[HTC Desire S] HA4ever:
Very Big thanks to all people who made this possible (I can't mention names cuz they are too many :D)
​

The Easy Guide:

1- Check your Hboot version from the Bootloader (by switch on your device while holding volume-dwon button) , if it's 0.98.0000 then you are lucky and go to step #3 otherwise go to step #2.

2- Now you need to downgrade your Hboot, the safest way is by flashing old offical rom that has Hboot version 0.98.0000 (e.g. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release). Fallow the steps in this thread How to DOWNGRADE Desire S with S-ON, keep in mind you will lose all data when downgrading your rom.

3- Use the AlphaRevX Public Beta 2 tool to S-OFF your device by fallowing the instructions in this guide [AlphaRevX] Public Beta 2 for Desire S.

4- (Optional) Flash recovery via Rom Manager, or use this 4EXTRecovery v2.1 (personally, I prefer the last one:D ).

If you want ENG HBOOT instead of AlphaRevX Hboot, check this [MISC] ENG HBOOT is here !

Important Note: when you have ENG HBOOT in your device, DO NOT flash any offical rom unless you know what you are doing, cuz your S-OFF Bootloader will be replaced with S-ON version that come with the offical rom..
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Nice guide although I believe that the last step step 5 is unnecessary, as I believe that the alpharevx hboot is patched to contain the same functionality as the ENG hboot, at least that's what ieftm posted.
[HTC Desire S] neomis:
That's exactly what I thought too
[HTC Desire S] HA4ever:
yeah that's right, moreover the alpharevx hboot will not flash bootloader from PG881IMG official rom file

I'll change it now :)
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
The eng hboot is NOT modifyed . The REAL deal. i belive alpharevxs is text edited ..no other reasons to change it, as it have the functions.

Thx

After looking at both mine and my wife's e3d it seems like that's the way its supposed to be. Neither of ours has the phone icon in the app drawer either. I guess htc just assumes everyone uses their launcher with the giant FN phone button.

[Galaxy S II General] Nour826:
So what does this Yellow Exclamation Mark appearing while turning on my SGS II refer to?

I noticed, originally didn't have it but it appeared after taking my phone to Samsung sponser to update my software to allow Arabic language support!

Although I'm shifting from my old HTC Desire HD, I'm not familier with flashing new ROMs & these issues. I don't even know how to make it.

One more observation I noticed after the update, is that the connection to the official phone software update server always fails. Originally, it was working with "No Updates Available" result!

I wonder what did they make to my phone which may have caused this & how can I fix it!

Please advice!
[Galaxy S II General] irvinmic:
Afaik it means your phone is rooted. It is running a non samsung original kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
seems they installed what we call here a "custom rom" , meaning, a non-official one.

the yellow triangle only indicates that the phone is flashed with a non officially released rom .

strange, if that's where you bought your phone, that they flashed it with that :confused:

as long as you got this trinagle, you won't be able to update via KIES, which is normal cause it manages only official samsung release.
[Galaxy S II General] AllWin:
True.

False.

To OP: Get USB jig if you wanna use custom kernels. It will remove yellow triangle and reset download counter ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Nour826:
Just checking my Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKF1-CL277308 root@DELL154#2

Yes it seems strange! But maybe when you know I'm living in Kuwait it explains the issue as it seems that was the only way for them to get the Arabic language support to the devices in sold in Middle East!

The question is that why Samsung has not realeased this support officially? So many older Samsung devices already supports Arabic! & who then made this ROM for SGS II rather than Samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] Nour826:
I am not familier with this USB jig how can I get it? Does it support Arabic?
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
damn, this usb jig reselling seems to be flourishing ...

We don't even know what samsung intend to do with this counter anyway ( and i remember ChainFire saying that there is an hidden one ).

That's not Nour826 who has flashed the phone, but the people where he/she has bought it.

The usb jig is a micro-usb that you insert in the micro USB port to get rid of the triangle at boot and to force reset the flash counter for custom rom that you can see in Download mode (when maintaining VOL down + HOME + power when the phone is off )
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
I may be pulling stuff out of my arse here, but can't you get rid of the triangle by just flashing the proper kernal to you firmware ( something like that?).
[Galaxy S II General] Nour826:
Thank you Amrael! It seems you guys are using your phones in a different way than what I used to know ;))))

It is really appriciatd if you can guide me with any links that explains ROMs from scratch as I told you my information about is almost Zero!

If I am to LEARN to flash a new ROM, which of them is the best & SUPPORTING ARABIC LANGUAGE?
[Galaxy S II General] BengalMigration:
You can grab the USB jig here:

(well, i would post a link, but this forum is damn unfriendly to us noobs it appears. I can't thank the developer for the custom rom I've installed because I don't have enough posts, and now I can't post a link to the jig because I don't have enough posts for that either...)

Do a google search for mobiletechvideos. That should get you in the right direction.

The jig works like a charm. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
mmmh as starter, you can try this post i think, in the android dev section :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

i've checked it quickly, but it seems that the firmware JPKF2 have arabic (not sure, but the CSC of this firmware is for arabic countries ).

if it does what you seek, you will end with an official rom, unrooted, and able to see updates via KIES

all i've learned is by reading a lot in here and with my past months with my old SGS :)

It's not really hard, but the first time you try it's always a big stress :p

i'm now able to theme my phone myself (well, with the help of romkitchen.org too :p ) but i'm far from what i would call a "developper" anyway.

And i won't call the ability to copypaste some icons from a zip to another being a developper anyway ^^.
[Galaxy S II General] Nour826:
Thank you Amrael & all of you guys, you are really more than cooperative here in specially with a "Starter" like me :))

For sure I will give it a look & a deeper research. Hopefully I am not going to damage my loved new phone. Will feed you back if it happens ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Nour826:
Hi Amrael!

Back again, I am now & thanks to your valuable advice, running a newer ROM for the first time in my Android life :))

My experience with this update was little nervous! I do felt as if I am destroying my mobile! But, it worked!

Results were as follows:

Quite went against my expectations not to lose any any of my settings, applications, or information. It has started back with even my wallpaper settings & home screen Widgets!

Only what seems to be removed through this update by Samsung, is the Music Hup as originally it was giving a message that music hup is not currently supported in my country. No worry! Music was never was of my interests :)

Good news that I have no more Yellow Triangles while starting which indicates I am running an official kernel as I understand!

The bad news that I am still not able to connect to the update servers!

Which I think I am still in need to your advice about ;))))

I have already uploaded couple of pictures above indicating the new kernel I am currently running, & the failure message received everytime I try to check for updates.

Once again, I do thank you for giving me this experience anyhow. & sorry for the long post!
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Would you be kind enough to link us to ChainFire posting this, as I've only ever seen the hidden counter said as rumour and would certainly trust it more if I'd seen him say it.
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
@nour826 :

don't worry with the OTA server, seems it's still not used by samsung ( at least , not in our countries.).

We had it too in SGS roms, and it never worked.

To my understanding, it's supposed to replace Kies for upgrades.

@johncmolyneux :

i will try to find back where ChainFire was talking about the hidden counter, but was a few month ago now.

i remember he was not completely sure of that either and i've not actively followed this.

ha , i've found that back ; was in the second page of the CF-root kernel :

@Nour826

Hi, I have the exact same situation as yours (yellow triangle, exact same kernel version). I bought my SG2 here in Qatar. Perhaps this is a Middle East issue.

So am I correct in assuming that the phone is already rooted. How does one confirm this. Also when you flashed a new ROM; your Kernel version changed. Did you flash a different Kernel as well. Which ROM did you use and are you happy with it?

Thanks.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tillum:
Hi folks. Firstly, could some kind mod please create an Archos Gen9 category, and move this thread into it? You will then be beyond wonderful...

I've been looking at potential tablets for awhile, and am attracted to the Archos Gen9 devices coming out for their potential modability. I'm keen for feedback on this, and to start a discussion thread. Please post for your ideas and comments.

What interests me most:

1. They run an omap4 chipset, which is well supported (with graphics acceleration) under Ubuntu's arm port. Also, Texa Instruments, the makers of the omap chips, have a great linux community around them.

2. They have 2 x 1.5 ghz processors, along with a myriad of other goodies in their chips

3. Both the 80 and 101 models have options for a hard drive. The hard drive interests me less than the space put aside to put one in, and the sata conector that goes along with it. My hopes are it's relatively easy to open up the tablet, then switch out the drive for a fast ssd. Toshiba has a 7mm ssd drive coming out that works with a sata connection. Otherwise, a 5mm 1.8inch mini-sata drive might work, if it was packed out.

4. The last couple versions of the Archos system seem to have a developers version with it, so (hopefully) one could replace Armstrong with Ubuntu's arm port with minimal hassle. Regardless, a modified Ubuntu image should work fine with this device.

Anyone keen on this? I'd like to know your thoughts on hardware modability, and alternative software that can load on these devices. I'm looking at replacing my netbook with a tablet, and seems these upcoming Archos devices might be just the ticket. Lastly, does anyone know if the 16gb solid state drives shipping with the lighter models are likely to be soldiered onto the board, or is it possible to swap them with something else, like the ssd drives included in the eepc's and acer netbooks. Cheers.

Well, one processor, but 2x 1.5GHz cores.

Apparently the G9 101 flash versions will only have a 1GHz chip (probably the OMAP 4430), as well as the G9 80 8GB model. The other models will be clocked at 1.5GHz, running the OMAP 4460.

80 G9 8GB: 1.0GHz 299$
80 G9 16GB: 1.5GHz 329$
80 G9 250GB: 1.5GHz 369$

101 G9 8GB: 1.0GHz 369$
101 G9 16GB: 1.0GHz 399$
101 G9 250GB: 1.5GHz 469$

Source: https://store.archos.com/archos-p-5016.html

https://store.archos.com/archos-p-5017.html

Not really any reason for Archos to not include an SDE like they have been for the last two generations.

They aren't solid state drives. Theyr'e flash memory chips, and yes they are soldered on the board. They will likely operate the exact same way as last generation's chip, where they hosted the OS and the app storage, so they won't be replacable.

Also, it isn't way too early to start a G9 section. Most major hyped phones that come out get a section a month or so before they come out. Around next month would be a good time to start a G9 section (or start it now and have the mod for it make an announcement, and then only make a "General" section until they actually come out). People will continually post about the G9 devices here in the G8 section, because this is the only Archos section on XDA. If there were a G9 section, we could keep things separated.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tillum:
Thanks for that Harfainx. Of course, that makes more sense about the flash memory chips. I still wonder how modable the rest of ths flash based units are, but think I'll be going for the hard drive versions, and pulling them apart. I'm still stoked Archos is putting in a sata hard disk to begin with, hers should be heaps more options for hacking it.

And yes, if this is the only place for people to post on XDA about the gen9 devices, this is where they will go. The fact that people are already posting means thaf we should have an area setup for gen9. Or at least have and archos area, with gen 8 and 9 under it. Cheers.

Personally I don't much care for Samsung phones. They tend to be plastic'y and cheaply built. But the "Now" app, which is what this thread is about...aka: not Samsung...does more than my HTC's Hub.
