[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscarano:
Im trying to root my phone and I read online I need to get into recovery mode but my phone is going to Android recovery mode. It doesn't give me an option to install the zip file from my sdcard. Only options I get is reboot , reinstall packages, del all user data, and del cache data. Im using the OCLF from the market to get root. thanks

p.s I also used Odin to flash JI6 so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Go to market, download rom manager, flash clockwork, then install rom.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehsam:
I have been using setiron's reoriented kernel for awhile now with the Voltage control app set at -75mV for 100, 200, & 400mhz and -50mV for all other frequencies. I am not having any stability issues and the voltages are sticking after reboot. However, I was expecting a pretty significant increase in battery life due to the undervolting and I have seen next to nothing. Battery life is not bad by any means but in real world use is pretty comparable to what I was getting at stock voltage.

people seem to be reporting really big increases in battery life, so I'm a little confused. have I not UV'd by enough? if that were the case I would expect to see at least some battery improvement.

I wiped battery stats/recalibrated the battery when I flashed. I do have BLN enabled, but my understanding is that this causes a really small amount of battery drain. any thoughts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
How much % of battery you loose after night|?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehsam:
while idle with the screen off (background data enabled) I lose about 1-2% per hour. I lost 10% overnight most recently and I was asleep for 7 hours. that is about the same that I was getting at stock voltage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
all i can sya, is thst you losing not many % ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
If you are in a weaker signal area, then the cell phone radio is going to work just as hard no matter what the CPU voltage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Battery drain can be a symptom of i9000 kernel and captivate modem.

Changing the modem and keeping 850mhz is a multi step process. I tried the kernel you are talking about but it's over rated.

if you want battery life flash a 2.1 rom and use unhelpful's kernel, 1.4.1 was the most stable on my phone but it doesn't have voodoo. 1.6 has voodoo and 1.7 has voodoo and clockwork recovery if I remember right. But I had random restarts, others did not report the same problems so who knows.

I would wait for captivate froyo source to drop. I'm getting decent life with cognition and no undervolting.

Edit after reading the whole thread your battery life seems normal, I don't see any problem, you can try more undervolt but test the phone completely. Make sure it doesn't freeze randomly, or on shutdown. Also test it with the charger plugged in, extra heat from the battery charging can affect stability.

Hi All,

Last night I updated my X10a to 2.1 generic verison(Had 2.1 Rogers Firmware previously). I thought I would put down the process i followed so that it may help X10a users.

1. Step 1 - I used Exploid tool from this post ,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733 and downgraded the phone from 2.1 Rogers firmware to 1.6 generic LAM version. In the Exploid tool select option 1 which flashes your phone with the 1.6 Generic LAM version.

2. Step 2 - After the flashing is complete disconnect the USB and power up the phone. Now connect the USB back and start SE PC companion.

3. Step 3 - SEPC detects X10a and it says latest software update available. Just follow the instructions from there and you will get Unbranded generic LAM 2.1 firmware on your x10a.

Hope my post helps.

You need to rename files, but otherwise, yes.

etc.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BingoRingo:
(EDIT: SEE POST BELOW!!!) This is X10i, some X10a users didn't have much luck with it, while for others it worked well. One should know before doing that.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
I don't think so. There are two Global Generic firmwares, one for X10i and one for X10a. The one above is the X10a one.

X10a CUST-GEL NAM1 1234-4820 (http://www.multiupload.com/ZGI6JWKIPG)

X10i GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 (http://www.multiupload.com/9N5BJ7II13)

And of course, here's the Rogers firmware:

X10a ROG-CA NAM1 1233-6929 (http://www.multiupload.com/M048IDMI4L)

I haven't actually downloaded any of these, so I can't be sure that I have the right numbers, but I'm pretty sure they're right.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BingoRingo:
OK then, sorry, I never heard of this particular version before.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vikram.ewit:

Are the 2 x10a firmwares that are posted the same?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] miniflight:
I have a question. Why do you need to downgrade it back to 1.6 first? I flashed 2.1 rogers with generic world 2.1 and it worked fine. No need for extra headache step. There is actually a person who bricked his phone while trying to downgrade lol. So I assume you can easily just flash 2.1 rogers to 2.1 LAM.

Edit: well okay, I guess topic starter wasn't really talking about flashing, my bad but it is a better, easier and faster way to upgrade imho

I actually tried what the topic starter said, but can never pass step 1. Always say wrong deviceid even though I am sure it was correct one.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] newalopez:
Is somehow your phone working better on Generic LAM 2.1 on X10a, than Nordic or than Generic UK software?

I wanted to try Generic LAM 2.1 but I really don't know if the process worths it, going to LAM, will work better on network stability (3g/HSDPA), something else?

Hello! While flashing RA recovery on my rooted stock 2.1 Desire, something went wrong (got stuck on Waiting for root... message). Phone powered off, didn't power on again, so took battery out. Phone booted as it usually does, but when I boot to recovery, I just get HTC screen, and nothing more. Looks like I've erased recovery.

YES, I've tried reflash with RA mod.

YES, I've tried to reflash with Clockwork mod.

[Droid X General] jdenman03:
Thats because it is a Ad-Hoc type of wifi. There is still a known problem with windows 7 and ad-hoc networks though (you have to re-establish the connection every time you want to use it on the pc). If you are running xp/vista, you should have no problem reconnecting every time.

