i successfully got into adb in recovery mode fairly easily on my ubuntu 10.4 laptop using the following method-

this should also work for a linux live boot from a usb flash drive

in one terminal tail and follow log messages

~$ tail -f /var/log/messages

in another terminal run the loop

then

1. plugin usb and keep it plugged in

2. remove battery, eject sd card.

3. put battery in

4. press vol- and power

5. after around 6 seconds, your terminal with the log will show something like "new high speed USB..."

6. press vol- to select recovery

7. press the power button

8. IMPORTANT- as soon as you see a new log entry (something like "USB disconnect"), pop in the sd card

check your loop terminal for adb. if it doesn't work, repeat at step 2

hope this may be helpful to some

Awesome Post! you win the most helpful post of root!!... well over exaggerated but you get the point. Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Great tip, thanks for knowing bash much better than I do :)

This ought to be quite a bit more useful than my previous method of running an lsusb loop, and definitely more useful than waiting for Win7's boo-boops, which like all Windows notifications is prob ~1s after the bus event is completed--I NEED MORE TIME(ING), so thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blaksplash:
Thanks guys

I also forgot to add that Windows users could easily try ubuntu or a Linux distro by booting a live session from usb disk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
I'm not sure a livecd on usb will work unless persistence is enabled, if one's concerned about setting up a 51-android.rules in /etc, but I have my doubts that a dedicated driver is necessary for work in adb with linux.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blaksplash:
i just tried it on a live boot of mythbuntu 10.4 and it worked on my first try. i think if you sudo ./adb shell you shouldn't have add the usb rule. no drivers, no path changes

open a terminal-

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ wget http(colon)//dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r06-linux_86.tgz

Cool! I tried to do it but didn't quite get it on my first try (although I don't even want to root right now).

Thanks for the share!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blaksplash:
i'm not sure. here is link for tail for windows. you might be able to open C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt or some other log file the might keep track of hardware events

so did you get it in another try?

I for the life of me can not get adb to run on this phone. I know adb and used it back when I had windows and use it currently on Ubuntu 10.04 with my Nexus One without any problems. I keep getting the device not found... How do I loop "adb shell"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] socalracer:
i got it on the first try with ubuntu live usb, once i got the error and i was in recovery, i went to go do the update.zip and i press power too fast and it ended up going to system reboot and i havent been able to get in since then :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blaksplash:
are you able to get into adb normally with the phone set to "HTC Sync"?

here's how to make the loop

echo 'while true; do /ADB_DIRECTORY/tools/adb shell; done' > script_name

chmod +x script_name

./script_name

if you need root privileges to adb-

sudo ./script_name

i've had the same thing happen to me. i left the battery out a little longer before my next attempt and that helped- maybe for a minute or 2.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] Anartic:
This might seem like a dumb question, and I just got my MTS 2 days ago, so I'm still learning about it, but at the top of the phone, where the LEDs are, what is the function of the opposite side of where you hear your calls? Is it there for looks or does it have LEDs in there also?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
it is the proximity sensor... it is what "locks" the screen so you are not activating it with your cheek while on the phone... it also blacks out the screen when you are on the phone
[myTouch 3G Slide General] chrisinaz:
I've always wondered what this was too... thanks for that information.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
it also turns the button lights and keyboard lights on/off at certain light levels...that way when its bright it turns the lights off and when ur in the dark the lights come on...i love it!

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
that seems to be incorrect because i use the headset and if i lift the phone to a certain angle the phone screen turns off, but when i tilt it back down it turns on again. i will look into this more but from what i have seen it is just there to be a little more symmetrical(would you want a phone with asymmetrical looks to it)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
no hes right it IS a proximity sensor...go where theres some light and open the keyboard and see if the keylights are on...if so, try to make it brighter...(shine a flashlight at it or something) and the lights will go off...then put your finger over the sensor and the lights will come on...it works, try it...definitely not just for decoration...what you are experiencing is a perfectly normal effect of the proximity sensor doing what it does...no reason to look into it...

or download "Sensor List" from the market and look, it lists the prox. sensor and its data...put your finger over it and watch the output jump...

or run adb logcat and put your finger over it and itll come up with a entry about the light value changing...

