[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GoJets!:
I just got a P525 from a friend, who didn't need it anymore, and thought of updating it to WM 6.1

I read a lot of what is written here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=407238

I followed the recommended procedure and updated the bootloader first,

according to the author's walkthrough.

The bootloader update worked, and I was prompted to end the procedure by

pushing both the standby and the reset-button, which I did.

But after that.... nothing. I tried to repeat the whole thing, but whatever

file I put on the mini-SD card, nothing happens.

I can't hard-reset the phone, all I can do is enter bootloader, and force mode.

It doesn't matter if I push either the camera button or the record button plus the reset button, all I get is:

Galaxy FlashROM Update

2007/05/18 18:03:59 (time is okay)

CPU Version: PXA27x

Please plug AC/USB cable!

Waiting....

:confused:

The phone does register when I plug either the AC or USB cable, but after

that, nothing happens. It only says "Waiting...".

Like I said, I read a lot of articles here, and I am no noob when it comes to

flashing, I've flashed almost every HTC device there is, but this is my first try

on an ASUS.

So, any help or hint is much appreciated!

grab "ROMGalaxy.nb0" put on mini sd and flash using combination
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GoJets!:
Thanks for the quick reply, but I already tried numerous .nb0 files from this site.

I also tried to downgrade the bootloader to WM5 back, but no matter what kind of file I put on my mini-SD card, nothing happens after I insert it.

Do I have to push a button after inserting it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hdubli:
u need to press camera+reset or voicerecorder+reset in order to start flashing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GoJets!:
Yes, I know that I have to do that to enter the bootloader.

Like I wrote before, I AM able to access the bootloader both via camera+reset,

and record+reset, as well as access the force mode.

What is the difference between the first two methods?

Shouldn't the phone by itself be able to recognize the .nb0 files I put on the card, and immediately start the update process, once it recognizes that there

are valid files on the card?

Or do I have to push a button to start the process?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GoJets!:
Oh, come on, there has to be someone who has an idea of what to do or

at least of what to try....? :(

After messing around with a lot of .nb0 files, I am now of the opinion that the problem is that the card reader won't read or recognize the files on the miniSD

card.

Hey guys,

i've got a problem with my HTC it freeze like it is described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=440012&highlight=freeze

Means when I turn off the Display with the Powerbutton and try to turn it on sometimes it doesn't do anything, even if the green LED ist blinking. The only way to turn it on is to take the battery out and put it in again and restart the phone.

Now i wanna know whether it's the hardware or the software.

I'm using Onyx WM 6.1 and 6.5 both have the same problem.

Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english,

Im going to buy a dash off ebay that is unlocked. I planned on installing the Kavana rom. Would the new instalation remove the lock? also i have been looking at SPLs, would i need to install one? also, would install it after i install the new kavana rom? Why do i need an SPL?

Thanks for all the help you guys. Im new at this so i want to get off on the right foot. :D

[HTC Excalibur] Jamdat33:
ok i'll look into that rom. I have att so i was hoping it could still work with that sim...
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
yea as long as its unlocked, just run the auto.bat file and follow the instrictions
[HTC Excalibur] Jamdat33:
About SPL, when do i install it? and What does it do? you recommend one?
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
just be sure to install the sda app unlock, the .bat file will do all the work for you. all you might have to do is hit ok. its really quite simple. there was a time where it was more complicated, but not anymore

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] baobaonaonao:
:(Just tried SEUS for latest generic UK R3AA updating but faild with a reply said my R2AA is already the latest one. Updated my Vodafone rom R1AA to R2AA a week ago and never did anything on SPL.

Any one can help or tell me the reason?:confused:

Thanks!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] poetryrocksalot:
If it says your Xperia is the latest ROM, than it is the latest ROM. Each ROM is exclusive to specific Xperia's and specific countries or languages.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
That's because you already have the "latest" UK vodafone ROM, officially speaking, which is Vodafone UK R2A

You can't "upgrade" from "

Vodafone

" (operator customized) ROM to a "

generic

" ROM, that wouldn't be an "upgrade" but a "change"

Two options:

- Wait untill Vodafone R3A is officially released and available thru SEUS

- Download the generic UK R3A ROM here and flash it (hard-spl is not required since it is an official OEM ROM and hence can flash thru the stock SPL)

hope this makes it more clear for you

Not sure why I can't find this, but I've downloaded a ROM without tf3d and tried the tf3d from the build your own rom page, but it seems a bit slower and also has transitions or fades that take too much time. Is there another tf3d version? I like the tf3d2 version, but I'm waiting until that one is done. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you (i know, damn noobs :)

Hey guys,

I've installed µTrack on a motorola MC75 using windows mobile 6.0 and I'm getting the incorrect long/lat from µTrack.

I also installed google maps on the device and it seems to work fine reporting the coordinates.

So I was wondering if there is a way to fix the issue with µTrack to get the right coordiantes.

The coordinates I should be getting are 49.83 lat and -99.95 for long

the oordinates I am getting are 89.622 lat and -157.69 long

any help is appreciated

Hello,

I´m featuring a problem with the backlight on external powersupply. It quickly (2-4 seconds) dimms down to lowest step, regardless the setting in "settings - power - backlight".

I would like to have it on normal level as long as I´m working with the deviece. Than after specified time (according to the settings) it may dimm down or turn off the light.

This is quite annoying as working on the device while constantly dimming up and down is not much fun.

Can anybody help please?

(Search button didn´t, also this may be no new bug :-)

Thank you,

Hey there...

I was just wondering is there is anything other than the standard messaging app for windows mobile...

Something with better options and features than the standard app...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
What kind of features are you missing?

There are things like People Centric Communications built into the latest manila, and then there are a few comercial PIM solutions out there, but it largely depends on what you're looking for.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krakout:
Hello there!

I have a 6.5 ROM and I tried installing ACE's Greek language onto my Diamond. Well, it installed fine, seems to work fine, everything is in Greek (T9, keyboard, menus), but I can't open the Start menu, which means I can't run anything...

I have installed a Program Launcher module on my 6.5 home screen so I can selectively run something (*.exe) if I add a shortcut to it, but that's about it.

So, my question is:

-is there a way to run a control panel applet NOT through 'settings'? This would be ideal because I could run the Greek Language applet and switch menus into English (I guess this should fix it probably)

-is there a way to uninstall some program in some other way?

Thanks... I'm getting rather desparate!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kosherpig:
You can uininstall programs via ActiveSync: open it and select Tools|Add/Remove Programs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krakout:
Duhhhhhh it's been ages since I've done this, so I had totally forgotten it...

Thanks for reminding me!

My other question stands: how to call a control panel applet other than through Settings?

Cheers

[EDIT] Hmmm I spoke too fast... under add/remove the ACE Greek module appears 0kb big. I tell it to uninstall it, it gives me the "Removing" dialog for a few secs and then it exits with no changes. Rats!
[G1 General] bmfc187:
Hi, i searched and couldnt find anything... I just installed ubuntu and have been dual-booting with windows Vista for several weeks now. My question is im a windows (redheaded step)child and im not too familiar with linux' inner workings yet...so i have not been doing anything to "safely remove" my G1 when in ubuntu, cuz i thought that such an option doesnt exist...problem is now i think ive corrupted all my data on my SDcard and i was just hoping that someone could tell me how to do this correctly in ubuntu? Do i hafta mount it, and THEN unmount it before i should unplug it? I dont even know if this is the problem, but ive been watching my logcat and it gives me some Dbus error when i plug in USB and it doesnt come up on the phone with option to mount SDcard, and windows doesnt recognize my device anymore. Pretty sure i corrupted my SD, im pretty sure i can fix it without help, if someone could just tell me the proper procedure for removing devices from ubuntu? thanks in advance...

-BMFC
[G1 General] ccyrowski:
I dual boot ubuntu on my mac OSX, which emulator are you using (fusion VM, virtualbox etc...?)

(1) When you've properly mounted your SD card it should show up on your ubuntu Desktop. Just go to Places > Desktop and you should be able to eject the SD card (two if you are partitioning them and AppstoSD) by pressing the "eject" button. The SD card should show up in the left window pane.

(2) Also, you probably have corrupted your SD card and are going to have to reformat it, losing all of your data.

(3) Somewhere in your emulator there should be a USB button to see which devices are plugged into your host computer, and which ever one you select your emulator will read.

(4) Finally, you don't provide enough information for a real answer...

(a) What ubuntu are you running?

(b) Do you have appstosd?

(c) have you done a nandroid backup?

(d) Which emulator/virtual environment are you running?

Hope this helps.
[G1 General] indiekid97:
In Nautilus (the file manager) there will be a little orange eject symbol next to the drive. Clicking it will unmount the drive, which you should ALWAYS do before pulling any kind of removable media out of the socket. Unmounting is the *nix equivalent of "ejecting" in Windows.

