[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsprks:
I have an N1 that I unlocked and rooted and was running CM7 RC1 when I decided to try the stock Gingerbread. This switch went perfectly, but now I don't think I want to stay on the stock GB but I can't seem to get ROM Manager to boot into recovery to allow me to flash another ROM. Do I have to do something differently now? BTW, I do not have root on the 'new' GB.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Unless you flashed a pre-rooted version of Gingerbread, you will have lost root and your custom recovery...

If this is the case, you have two options:

1 - Flash a custom recovery through an unlocked bootloader.

2 - passimg back to an older version of Android and root again...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
This is your problem. ROM Manager installs a custom recovery, but only when your phone is rooted. You need to re-root GB.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsprks:
Can I ask them how people flash custom recoveries without having root? I see threads all over the place that say that you don't have to root your phone to run these custom ROM's.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
You have to root, but you don't have to unlock your bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You have to do one of the things:

1) Root.

2) Unlock the bootloader.

Rooting allows you to bypass security mechanisms from within the OS, and flash the custom recovery from there.

Unlocking the bootloader turns off the security mechanisms, and you can flash whatever you want directly from bootloader.

Both achieve the same thing, but in different ways.

Root privileges in OS are lost upon official upgrades.

Unlocked bootloader is never lost.

Unlocked bootloader allows for an easy way to gain root in the first place, regardless of the ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsprks:
How does an unlocked bootloader allow me to flash whatever ROM I want? ROM Manager won't run without root? Am I missing something? I've read the wiki's and threads about rooting an N1 and they all just seem to stop at unlocking the bootloader, well, my bootloader is unlocked but I can't get it to boot into CWM so that I can select another ROM. Is there another way to do this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
ROM Manager is only one, and not the most successful nor most powerful, way to flash ROMs or recovery. ROM Manager was made for non-understanding people to make the process look and feel easier. The most powerful way is directly from bootloader - which needs to be unlocked to allow it.

If you read all the threads, you'll see that unlocking the bootloader is just a first step - you can look carefully at "installing custom ROM" guide in Wiki. Or, for example, here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=636795

Read the Wiki, look for recovery installation instructions using unlocked bootloader, execute. I suggest Amon_Ra's.
[Desire General] XartzMAX:
I bought my brand new (sim-free) Desire only 5 days ago, Only today I noticed that when I was using the camera (indoor) it went pinkish tint (with a kinda textured look) and the live feed of the camera became 'unstable' :eek: like in this video. (the video is not mine though)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7CIpVUwxL8&feature=related

I was totally terrified and my first thought was that I may have enabled an effect. But strangely everything was just as it had always been. :confused: I didn't take the photo atm it happened. but after about 30 secs the 'unstableness' stopped and only the pink tint (with the screen looking like its divided into 2 parts like in this video) appeared, then I took the photo, and saw that the photo also had the same pink tint but not the divided effect.

I m really worried whether I have to return it :( , and was trying the whole evening to reproduce the same bug but without success! I was trying everything I know like killing the camera app and restarting but just couldn't make it happen again. I'm little relieved that it didnt happen again but just wanna know what it is and if it is a software or hardware related issue. And I haven't rooted yet just stock 2.2 ROM. (My usual working temp is around 40-41 C, if that helps)

If anyone else have any experience like this?

EDIT : http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Desire/HTC-Desire-Camera-Bug/td-p/398826 this also seems exactly my problem.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up the software version
[Desire General] htrx:
Your normal working temperature is 40-41 degrees? Mine is quite lower than that, although I don't play games on my phone (except the occasional chess/sudoku maybe) - around 28-30 and 18 when sleeping.

When did you first notice the faulty camera - right after you bought it, or later after some tinkering/playing/experimenting with it?
[Desire General] jimlad:
yeah i get this some times, restarting the camera app solved it 9/10 times. ive not had it since the last update i think.

2.29.405.5
[Desire General] XartzMAX:
Android Version 2.2

Baseband Version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Build Number 2.32.415.3 CL283905 release-keys

Software Number 2.32.415.3

Browser Version WebKit 3.1

Yeah, but the usual temperature of my area is around 29-32 C, I have noticed that when the phone is sleeping it goes to room temperature.

I noticed the bug only yesterday after 5 days of buying.

I think I have a newer update than you. (software number)

Thanks for the comments, looks like it's a software issue, and it didnt happen today until now. Saw that GPRS signal interference causes the bug in a thread somewhere, gonna try that out and post the update ASAP.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tibursio:
I didnt find any related thread to my issue that discussed a backup process without interfering with the touchscreen.

First let me explain my issue:

Basically like many of us my HD2's touchscreen suddenly stopped working. The only solution to this problem seems to be a repair by HTC, so before sending the phone I have to revert back to original state (ROM, SPL etc.). I already read alot about that and it seems like many people had this issue but none had any backup concerns.

So here I am, I'm on Android (via SD Card, NAND is WP7) and want to backup all the data from Android but as the touchscreen ain't responding I have no clue how to do that (apart from backuping the SD-card, but that won't backup the internal memory right? atleast I'm not finding certain save-files from games like Angry Birds).

Anyone know how the data without touching the screen?

Edit: just came up with the idea of trying to control my phone via pc. I'm going to use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=663390

Edit2: Worked perfectly! Just follow the instructions on the other thread incase you have the same issue. You have to update the sdk after downloading it, also adb.exe is located under android-sdk-windows/platform-tools now. Case solved. I used Titanium Backup btw...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussieglis:
When rooting and flashing custom roms, is there any roms which makes your phone work just the same way as it did before? I mean, does all the roms have support for camera(pictures and filming movies), sync (facebook, twitter, email), and so on?

Will I be able to use my phone as I did with the stock rom I guess the question is.

Getting more and more tempted...:p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
yes of course, especially if you want to use back HTC sense, then flash the sense-based rom.

Android Revolution HD is recommended by me ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
The first answer I have... is you want exactly the same phone you have... keep your rom :D

Normally in most of the build thread the dev list what is working and what is not.

So read the first post you'll know.

Take also into account (and do it anyway) that you better backup your staff before testing any build. CWM give you the ability to backup everything. That's great for testing new builds.

General advice: never trust an electronic device!!!! Backup is the rule. One day or another you will loose your data (wrong manipulation, memory corruption...).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussieglis:
I've read more about it now and found a genius guide in sweedish (I'm norwegian so that's pretty close, haha) and now I'm quite sure I will have to give RHD a go. :)

But what about the phone's language? All over I mean, in the menus and everything. Will I get a english phone after flashing custom ROM's, or can I just change the language settings ... ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alind_:
Most (if not all) roms based on WWE stock roms have european languages. (At least swedish and norwegian)

peace!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alind_:
The rom you were thinking of trying definitely has norwegian. Tried it a few days ago with swedish.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussieglis:
Great :D I can't sit on my hands anymore... *jumps into it* Wish me luck! I hope everything goes the way it's supposed to. I've used Visionary and Titanium Backup to freeze some apps, but that is as far as I've gone... But seems like that wasn't quite enough, if I can get more benefits out of the great phone, I want them :D

Will the facebook/gmail sync work with RHD? It doesnt say anything about it in the thread. What about the themes for the ROM? They wont override any language-settings or what?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussieglis:
Done! Now I will have to seriously clean up my SD card, as I did double backups of everything, including the stock rom, nandroid backup(?), app, system/settings backup in titanium backup. And I have to check if I will have to install a new radio.

I did. *installs new radio*

Killswitch for tablets and phones

THE BETA TESTING IS OVER, A VERSION OF THIS POST WILL APPEAR IN THE PAID SOFTWARE ANNOUNCEMENT FORUM

LINK TO APP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988126

A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!

We at Fahrbot Mobile are almost ready to release Killswitch, a utility made specifically for devices with cases, as well as those who would like to control wake state via orientation.

Created by venerable XDA member Exidler, the app is for those who are tired of lockscreens and pressing buttons to turn off their device.

What does Killswitch do?

The app uses a combination of sensors to control the sleep state and screen lock of any device.

At the moment, it uses the proximity sensor, light sensor and accelerometer.

Killswitch has the added advantage of removing your lockscreen if you so choose. If you have a case, it really isnt necessary and can be annoying.

Why use Killswitch?

Killswitch will save you battery - putting your device to sleep is as intuitive as shutting your case or turning your phone face down.

The app also integrates an elegant solution to the dark room problem encountered by tablet devices that have no proximity sensor and rely on light levels only.

All this will use no more power than any Android device does on default settings, as all of the pertinent sensors are already on all the time.

The beta

So far Killswitch has been tested on the Motorola XOOM, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Advent Vega slates, as well as on the HTC Desire HD, HTC Desire, Motorola Milestone/ Droid and Samsung Nexus S.

If you would like to help us test the app on more devices, please write me or Exidler via the PM system or this thread. A time-limited, obfuscated beta will be available to pro XDA users for the next five days.

Beta 2 is now concluded, and a RC build is on its way to the market. Recent changes:

+ Alternative no lock mechanism reintegrated

+ About page added with detailed explanations of the features and settings

+ A number of issues related to the newest version of proguard have now been fixed and people should no longer experience FCs when interacting with the timeout dialog.
