Only rom in rom manager is cm7.

If you want to make the jump to gingerbread all you need is the jig one time to get into download mode and flash the gingerbread bootloaders, from there you will have a new working combo because the button combos are in the secondary bootloader.

Once on the gingerbread bootloaders

Vol up + power = recovery

Vol down + power = download

Thats it, one jig use...bootloader flash...working combo. easy.

You're welcome :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Just to inform you, but after you flash the GB bootloaders, you cannot flash Cognition. It has a secondary bootloader in its flash package that will cause your your phone to turn into a paperweight. Why? Because you can't mix bootloaders. A Gingerbread Primary bootloader must have a Gingerbread secondary. The secondary in Cog isn't a GB bootloader. For that reason, you also can't flash the Odin w/3button fix until AFTER you have flashed eclair/froyo bootloaders with Odin. So, if you do go to GB, ask more questions before you flash back to JF6 stock. It could be the difference in a working phone and a brick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You have a wonky connection. Make sure your chord is good. Plug into the back of the pc, no front ports, if its in a back port already go ahead and switch it to another one on the back. Restart your computer and try again. No need to return to stock first you can flash gb from where you are ... If you get a good connection...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Would anyone like to try making a custom boot anim out of this? Looping forever, preferably. I think it would look amazing. Maybe with some BAMF labeling, too?

http://db.tt/pB2QPzR

EDIT: Just FYI and in case you don't want to download the file, link is to an .mp4 file in my dropbox. The thunderstorm night weather animation from Sense 3.0.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] KGBxxx:
Would love to see this!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] 1234567188:
What do you want? Like this exact thing frame by frame or a recreation?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Well if it isn't too much, an exact frame by frame would be nice. But a recreation would be just dandy, too, as long as it is pretty close. Given I am running a GB ROM with a lot of Sense 3 elements on the Thunderbolt, I thought such an animation would be quite fitting.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] kenmills78:
This would be awesome
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Does anyone know of a way or a dev that can do .mp4 to bootanimation? If you know a way (or a suggestion of a way), I'd love to try it myself or if you know a dev that may be able to do this, I can ask him/her directly.

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
I'm gonna give it a try
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
Here it is!!!

Use root explorer and put it in the /system/media file.

Rename the old bootanimation.zip.old just incase you want to go back to the orginal one.

bootanimation

Here you go...

Sorry for no real preview but I think you will like it.

The attachments below are the start screen, 2 random frames from the animation, the ending screen, and the boot animation itself.

I imported the video as layers in Photoshop, then because the size is smaller in height than our screens I resized it and cropped it to 480 x 800.

After enlarging it the images were slightly pixelated so i softened them up a bit.

It starts out with a black "HTC quietly rooted" screen then goes into the animation with BAMF fading in with lightning effects. At the end it fades out to a black screen with "das BAMF - the baddest"

It doesn't loop but there are 131 frames total.

It works well with the original sound file.

Download the attached bootanimation.zip and put it in your /system/media folder and set permissions to rw-r--r--

Rename your original in case you want to go back.

Download

enjoy

I must have been typing as you were uploading :)

Oh well, nothing like choices.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
You both kick ass. Trying out both. Will come back with my decision. :D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Is this poised to be a request thread or a one shot and done deal?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Something went wrong here. No boot animation. and yes I did change the permissions.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Awesome. I especially like the BAMF overlay. One request, though. The baddest part at the end. Slightly cheesy for my tastes. Otherwise, perfect.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Forgive me, but what's the difference?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
A request thread would mean that people are requesting custom boot animations on an ongoing basis. If its one and done, that means yours is the end of the thread. lol.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Well since it was so specific, I'd call it one and done. But if others want to keep it going, who am I to stop it.

Also, damn rough loss for the sharks tonight. Cheap. Win. Period.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
While I didnt like the way that it ended, the Nucks deserved to win the series. They just worked harder than the Sharks in more games. Game five they were handed the game by Sharks mistakes and tonights game they got lucky. Like Randy and Drew always say "Youve gotta be lucky to be good and good to be lucky".
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
Guess your right choices are not bad at all.

I like it. Mine just has the HTC quietly brilliant and then the animation but the file is hugh.

I'll have to resize and then ill post another.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
What Rom are you running? I tested on BAMF 2.0.5 and I have had no problems.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
The same, tried a couple times. I did look into it and the stuff in it didn't look right. There is a folder in there called "new folder" that has all the images.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Make sure that you put it on the root section of your SD card and let it flash in like a radio update. I tried CWM at first cause I didnt pay attention. lol.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Oh, so his is set up to flash in hboot? Didn't know that was a possibility with boot animations. I usually just use root explorer.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Crap, ignore that. I thought it was the splash screen thread. haha. Flash it in with CWM. Sorry. If it doesnt load in the first time, let your phone restart and try installing it again through the recovery menus.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Gotcha. I'll give it a try later.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
The desc file governs the resoultion fps and what file has the images. What plays in the boot up screen is the New folder which has the images. If you open the desc file it states it in there.

It's not a flashable zip. Just put it in the /system/media folder using root explorer. Not the /sd/media it will not work
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FatTony666:
Trust me. I've put it in the right place, changed permissions correctly and made sure it was named properly. Nothing...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] johndiblasi:
​

I have a remix in the works give me a little and ill post it with working sound.

** Here is the new one. I have tested it on 2 other thunderbolts running BAMF 2.0.5. Instructions. Download zip. Using root explorer place the file under /system/media folder. Remane your old bootanimation to bootanimation.zip.old if you want to go back to stock down the line. You do not have to change anything with the downloaded zip from the URL. Enjoy ****

I found the instructions on how to mount USB for Xoom. Anyone tested this on Xoom MZ604 with 3.1 Stock? Thanks.

http://blog.endeng.net/ep_blog/?p=334

The latest dev kernel is making the usb mount point to be /mnt/usbOTG, you will need to update the vold.fstab on the xoom to fix the issue.

adb pull /etc/vold.fstab

edit vold.fstab and change the following line:

dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

to

dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbOTG auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

save the file, and go back to the command line

adb remount

adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab

abd reboot
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Wifi only. HC 3.1, running Tiamat 1.4.2 kernel.

Mine was: "dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbOTG auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci"

I edited it as suggested above, using Root Explorer. No joy. I still can't connect a USB device with a host cable. When I try to mount device in terminal, get the reply: "mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory" Any other suggestions?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RinTinTigger:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RinTinTigger:
ya welcome....the problem...from what i understood (brd is talking a different language when it comes to android :/ )

is that not only vold.fstab is different, but also a lot files as well. so he uploaded one of his boot.img (you will need those for OTG) together with those files, flashable through recovery and it worked. but at his timezone it was 3am....he went to sleep now, but i guess hell upload that soon....

the filename was: 3G_Light_ON_Speed_autoscale.zip

I never send things in for repair unless they give me a replacement unit on the spot. For a phone, i would rather order the screen online and fix it myself.

hey guys... so i have a MT4G rooted n s-off

i rooted using the gfree method.. and after about two months started getting recovery cache errors. i dont have the eng hboot (stupid me! D:)

i just called t mobile n theyre sending me a replacement.. but the problem is, i got a custom splash screen install.. so when they turn the phone on itll show it (the screen says "rooted HTC glacier"...)

so im wondering if theres a way to make it so that the splash screen doesnt show AT ALL.. like show a blank white screen or something when u turn it on.

is that possible?

thx

remember.. i cant rly flash anything.. (cwm cache recovery errors ugh!)

and also...basically, i want to delete the splash screen

completely.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Run the pd15 zip through hboot. That will get rid of the custom splash and put the stock one back.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
possible.

If you load the PD15IMG on the device and it says anything about a "failed-PU" then you are stuck. with the splash image you currently have.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xi2wiked:
You can try going to /system/bin and deleting bootanimation
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
the boot Animation is different than the splash image. The splash image the the first image you see when the phone boots. That you cannot delete by removing the bootanimation.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PermROOT:
LOL you people are way to funny... His problem escalated from can't mount recovery corruption to failed partition update. So PD15IMG.zip (stock rom/radio) is useless. I need to take some time and do extended research just on this and not get distracted. Maybe if I can get my hand on another 3rd MT4G I can compare both and see what happens. For now he is stuck only thing he can do is fry the mobo as suggest in his other thread so POS won't turn on period.

There are a few variants of the 'original' S7 and the more recently released S7 Slim. First has a resistive screen second has a capacitive.

Hello,

I recently got an S7 Slim. It is a great device, especially for the price point. My only complaint is that the BB version does not come with an active SIM slot. Who knew?

Can you tell me how you rooted your Slim? I have tried oneclick z4 and universal and have not been able to get access.

Thanks
[Ideos S7 Accessories] Entropy512:
What do you mean? The BB version's SIM slot is fully active.

However the baseband radio firmware that ships with the device has SEVERE bugs that cause the cellular radio to fail in many circumstances. For me, the device only worked in towers with the same area code as my SIM.

The Froyo (2.2) ROMs had new baseband firmware that fixed most if not all of these problems. USA customers never officially saw them, but the Indonesian 2.2 ROM works well on our devices - look at joenilan's ROM in the Development section, it has a link to the Indo 2.2 update.

Edit: Sorry, ooops, missed that you had a Slim and not the original S7. Yeah, I don't believe the Slim has any 3G capability.

One small problem though. There is a green bar at the top while playing videos for some reason.. but it's common on many other devices so hopefully there will be a fix for it soon. It appears to be related to your internet connection speed and additional green bars appear the slower the connection is. People claim there only fix is to run it on CyanogenMod 7 ROM (still not available for Arc.. yet).

I have searched extensively without success to see if a fix for the green line has been developed.

It streams fine with 2.3.2 and after the 2.3.3 update but the green line not only discolors the screen but also seems to shift the color pattern on the video. Sound is perfect and playback speed is perfect.

Does anyone know of a fix?
