And yes, I am 100% sure that I've connected phone *after* system recovery has started. Any ideas?

Offtopic:

Of course it works on Mac but I didn't have miniUSB to USB cable with me, so had borrow one first :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revoluzifer:
Now this is getting weird.

Did you try the $su one? Even if this shouldn't change anything, I don't know what else you could do.

Just give it a try, i'll think about other possibilities...

EDIT:

Alright... I've got one last idea.

The steps I described in my first post do not exactly match what I did.

I just thought the step which is not mentioned here would not be needed.

So, here's what I did, BEFORE flashing the original recovery:

Download and install Amon Ra Recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561124

I used the first method mentioned (via adb).

And after that try my steps again.

This would be 100% my way.

But I'm really wondering, if changing to another custom recovery before flashing the original one makes the goal.

The only reason I did that was desparation before finding this post with the stock-recovery :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinke:
@Revoluzifer

Yeah already tried with $su before mount, but mount -a produced the same bunch of errors.

I know from my unix background that mount should be used to attach device (ie. cd/dvd). Is it used for memory card in this case? And if so do you think that I should try with some other argument or provide some path?

Btw haven't tried running flash cmd after mount because of errors. Do you think I should try anyway?

Thanks for your effort!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revoluzifer:
I'd recommend trying my new steps first...

Don't know, if some other arguments for the mount could be helpful...

I've got to admit, I'm not that familiar with this kind of stuff, too ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinke:
Btw just googled and found the same mount problem on this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5112146#post5112146

So I guess I try proceeding no matter of errors and see what would happen:

dragan-dinics-macbook-pro:tools dinke$ adb shell
/ # $su
/ # mount -a
mount: mounting /system/modules/modules.cramfs on /system/modules failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /system/xbin/xbin.cramfs on /system/xbin failed: No such file or directory
/ # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
flashing recovery from /sdcard/recovery.img
/ #

Hopefully "no news is good news" here. Will try reboot and factory reset now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revoluzifer:
Should be alright, I didn't get any message as well...

Just try booting into recovery again.

If you get a warning sign everything is great.

Just turn the phone off (if needed, pull out the battery), do a normal boot, then factory reset and wait for the FOTA update ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinke:
IT WORKED HORRAY!!!

After reboot and reset to factory settings, had to do date switch to jully to pick up update. But this time update went without any problem, and when I check build version it is 2.73.405.93 now. Now looking forward to 2.1 update hopefully within next few days ;)

Great thanks for help!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revoluzifer:

After I was worried so much, never being able to update I've been looking for days before I tried it this way.

And just for any others out there that are waiting for the OTA to return, just advance your system time (say by a month) and it should magically re-appear.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
To install a radio, you should either be rooted, or have a custom recovery image.

[Touch HD General] crashDebug:
hi all ppl, i was wondering if anyone could help with setting up a vpn on my home.

the router/firewall that acts as a server is a netgear dg834g and I would like to connect my HD. i never get to connecting and the errors are:

- when i use ip address it asks for log & password. I haven't set up any log/pass in the router as there is NO possibility to do that! then i try to login as administrator (from the local PCs) and the error is "the remote party has ended this connection." same thing if i leave both fields blank.

- when i use the dyndns alias everything happens the same way but the error msg i get then is "VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, and try again etc etc".

note that i have setup both machines to use ipsec with a pre-shared key which is typed correctly (it seems to be recognized/accepted by the router)

am i missing something stupid here or simply my router does not support winmo ?

any help/tip will be highly appreciated. thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
I may just be imagining this but when i was in stock it took me actually tilting my phone to rotate the screen. When I started flashing custom roms it seems a lot more sensitive, i'll set the phone down on a table and it will flip the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know I can set it to not flip but I like my flip, not complaining, just wondering.

This is probably just the ROM being faster and more responsive, less BS crap running in memory, whatever.
[HD2 General] trippster:
Hi everyone--

I just got my HD2 a couple of weeks ago, and there is one problem that is consistently driving me NUTS. Because the screen is so large, while I am on a phone call, some part of my ear (and they are a normal size) is touching something on the screen that disconnects the call. Is there a way to cut down on the screen sensitivity while on a call, or simply disable the screen while I am on the phone? I've searched in many places, and can't find an answer anywhere. Please help, if you are able, before this problem drives me insane! Thanks in advance--
[HD2 General] watcher64:
I would say something else is going on, as the HD2 has a proximity sensor that is "supposed" to switch off the screen when it is at your ear ...

