Run Froyo From SDCARD

I've got the firmware in the form of update.zip, so it must be flashed using recovery mode, and this just don't work, as my previous post, it said something missing/invalid about zsys.img, so I've converted it to the *.img form using ubuntu mtd-utils (basically it needs gzip, cpio, mkimage and mkyaffs2image), but as usual, updating/flashing system.img and userdata.img resultin FAILED....

Finally after a full of a week researching here and there, I've manage to hack the ramdisk.img to produce the exact problem, and here they are:

- dump the dmesg and /proc/mtd, resulting the actual RAM that's 256MB (ads says it's 512, however, after successfully running on SDCARD --more on this later, the system reporting it's actually 512MB of RAM), and the processor is X210.

- no NAND found! (cat /proc/mtd), so that's why we can't write the system.img/userdata.img, where to write? I've managed to get the original dump of kernel (mtdblock1), and via dmesg I could finally see the NAND partition. So, the most important here is the ORIGINAL kernel to identify the NAND partition (still dunno if it's actually sdcard or it's nand flash). Check the output of /proc/mtd, resulting the correct information of mtd0 - mtd7, but again, manual flashing to the mtd3 (system), still a no go...

- hacking the init.rc, I've managed to run Froyo via SDCARD! Somewhere in this forum someone has done it also...., by this method, we can update the system partition with any firmware release (tim, sol, official, whatever), just extract the firmware-discovery, and then extract the system.tar(.gz) into the system partition on SDCARD.

- I've tried to manually (from working froyo on SDCARD) mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 and extract/copy the system.img/system.tar.gz into it, and change the init.rc to mount it as /system, but still the tablet hang on ANDROID _ (or whatever screen animation logo), although when I checked via SDCARD, I actually see the partition is there with the complete structure of /system partition (no lost, and it actually written in the NAND system block).

- Tried different partition from NAND to handle the /cache, /data and /local and it's running, so confusing.... only the /system from NAND has the problem. So my last scheme is /system from mmcblk0p2 (SDCARD), and the others are from NAND (/data, /cache and /local). Maybe I need to flash_erase the NAND, but still didn't find a pre-compiled working file (flash_erase, flashcp, etc) to try. I've tried to cross compile the mtd-tools and copying to the sdcard, but when I run them, resulting segmentation fault(!), maybe need some libs or what...

- Although I can run froyo from SDCARD, I've got a random freeze/hang and had to (hard) reset, or an instant quit in the middle of running when I play some games or programs, maybe need to tweak some memory options, or it's something about SDCARD speed and quality. However, this is the best result I can get this time, at least it works, buddy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alexander_sciv:
The sequence of my problem was. There was the original firmware on the device: Firmware Froyo 2.2 v2.1 # 3925 downloader 0.6.1.5 (). Connect 3G modem failed. Reading the forums decided to flash the deb-r2.1.1623_update_zip, but in the recovery menu, exit failed. Device to respond only to the home center, and home at the top and press power. Found information that the modem is connected and the firmware 3245. Flashed through the cable. Hanging on android_. That is until this point I have repeatedly easily rolled away for 3925. Then put all the firmware on the queue, even managed to get recovery menu substitution ramdisk.img. But the firmware deb-r2.1.1623_update_zip well established with an error. I immediately thought of one feature. When the tablet was still alive, when you install Navitel, tested on multiple devices, this would not work. As it turned out the system at boot mounted sdcard, sdcard1 and sdcard2. At the same time on sdcart not create folders NavitelContent. I copied it from sdcart1 (top slot) and Navitel run. After rebooting, sdcard folder NavitelContent reinstall. I think maybe because of this feature when writing firmware sdcard.img it is not completely installed, and because of that all the problems?

[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
So on my phone the power/volume buttons have begun to sunk in, I have some pretty excessive light leakage from the buttons (By excessive I mean I can now see it in pretty much broad daylight) and now I just realized I have a dead pixel near the middle of the screen. Do you thing big V will warrant me a replacement?

(I believe I already know the answer but I know some people here work for Verizon and just wanted to know their opinions on the situation before taking my phone back to stock)
[Thunderbolt General] hinds73:
I had something similar happen to my Touch Pro back in the day. Yes, unless there is actually physical damage then they will replace it under the manufacturers one year warranty.
[Thunderbolt General] mAlfunkti0n:
I would sent it back in a heartbeat, buttons that you can't reach are a pretty good reason to replace. :)
[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
Sent Mine Back for same reason. Had to talk to a few people over phone but I got it Replaced. New one Has No Problems Now :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jupiik:
Hi Xda developers,

I might get involved in project during internship, where they want me to find way how to connect android device to custom made proprietary radio transmitter-receiver board without bluetooth or wifi, so it has to be direct wired connection.

This radio transmitter-receiver board has its own microchips and firmware so all low level work and functions will be done in this board alone.

Does anyone has idea how this could be done? is it possible to write some drivers (probably C) to communicate with this board over micro usb port present in all android devices? And than how could be data received over radio used in basic java-android application installed on device? (could this be done with use of a binary/text file as a link between these two programs?)

Thanks in advance

I'm doing android application which is something like a car blackbox which records the travelling process of the car.

But now i'm face with the problem of how am i going to integrate an accelerometer which is capable of detecting slight movement (Probably > 1Gs) when an accident occur it could trigger the video recording to stop and saving it to the Archive file, thus not losing the file as a result to the accident..

I'm new to android/java could someone help guide me along? Thanks in advance...

This is part of the section of the video recording but now how am i going to incorporate accelerometer for "Auto-Archiving" purposes?

public boolean startRecording(){
try {
encodingStatus = Tab1Activity.encodingPref;
videoResolution = Tab1Activity.videoResPref;
fileFormat = Tab1Activity.fileFormatPref;

audioStatus = Tab2Activity.audioPref;
timeInterval = Tab2Activity.timeIntervalPref;

try{
ServiceCamera.reconnect();
ServiceCamera.unlock();
}
catch(Exception e){

}

mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();

mediaRecorder.setCamera(ServiceCamera);

mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);

mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);

mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.DEFAULT);

mediaRecorder.setMaxDuration(timeInterval);

mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);

mediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(encodingStatus);

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH_mm_ss");
Date date = new Date();
File dirlist = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/VideoList");

if(!(dirlist.exists()))
dirlist.mkdir();

File TempFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/VideoList", dateFormat.format(date) + fileFormat);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(TempFile.getPath());

String[] separatedRes = videoResolution.split("x");
separatedRes[0];
separatedRes[1];

mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(surfaceView.getWidth(),surfaceView.getHeight());

//mediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(videoFramesPerSecond);

mediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder.getSurface());

mediaRecorder.prepare();
mediaRecorder.start();

recordingStatus = true;

return true;

I need some help. Every time I make a call I can hear the rings but soon as the person answers it goes quite. They can't hear me and I can't hear them. I did a battery pull it worked for one call but now its doing it again and pulling the battery isn't working.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cottinghamm:
I have just got my SII and am trying to connect to both of my Google accounts - my Gmail account is the one I use for trash & Market, my Google Apps account is the one I need for email, contacts & calendar.

It syncs the Gmail account fine, connects to the Google Apps account fine but only shows Calendar & Contacts for sync, the email account is missing. I was using a Nexus One fine with both accounts but the SII just won't see the G_Apps email.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Handset from O2 UK, locked I assume.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
O___o

That is a bit of a bummer. I use at least 2 Google Apps accounts... Though I'm pretty sure that this sort of functionality comes from the Google stuff, rather than Samsung...

Did you add them both in the same way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BasieP:
prolly your are forgetting a checkbox... are you syncing both accounts?

in gmail app, under accounts do you see both accounts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
I have both a GMail account and a Google Apps account - both are syncing fine here, showing sync options for calendar, contacts and mail for both accounts.

So must be something specific to your setup - definitely not a SGS2 or Google limitation
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cottinghamm:
Can't work out why this happened, it is working now so it may have been a setting or anything, I deleted the G_Apps account & added it again & it all worked.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OldMan1982:
Ok so I have just upgraded the ROM on my HTC Desire from LeeDrOiD 2.3 to 2.4 and I have noticed on a few places mention that its possible to upgrade the HBOOT on the phone?

Is this correct or something that is not really relevant and should not be touched?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nexxy:
stock HBOOT got S-ON (NAND Protection by HTC).

As long as you get no problems flashing / booting new CustomROMs on your phone,

or if you dont need APPs whitch requires S-OFF, then there is no need of updating HBOOT.

Which HBOOT version do you have ? 0.93.0001 ?
[Galaxy S II General] JohnDoe01:
Not much to say yet. I guess a smiley will do the job :

[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
you know that you paid 100 euro to much right? (expansys charges 600 euro...) Don't want to ruin your smile though. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] JohnDoe01:
First, it's is more or less 50€ only on the top of what I should have paid in France (except that it is not available yet), and I am getting it one month in advance...

You know what ? I don't think anything will ruin my smile, and certainly not paying ONLY 50€ on the top of normal pricing to get the chance to be the first kid on the block to get it and show it off :D

j'suis bien trop content !!!
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
What time did you get it? I got mine at 8h53 :p
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
Oula ca pue la cuisse de grenouille par ici lol 'lut turtounet ^^

I'll get mine tommorow "theorically" as it was shipped today

And +1 how can you ruin the smile of someone that just got his hands on this beast ? 50€ ? uh when you spend 550€ on a phone you don't mine the extra 50€ to get it literaly 1 MONTH earlier ;)

@OP, can you make a small vid showing it off ? :)
[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:
Where do you live in France, guys? My phone was shipped yesterday but I haven't got it yet, and the tracking number doesn't work :(
[Galaxy S II General] Stitch!:
lol got it monday.. for 487. shipped from Holland though.. Am in Paris right now, includes all normal accesoires and free 8 gb sd card. Also 2 years warranty, so if you paid 599 plus a few euro for shipping you def, paid more then 50 euro to much.

Anyway its a brilliant phone and def worth your money ;) I will stop being all Dutch about it hahaha

:p:p:p
[Galaxy S II General] turt:
Stitch!, I think you don't tell the truth... You may have ordered it in Holland, but then again the phone is not yet out there, so you can't possibly already have it in your hands. It's expected end of next week in Holland...

And to get the 8GB free card, you have to be a dutch resident, otherwise they won't send it to you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
I cannot connect to WiFi at home anymore. It just says connecting... disconnecting... searching... connecting... disconnecting... searching... over and over.

I've installed several ROMs to try to fix it, but it is true across the board, which leads me to believe that this is a radio problem. Is that correct?

However, I have the latest radio, as posted on this thread.

My radio is 2.15.00.11.19

My PRI is 1.90_003

So... what do I do?

Thank you in advance for any help, hive mind! I will contribute later...

Later.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Are you certain your passphrase, if any, is typed in correctly? Try removing the encryption from your router/wap and then see if you can connect. If you are able to connect then you will know that the encryption passphrase did not match. By the way, which rom are you currently using and what kernel. Changing to a different kernel can sometimes help.

posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
Thanks. I am positive the passphrase is correct, because I double-checked by re-connecting my wireless printer and an iPad.

I currently have the leaked stock 2.3.3 rom installed.

You think installing another kernel could help? I might try to do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I've flashed that same rom the day it was leaked and everything worked so yes, switch kernels and see if it helps. Try something like Netarchy 4.3.2 noHAVs noSBC noUV.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprockethead:
But out of curiosity, what is it that connects to WiFi?

Is it the radio? PRI? Wimax? What is the piece of software that does it?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] _LeCiel_:
I replaced my broken LCD with a new one I bought on eBay.

Although the device is functioning (including the touch screen) the screen looks horrible when assembled with the digitizer.

I've read on XDA that the liquid between the digitizer and LCD is rather important so I didn't wipe it out, but that made the screen look even worse, so I wiped the liquid off. Here's the result:

As you can see the screen is very dim (with brightness set to 100%) and there's a weird "rainbow-like effect" (for luck of better words) that brightens and dims the screen in a strip-like manner depending on the angle your looking at.

What liquid should I use to assemble the two, so that the screen on the digitizer would seem as bright as on the LCD (when on its own). I read on other threads that I should use some kind of glue, but I'm afraid to do so, since the original liquid looked more like oil then glue.

Also, the digitizer is fully working, and you can even use the touchscreen when it's separated from the LCD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] forceonatr:
I have no idea what kind of liquid you're referring to. I just replaced mine and I recently replaced one on an EVO and neither had any liquid to speak of.

Does the LCD look amazing UNTIL you cover it - but the goes Mr Hyde when the digitizer goes on?

Compare it in your mind to how completely vivid and gorgeous the OEM lcd is on these. Does it look like that or is it a cheap chinese utter BS LCD which is never going to look any better than that, regardless?

I reaaalllly prefer to find a used phone to steal parts from because of this exact scenario (the advantage being that I know it's an OEM screen and I can take digi and panel together, swap em out 1:1.)

On TP/2 - you could even just leave the entire face/bezel intact and place it on your existing phone. ( I see them on CL all the time for 100 or less)

** for instance modesto.craigslist.org/mob/2348446633.html ** <-- just to show you that they exist. I obviously wouldn't grab that one. Might not even be there when you click it.

From the look of it, I don't believe it can be fixed. I hope I'm wrong and the magic liquid is a real thing and I hope someone who has mastered the lcd alchemy required to restore it will be kind enough to either perform the spell remotely or post the steps in a post here. But... when that turns out not to be real (which I really don't think it is) you have to move onto phase 2 and I hope you didn't spend a lot on that screen.

I know you're sick of using it on screen - and that's NOT my solution - but you should also try SOTI pocket controller which is way faster on screen refresh than Mobiler (I think it's hardware accelerated, actually)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] oleggrdinic:
in my country (Serbia) you can find it for about 40 Eur. Touch screen is cca 30.

is not worth the bother to repair broken LCD. you can't fix it... sorry for bad news..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] q9650:
looks like the digitizer has newtons rings...this happens often with Resistive touchscreen. Happens when the upper foil and the digitizer glas where exposed pressure :/ Dunno a fix for it. Reason why i changed to HD2 with capacitive touchscreen.

Mine does this. You have to power off completely. To do that, you must hold the power button for more than 10 seconds to turn it off. Wait a bit, then power it back on by holding the power for 5 seconds.

I've searched around and people say it's the lock screen that causes the screen to blank. But I don't think that was it, I disabled it and it still does it.

Next someone says it has something to do with WiFi, I don't think this is right also because it has happened at times when I had the wifi OFF.
