[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negativedrew:
I think I might have a similar problem.

I accidentally deleted the touchwiz framework so I can't do anything ON the phone. It boots up, and gets me to the lock screen. As soon as I unlock, I am greeted with dozens of unending force closes.

I can get into both download and recovery mode, however, I have not been able to get ADB to recognize the device. I am attempting to push the stock ROM to the internal memory to flash over everything.

I'm not sure what to do to get ADB to work but it's driving me nuts!

Feels like I'm having same issues..

the previous post requires opening the phone and I don't have tools for that..

Here's my issue.

I can't get into Recovery or Download and computer won't see phone to Odin.

I've got drivers installed and AIO Toolbox as well as ADB(which won't work because of computer not seeing phone.

Using the manual option(vol+ vol- power), nothing works.

I've done all the tricks like unplug it then hold vol keys plug it insert battery..

When I do plug in the phone to to even just get a charge in it goes the the battery, but my is is frozen or something. doesn't turn green or have a charging animation. After about a minute or so it was start up and boot loop. I read something about a bad battery? I've got two of them and they seemed fine before..

Before all this I had to Odin and go to stock. I was attempting to get ics back but I was being lazy and trying to do as little as possible..bad idea. I was following slim ics install and flashed cm9 daily, slimics and commons..and now this..

I'm not sure what to do..I usually search around xda or google..10 hours later.. idk..Anyone able to give help please?

Did you ever get it fixed man? I literally did the very same to mine a while back and It works like butter as we speak. It is fixable with a mini-usb jig or dongle. You can make your own with about $3 worth of parts from radio shack but I recommend buying one, it will be easier. I for the record made mine simply twisting together the resistors and though it was tough to touch the right pins it did eventually work and get me back into download mode.

Hopefully you already got it fixed though. If not I can help you out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Plug USB in comp, hold the button combo then connect to phone. You can also try, plug USB in comp, pull out phone batt, plug phone in to USB, hold button combo and then replace the battery.

He said he had tried that already. He's in need of a USB Jig now to force it into download mode. I was there a while back, but I got mine working months ago. I think he did too since he hasn't replied back.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickarus:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this fellow's situation as described initially and through this thread match my scenario almost perfectly. The exception is I cannot even get windows to recognize drives when plugged in (inaccessible or otherwise).

Exhibiting the same behavior, I cannot get into download mode via any of the typical prescribed methods (prior to this state, I used to be able to get to download mode via the "2 volume buttons --> connect USB" method). I read the download screen isn't necessarily required for Odin to pick up on the device, but I further cannot get Odin to recognize (where one of the COM boxes turns yellow).

I have 2 questions based on the findings and suggestions here:

1. In reference to the link to the Captivate option illustrating a pin one can ground to enter download mode - does that really apply to our Vibrants? I've popped the back cover and examined extensively and cannot see any such pin along the perimeter of the microUSB or SIM card 'housings.' I stopped short of removing the screws and the back plastic however as I recall that was a real pain from trying previously (to try the GPS antenna contact "fix"), and one of my thumbnails is injured right now anyway and I'd hate to risk further pain on that end.

2. Short of that grounding possibility (I'm really hoping someone can confirm whether the Vibrant has such an option), it sounds as though the USB Jig is the only option available to me and others in this situation. It appears these run ~$6 right now on eBay, and from my reading it sounds as though this should bring any phone back from a soft brick state, but I would really appreciate any further anecdotal confirmation from anyone who has found this to work given this particularly nasty state of soft bricking, wherein you can't get anything but static grey "charging" screen or the "Vibrant/Samsung" loading screen.

Much thanks in advance :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjmiester:
Woah, blast from the past :D ! I went on to a t989 (S2) and am now on an LG G2. Anyway, yeah you will most likely need a usb jig. It will do the trick. I thought it was BS until I tried, and low and behold it booted right into download mode and was able to restore just fine and worked fine since (in fact, I still use my vibrant as an ipod touch like media player). Better than an ipod really, due to the far bigger battery which lasts for days of use in airplane mode! Mine was made from the 3 resistors twisted together from radio shack. As ghetto as it was, it still eventually worked with about 30 mins of wiggling around. You have to get the two ends really really close to get them to touch the two pins. I don't remember which, it's been a while. I would highly recommend buying one. Especially since the homemade one will get screwed up after a while. Mine was in a drawer and got all bent up so I tossed it. $6 is definitely worth it. I also believe it will work for future samsung phones too, but might want to check up on that one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickarus:
Ah I'm so glad you're still around to confirm!

