dev..naaahhh..

just a regular guy,...

guys i would like to seek your help..i am already coordinating this with sir terma aswell, regarding flashing his kernel for our a2sd to work..i know some of us are afraid to use odin..and in some cases like me i really dont have a pc to work on...

but would like to get that boot img or kernel to work for a2sd...

here is what i propose to do..

instead of flashing the boot img file...

we are gonna be replacing it with the boot img(tar file )of terma...

how?by copy paste...and recovery mode...

first create a nandroid back up of your rom....use SKINS CWM....

2nd download the terma rom pda file(tar file).and use es or explorer to extract the tar file..now you should be able to get just the boot img file...copy this file

3rd using same explorer go to clorkwork/backup/ folder you should see there the nandroid backup in a folder view if you go inside you would be seeing right about 5 files....

...and paste termas boot img file...

4th...go back..

5th turn phone of then restore form back up....use MADs CWM recovery!!!

you should have a2sd working now without flashing in odin,,,

(i think same method for kernel flashing)not sure if this will work if the boot img file can be converted to falshable zip...

aside form me..can any one confirm taht this is working??and i am not going looney,,,
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] MarcoToo:
I haven't tried this, but I don't think the md5 sums are gonna match.

Try it and report. A friend with a windows machine is never too far away in case you brick anything.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] zeusseuz:
well..it worked for had no mismatches...

already tried i just want to confirm with everyone if it works....

or if it works with anyione else...

as long as the back up and restore process are done over the cwm of mad team..since not sure why..their cwm recovery produces the boot img file...not sure shy on skins doesnt...

here is basically what happened,,

wnated to tery out the famoud creeds rom...

so i got from a blogsite..

the idea was restore his nandroid back up to your device...

then..i used mads cwm recovery..gave me an error that i needed boot img...since my back ups were created by mads cwm and restores just fine...

i copied the boot img form my stock rom to the creeds nandroid files,,

and tried to restore,,,and it worked,,,

then i removed boot img then restored using skins without the boot img...and it restored...without the boot img unlike the mads cwm which gave an error..

so this is jsut basically what i did with termas boot img...

can anyone else confim this?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] zeusseuz:
stock rom...

ive used on the link...will try to further test my theory...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] MarcoToo:
Are you sure it worked? Did you try out any init.d scripts?

If yes - wow, nice discovery.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] zeusseuz:
well it did boot...

any now running..still testing on other roms...

so far ive tested

creed and stock boot img

and terma boot img and stock rom..

will try on a cust rom..

there is a bit of m ix up yet on 1st page will edit later...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] termagazis:
try one time with my boot.img and after with stock boot.img.and make sure that kernel change.(for example if the kernel name changes)

I have modded the trebuchet launcher so that it says google in the search bar on the home pages like the galaxy nexus does. It was annoying me the way it was so I thought I'd change it. I've also changed the market icon on the app drawer so it has the play shop icon there instead of the old market. Just replace the old trebuchet.apk with this one in system/app then reboot :D

could you tell me how you changed it. i want to do it to my trebuchet. for some reason most trebuchets online are many MBs and mine is only 500 kb and runs super fast. i want to keep like lite one but change those things.

[General Questions and Answers] devilsrogue:
This is not a flaming topic! I don't intend for it to be

Im wondering how the "freak" the screen resolution was possible!

http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

How the heck can they cram that much resolution into such a tiny screen, I haven't even seen computer monitors smaller than 21 inches with that resolution! Am I missing something here or is apple really loony?

I don't understand where they are getting the gpu power to host that screen resolution either...The little mobile gpu isnt going to be able to do that, I dont even think my m11x r2's gpu can...and that is a 335m with 1gb ddr3 video ram.

Opinion: They just crammed that much pixels in there to one-up android tablets....hmm seems likely to me
[General Questions and Answers] FetalVivisection:
The technology used is a bit different. In fact, Apple is discussing a new screen that will allow you to feel textures. Will update with a link when i get my computer going.

I didnt think that there was a "different" type of gpu tech? Nvidia would be using it or ati/amd would be using it if it were that easy?
[General Questions and Answers] devilsrogue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units

look at the 9600gt, I bet it couldnt play games at a good framerate at the ipad "hd" /3/new resolution.....I dont see whats going on here

that 9600gt has WAYYYYYYY more horsepower than the mobile gpu does....

