I Concur

---------

I totally agree with you on this, I had stock ROM, flashed to Bionix 1.8, after the initial waiting period to grab a bird, I have since seen consistent locks (within SECONDS) using this ROM with JI2 baseband (to avoid data improvement/battery issues). It is now working in my house where it wasn't before. In particular with Wireless Networks turned off, that little satellite icon locks right quick.

Can endorse the Bionix ROMs highly enough, this thing is truly butter as advertised.

Also, this is with factory GPS settings (not supl.google.com).

Salud, happy vibrant-ing!

There was an update? My wifes phone did an update yesterday from tmobile but my phone hasn't.
[Vibrant General] MUSASHI66:
I upgraded yesterday through mini Keis, and locked on to 9 of 11 satellites, indoors. I tested this morning while driving to work, it was accurate, and navigation App works like a charm. Loving the layers and satellite view!

Before, I could rarely even get a GPS lock.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_droid:
I recently rooted my Dinc. I had no problems, had full functionality. Then i wanted to download a quick rom just to make sure it worked; jager rom. After downloading the rom i unplugged safely removed my phone from my pc. I plugged it back in but now i can't access my sdcard. Dont get any notifications on my phone asking whether i want to charge or switch to hard disk etc. etc. I then went to "connect to pc" through my phone settings to set default connection to hard disk, but still nothing. I then went through cmd promp on computer and adb reboot recovery. From there i wiped my memory, cache, and then the dalvik cache. Still nothing and still running the jager rom. Ne one have ne suggestions, been through this, know how to fix it help would be nice. I have full functionality of my phone. Just can't connect to pc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfiniti9:
Most likely your sd card died. It happens. Try it in an adapter in a PC flash card reader. Oh, btw prob wrong forum.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdhvanIt:
It would still ask what you want to do with a dead sd. The rom should also tell you no sdcard found or bad card.

Reboot to recovery and try to mount usb that way. If that doesn't work, reboot your pc, it happens sometimes to me and just needs a reboot to fix it.

Furthermore, if you're able to use adb, then you are indeed connected to the pc. Don't do the safely remove hardware next time. Just switch the connection type in your phone to charge only and unplug.

Also.. yes, wrong forum.
[General Questions and Answers] gepp:
I'm currently running WM6 on an 8525 and have a lot of apps I've grown fond of. I need another piece of hardware and it occurred to me there is probably something out there I can run WM6 on now but will run Android later when I have the time to make the switch.

What should I get? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Prefer something a little older so I can pick it up on eBay without taking out a loan.

Yea Yea, I know the most common question, yet I don't see anything for the newest version (3.26.651.6)

I am not looking for any special Rom, just a standard Root.. A one click would be great, but whatever you guys recommend would be awesome!

THANKS!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
First, 3.26 is not the newest version. The current OTA is 3.29.

Just followed all that exactly, I have NO idea if it worked or not.. It went to the boot screen twice on mine and only once on the video and the video also showed it going into a dos type of screen "loading" things (on the phone)

MINE DIDNT DO ANY OF THAT..

This is nuts! How am I to tell if it is installed or not? The instructions dont tell you at all how to check!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Restart the phone into boot loader. (Volume down + power.)

Does it say S-Off in the first line?

Yes? Then you should load into Clockwork by selecting recovery.

Also is super user app installed?

If yes to both, you should be rooted.

The dos screen was probably adb, just to show it was rooted.

If you open the tools folder with adb in it and type "adb shell" it should show a $ if its rooted and a # if it is not.

If you type "su" your phone should then show a superuser request, which also means you're rooted with super user access.

(I clicked though the videos but didn't see any dos screens. :-/)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkd711:
learn how to use the search feature on this site, and read the instructions 3times before trying to do something you are not familiar with on your new phone. Rushing into things will only cause you problems...

if you show S-off in the bootloader menu then you have done the root correctly.

Goodluck.

i just rooted my evo yesterday using the instructions in his post. it's the easiest and quickest method i've found. hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Yea I rushed a little for sure..

But Im coming from a CE phone and very familiar with it..

Here is the problem... and I notice with many many other people to.

I wound up doing the 1 click rooting, but it took some digging and searching to figure out I needed an additional program, (SU)

It doesn't mention on almost every tutorial that you need to get a file managing program and the SU program.

Sure it teaches you how to root properly, but to actually benefit from the root you need the other files.

Well, in anycase, Im happy :) got what I wanted and what I wanted to work, works flawlessly :)

Thanks guys!

