Hello,

Sorry to hear that...

Are you sure that you didn't install/change anything else besides the ActionScreen since the previous reset? I can't imagine anything that could cause such error. ActionScreen does not modify any system files / settings. :eek:

Please try to remove your Storage Card (if you have one) and restart your phone again. If this fails and the system will not be bootable anymore I'm afraid that you will have to Hard Reset.

The HardReset procedure restores your last-flashed ROM. Not the original one from beforehand. So if you installed the european one as the last one - HardReset will restore it. Only it'll also clear your settings/contact :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lakov:
Hi. First of all - Thank you for the rapid response.

I had to Flash it. That`s OK - IT IS IN ENGLISH!

Too bad I lost my DATA. I will survive.

YL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Even the Hard Reset didn't help? In that case it must have been a bad flash. The ActionScreen adds only several files to disk and a couple of reg entries in the Software section. It shouldn't mess up anything in the system.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChrisvS:
a realy good job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Thank you Sir :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boz1:
Hi I'm new to this forum. I have an Omni i910. Will this work on an Omni i910? Will the high memory usage be a problem? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
It should work on any device with WVGA display (800 x 480), but as far as I know Omnia i910 has only 400 x 240 px, so the app will be messed up because the autosize is switched off for the main form of the app.

I don't recommend using it on i910.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boz1:
Okay. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acemax:
is it possible to put in landscape, turning the screen on the right, not left?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Not at the current version. But I can make a switch in registry so that the user will be able to customize also the Landscape angle. It will be done in the next release.

BTW Anybody interesting in helping me with the graphics?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acemax:
thanks for the quick response!!!1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kozhai:
Which one should i download？
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Well, the program is basically the same. The main difference is that v0.1 doesn't stay in memory (which makes the app start slower but is more memory-friently). The v0.3 stays in memory for all the time (about 1300 kB) but shows up much quicker than 0.1.

And the cab is only a matter of how do you like to trigger the action screen. By left softkey, power button or both.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
I present a brand new ActionScreen v0.5.

You will find all the details in ChangeLog in post #2.

Enjoy and/or report any issues/bugs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Nobody has issues? Hah! I found some myself.

Expect an update soon.

Furthermore there will also be a VGA version thanks to my personal VGA tester :D (I don't have a VGA device) - xOverkill.

Thanks a lot Man!

ETA: tomorrow evening, maybe sooner.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Hello. Later than I expected... I present ActionScreen v0.6 with VGA version and some other small bugfixes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Hello

Post #2 has been updated. I added a set of blue "pressed" icons instead of the green ones. All credits go to MrRusch. I found the icons in his thread here and he was so kind to agree to use them here.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] kazoni:
Hi all!

I've done a lot of searching on this topic between here, PPC, Google, and haven't found any definitive answers, so I'm going this route and asking.

I have a CDMA Touch Diamond (DIAM500) on a small regional carrier (Nex-tech Wireless - Google it as I can't post links), that also roams on the Sprint network. I'm wanting to backup the ROM before I flash to something else. With using a small carrier, I'm not confident that a Sprint rom would work, thus wanting to extract what my phone currently uses.

My goal is to end up with a file that I can flash back to. I've already flashed to the HSPL .57 with no problems. I've found a set for the Nex-tech Touch Pro, but I doubt it's fully compatible.

I've also seen the directions here (thread 334680 on these forums) and have extracted the files, but I'm not too sure what to do next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Touch Diamond CDMA] m13a8:
I'm on the same carrier as kazoni and would also be interested in an answer to this...
[Touch Diamond CDMA] thesteve42:
you can use the itsme tools to extract the rom bin files.

than U will need a similar base rom to build it back.

extract your base rom.

U will not need a full kitchen as some have sugested.

U will need to identify the xip.bin and imgfs.bin from the device.

use xipport to implant your xip into os.nb.payload

use imgfstonb to implant your imgfs to os.nb.payload.

nbmerge os.nb.payload with os.nb.extra to make os.nb

use an nbh tool to create RUU_signed.nbh from your os.nb and your set.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] m13a8:
Ok, I think i'm on the right track...
[Desire Themes and Apps] albert_htc:
Hi

I've got a Desire 2.2 and an x10 which has just updated to 2.1

I like the lock screen on the new x10 2.1

Anyone know if there is one like that available for the desire ?

