How do you cut out just the Rom ? I hate RUUs dam Linux sorry I hate Windows only got it on my note book for my unlocking box's
[Desire General] EddyOS:
-Start the RUU

-Once at the first warning screen, go to Start>Run and type

%temp%

and click OK

-Go to the newest folder and you'll find the ROM.zip in there

-Rename it PB99IMG and copy it to the root of the SD card

-Turn the phone on holding volume down to get to HBOOT and it'll find the file and start the update process
[Desire General] andQlimax:
In this way it flash the ROM as an update? Or I will lost app ecc?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
This still wipes the phone, just doesn't need Windows once you have the ZIP file
[Desire General] tidy:
Is there a non Windows way of doing it or someone please upload it ?

Do you have to rename it can't you just use the clock work recovery ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I'll try and get it uploaded this evening when back from work. You need to rename it as it completes resets the phone to stock. You can reroot afterwards, though
[Desire General] tidy:
Thanks :) I try and keep my Windows install as bare and poss because some drivers mess around with my riff box . But don't with my ns pro its random
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you just get the RUU, extract the ZIP from it and copy it to your sd card you can just do it. No drivers needed bar the generic one to read the sd card

Could also try this if you use Linux...

O one last thing do you need a gold card ? Or will s-off kill the checks it dose on the phone ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Well, flashing this will remove EVERYTHING and put you back to stock - it's not a custom ROM. If you had to debrand then yes I suggest you use your gold card as it may still fail the checks...
[Desire General] tidy:
All good I'm trying to find that file in %temp% but with no luck .. I even installed the drivers and all going to hate that when I try and use my riff box never mind I would just like to have the newest .zip file so I can upgrade all the phones I get in to unlock and repair the IMEI zone will have to wate for you to upload if you find some free time later thanks for all your help mate
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It is an arse finding the folder, it'll be the newest one created today and be called something like a Windows serial key...I'll get it up this evening, though

[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's what the threads says, a new RUU for the WWE version of the Desire. Only worth doing to stay up to date really
[Desire General] saiprasad30:
If this is just a radio update to save some battery, I will wait till next week. With news on the Gingerbread.. Waiting is defenitively worth it.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
So this can go onto a non-rooted phone to stay up to date, but will factory reset it?

Just wanted to make sure before I considered it...

I wonder if this fixes the stock mail app with hotmail EAS...

thanks :)
[Desire General] saiprasad30:
You are absolutely correct Non-Rooted Phone. If De-Branded, Needs a GoldCard othawise forget your Wi-fi.

About the Mail App thingie do not know, Do Try and let us know if you can :-)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Unless you already unbranded out the box, in which case no gold card as it's a WWE ROM...I've never used a gold card and have had no issues
[Desire General] FreshNClean:
Hi guys,

I noticed that all the RUUs come as an executable and zip file. Does:

1) Making a gold card and running the exe, and,

2) Rooting and flashing using the zip file,

Have the same effect? Is there any advantage to either option
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The RUU has a file in it called ROM.zip which is what is used to flash the phone. For most, running the RUU in Windows is enough to update. Some, though, don't use Windows so extracting out this ROM.zip and renaming it PB99IMG.zip, copying it to the SD card and then booting into HBOOT allows them to update.

This is what I did as there were users asking for the ZIP version so I uploaded it to shipped-roms.com to give users a choice. Personally, I use the ZIP method as it's straight forward. You just download the ZIP file from the post and remove all the file name bar PB99IMG

You don't run the ZIP in your custom recovery as it's not that type of ZIP
[Desire General] FreshNClean:
Thanks Eddy. Right I see, so...

Holding back button while switching on -> goes into HBOOT, use PB99IMG.zip which is the same as running the RUU exe from windows.

Holding the Vol down button while switching on -> goes into Recovery, can use custom ROMs like the ones posted on here...

Is there any particular location where these zip files should be placed?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Nearly, hold volume down and power and just leave it. When you first boot into HBOOT it check for images on the sd card and if you have PB99IMG.zip on your sd card it will start to update - if not you then have the option of 'Recovery' for custom ROMs

and if you're going down the PB99IMG.zip route, it needs to be on the root of the sd card (not in any folders)
[Desire General] FreshNClean:
Yup, I see I had no idea. I was fooling around in the boot menu and selected 'BOOTLOADER'. The green writing suggested that it was looking for a series of PB.. etc zip files. So I'm guessing the other zip files relate to other types of images.

When I selected 'RECOVERY' i got a red trianlge and had to pull the battery. Is this because I'm not 'root' or because the bootloader didn't find a recovery image it could load?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If, when you go to recovery, you see a red ! then that means you're not rooted and as such can only install official updates (e.g. OTA ZIP files)

To get to the menu, hold volume up and press power - you should be able to reboot from there
[Desire General] FreshNClean:
Ok, just one more question.

Is there any where I can learn more in depth about this stuff and how android works? I'm finding bits and pieces from forums but haven't found a top down manual or tutorial.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
There isn't a definitive guide unfortunately, it's just having to piece it together yourself - it's a lot to take in but worth it
[Desire General] saho_tabakov:
So, what will happen if I try to install a non-official update on a non-rooted phone?

For example if I try to install the ROM from this thread? :confused:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Right...

This ROM, as is, will update a Desire running on x.xx.405.x to 2.29.405.2. In the process it will remove ALL data and reset the phone to an 'out of box' state.

You can flash this ROM by either using the RUU or the PB99IMG.zip.

To flash the RUU you need to already have a Sense-based ROM on your Desire and be either:

- Running on a version based on x.xx.405.x;

- Be on a custom ROM but originally had a ROM based on x.xx.405.x; or

- Have a gold card in your Desire so you can debrand your handset

You also need HTC Sync on your PC. You connect your Desire to your PC and set it to HTC Sync on the options your given on your phone. Once HTC Sync on your PC shows connected you launch the RUU and follow the instructions.

Some people, though, don't use Windows so they can use the PB99IMG.zip file to update their unit. To do this, you simply download the ZIP file, rename it PB99IMG.zip and copy it yo your SD card. Once copied, turn off your Desire and turn it on again whilst holding the volume down button. The Desire will boot into HBOOT and it will find the PB99IMG.zip file and ask you if you want to run the update. Just follow the instructions on the screen of the Desire until the process has finished.

That is it, there's no other way to update it so, PLEASE, no one ask any more question on installing this update
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Nothing as it isn't official - custom updates can only be applied to a rooted handset
[Windows Mobile] stevep:
Hi Guys

Like a few of us here, after a soft reset, I *sometimes* find that my pop3 accounts have disappeared leaving me with just 'Outlook' and 'Hotmail'

Having posted a thread about this and not got (m)any suggestions :) I've decided to look at it another way...or at least ask another question :)

Here we go then:

Is there anyway to export a particular registry setting or settings that would contain ALL my email account details? I've got a registry editor on my HD2...just need to know what to export if it's possible. I'm not fussed about the actual messages themselves, just the pop3/smtp/username/password stuff
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Most of the email info is in the databases, not the registry. SK Tools allows you to export email accounts with the Pim info tool. It's the way to go.
[Windows Mobile] stevep:
Exporting email accounts

Hey FT

Thanks for the quick reply. I've got SK Tools on the HD2. I looked under the PIM Information options and I can see the account names but am I backing up the *settings*? If I select the check boxes for the relevant accounts...it looks like I'm backing up the MESSAGES (based on the 'count' in the message column)

Sorry to be a bit thick, but I want to ensure I'm backing up the right stuff
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
All you do is long press on an account, and then select 'export' from the context menu. It exports the account as an xml, and it may also export emails; I always delete my emails, so that field is empty for me. To restore, you just select 'import' from the action menu.

The real question is what did you mess up in the rom so that it doesn't save the email settings? Did you leave out any sys packages, or remove xip modules?
[Windows Mobile] RoryB:
search for rapiconfig. It lets you extract Email, Wifi and Sync information. You can find it in SDAutoRun thread.
[Windows Mobile] stevep:
Brilliant F Ted- no I didn't mess up the rom, AFAIK it's a bug on the HD2 that sometimes deletes email accounts

[HTC Aria General] ritsukaakun:
My Aria is just not turning on anymore.

I got a refurbished about a week ago with the phone insurance thing after smashing my other one.

About an hour ago, it was being buggy, and I took out the battery while it was still on, and now it just won't power on, nor will it charge, nor will the indicator light even turn on.

I've tried two different micro USB cables, and three different AC/USB blocks, and still nothing.

Any ideas at all?

I'm running Froyo FR004, with a class 2 16gb microSD.

I'm wondering if the HD2 battery fix would work, but highly doubt it.

Anyway, any ideas at all would be fantastic. Thanks.

Hello!

I have a similar problem.

After flashing a 2.2 rooted rom (can't remember which one), i wanted to return bak to SenseHero 2.1 b5, but it always gets into boot loop.

First i tried nand restore-didn't work, then full wipe and flash again-didn't work.

Then i tried other 2.1 rooted roms (Kimera, cronos droid), but always end up in loop at boot.

Only 2.1 roms I can boot into are villain, modaco which I do not really like, and STOCK 2.1.1 rom which is terrible. I want SenseHero 2.1 back, or CronosDroid :(

I did a full wipe before flashing 2.2, I always do full wipe before flashing ROMs so I don't know what's the problem.

Even tried adding flykernel 10/11c over fresh sense hero 2.1 flash, but didn't help.

I think that the problem startet when I flashed new recovery 1.7.0.1, but i reverted back to 1.6.2, and flashed sense hero, but it didn't change anything.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jakk212:
Don't think that the recovery image-change has anything to do with it. I had an ps3 recovery image (for jailbreaking) and i was able to get into the phone from there.
