[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuyinsama:
Hey.

I had my G1 today it was running Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 (the latest)

all worked fine untill this morning I hooked it up on USB.

Suddenly the phone reboots and keeps hanging on the G1 Splash screen.

Recovery wont work (home+power)

SPL wont work (camera+power)

it just hangs..

is there a way to fix this or do I need to return it?

many thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0ricuaguerrero:
sounds like a brick to me. i just bricked my phone 2minutes ago. i flashed death spl before updating radio. this what happens when you dont sleep and start flashing away. tmobile sending me a new g1 told them my phone froze and pulled battery out. rebooted and was just hanging on g1 screen, played dumb for the techs, and now im getting new one,
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuyinsama:
ahh haha

I already figured.

Although I didn't flash the danger SPL.

I actually had the rooted phone downgraded back to stock 1.6.

And after that the phone went downhill.

had alot of FC's and applications that were installed that came up telling me it wasnt installed but couldnt redownload from the market etc.

Really weird...

ahh well ill call tmobile later today.

thanks for the reply :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
So you tried pulling your battery out....and then turning the phone back on using Home + Power?

What about Camera + Power?

Hi Guys,

for some reason when i receive email to my phone it doesnt seem to vibrate or ring. It pops up on the email tab to say its been received but theres no kind of indication. Its sort of like its on silent. Ive checked all my sound settings and notifications, events e.t.c are on but still no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you buy it off of Ebay? They may refund your purchase price.

Did you use Paypal to pay for it? They might help you, too.

Very sad thing, amigo.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jacky83:
Hi,

I've taken the decision and finally moved from Windows Mobile to Andriod by buing a HTC Magic (Vodafone UN - 32B) which is already sim unlocked...

By checking a couple of sites, including HTC, they say that a new rom has released with HTC sense, which i love it and would like to get it on my Magic..

As i've read more, its not possible for the UK yet, so we have to go with the option of upgrading the rom..

What are the 2-3 steps for doing that??(please dont tell me to read another wiki or post, just tell me what do i have to do in plain english to install a new rom(which i have found from this page)

I mean, do u need to hardSPL first, like i used to with wm6.5??and then flash the rom? and if yes, which hardSPL and where to find it..what is the procedure?? even if you cant tell me exactly, just direct me to a post for this..thats says plain the procedure of flashing etc..

Thanks for the help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mo0oSaH:
What you need to do is the following:

1. Install DangerSPL

2. Root the phone (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/)

3. Install a custom recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4029315#post4029315)

4. Find the sense ROM (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448_)

5. Install through the recovery.

on android 1.6 i sign-in on google-apps with my new account,start the market and after the first load of the app i erase the data-account of the googleapps.apk from "setting->applications->application management(?)->googleapps->cancella dati(erase data in english i think?)" and reboot the phone! at reboot re-sign in the googleapp with my old account and work perfectly!

Now the button erase-data in "setting->....googleapps" is not present on android 2.1 then the procedure not possible to do!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] alphadeeto:
Hi guys..

I'm using O2 XDA IIs, and I'm trying to upgrade to WM 6.5.

I've downloaded the ROM and other misc applications to upgrade, and also read the walkthrough in the XDAdevelopers Wiki page. But I find my device have no four colored boot screen but instead an O2 image with some color information as such :

R : 1.02.00
G : 1337.32
B : 1.31.00 WWE

in the bottom right of my screen. I also can't see the four colored screen with options to format storage which is one of the point mentioned in the upgrade section.

That's why I've been hesitating to upgrade it since I have this phone, because I can't follow the upgrade walkthrough completely which might caused my phone to brick.

Anyone can help? :)

Thanks :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
the four colour boot screen is a bug/feature of any cooked rom, meaning any wm5 and higher rom, you can download here. since you are still using the stock rom it is normal to have a carrier's boot screen. it will go away once you upgraded your device.

since the wiki is quite outdated, you should follow the tutorial link in my signature. it will provide you with the newest step by step instructions, that i wrote with a lot of user feedback, to make sure, people would understand it correctly, at some points, the wiki instructions are mistakable.

also, while i really appreciate being cautious (since it is always easier to guide in before, than to repair afterwards), you shouldn't worry about bricking the device. if you follow the tutorial word by word, there should be no risk of failing to upgrade. and even if an upgrade fails, you can always start over again.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
Just read all the tutorial firstto have some sense of it, and the follow it while doingthe upgrade. Make sure that your battery is at least 50% charged and you'll be good to go.

