Damn, I was hoping that would work. Because I was planning on going home and trying to pus the epst.apk.. =[

Thanks for all the help bro.

Looks like FroYo/AOSP won't do any good for me because I need to do that techknowfile's PRL trick very often. (Going back and forth when I go over minute.)

So here are firstly the details

-------------------------------

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-ON H

HBOOT -1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

-------------------------------

As you can see above I have the engineering SPL but I am unable to flash via fastboot gives me the not verified error. I previously was stuck in a reboot loop which I finally got out by creating a goldcard and using 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip. I am able to use the phone but thats about it. There is no access to sd card I have tried numerous cards and they don't work.

From Inside the Phone:

-------------------------------

Firmware version: 1.5

Baseband version: 62.525.20.18U_3.22.20.17

Kernel version: 2.6.27-cb85e129

htc-kernel@and18-2 #3

Build Number: 2.53.707.2 146733 CL#37318 test-keys

---------------------------------

I would like to thank anyone in advance for their help. I have searched and been searching the forums for 2 days non-stop usually its stated that you need an Engineering SPL (which I guess I am already using) can't downgrade because I have no access to sdcard either. Please help........
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Try going here and grabbing the sappimg from there, load it onto your goldcard, and flash it from hboot the same way you did the first time. There's another guy I was working with on here that tried to use the same engineering SPL and it didn't work, but I don't know if he ever tried that one. The sappimg I'm referring you too is the same one I used when I rooted my phone. Give it a shot and let us know back here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] huzz:
Thanks a lot I am going to grab it right now. Will update in a bit.

*UPDATE:*

No difference same as before cannot access sdcard and same SPL & Radio. No changes... :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Alien-X:
Im a noob but I just recovered myself from a semi-brick.. What i did was to load the hero recovery back onto the phone via fast boot. flash hboot 1.76.2007 via recovery. Boot back into fastboot.

fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2005.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader

check that you are running hboot 1.33.2005 radio 3.22.20.17

then flash your rom..

worked for me, maybe it will work for you. good luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] huzz:
Thanks for your help but as soon as I try loading I get the verification fails

Any other ideas? Appreciate all the help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Alien-X:
flash 1.76.2007 via recovery, not fastboot.

Link for Hboot 1.76.2007 ZIP

http://www.4shared.com/file/211145376/3da88b40/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html

another reason it might not be working is becuz your doing 'fastboot flash flash"

which if correct it should be 'fastboot flash hboot'
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Alien-X:
Did this solve your issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] huzz:
Sorry wasn't around. Thank you for responding.

Your right I was not using HBOOT but it didn't make a difference I still get the verification error using fastboot.

As you suggested I should try updating using recovery but like I said the SDcard is not detected. I used the "fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0 boot recovery...*" and it detected the sd card when I try to update the using the zip file it gets stuck at Opening update package....

Any other options?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexNone:
Hello everyone

I rooted, unlocked the bootloader to install the recovery EPF21B and recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1, I had not changed my ROM. I followed the TUTO Modaco to unlock the bootloader and become root ( superuser.apk).

My question: Can i update manually to FROYO or have i to wait for the OTA update ?

Because I have errors when i update manually with the update.zip.

Verifying current system…

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't update through custom recovery with standard update.zip from Google, you need it repackaged. There is a thread in General section, listing all the available OTA updates, and it also has instructions for updating through custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexNone:

Its work very well !!
[Vibrant General] Mookie_Jones:
i made some changes online to my photos on picasa and deleted some directories but they are still appearing on my phone.. does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
[Vibrant General] kizer:
If I recall I just turned my phone off and when the media scanner checks they shouldn't appear any more.

Actually unless I'm bonkers, when you mount your SD card I think it forces the phone to do a media scan when you unmount your SD card from Mass Storage mode.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CGriffiths86:
I've been browsing through the Roms forum looking for a stock, fully functional 2.1 (non-Sense) rom that includes Superuser. The best I've found is ErisLightningBolt, but that is based off of Cyanogen. I also saw Senseless, but that seems to have never been updated from the initial version and still has bugs. Anyone know of a good Vanilla rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrozga:
try search.

EDIT: I just did a search of vanilla on the DEV thread and had 68 items found.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Didn't I post here already? Must have lagged or something.

Jrozga, those vanilla things aren't relevant to what he's looking for. There are very few vanilla 2.1 ROMs and most of them are lacking. I prefer vanilla but it's difficult to get 2.1 roms that way. If you're looking for a true vanilla fully functional rom I suggest Froyo CM6 or KF or CELB 6, all vanilla.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrozga:
Either way he's asking others to do the work for him without searching. Looking over 68 threads with vanilla in the title would provide him with all the roms he is looking for. And froyo is 2.2 aosp my friend. ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Of course it is. I'm just saying if you're looking for aosp the best we can offer is a 2.2 ROM. The 2.1 ROMs are just not up to par. Granted it's very difficult to make vanilla ROMs. I took evil eris and made it semi-vanilla when I used it but still, my point remains valid: 2.2 roms are the best aosp we have.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwade01:
Aren't these ROM suggestions bases off Cyanogen?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Kaos Froyo isn't I don't believe. It may have changed. The other two are though. Why don't you want cyanogen based? IT's still vanilla.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anom69:
Tainted Vanilla.. you cant go wrong with that.. Hoban knows how to make a rom.. and he made that 1 PERFECT!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CGriffiths86:
I don't mean to be a pain, but I have searched. I had only found a few Vanilla 2.1 roms, but most of them had bugs or still missing features. I mainly wanted a stock rom to maximize battery life. Right now I am using KaosFroyo and yes it is fast but my battery life is much worse then it was on the stock Sense rom. Either way thank you guys for the help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Sense uses more ROM, Froyo is really supposed to use much less bttery... try another froyo ROM. My suggestion is the one in my sig.

