Weird problem - just for your info (be aware)

Hi! Just to share what happened to me recently.
My Legend is now sent to service. Don't know exactly what went wrong, but anyways.. I rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Been installing and trying out some ROMs ju find "the one" for me (I'm not new to this, been using rooted Magic and Hero earlier). Finally, I installed a ROM with busybox..so far so good. Then I rebooted my phone - FAIL! It didn't wake up again!
Finally I managed to reinstall a ROM by running "step1" from unlockr's "how to root a legend"-Guide.. But the phone complained about me removing the SD-card. Figured, maybe it was because of unlockr's (Pauls??) testimage, so i ran the official RUU 1.31 and it installed fine (it didn't before). But no, sd-card was still "removed". tried a secont sd-card, same problem. Bought a new 16GB Class 10 card (previous cards were 2GB/8GB class 4) - No go. So - the conclusion is - my sd-card reader is gone. Not to worry, warranty will take care of it - but has this happened to others? If it has, maybe busybox isn't such a great idea on the legend for now.

Hi, nothing wrong with your phone, just an glitch in software that controls usb.
Happen twice for me after flash/root
quite easy to fix with adb and fastboot and terminal software.
se other post and howtos for usb bricked
just make sure that you got same HTC_xxx number to match your device.

Oh, thanks.. then maybe I should try it before I send it in I actually read the posts before, but I didn't get how to hexedit the file :s I need the how-to for dummies maybe you can help me with that part?
Edit: I can try this later, need to re-root my phone first.. I have my goldcard at home, I'll do it later tonight (I get off work in 6 hours). I'd appreciate if you could help me with the hexedit thou. Now I get "INFOCID is HTC__Y13"
Edit2: since I no longer have root, is it even possible to root the pgone with the sd-controller disabled? :s
Edit3: This is gonna be a loooong post. sorted out the hexedit anyway, I'll se what I can manage :9 Thanks

Problem solved! Thank you for your help! Got back root, now it's just the flashing part left The problem was, I couldn't see my Sd card - at all. but that was easily fixed with the help of this forum! You're great!

I´m glad to help

Reflash HTC Wildfire, 3 Net Locked

Hey Guys, My HTC wildfire is net locked to 3, i have tried several times to install a custom rom via unrevoked 3 tool.
This is the process i went through:
downloaded rom(s) - have tried several
copied to SDcard
ran unrevoked 3
backed up
reset to factory settings + then wiped cache partition
install from SDcard > navigated to zipped rom
installation flashed up for a second then quit, does this everytime on any rom
reboot
checked software name everytime and is only coming up saying 2.1-update 1
any ideas on how i can get either unlocked 2.1 ROM or 2.2 ROM installed? is there anything i am doing wrong / missing
many thanks
w1ngs

You need to first debrand your WF. You do this by creating a Gold card.
I did mine by the Modaco method.
Google debrand wildfire and you'll see.
Good Luck

Ok nevermind, have found it, many thnks, now sitting with my debranded phone, flash time

Hmmh, still the same result when i came to flash the ROM. It opens then quits a second later. I now have a debranded phone.
Any ideas?

Well I can't offer you a solution but I can tell you that my Wildfire works on 3 without any need for the gold card method. Make sure you have added 3 network settings in wireless network settings. Sometimes custom ROMs don't pick this up.
Also, at the risk of sounding insulting, make sure you have paid your bill. I thought I had my bill set to direct debit but either the 3 customer service goons failed at setting this up or my bank wouldn't allow it. So for a couple of days I was thinking that my custom ROM wasn't working but actually it was 3 had cut me off.

just a small point here but a fairly substantial one, i am talking about flashing the wildfire to a different ROM, not having network issues, your comment was unhelpful as perhaps you did not read the original post. Thanks

Can anyone help?

Try reflashing as I had that problem once. And try a different memory card as I have killed 3 mem cards upto now!

HTC Unroot?

