first signs are good....no bootlooping. Thats a start at least lol.

Anyone heard of data restore causing bootlooping? Thats what I have got. So right now I have an awesome blank phone. raw. nothing on it.....that works. And everytime I restore data, I get corrupt android phone process bla bla bla and /or bootloops from hell. Reflash and I am good :( I feel sad. All data is goneskis

T-Mobile wifi-calling only works for T-Mobile USA customers. It can't be used by anyone else. I have read once that there is T-Mobile for France and someplace else that could possibly use it, but I can't confirm that. It can't be kanged to work for any other carriers. It can be ported to phones that T-Mobile does not sell, however, if you take, say your ATT phone to T-Mobile and you find someone to port the app for you, adding it directly to your stock ROM, or a custom ROM.:)

Its back online again now fellas.

I will have a small incremental update that's come about from adjustments on my own phone, but this still doesn't quite fix facebook sync as such. I have full account sync, profiles, contact details, joining profiles all thats missing is how to open the final field in sqlite for the picture/image to display and then we are rockin-n-rollin :D

As for the wifi, I will be doing slow updates on the framework until this is sorted. I pretty much

NEED

logcat outputs from any users otherwise I am totally screwed.....I am not a Tmo user so that will be a necessity as I apply updates and getting feedback.

Wifi-calling

I don't know how I missed this post yesterday, but I guess it's a good thing as i had a very busy and frustrating day. Jeez, there are so many emotionally ill people in the world. Anyway, I'm in no mood to flash anything so I'll have to do this tomorrow. I would rather have given it a quick test in Doc Masters, but I understand that the amount of work that went into doing this was great and the framework files are no longer compatible. Life took a lot out of me today, so again, I'll do this tomorrow. Thanks!

What we've always done is freeze the app with Titanium Backup, then unfreeze it when it was necessary to use it. I'd like to add to the warning above for clarification; the wifi-calling app uses battery even when someone is not using it. Freeze it, freeze it, freeze it, to save your battery when not using it. Did I mention to freeze it, lol?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jarmezrocks:
Cheers for adding that Raymond. Such a help with information.

I have brewing a very smooth, very nice and sharp ROM for release shortly. Non-wifi, but I have mastered the battery consumption v performance balance (I think) and coupled with stability. A week past, multiple flashes, coming from multiple ROMs pure stability every time.

Alpha T-Mob

It's 8:26 Pacific time and I'm doing my backups right now. Will have something to report soon.:)

EDIT: Wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache, formatted /system, flashed twice, rebooted, forgot to flash KB5 modem (damn, what's wrong with me), letting it sit.

EDIT: Wow, Jarmez, this seems really fast and snappy so far.

EDIT: OK, when I first started setting it up I got the message about wifi-calling and connected to my network. It seemed stuck on 'reading sim card' but I rebooted to flash the KB5 modem and didn't wait. I thought not having the right modem would make it fail anyway. Update: No signal after flashing update, and settings fc's, the same as your second Vibrant ROM did. I will try restoring APN manager to see if I can get it up and running that way. Not worried yet.

EDIT: Rats, I looked in 'About phone', and under Baseband version it says 'unknown'. That means the modem did not flash correctly, which means also there was nothing wrong with your second ROM, (remember, I couldn't get the modem to flash) So, why would that cwm from Scrizz not flash on your ROMs? I'm in a pickle 'cause I never took care of the Nexus drivers, so I can't use Odin.

EDIT: OK, I take back the previous statement. For some reason modems won't flash on this ROM, the cwm is fine. We need to find out why, right away. I tried another one and it wouldn't work either. No way to test wifi-calling unless the sim can be read and with no modem, it can't be. Help!

EDIT: Got smart, I think, switch the modem.bin out of an earlier version of Onecosmic's for the one in this ROM and am trying a non-wipe install.

EDIT: Baseband still unknown. Jarmez, we have a problem. No modem=wifi-calling can't be tested. ROM is fine otherwise though.

EDIT: I looked in /radio and modem.bin was there. I pushed the KB5 version manually then rebooted, no dice. 'No Service' notification,'Baseband unknown' in 'About Phone' and Settings>More>Mobile networks>force close.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Alpha T-Mob

We need a Vibrant version of this. This has that i9000 speaker mismatch (to hear sounds out of the speaker, you must have earbuds in the 3.5 mm jack. Also I've noticed 4 copies of each song in the Music player. The volume buttons may be reversed, but that doesn't really matter. All the soft key buttons behave as they should for a Vibrant.