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5663/analysis-of-the-new-apple-ipad

this too...i dont get it, the tegra has more horsepower as well....

it seems like apple is pulling something to me....like upscalling from a crappy res to the super high one while the other tabs are displaying the content at the 720 p res on their 720p native screen?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exitprogram:
Not sure what these numbers and letters mean....

Mine sais EL29, so i only flashed the ROM (Blazer ROM 4.0) that had all the same information as my phone displayed under "About Phone"....

This page http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=716 has a list of ROMs, a few of which i would like to use. Specifically the new ICS leaks (Hurry up SPRINT, release the ICS ALREADY!!)...

My question is... is the "EL29" "EH17" "SRF12" and all those others the firmware versions? Modem Versions? What are these? If a ROM specifies this information anywhere, will i have to upgrade or downgrade to the appropriate files (Or firmware) before flashing the ROM? I have no idea what these are or what they mean.

From what i've read and picked up, i know that some of these things will have to be done through ODIN and I think I read that some other things can be done through CWM, like flashing the ROM itself.

I just need a little more information on how flash ROMs properly concerning what needs to be done BEFORE you flash a new one

Things I already know:

1.) Must install a ROM compatible with your phone (DUH)

2.) Sometimes you gotta use ODIN (Is this only for root? Or do you use this to upgrade/downgrade modem firmware or something, too ?)

Also, what other file exensions should I be familiar with and what do they do? I just want to be able to modify my phone with no problems and a collection of links and bookmarks for me to pull it off. I'm not trying to be a programmer (yet =)

Any links specific to my questions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Not the touch section

WRONG SECTION

your looking for the epic touch this is the one with the keyboard.

But to answer your questions those are firmware versions that the ROM's are based on for our phone anyways.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b16flybye:
Hahahaha. Dude typed all this crap just to find out he's in the wrong forum.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinslwc:
Well, we can still help...

EL29:

E = 2011

L = 12

29 = 29

So if this is a ROM, the base version was built on December 29, 2011 (apparently samsung employees worked the holidays...). If this is the modem version, guess what, the modem was built on December 29, 2011.

So to recap, the first letter is for the year, the second for the month and the last two for the day.

SRF1.2 = Syndicate ROM Frozen. This is an older ROM, based off of EC05 (March 5, 2011), and by the name, Android 2.2 (Frozen Yogurt). I don't know if there was an SRF for the Epic touch.

Again? the number of epic touch posts r growing i think on the main site we need to change the name of the phone to the epic 4g non touch haha
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I already petitioned the mods and the big mods refused. That is why Jay posted the Non-Touch stickies but the problem with that is accessing with an app you don't see the stickies unless you click on that subject. Viewing from a PC also has a picture of our phone with keyboard open.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dude12v:
Just wondering if any of you sprint workers here can tell me some things about the tech positin. What to expect and what is usually done there. I got an interview tomorrow with them for a tech position, so i just wanted to find out the benefits of working for sprint. Any help will be greatly appreciated . Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Benefits of working at Sprint? That would be amazing customers like us here on XDA, what more could you hope for? lol

Good luck on your interview.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sabbathia:
First off, #1 benefit is a $0 phone plan.

As far as the position goes, having experience rooting, flashing and just general understanding of Android will be the biggest thing. Followed by customer service (you can't be one of those closet nerds who can't talk to people) and lastly, third main task is handling inventory.

Honesty, most of the job is hard resetting Android phones since no one takes the time to understand their own phone. Also, learning the basics of Blackberries will help you a lot if you have no understanding of them going into it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Totally agree with all of this. Plus, it helps to have a thick skin.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
So your going to work in a corporate store? or a 3rd party reatiler (often mistaken for retail stores), or deep in the bowls of sprint with fancy switches or tower sites?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
Techie

I started as a tech in a preferred retailer, I am now the store manager. Some of the previous comments were on point, You will be dealing with mainly android phones, likely EVO 4G's. Knowing the in's and outs of an android device is the best route. Having a general understanding of Blackberries is helpful. The hardest devices are the iden/nextel devices. They are a pain in the ass to work on. Having solid customer service and the ability to understand and empathize with your customer is key. You will get alot of angry people who say something like, " I have been with sprint for so many years, and I have 4 lines and my bill is $200/month, give me what I want!" The inital response is to say, "You and 40 million others too" Point being is that you have to be thick skinned and not take it personal. The best advice I can give, is to BACK UP CONTACTS prior to doing any work on the phone. Android makes it easy, export them to the SD. Blackberry, run a backup on desktop manager, other devices, make a backup using the cellbrite. The goal of a repair center is to repair first, triage second, and exchange as a last resort. Learning how to actually open up a phone and replace parts and assess whats liquid damage and whats fixable just comes with experience and it isn't generally something you can learn about ahead of time. Please PM me is you have some specific quesitons, I've dealt with the good, the bad and the ugly in my location. It's a tough job, but can be really fun if your a geek. It's the ultimate geek job.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Best advice I can give is to learn how to not take crap from anyone. Customers will do anything and everything to get something for free. The customer is not always right.

Memorize anything you can about Sprint phones. Settings, hard reset buttons, tweaks, etc. The more you can do from memory without having to look it up, the better off you'll be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Yes. And I cannot emphasize enough that you will be dealing with some of the angriest people you might ever encounter. Nothing equals the rage of some random corporate big head who might face a day without their mobile device. They are out for blood. No matter how courteous and understanding you could possibly be.

Make sure to have thick skin and learn the eccentricities of passive aggressive conversation.

Many inconsiderate, ignorant, and inept employees in your prospective position, have soured the public towards cellular employees.

A bad experience on the phone or at another location will mightily influence the attitudes of customers that you serve face to face. So you might spend 90% of your time fixing the wrongs of some idiot who doesn't care. (Usually from call centers, but other customer facing locations as well.)

It can be a very amazing position. Frequently gratifying by helping a less technically knowledgable person through the varying issues they encounter. But many bad apples are to be prepared for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
Your going to scare him off! Good techs are hard to come by. While the above is correct, you may get yelled at for something that happened at another sprint store, but because your shirt says Sprint, you are the person getting it. Don't take it personal and do the best you can to help them. While I've dealt with plenty of upset people, I've also dealt with tons of people have thrive on the knowledge that I have of the android operating system, and really enjoy learning about something new. Other customers just want to learn the basics and be on their way. Find out the customers needs and address those needs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
I had an interview for sprint customer service rep today actually. Would have gotten the job but I didn't like the schedule. they gave me 2pm to 3am. Reapplying in a few months Because the job pays very good money and seems fun IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
They should get paid good money, customer care reps get smashed on by sprint customers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dude12v:
Thank you so much man I really appreciate that I'll definitely pm :-) . Thank you all for replying so fast. I'm really excited about his job because I've been working on the customer service jobs all my life. Right now I'm working at a dealership so I know what to expect from a few customers. And as far as android system goes

I'm really comfortable with it. I know how to root and flash and the basics so thats covered for me. Ya'll should of seen the faces of some of the employees there when i pulled out my E4GT with the ics rom it was pricesless lol. Wow the benefits sound really freaking awesome!! I think is a retail store. And is a tech position like helping people out with their phone probs. The only thing worrying me is blackbarry since I heavent had any of those phones. Good thing there is always room for learning . Ones again thank you all :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
Nextel blackberries are the worst, but whoever trains you will teach what you need to know. You won't get thrown to wolves upon hiring. There are alot of training courses. You won't deal to much with root, only when you see a rooted phone that won't activate. Good Luck let us know how it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
tomaro is my final in training, or my initial 90 days. in fact, my manager made me a new name tag without the in training :)

whoever mentioned knowing the basics of blackberry has it right. i know EVERYTHING about android, and an sufficient amount about iOS, but let me tell you, my first 20 tickets were all blackberries with problems like JVM errors and no gps lock...those being so hard i mainly just exchanged -_- then again, even with the easiest question "how do i turn wifi on" threw me off. its like i didt even know blackberies exsisted before i was hired at sprint. lmfao but thankfully one of my coworkers is a major RIM guy so hes since taught me the ropes

one more thing on the blackberry front...is it just me or do they taking FOREVER to boot??? it gets akward after the first 5 minutes and im shouting from behind the glass....half way there, imma fix it, dont worry! lol

however. whoever said you wont get thrown to the wolves is trippin, yo. they stripped me naked, powdered me with sea salt and threw me into the fire. i dont ****in know how to change an evo speaker!

bETTER FIGURE IT OUT QUICK, WE TOLD HER YOUD bE DONE IN 15 MINUTES (youtube the rescue)

i have since learned the ropes and have really proven myself. my manager is hiring me on for 2$ more than i asked for, plus commission on the NASCcalander, and awesome benefits. ive drastically brought up our overall csats, and my personal csat and ready now is always at 100%. my first months AE budget was blown out of the water, but the past two months have been well below what they expected.

all in in all id say you need to know how to work blackberry desktop manager, the hard key reset for the entire line up, and youd better pick up a soldering gun 'cas those evo charging ports dont last a lick.

sorry my asus keyboard dock sux
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Yeah, I hate the blackberry start up time!

Okay, I need to learn how to fix charging ports, is that on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
I wanna job at a sprint store

In all seriousness I really do

But I need a high school deploma or a GED :(

Man I still have to wait till June to graduate and I'm willing to bet I can troubleshoot phones better than most sprint employees that don't come here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Every EVO port I see is so totally ****ed theres no chance of saving it.

If the anchor legs break off you can forget about trying to fix it.

Im not sure why anyone thinks the Nextels are hard to fix? 90% or the time its swapping a front flip assembly or doing a master reset on the sim card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
Been a tech for 2 years now, its not a bad job like he said if you can spot the bull**** and keep the tough skin mentality...tons of people with the "Customer service said...." and then having to explain the TRUTH, get alot of the people who said they were told by CARE to bring their phone that fell into the toilet into me and I would replace it on the spot....not so much, call Asurrion....alot of that and replacing EVO speakers lol....its not bad at all....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Yea it's crazy how bad people destroy EVO charging ports. And screens. People with EVOs seem to take no care with their device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
It's a crying shame for those poor Evos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Hmm...best words I can give...

You'll learn to LOVE finding liquid damage ;)

It's a rush, kinda. Lol.

In all seriousness though, it stems from all the phones being sort of like your children. I've ended up really caring about our devices, and that's really the focal point of my job, ensuring all my little children are running smoothly. So when you find LD, it's gratifying to know it wasn't the phones fault, but the customers.

If that makes sense, lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superbeast0:
Be prepared to be the red headed step child of the store. I have been doing this for 10 years now. The main thing you have to do is fix the sales clerk's mess ups. They do everything they can to mess up inventory, it is our job to fix it. The job is easy other than that. The thick skinned comment ain't no joke. There are some ignorant people out there... "what do you mean you can't fix my phone, you are a TECH right?" Well sir, you phone has water still in it. And then you get the oblivious people... "the water in my phone has nothing to do with the problem, fix the problem".

Insurance is good as a corporate employee, but in the last year or two it is getting slightly worse. Zero dollar personal line, and deeply discounted lines, tied to your ssn, so be careful with who you give them to. If you manager is cool you can advocate devices, get cool new phones before they launch, I got the nexus s 4g, and the et4g.

In the end it is all about customer satisfaction, our pay scale went down but we now make a bonus based off store csat goals.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Its funny, when I had my EVO before I had it for about 14 months with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Not a knick in the screen, a wiggle in the port, nothing. It was because I always treated it like it was brand new. Using a case with matching holster, unplugging and plugging in very carefully, etc.

People would come in *****ing about how the phone was a piece of trash and how they have been through 5 of them, and I would pull mine out and they would say the only reason it is as nice as it is is because I work at Sprint.

You don't see me *****ing at the mechanic when my car breaks down that his car runs fine because he is a mechanic! Well no ****. My car doesn't break down because I got one considered very reliable and I do all the scheduled maintenance.

Its not brain surgery, just try to give a **** about something if you spent more than 10 dollars on it.

Just want to toss another one in for having thick skin, lol. People will call you everything in the book and accuse you of raping their children over a damn phone. Just learn to laugh and let it roll off your back.
