I went back and wiped everything except the SD card and reflashed the ROM. I also fixed uid mismatchs in amon ra. Everything is working great now.....except I can't remember my Goodle email password :rolleyes: Thanks for the help folks!
[EVO 4G General] Lord Darth Vader:
Was wondering something...

Can I take a new, unused 32GB SD card, partition it per the above instructions and do so on my OG EVO, then insert it into my new, not yet used but newly rooted, stock ROM EVO LTE?
[EVO 4G General] cuetzpallin:
If I understand you're trying to install the ROM on the SD card to use it on a new phone that is not rooted?

anyway I guess if you do so, the phone will just see the remaining amount on the fat32 partition but not load the system from the sd card even if the phone is already rooted it will start with the stock rom or the last rom installed
[EVO 4G General] Lord Darth Vader:
No, no ROM involved. My OP can be disregarded anyway. I answered my own question when I did just what I was wondering and it succeeded.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzydemon:
I have recently switched to Heimdall as I have been having reliability problems with Odin (V1.7 Windows7. XP3 compatibility , administrator.)

I nearly bricked a friend's phone with it when it baulked after uploading the pit (needed making the 300k resistor force download cable!). On my machine it now just wont connect ... enter Hiemdall to the rescue.

However I was forced to unpack the archive in Hiemdall and apply all the files separately as there was no apparent way to use the pit + whole tar file

Whiles this worked its a bit risky if you do it at 2am and the boxes in Heimdall could be more clearly separated.

Is there any way not shown to use the whole tar file in Hiemdall?

I say this because although i am now the proud owner of an Insanity 009 galaxy I will have to use Hiemdall to flash back to "stock" 2.3.3 rooted before i can try a different rom because of the way CM7 changed the filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
No it's not possible to flash a tar archive with Heimdall. See here for reasoning.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzydemon:
A very succinct and accurate reply which I had not spotted. Yes I used Hiemdall because Odin had soft bricked one phone and refused to work on mine (it used to - dont get that). Heimdall was perfectly reliable.

It would be nice to know before pressing GO that Heimdall is actually able to connect to the phone.

Otherwise excellent work. Thank you.

I just wanted to let out a big THANK YOU, to all of you that helped make the Vibrant experience a very pleasant one! I am happy to say that I am now joining the HTC Sensation 4G ranks, and I must say...this phone is amazing. Yes, there will be better phones in time, but I just wanted to say thank you to this community for all of the fun times! :) To the DEVS...God bless you all and you ROCK!!!! :)

Hey, great choice man!

I personally, don't like HTC phones (I don't know why, just a dislike, I've had a MyTouch 4G, and a G2, and for some reason, I don't like them), and have ordered the Samsung Galaxy S 2.

It sucks that I'll have no 3G (doesn't matter), but I'll have an AMAZINGLY fast phone. ^^

Have fun, I heard the Sensation is an amazing phone. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kant5t1km3:
what im trying to say is, can i have the glass lock screen and a pattern, and swipe the lock screen without the pattern , THEN have the pattern to show up? im on Continuum 5.6, thanks for any info.

-Kant
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redkenji:
shouldn't you be able to do that if you enable both the regular lock screen and the pattern unlock?

Another option is to get widgetlocker, with this you can customize lock screen and if you have the pattern enabled it will come up AFTER the lock screen, or atleast thats what it did for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kant5t1km3:
yah i use to use widgetocker but no glass lockscreen and music controls.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redkenji:
on the newest version of widget locker theres an option for the SGS style which is more or less the glass screen and u can add the music widget onto it.
[Blade General] veralynn:
so, ive did the upgrade to gen2, and installed 7.0.3 cyanogenmod..

BUT the resets when i charge it, is annoying and i belive that wasnt an issue at 7.0.0? or was it??

can i reflash it back to the 7.0 now? or what about the 7.0.2? is that any better??

also- my phone is gettin slow... i really dont know why..

got like 4 giga available space at sd, and all apps are moved to sd..
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Use the latest nightly (N100) and full wipe and flash.

The bug is fixed in later releases after stable.
[Blade General] veralynn:
oki. i will dl and flash it now..

is there gonna be a new cyanogenmod stable flash soon?

ps- many thanks!!

also--- what IS nightly builds anyway?

are they all different or are they finished roms?, but lets say 99 has the reset error and the 100 is the one that fixes it..

is the 87 or whatever build pre100 not as good as the latest 100 in today case?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Not that I know of.

They're usually experimental, but for the Blade they're probably as stable as Froyo ROM's.

They're like all the latest changes the CM team have made to the ROM.

Possibly, however N100 could have another bug instead (although this is not the case).

Refer to this for more info: http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/ZTE_Blade_CyanogenMod
[Blade General] veralynn:
a new bug.. i like having an gps, so i use Sygic, and when i turn on Sygig, it makes the phone reboots..

so ill guess... hmm.. reset when charging or having a gps...??

any fix for this one?

EDIT...

just started up a compassapp that uses gps as well, found my location, went back in and started Sygic and starts up fine and no reboot..

lol... some things are random..
[Blade General] k0zmic:
CM7 should reboot once when using GPS and then be fine.

many thanks!!

all good today..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14624515&postcount=326

But note:

YOU MUST CALL itsmagic from within update.zip! Otherwise your device will not boot anymore.

BTW: itsmagic needs libc.so to work :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Spectacular, I now understand how this works. Thank you for supplying this to the community.

EDIT: When people begin putting custom roms together, might it be wise to edit the shutdown script to call itsmagic on every shutdown, just to be safe? Or does it introduce a performance penalty on next boot?
[Acer Iconia A500] sc2k:
Is the backup_tool working?

