Yeah I assumed you meant the ROM on the phone was bad not the file. ;)

No I hadn't looked at your other thread, I had just posted on this one because it was about the ROM. I get that symbol when I put in a bad/disabled SIM. I think it just means there's no service but emergency calls can still be made if there is a signal. The symbol is different if there is no SIM. Does it give you a 'locked' error indicating it's SIM locked to a carrier? Maybe the SIM slot is bad.. Or maybe the phone was reported stolen so the carrier is blocking it.. Have tried to run fieldtest.exe with a SIM in to see if it is indeed connected to a tower? Not sure what band it'd show for you but for me it is either 850 or PCS even if bad/disabled SIM is installed indicating it does have a signal for at least 911/emergency calls. Anyway, I'd hope you at least did a hard reset clear storage at least already & next do hardspl & install either original orange or Asia rom. I can confirm both posted on xda work on my S740 (aside from lack of 850 band on Orange rom) after installing the hardunlock where they did not work at all (same ID error) before the unlock..
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
Ok, here's the results of my testing, without having to install Jockey's SPL.

Both ROM's you refer to flashed ok. Obviously I didn't try to hard with the Orange ROM as I dont have an Orange sim to try.

I flashed the Asia ROM with success but still have the problem of no service.

HOWEVER, after having a play with the band and network selection settings, it now asks me to select a network, but the only one listed is T-Mobile.

Again, I only have an o2 sim to try as this is the preferred operator my bro wants.

This now leads me to believe that T-Mobile is the only one listed because it is locked to that carrier.

My assumption may be totally incorrect as my knowledge of phones is pretty much zero, but if this is the case, would you or anyone else know of a way to unlock it pretty much for free, lol, especially now the HardSPL is available.
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
Sorry, I meant to answer you other questions at the same time.

It could be the slot is bad, and I'm pretty sure it's not been blocked by the carrier as it was found by a cleaner working in an office.

In the bin were the box, phone, CD's, headphones and USB cable.

Even the little square pages of literature were there.

Its almost like it has stopped working and the owner has just taken his / sim out and binned it. !!

There hasnt been any locked error either.

I'll try that fieldtest next.

EDIT: I put the phone down for 10 minutes while typing this and getting fieldtest, only to pick the phone up and now have Orange on the "choose network" screen. I'm going to leave it overnight and see if it can get o2, lol.
[S740, S743 General] bill48105:
Cool you got the roms to install but very strange it would let you without hardspl.. Btw, Orange ROM does not mean you have to use Orange SIM. ;) Note that the Orange ROM has a newer radio which is worth a try too. For testing I'd leave the band stuff on auto unless you're sure you know what you're doing because it's easy to set it to wrong band & assume you get no signal. lol And I'm sure you want O2 but worth trying any valid SIM you can find just to see. But yeah the network select trick is helpful too just to see what is available but it can show different results depending on what SIM is in it, status of that SIM etc. If your phone was locked to a carrier it should tell you so when you 1st boot up with a SIM from a different carrier in it. And after searching I see nowhere that TMobile has ever had branded S740 so doubt seeing just TMobile in list is an indicator of being locked to Tmo. ;)

Sounds like a SIM issue since it is doing the same as when I put a deactivated SIM in. I'd say either the SIM socket/contacts are bad, SIM isn't inserted properly, incompatible SIM (maybe they are super old?) or possibly the phone had damage to either antenna or water damage that ruined something. The more SIM's you try the better to narrow it down, especially if you were able to get your hands on an active Orange SIM.

Of course it's possible the phone's IMEI has been blacklisted as stolen & that is causing your phone to not be able to register on a network with SIM installed. From everything I've read when a phone is blacklisted it'll either say an error about not being able to register with network or simply show no signal as if a deactivated SIM was installed. I'd say if that is the case they'll come knocking on your door since they'll trace it back to your account. hehe US carriers don't seems to partake in the blacklist system so feel free to ship it to me & I'll test it here for you. :D
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
Well, just to close this thread.

I tried various ROM's available from this site and none worked.

I did have limited success as posted above but overall, nothing. The phone has now gone back to the person who asked me to look into it and to my knowledge he is going to sell it to one of these phone reclaim companies.

I did check and one place, I think throught the post office, is offering £80 ish so not bad I suppose.

Anyway, thank you to all who have made suggestions and wotnot. Personally I'm still happy with an old Nokia 6300 and my Wizard (Mini-S) :)

Thanks folks.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] babaman001:
Hi there,

I have been reading abit on gaining root access on this phone and here is my progress so far:

I have a Vodafone New Zealand HTC Magic 32B running Android v1.6 with the following SPL in the fastboot screen:

sapphire unknown 32b ship s-on g

hboot-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Jul 31 2009,15:49:25

I have managed to create a goldcard and apply this engineering spl (Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010 - ROM v2.53.707.2) by Amon_RA in hboot.

