Mind your own business. I've used Odin before just not the di18 so it didn't say to rename it. If your not going to help out don't post. I'm tired of,people like you. There's a lot of great people on here that help out and then there are people like you. I know I don't know a whole lot but you learn from asking and you have to start somewhere so sorry I'm not a genius like you.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
Just flashed stock to my old epic before mailing it back, u do not have to remove the md5 extension of the filename, odin supports that type of file

And ignore the critics, they had questions too, no one was born just knowing this stuff, and I'm sure they still have the occasional question from time to time, just ignore their posts

Sent from my Epic 4g
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yeah your right man thanks. Yeah I saw some people say you have to rename and other say you don't. So you just downloaded it and flashed it. I didn't think it would make a difference if you renamed it it's still the same file. Thanks for your help.
[Epic 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
you also learn a great deal from searching and reading and trying to figure thing out for yourself, infact you learn a great deal more if you dont get an answer handed to you, so while you may think its cool or hip to snap back at off handed comments perhaps you should read more and talk less. in fact use google(since this is an android forum section) and learn to read and research before you decide to be just another useless **** that expects answers for simple thing without doing any of the research himself.

Plan and simple you asked a stupid question and got a stupid answer, maybe next time you'll think a little for yourself prior to speaking.

and as a side note,. you don't learn from asking you learn from asking AND researching on your own, otherwise you're just being spoon-fed and will expect that treatment all the time.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Your the only one that had a problem with my question so f*** off. I wish I lived in ny so I could meet up with you and let u know how stupid I am. I have searched it but then again ibdont have to explain myself to you. Mods can you pls lock this thread I have my answer now and I'm tired of this asshole. Thanks to all who helped.
[Epic 4G General] sexysweetblonde:
Hey *art3mis-nyc* this reply is for you.... I agree with musclehead - you need to seriously mind your own business!!! What the hell do you think a forum is for??? TO ASK A QUESTION!!!!!! So NO PEOPLE SHOULD *NOT* GOOGLE THEIR QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME SO YOU NEED TO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Musclehead couldnt have said it any better himself! How do you think people learn oh wait I guess everyone cant be as smart as you although you cant seem to answer his questions anyhow all you wanna do is bash him so your dumb ass probably doesnt even know what odin is so I think you should just take your smart ass some where else and out of this forum!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant General] jrharvey:
First I flashed the new JK6 and then I flashed Eugenes latest kernel over this and it seems to run just fine except for now I have the standard samsung galaxy boot annimation but also flashing android logo on top of it. Anyone know whats going on there and how to get it back to only showing the Samsung animation? Im sure this is an easy fix so hopefully someone knows what is causing it.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
I think that most custom roms support boot animation.zip try to put one of those in there if your using one click lag fix try to push the restore boot animation button see if that helps

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
the kernel is looking at a bootanimation file (there is no extension) while the other samsung stuff is booting the normal bootanimation files. you'll need to delete the

bootsamsung.qmg

bootsamsungloop.qmg

from your /system/media/ folder to get the dueling boot animations to stop.
[Vibrant General] jrharvey:
Ok this worked as far as not having 2 at once but is there a way to get the stock animation from the galaxy s? Right now I have the standard boring android logo. That means I would have to keep the bootsamsung.qmg right? If I could find android boot somewhere in the system maybe i could delete that instead? I thought it would be in system/media somewhere but its not.

Is there a bootanimation.zip of the stock galaxy s bootup? If not there should be.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
since you flashed one of eugene's kernels, i think you've flashed the one that dosn't support .qmg booting, but only supports bootanimation.zip. so youre kinda sol.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakbjak:
Could someone explain or point me in the direction of an explanation for how installing a custom rom affected automatic updates, as well as the difference between pre and post ota, and why we can't install a pure clean android 2.2 installation in our phones. I am relatively new to this, but did alot of iPhone hacking before.. I've already rooted, S-OFF and flashed a few different roms having my phone 2 weeks and new to android :p hope someone can explain, thanks :_)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benmarvin:
When you flash a custom ROM, you will no longer get the automatic updates OTA. Either you will have to revert to the stock ROM for the update, or the ROM developer will have to incorporate the OTA update changes into the ROM.

There are a few ROMs that attempt to give you a plain vanilla Android experience. But in my opinion, Cyanogen is one of the best mixes of plain Android with lots of extra features.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakbjak:
Okay that makes sense, I'm currently using a villian rom with no sense, is it worth my while installing cyanogen? and if so will i go with RC4 of wait for the stable release?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misconcepti0n:
Well, the reason for many semi-bricks from trying to downgrade to original stock rom pre- or post-OTA was the fact that hboot was hacked, and not truly "S-OFF." If you search the dev section you will find the S-OFF, SIM unlock, SuperCID guide that will give you true S-OFF. I recommend reading that--it helped elucidate why semi-bricks were showing up. Once this is done, it should be easy to flash a rooted, stock ROM when the OTAs start showing up and get the update that way, or just wait for it appear in the forums (which is usually sooner than the OTA gets pushed out, anyhow).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakbjak:
So the S-OFF I have isn't complete? Not that I need a sim unlock as I bought the phone off contract, but it's worth my while getting the true S-OFF? Thanks for all ye're help, there are so many people talking about these things in every section it's hard to pull a search of a simple explanation,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yes, the previous S-OFF was via an engineering version of HBOOT, which was set to report S-OFF. But the security setting is actually held in the radio, and was still S-ON.

The new, "true" S-OFF (via gfree) is a lot safer than the old method, e.g. much less prone to a brick if you flash the wrong thing (e.g. an older RUU than the ROM you're running).

[Android Software Development] Ikari:
Hi all i have an idea for an application, something like Tag on Race games.

Think on NFS Undergroud2.

The application show a map (google map) you and a second or even more cars, you chose one of them and googlemaps plots the trip to it, showing time to the other car. If your driving faster them him it will show something like -2min to reach him( at current speed, yours and the other car).

A plus will be several racers and the first car plots the trip and the other cars have to follow.

Plus compass, position, speed of the other cars etc.

So most of this is based in the possibility to "link" several devices.

In a Windows PC environment i would make a server application and the others would start as clients putting the server ip in a TCP/IP connection.

Is this possible in android? Any one wants to jump in in this idea?
[Vibrant General] TheExpertNoob:
Im using heimdall in Ubuntu 10.10. I made this video as an example for anyone having trouble and I've seen a few people asking about heimdall. Also made this cause I soft bricked my phone and flashed the unmodded JK6 3e kernel. :p Its really easy to use. Any questions or comments, feel free to leave them. Ill try to answer best I can. I'm known as FlyingPoo on the TeamWhisky forums/IRC.

Video here

Edit: you can flash just the zImage without putting it in a .tar file. As Benjamin Dobell and some associates over at TeamWhiskey say you CAN flash the files directly. With that said If you download a kernel that is "odin flashable" you can flash it still in the .tar file.
[Vibrant General] Benjamin Dobell:
Nice tutorial. However I thought I should let you know that you shouldn't tar the zImage, or any files flashed via Heimdall. Actually, until seeing this video I assumed using a tar would soft-brick your phone. However I'd still recommend flashing the files directly.
[Vibrant General] TheExpertNoob:
first attempt I did flash the pit and the zImage and it spit out an error (invalid image) so i figured it worked like odin and required the zImage to be in a .tar file. So I tried that and it worked without any issues. Later, i tried again with the zImage and it worked too. may have been a misspelling or syntax error on my part. :D But yes you can flash just the zImage. ill add it to the OP.
[Vibrant General] Benjamin Dobell:
Oh one more minor note, the version of Heimdall you were using doesn't actually flash the PIT file either. It just compares the PIT file you specify to the PIT file on the device to ensure they match. However, the release I just made a few hours ago, version 1.1.0, includes support for repartitioning (and hence flashing a specified PIT file to the device).
[Vibrant General] TheExpertNoob:
I never knew what the pit file was for anyway ;) just through trial and error I knew that the pit file was required to flash the zImage. Thanks for the extra info. I love the program.
[Vibrant General] jmatic:
Thanks for this man... i've been waiting for a tutorial for this... havent watched it yet but plan to when I get time... this would help out a lot if it actually works... so that I dont have to fire up VM evertime i need to odin. :)
[Vibrant General] TheExpertNoob:
Im on my nasty windows system at the moment and notice you have a front-end now. So I grabbed the binaries for windows and checked it out. FYI, Norton doesn't like it and it won't even tell me why it doesn't like it. Also have ya done away with the 32 bit version binaries for Debian?
[Vibrant General] Benjamin Dobell:
Hmm, I firmly dislike Norton. If you do manage to work out what it's complaining about please let me know.

