Why that MacOS script doesn't work in bash on Ubuntu is beyond me. It looks to be formatted correctly.

#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
adb devices;
sleep .25;
done

You could always use the following equivalent:

#!/bin/sh
watch -n .25 adb devices;
done

Assuming adb is in your path, this would run it every 1/4 second. You could, of course, change it to suit your location for adb (/usr/local/bin/adb or other location).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newspeak:
Cool thanks ..I will try that for the loop script

The other issue I have is that I can't see my phone as a device when I type adb devices in the bootloader ...it works fine when the phone is in the rom tho....I tried searching for the problem but I can't seem to find a solution ....I may just have overlooked it tho
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newspeak:
thanks again for the help with my problem i have a feeling the macos script would of worked i was using the wrong command i ended up typing "sh loop.sh" and it ran the script ....alltho i don't see it spamming adb devices ...it seems to just output it one time ....

now all i have to do is get the phone to show up when its in the bootloader....off to the search button i go
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
As soon as you hit power to go to recovery either A) Activate the stupid script or B) mash ENTER+UP+ENTER+UP+ENTER until your keys fall off. I only got it to work the latter way.

Also, in Linux I've found that you'll get ???????? NO PERMISSIONS unless you do sudo ./adb devices.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
The first time you run adb in a session, it should be started with sudo, since that starts the adb daemon. After that, any normal user's permissions (like running the script) should be ok. Make it easy on yourself and copy the adb executable to some place in your path (I use /usr/local/bin/). That way, you can delete the entire SDK unless you have plans for developing apps for Android.

I tried using my second code snippet above as loop.sh. I didn't go any higher, but it really doesn't have to work really quickly. I went up to .5 (executing "adb devices" twice a second) and it worked fine. You won't see a scrolling output like you would in DOS. The screen just updates if/when new info comes up (like showing the phone offline or in recovery.) When you get to the phone icon with the red triangle, hit VolUp and Power at the same time to get the recovery menu. The rest of the normal root tutorial should work for you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newspeak:
ok thanks again for the help so far....here is where i am at ...i put adb in /usr/local/bin ...i can use adb devices ....the script is working for me but now when i get to the point where i push over the first file it says permission denied

i make sure to start adb with sudo ....i even tried running everything from a root terminal but i still get the same thing....i have already tried killing the adb server and restarting it with root permissions ...i have tried pushing the file with devices still listed as offline

kind of at a loss

here is what i get btw

"doublespeak@endor:~/androidsdk/tools$ adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip

failed to copy 'ota.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission denied

doublespeak@endor:~/androidsdk/tools$

"
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
I'm using a pretty fresh install of Ubuntu Lucid. I haven't messed with my user's groups or anything, so it's still fairly stock.

All I've done is copied adb to /usr/local/bin. The first run of adb (adb devices) is done as root using sudo. You could try running "sudo adb root" to begin with, and see if that makes a difference. After that, I can run any adb push commands as the normal user in GNOME's terminal.

Assuming you're set up like I am, if you're getting a permissions error after doing that, I'd hazard a guess and say the problem is on the phone's side rather than the computer.

Check and make sure USB debugging is checked in your settings. Beyond that, I'm stumped.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregmaron:
Hello all.

I have been looking through the forums most of the day trying to make sense of rooting and roms and all that, and I think I have a handle on what this is all about - obviously I need to try and see first. But I have somewhat of a dilemma on my hands that I would use the advice of others on.

I currently have an iPhone on ATT and love the phone but hate the service. Verizon is the only thing that works well around here (ive tried friends phones) and I know I want something of the Android family if I am going to have to lay down the iPhone (which is getting easier given the flop I think iOS4 is). So, I bought a Droid Eris.

Problem: It is waaay to slow. I have owned it 5 days and Sense UI has Force Closed 7 or more times. I get a better experience by Advanced Task Killing everything, but that seems like a bad deal to have to do on a new phone. I would like to root and rom the phone with something like Official 1.0 Alpha from ivanmmj, but I am still within my first 30 days with Verizon and can take the phone back if it is stock. I am afraid that if I root and rom it that the VZW sales mafia will reject me if I still try to take it back. I also am not confident in my ability to root/rom correctly, or reverse it if necessary.

Question: Should I try to OC the phone with a better ROM and pray it gets snappier or should I go get a different phone? The only other thing they have in the store that would suit me is a Palm Pre Plus (non Android, I know), otherwise I am waiting for the Incredible (4+ weeks) or the Droid X (wish I knew what Motoblur worked like). Opinions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Rooting is easy as hell, coming from never having done anything like it.

You can unroot easily and it's untraceable.

You should get a different phone, honestly. I love my Eris, and overclocking makes it snappy and quick but it just can not compete with something like the incredible or the droid X. The incredible is WELL worth the wait.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Before you get too distraught over what to do, you should first check to see whether the phone is even rootable. 5 days old, phone from VZW? A lot of new phones coming from VZW recently are not rootable.

Chances are it has the 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader on it, in which case, the point is moot. (No rooting an Eris with the 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader at the moment. This is the same bootloader as was used with the "leak" V1, V2, V3 ROMs).

You can check by powering off your phone and then starting it up by pressing and holding the Send+End/Power buttons at the same time.

HBOOT version is in the 2nd line.

(Turn your phone off with a battery pull at that point).

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregmaron:
It says 1.47.0000 in the HBOOT line, so I am supposing it is rootable?

If it is, I wouldn't mind trying a root, rom, & OC if I can get a proper guide on how to reverse it back to stock. Don't want VZW to think I muckied up their phone should I try to return it.

I really like what I see with the Droid X. I'd even be willing to pay for it today, but waiting until July 15 or later is going to kill me. I recently got some new contracts for my business and not getting phone calls on my ATT iPhone is not a great way to treat a new client.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
ATT is a joke.

The Droid X is a beast phone, I'd love to have one.

Go to the developers part of this Eris forum and there's a sticky with all of the guides and ROM's you'll need.
[EVO 4G General] sfld:
has anyone had problems with recieving phone calls?

It seems like hwile im surfing calls wont come in, they just keep ringing. Ive tried calling myself a couple of times right now and it just rings and rings. Other times the calls come through. I have full service via 3g and am on the stock radio. I wonder whats causing this
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
Go to Setting > Call and see if DDTM is checked. If it is, uncheck it. This will cause calls to not come through while surfing the web.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
Also, enable the Call Guard in Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks? What does that do exactly?
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
It prompts you before making a phone call while roaming to see if you want to go forth with the call.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
Thanks, I was off on that one :)

[HTC Aria General] yaswanth.y.s:
Does anyone has a clue about when Froyo will be available for Aria?
[HTC Aria General] saint168:
I'm not holding my breath for update from AT&T!
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
I am hoping we'll be able to port the Legend Rom with a great deal of success once it is available. I will be looking into an unbranded 2.1 Legend ROM port for the Aria next.
[HTC Aria General] Cronis:
eh it was just released... wouldn't expect to hear about a 2.2 release for at least a few months probably more.
[HTC Aria General] ryusen:
Froyo hasn't even been officially released yet. after that, HTC will need to port SenseUi for it. HTC did say all 2.1 devices released this year should expect a 2.2 update.
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
Probably not until AT&T figures out how to remove tethering from it.
[HTC Aria General] shark0807:
As saint168 said, I wouldn't hold your breath. What will happen is HTC will say "we expect a Froyo update for the Aria by Christmas!" and then the day before Christmas they will say "We expect a Froyo update for the Aria by the end of February!" and then we won't see an update except in Taiwan in June.

I am going by the official Eclair update for the GSM Hero of course.

attn1 brought up a factor, as most likely we will be seeing mostly stable 2.2 Roms within the next six months or so for the Aria that will probably make the frustrations of any promised official update increase.
[HTC Aria General] Gorilla800lbs:
Or perhaps not remove it outright, but to figure out how to make it billable to the tune of extra $20 per month on top of "DataPro" data plan, as they've done it with iPhone 4/iOS4.
[HTC Aria General] jaex:
Android 2.2 Froyo will definitely for Aria but i don't count on AT&T. I want a clean Froyo and not At&T B.S. in there
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
cyanogen has said he's porting to the MT3GS, which is nearly identical to the Aria. That WILL be ported to the Aria.

AOSP Froyo 2.2 - cyanogen style. Everyone and their all their brothers will be taking a crack at that port - including me.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
Will this be a dump of the official update for the MT3GS or is there a port that's being used. Also, if this is a pre-existing port then what kind of features should we expect to not work by the time it hits Aria (like camera, 3D acceleration, gps, and sound)?

By the way ... my Aria is now in my state so hopefully will be playing with it in an hour or two.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
The MT3GS and Aria are very closely related. HTC does not do AOSP roms - they add their proprietary HTC sense stuff. If you want that, it will take some time for HTC to release a stable version for either the MT3GS or the Aria.

AOSP means Android Open Source Project based - and that means no HTC Sense UI. The Nexus One runs pure AOSP, which personally, I prefer. cyanogenmods are all AOSP based, but are generally better in terms of features and performance.

cyanogenmod 6.x will be based on Android 2.2 AOSP code, and is being built and in limited testing now. It will be released for a half dozen phones almost simultaneously - and soon. Once something is working for the MT3GS, it will be a very short time before it is ported to the Aria.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
Man this is like night and day coming from the Xandroid community (new android features seem to take months to develop).

I too prefer AOSP which I used on the Xandroid builds (tested on my Pure) and I had Launcher Pro installed which I think is LEAGUES better than Sense.

I'm extremely excited to learn more about flashing android roms. Don't know anything about it yet but I saw Aria's already been rooted.

I do appreciate the WVGA of the Pure but this Aria really isn't THAT different in quality (seems more colorful though). Gotta get a screen protector from AT&T ... will have to wade through crowds of iPhone sheep no doubt.
[HTC Aria General] hocplyr98:
When you say ported, does that mean I can rewrite my phone replacing Sense? Because I don't just want to have Froyo AND Sense and just have sense disabled and hiding in the background.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
I think you're confusing Android 2.2 (FroYo) with HTC's user interface (Sense).

cyanogenmod is based on pure AOSP code - no Sense UI.

I just completed a port of a MyTouch3G rom to the Aria. Wifi doesn't work, and my touch keys don't work. I am sure those are simple fixes. Eugene probably has answers to some of those issues, but it stands to reason that when CM 6 is released for the MTS3G, we can begin work on a port for the Liberty (Aria).
[HTC Aria General] fluffyarmada:
Froyo runs... it's just a matter of someone who knows what they're doing fixing all of the drivers and a few other things. :)

I've got a working AOSP froyo i successfully ported from the legend on my aria. I just have 3 more things i need to work out, the speaker, the sd card is buggy, and the g-sensor.

great work thanks ahead of time :)
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Sounds good. How does it run?
[HTC Aria General] sl8125:
There was a news stating the HTC Wildfire will get a Froyo update. Acccording to the specs it's almost identical to the Aria. Once they release the froyo, can we port the rom to Aria? Is there extra work required to port to the Aria?

One more, what is difference in performance wise on naked Android versus HTC Sensed Android?

Here is the thread by Engadget.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/htc-expect-desire-legend-and-wildfire-to-get-froyo-beginning/
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
How hard is it to fix the three items listed before?
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
@attn1-the Rom itself runs really good. But I haven't been able to get the SD card working nor the speaker, gsensor and camera.

But its not a problem with the port as the Rom which was built for the legend doesn't have the above working either. So if there is a better port for the legend that comes out I'm pretty sure I can port it.

It's kind difficult for me to fix the 3 issues because I have no prior knowledge of building from source, but I'm learning so hopefully I can build one for the aria.

I was able to port the vanilla bean build found in the legend forums but I haven't been able to get the SD card to mount. But almost everything is working and no force closes.

If anyone wants to try out the 2.2 Rom ill post it as is right now. It's not good for everyday use but you can get an idea of froyo on our Aria.

And if anyone thinks they can fix the SD driver on the aosp vanilla bean let me know.
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
There is a 3g slide froyo Rom I have found. I used it as base for a testing froyo aria build. I'll post more info from home with a link but its the big thread in the slide forum with the build name including openmaster and dream/sapphire in the build props. That should help. No problems with SD either it just had no working WiFi or BT because I only took a couple minutes to play with it.

Edit* Found it at 3g slide froyo with working sound
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
You should open an IRA channel and invite fluffyarmada. He's trying to get an AOSP rom going too.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
cool. buttons all work?
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
not by default but putting in the right files from the 2.1 rom the buttons work fine. no issues with touchscreen by default either
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
is the accelerometer working in that one?
[HTC Aria General] acardinale:
I just wanted to say thanks for (inadvertently) showing me there is an Xda android app for this phone (via previous posts) ... Fooking awesome!
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
Any update on this project today?
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
I was gonna see if i could get a useable daily 2.2 rom working but i really cant seem to get the damned sources to compile lol.

At this time it's not worth the annoyances so i personally am waiting for the new cynogen slide rom to come out in the next few days/weeks and port from there.
[HTC Aria General] panda703:
thanks for the update looking forward to this
[HTC Aria General] chrispilot2293:
Im usin the slide and someone posted a dead link for a froyo slide rom so could u fix the link please
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
I fixed the sd card on the froyo port I Was working on.
[HTC Aria General] acardinale:
What other issues are there?
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
Froyo please :)
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
gps and accelerometer that i've noticed. havent checked wifi or bluetooth on it.
[HTC Aria General] graceflanger:
Any update on a running Froyo?
[HTC Aria General] eortizr:
I can't wait... I do not care about sense... I just want 2.2 in my little giant
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
I was playing some racing games and I was really amazed by the frame rates. I think even if 2.2 doesn't have a noticeable boost in performance that at least we will have native apps2sd and tethering support. EXCITED!
[HTC Aria General] gtg465x:
The thing is, HTC Sense seems like it's very well optimized to provide smooth animations throughout the UI. I think you'll see quite a bit more lag if you switch to a stock AOSP rom. For an example, just watch some video reviews of the Nexus One. Then watch some video reviews of the Incredible. You'll notice that the Incredible seems much smoother even though they have almost identical hardware. Unless the Nexus is running a custom ROM with a 3rd party launcher of course.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel79:
Will this ROM be able to be ported to Aria (not CM6 but hey it's Froyo at least):

http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_developer_display.asp?developerid=75#295
[HTC Aria General] dahui9:
so read through this, because we do not have much support for the aria I'm looking and starting to talk with kernel developers to try and impliment fixes and speed advances. I have no knowledge of java or anything recent so it may take a little bit but I learn fast.

