Guys, having issues with clockwork recovery images as well

Heres exactly what i'm doing and please tell me where i'm going wrong.

-Power on device while holding camera button

-Says "waiting for SD detect..."

-wait

-Tap fastboot in top right corner

-"waiting for USB FastBoot detect..."

-Plug usb in and now it says "FASTBOOT_MODE" in bottom left

-then in terminal (on a mac)

$ fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-clockwork-streak-2501.img
sending 'recovery' (3280 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
$ fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
rebooting...
$

Before rebooting it says "starting RECOVERY writing" then "Download RECOVERY Done!"

(also done it without fastboot -i 0x413c rebbot, but by pulling the battery and powering up into recovery and still same thing)

Device restarts and i hold both volume keys and it comes in the stock recovery..

i select option 2 (update.pkg from storage card) and now screen is just black

adb won't connect in terminal.

I've tried about 4 different clockwork recovery images and all the same thing.

Just to test i flashed the stock 02 recovery image from the modaco thread and the home and menu button's lights were flashing so its flashing them right?

Any help? my brain is melted.. i stayed up all night learning terminal, adb and fastboot.

----update---

Ok i got it.. for some reason this did it

Why does that work over me typing it out? if i open up install-recovery-mac.sh it contains the following "./fastboot-mac -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery-clockwork-streak.img"

is the "./" before fastboot whats making it work?

Here's how I got T-mobile to unlock my HD2 with the help of a friend for Free. Without the friend being there.

I went to tmobile.com, clicked

contact us

at the bottom.

Then click on Chat. All I needed was my friends name, number, and last four digits of SSN.

The chat went as such:

You have been connected to ~Dana P.

~Dana P: Welcome to T-Mobile Chat service Trina. My name is Dana and for your reference my rep ID is 13-2**40. First, please allow me one moment to review your question.

~Dana P: Thank you for your patience. I certainly can help you with unlocking a phone.

Trina: great

~Dana P: Can I please have your email address.

Trina : tjc***re@gmail.com (MY EMAIL)

~Dana P: Thank you.

~Dana P: I will also need the IMEI of the phone. Can you please type *#06# into the phone.

~Dana P: I will need the number that displays on the screen.

Trina : 35**************

~Dana P: Thank you. Can I also have the make and model of the phone please

.

Trina: HTC HD2

~Dana P: Thank you.

~Dana P: Thank you for your patience, the SIM subsidy unlock request has

been filed. Please note that it takes up to 24 hours to be completed.

~Dana P: If we do not have the unlocking code, and we need to contact the manufacturer, this may take up to 14 days to get a response.

~Dana P: Once approved, we will provide you with the unlock code and instructions on how to enter it by e-mail.

Trina : ok

~Dana P: Your unlock request confirmation number is 4******.

~Dana P: Is there anything else we can assist you with today?

Trina: no that is all, thank you

I just hope this helps someone
[HD2 General] Viciouse0216:
damn....that simple? i paid 20 or so dollars, wish i would of thought of this lol

good job though :D
[HD2 General] DJTJ:
:D Yea, this cool dude from HTC told me that they would have to unlock it by law.

not sure why, but it works for me.
[HD2 General] drohnononono:
so why did you have to have youre friends info?
[HD2 General] DJTJ:
yea, you can use their last four digits of SSN, or a password, and their phone number.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Because they were an account holder with T-Mobile
[HD2 General] DJTJ:
Yes, This will only unlock for T-mobile customers. They legally have too.
[HD2 General] alisonwonderland:
But it looks like you're missing what you asked them to do, specifically. For instance, did you say "I was given/bought a phone from my friend, who had tmobile, and I have [insert carrier] and I need to unlock this device" ?

or something else?

edit: T-mobile is not legally bound to do this. And they might require an active account in GOOD standing for at least the past 40 days AND no unlock request within prior 90 days (per Wikipedia)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
All US carriers are now required to provide unlock codes, per a law recently put into effect. I don't know if they're still allowed to have their traditional conditions of having an account in good standing, etc, but the law makes it pretty clear that they can't make the customer jump through too many hoops and have to provide the codes on request. There will obviously be a period of time that the carriers have to implement the new policy before they're held to it.