After rebooting, the splashscreen has changed to HTC and I now have Android v1.5. Everything went well, so I thought until I went back to fastboot to check on the SPL

sapphire pvt 32b eng s-off h

hboot-1.33.2010 (sapp10000)

cpld-10

radio-3.22.20.17

jun 2 2009,17:27:03

As you can see it is now s-off h where it should be g?

And the radio is now 3.22.20.17.

I understand I have messed up by applying the wrong SPL. I tried to fastboot "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img", it hangs at the HTC magic splashscreen.

My questions:

What should one do to obtain s-off g and the appropriate radio?

Should one:

apply a different SPL, say 1.33.2004? < I think this is a google phone engineering SPL?

Or:

Change the radio following Amon_RA Revert to 32B Radio and ROM instructions?

The whole point of me gaining root access is to store applications on the sdcard and have a clean fast ROM.

Thank you all for your help.

p.s. Please feel free to move this thread to the appropriate forum if I have posted it wrongly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] excogitation:
use the 1.33.2005 engineering SPL (it says here)

I have managed to downgrade the radio back to 2.22.19.26I using Amon_RA method. Here is the latest HBOOT info:

I am running Amon_RA custom ROM at the moment and it is asking me to activate my T-mobile myTouch 3G phone. Now I could not use gmail because I could not activate via a t-mobile sim card.

Under Settings > About phone > Model number = T-Mobile mytouch 3G

Is there any way I could change this Amon_RA to a vodafone base? or is there anyway to activate google account via wifi like it was in Vodafone?

Thanks for your help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] babaman001:
Update #2

After turning off and on the phone. I am able to log onto google via wifi :)

Amon_RA custom ROM is fast! I am enjoying the clean v1.6 android. Way faster than the stock ROM.

Perhaps later I will try Cyanogen ROM

Thanks Amon_RA for the awesome rom!

One more question:

If I ever need to send the phone back to Vodafone - how do I revert back to the stock ROM and SPL?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] excogitation:
flash the stock rom (either from your backup or search the web),

flash the stock splash if you have a custom one by then,

flash the perfect SPL back.

That should be it.

Here's how you can check your build:

Go to Settings > System > About. Check your build number. If it is a 21xxx series, then you have an "older" build.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Folks,

First my thanks to (1) Astronout for "blazin' the trail" in WM SMS skinning. (2) Mintishhippo for his original iPhone SMS Skin.

Before attempting to install this Cab... Please head over to Astronout's thread and read carefully.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622520

My testing has been with a VGA Device, but according to Astronout's thread it should work on all Res's.

While I'm not an iPhone fan myself, the SMS window graphics are good eye candy.

In using Mintishhippo's iPhone SMS Skin, I found a couple of bugs. (1) First my MMS no longer worked. This was a killer for me. (2) There was also the documented date/time alignment issue when switching between portrait and landscape (3) I also noticed a gap between the "top" and "bottom" of the bubbles. (4) The "bottom" half of the bubble didn't cover large SMS's.

Wanting to keep the skin, the lack of MMS capability drove me to update it.

Astronout got my creative juices flowing... now I had the desire to weed out any "bugs".

Well I got carried away and completely rewrote the skin and updated the graphics.

Attached are the results of my efforts... sans the original bugs!

Hopefully folks can build on this and take it even further...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At User Requests, I've also ported over the "Ninja4Hire Ninja SMS Skin".

[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
I've added versions that use the contact picture.

I didn't take any screen shots, because they look like the first versions I rewrote above. The only difference is that the contact names are on the left and the contact pic is on the right.

It reads the last person that replied when opening and uses the pic of that contact, if found... otherwise it'll be blank.

Attached are the iPhone and Ninja versions.

Astronout's thread has some Cab's to get you up an running using Windows Mobile Threaded Messaging instead of HTC Sense / Manila Messaging.

If you are using Sense 2.5, you may run into issues using the "Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.CAB"

I've attached

With the directions from Astronout's thread, replace the "Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.CAB" with the attached "1-Enable MS Messaging-v1.1-gsm.cab".

[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
Ahhh.. A picture is worth a 100 words.

Your issue is not related to the resolution. I see you are using either 6.1 or 6.5.

Builds earlier than 6.5.x handle SMS a little different. The earlier builds do not support individual message time stamps.

The bubbles for 6.5.x builds are split into two pieces. Given that you are using a pre 6.5.x build, you will only get the bottom half.

I could attempt to update the pre-6.5.x skins as well, but I cannot test those. It would be hit or miss getting those reworked.

That would be it. Those ROMS are below WM 6.5.1. While its new from HTC it is actually an "older" MS build.

