[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryllh:
Are you sending it back to HTC or T-Mobile?

Warranty is voided when you root. IF they find it's rooted, I would think there would be a process they would have to go through in order for them to charge you for it. Worst case, if they did catch it, you could say 'I don't know what you are talking about'.

If they push up against you even more, you could concede and tell them to send the phone back to you and then you could unroot and sell it yourself.

Unrooting takes less than 5 minutes. I just did it 2 nights ago and rooting my new phone and unrooting my old phone took a total of 10 minutes.

Can you help me then?i can't get the stock recovery to flash via terminal and I have no idea how to use fast boot
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
So you rooted and have no idea how to recover? Was rooting cool? Did it make you cooler while it worked?

But now you're stuck right? Rooted to be cool but now out in the cold because you have no idea what to do?

And you wanna send the phone back thus driving up manufacturer and carrier costs that are eventually handed down to us consumers? The same people you are now asking for help?

Go figure.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryllh:
You think maybe he is sending the phone back because of the screen issues? That has nothing to do with rooting a phone.

EDIT: I realize rooting the phone forces mfg to spend time changing back in order to sell it so my question isn't as valid as I previously thought. Considering the amounts of people sending their phones back, this instance hardly makes a dent.

But...

Seriously dude. Stop trying to sound like a tough guy. We get it, you aren't going to help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjjackson56:
What are the commands that you are using also do you have the recovery.img in the root of your sdcard (not in any folders)

Now I haven't flashed anything via terminal since I first rooted my g1 but heres the commands I used in telnet (found in the market)

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd sdcard

flash_image recovery recovery.img

cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

I'm pretty sure you can do these via terminal but not positive on that one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
Really? Where in this entire thread was the screen mentioned? Seriously!? You need to read yourself.

i've returned like 10 phones to t-mobile, g1...mytouch....vibrant....cliq and Mytouch 4G all were rooted and all i did was put a stockish looking rom back on.

they aren't checking for that when the phones come back. they are looking for cracks in the screen and liquid damage, that's it.

I was a manager for t-mobile for 1.5 years...i know the sop on this.

Also did like 5 warranty replacements through HTC (Nexus one) and sent 4 of them unlocked and never had a problem.

you're fine, don't sweat it. Just make it look as stock looking as possible when you send it in.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryllh:
I edited my post since you responded. However, the reason he is sending it back isn't known so that's a stalemate.

It's not about policing. It's about helping or not helping without oozing elitism. Your condescending answer doesn't do the forum any good.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
I am surprised by the silliness that I read earlier in this thread. It was more in keeping with the "cheer leading" threads that do not contain any useful information and not at all in keeping the substance of XDA developers - probably the premier how-to tech thread for mobile devices.

It is due to the information contained in this forum that TMo and other vendors sell many of their devices and services in the first place. The proposition that rooting and modifying these devices (an occasionally returning a few) is going to cost other buyers anything is totally absurd.

Fortunately, there were some useful follow-on posts on how to unroot it, and especially the post from the TMo guy.

Getting the best use from your device is what XDA is all about - lets keep it rolling!

Hi,

I noticed that,when i open the web browser(stock or dolphin doesnt matter)-and touch the screen(anywhere) while the brower is opened,(all)the pictures on the page gets deformed(not ads or text),they become sharpened and deformed,their contrast become more and their resolution become worse.

But when i scroll or slide the screen (to any direction),all the pictures turn back to normal.

Anyone noticed this before and is there a way to solve this problem?

2 - Is it possible to know on which Rom/Radio version a cab “was developed and validated”?

Thank you and sorry for my english

Can the Galaxy S support it? because when we can use fastboot then --> we can create a boot.img --> More ported Roms --> MIUI support

would that be creat? :D

On my Desire Z i have a HTC Widget called "HTC News" which i use a lot to get my news.

However the 17th of December at 1:48PM this widget/app decided to stop working. :(

I havent received any news since this time. If i tap update in the htc news app it just dosnt get anything, like there haven't been any news since that day. The Apps settings is set to update everytime the app open up and every 30 minuttes. If i do a sync it dosnt get anything either.

If i however add some new RSS it is working inside the app but not on the widget. The widget just loads forever..

I know the RSS links are correct as they work on my Google Reader which they've been importet from. They have also worked for about two weeks before this startet happening.

Anybody else experiencing something like it? Or even better - knows a solution to it?

Yeah -- I think its just not that well-written of an app/widget.

I tried reinstalling, and likewise it still refused to update. then I tried clearing out the user data -- now when I add the widget it just goes to the Subscription window and sits on Loading.... forever.

Removed and now I'm using the android "news and weather" widget.
[General Questions and Answers] kingimp:
Hi All,

I'm a noob to this forum, so apologies for askign silly questions.

I have mutiple problems with my HTC Desire, and HTC aren't very helpful.

I started getting a Wi-Fi error after updating some software about a week ago. If i try turning on the Wi-Fi I just get 'error'.

My computer (Windows Vista 32) also will not recognise the phone. When I plug it in a get an error message from windows.

I thought my phone was rooted as i updated it to 2.2 about 2 months ago, but after reading a post in this forum, I don't have the superuser application on my phone. Does this mean it's not rooted.

Is it possible to create a goldcard to flash the phone if i can't connect the phone to the computer.

I tried putting a ROM on the sd card last night, going into recovery mode, wiping the data and then installing the update.zip but this wouldn't work.

HTC have told me that it's not fixable and should just return the phone to them for repair. Only problem is, the phone is outside of the warranty.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] sunny082:
Hello Guys,

I have an issue with the internal storage of my SGS. It is showing only 831MB

This is what it shows me in the Task Manager>Package

Package Size: code+ data

Program : 306Mb/831MB

Even in the Settings>SD Card and Phone storage options the Internal Storage available is shown as 525MB only.

I have upgraded to Froyo using KIES and then rooted the phone using z4root and then installed Ryan ZA's one click lag fix. The phone is working fine without any issues.

Can anyone please help me on this. The internal storage is 2GB so it should show around 1.8GB. Am I missing anything on this?? Please help.. :(
[General Questions and Answers] bossman133:
G'day Sunny,

I'm a noobie but have been trying to sort out phone storage issues on my SGS with 2.2.1 installed.

My searching seems to suggest that OCLF actually works by creting a 1 gig partition in the pnone storage that 2.2 Froyo actually uses to achieve the speed increases. I suspect that this is where your memory has gone.

Myproblem is that I want to use OCLF on my unit but no matter what i do i cannot seem to free up 1 gig in the phone storage - with all my installed apps deleted i still only seem to show 970M free and OCLF wants 1 Gig - anyone got any clues?

[Droid X General] anom69:
So, I rooted my phone via Z4Root, bought and downloaded Bootrstrap (awesome) then i installed the Tranquility 3.6 rom.. hopefully P3Droid looks here.

When i went to market to download Bootstrap again, because I wasnt feeling the rom too much.. It would download, then as it was installing, the phone restart, making it so the app was in an endless loop of "installing"

I rebooted the phone, and nothing.. so i used RSD LITE to do the SBF thing.. and it didnt fix it.. Tranquility F'd my shiz up. What do i do?
[Droid X General] ronhova:
do a factory reset from the phone settings/privacy/data factory reset. I had the same problem. Apps would download then it would soft reboot during install. Evertime.

your gonna lose the tranq toolbox app after the reset. FYI.
[Droid X General] anom69:
whatd you do to fix the soft reset issue?
[Droid X General] ronhova:
The factory reset should fix that. Well, it fixed for me at least.
[Droid X General] anom69:
Well, i cant bring up clockworkmod recovery, what would i have to do?
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
Loading the SBF does not automatically erase the current ROM. SBF to the latest OTA, and then do a factory reset using Motorola's recovery. After booting back up you will be able to start the whole rooting process over.

Well i rooted again, and loaded tranquility 3.6 again, but i STILL cant access Clockworkmod Recovery from TranqBox or w/e its called (phone isnt near me to look at it, sorry dudes!)

When i go there to 'reboot to clockwork' it just sticks at the Moto logo (i changed it from the tranq one) and doesnt move.. do i just reinstall bootstrap ?
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
You definitely need to have the Droid X Bootstrap installed. You will not be able to boot into Clockwork without it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pontomedon:
I'm sure most of you know the previous thread about this topic, but it died pretty fast..

I spent the last few weeks on developing a boinc project to bruteforce the RSA key Motorola uses to sign the boot and recovery partitions on the Motorola Milestone.

The project is located here:

http://poseidon.shacknet.nu:8080/MilestoneRSA/

The front page pretty much describes what this is all about, i won't repeat all of it here, but the basics are:

simple, naive bruteforce implementation (yes i know it's pretty much impossible to bruteforce RSA 1024, but why not give it a try and see if we're lucky)

windows and linux 32 and 64 bit architectures are supported, currently windows 64 bit is much faster than the other 3, i'm working on it.

if anyone has access to a mac, experience in building on it and interest in porting the MilestoneRSA_main app to mac, i would appreciate if you contacted me. The app must be statically linked to either GMP or MPIR.

sooo. what is needed now are lots of participants, every single cpu increases the chance to break the key!

There were so many people in the other thread, willing to participate, i hope all of you stand to your word!

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pontomedon:
In theory, yes, Boinc supports cuda applications. In practice: Someone would have to port GMP or MPIR or some other Big Integer library to cuda, because we have to deal with really large (1024bit) integers here. If there's someone experienced with cuda please contact me, but i'm not able to do it..

The default GUI is really ugly, click on "Advanced view" to get the full one. (apart from that, yes looks like you're calculating ;))

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] geekmystique:
Uhm don't wanna piss on the parade here, but did anyone check out how long it takes to calculate the key? AFAIK such a key would take millions and millions of processing hours.

This means that just the power it costs to power those CPUs will probably get you a truckload of Nexus ones.

:rolleyes:

And to add to that, it is probably much better for the environment to buy a new phone instead of running your computer for three million years.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pontomedon:
The values in the CDT refer to the whole signature block, including (at least) two certificates and a 1024bit (128 byte) actual signature (as in "encrypted hash") at the end. if i have time a little later i can explane how the signature block is built in detail. but believe me, i have the correct public key, and i have successfully decrypted the encrypted hash with it. what we need is the private key for this public key, because then we can hash our own partition and encrypt the hash with the private key (aka signing). For an overview about digital signatures read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

if you read what i wrote on the front page of the project, you'd know that i'm well aware of that fact that it would take forever (in the worst case). but we might be lucky and find the key today, or in a week, or in a month. Or, of course, we do never find it, and the project will die a slow death. Anyway i wanted to try it, if you do not want to use your computer to help, no one forces you to ;)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Your more then welcome not to join but the two things, are totally different. One is unlocking a device you paid for which was advised as open the other is stealing money.

Think of this project more of a locksmith and the bootloader as a locked door somewhere in your house.

Say you brought a three bedroom house, but the third bedroom is locked, and the old owner won't give you the key so what choice do you have but to call out a locksmith who will then pick the lock so you can open a room you own.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alexango:
To my understanding, the software is not your property . The phone is yours but the OS is not . I am sure that modifying it, contradicts the EULA .

I was trying to make a point on where this could end up\used for , not necessarily on cracking the Milestone bootloader.

Once again , this is my view . For the rest , it's a free country .
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
This is opinable, but even if we accept the point of view of the big brothers, still doesn't matters.

If you lose the key of your rented house and you break a glass to get inside, no one will arrest you, is still the place where you live, even if the house is rented.

The glass is broken, the law is not.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alexango:
Only in this case , you never had a key and you were never supposed to get one (using your house example:))
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] The Solutor:
The milestone is supposed to not have any key at all.

It's just a flaw in the gpl v2 that permits to lock a device based on an open source sw.

What's the point on having the source available if one can't build and use the sw supposedly open.

Going further with the examples, motorola has installed (and locked) the doors on a public place. A place that (obviously) doesn't own.

This is unfair, this should be considered illegal, not the efforts to remove the doors.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] blud7:
What it could end up used for? The BOINC project was not just created for breaking Milestone's RSA you know.

As for your other 'point' it's perfectly legal to make copies of DVDs you bought, which by the way involves removing a 'copy protection'. This is not dissimilar to what is being attempted here.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hefonthefjords:
it's kind of a moot point that we don't own the software because that's exactly why we want to crack the loader, so we don't have to use their software on OUR hardware.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] SophT:
That's almost entirely incorrect. I suggest you look into it from an international stance. The phone is yours, the software is yours. Knowing the bootloader private key will do nothing to your phone - until you flash a new one.

If you flash a new bootloader you will likely void the warranty on your device. There is no separate Android EULA that mentions circumventing hardware protections - it's completely unrelated. And again, voiding a warranty and breaking an EULA are not illegal.

Here's where I think you're getting confused: The DMCA formerly prohibited decryption - however, last year there was an exemption made - so this doesn't even violate the one law you're probably thinking of.

Beyond that, it's not just a free country, it's a free world - there's no such thing as a DMCA here, so there's nothing illegal, or even unethical in the slightest.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] KryPTiCk0d3:
Who really cares if we aren't supposed to have this key? Motorola can suck it if this is the way they want to do stuff, kick in the door and GET the key. We all paid enough for this thing, I'm sure we should be allowed to access the bootloader or throw it against a wall if you want to, after all IT IS YOURS. Imagine if your PC was locked down like that...

Next phone will be a google phone, but I will stick with this project as long as I can.... Motorola needs this cracked and thrown in their face.
