Right so as far as I am aware I have just r00ted my phone with unrevoked3.

I need help in installing the custom 2.2 Froyo ROM and also advice on how I'm able to check if the phone has been successfully r00ted? Apologies if similar threads have been started before but I couldn't find anything relating to this via the search tool. I have access to both Windows 7 and Mac so which ever OS is easier to use just let me know...

Thanks Peeps! :)
[Wildfire General] Michealtbh:
If you can see the superuser icon in your app drawer then its rooted
[Wildfire General] Cyborgz:
Thanks for your reply Michealtbh...

I noticed that SuperUser with a Ninja Icon, also I am able to do... su <enter> in a command terminal and the result I get is #

Hopefully everything is okay with r00t but how do I go about putting Froyo 2.2 on it? Do I need to flash it with a custom 2.2 ROM as I debranded my Wildfire a while ago as I got it from T-Mobile.

Any help with putting 2.2 on my Wildfire would be appreciated! :)
[Wildfire General] Cyborgz:
The reason for me upgrading to 2.2 Froyo is I had an over the air update which was pushed to my phone. After installing this firmware update my phone no longer works on WiFi and the only net connection I can get is through 3G/HSPDA. Prior to the update my WiFi worked fine, I do not have an option to enable my WiFi through the settings menu as it is not highlighted an will not allow me to select it as an option. I did a factory reset and this did not fix my problem with the WiFi and now T-Mobile are saying to send it off for repair/reflash.

I take it this over the air update needs a follow patch to fix the bugs but I might as well just r00t my phone an upgrade to 2.2 Froyo (if possible) instead for all the messing about its worth... :p
[Wildfire General] Michealtbh:
Yeah you'll need to flash a custom rom to get froyo. There are many guides on how to do that here in the forums. There are also quite a few different roms to choose from, have a look in the wildfire development section and see which one appeals to you
[Wildfire General] Cyborgz:
Thanks again m8, big help Bro!
[Wildfire General] Cyborgz:
I have now managed to upgrade to 2.2 Froyo with the help from Michealtbh and the threads on this forum. Mod can now feel free to delete this thread. Thanks once again!

Hello I was going to try rooting my desire on saturday, until I seen the thread, about not being able to root if your desire is a PVT4 40000.

How do I check my desire to see if its 20000 or 40000?

[Desire HD General] Dentisst:
I noticed one bug. After I'm finished listen FM radio when i close it off, all sound on the phone suddenly becomes very low. I need then to go to Music player options and enable Dolby Mobile then the sound comes back to normal and then I can deactivate Dolby Mobile.It happens not every time but most of the times.

This happens only after listening to FM Radio not Music Player.
[Desire HD General] djjackson:
Same problem here :-(
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
yeah this bug has been mentioned in another thread around here. We need to inform HTC about this. I've already sent them an email. Everybody else should so they will realize this issue is quite widespread.
[Desire HD General] Dentisst:
Have just send mail to HTC as well.
[Desire HD General] picard2008:
Got similar problem but a bit of twist. I've got a call while listening to the FM Radio. After the call, the phone won't switch back to FM or to be more specific, the FM app seems to be running but there was no sound.

On the side note, can any confirm the radio is really stereo? I am a bit skeptical but my ears ain't the best. It is certainly Hi-fi. Having been bite by SGS with their first FM radio version being Mono, I am just curious. I must also say that the Radio quality is not as good as SGS's.

(WOW: HTC CS called me back admitting the bugs but of course has no solid date for a fix :(....it really doesn't bother me much as the phone is really great when compare to SGS. Besides, I used a BT with radio anyway. They have also noted my question about Gingerbread upgrade which they gave me an expected official answer...i.e. "As the OS was just released yesterday, we are getting more information. We shall let you know soonest possible once the situation clears up."...well, less than 8 hours of response time, what do you expected.)
[Desire HD General] kingkobra74:
I told them about this when I noticed it a couple of weeks after the phone came out. They fobbed me off with the 'do a hard reset' response.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
at least they answered you :D HTC is too busy updating its old phones to 2.2 right now

and i'm sure they are delaying any coming update for the DHD to include gingerbread

one thing worries me though about gingerbread, i hope it doesn't come with its own set of bugs :rolleyes: the Desire froyo update broke the SD card read speed for example, thank god we have custom kernels
[Desire HD General] Dentisst:
Wrote to HTC yesterday in evening today got email:

"Dear XXXXXXX,

We are aware of this and are currently investigating the issue, Hopefully we will be able to find a root cause and resolve it as soon as possible. Keep an eye on our webpage for update announcements."

Can you get insurance through Tmobile with this phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Nope. I just ordered mine and talked to T-Mobile about insurance, as of right now they are not covering the NS. Maybe later they will...?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orite:
Thanks, I'll hold off on it for now then.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
I did mine through Best Buy. They cover everything but loss. Should be enough. I hope....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daragh:
Insurance from Best Buy

Offered at $10/month. Not worth it, IMHO.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_licious:
I already had the $4.99 insurance on my line for the mytouch 4g and called t-mobile to see if it would transfer. The rep told me it would automatically cover the new phone including theft and loss. $120 deductible if theft or loss and free replacement for hardware and other warranty issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
I was thinking to same since it didn't cover loss, but the t-mobile one was 4.99 so its not that much more...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debro012:
I went ahead and got the bestbuy insurance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
Good call, just confirmed this with T-Mobile as well. :) Now I'm worry free.

Will T-Mobile handset insurance still apply for this handset?

"T-Mobile will not be selling the phone so they will not be offering their insurance. We recommend Best Buy's Geek Squad Black Tie Protection ($9.99 per month)."

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
time to call t-mobile, again to confirm. maybe if I get 5 yes's its gotta be true right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
Weird just got off the phone with assuron (spelling?) and they said that it will probably be covered, similar to the nexus one, but what was weird was when he said that with the nexus one, when people said their phone broke, they would send a comparable phone ie. vibrant....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougE24:
Id be careful with the best buy insurance, i bought it a long time ago once on my iPod which ended up breaking which they had to send it in and have them look into the issue to see if they would cover it, 3 weeks later i get it returned to me saying they would not cover the problem. I believe it won't cover a LOT of things that the T-Mobile like lost or water damange, so i would be careful getting the best buy "insurance" plan for this phone.

Also T-Mobiles insurance website, w**.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile does not list the Nexus S as one of the items they will be covering and i spoke with two T-Mobile reps in stores that said that it would not be covered, this is the main reason i am holding off on getting the phone.

Best of luck to all and i hope none of you need to worry about it anyways!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
Best Buy Mobile offers $10/month for any accidental damage including water. NO DEDUCTIBLE, UNLIMITED claims. 48-72 hour rapid exchange process.

does not cover lost/stolen
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1kki6:
I purchaed my insurance through squaretrade.com.

I have used them before with no problems on a claim. $100 up front, $50 dollar deductable if you break it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
Best option, as always, is to claim it through your home or renters insurance. It barely touches your policy and is much easier to file a claim, provided you have a solid insurance company.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
^This. $100 is for 2 years, which comes to $4.17/mo
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segnaro:
I'll wait until the 25th. They'll probably release coupons that can get you can extra 10-20% off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuzzSpan:
I got it too. No questions asked and no deductible for $10 is alright to me..

okey how many of you have best buy insurance? i think its $10 monthly is too much? or isnt?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
No deductible and no limit to claims. Worth it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballenone:
i have the bb ins also not by choice but by necessity cause they always feed you this c... about hey we will replace it on spot with a new one then when you come in after 30 days they say they have to send it out which could take up to two weeks even on all their other stuff in store they act like they will give you exactly what you paid back then when it happens it becomes like for like technology or prorated ... garbage ...

but none the less this was the only option at the time so i got it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcl0328:
so what is the cheapest and best insurance plan route? if t-mobile doesn't cover it, is square trade a good idea or the black tie plan?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballenone:
id say bb cause i have no experience with square trade but depends what their deductible is cause bb has no deductible and no limit but a wait time might be necessary and only 9.99 a month but in the end if you can wait bb would work cause you can just walk in and get it handled

and as far as cheap just remember what your phone cost even 9.99 is a small price to pay for some piece of mind
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilpika:
BEST BUY STATEMENT:

We offer our own Geek Squad Black Tie Protection Plan.You have 30 days from the date of purchase listed on your reciept, or from when UPS delivered the device,to add the GSBTP. The Plan can only currently be added in store. This Plan covers normal wear and tear, accidental damage, power surge protection, one time charger replacement and one time battery replacement. It does not cover loss, theft, or water (liquid) submersion. For most devices it will be 9.99 per month, For iPhone, it is 14.99 + tax per month. and can be cancelled at any time.

TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT!!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcl0328:
yea the square trade is $99 for 2 years and a $50 deductible, covers drops, spills, and other accidents but does not cover loss, theft or damage from misuse
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
Asurion doesnt not cover the Nexus S.

They didnt cover the Nexus One either.

I got a letter in the mail stating that about a month after I bought my used N1.

I bought the Best Buy insurance for the NS, it was $169.00 + tax for 24 months.

(I didnt want them billing my debit so I bought it outright)

If they cant fix it (you get a loaner phone if they need to send it off)

then they replace it no deductible.

Insurance doesnt cover loss/theft but I figured its better than no insurance at all.

:o
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballenone:
wow did not know the water was not covered they all act like everything is covered except the loss or stolen part weak so weak..

but when my girl brought her palm in awhile ago they thought it was water damage but when the second guy came to take a look at it he asked if she had black tie and she said yes so he said okay then it didn't matter ..but again this does not surprise me they never seem to know what end is up and bulls... you so you can buy it then switch it up on you in the end
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
Water is an easy fix guys.

Theres a white water detector on the battery and one inside the battery compartment. If your phone gets wet pull the battery and put the phone and

battery in dry uncooked rice and it will pull all the moisture out of the phone, battery, and the white water detector sticker thingys.

If that doesnt fix the phone it will at least turn the water detector stickers back white again.

A Verizon phone tech told a friend of mine they do that all the time and it definitely will turn the sticker back white again.

:eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
Water damage is covered. The print says no full submergence. In 3+ years I've never seen a phone denied no matter how much water damage fyi.

Blackberry devices are instant swap in store. No send out service.

IPhones are a 48 hr rapid exchange for refurbished.

Nexus s also does not get serviced. It is a 48 hour rapid exchange.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcl0328:
hm well reading that and seeing how theres no deductible and you can cancel anytime, the black tie might be the best for me
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballenone:
ha they wanted to send my evo out and said it might be two weeks to get it repaired then offered me a pos loaner (but better then no loaner i suppose)..i just hate how they always feed you c... act like they will do it on spot then don't ..but its better then nothing so im not saying its always like that just had lots of stuff from them and they always have a different story

like sitting around a campfire with them cause they have so many stories :D

but ill stop cause im starting to sound like a relative of mine with all this complaining lol sorry guys

good to know about the water though cause like i said they thought my girl had water damage then found out she had black tie and it really did not matter if it did or didnt

just got done chatting with t-mobile rep and they said this...

^Keenan J: Hi, welcome to T-Mobile live Chat. I’m ^Keenan and I will be happy to assist you. Please give me a moment to review your question.

me: ok

^Keenan J: In regards to your question about the PHP plan, yes it will cover the Nexus S as well.

^Keenan J: As the phone is fairly new though, they may be on backorder at this moment.

me: well i bought one unlocked from best buy

me: and wanted insurance

me: so i dont have to change anything or do anything and its automatically covered?

me: so what if i take the sim card out and put it in the nexus s, is it covered?

^Keenan J: Yes.

me: like i wanted to use the nexus s and give the mytouch 4g to my brother

me: we both have PHP

^Keenan J: You can do so. The Nexus S will be covered as long as the sim card with the mobile number ******** is in the Nexus S.

me: now my brothers number is ********* and the same applies for him?

^Keenan J: Yes.

^Keenan J: As long as you have the PHP plan on a line, the plan will cover any phone being used currently.

^Keenan J: You will be good to give your brother the My Touch.

me: ok thats a load off my mind

me: thanks a lot

^Keenan J: You're welcome.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
Normal phones are sent out to be repaired. And can take longer than normal. Like I stated, blackberry is swapped on the spot. IPhone and Nexus are rapid exchange.

Now I'm thinking about getting insurance with tmobile. I had m my plan with then for almost two years now and never had insurance, will they let me get insurance on my nexus s? I understand a transfer is alright like was the case here, but will a fresh insurance plan work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
I talked to T-Mobile today about being over my 400 texts.

(I have the unlimited loyalty plan, everything unlimited but the texts lol)

He saw that I have a Nexus S, and I told him Best Buy said Asurion would not insure the NS, and I asked him if that was true.

He said it was.

There you have it, its Geek Squad or self insured, which do you prefer ?

Even though Geek Squad doesnt insure loss or theft I figured something was

better than nothing.

tmobile insurance:

Tmobile will NOT provide any repairs to the N-S

if the phone is getting lost or stolen they will replace it with an equal value and not with a new N-S most likely MyTouch 4G with a co pay of $129

i'm getting the SquareTrade insurance, $100 for two years. Can't go wrong.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
no :P

I think the MyTouch 4G is ugly. Nexus S is sexy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gietl:
We ddi the T-mobile upgrade with the Nexus S (2 of em). So each phone was $199 and they really pushed for us to get the black tie service with Best Buy.

It would equate to $240 per phone for the duration of our new contract essentially. Which is more than the phone.

We have 30 days to decide and as mentioned in this thread we were told about 10 times that TMobile will do nothing with this phone.

I like the idea of the square trade just for the piece of mind. Still that would be $149 if a phone bites it.

From the standpoint of it making financial sense, it only does if the incident occurs pretty much immediately. It's a rapidly diminishing return after that. Of course for those that shelled out the $5xx for the phone I see the worry and that you get a bit more from a policy like that.

I figure if we really do some stupid things we'll be buying used ones off eBay. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
Better than $529 if your phone bites it ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gietl:
Agreed, but I paid $199.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstang2006:
I had asked two different t-mobile rep at a different time they both said that the insurance will transfer to my Nexus S automatically. But I wanted a third person to confirm it and I called Asurion.

(this is not exact quote from conversational, but it is basically what the rep. told me)

Asurion: (security questions)

Me: I got a new phone from Bestbuy and I want to know if Asurion will cover this particular phone.

Asurion: Which phone did you buy?

Me: The Nexus S

Asurion: Yes we cover that phone.

Me: Will I get the same phone as a replacement if it gets lost or damaged or will I get a different phone?

Asurion: No, in case of lost, stolen, damaged, ect. it will be replaced with the same phone.

Me: What will be the co-payment?

Asurion: $130

I still don't believe it, so I'm going to be calling T-mobile and Asurion tomorrow again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnunez:
Only through best buy its about 160 170 usd for 2 years
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstang2006:
Ok, just had a little chat with T-mobile now.

I will be calling Asurion tomorrow even-though I think the Nexus S will be the same as it was with the Nexus One, replaced with a lower category phone. :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
Yeah but if your phone breaks and you can't warranty it, you pay $529 for a new one :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vroomr4:
Yah, but won't best buy cover the full msrp of the phone, $529? I mean you did pay the sales tax for the $529 phone, not the subsidized $199.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
I confirmed with our T-Mobile rep that T-Mobile's insurance will NOT cover the nexus s.

Online reps will say anything, they can't be help accountable when it comes time to make a claim and you can't/won't get a nexus s replacement.

Best Buy Mobile black tie is 10/month or $170 outright for 2 years coverage (roughly $7/month). No deductible. No loss/stolen, but covers any accidental damage including water damage.

Seems like the easiest hassle free solution. You take broken nexus in to best buy. You get a loaner device if needed. 48-72 hours later you have a replacement nexus.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstang2006:
Maybe what they are saying is exactly what they are saying.:rolleyes:

* If you get a T-mobile brand phone the insurance will be $5.99

- $1.00 for T-mobile

- $4.99 for Asurion

* If you get a non T-mobile brand phone the insurance will be $4.99

- $0.00 for T-mobile (nada)

- $4.99 for Asurion

Maybe thats why they say: "T-mobile will not cover the Nexus S ( or any other non T-mobile brand)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketragz:
the people claiming your t-mobile insurance will not cover the nexus s are wrong. t-mobile insurance follows the sim card. i called and confirmed. be sure to update your isme # (or whatever the # is called under your battery) with t-mobile to be on the safe side.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
Even with that said, you won't get a nexus s as your replacement.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketragz:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraigP17:
T-Mobile doesn't even carry the nexus s and noone said they ever will. How is asurion/T-Mobile going to get you a nexus s?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcl0328:
is that how they handled the N1?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
Well, I hope T-Mobile Insurance does cover my Nexus. The Rep offered it to me when I called to activate my sim card. I kept asking if he was sure that the Nexus S is covered under T-mobile's insurance and he kept saying the Nexus one was so this is too. So he added the insurance to my Nexus. He also stated that if the Nexus S wasn't or couldn't be insured through T-Mobile the system wouldn't let him add it.

Nevertheless, the insurance is on my line. :confused:
