[myTouch 3G, Magic General] strimble:
I've tried digging around on my own to figure this out, but I haven't found a solid answer, and I really hope someone will help!

Would I be able to take an unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch 3G to Egypt with me and open up a service plan with Vodafone Egypt for local phone and 3G internet?

I hope the answer is simply yes, but here are a few more specific concerns:

1) Is there a difference between being unlocked from HTC and being unlocked from T-Mobile? Are those two separate things? (The one I am looking at says in the description that the unlock code was received and used from HTC, and I just want to make sure that it is really completely unlocked.)

2) Can I stroll into a Vodafone Egypt store with my unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and buy a plan for local Egyptian phone and 3G internet? In other words, does Vodafone Egypt require one of their official phones, with the Vodafone logo on the top, for them to treat me like a normal customer? (I am going to be in Egypt working as a teacher for the school year, and I would like to take out a contract just like a normal resident for the year if I can.)

3) Will an unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch 3G function properly on the Vodafone Egypt network? Are there any technical or software differences between the United States MyTouch 3G and the Vodafone Magic that might pose a problem for phone or 3G use?

4) Now I'm getting greedy, but here's one more question: Will any phone that is technically specified to work in Vodafone Egypt's network (proper band frequency, 3G capable) be eligible for a normal local Egyptian phone and 3G plan from Vodafone Egypt as described above? Or will it only work for phones that are specifically listed as part of Vodafone Egypt's current line-up?

Thank you in advance for your help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
1) No difference, it's either SIM locked or it isn't.

2) Yeah you should be able to get a SIM only plan which is meant for any phone. Only thing is they probably wont have the exact apn settings for the Magic (I don't think Voda sell the Magic in egypt), only generic ones but they will still work.

3) Just find out the bands the MT3G and Vodafone Egypt uses...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] strimble:
Awesome, thanks for the help. Egypt is 3G 2100 so I think I'm good!

I set up a facebook account in the account and sync section so my contacts could be linked together.

Basically its not syncing because it says I have no friends. I know I do because I can open th efacebook app and see all my friends through there.

I used these instructions to "start over"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

Everything else seems to work just fine.

Any idea whats' going on?

FRIENDSTREAM is syncing just fine. why not my contacts? =/

I'm here waiting for the new release......
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Zip now available

Cab will be here in the next hour... but...

This is major move from Eclair to FroYo, and it's slightly slower than the Eclair release (so far).

This is normal though, since many of the Eclair release issues where ironed out, but with FroYo we take a small step backwards before we can progress again...

This release is VERY untested... I used it for 30 mins on a Blackstone only... no other devices tested yet

There is newer system version

Hi,

there is new system version:

XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.18.7.10.RC1.system.ext2.7z

Link: http://htcandroid.xland.cz/XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.18.7.10.RC1.system.ext2.7z

I'm using this and works like charm!

This includes 19.7 system. You posted a bit too quickly, I was still editing stuff !
[Touch HD Android Development] jura55:
Hi,

many thanks for quick explanation and I'm sorry for so quick reply :)

Will be Sense UI included in this build?

Or where can I get Sense UI for Android?

Many thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
looks like just an update from 2.1 to 2.2 - no bug-fixes or new working features, right?

downloading now to have a play :)
[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
OMFG!! YES!! :D

android 2.2 has calendar sync to exchange (2007) natively!. this release has hammered yet another nail into WM coffin! :D

also it looks like my 2.1 install was broken - seems noticably faster and touchscreen seems to be working a bit more predicably.

[Touch HD Android Development] veehexx:
thanks for marketplace fix. i too was having the same issue!
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
No it does not have Sense. Why would you want it?

You can get virtually all the same widgets from other sources. Sense is a massive resource drain (esp on XDAndroid), and on non 3D supported hardware

If you want the flipclock, you can get it from multiple places, the wallpaper, the wallpaper, and similar widgets are all floating around too.

[Droid X General] dvation191:
Freakin awesome - has anyone tried it yet?
[Droid X General] navychief52:
Yea,

It seems to work.

I've removed CityID, Blockbuster, and Skype in adb after the install.
[Droid X General] dvation191:
I'd love to try it but I'm not able to get the ADBDriver_v3_Google.zip attachment you supposedly need to do it.
[Droid X General] navychief52:
This is what I used, I'm sure a moderator will remove it if this shouldn't be posted, and if so, sorry.
[Droid X General] benlane:
Wow - this works!!!

Got Wifi Tether working like a champ.

Cannot make the following work. Do we need to make it work?

1) Dial ##778, SEND

2) EPST dialog comes up. Select 'Edit Mode'. Enter SPC (000000), hit OK.

3) Scroll to down to 'Security', select it. Change 'S.IP DUN User name' to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com (from yourvzwnumber@dun.vzw3g.com)

4) Hit back arrow to go back and go/select 'M.IP Default Profile'. Change 'DUN NAI' to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com (from yourvzwnumber@dun.vzw3g.com)

5) Hit menu button, and 'Commit Modifications', phone will save changes and reboot.

Do you just need to install the apk?

Never rooted before so wasn't sure if it was that simple.

Thanks

Edit: Never mind, over at the other site ans see the directions.

Are you sure Verizon isn't going to charge for WiFi tethering just because it's rooted?

umm, why the hell would you want to get rid of su? its not illegal, these aren't iphones. I cant wait to get home tonight to root mine, wireless tether here i come, screw you vz, i'm not paying extra :P
[Droid X General] dwd3885:
if you have an issue with the phone and need to return, can you return it being rooted?
[Droid X General] dwd3885:
how would they know if you are rooting if you use the WiFi Tether app?

code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether
[Droid X General] navychief52:
I forgot the name, but it is obvious in the ls listing, so replace <blockbuster> with the actual name from the ls command

adb shell

su

cd /system/app

ls <find the blockbuster.apk >

rm -r <blockbuster>.apk

Then I went into menu->settings->Applications->Manage Applications

Selected the blockbuster app, and deleted it.
[Droid X General] dvation191:
At first read I thought the post was about using the built in wifi tethering, not the google code app. Misread, apologies.
[Droid X General] rdr0b11:
Actually, rooting voids your Verizon Service Contract as well as your Motorola warranty (you're "modifying" the device), technically speaking.

If you're on Verizon month-to-month, I would guess you're also violating the terms of service for that as well (though I'm not certain on this one).

Of course, I assume there's no reasonable way for them to actually tell if your device is rooted (remotely), and if you unroot and factory reset, no way for them to tell it ever was rooted in the first place.

I will say if anyone would try to make sure they're getting their tethering cash, though, it's Verizon. I expect the Droid X official Froyo update will address the exploit Birdman's root uses.

Though hopefully it will have its own fun-filled vulnerabilities to exploit.
[Droid X General] dr154:
So since no one answered my question means no knows how to unroot this beast yet.
[Droid X General] Cerinin:
I'm also interested in rooting my Droid X. I've been searching for guides and how-tos, and while the blog echo-chamber is rife with claims of people having rooted the Droid X, all the methods I've tried fail with the most recent 2.2 version and the rev 8 SDK.
[Droid X General] aut0tek:
There are countless how-to's to root the DX 2.2... Pick one.

BTW, This thread died more than 4 months ago.
[Droid X General] Cerinin:
Thanks for the useless reply. I've tried a half-dozen how-to's, and Windows and Linux platforms, even the lame "GUI-one-click-that's-all!!!?!!11?!1" methods, and none work with the current updates.
[Droid X General] aut0tek:
It wasn't useless, as the answer is in it. Sure, cop an attitude when you resurrected a 4-month old thread.

Step 1. GO TO GOOGLE.

Step 2. type: "Droid X 2.2 root" (without quotes) in the search box.

Step 3. Click: "Google Search"

Step 4. Pick a link, click it, and follow the instructions. The top link works fine.

...Back to you in the studio.
[Droid X General] Calvinosaurus:
I just got a DX today, and used the app in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953 this thread (z4root) to gain root. I installed all the latest updates and then sideloaded this and ran it, and it worked just fine. Good luck dude
[Droid X General] Cerinin:
Yes, I know how to use Google. I've already tried that how-to, which is over 3 months old and no longer works. "adb is not a recognized program". Even adding the platform-tools directory to my path, which is where adb is now located in the current Android SDK, doroot.bat still fails. It hangs waiting to reconnect to my phone after the initial upload.

I've tried other how-to's and the results are similar.

So which makes more sense, starting yet another new "How do I root my Droid X?" thread, or post to an existing one where hopefully the right people are already subscribed to?
[Droid X General] drewlamo1:
when i did the update to .340 i lost root. Just use z4root believe its free on the market or google it. i believe you have to run it then reboot and run it again.

it froze on me the 1st time so yea i rebooted and bam it worked.

pick the permanent<sp> option.

this is a flashable theme, via recovery but the battery icon isn't included

but this is just a rar file and not flashable

Yeah the rar file is not in a flashable format. It is not a zip and does not contain the proper file system structure.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michealjohn:
I have given my HTC Touch Dimaond 2 hand et to HTC service center for service the following problems in the handset, since it is still covers the warranty period :)

1. Black circle dots in the screen suddenly

2. Phone is getting hanged frequetly..while incoming call, it's keep on ringing and not responding and need to soft reset/remove the battery.

