"i spent the better of the night trying to format my card. sandisk 16gb class 2.

i fire up PHDM after formatting the card through my computer. i keep getting an error message when i go through the create partition wizard saying that my external sd card has four different partitions including an extended one, which doesnt make sense because i just formatted it. ill attach a picture when i wake up.

i then tried to use paragon partition manager. my sd card shows up. yay. i proceed to create two primary partitions: 13.6gb fat32 and 1.5gb ext3. everything goes good. now, when i unmount my sd card, the phone then says that the external sd card is corrupted and that i need to reformat. reformatting takes me back to square one. 14.8gb fat32. i tried letting the phone format the memory card and then use ppm to do just a 1.5gb ext3 and success. it worked. i installed deodexed rom and saw that my boot time was 2-3 min as compared to the general 10-12 min i was reading about. downloaded quadrant and registered a beautiful 897. i also went to go put back all my files onto my memory card and it asks me to reformat the card. square one again.

last resort i used gparted. tried using 13.6gb fat32 and 1.5gb ext3 and gparted gives me an error saying it cannot complete it. i dont remember exactly the error because im not too familiar with linux.

if anyone has any ideas or alternatives that ive missed, please chime in.

EDIT: i tried using two different memory cards and they didnt work as well. there has to be something im either missing or doing wrong. =("

I have the same problem as you with Paragon! Have you found andy solution?
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
It (the ext) won't show up in windows as it's a unrecognised format (correct me if I'm wrong). With me it didn't, but my phone recognised it and the hack which I used it for.

For problems with having too many partitions you should delete all partitions firstly, and start with making the FAT32, then use the spare space for ext2/3/4.
[Vibrant Android Development] Palhaitus:
I'm attempting (like many many others) to put an ext4 partition on my SD card. I tried paragon 11... picks up the card in my onboard reader, but it says "too many partitions" so i tried it in my vibrant. Too many partitions again. The onboard memory on the phone has too many partitions as well, aparently. There's only ONE partition on the card, and the phone's basically stock (rooted, few roms, no lagfixes or anything that touches the partitioning)

When i use paragon 9, it picks up the card fine (and the phone), and will let me format it... except I want ext4, and 9 apparently was pre-ext4 (or at least doesn't support it). Looks to me like 11 is just broken? :confused:

Using win7 x64, 16gb kingston class 10 microSD.

[edit] Forgot to mention... the card comes up as "unformatted" in the more advanced section of 11 (non wizard). if I delete all partitions, it seems to actually work, computer says it's unformatted... but paragon still says "too many partitions" and windows can't seem to format it either. Phone handled it fine.

Also: correction... 9 gets a step further then says it has too many partitions. It's a freshly formatted 1 partition disk...

I think i'm just going to pick up a linux boot disk at this point, paragon is looking like more and more of a waste of time.
[Vibrant Android Development] Oscar0717:
Which SDcard are we partitioning... the internal or external?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:
external...
[Vibrant Android Development] johan8:
Is it ok to turn "internal SD" into ext4 instead of vfat ?
[Vibrant Android Development] Only Loki:
Back in the old g1 days we would download a live CD of Linux and use gparted or parted whatever that distro decides to call it and use that.

Ext4 is a Linux filesystem so your windows system is probably having a hissy fit because it thinks your cheating on it.
[Legend General] marcchelala:
I have an HTC Legend (Vodafone Branded), that I am using unlocked in Lebanon.

Mobile phone numbers usually start with 03, and the International Country Code is +961.

When I send a message, it gets sent as 03****** and is stored in one thread. Then, when the same person replies to my message, it arrives as +9613******. The phone is considering them as 2 different phone numbers, and storing the received messages in a different thread.

Is there any solution? Shall I install a non-branded ROM or anything? Is there an app for that?

Btw, I have updated yesterday to 2.05.161.1 OTA, and now in addition to this problem, I have the problem of the SMS showing older messages first.

Handcent SMS doesn't fix the thread problem btw...
[Legend General] marcchelala:
bump.... anyone?
[Legend General] Krill_NZ:
The first problem I don’t recognize but I also have the problem that, when ever I got a new SMS, I have to scroll down to the bottom of the SMS list before I can read it. I did not have this problem before I did the update. I checked with a friend that has HTC Desire and he dose not have the same problem after the update. When he opens the SMS the list will show the last SMS that has received.
[Legend General] dubart:
Same thing happens to me if I send a message to 09x xxx-xxxx, but if a message is sent to +385 9x xxx-xxxx it is in one thread, together with a reply. That's why I store all contacts with a country code (+385).
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
The ordering is a bug in the 2.05 update.

