[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
Hello!

I recently purchased a EVO 3D from a member here. Little did i know that it was on a custom rom, rooted and all that non-sense. Either way, I got a soft brick and would really just like to get the stock rom on the phone. Could any of you provide me with a x515a rom? Even a nand would do if considerable. Right now i cannot find a original rom accept for one of the devs on this board via PM, which wants money for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
A developer on this forum should not be charging you money for a rom, you need to report this developer to the mods.
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
He stated that its a cost from his source.
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
His source is him....he is full of bleep
[HTC EVO 3D] DirtyMildew:
check this link out, it helped me via Rogers HTC EVO 3D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202422
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
Yea i flashed it. But now there is a Rogers original rom thanks th jayv18 (i thknk that was it)
[HTC EVO 3D] javigc:
Good thing you found the solution to your prob not many find an answer that quickly which makes me think why didnt you thank DirtyMildew. ok ill say it for ya thanks jayv18 whatever it is and dirtymildew :)
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
That was a link to virtuous ROM which is based off the euro version. I was looking for stock Rogers :)
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
Gotcha well thanks for that!
[HTC EVO 3D] DirtyMildew:
Did you find the Rogers Stock ROM yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
Yes, after jayv paid football $15, football has the stock rom listed in the stock roms thread in GSM Dev.
[HTC EVO 3D] DirtyMildew:
Kool! Do u have it all back on Rogers stock now? Did u use the link I shared with you on ur phone? And if so, which one you like best? I'm asking cuz I'm thinking if I should go back to stock or not. Just wish u could change font without rooting!
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
Went back to stock and rooted it, deleted all the Rogers apps via Titanium backup (im in the US so they dont work anyway). I like stock, ive always liked stock roms the most. Less bugs, less issue and in this case, better battery life. Its always been that case for me tho :-).
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
just get the Rogers RUU from the GSM Dev section. BAM! problems solved
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
Thanks. however i did that 8 posts ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] icepixie:
Just a quick follow-up... if I download the original Rogers RUU from the thread and flash that, will it revert totally back to stock? I need to send my device back to Rogers but I had used Revolutionary to get S-Off and also root.
[Defy Android Development] :
I would like to share the results I got from tweaking (root needed) this registry:

File:

/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

Registry:

PowerSavePowerLevel = 1

#0 - ELP

#1 - PD

#2 - AWAKE

The default value was ELP, but that way my WiFi keeps disconnecting from WPA2 AES enabled Access points.

I changed to PD and problem solved.

First a made a copy of the file to backup if something went wrong, I used a text editor to change the "tiwlan.ini" and then rebooted the phone.

But now WiFi wastes more energy, can't have everything.
[Defy Android Development] ezantera:
Change to wpa1, I did it and solve all my wifi problems :D
[Defy Android Development] mainbord:
Or you can use programm wi-fi fixer
[Defy Android Development] :
But clearly this is Defy's problem, and WPA2 AES is very popular where I live, that is not praticable for me.

I'm going to give it a try. But tweaking powersave can be a solution to many problems, there should be an app to let users switch it easily.

EDIT:

best setting I found in the program is the option to disable wifilock:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.WifiLock.html

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9781

It is similar to change power saving...

EDIT:

Until now I haven't been able to reproduce the wifi disconnections after disabling lock using Wifi fixer and rebooting.

Same result as "Power Down" mode (PD), question is, what wastes more energy, if it is hardware mode PD

or software wifilock (not allowing turn off when the device is idle).

in progress
[Defy Android Development] SpotTech:
Your tweak don't change anything, the wifi connectivity still don't better
[Defy Android Development] :
Your phone suffer from random disconnections (WPA2 AES enabled Acess Point) as mine did?

Are you sure the value of "PowerSavePowerLevel" in "tiwlan.ini" was successful changed from zero to one,

and you restart/reboot your Android after the change?

My ROM is stock Gingerbread -134 (2.3.4), what's yours?
[Defy Android Development] SpotTech:
Yes, i have made a new zip update with this value in tiwlan.ini.

But i'm not disconnected, this the connectivity with the web.

The link still here, but no page or no dl is possible

my rom is MIUI 1.8.27

Sorry for my english
[Defy Android Development] businessman9:
my wifi is connected but cant get to internet when AES with buffalo hp-g300n,

I just changed to TKIP and wifi works without problems.

I tried changing powersaving , 802.11n on/off, dhcp/manual ip, and none of them worked fine.
[Defy Android Development] SpotTech:
I'am too, but in tkip my network aren't in optimal config for other stuff of my network!! :(
[Defy Android Development] miscz:
I have to test it more but it seems to fix my problem with WiFi.

My home network is using WPA2 with TKIP. Using CM7 and MIUI I have experienced disconnects while downloading larger files or watching Youtube. Regular browsing was ok but I couldn't really use Android Market. Stock ROMs were fine, even those based on leaked 2.3.4.
[Defy Android Development] :
Now we are 2 :). Hope it helps more people.

Your english is really good for me, it is not my native language too :p

I replaced mine the old way, using copy/paste with root access and the app ES Explorer.

I'm attaching to this post the original "tiwlan.ini" that came with my ROM (without the tweak), for you to check if it's equal to your ROM's original "tiwlan.ini".

My disconnection is the same, I only know it because I try to open a site or download and doesn't work, system keeps showing wireless connected.

You can try the program suggested by mainbord (Wifi Fixer), and in "preferences"/"Advanced Options" uncheck "Enable Wifi Lock". This is an alternative that solved my problem too.
[Defy Android Development] SpotTech:
I can't open your tiwlan.ini... i have test wifi fixer, but i don't see any difference.. I think solve the problem whit any mod in wpa_supplicant...

but I'm not sur...

in the wpa supplicant del the option wpa2
[Defy Android Development] romuleta:
I have experienced disconnects only with roms based on leaked 2.3.4. CM7 was OK. Now I'm using oficial Retail 2.2.1, with tiwlan.ini set with PowerSavePowerLevel = 0 (ELP) and everything is OK.

I'm going to install Motoginger Teaser v4 tonight and, if problem persist, I'll try this tiwlan.ini modification.

EDIT: Problem with Motoginger persists. Testing with option 1 set and no disconnection untill now.

Thanks for the trick.
[Defy Android Development] geecko:
After using that trick, my phone can't connect to wifi (only tried my WPA AES) and (could be unrelated) can't use the SIM card. Data wipe doesn't fix it...
[Defy Android Development] :
@m!k3

I'm sorry that it does not work in your case.

@romuleta

now we are 3 :)

@geecko

What is the version of your ROM?

Do you have a backup of your original "/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini"

to replace as suggested in the #1 post?

EDIT: I've found your thread describing it.

It seems you already had strange problems with PIN and Wifi before making the tweak, and after the tweak (not sure if immediately) things got worse.

Hope someone can help you find exactly where the bug is.
[Defy Android Development] alexandruvlad:
A link to that program please?

Thx
[Defy Android Development] sferrariba:
All credit goes to miui devs and miui.es team

No battery drain. As far as i know works perfectly. Zero fcs.

Install as any other Miui. If you already have any other miui just flash zip and then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

If you have any other rom do a stock wipe (data and cache) then flash latest official 2.2, root with super one click, install 2nd init run it, then in latest cwm based recovery do a data wipe then flash zip then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Is there any way to trigger the update to the latest Android Market APK ?

It updated itself automatically a few days ago while I was running on KG3, but I flashed JVR yesterday and since then, it doesn't seem to want to update...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Nope. But you can download the newest market apk yourself. Just google for it.

knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Manually update it! Just search for the latest market Apk on Google and after downloading it just install it! Btw I had the link saved somewhere if I find it ill provide you with it!

Sent from my sgs

Dont update the latest android market is buggy & too slow last 2 days it shows all the apps which have update but cant download any, gives error connection times out..............try again, my data connection has no speed problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senotrius:
exactly..for first few days the new app was fast but soon like said above it became a total waste.now uninstalled updates and using old 2.3.6 market version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Me too reverting back to 2.3.6 for now.

How do I revert back to 2.3.6?

When trying to install 2.3.6.apk it says "there is a problem parsing the package"

Edit

I uninstalled update then restarted the phone & it finally reverted back to older 2.3.6 and it works fine now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkstar93:
My galaxy s II has build number GINGERBREAD.BOKF3 - would the kf3 insecure kernel (is there one)work with it or is there a separate one needed for my version?? also once its rooted is there a secure one i can re flash with so the triangle is gone on boot up?

sorry about this question but this is the first android phone ive had that i want to root (mainly to unlock) and don't want to turn my shiny phone into a shiny brick. Any help is much appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkstar93:
ive just read through the article - so do i download this and flash it - is that it rooted?? or do i flash this then super one click and root - im confused by the looks of the firmware it looks like a dev tool. :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon3sh:
Find the right insecure kernel for your version KF3 and it will root your device then flash stock kernel to fix the yellow triangle showing whenever you reboot your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You follow the instructions and flash the required file Super one click is not mentioned .

