[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsunisan:
I just got a replacement MT4G, and need to return the defective unit to as close to stock as I can. Did my research on it and I think I have the steps down, but I just want to double check everything.

I planned on first downgrading the phone as shown here, following what travisjames posted. Then I would need to install VISIONary and restore the pre-update recovery here to replace Clockwork recovery, and finally follow the steps to turn S back on, is that right? Just want to make sure I've got this down, can I change recovery with temp root via VISIONary, or do I need permanent root? I'd be doing it via terminal, so temp root should be fine.

Guys how did I get this style lockscreen on a WM6.5 ROM, seems to only come working with WM6.5.3 ROMs.

There are a few workarounds, but I either don't like the graphics or the slider is at the top (not the slide down), plus this lockscreen also give the new message, voicemail, email, etc... icons.

I'm testing many HTC HD2 Android Builds, and I've bought some Market Apps (one game and one app).

How can i preserve the bought apps if i change the build?

Some times i had to format the SD in order to change the build, etc. so can i access to the market with my account and download again the SW i've adquired with another build?

thnx!

So, I read somewhere that the Comcast xfinity app for Android is supposed to release tomorrow (11/19/2010). I thought that I had heard that this app was only going to be available on 1 carrier at launch (maybe Verizon). Does anyone have any specific info on this? I am hoping that once it is released someone will pull the .apk so it can be used by all.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] nickweb:
Hey folks.

I've had a HTC Hero on Orange since launch. Recently got me an iPhone 4 so stopped using the Hero.

I went back to use it a couple of weeks ago and the screen seems to have stopped working correctly (there is another few threads about it) - It seems i'm going to have to send the phone back to be repaired..

Before I send it back, I'm going to have to un-root the device. I've had a look through these forums, the unlockr.com, android forums etc looking for how to's - Everyone seems to think its as easy as plugging the phone in and double clicking the RUU for Orange. Not for me it seems.

My SD card with my nandroid backups messed up just before I got my iPhone, so I don't have any nandroid backups available. All the RUU's I've downloaded give me an error about being unable to connect with the phone after restarting. I think its because I have a different recovery image installed.

Is there a one-click unroot/revert application available? Or can someone point me in the right direction of how to do it? I have googled, and searched, but so far I'm stumped..

Thanks in advance!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longsh0t:
I have a user who's Eris has a recurring appointment that shows up 1 hour earlier than it's scheduled to be. He's syncing through Exchange and the appointment shows up at the proper time in Outlook, just not on his phone.

Manually changing each event works but if you try to change the entire series it stays at the incorrect time.

The originator of the appointment won't be back until next week otherwise I would have her delete the meeting and resend it. Any thoughts on what might be going on? All of his other appointments are on time. This seems to be the only one.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyk159:
I have the same problem as this with an HD2 running a Desire Android build (MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4 [kernel: MDJ S6.1)

I have used HTC Sync to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts to my HD2. This is all OK but the appointment times in both Android and HTC sense calendars are showing as 1 hour early, i.e. Appointment with real start time of 10:00 shows as 09:00.

My time settings all appear to be OK, GMT+0, London for UK. Time is correct. Auto update is enabled and working.

What is more weird is that I have installed the Android version of Pocket Informant, as I use this in WM6.5.x mode, and this shows the times correctly.

I've searched forums for solution and found many fixes for incorrect GMT settings or DST problems, but these do not seem to fit with this issue as Clock times appear to be OK.

Not sure if this is a problem with this build, or a more general Android problem.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

[Droid 2 General] Chiggins:
Alright, I wanna make sure I know how to do this, just in case.

