[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
And the same held true when trying to flash a Froyo bootloader (just to see if it would work). It doesn't look like it has anything to do with the GB bootloaders themselves, it's the phone that's not allowing us to flash any bootloaders. I agree, it looks like there might be some kind of lock on them, so we may have to figure that out first, but when AT&T releases GB, we'll be able to see how they do it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:
I've heard the Infuse bootloader could be locked. Those files flashed just fine. I do belive they are infact legit bootloaders. I'm not sure they are Infuse ones but they are most likely are. I'm trying to work with an XDA member to send me his phone and allow me to repair it free of charge. JTAG won't care whether the bootloader is locked when flashing that zone as it has full control. I greatly appreciate your links by the way, they could be the files I will use if/when I crack the Infuse with JTAG repair...

I pressed THANKS and so should anyone who downloads those files... ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aou:
Well, if I'm not mistaken, I'm currently the only person on XDA that has hard-bricked their Infuse (unless I missed something over the weekend, but this all happened Friday night). gtg465x & I have tried many ways to flash the bootloader (odin, heimdall, 3e, and CWM), and we did find a "successful" way to flash the GB bootloader to bml1 and bml4. We ended up using bmlwriter, but it seems the bootloader is automatically being overwritten on startup somehow. As a last-ditch effort, we used bmlwriter to flash the bml.bin to bml5, which was believed to contain a backup of bml4. This inevitably hard-bricked the phone. By hard bricked, we're talkin' no boot, no recovery, no download-mode. I event soldered together a JIG to see if it would at least power up the phone and attempt download-mode. Nada. I'm not personally interested in JTAG so much, because I don't believe a user should need to crack open their case and void warranties. My replacement should be arriving tomorrow.

On the JTAG thing, I sincerely hope you are able to successfully JTAG a device. If I understand correctly, this means you'd be able to flash these bootloaders without fear of a permanent brick. The result would the ability to experiment with bootloaders until you find something that is flawless and has gives "the average user" something they can "safely" flash to their phone. Best of luck to you!

In another thread, gtg is looking for a Rogers person to dump their bml5 for us, which will likely hold the key to being able to successfully and permanently flashing the bootloader on this device.

On a "completely unrelated note," NONE of AT&T's warranty repair centers currently have this phone in stock, so all warranty exchanges must be done over-the-phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:
Do you have any interest in participating in a BETA trial in which I could potentially fix the issue for you and bring the phone back to life?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aou:
Only If I could attempt these things from remote without crackin' it open. I'll be getting my new phone tomorrow (got the tracking number, woot!), but I could hold onto the old phone for a couple days without being charged for it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
This would be a wonderful find!

Would have been more wonderful if all this was solved a month or so ago, (Had a black out while changing things.) blew the sales rep away while they got me a new one when he wasnt able to get the phone to do ANYthing but look shiny.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:
Low and behold my wife brought her friend my the office and she had a fully working infuse with her. I begged her to let me take it apart and have a few hours with it. She said sure whatever I spilled wine on it a month ago and it's out of warranty. Within the hour I found, mapped out the JTAG pinout and am now connected to it and aquiring a full backup! If all goes well, I'll have full Samsung Infuse JTAG support and access to the full nand by days end!

Very exciting and a worlds first!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
You guys hear that? Good job bro
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:
Here is a teaser while I'm still connected...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:
Thanks man it was a very coincidental thing she walked in my office with an infuse AND let me have my way with it lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
Sweeeeet
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Sweet. Now if only there were a way to figure out a compression spring contact for this...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
i'm not sure i fully understand what this means. will this allow infuse developers to solve the problems they've been having with GB bootloaders?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aou:
Very nice! Please keep us updated!

Some are sensitive about their IMEI# and S/N being out on the web, so you might consider blurring those from the pic. It sounds like she doesn't care either way, however.

In other news, I have my replacement Infuse in-hand, and I'm restoring backups. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Corvette Dave:
+10
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:
This means that I can repair a bricked Infuse even if the bootloaders are trash and the phone won't power on at all. And you are right, she doesn't care about the IMEI numbers especially since the IMEI zone is not cloneable on the Infuse anyhow. It's just like any other serial number really. There is no reason to really worry about someone seeing it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It means there is somewhat less risk with bootloader experiments.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
cool beans. i'm still learning about android. this stuff is way more techy than crapple
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aou:
To those following along, and not understanding how important this is:

Flashing bootloaders to a device is typically very risky, with high chances of hard-bricking your device. The work connexion2005 is doing will allow him to flash bootloaders and yet still be able to un-brick the device. This means he can try different bootloaders over and over again until all the kinks are worked out. Once we have a fool-proof way to flash bootloaders, the dev's will be able to release something to the rest of XDA.

