Hi,
I think you may have screwed up your framework-res.apk
Try unzipping the ROM zip you downloaded.
Go to system>framework> and make a copy of your framework-res.apk
Then put it onto your phone and copy over the one you played with,and it might correct things.

how man the android is on the phones memory not on the sd card . how can i reach those folders cuz when i connect it via usb it wont be recognozed by the pc

Why not just make a fresh install of the ROM through CWM? Wipe all data & etc. Flash your Rom. You should be able setup your Google Account after.

How can i do that?sorry ima noob...

newbie with android

Ok let me see if I can explain my problem right. I got an android locked to t-mobile USA I am planning to but an unlock code for this phone but the problem that I encountered before buying the code is this this phone come with an application that when it start up it asks you to to set up your gmail account but I am in mexico I am not interested in having a gmail account how can I delete this application or stop it or skip it otherwise I am not going to be able to use the phone what can I do I like this phone but it is useless in the state that it is help
Not having a gmail account means you wont be able to use the market, your contacts wont sync, the included calendar app wont work very well. There may be other issues as well.
Do you hate google or what? A gmail account is free.
no thats not the reason I dont hate google it is just that at the moment when my android turns on it start up with this message
Setting up your T-Mobile G1 I tried to register but it wont register and I can not even use the phone functions the android stays on trying to register this what I do
i try to register then a message comes up that says that it may take up to five minutes but after a while another message show up and it says
there is a problem comunicating with google servers
this could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provioned for data services. If it continues call customer service
well the bottom line I really want to use this phone but how can I get pass this registering bull
here in mexico we run into this problems all the time our cell carriers suck basically i just want to be able to use the phone functions only if anyone can help I will apreciate it.

You may need to downgrade to RC29 depending on what version your phone is currently running.
Also, I'm not sure if your carrier, or any at all, block by IMEI if a phone is reported stolen. I'm not accusing you of stealing, but, you know...

Ok... Long story short:
The G1 is a "google" phone and is dependant on data services and a google account to operate. That being said, the only way you can work around this without having a solid data connection (through your cell provider) is to go the process to root your phone and use one of the builds that allows you to skip google registration. I know TheDude's build lets you, I'm not sure which other builds do. By skipping the sign-in process you would still be able to use wireless internet to get your phone to sync with google once you turn on wifi.
Of course, your phone will have to be unlocked if it's not already.
I suggest you look at the development forum and start reading the links from the "round-up" sticky on the very top.
Thank you everybody for your quick responses but it seems that i am still stuck in the setting your account bull.- i try to root my android but i can even get to format my m sd card as a follow instruction in how to root phone it says to wait until mount show up on my screen how am i suppose to do that when my phone wont get past the setting up account screen can i format m sd card with adapter and then load the rc29 and put it back on my android and follow the rest of the intructions will that work i dont want to try it just like that has anyone else done like this is this going to brick my android.

Yes, if you have a card reader you could put the dreaimg.nbh, update.zip and recovery on your sd card and never have to mount your phone to the pc.
Or just use another device with a memory card reader or writer. Or even better, install ADB, go into the recovery window by pressing home+power and on your computer enter the ADB interface and type in
adb mount /sdcard/
adb push (location of firmware).nbh /sdcard/
and voila.
Hey I downloaded android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2 isnt this file suppose to have everything I need to work in my android but it doesnt where is ADB at and I am suppose to have and update zip and restore it doesnt say anything about that in development. I am liking this but it seems difficult but thats why I like it just show me where this files are at and I promise that I will at least brick my android lol not really but I hope I get it working. Well this are the instructions in how to root.
Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode:
Hook your phone up to your computer using a USB cable and then wait for the notification to show up in your title bar of your phone.
Click the notification, and then click "Mount".
A new removable disk should show up on your computer. Right click it and select Format, and select FAT32 as the file system type.
Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAMIMG.nbh file to the SD card. (RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)
Turn the device power off.
Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode. You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card. If you don't see that, make sure you followed the instructions properly.
As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
After it is finished, perform the restart your phone.
see it doesnt say that I need and update zip and a recovery. But I might be wrong so where are this files at

I have cut to the chase and given you the direct links in the stickies that you were supposed to have already read if you were following the very good advice from skri11a.
After reading this, you should have all of the knowledge you need to make your phone work... If not, come back here and we can clarify any further questions.
If you continue to refuse to help yourself, there is a good chance that this thread will be locked, closed, fired, deleted, or shot into space.
Well I am back after reading and trying all that I have to say and I am probably going to get this thread close is this. I can get adb to run I downloaded sdk copied to C installed drivers for my android and nothing happens. I also tried using a memory adapter and formated my sd to fat 32 and then copied DREAIMGRC29 and then tried to run it and nothing happen I am the dummest person in the world.
I don't think this is the phone for you. Just sayin.

Did you happen to rename/extract the DREAIMGRC29? It needs to be the DREAIMG.NBH. Also "Dumbest" not "Dummest".

it will be free, so don't go buying into those sites on the net.

he still can call.
and i'll even list the number: 1-800-937-8997.
all they need is the IMEI number, then they give the correct unlock code contingent on that.
and it'll be obvious that he's in mexico and needs his g1 to be unlock, so i'm sure they'll supply that code for him.
granted he's been with tmo for 90 days or more.

What do you mean? I have a quick question for you though, who is your carrier, and do you have the proper APN set up?

[q] help me get android on my hd2!!!!

So I really want android on my HD2 and after sitting here at the computer for the past 4 hours and getting nothing accomplished i decided to seek help..... I tryed using the "simple" directions and ROM that was offered on stuffmiddleeast.com
For HD2 users, here’s the super-easy way of putting Android on your phone. Download this file and extract the file. Make sure you have at least 70 per cent battery. Remove the SIM card from the phone and you’re ready to go.
You might find that your phone will need to sync multiple times. What that means is you have to start up Windows Mobile Device Center (if you sync up your HD2 to your PC you should already have it, if not – you can download it from here and connect your phone through it.
Step 1
Sync your phone and browse to the HSPL folder and start up HSPL3_PKG.exe. Keep pressing next until the update starts. Do NOT touch the phone until update is over.
Step 2
Sync your phone and browse to the CUSTOM ROM folder and start up ruu.exe. Keep pressing next until the update starts. Do NOT touch the phone until update is over.
Step 3
Sync your phone and browse to the RADIO and start up CustomRUU.exe. Keep pressing next until the update starts. Do NOT touch the phone until update is over.
Step 4
Extract Android.zip and copy it’s content to the MicroSD card folder of your phone via cable or with a MicroSD adapter.
Step 5
Open File Explorer on your phone, browse to the Storage Card and open the Android folder. Select CLRCAD.EXE then run HaRet.exe. Remember to run CLRCAD.exe first as this gives Android Sound. Don’t worry if it does nothing – it’s not supposed to. The first time you load Android, it might take as long as 10 minutes to boot up – so don’t worry if the phone stops responding.
I got through step one i downloaded the rom from megaupload.com as they suggested i extracted the files..... then i followed step one and selected the HSPL folder and i worked fine.... the phone had a pop up that said "you have been hacked or something along those lines...... then i went to step 2 and tryed to open the CUSTOMROM as directed however it seems that the files that were downloaded to my computer read a little differently but i was able to see that it was the file that they were talking about.... so i did that then as step 2 says i tryed to run the ruu.exe..... the file that i downloaded to my computer said ruu not ruu.exe....... i still attempted to run it but it would always tell me that the file has stoped working....... so i am out of ideas.... i loaded and reloaded and still the same thing, i even tryed a different computer..... i am using a windows 7 computer fully updated.... if you could please help me figure out what i am doing wrong or at least give me dummy instructions on how to do this i would totally appreciate it...... im not totally illiterate when it comes to operating tis kinda stuff but if you could keep the verbage and terms somewhat "english" it would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks
Well this is definately not the correct place for this. This is why we have a Q&A section. You do not HAVE to flash a different ROM to run android. It is just preferred. So I guess start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
and after that go read the tutorials in the android section. What did you do with the whole 4 hours at your computer. the step by step info is incredibly easy to find????
You don't need HSPL or a rom and all that crap to run android...What kind of tutorial is that!? Its as simple as...format the memory card on the hd2 to fat32, download the android rom and copy the android folder to the root of the memory card and go to file explorer and find the android folder and click on clrad.exe first then Haret.exe and wait 15 min.....walahh
Sometimes it easier to explain than to find the damm link to the tutorial
COLOR CODED JUST IN CASE

I did exactly! that with Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution on ORIGINAL STOCK USA TMOBILE htc hd2 . No Hard spl no custom "Compatible roms" and no BS. Simple . Fully working android and I am not going back . Only thing is don't hook it up to PC with usb . you'll mess it up . to transfer files to and from laptop go to android market and download freeware called websharing . With websharing you connect to your laptop through same wifi as your android . Like I said . Simple
yep...being a noob myself - I went and followed those instructions above and found out I ended up with ChuckyRom! Didn't expect that...now I know better.
Sometimes it's hard to find the right info on the threads...even when searching and trolling around for it...please be patient with the nOObs...we're all just trying to get un-nOObed!
Thanks for the great help and info - this is a most excellent forum!!! Woo and Hoo!
Truely, if you use HD 2 T-mobile with the radio 5.10.50.You NO NEED to do anything, just copy the android folder to your sd card.Go in winmo - exploder and click on 2 file CLRCAD and HARET and it will run.
If battery is always 60ma when screen off, try to reformat you sd card(FULL and 32kb locate) and use setcpu, this will help.
bro. this stupid easy to install android and you dont have to flash. Just look at any android rom you want and there are instructions on how to install and run them smoothly. read up and others have explained this easy. Its as simple as 123. I couldnt imagine what youve been looking at for 4 hours. Good luck man. and welcome to the world of HD2 Android.

That doesn't work though if you have a branded ROM and can't update to the lastest stock ROM though, am I right?
Thread moved to Q&A, cleaned, and closed.

Vodaphone converted to stock

I've recently bought a HTC desire HD and I'm really dissapointed with the vodaphone branding basically forced upon it. I was looking to install a stock rom of sorts to the device and was wondering if someone could give me a quick link to the guides and order that i'd have to do stuff in.
As I understand it I need to root (not sure if I have to permenantly do so) my phone, and then flash with a stock rom. I'm having a hard time finding a stock rom and also information on whether installing this stock rom would allow me to automatically update, would there be any differences to buying a stock HTC desire HD from a shop.
The rom currently installed is the one for the AU vodaphone Desire HD
Just after the equivalent unbranded one, and any additional steps required to remove the vodaphone filth.
I didn't think Vodafone were branding them quite yet. I got mine from Vodafone UK a few weeks ago and I've got zero branding at all on it.
agreed I have no branding either and I have had 3 DHD's. I was also assured by a VF staff member that all DHD come directly from HTC sealed and VF do not open the box ever before sending out to its customers.
Managed to sort this out, yeah the aussie ones seem to come loaded with rubbish that's unremovable >.<
I ended up loading one of the UK WWE roms and it's working fine now
For anyone curious and new to the process like I was.. I used the perma root method using VISIONary and then I simply ran the setup file of the rom on my PC and it did all the work. Took a little working out but was suprisingly simple.
IF your device isnt rooted then you won't be able to install the rom, it will come up with a user error (somthing along the lines of wrong user id)
What "rubbish" ? Amazon MP3 ? QuickOffice ? SoundHound ? Facebook ? Twitter ? Peep ? That is "HTC rubbish", not "Vodafone rubbish" .

Do you really hav to root the phone do debrand it? Previous devices, such as my Desire, only required a Goldcard present to allow flashing any of the HTC Roms.

A "Games" app - really a link that leads to a crappy Vodfone Australia website
A "Music" app - as above
A "News" app - as above
A "Sport" app - as above
A "Vodafone" app - as above
Would be nice to remove them and reclaim those names in the app drawer.
I might look for the UK rom myself.

Yeah I did try using a Goldcard but it didn't work for me, may have been user error not quite sure.
As for the "rubbish" apps, just the weblinks that link to the main vodaphone site and a boot logo that's rather slow (atleast it felt like it was slowing startup down).
The HTC stuff is fine, I can live with that.. but broken voda links were driving me nuts!
Over and above the links and apps, Vodafone has also put in a splash screen on boot (which I think actually slows down the overall boot process by a few seconds). I'm very keen on flashing a new ROM but I'm worried by warranty issues since there doesn't appear to be any Australian Vodafone ROMs available as of yet...
Any tips on what else can be done? Are we able to create a backup of the current ROM somehow?
EDIT: I just read through another thread and noticed the boot animation can be altered. I used root explorer to navigate to the directory
'system\customize\resources' and found the Vodafone boot. Unfortunately Root explorer isn't letting me edit that file as it is 'read-only'. I have perm-rooted my phone and granted SuperUser access...

So you flashed using a stock WWE? Which version? Also, were you able to get the OTA update OK?
I flashed mine using a Goldcard recently, and all worked fine, but the OTA has appeared to break my wifi.
Also, i can also back this guy up, Vodafone AU brand the HTC Desire HD's.

I just did this with my Three branded ROM using Root Explorer, in /system/customize/resource/ there was a HUTCH_bootanimation.zip and a bootanimation.zip
I just clicked the Mount R/W button up in the top right hand corner and renamed the bootanimation.zip to HUTCH_bootanimation.zip
Should be similar on Vodafone
You can also unzip play with the logo and rezip then move it to the sdcard and with Root Explorer put it back in /system/customize/resource/
I would like to know which file points to HUTCH_bootanimation.zip (or whatever) as the boot animation zip and be able to just change that instead
thanks for this, im getting a vodafone branded one tommorow and they are putting firmware on it with all the crap vodafone 360 etc. which no one wants or cares about,

I had one of these, rooted it and installed LeeDROID 1.2
Now it is mine and no Vodafone influence
Just be wary or removing ANY old app when you do root, some may have dependencies, some cooks say it is better to freeze an app rather than delete just in case.

First of all you need to root your phone. Take a look in this thread and follow section 1.5. Instead of the recovery file suggested by the instruction, use the one from this thread. (Otherwise you won't be able to flash Gingerbread)
You have now rooted your phone and flashed a custom recovery program. Now you'r ready to choose a rom. I would suggest nFinityGB from arco. Just download the rom you like and put it on your SD card. Reboot your phone into recovery and DO A FULL BACKUP. Do a wipe/factory reset and flash the new rom (flash zip from sd card or something like that). Reboot the phone and have PATIENCE, the first start can take up to 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy!
If you run in to any trouble, search! I can almost guarantee that your problem is not entirely new or unique, if it is; feel free to ask for help
yh nfinity gb is best man
guys i try a rooting way but hmmmmm give me error with rootTattoo app

Did you download the android-sdk to get adb? If yes, you should go with the terminal in the platform-tools folder to launch adb.

C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices
'adb' is not recognized as an in
operable program or batch file.

The memory is not the SD card space but the internal memory of the phone.
the internal phone space 150 mb
& the sd card space 1.83 Gb
that is what i found on the phone !
Use Universal Androot and ROM Manager much easier without PC
Sent from my HTC click using XDA Premium App
I have only encountered the "no space left" error once and that was when I missed a step in the manual rooting process. I didn't have any problem with the automated rooting tool mentioned in the FAQ and no problems at all when I did the manual rooting following each and every step carefully.
Sorry but I have know idea what causes the problem if you are following the instructions.
Andy, I've been reading about Androot and ROM Manager since you posted.
I have the standard 1.6 version from HTC, using Androot and ROM Manager I can use any of the rom's posted here in xda or do I need something else?
Did you rooted and flashed your tattoo this way?
Thanks

Guide for unlocking fastboot and flashing custom roms.
http://androidforums.com/optimus-gt...nogenmod-7-android-2-3-4-avaliable-gt540.html
My app root toolbox will flash a recovery image, all download links in my signature.
For root access use z4root. Don't update to 2.1 because z4root doesn't work on some versions of it.
Also have a look here before you change roms/unlock fastboot

Hey there
Nice to see you're still on 1.6 , We really need your help right now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
If you haven't already rooted , Follow these steps :
1. Download http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 and transfer to phones SD Card
2. Download Astro File Manager in Market (Or any other file manager)
3. Open the file manager and locate the application you downloaded
4. Click on the File and Install the Universal Androot .apk
5. Run Universal Androot and select Superuser for 2.0 - 2.2
6. Click 'Go Root'
7. Follow any restart prompts
8. Go back into market and download Terminal Emulator
9. Follow the instructions from the CODE box on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
10. The files will be created in the backup1.6 folder on the SD
11. Using a computer, .ZIP these files and upload them to the filesharing site of your choice
12. Share the link to us
13. Be very proud of yourself, you've helped us all
Then after , I would install 2.1 using LG Software Updater (Easiest Method)
But EVERYTHING is deleted , Including contacts and SMS when doing so. To backup contacts , click Contacts , Press Menu and press Export then Export to SD
To backup SMS I recommend SMS Backup and Restore from Market.
Hope I helped Jamie
haha okei, i'll try to do that so i can give you a recovery imagine of 1.6
and you told me to upload to official 2.1 android through lg site,, i am known that 2.1 is just, mmm , as 1.6 XD i mean, you have problems to install things in the sd, and many apks does not work, and the flash is dead x.x haha
but well, i'll do that first before upgrading to another version!
