[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
ok so its been awhile since ive been here checked the wiki seen a couple threads that really didnt address my questions/concerns so hopefully someone can answer them here

my story starts with a mytouch 3g w/o 3.5 if that matters that i bought off craigslist and someone rooted it and flashed it with jesusfreks 1.51 rom and when i got it home i noticed issues with the wifi not working when i try to start it the phone just says unable to start wifi i googled this issue and saw alot of people had this issue and most common answer was just to re-flash the phone is this right??

second question is right now i dont have a data plan on my phone until this month is up im on a flex-pay and dont want to pay for a full month of data plan i can only use for 5 days so if i re-flash my phone do i have to activate the phone if so will i be blocked out until i activate the phone??

third question is since i dont have a gold card do i have to make one to re-flash the phone if i have to re-flash to jesusfreke's 1.51 rom or would life be easier just reverting to a stock tmobile rom and repeating the whole process since i dont know what whoever before me had this thing did to it???

sorry if these are stupid questions that have already been answered or are common sense i figure i ask now before i have to create another HELP!!! I BRICKED MY PHONE THREAD thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
First try booting in fastboot (press down back+power). See what SPL and what radio you have. SPL should say something like HBOOT-1.33.0004 and radio should say something like 2.22.32.02 (can't remember the exact radio I have). You should probably write down everything on there and give info on here. Then press menu to turn off the phone.

Boot into recovery mode first (by pressing down home+power) to see if the person before you who rooted the phone had installed a recovery image (you should know how a recovery image looks like). If he has, and preferably Amon_Ra's, then it is rather simple to reflash. Just select wipe data/factory reset from the recovery image, flash a new ROM, and you're all set.

As for the data plan, you can easily skip activation steps and enable wifi and access your gmail through the market. If your wifi doesn't work, then I guess you do have to get someone's SIM with a data plan to activate it. But without having a data plan and wifi not working, I would say your magic is kind of useless.. (well unless you install ASTRO on there and install tons of apks I guess, but still no connectivity)

I don't know if there is a stock tmobile ROM that doesn't have the perfect SPL (mine being vodafone and I haven't researched it) so you probably have to do your research again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
if your on jesusfreks rom you should be able to boot into recovery and install any rom from there as your already have root, you dont need a gold card (unless you borked up and installed a tmo rom already)...

check to see if you can get into recovery by powering down the phone and holding the home key as you power up...if you can do that then just download the rom of your choice, place it on the root of your sd card and install from recovery..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
when i hold down the home and power key i do get into the recovery screen which has the back up restore and apply sdcard update etc... so i guess i can just throw another rom onto the card and update that way???

Hi Guys,

how can I install a GERMAN MS Voice Commands in ENGLISH ROM (TAEL ROM)?

I always get a error message, that the help file is missing. Message: Cannot open HELP. The file cannot be found....

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xhafa:
mysterious...

normally, it should't be a problem, because you can install on your WM Phone whatever you want to and in wich language you want to. CF 3.5 schon installiert?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andyecht:
TAEL Rom und MS Voice Commands

Hi,

ich habe die deutsche version versucht zu installiere. bekomme aber die meldung, dass das help file nicht gefunden wird. die englische version war im rom fest drin.

woran kann es liegen? versuche nun mal die framework 3.5 zu installiern. mal sehen, was geht.

bitte infos,

andy
[Windows Mobile Software Development] REALDEM0:
ich habe das selbe problem... nach nem hard rest funzt der vioce commander immer aber dann wenn ich ein paar cabs installiert habe kommt beim booten immer ne fehler meldung nicht gefund

nervt mich voll :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andyecht:
Hi Leute,

keine Ahnung, wie ich das gemacht habe, aber es klappt nun.

Habe Framework Net3.5 neu installiert, und wieder deinstalliert und dann nochmal installiert, neu gebootet mehrfach, und dann Voice Commands englisch installiert und wieder deinstalliert, und nun Voice Commands deutsch installiert, und nun klappt es.

Was das ausschlaggebende war, kann ich aber nicht sagen.

Ich gehe davon aus, das die 3.5- Version fehlte. Evtl ist auch in meinem ROM 3.7 installiert gewesen, hatte zuerst immer die Fehlermeldung, dass eine neuere Version als 3.5 installiert ist. Aber irgendwie hat es nun geklappt.

Zum Glück. Einfach mal alles probieren.

Gruss,

Andy

hi everybody not been able to recieve texts for a few days now but i can send them been through all the usual vodaphone "try this's" an still nothing anyone had this problem? cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sturgie:
can some one show me how i can do this

"Go to key in registy "HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN" and copy the value from 'AdapterName" string. Now go to key in registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN" and edit "DeviceName" string. You see there value like this: "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511". Delete the last part of this value ("TNETW12511") and past the value "AdapterName" which you copy at end. Make soft reset and that is all. Now Wifi button on your device should work properly"

im a begginer with this kind of stuff so any help would be appriciated
[Windows Mobile Software Development] majorassface:
you need to have some sort of registry editor. phm is good. I use resco myself(paid). Then just like browsing in a file explorer, navigate to the path mentioned and follow the steps. Pretty easy stuff once you've done it. Hope this helps.

Link to phm registry editor:

http://www.smartphonefreeware.org/download/phm-registry-editor-0.70

btw, this is posted in the wrong section
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sturgie:
thanks ill have a look at that.

and oh how do u move a thread?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
Here's the deal–I'm a graphic designer who found myself sans job, and have been looking to do some different kind of work to keep from going insane. I have thought about trying to prog my own apps, but java is still a bit over my head. So if there are any devs that could use some design work for apps, wallpapers, or whatever, PM me and we'll go from there. Right now, im thinking this service would be free of charge...

If you really want to, you can even check out my past work here.

http://travisslate.org

Lets push the design forward and make the Android standard better!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] serialtoon:
I agree with pushing the Android standard forward. Some of the best apps out there look like total trash.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
Preach on brother. AND it really pisses me off that having a grid of rounded rectangle icons with reflections is seen as the pinnacle of mobile design today. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Suggestion: make mock-up's of some popular apps with better layout and post them. You may get some attention and create a buzz.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
AH! Thats a superb idea. I have a couple in mind, but does anyone have any requests they want to see in particular?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
This depends on how far you are looking to go. Just icons, full UX?

Perhaps a mockup of a file browser (root explorer for example) would be a good start. They are all quite rudimentary in layout/design but most function well.

Again, this depends on what aspect of design you are talking about.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
I dont have any problems designing logos and icons, but I'm really looking to get into designing full UX.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
Ah nice.

I would definitely overhaul a client app that has a TON of downloads in the market. Most devs have zero understanding about layout, nor do they care. File browers/explorers, chat clients, irc clients, etc are all big time offenders.

Just look at the top downloaded free apps and go for one that you actually use. By selecting one you use, the flow through the app is something you are familiar with and fixing/redoing the experience becomes personal and understood.

That's how I would go about it anyways :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drpfenderson:
This is a key part, IMO. Great advice from deprecate.

Also, FYI - I just wanted to let you know that your portfolio is very impressive. As a fellow UI designer, you've got some skills. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
Hey, thx for the kind words. Sometimes you can forget what you have accomplished inn the past when times are tough.

I just know that I've used the great stuff you guys have made, and I really want to give back to the community. Since I cant prog worth a damn, graphics is gonna have to be it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maedox:
I hope you are able to do some work with Android developers. They really need it. ;)

Get the AppAware app to check out what is most popular and make som mock-ups of those. I'm thinking Twitter (though there are a couple of good ones), RSS reader, Dialer, File explorer, Media player (podcast streamer, video player, youtube! oh good it

s so baaad). Or you could make a base interface that can be used on several different apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
Right now, I'm looking at Andchat with zer0day. When/if we find an improved layout for him,I'll post it up like I did with the Pandora concept.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OrganizedFellow:
How about looking into Meta Morph and theming?

Since everyone wants their phone to look different than the next guys!

You could do some theming of your phone, post screen shots, and get some more buzz that way.

:)

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

[Touch Cruise General] InfX:
TBH, i have yet to see a single WM device with a fingerprint reader.
[Touch Cruise General] reg66:
seconded. there's no way of getting this phone (or probably any other as far as i'm aware) to read finger prints - ever
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] biker200:

hi guys

can`t install unsigned russian rom as i windows 7 x64

system error which says "it is not a valid Win32 application"

there was no problems before when i had a laptop with Windows XP on it

any help??? is there unlocked for 64 bit operating system??

here was mentioned that Stock Rom (RUS) 1,48 is without regionlock.

is it true?

if somebody has it, could you share with me please?
[Legend General] zbrinski:
The lock screen is the same of Hero??? :(

Is there a way to change it? anyone??

Thanks
[Legend General] XDA mark:
I am not here to help, because I myself have never used Android before and know only very basic (aka noob) things regarding the OS (will be joining with the Desire).

I just wanted to say: I think it is the same as found on the HTC Hero, because this is the HTC SENSE lockscreen. Both phone's feature HTC Sense, so... :)

On the desire you can disable HTC Sense and get the stock 2.1 experience (including the stock 2.1 lockscreen I assume). Maybe you can try that to get another lockscreen, but then again you will have to give up on HTC Sense.
[Legend General] zbrinski:
It makes Sense. Thanks for the tip :)
[Legend General] zbrinski:
I should have tried it before I talked.

No, turning off Htc Sense does not give me the Eclair lock screen, it gives me the same Htc Sense lock screen.

I thought this smartphone was be able to add voice dial commands, but so far I couldn't find a way to. Is it because of Htc Sense?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] tankzar:
Hey guys,

Just loaded Myn's Rom onto my Bell Touch and love it so far! The only aspect I cant seem to get use to is how small the keyboard is on it. Is there any way to load a compact QWERTY keyboard like the one below? Thanks in advance!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
what resolution are you running

if its 320x480 look up the HTC_IME thats what your seeing there originally from the hero

as far as the 320x240 it would be a differnt APK for it
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tankzar:
Im running Myn's 240x320 version of his rom. If I install an APK with a different resolution, it'll just look distorted right? Which one will give me the closest thing to a stock look? Or something usable I should say.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yea the sides will be cut off
[Touch CDMA Android Development] PaceyWhitter:
better keyboard is a paid app but it has an excellent compact qwerty that works with 240x320.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
I tried Better Keyboard but the space key row seemed enlarged to me... annoyed enough that I went back to standard keyboard =/
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
Yes you sure can.

Here is the HTC IME from my eclair rom in an update.zip, it will work just fine in myns qvga. it's a little slow (as htcime always is) but it works good.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
thanks for posting apk mssmison
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tankzar:
Worked like a charm! Thanks alot :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
Does it install as an input option or override the Android Keyboard?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
its an input option, you'll hold on a txt area and it will give you the choice
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Yikes! The letters on this keyboard look gross at 240x320 and 120 density.

However, in my opinion it's still worth using over the full qwerty.

Thanks a lot!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
Is there a full qwerty version of this keyboard?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yea there is a full qwerty version install the HTC_IME.apk in the options it lets you choose compact, full or keypad
[Touch CDMA Android Development] los1223:
This does look bad. And it only takes up about 90% of the screen. The right side there is just black space. It is still however better than the stock android keyboard. lol. Has anyone tried extracting and using the keyboard from the Tatoo?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yea i have the apk for 320x480 and that fits my screen fine it depends on your resolution

im going to try to upload it, the clicker.apk thats with it is for calibration
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
its you lcd density causing the issue.

on true qvga it fits the screen and doesn't look 'too' bad. ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d0hboy:
Thank you for the upload, but I see a .tar file which is different than what I am used to trying (ie. selecting APK files). It appears that you would simply 'untar' it straight into the root of your android system. Sorry if this is a duplicate question, but I had already searched for .tar, install android .tar, androidupdatehtcimeqvga.tar, etc.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
your saying you dont know how to use it?

1. uncompress it and install the apk.

2. or put the androidupdate.tar in the andboot folder, reset the phone, hit menu then click on install updates

i just watched this video and i dont see why the open screen project flash is not being released till wp7? they have it running on a hd2 and really smooth aswell. why wouldnt they release it?
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
That's the video Adobe released in February.

They did work on it, initially, but in march, they announced that they will drop all support for Windows Mobile, and work on Windows Phone 7 Series.

Pocketnow.com is usually very up to date-ish, but they were way too late on that vid.
[HD2 General] 96edwy:
thanks for the reply :) still tho they could have released what they had done so far just to keep us satisfied :( the flash atm is so rubbish it barely works and is way to slow
[HD2 General] aceo07:
What are you guys looking to use flash for?

I can only think of hulu.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
This is a tut for soft bricked devices, nice try. A brick is when your device will NOT boot into the bootloader or the recovery. Not quite sure about the top part, will test >_>
[G1 Android Development] zeezee:
This isnt even bricked.

