Yes, you need to have the android sdk folder installed.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VegasEvo4G:
Thank you... AGAIN!!!!! :D

So I download this, install it, and try the process again? I've noticed there are two versions of htc sync floating around. One is 3.0 that is only 1 month old from I believe the European htc site and the other is 2.0 from htc.com. Does it matter which one I have?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I used version 3.0, so I say go for that. And yea, try running it again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VegasEvo4G:
Ok. I will try that. We are gonna get this @#$!-ing thing rooted tonight!!!!!!

Thanks for all your help so far. I appreciate you and the other experts hanging in there with me. My goal is to learn a thing or two and someday pay it forward...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Lawlz, well that is the goal. And tis all about the learning experience. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VegasEvo4G:
Got it!!! :D

Moved over to my laptop running xp per xhausx and it executed flawlessly. Thank you so much for all of your help. And thank you to the many genuis minds that make all this possible. I only hope that someday I've learned enough to help out those that are just getting started with all this crazy stuff!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon2901:
Hello i was just wondering if a 2.1.A.0.435 with baseband 2.1.54 rom is possible to get? the only ones i found had htc keyboard instead of sonys own 2.1 keyboard which i find quiet good ( for some reason). Was just wondering :)?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
So I rooted my phone via the root.sh method, flashed to cw recovery 3.0.0.5, wiped data, davlik and fixed permissions through recovery, and installed CM7 builds 24, 25, and 26 (each time wiping before install). All was fantastic, minor bugs that I figured out or could circumvent, until I noticed my phone jumping between 3G and H. I assumed it was just something to do with the custom ROM and ignored it since I was still able to access sites without problems, until I tried playing a streamed video on the web and discovered that it was hanging every few seconds as it jumped between networks. Nothing seemed to fix it, reboots, permissions, nothing I could think of or that I read about at least. So I grabbed my GF's phone, which is stock and videos on it ran smooth. So I thought, maybe my phone is bad, I better revert to stock and return it tomorrow. So I did, and suddenly the data issues were fixed. So...

1. Has anyone ran across mobile data issues like this when installing custom ROMs? Is there something I should have done/should do when flashing CM7?

2. I think I read that fastboot system wipes are better, and my PC is set up for it. Would this method make a difference? I haven't used it yet, when doing the wipe should the phone be booted, in bootloader, or recovery? Does it matter?

I know I've read bits and pieces pertaining to my questions during the hours I've spent combing these forums, but for the life of me I can't seem to locate helpful info now that I need it. I'm sorry to waste someone's time, but if anyone happens to have any ideas I'd be grateful, I really like CM7.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Not sure about your data issues... My CM 7 does jump back and forth between 3G and H more so than on stock/Iced Glacier, but my connections is usually good enough that I don't really notice it.

But for your fastboot question, the reason it's better is because not only can you wipe your system data and cache, it wipes the userdata partition as well. This is why it's a cleaner wipe than the factory reset in recovery. To do the fastboot wipe plug your phone into your computer with USB Debugging enabled. Open a command window and type

adb reboot bootloader

This should put you into fastboot mode. If your screen says HBOOT, just select the fastboot option. Once in fastboot type

fastboot erase system -w

This will erase system data, cache, and userdata.

You can also type

fastboot erase boot

to wipe your boot partition while you're at it. Then you can just select bootloader to get into HBOOT. Then select recovery and flash your new rom. Just for some info, flashing your recoveries, HBOOTs and Radios are all best done through fastboot. It is the safest way to flash anything to your phone. Best chance of avoiding a brick!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
+1

Thanks for the info on fastboot, will consider if I decide to return to CM7. However, your similar experience with data concerns me. When loading web pages, downloading files, it's perfectly fine (or at least I don't notice). But when I stress the connection with video content it just can't handle it. I would understand if the stock ROM had similar issues, but since it doesn't I feel sort of tied to Sense ATM. I got this phone because my GF upgraded to a Glacier and I learned I could stream my hockey games from anywhere. So for me this is a deal-breaker. I don't get great HSPA at my house, maybe 3 Mbps (with CM7, one test would show 4 Mbps, the next 1, the next 1.3, the next .5), but I only need about 1.2 to play most streamed content, so peak speeds don't matter to me nearly as much as sustained. I don't mind Sense, but it's not as slick as CM.
[General Questions and Answers] kennyspark3993:
hey guys, i am Kenny Spark, if you aint heard of me already, im a GSC Coder and script MW2 Files to hack the game. I can code in several languages including c++

i am new to all this stuf and need a helping hand.

2 days ago i downgraded my HTC Desire's Rom to stock Android 2.1

i then rooted the device using unrevoked on linux (backtrack 4)

then i began to flash custom roms to my phone but im now stuck when i try to flash RCMixHD v2.0 ROM to my mobile.

According to the developer, this rom uses a script know as data2ext which i think requires something to be done with the sd card. i think this has to be done

Fat + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap

i know this means partitioning my sd card but i really have no idea on how to do it. i have a 4gb sandisk sd card so if anyone could explain i would appreciate it very much

i flashed the A2SD+ Version and it worked but the data2ext version just hung on the htc screen (i diddnt do anything to my sd card)

also do i need a certain radio or kernal? Thanks alot guys :D
[Hero CDMA General] dubach:
has anyone seen this? sprint is announcing the Echo and it has 2 screens!!! no word on anything else yet, but what does everyone think of it?
[Hero CDMA General] kurigowa:
?!?!?!

Help us AOSP and S0be, you're our only hope
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Second generation 1ghz Snapdragon. This is beyond underwhelming, but this is Sprint afterall...
[Hero CDMA General] Shadodragon:
- Too bulky.

- No 4G.

- Already hinted to have terrible battery life seeing as they give you an extra battery.

- Massive fragmentation problems. Very little will take advantage of the 2nd screen.

Basically their answering questions no one asked and ignoring the ones being asked with this.

Really hope they just choose the wrong horse for the "Big" announcement and we see some good phones at MWC.
[Hero CDMA General] FdxRider:
Wow,what a let down!!:(
[Hero CDMA General] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
I am disappointed. I've been holding out on my upgrade to see this but I guess evo it is. This dual screen concept is nice, but app support isn't there, the processor is not powerful enough, and the spec sheet I saw said 1370 mah battery---hero has 1500??? And Kyocera??
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Great concept for a handheld console, all-around not so good for a cellphone.
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Yup totally agree major disappointment IMO. And koycera!!! Really that is a joke..

Something.About.Me.U.Dont.Like.

Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
[Hero CDMA General] METHOD1911:
Kyocera lol that's funny.

Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
LMAO! This is worse than terrible... Total Fail!!!
[Hero CDMA General] MrDowntown12:
Sprint and kyocera really missed the memo with this one. I mean, I'm all for innovation and the dual screen thing is neat but to release it among this new generation of dual core, 4g phones that every other company is coming out with? Really weak to say the least. I mean if they would have put dual core, 4g, and a fat battery, on it and then sold it, Sprint and ESPECIALLY Kyocera could have helped their reputation and it probably would have been received a lot better

They brought a knife (albeit a really cool bowie knife or something) to a gun fight.

Terrible let down...

Good thing Aosp knows how to make a hero faster than a sonofab****.
[Hero CDMA General] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
This was an "Industry First"? Maybe, if they're goal was to be the first to put a ton of hype into something, and all they got was laughter for their efforts
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Dual core wouldn't help this failure.
[Hero CDMA General] jcha:
My thoughts exactly. I passed up the EVO, Epic, and Shift in hopes of them announcing something great but I'm sticking with my Hero for sure until at least April.

If Sprint gives us more crap like this at MWC, I'm leaving for either Verizon or Tmobile who I'm sure will give us something decent from there. I might even switch to ATT for the Atrix or Inspire 4g.
[Hero CDMA General] borrowedchief:
I also was disappointing. It seems like a really big gimmick. From what I have read, only a handful of apps are able to handle running dual screen.

And it's really underpowered. Read that the battery life will be around a day with "heavy" use, but that must be with both batteries. The display on my Hero right now is the biggest battery muncher. Can't imagine having it double.
[Hero CDMA General] dubach:
yeah looking through what happened yestday... sprint let us all down with this underpowered kyrocera phone. only have one good feature......the two screens that it... well good job i say and back to the drawing board.
[Hero CDMA General] d12bn:
Video, I think its stupid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hrK9fDXeic&feature=feedu
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Yep, basically this phone will have to run custom apps. And you can't have different apps on the screens.
[Hero CDMA General] Buda76:
This was a huge disappointment to me as well and I'm holding onto my hero until a worth while phone comes out. Also I wouldn't expect anything at MWC. Sprint will most likely announce upcoming phones at CTIA.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
You sound like you just will hold onto it forever.