Hi,
I rooted my phone with latest version of Unrevoked but have noticed some strange things with phone since.
Can someone please tell me how i unroot the phone?
I got a HTC Wildfire Vodaphone UK. It's only a few days old and it's causes power on problems since rooting, really desperate to unroot the phone.
I have only rooted the phone and NOT installed any roms or anything, after rooting the phone i made a nandroid backup, maybe i need to do something with this backup to revert phone back to how it was when i bought it a few days ago?
Thanks for any help really desperate to unroot
MR

There is no way to just "unroot". The only way is to reflash the phone with a totally stock software from a RUU package or similar. Search around these forums, and there are plenty of threads asking exactly the same thing as you, and these should be able to give you an idea of other people's experiences.
I am however, intrigued to find what "power on" problems you're getting. Are you referring to the bug that exists whilst charging the phone in an off state? Whilst you are rooted, before you go the extent of flashing an RUU image, it may be worth trying a custom rom (Wildpuzzle 2.1 is quite nice as a stepping stone from stock) and seeing if your bugs continue. Also, try updating ClockworkMod via ROMManager.

Hi,
The problem I am having is when the phone is connected to laptop and is set to charge only and I turn the phone off I cannot then turn the phone back on unless I remove the battery first and cable. I used the latest version of Unrevoked so thought I would have had the latest ClockWorkMod anyway. I have looked on the forum by searching. When you say RRU do you mean a ROM from somewhere like shipped-roms? As I cannot find a Vodafone UK ROM. I decided not to Install Wildpuzzle because of the current existing bugs. I still cannot find a thread that shows me how to unroot my phone so any help in finding a Vodafone UK RRU than can be updated like normal ie get future updates from Vodafone would be great.
Please can someone help? i did search before making this thread but could not find what i was looking for.
If there is definately no Vodafone UK ROM online somewhere maybe someone can tell me which is the lastest genuine ROM from HTC that can also be updated from HTC in the future ?
Is this the one i need below?
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.3 5.19.25_release_151892_signed
I see one on shipped-roms for Vodafone but has SPA in it so not sure if that means it's spanish. I am in the UK
Would rather a Vodafone UK one thou.
Thanks
MR
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

There is an app "z4root" . In this app is an option to un-root. I didn`t test this function but I hope it works.
Maybe you need to install busybox before you can unroot.The easiest way to install busybox is to install the app "titanium backup" first than klick in this app on the "Problems Button" for auto-installing the busybox.

[Q] upgrading to Gingerbread

Hello,
I am a newcomer to the Forum and I would be grateful if I could benefit from the experience and the knowledge of the experts.
I have an unlocked HTC G1 phone. I use the ATT network.
I would like to install Gingerbread.
Could somebody give me the direction where I would find a step by step guide to replace my actual Donut version with Gingerbread.
Here are the specs of the phone:
Model number Android Dev Phone 1
Firmware version 1.6
Baseband version 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.261
Kernel version 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37
[email protected]#19
Build number DRC83

well if its a dev phone it should already be rooted so ignore those steps, check and see your radio/spl (power on holding camera button)
your answer here will determine the next step
chances are you need to follow this link _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
once this is complete follow the steps here _ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
if you need more help let me know!

Thank you very much for your reply.
Unfortunately my knowledge in this field is infinitesimal small.
That is why I am looking for a step by step guide.
Maybe I put myself in the wrong forum for my level and my needs. My apologies.
The only thing I know is that my phone does not need to be rooted.
Thank you again for your advice and your time.
Happy New Year to all of us

if your not finding what you are looking for ill see what i can do
first off i need to know your radio/spl - this will help me determine what you need to do next
just type in everything off the screen that will be rainbow colored or have three androids on skateboards
to check the screen, power off your phone, then hold down the power (red button) and the camera button at the same time. tell me what it says...
after you write all of that down press the green, red and menu buttons all at once and the phone will reboot normally.

gunner1937: There is a link I found in another thread for an older version of ROM Manager which will work on Android 1.6. Since you're rooted with a Google ADP phone this might be all you need. But I would go in the menu and do a factory reset.
I upgraded my T-Mobile G1 from stock Android 1.6 to CyanogenMod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) three days ago following the instructions on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
I will stick with it for now. It came bundled with the ROM Manager app.
In the past week I've researched upgrading to Gingerbread and just recently there may be a bug uncovered where the phone no longer goes into Deep Sleep mode. This means the battery usage is not ideal compared to other earlier ROMs. It turns out virtually all Gingerbread Dream ROMs use some code by ezTerry, so they may all have this issue. So.. I think I will hold off on going to a flavor of Gingerbread until I get more info on this possible bug.
In your case I believe I'd do the factory reset, then load this ROM Manager onto it. You'd need to copy the ROM Manager.apk file to your phone's SD card. I would backup the contents of your SD card onto your PC just so you have any files/songs you want, and then format it with FAT32. You can format the SD card from a Settings menu on the phone if you like. I think there's another setting in the menu to allow installing a program from unknown sources. Find that and check it in order to be able to manually install an app like this. Or I dunno, that may not be in the ADP phone. Next you'd need to get on the Android market and get a file manager to be able to dig into the SD card's file directory and install the APK file. I used a text editor called TxtPad Lite which included a usable file manager. Another one is called Astro File Manager. With something like that you can browse the file system to be able to look at the files on your SD card and install ROM Manager. You'd just find the APK file and tap on it.
So then you're reset, got the ROM Manager app that will work on Android 1.6, then you can use it. You want to let it install the ClockworkMod Recovery first thing. It's required and what the app uses to manage installing your ROMs. I myself have never actually used ROM Manager to install a ROM (I did use it to install the ClockworkMod Recovery). I've gone in and out of the app. It asked me to update it, so I did. And I decided to stick with CyanogenMod 6.1 for now. It looks like it's gone through a ton of vetting to get it really honed.
I kind of wanted a more full introduction to flashing the ROMs and stuff and the CyanogenMod guide was great for me. This looks like a relatively painless and less complicated way to safely upgrade and switch out ROMs for you, and I might've done it more or less this way if I'd discovered it first.

Thank you.

Personally I would recommend you install froyobylaszlo
But anyways, first of all before you start installing the 2708+ kernel, you're gonna need fastboot and adb on your computer
What OS do you have on your computer?

one laptop is Vista and the other is Win7

If you are not testing it this is a bad conclusion:
*) Deep sleep may or may not be working.. this has mixed results but the device is mostly sleeping.. so yes if completely idle (ie no cell network no wifi, screen off, no services running..) you might go from 4days uptime that the system currently gets even with an sdcard to 5 days if the problem if it exists is solved
problem is deep sleep is when the ARM11 CPU is turned completely off (it is going into low speeds correctly, and disabling other hardware into low power modes) This means when you are using the phone this state will not be entered (and thus the phone uses the same power as it is now) when a service is actively running.
Thus most peoples battery enhancements in GB are from the new APIs to allow applications to stay in the background more in Gingerbread; and a much larger problem is many applications these days are running more services than the G1 can support thus the system is constantly swapping in and out applications from memory.
Thus those whose battery on gingerbread roms is draining fast will more likely benefit from checking what is running in the backgound than waiting on a deep sleep fix if its even a problem.. since the services will still run after any fix and the battery life won't improve.
What the op needs is the 2708+ radio/SPL (that others are helping with) than nandroid in recovery can be used to switch between roms; since it provides more ram to CM5/CM6 and gingerbread roms all work with the 2708+ combination then the op can pick what works best for them in a more overall evaluation... and not just what lasts the longest when not used as a phone.
To OP:
the best way to continue is to:
1) Install fastboot (and the sdk) on your computer. you will need to search for this since the since I don't know the details for windows
2) If you already have a custom recovery (clockwork or ra-recovery) continue; otherwise you will need to install one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4647751&postcount=1
3) then since you have HBOOT: 0.95.0000 install 1.33.2003 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6510019&postcount=76 this will allow fastboot and let you continue with:
4) Then the installation section at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 (The files section will have the various files required and older roms that have been ported to work on the new SPL/Radio.. newer roms mostly will work per instructions on the rom's thread) .. read the entire post before doing anything.. as this is a major change to the phone, and the actions to fix something if you run into a problem may be slightly different than they were with more stock roms..
Try to get a feeling for what is needed before you begin .. we know its a bit of an involved process.. but most users have auctioned this in smaller steps originally.
(Note the cmwiki will probably be the best way to install recovery)

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910008
Download the drivers only pack
I think it includes fastboot
I can't check, if not tell me and ill upload my files as soon as I can get to a computer

search in google (or probably even xda) for "easy fastboot" if your having issues using fastboot, its exactly that an easy way to use fastboot for noobs.
also you can flash your new radio/spl as well as your rom via recovery, it isnt recommended but it can be easier if you have issues. ill tell you i have done it this way many times and have yet to brick a phone but as always my experience dosent me you will have the same. so try to follow the suggested route of fastboot is best.

upgrading to Gingerbread
I should have taken a longer rest.
I am starting the New Year with the feeling that everybody gets the right to flame me: my G1 does not work after a very bad step.
I installed on the re-formatted SD card 2 files namely DREAIMG.nbh and cupcake.
In short, I got the message "E: cannot open /sd card /update.zip (no such a file or directory). Installation aborted".
The next step was to sign my google account. It failed.
At this stage I cannot format, read, transfer, and use the SD card because it is not recognized by the computer. And of course the phone is not working.
Right now the G1 shows in the colored bars:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT- 0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29 (before doing anything to the phone the radio was 2.22.19.26I)
This phone was unlocked and set on the AT&T network.
Thanks to my wife Nexus One I can use, format, transfer files (which I did, to no avail) by inserting my SD card in her phone.
The least to say is that I really need the help, knowledge, and assistance of the Forum members.

