ok guys one more question, i got root just fine. gonna keep running my stock rom but when i installed titanium backup (never used it before) it said busybox not installed and i dont have root access. i do have root cuz shoot me is working. i searched busybox in market and it says wont work for the desire yet.. any ideas? i ran into this problem with SU on my hero and had to change to the chainsDD version of SU. could this be the same thing?

ALSO: trying to use ADB and it says permission denied.

EDIT . Spoke to soon and did unrevoked forever and seems to all be working now.

Hi,

I am new to this sort of thing. I just got my phone and I am following this guide and I am thinking about trying it on my phone. Here's what I've got:

HTC Desire

Running Android 2.1

Alltel is my service provider

This is the information I get when I boot up my phone while holding the "back" button:

Bravoc DVT2 Ship S-ON

HBOOT-0.98.0000

MicroP-051e

Touch Panel-SYNT0101

Radio-2.05.10.08.11

Will this guide work with my phone?

The sole reason I'm wanting to do this is because I want to use a Wii remote with emulators on my phone. I am aware that there is an Android app that will do so, but that app doesn't work with phones that use HTC's "sense". I'm also aware that there are certain third-party wireless bluetooth controllers, but don't want to use them. So, I've been told that my only option is to root the phone so that I can have a custom ROM on it. If there is another way to do this without rooting, I'd love to know what that is.

Any information pertaining to any of this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Rooting is the only way to flash a custom Rom and yes unrevoked will work with your hboot. Not sure about any of the wii stuff your talking about tho.
[Desire Android Development] hovage:
Thanks. And one other question I forgot to ask: Suppose I do this and an update to android 2.2 comes out for my phone. What should I do then?
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
If they give you a ruu just do it like normal, but as soon as they do cone out with a ruu for it whether its uscc or cellular south, there will be a custom Rom made from it.

unrevoked "fails to push recovery image"

any advice?
[Desire Android Development] sakai4eva:
Check the MD5 checksum for the Reflash_Package.exe

Most likely a corrupted installation.
[Desire Android Development] dills2214:
I have the same phone/hboot/ etc...

I was able to root with unrevoked, no problem. I did get an error in the recovery at the end but per this guide, that seems to be normal.

I was able to run a backup in nandroid, which also worked, but I noticed S-on didn't change to S-off. Is this normal for this phone? Should I try rerunning unrevoked?
[Desire Android Development] kenny.deford:
I had this same issue. I did some research and there is a thread on unrevoked wiki that has an updated unrevoked-forever.zip to flash that gives us successful S-off. There seems to be a problem with S-off ing this route though. After it was complete, the APN info was gone and MMS settings were blank. I used APN backup/restore to put APN info back in, but still would not send/receive. I had to restore MMS via Goldcard, which changed back to S-on. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] kenny.deford:
Since this seems to be the only generic CDMA Desire thread, I have some questions for other CDMA Desire owners. First, the only rom I can find with everything working is CM, but not sure I like the way it looks. I'm looking for a Sense rom. Anyone running a stable one? Second, I have found a rom called Ultimate Droid 2.3 and 2.4 for CDMA desire that looks worth trying. Anybody running it or tried it yet? 3rd, is there any other good forums specifically for CDMA desire? I am sick of having to weed through the billions of GSM threads to find a CDMA one...

link to Ultimate Droid roms: http://theultimatedroid.com/forum/index.php?/forum/33-htc-desire-releases-cdma/
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Cm, a miui by dphase who also has a half easy working sence rom and ultimate droid is all that is currently available for cdma. However, cm plus launcher pro can be very much like sence with the right widgets and settings.

[Desire Android Development] kenny.deford:
I flashed Ultimate Droid 2.3 (Froyo) on my Desire the other day. So far, everything is working great and running much faster than stock 2.1. I P.M.'d one of the devs of the Rom to include as many of the CDMA carrier's MMS/APN info as they could. The next day he uploaded the .zip files. I highly recommend this Rom if you don't want to wait for the Sense 2.2 update. Kudos to Navalynt for his work to get all the little guys a good Rom. Here is a link to the current providers supported:

[Desire Android Development] dills2214:
I can't even remember how I got S-off, but I finally did. I think i just reran the unrevoked or it was the forever one.

Anyway, it's my GF's phone actually so she is perfectly fine with stock minus some of the bloatware.

I may try getting her on CM at some point, but sense is fine for now with froyo coming to it real soon. I really would like a RUU for this phone before I start playing too much.

I tried ultimate droid on my evo and it is actually pretty nice. Most of it seems like a complete rip from CM, but with a lot of other nice features. I would give it a try if I were you.

Wifi Tether on Rooted Desire

This may be the wrong forum to post this so someone please point me in the right direction if this is the case...

Just rooted my htc desire using the unrevoked method. Worked fine. Thanks for the great directions. However, I am having an issue using wifi tether and Barnacle. Neither one will work properly. I can see the ssid on my laptop and attempt to connect to it but it never gets a valid ip address. Before my desire I had a rooted hero and never had any issues using wifi tether. What's different about the desire? Is there something I'm missing? Should I try the unrevoked method again?

