I rooted my X10a to R2BA026 a while back using the main rooting method.

It looks like there's a possibility I may have to get my phone serviced or replaced by Rogers, as my screen has started to display yellow tint along the edges when viewing light/white backgrounds.

If I do end up needing to get it serviced/replaced, I figure it'll likely be best if I return the phone to a Rogers ROM in order to avoid any issues with it being rooted.

How would I go about doing so?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tri3Dent:
1. Download the flash/unbrick tool:

http://hotfile.com/dl/44983907/9d54b5e/XIOFUB.rar.html

2. Download the decrypted Rogers Rom (R1FA014)

http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598add6/a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip.html

Follow the instructions in the Flash/unbrick HowTo file.

About the yellow tint, where exactly are you noticing it? Is it the top where the ear piece is? or the bottom where the keys are? Or the left side or right side?

If you are going to service it with Rogers, can you update the status for us? I'm on Rogers and i THINK i see some yellow tint issues as well.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
I resurrected an old thread on the yellow tint on the X10 General forum here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=718196.

As I stated there, the yellowing is most noticeable on the bottom of the screen, though I can also see it on the right side of the screen.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tri3Dent:
Alright.. when you take it in, please update the status for us!

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
I might hold off a bit, as the tint is less prominent now than it was a few hours ago. May become more visible as the phone warms up, as I was tethering with Barnacle when I noticed it, and then disabled Barnacle for a while before checking it just now.

If it's anything like my old iPAQ with Rogers last year, once you get an RMA number from Rogers, they send you a new unit, and give you a few weeks to ship the defective unit back. A good process, as you're not without phone for any period of time.

I'll keep you updated either way.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tri3Dent:
Thanks..

But don't they just ship your phone to repair rather than giving you a new unit?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] urs74:
When I dealt with Rogers Tech on my defective HTC Dream they sent out a refurb of the Dream with a UPS call tag to either take the defective phone (boxed and placed in the shipping bag) to a UPS store or have the UPS come pick it up.

Pretty simple really and you're not without a phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
Yeah, that's what they did with my iPAQ when I reported to them that the USB connector had become so loose I could no longer charge the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fredderson:
I have the same issue with my X10. Rogers sent me two replacements but they both had the yellow/white blotches along the bottom of the screen. Looks similar to when you apply pressure to an LCD screen. It's only visible on white backgrounds for the most part. I've just decided to live with it, although it certainly annoys me at times. Not to much else they were willing to do for me at that point.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
Sucks, but good to know.

In which case, I'll probably hold out for a bit.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Zer0_:
I sent my rooted phone back to rogers and they didn't give me any problems. I asked one of the customer service guys and he said android phones are meant to be open source, so it it's fine if it is rooted. lol.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
Good to know.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tri3Dent:
Just to let you guys know, my friend got a new white X10 from Rogers store a couple days ago. Her X10 already has the new R2BA020 firmware on it so it should be the new batches. The new X10 that she got also have the weird wavy pattern on the bottom or 'tint' issue.

So I am convinced that pretty much all X10 are like that..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vrs2610:
or try this method its easier and it works. The flash tool bricked my phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I just saw a video review of US Cellular's new CDMA version of the HTC Desire. No doubt the people who buy this phone will discover all sorts of information on this forum... info that could (I'd imagine) seriously harm their phone if they try to flash their CDMA Desire with a GSM Desire ROM!

Might it be appropriate to give this variant its own subforum? Or failing that, post some prominent warnings that the US Cellular HTC Desire is a significantly different piece of hardware?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I guess nobody with one of these has discovered the forum here yet?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couto607:
(noob here). Can it really cause that much problems? I'm going to be picking up the Desire from Telus soon. Are you saying that I won't be able to use the current custom ROMS?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
The Telus Desire is not CDMA - it's GSM/HSPA like all the others. Custom ROMs will work as long as they support the SLCD screen (some are written only for AMOLED screens).

I'm specifically talking about the US Cellular HTC Desire, which is the first CDMA version to be released.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
agree with the OP.

just like the sprint hero and the GSM hero.

need to be a subsection. like you said it could seriously damage the phones if they flash the wrong things. hope a mod creates a different section soon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosesdoyle:
+1 on that. There's a lot of people out there who don't even know the different between GSM & CDMA.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
Also, it would help for development in general (root and roms.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
I really think the mods should open seperate forums for Desire GSM and Desire CDMA, because as both phones use completely different radios, chances are it will wreck the phone if you put a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
Anyone know who any of the mods for the Desire forum are? I would just PM them but I'm not sure who they are.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjin:
Evening folks,

I flashed the awesome MoDaCo's 2.1 r5 Hero Rom onto my device a few months back however at the time I was warned that Orange users had been experiencing problems with the updated radio version and so didn't touch it.

