[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] neosto:
Goodmorning or afternoon for some of you.

I have downloaded the 2 files as told in the opening post. Z.ko and hbooteng.img When i start terminal emulator and go to "insmod/sdcard/wpthis-Z.ko" it keeps saying file not found! It's driving me nuts. I have permrooted my DZ (euro) But i would like to overclock my cpu. Anybody has a suggestion for me?? thanx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
there's a space separating the command ("insmod") from the path ("/sdcard/wpthis-Z.ko")

insmod[SPACE]/sdcard/wpthis-Z.ko

BEWARE, be sure to read everything twice, and write it exactly as detailed

PS: there's a new visionary out (R14) that will do this for you automatically,

I have not tested it, I will update the guide later after testing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] neosto:
Yeeehaaaaa, that did it !! Thanx soo much. Only thing is, that when i start the phone again it comes with some windows that says "sorry but the app visionary+ has stopped bla bla. Etc etc (several programs it says) Okay now, how can i overclock my cpu? Do i need to buy an app from Market?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
boot to bootloader, restore to factory defaults reset, and your problems will dissappear (root and S-OFF will stay)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
to go S-ON flah the stock official HTC ROM with the official RUU

(you can find them here in this forum)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] neosto:
Uhhh, sorry. Boot to bootloader?? I dunno what you mean? I'm a noob in the Andriod system. :confused:

SORRY NEVER MIND !! I FOUND IT......DIDN"T HAD MY GLASSES ON!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
hahaha gotcha !!

I was expecting that question

please check the FAQ (post 2 of this thread) and you'll become a pro :)

Gtrab: I noticed the "working" above. Do you have an updated EURO ROM that is now flashing to the the BELL NAM 1.34.666.5?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ribe10:
Thanks a lot! I've tried and it's S-on again :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
I've been working, still not safe, sorry this ***** is harder than expected !! :D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] neosto:
Hahahahahahahaha DAMN!!! Okay some other thing. I lost some apps, no worries i just download them again! But.........my superuser is gone. And when i try to root my phone again it says "allready rooted". Now what to do?

;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
download SU (superuser) again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elmadhoun:
Hey gtrab, I just went through your post and couldn't leave without saluting your work. Amazing how devoted you are to this. Keep up the good work and hopefully you'll get what you wish out of it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Very much appreciate your diligence in ensuring the survival of our beloved DZs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
All commands typed into terminal emulator were double checked and were typed correctly, i do have root and S OFF but it keeps rebooting!!

i tried applying S OFF did exactly as you said. typed the command hit Sync, then typed exit and went to homescreen. Powered off, powerd on..NOW MY PHONE KEEPS REBOOTING???? keeps going to "htc quietly brilliant" then shuts off turns on does it again and again!

edit** i can access bootloader using the volume down and power button

My S is Off just verified in htc bootloader settings.

When i boot into bootloader, it shows a quick couple lines of text saying "no image" and some other lines....thne disappears in 1-3 seconds and send me to the normal bootloader screen where it shows, Hboot, fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, system info, image crc.

edit* something about no pc10 or pcdiag img or wrong image.

I AM S OFF for those wondering
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
hmm instead of Fastboot at the top, i have it saying HBOOT then fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, system info, image crc.

I see this IMAGE

Referenced Here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9112375&postcount=142

He said his is working....i did everything like the instructions said and get the above image....so why is my phone keep rebooting?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
POSSIBLE CAUSE:

did you check the MD5 chacksum of your hboot download ??

a corrupted downloaded file may be a possible cause

WHAT TO DO ??

FIRST chance: try selecting "factory reset"

SECOND thing to try: download your RUU and flash your official firmware (it includes the stock recovery)

THIRD chance: follow the links to fastludeh's un-bricking guides located at the endo of the first post

select "factory reset"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
Attempting to factory reset *crossing Fingers*

EDIT******** OMFGGG...thank you so much....Give me your PAYPAL right now, i am donatiing a portion of my hard earned money towards you, also would you mind pming your email for msn or aim? or w/e you guys use :)

BTW could you please explain why my phone would reboot constantly? when everyone elses worked?

edit* would rooting my phone cause this to happen? with that hboot file?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
I'm glad to be helpful

Regarding why this happened, well, millions of variables between one phone and another, one user and another, weather conditions, static charges, your god's mood (if you have one :D), etc... sometimes it remains a mistery ;)

First thing I would do is downlaod ROM Manager from the Market and tell it to flash clockworkmod recovery, then do a NANDroid backup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Man gtrab, you really need to stop telling people to flash the offical pc10img. He has a g2 which is I'm assuming post OTA, and had s-off. I'm really glad the factory reset got it for him. Had he flashed the pc10 he would have been screwed. s-on, factory recovery, nonbootable, an no way to recover without htc keys!

