great... the first ten bytes are 46 53 ... that is the ASCII "FSR_STL"...

This should be the 'container' of a RFS filesystem.

For my experience, you have two ways, one on your pc that may fail, the other on your phone that surely work.

0 - setup: you should download an exadecimal editor (HxD should be free, for example), then look for the header of a FAT filesystem (something like EB 12 90 4D 53 57 49 4E 34 2E 31 00 10 01 26 01, i.e. the ASCII "___MSWIN4.1_____"). Remove the header before that point, and save as bml5.rfs.

1 - PC: try to open bml5.rfs with MagicISO.

2 -SGM: on device with adb shell, you can mount the bml5.rfs filesystem.

A little help needed..

Stepph and Doc or others,

In this hex dump can u point which are the headers, lengths and offsets of the files inside?

Not just that, I would like to know/understand how to identify them? :)

A slightly bigger image is here.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
what i can see:

the string starts with MSM72X27A_PDA ... usually this identify what kind of file you are managig with ... google find something on wakoopa, a 'recovery downloader' from samsung... seem right.

Then i see a list of partition names (the readible strings) each followed from some codes.

In order to know what that codes are, one need some other some clues...

(for example, for the dump in the very start of this post, i get the lenght and the size of partitions since they match with other info, like the numbers of blocks, and the size of each separate partition).

Here we have 32bytes long complex strings - maybe keys or crypto-related-things.

For the remaining parts i could try some investigation, but I need more tools...

1) I need a file, not an image - could you trim this part and send it ?

2) I suppose it is the very start of a ROM, but how do you got it ? by download or dump ?

bye
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Those are md5sums

It's not a dump (guess i made a mistake in my previous post) it is a `.....PDA.SMD.MD5` a stock samsung rom pda for S6500.

Can get it from here, or do u want me to upload a gzip of that file?

It has recovery,boot and all those u see inside.

This is the script to extract it but some parameters need to be changed for it to work on this file.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
Great !!

...just reading DOC discovery on his memory 3d...

I'm unable to download big files... but you can help me whit a list of the files, with their size ?

you can send as text what you send as image ? i cross my eyes in following lines...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
That is the prob, the file is a SMD_PDA_S6500XXLD2_CL1095010_REV02_user_EMMC.SMD.md5

No idea how to open/extract it (script in my previous is supposed do that).

Chk the attachment, i dont know if it it'll help.

I'm not sure how to send it as text..if i export, the file is too big.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
Sorry...i'll start working on this tomorrow... Let u know.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
ok, now i

really

worked on that :o...

attached you find a table...

...a little ordering in the data you send...

removed the 'signature' MSM7X27A_PDA and its padding.

checked that start+lenght=start of the next.

in yellow some difference i cannot explain.

if you have a rom you can compare this lenghts with component parts,

or if you have a complete dump, you can also check start offsets.

--------------------------------

edit: the yellows cell on the first row should'nt be yellow... my mistake...

hope this may help.

Still kind of a noob to all of this...

I've read multiple threads on how to get these functions working correctly. Most of these either don't make much sense to me, even after hours of trying to research them. Beyond that, after hours of trying and looking through multiple sources, threads, and forums, cannot get ADB working, nor can I get the proper drivers to install (yes I booted in recovery mode, still, no luck, even after manually downloading the drivers.). I have been trying to use ES File Explorer to place files in my /system dir manually.

I have found one thread about how to get MMS and GPS working with CM7, which is what I'm running, but it involves using ADB, as well as updating a PRL (which I have no idea how to do). The following link is where i found this info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793588&page=4

In addition, I tried flashing Jiminy mod, but I guess I didnt do it right, cuz I noticed to differences or changes. Sorry if it seems like I haven't done my research, because I have. Its just hard to start learning this stuff if there is no clear starting point for learning it all.

I've been trying for about 2 months to get my GPS and MMS working, but to no avail. Please, if anyone has some helpful insight to offer, I would greatly appreciate your time and effort in this. Thanks a lot, guys!
[Vibrant General] joselamar:
OK guys,

I let the battery on my phone purposely drain completely until the phone shut off on its own. The battery status was at 3% before I let it drain, then I would imagine it went to obviously 0%. So, I took the battery out for about five minutes to cool off, I put everything back, and plugged the phone to a USB port to charge. To my surprise the battery level displayed at 67%. I think something is not correct here. Charging the phone with a micro usb cable from 0% to 67% in a few seconds is not possible. What is that, supersonic charge? :D

Can someone please explain what is going on here? Could it be the ROM? Is someone having the same issues?

Thanks,

Hey Guys,

You may get new features on the 2.3.4 update..