Ever since flashing I've been convinced mobile net has been acting a bit oddly so simple question then: is anyone using a more updated radio with this Rom (more up to date that the baseband in my signature)? Or at the very least, can a Orange user vouch for the latest radio (and point me in the direction of it please?).

Many thanks,

Pete

UPDATE: I've found out, thanks to this forum, that the Orange mobile network has been on the blink since Wednesday (http://tiny.cc/30yqx). This convinces me somewhat that the problems are more likely the network but still, I wouldn't mind knowing which radio version is recommended to be used. Ta.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Yes there is a more up to date radio. No issues to report. Works perfectly.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sumasage:
I have a few personal tasks that i need to do at a specific time of the day and at time i am too busy and forget about it :(

I am looking for an app that will pop up reminder (and play sound) at a set time. Also need to be able to do repeat event so i dont have to program it everyday. So it sort of like the calender that come with android but since the calender on the galaxy does not allow me to customize the reminder ring tone. I cant hear a "beep" when i am in a busy environment.

Thanks for any suggestions.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] adm1jtg:
I just use the alarm on the clock app
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] danceponyboy:
you can use the alarm clock on the phone

you can set the exact time.the ringtone it plays.

and you can set the days you want it to ring
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sumasage:
Oh DUH!!! i'm thinking too hard. Thanks for your helps. It did exactly what i wanted.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
This project started as just a modified version of Defrost rom and has now shifted to a flashable theme where YOU choose the base rom. Currently it supports Open Desire, Defrost and CyanogenMod. I have also just added an Alpha Deodexed Sense rom version although it lacks some features of the other three. It is made this way with the aim of you having the most choice. It gives me opportunity to work more on updates to actual theme files. The themes should remain compatible with updates to the roms other than big updates.

I will work my hardest to keep the theme updated when necessary.

BluFrost Theme

​

INCLUDES:

You now choose the base rom. DF/CM/OD!

Galaxy S style icons ported by myself. (Needs name of source)

Blue Dialer/Contacts (From mythamps)

Black SMS app (From Cyanogenmod rom)

Launcher2 themed subtle blue bits. (Although i use ADW)

Music widget mod (Needs source here)

Some other elements themed blue by myself.

NOTES:

For colours to be set for date and time etc. During flashing a file called cmparts_ui.xml is written to sdcard. All you need to do is go to settings, CyanogenMod Settings (Or OD Settings), User Interface, Tweaks Extras and select import from xml. Then reboot. :)

This theme is not signed so please disable verification if you are using Amon Ra recovery. Clockworkmod has it disabled by default.

DOWNLOADS:

Disable verification or it will fail to flash. Links may not download files correctly in Chrome.

OpenDesire Theme (Tested on 4.0.4 working.)

CyanogenMod Theme (For 6.0.1 onwards.)

Defrost Theme (Tested on 3.5b working.)

Battery Percentage Deodexed Sense Rom Theme

INSTRUCTIONS:

Download your rom of choice first. (DF, OD, CM or now Deodexed Sense roms.)

Make first boot with rom.

Reboot to recovery and flash theme zip.

Import colour settings from SD.

Done!

END:

Any credits or anything i have missed are not intentional and may just need to be pointed out to me. Thanks.

As long as richard updates defrost then blufrost and gefrost will at minimum be updated to a newer base.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Pyr03k:
That's great mate thanks

Running it now. Do you have some battery tips defrost 2.9a seems to cane my battery (i know your nothing to do with defrost but saw somewhere you get pretty good bat even on overclocked rom )
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
All I can say is I use manual brightness at around 40% most the time. I use juice defender with stock settings. Set cpu I use profiles. I have it set to go to the lowest speed when the screen its off, when battery is below 40% its set to cut speed to half. The rest of the time set to full.

I have weather and face book and twitter sync every two hours. That's about everything. The biggest battery killer its when the optical joypad dies. Requiring a reboot. Which is a problem on defrost, open desire and cyanogen mod.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Is this the same as Gefrost but w/out touchwiz?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:

Its just defrost with blue theme style and a few extras included in gefrost. Music mod and dark sms app.

Oh and it includes that customisable nexus live wallpaper ;-)

I never claim to do any thing exciting. Anything I have done is what I have done for myself to use and if only 1or 2 people use it I don't mind. It is something that anyone can do themselves but not everyone is comfortable taking apart apk's and editing xml.

