[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sp991:
I have a good news and a bad none. The good news is that I'm pretty sure the problem was not froyo and the bad one is the reliability of the internal storage on this phone.

First of all, Bell called me earlier this week cause my phone came back from service and I went to the shop to take it back. Then, I was so surprise to ear that they send me a new one. Se here is my conclusion :

As it was still possible to enter download mode and see the phone detected by Odin but it was impossible to flash any firmware on it, I'm pretty sure my internal storage was completly dead. That would explain why Samsung was unable to reflash my phone and send it back to me. Then they just send me a brand new one. More than that the phone was sim unlock, rooted and flashed with another firmware than the original one so they would have never service it under warranty if they would have been able to see that.

I was even more surprise cause I've replaced my screen after it got cracked because I drop it from 6 feet height on concrete and apparently the didn't notice.

So this is the good news but it could be seen as a bad news if you think froyo cause this malfunction of my internal storage. One thing is sure the internal storage of a phone shouldn't be so fragile. I've had an HTC Touch Diamond before and I change the firmware version at least 20 times and I never had a problem with this phone. Same thing for my girlfriend and her HTC dream.

More and more I'm thinking about the HTC desire Z or HTC Desire to replace this one as Samsung seems to have some problems with firmware and hardware integration.
[Streak 5 Android Development] doubleburgerbarr:
Using Stephens 2.2 I was able to install apps from the market place.

I then did a couple of things, 1 was to install Universal Androot, the other was to configure my APN settings.

After that I'm unable to install anything from the Market (just paid for 2 apps as well).

Tried a few things, (clear cache, airplane mode etc) but nothing tried so far works, I suspect it could be wrong APN settings, can anyone post their O2 apn settings so I can double check?.

Can anyone suggest anything else to try (i did see a post saying to uninstall market updates from options, but can't find that app (the instructions were a bit vague so I could be missing something).

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] lufc:
There is a problem with the market either very slow at downloading or it wont download you just have to be patient and keep trying :)

You mean I've just factory reset my phone for nothing !!!!!!

Fill in adequate expletives here :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] doubleburgerbarr:
I'm not sure quite how but I seem to have sorted it out, earlier it wouldn't download

using APN settings I found elsewhere, these were as follows (trying to help others),

----------------------------------------------------------

Name: O2 Internet

APN: mobile.o2.co.uk

username: vertigo

password: password

MCC:234

MNC 10

APN type: default (actually type in default, don't leave it blank)

All others remain as "not set".

2nd access point

MMS port: 8080

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

APN type: mms

---------------------

Neither the phone's own connection or my home wifi connection would work, did a factory re-set, no APN's configured, setup wireless and downloaded three or four apps from market no problems.

Did a bit more configuring on the phone and then needed some more apps only this time they wouldn't download, same issue as before. No APN's configured yet.

Tried all sorts of the recommended fixes but no success.

Stopped wifi configured this APN :-

------------------------------------------------

Name o2

APN mobile.o2.co.uk

Username mobileweb

Password password

------------------------------------------------

I dont think I rebooted, but after enabling the connection and giving it a couple of minutes to settle, then trying a web page I went back to market and apps have downloaded since (5 apps).

Sometimes I get a "Network Error" when starting and have to close market and try again but so far have managed to install 5 apps.

So, wifi connection sometimes works, which got me wondering :-

I read somewhere that Market uses different ports, is there a list of ports (will search after this) and do they sometimes switch ports, eg if there's a number of connections on one port do they switch to another (and this one is blocked by my firewall).

Do they blacklist certain IP's during busy times, eg server is really busy and I've downloaded apps for 20 minutes (really slow connection at home) so they block my IP ?.

In other words, is this deliberate in order to share overloaded bandwidth fairly ? rather than a problem with phones/settings themselves.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixtninecat:
I cannot seem to wrap my Rookie Noob head around this project and am reaching out for help. I am Tring to port the alarm clock app from the Moto Cliq to work on my wife's Espresso. I have a good rip of the Cliq ROM off of her old phone. The espresso is rooted and Running CR's OTA and I am confortable with ADB. I attempted to simply drop the apk and odex into the system/app folder and it created a boot loop. I am now at a loss. I know its frivolous but she wants the Cliq app better. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
If I remember correctly, apps designed by Motorola for the CLIQ depend on the MotoBlur "system files" to be installed as well. It would be the same thing if your wife wanted the HTC Sense alarm clock app. The apk files can't just be installed and run. Another obstacle for you (possibly) is that your CLIQ app was likely compiled for Android 1.6, where your Espresso is running 2.1. Disregard this if you pulled the app from a newly updated 2.1 CLIQ.

I wanted to import the "Happenings" widget onto mine (I'm running CM 6.1 atm but would gladly go back to 2.1 to get that widget), and I wanted to ask around before I did it.

Is there a way (or a Rom) that has Motoblur stuff for MTS?

Anyone knows where I can find a coaxial cable for the wifi for the HD2?

It's not only nicotine u use, is it. Wat the hell do you mean :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidMc0:
If you're thinking of hooking up an external antenna to your HD2, as far as I know you'd have to open up the HD2 and wire on a coax port to the right part of the board, and I've got no idea how to get that working!

If you do manage to do this, let us know how!

Sorry if I've misunderstood your rather strange question!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewdin:
Did you lose it when disassembling your HD2 or something?

I believe it's just a standard coax cable with u.fl connectors, the problem would be finding one with correct length. eBay has plenty, but they're anywhere from 20 to 50cm - don't really want to try fitting that in a phone...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tristan_1:
you can find them at mouser com

i need also one and did some search work

you need i W.FL-2LP-04N2-A-(60) u.fl is a lit bigger.

2lp means two sides connector 04n ticknes 0.83mm, 2 color, (60= lenght)mm.

see also data sheet in table on the side. looks, they sel also just one.

i not alowed to place the link. becourse i am new here.

onlly did not fnd out or the have also female connectors :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZzznicotinezzZ:
Yup! Correct! :p

Thank you all for your replies. I did find one on ebay, from a broken one.

I hope he will sent me the right one. If not I'll try ur suggestion Tristan_1. Thx :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datas0ft:
I was on same situatio with wifi cable. Searched over net and nothing. Looked to here recommended shop too. Price for shpping to europe is 10 times bigger than cable itself.

But i finded on ebay cables to Touch Daimond. On pics they looks same like on hd2. I asked here on touch forum lengts for both cables. They are SAME with hd2 cables. Only difference is that hd2 uses for gps white one' touch black. I opened more 10 hd2 (all from europe). Abot t-mobile i cant say anything.

On ebay i finded many sellers with possible search string: OEM AERIAL ANTENNA WIRE RECEPTION FOR HTC TOUCH DIAMOND

Usually after two week i can finally confirm are these touch diamond cables right ones for hd2 too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahanssen:
Tristan, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I have been scouring the internet looking for this part and had no idea what to look for so thank you so much for your post. I purchased that part and hopefully I can report back that my phone works again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tristan_1:
.d2onderdelen .nl

i find out, that they have them also. and they sel them in pares. also other part of the hd2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datas0ft:
Finally i can CONFIRM that YES wifi/bluetooth antenna coaxial cable is same what used on HTC HD2 (can confirm only EU model). About T-Mobile i cant say.

But GPS cable wich one sell with wifi/bluetooth cable dont fit. Its littlebit longer but short for using on GPS.

This one wich i bought dont had so quality on connectors side (not for many many times connect/disconnect) like original. Yes it was cheap too. But i tested work and signal and there was no loss.

Hope helped now many users who cant find replacment for wifi / bluetooth coaxial cable.

Just try on ebay string OEM AERIAL ANTENNA WIRE RECEPTION FOR HTC TOUCH DIAMOND or just try find spare parts for Touch Diamond. I itself used seller named gsm4world.

Next time use Thanks button ;)

Anyway, this info was FREE :D

Thanks but hard to explore site if its only on one lang and you dont know it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tristan_1:
It true that it is a bit hard to read dutch, but easy to find the right phone, and were you have to look for (onderdelen) that are the inner part of the phone

I find out that the coaxial cable are out of the store on the moment. i can not find them Anny more.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbirt:
TRY HERE

For Coaxial try also parts4repair.com and search for bluetooth antenna and not for wifi (which are the same anyway).

For me the solution of using coaxial from Diamond did'nt work.

Hope this will...

Cheers:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossb2525:
Sorry for starting a new thread but I didn't get a reply in the Cyanogen one. I recently bought an Android Dev Phone 1 from eBay (thought it was a T-Mobile G1) and I want to flash Cyanogenmod 6 ROM. After doing some research I've read that the ADP1 phone is different from the T-Mobile G1 phone in that the ADP1 is SIM-unlocked and hardware unlocked. I want to know if I could I follow the flashing instructions for the the T-mobile G1 or do I need to follow a different set of instructions to keep from bricking the phone? Thanks for anybody's help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhatP:
I believe they are the exact same phone with the exception of what you said. So long as your board is the same. When in fastboot, boot holding camera button, what does the first line say? Mine is DREAM PVT 32B, that's the board required to follow the tmo procedures.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhatP:
Another thought, if you're worried about bricking you could flash a custom recovery, amon ra, clockworkmod, and make a nandroid backup