If you're running a command line setup, the command to unmount is

sudo umount /media/(insert mount name here)

Hope that helps!
[G1 General] Purge13:
I too dual boot and noticed they i wouldn't get the "usb connected" on the G1. After some tweaking a few options; i noticed I would get the USB connected IF my usb debugging was ON. [settings- applications- developement- usb debugging]. I have to check for Ubuntu and uncheck for windows. I hope that helps
[G1 General] bmfc187:
you see the problem is that ive never actually mounted my G1 in ubuntu, i just plugged it in to charge...so i never had to unmount it and theres no "safely remove" function, that i could find, so i figured that linux was just secure enough that it didnt require safely removing devices....oops...in answer to your questions, first im not running any VM...im ACTUALLY dual-booting. i have windows vista and ubuntu Jaunty running side-by-side, on a compaq presario f700. I DO have USB debugging ENABLED, and right now im running JF1.42rc33 still, im prolly gonna be wiping and upgrading to SOMETHING today, i was kinda just holding off cuz i like my theme, but my phones f-in up so nows as good a time as any to start fresh. I dont use a2sd, just my caches for market, browser, and maps are on sd. Ive been having trouble on my g/f's hp Pavilion pc running windows vista...we both have g1's and HERS is stock, unrooted, and she just got the OTA a couple days ago, since then the computer has been hating on MY phone, it says the drivers screwed and it wount bring up the option on my phone to mount the sdcard. hers still works fine, and mine still works fine hooked up to my laptop, just not hers...so i dunno if THATS a cupcake issue or if its cuz i didnt remove it from ubuntu right...im gonna format my sd AND wipe my phone, and ill get back to you guys moentarily, thanks for all your replies.

[G1 General] muzicman0:
If all you were doing is charging, and you didn't mount it, then your original assumption was correct. You don't need to unmount something that was never mounted.

[G1 General] bmfc187:
ok well then somebody help me out with this: i have tried for two days to get my sdcard to format, and IT JUST WONT. I cant get it to even be recognized by my girlfriends computer, but her G1 running UNrooted TMOCupcake still works fine, kinda makes me wonder if hers didnt get some kinda updated driver packed with it? The cupcake, i mean, not the phone...i dunno. Anyways my phone WONT mount in ubuntu at all, it shows up but when i try to mount it it says "No media on Volume" and wont open it at all. so in windows it ACTS like its doin everything i want it to do...i tried to format my sd yesterday and i sat here and watched it the whole time, and when it finshed it said: "Format Completed SUCCESSFULLY." so i SAFELY REMOVED IT, unplugged and plugged back the usb, and when it came up EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE!!!! my problem seems to be my sdcard/doom folder...it tells me that the folder \doom is ENTIRELY UNREADABLE.

ahem...on a side note, all these things happened at once...(same day)

1. My g/f got the OTA cupcake update...

2. I updated some apps from the market, the one that im suspecting right now is called "Cards(-)" by Coderminus. After i updated it, i went to play Doom, and instead of playing like usual, when i hit the "Play" button, it just exitted to home. So i checked my logcat and the Cards(-) app caused ALL KINDS of runtime errors, and so i uninstalled this app.

3. My market starts crashing all of a sudden. I cleared the cache and it SEEMED to fix it...for now.

4. Uninstalled Doom (ver. 1.29.666) and then went and deleted my doom folder.(I thought) Reinstalled newest version of Doom (ver. 1.31.666)

5. Tried to redownload the WADs to play, and i could get it to play, as long as i didnt try to download the sound files. Everytime i tried to get the sounds, it would act fine, but then when id go to play the game itd just exit to home again....

6. Repeated step 5. like 6 times....

This was all like 2 days ago? 3 days ago? and ive been messing with it ever since, and my PHONE is fine, but my SDCARD appears to be, for lack of a better term, ****ED. i cant even format it, ive tride 3 times, it just all comes right back when i plug it back in...i even tried to put an update.zip in my sdcard and update from JF1.42RC33 to (I was gonna try Dude's 1.2b) so i put that in there, and removed it and when i went into my file manager on the g1, the update wasnt there! i cannot seem to be able to make ANY changes to my sd...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

[G1 General] ubernicholi:
Try ti format your card from within your phone. Unfortunately that's the only issue I can help you with.

Edit: try doing a system wipe on your girlfriends phone from the recovery menu. It should solve the crashes. You will wave to reinstall all your apps tho.
[G1 General] bmfc187:
I...didnt even know that was possible...im not seein any options to do that...you know some terminal commands for that or somethin? Cus when i got into my file manager (i use aFile, cuz it has wireless transfer) i cant even delete anything from there, ANY folder i try to delete it just says "Failed to delete (folder name)"...so if you know how to do that then hook me up and ill try it...

