Further thoughts...

Some thoughts on how to proceed forward...

1. jcase, I think we should probably leverage the existing XDA-Wiki that you provided a link to. It's as good a place as any to start.

2. I'd suggest that we, for now, focus on doing the wiki work for Droid Eris in particular. We can use this as a way to figure out how best to capture, arrange, articulate, etc. the types of standardized data (how-tos, specs, ROMs, etc.) The XDA-Wiki for Droid Eris can be found here.

3. Here's some high-level topics. Please keep in mind that these are coming from a real noob, so I'm 100% sure it's not exhaustive nor 100% useful.

Overview - Basic high-level info on Droid Eris and the *recent* changes made to the wiki.

Device Specifications - I think this is covered here but we can add/remove as needed to keep it current.

How-To - Include detailed how-tos for rooting, unrooting, recovery, backup, etc. specific to Droid Eris. As a noob, I would love to see us build this section out with detailed instructions, pics, vidz, etc. to make it as simple for folks as it can be. I also see ECLIPS3's and Jamezelle's Eris Master App as a great tool which would fit into this section.

FAQ - There's already some FAQs for Droid Eris in the sticky on the first post...likely we can take this as is and add more details to it and refresh the data as needed.

ROMs - The ROMs info is spread out quite a bit across many threads/posts. I'd love to see some standardization of data, pics, ROM specific instructions, etc. put into this section. Ultimately I'd love for us to put together a matrix which allows for quick and easy comparison of the ROMs...this would help make ROM selection much simpler and avoid all those repetitive posts about "which ROM should I use?" "which ROM has X?"

Kitchen - ?? I hear this word tossed around and from what I can figure out it has something to do with those elite geeks who actually make those yummy ROMs we love!

Dictionary/Abbreviations - We throw around a lot of terms/abbreviations in this forum and it's hard sometimes to figure out the meanings/context. One place to look them up and get details would be great.

4. As for taking existing data/info from the various posts and copying them to the wiki...I would suggest we either get the "owner" (orig poster/author) of the content to participate and move it for us (and in the process update/clean/revise it as needed). OR as for their permission and copy it for them.

5. Who want's to do what? How is work organized on XDA so we don't step on each others' toes? Do we need an XDA administrator's permission before we start?

6. What else do we need? How else can we develop the Droid Eris Wiki and use it as a model (proof-of-concept) which we can present to XDA-Forums as w whole to adopt?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris General] colinodell:
There's a wiki up at andirc(dot)net. Its in need of content though, so any/all contributions would be awesome!
[Droid Eris General] droid-noob:
Wiki

Thanks for suggesting we update to the wiki you've provided a link to. However, I was more inclined to build off of the XDA Wiki instead. I've not heard from many folks in this thread as to a preference, so I was going to go ahead and build on the XDA Wiki (specifically the Droid Eris section).

I think if we can build out a nice wiki specific to Eris, it could be a proof-of-concept to entice others to join in (Eris as well as other devices) and make XDA the first and last stop for all Android rooting/modding/hacking/breaking/fixing/improving/ranting/hoping/*****ing/etc.
[Droid Eris General] JokerSP3:
I think this is a great idea. I also am pretty new to this community but would love to contribute in any way that I can.

Would be pretty cool to have a theming section all about what images do what and where they are.
[Droid Eris General] droid-noob:
Started collecting bits...

JokerSP3, glad to use all the help we can get. As a noob, I've been trying to build out the Eris wiki with little bits as I learn it. So if you'd like to help, just start adding info as you come across it to start filling in the blanks. :-)

[Droid Eris General] Sheen160:
Is there a way to zipalign apps after you have installed the ROM? I found one but it won't work because either A. its for g1 only or B. I'm doing it wrong. Either way, could someone lemme know if there is a way and or how? I did it with a rom I flashed last night and I had a lot more free RAM. Pretty sure it was because of zipalign since it had everything else set up the same as the rom i have now.
[Droid Eris General] bugger561:
You can turn ZipAlign on and off using these commands a2sd zipalign / a2sd nozipalign

a2sd align

for all your other a2sd command type a2sd help while in the bin dir and the dev included lots of tools and options. Hope this helps.

yes it doesn't work as good as if you do registry tweaks yourself. SE should put a input/option to choose which program that will be associated with accelerometer. I can't find uninstall for it, but I guess I will take the good side of it; to use it as a on/off switch for accelerometer.;)

Why is my Phone always rebooting when I plug in a USB cable? The bug is only on CM 5.0.7 or Roms with this base Rom.

