[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkam84:
This is my first time rooting my phone and I managed to USB brick it (SD and carrier work). I've read many threads on how to fix a USB-brick Desire but I still haven't managed to fix mine. Here's what I've done:

I ran the latest Unrevoked3, which gave me root and put Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 on the phone. I tried to go into this and run a backup but the backup failed. From my research I think this is because it's a PVT4 phone or possibly because it has HBOOT 0.93, i.e. it is a brand new Desire.

I tried to run Unrevoked again with a custom IMG which was a newer Clockworkmod, 3.0.0.5. This didn't work, when it rebooted it stayed on the fastboot screen, I eventually got through it but I was still on Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. I cancelled out of this, after that booted and all seems fine except that USB doesn't work.

I tried following two different guides to unbricking USB, the first involved putting a special updates.zip on and applying it from recovery mode. This didn't work, I don't know why but my guess is that Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 can't correctly apply the update onto the phone.

So far I have been unable to get adb/fastboot to work from my Linux machine, with adb running, running "adb devices" does not show it even when it's plugged in and has USB debugging on and everything. I also tried rebooting into the fastboot screen and "adb devices" still returns nothing.

I'd like (1) to get my USB back and (2) to replace Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with something that actually works, so that I can run a nandroid backup and eventually try other ROMs. However I'm not sure how to do this since I can't use Unrevoked and I can't seem to get fastboot to work either (am I correct in thinking that fastboot has to run over USB? or can I type fastboot commands directly into the phone?). I do seem to have root, if that makes things any easier. I'm stuck on the stock 2.2 OS.

Any help greatly appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
If you want to use fastboot you need to actually use it, so not "adb" but "fastboot". Also try to follow the modaco guide on fixing usb brick.

After Rooting with OneClickroot 2.5.5 and thats it how do i use phoenix kernel because it says remove joeykrims root. but how do i know i have it.

Can i just throw the zip in my SD Card and apply it but before wipe data????
[General Questions and Answers] refthemc:
Yes most of all the time you can flash kernels through CW without wiping anything.

I used titanium backup to backup the new Swipe before removing it. I went to restore it and there is a checkbox next to the item, instead of the other logo. Basically the restore feature is grayed out for most items I backed up? I went to the directory the backup uses and there is a compressed file for swipe. If I open it, I see some data, but no apk file.

Question 1st is how do I find the apk to restore this?

Question 2 is why can't I restore all backed up files via titanium (paid version)? Scares me to think I was safe using this product.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
Use astro and hit the search button. Type swype with no spaces and search. You might find the apk that way.
[EVO 4G General] schmoof:
Well I just discovered something strange with most Apps backed up with titanium. If I click on a file that I backed up (say swipe from last update) and uninstalled via titanium, and I get a message that data was backed up, and but no apk present. Sure enough, if I click on the archived swipe file, I see a data file and folder and no apk. Why would titanium backup some files completely and partially with others?

Also, without doing a nand restore, which I really don't want to start from square one, how can I get the swipe apk from the last OTA? SwiftKey has been unreliable since their past two updates?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Pull the APK from a stock rooted ROM's zip file.

TB usually won't backup /system apps because, y'know, they're in the non-writable system partition. Normally, they're still there, and normally, you don't mess with stuff in /system, nor should you copy stuff over from one ROM to another if it's a system app.

Ok so I was look at the Features of BBM(BlackBerry Messenger) and was wondering if google would ever try to evolve GTalk to that point I would LOVE to see something like BBM stock on all Android phones. I dont want app that can be found on the Market cause then not everyone with android would have it. I would LOVE to see Google Evolve GTalk which is already on all Android Device and make it to the point where its just like BBM or better since Google Seems to see a idea match it and then improve on it double fold.

This is a link to BBM description and videos so you can see what i mean.

http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/blackberrymessenger/

PLEASE if you think this is a good idea please contact google to show them that this is something other people want too hopefully with adding features like this to android people wont question if they should move between android and other OS's :D

and if i posted this on the wrong area please move

Funniest bug I've read about in a long time. I think you're using the old ROM cotulla released together with Magldr, and I don't think it has been updated ever since which means bugs like those couldn't have gotten ironed out.

Just try another one and it should be fixed, if not, follow mattfmartin's advice. Every excuse is a valid one to move to an exotic climate!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
This really leaves me puzzled....

Change your phone language to English, and then write down the exact error message. If you use the native English text, you have more chance of having success with Google.

I'm really sorry, but that's all the help I can give you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] razvan33sud:
The phone is set to native english,and the message is exactly:"unable to use flash due to cold weather"... even if I use camera flash to make a picture or torch to use flashlight!I tried to make a google search but I've find a single post with a few answers but not on subject!thank you very much for your interest !!

I guess with -20 It will be very hard to have that phone out in the open.

(Brasov this time of year, will hit that temp for sure).

Be aware that you are using something that depends on a certain safe 'usage' temperature.

I'd rather keep that phone in my pocket when it gets THAT cold ;)

Sorry buddy, I have no solution for this, as this is something i've never heard of.

If disabling "my location" makes it work, what's wrong with just turning that off for good?

Settings, Location & security, and turn off "Use wireless networks" and "Use GSP satellites".

I personally never have either of them enabled because of the fact they're such big battery drains.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cobraje:
I solved the problem by uninstalling "quick settings" app. I used flash battery from quick settings once and that probably caused the problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwchips:
The 'problem' isn't caused by any apps or bugs, its a fail-safe feature. Cold weather affects battery performance, and using flash is battery intensive. Once the phone gets to a certain temp (zero degrees celsius I believe) the phone will disable flash. Confirmed for desire builds.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] katalin_2003:
I got this problem since yesterday and the reason for the message is indeed because the center battery pin was bent.

Check that if you get the Unable to use flash due to cold weather message!

[Nexus One General] bambamboom:
Hey guys,

With All this Warranty talk, the people who unlocked your bootloader. Do you regret it? Was the warranty worth sacrificing for custom roms? I want to unlock it but at the same time I keep getting these paranoid thoughts that I'm gonna need the warranty later on. WTF. Any help?
[Nexus One General] Atento:
You can install custom roms without unlock bootloader. I have evil nxsense rom installed in my N1 without unlock my bootloader.
[Nexus One General] habs25:
HTC honors the warranty even with the bootloader unlocked; I can't say that I've needed to make a claim myself, but that's the consensus from majority of members on this board. So, my advice is just go for it.

I had the same doubts as you, but you won't regret it
[Nexus One General] Dan2552:
Agree with this. Although I've never had to make a claim either.
[Nexus One General] Know-Fear:
I unlocked mine as soon as I pulled it from the box back in January 2010. I have had no regrets about it at all. I have never needed warranty service, though I wouldn't hesitate to call HTC for a hardware related issue. If something went horribly wrong with a ROM flash or a radio upgrade, that would be my own fault and I would look into buying a new phone. But I wouldn't try to BS HTC to make them pay for my screw-up.
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
I have made two claims with my unlocked bootloader. Each has been hassle free and quick. Oh, and cost me nothing.

First, a few months ago for dust under the screen, repaired and sent back in 4 days.

Second, which was last week for power button issues. They received, repaired, and shipped back in one day. I got it back the next.

HTC is quietly brilliant.
[Nexus One General] bambamboom:
thanks guys! i may actually unlock the baseband than.

is unlocking the baseband more beneficial than just doing a root without unlocking?

btw, so you guys think its better to safer to send it in and get it repaired if you have a unlocked baseband than the riskier "swap" (when they send u a new one and you send your old one in) method?
[Nexus One General] IpodLover77:
hey, did they send it back to you with a locked bootloader?
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
First time they relocked it.

Second time, they left it unlocked.
[Nexus One General] bohlool:
ROOT is fine

I don't see any point in unlocking boot loader while you can root the phone and do whatever you want. the only thing you can't directly do is to flash a partition usion bootloader commands but you still can do it if you use "flash_img" command in ClockworkMod Recovery (on the adb shell). I install different roms and I am on CM7 now.
[Nexus One General] arminsoyka:
I unlocked mine without wanting to. I flashed modaco rom and it just unlocked my boot loader. but there is supposed to be a way of locking it again. it's somewhere on xda...
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Yeah, I like posters that don't know what they post.

1) No ROM can unlock the bootloader. User has to do it and the system has to ask for permission.

2) Once unlocked, it can't be locked, only by HTC.

To the OP: I've unlocked my bootloader long before "non-unlocking" way has been found. Never cared for it since, didn't need the warranty, and it's going to expire soon anyway.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yes mine unlocked, and I have no reason to regret it, as my phone is a freak that can be locked again.

Worth doing in my opinion, and even if I couldn't lock it again, I still wouldn't regret it.
[Nexus One General] andynx1:
Mine is locked, but there are 2 goods reasons to unlock the bootloader:

1. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you always have a rooted phone. The next ota won't relock it.

2. You have more options to fix a potentially bricked phone.

I'm thinking about doing it for these reasons, plus it seems like HTC still honour the warranty.
[Nexus One General] Pommes_Schranke:
I unlocked my bootloader because the warranty was gone anyway. Put the nexus into the washing mashine :D. Somehow it survived (Bluetooth, radio and camera gone). It actually was pretty tough. after about 10minutes in the mashine (60°C) the screen was still having fun inside the mashine.
[Nexus One General] bohlool:
1. Well, if you wanna update ota, you don't have reason to root your phone in the first place.

2. what more options exactly you have? simple, do not mess with HBOOT and Recovery partitions, and ur safe.

My opinion, use oneclickroot and don't risk it, cause HTC support behave deferentially now!
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about.

Read my previous post, HTC has the best customer support & service I have ever received.

I use both generic - that I purchased separately - and HTC - the one included in the package - cables on my Desire Z and see no difference (except the price if I had bought an HTC cable :D).

I did the same with my HD2 and it worked nice too.

The only difference that you could have is that some generic cables only charge and cannot sync (mine does both).

Yup, any industry standard micro-USB cable will work just fine. You can usually find one of the Blackberry ones for a couple bucks...

Sometimes you can find the information in the specifications.

what size is the pic?

ideally you want it to be 960x800 if not just resize it in photoshop or similar
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
Like Richy said, you'll have to resize. Due to the way Android scrolls the wallpaper left & right as you switch screens, it keeps the same aspect ratio within the current boundaries of your selected image. If you want that exact wallpaper, you'll have to resize the pic, and end up with that full pic in the middle, with something on either side to make up the difference, like a plain color. Or, try to find that wallpaper already made for Android.
