[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raviya:
I need help on this issue regarding HD2.

The phone memory is so low that most of the time I have to clean the RAM (using clean RAM application), or as earlier advised by some expert on this HD forums that I should hard reset once every few months to clear my phone.

The issue is of application data like GPS locations, Footprints, etc which cant be backed up and each time u dont go to same place to collect all those information. How do we solve this problem ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center wich ever one you have to use, to browse tbrough your HD2 and make backup copies of ygem on your computer. Remember where they were at as after the reset you just copy tgem back to that location and you are good to go.

Hi

This is my first post and I'm admittedly new to this so forgive me if I come across as a bit of a n00b.

I've been considering whether to root my HTC Desire for a while now. One of the main reasons is to bypass HTC Sense as its stopping me from doing a number of things. One being installing a Wii Classic Wireless game pad I want to use on the PSX4 Droid emulator. So hopefully this will fix this problem. Another issue I'm hoping it fixes is the ability to blue tooth mp3 files to other phones, which HTC has blocked. Does anyone know if this is possible with root?

I'm going to use the Unrevoked method as I've found a step by step guide and also a video, which seems pretty straight forward. Unless anyone else knows of a better method?

Lastly if I was to root my phone is it possible to unroot it?

Thanks

Yes you can root and unroot, but Rotting the phone makes the phone open to all the cool things you will want to flash on the phone. THAT is why we got Android phones
[General Questions and Answers] then00b:
Do it. The Epic is my first Android phone. I'm an experienced NOC Analyst, been using and working in Linux and Unix for years as part of my day to day. I cannot BELIEVE how fun these phones are...if you're a techy gearhead type and you just can't leave anything alone, jump in with both feet. I promise you'll learn it fast and you'll never again wonder why people do it. Just follow the instructions and be patient, the rewards will be great.

ROOT IT MAKES FOR A WAY BETTER PHONE MY MOM EVEN HAS A ROOTED PHONE! :p
[General Questions and Answers] lainzee:
I was a little hesitant to root at first because I had heard horror stories about bricked phones, etc, and was under the initial impression that it was only something super-techy people could do. However, I looked up the instructions and was like "oh, okay, I can do that" and really, as long as you can follow directions, you will be fine. And even if you do mess something up, usually you aren't the first person who has done that particular thing and you can still find help on these forums.

You can definitely unroot it and it will be as if you never rooted it at all. I've rooted and then unrooted an Incredible and an X (after I nearly bricked the X) and you would never know the difference from stock. The Incredible I brought it for repair with Verizon and got a new phone with no question from the the tech.
[General Questions and Answers] Zammo76:
Thanks Lainzee for the informative reply, that's helping make up my mind. Are you able to now blue tooth MP3 files?

Also will I still be able to use widgets if I root my phone? I say this because I used a custom launcher and it took away some of my widgets and also app shortcuts.
[General Questions and Answers] doom_71:
Do you mean the sense widgets?

Wether you are able to use some widgets depends on the rom you use or if you use an anlternative launcher. When you use a rom with sense in it, you are able to use the htc widgets. If you use a rom without sense or an alternative launcher,you can't use the sense widgets. I rooted my desire the minute i had it. It opens so much possibillities and options you don't have when not rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] TheKaptone:
after reading different threads on how to root the phone I was confused but it is really quite easy and the phone rungs better now and seems to have a much better battery because all the rubbish is not there slowing things down

Go For it
[General Questions and Answers] Zammo76:
I do like some of the widgets, for instance I find the calender really useful. I work shifts and its easy for me to look at it and work out when I'm next in work. I'd be gutted if I lost this function, plus some of the other more useful widgets.

I'm definitely going to run a ROM without HTC Sense, so will I be able to run any widgets?

I currently have the following:

HTC Clock/ weather

HTC Calender,

HTC Music,

HTC News,

HTC People,

Android Google Search,

Android YouTube,

Android Facebook,

Android Power Control,

Android Transdroid,

Android Tweetcaster,

Am I right in thinking I'd loose the ability to run any HTC widgets, but the others would be fine?

Lol to rooting of your girl friends phone. She's probably like "why have I got a ninja icon on the apps menu?".

If I do root my Desire can I have the original HTC Sense UI and a Vanilla 2.2 ROM on my phone. Then just switch between the two as and when I want too?

Rooting will not remove anything from your device. It just gives you the possibility to remove anything.

[General Questions and Answers] Zammo76:
Just because if you need to return your phone for repair they'd say that because you rooted it your warranty is void.

Regardless of that I have now rooted my phone and have Superuser permission!

Strangely when I click on this icon it just shows a blank screen though I can toggle the preferences if I press menu. Is this OK, or should I have some icons when I go to Superuser Permission?

My next step is going to be to install a custom ROM, most probably a Vanilla 2.2 one. I guess I do this at the ClockworkMod Recovery Screen?
[General Questions and Answers] djgallis:
rooting IS FUN ... as long as you READ first then follow instructions to the letter

make sure you have everything required ....

jailbreak iphone was my 1st ever sort of rooting process ... that was a few years ago ... 1st android was the CLIQ xt it was malfunctioning so i rooted it and it moved much faster ............. that just fueld my intrigued to root more

now on the SAMSUNg epic and ive done multiple root and back to stock ........ now im using

currently:: viperROM SyNerGy 5.0 ........ smooth fast productive .......

