[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dw2010:
I followed the instructions and update to the ROM (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed)

But when I do to software update it says 'there are no updates available for your phone'

I tried downloading the OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30 and copying to the goldcard and renaming it update.zip but when I start the phone in recovery mode I just get a phone icon with an exclaimation mark.

Any ideas?

Edit: Ok I think Ive worked it out -- Here are the steps I performed on the Telstra A8183 Desire (Note: I am using it on the Telecom NZ XT Network)

If not already done, Install HTC Sync and restart your computer (Yes you acutally do have to restart or it wont work)

Format the microSD card to FAT32 format (quick format is OK).

Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.

Launch GoldCard Tool (Right Click and run as Admin if needed)

Connect Android device to USB and enable USB Debugging (Settings --> Applications --> Developer --> Enable USB Debugging)

Click 'Get CID' (If MMC1 fails try MMC0)

Navigate to psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard, enter the CID number from Goldcard Tool and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.

Enable USB Mass Storage on the Desire if its not on already

Click 'Refresh' and select your microSD card in the drop down menu.

Click 'Load GoldCard.img' and open the .img file you got by email.

Click 'Patch MMC'

Download and run RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

Once the phone is flashed, download OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip and rename it to update.zip

Copy it to your Goldcard and power off the phone

Turn on the phone by pressing the Down arrow Key and the Power Button This will take you to a menu. Using the volume down button to select recovery mode and press the power button.

When you see the image of the phone with an Exclamation mark press the volume up and the power button and select install the contents from update.zip

Hi,FYI after doing this update, your HTC Desire will be recognized as A8181 instead A8183 which not allowing you to use the Next-G network

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmpy:
Really? Thats weard, because I get the H symbol for HDPSA after having done the flash and I made a Speedtest and got around 600 kbps. I did this test before and after the flash.

So I thing your phone gets only a face lift to A8181 but nothing else happens to your antennas frequency.

But I have to say I dont know NextG Network, I´m in Paraguay and we have 3.5G at 850mhz.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmpy:
I got that same message the first time I tried to flash (without a Goldcard), than made the Goldcard and everything went really smooth. But I ran the RUU loosing root, so I could get the OTA Froyo Update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krisbo:
Thanks a million for this!

Followed the steps given here and had no issues at all. Android Version is being reported as 2.2 in the settings. Loving froyo on my Telstra desire. Good to be rid of all the junk the pre-install too! Wi-Fi hotspot is brilliant, that was the only thing I missed about my HD2. Not having any network issues either.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiisa:
The Symbol H will still shown up as it work in 3g network (band 2100Mhz) but not in telstra Next-G network (band 850Mhz).

By changing the radio to A8181 ver. the radio will be changed from:

HSPA/WCDMA: Australia: 850/2100 MHz

GSM: Australia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

source: HTC Australia website (can't post link yet)

to:

HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

source: HTC Global website

Cheers

Another request for A8183 reports...

I too have an A8183 from mobicity. It's just arrived and I haven't done anything except charge it and turn it on (not even a SIM or SD card installed).

I'd really like to upgrade to 2.2 but am concerned as some suggestions that following the process here might change the radio and kill 850.

I am in NZ and obviously need 850Mhz most of the time for XT.

Has anyone else updated an A8183 Desire with 2.2 and can confirm it still works on BOTH 850 and 2100 Mhz in NZ on XT?

Cheers - N
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiisa:
850Mhz = NO

2100Mhz = YES

Here is some quotation from wikipedia regarding XT radio band (its up to you to believe it or not ^_^):

--

WCDMA

The XT Mobile Network is a 3G WCDMA UMTS mobile network which covers 97% of places where New Zealanders 'work and play' using HSPA as its technology for data transmission. It operates at a frequency of 850 MHz, a lower frequency compared to other 3G networks. The 850MHz frequency results in a stronger signal strength throughout New Zealand's particularly mountainous terrain. While lower frequencies have a tendency to be able to curve around obstacles such as hills and buildings, one should not expect to be able to achieve adequate coverage in remote locations such as mountains, forests and national parks.

Phones that are capable of 850 MHz UMTS connections will be able to access the network throughout the country. In some densely populated areas, including the main city centres, handsets will also be able to connect using 2100 MHz UMTS. Many older 3G handsets, manufactured before 2008 only support 2100MHz and would not be well suited to the XT Network as they would only have coverage in areas where 2100 MHz is available -- such as

Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch

. Older handsets would be well suited to use 2degrees or Vodafone for nationwide coverage in NZ.

--

So It means,you can still use your Desire with XT network after update to froyo if you live in those underlined cities since .

Similar to Telstra, 3G network still working (using 2100Mhz) but not for Next-G (850Mhz).

oh btw,

I use 3 Australia (2100Mhz) and my Desire works perfectly even after the update

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AusGeorge:
Problem.

I got to this stage, but when I executed the file on my PC, it installed a bootloader and then asked me to reboot the PC.

After the PC powered down to reboot. Nothing! No BIOS post boot or anything.....