HD Video Recording, Auto Brightness Switch etc

But Sony have patched the games laucher so PsXperia no longer works.

Sony think they are smart, but surely PsXperia will be fixed in due time.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
How have they fixed it? do the games just not launch or do they just not show up in the games launcher?

If they just dont show up in the games launcher then its not a big deal.

[Xperia Play General] yifanlu:
So does it work or not? I've hear both cases. Also, someone get a logcat of it when trying to run a game. I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to "fix" if they truly wanted to stop it. Someone's going to have to do a lot of work.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
I've reboot a few times and it's not working for me.
[Xperia Play General] gctKAZ:
My post count isn't up to 10 yet so I cannot post in the official PSXperia release thread.

Anyway, I have been using FPse until now, today I have tried PSXperia for the first time and want to thank yifanlu for a wonderful bit of software, it is running Mr.Driller G much better than FPse and that's really all I need to be happy with the software.

Furthermore, I am running 2.3.4 OTA which was updated from a rooted generic HK 2.3.2 -> 2.3.3 installed on a Canadian Play via wotanclient. I never tried PSXperia on 2.3.X but it's working fine in my 2.3.4 - actually I should add, the application flashes a quick message and quits immediately, but upon starting the application again it runs fine. So maybe it's just stock 2.3.4 having problems?

edit: DISREGARD THE ENTIRE THING ABOUT THE ANDROID VERSION. I just checked and realized I am on 2.3.3 after all - strange since I thought I had updated to 2.3.4. Sorry!!!
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Interesting. Can anyone confirm this?

[Xperia Play General] gctKAZ:
My sincere apologies, I honestly thought I was on 2.3.4, but it turns out I have been on 2.3.3 all this time. I must have gotten myself confused with updating another device. Sorry to get everybody's hopes up, this was my mistake.

Pretty sure yifanlu is developing it since the 2.3.4 update to see if there is a work around.

It's been posted in the development section, that their based off our Epic Touch, however, the flash screen indicates different.

That's what i assumed as well. Only because of the flash screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justwonder:
It could base of Epic touch, when Samsung made ET kernel, maybe they didn't build it from scratch, but they based on Europe version, so the trace was there

Kernel is from epic touch source. They needed something from S2 to get it to boot, but kernel is still S2. For Bubby323 however the kernel was pulled directly off of a stock et4g.

[Defy General] el_cowboy:
I have the problem where if I leave my phone in one place for about 5-10 minutes I can't make a call. The phone has gone up to 6 hours without a problem while I did my daily business. I've taken hour long drives from one town to another without a problem.

Most folks have a problem where they can't get a signal or signal drop. My problem is the signal bars tell me i have a signal 3 to 4 bars. No matter what though i can't receive or make a call. Doesn't matter where I move the signal bars stay "stuck". Something jams up or whatever manages the phone signal crashes. Airplane mode doesn't have an effect, if i restart the phone it comes on with airplane mode activated.

I've install WajkIUI 1.9.16 with similiar results. I'm running Jboogies3 mod. It solved my reboot issue oddly enough so I've stuck to it. I'm a 2G area only. I use baseband swticher. Even without the baseband the signal gets stuck.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The sooner I get Mango the closer I am to knowing whether to dump this phone OS and "move" back to 6.5 with my HD2 or screw it all together and jump on the iPhone 5 bandwagon. My Focus already feels old next to my HD2 and I've only had it for 10 months. Apple and oranges I know.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Flashmaster591:
IMO - if you get an iPhone you will be like the rest of the white headphone droid army that apple have created. Again IMO iPhone users tend to have a low understanding of tech issues (eg my mum and nan now have them) they just want something trendy ! WP7 and mango rules so stick wth it
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
...that's not really a reason. Aside from "well I hate the popular brand".

To the OP: give some more info on what you're looking for. And how on -EARTH- could you ever even begin to think of going back to 6.5??? Ugly, slow, laggy, freezy, ugly. Yes it was functional (sorta - most programs locked up or just wouldn't work), but man. It loses to every other OS in every single category. My LG dumbphone from 2007 was easier to use than my Omnia II.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Not sure why you'd jump to an iPhone if WP doesn't do it for you feature wise. If you truly need WM type OS, Android is your daddy.

To me, the UI & integration in WP blows the iPhone (and all the others) out of the water. Its all whether you are a 'power' user or not. WP won't have that many features until Apollo most likely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Why is the decision for you so hard to make. You already know what Mango has to offer. So why are you coming to us crying about WP7. Sounds like your mind is already made up on getting an iphone, so go get it and quit *****in

Yup the op was just trolling.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:

EDIT To Add: It serves me no logical purpose just to leave because I got rid of a phone becaue I go through multiple smartphones a year and I'm quite platform agnostic, so I never know when I'll get another one. It serves my best interest to be on the up and up with all the info as well as still give my feedback and suggestions IRT the platform - or any platform I've used and feel there is a chance I may use again in the future.

