[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Hi folks,

Unfortunately, it didn't work. But I'm not giving up. There might still be a way this can be forced to work.

I tested this with 2 LG Optimus 7 phones.

Here's what I've been trying to do:

As everyone knows, in Windows 7 in the folder

"C:\Users\%User%\Local Settings\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\"

lies the last update that can be used to restore the phone, in another folder with the structure:

AAAAAAAA - BBBBBBBB - CCCCCCCC - DDDDDDDD

and in it

\Properties\Properties.xml

\RestorePoint\ActiveId.dat

\RestorePoint\11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555\Data\Manifest.xml

\RestorePoint\11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555\Data\Data0.dat

... upto DataN.dat where N is a certain number, depending how large your update was (eg: 125, 218, etc)

AA,BB,CC,11 etc are actually numbers unique for your phone. Probably generated from the serial number or IMEI.

I have double checked and the update can be actually moved from one comp to another, so you can move it from work to home or the other way around.

The Manifest.xml file contains information about the update in the following format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ResorePoint>

<Properties>

<OSVersion>07.00.07004.00-00000</OSVersion>

<DeviceId>AAAAAAAA - BBBBBBBB - CCCCCCCC - DDDDDDDD</DeviceId>

<Version>1.0</Version>

<CreationDate>2011.1.1.11.1.11.11.11.</CreationDate>

</Properties>

<Data Count="125">

<File>

<Name>Data.1.dat</Name>

<DibrVersion>196608</DibrVersion>

<Size>4194328</Size>

<ObjectIndex>1</ObjectIndex>

</File>

<File>

Note the <Data count> value in this case is 125

This means the update has Data0.dat,Data1.dat,Data2.dat.... upto Data124.dat

What I tried is use a friend's update with my phone, by altering the <Data Count> number and also the sizes of Data0.dat and DataN.dat files (first and last) which differs from phone to phone. Also replace my Data.dat files with his.

Zune sees this altered update, and allows restore. I tried to restore, with the risk of breaking my own phone. It reboots the phone and gets to Step 3: Restoring your phone. Shows 0% and then immediately reboots the phone and after a bit it shows this:

Evidently, the update is encrypted and there's a verification somewhere.

Now, there are 2 ways to bypass this, which I am pursuing now, but will take time:

1. Patch Zune to accept the forged update.

2. Reverse Zune update process and get the code to do that + the decrypted update (rom)

1 is easier to do, but 2 is what will help us understand what is flashed through Zune. I will concentrate on 1 for now.

If this method worked directly, it could be applied to any phone.

Now, in the meantime my ask is this:

If anyone has a Focus and is willing to do a clean restore image:

- Reset the phone (so all personal info is lost)

- Update the phone in Zune

- Archive the update located in "C:\Users\%User%\Local Settings\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\" and share this here.

- Restore back (or keep it).

This way we would get a "clean" Focus restore, that could be used later.

Feedback, ideas are welcome.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] TOA Duck:
Brilliant!:p
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
Feedback: In my limited opinion, we would have a better shot if we tried to use ollydebug, or hex editing to over-write the md5's that the demo-rom's loader checks for, that way we could push the rom with software we know was meant to push a rom to the samsung focus. I'm actually currently working on it, but if someone with more patching experience wants to jump on board, they are more than welcome.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] cmmsex1i:
It's good to see the members back again in action with their ideas and testing in this thread.

Thanks a million.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
Listen guy, I hate to always be the one breakin your balls.... but the admin already cleaned up this thread due to needless posts like that... he said use the thanks button, you have learned to do that, now please just try to only add something if its contributing to solving the topic at hand, which seems to be either forcing the rom attached to the first post, or pushing backup data from one focus to another.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
No worries, I can use more than Olly :) I've just been caught up with work, but I'll be looking this weekend.

About patching, it's not simple, but good luck. The loader does more than just verify the crc of the block it loads. The process is fairly complicated it's not straightforward write. There are different types of memory, different areas that are written differently (I think - gotta dig yet).

Then, it's not the loader you need to patch, it's the flash program, that loads the different parts to be written.

I'm not good with memory types on phones but there's always time to learn, and I have the weekend for it.

Anyone willing to share the clean Focus backup I asked earlier? Come on, donate bits for a good cause, it doesn't cost you a cent :)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
I have been trying to hotswap this threads rom files with the demo roms tmp files... also wanted to add, the md5 checksum on the so called modified uckc3 rom is actually just the demo rom, md5 match proof.

