[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Most likely
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
i think theres another thread, but I dont think anyone knows if the current one-click will work, I would doubt it... BUT there should be a method soon... if not a pre-rooted version to update.zip in stock recovery....

[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
Is there any way to turn this off? I use my gmail-account to sign in to messenger (windows Live Messenger) and fot contacts in the People-Hub and do not wanna see status updates from messenger in the "whats new" feed... I can't find a way to turn this of.

When I go to "email & accounts" and choose "Windows Live", I cannot delete it, the only thing I can do with it is sync email (hotmail wich I do not use). The text "Attention Required" is also shown.

I therefore finds it weird that my phone shows me status updates from messenger, kinda messy :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KannedFarU:
I have a Droid Eris but I made the fatal mistake of putting clockwork recovery on it :'( and now I can't do anything with it because of the following:

1.) Can't install PB00IMG.zip from HBOOT because: "Main version is Older!" (I've checked the md5sums and everything lines up)

PB00100 XC SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.49.0000 (PB0010000)

MICROP-0111

TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104

RADIO-2.42.01.04.27

Feb 8 2010,00:08:56

2.) Clockworkrecovery 2.5.0.1 (I get the error message below)

3.) A bad deployment of GSB Gingerbread (2/18/2011) {Stays on Android skateboard screen and never does anything}

Is there anything I can do with this combination of stuff to get my phone booting into Android again?

Any help (even a "you're screwed" message) would be of help. Thanks guys

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Don't do anything further to your phone until you have answered a couple of questions. In the meantime, plug your phone onto the charger and keep it fully charged. The steps you take at this moment are extremely critical. In particular, I would recommend that you avoid attempting to flash a PB00IMG.ZIP file or run an RUU until you have investigated a few more things.

First, let's find out about your skills and resources:

Q1) Do you know how to use "adb" and the command line?

Q2) You are still able to boot into recovery, HBOOT, and Fastboot modes, right?

I'll post another entry in a minute or two - I want this to get up on the board ASAP.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I can post up a flashable zip that will allow you to replace your ClockworkMod recovery boot with Amon_RA, so don't get discouraged yet.

Such a thing is trivial to do - it's never been done so far on the Eris forum because the emphasis of rooting was on getting any custom recovery in place, rather than replacing a custom recovery with another custom recovery.

But, I think it is important to use non-destructive methods first to investigate as thoroughly as possible; because your current recovery boot is your lifeline to getting the phone back, we should avoid that until I've received some feedback from you.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Nevermind.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In ClockWork Mod Recovery it's under the Partitions menu, I think at the bottom of the list.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Thanks - I wasn't aware of that.

I have been using both Clockwork and Amon_RA - I think you saw the hack/trick I am using that allows me access either one I choose from a cold boot.

I tend to use Clockwork for Nandroid backup/restore (because it is far more complete), and Amon_RA for almost everything else. I want my installer to perform signing verification, dammit!

:)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

Yes, actually even with ROM Manager installed I most often use QuickBoot or any other app/ROM's reboot to recovery option and then load ClockWork from there. Most of the time it seems actually less time consuming than bothering to load ROM Manager just to tell it the same thing. I don't keep any other zips in the root of the SD card besides FlashBack21 and 15, so the update.zip for ClockWork is always right there easily accessible without scrolling through a list.

And I won't lie, ClockWork Mod definitely has a different approach to the naming of it's menu options and organization, and even naming of those menu items, so it doesn't surprise me that you didn't know that the USB mount option did exist - in a weird place, if you ask me. Makes sense only in hindsight.

Something just rang a bell so I loaded ClockWork Mod re: signature verification. I would have brought this up a LONG time ago, but I honestly just didn't remember it until now, I swear. :)

ClockWork Mod DOES have signature verification, at least as a menu toggle.

In CWM's main menu, choose "install zip from sdcard". You'll see the third option in the list is "toggle signature verification". If I choose it now it then says at the very bottom of the recovery screen "Signature Check: Enabled". This setting doesn't stick between reboots (tested), although they could probably set it up so that it does by one of two methods:

1. Writing a settings file on the SD card which the recovery reads when loaded.

2. Actually modifying the update.zip as necessary to make this setting permanent until it's re-toggled.

I think where the confusion lies is that if you actually use ROM Manager the way that it's meant to when flashing a ROM, you'll never get the opportunity to see the menu option for signature verification as I believe that ROM Manager causes CWM to automatically reboot after the flash.

