Well I flashed the old radio.img and still have the same problem
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Can you get into recovery ?

Do you have the engineering hboot, or just the gfree method to get S-OFF ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JonInAtl:
Yes I can get into clockwork mod recovery

Booting into HBOOT shows:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.76.2000

RADIO- 26.03.2.26_M

I gained S-OFF before gfree was released using the hexeditor method. It's been fine until I flashed this radio this morning.

Still just getting the vibrate (starts immediately on startup before android starts to boot) every 10 seconds and no cell signal (WiFi is working)

I'm completely stumped
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Try flashing it from fastboot again, maybe it was a bad flash. I assume you can still get into fastboot on the phone ?

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JonInAtl:
Yeah, I've re-downloaded and re-flashed. No joy.

Ok- tried pushing my orig radio backup:

su

stop ril-daemon

dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7-orig.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7

Starts to copy, phone re-booted

Now it's just sitting at the white HTC screen, buzzing it's vibrator.

Sounds like I'm hosed.

Can still boot into fastboot and recovery

I'd love some new ideas.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Partition 7 isn't your radio (firmware), it's your radio configuration.

So you haven't used gfree and don't have radio S-OFF, right ?

Maybe try using fastboot to flash your original radio image (not radio config) ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] faylix:
it suddenly occurs to me, that I had rooted with the first perm root method.. the kind that only got the hboot eng s-off and not the radio s-off.

I'm pretty sure that means that when I flashed the radio its likely nothing happened or at least nothing 'stuck'.

Going to test this theory out shortly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] larrycarvalh0:
whats the difference between this rom and the european one ?

whats the details of this rom ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
as previous posted, interesting built, fast htc sense.

thought it would support arabic (egypt and all), but it doesn't - only english.

biggest drawback: no market app; installed obrien's 2.3 market app, it launches but cannot download any application from the market (force close).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guhl99:
WARNING

WARNING the radio firmware in this ROM prevents wpthis.ko and therefore gfree from working (at the moment)

So if you use this you will not be able to gain write access to partition 7 (the radio config partition) and therefore will not be able to change S-ON/S-OFF, CID, SIM-LOCK data. And you will also not be able to copy your partition 7 backup back.

So do not use the radio firmeware in it or the hboot.

have fun - guhl
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
What if you have the eng bootloader and gfree already? I flashed this radio after all those... so basically, we are stuck on this radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
Well I flashed the new radio and I still have sim-unlock because I tried it with another sim card.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guhl99:
No with the eng-hboot you can flash also an older radio firmware so you can downgrade.

But as long as are using this radio all your radio partitions are write protected and you can not change any of the radio security settings.

You will not loose what you got but you can not change it anymore until you downgrade radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guhl99:
Nobody said that you will loose sim-unlock (or radio s-off or super-cid)

You just can not change any of the radio security settings anymore (until you downgrade the radio). If you need to send it in for warranty exchange you have to downgrade the radio first and install your partition7 backup then.

And let me put it this way: All new phones that HTC delivers with this radio and a bootloader that does not allow the downgrade are not rootable anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
Oh ok, thanks for claryfing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I see what you mean... I don't see a need to change the radio security while using this version anyways or switching. It seems to help my signal a bit. No problems so far... Nice work, btw!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
flashed the ruu file, now I am unable to root the phone anymore. visionary 14 simply doesn't work (launches, but cannot temp root or perm root)....

stuck with this marketless rom?????

adb shell permission denied
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Virtuous 0.8.0 is now based on this RUU. Already cleaned up, rooted, etc and safe to flash.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837042

No one should be flashing an RUU from the original executable unless you know what you are doing. In this case, we've done all the heavy lifting for you with Virtuous, so just use it. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
See guhl99's posting a few posts back. I wouldn't have recommended flashing the whole RUU unless you were really sure about that.