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] kenny.deford:
bawb28,

I would get Rom Manager and run the "Fix Permissions" feature within the program. You can also do it in recovery if you have Clockwork. I had the same problem when I had my Hero and I think I had to flash RUU, then re-root to get it fixed. I have wifi-tether on my Desire and haven't had any trouble. You might also just try a different Rom like Ultimate Droid. Wifi Hotspot is built in that Rom (being that it is a Froyo Rom). Ultimate Droid works great on CDMA Desires....
[Desire Android Development] bawb28:
Thanks for the info. I'm going to give Ultimate Droid a try. I did try another ROM but I had issues. It kept showing up as a US Cellular Phone, even though I am with Cellcom (Wisconsin). Is there any way to correct that? Will I have that same issue with Ultimate Droid?
[Desire Android Development] hero32:
noob

ok im new to the desire im coming from the hero and im wondering if i root this way can i keep my stock rom or do i need to flash a rom to get full root
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
You can keep stock but if you do a nand right after root then flash cm. You get all the extra goodies then just nand back to stock if you like

Ok i have tried a couple of different music players (^3, winamp, etc) and im trying to find a music player that actually continually plays. Confused? Well for instance when the end of a song features the beginning of the next song they mix, however on android it pauses and goes to the next song having am awkward pause. The ipod series mixes the songs really well just wonderong for any insight

So basically to have both song mix seamlessly instead of be two different songs

Sent from my bullet proof phone
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
I know what you mean. I haven't looked into it. Winamp, back in c.1995 was the first (I think) to put out this feature via plug-in that lets the next song fade in as the current song fades out. See if Winamp has a plug-in (or preference in the setting) on the Android app for that.
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
Yeah ive checked and no such option. Haha

[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Check out the PowerAmp beta. I dunno if it has that fade in/out feature or not but it's supposedly a pretty kickass player.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] russbustah:
I've got a T-Mobile MyTouch slide, and my plan has the full smartphone data plan (not tzones or phone first web), is there a way to get it to work properly?

Long story short I can't put the android web on this line because I work for T-Mo and the fourth line is restricted to having a smartphone data plan, all three of my other lines have android.

I've looked around, seen some stuff on tzones, but not on this, I fear it won't work, but any input would be appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
If you don't have an answer and you work with tmobile, I don't think any of us will be able to answer that.

Personally I can't see swapping plans between lines. It is a contract after all.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] russbustah:
Sorry, let me explain that since I work for T-Mo, I get special plans available, they only allow me to have three regular lines, and a line with limited minutes and smartphone data. There is just no way to currently change the fourth line to have android.

I also have a an HD2 running android and it works fine with Smartphone web.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
Don't take this the wrong way, but why do you have so many phones with plans? You only have one mouth. Lmao. I could understand at least two phones. One for business and one for pleasure, but you must have four different girl friends calling you on four different phones or something. REMEMBER DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] russbustah:
I get the same customer care everyone else gets, not that they're terrible, but generally google is faster.

Also, they say no android data on that fourth line, and as far as they're concerned that's that, I was just wondering if there was a way to set up different APNs or get some sort of data workaround, since my HD2 runs Android fine with smartphone web.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] stoneyjonez:
I work at tmo and we get 5 lines now as of earlier this month I believe. (which you can add android web to) Go to the employee phone site and check your available lines! I currently have 4 android phones running on the employee android web feature.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
As a former TMO employee, I can tell you that with their limitations on what plans could be on what lines, it is tied to the SIM, regardless of what phone or APN settings you have.

Also, MAN do I miss the cheap plans they use to have. I worked there when they were still Voicestream, and I think back then it was like $5 a line.
[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
I thought I remembered reading something about using Voodoo that you shouldn't remove your battery or something along those lines, but I can't find anything about it anymore.

[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Definitely not true. I switch out batteries every day and have Voodoo. You shouldn't *flash* anything over Voodoo, if that's what you're thinking about.

[Streak 5 General] joedarkstar:
So, I have a Dell Streak on 2.1 O2 and for about a week now my Watchdog started reporting the following over the 30% threshold: Package Checker (this is always the first one to show up), Bluetooth Share (always pops out at startup), Settings. This usually happens only after 2-3 days of uptime. Also this is not the biggest problem. When this all starts happening I am unable to download/upgrade apps in the market. Also I have noticed that when I try to use the market the HSDPA icon pops up even thought I only connect using Wi-Fi. I have tried all the fixes suggested on another topics. Nothing works. My market also did not upgrade (as in I still have to download each upgrade manually.

I desperately need help.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I would do a factory reset if no good bell the dell:)
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
One thing I know is that the WI-FI icon takes over 3G or HSDPA or Edge icons. when you are on Wifi the ONLY connection ICON you should have is Wifi, if you have both it's gonna show errors. make sure you are connecting to the right access point and password is correct, usually my streak when I had 2.1 it took some time to pop up the Wifi icon on the top bar, sometimes I even had to go to settings pull the wifi settings wait 1 or 2 seconds or wait untill you see that wifi connection has been established.
[Streak 5 General] joedarkstar:
My phone is connected to the right AP and with the right password. Also I think I will factory reset but I'd like some other advice before that.

