[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AliLaPointe:
Hey guys,

Im taking a trip to Paris in March and had a question. I know our phone works on CDMA technology and therefore may have trouble getting it to work overseas. I wonder what setup I could use to have my phone operate completely on Wifi. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. There are many cafe's with free Wifi where I will be staying. So the question is, how can I make my phone use Wifi for calls and texts while abroad? Any combination of Sipdroid, Google Voice, or any other creative ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Did you consider Skype (works on wifi, support both calling and msg) ? Not sure that will work 100% but is best possible bet that comes to my mind right now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josecash:
Hi,

firstly: sorry for my english...

So, I've got a Xperia x10 mini, I was trying to unlock it (no success, as you can see). Now I'm capable of doing nothing, my xperia just shows a black screen with the sony ericcson logo on it, can't be switched off (even pressing power button and the button in the middle, it just reboot and come back to the logo) when I try to plug it into my laptop by the normal way (meaning that I remove the cable and put again pressing the button with an arrow), in order to reinstall the ROM, my laptop doesn't get it, the only thing I can get right now is that lousy black screen and I don't know what to do.

Any help out there?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
answer : maybe SEUS repair?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josecash:
I've tried so many times but no way
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josecash:
Your link goes to another xperia links, was that your purpose?

I guess the problem is I can't switch the phone off, that's why SEUS don't catch it and repair option is not possible, so if I find a way to power it off, maybe...I don't know...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
The purpose was to point out you're in the wrong section.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josecash:
Ok, sorry.

How can I move it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
the moderator or admin will move it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josecash:
Any good news?

The only thing I can get is I'm in the wrong section?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
yeah, you're in the wrong section.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
The good news is, you can not brick your phone because the bootloader is not cracked yet. You can easily repair your phone using SEUS or PC companion. If that does not wok for you, then you're probably doing something wrong or you have a hardware problem.

The bad news is, yes you are in the wrong section and you will probably not get much replies from the members.

This is probably all the information you will get. Good luck!
[Nook Color General] kalex:
Got a quick question. I have a rooted Nook Color that I want to give to my dad. It has been activated and registered to my BN account and then was rooted. What is the correct way to remove my registration and register it under my Dad's account? Do I need to unroot it, wipe it, register it again and then root it or can i just do all this while my nook is still rooted with current setup?

thanks

Alex
[Nook Color General] VillainousVivi:
From what I can tell, an NC can only be connected to the account it was registered with. You would need to do a wipe/reset, re-register it for your dad, then re-root it.
[Nook Color General] huCarlisle1:
You shouldn't need to unroot it first, but yes, it will have to be rooted again if you need to change the account. The only way to reregister a NOOKcolor is to click "erase and deregister device" under Settings>Device info. But diing that will set it back to factory settings so it should unroot it in the process.
[Nook Color General] kalex:
Perfect. Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if erase and derigster will actually bring it back to unrooted status. Thanks for the explanation
[Desire HD Android Development] Positronizes:
A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to 1.72 using the RUU. I had radio S-OFF but otherwise I lost Clockwork Recovery and ENG HBOOT. My phone is unbranded.

The advice around here seems to be to downgrade, ENG HBOOT again, then re-upgrade. But I didn't really feel like wiping the phone so I tried a few things and managed to root the phone without much hassle in the end. The method is probably dangerous and not failsafe, so I won't be responsible for any damage.

(Sorry if this had been pointed out before)

1. Get the image for Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.2 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841207

2. In the computer's terminal, type, without quotes, "adb push recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-ace-modaco-r2.img /sdcard/recovery.img". This will copy the Clockwork Recovery image on to the SD card.

3. Get psneuter from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003. Follow the instructions on that thread to get adb root shell. (You don't need to push or run misc_version)

4. In the adb shell, make sure that the prompt is #. Type (without quotes) "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/sdcard/recovery_orig.bin" This will backup the current recovery partition.

5. In adb shell again, type (without quotes) "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21". This will install Clockwork Recovery.

6. Get the patched Superuser from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

7. Follow the "Restoring SU" section of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885996 for permroot.

8. (optional, dangerous) If you want to ENG S-OFF for future use, get BusyBox from Market, then follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835746.

(This probably needs radio S-OFF to work, but definitely not ENG S-OFF)
[Desire HD Android Development] M_T_M:
@ Devs....is this pertinent to the Dev section? Please reply via PM only.

