[G1 General] 10123:
Basically I'm interested in purchasing one of the cheaper tablets on the market for my sister, I want to optimize it before giving it to her as a gift.

The main interest for me is whether I can use the mods used for the G1.

Although they are both different I'm wondering because they both use Stock Android 1.6 whether everything on here will work fine on the Tablet.

The Tablet itself is a Elonex eTouch

http://direct.asda.com/Elonex-eTouc...usic-–-10gb-storage/000504956,default,pd.html

The Important Specs comparison that I can find are:

G1: Screen 320X480 pixel

Tablet: 800X480

G1: Memory 128MB RAM

Tablet: 192MB RAM

G1: Micro-SD Slot

Tablet: Micro-SD Slot (Important for installing apps?)

G1: CPU-528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7201A ARM11 processor

Tablet:	ARM LNX Code 9 Processor

Okay so before anyone replies I'm thinking that the root won't be compatible. I was an avid Windows Mobile fan (SE X1 etc) and its time for me to jump ship to Android. Although the root in theory shouldn't be compatible due to different phones/tablets, but because the specs are similar it could work?

Also there is a higher spec version Tablet also available at Asda (UK's Walmart) that includes-

* Android 2.1

* Higher Resolution screen 1024X600

* Larger screen

* Higher Ram 256MB

* And a 1GHZ Processor

http://direct.asda.com/Elonex-eTouc...-Music-10gb-storage/000505981,default,pd.html

Anyway If I've gotten this all wrong and you can't root the tablet does anyone have any ideas? For those -like me- who buy cheaper unknown tablets but due to lack of support find it hard to use XDA.

Thanks :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvschuil:
So i had my phone rooted, and S-OFF, but wanted to return to stock.

Ran the RUU that i thought was the correct one, and now my Desire is stuck in a black screen. It does not show _anything_ at all.

I did however find out i can get into fastboot, so i'm hoping there is some way to save my phone.

There are tons of guides, but i can't figure out which one to follow. Anyone want to point me into the right direction?

also... if it matters at all, giving in fastboot oem boot, i get this:

... INFO[ERR] boot image does not exist!!!

But i have no clue on how to get a new boot image on my desire using fastboot (and besides, there could be a lot more missing)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appox:
Sounds like you ran an older RUU on an SLCD phone. You could try a newer RUU, get one that is version 2+ (2.14.207.1_ for example). Boot into Fastboot USB, install it.

If that's what happened you aren't bricked, you just have a ROM that doesn't support SLCD screens, so shows black.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvschuil:
So I should be able to install a RUU when my phone is in fastboot? Because when running the exe, it's telling me it can't find a device on the USB port. Or am I supposed to put in some commands on fastboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appox:
I've installed RUU's via fastboot. No commands you just wait for it to say 'Fastboot USB' and it should work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appox:
By Fastboot I mean boot into the bootloader (pwr + vol down), navigate to fastboot (If you can't see it, once in boot loader, wait about 15secs then press the pwr button and you should be in fastboot), then you should be able to install the correct RUU.

Nothing to do with the Android SDK fastboot

Any ideas? thx

Thx 4 the information

It seems that I need to flash the Canada version to root.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LouisTran:
I used the SuperOneClick 1.7 too but not got ur issue like u,:-(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
Try flashing a general unbranded rom, some continental version if you find. And root after that. I had the same problem with the Ro firmware, got an European Fw and it worked. Also try and stay below 10e to root.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] netomx:
As for information, Gingerbreak roots it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nimitmak:
You must try gingerbreak it will surely gonna root it ,but mind it its gonna root permanently, so you can't unroot again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iSiktir:
Yes, Gingerbreak is the solution.

But I think with KDZ firmware updater u can unroot the device.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nimitmak:
Kk

I was not knowing that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sholimar:
Version 1.2 of Gingerbreak includes the Un-root option... so, just give it a try and report afterwards! ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AngryWolf80:
Gingerbreak have un-root option and it works fine. And if you flash oficial firmware with KDZ - you got un-root to.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dody:
what about making wp7 matching the hd2 buttons ?

how to map the hard buttons on hd2 using wp7

it is really hard to feel like iam using the wrong button

wp7 on hd2 can make sense if the buttons are doing what it meant to do

using android on hd2 it dosent it is not the hardware for it even if it works it is hard to accept the windows button on hd2 cause simply it is not windows at all it is different operating system

but with windows phone 7 it is ok

the cookers of wp7 tried to make it workable but not beautiful

what if hit on the screen to turn on the camera and not the call button :confused:

why not to use the call button to call !

how to map the hard buttons
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
WP7 keymap only has a certain set of buttons.. The HD2 buttons where mapped to what normal WP7 phone buttons would do.. Theres no call button.. you cant map the camera to the screen since its not a button and even if that was possible that would mean that the phone would be useless since whenever your touched the screen the camera would show up

WP7 is made for only 6 buttons... Volume Keys (2) Power, back, Search, Windows Key

Thats one of the suppose reasons why HD2 wasnt offically updated to WP7 besides the fact that it would cripple HD7 sales.. Microsoft wanted three buttons on front , Volume keys, Dedacated Camera key and power

You can remap them but your only limited by the WP7 default keys

can someone answer if this even possible ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Idhor Naergon:
Now you have 3 votes, and my vote is "I am ok with the ported buttons", here the answer... if you anter Market and hit HOME to SEARCH an app, how could you do this if the HD2 doesn't have a SEARCH button? Microsoft don't put a softkey in the Market for those who has not a WP7 device.

