Can anyone come forward with an engineering ROM? - Desire HD General

As stated in the subject field. Looking for an engineering ROM (optimally, a dump of the misc / recovery partition, as well as SPL/HBoot)

Well, I guess there were pink elephants in the case of the evo, since custom roms were thanks to the availibility of an engineering mtd (misc) dump.
Asking never hurts, and would help remendously.
I've been looking over the G2 codes for a while just to get a head start (assuming the base will be the same), but I would need my dhd to start some real work.
Sure, Paul has some contacts and might come up with a S-OFF SPL like it was the case for the Hero or some other stuff, but that doesn't mean that you should count on it.
Unless you've forgotten, xda is (at least, was a few years back) primarily a dev. place.
well, wth.

I think you need to search for the 0.60 test rom.
First rom made for Desire HD, this is the ROM that was shipped to the test users.
I don't know if anyone still has it. But first thing we need to do if we want to start any dev is trying to make the phone go s-off!

I was wondering once we manage to get root are there any devs planning on putting themselves forward to port over CM6.1 for our shiny new DHD's?

I guess they will be, once this phone becomes mainstream.
I for one, have already ported over [email protected], but this will need testing, since I don't know (yet) if my prelink map didn't get messed up.
[email protected] is of course pure AOSP. I hate the Sense bloatware.
This topic should be continued in the appropriate thread. It's quite OT.

Can't have it all I guess? (Not really a rant thread)

Hello xda-ers!
I have been stalking around, tasting everybody's cooking for a couple of weeks now, and i have got to get something off my chest.
I did search, I do realize that what I am looking for can not be made and that its no one's fault (I might be giving htc a meaningful look right now).
I like a whole lot of roms and chefs here, I really do, but the rom I'm after seems to not exist - one of two options:
1. A hero rom with all the eyecandy, that's donut based for compatibility with newer apps like goggles and the like.
2. An Eclair rom that has video and youtube working.
And so I would like to ask of you wizzies, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Are things comming around? How do you see it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, hardware-ish the mytouch is 36 MB of ram shorter then a hero and a has a lesser camera, but its not like the hero is running its os on its last bits of ram or anything so basically what the hero can do the mytouch can do, no? Is it safe to assume that when the hero\magic gets an update (and I do hope that it does) someone could pull over some driver support for eclair or something?
Thank you all so much for all your hard work, you guys are the reason I love smartphones so much, I'm dirt poor but i promise I'll buy you guys a round of beer once I get out of college
Its a matter of time bro. Be batient. A month ago, none of the eclair roms had camera. Now they all do. A month before that none of the eclair roms had N1 voice keyboard. Now they all do. God knows what some of these amazing roms will have and do a month from now. [/good deed for the year]
Love the FAQ sig lol

1. The devs aren't the ones making the actual hero, they just make hero work with our phones. They can't just say "I want you to be donut", and it be donut. Htc decided to skip donut, and the devs can't do much about that. They can however give you 2.0 hero which is scattered about the forum.
2. Drivers, drivers, drivers. You know, the thing that appears in almost every first post for this problem

As I've said, I realize that.
My point is that apperently you can't cook rosie\sense\whatever onto a 1.6 rom without htc (Ref: "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look") and at the same time you can cook it onto a 2.0 rom - which means broken video drivers.
I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and this is not a rant, just needed to let steam out I guess.

"if" you had searched you could have found answers to both of your questions... and maybe posted in the correct section.
maybe that "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look" should be turned into "i actually searched and posted in the Q&A section or the I didn't read before posting..."
No offence but seriously if you would have searched you would have found those 2 answers in almost every thread that had to do with hero or eclair...

I think someone leaked an HTC branded Eclair ROM with the "rosie/sense/whatever," and that's why you see it cooked into a 2.0 ROM.

It went off topic at the same rate the iPad went from wanted to ridiculed. What's so bad about that?
Well back on topic/kinda...
Do we know for sure that htc will release the necessary drivers for video playback/camera? It sounds like some people are positive we'll get them eventually...I switched back to donut because I like being able to watch youtube, but its amazing how far along eclair roms have come, and mad props to NCommander for reverse engineering the camera drivers. Without him we'd still have no camera at this point. But I was just wondering if its confirmed or not that we will indeed get those drivers from htc one day.
Well, T-Mobile is teasing us with an Eclair update for our phones. We shall see.
What I would REALLY like is a ROM that is smooth and as responsive and the one on the iPhone. Doesn't need fancy apps, just the basic things like Messaging, Phone, Browser, camera/camcorder, apps of course. Anyone else think the same? It's what I have been looking for , for a long time

Thanks gbhil. Your works have been incredibly appreciated.

Reposted from Android Central (link above):
Guys and Gals -
First off, I had a read through and I'm glad for you all that it looks like you might get a working camera with the 2.1 leak. Congratulations to whomever figured it out.
Now on to the not so good news. This morning I received an email from the developer of a popular market application. It seems that someone has put out a ROM full of stolen software, and associated my name with it, as they took the boot image from one of my ROMS and called it their own. This developer and I have squared things away, so no harm no foul on my end.
It does leave me in a dilemma. Rather than have my name tossed in to a mix like this again, I've decided that I'm finished developing for the Hero. Enjoy the work, I won't take it down, and if I can get Google Earth and Nexus one wallpapers working a bit better (yes I have it loading and running, but it locks the system up after 30 seconds or so) I'll pass that fix to the few people here who have helped out so that they can package it up in any way they like.
The person responsible (and I won't name names - they know who they are, and the work they put out with my name attached isn't hard to find) has really soured me. I have been an open source developer for almost 20 years, and am very happy that the carrier I use for cellular service finally released a (mostly) open source operating system for me to play with. The way I see it this leaves me with two choices:
1. - Stop releasing work that others can use in any way they like
2. - Stop developing altogether for the Hero.
I chose number 2. There is already enough closed development and a "I'm first" mindset. That also goes against everything I believe in, so it's not an option. Bundling my name with software piracy and IP theft is not an option either. I will not let this happen again.
Keep the flames and ignorant comments to yourself please. I've thought about this all day, and this is my decision. I'll always be available to help others in any way I can, but I won't be publishing any more work. Rather then wasting time and energy to tell me how wrong I am, please use that effort to congratulate the individual who has placed me in this position. Sorry, but it is what it is.
Jerry.

Thanks for all your help and support.

You can't let one person mess something up for everyone else...That's not right.
please name the rom, that way some of us can boycott that rom..
shouldn't let this one person stop you from doing what you love to do though...
gbhil ..you've done a great job with the kernel + hack ..your work is very respected around here..do not go...
Gbhil didnt mention it. Dont know if he will.
oh damn that sucks im digging your roms i hate to see you go !
id love to know the rom that your talking about
i hope change your mind and stick around
well chances are he will wont be changing his mind any time soon well lets look at the roms there are
flipz-him and cghil have done alot of work together
theres
darch- who gbhil has helped out a bit and he doenst have alot of software on there thats not allowed
Aloysius 1.0 ROM - dont know alot about this rom anyone know about this rom.

Don't forget BIKCMP with the Pancake rom, but he seems to be respectable too IMO. I don't think I've seen a rom yet that doesn't incorporate at the least Gbhils custom memory killer kernel.

Thank you
Well, first lets thank gbhil for his effort, time, and work that he's put into helping us develop.
His guidance has helped almost every project associated with the CDMA Hero.
You will be missed.
That being said, let us not take this as setback. Use it as inspiration to get your own hands dirty. There's no better time than now to learn the trade.
And please, don't go on a witchhunt to attempt to bring this person to "justice." It puts the entire community into a bad light, something that a lot of us don't want.
HEY GBHIL dont leave f00, ur roms rox my sox in a box of rox. i was using flipz old 2.1 rom (before droid eris leak) and then i switched to ur droid eris leak remake or w/e and i was like AMAGADZ its so 1337 and fast. it's almost like the hero isnt a crappy slow 524mhz processor with ur rom. let us know the dev's ip who put the pirated stuff up so we can pwnz his comput0r with 1337 hax0rz

I think when he says boot image he might mean the actual boot.img of his roms. That has to be modified for his kernel to work in the first place, so everything out there incorporating his work has in some way used it.

What are the aosp parts to htc parts

after searching couldnt find any relevant literature on this...im basically trying to create my own build off of someone elses rom to suite my needs...dont worry im not going to be releaseing or anything...but i i wanna know all the AOSP stuff (music dialer mms)apks i can replace with the htc counter parts to make the truest aosp rom i can with least amount of htc stuff possible.......thanks for anyone who can possibly help me out on this one

Because if you read,
AOSP-IZING the sprint rom caused it not to have a camera, and all of the experienced devs gave up, because it really wasn't possible......
But good luck..

Not that IM that experienced, but i know a bit about compiling and *nix. I am attempting to build it, its not going to be ready any time soon. Important things right now are touch screen dont work, cam etc.
I really dont care at this point if aosp means I have to downgrade camera to 3MP then so be it. Not all of us have given up... Some are just taking breaks, and some are waiting for htc to release the source after the timeframe is up for the 2.1 official rollouts.
So dont get your hopes up from me, I am just saying dont give up and there are quite a few of us out there that want the aosp love.

[Q] Android 2.3 Gingerbread for HTC Buzz/Wildfire ???

Just wondering, but since Gingerbread is out now: I would love to know if:
a) it can be configured to run on the Wildfire?
b) how/who/when can do it, to make it happen?
c) if there are plans to build cyanogen mod on Gingerbread
Thanks and looking forward to it
You'll have to wait a few weeks as it hasn't been put on AOSP yet meaning the source isn't available. You might see a port of the emulator image on the nexus one as that has been done before with froyo. Once we have source it should(afaik) be a case of modifying the vendors that adeadrat and Jacob are using now to accommodate for the new build.prop etc.

well: I guess that wasn't the warmest possible welcome into the developing world. Hope for you guys that it's not all too rough out there ... I really have fun trying out the different custom ROMs that there are. I would even report bugs, as that's about the only thing I could contribute ...
still am excited to see how the work in Gingerbread for Wildfire is going, since I suspect it will be the last major release that can be run on the wildfire.
PS: This thread may not be completely lost if some folks who are into developing post any announcements on Gingerbread for Wildfire here ...

I'm not saying anything against you, and you're a new comer, the least would have been to read some topics.
Damn you already ported the gingerbread?! Nice work, How is it? Does it run smoother then 2.1/2.2 or is gingerbread more for tablets then this budget phone.

Jesus, guys. Give him some time.
Good stuff Jacob, hope you get it up and running.
Amazing. Looking forward to it Jacob! =D
good work guys... please refine this rom and make the wildfire a great purchase for all people as it is a great little phone..
Also i don't know if this could be done but can something be done in regards to the resolution of the wildfire... please lol or is there a replacement screen for the wildfire? ......cause i really would like to get another screen and if anyone knows where that would be great.
I only know for the resolution of the wildfire, that there is a pixel density changer (I have no idea if this is any good, but you could look into it if you really want to change it)

[Q] AlphaRev HBOOT 1.01.1000 S-OFF

I noticed that Jacob was running this for his wildfire and after a fruitless search on XDA (cant find any new infomation from the 30th of september.) was wondering if AlphaRev 2.0, or a custiom build had been released for the wildfire so that we can get the s-off at last
or if anyone has a alternitive for me to try i would appricate the addvice you give me.

what does s-off do?
@ Jacob. oh cool i hope the testing goes well. i look forward to the release and also on a personal note your self and the CM team have done well on cm7, could i ask that in your opinion whats the most stable cm7 night build for every day use so i might be able to test it for my blog?
thanks for the speedy reply
@ btrst
s-off is a full rooting of the Hboot which allows you to have full read write to the /system folder of the android device. HTC are trying to make it harder to root newer phones there for it takes longer to get around the new nand security. i bleave this is correct if im wrong will someone please correct me
you've flashed it without jtag?
I'm hoping it. Good job!