If his hboot was messed up, then it would not boot into anything. Once a device is s-off the battle is won. Anything can be flashed manually from fastboot w/s-off. Flash clockwork, wipe and flash rom w/root and be done with it...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
I know mate, I know you are right, but when somebody asks for support I automatically assume it's a Desire Z.

This is the Desire Z forum and this thread is about rooting the Desire Z, so I automatically assume it is a Desire Z, and people don't bring more information.

Next time I will kindly ask first "hi, I will try to help, is your phone a Desire Z or an iPhone" LOL
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
actually he was incorrect, i am using a Desire Z (gtis right), but posted in theG2 forums because sometimes over here its a ghost town haha.

soumm...since i had the hboot problem and that was correlated to root...and i had done S-off done correctly...i should probably stay way from here? cause i had doneall the steps correctly and it gave me the bootscreen loop(i dont know if that was ROOT related or S-OFF related)

:confused::confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Hey my bad, guess I should have done a little more research myself before spouting off. I don't remember what exactly u did, but things can get correpted. You should still be s-off at this point, get clockwork installed, and from this point just flash roms with root built in and you should be fine.

Gtrab, again my bad. Just my opinion here though, even with desire z, shouldn't have people flash the ruu/pc10img. Once s-off, everything can be done manually with fastboot and clockwork, this is the safest way. My biggest concern is when a OTA for the z comes out, the old ruu will cause the same prob us g2 people are currently running into. That and any cross brand flashes will do the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
hmm. butwhat if i wanted to make a current nandroid backup? before i flash a rom? then i guess i would have to root using the hboot method? can anyone link me to a Stable hboot file? so i dont runinto the corrupt boot loop again. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kev-Lo:
I succeeded to S-OFF last time but Recovery is not working, so I flash back to stock ROM with RUU..(I'd expect RUU will flash the kernal, recovery as well, instead of just the ROM)

after that I do all the stuff again.

when I go to the step to 'insmod /sdcard/wpthis-Z.ko', it gives me the below error.

insmod: init_module '/sdcard/wpthis-Z.ko' filed (Exec format error)

Same case when I push the file into /data/local/ and all the following script dont work so I cannot S-OFF again...(I have checked the md5 sum and the downloads should be complete.)

Does anyone know the reason?

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!

Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file

the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.

I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.

couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] timbo1083:
I'm willing to try. I have already backed up. Do I just do a normal push?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] option94:
Its funny, all the people with a vibrant want nothing more than to get rid of touchwiz, and here we are adding it.

I tried pushing it, and i am not getting it to install. anyone have better luck.

(i am referencing the the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] HeavyComponent:
Thanks downloading now directly to my phone.

EDIT: The launcher is a little slow when I scroll thru the icons. Plus the widgets doesn't want to install so I removed the whole thing.

Thanks anyway!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] HeavyComponent:
VibrantOwnr,

In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.

TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
oh okay. i got that one to install too.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] abcdavidefg:
My gf has a vibrant and she love the touchwiz. I like it a lot too is just personal preference.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] SCossio:
Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....

can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

To be quite honest the only real thing I want from the Vibrant (besides the gorgeous screen...and if you know how to port that over be my guest =p lol) is the music player and the application drawer (panels). OH and the Vibrant dialer.

I guess the whole thing lol?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
I had a vibrant too as for the list of things you mentioned this is what i use... music player- poweramp is far better then the vibrant, app drawer i use ADW and there is a setting to switch between vertical and horizontal screens, but the dialer i jus use the one that comes in the iced glacier rom
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VibrantOwnr:
I think we need a touchwiz port...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aiwapro:
Does anyone have the browser from the Samsung Vibrant. I like the way when you click in a field on a webpage to type into it, it brought up a window to type into. When typing on the MT4G, and other phones, the text that I type in the field shows up in the field, but it is hard to read at times, because of size. I hope you know what I mean.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Agazzy:
For me,

- The Samsung Widget's don't show (either I skipped something or.. it's just like that).

- App Drawer is a bit laggy, but it seems like it works really well and I was able to edit where the icons should be, and whatever.

- Able to edit home many home pages there are, it scrolled smoothly.

- I wasn't able to choose how I wanted to view the apps (like in ABC order, self-customization, etc).

I'm sticking to LauncherPro, lol.

im pretty sure we might get a port later on. someone ported it to the mytouch slide so idk..
[HD2 General] Skeleton:
I have used a HTC TouchPro-1 with pleasant satisfaction for its OS stability. I would only need to reboot perhaps once a week or after two weeks.

