[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aslolo:
At first, Hi from Germany.

This is my first post here on xda, and I have one or two questions about flashing sbf's.

1. The root for 2.3.6 is a modified sbf, which is flashable, how is this working?

2. How is the signature of an sbf or an .zip working?

Is it possible to extract and duplicate an signature?

Send from my Brain via telepathy
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aslolo:
Noone? :/
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
1.) The root for BL7 2.3.6 is a modified SBF. Root for BL6 2.3.6 is the same zergrush method... Dunno how they were able to repack without breaking the signature!! So dunno how its working. Basically all you need is to include the su binaries in system in the SBF(found in cg35.smg after depacking sbf and its a simple image)...

2.) Nope not possible to extract signature. Had it been possible there would have been big issues worldwide! Just imagine anyone being able to imitate any company's signature! That's the reason 2nd init is needed so that .zip s can be installed without moto having signed them...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aslolo:
And how are program's or whatever reading the signature?

What is the signed part?

Could you give me some links or something?

[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
two rezounds....same problem....

After i had the overheating issues and called vzw they insisted to send another rezound...so now I have two here...one with ics and one without....same batteries and everything

They both overheat the same.......EXACTLY the same.....hmmmmm....makes me think about htc devices....and its not the battery thats overheating...its the phone transferring the heat into the battery.

I got just above 51c and thats uh oh temps for battery on both .....absolutely horrid.

I love the phone but now the corp lady I talked to will have to do something about this..
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
what voltage batteries are they? 3.7v or 3.8v
[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
They are both 3.7...the paint on the batteries is melted too from the heat...you can see silver underneath
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
Well, if you can't get your phone to work, at least now you can use it as a grenade or something of the sort.
[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
hahahhahahaha yes....that would prob work...except I paid a lot of money for it so Ill let vzw do that
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Really am curious now what hardware revision those two phones are, if they share common parts, though it is merely speculation on what could be a cause.

Mind looking? It is the P/N code on the label under the battery, last line. Including letter(s) after a space.
[HTC Rezound] knights665:
Mine sometimes get hot but nowhere near what you are reporting
[HTC Rezound] dpham00:
That isn't too bad. I have seen 130 degrees F before.
[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
Im ok now...they sent me a gnex ...I know Im going to be happy with it ... The vzw tech even agreed the rezound has a crap battery but all is good besides that. Im gonna flash miui on my gnex and Ill be set to rock:D
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Hopefully you won't suffer from signal issues that many do with that phone
[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
I do hope so too...but they fixed them according to the 4.04 update....I think its 4.04 lol...but they fixed that
[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
They are both part number

99HNU001-00 XA
[HTC Rezound] devilsrogue:
It really seems funny both devices that I have are pcd 01/04/12

I wonder how long they sat before PCD got them and refurbished........quality control is bad these days.....
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Parts revision "XA" is the designation of all five units I've asked of people so far with extreme heat issues: your two phones, my first one, and those a couple of other users have.

I don't have extreme heat issues with my current "B" revision phone.

Companies change certain parts in the assembly lines over time to improve the product, e.g. make it cheaper to produce or more efficient. Sounds like a quality control issue in XA models that was addressed in B models and up (if any exist past B yet).

I suspect most anybody that has issues with the phone temperature going over 120F/49C and *staying* up there under moderate or light use, or gets to 131F/55C or more has rev. XA and is more likely to complain of overheating.

Disclaimer: I am no expert by any means and this is still all an educated guess at best. Just from personal experience, I could not find any software or firmware difference between my own XA and B models to account for the different performances in handling heat... Which leaves hardware as the cause.

HTC reps have even stated 120F is the max safe operating temp; that is when the green indicator light flashes. A case could be made that the entire XA line has defective hardware and replaced under warranty, if a poll of users should confirm this, or there is enough evidence from persons that have both models and can isolate all other factors.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
mine is XA as well and gets pretty hot, 115-120. Maybe its time to get an exchange.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Mine got hot on ics but not on gb.. You should just get a replacement and try hboot reset or you should go to the HTC test menu and do a battery test

*#*#3646#*#*
[HTC Rezound] kindwon:
overheating

I just received a certified preowned device and it could fry an egg with the heat it was producing. It also is an xa. One more thing is I couldn't get it a full charge after a whole night. They're sending me another one hopefully it won't be an xa.
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
I typed that in on my rezound, (stock/gb/non rooted or anything) XA part number device and nothing happened.....?

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

mine is XA and std and ext 3.7 batts and always gets hot after moderate use for 15min or so. i havent even used the "high performance" power settings in months because I don't want the phone to explode!
[HTC Rezound] googlelover:
I have a rev. B phone that overheats and dies pretty damn quick if you use it. Light web browsing would kick it up to 110-120 degrees, and drain the battery in a matter of a few hours games or anything else graphically intense could send it up to 130, and probably even 140 but I pull my battery before I let that happen.

