[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
This issue has only been happening recently, but I don't know what to make of it. All of my contacts are stored as 10-digit phone numbers on my phone (area code+7-digit phone number). I don't have any SIM contacts or Google contacts. For some reason, while I can text everyone just fine using the stored numbers, *sometimes* replies come from completely malformed numbers. For example, if I send a text to 123-123-1234, I'll get a reply from 123-312-31234. All my replies will come from the number with the random extra digit mixed in, but I can only send messages to the original 10-digit number for them to actually be sent. This has never happened to me with calls so far, just texts. What could be causing this? :confused:

Noob Question: Do I flash this using CWM, or unzip and use a fastboot command?
[Atrix 4G General] tsouza:
This is not an update.zip you must manually unzip, copy and properly set permissions...

Someone could make an update.zip though... unfortunatelly I lack the skills...

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] IrshaadH:
What do you mean by properly setting permissions?
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Using something like Root Explorer you need to change the permissions.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Permissions for all the audio files need to be set at RW/R/R

Using Root Explorer you can change system to R/W, long press on each file, then select change permissions from the menu, then set them per what I said.
[Atrix 4G General] tsouza:
Using Root Explorer, go to /system/media/audio/ui, long press any file and select "permissions", a window will show up with a configuration of checkboxes. The permissions of any new file you copy there must be set to the same configuration.

[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
I have successfully custom flashed Sense 3.0 with 2.3 gingerbread for my incredible S phone. It only took 3 long days. I am very happy but what now? I want this to be my permanent ROM. Is there anything else that I am recommended to do now? I was reading about how you can make your phone almost like a stock phone meaning S-OFF and Unroot. Not too sure if that is necessary. What do you guys think?
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
please provide more info..

what Custom Rom are you on and how did you flash Sense 3.0.

there's a lot of threads hear and your initial details really don't provide much useful information.
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
I am on Virtuous Unity 1.27.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid, I flashed it through 4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_RC1_vivo.

I also had to flash a radio file to my ROM afterwards. I did that through the SDK software. Instructions from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_FAQ Here is a list of Radio files for your specific provider/region : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12870734&postcount=1

I S-OFF'd my phone through Alpha RevX..there is also a you tube tutorial on how to do it. If anyone has anymore questions on how to do it then msg me!

So now what is left to do?????? Any other procedures? Besides flashing more Roms!
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
saying the custom rom, radio, cwm would have been enough information. anyways i see that you're new so it's all good.

so the question is, What do you want to do with your phone. after customizing it, are you okay with performance? no bugs? What do YOU want to do with your phone?
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
I want to permanantly make it my OS. Is that possible? I posted all of that because when I was figuring out how to do this I found that other peoples solutions helped me out alot :P tee hee
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
guys I think this belongs in "General"
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
What do you mean 'permanently make it my OS'? That ROM will stay on your phone as long as you want it, until you decide you want to flash a different one. There's no need to go trying to lock it down again after flashing it, that's a pointless exercise.
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
Dude you're S-OFF and rooted now, there is nothing else to do other than installing custom ROMs or flashing radios(if needed) Virtious Unity is now your ROM, if you want to revert back to what the phone came with, you will need to flash a official RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
Awesome thanks for the reply :P
[HTC Incredible S] exnerjan:
Hi, I need the S-ON. everywhere let me just advise'll update RUU, but I did and I still have the S-OFF. You know how to solve it? I need back guarantee. :confused:

thank you very much.
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
you need to go S-ON again? you used alpharevx? If so, just flash the whole official RUU and you will be S-ON again since it would also flash the bootloader.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
That is a common misconception. Apparently AlphaRevX's HBOOT prevents a RUU from overwriting it. There have been several posts about running an RUU on an AlphaRevX S-OFF IncS and the ROM does indeed update, but the device is still S-OFF and AlphaRevX HBOOT is still in place.
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
Awesome man, thats what I wanted to hear :P
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
You mean I wont be able to recover my old settings if I have restored it?

I dont care really if I cant. Is it because I am now 2.3 gingerbread????

Well it doesnt matter because I love this new ROM and will be keeping it forever :P
[HTC Incredible S] tontiv:
uh oh this is bad. no more warranty for my phone :s
[HTC Incredible S] exnerjan:
and know how to do it to the S-ON? Please.
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
I haven't tried it myself so I guess you're true, when I flashed the stock RUU I flashed it without the bootloader file (unzip,delete,zip) as stated in a thread regarding keeping S-OFF when installing stock RUU. A guy has found the solution to going S-ON again in his thread in the general discussion section.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes I saw that this morning. Basically AlphaRevX has a special HBOOT you can 'downgrade' with that you must flash and then using the special HBOOT you can flash an official HTC HBOOT. End result is S-OFF and you have a standard HTC HBOOT.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carter.v.15:
Hi everyone,

I'm running a rooted Transformer HC 3.1 and Netformer overclocking kernel.

Today I got an OTA update notification, and the update is already downloaded on my TF. I have chosen to postpone the update since I know it will fail, but I can only do this 3 times.

Questions:

1. Is there a way to cancel the update completely at this point?

2. If I let it try to update I know it will fail, but will the device still be usable normally i.e. exactly like before the attempted update?

3. Is there a way to unroot the TF without wiping the data? I would hate to have to set everything up again.

Thanks for your quick help, it seems that I don't have much time before the forced update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
I'm rooted also,if you go to this thread here and read it from front to back,i think you will find your answer... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171116

I'm gonna wait for a bigger update or a rooted version of this update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carter.v.15:
Thanks, I 've read through the whole thread.

I don't think anyone mentioned being able to cancel the update though. Perhaps deleting the downoaded installation file would help, I might try just that...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyz:
Is it possible to disable the charging process when the TF is docked? Because I think the frequent charging will deplete the lifespan of the battery of both the tablet and dock.

Hence, it would be good if we are able to take control of the charging process, only to allow charging when the tablet is really low on power.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Best of my knowledge I don't think there is. That said, I doubt the recharging scheme docked will have a major impact on the lifespan of our TF batteries. Yes, rechargeable batteries do have a "charge/recharge lifespan" but the technology has improved so much I suspect you'll replace your TF long before the battery stops charging/recharging.

IMHO of course. :)

And this thread might need to be moved to General? Mods?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:
I would guess that this is not something that can be controlled by the software, and that this is a hardware-only process.

BIG THANKS TO MUR4IK FOR THIS TOOL! Be sure to donate to him and support his work!

Cannot get the builder to run or use Linux/Mac? Solution here! :D

In this guide I will be showing you how to resize your data + system partitions for more/less space.

Things you will need:

LG GT540 w/ A Fastboot ROM installed

LG drivers and Fastboot/ADB drivers installed

Windows (with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. If you have trouble launching the program, (re)install .NET 3.5 SP1. Also this tool will not work with Wine on Linux.)

Your phones USB cable.

WARNING: MAKE SURE TO NANDROID BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE CHANGING THE PARTITION SIZES! YOU MAY NEED IT LATER. ALSO, THIS TOOL DOES NOT REMOVE RECOVERY.

First of all, grab the SwiftBootloaderBuilder.zip from http://kulkoff.com/swift/ or from here.

(Mur4ik's site is recommended)

Next, put your phone into Fastboot Mode (Camera+Power)

Extract the files to your Desktop using any archiving program. Then go to the folder you extracted. Right Click and Select 'Run as Administrator'

You will see a window like this pop up:

Now we can alter the partition sizes. If you want the same effects as Mur4ik's 234MB DATA KDZ, choose 150MB system, and the data column will change accordingly. If you want a bit more system space (eg. To run airbus360's LG Optimus One ROM) Select 190 system. Basically, adjust the settings to how you want. My recommendations are:

For SwiftDroid, joe.stone AOSP, airbus360 AOSP, EleganceSwift, MMXTREM 2.1 Lite, Quarx Black ROM: 150 system 234 data

For airbus360 Optimus One: 190 system 194 data

For stock 2.1: 250 system 134 data

Once you have decided on the size you want, hit 'Flash New Bootloader' and confirm you really want to do this. You will get a 'Done' message and then click OK. Select 'Wipe Data' and then Reboot Device. After you click reboot, hold down HOME until recovery pops up.

Now you have two choices. Either install a new ROM from scratch, or restore your nandroid backup you made earlier.

This tool also has the option to remove fastboot and recovery from the device, so you can return to stock firmware, and possibly use regular LG updates again.

Thats it!

If you've got any questions, PM me or reply to the thread.

Also, don't forget to say if I helped!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Anyone with WinXP SP3 32-bit has got it working successfully?? I still can't make it work. Resizing, removing fastboot & recovery doesn't work for me.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
not sure it works on 32bit. it was tested by mur4ik using a 64bit windows7 computer.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
It works on 32bit Win7
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] thanatos87:
Works perfectly for me on win7 32bit! thanks for making this!!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
I have only tried on Windows 7, but i'll try it on my netbook soon (that runs XP)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Working fine for me (XP SP3 w/ .NET 3.5 SP1) No issues at all, also partitions resize ok too.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Hi. Thats should be added in header that this "tool" has a requirements MS .NET frameworks 3.5 SP1 and adove.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Mur4ik,

Because this tool can save the bootloader instead of flashing it, would it work to save the bootloader using the tool in Wine, then flashing it with fastboot (maybe a solution for Linux users) What would the command be to flash this boot bootloader?

Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
fastboot flash APPSBL your_file_filename.mbn
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Thanks, I will try later!

EDIT: Doesn't matter, .NET 3.5 SP1 wont install, also using Winetricks didn't help. But what I might do is, create a load of bootloader files (on my Windows machine) and then upload them, so users can flash w/ fastboot.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Anyone knows how to get fastboot on fresh stock ROM without that KDZ stuff? Coz I'd just bricked my phone (dead phone), but the LG people in India are too generous to fix it in two hours.

I won't take any risks with KDZ. But I'm missing Swiftdroid and other stuff. Please can someone tell how do I install fastboot somehow without using KDZ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
You could root your phone then use root explorer and copy the flash image file to the bin folder then run the command mur4ik posted in this thread but change fastboot to flash_image run the command in terminial that should work.

This is the command

su

flash_image APPSBL your_file_filename.mbn
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Which file should I flash? The one that's created by Swift Bootloader Builder? Will it enable fastboot? (ATM I don't have fastboot in my phone)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
You might be able to flash it using flash_image. But either: flash_image may not be able to access the appsbl partition or it may not be able to be changed 'on the fly' so to speak. You can try this, not sure if it will work, root is needed, not sure if it will brick your phone, I have not tried this method.

Download either:

150 system 234 data

250 system 134 data

and also download flash_image from here

Put the .mbn and flash_image file on your SDCard.

Open a terminal emulator and type the following:

su (press allow when prompt comes up)
cd /sdcard/
chmod +x ./flash_image (if this doesn't work, try chmod +x flash_image)
./flash_image appsbl appsboot_150_234_64.mbn (or appsboot_250_134_64.mbn)
sync

Now try entering fastboot and flash recovery. In theory, it should work.

oh snap, Eoghan beat me to it :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
@eoghan and effortless.

Thanks for your help, I'll try that later.

EDIT: One doubt, I don't think it's possible to resize partitions while using them.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Lets hope it works, then once at 2.1, there is no need for KDZ anymore (sort of)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
It will resize, as the partition table is only changed on boot (as far as I know)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Nope, it says "Can't find appsbl partition"
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
It might be case sensitive, try APPSBL instead
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:
Doesn't work. :(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
If you are worried about using KDZ (Trust me, I was after I bricked a while ago when updating to 2.1) As I had an issue with my USB ports where the device would stop being recognised half way through a large data transfer.

I found a solution on Microsoft's help centre. Try this.

First of all, make sure you are using a trackpad or PS2 mouse:

Go into Device Manager

Expand the 'Universal Serial Bus controllers' section,

Uninstall every 'Controller' (Usually at the top of the list)

Reboot.

Wait for all your devices to be recognised again, then try a flash, it worked for me.

Or an even simpler way, use another computer to flash fastboot. Hope it works.

[Sub-Tutorial] Solution for people who are unable to use builder and Linux/Mac users!

There are reports of Windows XP users having trouble running the bootloader builder. Also, Linux users are unable to use the builder too. I have a solution :D

I have pre-built some bootloader files for you, which you can flash via fastboot!

Here are some default sized bootloaders for you:

System:150 Data:234

System:190 Data:194

System: 250 Data: 134 (Default LG partition sizes, needed for Stock 2.1 ROMs and Enigma Soft Mod)

REMEMBER TO NANDROID BACKUP! (YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL IT LATER)

Download the one you want and put the phone in fastboot mode. Use the following command to flash it:

fastboot flash APPSBL your_file_name.mbn
fastboot reboot

If your phone sticks at its kernel screen, pull out the battery, put it back in, and then go into recovery. Now, restore your ROM.

