[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BakaSenpai:
So I have an SGS and I screwed up when JPC came out and so I have the default IMEI number and product code of XXX. So out of curiosity, I'm wondering if I took the efs folder of another sgs and putting it in this 'paper weight' phone.

I'm obviously going to have to buy another SGS, but this is a thought that I had. I"m going to take a stab and think that this should work right since it's just like backing up/restoring the efs folder, just putting it on another phone.

I'm just looking for feedback on this idea, it's just going to be a costly solution for me. I'm primarily doing this until there's a solution to restoring the IMEI number for the SGS and then selling the other SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Greg82uk:
I'm not a developer... but I would assume you would need to edit the new nv_data.bin files using a hex editor before you put them on the bricked device.

If you do a search on downloads.com you ought to find a freeware one.

Use that to search and replace the xxx imei number with that on the barcode on the side of the box.

Please be advised that this is pure speculation as my imei didn't default... but I found I could change my product code in a similar way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rawat:
Won't work. the /efs folder stores your IMEI number stuff, and the file's digitally signed. You can't just dump another file from another phone into it to fix the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BakaSenpai:
Well, my device not bricked as i can still use it, its just that i have a default imei and product code. Im aware that its digitally signed, but if im taking a file thats digitally signed by the same product then i would assume thats okay.

A digitally signed file from an one i9000m should be signed the same way as another i9000m would digitally sign a file no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Yes most likely but then it will have the IMEI of THE OTHER device and that's not what you want. If you change the file then the md5 checksum becomes invalid. However, I thought I read somewhere that the phone would re-create teh checksum file if it's missing. Whether this allows you to change the file I do not know......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rawat:
It won't work, the files are device specific.

EDIT: Aha, found the posts i was looking for.

It works only for product code...

i restore my DBT product code in this way:

-first copy the nv_data.bin and md5 files with their bak files (4 files)

-reboot

then my sims didnt work right ... (wrong pin error)

-with root explorer i deleted the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 files. DONT DELETE the .bak files....

reboot.

my product code is now ok and my sim works.

imei...wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BakaSenpai:
Bah! Had I only found this earlier, then I guess I wouldn't have posted this questions then. *sigh* I guess i just have to wait for some kind of solution. Thanks Rawat

I tried this and it dosen't work. The device somehow validates the imei..

Hi,

I used belgian simcard on HTC diamond(unlocked from O2 I think, becuase there is a logo). Then i used it with russian simcard. And now HTC do not see any simcard. I tried to reinstall new rom. It doesn't help...

Did sb had the same problem? Is it possible to fix?

Thanks a lot for all help..;

have a nice day
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] braunie:
exclude a software problem ...

The best thing to exclude a software-problem is:

1. remove the battery and replace it after a few seconds

2. flash the newest original rom from the provider how sells the phone (O2?)

3. after you start the new rom make a hardreset and the post the result here, the it will be a hardware problem (warranty?), if the simcard works in an other phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] paradoxru:
Thank you for your reaction!

I didn't understood this :

"flash the newest original rom from the provider how sells the phone (O2?)"

- I need to install a ropm from O2 right?

Unfortunately no waranty(bought on eBay without warranty...)

And sim card is working on another phone... and I tried differents sims from different providers...

i will try to install original ROM...

Is it possible to put mobile on factory settings

Thanks for your answer...!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] braunie:
No, I meen if your diamond is an xda diamond, you will have to install the O2-ROM, if it is a mda compact IV, you have to install the t-mobile-rom. If you have the HTC Touch Diamond, install the HTC-ROM. If it is orange branded install the orange-rom. OK?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] paradoxru:
Hi,

I installed a rom from HTC website. I used rom related to my S/N. And it was O2.

And it is still the same problem. It says simcard is missing(even if I use belgian or O2 sim card, problem remains...)

May be it is another problem?

Thanks for your help...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] braunie:
Have you done these steps?

Have you tested the sim cards in an other phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mister B:
Sounds like it maybe a problem with the tabs that contact the sim. you could of damaged them when you last swapped to the russian sim, you could look at the sim slot as best you can to see if any of the contact tabs look bent out of place & if looks ok you could try placing a thin bit of card or folded paper on the back of the sim card so it is more thick & will be pushed more firmly onto the contacts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] paradoxru:
@ braunie,

yes, sim cards are working on other phones...

And I followed all steps and result: "The SIM is missing".....

@ Mister B,

I tried this...:)))

paper then double paper, triple..; and it is very firmly.. but "The SIM is missing".....

I don't know wtat can I do else....

somebody got same problem....?

braunie, mister B, thanks for your answers!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] paradoxru:
U was right....

I tried to use a paper clip to move it and it is working now... U was right it is a coctact problem...

Thanks for your support

Now I have another problem with my 2d diamond...

screen is almostr black when phone is switched on...When it is charging it is ok but when without charger, it is to black... almost no display...

May be somebody got similaire problem....?

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mister B:
Check the screen backlight settings. They have setting for when on battery & when on mains supply IE; charging, so maybe the battery setting for screen backlight is set way too low ! just a hunch but good place to start.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] paradoxru:
Mister B,

I tried, it is not working...

when I reinstall new rom setting are set default, no?

because even after installation of new rom, it is still black...:(((

if not, is it possible to set on factory setting all device?

Maybe it is a screen problem?

Thanks alot...

Hi!

Currently rSAP is not supported.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be too hard, to implement this:

www(dot)linuxfordevices(dot)com/c/a/News/Sybase-iAnywhere-Blue-SDK-for-Android/

in an android build, to support rSAP. It seems it contains everything needed?

I think many would be very very happy, to see this implemented.

Regards,

[Click Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
Hello,

I am making this thread for my next ROM which is being released soon. It is based on a leaked chinese version of Android 2.2 for Wildfire. I have managed to boot it (albeit with most hardware not yet working). I am removing the chinese apps and adding things like the android market and multiple languages, as well as looking into the hardware problems to fix.

First impressions so far are that Froyo is fast even with Sense, I didn't experience any lag yet.

What to expect when the ROM comes:

*Root

*FroYo

*System apps relocated to /data/app_s (like in KiljackenROM)

*Android Market

*Flash Player (Flash Lite, NOT 10.1)

Looking forward to getting this ROM working fully for you guys and releasing it :)

To do:

*Fix Wifi

*Fix Bluetooth

*Fix Sensors

*Fix Camera (or at least try to)

*Fix FM Radio

*Add APNs

*Add HTC Facebook & Twitter (FriendStream)

NOTE : THREAD TEMPORARILY CLOSED WILL OPEN WHEN JACOB IS READY WITH HIS NEW ROM

JACOB SEND ME A PM LATTER ON WEN UR READY OK
[Click Android Development] AntonioCorrenti:
Great!

I think the camera will not work, but i can't wait.

[Click Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:

Not sure yet :P
[Click Android Development] LionGreen:
Great news :)

I like Sense UI, now on froyo will run better I think.

Thank you for your hard work :D
[Click Android Development] gospodarvuk:
Great!!!

Cant wait to see some screenshots, even if camera never worked, froyo runs great on our "poor" tattoo. Would love to see sense on 2.2 ,even if it slows a phone a little bit, never mind, but then maybe you will allow for some OC in the kernel?

Keep up the great work, be well and THANX once more.

can you make make two versions for this ROM? one with chinese APP, one without chinese APP.

how do you hope for 3D if tattoo doesn't have any gpu card so any 3D acceleration apart for a software emulation?

bluetooth works fine in almost every froyo release...I hope for fm-radio too but I don't think a camera solution will come soon :(

Software emulation, like on the stock 1.6 ROM (as well as HCDR.ROM). So we can use the 3D gallery, and not the crappy 2D one.

I think this is what i have been waiting for.. I can live without camera and fm radio! But both froyo AND htc sense.. Wow thats like a dream come true, like getting a whole shiny new phone ! :D

I think this means we will see HTC keyboards too?

Btw not to borther you, but it will be nice if you made a "todo" list on the 1st page, so people can see what is left for you to be fixed before a possible release. It would also be nice for you self :D

Looking forward Jacob. Take your time!

[Click Android Development] rafaelegomezb:
I am positive

I don't get it. Is anyone obliged to use anyone else's ROM?

