A little update on this:

JUST IN CASE: DO NOT TRY THIS, YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE - MINE DIDN'T BUT YOU NEVER KNOW

I extracted the file param.lfs from the .tar that we use to flash the phones (aka firmware) and did a quick hexedit on it just to replace the logo_ATNT.jpg rename the file to something else.

Then I added this file to a tar archive (I named it brick.tar) and flashed it with odin3.

The boot logo still there but before it showed up there was a "noise" screen, probably a corrupted image file from my hexediting...

I just need to find out how to remove/add files to this param.lfs file.

--- original post ---

Hello, I was looking on my file system then I found some JPG files on /mnt/.lfs.

Among the files I found Hello, I was looking on my file system then I found some JPG files on logo_ATNT.jpg which is the first thing you see when you turn on the phone.

I can write files there, I can copy from there but I can't rename or delete any file.

Does anyone know how I can modify it?

Thank you.

P.S.: Here are some of the files

Is your phone rooted?
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
Yes please, someone figure this out :D
[Captivate General] LGSilva:
Yes, my phone is rooted. Im using JH2 with the 1.2GHz overclock kernel.
[Captivate General] Kagoshema:
use root explorer and mount as r/w

i just did it and renamed logo_ATNT.jpg to logo_ATNT.jpg.bak

edit: no i didnt? it looks like as soon as i leave that folder it will rename it back. so im not sure if i actually renamed it and its getting changed or if it never really renamed it
[Captivate General] Kagoshema:
can we try using an update.zip to replace them?
[Captivate General] mostyle:
Hmm..

Don't know if it's the same or not.. But I've already tried modifying the files using Clockwork via busybox.. Same result from the adb shell via Clockwork as when in adb shell in the actual running OS.. Operation not permitted.

Could to explain a bit more what you meant by loading a boot.bin? How do I do that?
[Captivate General] opcow:
/dev/block/stl6 is mounted as /mnt/.lfs

I dumped it with the command dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/mnt/sdcard/stl6.bin

Thats not much use though. The question is, how to build a j4fs image to replace the one in /dev/block/stl6
[Captivate General] BumRush:
This is my first android phone and I have no programming experience. That just went right over my head. lol I guess this is a bit too advanced for me.

I debranded and got OTA 2.2. Then the next day, my phone went funny. It not just constantly reboots onto the white HTC screen. I have managed to get to load AdamG' s PB99IMG file, but then it fails and says incorrect CID.

Can someone please help me with what I need to do.

I am in the UK, and happy to call someone who can talk me through the procedure.

Otherwise its gonna be an embarassing visit to T Mobile, and pretend I know nothing !!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
for the CID problem, I am pretty sure (please correct me if I am wrong) that you need a goldcard if you have not done it yet. its easy, go on google and type in, "Debranding / Unlocking an HTC Desire". Click on the first topic and fallow the instructions on creating a goldcard.

hope this helps, good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
Thanks for your reply, I cant make a goldcard, as i cant access the phone. So i am a bit stuck

i have managed to upload

and it all went through ok, but it's still stuck on the white HTC screen, if this loaded, does it mean the sd card in the device is still a ' goldcard ' ?

when i go into the bootloader screen, it says

incorrct imagine etc.

Cant access recovery mode, just hangs on white screen.

Help please !!!

They sell the exact protector for the captivate on the website.
[Captivate Accessories] Paladuck:
hmm i bought one but i dont think its the same one. Its the ultra crystal screen protector, not the matte one?
[Captivate Accessories] darkamikaze:
lol.. sorry to be a noob.. but can someone explain what's the difference between the 3 they have for the captivate and how exactly are the most expensive ones better than the cheaper one
[Captivate Accessories] DarkDvr:
I'm using the SGP Crystal on my Nexus One, and just bought Crystal screen protector for my parents' Captivates (both of them have 1).

I gotta say, out of all the screen protectors I had, this one is the one that's trully "Invisible" in every sense. It's feels very much like the naked screen, and is completely invisible. Even slightest distortion wouldn't cut it for me.

Highly recommend SGP screen protectors.
[Vibrant Accessories] neil85ae86:
Clarivue

I'm not sure if people were scooping them up as soon as they were listed or what but it seemed that the Clarivue wasn't available for the i9000 yet, so I emailed Cellular Link (ebay) and they located them and listed them right away.

I am so happy to have some on the way.

I've used these on every gadget I've owned over the last 6-7 years, including my kids Nintendo DSs, Gameboys, my pdas and phones, GPS, iPod touches. They go on easy, they comes off relatively easy but never by mistake (as long as your screen was clean in the first place when you applied it). On an iPod touch I cannot even tell it's there, I mention this cause it's the only other capacitive display I've tried one on. They hold up to the abuse of my kids, and the one on my HTC Touch has been on their for 2.5 years and handles being thrown in my pocket with keys etc. no problem. It has a few scratches on however the clarity is still awesome, can't say enough good about them.

