[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Karum:
Thanks for the reply mate.

Now just to be sure, as I know errors can brick phones, what I do is follow the Unlock the Phone, Set SuperCID, and Turn Radio S-OFF section you linked me to and then flash the ROM posted in the original post of this thread?

I just hook the phone up via USB though as the RUU is basically an executable right?

Sorry for the questions, just looking to minimise human error. I did have a nandroid backup of the rooted stock ROM and could probably just have used Visionary to unroot but in playing with the phone the last few days the nandroid backup has been deleted :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yes, but also make sure you go through the verification procedure (from the Wiki) to make sure it really did work.

Yes, or you could just flash the ROM from hboot if you extract that from the RUU.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Karum:
Seems to have worked ok...it really took it's time going through though and had me worried for a bit lol.

Thanks for the help though man, much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShimaMiku:
I was so confused!

Man, I thought I was losing my mind! I just got my Bell Desire Z for use on AT&T (because it is so awesome!) and followed the instructions to the tee.

Here what I did that confused me and hopefully helps anyone else who was confused about this to:

1) I tried to flash the stock European ROM using Clockwork Recovery. This will not work (for me it didn't). Just do it in HBoot and it will be fine.

2) I couldn't get into HBoot!!!!! (as dumb as that sounds) No matter how much I held the volume down and power button down. It is because the HTC "power down" doesn't really turn it "off" just in a hibernate (hence the quick turn back on). Pull the battery, put it back in, and then you can get into HBoot using Volume Down + Power Button.

Hope this helps!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Good point. Alternatively, you can switch off HTC's "fast boot" mode (nothing to do with the "fastboot" used to flash partitions on the phone !) via Menu->Settings->Applications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
The guide states using a Micro SD card reader, but I don't have one readily available. Is it safe to just plug in the phone and mount the card?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yes, that's fine.

3 Quick Questions I might be missing here...

1. I need root to complete this? Is Rage the best one now? On ota update yesterday my HTC Desire Z updated and since then VISIONary cannot temp root.

2. In ADB Shell when I type 'SU' i'm getting "Permission Denied". Is this due to lack of root?

3. HTC Sync keeps bleeding UNSYNCING when i'm in ADB SHELL is this okay?

Thanks guys.

When I click the link to reverse the number I go to http://hexrev.soaa.me/ which is a default installation, no links or files to reverse the number. All links in Google lead back to this page. :-(

Is it just a case of reversing the numbers or is there an special way to do it?

Part 2 Grabbing Rom From RUU

1) Start the exe and leave it to load

2) once loaded leave it

3) navigate to C:\Users\**username***\AppData\Local\Temp\

4) look for pne of the two newest folders and open

5) within that folder there will be another folder open that

6) find rom.zip and copy to the sdcard

7) rename PC10IMG.zip

8) Put MicroSD card back into phone and boot to android

On step 3, when i go you my username, there isnt any folder called appdata. its only folders like contacts desktop downloads favourites my documents etc...

also 2 more quick questions.

i am running firmware 1.84xxxx on my bell htc desire z will the downgrade work from firmware 1.84xxxx to 1.34xxx? because im using this guide to downgrade inorder to root.

Also do i need to have root for this downgrade to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zhouzian:
What you need is just temp. root. You can use AMT to handle the process.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
but do i need to downgrade first inorder to use amt?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ongadget:
Hey!

The WWE ROM link is broken. I tried getting a ROM from somewhere else but it didn't work because it didn't match the version of ROM on my phone.

What kind of ROM do I have to get?

Does it have to be a Bell ROM or a generic ROM?

Can I upgrade to a later version?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yes, you can use a different ROM. The point of this thread is for Bell users (or users of other carrier-branded ROMs) to be able to flash to a generic HTC ROM (i.e. no carrier stuff). But bear in mind that lots of the later ROMs can't be S-OFF'd, and you'd have to downgrade if you are not S-OFF already. So if you are doing this from the point of a standard Bell DZ (i.e. no S-OFF, no root, etc), then you need to flash one of those early (1.34) HTC ROMs, get S-OFF, then you will be able to flash any later stock ROM or custom ROM.

Why not just follow the xda wiki... Seriously look it up, you'll be happy. It takes about 10 min from start to finish and for the novice less then an hour.

Just Google search one of three things for a guide

CyanogenMod wiki g2 / desire z

Strawmetal PDF guide root g2

All three are the same guide just written a bit different but each will walk you through the proper steps, any other guide may be outdated or lead you astray

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noyabronok:
We need to figure out a way to customize the genius button. It would be a great service to everyone, especially if it doesn't require root.

I looked at logCat, and I see that the button fires up the following intent:

{ flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.nuance.android.vsuite.vsuiteapp/.VSuiteStartSession }

I'm not quite sure how to create an intent handler for something that doesn't have an action or a category. I even created a test app that matches the intent above exactly, but only the stock genius app launches, and I'm not given an option to choose my default handler for the action. I don't think there is a key handler to intercept either. Any ideas:confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
You know, I was thinking about this all morning (eventhough I don't have the device). Back in the day we remapped functions for certain keys (as g1 didn not have search key of any kind). Can someone go into /system/usr and look what's in there? I believe we are looking for keylayout folder. In that folder we should have some .kl files. They named different from device to device (using Cliq now and they are all named MorrisonXXXXX.kl). Look through those files and find genious button function. From there it should be very easy to change it to google search (or voice search) but substituting the function and pushing the file back in its location. I would have no problem doing it but as I said, I don't own the device myself.

Couple more option (highly unlikely to work):

Clear defaults in Genious app

Freeze Genious app

I don't see those working but who knows... we may be able to assign new default after doing this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjgii:
kl files

Here are the files from /system/usr/keylayout

Looks like the correct entry is in glacier-keypad.kl, but it is mapped to a "search" function.

Not sure it will help, but I'd love to see search there instead.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InGeNeTiCs:
I don't mind the genius button, it actually works fairly well the more you use it. However, I don't like that it disables the search button.

It should be single press for search, long press for genius.

That would be perfect.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Ok, I'm at work so I can't really do anything with this but I will look into into it later, when I get home. You are correct, it's in the glacier-keypad.kl. Unfortunately, it's set to the same thing as regular search i.e. In G1 we used to set it to SEARCH as well but it would bring up regular search.

I will try to PM GeniusDog (the guy who figured out how to remap keys) when I get home to see if he can give me some insight on this.

Did anyone try to freeze (disable) Genious app to see if it releases G key to regular search?

We should also contact ChiefzReloaded, he would know how to do it since they put CM on Slide which did have Genious on it to begin with.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Ok, so I guess this is a little different then the Slide. Slides G key was mapped to FUNC_4. Our G key already mapped to SEARCH, its just that Genious overtakes it. I twitted Eugene_73 to see if he could help, he was the brain behind Slide's development in this area.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eleeo037037:
If its helpful to anyone, holding down the menu button will bring out search keyboard. I really wish the would give us a option to chose from the voicesearch ¦,/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noyabronok:
Hmm...what about mapping it to a function key (like on the G2) and then assign whatever action we want to that function key? I will try that out as soon as I get some free time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noyabronok:
Alright, so I tried modifying the key layout file on my G2 (vision-keypad.kl) just to test the process and I am not allowed to make any changes. Just get a "Read-only file system" response. I'm sure it would be the same for the MT4G. Anyone have ideas on what else to try? I really want to find a solution without rooting, but any solution would be a good start.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjgii:
root

We have root now, so we should be able to modify the key mapping files.

If I find any time today I'll give it a shot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noyabronok:
Great. You will probably have to remount the system partition like this before you can write to it:

su

mount -o remount, rw /system
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicvx94:
Oh how I hate that genius button..I would absolutely donate immediately for an app to remap it to search. That would be amazing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Did anyone try to uninstall (disable) Genious app yet? Since the G key mapped to SEARCH already, this may release it to actuall Google search.... just thinking out loud

I updated my voice search in the market when I first got the phone, and for a time when I pushed the button is would actually give me the option to choose what app handled the action and I could choose voice search. However, after one time choosing the Genius button it never asked again. I wonder if there would be a way to continuously clear the Default so that it always asked.

Reply from the support at HTC.

-------------------------------

This is not a fault with the device or its software, your device updates its time automatically from the internet and from your mobile provider.

Occasionally there is a difference in the time from the internet and the time from your provider which can cause the time to appear to be changing when it should be the same.

Normally this will resolve itself within a few days, however, this is very inconvenient so we recommend you disable any automatic time updates on your device.

WM 5, 6, 6.1, start settings, personal, phone, timezones and disable automatic time updates

WM6.5 old Sense: start, settings, all settings, persoanl, phone, UMTS services, automatic time updates

W>6.5 new sense, Settings -> Data services -> Time synchronization -> Untick all here

Sincerely,

Alex

[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
I've got the same problem (Poland here).

I've disabled that Time Sync option in the Phone settings AND the Internet Time Sync in the Services tab... HOWEVER, if I turn the Internet Time Sync back on, I still get +1 to the time. So, assuming the option in the services tab is working fine, then diamond_cb's solution doesn't work for me.

Now, it'd be really nice if I knew which server the phone is using to synch the time. Perhaps that server still hasn't figured out that we're on DST here in Poland...

I should also note I'm running the latest version of Energy ROM.
