I'm following the instructions for rooting, but when I plug my phone into the pc nothing is happening...
[Desire Android Development] nodiaque:
is usb debugging active?

check that you didn't already selected "charge only" with the "don't ask again" option (check in settings for syncing setup).

Change usb port

check device manager

check if cellphone is charging
[Desire Android Development] Dave31:
Debugging is active. I don't know how to stop device from charging. I select disk drive. What about the device manager should I be checking?
[Desire Android Development] nodiaque:
check to see if a new device appear when you connect.

Change usb port
[Desire Android Development] Dave31:
The device appears on the pc, just the unrevoked 3 isn't detecting anything. I have it set to mount as disk drive. Is there anything else I should know?

I just changed the usb port and now it's saying "pushing recovery image"

Thank you very much. Just as a question, how long should I expect? 10 minutes or so?
[Desire Android Development] gorbatche:
Wow! Great guide; flashed my Telus Desire to LeeDroid 2.1. Now I'm getting awesome battery life and performance. Froyo is nifty too.
[Desire Android Development] decepticon:
Are the radios compatible with the 8182?

Could I flash 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 to it or is it like the Magic where the NAM version is a different radio.
[Desire Android Development] slimdizzy:
All the radios will work with the Telus device and rooting using the method I described. I have not found one yet the does not work with my device. Currently using 5.09.05.30_2.
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
I broke the 5Mbs barrier over HSDPA using that radio with Cyanogen 6.0.2. And GPS locks within seconds.

Anything missing/different from this "Custom Rom" version of Froyo and what's expected to be on the "Official" version later this month?...

*posting to add this to my subscriptions*
[Desire Android Development] ringer13:
if i may ask, what is the point of updating the radio? do custom roms require it? does it improve performance? my radio is working perfectly right now, and if i root, i want to flash as little as possible...

thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Newer radios are "supposed" to be an improvement over the last...obviously, but different radio versions work better on different networks.

I'm using 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 (the latest) on Rogers with an unlocked Telus Desire and it seems to work great....I get a GPS lock super fast, and my download speeds have improved a small bit over my last radio......most newer ROMS require a newer radio version in order for the camera to work, but other than that it's usually just a personal preference.....
[Desire Android Development] maddave2000:
Really stupid noob question, but can I just confirm;

If I follow steps 1 to 7 in your original post, I will gain Root access on my HTC Desire (which is unbranded and currently running Froyo)?

I only want to be able to remove the HTC installed apps, (stocks, footprints, peep etc) to get some space back, without changing anything else about the phone.

Would this be the way to do this?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Removing HTC apps will only free up a couple MB, there's no point, and if you root your phone and then flash a ROM like OpenDesire you won't have any apps, it's just a stock 2.2 install with root. If you need more space just load apps or music or whatever you need space for on your memory card, I have 8GB and never need more space......
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Removing those won't make a difference because they're installed in /system/app and the internal space we use is in /data/app. Just install something like teppic74's prerooted Froyo (make sure you create a goldcard) and install the apps2sd mod and you can then not worry about space- I created a 1GB ext3 partition on my sdcard for it.
[Desire Android Development] BriEE:
So opendesire is a blank slate basically? It comes with google apps though right?

Just seems like too much crap going on in some builds
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Yes OpenDesire and some other ROMs include Google apps, the vanilla CyanogenMod doesn't, however CM based roms such as OpenDesire and Defrost might soon not be allowed to pack Google apps as part of the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] BriEE:
Hmm.

I don't know if there is the place to ask but, if we're always swapping ROM and such and do a wipe, how do you put back all the customizations back, do you guys do this manually?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
If you're using Froyo Google backs up all your apps in the cloud, so when you do a wipe as soon as you boot into a new ROM it restores all your apps from the market automatically. Better yet you can use a program like Titanium Backup, it will do everything Google does and lots more, you can even have it restore your shortcuts.

Google does a pretty good job on its own though, after a wipe Google will restore your background, all your settings, ringtones etc...plus your apps. Most people don't need much more.

Typically you find a ROM you like and stick with it, so when you upgrade your ROM to the same ROM you don't usually need to do a wipe!
[Desire Android Development] slimdizzy:
You can use either Google to backup your stuff (Settings > Privacy > Backup/Restore tick boxes) or use a program like Titanium Backup to do it for you.
[Desire Android Development] BriEE:
awesome, thanks! It seemed to work automagically when I reinstalled my ROM yesterday! Sorta cool.
[Desire Android Development] desirehtc2010:
I have a question about rooting. i tried it before but it was unsuccessful. during the rooting process, my phone hanged. after that first attempt, i cant seem to be able to do it. I followed the procedure but unrevoked for some reason cannot detect my phone any more. I cant do to recovery mode as well. when i clock recovery from HBOOT, i get HTC logo and it stays there. it has lik
[Desire Android Development] firebelly:
ok just a noob so bear with me

What does clearstorage do?