I'll post a follow-up of how they work on my Vibrant next week when the phone and screen protectors arrive.

Thanks for the review. I was looking for a matte finish screen protector and couldn't find one. I have the Realook on my phone now, but I hate the shiny screen. It's terrible that these shiny screens have become the norm in so many devices including laptops and even TVs. The reflections they cause are just terrible.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pictobug:
I have handcent (which I prefer to the standard HTC text) but whenever I receive a text I get alerts for both the HTC text AND Handcent. So I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar. I've been looking for ages to find a way of disabling the HTC text but can't find anything.

Also I have a virtually identical problem with emails. whenever I receive email to my Gmail account, I receive two notifications, one for Googlemail and one for Mail. Again, I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar.

Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
you don't need to open the message, just scroll down (pull down) the notification bar and on the top right it should say "Clear" and that will get rid of any notifications you have got :) exept for music when its playing or any other program you've got running that has an icon on the notification bar..

hope this helps!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Switch off notifications in the "Messages" app (within app untick Menu->Settings->Received Notification")

Switch off notifications in one of "Gmail" or "Mail" (similarly can be done via settings in Gmail/Mail.)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pictobug:
Thanks for that, I have actually done so but I still have a problem when receiving texts. When a text comes in, I'm presented with the text displayed in the stock messaging box, I have to close that and open handcent to reply - which is quite annoying.

Any thoughts?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
This is the answer because that's exactly what myself and many others have done. I can tell you that it works.

You must have unchecked the wrong options.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
When you say the "stock messaging box", are you referring to the HTC widget? If so, you need to remove this. Also, have you ticked "Enable popup" in Handcent's notification settings?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deedend:
The Android system have a big problem with the managing of the offline incoming sms, it report the time when the sms is reached to the device instead the one when it's sended to the net.

Example: it's 11:30 p.m. , I turn off my telephone, at 2:30 a.m. a friend of mine send me an sms, the day after I turn on the device at 7:30 a.m. and I reach the message with the timestamp of 7:30 instead of 2:30!!!

There is a fix for that? Is a problem that afflict every version of Android, I have a T-Mobile G1 wich I have uploaded all Android version from 1.0 to 2.1 (thanks cyanogen), now I have a Galaxy S and the problem persist. If it's the case, I want to try to submit a petition to Google about this, but first want to make sure that it is a problem felt by the community.

thank you

SERIOUS trouble: After i flashed android 2.1 rooted on my phone it doesnt see sd cards anymore, even from recovery. But bootloader SEE it!!! so i placed rom.zip on sd and installed 1.5 official firmware from bootlader ... with no result, now official FW doesnt see any sd cards DAMN!

Any suggestions gentlemen?

maybe this is an android bug or something?

Have you tried plugging your sd card into a card reader or another device to see whether the sd is broken?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphead:
Sure , sd card is working in card reader, also i've tried to plugging other sd's... it simply, doesnt see any sd ....

is it possible to mount sd manualy, somewhere like android configs (text files like in linux) ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Send it back to HTC. Sounds like the reader in the phone has packed up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphead:
The problem is - that i bought my hero in Shanghai (it was allready rooted, and oriented to sell in france:-) Now i'm in Moscow, i called HTC Service Center and they told me that i have to wait for couple a weeks, because they dont have card reader modules to test it. I have no much time to wait, cause i'm going back to china soon in Sept. In china there are no HTC official service centers , only in Taiwan. In China HTC models are selling under the "DOPOD" trademark and i think they provide their own firmware with it (maybe i dont know). For me its a little bit complicated to describe all my problem in chiniese =) So i'm trying to find other ways to understand origins of this problem by myself...

I understand that it looks like hardware problem, but i need to be sure (because bootloader can read sd cards), so i have two questions here:

1)When bootloader starts to check roms or updates on sd card it is looking for: HIRODIAG.ZIP,HIRODIA3.NBH,HERODIA2.NBH,HIRODIAG.NBH,HIROIMG.ZIP . HIROIMG is a firmware, but what about the others? Maybe i could launch a diagnostic tool here to check my system ?

2) Are u sure there are no android configs that i can access through command promt using sdk tool usb drivers?

Thanks everyone who is trying to help me, i'm really appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Ah i missed the bit about it working in bootloader. Interesting. This would suggest it is less likely to be hardware as it doesn't perform that check when a sd-card is not inserted.

But you get nothing in recovery? Have you tried re-flashing/updating your recovery? Assuming you can put the file on the sd card.

Alternatively try flashing the official HTC WWE rru for v1.5 and see whether doing via rru is any better.

