[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweller2:
Hello,

I was on stock Android 2.1 rooted + xRecovery + JIT + Link2SD.

I tried to install multiple custom roms (GingerDX 007, Floyo 1.0, FroyoBread 0.23) and did a Full Wipe in xRecovery (tried also CWM recovery from the Floyo).

There seems to be something "evil" going on, because multiple apps are still there from my 2.1 after full wipe or a full custom rom recovery. Some of these apps and/or services are crashing. And all of these custom roms are very laggy and slow as opposed to what I have read about them.

I do not understand why I cannot wipe everything out from my old installation.

Can anybody help please?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Sounds like as you have some remains from Elcair on your SD card the new ROM somehow sees. After Full wipe (Factory Reset) and ROM Flash there shouldn't be any left-overs in the system or cache partition as xRecovery is formatting the NAND partitions.

Try backing up your data from the SD card and format it afterwards in Settings.

Gotta go back to to stock cause my samsung is having the search button issues and it has to go back for warranty. Odin 1 click isback to stock for AT&T phone, and the one for Rogers, is confusing me to all hell. [STOCK ROMS] i896 Rogers 2.1 and 2.2 Warranty ROM Remove ATT boot, no dbdata error!! - xda-developers

Can anyone clarify this for me, im a little lost, they said to go back to stock AT&T bootloaders, then to re-flash the Rogers stock rom?

Edit: i got most of it sorted out, but im looking for the 512 PIT file and cant find it. They said it came with ODIN, but i dont see it there in the file, (all it was a .exe file)

This is so well documented in here. Did you do a search or look through the Q&A subforum?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js593:
I did a quick search, but i admit, i didnt have alot of time when this happened this morning. Ive been searching more and more at work. Mainly i just use google though. I managed to find a 512 FILE that was in another captivate thread and emailed myself the link. Going back to stock seems to be quite a task when you havent done it before. Ive read the instructions on the site a few times. Gonna have to look over it again when i get home.

any advice when doing this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js593:
Okay, so im attempting to do it in the next 10 -15 mins, i just want to clariify something.

This is the steps im about to take :

Unzip files to one location

Download "APN backup and restore" from market on Phone & Backup APN settings

Boot phone into download mode. (Powered OFF, hold VOL UP & DN, plug in USB)

Open Odin3 1.xx flashing utility (NOT ODIN3 ONE CLICK RESTORE TO STOCK)

Use the .tar file from the stock ROM .zip in PDA box of ODIN

Use the 512 .pit file that came with odin3 and check re-partition and check auto-reboot. PIT FILE IS A MUST IF YOU HAVE FLASHED ANY CM7 / MIUI Ginger ROM!!!!! If NO GINGER+, pit should be OPTIONAL.

Click start.

Download APN b & R and Restore APN settings

Now, im using S7, which is a 2.3 ROM, do i need to flash the bootloaders too? Thats the most confusing part for me. The rest is cake.

How can I format the SD Card from my old 7 Trophy. Because the damn thing is damaged beyond repair I butchered the thing and want to use the sdcard in my android phone. Can someone explain how I can format the card?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
Use a Symbian device to format the card
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeg420:
You need a partioning program. Don't remember the exact name if the program but you can search the hd2 wp7 forum and look for the thread on dual booting android. The programs in there will work.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tai4de2:
Partitioning won't work. (The way an HD2 running WP7 uses the SD card is different from how a native WP7 uses the SD card, so the experience on an HD2 does not inform the experience on a native WP7 device.)

Using a Symbian phone is still the only known way at this point.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drake008:
Symbian is Nokia? I have a E65 but in this it says the card is damaged or something like that (its in german).

Even diskmgmt.msc shows only an empty line without any partitions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octaedro7:
I'm in the same situation and did a pretty thorough research, so here's what I found:

WP7 uses the hardware encryption functionality of SD cards. That's why the memory is not even recognized by Windows, no matter what app you use for that matters. Nokia' Symbian smartphones also implement this functionality so they are able to format the card (but not read its contents since they are password protected)

Don't get misled by people claiming that they have successfully low-level formatted their cards with Panasonic's Sd format app. Those are likely to be users of HD2 devices so those cards didn't come out of an actual WP7 device.

Bottom line: You need a Symbian Nokia Smartphone to format the card. Search this forum for the precise instruction that you need to follow on the Nokia device to be able to format the card.

Some has reported some other devices being able to format the cards, such as photo cameras, but again it's very likely that those cards did not come out of a real WP7 device.

