How to fix perfect SPL without Gold card. Include new 1.33.2013 SPL.

It’s possible to flash engineering SPLs, to replace your prefect SPL (1.33.2006, 1.33.2010, 1.33.2013, other) without Gold card. I did it on my 32B, sure method will work on 32A and other devices.

First short idea, then in steps.

First root your phone (soft root), then through Market download ROM Manager app, install Clockwork (or alternate Amon_RA) recovery, and immediately press boot into recovery. Phone will reboot into recovery, and now you can flash engineering SPL from SD card.

Now by steps

1. Download Engineering SPL from Amon_RA collection here. Put it (zip file) to your FAT32 formatted SD card. (1.33.2005 is common working)

2. Download newest version of SuperOneClick rooting program from here. Install program to your PC.

3. Connect phone, run program and use button Shell Root. This will soft root your phone. (Please read details instructions in program topic).

4. From phone, through Market, install 'ROM Manager' application. (Internet connection required).

5. Run app, press install Clockwork (or alternate Amon_RA) recovery. App will download latest recovery and install it. Immediately press boot to recovery.

6. Phone will boot into recovery, choose 'flash zip from SD' and choose your previously downloaded Engineering SPL.

7. After flash will ask to reboot, and choose reboot from menu.

8. After reboot phone will finish flashing SPL, and DONE!

NOW U can reboot into recovery yourself, by pressing 'HOME' + 'POWER' keys (from switched off phone). From recovery U can flash Radio, ROMS, do backup, etc.

If U would flash ROM, recommend to try Cyanogen MOD ROM first. There are detailed instructions for flashing on Cyanogen WIKI page.

If on step 6 phone not boot into Recovery, but showing splash screen with '!' sigh. Reboot phone and back to step 3 and go through steps again, but on step 5 flash OTHER recovery then used previously (Clockwork OR Amon_ra). Please keep in mind, (1) that Soft Root working until reboot, and (2) that You have to reboot into recovery immediately after flashing it. Other ways U have to start again, from step 3.

Would mention, that most ROMs not working with newest radio, and You have to flash old radio to ROMs start loading on your device.

Thanks to CLShortFuse, Amon_RA and all other developers.

After spending one day for SPL hack and flashing 12 different ROMs I've ended with recovering original latest Google ROM FR83D. Because no other could compare to fast and stable of original unrooted rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TheBladeofFate:
AMAZING!

This worked for me with the 2010 SPL for my MyTouch 3G 1.2. I don't know how or why, but this is amazing. I've bricked my phone from trying to change the SPL, and this worked perfectly. I think there is a simpler method to this though.

I got full root using Universal Androot, then flashed the stock +Rooted MyTouch 3G 1.2 ROM. If you do this, then you can start from step 6.

THIS IS AMAZING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

when i flash the recovery and boot into it just goes to the green mytouch splash screen and does nothing.. if i try to boot into recovery manually with power and home it goes to the black screen with the exclamation triangle and a phone...

So I tried flashing a new SPL following this method. I got softroot and installed Amon Ra's recovery via ROM Manager. I then booted into recovery and flashed Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 (seemed like the newest version) now my phone is stuck in a boot loop.

I can get into recovery but the phone will not boot into the OS or anything.

Prior to this, my HBOOT was 1.33.0013 (the one that came with the official 2.2.1 update from T-Mobile)

Any thoughts on how I could fix this? This isn't my primary phone since I have a G2 but I would like to get my old MyTouch3G to work.

----UPDATE----

I got into fastboot (forgot that I needed to hold the back button) and I see that HBOOT is now 1.33.2010 and I have S-OFF. Is there some incompatibility with my radio (shows 2.22.29.25) and this HBOOT?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liberatemail:
After SPL flash U have to flash ROM and some times radio too. New ROMs will not work with older SPLs and new radios some time not work with some ROMs. So, flash new ROM from Recovery.

I would recommend to flash Cyanogen MOD ROM for first try. There are detailed instructions for flashing on Cyanogen WIKI page? dont flash SPL, because U already did, start from step ROM flash.

Good luck

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Well that was helpful...

... NOT.

I mean, duh, I know how to search, and it's not in the first page, so it must be a really old ROM or it doesn't has FR83D in the name.
[Vega General] percy25:
Some GPS enabled apps on the Vega dont always work or even load.

This is because the device doesnt have a gps location to pass over to the App. One way around this is to install the following Application "My fake location" from the Market and set your GPS location manually.

Hope this helps.
[Vega General] adfrad:
Yes, "My fake location" works well, but you have to remember to fire it up before you run applications that use the GPS. Not a big issue, but something to remember.
[Vega General] orlok:
Also my fake location force closes on certain roms. Just flashing a later version of pauls rom has fixed it for me.

Here's the thing. For x reason my phone was confiscated in school. It had the simplest pattern lock in the world, yet the managed to mess it up. Now the phone is locked down and needs gmail login to sign in. Luckily they did not ask me to do it today because there was no wi fi in range, and they are still in possession of the phone. They only way to get inside the phone is through the gmail. I want to avoid this by any means.

I want to remotely disassociate my gmail account from the android device. That way the only way to unlock it will be through samsung service (this I will tell the school) ..I will tell them it got disassociated because it had been locked down for so long (2 days and counting, battery still has some juice left)

So, is there any way to do this ?

just bought today, i check settings and it says:

Model number GT-I9000

Firmware version: 2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number: FROYO.XWJPA

So it is already at andriod 2.2 right? The thing is, it is very jerky whenever i slide anything. For example if i go to applications, i can slide left or right through the 3 pages of applications, but its so jerky its making my head spin. Its like viewing the phone while going over speedbumps. Could it be the rom on this thing isn't that new? Because i'm sure i saw the froyo galaxy s on youtube with the app displaying moving up and down not left to right.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidewinder_UK:
Hi there,

I've got a lovely new HTC Desire HD :D, its been working fine for about a month, however something really strange is happening with the camera.

When in the defult camera app, the camera focuses nice and clear, pauses for half a second, then the screen goes black with a large phyisical mechanical shutter sound and feeling, then the camera reinitializes, focuses nice and clear... then the loop continues.:mad:

This keeps happening, even while trying to take a picture, if I'm not quick, the picture wont capture.

This doesnt seem to be effected by video mode...

Anyone got any ideas?:confused::confused::confused:

-Just to clarify, this is not the phone turning off after taking a picture bug. This is one I can't find anyone else mentioning anywhere. The phone is still one, the camera app just goes black and shutter goes clonk every few seconds after focusing.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacob1369:
Hi, this happened to me as well. I isolated the problem with the OC module I'm using. I don't use the Buzz kernel rather go the GScript route and load the module first, then cpoc then noreboot, oshitt then 100-1459 etc... which I have to do everytime I reboot.

I've tested it quite a few times and the phone sometimes hangs when loading the oshitt script. To remedy the situation, whenever the phone just rebooted, I go to the camera app first, test the video for a few seconds then exit out of the program before loading the GScripts...

Not sure if you are using SetCPU and loading scripts but its as close as I could describe to help you out mate!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidewinder_UK:
Thanks for the reply,

I haven't actually changed anything on this phone from stock, its not rooted nor does it have any form of OC or different ROM to the Orange, thats whats so puzzling.

The phone doesnt restart, just the app. I've narrowed it down to notice this ONLY happens when the camera focuses into something, either by tap or autofocus... :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidewinder_UK:
In the interim I've installed camera 360 that seems to work ok, which leads me to believe its more of a software problem then a hardware.

Camcorder started working normally but still no luck with the stock camera app :(

Maybe when 2.3 is released on dhd, this may resolve?

Are you running a task killer?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidewinder_UK:
No task killer running, I used to have one bit realised they were not worth the effort, especially after the usb debugging fix!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
I ask because I was having the same issue, and thought it may have been due to the task killer I was using. I think I've found my problem now though... I was using Tasker to control my display brightness, and strangely this caused the camera to exhibit the behaviour you describe. I've modified my Tasker settings to set brightness to Auto when camera is on and this appears to have resolved the problem. So do you have any 3rd party app controlling your screen brightness...?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidewinder_UK:
Thanks for the reply, I've tried playing around, still no luck, I don't think I have any programs that control the brightness. :( still can't find many other people who have had this issue. If it carries on, I may try to hard reset as I also can't use Google goggles anymore.

Im at work so dont have access to ADB.

Im running Alex-V 1.5 HDa2sd+, ive just found the Gingerbread keyboard and want to use it but if i install i get FC's on any key press, im assuming that its because i need to delete the stock keyboard first

Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this with Root Explorer ?

I have used TB to backup and restore several times after a flash but have yet to find a way to restore all the shortcuts to the screens other than redoing each one by one. Am I missing or is this just the way it is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
If you are using LauncherPro, then home screens can be backed up to sd card then restored after a flash, but widgets must be restored manually.

