[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hexabit:
The PIT data structures can easily be transformed into C data-structures. Attached are 512/513/803 PIT files as C source. Also included are the commands needed to create them.

It seems that the first partition entry contains noise as if the structure was not properly zeroed before being populated.

The second partition contains the PIT file itself, making the flash as a whole self-describing.

It is worthwhile to note that the number of partition entries is configurable, and given the amount of free space available it would seem relative easy to have a dual/multi boot system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
looks like the magic flag 0x02 is tellin the bml stuff how to setup the partition to stl. When i look at the bootloader ouput i can see that every partition with that flag is RW while the one without are RO.

Hi there,

Sorry for butting in on your conversation, but I need an experts help, and my (very serious) problem seems to be partition related.

I upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3, didn't like it and flashed back again, ever since then I have a constant barrage of force closes from gapps to email to just about every other application on the phone.

I have flashed back to 2.3 to no avail and have tried every .pit and just about every firmware available. same problems.

Now the interesting part is that after a factory reset and a reformat AND wiping all cache ect, when I boot my new firmware all my account info is still there (yes after doing a reformat), I even delete them manually, then when I reflash a new ROM, all those setting are back.

I am no techspert, the only thing I can think of is that something like (now bare with me) when you install windows over windows on a pc, you are left with a hidden partition underneith (I so hope you know what I am talking about).

So its a partition issue and you guys are the experts by the sounds of things...

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 7qim:
uzziah0, you have wrong byte order for numbers.

Add leading zeros and swap the bytes.

For example, for SYSTEM it should look like:

02000000	17000000	05000000	05000000	00C80500	00684D00	SYSTEM	system.img.ext4 // leading zeros added

00000002	00000017	00000005	00000005	0005C800	004D6800	SYSTEM	system.img.ext4 // bytes swapped

Then use header:

<Flags1>	<Partition No.>	<Flags2>	<Flags3>	<Partition Start Offset>	<Partition Length>	<Partition Label>	<Image File Name>

Offset and Length in 512-byte blocks. So, f.e. size of SYSTEM partition is 2,597,322,752 bytes (2,477 MiB or ~2.42 GiB).

Also the last line of your table has missing zero value (Length of USERDATA). In this case 0 means "to the end" or "whole remaining space".

[G2 and Desire Z General] BRodz:
On monday I got my G2 to replace my Samsung Vibrant (due to the Vibrant's GPS issues). I love the G2, but one thing is completely ruining the experience for me. At least two to three times a day my phone is rebooting on me or it will completely freeze where I have to pull the battery. It seems like my problem is kind of common. I was curious is anyone has found any way to fix the random reboots without actually getting a new handset? I just factory reset my phone hoping that it will be a little better and I will update this thread if it gets better. Is there anything else I can try?

One other thing I noticed is that when it randomly reboots it is only a soft reset and doesn't truly reboot. Sometimes after the soft reboot it will hide certain applications like they are not installed until I do a full power cycle reset. Once Angry Birds disappeared until I did a full power cycle and another time it acted like my dialer was deleted off of the phone and I couldn't even make calls until I power cycled. Every time after I power cycle everything shows up so it looks like the media scanning doesn't fully run or something?
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
I noticed it only does this to me when I have no service...
[G2 and Desire Z General] BRodz:
Well unfortunately I have no service at work. Also, on my way to work I have a small dead zone. It is just very annoying because it happens 2-3 times a day.
[G2 and Desire Z General] robinsmy1:
I have the same problem with signal loss (although my phone does not reboot, I just have to reboot to get signal back), only at home and on the way to work. I put my phone on 2G only at home (since signal sucks, not giving anything up) and on the ride (again, not using the phone for data so not giving anything up) and I don't have the signal loss problem at all.

Have you tried 2G only?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mdayjr:
Throw your phone into 2 g. This should fix alot of reboot problems and signal drops. It fixed mine. I had the exact same problem after 27 hrs. Take it outta 2g if you know you'll be in a high speed network.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BRodz:
I'll try 2g over the weekend and see how it is. Thanks for the suggestion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AndroidNoober:
I heard to turn off the backup data and that gonna stop the reboot, I did it, and no more reboot for my g2
[G2 and Desire Z General] magnafides:
I sent both of my G2s back because of this issue. IMO "switch to 2G" is not really an acceptable fix... hopefully HTC issues an OTA for this soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
Though I do not have this problem myself... Two things I have seen people try that helped:

Make sure you are using a new SIM card, and try a better quality Micro SD card than what comes with the G2. You never know...

Hope it helps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] BRodz:
Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions. I seemed to have fixed my reboot problems by turning off the application backup feature. I am still using 3g data so far with no reboots or freezes in the past 24 hours. I have driven though my bad signal area that usually causes my issues at least 4 times so I am pretty sure it is fixed. If anyone else has turned off 3g data try turning it back on, but turn off application backup and let us know how it works for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
I've been running the 8/1 leaked 2.2 for a long time, but thought I would give the most recent, 10/13 leak a try. It runs very nicely, however, there is one big (to me) difference, and I was hoping that someone might be able to help me "fix" this.

The 8/1 leak moved apps over to the internal emmc storage, when going into applications and hitting "Move to SD". This was great for me... I've got an 8 gig card, but its mostly full, yet I don't really use the emmc internal storage for much. This also applied if I used Titanium to force-move apps.

Now with the 10/13 leak, apps actually go to my alread-overcrowded SD card. Even if I use Titanium. Is there a way to change this? Maybe a build.prop change or some command that can be run in adb?

Sorry if this is the wrong section but I figured if anyone would know how to fix it a den would.

Look in the market for move2sd Enabler. Also, this belongs in general
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
Thanks for the info and yeah I wasn't sure but if mods want to move it that's fine by me, I'll check that app out.

Edit: move2sd enabler didn't work. It's just a GUI for running the setInstallLocation command from adb, basically let's you force any app you install to the SD card. But not to emmc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
*bump* anyone? Must be a way to change this .....

Hello all - I've been putting together a collection of simple flashable fontpacks. Originally, they only worked on the EVO 4G, but I've updated and signed them all so at this point, they should work on any android phone - if you can flash a zip through recovery, you should be able to flash these. I'm updating pretty regularly, and I'm up to over 250 fonts right now. Check the link in my sig to get to my thread in the EVO section.

[Android Themes] Tsip85:
This is great. I really love some of these fonts, as I'm always looking to change something. One question. Is it possible to load up multiple fonts somewhere on my phone, then change them whenver I want? Or do I have to download a single zip file, copy to sd, reboot to recovery, flash zip, and reboot just to see if I like the look?

I might like one font, then want to change it 20 minutes later. Just trying to figure out the quickest way to switch.

Thanks again for posting these!!!
[Android Themes] fachadick:
A reboot is always required when changing fonts - you cant just change them on the fly. Even with the various font changing apps out there, I've found that these packs are the quickest and easiest to use - grab say the 5 fonts you like best, and just flash the one you want to use.

Your contract date and your upgrade date are independent of each other. Renewing your contract doesn't change your upgrade date, so you will still get your upgrade a year from your last upgrade.
