I got the one on the right...almost a perfect fit, it seems like the gtab is a teeny bit taller than the ipad so it's kind of tight at either end. Also has a thick, plush padding which is really nice. No pocket for any accessories though - just a plain and simple sleeve.
[G Tablet Accessories] krazpinoy7:
I also thought it was a little tight at first so I decided to look in the sleeve and sure enough there was a small demoisture bag inside! The memory type foam that's used for padding is awesome. My wife dropped the g in the sleeve twice from about 5 ft. and it still survived.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcelt:
Good evening,

I appreciate that you get this a lot but after reading so many similar posts, I don't really know where to start.

I have recently been given the Desire HD on upgrade with Orange. Typically, it is branded and full of Orange guff. I have rooted it with VISIONary but when I delete the Orange game demos they are then reinstalled by Orange (I assume).

I now want to debrand it. Having rooted it I want to install the latest, Original, Generic ROM for the HTC Desire HD. I have searched all the forums and have come across a vast array of files.

Would anyone know exactly what ROM I need to debrand it, remove the Orange guff and have the latest version of Android? Can I then use ClockworkMod to install it?

Very many thanks indeed.

Details:

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.007

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

I am new to the rooting scene and I am very eager to root my HTC Glacier|MyTouch 4G.

I am however hesitant because I cannot risk bricking my phone.

Advice on how to recover from brick and an easy to follow guide to perm-root.

What is the end result you are trying to get to?

If you are wanting S=off so you can flash custom ROMs.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/; do that and it will lead you to perma root the easy way.

if you are wanting s=off so you can have complete control over your phone, which will enable the possibility of a brick. including SuperCID, ./gfree and some other goodies...... But this will give you the option to severally screw up your phone including up to a 500.00 paper weight.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996

If you haven't screwed up the HBoot and the bootloader you can use this to get back to a factory spec.

But if this is your first android, and your first time rooting i would HIGHLY suggest doing alot of reading before you jump in head first. There are alot of people who have tried to do and get stuck. This phone is confusing once rooted with 2.2 ROMs and 2.3 ROMs and different recovery images you need to read and make sure you understand everything before jumping in feet first.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Temp root with visionary is the easiest and safest way, but gfree is pretty simple as well. The hardest bit is getting the drivers and ADB to work, and thats not overly difficult. (remember to use the command "ADB devices" to know if the drives are working) It just matters what you plan on doing, stock root or custom ROM.

There is really only two points that risk a hard brick, flashing the radio or hboot.

The gfree method does not require either, but you can flash the engineering hboot as optional.

The biggest thing with recoveries and ROMs is know that gingerbread based ROMs (like CM7) use ext4 file system and froyo ROMs use ext3. So it is important to use the right version of Clockwork recovery. Use v2.5.1.2 for froyo ROMs and v3.0 for gingerbread ROMs. Soon clockwork mod will support both on the same version.

Just read the instructions well and have all files downloaded and ready to go.

If you want to use gfree and a custom ROM, there is no need to get perm root on the stock ROM first. After the steps that get s=off, just run visionary as temp root with system r/w access and install ROM manager from the market, then use ROM manager to flash a new recovery. Reboot into recovery backup your stock ROM then flash a new ROM.

If you never touch the hboot or radio firmware, then at worse you can bootloop or soft brick the device. That can be fixed with varying amounts of work, depending on the exact issue.

Read and learn how the different parts work, learn how to use ADB and you will be better prepared.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibnird:
newbie here

This is my first post. I would really appreciate anybody helping me out here. I can't seem to get any straight answers, or answers I can understand, anyway, so here goes.

I have an HTC Mytouch 4g. I did a temporary root (using the method at theunlockr.com) and uninstalled the monopoly app. I was going to uninstall a bunch of other stuff but I got nervous and did a factory data reset (in the SD & phone storage area). All of my marketplace apps reinstalled, which I thought wasn't supposed to happen, but anyway.... I did the volume down/power on and see now that my phone is GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON. So my question is how to interpret the state that my phone is now in. Is it factory? Is it rooted? Will the T-Mobile OTA updates work? Why is the monopoly app still gone? Is my warranty voided?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Temp root is just that, temporary. It creates a copy of the essential files in the system partition that it runs from rather than the actual system partition. If you allow it r/w access, (an option you can choose when using visionary) it can uninstall apps that normally can not be. (and more, but causing big changes would require more work on your part)

Because it is temporary, there is no need to get nervous. Unless you are doing some major changes, ones that need a root explorer app or terminal emulator, then you can't really hurt the phone. Download terminal emulator from market and run it, then type in the super user command "su" (no quotes) then hit enter, if the cursor changes to a # symbol then you have root. (you may get a popup asking for root permission, choose to allow) If it works after a fresh reboot, you either ran perm root in visionary, or you have the option checked to temp root every reboot.

S-ON means that the bootloader security is still in place. You need it off to install custom software. While you can root the stock software with S-ON you can not install any software that has potential to brick your phone, so no need to worry at all. If you are really that worried, keep a copy of the stock software on your SD card. Make sure it is named PD15IMG and at any time you get nervous, you can boot into hboot (the bootloader) and it will run automatically. It will wipe your phone and return it to complete stock. The irony is, that flashing this stock image file does things that can brick a phone if it goes wrong. It flashes more than just the OS, it also flashes hboot and recovery as well, and if the process is messed up in anyway like loosing power at the wrong time, it can brick the phone.

