Hi All.

I have a H6 phone (2 sims, tv, wifi, gps). It came with 2.2.1, but, I had a problem with it, there wasn't my language supported.

So, i read a lot of about it, and I found, I need to edit/change framework-res.apk, so, I found another one which have more language, but that one is for 2.2 (it came with galaxy 3 firmware), so, I moved the original to my sd, and I installed the new one with adb (of cource my phone was already root-ed with z4root), so after that, reboot, but the phone stuck on boot logo.

After that I made an update.zip, which contained the old framework-res.apk, I signed it, and I thought I can restore my original state, but, after the installation (of update.zip) started, it show install aborted, so after that, when I switch it on, my phone it going into recovery automaticly, I can't do anything else just apply update zip.

What can I do now? How can I repair my phone?

Thank a lot

After a few russian, and chinese site's reading (thanks for google translator ;) ), I found this site: www . pandawillforum . com/viewthread.php?tid=3621 I hope it will help me, and maybe others. I bought a flash cable (I hope it arriving soon), and than we will see, what happening ;).

p.s.: Now I tried to rename "20101224 (h6_22_update) signed.zip" to update.zip, and, update via recovery menu, the update started, and the same thing happened, but now, after the reboot, the phone seems to boot normally (I mean not going to recovery menu anymore), but, the boot screen stuck, unfortunately I can't reach the adb :(.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Well, I already offered myself to create a custom recovery for the H6. The problem is that with the official recovery you are not allowed to flash any update.zip files other than the ones that are signed with manufacturer's signature.

Don't you have the original ROM for your device? In order to create the custom recovery image, I need the boot image from your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pcz:
Ohh, I understand now, why was it unsuccessfully :(.

Well, my device now have (and had when I bought) the original rom 2.2.1, and I think (because as you said the signature wasn't from manufacturer) nothing changed expect the framework-res.apk.

How can you boot image from my device? How can I download it? Or what I have to do to fix it?

Thank you for your helping.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
If you have the official ROM then you can send me boot.img.

One thing I didn't understood is if you have your phone working at the moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pcz:
Well, I have the original one, but unfortunately my phone doesn't boot up anymore :(, so I can't send it for you. After my flash cable arriving, I vill flash the firmware back, so than I can send you my boot.img.

Anyway, Thank you for your helping. I'll let you know if there are any news ;).

Flashing of h6 does not work help me please

please someone can help me solve this problem, this post is published in pandawill put it here in the hope that someone help me, thank you in advance for your help

Flashing of h6 does not work when following the process described here.

I used a H6 that lost IMEIs after a factory reset - a situation thousands proud owners of such a phone seem to face as well without being provided a feasable remedy solution.

I'm using a PC with Windows XP SP3. I've downloaded and installed the H6 firmware files from your site. These files are defintely Windows files. They do not work on other OSs like Linux.

I've also installed the Prolific 2303 USB-to-Serial Comm Port drivers as one of the usb plugs of the special flash cable provided by you holds a Prolific 2303 chip in it. Otherwise the cable is not detected at all on my machine.

Starting the Flash Tool to flash my phone gets me a first error message "S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL(1011)" in the status line. Removing the battery and re-inserting it starts the tool nevertheless. Formatting of NAND works fine (four cicles: DA-FR-DA-DL) but then two error messages "ANDROID ERROR" and "can not find usb port" appear and the Flash Tool stops.

It seems that the Flash Tool is only working when the special Android USB drivers are installed as requested for a Windows machines to properly communicate with Android Smartphones

As my phone has now a fully formatted NAND the phone does not power up at all and therefore cannot be detected as an Android phone by my windows machine anymore. Thus I cannot install the Android USB drivers either.

Fact is that I'm now stuck with a completely dead phone and a flashing process that does not work.

What solution can you provide me to this situation. Thank you.

In zip are 2 versions of the software. People usually flash v06 and its ok, but for my phone it was the 08 version. Flash version 06 first, if your camera is working your ok, if your camera is not working flash 08.

Hey the other day I was trying out the galaxy tab and came across something interesting. I noticed that there was a little brightness bar in the little notification bar. Is it possible someone could find a way to do this so theme developers and rom devs can add this in? thanks.
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Could you describe this a little better? With the Epic you already can control the brightness by holding your finger on the status bar for a moment and then sliding it left or right for less or more brightness. Is it just an indicator that the Galaxy Tab has?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Yes I understand but the brightness bar is like the one in the settings, but just in the notification bar. I know you can do the sliding thing you really don't get to see where the brightness is, and you never seem to get the brightness to 100% that way. I just thought this would be a nicer feature

[HTC Aria General] ninestraycats:
Hi,

I used Unrevoked's one-click Mac .app to root my Aria. I can boot into Recovery fine, but perhaps pertinently (perhaps not) there's a weird loop I can't get out of: (bottom of post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829439)

Anyways, I installed CM6.1-Liberty afterwards using ROM Manager. Now I would like to delete the News and Weather application, but I'm finding it difficult:

I've tried with the Super Manager application, a ROOT manager. It has SuperUser permissions, it tried to mount /system as R/W when I navigate to it, but when I rename the .apk file, the file retains its old name.

I've also tried booting into Recovery, mounting /system from the Partitions menu, then using the Terminal Emulator to do 'mv /system/app/blah.apk /system/app/blah.apk.bak.' But mv complains that the directory is not empty! (are .apk's even considered directories?)

Is something messed up with my ROM? Anything else I can try?
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
With the phone in recovery and /system mounted, using terminal try navigating to the actual /system/app folder and then removing the .apk. Not sure if its the same as windows, which is the rm command.

rm application.apk
[HTC Aria General] ninestraycats:
It worked! Booted into Recovery, mounted /system, connected via USB, opened up an adb shell, and was able to move the desired apk.

I tested this moving HtcLockScreen.apk on my Liberated ROM. Will try to move the News & Weather application on the CM ROM too, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks!!!
[HTC Aria General] ninestraycats:
All good. Thank you so much.

I've gotta wonder now: what is it about Recovery that lets you do this? I can't find much (if any) hard info on Recovery online, or hboot/fastboot for that matter. It's a little annoying having to power down my phone to adb stuff around, then powering back up.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I think it had to do with the fact that the aria is an s-on device (don't quote me on that). Whatever it is, the system can't be modified while android is running on the aria, so you have to boot into recovery to do it.
[HTC Aria General] GroovyGeek:
Not quite... You can put Titanium Backup into "Chuck Norris" mode and it will let you delete some system apps. Another easy way to achieve the same is to unzip the ROM, delete the .apk and .odex files you do not want, rezip it and re-flash. Bingo... the stuff you do not want is gone. You need to know what you are deleting though, some stuff is used by the system and other apps.
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
For anyone else whos wondering how to delete a non-uninstallable apk this is how I usually do it on windows (should be the same on mac too.)

- boot into recovery

-open new command promp

-adb shell mount /system

-adb shell rm -r /sysytem/app/apkname.apk

done and done, note letter case matters in apk name.