@ OP... good day :).

Regards,

M_T_M
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
The title is very misleading. It only works on Radio S-OFF devices, and it is VERY VERY bad for the device. The psneuter shoots the device's property service in the head, so your device will definitely not be happy about it. Starting new processes might make the whole system unstable.
[Desire HD Android Development] Positronizes:
I realise that psneuter will leave the system in an unstable state, but the only process that gets started when the phone is in that state is dd in order to copy over the recovery image. Granted, this could nuke the recovery partition, but there was nothing to lose for me since my recovery was somehow already corrupted prior to starting this.

If all goes well, after dd'ing recovery and reboot the effects of psneuter are reversed anyway, so if I understand everything correctly it's no worse for the device than doing a downgrade using psneuter. If I'm wrong, sorry, and I would very much like to be enlightened :)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Nope, a reboot will unfortunately not fix the property service.. :(

There is no good way to temproot 1.72 yet. And if somebody invents such method, it would still keep people from permrooting their devices because the radio blocks write access. It is the old eMMC problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] Positronizes:
In that case, could one reflash the kernel to restore the service? Or does it need a complete ROM reflash?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I do not really know where the service is, so I cannot confirm it.. But it probably needs a rom reflash, which then removes root again.
[Desire HD Android Development] Positronizes:
Well I could try reflashing boot.img since that doesn't take too much effort. Any way to check whether the service is working properly?
[Desire HD Android Development] M_T_M:
Sorry...thread closed. Non Dev relevant and has become a Q&A thread.

[HD2 General] xandercom:
I am upgrading to the wp7 rom, my radio is 2.8x, I have installed magldr112 via the DFT cab file, device restarts and then hangs on the start up screen.

I know ive read about this here on the forums but cant seem to find the post again.

Could someone help please before I go crazy?!

Cheers :)
[HD2 General] Fenlig:
I had a problem like this and found it was something to do with the PC I was installing it from. I install the whole thing again on another PC and it worked fine.

The 2 main differences with the PC was one was Vista 32bit and the other was 7 64bit.

Not sure if this is relevant at all but I hope it helps.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
I am installing it from my Windows 7 64bit.

Did you find you had the same issue on a 64?
[HD2 General] xandercom:
I've just tried on a 32 bit machine and still the same.

I was using energizer 6.5.x rom and now it hangs on the NRG boot screen.

Getting worried now!
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Any ideas? I've been sat here for nearly an hour trying to resolve this. I cant be the only one surely?
[HD2 General] BrannanD:
Nope, I'm stuck at the same step.

Can re-install MAGLDR112, but it always just re-starts and get stuck at the white htc screen.
[HD2 General] BrannanD:
Actually I'm past that bit...woohoo!

Reset the device back to the loader and installed an updated radio (Radio_2.10.50.19_2.zip) and now it boots into the MAGLDR112.

Give that a go mate.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
yeah i tried that already and didnt work for me, however I did try new hspl3 and now it works :-)

Trying to get wifi working now..
[HD2 General] BrannanD:
My Wifi didn't work until I removed the SD card. Hardly got any free space but it couldn't see the card before I took it out anyway but at least is Wifi working.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
so we cant use wifi if we want mem card?
[HD2 General] Cotulla:
Do you have installed HSPL208?

MAGLDR won't work with HSPL142 or HSPL166 (stop at white screen)
[HD2 General] BrannanD:
I'm not sure. WP7 couldn't see my SD card anyway (look in "about" in settings to see available memory) and I found other posts suggesting removing the SD card will allow Wifi to work.

I'm searching now to see if I can get an SD card that will actually work. Has anyone actually got an SD card working in a WP7 HD2?

MAC-adress

Everytime i reboot my device i get a new MAC-address.

the first 6 chars are still the same 00:18:41:... but the last 6 changes after every reboot. I Think that is the problem why you can't connect to WIFI-network.

(sorry for my bad english)
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Ive tried resetting my router and even reflashed the whole phone to no avail.

Im wondering how I can upgrade to the latest radio version without activesync
[HD2 General] phoenixtraveller:
1. Put your stock rom ruu_signed.nbh on sd card as LEOIMG.nbh (<4gb card)

2. Reflash that by holding vol down - hspl.

3. Reboot and dont got into it - goto new (old) spl.

4). Connect and do HSPL3_PKG.exe, We hacked it. Best to NOW change your drivers to MTTY drivers (first point you can as hspl rapitool doesnt recognize them so change to unsigned drivers now) and connect then do:

task 28 55aa

task 29

task 8 (which is reboot)

YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT OUT WHEN FLASHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER or you end up with fk hd2 with too many bad blocks in nand and screwed partitions.