Here's how you can check your build:

Go to Settings > System > About. Check your build number. If it is a 21xxx series then you have the older build.

These aren't compatible with the 21xxx or lower series builds. These skins were written for 23xxx or higher series builds.

Thanks for making version with contact picture!

I modified a little bit your latest version of the Ninja skin:

- Resized (halved) the sms_titleicon.png (it didn't look like in the screenshots, it was very big about double size of the contact picture itself... or maybe it was an issue of my phone?)

- Modified the original Ninja baloons (while they look very good when there is lot of text and the baloon is tall, I noticed that for very short text/balloon there was a problem on one side due to the resizeing)

- Added support for Omnia2 (simpy made a copy of the iframe_style.css and renamed it to iframe_style.css)

Of course feel free to add it to ur first post if u like.

But I also have one more request if it's possible^^

In the original Ninja skin, in each baloon there is also the name of the sender and receiver (me^^). Would it be possible to add it? if it's simple, I can just add it to my modified version in case.

This is looking so good that you forget about the new HTC messaging at all and not only because it is so slow.

However, I tried to install on my Blackstone with the 23554 energy rom (6.5.5 rom, start on bottom left), but it didn't change anything. This rom is without HTC messaging and SMS is threaded. I installed the 6.5.+ versions without luck.

Any idea?

You might try.

installing the ninja rom first reset than installing the other.

I know for some reason mine will install the ninja rom and run it but it won't install the iphone replica without having it installed after the ninja style.

2nd. is how do i get rid of the htc messaging everything seems to shortcut to it I would really like that not to happen. I have used the zenyee disable but i don't think it does much of anything.

Answer me this question... I was on Damage 2.1 Eris leak rom and running fresh's latest radio update and was struggling to get 2-3 bars of EV and after flashing back to 1.5(Gumbo's Bare version) to be exact, i am now getting almost full EV signal steadily :confused: I never had an issue getting 1X reception obviously as that's the basic coverage. Not that i'm complaining but what gives? I flashed back planning on following Avalaunch's tip to go back to 1.5 to update prl automatically and then nandroid back to 2.1. This occurred before i did any such update however...

1. Bars mean nothing.

2. Damage only maxes out at 4 bars.

Look at the signal strength here to see what it really is. Don't trust the bars, the bars are a lie! (like the cake)
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
I apologize I forgot to mention that I did verify in network status so i verified my dBm value is steadily lower(better) -85 to be exact than it was with damage(-95 dBm) on average. and actually i flashed a different task bar on Damage that showed the original 6 bars which is where i'm drawing my observation from.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Actually, I'm with OP on this subject. I tested every 2.1 ROM with the new Radio. I flashed to 1.5 to update the profile and PRL, and then flashed back to 2.1. I then flashed back to 1.5 because I wanted to use Darkstar (theme). Now, you may or may not know, but every 2.1 ROM and Darkstar both use 4 bars. Well, in 1.5 I almost ALWAYS have more bars compared to the 2.1 ROM's. I even confirmed my signal by looking the Network settings menu.

where is this theme?

[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
so that taskbar will work on darchs 4.1?
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
That i can't verify. I would think since it's 2.1 as well it should but i make no claims... nandroid nd try is all i can say. But it definitely gives u a level field for comparing signal reception between roms since it's the same icon as stock.
[Hero CDMA General] navalynt:
I've been playing around with all the posted mods and themes under the Hero CDMA forums and unless I'm mistaken all of the taskbars with a 6 signal indicator are nothing more than a remapped 4 signal indicator so you will never see any odd number of signal bars.

Also, it's possible that differences in signal between 1.5 and 2.1 could could have to with the epst.apk. I noticed I can access and modify programming through ##3282# just fine under 1.5 but under 2.1 I always get a FC.
[Hero CDMA General] nimitz87:
I don't think that taskbar will work with Darch since it is Legend based and that is a droid eris based task bar (I'm running it as well)

Hi lads,

here some noob question from a happy nexus one user:

I flashed Cyanogen 5.0.5 yesterday, together with the Radio (i lost 2 kilos during radio flashing hehe), great rom, fast and cool.

I flashed again today, since an update has just been released (Cyanogen 5.0.5.1).

My noob question are:

What does the Amon Ra recovery wipe do?

Should i wipe before going from 5.0.5 to 5.0.5.1 (or in general when updating a rom)?

I had a look inside Cyanogen 5.0.5.1 update.zip, and i realized there's a boot.img file,

is it a bootloader? Does that mean that i just flashed the SPL or the bootloader(taking a chance to brick!!??)

Thank you very much!!! :D

2. Generally you don't have to wipe when going to a new version of the same rom. Check OP first post in thread to find out if it requires a wipe or not.

3. No its not a bootloader, no chance of brick. Only way you can brick your phone is flashing a radio or SPL.
