[G Tablet General] photonmedia:
I looked at that before but was and still am reluctant to try it. If you look around in those instructions is starts talking about "onboard ethernet" and there is a cfg file for "crt" and one for "hdmi." I'm pretty sure that is written specifically for the tegra dev-board which has multiple video output options as well as other hardware options that we do not.

I would be hesitant to try this on our Gtabs.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
Have you tried the "conventional" approach via VNC I mentioned in post #4? I still can't get adb working with my G-tab, but I'd like to be able to run ubuntu... (esp the new netbook edition)
[G Tablet General] photonmedia:
I've played with the VNC approach on some of my phones, but I have never really considered that a viable option as you are running Ubuntu on top of Android and using a separate app to connect to it via VNC. "Performance" takes a big hit. Running it natively is the only REAL options as far as I am concerned.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
I just remember that the AC100 -- smartbook version of Toshiba's tegra2 tablet -- has been "running" ubuntu for over a month:

http://www.carrypad.com/2010/10/01/hacked-toshiba-ac100-ubuntu-10-10-is-running/

It's not yet a finished product (check out the official toshiba forum linked there), but it's in the right direction. I wonder if we could port that to our g-tablet?
[G Tablet General] daname:
There is a video of a Toshiba AC100 Ubuntu Demo on YouTube.com. I haven't posted enough messages on this site for me to be allowed to post a link here but if you do a search on YouTube for "Toshiba AC100 running Ubuntu 10.10 - Apps demo" you will find it.
[Vibrant General] sirHimel:
I posted a thread yesterday about how I bricked my phone. I bricked my phone by restoring a 2.1 Nandroid backup onto a 2.2 kernel. Today I built a micro usb jig to force the phone into download mode and IT WORKS!!! YAY now I know I can use Odin to put the phone back like it was when I got it new, but I was wondering...How can I put a 2.1 kernel on it and restore my Nandroid Backup? Is it even possible? Will I have to just accept that all my data is gone and restore to factory new? I'd like to not wipe out all my data if it's possible.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] wannagofast:
Flashing the JFD tar will wipe all data, but it also puts the stock kernel back on your phone. Is your nandroid from JFD or JI6?
[Vibrant General] sirHimel:
I'm pretty sure it's JI6
[Vibrant General] wannagofast:
Odin back to JFD with pit and repartition, then Odin just the JI6 tar, then restore your nandroid backup and you should be good to go.
[Vibrant General] sirHimel:
so using Odin to flash the JFD wont overwrite my nandroid backup?
[Vibrant General] wannagofast:
Odin will not erase anything on the SD if your data is still there on the SD. The result of the brick may have erased the SD...IDK. Glad to hear you got the jig to put you back to DL mode. I have a bricked Vibrant that I need to jig back to life also.
[Vibrant General] sirHimel:
It was all on the internal memory, ran the odin anyways and now I'm back to a functioning phone! Losing my data is better than losing everything
[Vibrant General] draikz:
Try not to repartition or ODIN might hang on you and you might make your phone not bootable.
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
Currently experiencing "hiccup" in internet/data experience with my focus. If phone is not in 3G+ mode, i get no data.

Can someone confirm my theory;

Situation:

Purchased Samsung Focus from rogers, thus rogers network profile (preset network setting for data usage such as MMS or internet).

Unlocked and stuck in bell SIM. can send/recieve calls, and txts, use data (internet, marketplace, weather updates, etc) if phone is in 3G+ mode (seen by tapping near top of screen). Can not use MMS

Presumable:

1)Focus was initially programmed to work on Rogers network.

2)Focus/Rogers, have a GPRS & EDGE capability

Theory:

Focus is programmed to use 3G radio for data (which is more widely accessible, & consumes less power), until detects 3G+/HSPA network and switch to that HSPA radio.

Since bell does not have a GPRS or EGDE network, when phone tries to receive data through 3G radio, it get nothing because no GPRS or EGDE network.

Is this possible, can phones change network they're using?

Theorized Solution:?????

Since Bell has 3G+ network,and they offer LG quantum. Could LG quantum be initially programmed to only use 3G+/HSPA, therefore anytime data is requested it activates the 3G+ radio.

If this is true of the LG quantum, could this be programmed into the Focus as well.

Thus i ask the community is this possible and how to implement solution?????

