There's a lot of info out there about getting away from sd cards. 2 articles that I had on hand discuss it some, with the key informants being, Dan Morrill and Dianne Hackborn both key players in Android development. Here's those articles I had that discuss it, but there's lots more. Now...

My understanding is that a phone does register on T-mo and associate the IMEI and SIM. If you've ever looked at your Plan on My T-mobile you see that your phone is listed. When I switched from a Wildfire S to the Amaze it did switch after a couple days and show the amaze...all on its own, and...

I don't see where you activated the SIM that you got from GiffGaff. If you didn't, go to their site and click on, "Activate SIM" and follow the prompts.

My first suggestion would be to remove the battery for a couple of seconds, replace it and then push the power button and see what happens. If you're still having problems, or not, post where you're at with this please.

So if you hook the phone up to the computer and at a command prompt type, "adb devices" it returns your device serial number; but, if you then type, "adb reboot recovery" and are then in the bootloader fastboot and type, "fastboot devices" it doesn't return the device serial number?

Have you tried putting in the SIM you want to use then going into your Mobile Network Settings and searching Network Operators, then selecting the network; and/or, resetting your APN to default?

Just to clarify exactly what you're doing, it should be, remove the battery for a couple seconds, replace it and the back, hold volume down and press power until your in the bootloader.

Did you figure this out? If not, and from above it sounds like you have it all set up. Once in HTC sync on your PC (with the phone hooked up and, "HTC sync" selected as the, "Connect to PC" choice) and the device panel opens just select what you want to sync on the right.

It's not uncommon to root and not get busybox installed, which TB needs to do it's magic. If you open TB and click on the, "Problems" button it will install it's own busybox so it can work. If you've solved this please post back so others know not to continue posting possible solutions like I...

I just discovered your question with no answers last night when scrolling through on my phone before falling asleep so: This primarily has to do with the difference between web email and client email. Keep in mind that, as always, terms can mean different things depending on the content in...

Going back isn't always easy and it's made more difficult because your nephew's phone is Tesco branded. Anyway, I got some sleep, and some rest so I looked over these referenced RUUs and ROMs. I pulled the, "ROM.zip" out of both the Tesco 1.37 and Europe 2.26 RUUs, unzipped the Eu2.26 and see...

Don't know where you're at with this, but # 3. here looks promising, might be worth a try. Totally stock and based on the latest EU 2.26.401.3 release,android version: 2.3.5 multi language support. You have the 2.26 software as you know. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143410

I'm working from memory, and I'm only going by what you typed, but I'll suggest 2 things for your consideration/research: I'm unsure how you used, "fastboot oem flash recovery". In my wildfireS (Marvel) the command, "fastboot oem..." doesn't have a flash command option. I'm wondering if this...

I understand completely. I'm not saying your phone is junk, far from it; but, I've seen phones that are pure junk sell for good prices on eBay. That's what makes it so hard to buy them, fix them up, and resell them at a profit...I have tried! I did have other ideas than to sell this one though...

Here's what I see: obviously your bootloader was updated to 1.09.0099 when it was unlocked on htcdev.com. Your radio is 7.57.39.10M Somewhere along the way you seem to have been updated to software version 2.26.1107.1 (the latest and greatest OTA from Tesco/O2?) Note 1107 is a WWE [as region]...

You inspired me to read a little more last night and I did see where some people found a fix by uninstalling and then installing new (not from backup), then restoring their contacts. Seems like you've proved that point! Interestingly I read that ALL of your contacts are stored on the Whatsapp...

bvzxa3, If you're just talking about paying shipping, I'd like to have your old Amaze...that is if you're in the US.

Wow, you were busy last night while most of the western world slept :). I'm guessing if I posted at 11:10 PM and you said it was 4:00 AM, that your in the London timeline. I thought a little bit more, later, and I think that person's post I read fixed his phone by eventually getting into...

This might be all I can offer but two things come to mind. The first is you said volume up its volume down to get into the bootloader. The other is to search in the wildfire forum regarding whatsapp. Recently I read a post about a guy who's phone crashed from whatsapp. I don't remember how he...

I was thinking about deleting that last post from earlier today because it's just an alternate method if the RUU can't find your phone from Windows or something. So far you have not gotten dumb errors...they're all giving more information and seem appropriate to finding the right RUU. So, I'll...

All that being said, you might be quickly approaching the point where you're ready to bypass any double-checks or whatever that an RUU does. If you decide to try and extract the ROM or ROM files from your selected RUU and flash from hboot, this is an excellent guide with pics. It's based on an...

I was at an HOA meeting ::sheesh:: anyway, if I understand from that pic you posted, it looks like that 1400 you mention in your current version means china...like the CID region and language is China. Look at what it says When you run that, fastboot getvar all command. What does it say are...

The easy part first :) to check the CID specifically - at a command prompt (hooked up and in fastboot) type: fastboot getvar CID You can see the CID and a bunch of other stuff with the command: fastboot getvar all I always do the, adb devices or fastboot devices to start the daemon/server first...

Which RUU do you have? A generic European one? Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app

Afnanshareef, Phones usually shut off, some people say, "Die" at ±3.2 volts and won't reboot until they get sufficient charge. Not sure whether you replaced he battery a year ago or haven't charged/used it for a year. Try a separate wall charger that you can place the battery in if you have...

Talk about the, "Never ending story"...but that's good! The hardest part about manually flashing an RUU (ROM Update Utility) is mostly finding the right RUU, i.e., up-to-date, right CID (Carrier), and so on. All a manual RUU is, is an OTA (Over The Air) update that has been made into a Windows...

You caught me right at the end of a movie I was watching! I've always been happy with Link2SD, but you can't beat moving all of data to SD. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 also, this is an easy way to get init.d if you don't have that...I think it's needed for...