There ARE hacked versions of the Motorola Hotspot app that will allow true, non ad-hoc, Hotspot functionality, while still not having to pay for the package. I am using it on my X with Fission 2.1 ROM. TeamBlackHat released it.. search and enjoy.
[Droid X General] SirBrass:
Do note that VzW can still see your data usage (how much used) and data rate (I THINK they can see this), so they'll have a good idea that you're tethering when you're not supposed to (contract violation, essentially) if you do this too much.

If you're sneaking around VzW to use tethering without paying, then do it sparingly when needed, not excessively... unless you want your contract terminated and other penalties assessed. This isn't the same thing as voiding a warranty, after all. You're essentially pirating bandwidth from them by doing this. Not that I have much of an issue with that, just warning you so you know that they do take this seriously.
[Desire General] mercianary:
I know this is mostly common knowledge but I still see many questions regarding this come up, so instead of explaining this over and over I can now link to this and flame away.:)

anyway...

When you charge your phone using an original HTC wall charger you phone gets all the power it needs to run itself and charge (up to 1000ma).

When you charge from any (most) other devices (this includes car chargers,non HTC wall chargers or any USB port) your phone will draw up to 500ma (the USB standard) REGARDLESS of the devices output.

The reason why the phone only draws 500ma on USB is so it does not damage any equipment by drawing more power than it can output safely (by design anything with a USB port can safely output 500ma).

The trouble is pretty much all equipment can safely output more than the USB standard of 500ma and safely charge your phone at full speed.

The phone distinguishes between an original HTC charger and other devices by whether or not the data wires are shorted (connected to each other).

How to do the charger mod.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for anything that may happen as a result of doing this, by following these instructions you will be pushing any device you charge your phone from beyond the USB specifications, results of this may be, but not limited to your motherboard bursting into flames, you car exploding, the inventor/s of USB knocking on your door and slapping you in the face, but most probably faster charging and not a lot else.

Get yourself a short USB extender wire, male at one end, female at the other.

Cut the wire in half.

Connect the red and black wires up as they were before (or don't cut them in step 1).

On the Female side of the wire connect the green and white wires together.

On the Male side of the wire simply leave the green and white wires connected to nothing.

Insulate the ends of all of the wires with insulating tape.

Tie a knot in the wire so if the wire is pulled the knot is pulled and not the connection you made, it doesn't look pretty but the wire will last a lifetime this way.

All done, now use this wire in between your desire and whatever you want to charge from and get a full speed charge. You will lose data connectivity when using this wire.

There are other ways of doing this, for example.

Soldering together the data pins (middle 2) on the device you wish to charge from. Don't do this on your laptop...this method is intended for car chargers, wall plugs, and external USB battery packs.

Soldering together a male and female USB port and plug directly with no wire in between, this can look really good if you know what your doing.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Great guide! Just a quick question I have a 3rd party USB cable but an official htc wall plug. Will my desire still get 1000mA? Or will it only get 500 because of the 3rd party charger?
[Desire General] jullejul:
I have a 3rd party changer and I did this mod and it's working really great :-) it's charging really fast :-)
[Desire General] mercianary:
The original charger shorts the data pins so it doesn't matter what cable you use.
[Desire General] TrTech:
Hi,

just wanted to say thank you for the idea. For me this is really usefull in some situations at work, where I have no access to a socket, but a pc.

It charges not as fast as the AC charger, but MUCH faster, than the usual 500mah USB method.

And so does it look like:

fileden.com/files/2006/9/25/238757/charger1.jpg
[Desire General] UpSpin:
And next time, use your brain first, please.

Do you have an idea why the HTC Desire does limit the current to 500mA if it's not connected to a dedicated charger which shorts the two data pins? Ever thought about it? Ever?
[Desire General] TrTech:
Umm... yes. But please feel free to enlight me.
[Desire General] UpSpin:
umm, and I thought the post starter already answered this question:

So in other words:

Any laptop or computer can output max. 500mA by USB specifications.

So this means:

You can have luck and your computer doesn't get damaged if more current gets requested, it just limits the current to something around 500mA.

You can have luck and your computer just shuts down the USB port and Windows reports you that a malfunction device got connected.

You can have bad luck, most often the case, especially on cheap notebooks, netbooks, computers, a fuse will prevent bigger damage and the USB port remains dead until the rest of it's computer live.

So the limit got wisely chosen. So if you want to use your USB ports in the future, too, then only use this 'trick' on wall adapters which support an output current equal or larger than 1A (1000mA), or use it only in combination with USB ports which support that high currents (most often advertised as being able to charge the Apple IPad), most often found on external USB hubs.
[Desire General] TrTech:
Me too. Its all written in the first post and I'm doing it on my own risk. Still wondering about your raging post.

I will update this, as soon as the first pc was fried.
[Desire General] UpSpin:
I was that 'unfriendly' because other people will do the same, because person xy said that it works. Then they fry their mainboard or notebook and complain.

I also don't understand why anyone risks damaging intentionally its computer or parts of it, especially if there's absolutely no need for it, e.g. just let it charge in USB mode, or take a small charger with you, or at least use two USB ports to separate the load.

But well, maybe some people don't have to take care of their computer.
