modifying that. Now I can just keep adding all the coolness without getting bored!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Thanks for the help! I've updated the OP with the new version. By the way, you don't have to delete the temp file because it is regenerated every boot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
Are we supposed to delete the one we have in /system/media? I haven't actually seen a random change. I've seen the same one everytime I reboot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
I've only got the random changing to work using the original script with folder /data/local/bootanimation. That is working flawlessly, however.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
I got a different animation the first time I booted & now I only see one everytime I boot. I have the stock, cyanogen, win7nexus & both QTeknology's white & black animations but all I see is the win7nexus.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Which version of the script are you using (v1.0, godsfilth's version or v1.1)? And where are you putting the animation files?

Are you using any custom ROM?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
I'm using 1.1 and all my animations are in /sdcard/bootanimation. Is there a difference between godsfilth's & your 1.1?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
The only difference is I added an error check in 1.1. Other than that the sdcard mount procedure is the same. From your earlier description, you said that the script copied the animation to /data/local once, and then didn't work again after that? Did you chmod the script after copying it into /system/etc/init.d ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Yes, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm on Manup's NexDesire 1.2, which may or may not be the culprit. Was suggested earlier that because the Desire ROMs sometimes call a boot sound in addition to bootanimation, this may screw with it. I haven't really looked into it, but this ROM has no boot sound. I don't know if it is because it is

1. removed the .mp3

2. the portion of the script that calls it is commented out

3. both 1 and 2

I hope 2 or 3 is true, because that would be cleaner.

I'll check it out further when I get a chance.

In the meantime I suggest posting both versions of the script, so it can work for everyone. Thanks Nighthound
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
I can't get adb to work properly on my laptop so I actually made an update.zip to get the file in system/etc/init.d. Shouldn't that get it working properly without having to chmod anything? If not, would be nice enough to give me the commands to chmod from terminal? I know it can't be too different from the adb commands but I just wanna make sure I do it right
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
from terminal, type:

chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/10bootanimation

if you look at the adb command, basically it's asking adb to execute the command using shell :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
don't forget

su

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
if anyone is wondering i seem to have found a way to fix the boot animations not being random when using A2SD it has to do with the file name being "10bootanimation"

im not sure about other roms but i finally got around to playing with the cm source when i realized that the A2SD script in the init.d directory is "10apps2sd" i changed the file name of the random boot animation script to "09bootanimtion" and now it works with the A2SD method used in the 2.1 Snack-pack and should work with any A2SD method but i haven't tested them all

so anyone that was having trouble with the script try renaming it to "09bootanimation" without the quotes

and then follow the first post instructions as usual
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Ahh thanks, I don't use the Snackpack so I didn't realise the Apps2SD script was numbered 10 (the scripts are run in alphabetical order when booting). My script needs to be run before the Apps2SD is set up.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mssmison:
great idea!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kassemalaa:
Not working

I followed the procedures as indicated, but i'm getting a blank screen when i boot the phone, is there any way to revert to the original method?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Re: [SCRIPT] Random Boot Animations (Updated 2010-03-28)

Do you mean the method that stores the boot animations in /data ? I can put up that script in the first post.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kassemalaa:
i mean going back to the original bootanimation method, putting the bootanimation.zip in the system/media/ directory
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
i tried this and no go ... did everything said in the instructions ..created the folder on the sdcard and all placed animation zips in there ..rebooted and just shows me the regular cyan boot up. .. what am i doing wrong .. im using the newest by the way 5.0.6

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nedlinin:
Would also like to know where I can find myself some nice animations. Found some *videos* of nice ones, but very few downloads.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
The script doesn't work with CM 5.0.6 for now, something's wrong with accessing the sdcard in the latest update. Will update the first post when it's fixed.

I can put up a list in the first post later, in the meantime you can search the Nexus One forums for "Boot Animation" threads. =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Script updated to v1.3, now works with CM 5.0.6! Please read the first post. I've also updated the first post with a list of some boot animations. :)

An idea to remove the initial delay when copying

Hi there, I am not so knowledgable about this OS, and was wondering if any of the following ideas would be things people are interested in:

1. Is it possible for the script to calculate and copy the random bootanimation AFTER the phone has already booted up, or will the phone always become slightly lagged when it copies the zip from the SD card to the phone mem, and not really give any benefit?

That way, when you turn the phone on there shouldn't be a delay, since the random bootanimation file IO was performed prior to you rebooting the phone already.

