I got it sorted, its M4G2DE chip also, and iv pulled the battery loads of times + multiple updates from the market and have never had a problem, maybe iv just been lucky,

The way I found the name of my chip for anyone else interested , I installed route explorer from the market the followed the path

Sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name

But when I got to 'name' the file was locked , so just press and hold on 'name' then scroll down to the option open in txt editor, and this will show up the name of the chip

Mine is M4G2DE as well, but I (gladly) have never had any problems at all.

I`m pulling battery many times (have not read any manuals, first :( )
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
If you really have to pull battery and have no other optio., may I suggest to connect the phone to usb or power cable and then remove battery. The phone will still run, now remove the cable.

This reduces chances of fried emmc as the spike which fries emmc when battery is removed doesn't happen.

I am not saying that this is fry proof, but just that it reduces the riak.

I take no responsibility for any fried emmc's. Read this method somewhere, hence shared it here

PS: never ever pull the battery if you can avoid it. Use 3 button reset first

[HTC Desire S] Grizzly6117:
thanks

but im not sure if its only me but ive had quite few times where my phone should be broken like freezing on boot, even while installing rom and ive pulled the battery out and my phone seems to fine, ive taken my battery out when my phone as completely not responded at all not even power and volume button restart many times and its fine.

however having said that it will probably happen now lol but thanks ill keep in mind on stopping my phone brick

[HTC Desire S] bigtruite:
I have got still the stock HTC Rom and the EMMC "M4G2DE". My Questions:

could i have the problems of bricking my phone with stock rom?

if i would update my HTC Desire S with the "official" HTC Rom 4.0.3 from www.htcdev.com (updated by RUU), could I even brick my phone?

is there only a problem of bricking the phone with a custom Rom?
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
M4G2DE is the faulty one, so

- this is hardware related, so it could be bricked with stock rom or custom rom

- no if you follow instruction carefully

- as i've said, it is hardware related.
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
Bump after a year.

Afaik, latest market (or more appropriately, play store) updates allow only one app download and install at a time.

My question, what exactly fries the chip? (No, I do not wish to test this :P )

Is it the download of so many apps at once? Or the simultaneous installs that used to happen once-upon-a-market-time?
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
I've done the first 3 do nots. I have also download multiple apps together through 3rd party market.

Pulled battery multiple times, but with the 10-30 sec rule.

Maybe I am just lucky and it has not happen to me, yet....

FromBeyondThisWorld
[HTC Desire S] a.cid:
I believe its not the download part, but the simultaneous installs which fries the chips. Market used to do it, but ever since it was updated to play store, it only downloads and installs one app at a time.
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
doesn't the mods know the rules?! nobody bumps threads after a year:mad:

yes, it's perfectly safe to update many apps at once. but remember, if your device becomes too hot, allow it to cool down. I have update multiple apps at once after reading such guides and nothing happens, the only thing is lags after updating apps. which many people have experienced.

And did u rename rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip? Then put it on the root of ur sdcard then boot into bootloader? Did u try just to run the ruu.exe file from computer? Should work either way.
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
remove your imei number.

and you dont need so much details when asking for help. just the bootloader screen info and cid :D
[HTC Desire S] schopda:
Thanks for reply

Yes its renamed as PG88IMG.zip and its on the root (not under any file/ directory). Nothing happens when I boot in bootloader, I tried option of REBOOT BOOTLOADER under FASTBOOT where it just hangs

When I run RUU.exe, it identifies the version (1.28.401.1) but then keeps showing message "Rebooting to Bootloader" and nothing happens
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
I stand corrected, but, I think you have a eng bootloader, 0.98, should have s-off capabilities.

I think you might need misc_version to run the ruu.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Just noticed ur s-on, so for PG88IMG to work u must be s-off.

And have u all correct drivers installed on ur pc? Stuck on "Rebooting to bootloader" usually driver issue.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Hes s-on plus no need for misc version, his version main is 1.28.401.1 and the ruu hes using is 1.28.401.1 so all should be good.
[HTC Desire S] schopda:
Its S-On. And yes it has all latest driver

Just noticed that this file is going as PG88IMG.rar and not as PG88IMG.zip. Is this an issue? When I am trying to copy as zip file to sd card its refusing to copy with error message as "this device has either stopped responding or been disconnected ...."
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Yes should be PG88IMG.zip only for it to work

Try a card reader to copy over the file to sd
[HTC Desire S] schopda:
I could manage proper zip file. Inserted in sdcard. Mobile could read it. For long time it was showing message as updating bootloader. I lost the patience after half an hour n removed the battery. Now nothing is happening. No logo no bootloader. It's not even charging now. Any clue whats wrong
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Yes, u pulled the battery while it was updating. Now u have corrupted ur bootloader, congrats. Take it to repair shop n see if they have jtag, but to be honest, u could prob by a used desire s for bout 40 euro, fixing ur own would prob cost bout 80 euro with jtag so...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BILL88STANG:
im a bit confused ive searched all over android tablets and some posts on here about installing clock work mod , rooting and wifi tethering. i have a huawei ascend running cm7 that i would like to use to tether to my daughters coby 7022 tablet and ive tried a few tethering apps and it will not see my phone as a hot spot, ive been told i need to modify a file in root explorer and i need to be rooted to do this. so i downloaded the dump zip file as per your post here about clock work mod 4 and cm7 on these tablets. ive renamed it to update zip like i read but it says to move filt to root folder on sd card and the es file explorere wont let me move the file from the down load folder. second i cant seem to find where to download teh zip for the clock work mod recovery while reading the same post. so if i coudl get some assistance in finding that file and how to move these zips to teh root section to i can install clock work mod and root this that will get me started. lastly i could then use some direction of where to find this fild to modify to allow the androrid to android tethering. thanks !
[General Questions and Answers] TheBlackCat13:
I am looking for a graphing/scientific calculator program for android with very specific capabilities, primarily related to science and engineering tasks:

1. Standard built-in scientific functions, like exponents, exponential, trigonometric functions, and logarithms.

2. The ability to specify custom functions, which are saved and can be used anywhere in the program

3. The ability to handle complex numbers

4. The ability to do limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and indefinite integrals

5. Equation solver

6. Unit conversion, with the ability to create

7. The ability to create and save custom units

8. Log-log or semi-log axis in plots

9. The ability to use expressions in axes and axes ticks (like being able to set an axis to be from -2pi to 2pi with tick marks in pi/4 steps)

To put it simply, I am looking for something that can do what I consider to be the most critical tasks of my TI-89. The closest I have been able to find is handycalc, but functions are restricted to particular worksheets, and it doesn't have 3, 4, 7, 8, or 9 at all.

Note that I would ideally want an application with all of these capabilities, but could live with 2 or 3 applications that each do part. At the very least I would need an application that can do 1-5, an application that can do 6 and 7, and an application that can do 8 and 9. Obviously a free application or applications would be best, but a commercial one or ones would suffice.

Some extra features that would be nice, but are not deal-killers:

1. 3D plotting

2. The ability to use units in formulas

3. Polar and/or complex plane plotting

4. Differential equation plotting

5. Simultaneous equation solving

6. Binary, octal, and hex mathematics

Thank you very much for your help.

Also this page can probably be helpful as well.

http://www.techpoweredmath.com/top-6-calculator-apps-for-android/

From the looks of it the 4th one on the list would probably be the best bet for you.

Hope this helps!
[General Questions and Answers] TheBlackCat13:
Thanks!

I tried algeo, it lacks most of the features I am looking for. 1 on the list you gave me is handycalc, which as I said had the most features but still lacked some of the critical ones. 4 on the list also lacks most of the features I need, and I can't seem to get a keyboard to use it, either.

However, I think I found one that fits most of my needs called MathScript Calculator (sorry, I apparently cannot post links yet).

It costs money, but it should get the job done. It also supports python scripting, which is good for me in general since that is my preferred language. However, there is apparently a major update coming up so I will wait and see what it is like then.

NOTICE: If You did not create the ROM, KERNEL, FIX, MOD, APP, HACK, GUIDE, or if it's not a SOURCE CODE then it should go to Epic 4G Touch General as it doesn't belong in Development.

If your thread can be phrased as a question, it DEFINITELY doesn't belong in Development either. If you post it in Development it will be moved/closed and you may get an infraction or a ban.

There is only 1 exception, stock ROMs are allowed, as long as the link does not require a registration to download the ROM.

You may start planning a [DEV] topic on General or QA and then have it moved to the Epic 4G Touch Android Development section once the actual Development has started.

☞ Development is classified as original work and/or documented edits and changes made to others work (with their permission) that makes it your own.

Stock ROM dumps that are modified (deodexed, etc.) from the manufacturer's original intent and then repackaged together classifies as development.

Kernel's and Recovery obviously classify as development as they are modified and compiled from source

☞ Themes are graphical/visual changes made to a ROM which make's the ROM visually different from the original work, i.e. different battery icons, a blue-color scheme, etc. They may be packaged up together with a full ROM and deployed the same way. Simply running a script (not made by you) to deodex and then packaging other people's work/MOD's into one place does not constitute original development.

Thankyou Mr. Harsh for that kind reply.

i tried the entire procedure again and again with the same rom. i did it with different things told in different threads here like flashing with SD card.. Hard reseting.. soft reseting.. stopping active sync services..etc etc. but was unable to restore my device.

then before trying it for the last time the thing that i remember i did was stopping the service wcescomm in the windows task manager on my pc. after stopping the service i followed the entire and same procedure again with the same rom and i was able to restore my handset to wm6.5 :)

i dont know what all was going wrong. i also dont know what went right.. but fortunately after working on it for the full day by trying all sorts of things i was able to restore my device finally. Thanks to god.

Please can any one/expert here tell me what was going wrong and what went right so that other people facing the same problem can benefit??

Thanks in advance :)

Killing of wcecomm.exe didn't have solved your problem.There will be other reason.Because when you runs ROMupdateutility.exe,It automatically kills wcecomm.exe.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adslee:
Hi all, so I recently sent in my I9000M Bell Vibrant to the service centre in Montreal to get it fixed (it had a fried internal SD) and they sent it back to me with a replaced motherboard (that's what I'm assuming because the phone's mac address changed and the internal SD is in working order now) but as a result the phone is no longer unlocked, which is a problem because I'm not with Bell.

They shipped the phone back to me with 2.3.3 installed, kernal version 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3 and I was wondering if anyone could help me root this thing so I can get it unlocked. I looked around the forum and tried SuperOneClick which didn't work and was unsure of where to go from there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
try flashing one of the kernels designed to install root e.g. Chainfire's kernel (basically stock plus root)or Hardcore's kernel (custom kernel but very robust) -- as you are on KG3 you will need a kernel designed for 2.3.3, not one for jvr or jvs.

Both CF and HC are very good at listing all their kernel variants with the right number of the firmware.

Flash using Odin with the kernel as pda, HC especially has some some clear instructions posted. It will leave you on KG3 stock rom and CSC.

You can also jump some steps, flash stock JVR as pda, leaving your KG3 modem and CSC in place, then flash a more recent JVR 2.3.4 version of either the HC or CF kernel or one like Damian's if you want to move further away from stock.

There are some further questions and answers in the thread on KG3 -- Bell users finally got a GB modem but not the latest GB firmware yet. Some have chosen to customize and go with thelatest firmware, some just wanted to root and stay on stock KG3.

Hey all,

I have always been a fan of other home launchers like launcher pro and go launcher.

What i have noticed though is that they are not "tabled optimized".

With that i mean that you still have the dock like you have on your phone and the icons and widgets are much smaller.

Is there a way to get one of them working the same way as the default launcher?

I like the sizes and i don't need the dock, only thing i do want is the extra options which the alternative launchers provide and i do believe they are smoother than the default launcher.

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] anheuer:
i often get that when i wake my TF that it laggs al little or needs to reload all the widgets and icons.

I want to see if this is due to the default launcher by using a different launcher.

But all the other launchers have smaller icons, have the dock, have other widget sizes, and the app list is ugly!

so far i tried LP, ADW, GO.

None have the same sizes as the default one, so i was wondering if this can be adjusted with some simple settings..
