[Touch CDMA Android Development] dertester123:
Its the Kernel or in other words the operation System.

The zimage is for the haret method and the nbh is to flash android over windows.

So you only need the one for your prefered method.

incubus,cyanogen,freshfroyo.. are the builds that are set on this kernel (its like windows and the programms set upon dos(^^yeah old windows ;D ))

Heres a good guide if you think about flashing:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=636024

The newest zimage and nbh can be found in incubus thread, he has a link there in the start post. ( here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D)

This is how i got it, hope its not wrong ;D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joelshort:
That's a little more clear, thank you. But I still don't quite get it. Does haret already include a zimage? I've downloaded the latest haret and incubus froyo and installed on SD card, works great, but I've never installed/downloaded a zimage. Is this something that I need to bother with?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Lintegras:
Depending on who/where you download haret from, it may or may not include all the files needed to boot. The "package" that has to be in place for haret to work is

SDCard\andboot\haret.exe (executable that reboots phone to Linux environment from WinMo)
SDCard\andboot\zImage (compressed Linux image with support for our hardware that Android runs in)
SDCard\andboot\initrd.gz (don't know)
SDCard\andboot\default.txt/startup.txt (rules Haret follows/info given to zImage when loading)

zImage and initrd.gz are updated from time to time providing a more stable environment or new features to emulate Android on.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joelshort:
Thanks! That's much more clear, and I get it now.

im running cm6 vanilla. have 2.42.01.04.27 radio. that radio was for 2.1 release. since our 2.2 is ported from another phone, should we use a diff. radio? if so, would it even make a difference? just wondering if anyone knows before i try it out and jack it up. thnx
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Radios are different for everyone I think it mostly depends on ur coverage area u can flash different radios if done properly it wont hurt anything different radios give better reception for some and worse for others my only advice is make sure its a radio compatible with ur phone because if u flash the wrong radio I think u can brick ur phone so read extensive before u do

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeInTheGrey:
2.42.01.04.27 is the most recent radio, and it most likely won't be updated ever again. It is only updated when there are RUU updates, and since the Hero is no longer the shining beacon of Sprint's Android collection, I think its the best we will get.

DO NOT FLASH A DIFFERENT RADIO. Flashing the wrong radio is pretty much the only way that you can completely brick your phone. Update your PRL and PRI when the time comes, but let the radio be. Trust me on this.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
No dice I've flashed about ever Sprint radio out there in fact I keep 2 different ones on my SD card so wen I go to visit my inlaws I flash a different one cause the latest Sprint radio sucks that far up north but in the city I reflash the latest because its gets me better service in the city and like I said if done properly and u have a sprint radio u wont brick ur phone remember I said if done properly so check the threads on this one in fact some Dev of roms have sometimes even suggested updating ur radio wen flashing a 2.1 or 2.2 rom like I said check the threads and I'm right by the way I don't trust anyone

Samsung tech support says GPS and Froyo will be two different updates. GPS will be by the end of the month and Froyo will be "soon as well."

I think with the release of the tablet having 2.2 (already), our phones will have 2.2 by the end of the month as well..
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
To me it sounds like GPS will be this month and Froyo is getting pushed back.

If they were coming out about the same time why would the release them seperate? Now they have to make 2 GPS fixes on for 2.1 and one cooked into 2.2. If 2.2 was coming this month they would just say that the 2.2 rom is the fix.

Ohh well I hope they release them both this month, that would be awesome.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
I am not worried

I would rather them take their time on the releases and get them right the first time, because beyond the promised froyo upgrade we may never see another one
[Captivate General] shoeboxin:
I don't think they ever suggested the two would be rolled into one update. The Froyo update date has never been set for US devices: http://twitter.com/GalaxySsupport/status/21596979525

(Even though that tweet was a while ago, they haven't said anything about an actual date yet.)

This post: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/samsung-confirms-galaxy-s-will-get-froyo-in-september/ was somewhat misleading because it only pertained to UK users (notice the twitter account is different).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ZeroSigea:
Alright, newb here. :)

Now that that is out of the way, let me get to the issue.

History: I was following a howto on theunlockr.com (or however it's spelled) for rooting my myTouch 3g w/ 3.5mm headphone jack. Created goldcard, put sappimg on it, booted phone into bootloader, nothing, didn't recognize the image file. Thinking that the file was bad, I downloaded another sappimg.zip file (which I realize now was a bad mistake). After realizing that the card needed to be empty (no files other than sappimg.zip), put JUST sappimg.zip on goldcard and it worked. It uploaded the zip to memory and flashed. Then it rebooted and was stuck at a Vodafone logo. No bootup, just hangs at logo (I've left it at that for a good 10 minutes, still nothing). I can't flash from fastboot, as the SPL does signature checking. I've tried fastbooting into a recovery image, but the four I've tried so far, won't get past the three droids skating logo (and that's if I use fastboot to erase system, boot, userdata, and cache, otherwise, they'll hang at the Vodafone logo too). I've also wiped every partition on the flash other than the bootloader.

Yesterday, I've even tried to run a couple of RUU's for the thing. I had a friend try all three T-Mobile RUU's for the myTouch (from the "[ROM] Official HTC Sapphire/Magic/MT3G RUU ROM Links" thread), all failed with some version (Different failures for each though).

Oh, also, I can't do the goldcard trick anymore, because when it tries to flash the rom, the SPL hangs on the system partition.

So, gentlemen, I do believe I'm screwed.

Any help towards getting it unscrewed (even back to stock) would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing?

So, nothing??? :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Nevermind.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stewdk:
I also have a MT3G 1.2 with the symptoms you describe - hangs on unzipping the system image in sappimg.zip (2.10.531.3) and (2.10.531.4). Don't even think about trying to flash sappimg.nbh (1.94.531.1) - that got me a brick semi-recoverable via JTAG.

I have also seen the Fail-PU message appear when it tries to flash the system partition (when radio 2.22.23.02 was installed).

I found that you can successfully flash sappimg.zip (2.53.707.2 including eng spl 1.33.2010), but fastboot is useless since you get the (remote: signature verify fail) message. Needless to say, this rom doesn't boot successfully.

In addition to the symptoms you describe, the USB is also broken on my MT3G 1.2, so I would need a solution that doesn't use fastboot.

Has anybody else experienced this problem or something similar with their MT3G 1.2? I would like to collect as much information as I can about this problem. I have so far been unsuccessful in finding a solution :(

I have working JTAG on my MT3G 1.2, so I can easily softboot any SPL. See wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic for more details.

I had an idea to edit the SPL so that it skips the signature check on any sappimg.zip file you give it, and easily flash a custom sappimg.zip. Another idea I had was to get it to skip checking the main version on any sappimg.zip file you give it.

Does anybody have any ARMv6 (ARM11) disassembly experience? I could only ever get arm-none-eabi-objdump to disassemble the SPL as a ARMv5 binary...

Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? Am I crazy?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jonk26.2:
I have some ideas that I would like to bounce off you...and I would be willing to provide a phone to try them on...then we could have something to offer because this seems to be a big problem for this phone. Please PM me.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stewdk:
It may be an old post, but I'm still having the problem I described above :)

My phone is sitting right here collecting dust, JTAG still hooked up and everything.

jonk26.2, I got your PM. I'm interested.

I just need to get a working openocd installation up and running again - shouldn't take too long.

EDIT: I mean I'm interested in trying your ideas. No need to send me a phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jonk26.2:
Let me tell you where I am and what I am thinking.

I bought a 3.5mm phone on ebay that had this issue...stuck on fastboot screen. I could get into USB fastboot just fine...and could try the goldcard root process just fine...but had the same freeze on unzipping files that everybody else had. I had the brilliant idea that I could use fastboot to erase the bad files so it could unzip files...and in my haste I erased EVERYTHING...no fastboot no nothing...dead. Then I started looking around the site for JTAG and found your post and then I thought...maybe this is the way to start...absolutely wipe the slate clean and start over.

Anyway...my mobo is dead on this phone and I would like to try to fix it if you are game.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stewdk:
If you erased the radio, then I'm afraid that even the current JTAG procedure won't help you much... Try seeing if blue LED light mode works - if it does, then you might still have hope. This is discussed in the JTAG thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591048 and also at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic

I know the JTAG thread can be a bear to sift through, but it has a lot of good information, including what kind of equipment they use (I'm using a Stellaris EKC-LM3S6965 eval kit which doubles as a USB-serial adapter if you program it right).

Remember that the MT3G 1.2 3.5mm jack / Fender LE won't boot anything without the stock SPL and a known compatible radio (2.22.23.02 is one).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jonk26.2:
Yes...Blue LED...nothing else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stewdk:
Then in theory un-bricking is possible via jtag and serial cable.