Yea, I wish it work when pattern is on too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricko2169:
As the title says, if you are using SPB shell on your HD2 what ROM are you using?

Please list any themes you are using too! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asctony:
Running SPB Mobile Shell V3.5 and have been for months. Running ROM:

R 2.08.50.08.2

G 15.34.50.070

D 2.10.82076.8G

I switch back and forth to SPB Mobile Shell and Sense as I want to. However, SPB MS is my favorite 95% of the time.

I used to update/flash roms on my MDA, Wing and Omnia I900, but decided to leave my HTC HD2 as I got it. To many problems, possible problems, etc., to flash a new ROM.

There are too many postings that you have to read, step to take, etc., to flash.

If there was 1 easy way to flash, I would do it.

I know this will generate a lot of feedback.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
Hi guys,

I'm getting ready to root my HTC Magic 32A from Rogers and I was wondering what type of experience people had switching from stock ROM with Android 1.5, rooting and running CM5.0.8.

Is the the phone going to be any slower or faster?

Battery life is going to be affected or not?

The whole phone is stable or will crash from time to time...

Thanks,

Alex
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sevenvt:
Felt slightly faster on my mt3g... Though cyano6 rc2 or 3 will give you 2.2 and jit... Food for thought
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
thanks for your comment, I decided to start conservative and try CM5.0.8 because everybody says it's stable

don't know about CM6 RC3...

but I care about how snappy the phone is, battery life and application support
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freyder:
I found 5.0.8 to be very stable on my Rogers Magic. Never a lock or a crash. Very snappy performance.

After reading about the performance boost with 2.2 and JIT I loaded Froyo Redux 1.7 (CM6RC3).

So far I am very happy with what I've seen. Not enough time on this ROM yet to judge battery performance but so far it appears very good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
I like to hear that because the stock ROM is ancient :(

Just wanted to make sure battery life is at least on par and menu & apps are reasonable performance :)

Where can I get Froyo Redux 1.7 from officially?

...also I keep having this thought, is is possible to backup my current phone state (with the stock Rogers ROM) before I start rooting and switching to custom ROMs?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freyder:
AMON_RA's recovery ROM has a backup option.

here is the Redux 1.7 thread over in the dev forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723520
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
Thanks for the Redux 1.7 thread link...looks very interesting! :)

I think I understand your comment about AMON_RA's recovery ROM, but I wanted to backup also my stock ROM which at that time will be already overwritten I think... ;)

Is there a way I can root my phone, install a good backup application that can backup the current state of my phone before I start installing AMON_RA and Redux 1.7?

Sorry if my questions don't make sense...beginner with these things.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freyder:
I think the backup has to be done from Recovery. There is a very nice app called Titanium Backup but that doesn't do the "image" backup you're talking about.

The first thing to do is power off your phone (remove battery?) then power it on while holding the VOLUME DOWN button.

The Radio, HBOOT, SPL version numbers that show up in the first 4 lines are important and will dictate what steps you must take to root etc.

post that data here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
This is all the data I get in that screen:

Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.10.18

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WoblyGoblin:
This link heleped me out it is well explained how you should do your rooting.

it is on wiki.cyanogen do the googleing
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alex_canada:
Thanks for the cyanogen wiki...I check it out and they have some good information there.

Well I have the links to a few 1-button scripts that take my phone from the Rogers stock ROM to CM5.0.8 taking care of all the quirks introduced by the nice provider I am with...but I wanted to know if there's a way back if I want to ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WoblyGoblin:
THere is always way back just make nandroid backup with Amon ra recovery because it is like changin OS on you computer and there is also somewhere thread with original roms i saw it just search it enjoy your new CM android
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freyder:
you have what is known as the perfected SPL (HBOOT-1.76.0010) which requires a gold card to replace.

You also have the "newer" radio so you should take note when flashing recoverys.

Until you replace the SPL via a gold card none of that matters as your current version will not allow you to flash anything.

[Droid X General] 99em1:
How do I sync my X to my mac so that I can transfer music, data files to the CD card, and to delete items already on the SD card? I haven't been able to figure it out. Just got the phone today and its sweeeet.
[Droid X General] jussumguy88:
I don't have the answer to your question, but I do wanna know how long ago you ordered the phone. I also would like to know how to sync this phone to the mac because I have a mac & it suck if i had to use a pc everytime.
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
Usb and select mass storage
[Droid X General] 99em1:
Wow really easy to add and delete files just by connecting with the cord and enabling USB storage. I dont know why so many sites involve third party apps and programs.

To the other guy: I ordered it in store on the 9th. Estimated date was the 25th, but got it a bit early like most.

So I know how to add/remove files, how do I add playlists from iTunes? Do I need some app/program to sync to iTunes?

And lastly, my home icons using Launcher Pro are tiny. Do I need to upgrade to increase their size?

For some reason the wallpapers from my comp (good res) look super low res on my phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] guanacux:
Hi,

I just purchased a used HTC Kaiser (AT&T 8929). It came with Josh WM6.5 version for radio 1.70.19.09.

I've received an error (twice now) after a soft reset that says:

"Install \WINDOWS\CRCDU.CAB failed, code=0x80004005"

All I've been wanting to install is fring and tomtom and sometimes in the cab installation it gets frozen and then I've been doing the soft resets.

Also the wifi on option in the wireless manager sometimes it does not turn on, I tap on it and it does nothing.

Any recommendations? you think is ROM related or Hardware related? I can still file a claim with eBay to get some money back since the seller said it works.

I'd appreciate any type of feedback.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved as not ROM Development.

Hard-reset if still happens flash a stock test if fine flash back to custom ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] guanacux:
What is a stock test?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
The stock ROM. "original non custom ROM" you can then find if hardware.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] guanacux:
Does it make a difference is the stock rom I found is does not have the same radio the custom rom had? It is for the same device and is what HTC has listed for that phone (AT&T 8929)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
As long as the ROM is for the Tilt/Kaiser etc.. Then you can flash any stock as you already Hard-SPL'd it will bypass CID check. "CID is a device idenficiation which is why when not Hard-SPL'd you can only flash original stock ROM"

Hope that helps if still stuck PM me as i'm sure i'll have stock in share somewhere ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
Heys guys.

Earlier today orange experinced gprs issues. But before I.knew it was them I had assumed it was somethinf I did.

So I hard reset my phone. And used the stock backup app to recover contacts txt and all the rest

Strange thing is everytime I soft reset phone. or turn it. Off and on again my contacts are gone. All the rest off the data stays like texts nd bookmarks

Any ideas.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Actually, sounds like the backup is working fine, but there's something wrong with your phone's memory... try another hard reset and restore contacts, etc. again.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
Maybe its an issue with auto sync? turn that off, restore n c what happens!!
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
the problmen axctually stems from the fact there wasno data connection available when restoring

this morning i did a restore and everything is working fine
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Strangely tele2 sweden also experienced trouble with data connection this morning. I could make phone calls but there was no data connection at all. Any other networks noticed this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] philverb:
Greetings. I just wiped my phone again and am wondering: just how can I actually avoid typing in my APN information for AT&T?

The file /etc/apns-conf.xml *does* have the correct information, and I *can* scan for and use for "Network Operator" an entity called "AT&T". But for the APNs section, I always come up with no automagically configured entities and have to do it by hand. What have I been missing for these past two years?

I'm wondering just what the functionality of /etc/apns-conf.xml is, if it cannot use the correct information that is there. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong. The information is there -the same information that I would enter by hand, except for the password being perhaps incorrectly all caps:

<apn carrier="ATT" apn="wap.cingular" user="WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM" pass="CINGULAR1" mmsc="http://mmsc.cingular.com" mmsproxy="wireless.cingular.com" mmsport="80" mcc="310" mnc="410"/>.

