[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maldito.boss:
Is it free ap

send it from the Galaxy System Core ....dont mess with it
[Desire HD General] Silentplanet:
I've recently bought a HTC desire HD and I'm really dissapointed with the vodaphone branding basically forced upon it. I was looking to install a stock rom of sorts to the device and was wondering if someone could give me a quick link to the guides and order that i'd have to do stuff in.

As I understand it I need to root (not sure if I have to permenantly do so) my phone, and then flash with a stock rom. I'm having a hard time finding a stock rom and also information on whether installing this stock rom would allow me to automatically update, would there be any differences to buying a stock HTC desire HD from a shop.

The rom currently installed is the one for the AU vodaphone Desire HD

Just after the equivalent unbranded one, and any additional steps required to remove the vodaphone filth.
[Desire HD General] Obraxis:
I didn't think Vodafone were branding them quite yet. I got mine from Vodafone UK a few weeks ago and I've got zero branding at all on it.
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
agreed I have no branding either and I have had 3 DHD's. I was also assured by a VF staff member that all DHD come directly from HTC sealed and VF do not open the box ever before sending out to its customers.
[Desire HD General] Silentplanet:
Managed to sort this out, yeah the aussie ones seem to come loaded with rubbish that's unremovable >.<

I ended up loading one of the UK WWE roms and it's working fine now :D

For anyone curious and new to the process like I was.. I used the perma root method using VISIONary and then I simply ran the setup file of the rom on my PC and it did all the work. Took a little working out but was suprisingly simple.

IF your device isnt rooted then you won't be able to install the rom, it will come up with a user error (somthing along the lines of wrong user id)
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
What "rubbish" ? Amazon MP3 ? QuickOffice ? SoundHound ? Facebook ? Twitter ? Peep ? That is "HTC rubbish", not "Vodafone rubbish" :).
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Do you really hav to root the phone do debrand it? Previous devices, such as my Desire, only required a Goldcard present to allow flashing any of the HTC Roms.
[Desire HD General] althon64fx:
a bunch of apps which are web links which directs you to nowhere....
[Desire HD General] RaindancerAU:
A "Games" app - really a link that leads to a crappy Vodfone Australia website

A "Music" app - as above

A "News" app - as above

A "Sport" app - as above

A "Vodafone" app - as above

Would be nice to remove them and reclaim those names in the app drawer.

I might look for the UK rom myself.
[Desire HD General] Silentplanet:
Yeah I did try using a Goldcard but it didn't work for me, may have been user error not quite sure.

As for the "rubbish" apps, just the weblinks that link to the main vodaphone site and a boot logo that's rather slow (atleast it felt like it was slowing startup down).

The HTC stuff is fine, I can live with that.. but broken voda links were driving me nuts!
[Desire HD General] Sylpher:
Over and above the links and apps, Vodafone has also put in a splash screen on boot (which I think actually slows down the overall boot process by a few seconds). I'm very keen on flashing a new ROM but I'm worried by warranty issues since there doesn't appear to be any Australian Vodafone ROMs available as of yet...

Any tips on what else can be done? Are we able to create a backup of the current ROM somehow?

EDIT: I just read through another thread and noticed the boot animation can be altered. I used root explorer to navigate to the directory

'system\customize\resources' and found the Vodafone boot. Unfortunately Root explorer isn't letting me edit that file as it is 'read-only'. I have perm-rooted my phone and granted SuperUser access...
[Desire HD General] BigDook:
So you flashed using a stock WWE? Which version? Also, were you able to get the OTA update OK?

I flashed mine using a Goldcard recently, and all worked fine, but the OTA has appeared to break my wifi.

Also, i can also back this guy up, Vodafone AU brand the HTC Desire HD's. :)
[Desire HD General] Bakso:
Remember that you need to perm root again after you flash it with wwe.. Then do the ots update
[Desire HD General] Silentplanet:
I'll post a link to the rom I used after my internet uncaps but It should be listed in the desire hd developers forum. [ROM] in the thread title.. one of the popular threads.

