[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] yasingedik:
Thanks for all the efforts,

Just asking for clearance, now we can enable fastboot for p500, right?

It would be nice to unlock security someday, like alpharev done for HTC devices. Enabling read write for system folder while device is running can be useful, right?

Sorry, if I miss something, and understand the whole thing wrong :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
What do you mean? We are not restricted in any way. We have write access to the system folder. Fastboot is merely a courtesy for developers.

Now, they can test their kernels easier. As for the normal users it's not such a big deal since we have custom recoveries that tend to most of the needs (rom flashing, backup, restore, wipe, etc.).
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] yasingedik:
I mean mounting system folder not only in recovery but also while os is running. If we are able to do that right know, I should have missed that.

And for fastboot: afaik, It comes handy for unbricking, problem solving, flashing boot splash :P , flashing recovery, system from terminal.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
Yes, you can mount system in rw also when android is running :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
But this was possible from the moment we got root by:

"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system" since the bootloader is not locked like in most of Htc's.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] yasingedik:
doh! :)

thanks
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rotorto:
I flashed only partition, appsboot and appsboohd as suggested by mik_os. It works. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
Please be aware that there are cases when Fastboot doesn't start properly. In those cases, you'll have to remove the battery and reinsert it.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ViTAMiNCHEG:
How to get fastboot working on my device? Any instructions/advice?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Icemaine:
would this be useful in any way for "easily" switching base band to switch between froyo and gingerbread? Forgive me if this is a stupid question.

Seem to recall using the boot loader to flash all sorts of things like the radio on a htc kaiser.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
FastBoot Tutorial

1. Please download this (or from here) file and unzip it in to any folder.

2. Start LGMDP 1.5 tool with the phone connected (you need to have USB drivers installed) and click on Select Port

3. A separate window should appear like the one below

Just click connect

4. Another window will take shape (LGE Mobile security) with lots of options (links)

Click on the first upper right Browse and select the folder in with you have unzipped the files. You will get some errors that some image, table or headers are missing. Just click OK and in the end everything that should remain selected is Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image.

Now just close the window (click on x)

5. Now you are back on the main window and here you'll have to click on Download

6. You are almost done and from now on everything should go on automatically.

NV Backup

Autorestart in Emergency\Download mode and upgrade the files (you selected on step 4)

NV Restore (the last step) Do not disconnect the USB cable until the restore is done

Wait for the phone to restart in normal mode (your current rom).

That should be everything you need to do to get fastboot enabled.

A link to the tutorial has been added in the first post of this thread.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ViTAMiNCHEG:
How to check that fastboot is working? How to enter/exit fastboot mode?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rotorto:
Start the phone with the home + power combo and see if the phone enters fastboot mode.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Is this the same as rebooting to the bootloader?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rotorto:
Yes it's exactly the same ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DigitalAnalog:
Ah, I guess I should be learning how to use this. They say it's a very powerful tool. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Want to ask this. Since I don't have a very stable Windows PC,is this little tool stable or it's unstable like KDZ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ViTAMiNCHEG:
Stable! Just flashed and everything is working great :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Thanks for tha advice Vitamin :)

Will flash this too. I can haz fastboot? :D Hope I don't mess up anything (I shouldn't,AFAIK mario's howto doesn't involve system partition,neither baseband (luckily)) :)

BTW added this to noob repo.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
What is the use of fastboot for a general user?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pwntigo:
No use, and although the picture guide is good,

normal users shouldn't do it, they don't need it

and experienced users will figure this out anyway :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] naturist:
Fastboot is protocol used to update the flash filesystem in Android devices from a host over USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images. Its not useful for "General users".
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Hmmm... also flashed this with no problems :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nee_vak:
Can i flash it on official gingerbread with new baseband without getting stuck in emergency mode nightmare?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
Yeah
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] neimovirne:
a couple of days ago, I went to fastbооt, but did not attach any importance to
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Kwen:
A little glitchy but works once it's up, either hangs or take a lot of time to get ready

Flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 using fastboot :)

I suppose flashing a KDZ "russian" way would loose the fastboot?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
Only if you rewrite appsboot.mbn and appsboothd.mbn.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Asadullah:
Hey guys I'm from the optimus v section. I've got one of the early versions of the optimus v with the unlocked bootloader and fastboot access but no key combo. I was gonna start some tests to try to compile the bootloader from source and flash it to my device.

I'm wondering if the lg program backs up the bootloader and the radio image?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
I don't think you can with LGMDP. Maybe with another service app + box or maybe you can do something with fastboot itself.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Asadullah:
Thanks. I had a pretty good feeling that it couldn't and there probably isn't a well known way.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Arjen:
They are in the kdz files, but if things go wrong... Don't know if you can flash the old ones back.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Asadullah:
Unfortunately our kdz file is corrupt so it's a no go on that.

@Mur4ik or marioemp2k7

there isn't as much info on making the bootloader as I believe there should be. But what I'm getting is that I use git to clone

https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la//kernel/lk.git

(I already have the android source code)

then I add a key mapping, screen drivers, and rom partition setup.

Is the bootloaders source code that was made for the p500 somewhere so I can reference this?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Pierangel:
I follow this and in step Autorestart in Emergency stop the proccess and ask to disconect and restore. :crying:

The beta is lrg download and so far they are mem hogs and I will wait till final release. Loads of bugs and slow.
[Vibrant General] copter105:
Every now and then there are posts by people wanting to go from JI6 back to JFD. Is there a reason to go back?
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
Personal preference or maybe they just don't like it or are having problems with it.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If you don't want to root and the Gallery is acting up, that's one reason. Potentially better battery life is as well but JFD is a worse firmware overall. Lots missing from it in comparison, and lots of bugs.
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
Battery life's the only possible reason I could see, and that's debatable - I always got as good or better battery life on JI6, but I seemed to be in the minority.
[Vibrant General] qroche85:
Noob question here: how do you check if your phone is using ji2, ji6 or jfd?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] naazg:
hello mate,

I updated my TYTN II from WM 6.1 to 6.5. It was working fine for couple of hours until i get the first freeze. I did a soft reset and i was shocked when the phone come up. its a hard reset. now from last 5 hours it happens 3 - 4 times. and i have no option to did a soft reset but the phone is doing hard reset by itself.

Do u have any solution? i hope yes. I used Shifu and Gangster wm6.5

i tried 1.70. and 1.71 Radio and 3.34 HardSPL but no luck

Your prompt action is highly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Naaz

I got the graphic.ly app running on my HTC Trophy right now but it isn't any good. Is slow,doesn't have good content, is expensive and not easy to use.

I also have read about "Clarity Comics Reader" but it is like a ghost, no mentions on their site, no news about, and just some videos on youtube but without any kind of serious info about it release.

I Wish to have (Like on my HTC HD2) an app like "comic reader mobi". It was really great, right now that's my first wish on my wish list for wp7.

I got

my own content

in CBR, ZIP and RAR containers, and I really want to read them again on my WP7.

Anyone knows about a incominc release of a Great comic reader app?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogermorse:
I am also interested...i really would like to buy an HD7...but it seems like there isn't any good application yet! I'm also reading dozens of pages everyday with comic reader mobi on my htc touch hd...comic reader mobi on hd7 would look just awesome with that big screen...

let's stay in touch.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyversudo:
"comic reader mobi".

I love my hd7 and wp7. The one thing to make it super amazing would be "comic reader mobi". I would kill for that app on my hd7, right now I use my sim back and forth with my hd2. I am only keeping my hd2 for comic reader mobi. I am a radioshack manager and had a guy offer me $300 for my custom hd2. I could not let it go with out leting comic reader mobi go, and thats just a no-go for me.

Lots of love "comic reader mobi" Matsudo
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
Just a quick note to this, unless something has changed, I wouldn't recommend the Graphic.ly reader, or anything from that company, as they've come out and said they won't support their app... Which honestly, I'd send them to hell had I been using it...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
I'm not a comic PC reader by any means but, would the kindle app help in this aspect ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addisdar:
LindyReader works for this. You upload your comics (cbr/cbz format) to your dropbox (free 2 GB) account and LindyReader grabs them from there and opens them. Works great.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyj71:
Thanks for the info. Just got LindyReader and set everything up. Works like a charm. Never had an excuse to use DropBox. Now that I signed up for it, I'll have to see what other apps I can use it for.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
freda, a free ebook reader is working on dropbox support as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevTheo:
Another one on the way

I've been trying to keep quiet about this, but there is another one coming (hopefully in the next week).

It's called "The Amazing! Pocket Comics Viewer." I can tell you it works pretty similar to LindyReader with the 1 additional feature that it will support Digital Comics in the form of PDFs (actually it does support PDFs if you could see my beta right now.. I'm actually sending it out to my beta testers today).

My original version did pass the marketplace testing, but I found a bug that needed addressed before submission. Hopefully I will be submitting the new version this weekend and it will be available next week (if all goes well).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noside_143:
the comic readers that i've used best by far are lindy and amazing comic reader... but its just annoying and a bit stupid that your already beside your computer/laptop and you have to upload your comics to dropbox, skydrive or other online storage then download them again to your phone... waste of time and bandwidth...

i'm currently using MiL... it has actually accomplished this feature that you can transfer your comics using your data cable however it lacks .CBR/RAR and .CBZ file formats... so what i do is i have to rename the extensions to ZIP first before i can transfer... still a hassle but hopefully the developer can do an update for it...

[Windows Phone 7 General] Johny1969:
That's all; once I play like 10 mins with the new "Assassins Creed HD" game my HTC Trophy gets really hot... The temperature becomes so high so I have to stop play because looks like if the device were to die in heat.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
on a hd7 I have no problems , not getting hot at all even with wifi on .
[Windows Phone 7 General] Johny1969:
Thank you for your fast response ceesheim.

So it must be just my phone or maybe the Trophy model...

Maybe I did the bad choice and I had to get the HD7 model instead. (never had problems with temperature on my HD2 massplaying anything).

But now the problem is serious, that game increases really a lot the temp on my device. I must say that I have wifi and bluetooth on the whole day (massive use of them) and maybe it can be related to the problem.

I will check without them on, anyway is scary how heat it becomes once I play it, and is strange because it doesn’t happens with other games like "The harvest"
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
I only had wifi on , bluetooth and gps was off , you could try that .
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
the phone shouldn't get hot, ever. maybe be a defective battery. ask for a replacement. free, of course.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
eeeh don't know about that one. Phones get hot with extended usage of cpu or antenna. ****, your game consoles or pc's get hot when playing games...and they have fans...why wouldn't your fanless phone not?

You've never been on a long call and noticed that unit was hot by the time you got off?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rexian:
I agree with ohgood, a phone shouldn't get hot, even after long play, unless overclocked or modified in any way. And 10 mins not an excuse at all. I never experienced anything like that and my wife plays 3D games on the iphone for hours, it just gets a bit warm. My Fuze is not even warm but all I play is Solitaire City / Chess. However, my definition of hot may be different from OP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
It is possible for a phone to get hot whilst its being used.

It might be a battery issue though as its mainly the battery that will get hot before any anything else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XboxOmac:
Might want to check the battery.

Or get a replacement. Free. There should be no reason as for it to get hot... Although, my phone gets hot when using Wi-Fi Tether, but that's about it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vua777:
make some copy/paste and i am lucky solved it, DEV may know the reason.

the problem is from the build.prop, this is the origin build.prop from DarkStone 3.2, he said he love making the build as stock as posible, so i guess maybe this is the reasons:

- this build.prop tell the system it is a real htc Desire

- this build.prop have some declaration about codec

just copy this to root/system and the camera work great with no more green picture when flash.
