Using TouchXplorer I was interested in the file \Windows\mologo.bmp Well I did manage to actually replace it, but before I did I made a "copy" in \My Documents\Zune\0300\ However, I cannot delete the back up. It still has the read only attribute set to it. I have been searching for a moment now, and I am pretty sure I can get rid of the file using the HTC proxml utility. The problem is I don't know the syntax of how it would be done.

So can this be done? or am I stuck with that file just taking up space since I can't delete it due to the read only?

Below is the code I am attempting to make work

<characteristic type="My%20Documents\Zune\Content\0300\mologo.bmp" translation="install"/>

<characteristic type="Delete">

<parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="H" />

<parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="R" />

<parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="S" />

<parm name="ForceDelete"/>

</characteristic>

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ej4y:
Hello all

I have been playing around with custom roms and using generic basebands, but lately I need to get back to SE's carrier-specific 2.1 because I believe I have some local carrier settings that I need in order to properly send long sms and mmses. I've used SEUS successfully in the past to repair/reflash.

However after starting up SEUS for the first time in some time, it scans and checks my phone in flash mode and then tells me I have the latest software, but there is no repair button, only an 'exit' that when clicked closes SEUS. I recall vaguely that there used to be an option to repair or reflash? Can anyone help me by giving me some instructions as to how I can reflash using SEUS? Is there some button that I missed? Or is there no such option in the latest version of SEUS? :eek:

thanks very mch in advance!

PS I'm not using PC companion as every time I try to repair, after going into flash mode and it says it is 'downloading' the update, it always tells me that 'there is no software available for your phone right now' midway into the process.

Have u used flashtool before? U can use it to get back to 2.1. Its in the development section of the x10 forum. Its on page 1 or 2. Sorry i would post it but i am away from the computer. There is a howto guide by rendeiro2005 inside the flashtool link. Good luck. Will help u wen i get up in the morning lol

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-FACE:
...Or, maybe you will find your operators' firmware here and follow the steps in the thread to flash it.

NB! Note that it is 1.6 firm, but after flash u can update to 2.1 in the normal way trough SEUS or PCC.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ej4y:
Yeah I used flashtool in place of seus for flashing eventually, but I need a carrier-specific fw.

Thanks G-face for the link but there isn't a Singapore one. Is there no way to reflash using SEUS now?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Seus i believe will give u the latest firmware. It wont put u back at 1.6 if ur phone is already debranded. Sorry i cant help u. I didnt know ur carrier had its very specific firmware. If i come across the help u need i will post it.

what rom are you running on? i had exactly the same problem a couple of days ago with beta4 installed.

you need to get back to any 2.1 stock rom, then the SE update sw will let you repair your phone.

i had an old xrecovery-backup from the latest update to bb .54, i flashed that via xrec and then it was no problem to repair with pc companion...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pataxda:
I think you can search for the last files SEUS downloaded for you and then flash them back with flashtool, e.g. in my case SEUS downloaded 2 big files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs

One of them is ~150Mb and the other ~15Mb.

Then all you have to do is decrypt them with flashtool and create a bundle to be ready to go. I hope that works for you.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
+1) use the app root explorer, set to R/W, and long press on build.prop file, and open in text editor. Then edit the CDA number from generic back to Singapore. It is repeated twice maybe three times. For example, the x10a global generic is 1234 - 4820, and to change back to X10a Brazil is 1234 - 4836. Save and close changes. Reboot phone.

Find the folder where you saved the Update Service on your pc. Go into the folder and delete the contents of "db" folder. This will wipe any data so Update Service will have to reread your device and download the appropriate firmware for repair software.

Turn off phone. Run SEUS. It Will say that you already have the latest software. REPAIR ANYWAY. DONE!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Um, That's because your not running Sony Ericsson firmware anymore. :-)

To get back to stock 2.1 either "repair software" via SEUS or PC Companion, or restore your xRecovery backup if you made one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ej4y:
There doesn't seem to be a 'repair software' option for me in SEUS, after checking phone in flash mode the only thing I get is 'exit' :/
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Ok, then use flash tool 0.2.9 and flash global generic firmwar. Both found here.

Then you can root with the flash tool, and then modify build.prop.

Disclaimer: This post is unstructured and may be missing crucial info because of that. Please point out the glaring errors and omissions.

Background:

Phone: Huawei Ideos U8150 (Aircel India branding)

OS: Stock 2.2 original firmware (Build number: U8150V100R001C234B832SP02)

Root: Z4Root temporary root (superuser and su installed by z4root)

Relavant Apps: SL4A+Perl for android, Vim for android, Connectbot, dropbear ssh client

I use vim and perl as my primary work tools and have them working beautifully on my Ideos. However, I am unable to access my source code as it is in a subversion repository with only svn+ssh access. So first, I got ssh on my phone (dropbear client 0.49) and then, searched for a subversion build for Froyo.

Finding nothing by way of a command line client for subversion, I decided to build it on my own with the NDK. This is where I've run into trouble. It has a lot of issues building it and once I do, it fails to run on the phone. Has someone tried to do this and successfully managed it? If so, I'd really appreciate the binaries and info on how to install :)

If not, I'd like to pool our knowledge for getting a successful build/run.

My process:

1) minimal Ubuntu lucid lynx

2) install ant1.8, make, and sun jdk 1.6 using apt-get (no X)

3) get the SDK in $HOME and use the Commandline interface to get everything (no package selection possible, just oneshot all selection)

4) get the NDK into $HOME

5) get svn source tar

6) get svn dependencies tar (svn site itself)

7) untar them together

8) Follow this and this to get the configure script running.

My configure is (using froyo: android-8 platform)

PATH="$PATH:$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/android-arm/sysroot/usr \
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-androideabi \
CFLAGS="-mandroid -nostdlib" \
CPPFLAGS="-I$NDK/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/include" \
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link=$NDK/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/lib/ \
-L$NDK/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/lib/" \
LIBS="-lc -lcrypt" --without-ssl --without-neon --without-serf --disable-dso

9) Get configure to run successfully.

9.1)Fix failures because cross-compile checks not possible: yes to /dev/null, yes to setpgrp void, no to PROCESS SHARED locks, no to TCP_NODELAY with TCP_CORK

9.2) Fix all config.sub to accept androideabi as a valid os (add relevant section into OS switch-case),

10) run make

11) Fix make issues (make APR_HAVE_IOVEC = 1 in apr.h, remove conditional so that fdatasync is defined as fsync in sqlite3.c)

12) fix link issues with libcrypt by creating the libcrypt from here and adding it to $NDK/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/lib/

13) Run make install to create deployment tree.

14) tar gzip it and push on phone. (including libcrypt)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Hi Everyone,

As an individual that has recently migrated from the Hero forums where radio flashes are recommended on a willy nilly basis to "solve" common problems (such as GPS or wifi issues), I have to ask, why is the attitude on the opposite side of the spectrum here? I'm open to technical explanations or anything else that may be relevant.

On the Hero side of things, I noticed that most bricks were products of user error. Considering that HTC released both a GSM and CDMA version of the device (and naming them exactly the same), many unsuspecting users would brick by flashing a CDMA radio on a GSM Hero. In other cases, impatient users would pull the battery during the flashing process -- all while unaware of the consequences.

So, I'd like to hear different opinions on this seemingly contentious issue (as I do see users recommending radio flashes in light of the warnings from developers to not touch the radio at all).

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Anybody recommending flashing radios on a "willy nilly basis" are flippin' retards. Doesn't matter if your phone is a 32A (Hero/Magic), 32B (Dream/Magic), or a Vision.

The risks are as follows;

1) An incorrect or incomplete flash WILL render the hardware "bricked".

2) A radio that is incompatible with the hardware or the SPL *WILL* render the hardware "bricked".

Go into the DREAM forums and count just how many people bricked their phones due to something really stupid, like incompatibility with the SPL.... there is always a chance that a new radio will be incompatible with an old SPL. Especially since there are FOUR DIFFERENT SPLs available for Vision.... US/International shipping SPLs, US/International ENGINEERING SPLs. Note that the ENGINEERING SPLs carry older version numbers than the SHIPPING SPLs, so new radios will NOT be made to have compatibility with engineering SPLs in mind.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNadler:
Is there someone out there that can help clarify the proper way to determine the correct radio for each Desire Z that is out there? This would be the biggest help to all. Education of the proper procedure and the correct radios to use would be more of an asset than having everone scare each other with tales of the bricked phone! If we had an accurate listing for each phone with the MD5 of the files involved there would not be nearly as many bricked phones. I have no doubts the Mods would sticky it for us also.

This is a site that we all come to to learn and I am sure we all enjoy experimenting with our phones and want to do it as safely as possible.

I currently use an Inspire 4g and it took me 7 radios before I found the one that worked to my satisfaction with the rom I am using in the area of the world that I live in. I found it, now I leave it alone.

Why am I putting my .02 in you may ask? I am waiting for a desire Z that I bought on ebay to arrive so I can experiment with it as a spare phone. I just sold 2 Captivates that were spares to get the DZ. I would love to have an accurate source of information that I can further my own education.

I do not have the knowledge to do this or I would but I am sure there are some people that are a lot more intellegent than I that can.

Sorry to be so long winded but I wanted to make sure I did not come across sounding pushy. Just a thought to help all concerned. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HLeenders:
Every phone sold in regular mobile phone shops on this earth is provided with the correct radio for the region where it is sold. As in a closed box with EMEI numbers and all the stuff on it. If you live in the outback of Australia and buy (through Ebay) a phone originated for Estonia then you could be in for a surprise.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNadler:
That is exactly my point.

There are a lot of people that for one reason or another WILL change their radio. Why not make it so all that do are educated on the proper way to do it and have a correct listing of the proper radio for each device with the coresponding MD5 to minimize the issues? Is this not part of what xda is all about? IMHO it will help all concerned.:)

I decided to remove the rubbery screen protector I've had on my phone since I got it. Love how easy it is to scroll without it. I do know the screen can get scratches but not sure how common it is. What kind of shape is your screen in if you are not using a screen protector?
[Vibrant General] buru898:
I used to never put a screen protector on because I never drop my phone and take care of it.

I have a holster and never put it in my pocket and I never got a scratch on it. The screen does good on its own.

I put on a screen protector because it came free with a phantomskinz skin and kept it only because it like 100% eliminated the grease that comes from your finger and there's no need of having to wipe your phone every time you turn it on so I kept it.

I usually never use screen protectors and this phone does have a good scratch-resistant screen so just don't drop it or put it in your pocket with other stuff and you shouldn't have to worry about it scratching up ;p.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I have one VERY light scratch on the screen, you really wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it. Had my Vibrant since August. I tried applying the screen protector that came with my OtterBox, only to find that I still suck at applying them. So I've given up on them. :p

I've been very luck screen-wise. I've dropped the phone several times (including this morning), and the screen has no major scratches. This without any protector. I've heard mixed things about Gorilla Glass, but it definitely seems tough to me.

It does have burn-in. That's really its only flaw IMO. It puts my HD7's screen to shame in all aspects other than size.

Got my Vibrant at launch in July and have never had a screen protector on it. I usually leave it in a lightly padded case when I'm not using it though sometimes I'll throw it in my back pocket by itself if I'm in a hurry. I've also managed to drop it face down onto a parking lot. That one made me cringe.

The best part? No scratches or other damage whatsoever. I'm pretty pleased with the resilience of the screen.
[Vibrant General] nbhnohome:
Take it to Tmobile and get a replacement before warranty runs out
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
I dropped mine down 2 flights of steps (it skid down the steps), and all I got was a bunch of very tiny scratches on the screen that can't be seen unless you actually look for them.

In normal lighting, you have to angle the phone to see it.

Any other phone would have a crap-ton of scratches (the phone also took a 6 foot drop when I first dropped it, before it skid), so yeah, I love gorilla glass. <3

I may get a replacement, but except for the screen scratches, my phone has no issues. GPS works, everything. I don't want to exchange this perfect phone for a phone with a good screen, but can't overclock, and has GPS problems. >.>

I think I'll just stick with it unless T-Mobile will give me something else. :P

I did the same thing today! I bought some horrible protectors when I got my phone & quickly switched to a Reallook protector. As far as protectors go, that one is top notch.

I got sick of it, took it off and put on another one of those old protectors last weekend. The damn thing actually attracted dust & grit. Just a few hours ago I ripped it off and threw it in the trash.
