[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdulay8:
I have zero service in my house so I was excited to upgrade to my G2 for its Wifi calling. I am running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and cannot hold a conversation because the connection is absolutely terrible; the other person's voice would be choppy and I wouldn't be able to make sense of what they were saying. I have a wireless N router in my bedroom so signal strength is not the issue. Anyone have any ideas how I might remedy this? Thanks in advance!

[Milestone XT720 General] originalspic:
I noticed that there are a few people that are having a problem with the.phone being rooted and then losing wifing capability. Is there a fix cause all I find is things about tethering but I.just want to hook up to my router. And yea it worked before but now norhifg. Thanks for the help
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
not sure were you heard it from

but that is totally not true

my XT720 is rooted, hacked, etc, and it has no problem at all running WiFi
[Milestone XT720 General] originalspic:
Ok. Maybe its just me. I cant connect to any wifi connection eve.n without a password. I guess I will fiddle around some more unless someone knows a possible fix.....but I think its just me
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
check the router / WiFi AP settings.

does it work when you go out to the free WiFi in cafes and other places?
[Milestone XT720 General] Beako:
I've noticed my phone has problems keeping an active wifi connection. 80% of the time I open up the market, it keeps asking me to retry. Piece of crap phone.
[Milestone XT720 General] Paolo1:

Io ho il tuo stesso problema dopo il root.

I have your same problem after the root
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
set the WiFi to not sleep when the screen is off

there is an option for that in the settings menu
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Could someone please clarify what is the latest HTC Desire HD software version for the UK please?

I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD a few days ago and the version on my brand new sim free DHD is 1.32.405.6 with no updates showing when attempting to search for an update via OTA.

Thing is I notice talk of a 1.72 build on this forum and was wondering have other DHD owners in the UK had this update yet or what exactly is the situation with newer software in the UK?

Also theres some other talk of this newer version being pulled? Just really trying to clarify what exactly is happening as I have read in the newer build battery life on the DHD has improved and this would be very welcome as with any other enhancements.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
1.72 was removed by HTC as it seemed to be having some issues, especially with SD cards, the battery life improvements are down to the newer radio which can be found here, a quick caution newer OTA upgrades patch the exploit that is used to gain root so if you anticipate wanting to root your DHD and flash customs roms best to avoid them.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Thanks very much for clarifying, I was wondering why there was no update showing as people on here were talking about 1.72 and I have 1.32 with no updates showing.

I have rooted my DHD with visionary only to get Screen shot working and have done S-OFF only to get Adfree working.

I have got Rom Manager installed with Clockworkmod but haven't installed any custom roms as this is a brand new phone for me and to be honest I'm happy with the stock look of the phone. I only rooted and got S-OFF to get the two above things working. So basically when this 1.72 does come the root will be taken away I see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccotrisoliere:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] brenopapito:
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

Here is a tutorial made by me. Try to be as clear as possible to no have doubts.

First of all, gives root access permissions and capabilities of advanced settings changes that normal users can not. This expands the use of some applications that only work if the unit is rooted.

*** IMPORTANT ***

Make every procedure at your own risk. Doing it wrong can brick your phone and turn it into a very stylish paper weight. I´m not responsible for possible damage.

PROGRAMMES REQUIRED

Z4root-1.3.0

FOOTSTEPS

1 - Download z4root.apk, transfer it to a folder on the SD card;

2 - Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB Debugging;

3 - Go to File -> Files from the SD card and locate the "z4root.apk";

4 - Select and install "z4root.apk";

5 - Go back to menu and select z4root;

6 - When the application open, select "Root";

7 - After the process of Root and the unit will restart when you return he will be rooted;

The whole process takes no more than 5 minutes. With the unit rooted will show a new icon, "Superuser" menu, there you can manage the applications that will be allowed access.

The whole process was done by me using Windows 7 Ultimate x32.

It took about 3 minutes. I am available for questions.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
I had just installed z4root on my phone, n rooted from there.

But for me it took arnd 30 min or so. So if some1 doesnt get it done in 5 min, dont get scared. It mite take a while longer... ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] littlekp:
My one is UK version and please install > Temp root > Permanant root (if you want)

Else you may get a hang of system. It took me about less than 1 minute for whole process. Thank you.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caeci11ius:
Used z4root 1.3 (though not with instructions from here)...did permanent root as had read temporary didn't work and had no issues. Process took under a minute once I enabled use debugging as requested in the app...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
I am very new to Android (first phone as MS2).. And the day I rooted my phone, tht ws d first day I had my phone.. So mayb I missed "use debugging" n hence it took longer..
[Milestone 2 Android Development] brenopapito:
2 - Go to Settings menu -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB Debugging;
[Milestone 2 Android Development] fable21:
how do i execute step 5?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Thanks brenopapito. But I already have my phone rooted. As I said it just took me longer coz probably I missed enabling debugging.

Thanks anyways!!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
He is just asking to go to App Drawer and Run z4root from there.

Just Run the app z4root...

z4root did not work on my Milestone 2. It force crashes every time. :(

It is a Brazilian version.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] skaburn:
I have a problem, z4 it's about 15 minutes that is locked on:

"runninge exploit in order to obtain root access"

I must to wait? If I shut my milestone I risk to brick?

edit:

reboot -> no brick -> "re z4" -> 30 second -> rooted!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mandrsn1:
That isn't working on mine either. I get to "acquiring root shell" and z4root exits to the home screen. No force crash, just closes.

software Build: MILA2_U6_3.21.0
[Milestone 2 Android Development] skulljoi:
are you sure about that?

mine is: MILA2_U6_3_12.0

I do apply the new SFB that i got on site too. try aply that SFB and then before use z4 reboot the phone and try again ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mandrsn1:
my build: MILA2_U6_3.21.0 <-- That is correct, I have never applied an SBF file, only automatic updates

[Milestone 2 Android Development] modern_messiah:
Put your phone in Airplane mode, and then run z4root.

No idea why it won't work without doing this, but it does.

I also had problem obtaining temporary root, but seen as I use various programs that require root privileges it didn't bother me much - permanent root works perfectly.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mandrsn1:
I probably just have to wait for z4root 1.4.0. Nothing in this thread works.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] pabloamaio:
My MS2 is the Brazilian Retail version, and the z4root hasn't work for me too. I had followed the procedure step by step, and after a very long time, my phone reboot, and when it turns on again nothing has happened. Did you know some other way to have root acess for the MS2?

This is my very first Android, and after that I was afraid to try again. (In my old HTC Wizard thats all too easy)

Thanks,

Pablo

should my phone has some problems and I have to bring it to moto service, how do I unroot the phone?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DeadSix17:
If you used z4root to root it.. just choose the "Un-Root" option in the App.

If not.. a Factory Reset will remove everything root related of your fone... also a new Firmware Flash is good aswell.. to make it fully clean.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] patton82:
factory reset doesn't remove root and all changes in /system directory, you have to flash a sbf or restore a rom backup
[Milestone 2 Android Development] handsomeboy1702:
Z4root doesn't work for me
[Milestone 2 Android Development] mandrsn1:
Yeah, it worked for me until my phone updated to 2.2.1. I am hoping the ATRIX root method works on the milestone 2.

this post solves the problem of the root on Milestone 2 ?

I will buy a Milestone 2 in the future ( this week ) but I don't see any ROMs or Root to this phone.

Thanks :)

Use z4root. One click permanent root.

[Milestone 2 Android Development] agent008my:
my anti-virus program on my computer keeps detecting a trojan everytime i download the file. is that normal?

EDIT: here's what happened. astro file manager---->z4 root ----> open app manager.

as soon as i opened app manager, nothing happened. there were no details of the application, nor was there any install button. all the fields which were meant to have values were empty. this was the same despite me rebooting my phone.

Build number: MILS2_U6_2.4.18

Firmware: 2.2

system version: Version.62.4.18.A953.AsiaRetail.en.03

Baseband : EPU93ST2_U_03.0C.01

EDIT 2: upon a second attempt, i downloaded the z4root file from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027834

i managed to install z4root (after enabling installation of non market apps and selecting USB debugging). i ran the app and selected permanent root. however, everytime the second message came up (acquiring root source or sthg like that), the app would force close and go back to my home screen. this was the case even after rebooting the phone, switching to flight mode and uninstalling, and then reinstalling z4root.apk program.

