[G2 and Desire Z General] goister:
Hi,

I've previously rooted my Desire Z using the guides shown here and here

I've read that the latest HTC firmware 1.72 ROM doesn't work with this root method. I'm not sure what my current HTC firmware version is, though system settings shows that the software number is 1.34.707.5.

I've just received notification of an OTA update with the following update:

Update: Improve system performance and Camera feature enhancements 43.46 MB

I'm not running any custom ROM, still using HTC Sense, just rooted it.

If I want to apply the OTA update, I assume I need to unroot and return my phone to its original state? How do I do that?

Also, a few other questions:

Will the apps that require root access cease to work once I unroot my phone?

Will I need to uninstall these apps or will they just not work?

Is there a new method of rooting the new HTC ROM?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnemoch:
you are on 1.34 (software number is 1.34.707.5) and once you are rooted and S-OFF you can re-root after moving to 1.72

That update sounds like 1.82 however, and I am not sure if that works. I am running 1.82 rooted but I flashed the whole update from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960149 (without wiping so I didn't lose any data).

Probably would recommend you do the same!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnemoch:
Oh, missed some questions:

You don't need to remove root to flash an update, but the update will remove your root

and if you lose root your apps that require it just won't work. Don't have to uninstall but since they don't work, well????
[G2 and Desire Z General] goister:
Thanks! I'm a ROM noob...how do I flash that update on my rooted 1.34 ROM Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
If I were you, i'd look into getting ClockworkMod installed and flash a custom ROM that has 1.8x already prerooted for you. That way, if you ever wanted to go back to your factory rom, you have the NANDroid backup from CWM!

Have fun!
[G2 and Desire Z General] goister:
OK, I have ClockworkMod installed. Do I just download the custom ROM into my sdcard and use CWM to flash it? How do I create a NANDroid backup?
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
For all those asking for having the ROM on their own language here I post the basic Steps.

Here you can find the files in english with all the text:

http://www.multiupload.com/XED4MKLV8I

RULES:

At array files do not translate nothing that has "*_values*" on the name ( just remove this part from tranlated file )

Use unix utf-8 coding to save the fale ( for windows users, use notepad++ better than other ) ( end of line LF )

Do not translate if is said as non tranlatable in the line ( same as point 1 )

Thats all ...

With this you can do it by your own

Thanks to all
[Click Android Development] TattooHtc:
Thanks :D

But how can i test it by myself?(My translation)
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
Test what?
[Click Android Development] TattooHtc:
Ohh Sorry :p

My translation ;)
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
to test is needed need to recompile the whole project

I have updated the file with last strings
[Click Android Development] bartmanus:
Hi, Kalim!! Thank you and thank you other heroes for your work in bringing our hardware to a working state in CM! A lot of thanks!

After upgrading from RC0 I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw localization for my language (Slovenian) in RC2.2, however, I've identified a few errors and I have no idea where the repo or bugtracker for fixing this is. Can you show me? Thanks...
[Click Android Development] dancer_69:
Is there any way to find the state of the translation in a specific language? I mean which apps are already translated and even apps that are in progress from someone else, to don't do same work again?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] extasic:
Hi!

I am working on a solution to import MMS from other devices to android (because I haven't found a working one yet). Is there a way offered by the SDK to programmatically add MMS that even works on not rooted devices?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PsHegger:
It should work, as there are sms backup programs. I think both sms & mms uses a simple Provider. You should read that section of the developer site. If I'm right you'll be able to add mms as you would add a new contact from your app, and it doesn't need root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethegame0204:
I've tried using both Odin methods, even using sdk tools, through command prompt with adb. Nothing is working. My Captivate gets to the download screen, and that's as far as it gets. I've watched numerous videos about this, and haven't come across this problem before.

I'm not an idiot, i've flashed a few roms before, but i'm using phoenix 6.0 with a basic speedmod kernel, no under/over clocking.

Can someone please help me with this, it's extremely frustrating. Thank you
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethegame0204:
wow

wow, ok, now I still can't get back to stock with odin, nor can I get back the first boot screen past the AT&T World Phone screen
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
Are you either able to do download with the Vol Up & Down and insert USB and have ODIN recognize?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
More details, how did you get here, what have you tried?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
I dont mind helping... easier way is IM tho.... google talk.... i'll IM my gmail....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
When I first decided to flash to stock using Odin I had all kinds of issues. Everything from nothing happening to it only flashing halfway through. My problem turned out to be the cable. I was using a cheap microUSB cable at work. When I got home, I used the original cable that came with the device and had no issues.

Things you can try;

- Using a different microUSB cable

- Making sure you have the samsung drivers installed. If they are, uninstall and reinstall

- Try different USB ports with the microUSB cable. Some people say they had problems using the front ports while others the back ports. Worth a shot

- Try using a different version of Odin either newer or older

- If you have access to another PC, try flashing from there as well

Hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethegame0204:
i've tried using both odins, the 3 click, and the one click. I've gone in with "AIO Captivate Toolbox" and also through the command prompt with adb.exe. It starts flashing and puts my phone into download mode, where Odin has it recognized, then it gets removed, but it never comes back like its supposed to.

for b naughty my google name is nzouv0847@gmail.com
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethegame0204:
I can get into download mode, but after that, odin stops recognizing my phone, and it never comes back to odin. I just have to unplug and reboot it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethegame0204:
ok guys, a couple people said re install the drivers, and that worked. Thank you very much, you saved me from owning a brick. Apparently it didn't install them properly the first time. Thank you to those that helped, I really appreciate it, truly. This is a great site, and the devs, and other members are awesome
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtoZ0to9:
I too am having huge driver issues... I uninstalled the ones that work perfectly, and installed the ones in the aio tool... now huge driver issues... took me an hour to go to stock and load another rom... fixin to load cyanogen so gotta use the nexus s drivers... hopefully those will work better...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeybear23:
Make sure Odin is up and running prior to going into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Resinrider:
Will not fully reboot after flash back to stock ROM

Just flashed back to stock Rogers with Odin. Everything went OK untill reboot. It gets stuck at the ROGERS screen, then just shuts off!! and ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] cataclysmicvoid:
From the first moment I started the phone and booted up Voice, I've had some small issues. I'm posting here to see if anyone else has had similar issues.

When I was setting up Voice I received a message that the "forwarding number change [was] unsuccessful". I haven't noticed any particular issues resulting from this, but still, it was disconcerting. You can check to see of you have the same issue by going to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings (if you are using voice) > and then click on your phone number.

The second issue is that the ringtone is stuck as the defualt beeping noise that the phone makes on shutdown... This is when people call me on my voice number. Ringtones for contacts calling my AT&T number are working fine.

I'd love to hear if anyone else is experiencing this, and especially if you found a fix!

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] showtdog17:
I gotta lag. I miss calls n txts. Worked fine on backflip but its suspect now
[Atrix 4G General] cataclysmicvoid:
Yeah, I forgot about that--I got a voicemail notification 2 hours after the phone call yesterday. An outgoing SMS froze too.
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
did you go to google.com/voice from a PC and change your settings there? When I first got my Atrix, the Google Voice was set up for my Nexus One and didn't work (even after configuring) on my Atrix. So I had to tell it I had a different phone, it gave me a number with hash symbols (#) to punch in the dialer and hit "call". this then forwarded my number to google voice for use with voicemails. I now have no issues with Google Voice... well, I have one issue. The proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen when I put the phone up to my ear to listen to a voicemail like it did on my Nexus One.
[Atrix 4G General] malfuncion:
I ran into the same issue when setting up about the number unsuccessful, but I went into phone options in settings and manually changed the carrier. I havent had any other issues, all notifications are instant and I have a custom ringtone.
[Atrix 4G General] Seymour2884:
Is google voice good what's the point of it
[Atrix 4G General] Blind_Guardian:
It's amazing! It's the best way to get Visual Voicemail on an Android device and it's free. To be honest if it wasn't for this app, I would have stayed with my iphone as giving up visual voicemail was a no go for me and the other apps on the market for it were not to my liking.

Once you set it, it will alert you when a voicemail comes in and also transcribe it for you. Aside from that you can even have it send an e-mail to you when voicemail comes in, you can also use voice to make calls, send texts, and much more. Best of all, it's free!

@OP: Mine did the same thing, but I haven't had any issues. If you are getting delays in the notifications, load up google voice and go to settings. From settings make sure "synchronize inbox" and "background data" are enabled.
[Atrix 4G General] Seymour2884:
So I got it but it keeps saying forward voice mail unsucsesful any ideas
[Atrix 4G General] cataclysmicvoid:
Thanks--this is the answer. I too came from a Nexus One and I didn't change any of the settings at first. I had to delete my old forwarding number (which requires another forwarding number to be on the profile), and then make a new forwarding number profile (for my Atrix). This fixed my different ringtone issue as well. Took a few tries and wasn't as smooth as I would have liked, but I got it working--I wasn't doing well without my GV!!
[Atrix 4G General] psymont:
Im routing my calls through voice but every once in a while a lady says "this call is now being recorded". I didn't hit anything. It seems random. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
i have tried many different builds and can't login

where can i find the latest and most updated hacked version?

or is there anything else i am missing that i need to know?

i'm using blazn 2.2.2 by tiad8
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] tovarish:
i had the same problem. What worked for me was that I backed up skype + data in my galaxy tab using titanium backup and restored the backup in my tp2 android build. I could login then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
thanks for the tip! i will try with my G2 backup then..

update: i need to root my G2 for titanium which i wont cuz i dont really need it

could you share those files so i can try?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] tovarish:
Well my backup contains my skype account details so that's of no use to you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
that's what i was afraid of.. NOOOOOO... :(

any other solution? i really need to use skype on my mobile
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Buy a native Android phone?

We can't expect every single 3rd party app to run on our devices...

I'd like to know why a backup of the app works while installing it fresh doesn't... if there is a workaround, that's always better than simply "not working".

Perhaps someone has a skype apk? I've never used skype, sorry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
i already have an Native Android device, but i have a cap of 200mb, so i dont

have that freedom, using blazn xxx on a grandfathered tmo tp2 is limitless and i can

get the most out of it, that's why i'm intrigued with this skype problem..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
So make the effort to figure it out, or don't and don't use skype... I don't really care either way, as I have never used skype and probably never will :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
uhm, i can normaly instal skype on my phone without it giving any problems :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
what build are you using?

can you login?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
frx05 (also tried on gingerbread) yeah i can login with no probs.

i was talking with on friend of mine for about 25 mins straight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
hate you! lol :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
are u on wifi or 3g network?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
3g because my build wont connect to wep protected wi-fi :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
There's a bug with WEP, no RHOD can connect to WEP without some fixing.

If you have a choice, GET RID OF WEP IMMEDIATELY!

It's extremely insecure, and should be avoided at all costs!

However, there is fixes. Read the FAQ.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
there isnt much i can do, i'm using my neighbors wi-fi.. cracked the wep using backtrack 3 final, he has a stupid password for the router to change any settings..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Wow that's... illegal.

This is the reason you shouldn't use WEP, so your assclown neighbors can't steal it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
hahaha epic man, arrgghh just made his point, and you are the perfect example lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] atomiq:
Nothing is illegal in méxico, i'm using a tmo phone which is on roaming all the time, is funny because if i didnt have the apn set i would be losing my shirt paying extra for roaming, that's why i love mexico.. cuz you can do lot of things :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
LOL it is still illegal, just people don't care. There's a difference dude...

You can't "legally" steal anything. See how that works?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugs9477:
I am new to Android and I don't know what I've done or how to stop it from happening, please help!

These issues only happen after a Factory Restore!

1, How do I stop Market from remembering and re-downloading My Apps that I've installed prior to Restore!

2, When I sign in to my Google account from Accounts & Sync, my contacts show up in People app which is fine but when I hit Menu / More / Linked Contacts there are 5 linked of each contact, I have 80+ contacts that is a lot to delete after each Restore.

More on this, Now I only synced and connected to my PC once and that was when I first received this Phone to sync my contacts.

After a Restore there are no contacts on the Phone or microSD I have no contacts in my GMAIL account and this is my only mail account Synced So these are on Google Server somewhere how do I get rid of these contacts or edit them so I don't have to delete them every time I Restore.

[Defy Themes and Apps] gabilam2:
Hello everyone!

Yesterday, I've installed lcddensity on m defy and set it to 220, works fine, but the dialer doesn't work anymore..

I tried other dialers, but I dont like none of them..

And I really like the stock dialer..

There is a possibility to fx this? Or a mod dialer that works with lcddensity

Thanks in advance! (:
[Defy Themes and Apps] madhuranand007:
Yes getting the same problem .... and need some advice !!!
[Defy Themes and Apps] gabilam2:
I can't find a answer for that..

Can I somehow mod the stock dialer to get this working?
[Defy Themes and Apps] Quarx:
Use another Dialer such as "Dialer One"

For me, Dialer One works fine with 210dpi :)
[Defy Themes and Apps] gabilam2:
I know that other dialers, loke dialer one, works fine with other resolutions, but I really like the stock dialer and I don't wanna change..

I thought that someone already found an answer for this problem..
[HTC Inspire 4G] mburris:
This is posted over in the DHD sub-forum but I didn't find any reference to it over here... stands to reason many may not know about it.

Part of the reason we are getting such low battery life on CM7 may be due to the aic3254 chip not turning off properly when its not being used.

mad-murdock has posted a flashable zip that contains a slightly modified kernel ("just the driver for the AIC3254 dsp chip is changed") along with some DSP related stuff that addresses and corrects this issue.

