My goal was to share the situation in case others had similar experiences, and troubleshoot.

Yes, obviously I can call T-Mobile and say "awww shucks my thingy don't work"... genius! :)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
it may not be the same issue exactly but you may wanna search for the blurry MMS thread and ask in there quite possibly because that thread kinda branched off into different issues regarding sms/mms
[Nexus S General] moosebert:
Good idea. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] lf2k5:
This sounds strangely reminiscent of an issue I get here...

I'm on VodafoneUK and MMS works just fine - however if I MMS the missus on O2 the message may or may not get there, or there might be an 18 hr lag... It's not the most reliable thing in the world!

This isn't a Nexus thing, it's a network thing...

I suspect that if you kept all of your MMS activity to people also on TMo you wouldn't have a problem - it's when the different networks talk to each other things go screwy...

I still remember the "good" old days when you couldn't even send text messages between the different networks in the UK!:o
[Nexus S General] nyijedi:
For what it's worth, I had intermittent problems both sending and receiving MMS messages. Sometimes it would work, and other times it wouldn't. I've switched to using Handcent instead of the stock messaging app, and MMS has been working 100% perfectly since doing so. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it is. At least for me.
[Nexus S General] atlp99:
Are you experiencing the issue when you send messages to someone else on T-Mobile or is it just happening with your wife on ATT?

It is not unheard of for MMS messages to have problems between carriers. I personally have seen more issues with ATT than any other carrier (I have worked with ATT, Verizon, Sprint, and currently work for T-Mobile).

If you are both using smartphones (iPhone and Nexus S)you will get better quality pictures if you send them as email and not MMS since that avoids the picture resolution being reduced to the file size for MMS. I believe that the current T-Mobile setting is 1000 Kb for MMS messages.
[Nexus S General] moosebert:
Well now this is odd. Was just sent a MMS from someone on AT&T and nothing showed up in the messaging app, yet the Missed Reminder app says I have an unread MMS!

I have cleared all data from messaging before for the sake of it.

This is driving me mental!

Not carrier but Android? Sending and receiving MMS works fine with T-Mobile users.
[Nexus S General] moosebert:
Handcent exibits the same behavior.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
Hey all,

I would like to know, what I might have done wrong in the rooting process. I used

This Tutorial hxxp://g2hacks.com/g2-hacks/how-to-root-g2-phone/

I made it to step #18 and was stopped by this error:

/data/local/tmp/root: data/local/tmp/busybox: not found

/data/local/tmp/root: data/local/tmp/busybox: not found

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: No such file or directory

/data/local/tmp/root: /system/xbin/busybox: not found

cp: not found
cp: not found

Ideas?

Thanks,

Danny
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
Here is a screenshot of what I pushed to the phone:

hxxp://i.imgur.com/No1id.jpg
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
You have a typo in your push command for busybox (you renamed it to root instead, which then got overwritten when you pushed root). Just push busybox again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
How do I back out and enter that push command again?

What would I type?

I'm a total novice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
On your comp, just type the command again:

adb push G2TempRoot/busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

Then on your phone, in Terminal, just run the root command again:

/data/local/tmp/root

It should complete this time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
I made a mess. Check it:

hxxp://i.imgur.com/y3NRW.jpg
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
You are still in the adb shell (basically creates a terminal on your phone that you can interact with on your computer).

Type "exit" to leave the shell. This will return you to the regular command prompt (instead of the $). Then try the push command again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
So now the phone terminal gives me this:

/data/local/tmp/busybox: permission denied
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Oh sorry, forgot you needed to set permissions on the file. Run this command again from your computer:

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

Then it should all work fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
The errors are getting shorter:D

Now I get this:

mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
This error doesn't matter (it's really more of a warning in this case) and is actually expected.

You should actually be rooted if you didn't see anything else.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
AND I'M ROOTED... THANK YOU!

I'm new to Android from iOS. Any ROMS you would recommend?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Congrats! And there are a few threads about this that you can read through (just search for them). If you like HTC Sense (the interface HTC adds to a lot of their phones---basically lots nice visuals and extra polish to things), you can try Virtuous. If you like the stock look that the G2 comes with, there is a stock DEODEX rom out there. By de-odexing the rom, you can do things like customize the framework (e.g., customize the status bar icons/colors or add a battery percentage to it). Lots of people here (myself included), use CyanogenMod. It's close to stock but with lots of tweaks/extras (it's based on the Android Open Source Project or AOSP). It's also nice because it has frequent updates and constant development (they recently started pushing test builds that are based on Gingerbread---the new Android update only available on Nexus S).

