Hi

Is it possible that I can change from model A8181 to A8182 via Software

Want use my european HTC Desire in Canada on Bell network

Please help me

ng xeno
[Desire General] :
My Desire (A8181) is now reported as a Desire HD (A9191) in the "About Phone" after flashing a Desire HD ROM. However, the model is still listed as "bravo" in some of Properties screen (e.g. in Quick System Info Pro).
[Desire General] ste1164:
I doubt it is possible. You can use your phone on the bell network you just wont get 3G.
[Desire General] zardoz99:
I have used my UK HTC Desire on a Fido SIM with no problems. However, as Fido do not allow a data plan on a pre-pay SIM with a non-Fido supplied phone, I cannot tell if mobile data would work.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
even if you could change the model number with software, it would be futile, you would still have a A8181 desire, so any H/W limitations with us networks would remain :confused:

i'm trying to flash my droid x using rsd and the 2.3.15 file. it was stuck on the M screen after trying to restore a backup. the battery level was also low so now for some reason it won't charge with a power cord. hooked up with the usb on my laptop, the green light is on acting like its charging at least but its been plugged in for an hour and when i get into the recovery menu to do the flash it says the battery is still to low to program. i'm confused. any advice asap!?!?!
[Droid X General] JoeyDVDZ:
If you had 2.3.32 or higher before the RSD, you may have hosed your phone. To my understanding, there's no rolling back. Good luck!
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
i have never got the rsd to even start working so it shouldn't be hosed. just not sure what is wrong. i've fixed this thing a million times from small issues. this is mind boggling though. have it plugged into the wall now, no green light just stock on the loader screen. if i unplug it and turn it on into the bootloader menu it still says low battery...
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
Two ideas come to mind.

* Go to VZW and have them charge your battery or ask a friend.

* there is a cut a usb cable method that could get a bit messy.

Once the battery is up then attack the "M" issue such as a battery pull and button hold. A SBF may be in store no big deal.

Once you up and running again start looking at the newer update SBF such as .320 or .340

:cool::cool:
[Droid X General] brandon2x:
fixed. thread can be deleted.
[Droid X General] bigrobsrt4:
I ran into this last night. I ended up pulling the battery out and wiring up an old usb cable to the pins on the droid x. The outside pin on the charging port side is (+) (red from usb cable) and the outside pin towards the sd card is (-) (black from usb cable). This tricked the bootloader into thinking it was connected to a fully charged battery. At this point I installed the drivers 4.6.0 and RSDLite 4.8 onto a windows xp computer. I connected the droid to power, held down vol -, camera, and power to get it booted to the bootloader. Once in the bootloader it said battery fully charged connect data cable. I connected the data cable, let windows load the drivers and then RSDlite flashed back to VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf which fixed the phone.

Quick question, every time I send a picture message to someone no matter what service provider all of them say that there its never a picture attached or

It says unsupported file type..and rarely actually sends them an actual picture I've tried it with the stock messaging app, handcent, go sms, and that seems to make no difference at all.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, or when I get pictures finally they are smaller than a thumbnail.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
You guys need to be a bit more specific: Are you stock or rooted, which rom.. etc etc etc

If you're stock - you need to make sure you're using T-mobile's APN, not simple mobile or telkila or whatever else is there. This can be found under menu ->settings->wireless networks ->mobile networks

If you're rooted on CM - you need to try changing you user string. In MMs app its under menu->settings->custom user-agent.

Good luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br00x:
Stock, no ROM and yes rhee son is on tmo.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Call T-mobile, although they most likely will give you the standard response about doing factory reset, etc, etc

I am just not sure why would it do with correct settings on stock rom and I don't use sms/mms to run into it myself. May be someone else can shed a light?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highv0ltage:
What should the custom agent be though?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholasb:
you need to fix your APN settings.

[Captivate General] pwnnoobies:
My captivate recently stopped working out of the blue. I had rooted using One Click Lag Fix and sideloaded a couple of apps using the Android Central sideloader, but aside from that I haven't done any major modding. I turned it on the other day and it went through the AT&T screen to the Galaxy S screen, but it froze there for about ten minutes. I pulled the battery and tried it again but the same thing happened.

I called AT&T and they sent me a new Captivate. I now have two questions.

1) Is there any way to get my contacts off of my old Captivate? They were NOT synced with Gmail.

2) Should I flash the stock ROM onto my old Captivate that I am sending back to AT&T? I am worried about them saying that it is out-of-warranty because it was rooted.

