Am I right in saying that the backups's hashes are salted with the device serial #? If that's the case then decryption should be quite possible.
[Desire General] flyingv:
I have had the exact same problem today. Had to return my Desire as it was faulty for a straight swap (kept the same SIM and SD card). The SD card has restored all contacts and music, but SMS messages have not transferred over. I've looked at every possible option in the settings but can't seem to see how to do this.

I'd be grateful for any advice or info. Thankyou.

slightly old thread, but relevant to my problem....

have been playing around a lot with my desire over the past week, and managed to delete the wrong nandroid backup and lost all my sms. I have a sense auto backup form a day or so earlier, but cannot for the life of me get the phone to read these - there's no option to restore just backup.

So, tried factory reset from recovery, copied the 'old' backup to the sd, and booted. Nothing was restored. Have tried all sorts of combos to try and get the backup to be read, but no joy at all. Even completely wiping everything, flashing the original rom i was using (modaco 3.1) and restarting, but still sense doesnt see the backup.

I definitley remember it doing it once during all the crazy rom swopping of the last few days, and the sms, wifi key etc all restored, but I can't get it to do it again.

Any ideas about 'forcing' the restore? I know that the backup is handset specific (tied to the serial/imei?) but it should restore on any rom using sense yeh?

all help greatly appreciated :)

ta.

another small thought, there may be an app idea in here for anyone thats interested - reading the sense backup and applying it by force? i know quite a few people tend to backup their sd card regularly, so it could be useful as a last resort option.
[Desire General] pascanu:
I guess there's not much I can help you but to avoid this problem in the future you might want to use SMS backup (by Cristoph Studer, there are 2 others on the Market with the same name) - backs up your sms's to your Gmail account, works great. I love the Cloud! :)
[Desire General] spf00:
I have used sms backup in the past, didn't bother this time as i had the nandroid backup. Kicking myself as I'm usually pretty careful about what files i'm getting rid of, and have got all my sms for about the last ten yrs (minus the 2 months i just lost) for blackmail purposes ;) time to crank the delete button paranoia up a notch again :)

edit: solved :) tok everything off the sd card, made sure i had the backup set from the date range i wanted, wiped absolutely everything from recovery, reflashed the rom i was running when the backup was taken & rebooted. the backup was picked up fine, all settings, sms etc back with no problems.

the small trick to getting this to occur seems to be just let the phone sit for a minute when it reboots - i assume that if you go into the setup wizard before the sd card is correctly moutned and read that you bypass the restore. i had done the same procedure to try to get it to restore before and it didn't, the pause to allow the sd card to be read was the only thing i did differently.
[Desire General] Hatticus:
I'm having the same issue, I want to restore a back-up from my SD card, but cannot see any way to do it. I've tried a factory reset, but still no luck.

Can a restore be forced? The 2.2 upgrade seems to have removed Settings>Privacy
[Desire General] Trapamoosch:
Same problem here, Froyo won't restore my backup.

I tried to downgrade to Eclair, but the installation failed with "Error 140: wrong bootloader version".

I guess my backup is pretty useless now...
[Desire General] Blueyed1:
Frojo wont restore settings after hardreset

I asked HTC about this, and here's the answer:

Thanks for your question regarding backup of your device. The former feature backup to SD card is missing in this newer version. This is due to Google, which has developed backup feature in the software, changed the system in 2.2, then back out to their servers instead. This applies to the Google devices, such as NexusOne. When your device is the HTC brand, we have some backup features as before. However, you can take backup in the following way (as with older versions of Android): Contacts: You can save contacts via Outlook when they are created as telephone contacts. For this you need HTC Sync and Outlook on your computer. HTC Sync, see your device's SD card. To open the map, select Mount in the device, your device is displayed on the computer as an external disk drive. Then you find the program through your computer's Windows Explorer, and also integrates it on your computer. You can now sync. You can also download HTC Sync from our website under Support tab. If you use Google contacts they can be retrieved back when you set up your email again. If you have configured an Exchange server, you can also download contacts onto the device again. Calendar appointments: These are transferred in the same manner as contacts. Emails: These can be synchronized over again through your Exchange server, or if you have Google mail. Data files: These can be transmitted via computer Explorer when you select Mount as previously described. You can then transfer your files to a folder on your computer. SMS and MMS: Those you can not backup.

Way to go HTC.... hurray

The more I learn about Google and HTC's way of handling my data I get more determined to Root my phone to get full access of my phone, and to control what data and in what way that data is transferred to either google or HTC.

When you compare to the way Apple is controlling it's sheep herd, Google is not any better when it comes to data gathering and data sniping.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stragulus:
Hi,

My HTC Kaiser has a broken USB connection. It can only charge with it, but ActiveSync / mtty don't work. The computer never even registers the USB device, so I think it's a hardware fault.

I've extensively searched this forum to find a way to update the rom, as it now has an old WM6.0 one. It still works, so I can start SSPL's from it.

It seems that any installation method requires an USB connection or just doesn' work:

* JumpSPL shows the tricolor bootmenu, but waits there indefinitely (I think that waits for an USB connection)

* The regular HardSPL install using ActiveSync obviously doesn't work

* Trying to follow the MicroSD install as described in the "Kaiser intermittently stuck in SPL?" thread. That doesn't work either; the phone just says 'loading' on a white screen. I think that expects something to already be installed on the phone.

* mtty won't connect over USB (as the computer doesn't even list it)

Of course I tried different USB cables, not using USB hubs, another computer, but that doesn't fix it either. I think it's safe to say the usb data connection is simply broken on the phone.

I've also tried downloading the WM6.1 update from my provider, extracted the .nbh file and renamed it to KAISIMG.NBH, but the current SPL refuses to flash it ("not allow"). Don't know why, it's the same provider.

I've also done a hard reset, doesn't solve anything.

Just for the sake of completeness, the various rom versions that are installed:

r 1.27.12.29

g 22.45.88.07h

d 1.81.00.00

Is there any other method I can try? I think I exhausted them all..

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stragulus:
The steps in "Flashing via MicroSD Card using cmonex HardSPL 3.29" are the same as in the thread I mentioned above, and it has the same result also. After the soft-reset, the tricolor bootscreen shortly appears, after which a white screen appears with in blue the text 'loading'. It stalls on that though.

I've tried that with 2 different microSD cards (1GB, 6GB), and formatted them both to FAT32. I copied over the 2 files from the thread above (KAISDIAG.NBH and KAISIMG.NBH).

The tricolor boot screen displays, before going to the white screen:

KAIS130

SPL-1.81.000

CPLD-8

Anything else I can try?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kobi_eidelman:
usb?

maybe the proble, with your device and not in the usb connection. i have this problem myself. the only way to flash for me is via sd card, so it should work.

good luck, anyway
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stragulus:
Did flashing via sd card work for you using the cmonex method? I wonder why it doesn't continue after the loading screen for me. It reads official full roms fine from the sd card, except that it does not allow flashing any of them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
First of all, this does not belong in the rom development section. This post has nothing to do with rom development and only serves to clutter this forum and irritate the people that may be willing to help. It belongs in the general section.

Since you are new, please read the forum rules on posting. It does not appear that you have HardSpl flashed to your, which precludes you from flashing hardspl, custom roms or flashing via the SD card method. If you want to flash, you will need to get your usb port fixed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved as not ROM Development.

The noob guide gives all instructions and states you need usb for first h-spl flash.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stragulus:
Thanks for clearing that up, I'm out of luck then. I now see I overlooked the "FOR UPGRADING HARDSPL ONLY!!" clause on the hardspl installation FAQ.

What a shame, I really wanted to get android working on it, but with the current radio it's a lost cause.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] randomcracker:
Hi, I have the HTC branded HTC Magic with the following specs:

Firmware version:

1.5

Baseband version:

63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Kernel version:

2.6.27-5b476e83

build number:

3.05.401.3

It is HTC branded som the mohterboard is 32A.

Thing is when I first bought it it had normal Android 1.5. Since then I've updated it to 1.5

with sense UI. Now I can't reflash it in any way whatsoever.

I've tried to get into nandroid backup to restore it to how it was before I updated to sense UI

but there is no way. When I boot with Home+Power all I get is Reboot, use update.zip and

wipe/factory reset(then it says E: Cant open cache/recovery/command). Here my

computer won't list it on either adb devices or fastboot devices. Though when I boot it with

volume down+power the computer lists it under fastboot devices but not adb devices. I've

tried, it seems, every way there is, at least everything I could find on the internet. Using

flashrec don't work either, it says fail when I try to backup and the flash button is always

grey no matter what I do, have tried 2 diffrent versions of flashrec. Is there anything I can

do to root it/update to 2.0/2.1?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LordySlo:
i have some bad news for you. though i havent checked the htc site for a while, i can remember that the last update i checked (thankfully didnt work for my phone; gone the root way instead) was the only one with sense... and it also came with perfected SPL, meaning no root acess possible. you need an engineering SPL for that. i dont know if that one has been broken yet, maybe some other member can confirm or deny ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] randomcracker:
I thought it was the donut(1.6) update for the Magic that was supposed to be the one with perfect SPL? Well if that is so it sucks, but still. Why does it display the error on custom boot? Iäm referring to the E: Can't open cache/recovery/command error. I should still be able to make a backup with nandroid right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] webbyfoot:
Looking for a set up whereby I can synchronise a single Word Mobile file (or similar) on my TP2 with one on my PC, so I can edit it on one device, synchronise, then edit the revised version on my other device and visa versa.