All that information is identical with what I would have to enter by hand, with the pass perhaps being incorrect. The question is, why doesn't the wireless settings applet at least *try* to create an entry in "Access Point Names", even after it picks up a "Network Operator" called AT&T? Is it because the carrier name is "ATT" in the /etc/apns-conf.xml file, while the OTA identity of the "Network Operator" shows up as "AT&T" (with the ampersand)?

I just remounted and created a new, identical line in /etc/apns-conf.xml where the carrier is called 'AT&T' instead of 'ATT', which is still there in the line above it. Still no automatic love.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sevenvt:
Cyanogen rom will auto populate that for you... But I don't think any stock rom will pick up att without the apn built in between wipes...

I of course have the mt3g and dealt with punching that apn in so much I feel your pain.. Kinda... Since you get 3g access and I dont on that phone there is some jealousy...:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] philverb:
Nah, no auto-population takes place --and it's not a new state of affairs.

I am using FroyoRedux (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723520) with the Old Radio, which is a derivative of Cyanogen's nightlies. At any rate, I get the same phenomenon as described above, when using a proper Cyanogen build --and I have always, always been without any auto-populated "Access Point Names" functionality, no matter what the build.

The "Access Point Names" never, ever get populated even after the "Network Carrier" has been detected as "AT&T". That's a fact with Cyanogen and other builds, for me using AT&T with this Rogers Magic 32a.

*Possibly, this has something to do with the fact that I'm using a TurboSIM card, and my phone has not actually been unlocked --but I doubt it.*

I have observed that the /etc/apns-conf.xml file -the one that actually does have the correct login data- *does* get updated with whatever I input manually in the "Access Point Names" propertysheet/applet, after I input it manually. Obviously, I need to look at the code for whichever modules handle this process, but from the outside, I am just wondering why the functionality is not there when the stored APN profiles are there to facilitate the auto-population/autoApn goodness for which I long so dearly, every time I wipe my phone.

I'd just like to understand this. I asked Brian Crook in the #cyanogenmod IRC channel, and he said he wasn't familiar with the code that handles this stuff. He told me to make a Tweet including @paulweiss, which I did. So, I am waiting for kindness from on-high while I consider perusing the code for this/these relevant modules.

Thanks for replying! Any more ideas about the matter at hand?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] philverb:
Bump for my beggarly quest for more input.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsmith1051:
I have a Sprint Hero and I am trying to figure out if my problems since the official 2.1 upgrade are hw or sw. Sprint tech support has offered to swap my phone (if I do it in the next two months, at least) but I'd be getting a refurb, which worries me.

To troubleshoot, I'm considering rooting my phone (with 'unrevoked') and installing an alternate ROM. The instructions seem straightforward but lengthy. If I do all that -- successful change to another ROM -- and still have problems, then I'll assume I have a bad phone. But in order to get the replacement I have to undo/hide all signs of rooting etc.

Will re-running the Sprint 2.1 RUU completely erase all my hacking, and put the phone into an acceptable state for warranty exchange?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Yes, re-running the official 2.1 RUU returns the phone back to straight factory stock settings, just like if it were fresh out of the box.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Yes, it is the same as a hard reset.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Well technically I believe it returns everything to stock except your recovery image? Am I right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
No, don't think so but I may be wrong. I know for sure that the 1.5 RUU completely removed both root and recovery for me. I've rerun the 1.5 RUU a couple times over the past few months and have had to completely re-root and re-flash a recovery image. I remember trying to reboot into recovery after running the RUU (Home+power) and it just took me to the black screen with the icon that looks like a Hero with a giant exclamation point popping out of it. Had to battery pull as it was stuck there.

Don't know about 2.1, haven't done that one. But it definitely removes root so even if recovery was still there it probably wouldn't be very useful without root privileges anyway.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorbisloth:
The RUU wipes everything including recovery image. It'll return the phone to factory stock settings.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
Yeah, it even resets your radio to the stock radio image
