[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsimon9633:
So I didnt find anything directly addressing this.

I am rooted and have RA recovery installed.

I have previously formatted my SD card and created an ext 2 partition on it.

How do I format my card to be exactly as it comes stock without all of that?

I see an option in RA recovery to format but then it asks me what the SWAP and EXT value should be.

Can anyone help mea nd provide me the default values I should use to make sure the card is formatted how it is normally in a stock non modded way?

thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
you can format it within the phone, if youre in recovery, just set swap/ext both to 0, it will not create those partitions then. If you need to return your phone, it wont raise any flags if you format it with recovery swap/ext = 0 or format via the phone, or format via the pc.

Hey guys, I'm looking for the 2.05 radio. I have 2.15, but my MMS isn't working, so I hoping that flashing back to complete stock, then reflashing with 2.05 and restoring back my Skyraider rom will fix it.

I tried googling it, but I could only find the one file for fileshare and everytime I try to use it, i get some error about it not liking the signature.

Does anyone have one laying around?

Thanks

Mms is a rom problem, what rom are you usimg
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybones:
As my understanding of it, you'd have to go back to 1.x radio, then leak ota to get the 2.05 radio, there isn't a full flash update of it like 1.x and 2.15x
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
So, if i decicde to flash the radio img (im on 2.15 also) would i brick, or will the downgrade just not take?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] tuxing:
Found this topaz phone listed at ebay india here

listing tells its a dual os phone with android and wm6.5.

watching the video android seems to be directly booting at boot time, without

any delay.

photo and cd included also suggests dual os.

the htc packaging clearly lists it dual os and has both wm6.5 and android os in specs

video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEdUJ6Cs7xQ

did htc make one like this?

is there a way to do this yet?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
Hmm, i think this is one of those htc topaz clones ( different cpu, less ram, ... ). Anyway, dualbooting WinMo & Android is posssible on our ( originals ) also with DualBOOT Gen.Y.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] tuxing:
Thanks rewind for the reply

so you think its not a hoax?

if theres such a device cant we use that bootloader to enable dualboot on our topaz, noob here sorry if its a foolish question

tried dualboot.gen.Y earlier, but thats not real dual boot, its launching from within wm6.5 - correct me if i am wrong

have a doubt how android works when haret.exe is launched? -- does android work as a layer over wm6.5 in the background. or does the haret.exe kill the windows system after android launch , so system resources are freed?

whats the cause of battery drain -- lack of optimized drivers or android working over wm6.5?

cant thank you and the whole android team enough for making these doubts possible.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
I think that this is a clone because it doesnt have the front camera like we do.

I think its not possible to use the bootloader beacause its hardware dependent ( correct me if i am wrong ). Yeah you are right DualBOOT Gen.Y its not a real dualboot.

haret.exe shuts down WinMo and initalize linux bootloader to boot Android ( system resources are freed ), anyway hardware components are still activated by WinMo instead of Android.

Well, the devs disabled usb/h2w headset beacause while Android was running the usb was giving 5v on output all the time and they thought that this will fix the problem but that was not the case, so they are still investigating what drains the battery so quickly. If you know anything about mobile circuits/electronics feel free to join the disscussion at the irc channel ( you can find the link on the XDAndroid wiki page ).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] shavenyaknz:
I've seen those phones before, they are clones (but very convincing ones). One way you could tell is that there was no Marketplace in the menu.

For the rest of the day you get no activation fee ($36) when you buy the Epic 4G.

They only charge $239 for the phone to begin with. Given that I live in CA my savings were:

Tax: $28

Activation Fee: $36

Discount: $10

Total: $74 saved

Also I am not sure if I will get it but entering code WIREFLYBLUE22 should give you a free Bluetooth headset. People are reporting a 83% success rate on the site I found the code listed.

the only good thing i see on wirefly is the MIR(or at least they say about it), with sprint you still gotta go thru that annoying process.
[Epic 4G General] Kleany:
anybody know if you can use wirefly to UPGRADE your phone?

Im due for an upgrade with Sprint, but i want to get this price from wirefly.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Yea, from what i can tell its the same price if you are renewing your contract. 239.99.......... I didnt see anything about the activation fee though. Check it out http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/ph...lag=&zipcode=&refcode1=&refcode2=&eid=&agent=
[Epic 4G General] iampepito:
what should I expect on the release date if I get my phone from sprint? 349.00 then 100.00 MIR? I'm trying to conclude if the wirefly way is a smarter way to go.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Yup, thats going to be your out the door price. You could always try Best Buy or radio Shack to get the instant rebate at the counter
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
Tax with sprint or any other store at that will charge tax off of the base price not the discounted price I believe, thats over 40 bucks in CA.

So look for no taxes, if you are worried about that.
[Epic 4G General] iampepito:
I bit the bullet with Wirefly. My advice for anyone else considering this option is make sure you understand exactly what they are doing with your Sprint account. Somehow the call center ppl put the wrong plan after I had told them many many times how I wasn't looking to change the plans on my account at all.