And Mine does, so if yours is not then something else may be going on ...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
trippster, test it like this:

call your voicemail, and keep the phone in your hand away from your face. once the call is connected, hold your thumb over the spot on the face of the phone just to the left of the ear speaker and tmobile logo...that should trigger it to switch the screen off until you move your finger
[HD2 General] trippster:
That's a REALLY awkward way to hold your phone while you're attempting to speak, don't ya think?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
That was just a suggestion to make sure the proximity sensor is working, not a way to talk on the phone all the time ....

I tried several roms, but when it comes time to write the rom on the device, is at 0% and the RUU gives error 300

I do not know what else to do.

This happened after I try to unlock CID.

Somebody help me, please, this phone is not mine.

Show me some topic, whatever.

I also tried the method to make it boot from the SD CARD, but I could not make it work, maybe cuz this is the old gene.

Help me ..... please!
[EVO 4G General] motoridersd:
Getting a weird behavior on the EVO with Active Sync.

I remember using it on my Hero with my company's Exchange server a while back, and everything worked.

With the EVO I can get e-mails, push works great, but when sending an e-mail I'm running into a weird issue.

Immediately after hitting send, the phone will complain that the message could not be sent. "Unable to send e-mail" or something like that.

If I go into the Outbox I can see that the e-mail is there. The phone will flash the message every few seconds, meaning it's trying and failing.

The strange part is, the e-mails are actually going through. The first time this happened my e-mail was sent to a work distribution list 15 times before I realized what was going on and deleted the e-mail from the Outbox.

That was with stock ROM and no mods. Today I tried sending an e-mail after rooting the EVO and using Damagecontrol ROM. The issue is still there. I can reproduce the problem just by sending an e-mail, it will be in the Outbox, will go through over and over until I delete it from the Outbox.

It seems like the phone is not getting confirmation from the Exchange server (or ActiveSync rather) that the message is getting sent properly.

I'm not sure exactly how ActiveSync pushes the sent e-mails back to Exchange. It uses the same SSL connection used for push and sync, but does it put it in the Outbox and then try to sync that folder with the server and the server is supposed to delete it from the Outbox once it is sent?

The sent e-mails are showing up in my Sent Items folder, every single one, so if I got 5 copies in my test, I will find 5 sent e-mails in the Sent Items folder.

Weird :confused:
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
I would talk with your IT dept and find out if there are any other smartphone users having the same issue (and if so, which platform), or if yours is an isolated case. I would also try synching your Exchange mailbox with a different android device (and then a different platform) to see if you can replicate the problem; you can also try synching someone else's mailbox on your device.

I don't have a solution for you, as I've never heard of this happening on any smartphone platform.

However, start with basic troubleshooting and you should be able to narrow down the source of the problem.
[EVO 4G General] jgiannangeli:
I am having the same exact issue!!!! Finally someone I can relate with. I have tried everything and no other users on my Exchange server are having this problem.

I have downloaded Moxier Mail from the market and I am using that just for the email and it works fine but I would really love to get this resolved.

Someone help!!!!
[EVO 4G General] motoridersd:
Thanks khov07. I have talked to my IT guy. I did try to configure the account on my Hero last night and got the exact same issue. Most of the users here use their iPhone's without a problem.

Now that I have found that the Hero has the same issue, I will go back to my IT guy and we'll try and see if we can find anything useful in our Exchange logs.

Since there are barely any configuration options in the e-mail client, it all probably boils down to a communication issue between the server and the client. Hopefully we'll be able to find the problem and correct it.

Edit: There's another user that has a Moment, I'm not sure if he uses ActiveSync on it, but I'll check with him to see if he has any issues.
[EVO 4G General] motoridersd:
Co-worker with the Moment can send e-mails without a problem, but he uses Moxier. So there's something going on between the HTC Mail App and the Exchange server.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
OP, I would ask a co-worker if you could borrow their phone (or perhaps your IT dept has a spare for testing) that is non-Android and try synching your mailbox to that device, see if the problem resurfaces.

Finally, take a look at those Exchange logs. You may be limited, however, based on the version of Exchange your enterprise is running, i.e., 2007 vs 2003. Exchange 2007 has significant improvements in mobile device management over 2003.
[EVO 4G General] motoridersd:
That's a good idea. Would rule out a problem with my account.

We do use 2007, we could never get this running on 2003.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
OP: Let us know your progress, as someone has reported the same issue on this thread. I myself am interested in knowing the root cause.
[EVO 4G General] jgiannangeli:
I am still having the issue and would love a resolution.

Thanks in advance,
[EVO 4G General] motoridersd:
Well something is definitely f'd up with the ActiveSync client that HTC includes.

I have just put Froyo (EvolutionV8) on my Evo and configured my exchange account on it. I can send e-mail without any problems.

