Hi,

I wanted to flash official froyo ruu

and downloaded it ( http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4b...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe )

i couldnt do it with htc sync it gave me 131 customer id error. people told to go with goldcard.

i read here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8105075&postcount=42

and got my cid, as below:

i created goldcard.img with 1b534d3030303030101ae4b6cd00a840 (by using goldcardtool.exe from - klutsh's gold card tool)

i also got the rom.zip file and copied to the sd card.

NOW; what should i do???? i am going to recovery menu when turning on the phone but cant install it like i do before (like cyanogenmod rom..etc by selecting install from sd card - it is giving error).

also, which cid i should go with 1b534d3030303030101ae4b6cd00a840 or 00A800CDB6E41A1030303030304D531B

goldcard.img is 1kb only, is it ok?

Please help, i need to unroot this phone because i am going to sell it...
[Wildfire Android Development] teltel:
found the solution:

you need to change rom.zip's name,

in recovery boot, the system is looking for file names, mine was pc49img.zip

so, i changed the name and it worked

froyo working great, couldnt find any bug
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewhiterabbit9:
So quick question, tried the new cm today, with google apps, and everytime I open the market, it force closes. I had originally flashed the new market on myns rls 4 and don't care which market I have, any ideas how to fix?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Which Gapps did you flash, and did you wipe data+cache before flashing to CM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewhiterabbit9:
Yep and most recent that downloads with cm 611
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NO1UNO_AK:
I am having the same issue- each I just did a complete factory wipe of everything, flashed CM 6.1.1, then flashed the new 2.2.6 marketplace zip but it keeps force closing??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Well, nobody seems to have been able to reliably get the new Market on CM6. I managed to get it once, but completely forgot what files I used. I just remember that to get from 1.82 to a slightly higher version (1.86?) the ZIP included an updated lib file, which none of the new Market ZIPs have.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewhiterabbit9:
So I love the stock email app for exchange email but my work forces a 15 min timeout for locking with a passcode. On a sense rom, I can select to lock with passcode after 15 mins but.on cm6.1.1 I can't set a timed passcode, hate unlocking it everytime. Is there a way to set this on a cm rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewhiterabbit9:
Nobody have any way to fix this on a cm build?
[Gen8 General] MRCANNADY:
OK guys, if you downloaded the apk that I recommended on another post to get Fringto stop force closing, but having mute issues when making video calls or phone calls, this is the temporary fix. Once the call is connected, you have to press the home button on the archos, quickly go into settings, select sound, and uncheck SILENT MODE! then go back to Fring and the sound is working!! Not sure why it goes to mute, but I know we had the same issue with the Archos 5IT and certain apps causing the system to switch to mute mode. Hopefully archos will fix this, but for now this seems to be the only way to get Fring working. Enjoy!!! ;)

this trick can be done during the test mode also, as soon as the test starts, follow the steps above. Now you can have video calls with friends and the sound wont be muted. enjoy!!!
[Gen8 General] cablerep:
You can also just hold the power button for 3 sec and turn global sound on there.
[Gen8 General] 675 Trip:
You can also download a silent on/off widget and true silence widget. they are different functions apparently. It seems like there are multiple sound profiles and some that aren't listed in the settings.
[Gen8 General] njbreaker:
Thanks cablerep...that worked for me. When I try the OP's solution and come back to the call, it seems to bring me back to the buddy list and not the video call screen.
[Gen8 General] alex_mayorga:
Can you please post "Play Store" links for these widgets?

I have the exact same issue with fring 3.9.3.33 on a XPERIA pro.

I've contacted fring, hope they'd fix it.
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
I know a lot of people totally hate Blur. I just want to know what exactly do you guys like and don't like about it? I really don't like Blur too much, but it does have a lot of features I like. I personally like a little Blur in my ROMs.
[Droid 2 General] vagely:
The only thing I really liked about Blur was the change in appearance to the text message conversations. They were little bubbles, which I personally thought looked cleaner than the current text message style.

That, and also for some reason with the stock Blur on my phone, my D2 never made a noise when connecting to USB charging. Now that I have Fission ROM, it makes a notification noise every time.

Small things, and I'm much happier without any Blur.

These are the droids you are looking for
[Droid 2 General] leobg:
I love the dialer and the email client
[Droid 2 General] zse45tgb:
I like the rich text in the email client. Unfortunately, the rest of the email client is awful. Unless I just didn't dig deep enough to find it, I couldn't find settings for update and notification for individual email accounts. So, I was stuck with the same polling schedule and notification scheme for all of my accounts. Also, I didn't like having text messages in the same interface as email. I understand that people may like that, and there are plenty of apps out there to do that. I don't want that to be the default behavior on my phone.