Sounds great then - I'll give it whirl!

I'm certainly sorely tempted by the latest and greatest out there, but this vibrant really just keeps chugging away. Housing is kinda beat up but the screen is in perfect condition. Interested in trying to flash this up to a ROM with TRIM support if at all possible but... baby steps... just gotta get this one back online! =)

Thanks again so much!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickarus:
Just a followup - I grabbed one of the $6 (shipped) options at eBay and it worked PERFECTLY.

There are identical-looking and cheaper listings at $2-3, shipped from overseas, but I didn't want to wait the extra week.

Hope this helps someone else down the road!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I know it was only released yesterday, but I know nothing about the current Desire models. I come from the realm of CDMA Hero's and am moving to the Samsung Epic. My brother just picked up a desire and wants to root it.

Is the current Desire a GSM or CDMA phone?

And has anyone who has gotten the new USC Desire, have you tried the current root method to see if it works. I have doubts that it will.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I am going to assume after looking through this forum a little bit that the current model being developed for here is GSM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
The US Cellular Desire is the first CDMA phone to be called "HTC Desire". Tread carefully. But please also report any positive/negative results so that others can learn from your win/fail.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Thankfully I am pretty Android savvy. I just wasn't sure if it was CDMA or GSM - No radio updates for this phone :(.

If the current root method does not work I will attempt the ones for other devices running 2.1 and might even try the new EVO/Epic root for 2.2.

I'll get this thing rooted if I have to find my own. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
I can't wait to get my US Cellular Desire and I'm really hoping for root. Let us know if you have any luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhh93:
So what are the actual chances that it will work on the uscc desire? I got mine so I guess ill just have to try it tonight.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odd_Sam:
The us desire has a bootloader 0.98.xxxx you will have to downgrade to a different hboot plus I'm pretty sure all the roms only support a gsm radio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Again, tread with caution... if a different HBOOT bricks the phone... there's not much recourse!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepingDeath:
From what I have read/observed, the USCC Desire is basically the same phone as the Nexus One. I would like to know what is different about this thing that would prevent me from rooting and/or upgrading to 2.2.

Anyone have any advice? I can't wait to upgrade this piece.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purezero:
Well, Desire is CDMA. Nexus one is not. completely different cellular radio HARDWARE. and that pesky slcd is also a problem.

Gonna have better luck adapting a cdma android root. (incredible, evo, etc..) at least they use the same radio technology.

i thought the incredible was supposed to get the slcd also...... that would help alot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychache:
I know this doesn't provide any technical information, but just as an FYI I did ask HTC what their policy on rooting is. They said:

"Of course the Desire is your phone. If you would like to root the phone or install 3rd party software to it, you are more than welcome to. It's just that with any 3rd party software, HTC did not create it so we do not have information on how it works therefore, we can not support it. As far as voiding any warranties, I do not have that information. You may contact our Warranty Deparment at 1-800-229-1235 (8:30 AM - 5 PM EST M-F). They will be able to verify that information with you. HTC has repaired some phones that had the incorrect ROM on them. There may have been a fee for this, I am not certain."

I hadn't gotten around to calling about the warranty. I had read elsewhere that as long as the damage wasn't a result of the rooting that they would still repair a rooted phone under warranty, but I don't know if there's any truth to that.

