RadioFM not all phones support it. For example I8750. Perhaps, Ativ Neo include RadioFM, I don´t know
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] MarioOrlando:
Hi.

Thanks for your experience sharing.

What about the saved data? Are they gone? Or did they stay?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Rotry83:
Lost only applications. I have always saved all an externalsd.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djadry:
I updated via OTA...

No FM and no data sense.

Why isn't FM supported?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
FM Radio is supported for ALL WP8 phones after GDR2. I'm assuming that it isn't included in that particular operator variant package. It will probably be slowly rolled out in segments.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
I have an Unlocked Ativ S, I updated last night, I got "Data Sense" after a reset but I didn't get FM Radio.

In my Music Hub, I can't find the "Radio" option.

Are you really sure FM Radio is supported for all WP8 ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Microsoft hasn't specified that any WP8 phones would be left out of this. In this case, the ATIV S I8750 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus SoC chipset. This chipset has BT, WiFi, GPS and FM radio integrated. This happens to be the SAME chip that the Lumia WP8 devices are using.

EDIT: Also did you try hooking in headphones? I wonder if the option is disabled unless you have headphones in at the time.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
Yea I tried hooking in the headphones.

As far as I understood, Ativ S doesn't have the WCN3660 chip required for Bluetooth 4.0/FM Radio.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
The S4 Plus has BT/WiFi/FM integrated in the chip. SoC = System on Chip.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
It's pretty clear to me what SoC is.

The point is : it seems FM is not integrated on the chip used to build Ativ S.

What I can assure you is I don't have FM Radio. :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Hmm. I don't know then :). You could be right about that missing chip. I just went based off of what I read about the phone and the chip from Qualcomm's website. Has anyone else with a Ativ S I8750 gotten FM Radio with the GDR2 update?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
Not so far :/
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djadry:
If that chip is part of the SoC, Ativ S can have FM radio!

I think that GDR2 allows FM radio, but the manufacter has to enable it on it's device...

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If you have v...327.77, you already have GDR2.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] mcosmin222:
Those who have issues installing drivers on windows 8, this is because these drivers are not digitally signed by MS, and win8 does not accept drivers that are not signed, unless you change it to.

Is there a way to flash Lumia 920 FW/SW on Samsung Ativ S am after the Nokia apps?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
No, absolutely not. Cross-flashing ROMs is almost always blocked, and for good reason; it's an *excellent* way to brick your phone. One of the only ways I know of to reliably brick a Windows Phone device, actually.

On the other hand, accessing the apps from other stores is actually easy; just use a proxy. There's a ton of information about this, on XDA and elsewhere. Please search before posting.

confused

When I look at my rom it says:

PDA = I8750XXBME1

PHONE = I8750XXBME1

CSC = I8750OXABME1

default CSC = BTU

so it says OXA is CSC, but also BTU......

Should I download and install the BME1 rom, and then choose BTU? :confused:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
What is your reason to flash the phone?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Darkjamzi:
The reason is, after installing all available upgrades and software from Microsoft and Samsung, somehow the camera no longer works. When I press the camera app it shows a black screen or goes back to home screen.

I called Samsung and they said it was because during the upgrade something went wrong and did not install the camera properly.

They said I can either send it of to a Samsung service bureau, or ask for a replacement where I bought it. As this phone is 1 day old, I don't really want to send it off to Samsung so they will flash the software. I also don't want to get a replacement as I most likely will end up the same after installing the updates.

Samsung said it is best to install the updates using zune...... :rolleyes: Zune does not work wth WP8, so that is not an option.

So I want to flash it myself and see if this fixes the camera. :eek:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Yes, you can choose BTU in flasher. It's included in this ROM.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Darkjamzi:
thanks. Will reply whether it fixed the camera or not, as it seems there are more people with the same issue. :fingers-crossed:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Darkjamzi:
Flash went ok, but it didn't fix the camera.......... :crying:

unbelievable, the camera lasted just one picture :silly:

Hope the replacement phone lasts a bit longer. I feel like a fool now as I gave my SGS3 to my wife...... and she won't be giving it back :p

Question about Here maps.

Hello guys. I am new in the WP8 community so sorry if I say something stupid or it's already answerd. I have bought this Ativ S from a friend. The phone is unlocked, unbranded. It's working on any network here in Romania. My friend told me he bought it from UK but when I checked the csc it's a France one. The phone has gdr2. My situation is with here drive. I downloaded the app but when I try to run it a license error pops up. From what I've searched it has something to do wit the first network the phone was turned on for the first time. Is flashing a rom with Romanian csc solve the problem? Or is there another solution? I really need the here maps. For the rest the phone is working excellent. I'm not sorry I left the green robot behind. :)

thank you,

Two days after last flashing with custom ROM there is no 2G signal and 3G is very poor, so I attached external wire to service connection on the back. I did flashing again with and without custom and nothing. Diagnostic shows me an error

CSC version: ERROR

Current CSC: SER

Any clue how to fix it?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
It's a know bug. I don't know if it is even a bug or not. May be it's just side effect of flashing MBN. What accent color your phone had after hard reset (flashing)?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
There is a hack.

IT WILL CAUSE HARD RESET!!!

1) Check AUT (first CSC) here

2) Confirm Hard Reset

3) Check for updates. Now GDR2 must be avaible. Install it.

4) Optionaly you can change CSC back to NEE.

This trick is well tested, most SER users updated to GDR2 with it.

(And I'm its author :) )
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] AlvinPhilemon:
Or you can use this registry tweak without resetting your phone to get GDR2.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
Dear wolf I have a question :

do you know when phone start to update , where update files copy ?

I think there's a directory in System 32 or windows folder that every time we turn phone on WP check that for .cab update files

if there was some files it going to install them but if there wasn't it will boot normally .

Now if it is true we can copy GDR3 update files one by one with File System Access in this directory and at last we can find which cab *may* cause this problem in GDR3!

then we can update phone without that cab to GDR3 and then we had updated to GDR3 without any problem

Your idea?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Only ATO region updates to GDR3 release now. Use DevUpdates to get GDR3 Beta.

SamWP8 doesn't work because of new version of FCRouter. It's not clear now why custom CSC doesn't work on GDR3 release.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Luxon:
Imporance of CSC

Hi, thanks for sharing.

If I had XEN on my phone before I hard reset it on GDR3 Preview and got a black screen, what CSC do I have to use? Also, I see you have 2 versions of ROM on you SkyDrive. Which one you'd recommend?

If I live in Russia, would it be preferable to choose SER as a CSC or I MUST select XEN when flashing GDR2?

I kind of confused with all this CSC stuff, so I am asking to be on the safe side. I once turned on that direct FS access via USB without first asking ya guys and so I have to flash my phone, so I'd better ask now.

And yeah, by the way, would it be advisable to choose ATO as a CSC when flashing? I don't want to fool around with 8.x.512.x and GDR3 Preview, and would love to get the RTM for the Update 3 on my phone. What you'd recommend?

Thanks for helping in advance.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
BME is GDR2, another one is GDR1.

I think, it's better to flash custom CSC. Since it's SER, you have no problems with it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Luxon:
Wait-wait, I still didn't catch that. I had XEN before I hard reset the phone. What's best to do when flashing:

1. Don't specify the CSC at all

This will supposedly allow me to stay with XEN after I flash from GDR3 preview to GDR2.

2. Specify custom CSC and set it to ATO

This will allow me to get the official GDR3, but once I get the GDR3 I understand, I'll lose the ability to interop-unlock the phone, ain't it?

3. Specify custom CSC and set it to SER

This will make my phone look as if it's been made for Russian market; I don't see why I'd need it to, but maybe there's a reason.

What would you say?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Custom CSC has no ATO. If you choose SER, it'll have russian APNs in settings menu.

Gentlemen, I have a problem here:

When I click Start in the Flasher tool, I get the following message box:

---------------------------

Warning!!!

---------------------------

Partition information is Not equal.

Download all binary?

---------------------------

Yes No

---------------------------

What does this mean and what should I do? I am trying to flash from GDR3 Preview to GDR2.

Thank you.

To answer my question

:

For some reason (would somebody please explain?), I HAD to select the CSC. Before that, I had Select chosen in the Flasher tool and had the CSC checkbox not set. Now that I select All and chose XEH (which was my CSC code as I've seen before when my phone was still working), and flashing went fine.

Now the question is

: is it really necessary to ALWAYS specify the CSC code when flashing ROM? If yes, is it a must to specify original CSC code installed in the phone's original ROM?

Thank you,