Now that you are rooted though, it's easy enough to install Rom Manager and test them all out. Be sure to create a backup first as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Danny.B:
ROM Manager installed. I'm backed up.

Thanks again for your help.

i cant flash the engineering hboot keep getting error md5sum : not found Verification of hboot-eng.img failed i re-download the files, re-extracted them to my SD card, and ran the flash_hboot script 3x still nothing plz help but im rooted and backed up
[G2 and Desire Z General] mohitanfield:
Did not want to create a new thread so I'm posting it here.

First off, I haven't tried rooting any of my phones previously so I'm obviously making a mistake somewhere.Hope someone here can help me out.

I installed visionary+ r14 but it just blacked out the screen with a heading.I've read elsewhere that it has all to do with the new firmware updates.My update for the DZ seems to be country a specific one and came out a couple of weeks back.

Anyway,

I tried this visionary method a few times but the phone just hung and I had to go to the homescreen and uninstall Visionary and reboot to get the phone to run smoothly again.

Then I read another way of rooting the thing and it took me here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2

After a couple of tries I was able to push the files to the DZ but got stuck at this command:

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

The error it gives me is:

Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/sqlite3: operation not permitted

Strange thing is, yesterday at the same point it gave me the same error but it was 'busybox' instead of sqlite3 and right before that it was something else.Which should mean that those earlier commands were run successfully by the terminal.

P.S. Debugging mode is on.Visionary is uninstalled. followed all the steps mentioned in the guide.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mohitanfield:
Okay.So I format the phone memory and I'm now able to move a few steps ahead.

But as soon as it seems that everything is going well, the terminal emulator refuses to open at this step:

"Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell "

waited a while and there is only a blank screen showing up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
It looks like you are trying to root a DZ with a firmeware version >= 1.72.

If yes to have to downgrade it to 1.34 first.

See either the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261 or the more comprehensive at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting

But if your CID is other then the ones stated in the the first thread you need a goldcard to downgrade first, which is also described in the first thread.

have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z General] mohitanfield:
Thanks a lot for your reply and as is the case, my phones CID is HTC_38 which does not seem to be downgradable without a gold card.

I read the procedure and although its well explained, it will take a bit of time.

Will try it sometime soon hopefully, although I wish someone would just make a simple rooting app for the newer versions!

:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
It took us month without sleep to create the existing rooting tools. So I do not see any simple rooting tools on the horizon :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mohitanfield:
:(

Followed the second guide (the cynogen mod one that was linked to above)

Everything went well till this step:

"Follow the on screen directions, on the HTC Desire Z, on flashing the 1.34.707.3 firmware. "

I loaded the zip file of the image and the bootloader started checking it and as soon as it appeared to finish it said "failed" "Wrong CID".

What am I doing wrong now?Followed all the steps as mentioned there.:confused:

EDIT:

Sorry!Did not get a gold card before starting the downgrade process. Will do so now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mohitanfield:
Really appreciate the work that you guys are doing.Doubt anyone could ask for more.:)
[Nook Color General] hawaiianhopper:
Woohoo!!! Thanks to new kernel by Dalingrin, I'm running at 1.1GHz.

Just scored my best Quadrant score to date: 2015

This is on Froyo 5.9, running off of emmc!!!

Was stoked and had to tell someone. Since I have no posts, it wouldn't let me post in dev forum. So here is my first post......

Cheers!
[Nook Color General] samurai1200:
2015?! that's insane. i must try this...
[Nook Color General] urbanengine1:
Whoa and to think the galaxy tab only gets 1050...

Shows how nuch the nook kicks @ss :p
[Nook Color General] eunkipark92:
50mhz more.....lollllllllll
[Nook Color General] drvenom123:
I just installed the same kernel today and my NC is way faster. I don't know where to look for the quadrant info, but my pdf's are being rendered instantaneously. I was planning on returning my NC because pdf reading was a pain, but it works perfect now...
[Nook Color General] cbpagent72:
Yeah but try it on a real benchmark like smartbench and I bet it starts looking more realistic.
[Nook Color General] urbanengine1:
Huh? The tab gets around 1000 less
[Nook Color General] MACLUIS1:
Could you give a brief explantion of how to do this?. I've only tried the autonoter so far.

