Hi,

I brought my UK Desire sim-free, and apparently unbranded. There are no network-related apps anywhere, or a network startup logo.

However, my software number is 1.19.161.5, which is I believe is the latest update for branded phones. 1.21 being the last update for unbranded phones before FroYo?

There are no updates available when checking manually, and I've also tried using the update.zip files from the HTC liveimage URL (both 1.21 and FroYo), both of which fail with the fingerprint error.

Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks,

Rich

I know someone who was on Vodaphone SIM-FREE with that version number. He successfully debranded with a goldcard to 1.21, and then upgraded via OTA.

Sounds like you might actually have a Vodaphone ROM:

161 doesn't look like unbranded, 405 is WWE which works for sure (receives OTA).

If you want it now, create a gold card, debrand with RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed, keep the goldcard in, get the froyo OTA update. If something goes wrong, downgrade back to 1.21.405.2 and do the factory reset, remove sim and enter flight mode before installing the update.
[Desire General] richayrich:
Cheers guys, will give the goldcard approach a try tonight then. Was hoping I wouldn't have to go down this route, but I don't want to have to rely on networks for their own specific updates!

It worked a treat! Thanks guys :)

Dear all,

I need HELP. I have a htc desire (2.1 update1). Yesterday, I received the update notification and I could download the android 2.2 update. However, it was stuck in the fastboot menu screen whenever i tried to installed it. When I chose reboot, it only reboot to the old version 2.1 update1 but Android 2.2 was not installed. Please help me.

What network are you on, are your rooted?
[HD2 General] atjong1:
My previous HD2 had a 1.66 ROM and had no issues with Wi-Fi or bluetooth. My current HD2 has a 1.72 ROM and I can't get the phone to find any Wi-Fi network or any bluetooth device. The software simply doesn't find any and returns after a time out. I was able to pair another phone to the HD2 by changing its visibility to visible so bluetooth communication does seem to work. I have no issues making data connections and phone calls. What could I do to find the problem? What can I test?

ROM 1.72.172.0 (82429.0)

Radio 2.07.51.22_2

OS 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
[HD2 General] atjong1:
Does this problem ring a bell for anyone? Would installing a custom ROM help? I read some bad things about the radio version 2.07 I'm currently using.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Silly question, but why did you change from 1.66 to 1.72. It is not an updated version of 1.66, it is just the operator branding (bloatware?) of 1.66.

Is it the same Radio ROM as you had in the problem free 1.66?
[HD2 General] atjong1:
No this is a different HD2. My first one was stolen. This is a new one. Well actually a repaired one I bought second hand. I didn't change anything to it (yet). I'll happily experiment with different roms and radios if that can solve the problem but I'd like your opnions on this.

Edit

Just talked to a HTC rep. He advices to install the latest ROM and pointed me out to the 1.66 ROM on their website. I tried but can't download that one because my phone is a VF branded one and the website won't accept my serial number. I'll try the 1.72 ROM from their website but I don't expect any difference. If that doesn't solve the problem I guess I'll try a custom ROM.
[HD2 General] atjong1:
Re-flashing the stock VF ROM didn't help. Neither did flashing a custom ROM. But when I took the battery cover off the HD2 I discovered that it functions as an antenna of some sort. The are 2 connection spots that are bare metal:

Then I discovered that 1 of the 2 pins that are supposed to make contact with these spots didn't protrude out of the body of the HD2 and wasn't making contact with the battery cover / antenna.

The good pin:

The bad pin:

This probably is the reason for the malfunctioning bluetooth and WiFi. I re-flashed the stock ROM and wil be bringing HD2 back to the VF store for repair today. To be continued.
[HD2 General] troed:
Can´t be. I use the ext. batt and this has a plastic cover w/o contacts and my 1.66-ROM is running perfect. Antennae are NOT in batt.cover !!! nor connected to batt.cover

I also had problems when flashed radios higher tha. 2.06.51.07 (for android-install). Reverted back to radio 2.06 and everything is fine again.
[HD2 General] atjong1:
What problems did you have?

And I hadn't noticed the 2 pins before on my previous HD2. Does your HD2 have them?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
I always thought the back panel was for a future inductive charging system.
[HD2 General] atjong1:
I got my HD2 back from the repair shop yesterday. They found a 'mechanical' failure and repaired it. Detecting bluetooth devices and wifi networks now works perfectly.

The pin on the back of the phone still isn't touching the back panel though. But this doesn't seem to affect the reception.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
I installed the 1Click ROM update on my phone (won't go into the gory details of why), and did a complete restore using Titanium.

I had a few issues, all of which I have worked out except I have no 3G connectivity. WiFi works, but no 3G. I thought maybe Juice Defender may be messing it up, so I uninstalled that. I can go into Network Settings, and then Network Operators, and the Default Setup is greyed out.

Any suggestions?

[EDIT]

I found that the Quick Settings app had APN toggled off. I don't know...maybe I had it toggled for some reason at the time it backed up. I typicallyi don't do that, but am learning/playing with things.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jickey:
I am running Cyanogen RC and installed the "hacked" facebook app that allows for contact syncing. Everything has been working fine, no problems at all. I installed Tasker on Friday after the review on Lifehacker, but haven't really set anything up yet (just haven't had time to define a lot of tasks.) Since I installed it, I noticed that the "Older Posts" link in the News Feed doesn't get older posts like it used to - It looks like it's updating, but no older posts appear.

