[Q] Can I rebrand the Desire, after unbranding?

Hello,
I want to root my Phone and unbrand it. At the moment I have a T-Mobile DE Branding with Android 2.2 (Froyo) Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.
My question is, can I flash the t-mobile rom again in case of warranty?
And where can I download this specific rom file?
I dont find it in the sticky thread in the Development section or can I flash a older version?
I hope you understand what I mean.
Greetings, Strece

I think you should be ok if you just flash one of the T-Mo Uk RUUs that can be found in the sticky.

The only T-Mobile UK RUU is for AMOLED-screen Desires. If you've just got you phone it'll be SCLD so it won't work

The mobile phone was bought on the 03.07.10 and then exchanged because of a defect over again on the 20.07.10 for a new one.
How can I check which display type I have?
Greetings, Strece

Look at the box ?

I will look on the box when I finish working ^^, but I got a new one without a new box, so the specifications from the box is for the old phone, not for the new one.

As far as I know, PVT-4 devices don't say on the box whether they are slcd or amoled. So, it's hit or miss.

AFAIK all PVT4 Desires are SLCD as the PVT4 variant came after the switch to SLCD

Actually, I am quite sure that pvt4's are both slcd and amoled. I bought a desire 2 months ago with a friend of mine, both are pvt4. Mine is slcd and his is amoled. Both just said TFT touchscreens on the box.

How have you found out which display the mobile phone has?
On my box stand AMOLED, but I got a new one without box, so the box infos are not really correct.
EDIT: I have a PVT3 SHIP S-ON Desire

Once you have both phones side by side you can see the difference immediately. Especially on the whites. Amoled has a blueish tint, and slcd has yellowish. Slcd is much sharper though.
Unfortunately though, you cannot tell one screen from the other unless you have both of them in front of you.

Ok the firendly HTC Support Hotline has told me the manufactury date 26.03.2010 with AMOLED Displays.
So with an AMOLED Display I can flash an older TMO Rom for rebranding?

You can tell by looking at the blacks. The AMOLED will have a MUCH darker black..will blend right to the edge. Or you can put a single drop of water on the screen where there is a dark colour next to a lighter area. If it's AMOLED, you should see small pink sub-pixel "teeth". You have to look closely though.

Thx, when I put a drop of water on the screen, I see this pink sub-pixels at the edge of the drop.
So I think I must have an AMOLED Screen, so with this I have no problem with flashing old T-Mobile Roms?

Big X Wallpaper

Might someone either share the wallpaper or help me find it. The one I am speaking of may or may not be exactly like the one that began when the original Nexus One was out, but it is very similar in the very least
It appears in ads, at the top of Android Central Forum when they advertise the GN.
It has a Black Background with the colored X. I am hoping to find not the original one, but with the higher res of the GN
I found one on DeviantArt but it appears to be a charcoal background
Thanks again

I'll have about 15 different options in my next wallpaper pack in my thread tomorrow. Just check back tomorrow evening and there should be plenty for you to choose from. If you don't see one you like, I can make some new ones.

That is the one I found on DeviantArt and to me, maybe I am seeing it wrong, the background looks grey, dull or washed out, not a vibrant or black black.
I will keep hoping. And again, I thank you for helping so far

Yeah it does looked washed out, how about this one?

Here you go, already cropped in 1440x128

You are way too kind working on this for me this time of night but again, thanks
Yes looks much better. I am only downloading it in a 640 x 400 resolution. Is it available in the screen res of 1280 x 720 or better yet the full wallpaper screen from one homepage to the last, 1440 x 1280 ( I think I have those numbers right. You would know better)

You beat me to it. Thank you very much PERFECT

[DUMP] G1 Blaze (G2 prototype)

As mentioned on IRC a long time ago, here is the dump of the G2 prototype, called 'G1 Blaze'
I'm not sure how useful this is now, but I thought I'd put it up for everyone's curiosity. Please feel free to mirror elsewhere.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1pGU044HRD_RTlOR1lialN0b0k

Very interesting. Was planning on sleeping. That is now postponed.
Thanks for this!

Why on earth didn't they keep the black it looks so much better then this sort of grey

mmcblk0, file size: 4GB.
"The missing 2GB", episode 2?
Guessing that eMMC was partitioned in MLC mode on this one.
So, the differences are: black housing, secondary mic, AMOLED screen, 4GB of internal memory. Anything else?
And that would be an even more awesome device if HTC released it without these changes.

is here wrong place to post it?