Sidenote:

I know the easiest solution would be to change to Rogers, however, Canadian provider fees are ridiculous (i'd be incurring early cancellation fee + a new restrictive costly plan from rogers) and there are others which don't have a choice but to use bell, and should have the freedom to choose a device of there choice with a little work.
[Focus General] colinbo:
I'm hitting a similar issue on Fido. The cell side works, and data only works if I enable data roaming. I downloaded the Network Profile app, but it won't let me get anything as it tells me "The application can't be launched with your mobile operator."
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
I think in your case it's just a matter of adding a APN.

Follow the instruction in the follow thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843517

a search for "FIDO APN" on google, and i found this;

FIDO

Name: fido internet

APN: internet.fido.ca

Username: fido

Password: fido

APN Type: default

Leave All other Settings Blank

MMS

Name: fido mms

APN: mms.fido.ca

MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca

MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013

APN Type: mms

Leave All other Settings Blank

That should get your data working, and you wont be incurring roaming charges.

Other then that, let me know if your having a similar issue to above, i don't think you should as FIDO is a pure GSM network from day one so it'll have GPRS/EDGE/HSPA
[Focus General] darcyl:
MMS

Interesting the various issues people are having with connecting to different networks...doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all issue/solution.

In my case, I got a new Rogers sim card (unlocked AT&T branded Focus from Expansys), put it in, updated my APN info, and I have voice and data.

BUT, I have no texting/messaging ability! I know others have listed the MMS settings for Rogers, but the Focus seems to only allow adding *one* APN setting. No clue where the MMS settings can be applied.

Other friends who have Rogers sims were able to put it in their Focus and had no problems at all with texting, internet, etc.

Anyone have thoughts on this issue, please respond.
[Focus General] colinbo:
The instructions appear to be for the LG device, not the Samsung Focus. The code doesn't get me into any factory menu. The diagnostics screen just sits when I type in the code. I downloaded the Network Profile app but it errors out saying "The application can't be launched with your mobile operator".
[Focus General] darcyl:
Facepalm

OMG, I'm an idiot!

So apparently Rogers requires 1+area code for sending texts? Telus didn't...*sigh*...

So yes, I have texting ability (haven't tried MMS though).

Samsung's response:

Now that this issue got publicity lets see how long they keep up this attitude?

COuld it be MS to the rescue?

[Focus General] pjjf:
Not much to add other than I'm in the same situation as reaver_shadow. Bought from Rogers, unlocked it and put in Bell SIM card. Everything works except MMS and data if not on 3G+ (will work when '3G' is displayed, but I guess it's borderline). Tried playing with option *#2263# in Samsung Diagnosis (##634# + Dial), but does not fix the issue. Hoping the Network Profile will become available for changing. Using the Network Profile app from Samsung does not work. Says it does not work with my provider. Says active profile is 'Rogers'. :(

Update:

Probably just lucky, but I have had a steady connection since this morning. I set option 2-7 under Diagnosis option *#2263# (use all WCDMA Band). What maybe did the trick is enabling Roaming, as mentioned by @colinbo. My apn is set to pda.bell.ca.

Update:

Nope, just luck. :-(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slay3r85:
I've read several topics but i couldn't find the right answer. I hope you can help me.

The problem i have happened without me doing anything recent. I have never flashed any rom, and i rooted my phone for titanium backup like 2 month ago and it worked fine.The last things i did was to install pocket legend, the new mmorpg like 3 days ago.I charge my phone during night, and take it for the day in the morning. Today, the screen stayed black when i picked it up. When i reboot, the screen goes black after the samsung logo.

The problem is that i have recovery mode (the 3 buttons) disabled and when i try to connect to kies it says i am not in samsungs kies mode.. Is there a way to force it to detect my phone so i can try update it?

According to the wiki, my phone doesnt seem to be bricked as i can still see the battery charging when i plug it. Is my phone bricked? Any hope?

I know the easiest way would be to return it to the store, but i dont want them to see my personal information/rooting as i cant even factory reset it.

There is also that topic on internal sd that has failed but i think this is not my case. You can still boot into android without the internal sd right?

I've seen a topic on soldering two mini usb cable to force the phone to go into recovery mode. I not familar enough to do it. If this method could solve my problem, could anyone sell me one?

Was there an over the air update today that could've done this to my phone?

I am lost, please help i am really clueless in what is happening to me.

Okay, I know the jig will DEFINITELY work in this case. Any phone state I've come across with that jig, I can throw the phone into downloading. However, it seems that there MAY be hope for you PRIOR to using the jig. Are you familiar with the ADB commands? If so, turn on the phone, connect via USB, run cmd as administrator, navigate to the proper adb folder and under the prompt type in adb devices. If it shows any device, type in adb reboot download and it'll throw it into download mode for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slay3r85:
I think the JIG is my last resort but i dont have any solder skill ;)

If you know anyone that could sell me one i would be very happy!

Good to hear that the JIG would work. As for ADB commands, doesn't it need the usb to be put in debugger mode? Is there any way to do it externally, without going in the setting menu? I am not very familiar with the adb commands but if its doable i will go read about it.

Thanks for suggestions!

[Epic 4G General] Cam3ron1:
Is there such a thing?
[Epic 4G General] DRockstar:
If you think you could hang with typing some pretty long instructions using terminal emulator, it can be done manually. It's not for the faint of heart... and if you typed in the wrong bml and screw up your phone, it wouldn't be my fault.

If you can hang with that, then cool, I could post some instructions. All this is just so much easier though with the one click method.
[Epic 4G General] Cam3ron1:
Ok how long is it and how do I do it
[Epic 4G General] DRockstar:
OK...

Firstly, root the phone with z4root from the market. Also get Astro file manager and Android Terminal Emulator from the market while you're there. Connectbot can also be used as a terminal.

Download the one click root 1.4.0 from noobnl to your phone. Extract the contents using Astro file manager. Copy the following files and put them on the root of your sdcard:

redbend_ua

zImage

Now open the terminal app, and type the following commands exactly:

su
cat /sdcard/redbend_ua > /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8

Your phone will reboot after the flash.

Remember to type the commands exactly.
[Epic 4G General] DRockstar:
OK, if you want to cleanup afterwards, go back into terminal and type the following commands:

su
rm /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua

I will encourage anyone who reads this to not play with redbend_ua unless you know what you are doing. These instructions will work if done exactly to the letter.

Once again, I take no responsibility if you hose your phone.
[Epic 4G General] DRockstar:
Also, make a backup with ClockworkMod after you install it, so you have your current rom saved, just in case.
[Epic 4G General] deciple:
Download rom manager, then use rom manager to download clockwork mod, then use astro which is a free app available in the market which is very useful, to open the sd card folder, then go to clockwork mod folder then copy recovery-update.zip and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it just update. It's already a zip file so you don't have to type.zip. Now reboot into stock recovery and apply update.zip. Does not work with froyo. But if you down load the clockwork redirect, then you can install that once you get into clockwork recovery after you flash a froyo rom before you reboot. But using adb to flash the permanent clockwork kernel is the best way.....try this......update.zip method:

1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery

2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fixed.zip

[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I would suggest you go to the ROM/Kernel thread of the ROM/Kernel you are trying to flash in the DEV section.

I flashed Leedroid with Buzz OC & kamma's OC before without any problem.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artcriminal:
I had serious probs with that too. I could get my phone into download mode but then windoze wouldn't recognize my phone and neither would odin. I tried it on multiple pcs without luck. Then... something great happened. I tried it on another pc with less abused usb ports. In fact my first success was using the adaptor for a cooling platform that plugged into the laptop's usb port and had a female port on the back so you could piggy back devices on one usb port. In any case, all of a sudden I could flash the **** out of my phone. These guys post that odin is picky about it's perfect usb connection and they are right but they don't elaborate just how picky or what to do except practice an exercise in futility pulling and plugging your cable over and over which never worked for me. You need a machine with a very tight usb port or one with an adaptor in it that gives it the right kind of usb "vaginal tightening" to make that perfect usb connection. Remember you are flashing your phone. This is a low level format and flash in essence hence this litttle program demands a tight connection, no hotdog in a tunnel trying to rub the sides. So don't fiddle with your cable like these guys tell you. It NEVER worked for me. find or create a great connection and you should be able to flash the crap out of your phone. Btw, mattering what rom you have installed you may have tweaked how to get into download mode. I guaranteedly got into it by having the usb cable plugged in and holding down the down volume button. with other roms it was both down and up volume or the up only but always with the usb cable plugged into the phone and pc. Good luck.

A while back I must have done something to switch my default voicemail password to my Google Voice number. I'm not able to set up GVoice to be my default mailbox, and more importantly, I'm not able to access the default AT&T mailbox, so I've got a pesky icon in my notification area, and the only number it has stored for VM is my Gvoice number, which doesn't receive any voicemail.

I need the default number that AT&T mailboxes use, so I can press and hold "1" and it won't dial Gvoice.
