Do you want the thread deleting now it is sold :)
[Desire General] CyberActive:
Hello All,

I am used to flashing my HTC Touch Pro 2 and other windows mobile devices, but i have just moved onto a desire and am having a nightmare.

I bought the Desire on PAYG from 3 in the UK as they were up to a point supplying unbranded phones, but just my luck I had to have one from the new batch which is branded and cost me £18 to get an unlock code to use the phone on T-Mobile.

So as I stand I have an Sim Unlocked Desire thats branded to 3 UK.

The Rom version is 1.22.771.1 and Hboot 0.80 which I believe is an issue with rooting so that I can use other Roms.

To be honest I am quite happy with 1.22.771.1, but have a strange issue that on some occassions when someone calls me the ringtone starts, but then cuts out and there is no further sound, although they are still calling and I can answer the call.

So I really want to root and then switch roms.

I have read and read and read, and I believe my best chance is unrevoked, as I have seen a couple of posts which say it works with 1.22.771.1, can anyone confirm this?

Also if I flash to a custom rooted Froyo 2.2 rom, will I still be able to return to 1.2x roms should I not like it? As I have also read that unrevoked, does not work with 2.2, or is this just if you use the OTA roms?

If anyone out there can give me a do this 123 guide to get myself sorted I would really apparciate it.

Thanks

Stephen.
[Desire General] mikecoffee:
Hi

The issue with the ring tone is due to a setting,

Setting > sound > quiet on pick up

In check this option

sent from my C64
[Desire General] mikecoffee:
SeArch for a guide, its easy.

But you can return to any Rom you like, as long as your rooted.

I mention this due to if download the new ota you will lose root, and I don't think a method has been found to root the new 2.2 Rom yet.

sent from my C64
[Desire General] mikecoffee:
Sorry on my desire, but if you install a 2.2 Rom from xda you won't lose root.

But if download via ota and install you will lose root.

sent from my C64
[Desire General] CyberActive:
So are you confirming I can root 1.22.771.1 with unevoked? Then install a rooted 2.2 rom?

Regards the Setting > sound > quiet on pick up should that be on or off? to cure the sound issue as i have that set as off.

thanks stephen.
[Desire General] CyberActive:
can anyone confirm, so i can have a go at sorting this today please
[Desire General] unnddd:
I can confirm that you can't, and I wouldn't recommend that you try. The clockwork recovery image that unrevoked uses never loads, so the phone can't be updated in any way.

What I tried was slightly more extreme. I attempted to downgrade the HBOOT version, so I could flash a lower version generic RUU ROM. Unfortunately, whilst this worked as far as I can tell, the screen simply stopped working. I could actually receive phone calls, but nothing would come up on the screen.

The bad news is that even after flashing back to the original Three RUU ROM, the screen remained blank. The good news for me is that I'm due to get a replacement phone under warranty.

Personally, I can't even tell if this is a software issue or a hardware issue unique to me (I think it might be hardware as I should at least be able to boot into the bootloader), although this time I'll wait for Three to push the update, as I'm not prepared to take the risk of not being able to use my phone again.
[Desire General] Rew64:
I had Hboot 0.80 on my Desire with 1.21.405.2 and I used the Unrevocked3 method to root. But mine was unbranded from Three.

I now have 2.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741775) with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 Radio.

All works great.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitterbuffalo77:
Hey Guys,

I have a G1 running the Cyanogen 6.0. It was working fine last nigh before i went to bed. Got up this morning and went to make a call and i got this error message:

the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again

So i rebooted figuring i hadn't done it in a while and that would do the trick. Phone reboots and still had the error and it wouldnt go away. So i decided id just reflash, went to reboot into recovery and now its just stuck on the Tmobile G1 screen. Cant get into recovery no matter what i try, and now i cant even get back in period.

Any thoughts here? Is it finally bricked?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribalartgod:

Ok so in all the leak excitement going around I missed this. Was the official 2.6.32 kernel source released by HTC or do we in some way have this source?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosine83:
Q&A is over there ----------->

And no, the source has not been released. They, legally, have 30 days after OFFICIAL release of the software to open source it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
I knew somebody was going to say something about Q&A. This is a dev question therefore it belongs in the dev forums. Besides,

<------------------------ Douchebags over there

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strung:
I think legally it's supposed to be released immediately. The GPL says nothing about 30 days

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
lol Guys, let's just ignore the GPL. HTC does. I'm serious. There's no sense in arguing over the GPL because it doesn't matter to HTC. My question was answered. I saw some FroYo kernels for Sense 2.2 and was just wondering if it was 2.6.29 or 2.6.32. Question answered. Thread over. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
I thought those roms weren't using the right kernal source (hence 3mp camera, etc).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
They are using an older leaked kernel. The latest OTA officially isn't out yet (which you already know) and that means the latest kernel and it's source is yet to be released. Once the New official OTA Froyo comes out, the newer kernel source will come after that, and then they will have everything working 100%. Now, they may get everything working beforehand, but I'm just saying at the very latest that is when everything will be working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saipoob:
I already emailed HTC about releasing the source by the way. Here's the response:

I don't know where this "requirements of the open source community" comes from though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
It means before the open source community gets too pissy. So long as they release within that timeframe, any legal action would it be pursued immediately after release of the build without source wouldn't have gotten anywhere before any issues were entirely mitigated by the release of the source.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleblakepeters:
Looks like a question...is phrased like a question...Hell, it even has punctuation like a question. I'm going with a question that should be in Q&A.

Whether or not the question has to do with the development or not, it's still a question... Now, if the question has to do with something specific IN the Development forum, then it belongs in that specific thread, NOT in a new post.

If you were posting a link or actual source for this, then it would be development material. But there is no material, no link, no anything, it's just a question.

This forum is for developers to post roms, source codes, modifications and other things of that nature.

The Q&A Forum is basically for ANY AND ALL questions that do not pertain to a specific thread already listed here.

It's not rocket science.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Whenever I reboot the phone, all of my home page widgets are reset and I have to reload them. This is also happenning after I unount the phone after mounting it as a disk drive. What's also wierd is that some of my preferences, like launcherpro or swiftkey, have to be reset after rebooting or unmounting also. Swiftkey specifically is wierd, because I can't just hold a text box and change the imput settings, I have to relaod the app, and go through the process from scratch.

I've been loading a bunch of roms lately, and I originally thought it was a rom issue, but its happenning on any rom I load (and I always do a full wipe before loading a rom). Is there something on the sdcard that I should clear?

It's hugely frustrating - any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Are you running FroYo with the widgets installed to the SDCard?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trobb09:
Move all the widgets to the phone off of the SD card for smoother performance and less hassle. You might benefit from a faster microSDHC card other than the Class 2 card that came with the phone. I am purchasing a 16GB Class 10 card for 90 dollars but a Class 6 card will be leaps and bounds faster than your Class 2 card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Thanks guys - that was exactly it. I moved the problem widgets to the phone from the sdcard, set them all up again, rebooted, and everything was still there!

Thanks again!
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I transferred a bunch of music over using MediaMonkey, but most albums are missing album art. All the folders have a *.alb file, but no album cover shows up when i use the music player.

I have used MP3tag to view my tags, but nothing stands out as bad. 2 albums with all fields filled in, one shows album art, the other doesn't. Out of 20 albums i transferred over, only 4 show album art.

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT - other issues include "unknown artist" and it seems to be M4A files (AAC) Only.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
I too use mediamonkey and the best way to have album art show for a song is to embed that art directly into the song's file. To do this in mediamonkey, sort by album, then highlight all songs of the same album and right click and press auto-tag from web. It will try to find the album art and you will embed it directly into the song. That way any media player will be able to show the album art.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have done this and then re-synced. I see the tracks copied over - but still no album art. Very strange.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Solved it - also the unknown artist issue.

If I used MP3Tag and remove all tags, then save the files. Then use MP3tag to add new tags (pulled from Amazon); then save; then copy to phone all is good.

For some reason, Media Monkey is NOT refreshing what it sees, so it is not really copying the retagged files over to the device. Even if do a rescan, it isn't updating. Changing tags in MediaMonkey was not fixing it either.

Also, updating tags in MP3tag was not fixing it - i had to remove, save, add, save.
[Touch HD General] natstally:
Hi, i really didn't want to start a new thread but i have tried searching and can't find anything.

I've recently discovered the joys (and the curse) of flashing cooked ROMs. I've been enjoying the Energy ROMs but i can't get email to work so i thought i'd try back on stock ROM where it always worked fine before.

I've looked at the guide on how to go back to stock ROM, I've flashed the Stock ROM (Orange UK) and am trying to put the stock SPL (1.14) back but keep getting "Error 208 File Open" when i run the Unsigned Hard SPL that i downloaded from the guide.

(as i understand the guide, i click on the Unsigned HSPL, but before letting it do anything after extracting the files, i replace the SPL version with my Stock version and then allow it to continue)

It extracts the files but i get the error messege and can only Exit.

What can i do?
[Touch HD General] akada:
I think that Stock ROM overwrites HardSPL and at this moment You've got Stock SPL - check in bootloader.
[Touch HD General] natstally:
Nope, still on 1.56 OliNex, installing stock ROM installs the stock Radio with it but not SPL.

I flashed the latest radio and wimax the other day, since then I have seen:

-signal drop completely

-pandora having serious problems streaming

-increased battery drain

None of these problems were present with the previous radio and I didn't go anywhere new. I couldn't check my time w/o signal because that resets when you plug it in. I'm very unhappy with the radio and would like to flash back to the previous radio/wimax.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonjacobmoon:
Does anybody have a good app that will back up the entire phone... especially the apps and settings.... to an online cloud. The really ideal way would be for it to backup to my home machine via blue tooth or wifi.

Ideally, the backup app would have a scheduler so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

The closest thing I found was myBackupPro, but I tried the free version and it didn't work. Told me that I had to purchase the pro version to get enough online space to back up my phone. Stupid.

Anyway, if you have a recommendation, I would love to hear it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
My backup pro is great and worth it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonjacobmoon:
There has to be something else. Its hard to trust an app where the free "trial" version doesn't even work as expected.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sbean:
You can always uninstall and get your money back if it doesn't work how you expected in 24hrs
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonjacobmoon:
1) Why the hell would I try and application when the trial doesn't work? Refund or no. And, I am more than likely not going to need to reinstall the backup within 24hrs..... at least I hope not. AND, the only way to test it is to do the factory reset and then hope the backup works. Why bother when the free trial fails??????

2) There must be an alternative that is more trustworthy?

Is this thread surveyed by mybackup pro shills?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Cease to amaze. You asked for help and suggestions for apps. I've used the app on my G1, MTS, and now the Vibrant and it replaces everything. Including location of homescreen icons, settings, contacts, apps (short of protected ones), etc...

And the trial is to give you a feel for the app btw...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
You can also try Lookout, don't know that it backs up apps, but does backup data. Will TEST FOR YOU now...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parmijo11:
Ok, lookout only backs up contacts and pictures. Sorry, my backup pro is probably gonna be your best solution... Take it or leave it...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I would recommend Titanium Backup, and then you can copy your backup files to the cloud through Dropbox. It's not an all-in-one solution, but it should work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lp894:

I wouldn't be surprised if their idea is to provide a new update that plugs whatever root exploits are found in the leaked update.
