sbl*.img might be the boot loader. (secured/secondary boot loader???) but why in 3 separate chunks?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
More info: here

rcdata.img is text; it should be the configuration of the radio but if I check the content of the corresponding partition (mmcblk0p18) on my phone there is a lot of binary junk together with the small amount of text. The options are the same except for one (AGPSNVSetting) that is missing in the updated rcdata.img

# cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 | strings | tail -n 9
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
AGPSNVSetting=1
EnDTM=0
MSCMode=10
HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6
GEA3=0

I know probably the biggest request from the community is to figure out how to root the update; it seems that the Rev. team has been notified that the exploit they used before seems to have been patched in this update.

Also very profitable would probably be zips for the new kernel and radio, if possible. Early reports have indeed been of better battery life, and also higher quadrant scores.

Anyway, many thanks for this thread, and for looking at the update :)

Just a shot in the dark, but Yamato is refered to here:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Litesorrows:
There's a Pre Rooted Version of the OTA Update on Rootzwiki. I would imagine those on XDA would be rooted all ready. I understand trying to find a way to Root the OTA Update for those who had it before they could root. But wouldn't a simple Temp Root, then Downgrade work? That's what I had to do with my G2 and G1.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
the version on Rootzwiki isn't the newest update, the one that just came out 3 days ago. and the newest update has proven impervious even to temp-root so far. the only way to downgrade is if you were S-OFF before updating. there is a thread on this in the general section.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I had pulled the new google talk app and made it flashable on request, here's the link:

Gtalk update

There are a couple others if anyone wants them - deskclock, wifi calling, t-mo mall and carbon backup, netflix, and two logging utilities.

The rest is all small updates to a lot - what I wanted to look into first were the GPS updates to make sure my patch stays as current as possible.

You can either pull apart the package directly, or flash the update and do an adb pull to grab new stuff - backup guide in my sig tells you all about using the adb pull command.

Now that we know you can rewind the changes and get root back after the update, either should be fine. I've been going through the download zip, but haven't had much time at my workstation.

I have a couple emergency shifts to work, kept me offline yesterday & today, I'll check back on a break later and see if I have anything else to add.

Yamato is gpu proprietary files. U would use them in a compile against source code for the improvements. I would say kernel fixes would be the main thing if reports are better quadrant and battery life
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaytex24:
I flashed the t-mobile signed stock rom PP59IMG.zip through the bootloader then proceeded to download the OTA's. After that I placed the new recovery image in the appropriate place and rebooted bootloader to prepare pushing the recovery through fastboot. What I noticed is that even after installing the OTA in a unrooted totally stock rom, S-off remains, however where "revolutionary" once was written now displays "**Locked**" , so apparently HTC has managed to relock the bootloader even though it shows S-off. It's not totally locked, as I had to reflash the PP59IMG.zip to downgrade hboot again so that I could reuse the revolutionary tool to flash the 4.0.0.8 recovery, then install CWM to update the recovery. As long as "Locked" was sitting where "revolutionary" normally is, I found it impossible to use fastboot, so my guess is security remains off but fastboot is locked. Just my guess anyway.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sinfamy:
Two questions:

1. How do you flash this update? When I click the HTC Update, it gave me the ~5MB update, however not the ~40MB one. So is there a way to manually flash it?

2. Is there a way to doing so without loosing the recovery and root?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
You can download the update and run it manually. I can't remember if I renamed it update.zip and flashed it through stock recovery or used the bootloader.

If it was the bootloader, rename the downloaded zip to PG59IMG.zip, put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into the bootloader. The device's screen should prompt you with install instructions.

As for keeping root and recovery, no. As long as you are S-OFF *before* doing this, however, you can re-flash a custom recovery and re-root using these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433805
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Yeah, the update flashed nicely thru the stock recovery. I learned once you get to the recovery screen, you press volume up + power to get the options to show up.

If you use LastPass, you can make a master password and set sites to automagically log you in. This doesn't work on all sites, and some sites will fight LastPass over login protocols, so it's kind of a trial and error thing to get it to gel right with your online experience. Facebook for example works well. Bookmark the root site (Facebook.com) and set it to auto login. It just works. And it works in all the major browsers, even little ole Chrome.

I prefer Firefox... well, Pale Moon... well, Pale Moon Portable, haha. Same difference. :D Between Adblock Plus, NoScript, and Cookie Whitelist With Buttons (silly name, don't laugh, it does good) and a search box, Chrome just can't keep up. I've been fortunate enough to have avoided the memory leaks that Chrome users say made them switch, and Pale Moon is plenty fast enough for me. I could run Windows 2000 if all I cared about was speed. You start adding features, it slows down a hair, it's a fair trade.

Anyway, I've checked "Remember Me" when I log in, and it still likes to log me out after ~5 minutes of inactivity. Cookies are fine but I'm only accepting first-party cookies (i.e. from xda-developers.com while I'm here). NoScript is blocking a script from netshelter.net. It's allowing them from google-analytics.com, googleapis.com, and of course xda-developers.com.

Flashed CM 7 Kernel with the Sky Ice Cream ROM. Phone won't boot past the Samsung logo. How do I get into Recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
you flashed a CM7 kernel on a Touchwiz rom....

what did you expect to happen?

first of all, turn off the phone

secondly, go READ what the F you are doing. getting into recovery is basic knowledge and involves 3 fingers..... you need to figure out how to do the rest.

Wow rom manager i guess is dangerous

If people have an issue, and dont know how to get in to recovery. And your very brave flashing anything with out knowing how to get into recovery. Also cm7 kernel is for cm7. Be more careful in the futre or you will be bricked. You lucky this time. Also you may need to odin the stock tar at this point. But flashing a rom again after a data/cache wipe is worth a try. Also you should not nor should anyone be flashing anything. With out throughly reading and understanding what your about to do. It is also adviseable to have knowledge of the basics.

and as much as you say its not a support site. its a site for flashing, with flashing people are always going to run into problems, and always gonna need help. so no, it isnt a support site. but yes, it is a site where friendly people can help someone who's having a problem. instead of calling someone out for their mistake, why not help them fix it then direct them to tools so that they dont make the mistake again, we're all human. so maybe he just got his phone and was excited to flash? or was fustrated with his battery life, as he said in a previous post. and he looked up instructions and didnt understand. but this site not being "a support site", he couldnt get help, so he took it into his own hands. i would of done the same thing. just because you know how to do something doesnt mean you get to cuss someone else out for not knowing how.

Okay, I guess this is more of a request, really, but I was wondering if porting Beats Audio was possible? I've seen it be ported to other HTC devices but I was wondering if it can be done to the Nexus. I mean all it is is code isn't it?:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I was never fond of how Beats Audio would make the phone's audio quality better. Even phonedog says that Beats Audio is a gimmick,

Beats Audio is overpriced and there are far more superior companies who offer better quality such as Sennheiser. If anything I'm more excited for Voodoo Sound but I don't think thats possible because the GN doesn't use a Wolfson Audio chip. Voodoo Sound is simply amazing and the difference is significant. Supercurio (dev of Voodoo) has a GN and is working on porting Voodoo Sound to the NS, so we might see some things from supercurio for Voodoo-related tweaks.

Edit:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taethebest:
Agreed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dredhead4:
Well I ask because I have the Solo HD beats and I am super jealous that iPhone users and Rezound users can use the buttons that come on the cable. Though I have used voodoo sound on my Transformer and that is definitely a worthy consolation.

I just really like the ease of pressing the buttons instead of pulling out the phone from my pocket every time I want to do something, music-wise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what "Beats Audio" actually do, I know they make headphones but I'm not 100% sure what they do on the software side.

But from the looks of it, it looks like it just adds functionality to bind the "buttons" on your headphones to skip / pause / play songs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dredhead4:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the button functionality and a slight bass boost are the only things in beats audio but if someone could get this done and voodoo I will probably use my GNex for life lol :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WPThunder25:

just download Equalizer from Market. you can set your global EQ to be just as good/better as the 'Beats Enabled' EQ setting from the Rezound.

that and on the Rezound, Beats Audio only worked via the default Music app.

Hello,

I am about to get the G9 80 Turbo as the form factor appeals to me. However I am reluctant due to the 512mb RAM. The only experience I have with HC and memory usage is with the HC roms for gtablet and the memory his been a tad high edging towards 512mb .... I do have a number of background tasks running but nothing crazy.

Anyhow does anyone know if the 1.2ghz turbo still comes with only 512mb - archos isn't too forth coming with this info on the tech spec sheet

Also what are folks experiences wrt to memory usage on the 512mb G9 80... (I'm getting mixed reviews)

Thanks a lot, FredT
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterflygirl:
As far as I know, the turbo devices are still 512mb. I do experience some lag on my regular 80 at times, but a reboot generally fixes that. I am stock everything, so I haven't tried different launchers to see if that helps with lag. I love this tablet, just wish it had a bit more RAM.

G9 80 Turbo rocks?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fredplex:
...it does not rock

So I took the plunge and picked up the G9 80 Turbo (1.2ghz). In a nutshell it does not rock.

Archos, why oh why did you not go with 1gb RAM ?

I get it, the price point of this device was key, but I still feel that compromising on the RAM was a mistake and will cause a suboptimal user experience.

Frankly I worry how ICS is going to run on this.... hopefully ICS has optimized memory usage.

At this price I certainly have lowered expectations but the 512MB RAM and the screen ripple (which mine does have) is making me rethink this purchase.

The problem is that I really like the device's form factor and overall make-up, so I want this thing to be successful...

I use my tablet 3 hours a day but only have the basic android apps installed/running: facebook, RSS reader, tweekdeck, tvshow sched watcher and the standard android / google framework stuff... I even turned off the live wallpaper.

...and it still feels draggy overall and painful when switching from say tweetdeck to browser and then back, tweekdeck and/or the browser have to reload data and reset positions. Frustrating...

I now understand why Archos bundled the convenient System Monitor with the Kill All Apps button :(

Each time I check free memory it shows 50 - 60mb free, I'm going to poke around and see if I can figure out where the memory is going - maybe I can optimize this thing a bit.

Anyhow with all that said for the price I think I am going just keep it to hack around with android and as a GPS tether to phone...

...but I can not see using this as a daily driver.

Which is a big shame as I think Archos is on to something with this device.
