[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Best thing would be to get the latest Generic WWE RUU - RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release

EDIT: You will also need to create a Gold Card, use the tool in my sig below to do so.

Just to add, you will still receive OTA updates.

After you download the RUU, do the following to carry out the PB99IMG method:

(1) In order to extract the rom.zip from the RUU, run the RUU to the Welcome screen (do not connect the phone at all). While the RUU is running, go to Start > Run, and type in %Temp%.

(2) Look for the rom.zip, copy it to the Desktop, and then rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (and not PB99IM.zip.zip, the .zip is the extension and is not part of the actual filename itself)

(3) Mount your SD card and then place the PB99IMG.zip to the root of the SD card.

(4) Unmount the SD card and turn off the phone.

(5) Hold down the volume down key, and press the power button once, release the vol down key when in the Bootloader screen.

(6) You will then be asked to apply the PB99IMG.zip.

As a result, this will erase all your phone data, just like performing a hard/factory reset.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euqilobaid:
Thank you for the tips and guide MasDroid! I will use the ROM you suggested.

*i've created goldcard before i started to mess with the phone, so i can have it for "worst case" scenarios - better safe than sorry :)

How do you guys handle your media and stuff when 3/4 of the time the Kies software doesnt recognize the damn phone? Heck I have the proper drivers installed and windows doesnt even want to recognize it!!! I have done the recovery in Kies and thats not working either. I am not running any roms but I am rooted. I do have Launcher Pro and I switch back to the stock one to do the connection since it never wants to work from Launcher Pro. Any pointers???

[Touch Pro CDMA] InkPouchMan:
I've got the Sprint model, and it seems like the capacitive buttons on the front are broken. the "send" button registers as a "home" and the "end" as a "back" so the physical component works but not the capacitive.

When I try to run Android, none of them work except the center one.

I've opened up the phone but can't figure out what's wrong in there. Any ideas?

Thanks.

PS: Also, sometimes when I press the buttons, they mess up the screen - the backlight doesn't turn off when the phone sleeps, and sometimes there's even some ghosting.

Seems like a grounding issue, but I can't tell where.

I just got my wife a vibrant for christmas. Its hardware locked. I did not even realize this until after I rooted and flashed eugene_373's gingerbread clone and installed one of his kernels w/ clockwork. I downloaded the update.zip for hardware locked phones. But I can't get into the 2e recovery to flash it now. Im afraid of the odin method. Is there a clockwork flashble version to remove the hardware lock

I'm sure I've seen that c thread I'll try to find it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billydroid:
Thanks man. I found the theard but you have to do it through 2E recovery or odin. Like I said scared of odin and I no longer have 2E recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
ugh, i can't find the thread it might've been lost somewhere...

How is Odin going to help? you need to be on download mode anyways to use odin.

You might need to buy a JIG, costs around 5-10 USD, which can get you into download mode in 3 seconds.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billydroid:
I got it. I installed the update.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804305. I just flashed it through clockwork, using the "install:update.zip" option and it work just fine. Thanks for trying to help man.

Also you can use adb to get into download mode. I wasn't bricked but i did not want to be either. Odin is so damn hit or miss.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Eugenes B_Stock_1120_100 Kernel #20 has an option to enable 2e recovery . Once Enabled you can flash the hardware lock fix . Heres the link http://www.multiupload.com/CBYW6WEPIB . Hope this helps .

Edit: didn't notice your post above mine. Glad to see you figured it out
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
why do people say it is hit or miss?

I have used it often now, with a problem only once, I got a fail message with the phone to computer icon, but I was able to get into download mode and fix try again with success.

Why do so many people give ODIN a stigma, is there something I should be afraid of?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byt3b0mb:
odin does sometimes get funky, but more often than not, it works like it should. just have it open and get your files loaded up then plug in your phone and put it in download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billydroid:
Odin is far from 100% working flash method. If your hardware locked it becomes risky and a headache. I'm glad you had no problems using it. But alot of us have. Especially with v1.

[Nook Color General] slayda:
I rooted my NC yesterday using the auto-nooter 2.12.25. Things seemed OK. I DLed some apps & used them. Got ADW launcher loaded and began setting it up for my preferences. The NC went most of the way through an update cycle even though I had already updated to version 1.0.1. However this time it never got to the green "n" and then it started cycling through the part where it comes up & writes "nook color", continues until the colors quit flashing & then starts back at "nook color".

None of the buttons seem to have any effect. I tried to follow the 'solution' entitled "NookColor Fix Boot Loops". I tried both the auto-nooter SD card and then when that didn't work, I tried the original manual nooter SD card.

Anyone have another idea to fix this. I'd really appreciate some help. A PM would be great or just answer here.
[Nook Color General] cwcmind:
I had the same problem earilier today, I held down the power button until it did a complete reset (about 8 seconds of holding). It is working great since.

i have not tried any of these methods no need to but i do so much messing up

i guess eventually i will with that said this might be a long way around to your solution

read both carefully
[Nook Color General] slayda:
Thanks, nookroot but this is not working.

Method 1 for unrooting - Holding those 3 keys together for over 30 seconds has no effect.

Method 2 for unrooting - I can't unroot with method 2 because the NC has to boot before I can go to settings.

Any other suggestions? In fact it seems that if it ever does power off, the only way to make it power on is to plug in its USB cord & this doesn't always work. When it does it just stats cycling. Sometimes it seems to just power up on its own and start cycling.

Whatever happened, since it's rooted I can't return it to B&N and I don't seem to be able to unroot it. Effectively I have bricked it even though many people say that's impossible.

Edit: something new just happened & I was able to go through the method 1 reset. It's booting now & looks like the B&N screen is coming up. I'm not sure how it happened. I'm going to leave it unrooted until I feel adventurous (or foolish) again.

P.S. Came back with version 1.0.0 SW.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WindowsLP:
So, i've just got a HTC HD7, and its amazing.

But....

I miss the 'hacking' and other modifications i could perform on my old device's (of of which broke and the other was a pile of poo).

So in light of this i have gone searching and came up with an older device with many modification options; this being the HTC HD2.

So yeah, thats fine. So i went on ebay (UK) and searched it out.

Within 15mins i had come to the end of my search as was feeling, well kinda :eek: at the prices. But hay ho.

This did however, get me wondering if there are any other viable alternatives to the HD2 in terms of specs and modifications (e.i dual booting) as well as availability of homebrewed roms.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orangekid:
There is nothing that even comes close. The HD2 is the ONLY phone that runs WM6.5.x with a snapdragon and capacitive screen, and is also the only natively winmo phone that can run Android almost flawlessly.

It is the only non WP7 phone that can run WP7 although no live services yet.

It really is hands down the best winmo and a great Android device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WindowsLP:
Yeah... I figured as much, extensive research told me similar, mind you always worth a try :P Thanks

It would be nice to think the same kind of functionality could be seen on the HD7 in the future.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] THE GRIZZ:
the problem is that nothing else even comes close

you can some decently priced <$250 used sets if you look long enough
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] THE GRIZZ:
that may sound like a lot of money for ancient 2009 phone but bear in mind that

hd7 spesifications+ flexabiliy of having other OSes + SDcard reader+ handy tactile buttons+ end/send call button = HD2

the only thing the hd7 does better is the (crappy)720p video but who cares about that
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mytat3:
I'm totally agree. HD2 is the best phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kurt-willems:
Yeah totally agree; and I think it will be the best device for long time. (don't see all this possibilities on a WP7)

i have a fix for restoring product code back to original for the captivate. Working with a vibrant owner who has messed up nv_dat.bin and product code and trying to port my fix for him but need some hex code info to make sure i convert the fix properly.

I am asking any willing vibrant owners who have correct product code (SGH-T959ZKATMB)

to download the free market app HEX EDIT and report some info for me.

What i need to know is the Hex code for 4 specific lines of your correct nv_data.bin (if vibrant)

1. Use Hex Editor App from market (free)

2. Open the nv_data file (once in hex editor use capacitive menu button to get to options)

3. Goto the options again and JUMP TO line 0188008 will take you to line 00188008. Will need the data from it and three other lines you will see below it.

There will 8 block of data between the line # and the text at the right that you reposted. Please post the #'s/letters for each corresponding block so i can ensure that i convert properly.

00188008 | | | | | | | | |

00188010 | | | | | | | | |

00188018 | | | | | | | | |

00188020 | | | | | | | | |

what i would need is the two numeral/letter codes for each of the blocks listed next to corresponding line #'s. Each line has 8 blocks. Also the text to the far right of the final block would help as well.

if preferred you can provide this data in a PM

If you don't want to manually transcribe the data over to a message you could snap a screen shot of the hex editor with these lines visible and post.

This seems highly unnecessary. What is the advantage of overclocking in recovery? Faster backups and restores? I would think the SD card would be the bottleneck for most people. I can't see why I would be delighted to have this...if anything it sounds like a good way to hose my recovery.

Recovery is pretty fast for the evo. I have never compared it to a Hero running that mod but it doesn't seem like it would add much but I dunno.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpyoKnig:
i had the hero and had the GodSpeed recovery.

1. ClockWork/Amon backups/restores on hero would take, I'd say, 5minutes

2. with GodSpeed it was done in less than 2 minutes

It was recovery on crack!

With that said, I'm not sure it would make much of a difference with an OC'd recovery on the EVO but who knows it might..

I've only had the EVO about 2 weeks now and came from the Hero so I have nothing to complain about, except howto my phone of the 4g partition permanently as I'm a TRAITOR! I use my EVO with Verizon :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcamposd:
yes everyone, it is faster in the recovery of nandroid backups and in the backup process, and in flashing .zip's.

@deathsled if the hero (low end android phone) does not hose its recovery there is a lesser chance to hose the evo's (best phone ever).

There is no excuse not to try it out. We have a great example coming from the Hero which does not create any circumstances of "bottle necking" the memory card or such.

I would say it is a great idea for people who does not want to spend a lot of time backing up or restoring nands' (for those who do this all the time like me-- trying out new roms, daily builds, if something messes up restoring from a backup, and flashing-- if i had the developing skills i would take on the challenge but i was not lucky with being that gifted).

thanks for your responses y'all
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rstuckmaier:
The only thing I would like is the brightness in recovery turned down. Of course I don't see a need for the splash screen being 100% brightness either. I can do any number of things on my phone and it will last all day but if I flash a couple of kernels (including backups and wipes) my battery gets killed. I think like 30-40% led brightness would help a lot.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and new to the p500 (well, actually I don't have the phone myself but both my daughter and son got one for Christmas).

First of all, we live in Norway and we have trouble making Norwegian the default language on one of the phones.

On initial startup, we were asked in German to enter PIN, then we chose Norwegian from the list of languages. So far so good. After being off overnight, when we turn on the phone we're asked in German to enter PIN, after that the phone language is Swedish (!). We enter "Settings", "Locale and text", "Choose language" and then Norwegian. After that everything is fine until the phone is turned off and on again, when it reverts back to German and Swedish.

On the other phone where we have no problems it says "Norwegian" under "Choose language", on the problem phone it says nothing here regardless of language chosen, so it looks like the chosen language is not "remembered".

I've done a factory reset, to no avail.

Setting the language each time the phone is switched on is a bit boring so I really hope someone on this forum knows a solution to this.
