I'm quite new to all this rooting, but wouldn't it be possible to use other rooting methods e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 to root the Desire S?

I've also come across Unrevoked - . Is there any way to contact those developers to request if they can look into enabling it for the Desire S?

Hi,

I have had different Custom Roms on my Samsung Galaxy s i9000!!

Now I have the ultimate rom on it but I want to go back to the samsung Stock rom, because I want to sell my phone!!!

But how can I get back to my Stock????

I dont have any backup!!!

Any idea or help?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
no need any backup, if you remember the build number of the rom then you can download it at samfirmware.com all SGS roms are there for download

or just tell me the build number and will give you the link

sample for build number : DXJG4 or XXJPM or ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laessig1703:
I don`t remeber the build number...I just know that it was andorid 2.2.1!!

Do you have any instruction how I get the stock installed on my phone? Is it the the same way like wit the custom roms or an other?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
these are not custom roms they are stock rom, you can flash them by Odin go to samfirmware.com and choose your rom base on the area you live (there is a guide for decoding the build number for the locale and language) you can find tutorial for odin in xda forum

When I have the stock rom back on my phone, can I use Kies again or do I have to unroot it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Kies will probably be unable to match the stock rom with network providers firmware . In which case you need to spoof the firmware update .

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
I'd pick up a Galaxy S II personally, I am fairly sure it's coming to T-mobile, Verizon, and AT&T so if you have T-mo or Verizon I'd recommend that.

It really out classes the Atrix from top to bottom, the only thing it lacks are docks (worthless anyway), qHD (But the sAMOLED screen more than makes up for it) and Tegra 2..although Tegra 2 is actually quite limited compared to the Galaxy II's chipset.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesglbrt:
Why so many AT&T haters? I've been with them since it was Cingular years ago and I don't see any issues that people don't have with other providers. I think we are all looking for perfect world scenarios and we just aren't quite there yet. As for the Atrix, love mine!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I was with t-mobile till February 2011 and was sick of them because of the ****ty reception in San Diego in the area I live in. It was supposed to be "4G" but I was constantly on EDGE. I had friends on AT&T and they had great reception and on 3G faster or similar speeds as me on T-mobile with "4G". I switched and I am happy so far.

Try to find out if you have good reception in the area that you need it in (ask friends on AT&T etc.). T-mobile and AT&T can be quite spotty in coverage and reception.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
Verizon = Faster network (Only carrier with substantial LTE rollout already), larger coverage map, and unlimited data plans.

AT&T = Slower network, no LTE for at least another year, 2 years for smaller markets, capped data plans.

The choice is simple.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
The battery life is amazing. But as always, it will also depend on your personal usage of the phone. If you are running speedtests all day then the battery life will be crap, for example.

the 3G will entirely depend on AT&T's network in your area. Look it up online and you should have a better gauge on how their network works in your area. Entirely subjective. In my area, it is amazing and I have no complains. It has been stable for me and the few times it "goes out" is when I am in the mountains or somewhere with weak cell signal anyways.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moondrius:
I just switched from Verizon to ATT about 3 weeks ago. The only thing that I miss is the amazing data speeds on my thunderbolt. I have had no issues with ATT and the service is not that much different in my area. If they are alright in your area I don't see a reason not to go for it.

The Atrix is a great phone, compared to my thunderbolt there is no comparison. The battery on the atrix lasts around 4 times longer then the thunderbolt and is built a lot better. Its a lot faster as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dco717:
I have Verizon now but it cost 178 for two phones and if I switch to at&t it will be 131.98 or T-Mobile it would be 139

Hi fellows,

I searched a while but could not find a solution for my problem...

I am using a HTC HD2 branded and "locked" by T-Mobile Germany.

Using my S/N I can not download original HTC-ROMs.

So my only option is using TMO-Roms from their website... :-/

I want to install NAND-Version of Android because WinMo is so embarassing. Especially the "Marketplace" is really NOT good... -.-

I tried to follow the manuals on your pages, but I can not find a hint for my problem...

Do I have to "break" anything to get any other Rom running?

I found sth. called "GoldCard" but... oh my god... Very complicated!

I hope you guys can help me.

It would be awesome.

Thanks a lot!

you will want to change radio first as things needed for android require high version radios. Go for 2.15.50.x radio.

If your current winmo rom is version 3.14 you wont need to change radio.

[Milestone XT720 General] wilsonlai12:
Sorry for being silly,could anyone tell me whether there will be any android 2.3 rom for xt720 someday later and why? Still,i am happy using my xt720 with dexter's froyo and trying out roms from different developers,thank you for all your efforts
[Milestone XT720 General] c0mpufreak:
Guess that its pretty unplausible. There would have to be some xt720 2.3 rom from which could be copied.since there isnt its sadly pretty unprobable
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think it's more that none of the active XT720 developers have the time or knowledge to do it yet. The Milestone 1 has 2.3-based ROMs without an official 2.3 release, but they are all built from source. I don't think anyone has a working 2.1 or 2.2 ROM built from source yet for the XT720 (although stlifey is very close to a fully working source build of CM6 for the XT701 so keep an eye on him). Once someone figures source builds for XT720 out, progress will be much quicker.
[Milestone XT720 General] wilsonlai12:
I c,thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
So 2.3 and beyond is technically feasible even with the locked bootloader - we just need our devs to have more experience?
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
Keep in mind that even though we are using froyo right now, the kernel is still an "eclair" kernel. We need one of two things, either Motorola unlocks the bootloader, or we find a newer kernel that will work with our ROMs. Neither are very likely at this point.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Well, we don't know what the hardware requirements for beyond 2.3 will be, but otherwise I would agree. I see no reason that a 2.3 port using source would be impossible, esp. since Milestone A853 which has very similar hardware has done it already. Milestone A853 has exactly the same locked bootloader situation and uses 2nd-init. At this point the only things we can't replace are the kernel* and the partition tables. There are a few of us working on it and there are others (esp. in asian dev forums). I may not be the first--it's still beyond my skill set at the moment but I'm learning a lot from stlifey's XT701 and nadlabak's A853 ports.

*technically we can use our own kernels, but it's impractical (requires manual boot while plugged into a computer via USB)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I'm pretty optimistic the kernel can be worked around, but you're right. There's no guarantees that the kernel we have has all of the features that might be required in the future. But I think the CM7 for Milestone runs using either the eclair or froyo kernels (with the eclair kernel considered the most stable the last time I checked).
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I would love it if someone would figure out a 2.6.32 kernel, even if it is only fastboot. I would just like to see if it changes anything for us at all.

[Acer Iconia A500] goalweiser:
I'm still entertaining picking this up instead of the Asus Transformer but I saw two things recently on a video that discouraged me.

1) Local HD Video

I've heard MoboPlayer can tackle most formats so that helps a bit, but what is HD playback like on the device? Does it stutter? Does it have a hard time playing anything 720P or perhaps just 1080P.

For some reason, the lady had a really hard time playing 1080P on this thing.

2) Clear.Fi

I haven't seen a review that actually covered this feature. This is so important to me. I sold my iPad because I wasn't happy with it. I loved Cydia and having XBMC on it though because I could pretty much watch anything.

I was hoping Clear.Fi was going to make me forget about XBMC but I haven't seen any videos on Youtube or heard people discuss Clear.Fi too well.

What's your experience been like? Do you have problems streaming specific types of files? Does it convert on the fly or does it only stream specific file types?
[Acer Iconia A500] BigRD:
I'm still considering buying the A500, one of the points I had noticed was a statement from Acer that 1080p playback on the device will be available via a future update. If I recall it's due June/July
[Acer Iconia A500] goalweiser:
Thanks. I appreciate the heads up.
[Acer Iconia A500] cmdpapichulo:
to OP.....Yes no one has touched base on the clear.fi features but from my experience just mp4 files.......and it streams over your wifi network so there isn't any converting on the fly since it only plays mp4's but it will see avi's and wmv's but will not play it ....it says cannot play format unknown hopefully when rom developement progress may some how we would be able to watch other formats like video codec installs but it kinda sucks because all my vids need to be converted to work which is sad lol
[Acer Iconia A500] id10terrordfw:
Same here, and I am NOT coverting 3tb's of TV shows and movies. Not gonna happen.
[Acer Iconia A500] goalweiser:
Have you guys tried streaming with the help of a File Explorer and a video player like MoboPlayer.

I remember I was able to use the File Explorer on the Gtab to find videos on the network and then watch them with my choice of app.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Clear.fi is just a transport as far as I know. In essence, it's an app like upnp that sees shared compatible media across your network. It then allows you to use a media player on the device to view the file.

So for example, if you have Windows 7, media sharing enabled and put videos into your Windows 7 Video library, music in your Music library and Photos in your Pictures library, clear.fi will detect it all over your wifi network.

Because of this, I don't think it has any hard limits as far as what clear.fi will play as it depends 100% on what your tablet hardware and software will play. For now, that's just mp4s using a certain profile when it comes to videos. Some mkvs will play too as those are just wrappers. I've also seen a thread where someone has claimed to play some realplayer files I think. I myself have played mp4s that are smooth as silk in both 480 and 720p and I have had others that were extremely jerky. This has to do with profiles which I don't have the details on. I can tell you what I THINK it means, which is that mp4s come in several "parts" and that the newest one which compresses the most data is referred to as h264 which the device can't seem to play well at all. I converted a 720p movie and left everything in tact except for specifying the resolution needing to be up to 1280x800 and for it to be in MP4 format and it played flawlessly. I use a program called Freemake. I haven't attempted to convert any 1080p.

I have an intel quad core 6600 with 8GB of RAM and that took 40m so there's no way I'm converting my entire library however it's no problem converting a few movies and maybe a season or 2 of TV in prep to hit a roadtrip or do some sort of travel. I also have an Amazon Prime and Crunchyroll membership so I don't even really need to do any of this.

This isn't a brand limitation afaik, it is due to Honeycomb and Tegra 2. We know Tegra 2's hardware can support a myriad of formats, but we don't know if Nvidia has released a full Honeycomb dev kit yet and since Honeycomb isn't open like Froyo and GB, I'm not sure if it will be indicated on Nvidias site when it is released - for all we know it's already in the various tablet manuf. hands so we just have to be patient. So far the promises for updates in June by both Acer and Asus have me hoping that the 1080p upgrade is a sign of more supported formats and some fixes as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Yeah I've been having major problems getting HD files to play at all- converted 480p movie to mp4 had no problems, but can't get the same converter app to spit out a 720p to mp4 file except in mkv container format. Keeps insisting on 4:3 ratio on mp4 files. Once I get it figured out (if I do lol) I'll post the app & settings
[Acer Iconia A500] Magnesus:
Every Tegra2 device has problems with 1080p, 720p and anything encoded with h264 with main profile and high profile (so with almost any HD video out there). So it's a problem on A500 but also on Xoom, Trasnformer and other tablets too unfortunately.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Not every Tegra 2 device, every Tegra 2 device with Honeycomb.

Tegra 2 has been out since last year and a number of the ones shipped with Android 2.2 don't have an issue playing HD video in any format. For example, this is what the GTablet by Viewsonic supported:

S1080p H.264/H.263/ VC-1/MPEG-2/4/WMV9/DiVX 4/5 Video Decode

1080p H.264/MPEG-4 Video Encode

Supports multi-standard audio formats, including AAC, AMR, WMA, and MP3

Mind you, I don't know if the native resolution has anything to do with it as that has a 1024x600 resolution, I do know that it played 95% more files than my Iconia does.
[Acer Iconia A500] flipswitch:
Do you reckon the stuttering will be fixed with an update, and when do they usually come out?
[Acer Iconia A500] b1urr:
I have been doing this to help stream content and it works like a charm.

1. Download UPNPlay from the market

2. Download Rock player from their web site (the one optimized for the tegra 2)

UPNPlay detects your server and will allow you to browse your contents and will play the video with Rock player. since Rock player supports a slew of codecs you should never have a problem playing anything. I even threw a .OGG file at it and the tablet played it with no problem. Also note that the quality (lag) of streaming HD content depends primarily on your home network.

The Clear.fi app sucks...

Enjoy streaming your content.
[Acer Iconia A500] goalweiser:
Thanks man. You saved me $5. I was about to buy PLEX because that would take care of most format issues but I'll try this first. Appreciate it!!!

* Just tried it. Worked like a charm. I enjoy being able to pick from all the video players I've got installed but everything on my server is playing easily! Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] shep211:
You still cant play mkv h.264 right? From what I have read on xoom and gtab forum its a hardware issue and not software.
[Acer Iconia A500] b1urr:
Yeah I play mkv with no problem using this method. The problem is with honeycomb not with the hardware. Try it out and let me know if it works. Its been working for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] id10terrordfw:
I would agree on clear.fi sucking. I've been using Skifta with the standard WMP12 media sharing in W7 and it works great.
[Acer Iconia A500] shep211:
Its a hardware issue and every tegra 2 device has this issue. You source is not hd 720p if you can play it. Tegra 2 can only play substandard H.264 baseline profile videos and its still choppy. Most people are using MPEG4 to get reliable play back with tegra 2. Read any of the xoom & Toshiba tab forums.
