[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satansgutter:
Hey everyone,

I'm new to the site and really like the forums so much information and you all seem to be pretty helpfull. I have a been trying to make sense of it all but getting confused as to what ROM I should use and what version etc. So if I just state what I have and what I want to do below maybe you can help me :D I have flashed phones before but no HTC's or XDA's lol

Ok so I have a T-Mobile HTC Hero and I want to debrand it and install all the latest generic official software that I can for it, so its effectively fully updated with official software and debranded. I also want to unlock it but I'm aware this cant be done via any flashing methods so I will pay for a service to do that.

I'm going to post some information I got from the phone below and hopefully you guys can give me some links and away I go :D

Model Number:	T-Mobile G2 Touch

Firmware Version:	1.5

Basband Version:	63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25

Kernel Version:	2.6.27-a5504199

Build Number:	1.76.110.6 146733 CL#47214 release-keys

Software Version:	1.0.0.A6288

I am in the UK too and plan on using an O2 sim later,

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
You can unlock it, update to the latest 2.1 official firmware then check the sticky with the explenation. Or use goldcard method.

If you're gonna do research atleast do it right.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
For future reference, the development section is not the place for Q&As, this post will be moved by one of the mods but please remember for next time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Too late... Already moved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satansgutter:
How do I unlock it? How do update to the latest 2.1 official firmware? Which sticky is that I should check?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Ok, yep for the unlock you will need to buy an unlock code.

As for the debrand, I recommend BTDAGs guide linked in my signature.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satansgutter:
Ok then thanks mate! Will check it out now :D

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satansgutter:
Ok I installed "VillainROM12.0.0-Full-signed.zip" should I upgrade the radio?

Also I still have the "G2 Touch" and "T-Mobile" splash screens when I switch on the phone as well as the "VillainRom" one too.

Can I replace these with the stock HTC Hero ones?

Is there a zipped official HTC Hero rom I can install instead of the Villain one?

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demp:
I walk through really loud places on my way to work and back home, and I can hardly hear anything on my earphones (in-ear even). Either my hearing is not at all what it used to, or the volume is just too low.

Is it possible (or is there already a way) to increase the earphones volume above the current limit? (a kernel patch or whatever determines the volume limit)

I know it's a slippery slope to an impaired hearing, but I'll take my chances.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murd0ck:
ye would be nice if it could do some more db it is pretty low even at full volume.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safeplayer22:
I did a search and came up with nothing. Sorry if it's been asked.

Is there a way to make the trackball work like a mouse when browsing? I know that you can scroll on links with it but I would like another option to scroll.

Please direct me to the correct thread if I missed it on the search. Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danguyf:
How does your's work? What browser and version are you running?

Mine totally works like a mouse scroll.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gratti:
I have stock froyo, and for me I can only use the trackball to scroll through links on the browser.

I did some digging and couldn't find any settings to enable the trackball to work as a mouse.

So how you did it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safeplayer22:
I use the Rodriguezstyle ROM. I'm in the same boat as gratti but I use the Dolphin HD browser. I can only scroll through links but not scroll like a normal mouse like on a regular PC.

One of the biggest reason I want to be able to use it like a mouse scroll is (if it's even possible at all) when I play some flash games, I would like to be able to scroll to the buttons I want to press instead of using my fingers (which is pretty hard to do). And of course since I am only able to scroll through links, it does not allow me to click the controls in the flash games.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Have you guys tried using Opera Mini, it makes the track ball work as a mouse, but then agains it isnt the best browser.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norazi:
i think dolphin hd lets u use the volume buttons as a scroll
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safeplayer22:
Right, that I know and it has a lot less options and functions than DHD.

I know about scrolling with the volume button on DHD, but that just makes no sense cause what if you want to increase/decrease the volume while you are on the webpage?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSSJ:
Hi folks,

Since I last upgraded my phone I was to quick in root my milestone, so I don't know if I have the 2.36 build now...using G.O.T recovery mod with custom build.prop by the way which overwrites with custom character strings (like G.O.T mod or similar)...

Also I had the Xing-app on my phone after upgrading - is this a sign that I have the 2.36 release?

Regards

/Edit: I ask because I recently wanted to change a theme (desire for 2.36 rlz) and the result was a classic boot loop at the M-Logo....so I wondered if I meet the pre-requisites...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickwir:
I just put CM6 RC3 on my N1 last night and i seems to be working fine.

I was looking over the features list here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about

and noticed "Kernel 2.6.34 with Pershoot’s tweaks". I checked out the link to see what pershoots tweaks were. Looking at the first post there I see some things I know.. "OC-UV-BTN-AUD-RAM-NEON_FP"

OC = Overclock

UV = Undervolt

But that's it. I don't know what the others are. But mainly, I want to know which of those tweaks are in CM6-RC3? Is my phone OC'd right now? Is it UV'd? How can I tell?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
In "OC-UV-BTN-AUD-RAM-NEON_FP," the letters mean the following:

-OC = 1.113 GHz Overclock (Use SetCPU to enable this)

-UV = Undervolt on all but the 1.113 GHz speed. If you stay at 1.075 GHz, you will actually be at a lower voltage, increasing your battery life.

-BTN = Capacitive Button Fix

-AUD = Audio Boost (for calls, I think)

-RAM = Some RAM Freed

-NEON_FP = ARM Neon extensions

Pershoot (the maker of the kernel), also has an XTRA version. His newest XTRA version also contains:

*userspace governor default; only interactive,ondemand and userspace governors

*BFQ I/O Scheduler

*some more cgroup options

*namespaces support (excluding network)

*v4 block device and data integrity support

*3d register driver

*erratas 430973, 458693 and 460075 applied

Go HERE to download his latest kernels.

wow nice. So all those are already included when I install CM6-RC3? Nice work.

It only has viruses for the people that don't know what their doing. But such is true with any aspect of the internet. This is why I have a job in tech support because people will always be dumb enough to click on just about anything and open the floodgates to infect their computers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrprelude:
if anyone wants the apk just msg me. io have it on my evo 2.2 and my moment 2.1 and runs great really.. just not many people on there yet. also yea if you are dumb you can get viruses from going to google. people that know how to use computes really shouldnt worry about too many problems. also its should stay in the development cause its trying to develop the features and this shows that we can totally open these things up for some wicked stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
It has viruses for everyone however if you know what you are doing you can weed out about 95% of them this is true (i mean come on i thought all mp3s were 5kbs and made you go to a web page to "acquire a license" first.). this doesn't mean you aren't at risk of getting particularly clever virus or spyware no matter how much you know.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, anytime I set a ringtone for anyone they never (or VERY rarely) work...it still just plays the default ringtone all the time. This has been going on since I got my slide, even before I rooted...anybody else? Anyone know of a fix?

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
I've noticed that almost every time I plug the slide in as a disk drive, it resets to default ringtones (if I had it set to custom ringtones from the SD card). I think all Android phones do this, since the phone cannot access the SD card when it's mounted by a computer. The Slide doesn't seem to revert itself gracefully to the custom ringtones when it's unplugged.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
I know that, that's just a side effect of the way android mounts as mass storage...

Its more than that...I have a ringtone set for my g/f who calls me like 20 times a day, and it always rings the default ringtone instead of her ringtone...its not just while its plugged in, default is the only ringtone I ever hear anymore...

I'm just trying to see if anyone else has this problem or if its just me...

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
Does your caller ID still work properly? Also, I'd try saving the phone number EXACTLY as it shows up in caller ID. IE: If the caller ID displays 252-555-1234 and you have the number saved as 555-1234, I've seen some phones not recognize it as a saved contact.

Fake Edit: You are referring to ringtones save to a specific contact, right? Or does this happen when setting the default ringtone to the phone as well?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
as far as i know caller ID is fine...my g/f's name and picture show up, it just rings with my default tone. so you know my ringtone is one i made with ringdroid and its on my sdcard and if i plug in usb and mount as disk drive, then it will play whatever it is set to be in the ROM when someone calls, but any other time itll play the default tone i set, its the only one i set that WILL play. its the ringtones i set for individual contacts, they dont play, it just plays the ringtone that i have set to default. ill take a look at my numbers formatting and see if that'll fix anything...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ITKingdom:
Hi everyone,

I have a question to ask about flashing ROM

I have Motoroi (Korean XT720), this rom sucks, quite slow and unstable.

I wanna flash another X720 ROM to my motoroi, is it impossible or unlock problem?

I have rooted my motoroi, so the next step is how to unlock or how to flash other Rom and replace of the old ROM.

Thank you so much
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] spiderx_mm:
your bootloader is locked. isn't it? how will u flash the rom?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ITKingdom:
How can I know it is locked?

It was rooted.

I can install ROM manager, I can backup my current ROM.

To test the ROM is locked or not? Just flash the backup ROM to the current ROM, right?

I will try it...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] svenhenrik:
I've flashed my Korean XT720 with a Singapore ROM, and it works. Download the ROM from the SBF thread, and RSD Lite 4.6, make sure you install the Motorola USB drivers if you haven't done it already. If RSD finds your phone, you just have to select the .sbf and press "start". Be patient and let it finish.

However, I don't think the Singapore ROM is any better, and I've re-flashed the Korean .41R release again. After booting with the Singapore ROM I could connect fine with SKT, but after I while I lost connection. Don't know what caused it, but everything worked again after flashing back the Korean ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] svenhenrik:
Also, from what I've read flashing another ROM with RSD Lite will not overwrite the country lock. Still haven't tried it myself though.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bilguunbayr:
Hi spiderx_mm

How can i unlock bootloader and how can i flash it? please help! saygilar:)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] svenhenrik:
I don't think anyone has figured out how to unlock the bootloader yet. This only means you can't flash custom ROM:s since they aren't signed. Official ROM:s are signed, so there's no problem flashing them.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bilguunbayr:
Thanx man. I'll be waiting then.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ITKingdom:
Hi svenhenrik , how about flashing cooked rom to Motoroi, i dont have it here so cant test.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] svenhenrik:
Hi, I'm not sure what cooked ROM you are referring to. I'm not aware of any cooked ROM:s for the XT720, only the official ROM:s for other markets.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Hahutzy:
So has there been more development in unlocking the bootloader, or trying to sign 3rd party ROMs? (If any)
