[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Hey man I do this all the time. I am currently trying to get one of the themes to work on my setup. You need to take the card out of your phone and put it in an adapter and put it in your computer and replace the update.zip with the original. If you're unable to do this put your card in another phone and move the old update.zip there. This is easily fixed but you have to have another source to put your original update.zip on the card and run the process again.
[G1 Android Development] lovethexi23:
I just did the same damn thing and figured it would fix the problem if i could add the original update.zip file to my card again and ditch that theme.......glad im not the only one.

Only problem is that i came 20 miles thinking my card reader would work.....but it says write protected and wont let me save it to the memory card.....which sucks
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
do you have the original RC33 update on your card still, if so this might help but i haven't had to try it but others said it works. go into recovery and hit Alt+X then you should pull up the terminal, from there type mount /sdcard (it might work without the "/" but idk try it with the "/" first)

to make sure that last step worked you can type ls and see if "sdcard" is an available directory, if it is

then type:

rm /sdcard/update.zip (this should delete whatever theme it is that you were trying to install)

after that you should be able to type:

cp /sdcard/whatever your original theme is called.zip /sdcard/update.zip (this should rename the original if it is still on the card to update.zip and then you can try to flash it)

if the original is on the card and not in the root directory you will need to type the directory that it is in, for example on my card is is in /tools/roms and it is called update.zip already to save me a step, so for the last step i would type:

cp /sdcard/tools/roms/update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

once again i do not know for sure that this works i have another G1 that i use for developing and i place my sdcard in that one and hook it to the computer to do any moving of files. hope this works for you
[G1 Android Development] phil0s:
Haha thanks for the replies, I didn't save my original RC33 update on my card but that's a good tip for next time I may do this, and I probably will :S.

My card reader is going to arrive soon, hopefully I won't have the same problem as you lovethexi23, and I'm just going to reflash the RC33 update on my G1 again as jaygajay and dumbestcrayon suggested, thanks for all the advice.

I'll report back how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] phil0s:
Just a quick note, my sd card reader came and I fixed my G1.

Thanks for everyone's input.

I've decided that I like my default theme now :S :P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cb8rwh:
Hi,

I am trying to flash my first rom, but failing at the first hurdle. I try and enter bootloader mode (vol & power down) but the phone shows the tricolor with the white band at bottom, then, before I can get the usb cable in, proceeds to show a completely white screen with the word "Loading..." - and it just stays there doing absolutely nothing.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Cheers

Rich
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] davideuck:
Have you flashed HSPL before flashing the rom??

If not, flash HSPL then try to flash the rom, all will go fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cb8rwh:
Cheers for getting back to me, this is before I even get that far. I am following the instructions to use USPL, but getting the mentioned problem. I don't see how I can be doing anything wrong, but I must be, or there is some difference in my phone against others.

Cheers

Rich
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Hi Rich, If you are having problems with USPL, can you please post in that thread rather than starting a new one.

Problem just started on my Uni.

SD card will no longer stay in. I can hear the little click (though it doesn't sound as positive as it did) as it goes in, but it doesn't stay there - just springs out.

Anyone ever experienced this before?

Better still, anyone have a fix?

The Uni is useless to me without it.

Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Maybe you already done this: Have you tried with another sd card?

Still same?

If yes try to see inside to confirm that nothing is broken at simple view

I´m sure someone will come with a wiser sollution

Good luck,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kryogenik:
Hi - thanks for the reply. I've found replies are few and far between sometimes..

Yes, I've tried other cards. This latest one (the one I *think* may have broken it) is a legitimate 8GB card bought from a reputable high street store. A waste of damn time anyway because the Uni will only see 4GB of it, depsite doing something to make it see more not long ago (I forget what it was). I Googled the expansion slot problem and found a quick-fix. Add a layer or two of Scotch tape. The card becomes thicker and 'stays' in the slot. It works very well, but it's not my ideal long-term fix.

All that said, my brand new Universal arrived this morning (£60 GBP would you believe..) so I guess now I'll be reading up on how to flash the ROM.

I haven't flashed firmware on a Windows handset since my HTC Canary 7 years ago..

:o
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Well hope you can solve the issue!

Good to hear that you have a new Uni!!

May I know where you´ve got that great deal? and if possible I would like to buy one!

For flashing instructions read here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade

And personally I recommend you Tomal v.8.5 the fastes and stable 6.1!

Good luck!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kryogenik:
Hi again.

It was a UK eBay "Buy It Now" offer.

I was browsing Uni/Exec/SPV etc and refreshing waiting for a particular auction to end when this one just popped up with charger, new battery, leather case and 3 x stylus. It looks/smells brand new. Incredibly lucky I know.

Thanks for the advice on the ROM. I'm just reading through where/how/why and whatnot now. I have a G3 device so I think I can just go ahead and flash.

But as I say, I'm reaqding through the Wiki and the threads. I have seen others mention Tomal's ROM. I'm looking for as Vanilla as possible. This unit for me will ideally run TCMP as best as it can and Vijay's FullScreen along with terminal services. Everything else is a very distinct second priority. I have a Wizard I use for TomTom and a Nokia N95 for an everyday phone. This just needs to be a media player and a remote access unit for my desktop machine. Apart from a file explorer, I could pretty much do without everything else.

Thanks again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kryogenik:
Orb, that Wiki entry needs updating somewhat. There's loads of issues not covered there. The Tomal is a single installer and presumably doesn't need the programs mentioned (though it briefly mentions that at the end). There should be a distinction made there. Some ROM's need these programs, some are single installers, if so ... ... ... ... etc. Not some half-assed brief mention with no other instructions. I presume I just double click the installer in Bootloader and leave it to it???

It says I need to CID/EROM unlock but fails to explain what these are?! More searching shows that it's extended ROM and SIM lock that need removing. What point is there using acronyms for a supposed 'newbie' tutorial..

My unit won't run the EROM program complaining of needing a new NET framework.

This isn't mentioned. Not that you may get this error, what it is, or what you need to do if you do.

The SIM unlock won't run either. Once my unit is in bootloader mode and showing 'serial' I plug in the USB lead and it shows 'USB'. I run the SIM unlocker and it eventually says 'this is not for your device'. More searching and I find I need to be using XP to do this, not Windows 7 or Vista.

Searching about I see loads of people with similar problems. If the Wiki was updated, then when people pointed users to it, then it would do it's job (which is presumably to help people and prevent the forum being full of questions, which it obviously is..).

Looks like I need to get onto an XP machine and do some serious searching through the sometimes 50 page long threads before I risk bricking my Uni.

I'm more than happy to do research if that's what I need to do, but what's the point in promoting a Wiki if you have to ignore half of what it says and find out for yourself anyway?

Not a rant at you by the way. Just a post made from observations.

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Auzman:
Hi kryogenik!

I completely agree with you. My Uni came to me from uk with WM6.0, so I supposed it was unlocked and I made various flashes with no fear.

With a friend of mine Uni things were different: it had a stock WM5 and I tried reading wiki to get some answers, but the only thing I obtained was confusion.

I'm really not a newbie on computer systems, and I assure that the wiki has to be freshed out!

Turning back to the wm5 uni, I simply ran the executable from Tomal (8.2) and everything worked fine. So... what is really needed to?

@orb3000: when a newbie comes here asking for instruction on how to flash you always make a ctrl+c ctrl+v with wiki link... Why don't you try reading it with "newbie's eyes"? As kryogenik said, I won't attack you, it's just my thought... ;)

Cheers...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Yeah, as dear Admin said "Wiki is a strange place"

Why not try to post this request on the proper place on general section

"request to mods by users"

I think that will be the place to have an answer

Cheers,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kryogenik:
Exactly. There are some very odd ideas about what a tutorial is.

I'm hardly a newbie myself, but when there's something so valuable at risk it obviously makes sense for things to be right? Why bother otherwise.

Well, I've got the extended ROM showing. I can understand that needing to be done - perhaps the new ROM needs it writable. I can't for the life of me imagine why the unit needs to be SIM unlocked though?? I have seen posts from people who have SIM unlocked AFTER a ROM flash so I'm thinking perhaps this isn't the case?

Did you do either of these? Or maybe your unit was already in this state?

Thanks Orb. But it's not a request. I have a feeling it wouldn't be acted upon anyway. I can't be the first to point out inconsistencies.

I run a website and Vbulletin forum too. The day I have to rely on someone else to tell me it's not right is the day I give it up.

It sounds like I'm bashing XDAD. I'm

really

not. It's been a lifeline for me numerous times (the forum I must stress, not the WIKI).

I'm just surprised that such a fantastic resource is being let down by the one thing it should be proud of.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
I also was a newbie sometime, and I found that if everybody gives me easyly all my questions and problems I will not learn never! and I will get used to demand that people has to give me the answer right away!

So no my friend

, I understand is not an attack and I´m also friendly:

But said that I´ll push newbies to do it by themselves, even if it´s a little bit more difficult

At the end they as me wil apreciate it, because we learn to SEARCH and READ
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kryogenik:
lol.

Cute idea but there's a big difference between encouraging someone to help themselves and pointing them to articles that do the exact opposite to what they're supposed to do (i.e. confuse rather than assist).

Everyone needs to start somewhere, but you NEED to have at least some correct and up to date information to send you on your way.

You wouldn't give someone a manual for a 1972 Ford and tell them to read it so they can fix their 2009 model.

Anyway, that's my opinion on it. I hope one day someone has time to add missing bits to the Wiki. I appreciate it could be a major task. As I said, essentially this will save on hundreds of people posting the same problems over and over again and people getting sick of replying to the same posts over and over again.

It's simple common sense.

Hi guys,

would it be possible to add another section on the Xperia (Kovsky) specifically for the Sony Ericsson Panels?

The whole interface is exclusive to X1 and things seem to have started picking up with the latest announcement from SE for more panels, the competition etc.

I also did a poll to gauge how many people would like it:

Many thanks!

[About XDA developers] fards:
TBH I'd rather we had a themes/apps/software subforum like the other newer devices, panels should fit into that neatly..
[About XDA developers] mkouk:
I guess the panels is another form of software but i thought a separate forum section would provide Kovsky owners a place to talk, develop and share panels.

Sorry to bother you, I'm sure this info is somewhere (or if I understood it a bit better), but if someone could clear a few things up:

1) Have downloaded Hard-SPL 1.23, 1.34 and the latest version - is the newer better/more stable? Or I do have to use the one that matches the ROM I am flashing to?

2) If I want to do a cooked a ROM, will any of the versions of Hard-SPL listed above work for that too?

3) Is there an easy way to back up operator settings (internet, voice mail number etc?) Just got it so there's nothing else on it that needs backing up.

4) Offical ROMs are in .exe format, can I just install them on to my XDA?

Edit: Found the official ROMs, just required looking through several pages (sorry). Can anyone answer the other questions, especially how to back-up network settings.

For the mo I just want to get rid of the O2 branding.

Thanks for your time - have been a mod on several forums and I know you end up having to answer questions 20 times over.

Cheers,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] blibble:
Regarding Hard SPL, read here fully and carefully. It will tell you all you need to know.

With regards to ROMs, you could use the official ones but you will find AZTOR ROMs far superior. (AZTOR = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official ROM) or alternatively Shaks.P ROM in my signature which is set up for the UK. Both will automatically detect your network and use the correct settings and both are as stable as the original ROMs but with improved performance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mike Wilson:
I have a UK o2 xda ignito, and the only hard spl I have used is 1.93 from this thread.

Most of the modded roms can be flashed with the included utilities. But most of the official 2.03 roms can only be flashed from internal storage.

Any info you need can be found with the search function, with a little time.

All the best.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Responding To Questions

:

1) It doesn't have to match your original SPL...if the one you have downloaded works then use it. Very few chefs recommend a specific Hard SPL with there ROM. But this is so rare.

2) if you want to flash a unsigned ROM then you need a developers edition Hards SPL.....or jocky's works as well....I personally use 1.93 so I recommend that one.

3) don't worry about backing up operators settings.....most of these roms come with a "Connection Setup" which allows you to select from a list of operators and it does everything for you. I also have a little app for this if your rom doesn't have this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] joeearl13:
@Everyone: thanks for your help.

Will install the 1.93 Developers HSPL and see how that goes.

Can anyone recommend a ROM (don't want any visual tweaks)?

Thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Asking such a question can close this thread .........

This is out of the respect of the chefs who work hard. Please refrain from this topic regarding best roms, etc.

Just try them out and read the threads.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] joeearl13:
I understand people have put a lot of hard work in and have taken a look at a few cooked ROMs, and fully intend to start cooking my own when (if) I have learned the skills.

However just got it and it has O2 branding, so i'd like to play with the original interface for a day or two before I start seeing what can really be done with the interface ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Yeah, good idea, this will allow you to compare the true difference between a original and a cooked Rom. That is where one can begin to truly see how much better a cooked Rom is.

Has anyone else who has installed the latest version of Google Maps including the Latitude feature for seeing where your friends are had any problems with receiving calls?

I'm not 100% sure it is related but since installing it I have had loads of calls going straight to voicemail with my phone not ringing, sometimes I immediately got the text saying that someone had called but not left a message. It was usually fixed by me rebooting the phone, or making an outgoing call, but after a few hours it seemed to break again.

I have now uninstalled Google Maps and so far the problem has not reoccurred so I'm interested to see if anyone else has noticed this?
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
Not seen this at all and had Latitude installed since it was announced.

Hard to see why g maps could be causing the problem as it uses the gprs channels.

I suspect the problem might be you are running too many apps at once and then with g maps the memory usage is too much ?

if you are using GM on EDGE or 2G, and you have it running, you cannot have voice and data at the same tine coming through.

this is why 3G came by to allow data and voice simultaneously. no way you can have both on a 2G Network. And since GM will ALWAYS keep your Internet connection alive and transfer data, guess what? ur calls go to VM all the time
