Description:

The Baseband Apocalypse

The baseband is the part of your phone that sends and receives broadcast signals. And it turns out that if your phone is on the GSM network, it's pretty damn easy to manipulate the baseband with all kinds of terrible tricks, from setting up fake base stations that will snoop on your conversations or text messages, to secretly sending nasty programs to your phone that could do everything from steal your data to turn your phone into a bug. When you make a call on the GSM network, who is really listening? Possibly everyone but the person you're hoping to talk to.

Although completely unrelated...it gets me wondering if some of these ROM devs are being honest in their development efforts... I'm not accusing ...just gets me thinkin... Does anyone smart enough to find out ever look?

[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I did a few things the other day in SDK, messing around with emulators. Now I can't get adb to work.

I keep getting this:

c:\AndroidSDK>adb

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

This is the exact path I had used in the past, even following the .txt instructions that have worked for me in the past.

Yes in am in debugging, charge only, partition mount showing "unmount /system" like it has in the past. Does this have anything to do with what packages I updated when I was messing with SDK emulator?
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Go into the directory and see if there is a file called adb in there...if it's not check the other folders like tools or something like that i'm at work so i don't know the exact name of the directories...
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
This is a PC error message stating that the file adb.exe is no longer in the AndroidSDK directory. As zervic mentioned, check and see if the file adb.exe is in that directory.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
We're onto something...there is no adb in the AndroidSDK folder. So where do I get this adb? I did the SDK so long ago, like 5 months. Don't remember a thing about it and consider myself lucky that I got it going back then, piecing together youtube videos and several forums.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Just reinstall (or unzip if I remember right) the Android SDK into that directory
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I started the "update all" in the "installed packages" window. If that doesn't fix it, I shall follow your advice.

Edit: The "update all" didn't fix it.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I found the .zip and extracted it to my c:\AndroidSDK folder, but still a nogo. I also tried copying adb.exe straight to the AndroidSDK folder, still a nogo.

Anything else to try?

When I copied adb.exe to the tools folder and tried adb in cmd prompt, I got "This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

Are they telling me to uninstall SDK and start over? Like I said, I was lucky to get it going the first time!

Smack myself in the head while I Edit: Found the AdbWinApi.dll in the zip and copied it to the tools folder. Adb runs now and recognizes my device. Later I will find out if I can rm some stock apps from my wife's new phone.

Thanks for your help in this matter.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Just so you know that may be a little unstable. It may be worth your while to check the "platform-tools" folder and see if adb is in there, i believe that's where it is by default and it also may be worth your while to run adb from that folder instead of where you jerry rigged it to run. But, on the other hand, it may work the way you have it. You never know. Just figured I'd throw that out there.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
While rooting my Nook Color, I came across a recommendation for a free app in the market called

adbWireless

.

It's AWESOME! No need to use USB or worry about drivers, just install the app, push the big huge button and then type the adb command it shows you to connect to your device. Worked absolutely perfectly on my Nook... haven't tried it on my Aria, but next time I need to ADB something on it, you can bet I will!

Hello! I bought the Optimus One in a telecomunications operator's shop (Movistar). In the first splash the LG logo appears (I don't want to remove it), and then, in the second splash, you can see Movistar logo. The second splash is the one that I want to remove. How can I do that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Compgenius999:
You need to use a custom rom, e.g. Prime or Void, those are the two main ROM's for the p500, they both have custom spash screens.

If you want to be fully involved in modding, tweaking your phone, then best way is to:

1.Root with z4root,

2.Install custom recovery,

3.Install any good rom.

By doing above you will have full control of your device, you will learn a lot of new things and can apply them on your phone.

But if you simply want a new boot animation, you can do this:

1.Root via z4root,

2,Install absolute system root application from market or other sources,

3.from absolute system root application you can change your boot animation.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pepito1:
I used Absolute System Root Tools, but it changed the android animation, not Movistar's splash.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] robsbeat1:
Or if you don't want to install a custom rom, you can flash an Original LG Firmware.

Without wifi the device is useless to me.

I can see the networks, just not connect to anything.

I have the latest radio.

It worked on first setup but after restart ive lost the ability to connect.

Somoene mentioned that the MAC address is assigned randomly each time the device restarts which seems very odd.

Does anyone know of a fix for this before I give up and go back to 6.5?

1. NEVER DO A FACTORY RESET AFTER INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM! - Doing a factory reset will unroot your phone leaving a ROM/files installed on your phone that would only survive if the phone was rooted sometimes causing major issues.

2. Check to make sure you still have your IMEI. Use SGS toolbox (free) From the market. If you don't then use search on xda as there is a fix

3. It might be a modem issue. Try another modem from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9724862&postcount=14434 *If you are a bell, fido customer* or use a carrier that runs the 850 band then you should try to follow the instructions I have posted here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10533852&postcount=2525

ok so my GF has a car charger for her blackberry that has the built-in usb port so you can hook up something else. this is great for roadtrips so we can share a charger. my old touchpro2 worked just fine using the usb cable and the charger but for some reason i cant get my D2G to do the same thing. i tried it when i first got the phone (before i hooked it up to my computer) but it didnt work. i was wondering if anyone else is able to do this? is there a certain usb mode i should leave the phone in?

I guess it's radio bricked.. HELP

hi i think i have bricked my radio. I can successfully load into 3 color screen, wipe task29, install HSPL. but fails while flashing radio at 96%. Sometimes goes to 100% but with error. then it says in big black screen with icon "software update failed! Please try again." .. trying to hold down+power button after that step leads to 3 color screen saying "upgrade ROM code error. Please try again".. I have also tried to flash MAGLDR after task29, HSPL and skipping radio(which i know wont work without proper radio) and in top, writing of magldr appers without option to flash.(only top part of mgldr appers){flashing MGLDR was fast without any progress bar on phone. on computer it says flashed successfully}

Is there any way i can make my Hd2 working again? android or stock win or win 7 or 7.5 or anything ..... i had read somewhere that we can install rom removing radio from it which works nicely except wifi/network, etc. is that possible?? i thought further work is useless unless radio is flashed properly..

plz let me know any way to unbrick HD2. I have tried different ways from xda, google, anywere i can find of any possible way but i was unsuccessful. Thanks in advance to any guys who can provide me any solution to fix it.

and ohhh plz let me know if you didnt understand my word above (not so good in english):rolleyes:

+ Also it vibrats 7 times while i power on the device after succesfully flashing task29, hspl. wont shows any error

but after flashing radio (unsuccesfull attempt ofcourse) it wont vibrate but displays icon with msz "software update failed! Please try again."

Edit: ha ha a!!! Sorry Just noticed his account was disabled... Ignore this thread if i am starting something old again.. but i would really appreciate help from anyone out there for solving my problem unless its permanently bricked.

Just a heads up; called MS UK support (18:00GMT) just now and they are not giving out any more live codes for WP7 users - instead you need to call HTC ...

Apparently they are updating the MS KB article to that affect.

It would appear that HTC want the IMEI number before going any further.

Not 100% sure if anyone else is getting this now?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jonny4911:
Yes, there are many reports of this.

I assume however that HTC are probably just checking if the IMEI is a HD7? I doubt they are checking off every IMEI, as you could just claim you've changed your live ID, bought it from eBay? Also the codes only seem to be brand specific?

So get an IMEI and call HTC to get your code?

But, at the moment whilst I love the clean fresh look of WP7 it looks like it could get frustrating pretty quick since there's hardly any settings that look accessible. Probably just because I'm new to it and don't know how to use it to be fair.