-BMFC

EDIT: i think you misunderstood, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with my girlfriends phone...its just that she got the US OTA and it happened at the same time as all this other, so i thought maybe it might have had some effect on how mine interfaces with her comp...honestly i doubt it, but until someone tells me im wrong im not ruling it out...
[G1 General] ubernicholi:
On your phone Goto your settings menu, sdcard and phone memory, unmount your card and then select format

hi i posted a thread here for help, and i did so cuz i need help from someone INTELLIGENT. The mods have now moved my post to the "General section" of the dream forum, where i cant get **** for help. The reason i didnt just post in that section, where it goes, is CUZ NO ONE CAN OR WILL HELP ME OVER THERE....i need a devs help or somethin...THATS why i posted in the dev section...cus its pointless to try to get support from end users...i might as well just sit in the bedroom with NO COMPUTER asking MYSELF what the answer is...so first off id like to thank the AWESOME mods here for burying my post head-high in a section that i cant get any support in, EVER. THEN, id like to ask some dev(s) or SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY INTELLIGENT, please go to

this thread

and read, and im BEGGING you for help!!! To whoever helps me figure this out i would gladly donate to WHATEVER cause you have!!!! Honestly, if you ONLY read MY posts, you wont miss anything important, except some guy with the SAME SKILL LEVEL AS ME telling me to wipe SOMEBODY ELSES PHONE and see if that works...****.

SOMEONE PLEASE try to help me out before the AWESOME mods here at xda move this post, too. Im not sorry im posting in the wrong secrtion cuz this is where the help is and thats REALLY what i need right now. So MODS, you can move my posts all day long, ill just make a new one linking to the old one till i get some support...suspend me...BAN me, i dont care, ill just keep coming back with new usernames and accounts until i get some help, cuz THATS WHAT THE F*CK SUPPORT FORUMS ARE FOR. Im really pissed at whatever mod moved my post, cuz the SECOND i posted that thread initially, i got like 4 or 5 replies, thats why i LOVE this forum, cuz it has GREAT SUPPORT, when you can actually get your question seen by a dev, that is. but as soon as my post got moved i got several replies from one DUMBASS that was TRYING to help, and ill give him that he was just tryin to help, but i have a problem with my phone, and this guy tells me i should WIPE MY GIRLFRIENDS PHONE. WOW. Just wow. Someone please go read my problem and post there, or post here, with some answers....MODS PLEASE DONT MOVE THIS THREAD I AM TRYING TO GET SOME HELP!!!!

lol ok first off take it easy on the mods here, i'm speaking of your other post, they try to keep these forums clean and it isnt an easy job all things considered.

the way i see it you have 2 options.

1. Throw your card in a digital camera and use the camera to format it. I works most the time when a computer wont, several times my pc wouldn't recognize/format a card but my ****ty digital camera had no problem.

2. if that doesn't work, splurge the $8.99(or less) it costs to get a new sd.

I've even seen 8gig class 6 cards for around $20 and 4gig class 4 cards for $10.

edit: wow just a min too late

My Treo 800w was acting a bit strangely (Bluetooth not working in car, text messages coming through as number instead of name, etc.), so I pulled the battery out to reboot it, and now it won't boot back up. The palm splash screen shows up, and the bar at the bottom gets about 1/4 of the way through and then it just freezes! I don't know what else to try except a hard reset, but really don't want to do that because I have a lot of data on the Treo that I don't want to lose. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there any way to dump the data somehow? Any ideas are welcome!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
The little plastic bits at each side of the keyboard. I've just noticed them now. They're like the screen protecter film you get on electronic devices. I wonder if they indicate areas of possible wear and tear
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pgamble:
Yes ... they are at the rear of the keyboard and on the underside of the screen half as well.

I found with mine that at the back there were a couple of scratches in this plastic indicating that the mechanism was so tight that it did mark. Hard to say what it would be like over time.

Did you check your PM re the screen ?

Also ... can you confirm your tilt is very stiff ... particularly the initial movement ... and that when you push the screen back down, just before it goes flat ... that you get a distinct click like a dislocation ?

Paul.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirajsalim:
Paul, I just got mine today and you are right, the tilt is stiff at the initial movement and it also has a click (mechanical) sound just before it goes flat.

as far as scratches are concerned, there are none that i can see.

however, there seems to be a gap between the keys and the screen panel, so there should be no problem in that area pertaining to scratches or friction.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pgamble:
Any sign of that pinched top surface about 1/2" down from the top as the front surface touches the left chrome edge ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirajsalim:
Well if the screen is facing towards me then this is happening on the right side surface. Also the protector on the right side (of the keyboard) is a bit worn out so may be that is the reason.

Do you think removing the protector (from either sides of keyboard) will result in scratches?
