That's because one click uses a local exploit to gain and preserver root access. If your worried about what you're running (and on any OS, you should trust but verify), check the source code and look at what it's doing before you run it.

Side note, I've already looked at one click 2.2.5 and it doesn't do anything nefarious, like install a netcat listener. [Note to self: try this on an emulator with a modified one click app] ;P J/K.

Get md5sum for your main OS and always double check that the posted hash matches the hash on the file download, just a good habit to get into all around.

Just my $0.02

The modem flashed in Odin so i know its got nothing to do with the drivers but anything else just won't flash wtf....
[Epic 4G Android Development] zenvita:
I know it sounds simple but have you tried rebooting your computer and purging the power from your phone? (pull battery and hold down power button a few times).
[Epic 4G Android Development] badasscat:
The "last resort" method listed here should be the first. It is the easiest and most reliable and will result in a 100% working phone that's as fast as it's ever going to be on a stock rom.

You just need to back up your phone first. I was rooted (but otherwise stock) so I just used MyBackup Root from the market and backed up everything. Then I did the .exe from Samsung. That wiped the phone, then I re-rooted, re-installed MyBackup Root, restored backup and done.

The whole process is 5 minutes. Most of that time is waiting for backups to restore on the phone.

Yeah, doing the incremental update is a little easier if you can do it (no backups), but it seems like it's similar to doing a Windows upgrade - you're going to be stuck with all the cruft you had before, and most of the people who are having various random problems seem to have upgraded with that method. It's better to just wipe the phone and then restore your backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
OKAY!! Guys i slept on it..... woke up fresh this morning in a good mood then decided let me give it one more try and ....it worked WTF

[Epic 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
I gave up on Samsung - downloaded from their site, didn't work. You would think they would have a perfect download since they are the manufacturer, another link might screw something up. Tried download from this link, didn't work.

Finally, downloaded both of the others, Update Zip finished first, so did use this and the first method, booting and copy off sd card.

Hubby's is stock, so all should've worked. It was rough, very jerky, keyboard was lighting up tapping into GMail, couldn't get it to sign in via servers. So turned off phone 3 times, popped battery, went through different settings to dump data, finally got new gmail account, and it signed in perfect.

Running smooth and good to go, so try that method, and do the above if finicky.

P.S. I'm still mad at Samsung for this delay. If there had been problems with updates last year, all they had to do is communicate, not ignore the whole 1million plus customers who bought their phones. Since they didn't communicate and seemed to be more itnerested in selling tv's at Christmas time than support to us, I bought a Sony - fixed them!! And it does make me feel good for that everytime I turn on that big Sony Vaio big screen;);)

I am dealing with a weird issue. I have downloaded the .exe from Samsung to update to EB13. I installed the .exe, but when I open the update tool, it does not show me the option to go forward with the update. That option is hidden and I am not able to resize the window at all, so there is no way for me to click on the "Next" button. All I see is the "Exit" button. I am attaching an image of this behavior. I have tried clicking on "Tab" button on the keyboard to somehow select the "Next" button, but it doesn't work. I installed the update tool on two separate Windows 7 machines with the same result. Any suggestions?

Froyo To Froyo

I updated from stock to Froyo using the update.zip file, my text messages are not sending.

Can I use the Samsung Tool to re-upgrade to Froyo, someone said to delete the cache this time, I just want my text messages to send!

Is this tool going to erase everything? Froyo, Phone #s, and cache?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
You have to accept it first lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] ae69ae:
OMG! Big Difference, now this is froyo

2nd Update: I used the samsung tool to go from Froyo to Froyo, It cleared everything [I also cleared my sd card] and its so smooth--night and day. So far so good :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] incisivekeith:
Yes, I know.:) That screenshot has the wrong radio button selected, but I just wanted to show that the window could not be resized. Even after I accept it, nothing changes.

[Epic 4G Android Development] vizionforever:
Confirmed completely wiped out truely epic 1.5... this exe is a samsung oem program for your computer. You must already have samsung phone usb drivers installed 32 or 64 bit depending on your os...Reminds me of ppc kitchen flashing it holds your hand nicely...Now if only I could find a wifi tether program that works... my galaxy will finaly best my trusty mogul ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vizionforever:
You need to install the samsung phone drivers... The option will present itself when it detects the phone.

64-bit OS http://files.androidspin.com/downloa...alaxyS_x64.zip

32-bit OS http://files.androidspin.com/downloa...Phones_x86.exe

you could try it on a different computer too...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robperri:
So if my "unofficial" DK28 works flawlessly there's no point in updating to EB13 and having to reinstall all my apps is there? Any improvements? Both are Froyo 2.2.1

I could just wait for Honeycomb...LOL

Okay. Used the Samsung Froyo exe to update. Ran oneclickroot and all is well. Which browser uses the flash support the best?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Topgamer:
one last ? for me... once i have the eb13 if i go to use a rom like say, Viperrom would the outcome with my phone be the same since its based on dk28? for example my modem speeds and such would not be differnt?

[Epic 4G Android Development] MeOverTrance:
For some reason my phone refuses to work with my laptop. I downloaded the driver and the second I connected my phone it would say USB drive not recognized. I uninstalled the driver and installed it again to no avail. I went from VIPERrom to Bonsai but the problem is still there. I tried many times, sometimes it would give the message above and sometimes it would say Driver Installation failed. This prevents me from going to EB13. Odin also doesn't detect anything. Any help ?

[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Having the same problem! I mean I odin already, but I wanted to do a fresh start (for battery reasons). The samsung software won't let me get past the license agreement page...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Try the second method
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
This is kinda a silly question, but I have to ask. No matter what method a person picks, one isn't better than the other? I've been lurking this thread for a while just counting the f*ck ups and the successes and it's kinda even. like the eb13.exe seems to have less f*ck ups
[Epic 4G Android Development] Analyzer52:
This first method worked great not sure why so many people made it seem hard it was easy, took 10 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cconwing:
I had the same issue got months actually and I have up all rooting and roms because of it, but then froyo came out and I was determined ask I researched and found people having the same problem due to their usb connector, I went to sporting today and asked for a new usb for the epic and the have me a free connector to a blackberry(not sure which one) but I got home and it worked flawlessly :)

bottomline: check/buy a new usb cable :)

Note: by the stock one or a bb one because some are only for charging
[HD2 General] desemdein:
Ok here is my problem.

I'm using a HD2, not branded, bought from Turkey.

2 weeks ago I wanted to install WP7, so first I downgraded my SPL with oldest stock rom, than HardSPLed, than upgraded radio and than installed Magldr. Than flashed Windows Phone 7 project rom.

Everything went well, I used WP7 for 2 weeks.

But my phone started to overheat and restart, so i decided to flash original rom and send my phone for repair.

Here what I did after that

1. I flashed a stock rom (not with SD method, with computer), and I got WM 6.5 back

2. I realized that HardSPL was still there and i have to delete it, i tried to flash the rom with sd card

3. Since the rom i selected was not my stock rom, flashing stopped with the triangle warning sign and I got "Rom update code error".

3b. I tried to flash some roms but i got not allowed error. Than i read and learned that I need the real stock rom, since i dont have hardspl anymore and i can only flash the stock roms

4. I looked for the real stock rom of my phone, found it and download it with my serial number (so i got 100% sure that is the right rom for me). I unrared it and name the nbh file as LEOIMG and flashed it, than restarted my phone

and nothing happened, i got the 3-coloured bootloader screeen everytime

5. I flashed the same stock rom with pc again

and now i get the white screen with green HTC logo, and nothing comes up.

any ideas?
[HD2 General] prieditis:
Try to pick up battery, wait some minutes and put it back. If no help at all, than go in to bootloader mode, make task29 and did a stock rom flash again. If this also doesnt helps, take a HSPL4 (search in this forum), make a HSPL with 3.03HSPL flash a original stock rom. After done, take HSPL 2 or 3 and get back SPL without HSPL (take original stokc SPL what you had) and try to flash original stock rom. All should be fine ;) Actually its a usual/custom probem with frozen white screen and HTC logo. I believe that 1 form 3 HD2 has this problem. One more problem is restarting issue. :(

Hey all,

I'm messing with xtrROM 5.0 now and I installed Fancy Widget and can't seem to add any widgets other than the main 4x2 widget. Am I missing something? I've done it on Froyo/GB and been able to do all the widgets, but not Eclair.

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] jrobinsky:
So I'm not quite sure when this started happening but here we go. I have superclean 2.4 with voodoo installed and have done numerous wipes and flashes but the problem still occurs. My phone will be running fine then it will start running very very slow even though I have lots of free ram. Once I reboot it is fine, until it happens again. I downloaded avg for my phone and it says download crutch lite is a suspicious file? Does anyone else have this problem? Thank you

[HD2 General] onisuk:
Hi how do i go about flashing my HD2 back to stock English: 3.14.405.2 ROM ?! as i'd like to sell it now. i have an artemis rom, cotulla HSPL 2.08 and a splash screen from an old chucky ROm i'd like to get rid of !!

so how do i do this safely ?cheers dom :D

p.s will i still be able to boot into an sd build of android from a stock rom ??:confused:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'

run hspl4 choose 2.08.0000 (or 3.03.0000, or in fact any that end .0000, teh next step will upgrade it anyway, so long as it ends .0000)

into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'

run 3.14 rom .exe

done.

(this assumes you have the correct 3.14 rom, not just the default stock rom. i.e if your phone is from o2 you need the o2 3.14 rom)

PS yes
[HD2 General] onisuk:
Oh right thank you for your quick reply! I think I'll just flash a stock rom so I can sell the phone as unlocked! Thanks again for your help! !!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you cant relock an unlocked phone anyway, no matter what you flash.

Dont confuse sim lock and rom lock, Totally unconnected.

a sim unlocked phone will still need hspl to flash, and a flashed phone isn't sim unlocked.
[HD2 General] kupz:
oh crap.

i just flashed straight back to stock without doing any of this... have i screwed up?

Also i did it because it keeps crashing and overheating so i was going to try it on stock and if it kept doing it i was going to send it back to htc - will they be able to tell i tried a custom rom?:confused:

(seems to be working fine though)

EDIT:

another question - will this have changed my radio back to stock too - or do I have to do this manually?
[HD2 General] onisuk:
where can i download the new stock rom as the HTC site says its now for my phone....(probably because it was an O2 branded rom before) :D
[HD2 General] kupz:
theres an O2 update as well on the HTC website?

Otherwise the latest ones are on here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623283

I managed to sort mine - turns out you have to do it via SD and it does everything bootloader, ROM and radio. (although it failed the first time and i almost made a mess in my trousers)

If anyones interested the instructions are (taken from HSPL4 app):

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.

- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

I also formatted the SD before copying it over.

all flashed and working fine now :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoemeistah:
Hi,I believe my HTC Desire GSM running Froyo was and still is limited to a certain FPS speed at 56 like some Samsung devices. I flashed other kernels for HTC Sense to see if that made any difference but no luck. Just want to see how high it can get as it has no HDMI anyway. I'm using application fps2d to test it.

Anyone with a 'solution' for HTC Sense in particular.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
The Desire isn't a gaming phone at all so why would it matter. Anything above 30fps is more than what we can see really so it doesn't make all that much difference. Plus, not all Desire's are the same. Some Desire's may do one thing and other's won't. Just luck of the draw really.

BTW, the highest I got was an average of 60fps. It was flicking between 50-70fps. But like I said, it isn't a gaming phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoemeistah:
I know, I own one lol... But I just like to tweak stuff if that is possible.

Thanks mate. Though I really have the slightest idea about anything. Totally new to this and my first phone android related. Never tampered with my phones before.

Also to my shock, after fully charging my battery 8pm last night, it is now on the yellow, probably just a little bit left. Thought I won't have to charge it til another 3-4 days. 1 day is really lame. Is this normal? Anything I can do about this?
[General Questions and Answers] duk3r:
Smartphones are not like the phones you were used to that could only call/text with. Due to the fact that they have so many things to do and apps, they drain the battery too fast. With medium usage they last 1-2 days before they need to be charged again. It's normal don't worry.

You can always do some tweaks to avoid battery usage for no reason. For example disable live wallpapers. Use a static one. etc etc.

I got this phone on Ebay because I am poor. It was a T Mobile unlocked that was changed to Android. I can't get rid of the old user name and don't have the password for the Android market account set up on this phone. I can't do a factory reset and I need help. I would prefer to put 7 on it but I would be happy putting 6.5 back. Android would do if I could reset the user account. I do hope someone can help me. I am not very technically gifted but I can follow easy instructions. Please help me.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] GaryOG:
Because you are new at this I suggest flashing the stock T Mobile from your SD card. It is the simplest and safest thing to do.

You may need the Serial and IMEI numbers located under the phones battery.

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32

2. Go to T Mobile web site and download the rom. It will ask for you IMEI number this makes sure the rom is for your mobile.

3. Unzip/unrar the downloaded file into a folder on your PC

4. Rename the RUU_signed.nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh

5. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

6. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone

7. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top

8. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

9. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

I tried the data cable first and it won't sync with active sync because it is at this time android. It just isn't recognized as anything but a usb storage device. Then I tried the card. I put all the files on the card according to the directions and hit the volume down button and the power button and nothing happens. I then have to remove the battery to turn it back on.

Turn off your mobile.

Hold the Volume Down and End Call (power) buttons at the same time.

When "Searching" appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button.

This guide may help. But ignore the things about custom ROM’s and HSPL for now.
