HTC Desire HD (Ace)

you dont need cwm3 to flash, just to create back ups, im on 2.5 as is flukester and flash cm7 fine.

just got ahold of android flasher, wondering if this is ok for flashing cwm as it says it flashes recovery and radio?

I think thats just because phunkycow released a rom especially for CWM 2.* (he has two versions)

For these nightlys you do need 3.*

I just updated my CWM by flashing the new 3.0.0.5 over the top, appears to work, though not used it in anger (though it did a successful backup without mount error.. wether you can restore who knows)

you got a good step by step for flashing cwm3?

managed to get the drivers etc install so just need to go about flashing, havnt used the sdk before so need some pointers.

not sure I can remember, roughly....

-downloaded android SDK and installed
-installed all SDK updates available (not sure which you need)
-download 3.0.0.5 and rename to recovery.img
-dump that file in SDK tools folder
-boot phone into bootloader and select usb (your phone should appear in device manager, drivers should be in android sdk folder if you need them)
-goto command prompt in windows and goto tools folder... this is what I did in there....

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (3974 KB)... OKAY [ 0.661s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.696s]
finished. total time: 1.357s

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>


Now that I'm on this version I'll goto nightly builds in a week or so once they've ironed out few bugs etc...

boot phone into bootloader, it should say highlighted in red 'fastboot usb', if flash program just says waiting click on fastboot usb and it switches to 'hboot usb plug'

I can't remember which one you need, but one of those two enables and it will flash


i'm a total android noob so it's hard to explain
 
ive started fresh on my server machine, fresh sdk install and fresh driver install, getting very close to putting my fist in my monitor, i now it should be working, some stupid oversight ill kick myself for later no doubt!

I think the fact it said 'waiting' says it was phone in wrong mode... not pc
 
tried fastboot and bootloader and it remains the same, im assuming in a driver issue, when i install the second driver it gives me the choice of three, adb interface drive bootloader environmant or something and another

people having similar probs in XDA thread... seems it should be

"Fastboot.

hboot then select fastboot option

with usb plugged in you should get "fastboot USB" or similar on your screen."
 
we have success, fresh install done the trick, from what i can gather it was down to the fastboot driver, when pdanet installed in on my min machine it just showed as a generic driver, on my server however it showed as a 'HTC' driver, its the only thing i can put it down to.

just the radio now, think ill wait till the nightly roms are going properly before i mess with that, cheers for the help, 'mental high five!'
 
nice one....yeah mine shows as HTC in device mangler also.

I'm gonna leave as is for now also as phunkys build is super stable / fast
 
are the nightlys considered superior to most roms? messing on with splash screens and boot animations atm to keep the fingers buisy.

1% / hr? So your phone lasts more than 4 days?

In theory yes, this is with leaving it on wifi just sitting there, syncing twitter every 5 mins, facebook every 30... everything pretty rapid, basically.

However I have no wifi at my office (am tempted to set it up, though, just for the phone...) and 3G raises the drain to ~3% per hour, bringing it right back down to just about 2 days worth if i don't fiddle with it too much.
 
Question :)

When android 2.2 came out, Google was saying that we can get maps to the phone and use it without data connection ( great abroad) ...
but how the hell can we do it ?????
any ideas ?
