no, nothing yet.

I paid on July 30 and it's well Aug 19.

In fact, one of the products I was inquiring about is Korean made and the manufacturer told me it's not going to be on the market at earliest late Holiday season and this company is claiming to sell it already (and I fell for it). DOH!

I will def holler if I ever do get this. I have the crew digging around more though - here in the US and China.

SOMETHING apparently did ship but I know for a fact it has not left China according to the shoddy shipping method. I mean it could be a brick for all I know or just a shipping label. I do not put anything past the whole lot of em over there now. I just do not see any possible way China can be a true economic power with rampant knock offs and fraud.

(sorry for hijacking your thread btw)

I mean maybe in some ridiculous way they did send something but it's not the shipping method I agreed to nor paid for and I refuse to take a fall for this so I'm trying to be pro-active.

Now of course if I do get what I ordered and it really did just LAG I will eat my words give them nothing but praise and for being nothing more than lame in admin as far as shipping method. But for now with all the stuff I've read about them and other companies in general - i am more than skeptical

HTC EVO 4G in Guangzhou

Today I had my struggle in China/ Guangzhou to get my newly delivered Htc Evo 4g working. Initially I thought i could get my card from China mobile ported to a 3G number and use it, but in 4+ shops they didnt want to help me or were not able to. They didnt even bother to ask around or something. And its not the language, since my chinese is actually pretty much ok and they understood what i wanted.

Anyways. Many thanks to " Inti " for the tip trying it with China Telecom! The whole procedure took me only 20 minutes. I opened a new 3g card, put it in my phone and it work. Not even a need for them to enter a ESN / Muid or anything to their system. The best! It didnt cost me a penny or yuan! :D

The basic choices i had were between to schemes. One 49RMB per month and another one with 98RMB/month. Meaning 100/200 free minutes of talking and 250MB/500MB of traffic. The money can be charged by normal charging cards from the street, even be wired to their account or they can take it from yours. You can pay locally in the shop too of course.

If you would want to use your card outside China, which happens to me already when im going to HongKong you would have to put a deposit of 1400RMB one time. Now your 3G will work all over the world until these 1400RMB are used up.

To me its a pretty good deal and i hope it will help someone like i got help many times from this forum.

I use a company account and so its not illegal to do..also I get access to my own account via the web and pay the bill..

as to plans.. I am using the Rmb125 per month with 3gig then I pay another rmb100 for another 3 gig.. so basically until I settle down with my usage I beefed it up.. but it is still on approx$40 per month for a whole lot of usage..

I have used it in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shangdong, and last week up in Changchan with good coverage.. plugging it in to the laptop and using it for good fast internet..

So I hope this helps if someone is thinking of getting one..

I also picked up the extended battery and are so far happy with output on it..

its at 46% after 16 hours of being on.. and I have used it for about 4 hours of wireless tonight.. so got to be happy with that..

I'll post back on the brand of battery I ended buying out of Shenzhen..

MMS in China

Dear good people.

Having my evo on china telecom now for a day and so happy. Here just a few hints that i could have used and also one problem still persists with my mobile.

Of the first sms's i sent out i had only a few going through and some ending up with error codes. After a while i found out that the numbers have to be without any non-numeric symbols. for example number with +8613xxxxxxxxx wont work because of the Plus-sign. It has to be 008613xxxxxxxx or without the country code 13xxxxxxxxx. Also numbers with the "-" inside wont work like xxxx-xxxx-xx-xx.

Then i recieved an MMS but couldnt download it. And I also cant send any. That is unfortunately not depending on the number scheme, I tried everything.

Anyone has the same problem out there in China? My phone is using the standard root spring rom 2.2 .

Would be cool if anyone with working MMS could type in ##3282# ,go to "view-mode" and post all the settings you got.

cheers in advance and help needed...
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Even if you had the settings from sprint, you'd still need to adjust them to the carrier ib China to make MMS work over there...

mms in china with china telecom

That is why im asking if someone has MMS working in China with Evo and China Telecom? If so if that person could please post the settings.

