A "I need to send this back for warranty repairs" backup isn't critical since you can just load up Odin and flash it back to stock with that. No need for you to be hyper critical on that.

With this phone, pretty much anything you can mess up can be fixed with Odin (short of flashing things that aren't meant for this phone).

While I wouldn't volunteer to be the first to flash an image, I wouldn't be too scared of it either.

Rooting your phone will add a few files (superuser, busybox) and otherwise leave your system intact. If something breaks later & you need to sent it back to TMO/Samsung, you'd just Odin it back to stock and give them a "blank slate" which is actually something you'd want to do anyways (you don't want them having access to your gmail for example...when I send a laptop back for repairs, I always image it back to stock as well).

I would suggest you read through the Vibrant Bible and just poke around. When you see something that shows/tells you how to do things like flash, follow along (load up the software and do as much as you can without actually doing anything [if that makes any sense]).

Never EVER flash anything that wasn't meant for your phone (a few people bricked their vibrants by accidentally flashing the SPLs from their G1s...how they make that mistake I don't know, but it's happened). Be careful, follow directions & you'll be good to go.

There are youtube videos showing how to use Odin and get back to stock (I believe the bible has links) and there are probably also youtube videos showing how to do other things as well.

For root, all you have to do is download "RyanZA's OCLF 2.0" from the market and click the root button. Follow its directions & you are good to go.

For many of us, that's not good enough. You'll want to then install ROM Manager and have it download the new Recovery.

From there, the world is open, find a ROM and flash away! I'm partial to Bionix, but have recently started to like the Axura froyo ROM as well.

Sup forum,

I just made my first boot animation from scratch. Think I did a pretty good job. Just I want the animation to be a little faster and smoother. If you check the zip I have around forty pics in the "part1" folder. I started with around 130 images and it was real slow. So i deleted some and its a little faster, but im afraid if i take more out it will be jumping across the screen and not sliding!? How do I fix this..what is the secret? like the fresh 3.3 rom animation just slides across fast and smooth. also in my part 2 folder I wanted to make the red eye blink on and off smoothly you know for "loading", cant seem to get it to work. Any help is much appeciated, i made it for my myn warm 2.2 so it says it on there. hopw you dont mind myn, it was just for me but i need some help.. thanks all

Heres a screen shot

The pic is the end result. The ninja slides from the left to where he is in the pic. Then warm two point two fades in. It also has the original myn rls3 soundbite, which works perfect.

By the way this isnt a flashable zip...DO NOT FLASH!! You have to adb or replace your original bootanimation.zip with root explorer (thats what i did)

Hello,

I just bought these awesome yet crappy earphones that... has volume imbalance issues.

I tried to get them replaced, but the seller seems to be ignoring my emails after purchase. :(

I have plugged these earphones in to my laptop and adjusted the volume balance and it seems to have fixed it when using it with the laptop.

Also, I have physically discovered that the earphone wire that has the lower volume is longer than the other, which obviously mean that there are more resistance there.

So my question now is...

Is there an APP or TWEAK or SETTING on my Xperia X10 that will actually let me balance these earphones out?

Chearz,

Is there any way to convert the FAT32 partition on the Galaxy Tab (or an external SD card), so that it can accept larger MKV files? 4GB MKVs (720p) are becoming quite rare. Most of mine are 6GB up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmick:
Try to format your microSD card in ext 2 or ext 3, they should allow bigger files and should be supported by Android.

Does you GTab support MKV + DTS sound files? Up to what resolution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishtangli:
I've tried MKV's up to 720p running on mVideoPlayer. Plays without a hitch.

Strangely, I had 1 high bitrate (1GB+ filesize) DIVX movie that just wouldnt play so well (will not play on the stock player, mVideoPlayer doesnt see it at all, RockPlayer sees it but twitches at times).

Anyone tried converting the internal memory (12GB usable on the Tab by default) into EXT2/3? Is it even possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
If you format to anything other than fat32, the device wont be able to read the card. You can always split the video file into 2gb chunks and play that way.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Ok, just for clarification.

Downgrading from a custom 2.2 ROM to 2.1 requires a 2.1 kernel.

Meaning I should first flash a 2.1 ROM/Kernel combo, before restoring my stock ROM backup of 2.1.