The thread problem might be easier to solve. Check if you have two contacts with the same number i.e duplicate contacts. If not that check if you have the number stored twice in the same contact. This might sometimes "confuse" the phone and lead to the above said problem. It happened to me when my google contacts got sync with my phone, I ended up having many duplicate contacts.

This is a bug in the latest Legend update [2.05]. The Desire is a different phone. The latest update it received was the Froyo update. The Legend is yet to get that update. And hopefully the update might fix the bug.
[Legend General] marcchelala:
@ananthm2k5 thanks a lot, but the thing is that it is not even recognizing the number.... so the received messages get stored in a thread under +9613****** so it's probably not a problem of duplicate numbers or contacts.

I had a Telus HTC Hero before the Legend, and it didn't have this problem.

Is there an application I should install that could fix this problem, or would I have to debrand my Legend? And would debranding even fix the problem?

Thank you.
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Generally when you have duplicate contacts the phone displays only the number .. but since you say you don't gave duplicate contacts ... I guess you could just back up and reset your phone to factory settings ...

Also ask the contact to call you ... see if it shows the proper contact or just a number ...

Installing other apps or debranding will not help ... you could try alternate messaging applications ... there are a quite a few .. look around the forums ... but I'm not sure about how good they are ... the default is good enough for me
[Legend General] marcchelala:
Alternate messaging options don't fix the problem...

The weird thing is, that when they call me, it displays the correct phone number, and doesn't even show the +961 extension...

I haven't tried a factory reset, but I did try deleting all the messages... I'll try one asap... I just don't feel like restoring all the apps and contacts etc.... Do you know any good backup app that doesn't require root?
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
The Legend does a back up on its own ... its somewhere in privacy setting or something .. look for it ... and while doing a factory reset remove your SD card. ...
[Legend General] Lola90:
I just sold my legend and bought a Desire!

And im loving it!

That's what u all should :D
[Legend General] marcchelala:
Alright, I have debranded my phone, and installed the official Europe HTC Legend RUU 1.31, but the problem is still there.

Also, meanwhile, I have contacted HTC Support, and here's their last reply:

However, my phone was not really locked to Vodafone Germany, since I could use my Lebanese SIM Card. I can use the phone, messages and mobile data. I also know that SIM Lock is not allowed in Germany. Shall I try to re-unlock it? Is there a way to know if my phone is somewhat locked or not??

My HTC Hero was locked to Telus, but I have gotten it unlocked by a third-party.

@Lola90, if you can find me a good deal, then why not? :P
[Legend General] marcchelala:
what should i do?
[Legend General] marcchelala:
Nobody has a solution to my problem?

Any recommendations? Rooting, custom ROM, anything?
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
factory reset did not work for you ?
[Legend General] marcchelala:
No, it didn't work...

Any suggestion on what to do? Shall I try to re-unlock the phone, shall I install a custom ROM, or an Official North American, or Middle Eastern ROM, or is there an application that I can install?
[Desire General] musiccontrolsus:
I'm thinking about flashing my Desire back to the Tmobile release.

I'm used to working with zips to flash..

but the RUU rom's are exe's can someone give me a quick rundown of the process of taking my phone completely back to before it was rooted.

Many thanks
[Desire General] bamboo12:
connect the phone to usb in htc sync mode

turn on htc sync on your computer

once the computer syncs with the phone, run the exe file
[Desire General] musiccontrolsus:
awesome thanks. do i run it from inside sync or just as long as they are connected?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
just so you know the ruu is a wrapper for the rom.zip, you can extract the rom.zip from the ruu and flash it normally :)
[Desire General] musiccontrolsus:
ooo not good. the update utility told me it could not update my android phone. bad times
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sec1rxg:
anybody now to downgrade 2.2 back to stock 2.1, i found som info but refers to the nexus 1. it advices to unlock the bootloader by flasing a .zip file (goto androidtechnical.info and get the passimg.passion_.zip file load it to your sd card root name it passimg.zip (just one zip ext) and flash wahla)

I was wondering if i can apply this to my EVO and be done with it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilv:
just flash to 2.1 rom.

whats your reason?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hankbear:
Downgrading will only be possible once it has been determined how to root an unrooted 2.2 EVO. That is not possible, at-the-moment. We will just have to wait....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
if you aren't rooted currently there is no way to downgrade or root 2.2.