I can't wait!
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
agreed, at the moment htc sense provides the smoothest experience because HTC optimized android that way for the aria. Although we are making progress with AOSP rom ports and getting better performance then we originally started out with. but they are just ports optimized for other devices and until we get an AOSP rom built specifically for the aria with a rebuilt kernel and optimizations for the Aria, the performance wont be perfectly on par. But do note that eventually we'll be able to get a better experience with a stock AOSP rom then the sense ui rom.
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
To be honest its highly unlikely well see a port of this exact rom with all the same features. Especially because its built for the HTC dream and Magic. I've had a much more difficult time porting roms from the G1 and truthfully its not worth all the effort. Once a fully working froyo rom is made for the Legend, Slide, or better yet the Aria, we probably wont see a good working port of froyo. theres been alot of noticable problems with current froyo ports with no currently known fixes.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
I don't think there is a device out there that is a good port candidate because none have the exact same chipsets. The Legend and Mytouch3GS are close, but I think they both use different wifi chipsets. If we want AOSP Android on teh Aria - we're going to have to build it from source and not try to patch it together.

I tried building a FroYo kernel for the Aria yesterday. There are way too many kernel options to start out without a kernel .config file that is at least close. When the kernel gurus get things cooking on a similar platform (like the Legend), tweaking one of those kernel configs for the Aria should be pretty easy. Then the task of getting the source together with drivers for proper Android compilation begins.
[HTC Aria General] dahui9:
sounds good until then I will keep reading up on how to modify kernel in general
[HTC Aria General] themeerkat:
CM6 RC released

Well, now that the CM6 RC is officially out today for the MyTouch 3G, among other handsets, is an Aria port imminent (given the large similarities between the two devices)?
[HTC Aria General] jcarrz1:
you guys are most similar to the legend. so look for a rom there, and get going!
[HTC Aria General] _Opiate_:
I'm sure there is more than 1 port currently in the works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kengsta:
I know it's possible to change the language to english.

But can this be done with a official rom update from htc or must it be done with a random cooked rom?

Also do I need Hardspl or anything to update a official rom?

It's currently a european version with dutch language.

Thanks in advanced,

Regards,

Guido
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Could have answered this yourself with a basic search, which you are encouraged to do before starting a new thread.

But here you go. The only way to completely change the language of your phone is to flash a new rom in the language of your choice , official or cooked, to your phone.

But first you must Hardspl your phone by following these steps.

[HD2 General] theblake:
Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I posted about my HD2 not reacting to any USB activity at all, so, with the battery dead and no way to charge it, I sent it to HTC to get it repaired.

Unfortunately, being the idiot I am, they didn't repair it because I had used a HSPL in the past and left it on when I sent it back. Woohoo...!

Anyway, they sent it back in the same condition, as I suspected. So I managed to just find a way to charge the battery without using the USB port that was dead anyway. I removed the HSPL and flashed the stock ROM back on.

I was just wondering. Now I've sent it back with the HSPL, does this void my warranty? And if I sent it back with the original SPL, will they repair it, or just give it back saying my warranty is void from last time I sent it in?

Thanks for any help!
[HD2 General] FerretAD:
I can imagine they would have logged the fact you put on the HSPL.

But, how much does it cost to send it ?

Might be worth giving it a bash !

Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to charge it without the USB port ?
[HD2 General] theblake:
I can send it for free through my phone provider, so I suppose it's worth the two week wait if it works! But I've heard of people who've sent it back after already sending it with a HSPL and they've repaired it, so fingers crossed.

And to charge it, I cut open a USB cable, separated the red and black wires, and connected them to the negative/positive bits on the battery. It's apparently dangerous, but I was desperate.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
deffinately worth sending it in again. chances are the drone on the returns desk won't dig into it that deep.

Besides, theres no illegal software on there now, what grounds are there to refuse you? do they have proof? did they take a picture of the spl? no.
[HD2 General] theblake:
Actually... they did. :P

They sent a huge screenshot of the bootloader screen and sent it back with the phone.

Oh well, worth a try still.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol, fair enough then. I'd still deff send it in again still.

fingers x'd.
