[myTouch 3G, Magic General] razor813:
hey guys, read a lot, complicated root procedure, found this one:

1. install droid explorer (google yourself)

2. get amon recovery image, put into c:\program files\droid explorer\sdk\tools

3. fastboot (hold back + power), cmd: fastboot boot recovery.img

4. then run these

adb shell

mount /system

cd /system/bin

cat sh > su

chmod 4755 su

reboot

Done

why so much hassle :D

*also, you dont have to get root to flash custom rom, just fastboot with amon and flash any rom you like.

Get root is kind of like jailbreak concept in iphone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MRCLrider:
Will this work for the My Touch 1.2 though? What if you are having problems even getting the damn SDK crap to work on your computer system? That **** is driving me nuts!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pdawookie:
Hrrm not newb but feel like one now

I tried this,

I installed Droid Exolorer, it sees my 32A

I downloaded the recovery img

I fastbooted (power + back) now it shows this white screen with

From pc cmd window, in /tools dir, I type fastboot boot recovery.img and I get an error,

Hi, I'm a noob. I've been reading through this site lately and thought I'd finally jump in and try to root. but I am having the same error as pdawookie here.

I did some searching and this method is useless for us users with perfect SPL as told in this thread (since I'm new it won't let me paste an url, but look up "showthread.php?t=529167") looks like it won't work for us US mytouch owners since it doesn't allow fastboot over USB.

BTW, I have a mytouch 3g 1.2 with the 3.5mm headphone jack.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] logicsans:
@pdawookie:

I think you get the fastboot error remote not allow because you have an SPL that doesn't allow it. I get the same thing too, and I have HBOOT 1.33.0007. I read about ways to hack the perfect SPL but none of it worked for me :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Right. This will only work if you have an engineering SPL with S-OFF.

Use other rooting methods, they're available here and on the unlockr site.

@MRCLrider: You can't root your phone without the android SDK installed. Sorry.

NO you should stick with the 4.x series with 2.1. 5.x series radios cause issues.

go back into the recovery and clear cache and factory reset then try to install .zip from sd, select the rom and same thing all over again. changed roms and still the same. the only thing that works it the backup image i made with clockwork before i started. that reloads fine. just wont let me install a rom from root. :(

at your recovery screen do you use your trackball (optical D pad) or do you have to use vol up and down buttons? if you can't use your trackball you'll have to update your recover manually, pm so I'll give you a link, if you can use your trackball then sorry but I do not know what the reason is :(

Do you mean the icon it self transparent?

I have seen some but to be honest I think the Icon needs to be in vibrant color or contrast. Then use glass frame or other effects over or around the icon. I mean transparent Icon are not easy on the eyes unless fixed with a solid background color.

hello, dear senior members. i have one problem with my xperia x10 that its charging jack is damaged so i cannot connect it with computer i want to know that is that possible to update my phone though sd card

waiting for ur reply

if someone dont understand any thing could ask me to explain
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
so basically ur phone jacks messed and your wondering if their is an alternative method to update your software?.. if so then yeah, you can go to settings, about phone then software update.. altho no jack would mean you can't root (if thats what what you wanted)

Anyhu hope that's the answer you were looking for!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] instigator008:
Actually, you can root! Use the standalone .apk method on the Exploid thread.

[Desire General] Alex-V:
If i load my phone over night...it load full (100%) and then the led is green...all ok...but it stop the load on this point i think....because if i look 2-3 hours late the led is green but battery is on 98-99%...

And it does not matter which rom...i see it also on the original 2.1 eclair rom...

So is there a mod to Conservation Load..? or is this only in my phone..?

sorry for bad english...with kind regards...Alex
[Desire General] snapilica2003:
This is a standard behavior and it's not related to the phone. It's related to the battery. It's hard-coded into the battery to behave like this. It's not good for Li-Ion batteries to be kelp at 100% constant so when they reach maximum capacity the controller cut the power so the battery does not stay at 100%. It's how laptop batteries work and it's how all Li-Ion or Li-Polymer should work.
[Desire General] Alex-V:
thanks for the fast and very good answer :)

with kind regards..Alex

Even though I've got my camera set to max resolution and "superfine" quality, when I view the pictures 1-1, there are blatant compression artifacts visible. And the file sizes lead me to believe that the JPEG compression is cranked up way higher than I'd like.

Are there any hidden settings menus for the camera (i.e. *#*#<something>#*#* like for GPS and audio settings)?
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Yes there is a hidden settings menu for the camera. I believe it is posted in the galaxy s forum in a thread containing all of the service menus.

Doesn't look like the camera service menu has any compression settings, unfortunately, but thanks for pointing me to it.

Hey there guys. I love personalizing my phone so I made a bunch of stuff for it, but one thing I though would interest you guys, and perhaps make me a bit of money for rent, is customized boot animations.

Let me show you what I've got on my phone at the moment, to impress you with my amazing animation powers.

files.myfrogbag.com\4nynwo\medroid3.swf

(copy paste into URL bar, replace \ with / and press go.)

What I am offering is to animate anything you desire for your boot animation. This could very well be similar to my boot animation, your face and name animated. Or it could be an elephant riding a unicycle for all I know.

I have to request that you keep it simple. Animation is a long and hard process, and requires hours of work to make a few seconds of animation. I would not normally charge so little for my services, but I am pretty desperate to pay my rent off.

