[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayme:
Hi, im a bit stuck here, I have a telstra desire with their 2.1 rom, and a hboot of 0.83.0001 it seems to be able to install clockworkmod ok, and I can get into it but when I install a custom rom, after the reboot, it sticks on the telstra splash screen and vibrates 7 times. at this point if I try to boot into recovery it also does the same thing, the only way to recover is to go into fastboot and update the official telstra RUU again.

I have tried the latest Modaco rom and the latest Leedriod rom, both same effect.

this is exactly what I did to install Leedriod:

install clockworkmod from unrevoked3

copied these 2 files to SD:

32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2.zip

LeeDrOiD_V2.1a_NoA2SD.zip

boot into clockworkmod, Erased Data, into advanced, erased davlik cache

install from zip > choose zip to install > chose LeeDriod > installing......

once that finished, I installed the radio, then chose reboot from the clockworkmod menu.

it rebooted and got a little picture of a box and an arrow coming out of it for a few seconds, then I got the telstra spash screen and 7 vibrates.

has anyone got any idea where im going wrong? I cant seem to find any information and im a bit of a noob to android, just defected from the world of WM (Tytn2)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayme:
ok so I have done a little bit of trial and error, turns out my problem is the radio.

Tried 2 different radio roms, both end up stopping the phone from booting at all. must be something different to the hardware in this new desire that needs a special radio rom maybe?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] au72Slade:
jayme,

You've likely hit the nail on the head with your issue. Telstra models of the Desire (8183) use a different set of radio hardware. Telstra runs their own 'Next G' network, which is a different frequency network to the rest of the world.

This frequency (850Mhz) requires different hardware to be installed on the phone, which is why the Telstra version of the phone will only ever work on the Telstra network.

My suggestion would be to find a rom that supports the 850Mhz network, using a compatible radio module. Failing that you may have to learn how to build your own.

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayme:
I actually installed the leedriod froyo rom fine and it works as long as I leave the original radio module untouched, but then I get the stability issues associated with running earlier radios on froyo. what im wondering is what are all these other telstra users running custom froyo roms using for their radio. ive read guides taht say which radio to install on a telstra desire and mine just doesnt work with those versions.

I may have to wait for the official telstra 2.2. update and the compatible radio rom that comes with it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] au72Slade:
Waiting sounds like your only option. I bought an unbranded phone to use on the Optus network. Thankfully Froyo 2.2 came out a few weeks back, and I'm quite happy with it.

Waiting can be a pain in the arse and considering how long this country has to wait for things from Telstra, getting 2.2 might be a belated Christmas present next year...

Good luck with whatever you chose.

Try teppic74's Rom here <xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773997>.

I had full success and converted my Telstra branded Desire into generic HTC Desire.

NextG functionality was not affected by flashing teppic74's Rom with the Radio.

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talkiet:
Wow... so many people commenting that the Telstra (A8183) requires different radios etc...

Wrong.

I bought a Telstra A8183 and rooted it, installed clockworkMod, then have installed several versions of Leedroid through 2.1a, and have recently also applied the S-OFF hack and changed the splashscreen.

I've also flashed about 4 different radios up to the latest as of today without any problems.

My particular phone is an AMOLED model and came with HBOOT 0.75 - however many people with different versions of the HBOOT (anbd including SLCD) with the Tesltra hardware have successfully upgraded.

Sorry I don't know what your particular problem could be - but it's not something specific to all Tesltra A8183 Desires.

Hi there. Another telstra desire user here. I've had mine since July, amoled and hboot 0.83. I rooted soon after getting it and have run roms from t-mod and cyanogen from whirlpool.net.au. it's. A great place to start and lots of awesome advice too. I wouldn't be here if not for muskier, Bog, and s-murphy. They have links to radio and roms there. Good luck.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayme:
well turns out the 2 radios I flashed happen to be the 2 radios my phoen wont boot with. both of them have _2 at the end. all the rest seem to work fine, I have since updated to the latest radio and im a happy froyo user. as for t-mod, wtf is the point of it lol, my UAstring is not the special telstra one and everything works fine, even data usage :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cepjr:
What radio are you running?

How did you do the S-OFF hack? I really want to get rid of the splashscreen...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelloydr:
+1 to talkiet...

I've had about 15 different ROMS and maybe 8 radios on my telstra desire, never had a problem. (mine is the AMOLED version originally HBOOT .75 now .93 version). The only thing that sometimes goes wrong is the APN settings and thats easy to fix.

I'm not sure how all those UA strings work, but to be honest i've not bothered checking my data usage or so on for a fair while, and the Bigpond unmetered sites are pretty worthless anyway. I never go over and I play around with the phone a lot. So, you can put pretty much any ROM on and just tweak the APNs a bit and no worries!

concerning S_OFF,

its not hard to do at all. just follow the instructions on the alpharev site to the letter, I was worried about bricking my phone, same as the first time I put a custom ROM on there, but if you do your homework, you'll be sweet. When you think about it, the S-OFF process is pretty safe as so many people do it and have a look about, there's not many saying they have ruined their phone using the S-OFF program.

The only thing i've actually broken on my phone over the last year is the sd card (very recently), trying to reformat it for data to ext ROM. Of course it was a cheap one and the card that came with the phone (samsung brand i think) worked fine when i formatted it and stuck it in.

Phone: Desire A8183 AMOLED S-OFF

HBOOT .93 and CWM 3.x

ROM: Crystal Kingdom v0.2 D2EXT+ (damo is a legend!!)

any one help me
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
For all of you having branded phones, go to htc dev site and download 2.3 RUU and flash it. You will get 0.93 hboot and newer radio plus the phone will be debranded, because 2.3 upgrade is made for all versions: amoled, slcd...

After that s-off and root is very easy, use revolutionary and you will have everything...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Visentinel:
Hi. Lastnight i took my SDHC card out and used another one to test run a couple of new Andriod builds released recently. After i was done i put my original SDHC card back in however when i went to try and use google search it did not work.

I can access my google account perfectly fine on any PC but my phone cannot, the error is simply that it cannot load the google.com page and when i try to sync google it simply failed, the market said there was a network error.

this morning i erased the Andriod of the SD card and started a fresh one, now it wont work anyways, cant access anything google, and cannot connect to the google account, says it cannot create a reliable data connection.

Again the google account works fine on the PC, i signed in to look for anything in relation to partnerships with phones but did not find anything.

Just to clarify, the Data works fine on the phone. It is "Only" Google related stuff that basically times out when trying to access them.

What the Hell has happened !??!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Visentinel:
Update- I called Google here in australia, theyr in sydney. I explained my issue and the wonderfull Girl at reception sent my account and explination of the problem to some google techies and 20 minutes later i checked my phone and the problem is resolved.

My search only resulted in one recent thread on a EVO 4g forum. (showthread.php?t=796005)

Can anyone please tell me if I have already rooted with unrevoked3 v3.21 is there any reason for my to flash unrevoked-forever.zip in clockwork recovery?

From what I understand unrevoked forever is essentially the same thing as unrevoked3? (root, s-off, etc)

I literally have unrevoked-forever.zip on my sdcard right now and I'm just waiting for some more info on wether or not there is any reason to flash it.

Thanks! This forum is great

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
So a friend of mine could possibly be selling me his x10 for a ridiculously low price, which I found out from another friend to be because of (possible) overheating issues because he tried overclocking the phone; and after trying to bring it back down to the original speed it still is overheating.

Before I get into something that would completely waste my money, is there a way for me to be able to fix it so it works normally or would this be something that I should completely avoid all together. Basically, I'd like for some tutorials provided that can help me rectify this problem.

Thanks for any help provided.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corruptfate:
its not possible to over clock the phone right now... so idk what your friend did. Also what kind of overheating issue is it? Getting really hot? or shutting down a lot?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
Well thats was how I understood it as. And from the sounds of things it seems like it is just getting overly hot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
It's possible it's just his battery that's shorted. Maybe another battery? That or the GPS chip runs constantly... I know mine heats up when the GPS runs at full. I also say try and flash the firmware back to a regular ROM (Without mods).

My Xperia started overheating and now its having very frequent restart cycles from several days. Is it a hardware fault in the Xperia X10?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biktor_gj:
At least on my first x10, it started like that, then only went worse. the first sign was when doing generous amount of traffic (heavy browsing, downloading some apps at the same time...) it started rebooting. After that it started doing it whenever it got network, during calls... even when reflashing.

So I would flash back to stock, then take it a day for a ride with.a backup phone. If it reboots even once, send it to repair...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sun7eash3d:
I'm also experiencing the frequent reboot problem. It seems the best solution I've found was to send it back to SE for repair/replacement. That solution is unacceptable for me, as I spent $600+ for an imported x10a when it first was released, and as such, SE has deemed my phone "gray market" and I would need to pay for repairs.

I love my x10, but $800 for a phone that's still severely outdated and lacking some high-end functions is just not worth it.

I am convinced that the problem stems from a faulty temperature sensor in the motherboard. My phone is definitely not hot to touch, and it seems that just placing it in front of a fan alleviates the rebooting problem.

Do any devs know of a way to disable the temperature sensor either through an app or via adb?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biktor_gj:
Its doesnt look like bad sensor, but a bad ic on the board or a bad solder point.

For me it ended up getting stucked even on the bootloader, where everything is 'out of order'. The only way i got to reflash it was using my car's air conditioner at 16 degrees... didnt have warranty either, so the board now resides half dead on my desk...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sun7eash3d:
Ouch. Sad to hear. Did you order a new mb or a brand new phone? If just the mb, mind sharing where you got it from and the price?

Hello All!

Before some of you start blasting me, I have searched and Googled everywhere for a 2.2 ROM with a theme that might be simliar to Windows Mobile 6.5. I like it because it has a clean look with the missed calls and appointments available for the home screen. I thought I saw one ROM theme once that had one very similar to the WM 6.5, but after searching everywhere, I couldn't find it. If it is out there, please point me in the correct direction? But if so, I am actually willing to pay for a theme similar to Windows Mobile. I am currently running VirusROM with SENSE. Thanks for your help!

I have an extremely annoying problem with Opera Mini 5.

When typing in a forum reply field, such as here on XDA, all of a sudden the space bar starts erasing the entire word I typed before. When this starts happening, I can't use any keyboard - the build-in HTC soft k/b, FingerKeybd, the hardware k/b all do that. This only happens in Opera Mini - I can switch to any other app and type normally. Sometimes it corrects itself, sometimes I have to close Opera.