Did you have radio S-OFF via gfree already ? If so then you should be able to downgrade. But if not, then you are probably stuck for now, yes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
thanks guys, really really appreciated.... yes had s off already via g free...will try downgrading radio, and then flashing virtuous -
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
For info, the new version of HBOOT that is in this ROM is 0.85.0008 (17 Nov).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
not being able to downgrade the radio....permission problems persist.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I imagine that's down to the new hboot that you flashed as part of the RUU.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
DONE!

flashed official RUU htc 1.34 europe. override security locks of new radio.

now back to square one - rooting and flashing - at least got rid of radio lock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhkr123:
Are you frikkin retarded or something?

1) You didn't compile anything. Not without the source.

2) fastboot is NOT something to be avoided. It is the best/easiest/safest way and should *ALWAYS* be used when that is an option.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
No need to be rude to someone trying to provide something usefull.... Compile means put something together. Some people don't have time to pull the radio img from this shipped RUU, then flash it via fastboot. Obviously not everyone can work fastboot, and its not the only option. Flashable zips are simple, and quick and don't require a PC. They have been used to flash radios for a while now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] worldestroyer:
Flashed the radio via fastboot, seems almost the same in regards to data rates. Major benefit is that HSDPA switching seems faster, and it seems to stay on HSDPA longer before switching to EDGE. Both are major improvements from my perspective.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
That's one way. Or since u were gfree soff, you could have just fastboot flashed the eng-hboot, then you could downgrade radio and/or then fasboot flash recovery and restore/flash any rom u want from cwm.

Easier then rerooting to me, but to each their own.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Did anyone get the radio update zip working? If so any improvements and have you retained soff if you were gfree
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sickens:
I've got Bell Desire Z, updated my stock Radio to this release, can't say I've noticed much of an improvement on cell reception (slight, if any). But I have noticed that it is taking longer to acquire GPS lock in Nav/GPS apps.

Ok I am using HTC HD2. It comes with facebook application which I believe is very good to work with. Gives much better sharp screen than using browser to log into facebook. My only wish is that the facebook app shows thumbnails of the photo albums. When you enter into the photo album it shows full size images one at a time and we cannot select which picture we want to see. Can someone please help if it is possible to have picture thumbnails on Facebook App ( Facebook for windows mobile) .Please help. :)

You maybe in luck my friend. There is a facebook app in beta at the mo it's called xda facebook and Joe the maker says he is working on how photos should be viewed at the mo. So give it a go for a start it's a hell of a lot better then the windows app already so you can't loose. Just search for it on this site.
[Galaxy Tab General] ymlccc:
Hi guys,

After checking all the reviews, discussions and spent quite some hours in the store playing it, I can definitely feel the new era of tablet is coming. The 7" display is perfect for reading and the weight is not a burden for single hand holding. But the thing is I already have a i9000 (Galaxy S vibrant from Bell Canada using on Fido) with 6GB of mobile data. I am currently debating if I should jump in the TAB bandwagon now... Can someone share some thoughts on the following:

1. What's the future of Galaxy tab? I've been reading quite a lot of online articles and lots critics are saying the current android versions are yet to be ready to be served as "tablet" OS. What do you guys think?! I am pretty sure tab will get 2.3 in early next year but will it be getting 3.0 as well (official, not by XDA-gods)?

2. Like I mentioned, I already have a i9000 with me all the time, I really do not think it will be good idea to swap the sim card between teo devices all the times. I believe many of you here have a nice smartphone (android/iphone/BB...) with data plan. Tell me, how do you manage two "smart" devices with one sim card so you do not pay data twice!?

3. To be honest, I do not see myself talking with a 7" tab upside down. I know there're bluetooth solutions (hand free), but any other thoughts?! I saw someone's review on the SE liveview, but I personally think this device is yet to be matured but the device got very good potential in the future if they keep developing it. Did anyone try to pair bluetooth hand free+liveview+tab all three at the same time? So when liveview vibrates I can quickly answer the call with bluetooth handfree...

4. Are you happy with your wifi only tab?! I will be traveling to US soon, where can I get a good price on wifi only tab other than ebay?! If I cannot manage two devices with one sim card, I think a wifi tab is not a bad choice... worst comes worst, I will use mobile AP on my i9000 to share data with tab.

Thanks for your sharing, any comments will be greatly appreciated.

cheers!
[Galaxy Tab General] roy8846:
To answer question 2 I set up my mobile as a wifi hotspot and connect with my tab.

