[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
My sister once had a bad 3G SIM card that would only work on EDGE. We were right by an EDGE/3G border, so we could take 3 steps forward and have a working phone in the EDGE zone, or 3 steps back into 3G and have nothing. :P

My Tilt phone worked fine in both "zones," so I put in her SIM and had no signal in the 3G area, heh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] codyperez86:
Oh.. well if the problem is persistant ill just get then to make me another similar :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] nathisme:
Uh oh...

Same problem for me here as well. Running CM7, was working fine until later in the evening when suddenly the network "died", and after several reboots noticed the little SIM problem icon next to the signal meter. I had the card locked, but went into settings and unlocked it. Now, logically if the phone couldn't read the card then technically I shouldn't have been able to change the PIN, so...

Confused over here. Is there a known fix to this? Or worse - how do I broach the subject with ATT if I have to go in?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lostarchon:
I don't know about the fix about it, but concerning talking with AT&T, I'd recommend calling Warranty exchange first. They'll let you go through some hoops like getting your imei and possibly cleaning out your sim card with a rubber eraser. They'll also run some network tests on your phone to see if there are any "down towers" in your area. In the end, just request for a replacement sim card from them and have them note on your account that you want to get it free. Ask for confirmation if it's in your account, then head for the nearest AT&T corporate store. They'll tell you you'll have to pay $25 to get a replacement sim card or something, but just say that warranty sent you and it's noted on the account: should get you your sim for free, if possible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
I have never had a problem getting a new sim card for free from a corporate store. Just go in and ask for one.

Hi, first the baseband download in StreakDroid 2.0.0 Thread is down, if someone can repost it, it will be perfect.

On the other handsite I would like to know, if I should flash these new version?

I use it in Europe/Germany and my actually basband is:GAUSB1A131800-EU

So should I flash it? Does it work in Germany? :D

Thnak you
[Streak 5 General] Kumouri:
You don't need to flash a new baseband. Steve took it down because engineering basebands are really power hungry.
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
Might I suggest that before you mess with it you take the time to read the thread on v2.0.

In it (several times, in fact) was mentioned that the amss was pulled. You don't need it. There is a different baseband to use.

Go read the thread and you will find most of your answers there.

[Defy General] Nietzschean:
Hi guys.

I just got a defy, first smartphone I have so I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just trying to follow what seems to be the most popular guide to put CM7 on it.

Current question:

1) How do I check whether my phone is rooted properly?

2) In settings -> applications - > manage applications -> All > I can see SndInitDefy in the list (also under Dowloaded tab). If I click on it I can choose "uninstall". Could I do something wrong by uninstalling it and then installing it again?

Replies are greatly appreciated as I'm waiting for somebody to help me out so i can continue :o

Previous questions (solved):
[Defy General] Carnivoro:
Check lastest Motorola drivers. If not work, change to another pc to test.
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
Thanks for the reply.

I installed all the drivers and managed to root it.

I'm wondering, should I do anything besides just plugging in the phone and trying to run the program, or should i somehow get it into "bootloader mode", I've read that somewhere but not sure...
[Defy General] sp8y:
Yes you need the phone in bootloader.

To do that turn the phone off & then press & hold the volume UP button then press the power ON button. The phone will then go into bootloader & you can then connect the USB cable to the PC ready for RDS Lite flashing :)
[Defy General] sp8y:
Follow this great guide by Higgsy regarding the RDS flashing process - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853674
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
Alright, I got it into bootloader mode and the phone itself says

Battery ok

ok to program

transfer mode:

usb

But still no joy :(

Also, I wonder whether it's ok to use that sbf file:

JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-11_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P010_A007_HWp3_Service1FF

It says USA but I'm in Europe, does it matter? I got it from the guide mentioned in my first post, apparantly it's "the one that Quarx used"?
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
Took a look at it, he says "##WARNING: be careful when flashing 2.51 firmware, firstly its patched so root isn't achievable by the usual methods, and isn't easy to downgrade back to other firmware - I suggest you search and read the various topics on it. My advice is to use 2.21 UK or 2.34 Deblur firmware##"

I just got the phone so i'm guessing it's 2.51 firmware. Is it necessary to upgrade it first?

Also, how do I know which country my phone is from?

If I shouldn't use the version which Quarx used on a European phone, I have no idea which one to pick from these:

http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy

Some more more info about the phone:

system version: Blur_Version.2.21.0.MB525.Retail.en.GB

firmware version: 2.1-update1
[Defy General] sp8y:
OK your phone looks like it's a UK version running Blur version 2.21 & Android 2.1 eclair.

The sbf you are trying to flash - 3.4.3-11 is a UK froyo with MotoBlur (the USA bit in the filename is nothing to worry about & is OK to use) - it is a good ROM & I used to have that myself until I flashed the Nordic deblur sbf.

The warning that Higgsy mentioned was at that time version 2.51 had been released & it wasn't possible to downgrade to the older eclair versions.

I've only done a quick search in the Defy forums for the greyed out RDS Lite Start Button issue & there's some posts about it. But you could try uninstalling the RDS Lite & Moto Drivers programs then reboot your PC. Then reinstall, reboot your PC & try again with RDS Lite.

Hope this helps.
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
Alright, I'll try that and hope that works. Sucks to be so bad at stuff like this :(

Thanks man, appreciate it.
[Defy General] sp8y:
No problem hope it works out.

Have a search on the Defy forum if it doesn't work as I'm sure there's been a few others with that same problem you have.

If you can't get it to work post back on this thread & someone else may be able to suggest something that can help further :)
[Defy General] sp8y:
Here's a thread from someone with the same issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001145&highlight=rds+start+button

Have you got the RDS Lite program to run as "Administrator".
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
I went to that thread and managed to do it, apparantly the problem was that the file was not in the C:\ directory but on my desktop.

In the end I got this:

So that seems to be ok, thanks for that. Now the following steps and hoping I don't brick it or I'll be dead in the water ;)

I'm now going to try and get SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk installed via the SD card...
[Defy General] sp8y:
Great nice one :)

Let us know how you get on with flashing the CM7 - I'm still yet to install it on mine - just waiting for a newer version then I'll give it a go :)
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
I wonder: if the new version comes out, will I have to do all these steps again or how does that work?
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
New problem:

I installed 2nd initi 1.42 from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032212

I rebooted the phone, pressing volume down while it was starting, and now I get a screen with a "triangle and an exclamation mark" and the little android guy

Phone doesn't do anything, can't even turn it off by pushing the power button...

edit: figured I'd just pull out the battery and put it in again, managed to turn it on normally again but I wonder what the problem was with trying to put it into the boot menu...
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
New problem:

The guide says:

"9. boot into boot menu by pressing the vol down button when the blue LED lights up on boot up"

But I never get a blue led like this guy does:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3ZHocqB2yI

I have no idea why I'm not getting a blue led :(

Does it mean 2nd init didn't install properly or something? (it said that it did)
[Defy General] Jakethepeg:
from memory, it needs to boot up twice I think, for it to start working
[Defy General] Nietzschean:
I've rebooted 10+ times hoping to catch the led, no luck.

I would appreciate it a lot if somebody could tell me:

1) How do I check whether my phone is rooted properly?

2) In settings -> applications - > manage applications -> All > I can see SndInitDefy in the list (also under Dowloaded tab). If I click on it I can choose "uninstall". Could I do something wrong by uninstalling it and then installing it again?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacknifetoaswan:
Hello All-

I've got a rooted Thunderbolt, and last night, I flashed Lightning Rom 3.3 via RomManager. When the system rebooted, I was unable to revert back to my original Rom, since I lost root.

Is there a method to bring Clockwork up without going through RomManager? I saw something about volume down/power button, but that didn't work. Otherwise, am I pretty much screwed, and have to re-root all over again?

Thanks!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrenet:
Hi!

This morning I flashed my Atrix 4G with U4_2.1.1 SBF and then installed GreyBlur 2.1. So far, great experience... except when I realised that all SMS I sent using Unicode (Chinese or French characters) were stripped down from all the non ASCII chars!

I can receive and type unicode... so what's going on?

Thanks for your help!

Guillaume
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
If its anything like "emoji" I use on Handcent, the other person receiving the message has to have it installed as well. For example, if you have emoji plugin installed you will receive the emoji, if not you will receive gibberish. I know anyone with an iPhone can get the emoji w/o plugin.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrenet:
Thanks :)

Unfortunately, I am using the stock SMS application, hasn't gotten around to try things like Handcet yet... It used to work with the original ROM (French Orange), not sure if the culprit is 2.1.1 or GreyBlur.

I seem to remember there was a setting for the charset used in SMS, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
would like to create a germany firmware, could you provide me some guides how you get the fw files and pushed them together to a ftf?
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
First you'll need someone with a locked bootloader to download the fw for you with SEUS. In the blob_fs folder from SEUS there will be 2 big files. You have to decrypt these files with FlashTool. (Advanced -> Decrypt)

After you've done that you have to bundle the extracted files to a ftf file. (Advanced -> Bundle creation)

If you've done that, you should be able to flash it FlashTool ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rixter757:
Ok so I surfed for the benefits of the update, but I'm still wondering if it's worth it to lose my rooted device? Does anyone think the battery life is better, wifi stops quitting like it does with .2 etc?

[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
A plausible other attempt would be to use kernel.sin from .184 kernel version has not changed in this new update. That may possibly allow us to use gingerbreak.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
same result as before, flashes fine but results in boot looping... I wish I knew the method bin4ary used as he said the method im using is not the method he used.

The method i used was (same as on many android phones ive owned, minus the sin2img)

sin2img

unyaffs

patch

mkyaffs2img

is there another method to deconstruct the sin file? because if i can figure this out ill make a custom rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
it's not deconstructing that's the problem, it's rebuilding it, SE use a special method that I don't know. I rooted the last firmware about the same time Bin4ry did but I couldn't rebuild it correctly. Yaffs wont work to build this image :(