If I need to fully unroot my phone and restore it to the way that I got it from Verizon Wireless, do I use the SBF from here? Just wanna make sure because I might need to bring in my Droid 2 in to Verizon within the next few days :\
[Droid 2 General] Spitemare:
Yup, that's the one. You'll also need RSD Lite 4.8 or 4.9 and a charged battery. Don't try flashing the SBF with a drained battery as you'll end up with a phone that's not flashed, won't charge, and can't be flashed until you get a charged battery.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Yes if you have the 2.3.20 update (you should by now) then you need the 2.3.20 sbf. you can use two different ways to flash the sbf to your D2. You can do it in windows with RSDlite or you can do it in linux with the sbf_flash script. Don't have linux you say? well I made an ubuntu livecd that can be ran on any computer for a linux environment with adb and the sbf_flash file on it. All you need to bring is a CD to burn it to and the sbf file (couldn't include due to space issues) on a flash drive. Follow thistutorial for linux and thisone for windows. I've used the linux version myself even though I'm on windows right now. It's just a lot easier to do and you don't have to worry about driver issues or having the right version of RSDlite (some versions don't detect the phone as well for some people).

Also if you do use the windows tutorial. Just make sure you have the right SBF the rootzwiki one is outdated.

I'd read both tutorials twice just to be sure you know what you are doing before you get into it.
[Droid 2 General] Chiggins:
Alright cool. Yeah I have Linux so I'll just be doing it off of there.

Will this also take off any rooting at all and the ClockworkMod recovery?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Yep back to stock before that stuff was installed. But your backups will still be on your sd card so if you decide to get tweaking again you can just reroot and reinstall bootstrap and restore from a backup to a ROM that has the 2.3.20 version.

Remember to update the baseband with the update file (before rerooting) as noted in the ubuntu thread if the sbf_flash script fails to update the baseband.
[Droid 2 General] Masx:
Is making a nandroid backup of your stock image first then restoring it and deleting bootstrap not the same?

Just need some clarification here, I know sbf will pretty much flash phone back to factory settings but are there really much traces when doing the process I mentioned?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Yeah there are traces which is why it's recommended before flashing some ROM's that you should SBF or risk getting some fun bugs. I don't know what all residual stuff is left but I know that it can cause problems.
[Droid 2 General] Chiggins:
Alright, so I'm doing the sbf_flash script from my Linux computer. It recognizes my phone whenever I do adb devices. So, I turned off my phone, then turned it back on while holding the up arrow, so now its a the bootloader screen, D2.37. It says Battery OK, OK to Program, and that the transfer mode is USB. So I run the command to flash 2.3.20, and I get an error saying Segmentation fault. So, where do I go from here?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Are both the SBF and the sbf_flash file in your home folder?
[Droid 2 General] Chiggins:
Yep, as they should. I just said to hell with it though, and used your LiveCD. :D
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Cool if you aren't already back up and you have any issues just post in there so I can be notified instantly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Khumarahn:
Hello everybody!

I need an advice on where to get drivers (or what kernel options to use) for my phone (Motorola Quench XT3) build on Qualcomm MSM7227 chpset.

It would be cool to be able to compile new version of Android from source, like gentoo or LFS; we wouldn't depend on Motorola's software updates. The only thing that seems missing is drivers and kernel configuration. (May be I am wrong - correct me)

So how do I find out what drivers/kernel options to use for my hardware?

Any help is appreciated. I would make an understandable guide for compiling Android for Motorola Quench XT3 if I succeed.

Upd:: Motorola Quench XT3 is a "Boston Orange" phone. Look for mods on cyanogenmod forum, in the z71 variants section.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SilentMobius:
Therein lies the problem.

Linux drivers for phone chipsets (mostly Qualcomm) are often provided as binary lumps for a specific kernel version. When kernel sources are made available for a specific phone then we can generally compile a full AOSP build by making sure that the kernel we build is compatible with the binary blobs, this get more difficult as the framework gets upgraded and depends on features of newer kernels.

So the things to look for are:

What version of Andriod does it run, what do you want to run?

Have Moto released kernel sources yet?

What are the GPU/Radio/BT/Wifi/Audio chipsets

Do we have binder-friendly driver source available for any of the above.

This is all _hard_ stuff and generally if you've never compiled a Linux kernel before this is not the place to start.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Khumarahn:
This is OK as long as binary drivers are available for new kernels, I guess.