No, I'll be adding more Linux packages when I get a chance. Unfortunately it takes over 4 hours to compile Qt so it's not the most efficient process.
[Vibrant General] TheExpertNoob:
So I didnt have the C++ Reditro package installed. installed it. re-downloaded heimdall windows binaries and Norton didn't say a thing about it when I ran it again?!? It may have been cause heimdall was looking for libraries that didnt exist on my computer and Norton's SONAR Protection kicked off because of it?!? LAME Norton.

WOW! thats a long time!

Ill be back on my Linux machine Monday and ill try it out then and possible make a video.
[Android Apps and Games] Stalte:
I just found it this morning. Suck on this apple we can do Pocket God too!! Finally the android market is catching up to Iphone Market.

The game is supper buggy like all of the other apple to android apps.

Its also freaking massive without a to SD option. Which kinda sucks.

I played it for like 20 minutes and I noticed that every once in a while my islanders would spontaneously turn into massive random pixel boxes. :)

Oh and if you have a lower end phone good luck. My Evo ran this just fine but my old Hero was crazy slow. So snapdragon devices should be fine as far as I can tell.

I'm not trying to advertise I promise. I just wanted people to know what I found.

[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
It is running against the non commercial, open philosophy of xda-developers.

But you are right, it is a good question. But a very difficult one. How do you keep a forum open for development, knowledge sharing etc. and at the same time allow commercial activities. Hard one. Think of Apple and Microsoft together on one forum "sharing" some knowledge and experience. :D You gonna love that.

[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
@OP

If there was a free version, that would be ok. However, this is a paid app and as such, that is why appelflap called you on the non-commercial rules of XDA (namely Rules 7 and 11). I know that you posted without the intent of selling this, but rules are rules and we cannot allow commercial links in here. If the devs of the game feel like they can offer a free version (much like the good boys at Rovio did with Angry Birds), then they can bring it here. Until then, I will have to edit your first post to remove the market references. This will be left open for discussion purposes only.

Hi,

just to advise:

i bought a microSDHC 8gb kingmax Class10,that i swapped with the supplied

one but after only 10 hours of my desire's use, i had a message "sd card appears as read only etc" so it's corrupted(not yet having time to format it on my laptop)

So i put my Sandisk 8gb class4 back, so far 24hours still functionnal

so perhaps a defective one
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Superthrust:

Hi, perhaps you could tell us what brands/size were involved(editing your post) if you dont mind

@gtrab : i a newbie for android, is that important to unmount the card after unplugging the usb(shouldnt it be rather before ;-) ?

LOL yes I meant "before" :p

and yes, it is important to unmount any USB thumb drive or USB card reader before removing it from a Windows PC

I am not sure if this is related or not, but I found Windows trying to use the card to "accelerate windows performance" or something like that (its an option that pops up when any USB gets connected, I never enable it, but I found a windows-related file there and I just deleted it)