In the new year there will be a load of new tabs on the market, perhaps its wise to hold off until then.

The galaxy tab will be in the sales by then anyway
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Replied inline.
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
I am having major problems trying to do this, and keeping my Tab will depend on me figuring out why my mobile wifi hotspot phone works with regular computers but not my Tab :(

Been ready to throw the Tab off a cliff because it makes no sense when it has WEP connectivity but can't see my phone's WEP hotspot.:mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] emotsuka:
The Galaxy Tab does not detect my HD2 router, I tested several softwares of the Android Market, but none connected, someone were finding the access point, but none was connecting. That is the worst!

We need a hack or something to do this work.

But my HD2 connects with the Galaxy Tab wifi router!
[Galaxy Tab General] cnuckols1:
The galaxy tab does not see adhoc networks. You would have to use a mobile ap. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab General] futuregerald:
This is true, however some phones can create real infrastructure wifi networks like the Nexus One.

I was planning on waiting till the wifi version of the tab came out to get it and just tethering it to my phone but I ended up picking up the sprint version and I have to say that I'm glad I did. I'm paying the 30 a month for data but for me it's worthwhile. I know that better tablets will come out but I'm OK with getting a new tablet in another 1-2 years.
[Galaxy Tab General] Tiamath99:
I have a galaxy s and the first days I used the tethering option to conect via wifi and worked perfectly.

Now what I do is different. I purchased a double line sim, wich lets you use your sim card in two different devices at the same time including the data plan.

My carrier is Orange in Spain but I suppose all carriers have this option because more and more cars are being sold with stereos that let you insert you sim.

About the future of the tab, its sure its going to be upgraded to gingerbread and to be honest I don't need anything with more power, for the use I give it its perfect and will be for some time.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Well I've had mine for 2 months now and I can unequivocally say go for it.

The device in my opinion works best with a data-only pay as you go plan.

The tab is pretty rubbish as a phone (I find using wired or bt headsets just makes me look like a loonier and generally uncomfortable considering its size), but as an independent 3g/ edge device it saves my phone battery and gives me the option of having a connection even deep in the Russian countryside.

Agps is also important if you drive a lot using navigation, and it wont be available with the wiring only version.

Re usability - with a few simple tweaks I now have a device that runs silky smooth. No less so than my sisters ipad. My browser doesn't lag. My battery lasts 2 days with light use. My email client downloads and opens all attachments and my video player plays almost every file I throw at it. My device is dlna enabled and my initial distrust of the size has turned to a point of pride.

As I've said before, with android, there really is no spoon. It is the finest mobile tablet experience for the road. For home use you should really consider a 10+ inch, windows 7 slate.

Considering the nature of android apps, the only benefits you will see from holding off and buying a tegra 2 powered tablet that's due out in the next few months are higher benchmark scores and lower prices.

In terms of overall build quality, samsungs commitment to updates (there are already TENS OF FIRMWARE versions available) and general awesomeness, I would say tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
Forgive my ignorance but what is a "mobile ap" and can it be done on my WM (Tilt 2/Rhodium) phone so I can get a data connection from the phone to the Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] blackheart2925:
Yeah I got the tab within a week of its release in my country and yes it cost a bomb but its worth every penny paid for it! I simply love the size and portability of the tab and the fact that I can have an almost desktop level experience on it!

I love the fact that I can browse the web in full, watch videos embedded in sites, YouTube, javascripts, downloads work great, I can stream music or watch movies or read books or manga or comics, take it out for navigation while driving...the full web experience on the go! The yiuchscreen works like a smooth dream, overall device build quality is awesome...i can check all emails and other stuff...What can be better....

Sure Gingerbread may or may not improve the experience but as it stands now Froyo works like a dream on the tab...the idiot Google spokesperson who commented that Froyp was not optimized for tablets need to be kicked for shooting of his mouth!

For me the Tab is the best device till date - the power of a PC in a compact form factor...I rarely use my PC or netbook or laptops or other mobile devices nowadays...when I need to do something on the net, I reach for the tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] funtoosh:
Go for it, it's worth every penny you spend on it
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I think Google very much queered the pitch for devices like the Tab when they said that Android was not optimized for tablets.