So heres what I think ought to be done: the "Focus.exe" one click rom loader for the focus saves its rom files, all with .tmp extensions, in the C:\Documents and Settings\current_user\Local Settings\Temp\

This should be the file we modify, to either ignore the md5 checksum, or alter the focus.exe md5 list, that it checks for, so that it matches the original posts attached rom.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
EnderPSP, I dont know what youre up to, but I have been planning on purchasing a broken screen focus on ebay, to make a backup of the rom on it. Hopefully we will have some luck forcing its backup onto other devices, ill keep this thread updated.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
I tried to do that, buy a broken screen Focus, but it turned out to be a little too expensive for me. I'm based in EU and not many US sellers ship to EU. Also, keep in mind to ask if the phone has been updated before you buy, you wouldn't want an updated one.

I'm still working on what I said: Patch Zune to accept forged updates. It's a lot of work, much more than I anticipated, but I'll keep at it. Will detail once I have a real breakthrough. However work has been a little slow as I've been kinda swamped at work.

I'll have a look this weekend at your idea. Btw, all installers do that, NSIS and almost all setups save the files in TEMP. The flasher cares about one thing: the rom to be valid. It has the CRC of that somewhere, it checks for it and then proceeds. That's the theory, I'll see this weekend.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
every installer i have seen checks for an md5 hash, i honestly think changing the hash its looking for, for the rom files would be the easiest route. You can try to patch zune but thats going to be much harder than patching firmware pushing software by itself.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] tussi1:
hy I am from Austria ............. I've tried this rom does not work ..... no idea why I always get some message that sucks .......
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
its a developer rom, so not all samsung focus's will work with it, this is why we keep talking about forcing roms and modifying rom/zune software.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Kebero:
I've wanted to try this on my Rev 1.4 Focus, but the start button remains grayed out.

Sent from my SGH-i917. using Board Express
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sidicious:
Oh lawd, kebero, if you could make a backup of your phone with the UpdateWP.exe method spoke of in this thread, and share it with us. We are trying to develop anything that can be pushed to this device, as there is no support, and most phones will not accept this firmware as is, in my opinion because the software that is suppose to push it is not correct.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Anyone who flashed the AT&T rom and updated to Mango beta, did you notice a message "Not for Resale" (when the Windows Phone logo appears) in red, the lower left corner of the screen?

Didn't have that before....

There's also a comment on WMPU (search "resale")

Yesterday whilst trying to restore the 2.3.2 rom with multi touch and overclock I formatted system, cache and data. My phone now gets to the sony ericsson part of booting and stays there. I cant use xRecovery. The battery is also flat, and I cant charge it. I have however managed to flash the baseband, but it still doesnt boot?
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
You have to reflash it completely using FlashTool.
[XPERIA X8 General] mattd123:
how do i do this?
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Just like you flash the baseband, but you need to flash the entire ROM ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] mattd123:
but i need a .ftf file? I cant flash a rom without turning on the phone and enabling usb debugging?
[XPERIA X8 General] hbali:
NEVER format the system...
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
As I said - just like you flashed baseband. And you didn't have to turn on your phone for that, did you?
[XPERIA X8 General] mattd123:
i flashed it by putting it into flash mode...you cant flash roms like this i believe?
[XPERIA X8 General] mattd123:
so my phone is ****ed?
[XPERIA X8 General] CM-PRo:
Just repair it using SEUS.

Anyone use Google SMS in which you can get very quick very targeted search results to short queries by sending a text to 46645 or 466453 (GOOGL or GOOGLE)? I like this simple feature a lot and have used it for years. Now on my fancy new Tbolt I can send these messages but I never get a reply. VZW have changed their story on who is to blame and what is being done. Even thought it very well might be their fault I've given up arguing with the bureaucrats over there... I've also seem some posts on this directly on Google Mobile forums but no resolutions.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster19:
Just wondering if the in ear headset that comes with the phone is any good?

It looked plain in the unboxing videos, so what's the sound like?

Could someone take a close up picture of theirs or link me to the exact headset?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggedy:
Compared to other out of the box headsets its one of the best ive had, decent bass, crisp. All the SE phones ive had have always come with a decent headset. I can only use the type that push into your ears so that was another plus.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster19:
Does it have a remote for changing songs and stuff or is it only a mic?

A link to the headset would be appreciated
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggedy:
No controls, thats the downside to it. Only a mic and call answer button. I use my liveview as the controls though
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster19:
Yeah I wanted to get liveview since there's no control.

Is it worth it? Any downsides to liveview?

I'd only use it for changing songs, messages and incoming calls. What you reckon?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk1:
Try Headset Button Controller Trial from android market

it allows you to 2 presses to skip track , 3 presses to go back etc.

long press to increase volume
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk1:
Swap my mm70 earbuds with the arc stock with a bit of soldering. Check out youtube.

Now i am happy with the headphone
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rome73:
I've tried my beats with controltalk with this phone and the sound is all garbled up.

Anyone else experience that with other headsets?

