mtty

Ok, I've done more research;

Apparently you can use mtty.exe to connect to the phone and issue low-level commands. I'm aware of a task 29 ( format ) and task 8 ( reset ). Does anyone know if a reset just writes the image? If so, can I run task 8 without task 29?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] snooparoop:
success?

Through one way or another, I'm suffering the same problem and I'm trying to dump the memory. Did you have any success?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acesmythe:
Sadly no, noone gave a crap.

Sorry about that. Seems like the bootloader that's installed by default is all-together MISSING that copy command. Maybe you can try installing a new loader, but I have no information for that.

*edit* Forgot what information was in this thread

There's a command that will do a ROM dump to the SD card so you can sift through the data manually. It's accessible through mtty if you have the right bootloader version, and the root password ( that's around someplace, let me know if you need it ). But like I said, mine was missing the command all together. Who knows, maybe you have a different version.

Also, you might be able to dump the rom through USB, but I think you need OS access to do it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Existence.:
Hello:

I'm interested in creating and maintaining a custom rom for the Samsung Galaxy S. I've read a ton of tutorials and guides - on site and off - but I'm unable to get started due to one small problem.

After downloading the base firmware I'd like to use (specifically UGJK3 - firmware for Bell Canada) and opening it, I see a .tar file, and within that I see the following files:

param.lfs, zImage, modem.bin, cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs.

I've mounted the .rfs files, but I'm still unable to cook the rom due to the absence of the system.img and boot.img files. I'm using the HTC Android kitchen to cook the rom, and it requires these files (or an update.zip file, etc) in order to start cooking.

I've searched far and wide, but I'm unable to find an answer on how to create these two .img files from the stock firmware provided by Samsung.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Existence.:
So, I've done a bit more research and apparently the way Samsung handles their firmware is different than other manufacturers. This leads me to believe that I must convert their rom into a usuable format before attempting to import it in the HTC Kitchen.

However, I'm unsure how to exactly do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Existence.:
I'm going to try flashing the stock firmware then performing a nandroid backup, then using that to create my custom rom. It'd be much, much easier if I knew how to just create the .IMG files from the Samsung firmware.

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go_l_den:
Hey xda, I just flashed Eugene's Macnut R13 ROM coming from Bionix Fusion 1.2 that had MobileAP enabled and working properly. Upon flashing Eugene's ROM, I found that MobileAP does not work anymore.

It still broadcasts a network, but when I connect to it from my computer there is no throughput. Aka: packets are sent by my computer but aren't received by my phone, resulting in no connectivity.

This isn't the only Froyo rom I've tried, and all of the one's I have tried (including Bionix Obsidian) have had this same MobileAP issue.

So, for the sake of not having to flash back to a 2.1 rom because MobileAP just won't work, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get it working.

Thanks,

Hello xda members, i was hoping to get some questions resolved on this battery tweak.

I just installed a no havs kernal along with a ported version of collins battery tweak for my non-sense rom.

My question is how do i configure it , to make sure its on.

i know from myns original colling mod post i should use like 2 commands

pidof batt.sh , on myns post it says i should have a number pop up after entering this assure that the tweak is working --- i enter this and i the following numbers 3293 2041

the next one that i used is batt-cfg

and then i get the menu posted on myns post this shows the script it working.

my question is how exactly do you know if the collins battery mod is running? should i do anything with the menu that i get when i enter batt-cfg or it already running?

thanks in advance :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phajen:
Collin's battery tweak is pretty much a script that clocks down your processor depending on your battery level, at least thats what it does at the core, I'm not sure if Myn's version has all of the CollinPH teaks that he did on his platform.

I unfortunately had no luck with the tweak, the ksoft process kept skyrocketing on me, and I'm not an expert with kernel - hardware processes, so I don't have the slightest clue on how to go about debugging this. (Although, if I had to guess, its a recursion issue with the script changing the last battery level variable and then testing it again)

However, to see if you're having any luck, you can use OS Monitor to see process cpu %, and what governor and clock your CPU is currently at. I'd be careful setting the clock with OS monitor, it has crashed my device every time I've tried.