An example can be found here, where it says:

Really? I must say that I've not found an app yet that doesn't run on the Tab, though I'm sure they do exist. However, this is no different to any Android phone - there are apps that will run on some phones but not on others, even though they have the same Android version.

This comment is the real deal though:

There's no formal "section" in the Android Market for Tablet apps, making it hard to find tablet specific versions - this is true!

However, everyone has picked up on the "not optimized" comment and it gets rolled out all the time by people who basically have never used the Tab in anger.

To be honest though, I think that you can consider the Galaxy Tab running Froyo akin to the iPad running iOS 3.2 - the iPad became a much improved device when iOS 4.2, but was still perfectly fine on iOS 3.2. We should see the same with Gingerbread/Honeycomb.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] ymlccc:
Thanks guys for the support, yes, I am unboxing my tab right now and darn, I am pretty happy for it (now). But I do use my SGS quite a lot (20 min+ talk) so I need a better management between the phone and tab. I think I am a bit greedy and wish I have data eveywhere and on all my devices.

I personaly think the mobile OS evolves faster than what I can imagine and seriously after the house, car, and then soon kids, a device that will only last 6 to 8 months with further upgrade to me is waste of money. For $650CND+tax, I hope it could last me minimum a yea...

Action plan:

1. Get it unlocked and rooted.

2. Flash it to Euro+Bell modem (mine is Rogers)

3. Find a nice case (no profolio) with kickstand (any recommendations?)

I also think Mobile AP will drain way too much joice from the battery even though I have two spare batteries but it will be not so conveinent in the long run...
[Galaxy Tab General] blackheart2925:
Lol...welcome to the club...I have a second sim from Vodafone with an unlimited data and voice plan, under the corporate plan and the service provider keeps on cribbing am not using the voice plan...

I have found the battery to last longer by reducing the screen brightness between 15-20%...

[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Alright, I gotta ask these questions before I attempt to do it because Im nervious of screwing anything up.

When you install a ROM on your Device, you rename the file to update.pkg and put the phone in recovery and "install from update.pkg on sd card". Then you do that and everything is good to go. The new rom is loaded and all is well. The question is after I do that, is it ok to take the Update.pkg off of the SD card after I already updated to the new rom?

Now with update.zip. How do I install the update.zip file when in recovery mode it says "Install from update.pkg on sd card"? It doesnt say Update.zip?

I also took the update.pkg file off the sd and sit it on my desktop so android would just read the update.zip and not the update.pkg? Anyone please help me with these questions? Thank you so much

EDIT: Also, the phone is shutting down and booting up with no problems with update.pkg off of the sd card. Is that ok?
[Streak 5 General] Elusivo:
yes, u can delete it, it's only needed for the flash process, u can factory reset later if u need without the update.pkg being there.

For the update.zip u have to install a new recovery through fastboot, u can use this [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 WORKING! or this NEW StreakMod Recovery
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Thank you for that! So are recovery files differnet for every rom and update.zip that needs to be applied? Like now Im on the latest froyo and used the 309 recovering.img. If thats the case, how does one go looking for the right recovery.img for each update? lol
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
I'm trying to get this gingerbread keyboard on the streak.
[Streak 5 General] Elusivo:
for the zip files u just need the one of those clockwork recoveries, to flash an update.pkg it depends on what u want to flash, but the 309 recovery img works for the official dell 315 and 318 too
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Thank you for the response. I have 318 installed. I'm gonna fastboot the clockmod and give it a shot. Ill reply back after football ;)
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Ok. I ran into a problem. I fastbooted StreakMod Recovery and got to the update.zip from SD card and went through with it. Then When I booted the phone up I keep getting a pop up that says System Exception. And When I tried to open the keyboard, (Update was Gingerbread Keyboard) it ended the process of it everytime. The pop up keeps comming up and I keep hitting quit. How can I fix this?
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Ok I fixed that problem by going into the system folder and deleting Lation.apks. Then went online and found a website with the actual APK of the keyboard. Emailed it to myself and downloaded and installed it on my phone. Wihtout having to use any recovery.
