[HTC Incredible S] carl1961:
you can use windows to get rom.zip and use 7-zip to extract it, the other unzippers complain.

click on RUU.exe file to start, check the box and click next, do not click any more windows, just drag the window to the side, Go to your temp folder ( type %temp% in the explorer bar then press enter to take you there)

and look in the temp files ( mine was under "{9DC5473A-4450-4557-9B1C-9BBDED70B45F}"

You will find the ROM.zip, copy it to a area on your computer to work with, use 7- zip to extract, the use ext2explore to extract the system file ( if you need to work on them)

I'm still trying to learn how to open the other *.img files

Hi,

I have HTC Magic Vodafone UK version (32b) . A month ago I wanted to install a ROM which required a higher version of radio, and I bricked it :(

I had it repaired in a shop, but it seems that the guys put the wrong radio. This is what I get in fastboot:

Now I have 3.22 radio (which is only for Magic 32a). The problem now is that I cannot install 32b ROMs because of the radio, and 32a ROMs are also not working (or maybe I am doing sth wrong). The only ROM which is working currently for me is VOdafone 2.2.1 32a.

So, my question is: which ROMs should I be installing now - 32a or 32b?? Should I maybe go again with radio change, and go back to the old one (which is a risky process)

Thanks!

Thread moved to General.

Please pay attention where you post your threads next time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
Sorry, will pay attention in the future ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
The good thing is, that you have eng spl..

So you have total control over the device,,,

You can flash anything you want..

Just flash a different radio and you should be set :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
Hey mumilover,

Thanks for the reply. ;)

The thing is that I've already bricked it once when tried to change the radio, so now I'm afraid to do it again :D and thus trying to find some alternative :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Download my fastboot commander from my signature.

Download this radio: https://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img

Flash it.

Download this recovery: http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Flash it.

Reboot into recovery and flash whatever rom you like :0)

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
When I was reading about flashing radios, I remembered pretty long and complicated procedure (downgrade android, wipe, etc.) Is it with your fastboot commander that easy???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
I got more than 5000+ users....

:0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
OK, I'll give it a try...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
Hey, I have just given it a try, but it won't flash the radio. I get the Fastboot connection (it says "Fastboot USB" on the phone screen), but in your app it says that "PRINT OF DEVICE INFO FAILURE - PLEASE CHECK YOUR CONNECTION.

No fastboot device connected."

Any idea what the problem might be?

By the way, I have been using regular fastboot for quite some time, and it was always working flawlessly with my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] askrulous:
Seems like its the connection to me, even with s-on on my phone it I still get the device info print off
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Which OS do you use?

If normal fastboot commands works, then this tool SHOULD work :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
I am using Windows XP (32 bit), and I have used regular fastboot at least 10 times on it to install different roms and stuff...

OK, I'll try again...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
Aaaand, I tried again and it's not working again... same message... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ExDr:
Hi!

Thanx God I've found the proper topic )

Unfortunately phone that seems to be 32b based was bricked today.

Hboot view looked the same as in the first post:

SAPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP*****)

CPLD-10

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03

I adviced owner to flash 2708 radio and SPL 1.33.0013d from recovery.

After flashing of radio phone became a brick...

Hope guy will manage to unbrick it, but the question is what to do further.

Is it safety to flash radio/spl using your soft of it would be better to use fastboot method described here (I mean Revert to 32B Radio)?

And is radio 2.22.19.26I what we really need?

Which SPL should be flashed after to escape bricking?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Keep the spl...

flash the 2.22.19.26I radio and G recovery from my tool or fastboot.

Then you should be all ok...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ExDr:
Ok, I see. Do you think engineering 1.33.0010 should remain untouched?

But how to flash new 1.33.0013d which is required for many roms with appropriate kernels?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
P. S. I've tried your tool on another computer, and still can't get a connection to my HTC Magic :(((
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
It finally worked!!!

Well, nobody told me that I needed to install this HTC Sync software... :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Kurt2:
OK, so I finally installed 2.22.19 radio, but for this ROM I need 2.22.23 and Death SPL. Is it safe to install those using your tool???

Again, thanks for your time!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] askrulous:
Do you mean the 2.22.27.08 radio and spl 1.33.0013d, only I have exactly the same 32b as yours and flashed exactly the same radio/spl and it was fine....now running ginger yoshi 7 very nicely on it.

'Well, nobody told me that I needed to install this HTC Sync software'

Thats interesting....I wasn't aware it was needed either, but I probably had it lying around somewhere on my pc already, hence the commander working for me first time!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ExDr:
What recovery have being used during flashing? For 32b or 32a?

I have an idea it could be the reason...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yurais:
am looking for a way to diowngrade a 3.2 RADIO to 2.22, the link you provided years ago is no longer working

can you reupload it if you atill have it?

I have tried WM6.5 and Andriod and returned back to WP7.

Whenever I find a missing function in WP7, I Flash a different OS but then within a day or two I am back to WP7.

Is WP7 Is an addictive OS ?

Do you share my feelings toward WP7 ?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] soccer362001:
I've been through several roms on my hd2, WinMo 6.5, 6.5.*, Android, WP7.... Currently running an android rom and I hate it. WP7 was so much more user friendly. Sure android has more apps, but I hate having to sift through several menus to change settings. WP7 is clean and simple. Will probably move back to WP7 once a good NoDo or Mango rom is available.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hungry81:
Its called customising. WP7 is BOOOOOOOORING. Put the settings on your homescreen or find widgets that do the job of the settings you like to change. Its not difficult. Android much more interesting than WP7. Hell, WM6.5 is much more interesting than WP7. I just suppose if you like being told what to do WP7 is for you, whereas if you like to control what you are doing (and the device you own) android is for you. WP7 is boring and not at all addictive at all to me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
I wouldn't quite say WP7 is additive...it's more usable and stable than WM6.5.5 for the HD2 for certain!!!

If you don't like WP7 what the hell are you doing here posting your bull? This is, after all, the WP7 forum and not the Android nor WM6.5 forum.

As for your info, I've spent way too much time fooling around with WM6.5 on the HD2 "customizing", yet never able to get a stable OS nor get anything done on my phone due to it's laggard performance. Go and stay with your Android or WM...keep out of the WP7 forums and leave it to us who enjoy finally being able to use our phones the way it was meant to be used!!!!! You can just stay "down under mate"!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] argentocruz:
Addictive, yes... But I don't know why...

When I initially saw some youtube vids on wp7 I thought "YUK", how bloody boring and drab... But I've found the simplicity, usability and speed to be what attracts me...

I'll persevere with a shonky wp7 till the end of the year when my contract runs out and I go for a fully fledged wp7 phone...

I'm looking at the LG Optimus 7Q cause I miss my slide out qwerty, but I hope HTC has something similar by then...

Till then its HD2 + WP7 = Win! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mrxkills:
I personally like and prefer android why because it has more to offer meaning apps,support,development,features and customization is off the charts!..now ive had my fun with windows 6.5 and im so glad cotulla and the guys where able to unlock the NAND for us and deliver these excellent OS's WindowsPhone7 right off the box was beautiful looking but it does honestly get boring aside from the fact that microsoft decided not include key features that would have made this OS awesome out of the ass lol..such as Multitasking which is something that is essential,a more open sdk/relationship with devs to bring more apps which equals appeal we are living in a time where APPS are what sell the phone basically or maybe thats just what i think..copy and paste feature this is another key thing..that microsoft decided to put off for an unknown reason which im kinda at a lost to understanding, theyre own proprietary software to load music as if we dont live in a fast paced life..not all people have Zune in their PCs i mean this OS is new we cant say much till later maybe in the near future all this will be fixed but many features that were offered in 6.5 were ignored completely only to be put back in later "revisions" Donut/Mango, Sure WP7 has a eye candy catch to it but at the end of the day can you really ask yourself, Does it deliver what we the end user needs?..in my opinion no. as for now ill stay Android
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] THUDUK:
I agree that wp7 has got an addictive pull, I have done a similar thing, one day I will have wp7 only on my hd2, then I think nope I miss windows mobile and revert back to that, then after a day or so, I am convinced the only way to go is Android so nand flash that, then a few days later am back to wp7 believing this is the perfect operating system, only to be starting the while loop again.

My thoughts are we are spoilt for choice with the hd2, because it can run all these operating systems so very well.

My perfect setup, well for the next few days is wp7 with android on sd dual booting.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hungry81:
Hey genius, This may be a WP7 section But it is located within the HD2 Subforums. And the funny thing is I happen to have a HD2. I have looked at WP7 and I maintain that I find it BORING. Im sorry you came here expecting everyone to agree with your BORING point of view, but everyone is Different and the OP has expressly asked for peoples opinions, and not requested that only Microsoft fanbois post their banal opinions in this thread. So I will go on enjoying WM 6.5 and Android over WP7 and you can continue enjoy BORING things. Now rage away "mate."
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Richy99:
ive tried wp7 and tbh i wasnt that impressed with it, yes it is fast but i didnt like the feel of it and the layout
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] shafez:
I totally Agree with you and I also don't know why WP7 is addictive :)

It was not my intension to cause a fight in this thread, People vary in their likes and dislikes.

All three OS are great, and as THUDUK said, we are spoilt as HD2 can run the three OS well.

All I wanted is to see if other people share my feeelings toward WP7.

At the end thank you all for your opinions , we will continue to to have different opinions about everything in live otherwise companies will close down as people prefer only one product :)

Best regards
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
Most addictive, slickest, & cleanest OS, I've ever used! Also the most stable on my HD2. Love it! MUCH better than Android or winmo imo.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] xcen_xda:
I like WP7...

But apps are really slow in loading, scrolling is choppy and slow... (Just look at Facebook app and BoardExpress, other apps are the same but I forgot them because I've been using NANDroid permanently for a few months now.)

And there are a few important apps that are missing in WP7, namely GPS Navigation for my country, Malaysia.

If these issues are ironed out, I would be more than happy to switch to WP7 full time because the UI is just awesome!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
I mean, the transformer is coming out with a dock at the same price everywhere.

Don't you think that gtab10.1 sales are doomed unless samsung comes up with a keyboard dock like the transformer one ?

I fear that when asus will start their ad campains people will only retain "ANDROID tablet = also a laptop" in their heads. I feel for samsung if the gtab 10.1 fails again like the original galaxytab because of simply that.

Especially after the charming overhaul of the design. An aluminium keyboard dock with usb/hdmi and sd ports in it would be kick ass even if it's sold 200$.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aaksheytalwar:
It isn't worth it at $200.

The 64gb 3g version will cost around MSRP $800 plus another $200 for the kb makes it a $1000 investment.

Compared to $700-800 for Asus with keyboard and 64gb 3g and everything the same plus usb port, makes it in favor of the Asus.

Samsung will fail if the keyboard crosses $100, at least on that front.

Asus kb is for $125 in Taiwan and 60 pounds in UK and about 60 or so euros in Europe. Only US is expensive with $100-150.

And they need to come up with a wireless keyboard and I am sure they will!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bcmobile:
Not at all. I personally don't think the Asus Transformer will only appeal to a very narrow demographic. While it is a great piece of hardware, it is far too "geeky" for the average consumer.

Samsung is already a mainstream brand having sold zillions of TVs and other home appliances over many years.

The Tab also has a more sleek design which has the potential to sway many would-be iPad buyers.

Also, I wouldn't say the original Tab was a failure. It might not have made mega bucks for Samsung but it had a big impact on the Android tablet market as a whole. It made people sit up and take notice of the future potential of Android as an alternative to the iPad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Exactly what makes the Transformer geeky?

I feel as if the Transformer should have came with the keyboard... not bought separately. I thought that was the entire point of buying the thing. And no, I don't believe ASUS's giant-bezel tablet will hurt the Tabs. Samsung is an advertising behemoth with brand recognition and lovely hardware design. Also don't forget about TouchWiz, they've made Honeycomb's Tron esque look much more colorful and less

dark, which believe it or not people will adore.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] htowngator:
Transformer is going to be heavy and thick. I doubt the thinner, lighter Tab will have a problem other than competing price point.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Not all people would like the dock :D

Me, for example. I don't like it at all.

I prefer thin and light device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
No dock for me either. The 10.1 is perfect
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I'll definitely be getting the tab whether or not a dock is released. I don't think I'd use a dock that much but if they do release a dock for a fair price then I may consider it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
Dunno but the gtab10.1 is only about 70grams lighter and 4mm thinner than the transformer (and that's at the transformer's fattest point, since it's a curved back the transformer on the sides is pretty much as thin as the gtab).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
I don’t want a dock, don’t need a keyboard just a thin/light device which is what the 10.1 is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
Even as a desk dock the transformer keyboard owns everything.

Also, when I read people saying "just want a light & thin device" I wonder if you ever even tried to watch a several minute long video while holding a tablet in front of you. Good luck with "light" lol, I don't think light comes off as an argument preventing usage exhaustion unless it's something like a 300g tablet or less.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Yet, I'm guessing that docks like the Atrix Dock and the transformer dock will become common. So if there will be one for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, why not get that so you can have a THIN laptop/tablet thing?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bcmobile:
I agree. If Samsung release a keyboard dock (which is more than likely since the 7" Tab had one), then it owns the Transformer hands down.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
It seems ASUS has accomplished their goal. They adding a nice little gimmick that makes people consider their tablet over the competitors. Then again... it is just a dock. Any manufacture can make one. Even little third-party companies make them~

Or if you don't mind, you could buy a lovely bluetooth keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
Yea but samsung third party accessories are slow as hell to come out, and the official ones are expensive (100+$ for just a former gtab keyboard dock station with no extra battery!!), and the gtab dock will never have an extra 8hour battery in it like the transformer does :( Frankly the only thing holding me on the transformer is the PLS screen and black&chrome design of the gtab, I don't like much the copper color of the transformer but with it's dock in the reviews its rather sexy.

I guess I'll just buy the transformer now and give it to my girlfriend to get a gtab once some good dock with hdmi and usb ports (big minus there on gtab) will be available. The gtab official bookcover looks wicked tho http://www.tabletdigger.com/gt/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/bookcover.jpg
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sackofnoise:
Also, it is okay to wait for a gtab dock but the transformer actually have a KEYBOARD dock... pretty different from normal dock and the battery... samsung never gonna get something close to that (mean price wise, etc) and perfect if the transformer only get in the hands of "geeks" so that way all developpers, etc will make awesome apps/dev for this device :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
I have a transformer on order. But I don't really care about the keyboard. I could see the appeal if someone were buying this as their only device, or maybe even their only portable device. But I have a notebook if I need to use a keyboard. If it were $50, I might buy it, but not at $120+, because I'm mostly interested in the tablet functionality. Honestly, I'd prefer the better screen and slimmer design of the Samsung, but the Samsung is 25% more expensive. I just don't think it's wise to pay much of a premium at this stage of the tablet market. There will likely be something twice as good for similar $$ next year. In the mean time, I'll either figure out I didn't really need a tablet after all, or I'll like it, and get something better when the options go up and the prices come down.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
IMHO, a KB dock alone isn't going to own a TF101. It needs to have USB ports, SDHC/SDXC slot or more to own a TF101.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Your overestimating the masses. People go gaga for slim devices, IMO it's a total scam. I know so many people swho bought the iPad2 because it was thin. You can bet that Sammy will advertise the HELL out of the fact that it's thinner than the iPad2
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I returned my Transformer and am waiting for the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

One of the pros for the Transformer is the docking station and it's really sweet how well it seems to work together.

But I have a few small complaints about the Transformer and the Galaxy Tab has a few of it's own pros, that I think the Galaxy Tab will do very well.

First with the Transformer.

The speakers kinda suck and aren't positioned very well. Not sure of the sound quality on the Galaxy Tab speakers, but I can't imagine it would be worse and I like the positioning better.

The Transformer's back get warm and the textured plastic doesn't offer much grip when your hand starts getting a little moist. It appears the Galaxy Tab will have a better no slip back.

The glass on the Transformer is really thin and a little too flexible. I can see it bending without applying much pressure. Hoping the Galaxy Tab has better glass.

The bezel on the Transformer is too dang big. Sure the Xoom over did it by making their bezel too small, but ASUS went too far in the other direction. Galaxy Tab looks like the perfect middle.

The Transformer just feel a little on the cheap side after the iPad and Xoom tablets I owned. I won't know until I have it in my hand, but I get the impression the Galaxy Tab will have a firmer more quality feel to it.

The weight is really big. People see the 85 gram weight difference between the Transformer and Galaxy Tab and think it won't mean much. But 50 grams separated the Transformer from the Xoom and I really noticed that difference. I can only imagine the Galaxy Tab is going to feel like a feather compared to the Transformer.

Most of these things are small nit-picking. But enough of them have added up that I think I need to wait on the Galaxy Tab. The cool docking station just isn't enough. Though the lack of a micro SD slot is kinda chaffing me, but I think even that might not be enough to scare me away from the Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mystombox:
With or without keyboard is not a dealbreaker to me.

Because if I needed a keyboard, I'd have brought my netbook out.

Although it will come in very useful in typing emails, that is the only reason though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrHD2:
Galaxy is doomed unless they lower the price, just look at the xoom, motorola sold 100,000's and not millions as predicted, how many people saw reviews then the price and thought 'no way' :eek:i know i did.

The thing about the transformer is you can buy it with the dock or without, and with the dock it's still cheaper than the tab.

The Tab 7' was a great device, and they're more popular than ever now because they are now 35 percent cheaper than when originally released.

When people see the spec in-store they're going to see 'Honeycomb' '10' Android tablet' and a $150 or £150 price difference, they're not going to worry about 4mm in thickness, or 70g in weight.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
I agree, Sammy would be smart to advertise that & they have been IIRC. But, you misunderstood me, I was just talking about the dock accessory.

This bugs me the most about the TF101. The speaker placement is just wrong. My hands tend to cover them most of the time when holding it or playing games.

I agree again. Price will be a big factor. If they pull a Moto Xoom would probably hurt their sales compared to being within the price range of the iPad2, Acer & TF101.
