I copied that from an ebook about Android:

Alternatives to OTA

Yes, it’s possible to manually install system updates in some cases. It may not be wise,

and it may break your phone, void your warranty, or violate your carrier’s terms of

service. However, recent US copyright exceptions seem to indicate that it’s not illegal to

hack your phone to run on another network or run legally obtained software. If you’re

willing to take the risks and assume all responsibility for failure, the general process is

not terribly complicated on most phones.

First you need to find an official update hosted from Google or another highly trusted

source. On the Nexus One, the installation process for upgrading firmware goes like this:

1. Rename the zipped update file update.zip.

2. Transfer the update file to the top level of your SD card.

3. Restart your phone while holding the volume-down button.

4. You should see a text screen giving you several choices. Use the

volume-down button to select Recovery, and press the power button.

5. When you see the triangle with the exclamation point, press the power

button and then the volume-up button.

6. Select “apply sd card: update.zip.” with your trackball, and then press

the center of the trackball to begin.

7. You should see status updates and a progress bar as the update

installs, and then your phone will either restart or you’ll see the same

screen you did when you pressed the power and volume-up buttons. If

you see this screen, select “reboot.”

8. Check your firmware status to make sure your phone has updated. If not

try this process again.

Can work in x10?

Read before that SonyE locked the recovery menu out so you won't be able to get to that point...

On top of that, the X10 doesn't have a trackball, or did I miss something?

can we use wm 6.1 on x2? how?

6.5 is too slow, i like wm 6.1 system, most software could run on it, i want it so much, help!~ help!~ ^_^
[XPERIA X2 General] dcarr622:
That's not possible with this device. There aren't even good cooked 6.5 ROM's. You have to use 6.5 which is probably a good thing because it's much better than 6.1. I had an HTC Tilt which ran 6.0/6.1 originally and 6.5 ROM's only improved performance, didn't make it worse. Make sure you're running the latest official/clean ROM using the guides in this forum and you will be maximizing the performance of the X2.

Well I'm getting these updates option on my Froyo Dakstone build for system software updation, but whenever i start to install these updates the phone reboots and windows OS starts.

After booting Android the same options appear again, is there anyone out there who knows how to get these updates install as Darkstone aint replyin in his thread!!!:mad:!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Moon2:
Those updates aren't meant for the hd2, so it wont work, it'll keep cycling back. Best thing is to find another build here that's based on the Desire OTA update.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slimster:
I'm not positive but I believe I read that the update does nothing. It attempts to install but fails to install and reboots. You are probably not getting a response on the other thread because I'm pretty sure its been addressed already.

Whoops moon2, you beat me to it. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
Yeah, i'm getting this with FroyoStone v2. Downloaded the update, but it will not install, just reboots. I finally gave up. I figure if the update is needed, the devs will just add it to future builds.

I believe the problem is that the HD2 boots to Windows mobile and not the correct Android Rom mode for updates.

[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
I assume there is no answer to this as the question seems to have been asked in other HTC forums, with no obvious solution.

If I read new SMS Text Messages from the Sense interface, they get marked as read.

If I read new eMail Messages from the Sense interface, they don't get marked as read, so I have to open the Windows Mobile eMail client and read them, just to mark them as read.

If there was some way of marking them as read from Sense, that surely make more sense? Even if it could be done from a menu option, or a button on the screen perhaps. But to have no option at all makes no sense...

So I rooted using noobls one click method and I cannot go back to stock to update (I deleted a file that I cannot for the life of me return)

So here are the two(ish) problems that need resolving.

I need to restore SprintZone.apk (to run that stupid update) to my system apps folder. That in and of itself might solve the problem if I can figure out how to get it back on there. Astro grays out the paste in anything but the /sdcard partition, so Im not sure how to copy the file (backed up) back to the system drive.

Secondly, how to I restore COMPLETELY removing all hacks, etc back to the default sprint rom?