The settings from Sprint I have myself which obviously dont work unfortunately.

It's not that im using MMS frequently but it kind of annoys me that it doesnt work up to now. All the rest is working fine with my evo and I love to use it.

The standard settings for GSM/CDMA from China telecom are the following, also confirmed by the hotline, but I actually think they didnt quiet get me when i told them i have a CDMA phone 'only'.

MMS Server URL: mmsc.vnet.mobi

HTTP Server : 10.0.0.200:80

I put in those things in through ##3282# and edit mode. Tried leaving the RTSP Server blank/on zero and other combinations. Couldnt get anything to work. Always get network failure or some other warnings for sending and downloading MMS.

My hope is that someone is out there with Evo + China Telecom + working MMS and if that someone could post the settings?

MMS protocol: wap 2.0

hope this helps..
[EVO 4G General] sunnysonic:
Thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate, but where can you set the mms protocol on your evo? I don't have anything like that. Are you using the standard sprint rom like me in version 2.2 ? The settings you posted I found on the net as well but somehow it seems more for gsm phones.

On my evo I have no chance to get to mms settings but typing in ##3282# and then to go to view/edit mode.
[EVO 4G General] dgcruzing:
sunny,

I am not going to be much help.. as just tested it..

can send a pic via email.. but not via mms.. as it is failing..

as to the settings.. I can see them from within the htc message program..

just go into the settings and you will see them all.. in mine they are greyed out..

so... i dont know if you can change them anyway..

I dont use the phone for mms anyway.. so not too much of a worry for me..

good luck with it..

Have you tried changing the app MMS.apk to the incredible one and adding an APN? You can set many things there.. Hope this helps. (Use VOICE DIALER and say "OPEN APNS" to open the APN list)

@ dgcruzing: Thanks for trying anyway!

@ m4f1050: Thanks as well. That seems to be a step in the right direction. At least i can get now to the APN settings on my evo.

For the moment Im trying different combinations of Mms.apk and APN settings. All dont work so far but will keep trying and keep everyone posted here.

Re: update your Rom & force Close of com.google.process.gapps

"force Close of com.google.process.gapps"

Had same problems.. started last night when I tried to use my VPN on the phone to sign in to Market.. once signed in.. google accounts asked me to sign in again..(verify account) big mistake.. as it seems that it has registered me twice on the phone somehow..

anyway.. the FC on sync came thick and fast.. was out last night.. so couldn't actually take the time to check what was going on..

today did some research..

so the question is.. if i do a hard reset.. will I lose the actually settings that make it hook in to the phone network?

and I suppose from this we get.. how do I pull all of these settings out of the phone to reuse them again after the reset?

Edit:

As a followup.. and to answer my own questions.. no loss of actual communication on a full install of a new Rom..

after searching the net for the last few days for a fix.. its seems to be a Android bug.. no amount of wipes and resets put me back on track..

So in the end I went for a fresh Rom...

also update the Kernel with..

Happy to say.. all fixed and now looking good again..

main points out of this is..

1: as those of us in China that have brought a Evo and had it worked on here to hook in to the CDMA network.. and are rooted.. I can report.. you can upgrade your Rom..

2: upgrading the Rom will allow you to shift a lot of Programs off the Phone to SDcard.. with Apps2SD which most 2.2 Roms have as norm..

3: you get a new look and feel to the phone..

I did as the instructions said and installed the Rom and new Radio's and all working well..

Hi Everyone!

I have a HTC Magic with 1.5 and HTC Sense (32a - black edition from Three Austria).

I wasn't able too root my phone or to install custom roms because I didn't want to make a "GoldCard" - and I am honest - it was very complicated (especially for 32a).

Now I have read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747598

Can someone please answer me the following questions:

1. Will it work on my version of the HTC Magic?

2. Will I be able to install Custom Roms (e.x: Cyanogen)

If the 2 questions must be answered with NO - can anyone give me a real simple step-by-step description of the procedure?

Thanks.

