[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkenFable:
Glad that it finally worked! Venturing into flashing ROM's can be scary at first, especially if you don't know what you're doing or can't find any help. After the first dive in the pool you'll never want to quit. If you like VU you can stick with that, or you can look around the dev subforums for different rom's to try. If you like the look of Sense which is what VU is based off of then I would recommend trying EvilD's Virtuous Doubleshot rom. It's not full Sense 3.0 like VU is, it's MySense, but I find that I get way better battery life on VD than I do on VU as long as I keep the WiFi off when I'm not using it. CyanogenMod 7 is another great mod to try, its AOSP(Android Open Source Project) so it looks completely different than VU or VD, but a lot of people don't like Sense or MySense and prefer AOSP roms.

Anyways, enjoy your phone, and your newly unlocked SIM and enjoy playing around with different Rom's if you decide to. You can always make those backups before you flash something and go right back to the way things were if you don't like it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtwhtever:
I like Sense and have found VU good so far, I might give VD a try sometime. Thanks again.

What's the directory/name of the splash image (not boot animation, b4 that)? Is it possible to just use es file explorer and replace that file to change splashes?
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
it isnt in a directory. and no you cant change it with file explorer. to change it you must use fastboot
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
Does that mean renaming it to PC86IMG or whatever and flashing via hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Yes. That is the only way to do it. And it will stay that image no matter what rom/kernel you flash until you change it thru bootloader again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
Cool got it thx guys
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
to more directly answer this question, the splash image is located in a special portion of internal memory. it is not directly accessible from normal android mode or from recovery mode, at least as far as anybody as found.

the only known method of access to this restricted portion of dedicated internal memory which holds the splash image is thru fastboot mode and the fastboot binary.

on other older devices, like the samsung moment, the splash image was/is stored on internal memory in a dedicated partition, but it was write accessible from android mode and recovery mode. this made it much easier to modify and change which facilitated the ability for an android app, Flash Image GUI, I created to help thru this process.

unfortunately there haven't been anyways found yet to access the splash image on the evo 3d other than thru fastboot. i do think it would be great if there was a way found one day!

hope that helps add some clarity!
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
is it pC86img or pG86img? Every thread i review seems to have something different.

Also, I can confirm paste new hTC_bootanimation.zip over the original doesnt work. I did a NAND and tried it when i made my boot animation (death of megatron/birth of galvatron FTW) and now it displays the HTC logo but just the initial still frame.

Why are so many things you flash or load through bootloader named PG/PC86IMG lol. I've always been hesitant on account of that. Does bootloader look inside the zip and place it in the appropriate slot based on name or something?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
PG86IMG.zip

Short answer: Yes. The bootloader looks for specific file names inside of the .zip file to know which partition to flash them too.

Longer answer: HTC designed the bootloader/fastboot/radio to have the most write access to the internal partitions. Recovery and normal android mode also have write access (unlocked bootloader, custom recovery needed, etc) but the bootloader/radio/fastboot have the most access.

Since the bootloader/radio/fastboot have the most access to the internal partitions, it is sometimes regarded as the best way to flash certain partitions of the phone and hence why there are so many different .zip files available!

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
@JoeyKrim:

Thanks. I was familiar with PG86IMG and its options and assumed PC was just a typo. I only seen PC on splash screen how to posts and assumed it was wrong...or i misunderstood since everything flashed through hboot seems to be named PG86IMG (i think even the 4G was that way..been a while). I'm trying to learn more with this phone so I've been reading up a lot. Many smart people on this forum so it only makes sense. I like to know as much as I can about what is really going on behind the scenes before I take any action...just seems logical. Trying to graduate from a mere flash-a-holic =-)

So the take away here is that anything flashed via fastboot/hboot is PG86IMG.zip and hboot/fastboot is smart enough to look at the folder structure within the zip and fine the appropriate partition to write to without user intervention. Good to know. I've done many things with my phone but I usually tried to leave hboot/fastboot alone due to my lack of understanding.

Sidenote: I love your projects. Thanks for all the hard work
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I think the EVO bootloader used files named PC36IMG.zip. It is up to HTC. They can program the bootloader to use files named whatever they want.

the way to determine the file name the bootloader is searching for: when first booting into the bootloader it will print out on the screen (sometimes quickly) the file names it is searching for. these names will be the correct names as they are hard coded into the bootloader and very rarely change.

appreciate the support and hope the above helps provide more detail! good luck on your progression and feel free to ask questions as they come!
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
@Joey: Thanks again for the insight man!

@OP: Sorry for taking the thread into a little tangent. Hopfully it helped provide more detail for some of those looking deeper into the process.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
will the PG86IMG.zip deal to replace Splash Image Work on an HBOOT 1.5 Evo 3D S-ON. figured better ask to avoid a brick. Thanks for your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
no, splash can't be overwritten on hboot 1.5 sadly, and you wouldn't brick if you flashed, it just wouldn't apply the image.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
Maybe soff will come soon now that GSM e3d got hboot downgrade and soff then problem solved splash for all =-)
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
^by the way...

all of this, one of the reasons why i am not a flashoholic when it comes to the splash screen. if something goes wrong, you get a bad download, etc., you can brick the device. i don't justify the risk for an image that simply appears for merely 3 or 4 seconds at boot up.

I have a Sprint EVO 4G running Metro PCS and I noticed the internet is really slow but I have ssen youtube vids where people say there metro internet is faster than the 3g they had with sprint. So I decided to try different kernels and tests I run cyanogen nightlies and have tried cm,tiamat,godmode and currently savage zen I notice that the download runs average of 50-60 kbs and uploads run 150-200 kbs what I'm wondering is is there simply someway to reverse this so that my internet is faster. I know that there is sokethingbwrong with things I know I have basicaly 2g and that it is typicaly slow but I know this can do better and that the download upload tests are screwes up and incorrect in nature.

Welcome to sprint's crappy network. I haven't gotten above 50kbps since last November.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
It is said that Metro has 3g now. Update prl to 3020 & use qpst to change mip from simple to both, this should increase speeds.

I cannot confirm as my usb does not allow me to connect to pc; charging only.

If you do get better speeds please share.

Swiped from my rooted Evo running Metrodroid 2.2 on Metro PCS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb_13:
I did exactly as you suggested and changed the mip and I am currently running the 3020.prl and I still have the 1x and speess apeae to be the same. Thank you though please keep us informed if you find otherwise. I do want to say I have heard you can flash to boost mobile and have true 3g speeds but I can't find a guide to flash. I'm sure you just use use qtsp and a current boost prl for the settings. But not positive how tondo it I can only find people who charge yoi to send your evo to them to do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
Alright, so I've already read the threads about Wifi Sharing dominating the SGS2's battery and it seems like updating the firmware of the phone somehow fixes this.

So heres my problem: I'm on OSX and I can't use Samsung Kies. I can actually use Kies AIR but I can't seem to figure out how to update the firmware.

Apparently my firmware is "KG2" so I'm wondering how I could update my firmware without access to a windows machine. In case I'm already on the latest firmware (which seems logical since I just bought the phone like a week ago), is there any way to stop Wifi Sharing from starting every time I enable Wifi?

I would really appreciate a solution that didn't involve Rooting.

Thank's a bunch guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunteres:
i am afraid without root you wont be able to acces or disable any system file mate.

the only way is rooting (or wait ages for update - oficialone) - if you arent sure what to do ask and u will get help. there are more apps that may produce high battery drain from stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
So is my version the latest? Also, Why would this be fixed in a previous version but then back again in a latest?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunteres:
i am running KH3 that is the latest firmware i know. :) KG2 can be the latest released by your network provider. so if u wanna keep the phone with the latest u can upgrade with ODIN or once u will flash CWM - clockworkmode u can do so with it. but u will need to root the phone ofc.

but KG2 is not the latest for unlocked simfree phone.

wifi sharing is a high battery drainer - and i have removed that form my phone also togheter with the samsung HUBS and a bit more. and i am getting more then double out of my phone compared to stock i was running before mate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
I see. Thanks for the replies!

New owner of Samsung Galaxy S2 here, coming from an Atrix and loving the phone.

One thing though that was nice in Atrix is the email client was much better especially in terms of looks especially the latest version with the Atrix GB update.

Also the email notification for coporate email would contain the email subject/text in the notification bar.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolidHelix:
I just bought a "Like New Mint" condition atrix off ebay. The seller is a power seller with a 99.6% rating.

I opened the box and had it unlocked and aura 1.1.3 installed before it even finished its first boot.

After fooling with it for a bit, I came to realize there is a dead row of pixels on the screen a half inch thick spanning across the top of the screen....

I already sent an email to the seller and awaiting a reply...

Justvwanted to know if anyone knows another way I can fix this. Could I copy the pds from my other atrix?

Man this blows, since I just ordered an unlock code for that imei as well.

I'm too on the ball and gotta slow down I think lol

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konflikt1911:
No way to fix my atrix had the same issue and I sent it to Motorola and still no fix so I sold it was my fav phone but a lot of early models had that is about a half inch from notification and it sucks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolidHelix:
Well that sucks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
You didn't just sell it on ebay did you? :eek:

Solid...Does the touchscreen work in that area or were you unable to boot. If you can't get your cash back, my guess is it took a fall or it passed through an xray machine maybe. New digitizer wouldbe my first thought. Is it there when you fast boot?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XanSama:
Just had the same problem with mine; looks like it's the digitizer.

I flashed back to Bell 2.2.2 (bl and all), restored PDS backup, factory reset, etc and no fix. Sent it back to moto for repair and they told me it was due to water damage (which I think is BS; as I've never had it any where near water.. even made sure to take it out of my pockets before taking a shower to avoid steam).

Got my Atrix around March 20th, so it would have been one of the first run and my buddy who works at a Bell store said he'd seen a couple come back already.

Luckily I had the insurance, so I gave it some real water damage and had it replaced...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolidHelix:
Would the xray machine do that?

They are willing to refund me. I'm problem gonna try that
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolidHelix:
Update:

They offered to refund the price of a new digitizer or shipping to ship it back. I took the price of a digitizer, and now have a $27 digitizer ordered from ebay. Please tell me im not crazy... I kinda have a bad feeling about this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
You must have gotten the original phone at a good price, because I would have taken the refund.

Hopefully everything works out for you!... :)

Hello!

Only for share the info, seems that may be possible really great news for the end of the year...

since according to several links like:

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/android-momentum-mobile-and-more-at.html

seems like IceCream could carry great things but several promises to be great:

1) with Ice Cream Sandwich is to deliver one operating system that works everywhere, regardless of device.( and seems that will be available for old models too)

2) Fully open source?

3) Google buy of moto mobility?

If the above could be true in the future, may be really nice future for Android and even for our humble FlipSides... :-)

Best Regards!

"new devices from participating partners will receive the latest Android platform upgrades for 18 months after the device is first released, as long as the hardware allows..."

I'm not optimistic about what that sentence means for us. The flipside isn't a "new" device, so we may not even count. It came out in November 2010, so if we do get counted, that's only updates until May 2012, assuming our hardware allows it. Considering how short on internal storage the phone is, I don't know if we'll see any official updates beyond 2.2.2... :(