What I thought was weird was my first replacement phone ran pretty badly too, then I stopped by a Verizon store and got my 3.8v battery switched for a 3.7v and my first phone ran a little better, but the replacement ran perfectly, until the charger port broke.

-.- 2 tries later and this phone is running perfectly, refuses to go over 115 under the most intense load, and the battery lasts for awhile. It's a rev. B phone too.

Seems to me you have to get the right voltage battery for the right hardware.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
XA with a 3.7 battery on ICS here. My phone gets so hot that after 10-15 of surfing, i put it back in my pocket and my leg starts sweating. 120F+

Although i shouldn't have to, i've learned to just use it in short bursts. Also, i did NOT have the overheating issues with GB. I just stick with ICS because it is easily 2-3 times faster than GB. I just keep a charger nearby.

Also, on GB, my standard battery would last me until I got home from work. On ICS, my extended battery barely makes it until lunch
[HTC Rezound] tantran:
My phone stats around 125 degrees constantly if I use it I get 2 hours tops and its a replacement phone I got friday

If you're running stock its likely an app you recently installed (given that its a recurring issue).

I only get 3-4 hours on the extended battery playing jelly wars which uses 800-1200 mah. What is wrong with my phone?!?!
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
I don't have an XA, XB, A, or anything after my p/n. After the first ICS leak, it started getting hot and going through the batt quickly, and nothing I've done has been able to change that.

I'm doing the exact same thing you're doing. Use it in short bursts, only. If I use it for any more than 5-10 mins, it gets hot. Also agree that I've been sticking with it just because ICS is so much more snappy than GB. And also my Mobile Hotspot works in ICS and does not in GB.

I'm about to RUU back to GB and see if I can get Verizon to send me a new one.
[HTC Rezound] SightSeeker:
Are you running ICS ROMS? Mine hit 140 on some of these leaks. Back on GB roms I don't go higher than 110 most of the time.
[HTC Rezound] tonictonic:
I have 2 rezounds, both revision B. No heat issues whatsoever. They idle extremely cool, around 80F, and during heavy use like 3D gaming or 4G streaming they hover around 110F. This is with a softcase on as well. All of my batteries are 3.7v.

Edit: Forgot to add that I'm running ICS leaks on both phones. One running CleanROM, the other alternating between PKMN and Newt's XxX.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
I was running the ICS leak, then CleanRom4.5 but I just reverted back to GB with an RUU and still have the heat issue. I returned it to Locked, S-ON to send it in for warranty. Hoping to have better luck with the next one.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
Heat issues have gotten better with the newest leak and kernel. I have an XA model. Not sure if that matters very much or not. My stock battery is a 3.8 volt and my extended batteries are both 3.7.

I will occasionally hit 130 or so but not all that often and only during heavy tethering.
[HTC Rezound] dabombcra:
Because I was having heat issues, it ruined two of my batteries. Verizon sent me a replacement phone and battery. Since I got these two, I has not had any issues. I was told that the bad batteries can cause the phone to heat up. I'm on my third phone. My second phone may have gone bad due to the batteries. Just a thought.

Sent from me Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
how to check for revision?

mine is 103 playing tower defense

and 110 playing tower defense and charging at the same time.
[HTC Rezound] tantran:
I hit 146 today can't put it in my pocket it's so hot and the battery drops precipitously
[HTC Rezound] tonictonic:
Remove the battery and look for the p/n below imei and s/n. It should say XA, B, or whatever other revisions are out there at the end of the p/n, separated by a space.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Verizon just told me the exact same thing. They sent me a new phone and said not to put my old batteries in the new one, as they could cause the phone to heat up, as well. I was skeptical but I did as I was told. The new phone is a "version A" and still rapidly heats up. Hovers around 110F if I use it to browse the web, Facebook, install apps, stream music, etc. And pushes 115-120 if I try to watch a show on Netflix.

Do I just need to accept this as normal behavior for the Rezound? If so, I may just see if they'll let me exchange for another phone.

Seriously I'm not feeling htc/att's tactics at the moment. Way too many issues already with this device and it hasnt even been offically released yet.

Real men don't cry over a phone not being there way. If you don't like it then choose a different device. Also send a letter to htc, not to a bunch of random people that can't do anything about the future of htc.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dduzanec:
Hi.

Since I'm new at this kind of thing I could use some advice from you smart people.

My firmware is still on Froyo, and I have been waiting for an official update on Kies for long time, but nothing happened. So I went checking today if it's available for my country (which is Croatia).

