I had a G1 with RC30 on it, but had to replace it for keyboard issues. now i got a new one with RC19 on it. what can i do to keep Root Access even if i update?
Read......
Link????
Thanks
Please search... this has already been covered and it is stickied on the first page. Also there is a modified RC30 that seems to work really well once you get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
The lesson of this story is at least look on the main page.... and use search (it is google and it does a good job).
can we get a Mod to close this thread before it turns into another noob bash?
"noob bash?"
Thats a pretty big statement for someone who needs to post on how to unlock there G1.
Now how's the noob.
and yes close this thread.
im waiting for my replacement, i was wondering when you asked for a replacement...and yours came with RC19 right?... im afraid that i will be getting a RC30 phone as a replacement
mine was rc19, it replaced my other one cuz the keys where to flush to the board.
yeah mines are too flushed as well(especially E,D,F,R, and T) but i didnt really mind...but mines being replaced for my super loose screen..it wiggles around so much that the T-Mobile store workers recommended me to call Customer Service and ask for a replacement..

I got another unit from a brick and mortar store last saturday (11/15) that was still RC19. They received it on 11/13. It's not a rock-solid guarantee but just showing there are still RC19 units in the inventory stream.
cool thanks!..im crossing my fingers hoping i dont get RC30..

Make sure you have Telenav installed on your tilt if you're using at&t. Just in case if it ever gets stolen, at&t can track it down via gps through telenav ONLY. I got my tilt stolen today Didn't have anti-theft/telenav installed on it so I can't get it back. So I'm just warning you guys.

I just learned. Get some good software though. I know most idiots in my town wouldn't know how to use WinMo and uninstall software, but these are programs that can be uninstalled, but can easily track your phone:
TeleNav
VitoFindMe
They work, very well so, but they can be easily uninstalled. TeleNav can even let you see your phone's location via their website.
I do recommend something like:
RemoteAntitheft
Sprite Terminator
These will work very well. I regret not installing remote antitheft after I flashed a new rom to my tilt But things happen. I just hope whoever stole it feels guilty about what he did at some point in his life. I'll be fine >.> I'll get a new one (I didn't get insurance though since in Feb. we weren't allowed insurance on tilts)
Ouch, sorry to hear that Kraize. Hopefully things go better, especially after you get the Fuze. I presume you still plan on that, are you going to get a temporary phone and then the Fuze or get a Tilt for the meantime?
Sorry but maybe its jus me but dont think it would work all to well. Seriously if I got someone's phone, first thing I would do is bacc up any dat that I could off the phone and then just flash it. Especially since I have a notebook could do that anywhere. It's a nice idea but can't see it being really all that useul in my opinion.

You're forgetting, most people who would steal a cell phone don't even know what "flashing a ROM" is.

What's the story... how did you get your phone back?
on downgrading or rooting rc30??? i would just like to kno...
thnx...ciao
Long story short, when there is a result, it will be all over. I would go so far to say as even if there is a small hurdle overcome... it will be the top thread on every Android forum.
Very true. I got screwed with a RC30 phone too, so I have to wait as well. I'm sure with time, someone will find a way. Of course if you don't like waiting, you can always buy a dev phone.
Or better yet get a replacement phone. I had a bum trackball on my old one, got my replacement and it came with rc29 on it. I'm now running rc30 rooted.
I'm past T-Mobile's grace period. Is it possible to get a replacement? My keys are all bashed in.
What was the cause of it, dropped it? If you dropped it then probably no chance. You can always call and ask them if there is anything they can do, its worth a shot! I had my old one since the g1 first came out and no problems returning it for me.

i know HTC has a 1year warranty if you look in your manual, and my problem is that my camera button isnt working at all and i do so want rc28 back as well,
BUT i got my g1 off ebay and i dont have a receipt so i dont know if they will take it any thoughts maybe someone who payed in cash could scan me a receipt,?

I called them (HTC, T-Mobile said they couldn't help because I didn't have my original contract with them ) and they said they were going to "repair" my "problem."
So a repair won't do, a replacement is the only option for us.

well if you bought it off ebay, t-mobile has no obligation to replace it for you. that is a service for T-Mobile customers. you would need to speak to HTC directly.

HTC has an obligation to repair/replace the device under the 1 year warranty regardless of whether you bought the phone on or off contract. Problem is, you cant submit a claim directly through HTC, only T-Mobile.
MY wife has the Droid Inc. I have the X.
Here is my question my wife has gotten 2 Google Map Updates in the 3weeks I bought my x. I have gotten none. Am I missing a setting?
ur not missing anything as far as the updates go. the dinc came out first so it prolly had a much earlier edition of maps. the x is newer and probably came with the most recent version of maps when it released. even if she just updated hers yesterday or today it may have been a update that has been available for sometime that she just didnt install. when the next update comes u will see it. more than likely when you open the market u will see it or it will pop up in the notification bar.
You checked the versions, and yours is not the latest? Latest comes with the Places app.
Not sure when Market checks automatically. If you being up your downloads in the Market app, it should check then. You can always install it again from the market manually, and get the latest.
As a sidenote: I've noticed that if you install an app from local storage (i.e. SD card), as opposed to from the Market, the Market doesn't see it, and doesn't know to check for updates. But, since Maps is pre-installed, I doubt that's the issue here.
My version is 4.3.0(#4307) the wife is traveling for work so I can't check hers until next Friday.
She just called hers is 4.40 (#4414)
I got an update the other day not sure what version though but I am getting it and I'm on an x
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Just checked same version as your wife 4.4.0 (#4414)
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Great so once again it is just me.
I got my answer. I just want to share with all of you in case this happens to someone else. Before I start this is my first smart phone ever I had an HTC Inc. for 2 weeks before it became the wife's new phone. So I am new at this.
In the Android Market go to your settings and then to download. I saw the Google Map update and 4 other updates that I was missing.
Thank You to those of you that responded to my post. What pisses me off is that 3 phones calls to Verizon Tech Support led to Big Red telling me call Motorola. I did and they could not help me.
Where did I get this answer from some chick in a Verizon store with a nose ring and a Frisbee in her ear. Just need to get that off my chest.

Im 70% covered in tattoos.... Check some of my threads... just saying...
While it may not be pleasing to the eye, science has yet to determine the correlation between piercings/tattoos and intelligence.
70% so your not really putting any effort into it? Just kidding.

Ouch haha, I still have plenty of sand left in my glass. Just no money
I tried to change the rom and that didn't work. So is there sort of a fix out there?
Oops posted it in the wrong section. Please move this.
Attempt to do a factory reset.
If your keys are too defective to do that, or it doesn't help at all, you may need to send your phone to HTC for warranty purposes.
Thanks but it didn't work. I guess it defective the funny thing is this happens right after i finish riding a hot air balloon...

LOL I know right. Well I went to tmobile and I'm getting a replacement. Found out the supervisor there use to work with hot air balloon lol. Anyways I'm glad I'm getting it I love this phone.
If so, do you have any idea how much it will cost? The phone was rooted so I'm fairly certain it's not covered by any warranty.
before you do anything of that nature, what is going on, please explain what happened in as much detail as possible, screenshots would be very helpful. i have"bricked" my infuse countless times, and i've still got it running and working great right now, never had to pay for anyone to fix it or anything, as far as i can tell the infuse is pretty much unbrickable.. so if you would like i would like to try and help you out so you may not have to pay to fix something that may not be broke

Just wanted to update everyone here. I was very honest and upfront with the woman I started my trouble ticket with and told her right from the start that I had rooted my phone and caused my own problems. Well I got an email today from Samsung stating that my phone had been re-flashed and was being shipped back to me today by UPS. All I paid for this service was $2.46 for a box and shipping materials at my local UPS outlet. There was no charge for re-flash or shipping! I will always buy Samsung!!!!! :good:
Now to decide what to do since I now have two working Samsung phones on Straight Talk. LOL! Should I reactivate the infuse with it's currently inactive Straight Talk sim card or just use it for my Google Voice phone number and keep my new phone for network calls...
thats great, really surprised samsung didnt make you pay...
I'm surprised also... quite a deal.
How long from when you sent it out until when you got it back? (just curious).

I haven't actually gotten it back yet. I shipped it out on Monday, They got it on Wednesday and Thursday I got the email saying it was shipped back in my direction. I expect it by Saturday at this rate! Also, I called Straight Talk and apparently I can reactivate my Straight Talk SIM card in it with no extra charge since activated a replacement phone before sending it off and I pay for the unlimited plan. All I'll need is a new number for it since the replacement phone has my existing number and I'll have two working Samsung phones for the price of one phone plan. (I still think the Straight Talk representative was full of caca in that regards. LOL! I'll believe it when I see it!) :silly: Life can NOT be that good or I've just entered the Twilight Zone!
Congratulations man.
Btw it's almost impossible to hard brick lol.
I saw your picture of it and it wasn't hard bricked. Either way it's good their fixing it. Consider yourself very lucky. They usually won't fix that.
You take responsibility when you flash.

Well in that case I would suggest you stick with the stock ROM from now on. If you are not willing to try to bring it back from an Oh Sh1t! you don't need to be playing with custom ROM's or other mods.

Never said I wasn't willing to try! I said I didn't feel up to the challenge. There's a big difference there. I don't however have any plans to re-root it for now. Maybe if, or when my brain isn't so scrambled by my current medical situation..... Sometimes, the smartest thing a person can do is recognize their own limitations.

Thanks to op. As a result of this thread, we all learned another option for recovering from inevitable (if you flash) soft brick. It's probably not the first option for most, but it certainly may be helpful to know there's a backup plan if you just can't get your computer to cooperate with heimdal/odin

Glad I could help! :silly: And really upfront honesty when talking to the person who's creating your trouble ticket with humility and self effacing deprecation is recommended! I was a twat for breaking my warranty and I admitted it and they fixed it. Even if I had had to pay a little for the repairs, it would have been worth it! I have my better camera (With an actual Flash) and GPS device back now! FYI - In case anyone is wondering about the Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy Centura camera, it is only 3 Mega Pixels and has no flash!
