Great theme guys. Love everything except the mobile data arrows (3g and H etc). A bit too big for my liking but can live with it. Well done to all involved.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Oijkn:
Hi, I will take a look in it thanks for the feedback. The reason is because i'm in wifi mode @ 99% of time, I don't use 3G ^^

Edit: I have just tested and the icon of 3G seems to be normal, no ? Put a screenshot with description please.

Yo !

should I do a wipe before installing the 2.5 over the 2.4? What is the procedure please?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Oijkn:
Hi, you have to flash the main theme at first and if you want to use the Addon PCW you have just to flash it after the main theme. The script will clean automatically the cache & dalvik-cache !!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Siddhartha69:
Hi,

I wan't to add a new key in /res/keys to be able to sign update.zip files that will be verified OK by the recovery.

It seems the utility dumpkeys.jar is done for this, but I don't currently have the environement to compile Android and cannot manage to compile the DumpPublicKey.java file alone.

Would any ROM makers post me the dumpkeys.jar (it's in system/core/libmincrypt/tools ) ?

Or any other utilities that can put the public key in good format...

Or any other way to achieve this (I don't wan't to change the boot loader except if there is no other solutions).

Thanks.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnlrogue1:
Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:

I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.

Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".

If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris016:
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file

"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)

"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing

what HBOOT are you on??

EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".

WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnlrogue1:
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week

Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoreOxide:
I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.

The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnlrogue1:
Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!

Thank you for your help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnlrogue1:
Bingo!

Think I've nailed it now!

I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!

To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!

Think I may skip CM6.1...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] knopper123:
I have same ques. too.. And which is best rom for my sgs..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fizzig:
Depends on what you want to do with your phone and what risks you are prepared to take. There is always a risk flashing your phone will 'brick' it i.e. make it unusable. If you flashed via Kies as this is official Samsung you're covered for a replacement phone by the warranty.

Odin is an unofficial program supporting unofficial upgrades, i.e. brick you're phone with this and if you don't know what you're doing you're stuffed. People at Xda are helpful but it can mean the death of you're phone.

Advantages - you choose the ROM / software you want. No bloat-ware from carrier. Generally cooked ROM's have sorted the 'lag' problem which slows most versions of the Galaxy S (even on Froyo 2.2). They are generally upgraded faster too but don't seem as common for Galaxy S as for HTC phones (someone please feel free to contradict me). ROM Manager app from the market should be able to download Cyanogen mod (supposed to one of the best) when it's finished for the Galaxy S.

I couldn't get Odin to work on Win7 64bit so I went for the official 2.2 update via Kies then used a 'lagfix' downloaded via the market (which also invalidates your warranty...). RyanZA (OCLF on market) worked for me really well on Android 2.1 but haven't tried version 2 with Froyo 2.2. I used a Voodoo oneclick lagfix but there's something going on between the developers and it was removed from the market. You may still be able to get the apk app file to install from SD card if you Google it but I can't find it. I used this and it worked really well.

Anyway, if you know this already my apologies. There's lots of other's here who know much more than I do but thought I'd share my limited experience so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hell_storm2004:
I am guessing that the the Kies (I haven't installed it yet), needs a steady internet connection.

The Odin wont need it, since i am already downloading all the data to my PC.

If this is correct... i think i should try out the Odin, as my internet connection is too unreliable and gets disconnected every so often.

Also,

1. How would the Samsung people know that I have used Odin or Kies?

2. If I have installed Lagfix and i uninstall lagfix before taking it to Customer Service would they be able to find out?

Pretty newbie questions, but i hope you will clarify! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fizzig:
First Kies completes the download before flashing your phone the same as Odin and your phone stores a record of the latest ROM / Kernal installed on it. It's under 'Settings' - 'About Phone'... See Firmware, Baseband and Kernal and Build Number.

Some lagfixes do have uninstalls so should be OK if uninstall works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hell_storm2004:
Ok. I'll go for Froyo with Kies. When Gingerbread becomes official then i'll take on Odin.

I'll have to look into lagfix. I have no clue which one's come with uninstall and which one's don't!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sean2476:
Personally I prefer Odin over Kies. Kies has bricked my phone twice and I have had issues getting Kies to recognise my phone. Before you decide to upgrade with either method make sure your 3 button combo works, if not then you really need to get this working as its your saving grace should something go wrong during or after a flash!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sean2476:
Always disable or uninstall a lagfix prior to upgrading.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hell_storm2004:
What is that??? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sean2476:
3 button combo puts your phone into download and/or recovery mode. Vol up/ down Home key followed by power button [holding all 3 at once] Vol up for recovery mode. Vol down for download mode. If this doesn't work then forget flashing until you get it working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TubeShaped:
imho Heimdall is the way to go. I wouldn't even install Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hell_storm2004:
Now that is new! :p

I only knew of two. Now in comes Hiemdall? This is confusing. Now I am from India. I have to check what my Operator is giving me! I may have to do Odin out of force rather than choice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fizzig:
You may also need to ' root' your phone too before you can apply any of these changes as otherwise the phone is locked down. Look for an app called z4root on xda. It opens up your phone to these other apps (there are other ways of rooting but they can be quite involved for someone new to Android).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
If you want to use Odin or Heimdal, & dont want to install Kies, check my signature for Samsung Drivers.

Install them & connect your phone to PC via USB & check if its recognized.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
A forewarning & a suggestion.

Kies is known to F**k up phones into unusable state. & so is Odin. Heimdal is pretty geeky for most people.

If you endup with a bricked phone, you can always act stupid & convince the service centre guys that Kies was the culprit. I have Bricked 2 of my friend's phones & have gotten them a brand new replacement from Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
Before you attempt anything switch off your phone completely, hold Vol up + Menu + Power buttons in that order. when the phone shows the samsung splash screen, release the power button for a second while still holding the other two. Again press it back & hold all three till it lands you in the recovery mode.

If your phone can do this, you can take any risk.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climdroid:
hi all,

I think I am starting to understand how things work with nv_data.bin.

I've been taking snapshopts of it from my device and it looks like nv_data.bin is modified at every reboot. On the other hand, .nv_data.bak doesn't seem to EVER change. It seems to be the initial backup. I don't know if kies or something else would edit it but at least flashing Darky's ROMs does not modify this file.

Now, I know for sure that nv_data.bin contains imei, product code, sales code (not sure which is which product/sales), unlock codes. But there's plenty of other information that changes at every reboot!

So, my first question is:

1) does anyone know what this file contains?

Then, I've read some people suggesting that the code can be changed by editing this file. However, the product code is also contained in a file in /system/csc/sales_code.dat

2) I am not sure, but I suspect that changes in this file might be reflected on nv_data.bin at the next reboot. Do you have any idea if this is true?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue163:
I am about to receive a new phone from Bell with JL2 pre-loaded and I need to unlock it for use on Rogers. I did some reading and it seems that you cannot extract the codes from the nv_data.bin on JL2, you either have to downgrade, or change 1 bit and write the file back. Also, there are some unusual claims being made, such as that even if you change the 1 bit then write the file back, later firmware updates will not re-lock your phone.

If this file was just part of the filesystem then Samsung should be able to write firmware updates that will replace it and would then re-lock your phone.

Am I correct in understanding that this "file" is not so much an actual file, but a filesystem representation of part of the cell chipset? That perhaps when we copy to/from this file we are working directly in the memory of the modem itself, and that the reason the different firmwares can or cannot retrieve the unlock codes is because of the different ways that the firmwares interact with the chipset itself?