hey whats up guys!!!! im just posting this thread cause i really need help on flashing my tmobile leo usa htc hd2.... you see i have followed the "how to flash your htc hd2 [for noobs]" tutorial and im on the the part where my phone is gonna connect to my computer using hspl and my phone is gonna go on bootloader... however it cant connect to hspl... it saids "critical error: bad spl" now i dont know what to do.. it wont connect to hspl.. btw my phone's spl as it saids in the bootloader is 2.10.000.... let me know please quickly!!!! thanks
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
You have got too high of an SPL. You need to downgrade to 2.08. To do so, flash the official T-Mobile ROM, specifically the 2.13 SHIPPED version. You can get it in the ROM section of these forums. After you apply that ROM, your SPL SHOULD be 2.08, and if it is, slap HardSPL on it and let it roll!
[HD2 General] jash23:
uh can u send me a link on the official rom and how to downgrade using the official tmobile rom??? and will this in anyway have a chance to harm my phone???? cause im really scared of making a mistake and bricking my phone
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I've never had a problem flashing a 2.10 without downgrading. If you go over to page two you'll see a how to video I made that shows you how to flash step by step.
[HD2 General] jash23:
Uh yu think i should try hard reseting my phone first??? And then if it doesnt work then try using dowbgrade...
[HD2 General] Tin Ji:
If you are talking about flashing custom rom, you have to have HSPL on your phone first before you can flash the rom.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
critical error, bad spl sounds like you are using the wrong hspl. you should be using hspl3, my guess is you are using hspl2 or hspl1024, neither of which will work with spl 2.10.0000
[HD2 General] jash23:
ya actually i am using hspl2_1024... the one that is on the link of the tutorial.. is this the wrong one??? do i need to use a different hspl??
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Oh, I didn't even think to ask that. Yeah HardSPL1024 won't work with SPL2.10. Download HardSPL3 and it should work just fine with 2.10.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hspl1024 was brought out when all tmous phones had 2.08.0000 spl, and only supported tmous phones, and only 2.08 spl, and it was quickly replaced by hspl3 as a one size fits all hspl. (Though in reality regular hd2 users should stick to hspl2 for more flexibility)
[HD2 General] jash23:
uh so is hspl3 the same as hspl2??? like i mean... uh is it the same process??? just connect and wait??? oh and what spl do i need to transfer it too??? do i need to choose 2.08??? can u tell me how i should do it???
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Same thing but with less chooses making it almost fool proof.
[HD2 General] jash23:
what exactly do i need to do??? canu u give me steps and links where to download this hspl3
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Its in the stickies...."HardSPL"....
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
blimey, calm down, most mistakes happen when excited/stressed.

yes its the same, the actual spl/hspl code that gets loaded to your phone is teh same from hspl2 as hspl3 as hspl1024, , the only difference is in the actual .exe program, what phone models it checks for, and what spl's hspl's are available. (tmous cant use 1.x spl's so they arent in hspl3)

theres a direct link in my sig to hspl3 get it, run it, choose 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000, thats stock.

Jimmy thanks for this, simple but very precise. The wiki seems to be written for somebody that already knows all the details. It's also not very clear as to whether or not you can go straight from eclair to cog2.2, you cleared it up for me so now I don't have to start a "sorry about the noobness" thread/post. I'm running cog 2.1.5 so I have done it before, even used odin once. Thanks again

I appreciate the detailed instructions. A few details to be added. Odin is Windows only, and one click root does not copy the zip file successfully for me (on a Mac). I had to view the package contents of the program and drag the file over and rename it myself, then used the program to reboot into recovery (3 button didn't work for me either).

copy cog file to your sd card; install rom manager and continue from there, it will fail the first time (mostly) start phone again and reinstall package..done.
[Captivate General] delerium76:
There's also one more thing the op didn't mention. If this is targeted at noobs, it really should be mentioned that if you follow these instructions, you are essentially wiping your entire phone clean (by the odin one click stock). If your that paranoid, go for it.

To me though, I just use titanium backup first, and back everything up. Then after upgrading to cog from eclair (directly without reverting to stock) you can restore your THIRD PARTY apps plus their data. (avoid restoring core apps as thats a bad idea) Not to mention no need to back up and restore any of the media you might have on the internal sd card. (not sure if odin one click stock touches that stuff or not)

I've had no problems in any of my ROM upgrades, and I've moved from 2.1 to cog 2.2 beta 2, then again today to cog 2.2 beta 6. All of that without a restore to stock. You really should only restore to stock if you are having problems AFTER upgrading. Why do extra work and wipe the whole thing clean if it's not necessary? Just adds steps, and possible frustration from people not expecting a wiped phone.

If you believe that it looks like we can add an additional 32 Gig SD card to the Samsung focus prior to initializing it (or at least requiring a hard reset after it is inserted), exactly what is the type of card which we may utilize?

If this thing really does need to be in the phone before it is set up, or require a hard reset, I may as well have the thing (SD card) in my hot little hand before I walk into an att store and the clerk tries to slip the battery in the phone.

***EDIT***UPDATE***

OK, just got off phone with Samsung tech support, via the phone # above.

She told me that the MicroSD card slot under the battery cover WILL BE REMOVABLE WITHOUT HARD RESET of the phone.

That I can use multiple MicroSD cards with the phone, i.e. adding movies to multiple MicroSD flash drives for a vacation.

AS LONG AS the flash drive is only used in the SGH-i917 Focus and a Computer.

If added to another phone or device it may require reformatting before using in the Focus again.
[Focus General] MHC48:
That is just so contrary to anything and everything we've seen so far that it is hard to credit.

I've already ordered a class 6 16GB card (the Transcend, I hope it fares better than the reviews cited above) but I ordered it for the additional storage, not with any expectation of being able to swap it in and out or use on a computer.

As far as hoping for anything more, it would only be that a class 6 card might perform better than a class 0 or 2 which others in the HD7 forum report are being shipped in the HD7.
