how is the screen prettier? I must ask I didnt know anything about that really... i just know it feels cheap and plasticky and none of the specs are as good as hd2 with android
[General Topics] goldeman:
i have the hd2 with android and i also have a vibrant. now before anything get says ive never been a fan of wm! in my opinion the vibrant is a better phone. if you want android get an android phone. not a phone with " windows mobile" then flash android on there! the samsung also has a higher resloution screen and it actually works in the sunlight. and the battery life on the hd2 is HORRENDOUS and thats being nice. i average about 10,000 texts a month and over 3000 minutes and the hd2 would crap out on me in 4 hours flat! im all for buying spare batteries and such and i really wish i could say i had a good experience with the hd2 but besides the big screen the phone serves as a good paper weight
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
but in what way is the HD2 worse than this as an android phone? theres the G sensor yeah but were like 4 steps away from calibrating that and defeating the issue and the hardware is quite obviously better...
[General Topics] jaidedfocus:
Speaking strictly on hardware I think the HD2 is the winner. The Vibrant doesn't feel too well put together. The hardware was what made me get the HD2 over the Behold 2 and other phones being offered in April.

Software speaking I wish I'd never gotten the HD2. Maybe that's just my experience. But as soon as I saw that you could run Android from the HD2 the phone was new again. But right now while I want a true Android experience I'm gonna till Sept for the newest offerings rather than get the Samsung.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
so I guess the general consensus is the HD2, i mean with an HD2 running android it seems theres really no competition from my standpoint, I really dont see much longevity in the galaxy S series either, i mean they still havent updated to froyo...
[General Topics] rr5678:
OTHER than the horrendous battery life? :p
[General Topics] darkshadow2k9:
both run a 1ghz cpu i also thought i read the gpu was better on the vibrant as far as screen yea its.3 inches smaller but it has gorilla glass which is stronger than the hd2 and the hd2 is 480 X 800 WVGA where the vibrant is 480 x 800 Super AM-OLED battery life on the vibrant is great and is true android dont get me wrong hd2 is great but it depends on personal preference
[General Topics] Sorainzo:
They're both excellent phones. The HD2's screen is large and immersive, and with some tweaking and researching, HD2 would be near-perfect according to today's standards of phones. Samsung vibrant is just as good, but the screen isn't as large. However, the quality of the Vibrant's screen is amazing. Again, both great phones, definitely some of the best that T-Mobile has to offer right now.
[General Topics] GbrilliantQ:
They have the same 800x480 screen res. Battery life has gotten better with new builds, I'm averaging a solid 12 hrs of heavy use. The HD2 feels better, looks better and is made better than that ugly plastic samsung thing.
[General Topics] goldeman:
And also..last time I checked no one is trying to put winmo on their phone.... Get the vibrant! And you wouldn't get 12 hours out of any phone with heavy use! Stop your ****!
[General Topics] ryno502:
Vibrant has a faster processor (Hummingbird > Snapdragon), more graphics power, better quality screen (Super AMOLED), and runs Android out of the box. I have an Epic 4G and coming from the regular AMOLED on my Samsung Moment I notice a HUGE difference. The Galaxy S screens are just amazing.

All Galaxy S phones (Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, and Fascinate) will get FroYo by early October, and likely Gingerbread by March/April of next year.

If you want the extra .3 inches in screen real estate get the HD2, if you want the newer, more powerful device get the Vibrant.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uschinator:
Good morning,

my mandroid Backup keeps hanging at system files, especially the file "libopencore_srtp.so". Everytime i try to make a nandroid backup, doesn't matter out of rom manager or direkt over volume down and power and the recovery menü, the backup stops at the libopencore file and won't go on. Only pull out the battery helps.

Have someone else these Problems? Is there a solution?

I have a HTC Desire SLCD, rooted, clockwork recovery vers. 2.5.0.1 (2.5.0.7 out of the rom manager) and LeeDroid 2.0a.

I hope someone can help me.

Sorry for my poor english.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uschinator:
Problem solved!

Rom Manager:

Clear Downloadcache

do a backup

Everything works fine! :)
[Epic 4G General] 1NfE5T:
When I plug in the headphones(the one's included) the output comes from the speaker AND headphnes at the same time? I might be a lil tipsy but I can't find in the menu for this....I just wanna hook up my headphones and quietly jam out. But can't!
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
Did you plug it in fully?
[Epic 4G General] 1NfE5T:
Yea its in all the way. I hear the headphones AND speaker playing the music.
[Epic 4G General] 1NfE5T:
Did a hard reset....battery pull. Fixed!!!!!! Please deleted.

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
im having this same issue.. Did u have to do a full on hard reset or just pull out the battery for a few and put it back in?

It wasnt to clear in last post
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
I had that issue. I just turned it off and back on. Fixed it. Good luck.
[Epic 4G General] vince2398:
How did you guys fix this? I tried battery pull and turned on/off but no luck. The headphones quality sounds horrible when this happens. Starting to think it's a hardware issue? Thanks for your help.
[Epic 4G General] 1NfE5T:
All I did was did a battery pull. Left it out for about 10 seconds, then put it back in. I must say the sound quailty is nice(headphones that were included). I came from a moment and sound was low....on here its loud :-)
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
i had the same issue when i was using Btunes to listen to music. When i went back to the stock app and also doubletwist the issue went away. I thought i was going crazy when i sat my phone down and could still hear music. LOL.
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
I had the headphones/speaker playing today at the same time as well, it happened when I didn't push the headset in all the way and then backed it out and replugged. It probably botched the software up going in/out/in like that, probably locked the external speaker on.

Yours, on the other hand, sounds like hardware. When the cable gets wonky on my aux wire, I get severe quality issues and I can kind of imagine what you're getting at with yours. Make sure that the plug clicks all the way in, and if the problem keeps happening - hardware it is.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] spfraggle:
I have an UK o2 XDA Ignito and would like to know how to flash a custom rom to this phone. I have already flashed my HD2, would this be in the same way? If so I would assume I would need hspl for the Ignito before flashing a custom rom but I've not been able to find it yet.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mbiba:
I think it the same as flashing hd2. HardSPL you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=101134&d=1216793074

The steps are, copy diamimg.nbh to / of internal Storage, do the HardSPL (link), after that hit the volume down and Baskspace and simultaneous press reset and folow the on-screen instructions, and after the flash do hard reset (volume down+OK and simultaneous reset...

That is in brief description of the whole process.

After the flashing the rom be careful to also flash the radio, I prefer 1.09.25.03 and install appropriate rilphone (search XDA radio thread for this). The process of flashing is almost the same as doing hardSpl.

Also before flash of every rom but not for the first flash try to do MTTY to avoid strange problems, if you wish...

Good luck

[Droid Incredible General] Scblacksunshine:
Thanks, I have a question on condition 4

4. Stock 2.2 without root and with unrEVOked Forever

If I do the steps and since I am not loading RUU (I manually updated the offical OTA and have S-off) will this still wipe my phone clean? Looks like all I am doing is loading clockwork back on and load superuser..etc, that shouldn't wipe all the data right?
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
No, in the case of having 2.2 already loaded and S-OFF, you are correct, the phone will not get wiped. The steps will root the phone and load superuser back on.
[Droid Incredible General] RBurn:
confirmation

Can anyone confirm option 4 working??
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
Those are steps I used to get root back on my phone after I update to 2.2. As I stated, I messed up the first time and did not load unrEVOked forever and could not root the phone, so I had to downgrade to 2.1 first and then go through the rooting process. That time I made sure to load unrEVOKED forever. After that, all went well.

Sent from my HTC Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] bagery77:
I did option 4 early this morning. Worked perfectly.

Thank-you to all involved.
[Droid Incredible General] PimpShit420:
Thanks for the write up =)

I am trying condition five and on step 18 and after running ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin it exectues so I move to step 18 and type adb shell but it remains, $ not root(#). Does anyone know if This has worked yet?
[Droid Incredible General] PimpShit420:
also Im running Ubuntu 10.04 if that makes a difference
[Droid Incredible General] PimpShit420:
adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

cd /data/local

chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image

cd /data/local/tmp

./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

This worked
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
I tried this and it did not work for me. It looked as if it did. It gave me the proper prompt, but on reboot, no root access. I had to use chmod 777 instead of chmod 0755.
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
I made a mistake, the line should have had 777 after chmod, not 0755. I have updated the instructions. If other individuals that use 0755 instead of 777 get the above to work, let me know. I do not know what the difference is. All I know is 0755 did not work for me. I had to use 777. I think I will do some research on chmod.

Hope other individuals find this helpful.
[Droid Incredible General] PimpShit420:
well I got to root in the shell and everyting seemed to work up until I tried to flash the PB31IMG, is says the main version is older and just reboots
[Droid Incredible General] PimpShit420:
I dont know what the difference is but it could be we are running different OS, windows vs linux but I have no clue
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
This is the problem I had. Try 777 instead of 0755 after each of the chmod commands. That is what worked for me.
[Droid Incredible General] PimpShit420:
you were right, the first time 0755 gave me root but did not let me flash the PB file, the second time 0755 didnt work, and 777 did but it still says update fail
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
chmod 0755 vs chmod 777

Well, I looked the chmod 777 and chmod 0755 commands up. Both commands change the read/write state for a file. 0755 changes the permissions for a specific group and user. 777 changes the permissions for everyone. You can find an explanation here: http://ss64.com/bash/chmod.html

0755 did not work for me, but 777 did. I am going to keep the instructions as they are unless I get feedback that 0755 is working for other people. If I do, I will add them as an alternative.
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
Are you using 777 for each chmod command?

Also, I was reading through the steps and found an error with step 16. It said the following:

16. Enter chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin and then press enter.

It should have said this:

16. Enter chmod 777 /data/local/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin and then press enter.

I have updated the steps on post 1.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Thanks very much for this thread!

[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:

[Droid Incredible General] yodelerjn:
WiFi connecting but not allowing any data, even 3G when, wifi on.

Since I rooted my phone using Unrevoked, applied UnrevokedForever, and updated my phone with an RUU

I cannot get my wifi connections to work. They connect to the router just fine, require my encryption passwords, obtain an IP address but if I connect to them it is as if I am getting no data whatsoever. If I try to connect to the marketplace, it gives me a network error.

As soon as I disable wifi, my data connections work, so my 3G connection is fine. I can turn on wifi tethering and it works fine too. I followed the directions from this thread.

What would cause this to happen? Does anyone have any idea of how to try and fix it? I've searched and searched, and I cannot find the answer. I admit that I'm a noob, but I have been reading a lot on these forums, and I'm wondering if it had to do with the radio flash, which scares the hell out of me. I don't know how to downgrade my radio so that I can then upgrade

it again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
I have not seen this problem. I used the steps I provided and have had no issue with WiFi. You might try reloading the ROM and see if that correct your problem. What radio do you currently have loaded?
[Droid Incredible General] DeadmanXX:

I am a noob and wondering what situation would suit my phone? Thanks guys
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
It looks like you have the OTA 2.2 loaded. If you have not rooted or set S-OFF, then you have two choices. You can do condition 5, but this means downgrading your phone to stock 2.1, root, set S-OFF and then updating to OTA 2.2 and reroot. The other option is to wait for the unrEVOked team to release a stable version of unrEVOked 3.2. The choice is yours. Be warnes, condition 5 will wipe your phone, so you will have to set it back up the way you want.
[Droid Incredible General] DeadmanXX:
im guessing that i will just wait in that case for stable 3.2

what was the problem when they released 3.2? Users had few problems?

Just tried the links. No username or password asked for. Try again. If you still can not get them, Email me at dalepl@cox.net and I will upload them to Rapidshare so you can get them.

Can I run the RUU provided in this thread again (over the current configuration) or will that brick my phone? Should I completely downgrade and try again, and if so, how do I downgrade?

You can run the RUU again. It will not hurt your phone. It will wipe it though.

what it the best way to backup all the apps and setting before trying this?

"Official" download instructions?

I didn't get the 2.2 RUU before it went away. I could probably try to find it somewhere else, but I figured I could just get the official download from google (which this site helpfully won't let me post, and equally helpfully wouldn't let me register w/ my email address, hence my username) and follow similar instructions.

Specifically, if you unzip the google download, it has a very helpfully named firmware.zip

Is there any reason I can't just extract firmware.zip, use that to update the recovery firmware, hboot, etc., and then use the updated versions of those to install the entire download as update.zip?
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
I use Titanium Backup.
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
I am not sure about that. What are you talking about the 2.2 RUU going away?
[Droid Incredible General] yodelerjn:
I applied the RUU again, and that fixed it. When I ran it, it brought up the HTC screen trying to find the bootloader and just stuck there. That happened the first time too. It gave me the USB Connection error. I believe it had to do with the driver. I closed the RUU and then relaunched it. It detected the phone right away and started the update, like the first time (before the wifi problem), except this time the wifi is working. I have no idea why it didn't work right the first time.

So thanks for the information. You have, and everyone on the forums for that matter, have been helpful beyond all expectations. I'm now fully rooted with UnrevokedForever, superuser, and the clockwork mod recovery. I'm very happy now! Thank you!
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
Glad to see you got it all loaded and working. I am looking at delving into deoxed to start modding my phone. A new adventure awaits! :D

Still hunting for 2.2 RUU

The download from Shipped-roms wants a password and the one I d/led from rapidshare is always a bad zip file.

Anyone have any more links for it?
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
OK. I see that confipper had to take his site down. This is where the RUUs were hosted. I am currently uploading the 2.1 and 2.1 RUUs to Rapidshare. I will also reload the 2.2 ROM. Once it is complete, I will update the OP and let you know they are updated with new links.
[Droid Incredible General] General1337:
The username and password is "shipped"
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
That is good to know, but I have uploaded the files to Rapidshare and provided new links.
[Droid Incredible General] General1337:
I'm having problems getting this working, for one I can't run the RUU because I am getting errors regarding the USB connection, HBOOT does not seem to load the zip file either. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
First off, I need to know the state of your phone:

1. What ROM do you currently have loaded (2.1 or 2.1)?

2. If you have 2.1 is it rooted?

3. If you have 2.1 or 2.1, is it set to S-OFF?

4. What option were you trying to use?

5. What step did you fail at?

With this, you may be able to get some help.
[Droid Incredible General] General1337:
I'm using 2.1 that has been rooted, so far every step fails I can't run it in HBOOT and RUU won't work as it says USB Connection error however I think this is from drivers and am trying to fix it right now.
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
OK, you gave me a little more, so you are on stock 2.1. Is this correct? You also say it is rooted. Is it set to S-OFF? You said it fails every step. What option did you try?

Unless you give me the info I am asking for, I cannot help you.
[Droid Incredible General] smwoodward:
Try to reload the drivers. Either install HTC sync, or download unrevoked and use the instructions to download the drivers. That should help with the Ian connection errors.

Is your sd card formatted as FAT32?

My card was not formatted to FAT32 and I was having these problems until I read around and formatted that way

That's the only idea I have
[Droid Incredible General] tstone567:
I just assumed that was not really an issue. I looked an it was only FAT. Swapped to a different card at FAT32. Loaded like a champ. Odd that a new device goes out with old school FAT. Thx
[Droid Incredible General] iowabowtech:
So now that 2.2 is the new official "stock", if we need to return a phone and we're rooted can we just run the PB31IMG extracted from the 2.2 RUU since it's the same thing as the OTA? Will that remove root and put us in the same state as all the OTA folks?
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
Yes. If you reload the 2.2 via RUU or HBOOT, it will put you phone back to stock Ii.e. ROM, radio, and HBOOT). However, it will still be S-OFF.
[Droid Incredible General] iowabowtech:
Thanks.

Is it possible to s-on first and then use the 2.2 image file in hboot or would this create new problems? If it is ok, would it matter if we were on a different radio than the stock 2.15 at that time as well?
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
I do believe you could set S-ON and then load 2.2 via HBOOT. It will update the radio back to stock.
[Droid Incredible General] blahb:
Thanks!!!

I thought I'd be slick by dropping back to the stock RUU 2.1 from the leaked 2.2, apply 2.2 OTA and recover back to a nandroid backup without doing any research.

Long story short your instructions got me back to what I wanted, Froyo, HBOOT .92, S-OFF, Root, and access to clockworkmod recovery so I could restore.

Here's to a great weakend!! :D
[Droid Incredible General] dalepl:
Glad it is still helping out people.
[Droid Incredible General] InfamousDX:
So I just did this for my friend's DInc. Slowly but surely and we are rooted on OTA 2.2! Sucks that he didn't use Titanium backup beforehand so now he has to re-download all his apps.

After that, nandroid backup and then looking for a good ROM.

Also, I used the unrevoked3 beta that is floating around. Worked like a charm!

A little different from my Droid X but similar enough that I worked easily out of any hitches.
[Droid Incredible General] smwoodward:
As long as the 2.2 is the signed update HBOOT will load it just fine and you will be back to a 100% stock 2.2. Now, keep in mind, if you turn s-on and load he 2.2, it will make it a little harder to root 2.2 because you will have to revert back to 2.1 so you can root it, install s-off again, reinstall 2.2 then root that again.

Personally I would leave s-off unless you are sending the phone back, the s-off by it's self does not hurt or really change anything except loading an update.zip or pb31img.zip.
[Droid Incredible General] jdf2095:
Hello,

I'm wondering if this is the right place to be to root my DInc if im already using 2.2

I received the update ota.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] smkd13:
Yeah you are. Go to unrevoked.com and root your phone using unrevoked 3 then root using unrevoked forever and then you will be s-off.

Redemption Rom 2.03

Hydra OC 1.113

Unrevoked splash

Cyborg boot
[Droid Incredible General] Nitrogenus:
BUMP

Could this process be used to aid those who recently applied (without S-OFF) the current OTA update for 2.2-wielding DINCs?