I mean I want to know what it does other than clear storage, is it the internal memory or the sd card

if i just want to unlock and not install a new rom

upto which step should I go I am thinking no. 7
[Desire Android Development] BriEE:
Why do you want to root (not unlock, that's for SIM unlock) it if you're not going to do any rom install or customization? There's really no benefit almost if you just root it.

If anything, flash a modded stock HTC Sense rom.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Unlocking is not done by rooting your phone, you need to get an unlock code to unlock your phone.....2 very different things!

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armyjon88:
This file is from the new ota update from tmobile which patches the root process that we have the file is located

/etc/firmware

And named

Tiinit_7.2.31.bts

That is after it is installed

And is it safe to remove I'm at work right now so I don't have access to a computer but if someone that isn't rooted and is all stock + ota can remove this and then try the root process id be most appriecative.

That is if you even can remove it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
I believe that's a firmware file for the radio chip (by texas instruments). If I'm right, you'd be pretty sorry if you removed it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frogomatic:
Does anyone know the specifics -- sensitivity, noise, response time, etc -- of the magnetic sensors (three-axis fluxgate magnetometer, I assume) used for the compass? If not, would HTC be likely to respond to questions about this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
You could always try. I've never seen the specs for most of the sensors, so talking to HTC may be your best bet. Another thing to try is iFixit or another group that has taken apart the Evo and identified various components. If they can identify the component, it may be possible to find the specs, provided they can get enough details on the component. I don't know much, but thought I'd try to help out. Definitely try HTC.
[HD2 General] Ibar300:
My phone has stopped switching to landscape view for text messages. It used to work and will still work in other applications, just not when texting. I have searched around the forums here and also the numerous settings on the phone but can't find anything that will turn this on or off.

Any help much appreciated
[Desire General] AdamZA:
Anyone else noticed this?

I used to have good reception while at home when I was on 2.1 but after debranding my Vodafone desire and installing Froyo ota, I find that my calls are much more likely to be dropped and it can sometimes take half an hour to receive texts and go some cases I don't even get them until the next day.

Any ideas? Might end up trying to rebrand when Vodafone release Froyo at this rate!
[Desire General] Mr_Maz:
yeah, i;ve spotted the same, lots of fluctuation aswell.

However, called my handset from another number when on Zero bars(but the locked sign above) and call came through fine.

try it and see
[Desire General] AdamZA:
Given this a try now - refreshing to know that I've still got some reception but doesn't help when my calls are dropped and my friends keep breaking up when I'm speaking to them.

Also doesn't help the text problem - missed an urgent and important text over the weekend cos it came 2 hours late!

Plus, its annoying cos I've been preaching Android over everything else and saying how we get major updates etc - don't want people to start associating the problems with the phone now!

Is it possible that its the way the code is written in Froyo and it could be changed in a rooted ROM?
[Desire General] Deleted member 2480269:
I rooted and installed the latest OTA + Radio (Rooted version's of course) and i experience this issue.

It feel's that with the 2.1 radio's it wouldnt update the signal as fast as the 2.2 radio's...Aka i cup my hand on 2.2 and it instantly updates that i've lost signal, with 2.1 it would take a second or 2

I just find it strange that my phone will say 0 bar's but yet i can still recieve call/s'msg's. I'll downgrade to 2.1 until a better radio comes out
[Desire General] grigoris_a:
I can confirm too.Signal is worse.If i switch to GSM only i have problems in data connecting.
[Desire General] flashflash:
There is another thread on this, its suggested that HTC are aware of the issue and will release another update. For me the 3g performance is now a joke. I have emailed HTC myself but have not got a reply.
[Desire General] mrdo:
i'm glad that someone has contacted htc about this because i can no longer use 3g in my own home which is annoying to say the least ...
[Desire General] AdamZA:
Agreed - 3G is a joke on my phone at the moment too.

Is anyone having trouble with texts and dropped calls though? Or is that just me?

Let's hope HTC are quick to sort out a fix.

Edit: maybe my area is just a bit worse off for reception?
[Desire General] DesRoid:
No issues here I'm on leedroid Rom though.
[Desire General] flashflash:
OK, had a reply from HTC and surprise surprise they admit to changing the signal display algorithm! Aka Apples big antenna software fix!

Now whilst I agree it shouldn't cause more problems with regard to calls and data but I am having more dropped calls and earlier on today the phone got locked into emergency service only mode for 20 mins in an area I know has excellent coverage. So something else must be going on....
[Desire General] maxon25:
Hi, I have had these same issues with signal. Since being on froyo 2.2 i have gone from 3-4 full bars to 1-2 bars then losing 3g. some times my network connection stays on G and to get my 3g back i turn phone off then on and i get 3g back.

