Thanks for apps link although it might be along time coming.....done exactly as you said and its no different - connection error.....the only thing i can think that it is is that im using 7 x32 so ill try on an xp machine....

true..

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ComfySofa:
A little further - it was that - running it on a VM and its now flashing, looking as if its completed but when i reboot the phone its still as it was....almost there....
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] raving_nanza:

hard reset.. try again..

its done when spl = 1.11.cmon on start-up..

i suggest the babbelut rom..

im currently running Andrews 6.1 rom :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] rockypi:
Same happened to me... finally I could upgrade

Hello,

I had the same problem: got errors 228 (invalid file size) and the other one. I was trying with an XP machine and babbelut's ROM. But when I tried with some other ROM from this post:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546805

(exactly, the Spanish version of Build 28005 Release 2 [27/12/09] Original Microsoft Edition) I got no errorat all. It's working fine right now.

By the way, I never got the 1.11.cmon SPL, just with the 1.11.0000 it worked right !!

Hope this helps.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] raving_nanza:
...

1.11.0000 works with some but to flash without it checking the file size you need 1.11.cmon..
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ComfySofa:
ok - ive tried everything - im now running on an old p4 2.0ghz with xp - same result....no matter what i do it wont change to the cmon rom.....i might have further problems as ive just popped an o2 sim in to it (its an o2 phone) and it cant get a signal - although ill press on...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ComfySofa:
ok - well i thought id try reflashing a rom anyway.....the rom is on there but it kinda gets stuck while booting.......
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ComfySofa:
nope - its ok now - it has booted with the custom OS on but still no phone signal....ill try the hspl again....
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] raving_nanza:

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] azansod:

Hi 2 all!

I am a complete newbie in android (I used windows mobile before) but I am very very impressed.

I am running the htc standard rom on my desire.

As a newbie I have a few questions:

.) How/is it possible to edit the weather database to add a location which is not mentiond in the city list?

.) Backup:

- My phone is set to automaticly backup my setting - how can I resore them? When resetting the phone to factory settings is there a possibility to restore my backup?

.) Flashing a new rom:

- Gernerally: Will the storage card touched when flashing a new rom - I mean will eg. my photos (saved a the sorage card) deleted?

Thats all for the moment ;-)

Thanks for your answers,

br Chris

[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
hey guys, i have the G2 Touch running firmware build 2.73.111.26 CL#69351 on T-Mobile Germany.

today, i got the message that a firmware update is available, that mainly affects the youtube player. it was 3,6 MB large.

i clicked on "download" and afterwards on "install now" and then my phone rebooted. after reboot, first i saw the T-Mobile boot screen, then it booted into recovery mode.

in the beginning, there was a status bar moving (but with no status, just some movement, if you know what i mean) and then the status bar vanished. as it stayed like this without any change for about 10 minutes, i removed the battery and inserted it again, then i booted the phone like always.

but now i don't have the update and can't download it again. is there any way to get that update again?

thanks in advance for your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
ok, i did a full factory reset to get the update again, that worked very good.

i got the update notification again, and tried installing it again.

download works, after clicking on "install now" the phone reboots and starts in recovery mode.

there is the status bar, and it is working until it is about half filled.

then the icon changes, i suddenly have an explanation mark on the screen, the status bar has vanished.

then nothing happens.

why doesn't it work? what can I do?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
try pressing back or menu?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
no key works.

for some reason, since the first factory reset, my pc's adb doesn't recognize the phone any more, so i can't see the url of the update. but the update window shows the filename, it is "OTA_Hero_T-Mobile_DE_2.73.111.91-2.73.111.26_R_release5pon5e4vkwhssvb1.zip" if that is helpful for somebody^^

also i called T-Mobile support a few minutes ago, and they said there was no update at all since the 2.73.111.26 that was published in november.

any idea, anybody?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
and for the record, the following link works to get the update:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
can anybody help?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MysteryHero:
Most likely an update to the Youtube player that allows High Quality streams. All the newer builds (3.XXXXXXXX) have this new version, if you can live without, than it's nothing major.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] The_Vulture:
I experienced the same: OTA Update announcement - something about "YouTube Player" blah - after installation, my hero was frozen.

Back & Menu brought me into the maintenance menu: Reboot without upgrade-activation brought back my old hero. No changes done.

Very quick (~1h later) "first level e-mail support" from t-mobile: No OTA-updates possible on G2 Touch (...harhar), pointed me to website with old firmware update.

I asked them to contact second level technical support - as it was definetly an OTA firmware-update and I already have installed the older firmware-update: Answer pending, since yesterday afternoon.

I hope, this was no hacker-intrusion attempt. T-Mobile not being informaed about an OTA firmware-update by whoever, does not really fill me with confidence. Would be a nice little hack, if some illformed hacker found out a way to pretend an firmware update OTA and used the willingness of all hero owners to take even a small step towards Android 2.1 wonderland...

