Amon_RA just sent word — KaKaRoTo’s PSFreedom is now available through recovery mode on your HTC Android-enabled phone. What’s that mean? It means no more flashing kernels leaving WiFi and whatever other functions inoperable. Not to mention it’s way less tedious than backing up, flashing, and restoring all the time. Three separate recovery images have been released:

HTC N1 by Amon_RA

Features everything from RA Recovery v1.7.0.1 including ABD & mass storage.

HTC Dream / Sapphire 32B by Amon_RA

Features everything from RA Recovery v1.7.0.1 including ABD & mass storage.

HTC Desire by Klutsh

Features everything from ClockworkMod v2.5.0.9 including ABD & mass storage.

It’s simple: Flash the new recovery, boot to recovery mode, select the new PSFreedom menu option and select a payload to use. Each recovery image comes with these 4 payloads:

Homebrew only: No Blu-Ray Disc (BD) emulation, meaning no backup support.

Homebrew only with peek/poke: Again, no BD emulation, but adds peek & poke sys calls for certain homebrew. Peek/poke was introduced in PSGroove a couple weeks back.

Homebrew + BD Emulation: As the name suggests, this version enables homebrew and backup support.

Homebrew + BD Emulation with peek/poke: Put two and two together.

Amon_RA’s recovery also comes with a “test only shellcode” payload that is used for debugging purposes. Regular end-users will likely never use it. Then all that’s left is attaching your phone to your PS3 and following the jail break steps:

Kill main PS3 power source

Reconnect main power

Press power button immediately followed by eject.

If you know what you’re doing, then go ahead and download the appropriate recovery image and flash it. Otherwise you can follow Amon_RA’s instructions here. Just like a cat — there are multiple ways to flash a recovery image.

Update: You may need to re-download the N1 or Dream version if you’re experiencing BD emulation issues. Both downloads have been updated to v1.1.1.

Download:

PSFreedom Recovery for N1

PSFreedom Recovery for Dream / Sapphire 32B

[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
We can only hope. I am anxiously awaiting.
[G1 Android Development] bigd5783:
Its not going to happen. Amon-Ra actually pulled this due to not wanting to get targeted by Sony. The actual rom may continue with updated payloads but I dont know how this will get updated. I searched for the source to this but cant find it anywhere. I wanted to replace the Hermes V1 payload with the Hermes V3 payload and recompile but have no idea where to start. I looked for a good write up on how to build your own recovery image but I think this may be a little above my programming scope. Im going to dive in anyway if I can find source or if I can figure out a way to decompile the img I already have and inject the V3 payload. If I can get it working I will release but dont get your hopes up. I really hope Amon-Ra changes his mind but Sony is out for blood.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
All good I got the controller stuff working on v1 payload.

If you are running stock Froyo then use this guide

If you are not running stock and are using a Custom ROM then you don't update with the official update. Instead update your ROM when the developer releases an update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mntbkr:
Your probably going to get flamed because you are trying to ask a question but don't make it clear what it is, also someone is going to come in here and tell you you are in the wrong forum that you should have asked in the Q&A forum. With that said, I think you are trying to determine what to do.

Select a rom based on the update odex/de-odex is up to you, choose your poison.

Download the rom, and new radio, there is a great wrightup on geekfor.me on how to flash radios. Once you have DL both things put them on the root of your SD and boot into recovery. In recovery, do a full wipe, factory data, cache, davlik. flash the rom, and them flash the radio. reboot! congratulations you have the latest firmware and radio, Good Luck.

BTW: this is what Im running http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-evo-3301/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelive:
Break the habit now before it even starts...if you are properly rooted do not do OTA updates. OTA updates (and any variations of same) essentially break your root...why take risk.

Agree with mntbkr ...take your time and READ and learn the steps, explore your custom recovery, including wipes, nand backup, etc. before you jump. Then pick out a Rooted Rom of your choice...

I've tried flashing the different versions of the RFG33 update without success.

The problem seems to be that since I have two bad blocks in my boot partition the boot.img doesn't fit.

It seems that the newer HBOOT 0.35.0017 has increased the boot partition size so that might solve my problem.

So my question is what's the best way to update to HBOOT 0.35.0017?

Obviously I want to be able to root and flash custom ROMs, the HBOOT upgrade is just a solution to my bad blocks problem.

From what I've read there seems to be 3 PASSIMG.zip's with the new HBOOT. Vodafone FRF91, KT FRF91 and the WWE FRG33. Which one should I choose?

Is it possible to only flash the new HBOOT? It doesn't seem like it...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Use Korean FRF91, since it's rootable easier than FRG33 (Universal Androot works on KT FRF91 but doesn't work on FRG33, and rooting FRG33 is manual and harder).

I have tried several different 2.2 builds on my (AT&T) HTC Pure. Most of what is supposed to work does, and it's fun to play with. However, what's really holding me back is an inability to download anything from the Android Maket. I can sign-in and browse just fine, but when I "Install" something and go to the downloads tab, all I find are apps that say "Starting Download" with a perpetually cycling progress bar. I've let it run for 15 minutes and never got anything to actually download. I do not have a data-plan, so I use wifi. I have verified that wifi works.

I have also noticed that I cannot sign into gTalk. I've seen several posts suggesting that once you sign into gTalk, that I'd be able to download apps (and vice-versa), but so far, neither of these applications/features is working for me.

The latest install I've tried is XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z and it still has this problem.

Has anybody else gotten around this problem and have some advice???

I tried using my phone to create a new google account, and that worked, but I still couldn't download. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loadstone007:
Happened to me as well. I just forgot about it, and after a while I got an alert that one of the apps is now installed (and indeed working). The other apps on the list hanged as well, and took a lot of time to start downloading.

Seems like a nasty bug to me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshcsmith13:
it's a small comfort to know I'm not alone, but I still haven't seen anything download successfully, and as long as I can't install new apps (from the market), there's really no point in using [XD]Android. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anunna:
Try settings/applications/manage applications/market 'all tab' and force stop. Clear cache. Clear data. So next time you use market it is like new and downloads and installs without hanging etc. Your downloads tab should still have a record of apps you downloaded.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshcsmith13:
thanks anunna, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the apks for App Brain and the associated "Fast Web Installer" and copying to my device (storage card), but that doesn't seem to work any better. I guess those apps still depend on Android Market to download.

aarrrrrghh. so frustrating... I have now installed Rhod.2.2BLAZN.092610 with the new builds from 9/25 (hw 3d included), and still have this problem. Does anybody have any ideas?? I dont' see how this could be device-specific. ?? I've tried different gmail accounts, different builds, and different wifi networks. The only thing I haven't tried (and can't really) is accessing market over 3G. I say "can't" because I actually have a data-block on my phone to prevent unintentional use and associated charges.

Does anybody have any advice for troubleshooting ?

This time, I went straight into Google Talk and got stuck on the "signing in" screen. Eventually it came back with a message stating, "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." This is bogus though, since I can do nearly everything else on the internet, via my wifi connection.

It just happened to me while i'm updating a few apps. I did some research and found an article and follow that way. what you need to do is to un-install the app that you're updating. after that, forced close the Market app and clear the cache. then try again to install it from market. well, it works for me.

by the way, there's also another bug that make Market FC every time when u download an app. if it happen to you, just open Setting>Applications>Manage Application> Market and click "Uninstall Updates".

I am in Malaysia and I have this problem too. It is either "Starting Download...", "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" message.

I'd tried both 3G (3 different telcos; Vodafone while in NZ, Optus while in AU and Maxis in MY)and WiFi (different AP; at least 10). While connected, I can do everything except for download apps from Market. Also tried signing in different Gmail account.

Being desperate, I tried to install Apps via "adb install" command. Guess what, I couldn't uninstall my apps (both using "adb uninstall" and "Settings > Application > AppName > Uninstall"). It force close everytime I tried.

I got OTA updates for FRG83 twice hoping it will fix my Market problem, but it did not install because it can't. When I tried sdcard:update.zip, I got status 7 error. Some livewallpaperspicker.odex error. Tried searching for the odex but couldn't find one specifically for Nexus One.

Also tried rooting my phone and install ROM Manager. Performed a Fix Permission issue (which it claims often fix Force Close message; one friend recommended this too) and all I got is "An error occurred while attempting to run privellege...". I am sure it is rooted with Superuser Permissions showing "Allow" status. To confirm, I had Move2SD installed and able to port most apps to SD without the developer setting the option.

Just want to share this with all of you that have this problem. Is there anyone can help? The only thing that makes me keep this phone is because its a gift from my wife. Or else I would just get something else. :(

Cleaning the Cache of market didnt help at all.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdelisle:
My latest install was Froyo 4.6. I had reinstalled another version. I noticed this on both the reinstall as well as this install. The great thing about Marketplace is that it remembers your downloads. So, this time I had like 15 apps which were taking a pretty long time to download and install. At first, it looks like it is stuck, but gradually they all do download and install (at least for me). I found that if you want to "rush" it, click on the app to be downloaded, click cancel, then click install and accept the conditions. Then, it will start downloading pretty much right away. This worked both on the first reinstall, as well as this fresh Froyo install, therefore, I believe this works consistently. Happy droiding...

Market stopped at "starting download"

Hi, I managed to get across this problem. Firstly, my downloads seemed to have frozen at "Starting download", but I noticed that my apps were actually installed behind my back. They appeared in the app launcher soon after i chose to download them, even though market app shown them with "Starting download" message. So, I tried unmounting the SD card, and as soon i did that, the downloads worked normally.

After this first unmount, i mounted it back and downloads still worked great.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FlorianO:
Hello all,

I have my Galaxy for almost 2 weeks and the more I use it the more I realize that the Samsung interface is nothing short of idiotic. Today I compared it with an HTC device some colleagues at work and what I thought were just pure Android OS stupidity it turned out to be Samsung's

Just an example: In the dialer application, if I start typing a contact name, I get a match ONLY if I type the first letters -- I get no match in the middle of a word.

Also, when a match is found, I am not presented with all the phone numbers for that contact, only the first one.

That's _really_ bad -- even my old Omnia running WM6.5 can do better than that.

Needless to say same thing worked as expected on the HTC running Froyo.

So, the question is: Is there any custom ROM (ideally 2.2) that doesn't suffer from this stupidity ? Or -- even better -- is HTC Sense (or a similiar, sane interface) ported to the Galaxy ? Or maybe even a vanilla 2.2 GUI ?

Thanks...
