Guys

I don't get this at all, can anyone please help out?

I have a Nexus One. Have been running Cyanogen since purchase, upgraded to 5.0.6-N1 few weeks ago. Obviously, root access and all that. Just a few days ago, I backed up the device with nandroid and flashed it with a Enoc theme. That also went well, but I suddenly noticed apparent lack of root access. Apps that require it wouldn't work (like QuickBoot, MarketEnabler). So I wiped the device and flashed with a clean 5.0.6-N1 and restored the backup prior to theme update, but now I cant get the root access back no matter which backup I restore (even older ones).

Any clues on what might have caused it? I cant think of any indications that the theme update might have anything to do with it, but that is pretty much only update I've done to the phone.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blaboy51:
what recovery image do you have?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] danijels:
Hey, thanks for the reply. I don't have any recovery image.

I just tried booting in recovery mode, wiping the phone and then flashing with the Cyanogen 5.0.6. That should get me a fresh install on which I then apply a nandroid restore of the OS prior to the theme update I mentioned above.

Besides, I see that applying the recovery image via terminal starts with 'su' command. That one gives me 'permission denied' after my problem occured. Its almost as if my phone wasn't rooted at all, which it definetly is.
[Windows Mobile] stronkyz:
hi guys

i have a problem during the align screen

when i start to align the screen, it become white but the alignment continue

how i can fix this issue?
[Windows Mobile] saurabh88:
why r u bothering??

i have also that issue but not at all..

plz focus moer on the rom not that small things..

people even dont care about this small things....
[Windows Mobile] stronkyz:
ok but if there is a fix it's better :D
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
I also have this problem with 23569 (not 23563 or 21903). Does anyone know of a solution?
[Windows Mobile] miky6682:
try to check services at startup, also this iussues could appears when you edit txt files for customization they should be saved, if I am not wrong, in utf not ANSI.

Also if you included run_cc in your rom this iussues could happen because of runcc starts customization at same time of welcome.exe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celemew2:
This guide was taken from AndroidCentral and I thought I would share it here because it's taken me 4 hours this morning to figure out why I was having so many problems trying to flash a recovery image when I know my phone was rooted and flashed in order to get 2.1 a month or so ago. I have been searching these forums and google and hope anyone else who has my issue finds this post.

1. Make sure you have the Android SDK installed.

2. Download flash_image.zip

3. Download recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

4. Unzip the first file, and place both in your Android SDK/tools folder.

5. Make sure USB debugging is ON

6. Connect your phone to the PC

7. Open the command window and navigate to the Android-sdk/tools folder on your computer.

8. At the prompt enter the following, one line at a time followed by enter

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
reboot

9. Your phone will reboot. When it is finished, back at your command window, once again enter

adb shell
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
reboot recovery

10. With any luck, you'll have the recovery image back and can load custom 2.1 based ROMS again.

Hope this helps. All credit goes to gbhil at Android Central.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mr. Biggz:
You might want to change the title of the post. People might get confused thinking you found a way to downgrade the hboot and not how to flash the recovery image.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
Can't get it to work.

I ran the RUU earlier.

Tried to root the old way.......didn't work.

Just tried this to get the recovery image back.

At the SU command it says: permission denied

Thanks,

Bubba.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
This won't work for the leak that was put out today. You lost root. :( This process requires root.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] navalynt:
If you used the new RUU that was leaked today you're screwed. The older 2.1 leaks were test ROMs that were already rooted so you could use the instructions above to flash the RECOVERY. Notice recovery in bold, not bootloader. Once hboot is updated there is no known way to downgrade so you could use an older RUU file.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
This rom has no root. There is NO WAY to re-root after flashing the newest RUU. I'm sorry to say... you're ****ed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
So they can't run an older ruu with 1.5?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] regaw_leinad:
To clear that up, if you run the RUU you have no root. If you extract the ROM, set it up, and flash it, you will preserve root, just like damageless made for all of us. But, yeah, you are not gonna be able to get back from this one. at least until someone figures it out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celemew2:
I changed the thread title to hopefully alleviate some confusion. I didn't realize there was a newer RUU released.

I flashed the Damageless Rom and it's running smoothly so far, but I'm still trying to figure out why wifi tethering isn't working out for me. :-(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Did you get wifi tether version 1_60? That's the only version that ever worked for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] celemew2:
Yeah, I have 1.60 installed on my phone right now, but when I try to start tethering, a SU Request black screen comes up and nothing happens until I get an error, "Activity SU Request (in application Superuser Permissions) is not responding."

I'm sure there's an answer somewhere, but lately I haven't been having luck searching for it.

Edit:

Thank you 98classic! All I had to do was enable USB Debugging. (I had it turned off cause I didn't like the warning up top when my phone was plugged into the computer)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljubishata:
"flash_image not found" what the f**k
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zimlokks:
need the binary? physically check its there with a root explorer :)

Sent from my broken Typewriter!!! O.o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zimlokks:
or do this download and set up the android SDK it itself includes the flash_image binary. after that u will need to open a command prompt on your computer u will have to change directory to platform tools

cd /path/to/platform-tools

after that u will get the chance to do

flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery.img

that will flash the recovery :P

now reboot into recovery :)

I don't know what happen to my desire, the mobile internet just did not work!

