You need to try with "Re-partition." until it works.

Also make sure you are using a 512.pit file.

You would have to do that to remove the SIM anyway.

Make sure you remove SIM and SDCARD.

Unrelated, but what is the reason for needing to remove the simcard (I have never done so)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy72:
Thank you every body for your help

befor this problem i use to flash with Odin 3 firmwares and had no problem.

But now i can not tick the case " Re partition " to solve the problem. I called samsung technical service and they told me to do a full " Re partition " and flash again.

The problem now is that i can't do repartition, because the flash hangs at " don't take off target" and nothing happen.

may be the phone had serious problem with memory, i had to sent back to samsung after service .

Thank you all :)

I have the same problem. I have flashed many times with different firmware versions, but it didn't work. My phone couldn't attach network, I couldn't see neither IMEI nor Baseband version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
try just flashing the modem file until it works

the modem file is what controls the radios
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
During the flash it may take the SIM as part of the hardware and ignore it once it's done flashing.

You'll have to reflash without the SIM to get it to work again.

It's not a real issue, but if you are failing with Odin I highly recommend sticking to those recommendations.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Also remove all usb devices other then phone, mouse and keyboard. Had heaps of flashing problems due to external hhds sucking power while flashing. Now works 90% of time for me. Next thing you do is find a xp box and try again.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Can someone explain a few things about backups and ROM flashes, please?

I've got a custom ROM on my Desire, and I'm using an Ext partition to hold my apps using App2SD.

I've run a full backup with Titanium Backup.

If I want to wipe and flash a new ROM, how does it work?

I do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic.

I then flash a new ROM. New ROM will presumably be faced with the apps I've already got on my SD card ext partition.

Do they just install back, or do they cause problems?

If I reinstall Titanium Backup on the new ROM and restore everything, do I end up with new ROM and all my old apps back as they were before?

Or do I need to wipe the ext partition too, before doing a restore?

Any pointers would be great.

Ric
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarsippius:
Doing a factory reset wipes all apps so if you do that before flashing the ROM all the apps will be gone from your ext partition.

You can then restore your apps using titanium backup. Be careful though, your market apps are fine to restore but you should be very selective about restoring system apps. I only restore data on the green coloured system apps to get back things like SMS, my custom sense layout, that sort of thing.

If you go from sense to non-sense ROMs then you may not even want to do this much.

Can you please help.

i have just installed the WWE_6.5.X_DsE_GTX_V6 rom & all seems fine but when i use skyfire with tvcatchup i get error none uk & it wont play any channels.

i am obviously in uk so is there a mod i can do to get the servers to recognise i am in the uk.

i am also using radio Leo_Radio_15.40.50.07U_2.11.50.20.

CHEERS NEDSTER
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
Did it work before?? m.tvcatchup.com usually works for me
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
two things come to mind,

1 some versions of opera with some settings route traffic through their servers in (i think) norway, so the target site sees the connection as coming from there.

2 when connected using mobile data, the ip address you get can resolve to a different country, example o2 addresses resolve (or can resolve) to germany, so same problem.

no suggestions for you, though, sorry.
[HD2 General] NEDSTER1972:
I had latest stock ROM version installed & tvcatchup worked fine. plus a lot of channels are missing when you use m.tvcatchup.

i had this problem a few months ago with other roms so i went back to the stock rom & tvcatchup worked fine through skyfire browser.

but with the cooked roms it seems to be routed through a different server.

just an idea but if these roms are american versions why don't we have a uk leo hd2 forum & a usa version as there is a tmobile usa forum but i think the cooked roms on the leo hd2 forum are based on usa roms.

please can anyone help as i like these roms but if i can't use apps that i love i will have to go back to the stock rom.

CHEERS NEDSTER.
[HD2 General] Marct77:
Have you checked to see if they are down for maintenance,

it seems to occur quite frequently....

You will deffo need the m. suffix on the URL to watch on your HD2
[HD2 General] NEDSTER1972:
don't see why i should have to use the m.tvcatchup site when i can use the service fine on a stock rom.

That is just stupid.

Site is working fine on my pc.

