I tried it thru Clockwork mod with no success.......

I've got DHD

2.2

radio 26.04.02.17

stock kernel

1.32.720.5 CL277010

I'm trying to get the OTA Update from HTC & they sent me a ZIP File
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
PD98IMG's cannot be flashed via CWM Recovery. Rename the zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and place in the root of your SD card (not in any folder).

Turn off your phone, disable HTC Fastboot if it's enabled, and power on holding Volume Down. This should start the Bootloader and it should read the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickyclewis:
Will try now.....Thanks a lot.

Hi ;)

i opened a thread a while ago, but i can't find it anymore. So here my new questions i got.

Sorry for these noob questions but i need a start :D

So:

What is exactly the difference between a SDK and a NDK.

And why became it possible to programm in c++ for android when the NDK came out?

Is there a difference between the possibilities regarding Android, depending on programming in c++ or java?

thx for your help
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
SDK is the main development kit for Android apps - it contains tools for Java and resources (png, xml) compiling, packaging to apk file, installing, running and debugging them on a device, an emulator, documentation, etc., etc. NDK is a set of tools to compile C code to shared lib, which you could use in your app - and that's all.

You could create an app using SDK only - most of apps does that. However you can't do it using NDK only, because you can't run or publish .so library just like that - you have to use SDK to integrate your library with the rest of an app.

I don't understand your question.

Java is the main language for Android development, so it has access to all APIs, also OS requires you to use Java in some places, e.g. when using Android UI. But NDK gets more and more APIs, so it's now possible to develop nearly whole app in C.
[Android Software Development] eaglesuper:
Hi,

thanks for your reply! You helped me a lot!

If i combine the beginning of your posting and the last few setences, is that conclusion correct:

I can develop nowadays nearly the whole app on c++ for example. With NDK and C++ i can only make libraries. Then i have to "arrange" them and test them and therefore i need Java?

And how different is Java and c++? Cause i always wanted to learn c++.

But in nowadays world i have the feeling that it's so old (no online stuff like java and php).

So does it still make sense to learn c++?
[Android Software Development] Sharpe351:
A word on my SDK... It keeps intentionally writing the wrong code on the status window for the emulator device...

"invalid command-line parameter: Files\android-sdk-windows\tools/emulator-arm.exe.

Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.

please use -help for more information"

Isn't it supposed to be: Files\android-sdk-windows\tools\emulator-arm.exe? Instead, its "/" is in the wrong direction. WTF?

Is this something with SDK? Or something else all together. I have a few .apk's to test (built in Eclipse) and I am unable to open the emulator to test. I would really like to have some input. Thanks in advance.

Here:
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
well java is a VM based based programming lang. c++ is a native language. the difference is that java gets compiled to VM byte code. These byte codes are the same for every android phone out there. the VM takes the byte codes and executes them (there is more, just a quick overview). since every phone has an implementation of the Dalvik VM (the one used for Android) then every application written in java can be run essentially the same on all devices.

c++ is compiled for specific hardware in mind. it gets compiled to cpu instructions. if you compile a c++ binary for a x86 machine its not going to run on an ARM based platform. since there are soo many different ARM based platforms, TI OMAP, snapdragon, tegra 2, etc, each with a slightly different implementation of the ARM standard there is an amount of incompatibility in compiled binaries.

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] PavelX1:
Hello,

so you was waiting so long for this? :) there it is - first ROM for Focus

March 2011 release!!

Enjoy it

Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCKC3-ATT-USA

i did not test it personally, so you take your personal risk :)

Happy Flashing
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Vico100:
is hardspl needed?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
has anyone used this? is it working? I am about to do it right now and I will let you know with the results..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] jkimrey:
Please report back.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
I tried this in my Focus but it doesn't work. I got the following message on the attached screenshot.. any ideas on this? it seems that the installer doesn't recognise my device as a Samsung Focus therefore it doesn't continue with the flashing procedure..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] domineus:
March 2011 so that means nodo?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] PavelX1:
There are two versions of I8700 (Omnia 7) firmwares

one for Retail Devices that are signed by "WP7_PRODUCT" and one for Developer Devices - signed by "WP7_ENGINEER"

For Focus me dont have any "WP7_PRODUCT" signed firmwares, so i am not sure if that one me put online today (signed by "WP7_ENGINEER") are suitable for Retail Phones that AT&T sells.

So its about to check all and get the best from this....its better to have something that nothing :) (some people will be VERY happy to see even maybe not flashable ROM)...
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
where did you find this ROM? do you have the other one also?!
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
He already said he doesn't have the WP7_PRODUCT release.

BTW, thanks, if this is the real thing it will make a lot of people happy!
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
you are right.. excuse me.. do you think is possible to alter or tweak few things on this one and make it workable to the retail devices as well?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
The rom loader appears to be for a different phone. I tried using the demo mode rom loader to load these rom files, as each tmp file corresponded with one of these rom files, but when i replaced the demo rom files with the legitimate rom files it would not move forward with the flash. Perhaps someone will figure it out.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
How can you say the rom is not retail... the loader surely is not, as it is looking for an SPH-i350 when it should be looking for the focus (SPH-i917)

If I was a little better with ollydbg id already have a solution but I am not very good with disassembly.

the rom is clearly not retail, but it is for this phone, and i would not mind testing it, as i do not use my focus for service right now, just my epic 4g
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
so probably what we need is someone to change the loader? could be a good idea to post this thread in a less specific forum as maybe someone should be able to do that..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] nimamamde:
the same error:eek:
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] cmmsex1i:
M dying to get Samsung Focus ROm

Guys my problem is I have a samsung focus which was unlocked with a code. i was on 7004 and i used Chevron Updater to update it by mistake I chose UK instead of US and now though the Phone has got the NODO update and works well but :( I can't open few applications like Phone(call), Text, Email etc and those applications are just crashing the moment i click them.

:mad:and worst thing is I can't connect it to ZUNE because the initial setup can't be completed (the setup of accepting terms and opening LIVE ID) and the ZUNE says that "PHONE SETUP INCOMPLETE"

Plese let me know if there is any way to connect the phone to zune so that i can update it through zune
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
first of all please read the rules, secondly, do not double or cross post ( this is the same with most forum), and lastly post in the right thread.

back to the subject, apart from this rom, has there been a non branded rom available, the last time i was gonna buy a i917 from expansys hk, i did remember that the phone boot up without the at&t logo, does this mean the f/w is non branded or simply the logo was just removed.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] cmmsex1i:
No there is no Samsung FOcus Rom (Retail) available on net!!!!!!!!!!
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dvorak123:
I can confirm that this rom does in fact work. Not all devices are recognised (I suspect the update tool looks for a developer device). But on a recognised device that I tested, this worked flawlessly and successfully reflashed the device to 7.0.7390.0

For those that want to force the rom to your phone, you may want to try the command line "UpdateWP" found under Program Files\Zune. Note, I haven't tested this method.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] cmmsex1i:
what application did u use to flash the focus as the one with it reports error..

Anyway thanks for hopes
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
Are you saying you used the attachment in the beginning of this thread to flash a samsung focus of yours? And if that is what I am to believe, was this phone to your knowledge a special model, or a model meant to be used as a dev device?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] cmmsex1i:
Can you modify the flash tool to make I work on all samsung focus devices?

Please if possible do it....
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
I can't find any UpdateWP in my Zune folder. Can you please detail the exact path and process? Like OS used, exact path of program... more details.

I also don't understand: should this flash Focus to 7390 aka NoDo?

Thanks
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dvorak123:
The rom flashes the phone to 7390 NoDo.

UpdateWP was found in Program Files\Zune on Windows Vista x32. I noticed that on my home machine with Windows 7 (both x32 and x64) this doesnt seem to exist. Other than the OS, the only difference I can see is that on the Vista machine I had the support tool installed. UpdateWP is probably bundled with that tool.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530409
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dvorak123:
Yes the attachment flashed the focus to 7390. The only thing "special" about this focus was it couldnt find an update through Zune. The two other focuses I have both updated fine.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
This seems to be correct, thanks for the info!