Please help me

Why shouldn´t I use a modified Kernel?

Actually I have had a couple of reboots on the CM5 based ROM's that are heavily themed like Cannon and E-Xtreme.

Didn't know why it was happening tried everything actually.

I ended up going to back to CM5 stable and just flashing everything myself. :)

problem installing update

I went to the website, downloaded the update and followed the on screen instructions. it said it would update the image from 1.10.161.1 to 32.2803.05.06 in doing so, the coloured bars came up on the phone, then the black htc screen with the installation bar. it got to 5% both on the phone and my pc, then read this error: ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID I tried all the update files from ur website Europe 1 and 2, US, and even Asia 1 and 2 with no luck on any of them.

I have a htc hd mini unlocked from vodafone and using an o2 simcard. Any ideas why it wont install, or how i can fix this problem?

hi all. My Hd mini still having some problem with the ringtone.

When somebody is calling me, the ringtone is turning down the volume after few seconds (like underwater, muffled). I switched off a function "Quiet ring on pickup" but it doesn´t help. What is interesting, this problem is not doing every time. Sometimes not. But usually yes. I did a Hard reset, too, but it persists.

anyone got solution for this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jpchaput:
I think I made a stupid mistake...

I went to consult this thread (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600340), just being curious you know, and when I saw the Windows 7 style Boot Logo, I downloaded and installed it.

The problem : The cab was made for the HTC Prophet... and now my Kaiser doesn't get past the ROM's 1st boot image and reboots before dsiplaying the radio version #.

Is my phone bricked?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
if it was a cab file that you applied by running from within the phone via file explorer, then it is highly unlikely that your phone is bricked. however, if it won't boot, kiss your data goodbye and give the phone a hard reset. that should fix it but you'll have to set up all your programs and restore your contacts and messages from backups (assuming you follow the practice of making regular backups of critical data).

if you applied something by "flashing" it to your device (usually using a special procedure that may involve your pc), then you may have truly bricked your device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jpchaput:
Thanks ASCIIker.

I tried doing a hard reset. It now goes so far as displaying the version numbers but stills reboots in a loop right after.

Any other ideas?

I guess if I can't boot that means I can't reflash either.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] faria:
can you enter boot loader mode? simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.

if you can then flash your carrier latest rom .
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
just to clarify, you can flash as long as you can enter boot loader.

and just to correct what faria said, the correct way to enter boot loader is to hold down the CAMERA button while doing soft reset...keep the camera button pressed until you see a screen with red, green, blue, and white stripes. this is the boot loader screen.

once here, you can flash any ROM, etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jpchaput:
Thanks faria. I had fun pressing Power, OK and trying to do a hard reset. Kinda like playing Kaiser Twister!

Power and Camera did work though. I think that's what you do when you flash from the microSD right?

I'm telling you guys I am so f'in relieved right now as I'm loading my latest factory ROM from archives. So thanks again to both of you.

Back from the dead and to trying out ROMs in a bit then. How's KaiserTouch compared to HyperDragon IV? And is Rhodium 6.5 or less?

Actually happy 1st day rodhium faria v1. It looks well worth giving it a shot!

as for my rhodium rom, im trying to fix an undocumented feature that cropped up:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technogecko6:
Hey guys,

I have a Nexus One that I have rooted and put a number of different roms on. Of course this somehow makes my friends think I'm some pro at android roms and such.

A friend of mine, who apparently either misread instructions or just fouled it up, gave me a HTC Magic / MT3G to look at to see if I could get it working properly again. Here is the situation:

T-Mobile myTouch 3G (1.2 version)

When attempting to boot, it will land on a "HTC MAGIC" splash screen but not boot into android.

