i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?

Good afternoon, folks

I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.

As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking if anybody is willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.

Warm regards,

Manuel

I just got a replacement G1 from Tmobile, for free bless their hearts, cause my headset is going to the crapper. I'm trying to update my raido to the 2_22_19_26I, as I did before with my first G1, so I can install the DangerSPL. I have tried with the stock recovery, Cyan's 1.4, and Amon-RA's 1.5.2 to install it, and each time, it goes about the update process as normal, asks me to reboot, I see the picture of the chip and then it takes me back to recovery.

Each time, though, I'm still at the 1_22_12_29. I check by turning on the phone, then Settings --> About Phone, and also by going into the SPL, still at the 1.

Any ideas?

EDIT: also I'm using the radio on HTC's developer website, so it's legit.

You need a custom recovery before you can even upgrade the radio but are you on 1.5 doing the one-click?

I've tried with many different recovery's.

When your in rec mode you must flash the radio while there, i heard the rec gets deleted if you dont update the radio when you install a recovery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjc_01:
rec mode? please restate what you just said.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
rec=recovery mode

The guide says flash the radio while your in recovery mode not after.

Can you load roms since you said you tried recoveries?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjc_01:
I can load everything, ROM's, SPL's, different recoveries, boot.img's.

I've tried updating the radio before I upgrade the SPL, after, with a stock recovery, or with Amon-RA's/Cyanogens. I don't know why it's not working.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Donut roms(1.6) dont need the Haykuro or Hard SPL you can load roms with the one you have now.If you want to use hero or eclair then you'll need the radio and SPL.

Another user and I, have this same issue with no solution, we have threads in dream q&a and dream general. I also used recovery flasher to gain root when I was on cupcake. My radio is older than yours though =/ if you can't find the threads ill post the links tmw, as I'm abt to sleep now..good luck hopefully we can all find a solution, or at least identify the source of the problem..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phamous:
not sure if this will be of much help, but you can always try to revert back to the stock firmware using the dreaimg.nbh file and stock spl.

i had a friend who, like with your radio, couldn't flash the more recent custom recoveries.

whatever the reason was, i suggested that he just "unroot" and go back to android 1.0, stock spl, stock radio , whatever, and just re-root from there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenameismax:
ust make sure when unroot you follow the instructions...somehow i bricked my first G1 when I was unrooting. Dont ask me how I did that but I did ha
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phamous:
haha, good point! when in doubt, just follow the guide!

this one, if you don't already have it,

shows you how to "downgrade/un-root" your device.

happy flashing!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjc_01:
I apologize to sound rude, but I've been with XDA and the G1 rooting community since 1.0. I know these are good, helping tips and guides, but I've tried to explain that I've done everything like that already, gone back to stock, gone up to cyan's 4.2.13, gone back to stock, then up to a stock 1.6, even with the stock updates, when it says writing radio, radio doesn't update.

your replies are appreciated, just not really relevant or helpful.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdafabe:
I was setting up a friends g1 and same thing, he got the phone from warranty exchange and I was able to downgrade, gain root, change recovery image and flash enom's rom with no issue. But upon boot up I saw his radio image was .29 and tried to update the radio. I kept getting something like "line 2: getting prop(device = dream)"

So I started all over rc29, root, recovery image and every time I try to update radio, same issue. Even when use Cyan's method and try the developer's image with radio update, it fails.

In the end, since enom's rom can use any radio, he was ok with it. But really i wanted to get his g1 on the latest radio image. I feel your pain as I researched the errors as well and couldn't find anything. Good luck.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjc_01:
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going through, except it's not throwing up any errors or anything. it updates, says "writing radio image...", reboots with the HTC symbol, and goes back to Recovery and Formats the CACHE like always. *sigh* maybe T-mobile found a way to mess with us after all?

Just a question, when u rooted, did u do it the old way or new way. And by old way that I used, was the DREAIMG.nbh, then on home screen the type cd /sdcard blah blah...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicFail236:
Ive done it before, sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesnt. Id just do one thing at a time to save on pain. Radio first, SPL if needed, then ROM. Always works for me that way :-)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdafabe:
followed these steps to get root.

STEP 1: DOWNGRADE

Our first step is going to downgrade your phone to RC29, This is like removing Windows XP Service Pack 3 and installing Windows XP Service Pack 1. It allows us to use a security flaw to gain root access. This section is going to use FILE 1 from the downloads

1) Turn the device power off.

2) Hold Camera button, and press Power button to enter bootloader mode.

3) You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card.

4) As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.

5) After it is finished, perform the restart your phone. (May take up to 15 minutes to boot)

6) Complete the setup process for gmail.

