Android Market

Hi all,
Just got my unlocked HTC Magic yesterday. Purchased in Malaysia.
However, there is no access to android market (not installed on phone).
The gmail contact sync, google calander sync is also not there. anyone can help me with this?

You could always go here for your apps. Sorry can't help with the Google stuff.

You could always try to follow one of the guides, and do a genaric reflash on the rom? Is yours a google, or htc? Easiest way to find out is to check the battery cover, if it says google or htc on it. From there, if what Clinton wrote doesn't work out, just find a guide in the development subforum, and go from there.

mine is the HTC branded one. the thing is, i am not really sure on how to proceed with reflashing the ROMs. tried reading the quides but there are some things i don't understand.

Well if you want to flash a rom you'll need to figure out which SPL your phone uses, see if it's flashable. Here's a list of the SPLs for the Magic. And Here's the guide I would fallow to do the ROM Flash and backup.
Clinton

thanks..reading up and i am starting to understand a little. will try it out later. downloading the files now (SDK,recovery,ROM)

Yes, I'm. I afraid I can offer very limited help as I don't own a magic, just helping my wife to get her full access to all google services.
I guess as long as adb and fastboot works well on your laptop, thing should be pretty straightforward. As a precaution, don't try rom that 've no positive feedback from other forum user or if you are not sure whether it is for your model ( there are 2 version of magic - pvt32a and pvt32b, the malaysia version is pvt32a ). Finally, flashing radio and spl could be dangerous, definitely not for beginner.

Low

Fews more things to add:
* the daldroid rom include both google services and microsoft exchange client. note that some of the rom out there doesn't include the htc exchange client.
* you will have to manually enter apn ( for 3g access ) after you flash your phone so do note your current apn setting down.
* backup your current rom using nandroid before flash
* a tricky thing here is the sdcard doesn't immediately comes online when you fastboot your phone, sometime u have to wait for a minute.
* the first boot after flash is very slow, be patient ( read somewhere that can use adb logcat to monitor the progress, not sure but u can try ).

i see. that is probably why i can't get the backup to work. thanks. really helpful there.

I see, thanks for the info. i take the daldroid ROM then. having both google and exchange is good for future use. Do i need to reflash the the radio and spl if i take the daldroid ROM?

Success. managed to load dildroid ROM. all working so far
Thanks to aniteshj for suggesting the reflash. and ClintonH and Hengsin for the useful useful links.
and props to the tireless people behind the guides, the ROM, the fastboots. all of you rock.

Orange Hero Help!!!

Hi, I'm going out of my mind trying to get to 2.1 but I need to update to the .66 from February.
I'm using Windows 7 32bit and once or twice I have managed to get the phone to start to update but it comes back with error 170. I've tried everything I can think of. Downloaded the drivers and updated but in Device Manager I have either 'HTC Dream ADB Composite Interface' or in disk drives 'HTC Android Phone USB'.
Is there any way I can boot the update from my SD card?
Any help will be fantastic.

I'm having this exact same problem, tried updating the drivers but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings folks,
Try the following :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7404108&postcount=94
Make sure you have the right settings under " USB debugging "
Settings - Applications - Development
Or why not root and use another rom like SenseHero B5.1
This is the one i like the most by far,
Means you have to downgrade your ROM version to 2.73.61.5Â

Nice and easy to follow and ever time i go back to a RRU file from orange only ever lasts about 2 days at the most,

Thanks for the reply Steven.
Can I just clarify that if I follow the www.theunlockr.com method by rooting the phone I can then load the official .66 firmware? If this is the way to do it, where can I get that firmware from?
To be honest, I'm not wanting to put on any other custom firmwares and I want to update to the HTC official 2.1 firmware only.
Thanks again for any help.

No no rooting was only to use custom roms,
How ever if it comes to it flash to another rom and then back to .66
First you need to get orange RRU ROM version 2.73.61.5 from
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=675
Flash this and on first boot you should get a message to advise of a update,
No need to finish setting the phone up but go a head with the download,
Once downloaded it will flash a new radio and reboot,
Then you should have .66
I was still trying to get 2.1 from orange last night,
Ever time i asked it to check for updates it said it was up to date all ready yet still on 15
Back to using a custom rom again today,
Hope your able to get sorted soon folks.

Sorted. Updated it with my mates laptop running Vista. Updating to 2.1 now. THANK GOD!!!

Support for Baseband 7921 - Tips,Guidance,How-To's

While the rest of you guys have been tinkering and hacking your Dell Streaks for quite a few months now, those of us in Canada have only just started getting our Dell Streaks through the Rogers network.
Unfortunately Dell is shipping these Streaks with the Baseband numbered as 7921 - and very little, and in some cases, zero tutorials or information is available on doing anything with this Baseband.
Having come from an HTC Desire that has been ridiculously easy to root and modify, I am pleading, almost begging for the Dell Streak community here on XDA to help out with any solid clues and/or tips to working with 7921.
Even the Superboot method doesn't have any files available for 7921. As of now, I can't root this thing unless I just take a blind chance with some other Baseband's superboot method.
Having read some other forum posts, both here and on MoDaCo ( and believe me, I have used the search feature to go through every related post possible ) - I know that there are a few people out there who have managed to root 7921 and even upgrade, but nobody has posted a single solid tutorial.
Please?
A few tips, some guidance, maybe a tutorial?
Pretty please?
Anyone?

Im in this boat. Ive tried everything i cannot get this thing to upload a update.pkg i can flash recoveries no problem, nothing seems to work i have tried going to o2 1.6 will not flash o2 2.1 nothing. mostly i get the status 7 error while its trying to flash assert failed /tmp/boot.img
I rooted with universal androot.

actually does anyone have the "original" recovery that came with a 7921 device?

Can you try using this : mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_318_12821_00.pkg
smoku on #dellstreak – freenode on IRC suggested it. This should also flash the AMSS and I'm presuming that it will change your baseband to 00. That should open up the possibility of updating to Dell 2.2 or Steve's ROM.
But I can't confirm this until you try it first.. let me know please?

Well I still have a Virgin 7921 phone, if I can figure out how to extract the recovery image. I've never done that before..

I bought mine a few weeks ago and I followed a couple of tutorials in this forum and the modaco forum as well... I was able to change my baseband to 00 and after that update to stock 2.2 .... now I'm running the 318 build and i'm very happy with it....
Just search for the guide to downgrade to baseband 00 is a little tricky but it works... at the end you will have enough experience to move to any build or baseband.

Hi Ivancho,
Is there any chance you could provide us with the exact link to the directions you used? I've read so many different sets of the instructions that I'm confused now. I swear, if I can successfully get 2.2 on this without screwing it up I will write a full blown walk through myself

FOTA Model name mismatch, rebooting in 30 seconds.
got that while trying to flash the above.

Dammit. Sorry. Was hoping that would work. Kind of getting demoralized with this now.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!do this. i just finished and now am at build 6601! This works!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
scroll down till u get to where it says
if you just wanted to revert to O2 1.6 (build 4399) then you are done. If you are going to AT&T 1.6 (build 6601) we have to change the system so it will upgrade the the AT&T ROM.

Official Hong Kong 2.2 ROM is out!! Yeah!

LOL may be its old news but anyway just to share if anyone wants it or needs it ~~
the direct link is down somehow....

i've no idea (i want to find out too XDD dunno wht have changed)as this is an unlocked version, and my streak is bought unlocked so i only have 318 ver on it apperently it's a bit better than the 318 ver as some bolted apps are gone... i've never tried 319 as its an o2 locked ver if i'm not wrong
ps this is a 322 ver which is 11-EU build for hong kong unlocked retail streak

At .least it removes the "daggling notification bar" bug.

is english a language in it? can it be used in the states?

It started in traditional Chinese when flashed, but you can change the language immediately along the initial setup process.

Sorry i'm on 318
and actually My Streak is from at&t and I unlocked it with the code then I flash the O2 rom to my device
Hesitate to upgrade .. looking forward to 2.3 but no hope right?

Anyone Please upload stock recovery to flash the new firmware !!
I didn't have one

I flashed with the attached recovery. I like this rom, seems a little smoother than 318 thus far.
It installs in Chinese but you just need to touch the bottom right corner when it boots to change to English.
My Streak is the White Best Buy version, unlocked.

Right, it little bit smoother than 318.
And Google pinyin chinese input method is back!
CPU idle speed is 384Mhz thats mean more power juice. lol

so the radio and everything else works ok for US ATT?
thinking of flashing this evening if the answer is yes.

how about with europian unlocked one ??

I just loaded the 322 package. I have to go through and make my changes.. but wifi and data work fine on it.
gotta update my framework-res.apk and services.odex
titanium backup restore
load armani font
exchange accounts..
and then should be back in business. Will let everyone know how it goes, I have been running 318 without issue for about 3 weeks.
Interested to see the build number for the att release coming out soon.

I run mine on the Telstra network (850) with no problems. Running LCD density 240,with no FCs as yet. I have ORD though so I imagine I'll go back to Steve's ROM soon... it's good to have a break from FCs for now though.
Not the biggest fan of the new keyboard because of the Chinese but that's no issue because I use the Gingerbread keyboard.

What is the best way to update to this? I tried just updating the package and as a zip file but neither works.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I wonder if it fixes the FC (sometimes) when hang up a call....

So my impressions so far...
I was able to edit the services.odex for theming.
I AM UNABLE to theme the framework-res.apk without borking the 322 OS. Tried a few different ways. Got the kitchen to work, but all apps would FC on me.
Once the crap is removed, 322 appears to be noticeably zippier then 318. I am going to hold on to it for a few days and let everyone know.
I won't be pleased without a real batter percentage meter or a black taskbar.. but will see. Maybe someone else can figure out the issues with the framework-res.apk

I have made some headway with the theming on 322. The only way i can get it to work is the following
1. take framework-res.apk and run at circle kitchen
2. export edited framework-res.apk
3. overwrite graphics you want carefully.
4. edit the statusbar_expanded for font color
5. go back to circle kitchen make a flashable zip
6 . load with streakmod recovery.
took many hours to get this to work... the above is the only way i was able to do it.

I am giving up on 322... have that notification issue where it just phantomly appears...
going to try dj steve rom now for the first time.
