[Touch GSM ROM Development] baustromverteiler:
hi chuckbert,

use this command to geht the exact size of partition you want to dump (first use pdo Cert_SPCS and EnableRapi on the phone to unlock your device if not done already)

1. pdocread -w -d MSFLASH -p Part00 -b 0x800 -t

output is something like this:

real nr of sectors: 638 - 1.25Mbyte (0x13f000)

then use

2. pdocread -w -d MSFLASH -p Part00 0 -b 0x800 0x13f000 part00.raw

to dump the rom to disk, you must change the 0x13f000 to in value 1. displays, then do this for all your partitions you want to dump, part02 is the OS (at least on my device) and I suspect part00 or part01 to be the bootloader but I don't know how to extract it from the dump, maybe someone could help?

I got in contact with the seller today and they're trying to get a english rom from the manufacturer ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chuckbert:
@baustromverteiler:

that´s exactly what i did *bg*

no problem to extract the os (part02.raw) but in the other files there is no booltoader :(

any further suggestions?

seems like the devices are kind of "related"...

regards

chuckbert
[Touch GSM ROM Development] baustromverteiler:
hm ... did you find any hints on how to extract the bootloader?

i searched the forums and googled but couldn't find any information ...

cheers, max
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chuckbert:
bootloader

try "safebootloader.exe or pmemdump...

hope you are more lucky, than i was!

Hi, stumbling into Elf territory here, but is this a clone?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....PageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005#ebayphotohosting

TOMTOP PS381 with WifI, 2GB max microSD (what's Elf max?), same TI OMAP chip, same ram/rom, just curious, as i keep looking at this and thinking it might be a good purchase for fun, but if anyone has any infos, would be good.

thanks, and sorry to hijack thread

[Touch GSM ROM Development] mcdull:
According to the forum in China, S1 is just the same as other Elf, once it is Super CID, you can flash any rom.

try this after you have unlocked.. this is copied from another thread from this forum but I don't know the actual source..

Elf SD Card flashing

This page describes how to upgrade your Elf ROM using an SD Card. This is useful for:

Linux and Mac users: you don't need windows to upgrade the ROM

ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem

1、Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).

2、Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.

3、Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.

4、With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).

5、confirm flashing on screen by pressing the volume slider down.

6、Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.

SuperCID devices are able to flash any NBH image using this method.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bkf1:
So and what can you do when your OS on this clone doesn't boot, hard-reset is not working and CID is locked of course? I tryed classic hard-reset method what is working on original Elf but not on this Elf-clone? I only can get into bootloader... so I think I need original Elf-clone ROM... I haven't any :(

EDIT: My forum-friend had looked to the manual and find how to Hard-Reset DOPOD S1 so there it is:

press volume up + press camera button + put your stylus into reset hole for 1.5 second then release stylus but keep pressed buttons "volume up" and "camera" until bootloader screen appears.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] SoundSurfer:
I've also bought a Touch Clone from China, but now its stuck at the windows splash screen...

Can someone point to a ROM file for these clones?

TIA
[Touch GSM ROM Development] acewonders:
I would greatly appreciate if someone else would do this too, and how do I unlock it, because I have a HTC touch clone or dopod s1 from china and it's in spanish. I would like to flash it to english.

Hi,

I realize this is an old post but hopefully you still got that phone.

I have the same phone and I bricked it. Was trying to put custom recovery on it and accidentally deleted my backup.

If you could dump your firmware and share it I would be very grateful and would continue to work on a custom recovery for it.

But without that firmware you got, my phone is just a paper weight.

Could you help out ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSSTesting:
I ordered a S40+ from Wish but they sent me a piece of junk (nothing like the one I ordered). Needless to say, I can probably pull the stock Firmware. What tool can I use to interface with the phone and not brick it?
[Google Chromecast] Jojo524:
hello, I'm not box so I connect my Chromecast sharing data on my phone. but it does not work if I disable the 4g of my phone, chromcast goes in search of network.

If I install Euroka I could connect without internet to broadcast movies that I already have on the phone?

thanks hoping to have been pretty clear with google translation

Edit. just disable the 4g when the screen is connecte it's ok.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 3dd1:
Hi all, some help please, my wife has done something to her XZ1 compact, it's running pie and since then the Google widget has played up, just showing a blank widget where it was. She's tried to fix it herself, she said she force stopped, she thinks chrome, though not too sure on an attempt to fix it, though she's not tech savvy. I had replaced the widget but it was still playing up.

Here's the problem, it's now bootlooping, going to the Sony boot image, then the powered by Android, then goes to a black screen with a triangle that has a spanner and screwdriver.

I've tried holding the power button and also down and power button to no avail, any ideas please?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sadnes:
hai

i would know who is the better the diamond or iphone 3g and why and what is more easy use, and ther is alot of diffrent ???

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andrewloh:
i think diamond is better with size.

if you talking about OS and UI, Microsoft is far left behind Apple since Macintosh age in 198X.

However, how come MacOS better than Vista so much but still most people using Windows ?

If you had ever tried an iPhone, you will know how worst to copy files from PC to iPhone using iTune...

In current stage, if you need me to choose again, i am still 50 50.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
I saw the iPhone 3G had been announced earlier, and I realised it has a pretty good spec. Wouldn't mind picking one up on eBay. Wouldn't need unlocking as I'm on O2, and it does have a really good spec. Except for the camera, it's got everything I need. Also, the Samsung i900 is pretty damn amazing. Take a look at it.

Rory
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] be_vigilant:
the iphone has a crap camera 2meg not upgraded since the original iphone. The camera in the original iphone was terrible.

Also is it true the Iphone 3G has no front mounted camera so you cant do video calling?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
Do I use video calling? No.

