Thank-you

Actually, if you downgrade with this method, it gives you HBOOT 98.00.0000 or 98.20.0000 (or something like that) and then you can S-OFF with revolutionary, install recovery and custom ROMS :) simples.

Thank you for this method, i tried this method:

but it didnt work for me, although it does work for others. :(

I thought this could be possible, so i searched and, sure enough, you stole my idea!:mad:

Im joking, but thank-you, as i now know this method does indeed work!

Hi all

There is alot of threads about new firmwares being released but when i open up kies it doesn't offer me any updates and I can see how you check for update. My phone is as it arrived and it should be a uk unlocked version, details as follows

Baseband version: I9100XXKDH

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 rool@DELL103 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKDD

Should i be offered an update with this software version?

Congrats! You now have a useless papetweight!!

You did not lose the 3 button combo when you flashed to gingerbread the combo is different in the gb secondary bootloader

Vol up+power=recovery

Vol down+power=download

What you did when you tried to "fix" the combo was flash a froyo secondary bootloader while you still have a gingerbread primary bootloader and that equals, completely ****ed.

everything worked properly when you jumped to gingerbread do that the same way.

Any other solution to unknown baseband after update? I have 2pcs of Xoom 3g that were updated to 3.0.1, baseband became unknown. I followed instruction how to flash back the stock rom via fastboot and one worked, got everything back, but another still got unknown baseband. Both tabs are the same. Flashed the same file. Does system.img contain baseband flash? It flashed everything OK, boot.img, system.img, recovery.img and userdata.img, all flashed OK but still got baseband unknown and no 3g.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordao:
what you need is to push the correct build.prop to the xoom reboot and your 3G should work.

1st adb remount

then

3rd adb reboot

Can't see any reason why it would not work after all that you have done, I think at this point you might have to put the original images back on and send it back to Moto. I can only think it must be hardware failure.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerdaddy:
In the CM7 FAQs it advises you need to flash a 3 file firmware via Odin to revert back to stock. I tired the way you are asking but it did not work.

Flashing with a 3 file firmware does work

You can get the firmware from samfirmware.com
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koflem:
Yep, you can't flash back via cwm, you need to use a 3 file firmware with repartition checked on odin.

About the battery life on cm7, there are a few things you can do to help:

1) in the wifi advanced settings, turn wifi sleep to "never" as it may prevent the phone from sleeping

2) with the battery full, reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats (also wipe cache/dalvik cache while you're at it)

3) check the battery stats for any app that might be using up the battery in the background and uninstall it

4) make sure you're on the latest nightly

5) use a cm7 kernel that supports undervolting and undervolt your phone

6) lower the brightness, disable gps/wifi/bluetooth when you don't need them

and yes, the 97% battery is perfectly normal, have you read the FAQ?...

Hi All,

This one is bit more complicated firstly i have some old contacts on my simcard which i would like to delete so the question

1) How do i delete all my contacts from the simcard?

2) how do i import contacts from google account to the phone memory?

the reason i want to do the above is because of my Parrot bluetooth car kit which requires the contacts to be on the phone memory before it can access it, it wont access contacts stored on google account etc.

I already have the contacts stored locally as a .CSV windows and google file.
