6.0.A.3.73 CE1

Hi everyone :)

I just updated my phone thruu Update Service to .73 and done by FlashTool an FTF file.

This FIRMWARE have a great thing in "Messages" an option (Cost saving) to convert special characters to send more text in each text message.

it just converts letters like : ą ł ż etc to plain a l z . in that way it will not take so many space in message,and u can send more text :)

Thats the difference what i have notice from generic UK (maybe other countries dont have this too )

This is the cleanest version .

it dont have :

Music Unlimited ,Video Unlimited and bloatware.

and the rest : WisePilot ,antyvirus ,top contacts etc u can just uninstall.

I hope so i have done it in right way, that was my first time xd : take 2 biggest files from Update Service blob folder ,in flashtool select decrypt , (moved all files ,( *.sin) )...and thats it , it was ready in flashtool firmware folder :>

I have uploaded this to MediaFire in 3 parts RAR (use WinRar or other soft to extract)

packed size : 266MB , unpacked : 490.356 KB

Correct FTF .removed partition-image.sin

I have flashed this FTF to my xperia S and it WORKS for 100 %

Have a good weekend :D

This is for generic firmware 73. The link you are referring to is for generic firmware 67. Therefor it requires a separate thread.

So if I flash a new firmware. Will I lose root? I am currently using the .67 provided in the sticky.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HighHo:
Yes, you would lose root, someone I'm sure will soon make a root image from this file. Alternatively you can add root yourself there's some posts already that explain how to do it. Unfortunately I don't have an unlocked bootloader to create the required image.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jimi83:
Hey. Yes u will lose root , but probarly u can root again, there was somebody explaining that here on dev xd

[LG Optimus 3D] Mitsink:
Hello all i am new in the forum so if i did something wrong i am sorry :p

So, yesterday i bought a lg optimus 3d (i live in greece and i buy it from a greek store). The problem is that the mobile is from Germany, and I can not update from 2.2.2 to gingerbread!! I try it with all lg tools.. when i plug the phone in the usb the update tool tells me is a newer bersion of firmware avaible start update, when i press start update in the download it stucks and he fail to update.. i try this thousend of times and all same.. Whats the problem??? please help me and thanks in advice!!!

I know i know my english is very good!! :D
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
Well, I'm not sure about the other O3D users out here but I would advise not to upgrade. Take some time and read the Ghost Call issue thread and then decide if you want to risk the update.

Btw, if I knew sooner I could have sold you mine on a discount ;) hehe
[LG Optimus 3D] Mitsink:
Thanks for you answer :D

I see the 2,3 have a lot of bugs like ghost call, but when the ics comes out how the f... i update it? :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] Mouselik:
The key here is exactly "when the ics update comes out". If LG continues with its normal update rate, we will have too wait a long time for it, so not to be bothered with it now.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Guess you probably managed to upgrade it but here it is step by step..

Before we start i suppose you know about the ghost calls issue that OPTIMUS 3D gingerbread based roms have and you are sure you want to upgrade iy..

Step 1

download

V21a from here:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...00/V21D_00.kdz

or

V21d from here:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...00/V21D_00.kdz

Step 2

download this

http://xdaforums.com/atta...0&d=1328537753

Step 3

make sure you have installed your lg phone drivers before continuing to the next step

Step 4

unzip LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.zip

you will find a filename Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs

run it

if everything runs ok it will take you to the upgrade tool if not it will probably show you a windows script host error

if that happens try running it manualy from folder

LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix

KDZ_FW_UPD_EN

KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

as soon as KDZ_FW_UPD.exe select Type: 3qct and PhoneMode: Emergency

select your downloaded kdz file connect your phone and press

Launch software update

It will take some time to decompress the files but if everything is ok it will start.

You will see the progress with various messages the last message ends with 0

That should do the job..

As far as I know this has not been enabled yet on the Shift. I may be wrong, but I think it has to be enabled in the Kernel.

[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
From what I've gathered so far, you can plug in a thumb drive and it will read it... I'm still reading and researching how to get it enabled...

Sent from my PG06100
[EVO Shift 4G General] MrLinky:
It would allow the phone to act as a "host", much like a USB port on a PC. This would allow your phone to access external storage (like a thumb drive or digital camera), USB accessories (like mice and keyboards) or transmit audio through the USB (for audiophiles who want to use their DACs and amplifiers).
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
It would be a nice feature, and really useful at times. You can achieve almost the same thing with Bluetooth enabled devices. But not nearly as quickly. Also with Bluetooth obviously both devices need to have Bluetooth. Plus all the BS that goes with it. USB Host Mode would make it considerably easier. Plug and play so to speak.

I'm definitely gonna attempt (if it's possible) to get this added...

Biggest issue with usbhost is power. Most devices you'll. Need a powered usb hub to be able to power devices you plug in.

I was looking around, and they seem fairly reasonable price wise. Especially for how versatile it makes your device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDBoss:
http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=getting-started:installation:android

This page describes how to install a program on android based devices, but I am not able to understand the (rather short) instructions. I hope that anyone here can further elaborate on the steps required to run this program on a tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pichichi:
I don't know that much about linux/android but I think enough to help you.

First of all, you need to have a rooted Tab and Busybox installed on your Tab. If you don't have that, wel.. You should try to figure that out first.

Then you need some knowledge of ADB or have a Terminal Emulator installed on your Tab.

You can pm me in Dutch if you need help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
Actually, is really simple to install. There's no need to use adb (root is needed to create /data/local/gcc), the only requisite is a terminal emulator and busybox. I'm using Better Terminal Emulator Pro, but a free alternative with "all included" is Terminal IDE.

Following the guide, first get the 3 files, do this from the tab (in my case, sometimes the default browser doesn't work with mediafire, use Opera if this happens to you).

