[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClassicalGas:
Yeah I know I can get there from Clockworkmod, but the rom needs to be working. I'm worried about flashing anything else in case one of the roms is broken.

I've read that unrevoked rooted phones can do it, can I use the unrevoked method even though I'm already rooted with Paul's riskfree?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcell-o:
If you turn on your phone while pressing the "Back"button on the right of the (OJ)optical joystick, your phone boots in "Fastboot"

Then you select "Bootloader" by pressing the powerbutton

If one of your vol buttons still works, you can press it untill you've selected recovery

Et Voila
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClassicalGas:
I can get to the recovery screen, black phone with red exclamation mark in triangle. It is at this screen I need the vol(+) button. Hmmm...not too confident about flashing roms anymore
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a recovery image onto your phone.

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
From terminal

su

reboot recovery

Also works
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClassicalGas:
Where to from here?

I have been reading up on fastboot, in which I should be able to restore a nandroid backup if flashing a rom fails. This doesn't need the recovery console, there is some contingency I guess.

Has anyone used unrevoked on a prerooted device? are the steps the same?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
For instructions for flashing a permanent recovery image (UnrEVOked) are pretty straightforward. Please see the following link for more information:

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146

Just make sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled beforehand. To remove UnrEVOked, simply flash your original RUU file, which will also return you to stock and remove root.
[HD2 General] The GrCornholio:
I found on eBay a listing from a fellow selling a 2GB MicroSD Card with GPS maps of the US and Android. The listing title is: "My micro sim sard to run GPS and ANDROID on HTC HD2".

My question is: does anyone think this is legit?

I am unsure how anyone could squeeze the entire US on a 2GB card as well as a functioning Android port for the HD2.

Is this guy selling snake-oil or is it just a copy of what's already available here at XDA?

Thanks for your looking into this. For $19 I am a bit skeptical.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
i would think its possible, android install is a couple hundred megs and i think the map DB for a program like gamin mobile xt only uses about a gig. who knows what mapping software they are using, i just used garmin as an example
[HD2 General] naijaguy:
very possible. i have papago x5 and android on my 2gb micro sdhc. plus mp3s etc....
[HD2 General] calc:
Not quite sure what you're getting at here.... but if you're thinking about buying that 2 GB microSD card it's hardly worth "$20" used. Closer to $1. Android builds are freely available here and i'm more than certain the GPS software and maps being offered were not legally acquired. If you're looking for some GPS maps and mapping software........ :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;) ;) ;)
[HD2 General] naijaguy:
true that reagarding the price. It is possible to fit android and most gps software on a 2gb mc but I'll advise you ++ some money and get a bigger storage. better to have it and not need than to need it and not have it....just my 5 cent ;)
[HD2 General] calc:
for 30 bucks USD you can get a 16GB class 4.....

android is already free and if what you're really interested in is gps software legal copies are going to cost you a lot more than 20 bucks. ebay link maybe?
[HD2 General] The GrCornholio:
I am aware of the SD Card costs, I was not shopping for an SD Card. I was only wondering if this android he's selling is something that has been de-bugged further than what is offered here since my understanding is that it is still not 100% reliable. If I am wrong on this then please enlighten me as to which android build/hack will work best on a TMOUS HD2 and a Telstra HD2.

As for the GPS, he is stating on his ebay ad that the SD has all of the US maps on it thereby eliminating the need for a data plan to show maps. Whether it's pirated or not, I have no idea since I am not a GPS expert or know even if putting all those maps on a 2GB SD is even possible. I guess spending the $19.99 will be the only way to answer that.
[HD2 General] calc:
Well as i have already suspected you are going to get ripped off 100%.

As i've already said android comes free of charge here on XDA and you can get it yourself over in the android forum. It's still not 100%. If you wanted a 100% working android you should of gotten a android phone to begin with. That's the hard truth unfortunately.

As far as the mapping software goes more than likely it will be an illegal copy for the asking price. If you're looking for GPS software "iGO Primo" is probably hands down one of the best software out there and most of what you'll find is here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692181

It won't tell you how to get it... because well.. its pirated... but there plenty of hints within the thread as to where you can acquire all the files you need. Or just PM somebody in that thread ;) ;) ;)
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I think this is what the guys doing....

1. selling you the android already in the card (obvious). Which he probably got on XDA.

2. He not including any maps to any GPS. What he really means is that the Android build has working GPS. So, you can use google maps which is the already built in as a GPS mapping system.

I'm just saying. If I were a con, I'd word it like his ad. Cuz it makes you believe you're getting some sort of paid GPS software.

Edit: You mind posting the ebay ad on here so we can see what he's posting in the add. Wording is key! Oh, I promise not to buy or outbid you.

is it possible to open a device specific forum? there are so many people in here using gt540...
[Android Software Development] ChipsNbytes:
well, im a programmer, but not an android programmer, at lease for now ;)

i bought 2 days ago my first android phone, lg gt540.. im loving this, i was a fan of windows mobile, and i still am (waiting for wp7). But now im loving this OS, so im going to invest some time into this OS and start learning about this, so i can program on this.. maybe someone who knows about this could point me some directions.. but for now im only using the developer site from android for directions.. i hope some experts could come here to point some directions

im waiting for 2.1 rom update so as you all are, but for now i will try to understand the basis of 1.6 source code and structure..

and please, make the LG GT540 a new phone for this website in the main page.. to all who have the LG GT540 PLEASE VOTE in the poll for this phone to be added.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fuzzysig:
i ve watched the froyostone thread get raped by these one liner replies its almost 300 pages and about 80% of it is " great build thanks!!!!!"

its kinda getting out of hand

and makes it very hard to find anything there or even follow the progress.

if cooks can please make a pool for their build threads

giving options like:

1works great no problems

2wifi doesnt work

3mms doesnt work

4standby freezes

5lagging

etc...

and enable multiple selection

that way we can eliminate many of the useless replies and actually see the progress of what works and what doesnt.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] v-b-n:
Good idea but the problem is that we do not have a single base that we can compare off the features....

(1) Many WM builds out there with Android compatibility which affects Radio big time

(2) Many Linux kernels and builds also out there

(3) Many Radios and very subjective in use...some works for some and some dont

and so on....

This would be really helpful once we have Android working off NAND....
[Desire General] aidanbree:
I have noticed that I am getting shorter than expected battery life lately. I installed PowerTutor and it is telling me that messaging seems to be consuming lots of power.

Is there any configuration that could be causing this?
[Desire General] A|ex:
Do you have anything running in the background that is using data all the time? I have one program called Aura, even though the system says its not using that many resources it totally drains my battery as it runs in the background.
[Desire General] th3:
Under app statistics, tap "OLED" so it becomes dim and then look at the app usages again. I doubt Messaging will be one of them.

-----------------------------------

[Desire General] aidanbree:
TH3 - Quite correct! my mistake

Must be something else ;)
[Desire General] th3:
Actually you were correct in a way as you were just reporting what it was telling you :)

It just means you used Messaging a lot compared to anything else whilst the screen was on. So Messaging had the highest screen-time.

The 'OLED' tab lists the applications which had the highest screen time. Not quite power, but the screen takes most (+70%) of the phone power, so whatever takes a lot of the screen time gets listed under OLED. It can confuse matters understandably so it is best to uncheck it and then see what is being shown. If you tap any app being shown under any heading, it'll then take you to another screen which will show you the components taking power by that application, real-time.

[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Trying to use Wifi Tether (google) app in rooted Vibrant (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=NexusOne)

Everything setup correct and works good on the phone itself. Laptop shows the connection as 'computer-to-computer' network rather than 'wireless network'. Although signal strengh is very good laptop just says "waiting for network..." and never connects. How to change Wifi Tether setting to show as 'wireless network' instead of 'computer-to-computer' network so that it will connect?
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
You should load the mobile AP patch instead. Works much better than the wifi tether app on the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] iflyabeech:
yes. mobileap is like 100 times better!
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
+1 for mobile ap flash.

I ran wireless tether app forever on my G1 and like this much better.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
thanks for replying guys..i went to the mobile AP flash thread and read that you have to do clockwork recovery to flash it. I think when froyo update happens its gonna disable mobile AP flash?? I see people saying (and even Youtube videos) of using Wifi tether and Barnacle wifi legacy to tether from Vibrant. I tried both of them and they show as 'compter-to-computer' network on laptop and it wont connect.:(
[Vibrant General] lrobles787:
You should delete everything & start from the beginning. If that doesn't work then try it on someone else laptop to see if that's the problem if not is your phone. Maybe is a problem the way u rooted your phone. If it continues doing it on the other laptop u are testing it. Most deff is your phone.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
Froyo has wireless AP built in by default. We have yet to know if T-mobile will disable it. If they do, someone will just hack it back in.
[Vibrant General] shootr:
Interesting. I prefer wireless tether. I think it works much better than the MobileAP.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
So this turns out to be an issue with my laptop. Laptop is not able to connect to ad-hoc (computer to computer) wifi networks. Both wifi tethering app and Barnacle worked on a friends laptop. Got around 2 Mbps from T-mobile 3G.
[Vibrant General] shootr:
I did have to update the driver for the wireless chip on one laptop to support ad-hoc networks, but it was worth it. If you're interested, check your wireless chip manufacturer's site for a newer driver.

The TMO sales-droids told me that the froyo update would enable the wireless hotspot (MobileAP), but who knows till we actually get it. Even if it does, if it works like the MobileAP does now, I'll continue using wireless-tether.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
MobileAP didn't work for me. Win7 showed no internet activity.

Wireless Tether on the other hand worked perfectly, so YMMV.
[Vibrant General] acidblade1:
Does anyone has a problem while using mobile AP while the connection is steady but after the screen dims or locks up the speed slows down and sometimes cut off the tether to the device? would there be anyway around this?
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
That did the trick! Thanks mate:o
[Vibrant General] jdsilva5646:
I have a question about tethering I'm trying to use the wifi for my gaming console (ps3). It doesn't recongize the ip address. So will it recongize it when the update comes or will it not work for gaming consoles.
[Vibrant General] dyuhas1:
maybe a dumb question but i rooted girl's vibrant and flashed mobileAP which worked great the first day. i couldnt get barnacle or google's wireless tether to actually connect to anything. But now she's trying to use it today and it won't connect due to DNS issues. Would it be the phone at fault or the laptop? I already tried refreshing the IP using command prompt but it didn't help.

I am trying to learn the basics in the shortest amount of time and I thought I shall start here. What is a bootloader? and how do you go about getting a cracked one? That will enable custom kernel if I am not mistaken right?
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Wikipedia explains better than I do but the short version is that the bootloader is the first thing the phone itself starts when you power it on. After it's loaded it checks the internal storage on the phone and if it finds an OS it boots it.

There are some checks built in to the loader to make sure that the OS is the one Sony supplies, if those checks fail it won't boot. We need to find those checks and disable them before we can use custom ROMs.
[XPERIA X10 General] Yourmama:
Hmm how is this going in the means of x10i how far are they now in getting cracked bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
It's impossible to say exactly how close they are, it could take anywhere from a few more days to several months. But they are working on it and it seemed to be going well last time I checked. Although there hasn't been a lot of progress reports lately so they're either stuck or they're working really hard. :)

I'm thinking of buying a streak direct from dell to use with my 3uk sim

Looking on their website exactly what's included with the basic model as usb cable and chArger show as separate purchases

I never attach my desire to my pc so my question is does it come with a normal charger surely it does ?

Also notice that 2.1 isn't for direct purchases only o2 customers any idea when it will be released presume its delayed cos the 2.1 has screwed up most o2 customers phones - I'm hoping dell are delaying for 2.2 release

Just another question has anyone found a holder which u can clip to ur belt to carry the phone ? And has anyone bought the car kit does it rattle or is it sturdy ?

i bought it directly from DELL UK. IN the box were

Dell Streak

Wall Adapter with USB on 1 end.

USB Cable to Connect the Streak to PC or Wall Charger

Headset

Sleeve to hold the streak in. Nylon i believe

As for the Case question PDAIr has got some cases that you can use or you can search ebay for easycase or something. Look in the accessories forum there are links for it.
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
^^ everything above but don't forget either a 16GB Micro SD card or pay extra for a 32GB Micro SD card.

I would recommend easecase off ebay where you can get a custom made leather case for £25 (though you'll have to wait about a month for it) but you can choose the orientation, have exposed or hidden magnets or buttons to secure the lap, whether it has a belt clip, pocket or a belt loop, the colour and type of leather on the outside and the colour and fabric on the inside, have your name or whatever embosed on to the front of the case and if need be, to increase the size of the case for a looser fit.

There are plenty of universal phone holders that will hold the phone one way or another (I'm currently using a clingo sticky pad holder thing) but I've read that the official car holder wobbles a lot due to the flexible arm and the weight of the phone. Tho it's worth noting that for a 12v to USB adaptor, the adaptor needs to output 1000mA and have the 2 middle pins shorted in order for the adaptor to charge the Dell. Some will already have the 2 pins shorted but a lot of them don't.

I find connecting to audio devices is fine (mine auto connects to my car stereo whenever I get in and start the car) but I have had a couple of issues transfering items via bluetooth to other devices. Android doesn't seem to allow file transfer by default but you can download bluetooth file transfer off the market for free and it works most of the time, but sometimes it just doesn't want to play. Also, transfering items eats up battery big time!
