What is the legality of posting ROMs? Some other sites are blocking me from posting my HP4700 rom to help a guy out who needs the original. They claim it is illegal.

So, If you don't mind I will post it here?

https://www.moriahsweb.com/ipaq.rar

FYI, this place is amazing. I am thinking about getting XDAII again just so I can use this site again. Granted the VGA of the 4700 is awesome but it is just not as fun as all playing with all the hacks and modifications of the XDA.

Any one have any input on the legality of posting ROMs? I am quite interested.
[General Topics] Fresh Freddie:
Hey, my first post too :D

It's a good question.

Although I only installed an official i-Mate ROM at the weekend I don't remember if there was a licence agreement to click through when I ran it.

My guess is that ROMs are copyrighted software not for redistribution but I look forward to seeing an informed response.
[General Topics] Little Mo:
Well here is some of the EULA

The EULA specifically says "The SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold." which I interpret as if you have a license for your device then you are legally entitled to use the copy. Plus Section 3 also stated that if the "download is labled 'For Recovery Purposes Only', you may install one copy of such DEVICE Software onto the HP iPAQ as a replacement copy for the existing DEVICE Software and use it in accordance with Section 1 of this EULA."

So if I am posting for the specific reason to be able to restore a device to its factory state it should be legal right?
[General Topics] Fresh Freddie:
I'm an accountant rather than a lawyer, but I would ask 'which download' ?

Is that saying that you can upload here with specific label to say "For Recovery Purpose Only" or is it saying that the ROM you downloaded from the operator / manufacturer site already has that restriction ?

Does it say anywhere that you can redistribute to others for recovery purposes only ?

This question fascinates me, but I apologise for boring others

:roll: :wink:
[General Topics] Little Mo:
Here is the actual paragraph

3. UPGRADES AND RECOVERY MEDIA

DEVICE Software. If the DEVICE Software is provided by the manufacturer separate from the HP iPAQ on media such as a ROM chip, CD ROM disk(s) or via web download or other means, and is labled "For Upgrad Purposes Only" or "For Recovery Purposes Only", you may install on copy of such DEVICE Software onto the HP iPAQ as a replacement copy for the existing DEVICE Software and use it in accordace with Section 1 of this EULA.

So this might be telling me that only the manufacturer can provide the Software? Maybe my providing the ROM falls into "other means".

Mostly I don't care if it is "legal" I am just trying to figure out what makes the other boards I posted on have a hissy fit.
[General Topics] Fresh Freddie:
I don't think so.

Nowhere does it give you permission to redistribute, which is why other forums worry about getting sued.

I don't care either but we all know how these companies operate.

Hi,

When I start Google goggles the screen gets stuck on the first frame the camera sees. This is without me taking a picture or anything, it sticks to the first frame when the camera starts. The rest of the app works fine, I can close it, open settings, ... it doesn't completely freeze. When I open the settings window and close it again, the screen sticks to the first frame after closing the settings window.

All my other camera apps works fine, it's only related to google goggles. I didn't have this problem with the CM 10.1 20130707 build. I tried to reinstall the app, reboot my phone,... I searched for similar problems but didn't find anything helpful.

So does anyone has the same problem ? Is it a bug in goggles or a CM 10.1 bug ?

Hi

I have just updatet my PAC rom from 22.01 to 23, but it only shows a flickering blue screen, only solution was to pull the battery and reflash another rom.

I flashed 22.3 and is working like a charm, except that WIFI will not turn on, several places mention it is due to kernel problems, but i can not figure out witch kernel to flash??

If i go back to 22.01 WIFI works fine.

I would love to go to 23, but can't find anything that would solve that.

Anyone?

you could flash any firmware you want with the flashtool and root it afterwards

As stated above, you could update to the latest firmware via flashtool if you wanted to. There are various posts with stock firmware available in the general section. Then it would be possible to root with DooMLoRD's tool.

I have come to notice tmobile isnt updating the firmware...I belive we are two updates behind. My buddys att s4 just recived its THIRD update. It included new camera firware and many enhancements. So has verizon and sprint....anyone know what tmobile issue is? I called both butbof course there is no info...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] luckychef28:
Couldn't agree more. This is starting to piss me off. I said in another thread that it seems T-Mobile has been extremely concerned about building it's customer base, but is screwing over those customers after they've signed up. To not have received the app to SD update yet is BS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TravisAntonio:

Yeah it been 3 weeks mate since the app2sd firmware update. Im getting annoyed. But the phone still is pretty sweet I cant complain. In my opinion I think T-Mobile might be waiting on the 4.3 why send out multiple updates when you can kill several issue and add many enhancements with just one update? Idk either way im getting tired of constantly checking for THE update every day

If you guys don't mind losing wifi calling, then just go to the 9505 thread and flash that firmware. I don't use wifi calling so I don't mind. However, if you rely heavily on it, then I can see the issue

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HKSpeed:
I find carrier updates are mixed bag. I remember the last T-Mobile update on my old Galaxy Note 2 blocked the unlocking through the service menu, but also added LTE & HD voice calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TravisAntonio:
I would prefer a big update than a biweekly update and bugged.

Chances are its a big update (340+ megs) and still bugged, and took 3 weeks longer than everyone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deleted member 2747343:
yeah the updates usually block exploits like on the note 2 there was a trick to carrier unlock the phone with the stock firmware than tmobile released a update that blocked it ATT is worse though :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan03:
Maybe T-Mobile variant's Firmare isn't as buggy as other carrier's
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Agreed. And I feel that T-Mobile may want to push out 4.3 before everyone else so they might be focusing on that. Never really know. Plus look at all the other carriers, they're getting locked bootloaders, unrootable kernels etc. So we just gotta wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] luckychef28:
No offense to anyone, but I feel the "I'd rather wait for a big update because the other carriers are pushing out locked bootloaders" argument is moot. If T-Mobile is going to lock the bootloader it's going to happen no matter the update size or importance. If they pushed one out now and locked it we'd only have more time to crack it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jslim38:
I also think it will be one big update straight to 4.3 . Just hope that we dont loose the awesome features we already have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
I have a hard time believing we see 4.3 in the next few months. My wifes note 2 doesnt even have 4.2 yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxKINGxX2580:
I really don't think so. 4.3 is coming to the nexus first and then Google edition phones. And then a few months later they will push it out to the carriers. T-Mobile isn't updating the s4 because they're focusing on their new plans and features like jump. Which sucks for us. But whatever.

That theory makes no sense. Jump is totally a marketing deal. Android update to existing phones is solely a tech project. Zero overlap in the corporate structure of responsibilities. I don't know why they're so slow, but I'd wager Jump is not the cause.

I got to say I also think this phone is very buggy. I am abroad now and I can't use my S4 for Wifi calling and few other things due to constant Wifi problems.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] handman29:
I wrote the ceo of tmobile and of course I got the same lame response...they do not guarantee updates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I am using Omega right now, as i don't need WiFi calling here - but not being to use it overseas would be a major failure.

I also use WICKED for when I want stock features like WiFi calling - plus it may be the best overall TMo stock based ROM out there. Have nandroids of both, so not hard to go back and forth.

In addition, the lag I experienced on stock is greatly improved by using kernels like ktoonsez (note - you will loose a few stock items like smart scree if you use a kernel after his 6/10 one, as it is based on the new firmware we are waiting for).

But still pi__'d at TMo for still being so far behind the curve.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samnada:
My battery life is great. But Sammy did include the ability to swap batteries, unlike those other guys. Carry a spare, problem solved. But I agree TMO needs to be better at updates. Being last in line is not good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] holmesnmanny:
If they thought there was any chance people would be leaving TMobile because of the lack of an update they would be pushing the update. Since nobody is going to be fed up enough to leave and that most people are going to be paying for the phone for 24 months they know they don't have to worry about it. It's obvious they don't really have many people working on updates given that they are always many months behind, going by recent history so obviously they are saving some money on salaries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Always many months behind?

Wasnt t mobile the first carrier to get the first update for the s4?

You have no idea what you are talking about or what the reason the delay is. It could be a contract issue with that new secure encryption thing the latest update include for all you know.

Meanwhile if you want any of the planned updates just get a custom rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] handman29:
Mind you the first update and only update was a minor fix for tmobile bloatware...they have NEVER issued any update to improve processor flaws or fix some of lag issues...there is no excuse. . Nevermind the latest update lets talk about the last two we are yet to receive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cwalker0906:
I kinda don't understand about all the complaint about updates. This is xda ...we have access to dozens of Roms better then any update from T-Mobile. WiFi. Calling being the only complaint and there are apps in market for that. I'm already on 4.3 because of xda...learn and you will only need T-Mobile for their towers and price not software. Or go get the boot loader locked update from att or Verizon. Maybe just maybe the delay is cause they don't want the boot loader locked cause they are the uncarrier...just sayin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] holmesnmanny:
I'm not interested in rooting my phone because I'm more interested in keeping my warranty.

If they're always the first to give out an update why are they the only carrier not to push out this update yet ?

I don't really care what their reason is. The fact that they haven't pushed this all important update for app2sdcard is all that matters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
So then what are you complaining to us at XDA for? We have solutions for you here but you don't want to use them.

Okay, that is fine. But we can't solve your problem the way you want to with a t mobile update. So go to t mobile's web forums and complain there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxKINGxX2580:
If you don't want to root, then go complain about it to T-Mobile or Samsung. The s4 is already damn near perfect. All you need if you don't want to wait is a custom ROM.

Yeah yeah you don't want to void your warranty, but you can always return it to stock to send it in for repair.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samnada:
People may or may not leave at the next good opportunity, but there's no way to know how slow updates versus other carriers weigh into purchasing decisions. They've pushed the no contract option heavily, so the 24 month angle is diminished. TMO could be calculating it's not a big deal so it's not a priority, as you say, or there could be some other reason for the delay. I'm not unhappy with the S4. It's good enough that I'm not motivated to root and ROM, but the update is supposed to improve performance, which is always a good thing.