I have also noticed theat the phone gets really hot wen on the browser and using the camer.

Im also getting large amounts of battery drain that i never got on 2.1.

My phone at times tends to go laggy which i never had on 2.1.

I think HTC have rushed this out, it could of done with being perfected first before release.
[Desire General] flashflash:
Guys, Everyone that has this problem need to contact HTC. Even after them admitting they have changed the signal algorithm, they are disputing any issues with 2.2 with regards to the signal. Ususal crap "Hard Reset, change SIM or send in phone for repair".
[Desire General] mrdo:
how did you contact them ? do you have a contact email address ?
[Desire General] flashflash:
http://www.htc.com/europe/CS_Mail.aspx
[Desire General] Dominikm:
Reception problems

I have the same problems, very serious. Just have sent email to HTC.
[Desire General] AdamZA:
This is really annoying me now.

I'm getting more dropped calls, more likely to receive text messages late and, to top it all off, most texts I send now fail on the first and sometimes second attempt.

Internet is now rubbish apart from when using WiFi.

Almost wish I stayed on Eclair!

Has anyone had a reply from HTC?
[Desire General] flashflash:
ongoing dialog with HTC, they tried to fob me off with hard reset, new sim etc and then send in handset for repair. No way am I going to send in for repair because this is clearly a software issue. They have admitted to changing the signal algorithm, so clearly this is having a knock on effect elsewhere within the radio firmware.

*Last comm with HTC is they are going to raise this issue with the engineers.

Keep on emailing HTC everybody.
[Desire General] flashflash:
msg from HTC "Your issue has been escalated today, we will contact you. "
[Desire General] mrdo:
thanks - email sent ...
[Desire General] kebsood:
I'm using the latest radio and cyanogen 6.0.0 RC2 and my reception has improved greatly. Also Bluetooth seems to be working a lot better now with my hands free car kit. Was a T-Mobile branded desire...

Sent from my modded HTC Desire... oh yea!
[Desire General] Dominikm:
HTC told me to make factory reset, which I made and still have a problem, of course.
[Desire General] Denisoftus:
No problems here, so far so good.sim free desire, official froyo.
[Desire General] snudel:
i did hard reset after upgrading to 2.2

it looks that the reception is bad.

but i have no impact actually.

even with 0 bars i can make clear calls. no drops.

its just the look.
[Desire General] coercri:
I'm on latest Modoco Froyo ROM and latest radio and I've never had the 3G and H displayed so often on T-Mobile/.
[Desire General] mrdo:
i'm reluctant to do a hard reset and then spend a couple of hours re-installing my apps and customising my phone again. sigh.
[Desire General] flashflash:
would not bother with a factory reset, it made no difference to me. The "Factory Reset" is just HTC's standard solution to everything.
[Desire General] syla:
i have the same problem... very poor reception since i updated to 2.2... Had 4 bars gprs and now i have no signal at home.

Outside i nearly never get 3g or H...

Sent my phone to repair,... wait and see

I'm on SFR(vodafone) in france
[Desire General] Dominikm:
Now it's clear that is radio ROM software problem after updating to Froyo. If we have unrooted phones all we can do is wait for new software for GSM/UMTS radio. I hope it will be soon. HTC please, do it quick!
[Desire General] stooby:
No problems on mine running LeeDroid 1.8c on 3UK.
[Desire General] freakzone:
I had the same problem with both 5xxx08 and 5xxx20 radios. The rom doesn't matter, as a hard reset doesn't matter as it doesn't change the radio image. The radio is responsible for reception, wifi, gps and some other stuff

I had 3bars at home then with 2.2 I got 0-1, so I reverted to 4xxxx radio and 2.1, no worries with it
[Desire General] flashflash:
I know that HTC have admitted changing the signal algorithm (I guess due to the iPhone signal issues) so it looks like the signal is lower that it was before but is infact the same. However, I am defiantly dropping more calls and having more data issues. Also the percentage in settings that shows time without a signal has gone through the roof.

I am not going to root the phone and start messing around with Rom and radios. After 8 years of doing that with win mo I can't be arsed anymore.
[Desire General] snudel:
100% agreement
[Desire General] freakzone:
what does the iphone have to do with the desire

radios:confused::confused:

no one gives a **** about it except for the zombies and the apple:D:D:D
[Desire General] syla:
I everyone I'm in france on SFR (vodafone in france) and i have ****ing reception problems : in many places I simply have no signal when my ancient phone (htc magic) have 4 bars... I send it to repair they changed the antenna but I did not notice every improvement.... I think I will contact HTC for exchange with a new one (SLCD)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hydkrash:
I think this might have been asked randomly in the forum, but does anyone have the CSC & the Modem files for the DXJF4 firmware?

