[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cairo31male:
To update the extended ROM the EASY way:

1. Just copy all the contents of your working XDA's Extended ROM to your PC via ActiveSync or to an SD card,

2. Delete all the files in the Extended ROM of the device you which to upgrade,

3. Put the files you copied in step 1 in the empty Extended ROM.

4. Hard Reset.

That's it. You will have the desired Extended ROM, and you will notice that the version will have changed.

In case you do not know how to access Extended ROM through ActiveSync or File Explorer, have a look at the following post and download the ExtendedROMUnlocker.arm.CAB:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flinttownbrown:
I have gone through the method outlined in other various threads to get a dump of the AT&T stock firmware from Samsung Kies.

I do not know whether this can be flashed to our phones via ODIN. Others seem to think so [here] but I have not tried it, nor will I.

I do not know whether this can be used to do anything to a bricked phone. Perhaps someone with a brick can try using it.

I am posting this here for reference. Perhaps a developer can use it.

EDIT: I was able to successfully flash this via ODIN!

Hey guys,

I had tried to install xrecovery but it did not working

So i found this link (wonderful link!) but link is broken

plz give me link or file....

#sorry for english
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Just use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery, it's a matter of pressing two buttons in flashtool and follow the instructions.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sinnadla:
I had tried several times but recovery didnt intall

whenever push back button, it would stop at SE boot logo

So i ask ftf file..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
In that picture you posted it says you have to install xrecovery to install that firmware, lol

And by the way, it's an outdated version with probably the wrong baseband to isntall other roms succesfully.

What steps did you take to install xrecovery? Flashtool is not known to fail in that department.

For some reason, I was trying to put up a picture that I recently took from my S4, but it kept getting messed up, one was with black background and the whole picture was black. that's all. Then one was white so it was pixelated. So I told my friend to put it up and i Sent him it and he put it up on my account with no problem. Are any of you guys facing this problem? And if so any solutions?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abhi97:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gear79:
Try another pic of the same or something black, see what happens. If it happens, maybe something wrong with color recognition, doesn't this device have a setting for RGB in there somewhere? Too new now to know of common problems, good thing for warranty and forums like XDA !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abhi97:
Tried alot, and IDK and yes thank for warranties and XDA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gear79:
Sorry I couldn't be of much help, if it is just isolated to Instagram only, it may be app/device incompatibility would be my bets guess. However, with it running 4.2.2, that almost makes me think it is on the apps dev side. An update from Instagram may resolve it, or email dev of app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hollisterryann:
Ever since update I'm getting the same thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gear79:
Can you two provide a pic? I am on 4.2.2. (mind you, also on a SGS2), and I updated IG and I am not experiencing this. It may be device related, ruling out 4.2.2, but again, I am AOKP, not TW. Root that bad boy, the devs will have great ROMs for this beast of a phone.

One of the photos.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gear79:
Ok, what am I supposed to be seeing incorrectly here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abhi97:
Thats the image I was trying to put up, but it got pixilated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gear79:
But I am guessing that is the non pixelated image? I have seen that on two different compters so far, it looks normal to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toleraen:

[HTC One X] RASEVEN:
What does aosp based mean??
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Senseless roms based on pure Google source.

aosp stands for android open source project. Mostly means that there is no HTC sense shell added

So when you are on CM10.1 you need the aosp version of the xm kernel if you wish to try that.
[HTC One X] RASEVEN:
Yeah i saw a list with repacked boot.img. i dl'ed the latest cm version and the module.

Uh oh my WiFI and Internet dont work no more...seems to be a common problem. I could instal another ROM thats works better with this kernel, or?

That will be the kernel modules or the boot.IMG you flashed.

I would suggest using the snapshot rather than nightly.

Use an app called Helium. With it you can back up your apps to your phone, computer, or Dropbox. You have the option of backing up just application data, or both the appdata and the app.

When you launch Helium on the new device, you can just restore from the method of your choosing. It takes only a few moments before you have all your apps back as well as all of the applications' settings/data.

Or try using the Unlock tool stand-alone if you haven't already. Also try calling AT&T for an unlock code, hey it doesn't hurt to try!

Place the call and state "I'm switching carriers and would like to have my phone unlocked" and go from there!

Ive been looking around for the best price before I bought the phone and I came upon costco's website, they list the retail price as $579.99 which is the lowest Ive come across. However theres a slight problem. They wont let you order it at that price, they want you to go with the $199 contract deal.

However, you may be able to price match this through best buy or another store once they get the phones in stock..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:

Anyways if that route doesnt work for you, then like I said you can try getting another store to price match costco.

T-Mobile store is $629

Stopped in at the T-Mobile store near me today, mentioned I am prepaid and asked how much for the S4. He thought the S4 was $649, then looked it up and current price is $629 for the S4. He said they were told they would get the S4 no later than the 15th. They just got a demo S4 in this morning and I got to play around with it a bit. I was sure put off by the mock-up version of the S4 I saw at BestBuy. The real deal is much nicer in person. Anyway, he didn't give me any grief for wanting to buy prepaid and said they would switch my ginormous SIM from the mytouch out for me for free. They already received TONS of accessories for it (mostly cases). He said 3 out of the last 4 days he has been getting in S4 accessories.

I know this is an S4 thread, but since many are still trying to decide between S4 and One, the One is $579. And this weekend only you can get it for $100 off of that (via HTC rebate). Only (BIG) problem is they have no idea when they are going to get One stock in.

Hopefully this was useful info to someone.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DsturbD:
im confused? you can get the phone from Tmobile for 150 down and then pay 20 bucks on your bill for 24 months with no contract extension (you do have to promise to pay the phone off, so i guess thats the same). i know yo uend up paying 650 for it, but isnt that easier on your wallet? especially if you are a current customer or someone who cant drop 600 bucks on a new phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KyleK29:
I'd wait a month or two if you can. There's gouging going on in the market because of the stock availability. Plus, first run devices (I learned this on my last few phones) almost always have some hardware issues in large quantities - waiting allows for the hardware revisions to fix these. Amazon hasn't gotten theirs yet, to my knowledge.

Not to mention once the HTC One is available widely, the two will force each other down. The fact HTC is doing a $100 MIR to bring theirs down to $479, shows that the Galaxy S4 is going to have to drop quickly to compete.

Food for thought.

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble with my Htc Wildfire S. It's really long story. I decided to root my phone due to its low internal storage but i didn't succeed. Then i realized that my Android version is 2.3.3 and i decided to update it, i saw an update on my phone. After i updated, it no longer connected neither wifi nor usb.

But i know it's my fault. I didn't manage to update hboot(it's still 0.90), and when i tried to update it manually, by my SD Card, radio version was updated and htboot was always bypassed. i tried a lot but the program i downloaded from htcdev said my version is up-to-date(Error 190). When it said that, i ignored and went on my job. But oddly, when i change language option, my device then connects USB, yet i can't still connect wifi, which i can't even turn on and always says error. I tried to fix so hard that i didn't even study my exam i have this morning

Seeing that i am a newbie, please help be simply to get rid of this annoying problem.

And which did you flash first? Is your hboot still 0.9.xxxx
[HTC Wildfire S] bilgin6912:
Yes dude it's still 0.90, while flashing, it didn't update hboot, said bypassed, and updated radio. But i think the fiurst step in htcdev where we find our phone model to flash with an installation manager, there was an error 190. what i found said that i didn't have to try to update hboot anymore because it was updated. But unfortunately it didn't.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
Take the 2nd file and try to let the bootloader flash. Rename it pg76img.zip if its not already. This will hopefully give you s-off and allow the flashing of any radio.

It's not working dude, again and again, it's not updating hboot, says bypassed. :(
