You don't need any scripts, just a system and data to flash.

fastboot flash data.img

fastboot flash system.img

You wont find these images inside the update.zip, the sys/data-imgs need to be created from the sys/data folders. Best bet is to ask someone to perform a nandroid backup, backup the imgs, wipe, flash cyan, send you those imgs, restore their old imgs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] osaatcioglu:
Thank you. But, the someone's device should be identical to magic, right? I have dream also. So, I can use the nandroid backups of it. However; I don't think this would be possible. what do you think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
I'm really not sure, but I think the device would need to have the same size data and system partitions as the Magic, which the Dream doesn't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] quinnlewis10:
Use mkyaffs2 to make the System and Data .img Files

What operating system do you have because if you have linux or a linux virtual machine you could extract the update zip and use the mkyaffs2 utility code.google.com/p/yaffs2utils/ to make the system and data images.

There is also a much easier program called yaffey http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645412 but it is windows only

So this thread is kind of old, but I stumbled upon it looking for stuff.

Im using a google galaxy nexus and have a strange issue where I cant connect it via usb when in a different state than fastboot mode. I replaced the usb port (flex cable) already, but it doesnt help (if you got any advice on that, please tell me)

What I actually want to say is that I can't install cyanogen from recovery because I can't connect my phone when in recovery, but I can flash firmware normally via bootloader, I tried that already, so how exactly do I get the images for cyanogen? Because I don't fully grasp it yet.

my s200 system always stop when I browse the photos, especially if there are more than 100 photos in the folder, everytime I have to reboot the system.

Can anyone help?
[neoTouch S200 General] Wolkenkratzer:
Try to use other photo browsing software, maybe this will help.

I tried few different photo viewer, the viewer come with windows mobile, resco photo manager, they have the same problem, it seems the problem from the file system.

Try to scan ur sd card on your computer i.e chkdsk X: /f (where X is your sd card drive letter) it may help.

In an effort to improve internet streaming i have read there is a number of APN settings which can be configured to ensure you get a good 3G connection.

Could someone please confirm this and if it is true do you have the settings needed please?

Hi all, (first time posting)

I am trying to root my HTC Magic but so far nothing has succeded.

What I want:

I want +1.6 firmware and to be able to use 2.x OS with the newest apps in Android Marked. So far there is alot of apps not present when using firmware 1.5.

What I have tried:

I have created a "Goldcard" successfully but when Iam trying to update with the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg (renamed to SappIMG.zip) it says "Main version is older" - update failed.

In Recovery Mode it wont continue, it just stock with the !(picture), i cant seem to get any menu up to flash and choose any recovery files.

Ive tried to downgrade:

from RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_NoDriver

to RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver

I have used the all the guides I could fine to create Goldcards, recovery images. Using fastboot commands to flash from windows etc etc. Everytime I use fastboot write commands I keept saying fastboot failed, remote: not allow

Some of the guides I have used:

Hi guy,

If you are running RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.3_release_signed_ NoDriver, you can do some step to root your phone.

You can continue step 4 in this guide: http://rootyourmagic32a.blogspot.com/2010/04/root-htc-magic.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bleedingblue:
I think, if it says "Main version is older", that you have not successfully created your goldcard. This happened to me when I rooted. I made two mistakes, which I can share.

1) Some SD cards cannot be edited to make goldcards. I had a sandisk, that I thought was making a goldcard, but it was not. However, when I used the same procedure on a kingston 2 gig, it worked perfectly.

2) The SD card that will become your goldcard must be in the phone when you type the "cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid" command. Otherwise, you will not make the correct goldcard.

I hope my mistakes can help you.

-bb
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] norootforyou:
I also have this error.

* Phone details is exactly the same.

* GoldCard seems to be fine (is there a way to check it?) I bought a brand new 2GB Kingston.

* Fastboot gives the error failed, remote: not allow

* flash_image recovery recovery.img gives the error error opening recovery.img, no such file or directory

* When I reboot with adb shell reboot recovery I get to FASTBOOT USB in red and HTC Magic in white on a black screen. I guess this means I haven't gotten the recovery image installed.

* If I run ROM Manager from ClockworkMod I no longer get the Can only be run as root, but I get an error running privileged commands ?

* If I try Flashrec I can download the recovery image, but nothing else will happen. It will not backup anything or run anything I put in there.

* It doesn't matter if I enter anything in cmd in windows 7 or if I run it in an emulator window in the cell phone itself.

So where I stop is I seem to not get the recovery image started.

Any help? I'm all out of ideas!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If your getting Main Version is older, then your goldcard is hosed. The purpose of the goldcard is to bypass the version check. Format your goldcard to FAT32 and do not do a quick format (if you do it from Windows) and start over. This guide worked like a charm for me.

Hi all,

this my first time writing on the xda forums though I visit it often. I came across a chunghwa Taiwan ROM for the HTC hero. My question is can this be used in Singapore. I am a HTC hero user in Singapore. Or should I wait for the OTA update to be launched locally.

Thx to all in advance.

Well, thanks for that help. But, I currently do not want to root my hero coz its still under warranty ( may sound lame sorry). I am taling about an official ROM that I found on the xda forums. The prob is that its for taiwan and i do not know if it is safe for me to do here in Singapore. Will cause any compatibility issue.

Ps: I am planning to root in november wen my warranty ends.

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
If you ever wish to root, DO NOT INSTALL THE TAIWAN UPDATE.

DO NOT INSTALL ANY 2.1 OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM HTC

[/shout]

Basically, if you do, your plans for rooting in November will be spoiled, as once you install it, you can't root :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.japonica:
im from singapore too... trust me just root it... wasting time for waiting officially update in sg is hell zzz... i usually using this 2 rom i most prefer is sense hero *speed, stable & theme* by stickman or villainrom *speed, stable & OTA* from team villain. this 2 is most best recommanded foc rom. as for register memeber for modaco rom *speed+, stable+ & support* using online kitchen also would be prefer. ( i no $$ to register T.T ) <<my personal opinion>>
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoworld123:
Does that mean that I can no longer root my phone if i get 2.1? Is there like any security patch that comes together 2.1? Thanks for the info guys. I guess I will just root it. but Is there any issues related to privacy or security risks related to rooted ROMs?

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcduck1:
You can make a goldcard for your phone, then root it. That way you can revert it to its original state for any warranty repairs.

Also, atleast here in norway, if there is a hardware warranty issue they have to fix it, even if its rooted, provided its not a direct result of rooting (Battery drain / overclocking).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoworld123:
Hi guys,

ao which rooted ROM do u guys think is the best for My HTC hero. Will there be any privacy or security related lapses in rooted ROMs? I have heard of VIllainRom. Is that the best possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Well, I can't exactly say I'm impartial, but if you are after live help etc. then villainRom may suit you with the irc channel. As for security, I am just as confident with it as I am with HTC stock ROM. I use it myself, as do many thousands of people.

If you are after villain, you can find most stuff either here or at www.villainrom.co.uk

But half the fun is to play with different ROMs and pick what suits you :-)

Nandroid and enjoy :-)
[HD2 General] amurch:
I have searched the web and see that TMOUS has been upgrading its 3g network with HSDPA but is there any word that they will increase the size / range of its high speed data network?

I live in Georgia and just happen to be in an ATT dead zone so I switched to TMO but only have edge in 30680 Winder, GA
[HD2 General] Mooncalled:
3G coverage

Call customer support. The support folks I always talk to about service/coverage have always been dead on when it comes to coverage issues. I've been told with point blank honesty what kind of time table I could expect with coverage in my area. When I first moved to Nipomo, I had a dead spot on the main freeway. It was about a two mile stretch. Once I explained where it was and what I was experiencing, support told me it would take 60-90 days for them to get a fix from the engineering department. Sure enough, that dead spot is no longer there. The signal is crappy, but I can make and receive calls there. I don't have 3G in my town. I asked about that and they said it will not happen within the next year. No hedging or not sures. Just "it's not going to happen within the next year." and I'm cool with that. I like the honesty and customer service.

Where I work, it's a complete void. The "coverage" map states "two bars", but it actually non existent. I was told 90-120 days for the fix to be done. So, we'll see. Still got 30 days or so before I hit the window.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
I looked up your zip code on the t-mobile coverage tool. Your right past the 3g coverage! Normally i would say don't expect miracles but your close enough where i think they might eventually. Worse case, depending on the phone you have, try using its wifi at home or something. (Yeah, i know. not the same)
[HD2 General] riyazhyder:
Hi,

Got myself a HD2 from UK :).. love the phone it's a gr8 device. but I am having some issues with the battery drain though, full charge hardly lasts a day :mad: (I use push mail, wifi and nealry an hour of calls a day).

is it a problom with the Radio, can someone tell me the ROM & Radio versions in the india devices. I've found 2.07.50.27_2 to be slightly better (i've tried 2.10.50.19_2, 2.09.50.29_2 & 2.07.50.27_2) but I'd love if I could get through the day with nearly 30-40% left :o

I am on airtel in bangalore.

The other doubt is wheter i could flash the TMOUS offical rom on my HSPL2 HD2? can some one help me with the link on how to do so (did try google but I did not get usable links) Thanks in adavnce. good day
[HD2 General] BumAround:
First, what is your expectation for the battery performance?
[HD2 General] naeem151287:
I use the 2.11 radio and get only a day's usage with Airtel EDGE always on, an hour of WiFi, weather updates every hour, mail updates every 2 hours and a few calls and a lots of texts. I found the 2.10 and 2.11 radio identical in terms of battery usage.
[HD2 General] riyazhyder:
All I need!

Hi naeem,

Thanx.. this is exacty my issue :confused:. My usage is very similar to your's, except for the pushmail..

As in my reply to naeem for my usage, I am always on EDGE, an hour of wifi, weather/ facebook updates every hour, 5 sms a day and and an hour of calls. i'd love to have my phone battery last 48 hours!:rolleyes:

with an hour of music/ video one and half days would also be welcome..
[HD2 General] naeem151287:
48 hours is a stretch. With our usage the battery won't last more than a day and a half. You can set lower the backlight settings to improve the battery a little, but otherwise there is nothing. Big screen and small battery aren't the best combo :)
[HD2 General] Athar Mansoor:
I second that..

But i did find the 2.11 better in terms of reception..

The battery in both cases last through the day.

Mails, weather, stocks, twitter ever 30 mintues.

Facebook every 2 hours.

Palringo IM constant logon..

+ numerous calls and messages

with the above usage the battery last 1.5 days..

PS. Am using the 1.66 Offical rom on 2.08HSPL2 & 2.11 radio
[HD2 General] riyazhyder:
What abt the TMOUS ROM

Thanks guys.. meanwhile could you tell me if I could flash a TMOUS ROM on my HD2.. if yes is how could do that.. Good day

Popping and cracking sound

Hi Guys, I'm in India too & on the Airtel Network in Bangalore. I get a popping and cracking sound when making & receiving calls. This is evident only for high frequency & high pitched voices. Anyone else has the same problem ? I am most certain that it is a radio & ROM firmware issue as the speaker & earpiece itself is fine when listening to music etc.

I'm currently on ROM 1.66.707.1 & Radio 2.06.51.07. I got the phone from Singapore. Which ROM / radio would you recommend to solve this issue ?

[G1 General] wcdisciple:
You really should have let someone else say it. Now you are what you didn't want to be. :eek:

have a nice day :mad:
[G1 General] Binary100100:
It was moved by a moderator because it should have never been placed in Development. General or Apps would be most appropriate. Of course there are always better ways of pointing it out though and there really is no reason to be at each other for it. The post was moved and that's that.
[G1 General] wcdisciple:
Being that you decided to quote me....

My thing is this, i don't care what section the topic is in. I don't care if it's moved or not. I don't care who moves it or who leaves it where it is. I could care less.

Personally, i surf the forums to see if i can obtain any info that is useful and if i can assisst anyone that may need help etc. That's it point blank period.

And in my opinion it's unneccessary for those that aren't mods to constantly go through endless posts pointing out what belongs where. People don't get on here to be told by faceless keyboard killers what to do.

Also to clarify something, I wasn't getting at him/her. I would've taken things in a totally different direction.

Quick question...why can't the mods just simply tell all those that are looking for moderator jobs, by way of being bossy and trying to clown others on here, that they know what their jobs are and leave it to them to do their job? That would eliminate some animosity. But that's just a thought.

I don't need to hear back from you either. Just voicing my opinion and thoughts just as you did.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
My apologizes. I didn't intend on singling anyone out. You were just the last comment. And I personally think that it's fine for members to point out that a post is in the wrong section as long as it is done politely. Unfortunately this isn't always the case. Especially amongst the Senior Members because they have seen it repeatedly for months or even years. And no matter how many times they point out that a post is in the wrong thread there will always be more. So it becomes frustrating to them. I can say this because I can relate because I have been guilty of it myself in the past. It all comes down to the basic rule of being respectful toward others.

And to answer your question regarding the wannabe mods. All mods started off as regular members. The more serious of a member you are the more likely it is that you would be an ideal candidate for being a moderator. I just received my duties and in fact I have to admit, it's been tough. It's not as easy as you think reading threads that you have no interest in, cleaning, merging, deleting, censoring, etc. And with a new structure being laid out effective very recently moderators such as myself are being assigned for specific forums so that the members will have a few common moderators to turn to instead of a different and random moderator each time. This should make everyone's job easier and hopefully calm things down a bit. But none of that is an excuse for wannabe moderators that want to treat other members with disrespect. If they really want to be moderators then that will come back and bite them later since they are breaking one of the basic rules themselves.

Bottom line, if anyone has a problem with a post being in the wrong thread then they can kindly remind the OP that it is in an inappropriate thread and identify the appropriate one for them along with educating them with the reason why. The post should also be reported so that it can be moved before the thread gets out of hand with flammers and rude comments. We also don't need five people reminding the OP that the they posted it in the wrong thread either. Once the thread is posted the OP cannot do anything about it besides request it to be moved. Reminding the OP several times isn't going to change anything except for making the thread more hostile and nobody wants that.
[G1 General] wcdisciple:
Hey, no need to apologize. I didn't and don't feel disrespected in the least. I don't take anything on the internet pesonal. Itz not my style. If a person isn't in throat strangling distance I don't take **** personal. And that's not a jab at you. Itz just the way it is.

I didn't want to quote your whole post, but suffice it to say, you made your point. And not that you're looking for or need my "seal of approval" but, you're alright in my book. Peace.

[G1 Apps and Games] aalopez10:
Ok so i been looking around a way to watch the world cup on my tmobile cliq for a while. and i came across with a way to watch it on my phone (WHICH DOESNT REQUIRED TO HAVE FLASH)

SO THIS SHOULD WORK WITH ANY ANDROID PHONE THAT DOESNT HAVE FLASH.

THE ONLY ONE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WEBSITE THAT STREAMING THE GAME ONLINE IS ONLY IN SPANISH****Srry but theres no other place that i have try that would work on the phone without flash.

for the best performance please connect your phone on the best data connection...which is (3G) so the stream will go smoothly without any stops.

ok now just follow the steps below AND ENJOY :)

Step #1

Download Skyfire on the android market. (Or with the Apk Link below)

http://www.4shared.com/file/l_uViP5n/comskyfirebrowserv201.htm

Step #2

After Downloading Skyfire Open the app and just follow the steps it requires when you first open Skyfire, Ok after evrything is loaded type in your address bar on top with the following link futbol.univision.com/fifacopamundial/partidos-en-vivo

(MAKE SURE YOU TYPE IT RIGHT OR IT WONT WORK)

Step #3

after the page is loaded you should see a pop out in your left corner of a video just as the picture below

CLICK ON THE VIDEO AND LET IT LOAD....IS SHOULD TAKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS TO LOAD BASED ON YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION...SO IF UR NOT CONNECT ON 3G IS GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO LOAD.

*******AFTER THAT THE VIDEO SHOULD LOAD PERFECTLY AND ENJOY ....

***EVEN THOUGH IS IN SPANISH, U GET TO WATCH IT LIVE :)****
