[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I read your post on Ideastorm, and I have some comments.

1. My standard comment in these things is that in any complaint letter you explain what the problem is and what you want the resolution to be. Your complaint is that Dell isn't going to update the Streak to Gingerbread and the resolution is that Dell should update the Streak. I applaud you on that, because what you did is exactly what the last person who posted on this forum regarding Dell's decisions didn't do. That person ranted, rather than explaining what the problem was and what he wanted Dell to do about it.

With that said, do realize that Dell has in fact supported this device for a year and a half, and does in fact continue to support it. Now, whether you or I are satisfied with the level of support is a different issue altogether.

2. You mention Dell no longer supporting the Streak a month prior to its release. Did you just recently purchase your Streak? Reason being that Dell has had the Streak in its inventory for a year and a half, as I have already mentioned. In that time frame they have upgraded the OS from 1.6 to 2.2, then provided 2.2.2 after that. I have had my Streak since early April of this year, and there was a ROM upgrade available for me (347 to 351) at the end of April.

3. Your argument would have been strengthened had you left out the threat at the end. Dell simply isn't going to care whether you buy another Dell product or not. They already have your money for the Streak, and they already have the money for the other Dell you mention in your post. The future money you may spend is not even a blip on the radar.

4. Your argument would have been further strengthened had you gotten your facts on the AT&T Gingerbread upgrade correct. As written the AT&T factoid in your letter implies that every AT&T Android phone is going to get a Gingerbread upgrade, and that simply is not true. All AT&T phones released in 2011 are going to receive Gingerbread. The one exception to that is the Samsung Captivate, which was AT&T's top end phone in 2010. The HTC Aria and Motorola Backflip are not going to get the upgrade, because both have been discontinued.

5. Your alternative to the upgrade, releasing the drivers, is something I'm sure everyone wants to happen. However Dell has already said they will not release those drivers. On the one hand, it would be nice to have those drivers, but on the other hand, I understand why they don't want to do it. Asking for the drivers would be like asking HTC for the code to the Sense UI. It's just not gonna happen.

6. This is a minor nitpick, but your letter would have been more readable had it been broken into at least two if not three paragraphs.

Despite the nitpicking on my part, your letter was good, because it covered your issue, and how you wanted Dell to respond to it. We shall see whether they address your concern or not.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andril:
Well I guess it hit a chord with someone because my email and twitter account has been getting much attention.

The I also sent the same information to Michael Dell via Google+ so if everyone goes and puts their 2¢ in we can get something going.

Thanks for your input, if you are happy with 2.2 good. I expect my purchase to go farther. Speak Up!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] andypats1:
BY CONTINUING IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

1. Download the latest rom suitable for your device

2. Then have 7-Zip open the .exe file from the inside then take the RUU_SIGNED.nbu then copy it to your microsd then rename it to LEOIMG.nbu

3. Turn off your phone and insert your MicroSD card

4. Volume Down + End Call

5.When you get to bootloader stop holding End Call but keep holding Vol Down

It should update :D

If that doesn't work Use this method

1. Follow all the steps from above but with my special rom credit to xmoo

2. It should say Update Failed. Thats PERFECTLY normal. Remove the battery, put it back on, take out MicroSD card, Do a Hard Reset (Vol Up + Vol Down + End Call) when its shut off obviously. It should hard reset . Then when you have the RomUtilityUpdate.exe working now with your phone use it and it HAS to work.

Special ROM: http://xda.vbnhost.com:8080/HD2/ROM...dio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.zip

If it doesnt work, PM me il help you

Update!: Just hard reset and use the USB method
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Nice idea, maybe "noobs" will find your thread easier than the gazillion ones already existing discussing that very issue.

You might want to add a note what a) your special ROM does and b) if it really works with all Leo models.

It´s easy to say that it´s everybody´s own fault if they brick their phone, but without specific descriptions, there is an increased risk for fails.

Also, to complete the information, it would be great to add sources where to find stock ROMs (there are quite a few), and how to find out what one needs. During the past couple of months, I´ve seen quite a lot people asking these questions.

Even if it´s kind of basic....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
good point, for instance using usb flash it will not clear the SPL/magldr to factory default, does your special rom do this? in which case this would be quite useful as the bootloader does apear to be a bit picky with which SD card it will allow a SD card flash from

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moon2:
This one's a TMOUS rom? Will those roms work with the euro hd2's?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] andypats1:
Not required anymore, just hardreset and use the usb

method with your latest stock rom
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NateMozart:
[EDIT:] Sorry I pretty much solved my problem. It seems like its pretty mandatory that you have a formatted FAT32 1GB or less card.

