[Droid Incredible Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
If i understand this correctly: The version that ROM Manager reports and boots into is actually a virtual version. This is because, due to the fact that NAND isn't unlocked yet ROM manager can't actually write to it, So when it is "flashing the recovery" it really is only flashing a "virtual recovery". This is why you could on some phones have an older version of recovery flashed and ROM manager would report a newer version that is available.

In short to answer your question, you can't get ROM manager to report the newer version until rom manager has that newer version in it's list, which it currently does not. And even when it is in the list it makes no difference anyway, because unless you boot into recovery using the power button and volume button, the recovery that you boot into will be a virtual one anyway.... so it really makes no difference what ROM Manager is reporting.

And if i am incorrect in my understanding then, disregard all of this but i remember another post with all this in it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lexus One:
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback on this. It would explain why I am seeing a different version for the ROM Manager. What I still don't understand is why ROM Manager misleads you into thinking you are booting to the recovery partition. I mean, why even have an option in the program to "Reboot into Recovery" if you are really NOT booting into the recovery partition, but rather a virtual recovery. So, what would happen if you tried to use the virtual recovery as opposed to the real recovery (which in this case is a different version)? Anyone know, or have tried it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
other than flashing a new recovery, the recovery that rom manager boots into works exactly the same as the "real one" in fact i don;t do it the "hard way" any more.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jbarrs12:
This is probably a dumb question but do I open the img file after I plug in the phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Easiest way is this:

1) Uninstall ROM Manager.

2) Reinstall ROM Manager.

ROM Manager will now display no version, as opposed to the wrong version.

And then...

Never again use the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" command in ROM Manager. If you want to update recovery, use the unrevoked flasher with the custom recovery option.

When I do a NAND Backup, does it backup the radio???

Just wondering in case I have problems with the radio I flash... if I can go back to where I am today (including the radio)...

Thanks!

No it does not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkfitz:
So what if I want to go back to my stock 1.36 radio (or would there be no reason for me to do this since 2.05 is that much better)?

Also, will the 2.05 radio work with any ROM (including my stock sprint rooted 1.32.651.6 firmware)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Read. This has been discussed 100 times.

The new radio will only work with the newest stock OTA or a ROM that is based off the newest OTA which is clearly spelled out in the first post of any new ROM thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkfitz:
Ok... thx... I hate to follow up with more noob questions, but does that mean I need to flash a latest OTA rom before I can go to CM6 because I need to flash the lastest radio BEFORE installing cm6?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
No, you can flash radios and kernels separately from ROMs. Just flash CM6, then flash a radio, and you should be good.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_ROMs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Follow the instructions on the thread for the ROM you want to install.

And since I can see this coming a mile away, if you flash CM6, you will lose 4G and HDMI. No there is no way around it. So don't do it then wonder why it doesn't work.

Hello people! I´m Rodrigo from Brazil and my English is not very good.

I bought a HTC Touch Cruiser and I'm trying to unlock and am having difficulties.

First I downloaded the program PolarisUnlock. The first step worked ok but the second displays the error "error [226]: Flash Write and the process stops. The phone comes with 3 color screen, and you must run the first step of PolarisUnlock to have the phone working again.

Eu identifiquei no forum que é necessário executar o "Hard SPL 1.20", mas ao fazer o procedimento do link abaixo, nada acontece, o telefone apenas reinicia e volta tudo ao normal.

forum . xda - developers . com / showthread.php?t=330496&page=2

Can anyone help me?

Phone Information:

Hi mmelo,

I followed the tip and at the last step the software displays a message that the phone is already unlocked, but on the phone display the following message appears:

"You don't appear to have flashed the radio, did something go wrong with step 2?"...

This question has no choice, only X to close the message window.

You know what can this happening? :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
It would be great if there was an employee of Samsung / HTC / other phone manufacturers as a contact point between the dev community and the manufacturers themselves.

Eg: to look through forums such as this, see what everyone's saying, keep us posted on news and dates and seek honest feedback from us.

The only people who look through XDA are those interested in modding and installing custom firmwares anyway, so regular consumers would gain the benefit of us testing the stuff out without them having to be aware of it.

Plus, one of the deciding factors of many enthusiasts when buying a new Android phone is the dev community and support, so you can guarantee they would gain at least a few more sales from those interested.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
That will make them way too vurnerable and the benefits will never justify the costs. The game they play is how to make as much as profit as one can. From that perspective things are good if and only if the sales figures are good. So, for them, sales figures are all the feedback they need :p:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
If they did do such a scheme, it would be in Korea.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
I've done some professional alpha/beta software/firmware testing back in the days... You seem to think it's some playground where you test whatever the fad of the day is. Let me tell you, it's not. There's no way in hell you're going to sit down and do serious testing. It involves thousands of little things, which is why bigger things sometimes slip by, they're tested as working at some point and simply not retested in later builds and something has had impact on it that wasn't expected. Very few of you would spend hours to sort out every little thing that might be a problem with texting for example, or sending a few hundred mails of different kinds to make sure there's nothing wrong with the mail client. Or install 200 bogus apps and make sure they all count to 10 (or whatever they do) at launch.

(Obviously, Samsung might have different ways to handle testing than [company name withheld], I'm quite confident that it boils down to the same kind procedure anyway.)

What you want to do is more like "release candidate"-testing where all you do is use the phone as you would anyway. There's no way in hell a company would waste money on getting that sorted by some random blokes claiming to be "experts" because they hang on the "right" forums on the internet.

Get real!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
Oooh, no fair! I wanted to be the one to say it! Phooey.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Agreed, they'd not rely on an internet comunity to do all of their testing, and that seems logical.

I've done some extensive UI/Database testing for a Fortune 500 company and it's a pain in the ass, however the developers give you a product that is almost finished and rather polished so you don't have thousands of bugs.

Another point is that the testing is much faster when u have several people at it.

Samsung is a huge company, they have quality devs so in the end it's not like everything is buggy.

What is beneficial from communities like this one is that their is a wide variety of users having an extensive and in depth use of their phones. Some pros have issues with exchange servers or openVPN, others with the music player etc. It gives a good sample of the population and its needs and wants.

Honestly it would make sense if Samsung was looking around in some Korean forums which have a huge community to check for bug reports (don't they have a bug report section on their site??) and areas of improvement.

Just look at how many firmwares are coming out.

Fix Kies issues before you release 2.2 please

I have tried to upgrade my device to a latest firmware shown in Kies but never succeeded with it till now. In windows 7 after downloading the binary the device gets disconnected and the upgrade stalls and in windows xp the binary downloads but again gets disconnected without upgrading when it says 'upgrade has started'.

I wrote to samsung they replied telling, don't upgrade with Kies via your PC take it to the service center and that they will do for me.

But I haven't yet used odin or others as discussed in this forum pages but waiting patiently hoping that you will fix this issue when the froyo comes out. Or please release the upgrade via samsung app store.
