[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcelD87:
I've downgraded it to the 1.32 software. And the T-mobile loader is finally gone.

With Visionary+ I had no success and tried to follow the guide on : h t t p : / / w iki.cya nogenmod. c o m /index .ph p ?title=HTC_Desire_HD:_Full_Update_Guide (sorry, it doesn't allow me to have links yet )

Everything goes fine till this step :

Launch the Terminal Emulator & run the following command:

/data/local/gfree -f

sync

/data/local/tmp/root

NOTE: You may see an error that states mkdir: /system/xbin already exists, if you do, simply ignore and continue on.

sync

Wait for this to finish. Once done, restart the HTC Desire HD & continue to the next sections.

when I type /data/local/tmp/root in the terminal emulator on the phone i get the following :

mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File Exists

cp: can't stat '/system/bin/su/su': Not a directory

I have no idea what to do now :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcelD87:
Found the problem. Had a folder on my SD card called SU which was causing problems.

Finally got my DHD rooted :D Thanks for the help!

When I open ROM manager and press Flash Clockwork Mod recovery and select samsung epic, it says "An error occurred while downloading your recovery." I am running rooted stock. Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Are you on stock DI18? The stock kernel won't let rom manager intall cwm. The easiest way to install clockworkmod recovery is to use the one-click.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thierry_b:
Hello,

I have to use Orange sav because of my HTC Desire reboot problem.

I'm managed to unroot it and to pass from hboot 0.93 to hboot 0.75, and when I try to restore Orange rom from here : http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/310003/orange-france-stock-system/

It tells me thay I've an error signature problem.

Someone told me that this rom is for old Amolex Desire, so I'll try to give it to Orange SAV with the HTC officiel rom instead of Orange ROM.

I've a nandroid backup, but I make the bakup after rooting my intiial Orange ROM, so I don't know if I can restore it and after try an OTA update, to unroot it?

For the future, if I have another Desire, there is a way to dump content of non root Orange rom? (so without using nandroid)?

Thanks.

PS: I read from certain articles, that it's impossible to have an SLCD with hboot 0.75, so maybe its an Amolex.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Create a Goldcard and it will bypass the signature problem.

What is safer for flashing roms Odin or Clockwork?
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
I feel way more comfortable with odin, but thats just me. Had a brick with clockwork, never any trouble with odin. Just ALWAYS use the pda button only.

Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
[Fascinate General] vlucchetti:
I like Odin, just don't like having to take my body glove case off each time! If only Odin worked with battery in.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
It does, taking the battery out is just recommended since people will often mess it up their first time. A lot of themes, also, let you reboot straight into download mode as well.

Personally, I feel safer using CWM. CWM might be able to trash all the stuff, but it shouldn't be able to prevent you from being able to get into download mode, leaving Odin as a tool of last resort.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
this is the smartest way to do it. power gets cut to the computer while using odin it is likely to brick your device. when I use old in I cross my fingers some idiot don't run into a power pole, mouse chew a wire, roommate turn on a vacuum and trip a breaker.

[Fascinate General] peckjh:
Thx
[Fascinate General] vlucchetti:
LOL, you must have known I soft bricked my first attempt to root.
[Fascinate General] M00NEY:
I prefer CWM for roms, but WHENEVER I use Odim, it is on a laptop so there is 0 chance of a power loss...
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Cwm is safer. ODIN has a higher brick potential, especially if you're sleep deprived or less than sober.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
I would personally say the opposite. You need to follow instructions on Cwn (wipe this, wipe that, install this, install that, etc) which causes problems for people who doesnt follow instructions 100%. Odin is a lot easier as you just click one button. I guess you shouldnt use odin if you are blind (or drunk) since you may press phone, instead of pda.
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
I agree, CWM IS safer, but if you mess up in CWM you might be forced to ODIN if you didn't backup.
[Fascinate General] boorad22:
how do you go about getting odin?
[Fascinate General] marquicus:
heimdall is safer than odin and cwm is the safest

I usually only use Odin after I have messed something up and need to flash a stock rom to get me going again. But other than flashing a modem I usually only use clockwork to install roms.
[EVO 4G General] JoeLithium:
Alright so the original Development thread for the Incredible S port was pooped on so I wanna start a team and hopefully get a dev or a few devs to work on this. I used the original port to the evo and considering how stable and fast it was from the begining I have extremely high hopes for this port.

I wanna keep it pretty basic. Basically just a port left as stock and functional as possible so that other devs can pick it up if they want to theme it.

Devs, or helpers or anyone interested post or PM me.

I want this port, and I think a lot of other people do too.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaiu22:
Hi,

I wanted to know what's the difference between flashing a ROM through Odin vs. flashing a ROM through CWM with a .zip file?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nowaysout:
Pretty much it's preference. It's more common that CWM .zip files are created to be flashed. If you found the files, you could use ODIN too. I just think clockworkmod is easier.

