[P3600 Software Upgrading] thebulletfromhell:
From personal experience, I found out that in windows vista and 7, you can't flash HardSPL and dead device. So I put this together from the dead trinityguides.info and other post in this forum. So follow this to the letter.

1a. If your p3600i is stuck in the HTC screen, put it in boot loader and plug it in.

1b. If its stuck in boot loader, just plug it in.

2. You need to download and extract the Windows Xp drivers to a memorable location (e.g. the desktop). You can download them here:

* Vista x32 drivers

* Vista x64 drivers

the 64-bit drivers are unsigned, so if you are using Vista x64 go to the bottom of this post to disable driver signing and then follow the rest of this guide

Run 'Windows Mobile Device Center', and click 'Connection Settings'.

Uncheck the 'Allow USB Connections' box, and select 'OK'.

Run 'Services' by opening the start menu and typing 'Services'

ensure the 'Windows Mobile-based connectivity' and Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity' services are started. If they are not, click the service name and press the 'start' button on the top bar.

Image

Load 'Device Manager' by opening the Start menu and typing 'Device Manager'.

Expand the 'Mobile devices' section and right click the 'HTC USB Sync'

Select 'Update Driver Software'.

Click 'Browse my computer for driver software'.

Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.

Click 'Have Disk' or "Browse".

Click 'Browse', and browse to the location where you extracted the ZIP file in the first step.

Vista x32 users double click 'wceusbsh.inf', Vista x64 users double click 'wceusbshx64.inf'

Select 'HTC USB Sync' from the list, and click 'Next'.

Wait while your driver is installed.

Run 'Task Manager' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'taskmgr'. Then find the 'WMDC.EXE' item in the processes section, and click 'End Process'.

In 'Windows Mobile Device Center, re-enable the 'Allow USB connections' .

3a.If your device is bricked, download stock rom from htc.com NOT FROM A MIRROR IN RAPIDSHARE/MEDIAFIRE/4SHARED/MEGAUPLOAD etc... and flash it with no compatibility mode.

3b.To HardSPL: Run RUU and flash normally, but when you get to the JumpSPL bootloader, it will erroe 260. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SECURITY PERMISSIONS AND NEED TO MANUALLY ALLOW THE PROGRAMS TO RUN.

KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN[/B][/B][/B], and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, PLUG THE PHONE BACK IN, wait for HTC USB Sync to install and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL.

To install driver in vista/7 x64

1. Start -> type gpedit.msc right click in the result gpedit.msc and select run as administrator. Select yes in the UAC prompt if you keep it enabled.

2. Navigate to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Driver Installation.

3. Enable the "Code signing for drivers" and then choose "Ignore".

4. Close gpedit.msc.

Hope this guide help you out there.
[Nexus One Android Development] Part Four:
This is one feature that's surprisingly missing from Android. Is there any way to add it in or develop an app to do it?
[Nexus One Android Development] tropmonky:
Hell yes. I Miss that so much from my old win mo custom rom days!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] rpcameron:
Yes, it actually is supported in the source code, but it is disabled because there are some issues with it recognizing the voice command over BT, IIRC. I believe the line in the source is in BluetoothHeadset.java, or something like that. It is referenced in the bug filed against it on the Android tracker.

Perhaps some of the devs who build their custom ROMs from source can enable this in one of their future ROMs?
[Nexus One Android Development] Part Four:
Developers? Can you chime in please?
[Nexus One Android Development] Part Four:
Hello out there!
[Nexus One Android Development] tropmonky:
Well at least it sounds like out will be possible!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gilligan8:
I backed up my contacts, call history and text with sprite.

When I restore everything looks great BUT when I make a call the call shows up as "unknown" and all new history (and text) show up as the number and doesn't reference the contacts database.

Anyone know how to fix this... this is the second rom I've had this issue on.

I'm sure the answer is out there and I have searched... just such an odd thing to try and figure out keywords to form an effective query. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] karthikramaiah:
I also faced the similar issue.

There will be contacts list but it will not match when i make the call.

My assumption is do not install the backup.exe file directly first install the sprite backup cab file. then ren the backup.

It has worked for me. try to install the same version of the cab in which the backup is taken
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gilligan8:
Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately, that didn't work. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gilligan8:
I ended up using a pimbackup for the contacts (which would lock up importing my text) so I used Sprite for my text. Dirty but it worked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Also, Sprite back up does not work from WM version to version. You cannot do a system back up in 6.0 and restore in 6.1 or 6.1 to 6.5.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gilligan8:
THAT must be the problem!

Thanks for that info... luckily I backed it up several ways. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mister B:
I would recommend trying SPB Backup. Works well for me, far better results than Sprite. Also 3G backup for contacts & sms is a useful tool.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
I currently have an HTC Touch Pro that I got when my work used Optus as a provider. Shortly after that, they moved to Telstra, so I've been on the old 3G (non NextG) speeds ever since :-S

A work collogue just gave me an HTC FUZE - which as I understand it is a US AT&T branded version, which supports the 850Mhz UTMS frequency that Telstra requires for their NextG network. (There also seems to be an extra button?) Some threads here seem to indicate it should work at NextG speeds which is encouraging.

Can someone tell mw what the best options are to set this up? I'm hoping it's unlocked, but I saw some unlocking instructions on the Wiki. Am I able to load the stock standard world wide TTC Pro ROM from the HTC Australian site? Or will the different frequency support mess it up?

Should I use the standard AT&T ROM from the HTC US site (I don't really want the AT&T branding, but it seems to have features like slide-to-answer which would be nice).

Or will I have to go down a cooked ROM path? (Stability is the prime importance here). Any suggestions of a good ROM that supports the FUZE?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trowakage:
As long as your network has 850mhz support, it should be fine. The Fuze has the most frequency support of any phone, and definitely supports NextG's HSDPA and HSUPA networks.

As for the ROM, its really a matter of preference, doesn't affect frequency support. Though for better reception and battery life you might want to look into replacing your radio ROM (its in a sticky in the ROM section).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
hi, Is any chance to install apps on SD card? Thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
I installed system to nand and data to sdcard runs like crap but it works
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MrRulas!:
Technically... yes. Its linux running under the hood, so maybe we can try to put the data of the apps inside the SD and just links in the NAND side.

But I believe the speed of those particular apps is going to suck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
I did exactly this now maybe if I had all the knowledge to make such changes it may not have ran so bad, it actually didn't run as poorly as expected. I really had no idea what I was doing but I started here by changing this value in sysinit.rc " export ANDROID_DATA /sdcard/data "

Im sure there are more that would need changed to get optimal performance, I copied the files over through adb shell and rebooted. All I can say is it works and to test my theory I removed sdcard and the system came to a screeching halt.

I dont know if anyone has been following mssmisons posts about the new sense build but unless smeone can get that build shrunk down I almost foresee a split install such as this to run the newer builds on our limited internal memory
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
and can be better performance with high speed 16GB mem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
I could enable apps-to-SD (which is basically symlinks) like the G1 users do, but it can be buggy (and slow). You'll need an ext2 partition on your SD for that. The very simple way (right now) is to just choose in the installer: NAND for system and SD Partition for data, but as described that will slow down the system. There's an apps2sd script inside /system/etc/init.d of polymod if anyone wants to see how G1 users do it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
How exactly do you use this I think it would be great for non essential apps to be stored on the sdard and save space for all required apps to run
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
Hey guys,

I have a question, can you use the HD on at&t without a data plan? I know at&t forces you into a data plan if you have a smart phone, but if they don't have the IMEI of the HD I'm guessing they wouldn't know that it's a smartphone. Can anyone tell me if it's possible?

Much thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybik:
Can someone get it out of their rom and into one of our Eclair-based ones? It's so awesome, functional and downright -perfect-, it'd even be an argument for me to go get a Milestone. I kid you not.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
I second this. I wouldn't go buy a milestone for it, but it would be nice. And how about compatible with Donut? Every Eclair rom I've used labeled "fast and stable" has been neither so I'm done experimenting for a while.

[General Questions and Answers] dahbossontop:
guys the HD2 as yall know its coming out this month but the only reason that is stopin me is the Google Maps Navigation I luv it and i really use it and its free *** is there any applications to put the Google Maps Navigation on the new HTC HD2?
[General Questions and Answers] dub08:
I want to find the same thing out.. March 24th is approaching quickly and I want this phone but Google Maps is key to my job function.. Why they would not make a cab for me I'm clueless about.. "They being google" incase someone takes it as I'm speaking to developers.
[General Questions and Answers] joe_coolish:
I'm posting this from my HD2 and I'm loving it so far. but my wife has a mytouch and it has google navigation. i want to put it on my phone too! anyone think it will come to the HD2?
[General Questions and Answers] llcooljazz:
Not sure if mentioned anywhere else, but I'd like to give this a little bump.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
I have looked and looked and maybe im just usnig the wrong words in seach but i havenet been able to find anything yet. I am looking for a virgin 1.5 rom that i can use to start freh and make my own rom to flash to my phone. Basically what I am looking for is a rom (not the RUU that puts a factory default on it) but the actual factory original rom before anyone has taken anytihg out or put on there own themes.

I have looked and looked. I find all kinds of roms to flash to my phone but all of them have been violated in some way or anouther. and although they are nice i would rather do it myself than use someone elses.

If this is already discussed somewhere please link me to it and i am sorry but i havent found it.

Thanx in advance for any help anyone can give me.
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
This might be what your looking for..

http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero-roms/6699-cdma-hero-rom-gumbo-rom-1-5c.html#post41536

Check in the sticky wiki for available roms
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
Yeah me too! Damn all these promiscuous ROMs
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
Wouldn't doing an RUU and then rooting give you what you want?
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
This gives you gumbo wich has stuff removed and added I want what gumbo based his off of not what gumbo did too it so to speak. Not that I dont like gumbo but he removed things I want virgin before that.

I have checked all of the roms on the wiki page and all have something done to them.

Where is the one that says here is the stock rom from sprint with nothing done to it.

No, doing the ruu from what I understand installs the factory original to the phone. I want it before it goes into the phone so I can modify it before it goes to the phone. Also I would like to re install the rom whenever I want but using the RUU i would have to use the RUU next time and the update it again.

HeHeHe. Thats funny!!!

This has to be out there. Basically I want a rom that if I flashed it to the phone would be no different than if I bought a new phone from sprint and turned it on.

You cant tell me everyone that roots their phone wants other than stock rom on it.
[Hero CDMA General] david7586:
@ cammel, I agree with justinisyoung

theres not much more to it.

just flash an RUU and root it. this will provide the base files you need for your stock rom.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Ok, say I do the RUU how do I get the rom off the phone to edit it?
[Hero CDMA General] HERNANDEZ4LIFE:
I think what youre talking about doing would be creating a signed update zip. While I dont know how to do it those are probably the key words you'd need to search to find the answers youre looking for. Hope that helps! :)
[Hero CDMA General] ccapasso:
To my understanding the RUU is not a ROM.

It is a return to factory default. You would typically use this option when you needed to take your phone in for repair to the store or to get it back to stock.

So after your run the RUU, you would then root your phone using the method of your choosing, and then you would have what you are asking for.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
When you download the RUU, there is a file called rom.zip

That's what you're looking for.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
I know how to creat a signed update zip I do that alot. I need a rom to sign.

Yes you are correct that the phone would be back to original. But then how do i get that to my computer to edit it?

Also with this method I would have to re root my phone.

Plus Ive heard that you can brick your phone with the RUU with a 110 error thats unbrickable. not exactly fond of that idea.

In th rom.zip there is a bunch of img files. im guessing if i tried to use that it would error out on me. I need the one with like sytem fioles and stuff I can edit.

You cant tell me this isnt out there. People have been modding this rom since it came out. So there has to be an untouched original somewhere to wich you can base your work off of. Otherwise that would meen everyone bases there work off of other peoples and never start from scratch. Is that really the case? Am I the first that wants a fresh rom to start with and build from there?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Contained in the image files is what you're look for.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Ok I have tried extracting info out of the img files with powerISO, magicISO, imageburn, IrfanView, XnVview and Iso buster. But all of them say it is the wrong format.

I have seen multiple threads that link to a how to extract the files using unyaffs and ubuntu but I dont have ubuntu.

So I now have two questions:

First

Is it possible to extract files from an img file using window (windows 7 to be exact) and if it is possible what program would I use.

Second

Is there a tutorial out there Im missing?

Sorry If im being a pain in the A** about this and I usually figure stuff out on my own but this one is really givin me a headache. I have been working for three days on this one and its really getting to me.

If anyone can help me I would Appreciate it.

And thanx to everyone that has tried to help so far. Every time I get an answer that doesnt work it just meens Im one step closer to finding one that does so thanx everyone.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
http://jiggawatt.org/badc0de/android/index.html

Here is a good place to get started.

What you're interested atm is the unyaffs program.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
Google and forum search are really useful tools and the answers to your questions are out there. Just not packaged nice and neat like you would want.

Here's the jist of what you need to get started.

1. Android SDK

2. Java JDK

3. android zip signing tool

4. unyaffs utility

5. RUU

6. start RUU

7. let it go all the way just before the point where it actually starts to flash your phone.

8. check your computers temp folder for the system.img

9. unpackage it using unyaffs

10. enjoy naked young virgin

11. zip devirgined rom back up

12. sign it

13. flash it

14. fix bugs, rinse, repeat

15. try and search next time.

16. sorry about the crankiness, had a lousy day at work.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
hope my step-by-step while not overly detailed was helpful.
[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
are you looking for AOSP? or do you want Sense UI and all that stuff? RUU Includes Sense
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Congrats. Sorry I wasn't so specific first time around. Forgot it was in .img contained as yaffs.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
Holy **** I didn't read one word that.

Good luck man!
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Eh, its ok I learned alot from doing it that way anyway so its not a big deal. Now next time i need one I know exactly what to do.

Dont blame ya. Honestly dont care if anyone does I just had to get it out.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Probably would have been had I read it 7 hours earlier. hehehe
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Basically looking for a rom that, once installed, makes your phone exactly like it was from factory. But Want it in rom form instead of the RUU program that wipes out everything and you have to reroot your phone afterward. This way I can do my own stuff and not have to worry about what was removed or added. Basically the unmodified version of the rom all fresh and clean like it just came on a new phone. With all the apps that come with it stock.
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Exactly what I thought. DAMN! Crazy dude, lol.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
I'm fairly certain that while I did suggest searching for the information like I had to do myself months ago when no one would help me, I actually provided you with good information on what you needed to do to get what you wanted. As a matter of fact, reading back, I think I provided the most descriptive list of steps in this thread. I merely pointed out, that while what you wanted wasn't neatly packaged in an easy to find step-by-step guide it is available by searching. Most times when I see people discuss search, they just call you an idiot and leave it at that. I neither called you an idiot or left it as-is. So while you had a difficult time figuring this stuff out, and yes I recognize it can be difficult, your animosity was largely misdirected at me. I also clearly stated that it was due to a rough day at work. I didn't get vulgar and wasn't frustrated. I hope you've managed to calm down and realize I was actually trying to help you. In either case, good to hear you finally figured it out.
[Hero CDMA General] zenulator:
The RUU will put your phone back to stock..
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
Sorry was going to show how easy it was to search and get the answers but you got what you needed and apparently pointing out how to use the search function upsets you.

I am genuinely glad you found what you needed .
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Although everything was true when I wrote it, I am truly sorry for lashing out at you. It wasnt your fault, and I did lash out at you. I hadnt had any sleep, and was truly frustrated by this whole thing and when I saw what you had wrote, I just had to say something. Hind sight being 20/20, maybe I should have waited to post a reply until I had had some sleep.

As I said, I would look you up afterward, and I did. You have been helpfull to a lot of people here, and I clearly see you were merely trying to be helpful to me. Like I said, I am usually the one people ask, and I rarely ask others for help and that is frustrating in and of itself. I pride myself on never having to ask.

I have taught myself how to code everything from html all the way to vb.net. I have taught myself how to hack the ps1, ps2, xbox, xbox 360, and wii. All of wich arent supported by the manufacturrer. All of which I did without haveing to ask questions. (I take that back, I did ask 3 questions about hacking the wii but none were ever answered.) Rarely do I ever need to which is evident in the fact I have been a member here since 08 but this is the first time I have ever posted anything.

The one time I try to do somethihg that is supported by the manufacturer, and It litteraly drives me nuts.

But anyway, Like I said I truly am sorry for lashing out at you. Even if I was frustrated It doensnt warrant lashing out at someone that was just trying to help. And thank you for being so gracefull as not to lash back. I hope I didnt deter you from helping others and Am truly sorry. I hope you can accept my appology.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Although true, I am not interested in putting it back to stock. I am interested in getting a rom that makes it stock without removing root access every time, and be editable at the same time. Neither of wich you can do with RUU itself. I have been able to pull the rom itself from the RUU and may be able to use it, but I still havent gotten it working yet. But thank you anyway.
[Hero CDMA General] cammel8:
Although sometimes it does upset me sometimes as I am sure it does everyone, I am thankful to anyone that can point me in the right direction. And I havent gotten what I needed yet but I think I am close. I am going to work on it today.

If I do get it working I am going to up it here so anyone that wants it can have it.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
I'll give you some better directions on what to do later today or possibly just put it together in a signed rooted zip and host it for download, depends on what the wife has planned for me to do after work.
