So with that Koush will be supporting it, and Cyanogen will pick it up and help as long as they add AOSP support for it, which i think they should since this is suppose to be a dev phone as well.

Hello,

I do not know if I should take the equipment protection that sprint offers. Is this the only option or is there any other ?

Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
It just depends on how you are with you phone. Plus it's only $7 I think now? If something does happen to your phone, paying $100 for a replacement is better than paying $500 for a brand new one. Let me tell you though, Asurion sucks. They are one of the most stingy companies I've ever had to deal with, with both my Moment and my Epic.
[EVO 4G General] reedsw:
Yes... worth it. Asurion wasnt a problem to deal with in my opinion when I went swimming with my Pre in my pocket. I had issues with billing amounts and mishaps but excusable in my opinion.
[EVO 4G General] dills2214:
$35 at the sprint store to fix it if you drop it. (Unless you drop it in water I guess)

At $7 a month, you would need to drop your phone more than once every 5 months. If you are careless with your phone, buy the TEP. If you take care of it like I do, the $7 a month is a waste.
[EVO 4G General] johnylovejoy:
stuff happens, i recently dropped my evo.

i have TEP and its deffinetly worth it.

if you get it you might never use it, but if you dont get it and something happens, $500 down the drain
[EVO 4G General] Berat:
I have insurance through Best Buy, 7 a month and it covers pretty much everything except theft. Does TEP cover theft as well?
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
If its Lost/Stolen you will pay a $100 deductible on top of the 7/month to get a new/refurb EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
In the long list of phones I've had over the years, the only ones I've ever had break met their demise in water/beer. So I consider it a must have. Also, after dealing with plenty of customers who didn't get TEP and lost or had their phone swiped, and want to rip my head off when I say a new one is $400-500.. I'd say it's well worth the $7 a month.
[EVO 4G General] resopalrabotnick:
Tpe is worth it in my opinion.

I had a motoq 9c before upgrading to the ego and swapped it for wear and tear issues beforehand.

Probably give it to my kid as book reader/mp3 player... any other ideas?
[EVO 4G General] chris66:
The cost of a lunch, for a $35 repair, or $100 replacement Pay the $7, well worth every cent.
[EVO 4G General] chumpysv:
Best Buy insurance is not 7, it's more like 10. Also, where Sprint can do repairs in house, Best Buy has to ship our phones out for weeks at a time.If I could do it over, I'd get the Sprint TEP.
[EVO 4G General] hustle24:
They don't cover theft and you forgot to mention they don't cover loss either.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Bestbuy warranty's are a Rip off!
[EVO 4G General] hough77:
I had to pay 10 for best buy, 7 was never an option
[EVO 4G General] booyakasha:
Also, I would argue that it depends on how often you upgrade. I usually upgrade once a year, and most phones (I know for a fact HTC's) carry at least a 1 year manufacturer warranty. Won't help you with stuff like water damage, theft or the like, but it will with defects. If you're careful with your phone, the manufacturer warranty is free and should cover you. I got mine replaced for the power button crack and some weird hot spots on my screen, through Sprint, for free.
[EVO 4G General] dills2214:
How is it $500 down the drain?

Take it to your nearest sprint store. $35. Fixed and out the door. Like I said, unless you drop it on a regular basis, I just don't see how it is worth it.
[EVO 4G General] dills2214:
Wrong.

$7 TEP - fixed or replaced for free (Minus water damage/board damage)

No TEP - Fixed for $35 at sprint store or $100 for replacement if in several pieces, water damage, etc.

[EVO 4G General] sling:
Exactly which Bestbuy keeps on a very down low while selling consumers.

Bestbuy geek squad forums have purchasers posting everyday that phone has been out for service over a month and when they received it back repair was crap.

This leaves consumers with bad choices - send it out for service again deal with another long return time or deal with crappy repair.

Oh lets not forget loaner phones , their very scarce and suc.

Bestbuy extended warranty of any type are a scam.
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
I would say its only worth it if your very rough with your phone (or work in an adverse environment, etc) or plan on keeping it over a year. I went through 9 feature phones in a 3 year period because I was so careless with them (fell in fire, dog chewed one, toilet, beer cup, ran one over, lost etc etc.), and considered the couple bucks worth it. Smart phones? I'm as careful as can be. Dropped my launch day Evo once since release, on carpet from about a foot. When it crapped out for unknown reasons at the end November, I just brought it to Sprint and they replaced on the spot for $35. Saved a little over the TEP and a good amount over BestBuy's blacktie scam.

Apparently they're supposed to send yours in and order a replacement when you warranty replace one, but the rep just asked that I give him a good rating on the review call and gave me a new one. Easy enough. *****ing about driving 30 miles in driving snow to the nearest Sprint store with Evos in stock probably helped. Granted he didnt know I find every excuse possible to rip around in a snow storm, and would have been driving around pulling people out of the ditch anyways.
[EVO 4G General] whats77inaname:
I have TEP and pay the $7/month.

First, my bottom LED flash stopped working. I walked into the Sprint store, and it was taken care of for free.

A few days later, I lost it while out. $100 and I had a phone 2 days later. And BTW, they're not giving out refurbed EVOs (at least not as of 3 or so weeks ago). My replacement was BNIB. Compared to what it would cost me for a new one, I am a-okay with $7/month.

I'm not someone that drops my phone, and I generally take very good care of my items, but sometimes, stuff (like losing it) happens. It's a gamble, but in the long run, I feel I got my $ worth, and for what the EVOs cost, the $7/month is well worth the peace of mind.

It all boils down to this being a gamble, no different than carrying comp/coll on your car/truck.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If you have TEP and use it once to get a replacement it pays for itself for the next 6.5 years.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO PAY THE $100, say for water damage, it's still paid for itself for 5.3 years.

That's only on your FIRST replacement.

No question it's worth it.
[EVO 4G General] Soupskin:
I have TEP because I use my phone for streaming music and GPS while riding my motorcycle. It could easily fall while cruising at 70 mph and leave me with nothing but a bag of parts.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Keep in mind that the "$35 fix" is ONLY for the glass screen itself.

Not for any other of the myriad of issues that can occur with a phone.
[EVO 4G General] ron87:
yea but it. As soon as you dont your phone is going to mess up and you'll need it lol. Ive used the program at least twice
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
Huh? It should cover any kind of manufacturer defect or basic issue. They replaced my dud for $35, no questions asked. The screen was perfect lol.

Theres no right or wrong answer to this question. It boils down to if you think your gonna need it or not.

You use GPS on your bike? I never really understood that. I use my Evo for music while riding, but paying attention to a GPS here in Minnesota would put me in a pot hole real real quick. I ride up until the weather hits low 40s too, it gets a little slippery if your not paying 100% attention.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
That's not how I read it.
[EVO 4G General] afma_afma:
thank you all..for the help and advice....i think i am going to take it...just in case...:)
[EVO 4G General] fonseca898:
I'm very particular with belongings like phones, and practice habits that will ensure their safety. I have never purchased insurance on any of my devices. Should I have an issue, I've already saved more than the $35 it costs to get it fixed if it's not a manufacturing defect.
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
Remember, you can cancel TEP at any time, but you can only add it in the first 30 days. I have used TEP a few times myself. It's worth it for me.
[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:
I keep my phone in my pocket, if me and the bike get separated in an accident I want to be able to have my phone. same thing when riding in a car. after my first car wreck I found my phone 40 feet away from my car. (broken)
[EVO 4G General] Dees_Troy:
I think it depends on how much the phone is worth and what kind of person you are. Bear in mind that a new Evo might cost $450, but there are other sources to get phones besides the Sprint store and there are other phones besides the Evo. When my wife lost her Q9c a couple of years ago, we found another lightly used Q9c on Craigslist for $75. That's still $25 less than the $100 deductible that we would have paid with TEP let alone the $7 monthly fee. Sprint also offers $35 repairs to non-TEP customers if the damage is reasonable. Further, I'm a Sprint premier customer, so I'll be eligible for another device in just 6 months. If I damage my Evo beyond repair, I may just have to suffer for a few months with a lesser phone until I'm eligible for a new Cortex A9 dual-core phone that I'm sure will be available by next summer/fall.
[EVO 4G General] nuggyunlimited:
Yes TEP is the way to go. I think $7 is worth it.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
[EVO 4G General] resopalrabotnick:
Best buy doesn't cover theft or loss, Sprint does. TEP is the way to go for me. After getting my q9c replaced for cosmetic issues and a messed up d-pad my wife killed her tp2'screen yesterday.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Saka911:
Well I am happy for the work That is being done by the XDA 15800 forum members esp rex,sahil,sazby,gsm101 , brave buddy , addicted and others...

However I just wish to draw people's attention to actually understanding how things like lagfix works so that they dont face the problems that I faced...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9745695&postcount=40

Just chck out the final piece of code of UN-lagfix that u run to undo i5800 lagfix:

echo "Cleaning /data"

cd /data

busybox rm -r *

echo "Removing auto boot support"

busybox mv /system/bin/playlogosnow /system/bin/playlogos

echo "All done! Rebooting device so that the EXT2 Loopback device is freed."

reboot

chck out the bold part. so what the lagfix does is create a ext2 partion in your internal memory, and whenever your device boots , it is automatically directed to that ext2 chunk.

Now if your phone is working correctly, then no problem.

However IF your phone crashes while u still have lagfix enabled... well I guess after that people will be stuck onto their boot screen staring at i5800 logo for days to come....

morever whatever firmware u flash, since the command makes changes in the mbr, it cant be resolved by usual flashing via odin.

