Just want to update to 2.2.1

I have a phone that is just stuck on 2.2. I have called tmobile about 4 times and the only resolution seems to be each time is wait another week.

All I want is to update my phone to 2.2.1 are there any steps to get this? I do not want my phone rooted at all. I read the force 2.2.1 update and re root thread but my understanding is that will perma root my phone?

Or even steps to do this and unroot right afterwards? The unroot thread totally lost me.

3G Hack

Is there any hack that make the phone works with UMTS bands diferent from 1700 or 2100
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kevink213:
Hey XDA.

I'm trying to revert my myTouch 4G back to its original state.

And I'm kinda new to this, so I need help on doing this.

I already tried the "Stock Recovery" in the Resource Bible.

When I try to apply it, my phone goes back to the ClockworkMod home page.

I installed the Desire Z ROM onto it.

I need to get it back to the Original myTouch.

I thought I backed up my .IMG file, but I guess I didn't.

So can anyone help me on doing this?

Thanks!

Kinda noob here although I wasn't with my og Droid or my X. On my my4g this permaroot and s=off stuff is new to me and I have read a bit and dont quite get it. I used to do the more complicated updates back in the day but was wondering if anyone is working on more simpler ones like simple z4root and then a open clockwork and select you Rom theme and kernel? I have looked into Visionary+ v14 but I have heard that does not work with 2.2.1 on v14. Is that as close as you can get to what I am asking? And if v15 works with 2.2.1 and I get it rooted will I be able to download roms from clockwork or do I have to come here?...right now when I open clockworkmod I don't see any roms listed when I did temproot with z4root (but z4root may not have worked and I may be way off here). I love xda but I like how easy clockworkmod worked with the Droid. But I know this is not stock Android but what is the easiest way. Sorry....know this is white noob stuff here.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
R14 works with 2.2.1 ota and box stock. I speak first hand. Its in my signature and grankins "guide to permroot s=off and s=on" is your best bet, use his alternative root process mid-OP. Use root explorer in signature after temproot to verify/change r/w sometimes it takes a few temproots before r/w sticks. Let me know if you have trouble.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dmcgroggan3:
Sweet. Some guys in visionary+ forum were saying it didn't. So do I temp or permaroot in v14. What Rom you suggest? Was thinking about gingerbread cm7 alpha but that seems too daily an update....or is the updating easy once I get the s=off thing sorted out. But I do like the my4g skin. Kernel? Can I get longer battery life and still overclock to say 1.4?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Ice glacier seems to be the most stable,kernel is pretty much rom specific. Follow the steps I mentioned for the temproot stuff. It is easy too switch roms, I am on stock with with grankins stock oc kernel and hitting 1612 solid 2800 quadrant and great battery life.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dmcgroggan3:
So temproot, grankins, then ice. Sounds good.

Thanks for your help.

Based on the info I know/see it seems your device software is compatible with Android. So try this:

1. Format your SDCard with FAT32 (backup your data first) (what kind of card do you use? (size) (some users mention to have troubles on 16GB SD cards))

2. Copy your android to your SD card (read the installation guide of the chef, not all Android Builds runs from /Storage Card/Android)

3. Run CLRCAD.exe and then Haret.exe.

4. Be patient, it will take a few minutes at the first boot.

5. if you complete the setup process reboot and then you can do what ever you want.

Normally this must work.

[Vibrant General] Trev420:
What's faster?

I love the froyo rom and I don't use GPS often so that issue doesn't bother me. I hardly use flash sites but this thing gets 14+ on linpack and seems pretty smooth all around. Problem is my battery life is killing me.

I've used every bionic rom and loved them all. I've also used voodoo with every single rom. I don't over clock my phone, but use the kernel mainly for the undervolt.

Has anyone compared fusion with the froyo rom closely? Which is faster (remember voodoo is a beast with bionic roms).

I know which one will have better battery life so I'm already leaning towards fusion w/ voodoo.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyao:
I installed Bionox 1.9.1 with OC/UV kernal, also flashed Vibrant_GPS_Fix.zip and Vibrant-JI2-GPS.zip.

GPS Application Setting:

Hot start

GPS Plus On

Dynamic accuracy ON

Use SkyHook ON

Server: supl.google.com

Port: 7276

AGPS Mode: SUPL

Got 11 views, 8 in use in GPSTest

When I was trying to use navigation in the car, until I arrive at home, it's still showing "getting driving direction". It seems GPS doesn't work at all.

Any suggestion?

Thx

With bionix and bionix fusion you don't have to flash any additional gps fixes. I've ran both of the rom's and gps works very well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyao:
the reason I flashed is just I cannot lock any GPS signal with bionix. I guess ur GPS is better than mine

Operation mode

Turn 'Use wireless networks' off in location and security,

Change operation mode to 'MS Based' (Dial *#*#1472365#*#*)>Application Settings

'Delete GPS data'

go outside to get clear view of sky and 'Get Position Test' Let test run for about 3 mins, should get about 10-11 Satellites.

[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
Sure it is. You just need a couple of electrical engineers and embedded software engineers to help out.

A budget of about 1-2 Million would be nice, too.

When you are finished, though, you might want to call it something else besides an Eris - maybe something snappy like "Erris".

Maybe hire a marketing guy and a sales guy, to help recoup your losses.

Oh crap, I see where this is going... ;)
[Droid Eris General] Stonent:
I remember when some guy took some processor boards for SGI workstations and had them solder faster processors on them

http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?t=1071

But the eris processor is likely more specialized.
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
If by "faster processor" the OP meant "better speed bin of the same (msm7600) processor", the answer is "yes, with big risks": in general small processors are not socketed, but rather surface mounted (especially for cell phones, where space is tight). So even swapping a processor which is "identical" without the right equipment is both tricky and risky too. You can find videos on the web showing people doing this - on a cell phone - using a heat gun, some aluminum foil, and a vacuum pick-up tool.

If we're talking about a different processor, it is highly unlikely that it would share the exact footprint of the msm7600 - in which case you are talking about a new circuit board design, which is close to the same thing as starting from scratch.

Short answer is "No!".
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
^^ =\ I read that halfway through my answer and now I wasted all that time lol

I didn't change the processor, but I put two AA Energizers in my Eris and now it keeps going, and going, and going....
[Droid Eris General] Aaron121:
Can you post a link or something on how to do that.thanks
[Droid Eris General] joshw0000:
It's pretty simple. Using a standard pocket knife, shave each battery down flat to the width of the Eris battery. Line them up parallel and hot glue the two side by side (duct tape can be substituted if desired). Cut open a 1' section of 14/2 AWG wire purchased from Lowes or Home Depot and use the ground wire to wrap around the now affixed batteries (very important to use ground wire as we don't want anyone getting shocked). Hot glue or duct tape to make a permanent bond and your finished. Oh, and dont forget to wipe battery stats before starting.

It's a good idea to have the phone plugged in the first time you boot. For increased affects, hold the phone over the toilet.

I'm looking for some help with a new Android tablet that I've come into possession of. It's a Marvell Moby 10":

www dot mobylize dot org

The problem with this tablet is that they've got some weird custom home screen and it's running 1.6, and no market.

Good news: Tablet is rooted, terminal is installed, USB debugging is also enabled. In fact, these were all enabled by default. A really nice surprise for me!

I'm an experienced Linux admin, but not a developer, and am not very familiar with the Android internals or how to even begin building a new 2.2-based ROM for this sucker.

I've managed to install some apps to it by either downloading APK's directly, or installing apps from the market via my Droid, backing them up with TitaniumBackup, swapping SD cards, and then restoring them to the tablet. This works most of the time, but there are a bunch of apps that just don't work.

It's a really nice thin tablet, but unfortunately crippled in a few undesirable ways.

Right now I'm out of town so I don't have simple things on me like a USB cable that I can use to use adb so I'm limited to the terminal.

Would appreciate as much help as I can get on this! If you guys want me to dump images, files, etc, let me know and I'll get them online.

Just took advantage of Best Buy's Free Phone Friday. Unfortunately, I am getting this bizarre screen flicker. I notice it most often in low-light situations, and usually while entering text in whatever app I am in. The flickering has occurred with auto-brightness on and off. The phone is not rooted, and is pretty much "out of the box". Does it seem like I have a dud phone? Could it be the LED backlight?

[G2 and Desire Z General] nighthawk626:
Big help: use that app disabling method and disable app that you don't use. Biggest culprits are Google bloatwares such as: finance, shopper, listen, my tracks and many more. Also make sure you use a taskiller that works cuz most are crap and just make up fake number of killed apps. (Ask me if you wanna know how to find out if a taskiller works or not)
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
I have mine set to sync contacts only as well... works perfectly fine. Very little drain.

Basically, I agree with you. Don't sync notifications ... manually do that via the app if you want to.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Finance isn't really bloatware... it's a good app.

Shopper, listen and my tracks I'll give you. I disabled some of those type apps.

You don't need a task killer in my opinion. Use the running services tab in application settings to disable anything you don't want running.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nighthawk626:
Taskiller is good because I prefer one app running constanly in comparison to 6 or more. The taskiller I use is the one with the red droid icon. To find out if a taskiller is good open it and make sure its not excluded or ignored then click "kill all apps" or whatever. And if the taskiller itself isn't killed then its not worth squat

[G2 and Desire Z General] bikespridel:
Exchange email sync has a known problem for high cpu usage. I can't post the link as I'm new, but do a google search for "email sync high cpu" - it's the google.code issue #5424

Please note that there is a workaround that has worked for nearly all users. Set the exchange email sync to "never" or "push". The issue is that with specified time intervals the sync may fail and continue failing, consuming ~50% of your cpu.

I've experienced this myself, and couldn't understand why my phone was so slow till I looked at the processes running and % of cpu usage (via 'top'). I'm experimenting with never-sync and only have a handful of days battery monitoring and guessing I'm getting about 8 more hours out of my battery (again, not empirical data).

edit: I stopped using task-killers after reading up on froyo behavior and more importantly monitoring my cpu usage (again via top). All the apps that were showing "running" in my task-killer were consuming ~0% cpu. They were using memory, but I now leave it up to the OS to manage that. In the end I find that the apps that I didn't want running were eventually automatically stopped by the OS for me.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
I have G2 my avg battery life is about 36 hours on reg battery casual usage and about 18 hours with heavy usage (i consider heavy usage data streaming from slacker, using phone as modem via wifi router 150 text messages and about 10 calls). setup i have is 2g when NOT using the phone, background data off & auto sync off, email account set for manual sync.

In regards to Task killer they are worthless on froyo devices use Watchdog app it watches for rogue app that are consuming too much power.

I have a evo battery in my current phone right now and I never worry about battery life. i did a little modifications to get it to fit but it works great (make sure you get the red color battery if thats the case, I didnt get the correct battery originally but i ripped everything off the battery it fits and it works).
