[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonardoJegigzem:
AFAIK the Froyo kernel allow to be used on Defy with SOC module, which is not possible with GB kernel, cause is made for Defy+ and all Defy+ has Red Lens and Bayer module, the GB kernel allows too to record in 720p(In theory, still in process by Quarx i think)

Well so the Froyo kernel is needed for Defy with Green lens(SOC module) in a "Grosso Modo" way
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStoke:
Defy works with CM7 and CM9 Kernel

Hi there,

I'm a bit confused. I used cm7 kernel (2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8) and cm9-nightly by Quarx (08.03.2012) it worked fine. Camera etc.

Today I tried cm9 kernel (2.6.32.9-g21f1a48) and cm9-nightly (Defy+) by Quarx (05.03.2012) it works fine too. Camera etc.

I couldn't figure out if I have a green or red lense. (Log Cat didn't find "CameraCommon", what does that mean)

I'm happy that my defy works with both kernels and both versions of Quarx' builds but I would like to know which kernel and which version is the "best" for my phone

Thank you and Greetings to Quarx and Epsi
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MainCourse:
Dude - you need to figure this out to find out whether you have a bayer or SOC camera module.

The fact that you flashed a GB kernel (I think so) and your camera worked means that you probably have a red lense.

Play with logcat and find out!

Yep, thats the SOC alright - also known as green lense.

Thats OK though.

I'm not sure why the Defy+ Kernel Worked with yours.. :confused:

Oh well!

Can you tell which one has better performance?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStoke:
ok, Catlog found Bayer device
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MainCourse:
Yay for you mate! You've got the new camera capable of 720p. Flash the GB kernel and away you go!

:D

EDIT: I have kinda been sidetracked here.

TheStoke is fine, because he has the Bayer/Red Lense - he can flash anything.

Serpent Rider, you have Green Lense, which is OK, but you can only flash the Froyo Kernel, OK?

That way your camera will work properly.

Defy+ and Red Lense defy can flash both, and they will have 720p video recording capability with Defy+ Kernel.

Comprendo?

:D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpent_rider:
I know I have SOC module and I hardware limitation for 720p recording.

And I am fine with that.

But CM7 didn't have Froyo kernel.

CM7 upgraded the defy mb525 to GB kernel. From 2.2 to 2.3

Now why we are going back to Froyo kernel?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonardoJegigzem:
CM7 has GB and Froyo kernel version, on Defy you can use both of them, is not the same to say Android 2.3 and GB kernel, in fact the CM7 for Defy doesnt upgrade the Froyo kernel to GB, sure for that you miss the 720p rec. Of course you can install the CM7 GB kernel too, now you can use too Froyo kernel based ROMs on Defy+ flashing a new SBF appeared a time ago, that is possible because has a CG ver 6 and Froyo kernel
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
You need to understand that going from android 2.2 to 2.3 CUSTOM ROM

doesn't necessarily change your kernel to gingerbread kernel. CM7.1 runs

on froyo kernel.

There are a few gingerbread roms that use froyo kernel, like cm7. Then there are roms like

Ms2ginger that require gingerbread kernel.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.. I have go launcher ex, and when i'm looking for new themes, I keep seeing a wallpaper that I believe has the date on it, in big numbers.. I included some screenshots of what i'm talking about.. But I have no clue how to get that wallpaper.. Or the date or whatever the big numbers represent. Is it a widget? Or a certain setting in the app? Can someone let me know how I do this? Please!!

Hello Guys,

I recently PICKED up a DEAD VIVID from a fellow XDA'r for a really cheap price hoping I can UNBRICK it and use it :)

As I have understood , This phone was bricked during the ICS update Process. Looks like the Original Owner did not know what he was doing LOL,

The phone should be here in a WEEK

Can anypone shed any light on how this can be fixed and what are the possible options ?

JTAG ??? HTC service

I live in INDIA BTW
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mally2:
bump....

Hope I wasn't a Idiot to buy a bricked VIVID ?? :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I don't think any solution has been found so far. If you hadn't already known, our vivid section is really small with not a ton of development going on. The people that couldn't follow directions were sort of left in the dust, and I don't know of anyone working on a fix for the bricks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] timmytim:
How "bricked" is it? Will it power on? Get to HBOOT?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I assume he's talking about the worst kind we've seen. Like the noob who pissed off PG and made him leave.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlosjcar:
If it powers on and you are able to go to HBoot it can be saved.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
If you can get into Qualcomm dload mode, you should still have a shot at fixing it. If it literally can't get into dload mode, does not boot into fastboot, or any other possible method of pushing files to the phone, then yes, it is bricked. You will have to find a way to use JTAG or send it to an HTC service center.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mally2:
Thank you all !!!!! hoping for RIFF box to work
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djelement1:
I started a similar thread.....I also have a bricked Vivid.....I have been able to get mine to be recognized by QPST on com6 in phone download mode.....the question is, what do I do now? QPST seems to be pretty straight forward, but I have no idea where to find the necessary files to flash the phone. Any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djelement1:
I haven't been able to find any .hex files for our device. Tried opening the various .img files extracted from the PH39IMG.zip in a hex editor and saving them as .hex files but QPST returns an error. I don't have any experience in hex editing, but I know I can't brick the phone any worse. My g/f has went back to an HTC Inspire so I am going to keep this hope alive as a side project.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robertmoore208:
Whether this guy who bricked his phone was a NOOB, isnt really an issue now is it? Nor if he is one of the ones whom ticked off PG.. I bricked my Vivid, and 1) I'm not a NOOB. 2) I followed Directions to the letter ... did everything right and it still bricked.. but i had insurance through BestBuy , sent it in and got a new phone 2 days later.. re-tried the same steps i did before which bricked my phone, and it went through without a hitch... We arent here to judge people nor start up another thread which can potentially lead to another mass exodus from XDA
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djelement1:
Well I just got off the phone with HTC....seems I was wrong about their warranty policy. Even though I was not the ORIGINAL purchaser the PHONE is still under warranty. I will be shipping it back to HTC first thing in the AM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
Haha. Sucks for the guy who let it go so cheap. Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Wow, I didn't even know that. All you have to do is send back the phone, no receipt, no nothing?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djelement1:
I called HTC and gave them my contact info and all the info about the phone....IMEI#, serial #, and part #.....told them what the problem was....and they emailed me the info about sending the phone in...worst case is the problem won't be covered under warranty, in which case I will have to pay $135 to have it fixed. Hopefully it will be covered under warranty though....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:
did you send the phone to them? did you got it back? did you had to pay anything?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
yeah i've sent them many phones, a couple of hd2, touch pro, touch pro2

can't remember what else but yeah if ur not original owner from a store they go by production date of the phone, i've been lucky that i always got them fixed for free, only once they said that said that the damage to my screen was due to physical damage and didn't fix it, and they charged me $40 (they call it a triage fee) other than that, i had to pay to ship it to them but it's worth the $5 using usps priority mail, they ship back at their cost with a nice box and HTC lint free cloth lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] computertech1990:
You need the H-BOOT

If you need the H-BOOT let me know i,ll give you a copy once you have it leave it as is just put the zip file (PH39IMG.ZIP) to the root of the sd card hold down vol button and power at the same time once you see it boot let go and the phone will do the rest it will unbrick it for sure.:cool:

[HTC Desire S] razvlix:
Hello XDA, i`ve read a few thing about beats audio, and i saw that it can be installed on few HTC devices.

I want to know if i can install the beats audio on my HTC Desire S, with the original ROM, 2.3.5 with sense 3.0.

Thanks !
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You'll need root access to inject the bin files in the system directory. Alternatively you can flash the zip from a custom recovery. But for both, you need an S'off or unlocked device.... Not possible on a locked or S'on phone.

But then if you end up having a S'off device...and want a sense ROM, you're better off using a custom ROM like Endymion which has beats pre installed.

[HTC Desire S] razvlix:
Thank you for your answer.

i want to ask you if Endymion have ICS.

Can you help me with some tutorials or something for a newbie, to install Endymion? :)

Hi. :)

Endymion is based on Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. No, it is not an ICS ROM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamKilo:
hi guys, first post so apologies if its been asked before. i have run a search but all the results are regarding factory unlocked phones.

i bought my Galaxy S2 locked to the o2 uk network.

recently had it unlocked by o2 with the keys that they provided me.

with the up coming ICS update, im just curious to know if Kies will update me with a generic Regional release of ICS or will i still need to wait for an o2 branded ICS release because the phone was locked to o2 from new.

not sure what info you need, so ill just provide the usual info ive seen posted in forums.

PDA: I9100XWKJ1

PHONE: I9100XXKI4

CSC: I9100O2UKJ1

BUILD: OCT 11

ANDROID 2.3.5

GT-I9100

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
I think you can do it either way. More than likely a general ICS release will be seen some time before you get a branded release from o2 so it will pretty much be up to you which one you implement, but I'm sure most will agree that the o2 official will come after the generic ICS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamKilo:
Thanks for the replies guys.

I thought by having my phone unlocked directly by o2 would make it unbranded, thus being able to update to an unbranded ICS release via Kies instead of waiting for the o2 branded one.

Well i guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully I get an update with the unbranded version via Kies!

I'm not familiar with custom roms. I am comfortable with the whole scene, I just havnt tinkered with Android yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamKilo:
I may end up having to do that if o2 take too long or don't provide an ETA for their branded version of ICS.

I guess I'll need to get reading on where do get stock roms and how to flash them to my phone.

[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
When I first booted up WiFi worked for about 2 minutes. Found my home network, connected...appeared all was well.

Then suddenly it stopped and now it'll just read Turning Wi-Fi On... indefinitely. Eventually it'll say error.

Originally superwiped before flashing ROM, flashed the suggested radio.

I tried clearing cache and dalvik, didn't help.

My phone hates wifi apparently. Wi-Fi being junk is the reason I rooted in the first place. Was hoping this'd fix it. The fact that it's "intermittent" makes me wonder if it really is a hardware fault.

Any ideas?

Android Version: 4.0.3

Android Revolution 6.5.1 by mike1986

Kernel: 3.0.16 SebastionFM #1

Hboot- 1.27.1100

Radio- 11.22.3504.07_M

Tried a factory restart w/ sim pulled, still nothing.

The odd thing is how it worked at first when I booted up..then stopped functioning alltogether.
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
I had the EXACT same thing happen to me this morning. I went to bed last night and wifi was working great. This morning when I took it off the charger I noticed that wifi wasn't running. Tried turning it on an it wouldn't turn on. I thought it may be a glitch so I tried restarting. No change. Realized I had fastboot checked so restarted without it. No change.

If I go to the Settings menu under the icon to switch on wifi it says error. When I try and turn it on it has the message about turning on wifi for a few minutes and then the switch turns off. I also noticed that it is draining my battery VERY fast (most likely because it is continually trying to to turn on wifi)

Not sure what happened or what would cause this. I'm running ARHD 6.2.1.

I was planning on upgrading this afternoon after work to 6.5.1. Hopefully this new wifi issue doesn't get in the way of that...

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
You need to update your firmware first! ;)

In ARHD thread Mike1986 states: 3.32.401.x firmware is required! So go to this tread and get the necessary firmware and you wouldn't have any wifi issues.

I'm also running 6.5.1 and have wifi on for almost the entire day without any problems! ;)
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
Thanks for the reply BioTeck. I can't speak for BrokenWiFi but for me I've been running on 6.2.1 for about 2 weeks no (with the suggested firmware for that version) and haven't had a problem. Then all of the sudden this morning it started having this problem.

Any suggestions on what I can try? This evening I plan on upgrading firmware to latest as well as upgrading to 6.5.1 so I'm hoping that helps but are there any other suggestions I can try?
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
That's strange indeed!

If I were you I would try to flash the latest version of ARHD 6.5.1 and see how that goes? For me 6.5.1 is rock stable, fast and it feels smooth!
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
I'll do that and report back if that fixed it or not. *crosses fingers*

Thanks, BioTecK.

I did update it originally.

I decided to go through again...I just downloaded 3.32.401 from that thread...flashed it, superwiped and installed ROM. Still no dice. It reads all the same as it did before in the "software information" area.

I don't think I could have booted w/o that firmware correct? I'm coming from gingerbread originally...

Am I missing something?

Thanks a ton for helping me, I really really really really appreciate it.
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Strange.... Apparently it's an ICS bug and has been posted here!

On the ARHD thread, there seems other to have the same problem. Some of them solved the problem by reflashing. Perhaps you can try that as well and post this problem in ARHD's thread as well...
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
Wanted to update on my progress. I solved the issue on my phone:

I was messing around with it today while waiting for a meeting to start and I found where the wifi settings, etc are stored. It ended up being a corrupt/invalid wpa_supplicant.conf file. All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.

In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.

I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

Unfortunately after reading your latest post, Broken WiFi, I don't know that the fix that worked for me applies to you but just in case --> Are you using (or did you use) Titanium Backup to restore any of your apps? Is it possible you have a corrupt file as well? Obviously you are wiping out that file when you superwipe so I don't think you have the same issue but it is probably worth checking.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWiFi:
Funny, it worked!

I had a feeling the supplicant was the problem..

In my last rom it wouldn't let me touch anything in /data even though I was SU and S-OFF.....

So I'd just delete the one in /system... but it never helped.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Seriously, I've spent like 15 hours troubleshooting this...reading every thread on the net.

Never thought to try and delete the one in /data in this rom.

THANK YOU so very very much.

I can't post in DEV, but maybe you could let some people know over there that it's a fix.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

One thing you might try doing is deleting it and then try restarting the phone. That would be the next step I would do. If it doesn't work then you might have to start looking into a hardware or rom issue.

After you try deleting and then restart if that doesn't work I'd back everything up and try flashing your rom again.

I did try to cut/delete/rename the file through ES File Explorer and Super manager but the file doesn't move/delete/rename. Plus for some reason this file is under "/etc/wifi/" instead of "/data/misc/wifi/" /data is an empty folder in my phone. Maybe you are using different explorer?

By the way , I've updated my phone with OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5-1.50.401.1_P_release_246627z7pljztztog0er50.

[HTC Sensation] samuelrhaynes:
I've deleted the file and restarted many times, Wifi will say OFF or ERROR, i will try to turn it on and the same problem occurs, stuck saying "turning on". I've reflashed rom and firmware many times using different kernels and techniques etc. I can't believe it to be hardware related as everything was fine with version 6.3.1 and firmware 3.30... then updated to 6.5.1 and 3.32.. fine again however a couple of hours later WiFi was off and continued to say "turning on". I'm going to try to downgrade to 6.3.1 and 3.30 again to see if that helps..
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I've having the same problem. I updated to firmware 3.32 and ROM ARHD 6.5.1 last Saturday and WiFi seemed to be working until yesterday. Today it won't work at all - I can't make or receive calls and had to move the SIM card to a Blackberry curve so I could get some work done.

Tonight I tried deleting the wifi supplicant file posted earlier and that seems to help for one or two calls then it's back to no calls at all. So then I wiped the cache and devlik cache and tried again. That may have helped, but I'm not sure yet.
