Help with ROM issues

Hi Guys,

At first i must say sorry for re-open this post. there is a lot of months since the last response.

I bought a samsung sgh-i637 in LatinAmerica, playing on the internet i used the AT&T ROM for upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.5 but as you know that rom has a lot of programas of AT&T and also they change the major of keys (keypad) functionability... and at the end the phone still stay locked for AT&T.

I want to know if is possible get a ROM without the AT&T programs and also that it unlock my phone for use with any phone operator.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, I am using Kumar's TMOUS Premium V2.0 S23568 B2.10.1 on TMoUS HD2 and yesterday I installed a bunch of apps from oMarket and I also installed FpseCE emu and they all ran fine. Now today I tried to use them and it says "The file 'xxxx' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file." Any ideas, they ran fine yesterday. And I don't know if it matters but I installed them on my SD card.... Thank you for any help you can offer
[HD2 General] tuppaacc:
you can TRY TO REINSTALLING THEM, (haha lol have you done that) also that sometimes happens to me because the path on the app has changed, other thing also is when you change the date and location on your phone.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Are you trying to run any of them while connected to your PC in disk drive mode? The phone can't access/use the contents of the card when you're connected that way.

If that's not the case, have you used file explorer to verify that the SD card is still working ok otherwise (i.e. you can still see and access files on it manually)?

Hi everyone

I have an X2, an ex-press demonstrator, maybe a prototype (got it from eBay last November). It runs a VERY early WM 6.5 version. It's a great piece of hardware, but crippled by the naff OS. Updating has proven impossible so far, and the handset is currently bricked by the last unsuccessful attempt. I'm wondering:

1. Does anyone yet know for certain the "service" functions for this handset, such as hard reset, etc.? I read about key combinations allowing backdoor access for programming purposes, but it all looks like speculation. I know there's a reset button under the rear cover, beside the stylus, but don't know how it should be used. The "Power-on & Volume-down" just leads to a blank screen.

2. SEUS refuses to update this handset, constantly saying my software is up-to-date. I've searched around, and apparently, SEUS checks the handset information against its own records, and won't update prototypes. Does anyone know of a way to force SEUS to perform an update?

3. I've tried to update the ROM using "RomUpdateUtility.exe", but this just crashes the host PC. I've tried on three different PCs, with the same result. Could be the utility, could be the handset. Does anyone have any advice to offer on this, perhaps an alternative utility? If that fails, it could point to the handset.

If anyone has any proper answers, it'd be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

gl solving it
[Nexus One General] ecl207:
hello.

i have run into some problems when trying to install the stable mod described in the guide from the sticky post at the top of this category. well more or less, i referenced other guides as well but they were all effectively the same.

after rebooting post installing the cyanogenmod image my phone seemed to be functioning fine. i noticed that the google apps were not available (despite having used the backup and restore proprietary google apps from the recovery menu) so i restarted the phone in recovery mode and flashed the google addon and rebooted again. as soon as the phone came up this time it started throwing up error messages:

"Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

i can dismiss the error dialog but another replaces it. sometimes the process named is different. i cannot recall the other examples right now. i have tried to turn the phone off with the power button, the confirm dialog does appear but is buried under the error messages mentioned above and i cannot get to it to confirm. i have tried holding the power button down hoping there is some hardware shut down. no dice. i am getting ready to pull the battery but thought i better throw this out to the masses before i did so.

huh interesting. it just stopped doing the above. it chimed and then displayed the boot screen in a frozen state.

the only way i deviated from the general directions in the above mentioned post were to flash the google addon package after a reboot as mentioned before.

how safe is it to pull the battery and what would the next steps be? if i wipe the "data/factory reset " and then reinstall the cyanogen img will i be back where i was before the google addon install? i am not really sure what command eliminates the android installation. perhaps i need to do a more extreme wipe of the device. alternatively i can execute a nandroid restore.

now it is back to the dialogs again.

i am mostly concerned that pulling the battery may brick the phone. am i being irrational?

the phone is a nexus one. i am in the uk on vodafone if that is relevant. the packages i installed are the ones listed on posting above.

i did not flash the radio.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

e

edit- i have fixed the issue. i was able to use the adb reboot utility to boot to recovery mode. from there i was able to restore my backup image. i then retried installing the cm and addon packages and kept having the same issue. finally i tried to download a new version of the addon img and that worked. for some reason i had to unmount and remount my sd card after i got everything working again.
[Nexus One General] ecl207:
correction

sorry the packages i installed were not the ones listed in the post above. they were the ar recovery img (that was the same) the cyanogenmod 5.0.6 image and the google addon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Frixxion:
2 Weeks ago, I downgraded my phone from 6.5 to 6.1 and so far I really like WM6.1 again. It's just waaaaaaaay faster on the Rhodium! However, I have a problem and I can't find a solution anywhere...

When I receive a new SMS, the number on the sms tab in TF3D doesn't increase. It just stays the same as though I have 0 new sms's. I do get a notification in the top of my screen. The counter of the email tab does work.

I did find alot of solutions for the "Phantom SMS" problem, but they don't seem to apply for my problem.

