[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
If I'm correct apex7 is gingerbread and already has the fix. When you changed the three button fix you put froyo secondary bootloaders. So with gb primary bootloaders and froyo secondary you created a permabrick. So you can spend $50 to to get jtag or try to get fixed under warranty.

SIGNATURE : Life is like a box of captivates, you never know if your gps will work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
yes you are bricked. the threee button fix was what did it, that fix contains a froyo secondary bootloader, you have mixed a gb primary and froyo secondary, which is one of the easiest ways to brick. you can try your luck with a warranty replacement or you can send it herehttp://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=776 for jtagging (the second option down)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrored:
alright thanks guys. I have experience flashing roms and was just being an idiot not thinking.

I have ATT phone insurance. Do you think they'll cover it? I was just going to tell em I woke up and it wouldn't turn on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
warranty is free, if they replace it that is, otherwise insurance claim=$125 and

jtag=$50 which one would you choose?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrored:
The latter obviously lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
As mentioned, you now have Captivate Froyo sbl.bin matched with an i9000 GB boot.bin which = hard brick. I can fix this for you...pm sent.

[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
Title says it all. Motorola went the way of exploitation and took the cheap route of superficial marketing to rush a half baked device to market at the expense of it's customers. Trying to put the final touchs on their Frankenstein creation people received their xooms unsealed and in essence unguarded. People have reported sending in their malfunctioning devices only to met with refusal because of "water damage" even though the seal on the purchase was already removed when they received it. Motorola reps at CES repeatedly said that the xoom would be upgradable to 4g soon after release, some saying 40 days, some saying 2 months, some saying whatever - all being false. SD card support has never been honored even though other tablets like the transformer with fundamentally identical specs have delivered since day one. Now Samsung is offering the same thing in thinner form factor for almost 300 dollars less - and we can only assume it will actually be WORKING also.

And if all this isn't bad enough we see that while Motorola had no problem taking large sums of money on false pretenses they simultaneously had no shame about neglecting original xoom owners and developing a second xoom in the meantime that is nothing more than a working version of what they promised the first would be. Pathetic.

They are striving hard for recognition as the biggest piece of **** company in the android game and judging by the recent reports of their stock value, it seems they are successful at something. Seriously it is not rocket science. False advertising, ****ty support (or none at all), zero accountability, no remorse or attempt for compensation or consumer confidence, equals a ****ty company that loses value in a competative market. Someone over there needs to take their heads out of their ass. A child can understand this.

Oh my god just $550 and no contract? I wouldn't mind prepaid 4g data from verzion....
[Xoom General] VaKo:
Europe has SD card support, and since it's not a GED that makes me suspect that the problem with SD card support is more of a Google issue than a Moto issue.
[Xoom General] axelf84:
Not yet, Motorola posted at Facebook that they will roll out the 3.1 Update with SD soon for EU... But what is soon? 2 weeks? 2 months?

Nobody received a update yet...
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
They shafted a lot of people. I have the WiFi only model so I don't apply. That sucks for everyone else though.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
Does it suck? Yes. Motorola sold the Xoom on promises. But nowhere on the Box or on any advertisements did they say when LTE would be given out and nowhere in the advertisements was the SD card slot mentioned. So although you feel like you have been taken advantage of, you need to take some personal responsibility. You purchased an unfinished product willingly.

My response is that I will no longer buy Motorola products.
[Xoom General] HuckFinn:
First this is not a personal attack on anyone, but I have to say that ALL of us bought this device well knowing that some of the features were still in developement. I have not seen anyone present actual evidence of Motorola committing to any specific dates as to when these features would be added. If you have evidence please share as I am sure there are many people who would like to see it.

Moto was first out of the gate with a HC tablet, if they had waited until everything was done it still would not have shipped and the same people who are blasting Motorola now for unsupported features would be the same people screaming that they were late to market. The US Xoom is a GED device, so the SD support is fully in Google's hands. As for the LTE upgrade, I have a WiFi Xoom so I really can not comment any more than what I have already said. In this type of market there really are not too many options.

1) Ship something with less features to be first or earlier to the market

2) Wait for the features to be fully supported and be late to the market

3) Ship the unit with full hardware support but lacking full software support so that features can be enabled in future SW updates.

It comes down to which one of these options satisfies the most people. I personally think they made the right choice, but everyone is entitled to thier own opinion. Now do I believe Moto needs to reduce the pricing to compete, of course. But I am sure that as soon as they reduce prices, people will be *****ing about that too. There is ALWAYS a premium for buying the first of anything, especially in the technology market.

Me personally, I like my Xoom and after reading reviews of the Samsung given the option to choose I would stick with the Xoom. Is it heavier - absolutely, is it more robust/durable - absolutely, is it going to get Adroid updates faster and for a longer period of time - most likely.

Regarding the point of them already designing a next generation Xoom, that is what companies have to do to stay competitive. There will ALWAYS be something newer/better/cheaper on the horizon and I would be more pissed off if they were not working on the next best thing.

Does it suck that something we all just spent good $$$ on a few months ago is not the "best" thing anymore, sure but that is how it goes.
[Xoom General] myv6mustang:
I dont feel bad about my purchase...the cost of being an early adopter...also i dont care what anyone says...that Tab feels cheap as hell. My xoom feels bullet proof. Apple was able to make a thin device feel solid but like their phones, cameras, and big screen TV...the tab feels very plasticy and cheap. Just my opinion. I still love my xoom despite all this other stuff that comes out.
[Xoom General] bmhanson:
Where are you seeing that. I see $529 with a contract.
[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
I am aware that they didn't commit to a "specific" date. Although if you followed CES where the xoom was debuted you will have heard Motorola reps offering all sorts of unofficial etas (all of which have come and gone). Regardless, misleading and dishonest advertising doesn't depend on them specifying a date. While they have said things like "by the end of Q2" (which was yesterday for anyone following) the practical truth is that when you offer a service in a fast moving market where a devices life cycle of relevance can be as little as 6 to 8 months (hence the new xoom 4g already on the horizon and quadcore chips becoming standard before the end of the year) you only have a certain window of oppertunity to deliver in a manner that represents the market you are trying to succeed in. To turn around and crawl under technicalities like, "we never promised you a certain date" becomes just a bold affirmation of ones own incompetence and utter lack of comprehension of the role that consumer trust plays in the role of your business. Look at apple. They have the most loyal fanbase, so much so that people buy their **** on principle without thinking, and while they shaft them on price, specs, and basic functionalities - they don't leave them out to dry when it comes to support.

As far as the SD card goes, go to Motorola's site. It is one of the specs advertised.

Someone can try to portray this as my own personal unjustified gripe but objectivity speaking these are business practices that will tarnish anyone's reputation and make people hesitant to buy their ****. I don't control that, it stems from common sense.
[Xoom General] VaKo:
The SD card issue on the US GED is a Google issue, everyone else is adding it aside from Google, so they need to answer this question. I don't think it's a huge issue though, it has 32GB of storage and I'm happy with that.

As for all the other complaints, yes, Moto are lying ****s, this isn't even a matter of debate anymore. But I still like my Xoom and I'm glad I bought it.

Im thinking each weather type is compiled in a sense file somwhere just begging to be decompiled and seperated into custom live walls. The windy weather status is nice too:-)

Guys... I'll be posting a patched provision tool today soon as I get home.

This tool will not requires that you have a dev unlocked phone.

See you later today...

[Update]

If you have the original files, there is no reason to take the risk on tools that you dont trust. The provision tool has a check validation that only query the WP7 register to see if it is dev unlocked. The provision tool is not obfuscated. So, if you want make it work without risk. Just patch the provision tool and remove the IF() statement where the method private bool IsDevUnlocked() is called and always return true. Just recompile and run it using the same steps provided on PDF and you will be safe with the original update files, backup, and your WP7 will be safe to come back to retails version to allow you update to Mango later this year...

PS: Dont ask in this thread where to find the files... It was already spred over other posts and over internet. Just make sure you are with the original files from MS Connect and you are good to go. And remember, lots of features for consumers are not enabled right now. It is a Dev build.

[Update - Add patched provisioning file]

Ok, since some people asked me to patch the file myself, there is the link to the patched provision tool. Find yourself the other files and follow exactly same steps provided on MS pdf guide except that instead of use the original EXE that comes from MS, use the link instead. THIS PATCH IS PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY! DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! AND DONT FORGOT TO KEEP SAFE YOUR DEVICE BACKUP OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE STUCKED ON BETA ROM FOREVER!!!

I hope all you enjoy it.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
It creates a backup? From that link you posted:

Then there is a reference to the tool I made. I guess this is the reason for the renewed interest in the backup tool.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deesh1981:
I have a basic n00b question, I'm only asking because there's far too much information available to easily find what best fits my needs.

I have an unlocked A3335 wildfire (the 850Mhz Telstra version), I'm using it on optus so I know I can only get 2100MHz 3G coverage in the city.

All I want to do is remove all the telstra junk and restore the phone back to how HTC would ship it if telstra didnt insist on ruining phones (all the junk apps they include could easily be optionally installed from marketplace if you want their crap...) Its hard to explain to your wife use gmail and not "My Email" because theyre both different, use google maps not sensis maps etc.

I really don't care about boot screen one way or the other.

There are so many ROMS and options available, including the ones from shipped roms (it wont let me post the link because I'm new).