I can't access anything...

It's seems like it flashed something on my motherboard and now I can't boot into anything....

So, what gives? :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EMAWgasm:
Hey guys, I just got me Evo and this is my first Android phone so I'm noob to the max. I've been trying to read up as much as possible, but I'm having a few problems:

I recently rooted using SimpleRoot OTA. I think I'm rooted anyways; I read the instructions/watched the videos and went along with the dude and everything appears to have worked. How do I know if I'm rooted anyways?

Ok, so now I was going to try to install the DamageControl rom, so I downloaded Rom Manager (free) from the marketplace, and when I try to use the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" I get a "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" window. Does this mean I'm not rooted? The only reason I wanted to root was so I could tether to my laptop because I don't have internet in my new apartment yet.

Also, one more thing: I noticed that ever since I rooted, the phone hasn't connected to 4G. I don't know if this is just coincidence or not. I have 4G enabled on the phone, and I normally have great 4G coverage here in Houston, but it hasn't connected yet. Do I need to update the radio?

I'm pretty lost. Any help is appreciated, and if this is covered in any guides I may have missed I'd love a link for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDave1022:
In SimpleRoot OTA, go to the Extras menu and install ClockworkMod from there. I tried the same way you did originally and was stuck for a little bit. Once you install from extras, you can boot into recovery and flash a rom with no issues.

Anybody know where I can get an apk of the stock froyo car home? This Sprint or HTC one that replaced it has no button for music and is thus useless to me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
I have attached it for you....

That being said, to extract any application you may want from the stock ROM all you have to do is download any ROM, stock or not. Open the zip file and go to the folder: 'system > app' Then you'll see all the apk's for the ROM. In this case the apk you were looking for was: "HtcCarPanel.apk"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
I have the pre release 2.2 update installed, is the car panel supposed to have a music button? I've never seen a music button on any of the car panels, I would like to have this as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffeulogy:
thanks a lot for the help though i guess i wasnt clear about what i was looking for. the htc car panel is the one that doesnt have a music button. i just extracted the apk i need from the cyanogen google apps .zip using the method you described so i should be good to go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schoei1:
There’s a secret testing menu hidden within the operating system where you can see detailed diagnostic information not available in your phone’s standard menus.

I found out about this here: techerator.com/2010/04/android-secret-hidden-android-testing-menu

To access the hidden menu, open up the Dialer application and type the following code:

* # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # *

Once you press the last *, you’ll automatically be taken to the hidden menu where you can check out the following options:

Phone information

This menu contains a huge amount of information about your phone’s network connections. The Ping Test is useful if you’re having connection issues, and you can also view your phone’s signal strength.

There are a few extra buttons at the bottom but you should probably leave them alone if you don’t know what they do.

Battery information

This menu is pretty simple but gives you a little more information than the standard Android battery menus. Here you can check out your battery’s health, voltage, and temperature.

Battery history

The battery history menu provides highly detailed information about what has been using your phone’s battery. The default Battery Usage application only shows information since the last time you unplugged your phone, but this menu allows you to specify viewing since you last booted the phone.

You can view battery use by component, such as CPU, network, GPS, sensor, and partial wake. When viewing the application list, titles have a percentage bar displaying how much of the battery they actively used.

Usage statistics

Usage statistics shows you how much you (or your phone) used specific applications. This displays the number of times launched and the total amount of time the application was used.

[Desire General] Palidhje:
First of: YES I tried searching but didn't find my answer (prob didn't know how to search good enough :P). And sry if this is not the right place to post, if so plz a mod move it. Thnx in advance

After not getting my OTA update today I decided to root my desire with Unrevoked 3 and it worked like but I still wasn't able to update the phone via recovery since it just wouldn't start the update.zip.

Than I decided to go for a rom and dwl OpenDesire FroYo and with Rom Manager installed it, but after it finished installing and the phone rebooted it stuck in boot animation (android with glowing animation) and now it won't go any further. Tried using a stock RUU but it said something "Wrong device". (info: I didn't use a gold card since my phone is supposed to be unbranded and unlocked).

Would be very grateful for any help or idea.

Pal
[Desire General] prove:
For how long did you wait when the X was flashing? Sometimes it can take up to 20 min so keep waiting. The animation, is it smooth or does it seem like it freezes and then goes around in a loop in which it freezes in the same place? Before using RUU you should try flashing another rom (dont forget to wipe & everything), after that use RUU but I guess you'll need a gold card anyway.

Good luck!
[Desire General] bradputt:
i always do a ADB logcat to see what's going on behind the bootscreen.

but for your case i think you need a ext3 partition on your SD card.
[Desire General] Palidhje:
Thnx for your help,

1. I waited for like 10 - 15 minutes and nothing. I guess not enough :S :S

2. Yes it is that loop animation that freezes than re starts.

3. I would have tried to re flash but can't open sd in pc, prob have to wait till tomorrow to get a card reader so I can save roms in there.

ADB logcat ? ext3 partition ?! Give me some time to check what those things are :P. Thnx for helping :)
[Desire General] prove:
Yep, sounds like you need a EXT partition on your sd-card!