I personally flashed this on top of CM Nightly 14 after doing a no-wipe (did wipe cache and dav cache of course) upgrade from Nightly 8 + audio/gps fix.

The author of this fix has said:

note: after using phone for any calls, power down is disabled again. usual voice search enables it again.

So although originally it was thought that Version 5 no longer requires Google's voice search or voice dialer to be used once after every reboot to correctly initialize the fix, as you can see, you need to use google voice services after each phone call* to correctly initialize the power management of the chip

Once you have done that, the result of entering the command:

# aic3254pd status

from terminal emulator on the phone, or:

adb shell aic3254pd status

from a command line on your PC should give you this:

Power status of aic3254 chip: OFF

Please note as of this late hour, I'm not sure how this interacts with the changes made to the Inspire 4G kernel. I realize that as of CM7 RC2 there is a Unified kernel in place that handles the audio fix automatically, I do not know if mm's kernel is using that fix or not. I was however able to call my voice mail and leave a message and successfully play it back via google voice.

Use at your own risk, don't blame me, etc etc.

Please report back and let me know both how it affects battery life and whether or not audio quality is adversely impacted.

more information can be found over in the original thread in the DHD sub-forum

Thanks again to Mad-Murdock for his continuing hard work on this.

*Radio Update Info

Personal tests have shown that after updating the radio, the Voice search only has to be used once after the first call, not after each additional call. This works for me, but I can't guarantee it will work for everyone.

Before Updating your Radio, make sure you are BOTH Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF

The Radio I'm using (the Author of the fix is using it as well):

28th January 2011: Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 - TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1

For me CoreDroid on average with the screen off drains 4-8mah, CM7 build 13 is draining 15-100+ . mah
[HTC Inspire 4G] mburris:
First post updated to contain fix #5
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
running the command returns that the chip is ON until you run the voice dialer. i used fix 5, flashed over cm7 rc2. obviously, the fix is still broken.

edit;

can verify the fix works once you do run the google voice dialer, pulling 9ma with screen off, before running the voice dialer im pulling 263ma. something is seriously wrong with this mod, glad it's been found, eagerly awaiting a working fix.

edit again;

was something changed with the wifi aswell? im getting full bars when pre-flash i was getting two. sitting in the same chair and haven't moved before during or after the update, so it's not that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TDQuiksilver:
Let's get this pushed into the next nightly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
let's not push this into the nightly until we don't have to keep running google voice to make it work, please? forgetting to do that could ruin your day if you leave your charger at home. :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] mentalcase:
You should read the update. #5 does not require the workaround.

What type of draws are you guys seeing? With the patch installed and airplane mode on i'm still seeing a 10mA draw, 18mA with radio on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
you should do some real world testing. do you even run the rom?

i flashed to cm7 rc2, and installed fix 5 as linked above, and running the status command in terminal reports the chip as ON until i run the voice dialer, then it reports the chip as OFF.

did you even read my post?

with the screen off, radio and wifi on i am seeing 9ma draw as reported by battery monitor widget from the market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mentalcase:
I've been running the rom for weeks and have tested the newest patch with google voice uninstalled. It works perfectly. This is with RC2 and nightly 14.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
removed......
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
welp, read the updated op. looks like voice is still needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mentalcase:
I'm not sure where the OP is getting their info from, but the original post over in the dhd section has not been updated and still maintains that voice apps are not needed. Also, no one has posted in that thread since 5 was released to say that there is an issue.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11919563&postcount=1

Edit: Looks like there is an issue on some radios where the chip doesn't turn off automatically after a phone call. I've noticed that if i reboot the chip is off automatically, but after a phone call the voice dial method is needed to turn it back off or a reboot of course. We may have to flash a different radio version to get this to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
do we know what the offending radio versions are, and what are known good versions? id like to fix this asap, i dont really want to go back to revo, but it was pretty solid compared to all these bugs with cm7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mburris:
From the author of the fix. See instead of just reading the first post over there, I read the entire thread (something I would recommend to anyone before posting an uninformed comment that insinuates I don't know what I'm talking about.)

On page 11 I found this:

Currently more investigation is underway, but there does not seem to be a 100% link between radio and correct functionality.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
good work! and screw that guy, he's another one of the "know it all don't tell me anything" sperglord types this forum is polluted with. looking forward to finding a radio which works!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fwayfarer:
is there a reason the stock driver can't be pulled over to cm7? copyright issues? compatibility issues?