When attempting to go into recovery mode, it doesn't seem to have a custom recovery mode... but here is the info on the Fastboot screen:

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

I was trying to think of how I could investigate more, but aside from going into fastboot and hboot I don't know what to try really... I am used to using a custom recovery or being able to boot into android and use ADB.

What do you guys think? Hopeless? Or perhaps have some ideas of some things I could try to get this thing running?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lonegunman:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=576768 this should help you out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NielDK:
These instructions, mark, is for 32B, looking at the bootloader info our friend posted, seems like his is a 32A. Or perhaps this is the problem?

I believe flashing the wrong ROM would brick the device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technogecko6:
Looks like 32B may be the google dev device, this one is the MT3G (I think 32A?).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lonegunman:
Sorry my bad,but the the basic details are there to help you out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technogecko6:
Tried flashing RA recovery:

fastboot flash recovery ../../recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

sending 'recovery' (4520 KB)... OKAY [ 1.720s]

writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 2.375s]

finished. total time: 4.096s

Rebooted holding down back, but still appears to be regular recovery mode...

EDIT: I wonder... just read this:

"Use the H/G version if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)/Google branded (PVT 32B board)."

This is from T-Mobile, which I guess means Google branded? Thus, it should say 32B in the recovery mode... but says 32A. Maybe I could get a different img onto the micro SD (32B version I guess) and try to hboot?

EDIT 2: Scratch that... looks like it is 32A motherboard... they changed for the 1.2 version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technogecko6:
Tried running the official RUU found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=659403 but I guess that actually requires the device to be booted up fully... not in fastboot lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
your friend installed the wrong radio and fastboot for his device

thats your problem - he is using the hboot and radio for NON - 3.5MM jack versions

those versions use the 2.x radio and spl is different as well... - You should look at threads about that device specifically... your friend obviously does not read and/or search enough and assumes old instructions are good for his device

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622530

edit: and yes - with some simple reading skills I pulled that thread out of the sticky rom bible and deduced how to fix the device

lol - you people need to learn to read more and ESPECIALLY your friend .... half the people with this device rooting it have no idea how to read/search for information
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technogecko6:
HUZZAH!! I managed to find a T-Mobile MT3G 1.2 shipping rom on some post on this forum (sorry for no credit, I've been scouring trying tons of different things... if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please reply for others!). I then had to get that on the microSD to install with hboot... The funny part is I couldn't find a microSD adapter, so I actually mcguyvered the most expensive microSD adapter ever... I used the HD2 I had laying around as the most expensive microSD adapter ever to move the rom onto the MY3G's card, haha.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
you didnt really need to do that - if you just follow the instructions in the rooting guide it tells you how to fastboot the radio and spl you need and then gives further direction...

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nbo

I have just installed Dropbox on both my PCs and on my Desire. This is a great way of synching files between 2 computers without the need for emailing them to yourself or continually copying them between computers.

THe PC version is here:

https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTc1MjQzMTQ5

For the Andriod version search 'Dropbox' in the market.

With Dropbox on your Andriod you can access files from your home PC without having to actually have them installed on your device. Never forget a file again and save valuable space on your SD card!

How did I ever manage without it?!

If you install keepass on your android and pc and save the file to the dropbox folder, you can have a synced pc and phone password app.

The dropbox for android app is a bit useless. It only lets you upload certain file types. I was trying to upload a zip file. Why not just allow any file to be uploaded instead of showing you that silly menu of images, videos, music or text files (which didn't even work)? For the other way round, it is useful yes.

There is a work around (forgot it...) but yeah I agree... though it's only a beta, had to be expected.
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
My thoughts exactly. Sorely requiring updates. Basic rar, pdf, txt and such files don't even upload. Nor did vids with mine, after 2 hours on WiFi, the file size was still 0 KB. There's no obvious way to link to someone over Android for them to download the aud/vid (not stream, which it defaults to). At the moment, I'm only using it to manage already uploaded files from my PC/laptop, and to retrieve them from the phone.