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _Rayearth:
I've been trying to customize for myself an already customized ROM in ZIP container. I deleted some files from folders:

\data\app

\system\app

\system\media\audio\ringtones

and then the corresponding to them lines in META-INF\CERT.SF and META-INF\MANIFEST.MF files. I figured out that this could work, but the installation in Clockwork Recovery was aborted at some point with error:

E:Can't chown/mod /data/app

(No such file or directory)

set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

Installation aborted

Could some1 advise me what can I do to make this work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franklin01:
Maybe you should sign the edited file. (search for sign apk or sign update.zip there is a script that does it on the forum)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkyy:
You don't need to edit those .SF & .MF files.

You need to edit the "update-script" OR "updater-script".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _Rayearth:
You mean signing the whole ZIP file which contains the customized ROM?

I found a way to sign apk files but I only deleted some apps and ringtones so what else besides ROM file have to be signed?

And do what in the update-script? :)

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DJ ELITE:
initially i had to download it from the market to even have access to visual voicemail cuz it wasn't already on my phone by default.

in the market, look under the t-mobile tab at the very bottom. there's 2 other T-mo apps avail. caller tunes & something else.

and after the update i was able to activate Visual Voicemail from within the drawer.

and just as an FYI, here's how Visual Voicemail looks

after

the UPDATE:
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] eioous:
That sure looks nice. Wish I could update mine. I went and looke in T-mobile tab and all I saw was caller tunes, ringtones, and my account.

Newest VVM

Attached.

If it returns "unauthorized" errors, make sure the Visual Voicemail provisioning is on your line (it's free). Seems to be working fine on my 3rd G2, though it lost one of my 2 previous saved messages from before I returned the 2nd one earlier today. Though the update says it will delete all old messages, so keeping one of the two is a bonus I guess :p
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] f4phantomii:
I wondered what happened to the VVM app too. Couldn't find it on the Market.

Finally just gave up and signed up for Google Voice on my G2 and have been getting my voicemails that way along with the transcripts.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
I dumped the boot.img using:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/cat-boot.img

and

dump_image boot /sdcard/dump-boot.img

Using dump_image it says:

mtd: read all-zero block at 0x00240000; skipping
mtd: read all-zero block at 0x002a0000; skipping
mtd: read all-zero block at 0x002c0000; skipping

And the sizes differ:

cat-boot.img: 4096K

dump-boot.img: 3712K

Then I ran unpackbootimg to unpack them. Neither worked, invalid gz files. So I took a look at the image files and instead of 2K header, it had a 4K header that had an extra 2K of 0's. Any idea why that might be?

I deleted the extra 2K of 0's and ran unpackbootimg again, both boot images provided identical gz's that worked.

I am able to test the gz's and extract the cpio, but how can I check if the kernel is good?

Since it seems to be malformed, it might have different spacing or something?

If I try to boot off of it using fastboot it just gives an error:

C:\android-sdk\tools>fastboot boot pulled\extracted\dump-boot.img-zImage

creating boot image...
creating boot image - 2263040 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 2.687s]
booting... FAILED (remote: invalid boot image)
finished. total time: 2.687s

Could someone with some experience take a look and help? I'm doing my best :D

The attached file has the extra 2K of 0's in the header I mentioned already removed.

Edit: I did the dump while the phone was booted up normally. It doesn't have any recovery mode where I could otherwise do it. If I use "adb reboot recovery" it just formats the phone and reboots.

Edit 2:

After doing a bunch of searching I tried this:

fastboot -b 400000 -n 4096 boot pulled\extracted\dump-boot.img-zImage pulled\extracted\dump-b
oot.img-ramdisk.gz

And it worked!!

Now I can try to port Clockwork Recovery :D

Edit 3: removed attachment, extracted version is attached to next post.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
I attached the extracted kernel and ram disk here so anyone can use them without having to bother taking them apart themselves.

To fix a broken boot image, get the Andriod SDK installed, plug in the phone, reboot holding both green and red buttons to get to fastboot screen. Then use fastboot.exe to load image. Try to boot off it before flashing it. In order to flash it the "flash:raw boot" fastboot option will need to be used. I haven't tried this, but I've booted off of my extracted version and that worked.

The base address is "400000" and the page size is "4096" those need to be specified in the fastboot options.

Also just for reference, the extracted file "boot.img-cmdline" had this in it:

Not sure where or when that's needed yet, not for flashing, but maybe for compiling.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
That extra 2k of 0s in the header is the kyocera logo (or the instruction that points to the actual image).
