[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Success100:
it normally has something to do with setcpu being clocked to low, try raising the min freq up to 245mhz
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Actually, set the SetCPU minimum frequency to 384 MHz. That usually solves problems like this, or with the screen not turning on for a call, whereas 245 doesn't always.

So there's been a bit of angst over Zune only providing 'enhanced music metadata' as they call it in MS (the fancy coloured now playing screen with the artists posing in background, mixview, Smart Dj, etc lol you know what i'm on about...) to peeps in the US and thereabouts. There have been alot of people trying to find out why MS disabled this for everyone else and I was also quite disappointed too when my Zune software and Zune WP7 looked positively dull when compared to some US counterparts. So I did some digging :D

Turns out it's to do with the licensing the "All Music Guide" (wiki Allmusic ...they're also known as Allmusic) has given to Microsoft and what information they can use with all the Zune Softwares (Source: ZuneInsider Podcast)

Undoubtedly everyone's asking how we can access this pleasure for the eye, but the truth is, for now, there is no real workaround short of doing all the Region changing business and mess :(

The best bet for any real change for the long term I'd say would be to perhaps go to lobby AMG with a "business idea" and tell them to please revise their license with MS Zune divisoin so that International users can see all the fancy pants eye candy :p They already provide service to iTunes and plenty of other corporations...

(you can do that by going to their Web, scrolling down to bottom and clicking "Contact" then "Business Idea")

Zune have said they're trying to get it fixed through all the red tape so other than lobbying, we wait :/

Anywho, just a fun FYI post :) Have a Happy New Year!
[Streak 5 General] stang393:
I figured I'd return the favor for this forums help by writing a few steps I cobbled together from being a n00b to android and making my Dell Streak from a 0 to hero! I wanted to replace my iPhone4 and I was so excited to get the streak only to find out it had 1.6 and was lame! Slow, laggy, no tethering, it was gonna go back to where I bought it till now..

Here is what I did to make it work.

First off, the XP Driver issue OMG what a nightmare, Keep in mind I'm a 15 yr IT Veteran and I blew up one of my desktops..

So here is what I did. UNINSATLL ANY AND ALL DRIVERS if you have any.

First install the fast boot drivers using the drivers from the Dell found here.

To install, put the streak in Fastboot mode, Pull battery put back in, put back cover on, Press the power button for 2 secs, then hold down the camera button till you get a white screen, Touch FASTBOOT, then plug into your computer, Tell it NO do not search, next screen, Middle Check box "search in this folder" Browse to the the Dell driver directory.

Next install the Qalcom diagnostic driver using this video and the drivers from the QDLTool.

Now once you have all that ready, You may now proceed to install the QDLTool froyo 2.2 image

Next I rooted it using SuperOneClick found Here (version 1.5.5), this will allow the next step to work.

Next I installed SETCPU found here to later have some overclocking fun and make this thing scream. Just copy the .APK to your streak and download an Application loader from the marketplace instead of using fastboot or other complicated things. (i used "Quick App Install")

Then I installed Clockwork Recovery using these directions. The one thing not mentioned was how to get into it.

(dont do this yet)

To get into clock work, pull battery, turn on holding Volume down and power

Also I noticed the camera button is used to "select" you gotta push like hell on it if its a new streak.

Copy the performance mod/update 309 from this Thread to your root folder of your Streaks SD Card and rename it to update.zip.

pull battery (or hold Power and Camera to get the shutdown menu in android)

Boot up into clockwork and select update using update.zip (volume buttons move selection up and down and camera to select, remember push like hell on the camera button, any other button will shut the screen off, just press it again to get the screen back) Run the update. then select reboot...

You should have a Pretty Badass Stock Dell system

EDIT:

I just wanted to do a basic brain dump of the past week i've spent tracking down this stuff I'll continue to edit and add links that I found the most useful.

Everything is in the forum, but there is no order on how to do things..

Thanks to all and Streakdroid.com
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
What directions? I've been looking all over the place for where to download and install it but coming up empty
[Streak 5 General] kantras:
You'll find copies of both clockworkmod and streakmod in the downloads section on streakdroid.com.

As for installing, you'll need a copy of fastboot. If you've used QDLTool in the past then it has a copy of fastboot in the same folder.

Extract the recovery image (I prefer streakmod, so the recovery image name is "recovery.img") into the same directory as fastboot.

Shut down your Streak, then hold down the camera button all the way whilst turning on the Streak. When the screen turns white, press the 'Fastboot' option in the top right corner of the screen. When you plug in the USB cable, it should say 'FASTBOOT_MODE'. If it doesn't change, you may have to install the ADB drivers.

You then need to running the following command to install the new recovery:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

(Change recovery.img to the name of the recovery image)

You can then run this command to reboot the Streak:

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

As the phone reboots, hold down both volume buttons to enter the recovery menu. Select option 2 (Upgrade) to start the new recovery image. If you are using StreakMod, press either power or menu when the screen with the dell logo and exclamation mark shows, to open the main menu.

Enjoy.

[Streak 5 General] Reel E. Weird:
ok noob alert...the OP mentioned he was disappointed when he saw the dell streak had 1.6 and was lame...what is 1.6? the version of the OS?

edit: nvm...found out it is the OS
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
You might want to tell people when loading thru the qdltool that they have to wait and it will EVENTUALY boot into 2.2

I didn't know this and couldn't find anywhere it says what its supposed to do. I thought I was just using the tool to load something else on and and after a few tries, it just booted into something.
[Streak 5 General] stang393:
Yes 1.6 is android 1.6, opposed to 2.2
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
Hi i love this phone but i have having some small problems.

1) i find it the phone's volume is not loud at all. I can barely hear people when i put it up to my ear.

2) when ever i enable the internet the phone signal bar instantly dies somtimes. Not every time be pretty constant enough for me to notice and i have only owned the phone 6 days.

Anyone else notice these problems? if not then i well return it.
[Desire HD General] higgo22:
Hi Guys,

I'm a little stuck. By accident I flashed: RUU_Ace_HTCCN_CHS_1.75.1400.4_Radio_12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M_release_162585_signed.exe when I meant to get the WWE version.

When I try install the proper version: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed I get an ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.

So I am stuck with a chinese version of android with all these weird looking apps on it. Can anyone put me in the right track here please?
[Desire HD General] Klos006:
I have the same problem, who can help please ?
[Desire HD General] randomdud:
you guys did a clean flash? rename the rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip then flashed?

try checking if you have radio S-off on the bootloader.

top middle should display if u are SHIP S-ON or SHIP S-OFF

judging by the looks of it you guys are S-ON ;x

i dont know if fastboot or adb works tho... if u can get the 1.32.405.6 rom to flash over then u are safe.

maybe you can try booting to the bootloader and run fastboot flash system system.img ? or maybe flashing the recovery partition manually to clockwork mod?

to do fastboot or adb you need android SDK and java SDK "x86" the x64 giving problems.

please read at development section ;)
[Desire HD General] randomdud:
i dont know if this would work but give it a try, get the 1.32.405.6 file and find

mainver: 1.32.405.6 on the android_info.txt and change it to 1.75.1400.5 ? ;p then flash? :O
[Desire HD General] Klos006:
Unfortunately does not work :o
[Desire HD General] higgo22:
Hi Mate. Yeah I tried a clean flash and it stated the the main rom was older and didn't work. I also tried 1.32.405.6.

I'm trying to flash system.img but it is saying:

sending 'system' (571388 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)

finished. total time: 0.005s

I'm trying to S-OFF but Visionary doesn't seem to be working with this version. I attempt temproot and I get a black screen after a few moments. Is there any other way I can S-OFF so I can try and install cyanogen or something?
[Desire HD General] randomdud:
hmm, maybe try fastboot oem unlock ?

lol seems to be so. was hoping that someone around would know how to change the data on 1.32.405.6 to 1.99.999.9 so at least it would flash over replacing the 1.72 or 1.75 roms lol. then we can manually flash over the 1.72 system.img boot.img and clockwork the su and su.apk for root xD well someone here in xda might know how to do that ;p but that dude just aint me :(

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
So i have an HTC Evo with the latest OTA update 3.70.651.1. Completely stock, non rooted. I know very little about both rooting and roms other then what i quickly went over in a few Q&A's here.

Im not sure what to do, if anything, so i thought id ask here. Primarily id like to be able to delete unwanted stock apps/bloatware and backup the entire phone (like making a recovery image). Itd be nice to be able to wirelessly tether but this isnt necessary. Other then that id like to keep it the same.

Is it possible to root but use the stock rom? if so what does this accomplish?

Is there a risk free way to accomplish my goals?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
You would need to root to do this.

Absolutely. Thats what I do. The only reason I rooted was for wireless tether, and titanium backup. Other than that, I didnt want another rom, I love the stock one.

Exactly what you just asked for in the previous paragraph.

Nope. There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything in life, and rooting your phone in no different. However, it is actually quite difficult to completely brick your phone. Most of the time, if you follow the directions, you will be fine. But if you do screw up, you can usually just flash a stock ruu and redo it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Thanks for the information. Is there anything the free version of titanium backup doesnt backup? What does a nandroid backup save?

Also will rooting alone allow me to delete any app on the phone?

Lastly what would be the recommended way for someone new like me to root my phone (or resources i can use to pick a method)? Is there a way to restore my phone back to stock if i need to?

Thanks again. As i ask these questions im also digging into the forums looking for specific answers
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alekosy:
Hey welcome to XDA.

I don't know when you received your phone, but it seems very brand new to me, I would say your best luck is to try to look for the details of your main specs in your phone, when you start to root your phone, you look for instructions here to setup properly on How to do the root process with the same exact phone detail specs of it.

I was rooted with an older OTA at first, but I see these new OTAs are up on new EVOs but It's kinda fishy to think of how to root it with the latest OTA on the old leet legit methods that toastcfh had...you know...The Manual Professional way, without the risk of bricking your phone completely, if you had the chance to root successfully with idiot proof instructions, I say that was quite a day for me then. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Actually ive had my Evo since release, ive just been too scared to risk bricking it til now lol.

i currently have:

hboot 2.10

software 3.70.651.1

hardware 0002

i took down some other info but idk if it matters for rooting directions.

So far from my searches it appears the only option for hboot 2.10 + 3.70.651.1 is a pretty lengthy/difficult for beginners method. Is that accurate?

Also my primary concern is deleting bloatware/included apps, does rooting alone allow me to delete these?

Also none of the guides ive seen detail how to backup your phone before the root, is there an easy way to make like a backup image of the stock stuff + data,sms,phone log, etc?

Thanks again everyone, still digging but your help will make it go much more smoothly
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
So ive pretty much discovered that my 2 options are do it the "hard" way or wait for unrevoked to update their stuff for the newest evo software/hboot. Im probably going to wait.

In the meantime i want to make sure of a few things, deleteing apps, backup, wireless tether. How would i approach each of these; can i use the built in app manager to delete apps? the built in wireless tether to tether? what exactly does nandroid backup compared to titanium backup?

Does the stock rom support netfilter?

Is there any scenario in which ota updates wont break root?

Thanks again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
To delete apps, you will want to use Titanium Backup. After removing stock apps, some of them still stay indexed, so you will need to boot to recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik to clear them from the apps list.

You won't be able to use the built-in wireless tether to tether unless you flash a new rom that unlocked that feature. Once rooted, there is a an app on the market called Wireless Tether for Root Users that will accomplish what you are looking for.

Titanium Backup will also allow you to backup your apps and data so that in the event you do flash a new rom, you can restore them without losing anything.

Titanium Backup is designed to backup your apps and data, Nandroid(recovery) will backup your entire ROM, so if you do flash a new rom, you can always revert back to your stock setup exactly how you left it.

OTA updates will always break your root, but at the same time don't offer much in the terms of upgrading. Plus 90% of the time the dev's here release a rooted version of the OTA update very shortly after it goes live.

I've been having a problem with my brand-new tmo G2. I used to have a G1, which was a great old workhorse for two years. In September, my pos iPod stopped working, so I bought a 16GB SD card for my G1, mainly for use with my extensive (10GB or so) music collection that the 1GB card that came with it couldn't handle. Fast forward to xmas. I got a nice, new G2, and one of the first things I did was stick my microSD card from the G1 in so I could listen to my music. However, all that shows up on the Music app is part of the music on my card. Obviously the phone sees the music on the card, all the songs in the Music player are in the same folder in the microSD card as the rest of my music. I have no idea how to fix this, can someone please help me? I'm also having issues getting my old photos/videos from the same SD card to show up in the Gallery...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.youngberg:
I also have the same. Didn't seem to have a problem on my nexus one 2.2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbes:
Same problem here the music is in the same folder as my songs that appear in the player but no matter what I do the songs refuse to show up on the player
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeithRVA:
I'm guessing some of your music is DRM protected. Lots of my old iTunes downloads are DRM while the new ones are not. That might be why you can't play them. It's a pain but you can convert them by burning to cd in iTunes then burning the cd back to mp3.

edit: have you tried formatting the card and copying the stuff back on? I haven't had any problems with my G2 when swapping sd cards, so maybe try formatting or a different card just to test it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbes:
I'll try that but my phones perm rooted and flashed with sense maybe its a problem with the Rom rather than the songs?

[Droid Pro General] celticjon:
Verizon told Motorola to block GSM networks inside the US. There is nothing wrong with your phone, but right now AT&T isn't going to work.

Check out the Droid 2 Global forums for more info. I believe folks over there are working on a solution.
[Droid Pro General] jonkranked:
Have you had the GSM antennas unlocked? When I bought my Pro I was told that in order to actually use it in Global mode (and use the GSM antenna) you have to either take it to a verizon store or call a number for them to unlock it. The GSM antenna is disabled by default.
[Droid Pro General] celticjon:
The GSM antenna is not locked by default, but the SIM card slot is. If you wanted to take the phone to Europe and buy a pre-paid SIM to use over there (instead of Verizon's SIM) then yes, you must unlock the phone.

However, entering the SIM unlock code will not help you connect to AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon blocked it on the radio level.

This other guy on androidforums came across an unlocked DroidPro that worked with his T-Mobile Sim Card for a while until he decided to update the phone and ended up blocking his T-Mobile sim card in the end...

I kind of hope there are some other phones like that out there so I can get my hands on one of them and figure out where to look for that piece of code that blocks the phones ability to use T-mobile/AT&T networks.
