Isn't Telus a GSM Provider?

I think you are trying to flash CDMA stuff to your phone. YOu are going to brick your phone if you aren't careful.

Check the other Sub Forums, this is for the CDMA hero.

hi everyone

i have a problem witch i want to share

well i have drivers of a USB to COM Port witch install correctly in all Win 9.x and win 7 and vista

here is that drivers

rapidshare.com/files/361640744/Driver.rar.html

I want to install these drivers in windows mobile 6.1 to have Com port in my mobile OS.

in that case, i can use a couple of API that we have to develop a robotic project.

if you have any solution in mind, please share with me

many thanks in advance

Mohsen
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramdroid77:
you are funny. it's not possible to install such drivers on windows mobile. of course you need special drivers for WM. besides that, most WM phones don't have the hardware requiements to allow you to connect any usb periphery on them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frmariam:
Don't know what you want to do...

Check wm5torage and Zeno USB Host Drivers... Maybe the devs could provide some info...

i upgraded the phone to 2.1 the install was successful all working fine except my speaker i called verizon and they try to fix it had some luck but not a fix so they send me a knew one that has the 1.5 version i need to send the broken one back but it has the 2.1 version how do i get it back to 1.5 i need some research on line and had no luck. i have tryied this one (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.17.605.1_release_signed_with_driver) did not work need some help i only have 10 day before they charge me full price for the phone please help me thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afoulke:
Hey I hate to be the bearer of bad news but honestly you should really do your homework before you update and I cannot stress enough people to utilize the "search this forum" feature on XDA. Anyways you cannot downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5 unless you have root access. Sadly the Eris is one of the few Android devices which does not have root so you will not be able to downgrade until the devs figure out how to access root. I cant say on how close they are but seeing most if not all of them are on 2.1 which just recently leaked they probally wont release a rooted rom within your 10 day window. I would however try sending back the phone you never know verizon might just miss that it has 2.1. Please everyone before you upgrade search the forums or ask someone who know what they are talking about before you upgrade: myself, tdavis, zifnab06 and many other have experience with Roms, htc devices and Android ask before you upgrade! This has been a public service announcement :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ampinc:
thank for the info i am sending back the replacement phone because its the same issue its not the phone its the software so updated all good now i love the new 2.1 cant wait till some root the phone

When comparing the framework-res.apk of a 2.0 build vs a 2.1 build. You can see the png's have similar names so im wondering if a small xml/png exchange will do the job.
[Android Themes] domenukk:
Agreed.

Wanted the wheel ever since it first came out :D

What are the main files for lockscreen, anyway?

Framework-res always looks similar...
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Yup its framework-res

I compared the two's layout folder. EVERYTHING matches except for 2 new xmls.

keyguard_screen_tab_unlock and keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land

I tried deleting those and hoping it would revert back to old style. Didnt boot. Tried replace those two with keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock. Didnt boot. Now its your turn. Good luck :)

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Unfortunately, this will never happen.

The core OS in WM5, WM6 and WM6.x is almost identical, but not so in WM7. It will not be possible to port WM7 as you would need drivers and a kernel compatible with it. To make matters worse, the hardware requirements for WM7 are way above and beyond the hardware that the Herald/Wing has. Like the difference between Win98 and WinVista when it comes to system requirements.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Rim1Flex:
WM7 is a big name. It has lots of concepts and ideas. Some versions of wm7 will work on the wing/herald. They will never be release though:p,lol. However, Windows Phone 7 will not work;) Which is what you were probably referring to:D.

[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
Hey xda,

Just wanted to share my experience on a warranty repair with unlocked bootloader. Incase any of you are about to go through this.

I've had to recently send in my phone on a warranty repair for a dead pixel and also getting static interference on my phone speaker when the ringtone is sounding on a incoming call.

Upon calling them they offered a exchange but after I told them I had an unlocked bootloader they said they can only do a repair job on it.

So I ship my phone and 2 days later I get a repair quote for $196.00. I call them to find out specifics and they said I need a new motherboard. My phones been in it's sleeve since I first got it a few weeks ago and absolutely has never been dropped. Which means a failing motherboard came with my phone from the beginning. Now they are telling me that an unlocked bootloader voids my warranty. I have pointed out to them that I know of plenty of people with unlocked bootloaders & clear hardware malfunctions who were able to get a warranty repair or even a warranty exchange!

Now my ticket is being escalated and I will hear back from the higher ups in 48-72 business hours.

Any helpful advice guys?

Thanks,

-L
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
All you can do is wait... I'd bet that the escalation people will approve the repair under warranty. If not, then everyone needs to be on notice and my prediction has come true.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
I told them I had an unlocked bootloader

Wonder if they would have just sent you a new one if you didnt say that.

By "static interference on my phone speaker", do you mean you hear static when the speaker is ringing? Does the speaker-phone play music without static noise?
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
I think they would've sent a new one but I had to put a $529 on a credit card to do so (which I would've done). But I was afraid that they would've kept the $529 if they found out that my original phone bootloader was unlocked. So I figured I'd tell them for the sake of good karma...I'm really not trying to hustle HTC here.

