[Nexus One General] thisisgil:
Thanks everyone for the help so far.

I have tried these steps - when I issue the su command, I get root and a dialog box prompting me to allow it. However, when I type the flash_image command, I get the following message:

flash_image: not found

How is it that I don't have the flash_image command on my Nexus?!

I think fastboot is detecting my device, because I managed to display the serial number (I obsficated most of the output above for security reasons) and I also successfully unlocked the bootloader. After I unlocked the bootloader, I tried to copy over the recovery image, and it just hung, so I then went and installed Modaco's superboot version ERD27 with himem enabled. This allowed me root access but still will not allow me to flash with the recovery image.

In addition, I have noticed that since I installed superboot himem, I am having a couple of network issues. Firstly - my 3G signal has now dropped from virtually full strength all the time to now never more than 50% strength, and frequently gives network errors when accessing the android store. It has also said "emergency calls only" a couple of times and probably worst of all (!) no longer checks my gmail automatically (I have plenty of emails but don't get notified - texts work fine though and my contacts are all still there and my account seems to be linked) - could the superboot have affected this in any way?

Thanks all for your help - I'm getting a little worried I may have totally borked my phone now :(

[Nexus One General] thisisgil:
A little extra info if it helps anyone - I just tried to erase the recovery image in fastboot to see if I could then write a new recovery image. Here is the output:

---

C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices

HT9CXP8##### fastboot

C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot erase recovery

erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Anybody have any clue what this means?
[Nexus One General] Austin021296:
Try to redownload the recovery image, maybe you got a bad download.
[Nexus One General] AndyBurns:
Can you try a different USB port? I found when flashing mine that it didn't like USB1.1 only worked on USB2.0
[Nexus One General] linuxluver:
Another thing I discovered recently: Never use a port on a USB hub. Always use a USB port on the PC directly. I was having trouble flashing ROMs on my Acer Liquid and they went away when I stopped using a port on the hub.
[Nexus One General] veritasaequita:
without a doubt i bet its a naming issue, this is one of those things that go unmentioned and overlooked. either u do or dont have file extensions showing or not and or the .img does or does not need to be changed to .zip, i messed with this for days last year when flashing my g1. just go and change whatever you hide/show known file extensions is set to and see if ur problem is solved.

[Nexus One General] kbiz90:
Thank you AndyBurns. I registered just to say that. You saved me a lot of time.

I had the same problem. Had the USB cable plugged into my front 1.1 ports instead of the back 2.0 ports. Switch ports and now I'm good to go.

Thank you.
[Nexus One General] thisisgil:
Hi all -

Just wanted to post a follow up to this message, in the hope that it may help someone in the future!

Basically, I was not using the original USB cable that came with the nexus one (lost it), and instead was using a cable that I bought from a mobile phone retailer - it was basically one of those 6-in-1 multi USB cables where I had to put an adaptor on the end to switch it from mini to micro USB to fit the Nexus one.

Anyhow, for some reason, despite the fact that I could charge the phone using this new cable, and access it through device manager, explore the contents of the phone, root it etc etc, it would not do the flash as described above. I went out and bought a dedicated 1 metre gold plated micro USB cable, and it worked great :)

Dodgy cables - should have thought of this before I spent days frigging around and maybe even almost bricking the phone with a bad flash :)

hey guys i unlocked my bootloader on my htc 6800 and and put a ryan mogul rom on it, it flashed fine but when it boots up it just sticks on the htc windows mobile boot screen. any ideas??
[HD2 General] fociz:
I know you guys are working on it but PLEASE for the love of all thats holy give us ANDROID!:D
[HD2 General] efjay:
It will cost you much, much less to buy either a sprint evo, nexus 1 or any other number of android phones.

