Thanks kapil,

After reading it and googleïng (googeling? :P) a bit I found this on the files:

Cg31 is cdt.

"The CDT table (which is located within CG31) determines which NAND parts have to be checked for signatures."

So basically is a list for checking if the sbf is complete and correct?

Cg39 is system.img

"It's the Android file system, which means all the support files that Android needs, the applications, but also the framework, the Dalvik VM, initialization scripts and so on.

Another part of the file system would be the userdata.img which is mostly empty when you compile the framework.

It is not the OS, that would be either a plain zImage or boot.img (and recovery.img for to boot in recovery mode)."

This system.img seems kinda important to me? Does the upgrade to version 5 system.img means a different framework and so on? If so, that means full sbf would run better?

I'm travelling to NYC in a few weeks and am really interested in buying this phone. The cheapest way I found is ordering it from Clove or Handtec and have it sent to a Fedex office for me to pick it up (it will be impossible to receive it at my place).

The only inconvenient I have is that I will be here for 11 days, and in case i order it 3 or 4 days before leaving i don't know if I will receive it on time, as I'm not familiar with US customs.

If anyone has another idea, please tell me, as I'm desiring to buy this phone from a long time now and in Argentina is impossible to do so (it's $1300 at least!).

Thanks for your help and excuse me for my english, I'm working on it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkodin14:
Cheapest way to get it my my opinion would be to Purchase it on www.expansys-usa.com its 719.99 use promo LSJUNE25 for 25$ off. Have it shipped and call fedex to hold at fedex location. Goto the fedex location and pick it up. I got it over at expansys it took 3 days to deliver to NYC and I live in NYC. It's really upto you. If you are staying at a hotel, you can get it shipped to the hotel and get it. If you need any help let me know.

The phone actually cost me 694.99 after the 25$ off. If you sign up for ebates.com you can get 26.50 cash back so that will drop the price even further.

Also.. No tax/ free shipping over at expansys.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franno:
The only problem of buying at EXpansys US is that they require an US billing address, which I don't have. And I'm not staying at a hotel, it's an apartment where nobody will be available to receive it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwc3b:
Check mobilecityonline. They are located in downtown NYC
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franno:
MCO is an option, the only problem is it'll cost 100 bucks more as it's 740 plus tax. That is a bit off my budget , considering that from UK I can get it with case, screen protector and MHL adaptor for 750 with shipping.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkodin14:
Hmmm. Yes. Do you have any friends here in the US that you can give cash and they can order it for you from expansys? Also another idea, they have an option to pay with paypal. Maybe that will bypass the US billing address. Give them a call, They have great support working there. They'll help you out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franno:
There´s no one I know that lives in the US, I've already contacted them and pretty much told me there's no way I could buy it. I'll try with Expansys UK, as I think they take international credit cards. I read in a thread that someone from NYC already bought from them. Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkodin14:
Alright. Hope all ends well. Some tips for NYC... Please .. OH PLEASE! don't stand in the middle of the streets of nyc looking up at the pretty lights. People have to get places so move over to the side and don't stop randomly in the middle. That's the only reason i hate tourists. Other than that enjoy your trip! :cool:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ransagy:
So, I've gotten my SGS2 today and went ahead to root it. Flashed CF-Root matching my current version (KE7 PDA/KE4 baseband). I used the S2Root app posted here on the forum to get root and flashed a stock kernel back.

In either of these stages, I couldn't get ADB to run as root, needed for a modification i'm trying to do (can't write to /system/framework otherwise).

Is there a known way to get ADB to run as root?

(The issue at hand - /default.prop contains ro.secure=1 and ro.debuggable=0 - And i can't edit this file in order for it to persist after reboot)

even in CWM i can't get ADB to run as root and thus cannot copy files to /system/framework even though /system is mounted as r/w.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Try this:

adb shell mkdir /sdcard/temp/

adb push fileToPush /sdcard/temp/

adb shell

$ su

# cp /sdcard/temp/ /system/path/to/push/to/

ADB doesn't run as root, as it's not safe to, as you can bypass superuser security in a rogue app otherwise
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ransagy:
I'll try it ASAP, Thanks.

Isn't there a way to edit /default.prop though?

I'd prefer to have adb run in root at the very least while running this mod, and then restore it.

the mod currently patches framework.jar/libwebcore.so for RTL issues, and relays on scripted access to adb and r/w access to /system.

