[HD2 General] amstaff72:
I am using wi-fi router from xda. I had used it a while back but I have went through several HD2's lately and when I installed the cab I went in and made sure it was connecting to my t-mobile connection like before. Maybe I'm forgetting something but I don't think so, I even tried to rename the connection but it still won't connect fully. I have my pc right because I haven't changed anything on it. I also can't connect with usb for some reason. I just don't have any idea. Like I said earlier I've had terrible problems with the HD2 recently. I have gone through 5 now and t-mobile has told me I can either trade for a clique xt or I'm on my own they won't do anything else. This is another refurbed model and I'm having probs with it already. So I wasn't sure if anyone else had problems and maybe this was something that maybe an update would fix or something like that. I don't feel comfortable with flashing, I can't risk bricking this one, it at least makes calls for me.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Wow, seems that you have terrible luck with phones. What version of the program are you using? Make sure it's the latest one.
[HD2 General] amstaff72:
yes I have had bad problems with this phone and they expect me to either take the clique, which is nowhere near the HD2 in power or size (they charged me $200 for it), or I have to deal with it myself. After the second phone going bad I asked about paying the extra for insurance and I was told by T-mobile "With as much problems as you are having I would recommend it. With the insurance we will be able to exchange your phone if you have problems even after the manufacturers warranty ends". That's an outright lie, after 5 problems you have to exchange for a lesser phone I guess or make due. I called HTC they said it was still under warranty but I have to pay to send it and have it sent back and I will be without a phone for 4-6 weeks and this is my only phone. When I asked T-mobile about the ROM and Radio they said it was the newest version. ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE, Radio 2.10.50.26, OS 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89). I'm livid over this whole thing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevja1:
I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't get any answers. (When I search, I keep finding threads asking the same question and being told to search...)

I know I've seen a thread somewhere with some info. If anybody knows where this is and can post a link... :)

I've downloaded the kernel source for 2.1 from samsung and have been able to compile it. I took a voodoo kernel zip and unzipped it - replaced zImage with mine, and zipped it back up. When I use clockwork to flash the zip file, it goes into a reboot cycle. I figure this should work since the kernel versions are the same and my kernel should just use the existing modules, (in the same way it appears the voodoo kernel does).

I'm guessing I'm packaging it wrong, but I'd like to see a whole build procedure to make sure I didn't miss anything.

EDIT: Also, I'm running Ubuntu and its getting annoying to boot back and forth between Linux/Windows to use ODIN. Are there better ways to test kernels?

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttabbal:
Did you add the ramdisk? I use odin in virtualbox under ubuntu. There's a thread in the i9000 development forum that explains how to do it.

The ramdisk is finicky as hell. It's much simpler to start from a known good one. The voodoo project has one posted. You can also extract one from a working kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearmonkey:
Damn that ramdisk. It seems that only one way of adding it to the kernel works. I could never get the gzipped cpio file to go into the kernel. Have to ungzip/cpio and create the stupid list. But thats probably your issue.

[General Questions and Answers] Jedi Pirate:
So yeah I had a guy unroot my mytouch 3g because the latest cyanogen mod wouldn't work on my phone, I would get no base band version, and my phone would reboot itself randomly and it was very frustrating. So, when he reverted it back to 1.6, he told me I was still rooted, and If i wanted it back to stock completely, he'd have to do it. But, he lives in Garden Grove, and I'm in l.a. so I don't want to drive the 40 minutes. So, I just wanted to know If I could do it myself. My settings say: Mod version - Nexus Super D-blk 1.10.2 Build Number - Super D beta

So how can I remove this and get my phone to stock? Thanks.

[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
Seems there is an issue affecting most devices when ro.serialno is not set in build.prop.

ANDROID_ID is generated by running the ro.serialno through a command, if not set then ANDROID_ID is always the same. Some apps on the market, for me it is "Fast Web Installer" from appbrain that is giving me an issue because my ANDROID_ID is currently the magic number = 9774d56d682e549c

Seems some other developers use the Android_ID to identify handsets on the market when apps are installed. There is an app on the Market to view the android_id and if rooted be able to change it.

I'm about to update my build.prop with my device serial number and see if I get a true random ANDROID_ID

I'm currently using Cog 2.2 beta7

Could someone check the build.prop file on a stock ROM? By stock I mean truly stock because I believe the handsets from the factory have this set, but when we flash the JF6 it no longer has the ro.serialno.

