I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I have tried to unroot it and load the original rom back on it and for the life of me I can't. It updates the sappimg just fine in hboot until it gets to system and then I get some sort of error and have to reroot it and flash CM6.1 RC1 back on. I have tried running Universal Androot to unroot it with no success. Well, today I downloaded this nice little app from the Market called z4root by RyanZA(I think that's his name) and low and behold it actually unrooted my phone. I confirmed this by rebooting, opening rom manager app and it told me I need root to use it. I used z4root to reroot with no problems. My question is how would I flash the original T-mobile rom if I use this app to unroot my phone. Could I use the RUU.exe or is there a better way? I really want to go back to stock when the OTA for this phone comes out. I don't need to right now, but I just want to know how and try it so I know I can do it when the time comes. Would it be best to use a goldcard after unrooting to load sappimg? If anyone has any ideas or experience doing this please advise and I appreciate everyone here. This forum is great. I am a noob to Android devices and have been coming here about every day to read, read, read. I have learned so much here. Some of it is still gibberish to me, but I am learning. Thanks all!

When not flash a 32A 'port' of the mytouch 1.1 froyo ROM? It will perform exactly the same as any official update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] housry23:
I was thinking about doing that, but after trying to go back to stock and failing I have kind of made it a challenge to get this done and figure it out. I guess since no one knows what to do I will just keep trying blind and keep reading. Thanks all and have a great day.

Hey, so I'm new to using Bluetooth in general since I've never really bothered with headsets and stuff, but now I have a car that actually can connect to my phone via Bluetooth to stream music/make phone calls, etc.

That said, it's not as simple to turn Bluetooth on/off with this phone as it was with Android (just pull down notifications bar and turn Bluetooth on/off as opposed to going to settings then Bluetooth). I know it's still not that much of a difference in effort in general.

That said, do you think it'd be safe to just leave Bluetooth on all the time? Are there any security concerns I should keep tabs on if I left it on all the time?

It'd just be easier if I could leave Bluetooth on and then have the phone automatically (un)pair with my car every time I go somewhere as opposed to making sure I have Bluetooth on before I start my car and then turning it off once I get to my destination.
[Focus General] burningembers:
It shouldn't be a problem, generally.

Given everything is working as it should, you should have to accept incoming connections, or engage outgoing ones - at least the first time said devices are paired.

In the past, there have been a few cases of security holes in Bluetooth stacks that allow ways of getting past this given the right circumstances...

I leave mine on all the time, with 6-7 phones over the last couple years. I've never had any issues. YMMV.
[Focus General] epidemike:
Does anyone find it annoying that the bootom back, home and search keys do not stay lit up?

I've been looking for a setting that would at least allow it to be dimmed but thats been a no go. I just find it hard to find the buttons with no visual cue nor any physical at that, It almost feels as if Im guessing the location.
[Focus General] burningembers:
Mine don't stay lit up. But coming from a Samsung Fascinate which also has lighting time-out issues, I just sort of waved my hands at it...

They will light back up once you touch one, so you could just run your finger over the search key since that has the least chance of knocking you out of wherever you are...
[Focus General] KonAitor:
I never have problems finding the buttons at night. I actually like that they turn off. Makes the phone look cleaner if your using it in the dark.
[Focus General] FuzzyLogic_FC:
Agree, I've not had an issue finding them when not lit either. Doesn't bother me at all.
[Focus General] mcmexican:
The keys lot staying lit is a Samsung thing. They do the same on the Galaxy S phones like the Epic, Captivate. It was annoying on those phones and yes it is annoying on this phone as well. Yes I agree they should be lit all on the time.

-McMex
[Focus General] Ren13B:
They are spaced far enough apart so being lit isn't that big of deal for me but I wouldn't mind seeing them lit.

I'm using Barnacle as we speak, and I actually just set it up ~5 minutes ago. I'm on CM6.1. I have the "skip wpa_supplicant" setting checked. When you click start to begin the tethering, you need to click "associate" then immediately (on your pc) search for and connect to the Ad-Hoc network that pops up.

Hoping someone had a tip to help me out. Im trying to get my radio updated so that I can properly run skyraider 3.3. I cant seem to get the radio to run in recovery when i try to book from the SD card. Am I missing something here? Any Ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehoovie:
Is your sd card formatted FAT? The most common issue is not having your sd card formatted to FAT 32 , make sure it is for hboot to properly read it.

Is the file name proper? The zip file is case sensitive. Be sure the file name is in upper case before the dot and lower case after the dot.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kipphh:
Its properly formated as FAT. I cant seem to remember i left the name alone was this suppose to be update.zip on the root of the card? right now i have it in a sub file
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehoovie:
The sd card should be FAT32 for hboot to properly see it, the file should be named PB31IMG.zip , and be on the root of the card.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kipphh:
Im pretty sure the SD card is formated correctly because its worked on all other flashes. Its still not taking the new radio even after showing its loading. It is formated as FAT 32. I have tried both the newest radios. When reading from Hboot it flashes bad image several times and then finally says checking the image and then nothing. Any other suggestions..... anyone?

Just to clarify Im trying to get skyraider 3.3.3 working (keeps rebooting on me after flashing it) someone said i needed to upgrade from the 2.05 radio. I have wiped. When it boots up to the setup screen it tells me that ROM manager has to be forced closed and then about 15 sec later it freezes and reboots.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
You flash radios in BOOTLOADER not RECOVERY.

Im sorry I miss spoke I have been in bootloader. Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
If you are 100% sure that you are formatted in FAT32 and have the file name correct then you possibly have the same problem i did which was my stock SD card went bad and I had to get another.

Here's one for ya! I went to a communications store and had my service and EVO 4g switched to Metro PCS. Little did I know they would have to root my phone to do this. They should have told me this. Anyway, they had to revert back to android 2.1 and needless to say I lost all the things I bought this phone for. Is there anyway to get android 2.2 back on my EVO and still have metro PCS service which works fine but keeps coming up with (htc.dbs) or whatever errors?? HHEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!:mad:

2Where can I buy the tv out cable for G2? I saw the htc commercial where it shows the phone plug to an hd tv with an hdmi cable for the phone now I would like to know where to buy this, anyone know please let me know I would love to hook it up to my tv to watch movies on my tv
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
nope we don't have tv out. you could load it up as a usb storage then use it and we might be able to dlna not too sure
[G2 and Desire Z General] bluegizmo83:
Yeah I'm pretty sure it does not have TV out... Unless its hidden deep in the hardware somewhere, like the Nexus One had the FM tuner that modders were eventually able to find, access, and use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidFTW718:
Well I saw the commercial and the phone had tv out there we just need the htc media link and I would like to know where to get it

Here is the commercial

See we do have tv out

But that's DNLA, not a cable too

How can we get "Locations"?
[G2 and Desire Z General] havikx:
its the same phone. and the commercial does clearly state that if you tv isnt dnla compatable, its ok cuz you can use htc media link. it shows the phone with a wire plugged in.

i'm going to keep my eye on this. maybe its a sense thing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
Probably. The screen it shows where they select HDTV has got to be something on the ROM if they're advertising it out of the box. Hopefully in Cyanogen :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] flarbear:
DLNA is a way to send video over the network to media devices. The DLNA sending capability that they showed on the Desire Z is special to HTC sense, but that same capability could appear in a future base Android release (or, possibly, an app), but the G2 does not have DLNA capabilities out of the box.

The wire you saw was not plugged into the phone (DesireZ or G2), it was plugged into their media streaming device. Watch the commercial again. They say the phone can connect to any DLNA device. They then say that most media devices and TVs are becoming DLNA devices now, but if your HDTV does not have DLNA then you can connect the HTC Media Link and that will provide the DLNA receiving services for your TV. They then showed this new box being plugged in (that wasn't a phone)...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anartic:
Is DLNA a software thing then? Or hardware? From reading this thread, it sounds like it's something for sense that could easily be used with a sense rom.

I just tried the above on my Samsung Monitor and the G2 acts as a usb drive only able to open files on the G2.

I'm wondering this too, but for my bell branded desire z! i had an n95 and loved the simplicity of just connecting a cable from the phone to the TV, and stereo.

i learned how to use the DLNA feature in windows media player with my desire z thanks to this tutorial but would prefer a cable so no computer or network is required.

[About XDA developers] xdaid:
I'm starting this thread to let you know about a weird issue i'm having with xda-developers forum, a week has passed but i still haven't found a solution.

Basically, when i load any of the page of this forum my notebook starts playing some annoying beeps, 5 or 6 short (but strong) beeps, something like an alarm!

It looks like a pc's bios/hardware error, but it is not. It ONLY occurs while i'm navigating xda-developers, and in no other case.

Is that weird enough? :confused:

Is there anybody else who gets her/his computer turned into road runner while browsing xda-developers forum?
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
lol!

This sounds really really strange...are you 100% sure it's only on xda? And it's definitely a system/BIOS beep?
[About XDA developers] ranger61878:
One way to solve BIOS issues...get a Mac :D

Sent from the XDA App on my FroYoed Sprint Hero...so forgive possible typos :)
[About XDA developers] xdaid:
thanks for your answers,

unfortunately (or problably i have to say fortunately!) i'm sure it is not a bios problem.

The one and the only condition which leads to these beeps is loading a xda-developers page. No virus, no hardware issues, nothing that i can find.

Actually, searching over the net i found this referred to the 6 beeps or led blinks (from HP site):

"The BIOS authentication error (Blink code 6) is extremely rare. It is the result of a discrepancy between the BIOS and the hardware that is installed on the computer. This error occurs when the BIOS cannot authenticate signatures from the hardware on the system. The purpose of the BIOS authentication is to be sure that no one has tampered with the BIOS on the computer."

But, no new hardware has been installed, and all works flawless except when i'm on xda. Then i really can't believe that loading a page from xda can arouse from sleep some hidden and unsigned hardware in my notebook :)

I will wait a bit for someone who has the same "beeps trouble" with xda.. otherwise i will try with some radical solution (formatting)

[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
If your sound disappears when you turn the speakers down, it's not a BIOS beep. It must be an ad or something at the top of the page that makes the noise.
[About XDA developers] spyrale:
ok, i tried with internet explorer and doesn't beep...so, it is the combination between firefox and xda...how to solve this? any idea?

[About XDA developers] xdaid:
thanks a lot!

It's exactly the solution i was looking for, i use firefox too, i tried lot of things but not the easiest way: trying with another browser!

so, firefox + xda + ads = beeps :)