If you press CALL button to take a picture, how could you take a picture without a hardkey? I don't like this new app to the camera, I use Microsoft's.

Sorry man, the developers did what was necessary to make WP7 running on our devices, that's all.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
We are extremely fortunate that we even have WP7 running on our HD2s, and it's unbelievably amazing that it runs as good as it does. WP7 is very new and has barely been cracked open by devs yet... the ins and outs are not known like they are with WinMo which has been hacked and modified for years. Know one knows enough to make custom versions of WP7.

So basicly, what you're asking is impossible right now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dody:
sorry for the delay, i thought no one will care -i waited too much with no respond- any way, thanks for your reply no need to use the same camera app i posted i was just giving an example and i hope we have something proffissional soon if you are ok with call button to open the camera and no end call key i think you will be ok if you dont have search button or so i will , hoping find a soluation for searching on market specially microsoft is not going to provide activation key any more so we will not use the market from hd2 and thanks god we have a computer app for that

hope will be possible soon

can we move this to wp7 rom development ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Finalforce1111:
It was one of the reasons sure but not the main reasons.

Another reason is that the HD2 only supports 2 point multitouch and not 4 point, I have noticed that in a few apps/games I have downloaded in the marketplace.

It is true that it's not fair what Microsoft did but if you were on their place what had you done?

They are dependend on their partners like Lg, Samsung, HTC

Everyone is worth pure gold for them.

I can't imagine that HTC spends money for modifing the wp7 for HD2 what loses value every day (I think now it worths only 280€) when they can do the same for a new device they can get 600€ for that.

Especially Htc made it wrong because the new HD7 isn't equiped with enough strong hardware to be really better then the HD2.

In youtube some guys show that the HD2 is even faster then the HD7 which isn't at all any argument for htc do sell the HD7.

But the problem is that HTC is the most known (at my opinion) smartphone seller for windows phones/devices if they do something bad, then the people loose already the trust on other wp7 phones.

But to be honest I am really interested why the Hd2 is faster then the HD7, does anyone know why?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Are you kidding? This is not a development thread at all. WP7 will always only be a port for the HD2. By the time that there are tools and enough knowledge available to make a WP7 ROM specially made for HD2 from scratch and not a port, no developers will still be interested in even working with the HD2.

We will always be using a port on the HD2.

If this was posted in ROM development, you will have a lot of people flaming and saying it needs to be moved to general.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] oldegreybeard:
Lol troll much? Everyone in this section of the forum loves the HD2.

You obviously don't understand the limitations we have. Your Arab, so why not

Pay a pro developer to make you a full version rather than a port . Which has all

The mods you want. After all fur someone to do this means making a lot of time after

Work to do a lot more work.

Your choice is simple.

1) Quit complaining

2) Pay someone to do it

3) Learn to do it yourself.

While i agree with the 3 choices you provided, i think the rest of the message is a little OTT... might want to think about how your comments can easily be perceived to be racist...

My 2 cents on the buttons, is that the current implementation is the most logical of the choices, giving the best of options for actually using WP7.

If your really bugged by it then go by a sharpie and draw new pictures on the buttons...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] oldegreybeard:
i agree with you. But i happen to be half moroccan

which makes me half african/arab. Its an inside thing rather than anything else.

Also i dont know if its just me but i love the layout of the buttons. When i found out that my HD2 had a camera button i was rather happy tbh. Plus to answer calls all you do is swipe answer which itself looks pretty good.

thanks for the advice though i wrote this after a sleepless night

so no love for anyone after a bad night. But ill be more aware in future.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] acidangel111:
No , Actually I purchased my HD2 from Tmobile USA . They included a pamplet about the "upcoming windows phone" in the box. They told us at that time ( reason i purchased the device 3 months before the hd7 came out ) that the phone would be freely upgradable to windows phone 7 . Then about 3 weeks before the device came out , they announced it . Tmobile was told to tell customers the HD2 couldn't be upgraded. When in fact it certainly can . This is not a "port" per say as if something is different. Not so much , hardware buttons are different , but other than that , essentially the same processor . EXACT same hardware . Camera has been upgraded . Wooptedoo. That about sums it up . I am extremely dissapointed that I blew 449.99 for the HD2 last August ( August 2010 ) and it wasn't what they had promised ( free upgrade) . In fact the particular device went backwards . It runs slower than the HD2 running wp7 , and now theres no tethering natively ( that i have found ) nor is there a .xap ( new file type for wp7 ) with the HTC wifi router ( HTC themselves developed a wifi router for wm6 ) .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
They were never going to do it, there was some confusion over the matter, but if you had a piece of paper from a network or OEM that said you will definitely be able to upgrade to WP7 then hold them too it, the least they would have to do is give you an HD7 as a Replacement, and would likely take the HD2 back

