thanks for spreading the word fastludeh22,

this update zip will only flash the NAM/EURO kernel boot.img with ro.security=0 and the everclocked module, plus the basic tools (busybox an su)

recovery, system and/or radios were omitted for that very reasons you stated

and yes: the pc10img.zip part in the easy tutorial was deleted a coupl of days ago (it is stll there as a download resource for devs, but no instructions or whatsoever)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zuachs:
Hi fastludeh22, thanks for this warning.

Now, I have a doubt about what to do in this case:

If I have the 1.34.405.5 ROM and then the 1.34.500.1 is released (for example). To update my phone I should change the version in misc.img to the new oneand flash the RUU or flash the RUU without any changes or only update boot.img for the new kernel and system.img via fastboot or flashing the RUU using a goldcard and then flashing the hboot again to get s-off?

I was reading some threads and I can't be sure :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
IF both versions match your region and the official relesae has a superior number, then you can flash it sasfely.

IF you swapped to another region (eg. from Bell to Euro), then you will need a goldcard inserted into your SD slot to run the RUU or OTA,

OR swap back to your original region first, and then run the official RUU update.

The important thing is both versions/regions must match for the upgrade to apply and not get stuck at mid flash (when the radio portion flashes and resets to find a different recovery).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zuachs:
Ooook, thanks for the clarification. I will test everything and report.

I just want to get my phone, I'm suppose to receive it by tomorrow...let's see hehe!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
This is correct. However whenever an offical img/ruu is flashed you will need to reroot. To do this you would need a wpthis.ko made for the new kernel. Also any new rom/ota that comes out, you run the chance of them blocking our root exploit. Your best bet is to wait for a dev to come out with a rooted version of this rom. If you find a link to a new ruu post it up so we can have our way with it and make it safe.

If you can't wait, there are safe ways of testing it, but I'm not gonna clog up gtrab's thread with anymore ot stuff.

Sorry gtrab...

GTRAB!!

have a request for you to include HTC Locations in one of your roms, would that be possible? i was going to use the moroco (wrong spelling) or his rom, but i have heard there are some problems with it....could you by any chance port over htc locations? just curious:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
I've been working hard to achieve a full port, but the fu&!n6 ext3 format is killing me, I still have to find a way !! But yes this is one of my targets (a full PURE generic ROM)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jark99:
Thats good! If you need someone to test the rom let me know...i dont mind, i have a nandroid backup stashed on computer. Hmmm format is killing ya? Have your tried looking and some dev notes from the other locations rom?.....it should be same method to pull it.....iunno dont know too much but thats my $.02

I've been unsuccessfully trying dsixda's kitchen to cook a debranding ROM for one week (!!!) I'm sick of the ext3 stuff, can't get the ROM to flash and can't find a solution for the particular error I get when flashing.

BTW this is offtopic.

[Streak 5 General] TheMathMan:
Hi guys,

I had a Streak from probably the very first batch from Carphone Warehouse and ended up on a 2nd unit after the first was faulty. On both, running 1.6 back then, the audio through the headphones was pretty dire when compared to other phones I've had like the Samsung Wave, X10 etc.

I'd like to know what it is like on 2.1, if its been improved or anything, as I noticed the audio feedback on GSMArena is really quite positive.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. I listened to audio through some Bose over-ear headphones. Would this have made any difference, maybe the Dell couldn't drive them fully?

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] luxusxda:
I didn't try the headphones on 1.6, but the output seems fine on 2.2...

1. What is the difference between performing a nandroid backup after booting into recovery and doing one through Rom Manager?

2. Where are the backups saved and is there any chance of them being overwritten by flashing a rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
No difference

In the clockwork folder, internal memory.

You will not lose this because the rom's do not wipe internal, just data (apps)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkyj62:
I need a bit of clarification. What exactly is a nandroid...if i assume that it is a complete back up of all data and apps, would i be correct? As you can see im a bit confused. I read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475&page=2 (just in case i wanted to revert back to a stock rom for what ever reason) is the nandroid used once you flash back to stock using odin to get everything back to stock or can you us the nandroid to get back to stock?