Some Exchange servers have the issue, as most users are not having any problems, but the few of us that are will probably keep having the problem. I haven't had much time to do any troubleshooting on this.
[EVO 4G General] jgiannangeli:
It's good to hear the the issue isn't on Froyo, but I think the HTC Mail client has some extra security features that I would like to take advantage of. I was hoping the recent update would solve the problem, but no such luck. Maybe when the 2.2 official HTC update is released it will fix the problem.
[EVO 4G General] bcbrett:
same problem here

I have the same issue on send and rcv, send usually works ok, but checking mail just goes over and over till exch server stops trying. Bugs the hell out of me, im running exch 2007 from 1and1. Would be nice to find a fix to this.

[EVO 4G General] dirkuijt:

[EVO 4G General] prophetx2:
I have the same issue with exchange and the old touchdown. 6.2 touchdown fixed it for me. must be an exchange update that messed everything up for htc
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
2.2 includes some additional security features not present in 2.1, such as PIN security enforcement.

I have noticed many ActiveSync issues can be cleared up by wiping out the synch on the device, AND wiping out the local cache on your device. I usually see issues with Droids (all three) synching to Exchange - contacts don't show up, or calendars don't populate, etc.

Also, check to see if your exchange account is synched with any other devices. I have also seen odd issues with synching when your mailbox already has a device partnership with a WinMo device. If it does, delete all of them (server-side), wipe out the account on your phone, wipe out the local cache, reboot, wait 15 minutes, and try again.

Evo's should synch just fine with Exchange.

just a tip I still havent rooted but I did miss my tether so I looked into EasyTether and it lets you tether without root. The lite version lets you surf any site except https so basically you can surf anything except secure sites you have to log into. If you like to the lite version though you can always buy the full version. This is what I am using until I root.

**** root.

Multi touch, tether, flash, and sick widgets? Why does one need root?

2.2 Will bring Aps2sd and all will be fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] chrisinaz:
Honestly, the only real reason I want root at all is hopes of a Sense rom that mirrors HTC sense. HTC took a plain, boring GUI and turned it into something beautiful, something elegant. Not that Espresso isn't nice looking, but compared to Sense it's nothing.

Also, I want to remove all of the **** that HTC and Tmo insisted we needed, such as Peep, Stocks, Amazon MP3 (google, but still), and all the MyFaves junk.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Joe333x:
Yeah its great. The one reason I really cared for root was for tether and now with EasyTether it doesnt seem worth the hassle. At least not with this phone, if I still had my G1 I would think different. You say 2.2 will bring apps2sd, is that a definite? Have we heard when we will see 2.2 on the Slide?

As soon as you have SDK installed and adb works, the commands are the same.
[Click General] kongkows:
hi,

i'm also doing all the rooting process from mac, just put the directory contain 'adb' shell into your home/user places and executing it with 'terminal'..
[Click General] Androyonisus:
Same here, using a Mac ever since and also using it for Android development. Due to the underlying Unix core of OS X you just have to follow the steps as described for Linux. If it's just adb commands it's the same on every platform anyway.

You might want to add a

export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/yourusername/android.sdk/tools

to your .bash_profile file in your home folder so you don't have to cd to the SDK tools folder everytime. Happy rooting! :-)
[Click General] mrbjoernson:
Okay thanks for yours answers but i'm a newbie.

the background story is, I want to edit the boot.mp3. Because the startsound is really annoying;)

So i have download SDK, open the terminal and switch to usb-debbugging mode on my tattoo.

And now? sorry, I'm still missing a few knowledge

thanks for your help:)
[Click General] Androyonisus:
well just use the various adb commands in Terminal :-) Just type in "adb", press enter and you'll get a list of all possible commands. Assuming you've added the path to your sdk tools folder to your bash profile. Otherwise just drag & drop the adb binary from the tools folder onto your Terminal window, et voila.

The most used commands are probably push and pull where you can, well, push stuff to your phone or pull it to your computer.

So if you want to modify the boot.mp3 you would pull the original from the phone to your computer, modify it and push it back, overwriting the original file. In Terminal speak: ;-)

adb pull /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3

adb push /path/to/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3

Please note depending on the ROM you're using the paths may be different. To browse the device via Terminal type in "adb shell" and make a simple "ls" to list the directories, "cd" to change directories etc.

Or if you just want to use another mp3:

adb push /path/to/whatever.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3

Again, on the Mac you can just drag & drop files onto the Terminal to get their full Unix paths like to your custom mp3
[Click General] mrbjoernson:
Thanks a lot. i love it :D its really simple;)

and now i have load and edit the the boot.mp3. But i can't push it to my tattoo, because i can only read but not write:(
