Hi All,

I need your help in urgent!!!

My ELF GSM infor:

- DeviceID: ELF011000

- CID : DOPOD701

My ELF worked fine before I tried to upgrade its IPL from 1.11.0002 to 2.26.0002, then this problem occur. Because a WM 6.1 ROM requires to have IPL 2.27.0002 and SPL 2.28.0000 so I kept continue upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.27.0002 and 2.28.0000.

I tried to flash my ELF, from bootloader mode, with these ROMs:

- RUU_Elf_DOPOD_chs_1.11.706.1B, this ROM I got from a China forum, it is my device original ROM

- RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.11.707.1B_4.1.13.42_02.93.90_Ship.exe

- RUU_Elf_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.17.707.2B_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe

- RUU_Elf_HTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.15.721.3B_4.1.13.46_02.97.90_BLUE_Ship.exe

- ESSential_4_5

- Onyx_jr_4_4_2_Light

They are all 100% successfull but the IPL/SPL unchanged (2.27.0002 and 2.28.0000) and the device still loop at smart mobility, can not jump into OS.

I did try to use unbricker ROM and goldcard (with original ROM or unbricker ROM inside) but the ELF still stuck at smart mobility...

Please give me your advices, what should I do (except buying a new phone)?

Thanks for your time!
[Touch GSM General] elf341:
Flash your Official ROM

First try to flash your official ROM and then try to flash ipl/spl again follow step by step. After that try to flash customize ROM again. Hope you will success.:)
[Touch GSM General] rockerboom:
Dear ELF341,

Thanks for your advice!

When I flash the original ROM, 100% successful, then my ELF loop at the China Mobile screen then reset... I don't have the IPL1.11.0002 and SPL 1.11.0000, the lowest I have is IPL1.17.0002 and SPL1.17.0000. I tried to flash back the 1.17 version, after 100% successful, enter bootloader, the IPL 2.27.0002 and SPL 2.28.0000 still remain!?

Please tell me how to do!

Thanks for your time!
[Touch GSM General] elf341:
After flash back to official ROM , enter bootloader and check ipl/spl first.

Normally, if you flash ipl/spl (not hard spl) when you flash back to the official ROM the ipl/spl will back to original. S/R - wait for boot to WM if OK then do H/R again. And flash ipl/spl again - enter bootloader and check ipl/spl again (changed or not) if OK after that I recommended you flash Onyx ROM. I used it for long time and no trouble.

Hope, it's can help you.:)
[Touch GSM General] rockerboom:
Dear ELF341,

Thanks for your reply!

After 100% successful loading the original ROM, my ELF restart and loop at the China Mobile screen... When I enter bootloader, the IPL/SPL still remain as IPL 2.27.0002 SPL 2.28.0000

I understand that when we flash the original ROM, the IPL/SPL will roll back to its original version, but mine is so strange?! Does this mean that:

- My ELF's flash ROM is fail or locked at the region for IPL/SPL so that whatever ROM I flash (these ROM contain ILP,SPL,OS,radio..) the IPL/SPL unchaged?

- The original ROM is actually not match to my ELF?? But I already flashed the other ship WWE ROM and also the unbricker ROM, they all loop at smart mobility...

Please help me!
[Touch GSM General] elf341:
How you flashed ROM ? By RUU (PC) or used microSD card. I recommened you to use RUU (PC) follow step by step. Sometime when I used microSD card to flashed ROM , it's successful but cannot boot, after that I flashed Official ROM by RUU and unlocked the phone again it's back to normal. And your official ROM, you must check with your operator or distributor because in different zone it's use diferent ROM.
[Touch GSM General] rockerboom:
Dear ELF341,

I only can flash via PC RUU, I don't succeed in SD card way:

- When I copy the *.nbh file into SD card, then enter bootloader, I just can see the checking SD card content string displayed very fast, then the tri color screen.

- When I create a goldcard and copy *nbh file into it, enter bootloader, the brick ask for 'upgrading SD image', I press power button for it to start download but it hang at 'downloading from SD' with a blank download status bar.

