The fascinate kernel built with nexus s kernel drivers for modem. I don't know if it works for them yet or not, but once I know, I can work on doing the same thing for the stratosphere since their kernel sources are somewhat close to yours in terms of the modem driver, whereas the epic, my phone, is closer to the nexus in that error, which could explain why the patch for it worked. I'll keep you guys posted.
[Android] Stonent:
"Our technology"... Means what.. Qualcomm's technology? The only real technology is a Hummingbird CPU, a few memory chips, and what a SuperAMOLED screen?
[Android] xboxfanj:
No company gives out ril source, not even google does completely. They give source for libril and bin/rild but not for libsec-ril or libsecril-client (both samsung proprietary files used for network connection used on nexus s and all other samsung android phones). Htc doesn't give source to libhtc_ril, motorola and lg don't give their source either. The only source code a manufacturer is required to give is the kernel source code since the kernel sources are under the gpl license which requires for source code to be given. Everything else is under the apache license, which means it is not necessary to give sources, so no manufacturer would want to give more sources than they need to and more than the other manufacturers, because if samsung gives their sources for everything, then htc and all the other manufacturers can look at them and steal their files which they use to "improve" android. Samsung doesn't want that so they only give out what is needed.

Android is a closed and open system since manufacturers and carriers are trying to keep it as closed as possible (preventing root, bootloader unlock, not giving sources) but yet google and aosp have most of their sources available so you can build it.

Also, it is very possible that there is some stuff in the ril sources that qualcomm (makers of our cdma modem (the hardware part not software)) would not want available because that gives their competitors the advantage of seeing how their modem works and could help them improve their own.

The whole lack of source is a competition issue from what I would guess.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just convince them to recompile them for us to work with 4.x and let us do the rest.
[Android] xboxfanj:
We can fix the touchscreen drivers. I think that should be all we need to make it ics compatible.
[Android] p_025:
Anything happening here yet? I've been checking back often and it looks like it died. I'm starting to feel like a sad panda. :(
[Android] xboxfanj:
Do you know if anyone ever made a device repo for the strat?
[Android] JDog2pt0:
Well, after several weeks I finally got a reply them. Still another dead end.
[Android] xboxfanj:
I'll work on this when I get a chance. Did anyone ever find a device repo on github? Or do I have to make my own from scratch?
[Android] JDog2pt0:
Well, I can't be of much help as I'm not a developer. I would assume there isn't one because of the relatively low following behind this phone, but what do I know.
[Android] p_025:
I don't know if anyone made a repo on github, and my experience is limited to using SVN on Google Code. You might ask the fellas over in #stratosphere on irc.andirc.net, the established Stratosphere developers tend to hang out there.

As for doing it when you get to it, I do hope that's not too far off in the distance. I'm getting very frustrated with Samsung when it comes to this phone. Not gonna rush you though, I have no right to demand anything here. All I can do is say "please" really nicely. ;)
[Android] itzdarockz:
I can probably port cm7 to this device if you need me to. I just need your arm version and cpu name. You can find them in the build.prop for the cpu it should be ro.product.board
[Android] xboxfanj:
V7 s5pc110 is board. Its exynos3 aka hummingbird. The problem is their ril apparently. I think we can probably port the charge's ril if they have working ril on cm.
[Android] p_025:
I can post the entire build.prop for you if you like. Unless, there's some kind of copyright nonsense it would violate.

ro.product.board=SCH-I405

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

Though, yes, the problem is the RIL. And CM7 is a bit oldschool, but I figure just about anything is better then TouchWiz.
[Android] itzdarockz:
Its actually board.platform sorry my bad! And yea if you can the whole build.prop would be good.
[Android] xboxfanj:
I assume you guys use zimage and not boot.img?
[Android] JDog2pt0:
I believe your assumptions are correct
[Android] p_025:
Sent by PM. Anything I can do to aid the development for this phone. ;)

As for boot.img, I honestly have no idea. What's it for?
[Android] xboxfanj:
Boot.img is for mtd partition map, zimage is for bml. I think I can let you guys use charge ril and modem assuming your hardware for cdma and lte is the same. I did on the epic for nexus s 4g ril and modem.
[Android] itzdarockz:
Do you guys have a custom recovery?
[Android] xboxfanj:
Yeah they do at rootzwiki.
[Android] p_025:
Yes, we have a (slightly customized) ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7, thanks to KnightCrusader on Rootzwiki. Thread. Rootzwiki has been pretty good to us, XDA didn't bother to make a Stratosphere forum.

Small note about that build.prop. it's actually the one from the Tweaked ROM. Shouldn't be an issue though, all the hardware related stuff should still be the same.
[Android] xboxfanj:
Unfortunately not even the Charge has working RIL. Are there any similar devices to the Stratosphere which have working RIL? LTE/CDMA if possible, but definitely the same hardware modem is needed.
[Android] p_025:
The Stratosphere has just had an OTA update. Here's a link to the update.zip: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5271399/8de2927289d7.update_SCH-I405_EI2_to_FF1f.zip

From what I hear, it updates lte_modem but not cp_modem.

As far as similar LTE hardware to the Stratosphere, the best bet is to probably look at any Samsung Verizon LTE phone. I think there's only four at the moment...
[Android] diver265:
How do I apply the update on a non rooted phone? Not receiving the ota update for some reason.
[Android] xboxfanj:
jt1134 crushed my hopes of using galaxy nexus modem and ril unfortunately. I guess we'll have to hack framework. Would you guys want a cm7 build even though data won't work?
[Android] thebamafan:
Anybody tried the FF1 update with a rooted and ROM'd phone? I have the latest Tweaked ROM and kernel and I wonder if I need to be worried about doing it.

Something else that I noticed that was interesting is that even though I am rooted and have a custom ROM, I am getting the update notification on my phone. For some reason I thought that I wouldn't get the notification again after I had put a custom ROM on the phone.

Oh. I also wanted to ask if anybody knows where to find a downloaded OTA update?

Thanks.

[Android] whodisname:
Hey folks. This is my primary phone now. I'm using dwitherells tweaked 2.2 at 1400 Oc. Runns great. No proplems at all. All tweaktool scripts running. Is it worth it to revert to stock get the update at this time? Looks like my setup is the best right now for this phone. Tweaked 2.2 is flawless so far. I been looking for **** too!! Low battery vga castlevania.many cheats till I died then back here and the Mal volume with dsp manager and a paid music player that never skipped once since and I just posted to test it. Nice... real nice.!!
[Android] thebamafan:
Welp... I tried to let the update install, but it hung in the middle. Pulled the battery and everything was fine. I also tried installing the above zip file with CWM, but it failed as well. So I know that while I am using Tweaked 2.2 and the Tweaked kernel that the update will not work. However, before I went "custom" I actually had installed the update. It was nice, but I still think Tweaked 2.2 is better.

Now does anybody know what the OTA update is checking to determine if you are at 2.3.5 or 2.3.6? Is it in the build.prop? I'd like to make the change myself, so I stop getting the update requests.

Thanks.

i also had that tweaked release on my gf's strat. She HATES the new update (and i can't say i blame her). Super sensitive lock screen, no scrolling wallpaper, data won't stop going, etc etc.

I'm working on rolling it back to the previous version and not get the update anymore, I have a few things to try yet, so i'll let you guys know.

Did you guys flash the update stop .zip it works for tweaked 2.2 and it stops asking you to update...

I flashed it on my wife's strat running tweaked 2.2

I used dwitherells ff1 modem update. Works great. Kept tweakstock. Hate the update notifications but I just deal with it. No signal bars but everything works great. Haven't used wifi but the wireless tethering is just fine.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Anybody have am ota kill for this? I used something (I forget what) was a zip file that changed my build prop. Phone sound stopped working. Can I manually change the build prop and just edit it to say I have ff1 and 2.3.6? I work like 80 hours a week now and can't test so much anymore.

I don't need instructions, I just want to know if that would be all I needed to do or if I would need to modify other files. Seems like I might would have to.
[Android] acejavelin:
There is an UpdateStop.Zip on RootzWiki in Dwitherell's Tweaked 2.2 ROM thread, around page 71 I believe, just flash it in CWM Recovery and it tricks the updater into thinking it's already at FF1, and no more update prompt!

about the Sam SCH-I405

I would love to send you a mem dump but problem is I tried to do a clockwork mod recovery and Damned ODIN crashed in the middle of it. Havent been able to reboot my phone since ! Off course it is the 4G LTE Verizon Samsung Galaxy S Stratosphere. Not only is it in a class all alone but doesnt conform to any of the other galaxy S models. This is so retarded and typical of Samsung. Their own Techs are clueless. Makes you wonder how they even got the job there in the first place... Anyway... Odin Hard Bricked my phone and its now in the big sleep of death...

The only that lights up is the keyboard when I hold the power button down. I am really frustrated and am losing alot of money because my customers cant reach me. Samsung wont lift a finger. ( didnt expect them to help). I am hoping you might have some advice for me...

I would try the Hummingbird Unbricking prog. but knowing my luck it will just be worse and Kill it completely....

Please Help me out.

I will donate or write you some software or both....:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Can you help?

I know this is super old, and I don't know what's the same....but I'm pretty sure my partitions like these got messed up...at first it was E: /system couldn't mount and then some other like sd-ext so i tried to partition that, and I think i got myself in more of a hole....now all i can get into is CWM, and all my backups aren't recognized. And I can't find any software links that work to help me flash a kernel and ROM that work...I was using Tweakstock v1 for kernel and Tweaked2.2 for ROM which was sick, but all that stuff happened. I was trying to open an emulator or something and change bootanimation and it kept freezing and shutting down, then eventually it wouldn't boot. Now nothing.....any links or downloads or steps anyone knows???

Hello,

if i enter my pin when i boot up my phone, it was just rebooting after connecting to the network.

I installed serveral ROM´s it was overall the same problem.

My specs:

BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.80.007

MICROP-0622

had same problem when i flashed the new CM7.

I did a complete format.

any option in CWM that let me wipe / format i did it.

after doing this phone booted strait into CWM (no rom to load)

then just reinstall the rom as normal.

Only problem i have now is that i cant get it to download MMS's
[Nexus S General] nauckwj:
Damnit.. My company required encryption of the data on my Nexus S when I was testing ICS Beta with Email / Exchange.

Went ahead and encrypted the device.

Then, I wanted to install ICS Combo Beta 11, so I formatted /system /data /boot and tried to install from /sdcard/*.zip.

No luck.

Clockworkmod recovery cannot mount /sdcard anymore.

Wanted to try and format it, but the clockworkmod tries to mount it first, before formatting :(

HELP!

I'm stuck with only recovery now and no way to get the update package installed :(

Is there a way to install from zip via the command line?

:mad:
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
You should be able to use fastboot to load the rom on your device. I haven't tried it this way before but it should work:

fastboot update rom.zip [-w if you want to erase data too]

Give it a spin.

The SDCard not being able to be mounted has been covered a few times but I can't recall the proper fix by heart - search around and you'll definitely get some results that can help you with that.

[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
Sounds like it's busted.
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
Can you still enable USB Mass Storage in recovery? Try reformat the SD from your desktop?
[Nexus S General] nauckwj:
Thought about that, but what filesystem? :) FAT32?
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
Sure :)

Greetz
[Nexus S General] dr911:
I had the same problem with one of the first ICS betas.

Formatting to FAT32 on my Mac was not enough, I had also to reformat under Android. Hope, you backed up your data ;)
[Nexus S General] nauckwj:
Definately backed up.. :D

This was a real scare.. I couldn't mount or format from clockworkmodrecovery. All I had was the adb shell and the builtin /sbin commands.

LUCKILY I found this article;

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...mmcblk0++mkfs++ext2__fromsearch__1#entry56396

It didn't exactly match what I was experiencing, but the key was the parted program.

Using it, I was able to reformat my media (partition 3) and am now able to repush things to it.

Stupid sdcard encryption..

Reinstalling ICS Beta 11 now :)

Blood pressure slowly decreasing.. damn that was a nightmare :)
[Nexus S General] nauckwj:
So some lessons learned;

DON'T try to partition your SDCARD from clockworkmod or Windows or Mac. The USB storage presented to your computer is a single partiton from you mmcblk0 sd storage. If you partition it, you've got a partition inside a partition which will only make sense to your windows/mac system. Inside of Android, the partition is essentially corrupted and it won't mount.

Formatting from Windows only makes it appear to be working.. in reality you've created a second partition and it's corrupted from the Android point of view.

parted is the only way to fix it. from parted do mkfs type fat32 partiton 3 (media) that will reformat the partition correctly and give you access from Android and external USB hosts.
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
That's weird...

People have been able to format the SD as ext4 on a desktop using Ubuntu for example. I don't understand how that is different to mkfs.ext4 vs mkfs.vfat. I mean why am I confined to formatting on the phone itself? I'm really confused now.

On a side note. What you experienced is totally expected if you think about it carefully. It's like you have just lost the key to open your SD content by wiping the phone, of course it can no longer be mounted. But I'm not sure why it cannot be simply formatted in CWM.
[Nexus S General] dr911:
That means, I should check my SD Card, which I formatted under OSX with Disk Utility?

Maybe I'll do it next time I flash a new ROM, because for now it works fine.

Yeah, I had a similar situation a few weeks after I got my beloved NS ;) when I tried Whispercore. The hole NS got encrypted and formatting the system partition in CWM didn't work, but what I read it was luckily due to a problem with the CWM version. Flashing a newer Version of CWM solved the problem. First I was dying!

So, when I encrypted with ICS and got this problem I calmed down much faster :)
[Nexus S General] nauckwj:
My problem was I used the Windows fdisk partitioning utility to repartition my /sdcard partition. That was part of the problem. I did also read how some people were repartitioning the /sdcard partition, which is kind of weird. I can understand why someone might want to reformat it as an ext4 filesystem, but why would you want to partition a partition?

The /sdcard partition is actually the third partition on your mmcblk0 device. If you partition it, most utilities will fail to recognize it as a valid media device anymore, because they expect to be able to read the filesystem data structures when they mount it. These won't exist if a partition table is sitting at the beginning of the blocks.

I couldn't reformat from within CWM because it first tries to mount the partition. if it fails to mount, CWM won't reformat it. Only way to reformat it was with parted, unless you have a working system installation.

Last night I was also able to reformat it from within ICS. Had to do a full factory-wipe from within ICS, then it indicated the sdcard was no longer valid and asked me if I wanted to reformat it. Once I said yes, all was back to normal.

Fun fun :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nietzschean:
Hello everyone,

A while ago (right at the launch of the S2, total coincidence) I made the transition from a "regular" cell phone to a so-called smartphone.

I took a look at the S2 and liked what I saw, but read absolutely horrible things about the battery (i.e. not being able to get through a day with it). To me, that's not an option as that means I can't rely on it and thereby defeats the purpose of a mobile phone for me.

So I looked elsewhere and got me a Motorla Defy (installed Cyanogenmod 7.1 on it). I'm happy with this phone as the battery usage is okay to me; during the week it easily lasts a whole day to 36 hours with plenty of room to spare (not going to claim a consistent 48 hours, but it could get there every now and then). It gets these easy 36 hours with the following usage pattern:

- Internet connection is always on (it switches automaticly between wifi and mobile internet depening on availability)

- a few widgets (stock quotes) are always on and refresh about once every 5 minutes

- e-mails refresh about every 5 or 10 minutes, not sure, I'd have to check

- usually facebook app is on as well in the background so I get notices when somebody sends me a message

- regular texting during the day

- a few calls every now and then, usually only a few minutes a day

- reading the news online with the browser, not constantly but checking every now and then

- general browser usage while looking for adresses or random info etc

- little to no gaming

A few days ago somebody told me that the battery problems with the S2 had lessened due to new Android updates and such. As my brother needs a new phone I was thinking on giving him mine and getting an S2 myself, if battery quality is any good.

So basicly, my questions:

1) can I expect the same battery durability of the S2 as from my Defy now that the problems are supposed to be fixed

2) can I also put Cyanogenmod on it (as I'm used to this and like it) without any battery problems

Any information or feedback in this regard is much appreciated, thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nietzschean:
No thoughts on this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Battery use is very hard to gauge because the phone doesn't do exactly the same every day. In essence, estimates on battery life are like MPG ratings for cars: different styles and circumstances dictate usage.

Having said that, the less the screen is on, the greater the battery life, in general. If you are not happy with battery life, there is an official 2Ah battery which should yield around 20-30% extra usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrabcx:
I don't think SGS2 had any real big battery problems, or at least my set has never had big issues. Pretty much the same battery capacity since I first got mine and now with the newer firmware versions.

At the end of the end it all depends on how heavy you use your phone, how strong WIFI/3G/2G signals you obtain, running apps/widgets etc. Sure, the battery life is not great on SGS2 but it's also no worse than other mobiles with similar screen sizes.

I'm sure you can manage 24h with your usage, if not then you can always later buy the higher capacity battery which Samsung have released. It's slightly thicker but barely noticeable.

Hello,

could somebody recommend me a good Android phone with a decent battery and eventually a good support concerning custom ROM on xda?

I plan to buy one for my wife -she currently has a customized HTC HD2 with Android (NAND), but due to bad battery life and some reliability problems (FCs, drop of data connection, etc.) she wish for herself a "stock Android" phone. I intend to buy her this phone as a Christmas present, so it should fulfill as much as possible the baterry and reliability requirements (the requirement of good custom ROM support is just "nice to have").

Thank you very much in advance for any advice / recommendation.
