Hi ppl!I just installed ROM version: Gen-Y_D2x_R2 WWE.Izgledao was great until I started to restatrtuje, freezes, etc :(. .. I really like this rom Because the program scuts weather on main screen,etc...whether anyone could help me what is the problem or tell me is there has a similar rom that works well...Thanx a lot...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
mtty the baby

You didnt do mtty before you installed this ROM. You NEED to do mtty in order to clear the entire flash partition in your Diamond. Thats why you are experiencing restarts and freezes.

Here is a step by step recovery module. Follow it thoroughly, else you will have the same problems.

Preliminary Step

- Check your SPL / IPL version by reseting your phone with stylus and keep pressing your volume DOWN button, until RGB screen appears.

*If your SPL / IPL is 1.93 flash the HSPL provided here. Else look for a matching HSPL.

- Have you installed HARD-SPL in your diamond. If not install the HARD-SPL 1.93 by Olinex (Attached HERE)

*Credits to Olinex (the duo) for the HSPL.

1. Install mtty / Format your diamond using mtty. Press link below to complete this first step.

2. Install the ROM you want now....

Thats all. You can PM me, but dont expect a quick reply, cos i am not much arnd the forum these days.

Is there "T9" for the pull out physical keyboard? I don't see it.. and I see the option for "Auto-Replace (Correct mistyped words)" but it doesn't seem to do it.

Am I missing something?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sv3nt3k:
No, there is no T9 function for the physical keyboard. Also, I believe T9 was initially designed for texting with the traditional dial-phone set-up so that it's easier and faster than repeatedly pressing the same button more than once to get the third letter. And I think because it's the physical keyboard, you have access to each individual key so there's no reason to give you T9 or a crutch in spelling. That's my take.

The next thing close to that would be using Swype.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyviet:
I should rephrase the original question:

Why doesn't they physical keyboard "Auto-Replace (Correct mistyped words)" when I misspell something? I see the option in settings -- however it does not correct anything.

If the phone freezes after installing a custom-ROM you should try the following:

1. Install a stock-ROM, than hard-reset ,

2. Install the custom-ROM again, than hard-reset.

If this simple method couldn't solve the problem search in the forums for the MTTY-method.

[Venue Pro General] shu8i:
Here's my question:

If you buy the Venue Pro unlocked directly from Dell it would cost you 450 (8gb) to 500 (16gb) dollars...

BUT

if you get it in contract ... you would pay

1. Phone price (199$)

2. activation (30)

3. you could then terminate you contract for 200$

=

430$

now I understand that this 430$ vs 450-500$ is not such a big deal, BUT again sometimes, like right now there are promotions on amazon wireless (hd7 for 99 $) or like right now (every att phone for 0.01 $ -yes even the wp7 ones).

Now my question comes to place... Isn't it more profitable to wait for a good promotion like the att one and buy it from there only to terminate the contract (230 $ vs 450 - 500 $). Even with the current promotion (hd7 for 99$) you would save 200$ on the device (330$ vs 530$).

Now I'm thinking that there must be something wrong with this logic, because it's too big a loopwhole for the carriers and everybody could purchase like this. What is wrong with this logic?

shu8i
[Venue Pro General] ANonymous627:
Some 3rd party retailers will charge you an additional ETF if you cancel your contract that early. Check the contract you sign beforehand otherwise you might end up paying $150-$250 up front plus multiple $200 ETFs which would negate Amy savings and actually cost you more than buying outright.
[Venue Pro General] Sangheili:
You will pay a pro-rated first months bill for the service.

Also I tried to go this way, and Microsoft Store is telling me I have to return the phone in order to cancel the service and then I have to buy a no-contract phone from them.

Just buy it off contract and save yourself a real pain in the ass.
[Venue Pro General] xcracer:
I believe the carrier will generally require you to pay the difference between the full retail and discounted price of the device if you terminate the contract early.

So you may pay $0.01 for the phone up front but you'll still be footing the other $449.99 in order to keep the phone after you pay your early termination fees.
[General Questions and Answers] Jbbrack03:
My big question is, is this possible? Is there anything about the new Windows Phone 7 OS that would keep us from being able to dual boot it on an Android Phone (specifically the Droid X)? I'm never going to switch over to Windows Phone 7, but I wouldn't mind enjoying some of it's features occasionally.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tammer:
So i previously installed hspl3 and updated radio as well as put on an adroid rom...didnt play nice so i removed the android rom and flashed the phone to tmobiles newest image they sent out i believe in october...this is US by the way...now the phone just reboots and reboots and reboots...the only thing i can see that i wasnt able to downgrade was the hspl3 part..i saw an instruction set stating to copy to the sd card an .nbh file and rename it to leoimage or something..but where do i get this nbh file?

any help would be much appreciated.

?? I cant get my internet to work. It just keeps saying to retry and when i try to get on the web it takes me to the mytmobile web page? I need help. Am i missing something im on a non contract 39.99 plan
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Is this with the sim card that came with your tab? I'm really curious. Try calling tmobile and see if they give you another apn setting. Many people are facing the same problem.

[Galaxy Tab General] pulser_g2:
Moved to general as not development
[Galaxy Tab General] ggolemg:
Same results here

I have the even more plus plan on tmobile. Asked the sales rep if I could just keep my plan and usw my current sim, she said I could. Purchased it full price with the intention of using it as a phone (ty everyone here), but after inserting my sim, it showing 3g, all it will go to is thw tmobile site. Wifi works fine for everything after a google signin, just not 2g/3g. Guess I'm taking a drive back there today.
[Galaxy Tab General] rhca50:
I had the same thing happen. I bought it, walked out of the store with it working, but 2 hours later, it just redirects everything (but google) to my.tmobile.com.

I spent hours on the phone, took it back to the store the following day and let then work on it. They eventually opened a ticket with the PDA group. I let that stay open for 24 more hours, then I just returned it. It never did work.

I bought a verizon tab and it's working great.
[Galaxy Tab General] rhca50:
Incidentally, my buddy bought a tmo tab the day after me, and is experiencing the same issue... he is more patient than me, though, and is just hoping they fix it soon.

We both paid full retail and are/were on the $39 no contract plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] tmotech88:
From what I understand tmobile wont allow you to do a non contract line without you credit being ran in the process. They consider it a web connect line and you have to get that data plan. The reps for tmobile aren't explaining it to people which is why I will be returning mine and probably get the Sprint or Verizon tab. I don't understand why a android data wont work but they have found out how to get voice to work with the tab. Its very unfortunate

out of Apple semen came the HTC Evo
[Galaxy Tab General] ggolemg:
So you're saying that there's no hope then. Later today I'm going to find out if it can work with the no-contract plus unlimited plan that I've been on with my g1 for 2 years. Again, I was told that it would work. If not, back it goes. That would really be a shame, but not the first time I've been lied to by t-mobile service reps.

Tried to root and now HTC screen with 4 warnings in corners.

Can anyone provide me with instructions to restore my phone so I can try again?

Downloaded an RUU3.30 zip file... but don't know what to do now.

Trying to use adb I get device not found. Installed ALL the drivers
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulwoll:
I appreciate the link... but don't know what you want me to do with it? I can't seem to find a relevant post. I am trying to use fastboot... but that doesn't do anything and ADB keeps saying device not found but fastboot seems to reboot my device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
Try renaming the RUU to "PC3IMG.zip" (without the quotes), put it on the root of your sdcard, and then power down the phone.

Then turn the phone on by holding down the Volume Down button while tapping the Power button. The phone should automatically search for and find the PC3IMG file and attempt to load it.

If the above does not work, you will need to download the official HTC RUU.exe and run it from a Windows Computer while the phone is in fastboot. If the first method does not work, the second one surely will. It will bring your phone back to unrooteed stock at which point you can try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulwoll:
Thanks for your reply and renaming idea... problem is fastboot is the only thing that seems to be able to communicate with the phone... so how do I put that on the sdcard?

I appreciate your time... but currently am unfamiliar with this part.

OK, thanks. So I have to drive an hour out to Frys to get an adapter... is that my only option? Sigh... Thought their was a way with fastboot.exe to load or reflash an image? Or some other RUU exe... I don't see an RUU 3.30.651.2 exe anywhere online and I have looked for an hour.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
What hBoot version do you have? I was under the impression only the eng one had fastboot.

Some kingston cards come with a micro SD to USB adapter, it's almost worth it to buy that card just for the adapter IMO. They work great
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulwoll:
I bought a new evo 3.30.651.2 with new HBOOT 2.02 (annoying)... tried to follow the root instructions and now my phone is hosed. In the process of installing everything there is fastboot.exe / adb.exe and other utilities that were installed along with unrevoked-forever etc. But the tool seemed to fail near the end and ended up with the black HTC screen.

fastboot.exe will reboot my phone and accesses it... I was wondering if I can use it somehow to boot a new kernel or flash a stock image? Really need to get this rooted.

I know there's starting to be a lot of discussion on best methods to perma-root, backups, custom roms, etc.; however, the one thing that I've noticed sticking out was the S-Off 'hack'.

I'm still following all the various threads as best I can and granted, I don't have any hands-on experience yet if S-Off is not required to flash custom roms or do backups/restore and such after perma-root (from what I've read - correct me if I'm wrong), so what exactly is the benefit of doing so?

