Here. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
I started it and gets to the point to verify device and comes up to a screen that shows device not found.

(Stock radio is 26.02.01.15_M2)

where is it?

@CBMM, it's right there at the link. There's two .zip files and one .exe

Welp, time to start flashing, lol

What did you rename the file to? And are you flashing via recovery or bootloader?

I didn't rename it. It is it's own update utility. You run it from a pc and it will go through and verify the information on your phone and then will update. Looks very simular to the Update utility used for flashing the HD2. But it is not able to verfiy the information on the phone.

rename it pc10img.zip, boot into fastboot, select bootloader. Tell me if it flashes.
Sent from my G2.

There are instructions elsewhere to do it but you will have to search for the .zip file that the ruu program extracts to a temp directory on your pc and rename that file before you put it on your sd card to try it out.

If I remember correctly renaming it update.zip works fine in both bootloader and recovery also.
Edit: should be named update.zip when you find it to begin with.

would it not effect radio in the U.S? i mean the desire Z and the G2 user same radios? same frequencies? just wondering. the reason it doesnt find your device when you are running the RUU is you might not have htc sync
and if you do have htc sync i got a feeling it needs the phone to be able to have that option, i.e. when you connect up a sense ui phone it gives you an option for htc sync. but no harm in trying to see if htc sync can recongise your phones, if so maybe a chance with a gold card to flash the RUU
i don't have a G2 so i can't try. i have the desire Hd and the desire Z comes next month

So far gold cards have done nothing for the g2 from what I have read (could have missed something) and if it is for the desire z it will not flash to the g2. They have tried it in another thread with no luck with and with out the gold card.

Does not flash. Seems like a no go. Also, a good deal bigger than the stock TMO rom that's up for download here on XDA, a Sense rom then?

it seems to get close on my phone

That's normal behavior.
It WILL fail after that.
I remember that Paul had a hacked test RUU for the Desire...

it doesnt work, I tried with both the program and thru SD Card, and it fails

when trying in SD where does it fail?

Hey there everyone. I have a myTouch and when I try and root using visionary it says that I am already rooted but if i go into the terminal emulator and I typer in su it says permission denied. I already wiped the os, cache, and sd. Please help
Thanks

Use the Manual method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225

But the problem is that I can not even get temp root. VISIONary says there is root but the terminal says permission denied when I try and get root access.

No dude you got me wrong. I'm just amused that the problem is really solved that simply. It would never have occurred to me to try that. I've only just started playing with visionary on my phone about half an hour ago so I have virtually zero experience rooting the mt4g so far.
Was not talking **** but I totally appreciate your supportive attitude and I agree with your statements. I was a super-noob and am still pretty darn noobish. I actually enjoy helping where I can and I put links in my sig in case they come in handy for others.

Oh... Sorry for coming off so harsh.
Do you have any questions or need any help?

Since this is no longer development related, I am moving to General section

Okay. Sorry for being off topic. But if you need help please ask here.

No worries, your heart was in the right place. I think I'm ok for now. Going out of town this weekend so won't be able to play with this until probably tuesday night.
Also kinda waiting for CM6 to be available for our phones.

Yup Cyanogen Mod 6.1 will be amazing. They have already booted it but the status of the ROM is unknown

How to root
First Question? Do you get and OTA Update (You can check by going to System -> About Phone -> Software Information. If you have gotten the update then under Android version it would say 2.2.1.
Next you need to follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
What I did is I downloaded the program droid explorer (PC) (http://de.codeplex.com/) and it set up the whole adb system. All I did was to plug the phone in and copy the two files using Super Manager (Phone) and the ran the 2 commands minus the adb part of the command.
Download Visionary (http://android.modaco.com/content/t...350/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/) and then copy the apk file to your sd card.
Then mount your phone to your pc and copy the two files on to the root of your SD Card
Then open up super manager and go to settings and Enable ROOT Function, and show hidden files.
Then go the the copied files and cut them (Hi-light check box and hit the pair of scissors)
The keep navigating up one level until you cant go up anymore.
Then navigate to data
Then inside of data select local and paste the files there.
Then plug your phone in but dont mount it ( When you plug in it pull down the notification bar and select USB CONNECTION Change Type and change it to charge only.
The open Droid Explorer and it will recognize your phone
Look on the tool bar and hit the icon that looks like the command prompt icon.
The type su an on your phone you will get a prompt for superuser on your phone accept it.
Then copy and paste the following commands
insmod /data/local/wpx.ko You should get an error stating "function not implemented" this is what you want
dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Then type sync and wait about 5 min and then reboot.
Complete Credit for this guide goes to grankin01 I just broke it down step by step.
Hope this helps

[SCRIPT] Kies Connect JPU

yay, it's my birthday.
Oké first of all, I have my XDA account longer than I have my first smartphone.
So I'm really new to all this.
For the last few day's I've tried to connect to KIES with the leaked JPU firmware (Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition).
I finally made this script which saves me all the hassle in changing the settings and going to TouchWiz Launcher because that´s where you need to be for KIES to work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDeLvmMzUdQ
Phone NEEDS to be in USB debugging mode for some reason..
Have no clue why, hope you can give me tips and feedback to get my coding skills on
I should learn Java as well because I won't come very far using the terminal in this way I suppose xD
Put script in /sdcard/sgstools/
Run script through sgstools (free in the market)
Inspired by thomas_d_j

Thank's this method its ok for me.
and.... Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday...
worcks at me too nice job
__________
Scorpyons

Happy Birthday
works great - thanks!

Very Good! All other methods can Suc k it~ well done and happy bday!

Well done, great attempt for being new to the smartphone community.
Happy birthday btw.

Happy Birthday
Will this only work on the Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition, or is there a way to get this working on the stock JPU firmware?

The original script is from the stock JPU thread, you can go there by the link in the first post. Just click on thomas_d_j who came up with the solution in the first place. If you are using the TouchWiz launcher, you'll probably won't need my script and thomas_d_j's will be sufficient. It works on stock JPU though.

Thanks, I just tried it and now I can connect to Kies just fone Good job!

Happy birthday. Will try it and will give a feedback. Hope it will work.

hi thanks for the fix.
i put the JPU_Kies_Connect_Fix_JIP.txt in my internal sd card
boot up sgstools and apply script, but theres no JPU_Kies_Connect_Fix_JIP.txt found!
btw. what barcode above? if i need it inorder to do this, then i am ****ed, coz my barcode scanned not working

This will help a lot of people who use Kies to backup their contacts & sms.

The text file needs to be at a specific folder on sdcard. Just search.

The qr code posted only brings up text contained in the text file you downloaded.

You need to put the txt files in /sdcard/sgstool/
Good question though.

theres probably an easier way , but i logged into this thread on my phone and downloaded the script that way .
then i found it in my files then copied it into sgstools.
then i ran it through sgstools.
one question though , do you have to rerun the script after every reboot ? seems like it here

Yes this is a temporary fix which you have to apply every time you want to connect to KIES.
After a reboot the changes will be gone, except for the USB settings.
They'll stay as the script have set them to be, if you do not change them manually. after the script has been ran.
Did it work for you and do you have any idea to make it better?

Hi,
i'm new in this and have one question.
I updated to JPU and Kies don't run anymore. Now i downloaded the sgstool and the script. Do i have to root my phone first? Or can i do the steps w/o rooting the phone?
If i have to root, any link for a "good" root incl. tut.?
Thanks a lot!

Yes you have to have root access.
So since you've updated to JPU I suppose you've used Odin?
Download CF-Root
Unzip it.
Open Odin, choose the file you've just extracted (.tar file) as PDA in Odin.
Put your phone in Download mode.
Connect your phone, wait until Odin says it's Added and flash.
Now you've rooted your phone.
Very easy

Step-by-step How-To root Froyo for newbs

OK, so I got my stock Dell streak unlocked Froyo last week and I wanted to unlock it. I read the various threads and it was a bit unclear what worked and what didn't. So here is how I did it for you peeps with new Streaks:
Note: this is for Windows only... (has been tested and works on basebands 315 and 318)
1) download and install the Windows drivers from here:
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Handheld/R288920.exe
2) download SuperOneClick 1.5.5 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=437039&d=1289271263
3) extract SuperOneClick on your hard drive
4) put your Streak in USB debugging mode: Settings>Applications>Development>turn on USB Debugging
5) plug your Streak into the computer - do not mount the SD card
6) right click on SuperOneClick.exe and run as administrator
7) click "Root" and watch the progress and follow instructions.
8) if all went well, you can then find the SuperUser app on your Streak.
If this fails, there are a couple of things that can be done that will likely lead to success. One is to try the above procedure with the SD card taken out of the phone. The other option is to turn the phone off and start the root process as above. When the process gets to "Waiting on Device" then turn the phone on.
Hope this helps...

Would z4root be a lot easier and less time-consuming way than above post? I used z4root 1.2, and it works like a charm!

I never tried z4root because most of the posts I read said it didn't work for Froyo 2.2...
Glad there's another way to do it
Anyway, my point was to explain a step-by-step way for newbs like me.

Unfortunately zroot 1.3 does not work on my streak
AND I AM USING MAC, THX ANYWAY

I tried to download the SuperOneClick but my antivirus block it every time because there is a trojan virus

Hello daesdaemar,
Many thanks for your post. It's a good step by step reference. I am expecting my Dell factory shipped Froyo Red Streak to show up any time soon...
DO you have a list of tips and tricks / tweaks to configure, or install some basic but key apps to get your Dell Streak to optimal run state?
A list like this: Once you receive a factory shipped Froyo Streak, do this:
1. Root it (see daesdarmar's method)
2. Set up keyboard for Swype since it's the best option (or download and replace Swype with latest beta version optimized for Streak 5" screen)
3. Install App X and tweak these to speed up processor frequency
4. Install "Bloat Manager" to disable any un-necessary Dell apps etc
5.
6.
7. etc
I was searching around for a nice list of "To-dos" from anyone who recently received a factory installed Froyo Streak but I can't find a good list around and handy....
Let me know if you can help build one or share one ...
Thanks in advance.

I am a new Streaker, so I don't know that I'm the one to compile a list of essentials, but I did the following in the first day or so just to make it seem a bit better/more personal:
1) rooted
2) Titanium Back Up for freeze/uninstall bloatware
3) AstroFile and File Expert to serve as file managers and connect to my home network
4) QQPlayer to watch videos
5) JustPictures! for my photos
6) Multi Picture Live for wallpaper manipulations
7) Kindle and Aldiko readers
8) Dropbox
9) Extended Controls - nice widget
Trying to figure out if there is a better browser...
Just playing with it and having a good time

I recently got a carrier unlocked Streak with Android 2.2 from Dell. I received it with 2.2 on it. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Root it - see steps in OP
2. Install Titanium backup (paid) and freeze the apps I don't/won't use.
3. Install Root Explorer
4. Changed this line debug.sf.hw=0 to this debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop. See this
5. I use SlideIt for my keyboard most of the time. I like it better than Swype and I had already paid for it with my old phone. I have been trying Thumb Keyboard for landcape and also have Better Keyboard..
6. I use LauncherPro (donation version) for my home app with just 3 screens.
What's bloat and what's useful is different depending on your needs.

Fantastic and very straight forward.
Thanks so much.

That's what worked for me on baseband 318, using a WinXP pro computer. May also work just by unmounting the SD Card in Menu->Settings->SD card & phone storage.
Even though I was not turning on USB storage when I connected the USB cable the computer was seeing the SD Card as a removable drive in Windows Explorer.

Market working on the vega 1.8 firmware

No need to install modaco R6 as it is not fully compatible with the latest vega firmware 1.8. Just follow these simple instructions and it will be working without any add-ons at all. CWM people will probably have to do it via the recovery.
Just download the attachment with the vega, go to settings, software tool, software update and point it to where you got the downloaded file. The vega will reboot and you will have a full working market. It will be the old version the first time you launch it but it will update itself. After that just install maps, youtube and everything else google. The only thing I'm having trouble installing is the official twitter app.
Hope that helps you guys at XDADEV

The android out of the box symbol is fine thats when it is flashing the files. there should be a progress bar that turns orange, after that happens the device should reboot its self. The only requirement is you are running stock v1.08.

I have noticed launcher pro does not show in the market had to install manually. i have tried changing the market files, but that does not work, so it might be as you say down to location, or i think it could be to do with are device name on the market, maybe advent does not want us to have those apps. I cant remember where the device name is. I will have to look further.

Thanks o_g, there is no progress bar? And if i leave the vega notfhing happens. Running stock 1.08. I'm wonering if i have been sent a second or a return. The battery was fully charged out of the box and the screen polythene had most definately been removed and replaced. Need to do some more reading methinks

Thanks for the assistance guys, my memory card was the culprit. I had swapped it for a bigger one, and not copied the contents. Sorted now tho now to get flash working properly

It works ok, you need to delete some of the apk's out of files/system/app. things like car home can be deleted and other little things. Like that it will not run out of space when you install it and it will not give you errors. This is just another option, that's all. Some more goodies will come along from modaco and xdadev like the new R7 rom addon that were made specifically for the 1.08 firmware.

thanks man, i just changed the 0 to a 1 at the end and it worked, then market updated the second time i opened it.
been trying to do this for over 2 wks