Edit: Can't link the thread so I've pasted it's name instead [ROM]Ace Test & Stock ROMS
[Desire HD General] FitzysN6:
I am in the same boat. I also cannot edit in the 'resources' folder. I have uninstalled Root Explorer and re-installed, but still no luck.

Anyone have any idea's on how to do this ? I am per-rooted also.

Cheers

Fitzy
[Desire HD General] Zanthius:
Anyone want to write up a how to for us noobs? :)

i.e. where do I get the stock rom from?
[Desire HD General] samchilla:
I just did this with my Three branded ROM using Root Explorer, in /system/customize/resource/ there was a HUTCH_bootanimation.zip and a bootanimation.zip

I just clicked the Mount R/W button up in the top right hand corner and renamed the bootanimation.zip to HUTCH_bootanimation.zip

Should be similar on Vodafone

You can also unzip play with the logo and rezip then move it to the sdcard and with Root Explorer put it back in /system/customize/resource/

I would like to know which file points to HUTCH_bootanimation.zip (or whatever) as the boot animation zip and be able to just change that instead
[Desire HD General] mox123:
thanks for this, im getting a vodafone branded one tommorow and they are putting firmware on it with all the crap vodafone 360 etc. which no one wants or cares about,
[Desire HD General] silashack:
I had one of these, rooted it and installed LeeDROID 1.2

Now it is mine and no Vodafone influence :)

Just be wary or removing ANY old app when you do root, some may have dependencies, some cooks say it is better to freeze an app rather than delete just in case.
[Desire HD General] cubim:
My DHD is permrooted. I deleted the "Hutch_bootanimation.zip" cause i dont want 3 logo at bootscreen but "Hutch_bootanimation.zip" is automatically recovered after restart.

can you show me how to permanently delete "Hutch_bootanimation.zip". I am using root explorer.
[Desire HD General] samchilla:
did you press the Mount R/W button on the top right corner of root explorer?

does your phone have S-OFF?
[Desire HD General] cubim:
how can i tell if my device is S-off
[Desire HD General] samchilla:
You can tell by booting your phone in bootloader, it tells you at the top if its S ON or S OFF

its probably S ON.

I think its probably going to be easier for you to just install the latest stock firmware, which comes without any branding from Three or Vodafone
[Desire HD General] FitzysN6:
Again, I am Perm-rooted and s-off, but still cant mount the system folder as r/w.

I have done the clockwork Mod, and downloaded the CyanogenMod-6.1 for Desire HD: V6.1.0-RC1 (11/29/2010) .. via Rom Manager. But I am still not sure what advantages it has over the stock ROM ??

I might ask this quest in a seperate thread, but I will come back her to see if anyone has any ideas why I cant write to the system folder.

Cheers

P.S. samchilla, I am in Adelaide also.
[General Questions and Answers] bamit99:
I am looking for a tweak\tool\registry hack (if possible) to have a Charge Only Mode for Windows Mobile 6.5 if at all it is possible. Most of the times, I am at office using my HD2 (Dual boot with 6.5 and DarkStone Android ;)) connected to the Laptop and it would be great if I can just connect it to my laptop without choosing either of the three options

1. ActiveSync

2. USB Storage Mode

3. Internet Sharing

P.S : I did lot of search for this option but was unable to find it and hence started this thread...but I will be more than happy if anyone can redirect me to an existing thread if any, for the same issue.
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
When your phone is charging off the laptop do you actually use any apps on it?

I'm like you in that I spend 2 days a week with my phone charging from the laptop, but I never use it for anything other than phone calls, so selecting disk drive does the job for me.

Any apps I'd need, I'd make sure were installed on the device.
[General Questions and Answers] Shreyas Jani:
Better use the active sync or the mass storage mode..As it is you wont be needing to install apps on your memory card thanks to the massive storage of the HD2 compared to the older WM devices...This shouldn't be a problem IMHO...

