[Q] Help. Big noob with legend andriod.

Hey guys,
First and foremost, I would like to say I have no idea about anything, and everything on this website is in a foreign language to me (can't understand anything), so please bear with me. I set up a new thread because after reading everything, I still don't get anything (being a noob).
I just signed up with vodaphone in australia to get a HTC Legend (my first android and smart phone after using n73 for the last 3years). Everything is going fine until I wanted to get apps from the android market. I didnt have a gmail account, so I signed up for one through my computer. However, when i tried signing in through the phone google account set-up wizard, after waiting 5mins for the phone to communicate with google servers, it fails and the phone would not let me, citing that it cant establish a reliable data connection to the server, being a temporary problem (Tried it with both 3G and wi-fi, also with 2 other friend's log-in). Any help on this would be good. Also, with HTC sync 3.0, I was unable to sync and backup all my sms for a factory reset. Is there any other ways to do this without the apps? Additionally, I cannot update my software to Froyo (Firmware 2.2) FOTA or finding a download for it onto my comp as the phone says my software is up-to-date (But HTC Australia shows that there is an update for Software 2.2 FOTA).
Alright, I know what goes through your mind, get the apps to do that, but without the sign-up for gmail settings, I cant access Market, cant download apps, basically cant do anything (and mind you, I dont know about programming or xda or anything of that sort to check the shell script or whatever that goes on in the forum).
I've went around looking for answers but never really got a definition, mostly about how-to's which I am not interested as I have no idea what they are.
What is flashing?
What is rooting?
What is un-branded or Vodaphone branded (in my case, if it makes sense)?
What is a goldcard and what's it for?
Is RUU or custom rom or rom the same thing? does that have to do with my firmware? and what is it?
What's with downgrading and upgrading for other stuff (to versions 1.1/1.3)?
What is Clockwork and Fastmode and all those other stuff?
What's the latest firmware/software for Legend (2.2 or 3.0) as I have read threads with firmware 1.3 or 3.3 (or something of that sort)?
I know I AM the biggest noob you guys will ever find. Seriously, no websites actually explain all these stuff, and I'm getting paranoid over using an android phone. I know you guys might just tell me to get a simpler phone, but I upgraded to an android to know more about it.
Thanks in advance guys, if any help can be provided. I have a cool phone, but I wanna use it fully.
Regards,
William

http://zubu.ca/legend/fota_check.php shows that there is no update available for your build, I suggest you debrand.
I just helped about with the basics, the more experienced people will be able to answer you better. Did you get a black Legend?

hey man, thanks for that. mightily helpful.
however, wat do u mean by various settings for wifi? there arent much to set.
also, what do u mean by debranding as well? like not go vodaphone or smtg like dat?

You are correct, I have said about apps. If you temproot using visionary you can install Titanium backup which can backup everything. Both of these are available for "sideloading". Without a file manager on your phone I can't think of an easy way to install them. What I'd do is go to the settings, make sure USB debuging is on (Settings --> applications --> development) and then use adb to install it:
Code:
adb devices
adb install Visionary.apk
adb install Titanium-Backup.apk
This is assuming that you rename the files to Visionary and Titanium-Backup, and have them in the same directory as ADB. For an easy installation of ADB do this:
Download this file and unzip it to C:\Android\ADB\
Open cmd (start orb/button, type "cmd" and hit enter)
In cmd do this:
Code:
cd C:\Android\ADB
Now you can use the adb command listed above. If you have the apk files in the same folder you can pretty much copy-paste those commands

Flashing is the process of writing a new operating system to NAND (internal) memory, otherwise known as flash memory
Rooting is like gaining administrator rights on a Windows PC. On Unix-like systems (Android, Linux, OSX) this is known as the root account, hence "rooting"
Vodafone branded means that Vodafone has it's logos and apps on there. Think of the ROM on your phone as a custom ROM, made by Vodafone. You need to wait for Vodafone to update it. Un-branded simply mean that all of that is gone, it's like having the ROM that HTC meant for it. So we only need to wait for HTC to update it
A goldcard is an SD card that has been specially prepared for making the phone think it's CID is different. I don't fully understand how it works, all we need to know is that it does, and that we need one for rooting
ROM and firmware are the same thing RUU is "ROM Upgrade Utility". It's a method made by HTC for upgrading the phones firmware. A custom ROM is simply a ROM that's been customised. It may be based on the official ROM from HTC, or the open source version of Android
ClockworkMOD is an open source recovery image. It allows us to do full backups of the NAND memory (nandroid backup), as well as easily installing new ROMs/updates. These come in zip files Fastboot is a way to test stuff quickly. It allows you to flash certain parts of a ROM without the need to flash the whole thing, as well as boot from a kernel that isn't flahed to the device. It's a dev thing
The latest version of Android for the Legend (officially) is 2.2. HTC firmwares follow a different numbering scheme. HTC ROMs v. 1.x and 2.x are based on Android 2.1, and v. 3.x is based on 2.2

[Q] Looking for help from other Focus unbranders w/ NoDo

I've already tried posting this in the official thread in the WP7 General board but I'm certain it's already been lost in the commotion. So here's the deal:
1) I initially downloaded the PBK file and couldn't run it due to having Adobe Software installed.
2) I managed to discover that rasphone.exe is the program that's supposed to run PBK files and made it the default program for it.
3) When I run the PBK file it tells me the "phonebook is empty."
This means I can't just go in and select the hungarian VPN and go. Would someone be so kind as to go into the properties for the network, and copy down all settings? I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same situation...

try right clicking the file and use open remote access or whatever the name is...that fixed it for me

Ahaha, you can manually set up a new vpn using ttu.2.usaip.eu as the server, and the update seems to be working

"there is a problem parsing the package"

Guys,
I'm so angry , I just rooted the nook glowlight and am unable to install any apk files.
I'm always getting "there is a problem parsing the package", whatever I found on the internet :crying:
Is there no file explorer by default on it ? And why this parse error ?
And most websites just crash, grrr
Anyone, anyone please anyone : HELP MEEEE

Do you have ADB working? Can you see a logcat?
Do you know that these APKs are actually good and designed for API level 7?

Also, is installation of apps from unknown sources enabled in nook color tools? Most (all?) of the NST rooting packages include it, but you do have to set the flag to get packages found via the internet (rather than the google store) and copied to the device to install.

I get that error sometimes when downloading .apk files from some sites. Your browser might not be downloading the file with the correct filetype suffix. Can you see if it has the .apk suffix on it? I've found that some browsers do better than others with handling this file-type. If you can get xScope browser or Opera Mobile I think those were better. It's also possible that a retry of the download will work, or that the file itself is just bad.

I get the same error on my nook simple touch.
the same apk's work on my galaxy nexus.
Anyone knows what might be the problem and how to solve it?

A logcat will tell you exactly what the problem is.
Use ADB and get a logcat.

Wrong forum.
Try installing any other package with requirements : 2.1+
In Settings check "Allow Installation of Non-Market Apps" .
Install apk from SDCARD.
I'm 90% sure you are just trying to install a package not compatible with A 2.1.

I have a similar problem...
new to rooting and romming, finaly!!!! got my ms770 lg motion back to stock and I too am getting the error " there is a problem parsing the package".
I noticed that if I download an app, it installs fine, no problem...but when I transfer from my pc, it shows up with that error message when I try to install.
I have read a LOT of these forums , trying to determine how to solve this riddle...they all say try THIS file manager, or, make sure installation of non-market apps is checked, or some such thing...
Well, the "allow installation of non-market apps" thing IS checked...still no dice...
What do I do with the log once I get it?
Basically....can someone please point me in the right direction? Please?

is there a bootloader fix option for w1-U34(GDR1 Windmobile-Canada ) . I tried your app with both u00 and c00 options andIt shows the phone in device manager and in step 4 "Phone Connected". But in step 5 it shows waiting for phone to restart, With an error message " Image download Failed. Cookie (if Present) not Received. Could you add an option of this model too, or is there a way to change it from u34 to u00.
P.S on a sidenote Great job on the app its pretty easy to use, I do get an error when I open it runtime error '53' - File not found, after I click ok opens the app not sure if im missing something or its a problem with the app

Any Huawei apps with Interop caps are possible to install like Memory managment?

You should details this jailbreak, most users do not know what expect after it. Anything new on menu, visible an partition hided before or Interop etc

Problems with FIrefoxOS: keyboard too small, email not working, sim contacts

Hello,
I've recently bought a ZTE open with FirefoxOS.
For me the keyboard is too small for my fingers. Is there anyway to increase the size? Or install an app for an alternative keyboard? I had a quick look on marketplace but found nothing.
Also I set up my academic email with the stock email client but it doesn't work, even with manual set up. I suspect it's because of SSL not being enabled. Are there any email clients that allow chaning SSL settings?
After swapping my sim card into the new phone, some of my contacts have not been imported. Before you ask, yes these were stored on the sim and not the phone. Strangely, my new contactslist has contacts that I have deleted in the past and the old names of contacts I have since changed.

What version of FirefoxOS is your Open running?
The keyboard isn't all that small, the problem is actually that the keyboard is really inaccurate in V1.1, slightly improved in v1.2, and gets progressively better as the versions go up. The keyboard (same size) on v2.1 is a joy to use, but still no match for a physical QWERTY keyboard.
What type of email is your academic email? Mine is using Google Apps (Gmail), and after manual setup, it works fine. You can set up the SSL settings right in the email client.
Sounds like your old phone was saving your changed contacts to the internal memory and not the SIM.

I guess this may be because the SIM reached the limit for contacts. So I guess I could delete some contacts and then copy them to the SIM.

ZTE Open for US or EU?
You'll need to download the official ZTE Open v1.1 ROM for your version (US or EU) that says it is for v1.0
This thread has a nice guide:
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/12/upgrading-your-zte-open-to-firefox-os-1-1/
If you want to go beyond v1.1, ZTE has developer pre-release version of v1.2 that mostly works okay.
Beyond that, things start to break and you're more or less on your own. There are no official final versions after v1.1, so you'll have to compile your own from source, or flash a pre-compiled version from someone else.
Check this thread here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587484

There should be a little text that says manual configuration. On v1.1 and above you can change the SSL settings, but I'm not sure what version brought support for Exchange Active Sync, if your server is using that instead of IMAP.

Is it possible to go from version 1.00 to 1.2?
Or do you have to go from 1.0 to 1.1 and then 1.2?

It might be possible, but you could run into issues because ZTE was supposed to unlock the bootloader during the v1.1 update series.
I'd step through from v1.0 to v1.1 and then to v1.2.
Once you've done that, you can do whatever

Tried updating to 1.1
When appling the update, I get this error:
"signature verification failed", searched online and there doesn't seem to be a solution. And yes, I am using the correct region firmware.

That isn't right. I got that when I didn't download the v1.1 (for v1.0) update on my device when I first started. I had to go v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, and then from there.
Also, make sure you don't muck with the zip at all after you download it. No unzipping, no editing the contents, nothing.

We have same type of signature errors on open C, using custom recovery should help as signature checking can be turned off.

How do I use custom recovery?

No, but I had to download the proper v1.1 update (designed to be flashed over v1.0 firmware), in order to not get the signature verification failed message.
Read these two carefully. One will only flash over v1.0 base, one will only flash over v1.1 base.

CWM you have to flash over your recovery partition. I found it wouldn't flash any of the stock ROMs for my Open successfully with signature verification On/Off, so I removed it.

Right, I tried to flash this ROM :
OPEN(American Standard) SD card upgrading instruction & software package(ebay)-237620B0669OPEN_US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B02(for V1.0)
Because I have a V 1.0 base. When I tried to flash it I got this error about asserting getprop. I searched online and found this solution:

This involved modifying the updater script. Surprisngly, this didn't work because now I get the signature verification error I was getting with the other ROM.
Is there a way to turn off signature verification? Or to fix the getprop error?

EDIT:For anyone wondering, the error was because I was trying to flash the wrong firmware version.
