For steps 1&2:

If you have 1.33.0013d yes just make sure its the Vodafone nbh otherwise the update won't be fetched.

This will install the original spl + radio + rom + recovery

As for step3.. you want root to poke things but best to leave recovery alone.. androot or exploid are your better bets.

Mind you once you upgrade I can't promise you can re-root (likely the method used on the t-mobile phone will work but androot/exploid are patched iun 2.2.1)

Update Nr. 1:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3308532/sapphire_32b_ota/126221163a9c.hboot-1.33.0013.vfpioneer.12622116.zip

Update Nr. 2:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3308532/sap...gned-vfpioneer-FRG83D-from-DRC92.735b0bf4.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] HammerT:
lol that first one is almost exactly the same as the 1.33.0013d SPL that rolled out to the mytouch

Edit: ok and update 2 includes RADIO-2.22.28.25
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] th2811:
Yes.

In this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQdbaqOOXGs

you see that it is the same Baseband-Version
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
Yes same as t-mobile:

HBOOT: 1.33.0013

Radio: 2.22.28.25

Rooted devices probably best stick with 1.33.0013d.

Same languages as ASOP builds:

de, en, es, fr, it, nl

Keyboard dictionaries included (will need to add that to my language packs)

If someone has this installs re-roots and is willing to give me the system image from a nandroid poke me a PM

it will make it easier to "extract" bsdiffs without the previous rom's files ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WoblyGoblin:
If some1 can also send me whole nandroid pls PM me thx alot in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] em666:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] th2811:
sent you PM
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] skyleth:
how can we install those files without recovery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cokxx:
You have to rename it to update.zip and after that install it with bootloader (turn your phone off and turn it on with [Volume Down] + [ON/OFF] :D).

When it's finished reboot it and tadaaaa FROYO.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] em666:
how to root it now??

my universal androot doesnt seem to be working...

and where are live wallpapers??? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
*Androot won't work its patched in asop:

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Can't say I've ever used it.. but that is the re-root of the t-mo ota.

*Live wallpaper picker is not in the sapphire asop build .. just push the apk from cm6.1

Once that is installed get some lwp from market
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nowrock:
It's my first time to flash my magic(rom 1.5 ). It's :

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0008 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Apr 29 2009，02：28：53

My fault step is:

>Home+power, in the "Anroid system recovery utility" interface, I selected ''wipe data/factory reset". then chosed "apply sdcard : update.zip" (ROM 1.6 file in the sd card). but it shown the message:

"E:No signature

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted "

Then, I can't enter the system normally after the phone restarted. It shown a black screen.:(

I think the problem is that my Recovery version is low(I didn't update it ever), so I can't flash any ROM, right? But I can't enter the system to update the Recovery. So is there anyway to flash back my magic?

Anyone can help???

Thank you very much!!!
[Captivate General] kamesen:
i got some 700mb avi movies and dropped it on my phone. it said it could not play. do i need to resize it or is it an encoder issue? maybe the file size is too big? idk!

thanks
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
What player are you trying to use?
[Captivate General] chirs:
use rockplayer or vplayer, I had played 2.7gb mkv 720p movie with no issue.
[Captivate General] Palmetto_X:
Try the program "handbrake" with high profile settings
[Captivate General] yourname146:
Are you using a custom rom? Because I have been watching 700 mb .avi and great big hd .mkv with no problem, on both stock and newest cognition. Only format I HAVE had a problem with is m2ts.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I use PavTube Ultimate Blu-Ray Converter to make Xvid MP4 files out of my discs. They work great on the Captivate. I played around with different settings and there really isn't much visual difference between using the native 800x480 resolution compared to HD rez, but the difference in file size is significant.
[Captivate General] ryboto:
I get the same issues with some AVI's in both Rockplayer and the stock player on the stock rom. Haven't tried movies since flashing to Cognition 2.3b7. MKV's don't typically play in rockplayer, the few that have skipped a ton, or they would play with no audio. Not sure what you guys are doing to your movies to make them play. All of my videos are encoded properly, and play on my WD TV Live just fine. The WD is a good test of media quality for rips.
[Captivate General] SlappyMcGee:
The WD TV Live also can play pretty much any audio and video codec you throw at it.
[Captivate General] ryboto:
There have been mkv's that have not played correctly on it, so if it's not encoded properly, the WD is a good test, from my experience.
[Captivate General] oriongaby:
I have some 700mb xvid movies on my phone and they play fine on stock rom w/stock player. But I highly recommend vplayer for video and rtsp watching.
[Captivate General] kamesen:
Yep. Gave Handbrake a shot. Works like a charm. Will download vplayer and check it out