.g.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
No, it's really no hacking attempt. The update is on HTC servers, that's why T-Mobile support doesn't know it. Will contact HTC support today.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
ok, I just called HTC.

the guy who could hardly speak german but tried very much told me, that they knew of the problem, as I am not the only one with it.

he recommended to perform a full factory reset, then try again.

as I told him that I already had done this several times, he told me I had to send the phone in via T-Mobile, so they can fix this.

considering the fact that this is a very minor update and that I need my phone, I now decided to wait some more weeks till the 2.1 update will (hopefully) arrive.

maybe the 2.1 update will work, if not I still can send it in. also, the update may be available to install via usb from PC, so it might work better.

so it's waiting for 2.1 again ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] arniejj:
Hi,

In the Netherlands we got this update too. It fixes youtube and enables the phone to get Android 2.1 OTA, which will be available in a week or two.

The original HTC Hero firmware checks for updates every two weeks. Maybe the next trick will be helping you to force download the update (it worked for me to force the update):

Set the device's date a year in the future (for example 15 june 2011). Go back to home screen and probably the update wil appear in your screen.

Let us know if it worked for you..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tziflos:
It worked for me. As soon as I changed the date I received the update.

Thanks for the solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Is it just me thats wondering why.. if they are going to release a 2.1 update soon... are they packaging in an update for youtube in this ota?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] makerber:
I guess more people where complaining about the broken Youtube player than about the 2.1 update (at least it was more visible for our customers). Having this fixed and declared on the support site makes life easier for customer support...it is stupid I know, but the average user is that dump.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
I just hope it doesnt mean that this is all we are getting. For a while at least.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sebxd:
they are also releasing something wich prepare the ota server and repare it.. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Sure.. but how many months to wait now.. otherwise why update youtube at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sebxd:
Rumours are saying that it's coming the 18th and I think that pretty believable because we have got that update today...

And I don't know anything about youtube update ^^ maybe they wanted to give us something instead of an empty update ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

There was no "System updates ..." item in the phone status, before this update. I don't see why HTC would update the FOTA client if they didn't actually plan on sending us the 2.1 update soon. Probably takes a few days though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PeterMeulders:
Be patient

Hi,

I did the clock tip and got immediatly the update message. Download and installation went fine. Rebooting took about 10 minutes, so be patient and let the update do its work.

Peter
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Doesn't really make any sense

If they are going to update so soon why did they update YouTube.

Don't get me wrong id love the 2.1 update.. and it probably is coming soon.. but this YouTube update makes me doubt the 18th as being the big day.

-------------------------------------
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Well, for one, the update title is:

"Update – HTC Hero Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update"

The Youtube client is just a minor addition, I assume this is just a standard update package they had already sent out way earlier in Taiwan (to fix some preliminary issues including the YT client) or prepared earlier and packaged together but ultimately didn't release it.

There is nothing, NOTHING standing in the way of a June release now, and after all HTC promised the update for the first half of 2010 i.e. until the end of June.

But read again... I didn't say 18th, just a few days... might be Friday might be Monday might be Wednesday next week.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Dont be pedantic I was referring to the post above you and your comment.. a few days is not a week. A few days is just that, days, as soon as you can refer to that collection of days as a week then I think you are well out of the few range.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
OK, lets try this:

this is the URL to the update:

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Hero_T-Mobile_DE_2.73.111.91-2.73.111.26_R_release5pon5e4vkwhssvb1.zip

The Android system recovery utility I managed to open after the interrupted installation says the following:

Is this useful for anybody? Is there any way of installing that update without getting the error?

EDIT: i found that line 1 within the update package in /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script ^^ maybe it can be fixed by editing that line??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
I took that line off, but I got an error on line 4, it just can't start applying the patches by running "applypatch".

I'm trying to do this in the "update.zip" form with Amon-RA's recovery image, are you trying to update this way too or by OTA?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
Until now, I used the OTA that has already been downloaded, so when I change the clock I can install it immediately.

Now I downloaded the same OTA package via pc and put it on my sd card, renaming it to update.zip

Using that brings in the same result.

I will continue working on this tomorrow, maybe someone has any other idea by then.

Edit: I took the default recovery thing, I got there by pressing home and end call on the error screen that came during the update. I think that will work as well if the phone is turned off
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
I manually restored the recovery image (with the one included in the OTA) and then used the automatic installation that pops up on screen.

Everything seemed to be working fine but it failed on me. I know why though... I removed a few pairs of apk/odex files from my phone when I installed the latest version and when it tried to update those files, it failed cause they couldn't be found.

I'm sure that it will work fine if you have all original files and restore the recovery to the default Hero one (or the one that comes in the OTA) and the try the update.

I will not be bothered with that though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
I don't think so. I absolutely have stock ROM installed, I don't even have root, so I made no changes to the system. Should work absolutely fine.