The wifi connects extra fast, and the signal is excellent, however, with no sim recognized, I can make no calls. If there is no system settings/modem fix by tomorrow morning, I'll have to restore so I don't miss calls.

Looks like straight AOSP (ughh!) would like your Touchwiz touches, not much but something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Alpha T-Mob

Oh, well, I guess it's back to Doc Masters. I was just informed of yet another ICS build that's strickly AOSP. I don't get it, it's like a hatred of anything Touchwiz even though some things Twiz are miles ahead of anything AOSP. Plus, I've waited too long with the hope of wifi-caling to not be able to flash a modem.

Don't get me wrong, this is an incredble ROM, just like your first one. But I can't test the one thing it was made for.:(

Hey Jarmezrocks,

I've been trying to download this for a couple of days now and every time I check the link its says your links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

Is there any chance you can put up another link please?

Yeah I'm an Aussie, I'm living in France though.

I'm actually more interested to try it out to see how many Samsung TW apks you have working. I'm on teamhacksung's ICS atm, it's great but I miss a lot of things from the Samsung roms...

I guess I'll just wait patiently for your 2.6 update :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0dzy:
Hi all,

I have thus far killed two Defy+ mobiles ($600 worth) following poor instructions on this site. I am now stuck using a 7" tablet as a phone!!!

My latest effort failed after installing 2ndinit 2.0 Stable, rebooting after turning USB Debugging off. Now it boot loops with the red Moto label. I have since read that one should never use 2.0 for Defy+ as it is known to have issues, even though the thread I took these instructions and the link from was referring specifically to a Defy+!!!

The last one I had did the same thing, only I thought it was because of the fact I chose to use the Latest rather than the Stable install of 2ndinit. I then proceeded to attempt to flash an SBF via the bootloader but now it is not booting at all, no logos, cant get to bootloader, nothing.

So, my question is, where can I get the latest Telstra Australia DEFY PLUS SBF from (please link me??) or one that I can flash over it that will work? Does anyone have any tips on how to recover this safely without sending it completely blank?

Also, does anyone have advice on how to recover the blank one?? Or is it useless?

Then, I would like to know, after I successfully recover the Defy+, HOW TO SAFELY 2ndinit it!!! I cannot afford to destroy another handset.

Thank you all for your prompt assistance! =)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolgame:
which bootmenu did u install?and did u try flashing the SBF file via rsd lite?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejstubbs:
I have run 2ndinit 2.0 on my Defy+ with no problem at all. I installed the latest bootmenu (1.0.7). Do you get the blue LED after powering the phone on?

You could try wiping data and cache in standard recovery. You should still be able to get in to that by holding vol- when you press and release the power button (press vol- and vol+ simultaneously when the android with the "!" in a red triangle appears). Your phone should still be rooted and have 2ndinit in place after a wipe. (Presumably you had rooted the phone? 2ndinit won't work otherwise.)

If that doesn't work then you may need to re-flash the SBF. If you know the build number of the ROM on your you can have a look on this thread to see if there is an SBF for it available online.

As a last resort, you could ask Motorola to fix it. If it's rooted then you've voided the warranty but if all it needs is a ROM flashing then they shouldn't charge you very much to do that. Better spend a few tens of dollars to fix the phone than write it off at a cost of several hundred dollars, surely?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolgame:
recall while doing the install

did u root first??? did u get superuser permission prompt on downloading 1.0.7?did ur led flash GREEN???ensure that these are all yes :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nidhish91:
Dont worry brother. I had the same issue. I too got stuck in bootloop i.e at the M !

All I did was went in the stock bootloader ( POWER + VOL UP ) , connected it to my laptop. Downloaded RSDLite and the compatible sbf for my device ( Indian Version ) and then flashed it and it worked like charm :D

I would suggest you to use WiFi while using 2ndInit.:D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
There's always this quote: "Do it at your own risk"..

Never say it's the forumers instructions wrong or incorrect.

Read and double confirmed before taking the plunge modifying any system files.

Besides.. The death of your Defy is not really dead yet. I think your Defy boot just fine in the first place after installing 2nd-init. The only thing you need to do is press -Vol (when the blue light blink in the booting sequence) to enter into bootmenu and select boot normal as default. Because if this is your first installing 2nd-init, it might get you boot 2ndinit which was the cause of your bootlooping. Now you had flashed another sbf.. It's good to flash just Defy+ sbf and start again the process you failed in the attempt to get 2nd-init.

We learned from the mistake and master it over relentless practicing.. :cool:

+1 for your comment
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^^Nova^^:
Same thing happened to me as the OP.