I'm not sure about this, but if your phone is in a condition like mine, then JTAG may only be able to bring it back to the limbo state we've been seeing. Symptoms of this are: 1. seeing something like fastboot remote signature verify fail when fastboot worked (even with an engineering SPL) and 2. stuck at unzipping the system image or getting Fail-PU when installing a sappimg.zip. And as far as I know this only applies to the MT3G 1.2 3.5mm jack.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ZeroSigea:
Wow...

Haven't been on in a while and I come back and see that the thread did blossom into a full discussion. Nice. Sorry to leave y'all out in the dark for so long, but I've been busy (and distracted).

So, my solution was to get it replaced. Cheap, I know, but something had to be done. So, I got another MyTouch 3G and when I was feeling brave again, I tried a different route and went with Universal Androot to root the stock ROM in place and use ClockworkMod to flash CM6 onto the device. Awesome, it worked. So we (me and the girlfriend) enjoyed our MyTouch's until we got fed up with T-Mobile's service (crappy signal, where I live). Switched to AT&T and got a HTC Aria, which I suppose is the MyTouch's cousin.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dabiano:
I feel hopeless

I am also suffering the same problem.

I can access fastboot but I can do nothing [Perfect SPL].

I have created a working gold card but all I'm seeing is the frozen system extraction.

tried almost any possible howto's I can find on the net but to no avail.

due to my experiment on flashing sappimg.zip, I seem have a mutated radio/spl combo!

having the same problem

I have tried every combination of firmwares known to man. I have got several to begin flashing, but all stick on the unzipping system. I messed it up by originally following another post for rooting the phone and didnt realize that this my touch 1.2 is special. Apparently the firmware I flashed it with is a 32A firmware and the spl and radio are no good for this phone. So now nothing will flash. Probably have to Jtag it...

I have the same problem.

Using eng spl 1.33.2009 and 1.33.2005 through JTAG on MT3G 1.2,

At first, if I used eng spl 1.33.2009, fastboot flash [partition] [partition.img]

I got: FAILED (remote: image update error).

After that, I switched to eng spl 1.33.2005, somehow I could use fastboot flash hboot boot.nb0 from T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4. But I only flashed that and rebooted the system to see what happened. Then I cannot do it again.

(Remote) signature verify fail, when using

fastboot flash [partition] [partition.img]

Now using eng spl 1.33.2005, fastboot flash zip T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4.zip, it only can flash radio.img.

using eng spl 1.33.2009, fastboot flash zip T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4.zip, it only can flash hboot, boot, radio.img. splash, but stuck at sytem image.

Using eng spl 1.33.2009 through JTAG on MT3G 1.2,

1. Stuck at unzipping the system image.

Or

2. (Remote) signature verify fail, when using

fastboot flash [partition] [partition.img]

When the system was stucked at unzipping the system image, the serial cable continues to give message:

[MDDI_HW_ERR] mddi_queue_image timeout

[MDDI_HW_ERR] mddi_queue_image timeout

Something is broken.

I can only flash sappimg.zip with eng 1.33.2010, but it doesn't a working system.

Can anyone shine light on this one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dabiano:
man, if this IS thru JTAG..., I am losing hope :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hubh98:
I still have hope. :)

I was able to bring it back to work once.

After fastboot flash zip T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4.zip, stucked at unzipping the system image, I took off the battery and was able to flash sappimg.zip (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4) on SD card through hboot (stock 1.33.0013G) successfully. And system was working but SD card reader was disabled in android system, so I read that I need to root the system, and I followed the

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/11/how-to-root-the-mytouch-1-2-and-fender-mytouch/

and installed the sappimg.zip with (eng spl 2010). Then eng spl 2010 flashed sappimg.zip (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4) and stuck at unzipping the system image. [However, it was worked at the very beginning when the MT3G 1.2 with froyo,~~~ Wrong! I didn't use the SAPPIMG with eng spl 2010 at that time, and I only used the universal androot to root the phone~~~ and before I bricked the phone when I used RUU to downgraded it back to Donut.~~This is true. ]

This can explain why I can flash sappimg.zip (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4) on SD card through hboot (stock 1.33.0013G) successfully at first place. So the sappimg.zip with (eng spl 2010) is halmful, because it updates the main version.