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
without the headset try calling your voice-mail in a lit room and hold the phone away from you and move it all around an at different angles, you will see it makes no changes but just by putting your thumb over that spot it kills the screen and as soon as you remove your thumb it comes back on... might want to actually do some reading or testing before saying someone is wrong. not only would a quick 5 second test show that it is the light/proximity sensor, or you could try a quick google search
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
You can also have the left light flash for missed messages.

There resolution is much lower so taking things from it they might look real low quality as we don't have the original files that are in a resolution we need.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jb1986:
Tryed alot of roms make by some good cooks. With me and my wing I need something with lots of Ram speed. Found a lite rom but will not flash via sd or with flash center. I have downloaded a couple that will not install. I have been hard spl, took it back to stock rom and tryed to reinstall it again and will not work. Any one with a fast rom I would really like to try it if I havent already. I would really like something lite with more then 30MB in storage. I watch movies on my phone and the memory will run out and my movie will kick off.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Tribulattifather:
Try my:

[ROM]TribTitanium WM6.5.5 [RUU Version Build 23545]

If you can flash via sd card then try this one:

TribTitanium WM6.5.5 [SD Version Build 23545]
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jb1986:
cool but after updating to ur rom which was nice didnt have alot of ram. Storage 47.95MB Program 21.35. i need a little more program space. i have seen a lite rom with 84 storage and 40 something program but couldnt get it workin followed all steps in ur and worked this one didnt work.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Tribulattifather:
If you can only flash via RUU than this is the lightest ROM you're going to find.

But if you can flash via SD I have an even lighter ROM:

TribShell SD Version 1 Snark Edition [Build 23545]

Download TribShell SD V1 Here

(If you run Oxios you'll get [26.20MB Prog Mem | 72.12MB Stor Mem])

This is the only WM Pro 6.5 that is as light as it is. You will find other WMPro 6.1 ROMs that are a little lighter - like Ivan's Just Stable Micro

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Tribulattifather:
Uh, the reason it won't go on your Wing is because this ROM isn't flashable on the Wing. It's made for the HTC Touch Diamond. Only the ROMs that you find HERE are the ones that you can flash onto your Wing.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] jb1986:
no i was looking for something like that rom. i have one of yours and cant watch movies after loadin on the stock games plus uno and a weather app.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2imagination:
I know its been hashed a thousand times, and this thread can be deleted if its too redundant. I regret thoroughly getting the 2.1 leak on my wife's phone. I love my rooted eris and ELB rom has made it absolutely functional and keeps getting better with constant updates and feedback, while my wife's eris is stagnant and hopeless. Constant dropped calls, and sound outages, and I cannot get a replacement because Verizon's system doesn't show it on 2.1 so until it is (which cant be done because we cant get the OTA when you have the leak) they wont even consider sending a refurb. To make matters worse, even if I could get a refurb, they are coming shipped with 2.1 that cant be rooted. At least if I got a refurb and the problems continued we would be able to complain enough to get a discounted upgrade maybe. I don't think anyone is working on this issue anymore as the phone has been left behind in the dust without root, and I don't blame them. I would too if I was a dev. I will NEVER NEVER install another leaked ROM. I will always be patient enough to wait for root. Yeah Frisco you were right, and all the others that waited patiently. Sigh:( OK done venting. Now to go "accidentally" drive over my wife's phone and pay the damn insurance.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I too regret installing the leak, however I have had none of the problems you have described. My phone may be a bit sluggish at times, but I've never had a dropped call since I've gotten the phone, or any other problems for that matter. Sorry to hear your having ask these problems though.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I didn't have any problems whatsoever with getting a refurb while I was on leak. I called them up and mentioned having a couple of the common problems(I actually did have issues), told the guy that I had done the factory reset and it hadn't helped and the new phone was on the way. Sorry to hear that's not how it happened to work for you. Did they specifically say they could tell she wasn't on the OTA? I'm surprised they were able to tell with the similarities between the two versions. Maybe you can try and install the OTA manually on hers and A) see if it helps in general, or B) see if Verizon can tell she has the regular version then.

As far as I know, you cannot upgrade to the ota if you are running one of the leaked roms because of the hboot version.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
Acutally you can go OTA from one of the leaks, just not root from a leak. Now going OTA does not change the hboot version of the leaks, so even with the OTA you cannot leak. But if for some reason you want the OTA instead of a leak ( and with V3 leak they are the same anyway) follow this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695593 make sure to read it all, but from what I have read and understand that is the offical OTA release that can be manually installed on the phone, so if it ever needs to go back to verizon they cannot hit you for having unoffical software on the phone

If you want root that bad, you can do like I did. I had Leakv1 on my phone and just went ahead and loaded the new RUU OTA update onto it. Found someone on Craigslist that was willing to sell an eris that had the OTA on it for like $150 and ship it to me. Rooted it, then put my old phone on ebay for auction. It sold for like $170 with free shipping. Everyone came out happy and I got a rooted phone and like $10 in my pocket. :)

Be careful when buying phones on craigslist/ebay/etc. and look out for those Bad ESNs.

Anyway, just another option for ya...

[HD2 General] ArkAngel_X:
I'm somewhat new to the UI customizing and need some help to get the desired effect, here's what i want to do, i want to keep the HTC Sense all contacts page, (only cause the functionality is amazing) the htc video and music player, the htc calender, and the HTC settings page (but for it to be set up like the manila windows settings), but i want the home screen to be the Manila Win6.5 screen. any and all help will be appreciated.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I think you're getting the terms confused a little there (which is understandable with this stuff). Manila is just the name for the behind-the-scenes elements of what you know as Sense, which runs on top of WM.

Unfortunately, all of the items you mentioned there are part of Sense, and while you can turn off most of the other tabs you don't want, you can't turn off the home tab without turning Sense off altogether...and when you do that, you then can't access any of the other Sense functions (vid/music players, calendar, settings, etc).
[HD2 General] ArkAngel_X:
Okay, so is there and tweaks for WM that allow me to get the functionality like the mentioned features of the sense UI? or any that are better, cause as much as i love the SPB stuff, my dad uses it and i just wanna be different...or are there any tweaks for the sense UI that i can use to get what i want? because i kinda want plain WM homepage, but have the links on the homepage go to the parts of the sense UI? (i'll be happy to clarify anything i just said...
[HD2 General] toreone:
I noticed when I used the standard (titanium windows mobile) when I clicked on a few things they would go to the sence version of it but I dont think you can have both...search for titanium wm 6.5 themes and you might find something you like. Sense and SPB mobile shell are way different. Install this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625483 in my opinion much nicer than SPB mobile and you can still use all your sense icons...search it on youtube for demos
[HD2 General] ArkAngel_X:
I do like that one, and i know sense and SPB are real different, my dad uses it but i dont want to. D: BTW i got c0okies home tab that toreone suggested, and I LOVE IT! it gives me the freedom to customize it the way i want it, AND it keeps the functionality and the appearance of HTC sense. I <3 xda...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It's all clear, but that's the thing...aside from the messaging client in this build, there's no way to access the sense modules unless sense is running. And when sense is running, you can't access either the standard WM today screen, or the Titanium home screen (the new version of stock WM UI, also built in to your HD2).

Your next option would probably be to just find a 3rd-party app for each of the functions you mentioned...there's plenty of choices in each category, with the exception of the settings. For those, it's either the stock WM settings, or the sense settings, and it sounds like what you're asking for is kind of a hybrid of the two. Since the WM settings are available at the root of the start menu (if you don't have them there when you turn sense off, that can be added), that would be the easiest way to go with that. To find your options for media players and calendars, just do a search on the whole of the xda forums and you'll find a bunch. I don't know much about the calendar apps, but the most common media players in use around here include:

-nitrogen

-coreplayer/tcpmp

-kinoma

-pocket player

EDIT: in the time it took me to write all that, I see now that you've taken toreone's advice and found the joy of CHT...so it's probably a non-issue now anyways ;)

You can change the color and style of both of those with something like what you'll find in this thread:

This should not be happening on an EVO. This did happen when installing apps on my G1 from time to time, but that was just a lack of power. I have never had this issue on my N1. Even on my G1 it was normally a big app, or once I had lots of apps installed. (more crap running in the background) It may be worth it to try a good old fashioned WIPE and start fresh.

Not saying that will fix it. But when in doubt :p
