[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] B6gSix:
what ever you do, do not use the methods the guy suggested above.

i recently was looking for the same info to root my new moto droid1. and the best i could come up with was the guide provided by the unlockr

HERE

here it is in plain text also if needed:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-motorola-droid/

follow the written step by step instructions and watch the video and this will be finished in like 30 mins tops. it hella easy this way and you know for sure youre rooted and ready for the next step.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boycef26:
superoneclick worked worked great!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Schnider:
I am not sure what the second guy was talking about. But superone click works like a charm just follow the instructions. Head over to xda dev and search for super one click

I have attached the Open Development VZW LTE/3G device specs here for December 2010 (latest release, there is probably going to be a release in Jan. of the three main documents) for those that don't want to register with VZW:

http://www.mediafire.com/?3gjrtpvcn49zu

The documents are publicly available here and others (and I recommend XDA-developers register for an account DIRECTLY with VZW Open Development and go totally legit):

http://opennetwork.verizonwireless.com/getDeviceCertified_docSpec.aspx

Remember, VZW is going TOTALLY OPEN like AT&T now and doesn't care much about anything as long as it doesn't screw around/degrade with their network. With LTE data caps you're paying for the data anyways whether you are tethered or not.

Welcome VZW to the world of OPEN DEVELOPMENT with Android! (No I do NOT work for VZW, I'm just a geek that registered with VZW).

Hope this is helpful for my fellow VZW dev's! If you guys have the cash attend the developer conference sometimes in SF or NYC or whenever VZW hosts it again (probably again in 6 months this summer :P)

Note: The ODIS.zip package also has EVDO/1X authentication info (big package).

I have to go now (god-damn busy schedule, will be checking this thread back in 6 hours maybe...)

Im not a noob but this is a problem that i cant solve. I had to jus recently re root my phone. Flashed my 1st rom and phone would show same time for up and awake time sometimes awake time would be a fraction of a second more than up. ****in weird. Pulled battery... problem still persisted. flashed a few other roms also restored a nandroid(jus a week old) to see if it would stop. no go. Maybe I need to re root again?

my pri is only 1.34 so maybe i should try the latest radios
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Also, do you use 4g? There is a known bug, that when you turn 4g on, and then toggle it off, that the radio remains scanning, and holds a wake lock. So you have to turn 4g off and reboot. Just throwing some things out there.

I am having the same problem as well. Never had but had to switch evo's due to my old one dying. My new one always stays awake. I have tried four different rom's, same thing. I killed my old one updating radios so I am hesitant to do that again. Any other ideas? My am out and this phone is almost useless in this state. The battery life is down right atrocious. I hate to get rid of it but if this can't be corrected I won't have a choice.

Tried installing, but it didn't recognize my HD2.

So following the advise to put a reg entry on my pc, Chevron opened, I checked the required boxes and tried to run, but again it wouldn't see the phone.

I finally found the makers Twitter page, saying that MS will be patching the unlocker on their first update.(proberbly the reason the site is now down).

Anyway after checking Zune on my PC, Microsoft has already installed three patches to the phone during my first Sync.

Here is the Twitter page...http://twitter.com/search?q=%23ChevronWP7

I hope there's a way round this, and I hope I'm wrong, sorry for the bad news...:mad:

EDIT: Found out that I need Development tools installed, which isn't stated in the two Threads I was reading, after more searching, I have hope again. If it works I will update this post.

Dam I need Vista SP2 or win7, xp no good.. now I've got to set up a desktop...

Edit: Finally got it working today and UK is screwed...just got off the phone wit MS (UK based folk can call: 0844 800 2400 choose option 2 and then option 7) They've stopped giving them out and to contact my operator. T-mobile UK will proberbly tell me to sod off... so I guess I'll have to wait for a Key-Gen to come out.:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceo4eva:
Hmm Then i must be just in time because i got mine unlocked a few hours ago..

Hopefully this product works like an Iphone does ( not installing any updates or w/e without notifying you ).. If it happens automatically I'm screwed because Windows Phone 7 seems to have a mind of its own doing its own updating and everything..

might be worth changing the thread title since it's incorrect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nzxtneo:
Well the title is correct, Microsoft is patching the ChevronWP7 exploit.

The inclination that the patch has already been pushed is the incorrect part.

Let's just hope something good comes from the talks DFT ChevronWP7 is going to have with Microsoft!

Hello,

is there an alternative music player that supports HVGA? I found Mortplayer but there ist no skin available for HVGA-Screens, so I would be forced to create an own one...

Thanks in advance
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] puxus:
I`am also interesting about some alternate music player.

Now i am using core player, but it is not wery usefull because of the small buttons and folder icons. And standard player has no oportunity to play folders...

Thanks for any advice!

[HD Mini Themes and Apps] puxus:
I`ve tried s2p, and, as for me, it sucks!!!

It can`t play folder, every start it need to update database, and the interface on HVGA resolution is as small as the coreplayers...

And it leaves files s2p2.tag in every folder (Why I must store this garbage on my phone and PC)

TCPMP, as I understand, is an old version of CorePlayer? Or i am wrong?

P.S. Sorry for my english :)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Baadshah555:
What version of s2p You are using.?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] puxus:

[Android Themes] ephumuris:
I own a Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) and i have been trying to get black menu popups to work properly. They are sorted for main screen and most apps like gmail etc. However certain apps like Root Explorer still had white menus and it was impossible to read them with white text too (from the black parts!).

I got these instructions from someone...

This all seemed to go ok but i have a few white lines plaguing an otherwise perfect look.

In this first image everything is fine other than the line that seperates top and bottom icons...It's really bright obvious white. What can i do to fix this?

Then this menu has an obvious white line around the edges. But separators are fine. Any ideas on this part too? :(

Thanks for any help in advance.

EDIT:

Oh it should be noted i have tried images from a gingerbread theme that has these menu parts coloured correctly so it's not a .png anywhere. It's somethign in styles.xml or somethign else :(

Also, I'm not used to HTC, this is my friends. When people say boot into bootloader, then fastboot flash blah blah, wtf are they talking about?? I see Fastboot in the bootloader, but see nothing about flashing and no place to input commands.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
download VISIONary.apk (if you already haven't) store it to the SD card and install it. Temp Root one more time. It will give you SU access. When you rebooted the phone to check s=off it erased the SU access. You need to temp root with s=off to make sure it sticks... kinda weird but that is the only way it's done.

to boot into HBoot turn off the phone. Turn back on the phone and hold the volume down and power button. Select Recovery to boot into recovery.

But to install clock work ROM 2.x you can download and install via the market. if you need to install ClockWork Rom 3.x you need to do it via Fastboot is a variation of HBoot. You have to have the Android SDK installed and running properly to do so. you HAVE to be in Fastboot to load C/W ROM 3.x.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maaarius:
So, Im just lurking around with the file explorerer on my DHD and then I found a file named fw_bcm4329.bin in the /vendor/firmware folder, and I thought that maybe this means we have the same chip as on HD2 that got FM transmitter capabilities? (Broadcom BCM4329)

Anyways, I will try to send a mail to Broadcom and ask for the datasheet :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Windows Mobile is based on Windows CE, i dare say the drivers for simlar broadcom chips already existed for that enviroment :)

[Q] "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close"

I wonder if somebody could help me with the following:

Im getting a message

"android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close"

when I try to use my contacts.

I have sync my contacts via google and via LGsuite IV but the same happens no matter which method I follow.

Originally the contacts appear OK categorized alphabetically by first name . But after changing the display order from name first to surname first and the same for appearance (in contacts-Menu -display options) the phone freeze and I get the above.

It seems to affect only the phone book as the contacts remain in the phone - when typing a tel number you get name suggestions.

Do you know how should I deal with it (I have the 10b software) .

The devise is NOT rooted , its new , and has no other apps than what comes with the device

Also when I power off the phone and and powering it on again I'm loosing the shortcuts for the market installed programs ,although the programs their-shelf still appear in the installed programs menu.

Thanks in advance

But I didn't like it as much as Android. So I reverted back to android. But guess what I only have 200mb on SD Card instead of 16gb. (I should have expected this I suppose)

Can anyone tell me how to restore my SD Card to 16gb? I am sure there are others who are curious as well.

cos wp7 creates an unknown format partition. use a partitioning program, see if you can delete the partitions (there will be two, one 200meg fat and one unknown format) then reset a new FAT32 partition for the full size.

Be careful in disk management, delete from the wrong disk and its hello to up-all-night-reinstalling-your-PC, hehe.

While I agree that the OP is at fault for clearly not reading anything and just flashing (I read instructions and used a different SD card when I tried WP7 - it was VERY clear!!!), I don't see why you feel the need to be so offensive to him.

Yup, I should have read about this before flashing but I had fun for a while and went back to Duttys Rom. However, I have 14gb of files and music on the card and a 200mb fat partition.

partition using fat32. your data was deleted when windows phone 7 was setting up for the first time. luckily i used another card but good luck

if you go bk to android leave a bit of space after when doing the primary fat32 and create a ext2 partition. its in the file system tab in the create partition bit

To format the sd... put in the camera (mine for example is a nikon) and format it..

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lan78691:
Well so far I haven't been able to figure out the usb data storage method for wp7 if one even exists... so the only way you can put music and photos and other files onto wp7 is through zune.. if you try usb mass storage in magldr you will only see 200mb but through zune you can transfer files to your 8gb sd card capacity.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pack21:
to restore back yours 16 Gb, you must reformat your SD with SDformater Windows application.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dissa:
That is the problem. When I try to transfer just only a song Zune tells me that there is no enough space for the tranfer.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] geddeeee:
I had the same problem...

What you need to do is:

In Zune, go to 'Settings'. Then click on 'Phone'. Next, click on 'Reserved Space'.

Make the reserved space about 10%. This should give you about 6.5 Gb on an 8 Gig SD card. It also gives WP7 a bit of 'extra memory' to work with.

For a first release, this is an awesome piece of work. A few things don't work, but on the whole I'm impressed. I'm going to test it for a month to see how it performs.

The main functions work - Phone, text, e-mail, music, video. And nearly all of it is automatically set up. Correctly too.

Worked for me. Plenty of room for syncing via Zune.

Enjoy.......
