[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
Hi, i don't know if i am starting this thread in the right section, but here goes. I'm sure you very helpful people will assist me if not.

I have an HTC desire branded to Orange UK but i am wanting to flash/debrand it. The problem i am having is this:

Im following the instructions for flashing/debranding the desire on self titled thread on android forums.

In the first step "how to set up adb" I have done everything that it tells me to do on the page on the unlockr.com

But when i open the CMD and type in all the correct commands it says list of devices attached below, but it is just blank, i don't know what it is that im doing wrong, but i must be somewhere? I need this number to make the gold card don't I? Its obviously a problem with the drivers, am i correct in thinking that? so i uninstalled the drivers and HTC sync, and reinstalled them from the HTC site, but still no joy. I then opened the SDK and installed USB driver package, still no luck.

If anyone can think of what might be the problem, could you please help. I am a total n00b when it comes to android, but this process seems far from hard to follow, maybe this is where i am going wrong?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
have you enabled usb debugging in settings/applications/development? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
Sorry i knew i would forget something, yes i did/have enabled USB debugging, I'm getting really fed up with this now, do you think its something Orange may have done to prevent me from doing this?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
have u tried using adb while in recovery :confused: also make sure disk drive isnt enabled when ur phone is connected to the pc :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
just tried that and no its set to charge only, just been looking at the device manager, and when i checked the properties of "My HTC" i get this message

Would that effect the adb? sorry to be such a n00b, i only want to debrand my desire, its not as if i want to root and start installing different ROMs and stuff....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
you downloaded the adb tools to your desktop correct? something like android-sdk/android-sdk/tools/ ?

so cd (change directory) there using command prompt

when you are on the tools:/ directory type in 'adb shell'

you should now be able to write commands in a prompt starting with #

i have taken a screenshot of this done on a mac (it will be slightly different for Windows)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
Sorry mate, just seen this reply.

I cant post links on here, but i followed the instructions on how to set up adb from theunlockr.com They said that SDK should be downloaded and unpacke to the C: drive which i did, if you can have a look at that site you will see what i have done. Im thinking that there is some sort of problem with the drivers somewhere, i checked on my device manager and checked the properties of "My HTC" and it sates "windows cannot initialize the device driver for this software"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
are you using windows 7/xp/vista?

seems to me like your drivers did not install correctly.

plug your phone to your computer

go to control panel -> device manager -> find your phone

right click it and go to properties

go to driver and uninstall it

unplug your phone from the computer

restart your computer

plug in your phone again

wait for the driver to re-install.

if that doesnt work try installing htc sync
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
I'm on Vista 32 bit, This is what i have come to the conclusion, that its the drivers, i have uninstalled all drivers, HTC sync then reinstalled them plus reinstalled HTC sync, all with the same result, its even come to the point where i am sending an SD card to another person so he can make the gold card for me, just so i can flash the device. I will try what you suggested.

Thanks
[Legend General] SlimJimmy:
Hi guys.

Sorry for this noobish post, but i cannot remember for the life of me on how to install things by using 'adb' - i know there is an option on the phone, but where bouce is it? I used it when rooting, but i just cant find it.

I'm trying to install a new boot image, but when i go into cmd i type "adb remount" and the reply is "device not found"... AndroidSDK is in my C directory.

Another EDIT; I just rebooted my device into the recoverymode, and i didn't see ndroid back up thing, does that mean my phone hasn't actually been rooted...:confused: - But my phone is deffently debranded.

Thanks if anyone can help my noobish style.

Slim. :D
[Legend General] Liquid211:
When in recovery mode you must have the driver installed. If you enter 'adb devices' it should give you the serial number of your device, if the driver is installed correctly.

To enter the recovery menu you must run the recovery-windows.bat from modaco if using windows or a similiar file (recovery-linux.sh, recovery-mac.sh) according to your operating system. The file should be run when in recovery-mode or else it returns a whole bunch of errors.
[Legend General] SlimJimmy:
Awesome, thanks mate. Just what i needed! Could i have advice what driver i need to be able to acsess the adb? :o
[Legend General] Liquid211:
I just use the driver supplied in the newest version of ADB.

