Are there any issues with the wpthis.ko + dd image method to write the original hboot over the engineering? I've returned system, boot, recovery, etc. to their branded originals. I don't see why there would be a problem but just seeing if anyone's tried this.

The other option is 'fastboot flash hboot'. With this method, I'm not sure if I'd have to 'fastboot erase hboot' first and frankly doing that seems a bit risky because if the fastboot flash fails, you're really screwed.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No, dd can overwrite it just fine.

BUT I would do it like this (now that my tool can do radio s-on):

Radio S-OFF (if not already)

Run stock RUU

Do stock cid and radio s-on with my tool

And your device is stock.
[Desire HD Android Development] Diaoul:
I was thinking about this solution which works flawlessly it seems. I made this guide for ppl that wanted their HTC Stock for real and your tool wasn't able to S-ON ^^

Anyway, still missing the feature to restore the CID as it was BEFORE your tool makes radio S-OFF.

I follow your thread and so far, as I understood, there's a field where we can put the string we want but nothing to restore as it was before. Right ?

For ppl who want to restore to their branded ROM (if they made a backup with CWM) what do they have to do ?

My guess :

1) Root + Radio S-OFF

2) Remove S-OFF if any (not Radio S-OFF !) by flashing any RUU

3) Root again (as root is lost by flashing RUU)

4) Reinstall CWM

5) Now the phone is still S-OFF and SuperCID, right ?

6) Restore ROM via CWM (does this restore the S-OFF we had when we made the backup via CWM ?)

7) Remove S-OFF if still here (how ?)

8) Radio S-ON with the tool (with previous CID)

9) Done, happy branded stock ROM fully functional
[Desire HD Android Development] Jimmy Flip:
6) CWM/Nandroid doesn't backup/restore hboot so we'll still have stock S-ON hboot from RUU.

7) See above

9) Except you still have CWM recovery as this would have been flashed when you made the ROM backup (either replace recovery.img in CWM backup with stock recovery before restoring? or overwrite with dd after?). Also, the ROM you restored might still be rooted (unroot with Visionary?).
[Desire HD Android Development] Diaoul:
As far as I understand, people with branded phones will still have the recovery from CWM. And, so far, no easy way to replace it.

It seems like a tool to do that would be welcome here. What do you think jkoljo? :D
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
If you have non branded device, my tool will automatically restore the stock cid. Otherwise a user has to check the cid from the bootloader himself before doing s-off.
[Desire HD Android Development] Diaoul:
I'm testing all this stuff on my branded phone.

I started with a Rooted + S-OFFed DHD with AR 1.9 :

1) Radio S-OFF

2) RUU

3) Trying to temproot gets stuck on "rooting device, please wait"... Any clue ?

Edit : I grabed another copy of VISIONary here and it worked.

I had r14 before, downloaded r14 but files were slightly different in size... Anyway, package installation worked for both and I even successfully root my device with the first one long time ago. Weird
[Desire HD Android Development] Jimmy Flip:
Are you still radio S-OFF? In which case, do you need to root again? The Vision wiki says you only need radio S-OFF for permanent root:

"If you are only interested in permanent root you only need radio S-OFF"

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29

Maybe install Superuser.apk and busybox and then see if you can install ROM Manager/CWM.

Edit: Or try typing 'su' into a terminal app like ConnectBot or Terminal Emulator.
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
I've returned to the dark side with a stock Sense rom (instead of CyanogenMod), because I'd like to OTA update to HTC's gingerbread rom when it comes (hopefully soon).

I installed the signed HTC rom.

I'm not sure, but I think it's a good idea to follow the instructions for radio S-OFF, superCID and simunlock (from Apache14 himself: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857444) before installing a signed rom.

The signed rom was courtesy of xmoo's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824357

Yes, there will be a CyanogenMod 7 based on Gingerbread probably soon after HTC releases their rom, and I'll be back then.

