Sorry guys. I tried to follow all your instructions. bosjo provided me emergency ROM and today I was trying to flash my "brick" with it. It sounded reasonable to me. Maybe, this is because of my XDA II experience, where ErEdit solved all problems with any ROMS.

Tomorrow I'll continue my attempts only with original imate ROM.

So in few words I'll claim main principles for recovery.

1. Use only imate ROM.

2. Use xda3nbftool for decoding

3. Create fix.bat trying to guess right combination of model, carrier and model (about 12 variants).

4. Use this bat file on fresh copy of ROM.

5. First of all try to flash without radio

Right?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Well for me you only have 2 options if and only if what you have told us is true.

1) Based on what you device told you

xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so VODAP102 ms_.nba

xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so VODAP102 nk.nba

xda3nbftool -sd PH20B -sl GER -so VODAP102 radio_.nba

2) Based on what your devicedata told you.

xda3nbftool -sd PH20B2 -sl GER -so VODAP102 ms_.nba

xda3nbftool -sd PH20B2 -sl GER -so VODAP102 nk.nba

xda3nbftool -sd PH20B2 -sl GER -so VODAP102 radio_.nba

OH YES and the rest of the script as well.

Flash it with the radio, just like it says in wiki, then follow wiki for the upgrade using the radio 1.06.02 the file is this one.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co.../BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship/radio_.nbf

And PLEASE PLEASE read what the Fix.bat gave you as an error in the dos window.

1. Use only imate ROM.

http://www.clubimate.com/Support/PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe

2. Use xda3nbftool for decoding (in the extracted dir)

3. Create 2 fix.bat using the text as above (and the rest of the text as well)

4. Use this bat file on fresh copy of ROM. (open a DOS window to run it out of the same folder)

5. Flash it with the radio just like the wiki text. then do the upgrade as per wiki.

In alll just like wiki

I think that I have to make a huge donation to xda-developers

The only thing I am confused with is that device shows WWE during booting and I think this can be reflected in new unreachable devicedata.txt

Will test it today though
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] BoSJo:
Well you previously wrote that you can launch applications, can you start->settings->system->Device information and see the info in here?

Might give you a clue as to what happened. Not saying that the information in here is 100% accurate as to what’s really in the device, have seen myself that Sprite Backup actually is able to produce other info in this dialog box, and the boot screen, so some off it is just written in the registry.

But give it a go if nothing else works
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
What you see is what you get!

This is what it has found NOT WHAT IT WAS SHIPPED AS.

In order for you to fix it, you must tell the device that it is using an upgrade from the same carrier in the same languge on the same devce.

The application does not care but what it does but IT DOES CHECK what the devce was. Thus you have to fix it.

I have GER device with WWE Rom and I always as in always have to tell it that its GER. My sim is not the same operator but I STILL HAVE TO tell it that I am T-Mobile. Its what it wants and as I like to do an upgrade in 1 hour..... I am a good boy and just do it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] commentator:
I am really sorry, but two options provided by MDAIIIUser give only country id error.

I think (as bosjo) that during first upgrade data were wiped and than the new devicedata was written.

I cannot get to settings, because i have very strange set of points in start menu such as windows, storage, profiles, my documents and so on. Nevertheless, device tells me all messages in German.

I also noticed 2 strange things.

Even after hard reset device doesnot give me the set of standard procedures such as calibration of the screen and copy/paste exercises. It simply boots and report in German about errors (not finding components).

I guessed that during last death update the set of components was from different ROMS and set for different carriers and operators. Device was halfway to death, so he did not contain any data and therefore it was possible to perform such incorrect update. But now who knows what is in devicedata. Are there any alternative meyhods except described in wiki (I will try all reasonable combination anyway).

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Well you are not the only one! so am I

Ok you get a country code error, when, in the fix.bat or when you run the BaUpgradeUt.exe ?

Please confirm what rom you are using.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] commentator:
I use imate ROM.

I create fix.bat as described. When I launch it in DOS mode it shoes that checksums updated...bla..bla...bla

Then when I launch baupgradeut I get county id error.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
well you are going to have to run it a few times with the logical options of

WWE, GER, ENG keep the rest of the settings the same.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] commentator:
Well, this is exactly what I am going to do.

1. model PH20B and PH20B2

2. languages ENG, WWE and GER

3. Operators VODAP102, BRIGH001 and some kind of T-Mobile (T-MOB001 and T-MOB101).

I found right now the update from witch the radio was taken. It was BA_TMDE_12201_182_10600_SHIP.exe

I asked him what did he do with this file. He answered, that he tried to decode radio the same way (fix.bat). I think that he encoutered error during this decoding (I checked that the password is wrong), but flashed this radio anyway.

The question is follows - what is the operator name for this update. In Versions table it is T-MOB001 and in forum I see T-MOB101. What is the right one?

2 tupisdin - out of area. Will try to call later. Sent you an SMS.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Well at least he can find an upgrade that I have never seen.

May be he can post were he got it from so that I can update wiki.

Stay on one issue at a time, you need to fix the country code issue first before you move onto the rest.

Try to drop the -sd and just use the -sl GER -so VODAP102 switches.

BTW T-MOB101 this is the german t-mobile as in what my phone is, his should be VODAP102

They have much in common, but bosjo noticed some guy, that wiped all headers in his Blue Angel device, but was able to recover. Please, could you provide me the link to this topic, because this situation seems very close to mine.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Yup I can rember that post, he ended up creating a fix bat that went throug ever combination of operators languages to solve the problem. Never did read if he did.