Yes every couple of calls when my phone rings, the ringtone would be accompanied by a lot of static. I've tried playing back music and trying to recreate the problem but I couldn't get any static out of it on my own. Just randomly happens on it's own during incoming calls. Didn't matter what ringtone I was using or what radio I was on.
[Nexus One General] cekle:
The $529 deposit is so you have an incentive to send back your old phone and not keep both. Once they receive it, the charge is undone.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
Yea I know its just a temporary hold but I thought they inspect your old phone upon arrival. Guy on phone told me they can't do anything with unlocked bootloader phones on exchanges which is why it was out of the question. I was just afraid that my old phone would get there and they realized it was unlocked...would've been a more complicated situation then since they are holding my $529.
[Nexus One General] Andrewtst:
Where you from? need put $529 for deposit? Being charge $196.00 a bit high, so poor you.

Then service center in Singapore is better, no need any deposit, mine one also root and dead completely and they fix for me FOC.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
I'm in Miami, Florida. Had to send it in to HTC in Texas I think.

I will wait and see when they get back to me from the ticket escalation. Hopefully there's a kind soul there!
[Nexus One General] Andrewtst:
May god bless you, wish you all the best :)

Get it replace FOC :)
[Nexus One General] hassan:
Mother board replacement to fix dead pixel:confused:

HTC charged me £128.00 to repair signal fault on my N1. They told me that it needs a new mother board as i've unlock the bootloader.

I think they riping peoples of who ever unlocked there bootloader and send for warranty.
[Nexus One General] jongie123:
I don't understand you, a new motherboard for the issue with the faulty signal?, or the motherboard is to lock the bootloader?
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
Not to be mean... but you

did

unlock the bootloader and void the warranty. It's clearly stated everywhere that this is the case.

I don't see what the problem is. :confused:
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Seems HTC will 'change' the motherboard for anything.

When I thought I would be stuck on ERE36B for ever, I anonymously asked them if there was a way to get it regressed to official firmware. As you may have guessed, they told me they would have to replace the motherboard at a cost of £105

When I sent them my phone for a cosmetic issue, it came back with ERE27 and the same IMEI, so my original motherboard.

Sounds like they're just trying to scam people to be honest.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
I've read elsewhere that HTC doesn't repair motherboards. Their fix for everything seems to be just to replace the motherboard.

I agree but I really thought the build quality on a $500 dollar phone was going to outlast 3 weeks before I had to send it in. You have to see both sides of the story here. Sure it protects HTC but what if on the other hand there's a lot of faulty hardware out there and it actually starts working in their favor. As we're all noticing here now their "repair" process seems to just be an automatic new motherboard. Sounds like a rip off.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
So after the escalation they still don't want to cover it with warranty. The rep on the phone says that replacing the motherboard could reinstate the factory warranty. Basically it looks like they are trying to do all these MB replacements on rooted phones so that you have a locked bootloader again & warranty...at the cost of $196.

I asked if i can get a quote for just a repair on the dead pixel and was put on hold for 10 minutes. Finally the agent gets back on the phone to tell me he needs to escalate the ticket in order to get a price quote for just the screen. So now I won't hear back from them until Monday (the earliest) in order to find out how much it is to fix a dead pixel issue.

This is the second time my ticket has been escalated and going onto a week without my phone. It seems like the escalating thing is a nicer way of them saying "don't call us back for a few days."

Getting very frustrated at this point.
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
I have to say, that it doesn't seem right to charge for hardware repairs because of a rooted phone. I'm going to go read their warranty policies and also look to see if I can find an official message on the web from Google saying that only the software warranty is void. If they make no distinction, then its not even a plan B option for me.

Currently I want the Desire. If it doesn't become available with in the next month or so, I was going to get a Nexus One for the Verizon network.

I feel for you on this one. Activating a change in software really should not affect their hardware obligations to you. I can see them charging you if you sent your phone in and software caused an issue with your device some how but thats not likely the case here.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
Thanks, I was trying to look over it myself as well. I don't see much clarification between hardware and software warranty.

I tried calling HTC to file a complaint (mostly over the repair process) but they have no complaint system set up.

I would love to be able to write someone higher up at HTC or even Google explaining my situation. I can't find any contact email on the internet. I know sometimes these things can be resolved just by getting in touch with corporate offices or headquarters directly.

Anyone have any useful (public) emails for either HTC or Google?
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
Keep me updated. I called t-mobile today and set up Insurance which covers lost/stolen/cracked screen/ blown up for 4.79 a month. Its a 130 deductible too. Worst case is I get my phone back, send them the swap and then play some nexus firsbee. If your in the Chicagoland area, please join me.
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
Ah crap. I've missed the 14 day insurance period by a couple of a days. I had no idea they offered it.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
i know it's not related to the above issues but...

got dinged for 55 bucks for dust under the screen since i had an unlocked bootloader.

also pissed because the guy on the phone told me the bootloader would also be relocked as per my request. going to give them a call about that monday...
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
getting charged for dust under the screen baffles me even more than my situation.

by the way I just got a call from HTC for a repair quote of $196....AGAIN.

I told the lady I'm not trying to replace the motherboard, I need a dead pixel fixed and that was supposed to be the new quote I get. She paused and says "I see the escalation for that here so I'll go ahead and run send that escalation through again." I feel like I am getting nowhere with this repair lol
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
This is very much related to the issue. That another issue that should be covered under warranty. I've gone through the warranty and it really doesn't make distinction between hardware and software. There are also no reports that I can find that have official info.

Seems the only way to deal with this situation, is to send them their phone back and dispute it with the credit card company. I agree that unlocking your phone is an agreement with them to void your warranty, but there is no way this would hold up in court. End User license agreements have been over turned quite often when they are executed unfairly. Denying to repair faulty hardware you sold because of an end user license technicality won't fly. So a law suit/class action suit will also work.

It's like selling a car and saying changing out the stereo voids your warranty. You then discover you have a braking problem and they won't fix it because you added an aftermarket radio. There is no way it would fly in court.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
From what I've heard, Asurion doesn't even stock the nexus one, you aren't missing out on much. I believe they will give you a phone of comparable value and features but I highly doubt you'd get a Nexus. I still have the insurance just in case, but I have no intention of using it nor do I rely on it or treat my phone recklessly, I love my Nexus and if I got a G1 I might kill someone.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
The warranty void "issue" has been discussed ad nauseum before. I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a lawyer (yet), but I am a law student and I've taken extensive courses in Contracts. I looked through all the warranty work very closely, and here's the thing.

First off, it is written in plain language that the warranty is void when you unlock the bootloader. It's indicated in the warranty booklet AND you have to expressly agree to this before you can unlock the bootloader. Further, unlocking the bootloader is itself a "technical" operation. A "layperson" wouldn't be able to do it accidentally or without knowledge of what it really means to unlock it. So according to legal precedent, you can't claim you didn't know that unlocking the bootloader voids the entire warranty, or claim ignorance about the unlocking process. These are the first questions a court would ask.

Second, the EULA agreement "technicality" argument doesn't apply. Without accepting the EULA in software, you can't use it. You CAN use the phone normally and as intended without unlocking the bootloader. So this argument would fail as well.

Finally, I've heard the car warranty argument numerous times. It won't fly, and here's why. First, this isn't a car. No car manufacturer writes their warranties the way you describe. That aside, a better example were if you were to take the stereo out of the car, remove those little "void" stickers on the screws, disassemble it and end up breaking it. The car manufacturer would still cover the other components... but not the stereo. A court would look at our phones as a single unit, like the car stereo... not like a car made up of multiple autonomous units.

Anyway, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Like I said, my first set of points about your EXPRESS AGREEMENT on its own is enough for a court to rule against you, especially because it clearly says the entire warranty is void. A simple 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted will be the only thing needed to boot the complaint. The second and third points wouldn't even make it to the court.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
I WILL not unlock then :D

Wow, this is just crazy. Now I don't have an incentive to send my phone off for repairs of the 3G issue and touch screen issue ..mmm
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Dust and dead pixels I would expect to be covered under warranty regardless of bootloader. In at least some cases on XDA it has been covered even though the phone is unlocked.

Static on the speaker could have been caused by a firmware or software change (volume hack) though. It is unlikely imho but possible. If you want to root your phone it seems the wisest course of action to use it stock for a month or so to shake it down before rooting it.

So while I think the dead pixel should be fixed, all of us who rooted the phone were aware of the risks when it came to warranty repairs. HTC is well within their rights to refuse to cover the repairs under warranty. We are changing fundamental parts of the phone and pushing it beyond its tested boundaries. This makes for the potential for damage and increases HTC's support costs. Anything that requires a mainboard replacement would logically not fall under warranty for an unlocked device. Unfortunately for us replacing the mainboard is the easy and direct way to attempt to fix most problems that do not have a definite cause elsewhere. It is not worth the time and cost to test each individual component of the phone and narrow down the problem when replacing the mainboard will correct the issue in the majority of the cases.

By all means fight the good fight, but understand that you did agree that unlocking the N1 invalidated the warranty.
[Nexus One General] Hitorii:
You heard wrong. Originally they didn't know what to do.

Presently things are different. T-Mobile Insurance Support have books and guides on how to handle each phone. The wonderful women who set me up read their policies on the Nexus One to a T line for line. Covers lost/stolen/accident/water. Anything I can think of. $130 deductible. They will let you purchase a NEW nexus one at cost, and reimburse you minus 130 for the deductible, or you can let them handle it entirely.

They have their set policy in order since 2 days ago with rules and procedures specifically for this phone. So lets stop this debate =)
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
Static was happening randomly on stock rom too. I never do volume hacks as I feel the phone was loud enough to begin with. It was just once every 8 (just ball park figure) incoming calls the phone ringtone (whichever it may be) would be accompanied by white noise.