For 10 whole bucks. I will animate 2 to 10 seconds to personalize your android phone.
[Android Themes] userdelroot:
That is pretty cool.
[Android Themes] UrbanMuppet:
Nice work, is animal on the drums not simple enough? :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8aGlOj2VFo
[Android Themes] megaspel:
That would require a whole bunch of frame by frame, it could take days, unless you just want that youtube video cut and put into a boot animation, I could do that for you easily enough.

What phone do you have? Would you like anything extra put above/below the video? Like your name or something, or a colour or whatever.
[Android Themes] UrbanMuppet:
No, not the youtube video.

I'm working on a ROM and thought it would be a sweet boot loader.

http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/267/b/7/b7ee5f4704372422ccc037cc5685a2a9.jpg
[Android Themes] megaspel:
That would seriously require a whole bunch more time and effort. I would be willing to do it for like $40 if you really want it.

You can see more of my work at melior.bioviral.net if you're still interested.
[Android Themes] iamkewl:
LMFAO, $10 for a boot animation.
[Android Themes] stoobs:
It might be better to make some boot animatons first and ask for donations later. That is cool though.
[Android Themes] jamesd86:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this kid might be offering actual customized animations...not just taking images off the internet. Might be worth ten bucks for something truly custom. Just not for me.
[Android Themes] dimebagdan65:
*high five*

Dude, kudos to you for coming up with an enterprising way to make a buck, forget all these haters! Quick question, are you able to do custom boot animations with sound...?

Hello,

Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't seem to find a way to fix my daughters phone. When she turns it on, it goes pass the splash screen and then the phone will just stay at a blank screen. Can someone point me in the right area or show my a step by step to fix this.

Thank You
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gsessons:
OK I figured it out..... I had a idea it was this. Some how her ROM got corrupt, so what I did was just re flashed it. I was having issues with the RUU seeing the phone, so you have to make show you have all the updating drivers, before you try to re flash or it will not see your phone and keep giving you errors.

Now I am at my last step, but she does not have internet, so I can't bypass this google activation. I even tried the 4 corners trick, but no luck.

[P3400 General] saurabh.mjn:

Not really sure about the solution, but i have a simple work around that works on my p3400 WM6.5

2. Restart
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Admittedly, I'm a bit sick of seeing threads flooded with requests for benchmarks scores and I was thinking perhaps someone should consider setting up a table in the wiki with a complete consolidated list of benchmark scores for various firmwares.

Those of us who aren't benchmarkers then don't have to read as many requests for benchmarks, and those who do use them can have easier access to them. What do you guys think?
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
How is this possible, even a complete re-flash will NOT erase the Total Call Counter! Anybody got a solution for this? It cannot be reset ( only the other setting!) .
[XPERIA X2 General] pronor:
Hi, it seems this info is captured on your sim-card.., I guess.
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
On almost any phones the call timer and other relevant timer as the slider counter are stored in a different place.

So unless you find an hacking tool that reset those values they are still consistent, with the phone usage. And there's noting wrong in that.
[XPERIA X2 General] amk:
to tell you that even my local SE office could not change that time, i had my x2 changed - they try to give me a phone with about 400min call - i refused and ask for brand new - they need another 2 days (tried to made it back to 00 but could not) before agreeing to give me a new one with 00:00 time call (3 different IMEI i checked)
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Call timers are not supposed to be easy to reset. This helps prevent fraud!

So basically no one can try to sell a well used device and claim it an new or almost new etc

Hello, there! :)

Here, the Sims 3 HD of my Xperia X10. :D

I have backup it with Titanium Backup.

So you must download and install Titanium Backup before you can install+play The Sims 3 HD.

Titanium Backup can be found on the Market (rooted required)

Here the link of The Sims 3 HD :****

After you download it, you must extract the content of your downloaded file to sd card:/TitaniumBackup folder (if not found it, you can create a folder with name "TitaniumBackup" on your sd card)

Then, go to Titanium Backup app, and then restore The Sims 3 from Backup/Restore tab.

Enjoy your The Sims 3 HD :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dinnu:
Hi Guys

I am experiencing the incorrect phone lock problem. After a soft reset, the phone lock code is not accepted no matter how many times I give it correct. I tried all the possibilities listed in the forums like taking out battery, using the red button on the back to soft reset, etc. I think the only thing I can do is to hard reset as there is no solution to this problem as of now.

Unfortunately I didn't enable automatic periodic backups on my phone. So, with a hard reset I am going to lose all my contacts, text messages and other data. I am not worried about losing them except the text messages, I desperately need them.

I would like to know if there is there still a possibility that I can backup or sync text messages and if possible the contacts as well. I tried using active sync with the phone locked, it didn't work. Hope someone could help me with this.

Thank you

flashlight only works on brightest setting

and when i put the phone to sleep, the keypad led lights stay on, but i read from froyo on a different build that this happens to some people, it could also be a problem with the .cab i installed on win mo, i have it set that whenever win mo is being used/ doing something, the leds stay on, instead of shutting off after 10 seconds, so it could be win mo still is doing some task, like running sense (i have the sense version of android) and thats why the stay on... ill try to figure out the problem soon. (and this doesnt happen when running win mo...)