Mean while I found one of my own posts as I ended up with the country code error. Never got an answer.

There was a patched version of update utility for Himalaya that did not check operator/device ids. There is a patched utility for BLueAngel, but it is not released to public because it is easy to destroy any device with it.

Hey guys, so here's my first post, lol and I apologize if this is in the wrong spot or area.

Just wanted to show off a few images of the beta Google Play software with android 4.3.

Google basically did what Samsung should of done in the first place- debloated it.. But also made it Aosp along side and partnering with Samsung for the development.

I've added the screenshots which are achieved with power button and volume down hold.

By the way the home screen is my custom creation and does not come with this back ground or clock.

Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good solution for me.

I'm going on holiday for a week in a house with no electricity. I need some kind of a device that can charge my two phones and 1 Ipad.

It is possible for me to recharge the device a couple of times but I would rather not.

I have been looking at UPS solutions, but found none that I can be sure will charge USB devices.

I was thinking a modification for a car battery, but have not yet found a solution.

Maybe a +30.000 mah but they all seems to be fakes.

Can anyone recommend a good solution?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

my phone get little wet. Water didint get inside though. And immediately i pull out the battery

Inside everything was quite dry, I took phone into pieces. (stickers are white)

But after all when I turned it on the touch is not working ;/ I do not know what could go wrong there? Digitizer looks like it is made from one piece and I would thought that it is waterproof, there is nothing to damage? Or I am wrong? Connector is also fine from both sides, and It was completely dry.

Any ideas?

There is a way to get back my contacts from phone now? And maybe some data?
[HTC Desire S] petru.tomsa:
I had same problem, I refresh first recovery and I put not touch, old version of recovery. After I flash rom again, and after recovery touch 4ext and phone was again ok. Try.

Nope, doesn't work ... Actually I can did also a backup (image) of the rom, but how I can extract raw data from there? Like contacts etc?

Ok phone is working. I changed the touch screen with LCD. You could ask why LCD? :) Because dissasembling it again I broke it a bit...

and I paid 50 euro for everything, quite expensive comparing to used working phone but... whatever, I am happy that is working now

I am just curious why this oryginal touch is not working? There is no any visible damages and water couldnt go inside.. hmm
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Water can get inside very easily. Even if you can't see it, a tiny amount of liquid in the membrane between the two layers can stop it working. I work with EPoS sytems (touch-screen cash registers) and the amount of screens I have to replace because of liquid damage is incredible.
[HTC Desire S] terragady:
hmm now I am facing with the problem that battery drain is much higher then before (before changing screen+touch). Why it is behave like this?

Maybe I should do some calibration or so after changing those components? But touch i accurate and just fine so I do not think that I should calibrate it.

Here is a guide to install the samsung apps that you want to your phone.

This isn't everything. Just the ones that were not included with Scotts CleanRom. I need a dev or others to help me get other APK's like for camera and dialer.... things that were already installed on clean rom. - but this should work for some others.

I am no developer, just a flashaholic. if someone can go through these and help me pick out the ones that are "needed" and add others, it would be very much appreciated.

This works with adding SOME other apk's as well

1. Download the zip - HERE

2. Extract the zip

3. All Samsung Apps -> System -> App

4. Delete the apk's you don't want

5. Archive the Meta-inf and System folders

6. Reboot and flash the new zip

7. GOLD!!!!

8. help a dev and donate to them or at least THANK Them

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wargzam:
wait a sec. am I reading this right? I thought it was impossible to put samsung apps on AOSP because of the TW framework.

Does this mean we'll be able to use samsung's camera on the google edition ROM (once OP gets the APK)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] squshy 7:
The Google edition firmware is not AOSP, it is, for lack of a better description, TW firmware without any of the TW visual frameworks or assets. In this sense, think of TW as Samsung's compiled android code, not a UI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wargzam:
Holy balls. That is kind of a dream come true then...best of both worlds! I'm definitely going to be flashing this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] squshy 7:
This is kind of what we've been clamoring for for a long time, yes: optimized Samsung kernel/code, AOSP app/visual framework. It still doesn't quite solve the timely updates issue, as so much of that is muddled by OEM testing, and especially in this country carrier testing, but it's a step in the right direction, because the amount of app/framework development for a newer version is cut down by only having Google apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] illmatic`:
Ive loaded a bunch of custom roms on my phone and would run benchmarks before i restored my apps with TB. I got the usual scores that a S4 should get. After i restored my apps with TB, they would go down drastically...around 9000 points less on antutu and 1000 less on geekbench. I know benchmarks don't really mean anything, but i am curious as to why this would happen. I don't know if it would be bottlenecking while playing heavy performance games either. Anyone know why this would happen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fafaffy:
The main reason your phone slows down is because many apps tend to run in the background without you noticing.

For example, a bloatware app like S Health would have to run in the background in order for the pedometer to work, and things like facebook may run in the background in case you get a new message or something.

With each app running in the background, it starts taking up your ram, and may use some of your CPU, lowering your benchmarking scores.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] illmatic`:
Thanks for the response. Well, i get what you're saying, but im on a rom that has taken out alot of that kind of bloat, and i wouldn't start any app after i have restored them before i test the benchmarks. I look at whats running in the background and its pretty much the same as before the restoration. I think many here after they set up their phone the way they want with their apps and stuff get the same scores, lol. its just weird in that regard.