The ones that come stock are ok. but I miss my ability to control songs (fast forward, rewind, volume up/down) that I had with my iPhone 4.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laird_Attwood:
I've heard of a few people who complain of garbled sound with non SE headphones in Arc/Play.

I have been using beats dr dre tour on my Play with out an issue though. Seems very hit or miss on if they work or not.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherryfish:
That's really an awesome app. Works brilliant. I think you have to buy it, though. At least it started annoying me with some "your trial has expired" messages.

Stock earphones are quite good, though they look/feel really cheap. ^^

They look pretty much like SE MH710 on the pictures, but I'm not sure if they are the same.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk1:
The arc stupidly reverse the ground and mic wiring thats why other headsets dont work on it. Try to hold the mic button down you will get nice sound.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rome73:
Just tried that and you are right! How the heck do we fix that?

Is there something I can buy or a software hack that can fix it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
Wow! So THIS is why I haven't been able to use other headsets! That is very sneaky of SE.. I hope this is a software issue rather than intentional to force users to only buy SE headsets :mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
My old Android phone also had this problem so I do not think it is a SE issue...

(Motorola Backflip)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
It seems with the 2.3.3 update they don't even let you use these "incompatible" headsets, it just displays "Accessory not supported". :mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KP_:
I used samsung and motorola headsets with no problem.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyz86:
there HAS to be a fix for this! i cant stand the headset that comes with it, i hate those in ear noise cancelling things, make my ears feel weird! lol

but seriously, im having to use a normal pair of earphones with no control because of this issue, i have a liveview for controls but thats not always practical (dissconection issues/battery life/running the risk of smashing it to pieces when im skating!)

i have a set of iphone headphones i really wanted to use but because of this ****ty issue i cant. is there a way we could easily modify the headset and reverse the wiring in them ourselves?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refract:
We can use normal earphones ? If so, I'm not overly concerned.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyz86:
Yes anything with a regular 2 channel 3.5mm Jack (headphones/speakers) work fine. I would have taken the phone back if this problem effected normal jacks too as I plug my phone into car stereos and portable speakers, but I'm still pissed off I can't use anything with an inline remote
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomo100brt:
Why don't you use stereo bluetooth hedset MW600. 3.5 mm jack on them is compatible with all wired headphones unlike 3.5 mm jack on arc and portable speakers.

Hi Everybody

I wanted to put my phone on Finnish so i installed the official rom from the HTC website. Before i had an English Custom rom installed. I tried the installation now 3 times but the complete rom and sense interface stays completly in english. The device information in the settings says under rom version: 1.56.414.0 (43972) WWE i guess the WWE is what you dont really want to see if its supposed to be a FIN rom.

I had downloaded this file what i think isnt the problem: _HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_FIN_1.56.414.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe

The installation runs smooth without any errors. I installed from my windows machiene thru active sync

Can anybody help me or give me a hint what is going wrong here ?

Cheers,

I am currently using Elelinux 6.2.0 Speedmachine v2 ROM where there is an option to have the Bluetooth discoverable duration to be set to infinite. I need this option to have my BT car stereo (Pioneer DEH-P9800BT) connected and paired with my phone automatically whenever I am in the car.

I tried Elelinux 7.0.0 Hero v1.9 ROM but there is no such option hence my phone won’t connect automatically (I have to make it discoverable first) which is quite annoying.

Are there any other ROMs out there with an infinitely discovery option in the Bluetooth settings (preferably 2.3 ROMs)? Or is there an application available to achieve this?

Thanks for any help.

Hi there, this is kind of urgent.

I was on Darky's Rom 9.5 with Ficeto's Darkcore Kernel 1.4: now; wanted to switch to stock GB running JVB.

Downloaded Odin. Downloaded the XEE file, extracted all the files and mounted them on Odin in the respective fields (Pit (yes, I clicked repartition) / PDA / Phone / CSC).

Disabled lag fixes, wiped data and all, went into download mode, connected to the pc, odin said "added" and I clicked start.

This is the log:

However, Odin never started uploading! The bar never started anything..and my SGS is still at download mode.

What should I do?! Is it safe to disconnect the phone? Have I bricked my phone? Hope not!

Please refer to the attached screenshot.

I closed odin by mistake, then disconnected my sgs.

Hi again,

I have a strange problem with my gps. It worked last week while I was using some CM7 nightly build, but then I updated to the last one and I never used it until this week. I posted on the CM7 forum thread and it seems that people do get a fix and signal with their gps. So I thought trying another rom around here, even a sense rom, and it still doens't want to work. Now I am seriously thinking that he might have just died, from the hardware point of view.

Anyone knows how can I be sure that it still works or not ? Is there any program on the market or any command on the terminal or some secret code that shows fault codes (as I sopose there is some kind of error if some hardware fails ?)

Thnak you.
