[Ideos S7 General] wessling75:
Ok so this is my first post, apologizes for posting here but I cant post it in development because I am a noobe lol :D

First let me explain some history . . .for the last 2 months I have been trying to Root and install a custom recovery on the IDEOS s7 (Telstra/Australian), running Indo 2.2 . . .

Following ALL the suggestions found in the forum and elsewhere only resulted in set back after set back . . .my s7 refused to Root (although I extend my gratitude to everyone here for there solutions and work-arounds) . . .

Gingerbrake . . Fail :(

Super one click . . Fail :(

(Modified) Super one click . . Failed :(

And out of frustration Revoked, scripts, terminal, dos, etc, etc . . LOL

The closest we got to rooting was with an un-modified Super one click.

Installed (and un-installed) every driver I could find for the s7 under windows7 but Super one click would not see the s7 at all.

However after a forced un-install of the drivers and reinstall of the drivers from the Ideos_S7_Froyo_1.3_Upgrade_tools package the xauBeta_CWR_0.1/CWM-Install-Script would see it untill the s7 would reboot into Bootloader (then nothing).

From there I found after some experimentation Super one click would "see" the s7 and start Rooting it until failing (at step 4) if you re-installed the drivers (again) and run xauBeta_CWR_0.1/CWM-Install-Script stopping it just before it reboots the s7 into bootloader.

If you then exit bootloader on the s7 and re-press root in Super one click as the s7 is booting normally it would complete steps 1 through 6 (maybe 7) until failing when the s7 finishes booting . . .

So thinking it may work if I could slow down the boot up on the s7 I closed everything -

1. Re-installed the drivers from the Ideos_S7_Froyo_1.3_Upgrade_tools package into windows7 (swearing included).

2. Started the xauBeta_CWR_0.1/CWM-Install-Script until it found the s7 but did not continue further into re-booting the s7 in bootloader mode (keep it running).

3. Opened Super one click and pressed "Root" and waited until it said it was "Waiting for the device"

4. Then did a "normal" reboot of the s7 and kept pressing the Down Volume key in the hopes of "slowing" the boot time.

I don't know enough to know if pressing the down key would do anything but it did appear to slow down the boot time and allow time for Super one click to complete all the steps un-hindered and root the s7 (finally).

So if anyone is experiencing the same trouble as me rooting the s7 you could try this(but I give no guarantees).

I seem to have a particularly troublesome s7 and have found getting a recovery on as well very difficult . . . I will post soon the only way I could get one on mine later.

I hope this is useful to someone out there (like me) . . oh and yes if some of the things I have mentioned are obvious (or well known) to others please forgive me I am a Noobe and could not get any of the work-arounds I found to work as best as I understood them.

Regards,

Andrew.

Ok so I'll skip the story. It's bricked. I cannot turn it on after a failed update, I contacted support and I can't bring it in. How do unbrick the software? Repair doesn't work. I'll try again tomorrow. It's on stock software. I bricked my gfs phone so I need help ASAP.

Need to flip a coin but your pocket is empty? Coin Toss Up is a unique Coin Toss as it is random but only as random in a 50/50 chance. What does this mean? You can toss the coin 4-5 times and hit heads, just like in real life but most others will use a randomizing routine from 1-1000 but making it really not like a game of Coin Toss, the chances are one or the other.

Also designate who is Heads or Tails, this way you can't claim "I didn't hear that!".

Hmm Guess I gotten hooked on Boot animation creation. I am currently working on screens as I am writing .. Ill post em as I complete and test them for functionality.

All Working on my D3

For those new, I place the bootanimation file into the /data/local/

thus keeping the original files in tact.

Reboot to see the new animation.

Ill even do requests... As I have the time..

Here's 2 Batmans just the normal droid sound :(

Ive been saving these on my sd so i only have to paste the zip to the data/local folder. The bat1.zip said it was like 33 meg though. Might want to look at that. Bat2 was cool. Im sticking with prime so far though. You have a nack for these boot animations
[Motorola Droid 3] IronFists:
i cut the animation in half and went with jpeg this time png makes larger size Im going to cut down on the eye animation next ... yeah makes a big difference in boot time being smaller...

What do you mean, if you want the recovery version, look at the original thread in the developer forum. Also, this thread is pointless as 1. The main topic is in the developer forum 2. there are around 2 or 3 guides (including mine) that explain all of this anyway.

Wipe your data and re-flash. Where did you get the ROM from? Either get it from: Mur4ik's Twitter account or the 4pda thread (remember it's in Russian) as these are directly related to Mur4ik.

[GT540 Optimus General] wuerzet:
Do you have proper drivers instaled?
[GT540 Optimus General] MarceeKa94:
Yes , I installed all drivers
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
What to do you mean by that? You need to have command prompt set to the directory or the ROM along with the fastboot files.

after doing all the steps, i got 2.3.5.. but i forgot to reboot.. i just turned my phone off, then i received nothing but a black screen. i can enter "download mode" but all i see is a black screen when i turn my phone on normally. what do i do??

Flash a ROM via KDZ Updater

After doing some research, I tried disabling android modem driver on device manager. Then i tried KDZ and it worked :D BUT, there's another problem ..:(

KDZ stops at "23:57:41 : Smart : wParam = 205, lParam = 215". :confused: why does it do this and what do i do??

Well, after "lParam = 215", the "download mode" goes away and all i see is a black screen. i think it's trying to reboot.. but i don't see any Lg logo, just a black screen. I waited for about 10 minutes and it ain't doing anything...

But now I waited a little longer.. about 15 minutes.

After "IParam = 215", KDZ said:

"16:06:01 : Smart : wParam = 100, lParam = 6

16:06:01 : Step : Upgrade Error error code = 6

Then it notified me "Ugrade Error WParam:100 LParam:6"... the phone still shows a black screen, and i can still go "download mode".

Hi,

This is really 2.3.7 or is it someone changing it in the build.prop?

In build.prop it is 2.3.3 with GRI40?

Can't install the 2.3.7 on my phone

Hi,

I hope that someone can help me or just explain the installation process.

The problem is that I can't install 2.3.7 by the Android237GT540_06-OctoberENG.exe and even by the cmd command in Windows (manual fastboot installation).

I have installed all the drivers and my LG is visible by the PC - I hope...

What I did to install Android237GT540_06-OctoberENG.exe:

1. my GT540 is already updated by the KDZ and rom with fastboot from the zip pack from Murik,

2. fastboot mode turned on the phone and connected to PC,

3. after that all the installation process of the Android237GT540_06-OctoberENG.exe is installed on my PC at the folder C:GT540 (,but not on the phone).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hope that someone will help me to solve this problem.

Thank you all.

________________________________________________________________________

CMD command: can't detect the device or external device.

I've tried re-install all the drivers twice and there is still the same problem...

I can't even install Muri4k's ROM using recovery. Maybe his ROM needs the newest version of clockworkmod, than 2.5.1.8?

some issues with 2.3.7

Had one weird internet access lockup both on wifi and cell but only with browser (market worked) Have to reboot.

Had one complete freeze event after phone call without anything on screen and felt like cpu was intense since it heated up. Had to restart by taking out battery.

ISO settings are missing in default app. With others it just doesn't make a difference when changed. I think this issue was on 2.3.5 too.

Noticed Maps widget is missing, though app itself is latest.

No boot screen. Didn't had it with 2.1, or any of 2.3. only with 2.2. Which is weird. not sure if it's my device or what.

Everything else is fantastic, thank you for continuing this project.

What makes me happy:

- mp4 encoding works more fluently. Quality is fantastic, except slightly distorted image when moving fast. It's significantly smaller though with 2.3.7 I'm using lgcamera.

- Improved javascript performance in browser (particularly jquery).

- cpu management integrated. Would adore widget for it though.

What would make me even more happy:

- HIDDEN url bar on default browser- hate that thing!
[GT540 Optimus General] AlmondMan:
Hello,

I just updated my GT540 to 2.3.7, using the "update" exe available at at least android forums, and now I'm in rather a pain. The phone on first boot would sit only in airplane mode. I took out the battery and restarted, and that fixed that. Now when I try to enter APNs, and click "save" it doesn't save them. I'm somewhat at a loss here, as the phone is now nothing more than a fancy calculator :|

Reinstall from scratch the only option? Cause that is so annoying :|
[GT540 Optimus General] sapfiremm:
Hey. I think you should to full install (not update). I always go with install and this time it worked like a charm. Give it a try.

Sorted some of above stated problems myself but still... It feels kind of laggy compared to 2.3.5 (i did took some time tuning up performance with 2.3.5, now I can't remember danm thing). I don't know. I hate that performance stuff under settings. Someone should do a decent tutorial to sort that part out once and for all.

Issues with new Market version?

Is anyone else experiencing following?

Sometimes app updates are still shown as there are new updates even I've just updated. Also Sometimes when I purchase app it's refusing to download for half an hour or so (I get email with receipt immediately after purchase), which kind of makes 15 minute refund option pointless and I'm sure you know there are a bazzillion of crappy apps out there.

I'm not sure if it's only a case with 2.3.7 or market app problem, but it's a major annoyance.

hello everyone, i have been using the CM7 for gt540 rom since 2.3.3, and i just updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.7, but now i have a pretty big problem.

at minutely after i updated, the screen would either not respond at all, or it would be way off (like when i push on the outer left side of the screen it opens the browser, and i cant get to the app menu at all anymore). anyone got an idea how to fix this?
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
I've noticed that on mine too. The update could be a glitch. Did you update your Market app?

Backup your apps, then wipe and reflash the ROM.

[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Use fastboot to flash the ROM or the corresponding application that was given.

If you do have the images (files with the file extension '.img'):

Put the fastboot files and the images in one directory and then flash your phone via command prompt.

Hello, ive just updated my phone from 1.6 to 2.1 (Official)

since this is a customrom (and im quite new to the android platform) do i need to root my phone before doing this? (installing gingerbread)

i tried using z4root but it didnt work(since the phone storage warning is driving me nuts i also want to root lol)

Thanks

Yeah, I could not root my phone either, being Official 2.1, can anyone answer us? Does it has Screen Calibration?

Man, u don't need to root ur phone to upgrade a phone, u can upgrade them whenever u want without root, but, BE CAREFUL cause u may brick ur phone (IT can be solve) but u need to read a lot, or just try to be smart! :D

[GT540 Optimus General] DeepMix:
Well i just did the upgrade to gingerbread, the phone is awesome so far (not as fast as it was on 2.1 but still is fast)

haven't found screen calibration so far, neither any bug... any tips about increasing speed? i have a 2gb microsd so im not convinced about overclocking yet.

Any tips will do, thanks a lot :)

oh btw: during the fastboot installation the phone shows several system errors (dont get scared as i did lol its all normal)
[GT540 Optimus General] zigma80:
It should be faster than 2.1 stock rom.

Right after the first boot, system is populating cache. At that time, your device might a little bit laggy. But after that, it should be faster ..

elieve me, i've tried many ways out, even with adb, z4, super, everything i could, but could not, guess it was the rom i had, but who cares, found out rom with root which worked fine but idk, im not pretty sure bout that rom, does this one has Screen Calibration?
