Well Dang! Both PRL and Profile just sit at please wait. Waited 5 mins on both.

Boooo!

EDIT...

I did a recovery restore to the state my phone was in before the new rom was installed and I'm getting the same result. I'm not sure the ROM is the cause....
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Has anyone tried doing a selective restore of just the /system files to keep data intact?
[Epic 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Haven't tried that but I do know that all my apps didn't restore back from TB. I had to go back into the market and reinstall them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Ive actually never gotten TB to restore any of my apps. and ive got the purchased version. this was on my moment (either stock or custom rom) and also on my epic. i think the hero worked once. ive had more luck using mybackup free.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
prl updated and reset radio (althrough i was already on 60670 so ill downgrade my prl here at work and give that a test) using noobnl's andromeda 1.30 for a kernel. had a username swap done on my phone and it OTA updated all my profile information.

honestly the only things that dont work are OTA updates. they get to the install point and say something about information not matching, erroring out, then rebooting back to system. but then again i did throw an andro kernel before i even had my phone activated so that might have done something :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
Do mybackup reinstall all the apps all at once or do you have to them individually?
[Epic 4G Android Development] done12many2:
Aridon,

Not sure if intentional or not, but the Samsung Widgets are gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
My OTA worked with just a kernel nto the rom so much be something to do with the rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] wjohnson1186:
I just noticed that all the samsung widgets are gone. Is there a way that it could be added back? Also, could you remove the stock sprint apps and keep the apps tha are necessary to start starting? Like kill the amazon and tv stuff. I just want to keep the stuff running that needs to be. Hit me up if this is possible with your rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
The samsung widgets did get removed and I'm not sure if I'll put them in since I never use them. This weekend if I get time I'll make an update.zip now that clockwork is flashing properly and see if I can make a few variations for everyone.

I'll be working on a new actual Rom. This was meant to just get something out quickly that people could mess with and provide a little value and a good place to start messing around. Now that everything is Deodexed and working its possible to theme and do other cool things so its nice to just get the ball rolling. I was tired of the forum having nothing for users.

As for the stock apps you can do that. Easiest way is to download titanium backup from the market (its free) and open it. Hit problems, and allow it to download the correct version of busy box (the new one included in most of the root methods doesn't work properly).

Now after it restarts, go into back up and restore tab and you will see a list of all the files. Tap them and it will give you the option to uninstall it. Its pretty easy to tell what is what here so just start removing what you don't want running. You can also make backups of data and user installed files. SYSTEM files you did not install will not get backed up only their data.

Make a backup through clockwork in case you screw up and remove something you shouldn't.

You can look here for a general list of what you can and can't remove. Titanium lists them a little differently but its not hard to tell what is what.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Just don't try and put the odexed .apks back in as it shouldn't work. The other deodexed file doesn't have them either because I pulled the apks from the system.img from the rom.

If you want the htc sense clock w/weather google "fancy widget" or "fancywidget.apk" to find the apk or pm me your email and I'll send it to you.

Can't post it here as its considered warez since HTC got pissy about its existence.

Get rooted and grab Sapphire rom. You can change notification colors, dropdown colors, lockscreen colors. I believe CM6 offers this as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
OK, so I've never tried to put a rom together using redbend_ua but figured now was a good time to figure it out... This is basically just the leaked things that would normally be flashed by odin but instead packaged so redbend_ua can flash them. This will flash correctly but it doesn't boot. I'm at a point where I'm stuck so if anyone wants to help out, here's what I have so far.

DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM!

http://www.multiupload.com/TUBMZ3FKH8

I also used redbend to try and restore all the bml partitions (12) and it looks like it's working but now the phone wont ever boot, it just ends up back in recovery...

Edit: I "may" have figured out how to enable download mode for devices that are hardware locked. Still need to tinker and make sure it's safe but nice to stumble on. If you don't mind risking damaging your phone, I believe that it's bml4 or bml5 from a good phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
I'm also thinking an alternative is to dd all the partitions on the phone since redbend can restore them. Maybe I could copy them all off and then rewrite the update to restore each partition? Any ideas? Anyone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Anyone have any other ideas I could try?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Well, it was a terrible idea to overwrite all the partitions. Now the phone asks for my sim unlock as soon as it boots up... Gotta find a way around that now... It also reboots non stop... Tried to repartition in odin and use the original rom but didn't fix the problem. :O(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene373:
Not sure why your having issue with this?

My update.zip & kernel flashing works perfect.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
This is for the new leaked rom. Instead of doing the traditional method I wanted to only use redbend_ua with the leaked files. You can flash everything fine through odin but if you use redbend to flash them it wont boot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
Whoa whoa this is a huge discovery. Could you explain that in a little more detail? If you got into download mode using the hardware then you didn't have a locked phone to begin with?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4ziggy:
you'll be glad to know you did not destroy all your partitions.

1st of all, i doubt your updater-script actually works - you dont have the update-binary in your update.zip, which means there is no parser who can actually execute the update-script.

assuming im wrong and that your script actually works, it will reboot after the 1st redbend_ua (thats how redbend_ua works - it reboots when it finishes), and according to your script you flash the kernel partition first. so, just reflash the kernel partition again with a valid zImage to repair.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
The zip posted in the thread is not my attempt to flash all the bml. It is my version that attempts to flash the new rom using redbend instead of ODIN. The version that has damaged my phone has login information so I wont post it. I can get the phone to boot now but it doesn't recognize any sim cards. redbend works perfectly fine the way I posted it, not sure what you are saying it's missing?