The dilemma is that an 8 gb micro sdhc card may not worth the effort of finding somebody with a Nokia device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Just a dumb question isn't it the problem that the system the card goes in supports the hardware encryption functionality of SD cards? Wouldnt any older device that didn't support hardware encryption work ? Say a old Moto phone with SD support?

I'm tempted to upgrade mine to 32gb from 16gb just to try this to see if one of the dozen + devices that support SD(with a MicroSD adapter) or MicroSD that I have will do it. Crap, even my Wii has a SD slot.

Maybe this is this wrong disucsion for this but, I am really wondering what is blocking it. If a device does not support hardware encryption, it should just show the drive as a invalid file system and be able to format it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
is this correct, that wp7 can't format and setup a microsd card for itts own use ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
of course it can... oy vey.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drake008:
Well I have a Nokia device but the card wont allow tro format itself either in that phone. So what can I do to use th e8gb card from the WP7 in my android now.

that I wont buy a new one for a fortune of around 12 Euro is completly clear. Isn't there a program for reprogramming the sdcard from sandisk anywhere. You that kind of program which is only available in the factory of sandisk etc. to kill that damn card and recreate it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octaedro7:
Sure, a WP7 can format it's own memory card, there's no issue there.

The problem starts when you want to reuse the card, hence format it again without the encryption layer.

Again, the encryption we are dealing with is done through hardware, meaning that a WP7 phone has a hardware component in charge of the encryption, so do certain symbian Nokia phones (you can search and find which ones, the Nx line on top of my head). Not every nokia phone with a microsd slot will do the trick.

Bottom line you need a device hardware-capable of dealing with this encryption in order to be able to re-format a WP7 card but this time without any encryption.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cotulla:
WP7 lock cards via internal SD2.0 protection feature (CMD42). It's done inside SD card.

So after removing card from WP7 phone, you need find device which can detect that card is locked and which can apply force erase to it.

Unfortunately, most device can't handle this feature.

WP7 on LEO is using unlocked card to allow use Android / other OS together with WP7.

Thanks ! It has help me a lot :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romusters:
Hi, I also got your problem and just got my answer by trial and error.

Format won't help since it won't unlock your sd card and won't delete the internal protection. You need to do the following:

1. start linux (install ubuntu besides windows or something)

2. put card in computer

3. unmount sd card with "umount"

4. format sd card with "mke2fs /location-of-sd-card/"

5. go to windows and format as fat32 or just put it in your phone.

6. thank me :)

Windows or your phone will say it's broken or something and will repair.

The mango security is no more and your sd card is revived.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AXIS of Reality:
Hi guys,

While I've owned an HTC Hero, Galaxy S and now Galaxy S II I've never had any IMEI problems but thought since I flash a lot of roms I should back it up against the chance it could be lost.

I can't find any real guides for what this entails, only guides for attempting to restore lost IMEIs.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as how how exactly to back up an IMEI? :confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yoshi57:
After long time using XDA to get what I needed, here goes my little contribution.

I love Swype keyboard, but no matter which rom I installed, I was never satisfy with the swype (if any)

My claim is more about included languages. I want to have EN-US, EN-UK, FR, PT (and PL if possible)

And I don't like Swype 3, to big IMO.

In last Sotck ROM Swype come with expected languages but azerty keyboard has a bug (line 7890 and special cars)

So i decided to correct this, I extract the Swype from last JVR.

So here we go:

Swype 2.26.68.19015.1027.GTI9000 with corrected AZERTY Keyboard.

Included languages are:

UK English
US English
Nederlands
Français
Deutch
Italiano
Korean?
Polski
Português Europeu
Español
Türkçe

Looks like due to the paid/beta stuff I can’t share directly the fixed APK

So you’ll find attached only the modified files.

A quick Howto modify swype yourself

1. Get Apkmanager. Get the Swype apk from your phone or JVR ROM and put it in APK Manager\place-apk-here-for-modding.

3. In Apkmanager, open the batch file called 'Script'.

4. Enter 22, select Swype, select 9 to decompile.

5. Copy the contents from zip file under APK Manager\projects\Swype.apk\assets\keyboards.

6. In 'Script', enter 11, Enter, system apk Y, copy file: hit n, Enter, hit 12, enter.

7. The new apk will be located in APK Manager\place-apk-here-for-modding.

8. rename it to Swype.apk and copy it over /system/app/ on your phone with any File Manager.

PS: Can anyone confirm if I can share the swype.apk ? or Can I upload to an external hoster? I’ve already done a cw zip update file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
you can only share Swype in the form of a ROM, not as an APK

and only for phones that originally was shipped with Swype

YES, i have watched the n00bs video and my mum wasn't very happy about the call.

I've posted this question in stackoverflow too.

ANYWAY, I'm using the Eclipse IDE.

I can only see question marks in the Android Device Chooser; where I'd usually find numbers. it's like I didn't add udev rules for the device

It's a Sensation 4g from T-Mobile to be exact. I tried with an HTC Inspire and it worked fine, logcat also worked fine but not with this newer Handset.

The sensation works fine on windows but i prefer developing on linux; Ubuntu 11.04 to be more specific

And also, I can use the sensation as a disk drive on Ubuntu but the problem remains. I usually connect the handset in "Charge Only" mode; this seems to allow debugging just fine on the HTC Inspire.

this is my terminal output from $lsusb

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

and Here's the contents of my "rules" file: $sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

I don't understand why it works fine with the older HTC handset but not with this one.

AND YES, I REMEMBERED TO TURN DEBUGGING ON THE PHONE; it works in windows remember?

sadly, I wasn't allowed to post his in the developers forum because i'm a n00b and I don't deserve it.

I want to debug my HTC Sensation in Ubuntu!

You can do this by invoking this command:

Hello people I have a question:

My phone has only like 40 apps installed, with go launcher ex and some widgets, but every time I turn it on when I get to the menu its like slow, when I try to move between apps again the same slowness, and then after some time the slowness dissappear and goes normal. What can it be?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XxLordxX:
That happens because you are running too many processes at the same time, try killing some via Adv. Task Killer, then tell me if it works. And the slow boot is because there are too many apps (you said ONLY 40 O.o) when I had 50 it was Very Very Very slow, then I uninstalled some of them and its very quick now. Or the slow boot is because of your rom, try MiniCM7 Pro by paul-xxx, its very good, fast and stable.

Hope it helps you ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] luguxd:
Thanks for anwering, are 40 apps too much? I thought the phone would slow at 150 apps or sth lol.

I have the custom firmware 2.1 sony, and I dont know much about roms like MiniCM7, Saw them in a lot of topics but never understood, are they firmwares? The apps I have installed in my phone with SE firmware will work in that rom? Does multitouch works there?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MoneyFist:
There is actually nothing wrong with 150 apps. It's just the apps that self launch as services in the background that cause the memory issues.

I don't think it would be as easy as porting over the OS and then being free to download games onto an unsupported tablet - sure its HC but I'm fairly confident Sony will have something in place to check the hardware.

If that's the case then it would be pointless to port it over if you can't actually get legit games for it. It would then mean the only purpose it would serve would be to play pirated games (whether you own a legitimate Sony game or not).

Will it happen? Maybe... if Sony doesn't put major hardware checks in place. Would it be worth it? Only to pirates.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
Even if Sony puts hardware checks in place, I'm sure it'll be bypassed quickly, I mean its Sony. Lol. Anyhow, if you actually own the discs, their plasystation emu was recently hacked to play ISO images of PS games, so you can just copy your CD to your computer. No piracy involved. :-)

Dude, what-are-you-talking-about? Nobody gives a rats ass about old PS1 emulator that was finally release somewhere nears the end of its lifecycle. The PS1 was built and released at a time when this kind of things was nowhere nears as prevalent.

ugh.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
...and your point is?

Obviously people give a rats ass about Sony's PS emulator, otherwise they wouldnt care about putting it on their new phones and making a PlayStation branded phone. The OP obviously cares and I care too! Sure Android games might look a little better than PS games, but there's nowhere near as much depth to any game on the android market. I wanna play me some final fantasy 7!

Sony is retarded, and the devs and hackers here are genius. If you can't see that after what's happened this year alone, then you've been blinded by your Sony fanaticism. The devs will rip apart any "state of the art" tablet from Sony and make it their ***** within a week of getting it. :-P
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Pirates are not people.

Even if it could be ported (which I'm sure it won't be) If you couldn't play legit games on the port, whats the point in overwriting your tablets supported ROM with a ROM that has no legit use?

[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Just a quick note,

I ported the S tablet rom to iconia a500 yesterday, and everything initially looked fine, it was really simple. BUT!

the part which is used for Sony Store and PS compatibility of PS1 games, was protected with a bootloader check, when this fails everything else gets disabled somehow.

so i doubt we will see this port, unless someone start cracking the S rom, which is kinda very much illegal since you start modifying alot and sony's binaries needs changing?

anyways, i tried and i happily failed :) i do not want to crack it.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
