There is no Rom for the Focus, I dont recomend this phone. I got a mine almost 4 month ago and was loaded with another Rom, I wait for a Rom to appear and i lost my hope,, no one is interested on it. So I sell the phone to a very dumb guy. Just resell it.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
How much do you want for it? I'm pretty dumb... :p
[Focus General] crecsky:
Would that not make you the dumb one for buying a phone that didn't have a stock rom in the first place? As is stands I think the stock rom is more than smooth enough. Yes there are things lacking and not as many tweakable options as android, but it is still very usable. Just be patient, it will come eventually.

Nobody seems to realize the disasters of Android when they first came out. We are already far ahead with WP7 on a timescale point of view.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
Nobody is dumb here, we all just have different expectations from our devices.

Also, along the lines of time frames, WP7 is also ahead of the iPhone when it was released. It too had it's headaches, and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we get cut/paste faster? And MultiTasking will be here WAY faster than iPhone got it.

Just be patient, and give it a little time to mature. It's coming along quite nicely, especially lately. And the ATT feet dragging on the update? I'd much rather they took a little extra time than see a bunch of people in these threads with bricked phones, or upgrades that didn't work as planned. That can kill an OS. I think the first Feb update showed them they need to be cautious, and that's exactly what they are doing. No, I don't like to wait, I'm as impatient as the next guy, sometimes more, but it will be worth it in the long run.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
UPDATE!​

I was concerned that forcing the NoDo update and then using the Windows Recovery Tool had made my phone unable to receive the March NoDo update from ATT.

Well, I'm happy to say that I just plugged my phone in this morning, and I'm RIGHT NOW updating to the "Samsung update for Windows Phone".

WOOHOO!!!! I thought I was hosed...

Now, the question will be, Can I Unlock It? I doubt it, but at least I'm getting the actual Update from ATT. I'm hoping there is a firmware update included also. I'll let you know.
[Focus General] UzEE:
I did try to use the Windows Phone Support Tool, and even disected the code. It still needs signed FFUs from Microsoft to flash to the device. You can't just make it flash your custom ROMs.

It would really be awesome is someone was indeed working on a ROM for Focus right now, because then I would be able to bring my phone back to life. But unfortunately, I've been wating since february and it hasn't happened, and there have been people who have been waiting even longer.

I can't even sell the device to anyone because it doesn't even boot up. Its just a paperweight now. It was a bad decision to buy this phone. Should have gone with the Omnia 7 instead.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
When you tried the Support tool, did it even see the phone? Will your phone even go into Restore Mode (Power/Camera)?

Just throwing ideas out, hoping to stumble across something that makes it light up again... ;)
[Focus General] MRWRANGLERS1:
I dont understand why you are bashing this phone so badly. I moved from a fuze with win 6.5 plus. I loved the freedom i had with that phone. but, as with any rom and initial release of an op system. there will be bugs. there will be updates. This all takes time. I think this phone is awesome for now. Its very easy to use and is powerful and very fast. The wifi is much faster than what im used to. Just be patient there will be some great improvements to come for this.

Focus Rom

This maybe a true Focus Rom but the person who is saying it works has not or will not say how he used this rom. The upload tool included with the Rom does not work.

If it really does work why not just tell us what you used to flash the phone?

The other ROM 7004 included in the thread is a AT&T Demo ROM so don't use it.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I don't think so. On any of the claims.

He has clearly stated how he did it, the tool as well, but nobody actually verified. Unless someone actually tries those with a Focus, all rest are suppositions. Including mine.

So unless someone actually tries them, I have to say what the original poster (Chinese) said they are:

There are 3 roms posted there now:

-UCKC3

-UCKC3 mod/custom 7004 (no idea what that means)

-AT&T Demo

The last 2 have been posted by me in that order in the Focus UCKC3 rom thread.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
does anyone know how to use this? i need an instruction :(
[Focus General] rrmcco:
I have a Samsung Focus and I did try the ROM's mentioned in the Chinese site both are the AT&T ROMS.

The UCKC3 ROM I can not use with the tool to update.
[Focus General] rrmcco:
I am not 100% sure but i believe he stated the tool worked for him. But I had already posted this comment.

I'm not here to say bad things, I just had not sean a coment on how he was able to use the ROM, and was hoping somebody would say how they did it. And yes he did.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
If you're talking about me, I only posted the roms, I haven't tested them.
[Focus General] rrmcco:
No I'm not talking about you.

I'm saying I tried all of the ROM's

Two are AT&T Demo and one i can't load with the tool.
[Focus General] rrmcco:

It is so great to have the ROM's available to restore the phones and allow unlocking again.

[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Btw, can you clarify what's different in your method than flashing the stock AT&T from the stock rom thread?

