[General Questions and Answers] sastreen:
So i bought an htc desire from telus (CANADA) and i rooted it easily with unrevoked to a custom rom. A few weeks ago, i updated to the 2.2 that telus released. Recently, i have noticed that even though i have the superuser permissions app, i can not

a) boot into recovery, i don't get anything. I have tried flashing recoveries with rom manager, but that didn't work either.

b) use apps to their full potential with root

c) install zips from my sd card (obviously, considering i can't get to recovery)

I tried to root again but got an error message which i think is there just because i already have superuser permissions.

If anyone knows what the issue is, or even just to install zips to sd without recovery, all the help would be greatly appreciated.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] SirGomez:
i am having a problem. I dropped my HTC Diamond and cracked the screen. the screen is no usable at all. The buttons at the bottom work but nothing on the screen works. Now, i need to get the contacts off of the phone, as i have bought a the new HTC Hero Android. But, the problem is when i goto sycn the broken phone to my comp. i can only get it to go into windows explorer. It won't create an Activsync connection. Reason being is when the diamond worked i remeber having to touch the screen to choose between 2 connection options (activsync or disc drive) now i can't do that.(broken touch screen) is there any way to get the contacts off of it? I have a link to a forum i was on, that i can send in a private message. if someone could help me would be awesome. thanks
[Touch Diamond CDMA] thesteve42:
odds are the touch works even if the screen doesnt.

you may also be able to select with the direction pad.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] kainppc6700:
ACTIVESYNC Reply

Just ActiveSync real quick, an you'll be good to go.

You should be able to ActiveSync just like before. On mine, if it was the last means of USB connection, ActiveSync will fire right up when you plug in. If the last item picked before the screen went bad was "USB Drive", just use the down arrow key to get back to what would've been "Activesync" mode.

Good Luck.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryal:
Hello everyone.

I have an HTC Hero (GSM) that:

1) Cannot boot at all, it is just showing the HERO logo

2) Cannot enter bootloader, it shows a red exclamation mark

3) Pressing trackball+back+power it can enter fastboot where it displays:

HERO CVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)

MICROP-010f

TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104

RADIO-6.35.15.11

FASTBOOT USB

<VOL DOWN> HBoot Mode

<MENU> Reset Device

When I connect it to the pc, it finds it as an HTC device but the "adb devices" command gives me nothing.

I am little dissapointed as whatever I have tried was pointless. And the problem is that I bought it from ebay not knowing that it does not work... :(

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thank you all in advace.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryal:
I managed to find the device in fastboot, typing fastboot devices.

But when I try to flash a new recovery I get the error "Failed (remote: not allowed)" ...

So I'm stuck... with only access to fastboot...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brat.haneq:
Perhaps You could try applying RRU, that could help i think.

I have a similar issue - PLEASE HELP

Hi,

My wife's UK GSM T-Mobile G2 has also developed a similar issue where, on boot it just hangs at the G2 touch splash screen. it did have villianrom on it but it now no longer boots.

I have managed to get it into fastboot where I can talk to it via the sdk but dont really know what to do from here to get it working. I tried to get the official RUU update from HTC and apply that but just get a USB connection error after clicking the .exe. I cant run any adb commands only fastboot commands.

I cannot even access the custom recovery. I think what has happened is somehow an update to the hboot has occured OTA and the phone can no longer run unsigned code. I think this as the hboot says S-ON which from doing reading indicates that the phone cant run unsigned code. (I've also tried to flash the amon-ra custom recovery via fastboot and it fails with an signature verify fail error also indicating this.)

The wife says she received a blank email and went to delete it and thats when the problem occured Is there any way for me to flash signed code to it via fastboot USB and if so, where can I get the files from?

Really desperate as the mrs is now without her phone!

Thanks in advance

[Epic 4G General] RootTheWorld:
I rooted my Epic 4G with the new Epic Experience Rom recently. I am going to return the phone, but they won't take it back rooted. I couldn't find anything in search. Does anyone know how to erase any trace of my phone being rooted?

Thanks everyone.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Edit: nm read his post wrong.
[Epic 4G General] brian_hoffman:
ODIN, and an official release, not Froyo.. Use the DI18 Package..

Also remember to wipe your SD card too which will not be touched during install. ODIN will flash over EVERYTHING making it brand new.

Why would you want to return your Epic? I hope not to get an EVO.. The EVO is a good phone and I wanted it when it first came out, my gut kept telling me to wait and the EPIC really is a good phone.
[Epic 4G General] viper786:
Last time I had to take my phone into a sprint store, I ODIN'ed back to DI18 and thought that it removes root as I've read in multiple posts but apparently it doesn't because the technician said the phone is rooted and although they will service the phone this time, root voids warranty and they put a note on my account to check if phone is rooted if i ever take it back again. My speaker just died, so I ODIN'd and used this to remove root.

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epi...ecovery-1-13-for-windows-intel-mac-and-linux/

When I took it in, they didn't mention anything about root. So either they didn't check or they saw phone wasn't rooted.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
For you those going back to stock or are stock and u flashed 2.2 and want to downgrade or resort back to stock use this method.

Rooted/clockwork users skip the first step...

1. Do the one click root/clockwork/etc Here

2. Flash the d118 modem Here

3. Then Flash the zip file Here

4. Then flash the get rid of clockwork zip Here

5. Your are back to stock without using odin yay!!!

Now all links work!!! and added a step :) use this method to return to stock with out odin.
[Epic 4G General] brian_hoffman:
Perhaps,

If you ODIN to an offical "virgin" Rom you will lose root.. Period. If you dont believe me do it then try and run any app that requires root "like wifi tether" it will not work. There are roms that work with odin that are pre rooted.

What I got from the other thread was Sprint can tell by some method what OS version and build you have been using while connected to thier network... so if this is true they may be able to tell your running an "Epic Experience" build and put 2&2 together that you have rooted.

The fact of the matter is, if you are running software not designed for the phone or not ready to be released and things do not work then they waste countless man hours trying to figure our why things force close on a product that is no longer thiers.

So, it is not hard to see why they do not like people rooting thier devices.

If you ODIN back and still have the speaker problem then it is SAFE to assume its a hardware rather than a software problem regardless of your past programs that have run on the phone.
[Epic 4G General] viper786:
I was not aware that they can see what OS i've been using. Anyway, they are replacing the phone and said i should receive the replacement at my house tomorrow. Normally all replacements are sent to them this is the first time i'm getting a replacement sent to my house instead of the store.

[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Ok so I flashed my girlfriends phone with Axura 2.1 and ran into problems. I have since ODIN'd about 3 times and reflashed different roms with the same results. I have narrowed it down and tested on my phone. What is happening is when I go to restore contacts I will start getting force close on not only contacts but swype and google framework as well. I was able to place her contacts backup in my titanium folder and produce the same results. I was able to back out of this also by deleting her contacts backup and restoring my own, no force close.

At this point all I want to do is retrieve the contact info. I am able to open the contacts.db file and view in wordpad but it's all over the place and huge. The contacts don't line up with there info. Is there another way to open this file and view this info in a properly formatted way so that I can copy over the info?
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
You might try attacking the problem from a different angle. All your contacts "should be" synced to your Google account. If so, why not just log into GMail on your computer? Click "Contacts" on the left and then export them as a .vcf (VCard format). You can later import them straight from that exported file on the phone itself using the import/export selection from the contacts app menu.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Yeah unfortunately she never synced her contacts with her google account and they were only saved on the phone. I strictley have mine saved to google just for this reason.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
I had the same thing happen to me, but only after trying to restore a titanium backup of my contacts, that was made while running stock jk6, to a jk2 rom. I don't what the difference is between the two, perhaps framework, dialer, contacts app, all of the above or none. I keep my contacts on my sim card as a backup, so for me they were easily restored. Have you tried to reflash axura then restore contacts to that rom since that was the source rom the backup was made from? If it works, then export contacts to sim, sd, or both.

Sent from my Vibrant running Macnut R13 w/JK6 Modem and Black Froyo
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
I'll give that a try. Actually the source was stock JK6 and now it's Axura
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
That makes perfect sense, as the stock jk6 is what did it to me too. I would go back to that one temporarily while you try to retrieve her contacts. Good luck.

[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:

Thanks I've been going back and forth all day with this. Flash back to JK6 stock saved contacts both to SIM and Google re-flashed Axura and not a single force close. Worked like a charm, thanks again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrDr3z85:
How do I know if my 4G is working? I read somewhere in a thread that clockwork recovery was wiping wimax or something like that. So again is there a way for me to check if my 4G works? I went to Miami where 4G was switched on and othing happened.

THanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Its not Clockwork Recovery that is wiping RSA keys. Frankly I don't think that anyone knows exactly what is wrong. There are people speculating that its from WIMAX radio flashes but no one is 100% yet. But its not based on a recovery. What you read is that Clockworks doesn't back up RSA/WIMAX but Amon Ra does. And now people are saying Amon Ra doesn't work either. So I don't think anyone knows 100% at this point. If you are going to root, be prepared to return your phone.

On to checking for your RSA keys.

Go to your ADB Shell and type

grep RSA /dev/mtd/mtd0

You should see:

output=

RSA-REQUEST

RSA-REPLY

RSA-REJECT

RSA-ACK

RSA-1024

RSA-REQUEST

RSA-REPLY

RSA-REJECT

RSA-ACK

RSA-1024

RSA

ReRSA

RSA requests

RSA replies

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

If you see the last two lines, your RSA keys are there and you should be fine. If you only see

output=

RSA-REQUEST

RSA-REPLY

RSA-REJECT

RSA-ACK

RSA-1024

RSA-REQUEST

RSA-REPLY

RSA-REJECT

RSA-ACK

RSA-1024

RSA

ReRSA

RSA requests

RSA replies

Then you lost your RSA keys and you have to return your phone. At this point there is no way to get your RSA keys back short of getting a new Evo.

If those last two lines are there, you want to check your WIMAX MAC Address and/or see if you are stuck in the 4G Connection loop.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrDr3z85:
Thanks man I'm gonna give that a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
A few people are spreading this rumor now - and it all stems from one thread where a noob started a thread and said that amonra doesn't back up the keys because he restored an amonra backup and his 4g was stuck in scanning. He then went on to admit that he never actaully checked to see if his keys were missing.

Rest assured that amonra does backup the keys - if you go to an amonra backup that you made, you can see the wimax.img file there. This is not backed up with clockwork - only amonra.

Flash in clockwork if you have it or rename update.zip

I'm not rooted. Does this matter?
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
I think if you just rename the zip file to update.zip and put it into the root of your sd card you should be able to flash not rooted in stock recovery.