personally i think that for a small period of time (as it wasnt the whole life cycle of the HD2, i was an early adopter and it was never mentioned) the HD2 was used for testing WP7, we know this because we have test drivers that lets us use WP7

But these are test drivers, they are not even complete, meaning the stopped using the HD2 for development, long before wp7 was even finished, probably about the same time as they got HD7 SKUs in.

I know it sucks but its common business sense, but as i said, if you have a piece of paper that says you will get upgraded to WP7 then take that too the OEM / Network who gave it to you, along with your original receipt, and hold them too it, but i'd expect them to take away the HD2 and give you an HD7.

as for the buttons, your going to have to make do with what we have, but you can change must of the buttons thanks YukiXDA so i dont really see what the issue is.

So since my coming here, i got the phone rooted and added a sense rom to it from virtous version 1.0.1, also its over clocked a lil bit

now the phone was never right since the get go with this... but what im wondering is if i do a factory reset, what will happen? since i didnt save any image before, and have nothing to revert back too.... will it revert back to the stock htc desire z rom, or will it just reset back to a proper version of the virtous rom??

any help/info would be great

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNewGuy:
If you wipe data/factory reset it will revert back to.... nothing. And stay and the HTC screen. Just DLa new ROM and flash through recovery(CWM). After you wipe data/factory rest... before you reboot.

Don't forget to wipe your dalvic cache aswell.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Actually, I thought a factory reset simply wiped your data and cache partitions (so you lose all of your downloaded apps as well as all phone settings). Everything else should be left untouched (as in the phone will boot back to Virtuous 1.0.1 as if it were freshly installed).

Also, the dalvik-cache is stored on the data partition (unless you or the ROM you are using decided to move it), so wiping data will wipe it anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kneedraggin101:
ummm ok so which is the correct one here... i was under the impression that the last post here is what would happen... it would revert to a fresh installed Virtuous rom....

I know the problems im having must be from me not doing a full wipe when i installed it... i just needed to back up some stuff before i was able to do that,

but since i have done all that, I can clean the phone and start fresh, to hope all my stuff will work...

but can someone pls confirm which is the right information here
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesg631:
On my g2 when I did a wipe it went back to the stock rom that's on the g2 perm rooted I can't say for your phone though the best thing is to download a new rom system and cache wipe and then install a new rom
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanth:
Factory reset only wipes the applications/personal data. The system partition (whatever rom you installed) stays there and it'll just reboot as if it was the first time ever.

So if you have a rooted stock rom, it'll go back to how you got it (probably non-rooted) and if you have any version of virtuous that'll still be there etc and will boot like the first time.

Factory reset also DOESN'T touch the bootloader, radio, radio, s-on/s-off or anything else, just the user data. Hope this helps to clarify!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kneedraggin101:
yes it does, im hoping this will fix all the problems im having with my phone....

and just to confirm, a factory reset with the virturous rom installed, will reset my phone to the way the rom is ment to me, with zero possible overlaps from not doing a wipe when i upgraded??

So a "fresh" copy of the virtuous rom will be in place, and it will be like a brand new phone again.... then i just re add everything i need too/want too
[Nook Color General] eNkrypt:
I flashed my nookColor over to the 0.6.8 and everything has been working alright, the only problem is that tethering doesn't work proberly. Any suggestions/tips to get it working better? It appears to be cutting in and out.

Edit: Now that I am on my computer I can go into a bit more detail. Sorry was at the doctors office.

Anyways, what happens is I turn on tethering with my Moto Droid and then on my nook I click on settings>wireless and choose my SSID. It says "Obtaining IP" then after about 2 minutes it says "Testing Connection..." then after a few seconds it says "Connected to the internet.

The problem is, when I try to play some games that require the internet, it will say "Establishing connection to server..." then times out. However, when I try to get on the internet using the browser everything works fine.

When I play the SAME game on the nooted stock 1.0.1 the game successfully connects to the game server over the tethered network.

Any reason it could be doing this?

The game I am trying to play is "Pocket Legends"

Second, I think I found the apk... the very one that's shown in the video. I have it on my phone, and it looks quite official. It is a lite version, though, probably the free version that will be released once the game goes up on the market. I don't know what it's compatible with, though. I have it running on my Evo, CM7 RC2.
