[Wildfire General] hans3103:
I restored back to the stock rom using a back-up I made, just to test the original froyo update on wildfire.

But before I did this I made a back-up of the system running CM6 rom.

I'm still testing the stock froyo, but if I'm not satisfied, can't I just restore the CM6 back-up, or is my phone gonna crash or something?

reply:

nope you can not go back to your backup........
[Wildfire General] jojanon:
And I guess there is no option to downgrade Froyo 2.2 by using any of the offical stock ROMs, like RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.3 5.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe?

Error In rooting

hiii I am new here I also facing root problem after updating 2.2 froyo official update from RUU but I have a NANDRIOD backup Can any one tell me how to use it

to get application and data back through backup. Now if I am using Unrevoked 3.3 at last it appears message

[ROOT FAIL- IS YOUR ROM IS TOO NEW] please help someone
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
The message on Unrevoked is self sufficient. Official FroYo cannot be rooted yet, so, you are stuck till Unrevoked updates for the new Wildfire FroYo OTA.
[Wildfire General] gaurav_74:
Can i do nanriod backup to get installed application and data in previous rom if yes how

and also one thing my phone is showing four option in recovery mode

PLEASE HELP

THANKS
[Wildfire General] dannystppls:
No it wont work you'll get the "Wrong bootloader" error
[Wildfire General] yzac:
Hi. My firmware was one from the shipped ROMs RUU, are they the same as the one you get from official OTA update which cannot be rooted? My Hboot became 1.01 after installing the RUU. I should've installed the official OTA update if only I knew they can't both be rooted (might be dumb doing so).... Please enlighten me. TIA...
[Wildfire General] bittu4u4ever:
Please devs do it fast..

i upgraded my HTC WildFire to Official Froyo.

nw cannot root it.. :(

thanks
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes you have now lost the ability to root till Unrevoked updates, which, no one knows when it will happen.

Sorry to say this, but, there are atleast a hundred posts here on XDA Forums warning against updating to official 2.2 OTA, you should have just read a bit before updating straightaway.
[Wildfire General] bittu4u4ever:
ya i might have looked into it,, bt i recently bought the phone n updated it without looking into dese forums.

Can u please update me when unrevoked cracked the HBOOT.. please..

thanks.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Rest assured there will be a sticky thread when that happens.
[Wildfire General] yzac:
Thanks for the response. I'm pretty aware of the consequence of loosing root after Froyo, and I have no regrets updating because my phone is now faster and responsive. All I want to know is if root is already available so I can play around, and will have the official froyo as my base firmware, LWP is my primary purpose. Having no root doesn't bother like others in my part. I'm happy with the official one, everything seems to work as they should be.
[Wildfire General] dungquoc:
Help root this ROM froyo???? :(
[Wildfire General] DestX:
2.2 will be rooted, just like 2.3 and 3.0

They keep spitting them out.. We keep finding ways around.

[Wildfire General] yuanvn:
It will never been rooted.

I think buy a new phone is better.
[Wildfire General] Supercluster:
Im losing hope.
[Wildfire General] FrogdogSweden:
So do I :-(
[Wildfire General] OwenW71:
I just switched from an HTC Diamond to the Wildfire. I used a custom WM6.1 ROM on it, and liked the freedom. Dutifully, I have been doing my homework before rooting, and it has paid off. I did not run an OTA update, so I'm still on 2.1.

OK, I'm an Android noob, so I have a stupid question. Can I root my Wildfire, and then install an official 2.2 ROM without updating the bootloader? I want to play with the 'stock' 2.2 for a while before jumping into the custom ROMs.

Thanks to all the devs here for all the innovation, hard work and information. I'm sure I'll end up running CM7 nightlies eventually, but for now, I don't know enough to even ask good questions.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, Visit the WildPuzzle Custom ROM Thread, and, Get WildPuzzle v0.0. It is the Official ROM with just the new bootloader removed. Someone else has also done the same thing, and, you can just search the Android Development Forum for the "Safe" Flash ROM's.
[Wildfire General] Henkdrenth:
Stock Wildfire

It's a pity I did'nt discovered this forum earlier.

Now I'm stuck with a Wildfire with Froyo 2.2 pre-installed from my carrier.

Overhere in Holland they sell the Wildfires with 2.2 pre-installed, so you're with your back to the wall.

If I have seen this forum earlier, for sure I had selected a different phone.

*kicks himself* :mad:
[Wildfire General] testwildfire:
Sooo true :(
[Wildfire General] theberserker:
Don't believe everything u read, before trying

My Wildfire was S-ON and I kept whining how I am not able to put custom rom on it... Until I have just TRIED!!

google for "cyanogenmod HTC Wildfire Full Update Wiki" (site is at cyanogenmod official wiki) and follow the simple rules provided, I managed to do it without any problems. Sorry for not submitting the direct link, but due to lack of points I am not allowed to submit outside links [well, admins, that just sucks!]
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Did you even bother to read when the last post was made? This thread, and all posts were created way before Alpharev X / Revolutionary was released for the Wildfire.

Between the official Froyo Update (Which was in Dec - Jan I guess), and the time AlphaRev X was released about 2 months back, there was no (free) way to get Custom ROMs and stuff on a Wildfire with official Froyo.

Besides, S-OFF is a very recent thing (Again, introduced with the release of AlphaRev X). Before that, people had Custom ROM's via Unrevoked, on S-ON devices, PROVIDED, they had not upgraded to official Froyo.

Please do check the thread start times before bumping such threads.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btek:
I am fairly new to rooting and flashing roms, I got the Glacier rom a while back and now I am seeing a few more options. Anyone have any input on which to pick. Being new, Im trying to stay away from roms with alot of bugs so I dont end up screwing something up. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blancoisgod:
The only one that is one hundred percent stable is the iced glacier rom.

Alot of the other ones have quirks, like CM6 and the MIUI rom dont have the front facing camera working 100 percent.

The best rom stability wise (IMOP) is the iced glacier rom. The coolest one is CM6 or MIUI. The other roms are ports, so depending on your tastes, you may like the ports better.

And trust me, you wont break anything if you always do a back up and have atleast one back up on hand.^^that doesnt apply to radios, so be VERY careful with radios.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blancoisgod:
Whats so cool about CM6 you say? lol

how does changing the color of the clock color, or date color, or any part of the notifications bar through settings?How about at least a dozen themes out for it?

besides the look of it, it runs extremely fast. There is no sense UI bogging it down, and it has a bunch of little tweaks here and there that sets it apart from the others.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esincho:
U well need to just try different roms and then u decide which one u like the best. That's the only sure fire way. That's what's so great about android. Quality and variety
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjjackson56:
Choose the red pill. Oh wait wrong question. I say each one. Flash it give it a whirl if you don't like move on to the next. We can't tell you the best one because we all like different things. Unless your a mindless "droid" :)
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Found a Diagnosis screen using the old ##634# code.

When I type ##634# on my DVP I go a screen.. and lose the keyboard.

BTW on the DVP.. before you go to the screen "The Matrix" flashes..

How do I input the other codes then?

Also When going through a Customer Interface Test.. it turned on the LED and held it on.. anyway that can be turned into a Dell specific flashlight app, like the one the HTC phones use.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
OK some of this maybe old news for programmers and some may not figured I would put it out here.

When I type ##634# on my DVP you go a "diagnostic screen" with a big EM on the top and left side. Interestingly enough before you go to the screen "The Matrix" flashes..

On the screen there is:

Phone information W/ phone information button

(Button displays Phone Information.. I know shocking isnt it)

System information W/ system information button

(Button displays System Information.. I know doubly shocking)

RD Test w/ RD Test button

Click it and a text box opens above buttons

CIT w/ Customer Interface Test button

(Click and runs a Test of the interface.. who would have guessed )

Protocol w/ Protocol button

Click it and a text box opens above buttons

Service Center w/ Service Center button

This is interesting.. a windo opens up with a Green box <ZUNE> and a Red box <Composite>

Under <Zune> is Download and Restore, under <Composite> test and debug

Current mode is: Zune Mode is written under that.

....................

Now I assume you would put other codes like those found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838464

In either the text box under RD or protocol.. but when I do nothing executes. its as if the enter key has no function.

Anyone have experience with WP7 on other phones and can tell us what is different and the same between the phones.. as far as getting in.. codes, tweaks, etc..
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Two more things when the code is entered and you go to Diagnostic mode. It becomes an App call EM.

As for where to put codes...

On the topic of the Red Composite and Green Zune key in the Diagnostic screen..

When you hit the Red one a password box comes up

"Input password to Composite"

Along with a keypad to type in said password. Although there isnt a "enter" key in the phone pad. Tried a number of things nothing worked.

Anyone else messing with thiers?

Looking at how the Samsung was "hacked" to run tethering I am wondering if the "composite" key is the one that gets you to tethering. Since the option is ZUNE or COMPOSITE.. and we know that you ahve the either or option with tethering.

[Venue Pro General] KVonGotti:
After typing ##634# on the DVP and the "Diagnostic Screen" pops up after the "The Matrix" flashes..

There are a couple codes that will work.

For the RD Test w/ RD Test button

Click it and a text box opens above buttons

Enter *#6336# code in text box to have access to MFC Test options

I'm not sure but it may be possible to fix the MicroSD card issue people have been having.

Protocol w/ Protocol button

Click it and a text box opens above buttons

Enter the same code "*#6336#" (w/out quotations) in text box to have access to

Protocol menu w/ Active Feature, GMS FREQ & Band changing options.

In the Service Center w/ the Green box <ZUNE> and a Red box <Composite>

Click it and a text box opens above buttons

Enter the same code "*#301#" (w/out quotations) in text box to switch to Composite Mode. Phone will restart.

If anyone else has any finds or updates on other codes let me know.

I am currently trying to find a way to repair the error after removing MicroSD

Little Help

I try to change the SD card but now I connot Hard reset the device, the onlymethod I have was to hold volume + & - while power on (ok for HTC) buton DVP does not work

Who knows the trick ? thanks
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
I think it is hold the Camera and Volume + while powering on. I did the same thing you did and was able to hard reset using this method, it could be Camera and Volume - , try both, one will work

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Does it boot ok? Can you go in download mode? Does Odin still see it? We need more details to help you out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champ0497:
Odin wont recognize it and It will not boot at all and will not go in download mode its acts like there is no battery in it at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819105 <-- go here and read it gives you all the options.

But..... I would try

Remove the battery, SIM, and any external SDCard

Turn on Odin with your phone UNPLUGGED

Plug in the USB cable to your phone with the battery out still.

While holding down both VOLUME buttons - jam the battery back in.

If you don't get any activity or the Download Mode you might be hosed - but try doing it a few times as it isn't the easiest thing to do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champ0497:
Got to download mode that way then it failed 2 seconds after I started it. Do you think Samsung would have a way of seeing if its rooted if I called and told them I had a pretty brick as of right now?

Would it change anything if I had an I9000 rom on it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
1) - What is the error? Where does it fail at?

2) - If your able to get to Download Mode - you should be able to restore it.

3) - Samsung/ATT - although it is highly unlikely - there is a chance if they get the phone to boot up and they see that i9000 boot screen then sure your going to end up paying for it.

If you can still get into download mode - and ODIN recognized the phone - hit the MASTER CLEAR button and let it run for 10-15 minutes... or maybe it will actually do the master clear (I've never had this work).

If anything it should at least clear it enough so you should be able to restore it. Or you will get the CPU ++++ ANDROID screen which isn't necessarily a bad thing at this point.

I had my phone so screwed up this was the only way I could restore it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champ0497:
Tried them both I start it and it says removed a second after it starts.

Tried a few more times and it fails at factoryfs.rfs every time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Well crap.

Do you have the Android SDK with ADB?

If not get the SDK kit (google Android SDK)

Get the phone back into download mode and plug in the USB.

Open a DOS window (Start -> RUN -> CMD) - make sure you browse to where you installed it (I choose C:\android\tools to make it easy) i.e. cd c:\android\tools

Then run the following command without the "" -> "adb devices"

See if the phone is recognized - it will either give you a list of the device you have plugged in or a "no devices found" message.

If it does come up - you can try doing adb reboot recovery - and see if allows you to get into recovery mode - and if you had a ROM in your SDCard you can attempt to re-flash.

Sorry man starting to grasp at straws here - I can screw up this phone with the best of them - but I'm just an avgjoegeek when its all said and done :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champ0497:
ADB confuses me but I will try it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
master clear DOES NOT work in download mode

sdk was updated a couple weeks ago and if you download the newest sdk, they have moved adb to platform-tools instead of tools

if you can get into download mode, odin should fix it right up for you.
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Hands up anyone who has rather large hands like myself?

Typing on HTC's "Sense" UI touch keyboard on the HD2 was nothing short of painful for the time I was using it before discovering Swype. But let's leave Swype out of this and concentrate on simply 'touch input' keyboards available for the HD2.

I've been so close to wanting to sell my HD2 to buy a handset with a dedicated Qwerty keyboard (like the Desire Z) due to the fact that Android on HD2 hadn't really reached the reliability I needed for everyday use battery and stability wise, which meant using WM6.5 as my main OS. I like WM but my god: @!&% the on screen keypad!

Lately I've been using Resco Keyboard Pro 6 in WM which has helped a lot. To be honest ANYTHING would be an improvement over the awful keypad that comes with the phone though; why are the keys so friggin short? Why in the sam hell is the tactile feedback produced from pressing the keypad so pathetic? Why are the keys so cramped together?

Now let's come to Android... I can't really say why, but typing in Android, using any build with varying skins and layouts is a BREEZE compared to literaly anything I've ever used with Windows Mobile. Perhaps it's because more of the screen can be dedicated to the keyboard? Perhaps it's because the keys are a good hight and spaced nigh-on perfectly? Or because the vibration feedback given when typing is exactly the right response you need to 'feel' when typing fast?

Every build of Android I've tried on the HD2, and there have been plenty, has been such a breathe of fresh air when it comes to inputting text compared to WM.

I've now switched to DarkStone1337's "SuperRAM" Droid build and I have to say things are finally stable enough to kiss goodbye to WM for everything but 'on the road' use (TomTom)

Anyone who has large hands and has never really become accustomed to the HD2s touch screen keypad; before you sell up and go elsewhere, join the rest of us enjoying Android.

I know it might look like nit-picking from most people's perspective but if you have the sort of hands that could slap the population of a small village, you'll know what I'm talking about.

So, in my opinion and from entirely a large hands input perspective: Switching to Android is essentially like typing on an entirely different handset altogether.
[HD2 General] sniff15:
you clearly have never used touchpal "4"
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
I have been able to get both ORB and TVeristy to stream videos, music, pictures to my GTablet with very very good results. both have the strong points (Orb has a cleaner interface, but TVeristy has streams faster.

The secret is to setup each to use FLASH as the Stream encoder. This means you must install the FLASH APK (Search this site you will find links)

In TVeristy, you do this with

http://MyIpAddress:41952/flashlib

In Orb

You need to set the your skin to HOME THEATER. And your Streaming to FLASH.

No special Video player or other hacks needed. Should work on all MODS and well as STOCK.

In Cyanogen (Maybe in other mods), you have to click the Down Arrow the first time to Start-up FLASH.

The video quality is amazing even when tethered using my phone.
[G Tablet General] amathophobia:
How is your luck with streaming ac3 encoded audio streams with video on tversity? I keep coming up with video and no sound. What codec pack are you using? What options did you pass to ffdshow? Tyia.
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
I did not do any special configuration or change any FFSHOW settings. The only thing I cannot stream is ripped RAW DVD files.
[G Tablet General] bigwh00p:
Im using tversity on my windows home server and was running into the no sound issue with flash. I went to tversity's site and saw that for tversity to stream sound using the flashlib, the streaming computer needs to have a soundbcard installed.
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
I would be hard pressed to find a home computer that does not have a sound card. But good to know. My motherboard (HP) has an integrated sound card and appears to work properly. Also, remember that with the CyanogenMod, you need to use the Headphone trick or the Headphone widget to get sound working after a re-boot.

Does any one know of how to have the browsers auto-Start the Flash player?
[G Tablet General] FateZero:
I use Dolphin HD and when you set it up set flash to Always by default its (on demand) if you already set it up and need to change it, its in the options menu of the browser.
[G Tablet General] amathophobia:
I have integrated sound on my computer serving tversity. What I think the problem stems from is that it is trying to pass the Facebook audio along without reencoding it. I've been trying everything I can come up with for the week trying to get around the sound issue with no luck. What codec pack are you using?

Are you using the ORBLIVE app, or just using the web page?
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
Just the web Page. By setting it to HOME THEATER, it looks awesome. Give it a try
[G Tablet General] jsergel3:
What do you mean "Home theater"?

I have been using the website to view.... my problem with the website is that it does not cache very well, and I get alot of pauses. AND... when it lags enough to lose the video, there is no skipping ahead, so you have to start from the beginning again. The App caches better and it easily skips ahead.
