[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
From the looks of your getvar values, you currently have S-OFF at this point, too, so modifying the android-info.txt file inside a PG32IMG.zip file will definitely allow you to flash a RUU even though your modelid is PG3212***
[HTC Incredible S] talal_zaki:
Dear Sir I ca not flash RUU, I have the same problem always (modelid)...

:(:(
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You need to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU and then you can edit the android-info.txt file in the ROM.zip and add modelid = PG3212*** to the this file.

Then copy the ROM.zip file to your sd card and name it PG32IMG.zip. That will allow you to flash the via the bootloader.
[HTC Incredible S] talal_zaki:
Can I Format the Phone to change its model ID??

The Model ID still the same, 3212*** i want to change it to 3213*** Please help coz all of these steps wont work, I asked the shop who repaired my Incredible S and he said that he made a permanant S-OFF with XTC Clip....
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It is good that you are S-OFF with XTC Clip, however, you cannot change the modelid on the phone.

You need to modify the android-info.txt file in the PG32IMG.zip file on the SD card to allow it to flash on your PG3212000. That is how you are going to get the rom reflashed.
[HTC Incredible S] talal_zaki:
I changed the model ID from PG3212*** to PG3213*** and installed a RUU rom but it stills not taking updates (any ideas)

Im gonna be honest and say I dident read every post you made in this thread... My head almost exploded after first page (its late where I am) ;)

[HTC Incredible S] talal_zaki:
I called htc support they told me that my IMEI shows that my phone is from Italy but my serial number shows that my phone is from Norway and it's different from the one showed on the original box of the phone... Is this a reason tobmake my phone refuse updates?

Does anyone know of a Root method for the Samsung galaxy W running Android 2.3.6? I have previously used DoomLords Root Tool when i was running 2.3.5 and it worked like a charm. But after unrooting to do a firmware update it no longer works.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
Hi guys,

I wanna thank Bakabon19 for his hard work.

If any one wants Facebook 2.0 + xperia app [By Bakabon19 ] on their gingerbread rom then Try this trick.

I tried this on GingerCruzt, GingerXperia, Stornmix, Xgin, GingerDX, kuyadroid, linuxperia, Froyopro, Froyobread etc

1) download Facebook 2.0 + xperia app [By Bakabon19 ] from his thread.

Thread is....HERE......

2) Now give him a big thank.

3) then via PC/Laptop right click on downloaded zip

4) And select explore

5) Inside zip, now go to system folder

6) and delete build.prop

7) after that goto framework folder

8) delete framework-res.apk

9) copy remaining zip to sdcard

10) flash zip via CWM recovery and reboot.

11) Now using Root Explorer go to /system/apps

12) scroll down and select Sony Ericsson Facebook.apk and install it.

Now you have done it.

Note:

Incase if you found no Timescape widget in widget menu then

1) download attachment

2) And via root explorer go to /system/apps

3) paste attachment widget there

4) select permissions like this

5) Reboot.

6) Enjoy...http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Bravia4X8:
Wow,

I am using Stornmix And before your trick my phone was soft bricked while installing that.

But now its perfect & timescape works for me via attachment widget.

Thanks man.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Hummer951:
Anyone try it on GingerDX v21?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
Yes, I tried this also in GDX v21.

This works. But for this you need to edit build.prop.

May be I will edit and attach it.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Xmaster8:
would this work on FroyoPro v2.3?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Bravia4X8:
Working on froyopro vALL. I tried this.

@KASHYAP9 your trick of deleting files and timescape widget working almost all

ROMS. Thanks dude.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Xmaster8:
it doesnt show me timescape! :( it is in widgets in menu but when i tap on it it doesnt show on screen :/ anyone help?

i m using GingerDX v22
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
Have you flashed the zip from Bakabon's thread or not. ?

If widget is there in widget menu and nothing happend if you tap on it then I am sure you have not Flashed the zip.

Just Flash it for working timescape and Facebook inside Xperia v2.0
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Xmaster8:
i done everything. deleted build.prop and framework-res.apk and flash zip. but widget don t want to appear on my homescreen :(
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
Problem is due to build.prop.

Add these lines in build.prop

# Timescape Mode
ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia
#ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_PLAY

To add these lines

1. open ROOT EXPLORER.

2. mount /system/bin/

3. there you will find build.prop

4. long tap on it and select "open in text editor"

5. And type above lines at the end.

That's it.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Xmaster8:
i did that but just doesn t want to work :/

well work or not i m going back to nAa miniCM7 and his kernel he updated both :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
As you Wish...Good luck.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fundre:
I'm getting the same like Xmaster8. And that line (middle one) is already in my build.prop.

Any other possible solution?

My contacts and phone are getting screen cut off also. Maybe because of framework? How to fix?

Edit: widget solved by taking apk from zip and install manually.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Killjoy2012:
can anyone tell me what this is for, what it does, and how to install on CM7?

[HTC Wildfire S] abhishiv:
Hey guys

like some other people here, i tried the unofficial cm7 mod yesterday. But wasn't satisfied so i reverted back to the stock rom(used this one - RUU_Marvel_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.3_Radio_47.10_.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188906_signed.exe)

However now i have android 2.3, and when i go to "Software Updates", it simply tells me that there are "no updates available for the phone". I am trying to get the update for 2.3.5, which add a lot of performance improvements.

Any ideas why do FOTA aren't working? Is it because i used htcdev.com, or because I used the HTC_Asia ROM while I should have used HTC_India one?

PS: It was my first time trying CM, and I found that I missed "Sense" too much. CM is great mod otherwise.
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Why you went back to stock ROM ?

If you didn't like CM7, you could try some other ROM, there are few good ones.
[HTC Wildfire S] pat da punk:
Did you do a nand backup first? FOTA. IS lost as soon as you do Htcdev it says so on the disclaimer
[HTC Wildfire S] abhishiv:
Didn't do a NAND backup, unfortunately.

Do you guys think there's a way i can lock the phone again. And if that would enabled FOTA again.

I saw some roms that work on 2.3.5, and I am not worried about warranty or something. Just curious, and would like to have the orignal back with 2.3.5 :)
[HTC Wildfire S] 181charan:
I am in a similar situation... N BTW Indian ROM is NOT the same as the Asian one! I searched git days but couldn't find the Indian ROM!

Dude do you think it will be fine to flash the nand backup of someone else's phone on mine?? O.o

PS just a thought I haven't unlocked bootloader yet, but have flashed a European Rom n hope this won't void warrenty?
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
Related question: at what point are FOTA updates blocked, when you update the HBOOT (it says *** LOCKED (OOW) ***) or after you've finished the process at the htcdev website and actually achieved unlock?
[HTC Wildfire S] mehdi_mh:
whenever you installed HBOOT (however you dont unlock your bootloader) you can not get FOTA anymore!
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
But, with my presently unlocked bootloader, I can load any ROM I want so who cares, right? :D
[HTC Wildfire S] abhishiv:
yeah, i know the indian RUE is different from asian one. However i can't find the indian one anywhere. I don't think it's a significant difference though.

Anyway, is there a way I can revert to the stock hboot?

The 2.3.5 FOTA was so great; I regret not making a backup.
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
can't you just download the 2.3.5 RUU and extract the ROM.zip....that's how i got back to it. there's a tut somewhere on here for how to upgrade an s-on gsm phone to 2.3.5.....download that file and within it somewhere is ROM.zip.
[HTC Wildfire S] 181charan:
Listen just a thought what if you used some other Indian guy's nandroid backup and restored it through CMW? O.o

U would get back the official Indian ROM ryt? :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] pink401k:
Hey guys. Sorry to be so helpless, but I currently need help changing up my phone. I have the Motorola Atrix (obviously) and it's currently running Gingerblur. It's rooted as well.

What I want to do is update my phone to a newer rom/kernel/ whatever. I would normally read the multiple guides available, but unfortunately, that isn't really an option for me right now. I recently was diagnosed with a concussion and it has greatly affected my language abilities. So, I'd really appreciate if someone could help me through the process.

Really, a recommendation for a ROM, how I would go about changing from Gingerblur to the new rom, and everything else would be so appreciated. Thanks for the help guys.

(PS. How's the iPhone-look-alike rom? Seems pretty neat. Thought I might to play around with that one. Thanks again guys.)
[Atrix 4G General] schwann:

Get iBlur if you love it. Unlock your bootloader. Install a custom recovery. Wipe. Install. Boot.
[Atrix 4G General] pink401k:
I'm sorry. I should have been more specific. It's understanding a lot of material and retaining it that is the problem mostly. And getting words out is hard as well.

Ok, I need a little help. I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0.1(ICS 4.0.3) on my HTC Sensation (T-mobile USA). I was using this tutorial:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. After I got S-Off to work I began to flash CWD. I made the mistake of copying the wrong PG58IMG.zip file over. Instead of CWD it was the updated ICS firmware. Now I'm stuck with HBOOT 1.23.0000, no CWD, no root. Where should I go from here? Should I try to fix the HBOOT or try to flash CWM another way. Do I need to use ADB? Here is a pic of what I'm working with.
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
if you s-off you should be able flash the 1.17 eng hboot and go to any rom and flash anything from fastboot,
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You could try to get hboot 1.17 HERE back on your phone.

Then try to finish the s-off process.

:)
[HTC Sensation] macdru:
so how would I get HBOOT 1.17.0000 back on my phone since I get an error every time I try to flash it through a PG58IMG.zip file? Any links to tutorials I missed?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Place the 1.17 PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd card using a card reader.

Make sure you do a MD5 checksum of the zip(google it)

Power down the phone,or remove the battery.

Power on holding down volume - and power button.

Let the update go through.

When it finishes,go back in to ROM and delete the PG58IMG.zip.

If you cannot get into ROM,remove the card and use card reader in PC.

You should then be able to carry on "Revolutionary".

:)
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
Ooo you should be s-off still even after your did IMG.zip

if you completed the s-off before the you flashed the ICS then your s-off should still be there it wont show but its there, if you can try then IMG.zip that has the hboot 1.17
[HTC Sensation] macdru:
I did that. I'm not that much a noob. That is the problem I was asking in the first place. I cannot update that way. It says "Update Fail" on the screen. Also, the phone is S-OFF, didn't even flash the rom yet. Thanks for your help so far.
[HTC Sensation] ilostchild:
Ok I see the picture cause its saying incorrect phone model there is a pdimg.zip that will put your cid to 11111 once that done you should be able to.use and pdimg.zip
[HTC Sensation] macdru:
Ok, so where would I find that?
[HTC Sensation] macdru:
Ok, I had to use HTC dev tools to unlock bootloader, then use adb tools to ensure cid was 11111111. Then flashed bootloader back to 1.17.0000. Thanks for the guidance. Was more rewarding to figure somethings out instead of being guided through every step.
[HTC Sensation] Gödel:
It is not mentioned in the firmware topic, but it seems important to do SuperCID before flashing the new firmware in case of problems. I've seen this problem elsewhere on this forum.

But it's nice to know that there is still a solution even if you do not have SuperCID.
[HTC Sensation] crazystudent:
Hi mate,

how did you get S-OFF on HBOOT 1.23.0000 ???? I'M S-On and can't do anything. Can you help?

I searched before asking this question without any luck. I have downloaded the valhalla ROM on my Galaxy s 4g and noticed i no longer have swype and can't use multiscreen live wallpaper. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
If you want Swype you have 2 options. You can either download Swype Beta (from Swype website) or you could take Swype from the Octane ROM.

I personally use the stock Swype from Octane. To get it you need to download Octane.

1) From Octane ROM, copy /system/lib/libSwypeCore.3.25.91.32328.so

2) Copy it to your /system/lib in Valhalla

3) From Octane ROM, copy /system/app/Swype.apk

4) Copy it to /system/app in Valhalla

Do 3&4 for SwypeTip-release.apk
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KotsChopShop:
here's the Stock Swype from 236

unrar, place the files on your mSD, then push the 2 apk's to your system>apps folder, and push the .so file to your system>lib folder and reboot = viola ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
Personally I prefer the beta version. Seems much faster and more responsive to me. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
That's been my take on it as well... and the DNS speech to text generally works better as well than the stock Google one in older versions of Swype.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HB66:
+1 for beta version
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Beta all the way!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hondatech44:
thanks for this thread I was sad when I lost swype. but now i have it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
You know, at first I tried stock swype from a previous ROM, didn't work, however I can see that I forgot to copy the .so file. I couldn't use swype as I got a force close every time I tried to activate it or use it.

Anyway, I deleted the apk from apps and proceeded to download swype from website. I did, and installed correctly, however, after that, I just got fc like I had with the above method. so.. what's the deal? Maybe it has something to do with permissions?

edit: it was indeed a "fix permission" that was needed. Everything is working OK now.

I am looking into starting out in developing Android Apps and modding the Source OS itself. I have had a little search round on here but given the fact it seems impossible to force the search to use the exact search its bringing up hundreds of non-sense results (had to use google to find the modded Google Currents apk on this site).

Anyway what I am interested to know is what environment dev's are using and is it possible to do it all in a Windows OS or is this not a good idea?

Any help very much appreciated with getting good setup from the start and all opinions welcome.

Generally the development forums are reserved for sharing your work with others. ROMs, kernels, scripts, etc.

If you're familiar with Linux it's usually easiest to do everything from there, however I do a lot of my work while booted in to Win7 and run Ubuntu through Virtual Box. I'm set up to dualboot with linux mint, but I'm so used to windows that it's usually more convenient. Cygwin is also a very helpful tool to use if you are using windows.

The Android Development & Hacking and Chef Central forums are also good places to look for information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamesmcuk:
I understand and hope I can do a bit of sharing in the future . What IDE are you using if you don't mind me asking?
