ok so I have go root someones mt3g today, I'm in a rush and this whole 32a 32b thing is confusing me. I know there is the search, but I am not in the mood to be browsing forums.

ok, he has an unlocked "Developers conference 2009" phone, it's unlocked. that's all I know. I do not know what radio he is on, or anything more than that.

Do you know if this is the new or old chipset

32a or 32b?

please don't ream me a new one over this, I have very little time
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] canada2005:
Volume down + power will bring you all the info you can ever imagine about that phone... Think you need to slow down and read before you do this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
read this to determine if you have a 32a or 32b although im almost positive you have a 32b if its a dev phone (ion)

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_determine_if_you_have_32A_or_32B

then follow the guides here for what model you have (32a or 32b)

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#Upgrading_from_Vanilla:_Installing_your_first_mod

or you can also visit www.theunlockr.com as they have guides as well

(i like cyanogens guides tho and you dont have to stay on his rom once you have ra recovery installed)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gmelchert:
thanks a lot! yeah its the ion.

I have uploaded some Desire ROMS, they are older roms but I am sure they will be good for the community to have access to them. So here they are.

[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
sweet thanks, its great to have a place to find all the shipped roms at.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
What are the differences between theses roms there are a lot to choose from ?

TIA
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
to be honest I have no idea, but they will be older stuff, so more than likely wont be has useful to everyday users. But if something happens to your device, you have the stock versions there where you can downlaod and restore to device.

But I am not an android developer and i have never looked into the files, and so I can not tell you what the difference is.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
Just saw you post this on twitter too, thanks conflipper
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
im wondering what that pb00img_21_official is???
[Droid Eris Android Development] DS36:
yea me too id hate to lose my root
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
Already downloading it, haha, I'm running the leaks so no problem with root here
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Someone asked me to load it up.

It appears to be the same one that is on this site

THIS SITE

So I would not recommend doing this, cause it looks like it will UNROOT your device.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
O well nevermind then, Thanks anyways though con.

I think you should probably rename it to "leak2" or something, as to not confuse anyone
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
OKay, thanks for the tip it is done, I really wasnt sure what was in the file, so I just took the file name has it was.

Hello

I think I have a compete dead HTC Touch ELF here. Someone I know tried to flash it but he bricked it, so I decided to try some things out. He already bought a new cellphone so if I can revive this device I can use it.

Now the problem is it doesn't respond to anything. When I try to reset (Camera button + reset button) nothing happens at all.

When I connect it to the PC (using USB) and I reset it find a device called "PocketPC USB Sync" (Windows 7), but still no screen

So I tried various things from the stickies but nothings seems to make the screen function again.

Could anyone help me further?

Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
I have now discovered something. If I connect to USB with no battery, do a hard reset and insert the battery, an orange led turns on.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
with any luckthis is what i am looking at making a guide to fix. I have one in the same state.

Theres not alot that may help, but it may be worth looking at the recover your elf thread. Should be in the rom section. May be something there to try. You may find this thread gets closed as you're not meant to post a thread per each phone though.
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
Thanks for your reply. Yes I've already tried different things out those stickies, except that Goldcard since I'm currently unable to do the first step.

I'm sorry for opening a thread than, I'm new here and my only intention is trying to get this cellphone back to work!

Edit: I think the screen/screen controller is broken. I managed to install an original ROM from the HTC website. Now sometimes it does those Windows Mobile Alert sounds.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
open it up and check that the ribbon to the lcd is attached/ damaged, i think the lcds go for about £15-20 at the moment. They're real easy to change, just be careful on the latch at the back.
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
Could the no screen be the result of something going wrong when flashed?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
i'm not an expert when it comes to that, but i'd guess its highly unlikely. It could be worth checking ribbon etc first, rule that part of hardware? Do you have a second elf? Could try that lcd with it if you do and don't mind opening them.
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
I removed the screen and placed it again (checking the ribbon). Still not working.

I do not have another ELF to test the screen.