I really do like the text select. It's pretty smooth. From what I've seen, Gingerbread is using a pretty similar text-selection style. This is probably Blur's biggest (only?) real positive.

I despise the Facebook app. Or maybe it's the Accounts app. I only want to sync Facebook contacts that have a contact in one of my other accounts (gmail, corporate, etc.). So, I was stuck with all Facebook contacts even though I really only cared about 50 of 'em (Hey, I know I'm not the only one).

I do not like the accounts app. When attempting to set up an Exchange account, upon failure, I had no options. Under stock Android I have the option to modify some params - like the login domain (an essential change with my company's Exchange setup). With blur, I can't use my company email/calendar without some other app (like Touchdown). With stock android, it only takes a few seconds to update a connection param to something non-standard to get it working.

The worst thing about Blur is the set of services running on the device for the blur apps. They take up processor time and memory even when you're not using any blur widgets or blur applications.

The onscreen keyboard is slightly better than standard, but I've got a physical keyboard so I really don't use the onscreen one except for the most simple of inputs.

I don't like the image gallery. Lots of people seem to like this and I suppose I can understand. It's a good app, overall. I'm just used to the stock gallery.

And of course there's the bloat. Devices with Motublur come with a helluva lot of apps that I really have no desire to ever use, but there they are taking up space. In some cases, they run in the background sucking up memory. At the very least, they take up a MB or two that I could user for an app that I actually want.

So, overall, I really don't like Motoblur.

I really wish manufacturers/service providers would stick to base Android. If they really want to differentiate themselves via software I think they should have an installation package that would add their own apps (and/or replace default apps).

The hardware is great, but I really don't want those damned motoblur modifications. So, I'm glad that there are devs creating vanilla roms for moto devices.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
I like the dialer and contacts apps a lot with blur. That's about it though. The bloatware and extra useless processes on it slows the phone down noticeable. Switching home screens is laggy and choppy with the blur launcher. I honestly don't need 50 widgets to see what everyone on facebook is doing seeing as how I'm not 14 years old.

And THANK GOD this phone doesn't have full blur or it would be so slow it would be unusable...

[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
i like the social networking status widget. thats about it. lol
[Droid 2 General] cyaniris:
I love the resizable Blur widgets a lot, and I love the idea of linking different source of contacts. But I still have a lot to complain about the contact app:

* It mix social network with my contacts without clear visual clue, like colored tags, for me to distinguish them easily; (I withdraw this point now)

* It does not offer necessary filters like 'sort by family name' and 'hide contacts w/o phone number' ;

* It does not support non-english names as well as the stock app: for example, Chinese names are totally unordered;

* When sms is deleted, it's still in the contact's history, WTF!

If moto would fix theses small but fraustrating issues, I would love to use Blur-enhanced phone.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
Where are you guys getting that you can't hid fb contacts? Hit menu->show/hide->and the click your fb account and uncheck all contacts. It will hide any fb contact not linked to an already existing contact
[Droid 2 General] Quacker:
Likes: None

Dislikes: Everything
[Droid 2 General] cyaniris:
@Botnryan

Thanks, but I was trying to mean that tags should be used to give user a better clue when showing all contacts. Anyway I agree that's too picky, and I would withdraw that point.
[Droid 2 General] zse45tgb:
Where is that option? It was certainly not on the Facebook app on the D2G before I rooted and installed a vanilla rom.

I came from stock android on the original Droid to Motoblur on the D2G. Within the stock facebook app, under options, there's a simple selection about what you want to sync: all, only existing contacts, none. I assure you that these options do not exist in Motoblur. Now that I'm on the Fission 2.4.2 rom, I see the same old options and can sync contacts the way I want.
[Droid 2 General] mxracer185:
The biggest reason I removed it was battery life. My battery life is almost twice as good after removing blur. Although I did kinda like the launcher and the contacts, it wasn't worth my phone dying halfway through the day.

Oh and I almost forgot about the alarm! Oh how I miss how the alarm slowly got louder. It was awesome! I need to look for a new alarm app....
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
Putting blur on the phone is like putting a 500 pound man in a Ferrari.

You are not going anywhere with any sort of speed whatsoever.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
Not in fb app. In the contacts app..hit the menu soft key and then show/hide
[Droid 2 General] patton82:
blur is not so bad as features, but slows the phone down and uses a lot of cpu
[Droid 2 General] anothadave:
ive not really had anything to compare it to but i dont have a problem with blur at the moment. ive dragged all the blur social widgets off of my homescreens as i dont use them. from the screenshots ive seen i actually prefer the green call button and blue contacts button over the standard android ones. the contacts app is nicely laid out, but dont know if thats motorola or just how it is anyway on android.

dont have a problem with the messaging app since ive got Handcent sms installed instead which is awesome and i cant recommend it high enough.

for peace of mind i would of liked to be able to uninstall the stock music player and other stuff i dont use.

also, if you dont want to use motoblur you dont have to sign up for the account. just hit the squares button and select Skip setup when you first set up your phone...

milestone 2.
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
I like the SMS app alot except no notifications when receiving MMS. Checked my settings and they are setup right so I just see it as one small flaw. Other than that blur can go away
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
If you've never experienced the phone without blur you wouldn't know you were missing anything. I mean they didn't put out an incomplete thing it's just not that efficient. That's why the Developers have made their stuff so that we can experience new software on the phones. I really like the speed of everything besides stock and the themes and animations make it all just click.
[Droid 2 General] h0ruza:
I don't mind Moto Blur. It doesn't have to be visible and some of the widgets are clean looking and ok well.

Count yourselves lucky you weren't a Xperia x10 owner like I was. You'd have a stupid timescape app that was poitnless compared to an app and it would automatically start up from time to time and your android version would be mutalated to the point where you expect features to be missing rather than included.

Moto Blur just need to suck less power that's all.

"Most truths were once deemed Blasphemy"
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Blur eats resourses which drains the battery and it's laggy. You really need to try a Blur-free ROM just to see for yourself the difference in performance.

<insert plug for Fission here>
[Droid 2 General] cydetrakd:
its funny i like a few of the blur apps and widgets and everyone here seems to be big on fission but when i ran fission it had many bugs that i couldn't stand like no custom ringtones even on the latest one i flashed and the first version i tried was a complete mess fc city even after 3 data and cache wipes.

If you like having options try running the newest squidlyrom or apex both are good roms that give you an option for stock android apps or blur apps and odexed. I myself prefer squidlyrom because of the smoothness and best quadrant score out of all the roms available for the d2.
[Droid 2 General] jj702561:
likes:

camera GUI

alarm/desk dock

the layout of the lockscreen (just wish it worked smoothly)

dislikes:

everything that tries to tell me how connected everything should be (i.e. contacts, email, social networking)

the crappy laucher/widgets that look like crayons got melted down and cut into squares

the gallery

stock keyboard (i use swype/swift key)

.... dont know if their is anything else to blur i havent covered in one way or another that i used before jumping ship
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
The high quadrant scores on squidly are because of a build.prop element (I forget the name of it), but it doesn't mean it runs any better. Squidly is an awesome rom though.

Edit: stagefright is the name of the build.prop element that boosts quadrant scores. If you add it to the fission build.prop it would get amazing quadrant scores too.

I am trying to upgrade from GW620 from V10K_00 to Open etna's 2.2 version and am stuck at the first step itself.

I can't get the phone in fastboot mode. Fiddling around I found out that V10K doesn't support the mode and I'll have to downgrade.

So I got V10H and I tried flashing in every possible way..

lg utility / KDZ_FW_UPD / uptest .. All seemed to do the same thing but still I tried each one of these as directed.

With all the steps I'm getting same error .. i.e wParam 100 lParam 6 and update stops.

Please direct me somewhere.
[Gen8 General] neonflx:
Well I think I will send my 101 back to TD and go with the SGT instead, the new update is making my 101 unbearable as it freezes often, and honestly I don't thing there is enough interest for someone to work on it and get root and roms out.

Hopefully I'm wrong and someone with the skills required to fix the issues Archos/Google can't seem to get right, will come along and make this the great tablet it could be with the right firmware/os
[Gen8 General] darren1:
Try downgrading Voice Search, I had the same problems with my A70 untill I downgraded Voice Search and now its flying. Goto Settings, Applications, Manage Applications and find Voice Search. Click on it and click Uninstall updates, should make your A101 run fine again.
[Gen8 General] speedbreaker:
Where is that? All i see is force stop and clear data the other tabs are greyed out.
[Gen8 General] czesiu:
try to uninstall

you can also install OS Monitor and check for apps with high CPU usage
[Gen8 General] darren1:
When I did it it was right of Force Stop, but if it has Uninstall greyed out then Voice Search is not causing the problem for you.
[Gen8 General] faldiin:
Best Buy

Check Best Buy for the Huawei before getting SGT. It is 300 and said no Contract. Seems like a good device. Hardware buttons are in a strange place but I would say better then these software ones that are unresponsive at times.

Faldiin
[Gen8 General] richdaley:
I have used a few of the Huawei devices and was surprised at how well designed they are for the price but I would be very concerned about slower clock speed, and Android 2.1, especially for a user that would send a 101 back for not being fast enough.

The OP should take a close look at the apps that you are running on the 101. Something must be slowing it down. If it runs slow out of the box, you could call customer service. My 70 with the firmware update is faster than any other device I have used including iPad and top of the line Android phones.
[Gen8 General] oic0:
My 70 gets slowed down by errant background tasks. It still doesn't kill tasks like it should. It kills them based on RAM but sometimes you have something keeping your cpu super busy and it doesn't seem to be smart enough to kill that.
[Gen8 General] neonflx:
i have alleviated the freezes to some extent, but getting my Epic to tether either via ad-hoc, or usb doesn't seem to work,

root does not seem to be coming anytime soon to the Archo's line, so I'm still debating on whether or not to send it back.
[Fascinate General] illtema:
So samsung posted something on their facebook page about what do you dream for. A lot of people have been using this as a platform to let samsung know their disappointment with the whole F word thing. I think its a good idea and maybe if a massive number of people comment we could have some impact..

heres a link

http://www.facebook.com/SamsungGalaxyS
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
At this point, Samsung is most likely removed from the equation. The update will come from VZW, not Samsung
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Where do you think VZW is getting it from?
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
I understand that, but VZW already (read: should) has what they need from Samsung. So it's on VZW now.
[Fascinate General] lthibeault:
still in samsungs hands... VZW just says Yey or Ney.. on the software... Samsung does all the programing...
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
So here's how the process works.

The guys who built the phone program the phones.

Verizon just sells and ensures that the customers get the optimum experience on their phones.

Now if we take this bit of knowledge and combine them, then you will realize that Samsung is responsible for compiling the software then passing it unto Verizon when they have a release candidate. If that passes Verizon's scrutiny, then it becomes released unto us.

DJ05 is an example of what's not supposed to happen because Verizon likes to ensure it's customer support...

Anyways, I hope this was informative.
[Fascinate General] Jrex:
Thank you! I'm learning this stuff little by little... So the real wait is samsungs fault, cause everything they are sending verizon sucks?! Well good :/
[Fascinate General] SupraLance:
I have to respectfully disagree with you, RacerXFD.

It's entirely possible (even likely) Verizon is holding the whole thing up to ensure perfect compatibility with all the VZ services. Even if Samsung is the one having to do the coding work, all the extra work being neccessary in the first place is probably due to Verizon bloatware. The integration between Google's Froyo update and Samsung's specific hardware drivers is unlikely to have taken Samsung any longer for the Fascinate than any of the other Galaxy S phones. But then Verizon insists on the inclusion of Carrier specific crap before they will let Samsung say all done. So Verizon's fault.
[Fascinate General] Dizfunky:
Even if Verizon is taking forever to bloat up the Fascinate with their apps, it's still Samsung's fault for delaying the release almost every month. They only just got it to them this month, I'm pretty sure.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
The real truth is that we simply don't know exactly who's to blame for the delay.

Could it be all Samsung? Possibly -- the upgrade's been delayed for a lot of the other Galaxy S handsets on other carriers too, which is telling, and Samsung has a terrible history of (not) delivering software updates.

Could it be all Verizon? Also possible -- it's rumored they're borderline overzealous when it comes to updates, and also rumored that they were the reason the Droid 1 took forever to get Froyo.

Or, is it more likely a bit of both? I'd bet it is, just like how Samsung made the dumb decision to weigh down the phones with RFS, while Verizon chose to force Bing on us. Neither party has what I'd call a great track record here.

But, even that is just speculating at this point.
[Fascinate General] voghan:
If its Verizon's fault we don't have froyo then why don't any of the other US carriers with Galaxy S phones have froyo? I think there are problems Samsung is still working on. My guess is they want people to buy the Nexus S and have been working in that phone instead if ours.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
Samsung develops, and tests the update on their end.

They send it over to VZW for network/qa testing.

VZW tests (they have a few "levels" of testing, lab tests, and real world), and if they run into any issues, they send it back to Samsung.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

If you want to place blame for the delay, it's on both of their shoulders. VZW is slow in testing, and Samsung obviously is slow in development.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Well, I really think the same issue that plagues our Devs from porting 2.2/2.3 to our phones is the same reason that Samsung/VZW will not release 2.2...

Just a thought.

I dont mean to hijack a thread at the same time I don't want to start a new one on a simple question.

What is the benifit of an unlocked bootloader over just being rooted? With Gb on the horizon and every new update taking away easy root methods I've been debating on just unlocking and not worrying about it. Are there any other advantages?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonnysekhon:
That's one advantage, another is that it lets you use fastboot for flashing radios etc. You don't risk bricking your phone that way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
I have a locked bootloader, I just use flash_image to flash the radios or whatever. Works just like fastboot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, not "just like fastboot". If I'm not mistaken, flash_image doesn't check the signatures of the files being flashed, thus corrupt radios can be flashed using it, but they can't be flashed using fastboot - it'll safely revert the flash.