I ended up discovering that i need a different ROM either way since stock is odexed.

I'll try making my own ROM based on stock with deodexed files and make the fix before hand.

[Wildfire General] nurved:
Hello every one,

(I did searched through the forms before posting this topic but did not found what I am looking for)

Like most of the Wildfire owners I was eagerly awaiting the release of AlpharevX beta, so I could I finally turn the S-OFF and take control of my device. BUT it seems that the beta version of RevX does not cater to hboot version 1.01.0002 variant. Bummer

After visiting the IRC channel of #alpharevx, I had an impression that there are several variants of the 1.01.0002 hboot, plus the one installed on my device could belong to Asia region. Inside the chat room IEF stated that there is no chance for Asia region support as well. So the only choice I am left with is to get S-OFF via XTC clip, unfortunately so far my search to find one in my city seems fruitless. It is quite expensive and I am just not ready to buy one. The only option left to me is to rid of my wildfire :(

But I was wondering if there is a way I can replace the stock rom on my device with that from Europe region. As per my understanding one needs to have a gold card to flash the device. I was able to create a goldcard via unlocker website, but now what. I am not sure which rom to choose or how to proceed any further. I did searched the XDA forums but few guides suggested you need a rooted device while other stated some thing different. I need your expert advise if there is a possibility for me to replace the stock rom on my device, thus enabling me to use AlpharevX.

The details of my device are listed below:

Android Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10

kernel version: g44d8ec5

htc-kernel@and18-2#1

Wed Dec 8 CST 2010

Build number: 2.37.466.1 CL319429 release-keys

Software number: 2.37.466.1

Also I am attaching the screen shot of the issue I am facing with AlpharevX, there are quite a lot of people with the same issue.

One thing more my device is not locked to any particular carrier or carries its logo, but it does seem to have a middle eastern language support i.e. Arabic and Farsi in it.

Last but not least I would like to thank AlpharevX team, although it did not work for me but they did a great job. Thank you.

I would also like to thank 3xeno for all the help so far.

I did the same the other day, ordered a new screen waiting for it to come. Bargain at £28. I think lying to them to get a new screen is a bit harsh behaviour its your fault you dropped it, and should be your responsibility to fix it at your own cost.

some tips:

take attention to ALL cables, special the little cable for the buttons are sensitive.

remove Mainboard before removing lcd.

use a hair dryer to make double sided sticker, what will hold lcd in streak, warm before remove lcd

sure you will know what i mean, sorry for my bad english...

Good Luck

[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
There are a lot of battery threads out there, but i wanted to try something new. I want to see how much our phones drain in real world situations. So here are the rules:

1. Use your phone normally for ten minutes.

2. Note your battery percent at the beginning and then at the end.

3. Post details about what you did, what ROM you're using, and the percent battery drain.

Hopefully we can compare our experiences and learn something.

I used my phone to surf a few websites, send one text, and use xda app. Started at 80% and ended at 77%. Using rcmix3d at 50% brightness.

I know there are tons of factors that affect battery drain, and I'm not trying to be scientific. I'm just curious how we all compare!
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
The only way you will get a decent idea is to test with others in your area as it will depend alot in signal strength. I would use more battery if I was bouncing between signals instead of having a steady connection.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Screen-on time is the only thing I ever look at. I've only managed to squeeze about 5h45m, out the sense-based gb ROM I've been using.

The phone does really well in standby on most if not all roms that have been flashed properly, don't have non-rom-related battery hogging app issues, and, as zelendel mentioned, signal issues.

It's this big fat screen that's obviously the biggest battery sucker. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] shermanshen:
My phone does great in standby as well, but seems to die quick when I'm actually using it. I've never had an issue with the phone dying on me though as I recharge every night. I think i had a little better battery life on miui than I'm getting now.

I know there are many many factors that go into battery performance, I'm just curious what other people actually get when using their phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I've gotten accustomed to putting my phone on the charger before bed as well. Mine pretty much will last the entire day... Off charger at ~8-9am, back on it at ~12am.

Averaging about 5 hrs screen on time with usually no voice calls of significant length, WiFi on, gps off, relatively stable signal.

I'm running Inspired Ace 1.0.1, and the 04.11_M2 radio. Seems I was getting a little better with the OTA radio, but signal fluctuated a lot more on that one, than with the 04.11_M2.

Edit: doesn't really use your testing procedure, just more of a general feeling, as there's so many other contributing factors...
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
10 minutes of on-line gaming (storm8 games) = 10% drain

WiFi off, gps off, mobile data on, screen brightness on auto, stock rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] alaimar:
Holly crap that's a heavy drain. I couldn't possibly use this phone with that type.of battery drain. Thanks to our great dews I managed a little over 7h screen on time. Could only accomplish that by reducing the screen brightness and UC to 768mhz. Stick speed and auto brightness I get about 6-6 1/2 screen on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
My battery will drain about 5% if I even just leave it sitting for ten minutes... I JUST rooted my Inspire and flashed the RCMix3D ROM, and it almost seems worse. Have background data, auto sync, wifi, gps, bluetooth, all that stuff shut off, too. I love this rom, but really want to find one that improves battery life!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You probably got a bad flash, or have something else running, as I mentioned in your recent thread.

Did you full wipe prior to flashing?

Try out gingerbeast, if you still have battery issues with that, after properly wiping prior to flashing of course, then it's hardware, as that ROM has produced some record-breaking battery life performance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
Mine has twice decided to randomly have days where it just drains like crazy. The battery is a lot warmer and just dies out in like 6 hours with very minimal usage. the majority of the time my battery is great but the last 2 days and then about a month ago it did this. No reason for it either, I have made no changes on my device.

Anybody seen this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahpr:
Yeah I did a full wipe before flashing. I'll be sure and try that out tomorrow, I really hope it helps. If the issue is hardware, should I contact HTC? After I believe you said my phone should still be under warranty, I called them, and indeed it is. The rep I had before must have been new or something. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
From a full charge, on TPGB with wifi, gps, and sync on, and everything refreshed 3-4hrs, I lasted about 8 hours. I was using super accurate gps for 20 minute intervals or so, but it lasted the day I'd say. Some occasional web browsing.

Lucky for me my head unit on my car has a usb port. For this whole trip I left it off though.

Forgive me if this has been asked before but how important is it to have the correct IMEI?

Do i need to restore it or carry on and don't worry about it?

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantIntoCode:
Warranty! If something happens to your phone and you want it to be fixed, your IMEI is checked, if it's not correct I'm pretty sure they will not repair it. Also most people claim to have issues using android market and making calls, but obviously this is not your problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbuzz1967:
Thanks for that. I won't worry about mine for the moment as everything is working fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Under the battery, you see your correct IMEI, so you can check if it is the same if you write *#06# in your dialer. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazevxi:
If you lose your phone, the IMEI number can be used to block it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maeman:
So flashing with a custom rom will change the imei? That's great!

I will be getting a SGS2 soon, and the phone is associated to my identity which i think it is absolutely unacceptable (I can understand others wanting this in case their phone gets stolen, but at least I think it should be optional)

Please dont come with legalities... the illegals are the governments and corporations building this unfair system and using technology against the population to control them and keep their position on top.

Should we build a .onion site like Silk Road for IMEI spoofing development and IMEI number exchange?

all I want to do is flash it to the different Aus Carrier Rom cos that has no issues apparently.

other than smashing the phone with a hammer, which I've done numerous times before, why is AlphaRev being a c**t?

I have an Asia Rom, apparently that causes trouble.
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Yes it is the asian rom because apparently gingerbreak is patched, you need to flash the optus or virgin or wwe rom using a goldcard, search in google how to create a goldcard.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
first you flash virgin or wwe gb ruu

than you s-off

than birds make love, and we all happy..
[HTC Incredible S] MADCV:
I've tried that and no way has worked.

Plus I can't flash things with the S-On, hence me using this Alpha-Rev thing to get S-Off.

Ignoring that I still have S-on, since Alpha-Rev does nothing,

the RUU I downloaded, and I've down loaded 3 different AUS ones, gets to a certain point then says Error 131.

thats the official way.

or if I do it the "Volume Down/Power Button" with the renamed Zips on the SD Card

it loads and then says "Error, reboot" in a red font.

I seriously hate this phone.

It takes me 2 seconds to reflash a Nokia.

***Update***

Disregard, Alpha-Rev doesn't work on my Asia Rom, so i'm going to smash it with a small hammer and go back to my iphones and Nokias
