[Desire General] ExtremeGMX:
Hello there!

I want to root my HTC Desire, actually I already did it but unsuccessful. I rooted it with UnRevoked, but I couldn't flash a custom ROM because clockworkmod doesn't work with PVT4. So I wanted to change recovery to Amon ra but again without success. Then I decided to unroot and there were again some problems with HTC Sync. At the end, I finally made it and unrooted my phone with the same official ROM as it was before. Today I found out my desire "has" erasesize 40000.

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

So my question is how to root my desire and finally flash a custom ROM?(i ran out of ideas :()

Also I read not all ROMS are working with erasize 40000? Is This true ?(cyanogenmod 7)

Please somebody help me!

Thanks!
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
Well, I've never connected headphones to my Defy (oft give reason for this failure) but today my handset's speaker works no longer. Actually, I hardly ever used it, prefering instead to use the (excellent) speakerphone, but where more privacy is desired there's a need to use the handset's speaker, so I will be asking for my Defy to be replaced/repaired, BUT, I've customized it extensively (it's rooted, and all) so I'm wondering what should I back up from it, and how, to later restore it all to the replacement device, and be back to where I'm now?

Thanks
[Defy General] nisamtetreb:
I'd hope Clockwork recovery should backup everything.
[Defy General] bihariel:
1- do a nand backup in order to restore it when defy is repaired.

2- do a full factory reset from recovery.

3- Flash you version of original firmware from http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
Thank you both for your suggestions. Here's one thing that still gives me a concern; what if the reason for the failure is somewhat software related, or a hardware/software combination. Then, restoring en masse the original software could potentially overwrite the software part of the fix.

BTW, I'm not going to rush to exchange the device, and chance getting another one that would fail again until this whole affair settles down. So far Motorola has been pretty mum on the issue, even if seemingly responding in the afirmative to the guy in Germany who took appart a failed device and determined to his satisfaction that the problem was with how the speaker is soldered. His contention was that it was the interaction between the speaker and the headphone jack. OK, this seems like a reasonable conclusion, BUT, I have not used headphones with my Defy nor have I ever dropped it. The speaker simply worked in the evening of one day, and it didn't the following morning after the device was sitting on the nightstand during that time.
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
Update: I stopped by a T-mobile store hoping to see if they had phones from the new production runs and exchange mine. The store had no Defys at all, so the clerk arranged for a warranty replacement. It will be cross-shipped. Holding my breath now, but it sounds like in the States T-mobile is repairing the phones. I was told that my replacement will arrive without the Sim, the memory card, or the back cover.

Tapped into XDA app on Moto Defy
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
So, I received the replacement phone. Happy to say that it's a new unit from the new production run; mine is the BT09 series. Also, having the phones side by side, I see no difference in build quality (there was a post suggesting that the newer phones were of lesser built and lower quality materials); both phones feel equally solid, with no rattling switches, and the materials (plastics) look and feel the same.

Now, it turns out that restoring my old setup on the new phone will take some doing. Since I was not using Blur for my e-mail accounts (except one Exchange account for work) I needed to recreate my Google accounts. Nothing to it, but the Market apps are a different matter; only the paid apps were "remembered". Should I just restore all my apps from Titanium Backup backup? BTW, the Blur version is still the original one, before the OTA latest update.
[Focus General] buffalosolja42:
I am trying to get my focus to utilize the shop savvy app, but it doesn't take as good of close ups as my TP2, is there a setting or anything I need to change. Thanks in advanced.
[Focus General] bpsmicro:
When you fire up the camera, go into settings. Click "AF Mode", and choose "Macro". That should do the trick.

The other thing is to experiment with the flash off, or shoot at a slight angle to minimize glare.

Unfortunately, as you probably know, the camera settings always revert back to the defaults every time you exit the camera. That's one of the common complaints we're all hoping will be fixed by a software update.

Brad.
[Focus General] buffalosolja42:
thanks I will try that, trying at work no luck as of yet. Have you tried the app shopsavvy yet?
[Focus General] bbakermai:
Shop Savvy and BarCode pics

I'm using it, and it usually takes a couple of tries before I get a good picture that's recognizable. Have not tried the Macro setting, but I have noticed that the focus beep must sound before I snap for the picture or else I get gobblygook.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
Microsoft Tag app is garbage.. I tired for an hour to scan in 10 diffrent tags. Changing camera settings for AF mode, lighting, etc. etc. Even they admit they need to make it use the video mode to line up the tag to scan. Until they fix it, it's a mediocre app at best
[Focus General] prubin:
Hold the camera button half way down - picture will focus on bar code - then depress and you should have proper result.
[Focus General] RichPark:
This along with turning the flash off works like a charm. I have been going around the house snapping all my bar code labels. It works surprisingly well. Thanks
[Focus General] TriAxisFL:
I have scanned a few barcodes and it worked for me. The main things is to turn off the Flash, and use the half press on the camera to focus properly. Then once it beeps snap the picture. I never switch to Macro mode and the half press takes perfect closeups.
[General Questions and Answers] Wolves4Ever:
Just moved from Windows Mobile 6.5 to android. On the whole impressed so far. One little issue I have though, is why when I open up a contact, I can obviously call that person, and also email them, but cant send a text/sms..... Seems a strange omission when WM65 did it no probs... Anyone got any ideas around this?

Cheers.
[7 Mozart General] slyk2203:
hi

I found this guide on the internet. I might by useful for your....

In this guide, we show you how to tweak your registry so that your computer recognizes the HTC 7 Mozart as a removable USB drive. You'll only have access to the Music, Pictures and Videos folders, but those are the most important folders anyway when it comes to moving big files.

1. Open Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit in your start menu

2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB

3. Perform a search for ZuneDriver

1. The search should yield a result similar to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&27ffd631&0&0000\Device Parameters\WUDF

4. Click up one level to the Device Parameters key

5. Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1

6. Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0

7. Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1

8. Change EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport

That's it! You can now plug your HTC 7 Mozart into your Windows PC using the supplied USB cable and it will be recognized as a USB drive.

regards.
[7 Mozart General] kms108:
Thanks, would it be possible to use this method to locate the ringtone folder.
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
Hi, didn't work on my Windows 7 (32 bit) ?

what value should I change in "8. Change EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport

"?

thanks.
[7 Mozart General] Spyaxman:
To nothing don´t change

Close zune and then conect usb cable and will apear 2 icons of multimedia, inside is harddrive but only acess 4 folders and ringtone its not one of them but its a good thing
[7 Mozart General] carlb007:
Has anyone else got this to work?

Ive changed my registery settings and when i connect the device i can see 2 (not sure why its there twice!) Mozart 7 devices with the label 'portable media player' underneath them.

However when i click into them it shows nothing? Any ideas?

Thanks!
[7 Mozart General] prakuece:
Thanks ! it works perfect.. on my windows 7 32 bit OS.
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
it didn't work for me. will try some other time though.
[7 Mozart General] hassler:
it works.................confirmed :)
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
where exactly we'll see two icons? in windows explorer alongwith c and d drives? may be i m missing something.
[7 Mozart General] HkDng:
Can see as USB but nothing to do with, that means nothing :(
[7 Mozart General] meegulthwarp:
For those who can see 2 empty instances of HTC 7 Mozart, I have copied the below quote from this thread in the HTC Surround section:

I can confirm this works and if the OP could edit these into his post I would be most grateful.
[7 Mozart General] js0937:
nope

it works like a charm, but you only get to see the storage part.. all 6Gigs :s

you can prob copy music to the phone this way..

the hack worked cool though :-)
[7 Mozart General] whihathac:
I can just see the USB drive.. but cant copy anything :(:confused:
[7 Mozart General] dicky2208:
manage to make it only showing 1 drive...

but there's nothing inside after clicking the "Storage"

How do i display my music, video,... folders?
[7 Mozart General] vois:
Don't forget to close the Zune software if it opens when you connect your phone.
[7 Mozart General] africano:
Thanks ! it works very good

with windows 7 32 bit OS.
[7 Mozart General] Maya13:
usb driver htc mozart

hi all,

could you please help me with usb driver for htc mozart, i see everything till USB and after that i cannot see neither Zunedriver or WUDF, is there any other ways to find out?

thank you
[7 Mozart General] ojejoe:
In order to see all the files, your phone has to be on welcome screen, when you open photos or music and videos, that's the end of it, you have to reconnect again.
[7 Mozart General] hasmal:
tq its work
[7 Mozart General] Davey_in_dud:
Excellent hack! Works great...

But, you must have followed BOTH sets of instructions by slyk2203 and meegulthwarp. Windows exployer also only showed the media folders when I had the Zune app open on the device (not on the PC) and also only when there were existing files in each part. I.e... load a music track, picture and a video file with zune beforehand.

Now interestingly I have noticed that Zune downsamples any video clips that you drag onto the device. Even perfectly suitable .wmv files are re-encoded to a lower resolution. Now though, thanks to this hack, I can copy high res .wmv files onto my device. What's more they play back beautifully!
[7 Mozart General] ravenrip:
Works great, tried on XP, thanks

use the attached regedit file(XP), it will make all the required changes.
[7 Mozart General] gfunkzero:
I just had to do this, note that it's much less hassle than installing Zune - thanks OP :)
[7 Mozart General] astronman:
Thanks ! it works perfect.. on my windows 7 64 bit OS.
[7 Mozart General] beany2009:
dont work on win7 x64

the following is not in the registry

any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebu1:
my phone is rooted with one click lag fix, no partition or lag fix enabled. I downloaded Rom Manager from the market and installed clockwork recovery image. In Rom Manager it shows that it's installed, but when I go to the recovery at startup, it takes me to the stock android recovery 2e. I've tried reinstalling different versions of clockwork with the same results. Can anyone help a noob out? thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
when it takes u to the stock recovery screen....scroll down and hit "reinstall packages"....it should reboot into CWM recovery...if it doesnt hit it again and it should go straight to CWM recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebu1:
That worked, thanks for the help
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
When ever I take a screen shot it always ends up with a weird color shift. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Dell Streak on "offical" 2.2

I.ve tried both ShootMe and DropCap
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
Example
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
This example should be bla ck and green with white text.
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
here is the original version of the wallpaper.

See what I mean about color skew? It is completely wrong. It displays perfectly fine on my device. but after I do a screen capture, it shows the resulting image as ... this. I don't even know how to describe it except to say that the whole image is color shifted.

Any suggestions? I've used both ShootMe and DropCap.
[Streak 5 General] streak4m3:
I have the same issue - would like to find out if there is a way to fix it.
[Streak 5 General] fadifafitto:
I had the same issue with both screen capture app's, ShootMe and DropCap2,

but found a work around, using the free MyPhoneExplorer app,

there is an option to capture the screen from the PC, while connecting to the streak,

by going to menu, click on Extras, then click on ''Load screenshot'',

hope someone would find a better app to take a screenshot from the streak though,
[Streak 5 General] mancterrier:
Use screenshot app, works fine
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
screenshot works perfectly.

I wonder why it works and the others don't ...

Thanks for the tip.
[Nook Color General] bsnyder217:
Is there anyway to change the lcd density without messing up the status bar and book menu? I've tried lcd density changer but it messes up the book ui.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I'd love to have this too, but the status bar was designed with the very low density of 169.3333 in mind, so it unfortunately grows and gets cut off when the density is raised.

I don't use the Nook reader, but the same goes for it.

Until we get custom ROMs, the only way I can imagine changing the status bar is ripping open the framework-res.apk and resizing the icons. I haven't tried this though.

I'd love to hear others' ideas on this too.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sharksanks:
Ive read that using the usb cable to transfer stuff sometimes corrupts the SD Card if proper unmounting procedures are not followed. Someone pls list the step by step way to disconnect your phone from a PC. Also does it require any settings changes in the phone itself before and after using with the PC?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
In system tray, right click and select unmount of device, then turn of mass storage mode on phone. Thats all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhki:
Hi,

today i installed a few apps from pc on my desire with htc sync. Before I've done this, i deleted the flash update and later the Google Maps update. With the Sms Backup app i made a Backup of all my Sms and then i deleted them.

Well, after i tried all new apps and deinstalled them, i want to install the flash and google maps update again, but i cant because i have not enough free internmemory for both... before i always had ~ 3MB of Free internmemory.

this makes no sense for me...

can somebody help?

sry for my bad english.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ben's:
The OTA 2.2.1 update made things complicated for Droid users who want to root and download non market apps. After several days, countless hours and trial and error, this is my little write up on how I rooted a Motorolla Droid running 2.2.1 Build # FRG83D.

z4root no longer works and neither does the ability to download non market apps with 2.2.1. This is the easiest way to do it although there are other longer processes to root your phone which may have not been used on a 2.2.1 Moto Droid. I did a factory reset before I started but that is optional, let's begin.

*** Disclaimer ***

Please make a Nandroid or backup before this just incase.

1. Go to Motorolla's site and downloaded the Motorola 4.8.0 Driver with MotoConnect here. This program automatically downloads the driver your computer needs. This is a MUST. Lots of websites’ and write-ups forget or are vague on this easy step and it makes for a headache. Once downloaded, click on “Update Drivers” and click start. (You can download the driver file and wait for your Hardware Manager to pop up and go that route or just take the easy way and do this)

2. Download the latest version of Superoneclick and follow its directions on how to install it, you can find it here.

3. Connect your phone with your PC via USB. Make sure that USB debugging is ON. I removed my SD card to be on the safe side but if you choose not to, make sure you do not mount the SD card.

4. Open the Superoneclick program after un-zipping it, in Administrator mode. Follow the directions, there is even a video on how to do it. After your phone is rooted, click on " Allow non market apps ". Superuser should now be installed on your phone in your app's list.

*** The newest version of Superoneclick install BusyBox along with Superuser. Open your app drawer and look for these two. If both are there, you are done! If not, continue to step #5. ***

5. Disconnect your phone from your computer and restart your phone. It's not needed but, it's best to start with a fresh restart.

6. Go into your market from your phone, download Busybox ( free app ) and run it. Once installed, make sure within the app it states that your phone is rooted and the latest version of Busybox is displayed.

7. Restart your phone, this step is a must.

Your phone now has root access. You can download non market apps as well. I use Titanium Backup to remove bloat and such but you can use your favorite file manager.

Why the OTA 2.2.1 made things disfunctional, I don't know but this is my little solution and hope it helps.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ben's:
I am going to give this a nice healthy bump since I have seen a couple Root confusion threads. I will be more then happy to answer any questions.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Sysor:
THANKS

Thank you so much!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skandranon314:
Working on a Droid 1 for the first time. This is just the info I needed! Thank you sir! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ben's:
Not a problem! I actually find that a stock ROMed, rooted and cleaned up Droid 1 is just as quick as the ROMs available to download if not quicker. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DroidFellow:
Thanks!

Hi,

Wanted to say thanks! Your write up was concise, straightforward and easy to understand... The app worked just like it said it would and rooted my Droid (the original) 2.2.1 FRG83D like a charm!

The Tutorial was a god send as that clarified what to expect and how to react if something went "brown & lumpy".

Thanks and now off to make a backup before learning the other fun stuff!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] indie1138:
Tried this, downloaded the driver PC sees the phone, check

DL and run superone click, Check

no busybox, download and install, says rooted, check

here's the problem, can't get into recovery can't do a nand before or after rooting. seems recovery can't see the sdcrad.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] A2Aegis:
Just rooted my OG Droid. Thanks for the guide!

Edit: Just noticed that BusyBox didn't install with SuperOneClick, and that it is failing to install with the BusyBox installer app.

Edit: Okay, BusyBox installed. Backup created, ready for some ROMs!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ben's:
The new version of superoneclick should install busy box if not get busybox from the market.

How did you get busy box to finally install? What solved the problem?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] A2Aegis:
For some reason my SU settings didn't pop up, and that caused the install to fail. The 2nd time around, it asked me for permission and it worked.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darksidestudios:
K I need help please. I used the rs4 lite guide to root the wife's phone ,that was successful, installed rom manager and did the clock mod flash now I can't get recovery,none , I installed busy box and still nothing lol, help I was gonna put cyan 7 on
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darksidestudios:
I figured it out lol, just had to search the forums a bit more , running cyanogen 7 and is a sweet rom . Sry for being a noob . Thanks to all who came up the Rome and cracks y'all rock:D

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] micl9:
Hey All,

This is going to be somewhat on and off topic.

I have jumped into the world of Android with both feet in the last few weeks.

So far I have obtained:

A Color nook which I have rooted using

autonooter 3.0.0

running stock OS and also run Honeycomb off my SD card (until the real version comes out)

A Moto Backflip which I have rooted using

rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

and is now running

Unofficial CyanogenMod v6.1.2 (Froyo 2.2.1)

And Now I just bought a Droid with a dead battery, 16GB SDcard and a bad micro USB port for $25! (figured at $25 for a 16GB card it was worth the risk) I was able to "jump start" the battery and got it to power on. Its currently running 2.2.1 with build number FRG83D and is not rooted. Looks like the digitizer has a dead swath right down the middle.:mad:

Anyway, I can fix both things for <$30, so at $55 I still think I got a deal. Not too mention the fun of repairing and hacking it! :D

So my question:

I plan to use it for a little while before spending $$$ and making the repairs. But w/o a USB connector it does not seem that I can root my version.

Do I have any other options? keep in mind the current lack of ability to push things with ADB.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] azshorty2003:
Super fast and easy. thank you so much!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] azshorty2003:
have you tried adb wireless from the marketplace? i got a nook color recently too and had a hell of a time with adb through usb, but adb wirless seems to work great.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] micl9:
THAT'S IT! Thanks!

Any suggestions for the best How to to follow?

EDIT: Shoot requires root to run. I cant root without a USB connection.

Guess I am still waiting till after I do the repairs
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] micl9:
Well replacing the digitizer was easy. The USB connector - not so much.

Gave up as my PCB repair guy at work was worried the the rework would possibly damage other components near by.

My next step is to try and jumper the data lines to hook up USB. Once rooted I can use adb wireless.

Anyone have any other ideas:confused:

Does ADB work over bluetooth?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] slsmag:
FYI... had my original Droid since Nov 2009 and never rooted it before.

I used these instructions to download and run SuperOneClick 1.7.

It ran without a hiccup on my Droid(1) running Android 2.2.2 (Kernel v. 2.6.329 FRG83)

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] micl9:
Was able to rig up a USB connection that held stable long enough to ROOT MY DROID using SuperOneClick!

AWESOME - now to pick a ROM :D - went with Peter Alfonso's Stock Rooted Gingerbread (2.3.3) ROM Update GPA13

Oh yeah mine was Android 2.2.2 -FRG83G as well