AGAIN READ CORRECTLY and look for what BUGS they might have to choose the best ROM after root
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Superuser will be blank until you grant something SU Permissions. Download a root app - Ad Free, Droidwall, Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup Root, anything - and when you open it or do something root-only in the app, you'll get a popup from Superuser. Check "always allow" or whatever the checkbox says (can't remember right now) and choose "allow". Now when you open Superuser, you'll see that app with a little green dot next to it.

I would suggest reading everything you can & make sure you have a clear understanding before flashing. You need to follow the steps precisely to avoid killing your phone. You'll also want to remember to backup your apps & data with Titanium Backup (Root), and do a nandroid backup via recovery before flashing.

On another note - your warranty is void now, but it is possible to unroot & return your phone to stock. Be sure to do this if you need to take it in.

And of course, enjoy!

I was relatively new to cracking/rooting/jailbraking whatever you want to call it. I did it for the first time and I havent looked back.... People who are worried about warranty, there is a guide that shows you got to revert it back to stock with no trace of anyone rooting it so it's not that much of a problem...

Rooting Samsung Epic 4G on Froyo 2.2.1?

HELP!

I'm still on official Sprint 2.1-update1 so that I can utilize Z4 root to run Wireless Tether.

My wife's phone got the 2.2.1 update some time ago which doesn't allow Z4root and/or Wireless Tether to work any more.

Now, I've finally had the official 2.2.1 OTA update pushed down to my phone and I keep having to hit "Install Later" every time my phone wakes up in order to stay on 2.1 (ugh!).

I've searched the forums but can't find a specific answer to these two questions, and was hoping someone out there could help me:

1. What is the best way to temporarily root official Froyo 2.2.1 on a Samsung Epic 4G, preferably without having to hook up to a computer?

2. Is there any way to run Wireless Tether or a similar program on Froyo 2.2.1 on a Samsung Epic 4G?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Galaxy 3 General] santhosh5639:
yes you are right..... developing 3d drivers is the real challenge for the developers.......
[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
But the real problem its not development, its hardware related, whe dont have a dedicated gpu so theres no use to make 3d drivers, frist of all it would be very difficult to program processor functions cuz when you dont have gpu you have to use the processor's computing power to render the 3d graphics making the 3d games slower.

I know that you would say "but Galaxy Spica (I5700) had its 3d drivers updated" That's right but dont forget that its processor is way different from ours and has a gpu, and obviously the SO had 3d drivers, the developers just updated and changed the stock 3d drivers in order to improve speed and compability, its harder when you have to rewrite entirely.

Maybe some day we can get our Apollo drivers updated but dont expect too much
[Defy General] AnnieBal:
Running into the next problems when playing MP3 through my PC's speakers through A2DP with my stock Eclair ROM 2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB:

PC Win7 X64, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR stick Belkin F8T012, Widcomm Stack 6.3.0.7900.

Paired the Defy with my PC. The Defy shows as MB525 in "Devices and Printers" when I double-click on the icon, the properties appear. From here, I can initiate the "Music and Audio" connection. The Defy's music now plays through my PC's speakers, and I can control the Defy through my PC (pause, back/forward etc.) with a little window that appears above my system tray. So far so good: splendid audio! Now when I end the connection from my PC in the MB525 property page, the Defy starts playing through it's own speaker again, as it should. Perfect. Now I am able to successfully reconnect in the same way once more, but when I disconnect again, the Defy thinks it is still connected and stays silent. After a while the Defy then reboots (no "M" screen, but showing "android"). Then, I can connect for two more times before this starts over.

Is anybody else experiencing this behaviour?

What I think is also strange: I cannot initiate the A2DP connection from my Defy, have to start that from my PC. With my WinMobile phone the A2DP setup was working as it should, no phone reboots and able to initiate from the phone. I tried with older Widcomm stacks, but the same things happened.

Now I tried the same thing with Bluesoleil 8.0.338.0 which I bought as well. No errors, connection initiates from the phone, BUT: no audio could be heard from my PC's speakers during the connection. I selected the correct sound output option, my PC's sound card. In other words: works perfect but no sound.

With both bluetooth stacks, everything else works ok: FTP, Headset profile (can hear audio through my PC speakers now)....

Can someone help me stopping the android reboots with the Widcomm stack, or tell me how to get A2DP going with Bluesoleil?

Apart from this issue, the Defy is a great phone I think! :):)

EDIT:

Tested the Bluesoleil with ISSC and CSR chipped BT dongles on X64 and X86 as well, everything but A2DP seems to work. Connection between the Defy and Bluetooth stick seems to be OK, but no sound is heard.... Cannot test the other sticks with Widcomm, since this stack is dedicated to Broadcom chipsets nowadays...
[Defy General] AnnieBal:
After struggling with this for four days, I have been able to solve the problems. I tested with Toshiba bluetooth stack and uninstalled this as well because it did not solve the A2DP problem. Then I uninstalled two devices that were present in the Win 7 "devices and printers" folder, a bluetooth GPS and another PC. After this I reinstalled Widcomm 6.3.0.7900. After pairing I am able to use all of the Bluetooth features of my Defy, including A2DP, FTP and Remote control!! I can even initiate the A2DP connection from the Defy like I used to do with my Windows Mobile phone. Thanks for studying this thread anyway!

Regards, André

From the little of this game I have played, it is worth every penny. I didn't even think twice about this purchase. I almost bought it at its full price, but couldn't bring myself to do it. So if any of you were holding out for a lower price, at $2.99, it is probably going to be a must buy.
[HD2 General] chuaws:
im going to send back my hd2 for my screen fix. i have installed back to stock rom with 2.15 radio and uninstalled the HPSL, will that void the warranty? coz i forgot the version of stock radio already. One more thing, if i installed wrong SPL version will it void the warranty as well? thanks for the help......
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The best thing to do is find the official ROM for your HD2 and flash it. Seeing as you said you have reverted back to SPL already flashing the official ROM for your HD2 will give you the correct Radio, ROM, and SPL version. Then you know you will have no warranty problems. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 just download the office ial update from T-Mobile.com, you can. type in T-Mobile HTC HD2 update in Google and you will find it. If you have another model HD2 like the EU or any other model besides the T-Mobile HD2 just go to HTC.com and find hour official ROM there, you will have to type in your serial number to find the correct one for your HD2. Look under the battery cor your serial number.
[HD2 General] chuaws:
i had downloaded the stock rom from htc website using my serial number. when it comes to HTC logo, it shows that my radio version is 2.15 which is i installed it for android nand. it didn't revert back my radio version. and SPL version will not change unless u change it right? i not quite understand. help please. my stock rom is RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship. Thanks for reply.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
The Stock ROM flashes the correct radio SPL version, and removes the custom HSPL.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
That rom comes with 2.15 radio which is why you think it didn't change. If that rom flashed and works, your rom and radio are fine. To check spl, look in bootloader. If it says anything other than 3.03.0000 then use hspl4 to set 3.03.0000
[HD2 General] chuaws:
Currently i am using SPL 1.42 HSPL to intall my stock rom. I forgot which SPL version is my original SPL, i mean SPL 1.42 or SPL 1.66. How do i know which one is the stock SPL?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Spl is specific to the rom. 3.14 roms require spl 3.03.0000 which is why you should use hspl4 to set it. (NOT 3.03.hspl)

If you had flashed that rom from SD it would have set spl 3.03.0000 at the same time, but you used USB, so next step is manually set matching spl.
[HD2 General] chuaws:
ok.. i understand now. thanks for everything..

First of all: Yes i searched for similar topics but did not found one discussing the same problem :/

If updated my Galaxy S (rooted) 3 or 4 days ago.

Since this update AdFree is not blocking ads anylonger (e.g. Angry Birds and so on). AdFree has su-rights and tells me that the Hosts file is up to date (and i can see it in the "system/etc/" folder).

I don't know if this can help:

[General Questions and Answers] Livingsilver94:

[General Questions and Answers] aktivalux:
Yeah sure this would work. But AdFree would be an "easier" solution due to the fact that i don't have to turn on/off the Internet a hundred times every day ;)

So please refer to the original question: what have i to do to make adfree work again? I even don't not why it stopped working :S Is it caused by the new update?!
[General Questions and Answers] jon_yarbrough:
did you happen to do a backup before you did the update? if so, just restore. other than doing a factory reset, i don't know how to uninstall an update or if it's even possible.

No unfortunately not. Well I made a backup but this did not include apps or even the Firmware so: no this would not be a possibility to solve the problem =/

Hi all,

Would post this in the dev forum but don't have the post count as yet.

I've been running CM7 nightlies since #12 or so on my G2.

I noticed starting with nightly #21 that my signal icon is now always showing 3G when previously it was showing H. Status reports that mobile network type is UMTS. However, I'm showing consistent download speeds of 4-6 Mbps, so I'm assuming I am in reality enjoying HSPA+.

I tried wiping everything and installing the nightly from scratch to no avail. Has anyone seen similar behavior?
[G2 and Desire Z General] killerbee12345:
not really what you clould try is dailing *#*#4636#*#* - telephone information - dropdown list selecting wcdma only. And have a look if it changes to H
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
Technically, HSPA+ doesn't kick in until 7.2mbps+, but I get what you mean. I am currently on nightly 23, but I still have the H icon. Maybe it's something on the network side and not the ROM/phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nethead25:
Thanks for the WCDMA Only tip -- since 3G is still WCDMA, it didn't make a difference, as best as I can tell.

I ended up wiping and flashing back to RC2, where my H icon promptly returned. Interestingly, upload and download speeds are about the same as (actually a bit less than) what they were when the icon was stuck at 3G in nightly 23.

I'll wait a couple nightlies and try again and see if the issue recurs.

Thanks to both of you guys for your help!