Basically a lock screen showing my wallpaper, date & time (large) and have a slider at the bottom.

Slide left to right to unlock

Slide right to left to adjust the ringing volume.

When a call comes in and the phone is locked, you see who is calling and sliding left-> right answers, right -> left drops the call.

Anything like this for the desire... ideally free ;)

Thanks :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] noobandroid:
search around this forum, you will find some roms using it, like OD, or maybe widgetlock clockscreen
[Desire Themes and Apps] dmcconachie:
Are there any ROMs which allow a screensaver with, eg, a faint clock, such as that on many Nokias? I really miss this since jumping from symbian!
[Desire Themes and Apps] deepakoffline:
hmmm this aint symbian dude.... :)

and thats a good thing. why sacrifice battery life for just a clock??
[Desire Themes and Apps] dmcconachie:
:) Oh I know, there very good reasons I jumped ship! This is a about the only feature I miss!

And the advantage of the screensaver, which doesn't have to be a battery drainer at all, is a customizable notification bar. A plain old LED doesn't really cut it!
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
For the X10 style lock, try LockBot. Has an excelent clone and works very well :)

LockBot Free is what I need :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruster:
My girlfriend has owned her Hero since last November and in the amount of time she has had it, it seems to have changed colors. When she purchased it, it was a grey/pewter color, overtime it has become brown... Has anyone else had this happen? Does Sprint replace phones for cosmetic issues, such as these? Did anyone figure out how to clean it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Here are two reasons it could be turning brown:

1. It's collecting dirt. Wipe it off with a slightly damp wipe?

2. The phone is becoming wayyyyy too hot, and is starting to discolor the plastic due to the heat.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
Is your GF a chain smoker by any chance?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdhscanes24:
if it has any sort of goldish/greenish haze in it the either she is smoking, or someone she is around very often is smoking.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
After working at a service center for a few years I can tell you that they won't swap it for cosmetics unless it messes up the functionality which it doesn't sound like it is
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
To clean, try a magic eraser. They clean just about any textured surface.

[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Background: I unlocked my Tab first by hex editing my nv_data.bin file. It was perfect, my IMEI and device serial number were unharmed. Then I got my official unlock code from Tmobile. So I reverted to my original nv_data.bin, placed an AT&T SIM into the Tab and it rebooted, I entered the code, unlocked the Tab, then compared the original file to the newly unlocked file. Very minor changes. I wrote a program to do the modification and the resulting nv_data.bin file worked fine.

To clarify, I have a T-Mobile Tab and you must have rooted in order to do this.

I also have an AT&T tab and the same procedure works.

It also works on any GSM model.

Heres the edit points for those of you comfy with a hex editor:

0x181469 change this one byte from 01 to 00
0x18150e change this one byte to 00 if its not already

If you're going to do this, please back up your /efs folder! Do it twice even :) Save your backups for at least 11.5 years.

I just edit a copy of the nv_data.bin, then delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 in the phones /efs folder using Root Explorer, then copy my modified file back to the folder, then reboot. The nv_data.bin.md5 will be automatically regenerated for you.

I've even edited a copy of the file right on my Tab using the Hexeditor in the Market.

FYI, you can not swap nv_data.bin files from one phone to another, you get the bogus IMEI number as the file doesn't match the hardware IMEI number.

UPDATE: New easier way that doesn't involve learning how to hex edit :)

This requires you to be rooted and have busybox installed, which you should have but you can grab busybox installer from the market if not.

Backup the contents of the /efs folder on the phone first!!! Save your backups for at least 11.5 years.

From your computer, open an adb shell to your phone with the command:

adb shell

Then paste all the following commands into the shell window at once, in other words, one big cut n paste:

su
cd /sdcard
echo "this takes about 45 seconds"
if [ ! -f /sdcard/nv_data.bin.orig ]; then
echo "copying file to /sdcard"
cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard/nv_data.bin.orig
fi
echo -en \\x00 > out0
dd if=nv_data.bin.orig of=out1 bs=1 count=1578089
dd if=nv_data.bin.orig of=out2 bs=1 skip=1578090 count=163
dd if=nv_data.bin.orig of=out3 bs=1 skip=1578254
cat out1 out0 out2 out0 out3 > nv_data.bin.unlocked
rm out0 out1 out2 out3
rm /efs/nv_data.bin
cp nv_data.bin.unlocked /efs/nv_data.bin
rm /efs/nv_data.bin.md5
reboot

.

