Dont take it as people here are just being mean or rude to you. The general feeling is if you don't try to help yourself first (search, read, search again) then why should they? :rolleyes:

Its best to identify what you think the problem is, then explain what you have read (done) to try and fix it.

yeah im pretty tech savy... i posted this because i havnt seen any posts anywhere regarding com ports.. i self trouble shooted and figured out all i had to do was switch usb ports... also i got to a screen that was not recovery or download mode and i have never seen anyone talk about that either.. i figured out odin and flashed successfully pretty quick ...

im just as bad as most of u and hate when ppl dont research but im on this forum almost 12 hours a day and i hadnt seen anything that i had yet but i figured it out on my own and idk what the hype is because odins easy as pie!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MStrawder:
The COM port number typically doesn't matter as the PC will assign one, IF you have the drivers installed properly and the device is in Download mode. If both factors are present, you'll see a little yellow box light up in ODIN indicating the COM port assigned. If you're still experiencing this error, then it is likely as someone else has said that you're using Windows 7 or Vista and need to run ODIN as an administrator.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColbyRyptos:
Actually it did matter com 4 would not work I switched usb ports and then it said com5 and worked perfectly

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlanhackerx:
Hello everybody..

I have some strange Problems..

First of all i used Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 with Hastarin 8.1 Kernel.

Today I used the MobilePhone for writing little SMS to my girlfriend and have the problem that I couldn´t use the Keypad...

If I pushed on of the five keypads the MobilePhone reacts difficult.. I could´t push and hold the PowerButton, its only shutdown display so I couldn´t do a reboot in android itself..

if i pushed the Home or PhoneButton the Screen comes up which shows me the last used Android-Apps..

And finally if i pushed the Volume-Keys it doesn´t react.. only volume UP worked..the oposite doesn´t react..

Now I thougt about Android and that there could be a little Bug or something else.. I finally reboot back to Windows Mobile with the little Red Button behind the Phone..

But now the Same strange Problem.. If I used the Keys the Volume-Down automaticly appears.. I couldn´t do something..

If I pushed the Volume-Key Down the background-light of keypad comes up shortly..like little lightshowing.. If I pushed another Key the keypad light doesn´t come up..

I hope this BUG comes from something like failed configuration of Microp of Android.. I hope it wouldn´t be some Hardwarefault because that would be really bad..

Hope someone could help me ....

Thanks a lot.

For all of those still waiting to root their phone until "the dust has settled", "it is confirmed save", "more people have tried it", "instructions become easier" etc let's get a quick count of how many people have managed so far without bricking their phone.

No problems here. I used grankin01's Guide to permaroot and s=off!!!!! and was rooted without problems within 3 minutes. (used root explorer instead of adb)
[myTouch 4G General] grankin01:
I did. :D

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I did! It went pretty much according to the directions except when I rebooted I wasn't rooted, so I had to run visionary one more time and rebooted and perm root after that.
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
LOL Thanks again man!
[myTouch 4G General] grankin01:
Not a problem.

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
Likewise, I used Root Explorer and entered all the commands through Terminal Emulator.

I actually recommend this method, as people seemed to be having trouble with the ADB bits.

BTW, thanks Grankin01 in the event I hadn't said thanks already!
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I did my root process thru adb, but I'm used to doing most everything through adb
[myTouch 4G General] notxel21:
I rooted and removed a few of the unwanted apps like Amazon MP3, T-Mobile App pack, and a few of the games.... :cool:

[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:

[myTouch 4G General] aznpr1de808:

[Focus General] Sophistry:
Perhaps this is a silly question, but isn't Windows Phone 7 supposed to have an Android-style notifications bar appear at the top of the screen when new emails/texts/alerts arrive? That is what I understood from the Engadget review. However, my Focus does not alert me as to anything other than with a tone or vibrate if I am, for example, using IE, Twitter, or the phone dialer.

Also, my lock/unlock screen (what you see when you hit the power button when the phone is on standby) does not always indicate that I have a new email waiting, but when I actually unlock it and go to the home screen with the live tiles, I will see one of my accounts (typically Gmail) with an unread message or two.
[Focus General] surfnet:
mine gives me a notification bar at the top when I get a txt.. and my lock screen tells me when I have new messages.. but if I unlock and dont check messages.. the message count is still set to 0
[Focus General] Sophistry:
Thanks for replying.

What about for emails? Or does the notification bar only appear for text messages?
[Focus General] burnblue:
I haven't seen the bar come up for emails, I don't think. My memory might be off. I'll go into settings and tell it to play a sound when emails come in, and see if that changes anything.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
On lock screen I'm 100% sure on receiving notifications for:

1: Voice Mail

2: Text Messages

3: Email's

Not sure about missed calls without voice mail. I think I did for Xbox Live messages but not 100%. Don't have Face Book or Twitter accounts, so have no clue there.