Good luck and if you have questions, please post them in the q&a thread...

:) Good luck
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] alphadeeto:
thanks for the help chef.. :D

I've visited the link on your signature, and it really helps. unfortunately, I'm using Vista in my notebook. since there's no guide for that in your thread, should I just try the steps for Vista user mentioned in the wiki? or should I just find another computer with windows XP on it? I already have the Windows Mobile Device Center installed on my notebook by the way.

also, there are some other things I'd like to know. I've tried putting my device into bootloader mode by pressing power + record button and then reset. but there's nothing changed, just looks like a normal soft reset. is it really supposed to looks like that? or there's something wrong with me or my device?

and when I do the hard reset, just like I've mentioned above, there's no menu appears. is the menu also part of bug in the cooked ROM and not supposed to appear in the carrier's boot screen?

thanks for the answer. :)

yes, I've always searched for more and more informations before doing something this risky. I'll visit the Q&A thread after posting this reply. thanks for the support. :)

btw, sorry if my English is mixed up. it's not my primary language, so please endure with my bad English. :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
for the bootloader mode, you might have to press and hold the power+record button a little longer while resetting and only release them, when the display is grey and shows SERIAL on top and v2.0x (where x is between 5 and 7) at the bottom.

the mentioned hard reset method is also only suitable for windows mobile 5 and higher. for windows mobile 2003 a hard reset is done by simply pressing power+reset (also maybe holding the power button for a second). there is no hard reset necessary before the upgrade, but afterwards, and then, using a higher rom, you will have the 4 coloured screen with the menu. there is really no way to make a dry run on this.

as a first time upgrader it would be much easier for you to use a windows xp machine. it simply works because activesync provides all the necessary drivers, for syncing (of course), and also for flashing, while on vista/7 you have to replace the driver with a custom one depending on your version (x86 or x64). those drivers are not digitally signed, which, especially on x64 machines means more trouble to go through. in d-two's thread, you will find a how-to for vista/7 flashing if you find no other way. i think that is just an option for experienced windows and blueangel users, that are already running a cooked rom and want to change to another one. with a first time upgrade you have so much stuff to read through, so many more steps to actually prepare the device for the first time upgrade... xp would be your better choice.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
There is a set of instructions for Vista in the wiki (the ones you are referring to). They seem to work well afaik, but I agree with Chef... do it from a XP computer to avoid any issues.

Bootloader (the easiest way) is to hold power +record and then put the stylus in the hole. Doing the three of them at the same time might not get you anywhere. For the hard reset (WM5 and up), you can simply use the stylus and as soon as you get the stylus out, hold the two side buttons (camera/WMP and record) and you'll be able to see the options mentioned by Chef.

Good luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] alphadeeto:
thanks for all the help, both of you.. :)

I finally upgraded my BA to WM 6.5, and it turns to be a success. I'm using the steps from wiki to upgrade in vista since it's hard to find someone who's using XP in my neighborhood.

Nothing's wrong until I tried to send SMS messages. I can't either send or receive any SMS's. The messages are delivered to me but it doesn't appear in inbox, only in today screen notification. Fortunately, the other function works really well, the phone, GPRS, bluetooth, ad even the wi-fi.

I'll upload the screenshots later when I'm using my notebook since the internet fee using GPRS in my country is really expensive.

Can I reflash using another ROM? or is there something I can do to fix the problem?

oh, and another thing : my USB active sync can't work. Should I reinstall the WMDC or what? :D

thanks for the support guys. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
Most of those issues sound like issues present in my rom. Is that the one you flashed? If so, it would be wise to flash to something else... I never really got that rom working the way I wanted... Go with 28232 or one of d-two's releases.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] alphadeeto:
excellent! :D

I've flashed with the latest ROM from Sun Dream. and it works superb! :D

there are lots of changes from my previous ROM. the today's screen, start menu, and the buttons position (the start button is on the top of the screen previously, and now it's in the bottom. :D)

well, the only problem I encounter is that I can't sync with WMDC on my Vista. :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] egzthunder1:
You have to use a newer driver which if I am not mistaken comes with WMDC 6.1

A friend of mine is an Android developer and he's making an app to keep track of loans between friends / common expenses.

[Android Software Development] Mookie_Jones:
can someone help to point me into the right direction for a program that i have been trying to plan..

im trying to log into a website, and have found plenty of information to do it, but it seems that once i log into it, i dont get any confirmation.

the second task i want to do is to be able to log into the different aspects of it (search for people) etc, but i dont know what the correct way to do this would be.

my basic idea is to log into a website, and then to find people in my area, and populate them to a list. the second part to that task would be to use the gps or coarse location feature to find out how far we are from each other.

Im not looking for the solution, but more of a point into the right direction for these things. i have googled my heart out but have come up with nothing that is helpful or really point me in the right direction. maybe im just using the wrong keywords?

Hi there,

I am selling the original SE pouch for X10. E-shop where I bought my X10 from claimed that pouch is not included, so I ordered one from pdair. If you lost yours, or it wasn't included in the box, this is your chance. It has been used for one month.

I am not sure how much to ak for it, as SE doesn't sell it separately, so I don't know official price. Maybe 10€.

Hi there djet,

many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] djet:
All you need to do is to copy Camera.exe to \Windows folder. You are definitely doing it wrong. Try Resco's Explorer for file management.

Personally? :D The patch and the package are mine. Of course it works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cezzarmicu:
Thanks djet...worked this time (using resco's explorer).

i tried using the native file explorer yesterday which didn't work ;)

EDIT++++

i tried the camera app and it didn't work. says that app may be right protected... i returned the original camera app and i got it to work. do i still have to do something on the replacement camera app before placing it to the windows folder?

thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cezzarmicu:
I am using the old ROM (1.48.707.2) WWE. I'm from the Philippines btw.

I'm sorry I forgot the exact message but it did say something like either the phone having not enough memory space (but I still have 78MBfree space) or installing a right-protected (certificate) file?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] djet:
The patch is intended for 1.66+ Camera. Certificate checks must be disabled as the patched exe isn't properly signed.

Yes, I've done it. If you have already run the install for copilot, there is a folder on the card : - Copilot\SAVE on the original card which needs to be updated on your new card. Once I'd done that, it ran fine.

Unless the garmin software has been changed to check, prior starting, for the microsd's size, or S/N or whatever, in order to forbid duplication on other media, the process of moving data and apps from a card to another is simply mirroring its contents on the new card, everything will work.

Hello,

I have a vodafone htc magic 32A with 1.6 on it. I wanted to try multi-touch so I followed the following steps:

Copied on sd card the following files:

- flashrec.apk

- recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img

- update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip

- Vanilla-3.05.401.3-signed.zip

On my computer:

- Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img

- hboot-1.76.2007.img

- recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img

1. Installed flashrec.apk

- backup recovery image

- sdcard\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img and flash custom recovery image

2. shutdown; Power + Home

- backup/restore - nandbackup

- flash zip from sdcard - update.HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip

3. shutdown Volum Down + Power (SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-OFF H and HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000) )

- entered these commands:

fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_6.35.10.18.img

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. reboot in recovery mode and flash zip from card Vanilla-3.05.401.3-signed.zip

All this work as advertised. But I don't like this ROM and I would like to try Cyanogenmod.

I followed the steps from cyanogenmod's wiki with no luck.

- I switched to recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img, but the phone keeps rebooting. After 4 or 5 retries I managed to enter into recovery mode and did the steps in wiki. All seemed fine, but after a restart the phone kept rebooting.

- I switched to recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img. The phone does not reboot, all seem to install well, but after the restart the phone gets stuck with the vodafone logo. I waited about 20 min and no luck.

Can you tell me what i did wrong?

Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mo0oSaH:
You are very close, can you still get into recovery by pressing Home and Power? If so, download the CyanogenMOD port to 32A. Make sure it is 32A version! and just put it on your SD card and just flash and reboot. Give it some time during the first boot to set everything up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sherbban:
Ok,

Currently I returned to 1.5 + sense ui by redoing:

3. shutdown Volum Down + Power (SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-OFF H and HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000) )

- entered these commands:

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.76.2007.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. reboot in recovery mode and flash zip from card Vanilla-3.05.401.3-signed.zip

If I understood well, all I have to do is:

Enter fastboot mode and:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2.img

Enter in recovery mode and just Apply Zip: update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip
