No, this was on my PHONE. Downloaded the file from my phone.

I wish I could find the article but it specifically stated that a virus could be inserted into small files that are downloaded that would then give someone FULL access to the phone. They could grab anything they want as long as they know the filename and I would also assume, the path. In this case they opted for my stored password info, logged in and changed it.

Not cool at all. Wish I could find the article.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yahya.hamid:
HI,

Is there a way to flash the new roms without the Volume rocker working. My phone was all good till i dropped it and the volume rocker has stopped working.

I ask tot he super minds...Is there a way to flash a rom if ones volume rocker is not working?

I looked at the ROM thread for WP7 and at one point you have to chose USB flasher via the volume key. If thats true and there is no other way then i cant instal WP7 ever..

************sigh**********

PLS help

EDIT:--- Now i am dead... installed radio....installed magldr and now cant select usb flasher mode. Damn.

Pls help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] 0711:
i dont think there is a way without volume down key...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yahya.hamid:
How can i boot directly into boot loader without volume key??

has to be a workaround with all the smart ppl here.

XDA rulezzzzz....someone help me
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jonny4911:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yahya.hamid:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yahya.hamid:

Installed magldr and now ant choose the USB flasher mood.

Pls someone help me to get back or get forward...

or am i bricked?

Really worried
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Laurentius26:
You need Enter boot software. :)

My friend Spike advised it to me long time ago so all credits go to him for finding it.

http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=htc+enter+boot+cab

Edit, but if you try WP7 you need to realise Enter boot won't work there so you can't go back.

Better to fix the volume keys.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ClydeB1:
Thanks for that. ;)

The only problem is that he's already installed magldr and AFAIK there's no way to get back to WM to run the cab, unless you know of a way back that doesn't involve using the vol keys?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tarekkkkk:
You need an electronics dude (like me) or some experience on how-to de-assemble at least phones anyway if you succeed on de-assembling the phone all you have to do is using a tiny pin plug it inside the volume controls you should be able to press the pcb push button and not the outside plugin

If you cant do all of this ask a friend of yours (electronics) or take to phone shop hell do it for you in exactly 30 secs :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sgjl:
no way ...

There no way to flash WP7 without volume key ... Many rom or tool offer you

the possibility to enter directly in bootloader but after flashed MagLdr you will be stuck because you will be unable to enter in MagLdr and unable to scroll down to choice 5 (usb flash). i know it because i have the same problem .... :mad:
[Vibrant General] lawalty:
I'm a proud Vibrant owner, rooted with Nero 4.1 & Voodo. I have a 16gb external SD card filled with personal files, music, and movies. I purchased my Vibrant for a little over $450 at T-Mobile and spent exrta money on a 16gb SD card, and a protective cover.

Today (01/14/2010), I can go to Best Buy and use a special 'Buy Back' program and they will give me $165 for my Vibrant on a in-store gift card. I can then turn around and purchase a Nexus S with it.

Nexus S is $529.99 - $165.00 = $364.99 + %8.29 (Sales Tax) = $395.10

Knowing how close the Nexus S is to the Vibrant, would you shell out 400 clams for the 'Pure Google Experience'? Whats your take? I have an idea, but why should I buy something that my rooted Vibrant can do except a FFC?? Opinions?

The Nexus S doesn't even have an external SD slot.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
Yes you getting google updates but you are missing the sd slot. Thats a total buzzkill for me.

Im just going to continue supporting the dev's here at xda and maybe be brave and install the ffc.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
not unless the money was burning a hole in my pocket

they're practically the same phone. not worth it imo
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
At the time I bought the Vibrant the only real difference between it and others in its class was the up to 48 gigs of storage (16 internal, up to 32 external). Save your money you have a great phone, thanks in large part to the devs here. We'll have Gingerbread soon.
[Vibrant General] Dr.Games:
Absolutely not.

You're basically getting 30% of the total value of the phone. The vibrant, even without the updates, is still worth more then $165.

The nexus S is definitely worth $400, but if your giving up a device thats worth more then $165 to get the $400 price tag, nuh uh. Don't do it. Not worth it at all.
[Vibrant General] emonero:
you could get more $$ in here in the marketplace....a then use that money to buy any other phone you want...
[Vibrant General] Mitsumanny:
Not at all. It just doesn't feel like the additions to the S make it any better than a rooted Vibrant especially with the loss of the SD slot.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Never, don't ever purchase anything made by samsung, even if the software is controlled by google, the answer is no no no no no!

Let google learn a lesson too, maybe in the future they will choose another hardware manufacturor.
[Vibrant General] lawalty:
I agree with everyone about the bad marketing decisions Samsung is taking. Which explains how every Galaxy S series phones throughout the world received Froyo except for the 4 sim-lock carriers in the US.

-but-

Respectfully, I disagree with you about the Nexus S. Even though the hardware is from Samsung (which NO other phone out there can beat the Super AMOLED screen). Google has already sent an update to the Nexus S to 2.3.1. Owning a Google phone like the Nexus S is guaranteeing Android updates.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
the nexus s is already outdated

wait for more dual core 4g phones coming out this quarter
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
No. My next phone will have a dual core processor.
[Vibrant General] lawalty:
DITTO on that! Except I heard that dual core is a drain on the battery. We don't have battery technology as of yet to give a substantial user experience to last as long as what superphones do now.
[Vibrant General] cowppl:
Stick with your Vibrant or sell it on Craigslist or Ebay or something, but getting $165 for it is a complete rip-off.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
have fun with manufacturer based skin and late OTAs (or OTAs not even happening)

.. your phone may not have the latest hardware specs, but it will always have the latest android version

its a matter of compromising latest hardware vs latest software
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
can the nexus s even record HD video?

life won't end if you're not running the absolute latest OS. besides, that's what XDA is for... NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT GPS

in the end, the technology advances so quickly, no matter what you buy you will have buyer's remorse within six months. phones are evolving at a faster pace right now than PCs did a few years back
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
it doesnt matter if rooted ROMs are available, what matters is that Samsung isn't open sourcing the kernel for 2.2.

Open sourced kernels allows development to move even further. OC'd kernels for the Vibrant are based off the I9000 kernel, which results into poor battery life.

Also, all ROMs built for the Vibrant are pretty much using the base of TouchWiz. Now im not complaining about TouchWiz, I do like a lot of the aspects from it. The Power Widget on the notification bar was a great start; but the fact is that Samsung is not reliable when it comes to software updates. The one plus with TouchWiz is the video codecs.

The Nexus S is a unlocked bootloader from the very beginning with easy commands to unlock and lock it. It is made in mind that its a device primarily made to be hacked with. It is backed by Google.

Not to mention.. the Nexus S at this point has more love from CyanogenMod than the Vibrant. The Vibrant and Galaxy S series dev community is too split between each other. The Nexus S is the same in the UK and USA, therefore.. it allows further collaboration with each other.

In the end, it really depends what you want. What can you fight against? hardware or software? Since most of us are tight on cash, im sure a lot of us would lean towards software. In this case, the Nexus series would be the winner since it is backed by Google (or any device that is supported by CyanogenMod).

And dont even start with HD recording.. OH MY! we all have to realize that a phone has its limitations. If you're looking to take pictures or do a lot of video recording, just do yourself a favor and get a dedicated camera.... not to mention with TouchWiz, have fun taking HD recording for a long period of time... when it hits the 15% mark, have fun recording or taking pictures buddy ;)

Oh really....? Tell that to the people who are filing lawsuits and enraging because Samsung isnt releasing a 2.2 OTA.... OH WAIT?! we have rooted ROMs with 2.2... does that justify the idea that they aren't doing OTAs to maintain their products? But instead to just release new ones without committing to their current products?

Go tell that to people who stuck a two-year contract with a MOTOROLA CLIQ, Droid Eris, and all those phones that the manufacturer didnt commit to upgrading their existing phones. The reason why there aren't more people who are furious about this is because they aren't tech savvy and just care about the phone working.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
i want a fast phone that works. i have that.

lol @ the "it's not a feature until we get it" mindset. iphone much?

my battery never gets down to 15% anyway, because nero is awesome on battery life

i understand the anger towards samsung, and it's completely valid. however, if you want it done right you have to do it yourself. xda has allowed that for many many people. lawsuits and complaints about manufacturers might as well fall on deaf ears, because nothing will happen around here because of that

i would tell those people to do their research before making such a large purchase. i knew full well samsung's history when i bought my vibrant. i knew there might be a good chance they'd jerk consumers around and delay updates. if i was running stock, i would be furious... but i bought an android phone full well knowing that i would be modding it... a lot.

lastly, team whiskey > cyanogenmod
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Nope..

I will not buy anything else made by Samsung. Back in the 80's / 90's they built the absolute best quality products with great support. I've been fighting with my GPS for too long and they didn't make it right. There was going to be a 2.2 update in August and it still hasn't happend (except for the great XDA devs). My first Android device was a HTC (g1) and my next one will be as well.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
It's not all about you. People have their different reasons for having phones:

1) Flash Addict: Always wanting something to flash. With a developer phone like Nexus S (or any other phone that is popular in the modding community)

2) Normal user

.. and so forth. All ROMs in general has one thing in mind: increasing its speed.

Again.. this is not all about you at all. Some people are more heavy users when it comes to battery than others. Nevertheless, the 15% mark is annoying and should be removed. Hacked camera.apk does this but not incorporated in all Vibrant ROMs.

What you said makes absolutely no sense. Grammar check. I personally don't care about Samsung not updating to 2.2 because I don't use a Vibrant anymore, but I still have the phone.

All your points aren't even valid. You're just trying to start a war without pointing out what I said but going AROUND them because you can't defeat my points.

My point is that it just depends on what kind of person you are. And you can say whatever your opinion is about CyanogenMod and Team Whiskey, you just seem like a ignorant individual who is difficult to argue with because they are so close minded. They're both composed of great developers but the additions that CyanogenMod includes is just too significant to add. Am I saying that you're wrong for believing what you do? No.. you have a opinion, I'm not going to try and beg you to change your mind.

CyanogenMod actually complies from AOSP source whereas Team Whiskey base their ROMs from the OTA. You wouldn't understand this since you don't use a phone that is CyanogenMod supported (don't even start with G1.. that phone is so outdated that it isn't even capable of taking full advantage of CM7).

I'm sure when CM7 stable is released, TW will start basing their releases off CM7. And you know what? It is built on top of CM7... so whos the better team then? I'm not going to go for one particular side because a developer is a developer. They aren't in this to get any accreditation from the community. They just do it as a hobby. Quit thinking that CyanogenMod & TW are like the rivalry between NVIDIA & AMD/ATI.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPhoenix:
Hello. Yesterday I rooted my phone using unrevoked 3 and flashed my phone to CM 6.1 stable and the invisiblek kernal #28. After hours of convincing myself to flash the radio to 11.19, i did. It worked great until later that night i forgot to dial that *22899 to reprogram my phone. I dialed the number the program was successful and i went the bed. I woke up the next morning to find out that i was on an extended network everywhere i go. i redialed that number and got the voice error:

"Message AP 32: Wellcome to U.S Cellular..."

also when i dial a 5 digit number or something it comes up with the us cellular error.

I reflashed it back to 7.28 and got the same error. Does anybody know how i can get back on to verizon's network? i used to be a USCC customer but i thought they deactivated my account.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
Sounds like your epst settings might be messed up. You can get into epst to check by dialing ##778. Select edit, and the password is 000000 (6 zeros). You'll have to search some of the threads here for 'epst' to get some hints on how it should be set.

I am about to put LeeDroid on my HTC Desire but i have a few questions:

Im having:

-HBoot 0.80

-Radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 - Which is the best Radio to use with LeeDroid?

Or can i keep this Radio? Is it better to use a newer Radio?

I want to use LeeDrOiD_2.3d_No_A2SD -

1:How much internal storage will i keep on my Desire?

2:Will i keep my HTC White Keyboard? Will i keep German Keyboard? QWERTZ?

I hope you guys can help me - Couldnt finde information about Radio or Internal Storage in Leedroids thread

bye

erich
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyBravo1000:
The radio is pretty much trial and error. You can try the one you are currently using and see how you go. There is no "best" radio for LeeDroid's ROM.

If you don't use apps2sd+ you will have the standard HTC Desire memory.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Here's how I tested my battery's protection circuit before starting to use it again.

PLEASE NOTE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITH OUT EYE PROTECTION, RUBBER GLOVES, AND A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRICAL PRINCIPLES (do not connect positive to negative!).

I recently disassembled an extended 3500mA battery, and needed to test whether the reassembled battery would still have a working protection circuit.

Once I reassembled the battery I needed to test the functionality of the circuits. I connected a 6v, 1A power supply to the battery using tin foil strips :

The positive from the power supply was connected to the positive of the battery.

The negative of the power supply was connected to the negative of the battery.

The voltmeter was connected across the positive to the negative.

Note the 4.13V reading of the volt meter with the power supply turned off.

This is the tricky part. I needed to be certain the the polarities were as stated. Negative could not be touching positive.

I applied 6 volts to the battery and watched from a distance as the voltage slowly rose to this high value. It only obtained this value once. As I would try again the value would be lower each time.

Suddenly the voltage value would spike to the no load value for the power supply. That indicates that the current limiter chip had cut off the charging to the battery.

This tested the cut off function of the 8205a chip circuit as described in :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10453155&postcount=1

The reason for this post is a verification of the empirical functioning of the battery protection circuit described in the prior thread. Once verified I have started using this battery again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
You probably should have posted this in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=909763

Also, while this shows that the protection circuit does SOMETHING it does not disprove what is being said.

Nor does it have anything to do with the assertion that keeping the battery completely full is just as dangerous as overcharging it, which is also what is being suggested.

More information is always welcome though and I have posted it in the aforementioned thread.

[Desire HD Android Development] guhenry:
MIUI team has just officially released version 1.1.14 dedicate for Desire HD, no more porting from other platform needed. And it supports English, though the screenshot is in Chinese.

some screenshots attached.

more...

2011-02-26 update:

MIUI ROM version 1.2.25 for Desire HD

update: You can find the partial English UI setting instructions here.

But after setting the locale, most of the UI is remaining in Chinese. Need a developer to change the language file to English. The download link for ROM package is listed above.

How to flash

--------------------------------------------

1. Make sure your HBoot is already S-OFF.

2. Have clockwork recovery installed.

3. Copy the zip file to SD card and flash.

Please do a data wipe and cache wipe before flash the zip file. The whole process takes about 5 minutes and after the first Hboot screen, it loads to MIUI themed splash screen quickly.