[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
Looks like the only change is to make dual core apps compatible with single core phones
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Pretty big unconfirmed rumor at this point but it wouldn't be surprising after what happened with 2.0 and 2.1.
[EVO 4G General] SirSigma:
I find that a little concerning, unless the only actual difference relates to single/dual core compatibility. The reason I rolled back from Gingerbread to Froyo was because some of my apps weren't Gingerbread ready. I hope the difference isn't significant enough to cause a gap like this.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
That's interesting to say the least, not exactly welcome news to hear of google telling phone manufacturers not to update.
[EVO 4G General] anshawnga:
My feeling exactly... i mean why would u do that???
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
Is it really that big of a deal? Seriously we will have before any manufacturer upgrades to it and April is really not that far off. I just feel sorry for the CM team and others that have been endlessly working on GB Roms. I see this upgrade as a good thing and it says some of the elements of Honeycomb will be brought to the 2.4 smartphone version. Why complain if there is nothing you can do about it but wait patiently and be happy you have a great phone. Google, HTC nor Sprint are obligated to update your phone, so just be happy that they do.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
If google tells htc to not update to 2.3, and 2.4 isn't due out till april, then that pretty much guarantees that the Evo will reach it's eol on froyo. It still take a couple months after the updates released for it to be used
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:

[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:

Well I heard they are killing the 2.4 release to solve the multi-screen issues, by releasing Android 2.5 "troufles" in July. So named because of the layers of screen, not shrooms ( did you get that big "G" ? )

OK folks, stupid question here.

I've tried several if the Evo- framework based toms (myns,Inc,) and could not her them to stay paired with my Garmin Nuvi.

I switched over to Virtuous and it works perfectly.

Now, I tried using one of the Incredikernels with Virtuous and I think there was a problem staying paired so I reverted back to the stock kernel.

Does the kernel have any effect on Bluetooth?

Check out this article from Android Headlines,

http://androidheadlines.com/2011/02...pril-google-kills-2-3-gingerbread-update.html
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Google has almost regularily done two updates a year. That doesn't mean they've 'killed' 2.3, in the same way that 2.3 didn't kill 2.2.

HTC has always been ~6 months late with their updates. So people will get 2.3 when 2.4 is released, and 2.4 when the next is released. etc. etc. Of course, other manufacturers are different.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Rampant speculation. Calling shens on that. They'll be sure to get some hits on their website with that headline though.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
"Has anyone found news about 2.4 for us???"

Prepare.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
speculation: ice cream is just a guess
[Nexus One General] OzCDN:
Personally I believe that Google was planning on releasing 2.3 as Gingerbread (beyond just the Nexus S) and something changed their minds. Hence the delay for the N1.

So they are making some changes / improvements / whatever and are going to push 2.4 out as the widely released Gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Yeah there was a delay, but Google did release 2.3 as Gingerbread already. They can have two version with the same codename e.g. Eclair (2.0/2.1). Coincidentally 2.0 was only ever released to one device before 2.1 came out a few months later.
[Nexus One General] player911:
You know, who knows but I do find it odd that we haven't gotten an OTA yet.

I think they know they screwed up with dual cores and lack of tablet support with the new devices coming to light in coming weeks. They are forced to rush honeycomb to market to keep up. Now they don't want to release 2.3 because its useless.

Supposedly 2.4 will be keep devices from separating the android market keeping apps compatible with all the latest versions before they release anything as upgrades.
[Nexus One General] jadephyre:
If that article is accurate, that means even more waiting... while i'm certainly not going to switch to a different platform, other people might do so (read: switch to iCrap Phones).
[Nexus One General] elegos:
*coff coff* April *coff coff*

BTW, if this news is TRUE, it means 2.3 has been something like 2.0 on the Milestone, never exit for all the other phones, do you remember?
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Good news!

I didn't like so much 2.3, it doesn't have any major UI difference over 2.2 nor new major goodies
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
I'm only assuming they're adding a few things to 2.4, like perhaps Google Music, hardware acceleration and dual core support. From there they will release 2.4 as Gingerbread(like how eclair was 2.0, and 2.1), then we see updates from manufacturers based on the 2.4 build.
[Nexus One General] waynebx:
I think one of the reasons of gingerbread delay has to do with the "wonkiness" issue when making/receiving phone call
[Nexus One General] fabler:
well.. we have to stop waiting for 2.3 for our nexus one?
[Nexus One General] debay:
stopped that 3 weeks ago... :)

