[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc99mk:
Ok. I read up on the PB99IMG process.

I found a PB99IMG.zip file posted by Teppic74 which is a stock Froyo.

I copied it to the root of my goldcard and booted the phone.

It loaded the file and came up with

Incorrect CID error

update fail

I then kicked myself. I created the gold card to revert the phone to stock before sending it to HTC previously.

They replaced the motherboard. Would this have changed my CID?

I then thought 'no problem I'll just go through the gold card creation process again'

But although I can do stuff on the phone in fastboot mode, adb doesn't work in that mode. So trying adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

just gives an error.

So if my CID has changed, any idea how I can create a gold card with the phone in this state. Should adb only work when the phone is booted, or should it work in hboot or fastboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
i'm not sure which PB99IMG you're trying to flash but i'd use this (if its not the same):

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip

with regards to the goldcard, have you mounted the sdcard when in recovery? and then running

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

again?

if that doesn't work, you can use another TMobile Desire to create it.

therefore, i don't think the mbo change should affect your goldcard????

EDIT - when you got your phone back from repair, was it completely wiped? Tmobile may have wiped/swapped etc.. the goldcard you previously made.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc99mk:
I think it was that image that I used. But I'll download it again just to be sure.

When the phone was repaired before, I sent to HTC directly and I didn't send any sd card or battery. So it should still be as it was.

So if the CID isn't motherboard specific it should still work.

Is there any way to check whether it is still a goldcard? I may have formatted it again (don't recall).

Although thinking about it, I still have the image file emailed to me when I created the gold card originally, so I could just reapply it and try again.

I'm out tonight, but will try a few things and post back with my results.

Thanks for your help so far.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc99mk:
Another update and things have moved forward.

It turned out I'd trashed my gold card, but I did still have the image file so I recreated it.

I then booted the phone again and it loaded the PB99IMP.zip file.

It then asked me if I wanted to perform the update. I said yes, and it updated the bootloader and rebooted. Then it froze on Checking PB99IMP.zip....

After leaving it 10-15 minutes I pulled the battery again and left it for a while.

I tried again just now.

I can see that it has updated the HBOOT, so I'm no longer S-OFF.

Just now I thought it was going to work it got about halfway through updating the system partition before freezing.

If only it had updated the splash1 image before the system, I might've had the phone in a suitable state to return. But it still shows my custom splash1 screen when powering on normally - then it changes to the piccy with the green arrows.

I'll try it again later after leaving the battery out for a while.

But the fact it freezes in the middle of such an update suggests it's definitely a hardware problem of some sort.

If anyone has any other ideas I could try, please let me know. But once again thanks for all the help so far.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Sounds like you're getting somewhere :)

Just keep on trying every now and again.

Hopefully it'll go through...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
Booting into recovery was impossible...it kept crashing, so I tried booting into Fastboot (back + power) and this worked! I rebooted the bootloader, which made me able to boot into recovery (vol down + power) :)

I cleared the Dalvik Cache, which made my Desire again be able to boot the Oxygen Rom! :)

Great advance so far...

All system-settings were still there, but all installed Apps are gone. :confused:

I tried to install Titanium Backup from the market to restore the apps from my latetst backup, but the download fails immediately. It's like the download doesn't even start!

I'm not quite sure and obviously not so technically adept as you two (:o), that is why I can only assume that something is wrong with my SD-ext partition?

Another problem is that I can't mount the USB-storage to my compute :confused:

This prevents me from being able to copy the PB99IMG (I finally found the RUU for the German T-Mobile with Hboot 0.80 from a trusted source :)), because at the moment I don't have any access to a adapter for the microSD card :(

What to do now?

Is there another way to mount the USB-storage? (I tried it in clockwork recovery, but it hat no effect :( maybe due to the corruption of my SD-ext? Just guessing...please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Am I even heading in the right direction by trying to revert my Desire via PB99IMG into its original state?

I'm doubting, because I now can boot the Oxygen Rom without encountering any problems.

Thanks for your help! :)

edit:

I posted this on an other thread:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc99mk:
Glad to hear you got yours sorted spaboleo.

And I have good news (of sorts) as well.

After 3 more attempts I got the update to complete. So my phone is now stock.:)

It's definitely still got a problem. It just about boots up and I did get through setup program, but then it froze.

On each subsequent boot so far it has frozen within a minute or two of getting into sense.

So it looks like it's going to have to go back again:mad:

Think I might try and push for a complete new phone this time, although I doubt that'll happen.

So thanks once again mikep99 for your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
I'm glad the 2 of you are back to the required states with your phones :)

Pc99mk, yep, unfortunately does sound like a hardware failure. Id definitely be having harsh words with htc...

Good luck!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc99mk:
Hi guys. Just a quick update.

I'm impressed with HTC. They are based in Milton Keynes, as am I. So this time they let drop the phone off in person yesterday.

This morning I got a call saying it was ready to collect. They've replaced the motherboard and also said the some of the hard keys were faulty - which may explain the problems I had navigating in recovery.

So hats off to HTC for a great service.

The only problem is I bought myself an Orange San Francisco to tide me over for what I thought would be two weeks. Could've saved myself the trouble and the money. Might keep it as a spare though.

I have seen a few dual sim card adaptors that sellers are claiming work with the Mini Pro. Has anybody tried them or have any thoughts/advice regarding them?

I don't expect they will be dual standby (both working simultaneously) but I am still interested to do this rather than carrying 2 phones around.

If it worked it would be great. Does anyone know if it works? Maybe booth could work together with some app... I don't know, when it comes to Cellphones I'm a total Noob..

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mariorenato:
I have a double sim (one sim with 2 number) from vodafone, wich is basicaly the same as a dual sim adapter.

It works as it should.. the only bugger is that every time you change the active sim, it forces you to re.login to your google account.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
How do you change between the two numbers? Did it cost you extra to get this from Vodafone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mariorenato:
The double sim is a product from vodafone.. About 15euro once for it. You give them your numbers and in 1- 2 days you get the new card.

To change betwen numbers you have several options. Either the sim menu and select the numer you want.. Boot the phone and and use he pin you want.(each number has a pin) or dial 0 or 00 to reboot the sim. The phone asks for the pin
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] brim4brim:
Anyone using these adaptors? I need to order one for my phone.

I have a Vodafone and an O2 sim using an Xperia Mini Pro and want to have both in it at the same time.

Just want to know if it will work on an Xperia Mini Pro which might not be the same as the X10 Mini Pro for compatibility or whatever. Never done this before.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liamhammond:
Check out www.magic-sim.com I got one for my Samsung galaxy s2 from them and it's a great little device. There's a compatibility checking function on the website so you could check the mini pro there.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skirhir:
I used it, 3 years ago... You only require a phone with a "sim menu", (the one with your carrier options... And a case big enough to be able to close it with this sim that is a little bit thicker.

The one I tested made disappear your carrier "sim menu", and replaced it with a custom menu that allowed to change the sim... Even allowed to schedule the changes...

The bad thing is the time it takes to obtain signal after making the change ( the same time it takes when you turn on the phone), and that you have to cut your SIMs to be able to insert them...

Now I sow one that did'n require to cut the Sim, but I think that's too big for lots of phones.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liamhammond:
The one I have from magic-sim fits really well. Sim switching takes about 4 seconds. It sounds like the technology has improved a lot since you used it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] caarhartt:
how it connects, in layers?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Slash90[ITA]:
so, this adaptor don't make the phone work with the two sim at the same time?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skirhir:
I've seen 3 presentations...

One next to the other, In layers, And in standard sim size, (croping your two sim cards and inserting them inside the other)...

Depending on your device It can or not fit the phone case.

No. For that purchase a chinese or a black berry with 2 3 or 4 sims.

Is there any android with such a feature? It would make grate "spy phones"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
every custom windows rom i have ever tried with different variety of radios always has issues. either sense wont load or if it does it will at some point freeze on the lock screen. everyone was raving about android "nand" and as i was having freezing and sod issues with that thought it was maybe sd card size/class issue and was hopeful nand would be more usuable but every one i try just freezes on boot or when im using it.

is everyone just pretending these custom roms and android roms work or is it just me or my phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixtraveller:
Lol.

BOTH!

Yes, magldr full of bugs. F**** your battery that is for sure and I do not care what anyone says about that because I have done diagnostics and voltage and amperage etc compared with WinMo. But as long as you CHARGE IT WHEN TURNED OFF its all ok. Doesnt KILL it but drains it I should say - BAD. And gets VERY VERY VERY HOT.

Ok: to solve your drama do this:

Re-install HSPL3.

Get your original STOCK ROM OEM.

Extract .exe using winrar (its an archive too) and put your ruu_signed.nbh onto an <4gb SD CARD named LEOIMG.NBH (only this file and format first as fat32).

Pop battery and hold vol down and update.

Once done then:

re-install HSPL3 again.

now: get the radio rom with 576mb support from (search) how-to-mtty-without-task-29 and use task29.exe

This formats your device AND installs necessary radio.

Reboot with vol down goto hspl.

run ruu exe for magldr.nbh.

reboot again (pop bat) and goto usb flasher.

flash CLOCKWORK MOD recovery using daf.exe.

partition your sd card appropriately. i use 16gb with 4096 ext and 256 cache.

install using clockwork - zip rom - update.zip..

best rom imho = pcc windows 7 android.

ps: you know about Ubuntu?

pps: having FATAL 1E HIT ? hot battery ? no charge/power ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
everything will work fine if i do this then will it? will a 2gb sd card do?

whats OEM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisman99:
cant get this to work because i cant get into clockwork, dont load when i select Boot AD SD.

Also doesnt explain why i cant get custom windows roms to run properly.

Plus forgeting clockwork why cant i get an android nand rom to work without freezing?

1.) IMEI ID is on the back of the phone and don't think you can change that.

4.) Astro also lets you install third party apps that are loaded onto your SD card. My files just lets you browse.

5.) If you dont' need daily breifing, don't use it. I don't use it either.

6.) PDAnet will let you tether via USB and there are a few others.

10.) when you add a app to your home screens, you have the option to change the name. Doesn't help with your app drawer OCD but keeps your home screens under control.

11.) There are multiple threads about random shutdowns. Read them all if you want. So far, increasing the sleep speed minimum to 2000 (in setCPU) has worked for me. Granted it's only been a few days but no shutdowns since doing that.

14.) Reading all the GPS threads will show you that it's not locked into a particular OS. Nobody really knows what the problem is. Some have great GPS, some don't. Some get it working better with fixes, some don't.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WandererTJ:
4. My Files has a package installer if you have enabled sideloading of apps and seems to work the same as ASTRO as far as I can tell.

10. I havent seen an option to change the name on the homescreen either, I usually just drag them from my app drawer though.

11. Could you define what the sleep speed minimum is?

EDIT: ANd big thanks on where the IMEI was. I was kind of avoiding taking the battery out, but the number on the back matched the number in the phone info so I was happy. And for some reason my phone now works with exchange. I think my phone was waiting till I knew what it knew lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WandererTJ:
:D Big thanks

As for my Android ID, I didnt know about it until afterwards. The posts that inform people about flashing and Rooting should mention this, because I didn't see it anywhere until after I was worrying about my phone not being able to connect to my email, but for some reason this morning when I tried it miraculously worked.

As for #3, where is my system folder? is it: I:\media\audio\ringtones ?

with my "system" being "I:"

I recently discovered setting custom sounds for my email accounts, but I am curious about all the default tones.

Are all the ones listed in different setting all just the same file with the exception that they only play for "X" amount of type depending on menu your are in?

And can the captivate not play MIDI files?....you know, old school polyphonic files........

And how the heck do I change the text tone for while my phone is plugged into the USB? omg it is the most annoying sound in the world, why does it not use the tone I have my texts set for? (I forgot this one on my list)

Thanks for your answer to #11. My phone hadnt done it at all until I dropped it down about 10 feet at a concert screen down 6 days after I got it. The next day the phone did the reset thing and I just about cried cuz I was just like I know it's because I dropped it. On the bright side when I picked it up after it fell, it didnt have a scratch on it or nothin'.

How do you alter a .vcf file?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
I agree, all Custom ROM threads should have a little blurb about it for people installing their ROM from a new stock device. But it seems to be fixable even if you didn't with a little work, so it's not too bad.

You can use Root Explorer to copy them to /system/media/audio/ringtones, but I think they may have to be in .ogg for them to work out of this directory. I'm not entirely positive, but all you would have to do to test it is push a non-.ogg ringtone over and try it. To copy your ringtones over nice and easy like;

Download the Android SDK and extract the android-sdk-windows folder to your desktop for easy copy pasta!