What you don't want to hear is we see no error in what you have described. > well apart from the nbh file used it may be the original way to root but its not the easiest.
The message you are seeing in recovery is not am indication of a problem.
Ok, 0.95.0000 has no fastboot and thus you really need a custom recovery, to do that you. Need to flash it from the rom after rooting it, this means you need to try and boot the phone normally and log into Google normally.. if this fails try the following:
A.) go into recovery (home+power) and press alt+L then the combo to wipe the phone
B.) If its still not working try re-flashing the nbh
Oncce logged into google the telnet trick can work..
C.) While it needs a bit more setup, this third option is easier to install the 3rd party roms without a Google login and manual flash of recovery from system: make a goldcard ( you can do this on the n1) then put the orange nbh from the 2708+ thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 this can be renamed DREAIMG.nbh and then be flashed with the gold card you made. (There are many guides on making the goldcard for HTC phones) Once flashed you will have a fastboot enabled spl that will let you flash anything by fastboot.

Thank you for helping me to breathe a little bit deeper, better, and slower.
So far I am in the same situation.
Dropping by BestBuy I found an SD micro with an adapter. It makes life easier for everybody.
I did again what I started, trying 2 different downloads of the .nbh file. Still locked at signing my google account.
Following your advice I will try to create a goldcard and follow the procedure you mention this evening.

Wait...locked at signing in to google account?
What do you mean? It shows google sign in but you can't sign in?
Do you not have a data plan?
If so, just google "activate g1 wifi"

I am still trying to create a goldcard with the nexus 1. I cannot install a driver for it, I cannot install a driver from HTC sync, I get a message that "the device is not connected" but I can see the microSD on the computer.
This is where I am. And I do not know anymore what I have to do next since I feel I am in front of a wall.

I did not express myself correctly.
When one reaches the sequence to sign into a Google account one has to enter email address then password.
I did that and few minutes later I got the message it could not reach the google servers.
Also, I have -rather had - a wi-fi connection since I got the G1 in December 2008.

[Q] My HTC Sensation XL SD Card cannot be Mounted. Please Help me.

Today morning I had installed the custom Insanely Cool Sense Rom By Three Muskeeters and the phone was working really fantastic. Lot of improvements like more batter life, good Wi-Fi signals and also the Network radio and the fabulous performance. But later, I have found that my SD card only shows the size of 234KB. I was wondering and I had restarted my Device into Recovery and formatted the SD card which results the SD card cannot be mounted. I tried several times, but no possibilities. Later I restarted my device which doesnt boot into the Android OS. Now, I dont know how to reinstall my Backup ROM which I have with me over the ClockWork Mod Recovery. Because, I dont have the access to my SD Card to copy the Backed up ROM. Now what can I do?
Shall I have to give my mobile to the HTC Service center for repair? or if any other way to remount my SD card. I have tried to format and mount the SD card through CWM Recovery. But it fails.
Can Someone help me how to make my device works again? I will be thankful to you if you help me in this regard.
If I give my device to the HTC Service center, Sure they will charge me again 300 US Dollar to replace the main board. I am residing in United Arab Emirates. Here people dont even look at the phone to figure out the real issue. They use to say that you have to replace your main board in order to make your phone work. I have already paid 300 US Dollar before when I was not familiar with the CWM.
That time when I have given my phone to HTC Service center, My CWM Recovery and SD card is working fine. But I dont know how to install the Custom Rom Via SD card over CWM. Because of the device unlocked, they charged me 300 US Dollar to repair my phone. They told that I had damaged the main board of my device. I was really wondering that time.
Now, I really need your help guys. Kindly give me the proper appropriate solution to get back my device working. Thank you.

I had similar problem and what i did was relocked my phone and run ruu for ics 4.0.3 for my region. It worked fine. You will then have to unlock and root again. I have decided to stick with stock ics 4.0.3 update for now.
