[General Questions and Answers] AzumaK:
I don't have firsthand experience with OTA updates as I've used CM since I got my EVO but I've heard over and over again that you need to unroot. I'm not sure what will happen if you dont, but hopefully you would just lose root. Good luck! There is a flashable stock gingerbread with root in the evo dev forum.
[General Questions and Answers] :
If you want the sprint update You HAVE to unroot this will also remove your recovery

then find the stock rom

rename it PC36IMG

Go into bootloader down volume button and power then let it scan it will find the pc36img then it will ask if you want to update put yes let it do its thing when your done you should have unrooted stock rom then just install the sprint update and your good to go.

Any questions just ask.
[General Questions and Answers] yisroelg1:
Thanks! I've rooted and unrooted a couple of times already, I was just wondering what happens if I update while I'm still rooted? do I just lose root (which I anyways do) or anything else will happen?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k9plums:
not sure how a sim lock works but would rooting and installing a custom rom remove it? preferably just the rooting.

[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
My sincere apologies if this has been posted elsewhere (i can't find a thing and been looking all morning!).

I've ballsed up my HD2. Basically i tried to run sd card dual boot android thingy last night. Radio didn't upgrade as it should have and so anfroid didn't work either. So...today I tried downgrading SPL from 3.033 to 2.08.0000 so i could upgrade radio to be compatiable. To cut a long story short I used the downgrading post to do it and now i have upgrade rom error please try again. One positive note though....stuck on a lovely red green, blue and white screen (bootloader me thinks?) with spl showing as 2.08.0000.

Now....I thought i was slightly above average in terms of genereal public geeky know-how but this has certainly humbled me. I've been through the O SH*T I've bricked it (both me and the phone) and through dam....my wife will kill me, i'm now at denial thinking it will magically sort it self out (which it won't).

So please, apologies for the essay....can some help me out. Please go slow as I really can't do things without step my step instructions.

In a nutshell: can't get past bootlaoder and i wanna go for a poo because of it.

HELP!

[HD2 General] nibras_reeza:
I have no idea about HD2 but most smartphones would have a recovery option in its PC software suite. Try that if all else fails.
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
I'm not sure that would work, plus i don't think I've got the disc (had hd2 for 18months now).

It says:

HX-BC

SPL-2.08 0000 8G XE

MicroP (LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

Tried loading standard rom from htc site but after 1% it crashes.

Crashing your phone is definitely a cure for constipation!
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
HELP!!! Anyone? Tried HSPL and it didn't work, still stuck at bootloader. Have a bricked it?
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
You flashed the stock 2.08 SPL instead of Hard SPL. That is why it will not let you load another ROM.
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
Thanks for replying but, pardon my ignorance (i'm not very good at this stuff), how do I resolve this issue? is stock ROM the one that comes with the phone? I've ried putting different SPL through HSPL but stays at 2.08. What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance
[HD2 General] orangekid:
The SPL you put on there is stock, meaning locked so you cannot flash custom ROMs.

You need to run HSPL4 again, and flash HSPL 2.08 NOT SPL-2.08 0000.

THEN you can flash whatever the hell you want :cool:

Don't flash HSPL 3.03 unless you plan to just use a 3.14 based windows mobile ROM.
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
just tried that and it stops half way through process and put spl 20.8 0000 on it even though i asked for HSPL. whats wrong with it? any ideas? again, i appreciate your help. is this anything to do with radio (????what is radio??? lol)
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
now all hspl does is not do as i say, whatever i pick whether it be 2.08 stock and 2.08 hspl (or their 3.03 counterparts) it show spl of 2.08.0000.

to be honest i just want my trusty winmo back so i can make calls, to hell with android (for the moment lol)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Is it regular or tmous?

Regular - 2.x spls arent stock for regular, only tmous uses 2.x as stock, so that may be havjng an effect, though it shouldn't,,,,,

Run hspl2 (note that's hspl2) and choose 1.66.0000

If that takes ok, then go to htc.com and find a rom that your serial allows you to download and flash it.

Tmous - get latest rom from t-mobile.com and flash that. If usb flashing doesn't take try sd card flash.

In both cases if still no luck, try goldcard, pm me an emaik address and your cid and I'll make you one.

You could also try the "chill phone in bag in fridge for half hour before flashing" trick, which if it works means you have overheating issues.

Spl - any spl ending 0000 is a factory spl andwill not allow flashing except that phones stock rom.
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
just pmed you, dunno if i did it right, hopefully you got it. Unfortunatley hspl2 didn't work either, still 2.08.0000 on there. Can i work with this in any way? ie can i load another rom on rather than revert back to htc rom if it easier? This all began with wanting dual boot android/winmo but its gone belly up lol, still i suppose there are ppl that have bricked phones whch are worse off.

I don't even know how to load another rom! i'm the noob of noobs!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
From PM

ah i was afraid of it not working, , next i would suggest try hspl4, choosing 3.03.hspl or 3.03.0000, though again, i suspect the same thing,,, no change.

No real answer as to why it does that, i suspect a bad nand (memory) block, perhaps some memory flag that needs to be set but gets corrupted, , or something.

All i can suggest is trying hspl2,3 and 4 to try and change the spl to anything, , you have a regular hd2, so theres no problem, it should take any spl.

Goldcard is basically a magic sd card that makes the phone think it is in the factory, and lets you flash any STOCK rom from any region and carrier, and the phone will accept it as its correct rom. You can make them from any 4gb or smaller sd card, but i need teh CID (unique serial) of that sd card to send you the image which you write to the disk.

Problem is, getting the CID, , if you have another windows mobile phone you can use for 5 minutes that takes sd cards) then you are laughing, if you don't then you may be in trouble (although again, this is pretty unlikely to work if you really do have the stuck spl/radio problem, so if you cant make a goldcard dont lose any sleep)

Anyway, if you can get hold of a running winmo phone and connect it to your pc, then have a read HERE

http://samsamuel.co.uk/news.php?id=8

If you cant get hold of a winmo phone, then you will have to google on how to find sd cid without winmo phone, , , ,get ready for an evenings reading and frustration!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No, only stock roms will flash on 0000 spl's.

your phone, if acting normally, should always take the correct stock rom, but i have myself had issues flashing a correct stock rom when i left spl as 2.08.0000, until i downgraded to spl 1.66.0000, however the dowbgrade worked, whereas yours isnt taking.

As for which rom should always flash, go HERE and the second one down is t mo UK. If your serial gets rejected when you try to dfownload it, then its not the correct rom for that phone.

Download that, and rename teh file from filename.exe to filename.zip, then open the zip, inside is a bunch of files, one is called RUU_signed.nbh, extract that and rename it to leoimg.nbh and put it on your sd card (4gb or smaller, formatted FAT32) and reboot your phone into bootloader, where it should start to flash.
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
thanks for all your help.

At the moment its stuck on loading...has been for 15min, i think i'll reset it. I did manage to get it on another spl earlier this afternoon but it was 3.03 and i didn't think that was any good for me so changed it back. i'll keep trying to get a hspl on it, i take it that after that i can put any rom on it (cooked).

I'll try my wife's touch and see if i can make a goldcard.

Thanks again, let you know what happens.
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
jusr reset it and spl 1.66 is on there but only flashes up for a second before a white loading scren comes up. reset it a few times after that and still no joy. htc rom won't connect to it!
[HD2 General] SMILEYSINGH:
its working! the sd card was still in the phone and i had put something on there this morning (think it was a radio or something which caused loading screen to occur) windows just lkoadiong now, hopefully it will work. I'm still up for android dual booth tho lol. if this all works then i think i might wait. Samsamuel, i really appreciate your help in all this!

Thanks again!

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] eversyt:
why do'n't you use a Market or google search? :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] aq79:
I Did, currently google apps flash-able package is available for CM7 ROMs but cant find for froyo.

And another point is, i corrupted my market app.. cant download any app now :o

I think Google talk is also not available in the android market.

why i posted:

ROM developers may have it that's why i posted maybe someone can provide one.

otherwise i will extract apk from ROM and try to create update zip. might be useful for others too
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
GApps packages are only for CM Rom's (And AOSP ones), since, those ROMs by themselves do not have any Google copyrighted stuff.

Sense based ROMs do not need GApps packages because most of them include it by default. Or, even if they do not include the apps package, they include atleast the Market app,

Seeing that, as you have put, your best bet would be to extract the APK and create the Update Zip yourself.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] aq79:
Looks like there is more than corrupt application in my case. I have created and flashed update even individually installed apks and services over existing ROM but getting FC on launching the application. Setup Wizard doesn't seems to work anymore and getting FC in loops.

Some unknown system components or services also seems to be affected. I think I would need to go back and restore nandroid or reflash the ROM

time to flash a New ROM for primary use. and keeping nandroid backups for test purpose. as a Primary ROM I will prefer CM 7.0.3, Wildpuzzel freezes sometimes during a call. i have used cm7 before but for test purpose. So i till go for CM7 and look for solution to connect ad-hoc wifi
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] -Howard-:
why not just reflash your rom :) and make a backup of any data you want before hand

Does format internal sd deletes the rom too??Or just cleans the sd from all the apps and their files,?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
Just formats the mass storage part of your internal sd(where you put music and movies), it won't delete apps unless you have used apps2sd

So there is no way to get rid of all the old files that are left overs from unistalled apps???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trigger1981:
If you format your internal SD you will lose all your app data, if you want to clean it up, open the internal SD on your pc or using root explorer and delete folders relating to apps you have deleted. In future when installing apps make sure you delete data and cache first in order to minimize any footprint remaining. Hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
factory reset will do that, if you want a complete restore, flashing a 3 file firmware with pit will do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrapnel2:
I'm not really sure what you mean. If you format the SD all the things on your SD card will be erased, not the apps as they kept in a different partition of your internal SD which isn't accessible without root. E.g On my phone it has an 8GB internal storage, 2GB of that is partitioned for apps, so when I plug my phone into my pc I have 6GB to put music and movies on-the partition used for mass storage. Does that explain it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackygr:
No way,i have done that 20 times by flashing many custom roms but still as soon i reistalled e.g. Angry birds,i had all the levels back.All o want to do is get back those 5.75 gb of free space i had when i bought the phone.I have only 1.4 now with almost nothing installed on it.the rest is occupied by thousands of files that are left overs from uninstalling apps...

I want to add a "Data Connection on/off button" to the notification bar replacing the "silent on/off button", so it can be used to toggle data on/off quickly.

I'm guessing that it has probably been done already, but I can't find it in the forums.

This is what I mean:

In this picture from the Movistar ROM it has already been replaced, so I don't know whether this is configurable in the XXKB3 ROM or if the corresponding apk has to be modified.

Hello all,

I am hoping someone can give me some advice as what to do next. First let me give you some details. I am using a Galaxy S on O2 UK and have just updated to Gingerbread via KIES. Versions are as follows

GT-I9000

Firmware 2.3.3

Baseband I9000BWJV2

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 rootDELL101 #2

Build GINGERBREAD.XWJVH

Immediatley after updating everything was fine and then I noticed the battery drain that many people are suffering from with Android OS taking anything from 40-50% of battery use. And then all of a sudden I noticed that 3 of my shortcuts from bottom of the home screen have gone missing including messaging, dialer and contacts. The only icon left is Apps. When I go into Apps, all my apps are there and seem to be working except for the 3 icons that went missing from the homescreen. So basically my battery is lasting about 11 hours and now I cant access my messages, contacts or dialer which means my phone is useless.

I have been reading up about possibly trying a new custom ROM and would appreciate some advice on which ROM are compatible with the current versions of my phone. Also if anyone has come acroos this missing shortcut problem you may be able to help.

Thanks in advance,

Melchiah

All i can tell you is that custom roms are much better than the original ones,but it is a bit risky to flash.You must read very well before u do it.There is small chance to soft brick it but u can always fix it back yourself just read arround.
[General Questions and Answers] Tweedskin:
Hello!

First post but i've used XDA for a while for Flashing guides and such. Flashed my first ever Custom ROM to my DHD (I was so scarred i'd brick it!) without a hitch and have been plain sailing since! So big thanks to whom ever puts together the ROMs and the Guides!

I flashed the Revolution HD ROM to my phone and saved everything in one directory on my computer. However, my anti-virus keeps alerting me to a "severe" threat.....Exploit:Unix/Lotoor. I've allowed on my computer as it's an Android exploit. I guessed that it is used to gain Root on the DHD so the anti-virus is providing a false positive. However, upon further investigation, I doug up this...

Technical Information (Analysis)

Exploit:Unix/Lotoor is a detection for specially-crafted Android programs that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the Android operating system to gain root privilege.

Installation

Exploit:Unix/Lotoor is dropped and installed by TrojanSpy:AndroidOS/DroidDream.A. Once installed, the exploit is present as the following names:

rageagainstthecage

exploid

Payload

Allows root access

When run, Exploit:Unix/Lotoor allow a remote attacker to gain administrator privilege to the device running Android operation system.

Connects to a remote website

Exploit:Unix/Lotoor decrypts the name of a remote server provided by TrojanSpy:AndroidOS/DroidDream.A such as "184.105.245.17". The server address is used to send user identifiable data from the affected mobile device.

My question is...what exactly is Exploit:Unix/Lotoor and should i be worried that it is sending my phones info elsewhere? Or am i correct in thinking it is just for gaining root on the DHD?

Thanks!
