Wtf re-partition

RE-PARTITION IS A GREAT WAY TO KILL A PHONE FOR ANY NOOBS/NEWBS i KNOW I DID A YEAR AGO. :eek:

Why on earth would you call this a noob friendly tutorial. Every other tutorial I've read since bricking my first try with ODIN where I DID follow the instruction and DID put all the right parts in the right boxes and ODIN failed and I still have that bricked board to this day.

Re-partitioning with ODIN is a bad idea for anyone that does not own a RIFF box to fix the brick or is willing to send their device away to have someone do it for them. It's a mean thing to do if you know what your doing. Noobs maybe noobs and not newbs but getting giggles out of messing their devices up just to show them how smart you are and how dumb they are isn't cool. You yourself wasn't born with all the knowledge and had people thrown stuff like this at you where bricking your device is a very good possibility.

I've been learning this trade (albeit not too much lately making a living has been more important among other things) for about two years now and I have tried re-partitioning 3 times I think on devices I didn't care about due to them not being worth the investment to repair the broken this or that and all 3 have ended up bricks.

Anyway, c'mon don't discourage people from trying to learn this stuff by throwing tricky tutorials that fail most of the time unless the noob or newb manages to get lucky and it works. And just tell people to get lost instead of kicking them in the nuts if you don't want them around. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
Flashing the PIT file together with stock firmware (so re-partition checked then) is the best way to unbrick the i9000, very important for unbricking from all custom ROMs higher than 4.3

He has mentioned in the OP the PIT file, so people who read too fast or just briefly carry their own fault by not following the guide.

To check the re-partition without having chosen the PIT file will brick the device, of course.

You can send your phone to the service, they will unbrick it.... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
[MENTION=4828189]machv5[/MENTION] I've gone back to GB from JB or KK countless times, which requires repartitioning, it's not possible to do without repartitioning, and I've never ended up bricking my phone once.

So if you've managed to brick 3 devices when doing this then you obviously haven't been learning this trade very well now, have you lol

First off thank you for all your great work bringing us the latest in OS for our phones, making them faster, smoother and better than when we bought them.

It is just a small point but maybe important and others reading this might well agree.

On the subject of dates in the ROM titles...

To me (UK) 02-04-12 means the second of April, but to an american (not even sure about other countries), 02-04-12 means the fourth of February???

Not to bad to work obviously when the date is 07-14-12, but with lower dates, who knows!

Anyways, easy fix. Everyone knows what date 04 Apr 12 is.

Just sayin. Once again, thank you all for your great work, and time to read this thread.

Out of curiosity does anyone else agree with this?

Off topic, but I once convinced an American woman Europe has 15 months. I got ID'd for beer on holiday there, handed over my UK driving licence, noticed her confused expression, remembered I was born on 14/7, and proceeded to explain about our 3 extra months in the year.

or it could be YYYY-MM-DD...

still, DD-MM-YYYY is a LOT better...
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
What? Are you kidding? YYYY-MM-DD is a widely used ISO-standard, your way is a non-standard way.

It is not even mentioned among all different formats here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date

There are already too many date formats, please do not start a new one!

In fact MM-DD-YYYY seems to be used according to Wikipedia, and that makes your suggestion even worse.

Using characters for month instead is widely used and works fine though:

E g 08-Nov-2003
[Galaxy S II General] Marcb:
wow, calm down.... take a deep breath....

I know YYYY-MM-DD is a worldwide standard.... that's why i sugested :rolleyes:...

DD-MM-YYYY makes sense because you're going from day to year.... in a normal pattern... understandable to everyone... or maybe not :rolleyes:

Wikipedia was made by an american... that's why they use MM-DD-YYYY... which will always be stupid...
[Galaxy S II General] Japots:
What's stupid is how everyone assumes only America uses MM-DD-YYYY.

Personally, I grew up reading dates as Month XX, Year (ex, April 05, 2012)

When disregarding the year, we've always understand the format mm/dd (ex, 02/14 = February 14)

Now, assuming the "standard" way was DD/MM, translating to english would be to say XXth of Month (ex, 5th of April)

It really depends on what you're used to but for me, "April 5" rolls off the tongue better than "5th of April". Hence, why it makes more sense for me to see and read dates as 04/05/2012 (ie, MM/DD/YYYY)

[Galaxy S II General] kilometers4:
Who cares! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how recent a rom has been updated.

Wow...
[Galaxy S II General] MJ-12:
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

We don't want a new international format or something here!!!

All I am saying is, as in the original OP, put the month in as Jan, Feb, Mar etc... Then everybody gets it.

Come on how easy is that. Everyone understands when the rom came out or was updated. SORTED!

KISS lads (and girls) i.e. Keep It Simple Stupid :)

[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
It doesn't make sense to suggest a new format conflicting with widely used formats.

People may believe your format is good, but it's not. It is important to make that clear.

It doesn't make you a bad person, I'm sure you have a lot of good ideas, but this wasn't among those :)

[STOCK ROM] AT&T ICS, de-odexed, zip-aligned, rooted, bloated (For chefs or whoever)

I'm putting a stock AT&T ICS ROM up here for anybody and everybody to use for whatever you want. I really don't care how you use it but if it helps you, say/click thanks. :D

Features:

ICS 4.0.3

Rooted

De-odexed

Zip-aligned

init.d scripts support (Currently only holding a test script)

All the original AT&T bloat you could ever dream of

Fastboot flash the included boot.img and flash ROM from CWM.