Edit: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10639
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
looks like adding ro.serialno does not help us since the ROMs we use are not true first boots, the system.db already has the value set so it doesn't generate a new one.

next I will try removing the ANDROID_ID from the system.db and see if that fixes it...
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
im bookmarking this, it would really be a big help
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
well i found an app that allows you to change it, but can't find a way to set it to what it should be from factory using serial number.

would be easy to get an app to use same method and just ask for your serialno if not set

turns out cynogen had the same issue since the ro.serialno was not set, they added code recently to generate based on serialno and first boot time so it would have seed data even if serialno was not set.

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...mmit/81ed751a1dcf1e7c722db2cdded38bef4308a1c5
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
:confused: so something in samsungs source may be goofed cause they don't seem be pulling ro.serialno, i set android_id to "" in the database and rebooted, it stayed the same.

I then deleted the entry all together and rebooted and it went back to the magic number.

edit: well checked with getprop and ro.serialno is blank even though I set it in build.prop
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
I'm done tinkering for tonight, I changed my value manually for now to a randomly generated hex value and my "fast web installer" is working fine now.

Does seem to be an issue though, and not sure the code solution on cyanogen's site is best way either. They are looking at using ro.serial and time to generate random just in case the serial is blank.

If your someone who purchases a lot of apps, then it might be a good idea to make sure your android_id is random and then keep it so you can restore it later if needed. Some app developers use this to identify the end user.
[Captivate Android Development] msm903:
If you go back to 2.1 you can retrieve your original Android ID and manually set it in Froyo
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
I did a fresh restore to JF6 and it was set to a unique one, then done a restore to a nandroid I had from an old 2.1 install and it was the same ID. So hopefully that one is unique to my device :)
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
well i installed the froyo leak on my gf's captivate after i had zero problems after like a week or 2....now she needs an app in the market and calls me complaining about how she cant find it. Whoops, forgot to tell her about that little tid bit!

Any work on at least a temporary fix? I was going to just tell her to sideload the app using sideload wonder machine, but i can't find an .apk for a free app on the market!!
[Captivate Android Development] jdsemler:
This is normal for pre-release firmware.

1. Root her phone.

2. Edit her /system/build.prop file

3. Find the line that starts with this: ro.build.fingerprint=

4. Make it say this: ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys

Save, exit, reboot.

The fingerprint line is carrier agnostic. Android Market just looks for known (to Google) fingerprints. If you have a known good one, you get to see all the protected apps that your unknown fingerprint prevented you from seeing.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
hi im curious about the name of the app that let you change the android id can you post a link for it or the name of the app ty

I am having this same problem. I wanted to use the fast web installer but it wouldn't work as well.

Has anyone figured how to change it so this will work?
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
thats great! thank you for the quick reply! just tried this on my phone and it worked great. I knew it was a common problem but never found a real answer on what to do. It's just too bad she lives 6 hours from me and i'm not sure i feel like writing her a step by step (as in button by button) guide for her to do this. She will live without the app for another week or so haha.

I was hoping that there would be an app on the market that would allow me to put her a random android id like the above guy stated. Anyways...thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] jdsemler:
I'm not running Cog2.2b7, but it seems to me you could use this method to generate yourself a unique Android ID using the emulator option under Make a new androidID with the Emulator. Then, using this command to pull the unique ID off the emulated Android device:

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db "select * from meta";

Once you have the Android ID, close out the emulator, and put this Android ID into your phone.

Like I said, I'm not running that version of Cognition, but give this a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] buddy17:
i am curious as to what the difference is between what i did (modifying the build.prop file as stated a few posts up) and getting my unique android ID and insterting it back into the phone while running froyo? I can see the apps on the market, was that not the issue at hand with the android ID?
[Captivate Android Development] jdsemler:
The Android ID is a unique identifier for your phone.

The fingerprint is more of a signature to tell the Android Market that you have a known good firmware and what firmware version it is (2.2 in this case). When you have an approved signature, you get to see apps that were promoted to the market with the "Protected" flag enabled. If you do not have an approved signature, it is as if those apps aren't there.
[Captivate Android Development] smoeki:
Need clarafication

Hi Im interested in this ID changing process, but have a question about it. Now does this also fix other issues with 2.2 like not being able to log in to certain apps because the ID of your phone has been changed? I have a captivate but I have been reading thru the threads and noticed a lot of devices, well the ones who upgraded to 2.2, are having the same issue. If this does that i thank you very much cuz i have been looking for a fix for a few weeks now.:D

hi how can i change my android ID MAnually seems the link i provided on top doesnt work on me xD
[Captivate Android Development] jfl0wers:
I have been successful with these steps in getting my phone's id corrected (Cog 2.2 Beta6)

adb

su

sqlite3 /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db "update secure set value = '[your HEX android id]' where name = 'android_id';"

sqlite3 /dbdata/databases/com.google.android.gsf/gservices.db "update main set value = '[your DEC android id]' where name = 'android_id';"

reboot

I got my old id by doing a text search with notepad++ on a backup made with rom manager.
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
I did play around with sqlite3 as well, I didn't search through my old backup though I just put JF6 back with Odin, one click root, and downloaded "Android ID" from the market, wrote down the ID, and then flashed to cog 2.2 beta7 and restored.. Of course then setting my ID with app..

I know I went the long way, but it worked :)
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Is there a relationship between the HEX and DEC values. I, for instance, only have the HEX ID and not the DEC, could I just run the HEX through a HEX to DEC converter and it would work? Or is there no relationship between the two numbers. I ask as I am on COG 7 and the HEX ID and DEC ID have no relationship to each other whatsoever in these two files.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I am wondering that as well. I went back and unpacked my JH7 nandroid backup, and could only find the HEX ID in the com.android. providers.settings directory. The other file containing the DEC ID is not there in the Eclair backup. I then went ahead and applied the HEX ID to where it should have been and converted it to the DEC ID and applied it in the other file. The phone seems to be behaving fine. If there is a different way to covert from HEX to DEC, I'd like to know, so that I can correct the second location.
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Yeah, I did the same thing, could no longer connect to any google services under cog 7. No Market, no mail, no contacts, nada...

:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] Stephenv1971:
Theres a gservices table in settings.db in eclaire. The android ID in that table has the DEC version, the HEX version is in the secure table. Glad I sorted this out before I flashed a whole bunch of verisons to try and figure this out . Okay, so I did, but still....

To make the long and short, the HEX value and DEC value for secure and gservices android.id do not have a 1 to 1 relationship necesarily.

If you need these values from eclaire, they are both in separate tables in settings.db.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
My unique android_id were a 1:1 match on JH7. On the JI6, not related and, non unique.
[Captivate Android Development] j1mb34m:
Just wanted to say that this thread is awesome. Here's what i did to fix my phone_id issue with cog beta 6:

-Downloaded "Android ID Changer" from the market

-Copied an old eclair nand backup to my pc (but you really only need the "datadata.img" file)

-Downloaded "unyaffs-x86-win.zip" to my PC and extracted to a new folder on desktop

**Also had to download cygwin1.zip and extract the .dll to the same directory--you might not have to though**

-Moved datadata.img from my nand backup to the same folder as the extracted unyaffs.exe program

-Dragged datadata.img onto the .exe file

-Opened the resulting settings.db file with notepad

-Searched for "android_id" until I found an entry that was followed by a 16-character string of numbers and letters

-Entered those characters into the Android ID Changer app

-Hit "Change ID"

My phone rebooted and my apps that previously weren't working (i.e., Project INF and Storm8 games) are working!

Hope this helps, this is freaking awesome now!

[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
In that settings.db file I seemed to have two strings of numbers/letters that seemed like possible candidates... I changed the first one with the android ID changer app, and now I'm trying to figure out if push notifications have been fixed... After changing the ID do you think we'll have to reinstall any apps that might be affected by it or no?
[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
I successfully updated my Android ID and it seems like push notifications are working properly now.

On my brothers phone, which has an older version of Cognition (2.2), it asks for superuser, which I grant it, and then I get this. I don't have the ability to change the ID. I have Titanium Backup installed and Rom Manager... I've tried fixing permissions in Rom Manager and reloading Busybox with Titanium and I'm kind of at a loss. It worked perfectly for mine, but my brothers, it just won't. I've also tried rebooting the phone as well.

Can anyone help?
