And what if instead of talking crap, you would actually help him? In case you haven't noticed, he is not a noob!
ather90: Probably you could start by asking pof the source code and see what needs to be changed to support .NBF files. About the Ubuntu connection, he already detects the device when you plug it with USB, we don't have yet is an easy way to interact with it. You can see the detection if you use "dmesg" output when you plugin the PDA to your computer via USB.

thanks for the support..yeah i saw that the device is connected..but then it also disconnects automatically..my device couldnt connect to pof's tool also..will PM POF for more info..any ways thanks
Edit :- after restarting my server..i tried again and this time the HTCFlasher Detected it..but could not identify it..

Why should he stop using it? you can use ubuntu even if you don't know that it is a simple gnu linux.

Welcome back bro!

hero + ubuntu...do they play well?

so last night my pc crashed and i thought i lost everything, i was able to recover my windows 7 install, thank god. anyways if i couldn't of i was going to install the new ubuntu that just came out. my question is:
is there htc sync for linux?
will ubuntu detect the hero on usb mode?
i assume there is a android sdk & guide to setup on ubuntu?
do you find building roms & developing for the hero easier on linux?
thanks!

I don't know if this will help you at all, but I believe gbhil did/does a lot of Ubuntu. Here is a guide he wrote for setting things up:

Ubuntu is amazing. The newest version was released yesterday, 10.04 -- and it's great! I've dual booted (Windows 7 and Ubuntu) for some time now and realistically once you try Linux, you'll most likely use it as your main OS.
Developing, theming, syncing, and anything you can do in Windows with the HERO can be done in Linux (Ubuntu) -- I know, because I do it!
You should definitely give Ubuntu a try, at least try a Live CD, you won't be disappointed.

Or, if you use VMWare, I have a Virtual Machine already compiled and running Ubuntu (not the newset) but it should be setup already.
Edit....Actually, that may have been before I had to reinstall windows. Anyways, I'll check and see what I still have lol.

Ubuntu is definitely the way to go. I'd never go back. Everything works for me.

I use Ubuntu exclusively now. Wont go back to Winblows. Also, you can use Wubi installer if you dont want to remove your Windows install. Wubi will install Ubuntu beside Windows and give you the option to dual boot...

yea, I'm a wubi convert. If linux played better with my laptop, I'd go all the way, if ya know what I mean... lol
anyways, two problems I have (although will be trying 10.04 later this weekend to see if they're fixed) was plugging in headphones not automatically turning off speakers (could turn down speaker volume manually though) and finding a decent visualization program for listening to music at work (I use whitecap on windows right now). Minor annoyances, but hey.

Sweet. thanks for the tip.

im gonna set up a wubi install tonight, i still love windows 7 too much but after last night im compelled to format but it takes too damn long.

I wonder if with Wubi if you can install the newest Ubuntu or if you are tied down to specific versions?

1. No HTC Sync for Linux
2. Ubuntu will detect the Hero (the 1.5-based Roms had an additional benefit...when you mount the SD card, you would also be able to directly modify the ext partition if you were using Apps2SD...market apps such as splitter will perform the same function in any Rom).
3. There is an Android SDK for Linux and several guides that will tell you how to set it up on Ubuntu.
4. Development, I think, is easier since both run the Linux OS.

Wait...there's an HTC Sync for Linux (not that it really matters, since I can care less...but if so, I may have stuck my foot in my mouth again. Can't get this taste of Tinactin out of my mouth.)

Ad hoc networking is spotty in Ubuntu...at least 9.04 and 9.10. Until i install the 10.04 final I cant say if it still sucks. They changed a bunch of stuff regarding networking support, so It might be fixed now.Takes a lot of extra work to get wireless tethering to work.
My bluetooth hardware in my computers wont see the phone and it connects but never pairs. Android has always had lackluster bluetooth support anyways. That might be my hardware in my systems though.
Im ok with wired tethering though anyway so I havent made a lot of effort on that front. Thats my only major gripe.
Almost every little quirky thing can be fixed if you do come across problems, but these problems are fewer and fewer since 8.04 .
Ubuntu forums are amazingly helpful (if you follow the rules and dont ask stupid ass questions)

i am running crunchbang 9.04 (great for older machines and underpowered netbooks) which is a very sleek, very fast distro based off of ubunutu 9.04 and wifi tethering works perfectly without any fussing with it.
for a distro, ubuntu is a great starting point but personally it is too bloated and feels too much like windows.
btw- crunchbang 10 alpha release is very solid (especially for an alpha build) and works very well on netbooks. the support community for it is fantastic (which is very important for me- read: i am not a dev). check out distrowatch.
cheers and best of luck with linux!,

[Prerequisite to Rooting] Android SDK Installer - v3.0 for Windows

**Microsoft Windows ONLY*
This installer is for new people looking to root their HTC Thunderbolt (not sure on other HTC devices but should work.) I compiled an SDK installer that installs all the necessary files to the directory of your choice (default C:\sdk) to your PC. This installer also includes HTC Sync for the Drivers as well as Java if you do not already have Java installed.
So if you're new to Android and want the tools to root, this might be the place to start before making that big step.
**If you have problems with it installing, try right clicking and running as administrator
Android SDK Installer with HTC Sync and Java v3.0 - 117 MB
*This is a pretty good size file but remember it also includes HTC Sync and Java within the installer.
*You cannot download Java and HTC Sync at the same time, so be patient.
*If you do not want to install HTC Sync but want the driver allow it to install them and then cancel out when asking to install HTC Sync.
*If you already have Java you can cancel out of the Java Installer.
**Download might take longer depending on your Internet Connection.
Please let me know what you think below.
Thanks!
Changelog:
v3.0 - Maintenance Update
v2.0 - Fixed Directory Issues
v1.0 - Initial Release
Also, here is a great tutorial brought to you by Captainkrtek.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=9959449
The only difference in the tutorials is the path.
The path for adb with this installer will be: C:\sdk\platform-tools
*Big thanks to CoolSilver for helping me test this out

Looks good! But where's the link?

Sorry, was still uploading it. Its updated now.

Tried it out, works fine. ADB setup and working.

Such a good idea. Trying to talk someone through installation of sdk is kind of maddening. Do we still have to add the path?

No, it auto installs to C:\sdk
C:\sdk\platform-tools\

This will help a lot of those I see struggling with root not knowing anything about sdk/adb. Great post. Perhaps linking a guide to adb will help people as well?

Looks good. Newbs all around are rejoicing.

Andrew. You. Are. Amazing!!

Norton Antivirus Deletes it once downloaded, Its Saying it a bad Program.
Im going to Disable it and give it a shot.

failed msxml 4.0 sp3
failed windows media format 11 runtime
first time i ran with java installing also and nothing installed, so i reran it after and this time the first two failed, im assuming i do need both, should i get them from the source instead?

I can guarantee and you have my word that the applicaton installer is clean. Norton AV also has many false positives.

Hmm, strange. What version of Windows are you running?
Also, check to see whether you already have java installed. If you do then java is not necessary to complete the installation successfully.

Great job man great contribution! Cheers to you

Glad you were able to get it to work!

Thanks for this!!! My plan is to slowly get to root. I want to try to push a few apps first.

This works really well. Made setting up adb and rooting the thunderbolt so easy.

Thanks I used this to help root my phone.
Only issue I notice is that when I click sdk manager.exe the console comes up shortly and dissappears after about 2 seconds. How do I fix this? Is it because your program only installs the non-jdk version of Java possibly?
Any tips would be appeciated

[Q] Windows 8 Developer Preview in HTC Shift

I know... our umpc is a bit older now, but i'm trying to give a new chance for it, now with Windows 8 Developer Preview. I got a relative sucess... I'm running this os, with tablet pc input working, with snapvue with 3g and wi-fi acess. But i'm facing a big problem with the video driver. I tried reinstall many times, but i can't get it work ok. Anybody got sucess with the video driver?
Sorry for my bad english.... i'm brazilian...

How did you get window 8 to install. I try and it said the shift did not meet the hardware rquirement.
I copy the iso on to a tumbdrive and mount it on a virtual drive for the installation process.
Peter

I downloaded the iso from de MS site. I used the USB image creator which is used to install the windows 7 in notebook. Restarted the machine, press f10 and enter in the setup... my htc is basic 40 gb hd and stock 1gb of ram...

camargomaia: i think it's possible, Windows 7 works fine and Windows 8 are (not for first look) still similar. Tomorrow i will try it, now i got two pieces of htc shift. Did you success with install all of default Vista drivers? Touchscreen is Working? thanks

Every is working, and the speed is very good. The only trouble is the video driver. In the process of setup our shift try hi-resolutions, that it not support, and this causes a instant reboot, similar that we had when trying to install the windows 7, with the aero enabled.
I thing that problem may be here, the windows 8 doesn´nt have the classic theme (windows 2000 theme)...
Let´s try to make this work, our old pc can beat the ipads, in some specs...

My Shift works fine now! I downloaded the drivers from the intel site and now everything is working! Our PC can run Windows 8!

Can you post a link for the driver you used?
What other drivers do I need to download before installing.
Is snapvue working?
Thanks

Good friday for everybody! Greeting from Brazil!

I posted a guide I wrote up in the Shift Development forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17602535
The guide includes links to all the drivers I have used and the process I followed to get Windows 8 running on the Shift from a totally clean install.
As with camargomaia's parallel experiences, once all the drivers are installed the Shift very usable in Windows 8. Even in it's stock RAM limited state.

if your host pc is windows, you have to install a proper driver for the hd mini
if it's linux, no driver is needed.
Grab the driver here>> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18807579/Photon_NAND_Tools/driver2.rar
I tested with Windows 7 x64, it works fine.
EDIT: Link updated, the driver is now fetched from the newest Android SDK. It should work well

Thank yout peter08po but i'm on windows and i had the same "error" and i didn't install any driver and every thing work fine for me..

That's weird... maybe a problem with the driver... do u have a x84 windows ? Maybe the driver works only for x64... i don't know this driver..
The wifi should work ! maybe a duplicated mac adress... try this :
1. turn on wifi
2. lunch terminal and type : su
3. type: busybox ifconfig eth0 hw eth "0E:00:A0:03:1E:FF"
4. try to reconnect
You can go back to wm with RUU from HTC website : htc(dot)com/europe/help/htc-hd-mini/#download
1. turn off ur device
2 turn it on by pressing power button and vol- together, u should have a multicolor screen, connect ur device to your pc.
3. run the file u downloaded and follow the steps at the screen.
To disable debug mode :
when u connect your phone to your pc u will have a notification just touch it and deactivate usb debug.

@Vogelhaus7,
I had the same error when i tried to go back on wm.
In fact, you can't take any roms.. the rom must be for YOUR country.
Example:
I'm french then i tried a rom with "FRA" or "Europe" in title, but same error: "bad vendor id"
I forget that one day i tried to put my serial number on HTC website, and my phone was DEUTSCH.
Then i take a Deutsch ROM with "DE" in title.
reboot with tricolor screen, put cable....
It works !
Make sure you have the right rom