Anyway, I don't know if this helps alleviate any concerns about experimenting with it or not. I had gotten as far as making a gold card for it yesterday, but I'm kind of afraid to go any further until I can get some more information on this specific phone. I feel like there may be a chance with this method since it takes information from your actual device. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
Once you make a gold card, which rooting technique are you going try? Unrevoked is the simplest overall but I think HBOOT 0.98 fixed the exploit that Unrevoked uses.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychache:
I tried unrevoked the other day and it said that it was unsupported. I don't know that I'll go as far as trying to root at this point. I was kind of hoping that someone else would try it first, ha . . . Initially I was doing the gold card just to see if I could at least unbrand it so I could install the OTA update. But then I run into the original issue of whether or not it supports CDMA and/or SLCD. Is there any way to tell aside from actually attempting to flash it? Maybe it would be safer to try one of the methods for the Incredible? Not sure what version of HBOOT that has on it. Honestly, I'm pretty far from being any kind of expert on this. So far I've only had experience with rooting the Moto Droid and that was pretty much cake since the phone is so old at this point.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
There's only one set of RUU that support CDMA at this point. Pretty much any other attempt will brick your desire. You could try one of those RUU's and see if it downgrades where you could root then.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychache:
Yeah, I think I'm going to wait until some sort of tested method is worked out. I'm not at any kind of skill level to be figuring this stuff out on my own. Overall I'm pretty pleased with how the phone worked right out of the box. My only major complaint is the lack of internal storage for apps and the fact that you can't remove any of the preinstalled crap. This is the only reason I was really even looking into rooting or unlocking at this point. I just hope that the fact that the EVO and Incredible got their updates means that one can't be far off for the Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primerorico:
psychache - I feel ya there. I got mine and I love it. However, was kinda skiddish on testing on this new unit. Whether or not the insurance would cover it if I bricked it. Even then, would still be another $100 deductible.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepingDeath:
I am willing to try something. I already tried the Universal Androot to no avail... no brick or anything, it just didnt take.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychache:
Well, if anyone else is up to the challenge you could always call the number I posted above to get a definite answer on whether you would still have coverage if you did brick. I had actually had several replies back and forth with them before I asked specifically about rooting and was very impressed by how responsive and open-minded they were. I'd say of any of the manufacturers they're probably the most likely to be "cool" about it. And you're right, primerorico, worst case scenario is you could do an insurance claim and pay the $100 (you know, because you "lost" it). I know that's not cheap but it's a heck of a lot less than paying the full retail for a new one. Just food for thought for anyone who actually knows what they're doing . . . (unlike myself)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillThyCat:
Use Unrevoked 3.2.x (It's available from IRC), it works and as far as I know is the only safe way to root the CDMA Desire.

It also unlocks security, so you can poke around in System without having to do it from recovery. Makes removing the preinstalled apps a breeze.

Hi guys,

sorry if my english isnt so good...

i'm in trouble with ADB..

i want to upgrade my swype keyboard on my NEW M1 rom eu....i got the 1.58 and i want to try the 1.60..

i found a thread on this forum with commands for upgrading the swype like this way:

adb remount
adb shell
su
pm list packages -f | grep swype
rm /system/app/<restOfApkPathFoundInAboveCommand>
pm uninstall <value after apk= found in result of 2 commands above>
exit

Install normally. If you want the apk in the rom:

adb push <newSwype.apk> /system/app/<newSwype.apk>
adb remount
adb shell
pm install <newSwype.apk>

(found here-> LINK)

I'm stuck at the beginning:

Hi XDA experts.

I have found myself in a bit of a quandry.

My HTC Ignito touchscreen failed while I was on holiday. ( no entry possible at all =-(

I just go back, and have been trying to backup the phone.

I have read all the threads I can find on the subject, and tried to install EveryWAN and Mymobilier software. The problem I have is that the device is stuck in HDD mode, as I set it to go to that mode automatically ( with hindsight a stupid move......)

Therefore EveryWan and MyMobiler will not connect to the phone.

I want to backup my contacts and download the holiday pictures.

I have seen some mention of adding a file to folder 2577 on the HDD to autorun, is it possible to use this trick to set the device to activesync ?

I am a programmer by trade, so dont be afraid to suggest something complicated and off the wall, I will try anything to get my contacts back !

I have ordered a new HTC Desire to replace it, maybe there is a way to swap data across directly ?