I have installed the 2.2 xdandroid on my htc touch pro 2, that originally comes with wm 6.5. The problem with these gameloft productions is that they exist of an apk.- and a sd-file. The apk. is thought to be sored on the internal memory, the sd-file on the sd-card. I already tried to save the sd-file on my internal memory and the apk. on the sd-card but it didn't work. And both on the sd-card didn' work either. Do I have to overwrite wm 6.5 in order to play these games?

ok i have the Stock camera app set at 8mp 3264x1952 and quality HIGH. Thing is i notice when i take the pics and look at them on my comp they are only showing around 1.4MP for each photo. Is this normal? with the Vigntte app i can get the camera to take about a 4-5mp photo(with the settings on that turned to 8mp high also).

Did i set someting in the setting wrong? or do the camera naturally do this?

[Vibrant General] hurricanes52:
there is no swype in the market

Look in here for the Swype beta thread or google that then go and sign up so you can download directly to your phone (make sure the email is the one you use on the phone) Then follow the directions and you will have the latest Swype
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
you can get swype many ways. you can sign up for swype beta at beta.swype.com and then use the installer included with Trigger to install it. Or you can use a program like ACS (link in my sig) to download a flashable Swype zip
[Vibrant General] hurricanes52:
does swype beta have bugs in it? is it the sane swype that come on 2.1 eclair? trigger came with swype installer on my phone but u need to register it. i have no idea where to register it. any help is appreciated. thansks

did you read my post? beta swype is good. to register you need to sign up at beta.swype.com

or you can use the other method i mentioned to get the regular swype back....
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Listen to the developer of your rom... the beta is better than the version on the stock Vibrant. You need to spend some time reading man, it would really help and I do not mean that to be rude.
[Off-topic] SciFiSurfer:
I know probably most of you folks on here are users of something other than an iPhone, and probably many of you are Android users like me, so this isn't any kind of iPhone vs. Android thing, but just a general thoughts thread.

I'm trying to figure out the bigger picture here about Apple and them introducing a CDMA version of their phone. It's not that "going with Verizon" per se really surprises me, given how big a company Verizon is, but Apple surely had to know in advance that one serious downside of putting out a CDMA product meant no simultaneous telco and data capability, unlike how it is on a GSM network. Ads to this effect have already started appearing by from AT&T, which means the ads were well in the pipeline and so this is clearly something AT&T knew would be the case.

A lot of folks out there have been complaining about Apple basically having a somewhat "unhealthy" relationship (some might call it a "fixation") with AT&T, so here's the thing: given the saturation that the Android platform now has, what is Apple's motivation and secondly, what do you folks think about the situation?

(And no, I'm not looking for a "Well, I wouldn't own an iPhone so I don't care" type of answer.)
[Off-topic] Essenar:
Obviously, more Android devices selling in the last fiscal quarter has a huge big fat part of of the reason.
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
It's probably as simple as having their product on both of the largest carriers in the U.S.

They get a chance to make more money and brainwash more people. :D
[Off-topic] SciFiSurfer:
I dunno. It's just that, for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, this just really weirds me out.

At least in this sense, GSM is the superior technology (it is in other ways, but that's another matter) and so, at least in this way, AT&T has the better network. It would totally make sense for them to push that. And obviously both AT&T and Apple knew about this kind of limitation (like I said earlier). So, Apple in a way is basically playing AT&T against Verizon. They're still making the whole widget and so this isn't a licensing thing here.

In a number of respects, Android is superior to iOS, and surely the whole EULA model from Google is better than the one from Apple (from the perspective of us end users). Apple isn't changing anything else, but now they are arguably selling a lesser-capable version of the iPhone. Moreover, given their push of the Droid, Verizon is kind of the king of Android phones. There's also a LOT of general information out there and (I think) a number of knowledge-empowered smart phone users out there who, particularly if they're using Android (or are really into Blackberry) aren't going to switch to an iPhone and are even less likely to switch to AT&T to get the somewhat-better version.

I'm just wondering if this is Apple going after AT&T with the leverage they're expecting to be generated through Verizon to get better terms, or perhaps force the issue on coverage issues... I dunno, it's not that I'm into some kind of grand conspiracy theory here; I just think there's more than meets the eye.
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
I literally think they want to sell as many handsets as possible to make the most amount of money. Could you imagine if they made an iphone compatible with Tmobile 3G how many people would defect to Tmobile because of the plan cost reductions? Maybe if Apple is still working closely with ATT they don't want to introduce a competitive version that has the same GSM technologies, so they decided to go with CDMA because it is a whole different technolgy altogether.

Either way, I don't care and I will never own an apple product. This is the most discussion about Apple I have partaken in to date. Good day. :D
[Off-topic] Essenar:
You're over analyzing this. It really is as simple as Apple wanting to sell more iPhones. Of course having leverage against At&t makes the cream filling better tasting.

