Develop Bugs

ok i need help.

ok so i still havent got an answer from awhile back. i cant get this phone to do anything. ive hardspl unlocked it and then i go to flash ANY rom and try to open the custom ruu file and NOTHING HAPPENS! ive copied the rom to my fat32 formated sd card and entered the boot loader screen and still nothing. WTF. there has to be SOMEONE who has flashed these phones using vista. i have windows mobile device center 6.1 and virus protection turned off. still nothing. its like the custom ruu file is empty. ive tried compatibly mode to every other windows option it gives me still same result. ive tried to run as admin. still noting. I CAN HARDSPL UNLOCK ALL DAY!!

This should be in the ROMs section

yes i did.

obvious question but needs asking - have you unzipped the downloaded ROM file to a folder then run the custom ruu?
I use Vista at home all the time without any problems flashing.
the storage card method will nearly always work (on a non-bricked device) when you go into bootloader mode with a valid .nbh file in the root of the sd card.

k well i got it to flash. but on my parents computer. so there is something screwy with my laptop at home. my parents use vista 64bit. i did exactly what i did on my laptop and instantly i was able to flash it. thanks for the responses. if i figure out what the hell is going on with the vista on my laptop and post up for future reference.

Software CD?

DId the Desire come with a CD, in the excitement i may have over looked and misplaced it, if s can i download the software?

Nope it didn't come with a CD, it's on the MicroSD card Plug the Desire into your computer in Hard Disk mode and you can install it. I'm sure it should be available online though

hmmm i remember the option of things to choose comming up on pc before, dosnt come up anymore :S, jsut charges and i cant do anything else

If you swipe down the status bar and press charging you should be able to change it?

hmmm doesnt say charging on the notifications bar, :S , its definatly charging, this is strange, i was def getting it before lol

That's quite odd! I'm not sure what to suggest then.. but if you do manage to change it you'll be sorted

wen i go to the bottom right the drive comes up, and in my computer, but i cant access it

Do not format the SD Card, it will wipe the HTC Sync executable installation file.
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Applications > Development.
2. Make sure the USB debugging check box is selected.

You can always download HTC Sync from http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=312&act=sd&cat=3

ok iv installed htc sync from that link, and i done the usb debug option, it now connects, installs a load of stuff, but i cnt access the drive through My Comp and on HTC sync it says "disconnected"

Try turning off the phone and turn it back on again while connected to the PC via the USB cable, and then select the Disk Drive option.
What version of Windows are you running? Is it 32/64 bit?

thanks a bunch guys, the restart got it working,
one last thing, how do i go about putting music and video onto the device, at the moment theres 3 folders, footprints, backup and lost dir, also does this HTC sync auto transfer photos and videos you take to the pc like the nokia programs did?

No problem Bud, glad that worked.
If I remember correctly, just create a Music folder in the root of your SD card and create folders within that folder.
e.g. Storage Card\Music\Chris Brown\[the mp3 file]
To store video files, create a new folder called DCIM, and then create another folder within that called 100MEDIA, and place picture files and video files within that.
The structure will be Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA\[picture file] for pictures, and Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA\[video file] for videos.

thanks again boss, , move from symbian to android is like from the stone age to modern day

Can't format SD card !!!

Hello Guys, I have a really big problem which I can't solve it.
Recently I bought a 2GB Micro SD card from someone and I attempt to format it but i'm receiving a message: "Windows was unable to complete the format".
Tryed to delete them but an error is occurring.
I did an AVG Antivirus, SuperAntiSpyware, Trojan Remover and STOPzilla! scan but i find three viruses:
-Worm/AutoRun.MB
-Worm/Brontok.EZ
-Klif Trojan
but its pointless since after I remove them, they reapear.
I've attempted to delete them with Unlocker but it requires to restart and after that they reapear again.
I've even Booted a Partition Manager an wipe/delete the partition on the card using all the 35 steps format it and it took me 4 hrs. but no use. They are still there.
And even formating my card on my other friend's phones/digital cameras and is no use. The files are still there.
The card contains 220MB of corrupted, cross-linked and virused files. I tried to scandisk it but after the scan and repair, the same exact files remained there. Its like the card has a secret reservoir which replaces back all the "bad" files.
Table of files:
Folders: GFS_TMP, IMF090~1, IMF090~2, IMF090~2, IMF090~3, WA1D5E~3, WA1D5E~2(these folders contain files with weird names like random characters and various sizes like 3,5GB), WapTemp, sryk, Videos, Imsifolder, nane, Images.
The next files are hidden and can be found in the parent folder(SD card). Files marked with invisible cannot be displayed when selecting to show hidden folders but the can be detected by antiviruses and winrar.
Files: EXPLORER.EXE, gptvqp.exe, m0vnonh.bat(invisible), jmyua.exe(invisible), pwia.exe(invisible), SPOOLSV.EXE, tfs4_160.ess, THUMBS.DB and some music files.
Please provide some links with good solutions and thank you.
P.S. Sorry if my English is bad. I'm a Romanian.

Have you tried booting from a Live CD and formatting and partitioning that way?

Its simple theory!
Your computer has virus. They aren't allowing to format your SD Card since they are running. Even if you format, they will again copy to SD Card. Virus intensity is to spread were ever possible.
First clean up your PC and then attempt to format SD Card. There are 99% possibility for virus to spread, even though you clean your pc and anti virus software are useless.
If viruses on your pc has covered totally all folders and drives, linux is the only way to clear them. If you fresh install Windows and then enter into some folders on other drives or SD Card and if it does contain virus, It gets active again and within sec its spread out (First to startup).
1. Fresh install windows and when it finishes, install good anti virus and start to scan all the other drives. DON'T ATTEMPT TO ENTER ANY OTHER DRIVES OR SD CARD. Good to disable autorun of drives.
2. Use live linux OS and enter to each and every folders and remove the unknown files which you guess as virus.
3. Same as above but in windows using dos (Not explorer).
Thats my experience.
Softwares are good unless the virus aren't on your PC. They stop viruses to enter your pc but cannot if its already exists in your pc. Cancer is the another name of virus.
Thanks...
Best Regards

i don't think is a virus sneaking in my pc since i tried formating it on other mobile phones and failed and if a virus was doing that, msconfig would surely notify me.

Oh, As you said on first post. I though you are able to format.
If it doesn't format on mobile phone also, then probably the card is damaged. Either due to virus has made your card as readonly.

If you can successfully format the cab and viruses reappear, then its coming from pc itself.
Try formatting on safe mode or live linux or mac.

believe me, i've tryed, but everything i did was like nothing happened(delete partition, format, wipe...) and someone in 'tech support guy' forum said it might be a virus hidding in the nand sector.
P.S. Sorry for the spam.

[Q] Forcing Apps to install to the SD Card

Ok, just got this phone, and i'm feeling very pleased with everything but this..
How is it possible to have 32GB sd space on this thing and and not to be able install apps on it?
I managed to save apps on the card and load it to marketplace, but when i install it installs on the phone root.
I e-mailed HTC and they said that only a 3rd party app can fix this.
Can anyone help?

I think there is no solution for this. I have the same problem, I want to install navigon europe, but it will not fit into the 8S...
(The maps are about 2.4 GB).

your are right there is no solution curently. Windows phone 8 does not allow instaling apps on SD card, but maybe over time the developers will make custom ROM which will allow that like on HTC HD2

I am hoping for at least a solution from navigon, to install the app normaly and put the maps on the SD card.
Lets hope they will fix this.

Let`s just hope developers will do something about this. In a month or two, there will be many 8S all over the world and many users will report this problem. Or maybe Microsoft will come with some updates that will allow us to install apps on the SD card.
5 stars for the first developer to do this!

The third request is actually already fulfilled. So don't waste your votes on it.
You can close the apps by double pressing the back button.

I have found a sort of solution for this is that you download the apps manually from the pc and then transfer to you sd card using your pc to drag and drop the apps to the root of the sd card
You can now install what you want from the sd card not over wifi
This is a better method to manage the internal memory problem as this way does not clutter the phones memory cache with download clutter. I have over 730mb left with all my apps installed and afew games
Thanks

How do you make the phone see the "drag n drop" app you just put onto the SD card?
In addition to the very mi-nute 4GB storage not able to storage off-line maps, I've encountered another issue arising from the barely enough 4GB.
It's when I watch Youtube videos, halfway through, the "Make More Space" menu pops-out all of a sudden.
I am guessing it is because the videos are cached onto the 4GB storage, which I have only 200MB left after OS / apps installations!

I would try to move movies pictures music to ext sd card not phone memory as for downloading you use the pc to download all tour apps from the store then manually drag them onto your sd card root directory then restart you phone all your apps should show under sd storage in the os don't use your phone to download as this uses internal memory. You can get by until Microsoft decides to fix the problem with memory issues its just a bad design in their sdk build like android which had teething problems in the beginning which were fixed in
Later os updates
I would not use any satnav on this phone until they fix the memory issues maybe the developers need to look into this with microsoft we will have to wait to see

nope im checking about this every day and still nothin.....

These are 2 **** things that i found in WP8 when i used HTC 8S :
1. I can't download files freely from the IE10. I mean, oh c'mon....this is IE10, why it doesn't have download menu??
2. I can't move apps to sdcard. Okay for some phones with a huge storage, this is not a big deal. But for us with a 4GB storage and just got 1GB free? Then what's the usage of sdcard anyway??

You must have a file manager installed on your phone. Go to Play Store and install ES File Explorer. Start it, and in the upper part you will see sdcard, click it and select sdcard1 (this is your sdcard).
Go to the location in your sdcard1 where you put framaroot, click it and install it.
Yesterday i updated my C1905 to new firmware (15.1.C.2.8) with PC Companion, and rooted my phone with the tutorial you mentioned,
and everything has gone well.