If you need any specific partition size, just reply or PM me.

Also, don't forget to say if I helped!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
Very nice tool! Thanks Mur4ik!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
There are no posibilities to do it without a computer and already activated fastboot on your phone.

So with flash_image is not possible to rewrite your bootloaders.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] underdog2k9:
in the tutorial it says that you shall wipe!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] angemon10:
After flashing with this method, do I need to install new ROM? I guess I have (I plan to install Mur4ik CM7 RC2).

This happened to me, too.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Yes, when the partition sizes are changed, the system partition and maybe data partitions are formatted.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
No, not in all cases.

If new system size less than data in system before modifications then you need to reflash your ROM's.

For example data in your system partition 147MB and if you resize you system partition to 150MB, then you can just reboot your phone and all should (think so) work without reflash or wipe. If you have some problem then you can firstly make a wipe data.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Buffalo Soldier:
Didn't work on my laptop with XP, but worked great on my desktop PC with Win7. Maybe it has something to do with the way Win7 installs fastboot drivers (all by himself).

Again, thank you Mur4ik for this great tool and for great ROM (Swiftdroid v2.0 RC4).

Cheers...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
It works on XP if you use the sub-tutorial, well, it worked ok for me haha
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:
going to have a try using w7, after flashing should i reflash my current rom or just restore from nandroid backup ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Just use nandroid, unless you want to clean install your ROM.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] A13:
i did this and sucess.. but my mobile restarted when i click reboot device in eleganceswift which i have flashed?? is thatok?? my internal phone memeory shows available space 179MB..
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
That is ok, and btw, on some ROMs the available space may be lower than what you resized it to. This is because in some roms, the dalvik-cache is on the data partition and not the cache partition.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
Does resizing the system and data make more RAM for the phone????
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] max1919:
no, RAM doesn't depend on system partition
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
Then what does this do to the phone ??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] angemon10:
It works :D!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
It gives you more space for apps.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
Ok!!

Will this void my warranty even if

i flash 2.1 stock again???
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Not if you use the software *again* before you restore 2.1. However, this time you have to set system to be 250Mb, and flash. Then, remove fastboot and recovery to achieve a complete stock status of the bootloader. ;) Actually, you can probably skip all these, as any flashed stock kdz flashes a new untouched bootloader as well, unless it's a fastboot kdz, and after that partition sizes are normal.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
But what if i flash 2.1 stock using recovery

and remove recovery and fastboot after???

Also what is bootloader??

sorry 4 the noob question!!:confused:

i heard it helps your phone start up!!

But then other people are like something about

mur4ik bootloader!!:confused::confused:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
That should work too, but you must set the system size to 250 using the software *first*! Then, restore whatever backup you want of 2.1 using recovery, and, again using the software, remove recovery and fastboot.

A bootloader is essentially like the BIOS of a computer. It's the first 'software' that is run, when you turn on your phone. When it does the job it passes the ball to the kernel(boot.img), which in turn loads Android, and puts the phone in a usable state. "Mur4ik's bootloader" refers to the first modified such loader Mur4ik released with modified partition tables(system=150mb, etc.). That was before he released SwiftBootloaderBuilder, which now allows you to make your own bootloader with your own partition size preferences. I hope I've been helpful.. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
The bootloader is a part of your device's start up sequence. Basically, it reads the boot partition and then boots from it, loading the kernel, then filesystem and then Android. The 'Mur4ik bootloader' doesn't particularly exist, it is just the LG bootloader that Mur4ik modified to change data/system partition sizes, in this case, the bootloader builder does it for you.

If you flash the stock 2.1 using recovery, then remove fastboot, your phone may not boot, so I recommend using 'remove fastboot' function and then flashing a 2.1 non-fastboot KDZ.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
So i remove fastboot then i flash

any stock 2.1??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Yes. Thats all you need to do to get warranty back.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
So can i flash 2.1 stock

using recovery??

After i removed fastboot??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
No, you MUST use KDZ as recovery will be gone after you remove fastboot (hence the 'Remove fastboot & recovery' option in the bootloader builder.)

I have already told you how to do it in this post.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
Sorry!!

Yeah thank you!!!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] JotaJgreen:
I had done it... i hope that this tutorial works... now i'm waiting for the restore backup.. and then i will test if works better...