KF3 from post 4 .

Its not a dev tool its a modified kernel with root and cwm .

Ok thank you both for your help :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
Hello Everyone,

I've been reading the "Ultimate Guide to the Huawei U8800" at the Modaco Android Forum, and until know I've been able to root my phone, install the recovery and fix the reversed Camera Bug.

But the fallowing part of the Tutorial talks about Firmware Update, is this really important before installing a Custom Rom ? And, if it is can anyone explain me why ?

Thanks in Advance,

Luis Da Costa

PS: Sorry for my bad English :S...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Well someone here at xda wrote that with the newest firmware you get a baseband-update for some devices (he was not sure I think). I did not apply the newest firmware, maybe it was already installed, at least I did not encounter any problems.

You cannot break anything by applying the newest update from Huawei. So if you want to make sure, go ahead. Just do not stick to the Huawei-ROM. Do yourself a favor and install void, Oxygen oder Miui. I use Oxygen, it is based on Android 2.3.5 which is just very fast and the battery lasts about 2 days. You won't get much support for the Huawei-ROMs and there are some bugs. But there also are bugs with the custom-ROMs, so read the description first.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
I would strongly suggest updating to the latest B138/B162 before installing a custom Rom. To my knowledge, a stock Rom installation does the firmware upgrade on the screen/internal modules as well.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
Thanks for your help. I just have one question. Since all links from Modaco are down, where can I download the lastest firmware ?

Thanks in Advance,

Luis Da Costa
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
Thanks you. Just a question, are you sure it is safe to me to install this firmware with my U8800 Phone ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
As long as yours is a U8800 and not U8800H, then you should be just fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
B138/B162 are the same?

I thought that B162 was newer than B13x versions.

Can you explain please?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
They are not the same. B13x are generally made for the whole world, except China. Being the home country, China has a dedicated set of Roms - B158, B160, B162 versions.

B138 is as new as B162, they were both released at the same time. I don't like B162, the icons and interface are slightly different.

I would recommend B137/B138, preferably 138 as it has the latest drivers.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Ok, thanks for the quick explanation.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
I'm also interested in this, but i can't find the latest stock firmware for u8800. Anyone can help ?:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
I love you :P

Thanks! :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
where can I find B138?

I found only links to huawei' s site, but all have page not found error.

EDIT:

just refreshed the page and show that others asked same question.

Sent me a link please
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] shantam:
Can anyone send me link for firmwares
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Awesome and magnificent katu2006 can i have the b138 too ?:) You've sent me B137 (or it's the same ?:P)

edit: you beat me to it, i love you x2 :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
Advise

For those that want to update the firmware of their devices, don't worry (I was very scary indeed :S), the phone will boot, and reboot, and reboot, and reboot .... until you see and Android screen ^^

OH THE CAMERA IS SO FAST COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE !!! Thank you ! A lot really :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
I've used all roms and they work very well (I still prefer Oxygen), but I cannot use them because they need and External SD Card to take picture and listen to Music....

So until there I have no choice that stay with the Original Rom :S...

If only I can help solve the problem...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Varatesh:
Could someone PM me the link of b138 as well?

For that matter, why can't someone just post a link to the file here?

Edit: Got it now, though I won't share the link since it isn't mine to share.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] OziiX:
Can I get a pm for the B138 ROM? Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Sure you can. :)

Maybe could you also send me a short instructions how to update? I am New at Android.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
The same for me! A PM of b138 please!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Hmm interesting I know about the AMSS.bin (baseband) but is there really more? Will those upgrades in that case stay updated if I first make a nandroid backup and then upgrade to 162 or 138?

EDIT: I also would like a link to 138, 168 or both if you got :) Btw why can't we just post the links in a thread or atleast a link to a textfile with links to the ROMs?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Add1cteD:
A B138 link would be sweet!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] paulo_andre:
I would also like a link.

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skifyr123:
hi katu2006 can i also have the link please :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Yes all upgrades are stored in bootloader and they are not touched by nandroid backup. A full stock Rom installation should upgrade the firmware to some internal components (wifi, screen, sensors etc).

Check your PMs, all of you... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:
If you have a link for stock rom 138 for me too it would be sweet!

Many thanks!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Has anyone seen real improvements after updating to the offcial ROM and then installing a custom one??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
If you install 138 or 162 you get the latest baseband (the AMSS.mbn-file). That can solve alot of connectivity issues.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sampsaH:
Could I also get the link katu2006?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] SrecThaMon:
hello, i'm also looking for the stock b138 rom. Can anyone please send the link to me?

Thank you in advance katu2006 :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Any improvements in wifi, battery, camera etc?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
battery wise, not really as all Froyo roms have a "failing to sleep" problem. But everything else works much better with B136/B137 and far better with B138. I remember the B133 was pretty much useless in terms of wifi, camera, sensors etc with 8h battery life...In my opinion, B133 and everything up to B135 were absolute fails as Roms... If I had to use B133 or anything like that for more than a week, I would have sold the phone the next day. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Well lets see if the B138 makes any real difference.

Could i have a link too pls? :)

edit:

Does anybody else have a problem with the zip? Thats the second download that gives me a "bad" warning on clockwork and fails to install :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
You can't flash it with clockworkmod, that's why it fails. Inside the zip, you'll find a folder called "dload", extract this one into the root of your sd card. Power off the phone and press power + both volume buttons and the huawei firmware upgrade will kick in. It will erase all of your user data by doing so though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Uuuuhm thx i might have thought of that but i cant even open the zip under windows. I get a corrupt zip file message.

Thats the third time im downloading it with different browsers. FFS :/ I'll try another computer.

Edit: Scratch that winrar does the trick once again. Thx :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Exciting times....

Phone just died after the upgrade. Official installation finished apparently with no errors. Phones turns off. Never turns back on!

No response to any keypress, completely dead. Any ideas before i take it back for service?

I already tried pulling out everything (battery, sim card, memory card) and waiting.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
That shouldn't happen :P Are you sure the battery was fully charged?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Figured as much :P

98% i think it should be enough. Anyway, the phone is the bare definition of bricked :P

Last i checked those updates came directly from huawei and were available on the official website right? (thinking about warranty :P)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Yes it's an official firmware upgrade directly from huawei. We all flashed it successfully from what i can tell.. There's a pdf inside the zip you downloaded it, but checking through it, i didn't find any info about bricking the phone. It shouldn't brick the phone :P You have the u8800 and not u8800H right ? since you're on voda Greece, i can guess you bought it from a wind store, but it was worth asking.

with the battery off, try putting it back on and press both volume keys again. will it power on ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
a) Yeap wind store in ampelokipoi so i dont think we even get the H here.

b) Already tried both volume buttons, volume up, plain power button.

Its actually as dead as it gets :P Lets hope they dont start their usual "greek warranty" stuff when i get there i'm really in no mood to rub the law on their face one more time :P

Aaaaaaaand getting offtopic here. I'll let you know if it was actually the upgrade that killed it or some other hardware kink.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
I can feel your pain :P I hope everything turns out well and you wont get any warranty bs from them. If there's any good news to that, is that by doing the upgrade process, you revert back to a non-root, completely stock rom, although i don't know if the recovery gets overwritten too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Well i really doubt the recovery gets overwriten but hopefully they wont be able to boot it up either. We'll see. I'm heading there now its like a block from here :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Last time I did a stock install to 138 the recovery was also overwritten. But that is maybe done on of all the reboots it make. Btw plug it into a Linux machine and see if it detects something while you try to boot it.

Sent from my Ideos x5
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Wow, this is the first time I hear about a bricked U8800. I can't believe that it won't power up, after a Stock Rom upgrade. Especially this specific Rom, was installed by at least 50 members here...

Yes, the B138 Elisa Rom is official from Huawei and warranty should cover it. Don't worry, if it said installation completed, recovery mod was replaced for sure.

What happens if you press VOl+ and Power?

Or if you just plug it into power?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Well its complicated but i'll try and put it simply...

Nothing :P

I tried every combination its completely dead. No charge no power-up no matter what i did.

Anyway i was lucky enough to brick it the day they send the devices to the local service point so its already beeing taken care of. They'll call me within the week to let me know.

Fingers crossed it doesnt boot so they'll just replace it :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Ok, let us know how this goes...you're a pioneer on this area. :) Good luck!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
I already use dzo's amms file from his android developement forums topic (b162). do you think should i flash the elisa b138 or i already have everything i need?

Sometimes i experience wifi problems thats why 'm asking. Thanks in advance.

Sent from my u8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
That's what I thought initially, but I tried to use the Dzo's AMSS files and my phone wouldn't boot properly...therefore I believe it's recommended to flash the latest Stock Rom available.

I think that during the installation, the AMSS file gets update based on your hardware inside the phone (maybe it does some sort of hardware id), as we all know that some X5s have different hardware components.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tengchie:
Hello. Can you also kindly send me a link for an update for x5 ideos.

Thank you.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
