Thanks for the quick feedback.

Improvement #3... GUI

As for the .smil file, you are absolutely correct. However, the issue is not knowing that there are files present, but finding the boundaries of the data. Arcsoft's binary packed format uses header bytes to describe how data is stored. Unfortunately, even though I was able to determine many of the header fields, without documentation I have no idea what they mean or what others may be used in a given archive. It does seem to depend on what kind of phone sent the MMS. Still, I think you may have a good idea going. I could perform a second pass after extracting the .smil, which is just XML, using file names and a lazy search.

One thing I didn't have on my phone was an MMS containing a movie file. I should try that out...

This is a great tool!

It works under desktop Windows.

How about a tool that can be used in WM itself? Anyone thought of that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] civicvx94:
My brother just bought a myTouch 3g LE and unlocked it for use on Cincinnati Bell. CinBell and T-Mobile both use the same 1700/2100 3g frequencies so he should get 3g just fine (for the record my Nexus One gets incredible 3g in the area on CinBell).

He can't connect to any network at all now. At first his internet was very spuratic, no 3g and only occasionally edge. We tried every possible APN settings we can find for CinBell android phones (Hero, N1, Blaze, and other random combinations with no luck). Next I did a hard reset and tried the combo's again to no avail.

Does anyone have any insight why he cant connect to the network? He even just got a new sim card to ensure he had a 3g one..

Is there a radio update out he might need? Should I try a T-mobile sim to ensure the radio is opporating properly?

My next step is to root/unlock the bl and flash it.Then try.But at this point I'm feeling pretty pessimistic...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dojamobile:
im not familiar with that fone right now but do you think it needs some net isp specific configs,
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] civicvx94:
Yes I've tried quite a few different combos with no luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] civicvx94:
No one has any idea why this unlocked phone wont connect to 2g/3g with the same settings that work on my Nexus?

The cs rep simply said "some unlocked phones just have this issue," and i just find that very hard to believe.
[EVO 4G General] sloth3:
Ok, so I would really like to use froyo without flashing my phone....When is the OFFICIAL release for the evo??? Also when the hell is Googles app inventor going to be released. I sent my email out weeks ago, and still nothing. HELP!!
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
And the answer to both these questions are......wait for it...

wait for it..

wait for it....

NOBODY KNOWS! No official release date of either have been announced. Google them next time.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
FWIW, I heard Froyo should be out by Christmas.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
I also heard that Gingerbread will be out before Valentine's Day next year, and Sprint will be giving out free upgrades to the EVO 2.0 for everyone who bought an original EVO on launch day.

The EVO 2.0 will have: CDMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, EvDO, HSPA+, UMTS, 802.16m WiMAX, LTE-Advanced, dual Micro-SIM card slots, a 6" Super AMOLED, 1.5Ghz dual-core ARM CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal memory, a microSDXC slot, and come with a 128GB microSDXC card. It will cost USD$150.00 with a two year contract/renewal unless you have Sprint Premier, which almost every EVO owner should have already.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
HTC, anytime from next week to December, 2010.

Cyanogenmod Froyo, probably within 2-3 weeks, 1 month max (based on reported progress, I'm guessing here)
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
I really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but for the sake of conversation...

FREE upgrades? Never gonna happen in a million years.

6 inch Super AMOLED? Oh God, please no. 4.3 is already pushing it, I feel like anything above 4.5 will be overkill. Especially 6". At that point it's not a phone, it's a tablet and it certainly won't fit in your pocket. And isn't Samsung supposed to have exclusivity on Super AMOLED screens for a year or something?

The EVO is already $250 on contract, with all those upgrades, it couldn't possibly be $100 less.

Whomever sold you that rumor is smoking some serious stuff! :eek:
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
I'll give you a hint, House should've been a red-flag, and the obviously overzealous specs should've been a red flag (C'mon, Sprint with a dual-microSIM?).
[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
Lolz you been TROLLED :D

Though there is a phone coming out... codenamed the "EVO 2" with a 1.5 Ghz processor (which doesn't excite me at all if it's another ****ty snapdragon) but that's all I've heard. The rest of those specs were pretty ridiculous :p
[EVO 4G General] SPENONE:
Hey, Android 4.0 release tomorrow @ midnight. You have to tie your phone to a stick and stick it as far in the sky as you can and it will upgrade automatically. Cant wait!:eek::rolleyes::eek::rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcasante:
Hey Guys,

I was just wondering.

Now that Fring and Skype had their falling out and fring removed the ability to make skype calls, is there anyway around it?

I mean Fring/Skype was one of the main reasons why I went Evo instead of iPhone4.

I know they have facetime but thats only on Wifi with other facetimers. For a while there I was in heaven being able to chat with all my skype friends while on the go...

I know there's a skype lite beta in the wild that kind of helps a little but doesn't Verizon Androids have skype?

Do they have the ability to do front facing cam chat?

And if so, can't it be ported to other non verizon phones???

(I know, I'm full of questions. What can I do, I'm a noob at this :) )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
+1, is there an old version of Fring out there with Skype support still in it, a non-Verizon-locked version of Skype, or a hack that can be used? Not having Skype is a bit of a killer for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrazr7791:
Man and I was wanted to try out Skype!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epmacman:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gudda1:
you and me both!

Bumping this thread in hopes of possibly finding an old version of fring that still has Skype integrated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muf454:
I believe they disabled skype support on their server so you can't just get an old version. It most likely won't let you connect to your skype account, given that people were having problems connecting before the skype-less version was released..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
I know there is a skype beta app floating around the apps and themes section but it doesn't do video chat.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b_allert:
verizon reserved rights for mobile to skype calls. as far as i know you can only use video chat to other iphones and front facing cameras.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jistevens:
I just got my wife an unlocked touch dual (neon200) and much to our dismay it is a 20key. She wouldl ike to be able to use T9 on the number keys like her old dumbphone.

Is there a hardware/software change/tweak to change from 20key to 16key for this phone?

[Touch HD General] shadowjaro:
Hi.

I have got a HTC Blackstone and recently after flashing a new version of a rom I'm usually using my phone stopped reading my sim card. Just about a week after I did it. Never had any problems with that so I'm curious if it might be a hardware issue. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit. To be more specific, its latest Energy rom reference. Forgot the build number but its the stable one. I obviously tried hard resetting and I have also tried flashing a different rom but it didn't help. I'm considering going back to stock rom but I don't know if it will help.
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
start using pimbackup

i had a simular problem..

no fix dude..
[Touch HD General] cryptic03:
This is so not cool!

Had my HTC Blackstone for just over a year now, flashed the new energy ROM and the next day it vibrated in my pocket. I thought I had a txt but it said that the sim card was missing. Restarted it countless times, each time taking out the battery and the sim and blowing on it to remove any dust... nothing! Tried flashing various different ROMs including the latest official WWE.. nothing! If there is ANY fix for this, help would be greatly appreciated... if there is none i might as well buy a super cheap phone while i save up for a 7 Pro as it may take a while... working at Woolworths doesn't exactly pay well, especially when your 17 :P Thanx for the $800 dollar paperweight HTC! :P
[Touch HD General] TheArcherPilot:
Hey bud, I had the same problem with three of my devices. I believe it's hardware related. i actually had to put two bits of paper behind the sim card to push it against the connection terminals. It is really dodgy but my HD doest have a problem reading the card. :)

Also try gently cleaning the terminal points on the sim card with a dry cloth, this helps also. :D

Hope this helps, BJ.

Question? Sry for the noob question, but I have a G1/Dream with update2.1. But for some reason, the pre installed FB app won't work, nor it won't update to the new version from the Marketplace.

Everytime I try, it says something like 'package file was not signed corretly' Can somebody help me with this? Thanks.

can i ask u. did u have root to make ur firmware2.1 or u received google update ? because i am not rooted my g1 but i am waiting for update.thank u
[G1 Apps and Games] xyrcncp:
Can you uninstall it from Settings > Manage Applications ?

@romano_ezzat

There's no official 2.1 update for the G1, so the OP's phone must be rooted and running a 2.1 ROM.

but i cant do that myself because i am in Egypt i wish to root my phone but i want anyone be with me online to tell me step by step.thank u

Two ways to do it, possibly more but these are free.

In ABD-

mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/Facebook.apk

Keep up the good work, we want root every time =)

Dont read that before

That doesn't seem fair! Android is about open source.

In some senses, we agree; but at times, a tradeoff needs to be made. Releasing the source code for this, we believe, would compromise the greater ability to unlock devices like these in the future. Given the choice between sacrificing the liberty of running code on our handsets and the liberty of reading the code by which we unlock it, we feel that the millions of handsets are more important. It is unfortunate that we must make such a choice, and we look forward to the day in the future that no such decision need be made.

Hope HTC will not detect your method ;-) Dont release it !!! =)

This is the first time I've really been tempted to root my Desire. I don't have a gold card though and admit I'm a noob as far as Android and rooting is concerned, so I'll hold off until the earlier queries are answered I guess.

Ok please bear with me, i am new to android but not with flashing.

1.I will be using unrevoked, to root my desire, is this any different to rooting of xda.

3.If i stuck at any procedure of rooting through unrevoked, how will i recover??

[Desire Android Development] Number22:
It works!

This is unbelievably simple!

Did it with an Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD and all it comes down to is sudo ./reflash!

This is amazing! Many thanks to the developers!

To all who can't get it to work:

1) Download a Linux live distribution (Ubuntu preferrably, but I think it's doable with DSL as well) and burn it to a CD. Reboot and start Linux.

2) Download the Linux package from unrevoked.com/recovery

3) Extract the archive and put the "reflash" to wherever you want.

4) Open up a Console application (Applications\Accessories\Terminal in Ubuntu)

5) Navigate to the folder with the reflash file (If you dragged it onto the desktop, type "cd Desktop/" *enter*)

6) Run it with "sudo ./reflash" *enter*

7) Connect the phone with USB debugging enabled and let it do it's magic.

Once again, brilliant work!
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
is there a way after wards to tell if the job was successful,

installed driver succesfully, unrevoked3 said waiting for bootloader

then it went to bootloader and the restarted on its own

I dont know if that worked or not as I am doing this whilst at work tee hee :D

can i assume that worked or is there a way to check
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
Hi guys

I'm thinking of giving this another go

A couple of questions before I nearly brick it again like last night

Can I install apps2sd with this as trying the normal ways had no luck and

I tried creating a partion last night and nearly bricked it.

Can I just download a Froyo ROM, copy to SD and install it with RECOVERY?

Would that be better than using/trying an apps2sd like prog?

Help mee pleease!
[Desire Android Development] clarkee:
So.... I want to install [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)

Do I just drop the rom and radio zip files onto my SD, boot into the recovery and apply them both there without restarting inbetween?
[Desire Android Development] mtbsoft.:
I simply went to the market and searched for something simple that needed root access, installed and ran it... and it worked.

Damn but this is sooooo simple... it's beautiful! Next thing I grabbed from AMarket was ROM Manager!
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Put them on your SD and boot to recovery as you said. Then install the rom. Boot the phone and let it start up fully.

Go back to recovery then flash the radio. The radio flash will reboot twice and it may look like it's not working. Do NOT interrupt the radio flash, just let it run till it reboots back into Android. If you interrupt the radio you will totally brick the phone so be careful on that one!
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
Yeah, it is a good idea to perform all the wipes under the "Wipe" menu before flashing any roms. You will lose all your data and apps when you do this though, so its a good idea to know what you have installed previously so you can restore them.

Although, since you have flashed using unrEVOked 3.1, and have recovery (and therefore root access), you should be able to download Titanium Backup from the market and backup all your apps. I am not 100% sure if this will work though.

Personally I always flash ROMS and Radios seperately, with a reboot inbetween, but thats just the way I do it.

Remember NEVER INTERRUPT A RADIO FLASH!!!!! THIS WILL BE AN INSTANT BRICK!!!!!

I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong, but it should be fine if you wipe first.

Also do a NANDROID backup (In Backup/Restore menu in recovery first).

Stu
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
I have the same question I think dude

So I just copy the Froyo ROM onto SD

Install ROM in recovery

How do I flash the radio and is it necssary?

Will I be able to save apps2sd with Froyo?

sorry
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Flash the radio in exactly the same way as a rom. The radio is necessary to allow 720p recording, and I think it is now a requirement for these roms. So yes, flash it too.

I know the warnings about radio flashing may look scary but it's really simple. Flash it like a rom, don't interrupt it, and be patient!

Edit: Regarding a2sd. It depends on your rom.
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
Ok cheers dude

I'm reading through the [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team) thread and I'm unsure about the a2sd feature in this FROYO

Does it work?

What do I need to do for a2sd?

I dont have a goldcard is one needed at all when using Unrevoked?

Sorry
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
..ah i see what the problem is , i am suffering from the bug thats in pages 8 and 9 : (

has this been resolved yet ?
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I'm using that rom now, it has both the Google version (crap) and the older and better version. You need to partition your SD card for the old style a2sd to work. I'd do that then flash the rom, reboot, then flash radio.

Remember that partitioning will delete everything on the SD card so back it up if you need anything on it.

When partitioning, choose 0 for swap, 512 for ext, and the rest fat32. Do this in recovery.
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
Cheers for the help mate

But when partitioning with that Recovery I don't think it gave me them options last night

Allthough I haven't installed the FROYO ROM yet, or done anything to SD, should I format it to FAT32?

Do I need any other progs to create partitions

Sorry for the noob questions cheers
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
OK another way to partition and flash the rom is using rom manager from the market. Download that then use it to partition, flash the rom, then flash radio. it works in exactly the same way as the recovery you have been using. So after you partition, put the rom and radio on SD to flash them.
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
Ok cheers for the help mate,

I've been following steps that use the usuall root method, and getting really mixed up, so I didn't know if theyd be applicable when using Unrevoked.

Will try this thanks dude

Forgot to mention Im on a branded?!? Tmobile (I think) if that makes any difference?
[Desire Android Development] clarkee:
Uh Oh

I did this method. Downloaded sensefroyo_v1.0c.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726300

Wiped user data etc. and flashed the rom. It said it completed correctly so I restarted the phone.

Now it's stuck on the 'Android' animation while starting up. Any ideas on what I could do now?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
woa Thats the one I'm just about to install, did you flash the radio too?
[Desire Android Development] b6rt:
Hi guys !

Do you know how to use Unrevoked to flash the

Amon Ra

recovery, instead of the default ClockworkMod ?

On the Wiki of Unrevoked* they say :

What do they mean by : "You will need to choose a file" ?

Did anyone manage to do this ?

Thanks for your help :o

* unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked
[Desire Android Development] twistedteak:
when you load the reflash.exe, top left of the box go to file>Custom Recovery and browse to the recovery you want (have to download first obviously)
[Desire Android Development] b6rt:
OK ! I thought the tool was only Command Line Interface ... thanks !

Did anyone try to install Amon RA then ?
[Desire Android Development] Number22:
Did you flash the radio? If not, reboot into recovery (power up the phone while holding the volume down button) and flash it. And if yes, try wiping again.
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
How long has it been doing this for? Some ROMs will take a long time to start on first boot.

Don't worry, it is normally an SD partitioning issue that causes bootloops. Have you partitioned your SD card at all? The first thing to try is simply pull the battery and start the phone again.

If that doesn't help, let us know, I am sure someone will be able to help further.

I think as long as you can get into recovery, you will be ok.
[Desire Android Development] clarkee:
I wiped again after the initial ROM write and it booted the ROM fine. I may have just fudged up the first wipe.

The radio flashed fine too. I did it while drinking a beer in the hot sun during my lunch hour, it was sweet.

Thanks everybody, this rocks.
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
I have just got the exact prob with same ROM

did you find any fix?

I'm wary of just pulling batt
[Desire Android Development] clarkee:
go and do another wipe :)
[Desire Android Development] rakber:
trying that now mate cheers

Seems to be hanging on the android writing again :(

I did a full wipe and then tried installing ROM then Radio again
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
Glad you got it sorted. It gets less scary every time you do it.

I *think* almost everything can be recovered from except a bad or interrupted radio flash.
