[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
hey no prob glad to help!! how did you end up fixing it? haha just curious
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Why ebi1 is equivalent to the old ebi0 and you loose the extra ram.

Thus unless there is a very specific reason it's a downgrade

Best stay as is or upgrade the radio to 2.22.28.25.. As it has been distributed world wide. (Including to all locations 2.22.27.08 was previously distributed)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacaface:
what did you do?

I would like to know if you solved this issue as mine is similar. I DO have root though, but i have no recov/fastboot. I am using a dev phone though.

ps, grats on getting it working
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
If you flashed 0.95.0000 you are no longer using a dev phone (what do you see when you boot holding camera?)

The good news is that the ADP1 used the universal CID (11111111) and is thus not restricted to a particular carriers nbh file.. so you can probably just flash the orange nbh without the goldcard [just renamed DREAIMG.nbh on the root of your SDCard], then follow the 2708+ radio instructions.. or install 1.33.2003/5 via fastboot if you need the old radio.

The reason I'm pointing to the orange nbh is it will let you bypass the whole "I bricked my phone because I insisted on flashing death SPL via recovery" since you have an engineering SPL and 2.x radio after flashing that orange NBH from the 2708+ thread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl3vr:
This is what worked for me, going from:

- a non responsive recovery

- OS locked at activation, so no usb debugging

- OS refused to root

- quadicolored fastboot screen that wouldnt recognize usb

To CM5 2708+ with RA-cyan1.7.

Before this thread I had to use this to get post the verizon data plan only activation to enable usb debugging.

Made a goldcard

Put the orange nbh renamed to DREAIMG.nbh (can't remember where i got it from, just searched) on the goldcard, Booted with camera+power to get fastboot, and applied the update.

Followed ezterry's post and at step 5 flipped over to this post on CM5 2708+

Now I'm gonna update the radio using exterry's advanced zips. Thanks again everyone, another successful thread.

Hi all,

Anyone from Australia looking to S-OFF their incredible S using an XTC clip please register your interest here. I'm thinking we could all put in a small amount and buy one to share around.

Don't have permission to post in developers section so putting it here instead.

Cheers,

Carl

you get me here. melbourne.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Interested here. I'm in central Queensland, Gladstone

Tho I do want to learn a bit more about the clips first

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Incredible S] tzuyang:
I would be interested here in brisbane
[HTC Incredible S] R3alsp33dy0ne:
Well thats 4 of us so far then. I think they cost about $150 plus postage so thats maybe $35-$40 each? what do you think guys? We would have to post it around to each other I suppose. I'm OK with that.

I'll spread the word on a couple of other forums as well.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Yeah, one or two more would be sweet but I'm happy with that

But how hard is the process of s-off?

[HTC Incredible S] raskal:
i think next week i will release the xtc payg, this is cheap and any one can afford it for those interested.

i am just little buisy at the moment to release it, since i still have to make one more update.
[HTC Incredible S] Chiuuu:
i am from melbourne

I think i am able to get the xtc chip from china which is cheaper than the price on ebay, about AU$120+postage...

what do u guys think?
[HTC Incredible S] Chiuuu:
Woo~~what is that?

new product? software or hardware?

Thanks for the effort~
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Interested

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Incredible S] raskal:
it's hardware, you can't do it with soft for now. it will cost around 25 euro plus shipping and you can s-off one phone with it and you can create unlimited goldcard

in case need more credits those can be purchased via paypal, 1 or 5 credits, or in case have more phones, you can purchase one code which converts your pay as you go clip in an unlimited one.
[HTC Incredible S] RellikZephyr:
Hey raskal

With the xtc clip, is it hardware specific? Ie will it only work with incredible s? Or will I be able to get s-off on my incredible then buy another credit or whatever later and use it to unlock a Sensation?

Thanks

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
The XTC clip is device agnostic, it can download updates for new devices if / when raskal releases them. It can unlock pretty much all known HTC Android devices to date, and can also unlock HTC Windows phone 7 (but you would need to buy an extra cable)

[HTC Incredible S] raskal:
this is not hardware specific, it has 100% same functions like the XTC clip, just it uses credits to do S-OFF, it support all devices supported by XTC clip

a clip will cost between 19-25 euro and will come loaded with 1 credit

even the credit is used up, the xtc clip can be used to generate gold card for some old winmo, for all android and for all windows phone 7 devices

HTC Salsa - rooting and adding memory via SD card

Hi

I need to root and add memory to my phone through an 8GB SD card, and have purchased an XTC clip.

However, I have no understanding of the instructions on how to do the necessary process. I'm not a technical person and am way out of my depth.

Does anyone know somebody/a company in the Sydney area who is able to do this?

I am happy to pay a reasonable price.

thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbox1983:
ok so first off im running clockworkMod Recovery v2.6.0.1 i was trying to flash a new rom VR kingdom A01(the new htc evo 3d look) the rom so big it call for partition of the sd card to allow apps to download from the market. i partition my card and how ever i did or what ever i did i lost everything theres noithing on my card i cant even boot up stock if i try it gets stuck on a black screen that says android in blue writting help is my phone bricked?????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
So first of all, yes, I'm afraid you did lose everything on your card. Repartitioning the card will wipe all data from the card. You needed to back it up first.

However, that shouldn't be causing your phone not to boot. Try some or all of the following:

- Booting with the SD card removed

- Wiping data

- Reflashing the ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybervyrus8587:
Someone doesn't read... any way that is normal to loose everything but I don't think ur bricked. Just dl from a PC and place on the SD and flash. But unless u backed up ur SD u DID loose everything and will have to start from scratch.

nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbox1983:
thank u i did what u said i believe it was a problem with the rom and on top of me clearing my sd card. flashed a differnit rom and all is good thanks again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
How long did you let it sit at that screen? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Try just letting it sit there for a while...and I mean a long while. Like, after you flash and hit reboot, go take a poop or make a sammich (no euphamism intended). If, after a good long, while (say, 20-30 minutes) you still have not booted, then do a batt pull. Also, keep in mind that that rom will reboot twice before booting completely. This is normal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XGrzesiuX:
im running A01 and not having to problem there is still need alot of work but over all its works ok... the gfx fix made the rom alot better.

So, I have a rooted Droid 2 and I had an older rom on it that was kinda buggy so I tried flashing a new one over and it failed. After it wouldn't boot I tried to get to my nandroid to flash my backup..but for some reason it will only let me into the stock recovery and there is no way for me to get back to any rom..is there something I'm missing as far as getting into cwm?
[Droid 2 General] mikebatman:
A couple of times when a rom didn't make it easy to open up recovery I had been successful using droid 2 recovery bootstrap. Sometimes when opening recovery and getting a ! I could fumble through alternating between the screen lock button, the camera key, the magnifying glass, and the search key and getting somewhere.
[Droid 2 General] MissionImprobable:
Start up the phone. When the blue light appears in the right side corner during the M logo hit the down volume key, scroll down and select recovery, then latest recovery. This will take you into Clockwork.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperialX:
I've been using an iPhone for god knows how long just becuase of Air Video - there are no alternatives for Android. The Galaxy S II is looking absolutely perfect, but there's just one more thing I absolutely must confirm before I make the purchase.

I'm a huge anime watcher. I watch anime on the go all the time. The iPhone 4 uses Air Video and does that perfectly. Since there's no alternative for Android the Galaxy S II must be able to watch it without conversion for me to replace my iPhone with it.

My anime are almost always 720p, MKV encoded with h.264, softsubs. That's generally the industry standard for anime distribution. Will the Galaxy S II play these files without conversion. If it's a yes, then I'm ordering right now.

If someone here actually has one and watches anime, it would be much appreciated if you can download an episode and try it out on your device. Telling me your results would be much appreciated!

The most important thing is framerate, audio and subtitle rendering.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
Havent watched anime specifically but tested a x264 encoded blu ray 1080p and that worked fine.

And I'm in Melbourne too! Where did you get your S II from?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
I can confirm 720p (and 1080p as well most likely) MKV files (yes, anime. Tried it with released from gg, commie, UTW) with .ass/.srt softsubs play perfectly. The more advanced aspects of .ass subs don't work but it's no big deal - Styling, transition effects, etc.

I'm using mVideoPlayer instead of the stock one as the stock can't read .ass softsubs.

If I had this two years ago when i used to go on anime binges it would've been perfect. Didn't like waiting 30 mins for each ep to convert to 480x272 mp4s. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Should play them, make sure the subs file name is the same as the video (up to the file extension obviously). If the subs don't play try converting them to .srt subs and try again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uvaavu:
1920x1080 mkv's play fine, full speed. This is the only phone that's been able to play my 'Bad Apple PV' test mkv at full speed without the video/sound getting out of sync after 20 seconds.

However subtitles did not work in any of the players I tried (default, mobo & rock). Will look for another player later.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uvaavu:
These MKV's don't have a separate subs file. They're built into the mkv as a separate data stream.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theproskater:
For those looking for an alternative to Air Video, I've been using Plex. It has a companion program that runs on your comp (just like air video) that converts pretty much any video format to stream to your android device. Only problem is that it's not quite as easy to set up to stream over 3g/4g as air video is. But if you know how to port-forward your router, it's pretty easy from there. Hope this helps some ppl!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
Try mVideoPlayer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperialX:
This post confirmed it. Thank you very much. Placing the order now.

Why are you not watching anime anymore? There are so many good things this season. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
The S2 can play HD content no problem, it's the media player you should be looking at. If one doesn't read subs in MKV containers then just move on to the next media player and check. Yeah anyway, no problems.

As for why i'm not watching any, i'm too busy. I work/study 50+ hours a week now, I try to squeeze something in during the commutes though.

Enjoy your new beast phone. :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperialX:
It doesn't support subtitles, so it's of no use for people who watch anime. xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Yeah, not sure why I was thinking of external subs. I have some 720p MKVs and their subs, of the kind you mention, do play in the default player for me...

...and to answer a question above: Yes! Seeking within 1080p content works just fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
tested and verified that it works 100% playback, subtitles and skipping through (used mvideoplayer)

I just received my SGS2. The MKVs play very well but they have no audio no matter what app I use including mVideoPlayer! What do I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
That's odd. Mind posting which MKVs are giving you trouble?

Do you have your media volume up? :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperialX:
lol, yeah. Music plays fine. The volume is definitely up. None of my MKVs have sound...

I'm using the free mVideoPlayer. Do I need to buy the Pro one? The Samsung built in player has no sound either...

Am I allowed to post media links?

EDIT: Just tried an AVI. Sound works perfect. Just MKVs don't work.

EDIT 2: OK, just tried another MKV with AAC audio. It works. Tried one with FLACs. That also worked. The ones with Vorbis don't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
All I can think of atm is that it's not reading the AAC audio stream, which is odd since the SGS2 supports AAC out of the box...

You can PM me the torrent link or DDL and I can check.

Edit: Just saw your edit, it should read OGG Vorbis too. Could you send me a link to one with a Vorbis stream?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperialX:
No, no...the MKVs with AAC, FLAC or MP3 as the audio work perfectly. It's just Vorbis that doesn't work. This is annoying because a lot of old anime are in Vorbis. The current ones use AAC so it's fine.

Is there a player that supports it? Or a tweak so mVideoPlayer can play it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
Ugh, Samsung apparently screwed up Vorbis in Gingerbread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090862

I'll look into this a bit more.

Edit: Seems like you're going to have to demux, convert the audio track to another format and remux the MKV.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUndicider:
Do subtitles work for you in the default Samsung player? Also do you know of a player that can switch audio streams?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiebum:
Guys, try MoboPlayer. I've tried a bunch of other video players (rockplayer, mvideoplayer, vplayer) on my Galaxy Tab and the only one that played MKV's with DTS-encoded (I think) sound and plays integrated subs was that one. Haven't tested on the SGS2 yet though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
Mobo reads multiple stream audio, you have to pick which one to play before the video starts. Also reads .ass subs, you have to 'set' a media folder though and let it scan it.

It plays OGG Vorbis. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
try DicePlayer.

Galaxy Tab can play 1080p(+DTS/Flac/OGG) movies with mkv embedded subs.

If you use Samsung SP5C11x or exynos(SGS2's AP), diceplayer is best player than any other sw players.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartoi:
Does this mean that you have to extract the subs from the video and put it in its own folder?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sticks02:
No, you have to let the player's media scanner scan your video folder then play through the media player. If you open the file through another program (say, the file explorer) then the subs won't load.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartoi:
Oh, I see.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughrocks:
Hi there, thought I'd ask this question in this thread since previous posters may have experienced this as well:

When I play anime mkv files (with any video app it seems), the opening title track and the closing credit sequences are always cut out. I play the file on my pc, and the annoying songs are there, but when I play them on my SGS2 they are noticeably absent.

Am I being stupid and missing something obvious here? This isn't a major issue as I'd skip through these sequences anyway, but I'd like to at least have the option to see them!

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Tj-:
I have many 720p anime .mkv files that get out of sync, and I'm constantly having to backtrack to get it back in sync, 20-30 times per episode. These are all pretty small files (~250-350MB) and 1080p files of the same length play perfectly (~1.1GB). It's driving me nuts and I haven't gotten any response in my thread regarding the matter.

What video player are you using?