thanks fellas
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
What kind of settings are you guys using for your conversions?
[Captivate General] kamesen:
followed the settings outlined on this webpage:

http://www.knowyourcell.com/samsung/samsung-captivate/captivate-guides/513592/how_to_convert_videos_and_transfer_them_to_the_samsung_captivate.html

Requirements:

Installed copy of Handbrake software

Video files and or DVD of your choice

Samsung Captivate with microUSB cable

Step I: Launch the Handbrake application on your computer and select the video source

In the menu on the right-hand side, select the iPod Legacy preset (figure 1)

Select your video source by clicking on the Source dropdown menu (we used a DVD for our testing purposes)

Select the destination and name for the file once it has been converted (both the .mp4 and .m4v extension work for the Captivate)

Confirm that the container is set to MP4 File and that Large file size, Web optimized, and iPod 5G support are unchecked

Step II: Adjust Handbrake's Video Settings

Picture Tab:

Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio

Set the Captivated Width and Height (the Captivate supports a maximum of 800 x 480 pixels)

Video Tab:

Confirm the Video Codec is set as H.264 (x264)

Framerate (FPS) should be set to Same as source

Under Quality, select the Avg Bitrate (kbps) and change it to 1500

Step III: Adjust audio settings

Confirm the Audio Codec is AAC (faac)

Mixdown should be set to Stereo

Change the Samplerate to 48

Change the Bitrate to 160

Step IV: Save as a preset for future use

Click on the Presets menu and select New Preset

Enter Captivate in the dialog box and click Add

"Captivate" will now be saved as a preset and listed on the right hand side in Handbrake to be used in the future

Step V: Convert the video and copy to your Captivate

Click on the Start button in Handbrake

A command line/DOS window will open and start to process the video conversion

Once the conversion is done, mount your Captivate on to your computer via USB

Once mounted, create a folder named Video in the root folder on the Captivate

Copy converted file into the Video folder

That's it! The converted video can now be played on your Captivate using the Gallery app. It should look fantastic on the Captivate's screen as long as the original source was of good quality.

A few things to keep in mind when converting video:

The Captivate does not like video file sizes over 2GB (the settings in Step II should help insure that the file size is kept under 2GB)

Your converted video will only be as good as the source video

If your source is over 800 x 480, you must be sure to set the width and height to a maximum of 800 x 480 as noted in Step II
[Captivate General] Damager:
ditto. no problems with xvid or mkv files of that size.

i hate converting! all i want is drag, drop and play.. easy as that.

On Assonance 4.3 o/c to 1300 mhz :-)
[Captivate General] malicenfz:
I actually converted like 20 movies or so for my phone but I dont think Im allowed to post the links to them here lol.
[Captivate General] yourname146:
I don't know what went wrong, I can just say I'm running same cog rom you are and so far .mkv, .avi and .mp4 work just fine for me on the stock vid player :-/
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Tried Handbrake using the settings above and the video was garbage. I'll stick with Pavtube as it converts anything I throw at it in any format without issue and it does Blu-Ray, as well. Looks like 1500 bit rate is the sweet spot for good video quality and manageable file size.
[Captivate General] Palmetto_X:
I believe all you have to click is High profile on the right side , that is it
[Captivate General] diablo009:
I don't think u would need to convert any vids for the captivate. Captivate by itself plays a variety of formats :-)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Actually, since I'm ripping mostly Blu-Ray discs, they DO need to be converted. And I did a check ripping standard DVD to both mpg2 and mp4. A 50mb mpg2 rip was about 3:40 (min:seconds) whereas the same settings ripped to mp4 was closer to 4:20. Over the span of a complete movie, the mp4 conversion will yield a smaller file size.
[Captivate General] mod777:
Use Vplayer - it's free and supports almost every format - plus the dev updates it alot more in comparison to rockplayer which isn't free.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] taffypride:
I am attempting to deodex the original stock Vodafone 845 rom so I can have a play at customising my own rom.

