Just wondering if anyone has anything (good/bad) to report about the OTA update. Figure this would be a good place to post those issues for the people who are still hesitant about updating. I have the 2.1 v3 non-root and have yet to update. Thanks.
Having issues with 2.1 I can't find ANY HTC widgets. Tried to reload the digital clock with the weather app at the bottom and realized the phone doesn't have any HTC widgets, only shows the android native widgets. Anybody else having this problem, got any advice how to solve this?
I just manually updated to 2.1 (Official) and now my weather app doesn't work. Widgets are ok, just opening the app causes a force close. Any way to fix this? Might call customer support tomorrow and tell them the OTA got to me and it won't work now.
From what I've seen around a reboot might fix that if you haven't tried that already

Haha thanks, but I've tried it several times. Also, the recovery doesn't work with the official update.zip. I'm assuming that it's because the versions are the same, but if it says RECOVERY then I'm wondering why it won't RECOVER like I'm trying to do now. Any other ways to reinstall the OTA?
I manually updated my wife's around 10 am today and about 3 hours ago, she started havin no sound issues. couldnt hear through the earpiece, phone vibrates instead of rings, speaker will not play volume. I have tried everything. Making sure all settings are in place like volume TTY. Reboot fixes it for about five minutes then right back to the same thing. Hard resetting now. If it still does it I'll probably take it in and demand a new one i guess...lol
EDIT: Should I have to reprogram on a hard reset after this update? Hmm somethings not right about that...
Ive had no problems with the OTA. I went from stock 1.5 to OTA 2.1
It seems that people with leaked 2.1 v3 won't get the ota. My friend has an Eris with 1.5 and just got
it but I didn't.

I don't think anyone who is running any leaked version is getting an update right now. There is an issue with the hboot versions it seems.
Don't worry, two things have been confirmed.
First the OTA will not work with the leaked ROMs installed.
Second, the OTA is exactly the same as the 2.1 leak v3.
This was confirmed on Android forum by someone that took the time to compare every single file and CRC the binaries. The only difference was that the leaked ROMs use a different bootloader to install as they did and the actual OS and apps are exactly the same so if you got leak v3 you got the OTA.
The OTA won't install because you are already running it.
if you have rooted 2.1 (test keys) and you downgrade to back to 1.5 any one if this will allow you to get the OTA update? i installed the rooted 2.1 (test keys) but never installed a custom ROM (the second half of the directions on XDA forum) and I still haven't received the update. but I was thinking of downgrading to 1.5 to see if i can get the update.
anyone having problems with live wallpapers on 2.1? or was this not included with the 2.1 for eris?

Unfortunately it wasn't included.
just found out about 2.1 this morning...
I'm a verizon rep for an authorized premium retailer, and one of my customers came up to me today with her eris complaining about all her contacts being gone and her album not being there... her exact words: "What happened??? I clicked the update thingy and now half my ****'s gone!" Personally I laughed slightly, then checked the software version, found it updated to 2.1 and figured the deal. Her sound is working fine, she now has a couple more widgets she wont know how to operate, and albums is now "photos", and contacts is now "People". also required a resync to get her contacts back, but now she's golden.