Is anyone paying for getting any development, so they feel in such right of complaining?

-I don't like this, I don't like that.

-Easy, my friend: Don't use it.

-I don't think you will do it?

-He is trying, are you? And after all, who need your negativism?

I'm happy to see you are giving Froyo a shot, 'cause your 1.6 are all great. I've tried them all, and have NO COMPLAINS AT ALL!

Will Froyo be fully operative and usable on Tattoo? We will not get to know dragging down our Dev's, nor whining. I'll be here, thankfully and patienly waiting for your good news, whatever the outcome be.

Good night.
[Click Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
Well so far it's almost completely unusable, I only flash it for testing because barely anything works. Working on fixes though, will probably release when I've stripped CN apps and added Google Apps :)

I would have released by now (and I was hoping to have done) but I've had a LOT more school work than I anticipated, so sorry about that everyone :P
[Click Android Development] xenonfire:
take your time buddy. Its done if its done
[Click Android Development] haree:

No more comments on this topic will be entertained OK

i think the OP has handled this pls leave it at that OK

if u dont like this rom just don't use it and post ur problem in the relevant thread

this is not the relevant thread

TO ALL again end of topic no more postings regarding this OK
[Click Android Development] Da9L:
Just take your time. :) I think we should be glad to see that such a great dev is giving this a shot on our tattoo. We will at least get to see if it is possible at all ! :p

However i believe if anyone can get this to work it is you.

And now we can follow your progress on the todo list :D
[Click Android Development] gospodarvuk:

take your time and no rush, if at any moment you think some screenshots are interesting ,if you could post one or two we would all be all the more happy.

for smart people anticipation of something good is something to be relished.

[Click Android Development] SAuRoN92:
if its based on sense wildfire rom does that mean bt handsfree will work?
[Click Android Development] Da9L:
Yes i think it is.. But you cant really say thats a reason for bt handsfree to work. Remember it is still two different devices and when this kind of software is portet from one device to another, a lot of things needs to be changed such as drivers and stuff. This means that a lot of things might not work as intented. Maybe wildfire uses another Bluetooth chipset and therefore the drivers needs to be changed..

It can be a complicated process i believe!
[Click Android Development] nick85180:

I have been looking into it and discovered that it needs a LOT of work, and even then not everything will work due to the chinese base.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
since i was unable to find the proper answer to fix the problem the easy way

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793254

i had to go it the hard way

just went ahead and Wiped my phone.

it was less painful than i though it'll be, it was within the calculated parameters of the process involved to get your device up to speed in record time in a massive failure

so once the phone booted back into the OS, the very first thing i did was to setup APN

then sign in to my gmail account, BAM! got all my pictures, phones, contacts, calendars, etc, every thing back

then next task was to install AppsBrain, hit sync and BAM! i got my list of 400+ apps to install back

now i'm clicking through about 800 times install, okay, continue LOL :r

and i'm rather surprise Android Market, and the OS hasn't crapped out on me yet with the massive deluge of files action

it's install faster than i though... only 200+ apps to go

and about 15+ more email / IM accounts to join back into the system, and reconfiguring 400 apps

the Titanium Backup backed up files got wiped out in the process :(

at least i'm getting a good vibe out of this, it means the upgrade to Froyo will be just the same

the phone is HOT of all the 3.5G activity
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the actual 3 button reboot to Recovery Mode + Wipe data and reboot back took less than a minute.

chances of missing a call during this time is quite low

SMS will be downloaded as soon as your phone goes back into OS, so chances of missing out on an important SMS is very unlikely
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
another interesting i noticed is that the File System is not choking up as it did before the Hard Reset.

before i couldn't get more than 4 apps downloading/installing concurrently in parallel

right now i'm doing around 10 at a time, and it doesn't slow down.

what gives? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMReuffurth:
Really? Maybe i should wipe my device to :D

Installing more than 3 apps at the same moment.... it´s just a pain...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
exactly, normally when you try to download and install 4 apps simultaneously it gets sooooooo slow, worse than a snail

but for some odd reason right now that is not happening, it's smooth download and install, i wonder that's the difference