I'm currently on the latest ( 2.38.841.1 Radio 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10). So what do I use to keep android 2.2, and HTC sense, but remove telstra (obviously I'm in australia)?

I assume I can follow the regular guides for rooting, creating goldcards etc etc?

Some kind of ROM naming guide would also be nice, it's hard to tell whether I base it purely on version, or some of the other fields in the names. I'm kind of thinking either of these 2, but i dont know if ones later than the other, or its just EU vs Asia or what...

RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed.exe

RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe

It would be kind of nice to know which one telstra took and modified.

Thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fr3ddY303:
I was thinking the same as you.It would be so nice if someone Like danne_jo could make a safe version of this rom RUU_Buzz_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.38.841.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_167270_signed.exe

Plus remove the unwanted apps from the rom also has hboot hboot_7225_1.01.0002_101227.nb0..

For starters you will have to downgrade your hboot from 0002 to 0001 before you can use AlphaRevX you could try it before just in case it will work with the Telstra Rom it has for some Apparently..Before you can have s-off.

I had WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10 hboot 0001 on the phone before using AlphaRevX for s-off.Then installed CM 7.03 extracted the radio.img from Telstra_WWE_2.38.841.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 and update to the telstra radio file.Just to make sure I had Telstra's 3G

You may want have a look at this Thread before starting.Make sure you backup your phone first..

If you just want to remove the telstra nonsense yet keep the original android 2.2 then I recommend using this app :

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anttek.am&feature=search_result

But in order to use this app you will need to root your phone. Or the other option would be to use the shipped ROM like you mentioned. Sadly I don't know which of the two ROMS would be good for you!!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
Just for Wildfire A3333.

Well, you can use WWE indicated ROMs from Shipped ROMs, because those are free of carrier junk, pure HTC, and should work world wide. :)

And it has to be indicated 2.x for Android 2.2.

I recommend this one: Link to Shipped ROMs.

Hit thanks if I helped you. :)

Edit: In order to install the RUU you downloaded from S.R., you have to create a Gold Card, and I'm not sure, do S-OFF with AlphaRev. (You can try to install it without S-OFF, and if it does not succeed, you know what's the problem.) :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thearif:
Although installing a wwe would remove the carrier junk, you must pay attention to the radio flashed in those RUUs. Especially if you have a regional specific band.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
If removing bloatware is the primary concern, then if the phone can be made s-off by alpharevX it should be done.

And WWE RUU shouldn't be installed, since it has issues with some frequency of A3335

S-OFF by alpharevX

Install custom recovery (optional - not needed for just removing bloatware)

Root the rom

Install "Superuser" + "Titanium Backup"

Remove system apps through titanium backup.

But i don't know how the alpharevX goes when it comes to A3335 wildfire. I remember nand write error for someone with A3335. But don't know about it much (whether it is fixed or not).
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
Ah, sorry, didn't realize its A3335, mine is A3333 so this method worked. :)

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deesh1981:
Thanks guys.

As far as I can see, the radio version in all the latest ROMs has the same number as the telstra ROM, I think I read somewhere that the newer firmwares have a version of the radio that supports all the different hardware. Anyway it doesn't really matter since my network is 900Mhz anyway (I picked this phone up super cheap for my wife to use), we can only get 2100MHz 3G in the city and drop back to GSM in the country (no different to her old iphone 3G).

I think I'll try rooting and S-OFF with AlpharevX first, then see about removing the telstra applications, if thats good enough then I'll leave it at that.

If not, then I'll search for the ROM thats the best fit for what I want, I did want to stick with a stock HTC ROM, but then if nobody uses those it's probably best to go with one of the ones from the index page that more people use, at least then I have some information about what I'm applying.

Those stock WWE roms confuse me, there has to be some method to their versioning and naming system. I'm still not sure on the difference between:

RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe

RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed.exe

The asia one has the newer version, but I'm not sure whats different between the asia and non-asia ones (obviously the TW and HK ones are country specific.)

Thanks guys! I'll try the safer option first, she'll kill me if I brick her new phone. I'll get one for myself to play with afterwards.

This Morning I made a Rom from the ( 2.38.841.1 Radio 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10) Telstra's new Rom version.In Mintlinux with Kitchen I removed all the Telstra stuff.And installed the Rom and it works Beautifully .The phone now has just the plan stock 2.28.841.1 with the Telstra Radio for 3G.

What was on the phone before I Updated was =

alpharevX s-off 0001

Rooted

CM7.03

So as you can see I never needed to downgrade the phone or goldcard as this was already done.

You must have s-off and a goldcard if this has not been done first to install the Rom.

Backup First and read the forums on how to s-off ClockworkMod and rooting.If you install the Rom before installing wipe data/factory reset..