And it seems there have been 2 updates since Froyo: Croatia (T-Mobile) CRO – P1000BOJPD / P1000CROJPA (Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread

and

Croatia (T-Mobile) CRO – P1000BOJQ3 / P1000CROJPA (Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread

Considering I didn't get any update from Kies, I guess my tab hasn't been distributed by T-Mobile.... (i won the gadget on a game, so I can't realy tell for sure where it came from).

So can someone please help me with what firmware I can install by not using Kies?

Is the firmware by T-MOBILE for Gingerbread 2.3.6 usable for me?

The data found on internet for 2.3.6 are different from what I have in my tablet, so I realy need this advice.

Copied from a website for T-MOBILE 2.3.6 update, it says:

GT-P1000CWACRO

PDA: P1000BOJQ3

CSC: P1000CROJPA

Phone: P1000BOJP1

Download: P1000BOJQ3/P1000CROJPA/P1000BOJP1/P1000BOJQ3

And my tablet lists out this:

PCode: GT-P1000CWAVIP

PDA: P1000XWJMK

PHONE: P1000XXJMA

CSC: P1000OXFJM5

(This last three letters on my tabs Product Code: VIP makes me think the provider the tab came from could be VIP.)

Thx for any help I can get. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhazzon:
I've been running ICS for about two weeks without a problem. I just flashed the 5/4/12 ICS build today and it also seemed to work fine. I noticed that I still could not access the phone via USB. To determine whether it was a phone or PC problem I restored the DINC from my last Gingerbread backup. When I cleared the phone and restored my current ICS backup the phone boots to the splashscreen and freezes. I tried a fresh install of the ICS build, but it still freezes at the splashscreen. Any ideas or suggestions? I'm currently running my last Gingerbread backup for now, but really want to get back to ICS.

i can't mount sd-ex and when i install zip in show INSTALLATION aborted what i do now?

i follow these steps:

Installation Instructions:-

Power off your galaxy Y and wait till it vibrates.

Then go to apply update from sd card and then choose CWM Recovery.zip

Now to select install zip from sd card>choose zip from sd card>kernel Bangprovn#1.zip

Wait till the installation completes and then go to advanced and then select reboot recovery.

Now it would boot in CWM Recovery v6.0.49 and would show a number of errors. No need to worry

Well i was flashing a few different roms to test and see which one i liked better and when i went to flash back to the stock rom, accidentally clicked on the wrong thing and it just hard bricked my sgp:(

It wont turn on at all. The charge logo doesn't even show up when you plug it in. I just need to know if there are any ways i can fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jpfx:
happened to me too. the roms/file systems/procedures that are available for the 4.0 US are not infallible and can lead to a soft/hard brick.

the full restore appears to be faulty too, however it's quite possible that a working full restore might be available soon.

unfortunately, that leaves you with a well & truly dead device right now.

if you can get a warranty repair from samsung; well and good. I was able to return mine to the store and got it replaced - no questions.

to anyone else: wait for a working full restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
I saw a video on youtube of a USB "jig" that plugs right into the player (or any samsung phone, I believe) that they claim will recover from hard bricks to download mode so you can reflash. Check around youtube or maybe here somewhere apparently its just a resistor connected to certain pins on the usb connector.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nelsona96:
I just ordered a usb jig yesterday and when I get it ill tell you if it works. This is where i got it, its supposed to work for the galaxy player.

Its only $5.50 : usbjig (.) com Just take out the '(' and ')' in the link and it will take you to the website.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] RexKyle:
The same thing happened to me. What you need to do is instead of spending money on some device which is most likely a scam, you can just go into download recovery and flash from there. You said that you had been flashing roms before so you must have some experience with Odin or Heimdall. To get into download mode you need to power off your player, then hold the up-volume button while turning it on until a yellow triangle with a little android guy in it. Hook it up to Odin or Heimdall, by the way, I have no experience with Heimdall so I cannot really help you with that if thats what your using, and flash a different or a recovery rom to your device. May I suggest Klins Klassic R5 with SteveS custom kernel R3?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SGP4isokay:
First of all, the jigs that people have made or purchased have worked in countless situations and are well documented in this forum. Scam? I don't even know where to go with that. In my case both CWM and Recovery Mode were inaccessible without the jig. For less than $5 I was able to recover my device.

Try to get into download mode. If you can't get into download or recovery then picking up a jig isn't a bad idea. I was devastated when my Galaxy Player 4.0 seemed dead in the water but the jig got it to where I could connect it to my laptop and flash a recovery kernel, rom, and fortunately, a bootloader.

This is my experience

OP, do NOT copy what I did. What happened to my device does not look in any way similar to what happened to yours. I am linking my thread SOLELY to illustrate how much information I had to cough up to assist the fine folks of XDA to guide me towards a fix. XDA is awesome. Help them so that they can help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nelsona96:
When i said hard bricked, i meant that you cant do anything with it. It wont boot into recovery or download mode. But i already ordered the jig, like i said ill post on here if it works or not.