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Ive got a really easy fix for this, just use a different cable, you can get cables or adaptors that will charge only and wont sync. When you want to sync just change the cable or take off the adaptor.

btw... such an adaptor is only £2.50 from amazon for my phone ;)
[General Questions and Answers] agrickard:
This doesn't stop the action as such, but when you connect your phone to PC, with the 3 options you listed, there should be a a check box at the bottom "Don't ask me again", so whatever you choose will automatically happen next time (choosing USB storage will therefore not ativate ActiveSync/Device Centre on your PC. This can also be found under Settings->Other (miscellaneous settings)->USB to PC (see attachment).

Or, just use a wall socket charger? :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] bamit99:
Hi,

Thanks for your replies ! The reason I asked this question is because I do not have a Data Plan on Phone. I only use Wifi at home and office and Active Sync kills it. Data storage mode won't let me use the Storage which I kinda need (Don't ask me why? :D) and ofcourse Internet sharing Mode just sends the phone into a crazy 'Connecting 3G Network'...loop.

Anyways, I think using the Charge Only Cable should do the trick for now..But I still feel that this mode will be helpful for few rares like me...Love tis mode in Android.
[General Questions and Answers] agrickard:
ActiveSync does not kill my Wifi - make sure the 'Allow wireless connections on device...' is checked under File->Connections Settings. Also ActiveSync should allow your phone to use your PC's internet connection (pass through) anyway.

The other thing to try is to delete the mobile device from within ActiveSsync as if you've never synced it before and when you next connect it it will ask you to set up a relationship but click cancel and - viola - should now just charge.
[General Questions and Answers] bamit99:
No "Allow Wireless Connection on Device" option. I am using Windows 7..:( Not sure if it is present in WMDC.

ActiveSync Passthrough does not work..I am on a encrypted network with authentication based Proxies..whole bunch of them..:(...

I do not want to kill the ActiveSync relationship since it syncs everything with my PC.

I think I am bothering a lot over this stupid requirement..:) so I will just close this thread (If I can) but if I find anything I will post it here, for someone else who might be in similar situation.

Thanks anyways...XDA rocks !!! :)

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo-havic:
Upon rebooting of my HD7, many times it will show the HTC logo, then go straight to a screen showing the device being plugged into a pc. It will continue to do this regardless of how many times I reboot. The only way out of it is to reboot into the bootloader by pressing power and volume down, and then rebooting from there. Ive tried to plug it into a pc and let the zune software reflash the whole thing, but it complains that there was a problem with the restore... and when I do get it to reboot, there are NO probelms at all! (Besides the memory problem with The Harvest crashing out to the tiles like everyone else it seems). Has anyone else had this problem? Weird thing is, the first phone the TMobile sales rep brought out did the same thing! I wonder if its some kind of problem with the actual bootloader?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:

I'm guessing there was a bad batch somewhere, a very limited batch as you're the only other person I've seen say this
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pittphan:
FYI. I've had this happen too. I had to pull the battery to get it fixed.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul Nur:
Same problem, if the phone dies and you turn it back on you get "connect your phone to computer" screen (and the phone loops turning off then back on to the same screen, and then repeats); and if you manually turn the phone on and then back on you get "connect your phone to computer" screen as well.

Battery pull is the only fix at this point. I haven't seen much of this problem either, if i find out its a hardware issue i'm getting mine swapped out ASAP.

I had similar issue just downgraded it to nodo using goldcard and the issue resolved.

MoJoMorph (via metamorph)

Here is a little status bar teaser. I only recolored the connection and battery indicator. I plan on creating some swype themes, status bar, and possibly pull down. First Swype Theme is up!

How To:

1. Root!

2. Install MetaMorph from the market

3. Debugging mode on!

4. Copy ZIP files (my morphs) to sd card (unmount before proceeding)

5. Launch MetaMorph

6. Click 'unzip/extract new them"

7. Press arrow on bottom right to go to sd card

8. Find the ZIP theme and click it.

9. Click close on pop up after the files are loaded

10. Click 'apply all'

11. I haven't run too many yet... but I had to click apply all twice for it to take and the 'theme applied' message pops up.

12. Enjoy and show off your cool new swype keyboard to lame ass unrooted friends.

13. remember the best nation in the world... DOnation. (click link below)

Wow not 1 reply... Nobody knows what metamorph is on the 4g huh?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] likeitnot:
Hey motorjonny thanks for uploading this for all of us. I appreciate it. I'm not exactly to familiar with Metamorph themes myself but when I do get my new device I might just end up giving it a try. I like new things! Thanks again and I hope the thread picks up for ya.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
hehe thanks.. People on the vibrant and other phones were pretty into this stuff. It is as easy as following the instructions i put up. I guess it is a bit early for this device... but I will continue to design some more. This phone rocks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Mmarzex:
Thanks for the themes. I love metamorph just wish I knew how to actually make them.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ESKIMOn00b:
I think you'll find that people aren't as mod/flash happy without full blown ROMs to flash over any major fsck up...

Plus we don't have a way to totally restore it to shipping Rom from full root either AFAIK
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
I totally understand that. I was a bit scared to start this work with no roms. But Nandroid works. I screwed up swype trying to load the g2 version with a mic.. no luck.. deleted swype.. Nandroid restore brought me back to right after i rooted. I have never had a problem with any metamorph I have created messing me up beyond repair. Mine are pretty basic image changes at this point.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ESKIMOn00b:
I agree. But with the calibre of members on the forums these days with apps floating around like one click root, and perm root thru visionary has decreased severely and as a result some may not be as comfortable as you or I.

Nandroid has saved my Bacon on more than one occasion.

Also every one who purchased the device on launch is still within their return period, many have not made up their minds whether or not to even keep the device (i know I will, I may have to still swap mine out however...) and don't want any difficulty returning (or swapping) the phone.

Hey I don't know if anyone else using metamoprh or ninjamorph but neither wants to work for me. anytime I try and run the checks it tells me that some files could not be extracted and setup.And tells me to make sure my system partition has enough space. I have no idea what it means or how to fix it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ESKIMOn00b:
got that on my first use, reboot fixed me up right away...

when are we gonna get that status bar???

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
Do you have debugging turned on?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
you have to download busybox on the market first then run it after it installs then run metamorph... thats how i got mine to work
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ESKIMOn00b:
Can't get kryptonic to work on iced glacier 1.0 swype literally disappears from the input menu... applying a different morph brings it back....

Blue hue as well it seems...

apply it twice thats what i did then mine stuck i have iced V1.0 too and i got the blue hue working makes sure u r changing the input method too

[Fascinate General] SupraLance:
I'm new here obviously. A Linux user about to buy my first Android phone, likely a Fascinate. The development work going on here is central to that decision, because I only want a Fascinate if it will eventually have custom Froyo ROM's. If I pull the trigger, I'm locked into a 2year contract with this phone.

My holdback concern is that the phone may never see its full potential due to Samsung's delay in releasing 2.2, and the draw new phones on the market, like the the Continuum, Droid Pro, Nexus S, etc. may have on the dev's currently working on the Fascinate. The development team here is small, but mighty, and really can't afford to lose many key players.

My question is, At what point will those dev's give up on the Samsung Fascinate? If Froyo doesn't release until, say, January, will there be anybody around to save us from TouchWiz and Bing, lol?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
The Continuum and Nexus S will have virtually the same hardware as the Galaxy S series, so I don't really see a lot of "pull" there. Sure, people will develop for those phones as well, but this one will still be plenty popular for some time yet. Remember that the Nexus S is likely not going to be on Verizon, and not everybody will like the ticker screen concept. Oh, and I don't see the Droid Pro as a threat in the least. It's more of an entry level device for Blackberry addicts. Oh, and I don't think we'll have to wait until after the first of the year for Froyo. I could be wrong, of course, but with Samsung starting to roll it out overseas, it shouldn't be too much longer.

One last thing. If you're concerned about contract lock in, just do what I did, which was renew with a 1 year contract, which actually allows you to upgrade every 10 months. I ordered my Fascinate exactly 10 months after buying my Eris (which was the day after the Fascinate was actually released; I smell a conspiracy), which I also got on a 1 year contract. The only catch is you pay $70 more for any phone on Verizon when choosing a 1 year renewal, so the phone would cost you $270 plus taxes. I would recommend buying it online from Verizon's website, to avoid the messy rebates.
