[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevlarTheGreat:
I've been running Android for quite a while but after the last ROM I flashed, my touch screen stopped working (display still works, buttons still work, just not the touch input). I flashed everything back to Windows mobile including the SPL.

In general it still didn't work but it it did decide to work a couple times randomly after that then stopped working for good (seems like intermittent hardware). I just received a new HD2 from T-Mobile on warranty. I just want to make sure that everything is back the way it's supposed to be on the old one so they don't say it's my fault.

When I hold down the volume down key and go to bootloader, there are two differences between my old phone and the new one. I'm worried that T-Mobile will know that I messed with it. Are the following differences OK?

New Phone

SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50

Old Phone

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(TOUCH) 0.40

I'm especially worried about the TOUCH version. Anyone know what this means? Is it a HW version or a SW version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamsn:
When you unlock the phone using HSPL only the SPL line is affected, which in case of yours seems fine.
[Nook Color General] angomy:
Just curious to see how many people would "trade-up" to the newer model *if* (very small chance I know) B&N announces tomorrow that they're releasing a faster and more full featured tablet/reader.

I'm of two minds about it, if it ends up being a new NC (which I doubt myself) that is better than the current NC, it'll probably cost $50-100 more, in which case why not just get one of the dedicated tablets out on the market? (Or wait for Amazon's quad core Hollywood tablet..)

What do you think?
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
I would wait for Hollywood, hell even Coyote. I don't really have money to just throw around myself, so even if they did release a newer Nook Color, I doubt it would be a big enough difference in performance or features to make me go buy it tomorrow.

In fact, with the possibility of Hollywood being only $450 at launch and from amazon (who you know is going to go out of their way to make sure they have plenty in stock) I may not even trade up to the Iconia or Transformer this fall like I had wanted to.

Which kind of sucks since the wife wants a Nook color now. (Was going to give her mine...)
[Nook Color General] angomy:
Supposedly (PCMag article) Amazon "might" be pricing the 7-inch Coyote tablet a $349 and the 9.7-inch Hollywood tablet at $449 (assuming lowest storage price). If Amazon throws in free 3G for apps downloads I'm sold (doubt it though since their cloud computing mp3/streaming video would end up costing them a pretty penny with free 3G).
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
You wouldn't jump on a tegra 4 tablet for $449 unless it has free 3g? :rolleyes:

The new Nook!

Not a tablet - but a touch based e-reader:

[Nook Color General] innosia:
its a cheap tablet, only cost 169$, so cheap that it must have cut down many hardware inside it.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Very nice, I'm very pro supporting BN so if their new reader has decent battery life, I'll probably buy it over the kindle in the near future.

here is the article about the new nook:

[Nook Color General] FRSP:
Doesn't sound like it has a lot to recommend it compared to nc, but we can still spend a few days speculating if it will boot from SD card... perhaps there are some applications where a "paperback" android device would be useful, especially if the disaffected sell them lightly used in the $100 range.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Press release says nook color now $169 list. Time for a second one to play with!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20065678-264.html

EDIT: Went to the blog of the news conference and the reporter was wrong. NC is not lowered in list price! It is the 3g version of the old original nook that is $169. Bummer.
[Nook Color General] huskerpat:
Correction, the original nook 3g is now 169. nook color is unchanged.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Touch screen e-ink? 80% less flashing (supposedly)? sd card? I'm sold. I wonder how long it takes to get it hacked and someone throw as a browser on there. e-ink touchscreen browser, even if just black and white, aounds very intriguing to me. Especially if it's better than the kindle's experimental browser.
[Nook Color General] RigWig:
this also assumes bn didn't take the hint from the first nc and locks the thing down like a bunker. Not to say there are some great devs out there but it would severley limit progress. This comming from a droid 2. Locked bootloaders = :mad:
[Nook Color General] artcwolf:
I'd stay where i'm at right now. Working on saving money for a true tablet, but i like my NC as it is with HC now.
[Nook Color General] s0ma:
Why trade up? The Nook Color does everything I need it to do... IN COLOR. Running CM7 or phiremod is the icing on the cake...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pzvv:
Ok I tried installing the new frozen rom and it wasnt booting after like 15 minutes. So I just pulled the battery and did a nandroid backup from my stock rom because I just rooted yesterday. But after the nandroid the rom just goes back into recovery every time i restart it. Even after a battery pull it does the same thing.

Please help!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Did you have an EXT4 nandroid backup as well?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sponged...not bricked. You cannot restore a full RFS nandroid on an EXT4 file system. You should use Titanium to back up apps and data. You can use the nandroid to restore data only in the advanced section. You can also try restoring the nand of beforeExt4 or whatever it is called.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
What version of Clockwork is it from? Before 3.0.2.5 the kernel was not backed up so you have the corrupt kernel still after the restore. Restore your nandroid and flash another kernel before booting like Genocide and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
What is with everyone saying there phone is bricked? A brick means no recovery and no download mode. Use odin or heimdall to flash a tar. Or try to flash something else from recovery

[Nexus S General] joebags:
Running latest nightly cm7 (5). With netarchy's latest kernel. Using handcent for text.

When sending text under 160 everything works great. Once going over causing a split, the recipients of my text gets gibberish. Scrambled letter and symbols. Is anyone else getting this? Both my phone and my brother's phone do the same thing, so I know you should get the same results if you use the same setup as me. My question is why and what can we do to fix it?
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
I have read about this before but not actually experienced it yet (no long texts). I am running CM7 on my ns4g. I heard the simple solution was to go into your sms settings and simply select to have the app split up your texts at 160 characters.

Oh - sorry - you are using handcent. forgot. I just use cm7 sms app. hmmm. not sure. handcent doesn't have the same option?
[Nexus S General] joebags:
Handcent has those options. They don't do anything. I ran cm7 on my evo with handcent, never had this problem before. So I'm thinking its a phone specific problem.
[Nexus S General] eagercrow:
Search is your friend :)

Its a CDMA issue. Have your texts split up into multiple txts at the 160 character count. There is even a setting in Handcent that says something about compatibly with CDMA
[Nexus S General] joebags:
i have used both settings in handcent for splitting by character and by word at the 160 limit. neither of them seem to work. the recipient receives two texts but it's all gibberish. I never once had this problem on my evo which is cdma also. both phones ran CM and handcent. I've gone through each and every setting in handcent and CM to double check I wasn't missing something. regardless it should work without me changing a setting to allow long texts. It is something that needs to be fixed.

What i'm thinking the problem is, is a setting that was forgotten to change from the gsm phones in the sms settings.

I just installed Miui, using the stock sms app from that it still scrambles the texts over 160. It says it's sending two texts, but something is horribly wrong on the receiving end of the text. So i'm pretty sure it's not a problem with handcent settings. It's the fact that these roms are ported from the GSM NS and we're missing something yet.

I'm going to install a stock image after work today and confirm that it works on stock roms.

I'm very shocked no one else has complained about this. I have two NS4G phones both of which have the same symptoms.
[Nexus S General] joebags:
Just confirmed that 160+ sms messages send fine from a stock os on the ns4g. using stock messaging or handcent.

Using CM or Miui is causing gibberish to come through. There seems to be a problem using non stock based roms at the moment.
[Nexus S General] eagercrow:
That is interesting. I had the problem, but I resent the same exact text except I broke it into 2 smaller sms and it was received fine. I can't remember what rom that was though, because I've been through so many and havent heard of the issue since I setup the automatic split sms in handcent.

If you go to Fota in internals menu and Type something in there than bada crashes and you have got the upload mode (light bluascreen than only restart with key). but how to communicate with the device, i had not found any tool on the GSPN from samsung.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
Try to memcpy RAM from 0x20000000 and 0x40000000 in S8500/8530.

Under the first one address you should find 128MB (0x8000000) of oneDRAM and under the second one 256MB (0x10000000) of SDRAM.

A small doubt:

http://dev.odroid.com/wiki/odroid-t/pds/FrontPage/s_blockdiagram.jpg

Does LPDDR1 corresponds to SDRAM?:confused:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
SDRAM is kind of RAM, widely used in computers nowadays

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_dynamic_random_access_memory

LPDDR is subtype of SDRAM designed for mobile phones, that is Low-Power Ram.

I'm not sure if thats LPDDR1 or LPDDR2 in Waves.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] jake792:

I will try to "convert":

I9000_s1_odin_20100803.pit

Few mistakes later, I am here...

Forgotten bada 2 has different PIT... with 9 partitions... :rolleyes:

I think today I can fix the minor red marked differences...

Then I have template PIT file for other stupid tests... :D

Best Regards