Do you realy think that by making that statement suddenly Jacob will release a way yo root with the new HBOOT? No. So pleas stop making those remarks in all posts that mention "root", as they aren't the most polite way of showing your respect to the people who spend hours and hours making roms, performing hacks an make our mid-budget wildfire a top class phone.
I myself was stupid enough to perform the official update (as the matter of fact, i realy had to go trough a lot of work to get there), which I regret now. Just keep an eye on the forum and the official tweeds, and try to pollish the physic mood of the devs (not sure if i'm saying this right, but you get the point), as they are our only hope for rooting.
I'm sorry if I just pick on you, while you aren't the only one who's posting that kind of one-sentence willings. But pleas, re-read your post and think how you would like it if someone said something in this kind of way to you.
So jacob, keep up the good work! No mather the outcome, we do appriciate your efforts! ;-)

It may sound stupid, but I will give it a shot. I do know couple of things about programming, but I cannot find a guide "how to root a phone" in order to think of a way possible. I believe there are lots of people like me. Is someone able to give us a guide how unrevoked (for example) worked on hboot 0.83 analytically, what it did and what it can t do now, in order to try the rest of us rooting the phone? propably some of us will have an idea to bypass security etc.

Not familar to me as well but one reason might be it's just too dangerous for ordinary developers. if you do something wrong then you brick your device... and you can't just simple restore a nandroid backup because this is the part that's actually broken. I think for developing such tools you also need to connect JTAG adapters to your phone and what not.
Also, when new ways of rooting are found, some developers prefer not to disclose how it was done to the whole public as these vulnerabilities are usually patched in the next update; this is probably why we are in this situation today.
Whereas in the past I believed that information wanted to be free, I tend to rally this point of view now for two reasons. One, it keeps the idiots out, and two, it ensures that the same exploit can be used again in the future, and that you don't have to spend time re-inventing the wheel as is happening now.
I agree, but can't we assume that htc has fixed (and thus have already discovered) their leak that was previously exploited by unrEVOked? So that it is safe now to document the exploit?
Will this work on the froyo ota

hello all and thank you for some great infomation. i have ot learn more from someware. and im glad that this community can just waffle on so i can keep learning.
just to think 6 months ago all i knew about android was it was a linux os on a arm based phone. and now i can root my phone test new roms and play with some really good software that is made by people for the people with out charge
even though i do a bit of programing i think it would be best to leave all the phones exploting to the best of the best. i for one am looking forward for s-off and the final release of CM7 which i think is a bee's knee's .
how ever on a perosnal note im currenty on cm #0 for every day use what is the most stable build out there with out the phone bug or gps bug?

Do you realy think that by making that statement suddenly Jacob will release a way yo root with the new HBOOT? No. So pleas stop making those remarks in all posts that mention "root", as they aren't the most polite way of showing your respect to the people who spend hours and hours making roms, performing hacks an make our mid-budget wildfire a top class phone.
I myself was stupid enough to perform the official update (as the matter of fact, i realy had to go trough a lot of work to get there), which I regret now. Just keep an eye on the forum and the official tweeds, and try to pollish the physic mood of the devs (not sure if i'm saying this right, but you get the point), as they are our only hope for rooting.
I'm sorry if I just pick on you, while you aren't the only one who's posting that kind of one-sentence willings. But pleas, re-read your post and think how you would like it if someone said something in this kind of way to you.
So jacob, keep up the good work! No mather the outcome, we do appriciate your efforts! ;-)

I think you need to cool your boots. It's plain that his English isn't so great, so one sentence is probably a big deal for him.

You're right.
I just typed a whole post full about why I was saying that, but actualy it isn't of any importance. I'm in my last week of exams now, and i think thats the reason why I'm a bit cranky.
So Yuanvp, I'm sorry, didn't mean to pick on you. It was meant for all the rest who spam every post about rooting by asking the same question over and over again.
Thanks for putting me on my place, windywoo ;-)

Google rageagainstthecage, that's the exploit that was used to root the Wildfire, it's been open for ages. I'm pretty sure the unrEVOked team don't have any "closed" Wildfire exploits yet. The point is, the person who found rageagainstthecage wanted it to be open, so it was, and it was subsequently patched... After like 6 months
It seems now cm users got a new reason why they need S-OFF.
The CM Team added CPU Overclock to CMparts, but it seem its only working if you hav r/w access to /sys dir.
