i tried the heimdall a little while ago. and for some reason i got red flags at the bottom. was still able to run the phone, root and everything. but when i tried to do the cwm install it would kinda hiccup. and the when i went to re-install packages it said files were broken and wouldn't give me the orange cwm. did the odin and it came out fine. anyone know where i went wrong?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Hey everyone. I tried the one click and all was successful, except the modem.

It rebooted and now I'm stuck in boot screen. I don't know what to do.

It said to flash bootloaders if it fails, however I don't know if that's the right thing to do because I've heard its very very potentially dangerous and can result in a hard-brick. I don't want to do anything that can hard-brick unless it's a last resort. =\ Any help please?

EDIT: Looks like it failed on step 3 of 6 on uploading the MODEM.

Should I tick flash bootloaders?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Mulivalea:
heimdall didn't work for me either. gave me a bunch of red flags. you might want to just odin. I had to use that myself. ayoteddy has a thread for odin. just search odin sidekick 4g in search box. can't miss it.

issue

I'm having an issue, could be becuase I'm running Fedora...will be switching back to a kde base (probably pclos). I'ts saying Heimdall is out of date and it's not detecting my sk4g.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
Get the gksudo package. Also try redownloading. Let me know what happened. "Unknown status" is a failover mode which I cannot account for... otherwise it would be an error message of some sort.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mjsell2:
Adam,

Sorry I wasted your time when I should have checked the .jar package myself before posting. The heimdall linux packages are packaged in .deb and fedora natively runs .rpm and .yum paqckages. Just had to install .deb package handler.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AdamOutler:
Oh.. its not a waste of time. Im sure a ton of people are in a frantic panic when they use Heimdall one-click. Can you give me the name of the package installer? Just dpkg on your system or is there something else? I can notify to install that or build from source.

Heimdall can flash modems. Most the time when a flash fails like this, it could be:

a bad cable

using the front-panel usb ports (try the ones in the back of the computer that are soldered onto the motherboard, or a different port)

On windows or mac, having the kies or odin compatible drivers installed. Uninstall them, reboot, and try again.

If all else fails, try a different computer

So, if my phone is unlocked, if I do this, it will be locked again?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
No, the OneClick does not touch the efs partition that contains the IMEI and other private phone data.

It would be wise to install the android sdk and use: adb shell

to do the following (obviously running adb shell before doing the following):

cd /efs
tar cf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar *

This way if anything in the future screws up your efs directory (I.E.: you have no IMEI or your IMEI says "Unknown"), then you can restore by doing the following:

cd /efs
tar xf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
I'm looking to get some assistance with a Sense ROM development question. I am a big fan of ca1ne's Sense 1.0 ROM modifications, mainly:

Quick Settings Notification: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266626

-and-

Advanced Power Menu: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1314428

I've been working on a Sense 1.0 (stock) -based ROM and am trying to incorporate these mods directly into the build. So far I have only attempted the Quick Settings mod, but since I have not been successful, I have not moved forward yet with the other. Whenever I try to add the Quick Settings mod into the ROM, I lose the statusbar all together. I know that other devs have incorporated quick settings mods into their ROMs (Swagged Out comes to mind, IIRC), so I know that it is possible, but I have been unsuccessful.

Could anyone who has done this give me an idea of what I might be doing wrong? I've tried everything I can think of, from adding the SystemUI.apk directly to the ROM, pre-cook, to building a ROM from a NANDroid backup with the mod already installed. Each way it is the same result: no status bar. Same thing that happens if you don't allow the ROM to boot once before flashing the update.zip.

Kinda stumped! Thanks!

*bump*
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
I suggest pm'ing a dev about your question so you can get a direct response from them. Plus, they might be able to help you further into the development of your ROM. Just a suggestion
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
Not sure what your issue is. What is your starting base? A ruu or a compiled ota?

Here is a collection of EVO mods. click here

All of these came from my Rom, EVO classic. You should be able to cook any mod into a Rom. When testing, you need to perform fill wipes.

Also, are you using dsixda's kitchen to build zip?

Are you certain the apk you're testing works?

Do you know how to use apktool?

Which operating system do you work on?

These are just some general questions and troubleshooting technique.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
I tried a couple different starting bases. First I tried a RUU for 4.53.651.1 as pc36img.zip. Second a nandroid dump of 4.54.651 unrooted/modded installed via RUU and OTA on fresh SD card. Lastly, figuring I was messing up the base somehow, I used NinjaWolf's Rooted Stock 4.53.651.1.

I have been performing 3x cache, 3x dalvik and 1x userdata/factory reset wipes from recovery prior to each flash. Thing is that the rom that i end up with before trying to implement ca1ne's quick settings mod all flash properly and load perfectly. No issues at all. It's only after I try to combine the quick settings mod into any zip to flash that the issue arises. That being said, whenever I flash the mod over the custom rom, it works flawlessly. Just can't figure out how to get it cooked into the flashable zip.

Yes, I am using dsixda's kitchen for compiling the zips. I am still pretty new making roms, so I've not dived too far into the commands behind the scripts contained within.

To be honest, I've only used apktool a couple times. Mainly to decompile the stock SystemUI.apk and the one in ca1ne's zip, to diff. I would not say that I am fluent in it's use, by any means.

My primary machine is a Linux Mint Debian Edition box, with a Windows 7 Ultimate partition that I use for gaming and any time I need Windows (revonutionary.io, for example). Secondary is MacBook Pro (work machine), running 10.6, setup with dsixda's kitchen as per the tutorial. I work in IT/IS, so I am more than comfortable with each OS, I just prefer Linux/UNIX. I am also not a stranger to various programming and shell scripting languages, but I am not a master developer.

Hope that explains a bit more. Thanks, tommytomatoe, for your time. I really appreciate it! :) Also, I will take a look at your mods collection as soon as I get to my rig.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
If you're using the ruu or pc36img you ate playing with odex. Ca1ne's uploaded systemui is deodex. That could explain the lack.of status bar.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
Yeah, I saw that was one of the requirements, but I always deodex /system/framework and /system/app on my personal builds so that the .apks can be modded or themed, should I desire to do so. When using the RUU and pc36img, I let it boot, do the OTA updates, then sync a test google account and update apps through the market. After that is done, I boot into recovery (after flashing it back with fastboot... thank you HTC) and do a nandroid backup to use as a pure stock base. Once I have the system.img and boot.img I take it to the kitchen to root, deodex, etc..

I am wondering, though, why the effect is the same if you extract the SystemUI.apk manually and drop it into the ROM as it does if you immediatly flash the quick settings zip directly after a fresh rom flash, without allowing the rom to boot up completely first. I can see a minor coorelation, but if I can figure out whatever dependancy I am missing, then I know I should be able to get it to work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
Why use the nandroid images? Just use the pc36img.zip :-)

If the file itself gives you that issue then I would recommend duplicating that mod on your own systemui. There are always traces of signature and permissions issues using a different file than your own, unless you know how to disable signature verification.

I don't ever recommend creating roms from nandroid image. Just stick with the pc36img :-)

Lastly. And I truly wish this rumor was never created. Odex can be themed, modded, and customized just like deodex :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
Not clear on how exactly to apply the OTA patches to the pc36img without going the route I have been taking. Although, I really don't think there was much to this latest OTA security update that actually benefits the user anyway, so I might just stick with the 4.53 base for now. At least until I figure out this quick settings stuff.

I'll decompile the two apks and diff them to see if I can duplicate the mod, as you suggest.

You know I kinda thought that it was odd that people said that, as there have been themes since early ADP1 days. Guess I figured it was just something to chalk up to changes across OS versions. So is deodex just easier to theme/mod, since the dex file is recompiled into the apk? One less piece, so to speak?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
Look here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320660

Pull those files from the 4.54 ota. Use the pc36img from latest available, 4.53. In kitchen, select the pc36img.zip as your working rom. Then apply the changes as laid out in the thread I linked you. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
Seems simple enough. Thank you!. :)

I found this while looking for something else and gave it a shot hoping that it would, on the off chance work, but no love:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1290753 :(

I'm still digging into the original and modded SystemUI.apk files to see what I need to do to duplicate the quick settings. Also, I've been checking out your android-utility. Awesome work, man! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
I figured it out the issue.

I decompiled both the original and modded apk files, then used DiffMerge to diff the project folders for the apks. This brought up a list of files that had been modified, one of which was:

res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background_transparent.9.png

After merging changes in all of the .smali files, this file was the only one that remained to be modified but, since it is a binary png, I could not do so. The first time I tried to reconstruct the mod, I simply copied the modded .png file into the proper spot of my SystemUI.apk, then recompiled with original META-INF, signed it and dropped it into the ROM's working folder. Failure... :mad:

Second time around, I simply omitted the .png and tested. Worked perfectly!

tommytomatoe: Thanks a ton for all of your insight and advice (in this thread and others). It has really helped me out. Now that this little hurdle has been leaped, I can continue on with the ROM revisions! :D
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
My Verizon GT7 was working and charging great until sometime right after the 2.3.5 update...but now it's having some odd charging issues.

I am NOT using the original Samsung charger. That got lost almost a year ago.

But, I have (for two months) been using the charger from my TouchPad which is also 2A. For the ~9 months prior to that, I was using a 1A HTC charger. Both of these chargers worked perfectly fine (fully charging in about an hour or two...and charged overnight every night)....until the 2.3.5 update.

Now, it charges VERY slowly regardless of which charger (or computer) I use. The status always says discharging. And the (status) battery level is not in sync with the (notification bar) battery icon.

I just dont know if that is a very odd coincidence or not. Could the firmware REALLY have changed the charging requirements/functionality?

I did a factory reset. That didnt fix it and I still havent installed anything or even setup any accounts on it.

Plugging in to a computer - the charge indicator always shows.

Plugging in to 1A charger - the charge indicator sometimes shows.

Plugging in to 2A charger - the charge indicator never shows.

Yes, this is completely backwards from what you might think and both chargers still work perfectly with other devices.

But, it does charge at the same slow rate with all three - like 2-3% per hour. The status says discharging with all three. And the (notification bar) battery icon and numeric battery level status are still out of sync. The (notification bar) icon is usually about 20-30% higher.

I have the original Samsung cable as well as a third-party one and both function exactly the same.

Right now the (Status) battery level says 46% but the (notification bar) battery icon is clearly over 90%. One or more of those is obviously not right.

I really dont want to be w/o it for two weeks sending it to Samsung if it really is not a hardware issue.

This is, and always has been, a non-rooted stock Tab.

Also, the large battery icon (when the Tab is off and plugged in) seems to be more in sync with the (status) battery level. So, it's just the notification bar icon that doesnt match those two. After getting it to 100% on both, the notification bar icon stayed at "full" until the (status) battery level dropped below about 70%.

Anyone have any ideas and/or experience with this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] Ahhk:
Ok, as it turns out, 2.3.5 DOES change the charging requirements!

I went and spent $14 on a real Samsung charger and....its charges properly!

WTH.

Looks like what Samsung has been saying for a year now "that you must use the Samsung charger" was them being proactive until it was implemented in 2.3.5

For 10+ months, the other chargers worked perfectly fine. Now, only a Samsung charger does.
[Nook Color General] rnikec:
Right now i'm in shanghai so youtube is very hard to access and I haven't had time to do google searches since i've been busy and the internet here is very slow. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a quick opinion or information on how I should tackle my problem.

A week ago, I jammed my sd card in the wrong way. I managed to get it out by taking apart my NC, but the sd card reader fell out. Right now i'm in shanghai and it would be a pain in the ass to figure this out or at least have some chinese guy tinker with something he's never seen before. (No Barnes&Noble in China)

So no SD card means no downloading apps or even using my drop box for all that matters. Is it possible to switch to onboard memory? While in china I just use my nook for reading and Hanping chinese reader. So i'm not too worried, but I can't load my (use I torrent books, yes i'm a criminal) reads or PDF's, as well as download them off dropbox. Any help would be appreciated.
