Ok, that sounds really good, but what about GPS - is it fixed in SGS4G? I'm coming from Vibrant and you probably heard the sad gps stories there...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muzicman0:
Mine locks typically within about 10 seconds. So yes, compared to my old Vibrant, this GPS is much better!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Yeah I know, that's why I stated that development would be kind of scarce.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
GPS is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!! Picks up right away, used it the other day for a 50 mile drive with no problems whatsoever the sensor feature is also very nice an works smoothly. Coming from an old mytouch 3g the gps is loads better and navi is point on point. I hope you decide to get the SGS4G, i for one love this phone... to think i was going to get a moto defy HAH shoot me!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
I seem to be the only one with GPS problems, oy vey.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
i have issues too. even if its a hot, warm, or cold start. always searching for gps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
also have issues. 5 plus minutes for a lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
There are a few ways to fix the GPS, but there is no universal fix. It's a hit and miss approach.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roadrunnerrd3:
had one mishap on gps today... apparently my galaxy thought i was somewhere 120 miles off of my location maybe a glitch but idk im starting to think geographical problems on the google maps cause these weird location errors.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
It's the GPS chip in both this phone and the vibrant, sadly; it seems that they're either 1) not very effective at locking onto satellites, 2) defective, or 3) out to get us
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] yosif yackson:
Ah excuse me feller but you can record with ffc using showme video message app sgs4g rocks and it's pretty awesome too
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Ok, so im big on the social networking apps, etc. I go to even open the market, it takes maybe 20-30 seconds for the network to be up when I start up the market. Otherwise when I open it directly when not using the network for a while, it ends up saying "no network connection ". this happen with anyone else? I dunno i'm used to my old iPhone and this never happened to me, maybe it's just an android, or just an Atrix issue alone.
[HTC Sensation] ariel123:
Can aneone provide the apk for music download I can't find it on market
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
Go 4shared and search for music junk its discontinued I use it to download sometimes works great for mixtape music
[HTC Sensation] ariel123:
it still works on my galaxy tab. but i guess i can do 4shared or just download it from the tab and then bluetooth it to the phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theothman:
I need to bring back Galaxy s to the way I bought it. and end my long story thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154130

or at least can any one explain why this version has disappeared and all links cut off.

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
getting back to "original' froyo has a lot to do with what type of galaxy s phone you have.

Since your one thread says you have a i9000m, then nothing in the vibrant section is of any good to you. you're more likely to get some support in the i9000 section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theothman:
I Always thought All Galaxy s I9000 are Vibrant

You could be right, I'll check this out. I always thought they are the same

actually I did not see the word vibrant on boot, I only saw Galaxy s I9000M. but now I see Galaxy s I9000 then the word vibrant.

Thank you

Agreed! I9000 post in I9000 THREAD = WINNING!
[General Topics] Innocent Devil:
So we have been seeing different versions of ROMs getting leaked/released for all those HTC phones.

I always wondered how these 4 dotted numbers differentiate.

These are my findings.

anybody knows better, am happy to correct.

Let's start,

All HTC ROMs have a common versioning scheme,

in the format

Android-marker :

This indicate the Major android update released for the Device, ie if the device released with FroYo and later updated to Gingerbread.

Initial version is 1 (FroYo) next 2 (Gingerbread) and so on..
​

Revision :

This shows the internal revisions/modifications done with the android source release used by the company.

It also has carrier modifications in the second digit.

eg. HTC releases 1.30.xxx.x and T-Mobile modifies it for their phones and revises the version to 1.31.xxx.x

If HTC do some update/revision they update the first digit.

eg. 1.3x.xxx.x --> 1.7x.xxx.x --> 1.8x.xxx.x
​

Region :

This field gives the region to which the Firmware is released

This is a 3 digit field

First digit gives major region,second and third give the country and may be the operator also.

eg.

405 - Europe ??

415 - UAE ???

466 - Egypt

483 - France - Bouygues

531 - USA - T-Mobile

707 - China ??

708 - HK

709 - Taiwan

720 - India - Unbranded

666 - Canada -Bell Mobility

861 - Australia - Hutch

841 - Australia -Telstra

73 - France Orange

1107 - UK - Tesco

110 - UK - T-Mobile

and

subversion/patchlevel :

I have no idea what this indicates..:confused:
​

From this we can identify

RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.4 is a HTC Desire Z FroYo European ROM

RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8 is a HTC Desire HD Gingerbread European ROM

Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.14.707.1 is a HTC Flyer Gingerbread Chinese ROM

Hope you have got the idea of what it is...:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] telerian:
Is it possible to extract the ROM of android HTC DZ ?

if yes,

- does it have to be rooted ?

- Can I flash it on another phone (same model) ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Not exactly clear what you are trying to do. Are you trying to migrate an exact image of your current phone (with settings, data, etc) to another phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] telerian:
Here is what am trying to do:

My phone does not have Arabic since I bought it from the UK and my friends here have the Middle East version which contains Arabic. HTC refuses to install the Arabic on phones with IMEI not for the Middle East so I was thinking if I can take a copy from another ME phone.

Is it clear ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
why dont you just download more locale 2 from the market and add arabic language

i think youre gonna save a LOT of time ; )
[G2 and Desire Z General] telerian:
Android 2.2 does not support Arabic and so there is no such thing as Arabic language in Market.

Android 2.2 displays Arabic letters but from left to right and not connected. HTC added layer to support correct RTL script and this is what am looking for
[G2 and Desire Z General] jaetelha:
It might save you the hassle or create more, but there is an Arabic rom posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933961
[G2 and Desire Z General] telerian:
Thanks for the help, this is great except for one thing; it is Android 2.2 while my phone currently is running on 2.2.1 so it is a sort of going back
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Similar to above suggestions, I think what you want to do if flash either a custom ROM, or an official ROM, which supports Arabic. Either way, you'll need to be rooted, plus S-Off and SuperCID. This would be easier than doing a ROM dump from your friends phone (and you would still need to be rooted to flash that).
[G2 and Desire Z General] telerian:
My problem was not finding official Arabic ROM (now found) and almost all custom ROMs do not include Arabic support. I am proceeding with rooting :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] telerian:
I flashed the thing on my mobile, it has 1.83 firmware which removed my root. Now am downgrading the f/w again

Here you can find a lot of stock ROMs

[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Their is almost nothing on their facebook about the unlocked bootloader. Maybe they decided it is not worth their time since most people forgot about it already or simply do not care. We need to keep bombarding them with emails and posts just like we did when it was first announced. If HTC thinks that we have forgotten or no longer care then they might not even bother. Persistence is key!
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
its been done already. Trust me, if they wanna do it they will, if they go back on their word it will be a mess for them. I dont think the emails are going to do any better at this point, since they have already said it, and what more can we get from them? Now its in the hands of the decision makers as when to release it. Sending them email it probably a waste of your time and theirs, bunch of people have done and they say they will unlock it. I dont think you are going to hear anything different.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Its time for people to start actually returning their phones. Not only that, but post on FB/Twitter and tag HTC in the post.
[HTC EVO 3D] x.melvin.x:
its all about that people saw that devs here at xda are close to this, so they dont care anymore
[HTC EVO 3D] bluebrent420:
Them not mentioning the bootloader is not a reason for everyone to just give up on the 3d. This is an extremely nice phone that hasn't been out for 2 weeks, be patient people it'll come.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
I just don't think that will be especially helpful. But I dont mind posting on their fb page later today. Ill just ask for a date.
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
They have already stated that they will unlock the 3D but they are working out the details. It will happen but it might be another month or more before it actually happens. Emailing them isn't going to make it happen faster. And returning your phone isn't going to cause them to do anything either. We are a minority ourselves and then there is a minority of the minority that would be willing to return their phones which isn't enough volume to make HTC even blink.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
what do you mean 'YOU people'??? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] bricky23:
So, what happens if I do return the Evo 3d? If I don't get another phone, and use an older phone that I have, will my upgrade status be set to a full upgrade? Or do I have to get another new phone? Will I still have a 2 year contract, or will it be reset to what it was? Just wondering, because I don't know what other phone I would get. Also If I return it now, can I buy it again at discount price once Htc unlocks it? I know there are a lot of people here who work for sprint. Also, I purchased it from RS if that makes a difference. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
What do YOU mean "you people"?

:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryan00:
Htc does not care if you return your phone. Sprint buys the phones from HTC, then sprint sells the phones with their plans. HTC has their money they already sold the phones to sprint. So if you return the phone HTC could care less its no money out of their pocket. It would be sprints loss more then anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Let's not forget that HTC NEVER said they would unlock the EVO 3D bootloader. They said they would change their policies on FUTURE devices. They also stated that since the EVO 3D was already far into production that their statement did not apply to the EVO 3D but that they are reviewing whether or not to unlock the bootloader for the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I'm all for being patient and the phone is currently still kicking ass in spite of Sense..but...we are losing developers. Perhaps not right this second, but, with every minute that goes by we march closer and closer the the 30 day window closing more and more devs are wondering what to do, keep it or get the SGS2 which will be no problem to dev for?

It's going through nearly ever users mind (here) and probably every devs mind. HTC is dragging their heels, developers are losing interest, users are getting scared...HTC has their money, what do they care if they take 3 months? By then developer interest will be close to gone and if/when we get CM8 it will be extra buggy for us for a while...and a month or two later the next big phone I'm going to get will be announced...

I think this screen is absolutely gorgeous and going to the SGS2 would be a giant downgrade in resolution--screw the overblown colors, compare your EVO3D to your EVO4G side by side...the resolution difference will be missed...

...but, I miss theming, custom roms, custom kernels, overclocking, wifi tether, the security in having a nandroid backup, the security in knowing that if I **** something up *I* can fish around in there and fix it--which I currently lack.

I amazing devs are doing all they can, and I thank them graciously for their efforts...and perhaps HTC will unlock the phone--eventually--but will that be soon enough to save our "scene"?

After keeping an eye on the dev threads for the 3D and Sensation I see a lot of brilliant ideas being thrown around. Some seriously clever people in there...but also some very major roadblocks in this phone, all very intentionally engineered to keep us out.

I guess what I'm getting at is: What is everybody elses "worst case scenario" plan? If i bring the phone back and it gets cracked the next day I can always go buy another one. What phone will most of the user community migrate to? What of developers?

Mine is to bring back my phone on the 30th day if it is not cracked or officially unlocked. Then wait for for the SGS2...(my only concern being the crappy radio, but, the EVO3D has a pretty weak radio too). If during my wait the EVO3D is cracked or unlocked I have the option to buy that again, or even wait longer...

thoughts?

[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I attempted to put Phiremod onto my NC, but I formatted the boot partition so it doesn't start up. What's the easiest way to get my Nook going again?
[Nook Color General] cityoke2:
Try using a CWR SD Card, and either flashing a nightly zip, or one of the U-Boot files floating around.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I think I just need to flash a proper boot file, which should I try for either CM7 or Phiremod?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Can anyone help me out? The sticky seems a bit outdated or maybe it's just confusing me.

I have a 2GB uSD card and I just want to try out Phiremod and the stable CM7 to see which I prefer. Do I have really have to restore to stock just to overwrite it again?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I decided to completely restore to stock firmware to see if I could get this thing to work. I downloaded the complete 1.0.1 zip, loaded it on my CWM recovery uSD card, formatted boot, system, data, and cache, flashed the recovery zip and then rebooted.... Didn't boot

I need help, what am I missing?
[Nook Color General] SillyRice:
Follow sticky carefully, it works.
[Nook Color General] ShutterPeep:
Do the 8 re-boot step. There is also a boot fix zip file or recovery zip file you can flash via your CWM SD.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I flashed the 3.2.0.8 recovery zip, but it still doesn't boot
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Download this to your CWM sd card. And this. Then put in your CWM sd card, boot it up, flash the update_nc_stock_1.2.zip file, then ManualNooter. Take out the sd card and reboot. Should have stock + root.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Thank you, but I don't even want to use the B&N software. Either CM7 or Phiremod.

Can't I just repair the boot partition?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I went ahead and flashed the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip then manual nooter

Took the card out and rebooted, nothing happens
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Did you reboot? What do you see?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Nothing, screen doesn't come on
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Help please!
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Oh. Have your tried flashing this?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Where did you find that on the CM site? All I found under Nook Color were the 'update' zips

Downloading now
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Ahh, it's a nightly CM7 build... I assume that it will completely format the EMMC?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Downloaded and flashed the latest nightly zip, still won't boot.........
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Anyone else have any ideas I could try?
[Nook Color General] reese.leblanc:
Perhaps I missed where you said you did it, but go back and take the Nook completely back to stock. I umderstand that you said you don't want to use to stock software at all, but you need to get it back to factory so you can at least boot the device.