My job is high level software tech support, so I'm trying to go through all the typical troubleshooting steps in my head -

1) Is it the fault of the hacked FB app? But it worked when I installed it...I could go back to the Market version, but then I lose contact syncing.

2) Is it Tasker's fault? I don't see why that app would interact with FB, but it's odd that I started noticing it right after that install. I suppose I could uninstall Tasker and see, but I really want to start learning and using Tasker.

Any ideas out there?

[EVO 4G General] EVOme:
Some of the apps I had before the upgrade are not in there. I did the settings/apps/market, clear data/cache. They still don't appear. Could it be that app is not supported on 2.2?

For instance...

Paypal

Redbox (I searched redboxer to find in 2.1)

File Cover (for the lite version)
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Those are copy-protected files and virtually every time we get an update, it takes about a week for them to come back. Google has to add our new version number to the Market database before copy protected apps come back. Hopefully, Sprint or HTC is already on top of this and by the time the update is officially OTA, Google will have it up and running. Until then, you'll just have to live with the other apps that aren't affected. Good news is, Google is moving away from copy-protection and is going to offer a licensing service instead, which should fix this issue.
[EVO 4G General] EVOme:
Thanks for replying and explaining. Makes sense and I can wait.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Yeah no problem. I have ten apps and about half are paid that aren't showing up. I'm very anxious to get this fixed. Everything else in Froyo is amazing, so once this gets fixed, I'll be very happy!

Basically, every time I go to clockwork recovery and try to wipe data and cache, I get this error.

cant mount block /dev/block/mmcblk0

I have reformatted many times my sd, even with rom manager but with no luck.

Still get the same error.

From what I understand, if I flash a rom that supports aps2sd+ then I cant install any apps from market because it cannot mount my sd card.
[Desire General] markuz85:
You probably have an ext2 partition which clockwork can't handle. I had to convert mine to ext3 to be able to format it in recovery. Apps were still being saved there, though.

I had this problem while my ext was ext4. I had a ROM that was OK using ext4 but clockwork wouldn't back it up, so I reformated SD with ext3.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
You should, but only if the final isn't the same as the leaked one. You can also flash the final build once its released, manually.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolhwhip:
You could just wait 1 day, too. I know it's killing you to get your hands on Froyo (it's killing me) but patience is a virtue. To be honest, I don't think it would have been as bad if Sprint didn't say we could initiate the update by downloading and installing it manually earlier. People have been hitting the "Check Now" button since last Friday (myself included). Why say that at all if you're not going to allow it?

BTW - your post title is very misleading... may want to change it to a question of some sort instead of statement implying what it isn't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
I highly doubt Sprint wouldn't allow the people that updated early to update again. That would be absolutely ridiculous. Either wait for the next update or for a root method on your current version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jamnoran:
Hi, hopefully this is the correct place to post this.

I´m developing a device on a beagleboard and have some problems starting the kernel.

I´m using yaffs2 as root filesystem and the version of the kernel is 2.6.29.

We have the latest yaffs2 code compiled into the kernel, not from googles kernel but from yaffs git sources.

We come so far as it has finished uncompressing the kernel and tried booting it but after that it freezes without no output what so ever.

The uBoot enviroment is as following:

OMAP3_Kajsa # printenv

bootdelay=10

baudrate=115200

loadaddr=0x82000000

usbtty=cdc_acm

stdout=serial

stderr=serial

Environment size: 1175/131068 bytes

And the output when we start to boot the kernel is:

Start with http://developer.android.com or www.helloandroid.com to familiarize yourself with Android's structure.

From there, check out http://source.android.com to get more into the source code and Android framework.

I am a software/web developer and I have the Android SDK, Eclipse, Visual Studio 2008 and a number of other tools on my dev box. I love coding in C# but I can do Java and some other stuff too. I just got Eclipse (Helios) setup with the ADT plugin and I am messing around with the emulator. So this is basically what it used for testing/debugging etc. or is there something better? I have my first little app up and running in the VAD emulator. I found out that you need Eclipse 3.5 (not 3.6) and the JRE 1.6 for everything to be happy. Now where to go from here....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ObscureCaucasian:
You can either use the Emulator or a physical device for debugging (granted the device has usb debugging enabled). I would just look over samples and try to make more complicated application from here, it seems like you have all the prep work done.

Hi! :o

I'm searching for a simple, rooted update.zip that brings me a clean Froyo to my Desire without any "extra" stuff and changes. Waited for the turkey42 one yesterday, but he stopped the project. Now I'm confused :confused: in which of the unofficial official ROMs and updates I should choose. I had a Hero before and when 2.1 was released, there instantly was a modified update.zip which just readded root and did not change hboot and could be applied to the rooted stock rom.

Is it possible to change the following official OTA update.zip from HTC for the Desire, so that the hboot 0.92 isn't applied and adding the root package to it?

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

What is be needed to do this?

Just removing the hboot.img from the contained firmware.zip packge and resigning the update.zip wouldn't probably do it. I never did this before but i'm wondering about all devs just making a copy of their system partitions an building updatezips from that.

Regards,

Kristian ;)

I know how you feel. There are so many official 2.2 - based ROMS being posted at the moment and I just can't work out which to try. All I want really is root + A2SD+, preferabbly not de-odexed, and they all seem to have stuff added or messed about with. Not to mention they all seem to have their own issues ranging from green tints in photos to stuff like Google Maps not being able to uninstall/update. I just want a nice clean rooted ROM that's gonna work without me spending all day flashing different ones to try them all out.
