pc36img

hey guys, just finished rooting my Evo. I have to say it was painless, thanks to your instructions. One question though, do i need to rename the pc36.img on the sd card, leave it as is or just delete it from my sd card.

thanks and again great job

[EVO 4G Android Development] dwntwnall4u:
Thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to get it working with Cricket.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
your talking about the hboot pc36img.zip you got from the other threat...no just put on sd, go to bootloader (vol down and pwer button) and it will scan the file and automatically ask if you want to flash..
[EVO 4G Android Development] nbenmoshe:

From Unrevoked.com:

Does this permanently unlock the NAND flash on my phone?

Yes. The default configuration of this tool disables the phone's security, which also disables the NAND locks placed on the storage by the bootloader. If you choose not to disable security, the /system partition will be read-only after the tool completes.

It seems as if running Unrevoked Forever is not necessary anymore.

Am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] trizyman:
That's what I thought. Any answers?

Edit: And I have s off from Unrevoked 3.21. It says it on the bootloader menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Unrevoked forever is included in unrevoked 3.21. I rooted with unrevoked before the latested ota. I am now stock unrooted with the 3.29 OTA (had to take the phone into sprint). Just out of curiosity, why do we have to apply the pc36img zip this time around? Im confused now lol. Thanks for the write up by the way!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
i used both unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever because i don't see why they wouldn't take one down if they were the same...so...and yes with this you have to get the pc36img.zip from that site and use it if you want cm6 rom, or fastboot commands..
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
I had a feeling it is for CM6 but wasn't sure... Im trying to get as much info as I can so I know what and why I am doing stuff! Still noobish.. but ill get there eventually!! Thanks for the info!
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
lolwut

I'm not sure how that can be interpreted as something a jerk might say.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v5HMeca:
I'm guessing they keep unrevoked forever around for folks that are still on the "original" unrevoked. But yeah, from the unrevoked3 page:

Does this permanently unlock the NAND flash on my phone?

Yes. The default configuration of this tool disables the phone's security, which also disables the NAND locks placed on the storage by the bootloader. If you choose not to disable security, the /system partition will be read-only after the tool completes.​

Error while flashing boot image

Everything went well until I loaded the ENG bootloader. Now I am in the loop, but I followed your instructions to restore the last backup, but I get the error: "Error while flashing boot image".

My phone now shows it HBOOT 0.76.2000 but goes to fastboot everytime.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] zach.green:
Figured it out. I couldn't reload any of the backups because they were from a previous hboot version. I installed cyanogen from a zip from recovery, and that loaded.

[Android] ricsim78:
Hey everyone, I have successfully made a few ROMS for myself (using the DSIXDA HTC Android ROM kitchen v 1.00). I am making a ROM for the HTC Evo.

I know how to do most of it, I have managed so far:

To add my own ringtones

To add my own notification sounds

To set the default ringtone, notification, and change the default wallpaper

Add a theme to my ROM

But there is a few questions I have. I have Googled, looked around on here, and done what I can to find the answers but I am so far unsuccessful.

My first question: Ok, I know that the default wallpapers reside in the system/customize/resource directory. I have attempted to replace the wallpaper (and small preview) wallpapers with my own custom ones. I tried using Paint.net for Windows to resize to the same dimensions as the default wallpaper. For example, to replace htc_wallpaper_01.jpg, I edited a 960x800 wallpaper to have the same size and name (everything the same) and changed htc_wallpaper_small_01 with a matching 80x60 smaller version of the new graphic. I have found sometimes it works, but if I do a few using the method mentioned above, the ROM fails to load up. Can someone help and explain why?

Question 2: I am trying to place the removed apps automatically on the SD Card. I made a "sdcard" folder in the root directory of my ROM. I tried editing the update.zip to include copy_dir PACKAGE:sdcard /sdcard and when I do a check for errors I get none, yet when I try and install the ROM it gives me the "E:syntax error in update script" meaning I am not doing it right. I tried doing it the same way Fresh did it and it also threw me the same error.

So can anyone please tell me how to do this? I know I am close with both and I have tried dissecting other ROMS to see how they did it but I cannot figure it out.
[Android] RichieDaze:
First question:

It could be many possibilities. Maybe not enough room on system, file names not matching, etc...

Try each png on seperate flashes to find the culprit.

*The best way to find out for sure is to use "adb logcat" on boot. This tells you all your errors the OS has.*

Second question:

Im not understanding what your trying to do?

Root of a rom is /

sdcard is mounted to a folder on /

If you want to store the apk on sdcard then,

the proper code to install in /sdcard from update.zip:

copy_dir PACKAGE:sdcard SDCARD:

If this is not what your asking please explain to me what your asking.
[Android] ricsim78:
Thank you RichieDaze for the response.

You mentioned png., but all the ROMS I have seen have the wallpaper in .jpg format. I was just wondering if there was a certain size they have to be (I mimic the exact size of the default ones).

I think I got this part worked out by doing exactly that, installing 1 at a time until I find the culprit.

For question 2: Thanks to using the DSIXDA kitchen, I cannot use updater.script, which seems to be the way ROM makers like Calkulin, Hero_over, and other have used to set their removed apps to automatically copy on to the SD card when you install the ROM.

I have to use update.script instead, and when I try and do it using that I run into an error.

What I am trying to is remove the usual bloat from the ROM, but copy the removed apps so that users can have the option of installing them if they use any of them.

You are answering my question and are on the right track to helping me. I will try to add that (the way you wrote it out) and see what happens to my update.script.

Thank you very much for your help, greatly appreciated and please let me know if there is some other way to do this if you are aware of any or if someone is using update.script instead of updater.script.

cool stuff but can you make it say EVO or HTC EVO

the word fire for a boot anim. seems silly to me.

Thats Cool...It's something different. Do I just flash this or how can I get it on my phone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
you push or use a root explorer of your preference to put it where your default boot animation is... its found in one of 4 places this far...

/system/media

/data/local/

/system/customize

/system/customize/resources

look for your original and replace it with the one of your liking... :p

what/how did you do it... ?

push it or use a root explorer?

I was using root explorer. When i tried to move the new bootanimation into where the current one is root explrer says iten cannot be moved here directory is read only. I am rooted with virus airbourne rom

This goes well with the Red theme I'm planning on installing. Good Job :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
Ok... in your root explorer mount system as writable and then copy the bootanimation over...

You can not make / replace anything in system folder until you mount it...

Oh ok, i saw the mount button at the top of the scree and wasnt sure what it did. Thanks alot for your help, i appreciate it.

I actually like the one in the youtube video

Due to a lack of interest from the xda crowd this bootscreen has been abandoned and all files needed to reproduce this effect deleted... sorry... if I get more requests I can remake the effect...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TorqueWrench001:
Thank you for responding.

To me that is surprising, I've been looking at a lot of bootanimations and I thought that your design was pretty cool.

I guess I will keep looking or try to learn how to make them myself. Time is the factor. Life seems to be too busy to try to devote the time needed to make my own.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliett:
I have some non-market apps that i downloaded on my computer. Is there a certain place I am supposed to copy the .apk on the phone or am I supposed to use a program? I've heard some thing about AppsInstaller but I am still not 100% sure about how the process goes. I've got the OCLF and Titanium back-up working so I'm pretty sure my root is good as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridironbear:
Go into the Market and search for "Astro". Its a file manager. Once you've downloaded it open it up and go to whatever directory that you saved the apk's to. Select whichever apk you want to install, and the default application installer should come up. Also if you have the Vibrant you could use the stock file manager. Hope this answers your?.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon102034050:
So I recently purchased a Vibrant from a fellow off craigslist. I was able to eventually get SGS unlocker from the market to get me a code. That code didnt work, so I tried flashing to a different vibrant firmware. My phone froze up and I had to send it to samsung. I just got it back after 8 days and they fixed it. I am now not able to get SGS unlock to work and the Get_Unlockcodes doesnt yield results. Is my phone hopeless or what? This is driving me crazy!

Also, I bought a code from GSM Liberty and they came up with the same code that I already had, which obviously didnt work...

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon102034050:
bump

Nobody has any ideas??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
There was an article that stated that "unlock codes we actually stored in the vibrant" & there should be a thread in the vibrant forum that you could search for. I'm only guessing, but it's possible that when you sent the phone back to sammy they could of locked it... But like I said thats just a wild guess.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon102034050:
Naw, probably not it because I couldnt get it unlocked before I sent it to them either... But a good hypothesis nonetheless.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Since you own the phone outright and since you've already had T-Mobile support service the phone you've missed one obvious opportunity (unless you've tried this and not mentioned it).

Asking T-Mobile. T-Mobile is pretty easy going about providing unlock codes for devices.

Barring that I'd suggest Odin3'ing your way back to a full factory JFD release (unless T-Mobile's repair involved installing JFD instead of another build) and obtaining your lock code from the original build.