Everything is explained there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CWolfCW:
I did read... apparently I'm blind though or it wasn't there previously. =>_>=

[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
it sometimes a god trick to check the g2 forum to I really hope that some day the Hz forum and g2 forum will be one combined vison forum ..

and

When you go into the bootloader, you will see a notification saying "S-ON". This stands for "Security On" and it means that write protection is being turned on during the boot process and recovery images will not be applied without a valid signatur so when s-off you can use custom recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rtorbs:
I have a a question as i dont fully understand s-off either......

Is this soley to do with how clockwork or the desire z works ? By that i mean that on my hero im 's-on' and its never been an issue flashing different recovery images....or is it only required for the initial flash from stock recovery to custom as your using the bootloader?

I know that on my hero i could flash a recovery from a recovery so there was no requirement to use the bootloader.....

cheers in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
You bought a house (phone), they didn't give you the keys (password). Are you just going to sit there outside the front door for the rest of your life, or are you going to break in (hack)?

[G2 and Desire Z General] rtorbs:
?? Im struggling to see your point....no ones questioning the benefits of rooting or breaking in as you've put it? :confused:

I believe the thread was asking about the relevance of enabling S-Off....
[G2 and Desire Z General] r0cky0790:
Basically what the man is trying to say is why be a prisoner to the smartphone developers and except what they give you when you know for a precise fact your device is capable of doing more. Having root access allows you to have full customization of your phone in addition to performing way faster then the stock hardware that they give you. Don't be follower, but if a whole smartphone community say its worth don't ask questions, do it. Then you'll learn something.

This thread was asking about the relevance/importance/purpose of the S-Off feature....and neither of you have answered anything to do with it

Anyone can follow instructions, but not everyone understands what it is they are doing.....and its by asking questions (like the one posted on this thread!!!) that enables us to better understand and apply in future.....now if everyone made posts like you have we definately wont learn anything! lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
If you hero is s-off then there will be certain things you can't do, lie change you splash screen.

However s-on back then was no as strong protection as s-on now, back then we were able to flash a new recovery and h-boot easily even if s-on but now htc have perfected the protection to make it a lot harder, basically we are very restricted in what we can "hack" while s-on.

In Lenny we trust,.... to say it in plain English.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rtorbs:
Thanks Lenny, nice explanation now I understand why and not just how...
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
No, you're not understanding. ROOT is like having access to the back yard (in addition to the front), because the gate was unlocked. s-off is like having the key to the front door.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Actually, 32A/B s-off and s-on are very similar to vision s-off and s-on. And similarly, it tended to be s-off in SPL ALONE.... i.e. the OLD permaroot method for vision.

Go look into DREAM JTAG thread, it explains it all. You need s-off to, for example, write hboot when all you've got is oemsbl -- and jtag was used to *temporarily* s-off the 32B's in order to accomplish that.

And BTW: You've got your ON's and OFF's reversed.... S = security... so S-ON = SECURITY ON = locked out. S-OFF = SECURITY OFF = full access.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rtorbs:
Nice analagy mate but you still havent told me sh*t lol.....I dont care what its 'like', I wanted to know what it was 'for' .....having come from a device/generation of phone that didnt utilise it the same......f*ck me lol

Look I appreciate what your saying but your missing the point.....still

I wont humor you any more, Lenny's explanation was spot on, ill now turn s off, and not only that, ill understand why I'm turning it off!

Non of this key to the closet ****e :-) lol

Though, if the original poster is like me, then this is the first place he's read that S-Off/On means Security-Off/On.

Installed Cognition, failed, restored with Odin to AT&T 2.1, Need help getting Rogers

Hi, I'm trying to get my phone to go back to Rogers default firmware, and I flashed with Odin (thinking that would work) but it gave me AT&T firmware, and now I'm stuck with a Captivate that doesn't connect to data and isn't running the proper firmware. I've been trying for hours to fix this to no avail, and I'm just about ready to throw this phone in the garbage. Any step-by-step guides (with the tools on how to use them) on how to restore Rogers original stock rom and firmware?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercath:
I'm assuming you used the one-click Odin downloader? That will indeed restore you to a stock 2.1 AT&T firmware.

Find and download Odin (not the one-click version), then use it to flash the following firmware:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
nope, until there is a Rogers ODIN dump that can flash a rogers param.lfs (where this image is stored) you are stuck with that AT&T splash screen. The one-click tools are designed for use with the i897 and flash a new param.lfs which can't be modified on the phone (LGSilva did some tampering with it, but I wouldn't personally recommend it). You would need an ODIN image (or possibly a bmlwrite/redbend restore) to get this back.

Either way, you would need a dump of the original param.lfs from an untouched Rogers Captivate to get this back. as the only image I know of right now doesn't contain that, you are SOL until someone finds one that does contain it.

You download both.

-Open Odin, plug your phone in download mode, select the pit file as PIT and tar file as PDA, Click start

-Let it reboot and then copy the ROM onto your internal sd.

-Download and install ClockWorkMOD, open it and choose Install ROM from SD.
