Sorry if im posting this thread in the wrong area but ive been following since i got my droid and am about to root my girls eris, not mine as i jumped the gun and got the leak. Anyway, after installing the rooted 2.1 its suggested to do the back and here is were i get a bit nervous, will this process brick my phone if not followed correctly? Or can u just keep tryin to back it up over n over till correct?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
install the 2.1 ota rom I posted, it is THE most current rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Sorry, i guess i wasnt clear. I am capable and confident in installing the 2.1 rom leaked or root, its when you do the recovery back up process thats suggested to do is where i get nervous. When making the back up file is there a risk of bricking my phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
well, im lost i have another thread stating the same, but since this is here and im just looking for an answer ill post again.

I have the rooted 2.1 installed.

I would like to flash a recovery.img

I for some reason am having alot of trouble doing so, ADK downloaded, java downloaded, usb downloaded, apparently up to date but its not a google interface, says htc dream.

open a command prompt and it dosent recognize abd, it dosent show me my phones serial either, i dunno what to do. im running vista so directions may be a lil a diff.
[HD2 General] Arthur:
As many of us know 'unlimited Internet' from 99% of ISP's don't really mean Unlimeted Internet.

(fair use policy)

well, i flashed a stock rom to my hd2 'enableing' the wifi router, and used my laptop with the hd2 for about 5 days (spred out over a month).

just browsing and youtube on the laptop worked flawlessly, BUT i didnt realise feckin µTorrent was always running in the background.

Long story short, O2 cut off all my data rendering my hd2 pretty much useless.

They said i had downloaded over 4gb of data. wow

i played dumb (easy for me) and they turned it back on, WITH A WARNING.

now bareing in mind i was using the internet flawlessly even with µTorrent uploading & downloading in the background.

that says a great deal for the hd2 but more importantly O2 UK's 3G HSDPA :)

also just as importantly during this time i decovered that USB charging the hd2 and using it as a router at the same time doesnt really provide enough charge.

think along the lines of 55% drain / 45% charge.

without it being plugged in to the usb i doubt i would have got a full hour from a full batt.

but

plugged into the usb i think i was getting like 12 hours give or take.

im sure with the hd2 plugged into a mains powered usb charger, like the one that comes with it.

this wouldnt be a problem.

anyhoo, hope this helps
[HD2 General] xenept:
lol you're Arthur Dailey alright!
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
lol nice job. ;)

Definitely. Most of the 'alternative' chargers out there are 500mA-700mA. The one that comes with your kit is the full 1A which makes the difference!
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Don't worry too much about it -- o2 reserve the right to 'terminate your data connection until the end of your current contract month' after fair warning (the warning comes in the form of a text message, then a few days later a letter in the post)

I received 3 of these letters in the last 12 months with o2, once I was told my data connection would be terminated until the end of the month (it wasn't...), then the last time was cut off for 6 days 'til my next month started.

I admit the first couple of times I torrented a bit (in fact I did loads of it at the start of my contract and heard nothing) but the last time I was simply using it to browse on the move, watch the odd YouTube video, etc.

Unlike, say, Vodafone, we won't get charged £50/mb or something to that effect after we go over our 'unlimited (lol) data allowance'. Worst that can happen is that you lose mobile web for a max of 30 days, if you're naughty enough to get the warning and cutoff in the first day of a new month!
[HD2 General] PromaneX:
If you have it plugged into your laptop via USB why not just choose internet connection sharing mode for the USB connection and skip the wifi? saving power...
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Don't forget that consumption is proportional to transferred data... so while torrenting, it's HUGE. If you browse the web normally it won't be a problem.

And yes, if you're connected to USB anyway you'd better use internet sharing over USB, not wifi router.
[HD2 General] fz9999:
lol you used your HD2s data to download torrents on your laptop? Madness! :p

Good advice though for others.

I'm on Vodafone's 'unlimited' data which I think is 500MB, although the girl in the shop implied I would just get a warning if I went over 3GB - unlike Orange where they charged my mate for every 1MB he went over 500MB :eek:
[HD2 General] Archer:
lol

I got a letter from O2 last week telling me to pack it in, but that was only after about 1GB (in a week, admittedly).

I've since turned off all push services and made MyPhone only synch once a week, and I now get 3 days out of a single charge, whereas I used to get a day!

Anyway, I'm just telling you the above as an excuse for posting and lol-ing at your choice of words.
[Touch HD General] dudlis:
Hello!

I would appreciate if someone could help me with one issue:

Couple of days I have encountered a problem first with synchronizing my Touch HD with the PC and then with Bluetooth itself. I've tried to reinstall the connection between the HD and the PC but it doesn't help. I also cannot receive files from other Bluetooth devices.

I've noticed that COM ports are missing in the Bluetooth settings on my HD and there is no button to add one.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD General] Sugocy:

[Touch Diamond CDMA] sonicboom007:
Can anyone help me with a mortscript?

I found a mortscript that will get GPS coordinates and display them in a window. I have found that it needs to have a program running that is accessing the GPS (Google Maps), so I modified it a bit to get it to work.

I have also found a website that you can put your lat & lon as part of the url and it will return an xml file with your nearest zipcodes.

see: ( http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPos...lng=-102.84724 )

What I am trying to do is to have a mortscript get my lat & lon, put it into the url listed above (replacing the lat & long already in there), get the first 5-digit listed zipcode from the xml file that is returned from the url, and then take that zipcode and have it added as the first value data in the regkey:

HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/Weather.CityList

If there is already a 5-digit zipcode there I would also like the script to replace the old zipcode with the new zipcode.

Can you help me with the mortscript? I have attached the script I am working on.

THANK YOU!!!

Attempting to root the phone, but apprently unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone, how would I backup/restore and settings? such as handcent, contacts, apps etc
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
This might not help since I haven't ran non rooted android in over a year. I do know for the apps you can use app manager or any other type. I use app manager to backup app to sd. Then when when root just install app manager first then mass install all the apps I was running. also handy when setting up app 2sd
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
use titanium backup to backup everything.... and then restore later...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
root is required to run titanium backup...seems he may be in a catch-22.

I assume all of your contacts are sync'd with your google account, yeah? If so, do this...

look up wavesecure in the market. Install it and set it up. Accounts are free for only a week or so longer. This is an app you should have anyways. Once setup, backup your sms/mms. If you don't care about your texts, then ignore this setup. Once you are setup again, install this app. If your phone ever goes missing, you will hate yourself for not using it.

Now move forward with your unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. Once you are setup, purchase a backup solution (my backup or titanium) and take full advantage of it :) Of course, setup wavesecure to restore if you backup up your texts.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemmy120:
I just need clarification if you will.

I wish to downgrade my radio from 2.22.23.02 back to 2.22.19.26I. Is it just the same process as flashing the radio to upgrade? also is there only one version on of the earlier radio? Here's my Bootloader :

UK Vodafone

sapphire PVT 32B ship s-on g

HBOOT- 1.33.0004 (SAPP100000)

CPLD-10

Well, I cant downgrade the radio via recovery, and fastboot gives me the old chesnut of :

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Try a different file, sounds like the one you got may have been corrupt.

If you are installing custom anything, you should DEFINITELY have an engineering SPL.

Should I just flash the custom spl then downgrade the radio or what? I have read extensively but cant really find the answer
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:

You should flash the radio/spl through fastboot, not recovery. If this doesn't work tell us what error you get.

how to press boot button
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Hi guys,

Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.

The appropriate settings are now in place to make it work for the Magic.

Here is the link to the kitchen:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

Before you flash your new custom ROM made from this kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!

Thank you, and enjoy!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Just a question - is there a Wiki page which lists all the shipped ROMs available for the Magic? I couldn't find any on my own. I only found the ones at the htc.com site.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
...

Hi man, i just want to thank you for your kitchen, i dont know a answer to your question :(

but i want to reserve this post,

my plan is to make a short instruction on how to port a rom from hero, using your kitchen... (hope its ok with you)

not a full how to, but som guidence... cause i am still learning and still making many misstakes...

But i am gonna try to make my best.

I DONT HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT NOW... LATER.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
That's a good idea, and that also gives me another idea for the kitchen.

Usually when we port a ROM from another device, we just replace the other device's boot.img-kernel with our own device's boot.img-kernel. Although there may be issues with driver incompatibility, this is the general way to get the ROM booting. (Also you have to make sure you use the correct base address when using mkbootimg)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
Wow

sorry it's off topic but damn good to see dsixda over here on android. I remember your roms from my diamond and elfin. Now i think a nexus one is my next device if you're cooking for em lol. As for the kitchen i think this is an amazing idea to get some more chefs in the game.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Hey man, I remember you ;-) The kitchen is working for Nexus One. However, I'm not cooking ROMs this time because public ROMs are too much work when you want to satisfy hundreds of people at once ;) The kitchen will take the load off the cooks and also provide an enjoyable learning experience for people who want to customize a ROM the way they like it. We already have someone who has made a public ROM from this kitchen, and hopefully there will be more! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] holmes901:
I am still looking for the downloadable shipped rom. hopefully it would be found soon. i looked on the htc site but i guess i am still lost. but thanks again for something great.

I would like to reserve this post for compatibility the new MyTouchLE/Fender.

If this can work for this phone there will be alot of happy people out there

thanks

Update 4/16 after several attempts with different shipped and custom roms i have finally gotten one to boot with touch input, which has been one of the biggest hurdles for this phone. Problem is niether of the roms i have will connect to T-Mobile or wifi. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] holmes901:
Testing this out now to see what I come up with thanks for the link to the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
You can try this as well:

http://www.htc.com/www/support/magic.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
so with this one should be able to build roms from any rom to try make it work on your phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
As long as they are Magic ROMs, then yes they should work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
ok so the base has to be magic for it to work, so in total it is to maske it easier to modify roms to your liking? no porting ect?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Yes you need a Magic ROM as your base. In theory it should work with any Magic ROM, but I'm not 100% familiar with all the variants of the HTC Magic so maybe there are incompatibilities?

I'll be working on porting ROMs later in the day.. I have to try the new porting scripts on my Hero first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
ok, i will give it a go when we can try porting ;) a bit more fun working with android 2.1 ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
i just noticed a problem with the T-Mobile myTouch 3G ROMs, as my script only looks for "HTC Magic" in the build.prop and not T-Mobile myTouch 3G... I'll get to fixing that soon. I'll check for "sapphire" instead, which is more generic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Ok I have put up an update to the kitchen, version 0.24. This one should recognize all ROMs from all variants of the HTC Magic (e.g. T-Mobile myTouch 3G).

Also another option has been added, which will allow you to port a ROM from another Android device to your Magic (it will boot up but you may have to make some changes to get everything working properly, such as drivers). Has been tested on an HTC Hero.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sultan-mrm:
thank you dsixda ,

I did my rom from Htc magic-stc , and get stock on boot.

I think the problem from boot.img cus when I copy the compatible one it's

working , but get force close on super user .

now I will try ver 0.24
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Hi, I'm not sure I understand your question, but make sure you do a wipe if you are seeing problems. Also for superuser, ensure USB debugging is enabled under Settings/Applications (this should have been done automatically when you configured root).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sultan-mrm:
Sorry I forgot USB debugging , su fixed :) thank you.

but the main problem is in boot.img after cooking ,

it's not compatible with htc magic 32a, I think your kitchen is for dream and magic 32b only.

I already replace boot.img manually with another for magic 32a and it's working now, but can you tell me how to port that for 32a via your kitchen ?

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Hi, seems like you are correct because the kernels use different offsets when repacking them. In build_boot_img I used 0x10000000. I'll take a look at this soon.

EDIT: Change the value to 0x19200000 for sapphire (in build_boot_img script) -- only if you are building for a 32A.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
Maybe, make a pure kitchen with basics, like 0.18 (tryed it and it works good)

then additional packages, with the other stuff, for porting etc...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
That would mean too many things to keep track of, I'd rather have one universal kitchen with all the changes unified into one application, rather than releasing 4 different versions every time there is a generic change ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Question: does the build.prop in all 32A ROMs have ro.product.model=HTC Magic?

I thought the 32A boards were HTC-branded (ie. "HTC Magic") and 32B were Google-branded.

What about the Fender myTouch 3G? That one is a 32A but I don't know what the ro.product.model is. Is it "T-Mobile myTouch 3G"?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Ok guys, I've updated the kitchen again, to version 0.25.

This time, if you are re-packing a boot.img for an HTC Magic it will ask whether you have a 32A or 32B board. This should solve the problem for those of you who could not get it working with a 32A.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sultan-mrm:
thanks alot , I will try it tomorrow
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Cool, let me know how it goes. :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Babyface1249:
So will this work to port 32a roms to 32b?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Yes, it should work but I haven't gotten confirmation of the 32A/B porting yet. The basic difference is the base address used when you build the kernel (in boot.img), which the kitchen automatically takes care of when you use the "Port ROM" option.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Babyface1249:
Ok cool. I only ask because I have also tried Relentless Rom Roaster which states that it will port 32a to 32b, which I never could get working. Maybe I'll give this one a try if I decide to do the vitrual machine+Ubuntu setup
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsixda:
Make sure you use the "Port ROM" method and not Option 1, because when you port, it takes the kernel image from your 32B and puts it into the boot.img of the 32A. Then it builds it with the 32B base address.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Babyface1249:
Will do, may be a while before I try it, but when I get the time I'll post back with my results
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
