hi guys,

i have a problem with the app Sound Recorder (stock and from market), they cannot write properly my file system apparently, i have root and i changed permissions recently on the file system for other things.

stock soundrecorder gives me "cannot access SD card"

and another one tells me "unable to access file system"

i can find the files on the sd card (so looks like they are recorded) though when i click for opening there's no way to open them, i can use another app, as long as it doesn't write an .amr file.

i think the problem is either permissions on the SD card or codecs related, is there a way to check that permissions are ok AND to reinstall stock audio codecs like we do on windows for example?

i opened the .amr file with another app from market and they had an awful background noise though, so i think it's 90% codecs related.

thanks

Hi! I don't know if someone of you thinks It's a problem, but when you get a SMS when your phone is off, and you turn it on the next day. You can't see the details on when the message was sent. It only shows when yourself turned the phone on. Is there anyhow you can do so it will show the details on when the SMS was sent?.

Thanks for all the answers!

Hey xda-friends that is my first thread so please be generous.

On topic:

I have a unlocked sgs 8gb from germany i made my first update from 2.1 to 2.2(jp6) with the reghack via kies than i made myself a jig cable just in case......

Now my customitations began oclf2 new luncher gingerbread keyboard and so on i am very happy with performance and everything .....

So my question would be is there a good reason i am missing to update to the new 2.2.1 releases (i don't have recovery avaible just download mode via jig .

i am not really into modyfying my bootloader (3btn fix) but i would do it if it is really needed ......

Thank u in advance for any suggestions tips or help

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pierreken:
My first upload with this phone went wrong and I did not have the 3-button combo. Had to send it in for repair and got it back again without the 3-button combo. First thing I did was enable it by flashing a new bootloader (this time I used Win XP x86 instead of Win 7 x64 as Odin did not seem to work well on Win7 here).

I did it because I knew I was going to do uploads again, I simply want to be able to use the latest roms :-)

If you can live without flashing roms (unofficial ones) then there's no need to flash the bootloader although I can imagine that even with the official updates from KIES something can go wrong.

However with your cable that enables the download mode, you should be able to recover from any faulty flash. Recovery mode can always be accessed from a reboot command line.

As for 2.2.1, I'm very happy with the performance (no lag seen so far) and especially the battery usage seems promising in my current config. However it takes time to evaluate a new rom as the first days of usage are normally not representative for general usage patterns of the phone. If you want to know peoples opinions, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more weeks.

P.S.: I did the update to 2.2.1 using the KIES registry hack
[Galaxy S I9000 General] imkr1:
How to do registry heck? Is it dangers for the phone? I don't have 3 combo buttons work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pierreken:
You can find the application here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628

You will basically make KIES think that you have a different product code which allows you to install an update that is limited to a certain region only.

Full instructions are in the thread above, make sure to read those before you start with this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gbohm:
Thank u for ur comments

One more question do i need recovery mode? I mean if smth goes terrible wrong ->stock fw reapartion in odin fine or is there a situation where i really need recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drew071:
If you can flash with odin does this mean you can get Download mode(home, vol DWN and Pwr)? If so recovery of firmwares is no problem in the event of a brick.

Hi there, im a bit of a noob when it comes to the HTC, ive had an n900 for a while and loved the customizability of it, OC'ed, running android etc. Ive Just now got the HTC Desire HD, after 2 days of owning it i decided to mess with it. Ive successfully rooted it and installed the cyanogen 6 ROM... trouble is i never backed up the original Desire HD rom (noob) lol, cyanogen works perfectly but i havent quite figued out how to install Gapps. Has/does anyone know where i can get the original HTC Desire HD ROM from? Maybe im missing something somewhere but i cant seem to find it.

Sorry for pleading help on my first post, but i will be modding loads later once i get my head round it all... hopefully i'll be some help to someone.

I am thinking of getting this phone but would like to know if i am able to send bulk sms txt messages from it?

I am responsible for the training and management of 60 youth clubs and the easiest and most convenient way for me to send updates or alerts out to the club leaders is via sms.

I had a HTC s620 which allowed me to do it but I had to enter each address separately and now I am temporarily using a Samsung which only allows me to send 10 sms at a time.

I am hoping that the Trophy will allow me to select all in my Group and send to all in one go.

Hey folks.

Read in XDA, in many threads, that in the premium version of Rom manager you are able to download and flash a new kernel.

Apparently you go into Rom manger settings, enable "developer mode" then where you would usually download Cyanogen roms, you should also be able to download kernels for it.

My problem is this; I have the premium version of Rom Manager, I bought it about 2 weeks ago, I can go into settings but I don't have the option to enable "developer mode" just an enable "advanced mode"? I'm presuming they are the same but even after a restart it doesn't give me any options to download any kernels from anywhere?

I've emailed the dev but had no response in over a week so can anyone else help me?

Thanks in advance.

HTC Desire. Cyanogen 6.1.1 S-ON.
[Desire General] RaymondErasmus:
Why dont you just search for the Kernal you want, copy it to the root of your sd card ... at this stage you could use rom manager if you really want to to enter into recovery, select install zip from sd, select the kernal you downloaded and your sorted!!