I use Fumambol already for contacts, calendar, tasks and Notes but can not use Notes for this as I need some formatting (underline, bold) and in any case I've never discovered how to stop Notes scanning the phone, storage card and connected Networks for associated files before openning - which means it usually never does open before the phone hangs.

I know Funambol will sync 'briefcase' if you set up your own server rather than use theirs - but I want to be able to sync via a 'cloud' so both my devices don't have to be on at the same time.

Has anybody got any suggestions?

Hello,

I'm a last year student engineering, working on my thesis. I wrote an application for my phone (Rhodium, but doesn't really matter) that can connect my phone to the hardware I designed, using an Serial Port Profile (Bluetooth). This works, but the problem is that any baudrate higher than 57600 crashes the application... The Bluetooth module I used on my hardware can be configured for 921K, and I really need that speed! The connection is just toooo slow right now. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is SPP limited to 115200 baud? This seems unlikely, because I can configure the module with speeds that are much higher...

I would really appreciate it if someone can help me!

grtz,

Bert

I believe removing IE worked when cooking for Wizard long time ago, but ROM was unstable (cant blame me here...it was about 3 yrs ago...he he). But I dont think you will have a bootable ROM when cooking for newer devices.
[Windows Mobile] d-two:
The 2 packages:

-browsingie

-browsingie_LANG_0409

is Pie8 and i create very new and Stable roms... (see signatur)

I have cook for my a Rom for HTC Kaiser and works fine :D
[Windows Mobile] JLowe:
@d-two

yes, I can confirm that it works. I had an issue with my primary kitchen (Rom image error while flashing if I didn't cooked these packages).

After using my older backup kitchen it works flawless. BUT: IE still exists... but(2): never mind, because the image its more than 2 MB lighter... now I am with my kitchen at around 102MB including Manila.

Any other hints are welcome!
[Windows Mobile] d-two:
IE is not recommended to completely remove...

You can compress many files with UPX as example the files in the Office folder or in MediaOS the 2 dll files (wma9prodecoder.dll,wmv9decoder.dll) for save space. ;)
[Windows Mobile] Ethermind:
Pocket Outlook as i think necessary to work with contacts and other data base like native engine.
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Guys, browsingie and it's lang can be deleted easily - it's just a new interface of IE. When you delete them - you will just get old IE interface. It's also useful in that case to replace browsres.XX.dll for one from 6.1 to save space.

Pocket Outlook... hmmm... For the record - user interface of Pocket Outlook is application called Contacts. So deleting Pocket Outlook you will delete Contacts. If you don't need them - ok - go ahead :)

One more thing - deleting browsingie you should also delete Widgets - they won't work.

Never try to delete IE by itself - all the GUI things are htm resources inside dlls and muis. Deleting IE you will loose your GUI - it means you will obtain non-bootable rom.

P.S. Actually the topic name sounds .... let's say - rather strange.
[Windows Mobile] JLowe:
Thank you for these really useful hints!!!

I am using a browsres.192.dll from an extracted WM6.1 custom Rom from Onkolog (Blackstone Cooking legend of lean Roms) -> see attachement

Also tried UPX-compression some exe: (Office, Camera,...)

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Skaven83:
Hi,

I have ookba's ROM. I use scandinavian characters, so I need to use the FN key a lot. The secondary character can be accessed by holding the key down for a while, and can be configured 0.5s, 1s, etc. However, 0.5 seconds is too long in my opinion and it seriously slows down typing speed.

Does anyone know if it is somehow possible to edit and shorten the key press-down time, to less than 0.5s?

Thanks!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Skaven83:
Anyone? I am sure there is a way hack the timeout.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] AP756:
Hmm, I'm not really sure I understand your problem. There is no need to set a time. just press function and then the character you want to use (one after another). For switching to your special code page press FN two times (this is like CAPS LOCK). This works for me.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Skaven83:
Hi! Yes I use the FN key most of the time, but sometimes you must operate with just one hand and then it would be convenient to use the "long press" to access numbers and other special characters. It's true you can first press FN -key and then the special character, but this is tedious and takes too long time :)

[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
ok, so i searched the forum and couldn't find what i was looking for; therefore, i decided to make a thread (i apologize if there is such a thread already available)

So, I have the N1 rooted and have CM5.0.7-t1 installed and the Iphone 3GS (my dad's) is on stock (not jailbroken or anything). Both phones are connected to the same network. I used Speedtest app on both phones. I ran the app few times on both phones from the same location (1 floor above the router) right next to each other. Both were connected to the same server location.

The Iphone's speed is ~17000kbs download and ~4500kbs upload. While the N1, from the exact same location, speed is ~9000kbs/~1700kbs. In fact, even when I'm right next to the router and have full bars connecting to wifi, the fastest I can get with the N1 is ~16000kps/~1800kbs.

That's a huge difference and wanted to know why that's happening.

no one else can duplicate this (of course you'd need to have both Iphone and N1)?
