[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markeas:
HI........

bit of back ground... rooted my phone a while back and used the guides on this website (didnt use unrevoked, loaded Leedriod on to the phone and everything has been fine not problems at all.....

Now I want to update my rom to the new leedroid, Ive managed to do a nandroid backup (some how) but now my windows recovery bat file just wont load. opens for a mini second and then goes..ive changed nothing on my computer or the phone (part from the back up)

any ideas what im doing wrong? or do I have to reroot?

THanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
I think you would be better using fake-flash or flashing a permanent recovery using unrEVOked or fastboot (assuming you have s-off)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
You should definitely not be using that method anymore people started getting usbbrick. Either flash a custom recovery with unrevoked or use fake-flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
The easiest and quickest way to get a recovery on your phone (assuming you are rooted) is to download Rom Manager from the market and download the fake-flash recovery from there.

MUCH safer than pushing via USB.

Hey people.

I'm just looking to findout how many of us have the issue of bootlooping (splash screen) overclock kernel is installed...?

I have seen at least 10 ppl on here - please post so it gets known how many we are.

I have tried formatting SD-card w both HP-formatter and Panasonic SD Formatter - neither helped -

I have Cleared Dalvik, Wiped Cache, Wiped to Factory Settings - and redone it over and over.

Nothing helps. Bootloop. As soon as i reflash Froyo kernel official (0050 on WildPuzzle Rom) everything works perfectly.

I have ruled out that the problem would be in SD-card. I have tried three diff cards of various brands and sizes - and also tried without SD-Card. All resulting in Bootloop when OC is flashed.

ADB won't let me get a logcat - as it don't find a device connected - or - as in the latest v5 OC kernel, says Device is offline.

How many - and who - has this issue - There has gotta be something we can do? POST to show the devs you exist please.
[Wildfire General] erhanakt:
I have the same problem too. I've just installed new roms and also kernels. Nothing happened. My wildfire won't boot-up :(
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
I understand your frustration guys, really.

Unfortunately though, it is hard for me to be able to fix it without any logs, and I don't have time to play around with potential causes at the moment.

Hope you guys understand
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:
We so do.

But is there noway to get a log w-o booting past splash?
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:
Here's a question to everyone who cant boot OC - what color is your phone?

the 2 i gave physically encountered that have the problem are both red...?
[Wildfire General] Phinxy:
I solved my bootloop by simply removing my SD-card and then booting. :O Format didnt work forme neither.

try it out
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:
I have - made no difference. As i said before - there is no way that the issue is with the sd-card... I have tried everything regarding that. Results are the very same with - or without sd-card...

But thanks for trying to help...

danne_jo - adeadrat? any of you two live anywhere near stockholm..? if yes i could meet either of you and you can see the issue 1st hand..? maybe you can dig out a log somehow?

worst case scenario (i am desperate yes) maybe i can mail my phone to you jacob and you send it back in two weeks or so? (can't believe i'm saying this)
[Wildfire General] naserbaser:
Perhaps you can get the logcat via adb when in recovery?
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
There's a kernel debug message system too, although I'm not sure if it'd work if adb doesn't
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
I don't want you to mail me your phone. I'll help out where I can, but if you send your phone to me and it gets lost in the post or I accidentally kill it, I'll feel really bad so I'd rather you didn't :/
[Wildfire General] adeadrat:
hehe, no im not living close to stockholm, and sorry I can help out either :(
[Wildfire General] Elbie:
I had the bootlooping too, but that was untill i used the Remove HTC apps puzzle piece, maybe it's sense / rosie thats causing the issue, i'll try my best to look into it.

Been stupidly busy as of late, haven't had time to even work on my own rom lol, peace yall
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:
So how would I get to that..? Everything is worth a try..
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:
understandable lol. just trying to make something happen ;p it's frustrating...
[Wildfire General] fireplayer:

Curious but which version of the touch screen do you have?

You can find out by pressing the Vol Down button and Power button at the sam time when turning on the wildfire.

Could be that as I know the PSFreedom guys are having issues with the other type of touch panel.

