Hi,

I'm pretty new with this Android device,

My friend sent me an Application that making the battery indicator shows percentage.

But the icon is added as extra and not replacing the original.

When I asked him how his Galaxy S's got the percentage indicator replacing the original he said something that I need to do it from boot something and its a little complicate.

Any way, I searched a little and found out this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775970

So I saw there are 4 ways to do it.

I tried the second one through the Astro, but couldn't find any "System" folder any where.

Started searching on the SD card, then went to "asec"? .. and also found nothing.

So I went to the first option and as the first level says: Download the ROM you are using.

So my phone's software is not original (bought from a advance programmer dude)

And I don't know exactly what ROM I got, so how I check that out?

On Settings > About phone > Software info:

It says:

Kernal: 2.6.35.13 LeeDrOiD GB V3.0.3

Build #: 2.36.405.8

Software #: LeeDrOiD_HD_GB_3.0.3

Thats the main important I think.

So if you can help me, in any way, I would very appreciate it.

Thanks,

Yarden.

you bought LeeDorid ROM? its free in the Development Section, go back to him and take back your money!!!!

But anyway, just go to the KITCHEN WEBSITE, click on 'File Upload' and either choose your ROM (if its in the kitchens list) or upload the ones it tells you to upload).

The just add the MODs you want, and flash it!

[Desire HD General] mcjordan92:
Haha, no I meant I bought the mobile from an advanced programmer and of course he had it on before I bought it (secondary hand mobile)

And thank you for the explanation, I think I understand, I picked up a battery icon, then selected the leedroid HD 3.0.3 then summery..

Now I'm waiting for it to be prepared..

And then I'll just go through the guide in the link you added..
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
hahahaa, good!

[Desire HD General] mcjordan92:
I just finished and it works!!

Haha its easier then I thought (of course I understand that other people did the hard work for me).. but it actually works! ! :D

Thank you very much..

btw I'm going to do it again cuz I picked an ugly icon :P
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
i meant to click quick reply, but have a free thanks!..lol

Yea, its addictive and easy!, when i first discovered it i did it 4 times :D

I just flashed the stock .kdz firmware for my optimus T, and it's now stuck at the android logo bootscreen. it's been stuck this way for +10 minutes, and it's lasting far longer than i've ever seen a custom rom take. Should I be worried? Should I try to reflash it?

Also, I used 3gQCT and DIAG mode to flash it, was that correct?

Thank you, but the stuff in that post is just the steps I already took. I'm wondering why I'm still stuck on the android logo screen. I've tried reflashing about 3 times now, and it still gets stuck at the same screen for 20 plus minutes.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] michael.ahdett:
Yeah, it's pretty much premanently stuck at the android boot screen. The LG one, and then the T-Mobile one load up and finish animating just fine, but then it get's to the final bootscreen, the one that just says "android". I have no idea what to do, please help!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zeri1133:
It happened a similar situation to me I tried to update and got stuck at android logo screen.

1- very important the battery to be full

2- use kdz and possibly plain vanilla room

worked for me now I got 2.2.2 and waiting for GB
[Optimus One, P500, V General] landry001:
Just pull out the battery and try again! My first boot took at least 5 hours and it still stuck at "android" screen.

I tried three times and the third time works.

Good luck!

Also, try the (stock) recovery - Home + VolDown + Power; should wipe whatever interferes with normal working and reboot normally when done.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] crashff:
The official flashing utility has three different modes of operation. one of them is an emergency override flash that works on bricked phones with the stock KDZ file. The stock KDZ will have all the apps and everything; so there wont be any need to do a reset. you'll just have to reconfigure your phone.

Make sure you have V10L kdz file, as that is the most current one for use on the TMo's Optimus T.

When you run it, the screen on the phone will turn yellow and say emergency operation or something close to that effect. (i've had to do it a few times from bricking my pone, but not in a long time, so I forgot the exact wording)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Scottygrot:
Hey guys,

New to this whole world of flashing devices and have been browsing for days trying to learn and understand all the different terms associated, so please forgive me if i say something that doesn't make any sense :p

Trying to upgrade my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), Rom version: 1.14 WWE (put my phone into bootloader and the SPL is 1.14), was trying to update my phone which is when i came across cooking roms and updating them via flashing, have read Digital Outcast's Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL], decided i wanted to follow the HSPL which is when i came across

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=671277

and wanted to install the 'blackSTONEhenge HyPer MaxSense' Rom, said i needed RADIO ROM version 1.14 or above, my stock standard HTC has RADIO Version 1.09, which meant i had to try and flash my devices radio rom.