You actually need to restore the proper boot partition which can be done via adb . But then ADB can be used only when the phone is on and in debugging mode..

more reasons why you should be careful with these fixes is

1) i5800 is a relatively new phone. We still don't have the stock kernel, stock recovery with us. For other phones like galaxy s that is available for download.

2) The odin for i5800 is meant mainly for flashing(its not yet advanced). However it lacks the repartition option that is present in galaxy s odin.

3)No clockwork mod recovery for i5800 . Nandroid backup not there.

This post is not meant to be disrespectful to others. I have immense respect for people who work hard and take risks to bring new features to our phones But still it is better to understand something before we do it.. I have learned it the hard way.

anyway for those who have an indian i5801, might want to know that only 2 firmwares out there to solve the issues. so any issues you face do keep a copy of both in your pc, esp datafs and zimage..

ddj5/ddj6

first you flash only the boot kernel, ie zimage, and then again u flash ddj6 . If you are lucky it will boot correctly.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] god_md5:
you can backup like this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9778992&postcount=8

what is indian i5801 stock firmware ?

be the way if you flash or stay in the boot screen

is the MULTI CSC fimrware make this bug

efs is not flash by odin,and the product code and imei is in nv_data.bin

if the stock efs only have one csc ,flash to MULTI CSC firmware

like I5801DKATGY(HONGKONG),only have one csc

flash I5800XWJH2 is ok,if flash XXJP8 JP9 JPA MULTI CSC firmware

that stay in the boot screen

==========================================

Previously Samsung used code *#272*HHMM# (HH being hour and MM minute, = current time) to access the Preconfiguration menu.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
Quite an interesting post these things are surely of importance and we people will have to start from scratch and either make other work tweaked for our purpose or have to build new one.

I will be looking into the details and first thing of importance is to have a backup plan when things go wrong because ppl who buy this phone buy it mostly because they cant afford more expansive ones or 2 phone so safety should be the first and foremost concern here.....

Happy coding... :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Saka911:
well the default firmware for Indian i5801 is

july ddj5

august ddj6

and yeah it is a multi-csc firmware( csc corresponds to area and apns)

but the problem is that the version of ddj5 and ddj6 hosted on sam firmware are leaked builds...

the original build should be ddj2/3 (4 is unlucky in korean)

p.s. If any indianforum member who is reading this has an untouched(never rooted,never flashed) new i5801, then we can try and extract stock kernel , bootloader , ziimage and boot.bin from there so that we have a safety net in future. ;)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Hello :)..

So, in theory, the lagfix i had ported doesn't change at all the partition scheme of the i5800, since it's a LOOPBACK device in the /data partition: If you prefer, a partition in the partition. So, it can't, at all, brick your phone, since you ALWAYS can flash again with Odin (As i said before, you should remove the battery while not in USB/AC).

And you HAVE TO flash a datafs.rfs if something went wrong. I say it again.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Saka911:
hello, Thanks for the feedback...

I just created the thread so that we can make a repository of the stock kernel, boot etc. so that in future it will be useful when we go for nandroid backup or kies update
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:
so does this lagfix work??? after all????

or not?

i have seen someone brick his phone....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
this makes absolutely no sense to me... in that case you´d need to change the thread title and also content of first post, which makes all other posts obsolete what again makes the whole thread obsolete.

however, this lagfix is confirmed working multiple times but it surely needs some work to be done, and in my opinion is not really needed. my girlfriends G3 opens contacts even faster than my SGS (this however could have to do with her having 120 contacts versus me having 800+) despite my SGS runs on custom kernel with ext4 for data partition. Also Lagfixes though a loop device are always a little risky to loose data when doing an unpropper shutdown.

But what the op stated is just untrue, the lagfix does not resist a firmware flash if that firmware contains a datafs.rfs file.
[Android Software Development] sachinsud:
Hi Guys,

I have started working on porting Galaxy OS on samsung wave.

I dont know how successful i will be but i would like to give it a try.

How i started:-

I have tried to force porting on galaxy os on samsung wave using ODIN 3.

My phone was very much detected in download mode.

But after choosing the right PIT,PDA,PHONE and CSC file and click on start.

The process get halted at

<OSM> All threads completed. (Succeeded 0/Failed 0)

Kindly refer to the pic attached for the complete message.

After this my phone was not bricked and it switched on correctly.

Probably because no operation was eventually done on it.

After doing some research i realized that the some files are missing which should trigger this process.

I can access the shell of the wave using wave sdk. And then i need to make some changes in its shell to bring it in sync with android shell.

As both the phones have Linux as a base so it wont be tough.

Can please somebody tell me the file structure of android based phones.

OR any other help to move it further would be highly appreciated.

I truly believe in this forum and the people who made it successful.

Thanks Again.

Sachin

P.S.:- I am not scared of loosing my phone even if its bricked during this process.