5.) Now re-do your radio with latest by replacing LEOIMG.nbh with ruu_signed.nbh from radio rar/zip. = ie 2.15 radio and vol-down reboot hspl again.

6) Now replace LEOIMG.nbh with MAGLDR 112 .nbh as LEOIMG.nbh on sd and

YOU ARE DONE.

7) Run dwi.exe and install Windows 7 then do ChevronWP7 hacks/etc and get LIVE.

Before doing dwi.exe PROPERLY: make a fake data.zip with EMPTY (ie: notepad make 0kb .txt files then rename part00.bin, part01.bin, ALL THE WAY TO part07.bin and save these into data.zip (rename real data.zip data.bak or whatever).

Then flash with dwi.exe so this CLEANS OUT PARTITIONS COMPLETELY with ZEROES.
[HD2 General] xandercom:
Thanks for your extensive answer but guess what? Thats right, still no wifi.

It worked on first boot, i was able to sync my contacts, go on facebook etc so must be something that has happened since then or during restarts.
[HD2 General] phoenixtraveller:
You can always HEX-Edit the partitions going to nand for Wp7 and change MAC.

I have (almost completely now) reverse engineered Cotulla and DFT release of Windows Phone 7.

LIVE!
[HD2 General] phoenixtraveller:
Read my other post. Hex edit partitions. Change MAC. It works fine. You couldnt have tried all THAT i said though in THAT amount of TIME though !!!

Anyway -change MAC bro...

then hardreset and do net and LIVE.
[HD2 General] phoenixtraveller:
Nice work on LEO1000 spl simulacrum after magldr - I have almost completely reverse engineered it so can talk to wp7 through it - great job - also using empty part00-part07 .bins (0 kb) to completely CLEAN system out before reflsh-

Have done HD2 task2a then recovered/unbricked using modifications of your spl and stock roms in combo.

Anyway - my question is this - magldr keeps rebooting my droid/wp7 a LOT. Can i use |ro| flag in combo with |wph| prior to wp7 dwi flashing or?

Please help - thankyou.

How do you recommend avoiding bad blocks etc that constantly cause reboot?

Currently ok - on THIS boot - and running LEO70 (upgraded to Schubert) with LIVE!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mk2media:
I know this has been briefly covered elsewhere, but wanted to ask in case any new developments have been made.

I'm running the prj Clean Desire NAND but am sick of the Sense lockscreen. I know I can remove the HTClockscreen.apk file, but it then it apparently kills interaction between my alarms (ability to turn off from lock screen) and also answering calls from lock screen.

Is there any way of just changing the Sense lock screen to a stock "swipe left/right" style, with perhaps icons to show number of missed calls/emails/sms but not actually content of them (sense showing half an unread sms annoys me too).

i guess im sort of after how cookies lock screen was on the windows roms.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] john_duff:
I googlesearched everywhere, and I got the same information as you.

Maybe the solution is to disable sense's sliding lock with a little app and to enable the "drawing" unlock. I'm going to try this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I have been reading this thread with great interest, and then became even more excited when I found out that it was succesfully working on the HeroC. I think I understand most of it, but I am not a dev and I really wanted to check with a seasoned dev wether or not it OK to go ahead and give it a go, or if it obvious that I will totally screw up my phone and I am being and idiot.

I would also be curious to know recommended sizes for the partitions, I am not sure what would be acceptable for system ( I appreciate it depends on the size of the ROM), I can't seem to find the total size for system+cache+data the Hero has.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Thanks, for the link, looks like it works, just the limitation of having to patch the recovery every time you want to flash a new ROM...

I'll have a play, see if I can do it without destroying my Hero :D

EDIT: Am I misunderstanding something, or does the dev need to change the boot.img for this to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
you need matching boot.img AND recovery iirc...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daveybaby:
Interesting, just been reading up on the htc desire rooting/flashing process for a friend, it has a very similar process for switching partitions. I think they've actually gone the whole hog and got a recovery which can switch between 4 different layouts.