Actually I bought this ELF from a man on my local site, so I don't know where is the distributor...I used the mtty and usb monitor to check for my device infor, then search internet for my original ROM, I only can find in a China forum that match my deviceID/CID....

For my case, I really don't know why I can not change its IPL/SPL version? Please help me!!!

Thanks for your time!
[Touch GSM General] sagar_tiru2006:
well u hav to rename the nbh file to ELF0IMG for SD card flashing to work.

[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I don't know if anyone has any knowledge about this but the official omnia7 website states 8/16gb. Does this mean we will get a choice like the iPhone or is this them just saying guess what America is getting more like HTC have done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Omnia7 won't be released in the US.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I didn't realize this, thats good i guess limits this possibility though there is still the Asian market but lets hope. 16gb isn't a great deal but its enough for me where as 8 would mean a lot of sacrifice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paolo01:
The Omnia 7 is the equivalent of the Samsung Focus which is going to be released in the US. Like many phones, they have different names in different countries. Anyway, in the US it will be sold with 8GB and will be upgradeable to an additional 32GB for a total of 40GB by the user. The internal memory is upgradeable but not removeable and will require a hard reset after the change is made. This is due to the way that the OS will use the additional memory and write files spanning the entire volume.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
The question is, will the EU version, a.k.a Omnia 7 be upgradeable aswell?

It would make sense if the upgrading works like spanning devices, you can add drives but you can't remove them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I don't think it will have the card slot like the focus but the 2 specs seem odd to me. I really hope you can chose to have a larger capacity this is the only thing holding this phone back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vicie:
yes, em 2, and maybe the price, but yeah, we still don't know it ;D
[Windows Phone 7 General] martoto:
The Omnia 7 won't have upgradeable memory. And the 8GB version is available for preorder for £500 in UK. They simply lost their minds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ please tell me you're joking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheBexFr:
I really fear that martoto isn't joking.

And the website http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/ doesn't say anything about MicroSD...:eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paolo01:
Omnia 7 appears to be upgradeable according to these UK specs.

http://www.reghardware.com/2010/10/12/windows_mobile_7_what_and_where/
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheBexFr:
According to engadget the omnia 7 doesn't have microSD slot : http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/windows-phone-7-handsets-the-tale-of-the-tape/
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
From what I have read and its been a lot, I think there is no SD card slot but there is more than likly 2 versions one 8gb and one 16gb
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
It's really easy for these companies to ship versions with varrying amounts of memory. The software stays the same and the hardware stays the same except a higher density flash chip.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
The first link says 8GB internal with an MicroSD for expansion. Egadget says 8GB internal and they do niether confirm nor deny the MicroSD.

The question is, will it be possible to add a SD card afterwards? It shouldn't be any problem, as long as the filesystem supports it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] martoto:
I don't know about specs sheets accurancy from quoted sources, but I prefer to believe on my eyes. Simply, I can't see any memory extension slot:

http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php3?sImg=reviewsimg/samsung-i8700-omnia-7/phone/gsmarena_026.jpg

And here is the preorder price from clove, a nice number of £500:

http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-omnia-7-gt-i8700

I can live with 8GB + Microsoft's cloud service, however this price is a great dissapointment IMHO. It does not correspond to the actuall hardware and software for that device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] powersquad:
look at the far right of the sim card slot just above the battery pins...there is another slot...looks like it might be micro sd...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
It's a pictogram for the SIM card. There's no slot there.

Also, the placement of the camera sensor alone shows that it's a different board from the Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I have just talked to tmobile who have the omnia 7 up for pre order and they only know of the 8gb version. It is also about £200 more expensive when compared to the same deal orange have for the mozart. I'm not being funny here am i in thinking is .32 and samoled screen worth £200 more?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dividebyzeroZA:
Size Confusion

Hi,

I notice that Samsung's site shows the Omnia 7 as coming in both 8Gb and 16Gb capacities. Go to omnia7.samsungmobile.com and click on Specifications link at the bottom of the page. To add confusion though, the Press Kit downloadable from the Media section shows 8Gb only.