Wait 45 seconds for the whole process to complete.

Thats It! your phone will reboot and its carrier unlocked!

If you can't get internet access with your new SIM its because you haven't set the APN for this carrier. For the settings you need, Google "APN setting your_carriers_name_here" and put those settings in

Settings->Wireless->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and then select it. Done!
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
A little off topic here, in reference to your official unlock process....

did you have to put in AT&T's network settings before you entered your unlock code? I'm only asking because tech support had no solution for why my unlock codes doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
No, Its not related. Your code is compared to the data stored on the phone for a match. Nothing more. I really think they screwed up an IMEI digit when requesting your code.
[Galaxy Tab General] leftbrain:
You were right about the imei #, tmobile is resending the unlock code now... thanks so much!
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
0x18150e change this one byte from 01 to 00

On my pristine T-Mo US tab this one is already 00. Are you sure you haven't accidentally swapped the values?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I just double checked, and its correct for my files. So theres a good chance this may not work for you (or anyone else) until we can compare more files.
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
It works! I did make all changes except the one at 0x18150e, that is:

0x180069 to 0x1800ce: change all these bytes from the values they are to ff
0x181469: change this one byte from 01 to 00
0x18150e: left this byte at 00

This unlocked my tab, I just sent me a text message with a German SIM card.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Sweet, I reverted BOTH those bytes to 01 and I got the unlock prompt on next boot. So you ended up with 00 in both those bytes too?
[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
So if I follow these steps on my t-mobile tab, and then I insert my att sim, I'll be getting edge with it, right?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Yes indeed.
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
A bit off topic... are we thinking that ATT's Tab will be euro-firmware flashable - giving us access to ATT's 3G network and the ability to make voice calls?
[Galaxy Tab General] Volker1:
Yes, I ended up with both 0x181469 and 0x18150e equal to 00.

Seems like both 00 = no SIM lock, both 01 = SIM lock.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Just as soon as I can track down a firmware backup for my Bell Canada (850/1900) unit, I'll be trying the Euro firmware.

But I bet ya money that AT&T is doing the same thing T-Mobile is doing, and locking out the IMEI numbers of their tabs from voice services. Which means you'll likely need to import a Bell or Rogers unit, or spoof your IMEI (not something I'd recommend).
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Sadly, I think you are going to be right.

I am keeping my eyes open on the Bell version to see how it will work with the euro firmware .
[Galaxy Tab General] kevinsneel:
How did you get T-mobile to send a code? They tell me they can't do it yet.

Also, will this be usable as a phone if unlocked? At least abroad? I'm off to egypt, probably to use vodafone service.

Thanks!

Kevin
[Galaxy Tab General] SiL3nTKiLL:
bookmarking this for when i get my Tab! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I paid full price, and then called then to explain I'm entitled to the unlock code. I had to fax my receipt to their Sim Unlock Team.

Unlocked means you can get internet via a different carriers SIM card. This doesnt give you phone capability, as they crippled the software, regardless of SIM inserted.
[Galaxy Tab General] wawoox:
So when are you going to Egypt Kevin , are you going to Cairo too.
[Galaxy Tab General] kevinsneel:
@wawoox: Yes, we go to Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. I'd rather not publicize the dates on the web, however :(.

@rotohammer: Funny, I talked to them on phone and via chat and had no luck (slightly different answers from both, but neither said they even saw a mechanism yet). I assume by full price you mean $600, not the $700 unlocked price we see elsewhere? I too paid the $600, but I didn't mention it, thinking they'd know that; I assumed they treated the $600 as itself a discount. I guess I'll have to mention it and ask them to talk to that group. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
When I talked to them, I made it clear, I paid the full unsubsidized price, then asked them, "so I am entitled to the unlock, right? All 4 customer service agents I spoke to said "yes". Now, the first two attempts by them failed, the third, where I was told to fax my receipt to them, worked. Its odd that I had to spend 3 days to do this, but I got what I was entitled to.

I paid $600.
[Galaxy Tab General] 3dadd:
Rotohammer,

any time to test the AT&T stock version? Again, when I load it, the screen remains black. I can revert back to Euro Version

On another note, as of today, what's the best Euro version(s) to use for AT&T tablets so they can get updates via KIES?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] biocalves:
So close! I got it to run under the terminal emulator but its not unlocking. What am I doing wrong?

Mostly it's Permission Denied so I think the rooting didn't go properly. I used SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and I have SuperUser in the main menu. BusyBox Installer also says I have BusyBox installed.

Do note that I've already done the process in the "make calls" thread (flash to Russian, flash to Euro, flash Bell Galaxy S Modem) before trying this, not sure if that makes a difference as opposed to the original Bell Galaxy Tab out of the box.

All those $ signs in your output indicates you are not root. After you run su, the prompt must change to a # sign, which indicates you are now executing commands in a root shell.

can you make the video of unlocking. I am reading posts but unable to do any of the unlock thing. Was able to root the tab using z4root. Please if you can. I have T-Mobile Tab.

One question please i have att voice, data and msg plan, i think data and msg of att will work with tab after unlock, so what about calling will i be able to receive and make calls through tab? Whats the option?

hi rotohammer,

i´ve unlocked my vodafone spain tab using this method:

w w w.galaxytabnews.com/news/sim-unlock-galaxy-tab

unfortunately i haven´t read your instruction before.

but anyway, i got it unlocked, as also only the netlock was on.

now my question, you mentioned that your imei and serial is unharmed. my imei too, no changes in there.

but my serialnumber has changed to 0000000000......

any idea to put it back on? my tab is working fine with your firmware :D and i´m not feeling that this serial number is really needed as i don´t need support from vodafone nor samsung yet....
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Yes, you can use a hex editor to put your serial number back in place. I'll get you the locations to edit when I get back to my office later.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I don't have time to produce a video, but I'd be glad to step you through the process on irc when I'm available. Irc.freenode.net channel #modadroid-galaxy-tab .

[Galaxy Tab General] tabing:
Thanks for the reply, i will let you know about irc walkthru. Can the tab be used as a phone after unlock with att sim?

No, unlocking does not enable the phone, flashing the European firmware will.

can u confirm about the locations 0x1880F6 to 0x188100 is the serial number of the device? (in nv_data.bin)

thanx so much...
[Galaxy Tab General] olegmamaev:
Roto,

Rooted my T-mobile tab, downloaded hexeditor, made copies of efs folder and tried to edit my bin file. Opened a file in hexeditor and realized to my shame that I'm a complete dummy! Firstly, didn't find values you mentioned in your post. If I emailed you my bin file, could you theoretically hexedit it for me and send it back?:rolleyes: please:)

Or, if you could help me locate 0x181469 and 0x18150e locations in hex editor - I can't see them!
[Galaxy Tab General] abuser0815:
which hex editor u use?? try "hex-editor mx". it´s easy to use. come on, ty it before u r sending sensible files to someone.

i could do it for you, but no guarantee at all.

anyway, if you use rotohammers easy clicky copy paste version, it will not be needed to do hex editing....
[Galaxy Tab General] abuser0815:
ok roto, u just need to confirm.

i flashed the nv_data.bin with written in serial number on those locations back to my device and it shows my serial number like it should.

so if somebody would like to do serial number modding, here you have the possiblitity, 11 digits as you like.....
[Galaxy Tab General] olegmamaev:
well, actually I sort of figured it out - I just tried editing bin file in the original folder, apparently it doesn't work. So I tried a copied bin file and voila! But... I can't find locations given by Roto - they are just not there!!!

Might try busybox, but, frankly, the alternative solution with BB is completely unclear. I had it installed on my tab, but what is next? Where should I type in "adb shell" and where to paste Roto's lines??? Would appreciate if anyone could explain it to me in more detail :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] abuser0815:
ok,

if you don´t know were to start then i recommend this thread for you to read first and do what is written there:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010

or just type in search "adb how to"

u have to start with the basics.
[Galaxy Tab General] olegmamaev:
OK, thanks!! Will try it tomorrow... BTW, I found in hex locations 00181462 and 00181507 close to those by Roto and modified them, just as one of the bloggers did and succeeded. Infortunately, didn't work for me :-(... after rebooting with a non-Tmobile SIM card, tab requested code :-(... Anyone any suggestions?
