i wonder if u can assist.Garmin XT is loaded.First screen ...connect in GPS Garmin.when entering the program tries to connect the Garmin GPS receiver and scans for the connected device and for bluetooth..It has the skip button too.When clicking omit(or skip)program says taht some parts of Garmin mobile xt would not function properly without a valid gps fix.If you click yesthat is go on with skip)screen advises you to aggree on safe driving etc and when you do so screen says that cannot track the Garmin GPS device, asking you if you want to connect with other GPS devices.If you click yes it prompts you that connection is ONLY allowed for the Garmin GPS device.It gives three choices in the bottom.1.Acton completed.2.Activate and 3.Activate (again).When clicking completed gives you the screen ..where to? and map layout (the icon on top left is yellow(not red)and says again that cannot locate the garmin GPS device asking you (again and again)if you would like to be connected with other GPS devices.By clicking no the previous icon appears again (red this time)a map is shown and on top there is the indication that GPS is Inactive!!Sorry for being so detailed but my next action will be to throw the GT program away.Moreover in the screen with indication (system-info) of GPS when clicking prompts you again that connection only with Garmin GPS. Finally both Beeline GPS and GPS tuner work fine in my OMNIA (fully operable) and lastly i wanted Garmin only for the naval charts as I have both Sygic and iGo 8 working perfectly in my device, therefore I hesitate to alter the COM7 to COM4 as both (iGo and Sygic recognize and cooperate with COM7).

Thanks in advance I wonder what am I doing wrong with garmin.

So here's my problem, I can press the power button to start up my touch pro 2, but after the OS loads, it doesn't function to turn off the screen or to power off my device. So now, it just goes dim after 30 seconds but still stays lit and the only way to turn the phone off is to pull the battery. What can be done?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
Stock Tmo Win6.1 rom. Nothing installed really, this problem was present ever since the fresh install. It can't be physical because the power button is recognized prior to OS boot, and I can get into the bootloader fine as well.

Maybe there is some software that can map the keys properly?

There are different restart programs you can install that will include an app. You should change the times for your screen to turn off as well. If there isnt' water damage take your phone in to the provider and you should be able to get a new one.

I'm pretty sure this was just asked days ago, but the simplest solution would be to send the message as three separate sms, or make sure that you dont exceed the three message threshold.

Hi folks,

I've just come over from WinMo, so I'm pretty familiar with the concept of flashing, but not on an Android phone.

If anyone has any advice as to how I can get a generic/standard HTC Desire ROM to replace the Orange ROM that's come installed on my nice new phone, please let me know. At the moment, I've no root access, Goldcard or anything like that.

If the general concensus is that it's a bit too soon to start flashing then please let me know.

Many thanks in advance!

rich.
[Desire Android Development] murdoch1:
hi. at present whilst the desire has been successfully rooted, the process is not complete. therefore flashing a new rom is not an option at present. cheers Andy

Sorry, but that's wrong. There should be no issues flashing a generic rom over the branded ones..

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653490

seems people are doin it to get rid of the t-mobile branding, so should work the same for orange.

(need root for custom roms)

sorry, a bit quick. You do need a goldcard, but reckon you can follow one of the guides to get one here in the forums

here's your goldcard guide:

You guys are awesome. Never ceased to be amazed by this place.

If I have the bottle to go through with it and risk bricking my brand new phone I shall let you know how I get on!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I would create a backup of the orange ROM in case something goes wrong and you need Orange to replace it. Although I had flashed my SE C905 with generic fw and orange didnt say anything when they replaced it but best be safe then sorry.

[Desire Android Development] Hatticus:
Ah OK, cheers for the clarification. From everything I've read (both on here and over at MoDaCo) the flash process seems pretty safe/straight-forward, so fingers crossed I'll be OK! The Orange junk on my phone needs to go! I want GTalk back!

It's very straight forward. Go for it!

Successfully flashed my new Desire with Generic rom using Goldcard. Phone was on Orange UK, I bought an unlock code, applied it, it said Device Successfully Unlocked but it was still locked to Orange. After flashing the phone, reapplied unlock code and now I have an unlocked HTC Desire. The only thing that reminds me of Orange is the label on the back cover of the phone, but I can live with that until I can find one on ebay or somewhere.

[Desire Android Development] vdude_1:
Hmmm I'm not willing to give this one a go until I know I can get a replacement case if it goes wrong.

It's not been rooted. The only thing you can do at the moment is flash a generic unbranded rom. No custom roms or operator-specific roms are available yet.

Update

Howdy folks.

Just thought I'd update you. Eventually got around to installing the generic ROM on my UK Orange phone. Quite glad I did, none of those annoying demos in the programs list that you can't get rid of, nor the rubbish Orange apps/icons.

Not noticed any change in performance - the phone's still lightning fast! That's not to say it hasn't improved.

Just a quick note to say that the guide I followed at Modaco/Unlockr said 1) You needed a 'spare microsd card' and 2) You needed a microsd adaptor to plug it into your PC when you alter the Hex stuff.

