How do I know whether Vulnerable recovery has flashed properly or not??? Any way to test it??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Well, if you have AOR set up on your SD card and you're able to load it, then for sure it's vulnerable.

Which problem? Bricked device? :confused:

I've add everything I wanted to the guide! Feel free to read it and if you have some questions you can ask them here!

Holy crap... you linked to 3 of my stuffs near the top! :D

When did you do that?

And congratulations! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
I've added those links today, I think they are great! It's your work so I wouldn't include them in my thread.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I thanked you in the OP first LOL
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
A small suggestion

Most of the custom roms / AOSP roms have OC built into it, meaning it is already overclocked. All you need to do is to edit the 10overclock file in the /system/etc/init.d folder to get it to your liking,

For stock roms though, it is not easy, especially the latest ones. Milestone overclock does not work and we need to use Androidiani OR to overclock. This is where it is a bit different from your OP. To overclock stock roms, this is the procedure to be followed.

Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu - > Install conservative / Interactive

Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Menu Overclock -> Choose your speed

Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu -> Install Mods Autostarts ( very important. otherwise will not work )

Also the vsel values for higher OC ( 1000Mhz and more are a bit low, so people using it experience reboots ) . If you want to use 1000Mhz and above OC values, you can take a look at this thread on how to change vsel values.

IF you want to know different vsel values for different OC's, take a look at this post, thanks Zeppe. Note that it may be the same for everyone, so you need to play with the values till you get it to your liking.

Just for info.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Nice heads up.

Even though I've always had a custom rom installed, I've always used AOR's overclocking.

So another bit of info on that:

AOR doesn't load the smartass governor or cpufreq_stats (I

had to

get CPUStats working and it was worth the effort because it's such an awesome little app. Kudos to amossam.

So as the final 2 lines in 71_overclock*.sh, put the lines:

Again, this only needs to be added if you want to use Smartass governor and/or load cpufreq_stats.

I believe SetCPU also uses cpufreq_stats for displaying "Time In State".

edit: This simple addition to 71_overclock should work. But if not, I had made up an OC install script to be run for AOR's Run Script menu. This includes the setting of properties for cpufreq_smartass.ko and cpufreq_smartass.ko (in the overclock*.sh file)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
I will implement this as soon as possible! Thanks for the info!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
The only problem is that cpufreq_stats.ko and cpufreq_smartass.ko are not there in /system/lib/modules in AOR, so they won't load. It will work in custom roms because the modules are already available. In fact you don't need to do any of these for Custom ROMS.

A snapshot of the /openrecovery/mod/system/lib/modules folder in AOR.

I am working to create a option for stock roms. Once i test it out and get permission from Azhad/Luca, i'll post it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Oh yep.. my folder shows the same thing :P

Common Issue with flashing

Thanks for this incredible post. I just completed rooting my Milestone using this guide.

I did face a problem. RSDLite was stuck at "Please manually power up your phone". And the phone was not responding to any inputs and button presses. For a while I thought I bricked my phone. But after searching for a while, I found the solution:

1. Unplug the phone from the USB . DO NOT CLOSE RSD LITE

2. Remove the battery for a few seconds and reinsert it.

3. Power up the phone into the bootloader ( Power + Dpad-up)

4. Connect the phone to the USB port. RSD should pick up from where it left off, and soon display a PASS message.

If anyone faces the this problem, the above steps should complete the flash.

Guys, I would appreciate if you could help me.

I just got my phone back from repair. It came with the APAC version of froyo. I tried to boot into recovery by holding camera button as usuall, but that didnt work. Then I did it using the x key and now Im looking at the "!" sign and cant get past it by holding power up and camerabutton. What do I do?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
If the camera button doesn't work, then they should have fixed that when they were repairing it.

Or does it work and you get an error after selecting the update.zip?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] evenelia:
I can take pictures with it, but it only has one level. It is not possible to just press it half way down.

Just wanted to say, HUGE props on this guide.

I have been an XDA user for many years. I am quite competent with technology and flashing phones, but obviously every handset is different and there are always new procedures.

Most of XDA's guides refer to other threads throughout, which in turn refer you to more threads and so on.

This guide contained everything you need in one place, without having to trawl through several 100 page threads - something which is poor practice when you could easily miss something and brick your phone.

Run Motorola Milestone Faster!? Did it by Mistake!

There is a way to make your motorola milestone mind bogglingly faster. I have this phone to and i did this. Well it was just an experiment to make it dead, but it didn't go dead and instead started working more faster. Get any gingerbread CM7 based rom which has app2sd support (I use Iceandfire CM7 ROM). Once you're on CM7 gingerbread rom, go to setting > Cyanogenmod Settings > Application > Check "Allow application moving" and then select the second option which says Install location > Here select "External" Now download Jrizzill MOD v3.0 : Now reboot your phone into recovery and get into open recovery. Now update your phone using the jrizzill mod and clear dalvik cache and cache. Do not clear data. Now reboot the phone. Get a simple task killer and end all the applications running. Get AWD Launcher (I use AWD Launcher EX) and set it as default. Move all the applications that you are to move to sdcard. Reboot your phone once again and you're done. You will notice that before installing Jrizzill MOD there were few inbuilt apps which you were not able to move to the sdcard. Hope this is useful. :)

I really dont have any idea how it is working faster but it is!! It was a mere accident!! :)

Well if i have posted in a wrong section, Mod, please move it to the right section. I tried this on purpose after the first time and it works! The phone works faster even when only 30MB RAM is available. So might be it can help some one here... :)

Hi

Ive deleted the sense lockscreen apk from my rom (unlocks fine with vanilla lockscreen now)

but when phone rings whilst locked, the sense lockscreen still shows.

is there either an APK or some other file i can delete so the phone will show vanilla lockscreen when it rings?

thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] radu_wizu:
Extract your ROM's com.resource.apk file from the system folder and inside you will find a folder named res. In that res folder search for anything that has "lock" in its name and replace those files with what you see fit (if you just delete them you may not be able to answer the phone:D ). The files i mentioned should be in /res/drawable-hpdi .
[Desire Themes and Apps] InspectorFrost:
Nice work, soldier

Just what i needed to know

Worked a treat

[Desire Themes and Apps] ShirazSuleman:
So what exactly did you replace the files with?

I would like to have the same done to my phone.
[Desire Themes and Apps] radu_wizu:
You can replace them with a lot of things. If you want a large choice,just get the files ffrom a Sense HD rom and pick from there, if not you can basically put anything you like in there as long as you keep the original names.

[Droid X General] superbay:
I just got this problem recently and out of nowhere.

When i plug it into computer or charger with the cable, the screen is unresponsive but when i unplug it, it acts normally. But now it sometimes happens even when i'm not charging it. Sometimes when i pres the power button to unlock, it's not responsive AT ALL. I have to turn off the screen again and turn it on again so that it can be unlocked.

Any of you people know why this is happening?

I have read some thread in HD2 section that this is caused by the broken Gsensor. Is it the same with mine?

Also, I had almost similar issue with my HTC Desire once where sometimes the touchscreen recognized two touches while I only touched it with only one finger. It was then cleared when i change the ROM to MIUI and only MIUI (this also occured and solved with MIUI too with my friend's Droid1).

I want to know whether it's software or hardware issue and how to solve the problem. I already flash another ROM but it's still the same. Can it be solved by flashing sbf? Thanks

I've just bought on Ebay an HTC Desire HD New.

I've read some threats and I'm concerned about battery, is it so bad?

I have an HTC touch HD and I like it, but I think Desire HD will be a great upgrade, do you agree?

I want to test my new HTC (I dont want to be tricked) on hardware, is there any tool that can diagnostic me the hardware and search for any problem? Because I've 14 days to sent it back....

Thanks

Should I "install" new ROMs? In my TOUCH HD I have energy ROMs and they are very good.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blinkydamo:
When the phone arrives just use it, dont try and install any new roms or radios. Just get used to the phone and how it works/doesn't work.

Whilst your getting used to the phone have a read on how to s-off the HBoot and radio, root the phone and install new roms. Once you have all the info and the phone is going well, you can start enjoying yourself.

You should know very quickly if there is something wrong with the phone, but if you need any info or help just slap another post on here and people will be more then happy to help.

hi guys

yesterday i flashed my radio + rom on my DHD for the first time (revolution 3.0) , everything went smooth - until this morning... noticed a 10 +- sec delay on each action i do on the phone, was really slow - so i decided to restart it (power button -> restart), since then - it won't get past the loading screen where it says "DHD" in a green font, and "quietly brilliant" under it - i've tried removing the battery but no luck - it's just stuck on that screen.

i can get into the bootloader menu but nothing else.

any help? :(

thank you
[Desire HD General] c_felge:
Try to restore an older build via CWM and flash your desired ROM again.

Did you wipe correctly? Coming from an older build and just updating to a newer one a full wipe is mostly not necessary but advised if any problems occure.

I allways wipe cache and dalvik before updating.

"Gingerbread" themed:

Download...

This is the Dialer from the JPF, and should work with JPM, i haven't tested it out, but it should work.

Just replace the apk with the one in /system/app/

Close dialer before you do this, and after you have replaced the file, start the dialer

[7 Mozart General] otech:
Hi all.

Not having a WM or Android device around, and wanting to create a gold card for my Mozart, I managed to put together a bit of software using some resources from the web and made an application that appears to do just this.

You basically just insert your SD card into the laptop card reader, run the app as admin, and click Read CID.

Note: IT MUST BE A LAPTOP CARD READER THAT IS NOT VIA A USB ROOT DEVICE - USB CARD READERS ARE NO GOOD

Requirements:

Well, at this stage just give it a go on as many laptops as you can find until it works, and post back what did and didn't work for you.

It seems about a 40% chance it will work, so try on a couple if it doesnt at first.

It will return it pre-reversed and ready for the Gold Card website - and the number works.

I have already successfully created a gold card using the number provided by the tool!

Download from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/452275274/GoldCardHelper.exe

Sorry for the delay all, I was hoping to have permission from the author of the code I modified, but he has'nt replied for over a week.

So instead, I placed a link to the source of the code (a freely viewable blog) on the application itself.

@OTech, no good here, Win7pro, 64 bit, Toshiba laptop with built in SD card reader. Used a 512 MB micro SD in a regular sd adapter, "no sd card found on a compatible device"
[7 Mozart General] nayato:
I've tried your and original code and it looks like NativeMethods.DeviceIoControl does not actually update SffdiskQueryDeviceProtocolData's instance leaving GUID in it empty => isSD returns false for actual SD card..
[7 Mozart General] nayato:
here's what original author commented on his tool:

"Works only with SD cards plugged into a reader attached directly to the pci bus, it doesn't work with usb readers, you need admin rights for the call, it needs to be compiled for x86 instead of AnyCPU, it's flaky..."

I was trying on my hp 2740p and apparently card reader isn't on pci bus. I gave it a shot on Win7x86 on Samsung Q35 (3 years old laptop) and it worked on it just as expected.
[7 Mozart General] otech:
This is crazy, I developed this on a toshiba with x64.

I also have another tester for whom it worked straight away.
[7 Mozart General] otech:
Really?!

Thats bizarre if it worked and your reader isn't directly on pci. From what the original author wrote, the USB root device would receive the call instead of the reader.

So it produced a CID for you? Did it work? Was it 128bit?
