http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html

Nice Post!

I really like something from page 90...
"(1) Try to cold boot the unit then tries again" Almost like they expect failure...

thank you might need this for the future

Anyone have these? The original link is down.

looks like HTC asked that they be pulled

damn they found it really fast!

There is still 1 copy of the service manual on this site...ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

It can always be useful

That was much needed... time to open it up for inspection.
PS: If anything has got screws... it needs to be opened

Oh wow. How did I miss this when it was first posted. This will surely be helpful when changing out that glass whenever I get around to ordering it. I found it dirt cheep, but was a little hesitant for fear of doing more damage than good. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Is there a cab to move the lock-slider to the bottom of the screen?

Hi Guys,
I've been using this phone for about a month now and it truly is one of the best devices I've ever had! I've tweaked and modified it to perfection but, as the title of this thread suggests, the final thing I was hoping for was a way to move the lock-slider to the bottom of the screen when locking/unlocking the phone to make it more finger/hand friendly.
Before I get flamed, I have searched and am looking at this thread at the moment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535024
as well as others, but am a little confused as to the correct app to use (if there is one) specific for the HD2. If there is, I would really appreciate a link to it. Alternatively, if there isn't one, I'll live!
Thanks in advance

Brilliant! I'll check it out now. I love this place!!!! PS I'm reading about cbr files and stuff. Will I need one or do I just install this cab alone?
Thanks

Im using heartwolf lock cab and it works perfect on my hd

Absolutely perfect! Exactly what I was looking for....
Thanks guys

heres the cab for anyone else.. beware, installing this cab overwrites original manila files so simply uninstalling it wont revert you back to original layout. if anyone has the cab to return everything back to standard layout please post it here...... i need it!! lol thanks.
(image of what you get installing this cab below)

Haha...yeah I've just noticed that myself. I uninstalled heartwolf's cab to change a theme and I was getting ''tap here to unlock'' instead of the old slider.
Funnily enough, I prefer that default method to the original one anyway but I too would like the original slider if anyone has it, just incase.
Thanks

i just installed the.... CAB IN QUESTION!!!!!! LMAO again until someone posts original unlock cab. (we may be waiting some time i think lol) to be honest i think i read somewhere before installing it to back up original files, but i havent got a clue how to backup or replace windows files. i did start a thread on the topaz forum asking how to put files/replace files in the windows directory, and backup files and stuff. but no-one answered it lol. think its a bit trivial to alot of the people who post on here, as its 2nd nature to them. they must of seen my thread and shook there head at me lmao. i did try the search but alls that would bring up was things related to what files to replace in the windows folder for various things, not how to. i DO know to use total commander or resco explorer LMAO thats about it. maybe doing a computer course in on the horizon! Mmmmmmmm. lol

I use SPB backup. Installed this after my first and only (so far) hard reset. It creates a back up in a .exe form so if your phone crashes and must be hard reset you can simply click the file and it will restore your phone (theoretically - I haven't had as of the time of this posting) This doesn't help your current predicament but maybe a hard reset will get you back to normal. Not sure though.

Well try Sprite Backup (http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup/full-edition). It backs up all settings, emails, texts, contacts, everything by all accounts. I have a Sprite Backup from before I installed the new cab anyway so, if worst comes to worst, I'll try that but to be honest, I re-installed heartwolf's cab again and I'm happy with the slider at the bottom of the screen anyway so I'm fine.
henv (the poster of the cab in this thread) should really edit his post to reflect that the original slider would be removed but, as I say, I personally don't really mind....

As above I got excited seeing the cab and downloaded it. Disliking it so much I have now done a hard reset which has returned everything to normal.

HOW RETURN REGULAR LOCKSCREEN AFTER DEINSTALLING OF THIS "FIX"??????????????????

thanks for all your replys guys, very usefull! think i`l try backing up my files using one of them programs. nice to know a hard reset turns everything normal again, pheeeeeew!!! lol oh yeah it was me who posted the cab. and i did state it overwrites original manila files to stop anyone else going through the same mistake as me if they didnt like it, i even posted an image to show what you get! lol anyways thanks for your replys guys, much appreciated.

[RUU] RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test | Android 2.1

Here is a link to the latest RUU from Sprint.
You cannot simply extract it. This still has root since it is a test release. I recommend just doing an adb pull of your system directory after you flash it. Don't do this when the final one comes out or else you might be stuck without root.
You will need to add busybox, patch sh and su, and make sure that you do another recovery image and such. I also recommend adding Superuser.apk and stuff. If you use the Desire build.prop, you can get most of the protected apps working.
Enjoy.

damageless, I appreciate your forthcoming with this... I do find it to be very unfortunate the circumstances under which this had to be released. Regardless whether you intend to remain involved with this community or not, best of luck.

Glad you stayed Damage. For the record i do not give a crap about the RUU i WANT YOUR ROMS.

Damage, Glad to see you back and hope you stay. You have always been honest and forthright about the leaked RUU and why you wouldn't/couldn't release to everybody. It is so rare to run across somebody who embodies the highest qualities of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and generosity. You have shown that by sharing your information and talent with the community to help troubleshoot and refine the 2.1 update.
It is an atrocity that a few jealous ingrates have managed to destroy this and future opportunities. This is what happens when people expect everything handed to them, without having to work for or earn it. Whatever happened to personal responsibility, your word being your bond, helping someone just because they need it, not because you can get something from it, honor and integrity?? Welcome to the new America..........
Anyways, I hope you stay and continue your great work, if not, I understand that as well.....................

Ok, first off, lets say I have respect for the man.
Second, get off his nuts, and third he was most likely approached by someone who leaked the files to him in exchange for anonymity. He didn't work for them any harder than anyone else. He got boned for being trusting. It sucks and ruined a good thing for the rest of us!.

No signal network operators :(

so i just loaded froyo 2.2 and the A853_Telus_Upgrade_SHOLS_U2_03.11.0_USASHLSMR2TLSB1B2B506D.0R_Service1FF.sbf for the boot load, everythin works, but i have no signal. help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Tonka, no offense intended, but why do we need four new threads from you, all pretty much relating to the same issue?
furthermore, if you had read the guide posted with the ROM, you would've known to back up your radio files BEFORE flashing...
after flashing and restoring them, if it's still not working, there are posts in the ROM's thread that include links to the radio files to various popular carriers, almost all of which work.
I got my radio files from someone on the forum here, you can too.
btw, RTFM. honestly.

im sorry, its jus i kept encountering other problems along the way, but would u please give me the link to these radio files, an tell me where id have to place them. thanks

thanks for the compliment.
to be totally frank, I had many of the same issues you did. From this forum alone, I'm up and running full time on the MotoFrenzy 2.2 build.
I only got working because there's plenty of other people who have had the same problem who have ALREADY documented the fixes.
If you look hard enough, I bet you'll find them too.
-- edit --
this reminds me of the old addage about teaching a man to fish... just in this case, it's about teaching a man to search.

well it would save me a lot of time if you could just help me, like i just have one question,i got the working radio files from system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/
an copied:
File_Audio
File_Audio2
File_GSM
File_Seem_Flex_Tables
generic_pds_init
now i jus dont know how to replace them witht eh froyo 2.2 ones. could u help me?

I really can't. I already spent a significant amount of time searching for answers in the loins of this forum for myself... I don't have time to do it for you too.
To be honest its quite the selfish request you're making there... hmmm... and you call me an asshole then expect me to help. Ha. No thanks.

just check out the first couple of pages of dexter's post, it's all in there

not to interfere with the debate,
but an honest answer is also, if you cannot understand the steps explained, i would not recommend trying to install any mods for openrecovery and messing with the files in the system..
you can easily corrupt the image, and you will spend even more time on trying to figure out why A is not working , while B,C,D problem suddenly occur causing A not to function..
I know HTC made it easy for all modders to make custom firmwares using almost identical radio's and only in some cases, it goes really bad for some regions, but in our case Motrola decided to make the baseband a huge part of the drivers and way to resolve communication and even make it provider locked or complex in a way i cannot even explain. (preferred providers over others as example, custom mobile services as another)
many HTC mods, includes support for like 12-15 countries in one image, looking at "locale" supported, where motorola pushes 12 different firmwares out..i personally only mess with a UK as it worked fine for me, trying to make the other 11 work, would require much more support and engagement in the technical aspects of the mod..we are lucky a few document and write feedback on how they accomplished to make it work (telus as example)

I couldn't agree more.

Looking for a couple brave testers

So I just bought a Slide on eBay, but I wanna go ahead and get things started.
I can do most of the work I think right now before the phone (since it's Sense 3), but I'll need a few brave testers with ADB knowledge and who aren't afraid to flash things.

Somebody help this bro out, he does good work.

You should try this forum:
http://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones_data_devices/android/mytouch_4g_slide?view=all
It seems like most of the people on here like our phones and want to root and rom them, while the people on the t-mobile forum want to complain and cry. I'm sure you'd have pretty good luck on there lowballing someone for their phone!

Got one on eBay a couple of minutes ago. See you guys on the other side . Thanks for the replies.

Sweet can't wait to see what you can do with this phone!

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it on eBay?
I currently have a MT3GS I bought from Craigslist awhile back - got a pretty good deal from someone who decided he'd rather have an iphone, it came with the original box and all the stuff.
Been debating on whether it was worth an update to a 4GS.

I've been one of the ones to dive in headfirst around here so i'll help as I can.
This week, and next, are gonna be real tight on time for me. I still have a few threads around here I have to update...and just can't get more then a few minutes in front of a terminal at a time.
When I get the chance to update my threads, I can sit here and have the phone installing (or whatever) while I do.
Glad to see another dev jumping into the pool here with the MT4GS - it's a sick piece of hardware.

Your list has made it incredibly easy to list out all the apps (I usually have to go through them one by one and try and figure everything out, usually takes 1-2 hours per phone )
Anyways, I can't test it as I don't have the phone yet but Bloater should be setup for it. At least for the apps and stuff. I'll have to add WiFi calling later.
Test it out and let me know what works and what doesn't. I tried not to include anything I wasn't sure about or anything that could be potentially harmful to remove.
If it doesn't recognize something as installed or uninstalled it just means my MD5s mismatch what it was expecting, easy fix.
Install it as a normal APK

I can new a lab rat if needed as I still haven't committed to this as a dd

Are any of you guys familiar with IRC? This may be easier to do everything there instead of posting back and fourth.
We could try #mt4gs @ freenode
Other than that, I may have my statusbar mods ported today. Just need to fix the resource IDs up I think. I'll need to have someone test.
I'm using Paul's deodex as a base for now since I couldn't find an RUU. So if anyone is running that, you'll just have to flash two files over to test if this works or not .
