Sounds like BS to me. I've seen a lot of misinformation thanks to people who have no idea about what they're talking about.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I thought so too.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
Well, I probably wouldn't ever actually buy a game from the market, rather, I just wanted to know if we would be treated like second class phone-users here in the states. Unless we go Apple, we always get the shaft with devices, FW updates, services, etc.
[Xperia Play General] iconoclastnet:
No ps1 titles here either, same message. But, uh, getting back to the original topic, what's the update path for these things?

Now that 2.3.3 is rolling out all around I figured I'd pop over to the dev section and flash myself an update. I hadn't realised that the US R800a was going to be this odd minority device without the plethora of pre-rooted images floating around like the other alphabet suffixes. Surely, giving these out to developers at a conference, they would've expected us to root these things (I sometimes forget that there's folks out there who actually get their android updates "over the air").

Anyone know how compatible these are with the canadian R800a phones (I'm presuming most of the region specific restrictions are keying off the sim card)?

For that matter, how much actual difference is there (aside from the radios) between the other letter variants?
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
This is a little premature on my part, but I'm starting to worry we may have dead-end devices.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Don't feel bad. The US usually gets things before us Canadians.

I was shocked to see Canada get this phone before the US.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
Anyone who has an unlocked, unbranded R800a get 2.3.3 officially yet?
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
This is not an official update but is now officially a confirmed working method for updating to 2.3.3 with root for R800a dev units on AT&T. Furthermore, it should work in any region... for those not in the states. And, no bootloader unlocking required!

Using the stock Rogers firmware I saw no update to 2.3.3, but after I installed the stock uk firmware I saw an update right away. Of course I used Gingerbreak first :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwandaw:
I have an AT&T N1 that I bought second-hand a few weeks ago:

Android version 2.3.3

Baseband version 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04

Build number GRI40

There is no "lock" at the bottom of the screen when I boot the phone.

I have not received the OTA update to 2.3.4. I have tried the "checkin" procedure, but nothing. Menu/About phone/System updates says "Your system is currently up to date."

I followed widely available directions to manually upgrade to 2.3.4, but it didn't work. I saw several messages, ending with:

"E: No signature (226 files)"

"E: Verification failed"

"Zip verification failed!"

"Zip isn't signed correctly!"

"Installation aborted"

After reading through other threads, I am starting to think that I have a ROM that is somehow not stock or is carrier specific. Is my thinking right?

At this time I just want to get the regular, stock updates. Should I follow the directions in other threads to restore my phone to stock in order to get the regular stock updates?

Follow the "Using PASSIMG.ZIP method" guide in the following link to bring the phone back to FRG83 (Android 2.2.1). After reboot, you should get the 2.3.4 update.

How are you trying to flash the update manually? Do you have a custom recovery? If so, you need to turn signature verification OFF...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwandaw:
Unfortunately, I cannot include links to outside websites in my replies. However, I can tell you that there are instructions on AndroidCentral [dot] com to manually update. The name of the post or article is "Nexus One's Android 2.3.4 update is here; we've got your update instructions".

Basically, the article has a link to a zip file with an awfully long name. I'm supposed to rename that to update [dot] zip and move it to the SD card in my phone. Then I'm supposed to get into the bootloader, select recovery and eventually select Apply sdcard:update [dot] zip. I did all of that without any trouble, but then I got messages below:

"E: No signature (226 files)"

"E: Verification failed"

"Zip verification failed!"

"Zip isn't signed correctly!"

"Installation aborted"

I tried turning off signature verification, but then the error message said something about a missing file.

I would be glad to wait for the OTA update, but at this point (three weeks since the announcement) I doubt that it will happen.

I would appreciate any advice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
What is the error about the missing file? Because assuming you just have a stock install, it should work fine. If you don't have a stock install and your carrier put a custom version on there, you won't be able to update using this. You would either have to do the passimg method mentioned above which will put you to the stock firmware and you should then be able to receive the update.

Otherwise, you will have to wait until your carrier comes out with an updated version.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwandaw:
It Worked!

I followed the "Using PASSIMG.ZIP method" guide recommended by madballs. It worked quickly and easily. About ten minutes after installing the stock Android 2.2 I received a message that a system update was available, and 2.3.4 installed without any trouble.

Hopefully, from now on I'll receive updates OTA quickly and without hassle.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madballs:
You should not run into any problems from now on. When the next update comes, you can apply it manually or wait for the OTA. In addition, if at any time you try rooting your phone and flash a custom recovery and ROM, you can always use the PASSIMG method to go back to completely stock. There is a thread in the development section that linked a PASSIMG.zip file for to go to 2.3.4 directly. Never tried that file myself though. Enjoy your N1!

[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
A few months ago while we were all still running Flash Player 10.1 I found both a Flash Player mod AND a Hulu app that worked with the mod. Surprisingly enough, once Flash Player 10.2 came out that mod still worked. Unfortunately though that mod no longer works with Flash Player 10.3. Does anyone know a new Flash Player mod that's compatible with this latest update? I miss watching Hulu on my phone. :-(
[Droid X General] tcobb2000:

Flash 10.3 with Hulu fix

I haven't tried this on my Droid X but have it working on my android tablets.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077914

Just make sure you uninstall Flash on your phone first before you install this hacked version. Then you will have to change the UserAgent setting on your browser to Desktop. If you don't know how to get to that setting simply type about:debug in the address bar of the browser and hit enter. You won't see anything happen after you do this. Go to Settings and you should have UserAgent as a setting available to you after that. Select Desktop and then you should be good to go.

I've found with Hulu, to be able to play videos without it freezing and/or the screen turning black on you, you will have to get into your settings on Hulu and set your Account/Settings and set your Playback Quality to 288p (you don't want to let it auto-select for you).

Good luck.

One more thing, if you have an ad-blocker like AdFree or something you will have to disable it otherwise Hulu will not like it and eventually stop working for you. It has to play the commercials.

HI

i flash it U20i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.tft

so now i have a baseband correct to get CM BUT i can only use edge??? why?i try *#*#4636#*#* and change to GSM AUTO and i just get EDGE someone knows why????

i used have 006 working fine , after that i DL a tft u20i UK tft and flash it i keep my 006 baseband so i flash it the 015 and install CM all was ok until i figure out i have only edge and no 3g :S any way to fix this? the apn its fine.

thanks a lot
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Zolocofxp:
You probably have a u20a model, remove the battery cover and look for it. When flashing a u20i baseband/firmware, you lose 3G.... I know because it happened to me!! look around for a way to revert back to stock u20a and update (I used a brazilian generic one).

wow indeed i got u20a so should i reverse? or there is any radio for 20a ?? thanks a lot

[Thunderbolt General] krnsushiman:
Hi guys I'm currenting running BAMF 2.0 and I'm having a lot of problems with charging and USB mounting and so I was wondering if I should switch to CM7. What problems have you guys been having with CM7? Also what kernel and radio should I flash when I run it? Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
You need to use a Froyo radio (like the one in my signature). Also CM7 does have it's own issues: see the CM7 thread for more. I'm using leanKernel2.5.2+tun and it works great. Make sure to flash the kernel in recovery and not in ROM manager or Kernel Manager -- it can cause issues. Some of the charging issues I've seen with the GB Sense Leak seem to have something to do with the kernel, or so I've read in the leanKernel thread. May want to check that out before you switch.

Good luck!
[Thunderbolt General] jruasap:
I've been using CM7 as my daily driver since the newest build came out and have had very few problems. The most annoying issue is that in order to get 4g you have to turn 3g on first, then switch to 4g and it will connect, but won't show you how many bars you have. Aside from that everything is working pretty flawlessly for me. I think that it is way better than any of the sense based roms and it's definitely cool to have an AOSP rom since I upgraded from the OG DROID.
[Thunderbolt General] theotherbrocklanders:
I wouldn't say I've been having zero problems, I don't have the updated baseband above (care to point me where I can find that/noob instructions?) but overall I have mixed feelings with the update - most of them are stock-android issues I think. The radios are a mess, I lose 3g regularly and have to restart, gps problems, and bluetooth is a complete disaster (as it was on sense). Other than that, I've had issues with exchange, issues with my contacts (may have been a backup problem), issues with some widgets. Generally it is MUCH faster than sense on bootup, but some games are laggy with nothing else running.

Also: Netflix!

Really looking forward to future updates, once the kinks are worked out I will be pretty happy. Very glad I'm off sense and all that VZ crap is gone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yufice:
The famous SMS bug where your text messages go to a different recipient bit me last night, using the stock HTC mms app on an old rom. Using handcent or a different 3rd party app usually makes that problem go away. The new roms (i'm flashing BAMF 2.0.5 right now) all feature sense 3.0 mms apps, do these solve that sms bug or no?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
I have had many bugs with 2.0.5. The camera is on like at least a 5 second delay, if it doesn't FC first. I get MMS out of order and I am currently in the process of going back to 1.6.3 until these minor flaws get worked out. I would love to keep 2.0.5 on my phone but I need it to be reliable and stable and have all of the phones features working properly.

In by no way am I knockin the work of team BAMF or their work. As a matter of fact I love it. Just like a little more options and customizations available for my phone. I am going to continue to flash every new update for BAMF GB but just want something to fall back on until the final is released.

OK guys here is the situation...

I had my stock epic, rooted and left stock...got bored and installed CWM3 and began using a custom EXT ROM. I used that for maybe 3 months and decided to ODIN back to stock. I wanted to root the fresh installed stock ROM so i can still used some of my apps.

I downloaded one click 2.2.7, 2.3.0, 2.5.0 and 2.5.5 and I still cant get my phone rooted when I click the run file. I did notice that when I extract all or extract using 7z not every file comes thru. That boggles my mind because it was easy months ago when I originally rooted. I am on a windows 7 64bit pc (same as before) and cant get this epic rooted for the life of me.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
Read above....sounds like your antivirus is deleting the rage file. Had the same thing happen to me. I disabled my mcafee, extracted the files ran the update and all is well.

Recent AV updates now see the rage file as an OS exploit (ie virus). It is an exploit but it's not malicious, so who knows why they categorized it that way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durrett syndrome:
just disabled it and extracted all again and it is still missing
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
You may need to download it again. A lot of AV applications would scan with a compressed file and remove it from the zip.

Disable the anitvirus and redownload the one lick root.

And if your using mcafee..ensure that the onaccess scan id also disabled.

Hope that helps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffman2152:
I ran into this article yesterday, How to Flash CyanogenMod 7 ROM Samsung Captivate AT&T, and felt it was about time to learn about this. Plenty of you have already ROOTED your phones, and know from experience, what to do. But, I don't. Right now, I'm stuck with the options of accepting things don't work right, because of AT'T's unwillingness, or inabilility, to correct the issues I have, or reinsiall new, and lose all I've put on, or send back to Samsung for repair, and have them lose all I have on it, or try Rooting and adding a ROM, that may solve my issues. But to do that, I need a little help in understanding it.

First, if I try and run a program, like CyanogenMod 7, and it doesn't work correctly, snd screws up my phone, is there a way I can reinstall Android, and start over, or is that the proverbial kiss of death for my Captivate, and I'm stuck with it like that?

Second, is this the right ROM to try? AT&T can't fix my BLOCKS, of UNKNOWN APPS. The Settings change is easy, you click on activating Unknown, in Application settings..., unless you have no UNKNOWN, to choose. Also, in MMS settings, AT&T shows in a tutorial, that you have the option, of activating Delivery Report and Read Report. It shows this as plain as day, on that tutorial for the Captivate, yet mine, has NEITHER OF THOSE OPTIONS. Also, to TURN ON EDGE, the setting is missing, so I can't activate EDGE, which I guess is no big thing, since the towers AT&T has for us to connect with, THAT ARE 2G, are in such poor condition, no one can connect to them. Thank you, WIFI, for helping me get, ONLINE. Will this, or other ROM's, solve this for me?

If there are any suggestions of how to do this, and what to use, I'd appreciate hearing it from you. Again, I thank any effort, to help me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
1.cm 7 would not be the best rom to flash for your first time.

2. All roms are android, you are running at&t/samsung version of an android rom...

3. Yes you can get back to your stock rom if you don't like/something goes wrong (other than a bad bootloader flash)

4.all custom roms have all the blocking done by at&t removed so switching to 2g(edge) is possible and also faster 3g speeds known as hspa. And unknown sources is in the settings so you can install apps from outside the market.

5.the threads at the top of every section with a little thumb tacks are called stickies, give those a read through.

From newbie to a newbie, I took the advice of others and read threads for atleast a month before I flashed my first rom. My choice was Andromeda3, It has a written tutorial and a video on how to from start to finish. From what tools or apps you will need and how to use them , I watched that atleast 6 times and also while I was flashing the kernel and the rom. It may have been overkill but my flash was perfect and I'm real happy with my phone now. You may not go with the same rom I did but do your self a favor and do what I did to prepare for your first flash.