But, what if you use ODIN. Can you go from 2.2 Rom/kernel, and put your phone straight to stock 2.1, using the pit and tar file for ODIN found in this forum? Will using ODIN to go back to stock conditions install the proper 2.1 kernel?

THen what about my ROM backup that I made, do I even need to ever install that back, or will the ODIN pit and tar files on this forum put me back to stock?

confusing question, I know!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticalc:
I got one of the Brazil/LatinAmerica I9000T phones running in the US/AT&T 3G:

Product code GT-I9000HKTTTT

PDA: I9000TUBJG5

PHONE: I9000TUBJG7

CSC: I9000TUUBJG4

Im concerned that upgrading may screw up my radio files. My phone has the 3 US/AT&T 3G bands 850/1900/200 that most of the I9000s dont. Can I just upgrade the PDA to a 2.2 ROM and leave the PHONE/CSC as is? If so can I upgrade that PDA to ANY ROM?

Im also concerned that since I have the latin american phone with brazil firmware on it, and it says on bootup that its a I9000T but its not the I9000B model that the MUST READ describes as a brazil model... So Im not sure what all pit files and ROMs that are safe to use.

Optimally, when I do upgrade to 2.2, should I try to use a MODEM and CSC file from the US/AT&T/Captivate 2.2 files, and use whatever PDA ROM I choose? That seems in my head to be what to shoot for but I'm still figuring things out here...

Also, Im confused... these ROMs Im seeing are installed via update.zip, not by the ODIN method. Will I screw up my phone by installing these update.zip files?

Is there a free method to totally back up my PDA/PHONE/CSC into individual files that could be restored later?

I downgraded to 2.1 with the i9000T stock rom

Now that 2.2.1 is out for the i9000HKTTTT (i9000TUBJP9), I wanted to see if KIES would now work. After downgrading to 2.1update 1 using ODIN ,everything appears work fine on the phone. I tried updating to 2.2.1 via KIES and still get the message "This Device's version can't be upgraded" . I tried this on a few different computers with KIES 1.5 & 2.0 and no luck.

I did do a Factory reset *2767*3855# , but still no luck.

All information on the phone appears to be OK for 2.1 update 1.

I did notice in Kies if you apply the Registry Patcher and use code CWW, you will get a different message which shows that it's currently up to date. Maybe meaning, Jamaica has not received their updates yet.

Any ideas. Very frustrating. Just trying to get this phone back to stock so it can receive updates when I give to another family member.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
You will lose root when you install the update but you will still have S-OFF so you will be able to flash custom ROMs still. You could just flash a custom ROM and can achieve root that way.

If you like to run stock ROM then you have to wait or you'll lose root. unrevoked is working on an update but it is not released as of right now.

If you prefer stock you could simply try ROMs that are very similar to stock for example Virtuous, that way you won't have to worry about this again.

There's any way to put this phone to work on 3G WCDMA 850 networks at full speed?

Thanks
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
I own a Telus version of Optimus 7. My phone has the 900 3G band on it. I will tell you how to check whether your modem supports 850 or not. First, you open up the dialer and enter ##634#. This will install the MFG app, that will be accessible through your app list. The password that it asks is 277634#*#. Now you have access to the manufacturer test/setting menu. Proceed to the Engineer Menu, and then Modem Setting, followed by Band setting. There, you should see all the bands that are available, and WCMDA basically means UTMS or 3G. If you have the 850 band, it should be available in this menu. There are two other things you need to do before gaining access to this band, if available. But in order for me to continue, I need to know which carrier you plan to use this phone on. I am going to assume you want to use this in North America and you have already unlocked it. Let me know, and I shall help you further on making your phone functional for a 3G connection. BTW, I am typing this on my Optimus 7...the keyboard is seriously great, and if it wasn't for the loose buttons, I would have absolutely no regret over my purchase.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidaryan:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S original model number GT-I9000HKAOPS. Like many others I jumped the gun and used Kies Registry Patcher 1.6.0.0 to upgrade to Froyo. The firmware version I upgraded to was XEU which I understand is the UK unbranded ROM. Also like many others doing so has changed my Product Code to KOR. With the recent release of the official Optus 2.2 Froyo version I decided to flash this firmware, again using the Kies Registry Patcher. On completion I noticed my product code is still KOR. This has a number of side effects such as Kies continuously prompting that a firmware upgraded is available, plus indicating the wrong market area.

My objective is to restore my Galaxy S back to how it was when it was supplied or how it should be if I had only flashed the official Optus Froyo ROM. I have a rough idea how to do this though I have a few questions:

1.	What is the best way to restore my product code? I have seen references to deleting your nv_data.bin as well as entering in a code via your dialler.

2.	If rooting your phone to delete nv_data.bin is the best way, this installs an updated kernel as well as other files. If I restore my product code then upgrade to the official Optus Froyo firmware will this replace the updated kernel and remove the other files added through rooting?

3.	What other things may have changed upgrading to the XEU ROM that may reside after flashing to the official Optus Froyo ROM?

4.	What else may I need to do to achieve my objectives?

Please note I have searched for many hours trying to find solutions and answers to achieve what I want to achive without much luck, any advice would be appreciated.

How to Restore my Galaxy S

Hi - I'm also looking for the same solution :( but didn't get any. Did u get a chance to get any results ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidaryan:
I found a solution in regards to the repeated prompt to update firmware through Kies. The fix is, if you have used Kies Registry Patcher 1.6.0.0, to run this again and set enable spoof to false, then click ‘Write Registry’. Next time you run Kies the prompt to upgrade firmware is gone. A residing problem is that if you try to manually do a firmware update through Kies, it comes up with a message stating ‘This device’s version cannot be update’. I imagine this is due to the mismatch between the currently installed firmware, (PDA: I9000DTJP5, PHONE: I9000DTJP3, CSC: I9000OPSJP4) and the current device product code(GT-I9000HKAKOR).

Another interesting question, if anyone has upgraded direct to the official Optus Froyo ROM using Kies without any hacking, have they got the same PDA, PHONE, and CSC details as I have.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidaryan:
I have had great success, all without rooting or any other complicated steps, though it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

The steps I took were to use the Kies Registry patcher ver 1.6 to cross grade my phone to the XSA Froyo ROM which is the Australian Telstra, Virgin and etc ROM. Given I’m on Telstra this is ideal ROM for me. The problem I ran into though is the ROM would ‘fail to convert to upgrade mode’. Kies would then report a failed upgrade and would prompt to attempt recovery. I ignored this message a number of times then decided to run with it. Doing so gave me step by step instructions to put the phone into download mode, from there the installation of the ROM began. Once the ROM was fully installed I formatted the internal SD memory, did a factory restore and all is sweet. Product code is XSA, sales code is XSA as well. This is a better outcome to what I was hoping to achieve.
[Desire HD Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
Just like the G2 (vision) we can now get radio s-off and superCID on our devices :D. there is also the chance of a sim unlock this way (i cant verify this working on the ace as mine is unlocked)

LOOK AT THE CID :p

Although the steps are almost identical to the Visions method I would not recommend it yet. there are some simpler / safer tools on there way :D

[What Is Radio S-OFF ?]

Basically what we have at the moment is an ENG hboot that is ignoring the securflag value .... which means if you update an official RUU or just to a shipping hboot you will lose S-OFF. But with this you will always be s-off and therefore no matter what you wont have write protected eMMC even on a shipping hboot

[What Is SuperCID ?]

The CID (Carrier ID) is a string that the hboot looks at to see what RUU's you can flash i.e HTC__001 can flash WWE roms and VODA only Vodafone roms. With SuperCID (11111111) we can flash any rom from anyone :D

[Credits]

All the devs in #g2root that contributed I helped in no way to this hack it was all other devs im just relaying the info to the DesireHD users :D many many thanks .... although i was the first person to do the radio S-OFF on the DesireHD (ace)

[One More Warning]

Just to repeat i advise against trying to radio s-off with the g2 guide at this time as the method is messy and has a real chance of really messing things up .... if u try this now u are on your own ..... really :(

MODs ill replace this with a full guide when the method is safer :D
[Desire HD Android Development] :
thanks apache :) the procedure is simliar to the "original" permroot/S-off process I see :) the only difference is probably the kernel, where I assume you used your own kernel mod/modified the vision CM kernel alongside a modified WPTHIS to match your kernel adaptation to make it work?!
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
As far as I understood it, this method patches radio to achieve S-OFF, SuperCID and unlock.

So, flashing a RUU or applying an OTA would revert this procedure?