Sent from my rooted Nook Color
[Nook Color General] zhiheng:
That's exciting, how's the battery life, by the way?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I installed the same kernel on Eclair and got ~1200. I've been running back to back benchmarks now and have gotten 1050, 972, 923, then 1211... Strange
[Nook Color General] shatteredeagle:
Sure you didn't fat finger that 2?
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
If he is running Froyo, no. Froyo easily sees a 300-500 point boost over eclair, because of the improved JIT compilier that is in Froyo.
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
Is it stable though? And still undervolted?

Anyways, gTablet with most custom fw gets c. 2400-2500 but can hit 3200+ with some additional mods... still just a synthetic benchmark though...
[Nook Color General] cruud:
Can you post a guide to installing? I can get it to work right. emmc is way faster, scoring 1478 at 800 right now.
[Nook Color General] chrisngrod:
2006 is the highest I can get....

I tried it about 10 times lol...

Sorry about the URL. Using this picture elsewhere. Ever since getting out of the military and the soon to be ex wife turning off my Sprint phone, I've been flashing a lot of Android devices.
[Nook Color General] hawaiianhopper:
I was about to post a pic, but because I don't have enough posts to link outside, so I can't....

I got 2013 yesterday when I tried to take a screen cap.

It doesn't always get that high. Just every so often it does. Can't explain the differences.

Steps:

Followed original eemc thread in the "general" forum (not one from dev forum).

Got that working correctly.

then mount /boot and copy uImage over old one. reboot and presto!
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
What's amazing I'm running customized nookie 59 with the 1100 kernel on a class 4 8GB card. I'm getting the same speed as with the standard 59 image installed on the emmc.

edit; The pic is a little fuzzy, 2048 was my best score with setcpu set to performance. In conservative I seem to be around the 2020 ball park.

Beats the hell out of me. I would have never of thought it if I had not seen it with my own eyes.

I included the lock screen picture to prove it was the customized froyo, I don't think there is an img file of it that can be installed...yet.

[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
yes, quadrant scores database r/w pretty heavily and stock galaxy s and tabs are pretty bad there.

they're getting scores around 2900 on the archos gen 8's with ext4. it's with a oc to 1280 also. the biggest boost is b/c of the db r/w. at stock (1ghz) i think they were scoring 2400.
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
I thought I read that the Nook Color kernels still don't have the drivers for the graffics chip. If the graffics get sorted out we should another big jump.

For being an ereader, this thing is turning out to be the little engine that could. I wonder if the team that developed the NC had a tablet in mind or was it that TI had a tablet project that fell apart and they were just trying to salvage it. Either way its a surprising device.
[Nook Color General] azharmash:
just got my nook color and deciding on rooting it then OCing it ..

but undecided on eclair or froyo pathways..

the stock kernel eclair has gpu drivers and the froyo kernel does not right ?
[Nook Color General] jmt.dev:
ahh i wish i could steal my moms nook to test this out. still rocking a d1 and can only get like 817 quadrent scores =/
[Nook Color General] cruud:
You could be getting double that with a little overclock and rom swappin. Speaking from experience :).
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
In my mind Froyo on sdcard or internally does not make a difference. I would suggest doing the froyo sdcard first. It's the easiest and safest way to get your feet wet. Froyo in both forms is faster then an OC rooted NC. I would suggest the customized .59 Nookie since Google Apps is already installed and it preforms well. All above mentioned configurations are buggy. That said, I still prefer rooted stock and over clocked. I like the NC as a book reader and don't like any of apps I've tried compared to the stock reader app.

The whole button savior and softkeys situation sucks! At least on the rooted system the back and menu buttons are available 75% of the time and I only occasionally need to use button savior. In Froyo, I need the soft buttons all the stinking time and find it quite annoying. Even dragging right to left on the menu bar doesn't go back in froyo but does in the rooted system. I'm wondering if instead of soft buttons maybe gestures would be better.

So to recap, try the sdcard nookie version and maybe by the time you decide to go deeper there will be a rom released with most of the issues dealt with.
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
i've never really seen much difference between eclair and froyo in anything but benchmarks. real world had no real performance benefits that i could tell.

that could be attributed to the fact that we have some dang good rom cooks here that optomized the heck out of eclaire on my phones that upgrading to froyo didn't seem as drastic.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
Personally, if I might jump in here, I found the upgrade to Froyo to stabilize my HTC Incredible, probably due to better memory management. Also, and most importantly, it offered Flash. That's the main reason most people, I think, want Froyo on the Nooks...
[Nook Color General] chrisngrod:
Yeah the only problem is it makes flash much more necessary. There seems to be a transparent proxy or something not allowing certain apps to stream like Pandora and YouTube. Rather not get bogged down by visiting those sites directly. For Pandora the second you don't have the browser active, you can't listen to it.