The current upgrade script looks more like the one below... It was a bad idea...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4ziggy:
i was referring to the missing 'update-binary' from the update.zip you posted. without this the script wont run.

regarding redbend - from what ive been told, after a successful flash, redbend reboots. in order to overcome this, one might use '/cache/ota/command' but it hasnt been tested yet (acording to supercurio). take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7906500

which partitions did you flash? if by accident you flashed bml3 then you might screwed your IMEI info holder. take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740218
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z4ziggy:
and i dont agree - i dont think your hacking is such a bad idea ;)

here is an idea i've been playing with lately:

ui_print("ROM flasher");

package_extract_file("boot.bin", "boot.bin");
package_extract_file("Sbl.bin", "Sbl.bin");

# disable reboot
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/sbin/reboot");

ui_print("Flash Now !");
# running the flash operation

run_program("reboot", "now");
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene373:
you can redbend the factory.rfs ( I can be Mistaken though ) as it's to big of a file for temp data space to be stored on.

in theory it should work, but not having ever tried it myself, idk to be honest.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
I can redbend the factory.rfs but it doesn't look like it fixes the issue. It's flashed during odin anyways. To get it to fit in tmp I had to delete everything else in tmp as part of the script.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
My example zip that I posted appears to work correctly and flashes all the files that were in the new update. I'll try and make one that flashes the original since that has more files. Maybe that will work?

Is there a copy PACKAGE like copy PACKAGE:original_rom/redbend_ua TMP:/original_rom/redbend_ua instead of copy_dir ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Ok so I made one with everything from the stock rom and after flashing says something like unable to mount sbl11... I'll mess with it more in the morning.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankencat:
Looks like you are on it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Ok so if you use redbend to flash all the parts of the stock rom that flashes correctly through odin, the phone wont boot up. If you go back into recovery, it says E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

I think if you were to dd everything in /dev/block and flash it then it might work. No way for me to test though...

Does anyone know if I flash one of the galaxy s roms that contains every file if it could rebuild those bml so the radio works again?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
I have got a few things working but my phone no longer has an imei. Everything shows unknown. I didn't back up stl, just the bml. I think that might leave me screwed for now...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankencat:
That sucks. Couldn't you use ODIN to get back to the beginning at least or does it not re-create/re-write all of those partitions?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gehzumteufel:
Sure, I get what you're saying, and I absolutely agree that you wouldn't want to share that folder (I mean ****, that IS where the IMEI is stored apparently), but I was just asking so that if there was someone that was willing to, then you could repair yours and hopefully reprogram your original IMEI.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
I will have a bml0!c dump shortly. I don't believe redbend can flash the entire thing though... It's worth a shot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
I found out that it is possible to flash portions through odin like bml7 = zimage. I haven't tested it but I found a forum that covers that pretty well. That could be useful for fixing devices that are stuck on bad roms, etc. For example, the new leaked rom doesn't contain dbdata so if you partition through odin it wont boot. We could dump everything necessary to make a "perfect backup" for odin. Now I just gotta make it work the other way around...

http://translate.google.com/transla...=en&safe=off&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS361US361&prmd=iv

Basically, something like this:

sudo dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bin

sudo dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/Sbl.bin

The Sbl.bin is your download mode I believe. For example, if you flash the ms_guru rom your download mode is now only available with volume down and power. The one on most peoples roms is both volume keys and then plug into usb. People who are hardware locked probably just need the version that uses the volume keys.

We could also probably overwrite the stock recovery and just use clockwork.

We all know that it is possible to change IMEIs on any phone with the right tools. Smartphones are just easier to do since there are a lot more access to tools and people with knowhow.

Before anyone goes and bites my head off, I tried searching this forum and several other websites for this.

I have been using droidemu (tried several others, like this one best) with the wii controller, and havent been able to find one with 3 press multitouch support (droidemu does 2 press, you can walk and jump, but not run button walk jump). Is this an inherent limitation of touch screen phones, or is it just the way the emulator is written? I'm sure this has been addressed tons of times, but I sure couldnt find a thread. thanks guys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
You should have posted this in q&a.

Regardless, in theory Android can support 256 points of contact (or so I've heard).

The stock EVO can support two. You might want to see if a custom kernel can help you out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surferpr:
its not the emulators fault, I have snesoid and the problem lies on htc kernel. it does not support more than 2 simultaneous touch points. You can confirm this by downloading dotty from the market. however if you are rooted and nand unlocked you can change the rom and kernel to one of the newer ones that have the 30fps cap removed and support 3 to 5 points, it depends on the touchscreen controller you have. They also have made several improvements to the phone so I recommend you check it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Aye, it's the HTC kernel; doesn't allow over 30FPS, and limits you to two points. Most custom kernels break both barriers. CM6, Snap, netarchy, etc. each give you 50+ FPS and 5-point multi-touch (assuming your device will accept it).

I get a similar issue occasionally when taking video. Half the screen (usually the bottom half) will be green with lines through it for the first 1 or 2 seconds before everything becomes normal.

The android video recording never does this for me, so I assume its a bug with the manilla camera software.