Not so sure about ADW or Touch Wiz cuz I don't use them.

You can backup/restore ADW as well.... its in the menu options like LP.

Hi Guys,

Today the messaging app on my HTC Desire HD would not start (force closing all the time). My provider (Orange) got me to take out the battery to reboot, which did get it working again - the downside was that all the messages were gone.

Now I had about 1400+ messages, which luckily I'd backed up to an xml file, Orange reckon it's the volume of messages that's causing the problem as they're stored on the SIM card - does anyone know of an app that will move them to the SDcard, the phone does not provide that option as far as I can see.

I really don't want to lose the messages and it was fine on my HTC Hero.

Note: I seen "lock" for one of the options in hboot mode but never used it before.

Hi,

currently i try to finalize my self cooked rom. It's based on the latet ASIA_WWE ROM 1.37.728.3 , latest radio and Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Build 29007 (or other WM6.5.3 build 23152 or 21686).

But currently i am experiecing some problems:

1. When the phone is in power saving mode (i.e. Display off), sometimes when i reactiavte the phone and take the slider to unlock, the display is switched off again and and locked too. How to fix this?

2. On first start, the screen where i have to accept or decline the google localization service, there is no text. Even a Ceckbox that is checked and two buttons. The buttons are already clear (no text). Could anyone tell me which files contains this text so that i can replace it?

3. There is another text problem with the program that is launched after google localization service. In german official htc rom (1.28.407.1) there is a link that points youtube.com . Which file contains this text and have to be replaced with a fixed one???

Thanks

Welche veränderungen hast du an deinem ROM vorgenommen? Es kann sein das ein Programm welches du in deinem Rom hinzugefügt hast sich mit etwas anderem nicht verträgt. Dieses Problem habe ich auch schon des öfteren gehabt, dann startete beim ersten start die Telefon einrichtung nicht, oder sprang direkt zum Startbildschirm.

What changes have you made to your ROM? You may be a program that you've added in your Rome is not compatible with something else. This problem I have had some say, then launched the first phone to start the device, or jump directly to the home screen.
[Touch2 ROM Development] StefanV3:
Hallo,

sorry, daß ich mich jetzt erst melde.

Also, ich habe folgendes gemacht:

-Basis ROM ASIA_WWE 1.37.728.3

-0407-MUI für die EXT-Packages vom T-Mobile-ROM bzw. vom HTC GER ROM 1.28.407.4

-OEM_Lang_0407 vom T-Mobile-ROM

-BtRez.dll.0407.mui com T-Mobile-ROM in OEMDRIVERS

-SYS und XIP 29007 mit deutschen MUI-Files von Rollup 23563

-OperatorPKG vom HTC GER ROM v1.28.407.4

Das Problem wird sein, daß irgendwo ein 0407-MUI-File fehlt, oder falsch ist (Google Location Service, etc.)

Was ich eigentlich wissen will ist, was genau beim ersten Start nach dem flashen asugeführt wird. So kann ich herausfinden, welche MUI-Files ich checken muß.

Hi,

sorry for answering so late.

What i have done is:

-Base ROM is ASIA_WWE_1.37.728.3

-used the 0407 MUI files from T-Mobile GER ROM 1.33.111.2 and HTC Stock ROM GER 1.28.407.4 for EXT packages

-OEM_Lang_0407 from T-Mobile ROM

-BtRez.dll.0407.mui from T-Mobile-ROM in OEMDRIVERS

-SYS und XIP 29007 with german MUI-Files from Rollup 23563

-OperatorPKG from HTC GER ROM v1.28.407.4

I think the problem is a missing or wrong mui file (i.e. Google Location service).

What i want to know is how to find out which programs are started a first start after rom flashing. With this i am able to find out which mui files i have to check

Grüße/Greetings

Also so tief bin ich bisher nicht ins System eingetaucht, ich hacke zwar auch sehr viel am System von Windows, jedoch hatte ich bisher keine Zeit mich so sehr mit den Systemdateien die tief im System sind zu beschäftigen.

Der Sinn des Asia Roms besteht doch darin das es die neuste Version für das HTC Mega ist, oder?

So I am not yet so deeply immersed into the system, I chop even very much at the system from Windows, but I had no time me so much with the system files that are deep in the system to employ.

The purpose of the Asia Rome is but it is the latest version of the HTC is Mega, right?