You can also try putting on CurrentWidget to see what the draw is on your device, however, I'm not quite sure how accurate it is, mostly cause I haven't looked, but its very nice for a baseline, and you can create a text logfile of the draw and current apps running.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
I installed CM 6.1 and now my phone won't read my SIM contacts!

I was on Virtuous 0.7.1 and it worked fine!

What gives?

thx!

IE: I go to contacts and menu and go to import/export

i click on import from SIM

it says my sim has no numbers!

EDIT:

MY sim card is from Fido, a Canadian provider.

CM is based on T-Mobiles ROM, while Virtuous is based on Sense, so its like Europe?

It's my attempted of an educated guess, using the little education I have about this android ROM business.

[SOLVED]

-Download Virtuous and install it

-Use Virtuous Rom to export SIM data onto SD card

-install whatever the hell rom you want

-go to contacts->import->from sd card-> voila

Thank you SO much for your help guys =D

After a sync, I get an error about my memory card not being seen or something like that....what would cause this? My card is fine but I have a feeling this has to do with me deleting that previous music directory. What directory does DT use?

[G Tablet Accessories] TheTruth:
just gonna put this out there as well...

I've used a company called speedpro before (they are all over here in nj and nyc area)... I've had last minute jobs for stupid corporate initiatives where we had to make our own custom flag for the facility and the procrastinator that I oft am I put it off till one day before it had to be at our headquarters in CT... the owner of the franchise I went to in jersey met me on a Saturday (they are closed that day) - he took my vector based graphic and put in the cutting info/mapping for free (all other places waned to charge for this PLUS have the designer "make sure" it is really a vector graphic)... 20 bucks later I came out with a high resolution 36x48 flag...

they do simple little jobs like printing one-off runs (8.5x11) for vinyl cellphone covers to large projects "wrapping" cars... fyi, it is cheaper to wrap your car in vinyl from this guy than it is to get a paint job!

long story short, speed pro (or a similar sign or fabric printing co) can easily take the dimensions of the device and make a custom wrap for it for relatively on the cheap... so for those who don't want to wait for a group thing, go find someone with a wide format printer and some vinyl and have at it! but for most who just want to grab something tested and shown to fit, the OP has done a good thing here for the community
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
i can tell you that normally we also charge for the vector work, even if it's sent to us in a vector format (unless it's a regular customer with good artwork). the file still has to be prepared for the cutter, setting the cut path to the correct linetype, color.. Not to mention the god awful things people prepare, haha.. This particular one was pretty easy to create, like 10 minutes..

I got one of the carbon fiber ones with the waving Andy. I love it. However, the waving Andy sticker is MUCH thinner than the rest of the rear skin and after much use mine is beginning to show signs of thinning and the waving arm part of it is beginning to come up at the edges.

If I had a do-over I would just order the full rear skin without the waving Andy.

[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
Gotcha, thanks for posting the pics.

I was worried that the whole andy was peeling off or something crazy like that..
[G Tablet Accessories] reisa:
One week later...

I've had the skin on for a week now - and I'm absolutely satisfied with it. I got the black carbon-fiber one -- actually I got 2 of them for fear that I might damage one during application - but it's far too sturdy for that. Following the instructions is simple enough - peel the 1st half of the applique ... position it then peel the bottom half, and smoothly press it into place sweeping over the unit to keep it smooth.

The skin only covers the back, it does not wrap over the sides. It also leaves "notches" that wrap around the screw holes which are filled with a rubber plug. This makes it very easy for the skin to follow the curves of the Gtab back, without getting a wrinkle at each corner.

I was able to pull the skin off 4-5 times and reapply it as I worked to get it lined up correctly. It shows no signs of letting go.

It's a relatively thick plastic -- thicker than a screen protector, but nowhere near as thick as say, a TPU phone case. It's not so thick that it made any difference when I slid it into my keyboard-case (one of those Apad generic jobs). It adds some grip to the back of the tab, and has made it significantly easier to hold. Frankly, it looks exactly like the pictures posted in this forum.

The fit is perfect, the style is great, and the quality is high. Win.