Wifi is still functioning.

But when I clicked the mobile internet check box, it keeped showing turning on, but could not link to the 3g network.

Could anyone give me any suggestion? Thx!
[Desire General] Bilbo Fraggins:
I assume you're on Orange UK??

They got problems
[Desire General] jamesnl:
I use Vodafone NL.

Actually the 3G worked pretty good until today. So I assume this might be some hardware problem. Can anyone help me or I need to bring it back to HTC?
[Desire General] cgrec92:
you can try resetting the apn settings

settings -> wireless and networks ->mobile networks -> apn

click menu and select to reset it

if that doesnt work open up the phone dialer

enter *#*#4636#*#*

turn the radio off

wait 20 seconds

turn the radio on again

post back
[Desire General] Bilbo Fraggins:
Oops, apologies.

"He assumes too much!" (or something :P )
[Desire General] pickie:
yep im orange too and mobile internet has be totaly pants :(
[Desire General] jamesnl:
The problem is solved when I reset the APN setting!

Thanks a lot!

Apologizing for my "assuming!.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
When this happens to me I find going to flight mode then back usually fixes it. Sometimes have to reset the phone though.

Hi Bilbo Fraggins - I'm on Orange UK and I've noticed the response and service on my Desire has slowed down over the last week or so. It was perfect up to then for the first month. I'm also having issues with mail synchronisation through Exchange Active Sync but thats another topic.

Whats the problem with Orange? IS it a temproary thing? I was thinkingof calling them but thought it was probably just my device. Cheers.
[Desire General] Bilbo Fraggins:
I've had no mobile data at all since Wednesday night.

My last call to them was yesterday and they said their GPRS network was down or something but should be back within a couple of days.....
[Desire General] Bilbo Fraggins:
Having said that ....

I just reset my apn as above and I'm back in business :)

Thanks for the tip, seems it wasn't Orange, despite them saying it was ....
[Desire General] bedeabc:
I've had my Desire for nearly a month now and the internet has been consistently inconsistent the entire time.

I'm on Orange UK... is it likely to be my network or my device? I can usually depend on GPRS but 3G/HSDPA are flaky at best with the standard rom and no changes to stock settings even though I'm in central Manchester.
[Desire General] canonyau:
I had a similar experience and I am also on Orange UK. My connection kept dropping and I even had problems getting a normal phone signal. I ended up hard resetting my phone and its working great again. No problems all day. It was easy to do too. I think it must've been a program I installed.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo.Collin:
I recently bought a Nexus One and have been in love with it from day one - Its been 3 weeks and am still exploring the android and the phone.... I had couple of questions on the maps...

1) Is there a way to cache maps of particular region so that we don't need a data connection while using navigation?

2) Is there any way to make the maps app act like the regular GPS devices - i mean the arrow to always remain straight and the maps to turn instead of the arrow moving and map staying put..... I hope all understand what I mean...

~

Awaiting FROYO :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
1. Google maps supposedly caches the route you set. True offline navigation support is apparently in the works.

2. Use the Car Home app/Navigation app (Maps 4.2) to start navigation.

Alternatively, you could try true offline navigation apps like Copilot (paid) or AndNav2 (free)...

Take a look here for a detailed explanation of what this file is, and what we need to do to work with it.

** MOD EDIT **

This is obviously big news. Keep in mind this "ROM" is NOT flashable to any of the current devices we know of. NONE. You also can't dump this with the current tools we have at our disposal so, NO, we can not make WP7 ROMs based on this. Some great minds are already working on decrypting the format of this ROM and I'm sure information to that effect will be posted in the thread when that happens.

Until then, please refrain from asking if this is compatible with your phone (it's not!) or when it's going to be ported to "X" device. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Da_G:
Hey guys :)

This .nbh is unsigned, previous HTC NBH images were all signed. I made a new version of NBHImageTool to work with a WP7 unsigned .nbh, it will dump and rebuild.

Here's a mirror of the original posted NBH:

http://hotfile.com/dl/42956359/b56d7b8/mondimg_WP7.nbh.html

Here's the .nbh dump:

http://hotfile.com/dl/42937584/47038a1/Mondimg_WP7.rar.html

New! 5/18 Here is a link to all the raw partition data found inside the flash.store.bin (os.nb) - Note that I do not yet fully know the FAT, so the partitions marked UnknownData are more than likely part of the partition immediately following. Once I fully understand the FAT I will update with a proper list of partitions.

http://hotfile.com/dl/43557999/23bc8cb/Mondrian-raw-parts-and-dump.rar.html

Here's the dump of IMGFS, which contains most of the desirable data: (great thanks to l2tp with his help deciphering D000FF)

http://hotfile.com/dl/43241102/b6e5585/Mondrian_WP7_IMGFS_DUMP.rar.html

Note that the os.nb inside bears a D000FF header, which is different from a WM 6.x .nb, .nb0, or .bin.. it also has no FlashLayoutSector and IMGFS is compressed with XPH. So more than likely none of the existing tools will work to dump that yet. Now that i'm done with updating NBHImageTool i'll look more closely :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vladimir2989:
ok... game is on.. now, where are all the super cooks to port it on HD2 ? :)

