I have been having random reboot problems for weeks and no matter what I try I cant get it to stop. So I have tried to get back to unrooted stock so i can return. I have unrooted 2.2 on my device now, but i have s-off. From what I have heard I need s-on in order to return it.

Can anyone help me on this ?

I had hoped that going back to stock ROM's would stop the rebooting, but it has not. I still get the random reboots. sometimes it reboots a few times and then goes dead on me. I have to remove the battery and sd card to just get it to turn back on again... ugh

Guess you never read Unrevoked when they said that S-OFF is permanent for the time being and that they didn't know if they would be able to turn it back on. Your best bet is to say you lost it file a lost/stolen report with the police pay the insurance deductible get the new phone and sell the old one with bad ESN for sprint.

I just reflashed 2.1 via the first step of the how to root 2.2 method by regaw. 2.1 was always much more stable for me. it was when i went to 2.2 that i started having all the issues. and I thought that you could go s-on with 2.1 using the latest unrevoked. but i could have read that wrong.

So is it just a coincidence that every OTA up to this point has broken root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
HTC totally knew how to S-ON this whole time. They built the damn thing.

The UnrEVOked team mentions this in the link posted above. If they DID S-ON everyone it would break every phone that's legitimately S-OFF for testing purposes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaaaas:
what he said... further. root methods represent legitimate security holes in the software. s-off doesn't
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
It may enable the security but it won't break them by any means, they could easily leave a backdoor on their devices that would allow it to be disabled again

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kmartin888:
i am hoping i did not brick my phone, but i can not seem to get it working again, i have read through a few threads, and some of them seem to say that it is not bricked if you can enter the 3 color boot loader screen.

i have an AT&T fuze, i have flashed energy's roms many times and was just trying to flash the most recent cookie rom. about 79% through the flash i get a connection error and the progress stops and stays at 79% for a while before i try the recovery options, none of them worked.

I keep getting the same connection error. if i remove and reinsert the battery and power on, it takes me to the 3 color boot loader. at the bottom of the green part it says " upgrade ROM code error Please try again". in the white part it says serial, but changes to USB when I plug it in tho the computer.

i tried booting the rom from the SD card, but that didn't work either. I've tried with several different roms that i know i flashed successfully in the past, but those haven't worked either. when i tried to flash via the SD card i get a breif flash of the gray screen and a message that said "no rom image found" before returning to the bootloader screen.

After posting about this in another thread, someone suggested to try task 29.

I tried that followed all the instructions, and now when i boot up, it boots to a splash screen like it says, but i still get the same error when i try to flash from the sd and i still can not get a connection to the pc to flash. whenever i connect, the bootloader screen indicates a usb connection, but when i run the rom update utility i still get the connection error.

The thing that is even more confusing to me is that i was able to make the connection to the phone in order to run the task 29, but not for anything eles.

ALSO, one thing i noticed was that when a connection was made to the computer, the computer would make a sound indicaing a connection, but a couple of times i would get an indication in the bottom right corner that the drivers were not installed. maybe that is an issue that could be fixed.

if anyone can help or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it a lot.

I have tried to include as much info as needed here, but if more detailed info is needed, let me know

thanks in advance

can someone tell me if is possible port Android on this amazing device??

someone is working on this???

I wuold like a lot if someone port Andoid on oHD!!!
[Android] fonix232:
I was working on it for a long time. Unfortunately it is impossible, due to limited bootloader space (not enough for an android one) and no recovery partition. Also it would need a totally new partition layout (as it only has two accessable internal and one external drive, so no cache, recovery access, nor swap.

And also do not forget about the hardware incompatibility. Even if we manage to boot it, you will hardly be able to even make a phone call. Not to say use WiFi, or GPS, BT, or anything.

hi i joined because of some interest in this,

first of all let met tell you that i own a samsoung i8320 (vodafone h1).

this in some way helps because we now have a 'working' limo kernel, in my opinion it might help us out here.

the problem i have is that i never ever yet have been able to do 'any of the work here under' - the fact that i know howto doesn't make me capable of doing, (its like the fact that you know a plain fly's because of big wings and an engine, doesn't make you a pilot)

---------

the H1 uses a rather standard linux kernel as far as i can tell from the source could, though i havn't been able to run it inside quemu yet..

some guys allready interested in porting android say that they got android running but without functions like phone or wifi. this is because thay used an android kernel rather than the samsung one.

step 1:

so what if you would strip the samsung rom from all 'userland' software, keeping only the kernel, its drivers and busybox stuf.

creating a root shell only - you may even be able to make it mount as /boot rather than /

step 2:

now ad ad adtional filesystem on the internal phone memory or an external sdcard ... format it as you like (ext3 with noadtime could do, but other options are also availible).

this should now be where the remaining of the android rom should be. you could now always update most of your your android and apps exept for your linux kernel or drivers. without reflashing. this idea is largely based on apps-2-sd so we all know its been done before.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woppe:
I'm moving to the U.S. (california if that matters) in a couple of weeks and it's time for me to buy a desire. Being from Sweden I'm used to having great 3g service and use it well. What happens if i buy the phone here (not a U.S. specific model) and bring it overseas? Will 3g work? If so, can I choose from any carrier?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
No it won't - a European Desire won't give you 3G on any US Network.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwayslearning:
it all depends on which carrier you use. I have ATT and I bought my Telstra (made for AUZ) that uses the same band for 3g as ATT does and I get great 3g in SO CAL.

if you buy one in Sweden it will not work on 3g here. You can buy one from US Cellular and it will work here but they don't have that great of coverage. You can buy a EVO from Sprint, but you won't have a sim card.

