[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] launton:
Hi everyone

I've spent forever reading the forum and have a few questions and hopefully you'll have a quick answer for me.

Excuse my noobness (shouldn't be too bad, I've learned a lot in the last 5 hours!)

I've rooted my desire with unrevoked (it's worked fine)

This is a simlocked (soon to be unlocked first before flash?) handset from 3UK

Installed rom manager pro and backed up everything

All I want to do is install a stock/vanilla froyo 2.2 with sense etc. I don't care if it closes the root and I think I want it to automatically upgrade everything including the radio so I basically end up with a standard unbranded handset. No need for further rooting.

I'll be using rom manager to install the rom. I did notice in this thread:

(stock rom thread) Not allowed to post url's

The stock roms listed, although at the top there are two listed? 122704 & 126984 and they are exe files. Should they be zip files if installed via rom manager? A direct link to the correct rom would be excellent

Sorry for asking, I'm sure you lot get upset by stupid questions, but this is the furthest I can travel without asking.

Thank you

J
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
Exe files can be used to update the Rom from your pc with USB cable. Please make sure to use the gold card when doing any updates to make sure it works properly after the update.

As for unlocking, you can unlock before or after changing the Rom. Just remember to keep the unlock code just in case. You may need to enter the unlock code twice in a row, this is normal.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] launton:
Thanks. I didn't think I'd need a goldcard if I was already rooted and had rom manager? Install from SD?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
Why would you want to install a RUU and lose root? There are plenty of good ROMs that are based on official HTC 2.2. Some are almost stock with very few modifications. Download, flash via recovery and you're done.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
even if your rooted a branded device needs a goldcard to flash a generic ruu. just for your info, a vanilla rom dosent include sence, its called vanilla because its plain like the ice cream flavour, this means its a basic aosp rom with none of the htc apps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
A gold card is a must if you had a branded phone (most likely if your phone was bought on a network and locked to a network too). Many users have had problems with WiFi if they update without a gold card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] launton:
Ok thanks, so the best thing is to make a gold card and update to stock froyo by usb using exe file with gold card inserted?

I really don't need to keep the phone rooted for future use. All I want is the latest software really, that's all. Thanks for the quick replies by the way guys. Of course if there is a slightly modified rom that I can install without a gold card I'll go for that, as long as it has sense (I like it)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
you can install any custom rom without needing a goldcard! rather than using rom manager though, i suggest you use the unrevoked recovery flasher to flash the clockworkmod recovery, then its as simple as copying the rom.zip to your sd card and holding vol down and power
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
I just use the standard ROM on my Desire, never thought about routing as I am happy with the standard ROM with HTC Sense.

Here's a very basic run down of how I unbranded my desire. Please please please read through the guides on the developers forum and make sure you understand the process. It's simple but can damage your phone if you don't follow the instructions carefully.

1. Buy an unlock code (i use the phone on more than one network and it is a good idea to have an unlock code as some roms may lock your phone).

2. Create a gold card. There is a tool to do this which makes it easy to do, search the developers and q and a forums for this.

3. Download a RUU file to your pc. These are exe files that can run from your pc to update the phones ROM.

Please

I need XXJPH

without csc

to keep my 850mhz

If anyone can do for us?

From already thank you very much

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
*#*#4636#*#* click phone info, click menu button and select select radio band and finally select usa band (that will enable 850 and 1900 for both edge and 3g) or automatic.

Worked fine for me but eventually a CSC file will come out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] criskelo:
It does not work for me only works 1900MHz

and if I put another csc

gives me error:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
May want to go back to 2.1 until a proper 2.2 build comes out with the proper CSC then if you are in a predominately 850 coverage area.

I am sure once the leaks start coming out for different regions we will get them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
I had the same problem on the i9000T.

The 850Mhz got disabled with JPH.

I flashed back to an official 2.1, updated CSC and got 850Mhz back.

Then flashed JPH back and retained 850Mhz.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jouten:
Where did you get your ROM at that gave you back the 850mhz? Can you post up the ROM so we can use it? My original i9000T ROM backup got messed up somehow.

I accidentally made another backup right after I had already made one. Does anyone know how to delete it? I tried searching but there are so many threads regarding nandroid. Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeren:
you can delete it with a file browser like Astro or plug your phone into the computer and browse the sd card that way. If you used Ra's recovery, it's under a folder called nandroid, and if you used clockwork, it might be under a folder called backup, and then under nandroid, or something like that. the files will be ~200mb each and be named after the date and military time you ran the backup- e.g. "BCDS-20100906-1707" or "2010-08-23-10.51.12"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
RA Amon backups are on your card in /sdcard/nandroid/

Inside that folder should be a folder with a coded name (serial number?), and inside that folder, there should be more folders..each of those is a nandroid backup

Clockwork nand backups are on the card in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

and inside that folder, there should be more folders..each of those is a nandroid backup

long story short

rooted x10.. uninstalled moxier mail

phone malfunctioned, recieved another one via mail

have to send back my old phone (which im assuming shouldnt have been rooted)

so I need to reinstall moxier mail and unroot the phone before I send it back

I already tried to backup moxier mail via titanium backup, but it wont let me restore on my old rooted phone??! wtf

can anyone help me please... very urgent

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Why don't you just use SE Update Service to repair the phone.. that should bring it back to its original condition right?
[XPERIA X10 General] un1bomber:
did the trick! awesome thx man
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
But why couldnt you do that in the first place... you don't really need a new phone lol
[XPERIA X10 General] un1bomber:
no ive done that before, my problem is that my phone hangs all the time and freezes when people call me unenabling me to answer calls, my call log always freezes and so does my contact list

I tried pretty much everything and the problem is always there, I just needed to figure out how to get moxier back on so that I won't get in **** with rogers :)

the phone they send you via replacement is a refurb anyway, so if I had a choice I would def not send it back in
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
I apologize for this thread as it might not be in the correct area, but i figured most people log into the dev section so this might get answered quicker...

I have 2 questions so lets start with the first:

1) For some reason I'm not getting HSPDA network working on my phone. the best speed I've posted is about 3.2Mbs, which is not HSPDA speeds, or at least not as fast as it should be. It also says that i'm on 3G as opposed to H...is there a reason for this. Keep in mind I live in LA and they have one of the strongest networks for HSPDA (at least according to the rep I talked to).

2) Is it possible for us to get HSPDA+ speeds with a radio update. I don't know too much about the radio but it would seem to me like that is what it would take to get the HSPDA+ working as I'm assuming that it is the radio that determins your speed and not the hardware...though I could be wrong.

Just a thought, and a response would be awesome.

Thanks in advance guys and gals!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
where would you like me to post this then...not sure where to post...general q&a?

EDIT: Now posted in gernal Q&A....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarpanel:
settings > about phone > status

what does it say the mobile network type is? the status bar will still display '3G' if you're on HSDPA unless you're on froyo or a custom rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
If you go to menu settings, about phone, status, it will tell you if you are connected to hsdpa... But it won't show up in the status bar...

The more ppl on the network the slower the speeds will be... I can connect to an hspa tower about 30 mins away but I don't get the speeds... my phone is actually slower now with the new tower...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
it says HSDPA but it doesn't feel like that, i figgured it would just fly, but it's not as fast as I thought it should be. Also the speed test is only giving me like 3.2Mbs as opposed to my friend with with the behold II who is getting like 5...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
Also, anyone got any info on the second question by chance?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarpanel:
i haven't done enough research on the vibrant's HSPA+ capabilities to answer :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
it would seem to me that the radio would do it...i mean that is what the radio is, it tells your phone what signal to use...right...can any devs help us out?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amigoingcrazzy:
1)That is HSDPA. Normal 3G is UMTS 384kbps, HSDPA 3.5G Theoretical Maximum of 7.2 (also available in 3.5, 7.2, 14.4, etc) getting down 3.2mbps is considered very quick, connection really tops out at a max of ~5mbps, but would require you to be near a tower with a fast backhaul, and not many other people on the network at the same time. Also keep in mind speedtests are not completely accurate as they have cached data they are sending to you.

2) There is no such thing as HSDPA+, there is HSDPA in a bunch of flavors, and HSPA+. and no, our radio does not support HSPA+ 20mbps. but in field tests it was only marginally faster than HSDPA 7.2mbps anyway. the radio is a piece of hardware, there is firmware they can tweak to try and get more potential out of it, but its just more of the potential of the hardware, not extra speed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
thanks for the info, glad to know that I am at normal speeds.

Also thanks for answering on if we were able to get HSPA+ on our phones!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
I believe the vibrant can get speeds up to 7.2 down. Personally, I get ~5-6mbps at my house (Seattle, WA) and the most I've hit is ~6.5.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene373:
If you flashed the Update, your not going to get a Speed increase.

After Testing & Testing me & barak both don't get over 3.5MB & with the Old Modem.bin we both get over 6MB downloads..

Another thing we noticed with the new Modem.bin is it never switches to the H network, just stays on 3G / E..

With the old Modem.bin H / 3G /E Connects
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizzxx7:
so the leaked update actually downgraded the phone's ability for better speeds? wtf
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amigoingcrazzy:
3.5 mbps is on the H network. the normal 3g network would be 0.3mbps....

However I'm not disputing that the H network could have been crippled/slower after a modem update. You are still on HDSPA, just something has been messed up about it and its only half as fast as normal for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizzxx7:
I'm on hsdpa and I'm only getting .3mbps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
My phone shows that I'm on UMTS and I'm getting 5mbps dl speeds. Occasionally I'll be on HSDPA but the speeds stay about the same.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amigoingcrazzy:
UMTS is 3G, HSDPA is an improvement to the UMTS protocol.

So yes, all HSDPA/HSPA is UMTS, not all UMTS is of the HSDPA/HSPA.

UMTS (vanilla) 384 kbps

UMTS (HSDPA 1.8/3.5/7.2/14.4) 1.8/3.5/7.2/14.4mbps

UMTS (HSUPA) up to 5.76mbps Enhanced uplink portions of the data connection

UMTS (HSPA+) up to 56 Mbit/s on the downlink and 22 Mbit/s on the uplink

Theoretical Maximums, you can get UP TO that number, anywhere between 0 and that number is what reality is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gehzumteufel:
Sounds like an obvious problem, but not sure what that could be. Also, 3.5MB is not the same as 3.5Mb. 3.5MB/s = 28megabits. 3.5Mb/s = .43MB/s. :)

While I am mostly a fan of your answer (it is pretty much spot on), I do have to make you aware of the acronyms and their meanings.

HSDPA = High Speed Downlink Packet Access

HSUPA = High Speed Uplink Packet Access

HSPA = High Speed Packet Access (this implies that the network uses BOTH HSUPA and HSDPA)

HSDPA+, HSPA+ = Evolved HS(D)PA

Just FYI. :)

Hey guys

So here is the deal. Cellular South has just released a CDMA version on the Desire. I plan on picking one up very soon. Until then I am trying to find out if any devs would help me port a desire rom for use on a my network. Please contact me through pm or this thread as I will frequent it. I have no prior knowledge of porting roms for use on different devices. I am assuming I will be able to root the same way I did with my Hero as they are probably similar in that aspect. I would love to be active in this process and hopefully learn something that I can take to the next level and give back to this great community that I have had the please of being a member of for the past year.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Those are HSPDA speeds. HSPDA+ should net you faster speeds (in theory). My g1 started hitting those speeds around 6 months ago when they started the upgrade over in Irvine (where I work). From what I know the upgrade was software based in areas that were already HSPDA which means they must have recently flipped the switch in your area. I may have benefited by being so close to the goog's Irvine office. I live in south LA county and they haven't rolled out HSPDA+ service there yet. Still slow 1.5Mb's
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbt1985:
intersesting, so it is a switch, so therefore on a vibrant getting HSDPA is possible with an updated radio...?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Based on what I've read HSPDA has a theoretical limit of 3.5Mb's whereas HSPDA+ should deliver 7Mb speeds. So yes it's possible to get HSPDA speeds on the vibrant but not because of an updated radio, as the hardware and software supported HSPDA right out of the box. The new G2 is touting so called 4G speeds but it's technically just HSPDA+. Either way you slice it, once their entire network is upgraded most people should be seeing speeds in the high 2, low 3Mb's.

Hi

First off all I want to say: I can probably find everything here in the forum but I'll spend hours and hours reading and most off the time I'll read useless info that I don't need so if you have the knowledge and it just takes 5 minutes to share it please help me out I'll be thankful.

I myself have a HTC legend and have read LOTS off posts before finally rooting and flashing custom roms. Now my dad has asked me if I could help him to get android on his HD2.

He needs to be able to sync his agenda with outlook (for work (Calendar and contacts) I read something about HTC sync should be working on newer kernels is it included in some builds then?), and have a stable build (its not a ROM if I'm correct?) one that he could use for daily use. Don't need anything too special (not even root but its not a problem if it does have root access)

So I've started reading around in the development section and from what I read I don't need to root or flash anything, just extract a zip to the SD and name it Android. Is that correct? (then why do you have special android roms?)

So is there someone who can link me to a good stable (no OC kernels and stuff please) Android Build and tell me if there are known bugs with HD2 builds that don't get mentioned in those threats because they are known as general knowledge.

Thanks in advance

If I could ever help you back with HTC legend problem or something I'll gladly do it for you.