This could be a windows driver issue. Have you tried a different computer?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphead:
Recovery? u mean before i flashed official FW? NO i couldnt mount/unmount sdcard from there also.

I've tested other computers. When i connect computer and phone with usb cable windows gives me a popup window that it coudnt recognize the device. HTCSYNC, RRU tool, sdk with usb drivers nothing could see it. There is only one way to flash fw - via BOOTLOADER installation WAY

I was working with linux distributives long time ago , and i remember simillar problems there, like mount/unmount hemorrhoid . And Android is based on linux , and looks like bootloader is booting before linux thats why it works there. It seems that android fw is just a top of the iceberg, and when you flash fw probably this does't affect linux CORE....

I might be mistaken , imnot good at linux and all this stuff , thats why iam asking for help here on xda-developers, maybe someone knows ... linuxoids? ))

Or maybe i should post it somewhere else just tell me ...

Use manila.home from 2016 or if you really want to use home from 2018, you can edit the mode9 and lua manila files to remove it (probably more work than it's worth :)). You can also use Cookie's Home Tab with 2018 which I think will remove the rss feed since that mod uses files from pre-2018 sense.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchhdizzel:
Hi,

was just wondering if flashing a different radio might change the SAR Values of the phone.

I would also be interest in which components make up the transmission part of the phone? (hardware and software)

As far as I know the chefs and users of the win mobile roms were trying to improve recption by cooking different radios and/or radio dll's into their roms. While doing this the origin of the Firmware / Drivers was not always very clear and I guess that no one had the possibility to test the SAR values of these customised radios.

Additionally these radios are extracted from the shipped roms made for different countries and different countries might also use different firmwares according to the regional sar limits and according to the netowrk technology.

Naturally I would prefer to have the lowest SAR values possible or at least stay within the limits defined by the US or European authorities so I was wondering if anyone knows something on the topic.

Many Thanks

dizzel

[Galaxy S I9000 General] daviler:
I'm interested in buying an I9000 in USA,but since i don't really have a clue if its "unlocked" or "simfree" I need your help.

My question is,is the I9000 locked to a certain cellular network like T959 which is locked to T-Mobile?

If I'm buying I9000 will I be able to use it in other countries and under other cellular network providers outside of the US?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
The I9000 is the international version of the Galaxy S. The US GSM versions are the AT&T Captivate and the T-Mobile Vibrant. The Galaxy S is quad-band GSM so should work worldwide, and has 900/1900/2100MHz tri-band 3G, which are the most commonly used bands outside the US.

In the US, AT&T uses 850/1900 and T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 for 3G. Don't quote me on this, but reading around the issue it seems that the Galaxy S should be able to get 3G in areas where AT&T has 1900MHz services, but because it lacks the 1700MHz band required by T-Mobile, you won't get 3G on T-Mobile in the US.

The Galaxy S is not necessarily SIM-locked to any network, although it can be if it's bought through a carrier. If bought without a contract SIM-free it should be unlocked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daviler:
Im living in Israel and my cellular service provider uses 1800MHz so this device wont get a signal?

Happens im buying the device and its locked is there a way to unlock it?

if yes can u give me a website please?

thank u for ur answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
buy the International UK version

that one is unlocked

and it has 1800 for voice

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000

but you will only get 2G data
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
It has 1800MHz GSM (for calls/texts and GPRS data). I don't think 1800MHz is used as a 3G frequency? GSMArena says that in Israel, 850MHz and 2100MHz are used, though I don't know about specific carriers.

I've not used any unlocking services, but there are websites such as this, which offers unlocking for $30 USD (only given as an example, no recommendation implied):

http://www.unlockcellphonecode.com/product_info.php/code-for-unlocking-samsung-cell-phone-p-79

However, you should be able to buy an unlocked one. I don't know if you might be able to get one more locally for less, but, for example, this UK site sells unlocked phones (you can see the icon saying "SIM FREE UNLOCKED" under the phone):

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it is not locked

there is no need to unlock something that is not locked

at the moment there are no unlocking website for the i9000 because there is no lock
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Agreed. There is no reason for it to be locked if not bought with a contract. The I9000 is used by many carriers all around the world - there's no lock inherent to the phone.

I'm currently running the Skyraider 2.5.2 Sense rom, and as of this morning I've finally had the opportunity to use my alarm clock since upgrading from Stock 2.1 to Skyraider.

To my dismay I couldn't actually stop the alarm clock from continuing to beep. The only modification to the rom that I've made was to remove the "HTClockscreen.apk" because I like the look and feel of its Vanilla counter-part much more. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter??
[Droid Incredible General] lgldrgdlr:
You need to install another alarm clock app. I installed the stock android desk clock. Do a search for deskclock.apk. I'm sure it's around here somewhere. If you don't find it, I'll upload it later.