Quick question about TaskBar (process killer) widget. Anybody know how to program it to ignore certain processes? Like sense... I tried using it but it killed sense every time. Along with mail and the weather process, which I don't care so much about, waiting for sense to reboot every time is a serious pita though...
I previously had 1.5 stock eris. I downloaded the official OTA zip and manually installed it. I had a few issues at first.
1. I had Spare Parts installed and had set my End key to first goto home screen and then lock. 2.1 did not like that setting and so my end key wouldn't do anything except turn it on from sleep and end a call until I changed the setting to just lock the phone.
2. Couple apps wanted to be updated to a new version after installing 2.1 before they would work.
3. Here is my unresolved issue - All my apps that I had installed before 2.1 no longer have write access to my SD card.
For example Astro File Manager showed my permissions on /sdcard as dr-. Reloading the card, rebooting, etc did not fix the issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue.
Why did this happen in the first place and is there an easier fix than uninstalling/reinstalling all my apps?
I've had the same disappearing HTC widget issue as was mentioned earlier, but a reboot (with a battery pull) didnt fix the problem. Is a hard reset my only option?
my girlfriend installed the OTA and now only the stock ringtones work when receiving a call- she set up custom ringtones for a few contacts, but if they call, the default ringtone rings.
I was running the leaked 2.1 eris rom on a MyTouch 3g and had the same issue, so i'm guessing it's not an easy fix. anyone else seeing this?
2.1 OTA back to 1.5
Hi everyone, I had many problems with 2.1 I manually installed 2.1 OTA from 1.5. everything went smooth, once running first thing i notice I click on the HTC clock weather, and it force closes, ok great, found a trick to delete the cache for weather provider, boom works, then i find out I do infact have the 50% time without signal issue, well I figured it wasn't too big of a deal, but after basically cutting my time in half going from 2 days no charge, to barely making one day, and I've heard that it would just take time as it did when first getting the phone.. which makes sense as it was the case with 1.5, week later not much improvement, so..
I would just like to comment on my experience. It went so smooth, it was in-fact easier to set back to 1.5 than it was to initially, manual install the OTA 2.1... I downloaded the MR2 file, unzipped the file, went through the computer on screen step-by-step process, Took less than 10 minutes, and of coarse as soon as turning the phone back on with 1.5 I see the OTA msg. I'm, just praying it doesn't get too annoying..
Hi everyone, and hails to all devs. I'm a long time lurker, first post here. Should have posted in the development thread, but it won't let me because I never posted before :-( ... so hopefully roebeet looks at this section as well...
Also, some background about myself, I'm an android phone user, being using an rooted MB300 phone for a year now. But I am a new gtablet user, and jumped onto this bandwagon with the rest of the wooters. I've flashed the newest TnT lite 4.4 (3/30/2011) onto my gtablet, the installation is smooth, booted up without a problem, and just to be safe, I also did a data wipe (well, actually a factory reset since I didn't use CWM to flash the system). The system runs fine, everything works great, except two things.
1. It won't let me switch input method. I've downloaded and installed swiftkey and iflytek to the gtablet, and in settings, it won't let me check the enable checkbox, after pressing on the checkbox for about 100 times, it finally give me a FC...
2. The speaker constantly playing a low pitch drumming sound for no reason, the sound comes randomly, even during the system idle, with no apps running (i force stopped all running apps in application management). So I figure it is not a problem associated with a perticular app.
is anyone else experiencing the same problems, or is it just me? If it is just me, I'll probabiliy reflash the rom, and hopefully have better luck at it.
Thanks a lot.
To get the keyboard working you'll need to move the apk to data/app then reboot and switch keyboards like normal, I used root explorer. As for the sound issue, I'm not having anything like that on my end so not sure.
Yeah, the keyboard addon issue is one that stock has had since Day One, so TNT Lite is also affected. It's one of many reasons why VEGAn is such a popular ROM, as it doesn't have this problem. VEGAn also supports USB mice, as I recall, whereas TNT (Lite) does not. I keep hoping that the vendor will fix this problem, one of these days.
That sound might be a hardware problem, however. I would recommend getting back to a clean stock baseline like 3588, and test it that way for a day or so. TNT Lite 4.4.0 is using a UAT 3991 system image that should work fine, but perhaps there's something buggy in there. I haven't had the issue, at least not yet.
thanks a bunch for the replies, I've actually played with the stock rom for a day before flashing, it doesn't seem to have to sound problem, and I've flashed to calkulin's rom, it doesn't have to sound problem as well, maybe if i reflash tnt lite, the problem would go away. As for the input method, after encounter the same thing with calkulin's rom, I figured it would be a limitation with orginal tnt system... thanks a lot anyways, I'll try out the different roms on the board, have nothing better to do at friday night anyways...
That keyboard thing
I went nuts wondering why I couldn't change keyboards even when I had three different ones in the input method showing. Here is something someone else posted that seems to work everywhere. I just tested it on tnt lite 4.40 and it works there too. Go to some app that wants keyboard input. I used QuickOffice - QuickWord. Touch the area that will call up a keyboard for input but do a long press. A menu will pop up and one of the choices will be input method. When you choose it another menu will pop up with all the keyboards you have installed. Whichever one you select will become your new default keyboard. To change to another just repeat this procedure. Hope this helps.
enigma0456,
I have the same issue as the original poster and what you and many others describe does NOT work for new keyboards installed via standard methods. Before new keyboards can be exposed to that selection list they need to be enabled and the TNT settings UI doesn't allow for this. :-(
I put together a quick tutorial to push whatever keyboard apk you want to the system.

That's very cool, good to know.
Different issues...
I do not have any problems with the speakers.
Have not tried a different keyboard.
I am seeing problems coming out of sleep. I get FC on gapps and have noticed lag as well.
Problems with tnt lite 4.40
Hello everyone, i'm new to the rooting and flashing thing. I just bought the viewsonic g-tab and right off the bat noticed that I hate the orginal software. I rooted it with Z4 and flashed TNT lite 4.40. I am having f/c all the time and it freezes just about the same. I have tried to watch movies on it but am unable to hear sound.
Ist it the apps or possably the flash? Again I'm new to this stuff if anybody could help.
Also what is the difference when you root with Z4 than with anyother? Can I flash other roms like vegan if I have already flashed TNT?

Yep. Just make sure you wipe data and cash. Were you getting the process.acore fc? If so that is a known and easily fixable solution. Did you ever use cwm to fix permissions? That really hrlps with fcs
Im not sure what process.acore or cwm.....Im really green at this, first time doing it

You don't need cwm, at least not yet. Backup the data you care about, then do a data wipe via Settings -- Security -- Factory Restore (and let it reboot).

I am new to all this too..but i will take a shot....
Do you know what version you had before you went to TNT Lite?
You could try a factory reset (settings->security) to see if it fixes your problems.
Unless you were on the most recent update of the stock ROM version (build 4349) and you dont care about it in the near future, the usual way to flash a new ROM was using ClockworkMod (cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
However with the new update (4349) things are in a flux right now, cwm is not the best thing to use if you are on an older stock rom, and if you want to install 4349 at some point. Read through the stickies and familiarize yourself with everything that is going on.
youtube videos by ehunyadi are also a good source of information.

Hey so I flashed DAS BAMF GingerRemix 2.1 yesterday and everything is working fine, the only thing is there was a "Rosie Settings" application in my app drawer when I first flashed the 2.1 and I was able to change the right button to Dolphin Browser instead of the stock browser, but all of a sudden now it's just gone! It isn't in my app drawer, and when I click on the right button nothing happens. It was working fine for a while, I don't know what I did. I tried the one patch Rosie-original-button-replacement but that doesn't do anything. If I go into Astro File Manager and go to system and app I can scroll down and see Rosie Settings but when I click it it says Activity Not Found - com.logicvoid.rosieutility Do I have to change some setting? Did I do something wrong? The part I can't understand is it was working at first and now for some reason it isn't at all. I did a forum search and couldn't find any answers. Please give me some things to try if you know anything. Hopefully I am just being dumb and doing something wrong, because right now I just have a button that doesn't do anything, when it should be opening the internet.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same thing happen to my phone. I didnt try to setup the widget through htc.... i just thought it would be easier to reflash...(which fixed everything).... wish i could give you a reason why you lost rosie....i had a lot of fc's too.... i think it was all tied into restoring everything i had through titanium . i decided to only restore things on an "as needed" basis and haven't had a problem since.
I had that issue with 2.1 standard, but everything was fine with the remix version of GB. I would have stuck with the standard if it wasn't for that. I love the remix, but I hate the notification bar being in black font. hope they fix that soon.
I re-flashed it and everything worked perfectly. But THEN I tried changing the font in das bamf toolkit in the extra section and I must have done something wrong. It said it was going to download, install and re-boot my phone as soon as I clicked the font that I wanted. So I chose the font that I wanted and it turned my phone off, and my phone started re-booting and it never got past the first screen where it says HTC and the background is white. It stayed like that for over an hour so I pulled the battery and re-tried and the same thing happened, it just never got past the HTC part. So I pulled the battery and launched into bootloader so that I could go into recovery mode and hopefully re-flash and make everything all better. But NO! I forgot that I accidentally still have the PG05IMG.zip file on my sd card from when I flashed the GB radio, so it instantly wants to do an update and my only two options are to do the update and re-boot (which did nothing) or to just re-boot the phone. So I brought the phone to verizon and they took one look at it and saw that it wouldn't turn on and gave me a new phone. I just really hope that they dont look into it and see that I rooted it and void my waranty and make me have to pay for the full price of the phone. ANyways looking back now I realize that I probably could have gotten a micro sd card reader, put it in my computer, deleted the PG05IMG.ZIP file, and gotten into bootloader and into recovery and re-flashed the rom. But whatever, it is what it is.

Greetings,
I'm hoping I can get some assistance with the " SonySan RLS 2.0 Sprint/VM [CM9][1/13/13] " ROM.
Here's my breakdown first:
EVO3D Sprint
S-Off, 1.50 Dev Unlocked
I've run other ROMs in the past, some have worked better than others.
Recently, I had been running SonySan RLS1 and it was not bad but had a few quirks I was hoping to alleviate with the 2.0 release.
Following the basic routine: Backup, Wipe All but SD, install from recovery. Let finish, reboot, configure.
Sadly, my experience thus far with 2.0 has been mostly terrible.
Some issues:
1.) The OTA Updated program doesn't work. It didn't work for me with RLS 1 either. It reports "Error Fetching update info: Invalid ROM ((SonySan)) & device (shooter) combo!
2.)The Xperia Home/ Launcher crashes very regularly, and EVERY time I attempt to swipe to the right screen from my home screen. I'm not sure if there's some widget or something there causing the issue as I've never actually been able to see it.
3.) The built-in Wifi Hotspot doesn't seem to work. At all. For me, it just hangs at "Turning Wi-Fi On..."
4.) I still have the Google market rather than the play store. I grabbed the Playinstaller for the ROM, flashed it (via 4EXT Touch recovery) and still had no change. The Market crashes 98% of the time before I can do anything with it.
I've also flashed the latest appropriate gApps too.
Often, Market and the Xperia launcher crash immediately following a reboot.
I've tried re-flashing just the kernel, and I've since also gone ahead and reflashed the entire ROM (without a full-wipe).
Nothing seems to have helped. I've reverted back to 1.0 for now so at least I'm mostly stable.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply.
2. Do you have a link for an updated version of the Launcher/Home?
3. So the hotspot is known to not be working and there's a separate app/download that needs to be downloaded to get it functional?
4. I've never had to remove the old market manually before, do you have a quick HowTo?
Man, would be nice if these things were listed as "not working / need fix" in the original description.
Thanks, and I"ll consider re-flashing to this ROM again perhaps when a new version is released.
So release 3 was made available a couple days ago and I decided to give it a try.
The results were much better than what I had with release 2 but still some things seems lacking/not of my preference:
1) The market issues persists. I've ran the "playstoreFix" a couple times now and nothing seems to change. Maybe there's more to it than just flashing it? The directions are ...absent. As it is, it's still showing market and crashes regularly.
2) Unless I'm missing something..I don't even see a basic clock/alarm built in. I guess I assumed this was pretty standard from all ROMs. Yeah, there are plenty 3rd party ones available but why not just keep the one that is integrated with the OS??
3) The OTA Updater app STILL doesn't work at all. It gives the same error I reported back in release 1.
4) Bluetooth seemed spotty but I haven't tested it much to really confirm the issue. Same wit the built-in wifi tether.
I'm walking around to some bars last night, you know, just minding my own business, and I decided to check my phone on the way back to the car. I had previously installed Atom Launcher the two days before, and I've been playing with it ever since. Then I had to install the update for Beats Installer so Beats will work in Spotify - I need to listen to some jams, and the Beats stuff does help a bit.
The installer said it needed to reboot. I'm all, "Okay. It needs a reboot anyhow." (I usually hit cancel. I guess I should have again.)
So it reboots.
No lock screen. Can't unlock my way in. The only way is to slide down the notification bar, go into settings, then press the home button.
Okay! I'm on the home screen! Let's open up Spotify so I can listen to some jams on my way home. Yeah! Wait. No audio? And now it's randomly rebooting?!
Vigor 360 1.1, you had one job. You're going to make me have to go back to Infeffabilis Deus 1.2!
And so I did, reluctantly.
Can anyone give me a possible solution? Also, before it's asked, everything Sense-wise has been uninstalled (launcher, weather, etc.). I do not have a single clue why or how, as I didn't authorize that action.

If you're gonna de-sensify, unless you need some specific feature, consider just going to an AOSP rom.
I'd check the Vigor 360 1.1 thread to see if anyone else has had this issue, not sure why you'd ever leave the Dues if you want a Sense based rom though..
its looks to me that ur system files has been corrupt
try reflash without wipe
hope it will help

Well, I didn't want to de-sensify, per se. I like the features of Sense, it adds on to the system (and the camera software is better than in AOSP). I did start getting better battery life with Vigor360 and that's one reason why I switched to it, though my only issue with it was that Google Play Services would not install, which caused some minor annoyances. But I'll be sticking to Deus again, as I did before.

I was figuring as much. I just didn't know if there was a way to fix that. I could probably crack open the ROM zip and replace the files, but I have no clue how well that would work out. lol
Unless the dev is doing something in the installer script to force a wipe, a dirty flash will only wipe and replace your /system partition.

I use NEO 2.0.. it has the BEST battery life of any Rezound Rom to date... I'm an Audio junkie as well.. I use Bluetooth headphones and battery life is awesome. Plus It's a desensed Rom but you still have the Sense camera and music player.
