They come from the operator once they have modified the stock HTC ROMs. So if you buy from a network operator and the phone is branded, you will most probably have to wait for updates, unless you debrand it.
[Desire HD General] jjdoctor:
I am buying a New SGS 2, the seller has told me that its factory Unlocked, but I have my doubts that he has De-branded the phone and selling with the name of Factory Unlocked.

Can someone tell me, how would I know if the Seller has Sold me a Debranded phone or a factory Unlocked one?
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
1.) don't necro threads

2.) this is the DHD forum, it would be better if you post in the SGS2 forum.

btt:

when you use it, there won't be any difference between the factory unlocked and debranded, since you put a factory unlocked ROM on your phone when you debrand it.

BUT it's possible that your warranty is void now since modifying the software isn't covered by warranty. but i'm not sure about that.

Hello,

I have a rooted Desire and everything is working perfectly.

So i got this update from HTC today (i thought rooted doesn't get them?) anyhow i accepted and went ahead with installation

on reboot it did not install it giving some signature error (after showing the white triangle and yellow ! mark with android logo), so i rebooted and it shows the installation window again as follows:

so i'm wondering should i repeat the installation or it will keep giving errors because i'm rooted ?

i rooted because i want to install certain softwares like the screenshot software along with arabic support libs

Thanks

4.) flash doc rom

Is this order ok or did i forget anything?
[General Questions and Answers] Kutt:
I unistalled HTC sync and when I try to reinstall I get the message "1152: Error extracting C:\Users\Dada\AppData\Local\Temp\{1B4A9E0 PC Suite.msi to the temporary location" (the #'s and characters after temp are always different)

Anyway I've tried:

1) Running the installer as administrator just in case.

2) Right clicking the install file and installing it using the 'troubleshoot compatibility' option. Same error code.

3) Searching for any remaining files using windows search for 'htc' yet no results.

4) Searched other threads and heard repairing the file or deleting it will fix the problem yet I can't find the above folder, specifically looking in the 'dada' folder for the 'appdata' folder, not there. Then searching using windows search for 'appdata' yet no results found

I am using Windows 7 64-bit and HTC sync 2.0.40. My user account "Dada" is set as the administrator. Using a rooted EVO4g with freshevo 3.4.0.1(not that my phone should matter). Rooted perfectly with this method, since been outdated but not when I rooted. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496

HTC sync and the root worked fine the first time, so I know its compatible with my computer. Something must have happened when I uninstalled it using uninstall programs under control panel.

Obvioulsy I'm not a computer programmer, can anyone figure this out. Thanks.

1152 HTC Error FIXED!!!

I encountered the exact same problem w/ my new HTC Aria when trying to install the HTCSync.exe file. I went to CNet and downloaded a free registry cleaner. Once downloaded, run a 'FULL SCAN' then click on the 'FIX ERRORS' tab for them to be repaired. Once they're repaired, goto HTC, then whichever support area depending on country and select your phone type and GO' ,to the right of the drop-down,. Next, open the 'DOWNLOADS' tab and enter your Serial number from your HTC phone and submit. Below your Serial number a 'DOWNLOAD' will be available. Click it, either open or save the file. Once downloaded, try again reloading the HTCSync.exe file snd it should resolve all your problems. G'day:)
[General Questions and Answers] Kutt:
All about the registry cleaner

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

What's frustrating is before I even posted the original question I tried using a registry cleaner and then reinstalling htc sync.:mad: I used C Cleaner. The registry cleaner you recommended was more in depth and obviously worked better.

Eusing free registry cleaner

Thanks again,

[General Questions and Answers] keroichigoma:
I had the same problem, thanks:)

But if like me--doing the Eusing registry didn't help try to scan registry in "safe mode" and repair. Then, shut down and restart normally. Try to download HTC Sync

again(doesn't matter if you use the previous installation) and it should work. Cheers:)

As for whether or not the Evo will get it, that is not confirmed yet. Although I'm sure Sprint might push for it. They didn't even knock out the Epic 4G's Froyo completely yet (they are close I think).

If the Evo does get it, I hope that Sprint doesn't take their sweet ass time pushing it out.

Of course.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
it all depends on what version of ODIN you are using. there are One Click Odins for stock JF6 2.1 and JI6 2.2

if you are using the standalone ODIN, you need to point the pda section to the rom and depending on what rom you are loading, you may need the pit file, phone (modem) file, and CSC file.

explain a little bit better what you mean by you have the ROM and firmware on your desktop?

I recently got a new Evo cause I lost my RSA keys and they gave it to me with 3.29.651.5

I had my old Evo from launch and rooted it many times over so I know about the old rooting methods. I was searching through the forums and the only root method that I found for the latest OTA was the Unrevoked method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787304

Now I also read that Unrevoked had some issues before.

My phone information:

Hardware Version 0003

Software Version: 3.29.651.5

Hboot Version: 0.97.0000

Radio: 2.15.00.09.01

S-On

My questions:

Is this the only root method available to me?

Is this full root/NAND Unlocked?

Are there any issues or conflicts with other ROMs? (I know this is really vague but I know some ROMs want toastcfh's method done and I'm not sure if I can use that method with the latest OTA)

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Also just before someone goes "IT SAYS FULL NAND UNLOCK IN THE POST U NOOB!", I know it does.

I could be wrong but a while ago, Unrevoked didn't when they said they did. I think I remember seeing that it didn't really do full NAND unlocks. I'm wondering now if it does and if this is full permanent root. ie: It doesn't revert.

Sorry I personally didn't really look into Unrevoked nor tried it so before it I guess I'm looking for some reassurance.

I basically want to flash ROMs/kernels/radios/etc, nandroid backup/restore, revert to stock for repair purposes, and of course WIFI TETHER! lol

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MV10:
I have been planning to put a new stereo system into my wife's car for Christmas. I'm looking at some of the all-digital systems out there with A2DP, but I'm wondering whether Android is compatible with one of the versions of the AVRCP control standards? Preferably 1.4, which should be full control and full metadata.

We'd want to play both MP3 files stored on the phone as well as streaming audio from Pandora. We don't use CDs or even DVDs any more. Bluetooth phone call support would be nice, too, if anyone has any US-market head unit recommendations which they can confirm works with the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MV10:
Just remembered to dig up this thread and reply to it.

I ended up getting her a no-moving-parts Clarion FZ709 head unit. She actually uses it with her iPod more than anything (which works great over USB), but I've tried it out with Pandora on my Vibrant over Bluetooth.

I was disappointed that there was no track information displayed, but skip forward/back works, as does pause/play. The audio was a bit muffled sounding but Pandora at cell data speeds isn't exactly hifi to start with. I forgot to put some MP3s on my phone so I haven't tried those yet (to see whether metadata works, I figure it might just be a Pandora issue).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Here is something that I feel is an issue, but not sure if everyone else here considers the same:

There are many excellent ROMs here and I have tried like about a dozen or so. Everything is good, except of a minor inconvenience.

In most of the ROMs, there is an extended shut down menu with options to get into recovery, download mode, etc.

Is there any way we can take off the extended menu off here. It is only me at home who plays with these options. I don't want kids or anyone accidentally going to download mode or recovery mode.

Any help/suggestions on these are very welcome.

Note: I do understand many here like these extended shutdown options, and with due regards to that, I would like to know if there are any apps or scripts or anything available that can enable/disable these, or even just disabling the options if fine.

I have installed the app "Quick Boot" that gives the option to go into recovery/bootloader modes, if need be to go to these modes.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Well the #1 response would have been to revert to the Nandroid backup you should have made before you test anything.

But incase you didn't make one, Reflash the base ROM you want to work with. Make sure it is Deodex so you can retheme it.

In short: there is no way that I know of to unflash something. You either use Nandroid backup/restore or you reflash the custom ROM and start again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meister_Li:
I know it's not quite the same type of RAM but, the principle is the same - on the Nexus S, there is also a NAND- and a eMMC portion of the iNAND, only Google choose to use the eMMC portion to store /system and /data on, formatted in ext4. I'm wondering if that'd actually be a good idea for our Galaxy S too, as the memory seems reasonably fast with ext4 and it'd free up some space for the cache and dbdata on the faster flash ram.

Of course, it's just an idea and I am probably overlooking a major flaw in my plan, so feel free to correct me. ;)

Edit: Do we even have a cache-partition, by the way? On the Nexus S it's a small Yaffs2 partition... But does the Galaxy S have one? If not, it might help with the low-Ram issues.

Well, I guess it must be a good idea if Google engineers decided to use it. When Nexus S is out it will be dissected to find out what exactly was changed in the memory configuration.