Really as long as you make sure you have the phone charged and you follow instructions you should be fine. The only times you can brick a phone to the point it can not be brought back is when flashing hboot and the radio firmware. Both of which you would rarely flash. Hboot only needs flashed to the engineering version once (OEM testing/DEV version) and only if you choose to, as it is not required. The radio will only need flashed if an update for it comes out, and that isn't often, and it is rarely mandatory.

The chance of truly bricking your phone is not very high, unless you just can't follow the directions. Now you can put it into a bootloop or soft brick it. (bootup stuck on mytouch screen) But if you can boot the phone into hboot (vol down + power on) then you can fix it. Even if you can not boot into recovery (an option in the hboot menu) you can even fix that with a good hboot.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibnird:
Thanks Marine and Tommy.

So with temporary root, as soon as I turned off and then back on the phone, it was back to its unrooted, original state, minus the T-Mobile application? Will I now get T-Mobile's Over the Air (OTA, right?) updates and not have a problem if I need warranty work?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Uninstalling an app will not hurt anything. OTA updates will still work fine. You can temp root and then perm root the stock ROM and revert easily. Heck, even perm rooting stock doesn't break OTA I believe.

Voiding the warranty is one of those grey areas. As long as you can revert to stock, then they will never know. Temp root does not void warranty at all, because you do not alter the system files. (unless you want to, and enable the ability to read/write system) Just uninstall terminal emulator and super user apps and there is no evidence.

The only time you might get caught, is if say the screen stops working, and you can not see to revert back. Though even then, just putting the stock OTA image on the sd card then booting up the phone in hboot will restore without needing to actually see anything. It does ask for confirmation to restore, just wait several minutes then hit the power button and it would do it on its own.

The set of circumstances needed to prevent you from restoring to stock, are rare. Basically a borked hboot or radio firmware, and you never need to touch those to get full root and custom ROMs. If you never touch them, the chance of issue is almost zero.

I just got my mt4g and I am looking to root my phone for the following reasons:

apps2sd

remove bloatware (I want the app to be disabled and I don't want the icon in my app drawer)

use adfree

I don't want any custom roms and I'd like to keep sense ui.

Can anyone tell me if this is at all possible? I've read around and I know it's possible but I don't know about rom flashing and I'm confused as to whether or not I need to flash a custom rom? What's the point of a custom rom anyways?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessek17:
You dont need apps2sd, as the mytouch 4g has Froyo installed, and you can move some apps to the SD card. Just go into settings-Applications-chose the applicaiton you want on your SD card, and look for "move to SD". If it's grayed out, then you cant move it.

Also download appfreezer from the market, and just "freeze" the bloatware. That's what I do, and it gets rid of those annoying looking apps they installed.

Question about clockworkmod

OK i just rooted my phone, flashed the rom, and installed all the goods... it works perfectly and looks great.

Ty for all the guides/ instructions.

My only question is about the clockworkmod. When I turn off my phone and plug it in to charge the recovery screen always appears when off and connected. Is this suppose to happen? Or is there a solution to this?

If there is a solution can some one post a link or provide instructions so it doesn't constantly boot to clockworkmod recovery.

Thanks.

hi i currently using the android 2.3.2 my question is.....

when was using windows 6.5 i could watch you tube videos in full screen and high quality,now using android 2.3.2 and you tube videos will not open in full an are poor quality although bbc iplayer plays full screen and high quality.

is this a problem for everyone using android on there htc hd2 or is it just me missing something?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DECIM8:
I am using HyperdroidGBX v5 which is 2.3.2 though could be cooked differently than whatever you are using. I use the Youtube app v 2.1.6 for to access my youtubes. When in the app hit the middle hard button and select "settings". The first setting is "High quality on mobile", this should be checked to get HQ videos. To get the video in full screen just double tap it or turn your phone on its side. When in full screen you should see a button in the upper right corner of the video that sais HQ. The green light under it should be on if it is HQ and you can press the button to toggle between HQ and SQ.

Anyway, that is how it works for me.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
I just called 4 different stores in my area, 1 in Manhattan, NY, 1 in Staten Island, NY & 2 in NJ. Everyone said it was in their stock but not available for sale. Manhattan & NJ stated that there were just advised that its on sale for the 28th.

The Staten Island store actually mentioned that people were calling and stating it was only available in NJ, he actually took my name & number to call me back and he did. He said its not NJ only & they have stock but not for sale at this time. He wasn't sure of the release date but was hearing from other stores that they were being told the 28th was being confirmed by verizon.

As for the price, 2 of the stores I asked explained it this way according to what we see in the add.

$249.99 with savings means that if you DIDN'T pre-order and are on contract with an upgrade avaialble, you will pay that price. Yes $299.99 - $50 upgrade discount = advertised price.

If you pre-ordered and have the $50 gift card plus upgrade on your current contract, you will pay the $199.99 plus taxes. Between gift card & upgrade discount, it totals $100 off the $299.99 price

Best buy does not do mail in rebates, all discounts will be taken off price at time of purchase and activation.

Full price $749.99 plus tax

Hope this helps
