[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dualkiller:
Hi unfortunately I'm on a mac and have been unable to use odin for obvious reasons. I came across a program called Heimdall, which you all know of. Well the program recently has been updated to 1.3.0 and in turn has introduced Heimdall Firmware Package format. See here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/2011/devblogs/heimdall-suite-1-3-0-and-anti-squish-graphical-update/

My issue is whenever I go to load a package file, I've tried to use odin roms, it look like its about to work and then after it loads up you get a error saying "Firmware.xml Is Missing From The Package" obviously this package was not made to be used with Heimdall 1.3.0.

So can somebody here create a proper firmware.xml file and place it inside the rom package? I would but it's a bit too complicated for me to understand. Maybe a developer with the right knowledge be able to do this.

Thank you so much people

Not having a windows computer at my disposal really keeps me behind on all these updates lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Run vmware and try odin
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
If you can find a good, working heimdall package I can take a look at the firmware.xml file and figure out how it works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Benjamin Dobell:
The Heimdall Firmware Package format (and subsequently firmware.xml) is detailed in Heimdall's README. Refer to the Appendices.

The README contains instructions that explain how to build a Heimdall Firmware Package. You just need to fill out the "Flash" tab as if you were performing a custom flash (see the README). Then instead of pressing the "Start" button go to the "Create Package" tab and fill out the details there.

If you're not sure how the partitions and file names match you can go to the Utilities tab and run the "Print Pit" action. This will output the PIT information in a human readable format so that you can match partition names to their "default" filename. I say "default", because unlike Odin, Heimdall places no restriction on what filenames can be used.

Help

Hi, guys. I'm a simple guy. I just want to update my phone.

As you can imagine, I want to click on something and hit next a few times and wait patiently while a progress bar tires to lower my anxiety level.

So far I have installed Odin on my windows virtual machine with no luck and now this Heimdall program so kindly made by the open source comunity.

I have not the brains, time, aptitude or inclination to read a README file nor the IQ to create an XML file, however well explained the tutorial might be.

Any chance anybody can help me hit "next" a few times and get my phone to upgrade without having to learn, understand or figureout anything?

I have a Galaxy Note (the old one)

Much obliged.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Oh jeeze...

Let me save you some pain. I won't comment on the "I don't have the time..." statement and, with luck, nobody else here will either.

You should post in the Galaxy Note forums -- they are probably in much better position to save you from your rush.

Before you do leave, you might want to read the "Before you flash anything..." sticky.

I don't know about flashing it, just rename it Sprint_bootanimation.zip and copy it over to /system/customize/resource using root explorer. All your old boot animations should work. I also edit desc.txt to say 540 960 for resolution.

[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
hey all i have two droid-x that have had default froyo 2.2.340 and also the newest OTA 4.5.596 and also CM7 which is what they both have.

i have had them setup exactly the same way when i run these tests.

on my (lets call it "the good droid-x") it has great wifi and cell phone radio reception

on my (lets call it "the bad droid-x") it has crappy wifi and cell phone radio reception

you can tell something is not right when they are sitting side by side with the identical software (as mentioned above)

i am guessing its a bad antenna connection and that the wifi and cellphone radios use the same antenna.

i did not check with BT but for sure 100% the wifi and cellphone radios are about 1/2 of what im getting with the good droid-x

could someone please pull up a picture and circle what they think the antenna might be so i can try and see if i have a break?

it could be also that maybe the chips are not getting enough power or something but the phones function the same it seems so i dont know.

if someone could shed some light it would be great

i switched batts and battery covers and that didnt do anything either.

thanks
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
just wanted to give an update

there was some connections crossing in the phone that should not have been

i cant believe phone did not blow up on me

the led connectors were all touching

dont ask me how the phone kept functioning but i seperated those 3 big led connectors and now everything is working good
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Very glad to hear you found the problem. Where did you get this bad unit? Is it possible someone had already opened it up?
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
most definately

this was what it was when i got it

http://iowacity.craigslist.org/mob/2443460199.html

i checked it out at a walmart parking lot...everything worked but i didnt really notice that the signal strength on the gps, wifi and cell radio were really CRAPPY to put it mildly.

so i replaced the screen (was hoping that might have been part of the problem)

powered it all up and everything was functioning the same as it was (crappy)

so i thought it must be the antenna must have came loose or something

couldnt find any info on antenna...many of you know i been asking in here and phonearena and in irc but no one seems to know the exact location

so i decided to switch the motherboard out with my good droid-x and guess what it did the same thing.

so that told me it was on the motherboard for sure

so i got my magnifying glass out and found some bad areas right away

seperated the crossed connectors and put it back together and BAM

has a better signal then my good one

im a happy camper now

i have 2 droid-x`s :)

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

i circled the area in RED those led connectors were pushed into each other and the little standoff was smashed down.

if it would have been like the old camera FLASH`s where they charged up...i would have hated to see what would have happened to me when i took a picture

BOOM!!

Hi,

I have followed all of these steps theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/[/url] up to VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image. After I shutdown the phone I hold the volume up and press the power to go into fastboot however when I press recovery, the clockworkmod does not save and just boots the stock recovery. Once I type in adb shell

cd etc

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh I get mount: Operation not permitted.

I hope someone can help me. Thanks to whoever is reading this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the correct way to flash the recovery would be through fastboot. "flashing" it with rom manager doesnt cut it. do a search, theres lots of info here. good luck :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I think he already flashed CWM with fastboot, and is now trying to rename install-recovery.sh

Just follow these steps:

1) Boot up your phone.

2) Use Root Explorer to browse to /system/etc

3) Press the "Mount R/W" button

4) Long press on install-recovery.sh

5) Rename it to "install-recovery.sh.bak"

6) Go back into bootloader

7) Use fastboot to flash ClockworkMod Recovery again like you did the first time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
mount requires root permissions. Are you su?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Does adb have inherent su privs? Or is the problem that he did not request su privs?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
adb does not have any inherent root privileges. You either need an insecure boot image for adb remount or you need to request su privileges and remount /system manually (or through an app like Root Explorer).

hey guys! so i'm stuck in android system recovery and i can't really do anything.

i tried applying the update.zip but it said "signature verification failed".

problems im having.

-im NOT rooted

-everytime i reboot the phone it always goes back to system recovery

-i cant flash an update

-my computer wont even recognize the phone

-i cant go into download mode

please help. ive searched everywhere and there doesnt seem to be a clean answer.

anything helps. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
You are getting that because you didn't properly push the recovery file to system/bin....BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ROOTED. try to wipe cache and factory reset the phone from recovery to get back your android stock. Try to get into download mode using one if the methods in the download guide in the bible. Odin to kc1 with the final cwm from krylon that fbis posted. You will have root.

Please read the bible, especially the opening threads. Also, do not apply update.zip.

Can an Android coder please make a stock European Froyo kernel overclockable?

[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
My understanding is most people prefer Voltage Control, but SetCPU allows for specific under/overclocking profiles that can increase performance without killing battery life.

If someone could direct me to popular, trusted settings, I'd appreciate it. I'm not a heavy user or power user, so I'm looking for something that just works well. I don't care about benchmarks and things of that nature.

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I was unable to find posts that didn't concern user-specific issues.

Thanks,

Wyatt

EDIT: 53 views and no replies. I guess I'll experiment for myself. Wish me luck!
[Verizon Droid Charge] JOrtenzi:
That's really all it comes down too...experimenting and finding out what works best on YOUR phone with YOUR configuration...

GOOD LUCK!

ps... have been very stable with OC'd to 1.4

-25 down too 200

-100 on 100

bfq and conservative
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I use VControl myself...i like the UI.

For Performance: 100-1.4GHZ (1.5 works too, but is WAY overvolted, and 1.6 is extremely unstable), -100mV from 100-1000 MHZ, -75 for 1.1-1.4GHZ.

For "Battery Life": (i really don't see a difference...) 100-800 MHZ (anything below 800 is painfully slow), -100mV across the board.

I leave schedulers and governors at their stock settings, the only time I change anything is to set the gov. to Performance on Performance for max Quadrant scores.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
How many Mhz levels are you selecting? In my experience anything above 5 and it WILL NOT clock up to the higher settings. Maybe thats why you notice no difference in battery life?

For instance if you had say 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000 and 1400 you will reace 1000mhz only

if you had 100, 200, 400, 800, 1400 you would reach the 1400mhz. ive tried many combos and 5 or less was the max it would use (voltage control app, im sure setcpu would most likely be the same)
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
How many slots does the imnuts kernel support?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
I started using SetCPU, and I think I prefer it.

Quick question, it seems like rebooting is unnecessary for the changes to take effect, is that true?

Overclocking definitely worked. I got 1853 @ 1200mhz in Quadrant, up from 1600.

Edit: now 2025 @ 1300mhz / 1300mhv

2nd Edit: Late last night, I was using a stability test in one of the apps, but I can't for the life of me remember which app or how I found it. Now I'm using StabilityTest from the market. What's a safe cpu temp for these phones? I'm getting 32 degrees under full load in an air conditioned environment.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
I just switched over to Setcpu as well. It seems to work better for me also. I can now select 6 levels instead of the 5 before in voltage control and I also noticed that the set on boot on voltage control did NOT work but it DOES work in setcpu!! Im happy!
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterGunz:
Haven't tried Setcpu yet, but I preferred Pimp my CPU over VC when I was using Miui on the Fascinate.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
I have a solution!

Edit: I noticed you started at least three separate threads with different bits of information... Not very good forum etiquette.

I haven't spent time to research this, does your MTS SIM card allow 2G roaming on Rogers? Or only 3G?

I can reproduce the problem, I am running CM7 on a 9020A, with the XXKB3 radio, on the Bell/Telus joint HSPA network, which does not have a 2G GSM network.

On the 9020A: toggling 3G back on, then reflashing an appropriate UCKB2 or UCKD1 radio should fix this. (Either through fastboot or with CWM and the appropriate zip radio files.) You can then reflash the 9020T uncapped XXKB1, XXKB3 or XXKD1 radios afterwards if you wish.

Hope the above helped,

Darkshado