When I try flashing again it seems its unable to get the old version number ("Ancienne version" in the picture). Is this normal?

http://tinypic.com/r/16ap74o/5

The update itself works perfectly

Device info dump:
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
As you can pull the device info and flash stuff, it doesn't sound like it is dead... Have you tried running MyMobiler to see if that can connect to your device so that you can see what would be on it - Will help decide if it is dead. It will prompt to install on your device though, so you will need to guess and press the left softkey after running the exe on your pc.

If you have flashed a new firmware onto it though, you would probably need to realign - May be able to your msp_remotealignment for that - Not sure.
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
When I try the Remote Screen Alignment and I press "Skip" it gives this error message:

"An error occurred while trying to configure the remote device. Please reinstall Remote Screen Alignment"

MyMobiler doesn't want to connect, but it also says "Running on your mobile" and sometimes it pops out "Connected", but still doesn't work.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Hey CTWA, did you manage to fix your problem? Did you get a new lcd screen?

Stu
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
No I didn't had the time to go look for a new screen yet. I'm not sure if I will either.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Hmm, does that mean you no longer are using/wanting your device? (I'm still after one to test JTAG on!) If you want to sell, let me know.

Sorry to change the subject slightly, but I otherwise hope you do manage to :)
[Touch GSM General] ctwa:
Since the device still isn't technically mine, I cant just sell it. I'll ask my mate about it!

[Hero CDMA General] beerock:
Ok, I have been doing some combinations to see what may be causing my phone to not sleep. I have flashed damage 2.06, with a few of the lockscreen fixes from Flipz and JsChiSurf. Phone seemed to be sleeping fine until I had applied the black vanilla fix from Flipz.

Any help in another way to track this problem down I would appreciate. I do have different nandroid backups that are confirmed to be sleeping. It seems that the backup with the "black" vanilla fix is where I stay awake but I could be wrong.:confused:

Can anyone else confirm they are using the "black" vanilla fix and sleeping?:cool:

Thanks in advance!:D
[HD2 General] xian1074:
I'm searching and reading various threads to try to get a grasp of where I stand but I haven't had a WMO phone in so long that it's taking me a little bit to get reacquainted with the process. That said, I traded my iPhone for an HD2 and my guess is that the guy had modded this a bit but I don't know what "stock" is for the HD2 and all that jazz. So here's what I have sitting in front of me:

SPL 2.08.HSPL

ROM version: Kumar's TMob P1.4 WWE

Radio version: 2.08.50.08_2

Flash size: 1024

Now, the phone's a little buggy from time to time in that the wrong time will display and the phone will lock up and need to be hard booted to get it going again and I'm wondering if it's because of the set up that's installed on it or what not? I'm going to keep researching and re-teaching myself on how to install custom ROMs and find one that I think will suit me best (it should come back to me in a bit ... the basics anyway) but if you guys could help me out and let me know where I stand and some suggestions on where I should go from here, that would be cool. I know this is a n00b question but I also know some of you enjoy helping people learn. I'm not asking for anyone to teach me how to do all of this ... I can learn that from the various threads.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
i assume this is a TMOUS HD2?

one piece of advice i'll give you is not to flash your radio to any of the .51 variants as it will brick your phone.

eg. your radio is 2.08.50.08_2 -> do not get one with .51

radio's control your communications, 3g, wifi, sms, chatting etc and has effects on battery life

spl 2.08 HSPL means your phone is unlocked and you can run any ROM you like (CHECK FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH US TMOB) -> download HSPL2 and you can change this to w/e version you like.

kumar is one of the ROMS available.

if your phone is buggy i recommend looking at the task 29 stickies, these format your phone so you can install a new rom on a fresh device
[HD2 General] xian1074:
Oh, yes, sorry ... TMOUS.

That's exactly the kind of feedback and guidance I'm looking for. Thank you very much. I'll make sure to refer to this as I go. At least I can be a little pleased that he did some of the work for me by unlocking it ... less steps for me. :)

Other feedback is welcome and appreciated.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
a few pointers.

the 1024 flash size means it is a t mobile us (tmous) version.

most things will work just fine, there are two things you really need to know.

roms - your phone will only take roms based on version 2.1. find your roms in the tmous dedicated rom development section, not this rom development section. if you flash thee wrong rom the phone will hang at the boot screen, but is not permanent.just boot to bootloader and re flash.

radio - this is IMPORTANT. any radio with a 51 in the version WILL KILL YOUR PHONE STONE DEAD.

so example a radio called 2.09.51.x will destroy your phone, no known way to fix at the moment.

radios with a 50 in the version are fine. example 2.08.50.x will work.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
in response to the other poster, you should only use spl 2.08.hspl, since thee only roms that work are 2.1 it would be pointless and possibly risky to use any lower version of spl/hspl
[HD2 General] xian1074:
Okay, awesome. Thank you. You guys rock. I appreciate the help.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
.cab files are the windows mobile setup files, they can be ran straight from your phone.

when you download a ROM, you will be given a .nbh file and an installer .exe, the installer and the ROM must be placed in the same folder.

to enter the phone's bootloader, hold down the VolumeDown key while turning on your phone, here you can also install ROM's without having to start the phone, especially useful because if you flash a ROM while the phone is on, battery checks etc will prevent you from flashing, very annoying if you have 49% battery, flashing from the bootloader prevents this.

hard resetting your phone (recommended after ROM flash): press the power button to turn on the phone WHILST holding down both VolumeUp and VolumeDown buttons, press VolumeUp when prompted, this is a hard reset, it simply wipes data from the phone and makes it setup like when you first got it.

currently on your Today screen on the phone, I presume there are 3 icons, and when you scroll down there is a 3x3 grid in which you can add icons to, do a search for Cookie's Home Tab, it adds more links, more functionality, and generally looks much better
[HD2 General] xian1074:
You guys are awesome. I know it's frustrating to explain the basics over and over but I appreciate the time you've taken to respond.
[HD2 General] xian1074:
Okay, I successfully ran task 29 and then installed a stock ROM (with radio 50) and everything seems to be working well. I think I'm going to leave it like this for a bit and see what I like and don't like about the stock ROM and then I can make a better choice about which ROM to go with if I decide to customize. I sincerely appreciate your help, guys.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
sounds like a good idea :-)

I'm glad we were of help :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] eshd:
Hello,

is there a way to show the coordinates in GoogleMaps?

Hope this is not a stupid question, but I can not find them.

I have the version 4.0.0(#81).

Thanks

eshd
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Pere:
No. It's not a stupid question at all!, the only stupid was the Google's developer who decided that this feature was irrelevant for ordinary people! I suppose that you, as me, want to be able to identify a place on Google maps, and copy the coordinates to your Navigator software or to the contacts , or send them to a friend to meet...etc

The only way is to "flash back" to the early 2008.... Attached you will find and old Google Maps version. which is the last when you were able to mark a point of the screen as beginning or as end of a itinerary, and then you could see the latitude,longitude and copy them to the copy-board.

The only problem is that you can't have both Google maps versions working together on your device ( or, at least I don't know how do it).

Now, what I do is having both cabs available and install the desired one over the other every time that I need it (it takes just a few seconds)

If someone knows how to have both apps working together, it would be great to share it!

You have describe exact condition wat i am facing, Actually i was starting new thread Q, and i was directed to ur post. I am using Navigon, some time i want direction which is not included in Navigon, So wat is way to enter desired location?

Here i hav searched a way to get it, it is 2-3 step procedure, but till we get right solution one can use it.

First long press on google map on desired location, it will popup loading address

- press on address - select share this place

PS : I noticed your locale set to UK, it wont show, but if select US, it showing..
[G1 General] neutraz:
i wanted to upgrade my android G1 to android 1.5, i have downloaded the boot.img + recovery.img+radio.img

i have started by these :

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot

after that when i tried to type on the prompt :

fastboot flash system system.img

it says that there's no signature & verification failed. Installation aborted

and now my phone when i power it, it stops in the starter screen image.

what could i do to re-install my phone with fastboot command ? and what have i do to eliminate the verification of signature ?
[G1 General] maxma21:
sorry to hear dat mate. try flashing software but read all instructions b4 do dat
[G1 General] neutraz:
thanks, but the problem is how, because my first aim -i think- is to unblock the bootloader whitch is responsable of the message no signature found.

any one can help me ?

is there a method that allow me to install new system G1 without it verifies the signature ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdantuma:
The small home screen weather, right beneath the clock, animates. When you open the home screen the weather animates for a short time.

I dont mean the animated background on the home screen which covers the whole screen. I really mean the tiny weather thingy.

I want that to stop. Anyone has any idea how to stop this? I've got the latest 2.5 23xxx Energy Cookie Rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well that small animation should only happen when you go back to the home tab or when the clock itself is reloading..... like after you flip the cookietab back down or something.

It doesnt slow down your phone at all and that animation takes a whole, what, 3 seconds? I would just use a rom that doesnt include that weather panel under the clock. The weather may look a bit funny just sort of popping back and forth between your my location weather forcasts as it changes.

I think that weather animation its pretty much standard even on 2.1 roms now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdantuma:
Its annoying. The weather is fine, but the animation is bugging me ... but oke.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
You can remove it but then you won't have any weather there at all. At least to my knowledge.

I tried Home Tab, but isn't completely compatible with fuze, if i use vga mode the quick lunch pass in second page under home, if i don't use this variable the quick lunch row is in part under the manila tab.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fxdadbrowser:
use CHTeditor and enable vga mode.

i really wanted to like this phone since it came out last year but it really had let me down at every corner. everything is a project and most nothing works like it should. ive flashed roms installed various cab to help but windows mobile is just a piece of ****. i came from a phone that worked 99.9% of the time to a phone that i have to mod and then have to reboot 3 times a day to work 60% of the time if im lucky. i click on youtube.... takes forever even on wifi. i daytrade and there is not one single winmo app that can compare to the iphone app that i have for stocks....and looked for days. i use opera mobile and this ***** locks up. i use skyfire and it wont play the videos (why the **** not)that i need especially law and order. my suppose non flash iphone can play them.. sorry for any misspelling(its the keyboard)i have to battle with. now if i only can remember where i left it......my iphone that is.

You guys shouldn't get an HD2 at the first place! Windows Mobile is for users that know what they are doing and like to optimize and customize the OS.

If you like the iPhone just get one! Please don't start discussions here that lead to nowhere!

What do you expect to hear from the community here?

I had 2 iPhones, one Palm Pre and many many Windows Mobile devices. I am an IT Pro and I know my way as regards to mobile OSes...

Having said that, I love my HD2 and I find it a great phone for everybody that wants to have a great communications device, watch movies, play music and do all kinds of stuff but games!

[HD2 General] intrancer:
HD2 is a brillant phone ... if u know how to use it well.

ive also had a iphone, palm pre... i total agree with petvas post
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
In my opinion I think that the HD2 is an amazing phone with so much potential. I have spent countless hours trying different ROMs and RADIOs and tweaking everything. Right now I am on Energy with the GTX Theme and I am LOVING it.

The one deal breaker for me though is that my phone has the Internet Dropout problem which many people around the forum have. If it wasn't for this I would love my phone to bits. But right now it's completely unusable.

T-Mobile stock ROM is a living nightmare, ridden with bugs, and unfortunately the average user would not know about HSPLing their device just to get a working phone.

Because I am completely unable to use the Internet on my phone without having to re-connect every 2 minutes, I am getting the HTC Desire, absolutely free! This is because I have reported this to T-Mobile and have tried everything to resolve it but it just doesn't work. I am just waiting for T-Mobile to get stock of the Desire and it will then be sent to me within 2 days. Hope this helps!

ok listen, ive had various wm phones over the years and i consider myself a pro since ive had considerable time with wm. the problem i have is that it looks like no matter the hardware wm just wont play nice and it cannot be this way. Im tired of people saying that wm is for people that know what there are doing however if their phone were running tip top they never share the secret. why should i need a billion different cabs to speed this thing up when it supposedly has the top of theline processor. why the frequent lockups, why do i have to run cleanram every other minute. i never had these problems so fequently on prior versions of wm. also everybody says "i had an iphone". i had a 3g and that was a piece of **** too, the 3gs is the only one that counts in my book.... so unless you had a 3gs i dont wanna hear it. my hd2 should be wiping my 3gs all over the floor and its so not.