Best of luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon102034050:
I actually sent it to Samsung for repair, not tmobile. Tmobile hasnt done anything for me, they refuse to do anything. Samsung hasnt really dont anything either in terms of unlocking it. I got the unlock and unfreeze codes myself, and samsung was able to veryify them. Other than that, they keep telling me to contact Tmob because they "have more unlock codes that can work"

I am actually running UVJFD currently, but at one point, I flashed to UVJI4. Then I tried flashing back to UVJFD, thats where I ran into some problems. Samsung reflashed it to UVJFD though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trashcan:
remember when you enter the unlock code to the phone, it's the network unlock code you'll use, not the unfreeze code.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Also when(before) you flash a custom ROM, you need to make a backup of your nv_data.bin in the /efs directory, if at some point you did not do this, you may have lost the codes for your phone, if the unlock code does not work restoring your original nv_data.bin should help.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capngalaxy:
I flashed my phone with Odin to ECLAIR.UVJI5. I too had a nv_data.bin file that had all "FFFFFFFF" in the proper location for the

unlock code. sgux could not extract any codes.

I was lucky that the guy I bought the phone from on craigslist was really cool and helped me get the unlock code from T-Mobile. They

happen to match the unlock codes I pulled from the phone prior to flashing the new ROM.

I used a hexeditor to put the original unlock code back into nv_data.bin and sgux.exe was able to extract the codes as designed.

I used the commands below with the adb from the android SDK to put the nv_data.bin that sgux.exe can find the codes on, back to /efs

su

busybox mv /efs/.nv_data.bak /efs/.nv_data.bakk

busybox mv /efs/.nv_data.bak.md5 /efs/.nv_data.bakk.md5

rm /efs/nv_data.bin

rm /efs/nv_data.bin.md5

rm /efs/.nv2.bak

rm /efs/.nv2.bak.md5

busybox cp /sdcard/sd/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin

chmod 755 /efs/nv_data.bin

chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin

Then I put in the SIM card from the foreign carrier (locked from t-mobile and put a NTT-DOCOMO sim card in). The phone boots and asked

for the unlock code.

Unlock unsuccessful.

I am currently in Japan where this blasted thing is supposed to be working, but I have a SIM card that I paid for and a phone that won't

Does anybody have any suggestions?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capngalaxy:
Ok, so I fixed my own problem.

I figured out after doing a lot of testing with different versions of the nv_data.bin file and found that even after changing the unlock and unfreeze codes in nv_data.bin and putting it back into my vibrant /efs directory, the phone would overwrite the nv_data.bin file and put FFFFFFFF in where the unlock code was supposed to be.

I took a chance and did a chmod 555 on nv_data.bin instead of a chmod 755. I believe this made it so the boot process could not overwrite the nv_data.bin file. I copied the nv_data.bin file back to my PC and used the sgux.exe and confirmed that it was showing the unlock and unfreeze codes correctly.

Then I shut down the phone, put the NTT-DOCOMO sim card, booted back up and BAM! I got basic phone service.

Ater putting in the APN, user name and password, I then had solid 3G. I am now tethering my Dell laptop over Wifi and am happy as a clam. I'll now work on getting SMS working, but I'll save that for another thread.

Thanks to all the vibrant pioneers before me for laying the groundwork that made it possible for me to get phone and data services during my visit in Japan.

Tried Running It from Desktop and it never finds nv_data.bin tried using file explorer with superuser installed,...EFS always Empty! Copy to SD card and take a look with show hidden files on computer in effect...Nothing in the EFS Directory....That is the Extent of what Im able to do,...I at one point extracted the .bak file only to discover when searching SSNV that there was no code, I did see 8 letters clustered that were "FFFFFFFF" Tried Changing them to "00000000" and Saving the .BAK file now Im clueless at this step what to do, its sitting on my Embedded SD card and I have no Idea how to load it back into the phone?.....Major problem is If it was windows mobile I could comprehend to some degree what I was doing, but with this being my first Android device Im depending entirely on Directions from other users, Luck,...And Help from the community,....If somebody could make a foolproof guide and sticky it I would be so happy.

Flashing ROMS makes you lose the ability to unlock your Vibrant?

If you have flashed a custom rom, and you never backed up your nv_data.bin, then you have totally lost the ability to unlock your phone even with the correct unlock code???? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I was browsing Samsung's Official Twitter & They posted this link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-says-all-galaxy-s-phones-will-get-android-2-2/

Samsung has mercifully confirmed at an event in New York this evening that all Galaxy S versions -- including the Captivate, Epic 4G, Vibrant, and Fascinate -- will be receiving updates to Android 2.2 Froyo later this year and offer compatibility with Flash 10.1. All of the devices will be shipping with Android 2.1 out of the gate, so considering that Froyo's already launched, we're sure there'll be no shortage of pressure to get the updates fast-tracked. Sprint says it won't be a long wait on the Epic, but otherwise, we don't have any time frames at this point.

So for the people who said "My cousins, brothers, dog said we won't get Froyo.." Well just Read & Weep :)