As for your Verizon Droid statement, what they're hoping is users without any smartphones will jump on the iPhone. I've seen this personally on a large scale.

Both of my housemates are on Verizon with crappy flip phones. Verizon released the iPhone and they BOTH took the plunge.
[Off-topic] DJBillWI:
I think it is mainly due to Apple being greedy.

A small part of it also is Verizon has a stronger presence in certain states/regions of the country and people that tried iPhones with AT&T left there preferred phone due to poor coverage.
[Streak 5 General] JordyGrant1:
Ive searched the forums for hours trying to find a way to root my Dell Streak, but nothing works. Ive tried

Universal Androot

Both the "App" roots, only the temp root works :(

SuperOneClick actually bricked my streak and it took 4 four hours to reflash it.

Any help would be great thanks!

Edit : Also I just upgraded to build 12821 since everyone was saying that version is more stable. My baseband is 318.
[Streak 5 General] eowyn:
It's superone click, there's a link from marvin02 in pocketables forum giving tips and trick on using SOC effectively. For me, what I did was disable anti virus, closed all other application and then it worked! Took me almost 30 tries believe me but did not give up till I got it. 1.5.4 worked for me, give it another shot.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
JordyGrant1,

If you are going to one of DJ Steve's builds you don't need to root. Just follow this guide on streakdroid.com. Ignore the stuff about amss.mbn as you don't need it. Steve's ROMs are already rooted.

Tips for using SuperOneClick - I just gathered up some of the suggestions I have seen in various forums.

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I just read about this new TEP app for Sprint customers only that has some useful features, but the paranoid side of me wonders if this app reports back to Asurion as to weather or not your phone is rooted, and if so are there any negative consequences?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ame-sprint-tep-subscribers-reap-the-benefits/

Search the Market for Total Equipment Protection to install.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Yeah i saw that article. You bring up a really valid question. Sounds like something they would do... sneaky sneaky.

I immediately thought to myself that they'll eventually force all TEP customers to have it installed on their phones. That'd not only help lost phones be recovered more often but also give them a way to deny claims over 'stolen' phones or even rooted phones.

I definitely smell something fishy....
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
YA, no way I'm installing that till a dev has a closer look at it.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
One of the responses to the article makes a valid point-

"They won’t deny insurance claims for rooted phones. It would make no logical sense for them to cover me if I literally dropped my phone in a meat grinder and never retrieved it, but they would deny me if my phone is rooted. The permissions didn’t seem outlandish to me at all for what the app does. You can go to the market, hit the install button, and read the permissions without installing it if you’re curious, though."
[Epic 4G General] sponge66:
Its good stuff I recommend it to all with tep. You can go to www.sprint.com/protection after 2-28 to dl.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Thanks for the info. I am going to assume nothing fishy in terms of Asurion or Sprint surreptitiously combing your phone to see if it's rooted. The author made no mention of such a thing and stated that he has been flashing roms like crazy lately. I would think he would have made some type warning about rooting/flashing if there was a need for concern.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It's on the Android Market now.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
I've heard that Asurion won't care if your phone is rooted, it's only an issue if it's the manufacturer's warranty.

If I get a TEP cancellation notice I will post back, but I highly doubt they would be that sneaky. I know a lot of sprint employees who would scream bloddy murder.

We need someone to flash stock, install the app, and then root it and report back. I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the root, but more to do with running a custom OS.

[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
You know it may be a firmware issue. When I went through the steps using the link from the article, eventually I get to a screen where I'm asked to choose my device. For the Epic, it has 2.1 under it; indicating that it is for Epics running Eclair. I'm on 2.2 and I got the same message you all received. Are y'all also on 2.2?

[Epic 4G General] sponge66:
The app will not even install if you not using a stock Rom. It sees it as an unsupported device. Right from the faq on the site

Why is the Protection Application not working on my phone, even when I have a compatible device?

We do our best to stay up to date with the latest Sprint certified releases, but it’s possible we have not yet certified the Protection application for the latest update to your handset's operating system. Please check back again for a future update. Thank you for your interest in the Protection Application and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Please note: We do not support rooted Android devices. The Protection Application is only compatible with operating systems that are Sprint certified and unmodified for your device.

If that were true how did the author get it to work on a rommed evo? I still think it is from the OS we are using.

Sent from Bonsai v 5.0.3
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I think it's the release keys in our build.prop. Those of us running leaked dk28 based ROMs are using release keys for the Nexus One that allow protected apps to show in the Market. The EVO already has legit release keys for Froyo, so they don't have to fool the market.
[Epic 4G General] Bradart:
That's a very good point, however it also works on gingerbread for the evo. If you guys can find a real, replicable reason it fails, I can update the post to help future users.
