I recently got the Touch Cruize (Polaris P3650) as a gift and ... well the default Windows Mobile on it ... disappoints.

I tried upgrading it to ver 6.1, but no real improvement there.

Does anyone know what are the steps needed to try out android on my phone? I can't exactly find any 'new-guy' friendly steps. :(

Also, if I don't like it, will I be able to move back into WinMob ?

Good luky, newbie. you find commonsense problem about Android in your first try.:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf1970:
Hi,

I'm at my wits end.

I've spent ages (most of last night and all of this morning !) looking through google and This forum, XDA developers etc etc etc and I'm no further forward

I have/had (not sure where I am at the moment.. will explain in a minute) a rooted Desire on FroYo. then my Desire started the overheating problem and randomly rebooting every 3 to 5 minutes. The only way I can keep it running long enough to do anything is to use an ice pack and chill the phone !

Anyway I tried to do a roll-back and lose root access etc and return my desire (UK Vodafone) to stock so I can send it in for a repair.

I initially used my nandroid backup to roll back to the previous version of my software, then I re did the official OTA to 2.2 and it SEEMED to work.. except I still seemed to have root access.. I certainly had the Superuser application in my applications list.

Apparently to delete superuser (or is it Superuser with capital S? I seem to have both?!) You need root (figures!) so.. ran unrevoked again, seemed to unroot again but :-

(a) try as I must i can't uninstall Superuser.apk. Tried using root manager, terminal and adb but I keep getting errors saying something about read write permissions?

(b) I have also read that I may need to restore the official Android recovery (have clockwork mod recovery at the moment) that needs to go too.

I just want to return my Desire back to store/factory.. but I can't seem to do this.

I'm feeling thick as cold mince at the moment.. Seems the process differs depending on different HBOOT versions/ device versions / root methods / day of week / alignment of the planets !!!

can anyone PLEASE help with an idiot (and boy do I mean IDIOT) proof guide to get rid of all traces of my naughtiness and back to a warranty friendly 2.2 Desire??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myshkinbob:
I think the simplest way is to use the windows-based RUU update files from shipped-roms.com as they'll replace your recovery with a stock one and unroot your phone (sends it completely back to stock vodafone).

The only vodafone UK one i see on there is..

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe

There are a couple of caveats:

1) you may need to downgrade your hboot before the RUU will sucessfully flash the phone. There's a bunch of threads in the developer forum on how to downgrade hboot, depends on your screen type, which leads to...

2) this is kind of important, is your screen SLCD or AMOLED? The vodafone uk RUU is dated mid-june, so it will almost certainly only work on AMOLED desires. If you got the phone before mid-july it's definitely AMOLED but if you're unsure there are threads about how to check (i think the easiest way is to pull up a dark screen such as the settings menu in a darkened room and see if the black areas of the screen are true black or just very dark grey like on an LCD pc monitor).

Providing your phone is AMOLED, once you've installed that RUU you can use the OTA upgrade in the about phone menu to go from 2.1 to 2.2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supriz:
please report back if you have got rid of Superuser that way because i have the same problem

i formatted my sd card and then updated OTA2.2 and for some reason i still have Superuser and i plan on returning to warranty for camera problems
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblaster:
Thats because the OTA (in contrast to a RUU) does not install a completely fresh image of the /system partition (where the root files normally are installed) but just replace/patch most of the existing files. Other files, like su will stay untouched.

You also won't be able to just remove those files as you are obviously s-on, which means even root can't write to system easily.

Some options for you are:

- find a RUU that fits your device and install it (there will be lots of instructions for flashing around) €: Watch out if you have an SLCD!!! Can't state that often enough...

- S-off your device, remove all root files from /system, flash the original recovery/splash/hboot via fastboot (this might help)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
i had the same problem, i solved it by flashing a RUU then rerooted. i am fine now:)

unrooting the original stock rom

Hi guys, I have a similar problem. I rooted my desire with unrevocked 3.21 and everything was fine.

BUT I havent flashed any new rom, I still have the original rom, I was only interested in rooting.

Now I need to sell my phone so I want to restore factory settings.

Can I do it with just doing a "factory reset" or I need to flash using the RUU....exe?

thanks for your support!

If I saved all my Android files on my computer from a previous build, can I somehow get the contacts out of them files ? perhaps there's a file that contains all contacts ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
log into your gmail and extract them that way
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] moav:
That's the weird part, for some reason the number I'm looking for wasn't logged by Gmail, and that's why with the current build I didn't have his number imported as the rest.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] itsme_4ucz:
The contacts are stored in a SQLite3 database file so the file format is ".db"

The development tool Android Debug Bridge (ADB) can be used to extract the file from an EMULATOR

ADB can also extract the file from a phone but it must be rooted first AND the ADB drivers must be installed on your machibe as well

(Rooting is NOT for beginners though)

The contacts.db file is stored in the protected system memory, the file path is:

data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] moav:
If I understood correctly this file should be in the SD card, but I cannot find one, nor the directory /com.android.providers.contacts/ .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Your phone doesnt think its on the sdcard. It thinks its on the phone itself.

For my adb uses I use a program called android commander. It will allow you to navigate to that file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] itsme_4ucz:
Try using root explorer app, it will get you there...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] moav:
My issue is not with the contacts on my working phone system, but on the files I copied before I've change to a new build. I thought there may be a chance it's on one of those files, but it sound much complicated then that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 4tune:
If you don't want to try itsme_4ucz's solution, why not copy the files back to your phone and sync again with Gmail?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] moav:
Because for some reason the build didn't load, that was the reason why I switched builds in the first place.

I don't want to root my phone for that, I'm pretty noob
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
I could be wrong, but...

Wouldn't that file be in the data.img file system image? If so, you can mount that file in Linux, or most likely Windows, then browse to the location mentioned above.

That'll at least get you there, but you still have to get the data out. Perhaps copy that one to the phone's current file system. If not, I'm sure someone will come up with something if the above posts don't work.

hi,

i have been thinking if there is an app available where the phone always uses 3g when available, however, when the phone is in sleep mode, it will switch to only use 2g(edge).

because honestly i do not need 3g unless i am browsing the net, so even if an app can just make the phone use 3g when browser is launched, then this will dramatically improve battery life
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uoY_redruM:
That's how (most) phones work. If you look at your symbol up top, you'll see when you click on your browser the symbol switches and when you close your browser, within a few seconds it switches back.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it only uses network when needed. Its not like iPhones.

Instructions:

- Extract the Android folder (with all files in in) to root of your SD Card. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

- After copying everything to your SD Card ensure you have at least 1200 Mb free space for data store.

- Go into Android folder(using your phone) and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET.

- On first run when there is “Creating a new datastore” just give it time to complete, and on first boot be patient and give it time to load everything.

Note the .50 in it. You need to first flash hard spl using this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W4LLY:
Hey guys,

You all are true genius', so I will ask you all for your help/opinion.

I don't have insurance on my Incredible, because I bought it second hand, and replaced my Eris with it. Verizon won't insure the phone because it wasn't brought through them. However, If i can prove that the phone is defective on it's own accord, ie via software, maybe they will swap it.

**Mod Edit - Warranty Fraud Comments Removed** That way when I show it to them, they would have to default swap it. They would probably try and do a factory reset, but that would keep the same rooted rom, right? Not sure how that works.

Maybe i'm just being silly, and can just pay for what ever the repair is...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard666:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryspoon:
lol. Yah Verizon could care less if the phone is defective if it has a giant cracked screen. Obviously they would think that the damage to the phone affect the internals of it or something along those lines.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeckert:
Not sure how you'll get a kid, who involuntarily bumped into you (at a party I'm assuming if the guy was drunk) to pay for your phone, but good luck tracking him down now. Also, probably not a great idea to have your phone sitting on your lap at a place with hard flooring while people are drunk. Put the phone in your pocket or keep it held in your hand.

I lol'd that you broke your phone trying to show up some iPhone users.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csseale:
Not true. If you pay for insurance thru Verizon it absolutely covers physical damage, lost, etc. Manufactured warranty would only cover if the damage was because of some defect.

1. Rooting your device voids ANY warranty.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W4LLY:
1.) I wasn't trying to, I -did- show up my friends iPhone 4. 3g speed test using opera...not even close.

2.) I had the Verizon case, but it obviously didn't offer the best frontal support.

3.) Violence doesn't solve anything, and it was a random person I don't even know. He didnt purposely knock into me..he was just a drunk idiot. My grip could have been better/been paying attention to it more.

4.) Thank you all for the various replies/solutions.

If HTC replaces the screen for 120$, I'm really ok with that. Apple charges 199$ for an iPhone 4 screen.

I understand how warrantee's work, I fix iPhones all day. I know that accidental/physical damage is not covered under a typical warranty, but Verizon's Insurance policy (7$ a month, with an 80$ deductable) is normally great because it will replace your phone NO MATTER WHAT, that involves falling off a cliff, cracked screen, ect.

The problem is that since i got my Incredible second hand, and not though VZ, they wouldn't transfer my insurance to the new phone. So, I can go back to using my Eris..but I really am in love with my Incredible.

5.) I know rooting voids warranty. If it was a stock root, though, the VZ rep probably wouldn't get it, was my original point. Regardless, if you do a factory reset, or unroot your device, your warranty is no longer voided, no?

Lets just face it the screen is broken and thus it's no longer covered by insurance.

Just order a new screen and install it your self or have HTC install it for you. The latter would be more expensive then just doing it your self.