It has Android 1.6, and my goal is 2.2.

yes, they have sources available for download. I downloaded, but couldn't figure out what ".config" they use, in the bundled script "Android.mk" that depends on external variable KERNEL_DEFCONFIG.

Ok, I am trying to find that out. Couldn't find specs in the net (including Motorola website), they only give processor (Qualcomm MSM7227) Is there a command like lspci on Android?

What is the place to start then? Actually I've configured and compiled kernels for several desktops/laptops, they are fine. I am not any kind of expert, but may be it isn't too difficult to build a working 2.2 Android. There's almost no hope to get it from Motorola. Also I don't care about Motorola-specific software.

Overall, thank you for a good & quick response. I will try to figure out exactly what hardware it uses, and post it here.

P.S.: what else people do to upgrade their phones when it isn't supported by manufacturer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Khumarahn:
It's MSM7227 !!!

Hello people!

After a lot of reading I start to understand concepts. Turns out, my phone has a good and popular chipset Qualcomm MSM7227. The same chipset is used in, say, HTC Aria and HTC Legend, which are well supported by cyanogen mod. And looks like chipset determines all major drivers I need! (probably except minor things like flash light)

So, I need help of somebody who knows these things better than me in the following questions:

What could be a difference in firmware between (say) HTC Legend and Motorola Quench XT3, which share the same chipset?

Is there a "generic" build for MSM7227?

Any input is greatly appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SilentMobius:
Unfortunately that is rarely the whole of it. Slight differences in implementation can make all the difference. E.G. the radio itself has a firmware that may fundamentally change the interface presented to the CPU. Sound/Display/3D are also up in the air.

Short version, if you can find out the chipset driving each of the above (not just the CPU/Radio SOC) and you can either find:

1. 2.2 binary blobs from another phone

2. Open source drivers that can be compiled for the 2.2 kernel

Then you may be ok.

The reason I said that this may not be the place to start is that what you are trying to do here is get binary blob drivers running for a kernel they were not intended to run with, debugging that is some heavy magic on a desktop, even more so on an embedded device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] qwerty156:
I also have the same phone and i was looking for a froyo mod.

I would be willing to test it out (i have the same phone :D ).

I should warn you though i have no mobile phone hacking experience!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Khumarahn:
SilentMobius, thank you much for good explanations!!

I googled more, and I have strong suspicion that Motorola Quench XT3 is the same as "Orange Boston" phone. That piece of hardware has been manufactured by many companies under many names (GigaByte G1305 Codfish, Apanda A60, WellcoM A88, Vibo A688, Cincinnati Bell Blaze f800, Commtiva Z71, Muchtel A1, Chinavision Excalibur, Motorola Greco, Nexian A890).

Though I am not sure that orange boston hacks would apply to Quench XT3. Is there a way to check their compatability (in hardware, radio firmware, etc) ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Khumarahn:
Cyanogenmod

Turns out we are lucky - Quench XT3 is a part of "Boston Orange", and it runs cyanogenmod. This is very nice, and there is no need to make rom from scratch. Moreover, everything I was thinking of is already done for this phone.

Look on cyanogenmod forums in z71 variants section for mods and other information.

[Desire HD General] mamoulian666:
Request:

A mod to the Sense textinput box to move the cursor left/right if the user swipes left/right over the textbox

Why:

The DesireHD doesn't have a trackball or D-pad, the stock HTC keyboard adds arrow keys to make up for this, but if you don't use that keyboard you have to be very precise with your finger or wait for the magnifier to pop up. Even then it can be very hard to move the cursor to either edge of the box.

I don't think any action is currently performed on swiping across the textbox so this shouldn't get in the way of anything.
[Desire HD General] M_T_M:
Is Swype included with this device? :confused: I mean from factory? :confused:
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
I don't think he is talking about swype. He is just asking for a mod that will move the cursor left and right by swiping left and right through the textinputbox.

The HTC IME mod keyboard has a setting for using the volume rocker to move the cursor...