Why are the bootloaders so important, and why do we need to flash them? Currently, we're using a Froyo bootloader on our Infuse that is not fully compatible with Gingerbread. This is causing numerous issues, the most obvious being the "rainbows" in the Infused rom created by gtg. At this time, it appears that the only proper way to resolve that issue (among others) is by flashing a GB bootloader.

So in short, what connexion2005 is doing here is producing an ideal testing ground for the advancement of GB roms on the Infuse. (Thank you, connexion2005 for your work!!)

First, make sure you have background data on in settings/accounts & sync

You can try Apn Manager to set your apn settings

if those don't

Find a fix here, it worked for me not sure if it's the best way

My apn settings seems to work with only the data files of the first special stock (i don t do all the apn stuff)

But i have a lot of others issues

The first time i try it with out the data from the first special stock i had my google account and i had the phone process problem again....:mad:

I restore the data from nandroid and then the french language disapear......:mad::mad:

ANd the biggest problem is that i can t connect my google account it always tell me that i don t have a network connection but all the other apps go to the net with out a problem...:mad::mad::mad:

And i have this problem only with the data from the first stock....

I maybe do something wrong... I install the nandroid image on the singapore sbf and my card is already part like it must be (fat 32 ext3 and swap).

I m right???? Maybe someone could make a new topic explaining all the step because it become more and more difficult to follow all the problems....

I don t try the boot.img or the others a2sd gui things...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Are you on wifi? Can you send pics via text or email? If you get that text document and find your apn settings from that list and add it to the text document then replace it /etc/apns-conf.xml you will get your data and 3g network back. I thought I had my network to cause I was able to text and make calls and stuff, but didn't. it only worked for calls and texts, not data. Also make sure you have background data turned on in settings
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I was on wifi and the 3g/data work for me also (i only test the regular android navigator for both) and only by restoring the data of the first special stock but i try all i can to make the google account work for nothing...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
You say you still can't log in to google? or the market? I know the apn needs set correctly. And make sure background data is turned on it turns itself off sometimes. I have my google and market
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Thanks for the help but i give up with wanhu...

I always have problem with this one... First with the phone process FC and now the market... I spend more time trying to install this wanhu roms than with all the others (miui....) but it always have issues and big ones.....

I try the cyanogen one and it work a lot better (for me)

I m on it since only one hour now but i think it will be my winner.....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
hmm i'm doing sth wrong..i did all those steps, but was a bit confused when editing the apns-configs file, i deleted too much text: that's what it's exactly looking like

--- can I just take old apns-config.xml file from other ROM where data network is working ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I would expect that to work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Replacing apns-conf.xml file WORKED!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
here for everyone who isn't able to fix 3g - just download this file :

http://www.share-online.biz/dl/8DB1TBPLWR

this is the old apns-conf.xml file from xda special alfa_h ROM.. you need to delete old apns-conf.xml file in /etc/ directory (you get there by using root explorer & co) and copy this download-file there.. just reboot -> 3g / internet data should work now. if it doesn't , you can try wiping cache / data , for me it only worked after factory reset then..

and here are also those two data-files from x_special_alfa_h ROM, I don't know in what way they might be needed for 3g fix here, but just try copying them into sdcard/nandroid/OpenRecovery/XT720_XDA_Special_STB2 and then get into OR->nandroid->restore ALL

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsunder3:
Hello everyone, I own a Samsung omnia 7 and I have a problem with apn.

my carrier (vodafone IT) has two different apns, one that I must use with my data plan and the other that gets me to pay if I connect to it. The phone, currently on mango beta but the problem has always been there, ignores the apn setting i put in manually and uses the wrong one, set probably by the "network profile " app by Samsung. even if i uninstall the app it still connects using the wrong one, and i already tried restoring the phone to factory settings.

is there a way to force the apn used (obviously there is as the phone IS forced on one apn) and how can I do it? registry modifications,XML files... anything

thank you
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
I would like to find out too. Currently WP7 really lacks in this department. It screws up the settings and drains the battery even faster because it tries to connect with the wrong config.

After fiddling with it the Samsung App, own APN settings etc I manage to go online on Vodafone but my phone struggles to send MMS.

Samsung Tool isn't of much help since it thinks that my SIM card is something that it is not.

I hope this APN issue is addressed in Mango. But I guess such "bugs" are not important to MS.

hey guys im looking for the stocks app made by htc that runs with the stocks widget for gingerbread. apparently i cant grab the apk from another rom because its going to be based on froyo or something (which ive tried anyways and i just get a force close). so does anyone know where/how to get the app? cheers
[Legend General] lycan-rising:
I'm not sure it's possible: from what I've heard, widgets specifically from sense roms are for sense only. Though there's a good chance someone can correct me on this.

Assuming I'm right, sorry: can't help except advise to browse the market thoroughly.
[Motorola Droid X2] fbm111:
Okay so I found that I couldn't get the "droid" sound to stop on startup even when the phone is on silent. This annoyed me so I got to playing around with it and figured out how to keep it from doing so.

Made one small change in the bootanimation.zip file. I am a noob and this is a very minor, minor modification. But figured it may help someone else out.

here is the modified bootanimation.zip file....

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31976911/bootanimation.zip

md5: 5bc43a30cbfb90b39befae3fd0aedd06

Installation (would be cool if I knew how to make update.zip)

1. Download file to phone.

2. Use root explorer and navigate to /system/media

3. Mount system as r/w

4. rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak (so that you can get sound back if you want to later)

5. navigate to downloaded bootanimation.zip and copy or cut

6. navigate back to /system/media and paste bootanimation.zip

7. mount system at r/o

All done, now no more sounds at boot when phone is silenced.

Hope this helps anyone.

USE AT OWN RISK always wanted to say that.
[Motorola Droid X2] onemotodroid:
Removing the sound was on my TO-DO List

this just made it easy for me - THANKs
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
This rocks! I like the stock Android animation over the red eye too :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Hoppy96pgtbs:
So if I read correctly the start-up sound will be muted or lower volume depending on what your phone volume is set to? That is pretty sweet. I like my bootanimation as it is, what modifications did you do for this to work? I'd like to do this, but keep my setup. Thanks! Solid idea.
[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I tried it, but all I got was a black screen during the boot process - no animation at all. I'm running the 2.3.3 Eclipse ROM. That may be the reason. My bootanimation file does not play the DROOOOOOID sound, but it has the CW7 Bionic Eye, which is way more ugly than the stock Droid eye. I would have liked the stock 2.3.3 google animation.

I may play with the zip files to see if I can swap out the animation. .... or what I'd REALLY like to have a copy of the VZW animation that Samsung uses if anyone has a copy of the file

[Nexus S General] dblkspecial:
My phone was going through bootloops and I went to recovery and clockwork definitely WASN'T there. So I improvised and used the 1 click stock method to restore my phone. Any idea why clockwork wasn't there and how to change it to where it is in case it happens again?
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Did you flash it yet???

I recently answered a question similar to this, so see if it works:

1. Reboot into your bootloader

2. Download a clockwork img and save it to a directory on ur computer

3. CD into that directory on the terminal and do the following command:

fastboot flash recovery _____.img

(Blank line is name of img)

And reboot into recovery from bootloader

See if that works
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Btw wrong section ;D
[Nexus S General] mikerowes69:
You flashed recovery, then installed su. You needed to rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.bak in /system/etc/
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
Hmmm

Only way I can boot into recovery is to do a battery pull.

If I just power down it just reboots.

Anyone else? Fix?
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Is your fastboot on?

Settings> power> fastboot

If so then turn it off.
[HTC EVO 3D] JAWSxs:
yep this saved me yesterday. I couldn't figure out wth was going on, but disabling fastboot worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
I downloaded Quick Boot from the market. The process of pulling the battery and accessing the recovery console through fastboot is too tedious.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
If you like the fastboot option then you can enter recovery by selecting restart phone and then when the screen blacks out hold the volume down button until it reboots into recovery. If you press it to early it will lower your volume to vibrate but after reboot you can just increase your volume again.
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
Nope fast boot unchecked....
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Pull battery or go to "Restart" in the power menu. Keep the Volume-Down button held down. Then hit Recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
Yeah. Battery pull works ....hut that's a pain to do every time....
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Hit restart, hold down volume button while it restarts.
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
Cool....will try

Mahalo!
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Why would you manually do anything....

QUICKBOOT!!!:)

It's free and works every time.

ETA: Even if you keep Fastboot checked, Quickboot app will put you into bootloader or recovery properly. Donate version adds Hotboot to the menu of options as well as (I can't remember as I have had the app for years) Power Off.
[HTC EVO 3D] RomanHelmet:
Hello all. I've been trying for a while to create a custom boot animation for my Evo 3d. No matter what I try I cannot get the ones I create to work. Here's what I've done so far.

I downloaded some premade ones that work just fine. I've tried replacing my images which didn't work. I've tried mimicking the desc.txt files in different ways. Tried out different combinations of folder names and splitting the animation into different parts in these folders. I've tried png files, I've tried jpegs. I have also tried several different framerates (15,18,30) to no avail.

I know I am putting the file in the correct place (/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip using adb push)

I did get it to work one time however. I replaced the images in the stock boot animation (in the android folder) and my animation played and then the second half of the stock animation played afterwards. However I don't want to see the Sprint stuff.

Please help, I'm going nuts here trying to figure this out :mad:

Figured it out last night forgot to update here. I found a tutorial in the general theming forum. Turns out you have to leave a blank line at the end of the desc.txt file. None of the tutorials I found on google mentioned this. After I made this change this my animation worked perfectly.

Thanks for the tips everyone.
