THAT WORKED YOU ROCK :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Now can I ask why only engineering ROM's are working and will I be able to get it to MANGO?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonerules:
So as soon as I plugged it in Zune found the phone and upgraded all the upgrades all the way to mango :)

Thank you once again. Do you know what the latest GSM firmware is?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neibl:
I have similar problem except mine is stuck on the samsung logo screen so cannot connect to zune.

I am trying to flash this engineering ROM that seemed to work for you, but it keeps saying Error!! "This Device does NOT match with selected binary. Downloader will NOT do anything" and thus the flash will nto complete.

Any suggestions?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonerules:
Have you tried the retail roms (check the general forum there is a sticky with the retail roms) if you getting the error "This device does not match with the selected binary" with the flasher it could be one of two things:

1. Your device is not an engineering device and you need to use the right retail rom.

2. Which version of the WP7 Downloader tool are you using 7.05, 7.21 or 7.41?

For the retail ROM you should use 7.05

For the engineering ROM you should use 7.41.

7.41 comes with the new leaked Samsung OMNIA 7 ROM (Do a search for that rom) DO NOT FLASH (like I did :eek:) the OMNIA ROM onto your focus it will not work.

The other question is if your phone is stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen can you get it into DOWNLOAD mode (Turn the phone off, then hold CAM + VOL DOWN and POWER) It should then turn on and go into DOWNLOAD MODE. The WP7 tool will only see the phone is in DOWNLOAD MODE. From what you telling us with the error above you are getting into DOWNLOAD MODE but just confirm.

IMO if you can still get into DOWNLOAD MODE not all is lost.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neibl:
I already have flashed the omnia ROM onto my phone that is why I am in this problem. I have reflashed the focus ROm but it is frozen on the logo screen no matter what I do.

Seems like this engineering ROM fixed it for the lad who created this post, so I might give it a try, what do you think?

Yes I can get the phone into download mode & also the format mode (it doesn't do anything though), I cannot connect the phone to zune because it freezes on the logo screen before launch. Also I have 7.03, 7.05, & 7.21 and have tried all of them thus far, did not know of the 7.41.

So 7.41 and flash the engineering rom? It sounds like you have some ideas, please share it would be greatly apreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonerules:
Ok so you need to download the latest Samsung Omnia 7 ROM it will have the WP7 Downloader 4.21. Thats the only one that will flash the engineering ROM onto the device.

Zune will not pick up the phone till it completely boots so Zune wont help you in this case. You have to try and fix it using your WP7 downloader(s).

This is the link I used to get the Downloader: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011/10/15/update-your-samsung-omnia-7-to-the-latest-i8700xxki3-firmware-now/

Good luck!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neibl:
Engineering ROM did not work, still frozen on samsung logo screen, something is definitely broken on the phone that will not let it get past this point and I have no idea. Seems like no one else knows either as no one has been able to solve this for over 7 months.

If anyone thinks they can solve this please suggestions are welcomed. If you need more details please let me know. If someone can fix this I'd be willing to paypal them real cash no joke.

Much thanks to myphonerules for helping!

If I call samsung and complain will they tell me i'm out of luck? I got the phone off ebay so its not covered by anything.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonerules:
You sure you don't have a DEMO phone? Has it ever worked on a GSM network?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neibl:
No its not a demo phone, i used the phone with my AT&T SIM card for few days. Then i put in a 32mb microsd card and after 24 hours it reset into a gimped mode with only 15 mb where i couldn't do anything and had no at&t apps on it strangly also. I flashed the samsung omnia 7 ROM onto the phone and would not load past the omnia 7 load screen. Then I flashed the focus ROM (it wasn't available originally) back and it would not load past the samsung screen. By this point I really just think the phone is completely done.

Any suggestions? or think its garbage?

I'm debating buying a focus with broken screen off ebay and using the screen from this one to replace it and bam pretty much new phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalextremes:
Is there a way to get a convert a non retail focus to retail? Is there a retail ROM available for the focus that can be flashed on the non retail version?

If your going to install ROM you don't need to root it
[Vibrant General] fear676:
What do you mean you don't need root to install a rom?
[Vibrant General] Xenoism:
The easiest from my experience is z4root.
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
This. Grab the update.zip from the noob guide and boot into default recovery and reinstall packages twice and it will install clockwork and you can flash whatever rom you want
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
If you're on stock 2.2, this doesn't work, yet everyone seems to spread this method like it's the end all be all.

You need to have either modified 3e, or 2e recovery for it to work. Easiest is to Odin to jfd, then use the update.zip method.
[Vibrant General] lllll Nova lllll:
This has been the easiest method for me...
[Vibrant General] fear676:
This method worked for me:

Odin back to 2.1 eclair

Then get root with z4root mod.

Then install CWM from rom manager
[Vibrant General] EmoEskimo:
I also used the noob guide to root which involved using the update.zip file. It involves using Odin to get back to stock 2.1, and then using the update.zip to install Clockwork recovery mod. From there you need to flash a rooted ROM to get root privileges. The method is very reliable in my opinion. The "Noob Guide" is excellent for starting to learn things like root and many others. Its in the Q and A section of the vibrant forum. Good luck!

So I bought this Quantum off of eBay for my wife and fixed it up with a new battery & new digitizer. I pop my sim card in, which works perfectly in my Quantum, and nothing. It just sits there with "Searching..." then changes to "No Network Found".

I've looked at every setting in the MFG and nothing doing. I've even set the network profile to ATT_US_310_410_ENG.xml and it still doesn't work. The IMEI appears to be clean too.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm trying not to lose my wife to the iPhone!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRomie:
I have heard mixed things on this subject, I haven't wiped my data after updating to KI3 and there are little to no issues (I have gotten about two force closes since it came out).

I also heard that if I root I lose my data, is that correct?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
If you aren't facing any problem then don't but otherwise do a Full Wipe. Before doing than make Backup with Titanium.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRomie:
So if I experience any issues, then root, back up and then wipe? I haven't rooted yet and the only use I will get from it is backing up. But that is useful thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cangir:
i don't think so just make a backup !!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRomie:
I'm not quite sure what you mean.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
IF you don't experience any problems don't wipe, you're alright already. Now, if you have problems, wipe your data, but then you'll have to reflash. You don't wipe after flashing, you must do it before flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRomie:
Oh I did not know that. I haven't encountered an issue yet, does it happen very often?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
Well, when flashing from a very different firmware to another things might not work well, and the problem is you on't know what's causing the problem. At least I always do a full wipe since I backup all my apps with titanium backup pro so set my phone again takes me little time. Try your phone for a couple of days and just wipe if you need to, if not keep enjoying it as it is.

I gave my phone to my bro he activated it then swapped it out at sprint if I call in for a replacement will his new esn get flagged? Or the previous esn that I gave him
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
This is fraud. Sprint WILL find out just give them a few weeks. Esn WILL get flagged and they will charge you full price on your account. Also, fraud shall not be discussed on xda :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Haha, smooth. :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] kwazytazz:
dont know how you gave your phone to your brother and him activating it, since for him to do that you would have to activate another phone on your account to release that ESN so that he can activate it, and then if you want to claim insurance, the insurance would cover that new phone that is activated on your account.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Sweet, lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] OniKyanAE86:
You are asking for a bunch of trouble doing what you are thinking of doing. Its fraud, not to mention that the device will be charged to your account at full retail price! I have experienced a few customers that tried this before. Don't recommend it.

Since this thread is talking about insurance I hope the OP doesn't mind me asking...

My wife's photon woke up in a puddle of baby shampoo.. We have no idea how it tipped over and spilled. But the damage is done. The speaker phone sounds awful and there's a question mark in the battery icon. If I take it to sprint will my insurance cover it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Considered liquid damage so no, insurance will but 100 deductible
[Motorola Photon 4G] kwazytazz:
either rip the sticker off, or get a new battery then take it in, they might not check for liquid damage so if the battery seems fine, they'll just run some BS diagnostic tests on it and so on.

So don't waste my time going to store? Call insurance for a claim?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
I was actually wondering about this last night.. great news! I kind of assumed they would, but I'm more curious about the timing.

Is there any evidence that the Bionic is getting it after the RAZR? I know that kind of makes sense considering they very clearly stated that the RAZR is getting it and I'd imagine a lot of buyers are getting it under that assumption, but it would be kind of cool if the same or a close release date.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.garrett:
You all do realize that between the vendors and the providers, those projections rarely mean anything, right? It'll also be interesting to see how Verizon deals with an OS that will allow you to remove bloatware without even having root privileges.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
How do you know the tbolt is getting it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Gtech145:
It really doesn't matter if Verizon approved ICS for the Bionic or not. By the time Razr receives the update the Devs will have everything need for a stable port to the Bionic. I don't think the Thunderbolt will get ICS since HTC is still working on it's successor "Vigor" will likely receive it first.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MarcMaiden:
Cool thing about this is that we know it runs well on TI SoC's so performance should be awesome whether it comes from CM or from an official update. I for one hope for CM!

I can't remember the time frame it took CM to get from froyo to gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I think if the bionic didn't get icecream sandwich, Motorola would have things to worry about, like a bunch of disgruntled customers who may never purchase another Motorola again. By the time we get it, Google may be announce Cheeseburger(joke name for next version )

I have gotten to the point in my project where I can actually see an end. I am sure there is a lot more left to do to wrap up my game, but I wanted to start thinking about the end game for this application(game).

Which brings me here, I was curious what tools/library's/methods indie dev's are using, and your reports on them. Hoping this section will help me decide what to include in my code, and help others too.

I've compiled a very short list. None of which has been tested personally by me. I will update with other people's great ideas. I am sure I have missed quite a few things,

Protecting your App

Obfuscate your code

Helps stop pirating to an extent, pretty easy to implement if articles are anything to go by.

Example:

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html

License Verification Library

Also helps stop pirating, lets you refund people and be reasonably assured they aren't still using the product.

Example:

http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/licensing.html (Android Licensing Library)

Secure Network communications

Needed if you are handling sensitive data in your app. Probably should be included anyways

Misc

Stat Tracking

Probably your number one way to get feedback from people actually using your app. Want to know if it was worth putting in a pause button that	took 3 weeks to code? Record how many people are using it!

Examples:

http://www.flurry.com/ (Flurry)

http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/ (Google Analytics)

SaveToSD

I have not looked into this yet, but if comments on apps/games are anything to go by, this is requested quite often.
[Android Software Development] BarryF:
Here's another:

Crash reporting

I wouldn't rely on Android Market for crash reports because tools like BugSense and ACRA do a much better job. Personally I use BugSense because I prefer the UI but supposedly ACRA collects more data. If I wasn't using it I would never have known my app was crashing on older HTC models because Android Market just doesn't include that kind of info.
[Android Software Development] Bygones:
I'm just starting to put these in my app, and BugSense seems almost too good to be true. I'm in the process of testing it now, should help a lot in the coming months. Thanks.

Until Froyo? Well that's not true. SetCPU works perfectly on Gingerbread and above (1.6 and up - it says on the market). It may just depend on your device but it should work for you. If it doesn't, then you can return it and get a refund. You could also try CPU Master.
