update Leomar's Revolution Rom to 2.6

seems like the rom I downlaod is no good. Redownload and install solve my problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sausageman:
Can anyone advise about trying to flash someone elses EFS?

Also, any help on my nandroid restore not working?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sausageman:
USB jig ordered.

But, can anyone advise about trying to repair EFS myself?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
All you can do is read the posts asking the same question to see if their is an answer .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sausageman:
Thanks.

I've looked, but had some concerns on top of what had been said previously.

I'd like to try and use the EFS from someone else's phone, but didn't know what could go wrong, and if it would affect trying to get it repaired at a later date.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Flashing someone elses EFS is not advised, You may end up cloning there IMEI, or stuck with the generic IMEI.

Your best bet is to flash the original stock rom, usb jig away the flash counter and send it back.

And when you get a new one, take a backup of the EFS folder ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sausageman:
Thanks,

I guess it is the most sensible thing to do, and hopefully nothing should go wrong (apart from no phone for 2-3 weeks :( )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Firstly, you should not use someone else's EFS as it contains the other person's IMEI. It is "illegal" to modify your IMEI, and using a cloned IMEI, in any if not all countries.

Secondly, a USB JIG does not fix anything, it is only useful if you cannot use the buttons to boot into download mod. It is also useful to reset the Custom Binary Counter.

If you have your own EFS backup, use that, if not, send it back to Samsung or the place of purchase for warranty. You can choose to have the custom binary counter resetted by using a USB JIg, however, if you do not, you can still send it back in to Samsung directly. Bring it to the Samsung service center directly if you wish to have it returned back to you sooner than 14 days.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sausageman:
It looks like there is a service centre near me. I'll reset my counter with the USB jig, and then take it there.

Thanks.

Hello i am a HTC Desire user. i was suffering the low memory problems on desire. so i rooted my phone and installed leedroid's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170633 rom.

well it says that it will get 1gb free space but after installing i checked in Settings>>APP Manager>>Storage Use its showing only 129 MB free :(

is it all right or am i doing anything wrong?

i have also partitioned my sd card as per leedroid (1gb EXT3)

please help

I don't really know where you've seen 1Gb free space.. you've got 1gb free space on you sd card to move your apps to, but you internal memory has 128MB free because this one is limited. You can try moving your apps to sd, but eventually you'll run out of memory.... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
G'day all

My brother's HTC Desire (AMOLED version) kind of had a misadventure and now the touch panel is cracked. Does the whole screen assembly (digitiser and AMOLED panel) have to be replaced (like the iPhone 4), or can just the digitiser be replaced?

How easy is it to replace it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper7881:
got any pics, so we can see how damaged it is
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
that was the main question, so there is no need for pics.

you basically have to take apart the ENTIRE phone to get to the front. It ain't worth it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasirith:
Yeah you do have to take most of the phone apart to get to the digitizer but it's really not that hard. I did it on mine about 6 months ago.

There is a really good video on youtube that shows you ever step of the way and if you buy a digitizer already stuck to the front case part (rather than just the glass) then it's even easier (that's what I did).

Here's the link - have a look and see if you would be comfortable doing it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU

Took me about half an hour all up but that's because i was taking my time to try and be careful. If you do end up doing it I can help you with who suplied my part (around AU$70) and some tips to watch out for..

Tas..

ps. that's of course if the AMOLED screen is still ok ? just a cracked digitizer/glass ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larkspeed:
I cracked the front of mine 2 days after I got it

Ordered a replacement digitizer of ebay and changed it out in about 20 mins using thye already mentioned youtube video.

Separating the digitizer glass from the case is really easy just blast it with a hair drier and it comes apart with no problems.

if only the digitizer is cracked then that's all you need to replace but if the crack is in the amoled as well then obviously it's both but it is not more work since you have to pull the amoled to get to the digitizer anyway
[Thunderbolt General] brownsfan:
I am having a problem with Tbolt on GB. Every few minutes the dialer will come up while browsing the phone. I can be doing anything. It has happened with Liquid Gingersense, Gingeritis, and Gingeritis 3D. I have used the stock radio as well as the two newest leaks but I can't see how the radio would effect that.

I have posted in the bugs section of those roms with no response. Anyone else seeing anything similar or can suggest a fix?

Actually if someone made a ROM like this with the new updated, I'd definitely give it a spin. As of now if you are looking for a CURRENT senseless sense ROM try out Decoris and run the senseless script.

hi,

i'm new to this forum and only heard the best about it!

now before i root my desire and flash a custom rom, i want to make sure i can undo it in case of warranty...

so i'm searching for a RUU or just an original rom which i need to/can flash my desire with to get my warranty back.

can you help me?

i have bought my desire in 01.2011 in austria with A1 branding (it's similar to vodafone in germany)

now here is my software-information:

android-version: 2.2

baseband-version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

i have already searched for it and took a look at this:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
best bet is to just do a Nandroid backup and then restore it if needs be ... ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pj81worcs:
When you succesfully use REVOLUTIONARY to S-Off your phone, it will install clockworck mod recovery. When you have done that, you can then turn off your phone and enter Recovery mode by holdingg Vol - while pressing power on, then from there you can make a back-up of your phones ROM in its current state.

I was new to this too, it is quite daunting but after you've experienced your new ROM and have an idea of what you are doing you'll be very pleased with the improvements and new features you can get. Im using supernova Xtreme with Data2SD and its running smooth as silk with zero issues what so ever. I'd recommend you have a look at Revolutionary on the website(just google android revolutionary) and see there simple guide on rooting. Its a absolute breeze to use there software, had mine S-Off'ed in about 2 minutes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTomGo!:
thanks for your advice!

if i have any questions left, i will post again.. ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk_LA:
But restoring a nandroid won't take your warranty back, because your phone will be rooted still.

Take a look in an Austrian Android forum if your RUU is not in XDA.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTomGo!:
that's what i was thinking about too...

i have used revolutionary now, so i could make a recovery BUT my desire is still not rooted i have only another recovery software (?)

so now i don't know: does my warranty still exist or not?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk_LA:
Mmmm I don't know the revolurionary method, but I think that if you have a custom recovery, you have to be root.

Evenwhen if you are not root, if you changed something from the original Software, probably you don't have any warranty now.

But it would be very strange that there's no RUU for you. If that is the case, if sometime you need your warranty, you can try to push an Official HTC RUU (the debranded one) and probably you'll have no problems. The technical assistence doesn't always look very deeply if you have done something to the software.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTomGo!:
ok, thanks for your statement :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srivats:
Hi, i have just flashed a custom rom onto my HTC desire, but looks like the installation has not gone through fine, the phone tries to boot up but shows the same boot screen over and over with a screeching noice. I have flashed my phone with the following ROM:

LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-Port-R5-A2SD. I now want to go back to my native ROM and am concerned if my phone is bricked. Can you please guide me through this.

Many thanks,

Srivats.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTomGo!:
sure it doesn't work?

i have flashed the same rom as you.. the screeching noise could be the standard leedroid startup sound.. at first boot, it takes some minutes did you try just waiting about 15-20 minutes without doing anything? maybe it would boot correctly...;)

if not, i hope you've done a nandroid backup before flashing?

you should be able to flash the backup in recovery-mode..

[Android Software Development] RichardUK:
As the title says, after 12 hours with a BluetoothServerSocket open bluetooth stops and we have to turn it of and back on again to get it working again.

We are developing an application that runs on 2.2 for a client, we're using 2.2 as this allows us to use a large variety of low cost devices.

One thing our app does is to keep a BluetoothServerSocket open waiting for a connection from our clients custom hardware.

This socket is on a worker thread and so in some situations needs to exit. Closing the connection and trapping the exception does not work on all devices (they crash) and so I added a time out of 5 seconds, check of a thread exit condition, if no exit then wait again.

Any ideas?

[General Topics] KayxGee1:
Oh not at all. Microsoft has a long way to go to catch up with the Android and Apple.

Honestly I feel the only reason Microsoft is down in the smartphone game is because

1- They don't advertise as much

2- They don't have a radically new WP7 that draws users to the phone

3- If they bundled their phones with computer sales, it would allow customers to easily jump into the os.

If they saw those three points and worked on them, it would send them up there with the big boys.

Problem is every court hates ms for integrating software into windows; you think giving away a basic phone with every dell will ease those tensions? Unfortunately, ms can't get away with the crap apple does with every pc, ipod, iphone and ipad.

That's understandable. Still, it then goes back to advertising. It seems as if MS wants people to magically know about their devices.

Waiting for SD Card to mount (19s)

Xperia Pro SK17a(i) "Mango" & MK16a(i) "Lyoken"

This is called the "Mango" and model # SK17a (North America) SK17i Europe. I have a black SK17a, just got it yesterday and playing with it. (This is follow up model to the U20) I'm also waiting for th MK16a (i) which is the Xperia Pro "Lyoken" and have played with it in Black. Awesome phone but all black surfaces are glossy and terrible finger print magnets. The SK17a, so far has a matt black keyboard surface and is much better in this regard. It is a smaller phone and smaller screen than the Pro (lyoken) version.

Amyone know where to get the Silver MK16A?

Cheers,

Takoda
[About XDA developers] rcummings100:
I've played with both and decided to buy the MK16a. The keyboard felt a lot better to use and the bigger screen was definitely worth having. The phone is still pretty small for a full QWERTY inside and feels great in your hand. It's slightly curved on the back side, making it fit perfectly in your palm, both when talking on it as a normal phone, or in landscape mode to give you something to grip onto.

I got the black version and have to say it really is a beautiful device. The chrome buttons and side plating are beautiful compared to the black case. My only complaint about that is it's a fingerprint magnet, as you said. But really, it's JUST fingerprints.... it's not the end of the world. A quick rub of the sleeve will get them to disappear pretty fast.

If you want a cheap black version, the Canadian carrier Fido is selling them in Canada for $350 off contract. Unfortunately Fido locked down the bootloader, so you have to use SETools to unlock it. But that's easy enough to do - just costs a bit more money and some patience. PM me for more info if you're interested and I'll send you in the right direction.

Now, if anyone has any information on how to ROOT the MK16a (Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro) it would be GREATLY appreciated!! There are plenty of instructions for the rest of the family - the Arc, Neo, Play, but not the Pro.

There's no definitive BEST. It's all about what you do and how well you manage it. I get pretty great battery life with CM7 and LordMod's kernel. But some people have battery drain issues with cm7 nightlies. It's more about you and your phone. Experiment, try stuff out, see what works best for you.
