Need help

Hey guys i just unlocked my phone and put mighty rom 4 in it and it eats up all my memory. i need help finding a better rom for my Verizon Touch Pro Non Sim card. and im a noob at this just got the phone today..

Read this sticky on Flashing a CDMA device
Spend some time in the wiki
And whatever rom u choose is a personal preference. Check out NRGZ28's roms, they seem to be the most popular. Be sure to only flash a CDMA rom!

You would not have been able to flash a cooked ROM unless the phone was unlocked.
Are you saying yuou flashed then unlocked?
Doesn't make any sense.
I understand you're a noob, do I strongly suggest you read BEFORE you flash, then you won't have questions such as these.
If you flashed a ROM that "ate up all your memory" then you did something wrong.
I would suggest flashing back to a stock ROM and go to the CDMA flashing guide for noobs.
You can flash directly to a new ROM if you are unlocked.

No i didnt flash then unlock. I wana know if i can put new firmware on my phone with the mighty rom on it... Like get rid of the mighty rom and put somthing else on it with out going in the flash guide and unlocking my phone again and stuff like that... Also can i put WM6.5 Rom on my phone even tho it has 6.1 on it. and whats the difference between CDMA And the other thing

I have Verizons "Version" of the touch. oh and i forgot when i say it using all my memory mean like after and hour of use it will be at 82% mem usage with all the programs closed

If you are unlocked, you can flash a cooked ROM over the one that you have now, even if its WM6.5.
CDMA means you have no SIM card where GSM has a SIM card, so you need to read specifically for flashing a CDMA ROM to your phone, or you will brick it.
Also, I thnk the 82% is your battery level. Where do you see the 82%

on the top right corner i press it and has the lil mem icon and it says 78% next 2 it. whats a good backup program for my contacts and data

Ok, that is the task manager program usage.
78% seems high with nothing running but you can open task manager and it will tell you which programs are using iup your resources.
If you try to restore PIM backup to Manila it will hose up Manila, so I use Microsoft's MyPhone program to sync my contacts, texts, even music and pics to a server.

Alright man cool. Thanks for your help

Replacing T-mobile ROM with Generic HTC ROM

Ive just installed a generic HTC rom over the top of the T-mobile rom pre-installed on the device.
I will check whether the things that everyone is reporting to be missing from the t-mobile rom are now working
UPDATE:
This rom does not seem to add any major features, it pretty much the same but without all the t-mobile branding
**NEW URL**
http://androidfiledepot.com/Storage...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

so you have root acces?! or can you load an htc rom but no other roms?

where is this generic rom

OK, i take no responsibility if you brick your new phone if you do this
This update will remove all t-mobile branding from your handset. Should you have problems with your handset you will need to find a t-mobile rom to reinstall onto the device before returning to t-mobile for repair.
You will need a Goldcard and the following rom http://androidfiledepot.com/Storage...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
Once you have created a goldcard insert it into your phone and start it up, then run the exe file listed above.
This will install the HTC rom onto your device and will remove all the t-mobile branding (apart from the sim lock)
Ive only spent about 10 mins testing the device since the update but everything seems fine.
If anyone is:
1. Concerned about the current lack of a t-mobile rom to undo changes this rom would make
2. is unsure of how to install the rom
3. Doesnt see the point of installing this rom
I would recomend that you simply DONT install this rom
PS...For those of you who want the 3d Gallery from the Nexus1 on your Desire you can simply install the 3dGallery.apk in the normal way

Just interested but is this rom newer than the one we are using at the moment, also, I created a Goldcard for my hero a few months back is it the same thing for this, or do you have access to a guide, also doesn't a goldcard technically allow us to install custom roms onto the desire.

What crap have T-mobile installed? =/

I can't see much T-Mobile on mine just when it boots up it says T-Mobile but apart from that the rest of the stuff is sense ui things.

The one linked to in my post does indeed appear to be newer, ive noticed a virgin media icon which was easily removed. It seems that although it is listed as a stock ROM its not a fully stock htc ROM after all.
All T-mobile branding is gone obviously.
I just used an old Goldcard that was created for either my Hero or Dream

Sorry My bad, I was meaning all the logos and changed icons and all the changes within senseUI.

Hardly anything T-Mobile on it... Not sure what the benefit of flashing is tbh...
I won't be flashing the ROM, not until there is a clear benefit to actually doing it..

I still don't think there is any T-mobile stuff on it, if it was branded with there crap it would come in a T-Mobile box, as far as i can see its the Desire that i have seen on the net.
The changes in sense is down to htc same with everything else, all these phones are is sim locked imo.

These are the 2 differences I've noticed so far:
T-Mobile Bootup Animation
Browser icon has WNW over it (web n walk)

Yerp - and a new ROM won't remove the T-Mobile boot up screen..
So i think anyone flashing a new ROM is slightly insane - just to remove a w'n'w icon... As it really is very very small.
Nowt else on there T-Mobile wise

Errr. Yes it will remove everything t-mobile as its a full ROM.
Everything changes to HTC's logos

It shouldn't do mate...
I flashed god knows how many ROMs on my HTC Magic - never once did it remove the Vodafone boot logo...

Just seems a lot of hassle just to get htc logos on to me, all that risk for something minor.

Will it? I've flashed dozens of ROMs onto my G1, and I still have the original T-Mobile splash screen every time it boots.

I think he may be right. Look at the way the desire boot...
[HTC]
[T-Mobile Logo]
Looks like "HTC" is the unremovable splash screen and T-Mobile is the bootload image (like the ANDROID on cyanogen G1).

Yes, if you flash a FULL rom it flashes everything. The radio, boot logos the lot.
Im not going to be flashing it every day, just the once to get rid of all the logos.
If you dont want to flash it then DONT. At least if people know that they have the option they can decide for themselves.
As for the people moaning about the risk, that's your choice...but I bet your going to flash a similar update in the near future
PS..I find it interesting that ppl are happy to moan at someone who was willing to try installing a new rom that could have included new things, yet most likely wouldn't have attempted the experement themselves

Apart from mentioned did the update change any other icons, or just the web browser and boot logo.

[ROM] DHD Vodafone Australia Stock Branded Rom 1.32.178.5

I finally got around to rooting and S-OFFing my phone today, while I was at it I used clockwork recovery to make a backup of the Stock VHA Branded ROM.
I saw a few people were looking for this so here it is. Feel free to mirror it or whatever, this is my first ROM-dump so if anything is amiss or I did something wrong please let me know. I still have the device available to make further dumps.
This is for the Desire HD (Obviously) Branded by Vodafone Australia.
hxxp://depositfiles.com/files/3x1c6v6hj
Sorry for posting a link as a new member, I thought this would be worth it.
EDIT: Obviously the dump is all at factory defaults, on first boot it should be like buying a new phone, from a bloatware company.

Except it will be a rooted bloatware rom?

That's the point People have been asking for it as a backup rom, as flashing a non Vodafone rom may void certain warranties, which flashing this back could increase your chance of keeping. I personally upgraded my own DHD to a much better ROM as soon as I could.

Awesome, ive been waiting for the stock ROM. Good Work

No worries man. Let me know how it turns out if you use it. Everything should be at factory defaults as I wiped the device with Clockwork before making the backup. If you find anything wrong just let me know in this thread.

Thanks Should be handy for warranty issues!

Thanks champion!

Thanks mate. I've downloaded and it all looks good so far (haven't flashed though to check).
Is it rooted with VISIONary r12?

Sweet, been waiting for this. Thanks mate!
Sent from my Desire HD

Yeah the process I followed was Perma root with VISIONary v12, install hboot, install clockwork test, use clockwork to wipe to factory and then backup to SDcard. I'm unsure as to the exact details of how VISIONary works at this time so it may not still be rooted, I don't know if root persists after factory reset.

Thanks! this is getting downloaded for safety/warranty reasons.

Thanks a lot for extracting and hosting the original (Vodafone AUS) ROM!
Am i right, that this is the only thing you need to set your mobile into delivery condition? If there are some other traces of flashing they might decline warranty, too!
Perhaps, if you have the time and pleasure, you could write a detailed how-to for newbies (with links to software you need, e.g.!) how to extract the original firmware.
I think this would be necessary if the DHD will be available in other countries on other network providers (with their own ROM).

Excellent! I'm just 2 days into my new DHD from Vodafone Oz and just about to do the same... Rooting!
I'll probably make a back for myself but I'm downloading this one too... Just to be safe.
Thanks heaps Kazuroka!
BTW - Don't listen to those lame ppl who don't have anything positive to add.

Just a note: I believe that this ROM, although the stock Vodafone image, is a rooted one. So if Vodafone have a moderately smart technical department they will still be able to tell that it is not running their complete stock image.

@ivolol: That's exactly what i'm thinking about! For e. g., changing ROM on my Windows Mobile phone requires a modification of the bootloader. If you flash back your old (original) ROM you have to remember to change the bootloader to original too. Otherweise you have the original ROM on your phone but another bootloader and this could be be detected very easily. I know that the procedure changing ROM on DHD is another than on Windows Mobile, but perhaps you have to think about more things than only flashing the original ROM?!

After flashing back the backup ROM I did not have root. I installed Terminal Emulator and tried to su, and even downloaded VISIONary+ and re-Rooted the device. However I did still have the Eng hboot, as that was not included in this backup. I have a copy of the original hboot from when S-OFFed the phone, I will see what I can do about getting the original hboot and stock ROM into one package for everyone, and then perhaps write a tutorial for flashing them back individually. I MAY NOT, however, write the tutorial as I am still rather new and would not like to lead people into doing something the wrong way. I will also include the stock hboot in a seperate archive for those who have already downloaded this release.

could be better i gues...thanks OP

This is the original system.img that comes on a brand new Vodafone Desire HD.
This image was dumped manually without Visionary messing with stuff, and Obviously the image is NOT rooted. It's completely stock.
This would probably be the best image to use if you're worried about returning the phone
Note: I have had to return a Desire HD to Vodafone who did not check that it was rooted and S-OFF'ed - So, don't worry too much.

