Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
So I have the latest rom.. Cm6 rc3.. I got this by using the one click Root method.. the app that you had to have, i don't have anymore due to wiping my phone..

I reinstalled the app and pressed unroot to see if I still could... I couldn't..

I then pressed root and it said that im already rooted..

By wiping my phone and losing that app, am i now stuck on root?..

I read somewhere around these forums that once gingerbread comes out for the nexus one, the people that have rooted their phone with the one click method will lose root once they update to 3.0.. Like everything will be back to normal, stock everything.. it'll be like you have never rooted in the first place..

Is that true?

P. S. I do love being rooted tho lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apratomo:
most update will make you stock again, just like when update to froyo

but then some genius here will figure it out and BAM we're rooted again, so no worries man
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
ANY OTA update loses root. Just wait til gingerbread comes out and let Cyanogen or Paul gets root working on it before you flash it. Most likely it will erase all data and you gotta redownload and resync everything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
Really? Wow ok.. Thanks fellas
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Creating the rooted rom is pretty easy. The problem is usually for devices that have updated to some manufacturer update that locked the device down more.

Stock updates reverts back to stock as many have already said.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Hi guys,

I'm in trouble, I'm a little confused, I cannot use my desire anymore.

I just would like to know how to recognize if my desire is SLCD or AMOLED before to do anything else.

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.83.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-4.08.00.09

Original Image: 1.24.161.3 with 32.41.00.32U radio

How can I know that??

Secondly I would like someone can confirm me the meaning of branded or unbranded: am I right if I say that my mobile is unbranded if I can use it with different operator SIM?

I'm I right if I say that I don't need any gold card if my mobile is unbranded?

thanks a lot for confirming me this steps, after that I can take the right way to recovery it!

Regards

Miniera77
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Hboot 0.82 indicates that it is a SCLD

As for question 2 here goes (no offence meant to anyone but I will be a bit blunt)

The terms branded and debranded are not often used on android forums, at least by people with knowledge. it is usually used on mainly non-smartphones to denote removing of carrier specific firmware and changing it to default or stock firmware.

Now on here I have seen it used in many different ways

- to root

- to root and flash a stock rom

- to just remove carrier crap, but not root

Its best to just avoid that terminology altogether. It has nothing to do with being able to use another sim card, that is "sim lock" and you will need to get your phone "sim unlocked" in order to use it on a different network.

Edit: as far as I can remember you should just be able to use the one click root method without any need for a goldcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Hi Lenny,

thanks for your answer.

The point now is that I cannot use one click root method because I cannot switch on my mobile system. I can only switch it on in fastboot way.

Can you please suggest me a way to flash my rom in that mode?

Thanks

regards

Miniera77

edit:

if I try unrevoked 3.1 with a custom recovery image (recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd) I get this error:

Device "/sbin/sh: getprop: not found

"is not supported at this time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
ok, what happened to cause your phone to stop booting then?

Does the screen work for the HBOOT menu (volume down and power on)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
yes I can boot my phone only by pressing volume down and power button I cannot enter to recovery menu the screen became black, I tried to follow the procedure http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748498 method 2 without success and method 1 many times but nothing happen, always black screen.

thanks for help me and sorry for my english.

edit:

what I did:

I rooted my phone with unrevoked but with the default recovery image so I coudn't see Recovery menu anymore, than I've download Rom Manager and I said reboot in recovery mode after I put update.zip file in my SD. Thats'all! Tried to change update.zip but always black screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
try this guide

http://rootmydroid.co.uk/category/guides/desire/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Sorry lenny,

I cannot switch on my phone and set parameters:

2.With your Desire go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Disk drive then Untick ‘Ask Me’

3.Then go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is ticked.

4.Then go back to Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is ticked.

so the unrevoked tool doesn't work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
ah yeah forgot about that, ok thinking hat time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
thx! Hope to recovery my phone soon!

edit:

I've tried to use adb tools from windows, I can see the phone and use commands by command line. Tried with AM Recovery Application but it doesn't go on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Ok

1) where did you get the phone from, was it brand new?

2) has it ever worked?

3) have you flashed or changed anything since getting it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
You may have to get a rom.zip from a SLCD comaptible ruu (might be in top thread of dev section)

rename it to pb99.img

put it on your sd card

boot into hboot

it should ask you to flash

that should fix it.

BUT ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE NEVER FLASHED A NEW HBOOT AND REALLY DO HAVE AN SCLD SCREEN

(thanks 42Turkeys)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
well:

1) just bought 2 days ago I'm in switzerland,

2-3) sure it was working before I've tried to flash it with Rom Manager. I've rooted it succesfully because I could use applications like titanium backup and Rom Manager... but with the wrong recovery image (you said my phone should be SLCD, I used the default recovery image in unrevoked)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
There is a chance you used an old unrevoked that flashed a non-SLCD version of clockwork.