When I rebooted the system and used the stock spl 1.33.0013G to reflash (T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4), I have the "main version is older" error.

It looks like each time it becomes worse, there are some kind of watchdog programs in the system?

Because of the hybrid nature of the MT3G 1.2 (32A hardware/32B ROM), the partitions probably messed up, because I saw "partition update failed".

I just cannot repeat the process, when I jtag the phone,

I also saw

[ERR] partition_read::Failed to read page 19072 or it is empty, when soft boot the system as

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hubh98:
Can any one help me check the main version of the original MT3G 1.2 before using the SAPPIMG.ZIP with eng spl 2010 (main version 2.53.707.2)?

fastboot getvar version-main

Even after I flashed back to T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4 (stopped at system), the main version is still 2.53.707.2. I think the main version of T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.4

is 2.10.531.4. So the SAPPIMG.ZIP with eng spl 2010 (main version 2.53.707.2) is potentially harmful at least for some MT3G 1.2.

I don't hold the unit now, but I hope someone here could lend a hand on this
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stewdk:
hubh98, just curious if this will do anything for you (with spl 1.33.2010) "fastboot oem eraseconfig"

Edit: You can flash any radio (no signature checks!) using JTAG + serial using the radata command (documented at http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=JTAG_Softboot_for_Magic_and_Dream)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmaccamr:
I would firstly like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in making the Incredible live up to its name.

I have cycled through various ROMs, and at one point I had SkyRaider 2.5.2 Vanilla. (This is my first Android-based device, so if I use n00b terminology don't flame me to death.) The homescreen looks to be stock android, as opposed to the Sense "Themes", but I must admit, the selection of widgets is awful. I really like the HTC homescreen widgets, like the flip-clock and weather widget.

Basically put, is there a way to get the HTC Sense widgets in a vanilla flavored ROM?

I know this would require running both Sense UI and whatever would be running the stock Android home screen. I downloaded the apks and I would get an error message saying "Application not installed" when I tried to put on the HTC widgets.

(Sorry, typically I would research what exact terms I'm looking to say but I'm feeling lazy today.)

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayhammy:
Beautiful widgets is a good place to start. It's in the Market.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtcarnes:
Beautiful Widgets is nice and it's really customizable. I really only wanted the Sense style flip clock with the weather, so I went with Fancy Widget.

As far as getting Sense stuff in SR Vanilla, you can do it but it takes some monkeying around with what needs to be installed in order to make other stuff work. If you're wanting Sense stuff with Vanilla styling, the best thing to do is to get a Vanilla theme. I think someone had one called tainted vanilla or something. It should lay right over the top of Sense... You'll still have the Sense launcher, but you can add another launcher app (I use ADW.Launcher) to make it feel less like Sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asterdroid:
Best option if you want sense-like widgets on a Vanilla ROM is to use LauncherPro Plus and Beautiful Widgets.

That'll cover just about everything.

I know you can take panoramic photo's with the camera on the phone by taking multiple photos..

But is there an app like on the Taylor swift commercial that you just sweep the camera around the room?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
Not that I have seen, but why? That feature works perfectly in the camera, you don't really need an app for this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Reefermattness:
I'm pretty sure its basically the same thing. The Samsung camera software just gives you a green box to follow and makes a camera sound when you reach it... you're still sweeping from left to right in real time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] WickedStyx:
Any way to get higher res panorama with the stock camera? The panorama is 640x480 photos stitched together.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Shovelhead84:
The phone does this with the built in app. You can move the phone in a sweeping motion and it will take 8 sequential shots. This can be done in either landscape or portrait mode.

When sweeping the camera a green outline will appear in the area of the next shot to help you properly align the photo. When the outlined area is centered on the screen then the phone automatically captures the next image...wash, rinse, repeat.

I have been using this feature a lot lately since the pictures are gorgeous and it is awesome for group photos. A fun thing I like to do is have someone move along to the next shot and pose so you get a strange clone effect of one person throughout the scene.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] snapplefish:
Have you tried the action shooting mode? Does a very similar thing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] typ44q:
I too would like to see an app that used higher res images (640x480 really does not cut it)

I would also like to see something that could take 360 degree photos, not just moving the camera left to right but also up and down.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
Well that's just the sensor setting, the final resolution will be much greater than that in one direction. Holding the phone vertically will give a nice photo. But I would like a 1080 vertical mode for my dual monitor setup and no black lines.