Before I given to them, my phone is upgraded with Offical HTC Windows 6.5 ROM (while I bought , i think it has been installed with OS 6.1) and they have told they will wipe out all the data during the service and I too agreed.

I have got my handset serviced and noticed all the screen look and feel are different and below is the Software information. I want to know what is the current OS it's using. Whether it's latest version?

I like some of the settings in the current ROM and not sure whether it's latest one or need to upgrade it to the newer version. And i want to go with the offical HTC Latest ROM version and also should consider the newer ROM version should not have any performance issue for this model.

Since my mother is using this phone, she might not be in position to tweak it frequenlty.

I want to know what current OS version has been installed? Is there any where I can able to see it?

Another doubt:

I have seen lot of threads here on disabling the data connection and using the WIFI alone. Last month, I have turned on my WIFI connection and browsed a lot and even downloaded with my WIFI, but not sure when this data connection is automatically turned on and I had to pay a $50 for 10 MB..

After that I afarid to browse even with WIFI. IS there any way to make sure completely turn off the data connection and use WIFI always? even I used TD2 tools, but not sue how this data connection is turning on..

You are on the latest OS version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michealjohn:
thanks bruce. Is it Windows 6.5 or 6.5.5?

And in this ROM, I couldn't able to see the list of running/active programs.

In my previous ROM (as in signature), in the top right corner I have arrow and it will show the list of active running applications to switch. But I am not having this in thies latest OS. Whether the options are changes or any other way we can switch to different running application. In task manager, I can ableto see all the running application, but I can't switch over to other applications.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
If your start menu is on the bottom, its 6.5.3

MS removed the Task Manager accessible from the top right corner in 6.5.3.

I suggest using Quick Menu, which will place an expandable Windows like start menu accessible from the top left corner (and hardware key if you map it) and lists your running programs to switch or kill.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michealjohn:
Bruce,

My Start button is at top left croner.

How to do map it? What program I need to select in the quick menu?

I have another doubt, my battery is very hot even I browse for short while.

Before I don't have this issue. Whether the OS upgrade will cause this issue?

Or I need to change the battery?

Hi,

I can't download any file from my FTP server with Resco Explorer. I can connect me to the server and see all files and paths. Also I can rename, delete and upload files. But I'm not able to download from FTP servers. Every time I get an error message, "Unknown path - unknown error". Is there a solution to solve this problem or is this a general problem? I use the HTC HD2 and Resco Explorer v8.05. But it is still the same with the old v08.01.

Thanks!

anny ideaas ? ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elinsa:
If you would have searched just a little...

Either way.

Volume Down + Home Button + Power button. Keep them pressed for atleast 6 seconds. That will basically softreset your phone and get it into Download Mode.

What is going wrong? Can anybody please give some advice? I read threads and guides but I don't know how to solve this...I believe my earlier attempt to flash the phone went wrong..:(

The first time I flashed I used JG5, but after a flash the phone did not start normally..no normal homescreen etc. Now it cant start at all..

I am trying to flash it again, but nothing happens..

im trying to post a screenshot which im not allowed to do apparantly..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alain57:
I already had this problem too, and naturaly tried two things

A: remove battery => useless

B: hold on the download mode keys => after a few seconds it worked ^^

but just in case, what is this hard reset that you are speaking about ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaltaSoron:
This is what I did so far, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Step by step:

1. Loaded PIT (version 513) and PHONE / CODE / SRS in Odin

2. SIM and SD card phone

3. Download-mode phone

4. Connected phone to PC

5. Flashed phone (JG5)

6. Flashing done, rebooted phone

7. Android screen appeared with a number of options (update file / ...)

8. Pressed the Home-button (one of the options chosen, can not remember for sure ..)

9. Rebooted phone but does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo

10. After this nothing happens ..

11. put phone in recovery mode (hard reset)

12. put in download mode (soft reset)

13. tried to re-flash procedure but did not start

14. Kies reinstalled

15. Restarted PC

16. Reconnected phone

17. Tried other USB ports

18. Flash-process started again but no progress

19. Started again from step 1 (now with PIT 512 and firmware WJM1 PIT)

20. Now flash did start

21. Restarted phone, again same screen from Step 7

22. Chose repartion-option and then rebooted

23. Restarted phone again but progress does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo

24. After this nothing happens again ..

I'm using Windows 7 64bit..Geez, ealier I had no problems at all with flashing my old samsung jet..

Would it be possible that my galaxy S is just like dead or something? :confused:

Does it hang on the logo screen or does it close the logo screen and then hang?

After flashing it does stay on the logo screen for a while, 5-10 minutes sometimes.