I am currently attempting to use xUltimate v2.2.2 to pull the original system apps/framework and then deodex and am having a few problems.

Firstly, the framework deodex's perfectly fine with no errors.

Apps, well that is another story. Gmailprovider, Gtalkservices, Talk and Vending will not deodex and cause an error in xUltimate.

The error is (using the GmailProvider as the example):

Any suggestions to get around it or any suggestions as to another Deodex app to try (I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x86)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] adicken:
Froyo 2.2.1 for the HTC Magic has been released by Vodafone UK. Does this mean we may yet get it for the Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmux:
I assume you are under the (false) impression that HTC Magic has sense in their official release....

(Am I wrong that it doesn't?!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] skaif:
erm...Froyd, Floyo and Elelinux?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] adicken:
I realise this, I was mereley pointing out that support is still there from the carriers for older models with HTC. From a development point, this support can only help and assist developers in using the lates official drivers, frameworks etc.. to adapt and tweak.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fisk91:
actually htc magic will recieve 2.2.1 in the UK, just google it.. (offical from vodafone that is)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fysi:
HTC Magic is just plain old vanilla Android.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ssndip:
Well , HTC Magic received and 2.1 Sense official rom , may be that will be the case again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fysi:
To quote the Vodafone post on it:

'... improved support for Active Sync Exchange (email, contacts and calendar sync)'

That to me says it is vanilla FroYo.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] adicken:
I agree that it does look like vanilla Froyo, but I was merely stating that it is good news that the Magic is still being supported and updated to newer firmware etc. This can only be good news to other handesets such as our Hero's. After all, any new firmware will only enable developers to get their hands on the latest drivers, frameworks etc...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] withoutwings:
I wonder what kernel version it is running?

Would be nice to one day salvage enough driver code to get .34 or beyond running on our phones!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hmmm... Interesting, though not that likely to help in terms of drivers IMHO, given we've got CM properly compiling for hero.

Kernel sources, now that's another matter :)

Bet this will annoy stock hero users, that an older device will get 2.2 and they won't (officially). Time to head over to XDA for them perhaps?

All I will say is don't get your hopes up at a .34 kernel. It might, but bear in mind that gingerbread runs on .29 on the emulator, so it could be a .29 one again...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ng LC:
Y HTC Magic can get 2.2.1 update and Hero don't?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmux:
I assume because HTC Magic does not have Sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lefsp:
yeah, I think the vodafone htc magic never had sense (the unbranded ones got sense in the 1.6 and 2.1 versions)

isn't there a chance that you can port this camera driver to hero with Sense? I mean both phones had almost the same hardware..

also I heard from another forum that the 2.2.1 update for Magic has 2.6.32 kernel..

will that help?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmux:
None of this is new, the Magic has had a senseless 2.2 (I assume 2.2.1) update from TMO with a .32 kernel for quite some time now. For now, none have succeed porting its camera to the Sense 2.2 - even the magic Sense 2.2 ROM (which is based on the gratia and legend ports) has the exact same problems like we do.....

hi guys, I also posted this in the cyanogen mod topic

here's me thing.

after flashing cyanogen mod 6.1 (newest one) my desire shutted down, started the flashin process, and then popped in the cyanogen animations which is now infinite looping.

I rooted with unrevoked (latest)

installed clockworkmod recovery using Rom manager from the market

this flash was succesfully

then I downloaded the rom with rom manager

checked the googleapps option

selected the rom, checked wipe data and cache (already made a backup before)

Phone restarted, flashed for a while.. then went to the HTC screen, left the HTC screen and started the cyanogenmod animation. this animation is now looping and looping and looping, nothing happends.

what must I do, its my first post here, and i am very new to this.

thanks in advance for your reply and help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Sounds like an Apps2SD/Data2EXT partiion issue. Have you correctly partitioned your SD card beforehand? This is a requirement with custom ROMs. If you have not partitioned your SD card then this type of symptom (constant bootloop) can occur.

Hey there xda!

I was wondering, why factory S-OFF phones(speaking as an owner of a desire a8181) cant be rooted using the unrevoked method? Anyone got a clue?:confused:
[Desire General] mariosraptor:
why? you have a factory S-off Desire? (apo pou re mastora)?:D
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Swithc off the phone, then press volume down while pressing also the power button untill it boot on the bootloader (white screen)..There u will see on the top S-ON !!!!!

If u see S-OFF mean YOU (or someone else if u bought on ebay) did a full root on it with some specific procedure :P

If u have S-OFF but no root permission, just run an RUU and then root again with unrevoked.
[Desire General] w.0.o.t:
there are phones that come from factory with S-OFF.. read somewhere it's developer phone or something.

if S-OFFed using AlphaRev, make sure hboot is not updated too when running RUU, otherwise the security will be turned on again.

back on topic, not sure why that version of Desire can't be rooted with Unrevoked.. read the other day someone else was having the problem too.
[Desire General] cr1960:
this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853583
[Desire General] NeoDriver:
I'm not too sure why some come factory s-off, but considering it is, have you tested to see if fastboot works? If it does, all you need to do, is download a recovery image (I use RA-Desire) put the phone in fastboot mode and run "fastboot flash recovery INSERT FILENAME". Assuming that works, you can just install a custom rom with root included. Unfortunately this is all just theory as my phone was s-on when I got it. So do anything at your own risk :-)

Edit: just another thought. Because you are s-off, it might be possible to go into the default recovery/bootloader and use "adb pull /" to pull a complete copy of your system etc (as a backup), and then use "adb push ROMFOLDER /" to install a custom rom, although if the rom normally runs scripts while flashing as a zip, this might not be possible unless someone sends you a copy from their already installed phone, same as before, do at your own risk because I have no idea if it would work :-P
[Desire General] dexter93:
Well i believe so. The phone i m talking about was destined to be a demo in a store (sth vodafone)(it came in a plain white box with just the charger inside, when i tried to download htc sync from htc it could not recognise the imei and it had a demo video that appeared every 2 minutes) Actually i'm not sure, because i first noticed the s-off after a failed attempt with unrevoked(before i did not notice if it was on or off). The phone is generally untouched, as i got it brand new(na'nai kala h mana pou douleuei sti vodafone). bEFORE attempt rooting, i had updated OTA to 2.2 froyo(wwe unbranded). @cr1960 i have not that version. My current spes are:

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT 0.93.0001

RADIO 5.11.05.27

*ROM: 2.2 OTA official htc update v.2.29.405.2

@w.0.o.t: how to ruu? is it safe? do i lose settings or data?

@NeoDriver: how do I test fastboot?

Thanks for the quick responses!

[edit] i have found another guy with s-off that he couldnt root with unrevoked(same error), but he was on stock 2.1 with 0.7 hboot
[Desire General] EddyOS:
There's nothing above the S-OFF part when in HBOOT which is in pink at all no?
[Desire General] NeoDriver:
Quick question, when you go to the bootloader, does it display "ALPHAREV" at the top? It's just that your HBOOT (v0.93.0001) with S-OFF, is what the alpharev s-off gives.

Either way, to test fastboot, power off your phone and plug it into your USB. Hold the BACK button on the front of your phone and power it on, let go once you are in fastboot. You should be shown a white screen very similar to the bootloader but it should say FASTBOOT USB. In the tools folder of the Android SDK is fastboot. Open a cmd prompt, cd to the tools directory and run "fastboot devices". Your device should be there. Next thing to do would be "fastboot flash recovery FILENAME"

Im just not too sure if these fastboot commands are only active in AlphaRev's images =/

Oh and running an RUU is perfectly safe but as far as I know, it is a complete wipe of everything!

Hope this helps
