Hello there from Greece...

I'm a happy owner of one LG P500 but there are 2 things that I can solve.

1) I install the HandcentSMS program and I turn of the notification from the native SMS app but in lockscreen.When I have an SMS which I read with Handcent,in lockscreen there is an SMS notification even if I have read this with Handcent.

I have to read this with the native sms app to disappear the lock screen notification.It's quite annoying all this....:(

How can I solve this?

2) I try to find an option to send songs via BT but I can't find something like this.Only with Astro File Manager I am able to send music.Is this the only solution?

Thank you in advance and a Happy New Year !!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
So:

1) This should be helpfull Remove lock screen message notification?

2) I also didn't find way how to do that by native app, but I haven't see problem in this (sending via some other app), because android doesn't have any file manager tool in android system - so it is quite normal.

I am trying to get my wifi to never sleep, and i have set this in spare parts, but anytime I come out of stand by mode, it takes a few seconds and then wifi comes up.

New Problem which is why i want this fixed. I didnt do the adhoc wifi thing, which says it breaks your wifi to where you have to turn it off and then on for it to connect, that is what i am having to do to fix wifi. So i want to leave it on all the time.

I can't get it to work.. can't access fastboot in step 1 :( tried power for several minutes..

Here is the same with Hboot: 0.43.0001. its get complete freezed until I remove the battery, but its not bricked :-)

Ok maybe we should use this thread

Same problem, haven't been able to find a solution so far :(
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Tried that, even tried going into fastboot, and back to HBOOT doesn't work either

I've got bootloader 0.43.001 I had the keep it simple froyo rom installed when trying. I'll try the keep it simple eclair rom now
[Legend Android Development] i4o:
Same thing is here :(
[Legend Android Development] Bricolo_fr:
does this mean we can now change the partitions sizes?
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
eclair rom didn't help either, didn't really expect it to help but it was worth the try.

Any other suggestions? looks like much off us have this problem

How did you burn the iso (the ones with the fastboot problem)?

I burned it using the build in windows image burner onto a CD. I might try a USB later on but I'll stop trying for now
[Legend Android Development] juanporrero:
i do it with azure

Threadstarter,

Can you provide us a complete steps (Tutorial)on how to S-OFF the Hboot ? I totally do not understand, as i have never flash such thing before. I'm using the rooted HTC official Froyo ROM found in xda forum
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Burn the iso and boot from it. The rest of the instructions are given to you as you go

Swyped from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Is it normal that you need to press the power at the right time 2ce?

I managed to get past the first by some pretty stupid method which I'm not going to make public if I'm not sure that it works (cause it's pretty risky)

But that same method doesn't work the second time in step 2/3.

Or isn't it supposed to ask for that a 2nd time?

So I had to pull my battery out in the 2nd step and it showed a message that it was unable to flash the HBoot but luckily the old was still intact.
[Legend Android Development] HpX:
S-OFF on first try :p

I used unetbootin to make a usb boot pen, then boot into tiny core, followed instructions and

[Legend Android Development] greenolive:
The timing on this thing is impossible. The counting-method won't get me through it either. Any others tips from the ones that successfully complete the procedures?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
It's not impossible, as evidenced by the fact that others have done it. When you phone is rebooted to bootloader mode wait for about 30 seconds before continuing.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] Whoozer:
Get an normal watch and ignore your computer monitor...phone in your hand...press enter and look 3 seconds on the watch then press the power button on the phone(step 1)... wait for your phone to reboot... press enter and look 4 seconds on the watch then press the power button on the phone(step 2)... just wait and you are s-off...

That's how i did it

anybody updated to hboot 1.8? do we need to repeat the entire procedure?
[Legend Android Development] greenolive:
Thanks for the tips. I was already trying with the counting method. Got it working finally. Just burned the ISO instead of booting off a USB.

I'm loving my new splashscreen :)
[Legend Android Development] speedyink:
Damn, timing is definitely crazy. Tried doing it exactly when the computer says, I've tried counting, and now I'm on take 2 of the watch method.

Edit: Of course when I actually post this I get both of them smack on. Flashing... S-off!
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
Taken from alpharev site "Will my phone stay S-OFF forever?

Yes and no. As soon as you decide to flash a stock RUU that has a HBOOT update in it, this hacked HBOOT will be overwritten.

You do have the option to remove the HBOOT update from the rom.zip inside the RUU. Since your phone no longer checks signatures, you could easily do that.

Also, you then still have the option to flash custom recovery, or different kernels using the fastboot functions described above (fastboot flash, et al)."

----

according to this can we retrieve the rom.zip from the latest ruu and delete the boot image and hboot.nbo file and flash the remaining file thru fastboot named as LEGEIMG ?

sorry if that sounds weird....just enquiring :rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Why would you do that? Extract everything from rom.zip and flash whatever you like via fastboot...
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
thanks for reply, blayo

was wondering what will happen if we flash just the system.img ? any one tired ?
[Legend Android Development] frullewulle:
tired? a bit :-)
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Nothing would happen. You would have that new system and old kernel/initrd...

Because your doing it wrong somewhere along the way.

[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
You just burned the file onto the CD as a file, didn't you? :p
[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Hell yeah, got it up and running now! I would say the timing thing is ridiculous. Took me a few tries.
[Legend Android Development] djslyda87:
yeah i jus burned it to cd, did a bit more research and found out about md5sum and verifying and all that, i downloaded 3 programs and spent 3 hours the oher night trying to figure this thing out and couldnt do it, i wish someone would do tutorial for people who havent been to college to study programming!

NO, sim lock is something completely different. S-Off allows you to write to locked parts of nand.
[Legend Android Development] djslyda87:
lol i know how to burn an iso, burnt many over the years but i don understand the verifying bit.
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
Verifying what? You just burn it as ISO and boot your computer from the cd:)
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Perhaps if you said what the problem was, people might be able to help. As it stands, "I get an error" isn't all that useful.

lessons learned... don't update update you phone until you know what you are up against... lol
[Legend Android Development] greenolive:
Obviously he is having trouble verifying checksums of the ISO.
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
That's not relevant to his original question.
[Legend Android Development] greenolive:
No, it isn't. You are right.

I now believe his talking about verifying the burnt disc efter the burning process.

In that case my tip is to use imgburner and just tick the "Verify" box before burning
[Legend Android Development] Framedtrash:
sorry im a little slow

what is the benefit of having s-off on this device

is it just so you flash a custom recovery image ???

you dont need s-off to flash new roms right ???

do you require s-off to flash new radios ??

Yes, also to have R/W access to /system when booted up (vs in recovery only)

[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
I'm not sure if this has been answered or not, but when I try to do the power-button bit my phone is frozen as soon as the message comes up. I managed to get to the next step anyway by rebooting into fastboot then plugging it back in, but it froze for that step too. I did the same thing and plugged it back in, and it rebooted normally and the program went into a terminal. Will the timing thing (3s then 4s) work? And do I need to press it 3s after I press any key on the comp or before?
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Follow the onscreen instructions... If you get the timing right, the rest is pretty much straightforward.
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
I did follow the onscreen instructions, but when the "Press the power button on your phone NOW" came up, it was already frozen, and didn't work. I was pressing it repeatedly for about a minute and nothing happened.
[Legend Android Development] whitetigerdk:
This its exactly why you have to do the 3s/4s count.. It has been described several times.. Read thus thread again..
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
What worked for me was to start pressing the Power button as soon as you hit Enter (as opposed to waiting for the on-screen prompt).
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
I got past that part with the counting method, but it seems to have stuck on "Flashing new bootblock: OK". It's done nothing for half an hour now, and I don't know whether to leave it be for the next 3 hours (I have to go out) or take it out. I can't tell if it's done or not.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:

I use that site when I'm doing a hard reset on my routers using the 30-30-30 method

he he :D
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
I pulled it out, and rebooted - it would only boot into recovery until I re-flashed CM7, and it's been working as it had been since then. I'm not sure if it worked, though - it said it had flashed HBOOT successfully, and the bootloader has a label on it saying "--- AlphaRev ---", and it says S-OFF, but the error and that a font changer app didn't work suggests to me that it may not have worked. Is there any way to test?
[Legend Android Development] amvv:
has ur splash screen changed to alpharev...

try to uninstall a system app from titanium
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
I retained the default CM7 spashscreen, but I successfully uninstalled Email with Titanium Backup. That means it works, right?
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Just go back into the bootloader menu, s-off will be displayed there. Volume up + power on.
[Legend Android Development] bjohv052:
The bootloader splash screen is before the CM7 splash. Does it say HTC or Alpharev?
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
HTC, and, as I said, it does say S-OFF in the bootloader.
[Legend Android Development] amvv:
u r using s-off features and still having doubts about being s-off or not?!!!

surely your phone is s-off
[Legend Android Development] Ravrahn:
The "That means it works, right?" was pretty much when the doubt went away. Thanks for the help, everyone.

Still, I wonder what went wrong? The unchanged splashscreen and the phone not booting until a reflash I think means the procedure failed, but I've still got S-OFF.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
I just posted this in another thread:

As far as I'm aware of it there were some devices shipped with S-OFF, but it was incomplete in terms of actual write access to the /system and /recovery partitions.

I'm curious, if you do "adb remount" after booting and write a file to /system does it stay there after a reboot?

Step-by-Step: Howto S-OFF your HTC Legend with HBOOT 0.43 and Alpharev 1.8

If the power button is not working, you pressed too late. Note that the instructions on your computer screen are not reliable at all (if not nonsense).

It's all about timing, I managed to S-OFF my HTC Legend (rooted, HBOOT 0.43) by following Whoozers instructions from this thread on page 7.

Note that when he is refering to step 1 it was titled "Step 2" on my screen, and his step 2 was "Step 3" on my screen.

Backup your ROM :)

Get a normal watch and ignore the timing messages on your computer screen

Boot your computer into the Alpharev medium you prepared (CD or bootable USB, doesn't matter)

Perform the first step while your phone is fully booted: Waiting for device... > Install Recovery etc. > Rebooting your phone)

Phone in your hand... wait till computer mentions something like "Step 2 - Press any key and watch...". Then press any key on the computer, look on the watch for 3 seconds, then press the power button on the phone. Note that Alpharev installs some files.

Wait for your phone to reboot... wait for step 3 to initiate.

Then again: Press any key and look on the watch for 4 seconds, then press the power button on the phone

Wait, check the messages on your phone and you are s-off

Note that this bootloader screen is your reward:

Hi Folk!

Planning to reach s-off via xtc clip. Already buy it. When s-off is done - need to hboot with custom MTD for large /data partition.

Question is compatible hboot bravo cm7 r2 for HTC legend?
[Legend Android Development] odyon:
Ok, I think I have a problem. I got through step 1 (with the 3-seconds-stopwatch rule), but failed the second step. Now, when I reboot my phone, I see the AlphaRev SPLBOOT window, and it tries to update HBOOT. However, at the end, it gives an error (because the phone is disconnected).

Now it suggests to restore the nandroid-backup. I made a nandroid-backup with RomManager, but when I move into recovery (don't know whether is Clockwork recovery), it suggests me to restore the backup through ADB, with the command "nandroid-mobile.sh restore"

Does anyone have a suggestion how to restore this rommanager backup?

update: Ok, nevermind about this problem. Got my nandroid backup back and running (didn't know how to get to the CWM from the darkscreen with the red triangle, until I read somewhere: press volume up + power button :D). Continuing my timing game.....

last-update: and finally, it worked! First I tried the stopwatch trick (3 sec, 4 sec), but that didn't work (had first step yes, second: fail). What worked for me, was starting to press the power button as soon as I hit Enter. Approx. 0.5 sec between presses, so you have enough time to see HBOOT USB PLUG (make sure this is shown, before pressing Enter at the computer at all!!) switch to FASTBOOT, and then stop immediately. Everything will go then smoothly.