Now open your terminal emulator (for moving the files and create the folder a file manager can be used, but in my opinion that's cumbersome). All the following commands are executed from the terminal.

First, get root:

su

(A prompt dialog will request root permission)

Now, create the directory:

mkdir /data/local/gcc

From this point, root isn't required, so you can do it as a normal user. To change from root to user:

exit

Create the directory:

mkdir /data/local/gcc

Now move the downloaded files (change the path "/sdcard/Download" according to your case)

mv /sdcard/Download/android_gcc_r2a.tar.bz2 /data/local/gcc

mv /sdcard/Download/android_gcc_supplement.tar.bz2 /data/local/gcc

mv /sdcard/Download/android_R_r1a2.tar.bz2 /data/local/gcc

Move to the directory

cd /data/local/gcc

Extract the downloaded files

tar xjf android_gcc_r2a.tar.bz2

tar xjf android_gcc_supplement.tar.bz2

tar xjf android_R_r1a2.tar.bz2

Now you need to "tell" to the system where R is installed so it can be recognized by the system.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/data/local/gcc/lib

export PATH=$PATH:/data/local/gcc/bin

You can (and you ought to) put this lines in your ~/.bashrc. If you are using Terminal IDE, is very easy, do

nano ~/.bashrc

and write the two lines.

That's it. In the terminal type

R

And you can start using it (I can't tell you about how to use R as I don't use it, but I guess you already know how to).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDBoss:
First of all great thanks for this post. I have now been able to make progress, although I run aground in the move part, I get a permission denied when I try to create the directory /data/local/gcc on the main system (i.e. my files are in mnt/sdcard/blabla and I want to create the target directory.

Might this be due to not being rooted? - I think I am rooted (Titanium backup runs ok)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
Sorry, my bad. I forgot that very important part. You need root only for that part.

All the other steps are the same, just start with root:

First, get root:

su

(A prompt dialog will request root permission)

Now, create the directory:

mkdir /data/local/gcc

From this point, root isn't required, so you can do it as a normal user. To change from root to user:

exit

Now move the downloaded files (change the path "/sdcard/Download" according to your case)

mv /sdcard/Download/android_gcc_r2a.tar.bz2 /data/local/gcc

.

.

.

.

All the other steps.

In case you get a "permission denied", keep doing the steps as root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SDBoss:
That was really helpful, thanks again. I can now run the program, that part is clear. Tithe only thing I cannot get done is writing the exports in the bashrc, I see the text but cannot save in this, I guess I need to use the ^X sort of commands but how does that work from a soft keyboard?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
That's ctrl+x (^ means the key ctrl or control), use another keyboard like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard

Don't forget to activate it in settings>language & input.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Just be careful using Fire Parted, it is known to cause issues with some Fires where it will not complete the process and you have to rebuild the partitions manually. I had this happen with 2 different Fires.

Quoted from the linked post:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koop1955:
I Wouldn't Use That

That link is for FireParted. The developer of that app, eldarerathis, discontinued support, saying "I'm shelving this, at least for now. The errors are too inconsistent and sporadic, and testing has proven to bee rather arduous."

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427686&highlight=fireparted

He also posted instructions on manually re-sizing your partitions using ADB (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1388996) but frankly the inconsistent responses scared me.

But maybe I'm just a wuss. :)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anantshri:
ohk thanks everyone for response.

Fireparted as already stated is shelved.

I was looking at doing a custom kind of a setup and hence checked with eldarerathis and went with his suggestion of adb shell / recovery parted setup.

so i have used parted for my needs

a quick shot of help on parted if anyone needs

to start parted (in recovery)

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print all partitions

(parted) print

remove exisiting partition

(parted) rm <part_no>

add partition

(parted) mkpartfs <no> <type> <start> <end>

i removed sdcard partition completely and then created my own setup. (I prefer keeping alt boot low as that will be my experimental layout.)

I am starting with CM9 or CM7 setup @ secondary partition and then lets see how things go..

Hi,

sorry for maybe stupid question...which ROM (or CM?, CWM?) is the best? I need only version with Czech language.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] TeeJay3800:
Please do not post questions in the dev section. :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dipo123:
Development for the Viewpad is almost totally stopped. But there are at least a couple of ROMs that are being updated more or less recently.

[ROM]EUViewpad7 v1.7b

and

[ROM] kwbr Viewpad 4.2 :: BeatsAudio :: Flashplayer :: App2SD

I've tested both.

My viewpaD is ITE so i installed the EUViewpad7's ITE ROM. Install was without probs. But Had some FC's and reboots. Flash never worked for me and Google market either. Scrolling was very laggy so it wasn't for me. But if you read the thread it works for many people.

I like best Kwbr's ROM. Flawless install, Flash runs out of the box, no problem with market. An so far I'm very happy with that rom. I've been able to install a lot of apps and customize launcher/ Angry Birds run. Even NETFLIX runs (very choppy but that is the problem of a not so powerful CPU).. A2SD works, etc

Just give it a try to either of those ROMS. If you have a non ITE viewpad you'll be able to flash an OC kernel and that would be a huge improvement over the stock ROM

As far as the language that you need, If the ROM does not include it, you could try @morelocale" maybe . Im a noob too ....lol

I hope this help you

Have fun :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] MultiLayer:
Which alternative ROM is the best?

I've tried most of all the ROM that are still available... I wished they got something close to a gingerbread level but the ones available are pretty good.

I've had similar problems of stalling because I'm using ITE VPAD 7 but it is manageable. The only one I really like is the kwbr rom and the EU ITE version because I have ITE screen. There is a new ICE but can't seem to download it to try it out. :mad:
