[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
That is correct but if you'd read all threads/information logic would dictate that perhaps it's wise to make a note of what it comes with out the box and make sure you have a back up route in case things go pear shaped/need to be reversed. If all you've done is root the phone and not flashed a ROM then you can still check but if you're now on a custom ROM then you're kinda screwed (unless you just wanna be on an unbranded ROM then you can obviously so this).

Easy way of at least finding out if you're branded or not is to just try and flash a stock WWE RUU without a gold card - if it completes then you're unbranded

Yes, I was a n00b once (Android n00b April this year) but I didn't ask any questions - I just lurked and read other posts and learnt by others mistakes and only asked if I wasn't sure what I was doing. I've had previous mobile phones and so knew about checking version numbers so always make sure I know what I have before trying anything like rooting (or the equivalent term for other makes)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Thank you Eddie.

As a matter of fact, I haven't rooted the phone yet: still in the info gathering stage as I just purchased the phone a month ago. I come from "stupid" phones so never had this problem/opportunity before.

I know for a fact that my phone is not branded, but I don't know:

1) which is the software + radio I should download to restore my phone in case I don't like what I get with rooting;

2) which rom to install: in this specific case, the more you read, the more you get confused. I read some people installing the same rom and one saying it is slower than Luancher Pro + stock rom, others that claim that it is faster than anything they've ever tried (and, mind you, they are talking about the same rom!)

3) last but not least, all guides I found in Italian are relative to using unrevoked with windows 7, while I still run xp and it seems that xp poses some additional problems. I just created a virtual machine on my pc to start using ubuntu, but I never even seen the thing!

However, thanks for the help and sorry about being a little snappish in my previous post. I guess we all approach this problem with different attitudes: some would like it to be a real one-click easy procedure and so keep on asking until they find somebody who does it for them!

Ciao

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
Yeah I agree to anti-n00b remarks are getting really old. I'm sure many of us have tried searching threads and doing the right thing, so can we all just get over it? I've offered 6 times now to help create FAQs and not one of the anti-n00bs has offered to help.

Anyway, so I understand then that for those with unbranded / unlocked phones it is a simple matter to restore to factory state. Just thinking in case the USB connector broke or something, which worries me a lot because often connections are rather wobbly although I'm not sure how much that has to do with cheap cables or what.
[Desire General] mitchsub:
on the edge of updating to froyo at the moment but might wait a week or two for the little problems to get ironed out..

just wondered though if they have improved the Bluetooth on the phone ?

I have heard a few people having problems with the HTC implementation of it and have myself a device with pairs but does not connect

thanks

[Desire General] KriXou:
hi mitch,

bluetooth issues are still there after official htc 2.2 froyo update.

I have a Logitech diNovoMini keyboard that can pair but not connect to my desire.

Bluetooth woes

I have just bought a Linx B-Tube. It should function as a bluetooth headset (only it has a speaker). I was hoping to pair it with my Desire which was running Cyanogenmod RC1. I couldn't get it to pair so I decided to make the leap to the nightly to see if it made any difference....nope!

I can see the device and I am prompted for a passcode for connecting. When I enter the code it just goes back to the original screen and doesn't pair.

I have also tried pairing to my MacBook pro with the same result..

Any solutions would be much appreciated
[Desire General] handfish:
I have a Vodafone unbranded HTC Desire running Froyo, and I have a similar bluetooth problem. It really sucks. My Plantronic bluetooth headset can pair and connect with the phone without any problem. The connection is fine and will automatically be re-established if the headset is in range. However, occasionally, yes, occasionally, the headset will be detected and connected, but can NOT be used. I can see the icon that shows that the bluetooth headset is connected. However, clearly the phone voice output is for whatever reason NOT routed to the bluetooth headset, and hence I can't talk using the headset. I found that once I got this issue, the only way to solve it is to unpair and re-pair the bluetooth headset.

Very annoying. These days software quality control is very poor.
[Desire General] seedar:
Hi my problem is different. both with Android 2.1 and 2.2 my bluetooth headset (Blueant Q1) works fine except when the Wifi Connects to a new hotspot. When this happens teh bluetooth headset discoinnects and then reconnects : (

Maybe I should be happy it works most of the time listening to previous posters !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fllash:
In DeFrost, the LED flashes different colours for notifications and charging and what not. Is it possible for these to be implemented in Open Desire?

Is it a kernel thing?

Or does the configuration lie in /system somewhere?

(Or is it a combination of both)

Thanks,

Josh.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatzzCat:
AFAIK there is a LED patch for some android kernel-sources, that makes this possible.

Unfortunately I can't even find this for the kernel I'm working on, so I don't believe it's out for the OpenDesire Kernel by now

I use MCR r5 2.2. it works well. but when I turn on EDGE/3G, my phone reboot alltime. if I turn off EDGE/3G, it stops booting loop(tried 2 3 times to turn off edge/3g).