Has anyone else had good experiences with this company? They seem like a lot of frustration
[Epic 4G General] oxeneers:
Wirefly is sketch. They have this bull**** 6 month rule when you cancel your new contract within 6 months with any of the carriers, then they bill you $300 for "equipment recovery fee". So, for Verizon, I got hit with $375 from Verizon for ETF and $300 from Wirefly for a ****ing Droid 1 that I bought for $189. Do the math. They ****ing tried to rape me. AND, on top of that, they charged $300 to the same debit card I used to do the original transaction about EIGHT MONTHS after I originally did business with Wirefly. They did that illegally without my permission. They had paper billed me for it and I was telling myself "no way they're getting $300 when the phone was only worth $449".. then a $300 charge from "Simplexity" shows up on my bank statement.

Hate Wirefly. And, their "discounts" aren't even ****ing discounts. $10 off a phone? Give me a break.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I got the phone from Wirefly. I knew going into it the 6 month rule and I do not plan on making any changes or cancelling in that time. Also they have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I can return in 30 days without issue.

I know they have a bad rep, but here is why I got it from them anyway.

No tax in California

Amazon only does new contracts

A free bluetooth headset(see OP)

Ships on the 31st

No rebate to deal with, $239.99 was exactly what they charged.

No activation fee.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Ships on the 31st.... but when does it arrive? I would pay $700 if I could have this phone RIGHT NOW :D
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I'm not sure how long it will take, they had a overnight, 2 day, and free shipping options. I went with free. I did notice Amazon says "Ships in 7-8 days" so they are not even shipping on the 31st.
[Epic 4G General] iampepito:
Good luck everyone who went this route. I chickened out and decided to not go with wirefly. I'm glad I didn't, they are sketch and I don't like dealing with online chats and outsourced call centers for "customer support"

[Galaxy S I9000 General] artyte:
Hello guys.

I just have one very weird problem with my phone.

Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.

What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says

E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.

When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!

Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?

Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?

I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.

Thanks.

FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP ME, PLEASE LOOK AT POST 4. I HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM, BUT MY NEXT PROBLEM IS ON POST 4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Clear cache and clear settings, Flash again with Asian and use pit 512 and select repartition option.

List of method tried

Hi ickyboo, i've tried your method before. I even went to the extent of doing a factory data reset on adb recovery. But they all don't help.

For the list of methods i've tried:

flashing dxjf4 with 512 .pt

flashing dxjf4 with 513 .pit

flashing dxjf4 with 512 .pit with repartition

flashing dxjf4 with 513 .pit with repartition (but failed)

flashing dxjf4 with csc and modem of jg5 with repartition

flashing dxjf4 with csc, pda, and modem (but failed)

flashing dxjf4 without any pit

wiping cache and data in adb recovery then flash dxjf4 without any pit

...None have worked and they either show up as

E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

or (failed) if stated above the list of methods.

Please help me thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] artyte:
I realised where i what went wrong, but the problem is i don't know how to solve it, unless i have the file.

Every firmware comes with the csc and modem. Unfortunately, those provided as samsung firmwares are not full. The csc and modem of dxjf4 isn't there. Without that, i cannot flash over to dxjf4.

To prove it to you, i did a simple test. I used the pda of dxjf4, and the modem and csc of dxjg4 (another asian firmware). It successfully flashed over to the asian firmware. However, the dxjg4 is lacking the apps that i need. So i decided to flash back to dxjf4. And of course, that successfully happened but now..... the applications that i want on dxjf4 are gone. So it is easily concluded that the modem and csc aren't changed and are still using the dxjg4 version's.

Now if anyone could post up links on dxjf4's full firmware (pda, modem, csc) it would be much appreciated. (The singtel (a carrier of singapore) version i mean)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
I wish I can help you but like you my Telco Optus (singtel) also only released a new Rom recently and without csc or modem file. Why do you need csc anyways? Are you after apps on stock Rom like "my account"? I'm happy with jm5. There's no reason for me to flash stock unless I want warranty

Ok, I may be able to help you now, I found the CSC files you are looking for here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=763369

solved!

hey ickyboo,

i found the solution and i'm happy with it. My friend managed to get for me the stock apps from singtel, plus i used the full fledge dxjg4 firmware. I'm really happy with the firmware and it is nice and snappy.

Howdy all,

Im a larger guy and I was wondering what the consensus was on the best alternate keyboard for someone with big hands? I find the stock kb on the x10 always has me hitting other buttons because they are so skinny.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trojjanhorse:
I say this to anyone who has a hard time using the generic keyboard. Use Swype. As long as your finger motions are correct and intentional, you will spell the correct word. It becomes easier for larger words since it autocorrects.Try swype, it is actually faster that using a qwerty keyboard once you get use to it.

[Desire General] !PANDA:
Root- Hacking your device and gaining super-user access. With this you can load themes, load a custom ROM or even over/under-clock the processor.

De-Branding- Removing network specific ROM, any network apps, and logo animation at start up. Just to clorify, a Branded phone has all the things that I have mentioned above.

Flashing a ROM- This is where you install a new ROM (Firmware) whether it is a custom ROM or a hTc stock ROM.

Custom ROM- A Custom ROM is a ROM that has been modified by any developer. This can make your device faster, have longer battery life and better looks (edited themes etc).

FASTBOOT- A protocol used to update the flash file system in Android devices from a host over USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images.

Under/Over-Clocking- This is where you Under?over-Clock your processor, Over-Clocking uses more of your battery but delivers better performance. Under-Clocking is useful for battery saving. For that you need root and an app from the Android Market, SetCPU.

Hope this helps!
