try adding line 5 in you .bak so you can have read/write permissions

3. cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools (or were ever you SDK files are)

4. adb remount

The filesystem is mounted read only. You need to mount it read/write.

5. adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh4645:
that extra line didnt work either

is there a step before this i might have missed? i did not flash a ROM and didnt think i had to (cause i really dont want to at this time), so i hope thats not it.

here are my steps:

1 - rooted with ubuntu

2 - back in windows ... download sdk and usb drivers (these drivers did not work)

3 - installed/uninstalled htc sync to get the drivers.

4 - plugged in via usb, charge only, usb drivers worked

5 - opened up cmd and used those lines of code to run .bat file

6 - fail!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocswing:
Try booting into Recovery. To do this, turn off the phone, then hold down the Volume Down button and hit Power. After about 30 seconds use the Volume Down button to select Recovery. Once Recovery boots it should say Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.1

Plug your phone into the computer using USB. On the phone use the Volume Down button and navigate to Partitions. Then hit the Power button or Trackpad to hit enter. Then you want the mount /system option using trackpad again.

Then try your .bat and see what happens.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh4645:
thanks for the reply!

ok that seemed to get the remount command to work, but then i get the error after the echo line

next suggestion?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh4645:
figured it out. there is no toggle/checkmark in the apps settings, but i just installed my 1st 3rd party app.

so i ran cmd prompt as administrator (not sure if that helped)

but what really did it was clicking on the mount /data in recovery too. it was unmounted.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocswing:
Ah yeah, duh. Need to mount the actual dir that you're trying to get to. Sorry about that. Congrats on getting it working!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh4645:
yeah, i would guess so. why isnt that in any steps/suggestions that i read??? is it(and some other things) just something people take for granted thinking that everyone would know to do...and how to go about doing it?

anyway thanks for helping me get there...after 3 days of reading and trying things i finally got one of the things i wanted to do.

now onto get rid of at&t bloatware!!

have some 3rd party game app and swype now.

yeah!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_atman:

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh4645:
i've just been putting .apks in my dropbox, downloading them and using astro file manager to find them/install. works like a charm

i just need to find some more awesome 3rd party .apks

any suggestions?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmreed97:
I've been getting the "operation not permitted" error as well. I read somewhere that you need to open CMD in administrator mode if you are running Windows 7 (as I am). Although I haven't figured out how to do that.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocswing:
I'm not quite sure how to open cmd with it running as administrator though there is probably some command to do it. However if you have something set up as a .bat you can right click on it and choose "Run as Administrator".
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh4645:
you can right click on cmd and say run as administrator the same way
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmreed97:
Found it... Didn't know there was a shortcut for the command prompt. Still getting the permission error so who knows.

Doesn't matter, I've found workarounds for everything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Hi guys!

I haven't yet rooted my Desire(I would have but I was fool enough to install the 2.2 OTA).The main reason for me to root would be the ability to overclock my device.All this time that I have been around here on the Desire and Nexus One forums I have been seeing that our devices are overclocked only up to 1113MHz and only in very rare cases 1267MHz.However,to my great surprise,I noticed on OpenDesire ROM's thread that the Desire can be overclocked @1344MHz(which of course made me think a big HELL YEAH!).Is that number ok for all of us or for some select few?I remember from my Hero days that only some few,lucky guys like myself could overclock up to 768MHz,although there were cases of people,rare,yet not unheard of,that could overclock @844MHz.Is this the case here or are things different with the Snapdragon?

Many many thanks guys! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
C'mon guys,no one? :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinma:
I don't think overclocking to 1267MHz happens in rare cases. I had no problems oc-ing to 1267 and it seems that a lot of forum member were able to do this too.

Why don't you downgrade your HBoot to 0.80, root your phone and try it out?

Just make sure your phone does not become too hot if you try 1344MHz.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I have to ask the question, but does it really matter?

IMHO, the Desire is plenty fast enough that overclocking it simply isn't necessary.

I can understand underclocking to eek out more battery life, but other than gaining a few points on some benchmarks, I really don't see the point in overclocking.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob dylan:
so this, its really not needed at all. a decent fast rom and 1ghz is more than enought for things to be super speedy. any decent kernal will provide more than enough speed.

overclocking(and lots of other things these days!) reminds me of that bit in jurassic park where they are all sat around the table and geoff goldblum says:

"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should".

herein lies the lesson, just because you can do it doesnt mean you should do it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,I have my reasons wanting to overclock...First off,I will check if I can see any difference in speed or smoothness.If there isn't,I will just revert the clock back to normal after some benchmarks.

I just am the kind of guy that wants to get the most out of his phone! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
I think ALL Desires can overclock to 1267Mhz. It's not that rare and I've not seen anyone having a problem with it.

It does make things a bit snappier as well. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
That's what I'm talkin' about man! :D

And now that I think of it,it's not that much.I mean,the Hero could overclock @768,which is 45% overclocking.The Desire's 1267 is about 27% and 1344 is about 34,5%.Nothing too much!So why not? ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinma:
Every CPU is different. The Qualcomm Snapdragon is a very different beast compared to the Qualcomm MSM 7200A.

We are just starting to learn what we can do with the Snapdragon without damaging it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well my man,in this case the MSM7200A is no beast but rather a pooch that barks to no avail!Good pet however! :p

Joking aside,the Snapdragon is a beast for a mobile phone,but even beasts get beaten.Now,if I can somehow reach or even get close to the performance of the Galaxy S or the Droid X I'll be happy.Software wise I believe that HTC is far superior ,but it's hardware is a little out of date.Let's see what their new devices will do for us!

Btw,does anyone know if the so anticipated HTC Ace will be anything better than what we already have or if it will be the Evo for GSM users?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutsonfire:
The desire is plenty fast as it is and I don't see the point of overclocking it. I've had it to 1267 in the past and it made no difference at all for usability. I'm also the type that overclocks all his computers...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Personal preferences dude...What everyone does with their phone is their own business.I wish I could resist overclocking too! :p

However,I was watching a thread over at the N1 forums in which a dude named Storm9999(genius dude,not just a random one) stated that an overclock @1,3GHz could fry our phones.Is that so?I mean,I know overclocking reduces the CPU's lifetime,but is it THAT MUCH dangerous?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashUK:
I think overclocking can kill your phone.. I use to overclock my own o2 orbit and it died after a year..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
Friend of mine just burned his old HTC by overclocking it and as a consequence is going to buy a desire.

I had my phone overclocked at 1345Mhz for a moment, just to test it, and it made no real difference to when it was overclocked at around 1.2Ghz, which in turn has very very little difference to stock 1Ghz.

I think the only case where you see some small impact is in games.

I've tested HD recording at 1.345 Ghz and stock speed and there was no difference.

If anything, it's going to kill your battery and shorten its life for sure, going so high. If ever I will OC again I won't go over 1.1 and only if I find some tangible improvements.

As said, this phone is always fast, there is no real need to OC, other than for 'fun'.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
The fun is what I want...Well,most probably I will have my phone overclocked at the maximum speed it can get for about a week or two and then go back to 1 or 1,1GHz...

Btw,your signature kicks ass andycted! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bled82:
Ok so now that android is starting to support video output and dlna services and full blue tooth is there a way to hook up and external touchscreen and have it display what is on the phone screen ? basically i want to put a 10 inch touch screen in my car and connect it to my speakers and then have either a dock or wireless connection to my android phone so i can have in car nav/mp3/video/phone/video phone and well the list is endless cause android rocks . Anyone have any ideas , also want to keep the cost down .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fitzy75:
I have got a Samsung Galaxy S. I also have an 8 inch touchscreen which I have had for some time but a friend borrowed it and lost the VGA and USB cables for it. Today I hacked up a cable using this http://pinoutsguide.com/CellularPhones-P-W/samsung_galaxy_vidout_pinout.shtml and one of these scart adapters http://img.focalprice.com/spic/201008/GXB12S.jpg. The benefit in using the scart adapter like this is that I can use it in the car with my touchscreen using the RCA plugs, or I can take it in the house and plug the scart straight into the tv :)

I can plug in my touchscreen (using RCA plugs) and get video output using the composite cable to the screen, and if I wanted to, I could play sound through the screens built in speaker but I prefer to route my sound through my Bury CC9960 car kit. So I have a secondary screen on my phone which works great. I am now searching for a way to use the touchscreen functionality on it as well. I believe this would require USB Host (or USB-OTG) functionality which is possible on some devices but I haven't yet tried on mine. I guess using a touchscreen would also need an app on the phone to calibrate the position of clicking on the screen with whats being displayed (and possibly to rotate the controls 90 degrees when the phone is in portrait or landscape mode).

I think with a bit of software and hardware hacking it would definitely be possible, it may be dependent on the hardware in your phone supporting USB Host mode but I would think most Android phones probably have a video-out option so you could still use this as I currently do but it may take a while longer for someone to come up with a hack to use the touchscreen functionality.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lahma69:
I have been searching for some way to do this since I got my Evo 4g. I am now using an Evo 3D, and would really like to be able to output to a 7"-10" stereoscopic 3d touchscreen display ;) Hard to find... but they do exist... and my evo 3d does output 3d content over DLNA, wirelessly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peterkaptein:
Possible but with limitations

If you have a Android tablet/device with Resistive Touch screen and HDMI out, you probably can connect an external LCD screen with Touch to it.

I do not know for tablets with capacitive screens, as I have not tried it yet

I tried this as an experiment, based on / inspired by the Martin Drashkov experiment (Google for martin drashkov and android megapad) and succeeded.

The Resistive screen tablets use - in most cases - 4 wire Resistive Touch panels.

These panels are "interchangeable". The 23 inch Resistive touch panel I used for my proof of concept worked absolutely fine and without the need to adjust settings on touch positions.

See my blog post about it:

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rokenford:
in the latest CM builds, this is a checkbox in the settings for the power control widget called vertical layout. delete the one you have currently, then add it back again with that box checked.

or maybe its a KaosFroyo thing. thought it was CM.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sa12awr:
Yes, but it's a different vertical layout than the one I linked to.. the one built into CM is more like a 4x1 or 4x2 widget, even in vertical layout. the one I linked to from the nexus forum is a true vertical, 1x4 widget. Try it out on yours, and you'll see what I'm talking about..

[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Seems that every person using the beta from the give-away is using it because they bought it on eBay or Craigslist. Has every one of those people sold theirs? or is there no users that received their Streak from the Give-Away posting or reading here? If they are I missed the posts.

When given the Streak, did Dell say "Just toss it in the trash in a few months when it stops working." It seems so strange that Dell would give away a phone that would just quit in a month or two and become useless. I would be angry if I was using the phone, filling out the surveys for Dell each week, reporting problems, being their lab mouse and then just one day the phone would stop working ..
[Streak 5 General] martywix:
When did they stop working....I am on TMo, and I have had mine for 2 months. I use it everyday and still am now. I am also on 2.1 now. I do not think I am going to toss it in the trash anytime soon.

[Streak 5 General] odna3ra:

[Streak 5 General] joeclark:

[Streak 5 General] joeclark:
well i talked to Att this morning (att buisness customer support, since i have a buisness account) and the girl on the phone just entered the IMEI# in the system and it seems to be working im at 1.5 hrs right now since phone call.
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
Anybody with beta streaks noticing any hardware defects? I bought one off CL (The long arm of ATT doesn't reach Japan), and mine is really sensitive to overheating. Playing SNESoid for an hour or so brings the temp to 36-37 degrees C (96-98 F), and if I am in a warm environment, I can get maybe 30 minutes of web browsing before it overheats and restarts.

This was much worse when I flashed it to 2.1, where even in a highly air conditioned room, the thing would overheat and restart from less than 20 minutes of heavy activity.
[Streak 5 General] kertong:
I had my account suspended for the 2nd time today. I am also on a business plan with AT&T.

I spoke with the rep and she told me I'd have to switch to an approved device. I told her "that is not going to happen", as I have a perfectly legitimate, FCC approved unlocked device that they claim I can use on their "open" network.

She unsuspended my account and told me that my phone service would continue to get suspended next time the suspensions roll around (seems to be happening weekly now). I told her I'd call back every single time that happened. She had nothing else she could do for me.

I'm heading over to TMobile to get my # ported out of my ATT business account later today. 2.5G of uninterrupted service @ TMo is better than 3G of spotty ATT service that gets suspended every week, imo.

Up until today, I had held on to a sliver of hope that ATT would lift the block once the streak was officially released. No more. ATT has screwed us, and since there are only 1000 of us, they really won't care and will NOT change their policy unless we can get some egg on their face (press/blogosphere?) If I were a press person, I'd probably attack the "AT&T goes back on open network policy" rather than taking the "AT&T screws dell beta testers" angle. :)
[Streak 5 General] kertong:
Thanks for the tip on the FCC complaint (jmm). I filed both 2000A and 2000B - deceptive advertising and promotion practices (at&t claims an open network with no policing of unlocked devices, that you can use whatever you want), and also for interruption of service.

I highly suggest everyone do the same here: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm Takes about 3 minutes.

Anyone know if any other unlocked phone has had similar blockings by AT&T? The more friends we can rally against AT&T, the better. I'll be a T-Mobile customer in about 1 more hour, but I would still love to see AT&T burn for this.

I'll update this thread if the FCC responds.
[Streak 5 General] Funk2641:
So, here's my story:

I got the text of death earlier today. I called 2 customer service reps, and the had no idea what the Streak even was.

So, I decided to go to a ATT store, you know, since one is less than five minutes away. I walked in and showed my "Streak". (Sorry I couldn't resist). Anywhoo, the rep was amazed, since he'd never seen one, much less used one. He even took pictures of it with his...Evo.

I showed him the text of death, and he made some calls to another rep, who then asked me some questions. I told him that it was a Streak, and he asked for the IMEI. I told him the IMEI, and he made some adjustments, and suddenly my SIM card dies.

They get another SIM card, activate it, and here I am with a unlocked, no-restrictions-beta Streak with 2.1.

Feels good :D

And i agree the whinning attitude will not gat you very far, no matter what you are dealing with in life
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
I have just filled it out and submitted the claim.

I have been using my Texas Beta Streak for the past 2 weeks now with no service interruption. I have received the text message 3 times thus far.
[Streak 5 General] kertong:
Good point, but you are making the assumption that I saw and signed this email/contract in the first place. I did not. When myself or other users buy their streaks from craigslist/ebay, they are often sold as new phones and there is no way to tell if it is a beta unit or not unless you are quite technically savvy and know of the ongoings of the streak community.

I don't think we should expect any gadget hobbyist who enjoys picking up devices, to always be fully armed with the knowledge that there are beta streaks floating around, banned from AT&T. Again, caveat emptor, but to me, this is a much less than ideal situation. When I purchase a used phone from craigslist (I switch phones quite often as I develop for android/iphone so I cannot afford to buy all these phones out of contract), I check the ESN on cdma phones, but never did I think that I would have to check for the existence of banned greymarket devices that look, feel, and act 99% like the real one.
[Streak 5 General] texasryno:
I'm an original Beta Streak Owner. Got mine from the race beta and still play with it. I did get it banned from AT&T like everyone else so I made them give me a captivate for free assuming they would unban it when it got released. So far it doesnt look like that will happen so I'm not sure If I will sell it or just keep it as a wifi toy. I did the UK rom swap and now have it running 2.1. I'm not sure I could part with it. I would love a data only plan from T-mobile if I could get it cheap and just use it like a tablet/gps device...who knows.
