Nothing to do with been anal, Its to do with wanting the forum to be organized and posting crap in wrong places hinders that.

Back on topic, Splitting of the forums just isnt needed, If you want CDMA topics do a title search for CDMA using search option or just browse section as normal, its not hard to differentiate the topics.

A good vB forum mod to install to make it easier for you would be the prefix mod that enables posters to choose set prefix's, these are color coded so would be immediate more distinguishable.

If they were to re-split the forums it would be good to have some sort of third forum as a middle ground, maybe something like..

Galaxy Tab GSM Android Development

Galaxy Tab CDMA Android Development

Galaxy Tab MISC Android Development

That way we could have a non specific section for adding stuff that relates to both device types.
[Galaxy Tab General] codewisp:
I believe most of the devs ACTUALLY make it clear which device their ROMs and kernels are for. People just don't read properly.

For me, it's more of actually being of help to the guys who don't read properly and complain about broken tabs rather than being able to be more organized. After making mistakes so many times they'll finally learn to do proper reading.
[Galaxy Tab General] oldmacnut:
I'm smart enough to look at the title, and I liked it the way it was before.

At 3am, tired, doped up on my meds, feeling frisky to flash a new rom, brain fried, it was easier to go to the CDMA section, now I have to be even more careful. Not that it matters if I flash a GSM on my CDMA as I can always restore, but that's not the point.

Yes there are way to many kiddies that wont read for a week before they flash a kernel or rom and get stuck on a normal samsung boot loop, and it is normal for someone like me to ask if putting a gsm on a cdma tab will completely break it, or if it would work, and there are the lurkers who just want to install stuff.

So separating was a better idea, I could have gone to the forum for the device I wanted to read about, knowing i was in gsm or cdma, now I have to decipher what is what, or the more popular GSM threads might push an important cdma thread to page 2, where it would have been at the top for a week, and don't get me started on the HC ports for both GSM and CDMA, that alone could really screw someone who doesn't have 3 tablets and can afford to be without a daily use tab for an entire weekend.

A good mod/admin looks beyond what they feel the more established crowd might like, and makes adjustments for the new people that could provide help for projects like the HC port once they have been able to read in an organized forum. Also what exact proof is there that the former setup did more damage? what, and extra click or 2 to go back and forth between cdma and GSM? ****, put a direct link in your FF BM tab,

Like this............
[Galaxy Tab General] option94:
It was split into two, and then people started complaining to svetius so it was put back. We're never gonna make everyone happy here, but we're trying.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheATHEiST:
My gripe about the split was that there was no middle ground. For example there was no section to post stuff that wasnt device specific.

IMO it should either be left as it is now, not split or split and a third section added for misc or "non device specific".

I used that image which is here, along with the instructions:

Do I simply follow the instructions again but with the image here:

I.E, do I work without worrying that my NC is already rooted?

I would like to revert if possible, to update the framework to 1.1, cause I think it enhances the wireless connection, then root again with CM7. Is that a good idea? If so, how do I revert?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Shadowise:
Rooting is only required if wish to open up the stock ROM to install other applications. CM7 does not root your device, it's a completely new operating system.

If you want to install CM7 you don't need root access as the NC boots from the uSD slot first.

I went from rooted 1.0.1 Stock to CM7 without any problems. I don't think the 1.1.0 update affects CM7 at all, as it's a completely separate ROM so there isn't really any need to install it. You can go straight to CM7.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mmota13:
Hello guys, i know it must be in somewhere in this forum but i just can't find it (and i searched a lot). I'm new at this stuff of using custom rom's so here it goes:

I have a Xperia X10 Mini with the following stuff:

Model Number: E10a

Version: 2.1-update1

Band Base Version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Version Number: 2.0.A.0.504

Im from Brazil and i want to upgrade my version number to the lastest one to be able to do the custom roms and stuff i guess the latest one is 2.1.1.A.0.6 right?

How can i do it? I already tried with SEUS and it gives me that "I already have the latest version of my software installed", tried to reinstall the software by SEUS and it only got me to the stock 2.1-update1 SE rom, with the same 2.0.A.0.504. :(

Can somebody help me please? If need more information just ask me! Thx everyone! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anon67:
Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update service) from SE site and update ur phone. Or else use PC companion (i prefer SEUS) , you can get that as well from SE site.

No isn't a problem.Flashtool is for all Xperia family.

Thanks!

And is there a problema to update from a E10a firmware to a E10i firmware?

Do you know where i can download (a link in the forum maybe) a 2.0.A.0.504 stock? Just to be safe if something goes wrong and i install it back?

Or i can do it by SEUS?:confused:

Sorry because i'm a totally newbie about it. I just want to learn before do it. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] evilbarcode:
Hey bro,

the best thing to do it to download the flash-tool and the appropriate fw for your e10a.

Here is the link for flash tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943645

That should explain everything you need to know.

Cheers,

evilbarcode.

EDIT: Do not download e10i instead of e10a, if your device is the e10a the problem with downloading e10i that is it will lock up the bands your sim provider uses to get you signal. e10i is gsm and e10a is the new cdma or whatever it is called now. well thats what ive been told. Someone can correct me if im wrong.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mmota13:
lol... guess now it's a little too late.. damn

Now i did the update by flashing a e10i firmware

Now i have the 2.1.1.A.0.6 and band base 015.. tested my roaming connection and it work till now..

I guess it's all working... i guess... think i'm gonna do the gigglebread now...

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] evilbarcode:
Oh. WEll maybe the newer fw is ok to flash to any phone of the same model. Back before the 2.1 update came out i accidentlly flashed u20a to my u20i and i could not get any reception anywhere near me. I duno either that or maybe i just f**ked up somewhere along the way haha. well good luck then.

Cheers,

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Orkeren:
you will probably not be able to recieve 3G... But you can easily flash over the e10a baseband without deleting any user data :)

Well at the moment you wont be able to flash e10a, as I (and probably neither you) can't find E10a 2.0.2.A.0.24 (baseband 006) nor E10a 2.1.1.A.0.6 (baseband 015) ;)

I've promised Blagus to work on getting the e10a firmwares :) So when I do I'll send the e10a bb015 firmware to you ;)

se x10 mini pro u20a on baseband 015?

I think perhaps baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 will run 3G on 900/2100Mhz, so if you use this on your U20a (E20a?), you can still get 3G, but maybe only on 2100Mhz.

NOT 900 (hardware for U20a does 850/1900/2100 I think) and

NOT 850 (since baseband 015 only does 900/2100)

I have a u20a with stock baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006 - it gets 3G on 850/1900/2100Mhz.

I'm just trying to clarify this, cos I want to use Owain's cyanogen 8 mod, but it requires bb M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 and I don't want to lose my 850Mhz coverage...

Am I a clueless Noob, or does this make sense to anyone?

Anyone else out there have a U20a running custom roms and getting 850Mhz coverage and care to share how you got there?

cheers,

Rich

FYI, My stock Phone :

SE X10 Mini Pro U20a

FW 2.1

Baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006

Kernel 2.6.29

Build #2.0.A.0.504

Carrier Telstra, Australia

3g bands 850/1900/2100Mhz
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] evilbarcode:
Hey bro,

Yes this does make sense. I have u20i so i cant confirm whether or not it works that way but i guess it would all depend on which freq your service provider uses (i know you posted that) but using flashtool you can go back to what fw and baseband you previously had installed. i do notice tho that you have the old build number. Whats up with that? Has an update for 2.1 not been released in aussie? I dont mean the actual 2.1 update from 1.6, i mean an update to the 2.1 fw itself. I guess unless someone can confirm i would just go for it and see what happens and if it dont work then flash back haha. But do a xrec backup first then if you need to go back it wont be so hard. If you need i can even recreate and update.zip for you from your xrec backup. Anywho, let me know if i can help some more.

Peace,

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Orkeren:
The baseband version (006/015) shouldn't affect your reception! What will affect your reception is wether you install e10a (u20a) or e10i (u20i) - The a-versions are for CDMA networks while the i-versions UMTS networks :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] r23d:
u20a firmware

Thanks for the quick answers guys -

@Orkeren : I think you're right that I need to install u20a firmware, not u20i in order to get reception on the right bands. I just need to find some u20a firmware with an up to date build so that I have a good chance of getting custom android builds to be compatible with the phone firmware (if I read the forums right). The u20a us still UMTS, not CDMA, it just uses different frequencies - in particular 3G is 850/1900/2100 instead of 900/2100.

@evilbarcode : Yep, I do have an old build (2.0.A.0.504) which cannot be upgraded ota with my carrier. I'm thinking of flashing the brazillian u20a firmware linked above with flashtool (which may have build 2.1.1.A.0.6 or at least be able to be updated to that with SE's online update tool SEUS) and then install a custom rom like miniCM or gigglebread that needs 2.1.1.A.0.6 "for kernel compatibility."

I have downloaded clean firmware from SEUS (for my carrier), got those files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs and decrypted them with flashtool, so I can revert to this if I get stuck. I already did this to test, which worked ok except my screen didn't come back on after power saving a couple of times (WTF?) until I did a firmware repair with SEUS again.

Questions to anyone who may know :

1. Is the baseband hard linked to the build number?

2. Is the baseband specific to a model #? U20a/i E20a/i If anyone has or had a stock u20i on bb 006, or a u20a on bb 015 we can answer this. I know the e20i and u20i both use 015

3. to revert to baseband 006 if I need different bands (am only assuming this) what .sin file(s) should I flash back?

4. Is there really any difference in firmware between the a/i versions, or is it all in hardware? I have yet to find a certain opinion on this, though it makes sense that there would be a difference.

Gonna experiment a bit and I'll let you know how I go...

cheers, and thanks again guys,

Rich

How to get 2.1.1.a.0.6 on your u20a!

Looking good so far.

I just used flashtool to put u20a brazillian firmware onto my Australian U20a handset. I downloaded the one linked on xda's thread for the u20a (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=777660) which came up as baseband 006 and build 2.0.A.0.504 (same as my Telstra U20a stock).

Using SEUS downloaded from SE, this successfully updated to bb 015, build 2.1.1.a.0.6! Unlike my Telstra firmware which would not update with seus.

I will use flashtool to decrypt the SEUS downloaded files and make another zipped fw for those who want to skip a step.

Now for some custom fun ! (rubs hands together with glee)

He wants custom ringtones on his HD7 but hes got the NoDo update and he's locked.

1- Have to go back to original stock Rom. (How do I do that??)

2- Have to unlock the phone with ChevronWP7 with this file http://www.nirmaltv.com/2010/11/25/unlock-windows-phone-7-with-chevronwp7/

3- install ChevronWP7 custom ringtone manager (again will this work with the latest update) from http://www.chevronwp7.com/post/2054291102/chevronwp7-custom-ringtone-manager

I have until April 16 for my 15 day window to swap devices. I wanted true objective opinions comparing the two options. I am thrilled with the overall performance of the TB but the things I am weighing are...

SAMOLED vs WVGA TFT (will the SAMOLED improve the poor battery life enough)

HDMI out for the samsung (I wish they had provided this on the TB)

all else seems the same to me since I would be rooting it and not using the touch Wiz UI or waiting on samsung for updates.

Is there any info that could/would tip the scales to Samsung?

Thank you for you input.
[Thunderbolt General] brettm22:
There is the build quality. From what I've seen the charge appears to be made with a cheap looking plastic back, while the build quality on the thunderbolt is great. There's also those physical buttons rather than the capacitive ones, but that's just personal preference. The hummingbird gpu is far superior to that of the thunderbolt, and the battery on the charge is larger. Whatever your decision you'll still have a great phone either way.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Its really your personal preference, sense or touchwiz. Light or heavy. Physical or capacitive. Its reallly up to you, all the LTE phones will and must be great
[Thunderbolt General] Sean Hicks:
I just came from the epic, and I feel like a fool for not buying htc sooner. Yeah, I liked the screen... But this screen is nothing to complain about. I am certain that the lack of samsung software updates will eventually bother you. My epic spent its whole life running buggy software leaks, and the alternative was horribly out dated stock os. I was sure that samsung was a better choice and I am still bothered that I even bothered with that phone.

If Samsung gave out better software updates and better build quality(comparable to iphone or htc), they would reign superior. No joke.

But seriously guys. Great response time. Thanks a ton! I will agree that I wish Samsung had not cornered the market on AMOLED. I love those displays but cant stand their current attitude towards updates and customer interest. I wasn't worried much about updates since I would be rooting immed, and personally I do miss not having to reach all the way on top in a bit of an awkward position to wake my device. That said I will stick with my TB now I believe pending some amazing life altering experience with the AMOLED on the 14th when I hold the charge side by side with the TB. If if is nominal then TB it is, if it will change the way I am able to use my phone with the AMOLED then Charge!

Thanks again for all the great input!
[Thunderbolt General] Sweeny Russ:
Truly, it doesn't matter that Charge is probably a better device. The community support for the thunderbolt can't be matched, that's why I'm sticking with it till htc throws out a dual core lte phone. And honestly, besides the battery, the device is a perfect fit for me. dlna works as a great substitute to hdmi, I'm happy. And don't knock the kickstand, I never put the phone down without it deployed. I like everyone to have to look at it when they walk bye it.
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
I own both Samsung Epic and HTC Thunderbolt. From experience:

Pros

HTC OS/software more stable

Samsung AMOLED (black should be black and not grey)

Samsung GPU performance

Samsung Touchwiz is more intuitive (don't care much for eye candy)

Cons

Samsung slow with OS releases and usually buggy in general

HTC weight (Ford Pinto weighs more than Porsche but it doesn't mean it's better)

HTC no built in file explorer

In a nutshell, Samsung has better hardware but it's nullified by unstable and slow software updates. HTC is a more usable phone and better experience overall due to more stable software even though the hardware is not as strong.

Even though I believe Samsung will have its own support community I do agree that the TB community is great and has a head start just as the og droid did and still does. Two things would make me thrilled.

1. Cyanogen gets an officially supported TB rom done.

2. Someone creates a DLNA to tv converter box (for those of us without DLNA supported tv's).
[Thunderbolt General] angermeans:
The thunderbolt has slcd screen and in my opinion I like the slcd better than samoled. I have owned nexus one (amoled), captivate (super amoled), incredible (amoled), incredible (slcd), and now thundeebolt (slcd) so I have used enough to give my opinion. I was a huge amoled fan and that is the reason I ignored everyone about samsung phones and picked up the captivate. Nevr again will I ever buy samsung absolutely horrible company that only cares about their bottom dollar. I would keep the bolt just for that, but if you want more I personally like slcd way more than super smoled as it uses the pentile matrix display (if you want an excellent read then google "arstechnica pentile") with slcd you get the bright vivid colors without the trade off of blurry text. I personally would choose slcd over any screen tech out right now, but that is just me. Besides the samsung phone being, well, samsung made it has that god awful chin and worst touchwiz. I know you are going to root but I promise the developer support will be much better on the bolt and verizon is sure to do their best to lock down the charge and we don't even know how long it will take to root and even longer get a great rom to get you off touchwiz. I see no positives in ever buying samsung especially over HTC but again that is me. Hope this helps and at least you know no matter what choice you make you will have the god send verizon LTE.
