ICS? We may get ICS, but not now. They have to integrate blur and all of the other Motorola/AT&T "enhancements". Then AT&T has to sign off. Motorola couldn't push out vanilla ICS if they wanted to because of AT&T requirements that they differentiate from other phones, like all of the carriers. And they have to add all of the hardware specific drivers - fingerprint reader, cameras, GPS, Wi-Fi, etc. These are custom for each phone, not generic. Even the newest phones on the market don't have ICS yet, save one or two. If they can't put it on a brand new device yet, it will certainly take some time for a year old device. Development does not happen in three months. I will be patient. Or get a Galaxy S II HD.

Motorola has actually been pretty good about pushing out updates. My Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) just got its first Gingerbread release THREE WEEKS AGO!!!!!! I may buy a Samsung next, and I may not, but if I do, I will not be holding my breath for any quick OS updates. THREE WEEKS AGO!

BTW, if you want an almost vanilla OS with lightening fast updates, buy an ASUS. My Gen 1 Transformer has had a maintenance release/update every two months or so, and should get ICS by the end of the month. They add functionality as apps, and leave the OS pretty much alone, making it far easier to update/upgrade. First with ICS, first with the Tegra 3, very fast updates. Regular maintenance releases. Padfone anyone?

I've been advised to close this thread down as the testing has started. It won't be long before the update is publicly released. Until then, let's keep the soak testing stuff on the hush hush.

Even if you didn't sign the NDA, please be respectful of Motorola's testing process. The update will be public within one week.

Hi folks,

just wanted to flash cryberts 1.31 rom and got the issue of a boot loop in feamod recovery.

It doesn't care if i turn off the phone via power-button, if I choose reboot system now or if i pull out the battery - if i turn on the phone I always get into Feamod Recovery and the phone doens't boot into Android...

Any Ideas?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasemyass:
get the phone into download mode (volume down + menu + power) and try flash another rom using Odin (Cranium, broodROM for eg.) or try flash feamode recovery 1.2 (with ODIN) then try reflash crybert`s rom

anyway do a zip test before you use one to flash somethin` just to be sure you won`t get a bad zip ;)

hi,

i've found a quicker solution:

1. Just put this file on sdcard -> http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=861538&d=1326841043

(found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21527547&postcount=875)

2. load it via Feamod "install from sdcard"

3. reboot phone

4. done

If your phone is rooted, follow these steps -

1) Download root explorer or file manager app from market.

2) Open the app

3) Go to system/app

4) Delete the following files

swype.apk

thinkdroid.apk or thinkfree.apk if you dont use thinkfree office(something like that, i dont remember the exact name)

youtube.apk

fmradio.apk and fmradio.odex

voicesearch.apk

Apps disappearing from EXT4 partition

Hi everyone. Since I see that at least part of this thread seems to be talking about Link2SD, I wondered whether anyone might be able to offer some insight into the problem I am experiencing.

Before that however, let me explain that I started off with an 8GB micro SD card with a 500MB EXT4 partition. I had been fast running out of space in the internal phone memory, and my SD drive itself was also filling up fast. When I installed Link2SD I managed to regain a considerable amount of free space on the internal memory.

The problem is though that once I had linked the majority of my apps to the EXT4 partition and backed up the device in that condition with CWM, once I rebooted the system all the apps that were linked had disappeared. However there are still some 244MB of files on the EXT4 partition that Link2SD says are in use, and I cannot delete them.

I then purchased a 16GB micro SD card from Samsung, and tried to restore the CWM backup to that card....my apps were missing apart from the few that remained on the FAT32 partition and in the phone memory....I should mention that this also happened before I installed the CM7.1 ROM.

Now things have really become problematic. I decided to remove quite a few apps, then download the latest version of Link2SD from the apps Market. But although there is now plenty of space on all partitions I keep getting the 'insufficient storage available' message, and I cannot install anything. I also did a CWM restore on the original 8GB SD card with the same result. This is why I cannot lay the blame fully on Link2SD, as there has to be a glitch somewhere in my installation.

