Another technique?

Thanks EddyOS..I'm planning to do it while seeing the Recovery..after fixing the Brick with a generic RUU with goldcard, followed by flashing the OTA as a zip..

After extracting Rom.zip from the old RUU it gives me the following files

07-05-2010 06:19 PM 100 android-info.txt
07-05-2010 05:57 PM 2,316,288 boot.img
26-11-2010 01:25 PM 0 dirlog.txt
07-05-2010 06:21 PM 524,288 hboot_8x50_0.82.0000_04262010.nb0
07-05-2010 04:05 PM 25,559,040 radio.img
27-04-2010 06:44 PM 71 rcdata.img
07-05-2010 05:58 PM 3,497,984 recovery.img

07-05-2010 06:16 PM 233,021,184 system.img
07-05-2010 05:43 PM 2,112 userdata.img

Do you know which (or all?) of these files is the difference between branded and unbranded. Can we mix and match these files between different ROMs and flash with Fastboot assuming I have S-OFF?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You can't flash an OTA from one ROM onto another ROM - you'd have to brick it with the AMOLED Asia_India RUU and then do the rest 'blind', so to speak
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Whoa.. Well then, I wont put another RUU on it. But still, bricking cant be an essential step, can it? I mean..If I'm running the original manufacturer's version though rooted, and then try the OTA on top of it, it should essentially unroot the phone, shouldnt it? Why would bricking be an essential part of it? Or, if the OTA isnt allowed, a goldcard should make it allowed? It it still wont work, an S-OFF with Alpharev should allow it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You'll need to turn off signature checking in your Recovery and then flash the update.zip as you would any other OTA but yes it should go through
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Ah..Simple and efficient. Thanks..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najar360:
guys,

how do i extract PB99IMG.zip from RUU?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
1. Start the RUU

2. When the first screen comes up, ignore it and click on Start>Run and type

%temp%

3. Find the newest folder you can

4. Copy the Rom.zip file out of it to your Desktop

5. Close all windows and exit RUU

6. Rename Rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip

Done

Hi,

I have a SGS I9000

After upgrading firmware by keis my phone goes into a mode that displays a mobile icon and a computer icon, between them there is a yellow sign with a ! Mark on it.

Nothing Works! Absolutely nothing!

I can not go into recovery mode by all methodes listed at sites

When I connect the phone to pc, nothing happens, no sound, absolutely nothing

When I try linux and taild -f /var/log/syslog did not get anything, meaning that the device is completely dead :(

please help

More importantly, anyone else getting a virus hit on the file by the name of WS.Reputation.1?
[Focus General] wildbilll:
I posted on this subject in the development thread.

I wasn't sure if this subject belongs here or there.

Now comes an article raising the possibility of the phone being blacklisted on the marketplace when MS detects the unlock has taken place:

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/25/windows-phone-7-unlocker-released/
[Focus General] n8huntsman:
Worse than a virus hit. I actually got it. It changed my host file by adding a couple localhost redirects... Every time I clicked on a Google seach result, it would redirect me to some crappy excuse of a search engine. Relatively easy to fix though.
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
no virus hit and havent encountered the redirect problem... am wondering the same with the blacklist issue but i guess it will be a wait and see as with most unlock/jailbreak issues...
[Focus General] markgamber:
LOL...man, is this typical or what? I can see this Windows Phone business is going to be an uphill struggle every step of every way. Swell.
[Focus General] rexian:
While MS might know if you unlock your phone to sideload apps I don't think they'll take the step of banning a user completely from the marketplace. Doing so would backfire because there is no way this user is ever going to pay for an app; he'll be forced to look for cracked ones, not something MS would want.

Also from this message, it doesn't seem they are taking this sideloading business too seriously, which is good. Now XDA, please bring on some goodies. I need a File Explorer and a Media Player like free version of old Core Player :)
[Focus General] rruffman:
i THINK THAT WOULD DEPEND ON JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE UNLOCK THEIR PHONES... KILLING A FEW THOUSAND TO SEND A MESSAGE MIGHT JUST BE WHAT MS DOES..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zameus:
Hey all, so here's my situation. I've been flashing Myn's ROMS for the past month. Recently I noticed my phone going into random rebootes, especially when I start browsing the net or market. I noticed that I was running low on space on my SD card so I started removing some stuff I didn't need anymore. However, in the process I accidentally deleted the folder that contained my NAND backup when I first rooted my phone. Now, every time that I boot into recovery RA, and do a full wipe/factory reset, it only deletes my data and keeps me on Myn's latest ROM. I'm trying to go back to STOCK root 3.30.651.3 so I can start over. Can someone point me to a stock ROM that I can download and flash? What are my best options here? Thanks in advance!! :confused:

Hello everyone. Quick question (sortve) My little cousin bought the full game of Rock Band that came with the stock rom. I called tmobile to see if i could get a refund but they said "once its purchased we can refund" blah blah the usual. I asked her what would happened if i were to put another rom on my phone? (to troll) and she said as long as you pop the same sd card in, you willl have the fully purchased rock band app (she didn't understand what i mean. unsuccessful troll). LIES. I pulled the apk from stock, flashed Iced Glacier, installed it on Iced Glacier and it's telling me to rebuy it.

What do you guys recommend I do?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jjlean:
Call them after the charges go through for a credit
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] fh47qu:
When you install a new rom all of your purchased apps should show up in the download section of your market, as long as you sign in with the same google account u used to purchase the app.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
That is true but this isnt a market app. Im not sure if it sends you to the market but it doesnt look like it. Since its comes on the phone as a stock trial it looks like it just bills your tmo account directly and unlocks the app. I havent tried these so Im not 110% on that. But from the looks of it, it seems these have nothing to do with the actual market/google account but your tmo account instead.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] xalucardx:
you need the /data/data folder of the game , i am uploading the full game files i made a thread on the vibrant section , i can also post the link if you want

My brother wanted to know how much it cost to get it on his phone so i pressed buy full game thinking it would ask me for a credit card number and telling me how much it would be. It is 6.99. Never asked me for a credit card. I found out that i bought it by checking my account at my.tmoible.com. I told 611 my brother wanted to know how much it was so i pressed it thinking it would ask me for a credit card number and telling me how much it was. I actually never even ended up getting the game. I was charged for something i do not have. So the rep said that if you dont have the game and never wanted it in there first place they will give me a refund.

Not sure why they did not do the same for you.

Hope you get it figured out somehow.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] uzi132:
shouldnt you do at least a little bit of research or have experience with a problem in order to give a working solution? otherwise you make yourself look like an ass. just saying.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] sicdroid:
IF it was really bought, then just re-purchase. Call CS and tell them it made you pay for it again. T-Mobile will see the previous transaction and credit the second cost back. They will not double charge. This can be done in 5 minutes.

Or are there any other recommendations meanwhile?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Lesicnik1:
I'd have to say Camera 360 is nice.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
camera 360 wouldn't open on my wildfire (also not compatible through market). Vignette seemed to make worse photos than the standard CM7 app and takes like 20 seconds after each photo until it is finished :s Even on 5MP en superfine quality. So I guess I better keep using the standard app (even though it looks like ****), at least that can film too

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karimin:
i used many roms and lately i decided to return to stock rom.

but i did a mistake.

i used :

flashed Task29 then flashed X1_STOCK_SPL_072.zip

right now i cant use seus. and i cant hardspl to use custom roms.

i looked up for any solution here but i didnt find something worked with me.

only some one post saying :

"You need to obtain the stock rom (does not have to be recent) install it, then revert back to

stock hardspl, then you can use SEUS to update to the latest."

I did exactly the opposite.

i cleard the OS. then flashed stock spl.

right now i am downloading SonyEricsson_X1i_firmware_GENERIC_UK_R3AA010.

so my question is =>

shoud i use ROMUpdateUtility.exe with SonyEricsson_X1i_firmware_GENERIC_UK_R3AA01 when i am on stock spl. and it will work? and if it not going to work.

what shoud i do to at least flash hard spl. so i can use custom roms again.

Ok it work fine now..

so i case any one did do that again.

no OS + stock spl

then u must flash a stock from and then go on as ur life were befor xD
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjk:
You must hard spl your x1 again and follow these steps.

1: rename image of stock rom to ruu_signed.nbh

2: use ROMUpdateUtility.exe and flash ruu_signed.nbh as normal custom rom

3: Hardreset and let x1 bootup

4: flashed X1_STOCK_SPL_072

5: Hardreset and let x1 bootup

6: use seus to upgrade to latest stock rom

REMEMBER YOU MUST FLASH STOCK ROM BEFORE STOCK SPL

Good Luck

I hope that helps

I actually had the same question..

maybe better qualifying the question helps:

it would be great if you could recommend ROMs which are easy to install, running smooth directly after installation, no big tweaks needed to get the basics (phone, sms, wireless etc..) running and where you experienced as less glitches as possible.

in other words: a beginner android ROM :D

of course it's taste and needs which will help choosing the perfect one, but similar to linux distro's it is good to know which of these ROMs out there are for pro's and which are a good point to start (@linux it was ubuntu for me)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
This is not a fix. Turning WFi on will help give your phone another source to determine your location. The key thing here is that WiFi cannot determine your location as accurately as GPS can. If you look again, you'll probably see that your phone will "lock" onto your position much faster, but it's probably not going to be accurate enough to be usable.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Its not necessarily wifi based location but it can use wifi to download gps data. For a date lock. Its just a suggestion, I don't see why out would make a difference with out a wifi signal.

I prefer to not have network location or sensor aiding enabled. Sensor aiding really doesn't work. Made my my tracks results erratic. Network location gets me within 2 miles, not exactly good for navigation, having it on only allow something to fall back on of you lose gps signal but the whole process of the phone switching from one source to the other and back again takes to long. Keeping network location off forces it to only try to get a gps lock and in my opinion works better.

As far as wifi, if you believe it works better that way then do what every you think helps. It really should only download the data and once it has it it is done with wifi un till it needs new data which usually won't be for several hours.
