help pls... :)

My Desire is rooted and running a custom ROM however ever since I've flashed my the first custom ROM my phone keeps warming when I use it for a while and Randomly reboots... I'm at my end as no ROM can escape this issue and I cant solve it!!!!!!!!
Ok enough venting.. Im taking it in for repairs....I'll follow the 'how to unroot' guide, can someone please advise on a stock ROM to use for the Vodacom network in South Africa so I can adjust the phone accordingly...
Thanks!!

Repair for a software problem? Do you wipe all data and all caches when installing a new rom?

Yes I do... and I've tried a few ROMs
I googled the rebooting problem and came up that 1000's of folks have this problem... could be the motherboard or something...?

My Desire usually heats up a bit when I use it for more than 10-15 minutes without any break (battery widgtes show a temeparture of up to 42°C), especially when browsing while on 3G. This has never caused me any kind of problem, like it hasn't for lots of others as well, so there may be nothing wrong with your device.
As for the reboot issue, have you tried flashing another kernel? You could try one of coutts kernels or a vorkKernel, both worked really fine for me and have very good ratings around here

Tried a couple kernels with ... no difference...

A boot up problem can be anything, just about anything but is usually related to software. Send it in for repair but install an RUU on it to make it more HTC ish

I agree. Just look to see if the problems you are having disappear after you install the RUU, so maybe it will have been an issue with your current software configuration and you don't have to send the phone for repairs

[Q] DHD Camera Auto-Focus Problem

The problem I'm having is now that I have Leedroid 3.3.3 installed on my Desire HD my phones camera will no longer auto-focus.
Before you ask have you made sure the auot-focus is selected in the phones camera menu yes I have.
The things I have done to rectify this are:
I've made sure I have the right Radio & Kernal for the Rom I'm Using
I've downgraded my Leedroid Rom to previous versions but nothing works
I've asked for help and left bug reports on leedroids mini site and no help
I've tried to install the Madaco 17/Nov 1.32.405.6 r1 - HTC Desire HD Stock ROM with Online Kitchen but I can't boot past the HTC screen even performing a factory reset, battery stat rest, and a dalvik wipe still no luck.
I'm not sure if Leedroids new Roms uses a different EXT format like "EXT4" where stock Roms use "EXT2" and this is why I cant get MOdacos stock rom to boot and therefore I need to wipe a EXT2 to my phone? I wouldn't know how to do that anyway.
I've done google and xda searches for how to get the auto focus to work again and all I come up with is I should go back to stock and see if this helps. Unfortunately I can't get a stock Rom to boot properly so I'm left with asking for help here.
If I'm in the wrong forum or posted in the wrong place I do apologize I believed since I'm on a Desire HD this is the most appropriate place.

Hi!
Did you solve it?
I have the same problem, the camera don't make the focus, don't know why.
thanks!!

Any solution in sight?
I have similar problem on my classic Desire (Bravo).
Autofocus fails on far away objects, everything closer than ~1m is ok, anything else I recognize some focus action in the live image but it stops on the blurry side
Using InsertCoin 1.1.1 with the latest Radio.
Seitchin ROM to an older LeeDroid didn't help)

No luck yet I'm afraid I'm in the process of backing up my phone and trying different roms to see if that helps.
I'll post here if I come up with a solution.

Solution
So I called HTC here in the UK and was told the phone needs to go back which I sent to them but before you do there are two important things to remember.
1) s-off needs to be turned to s-on
2) you need to send the phone back with the latest os version
I got my phone back and the lovely guys at the service centre even replaced the entire shell, battery cover and sim cover for free how nice.
I'm going to guess it was a hardware issue rather than a software issue because the phones software came back exactly as I sent it with t-mobiles splash screen with no sound because the sound files were never on my phone to start with.
I tried everything before sending it back updating, different roms going back to stock rom etc etc but the only thing that worked in the end was HTC fixing it.
Luckily the phone was still under warranty and the shipping and repair was free phew!
Good Luck

How to hack / modify Desire Kernels???