But you're free to continue trolling me! I'm not so quick to bite these days, unfortunately :<

Perhaps it's a reflection of the average age here...ah, forget it.

Been using Skype on Windows Mobile for a long time and despite the fact that MS now owns Skype, I see no evidence of it being included in this release. Brutal! They purchased Skype in May!

It's a phone and I got to press multiple buttons to make a f***ing phone call, but just two to take a picture! Lame.

Everyone has their preferences and priorities. It is unfair to call out someone just because our preferences don't match. Personally I have used Symbian, WinMo 6.5, Android, and now I am using WP7. I can see where OP is coming from as I too, sometimes, miss some of the WM6.5 features. But the reliability and polish of WP7 has changed my perception. I do not have to reset my phone (hard or soft) once every few days anymore and features, although limited, just work. I used to call out Iphone users when I was with WM6.5 or Android. But after using WP7 I don't anymore. Reason: Phone needs a polished UI and reliability (OS wise, I am not discussing at&t issues). WP7 and iOS (and WebOS) are the only ones that do it right.

To summarize, OP... go ahead and try all the options. mobile OS is way more dynamic, it is our loss if we don't take advantage of it and try them all... and in case, like me, you realize WP7 is the way to go.. you are welcome back!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
So wait, you hate everything about it... but still posted a thread asking this?

I'm the first to defend someone's right to say a negative thing about wp7 (cause I sure have), and this platform is missing a lot which gets on my nerves too, but this sounds like trolllllllllllllllllllllllllllin' to me.

[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
The point is that this is another one of those "everything about wp7 is crap" posts. It is unhelpful because it is vanishingly unlikely that Microsoft will do an about turn and make WP7 like WM6.5 or (God forbid) like android. I think it is great when people post useful suggestions for WP7 (particularly when they also post them on MS boards) or when people come up with stuff that helps us get the best out of our phones, but I have had it with the WP7 is crap stuff, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GET A DIFFERENT PHONE AND LET THOSE WHO ARE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT TALK ABOUT IT IN PEACE.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I think the saddest thing is the way you people try to make it look like everyone wants to make WP7 into WM6.5. No one wants that. They just want it to be competitive with Android and iOS so that they can feel like there is more value in the platform.

Right now, it's hard to feel that way.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
I switched from an iPhone to a Focus 10 months ago. I felt the launch release was a little rough, but NoDo fixed a lot of stuff. Mango, on the other hand, has made the focus AMAZING. I've been on the RTM since the day after it released. I'll tell you this much: I will NEVER go back to iOS. It's stale, archaic and pales in comparison to 7.5. It's not even a competition :)

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

This list is pretty ridiculous. First, they just bought Skype in May, which means it's VERY likely that Mango was already feature complete by then. Adding Skype would have delayed Mango, and that's not smart. More than likely there will be a Skype APP, since WP7.5 supports front facing cameras (and pretty much all the new devices have them). No doubt Skype support will be added in WP 7.75 or 8. Relax.

The audio player is not ****ty--it blows away the iPhone's player, and I should know--I spent 2+ years with an iPhone, evangelizing it.

The video player is also not ****ty--it does its job just fine.

With regards to SD, your SD card becomes integrated with the total storage of the device. It's not a separate item any longer. Deal with it. You sure as hell won't improve that situation with ANY iDevice. At least on some WP7 devices you have the option to add storage.

You don't have to push multiple buttons to make a call with 7.5. You long press the windows button or single press the button on your bluetooth device, tell it who you want to call (or speak out the specific # you want to dial if it's not in your contacts) and bam--it happens.

As far as apps go, you've got a device with a marketplace less than a year old. It's the fastest growing market there is, it already has most of the big name apps. Your Onkyo app is a NICHE app, and no doubt it'll wind up on both Android and WP7. One app is no reason to damn a whole OS.

As for the tiles: cartoony? NO. The Live Tiles are the single best innovation in smartphone UI design, pretty much EVER. That's become all the more clear now that Mango apps have started to roll out. I've got a WP7.5 screen that's ALIVE with tiles, each giving me information without any need to launch a single app. If I want to pursue that data more deeply, it's just a click away. Nobody else has that--ANYWHERE--and they're not going to.

Metro UI, my friend, is *brilliant*. If you can't see that, then you're stuck in a past littered with ugly little icons that tell you almost nothing. What a sad place to be.
