They will remain a standard for some time... but in that time we're supposed to be like those dudes in the commercials; happy and amazed... but that amazement kinda fades away in a couple of months cuz manufacturers fail to implement developers completed and ready software in useful time... i mean those geeks at google work so hard that in some months time they have a new and uptated OS and it has to hit the manufacturers time barrier for being implemented into specific devices (Samsung's case) ... i mean c'mon man when a new OS is released put your hands on it modify it if necesary and put it on the device in a couple of weeks don't make us wait very long for something that's not that complicated to do, they make us feel like that stuff is rocket science when it's NOT! it's really an unecessary wait.
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
I'm an idiot, I had a rooted HTC Sense (2.2) Rom installed and tried to do the over the air update last night, now I can get into recovery but I get the red triangle with an exclamation mark in it. I have, no really, searched and tried a few fixes but I'm not getting anywhere.

HTC Desire

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

I tried the modaco solution but skipped the first two steps and started at 3;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Yes you have indeed acted stupid...

But don't worry. The red triangle with the exclamation is just the standard HTC recovery screen. This is because the OTA update updates bootloader and recovery to the non modified ones, so you are basically back to stock.

If you can boot the system all you need to do is to use unrevoked again. If you cannot boot into system, you need to use a ruu first.
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Thanks very much for your reply, I did backup first within recovery so I guess once I'm rooted again I can restore?
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Any pointers? I can't boot and when I rooted last time I used unrevoked3, could you point me to a thread which could help please?
[Desire General] jim_hardcore:
you just have to look for an ruu.exe wich fits to your phone....
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Okay, I'm being less of a 'tard I think and I'm trying to make a gold card, but ADB lists my phone as offline (when on the red triangle screen) and wont let me invoke the shell. Am I still missing the obvious?
[Desire General] mikep99:
There's many threads on here.

Search for '2.29.405.5'.

I'm assuming that's the rom you're on.
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
That hasn't helped me, I've just got a list of nice custom roms which I can't have until my phone boots

There you go. Download the file, plug in your phone while booted in fastboot and run the .exe file. ;)
[Desire General] mikep99:
3 minutes is not long enough to justify a thorough search!!! :)
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Totally agreed but bear with him. When people believe their device is "bricked" or f***** they tend to panic ;)
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Thank you very much
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Sorry, you're right I should have tried harder but am getting in the neck for not having a working phone - thanks so much for your help, I really do appreciate it.
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Sorry but I'm still stuck, the RUU won't work in Windows 7 which my PC runs and when I use Parallels on my Mac (the only XP machine I have) it won't detect the phone - is there a way I can do this under OSX?
[Desire General] mikep99:
you need to put your phone into fastboot - power and back button, then connect it to your PC.

turn off any antivirus/firewalls as these can interfere with the RUU.

also, install HTC sync if it isnt already :)

HTH
[Desire General] mikep99:
also, can you confirm which ROM you were on before the OTA?

and which RUU you are using?
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
Thanks, forgot about HTC Sync so installing it now - I was on this ROM;

I was missing HTCSync, updating now in Parallels, thanks again for the help - feel like a retard this evening.
[Desire General] mikep99:
ok, do you know what the original rom was that was on your phone when new?

sorry for so many questions, but it should help sort it out.
[Desire General] mikep99:
ignore my last post then :)

glad its getting sorted....
[Desire General] SgtBeano:
My phone lives again, thanks again for all your help - awesome forum, cracking community - will try to not be such a tard in the future.

Good news! Happy to have been of assistance :)

Ps - keep that RUU safe so if its needed again in the future, you've got it to hand :)
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
Several of my books have exhibited different behavior using the stock reader as well as the PC reader. The first issue was a non B&N (Borders)ePub book that the margins were not adjustable. The text was displayed with 3/4 inch margins at the narrowest margin setting. The next was a B&N ePub (A Course In Miracles) that would not change font size & the default was pretty small. When I posted that on the B&N site the B&N rep (Michael-V) that monitors that site asked me for the name of the pub., but he never followed up with any comments! Last night I noticed a new B&N ePub book (100 Quotes to make you think) I think it was free, would not change the text to white in "Night Mode". Text was black. Oh wait, just tried all of the settings & when I went to "Mocha" the text was white & now the "night" setting shows white text. I had switched back and forth from "Normal", "Gray", "Normal" & back to "Night" several times without seeing white text. It wasn't until just now when I tried "Mocha" that it started working properly??? Anyway, the original issues remain unchanged & B&N doesn't seem to care/know what to do. The font size problem is the one that concerns me most, as in some cases the default font is very small &, after all, the ability to change fonts is an advertised Nook feature. BTW the inability to change font size was evident on the Nook, Nook Color & the Nook PC app. Haven't tried Aldiko or any other reader apk. Do the ePubs have to reside on the SD card for Aldiko to see them?

OH, WAIT A SEC!!!! Just noticed that I was tricked. The "Mocha" setting was not working properly & neither is the "Night" mode. I "Night" & "Mocha" the introduction to this book (100 Quotes) Page 3 & 4, was in white & then switches to black for the rest of the book. In "normal" or the other settings, all of the text is black! Pretty weird!!

Cheers,

[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
I think your over analyizing.....im a flash junkie and I've flashed everything on the forums....I don't use my phone for business so almost every rom I use has everything I need functional...haptic feedback is not a reason for me not to use a rom but camera is.....along with flashing roms I mix matched different kernels and modems.....its all preference.....with the modem situation I just flash one and test it out until I have an issue then move onto the next...I thought jk4 was the best for me until I decided to try jk3. I've noticed I get reception in areas where I didn't with jk4....so ill test this one out for awhile....you can't sit and read until u read that u found the best......u just have to test it out for yourself...it sucks but that's what u get. I feel things wont get better for us until we get our official froyo release by att. Well have our noise cancellation chip working as well as a modem built for att usa. I had better cell service with captivate roms n modems then I do with i9000 ones but the i9000 roms are leagues ahead of any captivate ones
[Captivate General] Dungeon47:
Did you try Serendipity? It seems to do quite well on every item in your list.
[Captivate General] tysj:
People also have to remember that only a leaked/unfinished Captivate 2.2 ROM has been made available as a base for some ROMs so there's no other choice for a complete Froyo ROM without resorting to i9000 ROMs. Expecting things to work from a unfinished leak is a bit different from having high standards.

GPS is also broken for some people whether they're on a stock ROM or not to begin with, devs can't magically make it work for everyone.

Cell reception is not 100% determined by a ROM, if I flash the "most amazing bestestst rom ever" and live in a remote forest with lead leaves, reception might just suck a little because it mainly depends on location.

No phone is the same believe it or not, maybe unless it's an iPhone. If you want something that works as it should perfectly, you probably shouldn't be flashing ROMs, because they are essentially in infinite beta until a dev doesn't want to work on it anymore. Either stick to the stock ROM, get an Aria or some other unlocked phone, or even an iPhone since that's probably most stable thing out there right now.

The ROM threads grow dozens of pages every hour, and posts will always get overlooked whether they are important or not. It still amazes me that people get confused when they start seeing an H instead of 3G. This is a development community and has several thousands and thousands of users at any given time. It is busy.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
For the American SGS phones, I was not trying to suggest that the developers can "fix" the GPS (though it is worth noting that Da_G has made some good progress http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881941).

I don't completely disagree with many of your points, which is why I am still running the stock ROM. If I had two phones, I would be willing to beta test unfinished software and ROMs, but since I only have 1 phone that I expect to work (or more accurately, my company who pays for it expects it to work) I have not flashed any of the current firmwares that are available.

I think cell reception has a lot more to do with the Radio/Modem than the ROM. If you have a working modem and that modem functions with the ROM, then it should give you the same reception. I think one of the main points the OP was making was that there is no apparent consistency, and some modems work with some ROMs, and not with others. It does not even seem to be accurate to say that any i9000 modem will work with any i9000 ROM, as some combinations cause poor voice quality or other issues.