Hi all!
I have spent over half an hour searching but to no avail so thought I'd ask here, how are the kernels hacked or modified?
When it comes to the real tech stuff I'm a bit lost, and to be honest before I stumbled across this site I knew nothing about making custom ROMS, but thanks to all of you out there, you have taught me loads without me asking much, so its here I need to ask!
Thanks in advance for your time & replies,
Arty.

just search the web for "linux kernel" the android kernel is a linux one.
when you know a bit about linux kernel you can add kernel mods to it, as in android.
you just need to download the source of the kernel modify it and compile it than.
hope this helped a bit
ps.: and if you dont have the source you have to be a tech/kernel genius like -snq

Thanks for your reply there crendot!
I was afraid I'd have to know about Linux stuff, which to be quite honest I dont!
I have messed about with a Ubuntu Virtual Machine in the past (when I first read how to root the Desire) but I find it too difficult to understand, I'm much more at home with the old DOS commands personally!
Only reason I ask is that my fone is playing up and has overheating / reboot loop issues with anything greater than Android 2.2 (since it came back from repair when I dropped it & cracked the screen completely) and so far I am stuck with my own slightly customed Rooted 2.2 with standard features (no 4-in-1 menu, no wake & unlock on trackpad and the DSP manager wont work) also, I have not yet tested it, but I know only a few kernels will let me send & recieve MMS, the previous build was a lightly customed LeeDrOiD_V3.0.8.2_GB_A2SD ROM, but alas kept bootlooping after it became warm and I found I couldnt do much with it :-(
I am hoping to get a shiney new Sensation soon, but until then I wanted to know how to modify the kernel to add / remove stuff!
Is there an easy way to take a kernel file & be able to 'read' it so I could copy the stuff I need into the stock kernel at all, or is that my wishfull thinking again?
Thanks again & sorry about the long reply!
Arty.

to understand what a kernel for the desire is, u can download the stock one on the htcdev.com site http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
for example u can download the latest for our desire: "HTC Bravo – GB MR – 2.6.35 kernel source code"
that is the source code..u will see there are thousands of .c files...is not easy at all modify the kernel..it requires strong skills on linux and C language
about the send sms and mms, that is related to the rom and ur apn settings i think..not to the kernel..the kernel handle very low level actions..
maybe u would like to make custom roms..this is a bit much easy if u just cook it for example with the android kitchen (search for it)..the rom contain the kernel and the operating system and some apps

so lets check the facts!
did the phone overheat when it came back from repair (with stock rom)?
or have you flashed the new rom instant?
i would say you save all your stuff and do a nandroid backup.
than you follow this instructions to flash the rooted stock 2.2 rom and the radio
if the problem is still there i would say its a hardware problem, if not you can try other roms as long as no problems occure
dont play around with kernels, you dont have to, the stable kernels are in the roms
if they arent stable for you its not the kernels fault
i guess something messed up while you flashed something...
ps.: if you have absolutly no linux skills and so on, i would say you read into that before playing around with your mobile ^^

andQlimax:
Thanks for your reply also!
I know the APN settings for the mobile data & the MMS as I have written them down, the strange thing is I rooted my fiancee's Desire with the same ROM I was using at the time & she couldnt send or recieve MMS either (I'm O2 and she on Orange, both contract) and I have only found a few custom ROMs that allow the sending & recieving of MMS messages.
Also, I can make custom ROM's, I use Android Kitchen for most of the stuff (such as de-odexing, adding root, bash, busy box etc) but I find mostly when I bake the ROM using the kitchen I have errors on install, so I just prefer to use the kitchen for adding the needed stuff, then I'll just use windows to add / remove apps, boot animations & the audio files I want and just zip it myself & flash which has a higher success rate if I'm honest!

Q: did the phone overheat when it came back from repair (with stock rom)?
A: No, I didnt have stock ROM on, I still had either LeeDroid HD or a HD InsertCoin ROM, which when I got the phone back I did a nandroid restore (I make them quite regular & copy them to my PC for extra piece of mind!)
Q: or have you flashed the new rom instant?
A: I also have installed an untouched ROM(untouched by me) a day or so after as the nandroid backup wasnt the version I wanted, I was due to be on holiday to Blackpool for a week, so I flashed the LeeDrOiD_V3.0.8.2_GB_A2SD ROM on both my desire & my fiancee's desire, hers was stable, mine I couldnt have the screen on for long before it got too hot (managed about 5 picture captures before I had to turn screen off for a while or it got too hot) then thing is, my fiancees gets got too, mine is the metal holders for the memory & sim cards, i either have to place something cold on them like a glass or even hold a fan to it for a few minutes until it cools down again!
Q:i would say you save all your stuff and do a nandroid backup.
than you follow this instructions to flash the rooted stock 2.2 rom and the radio
A:My current ROM is the standard one after downgrading HBOOT & using Unrevoked, but I used the phone's update feature to update everything to 2.2, then I rooted it and all works fine, BUT, if I add any modifications, like circle battery it is too much for the phone & gets too hot & power cycles, it gets to the boot anim then automatically reboots again, it can do this for about half hour before it works again, but I mostly just pull the battery & put something cold on the affected area! Yesterday I put my fone in the freezer for 10 mins, but using even the most basic customisation was getting hot again so I reverted back.
Q:if the problem is still there i would say its a hardware problem, if not you can try other roms as long as no problems occure
I have tried a number of other ROM's, but I think I will just stick with what I know works for now!
Q:dont play around with kernels, you dont have to, the stable kernels are in the roms if they arent stable for you its not the kernels fault
A: thanks for that, think I'll leave them alone for now lol!
Q: i guess something messed up while you flashed something...
A: Nothing went wrong with the flashing, as Ive done it so much in the past year or so I know what its sucessfull or not!
Q: ps.: if you have absolutly no linux skills and so on, i would say you read into that before playing around with your mobile ^^
A:Thanks!
I really dont know what the cowboys done with my fone, but they have totally screwed it up, the microphone dont work and I have to almost eat the damn thing n shout, even then sometimes nobody can hear me! The WiFi signal is horrendous since it came back, can only get a full signal if I sit on top of the router, so using the WiFI out of the room is now out of the question! I also noticed they had cut off or pulled off something that I am convinced is the WiFi aerial, it sits just under the flash, a black tab it looks like, they insist they didnt do it, I KNOW otherwise!
When I first saw the phone, the back cover wouldnt fit on & it looked like they hadnt installed everything right, so they had it back as also the in-call speaker didnt work either, there are still outstanding problems, but as I have left it so long (main shop in Glasgow, me in Paisley with no way of getting there myself) I doubt they will do anything about it, i am SOO angry there isnt a swear word I dont shout every time the bloody fone hets hot & power cycles!
Again thanks for all your replies & sorry for the essay lol!
Arty.

hi, ok it really sounds like they have messed up your little desire!
first of all i want to apologize i thought you dont have a clue about anything ^^
so i would suggest you try to flash a new radio maybe the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 helps, if you have it on your mobile reflash it just to be sure(if you have a different hboot, you have to do it with fastboot)
if this didnt help, i would say you try to flash the RUU
and when that fails i would start yelling at the customer support
wish you the best
ps.: i just started thinking if it is maybe the battery, change it with a/the other one

[Q] Could someone help? Rom Manager issue and installing roms on this phone.

I have rooted multiple g1s and I have at least installed different roms on the G2 slide, believe I rooted it too but I may have bought it rooted.
When I did root, I know sometimes you have to change the radio, possibly the kernel, and many other things, but I haven't done anything in a long time. This phone thankfully came rooted with FreedomPop through an ebay purchase.
I am seeing things about not running JB modem for Cyganomod Rom 11. I need a refresher and to get up to date with how things work.
Possibly Important: I currently have 2 issues with my phone though, one is that I cannot charge my phone's battery using the port of the phone, and I cannot have my sd card in, otherwise my phone turns off all the time.
Also, I am unable to make Rom Manager do a backup of my current Rom, but somehow I apparently somehow managed to get the recovery to be on my phone... kept giving me errors or just loads forever when trying to flash it.
What all do I need to do to install a CMD11 rom?
Basebane version: S710. 10 S.FL24
Kernel version 3.0.15-1173404
Let me know what else is needed to know for you to better assist me. Please give any advice, tips, warnings, etc. you have.
Thank you in advance.

Hi there, I saw your comment on the other thread but decided to reply here. If you have reflashed the stock rom and its crashing at the lock screen you only have two choices really. 1: Try a custom rom like cyanogenmod 7 to see if the lighter rom runs on your old hardware. 2: Give up on the phone.
I accept that 2 may not be what you want to hear but this device is very old now (in phone years) and a lot of the services that used to support it well, like the android market (Google play) do not really support this device. If you only really want to use the phone for phone calls a cheap "dumb" phone will perform much better than this device in that regard.
If you do want to try though, cm7 is your best bet as it gave the best "performance"on this device back in its hayday.
Best of luck.