EDIT 3: tried every possible method. and tried again and again but everytime the message comes up 'acquiring root shell' z4root closes and gets back to my home screen. its bloody impossible to root this phone. i guess i just have to wait for z4root 1.4:(

any thoughts as to why this is happening? could there be a possibility that my phone cant be rooted for some reason?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] kenkenlau:
I have the same issue, but then i turn to super one click and got it rooted.

Note that u must have the win7 driver installed. otherwise super one click will not do the job as well. spent over 2 hours for me to get the solution!

good luck
[Milestone 2 Android Development] agent008my:
Thanks for your solution. I managed to root with one click some time back. Forgot to update the thread:) silly me:) Apparently the reason of being unable to root it was because there is a loophole that was closed. I will be updating my video tutorial thread by adding the one click method so other users who can't use z4root will be able to root. Thanks again:-)

z4root works on the older MS2 models. however newer ones have had a particular loophole shut. so the only other options would be gingerbreak or superoneclick.

Hy all !!

Is there something I'm missing ?

I tried to root my milestone 2 using Z4root 1.3.0, but nothing never happend...

Actualy, I launch program, then chose permanent root, it starts, until it is "aquiring rootshel" and I return on the "home" screen, no reboot, nothing...

I tried to reboot manualy after, but it didn't change anything, an I tried with or without usb connection active (usb debug mode is on, I checked twice)...

So, is my phone unbootable ?

system version is : 62.4.24.A953retail en FR

android version 2.2.2

noyau : 2.6.32.9-g6685cb4

build : mils2_U6_2.4.24

thx for your help
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
Ok, you can use SuperOne Click 2.3.3, just download motorola drivers from here: http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/

Choose the right version for your pc (32 or 64 bits) and then your pc will recognize it with usb debuggin enabled
[Milestone 2 Android Development] lastshady:
i installed the 64bit driver but laptop still wont recoknize my phone
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
That's odd... try downloading Android SDK and through SDK manager install google usb drivers
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
It happens sometimes for no reason (got that with the MS2 my brother was using for one specific rom version).

Best way to "fix" it is to reflash with the right sbf, and start the process (root/bootstrat/etc) over again.

Might want to dl a linux (probably Ubuntu) live cd, just to see if it's detected.

I know when it happened we couldn't make it detected on either of our windows or linux boxes, an sbf flash later it was working again normally on all boxes. ;)

Edit :

If your tries aren't successful, you can try deinstalling the Motorola Drivers/Helpers, and use this to get your drivers : http://www.xda-developers.com/android/universal-naked-driver-gets-face-lift-adds-new-devices/

Not sure if it can help but maybe.

Oh and you can try to use the USB Mass Storage drivers instead of the MTP ones (notoriously buggy/problematic on Win Vista/7 64bits), by going to the device manager (as administrator), finding your device (either in usb devices or mtp i don't remember), updating driver, choose "from my computer" then "choose specific driver" and take USB Mass Storage in the list.

It's what i had to do, MTP never worked for me.

After that, be sure to disable your AntiVirus for the root procedure itself if you use SuperOneClick (probably true for other ways too) since a good chunk of AV consider the root exploits as "virus".

I believe it is one year from time of purchase, or if you have insurance, it's considered lifetime. I did not bother to ask if that included rooting. I'm sure you understand why.

im currently using stock tmobile htc hd2 rom

here is my problem:

when im composing a text message and there is an incoming text message i have to wait for the message to arrive before i can resume composing one. what seems to be the problem?

the unit sometimes hangs when there is also an incoming call :(
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Your phone is saving the text messages to your microSD card. When Sense calls for them, the phone will hang while searching for every single message.

By deleting old messages and keeping your inbox less that 100 messages, you should see a significant drop in the length of time before a contact or message is loaded.

Also, this has been attributed to the Class 2 microSD card that shipped with the phone. Some xda members have reported a much better experience with a smaller, higher class card.
[HD2 General] anya618:
thanks for the quick reply sir. i was under the impression text messages are saved in the internal memory just like my old windows mobile phone?

so i should limit the number of text messages to 100 or less? ive had close to a 1000 text messages in my old windows mobile phone and it didnt hang when someone is calling or when im receiving sms messages. i thought this phone could handle more since it has a higher specs

what kind of memory card is recommended for htc hd2 tmobile? will class 4 do? or it should be higher? (6, 8, 10?)

thanks in advance :D
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Do a search on this forum for "class 4" and you'll see a lot of threads started about this issue when the phones first came out:
