Hi I bought T-Mobile myTouch 3G. It is a rooted phone already with custom ROM:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel Version: 2.6.29.6-SuperS
Mod version: Nexus Super В-blk 1.10.2
Build number: Super В beta
The microphone is very quiet. So the person on the other side of the line can hardly hear me.
Do you think that is a hardware problem or it is probably a software issue and could be fixed if other ROM is installed?
Thank you for your answer. I really need your advice!
Elena
yes this is problem with the rom. You can flash a few audio files on your phone and this can solve ur problem. Do you know how to do that?
Not, really! I will be very thankful to you if you could explain.
I have made some research and made the following instruction for myself. It works well, but it is just the same ROM that I have.
I might need to save other files on my SD card and try them. However I am a little bit scared to download and choose wrong files and brick the phone.
One guy recommended me to try this ROM
( HTC Dream: G1 > G1 Android Development
[ROM] [No-Wipe] HTCClay's FastTest 3.1 RHack Released!)
but he laughed at me and said that I would not manage to do it and I would only brick the phone....
That's why I am scared to try anything else...
go to wipe
wife data - first line
press home to confirm
now wipe davlik
press home to confirm
now wipe ext partition
press home to confirm
press back
go to flash zip from sdcard
DRC83_base_defanged
press home to confirm
flash signed-NexusSuperD-blk11
press home to confirm
when it's done just click on reboot

Do you know how to enter recovery mode?
Yes I know!

I actually reflashed the phone with the same ROM following the instruction. It was successful, but I ended up with the same ROM.
Those files were on the SD card with the phone when I bought it and I figured out that they would work. However this ROM seems to be defective and my microphone is very very quiet. That's why I thought that I might just need to understand how to flash other ROM.
Elena
Ok the issue here is that most roms for the 32B board (mt3g) are those made for g1, so they have g1 audio drivers. And therefore the bad mic volume. You need to install mt3g drivers. So since u seem technically sound to me, can you follow this guide and install adb on your pc?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Once this is done, you need just 3 commands to get the mic to work.
ayush20m, thank you!
I have just installed adb on my computer.
I do not quite understand why I need it for.
Please tell me what I need to do next...
I do appreciate your help!

Connect your phone to your computer and see the command list from the link i gave you to see if you have your phone connected properly.
You need this to put the correct audio drivers in your phone.
If you have gtalk can you pm your gmail id, it'll be faster that way
I have just sent you a pm
I am connected using CMD. I know how to use a command line..
Please add me in your user list. Waiting!!
Ant THANKS! I feel more confident with your help.
Just incase it helps..
About the guy "laughing" at you, he's an idiot. You're not gonna brick your phone flashing a rom. Just don't touch your radio and SPL/hboot since you're new to this. Although I would suggest flashing an ENG SPL if the previous owner hasn't already. I don't know what you have since you didn't post fastboot info. I suggest this because you could possibly get into a soft brick if you screw up something bad. Next time, post info this way. Turn off phone, boot up holding back+power. The other info you provided is nice but sometimes we'll need more! =)

Hello everyone,
my Name is Fabi and I'm fairly new to Android. My previous Phone had Symbian...
My current phone is of course the HTC Legend...
... it has 2.1 stock on it
... Baseband Version 47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L
... Kernel Version 2.6.29-e3993620 [\n] [email protected] #1
... Build Number 1.31.405.5 CL154058 release-keys
... Software Number 1.31.405.5
... Browser Version WebKit 3.1
... it is NOT rooted.
I read a lot in the last few weeks here and know a lot more about Android "Development".
But there are still a few open Questions
If i root a device, it's loosing its warranty. But if i unroot it (like in the new available Guide) again, can they still notice that it has been rooted before?
Do i have to reset/wipe all my Phones data if i unroot my device?
Is there something like BarryAllen so I can switch between roms (I think there is something like that called Rom Manager - but i'm not sure)
Can i receive FOTA's again after i went to the stock Image again (to use the stock FroYo as soon as it is out)
Does the FM Radio work again after i went back to the stock Image again?
Can i create a RomDump of my phone, so i can flash it back whenever i want?
Where can I find a description of Clockwork Mod (what does it do, and how and how to use it,...)
Thank you for reading (and answering) those stupid n00b questions.
I hope you understood my English
Fabi
Edit: I figured out that RUU means Rom Upgrade Utility, but what does WWE mean?

Be sure, you'll be right more often than you think. ROM Manager is indeed the app for managing ROMs.

Yes, it's called a nandroid backup. You need to be rooted to make and restore from them
fabi280 said:

Right here:
It's an alternative recovery image, and gives you lots of options: creating/restoring backups, flashing new ROMs (it works with ROM manager to make this easy), wiping anything you like and, of course, flashing all the other MODs you're gonna want to mess around with.
How to use it:
Well, if your phone boots properly you can just tap "Reboot into recovery" from ROM manager (also use ROM manager to install clockworkMOD). If your phone doesn't start properly (boot loop) you can still get to it. To quote myself:
Press and hold the volume down button while you press the power button. You'll get to a white screen with little Android dudes at the bottom. Ain't they sweet, riding their little skateboards. Anyhoo, what you see now is the bootloader, the pesky little thing that made rooting so hard. Within this area of your phone you need to use the volume buttons to move up and down in the menu, and the power button to select. So, wait for the list of files to appear and disappear again, click on the "RECOVERY" menu, and wait until you get to the infamous "red-exclamation-mark-in-a-red-warning-triangle-on-top-of-a-picture-of-a-phone-that-looks-nothing-like-the-one-you're-holding-and-just-screams-danger-at-you" screen. When you see this, ignore your instict and don't run for the hills. Just press and hold the volume up key while you press the power button. Ignore the error, and wait until you see a blue menu. Using the volume and power buttons navigate to, and click, "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
BOOM! ClockworkMOD recovery. We're back in business! In these menus you need to use the optical trackball that HTC so kindly provided us, and click on "nandroid".
What's that? Your screen went black? Didn't I just tell you to use the optical trackpad? Use that for clicking too. Kicking youself now, aren't you?

I think that covers it. Have fun!
Thank You very much.

World War Three (replace the E with an 3)...joking. World Wide English is the meaning and it's just saying that the ROM in question is "universal" having English as default language (I hope I've explained correct). You should always want to use a WWE ROM, if you don't want to end up having a localized ROM installed on your phone (Chinese sounds good? )
[joke]
You just said World War 3 because I'm a German - thats unfair... It was the fault of Austrians, in both cases.
[/joke]
Okay, thank you for all your answers.
how do you put the myt4G in to recovery mode?
Wow not to be rude but did you try the search button......hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time while the phone is off. The select recovery
Sent from my icy cold glacier freezing every phone in its path
i did and i tried search by looking up hbooting myt4g recovery mode couldn't find nothing i even googled it and found this method your giving me but for some reason when i hold down home and power then let go of power button it fastboots..
but now i realized its the vol button i was looking at the myt3G recovery...thank you.

You have to have fastboot unselected before it will work. I'm looking into rooting my wife's mt4g, and that took me forever to figure out.
I have a vibrant, so I'm new around these parts. Still doing my research before taking the plunge.

Please use the term quick boot when referring to the reboot option that does not fully restart the phone.
Use 'fastboot' to refer to the low level utility / protocol that allows image (ROM,etc) flashing via USB

No problem (clicky the thanks button ). I was actually leaning toward this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225. I'm still trying to determine the difference between it and the one you linked. The main purpose will not be really to flash any roms (she likes the stock), but to resolve some minor issues she has w/ her device. For example, her market fc's every time it updates - it's getting old to have to uninstall updates before she can even access the market. So I'm wanting to root so I can use TB to freeze the market updater.

Aha...see this is the stuff I need to learn - I simply used that term b/c it's what was in the reboot option. So it sounds like "fastboot" is the same as Downloading mode on my vibrant, correct? In other words, roms can be flashed via either clockwork or a usb connection to a computer while the device is in fastboot...?
I need to find a tutorial that explains the basics for the mt4g. It's a pretty different animal than my vibrant. I'm creating my own flashable mods for my vibrant, yet I pick up my wife's mt4g and I'm back to square one. Fruustratting!
If you already flashed it, Power Off > Hold Vol Down + Power until booted > Vol Down to recovery and select

hey i'am successfully rooted now with stock ROM! with the link i gave you! i think you should use the one i gave you its more detailed that the one you linked to me...theres a few things missing there in your link.
Call me a n00b, whatever. I am interested in testing a different radio on my Nexus S i9020a. I have recently noticed terrible download and upload speeds over 3G on my device since upgrading to Android 2.3.4.
My device is not rooted, and if this is a requirement to flash the new radio, then I will not do it. But my question is, can somebody guide me through the process step by step?
get fastboot (and adb while you're at it) working, then power of an boot into fastboot (or "adb reboot bootloader"), then:
"fastboot flash radio radio.img"
either "fastboot reboot" or just scroll down to reboot in the fastboot menu.

You need to set up adb, you will also need to have Java jdk in order to set up adb. You will also need to have to have the correct drivers installed on your computer in order for it to communicate with your phone. IMO you might as well root your phone if your going to set up adb lol its the hardest part. Good luck. Btw Google is your friend, read read and read so you wont end up bricking your device.

Hey, thanks man. My NS took a turn for the worst. I think I corrupted the memory as I could no longer write to the internal memory and the phone wouldn't get past the google splash screen. I spent a while thinking I could fix it (ODIN etc.) but finally gave up and sent it back to Samsung. They replaced the PBA (Printed Board Assembly), free of charge. I should be getting it back in the mail any day now. Can't wait, I've been stuck with my g1 for weeks now.
My 3g/mobile data is also guffed since the 2.3.4 upgrade and I'm going to revert the radio back.
I dunno if I'm being stupid but I can't seem to find any radio images anywhere...can someone point me to them please?
Thanks,

I just re-read your first post and I don't think you can flash a different radio if you are not rooted (could be wrong though). Honestly, flashing a radio has much higher risk than rooting your phone (but still low risk as long as you check the md5 on the radio image you download and you don't pull the battery during a radio flash).
If you choose to root, this is a good guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545

I have the SDK installed and what not. But where do I go from there. Is there a way to root with stock recovery? Or just applyt the radio image without rooting in recovery mode with unlocking bootloader?

Fastboot or Clockwork Recovery is mandatory.
If you want to use stock + a radio. You can try renaming the .zip to update.zip and applying update.zip from stock Recovery but I'm not 100% sure if that would work.
best bet is to use fastboot or clockwork recovery.
Btw if you flash clockwork only once than it will not stick, than you can flash a new radio while still having stock recovery if that's you're jive.

Alright guys, this post is just for reference and ease. I've been using xda ever since I got my old HTC Hero a year and a half ago. Now I have the EVO and xda has been nothing but helpful to me. I've decided to make this post to try to help anyone that might not know much about android so I will make this a simple, easy to understand post tutorial.
HTC EVO 4G 2.3 Gingerbread root tutorial:
(Step 1) Power down your phone and take the battery out. Printed on the phone under the battery is a serial number. It is on the bottom line and usually starts with the letters: HT then a series of numbers and letters. Write this code down for you will need it later.
(Step 2) Download superuser from this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?q3ujsx1m4uq1662.
(Step 3) Download the HTC drivers from this link: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...=HTC Drivers&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13139469417033
(Step 4) Plug your phone to your computer and put the phone in disk drive mode. Now put the superuser .zip on the sdcard and change the mode to charge only.
(Step 5) Put the phone in usb debugging mode. Do this by: home>menu>settings>applications>development>usb debugging.
Also, enable fastboot. Do this by: home>menu>settings>applications>fastboot.
(Step 6) Got to: http://revolutionary.io/ Go down to the downloads section and select either windows or linux. (depending on your machine) Allow the file to download and proceed to the beta key generation.
(Step 7) Select your operating system (windows or linux) and your device and hboot version.
If you are unsure of your hboot version you can check by powering down your phone and holding volume down and the power button (make sure fastboot is turned off before doing this. just make sure to enable it again once you have checked and have the phone powered back up.)
Now enter your serial key (the code you got from under the battery.) select generate key and it will give you a beta key.
Make sure to keep the window open.
(Step 8) Extract the revolutionary.zip and run revolutionary. It should recognize your device and then ask for the beta key. Enter the beta key it gave you, remember it is case sensitive.
(Step 9) Revolutionary will now work its magic. Let it do its thing and DO NOT interrupt it. It may seem like it is frozen but it sometimes just takes a few minutes.
(Step10) After it gets done with all of its operations, revolutionary will ask if you want it to connect to the internet and download the recovery. type the letter "y" and hit enter. It will do it and then reboot.
(Step11) Now you need to flash the superuser .zip. Disable fastboot and and usb debugging and power down the device. Hold volume down and power at the same time until you get the hboot menu. It may check for an image and shouldn't find one. Just let it do its thing. Volume down and select recovery. It will reboot into recover. Now just volume down to install .zip then select choose .zip from sdcard and choose the su 2.3.6.3 efgh signed.zip and select yes. It will flash it. When it is done just reboot.
Congratulations. You are now rooted with superuser and s-off and have full root access.
Thank you, xda. I am grateful for this forum of great and helpful people, without you guys my android life would would be simply mediocre.
Edit: If you need to learn how to flash roms, here is my guide!!: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230610
Nicely done but may I suggest 1 thing to some people that I have noticed in going thru the root thread in development. I think you should also download a rooted version of the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153 and flash this right away or in lieu of flashing the root files. I have seen some people have issues running certain things with the root zip file provided.
Also I think the first thing that should be done prior to rebooting is Nandroid(ing) your present rom for safe keeping.
Yeah that makes sense. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my way after doing it three different times with three different evos, but, nevertheless, I appreciate your input and if you have seen this problem then thank you for bringing it to the attention of the viewers of this thread.
This is by far the easiest Root I've done to date (granted I've only rooted by Hero and my Evo), but still. Gotta love simplicity.
Thank you for posting this! Now I have a few questions I am hoping someone could answer.
The first: Will this process wipe my phone?
And the second: Our home computer is a Mac. Since this isn't available for Mac computers at the moment, I have an older laptop running windows vista that I am trying it on. I tried to install the HTC drivers but it keeps popping up with a window asking if I want to repair it or remove it. What is this error? There isn't an option to just install it. What should I do to make it work?
Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

The file is a simple exe file and should only install not sure whats that about and also it will not wipe out anything. But you do need to do a backup of your apps. My suggestion would be Titanium Backup or MyBackup
HOnestly people this root is incredibly easy to sit here and double triple guess your self with this particular procedure is unnecessary. Just follow direction to the letter at the original development thread or here and it will be done if 3 minutes. No risk at all IMO.... If you are still worried I would be happy to help out just PM me

No, the rooting process does not get rid of any user information. It simply unlocks the bootloader for your phone. As for the drivers, what Windows OS are you using? I found it far easier to install the drivers on Windows 7 than XP.

In reality after you get s-off on your bootloader you can flash another rom. You only flash the su zip if you want to have your present rom rooted.

Nope. No data loss will occur. The drivers sometimes are interfered with by other programs so what I suggest is disabling your antivirus and uninstall anything you have on your computer that has to do with htc. Just keep the drivers and get rid of stuff like htc sync and pdanet.

In reality after you get s-off on your bootloader you can flash another rom. You only flash the su zip if you want to have your present rom rooted.

This is true.

No, the rooting process does not get rid of any user information. It simply unlocks the bootloader for your phone. As for the drivers, what Windows OS are you using? I found it far easier to install the drivers on Windows 7 than XP.

Ok thanks. I just wanted to be sure. The computer is Windows Vista. Will the drivers still work on it?