so in short you are stuck at stock 2.2 until the amazing devs figure out a new bug to exploit to provide root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
but just to confirm, if i'm rooted since day 1(original 2.1 root) and i installed a rom from XDA(OMJ's 2.2 froyo) i can downgrade simply by installing his older 2.1 rom right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bang3r:
Not sure if you can flash a 2.1 OMJ over a 2.2 OMJ (or similar) becasue I haven't done it ( I don't think you can), but if you run simple root again (or do Toastcfh's part 2 manually) and load the engineering build, you should be able to again flash a 2.1 to downgrade...Same idea as what you need to do to downgrade in order to flash a RUU if you have to send your phone back for any reason...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sec1rxg:
i tryed that, Froyo locked up my bootloader. I have too many issues with 2.2 for my taste. I want to go back to a rooted 2.1 and flash a custom Froyo Rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sec1rxg:
yes! this is what I want to be able to do. having an original 2.1 root allows you to flash any ROM Sprint Stock or ortherwise, its almost like changing skins but your base never changes. The only time things change permanently is when you do an UPDATE. Doing an UPGRADE only brings the eye-candy that only a custom ROM can provide.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alisdair:
I have a brand new bootloader unlocked Nexus One which is stuck at the boot logo (not the animated one, the static four-colour X).

Out of the box, all I did was:

1) Power up holding the trackball to get to the bootloader screen

2) Plug the phone into a USB port

3) Run fastboot oem unlock

The phone then started to reboot, and it's been stuck since then. At the boot screen, the unlocked padlock is underneath the X logo. It doesn't even get to the animated X.

I've tried flashing Amon Ra's recovery image (which I think worked) and booting into it, but it also hangs before the animated X.

What else can I try to unbrick this phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
From what i understand is once you OEM UNLOCK it actually wipes the WHOLE phone, and from there you flash recovery image, then flash a rom to it.. to boot up..

If looking something that is close to stock but will lot of goodies, try Enomthers ROM
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen B:
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't overwrite either the boot or the system image, so it should boot with the stock images as normal, just with the unlocked padlock on boot.

Running fastboot boot ~/path/to/stock/systemimage/system.img yields no success either.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amritttt:
try installing new rom like cyanogen 6 or enom's 2.11.1

Hi i want to help in the developer in cracking x10. i learn some c# in school might/might not help. but any site can get me to learn more about android?? what the basic? =)
[HD2 General] djingonthenet:
Right since this place has gone android crazy over the last few months, I thought I'd give it a go. Went through all the instructions, updated hspl to 2.08 updated radio to greater than 2.08. Ran android, boot screen shows all the boot up text then melts away into two lines, then....nothing (left it half hour just black screen and green flashing led). Anyway, reading though the 19900 posts on android I stumbled upon a post saying that to run android you need to flash a .50 radio not .51 What I want to know is as I am using the wwe stock 1.66 can I flash a .50 radio with no ill effects or will I have to flash a new rom as well?

If it means flashing a new rom then I'll just stick with WM as I've got my phone running nicely and haven't needed to mess about with it at all (to get it working!) for months :)
[HD2 General] fred_up:
You can flash the Radio ROM only. As you are not using a TMOUS HD2 then there is no problem with bricking your phone.

I am currently using the 1.66WWE ROM and 2.10.50.08_2 Radio ROM.

I don't know how well this works with Android, as I like WinMo.
[HD2 General] djingonthenet:
Ok cheers for that, will give it a go. Won't be using android as a day to day option, just want to try it out see what all the fuss is about.
[HD2 General] troed:
Be careful: I tried THAT already (updating my radio on my 1.66-ROM Radio 2.06.51.07) to run Android but found out that all upper radios 2.08 and higher) from the radio-thread do partially not work on my HD2 (some of the basic functions Phone/WiFi/Wireless Router/HSPA etc. didn´t work anymore after upgrading).

So after flashing new radio CHECK EVERY function of radio if it´s working as before.

I had to go back to 2.06.51 to get my smooth running of my HD2 again with all Radio features working flawless.
[HD2 General] djingonthenet:
Got to admit after flashing 2.09.51 yesterday it actually improved things, got hsdpa at home (4 bars as well) never had anything other than gprs as I live in an old quarry, lowest it has dropped to is 2bars of 3g so as far as dial up connectivity is am better off. Not had other issues with wifi, phone or messaging either, not tried bluetooth or wifi router yet but would assume that they are fine also. Obviously if things do start going ary I'll flash the original back :)

BTW android now boots and runs like lightining!
[HD2 General] troed:
So I give it a last chance. Didn´t try 2.09.51 (goofed the line and thought it´s for TMOUS). Tx for the tip

Did You change rilphone.dll and if yes to which version ?
[HD2 General] yongck7:
Hi djingonthenet,

Can you confirm you have flashed the radio to 2.09.51 and not 2.09.50? Any issue observed so far?

I have the same configuration as your HD2 and would like to try the Andriod but worry that the radio may cause unknow issue to my HD2, eg phone,3g, or wifi, etc.

[Droid Incredible General] hackadeehack236:
Aight so if u noticed once u installed the leak for froyo 2.2 if u had a custom bootanimation on ur phone it revert or essentially upgraded it and when u try to put ur custom one back in /data/local along wit an Android_audio.mp3 file the animation still won't change..

Here's the fix..

ok assuming u have sdk already installed and u already experienced changing animation before Imma go the short route...

When upgrading to froyo the spot of ur bootanimation has switched.. so what u want to do is

First , rename the bootanimation.zip file to VZW_bootanimation.zip then rename ur Android_audio.mp3 to VZW_audio.mp3 please rename exactly wit caps on VZW and underscore

Secondly, goto ur sdk directory and copy n paste ur newly named files into the tools folder...

Third , start phone up in recovery mode once there goto partition menu then select the first option which should be mount. Go back to computer screen and open cmd prompt change directory to ur sdk folder under tools..once there do these commands

Adb push VZW_bootanimation /system/customize/resource/

Adb push VZW_Droid.mp3 /system/customize/resource/

The transfer should show on screen after every command

The on ur phone hit the optical button to unmount

Hit ur power button to go back a screen

Then reboot system and ur custom bootanimation and sound should load.. lemme know if u have any issues..
[Droid Incredible General] IShootPixels:
I haven't tried this but assuming it works, has anyone isolated the Incredible's new boot animation so that in case I ever want to go back to it I can? I don't mind it but wish it was just the eye without all of the words flying by on the screen. I want to change it to the Droid X boot but may want to go back to this one someday. Thanks.

[Droid Incredible General] Hand76:
Can someone help me with something.

I have an audio clip that is about 30 seconds long and after 10 seconds (with leaked froyo) the sound goes really low.

Anyway to change this?
[Droid Incredible General] IShootPixels:
I couldn't get this to work. It says/sbin/sh: adb: not found

I don't know why it won't work, but it's only since 2.2. It worked fine using 2.1 but then I only had to use these commands...

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

adb reboot
[Droid Incredible General] TheWizKid95:
OMFG! thank you so much! this is a life saver! is there any way i can donate?!

U can donate thru paypal

[Droid Incredible General] hackadeehack236:
@ishootpixels be sure to do instructions to don't skip.. it sounds like ur not navigating to ur sk/tools folder in order to use the abd commands.. commands are pretty much the same Adb push VZW_bootanimation.zip then the instructed folder... b sure to do this while phone is in recovery mode.. if u have further issues lemme know I can see what I can do
[Droid Incredible General] hackadeehack236:
also ishootpixels if you actually go into shell and try to run these commands they wont work... just navigat to sdk/tools folder once there run commands... after changing name of files though.. also it would help to know when exactly ur getting this error is it right off the bat with the first one?? make sure ur device is being seen type in adb devices...

also one issue when getting that error is debugging is not turned on... let me know what you find n gimme an update hopefully we can get it working for you
[Droid Incredible General] IShootPixels:
I DL'd the boot animation from droid life today for the new D2.

Moved it to the tools folder and renamed it.

booted phone into recovery, went to partions menu and mounted system

opened command prompt. cd \sdk\tools to open tools folder

adb shell

typed commands and I tried it various ways. I copied and pasted it your way, I tried it by leaving off the ".zip", etc..

For some reason I just can't get this to work. I even tried it with "/system/customize" as someone mentioned in another thread. I give up.
[Droid Incredible General] hackadeehack236:
once ur in sdk\tools folder

DO NOT ENTER COMMAND "ADB SHELL"

thats why ur getting that issue..

once you open cmd prompt type in and navigate to your sdk\tools folder just copy n paste the following commands

Adb push VZW_bootanimation /system/customize/resource/

Adb push VZW_Droid.mp3 /system/customize/resource/

The transfer should show on screen after every command

Then on ur phone hit the optical button to unmount

Hit ur power button to go back a screen

Then reboot system and ur custom bootanimation and sound should load..

thats why u were getting that error dont got into adb shell just run those commands as soon as u navigate to sdk\tools folder

this should work no problem now.... GOOD LUCK!!!

again Donations can be made through paypal