I can find the PDA for the DXJF4 on the internet, but just simply can't find the modem and CSC files.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sardroid:
Look here: http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm?referer=AffiliateNetwork
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] artronnie:
CSC and Modem are already included in the PDA file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hydkrash:
So I can actually use the same PDA file as the modem and csc file as well?

Or do I have to extract the files in it out and re tar the archive?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Roy Ngan:
read the flashing tutorial (PDF) published in samsung-firmwares carefully, Point #2, it stated that if PDA is the only file you have, you can flash it with that 1 single file, no further extraction is needed.

"Open in ODIN the flash files and the .PIT file (use PDA if you’ve got only one file inside the firmware)."
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] artronnie:
If I got your question correctly, then no. Don't extract the tar archive. Put the DXJF4 PDA file (AP_S1_PDA_DXJF4_CL363024.tar) on PDA,

leave

the phone and CSC section blank (don't put AP_S1_PDA_DXJF4_CL363024.tar on the phone and CSC section).

Also, I succeed in flashing DXJF4 using 513 pit. 512 didn't work at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hydkrash:
Hey thanks artronnie, just what I was looking for. Just tested that and its all fine now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudoGris:
This just started happening today. I plug in the phone to my XP computer and when the SD card mounts the HTC Sense home page refreshes. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a way to stop it?

And, yes I know about Launcher Pro and ADW (I actually love Launcher Pro Plus but I am waiting till all Fede's widgest are done before switching), so I was just looking for how to fix Sense not switch to a new home.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bludragon742:
My phone does the same but I think it's because some of my apps are on the microSD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudoGris:
So 2.2 made apps on SD possible and then HTC screwed it up by making your entire home screen refresh due to this?

Great job HTC!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
What's the big deal exactly? You have to unmount from a computer to have it do this, and 9 times out of 10 you don't need to use the homescreen in the following 10 seconds. It's handy, since it makes sure you don't get stuck with random shortcuts not having the proper icons. I'm sure HTC will make it better in the future, but I don't see how its really a problem. It doesn't mess anything up, nor does it hinder anything. You got AppstoSD, just be happy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudoGris:
Never cared about Apps2SD. I don't have enough apps to require it be moved, and the size of the internal memory is plenty. This happens when I mount the disk and unmount the disk, and it is a big deal having to wait for every screen to reload. Bookmarks, Twitter, Agenda, clock, weather, widgets, everything has to reload, and it doesn't reload until I go to the page. This means that even if I put it down after disconnecting, I am still forced to wait while I look at my agenda or bookmarks. VERY annoying.

And after checking, I only have one app on the SD card, so it can't be that.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dapplebee:
hello i am very new to this forum but i have heard xda is the place for anything cell phones.

i just recently got a tp2 and my carrier is sprint.

what must i do to my phone to get the most out of it? and is there a way to run att's tilt on my tp2?

thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] M_T_M:
Hello and welcome :)

Fist thing is to read, search and learn.

Now regarding your post...It's a little confusing :confused:

You have Sprint, right? CDMA Service

You got a TP2, right? GSM required

You want to turn your TP2 into a Tiltl II? Got me there :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dapplebee:
i saw att's tilt and the main screen i thought was a lot cleaner, meaning less **** on it. clock and calendar. any way i can customize it so i only have that. i want to be able to see more than 1 event at a time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] M_T_M:
There you go...so, you want the Tilt2 screen on your phone?

Have you visited the TP2 section and looked at the custom ROM (the operational system)?

I will advice you to do so. Read "everything" and don't skip a single step.

Go here and read the Noob guide to flashing

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490

After that look at the various programs available for your phone.

Last question....do you have Sprint?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dapplebee:
yes i have sprint?

and thank you i will go do that right now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] M_T_M:
Like I said....read everything. If I'm nor mistaken...your phone is CDMA and has a gsm card, right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dapplebee:
yes it does. i looked through the forum and found alot of roms but with the roms i need the function of a windows phone for work but i want to be able to see more than just one event on my calendar at a time on the home screen
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] M_T_M:
Try NRG's Co0kie.23XXX or DotComp Deepshinig. By using CHT you'll be able to edit the amount of events.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
The look on the ATT Tilt2 is not really specific to ATT. Only thing specific to ATT is the ugly blue theme and wallpaper.

The HTC homepage interface is Sense, and 2.5 is the latest and prettiest. Find a custom ROM you like which includes Sense 2.5 and the Cookie Home Tab (a user made mod), and customize away.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niw559:
is it possable? or is it tmobile only. i know how to flash a rom and add radios but still concider my self a newb.... didnt see the answer in wiki
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_T_M:
Is it possible...yes

I will make sure the phone itself can handle ATT's network bands

exe given:GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz T-Mobile

ATT:AT&T uses both the 850MHz & 1900MHz bands

As long as this match..you should be ok ;)

Feel free to do some more reserarch and read...a lot. That way you can educate yourself and become an experienced XDA member :)
