On X10 mini Barnacle works without skip wpa suplicant! After a few trys and som Observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.

After some Trys i found a workaround:

1. Start Barnacle

2. Press Associate

3. Try to connect with your Computer

4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate

My Settings are:

WEP Encyrpting: Enabled

Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled

Auto Associate: Disabled

WAN: rmnet0
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] timaroundtheworld:
still not conneting

It's still not working on my x10mp 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. My PC (Debian or Win7 have the same problem) still doesn't connect.

Barnacle on phone is showing no errors. PC is finding the wireless network but can't connect. Looks like it does not get an answer from phone (no IP address assigned).

I surely have tried all the advices from this forum and any google search gave me.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suffeks:
Running CM6-RC1, and in areas with weak signal, my phone will say "emergency calls only" and have full bar strength and no data connection. Does this mean its connecting to a different provider's cell tower for purely emergency call purposes and showing that signal strength?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vakman:
I would actually like to know this as well. I noticed this earlier today hadn't happened before. That is what I think it is because Telus does have better reception in this area.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artesea:
That's exactly it. When you lose signal with your regular network the phone will find the next best, but unless you have a roaming agreement all you can make are Emergency Calls.

Slightly annoying when you don't have the network name visable for most of the time. Would rather have an alt icon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abs.:
I have this same issue too. However, I need to reboot my device in order for it to work normally again, it does not appear to automatically re-connect to my network, even though it has signal, unless i restart the device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinou6468:
Okay after flashing my device to froyo 2.2 JP2 my device will always go to the recovery menu after I flash...

Also I cant seem to revert back to non froyo roms... JP1 JP2 and JP3 all work...but I have to wipe the device and clear the cache from the recovery menu that pops up now after I flash to get the rom working.

[Desire Android Development] wiggy2k:
Not possible because you need root to place the flash-executable and the img into a read only directory.

Tried it too but you definitly need a method to execute some lines of code. adb push to /data is not possible because:

- adb is not working

- you can't get root to remount /data rw instead of ro.
[Desire Android Development] larbke666:
Before i flash anything... How did you get there?? Flashed new 2.2 ROM? Or RADIO? or????
[Desire Android Development] abunawwaf:
after we upgraded the official version throw htc live update
[Desire Android Development] twicejr:
And this?

Isn't it possible to hex edit the version string to trick it into believing it is a newer version?
[Desire Android Development] wiggy2k:
that's not so easy, i think it is nearly impossible, you can't hex edit something on a read only phone (if we could edit sth we could flash the 0.80 hboot back), and hex-editing the whole RUU is - as i think - because of encryption and checksum checks etc impossible, too. we have to inject the flash software and the image - and this is impossible without rw / root.
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
damn you htc
[Desire Android Development] wiggy2k:
I think there WILL be a root-hack. it is just a cat and mouse game, htc is now in front, but the dev scene will be back soon with successful rooting i think. so dont fear and be patient ;)

the only hardware which was not exploit-hacked for now is the playstation 3. (I hate not having otherOS anymore ...)

[Desire Android Development] fmachine:
Okay, that's not me, I'm sure that.

You can believe me because I'm a member of Gfan. This poster said, first, turn off your antivirus softwares and fire walls. Then maybe you should uninstall your htc driver and htc sync, after that, re-install it. Then try to downgrade again.

After this if you still can not down grade, maybe you can try it under windows XP. That's what the poster and others in the post said. Many of them have been succeed. Now I'm trying. So if I succeed, I will report back.

Cross your fingers for me, mates.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
How did you do that? which rooted OTA did you used? i mean isn't it that what we're lookin for - a rooted hboot 0.92 2.2 froyo?

[Desire Android Development] playmokill:
No... He trying to do this with the old RUU room. After downgrade ROOM and HBOOT will be possible to run the all rooting methods that we know.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
No he said that he has used the official OTA first and after that he used a rooted one. Now he has 2.2 rooted with hboot 0.92.

That's impossible afaik. So if it's true it would be great to get some details.
[Desire Android Development] playmokill:
I think, that is not possible. My windows is XP and without Anti-Virus or firewall, and when i try to downgrade with RUU the same error occurs. But... keep trying!
[Desire Android Development] playmokill:
Sorry... now i understand the question! If it's possible, is the first step to make hboot 0.92 rooted.

I'm really hoping someone can pull off root on the new hboot. The Desire is coming to the US for my service provider in a month or two and I know I'm gonna want root!

I flashed it from AmonRa Recovery. First the official OTA Update and after that without restarting the one from here:

[ROM] Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N

(it won't let me post the link due to spam caution from new Users).

But it was a mistake, because i've should wiped all and flash a clean 1.21 Rom. Now i have root on Froyo 2.2, but with hboot 0.92 and brooding around, what i can do to downgrade it. The alternate recovery is gone too. :(
[Desire Android Development] sorch:
W-CDMA (as used in UMTS and what Europeans refer to as 3G) is not the same as what is often called CDMA and is actually CDMA2000 (also a 3G technology).

It actually says W-CDMA in the menus.
[Desire Android Development] heavymetalmage:
Either way, I'm gonna wait for release here; it's much cheaper to buy with a new contract :D

On topic: It looks like the Unrevoked team is working on getting root again.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
Any source for that?
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
It says WCDMA preferred on mine, that is what is selected.

If you press the dropdown arrow then you see a number of options (GSM only, WCDMA only, GSM auto (PRL), CDMA auto (PRL), CDMA only, EvDo only, GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), unknown)
[Desire Android Development] heavymetalmage:
Saw it on their twitter...

http://twitter.com/unrevoked

I think it's from the 2.2 update for the EVO but I would assume this would apply to the desire as well.
[Desire Android Development] :
COOL! That's good to hear.
[Desire Android Development] foxmeister:
You miss the point!

US CDMA networks (e.g. Verizon, Sprint etc) are *completely* incompatible with GSM phones. They utilize a different, though related, set of technologies.

Of the 4 main US carriers, Verizon and Sprint are CDMA networks, and AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM (though they both use different frequency bands for 3G than most other GSM networks worldwide).

Dave
[Desire Android Development] playmokill:
It's not very well explained. They did not say on what device they're talking. I understand it is about the HTC Desire, but we can not be sure until they have a say. Fingers cressed to be about HTC Desire.
[Desire Android Development] heavymetalmage:
I agree. I assume that it is about the EVO because they are typically referencing that phone. The EVO and the Desire are the only phones that have gotten an OTA update as of late. I hoping they are talking about both phones or at least a solution would work for both.

Could anyone quote what the unrevoked team said on Twitter?

It's not easy to visit Twitter in China because the big brother have a tool called Golden Shield. If they don't like us to visit some sites like Blogger, Twitter , YouTube , dropbox ...etc, they will use this to reset the connection so we can't visit these sites only except we have a proxy or vpn. But both of these I have none...

That means you still have root.

You would be able to install a custom recovery using unrevoked then.

Also, you would be able to downgrade the MISC partition, allowing you to flash a lower version of hboot and 1.21 rooted testimage.

Bad news:

"unrevoked: Right now it is looking like we won't soon have a patch for unrevoked3 to root Froyo; probably rooted OTA update.zip coming tomorrow or so."

--http://www.twitter.com/unrevoked/status/20277248170
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
An OTA update.zip for rooting Froyo? Or just for updating from Eclair to Froyo without losing root (because I thought we could do that already).
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
I think it'll be just an update.zip without new hboot to update to 2.2 as you can get it here all over the board.
[Desire Android Development] rvdgeer:
This is about EVO4G if I read the context right...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Oh. :(

Well that sucks... so basically, the Unrevoked team is out of ideas as well?
[Desire Android Development] majote:
Yes it is about EvO, perhaps this mean rooted the phone by a modified updated.zip.
[Desire Android Development] rvdgeer:
No!

This means there isn't going to be a patch for unrevoked3 to root the EVO4G with the new hboot any time soon...

And it means they will release a rooted update.zip for EVO4G in a short while...

Like I said: everything they just said was not about the Desire...
[Desire Android Development] Biffy:
Isn't the fix for the desire going to be similar for the evo though.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Not sure, I think they have leaked signing certificates for the evo.
[Desire Android Development] dliven:
I still have access to the recovery, even after updating to the OTA rom.

Does it mean that I still have root ?

Is there any way to check if I still have a root access ?
[Desire Android Development] Average0815:
I already tried unrevoked, but it fails at installing the custom recovery. How can i do the downgrade of this MISC partition ? Maybe you could explain it to me or is there a guide available ?
[Desire Android Development] :
Do you have the stock Froyo? If you do, even when you have access to recovery it won't work. Just try it and I bet you the black screen with image of the phone with a red triangle appears.

That was the first thing I tried when I upgraded to the stock Froyo but sadly all the methods of rooting doesn't work for now.
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
The chance of rooting is gettin lower and lower :(

[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Oh, thanks for clearing that up :D
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
But in response:

So keep fingers crossed...
[Desire Android Development] dliven:
You´re right. :(

So, now we have to wait for a solution from the great minds of the developers.
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
I don't miss the point, I think the phone can run on either kind of network, just like the Blackberry Tour does. Remember that the snapdragon platform the Desire uses was designed by Qualcomm, who invented CDMA.
[Desire Android Development] playmokill:
hXXp://twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/20291650419

This is solution for now... The same of XDA!
[Desire Android Development] Sammy83:
I don't see the solution in that!?

It's just another ROM based on the stock ROM without the new hboot & superuser.apk ala root access.

Non of that repacks would grant you root access to an untouched 2.2 froyo or enables you to flash any custom image or zip file.
[Desire Android Development] playmokill:
Right...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
It can't. The terminology in the Android menus is just mixed up, it's referring to 3G as WCDMA, and the CDMA's in there should probably also all say WCDMA. The Blackberry Tour is an exception that probably explicitly has both kinds of radios...
[Desire Android Development] sorch:
That requires two sets of radios, more antennae, etc.

The Tour (and the US Storm) have to have these radios because they are sold as "world phones" and they have to have them to accomplish that. CDMA2000 within the US, UMTS/GSM outside.

It might have a Qualcomm processor, but AFAIK the actual radio hardware is separate (and may not even need to be Qualcomm).
[Desire Android Development] shadoon:
I've also tryed this. I've got the image of the phone and a red triangle. but after 3 or 4 minutes of this screen I've got this :

I'm trying to downgrade from 2.2 (where i have still root) to 1.21 with the old HBoot 0.80.

Now i have to get that misc-partition (mtd0) and copy it to sdcard. But when i use in adb.exe or adb-windows.exe (shell) the command mount /sdcard it prompts me:

mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory.

Wich command should i use, or is there another way to get a image of the misc-partition ?

I want to edit it with a Hex-Editor and type a lower Version for that i can flash the old 1.21 Firmware.

Thanks for any help!
[Desire Android Development] Average0815:
I made it, to get the misc.img from the MISC Partition! :)

But now, if i try to flash it back, it prompt me a error message:

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-mod.img

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00040000

error closing misc: No space left on device

has anyone an idea, what the problem could be ? :(

Edit: Forget about what i wrote, i just went into recovery and it flashes me the old firmware 1.21 with HBoot 0.80, yeeehaaaaa!!!! :)
[Desire Android Development] fmachine:
Lucky you:)
[Desire Android Development] jomik:
So you were able to run a recovery and go back to the old android?
[Desire Android Development] ljesh:
I guess he did, but he has root on 2.2

We (me and the OP) don't have root after the OTA.
[Desire Android Development] jomik:
Ahh okay, I never had root :S And I want market access!!! >.<
[Desire Android Development] Average0815:
Yes, i was in HBoot 0.92 and after the phone loaded and checked the PB99IMG.zip of the old 2.1, it asked me to flash. I edited the MISC partition to a older Version and it worked. But luckily i had still root on 2.2. Now i can flash the custom 2.2 Roms without that damn HBoot 0.92. :D
[Desire Android Development] AciDCooL:
Could u post the steps u took in detail so we all can benefit from it ?
[Desire Android Development] jomik:
From what I read, he already had root access when he updated to OTA Froyo? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this wont help the people that needs root access then :P
[Desire Android Development] Average0815:
I found this guide, because i was looking for a solution to change the MISC partition so that i can make a downgrade from HBoot 0.92 back to 0.80 for having still a custom recovery.

Originally it was made in mind for re-branding your phone (i.e. to keep warranty in case of sending it to repair).

Preparations / What we need:

1.1. A Hex-Editor (HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor | mh-nexus)

1.2 A rooted Desire (for unrooting and re-branding it), maybe in future there will be the possibility to gain root on a locked 2.2 through an exploit or something. If it's not possible, to downgrade HBoot 0.92 by another way, this will work.

1.3 The misc.img (how we get that, is explained in the next step)

1.4 The attached flash_image.zip

1.5 The Android SDK or the attached recovery-desire.zip wich contains ADB(-Windows).exe

2. Creating the misc.img

2.1 We connect our running phone to the Computer and access on it through ADB,

open a cmd window and type: adb shell

2.2 Mounting sd-card in the System: type mount /sdcard (if we receive the prompt "mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory", ignore it!;) )

2.3 With this command we copy the Misc-Partition (mtd0) to our sd-card: cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

3. Editing the misc.img

3.1 Now we have the misc.img in the main directory of our sd-card, we copy it to our Computer

3.2 We start the HxD Hex-Editor and open the misc.img

3.3 On Line 11 at the right side we can see the current Android version number on our phone.

3.4 We Change that version number to one that is lower than itself (i.e. 1.21.405.1 or 1.15.405.4), it doesn't matter, if it isn't a existing version number

3.5. After you have changed the number, save it under new filename (i.e. misc-mod.img)

3.7 Copy the changed file back to the sd-card

4. Flashing the new misc-mod.img

4.1 download the attached flash_image.zip and extract it. Copy it to the sd-card

4.2 Now we moving that File with ADB into the Directory /DATA : cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

4.3 We make the File executable with the command chmod 755 /data/flash_image

4.4 Flashing the new misc-mod.img: /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-mod.img (at this step it's possible that you receive a error-message like:

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00040000

error closing misc: No space left on device, you can ignore it ;).

Now you can copy the PB99IMG.zip to the sd-card and go into HBoot or start the RUU of a lower version number and it should flash it with old HBoot 0.80 or 0.75, enjoy! :)

Average: Are you saying that this will allow a OTA Froyo Desire to go back to .80 and be rooted with another rom?
[Desire Android Development] ocuj:
I tested it on my unrooted froyo 2.2 OTA. The procedure crashes at 2.3. No permission to get that file.
[Desire Android Development] Average0815:
it will allow to go back, if you have root on it. Maybe the Guys from Unrevoked or Modaco will find a way, to get root on 2.2 through a exploit or something. I flashed the OTA Froyo together with a rooted one, i had HBoot 0.92 but still root access.

It crashed on my rooted Froyo 2.2 OTA too, but i tried it with su and suddenly i had the misc.img on my sd-card. On the first try, it dumped me a 0kb File, but with su it dumped me a 640kb File. But i think on a unrooted Froyo it won't allow :(