I'm just having fun learning.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Maybe not, but this is the perfect vanilla rom. Love the look and feel of the Gala S themes, and DeFrost has always been a great base for roms. I might start learning about deving soon.

[Desire Themes and Apps] buchman:
I might have a go at this.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ksside:
what is the difference between gefrost and blufrost??

it seems identical...
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
You are right they are almost identical. They both use Defrost 2.9a as a base.

Gefrost BluFrost

Touchwiz Launcher Standard Launcher2 (Slight blue theming)
Galaxy S Live Wallpapers Standard Nexus Live Wallpapers (With Cyanogen Nexus)
Galaxy S UI Sounds Standard UI Sounds
Some extra blue bits (Volume slider, browser loading)

BluFrost is basically Defrost 2.9a themed dark/blue and Gefrost is an attempt at having a Galaxy S experience. All the time using the same awesome base rom. I never claimed it was anything more.

EDIT:

Just to repeat myself. All this is something you could do yourself if you wanted to download all the files and put it together yourself. The image editing and xml work i have done is very basic however i just share it in case there may be one or two users who would like to use it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] win_1be:
Hiiii!

Looks really nice to me! but when i try to flash it i get :

" E:Missing file: data/app/com.koushikdutta.rommanager.apk

E: Verification failed

Installation aborted. "

Sorry if it's a supid question, but, what can i do? :p

[EDIT]

Sorry, I forgot to disable verification... was stupid indeed ;)

I used to use GDE, but the app drawer kept refreshing every time I opened it. And it was quite laggy. Imo, ADW is top right now.

Unfortunately, a few things were set up for hdpi and many things in his theme didn't work for non-CM roms, so I used what I could and added to the status bar and status icons. I also resized all of the GenieWidget pngs and a few others.

Yea, that happened to me too. Sometimes MM themes need two or three passes to get everything to take.

Nood question alert...can you use this theme on Stock 2.1? Really love this theme and If I can use it without switching ROM's I'll be a happy camper. Thanks

Just remember, sometimes you have to apply the mm theme a couple of times before it takes, and always make a NAND backup so you can restore it if somethings not right.

[Desire General] italianstallion:
Ive had my desire rooted with a stable version of froyo with sense, which has recently officially been released by htc. Question is, is it worth me going through the effort of unrooting and staying safe or sticking with a rooted version?

Ive tried unrooting it, but the furthest it gets with the ruu's is error 140, which is probably down to having to use a different goldcard.
[Desire General] alex_hk90:
I don't see what you'd gain by unrooting? :confused:
[Desire General] RobDNiir:
using a custom ROM has improved my battery life massivly!

i would never unroot ever.
[Desire General] sabwafare2001:
I would try to unroot it, however does having an official froyo update change the HBoot version. I would get bored with phones if there wasn't anything new I could do to them.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It does but if you're on an AMOLED screen you can roll it back easily enough should you want to root again...battery life with the official ROM was no better than custom for me (compared to MCR r8 RC1)
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
If your on a rom that allows underclocking (for screen off/sleep) then you will see a massive difference in battery life, I get about 26 hours from mine with a good amount of usage.

Modaco does not allow this, but roms like LeeDroid (same base) do.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I get 36hrs as it is so underclocking doesn't appeal to me...ultimately I've got my laptop for hardcore work, the Desire is just a phone...
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
36 hours what do you do? extended battery?

Thats insane, either that or your phone sleeps all day.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Stock battery, daily usage is about:

- 30 mins calls

- 20/30 SMS

- 5/10 emails

- FB/Twitter/weather updating each hour

- 30/40 mins WiFi

As I said, it's only a phone and my laptop bares the brunt of my time. I still charge each night, though
[Desire General] streetdaddy:
Unrooting and updating with official OTA Froyo didn't upgrade my HBOOT, it stayed as 0.83 ... I've had to do this twice for warranty repair.

The first repair they changed the mainboard, and it came back with HBOOT 0.92. I was actually able to downgrade the HBOOT back to 0.83 simply by using an RUU - can't remember which one... But if anyone wants to know I can find out.
[Desire General] italianstallion:
id only unroot to save hassle having to unroot should the phone die on me. im happy with the rooted 2.2 with sense, but i doubt the custom version is much different from the official. i know theres loads of other things to do once rooted, but most of it puts the phone at risk i guess. i only rooted to get 2.2 before vodafone released it anyway.

i may decide to not bother with unrooting and try out a few custom roms.

as a sidenote, anyone know where to get the custom kernels so i can overclock/underclock it?