Neither of which are entirely true - I successfully created my goldcard with my current microsd card (that came with the phone) and without an adaptor (used the phone in 'Disc Drive' mode when I got to that bit of the tutorial, then changed it back to Sync mode to install the new ROM).

Here's the guide:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...o-1-15-405-4-genericifying-your-t-mo-handset/

And the other one:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

Unfortunately, I've already ordered a nice 8GB microSD based on the advice on the websites. So...

If anyone wants a Sandisk 4GB microSD card that I have successfully used as a Goldcard for the princely sum of £5 (in the UK), please PM me. (Mods - apologies if this is against rules - happy to edit if that's the case)

Do me a favour though, if you're reading this thread in the coming months/years, please don't PM me - it'll probably have gone by then ;-)

Thanks go to the writers of the guides though, they're very explicit for anyone not sure about how to do it.

Cheers

[Desire Android Development] tuntang:
I've also flashed my phone using those guides and although i would say it was pretty technical, ( ie much more technical than than the good old days with my tytn ii when it was rooted), i did it. You just have to follow the instructions very precisely. I would agree with rich when he says that it has really been made as easy as it actually could be though. there's even a video for making the gold card on unlockr.

In terms of the new ROM, as far as i can see its definatley faster. I'm not sure by how much but maybe 20%. its actually noticeable. Also the battery life is better. I dont know how or why but these are just my observations on another typical working day. I'll probably by the HTC battery cover then all trace of orange will be removed!

The only thing i'm not sure of is when the next OTA update is coming from HTC, orange and t-mobile have already had one - where these internal fixes or is there an htc one to come?
[Desire Android Development] richratt:
@tuntang

Going on what it says in the Modaco forums, Paul's version is the updated HTC version.

I'm sure with the generic ROMs, we'd get any future updates before the proprietary ROMs anyway.

Don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I also noticed that previously unavailable apps (CallTrack) are now available on the Market. Maybe someone with an Orange ROM could check this?

[Desire Android Development] bo1o:
Hi, I've been looking around quite a few places to get an idea on how to de-brand my Orange UK Desire. I've noticed on a guide somwhere on the net where they ask you to set-up your PC with AndroidSDK, ADB and so on. I've had way too much trouble trying to setup the ADB driver.

Is there anything you did that's not mentioned on the two guides (modaco and unlockr) you've given?

Sorry for the noob question, just a little new to the flashing world.
[Desire Android Development] xmen06:
Sorry but anyone have htc desire orange rom need t send it to repair

thx
[Desire Android Development] zoltar99:
Unfortunately there's no way back, once you've flashed it. At least not until it gets rooted. Nobody has yet been able to extract the orange rom off the Desire. If I'm wrong, i will gladly accept being corrected.

Edit: It has just been rooted! Hurray! http://twitpic.com/1iwzwx
[Desire Android Development] bo1o:
I can't seem to setup ADB on my PC at all. I've seen a lot of people saying that they've done it and got rid of their branded stuff from the Desire, but I'm still stuck. A 15 minute job is never a 15 minute job!

What do I have to do to get going?

All I want is to get rid of the horrible Orange UK stuff thats sitting on my HTC Desire, and annoyingly unremovable!

Can someone point me in the right direction. I seem to have fallen at the first steps of setting up the ADB and can't progress any further than that.

I have downloaded AndroidSDK, etc, put my phone in debugging mode, plug the phone into my PC via HTC Sync, all drivers get installed apart from ADB. I have uninstalled all HTC-related drivers, tried again, reinstalled to look for the Dream ADB driver but zilch. I keep on getting asked to look for or browse for ADB. I've downloaded a USB driver pack on AndroidSDK and tried using that folder to install the ADB driver, still nothing.

Can someone please give me a hand?
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
I had trouble getting the phone to sync aswell, it syncs the first time after HTC Sync is installed but after that it doesn't work, I think it's a Win7 problem?

You only need it in sync mode to get the CID though, I installed the generic ROM yesterday by doing the following:

1. Uninstall HTC drivers and HTC Sync.

2. Make sure you have device installation settings set to "Always install the best driver from windows update".

3. Connect the phone in sync mode, it should install the drivers including the ADB driver automatically from windows, then disconnect it.

4. Install the latest version of HTC Sync from the HTC website (2.0.33).

5. Connect the phone in Sync mode, it should sync and stay connected so that you can run the command prompt stuff to get the CID.

After this you can be connected in storage mode (to copy over the goldcard image and flash the rom, I did it with the card in the phone using the 8Gb class 6 Sandisk card that came with my Touch HD.

Plugged the phone in just now and HTC Sync is still working. :)
[Desire Android Development] bo1o:
Nice one baked! I installed HTC Sync and it's looking good so far. Managed to get the Goldcard done as well.

Now, just need to find generic ROM fit for the Desire. Does anyone know what will be wiped off from the Desire when I de-brand Orange and opt for the generic HTC ROM? For example, will I lose HTC Sense UI, the live wallpapers, etc. It's just that I am looking to keep everything the same as it came out the box, apart from the Orange rubbish!

And also, can I backup the Orange ROM for emergenices?

Sorry, if my questions are nooby. It's because I am a little =[
[Desire Android Development] richratt:
@bo1o

You can find a link to download the generic HTC ROM here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...o-1-15-405-4-genericifying-your-t-mo-handset/

(The bit where it says '2. Download and run this RUU file on a Windows PC.')

All you lose is the Orange rubbish (Homescreen selector & Orange Apps), as well as the game demos.

You can't back up the Orange ROM, but I guess you could install it over the HTC generic ROM eventually. Just don't think it's available yet. Having said that, Orange are rubbish at tracking returned phones. They'd never know (nor care) that a phone has had a different ROM installed.
[Desire Android Development] bo1o:
Managed to get some time free after a hectic schedule and gonna crack on with this. Need to get the Oange bits off this Desire ASAP, I'm spending too much time on it.

This is going to be very nooby and yes, this is my first shot at Android, really sorry! So here it goes.

OK, so I've downloaded the Bravo 1.15.405.4 from Modaco: Updating to 1.15.405.4 / Generic'ifying your T-Mo handset

I just wanna double check before I dive in. I don't wanna go offtrack, so I'll explain my method. Feel free to correct or advise me...

Now that I've downloaded the Bravo ROM, which is an .exe file, I copy it to the Goldcard straight in, not in any folders, etc.

Insert the Goldcard into the Desire and turn the phone on. This is where it gets a little hazy.

Run the downloaded software ...and hopefully that should be it.

My concern is the in-between stuff, as in, do I have to press certain buttons or go through a different process when turning the phone on to run the downloaded software? What options do I choose to get rid of the Orange stuff?

I would really appreciate if someone quickly write up a step-by-step for dummies, or correct or add to my method.

Sorry and thanks in advance!

PS. Once the Desire is de-branded, is there anything else technical I have to do in the future in terms of updates, etc? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
You don't copy the .exe to your goldcard you just run it on your pc with the phone plugged in and it installs it on the phone, as long as you have a goldcard in the phone.
[Desire Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Do I want to have my SIM removed from the phone before and after I flash the ROM so that no external software can be added by the provider? Are there pros and cons to this? Does this affect APNs being automatically detected correctly for specific providers?
[Desire Android Development] beaverHausen:
Error 131 . . .still...

I have created several goldcards now following the instructions to the letter (Is there a better way to test than simply taking it out and putting it back in?) but am still getting Error [131]: Customer ID Error.

I have read somewhere on a droid forum that a user has got it work by not reversing the code, this is the only thing I have left to try but am a little concerned that this may brick it.

Can anyone advise? please?

I'm not gonna bother answering your nooby questions, I'm just gonna put it simple for you.

Create a goldcard here:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

just follow the instructions from start to finish

once that's done plug ur phone into the USB (with debugging mode still on) and then run the Generic HTC ROM you downloaded from mocado on your PC..

I did this without hesitation on my Orange handset the night it arrived, you wont look back.

BUT in all seriousness, if you cant get your head round it..

...then dont do it or ask a more technically minded chum to do it for you.
[Desire Android Development] tuntang:
i'm technically not great at this sort of thing and after following the instructions precisely, i managed to flash this no problem. You do need to be able to be very careful and precise when creating the gold card so make sure you're not in a distracting environment. I'm on orange and flashed it no worries. i have to say, i'm still hesitant to root, as the dev threads here seem to be full of people with problems.
[Desire Android Development] beaverHausen:
Success!!!

Thanks oursoul, these instructions worked spot on.

Wheras other instructions I had said to format the goldcard in the adapter I feel this is where it was failing.

Happy as the proverbial pig!

Cheers guys!
[Desire Android Development] hulkhaugen:
Seems simple, and i tried with the 4gb card that came with the phone, but i have one question though, because it seems that Soaa.me doesn't do what it's suppose to do. Se image:

00a20083604370804734305553445303 <-- The output looks like this

002a0038063407087443035535443530 <-- Should look like this?

Either way, none of them seems to work. I got one more card on my hands i can try, a 8GB that came with a Nokia 5800

EDIT: WOHOO! Got it :) I was selecting Logical disk instead of Physical disk

BTW! Does it hurt if i install the generic rom before unlocking it?
[Desire Android Development] ole2mail:
confirm

I confirm, procedure worked very well for HTC Desire from Orange France too.
[Desire Android Development] hulkhaugen:
When HTC relases the next update (if they ever do), will i ba able to update it the simple way, or do i have to wait for a MoDaCo version and make a new goldcard again? Yes, i've got a Orange Desire with MoDaCo 1.15.405.4 Generic rom...
[Desire Android Development] gingercat:
My uneducated guess would be that you (and I) will have to use the goldcard method because ultimately our phones won't allow a non-orange ROM to be flashed without the goldcard trickery.
