XDA II Help with upgrade & Video Files

Hi , I am a complete novice,
just bought an xdaII phone and my previous phone was a nokia 3210 so this is a large step forward for me.
i have a few questions which may already be in the forum but i cant seem to find.
firstly this is my set up:
ROM version 1.72.00WWE
Rom Date 03/15/04
Radio version 1.17.00
Protocol version 1337.28ExtRom version 1.72.181
firstly can i upgrade this phone, and if so how?
and secondly i am having problems getting video files to work.
I have a video convertor called Easy Video to iPod MP4 PSP 3GP Converter
but none of what i convert seems to work.
can a mini mp4 player be installed also as the windows media 9 player will not play any of the files that i convert, including wmv files.(i have also tries mp4 and 3pg and avi...but none play)...i have also tried converting my video thru winavi....with no luck also
many thanks,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the instructions as to how one upgrades are in the packet as a txt file

about video then easy way to watch mp4 files on the pc is quicktime
way too technical
i am a complete novice.
all of what i have just loked at looks like it was written by a neuclear scientist.
is there any advice on what i should do first for a begginer like myself please?
please forgive me for being so dumb but like i said my last phone was a nokia 3210 and what you have just directed me to is too advanced for my tiny brain to comprehend.

[Q] VRT v1.3.1 call recording - language issue

cheers folks,
even though i tried out searching the forums i did not find a adequate solution for my problem.
i'm running villainrom v1.4 on my samsung galaxy s2 (gt-i9100) and just installed call recording from the vrt-section.
call recording itself works fine (great job, pulser!!).
my problem is:
the language on my phone is set to german. since installinig the call recording tweak the telephonecall site (active call - dialing etc.) is in english language.
this leads me to two questions:
1. is it possible to re-adjust the language to german on the mentioned site while running this tweak?
and if this is not possible
2. how can i remove this single tweak (without removing the others?)
after reading reading reading and reading in the villain-tweak-section it appears that i would need to make some steps to kinda uninstall this tweak. what are the correct ones? as far as i know by now is something like this:
1. mount as rw
2. /sdcard/VRTweaks/backup/???????????
3. copy file
4. rename file
5. overwrite existing file in /system/???????/??????
so what files do i need to replace with which ones? is it one of phone_util.apk.bak, phone_util.odex.bak, phone.apk.bak? do i have to replace just one or all of them? and where is the correct file to not mess my phone up?
really appreciating your help!!
Sorry for double posting..
I didnt find a solution yet after 1day full of reading hete and in other forums..
I just think thaz i want to remove the call recording tweak and i need some advice to do so, please.
Thanks a lot

Youtube video problem on Xperia X10 / Android 1.6

My Xperia x10 phone is stuck with Andriod 1.6 because of the weak / faulty usb port. But Im fine with It and use It for months.
But since this early last month (June 2012) until now, I cant watch good quality videos of Youtube anymore. Its not in mp4 format now. Im sure. Because when I use my firefox in my pc and go in the URL m.youtube.com, I see the stream link of any video been changed. The last URL or format of the link became .3GP
Sample..
rtsp://v8.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQl1N2y7clN6ThMYDSANFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYPCDwfejir7-Tww=/0/0/0/video.3gp
Im sure before Its not in 3GP format. I know Its in .MP4 before. But now, Its became 3GP?
Is there any other way I can watch again good quality videos of Youtube? Like before in MP4 format?
And for infos, I can watch good quality of videos in MP4 format I think. But only in other website/s like m.wimp.com
Only this Youtube now where I cant watch good quality of videos anymore. I can watch videos on Youtube but In a very low
quality. Because Its changed now to 3GP format.
And again..
Is there any other way I can watch again good quality videos of Youtube? Like before in MP4 format?
not possibly buddy, unless u install 2.1
try AOSP 2.1 rom (not customised version) meaning 100% pure 2.1 port for x10.
i try to help u find link.
edit: i found the link. they even have a youtube screenshot.

do this.
1) enable usb debugging, stay awake, unknown sources.
2) install z4root.
3) install busybox
4) install xRecovery
5) wipe data, cache, dalvik
6) fix permission
7) install custom zip> the downlaoded zip rom file
8) reboot phone
BEFORE U DO THE ABOVE, TRANSFER THE FOLLOWING TO UR SD CARD VIA BLUETOOTH OR CARD READER:
1) xRecovery.apk
2) BusyboxInstaller.apk
3) z4root.apk
4) rom.zip
5) rom update.zip (optional)
YOU DONT NEED A USB PORT TO FOLLOW MY METHOD BECAUSE 2.1 is usable in the same baseband and kernel as 1.6.
To update kernel or bb, u need usb port. but, u dont need it if upgrading to 2.1
good luck

Android USB Drivers?

Okay so do we choose what the build has mimicked? Like MccMBoXMaX uses Sensation XL... So in HTC Support page would I choose that?
I'm trying to record a video of my 64Gb in Action on the HD2 and Android SD, but I wanna use MyMobiler... Already tried Screencast and copied the files over to my pc ready to upload to youtube and the mp4's wont play in any players.
1. Wrong section. Please post this in question and answer
2. GENERALLY windows 7 auto detects the drivers and we don't need to do anything. You have said that you have already copied the videos so then why do you need the drivers ?
3. Please make your post clearer. I can't understand more than half of it
4. The MP4 files might have gotten corrupted. It has happened to me when I use sense builds although I don't remember which one :/
Sorry if I misinterpreted anything
:silly: this was posted 17th August 2012, 04:11 AM
& he wants to have a video of his 64gb running on HD2