Anyone know all the files needing to be edited?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcgaynor82:
All the images for the dialer are in Contacts.apk. Careful though, most are the tricky .9.png types. Finally for anything fancy like transparent background for the dialer as a whole, you'll need to decompile and modify xml, I believe.

FYI- Images and functions for in-call screens are in Phone.apk.

What rom are you using? I have a custom HtcDialer.apk that I modded to have white text and I have a metamorph to change the images in the resources as well. I'd be happy to share - the dialer is from Virtuous 3.1.

The only thing I haven't figure out is how to change the text when you're in a call. For some reason, when in a call, the dialer text turns back to black. I'm still trying to figure it out. If anyone happens to know what has to be changed to make the text white in a call, PM me!

I'd like to take a stab at creating a redbend_ua based update to flash just the GPS fix that was delivered OTA by ATT. I'm not in the mood to flash an entire ROM right now, I'm happy with my rooted JH7, but I want the GPS fix until I'm satisfied with one of the 2.2 based mods being non-beta and ready for prime time..

Does anyone here know what the minimal file set for the GPS update includes? If I can get this working on my device I'll put it up here for anyone else that's interested in it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykishora:
Today I went to the AT&T store to complain about the GPS issues on the Captivate. The associate (after looking the device over), gave me a flier/form and told me to take the phone to the local AT&T warranty center. The flier seems to indicate that the warranty center folks would either fix the issue or replace the device if they agree that my phone has an issue and is not (water) damaged etc.

Anybody have any experience with this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I don't have any experience while owning a Captivate and going to the Warranty Center...

But when I had my Samsung Impression, and the phone display (it was a touchscreen with a slideout keyboard) completely stopped working, it wouldn't register any touch at all, I took it to them, they turned it on, tested that it truly didn't work, and they gave me a new phone (might have been refurbished) on the spot. Walked out with a smile on my face and went on with my day.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
Same experience with two LG Xenons with bubbles under the screen. On the spot replacement within 10 minutes after they verified that the moisture sensor was clear.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Refurbished phones are the replacement. Very easy to deal with.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsachi:
I had the same thing with my wife's Bold - warranty center didn't really try to fix it, just did the replacement. You have to make sure to do the data wipe before the exchange, and they can't do much in terms of data transfer. Process itself is very quick and straight-forward.

For my captivate GPS I just did a mail replacement. Gives me the time to swap everything at home with no pressure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RexEscape:
Funny you should ask. I'm currently dealing with a warranty exchange via phone and mail. I called customer support and told them about the random shutdown issue. They transferred me to the "Android" department. The Android department has heard about this so-called random shutdown issue so they sent me a replacement (refurb) phone after asking me questions like "Has your phone ever been dropped?" "Are there any damages to the screen?" "There is a square sticker right next to the 3 golden battery connector prongs. What color is it?" (FYI. If your phone gets wet, that white square will turn to a different color! Mine is still white. Never been in water. Anyway...)

They sent me the phone yesterday and today I turned it on. There was a new problem. It randomly takes me back to the Home screen when I'm just casually browsing the web, flipping through my apps, etc. It doesn't force close the app or system that I'm on. I just boots me out of whatever I'm doing and shows me the Home screen. So, I called to tell them about this problem. It is now in a box that it originally came in and it's waiting to be shipped out. They will give me another Captivate in the mail by Friday.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krynn!:
The Warranty Repair Center in my town doesn't stock Captivates. They'll take a look at the phone to see if it was damaged or submerged, then tell you to call the 800 number. Or, you can skip driving in to a warranty center and just call the 800 number. The people there will talk you through some basic troubleshooting, then ship you a replacement (ground is standard, you can pay for an upgrade to overnight). You have 10 days after that to return your phone.

As for your GPS problems.... if you've upgraded to JH7 and can get a solid lock out in the open under a clear sky, well... Sorry to disappoint, but your replacement phone is probably going to have just as many problems with the GPS. I do (and I'm on my 4th Captivate), so do 7 of my friends and coworkers who have Captivates, and so do about 90% or more of the people reporting on the forums.

According to AT&T and Samsung, the JH7 update 'addressed the GPS issues'. And it did make it better... Before, it would just about never lock on. Now I can usually get a lock within 10~20 seconds and it'll show me where I should be.... until I go for a drive.

The test is this: install My Tracks and go for a drive around town. Once you're done, take a look at your track.

If you've got a softtop convertable or a fiberglass roof, you're good.

If you've got the phone far forward on the dash and have a large, steeply raked windshield, you're good.

If you've got a large sunroof, you might be good.

Otherwise, you're stuck with a measured 50m~100m accuracy (it reports 15m~30m, but don't believe it) if you can even maintain lock.

Good luck!