Thank You

Does anyone else have issues using GPS on ALL Froyo ROMS? I have tried all the Froyo ROMS on this forum with nearly every kernel. I do not use the BFS Roms which I know break GPS. I have flashed back to Fresh 2.4.0 and GPS no longer works in there either. Should I try something else or remove my root and bring phone back to Sprint. I am at my wits end here as I use Cardiotrainer to track my runs. I have tried other run tracking apps and even Google Maps. After a short period of time it stops tracking my progress. Am I the only one with this issue?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladehawke:
Download GPS Status from the market and run it:

Hit "reset" to clear cached GPS data, then "download" the A-GPS packet.

This works on the Evo not sure if it works on the hero. I have done this on my Evo and it works. You cant do it while using CM6 so you have to flash another rom then flash back to CM6.

1. Nandroid backup your current CM6 (will need to restore later)

2. Boot to recovery

3. Wipe data, cache, Dalvik

4. Flash the rooted stock rom

5. do a wipe data, cache, dalvik one more time to be sure after flash.

6. Let it boot up and the next step is VERY important

7. Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#

8. It will ask you for your MSL, feed it.

9. Upon hitting OK, your phone will just say reboot in 10 secs, let it reboot.

10. Once rebooted, launch maps and your GPS should lock almost instantly.

11. If it worked, then boot into recovery.

12. Wipe data,cache,dalvik

13. Restore your previous CM6

14. Now try to launch maps again and you should expect same result as in step 15. If NOT, then reboot and do a wipe
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealbliss:
I'll try it right now, cause I too have GPS issues. I'll let you know later after some geocaching how it did.

:::hopes it works:::
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeInTheGrey:
Or you could try the fix that existed before A-GPS came in:

1) Create Nandroid backup of setup

2) Boot to recovery, do full wipe, install Sense rom (I used Fresh)

3) Boot up to Fresh, then once in there turn on GPS and go to Maps.

4) Once you get GPS lock that holds, reboot to recovery and nandroid back to old setup.

I actually had to do this somewhat frequently way back when, and I and several others can vouch that it works. Its just a PITA.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Have you tried the newest #13 uncapped kernel from Decad3nce? GPS works for me with that. Also try moving away from a lot of trees and buildings etc., and see if you can get a lock then.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadster92:
1. Download GPS Status from the market and run it

2. Hit Menu button to access the settings menu

3. Under Settings Choose GPS & Sensors

4. Then Choose Manage A-GPS State

5. Choose Reset on the Pop up dialog

6. Choose Manage A-GPS State again and choose Download.

7. Get back out and check to see if your GPS get lock properly.

This method work for me without having re-flash back to sense to get a lock.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealbliss:
This fix does work on a CDMA Hero, as I have tested it and it's working much better.

like the OP, I too tried all the other GPS fixes I was reading about.. but none ever stuck, I agree that booting into sense and loading maps and then restoring cm6 does work but it doesnt stick long enough. I can't say yet how long this fix will stick as I just did it, but I can say that my Layars, c:geo (geocaching app which is gps heavy), foursquare, and maps all pinpoint where I am A LOT faster since I did this fix.

I will report back at the end of the day to tell if the fix seemed to stick.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicenice19:
I will give this a try as well. Thank you for the suggestions. My issue isn't really the GPS locking. It locks immediately from using GPS Status and flash to Fresh. It just seems to atop following my movements.

I re-read the first post, I do believed that I have the same problem as well. It's not the locking GPS but it is the tracking over period of time. I do have the same problem intermittently and especially if using Navigating with GPS more than 30 minutes or so. GPS signal dropped and could not track any more. It happened on almost every build, except 9/10 with Darchstar #2 kernel (come with 9/10 build) where It only did it one time. I am still using 9/10 build which very stable for me.

GPS Issues

OK, I have tried Sprint Nav (both the signed sprint version and the Impaler's posted apk) on the latest Extreme Blue and v0.2 AOSP and receive the same results, the nav will work for a couple of minutes then it will start kicking out. It says "can't get gps signal in this location", then as soon as it kicks back in it will state, "you now have gps signal" it will do this every 5 seconds or so after that. When it completes about 10 of these cycles, it will finally kick out completely to where you have to shut off the GPS signal and turn it back on to start again.