Installed 2ndinit onto my Defy+, said installed and asked to switch off USB debugging and then reboot. I did that and am now in a boot loop. I didn't see the blue led when the phone rebooted, just straight to loop (red M logo, black screen, repeat).

I have tried taking the battery in and out (didn't help), celared cache and also factory wipe/reset (didn't work either). I can get the factory recovery and bootloader, but no android or 2ndinit recovery.

I assume I have to reflash with a full sbf. My question is this -

Does anyone have the stock Defy+ Telstra AU sbf for 2.3.4 (4.5.1-134 DPF-891) or more recent updates?

If not what is closest? I have found a few here but some of the 2.3.4 ones (bl5??) have no links (megaupload etc been pulled) or no root. This one looked promising (here) but no link. Would this one (here) be good?

Can I then apply OTA update to get back to AU firmware if I need? I would use MS2Ginger or CM7 if/when I get the phone working again, but return to stock is still useful.

Thanks for your help,

Nova
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurvdate:
i must say u need to flash proper sbf to recover...

just wanna share my experience...

after installing SndndInit v2.0 ( with stock 2.3.6_134 DFP1321 ), i installed stable version of recovery & rebooted my phone...all of this with usb debugging "ON"...n got no errors! maybe there is no need to keep debugging off...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^^Nova^^:
OK, I flashed full sbf and got the phone working again (uses the sbf from the second link in my previous post). Then rooted and install 2ndinit again.

Boot loop again, exactly the same as the first time.

Install goes well, says it is installed, green led is on, however when I reboot, boot loop. There is no recovery screen or anything (except stock).

Is there some more detailed install instructions other than in the 2dninit thread? I have been transferring to sd card root, click apk to run 2ndinit, select 1.0.7 and it says everything worked. Just doesn't when I reboot.

Cheers,

Nova
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^^Nova^^:
No-one has any suggestions?

Do I need to put 2ndinit.apk in phone and not sd card?

I am going to try an older version and see if that works.

Cheers,

Nova
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apurvdate:
i hope you have rooted your phone properly else use SuperOneClick from here

you can download different versions of SndInitDefy.apk form here

go to Setings -> Applications -> Manage Application

look for SndInitDefy & clear its data (your previous install)

put the downloaded apk in SD card & run it (fresh install)

MY NOTE--keep usb debugging ON all the time...

run defy2ndInit - install 2ndInit Recovery - select latest version...

let it download...1st RED led lights then Green...wait for 2 minutes...reboot your phone...

when phone reboots BLUE led flashes for just 3-4 seconds...press VOL DOWN button when its flashing...

i hope this helps..im not a pro but i did follow exact same steps just 2 days back.. :)

PS i did used v2.0 of SndInitDefy.apk...no problems yet..made backup twice & recovered too..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^^Nova^^:
Well I tried v1.7 and that worked. I then updated to version 2.0 and that worked as well so i don't know what was going wrong. The only thing that happened different was the red led came on while 2ndinit 1.7 was loading (this had not happened before), so I would guess that 2.0 wasn't properly installing even though it said that it was installed.

Thanks for all your help.

Cheers,

Nova

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrow999:
Had exactly same problem

I did the same experience as you after locking up after 2ndInit.

I used your recovery sbf as suggested and the phone works again. Thanks!

Were you able to find a Telstra Defy sbf and were you able to get 2ndInit to work and upgrade to CM9 & ICS?

Cheers,

I recently installed ICSSGS on my captivate. Everything seems to be mostly working, but I don't have any music controls from the lockscreen. From what I have read thus far, others do have such controls....does anyone know if I need to enable them somewhere? I couldn't find any setting such as the ones I used to enable lockscreen music contols in gingerbread.

thanks.

can someone at least confirm/deny if ICSSGS has lockscreen music controls for the native music app?

I can confirm the lock screen music controls work great with the Google music app.

[Captivate General] Nyjil:
Are you using AOSP Music or Google Music?

From what I understand only Google Music and a few other apps that have them enabled (PowerAmp, CyanogenMusic) will work, AOSP Music doesn't have them enabled so it wont and I believe that's the default player for ICSSGS
[Captivate General] dolhop:
yes, i'm using the AOSP player. thanks for the input. i'll try google music player. though if it's anything like chrome (dead slow) it won't last long.

This does not look good for sprint's partnership

http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/210745-fcc-moves-to-kill-lightsquared
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Yup, read this this morning...

I'm definitely a little sad about it...Falcone has a couple of options, as do the investors who have bought their debt.

Sprint should be fine, though it would have been nice to have that $9 billion. Having already extended their options with clearwire looks like a shrewd move in light of this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
This definitely sucks but my question is: is the network vision tied into this or is it separate from LS? By that I mean was network vision going to use this spectrum/network to operate or is it not effected by this decision? No LTE would be a huge bite in the ass to Sprint and us consumers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkzbdroid:
we are rolling out our own LTE network, light-squared was more of a way to expand our coverage, all my knowlagents say mid 2012
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
I need a little clarification I thought the LTE we were planning to roll out was lightsquared so how and who will be the maker/supplier of our LTE network, isnt LTE that is the source of the gps interference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmchssc:
LightSquared was going to be hosted on Sprint's new Network Vision towers in exchange for cash and access to the new network for resale to Sprint subscribers. It would have effectively given Sprint 20 mhz (or so) of extra LTE capacity on the 1500 mhz band. However, Sprint has plans to roll out LTE on its own spectrum in the PCS (1900 mhz) and ESMR (800 mhz) bands. This decision by the FCC will not impact the coverage of Sprint's LTE, but it will reduce the total capacity of the network by about 50%. The effect will be most noticeable for users outside the range of PCS LTE, because now the more spectrum constrained 800 mhz band will have to take on all of these users.

There is hope however, because Sprint still has Clearwire. Clearwire holds a ton of spectrum in the 2500 mhz band. In many urban areas, they hold over 100 mhz of spectrum, or enough for ~1 gbps (!) to be shared between the users of each sector of each cell site when using LTE-Advanced. They're the current provider for WiMax, and they're planning on overlaying LTE on the most stressed parts of their existing network. Recently, when LightSquared was first running into trouble with the FCC, Sprint and Clearwire agreed to a system much like the current one with WiMax, where Sprint would be able to resell their 4G to its subscribers. However, since Clearwire is pretty short on cash, they won't be able to invest much into network expansion in their current state. Their future LTE coverage will be even further behind their disappointing WiMax coverage.

However, Sprint holds a majority stake in Clearwire, and if they decided to buy them out (see here), they could potentially use their spectrum on their Network Vision towers, and completely alleviate the possibility of slow data speeds due to spectrum scarcity. Now that LightSquared has failed to come through for Sprint, there is a good possibility for this (or an agreement that accomplishes something similar) to become Sprint's next course of action.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] postq:
As a 12 year Sprint subscriber, I must say, as strange as it sounds, that I am happy about the FCC's ruling....

Unfortunately, finding my way home from 100 miles offshore in the gulf stream is a bit more important to me than Sprint's near term LTE network capacity.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
This is the side I heard before. So annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Sprint is rolling out its own LTE network. They were going to be paid $9 billion to roll out Lightsquares for them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
So you're fine using something that's that fallible? Remember that stealth drone that Iran captured? You know how they did it? They blocked it's GPS signal which put it into autopilot. Then they sent their own "GPS" signal - stronger than the one the military was using and told it to land inside their country at a known spot.

Hmm... seems GPS isn't all it's cracked up to be. How would you like to be on a flight and have that happen? Imagine a night flight where the pilot can only rely on instruments and GPS. Mainly GPS. Someone sends a signal telling the receiver that it's climbing when in truth it's not. Guess what the pilot will do? Or the signal could just tell the receiver that it's off course, then the pilot flies into the middle of the ocean, runs out of fuel, and crashes. I don't pretend to be a pilot or know what goes on in that cockpit but if they can't see anything they must rely on the GPS.

The government knows GPS is just a huge crisis waiting to happen but they are too worried about other 'more important' issues to deal with it. Remember when Americas infrastructure was the best in the world? Neither do I but my grandparents and parents do. So I say they should let LS build the LTE network. If GPS fails that badly then it was worthless to begin with and needs to be retooled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdiamond16:
In terms to that GPS on the drone. GPS is a lot more secure than you think...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Not really true in any meaningful way. The amount and size of filtering required to filter out the spill over from the 100W towers that were planned would have blocked the GPS for your Garmin, Phone, and pretty much any receiver smaller than a cinderblock and even then would have been a questionable thing.

Lightsquared was trying to repurpose bandwidth explicitly designated for low powered satellite communications and didn't succeed in constraining their signal enough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
That being said both sides are at fault....GPS should not be infringing on said frequency ...And too bad ls could not make it work for their purpose...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
GPS is not infringing on said frequency it would have been infringed upon by lightsquared.
