[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhutanigaurav:
ok. latest development.

managed to get CID from mmc1 and have been trying to make gold cards for the past 2 hours. on my 3rd sd card now but no luck....still coming up with 131 error.

need that rom210.zip...or a miracle!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidde:
I accidentially flashed an 1.xx rom on my SLCD Desire too and ended up with black screen.

However i got it back straight away with a 2.xx rom in fastboot.

I didn't however get any CID errors so i suspect u have a different problem there now.

This was the rom that worked for my SLCD Desire:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
What I don't get is the need for the gold card. Any of the FroYo RUUs would've worked so unless you WANTED the Asian RUU you could've used any of them...they all use HBOOT 0.93
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhutanigaurav:
This was one of the first roms i tried. couldn't get past error 131 -- figured out that this ROM wasn't for my device so needed the gold card.

I wish that were the case. I tried almost all RUUs and until I had the gold card created, all of them gave me 131 CID error -- something that almost everyone suggested a goldcard to overcome.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieftm:
htc210.zip from the link is just the HTC 2.10 RUU rom.zip.

Look that up on shipped-roms.com under 'bravo'.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Recognized in Fastboot.

NOT recognized in Adb

So I cannot create Goldcard since adb cannot return the CID.

Please tell me another way to get the CID and create a Goldcard.

Fastboot throws:

C:\Software\htc\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot getvar cid
cid: HTC__038
finished. total time: 0.000s

This is not the CID for Goldcard, is it? EDIT: It isnt!

Can anyone help me too?

Adb does not run on my phone. Only fastboot does
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhutanigaurav:
Nope, that isn't the CID. CIT is a pretty long alpha numeric number.

Does your phone vibrate when you do the following:

1. Press volume down + power. Let go of power but keep volume down pressed for 5 seconds

2. Wait for 30 seconds.

3. Press volume down

4. Press power -- the phone should now vibrate.

If the phone vibrates, it's restarting to get into recovery.

5. wait for 1 minute.

6. Connect phone to PC.

Do you hear a Windows device connection 'boing' sound? You should have the already installed by the way

7. If you hear the sound when you connect the phone to your pc, do adb devices

That should give you your device id in the command line.

I don't know of any other way to get the CID off the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Yes it does

Nothing at this point. If I press vol down and then power, if the phone is connected at this point, then the Connected device shows up in Win. But Adb does not show connected device here. Only fastboot interacts with the device at this point!

I guess my recovery is corrupted! Can someone help fix it? Just had my Desire for a month, and already bricked. Did you buy your Desire in India too?

I don't know of any other way to get the CID off the phone.

There is a difference. Your file was not downloadable from Shadownl. So I got the RUU for SLCD generic, ran it, and took the rom.zip from the Temp directory, copied it to Tools dir of adb, then tried to flash that.

Apparently my Desire is Branded as Asia_India. There is only one RUU available for that. It has an old HBoot, so I get Bootloader version error with RUU.exe. If I use any other generic RUUs for SLCD, I get a CID error.

I tried the same method with the rom.zip from the RUU for Asia_India. I got this:

Anyone know of a good wifi tethering for a rooted captivate? If you don't know of a wifi tethering...what about a good USB tethering?

Thanks,

Chris
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Wifi tethering is built into the leaked 2.2 rom. Just go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile AP

If not on 2.2, this is the best I've seen so far. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

USB tethering is built into the phone.

For 2.2: Settings > Wireless and network > Tethering.

For 2.1: Settings> Applications > USB Settings
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Isn't the built in usb tethering in 2.1 so you can use at&t's subscription tethering service? If not I wasted $10 on EasyTeather. (which works like a CHAMP btw.)

PDANet adds the bonus of being able to text using your computer also. Costs more if I remember right.

For sure on froyo MobilAP is full of win.

Samsung's i896 Captivate (Rogers version) allows for wireless tethering, stock:

AFAIK, PDANet is a free-download:

junefabrics [dot] com/android/download.php [you know what to do]

This works for me, I've tested it: very easy setup.

Could it be, that the i897 (AT&T) rendition of the Captivate does not include wireless tethering by default...?

Got WiFi Up and Running...But...

OK OK...thanks to the thread WIFI is up and running on the captivate (tethering I am still clueless). But I am using the latest version of WIFI TETHERING and it appears to be working fine. I am using wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk version on this site:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

BUT:

Here is the real pickle now....it works GREAT (about 2MBPS) until I try to bring a game up to play (like BF2). Then, the internet simply stops. Any suggestions on how to bypass this?

I know this sounds like a real trivial question...but the AT&T cap on data cards simply devastated our internet in my house (we live in the sticks). I am trying to find a good alternative.

To summarize:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
One possibility for you would be to install Cognition. It enables both Mobile AP and USB Tethering, among other things. You have two choices, Eclair or Froyo. Cognition 2.1.7 is Eclair and includes the JH7 rom update. This version is completely stable. The Cognition 2.2 Froyo beta versions are also good but there are a couple of issues.

I have had Cognition 2.1.6 installed since the day Froyo was first leaked. I decided not to intall Froyo until the release version is available. My version of Cognition runs fantastic. There are zero issues.

When you have USB Tethering insatlled, there will be an additional option in the USB Settings screen: Samsung Kies, Media player, Mass storage, "PC Internet" and Ask on Connection. PC Internet is the Tethering option.

I havn't used either wifi mobile ap, or usb tethering much, so I don't know how well either of them works, but just thought this might be one possible solution for you to try.

I have both working setup yesterday via Perception. All I did is go to Wireless and Networks and chose MobileAP. That's for the wireless. Then for the usb, I chose Tethering. My windows installed an Samsung NDIS driver for the device.

It works perfectly on the internet. However on VPN, it works but I get disconnected in less than 2 minutes. I am able to remote desktop to a Windows machine as well as ssh to a unix machine but after a minute, my access is gone. The remote machine wouldn't respond anymore. I had to disconnect my VPN then reconnect again. Not sure why.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
I can't speak for the stock ROM since I've been on Cognition for quite a while and now Perception. However, I just tried the USB Tethering on Perception... plugged in the USB cable, selected Mass Storage... then went into Settings->Wifi->Tethering and turned on USB Tethering. Took Windows a minute to install the drivers and whatever else it decides to do when you plug something new in and withing about a minute and a half, was connected to the internet via my phone. (typing this on it right now actually)

I believe Cognition had the same option available... but can't be 100% sure since I never used it prior to just now.

Have also used the wifi tethering without issue since some of the earlier cognition 2.2 releases.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adsingl:
running cognition now for a week, it's great. but if you select mass storage, tethering isn't even an option after that, and to me, this makes sense. I know nothing of perception but it seems counterintuitive to select mass storage to get the modem to work, so clearly cognition is different.

In cognition, after re-installing the driver to ensure I was ok there, I still get winxp to want to install a driver when I select tethering under USB, and it won't accept the Sammy driver set, so not sure what to try next.

I am rooted using unrEVOked, currently using MIUI ROM....I have a question regarding ROM Manager, I made a backup of the Stock rom before installing the MIUI rom, if I want to switch to Fresh rom, and I make a backup of the MIUI rom, can I essentially go back and forth between the 3 ROMs (stock, MIUI, Fresh) by just using the recover ROM ? Will it put back all installed apps, layout of app icons, settings etc...?

[G2 and Desire Z General] ryaninc:
T-Mobile is launching a bunch of new devices, new data plans, and rumored tethering plans on November 3, so I would imagine the G2 will be updated around the same time to offer the tethering option. But that's just a guess. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] eburganjr:
There's still no definitive release date for the OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
Probably when they make the tethering option public, they should send out OTAs a week or two after.
[G2 and Desire Z General] innerlight:
I got some news about the ota. I went to a t-mobile kiosk where I bought my g2 and was told by the guy who sold me the phone that either next week or week after the ota will be rolling out. He pretty much guaranteed me that it will roll out just after the mytouch 4g comes out, which is in a couple of days. That would make logical sense for it to come out just after the mytouch because t-mobile wants to hype that up. All the goodies we've been told are coming with it (wifi calling and tethering). The guy said that he wasn't sure if t-mobile was going to charge for tethering, but if they do then the price will be between $10 - $15. Personally I believe the info I was just given. I was told this today.

So I frequent the HD2 forums because I have an HD2 and still maintain a sticky on the boards. I read an interesting topic about how members who have installed the new official 3.14 rom on there device can't seen to use WiFi tehter. Some suggest that it might be t mobiles doing to prevent customers from accessing wireless tethering without paying for the service. My question or thought is can HTC / T-Mobile make something like that happen with an OTA? A way to lock us out of that feather even with root unless we pay for it. If thats the case I don't think ill be accepting the OTA which is said to be out soon until we get the green light from the devs.

Also, I'm aware every post, advertisement, and banner states the 8th as the retail release, but I've also read the 1st on occasion, but I'm going to assume the 8th is official, is that the case?