FreeSpace [Root] shows the following on the 8GB based system:

Cache free space 20.7MB

Data free 16.6MB

Ext free 265.0MB

SD-card free 959.1MB

System free 48.2MB

So what gives? I really don't understand what's going on. I am running the latest CM7.1-RC1 Cooper-Grif ROM build number GWK74, with Kernel version 2.6.35.7-CL-562111 ketut@ketut-lenovo#1 with all updates necessary. This is costing me more time than I can afford to lose on this, and I really need to find a solution once and for all, preferable without having to reinstall everything again from scratch, which is what I intend doing once the official Cyanogen Mod becomes available finally.

Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long post.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popopz:
I got some problems doing this. This is what I did:

I had many apps installed and moved to SD (8gb class 4), so I made a backup of the SD content.

I formatted it, and created 2 partitions (6.8gb and 515mb) using Minitool Partition Wizard. Both are primary and FAT32 (if I create the 2nd partition as EXT2 the phone says SD is damaged).

Moved my backup content again to the 6.8gb partition and rebooted the phone.

Looks like everything is right but Link2SD says "second partition not found".

What IM doing wrong?

Would Link2SD detect that 2nd partition if I flash my phone and I start installing apps now that my SD has 2 partitions?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobotomy:
IMHO from what I've experience, Link2sd does not accept fat partitions. I had the same problem.

Are you looking for the correct type of partition?

Start Link2sd>menu>More>recreate mount scripts and choose FAT32/FAT16

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Thanks julle!

But seems to me that you don't understand the problem.

Here are the steps from blefish:

1 Download update-B518-bootloader.zip from MediaFire.

2 Save it to the root of your SD Card.

3 Start the phone in recovery mode (recommended recovery is 5.5.0.4)

4 Select "install zip from sdcard"

5 Select "chooze zip from sdcard"

6 Select the zip you downloaded before.

7 Select yes.

I am already STUCKED in step 3. Because i do not get to RECOVERY MODE!!!

I am having only PINK screen (VOL +, VOL -, power button) and BLUE screen (VOL +, power button). That's it!

And CANNOT access to internal card on Windows neither on Linux Ubuntu. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Guess Huawei officials has USB drivers to access internal card on Windows or Linux but they don't share them with us :(

I have android_winusb.inf driver but cannot install it and recognize device in pink or blue screen mode :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
I got the blue screen when I accidently forgot to put boot.img back in its place on the image partition.

My hypothesis is, based on that, the first UPDATE.APP (the smaller one) changes the partition layout (which would delete all the files), while the larger UPDATE_G.APP starts installing all the files: /system but - more importantly - the image partition where boot.img, AMSS.mbn and recovery.img are stored. If the update did not take, then they won't be there and the bootloader can't start them up. In my case, I was able to mount the image partition in Linux and put the boot.img back. Hopefully I'm talking out of my ass. :\

Ah! I was able to mount the partition in Linux because I'm using the B512 bootloader; you must have the B540 bootloader (or whatever is its equivalent for the U8800). I guess Huawei's laissez faire attitude towards rooting (you could browse / from the computer!) is going away now that they're moving into the big time (deals with AT&T, the Honor etc.). I don't know how you can downgrade if you can't boot to something like recovery. :(

Actually, these work: http://www.mediafire.com/?j33yo9wy9bspm86

But you can't ADB from the bootloader (or use them to mount a partition); it's for running Qualcomm QPST (though I couldn't figure out how to get it working).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Sorry, but im running out of ideas. It seems you have bootloader locked, and without recovery we cant unlock it... what happens if you install official 2.2 and after error try to install it again? We must get the bootloader unlocked.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
You are making me laugh :))

I cannot install NOTHING!!! :) That's the main problem :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
You are right!

So the device should be bricked now? I cannot give back to warranty 'cause i already did it once :) If i send also this one they will laugh at me and of course they will not give me another phone :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
But after i installed those drivers you've attached i am getting no more exclamation mark in Device manager. hmmm. Please look at attached pic. What now?

Is there a chance to getting to device through hyperterm or something?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Actually, I haven't tried HyperTerminal on the COM ports/modem - maybe it could, somehow, let you do something? Changing the USB mode would be great...

If you do figure out QPST, you'll need the firmware in a form it can understand - maybe you'd have to get another device to dump its firmware...

Regarding warranty: Couldn't you make the case that it was an official firmware update that caused your phone to brick? :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
I am bad in english, so it might be the problem cant express my self right. I know it fails, but run it again after the fail. I am hoping it unlocks bootloader. Then you can access the phones whole memory from ubuntu.

Someone, if you understand this sh*t im writing, please translate it to real english:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Okay. Im out of ideas then... Hopefully someone rose can help. The last resort(and the most stupid) Take it to other shop from the same company you bought it from :D. I used that trick to get my other android phone to warranty! You cant fix it, so propably they cant either :-P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Although you can't see this now, when you enter #*#2846579#*#* in Android and look through the service menu, you get the option to put the phone into different modes - Google mode being the norm, with mass storage, while manufacture mode brings up the same ports and modems you're seeing now. I can't believe that Huawei would entirely would take out such a useful feature so I think maybe there is an AT command or QPST or DFS CDMA Tool would be able to put the mode back. But this is me daydreaming - I can't say such a feature exists for sure, only that QPST would run while your phone is registering like this with your computer :)

Oh :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
That's very very interesting. They locked the bootloader, but they added support for QPST... I need to search more on this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:

I got QPST function in download mode, but that mode does not allow uploading data. I'd need to get it working when Android works as "diag" mode, so we could upload the data from the phone and then download it to yours.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
The best I got QPST to do in download mode was to print draw a rather creepy "OK" to the pink screen when pressing Reset Phone. It's a shame Huawei removed the ability to boot into fastboot mode from cold boot (when compared to their Ascend) even from the unlocked bootloader (capacitive buttons are funny when trying to figure out if there's any hidden key sequences) since it would've been possible to just send a recovery kernel and initrd and boot that directly.

Regarding diag mode: best of luck to you. You need to have a password to "open the Qualcomm background mode". In its closed state, manufacture mode will expose the DBAdapter COM port but will refuse to answer any AT commands etc. sent to it. People with the Ascend have been able to get the SPC from their MEID/ESN (the IMEI CDMA equivalent) which allows them open the port. People with IMEIs of <null> have been able to enter "0"/"0000" to get it to open. Unlock code generators I found for Huawei phones (well, modems, really) didn't produce a working set of unlock and flash codes; it seems like Huawei have undoubtedly changed their algorithm from the modem days. There's dodgy-looking services that, for a fee, will give you an unlock code - but it's more likely the flash code would be needed. And, of course, this is assuming that I'm right, that the password is based on the IMEI.

The project menu sends a message to (I think) a hardware component which is exposed through the socket /data/rapi_socket. There's a daemon in /system/bin (its name eludes me right now but it will undoubtedly link to /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so and liboem_rapi.so or libhwrpc.so) that creates this socket and is probably a conduit between a Qualcomm hardware component and services on the phone. If you look through https://github.com/Victor-android/android_device_huawei_u8800pro/compare/master...gingerbread, you can find a function definition for huawei_oem_rapi_streaming_function, the rapi_socket wrapper and some examples of its use. Since I'm not a programmer and my IDA disassembly "skills" only take me as far as being able to recognize function names, I gave up. I assume that whatever is being talked to is the thing that is checking to see if you've entered a correct password so it wouldn't be worth the time to try and make a program that uses huawei_oem_rapi_streaming_function to open the port directly. I'm just rambling on here, though. :)