I still have root, Eng-Hboot and the official clockworkmod recovery installed. I re-installed eng-hboot and clockworkmod just to be sure, after installing the signed rom using the HTC installer

I believe that my carrier won't have anything to do with it (i.e. I won't need to wait for them to modify the Gingerbread rom), as I I'm using a plain brown HTC rom. Although someone could tell me I'm wrong.
[Desire HD Android Development] Jimmy Flip:
You'll probably find that LeeDroid, Android Revolution, and the other ROMs which are based on the stock HTC ROM will be upgraded within a few days of the Gingerbread HTC ROM being released. I find those to be a little better than stock as they have a lot of the crap removed. I found LeeDroid very easy on the battery too.

jkoljo's Windows program is a front-end for the same program that Apache14 uses (gfree) so you get the same result with less hassle.

Yes, that's right. SuperCID will let you install any signed ROM. S-OFF will let you install any ROM at all.

The issue some of us are facing is trying to get back to an untouched branded ROM (for warranty purposes). It can be done a number of ways, just trying to discern the safest. I think it's probably:

1) Radio S-OFF

2) Flash RUU

3) Install CWM

4) Restore ROM via CWM

5) Restore original recovery with 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21'

6) Radio S-ON with the tool (with previous CID)

7) Done

I'm going to test this over the weekend.
[Desire HD Android Development] emwdava:
How did you install a stock rom?

I tried the cyanogen 6.1 RC2 briefly and I didn't like it.

I made a backup of my stock rom with Rom manager premium.

When I try to restore the backed up rom the phone reboots to Clockwork recovery. I've tried a few times from the Clockworkmod recovery but the result is the same, the phone reboots once and then launches CWM recovery.

I bought an unbranded, unlocked HTC DHD in sweden and I have root, Eng-Hboot and the official clockworkmod recovery installed.

At the moment I'm running the Android Revolution HD 1.9.2 ROM.

How do I install a stock rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] Diaoul:
Just flash the RUU

1 thing i hate about android(early build) is, most of my photos and recorded movie in /DCIM folder lost..

Really nice to see you enjoy Android HD2 as well, my phone is a game station now XD

issues I have on mdeejay hd 3.4 with 7.6 kernel:

- Screen wake up time (same on every build) is terrible, sometimes doesnt come up at all

- PPP Stability issues (same on every build, but getting less and less every week)

- Overall extremely snappy, yet sometimes simple tasks like opening a text message or email take 10 seconds. Dont know why.

- *#06# doesnt show correct IMEI

Other than that, perfect. Did have 1 random reboot at one point though.

Thank you for all great android roms You are the BEST
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
Haha, first off, almost exact same experience! And thanks all Devs as well, both WM and Android :)

What made me lol was that I had the same policy with Apps as you - do not pay for any until I was certain I was sticking with Android, and this lasted me for six weeks. And then I feel in love with Snowfall Live too!!! Now I've purchased that, and Robo Defence, and Hungry Shark, and...

Buy and download PSX4Droid, and the associate programme RomBuddy. Oh My God all those Playstation 1 games from a decade ago come flooding back, and it's pixel perfect. I followed and donated to FSPXE for WM, but when it came along I found it too much effort to find ROMs and set up the controllers all the time. PSX4Droid has none of that. Simply amazing. Simply simply amazing.

All I need is an e-reader which matches up to AlReader2 (in terms of file compatibility, readability, etc. and I'm 100% set for the next few years :))

Please help everyone, I messed up with my phone..

I installed SGStools yesterday and just click on TouchwizUI GTG and it went all ok....

About the installation of GTG Touchwiz, I think there is an phrase saying "first, install ..... e.g. launcherpro" which I didn't do. But after that it went ok.

THen this morning, I started to notice that evrything i press the middle button once, it will vibrate and an error will popup, and I need to click it again to relaunch the homescreen..

After that, I went to SGStools again and tried to restore my backup, but the backup wasnt there, so I try to reinstall the Touchwiz GTG then afterwards restart the phone, after which, the homescreen is gone but I can still use the notifications and answer calls and text.

Please help me, I'm on stock ROMs and all things that I installed in my SGS is OCLF and Root and this one. Please help me!!

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nnick:
Hi,

Do you guys know a better photo gallery to use with the Tab, as the stock one is sluggish and resizes photos, meaning that if I zoom in I cannot see any details, the pic gets blurry.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
Custom Gallery3D build (from source code) by Number22, do a search on XDA.

or:

JustPictures (on the Market).

Cheers :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
The two I use are:-

JustPictures! ~ View Flicker, Picassa and all pictures on the Tab.

Works much quicker than the Gallery App and displays much more information including the total photo's in any one folder, when the folder was last added to and EXIF data.

Large Image Viewer ~ View photo's at full resolution.

It is quite surprising just how much detail is lost with the stock Gallery App.

Using Large Image Viewer is very quick and displays photo's in greater detail.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
True. But I believe that Number22's Gallery3D build fixes this.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] gnick666:
Justpictures messes up the wallpaper crop for the tab, the original gallery is better for that...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] plasmathrower:
Original gallery doesnt mess up the crop but suffers from artifacts and errors when cropping. Just pictures doesnt suffer the same but makes incorrect crops. Number 22 gallery apk fixes both but suffers from fc errors. You're doomed!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
That's the main reason why I prefer Large Image Viewer which does not loose any detail zoomed in.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nnick:
Large ismage viewer is great. I started using it as the main app for photos.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
Pleased you like it.

If I had anything towards it please pass on a vote of Thanks.

Each vote goes towards charity... (thank you my Nurses).
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nnick:
Done that. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
Sorry, it's not showing in my thanks list. :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biopsin:
Quickpic is my choise..

Happy new year!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] MohammedYassin:
I use Large Image Viewer to view high resolution images. it's free in the Android market.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] whoisariston:
Another +1 to Large Image Viewer. I tried Just Pictures and noticed nasty artifacts on my photos.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kromosto:
TY for the tips large image viewer is beautiful
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mushipkw:
Try out Fish Bowl Photo Viewer. Its cool.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ResonanceZero:
Fish Bowl Photo Viewer has exactly the same problem as most image viewers: it won't show images at full resolution.

I've only ever found two full-resolution image viewers: Large Image Viewer (noted above) and QuickPic (currently available on Market as a beta). The latter has a less buggy interface (hidden files can be toggled back to hidden state, for instance), but neither of them comes with a proper directory browser or cbz/cbr/cb7 support, and neither one can perform the other infrastructure tasks that Gallery does (i.e. selecting crops of images for use in the contact manager), so I have three viewers installed: QuickPic, for high-quality images, the hacked Gallery3D app (to keep other apps working), and Perfect Viewer (for viewing lower-res images, cbrs, and finding images by filesystem path instead of trying to pick them out of a gallery list).

I'm stil looking for a replacement for Perfect Viewer, as I'm not all that enamored of the interface, but the only other similar app I found (ACV) had major dithering artifacts visible that bothered me even more.

Sorry, I misremembered. I stopped using ACV because it didn't fill the screen (and I didn't want to deal with the occasional distortions from Spare Parts). It was jjcomics viewer that had dithering artifacts.
[Legend General] pesaroso:
Hi!

A couple of days ago, my Legend started to act weird, I tried to install a new nightly-build (CM), but they never worked. I always had to roll back to CM RC2.

Now, about a day after that, I could no longer access my pictures on my phone. I rebooted it, and it said that my SD-card was corrupt, and that I had to format it. I connected the phone to my computer via USB, and it asked me to either scan and repair the SD-card, or continue without scanning. What I noticed, was that the sound Windows makes when you connect or disconnect a USB-device to a comp kept repeating. Like; disconnected. connected. disconnected. connected.

I couldn't transfer files or anything, since halfway in, it would disconnect, and the transfer would stop.

Now, when I used the SD-card in an adapter and connected to the computer directly, I encountered no problems at all. I could transfer freely, format the card, whatever.

I tried using another card, but my Legend kept telling me it was corrupted. When I tried for the 3rd or 4th time, the phone just said there wasn't an SD-card inserted at all, and when I connect the phone via USB, Windows is stating it doesn't recognize the device...

Is my Legend bricked? I flashed it to an unrooted stock-ROM in case I have to hand it in to service, but I want to know if it's something I can fix myself, or if it's actually broken.. The USB-thing could be a brick I guess, but the SD-card thingy?

Btw, I live in a very cold country, and sometimes my phone is really cold when I pull it from my pockets, maybe that was the source? :/ I dunno..

TL;DR - My Legend suddenly stopped recognizing my SD-card, and finally didn't read the SD-cards at all. My Windows started telling me it didn't recognize the device inserted into the USB-port whenever I connected the Legend.

Thanks, folks!
[Legend General] Rapier:
There is always hope...try THIS
[Legend General] pesaroso:
Thanks! But I see this;

"You must be rooted to try the following, it seems you can't write to mtd0 without root."

I just unrooted in case I had to turn it in. Since it won't read my SD-cards, there's no possibility for me to root it again, I think :/
[Legend General] were2:
i dont know how the brick exactly worked but there may be a chance to root again.

try to make your microsd to a goldcard again and look if its working, the chance is pretty low but at least its worth a try. (i know this sounds paradox)
[Legend General] pesaroso:
I guess that could work, but to make a goldcard I have to run some commands through adb, and my Windows cannot recognize the USB-device inserted.. :/
[Legend General] boboxt:
Or you just try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757191
[Legend General] pesaroso:
Thanks! But again; I'll need to connect through USB and run adb, which won't work :/ Bah.. :(
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Yup.. you are screwed.. phone is no good no more..
[Legend General] boboxt:
I had a same problem "and when I connect the phone via USB, Windows is stating it doesn't recognize the device..." and device was urooted but i fixed sd with this:

Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, go into fastboot mode ( device off : volume down + power, select FASTBOOT) , and do:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

then install this via the sd card + sdcard reader for root rights and unbrick over terminal emulator! worked for me!

hi

I´ve rooted and flashed my desire several times. rooted with unrevoked3 everytime and tried different roms like leedroid 2.2d, 2.2 f and rcmixhd 0.13. First time i did it i flashed leedroid 2.2d and it worked fine. After 1,5 months running leedroid my phone rebooted due to the overheating problems that 50 % of us suffer from (i rebooted it manually several times during those months and it worked until this day).

It got stuck at the bootupscreen with white background and green HTCtext. couldn´t install RUU via windows, had to grab the PB99IMG.zip onto my SD and boot into bootloader and restore my phone this way. Then i rooted it AGAIN, and flashed rcmixhd 0.13. Success! But only until i rebooted it manually, stuck at bootupscreen again.

I restored the phone from SD with pb99img as earlier. Flashed rcmixhd again and made sure i wiped everything (dalvik, cache, formatted sdcard and created a EXT), success! Until i rebooted my desire...back again.

Now im running stock non-rooted froyo. I´m getting tired of spending the night fixing it but i still want to use senseHD and i like tweaking stuff..:)

[Nook Color General] johnopsec:
Alternate title: Why does my new eReader not make a great audio player too? :mad:

So, I went out and bought a Nook Color on Friday. I bought it for the Android hacking fun and doubt that I'll ever use it for its B&N "intended purpose". With that being said, I've noted that there is a hiss / static in the headphones any time the audio is enabled. There appears to be some self-muting going on on the device itself almost as if it is completely disabling the bias to the audio output transistors after some seconds wherein the hiss goes away but, any time there is active sound going on, the hiss and associated noise (likely RFI getting into poorly designed/shielded audio circuitry) is very clearly and annoyingly there.

I'm using very good headphones (Bose QC-3's) which sound wonderful on everything else I plug them into including my Droid and Milestone phones.

Has anyone else noted this very annoying audio issue on the NC? If I don't figure out some way to get rid of it, it's going to put a serious damper on using the NC to watch videos when I fly. (LONG trans-oceanic flights!)
[Nook Color General] PJE66:
I noticed a slight static noise from the built in speaker on my NC. I've not listened that much with headphones - and it was in a noisy environment.