Once you've done that, go ahead and follow the directions TO THE LETTER to load your CM7 or Phiremod.

Cliffs Notes: Trying to repair something when you can't even boot is a bit silly. Just start from square one and root. Enjoy!
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I flashed two different complete restore zips and both won't boot on their own
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Holy crap! Your Nook looks pretty screwed. Hmm.... Try a bootable CM7 sd card. Maybe we could repair it from there.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Thing is, I didn't do anything crazy. I just used my CWM SD card to format system, cache, data and boot while messing with the two Honeycomb ROMs floating around
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
right, but try a cm7 bootable uSD
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Where can I find one of those?
[Nook Color General] TainT:
This is the one I use to fix corrupted boot partitions.....

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16716713/repartition-boot-with-stock.zip

So....on your bootable SD you are going to have the file i just linked too.

Your CM flavor of choice or phiremod and a Gapps.

Flash the repair boot partition .zip

the CM 7 you have choosen and the the Gapps.

Ive done a few that way for non-techies and it has worked for em.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Yep, didn't work!

I've been thinking my CWM SD version was old, so I wrote a new image 3.0.2.8, then copied the repartition-boot-with-stock.zip and the Phiremod.zip to the card. I then flashed them both, Nook will not boot on its own still
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Is there a tried and true method starting from square 1 getting Nooks back to stock?
[Nook Color General] martian21:
CWM 3.0.2.8 is actually still old. If you have a Nook with the new partition scheme then you need the latest CWM.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I've had my Nook since December
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Is there any hope for me?
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Take it to BN. Say one day you turned it off and it would not turn on again.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I don't exactly want to give up, these things are not brickable. It's me who isn't doing something right
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Well if about 3 pages of solutions haven't worked for you, I'm pretty sure you should suck it up and go to a BN store instead of hopelessly flashing and flashing and flashing.
[Nook Color General] martian21:
But have you changed your partition scheme?
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
The only thing with partitions I've done is something with EXT4 compatibility on CWM Recovery cards. Not sure if that's what you mean.
[Nook Color General] fattire:
Can you outline exactly what you've tried, w as much detail as you can, and where it fails for you... including any instructions you followed, the last thing you did before it went to ****, and what bootable sds you've tried? Bonus points for detailing your os, sd, and whether you are using adb...
[Nook Color General] chrysilis:
Hey thereddog,

Does you nook do absolutely nothing when you attempt to turn it on without a SD inserted? I have had that issue for ever except mine won't boot from SD either but does show up as OMAP 3630 when plugged into PC so assume not dead.

I was dual booting from EMMC (I know... stupid) rooted stock and nookie froyo then installed CM7 on top of that which was working fine until one day it wouldn't boot. Seemed to be after it had run out of battery completely once. I have since tried for hours different SDs which all work on my wife's nook fine so not that. I started to think the SD slot was dead so have been considering replacing it.

Can't take back to BN since we are in Australia.

Hopefully whatever helps you will help me too :) I am happy to test whatever you guys come up with!
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
After I flash whatever zip is needed, I use the CWR reboot selection to restart my NC with no SD card but nothing happens.

I've tried several ROMs, Phiremod, CM7, HCv4 EMMC v2. I use WinImage to write a 2GB CWR image to my SD card with my Win 7 x64 Pro machine. Before flashing the various zips with CWR, I would format cache, system, data, and boot to make sure of no conflicts. After I flash any zip, which are all successful, my NC will not boot at all without a CWR card inserted.

I had stock rooted running fine a few months back, then HCv2 came out and I tried that. I managed to get it running but didn't like how buggy it was. So I flashed an RC of CM7 over, but it was still a bit buggy because of conflicting files. Like the HC wallpaper was still there while on CM7 and I was getting a bunch of forced close errors

I think that's when I reformatted everything included boot, bricked it, shrugged and put it away for a month or two. Now I'm here trying to get either CM7 or Phiremod going again