It seems to me that with a2sd+ working pretty much seamlessly and thus being in common use these days (for anyone using a custom rom) that having extra internal data space is almost redundant.

Is there likely to be a need to expand the system partition from its default? Just wondering if any of the later sense and/or ICS roms are getting fat enough to need extra space...

Trying to install a Thai font into my new X10i but no luck. Got the fonts in Typefresh, managed to get them into system/fonts, /fonts, sdcard/fonts etc but it cant display them. I have Android 2.1 rooted but I don't get any message to reboot when I mount them. I also make the directories R/W and I reboot anyway according to all the threads I have read. When I check thru Root Explorer the directories are back to R/O. Got me baffled. Can anyone help please?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cebees:
D Kub,

make sure you first change the permission of sdcard\fonts, you should be able to make a backup.

If you find no solution with typeflesh then just use RootExplorer to copy to system\fonts.

Again, make sure you have fix the permission.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xviiivx:
My Evo won't power on at all... no lights on when plugged in, and my PC doesn't see it either. I've tried different USB cables, and I've tried charging from a regular outlet... still nothing. I pulled the battery for about 10 minutes, and still nothing.

It was working perfectly yesterday.. even consistently getting 30+ hours on a charge. I had about 10% battery left when I went to bed.. I plugged in my USB cable before going to bed, and I remember for sure seeing the charge light come on when I plugged it in. When I woke up (late because my phone is my alarm), it was dead.

I have a friend with an Evo, and I'd like to try his battery before taking it in..gonna do that in an hour or so. I just want to do all the troubleshooting I can before taking it in to let some idiot look at it. The phone shouldn't work with the power cord plugged in, but no battery.. right? So would a completely bad battery show the same symptoms I have?

And if it is a bad phone, does anyone have any experience with Radio Shack's warranty? I bought their 1 year warranty when I bought my Evo on launch day. Should I expect to walk out with a new Evo, or should I expect a loaner phone and a wait while they ship off my Evo? Is Radio Shack going to ask or care that it's rooted? Since it doesn't power on, they can't tell in the store.. but if they ask me, I'm not sure if I can lie with a straight face.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
The phone does not work just hooked up to a charger without a battery so it's completely possible that your issue is the battery and it definitely sounds like it.

I don't have any history with Radioshack's warranty but I would suggest trying your friends battery first, if that resolves the issue then when you take it in they will just replace the battery which shouldn't require them to even boot the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xviiivx:
I tried my friend's battery and it worked. Went to Radio Shack and told them what was up, and after a 30 minute phone call, they were able to give me a replacement battery. Problem is, it's not an HTC battery and it's only 1100mAh. I mentioned the difference, and was told that's all they could do for me today and if I'm not happy with the battery I can come back and they'll take care of me. Had the guy not been so nice I probably would have thrown a fit, but either way, I have a working phone now so I'm happy. And unless I misunderstood, I think my 12 month plan got reset for the battery, so if the replacement dies within a year I can get another one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Glad to hear it went well.

I would push getting a stock battery for two reasons:

1) That's 25% smaller and thus your battery life is going to be significantly less.

2) Batteries are not all created equal and it's likely that what they gave you could be a cheapie.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baknblack:
I've been running one of the chinese cheapies for five months. It's a 3500 and it last all day with heavy use. I think I paid 17 dollars for it. The extended seidio I bought for my treo fried in a month.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xviiivx:
The battery they gave me is a Digital Energy brand. It came up for the first time at 54%. 4 hours of moderate use later, it's down to 39%. I'm going to run with it for a week and if I can make it 24 hours on a charge, I don't think I'm going to worry about it. If it can't get through a full day, I'll call and see what Radio Shack can do for me. If they give me any trouble, I'll probably just shell out the money for a good battery and keep this one as a spare.

I'll post an update once I've used this battery long enough to give it a fair review..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Just keep in mind that the battery they gave you is 27% smaller and therefore will very likely not last as long as the stock battery.

My phone did this exact same thing this morning. I even had it plugged in last night and was charging fine. When I awoke my phone was off and would not turn on. After about an hout of trying to get it to charge with no luck. I then borrowed the wifes phone to call sprint. I left the phone plugged in and what do you know as soon as the lady answers the flashing orange light comes on and after a minuit of that a steady orange light. Haven't had any problems before or after this event. But the lady at sprint told me it was the charging port and i would need to take my phone in for a replacement.