I am know trying to figure out how to get NAND Android after installing the latest TMO ROM. Been a while since I've seen WINMO. Almost like a breath of fresh air :).

Sorry I'm having difficulties with this.

Can you tell me what the usb method is??

Greatly appreciate it! :)

(More INFO: Im trying to revert an HD2 TMO back to stock and I got the latest rom and renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh but when I try the bootloader it just gets stuck in the tri-color screen.)

AGAIN I would greatly appreciate your help.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizlee86:
Sorry for the thread title, but I really dont know how to explain my problem in a few words.

First of all, I´m brazilian, so sorry for my bad english (also, Google Translate is helping me lol).

Well, a friend of mine asked me to unlock and make phone calls possible on his T-Mobile Galaxy Tab (T849). He brought it from US a few days ago.

After a lot of searchs, I found a thread about exaclty what I wanted to do.

I did exactly what is told there and it worked! I even made a call to myself!

But then I tried to update the Tab to Gingerbread 2.3.3 from samfirmware.com

And my problems began.

Skipping the whole process to not bother you, the last thing I did was flash the TMobile Stock Rom with Odin. But now the screen just wont turn on! But I know the Tab is working! I turn it on and I can hear the boot sound. I press the unlock (on/off) button, slide my finger to unlock the Tab and when I press the touch buttons, the Tab vibrates. And also when I press the volumes buttons, I can hear the volume increasing and decreasing!

When I turn it off and try to boot on download mode, Odin recognizes it and when I try to flash a ROM, Odin does it and the Tab reboots, but the screen remains off. When I boot it on download mode, the screen doens turn on, I know that it is in download mode because of the "Added" information on Odin.

Does anybody know what might be the problem?

I know I screwed up everything when I tried to update.

Anyway, I tried everything. But nothing works.

Thanks in advance!

Well! Problem solved!

Just flashed 001001-GB-stock-safe_v5!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
The modem switch will work with the new gingerbread too. Just set out up the same way.

To root the gingerbread you have to flash the CF-Root v3.3 kernel. If you don't, the gscript won't work.

Hold the vol down and power button as you boot scroll using vol down untill u see android recovery and push vol up once that goes into rcovery hit the bottom left or right of the screen and use the vol buttons to navigate with the power button as the selecter choose factory reset/data wipe

In qualcomm's website,it says msm7227 support 720p h264 encoder and decoder at 15 fps,and h263 en/decoder at 30 fps.

but i have tried in my viewpad7,only h264 playback is supported, i find a file libOmxH264Dec.so in /system/libs but no libOmxH264Enc.so,and it seems that there is no h263 en/encoder in my phone, if you have a msm7227 phone,please have a look,is there a libOmxH264Enc.so in your phone? thanks!

i found this,

the h263 encoder and decoder is libOmxVidEnc.so libOmxMpeg4Dec.so, but in the source file i find avc encoder is the same one of h263 encoder, is it a decoder combine h264 and h263?
[Vibrant General] jstan613:
I fully bricked my vibrant by using 2.3 bootloaders and flashing back to stock 2.1 without flashing eclair/froyo bootloaders first (duh) to update through kies to 2.2. It would not power on at all. I sent it to mobiletechvideos.com in Texas and within a week my vibrant was jtagged and now the wife is using it with no issues at all. The service was only $50.00 and well worth the cost and wait as the vibrant is good as new to flash, flash away! Thanks Josh!
[Vibrant General] joroboyvn:
You could've done it by yourself :)
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Riff boxes are like 200 and its still really hard to jtag regardless.
[Vibrant General] infestedd:
let me understand:

you flashed 2.1 by clockwork mod? because my last time i flashed 2.1 through odin, without changing the bootloader first.
[Vibrant General] jstan613:
I flashed through odin to 2.1 then I was using kies to update to 2.2 but I should have flashed 2.2 bootloaders before using kies. I should have fully explained myself...sorry.
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
You should have just never used kies
[Vibrant General] infestedd:
woa... i flashed 2.1 with odin on an older phone that i sold ( it was with cm7). hope the new owner didnt used kies to upgrade o.0 but has been to long and no complain lol
[Vibrant General] trailblazerz11:
Stay away from kies mini.. Hardbricked me too. Jtag repaired fixed all but now Ive learned my lesson.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuji_man:
Anyone have the cifs.ko files for VeganTab 7..

As far as I know it isn't included in the firmware, right?

I try the gingerbread module file from droidbasement post 2221 (following a CM7 CIFS thread), but it said Exec format error.

So anyone could point me to the right direction?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No, not in VEGAn-Ginger 7.

"Exec format error" usually indicates a mismatch between the kernel and the module. Did you also flash the GB kernel from the same post for that module?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuji_man:
No I didn't flash the GB kernel from the same post.. but that kernel is for CM7 not Vegantab.. will that be ok to use?

Don't flashing the kernel wipe the firmware and apps?

Sorry a bit of a noob on this
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yes. The GB kernels are being used on some of the custom Honeycomb ROMs we have here, so it's not just for CM7.

No. Flashing a kernel only replaces the "boot" partition, and depending on the kernel, adds a few files to the "system" partition. Read through this post for some additional info.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noguru:
Sprint Tab with EF17, *UNROOTED*

I have everything in ten folders, each identified by a 3-letter code. My laptop, phone (HTC Incredible, rooted), and G Tab have the same home screen with the same folders.

I'd like to eliminate the folder icons, retaining only the 3-letter codes. Or, make those icons transparent or invisible.

Object is to simplify the home screen while retaining functionality. In fact, if there's an app-writer out there, how about assigning a spaces on the screen to open folders, eliminating icons and identifiers? Or is there such a thing?

Is there a way?

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] 4FukSake:
So the other day at work i got bored. Saw a post another forum where someone decided to chrome polish their Sensation 4G well i took it upon myself to try the same thing. Sanded and polished then added the green color to the lettering. What do you all think?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
I like the green.

what did you use for paint and what kind of brush did you use?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] 4FukSake:
At work(Auto Shop) i used this 3M kit thats for polishing plastic headlamps. Used an 800 grit air sander first then moved to a 1000 grit and then to 3000 grit. Then used some touch up paint from my tool box. Its a Snap-On color (Ratpack green). Im pretty happy with the out come.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmahoney:
Man I would pay for stuff like this. To bad no one ever though of manufacturing custom or different back covers for the G2/Desire Z

EDIT: where did you get the android sticker for the back of the screen portion? I've been looking everywhere for one like it
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
lucky you that you have an autoshop to play around in... I wish I did for all the things I want to customize lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] 4FukSake:
Thanks man, i thought about it. But i think since the phone is a lil old by today standards, probably have a hard time selling them. Plus idk what would be a fair price to ask for something like this. I do have another friend that wants me to do one for hime. Was thinking maybe just $20

Also heres a link to where i got the sticker. http://www.androidstickers.com/
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Tommebaas:
Damn that looks really nice!

The only thing I dislike is the Linux sticker, because andy is green and also the letters.

Now I want to order that sticker to thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Tommebaas:
Can you paint the HTC letters with a normal brush?

I don't have professional stuff.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] 4FukSake:
I just used a regular brush and painted over the letters, let it dry for like an hour in the sun and then used a razor blade to scrap the excess off.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmahoney:
So painting over the letters is pretty simple? also what size is the android sticker as I'm ordering one now but don't know what size i should get
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] 4FukSake:
Ill be honest i dont remember the size it was a long time ago when i purchased it. Looking through the site im not seeing the one i ordered either :/
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pearse:
Looks great man, really like the green letters and android sticker too!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Athrun88:
WOW, that looks amazing. Can I ship you my cover and i'll enclose money for you to do the same thing to mine? If i could get mine in blue or black would be cool though instead of the green lettering. Let me know!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Exanimus:
i had to fix my battery cover after seeing this :P

sanded it with 800 grit paper to remove the old clear coating. then applied oil on new 800grit paper and sanded a few times, painted the HTC letters with black paint and then applied 2 layers of clear coating on the battery cover :)

might be wrong but i didnt think it came with the g2x.

Did he have it overclocked? Hopefully the motherboard didn't fry itself.

If I thought that would have happened I would have waited. I take it you meant i9100 too. I would have loved to have signed a new 2-year contract for the international version. I love the center physical button. Knowing att they probably will remove the FF camera or the rear flash...who knows.

Hey everyone, I have S off. What Happens if I accept the OTA update from Verizon? Will the phone brick or anything or install just fine? I had root at one point but I did something with HTC Sync and I lost root and I'm thinking of just going the OTA route now.

thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
Accepting the OTA is completely pointless when you have quality roms to flash, which in turn will be lightyears better then any OTA you recieve from any carrier, on any brand of phone. Just my 2 cents.

Well I first flashed CM7 and it didn't work properly. it loaded fine but I had No 3g Service. So I just got fed up with this rooting stuff. But I reflashed it and All is good. I'll stay rooted :)