And you all got your UID?
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
Has anyone contacted the rom manager guys? This seems like something they might be interested in...
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
Thanks sc2k! It is amazing!

Basically, I understand the logic, and I have 2 questions:

1) What is the use of UID in the whole process? What I see is getting it and backing it up, but why you say if we brick our device and don't know the UID, we are lost?

2)

What update.zip you are describing? You mean custom ROM/kernel? If flashing custom ROM without touching recovery, that means we do not need to call itsmagic again? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
possible to use this on mac?

and is there any risk of brick by trting backup toll ?
[Acer Iconia A500] sc2k:
1. UID hast some special meaning during unbricking process. I will provide details some days later. But if you do not have the UID, you will not be able to unbrick your device.

2. Yes, i mean any custom kernel. As boot.img is also verified against the checksum, a new kernel requires a new checksum. To recalculate a new checksum, itsmagic has to be used.
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
Wow! Thanks.

1. Now, I know that it is important. :) And I will remember it!

2. In theory, after flashing the custom kernel, in the updater-script, I should run the itsmagic. If I forget to embed it in the script, I can make another update.zip that 'only' runs itsmagic and flash it in the recovery. Right? (of coz, I cannot reboot in between...)

Arr.... btw, has acer released the kernel source? in some form of zip or github? I think under the GPL license, acer should have released it if 'someone' is asking for it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
You will know the answer if you know what the backup script is doing :)
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
i dont understand script actually.. just a user here :D

but back up meant for backing up for future brickage right? so, it should not have brick possiblity..
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
I will put an APP together tomorrow, which should be able to install the recovery + run itsmagic all by a single press in the APP .

Let me see if i can have it ready for today or tomorrow..

but im sure it will make it all alot easier for all regular users.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
In the nicest possible way, if you don't understand the script then at this point I wouldn't run it!

Give things a few more days to settle down.

EDIT: And Dexter beats me to it :P
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
^ This. A thousand times this! If you don't know what the script is doing, you have zero business using it. Don't risk your device, wait until these smart guys have a chance to make it simpler to use, and hopefully safer for everybody!

Oh, and don't forget to, at the very least, pile thanks on these guys. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
Thanks all the efforts up to now. I will try out the magic when I back home.

One question to ask: What is the worst situation? What I mean is that, if I forget to run itsmagic after flashing kernel, will I brick the device forever? And that I can no longer boot to recovery again?

Or, can I still go into recovery and restore from backup?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] ikram0673:
wow you guys are great!!! im just a regular user so i guess i just wait until all the smart guys make it simpler and safer. thanks for the great job.

anyway where did you guys learn all this thing??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ale922:
Hey guys, maybe its a stupid question but I bought my phone 2 weeks ago amd it came with build number GINGERBREAD.UHKE1 and kernel KE1. I used cf root with the KE7 kernel and recently used the latest cf root with the KE8 kernel. When I check About Phone. The kernel says KE8 but tge build.numer still says GINGERBREAD.UHKE1. is this normal?

One other thing, I am currently using the stock rom that came with my carriers crapware and the cf root, is there a non carrier, samsung factory rom around? Would you recommend using that or stick with my stock carrier rom? I dont want to use villian rom or anything like that, just stock touchwiz but hopefully the one that comes with non carrier specific phones.

Thanks for your help

Shouldnt it say KE8 somewhere in there If I am using the cf root ke8 kernel?

Hello everyone, I am new on forum and this help urgently so I have to ask this here..

I was updating to gingerbread following this tut and had problems with last step which is "Re-“Stocking” Yer System…". The actual problem is that I transfer my .zip to tab and later in Recovery mode I can't find it "“install zip from sdcard”.

Is there any other way to do this or where's the problem cuz I am pretty sure I know that I've put file there lol :confused:

Why dont you just use odin/heidmill to flash the stock gb

First step is "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card". in the last step even if it is on the external sd you will be able to find it. Done several times with the zip on a folder I created on the external sd called downloaded.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone using Handcent/Go SMS has their MMS pictures turn upside down or sideways? Wondering if this is a common issue.

It looks like it only sends upside down when the picture is taken with the camera button on the left in landscape mode, and turns sideways when the picture is in portrait.

Any way around this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rick2906:
I have the same problem!! Not cool at all. Hope soemeone will help us out
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rick2906:
It seems to be a problem related to samsung phone. I have this temporary fix for you. Before sending the desired pictures you have to go in gallery select the picture and crop it and save it you're picture wont turn sideways. Quite annoying to do but at least it works.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KLoNe1:
I've read up on it before and it's supposedly because of the 'metadata' standard which they (SAMSUNG) use. Never supposed to use your camera in portrait mode supposedly...

Even though; how come none of the SMS apps let you rotate a picture in-app? Very amateur stuff.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rick2906:

I`m having this issue on my Skyrocket any way to fix this, I love go sms pro, but cant live with this upside down pictures
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Instagib101:
same here

Mate of mine and I are having the exact same issue, pics taken in portrait are displaying in landscape (although my landscape tests so far seem to be displaying properly).

My mate and I have the same setup, as follows:

SGSII i9100

ROM: FoxHound GreyFox v2 - XWLP9 (ICS 4.0.3)

Kernel: Siyah v3.2.5.1+

Modem: XXLPB

Go SMS Pro is the SMS/MMS app.

Also, just for reference, when I test this process (adding a pic to an SMS) using the default android messaging app it always attaches correctly...

As a side note, I've also noticed that when you open the normal image gallery, the thumbnail is showing the photo in landscape but when you click on the thumbnail to open it it opens correctly in portrait, so I'm guessing, as suggested above, that it's not specific to the messaging app but something to do with the storage of the image.

Anyone got any further details/info on this and how to resolve it?