You need to do what I posted above to fix.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Lenny on my SD card I have a folder \clockworkmod\backup and there is my original backup I've done before to do any operation.

there are 3 files:

- boot.img

- recovery.img

- system.img

should I be able to use that? In witch way?

thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
no, they are part of a nandroid

You want the rom.zip file from an RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
can you please suggest me the right one?? I wouldn't get my situation worse.

You will just need to try to find the one that came with your phone originally.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Sorry lenny,

should I choose one of this:

OTA_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2-1.15.405.4_release_P4ohim1mtp6zggcyon.zip

OTA_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_1.15.161.4_releas e_P2q1fwy34gicxsiqaq.zip

even if my original one is 1.24.161.3 and is not there.

than you said to rename the zip files with pb99.img (is that the right file name?)

put it into the SD root and switch on the phone in hboot

that's right?

thx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
yes you need to open the ruu up, find the folder rom.zip and rename it to what you just said.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:

rename it in PB99.img or PB99IMG.img??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
pb99.img

Exactly like what I just typed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
ok in both case nothing happen! I'm going to be crazy!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
sorry I was asking that because the phone when do the SD checking is searching a PB99IMG.img file... only for that..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
what the phone tells you and what it looks for are different things.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
I switch it on in hboot, the phone do the SD checking as I told you and than stay there... it doesn't do anything!

Should I choose recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
what options does it give again?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Lenny when I boot the phone in HBOOT mode I have only the possibility to choose:

-fastboot

-recovery

-clear storage

-simlock

it should be a way to flash it or restore nandroid backup by adb commands... cannot you help me in this way?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Lenny are you still there? Nobody else can help me??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
ok try to select recovery and see what happens.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
ok nothing... black screen than I have to remove the battery...

now I'm connected on my desire with adb and I can type commands, when I type adb devices it show me:

List of devices attached

SH07ZPL03032 recovery

that's meaning that my phone start directly on recovery mode witch I cannot see, is there a way to change the boot and tell to it to start normal?

Do you know someone good in adb commands??

thanks Lenny!

Hope to fix it very soon, I'm very stressed because this phone!

grrrrr!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The problem here is you have flashed a bad scld, or you have flashed a new hboot that cannot be used on your device (i.e. you have flashed 0.83 when you can't use it).

Nothing you do in adb will fix it permanently, the only known method is the one just outlined above, if that does not work then I have no idea.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
I don't think is already flashed completly (because if I boot it into hboot I can see all my original information, those witch I wrote you at the beginning of this topic) My friend have got the same phone we bought it together, looking at his phone we are exactly the same information.

how can I do if the method you said me doesn't work??

should I find around my original RUU ROM??

1.24.161.3 (radio 32.41.00.32U 4.08.00.09) with HBOOT 0.83.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetdaddy:
im curious why you've suggested the file be called pb99.img, when other similar threads I've been reading (about downgrading HBOOT 0.92 for Desire SLCD) are using PB99IMG.zip as the file name to be recognised by the bootloader?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paprkut:
ive got hboot 083 but i cannot tell if i have a SLCD screen since my phone was a replacement without a box, is there any other way to tell?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Number22:
Check out this video on Youtube.

Basically, AMOLED doesn't have backlight, so when viewing a black image, there should be no light coming from the screen (but there usually is a very little amount viewable only in pitch black conditions). The SLCD on the other hand...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetdaddy:
I am waiting on a replacement myself, so will be interested to hear if yours is...

On another thread a guy mentioned a way to check is by the pixel configuration.

SLCD is like:

0000

0000

0000

0000

0000

Whereas AMOLED is like:

0000

-000

0000

-000

0000

So if you look closely at an AMOLED, the edges of text or a white square will have a slightly jagged appearance. Apparently this is not true of SLCD...

I have a question with regard to the above issue,

I have replaced an lcd on a customers HTC Desire (cracked LCD)

The original LCD was SLCD and the replacement that i was sent

was a Samsung AMOLED version.

Ive assembled phone, but display not working, the phone is working but nothing on lcd.

Is this going to be possible, or should i just order in the SLCD instead

On my HD2 when i go to hear music or youtube... The audio seems high pitched and accelerated.... Ex

I go to hear music but all my songs Tempo and Pitch seem increased.... The speed seems to be about 2-3 seconds faster then what they should be and if changed a little bit more it would be like having a massive collection of Chimp muck remixes to all the songs... I do have the Robot thing on calls but since i text ALOT i don't use the phone... But it seems like these two issues seem related to one another... I know there are fixes for the Robot noise in a call... But would it apply to this other issue as well or is there something different

I bought a Seidio 1750mAh off Amazon. I notice that my seidio is lighter than the 1300mAh stock that came with the droid. I haven't conducted any battery life test to see if the seidio one offers more juice, but I am wondering if I got a fake one.

