Update help - patched recovery imag

[Guest Minus616]

Right I have just applied to the december update (Worked fine, reverted to T-mobile style).

Now I am trying to install patched recovery image as seen here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...on-your-device/

But anytime I put my phone into boot mode (Pressing Vol down and End call while starting the phone) it comes up with a Blue screen with:

USB Fastboo: Vo.5

Machine ID: 100700 v0

Build Date: Nov 26 2009, 11:05:05

Serial number: UNKNOWN

And then nothing. I open up "install-recovery-windows" but it simply says waiting for the device......so yeah, help? :)

If you're using Windows 7 look here.

Have you installed the android sdk and is it working properly?

I am on XP.

I have just downloaded the Android SDK, but I get this error with it:

Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.

So I can't download anything with it.

However, I am completely new to stuff like this, I was expecting the update to be easy :)

[Guest BigBearMDC]

You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.

Just do this and it will install :)

A month ago i was completely new to this stuff too - you will learn it :)

[Guest Minus616]

Right done, got all the downloads, so now what? :)

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Try to connect your phone and look if adb recognizes it.

[Guest starkos]

Can't remember if it's necessary, but just incase make sure you've got Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging ticked :)

[Guest Minus616]

Pah nope, I get the windows wizard asking me to find the drivers for "T-Mobile Pulse 3G Phone" but can;t find them (tried looking on the cd and those I have dled from a separate site.

[Guest BigBearMDC]

The drivers you are looking for are in the PC Suite folder on your Hard Disk.

Of course you'll have to install the PC Suite first :)

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Wait, here are the drivers for WinXP

driver.rar

[Guest Minus616]

Right, that solves the driver problem, it no longer asks me for drivers!

But still nowt in SDK if i'm reading it right, where is it meant to show up?

[Guest BigBearMDC]

The device does not show up on the SDK.

Only those devices show up in the SDK that you created (virtually).

So ADB should work now.

[Guest Minus616]

Right well, after following the stuff you have told me to do I'm guessing I can install the recovery rom now following this:

- Download the recovery zip file and extract to a directory

- Put your device in bootloader mode - turn if off, then tap the powerbutton while holding the 'Volume Down' and 'End (Red)' keys

- WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'

However, again the program can't find the device, unless I'm being dim and missing something...

I also tried to install Superboot, but again :

I put the phone into bootloader mode

Access the file, and it says "Waiting for device" and nothing else........

[Guest Minus616]

Right I have been playing about with ADB using the command propmt, and it does see the device when its on, it comes up with

List of devises

?

Rather than when it's off/in boot mode

List of the devises

......so, I take it thats a bad thing right?

EDIT - Got it working, apparantly the driver wasn't installed right :)

So, now what the heck do I do? :)

[Guest BigBearMDC]

If your device gets recongnized, then youre ready to install to cutom recovery image.

Just hit install-recovery-windows and it should work :)

[Guest Minus616]

Woo, got it working

Thanks :)

Only one small problem tho, when I slide the home screens left and hit the last one, If i try to slide again it says android process has stopped and needs to force close.

How do you get rid of this problem? it doesn't happen on Panda Home!

Oh and my network provider is "telefonica o2 uk Limited" :)

Maybe do a wipe.

But then you'll lose all data!

[Guest Minus616]

Hm a wipe? As in factory reset or do you mean something else?

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Yes, it's like a factory reset.

Greetings,

BigBearMDC

[Guest Minus616]

Right, the factory reset solved the crashing problem :)

The last thing is the network still shows as "Telefonica O2 UK Limited"

I was just wondering why, and if there was a way to change it back?

Try setting language to English and rebooting the phone. It fixed my boyfriend's foreign menu problems! :)
