[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MaxiJavi:
I thought it was, open to interpretation I guess ;-)

I would say that if you are not sure ... You should not do anything blindly.

If indeed KIES is releasing out the protected bootloaders (which I didn't think it was, yet), then you would end up with a Tab that is currently impossible to update with custom firmwares (something that I for one would want to do).

So from that perspective I would say that KIES is now NOT SAFE for me :-)

Call that a scare campaign, but I want a device I can tinker with as much as possible.

But has KIES actually started to update Tabs with the protected bootloaders ?

This would be new information, and I would have to stand corrected ... Sorry.

Either way, KIES wasn't giving me the option to upgrade from my early october firmware, so upgrading to an open and up-to-date firmware seems like a safe choice :-)

Anyway ... I am happy that you are happy with your locked bootloader ...

If it was me I would be really upset, and I would try to return the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wmwamidi:
These apparently blocked bootloaders are not a product of any hacker any place around. Samsung IS rolling them out, could be to address concern about keeping Android Open and NOT so open. So that the question which Android? can be answered unanimously, rather than Samsung's Android, LG's Android and the other guy's Android. This is taking a cue from the likes of Apple iOS and RIM. There is no other iOS, and no other Blackberry. It could be a bad trend but let's face it: that is what is happening everywhere...look at all the patents Apple has registered recently! The trend IS worrying because one day I might wake up unable to root my device and do the little things that we all cherish!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
I prefer to be the prophet of doom than the merchant of doom. My firmware IS special, it allows folks to run the newest firmwares if they choose to, and yet have the option of rolling back to stock or choosing CyanogenMod when that becomes available.

You, sir, are stuck with official Samsung firmware. I am not. I have choices, you do not.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Alcibiade:
What is being mentioned in this thread is not the firmware you can download through Kies... What was advised not to be flashed is the firmware posted in the thread (Coming from Samfirmware I believe)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wmwamidi:
Great Roto, your firmware IS indeed special. It allows people to upgrade and "role back" to stock". I guess that is the catch: role back to stock and get STUCK as you put it. The question is how long will it take. Samsung is preparing a Gingerbread and Honeycomb role out that includes, oops, protected bootloaders. The old unblocked bootloaders might not load these new ROMs! I believe your users won't be really happy about it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wmwamidi:
The thread points to a fus.samsungmobile.com location.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Why? My users have the choice to flash a protected bootloader at any time. I sure am happy about that, as are my users.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamish909:
I have done S-OFF, PermRoot and currently overlocking on my unbranded European Desire Z, but I need to send it back to HTC to repair my phone with some hardware issue under warranty.

What do I need to do? I have seen some guides here but they are all for the T-Mobile G2, and am worried if I follow it it will brick my unbranded European Desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blubberor:
Just unroot and use an official image! Then everything should be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
BAD. NO. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

Flash a stock rooted rom first, THEN follow unrooting steps. There's a thread around here somewhere.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It's only bad if you have S-OFF only via the eng hboot (not gfree), and if you are trying to downgrade your ROM.

If you have S-OFF via gfree then you're fine, just flash the stock ROM back on. Then undo gfree via its options to set S-ON (see the Wiki).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamish909:
Unfortunately my phone used the S-Off and Root using the old 'hBoot' method I followed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9143423&postcount=3

So what should I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
What ROM are you running exactly ? If you are still on the stock ROM, and you flash the exact same version back, it will be ok.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamish909:
I've made no mods prior to this. It was a brand new Desire Z so it was all stock.

Then I did the following:

Rooted and s-off via engineering hboot

Installed Visionary and applied Permroot

Installed ROM Manager for Clockworkmod

Flashed gtrab's godspeed 1.4ghz module via Clockworkmod

How should i go about this now?

Thanks.

I'm not trying to hijack your thread so please know that but I want to make sure. I thought I could just use the unroot thread to unroot (thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835971) should I need to but it seems as if I need to flash a rom now looking in this thread so just to make sure:

1) I rooted my phone via this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965

2) I installed clockwordmod and made a backup.

That's it! I'm going to freeze some apps in a min using Titanium but not uninstall them.

SO... question is, should I need to send my G2 back, what unrooting steps should I take exactly? thanks!

Hi !

Please appologize my poor english. I'll try to do my best. I a newcomer in DHD universe.

I've :

- rooted my DHD with Visionary

- added S-OFF with scripts

- installed Rom Manager and patched recovery mode with Clockworkmod.

... At this time, can I install custom roms ?

Because I don't understand stuff about "fastboot". I've done nothing with it. Only the three things above.

Thank you for your answers... I don't want to brick my phone :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mero01:
You have done well so far buddy :)

I would highly recommend using Apache14's radio s-off and superCID. And doing a backup through clockwork mod before trying anything.

One done all that Just download the zip from whatever ROM you would like and flash with clockworkmod.

Happy & safe flashing :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zepretender:
Thank you !

But... what is this "Apache14's radio s-off and superCID" ??? Is it a custom rom ? I've just installed "Revolution HD" and it works perfectly. Do I need to do something else ?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean2390:

It would be nice....
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
Would be :) But DFT always uploads only English and Chinese. I prefer English :)

I would offer to take the closest lang files from any available rollup - last few months there is not so many changes in lang files - just compare correspondent English langs from old and new build in Restorator and add new items from new English mui to your old German ones if necessary.

That's the way how my Russian colleagues always do.

[Windows Mobile] TAEL:
You can sort it to VK by TehPenguin's tool easily. (search for dump sorter)
[Windows Mobile] 3|Saint|5:
I used those files from that link and my rom came out really corrupted. So i used a 23568 that was posted for wvga here on xda and used the vga res files from 23566 instead of the wvga files in the 23568 package i downloaded.

just fyi: that files are prepared for the ppckitchen, and the attributes are modified. If you want to use it for vk, you need to modify the CreateBuildRom.bat.
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
Hi folks.

I'm trying to unroot my Wildfire in order to get the OTA update of the official FroYo release.

The problem is, I keep getting the below error message every time I run the RUU.

I'm using:

Windows XP Professional (SP3)

HBOOT drivers installed

HTC Sync uninstalled (registry clean has been carried out)

Correct RRU (UK TMOBILE) downloaded

Phone set to Disk Drive AND Sync (without software on there).

The current ROM is MoDaCo's 2.1 Stock build.

Has anyone else had this problem who can give me a heads up? It's starting to get on my nerves as I just want normal FroYo.

If no one has a solution, can someone provide the stock UK TMOBILE 2.1 Eclair ROM that I can flash with instead?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
[Wildfire General] gimj01:
Flash the RUU for Froyo...instead using 2.1...

Phone must be set to "charge only" and enable USB debugging...
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
USB debugging is activated.

And I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile 2.1 RRU, which is where I get the error.

::EDIT::

When I use the RUU for the unbranded 2.2 then I don't get the above error ... I get error 131 - Customer ID Error.
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
Bump to the top...

...would really like some help, folks. I know I'm being pushy, rude, and other things, but surely someone's come across this before?!
[Wildfire General] gimj01:
You don't have to put your phone in disk drive mode...did you check?
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
I've tried it in Charge Only, Disk Drive and Sync.
[Wildfire General] gimj01:
It seems to be a system error...in my opinion if you run that RUU in any other computer will be ok...
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
Please don't take this the wrong way - but if that's the advice you're going to give me after one day then I'd prefer you to not post.

If you could READ my original post, I've tried it on Windows XP Professional (SP3) and Windows 7 Professional (x64).

NEITHER worked.
[Wildfire General] gimj01:
Sorry...I did'n notice that you tried 2 different systems...I can't find this in your post...
[Wildfire General] rommi0:
I had the same problem. The RUU installation file did not download completely. Compare the file size on your computer and on the shipped roms website.

I think this will solve your problem.
[Wildfire General] Mowg1i:
If you bother to search instead of needlessy bumping your own thread and snapping at people who are trying to help you would of discovered by now that the 131 error code is related to the gold card.
[Wildfire General] Markerton:
Yes, I noticed that it was due to it not downloading correctly.

However, my problem thickens...

I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile RUU from Shipped-ROMS, but now it's displaying error 140. This is because my recovery is of a different version (or something).

Any ideas? I can't use the GoldCard method as I don't have a Micro SD adapter.

And sorry for snapping at that poor bloke - I realised that that was completely out of order. So, if you're reading this, please accept my apology:

Sorry, fella.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

[Epic 4G General] thesawolf:
Well.. not all into outer space, made it to near space up to 101,001 feet. Sent my Epic (running Mammon's Bonsai DK28 rom, btw :) ) along with a Moto Backflip for video recording, still photos, and GPS data logging, up in a high altitude weather balloon (along with a Geocache) from North Carolina, USA Saturday morning around 933AM EST, It traveled about 124 miles away, reached a max altitude of 101k feet whereupon the balloon burst and landed safely via parachute around 1148AM. Got some pics uploading if anyone wanted to see them over at: gaia.terrasunder.org

I think my Epic is pretty damn EPIC now :) So.. what did you do with your Epic this past weekend?

The Epic was set to take 720p videos in segments every few minutes (will be uploading them to our website later after we've rotated the vids) and then took 3MP pics in between (a number of which are already in the gallery area). Because it was a cloudy day the pics we had weren't all spectacular (lots of cloud pics) but they still convey alot of the trip. The Moto Backflip (another android) that went along for the ride took still shots every 10 secs in addition to logging all GPS data for more precise tracking after recovered.

Wow, that's about as Epic as one could expect as far as travelling goes...

I'm a fellow geocacher and was curious what the geocache part was in this adventure. And what app are you using for caching? I still use my trusty etrex legend but would like an android replacement for it if its good enough.

As for what I did with my epic, I looked at it at wondered why its creator was neglecting it...

sent by an Epic4g through the cosmos
[Epic 4G General] thesawolf:
Part of the payload was a Geocache (a flare tube with logs, 3 trackable Founder gnome tags donated by Groundspeak, a Travelbug, a Geocoin and a pathtag or 2). We tethered the cache to the bottom of the payload (which can be seen from the still camera Motorola Backflip I mounted at the bottom of the payload). Once it landed, we went to retrieve it and was able to get permission from the landowner to leave it where it landed. We enabled the cache as a multi-cache (first stage is a plaque at the launch site with coords to landing site), final stage is right at the landing site (about 124 miles tho). You have the final coords, but can go to the first stage if one was so inclined for posterity's sake. We even got Geocache of the Week on the Latitude 47 blog ( blog.geocaching.com ) :D

As for apps, I was using C:geo for a bit but ended up using the official groundspeak app since it's gotten alot better with the direction integration, logging and searching (will even pull down your pocket queries straight into the app), etc. along with a standalone Compass app (one of the nicer ones with multiple compass views including a GPS-enabled compass). Otherwise, I normally use a Garmin Dakota20 for more accurate and active caching, although with the latest GPS fixes on the FroYo roms, I've been able to use my Epic for that more and more since the accuracy level has been really good as of late.
[Epic 4G General] raiderep:
Nice! The first cache that I've ever heard of that's been in space, or atleast that high of an altitude. I'm tempted to do a long distance caching trip now(cali here). And that being cache of the week is a no brainer, very well thought out. Way to represent the world of caching and android all in one shot!

It doesn't compare but I got a little android and caching story. I took a shot of a travel bug with my samsung moment next to a toy robot that was hanging out in the parking lot near where I was going to send it back on its travels. Caching is just like a adventure everytime, love it!

Edit: I just tried c:geo and it looks like its going to work until I get the dough for the official groundspeak one, thanx

Hi!

ive done all this last summer, and it all works fine.

but i wonder if android will work if you have the original WM6.5 insted of Chucky, and other costum ROM?

i mean, the customs are really ugly, and i never use them on dual boot - but i would use WM6.5 if i had the original one, with sense and everything.

the dual boot would be more useful. now i only use android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] despy1989:
Updated, Thanks for that. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] despy1989:
I agree with you on that. The stock ROM work fine (check my sig) and to be honest I tried the custom ROMs but felt more comfortable with the Stock ROM. It means less messing around with your phone!

Its most important however that your Radio is compatible though. If its not then there is no choice but to Flash a new Radio ROM.