1. May be. In notes to 1clickroot application writen, that it uses exploit. There is no stats what rom has/hasn't this exploit

2. There is one method. To install any custom ROM you must change stock recovery to custom. To do this, you must get root (su binary) and flash_image binary (if your ROM hasn't).

Then you can custom flash recovery via flash_image

adb shell
su
flash_image flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Then you can flash custom ROM via recovery (according your current radio 3.22.XX.XX aka old_radio)

This way used on HTC Tattoo

Universal Androot is working on these phones. Find it, install the apk, run it... you will then have root...

Then through ADB you install your recovery, then through recovery you install your rom.

Takes about 20min minus if you need/want to change radios/spls

Excellent! I read a tweet from Cyanogen:

I know that this 1-click root is taking advantage of the exploit in some roms, so after reading this tweet from Cyan, it doesn't seem that it's going to last for very much longer. Next OTA and next generation devices may not work with this method. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sureer:
hi, i tend to agree with you. i did run the universalandroot.apk. i did get the superuser permissions apps. however, when i tried to run titanium backup and adfree, i got message saying that they can't access the root privileges. when I ran busybox installer, it said that my phone is rooted but busybox is not found.

so, if anyone was successfull in rooting their htc magic 1.5, please share some information to do so.

I just put my hand in the fire, ran the RUU and tested the APP.

DISABLE install Superuser.apk OR IT WILL FAIL!

wwhy so? how else would you get superuser adb?

You still get superuser you just dont get the prompt to allow or deny it on your phone...

Did I not write clearly enough?

Because it wouldn't work for me if i left it enabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hanneskitz:
And after this I am able to install a custom rom? Or do I have to put the recovery on first?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
The application only enables you to flash a custom recovery and then from it you can flash any ROM you want.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
So basically you do the following.

1. install the application.

2. disable install superuser.apk

3. click root

4. exit the app

5. open a terminal

6. write su

7. write flash_image recovery /path/recoveryname.img

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] noroses:
I was just saying what happened in my particular situation. I'm editing my previous post so there is no more confusion on this matter ;)

I was hopping that this method you'd work for me since I wanted to backup my present ROM as it is. I have 32A with the latest update (Sense UI, spl 1.76.0009). I know that there is the orange_24 method but this seemed easier and would enable me to backup.

Do you have any idea of what could be wrong?

OK for Magic 32B 1.6 ? Does Unroot works ?

Hi everybody !

I have two questions about Universal Androot, and as the N1 topic (that introduce the app) clearly don't want to ear about other phones, I'm posting here my 2 questions:

I've read on the N1 topic that Universal Androot works with Magic 32B 1.6.

1- Can someone which did it confirm ? (Answer post #31: It works for Magic 32B with Android 1.6)

I'm quite intrested in the root/unroot option. Many people are very happy to have their phone rooted, and share it on the forum.

2- But can someone tells me if the UNROOT option works too ? (Answer post #41: Unroot, seems to work, tested with Titanium Backup which needs to be root)

Thanks a lot for your time !

See U ;)

[Edit] I've tried to root my Magic 32B with Android 1.6 (Fra - SFR) today: Works perfectly ! If Universal Androot says that the phone is already rooted and if the phone it is not, then click root "again". [/Edit]

Universal Androroot 1.5.2 on MT3G 32B

I'm a rooting & ROM Manager newbie, and I am not having success Rebooting into Recovery or Installing ROM from SD card. I suspect both are because I cannot boot into Recovery.

I rooted my stock MyTouch 3G (PVT32B) yesterday using Universal Androot 1.5.3. That was a simple process, and I have since successfully installed and used SHOOTME and Titanium Backup 3.3.6 with BusyBox 1.16.0. So no problems there.

I also installed ROM Manager v.2.0.1.7, and sucessfully Flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1. Or at least, it says I did. I selected the "Ion/MyTouch 3G (GSM)" model and the message "successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!" apppeared.