What im not sure is this HSPL, i dont fully understand if im supposed to try and get/put HSPL on my phone before i do any flashing/ im not sure if HSPL is the 'thing' that allows flashing to become capable...

If someone could help me out as i have been browsing the forums for a few days and its driving me nuts as usually i would have worked it out by now!

Cheers,

Scott

Go to this link

dont get confused

1.just download "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip" from "Attached files".

and unzip in a empty folder.

2.connect your phoneto pc via active sync.

3.run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe, click yes/next/ok(sorry dont remember what was it, you phone will restart in bootloader (three color screen and hspl will be done automatically.

thats it.

now flash any radio or rom of ur choice.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
nice explanation, just let me add some newbie information:

basically, what you are facing, is flashing three things:

1. you flash hspl, which means that your device will be unlocked for roms of all carriers and all countries, and you will be permanently ready to switch roms any time you want, as it remains in your phone, whatever you do (hard reset, flashing a stock rom, whatever).

2. the radio rom, the radio is the bridge between the windows mobile operating system and the hardware. this is responsible for the fact, that for example switching on wi-fi is done with the same button on any device, independent from which wi-fi card is actually installed. it controls wi-fi, gsm, 3.5G communications, bluetooth, camera and sound input and output. the latest radio for the blackstone is 1.17 (.25.09 i believe). it offers the best quality in all beforementioned services, but drains slightly more power than previous versions, due to higher performance.

as there is actually yet another stepping stone between the OS and the radio, rilphone.dll, it is advised to use a new radio with the cooked roms offered here. most chefs integrate a new rilphone.dll in their roms and they work best with the corresponding radio rom.

3. in the end, you will flash the actual OS rom that changes your operating system, possibly the language, the manila version and everything else. just like formatting your windows xp pc and installing windows 7, your apps, settings and personal information (in this case contacts, appointments, sms...) will be gone.

for it to work, you must flash hspl first, or your device will be unable to accept actual roms, and then proceed with the radio, and before flashing the actual OS rom (in your case blackstonehenge), you should perform a task 29, either you can flash it (see task 29 thread), or use mtty or use advanced ruu, which has an extra option to do it.

this was just a basic introduction to make it easier for you, to understand, what you are actually doing, when attempting to flash, the rest and all the steps to take are in the tutorials, i just find it easier to do, when you actually know, why you do certain steps, helps you remember for the next time.

Ok thanks guys for the responses, and especially chef_tony's, cheers.

P.s. Sorry for the complicated response below, its hell to read :confused:

I have tried to follow:

Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

And it hasn't worked, when I follow the HSPL steps I get to step (HSPL2c) and it just sits on 0% and give an Error [262] code (this is the section where we try to flash Blackstone_156OliNex to the device.

The tutorial says: run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe, which then tells us to establish an activesync connection, which i think means we have to get the bootloader mode to USB, in order to get the bootloader to USB Mode I have to connect my phone to the pc before running the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and leaving it connected to the pc to A) establish the activesync connection(Windows device centre doesn't register the phone as connected whilst in bootloader) then B) get the bootloader mode the USB.

So what i have done:

So the phone is connected to the pc, activesync registers the phone(leaving the phone connected i then),

place it into bootloader (shows USB Mode)

Then run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe (i run it as an administrator)

the program tells me to establish an activesync connection (Windows device centre doesn't register the phone while its in bootloader, which dummies guide tells us to do), i dont know how to establish an activesync connection whilst the phone is in bootloader, so anyway i hit next, next and just click update the rom, and it just sits at 0% and give an Error [262]

Im not sure if the reason for this error is because i haven't put HSPL on the device, im still not 100% sure about the whole HSPL, i think all i have to do for this is run the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe ?? then is the HSPL issue sorted? :confused:

Thanks again guys,

Scott

Dis-regard this post
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
easy thing. i had the same issue when attempting to install hspl for the first time. as described in the tutorial post you mentioned, i went to the part troubleshooting:

Troubleshooting - manual SSPL

- Boot up your phone.

- Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.

- Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.

- When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.

- Go to step HSPL3 if successful.

with this extra step it worked for me, because installing sspl directly on your phone, it prevents 262 connection errors and unlocks the device temporarily which makes it easier to install hspl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Scottygrot:
Thanks again chef,

ok i connected my phone, then copied the SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to my device, run it and it loads into bootloader, shows spl 1.07OilNex, doesn't show USB no matter how long i wait, i unplug it and don't get serial mode either :confused:

Tried re connecting it and still no USB or serial mode comes up :\

I had tried following the troubleshooting tutorial before i posted on here for help :(

Should i try running the HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe without USB mode showing?

and really appreciate all the help,

Scott

Following with interest

Tony and Scot enjoying the posts and hoping to pick up a few pearls of wisdom before upgrading. I have played around with my Touch HD and had it dual booting with android from SD card. For some reason I can no longer use my camera in wm 6.1.

I can not find camera.exe cab and was considering upgrading to wm 6.5 to see if that solves the problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Scottygrot:
Billy, im just stabbing at the dark here, but im guessing if you do flash your device to wm 6.5, during the installation of the upgrade, you're .exe for the camera will be re installed and should work again. Gdluck
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Billycoff:
Upgrading to wm 6.5

Probably right Scotty, I just want to make sure I don't brick the phone for the sake of getting my camera to work again. Have you managed to complete the upgrade?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Scottygrot:
Haven't yet, just waiting for some words of wisdom from tony :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bodisson:
I also had Error [262] when tried to apply HSPL last week.

But, I applied USPL path to install HSPL! :)

So I entered USPL and started HSPL install.

Then process finished without any problems.

And it's working excellent... now on the 3rd ROM since appliing HSPL... :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
good idea, the most important thing is to get a stable connection for the bootloader, and if uspl makes it easier to install hspl, i would definitely give it a try. as posted before, depending on your soft branding, first installing hspl can be a hassle, however, once it's done, you never have to deal with it again (which is also, why many long term blackstone users including myself hardly remember, how to go about changing the spl).

also, since you mentioned that in sspl, you didn't see serial or usb in bootloader mode, make sure that your connection is actually stable. in bootloader mode, windows needs another driver for the device from what is used to sync the device (when it is switched on). especially, when using windows vista or windows 7, you should have a look at the thread "[tut] dummies guide: updating htc sync drivers".

especially on windows 7 x64 it can be quite a lot of work to get it running, because these drivers are not digitally signed, so you'd have to sign them yourself, which requires permanent test mode and comes with a watermark on your desktop, which, in turns, can be removed again. in that case, i would advise you to try a windows xp pc first to get your device up and running and you can deal with this later.

so, in short form:

1. in case you use windows vista or 7 and haven't dealt with the driver yet, have a look at the link to the tutorial or use a windows xp pc with activesync installed.

2. if you are positive that drivers cannot be the issue, or you successfully updated them, step forward and try the "uspl to install hspl" method, bodisson suggested.

So, I have the xperia play on Verizon. It most definitely does have a slot for a SIM card, just underneath the sd card slot. There is a piece of plastic glued in place over it blocking its use. Anybody know what its use is for? If this phone was unlocked, could it be a world phone? Anybody know anything yet?

Thanks.

Maybe it's just that they use the same housing as for the normal version but there is no working electronics.

just checked, must be disabled in the firmware cuz it has the pins to use it, but doesn't register anything when i put a sim card in it.

you should try flashing a generic rom like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097591

maybe it'll enable gsm?
[Xperia Play General] ace518:
Well, if we can load a generic firmware, we might get it activated. Then we could get an EMEI number to unlock the bootloader. In the mean time... bootloader is still locked so we can't flash nothing on it.

also if you look at the back there is a black sticker to the right of the cam it looks like the same conector that the thunderbolt uses to connect to the batty cover for its 4g signal could it be able to upgrade to 4g with the sim slot and the external conector

update: pulled off the sticker more i was wrong its the vibrate motor it looked like a connector with the tape half off

Samsung Fascinate (SCH-I500)

Firmware 2.2.1

Kernel 2.6.32.9

On Verizon.

Hardware version I500.04

I also installed Rom Manager and it told me my phone wasn't rooted. :-(

Should I just go ahead and go thru these instructions again? Someone said something about it not sticking if you don't install a custom rom. If that's so, it seems the Evil is the best rom.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Does A2DP relate to Bluetooth Voice Dialing where it asks you to "Speak Now" and plays back the name you've given? If so, that would explain why Bluetooth Voice Dialing is jacked when trying out any 2.3 Roms... if not...