Then I had a HTC TouchPro-2 with much dissatisfaction for its OS stability. I would need to reboot perhaps once a day or after two days.

For the past couple of months I have been using the HTC HD2; I am very delighted with its stability. It seems I DON'T EVER NEED TO REBOOT. (OK, so I reboot about once a fortnight but mainly out of good intention rather than necessity.)

...

Are other users of the HD2 finding excellent stability?

1) How often do you need to soft reboot?

2) What are the causes leading to the need for the reboot?
[HD2 General] sniff15:
i generally reboot every 2-3 weeks unless something forces me to reboot like uninstalling a program.

the cause i usually battery drain, battery just for some reason stats dieing really quickly. so i reboot and she's good to go again.

and so you have an idea of usage.

i drive for a living and use my hd2 as my gps (up to 10hrs a day)

i usually play atleast an hour of games, while waiting.

make around 20-50 phone calls a day

send around 100-150 text daily (i'm addicted)

use the wifi early in the morn and night for about 1 hour

it is my alarm clock and calender.

read comic books on it every now and then

check the news & weather daily
[HD2 General] troed:
I reboot automatically every week after SPB backup, softreset after install of a new app and thats it.

Once in a while my HD 2 hangs under special circumstances: in my office, when HSPA reception is blocked in a certain room and mail, calendar sync and weather panel call for an update simultaneously it won't wake up anymore and battery is drained quickly. Batt out and in solves the problem then.

Otherwise it is superstable now ( at low ambient temperatures). in hot summer sometimes freezes because of high batt temp more than 45 degrees centigrade.

Right now I have to reboot more often because of this time sync problem .... grrrrrrrrrrrrr
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Apart from upgrading Radio ROMs (now on 2.12), the ROM (to 1.66WWE from T-Mobile UK 1.48), Installing software (which require rebooting) and the occasional flat battery (my fault), then I have only had a couple of resets since I got my phone in February.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
i soft reset daily but thats mainly because Im constantly tweaking the hell out of this thing.

Id imagine it could easily go at least a week though if I could leave it alone.

Not like thats gonna happen though.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] killerkhatiby009:
Does anyone have the bare naked ROM version 4D (the second to last verison of the ROM as the last version was buggy and things didnt work) made by freeza that was discontinued a while ago? I find it to be the fastest and cleanest ROM available. If you could upload it to mediafire or megaupload or such that would be great. I deleted the file and the download from the original thread is broken now.
[Android Software Development] xenspidey:
I've noticed that some update.zips include patch files. I've done quite a bit of reading up on what these patches are and how they work... I just can't find anywhere to explain how to create them. It would be extremely useful for myself and I'm sure others to make our own patch files (i.e. someapp.apk.p) to, lets say change a few graphics in several apk's in a single zip file. Anyone able to shed some light on this before i start trying to reverse engineer the applypatch code from Google?
[Android Software Development] xenspidey:
Does anyone have any insight?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Do you have an example update.zip file with a patch that I could look at?
[Android Software Development] xenspidey:
Thanks for the reply, here is an update.zip. all of the patches I've looked at start with "IMGDIFF2" and most have some "BSDIFF4##" mixed in there as well.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AOFCEKLW

Here is a imgdiff.c file in which the commented section sheds a little light on it. Although i believe that after 2.1 IMGDIFF1 was replaced with IMGDIFF2.

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/2.0/build/tools/applypatch/imgdiff.c
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Well, thanks for providing me the info, but looking into it, it looks like this has little value beyond OEM updates and so forth where it can be guaranteed that the ROM is pristine as it seems that this does diffs directly on the flash image itself.
[Android Software Development] xenspidey:
Thanks for taking the time to look into it for me. theoretically however, couldn't you use this for individual apk's? It appears that the directory structure in the zip would allow you to patch anything. The reason i am looking into this is to change an icon in a group of apk's and then just flash a small update.zip of patches. I know that there may be other ways of doing this but I'd like to try if for no other reason to prove to myself it can be done.

Sorry if I'm incorrect in this, just trying to learn.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
My take on reading the referenced file is that this patches a raw disk image. This would only work if the image is pristine (not been added to or changed in anyway). The first paragraph reads:

/*

* This program constructs binary patches for images -- such as boot.img

* and recovery.img -- that consist primarily of large chunks of gzipped

* data interspersed with uncompressed data. [...]

I don't see anyway to patch individual files in this way, and especially in an image such as the data partition that will be completely different on users' devices.