There is really no reason to feel so bound to Rom Manager(although it may be useful at first) as you can do everything yourself and with more controll over your device.
[Desire General] x5starguerillaa:
Cheers man. That method would suite me best. Have you any tips on where I can get the kernels from outside of Rom manager?

Will they just come as a zip file ready to be flashed?

HTC Desire. Cyanogen 6.0.2. S-ON
[Desire General] RaymondErasmus:
Search here on xda, if you want cynogen specific kernals and advise on which kernals give the best performance, battery life etc i would suggest you have a look at the cynogen thread and ask around abit in there if anything isnt certain.

Yes they come as zip files already :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darktranquility18:
Hey,

So i got this vibrant off craigslist. I rooted it, installed root explorer and checked the efs folder and it had the nv_data files but the IMEI was 004999010640000. Now i know my nv_data file isnt the original one cuz i tried the repair_nv_data fix with absolutely no luck. No matter what i still get this fake IMEI. Completely different from the one on the back of my phone.

Is there any way to restore my original nv_data files or manually edit the IMEI number? I flash back to stock firmware using ODIN a=but it resulted in the exact same thing. My IMEI was this 004999010640000 number.

Really need help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
I have something you might be able to try (but want to you to look at something first).

I encountered a problem after an i9000 rom flash where something changed my product code in the nv_data file (captivate model). The generic imei was nothing new as i had often seen this using custom roms but a flash to stock always restored my original imei until the time my nv_data files were corrupted and showing the wrong product code.

Download SGS-Toolbox and check your product code....report results back here.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darktranquility18:
Hey thanks a lot for the reply. Uh yea just did that and i got this:

product code in nv_data.bin: i9000hkdkor. Lol thats totally wrong isnt it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
totally wrong.

give me some time as my fix was for the captivate and its codes......need to update/convert the changes to be applicable to your vibrant. Watch here and i will post a fix to try shortly.

In the meantime. Please do me a favor download Hex Editor Free from the market. Go ahead and make backups to external SD Card or if you don't have one create a temp efs backup folder on /sdcard (internal sd) (Backups of all nv_data files in your efs folder) even if they are wrong.

1. Use hex editor to open the backup of the nv_data.bin

2. Use the capacitive menu button on your phone and it will bring up your options....choose JUMP TO

3. enter 0188008 which takes you to line 188008 and tell me what the text to the far right reads (should read something like .4....K )

3. Scroll down to 00188010 and report text @ right

4. Scroll down to 00188018 and report text @ right

4. finally scroll down to line 188020 and also tell me what text is to the far right (i want to make sure product codes on the vibrant are located on same lines as the captivate)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darktranquility18:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
thanks just a little bit more info before i convert my fix.

Go back to those same lines in hex editor

There will 8 block of data between the line # and the text at the right that you reposted. Please post the #'s/letters for each corresponding block so i can ensure that i convert properly.

00188008 | | | | | | | | | .800...K

00188010 | | | | | | | | | OR....GT

00188018 | | | | | | | | | -I9000HK

00188020 | | | | | | | | | DKOR....

I will need the 2 digit/numeral codes in each of the boxes for the line above.

thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
sorry...i know thats a pain in the butt but once i have that data i think i can convert the fix to work for you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
disregard last post...i got the code from a health nv_data file so you just need to compare the data from those lines to your own and make corrections in Android Hex Editor.

I sent you detailed instructions in a PM. Please test it....if it works i will repost my ported fix to the general section.

let me know if something is unclear.

PS - Even in a custom rom this should correct your product code (tested in 2.2 code).

I was in stock 2.1 when i crafted and executed this fix the first time so i don't know if it will restore your imei in custom rom environment as when i had an invalid product code in 2.2 i still had right imei.

The imei number of the hardware must match the imei in the nv_data.bin file located in the efs folder of the phone.

He restored my original IMEI with the help of remote session and his Z3K box.

I'll recommend him very highly. Very professional and helpful.

But remember one thing:

You MUST provide him proof of the original IMEI in the form of the photo of IMEI sticker on the phone. Only then he will restore the IMEI.

He will NOT program a fake IMEI or clone IMEI.

Hello,

My phone was working OK for a few months after unlocking it, and I even flashed a Froyo custom ROM without any problems. Suddenly my phone lost mobile network connection.

I used the Galaxy S Unlock app on my Samsung Vibrant. I remember that one of the steps was to backup the EFS folder. I only have a nv_data.bin on a folder named after this app. My problem is that I couldn't find the original EFS folder with the file explorer (only inside /sdcard -> Galaxy S Unlock app folder), but Hex Editor seems to find a nv_data.bin at the parent directory but when I try to open it, Hex Editor says "Can not read file /efs/nv_data.bin". I opened the other one found in the app folder, changed the data, typed in the commands and then rebooted the phone, but it didn't work.

Am I doing something wrong at the Terminal Emulator? Where can I save the modified copy of the nv_data.bin? Is my IMEI number lost forever?

I will appreciate any help, you are my last hope :o