*Edit* Notifications appear along the very bottom. I have all sound notifications active.

*Edit2* It shows a separate icon for each notification with a number in front; uses micro size versions of the symbols from the start screen. Xbox Live messages 100% shown on start screen as a number over the tile, still unsure about lock screen.
[Focus General] simbadogg:
okay...so when you're in other programs, say maps...you get the blue toast notifcation when you get emails? i have never once received one. just vibration and sound
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
Missed called show phone, new voice mail shows phone with casset tape on it.

While in call, apps, maps, email, messaging, I get the alert tone I selected.

Xbox Live messages can take quite a while to post to the live tile on start screen, but they do post in form of a small black number top right of live tile.

I'm sorry, but i'm not familar with blue toast notifications. Please explain.
[Focus General] simbadogg:
these are toasts

http://www.anandtech.com/show/3982/windows-phone-7-review/5
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
Ahhh.. OK, just didn't know what they were called. In maps, Zune, IE, and with screen lock or in calls you get the blue toast notifications for atleast calls, missed call/voice mail, text messages and emails. Not sure about Xbox Live messages, facebook, twitter stuff.
[Focus General] simbadogg:
weird...i've yet to see a toast notification for anything other than text messages so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
This is an hboot flashable version of the Desire-Z ROM built for the G2. If you're rooted and know what you're doing with hboot, read on. To install, rename the download to PC10IMG.zip and place it at the root of your sdcard, then reboot into hboot. It'll flash ONLY SYSTEM and BOOT. I'll post more details shortly but everything I am testing works. Sorry for the crappy picture, I am frantically typing to make things happen. ;)

http://twitgoo.com/1qjp6v

Quick overview (this is way below my normal release quality but I've not had much time and am rushing a bit):

Pre-rooted with Superuser from ChainsDD.

Busybox installed in /system/xbin.

Removed apps to allow the ROM to fit on the G2:

AdobeReader.apk

amazonmp3.apk

FlashLitePlugin.apk

FlashLitePlugin.odex

install_flash_player.apk

Maps.apk

Quickoffice.apk

SoundHound_Freemium_2.1.2b.apk

Stock.apk

Stock.odex

teeter.apk

teeter.odex

YouTube.apk

Most of these apps can be installed from the Market. Everything else is completely stock as it exists on the Desire-Z.

THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR JOE AVERAGE USER. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HBOOT FLASHING THEN STEER CLEAR UNTIL WE HAVE A FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY.

LINKS PULLED AS THIS ROM IS NOW OBSOLETE. Visit the following thread instead:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
nice job, but damn work. i just got home and was planning on doing this, so u beat me to it ;)...

did u modify system so it would fit on g2 partition?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
That's exactly what I did. Uploading another version now which has less removed and is pre-rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baba1472:
rmk....Ive been following what youve been saying about the rom on irc since sense 2.0 on my g2 is all i wanted.

could you possibly post a "change log" which would just list things that youve removed from the rom that people might want to know (search app, etc).

Also, is the rom working as fast as the g2 worked or is it like when we first put sense on the g1?

Third to last question, in case something goes wrong with installation or if I want to go back to the vanilla, is there a rom I can flash to go back to vanilla or am I stuck with desire z rom until someone makes one? Also do we have to clear data/cache like we normally do before flashing another rom or what?

second to last question, by installing in hboot, you mean rebooting into hboot then going into recovery to install or what do you mean?

Last question, are the keys mapped correctly or are they desire keys?

Please answer these questions, I want to make sure I know what I am getting into before I plunge. Thanks for all the work!!

P.S - sorry for all the questions.

-Baba
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
sweet. another quick question, i see were only flashing system and boot. did u do a factory reset before flashing so it wont boot loop. if not wouldnt it be like going from aosp to sense without wiping?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xile6:
I dont like senes but like learning. I thought the z and vision had the same chip? So shoukdnt it had fit in the nand? Also eont the pc10img flash a lock down hboot? Or you swapped it out and having s-off means it doesnt look for a sign?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:
has anybody tried wifi calling on this rom? i know prior to the ota it didnt work, let me know if it works with this sense
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Lol he hasn't done anything to it yet just wait a little

Should be fast, as it's the same hardware

Go to the OTA manual update thread in development, download the rom, and flash through recovery

Yeah of course, it's completely different software. Rule of thumb= similar software(plain froyo->plain froyo), no wipe; different software(sense -> stock, stock -> 2.3, etc), wipe

no, installing though hboot..... we still don't have a custom recovery, put the rom on your sdcard and it should detect it

probably, haven't tried it yet I want rooot with it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tornado9015:
Very cool, glad to see somebody putting a better firmware on the G2. Hope to see rooted version soon.

Also my overclock carry over if I install this firmware?

And a complete noob question probably, sorry. Will all my apps carry over?

I'm on it right now and it's pretty awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gerson2407:
Does wifi calling work?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MARINERMOOSE241:
I can change the ring tone just fine. No force close here. I am going in to the HTC personalize menu, then ringtone at the bottom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:

ok mms works, but the pics come out as tiny little thumbnails.. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yeah I definitely rushed it out to get us something new to play with and start identifying issues.

I've actually started working on a flashable zip using clockwork but ran into what I believe is a bug (which has been reported to koush). Basically, it doesn't seem possible to flash BOOT (i.e. kernels) via clockwork yet. Anyway, point is I want the same things working as you guys do: MMS, wifi calling, overclockable kernel, etc. They'll come, I just can't promise when.

Those of you familiar with my work on the Incredible know what to expect. For those who do not, check out www.virtuousrom.com.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Not to sound like an ass but i noticed a few just for you to look out for but i appriciate the hard work i love sense...

1. Mms small pic and usuability

2. Tmo vis voicemail

3. I can not change my ringtone no matter how hard i try it fc's every single time i try to change it no matter what

4. Getting alot of H to 3g to Edge to gprs flip flopping.

5. Wifi calling.. i just cant find it let alone get it to work.

Thats all i have so far just to give you a heads up..

And thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k0mpresd:
just fyi for overclocking, i flashed the oc kernel thats already posted in the dev section and it worked fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
All mms on the G2 comes out as small slideshow pics. Even on stock ROM. It's some kind of T-Mobile issue. I can't even get MMS to work at all, even with the settings I copied from my N1.

The H to 3G thing...your phone should stay on 3G (as available), when you start up/downloading (and if HSPA is available), it will switch to H (HSPA) for better throughput. It's just how it works. Switching to Edge and GPRS just depends on your network connection. If it did this with your stock G2 ROM...guess what? It's gonna do it on the Desire ROM, too.

Don't count on WiFi calling working on the Sense ROM...ever. It's a T-Mobile app.

I'm going to try and get back to stock G2 with overclock for now. It was cool to check out Sense for a bit, but too many issues for me. I'm waiting for GINGERBREAD!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
which kernel did use? the new perm one? or the module? or the z module?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Make sure you guys use Desire Z kernels for this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
Yeah, what he said. Once you are running the Desire Z Sense, you might as well head on over to the Desire Z Forum. The G2 stuff mostly won't help you...mostly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] unforgiven512:
Hmm, MMS seems hit and miss, here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PolishDude:
the phone probably now sends the UA of a desire z which tmobile doesnt recognize so it scales the pictures to 128x128 4kb images, had this problem back in the day when i used unlocked nokia phones

Anyone else having issues running titanium? When i first flashed the rom it worked but i just tried to install a backed up app and titanium wouldnt work. It opened a black screen that. Said overview and nothin else and when i pressed menu it gave me the normal list of option including batch, filter, preferences, etc. But when i click on any of them it errors out and the force closes titanium. I tried uninstall and clear data but no go so far. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Illwun11:
If you do a Nand backup using Clockwork Mod prior to flashing I would assume not. Can anyone verify?

Edit: I did a Nand Backup of Desire Z Sense and did a full wipe and restore and got a ton of force closes upon boot. Trying to restore my froyo backup now to see what happens. Fingers crossed...

Edit: Restored froyo from nand backup and everything is perfect, like I never flashed the Desire Rom and still has root.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Illwun11:
I had the same issue. I did a Titanium backup before flash and used it to restore and got the force close while selecting ringtone. I went into clockwork and factory reset then used titanium to only restore certain things like apps, contacts, and certain things as long as they weren't settings that I had from froyo and now no force closes while selecting ringtone. Also backed up sd card, formatted using phone and only coppied back pics, media, docs, backups, etc...did not copy any of the settings or files stored on sd by froyo. Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Illwun11:
I also have mms working. Sent test messages to myself it seems as though the phone resizes the images to send as mms but resizes them extremely small and I can't find any settings to change that...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
Yes, today I installed the desire z rom to try out sense, didn't like it, so restored my backup with rom manager to my stock froyo and everything was just as i left it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k0mpresd:
why? i flashed this one and it works without an issue it seems.

does anyone know why this phone gets recognized as a usb mass storage device in windows now? adb doesnt see it anymore obviously.

Just a heads up if you try and delete system/media/audio file it makes default ringtone go crazy. Mine wouldn't stop so had to reflash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJ ELITE:
i've ran OC'd before on stock FROYO and my battery life was pretty decent.

ever since i flashed to the DESIRE Z rom (plus OC'd), my battery life has drastically decreased.

think it's HTC SENSE?

annnddd since MMS pics are coming out itty bitty, i might as well go back to STOCK.

sad.

nonetheless, awesome effort. it's truly appreciated.

bottom line, i've had NO real problems. it's more of a 'user choice' thing.
