[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alec2005:
My first post and I hope i'm in right section. I have just tried to root my htc desire and install 2 roms.

The rooting of phone worked fine [I think]. Came up with super user permissions so guess I got that part right. Now the problem.

I then went to upgrade it from 2.1 to 2.2 using radio zip file and defrost zip file through ROM manager but now can't get any further.

My htc is now stuck on the white htc screen when I switch it on and when I try to do the recovery by holding down the back button while pressing the power button I don't get any joy.

HELP!!! How can I overcome this? Your help would be very appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee815:
go to recovery & wipe cache etc then reload the rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzatlacael:
On MyTouch Slide (not sure if is the same on every phone)

You first Hold Down Volume button and don't let go while then press Power button, with volume buttons and power to select Recovery.

And that's how I go to recovery... then proceed with whatever you must/want to do..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] iVapor:
Hey guys i'm new to posting although i have been reading a lot due to my recent purchase of the Samsung Galaxy S (should arrive on tuesday :) ) . Just wanted to ask you guys a few questions if that is OK?

1. First of all is a root really necessary? Or do people only use it if they experience lag? (does everyone get lag).

2. Is it the same method to root in the UK as in the US?

3. My main worry is that if i try to root i might brick the phone, what are the chances of that happen?? Probably not going to root just due to the chance i might end up bricking it!

4. Any recommendations of cases or screen protectors also??

Thanks very much

EDIT: ****, just seen the Q+A section :\
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BenF1:
1) Depends, my sim free one, I never experienced lag.

2) Root method is the same for all i9000's.

3)There is a little chance of bricking if you can get into download mode. So be sure to check you have it (Im sure you will the issue only seems to affect Canadian i9000's). Power button + volume down + home button ;).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
Unfortunately the issue doesn't seem to only affect Canadian SGSs.... but there is next to zero chance of bricking your phone rooting it without using Odin.

The update.zip method does nothing to the kernel, it does nothing to the firmware system, just copies a couple of needed files into the system directory.

Now flashing a ROM or a firmware is a different thing, and yes, there you will need to make sure you can get into download/recovery mode using the 3 button combo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iVapor:
OK So if i can use the 3 button combo its pretty much guarantee'd safety?

Do you have to root to remove touchwiz and customize home screen? Is there anything i should really be aware of when setting up and starting my phone, any tips or tricks that will make it better (without rooting; for now dno if im gonna do it yet)

Thanks for the ongoing help

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] money69:
I rooted my Mytouch slide this afternoon and loaded another ROM which I decided I didn't like. So, I went back to stock, but its an earlier version than what I had before I rooted. There's are updates on this forum for the most recent OTA update. However, I get a signature error when I goto load it.

I boot into recovery by going holding Vol Down + power, the phone then reads the files on my SDCARD. After that, I go down and select "Recovery" and I goto the screen with the Red Triangle.

I then hit Vol up + Power and load the next screen, I select "Apply Update: update.zip" or whatever it says and I always get a signature error, I have tried the file form 3 different sources with the same result, surely someone has experienced this and can help me. Im using Simple Mobile so I dont think that I will get the OTA request so I need to find a way to get this OTA loaded unless there is a nandroid backup with these updates already in it.

Please help me, Ive read every possible thread on this site without any results.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] money69:
Im running the stock Tmobile Rom version 1.18.531.1.

I want to update the phone to 1.35.531 and make the sure the radio is updated to 7.09.35.10. Both the newest versions of stock.

I have downloaded the ~25MB update from here but I get a signature error everytime I try and run the update. To run it, Im booting with Vol Down + Power, then to "Recovery" and when the screen comes up with the Red Triangle, (Vol Up + Power). Then I select "Update.zip" but it fails on the signature verification.

Thats exactly what Im doing, am I missing something?

Ok,

I have a little update and Im hoping someone can put me on the right track from here. I flashed the stock ROM located at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713507

My version is now up to 1.26.531.1 and my radio is still at 7.08.35.04S

When I put the full ~25MB update to 1.35.531 on my sdcard as update.zip I go into Recovery and select the update.zip. Now I get past the signature but it errors out with the following error:

EDIT: DISREGARD THIS. GO TO POST #3 and #4

Hello guys,

this is my first post so if I'm posting in the wrong section please bear with me.

I recently bought a T5388++ HTC diamond 2 clone. Everything was fine except that I couldn't get a GPS fix. (In the Start -> Settings -> System -> GPS Settings [Satellite State] I only had *red* satellites)

I used the "aluminum foil in the back side" fix, which worked well and I could get a fix.

Being an uneasy person I open the back cover of the cell phone to take a look (beware the headphone cables).

Now here is the good part.

On the left side (near the sd card and where the stylus ends) is probably the GPS antenna.

In the inside, on the board's side, there are two metallic "pins" which (when the cover is closed) touch the back of the antenna. What I did was to add some foil on the back side of the antenna so the contact with the pins would be more tight.

This worked like a charm and the signal is very good. I can even get a decent fix (3-4 *blue* satellites) from inside the house.

Sorry for the lack of pics, if anyone tries it, post a couple pictures and I can show you what I did exactly.

EDIT: DISREGARD THIS. GO TO POST #3 and #4
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lamoun:
Pics!!!!

Here are some pics.

First unscrew the four screws, one at each corner of the phone.

Then slice the phone with the help of small flat screwdriver or some other tool. (there are some appropriate notches for that purpose)

**Beware of falling parts**

In the forth and fifth pic you can see where I install the alu foil.

Now you can close the phone and enjoy your newly found GPS! :cool:

[I also tried some solder, but the results where almost the same]
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cybermaus:
Congrats.

However, I can assure you that is not the GPS antenna. Based on the antenna size and shape (its a small inverted F antenna, see the black sticker that is attached to in on top of the stylus case) I am assuming it is either the Bluetooth or WiFi antenna.

The GPS antenna is a bit higher, it is the small pink 'cube' thingy on top of the phone, connected by the micro coax connector.

I had reported before the micro coax is loose in some devices, and I suspect you 'accidentally' fitted it better while opening and closing the phone.

But congrats on your successful operation anyway, being able to open and close the phone and still have a working one is already good, and often, just doing that and ensuring all connectors are clean and properly fit solves a all sorts of problems.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lamoun:
Yeap you are right!

I have read you saying this about loose connectors, so when i first opened the phone I refitted the micro coax.

In my defense I tried to see if this was the antenna. I disconnected it and opened the GPS. Seeing many satellites on the screen (red ones) I concluded that this was not the GPS antenna. (I thought maybe WiFi since I've seen this type of connector on my laptop's wifi)

But having read your post now, I tried a new experiment and found out that the "red" satellites appear, due to the A-GPS (with neither "my" GPS and THE GPS antenna).

Damn...

So could someone change the title to "OLD GPS reception fix" :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] magicwolf:
I had the same problem with GPS. I have risked and have changed orientation GPS of the antenna - GPS perfectly works. BUT now the speaker in which I hear the interlocutor doesn't work for me. At other person after the assembly has broken touch the panel. Therefore it is better not to recommend to open phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rdia:
onde consigo a rom do htc t5388+ idioma PTG ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MicAlter:
You changed the orientation of the antenna. In which way?

When I opened the phone to see if the connector is set right one cable to the speaker was dispatched (very bad soldering). I had to remove the old cable and solder another one because it was not only loose it was broken, too...grrrr...that's very bad.

But I was lucky and did't burned my phone :rolleyes:

So, I also recommend to be VERY careful when opening the phone.

BTW: It is much simplier to open the T5388++ than my ASUS P535.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] magicwolf:
In a picture it is visible as I oriented the antenna.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] serak_hd2:
Can you please identify Wifi antenna? Look in attachment:

"C" is GPS antenna.

What is "A" "B" "D" ?

"D" - I see little piece of aluminum foil, but nothing else. Under this foil is place for stylus only and above foil is contact + Vibration Motor.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] parabellum20000:
Somewhere I reed a tip not to hold the hand on the bottom of this phone during the phone call in order not to shield located there GSM antenna, so it means B is probably GSM. Are you sure C is BT and not GPS?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] serak_hd2:
You're right. "C" is 100% GPS antenna. My mistake. (I've changed it now in original post.)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cybermaus:
Well, my guess is B (at the bottom) is GSM, based on the fact it is larger (lower frequency) and seems to have two (one for the 850/900 MHz and one for 1800/1900Mhz), which leaves A and D for Blue and WiFi.

PS: Or GSM has two because it has 2 radio's? I wonder if they would share antenna or not, since it is a dual-sim dual standby, I guess the could share)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] parabellum20000:
serak_hd2 WiFi probl.

If you have opened your phone already you can easily discover which one is wifi and BT. Just put a peace of paper on one contact (blocking connection), reassemble (screws are not necessary) and try connect to BT devise (compare to previous performance(distance)) if it is gone (or big performance difference), you blocked BT if not, it was WiFi. After you know which is Wifi, just try to ensure good mechanical contact from antenna till the board (bending contactors little higher or putting allufoil (aluminum can oxidize quickly, so it is not the best solution)). Try not to touch the board, some of the components can be sensible to static discharges. If you have not opened it yet, try to consider ones more the possibility to change it by your seller for new one.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] nicolopez77:

Hello,

I JUST upgraded to MR2 from verizon on my touch pro 2. My main concern is that it does not show the missed calls on the home screen anymore. I have to go to notifications to click on missed calls to see them.

When i was looking around i saw this thread:

ww.wmexperts.com/tags/touch-pro-2

(sorry i had to take the w out of www to be able to get the link above to post)

and it shows a picture of my phone, with the MR2 upgrade WITH the missed calls showing!

What am i doing wrong? How do i get my missed calls to show back up on the screen.

as a side note, it also shows calendar items, my phone also does not show calendar items. It seems to me that my first row of quick links is up too high (that is where the missing calls and calendar show up on the picture for MR2)

They have their own .apk's and everything.

Are you 100% sure your (working) laptop is connecting to e-bay, and not a fishing site?

And the other ones, also 100% sure?

It could be your laptop and/or other computers have been compromised.

on the different machines (laptop, desktop):

Look at your windows install folder (eg. c:\windows)

then: system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (so complete path: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts )

any mention of ebay or e-bay in it?

if so you are probably compromised.

Other possibility: does any computer make use of proxy?

If so: working or not?

Is it different from your laptop?