I've compared binary the eboot, pda, phone and csc and they all are identical to the ones in stock UCJK2 for Focus 1.3

The only thing different is you're using WP7 Downloader Ver 7.41 instead of 7.05 included in stock :)

So, the flasher is different but the rom is exactly the same as UCJK2. The flasher's role is to flash, regardless of version. So what exactly is new?

I'm not bashing, I'm asking :) Maybe I'm missing something.
[Focus General] hackarchive:
i thought this thread was to help with retail roms.So i posted here to help.Nothing new just that this cleans ur device from magldr and custom rom stuff so u can sell it in the future.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Ah, I see what you mean. It's true mate, the thread is about help with retail/stock roms but the date was 1 year ago... Since then, we have stock roms to help, as indicated in rrmcco 's post (in the roms thread).

No worries, it's still good for peeps to find it :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Since I personally have dealt with this issue quite a few times recently in my testing and flashing of new ROM's, I figured I'd post it up in case anyone else also had the issue.

Basically this error occurs when your phone has lagfix enabled (file system converted to EXT4) and something (possibly a flash, restore, or factory reset) brings files into the system in the stock RFS format. I.E. If you were to use odin to restore your phone to stock before converting things back to RFS.

Here is a screenshot of what this may look like if you manage to get into CWM, keep in mind sometimes you will actually revert to the stock(blue) recovery but you will see these same errors there if you're having this issue. If you bugger it up as bad as I did, you may not even get passed either recovery - you won't see the samsung logo at all as it'll go right to recovery.

NOTE: Disregard the first two errors, those errors are a result of using an older version of CWM and are normal for that version - you must have the "E: Can't mount..." errors for this to be the issue you're experiencing.

Here is the easiest fix. [This is for the Mesmerize.]

1. If you don't have a copy; download the full stock 2.2 odin package (NOT the one with custom recovery, you will need to flash that one AFTER flashing the full stock version as it won't fix the issue by itself) and of course, odin if you don't have it.

2. Load up the .pit in the .pit slot and the .tar.md5 in the PDA slot and get your phone into download mode. (I usually pull the battery, plug it in and hold volume down, there are other methods) Also check the "repartition" box.

3. Once odin see's your phone (look for a yellow COM: box) hit start and it will flash the stock files to your phone.

4. Put the battery back in and boot the phone up, we need to get the file structure converted back to RFS and you won't be able to do so through normal means.

5. Create an empty file (In windows just erase the extension) and name it "disable lagfix" no extension

6. Download QT ADB from here (or just use ADB), and move the file from your PC to the Voodoo folder on your SD card. Reboot your phone, you should hear the lagfix being disabled (robot chick voice)

7. After that is complete, all your stuff will be converted properly - but if you don't flash a clean full OS again (like you did in the first few steps) you will revert to these errors once lagfix is re-enabled. So, repeat steps 1-4, and don't forget if you want the custom recovery you can odin flash that package AFTER you use the full stock package, this is just to ensure all your files are clean and installed properly.

8. You now have a clean phone with everything in the proper format and working properly, so you know what to do from here ;).
[Samsung Mesmerize] notsurewhatidid:
help please

i flubbed...flashed before i read with odin...my phone is giving me the cant mount and i'm not sure i'm doing your directions right...tried several times and nothing...the disable lagfix and adb part has me comfused
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I think when I wrote this I missed a step, right before step #5 you may need to flash a voodoo kernel so that lagfix can get disabled through the instructions in step 5 and on.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
When I had this happen to me I just odined the stock 2.1 files and checked the repartition box. Fixed me right up. Going to stock 2.2 didn't fix my problem tho.My dumbass tried to odin ec10 stock with root and recovery from cm7 with ext4 (voodoo) enabled. I wanted to reset my phone you know...haha yeah thought I done ****ed myself
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
The custom root and recovery one didnt work for me either, used the other. I've never gone to 2.1 but whatever works :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] King Mustard:
Oooh, flashing 2.1 fixed all my RFS/EXT4 issues! Thank you! :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] PimpFinger:
First of all let me thank you for sharing this.

I've got the same error that you listed minus the "missing bitmap" part.

My trouble started when trying to Odin back to EB11 froyo from phidelt82. (I had a copy saved) I believe I'm having this issue because I used a different version of odin than the one I usually use, and the Re-Partion box was checked. I didn't notice it was checked until it started.

Since then I haven't been able to get past the recovery.

I can however flash recoveries, kernels, and most roms,(via odin or zip) but I never even see the samsung logo on reboot. It just goes straight to the recovery.

I've created the file disable-lagfix and dropped it in voodoo folder.

At this point I can enable/disable voodoo all day long, but after disabling and flashing eb11 or ee25 stock immediately after I still get the Can't mount errors.