[Wildfire General] Elbie:

[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Im not a big developer or hacker of any sort and so i just have a quick simple question. Dont get mad at me for not knowing. But do we NEED a perm root to be able to use ROMS? What happens if we use a rom without perm root? A bricked phone? Erased data? Ive always been wondering this and never came across an answer or a similar thread
[G2 and Desire Z General] ad505:
Tmobile included the chip so it will revert back to stock if it is rooted, therefore eliminating the possibility of a brick. If you call cust support and tell them you are having issues because you tried to root your g2, all they have to say is "reboot your phone." I think tmo did this because of the slew of customers calling cust support when they bricked their g1/mt3gs. Therefore, it is the inexperienced user's faults that tmobile had to install the root kit. If noobs didn't brick their devices so prevalently and ask tmobile for help with their mess up, there wouldn't be a need for the chip.
[G2 and Desire Z General] itp:
Ugh. This is not only false, but has been repeatedly debunked. There is no chip, mechanism, or anything else that "reverts" the phone back to stock.

The NAND itself is set to be read-only at boot, and no one has yet succeeded in disabling this protection. When people root the G2 and make changes to the system, these changes only appear to be present because the Linux kernel is caching them. They are never written to the device, and so at next reboot (or earlier, when the caches are flushed) they disappear.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ad505:
Ok, chip or not, the "reboot unroot" was because folks bricked their devices and asked tmobile for help, flooding their customer support and overwhelming their resources. It makes perfect sense to me why this was included in a flagship device like the g1's successor.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Its a bug. Don't give tmobile too much credit.

Sent from my HTC Vision G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
More like "Unfortunate side-effect of being read-only but appearing as read/write to the OS."

In normal circumstances, it's not an issue (being that nothing needs /system to be r/w for normal operation.) Technically you are operating it out of spec, since you re-mounted /system as r/w.

Not that I agree with it, it's ****ty (and the main reason I returned my G2.)

To answer the OP, yes - two things need to happen before ROMs can be released:

1) Permanent NAND unlock

2) Recovery (Clockwork Mod or similar) to write the ROM to un-locked storage.

Until both of these happen, ROM development is at a standstill.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
What on earth makes you think it's a bug rather than a deliberate HTC feature?
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
One could argue that the controller lying about syncs to "disk" is buggy behavior. But it's clear that it's very much deliberate.
[G2 and Desire Z General] franky1029:
How is it clear that it's deliberate? It only serves to let us mess around with our phones through a temporary root. It doesn't add to the underlying cause that we haven't rooted the phone.

At least, thats what I gathered from the wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Uhhhh....sooooo.....what's the need for a perm root to use a rom again? Either no one answered or I completely missed it and I don't think I missed it haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] franky1029:
You're only making changes to the cache, so after using the phone for awhile, parts of the cache get emptied out, and they just go away. This is why when you have temp root, after enough time, your phone will just restart.

I've seen that theres work to get ROMs loading from SD cards, I haven't checked into this myself, so it might just be a pipe dream, but still, do you really want to run everything from your SD card?

At this point, it works better (and longer) to have temp root, and make small changes here and there.

And please someone correct me if I'm wrong on any point.
[G2 and Desire Z General] faugusztin:
In fact, there is no such thing as permanent root. There is only root, the problem is that anything you do while being rooted is not preserved, as the memory card where the system is is write-protected. So you can't modify the system and make the root available permanently.

And to your question - no, you don't need permanent root to use ROMs. But permanent root needs write access to system and custom ROMs also need write access to the system. So they don't depend on each other, but both depend on another feature - the write access to the system (the integrated memory card, eMMC). Once you get write access, both problems ("permanent root" and custom ROMs) will be solved.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Technically, you only need recovery. But the fact of the matter is, they go hand-in-hand. Once one is compromised, the other is as well. This has been the pattern with HTC thus far anyway...
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
I answered here

No roms until those two things happen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
If you think this is about anything but control, you're sorely mistaken. They do this because they can, and because they have commitments to Amazon, Photobucket, and every other pre-installed crapware provider they have a contract with to guarantee the user cannot remove their app.

If it's about bricked handsets, why not take the Nexus One approach: Make rooting trivially easy to do - anyone wishing to do so will likely take the path of least resistance. Once rooted, HTC/T-Mo can visually identify a rooted handset and decline warranty service. Problem solved.

It's deliberate because of the whole history behind it. S-ON, write protection, read-only partitions, gold cards, subsidy unlocking, etc. This arms race has gone on for years. All of this is done deliberately.