2. Caching the filename of the chosen bootanimation somewhere so that you also save time having to re-copy the same animation on top of the one in /data/local (or use the name to eliminate that choice from the pool of choices).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Ideally the animation should be copied when the phone is idle after the bootup process, but doing that is being the scope of this simple script. Then script has to be run some time during boot up, and so it doesn't matter whether it is done at the start or at the end. Perhaps someone with greater programming expertise can write an app that automates this process (as well as add in other goodies such as graphically choosing an animation, etc).

In any case, I think the copying process adds less than a second to the bootup time (only tested on my Nexus One though).

That's a good suggestion, I'll see how I can work it in. I've been meaning to eliminate the selection of the same animation, but I've been lazy. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frankzua77:

How can I add sound to the boot????
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Frankly, I'm not sure about that either... sorry :0
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] j_r0dd:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
I'm not using enom's rom so I don't have any experience with it. I'll download it and see if there's a place to put user scripts to run at start up.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] j_r0dd:
i'll look around somewhere in there as well or maybe contact enomther and find out. i am used to using CM and this rom is very different
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pentace:
using CM 5.0.6 but the boot animations never change. i can reboot 100x and it will always be the same image unless i delete that boot animation then it will pick another one and only use that one everytime
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Did you push the fstab file as stated in the OP?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
Will this be updated to 5.0.7... as currently i dont think it works with it ..we ll at least from what im seeing after i just updated ..?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Re: [SCRIPT] Random Boot Animations v1.3 (Updated 2010-04-20, now works on CM 5.0.6)

Yes the script will be updated for 5.0.7. I haven't had time to test it out yet. :-)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mattisdada:
This scrpt worked perfectly fine for 5.0.7T2 and T3. Im currently flashing 5.0.7.1 and ill report back if it doesnt work. But it probably should if it worked on T2/3.

By the way, fantastic work! I hope that this gets baked into the CM rom someday, and will allow use to enable/disable it via spare parts/another menu.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
works fine on cm test versions and on cm5 D/S. still needs the fstab though.

now i just wish i knew how to make it work with froyo, i have been using the script with gscript to simulate the effect but obviously not as cool when i have to remember to run the script.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Just tested the script with CM 5.0.7x, and it's working properly. Updated OP.

This is weird, two things come to mind: did you redo the installation instructions after your upgrade? Note that you also need to push the fstab file as per 5.0.6.

Not sure why CM 5.0.7 is still missing fstab, but pushing the current version works. I think running of user scripts is an additional function added by Cyanogen, so unfortunately it's not going to work in stock froyo. =(

I've just installed 5.0.7.1 and it's working. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chosen_on184:
Totally forgot that new update overwrites certain things ..

Pushing files now see what happens ...

And it's working again ...

:o:o:o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Good point, I shall include that in the OP. Thanks. =)

Still works with new cyan 5.0.8 yaaaaayyyyy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bluezz:
I loved this on Kang-o-rama 0.9 but now I'm on MCR.

Sadly this script did not work on r20 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Nexus One - Froyo FRF85B.

I followed these 3 steps:

adb remount

adb push 09bootanimation /system/etc/init.d

adb shell chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/09bootanimation

These steps were successful and I also confirmed using root explorer that I have /system/etc/init.d/09bootanimation copied correctly.

The bootanimation folder and a working boot animation zip was sitting on the SD card too (tested on kang rom) but upon reboot I got the stock animation :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
I'm not sure how MCR works, because I use CM. Kang-o-rama uses CM as its base ROM, which is why this script works with it. If MCR reads and executes script files from the /system/etc/init.d directory then this should work, otherwise... :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ShyTownFantasy:
Why doesn't it work with all boot animations? For example the nexus-bios-boot.zip where it does up as dos bootup.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Can you explain a bit more what you mean by it doesn't work? Does the nexus-bios-boot animation work (ie. without using Random Boot Animations) when you copy it directly to /data/local?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ShyTownFantasy:
Yes it works fine if I push it out normally without the random script. I just get a black screen when the animation is suppose to be shown when I am using the random script.

The ones I got to work.

boot-bsod-v2.zip

cyan-bootanimation.zip

Decepticon.zip

supermario.zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Let me try it out and see what happens.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nighthound:
Hi, I discovered the problem. The zip files from the Android Bios Boot thread are signed zip files meant to be flashed in recovery. Browse inside the zip file in the /data/local directory and you'll find a bootanimation.zip. Extract that file and rename it whatever you like and put it on your SD card in the usual directory. It should work now. :)

PS. I checked out the animation and it's pretty cool, adding to my own collection as well heheh
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ShyTownFantasy:
Awesome, Thanks for researching into this!! I tested and it worked.