I have followed all of the recomendations in this thread including flashing Fresh Hero 2.4 (by the way there were no issues using Fresh Hero GPS works just fine) and updating everything (PRL, User Data and the GPS stats). I then flashed back to AOSP v0.2. GPS is still broken. Does the same thing as above. I found the Colin batter fix and applied that as well. No luck.

Anymore ideas?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
MSL is a pass code. Its a password that allows you access into some of sprints advanced settings. With this pass code you can reset things or just change what network your cell phone is connecting to and things like that. If you search the Evo forum you will find out how to get your MSL very quickly. Also you can call sprint get to technical support and then ask them for you MSL. Calling sprint is hit or miss if the tech guy starts asking questions just let hime know you want to reset your GPS because its not functioning properly. Dont talk about it thought unless he ask you too.

I have still the orginal recovery image on it and found this article in the same thread (xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7788568&postcount=219) and i am asking myself if this will work with my device?

Could you please help me to find the answer?

The biggest hurdle is getting past the bootloader. The different handset manufacturers all use their own bootloader and flashing tools. These tools are secured to prevent "unauthorised" tampering with the firmware. Until our intrepid developer friends have found a way past these pesky little hurdles we're stuck with stock firmware.

Hope this helps.

Evo had problems, instinct had LOTS of problems, hell my touch pro 2 NEVER ran 100% right.

Now here I am with an Epic, where the gps doesnt work unless I reboot the phone, uploading a 1.2 mb picture takes entirely too long on 3g as well as the phone studders like heck while it's SLOWLY uploading AND to top it all off - it's looking for a signal 50% or more of the time that I'm in a FULL SIGNAL area.

My question is this:

When did this become acceptable in our society? Why are people not being fired over this?????

What MOD EDIT tester didn't notice that 3g uploads are capped? And did they NEVER EVEN TRY TO USE THE GPS after a night or day of the phone being on?

Coming from the touch pro 2 and touch diamond I was SO READY for the Epic to ROCK MY WORLD.

The sad thing is IT WOULD HAVE if I didn't have to deal with these little annoying issues.

Turning airplane mode on and off everyday so my battery will last 12 hours..which still isnt that good.. Rebooting the phone before I plan to use it for ANYTHING navigation related.

What a sour taste I have in my mouth. I know apologists will say "it hasn't even been out a month" well guess what, I work in IT and if I rolled out something new and it didn't work CORRECTLY on the first day, someone is getting in trouble, if I go home before it's fixed, I get fired.

That's a great question and the answer is......because I have no alternative device like this with a keyboard.

Your attitude of "every phone is going to have a problem with it" is exactly WHY this whole situation exists in the first place. People are just OK with this type of thing happening.

Also - it's not just me having problems, the whole internet is FULL of epic owners with the same ****ty issues. All I'm saying is that EVERYTIME a phone is rolled out and **** DOESNT WORK - someone should be losing his or her job BECAUSE HE OR SHE DIDNT DO THEIR JOB!!
[Epic 4G General] mekeke:
People can only do so much with the limited resources they have.

I am guessing your attitude of a phone is that is has to be perfect.

There is never going to be a phone that is perfect.

[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I'm happy with the Epic apart from the fact it pulls power from the battery while plugged in causing it to take forever to charge if you using it heavily.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
According to a sprint admin on the board they had no idea about this till we started reporting it. Why would samsung release a phone with horrible battery life and a crippled GPS if they knew about it? How did sprint testing NOT REALIZE that 3g doesn't go any faster then 150k.

No a phone doesn't have to be perfect, but these issues are DETRIMENTAL to how the phone works.

What's funny is while I was at the store they had plenty of Epics and not one EVO. I'm sitting there wondering why. I guess I know why now.