But maybe HTC is reacting on this issue now. I didn't manage to get that update notification again, no matter how I set up the date. Maybe HTC has removed the update, as they know it is corrupt?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] catolh:
I have stock rom with root, and amon-ra's recovery image. The update rebooted my phone, and the install failed. Now my phone is bugging me with "do you want to update" messages all the time.

Any way to fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
Haha, well now you are pedantic. So you are telling me, that because of a youtube update you infer that the 2.1 update will certainly not come within "a few days", but could be come withing a week or two (which is more than a "few days"?

There is only one way you could possibly interpret the youtube update inclusion in a negative light... the update will, again, be delayed very long, so they give at least one bug fix to us customers.

I would be fine with that interpretation, it does make sense. But you are telling us that because of the youtube update we won't get it on Friday, but everything after that, maybe in a week, is possible. That is nonsensical.

I'm not talking about whether it delays or not, but whether the inclusion of youtube justifies the expectation of the 2.1 update not coming in the next "few days", but maybe a little later.

Having said that, it could well be possible that the predicted June 18th update was the update yesterday, and we'll have to wait until the end of June for 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Or maybe you could read my posts and see that I say months.

It was you getting hissy with me because I included you with the 18th when you actually said a few days.. and I pointed out you were being pedantic, because at this point a few day is pretty much the 18th.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Seriously why start that off as being the "bigger man" then end it with something to inflame me.

Ive not complained or been upset by htc.. Ive speculated on the purpose of youtube being part of the package.. which I think its a fair enough comment.

So really all thats happened is Ive proved you were being petty and now you want to have a go because you are upset.. well done ;)

Oh and to prevent this running even longer Ill just say goodbye to you and I hope you enjoy yourself on here.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olafos:
You speculated and I speculated, I addressed your speculation (why the youtube update might be included and why we might still be getting 2.1 on Friday) and you took the one line where I was clarifying that when I said a few days I meant "anything within a week" as pedantic or whatever (I'm sorry for not speaking perfect English, but give me the chance to clarify, mkay?).

However... I'm not really upset, just disappointed that instead of discussing and addressing my arguments you pick at minor details in my expression (that I included in a side note anyway) and "I returned the favor". Oh well... thanks for leaving though.

@Users: Sorry for that OT discussion.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GiBb0n:
Possible fix

Hi buddy,

I had the same problem with my G2 touch, I found a way to fix it.

I re-flashed it using the t-mobile RUU 2.27.110.26 from the HTC website:

This site won't let me post the link.

I did that and it worked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
Did you mean the 2.73.110.26 ?

Please send me the link via pm, as I don't find it.

Thx

I'm not your buddy, guy.

(sorry couldnt help it)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GiBb0n:
Lol,

:(

Damn I'm devastated...but I'll get over it I'm sure

3...2...1...

Yup its behind me :-p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Really I didnt think a South Park quote would be that obscure :S
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JW 301:
ok, now for everyone who might have the same problem:

go to the htc.com support page of your country and select the hero.

in netherlands and UK you find a special entry for the T-Mobile branded devices, download that.

in germany, there is no special entry, but if you select the latest ROM upgrade for unbranded hero and enter your G2 Touch serial there, you get the T-Mobile update.

after installing the downloaded RUU, the OTA update should work! did for me...

@GiBb0n: thanks for the help!

I need delete all files in some folder or delete it folder and create empty again.

Hot to do it via xml or cab ?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
What's the folder, what's in it, and why is i there in the first place. Instead of slapping a band-aid on the problem (and increasing your boot-time), you should prevent the folder from forming to begin with. You probably need to edit a provxml. or maybe initflashfiles.dat.
[Windows Mobile] Ethermind:
I want to clean up %CE11% from default shortcuts.

So I want make cab which can for any ROM replace all default shortcuts with mine.

So I have edit provxml for every ROM or make one cab for all ROMs.

[Windows Mobile] Ethermind:
To delete single file is very easy. I interested in a la *.lnk deletion : )
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Edit initflashfile.dat as farmer said. If you dont want to do that, then use startup scripts.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You should also post all of the links that you want removed. Some may require special tricks to keep them from appearing, and you'll get helped quicker. You can always delete the shortcuts in the Sys folder (what I do), then you don't have to worry about them at all, and they aren't wasting slots in your rom.
[Windows Mobile] Ethermind:
It is all good for one ROM.

But if I use today one rom, next week other ROM, next week another etc.

Don't you think it more easy to use one universal cleaning CAB instead of cleaning every ROM?
[Windows Mobile] Diegis0n:
searching for and deleting some *.lnk's every time a SYS come out isn't that much work is it ? :)easier then what you're after in any case.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
What you need to do is collect all the provxml's that you edit and put them in an EXT. They'll over-write the ones in the new SYS, and won't have the unnecessary file operations. Also, you can just use the same initflashfiles.dat over and over again (edit as needed for new packages). The provxml's are mostly in the obvious packages in the Common directory, and that's where most shortcuts are.
[Windows Mobile] Ethermind:
Good idea. I will use it for now.

But still interested in xml scripting : )