Otherwise try Plain Jane or CTRom. Those are good stock 2.1's.

I just want to add a nice App to this thread which i discovered back when i owned a HTC Hero :-

Picsay

It's a great little app that allows you to add some really neat and advanced effects to your photo's, speech bubbles, and other fun things - hats, beards, boggly eyes etc

It's a really great app and one that is really worth paying the few £ for.

You can get a demo version which is what i downloaded first and then decided to pay for the Pro version.

It's worked perfectly on every Android build i've tried so far!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thunerclaps:
I havent tried these apps yet on the Android HD2 port, but assume they will work as they do not require hardware not present on the hd2.

That said, some of the apps Ive grown to love everytime I use my Nexus One are:

-setCPU (requires root access. this app is used to set/manage your device's overclocked CPU and voltage)

-NetMeter (uses your devices LED in color codes to communicate the device's CPU utilization. runs in the backgroud but is smart on battery)

ex : <3% - off (Low)

3-15% - blue

16-40% - green

41-75% - amber

>75% - red (high)

-ColorNotes (simple notepad app for checklists, things-to-do)

-Shake em Live Wall Paper (not an app, wallpaper. uses basic law of physics to have a pile of ragdoll androids "move with the phone" in any direction. its cool to me.

-MicDroid (For those of you who like hiphop, this app is a voice synthesizer that will by default have you sounding like T-Pain --- similar to the i.am.tpain iphone app. You can set your recordings as your ringtone, etc.

- Barcode Scanner (uses you phone's camera to scan barcodes for price comparisons or to get an app from the Market)

I recommend them all, including the novelties.

Some good recommendations from other posts so far! Here's a few that hasn't been mentioned:

MUST HAVES:

* AppBrain - surf and install android market apps FROM YOUR PC, keep up with latest app updates. Free.

* Astro - easily the best Android file manager. Ad-supported with pay option.

Cool stuff:

* Cubed music player - Just check the #(*$& thing out. Free.

* RockPlayer - avi's, mkv's and the usual. Free (for now).

* Gesture Search (Google) - search apps/music/contacts on your phone with gestures. Free.

Anyways, there's a stupidly large amount of apps on Android and growing everyday. Go troll around the Nexus One / HTC Desire forums and check out the app recommendations and developments there :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] drblow:
Yeah, I tried launcher pro. It is good, but it's just a blank canvas and I just can't find widgets that look anywhere near as cool as the HTC ones. If there is a small performance penalty for getting the sense look then I will have to live with it. All the other rss widgets I have seen so far look very ... amateurish. And the HTC people widget is too nice.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
Oh yeah, almost forgot - quality keyboard (free):

* Swiftkey - just got released, really good text prediction.

If you're willing to cough up 2 bucks:

* Smart Keyboard Pro - seriously worth it - multitouch, smart dictionary, pretty good text prediction.

Hi,

Does anyone knows what append with Gameloft games when testing different ROMs?

Is it lose?

Can it be backed up and restored to the new rom?

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kameo:
YEs, you have to use Titanium Backup to backup, update your ROM and then restore the backups.
[Desire Themes and Apps] im_bol2riz:
Are you sure this will work ? I don't want to buy a game that I can't use anymore if I decide to switch from one rom to another and I've read that Gameloft have some kind of DRM which block the game.

Thx
[Desire Themes and Apps] djoni1980:
If you backup with titanium and copy sd content to pc, you can relax.

Even if you partition your card and change rom, everything will be there once you copy sd content back and restore it: saved profiles, files that you needed to download from the internet...
[Desire Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
everything you buy off the market is saved in your account history, kinda like on xbox live so even if you buy a new fone you can still re download all your apps, and even use paid apps on more than one fone :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Yes, but only a handful of Gameloft games are on the Market. The rest you can only get from Gameloft themselves, and they only allow a single download.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kameo:
Yes i'm sure about TB...otherwise i won't be answering.

Plus Gameloft manage most of their games from their website, not the market.

Some users reported that they had such an issue (didn't backup their games...) and they contacted them.

Providing the day/hour and purchase info they got everything back.

easy install of thai ( and possibly other ) fonts to android

hi guys, i realise this post is fairly old now, but i did a font install yesterday, so it may well still be relevent. after reading many forums etc i started trying to push with adb but for some reason it kept failing.

so, i had the

droidsans thai font pack

, looked at what was inside it, looked in my system fonts folder, saw they were all the same, so i thought, shall i?

so i made a copy of the system fonts folder, put the thai fonts on the phone sd card, used

root explorer

to copy and paste the thai fonts, overwrote the system files, rebooted, and crossed my fingers....

anyway, the phone rebooted, everything still in english ( good! )

went to my thai-english dictionary and phrasebook ( i live on koh samui ) everything was proper thai characters! success! i've rebooted a couple of times since, played with loads of apps and stuff, everything is working as it should.

so long story short, if consoles and commands and pushing files seems a bit daunting, then good ole copy and paste can work just as good.

final point...phone must be rooted, superuser permissions etc.

i did this on a ( former orange uk ) gsm hero running 2.1, installing thai fonts on it, tho i guess you could do it with any language. my only advice...backup, backup, backup! font files i used are attached, and so far my thai friends say they are perfect

hope this helps someone. i've had a lot of good advice from this forum, and if i can do one small thing to help someone else it will make me happy