I do disagree with your statement that "no phone is the same." Any Captivate in the same batch/build should have identical hardware and should function identically (assuming Samsung has good quality controls in place). There is the potential for slight differences between batches, but I can't believe that any of those differences is significant enough to cause software running on the phones to behave differently. If that is the case, there is no way that Samsung can release a working Froyo build, or even a working Eclair build that would function as intended on every captivate. If Samsung was unable to produce identical products consistently, they would be out of business because none of their products would function as intended consistently.

As far as "expecting things to work from a unfinished leak is a bit different from having high standards," I don't think it is unreasonable for better visibility to what works and what does not work in the first page of a ROM thread. I am not saying that I expect everything to work 100% on all ROMs, especially without 2.2 sources, and I am not saying I expect the devs to be able to test every possible things, but I don't think it is unreasonable to hope that as bugs or problems or ROM/Kernel/Modem combinations that do not work are discovered, that information could be made more accessible without reading 100 pages of a ROM thread.

Hopefully most of this is just growing pains as Android is evolving and as we wait for 2.2 sources for the Captivate. For Windows Mobile, much of the OS and functionality of the OS was pretty much set between ROMs. The biggest differences were in the frameworks (Sense vs. Non-Sense, etc) and theming of the ROMs. That is why I have said in the past that if we could get a solid, working AOSP ROM with all drivers, etc for the SGS, it would give a good base for additional ROM development.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slixzen:
I have been wanting to have a AOSP/Vanilla type lockscreen on my HTC for some time now.

In the process of doing this, I have tried alternatives:

WidgetLocker

The MOD listed here

Neither have worked. WidgetLocker works half of the time, and then the other half doesn't show up as the primary locker. I have set the Root 5 second override option, but that appears todo nothing.

As far as the mod, if just causes my phone to forceclose and I can't do ANYTHING when I turn it on.

How would I go about just editing the lockscreen through adb? Doing it correctly, and not causing force-close, after force-close.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
If your talking about the cyanogen or froyo lock screen and your on sense I know you can go into root explorer and delete the HTC lockscreen apk if the rom is deodexed and you'll get the normal froyo lock screen that's what I did on nfinites froyo sense rom and it worked fine
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slixzen:
The ROM isn't deodexed. It is the stock Sprint ROM without any updates.

I may look into other rom's in the future, but for now, I just want to work on this with the stock rom.

Even though it may not be deodexed, where is HTC's lockscreen files located?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
I'm not sure if it will work on stock I just know that work on any deodexed sense rom
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slixzen:
I am not quite sure how you did that.

It doesn't work on Stock, or a Deodexed rom.

If I use ADB, Astro, or ES File Explorer.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Yes it does if you go to root explorer system apps and delete HTC lockscreen it'll go to the normal one at least that's how it was on the froyo sense rom so do it at your own risk your on stock
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
Hi All,

I have a HTC HD2 TMobile USA. I'm experimenting some issues when rebooting the phone.

The phone works fine but when I reboot it, it stucks (lots of time) in the bootloader screen. Sometimes, after rebooting several times it works. Other times, I have to hard reset and then it works again.

I tried the following and it didn't fix the problem:

* Flash new radio (now 2.15.50.14)

* Flash new ROM (now last Energy with build 29xxx)

Any thought around this issue?

Thanks,

Pipaman
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
Please help with this issue.

If you need any clarification just ask me but the issue really exist and I cannot send the phone to the service because I'm in a different country.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
If I was you I would firstly Reinstall your T-Mobile stock ROM follow by a Hard reset and than reinstalling a Custom ROM follow by a Hard reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
I don't get in what way that is different to restore the TMobile original ROM. I did that several times before installing a new ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
I did that:

* I flahed a stock rom: Now I'm back to stick together screen.

It was working fine until I reboot after a couple of days. Then, it doesn't start again: stuck in 'Stick together' screen.

It's very weird because if I hard reset the phone it works again but it's impossible to live with a phone that cannot be restarted.

I tried changing the SD card to see if that was the problem and the same: after some time using the phone I cannot restart it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abufaris:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
I tried that but the same. After using sometime the phone it doesn't reboot again. I tried everything here, I'm near to throw it to the wall :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Just a question, do you have good battery connection? are the pins in normal state?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
Thank you for your answer.

