[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
The I897 and I896 are, as far as I am aware, virtually identical. I'll try to find a stock partition file for Gingerbread I896/7. I just flashed the device with the stock 2.3.4 file found in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232703 but I'm guessing you might be right about having frigged up the partitions. Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Well, I'm boned. I flashed the PIT file and then the device wouldn't even power on. So I finally frigged my way into download mode again and now I'm trying to apply the Odin One-Click program with the Master Wipe. Any other suggestions would be grand.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
And now, it seems that Odin One-Click is hanging at the Set PIT file... command. It's been at least 10 minutes. This phone is still capable of download mode, I must be able to restore it!

Dammit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Right click the Odin and run as administrator first then connect in download mode. Be sure to hook up your usb end to the back of the computer or if laptop- to the first port. And you may need to reboot your computer just cause.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
^ What he said. DO NOT try restoring partitions with a package with bootloaders, reduce risk to hard brick
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Any attempt to get into recovery or download now has left me with

RST_STAT = 0x1

PWIC = 0x3c

...

etc. I'm sure this is a screen that is not a good sign.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
What about pulling battery and then trying to get into download mode.

If that does not work, then u need a Jig.

Don't worry, I have seen that screen or one similar on my phone as well. But a jig got me into download.

Will ur phone power on at all ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Well, six lines of red hex status codes. This can't be good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
At this point I can't seem to get it to do anything but the six lines of code. That seems to pop up with the typical recovery combo. I don't have a jig, not exactly sure what that is but at this point I'm looking for any suggestions to get me into Download mode. Pull battery, sim, leave them in, whatever might help. This is the most boned I've ever been with an Android phone and unfortunately I need to rely on your experiences in the matter because I am not ready to give up on this phone. It's still a challenge and I love that, but this is also my primary mode of communication and I am the primary contact for my band.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Odin One-Click just seems to hang now...It's now sitting at File Analysis. I am happy that Download Mode is still available, but I'm really unsure of what to do. I'm on a laptop, Dell StudioXPS laptop with Vista 32-bit, I ran ODIN3Excution v1.00 as administrator but I'm still getting nothing. I also moved the cable to the USB port closest to me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
True but those $30-$40 + shipping can reach close to $100 on my end, dont know for someone in Canada.

Do you have spare cable? Wich ODIN 1 click you using ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Yeah, I have a spare cable. I don't think there is anything wrong with the cable, I think my tinkering has progressively made the situation worse. :) I am not going to spend money on this, there IS a process I can follow I'm sure. I HAVE Download mode capability, and a working computer. The Odin One-Click I'm using is showing Odin2Excution v1.00 in the title bar.

What did I do? **** up the partition table? So the bootloader doesn't know where to find the ROM? How can I undo this mess simply?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
What I find most ironic is that I've successfully flashed kernels and roms to the phone, but the minute that I go and try to change the boot image, I friggin' brick the phone. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Go to dev section on one of the stikies and download Cezar's bootloaderless JF6 and give it a go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Use this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249

Ignore the FuguRoot stuff. Just select the BIG "DOWNLOAD LINK" phrase. It's stock kf1 and it comes with pit and all that u need. This isn't a one click odin. Extract what u download and Run Odin, place the "Code.tar" in the PDA slot, "MODEM.tar" in Modem slot, and "CSC.tar" in the CSC slot, place the .pit file in the PIT slot. Connect in download and Start.

edit: Sorry prbassplayer, did not mean to conflict what u posted. I guess at this stage he can try both. :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
OK I am downloading that. Should I expect it to re-write all the proper partitions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Program-wise, it seems like everything is just hanging. Perhaps Vista is the problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
Sorry, I mean all the Odin one-clicks are hanging on me. The phone says it's in Download Mode, but I generally need to unplug then replug the USB to get these programs to say "Added!" then I click Start and they hang.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
You always need to run Odin first, then connect the phone.

Did u reboot ur computer ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Run ODIN as Admin then put your phone in DL mode and connect. That should do the trick.

4-2ndtwin Don't worry about it, Only reason I said Cezar's JF6 is because it doesn't include the bootloaders and IF odin messes up more there is no chance for a hardbrick, though I know chances of ODIN messing up bootloaders is low.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
I closed Odin, left the phone in download mode, unplugged it, plugged it in again, then ran ODIN One-Click as administrator, and now it's hanging again at Setup Connection...

And prior to this I had rebooted, then ran Task Manager and closed all Kies related programs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Come on now... U have got to run Odin 1st.

Or by "ran" do u mean u hit Start ?

If all else fails, then u r gonna have to try something other than a "one-click Odin".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
I'm sorry, there has been a disconnect between your responses (and others) and what I see, even after refreshing the page. I just found this response about the I897UCKF1 download and I am trying that. I will post results. I did the Fugu root originally when I rooted my phone the first time. It's been a real learning lesson and pain that I messed up so much trying to replace the initial boot image.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
No prob. Maybe the KF1 being a 3 file set up instead of a one click will do it for ya.

And the Bootloaders are included in that KF1 firmware, but if you know how u can open the Code...tar file and delete them, if u don't want to flash the i897 ginger bootloaders again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
The file is almost finished. And yes, by "ran" I mean I also clicked "Start". :) I'm savvy enough to work through these fixes, I'm just inexperienced in messing up the structure of my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Cool...and no offense meant by any instructions given by me. Just want to cover all the bases just in case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
So now you know your phone dislikes 1 clicks lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
It worked. Thanks 4-2twin and prbassplayer! I now have a stock phone. It was the I897UCFI1-Odin-1-Click download that worked for me. I also DIDN'T run it as administrator... not sure what that seemed to work. Oh phone, how I missed thee...

Directly from that page:

4G technologies such fas mobile WiMAX, HSPA+, and first-release Long term evolution (LTE) have been on the market since 2006 [2] , 2008 [3] , and 2009 [4][5][6] respectively.

IMT-Advanced compliant versions of LTE and WiMAX are under development and called "LTE Advanced" and "WirelessMAN-Advanced" respectively. ITU has decided that LTE Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced should be accorded the official designation of IMT-Advanced. On December 6, 2010, ITU recognized that current versions of LTE, WiMax and other evolved 3G technologies that do not fulfill "IMT-Advanced" requirements could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced and "a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed."

You should speak, the writings in front of you and you still are claiming it false. If you had a clue about the 'true' definition of 4G you'd know that LTE currently in deployment never met the ITU's original standards either as 'real' LTE was supposed to have 1Gbps speeds.

[Off-topic] TJBunch1228:
Using the pre-definition change standard, no current mobile technology meets the requirement to be considered 4G since none of them are yet able to reach theoretical speeds of 100mb/down. But the fact remains that since LTE, HSPA+ and WiMax will at one point be able to reach and surpass these speeds, they can legally be classified as 4G. To plug your ears with your fingers and say "la la la" does not make it any less so. Even if you think it's a load of bull, ITU has classified these technologies as 4G.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ozioso:
Hallo xda-developers users,

I have an Inspire 4G already rooted and ENG S-OFFed.

I'm trying to connect my device with the QPST tool because I'd like to view/modify NV parameters, but the device isn't recognized by the software.

My computer runs Windows 7 64 bit.

These are the steps I followed:

- install htc sync drivers and software;

- power on the device while holding volume+ key (this is what I think should put the device in diag mode);

- connect the device to USB port on the computer.

After doing that, I get a new device named "qualcomm cdma technologies msm", but Windows can't load its appropriate driver.

I found on another thread that I should install "windows mobile device center" and so I did, but nothing changed.

I've already searched various forums and installed several drivers, but couldn't come to a solution; can anyone point me to a tutorial explaining how to work with QPST with the Inspire 4G?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers.

Fist of, I'm not a native english speaker, so don't be too hard on me =)

OMGB is the little brother of OMFGB, which we already have a port of for our hero. OMGB is almost identical to AOSP. This isn't a port though, I compiled it directly for our heroes to gain any possible performance boosts.

I wanted the ROM to be minimal so I only included market form gapps, you can download the rest from market if you want it, or just flash a gapps zip.

I included Flykernel-13. If you want to change the frequencies, just download the kernel and install it the usual way.

Bugs:

You tell me!

Thanks to:

Erasmux for the kernel.

LoxK for the Hero vendor tree.

The OMGB team for sources.

Rdejager for the DPI changer idea.

Download:

HerOMGB 1.3.1 http://www.mediafire.com/?4t23elpw38sfx4l

Mods:

I've made DPI changers, so that you can change DPI without using ADB.

140 http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/58516d37_140.zip

160 http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/efc84a8c_160.zip

Changelog:

HerOMGB 1.3.1 http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/f4fdd518_HerOMGB-1.3.1.zip

Fixed network location.

HerOMGB 1.3 http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/db5f56e0_HerOMGB-1.3.zip

Added some tweaks. The biggest difference is that I disabled surface dithering. I believe that is why the "Decked" rom is so much snappier than Cyanogenmod. It makes the screen rendering a bit uglier, but I believe it's worth it since it's barely noticeable and it gives us a great increase of speed. It should also be a little bit less power hungry, even though it already were very good!

HerOMGB 1.2.2 http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/a0d57f79_HerOMGB-1.2.2.zip

Added the "Accounts & Sync Settings" menu.

HerOMGB 1.2.1 http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman02/c95afba0_HerOMGB-1.2.1.zip

Minor update. Data roaming is now off by default.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stritfajt:
How to compile OMGB on your own.

This guide will teach you how too compile android yourself under linux.

First, set up a linux build environment as described on http://source.android.com/

Now we have to download the source code:

mkdir ~/android #This will be our work directory from now on.
cd ~/android
repo init -u git://github.com/OMGB/manifest.git # Initialize the repo.
repo sync #Sync the files. This is going to take a long time the first time you do it.

Since OMGB doesn't officially support hero, we'll have to download our own vendor tree:

cd ~/android/device/htc/ #Go into the device directory.
git clone git://github.com/stritfajt/android_device_htc_hero.git -b gingerbread hero #Download my vendor tree for Hero GSM.
cd hero
chmod +x setup-makefiles.sh #Make script runable.
./extract-files.sh #Get drivers from phone. make sure the phone is plugged in via USB.

Now we're going to see if our new vendor is found!

cd ~/android/
source build/envsetup.sh
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch

Our hero should now come up in the lunch menu. Choose it.

Now, for our build to work, we'll have to use a prelink map for the HeroC. If we don't, the kernel will fail to load some modules which means that the Camera won't work for example.

vim vendor/htc/hero/device_hero-vendor.mk #You can use your favourite editor, I like vim.

Add

TARGET_PRELINKER_MAP=$(TOP)/vendor/omgb/prelink-linux-arm-heroc.map

Below

DEVICE_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS := vendor/htc/hero/overlay

Now you should be ready to compile it:

make bacon

Or if you wan't to make use of multiple threads:

make -j16 bacon