[Nexus One General] fabler:
Yeah may be.. Lets see what happens. But he plant a hope again. :(
[Nexus One General] asidhowz:
Besides 'Gingerbread' still not being pushed out to Nexus one.. im more frustrated with the Complete lack of any information from Google in this matter, if they had released a statement saying that the current 'Gingerbread' build had bugs they wanted to fix and they were working on it at least they would be keeping us nexus one (early android adopters) owners up to speed.. One of the main reasons i have a Nexus one is because i wanted the 'Pure' android experience and with this was led to believe updates would come to 'Google' branded phones first.. I've no Problem rooting my phone and installing some mods but to be honest, what i do want is something official from Google, the Nexus one is still a cracking handset and in my opinion is a far better bet than the Plasticy Samsung NS..

would hope the delay is not some exclusivity deal with Samsung and more down to bugs in the Software, Are Google Deaf? because their customer service and lack of commnuication is atrocious :mad:
[Nexus One General] jadephyre:
I guess keeping exclusivity has something to do with it, and I doubt we'll be seeing Android 2.3 on other Devices before the 15th of February (Nexus S will be released on that Date in Germany).

While i'm not a Nexus One User, I can understand the frustration you are feeling.

I mean, the Desire is practically the same device, just with a few subtle differences, and I've been waiting anxiously for a new version of Android without the bloat of Sense (don't get me started on CyanogenMod).
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Oh really? What other handsets have received the 2.3 update??? huh????

Your answer; NONE. NOT A SINGLE DEVICE HAS RECEIVED THE 2.3 UPDATE YET. So until some non-Google branded device gets the 2.3 update before the N1, you have zero room to complain.

You're all acting like we've been left in the dust with no update... when in fact, NO ONE has been updated to 2.3. The ONLY 2.3 device out there is the Nexus S, and it was released with 2.3. It was not updated to it.

and as a customer of Google, i have every reason to complain in relation to this.. read my full comment man before being so rude :(
[Nexus One General] yunlin12:
The disconnect here is that you think of yourself as a customer. Google looks at everything they do as an experimental project.

Google f-ups projects all the time. Look at Buzz security mess, Google TV release being suspended, Google Wave getting canceled. Google still has not learned how to approach consumer products, and until they do, they are going to continue to f-up things and not even be a little apologetic about it.
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
That's exactly the point.

When we bought the N1, we expected some different treatment (i.e. earlier updates). And now we're being treated exactly the same as any other non-google branded phone. So, #fail.
[Nexus One General] creativedevil:
This is not entirely true. I know this forum is about gingerbread, but hey, look at other phones and manufactures, how many of them have even been able to get the froyo ota from the manufactures? very few, and there are some phones which were promised to have 2.1 have not even gone so far...

On the other side, being a N1 user, we have got Froyo, then the OTA 2.2.1 and now 2.2.2, no other handset has received this update, not at least officially, the only way to get there is having a custom rom...

so I think we are not left out completely... :)
[Nexus One General] arturyak:
And, of course, you always have a choice to use Cyanogen.

N1+CM works perfect for me from day one!
[Nexus One General] martin0285:
amen!! enough said!!
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
No, we didn't. Google never promised different treatment. It was never ever advertised that we would get earlier updates. It was never even advertised that the phone would EVER get a single update.

The only expectation you have is your own, or expectations you got by reading crappy blogging sites online. Don't blame Google for not living up to your imaginary expectations.

Yes, it would be nice if Google was a bit more forthcoming on release dates, time frames, delays, etc... but they're not. That is the way Google has ALWAYS been. It's not really a surprise.
[Nexus One General] Rones:
Jamesots: Re Nexus One OTA tweet: I was seeing how easy it would be to start a rumour with a completely unsubstantiated tweet. Quite easy, it seems.
[Nexus One General] henriquesp:
I suppose you didn't have your major on any business-related area.

I you had, you'd know that EVERY purchase decision is done based on weighting pros & cons, where expectations play a major role. A company can fail to deliver value by either creating or not denying existing expectations in their customer base. It doesn't matter if it was something Google said or if it is something the market expects but Google never denied, if they don't meet the expectations their customer have, they fail. And it is clear that the N1 customer expectations are not being met in this case. Whether you particularly are satisfied or not, it doesn't matter. Check the numbers, check the majority of opinions.

Whether that matters for Google's business strategy at all, that's another discussion.
[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
After having used the official Gingerbread on the Nexus S for almost a month, the only thing that I REALLY missed was the S keyboard. I have that installed now on my N1, it works great and it makes the screen more sensitive to typing. I think everyone should chill. Gingerbread is not a major breakthrough. I'm happy if they get rid of all the bugs that my S had!
[Nexus One General] Digital1325:
