[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but cant you access ADB through fastboot? Couldn't you just re-flash your recovery?
[Hero CDMA General] dfbonney:
You cannot access ADB in fastboot mode. Those who have had 110 errors from the RUU are stuck in fastboot. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Ugh...

10chars
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
When you're stuck on the HTC screen, do a 'fastboot devices' and post what you get please.
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
Yikes! Lucky I'm not one of those.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
It's easily fixable (thanks dfbonney:) )
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
I know. I already got it fixed thanks to DFbonney. I was just ugh...ing at the memory.

Thanks though!

Still waiting on OP to see if he can follow my suggested method to fix his recovery image.
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
Do that I got the exact same error when trying to ruu and I put it into fastboot mode and the ruu ran perfect
[Hero CDMA General] BAttitude7689:
Okay I did this and in the command prompt I typed

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb devices

(it says) Lists of devices attached

then I type adb shell or adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard

then it says error:device not found
[Hero CDMA General] BAttitude7689:
just tried to run the RUU while in fast boot and I get the same error 170 USB connection Error
[Hero CDMA General] BAttitude7689:
yess all i see is a blank recovery screen with Build: RA-heroc-v1.5.2 at the bottom
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
sounds like a partial brick...your screwed. try to flash a stock RUU and take the thing into sprint and prepare to pay for a new one. sorry to be an ass but it's the truth. by flashing & rooting you voided your warranty and they probably won't replace it for the $100 or free.

at least you can't blame the chefs as the 2.1 build are still beta and you flash "at your own risk" i wish i could help you more man but id just take the damn thing in and take my chances. if you need a cheap hero look on ppcgeeks or craigslist, ive seen plenty on there for sale.
[Hero CDMA General] BAttitude7689:
what can i do to try to make it look back to stock as possible then they wont charge me for a new hero
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
What shows up when you type 'fastboot devices'?
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Have you tried my suggestion with it stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant logo.

I could be totally wrong but I disagree that is it bricked because you've said you didn't make any changes.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
it depends on the tech you get, some care and some don't. you may just want to start looking for a cheap hero online and sell yours to someone who can try to fix it or use it for parts. i don't know what else to tell you. try to take it in and if they tell you they know you bricked it just take it back and walk away. i wouldn't pay what they want for the hero now that the N1 & evo are coming soon. the value of the hero will drop significantly.

come to think about it, if they see it running anything custom they may try to charge you for looking at it. if you cant somehow get a stock rom flashed i would just sell the darn thing and cut my losses. ive seen several hero's on craigslist for $150-200.
[Hero CDMA General] ebartolon:
what extension is your ext partition?
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
what would his sd card have to do with this? the recovery nor the rom don't run off that, do they? i mean we just use that for apps2sd and to flash roms.
[Hero CDMA General] jUgGsY:
I don't remember you saying what happened when/if you tried using Fresh Kitchen to restore a nandroid backup that you (hopefully) saved to your PC when you originally rooted.

Does Kitchen detect if your phone is connected when in the recovery screen? Have you also made sure that the problem isn't with the usb connection itself? Some kind of driver mixup?
[Hero CDMA General] richse:
True, the sdcard should not matter for recovery or booting the rom. The recovery and the rom both run off internal memory. I wonder what may have killed his SD card and whether or not that may have damaged other parts of the phone possibly causing this problem.
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
and to hold some rocking tunes..
[Hero CDMA General] BAttitude7689:
where do i type in fastboot devices? Im a noob to the (cmd) and adb shell
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
You get to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Then type fastboot devices

You can check out the thread in my signature for RUU screw up. There is some information about fastboot commands there by DFBonney.
[Hero CDMA General] Lennyuk:
I am sure Amon Ra's recovery images older than 1.6.2 do need a sd card in to work. Don't ask me why I just remember reading him say it somewhere.
[Hero CDMA General] Zexter:
If you can't do anything from recovery. Just get the correct cdma ruu, and start over.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
I will pay you $25 for your "bricked" phone plus I'll cover shipping.
[Hero CDMA General] pb4life754:
try pressing home back then power if it comes to the clearstorage screen press trackball then menu and it will wipe ur dev to see if that works then run the backup i have had to do that on a few older roms that caused my hero to hang on the htc screen
[Hero CDMA General] los1223:
My only 2 suggestions.

1. Try a factory reset - Hold Home and Back and press Red key. Continue holding home and back until you get the screen with the androids on skateboards. Try the reset / clear option and see if it boots.

2. Clear Data & Cache and flash ROM from SD- Format your SD card on your comp. Put the .zip of your ROM of choice on the root of the SD card. Put card in phone. Hold Home and press Red key. Continue holding home until you get to the recovery console. Scroll down to Wipe and do all the wipes here (I think there's 5). Go back to the main menu and this time select Flash .zip from card. Select the .zip you put on the card and follow the instructions to flash the rom.

That's about as far as my knowlege of phones will take me. It's not bricked though, atrue brick doesn't turn on. Yours is just failing to boot. If you get a boot screen, there's hope.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritasaequita:
i might be way off on this but im just being cautious. I decided i was gonna replace the 4gig class 2 sd that comes w/ the nexus with the 4gig class 6 i had in my g1. i decided to use my g1 to format the nexus sd card but noticed 1 thing i guess i just dont understand. When i dropped into parted with the nexus sd card i typed "print" just to see if it was only 1 partition but what i seen was this

Number___Start_______End_________Size______Type_____File System

___1____4194kB_____3965MB_____3961MB_____Primary______fat32

can someone explain to me what would be from 0-4194kB and also how the end size is bigger than the complete size. If that is how its supp to be and im just misunderstanding then please update me on how it actually works or if ive noticed something that needed to be pointed out.

Thanks, veritasaequita
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
3961MB + 4194kb = 3965MB, the "End" Size is just an Index. Partition starts at 4M, is 3961 MB in size, so it ends at 3965M

About the missing 4M at the start, I'll take a quick look at it.

EDIT:

Looks like all zero to me, if you substract the mbr from the first 4MB. Perhaps somebody at google did some clever aligning? but then 4mb would be huuuuuge :eek:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritasaequita:
thats kinda what i was thinking, actually my first thought was if it was a 4mb sorta kinda "swap type partition" for performance....prolly not though. im a perfectionist so im not gonna swap cards until i can fig out what or where those 4mb are and have them on my new card....i dunno my ears are smoking now...lol

veritas
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
well you can always just dd the old card to the new one and then enlarge the fat partition (or in your case: just omit the last step :D )

but why make such a fuss about 4mb of zeros? i've seen lots of strangely partitioned usb-sticks/flash disks --and-- a lot of people use other cards in ther n1's (because of the crappy size the n1 ships with). if you must you can always make a dd to a new card or store the dump somewhere for restore later (or just put the old card somewhere safe?).

but still, that seems paranoid and not perfectionistic... ;) don't worry so much

ps: yeah, swap with 4mb wouldn't help much and on the other hand they would just mark it as "swap" in the partition table if it were the case.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritasaequita:
im following, thanks for the insight bro:)

veritas
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Just a guess, but most modern hard drives have a hardware cache at the start of the disk. i.e 8MB, 16MB, 32MB etc.

Maybe your SD card uses 4MB.

Also, the manufacturers use the non-technical "Billion Bytes" instead of "Giga Bytes" in the fine print. 4000000000 B (Billion Bytes) = 3814 MB
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
nope, cache would be invisible by definition.

also the 4mb are there just not allocated to any partition. this has nothing to do with how you calculate the size of the disk.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritasaequita:
Just out of curiosity could there ever be a possible way someone like perhaps google could store something hidden to everyone else in that 4mb for maybe like a factory backup of the file system or a backup bootloader? Just exercising my brain, thats all...lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
It's nothing basically, all the hard drives in your PC will have a few meg space you can't partition.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
well of course you can store something there and if the IPL of the phone can access the sd card it certainly could execute that or flash something. there is a broad range of possibilities what you could and couldn't to with the 4 meg (a factory backup would be a little bigger ;) ) and a backup bootloader wouldn't make sense, because you can feed something to the current loader directly. if you do anything worse to the phone like erasing the IPL, well thats what JTAG is for, just program the chips directly.

so of course this could be an evil tracking cookie and we all could get even more paranoid, but still its all zero's and not really "hidden" in any way, just not allocated and directly visible.

what i want to say: every facebook or other kind of web 2.0 shouldn't be worried about 4 unexplainable megs on some sd card :D

Preordered items shipping Tuesday

On sale in shops Wednesday
[Desire General] zaphyr:
Perfect! Thanks for the info kmoon! IMO, they should send info like this via email to the customers that has preordered. Not everyone uses FB, Twitter or whatever. Luckily we have communities like XDA that passes on info like this :D

Knowing the swedish postal service though, the preorders will arrive thursday, maybe even friday :rolleyes:
[Desire General] kbetcher:
I just called 3 about my preorder, and they said that they will be shipping out on Monday and should have it by Tuesday. Not sure who is doing their Facebook feed.
[Desire General] Micksson:
Luckily it wont be the swedish postal service but DHL who will deliver our phones to the nearest DHL pickup place, like kiosks and those kinds. Companys will get their phone to the door.
[Desire General] zaphyr:
Oh man, I don't know if that's lucky for me. Other times I received DHL packages I had to pick them up at the terminal, and they are only open until 17, and closed in the weekends. It's a pain to get there in time, and I have had to leave early from work, which is never good. Perhaps I can call 3 and ask them to send it to a service point a little closer.
[Desire General] zaphyr:
Well, I got mine today :D

They told me it would be grey, and on the receipt it says black...but it's really the brown one :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] toff74:
Hello..

I've been serially flashing my device with 6.5 since for the past few months. Now i've decided to take the plunge and go 6.5.x, only its really difficult to hit some of the soft buttons.. Does anyone here know if there is an easy way to switch the device to Left Handed operation?

Thank you
[HD2 General] forelli:
Hi,

As a general rule, if you want an answer to a question, fully explain what's your problem and which result you would like to have. There's just not enough information to answer you.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I have to disagree with the above poster, but that's probably because I completely understand your needs. I'm ambidextrous (partially - not fully), so I manage without any real issue, but I do feel restricted by the right-handedness.

I'm afraid that you're stuck with it. Windows has always been a righty, even when on a monitor. Everything's on the right, or in the top right or bottom right corners. All except the start menu, which we have a button for, in the middle, so it doesn't really matter.

Afraid you're gonna just have to get used to it mate.
[Touch HD General] lemat1:
Hi all, reading in the rom section i have seen a so called "new outlook" interface mentioned on the 235XX (WM6.5.5) could some one with it be so kind as to post a screen shot? so i can see if its worth the flash get it.

Regards

Mat
[Touch HD General] welki1979:
I've got a feeling that this might be for exchange 2010 users only as it was mentioned a few months back in other threads.

The UI is much nicer but there appears to be no way to get it to run on a non-exchange 2010 device/connection as the new interface is installed 'over the air' form the exchange server.

I've been waiting for this for a while for non-exchange use but have not yet seen a release by anyone.
[Touch HD General] leungda:
I am using Exchange 2010 and 6.5.5 Mobile Outlook. The Mobile Outlook is much better than the old version but I still have a problem. The 6.5.5 Mobile Outlook can backup all the SMS in the Exchange 2010. Also, you can send and recive SMS via OUTLOOK or your mobile phone.

There is no way to automatically download internet picture on the email and it cannot zoon in-out like a iphone. Overall, it sucks but it is much better than the perious one.

Hi is anyone willing to share the my cap app apk so i can load and test on a desire handset please.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoverseer:
I'm looking to get a Desire, still haven't managed to have a play on one (everywhere seems to be out of stock) and just have 2 quick questions before I order one:

- Does the flip clock have the flip animation like on Sense UI on Windows Mobile (ala Leo/Topaz etc?) or can this be enabled?

- Does the phone have homescreen weather animations? (Again like Manila 2.1/2.5). I've only ever seen clouds go across the screen, but do you see rain and the wiper etc?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
1- what you mean flip animation? does the time update by flipin the 'time cards'? if so then yes it does flip

2. yes it does have all the animations :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoverseer:
The animation I mean is like this one: (@ 0:50) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11wKmsnNnT0&feature=related
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cez10:
ok on my desire the clock updates so fast that theres no flip animation

i havent had a sunny weather yet so didnt notice the sun kind of glowing yet, but when its raining or its cloudy the animation works fine
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EroThraX:
Flip animation still hasn't returned to HTC sense, the HD2 had it though so maybe an issue with Android made them decide to leave it out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhino14jumper:
The first week I had my fuze i connected it to my cmputer multiple times. I connnected through active sync and through the memory card in my phone now when in plug it in on the same computer all it does is charge it doesnt show anything is connected or even attempting to connect. I reinstalled activesync,turned off firewall both didnt work. I prefer not to hard reset but if thats what it takes.... Any Ideas?:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mat157:
Partnership

I think I have had this problem before, you may want to try deleting the Activesync partnership from both the phone and the computer, then set it up again.

Good luck ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhino14jumper:
if i delete activsync from the phone how do i reinstall it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mat157:
Noooooo

I didn't mean delete the actual Activesync application, just the partnership with the computer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] darfri:
select manually from settings-connections-usb activesync and then connect wire, then disconnect and set it to storage and connect wire again. The point is to change the purpose of the usb manually between physical connections

[Desire General] xmfreak:
I was wondering if Desire works OK with bluetooth hand-free devices. Someone who can tell us about it? I use it a lot on my car and it's a basic point for a mobile phone. I would really appreciate any feedback about this.

Thanks.
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
It has full A2DP which means you can control the device using the stereo itself, something the iphone cannot do :)

Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) is what works properly on the Desire, the iphone does not have this support

The Desire supports the following Bluetooth Profiles

A2DP,AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, PBAP, SPP, Service Discovery Application Profile

This is a full list of all the bluetooth layers

Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)

Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)

Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)

Basic Printing Profile (BPP)

Cordless Telephony Profile (CTP)

Device ID Profile (DID)

Dial-up Networking Profile (DUN)

Fax Profile (FAX)

File Transfer Profile (FTP)

General Audio/Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP)

Generic Access Profile (GAP)

Works well with my BT Parrot CK3300 kit.
[Desire General] hot-fuzz:
Ive got a Pioneer 7100BT winging its way to me, that has A2DP, im hoping it will work well with my Desire. Will post results when i get it and install it tomorrow.
[Desire General] skraggy_uk:
Seems to work ok with my Standard Motorola headset.

Hoping to be able to est it with a bluetooth stereo soon.
[Desire General] salahag:
Hope someone can figure this out:

I've had experience with 3 mobiles connecting to the built-in bluetooth in my car (HTC Tytn II, HTC Hero and Nokia e71) my concern is the following:

With the Nokia, when I get a call, I hear the phone ringtone through the car speakers. But with both HTCs I couldn't, I hear the default car ringtone, which is REALLY annoying.

The nokia e71 has the following bluetooth specs:

Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate

- Bluetooth profiles: DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, HSP, BIP, RSAP, GAVDP, AVRCP, A2DP

does anyone know if one of the these profiles is responsible for this? which one? I hope it would work with the Desire.

by the way, does making the phone visible before connecting make any difference? (just wondering)

[Desire General] Pumpkin Lantern:
Hi, I have the CK3200 LS-COLOR and I can't get the contacts to load on the parrot, did you have any teething troubles?
[Desire General] sh500:
No problems at all. Just a standard pairing; it took less than a minute to auto sync the address book and I was ready to go.

I've never had problems with this kit; have sync'd numerous WinMo devices, Blackberrys (is that the plural?!) (still active for work) and now the Android device.
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
VAG cars need phones that use the RSAP Bluetooth profile, it's a bit of a wierd profile and stands for Remote Sim Access Profile, now looking this up for you I can only see some blackberry and Nokia phones that have this profile.

Bluetooth phone prep is a bit of a waste of time at the moment as the company who writes the software are not fully integrating there systems with everyone else, they are also not following standard A2DP procedures, I would imagine this is due to a partnership thing with people like Nokia and company cars etc.

Next time save the 600 quid or so you pay to have bluetooth prep and get a decent stereo like I have in my Audi, unless you got satnav too then you are stuffed :(

I have enclosed a link on VAG group phone prep and HTC phones, make sure your SIM card is of the new Variety

[Desire General] daesimps:
I've had mixed results.

In my car the Desire works perfectly with the Parrot CK3300. I get full bluetooth contact sync, voice dialling works fine (the CK3300 does the voice recognition as the Desire doesn't do it over bluetooth) and calls come through loud and clear.

The wife has the lower CK3000 Evo. This doesn't have a display, so you send contacts to the kit over bluetooth and then record voice tags against them so that the kit can do voice dialling. Unfortunately the Desire refuses to send contacts to it and claims that the kit doesn't support sending contacts over bluetooth. This unfortunately means the wife can use the kit for incoming calls, but has no voice dialling for outgoing calls when she also upgrades to the Desire on Saturday when her contract's up.

Dae.
[Desire General] n-j-f:
But what about voice dialling over Bluetooth with any of those?