This is something for you ;)

[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
easytether is working just fine for me with 2.2 Froyo
[EVO 4G General] kb-evo:
same here. And 'funny' enough - when connect USB to comp - my 4G disappear. I didn't have to use anything on 2.1 - just usb sharing . Now tried all 3 progams with no luck. Other usb options are fine. Never rooted.

:confused:

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
Thats because you are suppose to leave usb as charge only, not usb tethering.

You don't pay for usb tethering, so sprint makes your mobile connection go away when trying to use it. So, use something like easytether, but keep it selected as Charge Only with usb debugging on
[EVO 4G General] kb-evo:
Thanks. Connected as charge and works!

Interstingly it shows as local only but whatever, right?

Thanks again, good advice.

I am kind of a noob so please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place, or if there is another post that addresses this.

Are there any roms working for the eris that have a working version of flash 10.1? I would love to be able to watch hulu on my phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gpa111:
Not yet that I'm aware.

Your only chance is in a froyo rom, if your running one and it doesn't have it then no.

I believe part of the problem is the flash libraries are written for processors that are newer than the Eris, so until a dev rewrites the libraries to work with a lower processor, which would be difficult, I don't see it happening.

Could be wrong though :)

BTW just for reference this post should be in the general section :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] capcoward:
I have heard that because the stock eris rom can run flash lite, it is possible for it to run full flash it is just a matter of fixing the code. xtrSENSE supposedly has working flash 10 as an added flash-able zip file, but it doesn't work. Anyway, I hope someone gets this figured out because it would be awesome. Thanks.

Wow that's crap
[Droid Eris Android Development] vash8806:
Flash 10.1 works on 2.1. It's just a matter of it being able to load in time before server determines it fails..( hence the reason why hulu/fancast dont work)

Look for my posts in the link above, you should be able to get it to work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] knowledge13:
There are two releases for the flash 10.1. One for phones running on 2.1 and ones running 2.2. I have the KaosFroyo v39 on my droid eris and tried the flash plugin for 2.2 but it wouldn't install. I downloaded the flash plugin for 2.1 and it installed. I heard the 10.1 plugin for the 2.2 works on the newer droid phones that received the original froyo updates. i can't verify cause i don't own one.

Since I'm new and cannot put links in my post yet, you are going to have to Google them.

Sorry!

Skyfire Browser

I have found that the Skyfire browser app from the market can play flash. If you are using a 2.2 ROM then I suggest installing this app. On a side note I have read the HULU is note making videos available for mobile browsers. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vash8806:
you don't read the posts do you? : p

Skyfire will work with 2.1 & 2.2 w/o any problems.

Yes, Hulu blocks mobile devices.

[Droid Eris Android Development] natemup:
at least until the iOS4 is a viable option later this month...
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
The flash "10.1" is set up.for sense roms. You can install on sense 2.1&2.2. The apk is set up ONLY for sense through.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vash8806:
It'll install but crash your browser. Its not going to work because the developers of flash 10.1 for mobile devices never wrote an "instruction set" for our type of processors, ARM v6.
[Desire Android Development] SanderX:
This is the official froyo rom released by HTC on 1/8/2010. I have removed some apps which I never use, see the changes. And it is rooted of course :)

Changes

- Removed AppSharing

- Removed stocks

- Removed teeter

- Removed flickr

- Removed footprints

- Removed car panel

- Removed quickoffice

- Removed voice search

Download

You will also need the latest radio update which you can download here.

Restoring apps

Here is a little guide to restore apps which I removed:

1. Download "RemovedApps.rar", I attached it.

1. Find the .apk and .odex file of the app and extract them from the rar.

2. Download this ROM and open it with WinRAR, go to /system/app and add the .apk and .odex files you just extracted. Close WinRAR and it should be fine.

Removing other apps

If you want to remove other apps yourself you can also just open the ROM with WinRAR and go to /system/app and delete the .apk and .odex file.
[Desire Android Development] Imperium:
Thanks for the effort! :)

Downloading.
[Desire Android Development] Murd0ck:

Could you drop a guide to remove more apps like Gmail and all the other google appz and still have Sense.

[Desire Android Development] Peikko:
Which languages are available in this rom?
[Desire Android Development] SanderX:
Just be careful, removing specific apps will break things, yes. However I don't know all of the apps that do. I'm sorry ;)

Well, under the language & keyboard settings I can select Dutch, English, French and German. Maybe there are more, I don't know.

If you want to unroot and install a rom that will bring up the ota update as normal do this

Download this rom:

change the name to PB99IMG and put it on your gold card, boot into recovery and select fastboot, it will install the generic 1.21 rom, then when you check for updates the froyo update will be there, btw doing this wipes everything on your phone. Worked for me although I didn't install the froyo update as I am scared of the bootloader.

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?

I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rallemann:
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] george_russos:
Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 71baker:
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.

Wallpaper i guess you know already.

To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.

You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] george_russos:
And I'm asking again.

I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.

aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