Just a reminder that this has only been tested on a Vivid on AT&T and you must have the new ICS HBOOT on your phone before flashing.

I've uploaded to minus.com so if someone could mirror it for me that would be great. Mmmmkay.

Just waiting for somethin to finish downloading then I'll be flashing Gsleon's extentions.

Good job Jirv, appreciate it mate.

I should just be able to flash this as a zip in recovery and that's all right? I would just like to make sure I don't have to put anything in the root ofmy sd card. I am also using Wild Child's touch recovery
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
No, you also have to fastboot flash the boot.img. Next go to recovery. Then I would clear cache, dalvik cache, and maybe even factory reset. Then flash the rom in WCX Recovery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
I'm pretty sure I didn't get a boot image in the zip. Also I just put the boot IMG on the root of my sd card and boot into hboot. Then it should automatically update correct?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
This should be a zip file. You should unzip it on your desktop. Then you will find the boot.img. Copy this image and place this in the same file that contains your fast boot. Place your phone in to fast boot mode, hold down power and volume down. Click on fast boot, then attach your phone to your computer. Open a command prompt in your folder that contains the boot.img and fast boot and type in:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After that you can power down, now go back to hboot, go to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset. Go back and click on the usb toggle option, make sure you have rezipped the folder and send it to your phone.

Here is a video that also guides you through the steps:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be

You can skip some steps at the beginning, just start where your phone is currently at.

Also you have to have android sdk downloaded to use fast boot. Just google it if you don't have it already downloaded.

You're right, its quite common but they don't all do this. Holiraider and telstra stock was fine & beats worked through BT too but there I had other bugs such as beats turning off randomly & the que losing all songs except the currently playing one...

i seem to be having some issues with the market, i don't know if i just need to reinstall the market.apk or not, the error i get is shown in the picture... happens with all apps, i can remote install from market.android.com but otherwise cannot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] egawrangler:
Disagree. This is much more likely as the result of RF (co-site) interference or chip coding errors in the exchange of control information between transmitter and receiver. Stuttering in A2DP connections is a common problem in MANY devices because of the relatively high throughput of audio in contrast to the available bandwidth between Bluetooth transmitter/receiver.

Another reason might be a software glitch occurring when the A2DP module forwards information out the interface. If there is any middleware reformatting the stream (like beats audio), then issues could pop up. Again though, this is vendor agnostic.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
If you already have ICS and CWM installed, then:

1. Copy the zip to your SDCARD

2. Boot to fastboot and flash boot.img with: fastboot flash boot boot.img

3. Boot into Recovery, wipe data, and flash zip

That's the basics of it. Let me know if you need more detail.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MondoMor:
Sorry for the n00b question, but this phone is quite a bit stranger to root than my previous two. I've read everything about twenty times, but I'm still not sure. Unrevoked and Revolutionary spoiled me rotten. :o

Is this a reasonable sequence of events?

1) Unlock bootloader with HTC website

2) Flash this CWM recovery as instructed

3) Fastboot flash the included boot.img from this ROM

4) Flash this ROM from CWM as normal

5) Remove bloat, enjoy full control of phone, etc.

This is for an AT&T Vivid with the ICS RUU, pretty much fresh out of the box. Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Yup, that's pretty much it. If after first boot, you still don't have wireless, re-flash the boot.img in fastboot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Probably a noob question but... im testing a few different kernels for battery life and etc. is it possible that i use the stock kernel.. then 2 days later flash a new one? would it still work the same? or would i have to start from scratch
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Obviously, I can't guarantee every kernel will work but, yes, you can certainly flash other kernels without re-flashing the ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Thanks didnt know this, and by any chance if flashing a new kernel would that affect battery life at all? Because if so i will just reflash all together (trying to get best battery life)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Yes, different kernels can affect battery life. As for which is better for battery, that I don't know. You'll just have to try different ones. Always make sure after flashing a kernel that you discharge your phone and charge it back up. Then you can test battery life.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
I understand what kernels could do, let me re say that... If i use a kernel that gets great battery life and i flash it over the rom and kernel that are already installed would that good kernel be weaker ? Like would the battery not be as great if i was to reflash from stock
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
No, it doesn't make the kernel "weaker". It simply replaces the previous kernel.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
so i did a fresh install, after i got all done with Hoilc's Kernel with the rom phone rebooted stays on for about 5 seconds and turns off? is this kernel not supported? and how so could wifi hotspot get working on this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Flashed WildChilds Kernel from the MOD Bulid... Stuck on wifi turning on... i reflashed the kernel serveral times over the rom... cleared /boot Flashed didnt work

cleared caches and flashed again.. didnt work.. would i have to use his non-mod build kernel on this rom?

if you are wondering why im using this rom and not his its because i like the phone BASICALLY Stock.. i like to install my own mods and etc.. not all preset stuff that half of them cant even be changed
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
This typically means the kernel doesn't match the wifi module or vice versa. This question would be best asked on WC's forum.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Can you post a link for the wifi module for the stock kernel? and i can push that in with adb correct or no ?

You need the wifi module for WC's kernel if you're using his kernel.