I tried another ROM 2.2, another Radio, but there's nothing changes, phone reboot itself. even more seriously,sometimes when I go to recovery mode, it still reboot itself here and freezing. I must pull out battery and try again. :(

information about my desire( rooted/ no lock fone):

baseband: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08

kernel 2.6.32.15-g1fc4045

htc-kernel@and18-2#1

build number 2.06.832.1 cl207528 test-keys

MCR r5

when I flash new ROM: I wipe system/Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik( I dont know I wipe Dalvik correctly or not, because I can not see any information about successfully wipe Dalvik :( ), format ext, flash new ROM, new radio. is it correct?

i have tried radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04, 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.

any advice for me? sorry my bad English :(
[Desire General] bestofstrongman:
any help for me :(. should I try up kernel? My phone is still rebooting now :(
[Desire General] bestofstrongman:
:(( Im so confused... I have tried to up ROM again and now it is freezing at HTC screen... what can I do now :((.
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
Can't help you with a direct solution, but I do know that it's not needed to flash the radio every time you flash a ROM.

To end the bootloop I suggest you try it without the ext partition.
[Desire General] bestofstrongman:
thanks for your advice... :). i format my sd card with full FAT32( delete Ext2) and the phone boots again( now I use MCR 3.1 radio 4.06.00.02_2, not use froyo :( ). It went to home screen and looks fine. but sometime it reboots itself. I pulled out sd card and SIM but it still reboot sometimes. :(

sometimes loop booting, the phone vibrates 7 times quickly at HTC screen after that, it freezes. I must pull out the battery :(
[Desire General] bestofstrongman:
any advice for me?

anybody see the phone go to recovery mode, but sometimes it reboot itself quickly 7 times( vibrate 7 times in 1 2 seconds) and freeze...

I see an "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" in recovery mode when I press + button? what is it?
[Desire General] acolwill:
put your microSD card into a PC using an adapter and run a chkdsk on it

start -> run or start -> search (on vista/7)

type in: CMD and press enter

then type in: CHKDSK X: /f /v /r (where X is the current drive letter assigned to your microSD)

If you're literate enough in linux, and you have an ext2/3 partition, you can also run e2fsck on that partition

from your favourite shell:

e2fsck /dev/sdX2 ( where X is the current device letter assigned )
[Desire General] Heppieboeddah:
Are you still able to get to the recovery and stay in the recovery? If so, in recovery go to the option format. Format youre sdcard, swap=0, ext2=512, remainder is fat32. Then upgrade the ext2==>ext3.

Go back to the mainscreen in the recovery and press usb-toggle. Then copy the rom from youre pc to youre sdcard. If done press trackball to disable usb-toggle.

It also might be that youre sdcard is corrupt as poster above me wrote

Then flash the rom and see what happens.
[Desire General] onenew:
I am having the same issue. All new radio (for 2.2 froyo) will cause random reboot during 3G usage.

The easiest way to reproduce the problem is to keep browsing google map for a few minutes using 3G connection.

Flashing froyo custom rom with old radio (4.06.00.02) does not have this issue, but losing camcorder features...

Anyone idea for this?
[Desire General] stuegg:
sounds similar to my problem (for which i have a partial solution):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7533671&postcount=220

Maybe one of the radio images updated something which shouldn't be updated?

I think this is a general software problem which is pushing the hardware to its limits however people seem to think it is purely a hardware issue.
[Desire General] ryanbell:
I had the same issue. After trying everything to fix the problem fully bricked my phone to where it wouldn't even start. I personally its all hardw are.. got my phone replaced and now works fine... I spoke to my carrier and they did say some of the desires just have issues

If possible replace the device , if not I hope u guys eventually sort it out
[Desire General] bestofstrongman:
thank all for your attention.

I flashed my phone to MCR 3.1 with radio 4.06.00.02( of course wipe everything). it boot well, to home screen :) . but sometimes it still reboots itself( now it's on 2.1, not on froyo 2.2 any more)

in recovery mode still have: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

anybody meets the phone vibrates 7times( reboot) at HTC screen then freezing?

Hello all,

i'm running root with leedroid 1.7.

now i've used facebook on i believe defrost and i had some great sync options like, sync current contacts, which I'd like as to be honest a lot of my friends on fb are through a sport I play and we don't speak outside of the sport, so I don't need everyone listed in my phonebook.

the default facebook app in sense and the one on the market both have either sync or don't sync.

Is there a special fb apk I can use, or is this a strange sense limitation. I have twitter running too and I have the options I mentioned, but not for facebook.

TIA

So I have Unrevoked3, and want to update OTA, I don't need root anymore.

However, when I update it goes to start the update, then I get a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and an android, it just sits there til I pull the battery.

I want to be sure this is just an issue with needing to unroot, and not something else.

If its just an unrooting issue, how do I unroot from Unrevoked3? All the unrooting topics I've found were for toast or simpleroot.
[EVO 4G General] Shaihalud9:
Btw, the RA is Clockwork recovery.

Pretty sure all you need to do is put the update on your SD card, flash it, and then you're done. You'll lose root, but it should work that way. YMMV and all that.

The Droid X keyboard (I found nothing special about this)

The Default Android Keyboard, and a modded one with voice input.

I have also attached a modded HTC keyboard that I found to work with our phones.

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Hellraz0r:
After playing around with a few things I have discovered the following:

The default Android, Droid X, an EVO keyboards all install with the same package name. What does that mean?

If we don't push them into system/app or data/app we can only use one at a time if we install using Astro or similar.

I'm not going to give u instructions for using ADB in recovery (Hint Hint, SUFBS and RootFileExplorer wont write, can read though)

I have however made a flash-able update with the default keyboard framework only!

You can decide whether you want to push a dozen kb's or install them 1 at a time and try them out.