If you happen to own a 1750mAh Seidio for HTC droid, please comment if it is heavier or lighter than the stock 1300mAh.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] obededom:
I can tell you today when I pick mine up from the post office
[Droid Incredible Accessories] letum00:
My 1750 IS heavier and I have gotten far better results from it than I did from stock. Juiceplotter estimates I have around 10 hours remaining at midnight when I plug it in, whereas the 1300mAh battery ended up needing to be plugged in around 7 or 8pm because it was about shot.

I have changed roms so many times, though, as well as kernels, that I can't make a reasonable comparison.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hkii:
Is it noticeably heavier?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] letum00:
I stand corrected... my seidio is 29 grams, while the stock battery is 31...

Normally I would scoff at the idea of a lighter battery having more capacity, but it feels more flexible so perhaps they sacrificed the solid housing in exchange for physical capacity.

Anyway, whatever they did, I found the performance to be far better. We'll see after another month or two if it stays decent.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mb02:
just about every aftermarket battery manufacturer has been put to the test. absolutely none of these companies batteries are the rating they are advertised. the seidio 1750 for the TP2 was really only 1380 mAh. the N1 1600 was only 1305. you'd be better off with the TP2 oem 1500 that you can get for 15 bucks on ebay.

just google batteryboss, the first site is the one you wanna see.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] letum00:
Sure, I read it. I have had it bookmarked for several months so I can check it occasionally. As you can see by his "benchmarks" he has tested exactly one seidio 1750 mAh battery which has been under "light use" for two months.

I have had this battery now for over two months, and it has consistently outperformed the stock battery far more than an extra 80mAh would. I am pleased with this battery and I stand by my own personal experience. The long run is what will determine if I buy from them again.

So far I would say this battery has paid for itself.

what s the difference between multitasking on ios 4 and android, read that it is not true multitasking on ios4, but has task completion on background,so what is different?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If searching the forum is difficult, how about opening www.google.com, writing "multitasking android ios" and reading the results?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejajuloori:
From what I ve read, both have pretty good multitasking for an end user..so asking a user who has used bth devices to reply...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
And how exactly will an average user help you? Does average user even know, how multitasking is performed? What kind of comparison will you get?

iOS4 allows execution of predefined (in the OS) background processes while the rest of the application that called the process is suspended just as in iOS3, Android allows the program to go to the background completely. iOS4 leaves it up to the application to call the background process, meaning that application has to be rewritten to support the new option. Android controls the applications backgrounding on a system level, all the apps benefit automatically. iOS4 has a nice way to access all running processes. Android requires to dig into Settings/Apps/Running processes, or installing task manager.

You could read all that in the first several Google search results.

What interests me is - now, when you have your answer, how much of it did you actually understand?

I repacked recovery.img earlier before:

http://www.multiupload.com/3N9VPWXS53

I unpacked Asure's boot.img using instructions from here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

Then took the Augen Gentouch recovery, unpacked that as well to replace the ramdisk

The stock 297 recovery image is really large (10mb? Augen is 3mb with clockwork) and has a bunch of useless stuff in it.

So Asure, your recovery image didn't boot? I got all excited...

Edit: repacking doesn't work apparently.

I need to get myself one :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Asure:
I tried to repack the recovery.img using all the methods outlined here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

They all produce an image that looks fine in a hex editor at first glance, but fails to boot on a real device (After flashing it with flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img for example)

I'm pretty sure there's a TTL serial port in the device, but i'll need some time to sort that out. I asked Koush for help, perhaps he can see what is wrong with the image.

First, credits to Koush for his amazing recovery, the Android scene would be completely different if it wasn't for you!

Second, i wonder who @google thought it would be a great idea to force a huge download of 4.5GB + apps needed to compile a 13kb mkbootimg.

Anyway, with some files from someone else's kitchen (only 15mb download) i managed to compile mkbootimg with the new --pagesize parameter from Koush.

(This recovery's kernel --base 40000000 and requires --pagesize 1000 to work properly.)

Accessing Flash Mode MID701

I am not sure if you want to track here or in another thread, but I was able to find the right combo to access safe-mode/flashing mode on the 3rd device, MID701 with the #320 firmware.

To access the flashing mode for a MID701 device. After you have prepped your Telechips VTC driver and have FWDN running, do the following in order:

1) Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF Position

2) Connect the AC Adapter

3) Connect the USB Cable

4) Press and Hold the Home+Back buttons on the top of the device (both sides of the "rocker" must be depressed)

5) Flip the ON/OFF switch to the ON Position

In a matter of seconds you should get driver/telechips prompts and FWDN will light up. The screen WILL NOT come on in this mode.

After making a few backups and records, I may attempt to install the #348 firmware tomorrow.