[HD2 General] TIGGAH:
When the EVO comes out couldn't someone just download that ROM and then load it on to the HD2? I am sure some tweaking would be needed but aren't they close enough hardware that you could do that?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
No. You can't. And no, there hardware isn't the same.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Why don't you just get an android device? It'll be a while before android is ported to the the hd2.
[HD2 General] aceo07:

[HD2 General] ryan562:
we won't see android on this phone for a long time. you might as well get the htc evo and switch to sprint or wait until tmobile comes out with the htc desire (almost the same as the nexus one but with the sense ui).
[HD2 General] devise:
yeah we will have to wait a while for 'droid to come to the hd2 and when it does... chances are it'll be far from perfect... still though.. would love to see it happen... dual boot!!! windroid! woooooo
[HD2 General] dkb218:
Why didn't you just buy an android phone? What kind of sick mind buys the best wm phone to ever hit the street and then whines because its too hard and they want android? android will never come to the hd2. Return your hd2 and get a n1. You don't deserve this hotness!
[HD2 General] ntpphong:
2x, if you want android, get an android phone, stop whining and *****ing.
[HD2 General] fociz:
Ok np. Thx for setting us all straight.

Sheesh..no one here uses different OS or ROMS on their phones, no one here buys a phone for its hardware and hopes for the geniuses here to improve on the stock software.

Glad you two opened our eyes..

[Mogul, XV6800 General] JSheets:
Hey guys, I've had a Mogul for a few years and come to this site frequently. I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and cannot get internet sharing to work. I have a SERO plan and have never had any issues with XP. Now I have to use wmwifirouter, which would be ok... but after a few minutes the phone starts overheating when using wifi (the call button no longer works because of this).

Anyone have any tips? I've used nueUSB and changed all of the USB to PC settings, but the best I ever get is my computer will connect for a second or two then disconnect.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frodcord:
I bought a G1 2 days ago and i've been reading a lots of tutorials on how to root the phone, i have hacked/Modified every phone i've had so far (Motorola/Sony Ericsson/Nokia) and i would like to do the same with my G1 (That;s why i bought it for) the problem is that every tutorial i see wants me to downgrade to RC29 which isn't complicated but the problem is that it has the DMD64 update.

1- Is the rooting process the same for DMD64 or do i need something special to downgrade? i read about the goldcard but i also heard it was not necessary all the time.

2- Since this is my first time rooting , is there a way to make sure i don't brick my phone? like making a backup of the OS or whatever i need to fix it in case i brick it.

3-What are the latest/best files to root it things like Recovery, ROM, SPL (i don't fully understand what this is and how it is different from the recovery)

Thank You.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhecker:
1: I have no idea if the rooting process is the same for DMD64 or not, but I do not see why it would be any different. But, I could be wrong. I was lucky enough to have RC29 when I purchased mine.

2: The only thing that you can do to make sure you do not brick your phone is to FOLLOW EACH STEP CAREFULLY! Do not skip steps, or add your own. This mainly applies to flashing the Radio and SPL. If you f*ck that up, you're bricked, heh.

3: This confused me at first as well.

The recovery is kind of like pressing F8 when you are booting into Windows. It lets you make changes to your system, w/o booting the the complete Operating System (The Android OS in this case). Using the recovery menu, you can flash new ROMs, format your SD card, enable the USB Mass Storage so you can see the SD card within windows, do a factory reset on the device, open up a terminal to manually input commands, perform a backup of your device (you can back up most everything on it) which allows you to restore from that backup if you mess something up.

But, then there is your FastBoot screen as well. FastBoot is where you need to be to flash your SPL and Radio. I am not 100% sure as to the correct order of the flashing off the top of my head, but google around (or simply search this forum), and you will find all the info you need.

Not all ROMs require you to have the "Danger/Haykuro/Death SPL" though. Many of them will work on a stock SPL. However, if you do feel the need to try one of the ROMs that require you to use the Death SPL, you can find all the information about it here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL.

Good luck with your new G1, and do NOT be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Nobody likes to see one of these devices get bricked :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frodcord:
Thanks a lot for helping me I thought that the recovery was the f8 in a computer too but I still have my doubts about the spl and the radio. I'll try to root my phone tomorrow i'll give you guys an update after I get to 1.5.

Wish me luck xD.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Remember, always RADIO BEFORE THE SPL. If you do decide to mess with SPL, make sure to flash engineering (or hard) first, and then flash Danger/Death SPL thru fastboot. This eliminates 99% chance of the brick.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Lol how is he going to know what fastboot/adb is? OP, don't mess with the SPL and radio until you know what your doing. Flash a rom like cyanogen or Enom's AOSP if you don't want to mess with them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frodcord:
Ok I've done it i am running 1.5 now so if a person comes asking about DMD64 (G1) now you know what to say. You don't need a goldcard or something else just the dreaimg.nbh and there is nothing to worry about.

I still don't fully understand the SPL and Radio part so i'll keep reading until i am ready to use a custom ROM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibi_oreo:
so just root DMD64 the normal way?
[Desire Themes and Apps] hassan:
Found it on the net. I've tried it works really well over WiFi on my desire.

Moto Phone Portal, the Android program allows users to select WiFi or USB to connect to one's PC, and once the app is fired up, you simply point your machine's web browser to the listed URL in order to manage contacts, media, etc.

Thats how it looks on PC web browser.

[Desire General] KrewCial:
Bump!

I've run into the same problem. Above posted settings don't work for me, when manually inserting them. Same goes for auto-detected settings after filling in my hotmail address and password.

When I change the app's settings to download the previous X amount of emails instead of past X amount of days, emails do get downloaded. The problem here, however, is that these are the very first emails I received, dating from the year 2000 and marked as "unread". When going through them to mark them as "read" again, new "unread" messages won't get through and the very first emails are kept.

Very strange problem that only affects, as far as I know, a minimal amount of users.

I've tried deleting the account, restarting and even a hard-reset to no avail. :(

Furthermore, I've contacted microsoft and htc. Microsoft's answer was rubbish, stating I should try the settings they provided in the email, which were the exact same settings I told them I had already used... Still waiting for HTC's response.

PS: Other mail accounts work fine btw.
[Desire General] KrewCial:

[Desire General] bcmobile:
Just tried with these settings and it worked for me:

POP SSL required? Yes USE TLS

User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com

Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live

SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)

Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)

TLS/SSL required? Yes USE TLS

Important things to note are in red. Hope that helps

Hey Krew, i still have that problem. also did many try and errors but it won'work.How did you get it to work? With another hotmail account there are no such problems.please help:)
[Desire General] Dashie84:
Please tell me how you do that!

I have the expired mail problem too!
[Desire General] harnyuk:
same here nothing incoming
[Desire General] KrewCial:
I did two things to get it to work. Perhaps one would suffice, but I couldnt be bothered to check which one fixed the problem. Here's what I did:

- Somewhere in the settings you can link your hotmail to your live account. I did that. :P

- I had a huge amount of emails in my inbox. I moved like half of them to a new folder.

Afterwards, the mail app synced without a problem.

Good luck!

[Dash 3G, Snap General] ookba:
So I guess I'm the first to experiement with Maple keyboards. I had a SNAP S523 (MAPL130) that got pretty worn out so I got a descent Dash 3G (MAPL100) and swapped hardware. It turns out that the TMO Dash 3G keyboard doesn't function properly when attached to a SNAP S523 board. It inherits some characteristics of the Dash 3G keyboard yet still retains some key functions from the SNAP S523's keyboard layout. Very interesting!? I even played around with kmap files but nada. Some keys just don't remap. I think the hardware has keymap functionality coded into it. Why HTC went to this extreme, I don't know. I guess that explains the different HSDPA bands as well. I wonder if there's a way to hack that too.

Anyone else experiement with this?

SWIFT is one of best twitter clients on android

No, sorry, i don't, but in terms of better twitter apps, have you looked at SWIFT ? It's been the new rising star in twitter clients on android.

On a second note: Since I have not yet received my Desire, could you pleas post either screenshots or a list of settings/preferences that DO show for Friendfeed? I ask specifically about setting intervals for refreshing the stream. Does it provide separate refresh rates for each of the feeds, or just one main one, or none at all?

I ask because this is predictably going to be the biggest battery drainer on the Desire, so I am just getting a leg up before getting my device :;

That will remove all twitter from FriendFeed.

Then simply use whatever other app you want, either by clicking on the app icon to start it, or by installing the app's widget if it has one.
