[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabin.frunza:
I tried unrevoked again as I had clockwork recovery mod on my desire, but it doesn't read my device anymore...trying to install RUU doesn't get me any further either. Maybe I do not have the right version of RUU, or maybe the CID no I got the very first time while creating the gold card wasn't correct, fact is that right now I have the device hooked up on my pc via usb and all I can do is boot in bootloader or recovery mode but thats it.

Trying PB99IMG.zip from sdcard results in CID fail...trying adb from console results in List of devices attached or error: device not found, or at best error remote: not allowed (this happened a while ago when I finally managed to keep adb on for more than a second and I tried pushing the recovery files)...

Oh, one more thing to add to the whole list of surprises...the USB drivers which before having these issues were working just fine, now aren't being recognized by the PC, I installed them manually but the drivers referring to Qualcomm Extra are not to be found even though I used the drivers provided on the forum, the ones provided in the reflashing packages etc etc etc...

BTW I am using W7x64...could this be also a reason why fixing this issue became such a pain in the a**?

Please help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabin.frunza:
Another small step to fixing the desire

I found CID HTC_044...what should be the next step?...I can't still use PB99IMG.zip I can't use adb (device not found) only fastboot works for now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabin.frunza:
fastboot oem boot error ...FAILED (command write failed Unknown Error)...just after finding HTC_044...where can I get a goldcard just with this CID?

Any help is much appreciated thank you!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC HD2 MAN:
Well who here ever watched avatar the last airbender (not the movie, but the cartoon :) ) Well its just a idea that popped in my head. So if the nexus one was first made by htc, then jumps to samsung... maybe it will be then made by motorola, lg, nokia.... or just "MAJOR" phone makers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixFx:
So what exactly is the pattern ??

Right now Samsung has the best technology: CPU and display, they also have the capability to manufacture large number of units. So the pattern here (if there is one) is that Google is choosing the most capable manufacturer with the best technology at the time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC HD2 MAN:
I don't know if there actually is a pattern. Like I said, it was just an idea.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatefearfighter:
I think Google is rewarding those hardware partners that are heavily investing in Android. First HTC, who made Android consumer adoption what it is today. Now Samsung, who launched the second wave of consumer attention towards Android with their broad spectrum of Galaxy phones (and a tablet). Simple as that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauron0101:
Perhaps there will be a new Nexus every year.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybik:
"Nexus", as Google said, is (now) a label indicating Pure Android Experience. So basically, it'll probably be an "approved by Google", developer-friendly, technologically sound (though maybe not always latest tech) "line" of products from multiple manufacturers, but all under the same "tagline" indicating corporate non-intrusiveness and Google thumbs-uppage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Probably one for every new version of android that seems to be the trend so far

Nexus one isn't even a year old
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
I just wish google could call representatives from HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola etc. get them around a table and say "OK, now who has the best screen ? Who produces the best batteries ? Who can make the best case ?" and so on, and build a google phone with the best feature of each brand.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
Next Andy Rubin will ask Nokia to make Nexus bcos Nokia has largest market outside US :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
All these manufacturers are part of the Open Handset Alliance. I'm pretty sure Google is just going turn by turn. The fact that the next Nexus device is mostly going to be the Motorola Everest tablet that Andy Rubin showed off is proof of that.

For all you know, the next Nexus phone will be made by either ASUS, Acer, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG or Dell.

http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/oha_members.html
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Agreed :D

Probably, google will make a new one to showcase the best android hardware/software each year or two
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
Google has these strong partnerships with all these big device makers...if Google stuck with HTC(my personal fav) and didnt give opportunity to the others to make flagship devices for Google, it would cause strain on those realationships. I would not be surprised to see a Moto or LG Nexus down the road.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC HD2 MAN:
I'm not a fan of LG, just to think of a LG nexus makes me disgusted. It kinda suck to think that samsung isn't sharing its super amoled screens anymore to other companies. It really would be great if HTC made it and samsung was willing to share its S-amoled. I like everything about the nexus s except the lack of LED and a plastic back. I'm fine with a 16gb internal memory built in.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
I don't think Nokia will be making an Android device ever, or at least for a long time. They have been strongly opposed since they own Symbian.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
They will when they start losing money.

