[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopy:
Decided to root my desire this evening. I've booted into hboot menu using the volume down and power button keys.

I see these 4 options only:

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

No "HBOOT USB"!

What next??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
The top should say HBOOT USB when you plug your phone into your computer via USB.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopy:
Do I have to connect the phone via USB to the phone here?

Am following the steps mentioned here and STEP 3 mentions about selecting HBOOT USB which is supposed to be the 4th option? And I do not see it.

Just making sure I don't mess anything up!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopy:
I guess that 4th option is for EVO. I just plugged the USB cable and everything worked. I guess.

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopy:
Successfully ROOTED!

Thanks xda forums!

Next step: flashing a custom ROM!

Cheers!

Hello everyone

I have a problem with my Froyo, I have a Galaxy 3 I5800 and i have installed Froyo.

The problem is, when I plug the USB cable it recognizes it, no problem so far, but, when I unplug the USB cable, Froyo doesn't recognize that it has been unplugged.

Actually, it keeps charging the battery for ever, untill it's (I dont know how) full.

Where's the problem here? What do i have to do?

Thank you very much.

Okay i know im going to get screamed at but im tired of looking for it in the threads. I downloaded a custom rom to my phone...it's nice. but now i want to flash a back to froyo 2.2, i have the odine one click and i can flash back pretty easy. But the only thing is, if i flash back to 2.2 i won't have full marke access. Is there anyway to flash back to 2.2 and still have full market access, yes my phone is rooted, i just need to know how to get full marked access on 2.2 Froyo. Sorry guys...don't kill me...
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Which Froyo 2.2 do you want? One click Odin gets you 2.1. For 2.2 there were a couple of beta releases and then all custom Roms.

I am sorry you are tired of looking, but you really should spend the time to understand how all the pieces fit together. In the limited info you have provided there are way to many "in this case" scenarios.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
there is also a oneclick odin for 2.2 JI6
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
where is this 2.2 odin?
[Captivate General] sremick:
All the Android 2.2 ROMs for the Captivate are "custom ROMs" as 2.2 hasn't actually been released for the Captivate yet. The custom 2.2 ROMs are all either based on unfinished leaked "beta" code or 2.2 for other hardware that's been hacked-up to try and work as best it can on the Captivate.

The Captivate comes with Android 2.1... perhaps that's what you meant?

Is there anyway to undo gfree?? I think I messed up my phone by rebooting it and pressing volume up, every now and then my power button doesn't go to sleep when I pressed it after a while 10-20secs it will prompt shutdown selector, at first I thought its broken but when I fast boot it keeps on pressing power button and it goes around and around.

Any help or suggestions would be pretty much appreciated thnks....

[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yes, you can undo gfree, see the Wiki for details.

But it sounds to me like your Power button is stuck, nothing to do with gfree IMHO.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keinengel:
I agree with steviewevie, you should check your power button.

You can use the KeynrTracker app in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850464

I know there was an app that monitored key input events and was very useful when I was modding my keymap file, but I can't remember its name.

Thank you guys so much for helping me around my problems, I didn't undo gfree bcoz of the button remapper you showed me but one thing what if I put power button to none what will happen how can I turn it on??

EDIT: nothing had worked from button remapper, still green light on gfree

EDIT: its working cause I was so stupid that I put power to power and just changed it to none sorry guys, undo gfree no go..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [armitage]:
Well the thread title basically says it all.

Does it matter in any way,which recovery I use?

I'd like to flash the latest cyanogen,as that was the latest rom I had on my pulse before getting the desire and I'd really like to use it again.

Phone info:

S-ON

PVT4

Erasesize 40000

Latest radio

Root and SU is working fine so far and I currently have amon-ra v2 on it.

Is there anything that I should read or look out for before starting to flash cyanogen,or any other rom,for that matter.

I know...this has probably been answered before,but you guys really have a huge amount of info here and it's kinda hard to really find the necessary answers.

So thanks in advance for any answers... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
If you read the s-off thread about PVT-4 new (40000) devices, it specifically suggested to flash the modified 2.5.1.3 clockwork image with unrEVOked as a temporary fix... so, if i were you, i would have gone with what was recommended.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randal24:
That's what I've done, although I've had problems flashing a couple of ROMs with the modified CWM for PVT4 40K devices. It has been suggested that I switch to Amon Ra but I can't find anything specific for the PVT4 devices so I'm staying put for now. LeeDroid ticks all the boxes at the moment. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Well, i know oxygen, reflextsense, and miui also work for pvt-4 (40000) devices, could try one of those if you like :-)

I think you may like miui but like you said, its about personal preference :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [armitage]:
Well in that thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10148951#post10148951

I also did read that someone recommended amon-ra regarding the 4000 devices,so I flashed that.

But no problem,I'll switch to the clockworkmod version that's been posted over there.

Bummer that I jumped on the desire wagon a little late,so that I now have one of these devices, where you have to be a little more careful then usual.

Do you know,if cyanogen is one of the roms that I should be able to use,or should I rather stick to the ones you mentioned,for now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
I cannot say for sure friend, maybe just stick with the ones we know are certain to work. Have you tried asking in the Cyanogen ROM thread?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [armitage]:
Not yet,will have a look at the thread later on,maybe it has been mentioned there already.

Thanks for your help.:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Oks, good luck :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [armitage]:
Re-using my thread here, cause even though the original question has been answered,my new question is still pretty much the same.

Anyway...I red a lot about this in the clockworkmod and amonra thread but didn't really find a real answer.

Problem is that many people wrote that they have problems with all clockwork versions above 2.5.0.7 cause they were never really meant for the desire.

Few guys mentioned problems with usb after restoring a backup,some lost the sd-ext and so on.

So my question is...Is there actually anyone,with a pvt4 erasesize 40k device,that has either used clockworkmod or amon-ra, to successfully create and restore a backup of their rom,without any problems?

An answer would be really appreciated,cause I would really love to have a backup of my rom,that I could actually use,without any problems,if something would go wrong. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [armitage]:
bump......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navien:
I´ve such a device (PVT4 with erasesize 40000) and had no problems using amon-ra to create a nandroid backup and restore that backup. tested it several times.

FYI: cyanogenmod 6.1 and leedroid 2.3 worked without any problems.

my device has s-off due to alpharev 1.8 but currently there are no modified partition layouts available for the devices with new nand layout.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [armitage]:
Thanks a lot mate,that's really good to know.

I did find the 2.0 thread but heard a lot about a 2.0.1 version beeing available.

I'm guessing you have amon-ra 2.0 or 2.0.1 installed?

If 2.0.1 could you maybe give me a link to that one?

Thanks... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navien:
I´m currently using amon-ra v2.0.1 but have no idea what´s the difference to v2.0.

Hello,

How do I change the appearance of the Black appearance ?

Preferably like the Samsung Tab or any other colour

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
Do you.mean the UI or the hardware
[Wildfire General] wilbur-force:
....assuming you mean the UI then try some of the Launchers available from the market. My personal favourite is LauncherPro which is very customisable.

....otherwise you surely didnt mean the wallpaper :eek::D
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
If you're talking about the status bar and icons etc. you need to be rooted and flash framework mods. if you just mean the homescreens, dl a launcher like launcher pro or adw.
[Wildfire General] hbm2679:
Thanks for all your replies.

I meant the APPEARANCE Black colour. Eg. This white and blue xda app appearance

Should I say skin in other words?
[Wildfire General] wilbur-force:
Yep. Skin might be a better way to put it. Various apps are 'skinable' and will allow you to change colours etc. If you mean the XDA app then to be honest i dont use it.

For any particular app try searching the app name and 'skin'.

[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Can someone make a recommendation? I basically want to sideload some apk's & pictures, videos & books. I was using Calibre for sideloading non B&N books with Win Explorer for wallpaper. I was partially successful at getting USB ADB working, got driver working, but realized that Windows now does not see the NC as a mass storage device & Calibre will not ID it. Am I better off just putting apk's on the sd card & installing via Astro file mgr? Any insight on this subject is appreciated.

Thanks,

[Nook Color General] saeba:
For me... Got my NC for Christmas :-)! I followed the BN instructions to download and update my NC to 1.0.1. I then followed the instructions for using Auto-Nooter and then these for setting up the USB drivers in Windows:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882751

And it works for all cases. I can use ADB, Windows sees it as a mass storage device and Calibre connects to it. Something could be wrong with your USB setup. Try checking out the thread I used.
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
OK, as long as Win. still sees it as before & Calibre still works, I will try to get ADB working over USB. Right now Windows "computer" doesn't see it, but it shows in Device Mgr as Android Phone/Android ADB interface. The NC is ON & displaying the USB mode screen. Since explorer doesn't see it, I can't eject it. As I said, I will back up & try the ADB setup again. If anyone knows what I did wrong, please speak up. I will be working on this this afternoon. Should I remove the ADB driver & start from the beginning?

Thanks,

Kev

Update: Got it working. At least it reported the serial number when I ran "adb devices". I can now see the NC in explorer & device mgr shows the device. I now need to learn to use these new adb tools. Any helpful instructions I can read?

Thanks,

kev
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
If using my computer and I find an apk. I want to install, I use dropbox. I then open dropbox on the NC download the apk and install it.

Also the Wireless ADB app works well too.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I honestly have no clue why so many people are mucking around with ADB and command lines. If people like doing things the hard way, fine, install apps via ADB, but there are much simpler ways to do things.

Yes, there are a handful of things that need to be done by ADB, but installing standard apps is not one of them.

EDIT: Reworded for clarity of target.
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Well, I did ask for recommendations in the OP! Care to make one?

Cheers,

[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Oh, certainly, what I meant was a file manager is great for it, as it's the other method you mentioned. Dropbox is by far the easiest way I've found to move things from your PC to your Android device, too.

My comment about people "doing things the hard way" wasn't specifically directed at you, either, although upon looking back it does seem to come off that way. I'll fix it. Anyway, what I meant was that everywhere I go I see people posting very long sets of commands for people to type in to ADB or the Terminal so that they can accomplish things that are easily done with the push of a button or two in the appropriate app. And then I see lots of people responding with "It didn't work" which usually means they typed something wrong.

The command line is wonderful because it's so powerful and precise, but that doesn't mean it should be used for every simple task.

I find that the majority of things that I need to do can be done with Root Explorer.

I have been experiencing significant 3g radio issues with this phone. The phone often will not maintain 3g signal but shifts from 3 bars of 3g to none to edge to 2 or 3 bars. This is while stationary. initially I thought the antenna on this dvp was poor because I often seemed to have 3g but no bars. But while stationary I get 2 or 3 bars, then nothing so the antenna can receive but the radio can't maintain a lock. i believe this radio seriously needs an update. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Venue Pro General] echoj8:
I'm having the same problems. I'm hoping they update it soon.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Is this while you are holding it? The DVP (like the HD7) seems to have deathgrip.
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
Don't know about the death grip, but just noticed the issues thread at the top is reporting this issue also as common for all dvp's. Don't know if that is conclusive, but I may have found a temporary solution until they can get the radio patched. Will share if I can keep the 3g stable the rest of today.
[Venue Pro General] BISDAKinLA:
Please do share. I'm getting frustrated about this issue.
[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
I have noticed that the latest DVP that I have is having more connectivity issues with 3G than the Engineering Sample that I had in November. My other TMO phone gets a decent signal but the DVP keeps fluctuating from 3 bars to no signal while sitting next to my other phone that has a strong signal.

I certainly hope this is something that they can address but I am starting to wonder if my quest for this form factor and screen is in vain.
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
Ok, today I had a difficult time getting the phone to lose it's 3g connection. Only in an area known to have little or no 3g reception did my dvp switch to edge when I was in a restaurant. Other than that I was edge free all day. This kept me free of lock ups today and improved battery life. 3G reception was improved but still showed need for signal consistency. Hopefully a radio firmware patch will fix this soon. Meanwhile it seems that going into the phone's settings and turning on location and also checking both check boxes under "find my phone" have had the effect of keeping the phone in 3g for me.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Your checkbox idea kind of works. I will watch it all through the day and see if it holds.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
I am happy to report that the 'sureloch' suggestion really works and i haven't seen the signal switching like crazy. If an area has 3G reception the DVP holds on.
[Venue Pro General] BISDAKinLA:
It worked for me too in some areas. Does ATT has more 3g coverage than Tmobile? I live in Los Angeles county and for some reason my wife (att) gets more 3g. Is it because I have the DVP that the signal isn't that good?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Has anyone noticed any adverse effect on battery life?
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Will try it myself.. I have noticed using mobilespeedtest.com it seems the pone switches "on" 3G.. I will be at 2 bars Edge and then run the test and poof I get 3 bars of 3G.

That said I have been getting CRAZY fast (HSDPA+) speeds. Be it at the T-mbile store or my front porch.. I consistantly get 10MBPS to 37MBPS.. using 2MB and 7MB tests !

Anyone else getting 4G speeds on thier DVP?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Yes, the same here..17 mbps for 2mb test :eek: I compared to the 'other' phone and it was 1-3mb.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
So even though the DVP never shows an "H" but instead just stays on the "3G" symbol, you're saying that speedtests suggest it is doing HSPDA?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Yes, it shows 3G on the phone. And that's what the results say. Here is the result for each test.

100KB: 1.6mbps (me) 2.5mbps (4G/Wimax) 400kbps (3G/HSDPA)

500KB: 4.04mbps (me) 2.5mbps (4G/Wimax) 400kbps (3G/HSDPA)

1MB: 10.3mbps (me) 2.5mbps (4G/Wimax) 400kbps (3G/HSDPA)

2MB: 16.0mbps (me) 2.5mbps (4G/Wimax) 400kbps (3G/HSDPA)

5MB: 20.6 mbps (me) 2.5mbps (4G/Wimax) 400kbps (3G/HSDPA)

7MB: 23.7 mbps (me) 2.5mbps (4G/Wimax) 400kbps (3G/HSDPA)

I am surprised. I think it might be because t-mobile is using the same 3G band for 4G(if its the case)?
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
I have gotten as high as 32.5 mbps on the 7MG test regularly..

Nice to see others having the same "issue".

Isn't it nice to have an "issue" with the phone or something undocumented that is a PLUS and not a minus :)

That said its reporting of Edge or 3G strength bands varies greatly standing in the same place with my hands on or not on the phone (although it does seem to jump around more when I am holding it.)

So I am thinking the DVP maybe throttling down what band your on depending on what the phone is doing. I.e. its not reporting how much signal you are getting but how much signal you are using..? Is that possible?
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
I am showing between 20-30mb/sec on t-mobile, phone signal says 3g, but that is how fast it is transferring the 7mb file consistently. Other tests show similar results for smaller file size tests. Mobilespeedtest.com
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
The official specs of the phone list HSDPA 7.2 Mbit and HSUPA 5.6 Mbit. These numbers sound fishy.

I rooted my nookcolor today using 2.12.25. I linked to gmail and browsed the web and then put the nook on the charger. When I went back to use the nook about an hour later, the nook had a black screen and was unresponsive. Held the power button down for 10sec and still nothing. I also tried n, + and power and nothing. Tried nooter sd and the n goes green and windows sees it as a Android ADB device. Any suggestions? :(
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
By any chance do you have the microsd card still inserted with the image file on it? Remove it (if so) and hold the power button for 15 sec to shut down. Then start up w/o the card.

If you do not, try an adb reboot to see what happens. We can pretty much guarantee you do not have a brick, if you can see it in adb.
[Nook Color General] brockster:
Thanks for your response. I will try to connect via adb when I get home tonight.

If that does not work, just start again, by flashing back to a clean stock image and then wiping the data, which is also also in that tutorial.