In the UK I'm currently on O2 and would like to stay on that network purely because I get to skip queues at O2 venues for gigs. It certainly came in handy at Ozzfest. microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/buy/7/phones.aspx#filter=40 shows that O2 are going to offer the Omnia 7 too - does anybody know if this is correct? I know O2 are beefing up the HD7 in Europe to the 16Gb model so perhaps they're doing the same with the Omnia 7?

It surprises me that T-Mobile are 8Gb-only since the Omnia 7 is Europe-only. Does anyone know if anyone else has confirmed the 16Gb version?

Off-topic: Does anyone know if Orange are selling the phone SIM-free and the cost? £500 from Clover seems rather expensive o_0

I'm going to head to a few stores tonight on the way home and if I find out anything I'll post back.
[Droid X General] fmadrigal:
My brother in law recently switched over to SPRINT and gave me his pretty new DX. I can't activate the phone until next week (because he made the mistake of porting the phone number BEFORE he gave me the phone) so according to VZW i have to wait until that process is completed and the billing cycle is finished before I can use the phone. (I don't think he plans on paying them :( )

My question is...can I root the DX before I actually get it linked to my VZW phone number? (like remove google apps and just use the phones capabilities like camera etc. without having to call and activate it) I'm coming from HTC Droid eris ;) so I don't know much about rooting the DX yet.

Can someone help me please. :confused:
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
I believe you can, I think theirs a way to bypass the activation screen. You might be able to find it on the forums or if not just Google it I'm sure you can find it.
[Droid X General] RANDYRKELLY:
Yes you can root it without being on a network. all you need to do is go back out of this thread and read the first sticky and go to the wiki. I would post link but since this is my first actual post i cant

And after your phone reboots you can get passed the little android man by touching each corner in a circular motion.
[Droid X General] amathophobia:
I hope for your sake that your brother in law pays Verizon. If he doesn't in they most likely blacklist the phones esn.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
But keep in mind if the phone doesn't have OTA 2.2 you might want to keep all apps because the update might fail because missing files.
[Droid X General] AnomynousPierson:
You don't even need to do the 4 corner trick.

Touch the android, hit next until you have the options of "create google login, sign in, or skip" and just choose skip. That easy.

That's assuming he's at the "touch to begin screen" which he probably isn't being that he's the second owner.

...but yeah, check the sticky and root away. :)
[Droid X General] fmadrigal:
Thanks for the information guys. Yeah I really hope that they allow him to give me his phone. I kept verifying with the rep that it would be okay to transfer the phone, he said it should be okay since it's HIS property. But i never know with those guys...

I don't plan on removing any apps at all I just want get the root access and ready so when I do hook it up, it'll be ready to go.

I'm excited to see what you guys have in store for this phone...especially coming from the Eris.
[Droid X General] blubyu87gt:
Just connect with wifi and use as normal. That easy. You can even setup a google account and use market and have all the sweet and chewies of using the X less the ability of calls and texts.

As stated above, if he doesn't pay the bill VzDubya will (normally) put the phone on the do not activate list. Again though this wont effect use while connected to wifi.
[Droid X General] fmadrigal:
Will I have to set the phone to USB debugging mode if I try and root?

If so, I dont think I'll be able to root since I can't even get passed the "Activation Screen"

Also, how can I check to see what android version he is on (2.1 or 2.2) How do I look at the bootloader info...can I do that w/o Root? Is that dangerous? I don't want to brick the phone...

sorry for all the questions guys appreciate your patience.
[Droid X General] fmadrigal:
Anyone? :(
[Droid X General] mrgloom:
Press menu then setting scroll to the bottom of the list to about phone click it and your info will be there. Just a thought if you don't know how to find something that simple are you sure you want to be playing with root.
[Droid X General] fmadrigal:
Actually if you read the first post. The phone is not activated yet, so I don't have the option to "menu>settings".

And Yes, I rooted my Eris. Thanks.
[Touch2 General] s_carmel:
i wonder if its possible to change the color of the line where the start menu button is and the notifications line
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanf:
Hey all,

Got a quick question about the charge level on my Desire after upgrading to Froyo. Basically before I used to put it on charge when I went to bed at say 11pm, and it would charge steadily to 100% and stay there until I took it off charge the next morning.

Now, since using unrEVOked and putting stock Froyo on, my battery will charge to 100%, then drop to around 89% and recharge again. It does this once every 3-4 hours it seems. I've done the whole charge til green, unplug, charge til green, power cycle and charge til green procedure and also wiped the battery stats in Clockwork.

At first I thought we'd had a couple of power cuts during the night, but it's every night and JuicePlotter shows an AC charge present all night.

Can anyone suggest what might be going on here?

JuicePlotter grab is attached to illustrate the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Nathan.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
This is normal behaviour.

The phone has a safety feature that wont charge the battery when its full.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanf:
Ah, ok tahnks for that. Is this a feature of Froyo as it never used to do it on 2.1?

Sods law that it seems to just drop to 90% or so about 30mins before I am due to get up, then takes another hour or so to get back to 100% :D Maybe I need to sleep longer...or less :eek:

Nathan.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you charge you device while off, it dosent follow the same 100% -> 90% -> 100% cycle, it will charge and stay charged

So, after watching the Zagg youtube video on how easily the the

Captivate's screen scratches. I decided I once again needed a screen protector; so I did a search on amazon and found xtreme guards. For $2 your can get a screen protector (which is what I did) for $5 you can get a full body protector, so my screen protector came in today, and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the quality; it's easily the best screen protector in terms of material I've ever had (and I've had tons of em).the best way to describe it is like the window decals you put on your house for holidays only thinner.when installing you of course get a hard plastic installation card, and when working out the bubbles and install solution I was surprised to find the protector it's self not scratching! like so many other countless protector I've installed in the past. The instructions said it takes about 2 days for any hazeyness or bubbles from the install to go away and there's a little of both still left. The bubbles are no big deal as I expected them because I SUCK at putting these things on. However I would like the hazeyness to go away but only time will tell. Bottom line for the price these things are amazing! And if your insecure about scratches like me then you need one of these. I give it my kick ass product stamp of approval!

[Fascinate Accessories] lucious584:
Zagg is also pretty impressive. Although it is quite a bit more money you easily get what its worth. Zagg also makes me condoms xD jk
[Fascinate Accessories] ballaholyk84:
The biggest and main reason for me only buying ZAGG products is because of the lifetime warranty they come with. To me its a no brained for a protector. If I mess it up they send me a new one free of charge. If the corner peels or it gets caught on something they send me a new one. Greatest protector in my opinion.
[Fascinate Accessories] PorscheGuy:
I had the full ZAGG on my Evo and loved it! Does anyone know if they make a full one for the Fascinate WITH the extended battery and door? I couldn't find anything about it on their site but wondered since it's an OEM accessory?
[Fascinate Accessories] kamakazman:
Yea my only problem with zagg is paying $14-$24 for a thin piece of plastic that I can never apply perfectly anyways.

Sent from my crippled with Bing, Galaxy S phone.
[Fascinate Accessories] MetamorphiK:
With my Droid X I went with a Steinheil Ultra Crystal and it was really great because it covered the whole display and was perfectly clear, very transparent user experience.

Since then I traded the X in for the Fascinate and unfortunately Steinheil hasn't released the same protector for the Fascinate yet. So for now I went with Zagg shield because the Verizon branded protectors are horrid (don't cover whole display, nasty texture, and dull the gorgeous display).

I'm not too impressed with the Zagg, but it covers the whole front and is relatively responsive and clear.

My biggest gripe is the orange peel effect as well as little lines of distortion (almost looks like application solution that didn't dry or something, like a water / oil on screen effect).

It also takes 24hrs to "properly apply" so that may be a downside because they tell you to turn the device off until dry.

Also the material has a habit of retaining any indentation from fingernails and such, almost like a rubber memory type plastic.

Perhaps some of my issues are to do with poor application of the protector so personal experience may vary. Some people were saying it takes 2 weeks of heavy use to fully cure. These are nit picky gripes of flaws I see in Zagg compared to the Steinheil. I believe Zagg to be a more professional military grade protector, but the steinheil seems to offer a better viewing experience.

I would recommend going with something temporarily and then switching it out for the Steinheil once they are available, my preference of course.