If yuor device is really acutally truelly bricked (no reccvery/Boot) check out the think-tank threads and the consistently updating JTAG thread.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
...

Like i said idk if it will work .. i wanted it to be tested by bricked phones.. you never know whats possible :)
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Yeah, that's what I was talking about. Soft Brick is when you can get into recovery/bootloader. I've seen the JTAG thread, imo waste of time.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
...

I'll continue to look for info on this..
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Nice try. It'll surely help someone out, but the phones that are totally dead (rather than just having a borked boot, system, and/or recovery partition) won't benefit from this.

This procedure depends on a living SPL, which you simply don't have in a truly bricked device.

Its a good thing that other people don't share your perspectives. If everybody just gave up the moment that something doesn't work *right now*, not a single human would be alive today.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
The top part is talking about a brick. I have always figured there is some "ancient Chinese secret" to getting it to reload. I don't have a brick but if I did I would not ignore the possibility this could work.

I would have thought a desperate user would have tried every button combo by now though.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap, not a real brick
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
....

Ive seen a few people that lucked up and unbricked their phones .. some waited did every possible combo .. yes .. but i think somehow there is a way .. and im still looking lol
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
Possible hint!

Has anyone tried using adb .. Reflashing the recovery img??
[G1 Android Development] havikx:
if seen 2 or 3 people say they saw somewhere on the interwebz about a guy who un-bricked his device.

i have yet to see any of those people give a link or anything.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
... ummm ...

It was on here! i read it in the forums ...

look for yourself.. people on here have bricked their phone and successfully unbricked it.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
..

Idk i guess it depends on what caused the brick.. people say flashing spls and radios wrong.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
...another hint..

run fastboot boot recovery-image.img or whatever you named your recovery image. It'll display "waiting for device..." message just keep pluging it in, unplugging, popping the battery and eventually your device will respond and boot into recovery.

Someone bricked and i did it... twice trying to flash the eng 2010 SPL. It worked the third time and my device is up and running again with an engineering SPL.

if your device is stuck on the first splash but displays in red "Fastboot USB" message in the upper left corner of the screen, DO NOT power it down. run the above mentioned command and reflash.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
Found another hint

try that on your g1/mytouch!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
As already said, a brick is where you get to stare at the lovely splash1 all day. Who needs recovery or bootloader when you can see your phone's name?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I have nexus envy so I have the Nexus splash1 on right now
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
....

And as i said, people have unbricked there "dead" phone so its possbile.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
You've said you've read someone doing it. You did not give hard facts or evidence, you READ it. I've read many things that aren't true....

OMG I GOT BLUETOOTH WORKING IN TEH HEROZZZZ!!!!!

You read it, does that mean it is true? No, it does not.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
lol .. look guy, im not entertaining your childish thoughts and/or comebacks..

some people dont know what a FULL BRICK is and may have a SOFT BRICK and this may help them.. if it does then my job is done .. if it doesnt sucks for them .. MY phone isnt bricked, however, so IDC about the extra comments i recieve from here .. im only trying to help those who need it.. if you dont need it then why am i continuing to talk to you?

OH AND ADDITIONALLY >> you dont have "HARD FACTS" either SOOO you dont know if this MAY OR MAY NOT WORK!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I'm not trying to come off as a douche, just telling you that this is NOT the way to fix a brick. I have no doubt that someone has done it before, I'm sure that HTC does it every day, I'm just saying that we have no actual PROOF that it has been done.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
True .. but thats why im trying to research..

Most people dont know where to research and decide to come here for help..

Yes, i only have proof from posts and not physically proof/experience but at least i can find out what im in for when/if i ever get bricked.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Which we don't want to happen...
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
:)

I definitely dont want that to happen..

I love my phone to much lol

Thats why i stick to one Rom for a couple months..

But if i do flash i try to do as much research on it as possible..

Getting good and bad feedback..

And ive never flashed any radio or spl updates..

Ive only gotten the radio updates that come with the rom.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Unbricking is relatively simple my friends...I solved my problem by not bricking my phone and following directions of course.:)

I apologize to those that may or may not feel offended.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
lmao ... yeah, well most people dont like to "READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS" ... even when their in BIG RED LETTERS! lol
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:

[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:

[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
He's just someone trying to help. You people don't even know if it does work or not so why are you flaming it? This could be helpful to people.