I rarely even enter ROM Manager as I mentioned above, so I guess that's how I got a little bit more familiar with the varying contents of the CWM menus. I never toggled sig verification on before except a very long time ago as a test to see what it did - but I just didn't ever think about it ever again after that.

I will probably toggle it on from now on, though.

I don't know what the "toggle script asserts" option below that is, though. Any idea so that I don't have to search? :D

Back to how I originally started this post. I was going to say that despite CWM not verifying the signature (by default - now that I know), I like the ability to organize my various flashable items in my favorite hierarchy of folders too much to revert back to Amon RA for typical flashing. Now that I know there's no reason to, I won't feel as lazy.

Also, I see now that in CWM v2.5.0.7 that they renamed the "partitions" menu to "mounts and storage". Still slightly confusing, but oh well.

Wasn't it speculated or more that Amon RA may not wipe Dalvik correctly when Cache To Cache is used? Did anyone come to any definitive conclusion regarding that?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
While I have seen this before myself, the one time that I tried to use it in Clockwork with a known-good .zip file it gave an error message. In other words, this passed Amon signature check, successfully installed on both recoveries, yet gave an error when I tried to set it.

Maybe I was reading the error message wrong, though.

I can't see how it wouldn't. Wiping Dalvik formats the /cache partition, and the /cache partition with cache2cache is holding both the system Dalvik cache (the one that you want to wipe when there has been a change in the Android system files) as well as the third party app cache (normally in /data.) It's definitely true, though, that Clockwork does a more thorough Nandroid backup and restore, as it backs up and restores /cache, the SD card's /.android_secure folder (where Froyo/GB store apps moved to SD) as well as ext partitions on the SD card (where 2.1 ROMs store apps2sd.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
At this point in time it's beginning to look like the OP did a "drive-by" posting, so I suppose it's Ok to continue with the OT discussion.

Same experience here. From that I concluded that it doesn't work correctly.

I suppose it could be set up to reject the "test key" signature, as it really isn't a private key (cuz everybody has it), but that would make it useless for Eris dev ROMs.

Eh?

That's counterintuitive. I thought Amon_RA only wipes /cache when you do a "wipe data/factory reset". Is clockwork different in this regard?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I was actually talking about Amon's, and I am probably very wrong about that - I hadn't really checked. Still, all that cache2cache does is move /data/dalvik-cache to /cache/dalvik-cache and create a symlink so /data/dalvik-cache points to /cache/dalvik-cache, so any procedure that wipes /cache/dalvik-cache and even /data/dalvik-cache is going to wipe Dalvik just fine with cache2cache installed, right?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, when Amon_RA is performing installs or Nandroids, it mounts the "data" and "system" partitions on the normal mount points, namely /data and /system, respectively.

So, yeah - if someone had cache2cache installed on their ROM, there would be a symlink

/data/dalvik-cache -> /cache/dalvik-cache

So if Amon_RA's strategy for "wiping dalvik cache" is to "mount /data and rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache", then yes - the folder at /cache/dalvik-cache would get wiped.

But if someone was NOT using cache2cache ( me! ), then the /cache/dalvik-cache folder, which normally contains entries for apps in /system/app (for Froyo and GB) would be preserved if you were "overflashing" a ROM, assuming that the dev did not place an explicit "format CACHE:" directive in his installer script.

When I am "overflashing" a ROM, I always look at the result with an adb shell to Amon_RA after everything is flashed, but before the first boot, and I manually remove /cache/dalvik-cache if it is there.

In that specific case (no use of cache2cache), there is no need to wipe the /data/dalvik-cache (because none of the apps in /data/app have changed), and a very good reason to wipe /cache/dalvik-cache (because many of the apps in /system/app could have changed).

Arguably, if someone is NOT using cache2cache, then a "wipe dalvik-cache" in Amon_RA wipes the wrong cache if the intent is to overflash a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM - because the /cache folder does not get wiped ... and that is precisely the location that you do want to wipe, because what is being replaced is the system apps.

I wonder how many rooters understand that subtlety.

And then, after that, I wonder if it is even necessary to worry about it - I thought that Android does a variety of signature checks on every boot, and if there is a mismatch between the .apk and the .dex, the .dex gets re-created automatically.... I think. (Ugh. I know how to check this experimentally, but it's a lot of work.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It should also be noted that CWM wipes .android-secure (and /sd-ext, as well as Data and Cache) when you choose "wipe data/factory reset". Noticed this just now.

I wanted to test the signature verification since CWM had been updated recently for the Eris, at least with one ROM and it's associated files (GAPPS, zach.xtr's C2C). I flashed GSB v1.6 with verification turned on. It never reported any error flashing the zip. It did, however, claim that "gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip" failed sig verification. I immediately flashed that zip via Amon RA and it flashed just fine.

zach.xtr's C2C passed CWM's sig verify, though.

I'm doing research to see if I can find any more information on this behavior.

I certainly didn't know this. Very interesting, thank you!

Ever heard of a Tablet Gamer? You probably will in the second quarter of this year. HTC has now stepped up to the plate of the tablet industry with its newly unveiled HTC Flyer.

According to ZDNet, the Flyer was revealed at the Mobile World Congress on the 15th of February, boasting a 7-inch screen, 32GB storage, a camera on both the front and the back, and, of course, Wi-Fi capability.....

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GreyKnightIX:
I'm currently thinking of getting a flyer and having something like this could be really cool. But I wonder if the 1.5 ghz single-core will be able to handle the job. Or will it be fine given the service is streaming ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrKaon:
Today I've checked htc website, they removed every thing about OnLive, you cannot find anything about it any more, even there is nothing on manual. I guess its gone. So sad
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] K-Mile:
OnLive does not appear to be present on the Flyer. There is no app, no mention in the manual, nothing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jwiskowski:
I think it will come back. They didn't make an investment for nothing. Hopefully they are working on optimizing it. But it looked fine back in MWC, and the service works well using the OnLive Gaming Console and on my Macbook Air.

But I hate the fact they won't mention it at all in the marketing or through their Twitter account.

hey all. so i recently sold my old sprint hero that was rooted to cm6 and the new owner says that sprint hasn't been able to activate it to their account? is this normal? when i sold it, i did a reset to clear my data but i left it rooted (at their request). can someone tell me the easiest way to tell them how to unroot the phone? from speaking to them, i get the impression that they don't know much about this type of thing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
You guys should meet back up and you should flash a sense rom for them.

Only way for them to activate.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnvento97:
that's what i was afraid of. i sold the phone on ebay so it isn't someone local that i can meet with. so would you say that the easiest route would be for me to create a micro sd for them to boot from (someone else rooted my phone for me, but i rooted my nook color this way)? do you know offhand where i could find instructions to do this? i searched the android development forum but didn't see anything that dealt with going back to stock.

Just use the ruu in zip format is does it all for you in one file. Just send him the zip, tell him to put it on his sd, power the phone off, plug in the charger, hold down volume and power and 15 min later wham pure stock. No root no recovery. Just like out of the box

Yea it's me again. The one with the -Modified-Hero
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Don't Quote me but, I'm Thinking the new owner should be able to Activate it by phone! At least I was able to with Mine! If not try just installing a 2.1 sense Rom and Delete the Superuser App, From my Experiences Chances are they Won't even Check for Root!!

Good Luck!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeezyAF:
Wither way they need to reprogram the phone for his phone number, and the only way to do that is use the hash codes which only work on sense roms. Otherwise, if you know your way around qpst, you can do it from stock.
[HD7 General] heygrl:
I've seen lots of complaints about the HD7's reception. With my DEFY I've gotten the best 3G reception ever on T-Mobile. HTC seems to have longstanding complaints about 3G reception and hearing about it with the HD2 and HD7 isn't encouraging.

So, Is the HD7 the best or worst you've had on T-Mobile?
[HD7 General] humblehyper:
Mine is not good, the signal is very weak. My other phone which is the Nokia N8 gets better signal on the same spot.
[HD7 General] failtorespond:
Overall I get pretty good reception as I did on any of my other phones, except in my living room. It is a total dead zone. Only that part of my house, out of anywhere I go, has a problem. Otherwise I get on average 4/5 bars. I am in Northern California if location is anything important to you.
[HD7 General] Audio:
As more Radio's become available to flash we should be able to get optimal signals hopefully. I personally haven't found it any different to my previous phone (TyTN II)
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
I've owned a mytouch 4g, g2 and hd7 all of which are htc made

It seems that these phones tend to have a bad reception in low signal area

however the hd7 tends to have the worse

wi-fi calling really works in handy for the mytouch 4g and g2 and i wish they would release this for Wp7
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
I also have a Defy as well as a HD7. The Defy was the forth phone I had with T-Mobile the others being a Moto Razr V3, T-Mobile Tab and Nokia Nuron. The Defy gets the best reception I've ever had and still does. Sitting in the same spot in my home the Defy gets full bars 3G while the HD7 only gets 2 bars 3G. Even the Nuron gets better reception.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Remember that the "bars" don't mean that much. A better test would be seeing which phone keeps a working signal (can make phone calls) the longest, as you drive away from a tower and into a dead zone. Then you can see which phone actually has the best and the truest reception.
[HD7 General] rich2thad:
Agreed
[HD7 General] hmbe:
I had one or two disconnections during my conversations but the reception has been OK.
[HD7 General] unit_three:
Reception in North Texas is good. Went out to lunch with a friend on Saturday who couldn't connect to the internet on his fruit phone but we could on my hd7. Every place will be different.
[HD7 General] heygrl:
Well it's kind of disappointing to hear the varying but mostly bad reports on the HD7's reception. I guess I'll have to wait for something from Samsung or Nokia, if I can't get my hands on one for cheap.
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
The reception is not that bad its only if you live in the middle of nowhere where I see even a remote issue
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
My reception has been just fine in places where T-Mobile has reception. That being said, after updating my phone's radios, reception and even data speeds have improved greatly.
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
Now that I have the No-Do update I'm sorry to say that reception on this phone is still really bad. I was hoping that T-Mobile or HTC would include some sort of radio update. Well, since they didn't is a way I can update my radio firmware without flashing a whole new rom?
[HD7 General] dzotx:
I only know of two TMOUS (531) Radios...

1. RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09U

2. RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.54.531.02_Radio_5.51.09.29a_22.32.50.10U

I'm currently on the 2nd one... but I've also tried the newer European and Telestra ROM/Radios as well...

All of them have worse receptions than the HTC TP2 that I had... and it really sucks at my house where I loose data connections all the time. :(
[HD7 General] TechJunkiesCA:
My reception sucks! I came from Verizon where my reception at home was not the best but with this HD7 its awful. I did have TMO before with an MDA and the reception wasnt nearly this bad. I drop calls daily. However, in some of my clients homes where my old verizon sucked, this phone shines, go figure.

Reception is going to depend on where you use your device. Try it out for 30 and if it doesnt work for you take it back. This phone is amazing and worth the trial! Good luck!
[HD7 General] heygrl:
Sure but making a call in a weak signal area with the right phone can be the difference between holding it or constantly dropping it.
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
I'm currently using the 2nd radio listed above. I really like this phone but the dropped calls are making me crazy. Damn if only T-Mobile would just go ahead and release WiFi calling on this phone.
[HD7 General] heygrl:
But your DEFY performs better under the same conditions? Right?
[HD7 General] Blue1k:
I have found the opposite.

I had the Desire HD, Galaxy S, and my HD7.

The HD7 works in my gym while the Desire HD did not. I found the reception the same for the Galaxy and the HD7.

I'm using mine on Telus.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slocko:
Question. On my friend's myTouch 4g, I noticed that when someone calls you, you have an option to send a text to that person.

I don't remember if it was only if you were already on another call or if it was for every call that came in.

Is that a function of tmobile network or is that something I can add to my Streak? It was one of the features that prompted me to try out the Andriod platform.

Searched for dialers but haven't found anything specific to this question.

[Galaxy Tab General] thunder_1977:
I read this article about cracking open a Sprint Galaxy Tab over at techrepublic (sorry - !'m not allowed to post links...)

The Sprint version of the Tab doesn't have a slot for a SIM card since it's CDMA. But is the hardware completely different from the SIM versions? Is there a SIM reader inside the Sprint Tab, so that one could crack it open and insert the SIM card (and install new firmware/unlock the unit)??

I'm very interested as my Sprint Tab cannot go on 3G abroad.

Thanks!