Did I take out my K800i when I had a Touch/Athena to take pictures? Yes

Will I do the same with iPhone 3G and P1i? probably, if I do get an iphone that is.

If the i900 has a capacitive touch screen will I say **** iPhone? Yes! :P

Rory
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
yes it dont seem to have a frontcam

it got a much bigger screen but with a lower res then diamond

non of them got sdflash support

only diamond can work as modem for laptops or pc's

one issue imho with iphone is that to make applications for it one have to run macosX så windows owners cant easy do that so unless it gets really big some developers may stick with wm

imho then ipod touch is an ipod with touchscreen and os with wifi internet browser and iphone is an pod touch with phone

and the new one is with a 3g phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SolusCado:
Maybe the rest of the world is taking pictures with their phones in different places than me, but despite the 2MP camera on the iPhone vs 3MP elsewhere, I have found the iPhone camera to be far superior to any other camera phone I've ever used... And I've been through half a dozen at least. Light sensitivity on the iPhone yields decent photos even in dark bars, and great 'snapshots' during the day. Every WM camera phone I've ever had yields nothing but 3MPs of blurriness in the daytime, and of black pixels at night...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BrotherNov:
What about synchronization with MS Exchange? This is critical to me, and even though activesync has it's flaws, it's been around a long time and I can always make it work. Am I correct in assuming that the 3G iphone just recently added this functionality? Does anyone besides myself have concerns about how it will work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Why are you lot arguing over the camera? The Touch Diamond has the iPhone beaten. All Apple have done with the iPhone 3G is introduce features that have been in Windows Mobile for ages, and upgraded it to 3G. Notice how they spent far more time comparing the new iPhone to its predecessor rather than competitors (unlike when the original iPhone was announced)? That's because everyone else has caught up in terms of hardware while Apple have been playing catch-up with their software.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Marcos200:

NOTE: left 2 days for my htc diamond arrive..:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nphil:
Apple locks up the iPhone, wont let unsigned applications run on it and releases an SDK with ****ty restrictions and then claim their device to be rock stable.

If you're cool with that, go for the iphone. If you want a little more freedom, go for the diamond or wait for android based phones!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mub786:
I will go for HTC, use to have iphone its only thing you can do is via itunes, you have convert every thing in itunes to play, bluetooth is only works with handsfree.

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] gpvecchi:
What colors of Pixel 4 did you chose and why?

I went for black, as I hate warm colors like orange (the mint prototype was amazing1), and I would like to hide that horrible iPhonish camera. BUT I discovered that black is glossy and not matte...
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Alcolawl:
For the first time in my life, I chose a White phone. Something about the black edges but the matte white back really stood out to me. Additionally, as you discovered, the black's glass is a glossy finish. Looks nice, but would show scratches and smudges when dust and whatnot inevitably gets in there. As for the Orange, I think it looks unique, kind of like what OnePlus did with the 6T McLaren Edition, but it wasn't for me. Just got my phone today and I love the way it looks.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] KHANrad_SIN:
I hard a hard time choosing between the black or white one. I ultimately chose the black one because I figured although the black is glossy, it's easier to get a matte skin and slap it on there. I'm the type to always be changing how my phone looks so I feel like one day I might be feeling a glossy phone, at which point had I gotten the matte white one it would be hard to find a glossy/glass like skin. I REALLY like the matte white contrast with the black frame but since I got the black one I can just get a matte white dbrand skin and this way it matches the white power button too. Not too much of a fan of the orange power button. In your case you could also slap on a matte black skin.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
I went black because is one of my favourite colours.

But also because is symmetrical

I prefer glossy glass because of the grip. But I use a case so doesn't matter.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Got a clearly white one, I've always been an "all black" user but I love the contrast and the effect it makes on P4. Also that matte finish looks good.

Like it was said, a matte black skin could solve the fact that the black version is glossy. I got a dbrand for my Pixel 1 two years ago, never had a problem
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I've always had black phones until I got the almost pink last time around. This time I got the orange one simply because when I pull the phone out of my pocket I want everyone to know I have the new Pixel 4 and crowd around me. Excuse me folks, ladies first.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] palexr:
Went for the orange one. I've had black phones the whole time and just wanted something different.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] gpvecchi:
I preordered a matte black skin. It should look like a matte black phone, back it's quite flat...
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] rndinit0:
Black, went with full body skin from clearcoat (mobile outfitters) available worldwide.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] skip24ftlb:
Really wanted the orange as it was the same shade force 10 use on their tents !!! My favourite brands of tent !!!

However ended up with the black due to the orange not being available in 128gb in the UK..

[Samsung Galaxy M30s Guides, News, & Discussion] andreidi:
It's a pain in the a$$ with the Samsung roms full of bloatware sh1t. I just bought this phone for it's great hardware specs, after using a Lenovo K6 Note for about three years. I remember the old galaxy mini being full of bloatware, but I thought hey a consistent period of time passed by and they improved. But no, it's even worse. I can't wait to install back Resurrection Remix on this phone the same I had on Lenovo and it was super lightweight and with lots of features and customizations, more than stock samsung rom from this phone. I am using the big list, but I have a lot more to remove, even system services I don't use. So it's been about a loooong day until now searching for every app on google to find out what it does and if I really need that, then uninstall it and reboot and test main features. And the rom has so many stupid things I really removed but the related option in settings is still there and if I tap it I get errors, for example the memory and system cleaner that automatically cleans stuff. I hate it, I can clean my own sh1t myself. Also Samsung themes where nothing is for free, I would never pay for themes!
[Samsung Galaxy M30s Guides, News, & Discussion] novator83:

You can google them and find the "com.blablabla" correspondent.

Root not needed when uninstalling through ADB. But this way you still have the apks in the system, so that will take space from internal memory.