And enable USB Debugging (Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging)

Open a command prompt!

that's in a perfect world where it won't complain about permissions. if it does;

I'm not sure if the Captivate can play .MIDI files for notification sounds. Only one way to find out though, right?

And i have no idea why your text tone is different when plugged into USB...mine sounds the same. :confused:

Late edit: forgot to answer one of em, you can edit .vcf files in MS Outlook!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
if you have a custom ringtone set for something and you have the phone plugged into usb, the phone can't access the the SD card where the custom tone is stored, thus you get that annoying (and loud) built in tone.

Re: myfiles: it does indeed let you install apps, but I'd recommend estrongs file explorer. It allows you to not only browse you're phone, but your pc files too (assuming it's on the same network, of course.) And let you open, copy and edit between the 2 devices.

Re: allshare: out of the box this great app let me browse and watch all of the video files off of my PC. I didn't have to configure anything special, except that my PC was already configured to share media with my xbox 360.

So ive been looking and asking around about the bluetooth voice dialing thats supposed to be included in froyo builds and found something out, it seems that builds of froyo that came from htc had this apk ripped out for some reason, unlike builds leaked from google that had it and since it seems that the chefs here use builds of froyo from htc none of them had it..

so i did some digging and found the apk.. its an unsigned system apk and must either be pushed to a non squashed system/app folder or cooked in.

View attachment 485634

this is the latest version from what i can tell/find.

(sorry if this might not be the best place to post this, but i thought it would be the most noticeable for the chefs)

just got this working on mdeejays froyo revolution 2.3.. it seems that due to permissions needed it has to be either cooked in or pushed to the system/app/ folder, it works with that build due to it being unsquashed, so yes, this works perfectly.

and big tip, change the language under settings/voice input & output/voice recognizer settings/ to your correct locale, it helps alot.

Custom Lockscreen Mod

For those who are like me and want a different lockscreen and not always looking at the wallpaper, this simple Mod is for you.

This mod should work on all Sense ROM`s, just ensure you load the correct version for your ROM base (2.2 or 2.2.1)

As always - NANDROID IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE YOU APPLY THIS MOD

This is what it takes:

1. Download the matching lockscreen update.zip for your ROM (2.2 or 2.2.1)

2. Create a 480x788 pixel png (no jpg) and name it lockscreen_topedge.png - if desired you can add a little transparency if you want this effect

3. Extract the HtcLockScreen.apk from the lockscreen.zip

4. Open (NOT UNPACK) HtcLockScreen.apk with winrar and drag your lockscreen_topedge.png in the res/drawable-hdpi folder and just close the apk. Make sure your compression settings in winrar are store to avoid any issues.

5. In a perfect world you zipalign your apk for less Ram consumption, but since this is only 1, you will not notice a difference anyway.

6. Now drag the HtcLockScreen.apk in the lockscreen2.2.1 or lockscreen2.2.zip (depends what you have downloaded for your type of ROM) in the system/app folder and close the zip. Again - no need to pack or unpack anything, this would only break the signage.

7. Install like a ROM with ROM Manager or directly from recovery.

8. Enjoy :D

Download Custom Lockscreen for 2.2.1 ROM`s

Feel free to post screenshots of your own versions here and give feedback, on which ROM`s the mod works (should on ALL Sense based DHD ROM`s).

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Shidapu:
Sadly i need a more step to step guide than this, really looks great and cool! But it says nothing about exactly "where" i should be getting these files from, i thought you only needed the Zip file you uploaded to get those effects, but seems i have to do it myself depending on my rom. :(

Thanks though!

Edit:

I just tried it out, and it seemed to work without any modification, but i noticed a bug with the very lowest border is missing, i can see thrue it, and see my normal background there, like the picture is not scaled enaugh for the screen resolution :)

Thanks!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
If you want exactly this lady, just download the zip (if you are on a 2.2.1 ROM) and flash the zip.

If you want to customize the lockscreen yourself, all you need is to build your own png with 480 x 774 pixel in Photoshop or whatever image editor you use and replace the png in the apk, drag the edited apk in the update.zip and flash.