If you buy a Telstra for the US it will work in Sweden (not sure about 3g) but you will have 3g in US on ATT when you get here. I bought my from here
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woppe:
Thank you, that was helpful information!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwayslearning:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] or8it:
I'm going to Florida on holiday next year. I intended on buying a prepaid sim for my Desire (from Orange, debranded and unlocked). I did intend using 3G if it were available but after reading some of these posts I'm now unsure this will work.

Much appreciated if anyone could give me any advice.

Many thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwayslearning:
if you have an EUR desire it will not work on 3g in the US, it has different bands. it will work for Edge. If the phone's bandwidth (networks) don't match the carrier's it does not matter what sim card you have. Most EUR world phone's will work in US but just not on 3g, it must be same bandwidth.

if you must have 3g for your hoilday then you are better buying a prepaid phone, but that won't be a Desire :(

Hi!

Type *#*#4636#*#* in dial pad, you will get to a screen where some information and hidden settings placed in; then tap on the first item which is "telephone information", and there press "menu" button, here in the android menu the first item is "select radio-band"! when you choose this menu option you will see a list of GSM/UMTS radio-band alternatives; Automatic, EURO, USA, JAPAN, AUS, AUS2 bands"

Well I'm not expert on this particular issue, just wondering what these radio-band options are for(?) Maybe you can change your Desire's radio band to USA band and try if it works in the USA (appreciate if you supply feedback whether or not it really works)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc fan89:
You can't change bands that's hardware related, its cheaper to buy a TELUS desire, it has 850, 1900 bands
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Unfortunately when the Telus Desire goes back to Sweden, it won't have 3G.

The US Cellular Desire won't work in Sweden at all since there's no CDMA carrier.

If it weren't so hard now to get a Nexus One I'd suggest that to you. Both version support Euro 3G and you'd use it on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US depending on which version you acquire.

The problem is, as far as I know, there are no tri-band 3G HTC Desires. There is 850/1900 (Telus), 850/2100 (Telstra) and 900/2100 (Euro). So Telstra is the only one that gives you some compromise of 3G on both continents.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure all the GSM North American Samsung Galaxy S phones (Bell Vibrant, AT&T Captivate, T-Mobile Vibrant) support the Euro 2100 band.

Hi everyone! I' m happy to join your great community! :D

I have a friend's SAMSUNG B7620 GIORGIO ARMANI phone that has two little problems. :(

1)The screen is like a mirror after a failed try to update the phone (so I want to update it and the problem will be fixed). Can anyone send me a complete guide to do this for this phone?

2)The GSM is locked and does not "read" the sim card, so I have to unlock the GSM to solve a problem with the SIM card.

These two problems will fix this nice phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw420:
On the original 2.1 you could connect a VPN and still surf the internet. Now with Froyo you can't. I've searched high and low for a setting in the GUI and on the file system and can't find anything that would allow me to turn off use of the VPN connection as the default gateway. Since many Market apps, in particular my Xtralogic RDP client, often check to make sure they are registered this new VPN "feature" renders all of these apps useless to those who use them through VPN tunnels.

Does anyone know where the settings for VPN connections are stored? Are they human readable? I did find one file in /system/etc/ppp that looks like a standard debian-like interface script, if-up-vpn, but it looks to be binary. However I am using an L2TP connection and can't find anything anywhere. Worst case, is there a way i modify the routing table on the fly? I'm used to UNIX-like manageability using the usual netstat/iptables/ifconfig kind of thing, but Android is far from what I'm used to and doesn't seem to be easily manhandled. Hopefully there is someone around here who knows how to Ginsu this back to normal. Thanks in advance!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] send2toonie:
So with all these new phones come out, I felt the need the update my phone. I considered the Galaxy variants, but settled on the Dell Streak. Two of my friends, choose the Samsung Captivate. So I had a chance to experience all three. Anyways I choose Dell for its 5" screen. I surf on my phone way more than I talk or game. I'm more of a productivity type than the gamer/entertainment type.

Anyways, for all of you thinking on 'upgrading' and you're on the fence about it, my advice is to wait. Its no upgrade in going to a Galaxy S, Streak, or any other device at the moment IMO.

Galaxy is nice, but its the same/same as a nexus. You get a tiny bit bigger screen, with in my opinion wrong colours; too vibrant and too pop. Nexus has way better support, lastest firmware/roms, trackball colours/wake, etc.

Dell, nice screen, I love it. Basically no kernel, no support. Its all about waiting, waiting, waiting... for Dell. Android 1.6 is good, but once you've had CM6 its hard to settle. I know theres a 2.1 leak out, but I find it too buggy.

Overall, I feel that the N1 is a far superior phone compared to others available at the moment.

So currently I'm giving the dell a go, while the nexus is a drawer. I imagine I would be switching between the two often.

Sorry for the rant.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:
I literally agree with everything you said.

I bought the dell streak thinking it would be awesome..

It blows. So i posted something in the marketplace for a trade. and whadaya know? i have a nexus one again.

I missed it immensely. but u have it back. i suggest you do the same. if you arent happy, theres no reason not to be.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otis_bartleh:
I felt the exact same way, so I bought a Galaxy S (Vibrant), thought the screen was amazing, but everything else disappointed. I returned it 1 1/2 days later and rooted my N1. So much happier now, with the same N1 I had before... Sometimes you forget what you have till its gone...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melwan:

couldn't have said it better myself
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otis_bartleh:
no kidding... When I was looking at phones, I had a feeling I wasn't gonna be keeping anything I got cuz I was benchmarking my N1 next to all the new "great" smart phones, and they all fell WAY short of my N1 (i know not a fair comparison, but thats kinda the point), as well as not having the capabilities to do what the N1 can, really was a no brainer. it was nice though to see that all the hype still can't beat this underdog N1!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Switching phones now is pretty silly.

Unless you want a keyboard (obviously), there's no reason to switch phones until the next era of mobile processors comes out. Otherwise, it's just a sidegrade, not an upgrade.

I'm waiting for a 1.3-1.5 GHz phone before I even think about switching. Preferably a 4" Super AMOLED, and only Samsung can produce SAMOLED, so it'll be a long time since they just launched 4 phones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otis_bartleh:
Sidegrade was exactly the words I used when I returned it. Really, the main reason I started looking now was since there is one area my 3G drops, and I drive it all the time streaming (or trying to stream) music. The Vibrant didn't have any better reception, actually a bit worse, and there was no way I was going to pay $300 if that problem wasn't fixed, and to have to wait for a crippled froyo. The ONLY thing that was better about the Vibrant was the screen, and not by much, only in direct sunlight was it that much better. It even felt cheap.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashpunks:
well, I love these threads cause I got both.

The n1 is a great device and theres probably no need to upgrade/sidegrade to anything else.

BUT wow guys. Im not saying the vibrant/ sgs smokes the n1 cause it dont.

But give the phone credit when its due.

SIDEGRADE? wow, 16gb(2gb for apps) of rom vs 512mbs (195mb total after os takes rest).

the video camera kicks the n1s azs even with the 720p hack.

GPU smaaaaaaaaashes the n1s, eats it alive http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=cl4p5JI0-gQ I love my n1 but this makes me crinnnnge.. lol

Super amoled makes my n1s amoled look like crap, the blacks are greyish on the n1 compared to the vibrant.

Real MT screen, I love the n1 for browsing, but when the fuking thing cant even pinch to peak in the gallery properly without fanning out the wrong way then back the other and back again, and in simple games it cant register the right finger when the iphone 2g could, thats just plain junk. The vibrants hands down can detect multiple fingers I believe unlimited.

just over all better touch screen. Besides the MT the vibrants is just smoother, responds faster and just feels better.

Yes the N1 has it beat in a few areas as well. Build quality (although the vibrants isnt bad), but I never drop my phone anyways, and honestly the heavier n1 would probably suffer a bigger ding in the metal edges vs the lighter vibrants would.. Just my opinion

The n1 has notifications and I miss my trackball baaaaad

Also the n1s has a flash and the damn vibrant dont. boo. But it does have night view and the n1 even with flash cant replicate some of these types of photos.

The n1 will be updated to Gingerbread first yes, but honestly do you think it will still be in the light mid 2011? No way, not with way better hardware coming. Also the SGS will be on all carriers and have way more people with them. There will be tons of Development its just begun. I believe in the next few months it may surpase the N1s....

My opinion is they both have their strengths and weaknesses, but a better touch screen, better video recording, way more memory, and a better gpu outweights a light on the phone, trackball and updates which at that point the vibrant will get anyways by custom roms etc.

Just my opinion. I got both, the Vibrant is the better phone in my opinion. By a lot? Maybe not, but dont sell the SGS out like its not as good as the n1. Cause thats just retarded.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otis_bartleh:
@smashpunks:

I see your point, and was with you until the retarded comment. That was just unnecessary... I could care less about the video camera, my multitouch works fine on my N1, is WAY faster to respond and react than the Vibrant (don't even understand how you could have felt the opposite), I don't game or watch movies on my phone, and have no issues with the internal memory. And so you say the N1 will be essentially obsolete mid 2011, I might be able to agree with that considering whats around the corner; however, the Galaxy S is not that far advanced over the N1 where it will be around longer than it, in my opinion. So, for me, the galaxy s ONLY had the nicer screen in direct sunlight going for it.

So given what I use my phone for and how I use it, the N1 is still far superior to the Vibrant,or for that matter, the Droid X, 2, and Incredible, and I would have been retarded to keep the Vibrant.