It's not a ROM. Read the thread title.
It's a DUMP from the G2 PROTOTYPE.
It contains all partitions' dump, including HBoot (v.0.55.2000 ENG, never seen before), Radio, System and all the other things.
And BTW I downloaded it and everything's fine for me.
Copied this file to my Dropbox as a mirror.
@OP: Can you provide some more photos of the device (or maybe side-by-side ones that you've talked about on IRC)? I'm VERY interested in PCB photos, but if you don't want to disassemble the phone, it's up to you

+1 I think they went the wrong direction changing the screen and making it gray instead of black. Idk why they didn't leave it black. It looks f***in sweet black... lol

How did you manage this compression? 7.4 GB inside of a 670 MB file?

In all curiousity, did the prototype have the Z-hinge?

Pretty cool the prototype. Dunno about you guys but I kinda wished our DZs came with an AMOLED screen like that. Wonder what we can do with those files..

I actually got to speak with the Product Manager for the G2 and she said their market survey indicated the gray/silver color was preferred.

More photos attached. I don't care about serial numbers. The G2 was sent to China and the G1Blaze is only a test device now.

Much of the dump is wasted space, and the 2 nandroids are pretty much copies of the dump, so compress to insignificant space.

The physical design of the G1blaze is pretty much identical to the G2, with the differences called out above.

The photos should show the pentile OLED, of which I am not a fan. I already tried to replace the OLED with a G2 LCD and found out the ribbon connectors are not compatible.

You are a quote master. Thanks for all of this, really cool! This makes me wish HTC would be making another QWERTY slider like our beloved G2 though

Dam I never knew this existed amoled display would've been sick on this phone with that black trim

This makes sooo sad!!
If I knew about this waiting for my G2 I prolly would have been real upset knowing there was always going to be a better version of the phone I loved!!
Tmobile G2 = The overly used silver benz everyone drives!
G1 Blaze = Would have delivered exactly what everyone was expecting! =/
....So much prettier, ....8mb camera w/ stock 2.2?
OP Why did take away so many capabilities? ....and know where I can Buy one? Seriously! ^_^

I don't see what makes you sad here...
1) this prototype has amoled POS display. SLCD > amoled.
2) Slow performing 4GB internal storage vs FAST performing 2GB. I'll take the faster anyday, since the device supports external add-on.
3) If by "8mb" you mean "8 MP", I don't see anything indicating such.
4) Ugly painted black plain prototype. Easy to scratch off paint and would quickly look like junk. They paint prototypes like that to make them nondescript.
What we have is basically *superior* to this prototype. The next step up is the HTC DOUBLESHOT.

[Q] Should i trade my Nokia N9 for a one x with a messed up LCD?

I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?
thanks
edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though

A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.

thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..
edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..

Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.

Don't do it, go for a proper second hand device a fully working one, better to have the original screen as it's a lovely screen.

thank you, ill take your advice. it seems not many people are interested in the n9 as much as I thought they would.

It always feels good to have a new device which is fresh and you are much sure that it doesn't have a defect or something, if you're are looking for some advice, well for me, i will personally tell you that go and just buy a new one ( Fresh like Dougie )

hahah, I didn't mean "here" as in the XDA community. im talking about my state. or the majority of people in general I guess
my Nokia n9 is smoother than my Amaze I had before it. I just cant do without the apps D:

[FIX] Fix the yellowish screen tint!

Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 6-8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

Hmm, these problems happened to some people i know who bought the HOX at release, or close to release. The manufaturers sent them a letter with apology and that they have the right to claim a new device if they return them.
Some had extreme color defects, others had very sesitive screens(tapping on the side would make the screen look like when tapping on a LCD TV, color disorder).
What you have is not the default yellow tint i meant, our screens if you compare to others is a bit more yellow by default, you have some kind of disorder, either you should return it for service or you should try this app: LINK

Tested the app you posted.. Great idea indeed.. But I found the little yellow tint that I have on the screen more comfortable with warm and more saturated colors than any other device.

Unfortunately, I had yellow tint issue too. Since it was a hardware problem, I waited 3 weeks for the technical service to change the entire screen.
Now I'm a happy HOX user with no screen issues

I'd always been a bit annoyed by my yellow hue - and this app works to removed it 100%
Would be nice to have a way of making this change without needing to use a separate app.

exactly.. and app causes lag too.. when enabled. i m on jellybean.

Friend, you have the right to claim a full refund or replacement in two years since you bought the phone, and you have ALL RIGHTS to get it fixed
What´s best to do:
Take your reciept and phone to your seller and describe the problems you've got, they will by force take it back and fix the problem totally for free!
If they refuse to fix the problem, then you should turn to the consumer advisors in your country as the right is by your side, but Im sure you wont have to