T-Mobile has an interest in making it as difficult as possible to use the handset on a different network, or use apps they don't like (which, btw, they have not started revoking yet, just wait, it's a matter of time...) Likewise, HTC has an interest in making their customer (T-Mobile) happy.

HTC doesn't give a **** that you, the end user, are unhappy. Their client is T-Mobile.

None of this will change until we (as customers) stop putting up with it, stop buying subsidized handsets from the Provider channel, and start buying un-subsidized handsets straight from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, this isn't going to happen in the U.S. for quite a while - people are too dumb to know what they are doing...

It was no accident that the device is designed to make writing to /system difficult. It was no accident on any other HTC handset either.

Why would you want temporary root over persistent root? It doesn't serve us at all - it only makes it harder on them (HTC - in the long run) once someone like Unrevoked roots it forever.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyclop:
Hi,

before I will buy a HD2, I need some answers:

1.) How can I find out which WinMo version is included in the ROM? Which number in the devices "software info"-tab tells me whether the WM version is 6.5.0, 6.5.2 or 6.5.3 ?

2.) What is the most recent WM version (is it 6.6 or even higher?).

2.) Is there any CLEAN ROM with the updated WM version? No custom programs, no deletes of software, no custom themes? And my last questions is how to find such a ROM build here in this forum? How to search for it?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
The HTC HD2 have only WM 6.5! only custom rom used WM 6.5.x

The most resend is 6.5.5

Yes, Artemis rom is very close to Stock rom lets say 95% but the big different is the use of WM 6.5.5 in combination with the latest packaging.

You can find it by follow this link: Link
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyclop:
Thank you very much, your post was exactly what I expected to get from this board :-)

But my first question is still unanswered. Where can you see, which WM version you have installed?

For example you have the Artemis ROM, it has Operating System Version: 5.2.23518 (23518.5.5.0)

So where can you see that this is WM 6.5.5? I guess here -> 5.2.23518 (23518.5.5.0), am I right?

[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
I had sent my phone to SE for a broken USB problem almost 2 weeks ago on 10/6 and I received a call last Friday on 10/15 telling me that my phone was unable to be repaired, so I had the option of switching to an X10a or getting my broken phone back. I decided to take my phone back because I'm on T-mobile and there's someone locally that might be able to fix it. An hour ago, I received another call from SE and the rep said that I still had the choice of getting my phone back, exchanging it for an X10a, or if I didn't mind waiting 3-4 weeks, could get a replacement X10i. I opted to wait for a replacement X10i because I Do like the phone and I'd like a fully functional one. With 2.1 coming around the corner, it'll also breathe new life into it.

So for my fellow X10i owners that use T-mobile and have a unit that needs warranty work, I would recommend getting an RMA soon because I'm not sure how many units they're receiving. Good Luck!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekedw:
Hey guys,

I have a special request and maybe you can do it and maybe you can't. Is there any way that when you create re releases of your ROMs to not do a data wipe?

My interactions with ROMs in the past has been that you had the choice to do a data wipe or not and a lot of ROMs from similar systems would carry system data from ROM to ROM but some would not. If it failed you can tell ROM Manager to do a data wipe first and then apply the new ROM. Is there a reason that SGS ROMs have to have a data wipe every time? Couldn't we just leave that up to the individual user?

I'll gladly offer up an additional donation for any ROM I use that does this. It's really frustrating having to wait in My Back Up Pro or Ti Bu to restore apps and settings.

Thanks,

Derek

[Vibrant General] Wuggs:
Just a little something lots of people have probably noticed with the vibrant battery that I ran into as well.

When you are done charging the phone and unplug it, sometimes it immediately drops down to 97-98%

Yesterday, each time the phone said it was fully charged, I just unplugged and then replugged the battery. And It would charge for another 10-15 minutes.

I was able to do this 4 or 5 times, each time it took a little less time. But once I got it to a 'true' 100%, i reconditioned the battery, and I feel like I am doing a lot better on power than I was before.

Maybe the whole thing is in my head, maybe theres 20 threads about this already, but here it is again. Hope it helps someone.

Nope, that's real. You're doing a type of bump charge, and it does help your battery at the top end. Normally I stop when my batt hits 4250mah.