WPSupportTool-x86.msi from the link above contains (installs) WM7Update.cab which contains in turn some really interesting files:

FOCUS_DOT_FFU

FOCUS_FFU

OMNIA_FFU

as well as UpdateWP.exe and WPSupport.exe tools and some other dlls.

What's interesting is that the FOCUS_(DOT_)FFU files seem to contain flash information. These are pretty big 5MB files.

By looking with a hex editor one can find:

ImageFlash

[FullFlash]

Version = 1.0

MigrateUserSettings = False

UpdateType = Normal

DevicePlatformID = {F919253A-E2A1-4aeb-9E80-34BCFE6F7913}

FormatUserStore = False

[Store]

SectorSize = 2048

Name = OS

SectorCount = 477120

ID = {ACE7CC5C-5F30-474B-A662-989B9B9DBA90}

[Partition]

Name = SLDR

PartitionType = 32

TotalSectors = 3136

TargetStore = {ACE7CC5C-5F30-474B-A662-989B9B9DBA90}

Not very sure what these represent (has to do with StorageManager) but it might be useful for someone.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
Do you know what version the focus you flashed was before the rom push?

I am only curious because I feel like it should work, yet it says the binary version is an incorrect match to the phone. Is it talking about the image or the actual executable that pushes the rom? My phone has been acting up, I have done hard resets/formats and had no luck resolving my issues, but all that is besides the point. I just want to successfully push this rom already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I found the asian forum in which the origianl post's attachment was found, yet the translation is sooooo bad that I could not make much of it.

http://www.wpxap.com/thread-23016-4-1.html good luck understanding it, someone might.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Very interesting.

What they've been saying is almost none had success using UCKC3 rom (just a couple).

There is however a DEMO AT&T Focus 7004 ROM here:

http://u.115.com/file/e6ql5i0a

File size: 360.83MB

SHA1: 359E7139A6A018D6F3019FDF33C6B5686231A28F

Maybe someone can download it and upload it to regular fileshare. I can't translate that specific page.

Might be useful to understand the rom format...

LE: didn't read properly first time. There is a 7004 CUSTOM rom too which I am downloading now... Can't download the DEMO one though from 115.com
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
I downloaded the custom 7004 rom but it seems to contain the UCKC3 rom actually.

I might be wrong, because they're saying there's a live account in this rom that can't be removed. They seem to have managed to modify the DEMO rom with some other stuff.

Anyway, here's the content:

CSC_i917ATTKC3.csc

EBOOT_i917UCKC3_CA07_sec.eb0

I917UCKC3_REV07_RC1.bin

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
so are you saying the ukc3 rom or whatever has a live account in it that cannot be removed, or are you saying the modified or custom rom has that goin on....?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dvorak123:
No live account in the rom posted by the OP in this thread. After flashing you get to enter your live account.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
I got a bit confused.. Are you saying that it is possible to flash any samsung focus with this ROM? If so could you explain what has to be done in order to avoid getting the "not supported phone" error that everyone gets?

Thanks..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
No, I'm saying what that they seem to say in the Chinese forum: the custom ROM has build in account. Or at least that's what I could get. So it doesn't seem to be the rom from the first post, but a custom one.

Anyway, here are the files, for who wants to tinker with them:

http://www.multiupload.com/C2H8UZGVGZ

sidicious, this rom I posted is from your link.

In case it wasn't clear, in the Chinese thread you posted there are 3 (yes, three) Samsung Focus roms:

The original UCKC3, a custom UCKC3 with 7004 (!) - that I just posted - and another one I couldn't download, from http://u.115.com/file/e6ql5i0a
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
And yes, the ROM I posted above they say (on the forum, that) it can be flashed to *any* Focus. However, you do it on your own risk.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dvorak123:
What I'm saying is that the rom is in fact for the Samsung Focus and is build 7390.

I think it is possible to force the rom onto any Focus using UpdateWP command line (although I didn't try this because the update tool worked for me).
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dvorak123:
download the support tool (found in this thread) and run the command line UpdateWP under Program Files\Zune.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Btw, am I the only one getting the impression nobody from the chefs, rom cookers, people with skills, etc want a Samsung Focus rom?

I would have expected by now, from all the people with knowledge on WP7, that someone would have found something (no offence dvorak123, you seem a simple user like me). Or a simple reason why not.

A great strategist said Divide et impera. Someone who's actually more knowledgeable about the roms, could break down the issues in tasks and make a checklist.

Sorry for my ranting but I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how it's possible that after 6+ months we don't have a stock rom for Samsung Focus.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] carmello1911:
I found UpdateWP but when i double click it it just blinks and then nothing.. what I'm I suppose to do next? the flash program still doesn't recognise my focus as the right devise for this ROM..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
You need to run it in a command line.

Start->Run->CMD

go into the folder with the tool and run it there.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
I now have a full understanding of the the updater.

My only question is where do I place the rom files from the UCKC3 rom... Because I feel like I need backup files or something... cab.pkg files...

correct me if I am wrong. I am way too new to wp7 to know.

Also, is there any way you could make a backup image of your UCKC3 flashed phone? That is if you do not know how force push the bin/nb0/csc files.

EDIT* after looking at the uckc3 csc file in bintext, i noticed lots of references to cab.pkg files... if there is a way to extract these files to that form that would be an easy enough fix.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
And here is the last ROM from the chinese thread

http://www.multiupload.com/B51CDRQ5JN

Focus.exe

MD5: 3fd465d795a931dfb622314eedea24c4

SHA1: 359e7139a6a018d6f3019fdf33c6b5686231a28f

Size: 378352524

Again, in the Chinese thread sidicious posted there are 3 Samsung Focus roms. I downloaded the other two:

The original UCKC3, posted in the first post

A modified UCKC3 with 7004 (!) that I posted earlier

And the one I just posted, which seems to be the DEMO rom.

Use them on your own risk.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Guys, chill :) Thank you both for your thoughts.

I can relate to what both of you say. However the point was to get a working rom and to understand why there is an apparent lack of interest.

Just to let you know: I might have found a way to get a ROM in the Focus (besides what has been talked here already). This is very generic and should actually work with all phones. This is for those who don't believe it can be done. I am looking at other ways to do it but for now I'll focus on this.

The whole reason is not to start cooking stuff. Not for me. Let me be clear on that. I live in EU and I have a Focus. Now, if something goes wrong with it and I need to flash it, what do I do? I bought it from eBay so I won't be sending it to AT&T. Catch my drift?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
This is exactly my situation, except my device has been acting up. I already contacted samsung, in the beginning. Guess what they told me. My phone is no longer covered under warranty. I asked them to see if the IMEI was clean. As it turns out, it is not stolen. I have every reason to want to push a rom to this device, whether it be stock, or custom. I have heard enough negativity when it comes to the focus because of all the fools with demo roms running around trying to find a solution, and cross posting and all of that. So when it comes to frustration over the focus, I understand where people are coming from, but it does not help me find my solution. You wouldnt mind pm'ing me with your most current rom pushing idea would you, since you decided not to share it in the thread yet?

EDIT: This addition is for everyone who tries to say you can get any phone you buy replaced by the warranty if its defective and not stolen.... "This warranty is confined to the first purchaser of the product only. " the first criteria is that you be the person who initially purchased the phone, so everyone having issues with a second hand purchased phone is screwed, unless a working rom is forged.

Same here bought from eBay. Issue started after nodo. Please please please share ur findings with us at least it will give us some hopes. I really love the WP 7 OS.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Hi guys, I need to test this first and I'm gonna do this tonight after work.

So before I lit up any other spirits, it might not work. I don't want to get your hopes up for nothing.

I will let you know tonight and I will share the details, whatever my findings are, good or bad. Because that's why we're here and because someone else might get an idea how to make it work if I can't.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] iamjonso:
This one contains a dummy windows live account, and seems to be the custom AT&T Store Demo ROM.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
I even tried to load the so-called custom edited demo rom, and it wouldnt load for the same reason the original one attached to the first post of this thread.

After checking the files sizes of the temp files in the demo rom deployer, and matching them to the so-called custom demo rom, i have to say, it is likely it is just the demo rom, no customization... just all the files renamed to work with the deployer that the original rom came with.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO FORCE THIS ROM.