Who has the solution to my problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Frixxion:

[Hero CDMA General] Sottilde:
I'm running DarchDroid AOSP w/JIT, certainly the fastest Hero ROM out there but not always the most functional. As many people know VVM doesn't work and you have to use Google Voice or some other alternative if you want VVM. Unfortunately, the instructions given by google (dial *28 plus the number you want to forward) doesn't appear to work on many Sprint phones. Here's the info you need to set up GV on a Sprint phone, taken from a Sprint rep. AFAIK the *28 code doesn't work but if you do the individual steps (busy and no answer) separately you achieve the same result.

Ok its been tested and working fine. Only issue is single-touch controls otherwise its a very fun filled game to play on your HD2 device. I will make a longer version in the future. I also place my full version of bongy adventure in this forum. I had programmed for HD for past year now Iam moving here. I look forward to working with the ladies and gentlemen here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Xp3RiM3nT:
Hey Zarpy, It works quite well but doesn't support multi touch :(

the buttons are a little larger than they need to be on the hd2 but its looks amazing at the moment.

Cheers for the awesome work in game development.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mallie:
Hi - This game does work on the HD2, just a suggestion but if you were making a full version multitouch would be benificial to add..

For running and junping together ect. would make it alot more playable,

Hope this helped.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zarpy:
buttons and touch

Ok thanks for the feedback as I didnt have the phone to test it on.

I can fix the buttons and resize them to be smaller. The problem is multi-touch which is a phone issue. Customers complained to to Microsoft about resistive screens. Microsoft said that HD2 would be multi-touch but I guess not. Now thier saying windows phone7 will have multi-touch but now based on the answers here I find it hard to believe. Thank you for the feedback so should I continue to add more levels?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gdog1977:
Not without multi touch, HD2 definitely is capable of it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zarpy:
examples

Ok what games have you played that are multi-touch? I need to know so I can find out which compiler there using to make the games.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
HDwobble2 is multitouch HERE
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] krogoth:
As well as FPSECE, most of multitouch apps for Leo are using HTCAlbum hack.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
The multitouch part has nothing to do with windows mobile :) Actually windows mobile 6.5 doesn't support capacitive screens, and HTC had to write the code for it to work themselves. If you want to add multitouch to your program you must therefore use their API, which I believe is lying around somewhere on the forum :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
LMT's controller mode has shown the HD2 has multi-touch so it's not a hardware limitation. I have used it playing Crash Bandicoot on FPSEce and it works perfectly.

Alright thanks for the feedback. As of now Iam running the touchpro2 which is not the same as HD2. I see what I can do to add multi-touch . The problem for me is I dont use visual studios , I use game editor. You see more of me I will make some really cool free games for everyone to enjoy.

Is it just me or are the main freezes from using the messaging app? My ROM (Elegancia 7.7) is great. Shout out to the Dev, but every ROM has the same problem. It's gotta be cuz of HTC Messaging 1.5...

get energy ROM may 13th 21903 version.

may not be as finger friendly but the messaging app is much better. no slow loading, quickly can reply without lag. it is much better. i text a lot and have tried many roms. I installed this two weeks ago and haven't even thought about installing any other.

[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
Well, after using X1 for a long time I switched to X10. As I am quite new with Android I am searching on the net for best Android Apps, but some doesn't fill up my screen entirely. I searched the thread, but could not find this kind of topic, so I start one

So, I thought to help each other out and point each other on some cool application/game maybe we can share here our top 5:

I will start with 6 in this top 5;-)

1. Astro File Manager (Free, from Market)

I really was surprised there was no file manager as default in the X10. This one is very good and now you can install your .apk files from your storage card as well. A must have for everyone.

2. Zedge (Free, from Market)

A lot of very nice wallpapers and ringtones you can view/listen to, download and set as your default ones in just a few taps. Works great.

3. ACT1 VideoPlayer (Not Free, from Market)

Very nice videoplayer.

4. My Soccer 24/7 (Free, from Market)

All Major leagues, news, live scores and everything you need as a soccer addict.

5. Well, one game than.... WSOP Poker (not free, from Market).

It's not made for the X10, so it's a bit blurry, but the fingerfriendly controls of the game are just stunning.

6. Advanced Task Killer (Free, from Market)

Will shotdown the apps running in the background, I assume this will save a lot of battery power.

I am now still looking for a widget I can put on my home screen which allows me to control the musicplayer. Actually, I did not found a very good designed (black-themish) music player so far, so maybe some one knows a good player including a widget you can control it with.

Cheers,

Arnold
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Definitely check out TuneWiki, has a black theme and a widget
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
twicca - free twitter app with widget and is very polished and easy to use. has addon twitpic

sportstap - all sports scores and live updates with widget as well

ebuddy - instant messaging app with almost all online messengers

weather & toggle wiget (paid) - weather widget that is really nice

xperai flashlight - flashlight app with own widget

others i want to mention -

bluetooth on/off widget

others that havent been mentioned:

qype is very useful.. finds nearby takeawayz, restaurant, nightlife, bars, shopz and much more based on your location within no time! It showz how far the places are in km's and some of them are also reviewed and when you click on a location you get details such as address and telephone no. Gps needs to be switched on for this

app protector is a must if you want to hide things from nosy people who forexample just read your messagez, take no.z from your phonebook and what not. Prevents user from accessing any apps you choose by either pin/pattern lock!

music junk is an amazing app.. i think you might only find this online though! type any song you want and this music database will most likely have it.. you can alwayz keep up to date with the songz ur matez hav. holdin your finger on the desired song allows you to preview and download.. also a lyrics option which will try n find d lyrics 4 u (doesnt use browser 4 this either). Note - i think preview only works once it has fully loaded.

SwiftKey - i gotta say im really liking this app now. This app has a decent UI but its prediction is just 2 good 2 be true. It can analyse from all your previous messages aswell as help predicting your next word a breeze!! saves alot of time!!

Wifi File Explorer - Perfect for people with wifi at home - this allows you to use internet explorer to access your phone contents and also allows you to upload files to your phone.. very useful app! no need to rely on them silly cables!

hope you enjoy!! :D

would also like to add in yxflash - gotta be the only player i know off that can play avi/divx files.. and more! no need to convert anymore!!

I am going to be headed over to Taiwan and China for the next couple of weeks so I called TMO to get an international plan to receive data. Well turns it out THERE IS NO SUCH PLAN and that each 1mb of data equals $15. Yeah I could put in a local SIM card but that won't give email and internet. And why should I, the N1 is touted as an international phone. This news was thoroughly disappointing because I will now have to rely on my crappy Blackberry for email (which is the reason I switched to Android in the first place). If there any international travelers here please let me know if there are any tricks that I should be aware of. Otherwise this is disappointing that a GSM phone can be used outside the US only if you willing to be bent over the table without any... you get the point.
[Nexus One General] superg81:
i went to australia earlier this year and encountered the same problem.their international plans suck major ass.only thing i could do was pull sim card and run off wifi using any hotspots that i could find.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
yea blame T-Mobile...I'm curious what other carrier in the US has a international roaming plan?
[Nexus One General] jlevy73:
One of the reasons I have TMO is because of their fantastic international roaming coverage. That is why I was surprised to see that they have none for the Nexus.

As far as international roaming plans, every carrier does, just not for the Android. So yeah I'm putting that blame on TMO and Google.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I'm pretty sure every carrier has insane pricing for international roaming.

The benefit of gsm phones is that you pop a sim card for wherever you're going, not that you're carrier will support you in east bumblefuck.
[Nexus One General] btmec:
All carriers are like that. That is why when the iphone first came out people were returning home with $3K phone bills. http://boingboing.net/2007/07/31/att-iphone-intl-roam.html

http://gizmodo.com/297999/idiots-keep-incurring-iphones-roaming-data-charges

The phone is an international phone but the plans aren't. Get a SIM with a data plan. When I go overseas that is what I do. Typically $100 will give you unlimited data and enough minutes and texts to last your whole trip. At the end of a trip overseas I usually have minutes left over.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Yeah, I don't see why you think you won't get internet over there from a local phone company, since they would be the one providing internet to you anyways with your T-Mobile card (They just charge T-Mobile a small amount, and T-Mobile jacks up the price to make money off you).

Just get a pre-paid sim card with internet access.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
LoL gotta save this one to my "cursing without getting banned " stack ;)
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
I'd recommend you to buy a new prepaid sim card with a data plan.

Here in India, we get a new sim card for Rs.20 (every street has ~5 shops) and 2GB data for Rs.90 :D and there are no stupid contracts (even if there were, we'd buy it on fake identities)... Thats the benefit of living in a developing nation ;)

1 American Dollar = 45 Indian Rupees...
[Nexus One General] logger:
+1 Same thing here if you were visiting Australia. You can buy a Telstra prepaid sim for $2 which when charged with some credit gives you exceptional coverage and good data speed. Works best on the 900mhz AT&T phone although will still work well on the 850mhz T-Mobile model.
[Nexus One General] jlevy73:
Thanks everyone for your feedback, much appreciated.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
T-Mobile = 900/AWS(which is 1700)/2100

AT&T = 850/1900/2100

[Nexus One General] logger:
Ah yes sorry. Had that rrrrrs about. Should have said "Works best on the 850mhz AT&T phone although will still work well on the 900mhz T-Mobile model."
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
The phone is a fine international phone. The carrier sucks. How is the phone to blame if TMO doesn't offer an international plan?

I travel from Romania to Netherlands and every time i'm in Netherlands i insert my prepaid Vodafone NL card and i activate the internet for 10 euros. 500mb - 1GB of data per month.

If i'm using more than that i buy again for another 10 euros. Is that simple. That's what you should do. A local prepaid sim with an internet service is ALWAYS going to be cheaper than an international plan from TMO.
[Nexus One General] faizalmzain:
too bad you guys in US have very bad telcos, here in malaysia we can roam data for less than USD10 unlimited data per day.

but of course not in all countries in the world.
[Nexus One General] logger:
:eek: $10 x 365 days = $3,650 per year. Geez you must have deep pockets. You can buy a car for that in Australia.

Do you perhaps mean $10 per month or $1 per day?