Thank you for posting this! Now I have a few questions I am hoping someone could answer.
The first: Will this process wipe my phone?
And the second: Our home computer is a Mac. Since this isn't available for Mac computers at the moment, I have an older laptop running windows vista that I am trying it on. I tried to install the HTC drivers but it keeps popping up with a window asking if I want to repair it or remove it. What is this error? There isn't an option to just install it. What should I do to make it work?
Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

Nope. No data loss will occur. The drivers sometimes are interfered with by other programs so what I suggest is disabling your antivirus and uninstall anything you have on your computer that has to do with htc. Just keep the drivers and get rid of stuff like htc sync and pdanet.
Whoops! I got the HTC stuff to install and now it is in the process of rooting. I figured out right after I edited this post. Thank you for all the help!

This is a bit redundant. I really don't understand what you mean but if you just follow the directions completely and entirely then it will work perfectly. Just plug it in when the directions call for it.

Stop over thinking it.... Its ok its really as simple as it sounds... Relax follow each step and you will be fine... Your questions sound like your worried and if you are the steps after you root will drive you crazy. Especially changing kernels, flashing radios or roms....
Hey guys, a few days ago I finally decided to root my phone and flash cynagen mod 7...
However yesterday evening my touch screen suddenly stopped working, so I can't unlock my phone...
its still showing screen but its not responding when I press anything...
Things ive tried: removing battery for 20 sec, removing battery to turn off the phone and start it up again.
Is it possible to fix this?
or does anyone have the stock Vodafone firmware so I can try flashing it and return it for warranty?
Try reflashing the Rom from recovery again maybe that will help, I think I saw a thread on here about a fix for that problem a few months ago but not sure as I never needed it so didn't read it.

You mean re flashing the stock Vodafone rom?
Any place where I can find it?
Btw even clockworldmod doesn't seem to respond to my buttons(the ones below the screen)
Only the physical buttons work...
Sorry I meant try reflashing your cm7 Rom again from recovery, use the volume buttons and the trackball to navigate in clockwork.

ill give it a shot, by the way when I tried to flash with RUU it didn't detect my phone.
Also when I boot up my phone with charge cable it stops responding and only the red charging light will burn(even when the battery is full, because it did this for hours a few days ago)
Also in clockwork when I go to advanced and key test it doesn't do anything when I press a key, It doesn't show anything in the log.
So I think its really broken.
Update: reflashed with cyanogen didn't fix it
And when I try to flash with WUU it says my phone is not connected
ofc I can't access my usb settings on the phone...
The charging bug comes with clockwork, when the phone is off if you plug in the charger it happens so I always make sure to hit the power button first wait till the splash screen has gone and then plug it in, its annoying but just pop the battery out and then reboot the phone. There's a fix for that too but it didn't work for me.
As for the other problems I'm not sure as I've never come across them on my phone before, I would definitely try reflashing first before using an ruu. If that doesn't help hang fire till someone a bit smarter than me sees this.

I just tried re flashing and that didn't help, I think my screen is really broken.
Including those home, menu back and search button.
only the power and the volume buttons and track ball work...
Update: sometimes my screen seems to work for a few seconds and then it doesn't again...
Depends on how I hold my phone...

Especialy by saying that last thing, one would think about a bad contact in the cable that connects your motherboard with your screen. I could be wrong, but I think the softkeys belong to the screen as well, so that would explane it. But I'm not sure about that last one.
You can try opening up your phone and see if the connection of the cable to the motherboard is still good. To open up the phone, you can folow the guide for the htc desire, it is said that they are alike.
Keep in mind that the bad connection can be IN that cable as well. So perhaps you have to look if you can buy a seperate cable somewhere (don'y know if that is possible).
I must stress out that I never opened this phone myself, so all the things I say here are based on what I've read on this forum. It just seems logic to me
One more thing: this all sounds risky. But since you are out of waranty, and since your phone doesn't work, I personally would give it a try.

So if anyone could give me one id be really happy.

I've changed the touchscreen on mine and can confirm the softkeys are attached to it, there's 2 separate cables though I think the one from the softkeys is only for the led's as mine broke, the buttons work fine but I have no lights behind them.

As you are looking for a ROM with hboot 1.02, I assume that before rooting you had the same hboot? Because then you must have gained root using AlphaRevX/Revolutionary, which installs a custom bootloader. This hboot can, to my knowleadge, not be downgraded to the original one. In other words: you have voided your waranty and there is no way to cover it up...

Damn, will they figure this out or is their a change they are just like oh yeah the screen is broken lets fix it?
As its clearly a hardware issue and not a software issue...
Other whys ill just fix it my self or go to a phone store...
update: I tried flashing SUU but it keeps giving me a message that my phone is not connected...
But the phone store told me rooting does not void my warranty as its a hardware issue and not a software issue.. they told me they could send it for me to a special company that repairs phones and is qualified by mayor factories like HTC,Samsung,etc.
But they also told me it would be easier to just contact Vodafone for repairs as that is free and if not I could always come back.
I'd send it back to Vodafone, best case they'll switch the touchscreen power it up for a quick test then send it back, worst case is they may check your software versions... then send it back unrepaired.
I used to fix iphones and ipads for an insurance company and hardly ever had enough time for checking software, just fix it, send it out and crack on with the next one!

dont panic your phone is all right
It also happened in my case.Go to the following link
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
and flash a suitable ruu rom .it will definitely fix ur phone.or u can just boot into recovery by pressing volume and power button simultaneously during the boot and flash cm 7 rom.

I already re flashed cm7, and at first it didn't help then suddenly it did help and now its doing nothing all over again...
Update: re flashed again and still nothing.
AFAIK reflashing a custom rom from a custom recovery should not solve the issue.
But reflashing a stock ROM (= RUU) should solve that. Also reflashing a stock ota update will solve that. Ota update needs to be flashed from stock recovery. Do either of these things depending on what your hboot version is (if hboot is latest then ota will be option for most times) Also remember PC49IMG method if you presently have custom recovery.
P.S : what all I said is thinking that it is software issue. this shouldn't help if it is related to hardware.
Sent from my Blade using XDA App
I was wondering if there was a way to flash using that method, as I said I never needed to flash an ruu yet so don't know much about em. Just saw your other post explaining how to use PC49IMG to flash an ruu. Thought i'd copy it here as it may help.
bharatgaddameedi said:
If it still had the issue, then install the RUU by pc49img method. Download the correct ruu for your phone. Donot connect phone to PC. On windows PC click on start and type %temp% and enter. This opens the user temporary folder of your PC. Now run the ruu. Now if you observe the temp folder, there will be extra folders created which have folder name enclosed in {} brackets. Search in these folders for the file ROM.zip. Copy the ROM.zip to a safe location. Now format your memory card to fat32 (must) and put the ROM.zip to the root of memory card. You should use memory card reader. Then rename the ROM.zip to PC49IMG.ZIP . Then insert memory card in phone and reboot to hboot menu from where you can update/reflash the partitions. If still not working, clear storage again from hboot menu.

Did that and now its on stock Vodafone firmware
But the touch screen still isn't working.
Oh well now I can send it back to Vodafone for repairs.
Thanks for the help
Btw: is their anyway to get the original hboot back?
For maybe some more like me that want to go back to what it use to be with the hboot S-OFF, S-ON issue.
I had my phone S-OFF with alpharevx beta. Used CM7 -stable for couple days but decided i wanted to go back to all original. I first RUU my phone with the RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe file. Boot it up, made sured it runs, then did what is instructed below here;
To be able to do this you need HTC USB drivers installed. Install the HTC pakage, reboot, uninstall the HTC-
Sync software, keep the drivers! reboot PC again.
Power off your phone. Plug in your USB cable to phone. Press volume down and powerup your phone. After it
settle navigate down and choose fastboot option.
1. Unpack these files to your c:\fastboot
2. Open up your windows command promt (WinVista/7 users rightclick choose run as Administrator)
3. in command promt type CD\ then press enter
4. then your should be in C:\
5. type cd fastboot
6. then you should now be in dir C:\fastboot
7. Im bored to death typing, look below. Beware of each command ends with enter. After success, reboot.
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30
... OKAY
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot hboot_buzz_7225_1.01.0001.nb0
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... OKAY
Files needed (Windows version): megaupload.com/?d=UO9L74I9
Works perfectly for me.
* NOTE: Im not responsible for your phone if you brick/kill it. These steps worked for me!