Look at moto.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Moto had no choice, they were going down fast, and at the point where their mobile division could disappear. On the other hand, Nokia is still the number 1 manufacturer and selling a lot outside of the U.S. They are also sticking to their Maemo OS. So I don't see Nokia loosing money anytime soon.

Actually, I don't really see Nokia jumping on Android until they ditch Maemo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJTaurus:
LG is the third mobile manufactor so why not in the future to see a nexus from them....and they just launched two really good smartphones...the lg optimus and optimus 7....i think they will be very strong in the near future.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
After all the complaints Google got from the Nexus, made by HTC, you better hope they even reconsider them =/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drybones5:
The reason this doesn't happen is they would all want a piece of the pie. Large pieces.

It's all about money to most companies.

But anyways:

CPU - Samsung

GPS - What ever Motorola or HTC uses

Screen - Samsung

Case - Motorola

Case Design - HTC

Software - Google

Antenna - HTC or LG
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC HD2 MAN:
where does nokia and acer come in? haha
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Nokia doesn't like Android. Don't you remember? The CEO said something that he would rather pee in his pants then go with Android or something like that. I'm tired, so forgive me if I made that peeing part up.:)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I love the fact that almost none of those companies are actually the mfgs or said components.

lol

selfish motherpoopers! haha who needs nokia's hardware And software anyways?
[G Tablet General] Igotsanevo4g:
Has anyone thought that maybe google has made 2.3 unrootable? Scary thought i know, but its kind of like a cat and mouse game with the developers and google/manufacturers with root patches.

Maybe google finally will put the nail in the coffin here?

WOOT. It's rooted, im happily wrong.
[G Tablet General] wannagofast:
It's a developer phone, so why would Google want to make devs waste time trying to root.
[G Tablet General] djfoo000:
could it be possible that Google enable root access by default, then?
[G Tablet General] Igotsanevo4g:
Definately not.
[G Tablet General] neok44:
Dev phones have always been rootable, i doubt that will change.

The phones that have trouble being rooted are always manufacture customized ones.
[G Tablet General] jroid:
it's still able to fastboot oem unlock from what i've heard. Will be rooted same day it's available for purchase guaranteed.
[G Tablet General] OrganizedFellow:
I'd bet that it will be rooted BEFORE! ;)
[G Tablet General] mortzz:
The developer build on my Nexus One is already rooted. I don't imagine the release build will be any different from all of the previous OTAs.
[G Tablet General] swetland:
You are correct.
[G Tablet General] FPRobber:
Samsung never locked their (Android?) phones. Personally I've installed custom ROMs on the Galaxy Spica and international S and both came factory unlocked. Unlike with some of HTC's devices you can flash anything you want without using exploits.
[G Tablet General] cybik:
fastboot oem unlock
[G Tablet General] DKYang:
Your right, as of now I don't think Samsung locked any of their phones, but the only thing Samsung has on this phone is the hardware aspect. All the software aspect is by Google.
[G Tablet General] SpeeDemon:
Then how do you explain threads like this (on the samsung galaxy sub forums):

[HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!]

It seems like you have carrier/sim lock and root confused. Just like nearly every phone on the market, they are locked. You will also need root to do anything that says "please root your phone". They do not ship this way...
[G Tablet General] theimpaler747:
I'm sure it will be rootable... Google doesn't want to block out developers :)
[G Tablet General] Igotsanevo4g:
Just food for thought i guess, we cant know until its released anyways.

What exactly is fastboot oem unlock ?
[G Tablet General] theimpaler747:
Very true ;)
[G Tablet General] :
Look right above the Youtube icon.... http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/features
[G Tablet General] kathompson2nd:
that's unlocked for carriers with gsm...that's not root. Simply meaning it will work with at&t or tmobile by changing the sim card. Root lets you edit system files and a custom recovery to flash roms
[G Tablet General] androidfanboi:
Lmao no one so far in this thread should get one of these developer phones as you plainly do not understand what you are doing here when it comes to deciding what the difference is between root permissions and unlocked to all networks.