But every time I either try to reboot into recovery mode manually (pressing & holding power+home to start up my phone), or by selecting Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager, it hangs at the screen with the handset next to the triangle with the exclamation point, and the phone reboots after about 45 seconds. It looks similar to the attachment jpeg below (but not exactly):

Anyway. After some trial and error I noticed that if I release the power+home buttons and press them again while stuck at that screen, this appears:

Android system recovery <2e>

Use trackball to highlight:
click to select.

reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]
wipe cache partition
---------------------------------------------

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/com
mand

Which looks like it might be a default Android recovery screen, and leads me to believe that ROM Manager is not telling me the truth about flashing the Recovery image. I wonder if the error at the bottom could be a clue, but I don't know what to make of it. If I select the "reboot system now" option, the phone reboots normally.

So, I'm not sure what to do next. Any suggestions?

I'd like to install Cyanogenmod (preferably 5.0.8, but maybe 6.0.0-RC2). I have been able to download both of those ROMs successfully using ROM Manager, but the install immediately gets stuck when it tries to reboot into Recovery (same as above). So I appear to be stuck.

From what I've read so far, one option would be to try a slightly older version of ClockworkMod's Recovery. I think I'll try that later tonight when I'm a stable wifi connection to use.

Again, any help would be appreciated. I would love to say goodbye to crappy stock donut!

original myTouch 3G (PVT32B) currently running stock Android 1.6

16GB microSD card installed

rooted via Universal Androot 1.5.3

running ROM Manager 2.0.1.7

UPDATE: I have since found out that this is completely normal. That stock/vanilla Android 1.6 re-flashes the default recovery as soon as it completes a normal boot cycle. So the normal process is to: flash a new recovery, boot into that new recovery, and then install another ROM .img (which should leave the new recovery alone if it's a mod'ed ROM). But if you reboot the stock ROM instead, you need to start the process over by re-flashing the recovery again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] etanonline:
So you answer my first question, by confirming that rooting Magic 32B with 1.6 works.

Can you test if the unroot option works too ? (as rooting works for you, you'll can re-root your phone just after)

Thanks !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I'd love to be able to help you.

Maybe you could try doing mount -a before issuing the flash command.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Yes that is the normal android recovery. You should download a recovery of your choice and put it on the root of your sdcard. Afterwards enter Terminal and type the following

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameoftherecovery.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daehl:
Thanks for the advice, but that's part of the problem. I'm not sure how to choose (or where to find) recovery images other than what's included with ROM Manager. And ROM Manager says it can install older versions of ClockworkMod. I read somewhere else that another MT3G 32B owner had success by installing a version that was two releases older than the current release (2.5.0.1). Another poster said he installed the ROM Manager's Alternate Recovery (RA Recovery v1.7.0G) and then re-flashed ClockworkMOD 2.5.0.1 and it worked.

What I'm unsure about is what's the differences between the recovery versions (are there pitfalls to avoid?) and which is the "best" for a newbie who wants to install CM 5.0.8 ?

Another thing I noticed with ROM Manager is that when I try to Fix Permissions it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privaleged commands!". But that shouldn't happen if it's rooted, right? I went to the ROM Manager web site looking for instructions and also posted to the forums, but haven't found anything yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daehl:
Well, I can confirm that when I pressed the UnRoot :-( button, it replied with "Unroot! You became a slave of this evil device.." :D

And when I tried running Titanium Backup it says I am no longer root.

Then I re-activated the Root :-) button in Androot 1.5.3 and Titanium Backup runs again.

What I'm not sure of is whether I should be installing the "Superuser for Android 1.5/1.6" or "Do not install Superuser". I would think it would be required to be "root" (aren't they the same?), but I read somewhere else that on a MT3G you should not install Superuser if you want CyanogenMod to install properly (apparently it prevents all the "...has been granted superuser permissions" dialogs diappear). Seems unnecessary to me, but as usual, there's no documentation provided with this app. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hayer:
so i have rogers htc magic 32a black sense ui 1.5 with the perfect spl and if im correct the way to install 1 click root is to NOT install superuser correct? After that say if i want to install cm 6 do i need to update my radio or am i fine?