Setting Up SetCPU...

Can anyone help me to configure SetCPU the right way? Any suggestions?

Please be Detailed, Im new to Android stuff.

Im running the rooted update 1.1 with the 1.1GHz kernel

Now: what about battery life? I feel like this 1.1GHz will eat up my battery.. :/

Is it possible for someone to develop a (stable) 1~GHz undervolted to save battery? or It's impossible?
[Nook Color General] rainmakerrc:
The following settings have been working great for me:

Main: 1100 Max, 600 Min, Ondemand scaling, check Set on Boot

Profile: created a Screen Off Profile, 300 Min, 600 Max, Check Enable, Check Set on Boot

Advanced: Check Set on Boot, 150000 sampling rate, 65 Up threshold, 0 Ignore Nice Load, 0 Powersave Bias
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
make sure you set your screen off profile to on demand. otherwise the sampling and up threshold rest to default when turning it back on. those two settings speed up the cpu throttling and make it a lot more responsive.
[Nook Color General] fixitsteve:
Yes I agree....in the 2000 range seems impossible? Are we sure?
[Nook Color General] Dusko75:
Thank You, I was about to ask you that, I'm doing it right now, Thanks again..

Just got this flashed. Im hitting anywhere from 1150ish to 1220 on quadrant scores. Rooted 2.1 with 1100mhz. Better score than im getting with my rooted sgt flashed to 1.2 ghz. Not sure why but there ya have it. Sweet
[Nook Color General] lucifurious:
I'm seeing faster response, but quadrant is 1128. Not a whole helluva lot better. But I'm on 2.1 and OP is on Froyo 0.5.9. I'm sure the JIT helps.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
What do those advanced settings do for sampling rate etc.?
[Nook Color General] noodles12:
Pretty sure that is quadrant score, not clock speed he's referring to
[Nook Color General] rainmakerrc:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. My screen off profile is also set to ondemand.

This has a nice rundown of what those advanced settings do:

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2011/01/root-reviews-setcpu/

I am still learning the ins and outs of SetCPU myself . . .
[Nook Color General] kusuriya:
So I have to ask, how warm does this feel during operation?
[Nook Color General] rainmakerrc:
No overheating for me.
[Nook Color General] Arbelzapf:
I just got everything set up and I'm now running Nookie Froyo from emmc at 1,1ghz. Lokks good so far :)
[Nook Color General] samurai1200:
There shouldn't be any more heat put out than normal because (AFAIK) they proportionally lowered the cpu core voltage, meaning switching losses are less per cycle, while more cycles/second are happening. (CPU heat is caused by the transition of a transistor going from ON [binary 1] to OFF [binary 0] and vice versa.)
[Nook Color General] mrsexkey:
I just bought a nook to play around with tonight, but I have a stock rooted galaxy tab that got a 2111 quadrant. No custom kernels, roms, etc. So don't diss the power of the gtab.....
[Nook Color General] 71CH:
Anybody see a hit on battery life at 1.1?
[Nook Color General] chrisngrod:
More heat and a significant hit on battery life with 1.1 on Froyo. I'll probably tweek via SetCPU.

There is an overclocked kernel for rooted stock (Eclair).

I don't have ADB installed, and don't have the time, but I'm pretty sure one could overwrite the kernel on the device with root explorer or something similar and reboot. Correct?
[Nook Color General] :
AFAIK, the nook has the sleep on death on any roms but stock. Changing SetCPU stuff won't do much.

Hello all!

I'm currently running the stock WM6.5 rom w/ TouchFlo3d and Manilla Today Page v0.3.7.0 running IphoneToday v1.5.4. The problem I'm experiencing is that I can no longer change the wallpaper for my main screen by going to start>settings>today>and checking off 'use this picture as the background'. No matter what I change it to it changes the background for my settings page not the main page. In order to change the wallpaper for the main page I have to edit the following registry key: hkey_current_user\software\htc\manilla\cachedbackgroundpath and changing the filename for the background image. Does anyone have an idea what registry key may have been changed to not allow changing the background via the Today settings? Any help is greatly appreciated...

ok, apparently i need this broken down to me. i got to the download screen on my phone. i downloaded the recommended files, when i ran Odin3 as administrator, i checked the PDA box, and clicked on the PIT button to get to the PIT file..

the problem i'm having is figuring out exactly what file, and where exactly is located for the PDA box.

if i remember correctly, i'm doing everything right. the only problem is figuring out which file is the PDA file?

help?
