[Desire General] SokRatha:
Does anyone have ROM version 1.56.1402 of HTC Desire V T328w China Unicom, please share. I have this version install on my device (HBOOT already updated to 1.14.0002).

My current rom is error by missing notification bar when I try to instaff gapps_201204xx to the rom, and bacause I failed to make backup before flash, now I want to revet it back to original rom.

I have try to flash the previous leaks rom 1.35.xxxx, but have no luck by both using RUU or PL111IMG.zip. (even I have done reverted recovery back to stock and relock).

Please kindly help me.
[Desire General] bigjimmy546:
why don't you try to use the taiwan ROM, it comes with gapps
[Desire General] kingcedz:
it doesnt look like the taiwan ROM is flashable on mainland chinese version of t328w because of CID difference.
[Desire General] anfergainst:
That's exactly the point!

I am trying to flash a Taiwan version of the ROM. But becouse of this SID difference, I'm unable to do it.

Any good soul knows how to do it? Bypass, change or fix this SID difference issue?

Best regards,
[Desire General] bigjimmy546:
you need to flash a china version, then replace the rom and boot file with the taiwan rom
[Desire General] kingcedz:
what u need to do is the following:

1) *skip this step if your phone is still locked* if you have unlock your bootloader, you need to relock it using the same tool that unlocked the bootloader

2) download the RUU version of the original ROM. RUU_PRIMO_DS_ICS_40A_HTCCN_CHS_CU_1.35.1402.1_Radio_1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U_release_256137_signed.exe

address is here:

http://dl.dbank.com/c0ys4u58d7#

3) go into fastboot mode, and execute the RUU file.

4) follow the steps and your phone should be back to original factory states.

the thing to make sure: your bootloader needs to be locked to flash RUU.
[Desire General] SokRatha:
This instruction I have follow many time already, but no luck.

I guest this only work when our device not yet receive 1.56.xxx OTA update. When we receive such this OTA update, our bootloader has been updated to 1.14.0002 which is newer then the 1 in the ROM you suggested to me. Finally, the update is failed with a report "HBOOT is older, update failed".

Anyway, really thanks for your great time for suggesting. And till now I have found solution on this issue, is that you could use the, what they called mini-RUU of China ROM (it's also same version suggested above, without HBOOT, and some other part of image file). Using flash zip file method in recovery mode, it work and you need to update software after complete flashing.
[Desire General] SokRatha:
Could you clearly explain what to do?
[Desire General] Falseclock:
this is because old Kernel is used. I've got the same problem when played with roms on my device.

Try to unpack boot_signed.img from rom.zip of original RUU and flash it via fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

This should help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mersonix:
Hi,

I have a Verizon Droid Razr Maxx which is brand new and at 100% stock. I'll be living in the UK for the next 2 months and I leave this week so I need to upgrade to ICS for the roaming capabilities ASAP.

I've seen a bunch of guides on how to do this without using OTA but many conflict and the threads are full of users who complain about bricking. My last phone was a an HTC Droid Incredible which I rooted. I'm willing to root this, but time is limited and I want to avoid fighting with this and potential errors. Can someone give me a basic step by step (or links).

Thanks.

Here's what you MUST READ BEFORE YOU START --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590266

Well , before you start..

You need to root your phone.

Here's how you do it --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1046605

After you root , you need to unlock your bootloader. This is a risky thing and you might lose your phone.

If you do NOT unlock , you can still install custom ROMS but not all of them.

If you unlock your boot loader you can install any and every compatible kernel and ROM including ICS

To know how to unlock your bootloader (READ THE WARNING IN THE FOLLOWING THREAD) --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481630

Root , allows you to install custom ROMS (i.e custom Android versions)

Bootloader unlock allows you to install custom kernels (recommended if you want a stable ics)

There has been SO many helpful tips here. I even had "ThePooch" help me thru Teamviewer. We spent a good 2-3 hours trying everything that he knows to get the KF to boot. I have the Scorpn Jig factory cable. According to "ThePooch", my computer recognizes it thru the the factory cable and not a regular cable. We are even in the midst of booting my computer throught Linux mint to get this going. Next week sometime, we are going to try again, hopefully. We've gone through most of the ADB, command prompt, KFU options, etc... and still no luck. He was stumped as well. As a last resort, it appears we may have to utilize the firekit and open up the back of the KF. Any other help would be appreciated!!!

I don't have the SGS3 (yet), but my guess is that the battery is so large it takes longer to charge. Keep in mind that it's a 2100MaH battery. Depending on the power that the charger puts out, it could take longer to charge this battery than another phone.

I'm surprised no one has posted the correct answer to this yet. The wall charger Samsung has decided to include with the S3 NA is complete and utter crap. I believe it is .15amp draw. You need to immediately throw it in the trash and buy a new one. It is not a problem with your phone.

No problem, I bought a 100foot cat 6 ethernet from them for $12. They are really cheap while always having top notch quality on cords and some other stuff.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] franknozly:
doesn't that mean each USB port is 0.5 amps?

Anyways if I'm not wrong the amps has to do with what it can supply. Whether the device tries to draw that much power is up to the device.

The stock charger is 5V 1amp.

Even if you use a 2 amp charger it will likely only draw one amp.

Even if it does draw 2 amps that would mean you are increasing the heat associated with more current. Heat is the worst thing for battery life. Its always better to do slow charge unless you're in a hurry. Your battery will last a lot longer that way. Having said that, I think 1 amp is a good compromise for speed and heat.

p.s. computers output 0.5amps per USB slot by default specifications.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
correct, the device will only draw what it is built to draw. however if it doesn't have the circuitry to protect itself from over-current, it could cause a problem.....pretty much any consumer electronics today has safety built in

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rsbenedict:
I've not tried the default charger with the new sg3, but the epic 4g touch (sg2 on sprint) was extremely slow on the default charger as was the original epic 4g (sg on sprint). I switched to the pre charger back with the epic 4g and it charged much faster, as did the epic 4g touch. I used the default samsung cable, just switched out the charger. I rarely if ever charge via USB as it's much slower. I don't know what the amps are or the science behind charging. What I do know is the palm pre/hp charger takes less time to charge and for me, that's all that matters.

Same here. The OEM charger is 1 amp on my S3. My S3 does charge a little slower than my Nexus with the same 2100 mah battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] franknozly:
The fact that the nexus battery is older and has more charging cycles could account for that. Each time you go through a charging cycle, the maximum capacity drops. Naturally a new battery takes longer to fully charge than an older battery with less capacity.

The charger that came with my gs3 is 1a, not .75a as stated above. The difference between those two is pretty significant. My Atrix 2 charger was .75a and I used it initially to charge my gs3 since it was already plugged into the wall and what not but good lord it charged slow!