Cheers nedster
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
i can confirm that tvcatchup.com (didn't try the m.tv... address) works fine on my phone, latest skyfire, 2.13 tmous based cooked rom, both through my virgin media net and o2 mobile web.
[HD2 General] Marct77:
My apologies,it works just dandy without the m.
[HD2 General] NEDSTER1972:

Installed forever and update radio to 2.15. I'm still on stock 2.1 so not sure if that may be a reason, but you tube will not play a video, the screen just turns black and freezes. I did get the video to load once but it just played audio not video. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or any one having simular problems? I'm thinking it might be because i still have 2.1.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] rdmerck:
Don't think 2.1 is the issue:

Hmm, that's weird. Where can I re download the youtube app from? It didn't appear to be in the market

I just pulled this off mine, since you and I are using the same software. Unzip this, and adb install the apk to the phone.

Alright. I bought Bell's Version of the Vibrant.

[Android Software Development] solidkundi:
Hey, I'm a Graphic Designer, and I always have weird and unique ideas. So far I haven't been able to get one developer interested in my ideas.

But this time it could be different.:D or not:o

This is probably just a novelty thing... i don't see it actually having a purpose, maybe if someone can expand on this idea... anyways

Here is my Concept!!

Firstly, on our PC/MAC MONITOR we stick a colourful (or QRCode-ish) sticker on each corner, with a server app running of some sort

Second, we grab our android camera and point to it... the viewfinder should translate the stickers to identify our touch-monitor area

Finally, by touching the viewfinder it should translate into "mouse click" at that location....

Why??? you may ask...

1)Its augmented reality... it comes with alot of brag rights.. :D

2)If you're not arms length for some reason (like me when i'm lying down and watching tv shows on my monitor)...you can simply download ur next tv show without having to get up. I am trying to think of more reason, but I hope you guys can think of some.;)

In anycase, if you are interested in developing this app, please let me know I would love to help out with the GUI if you need me to.:D

MOD EDIT: Full Root is now available. Please see this for Full Root

[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Wildfire with Unrevoked 3.21

Hi all,

As posted the other day, I have managed to get a temporary software-only root solution that will allow you to run some applications that require su. I am currently in discussion with some of the unrEVOked team to take this a step further and get the NAND protection defeated, clockworkmod etc. For now, though, I present an extremely simple, low risk, software root. Yes, it's not quite 1-click (it's 1-click once you've done the initial steps), but it's pretty easy.

Prerequisites:

You must have adb working.

Root instructions:

Step 1: Download and install Superuser.apk from the Market. ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828 )

Step 2: Download my SoftRoot package ( http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/SoftRoot.apk )

Step 3: Execute from a command prompt in the directory where you downloaded SoftRoot.apk:

Windows:

adb install SoftRoot.apk

Linux:

adb install ./SoftRoot.apk

Step 4: Run the SoftRoot application that is now installed.

The application will now crash. Wait 2 seconds, close it and you are rooted.

You will need to re-perform stage 4, only, each time you reboot.

Source code (all GPL):

http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/DoRoot.java

http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/R.java

http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/rootshell

http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/exploid.c

To compile Java app, you will need to create a project that has su, rootshell and compiled exploid inside the resources/raw folder.

[Wildfire Android Development] chrisandchips:
Excellent work, thanks Martin! So this means I don't have to follow anything in your other thread, I can just use this? Found it difficult to understand all that stuff!

Also, when downloading the Android SDK, as I'm about to, do I need to get the 2.1 component package as well, being as the Wildfire comes with 2.1 on it? Very new to the world of Android, so your help would be much appreciated!
[Wildfire Android Development] Dark_Balor:
normally you just need the adb not the whole SDK.

Simple to use :

download SDK :http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

extract the zip(or tgz if Linux) where you want

go to tools

copy the SoftRoot.apk in this dir

open a cmd prompt

type adb install ./SoftRoot.apk

Install the SuperUser.apk (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828) or QR code :

Launch the SoftRoot app.

Wait 10 sec

Kill it

SOFT-ROOTED

Easy no ? :)

[Wildfire Android Development] Dr_Death:
all the best my friend, YOU ARE THE MAN :)

what's the method you are going to try to bypass the protection >> I'm interested in knowing the mechanism of the NAND protection, how it's work :D
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Well, from the fact I was told to make a clockworkmod recovery image, it seems that the route is going to be to get a custom recovery image booting which will allow full access to the system and then flash from that.

TBH, this is where it starts to get risky ;/ If people wanted to start pooling together a disaster fund should the Bricking Gods not smile favourably on me, I'd be a lot happier! Haha!
[Wildfire Android Development] zabaknilesh:
Hey Martin..or anyone else..can you confirm whether this will work on HTC Legend ..??
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
I'm afraid I don't know about the Legend, but I see no reason why it should not provided that:

/system is mounted from /dev/block/mtdblock3

You are running 2.1 or 2.2

If you get an adb shell up an paste me the output of the mount command, I'll be able to tell you more clearly.
[Wildfire Android Development] demolition23:
MartinEve, I just copied the two .apk to my phone

1.Install with some explorer

2.Launch SoftRoot

3.Enjoy

[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Excellent, glad to hear it :)

Perhaps I'll put a more concise set of instructions up at the start :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Piron:
not work

I managed to do ROOT previous method. In this method, the system aborts SoftRoot. What could be the reason?
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
When you say "the system aborts", I think you are referring to the fact the application crashes.

Which was in my original post.

It should still be rooted, despite the crash.
[Wildfire Android Development] zabaknilesh:
Glad...I think its working!! i can now use set cpu...

Only did install these two apk's on HTC legend and its working...!!!

any others signs to confirm check that my device is rooted..please advice which is best apk to check my legend is rooted or not..?
[Wildfire Android Development] MartinEve:
Go to a terminal and type:

su

If the phone then prompts you to allow root, allow it and then type:

id

if it says uid=0 then you are root.

Let me know and I'll make a post in the Legend forum too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someone09:
Hi there,

I´m not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this since this is my first post on this board.

Ok, so here is my problem:

I - proudly - own a HTC Desire and used to listen to the HTC music-player while using google maps navigation. On Android 2.1 it worked like a charm.

But then I updated to FroYo and since then it won´t run simultanously anymore.

What happens is the following:

I launch the music player

I launch the navigation app

When the first voice-output starts it mutes (or quits) the music player and won´t resume/reopen it automatically again

When I use a different music player it all work, again.

Also, when I use another navigation application (e.g. Navigon) the player keeps on working (but doesn´t mute...but I guess this is a Navigon problem).

A week ago I decided to root my Desire. For that I downgraded it to 2.1, again and used the ROM from ieftm. Unfortunately, I still do have this problem.

You may now ask "Why not use one of the other music players?".

The answer is: I "need" three points to be fullfiled by the music player:

Look nice (or at least not that crappy; for example...I don´t like the Astro player)

A working lockscreen-widget (this would eliminate the ³-player and DoubleTwist)

It should be possible to create a playlist-shortcut on the homescreen to be opened directly by this player

And...from all the players I tried the HTC player is the only one that has all this.

Anyway, I hope you guys can help me with my problem and answer some of these questions:

Has anybody an idea on how I could get maps/navigation and the music player working together again?

Anybody knows a music player that fullfilles all the points from above?

Anybody knows how I can set another music player to be opened with the homescreen-playlist-shortcuts?

Thanks in advance.

While this is a good temporary solution for saving battery, I don't consider it a fix because then the phone would have no GPS capabilities at all.

The phone should behave the way mine does, when something requests to use the GPS, the icon shows up in the notification bar, otherwise, it does nothing. Her notification bar ALWAYS has the icon on it, blinking away and doing something.

I am going to try some task managers tonight and see if we can narrow it down.

We both went to Settings->About Phone. He was running firmware 2.1, I was running firmware2.1-update1. He just got his phone, I'm not sure why it has the older firmware on it.

I'm wondering if this is the reason?

Perhaps deactivate google location update information services.

If it happens from the get go with no apps running, your gps could be running simply to let google know your location. Reset system to factory and opt out of (allow my location - or something like that)