My first thoughts were some kind of loopback error related to cell broadcasts and/or emergency message notifications. If you consider the times you mentioned, have some imagination, and throw in some cross-talk pollution it might even jive with what h_m_m (heavy_metal_man) was saying (in terms...

I wasn't sure whether there would be some kind of script running in a buffer of the install that might be captured with something like: logcat -b event > /sdcard/logcat.txt so it was a shot in the dark and I don't know what's left, but perhaps someone else that is reading the post might have...

This is particularly challenging because you keep emphasizing that you are doing exactly what (you did?) on the other WFS, and I presume they have identical hboots (which they'd have to if you unlocked using htcdev). You also say that you re-downloaded the different files (recovery, CM9) and...

Instead of potentially aggravating you with 20 questions, I'll just briefly run thru the steps, FWIW. I see you mention CWM. -So, you probably unlocked the booloader at HTC dev and are S-on. -Installed CWM, so you have the adb files and htc sync on your computer. -Rooted, although flashing CM...

I clicked a thanks (and thank you for yours). I enjoyed the exchange and glad you've got it going. The Wildfire S is a great phone, especially for me (although I have my SIM in another phone now) and hopefully your nephew, because it needs to be managed, tuned, tweaked, etc. which is what I...

For as long as I"ve been fooling around with electronic devices, it often still just seems like, "PFM" sometimes; and, I don't know how many times I've done the right thing over and over and over and then just given up and set it aside only to pick it up again a day or two later and then...

Ohhhh...I see you're talking about the HTC Buzz: Wildfire. This is the Wildfire S forum. I don't know the Buzz. You might get better focus on your issue if you move your post to the HTC Buzz: Wildfire forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=678

It shouldn't do that, but I know when I was using the WFS and I would drag the red dismiss/decline button to the lock ring I would sometimes then have to tap end call. I had voice mail turned off so maybe it was trying to send a message? It didn't seem to use minutes. Did you know that when...

I know how it is...we all get fixed on wanting one thing and then intent on making it work. I did a quick look at the page for your intended ROM and first thought, aha...in the instructions to install, the wipe file he provides seems to indicate for a marvelc in the name, so does it wipe all it...

It might sound like I'm not, but I'm serious and I'll say, you didn't spill something on that area...the camera and speaker are right together, maybe if you have kids a sticky finger rubbed something onto into them? The answer is probably no, it's never something easy, so the obvious thing is...

I'm not sure I can help but I would suggest you try to clarify what you are asking and trying to do. You state that you're doing an install of ICS 4.0 on your WFSc. I don't think any WFS, gsm or cdma got the ICS update unless you mean as Cyanogen Mod 9 or some other ROM? You also said...

I wasn't crazy about that last update, at least not on the WFS; and, I'm not sure I like that minimizing the playing video to the corner either, on any phone, but maybe too soon to decide. My suggestion would be to go into Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications and it should open to your...

So far we've been successful with the, "One step back and two steps forward" approach so: You extracted the boot.img file from the ROM zip to your PC for use after and then installed the ROM, rebooted the phone into recovery>>fastboot, hooked up to the PC in a command prompt and changed...

Most recoveries are going to look on the external storage, the actual sd card. Can you move your ROM to that and give it a try? Just to save time, I'll say I'm figurin' the sd card is formatted (FAT 32) and if there's a problem seeing that you might have to go into, "Mounts and Storage" and...

As briefly as I can: Heavy into computers since 1996. Really only need a feature phone with call, sms and a phonebook. Love for technology drew me to smartphones...just had to get into it. Researched and really liked the Amaze for a smartphone, but ::go figure:: didn't like the back. For $$$ and...

Sounds like you're saying you can't do a factory reset anymore and you didn't back up something you could use. I can't talk you through the whole process, but when you're stuck on the HTC logo it usually means that the ROM you're flashing requires a custom kernel. Check where you got the ROM...

You didn't say, so I'm hoping you forgot to take the battery out first, then hold vol down (the whole time while waiting to get in the boot loader) and power to get into your recovery. If you can successfully get in, then consider the info at this link for a stock RUU...

Usually when you're stuck on the HTC logo it's because the ROM you are trying to flash also needs the kernel flashed, which you have to be S-off to do and the developer you got the ROM(s) from should have provided it. You were very general, but I presume a full wipe was cache, dalvik-cache...

What about this 9V designation HTC AC M500 MHL Adapter Recently I became interested in this feature for my Amaze but couldn't really find anything much definitive. Mostly it was speculation about the 7 extra pins or something about trying it out and reporting back - which didn't happen. So I...

HTC MHL AC M500 12 pin adapter I recently got interested in this and bought one from Rakuten, but the audio doesn't work. I tried headset, earbuds, powered speakers. Is the audio port just a 3.5" plug? Maybe I got a bad one. Video works OK though. I'm also curious that mine says, "9VDC...

Hey h_m_m, Thanks for the thanks! I had time Sunday and I found some info and fixed them to show! I used search terms based on your statement that HTC hides some apps by default and found an article that referenced the, "/system/customize/mns/default.xml" file that contained a function...

Sorry h_m_m, I didn't get an email notice of your reply on the 24th. Stocks and Voice Recorder are 2 definite ones. They don't show in Sense, but do in LP, and are discussed in the T-mobile HTC Wildfire S manual. I did notice in LP that there are some that I'm not sure I ever saw. Re: your...

h_m_m, I did a factory data reset myself before, which I believe is really just an erase of data, and not a real reset (like formatting and reinstalling an OS in a computer). Then of course there was the factory reset that occurred after unlocking and rooting. Neither of those changed...