Hello Bigboss

can u clarify more,is this the rom wm7 or wp7? Cingular don't exist I guess, so was this for an old unreleased HTC device? Just a guess, but pls throw some more light on that :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Da_G:
Here's a mirror of the originally posted file:

http://hotfile.com/dl/42956359/b56d7b8/mondimg_WP7.nbh.html

Regarding Cingular, HTC often refers to AT&T as Cingular internally, even on WM6.5 devices. So that's not toooooo strange. :)

The build here is 6167 so this is not an old WM7 ROM. Again, HTC may be referring to WP7 as WM7 internally, sometimes MSFT calls it that internally as well :)

I will make a try...

ah, this is real cooking staff...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ElCondor:
Also my thoughts.

Always when it gets nice, tom's name shows up. He should share more, but lets stay ontopic.

The new HTC device is probably the diamond3 or a new line. After the HD, the next device was the Diamond2, so I think Diamond3 will have this Rom.

Great news, thanks for posting :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] VizagDude:
Cool. So what are the next steps guyz... I have no idea of cooking or porting, but just interested in knowing the process involved on a HIGH LEVEL in Layman language. Just so even ppl like us also understand what kind of time energy and dedication goes into chefs like you who are involved in getting this OS on our respective devices.

Atlease from what I have heard or saw (like in one of the Win Phone ads), the most probable of the existing devices out there for this OS is HD2. Again, I could be totally off with this, but just based on the SnapDragon, Capacitive, RAM and other specs of HD2 makes me think this might be the most compatible device for now.

Of course, the fact that I own one does not mean anything ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] marios96:
Since this is an HTC's ROM, it should have pre installed software, like readers, games etc. Do we have any info on that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mightymn:
That reg entry on the Leo is "ID"="4.3in WVGA Optrex" too. checking some more entries...

OK, I've until now checked these folders and they are exactly the same as the Leo:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Settings\ILCDC]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Settings\ILCDCgordon]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Settings\EBI2]

Of course it doesn't seem like these are important entries

checked [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\GSensor]

other than Prefix=ECS all other entries have different values. And these two don't exist in the Leo:

"SensorEnableMask"=dword:0

"SensorPollingMask"=dword:0

If that "ECS" is the sensor manufacturer, the sensor may be the same as that of Leo

This one is identical too:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\DCompassAPI]

It seems like most entries are the same or simillar and that's expected as it's still Win CE
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Da_G:
Since most of these binaries are compiled for ARMv7, i would be interested if any of the native code would run under CE 5.x/WM 6.x on an ARMv7 capable device (HTC Leo, LG Expo, etc.)

The only device I have (AT&T Tilt 2) can't run ARMv7 code, so that pretty much stops me in my tracks where I am :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TehPenguin:
Actually, they CAN be user removable:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649938

HOWEVER, the device will not function unless the card is inserted.

This means that you CAN REMOVE the card, clone the data onto a larger card, then INSERT THE NEW CARD (You just can't keep switching between two separate cards).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] norgan:
i'll give some a shot also, might even try cook some in lol
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Star-Lite:
I read another article on it and they mentioned that "the will become unusable if certain files got removed from the SD-Card". So it looks like you can indeed not remove the card, but as long as you copy those needed files (I would guess the 'windows' directory) to a new card you can safely remove your pictures etc without bricking your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] norgan:
so if i try to run mptest.exe or pwrlogctrl.exe they just throw an unsigned or components missing exception.

i am going to cook a couple of the modules and see if they compile with thier required libaries.

e.g. calc7.exe with the calc*.dll's, calendar, office, onenote and compass. i'll let you know if i get any results.

are we going to have a problem with this special device specific certificate thing that windows 7 requires? will each app need to be signed by that root cert before they will even run i wonder?

EV Kitchen just skips over them, obviously the modules are not compatible with the kitchens we are using yet. Da_G Is there anything more we can do with these to try to get them running?

i chose the most obvious ones being the exe's with icons, meaning they are recognised as w32 exe's. None of them seems to run. are there any wp7 certs we need to load or anything?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mightymn:
hum... I tried some exes like switchtocdma.exe and switchtogsm.exe

Nothing happens when you click on them. This is the reaction for all exe files I tried. Admittedly, these aren't really good files to try as they rely on drivers.

Unlike 6.X dumps, there aren't many exe files here, like iexplore.exe, etc... and there's no dll file at all! (there are some, but not nearly as much as 6.X ROMs. All exes and dlls are folders in which there's no exe or dll file)

I really don't know what to do with this dump, lol

Is it possible that IMGFS isn't dumped correctly?

Haha, Nice one. Gime a ROM image and I try and sacrifice mine :-D

Yes, AFAIK, there were references to 3 phones in the Software: Kin one, Kin two, and another one. So IMHO, that should be WP7.