Yes, all the battery pins are fine. To clarify this point: if I hard reset the phone it works fine until I use it normally. I mean, if I reboot the phone after hard reset it reboots perfect.

However, if I start using it installing any stuff, set-up facebook profile or email accounts, the phone works fine until I reboot it.

Now, I'm using a stock ROM:

TMOUS_3.14.531.1

Radio 2.15.50.14_2

I tried different ROMs and different Radios and it's exactly the same: after using a couple of days if I reboot it, it will stay in the bootloader forever until I hard reset it again.

I found that if I don't configure facebook profile the phone lasts more :) but it's very weird and annoying.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikikuku:
Hey i got the same problem as you did. It's behavior is erratically. Given the fact that the phone is out of the box. :mad:. dude i didn't mod. I feel uncertain using such device when it can go back to "stick together screen" at anything. If i were you, I would just send the device for replacement. That's the reason why people buy iphone. I can see there are tremendous info flowing around here, but ppl seems too busy with developing, no one seems to care about troubleshooting.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
Good to hear that I'm not alone with this issue. Unfortunately, I've bought the phone in the US in a trip and I'm in Argentina now so replacement is not a possibility :(

I understand now why people buy iPhone even. My problem is that I like to hear FM Radio and in my country the best GPS maps are for Garmin that has WM support.

For me this phone was exactly what I wanted. Of course, if it works!

At this point I tried everything: different Radios, different ROMs, not installing anything, etc. but it always happen again.

Now, I try not to reset the phone and I'm very careful to charge it everyday! It looks like I bought a tamagotchi.

I'm using SPL 2.8 but the same issue was happening with the default bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
I am just a bit confused, you say you have SPL 2.08(.0000 or .HSPL) and a 3.14 TMOUS ROM.

If that is the case then the RAM would be very low and possibly running Facebook would freeze it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipaman:
I'm using:

SPL 2.8 (I cannot verify exactly the version because I don't want to reboot the phone :) )

OS Version: 21913.5.0.94

Manila: 2.5.20181424.0

ROM: 3.14.531.1

Radio: 2.15.50.14

Protocol: 15.42.50.11U

I identified that Facebook was generating some lack of stability so I don't use it at all, not even to show the photos in the contacts.

I tried to use different ROMs but the stuck at bootloader was the same and I got some problems when the phone became locked: I was unable to unlock it so I had to reboot and guess what happened in the bootloader :( (I tried Energy ROM with both OS versions, I tried also Task29 before flashing)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmodify:
BINGO. your absolutely right about that.

Issues with hanging and rebooting have been popular and if you try sd card ROM installation and "RSA radio fail" comes out while flashing then its probably a hardware problem and theory is that it is from heat so advice, get a replacement. I think there is a batch of hd2 phones that have faulty manufacturing
[Wildfire General] spudro:
Sup guys,

I bought a Wildfire running Android 2.2 with a Vodafone branding.

Now I tried to debrand it and I'm just stuck at a problem.

(btw. I hope I'm posting in the right forums section.)

I've read several tutorials on how to debrand the phone (you can find one on the broadbandgenie site for example, I'm not allowed to post links right now).

Using the goldcard tool and following all the steps I get the same error over and over again after creating the goldcard.img and trying to "patch MMC" with the tool:

"An error occured Object reference not set to and instance of a object."

Creating a gold card manually using a hex editor doesn't work either, I get an error when trying to install the original unbranded ROM (RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe).

So far I've tried creating a goldcard with 3 different memory cards:

The included 2GB microSD by Samsung, a 1GB microSD by Nokia and a 16GB microSDHC by Sandisk.

Formatted them using the phone and the PC card reader, also tried copying the CID manually from the "/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid" file and reversing it on this site hexrev.soaa.me; then creating a goldcard.img on revskills.

Either I really have a lot of bad luck or I'm just doing something wrong.

However, I have no clue where my mistake might be. All I want is a clean unbranded phone ;_;

Now that I have Froyo I can't use the Unrevoked3 tool to root it and get rid of the branding that way so I guess there's no option to avoid a goldcard.

I really hope you guys have an idea what to do?
[Wildfire General] spudro:
