So a little update on the OTA update app.

First of all:

I finally passed all of my exams :D SO I'll have some extra free time on my hands!

As for the current state, it's all working, I only need to change 2 URL's to match the corresponding files on Jazux server and add some more languages (Please people, send them to my PM not in this thread).

I'll edit this post when I added them.

Also, if someone would be so kind (maybe one of the developers) to pm me an image (36x36 px) for the Icon used. I could also use some help regarding the overall layout.

I'll post some basic screenshots here when I'm back at home (I have the latest version on my desktop) and with those as a base I would like some feedback as to the UI.

Now, since the OTA Update app is as good as done, I was wondering if you, Jazux, Has some other app ideas?

You can PM me for those.

Peace out!

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
yeah, been busyyy :p so ill make the logo today, i swear :D and future app ideas are coming, already have idea :p and for the URL im going to give it to you in 1 week :eek: :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
wait what ota app?(That's great!)

Tell me about it..:)

OTA for what updates?This app would be for?

Just enlighten me with some information for this app! :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dympy:
Well, it's not that hard to be honest.

First of all it will check if you have Internet access, if you don't you can't update.

Then it basically retrieves the current build number of the ROM and then it will look if it's the same build number as the build number written in a simple version.txt file on the server.

If there's a newer version available the download button becomes visible and you can download the update.zip from a server (the URL is predefined in the source code) to the root of your SDcard.

So while downloading you'll see the progress in a progress dialog (cancel able = false, so the download will finish) and afterwards the reboot button appears.

When the user clicks the reboot button it reboots the phone into recovery where he or she can install the update.zip

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jazux:
it checks updates from my server and if it finds new update it downloads it reboots into recovery and applies it :) so now computers needed! and its for POX/MIUI updates, to update to newesty build with your phone

did you get it?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
I guess its for releasing rom updates ota

Bugfixes and stuff

Correct me if wrong
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
of course i got it..

btw is this an app only for POX?

Because its a great idea, could be beneficial to many updates n bug fix.

Hi all,

I am noob here and wanted to ask few questions that will help me get all this worked out... and yes, I did search before creating this thread and still didn't find any answers...

odin:

1. what is the main difference between all the odin versions?

2. why would someone delete his efs folder?

3. what is flash lock and why do we need it?

4. is the efs clear option simply deletes the efs folder (like manually deleting it)?

5. what is the dump file and why do we need it?

6. what is the phone bootloader update? is it only for when using bootloaders?

7. what is the f. reset time and why do we need it?

other:

1. what exactly is a csc file? I didn't quite understand it from the guide...

2. can I use a csc file from froyo on gb?

3. can I use a csc file from some rom on a different rom? (same as question 1?)

4. is a zImage ONLY a kernel file? or can it contain other stuff?

Sorry about all the questions... but they are really important for me...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Hi

I got a question which Im quite unsure on what to respond to, so I hope you guys can help me. :)

As headline says - Is it possible to record phone calls with a Android smartphone, without rooting and flashing another kernel? e.g., is there a working app?

It should work both for outgoing and incoming calls and record caller as well as speaker

thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] roadrippersid:
the call recoder app i have used requires root so i did a permanent root via z4root
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
It is not necessary to root or flash another kernel on a untained android device.

The API natively supports recording calls. A simple app would do the trick.

The problem is that manufactors like samsung, htc (i don't know one that did not do it, except google themself) etc. changed the android code to disallow this, because they are afraid of legal problems.

[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
So I been hearing about LTE and how fast it is and I couldn't believe it, so got me a thunderbolt, I came from iPhone 4 on Verizon and the speeds of data is ridiculous , I feel like I don't have to connected on WiFi anymore if 4G works, I also have a nexus s 4G and I wish the phone would come to Verizon with LTE or at least the nexus s, 2 things I saw that I don't like about the TB are the screen (resolution could be better and putting ambled right next to it make it look wash out ) and camera (I can't believe the iPhone 4 still kick ass in the department ) , other then that really like the pho.e
[Thunderbolt General] Sweeny Russ:
A couple of things if you wanted an AMOLED display, why not go with the droid charge? You still can for a modest restocking fee. And I will have to disagree with you on the camera. My fiance has an iphone 4 and its deceiving. The higher pixel density on iphone make photos look like they are clearer than the TB. But when you put them on a TV or a computer monitor you will find that the TB photos are sharper and more saturated. Not hating just suggesting.
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Yeah probably I ma take a few shots and compare them , I like ambled but Sammy has disappointed me in the past, idk but I'm scared gps not working properly so I got a thunderbolt I know I will get used to the screen is just went you put it side by side you can tell a big difference but other then that I'm happy with the phone :)
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
I like the OLED screens on samsung, but no way is it a deal breaker between having the thunderbolt and the charge. Better screen or not, it doesnt make up for the other shortcomings of the charge. If you want a samsung phone, I would try to wait it out until probably the end of the year for the Galaxy S2.
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Ha ha no I don't want a Samsung phones, there phone builds feel cheap besides amoled and GPS is a hit or miss in various phones, I was just saying a better screen could have make this phone a phone of year ha ha but I like it a lot so I'm sticking with it

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Samsung for at least the near future, seems to be hoarding their OLED screens for only their phones, which sucks. I've heard rumors of an LTE Nexus S phone in the works (since there's already a CDMA one on sprint), but I have no idea which carrier will get it (since att and sprint are rolling out LTE very soon). Just noticed your signature says sent from a Nexus S. You probably knew it was built by samsung I assume, though obviously it followed standards set by google so it wasnt the typical samsung phone.
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Well yeah I got a nexus s and TB, to make the switch from sprint to Verizon , nexus s is a good phone and the OS is controlled by Google , Samsung just gave them the HW they need it for it , and nexus s have problems sometimes with gps but not really as big as some other Sammy phones, and I wanted to get a nexus s with LTE but I don't think that's happening anytime soon so I think the thunderbolt is a better choice

[Thunderbolt General] BoulderGeek:
I am excited to receive my Thunderbolt, hopefully tomorrow (Wed).

I was waiting for LTE to be delivered. But, I was also waiting to compare the HTC Sensation on TMobile before making a choice.

Overall costs and VZW's unlimited 4G were the deciding factor.

I had a Samsung Captivate on AT&T and was severely underwhelmed. the screen was nice, and I liked the carbon-look aliminum body. But the GPS issues, AT&T craptastic voice quality and data network dropouts in my area made me hand it back in only three weeks.

MY GF has an iPhone 4, and had 3 and 3GS before that. The camera on my old Nokia 5800 is only 3.2MP and takes much clearer pictures than her iPhone 4. She asks me to take pix with my non-data phone just because hers is pixellated beyond belief. And it is slow to acquire lock and take the picture.

I really hope to love the TBolt.

Ok so here is my story first we were with att they sucked balls so we payed cancellation fee and moved to verizon and we got three lg revolutions we returned all three because the screen colors are nasty the screen looks like its made of yellow pixels and the battery and camera were just way to ****y. So next we got droid charges this is **** like the screen is nice but it scratches in a day ,the phone overheates after 5 minutes of use ( not overclocked) and would lose gps fast ,and it felt like a toy no kidding. So next we got thunderbolts had it for a week and love it No problems the screen is not as good but at least it dont scratch as fast and i like the thunderbolt because it has so much roms not like the lg where they have no roms or the charge where they have only debloated roms **** that ,Thunderbolt is king .

[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
Hi community,

just switched from Symbian to Android, so I've got to learn a lot.

I am a German living in China. This brought up some problems with my brand new Gal S2/9100. When I try to update it (kies) tells me it is not possible for this firmware. I also can even not register an account at Samsung with the telefon. It seems that this Shop sold me a "branded, modified or cracked " Phone. However, I learnt here I can flash my phone.

As I am in China, most "up load" servers are blocked, I cannot access them.

So I need urgently the help of you guys. Here my DATA:

PDA I9100XWKE7 : CSC I9100 XEU KD1

Build: Gingerbread XWKE7

But but but: I wonder if I could get an European CSC Package with the latest KF2?

thats the data;

I kindly ask the community to give me a chance to download all that stuff through a one time FTP connection from someone's PC. Just use Filezilla FTP server.

I could do it in the night in order not to disturb you. We have 6 hours time shift. So, my morning is your night.

Or any other server to download all the stuff (firmware pack,including ODIN)?

Hope you don't let me down, I hope i can return this effort to the community one day.thanks in advance

Robbie
[Galaxy S II General] sileshnair:
Would the following Suffice?

XXKF2

This package has: PDA:XXKF2| PHONE: XXKF2| CSC:XEUKD1.

MultiCSC OXXKE2

:

Contains the following CSC: AUT, COS, CYO, DBT, DCM, DNF, EUR, FWB, KOR, LUX, NEE, OMN, ORG, ORS, PAN, PLS, SEB, SUN, SWC, TMS, TPH, VDH, VIA, VOM, XEE, XEH, XEO, XEZ, XSK.

Which servers can you access in China? I think you can get Hotfile / Megaupload.

Go thru this thread for more information.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
We all get this message when we are up to date like you are. It is also normal that you cannot register a samsung account since samsung hub is not for the UK (you are running. UK firmware)
[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
thanks for the quick answers

since some weeks almost all servers including (hotfile and upload) are blocked.

that's the problem.

So, I learnt I do have a UK firmware, that's ok to me. However, the shop put a lot of Chinese stuff as system apps on to the phone. I cannot uninstall it.

I also can not install any emails except GMAIL ( which by the way works great on the S2) so I have to use K-9 Mail as client the build in widget is buggy and crashing all the time. Also my phone gets quite hot on the backside close to the cam, when I switch it off and on it gets cool quite quickly again. I couldn't figure out what application is causing this.

I talked to a SAMSUNG guy here, he said this bug is fixed in the latest firmware.

Samsung was aware of the "getting hot issue" but does not tell what the reason was.

Summary: I think now, the Chinese screwed up the phone by mixing various stuff from different countries on a UK phone. They told me it was imported, what ever that means in China.

The only solution to me is to put my phone back to the original status quo.

I tried to /su and found out the phone is not routed.

May be they rooted it and put on top of the UK firmware all that Chinese stuff, then unrooted it again. (if this is possible).

Would really be nice, if I could download may be the original firmware package from someone. By the way, I also can only access the Chinese apps android market. This is really horrible. I do speak Chinese and read the basics but I prefer English/German or Spanish software.

Hope this gives you a picture of my situation.

Greetings from SiChuan

[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
firmware pck

so here we are:

as Mr. sileshn above already said: the XXKF2 package with the multi CSC should be ok. I also need the flash software ODIN to flash the phone.

However, if you could find the original package would be nice.

again my data: PDA:I9100 XWKE7 CSC I9100 XEUKD1

at the moment I think KF2 is the latest firmware, isn't it? I understood that the KF4 is a beta and unstable and not officially released.

So any KF2 firmware with CSC for UK or Germany is fine for me.

thanks

rr

PS:

I feel quite nervous as I used to be an experienced Symbian user, but new to Android. I also have no Idea about LINUX so all the technical terms and actions are new to me.

[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
Hi, just for your info: Download worked great, thanks again.

The bad news is that my phone got screwed up.

I couldn't identify why. I followed exactly the rules on how to flash this phone.

After uploading the files to the phone ODIN gave back the message: FAILED, write operation failed.

My phone hung up ( a little picture appears with a phone and a PC when I restart), it can not start/boot any longer. Of course after the "failed" message I waited long long time in order not to interupt any process. However one time I had to stop it. All efforts to flash it again did not work.

I am quite nervous now, hope the shop where I bought it can fix it.

They told me they will try. Hope to report better news tomorrow.

rr
[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
short report

thanks again for the help.

The download worked really great.

The bad news is, that i screwed up my phone.

I followed exactly the routine for flashing with ODIN.

It is not that difficult to understand.

But ODIN uploaded the files to my phone and then stopped during the writing process.

"FAILED" was the message I got.

I waited long long time in order to make sure I do not interrupt any processes.

Then I had to disconnect my phone. After restart it was hanging with a little picture that shows a phone and a pc screen. I tried all I know to get the phone back to life but nothing happened.

So I brought the phone today to the shop where i bought it in China.

I hope they can fix it.

it would be good to figure out what was going wrong. Firstly to learn, secondly to help others to avoid this problem.

I believe that it may have something to do with the fact that they sold me "modified" phone, I mean it was a UK PDA and CSC number but a lot of Chinese stuff in the system. Not installed as normal apps but as system apps.

So they may have changed the partition and modified the firmware.

But I checked before, the phone was not rooted.

That's for your info only.

I thank you again for the prompt help you gave me.

If you have an idea what was wrong pls let me know

RR
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
That's only a soft brick.

You can fix that by reflashing. You could try flashing via Heimdall, but it's not something irreparable :) You can get to download mode as usual
[Galaxy S II General] RbbCHan:
I've tried to reflash. no success, same error. However, I hope they fix it for me and If they put on a standard firmware with standard CSC, I should be able to flash in the future.

I did this with my N8 and my N900 many times and never something strange happened.

So, I guess it is an experience for me.

As I have to learn I wonder, if there is a hacker bible or flashing bible for android out there?

Did you learn all by doing or did you have some literature?

More tomorrow when I got back my phone.
