@CTH-EVO - I understand having a little linux background myself why you feel the way you do that you could just dd a raw image to the phone but there are a few issues with that, that I would like to clarify with you.

It's not entirely impossible. We have seen that around here many times.

However....

1. To clarify, Android is NOT general linux in the form you think of it. It's definitely HAS a beautiful open source twin sister (AOSP) but HTC's version of sense is locked down, restricted, and tight. But there are other reasons why..

2. The boot process... By default you can't mount the system directory to be writable, only readable which wouldn't make a hill a beans difference if you try to use dd. It would just produce error:unwritable.

To iterate further into this subject though, there is also the boot process and the partitions that go with that. Let me go ahead and get the boot process out of the way first:

**Generic Boot Process**

1.SelfCheck

2.Radio

3.S-on/S-off (developer mode only)

4.Recovery (if installed)

5.Rom

By default when the system boots it is directed specifically from the radio (unless s-on is installed) to the system partition, which by default the system partition locks any root needed functions out (including writablility from external sources).

One other thing of note, the phone more than welcomes ANY linux o.s. to see the internal phone storage, just that you can't write to it unless you have root.

However I also would like to inform you that there are universal root programs getting easier and easier these days to use so you don't have to download all this and that, and most phones now you don't even have to have a computer to root it.

Here's what is involved in the rooting process:

1. Exploit code to inject code for root access (done from shell of phone)

2. root files (permissions program, etc)

3. recovery flash. (flashed to it's own 'sub' partition)

Actually come to think of it you used to have to boot into recovery to root (well.. not really a recovery but the stock wiping/reset program) And you could possibly get dd to flash the system from there, but the real issue here is just not bricking the device.

The device itself is of course just one memory bank partitioned into different places. If you use dd to flash a raw image to the rom, it would wipe out EVERYTHING would it not? And not JUST the regular rom partitions? This would be sweet if you can set up an entire phone's system including bootstrap, radio, and recovery (effectively unbricking probably 3/4 the bricked phones out there right now) but if it's unsuccessful, or unfinished then would it not brick it entirely?

Hope this helps you out!

Hey.

I put this in the Developer section cause well, its got to do with development. If need be to move, mods please do, people dont flame. I really thought here should be the place.

Well, I have a n1 also, and remember when I was on 2.1 Cyanogen MOD had gif files working in the browser. I dont see why we couldnt get this done as well since it was possible on the n1. Gifs to me is a big thing and if it also is for others, Id like to think we can get it done. Now by we, I mean you devs that know what your doing. I have no clue, BUT It was possible on the n1, so why couldnt we do it on this?

Thoughts? Possible? Eugene?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
... You flashed the new radio through Amon-Ra recovery yeah?.... and it has already done one reboot?

If you can move the cursor, then yeah, go to reboot,.... But DO NOT pull the battery out to restart.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
yeah though it .. yeah i can move cursor .. one time it rebooted itself .. its been almost 15 minutes but now i rebooted it ..don't know yet .. yeah i didn't pull the battery out ..

i will give reply later it works or not. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Good good,... You'll be fine. Don't worry.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
Yeah its all good :D .. now it shows latest radio version i am quite happy with it .,. do radio cause any other problems to device ? like hardware cause ? by the way Thanks :) .. i will use this radio and will see whats the result..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
bro, one more Que .. i had installed latest recovery of Amorn ra but when i rebooted into recovery to flash radio i show older version instead of the new one .. 1.6.2a .. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
I think the radio affects signal/reception, gps, and wifi,... So if you notice any considerable deterioration with any of those you can always roll back to an older radio,... but as a general rule of thumb, keep updated to the newest available.

1.6.2a is the one included with Villain 12 if I remember correctly,... So if you updated to 1.7 but then flashed Villian 12 on top it will overwrite the recovery again. If you are sticking with Villain12 you can leave the recovery as it is, if you change ROM, update it then.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
yeah about recovery i searched on XDA Also ..So you are right it over write .. doesn't matter as long as it works .. :)

& I am seeing lots of improvements on Wifi & signal strength ..i think updating radio was the good idea :D right now i am having latest radio & my older radio was giving me signal probs ..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
OK excellent,... so your all good now. Can you please put [SOLVED] into your thread title to help keep things tidy. Thanks.

Hi last few builds ive used cant seem to find apps like paypal or norton security etc.

Ive checked all locations in settings and they seem fine and also set the market as orange UK.

Is there anything else I need to change so they show?

Currently using Beta2 of the Desire HD rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nks2105:
I had the problem with my current build (see sig).

I read somewhere that I needed to install the Eris Market Fix app from the market, which I did but it didn't fix the problem, at least immediately.

Apparently you also need to clear the cache in some occasions too. It's only after clearing the cache that it worked as normal. well at least I think that I cleared the cache, since i emptied the cache folder from within my android folder. give it a try!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Already tried the market enabler. Have just tried that market fix and also cleared cahce and rebooted but still same problem :(

Thnx for suggestions guys, any more? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Then download your desired app from your computer then transfer it to your pc I think it should work this way :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Do you mean transfer it to phone from pc?, yeah obviously that would work but thats besides the point. Im trying to get market to work properly :(

Besides I cant find what im looking for elsewhere, cant find updated versions of Paypal or Norton anywhere only links to them on market which do not work.

Thnx for suggestion though.

I am an eris user but my wife has the MotoDroid and she got the FRG22D update and wanted me to root her phone so she can use the wifi tether app. I thought it would be as simple as rooting and downloading the app but it seems not to be working right, do i need to install a rom or flash a kernal on her phone for wifi tether to work properly? Id prefer not to install a rom cause she just wants to keep it as stock as possible.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] unL33T:
So my hinges had a little play. I did some searching and found something that said to open up the device and tighten the screws. So I did. The only screws I saw to tighten were the ones that bolt the hinges to the chassis. The hinges did not have play in these screws but I tightened them a little anyway. It didn't do anything because the play is in the hinges themselves, not the screws connecting the hinges to the chassis of the phone.

Is there a way to tighten up the hinges themselves? Perhaps I missed something I could've tightened in there? The hinges are tight in that the screen doesn't flop around but when tilted there is a little bit of play back and forth before the hinges "grab".

I hope I explained that good enough. Tips?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GWelker62:
If you are talking about when the screen is slid out and tilted up, it is supposed to have some play in it. It is intentionally designed that way by HTC, they say it increases the life of the hinge.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] unL33T:
Good to know. Makes it feel like my phone is busted though. I bought it used and didn't even realize it tilted until awhile after I bought it.

Meaning, you can load ANDROID from this ROM. But you still have to find the right ANDROID (check at the subforum ANDROID Development), download it and extract the image, put it in a folder on the Root of SD Card and name it "Android". To load the ANDROID, just launch the Android loader in the ROM.

OK, so I have an issue. It'll probably take a universal solution, but since it's for a Slide I'm asking here, haha.

A few days ago, I was cooking and I had my phone out ( never doing that again D: ) and a bit of a buttery sauce splashed and got into the front speaker.

Now when I'm making calls, I can hardly hear what the other person is saying, it's so quiet. Is there something I can do about this? Maybe heat up the area and melt whatever's in there? I dunno what do since its got that little grill type deal.

:(

I hope there is something easy enough that can be done. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
Honestly, I would not heat up the phone. Especially since the phone is over 90% plastic. What I would do is simply blow out the substance with a blow dryer set on cool or blow it with my mouth if I don't have a blow dryer. My girlfriend had a similar issue, but in her case she dropped the phone and I guess dirt got into it. I simply blew into the speaker (which is located in the back). I kept doing this for about 1minute straight and it worked for me. Whatever you do, do not use heat! Also try to blow out the substance with the battery unattached to the phone and the battery cover off allowing better access. I hope I'm not too late and I hope this helps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max BrainBox:
The stock Froyo ROM is quite cumbersome when multiple APNs are used.

Apart from the MMS APN, I have two other APNs set up: one for plain internet access and the other one for intranet or company email.

Switching from one to the other involved the following steps (I have a Dutch ROM so the exact wording may be different):

1. Home screen/Menu/Settings/Wireless and networks and then switch of the current data connection

2. Select the menu item below: mobile networks/APNs and choose another APN

3. In the Wireless and networks screen, re-enable the data connection

4. Go back to the application that needed another APN and start working again

On Windows Mobile, it was easier to indicate what APN had to be used for what purpose.

Isn't there an easier way to do this?

Thanks,

Mark
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berre:
? Is this a general froyo issue? I am still on 2.1 and hesitating to upgrade, this would be a dealbreaker for me as I use the same setup...

Currently I use a bettercut shortcut directly to my apn's which works perfectly, no need to do something else besides selecting apn
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cicinho:
As the title says. Got alerted of the 2.2 update and attempted to download it. Half way through the download the phone resetting to the android boot screen and wont move. It keeps looping the boot screen and vibrating and wont go past it. You need to take out the battery for about 10 mins before it will boot again, only for it to do it again when you try to do something else.

Its not hacked or anything the phone is how it came out of the box. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have resetting the factory settings, formatted the memory card. Nothing seems to stop it. As soon as you go to update via system again it will reset to boot screen half way through and repeat the process over again.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrmylanman:
And it doesn't seem to charge pat 70%. I'll leave it on the charger until it is at 100% (not 90% like some people have issues with), and then when I take it off, within 2-3 hours I am down to anywhere from 72-68%. This isn't with heavy use, for example this morning it has been off for 2 hours, it is at 75% and I did nothing with it except read one email.

Just testing things out, I charged it while the phone was off, and it seemed to discharge slower.

Is this a common thing with these batteries or is mine somehow defective?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] smw6180:
Did you recalibrate the battery in your recovery? Charge to full, boot recovery, wipe battery stats, then let it run till it dies.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrmylanman:
I did, but I might try that again. It may not have been actually at 100% (I didn't turn it off, because I didn't know about the issue when I calibrated).
[EVO 4G Accessories] Compusmurf:
All the other threads had the answer but.....

The driver that has the stats for the 3500mah battery isn't there.

They only included the driver with stats for 1500mah.

If you want to fully charge the battery, you have to do it externally. Even with phone powered off, it may not fully do it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lovethyEVO:
+1.

The evo can't charge the seidio or any non-htc battery properly. Get an external charger and watch your battery life increase with every charge. I don't even wipe battery stats anymore.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrmylanman:
That would make sense... I might ditch it then, if I can't reliably charge it 100% because the battery door is pretty hard to remove compared to the stock one and I don't want to end up breaking it one day.

Is that something that would be in the ROM? I'm just wondering if it's worth holding out hope for someone to write a driver for it in CM6 or something.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrmylanman:
Yeah I just let it charge until it turned green, turned it off and let it charge until green again (another half hour or so), unplugged it and did it again and it is now at 89% after literally just wiping the battery stats and booting up.

Maybe I'm just being too neurotic about it. It lasts 2 days, I guess I should be happy, but with the stock battery I got 30-36 hours using CM6 and Snap, so I was hoping for more than that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] montavious:
Been having similar issues did a full wipe the last Rom I loaded and now two hours after unplugged I'm still at 100% so who knows.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lovethyEVO:
It's hard to say if it's in the rom because the evo itself will not charge any non-htc battery correctly even when it is turned off. It seems there are both hardware and software controls to ensure nothing but the evo battery gets charged correctly.

[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
The fact that this battery has been out for so long, so many people have it, and HTC knows about this flaw and hasnt done anything about it is absolutely pitiful and HTC should be ashamed of themselves.

As everyone has said, the only way to get a proper 100 charge is in an external charger. The closest way to to do it in the phone is to leave the phone charging overnight, unplug it when you wake up, and plug it in about 5 minutes later to top it off. Youll get close but it still wont be true 100.

Either way, the only way to properly charge any extended battery for the evo is in a wall charger.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Indiana Jones:
dang i should have canceled my order. Seidio's stupid cancellation policy made me not do it. "cancellations after 2 hrs incur a fee" Now im going to have a Evo with a pot belly and a empty stomach. BS
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
If you can get it charged properly youll be happy with it. You just have to work around HTC's dumbness.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrmylanman:
Yeah it seems like I guess it's mostly HTC's fault in this manner. I'm back on the stock battery for now. I might just keep the extended battery at ~60 (apparently the best way to store Lithium Ion) and when I plan on heading out for a weekend trip or something like that, I'll charge the battery up and put that in my phone.

For everyday use, having to remove the battery to charge it sucks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
What would be ideal is if HTC allowed you to key in the MAH of the battery you have installed in your phone or something along those lines to ensure the battery gets charged correctly . I know its a long stretch but hey I can dream ROFL . This charging bug has been the one major thing preventing me from getting an extended battery . I have toyed with the idea of getting a chinese one for cheap just to play around with and so forth but not to drop the cash Seidio wants for theirs . HTC needs to address the charging issue anyways , most users that use a wall charger for their stock batteries have reported improved battery life . Its sad when a cheap wall charger from china out performs charging a battery better than a 600 dollar phone is able to .