Ive searched on here and cant really find a straight answer.

Thanks for the help!

My wallpaper changes by itself to some random picture that I don't even have. I use the Water live wallpaper with the autumn leaves and then at some point throughout the day I go to look at my phone and there is a random picture as a wallpaper instead. It has happened to me about three different times all different days. Has this happened to anyone else? If so how do I fix it?

I apologize if a similar question has been posted before but I looked and haven't found anything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Any other phone... and I would say you're running out of RAM memory and phone pushes live paper out of the system (which would be replaced with your stock wallpaper) but this phone has so much memory that it hardly would be the case. 2 things I can think of:

1. Your live wallpaper may have some sort of bug in it and forcecloses every now and then (is this from the market? read comments!!!)

2. You're using a task killer/manager of some sorts and it's killing the live wallpaper process.

Does this help at all?

Good luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmguitar:
Hey Borodin1 Thanks for your quick reply. I feel like an idiot. I figured out the problem. It was an app called astronomy picture of the day. There is an option that enables the picture of the day to upload as your wallpaper automatically. I installed a bunch of apps at one time and I didn't really explore astronomy picture of the day so I wasn't aware it was doing that. lol So that explains the astronomy type pictures my wallpaper kept changing to every single day. lol

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Ok I am stumped...my wife just got the Droid Inc. a couple weeks ago and I pretty much immediately did the following:

Root it

Install SetCPU, used "Perflock Disabler" & setup profiles

Install "Autostarts" to disable some uneeded serivces & widgets at boot

...it wasn't until recently that I attempted to plug her phone into our computer (Win7 x64) so I could start to sync some pics, etc. to it. Unfortunately, whenever I plug it into the computer I get the "Do you want to install the VZW Drivers?" which seems to work. I see (2) additional removable drives show up however I just get the "Please insert a disk..." message.

Is there something I am not doing right? or is her phone borked?

I'm used to just plugging my DX into the computer and the SD card mounting itself without any problems.

I'm trying to get the OTA installed on her phone and keep root using the steps listed here (http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/) which I've seen posted on numerous Android forums sites.

Ideas? Help?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
/bump :D

Anyone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Try going into "computer" in the start menu on your computer and see if it lists the removable storage. If you still can't access them then you'll probably have to do a slow format on them. If that don't work then I would try plugging it into a different computer and if that don't work then I would re-flash the phone with the Verizon RUU from your computer. That's all I can come up with. If anybody else has any suggestions that would be cool.

You could also try pulling the card out and using an adapter to put it in your computer and see if it's the card itself. That's all I got.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
I mentioned above that (2) removable drives show up when the phone is plugged in ;)

I haven't tried plugging it into a physically different computer but I also did reboot over to Ubuntu 10.10 and I see 2 storage devices mount (labelled as "HTC Android Storage Device"...or something along those lines.) Unfortunately double-clicking them and right-click-> Open doesn't do produce any results either.

I'll give it a shot on our laptop (running XP) to see if that produces anything...but I'm doubtful. :(

I'm trying to avoid a RUU restore because I'm know she'll get annoyed...and I'm trying to avoid the wife's wrath & eye rolling ;)

I'm fairly sure that the card is being read by the phone but then again I could be wrong...not sure if HTC Android phones save photos to the internal memory or not.

P.S. - In case some starts thinking overwise...I'm no computer n00b. :p
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Plug it in, go to device manager, find the 2 things listed for the phone under disc drives. Right click them both and select update driver software. Then on the popup window select to search automatically.

That should work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Funny...I almost did that yesterday but I was instead pointing the driver update to the HTC sync folder instead which wasn't working. :mad: Btw are you referring to letting it scan the computer for the drivers or doing a search online?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
It'll automatically search online.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
That's a good idea! I didn't even think of that. Ha ha
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
...and that didn't work either. All I get is a message saying that the best driver (Disk Drive) is already installed :(

I had the Android SDK installed as well (back when I rooted my DX) and made sure there were no remnants from Motorola or HTC...but no luck.

I'm stumped!

I'm going to try pulling out the SD card to see if that works...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Ok...so plugged the phone into our WinXP-based laptop with no previous drivers installed, (2) removable drives showed up but was unable to access the drives.

Attempted to update the "HTC Android Phone USB Device" entries in the Device Manager by having it look online...no dice.

The SD card appears to be ok though because I can read it just fine by pulling out the card, using an SD card adapter & popping it into the laptop...I can see all the cards contents without problem. I know that the phone sees the card properly too (obviously) b/c I can also access the SD card via Astro.

I'm not using the same USB cable every time either so I'm sure that isn't the issue either. I've used both my DX USB cable and the USB cable that came with the DInc.

Anyone else have any ideas? :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzman54:
This seems blatantly obvious, but I'm just gonna throw it out there because I haven't heard it mentioned. But by all the symptoms, it seems like the phone is mounted as charge only, not as a disk drive. Does it say it's mounted as a disk drive in the notification pulldown on the phone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Come on now...give me some credit :p Of course I've checked that...I do have a rooted & custom ROM on my DX afterall.

I've also tried setting it to USB Debugging mode as well...no dice
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzman54:
Haha yeah I figured you checked it, but who knows. Brain farts are a common occurence these days. The symptoms just matched so well!

Anyways...I read this somewhere: Hit the Mobile Broadband Connect option and see if does anything. Also, another blatant one, restart both the phone and the computer. Also, make sure it's set to ask everytime you connect, and default to disk drive.

That's all I got tho...good luck sir.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
I know figured people would think it would be as simple as that...but if it was that simple of a fix I would've figured it out by now :D

I tried the Mobile Broadband option and that doesn't do anything...no pop up or prompts. I've tried restarting both the PC and the phone almost every time and no luck and the phone was set to "disk drive" as well for most of my attempts. I've also had it on "ask" for some of the attempts as well.

I also noticed that when I plug in the phone sometimes and it prompts to install some software that it doesn't appear to do anything. All I get after the install is done (at least I think it's done) is show me a Windows Installer window with different commands for quiet installs, debug installs, etc. and then just an "ok" button.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Have you tried installing the newest HTC Sync to see it it would install or update the drivers? I've never been faced with a problem like this so I'm just trying to cover all bases.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Yup I've tried that too with v2.0 & the latest version (v3.0) and in both instances it shows "disconnected" even after a reboot of both the phone and the computer.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzman54:
Here's one more thing, not sure if you've already checked into this...but is there any VCast crap installed on her phone? I just read on another forum that someone removed the VCast Media Manager with a similar prob and it fixed it. (you probably already read the same forum lol)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Hmm hadn't read that to be honest but just off hand I don't think it has the VCast software on the phone. I'll check tonight when she gets home.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Well I guess if none of this works then looks like you're gonna have to deal with the dreaded eye roll while running the RUU. Ha ha sorry we couldn't get ya going.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagoX:
Managed to figure it out...I think the culprit might have been that I had the wrong USB driver installed. A bit strange but I managed to get the phone storage and SD Cards to show up & installed Virtuous with a custom kernel :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
Glad you got it working! Funny, I had the same thing happen to me a couple days ago so I ran my backup ROM and it fixed it. You might wanna show your eye rolling girlfriend how to do a backup or maybe just fiddle with it while she's sleeping. Ha ha

Gingerbread is likely just to be an iteration of the OS, Honeycomb or (3.0) is likely to be the reworked candidate... What they have probably done is set the base ready for UI rework which will be completed by the next release.. That's my thought anyway. So yea, expect changes, but only tweaks, just like we got in 2.2.