OzJD
Why is your file so much bigger than Kazuroka's original upload and also just wondering your method of extracting the img?
Thanks

[Q] Restoring to factory defaults

I am passing my old HTC Sensation to my mother now, and she will not need it rooted.
I can't flash the new Revolution, since my firmware is too old.
How do i get the phone unrooted and back to as it was when i got it as brand new?

Get the RUU, google and u will find
Send from my lovely Sensation XL, from a little town in france with a very very slow internet connection.

To start with, you can flash the new ARHD. Updating your firmware is super easy. All the instructions and the downloads can be found in the Sensation forums. (But literally you put the file on your SD card, reboot into recovery, and don't touch anything until the phone tells you to. 5 mintues later your firmware is upgraded.)
Second, you don't have to go the full RUU route if you just want to hand mom a stock phone that she can't screw up with root access. You can leave the device S-Off because that likely won' tmean anything to her, and just flash a stock shipped ROM. (There's a whole thread of them around here somewhere)
In fact, that's probbaly your best option bcause it leaves S-Off, thus giving you the ability to easily fix her phone or restore it or update it or whatever else you might want to do later. It also gives you the ability to get bloatware off of it too.

[Q] [Help] getting my Inspire 4G back to stock

I had a ATT inspire 4G running on android 2.2
I rooted and installed CWS with easy ace root. worked perfectly
then following another guide I found, I tried to flash update-aospX-1.0.0-AR26-DesireHD-signed using recovery.
But my phone was stuck on the white HTC screen and didn't go anywhere. Trying to solve this issue I wiped everything with recovery and flashed this: GizRoot_v_2 (1) which I found on this forum as a rom made similar to the stock rom. this worked and now phone was good but the guide did say to change the radio.
I tried to update my radio via hboot with sd card, but it always got stuck on the installing part and never finished. After researching it the problem was that I am still S-ON and you cant change radios while S-on?
I have spent 4+ hours googling and researching I have about 12 tabs open with different guides. I am very frustrated at this point
I Have a inspire 4g phone that works but the radio doesn't work. 1st it would connect to the movil network of the carrier but the wifi did work. I changed the simcard to another provider and it did work calls were made and internet data worked. but now wifi doesn't work!
I would like to have the phone back to factory setting and stock att rom. how can I do this, I used a RUU exe, but it always said error connecting to the phone. the RUU is RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed
or maybe I am doing it wrong?
help please
edit: I booted phone to fastrecovery usb and ran the RUU.exe again, this time it went all the way to wiping and sending then it said an unknown error occurred right after updating signature and sent me to error recovery step 0, followed prompts but nothing worked

Flash boot.img from fastboot. Read the Ace Think Tank in Desire HD General for details.

steps
Ok
So.
I booted into recovery, wiped data and factory reset, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache
installed from sd card update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed. rebooted device into fastboot, connected usb cable.
downloaded android-win-tools and extracted into one folder. I also extracted the boot.img from update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed into the same folder.
I opened a cmd window, went to said directory. typed fastboot.exe then fastboot devices. my device is there, then I did fastboot flash boot boot.img sending boot, writing boot ok.. did fastboot reboot...
and HOLY **** IT WORKS...
I still have to test wifi gps calls etc
EDIT: WIFI WORKS, GPS WORKS BLUETOOTH TOOK A WHILE TO TURN ON BUT WORKS, and calls work! camera works yey!

MIUI on Inspire 4G
Hi,
I need something like that too.
I bought my phone from USA in 2011, Android 2,2, i think, and with MIUI on it, locked on AT&T and I use it in Europe.
I unlocked it here in Europe and everything was fine.
So, the phone started work slow and after 2 years of use it I didn't receive any system update. My husband bought one same model, no MIUI on it, but HTC Sense I think, AT&T locked, unlocked here, but he received the system update and worked fine.
Now, in my silly thinking, I started to look for update on Internet and I saw that the Android is already 4.2. and I have 2.2. And I said,man, that's why is not working so well.
So, I upgraded my phone to Android 4.2.2 JDQ39E - the most stupid thing I could do. Starting that day, my phone is freezing non-stop, it restarted itself while I am talking on the phone. The apps are not working well, are freezing often. I read on AT&T website that for my model, the last Android is not 4.2.2 at all, but it was too late.
I found out how to upgrade the MIUI and I did it. This is ok, but this MIUI it makes me cray. I don't like it at all.
I WANT TO GET RID OF MIUI AND PUT SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF IT. And put the normal Android system that my phone support it well.
HOW I CAN DO THAT?
Please help me with some advices before I will creat a new model: HTC Inspire 4G smashed.
Thank you so much.

Uh mate, It's best to go back to Stock Roms for that. And Everytime you guys go upgrading and degrading Roms, It's best to make a backup image with Nandroid.
Easiest way to go back to stock is find the proper RUU's for your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
Pick one of these, Download the RUU, Plug in your phone and Let the App do it's magic.
And take note, It's going back to the STOCK.
After that, Use the AAHK tool or search around the forums to unlock and S-Off.
Good luck.

Thank you!
