[G1 General] profspudhed:
been messing about with the g1 a bit, flashing various roms and whatnot but i seem to be getting some very odd problems, for example when restoring the backup i took before messing about today it simply wont boot past the g1 screen, so i switched to a backup made yesterday and it booted, so i stuck my custom boot anim on and restarted, now it wont boot past the boot anim, it just keeps looping the animation forever

ive done full wipes with ohsaka and wiped data and cache but no change, what concerns me is that by all rights the backups should load fine right? i mean they were working perfectly before and all i have done is restore it (which worked fine yesterday) even in the case above surely changing the boot animation shouldnt have an effect on the phone actually booting should it. anyone else had previously working backups suddenly not work?
[G1 General] jianC:
You said you stuck your custom boot animation on and it started boot looping? Maybe that is the problem? Try it without.
[General Questions and Answers] HTCPetter:
Hey guys. I've got the Desire for like a year now. And it's not alot of great ROMs for the normal Desire. Can someone please make a Thunderbolt ROM for it ? And you know that new Thunderbolt, Mecha, Incredible HD or whatever it's called. I want you hackers to make a Thunderbolt ROM. And please don't make a fake look-a-like copy. Originally port or copy the ROM. And I live in Norway and do not have Verizon. So please unlock the ROM for all-over-the-world operators. And can you also modify the E, H and 3G icons to 4G only. Cuz I don't have a 4G network and it will look cool to have a 4G icon on H (Super-3G) and E (Edge).

This part is off-the-topic (but please read):

I'm a 13 year old computer nerd, so I love to get new stuff. (like ROMs). I've done alot of hacking. I booted Mac OS X into my eMachines E525 Notebook. But then I relized that mac sucks. I have also done Ubuntu, which is easy to do. But that sucked too. I've hacked games both computer and Xbox 360, but my mom don't want me to open and mod and JTag -.-'. So please don't be so rough with me and make me and other readers a very, very stable Thunderbolt ROM for our Desire G7 A18181 (that's the normal Desire of course, haha! Just a longer name, no Z, HD or S) Post a reply here if you've made a ROM and a list in the replay with over bugs, specs and a blue download link, etc.

You may get more responses if you make this request in the Thunderbolt or Desire forum
[General Questions and Answers] cjward23:
Are you being serious? There are loads and loads of roms availble for the Desire, for an older handset it has some great development. Thundebolt ROM may not of been ported due to hardware limitations. New sense roms are huge and some older handsets simply don't have the memory availble to install them.

[Defy General] HugoHirni:
Hi,

what i did so far:

1) I came from 2.1 Eclair original Stock ROM from T-Mobile Germany (JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 Blur Tmobile --OTA updated to--> JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 Blur Tmobile)

2) Replaced Stock Rom with Nordic 3.4.2-177-005 by using this Guide: [FAQ] Cyanogenmod 7 by Quarx [7) How to install CM7 and keep downgrade-ability? (Froyo or Eclair]

3) Downgrade to my original Backup of Eclair with Nandroid/fixed SBF from the Guide above.

4) Installed Nordic 3.4.2-177-005 ROM without CM (Nandroid/Fixed SBF)

5) Finally installed Leaked 4.5.1_85 / android 2.3.3 / Orange GB (Nanbroid/Fixed SBF)

Now if I want to use Custom Recovery its not working anymore... My Android 2.3.3 Device is Rooted, System Recovery said "Installation complete" if I tab on Install Recovery System. But if I tab Recovery Boot the Device Reboots but stucks with an Black Screen with Backlight on ....

I read some more posts on the 4.5.1_85 rom and installed the bootmenu_v0.8.6.update.zip via Stock Backup (hold VolDown while switching on, press VolUp and VolDown simultaniusly after Android Logo apeares).

But that "fix" doesn´t work for me...

Seems that my preffered method to recover my old Eclair doesn't work anymore... How to get my old Nandroid Backup back?

If I turn my Device on, it shows first a white Motorola Icon (like in Eclair) than after a short time it shows the new red Motorola Icon with animations... and starts the working 4.5.1_85 rom ... i can launch the Bootloader for RSD (VolUp) or Stock-Recovery (VolDown) but not custom Recovery...

Greetings HH
[Defy General] HugoHirni:
[Fixed] Back to Stock

Ok,

took me a while, but now I'm back to Stock Eclair^^

Here is what worked for me:

- install 2ndInit for Defy from the Market

- re install Bootloader via 2ndInit (may not be nessesary)

- boot normal ... than deinstall bootloader via 2ndInit

- reboot

- install Recovery System via System Recovery (Custom Recovery)

- boot Recovery System (now works again)

- restore Backup from 2.1

- replace fixed sbf with rsd (restart, VolUP...)

Greetings HH

Seams for me, that System Recovery (Custom Recovery) App is not working with 2ndInit + Gingerbreed^^
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
So I have been reading over in the development forums and it seems like a lot of users are having issues restoring backups with jt's recovery.

Most of them have ended up with bricked phones and no way to fix it cuz we are still lacking a full odin package for the charge.

Has anyone had success doing a restore in CWM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
Anyone? Please
[Verizon Droid Charge] boostedjti:
This is something I'm going to get with imnuts on to fix. Just waiting for my charge to come in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
Ok I figured someone would be working on it I just didnt know if everyone was affected by it or just a few people because i havent seen much talk about it. Also I figured maybe we should put a warning up so more people dont attempt to restore just to end up with a bricked phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
I made a post similar to this in the cwm thread. Thanks for posting it up here too. I have a feeling it's more then just user error, which is the first thing everyone wants to blame something on, and typically the case. Just not feeling like this is the same situation. Good lookin out for everybody!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Z51:
It sucks for them but we really do need the odin package just in case for future bricks lol

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Based on the one post I saw, it seems like it has to do with restoring /data with the error message that popped up. I'd guess that this is an issue with CWM, but it is hard to say for certain. For now though, I'd just avoid restoring anything, and it's this reason I'd rather use Titanium backup to back up stuff than CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I have read in the past that part of the agreement the mfg's have is they need to release source code, does that actually get us a Stock Odin image or not?

I am used to getting the sbf for Moto or the RUU for HTC, but not familiar with Samsung's willingness and position on this.

Not sure where the stock ODIN images have come from, but tech support @ verizon should have access to them, should only be a matter of time b4 one gets leaked
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Odin images are not source code, they are binary files. The Odin images come from Samsung, but there are people that have access to them at VZW. Getting a full stock Odin would have to come from one of the two places.

[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
Since you're in Korea with a phone i'm assuming you know enough Korean to navigate and sign up for this site.

http://matpclub.com/s/p3

Search for your model number: M250L

There's only been one firmware dump (the original) to my knowledge since this particular model isn't very popular. Use an insecure kernel to root first then flash the original kernel back when you've finished rooting.

You can find the original kernel on matpclub and an insecure kernel either here or on matpclub. Check the 'Development' subforum for more information.

Any help?
[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
You guys really need to learn how to navigate matpclub. All the required files are there. Just plug in your model number into the search bar and most likely there'll be stock firmwares, modified and stock kernels, among other things.

I've uploaded the files for the SHW-M250K here. Files for the M250K and M250L you can find on matpclub. I'll upload them somewhere when I get back home.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068307

This will work for ALL versions:

Flash a rooting kernel; secure, insecure, results-in-a-boot-loop, it won't matter as long as you can get Superoneclick to successfully root your phone.

Once you've done that, flash the stock samsung kernel for your model of phone and the same firmware number. If your firmware doesn't have a separate kernel released then you can flash an older one, it'll work but i'm not sure what side-effects it'll have.

Keep in mind this is a very basic root only method. They've got other things going on at matpclub but I haven't gotten around to reading through it all yet.

BTW that kernel (same with all i9100 kernels) will most likely result in your phone going into a boot loop. To fix it you have to flash the kernel meant for your specific model; S, K or L.

for some reason the only buttons that seem to be working are the volume buttons.

Thanks for the heads up about kies but everytime I use Odin I do check if it´s running and I always stop it.
[Galaxy S II General] Nasar123:
I put my SIM card on and turned it on and after a few minutes I was able to see the lock screen. I unlocked the phone but all I see is the stats bar at the top (battery, network...) but the rest of the screen is black. I could slide the bar but nothing else worked.

I think I froze something with titanium and now on startup, even though I flashed the right file titanium is freezing something important and I can´t use the phone.

Is there any way I can reboot the phone without it running titanium?
[Galaxy S II General] charon420:
you are able to boot into the phone right? Can you enter phone numbers? If so you can try a phone reset code but doing so will erase all your data and apps... And hopefully fix what ever titanium is doing to prevent your phone from working correctly. The code is *2767*3855# .. After you do that it might resolve the error .

When I did boot my phone I couldn´t enter the phone numbers.

[Galaxy S II General] charon420:
Hi .. The TV function for the Korean versions is DMB technology.. As far as I know its pretty much unique to Korea itself( i think somewhere in china too but have no clue whereㅠㅠ). However I was using the same flash upgrade as you plus one.. And I cant be sure but I feel the battery life is well extended than before... (actually first time i havent had to recharge overnight.. Was quite surprised)
[Galaxy S II General] Nasar123:
The TV will work in China but only one channel (i think its CCTV news) which is broadcast in DMB.

I definitely noticed the battery seems have been extended a bit, although in my case it didn´t last 2 days as some people have suggested.

Seems like the battery lasts slightly longer here too, but I can't be sure; watch videos all the time. =\

Same thing open the zip using windows explorer, right click open with windows explorer... thats how I opened the one from dabins lab that also has a split zip... after that just drag the contents to a folder. Not the same folder where the zip file is otherwise it will give you an error then using odin. Put it in pda field, if there is a pit use the pit file and tick repartition... your phone should be in download mode before you plug it to your computer and flash away

PS. Using pit is reported to be dangerous as it can brick device, in my case I had no choice as I flashed without pit phone wouldn't boot after using pit phone worked like a charm and was an i9100 version and thats follwing from dabins lab, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF THE GUIDE YOU CHOSE AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE

accelerometer/magnetometer fix

People running I9100 firmware might have noticed that the compass and rotational sensor are incorrect on an M250x-device. – The sensor actually is the same (drivers do work), but it is positioned different within the phone, so the readings are wrong.

I got it working again, but taking one file of an M250x firmware and dropping it in my i9100 installation.

I’m running an CyanogenMod 10.2 Nightly (from before final came out), which is an Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean). I went fishing from the latest M250K firmware I found, something with M250KKKJMG1, if I recall correctly. That firmware was 4.1.x (also Jelly Bean). I do recall that file(s) from a firmware too far off didn’t work.

Which file? /system/lib/hw/sensors.smdk4210.so

As the file doesn’t overwrite anything on CyanogenMod, I asked myself, how does it hook into the system. It turned out that the HAL subsystem tries to dlopen() several libraries until it succeeds. And the sensors.smdk4210.so is tried before sensors.exynos4.so. Both then in turn open libakm.so to actually prepare talking to the sensors. Well, I can’t be sure of what the sensors.smdk4210.so does, because there is no source code available...

I also believe that it would be possible to adapt the sources of the open sensors code to just do the rotation recalculation, with no need to dig into any M250x firmware. (The real driver libakm.so would still be binary-only, but the same for both Galaxy S2 devices.)