STEP 2: ROOT

Your phone is now downgraded and we can use the security flaw to replace the recovery image. The "recovery" is kinda like a boot disk on your computer, we use this to delete, modify, and create system files while they are not in use my the ROM. The recovery will be used when ever you flash pretty much anything to your phone.This section is going to use FILE 2 from the downloads

1) At the home screen hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. IGNORE WHAT THE SCREEN IS DOING

2) Press Home

3) Goto the market and download "Telnet"

4) Open Telnet and connect to localhost : 23

5) Press enter and you should see a #

6) Now type the following and press enter at the end of each line

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd sdcard

flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img

cat cm-recovery-1.4.img > /system/recovery.img

7) Press the home button

You think after we get the recovery image setup we can flash the radio, but no luck. *update* Encountered 2 phones that was back from an exchange warranty as stated from my peers, both had 1.6 on them but their radio differed. Had no issues reflashing radio that had 26i, but the one that had .29 still cannot update to latest.

Is it safe to say that the RC29 image flashes radio that is included in the dream image? Why when I go to flash the radio update, it refers to line 2 and says that the device isn't a dream. I even succuessfully flashed the spl with the fast boot HSPL10.95.3000 at it is a 32b. Wowza!

hello,

is there an application that will add a SOFTRESET icon inside start >> programs?

something like the softreset icon of spb shell

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ohyeahar:
There are plenty. Just search for "soft reset application" and take your pick. Can't really recommend one, since they all do the same thing....

But the soft reset button is easily accessible on the Diamond. It's in the stylus silo. Because of that, I never had a use for soft reset programs when I was using the Diamond.

As someone who swaps roms out frequently but also keeps 14 gigs of music on his phone is there a place or additional partition i could set up to keep my music on so i can do full wipes before testing roms without having to spend 30 minutes backing up and then 30 minutes putting back my music
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
umm... do you format your sdcard every time you flash a new rom?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:
nope. I just know my music isn't found if i place it in a ext or a second fat32 partition and clearing only davlik before new roms still leaves me with fc's and more annoyingly an inability to use my contacts.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
i don't understand what your problem is. what's your checklist when you flash a rom? wiping your phone doesn't touch your fat32 partition and wiping your ext just wipes your ext. so i'm not sure why you're hesitant to do a wipe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Nobody knows what the hell your talking about. The only time you may ever need to reload all of your data onto your fat32 partition is if you repartition the entire card to modify your ext and swap partitions. Thats it. Otherwise the only other thing that you can do (as far as I know) is just back up your data to your computer. Problem solved.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
geez, i thought i was the only one who didn't understand what he was talking about. i thought i was having a MAJOR brain fart. good to know i haven't lost my touch.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
We haven't lost OUR touch, everyone else just doesn't listen to common-sense anymore...

OP, if your talking about using all of these as ringtones and posing them after a wipe put them in the media>audio>ringtones/notifications/alarms folders on your sdcard (If you must, then make them)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
i sure hope he isn't talking about ringtones because if he has 14 gigs of them he's got two problems:

1: why has he kept his secret of 14 gigs on his g1?

2: he has WAY too many ringtones.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Wow thats a LOT of contacts for one person, damn this sum undercover shi...You need to lower the amount of contacts you have OP.Or stop having so many songs what is that like 1K+ songs?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:
Sorry i'f im not being very clear. i'm sitting here with a flu and my thoughts aren't flowing very well.... lets see if i can pull it together briefly. I know wiping / factory reseting is not supposed to remove the files. In fact they are still there but i can only see them under debian not when i try and view them under windows. My phones media player also seems to be incapable of locating them unless i remove them entirely and replace them on the card again. I have all my music backed up on the computer its the process of selecting the 14 out of 90 gigs every time thats annoying. If i'm just causing more confusion ill try again when im not out of it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:
and no they aren't all for ring tone purposes......... i just happen to listen to music every free second i can and don't like carrying around a separate mp3 player.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:

2745 songs actually. And before anyone asks. it is all purchased. I have a very extensive CD/Vinyl collection.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:
Its actually faster moving everything off the phone on to my computer and then back then re picking what music to put on my phone. I'm blaming it on this 16 class 2 card. I'm gonna test a wipe on this 4gig class 6 and hope it leaves everything working.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:

Of course, cyan uses @528Max for his rom which is too much, @384max is better and if you ever used Super-D/Dwang he uses the @384 for max.I like custom profiles too though.

why is 528 too much?

i like setCPU because it has profiles, e.g. scaling down the CPU in sleep mode, or when low battery.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
first of all, now that you have installed the latest htc rom, you probably have the new hboot. so you wont be able to just install modaco rom.

follow this thread first.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559613

then you can install mcr roms. you dont need to root before cause they are already prerooted usually. (modaco roms)

how safe is it?? i dont even think it's a bit dangerous. i flash my phone at least 3 -4 times per week trying all the roms that come out.:D:D

about losing your contacts? well if you have your contact stored as google contacts , then there is no risk at all. the moment you sign in your gmail account, it will restore all your contacts.

what am i doing wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
well usually if you followed all the steps , you should boot in recovery mode by keeping home pressed and powering the phone. if nothing happens , then something went wrong. i cannot really help you much here as there are a lot of steps and i cannot say where you went wrong

-Search for Threads and/or Add New Threads feature

-You can pick between Mobile or Desktop View

Also there are some other things that I feel could be better.

-When someone quotes you, you can get an email notification telling you. This way people don't have to subscribe to every thread they put a post to see if people respond to your post.
