[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierfreund:
I got my Vodafone (Germany) Branded HTC Desire HD today.

Software information:

Android-Version: 2.2

Baseband-Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 Thu Oct 28 13:24:11 CST 2010

Build-Number: 1.39.161.1 CL278886 release keys

Software-Number: 1.39.161.1

There's also a System Update to 1.75.161.2_R available, which did not install because I know that there is no root, S-off, ... for stock RUU 1.72.405.3 yet and i don't know on what my branded update is based on.

Some questions:

1. As there seems no RUU available that matches my software version, i want to make a (image based) backup before i root, s-off, install clockwork and all the other things. Is this possible? If yes, how?

2. I had a Desire Z before. The Guide in the wiki: Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ) and DHD recommends not to use Visionary, but temproot with Rage and then use gfree (i used this guide for the Desire Z). All guides i found in the DHD Forum use Visionary. So how should i root, s-off best way?

3. Before I maybe try other Custom ROMs, i first want to try the unbranded stock ROM (i think i should choose RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed, right?) Can i just flash this on my branded DHD (after backup, see 1.,) or what i have to do first?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androf:
I have the same question
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androf:
I've pmed Bierfreund but I could not wait for his reply even when I think that he'll be kind enough and post the answers once he read my pms

I m answering on the Qs here is case someone from Germany or UK got the same version of the software and Google "1.39.161.1"

-I could not find any RUU for this version, let's wait for Bierfreund to see if he could use the 1.32.405.6 RUU to restore the stock ROM

-I managed to root the device the same way we usually root 1.32

-I haven't tried S-OFF yet

-I did not manage to create a backup and tbh I don't know how to do that, but IMO if I someone is kind enough to explain to me how to do it now it would not be difficult to restore the device to the factory defaults and get the warranty back. All I need to do is to unroot and uninstall VISIONary
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierfreund:
I found no RUU with german vodafone branding, i did the following (no real solution and no guarantee if it works):

- Rooted Vodafone Branded Desire HD

- Did S-off

- installed clockwork mod

- did a nandroid backup with clockwork mod of the vodafone branded backup

(separate guides of all this are available). I case i need the branded software again ( i don't hope so) i plan to do the following:

- Restore (nandroid) vodafone branded software

- remove clockwork mod

- unroot and s-on

- factory reset
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tarekeldeeb:
Hello all,

I google a lot and tried too many times for days to downgrade my Xperia X10i mini to a rootable version (currently on 2.0.2.A.0.24). I had no luck :mad:

I used the flashing tool according to this popular thread. I used the (Update 14.11.2010) GUI VERSION.

I always get " Searching for Xperia...." and stuck at it.

I have the SE PC Companion installed,then added the official drivers from here

Again: No luck

Note:

1- PC companion flashed my 1.6 to the latest update (drivers r ok, as I think)

2- I have USB debugging ON

3- When in flash mode, I have a orange led + battery charge icon (is this correct)

Please help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SXUsr:
Might get more help asking in the "mini" section.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
Try this: http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php installs the drivers you need....should....;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tarekeldeeb:
I installed, rebooted.

Then opened the flash tool > selected the firmware (did not press Ok yet) > press back on phone while inserting the usb > led on > battery icon

no luck ..

still stuck at : Searching for Xperia....

Note: The PC companion pops out when connecting the usb, is it taking over?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzmo:
I'm trying to root my friend's G1, I've downgraded to RC7 (Or the US RC29) but I can't access recovery mode. Every time i press & hold (home + power) it boots me into the boot loader.

I've tried flashing using a different memory card, no dice.

Anyone have any idea? & Is there anyway to flash RC8 (Or RC30) without using the recovery mode?

I've searched all over google & all over this forum, nothing would fix MY problem. Appreciate any help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Catch me on Irc and I'll see what we can do.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzmo:
Alright, the moment I get time, I'll look you up. Appreciate it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzmo:
Appreciate your reply.

I would use superoneclick or androot, but I'm on RC7(RC29) OS 1.0 & the apps just force close.

I've also tried a ton load of Amon's recoverys & Clockworks, but they don't seem to work.

I can't even access the stock recovery when I press home & power buttons, it just boots up the boot loader with a "seria0" in the middle of a white stripe.
[Galaxy Tab General] MUR88:
hi

i wanna arabic ROM for my sprint samsung tab please
[Galaxy Tab General] shoman24v:
Not gonna happen.
[Droid X General] Brynn85:
Okay, so I rooted and installed a custom ROM on my cousin's Droid X for her a few weeks ago. All went smoothly. Suddenly yesterday, about 3/4 of her screen came up with just like, gray lines. The top portion is normal, however. But you can't see too much of the screen at all. (I'll try to post a pic soon.)

Sooo she obviously needs to try to do a warranty claim on the phone, and needs to get it back to stock. How can I go about this? Obviously it's gonna be hard doing anything that requires physically seeing stuff far down on the screen, or even midway...

Hate to sound rude, but help asap would be great; as she has to go to work soon so trying to help while I can... Thanks guysss :)

UPDATE: Trying to use RSD LITE to SBF it now. Crossing fingers that works, and also that I can manage to hit "data wipe/restore" on the screen. We shall see :-/ lol
[Droid X General] Brynn85:
Update #2: After flashing the sbf (it stated "PASS"), the phone then became stuck on the bootloader screen, no matter what is tried when the battery is inserted and the phone is powered on... no way to get in recovery, etc...

Phone just says:

BOOTLOADER 30.04

then underneath it says Err: A5, 70, 70, 00, 1F

After finally reading online, it seems it's probably due to the wrong sbf being flashed. (She was kind of freaking out and rushing me due to her having to leave for work :( )

So after reading this thread linked below, it seems I can possibly unbrick and get out of the bootloader by using that SBF.

thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902074
[Droid X General] Brynn85:
Update #3: Okay, it seems that last try worked to get it past the bootloader and to a different screen, though due to the gray bars on most of it, all I can really see is the status bar... which shows a blue triangle (which i read means it needs to be reactivated, and the service bars and the battery.

I'm not completely sure how to make certain it's unrooted and back to stock with just this area available to view, anyone else have any idea? I'm not overly familiar with how stock looks on Droid X, as I have a Captivate...

Pic attached for reference of what it's looking like.
[Droid X General] Phoenix Zero:
From the nofitication bar, it looks stock. Hard to tell though but if you SBF'ed and it said PASS, then it should be back to stock. Good luck with your claim.
[Droid X General] mlclm:
It's unrooted and stock, but with an issue like that they'll probably send another one as soon as they boot it up. Besides, rooting wouldn't cause a display failure like that, so it would be pretty ballsy of them to deny you.
[Desire General] moooooooon8:
Hi,

i have an HTC Desire and am trying to root it for a while now, but no success.

3. Visionary method did not work in the permroot part (I think it wasn't made for desire but I tried it anyways.)

4. I also tried something that involved (Golden card) but also didn't work.

drivers and HTC sync are all OK ( HTC sync uninstalled ) boot loader interface driver as explained (unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install)

Hello evreyone.

I'm having a bit of a problem with my Samsung Omia II I8000.

I just got it from a friend of mine, and for 24 days or so it has been working great!

Really loved the phone untill the next thing happened:

I was playing a game on it, and I suddenley saw my phone didn't have connection with my provider. (Vodafone NL)

From that moment I thought it was strange, so I did a soft reset.

Nothing happend, still no connection, I did a hard reset.

Again, nothing happend, then I did a clean reset, and as you can guess... Still no connection.

I don't know if this sound fammiliar to you, but can you guys please help a man out?

Last thing i'm waiting for is buying a new phone.

Also the other things I tried:

-Opened the case, looking for the antenna wire, but it was still attached.

-Looked for a firmware update by looking at new pc studio, but it had the latest installed.

And somthing diffrent that might help you out, my wifi is working great, I don't now if that matters or not, but just to let you know..

Again: I REALLY,REALLY hope you guys can help me out!

Greetings, Olav
[Omnia II General] snake110110:
any one?

any one?:(
[Omnia II General] redoxy:
.

Have you tried either your sim card in a another phone to rule out the fact that your sim card is dead. And also have you tried another sim card in your phone just to verify that its not the sim card?

I will do these two things first before proceeding to do anything else.

I had a similar issue with my phone and was able to solve it by changing the sim card.
[Omnia II General] snake110110:
Sorry, forgot to mention.

Yes I did that.

The sim is not dead.

Thanks in advance!

I can do you one better - theme your own! Gimpsta's put together an HTC_IME_MOD themer here:

http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/index.php

Not only can you pick colors, but when you install it you can change the smilies, layout etc. all within the settings on your phone. Give it a whirl, you can download and install the apk straight from the site.

Ok that is freaking sweet! Thanks man

I get warning that my battery is low and it won't let me get into the camera. Anyway to lower the value or disable entirely? Pressing ok just quits the app completely.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
I used the hacked camera from the SGS Tools app in the market....

Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapinkerton:
If you're rooted and running a froyo rom, you can download "sgs tools" from the market. This lets you install a modded camera that works down to 0% battery.

If you're not on froyo, it won't work, I hear.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilflip21:
I think to change the warning level you need to decompile your phones framework-res.apk and look in...

res\values\integers.xml

and change the following or similar lines to the percent you want..

<integer name="config_lowBatteryWarningLevel">15</integer>

<integer name="config_lowBatteryCloseWarningLevel">20</integer>

then recompile your framework-res.apk and flash it back to your phone..

that will change the battery warning level but not sure if that fixes your camera issues as my phone has never done that to me..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
Can you explain the config_lowBatteryCloseWarningLevel usage? It seems strange that it is higher than the config_lowBatteryWarningLevel.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Krad:
Anyone try this kitchen with the framework-res.apk on our devices?

I was able to easily do this with a few captivate roms, but i knew how to restore those easily when I had an issue.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vasa13:
Yes i tried it on Steve's 1.5.2 - works great.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] kirkla79:
If you have an issue, just reflash the rom. Had do to it a few times while playing with UOT.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Krad:
yeah... just copied a services.odex from a zip file and that borked my phone...

loading 318 now... was on 315..

good to learn how to rebuild.. so far.. painless
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Techvir:
Does not work with 1.5.3
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
It will work with any ROM so long as you copy the Framework res.apk from the ROM you are using:)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Techvir:
unfortunately this does not work with 1.53 , probably related to transparent taskbar
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
1.5.4 is back to the black one so have a go when its out:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vergunst:
Ok here's the deal: I have a T9193 running SuperRAM android.

I have robo voice, and the common "fix" of speaker+endcall freezes my phone process. So last night I flashed a bunch of radios and my results are:

2.15.50.14: This is what I started with, and what I am on now. Everything works except phone calls. Sometimes I have robo voice, sometimes not. Once I get it it doesnt go away easily at all.

2.14.50.04: Gives robo voice in android, phone resumes from sleep just fine

2.11.50.26: Gives robo voice in android, phone resumes from sleep just fine

2.11.50.20: No robo voice, voice + data fine. However it almost never resumes from sleep. If left in sleep for more than a minute or so, it will not resume. The screen backlight will turn on, but nothing will ever display. Battery pull is needed.

2.10.50.26: Robo voice, sleep ok

2.10.50.19: Robo voice, sleep ok

2.10.50.08: No robo voice, same as 2.11.50.20.

2.07.51.22_2: Windows Mobile accepts it ok, but will not allow boot into android. Probably because it is not a x.x.50.x radio.

So the results show that every radio that does not give me robo voice, freezes the phone when it sleeps. Radios that do give robo voice, resume just fine. Some radios that can give robo voice, do not always give robo voice.

What is going on here? This seems too coincidental.

Hardware: Telstra T9193 running on USA AT&T network

Notion Ink has said numerous times they are working with retailers already to get the adam sold elsewhere, not just on their website. As far as being sold in a brick and mortar, not sure about that but somewhere like amazon would be great.

As long as the online retailers have a decent return policy.

[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I think you're missing a key point: if you're a device manufacturer, you prefer that people buy your new products every six months rather than every two years. They only make money when you buy a device. Not that I think there's some massive conspiracy to keep phones behind the cutting edge, but if there were some way they could make a phone so fantastic that you'd never want another phone again, I doubt they would want to sell it.
[Nexus S General] rocketragz:
for what i use a phone for, the ns hardware should be fine for quite a while. android software is what i don't want to be outdated on. shouldn't be an issue with the ns.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
you forget that those dual core phones wont be out for 3 or 4 months
[Nexus S General] Mokurex:
To me, it seems like you wrote that whole essay trying to justify your purchase.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
It's not a conspiracy, it's called business sense. There's little money in making and selling a perfect, everlasting product. That is the reason incandescent light bulbs last only 1000 hours and inkjet printers screech to a halt after exactly 5000 pages. It's planned obsolescence.

It's also the reason I went for the Nexus S. It doesn't come with planned obsolescence. Google will keep the updates coming much longer than any manufacturer or carrier. If Samsung had updated my I5700 Spica to Android 2.2, I wouldn't have bought the Nexus S. I would even have been willing to pay for the OS update.

To me, it seems like you're trolling.
[Nexus S General] Mokurex:
How so? All he does was saying, "Oh there will be phone with better processor & display than the nexus s but i don't need it." You might not want a quad core processor in your pc, but is it better than a dual core? Yes. So what's the point of this?
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
Of course it's better, but more important is how MUCH better it is. Where do you need it for?

Oh and by the way, I do not own a Nexus S :)
[Nexus S General] JoshHart:
I agree that this is a great phone and will be for quite a while. The things that I will be looking for in my next phone, which will likely replace my G2 before this, is a better camera, 5mp is good, but not great, especially once theyre on a computer. I know some people will say well if you want a better camera buy one, and I do have an SLR for real picture taking, but the technology is there to put better cameras in smartphones and Im glad Sony is trying to incorperate that.

Aside from the camera im not sure what else could really make me think 'this phone isnt good enough'. Of course I'll still probably buy 3 more phones this year because I really enjoy trying the latest and greatest in phones but for the average person I think this phone is more than good enough to last the 2 years of their contract.
