This is the info from my phone:-

Android version 2.2

Baseband version 32.36.00.28u_4.06.00.02_2

Kernel version 2.6.29-0cb9f166 (htc-kernal@and18-2 #1

Build number 2.09.405.8 cl218634

Software number 2.09.405.8

I'm not sure what to do as I can't run any RUU files as my I get error codes as it cannot connect to my phone!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
turn your fone off, and then back on holding down the volume down button, that will put you in hboot mode, look at the top of the screen and it will tell you your hboot version, for example mine says hboot-0.75.0000 witch is hboot 0.75 obviously, if it says 0.80.0000 or less, power your fone on and check adb can find your fone, if adb finds it u should have no trouble rooting and flashing a new rom :)

I've just tried to use Unrevoked....the problem I have is my SD Card no longer appears on my phone to mount/unmount or format, so I have no option to set my 'Connect to PC' option to 'Disk Drive'....which means Unrevoked can't see my SD Card :(

Opening Update Package

Verifying Update Package

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

This happens with EVERY update.zip file

I can't even create a new goldcard as my SD Card doesn't show up to format it :mad:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
The 2 links I posted have nothing to do with flashing updates. You need to run a fastboot command to re-enable your sd card, then copy a couple of files to your phone and restore your misc partition.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtish:
I know....but according to adb....there is not device attached so I can't send any commands.....even the part to re-enable the SD card doesn't work,it's still not recognised or I'd be able to create a new goldcard.....I'm going to sling it at the wall in a min.....there's alot wrong with it as when I've tried to run different RUU files,my image version varies between 1.2 and 2.2...its stupid!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
It doesn't say anything about adb. The part about enabling your sd card has to be done using fastboot, while in fastboot mode (turn on phone while holding back button)

Hope this helps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtish:
But what do I use to send commands like this:

For this, do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.

to my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
If you have downloaded the android SDK there should be a fastboot program in the tools folder.

Start the phone in fastboot mode, and run the command from the command prompt in windows.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtish:
Look here....

For the idea:

The idea to this unrooting came to me while I was reading a conversation on the ModaCo - IRC.

1. What do we need:

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

1.2. A rooted Desire (sure otherwise no unroot needed)

1.3. The misc.img (how to get it see the next step)

1.4. The flash_image.zip from this link: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-m...ire-fertig.html

2. Creating the misc.img

2.1. Connect the Desire to the PC and access via ADB:

----> adb shell

2.2. Mount SD-Card in your system

----> mount /sdcard

2.3. Copy the Misc-Partition (mtd0) on the SD-Card

----> cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

3. Editing misc.img:

3.1. Copy the misc.img you´ve just created on your SD-Card onto your PC

3.2. Start the program "HxD - Hex Editor"

3.3. Open the file via "File -> open" (Datei -> öffnen)

3.4. Only line 11 is interesting for us; it should be 1.21.405.1

3.5. Now we change 1.21.405.1 into another value, I decided myself for 1.117.405.1

3.6. After the changes have been made we safe the file with another name (e.g. misc-mod.img)

3.7. Copy the changed version of the file back to your SD-Card

4. Installing the changed misc.img (misc-mod.img)

4.1. Download the file flash_image.zip from the link (http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...esire/30011-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig.html) and unzip it on your SD-Card

4.2. The content must be moved via ADB into the directory DATA

----> cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

4.3. Now we will make the file executable

----> chmod 755 /data/flash_image

4.4. Flashing the new misc.img (misc-mod.img)

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

(It could be necesary to try this step several times. For me it worked on the first run.)

Nothing works..... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Have you ran the fastboot command?

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtish:
Which one?

It's a nightmare as my phone is not picked up in adb devicews
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

Turn off your phone, press and hold the back key, and press power. (Keep holding back)

Your phone should be in fastboot mode.

Load up a command prompt in windows, navigate to your SDK folder, and then tools. There should be a fastboot program in there. Type the above command and hit enter. It should re-enable your sd card.

I am assuming you know how to use a dos prompt.

I have never actually done this, so I could be feeding you wrong info.

I just had this error and fixed it.

History

Rooted with unrevoked

I had Modaco ROM loaded and running for a few days but wanted to flash the t-mod ROM

Partitioned the SD with ROM Manager for A2SD+

Rebooted

Loaded the new T-Mod ROM from Rom Manager and got this error about verification...

Rebooted and cleared the Davlik cache

Rebooted and it installed fine

Now on T-Mod 1.9 with A2SD+
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spice154:
i have tried 2 different roms but still it gives me verification failed.

pls reply soon thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmps:
Did you ever find a solution for this I have the same problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Running Unrevoked followed by flashing custom ROMs in Clockwork ought to fix..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simmps:
I still have bootloader 0.80 - this sort of indicates I didn't upgrade to the OTA 2.2 can someone back me up on this?

If I unroot my phone to 2.1 using a gold card and then re-root do you think this will work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Yea, it does mean you didnt upgrade..

This is a good method to try and will fix your problem in most cases. Use the latest WWE RUU from shipped-roms.. and then Root with Unrevoked 3.21..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
I have clockwork 2.5.0.1 recovery, after trying to flash radio 2.15.00.07.28 ( which looked like it worked, but checking base band said 2.15.00.07.21 ) - I did a factory wipe and a couple more tries of the radio. I rewiped twice including dalvik, tried to do a nandroid restore. It completed and I booted . The boot completed. I now can't get market to down load. It gives an error. It does show the paid apps. When I go to setting>application>manage applications, all the "downloaded" applications show a size of 0.

My system info is build # 1.47.651.1 + unrevoked.

When I do a factory wipe, (rather than a restore) market loads but I have no root. Tested it withbetter terminal emulator > su = permission denied. I tried unrovked3 again it completed, but no superuser.apk - whitelist.

I would like options to either reroot or get the restore to work.

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ds28:
I noticed today that I have a duplicate "Messages" entry in my share menu. The icons are 2 different resolutions/sizes, but they both seem to lead to my MMS app.

Is there any way to force Android to rebuild my "share" menu, barring a total reset?

I can live with this, just curious.

(I toyed around with using vanilla MMS in place of Sense, but I rolled back pre-tinker using Nandroid.... maybe that's what caused this?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hiddenhandgun:
Forgive me for necroposting, but this is really relevant and needs a bump. I have 10 items on my share menu, only two of which I use with any regularity, and because the menu alpha sorts I get to scroll every time to get to them. Five of the entries I will absolutely never use. For being one of the best features of the system, the lack of configurability is a really poor bit of UI design
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tlapapa:
me too, somehow my carrier manged to duplicate every single application on my share menu. The temporary solution a found was through LauncherPro, that has the option to hide/show apps on share menu. Hope it helps till a better solution comes around.

Hi there,

Is it possible to just change the lockscreen background but leave the rest of the lockscreen the same?

I know that there are several applications which will provide an alternate lockscreen but I would much rather keep the original if possible.

Cheers.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
I'd like to know this too. Even my HTC Tattoo could have separate wallpaper and lockscreen backgrounds. Why not on the desire?
[Desire Themes and Apps] brummiesteven:
At a guess it's something to do with the live wallpapers.

[Desire Themes and Apps] VeeDubZ:
lockbot is a good alternative, you get several styles of lock screen and all are customizable
[Desire Themes and Apps] ph0rce:
Just installed Lockbot Free to check it out, not very impressed to be honest, the original lock screen appears for a couple of seconds before the Lockbot one which ruins the whole appearence.

Have I done something wrong or is this just how it is?

EDIT

OK, bought & installed WidgetLocker which seems much better. There is still a delay if you lock the phone & then turn the screen back on straight away where it shows the original lock screen but it is negligable. I haven't experimented with all the options yet but it seems pretty comprehensive.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] asiancuta:
I read that Google is cleaning up the Android Market. I have yet to see this. !

Why don't they just update the market app to allow blocking of certain developers and their crap apps..

For example free4android and their 146 crap games, Susan xin and her 40 different versions of the same "funny pictures" app, Andy.Li who I'm pretty sure is also aka Susan xin, Puzzle and their 267 different apps of wallpaper puzzles...which the market is LOADED with along with memory games. Instead of a "flag as offensive", just let us block them. You can delete them but they'll just make another gmail name and reflood the market again.

For once i'd like to check the Just-In and not thumb scroll endlessly through crap apps from these spam like developers.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] :
It is annoying, but I really don't care. I usually just search or look at top apps/games.

Let's not turn it into a locked down app-store.

They could let users apply a filter to their market app to filter out the offending devs I suppose. ie-go to one of offending devs pages in marketplace and click "add dev to block-filter" or something similar. I'd guess I might filter a few out if I had the option.

I thought this was about our forums at first and was excited!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] asiancuta:
eh maybe it's just my personal annoyance. :\ i liked how Apple has their iphone market setup to where you can see the NEW apps without wading through so much junk.

Would really like to know how possible this is? I'm pretty knowledge when it comes to .xml files and I notice when you change a .zip to a .apk it's an XML file inside so I figure it couldn't be to bad.

When I try to open it with notepad all the text is scrambled, I can barely understand the code. I'm not gonna re-distribute this either, I just want to change the background, the weather icons and if possible add my own .rss feeds.

I believe the xml files are encrypted, you should be able to get to the pngs by browsing the apk via 7zip

I'm not 100% sure on this but on my last phone we could change png's easily with 7zip by dragging them in and out of the window. The xml files could be decoded back to readable xml but they couldn't be compiled again. I am no expert though.

This is the final part in a 5 part series of Android performance benchmarking apps. Quadrant is probably the most popular Android performance benchmark app available today. First made popular in videos showing the (then) upcoming Galaxy S, it's been making the rounds as people jump on board to test their Android phones against the big guns. Quadrant is an all-around, full-featured performance test that measures all aspects of your phone's performance for a full rundown of how powerful it truly is. Some of the things analyzed are the CPU, 3D performance, and Memory, among others. Check out the video for a full demo of the app. Be sure to download today for a great app to compare Android phones, compare ROMs, or just have fun using one of the hottest apps on Android. Then go brag to all your iPhone friends. Do it.

Let me know in the comments which app is your favorite, or if you have any other great benchmarking apps!

Hi

Any news on how long battery last on the new official release?

Im currently on Pays ROM, and battery last between 24-48 h, with 3g and wifi turned on and daily use of phone, sms and browsing.

Just tried some ROMs that didnt even last a whole day
[Desire General] wgg:
In 3 hours I have nearly used 50% of battery and that is with 3 short phone calls.

System, cell standby, wifi and phone idle account for 80% usage. Was using a different froyo rom before putting oem one on and did not have this type of drain.

Also not using an app killer as people have been saying that the system can handle the apps, that has not been the case and will install again.
[Desire General] RXP:
My battery drain has been up massively since I went to 2.2 with the OpenDesire ROM. Phone standby takes most of it. What's causing such excessive usage? Even on the official ROM now :-/

You should post on which ROMs you have the battery drain...
[Desire General] markuz85:
I have had massive battery drain on all ROMs until I started using the rooted 2.2 OTA. I would have to charge my phone twice every day but now it's great, I have 65 percent left after a full day of heavy use.

I had PaysDesire v2.3 before installing the OTA 2.2. The battery with PaysDesire with average use went from 100% to like 60% in 12 hours. With the latest one, i lost 8% in 2 hours but with over average usage. Testing the camera, installing apps, setting up things...

That is why I am still not convinced that the battery sucks on 2.2 and I will wait few days (until the shine wears off, as Coldplay would say) before bringing my final decision.