(they look a little different in stock recovery, but I'm pretty sure it's the same error)

I've done this several times both with Re-Partitiion checked and unchecked to no avail.

Right now the error I'm getting is "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" log, log, last_log, last_log.

I've been working on this since Sunday and I'm nearly at my wits end. :confused:

If anyone out there can tell me if I'm just missing something or if there's another procedure. I would very greatly appreciate it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Ok, the can't mount "log" and such errors might be a little different - were you on or are you on an MTD rom? (miui or CM7) because those errors will show if you're using the 3 button method to get into recovery while one either of those two roms. If you can, jump on IRC and get some help, we're around and more than willing to walk you through.

[Samsung Mesmerize] PimpFinger:
Just wanted to say I got my problem fixed following the advice of bdemartino to flash EE23 via odin.

The other builds I was trying to flash were not full builds.

Thanks again! I was ecstatic after my phone finally rebooted!:D
[Samsung Mesmerize] Thainfamous20v:
Is it safe to say that anyone who has odined back to stock has lost all data?

I think there has to be a way to push an rom that uses the lagfix and won't go into an endless boot cycle.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Yes you will lose all data.

If you figure it out let us know, but no it doesn't seem to be possible.

I can still use this adb reformatted fix right

If not I read that I can flash a full build pit and tar check repartition boot then Odin a cwm and flash an rfs reformatter zip to fix my problems

Is that true too
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klobkelosh:
I've been searching for a fast custom ROM where exchange mail works consistently on the ERIS and doesn't kill the battery in less than 8 hours. Stock ROM worked most of the time. I know it has been a problem on CM6 and CM7, but was hoping a dev may have found a fix. I have tried:

KaosFroyo - never worked reliably

Nonsensikal Froyo - worked most of the time, but was very laggy

GSB 1.5 - mail worked flawlessly but not everything else; subsequent GSB versions based on RC1-4, exchange would die after 6-8 hours and wouldn't start without reboot.

OMGB 1.1.1 - so far so good after a few days, but who knows

I've also tried touchdown (didn't like it), Secure EAS and Enhanced E-mail (both worked perfectly but drained battery fast), K-9 mail (no exchange push, no calendar and contact support).

Any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neera:
I am on workshed's GSB v2.8 | GingerBread 2.3.3 [CM7.0.0 NIGHTLY] and had no trouble setting up my work exchange e-mail.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klobkelosh:
I also had no trouble setting up exchange on gsb. But I need push and calendar sync, and those services would die after a few hours using stock mail app.

[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
Come on bro let that pass. They literally spun 180 degrees now. I mean name me one android manufacturer that allows unlocked bootloaders. Heck the Play is on Android 2.3 only the nexus s is 2.3 right now not even the dual core atrix is there yet.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
They allow unlocked bootloaders for the precious few who will get the phone unlocked right away, which creates a good bit of confusion for the buyers of free phones. As of now, I don't know if my sim-unlocked phone's BL's are unlockable or not . I bet Samsung (who has announced that they will open their BL's as well) and the rest of manufacturers will follow the same policy as Sony, as it makes sense: if you want to fully own the phone, give us hundred percent of the phone's price. If you get a carrier subsidy, you don't have any say on who owns the phone's insides.

And even if their bootloaders were open like the sea, that doesn't address the other point: Sony's software sucks, and their after-sale support sucks even harder. If you buy something from Sony, it's because it has great hardware and it's solid, not because of what Sony promises to do with it.

Actually, the same applies for any Android device: if you want an issue addressed, you better put your hopes (and your beer funds) in a good-willed programmer. The device seller will leave you unattended, and you can only hope that although they let you and your phone rot, they haven't killed the chances for improvement. Why do you think I titled this thread What do you expect of a CUSTOM ROM?

And you know the best part? The fact that the manufacturer doesn't care about its Android products is a good thing. It leaves open space for tinkerers to do as they please. I had a Galaxy S (the one I'm selling for this phone) with Gingerbread before the Play was even released.

[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I'm above "hating" the company which made the netbook and the telly I use every day. I bought them because they are excellent pieces of kit: Sony always packs good hardware. That doesn't blind me to the fact that they suck in software: e.g many an XPlay reviewer recommended to do away with Timescape as your daily driver launcher since it has a lot of issues with speed and stability.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes. What ROM are you running? CWM3 is for EXT4 filesystem only. So it must be detecting that it never converted your file system. You should use the one click root with CWM 3.0.0.6, have an EXT4 compatible ROM on your sd card ready to flash, then boot into Clockwork, let it convert to EXT4, flash the ROM, then you can try Rom Manager. I know a lot of people are using it but have also heard warnings against it.

Don't use rom manager. Its bad news for the epic. Use the one click root with cwm3. Rom manager will fflash cwm version 3.0.2.4. And you want cwm 3.0.0.6