lets put it this way, if you are one of the above who are having trouble, dream on and steer clear from the prospects of rooting all together :D

unless that is you fancy yourself a very expensive paperweight?
[G Tablet General] ZeroSX:
This command unlocks your bootloader on the N1/N-S allowing you to flash custom roms, but visibly voids your warranty (bootloader screen shows that it's unlocked)
[G Tablet General] sgsabhi275:
guess we'll jus hv to wait for that brave person who roots his nexus s the very moment he gets his hands on the phone...
[G Tablet General] :
duh... i know this. but someone was wondering if this phone could be unlocked. i just thought i'd post a link that clearly showed that the phone came this way.

and it's open source... anything is possible. ;)
[G Tablet General] Igotsanevo4g:
I'd like to see the look on a dev's face the day he gets his NS and bricks the hell outta it. ;)
[G Tablet General] androidfanboi:
If its anything like the nexus one its pretty fool proof to root, a simple fastboot command via usb and you accept the fact your voiding your warranty on the device n voila root access. then you would flash a custom recovery n that was pretty much it. to be honest true bricking is in my eyes a thing of the past back in the days of the g1 n htc magic were the only mainstream android devices and youd end up bricking them by flashing an SPL which was not suited to the device, but these days we know theres no need to piss about with SPLs etc simple root access and a custom recovery normally fits most needs to be able to flash new roms.
[G Tablet General] swetland:
It's incredibly unlikely that you'll "brick" a Nexus S if you don't reflash the bootloader. Provided the bootloader is intact you can restore the other partitions.
[G Tablet General] Igotsanevo4g:
Oh i know, i was just kidding.

Soft brick is still possible. Losing USB and SD card. Oh wait... No sd card >:(
[G Tablet General] blunden:
How do you intend to lose USB? Fastboot is handled by the SPL so as long as that works you are good. Fastboot uploads the images you want to boot/flash from the computer so no need for an sdcard, physical or not.
[G Tablet General] mazodude:
2.3 is rootable.

I have done it with the sdk.

Using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821742
[G Tablet General] brswattt:
Its open source anyway. I'm quite excited.
[G Tablet General] petep86:
LOL who told u that accepting the message to unlock the bootloader, gives u root access?? Either u just made that up or u were lied to. U unlock the bootloader, then flash a recovery. The only thing so far that gives u root access is pushing superuser and busybox. That's until a dev releases a custom rom with theses apps integrated into his rom..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jones79:
I have a rooted EVO with Hardware Version 003 and was curious to know if there was a way to identify the camera chip in my phone (as I just found out that some of the 003 versions have the same chip that is in the 004 and therefore would benefit from the 3.30 OTA)

Thanks in advance..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
What's the difference between the new camera chip and the old one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Sure there is, just take your phone apart. Or you could try one of the older ROMs and see if the camera still works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcampos7:
I was told if you are able to run a custom Kernel and your camera still functions properly you have the old chip. Don't know if this is true being that I got a 0003 Evo days before they rolled out the 0004's, so I would think I have the new chip but all old roms and custom kernels work fine for me. I'd also like to know what the improvements are regarding the new chip cuz my camera is ****...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusva79:
Yes it is true. I have a 0004 version phone and my kernal only works with Myns rom with the #17 kernal. I have tried every other kernal and its a no go. Only a black screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
In what ways is it better? If it is "better" at all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcampos7:
Sounds like a downfall. Wanna trade? haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipper12:
I've heard that one camera isn't "better" than the other but rather, HTC had to go to a different parts supplier.

If anyone knows any different, please add.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcampos7:
If HTC swapped chips with out upgrading, they really have their head up their @ss. IMO that's the Evo's only downfall, the camera with my a500 killed the Evo cam I think my i880 did too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADVANCE:
I have 2 EVO's, one with the new chip and one ithe the old chip and 3.29 software. Bought them the same time. There is a huge difference. The new chip focuses quick even in low light. Almost impossible to to get a blury pix, even if moving while pressing the shutter. Tried with Barcode software. On small barcodes the new chip grabs the code and on the old chip you screw arround forever. Also the color accuracy is almost perfect on the new chip. On the old one it appears to accent blues. HTC is trying to cover it up and claims there is no difference in cameras or software, only a different vender for 2 months and now they are back to the origional camera. That sounds like a crock to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjr162:
Most references I see to the chip in the Galaxy S for handling the Bluetooth, WiFi, and FM are listed as a broadcom. I was unable to locate a chipset on broadcoms site that lists support for Bluetooth 3.0, but I did notice nearly all of the broacom chips that support FM radio support it as RX and TX. Is the chip in the Galaxy S a broadcom, and if so has anyone found a way to enable the TX portion? It was more a curiosity question as I'm sure the TX power is low as is the sound quality, but hey if it does offer it, why not exploit it?

Maybe this has already been answered for the Samsungs and I just missed it in my searches. The searches only returned other brand/model phones.

The other question I was wondering is if the FM range is hard coded in the chip, or if it's a soft radio where the RX frequencies could be shifted to say the Weather Band in the US, or some other area near the normal FM radio range? Again, this is all more out of curiosity than anything.

Edit>

I found this one that supports BT 3.0 and still lists FM RX/TX

Well, this is like the only thing I'm missing from my old Nokia N97.. So I would like it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjr162:
Well, after looking at the Samsung source for the I9000, it appears they use the SI4709 chip for FM reception, and that chip doesn't support FM TX, just RX.

Can you watch tv episodes from a CBS,NBC OR ABC website?

I can watch You Tube.

Do I need a different flash and does anyone have an .apk of one that works. I installed the one that was supposed to work with the Hulu.apk and it doesn't do that either.

Search the forums for fancast and hulu and you'll get some good leads.

As of now it seems fancast will work for some titles (maybe all for some users) and hulu is unstable for most.

Hulu works with hacked GLES optimized flash (WIN identifier instead of AND), browser agent set to "Desktop", and a clean hosts file (localhost only). Just don't mess with the video controls much or it sometimes freaks out...

Fancast pulls video stream from Hulu so it's basically the same thing...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iphoneconvert:
ok guys i have looked EVERYWHERE. I joined this forum just to ask this question, as the name suggests, i was a recent iphone/ipod touch jailbreaker and just recently switched to android, and am currently not very familiar with the terminology and exploits..

I have been using a rooted A854 on Ntelos. It is a pretty locally based company near charlottesville, va. It is quite similar to telus in canada, but with very close ties to sprint in the shenandoah valley.

when i originally tried to root via a vulnerable recovery with rsd lite and a froyo, prerooted version, it kept failing so my friend downloaded and installed universal androot which worked like a charm. The only thing was that nandroid wasnt possible via that method, and i still didnt have Froyo. :confused:

Recently, when i installed ROM manager, I was able to flash Clockworkmod's open recovery, and was able to successfully make a nandroid. I am however interested in installing a custom ROM with froyo.

I have looked into Motofrenzy and Cyanogen 6 (unofficial port for Milestone)[/URL] which were available via nandroid restore.

When i was looking it was telling me to put the file for the rom in nandroid/adbrecovery but i have no such location on my sd card.

It also says that in order for me to maintain 3g access, i need the local 3g band file, which is also not available from the rom sites.

if anyone was successful in flashing a custom rom to the A854 via nandroid restore with custom 3g bands, could you please help me.

Also any additional help would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance

i also have da same phone with ntelos its really a rebranded moto droid not milestone which is a gsm phone so only flash droid roms . in clockwork mod after flashing recovery go to back up current rom and do a nandroid back up . because it only gives da sdcard about 20 sec. to mount it usually say error cant mount just quickly hold down x and power and it will boot into recovery on da second try . go down 2 nandroid do a back up then reboot in clockwork go 2 download a rom and flash away
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iphoneconvert:
so your saying that i need to boot into recovery twice? and yeah i know its a rebranded droid but i thought that i needed roms for the milestone (i guess they were referring to the gsm version). Are you sure that any droid rom will work? Because the bootloader is locked down and the roms depend on changing that correct?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] iphoneconvert:
OK. i think i found out one of my problems. Since my friend and i were never able to successfully flash a vulnerable recovery, my phones recovery mode kept booting into android default. I had an update.zip with GOTS recovery in it and it would fail signiture verification, but when i booted into recovery through rom manager it would let me into clockworkmods recovery... i updated to it there and it went through so i think i can flash a rom now... if only i werent so chicken
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eboogie33:
yeah droid1 roms (cdma) i don't know much about open recovery or vulnerable recovery i just used androot 1 click root to get root then used rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery did a nandroid and been rom surfing ever sense. im on like my 4th 854 and they all have dat boot twice issue it only when u try to like install a rom straight from clockwork