You can get it here. usb_driver.rar

Or else just install HTC Sync from htc.com. It also has the driver files needed.

Remember to have USB Debuging enabled from the Programs/Development menu.

Hi, Could someone please tell me the easiest way to unlock a Hero on Orange network uk, and then install android 2.1. I will be using a 3 sim in the phone.

I'm very new to all this, so please could you make it simple to understand.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wegiwegi:
Call CS, now Orange and TMobile are the same company, I know that TM will unlock your phone for £15 I guess that Orange should do the same, call them and find out
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Apparently there are sellers on ebay charging only £6 for network unlock codes,... definitely worth checking.

As for how to do it, insert your non-orange sim in handset, handset should prompt you to enter network unlock code,... If this prompt does not come up, you will need to use BTDAG guide linked in my signature for insructions on how to install custom ROMs, then try again.

Hi All AtomLifers,

After spending sometime cooking ROMs for AtomLife, I decided to create a tutorial for everybody who wish to learn on how to cook ROMs for our beloved ATOMLIFE. This is a simplified version in PDF format, for OFFLINE reading. You have to download ADOBE Reader to view the document.

I want to thank everybody here in xda-dev for the things i've learned, and i think this is the best way to repay for those knowledge.

DOWNLOADS:

1. bajok!_AtomLife ROM Cooking Tutorial.pdf

2. bajok!_kitchen and recipe.rar

3. Kitchen_seasoning.rar

4. Icons I used in my ROMs

...just extract these files and you're good to go...

Related Links:

1. For latest SYS and XIPs, here (by NRGZ28) or here (by Da_G)

2. For creating OEM, here by -G-

3. For better knowledge of EVK (Ervius Kitchen), here by +QUE PPC

Always remember that ATOMLIFE is QVGA.

WARNING: TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK...
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] bajok!:
TIPS and TRICKS

1. To make the ROM bootable, delete these modules from the MSXipKernel of every build you've downloaded:

- cachefilt.dll

- hd.dll

- initvmmap.dll

- mencfilt.dll

- osaxsto.dll

2. Suggested modules for recmodding: (under \SHARED\COMMON directory)

- Adobe Flashcodecs

- Adobe Flash

- Browsing

- BrowsingCore

- BrowsingIE

- GPSID

- IRDA

- Lockscreen

- Media OS

- Confetti Core

- SkyBox

- WindowsLive

- WindowLiveIM

- Internet Sharing

- CHOME

- WMWidgets

Note: Use the nueRecmode.exe provided in the zip file. Create a shortcut to your desktop. Drag the modules to the shortcut link. You will see the recmoded file inside the module. Move the recmoded file to your desktop, then delete the modules you recmoded. Move back the recmoded files from your desktop to the folder of the deleted modules.

3. The icons (\new dpi_96) in the iconpack.rar, can be copied to \SYS\2xxxx\dpi_96\COMMON\Base DPI_96 folder. This will change the MS icons.

4. If you want to put your name on the System Info, edit the file Version.txt under \OEM\Atomlife\COMMON\OEMDrivers folder. Look for the line:

1.1 ROM:WM6.5_21908.5.0.93_WWE_20100703_bajok!

5. If you want to create your own splash screen, find an image and set the size to 320 x 320 pixels. Save the file welcomehead.96.png. Copy the file to \SYS\2xxxx\dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\COMMON\Redist_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320 and overwrite the existing.

....more to come....

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nealhowden:
Hi All

I've been having awful issues with my Leo restarting randomly, even when i'm not actually using the device. It even goes into a reboot loop and never actually gets to windows and to fix i need to remove the battery for a min. I know that this is a widespread issue and a possible fix is to update the ROM.

Now I have been looking through the various custom ROM's and don't really know which to choose :confused: But during my browsing I came across a newer Stock ROM and wondered if this would be a better option?

My current version is RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32. 50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe.

The newer version is HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_ 15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe

It's an o2 business contract handset so am a bit concerned with using a custom ROM if the update doesn't fix the restarting issue and it needs to be returned to o2. Surely they'd realise that the device has been flashed and not fix under the warranty?

would experienced users please advise? :)

Cheers

Neal

I've just hard reset and formatted the SD card, connected to my pc and now its straight back in to the reboot loop. It is strange as I only had the problem start about a week ago after 6-8 weeks of use.

Gonna bite the bullet and go for a custom rom flash.

Hi everyone.

I've just debranded my HTC Touch HD from Orange UK using the Olipro unlock site.

It seems that it hasn't fully removed all traces of the Orange(ness). Upon startup I immediately got a problem with connection settings for data saying that I need the settings from my vendor. However, the settings screen still says "Orange Internet".

I can't yet connect to data using my O2 sim card, however, phonecalls are fine.

Is there more software I need to patch the phone with?

Thanks in advance. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renegadEEE:
I can't seem to find the answer anywhere so I'm asking here; will there be an official update in October for the Nexus One?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Google will be establishing a minimum specification threshold for devices to run Gingerbread and beyond. Chief among these are a 1GHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM and a display of at least 3.5″. So any device that doesn’t meet these requirements will be hitting the end of the line at 2.2 (barring intervention from the rom developers).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathwish238:
Actually, Google responded that those are just going to be recommended specs and not minimum specs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Let's think together for a second: what's the current Google developer phone that everything is tested on?

That should give you the answer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Exactly. The nexus will be the FIRST and ONLY phone to get the next update, its the developer phone, just like getting froyo. If and when Google gets a new developer phone, then maybe things change. For now nexus is the one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Are we really going to start talking about Gingerbread already?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
1) Gingerbread has never been confirmed to be 3.0. Don't spread this misinformation until we get word from Google exactly what version Gingerbread will be (could be 2.5 for all we know)

2) Those minimum specs were completely debunked by Google themselves as nothing more than completely made up lies.

3) Yes, IMO, the N1 will be the first device to see the Gingerbread update. But again, that's just my opinion.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
1. it doesnt really matter what version you call it. everyone thought donut was 2.0 and flan was 2.1......did it make a difference what you called it in the end?

2. google employees clarified and said they are recommended specs not min and none of it is official
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathwish238:
It hasn't been confirmed, but it has been referenced to be 3.0 in some phone press release talking about its update schedule. Can't get you a source as who knows which out of the hundreds of articles I've read it was.

However, given that it's supposed to be a major UI overhaul(they hired that Palm engineer for a reason!) and launch with the new music service and wireless syncing, I think it'll be reason enough to call it 3.0.

[Touch HD General] accountabc:
a Rom is basically the operating system on your device. You can compare flashing a rom to installing windows on your PC.

You could try flashing a rom with windows mobile 6.5. I recommend Kwbr's rom with Manilla 2.1 if you want speed. This rom has TouchFlo3D just like the rom you are using now. If you want your device to look like the HD2 you could try a rom with Sense 2.5. bear in mind that Sense2.5 can be a bit slow, since it was designed for a phone with twice the speed of our blackstone.

You can find the Kwbr thread here

If you want to flash a rom, you should start by reading this

Thank you for the info and recommendations. The Manila is probably the one I'd use.

[Desire General] kuztardd:
Since desire doesnt have the BTDUN can you explain a bit more as to how you did it..

I'm jealous!
[Desire General] A|ex:
Linking your phone via bluetooth to your tom tom shouldnt be a problem, what is a problem with the functionalty of the BT link, majority of phones will support calling and receiving via the tom tom, only a few phones will support read and send sms and an even rarer few will support live services (if your tom tom does not already have a built in sim).

The reason for this as mentioned before was BTDUN is old and no longer included. there is some software called PDAnet that includes BTDUN. Have you tried this yet?
[Desire General] kuztardd:
yeah, sadly i tried PDAnet but couldnt get it to work.. nearly, but it failed still, such a shame.. and im still in search of a solution as at the moment i have to remove my sim from my phone and use an old sony ericsson phone instead that does work..

still cant believe that tomtom cant update this, or that android cant work..