PLEASE HELP
[Captivate General] freerider_4life:
Yes absolutely put it back to stock or they most likely will charge you for a new phone. You're going to wanna remove all traces of rooting as that is a violation of the warranty and you will not receive any warranty work, repair or

Replacements.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Sad to say but no. Your contacts can't be recovered if you can't boot the phone.

Yes flash stock before you send it back. You should also find that it may boot once you do, if it does then you might be able to get your contacts back.

On a side note. Should always flash stock before calling att as it will normally fix your issue.
[Captivate General] pwnnoobies:
oh okay. i had seen in posts that people are sending their phones back in rooted and not having issues. sometimes.

where can i find out how to do that?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Can you get into download mode or recovery by the 3 button combos?
[Captivate General] pwnnoobies:
Yeah I can get it into Samsung Recovery.
[Captivate General] pwnnoobies:
so is it simple?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Ok do a search for Odin one click in the devolpment section it will be easy to find then follow the directions.
[Captivate General] pwnnoobies:
will i have any problems because i used One Click Lag Fix? I read that it changes the file system or something on the kernel.

Has anyone with the Bell version I9000M tried flashing the JPY rom with some success??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Yup.

Been running it since it came out.

No issues yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnlee_1986:
how did you upload it to your phone??

Odin?

Kies registry hack?

And if you used Odin, did you just upload the .tar file? or did you use a .pit file as well?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason709:
Did you go from JL2 to JPY?

I tried with no success. I am very new at this however.

I downloaded JPY from samfirmware

My steps (without success):

Open Odin

Put phone in download mode

Connect phone - Odin recognizes the connection

Browse to JPY tar file as the PDA

Re-Partition is unchecked

Auto Reboot is checked

F. Reset Time is checked

Do not select a PIT file

After some time, Odin reports success (i.e. PASS!), the phone reboots and the only thing that is shown is the sprite graphic (like an asterisk). It keeps flashing on and off. If I pull the USB connection, I get the SGS logo flashing on and off.

Did I miss something?

Using the steps above, I can successfully re-flash JL2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daylefmp:
That would be due to the SBL in JL2... You need to flash an older SBL, or make sure your new ROM includes an SBL, and click the bootloader tickmark box in ODIN...

I found that I couldn't go backwards once I flashed JL2 with Kies... flashed a different kernel (speedmod) and was able to flash a new rom again...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason709:
Thanks for your help daylefmp. I'll take your recommended approach and try seeARMS XXJPY as mentioned above.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coldflid:
I used to have it until i got darky's gingerbread. I did it with Odin.

First you need to get the JPU and then the JPY. I did it that way.

It won't work because you need the JPU. For the jpu you need the 512 pit, the phone and CSC files.

Just ask if you need them
[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnlee_1986:
So, what your say is, you can't go straight from JL2 to JPY?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Biffin:
I flashed from SpeedMod to Darky's without any issues. I am using an unlocked phone with Rogers, and I did not need to flash a different modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coldflid:
I havent tried, but i guess you cant. Better if you try JPU and then JPY, less risky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
Yea been running Darky's rom for quite some time. I was running JPX and JPY before that. Once you go to 2.2.1, 2.1 isn't good enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coldflid:
Not even official 2.2 is good enough for 2.2.1 LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
The steps I took to go to 2.2.1 are as follows:

Rom: Darky's 7.7 Wipe

Kernal: Speedmod K12F

Modem: Stock JL2

I was on Stock JL2 through Kies.

Step 1: I used ODIN 1.7 to flash speedmod k12h (make sure you get the odin version). In Odin, don't checkmark anything, leave it as default. Click on "PDA" and then choose the Speedmod file you downloaded. Click Start and it should automatically reboot. The purpose of this step is to get you ClockWorkMod (CWM) quickly.

Step 2: Now that you have CWM, boot back into recovery (3 button method). You can now install custom zipped roms. I chose Darky 7.7 Wipe. You should have it already on your sdcard. You go through the CWM menu, choosing install from sd card. Pick Darky's ROM and let it do it's thing. Reboot when it's completed.

Step 3 (Optional): Once your phone is booted back up, if you want the Speedmod kernal, you should download the latest version but this time get the CWM one, not the Odin copy. Boot back into CWM (you can do this by holding the power button and you'll see a new option labelled "recovery". Same as step 2, install from sd card. Pick the speedmod k12h zip file. Reboot when done. You can go check the speed mod thread and learn about what tweaks you can enable and activate.

Step 4: Now I have Darky 7.7 Rom and Speedmod K12H Kernal. I need a 850mhz modem. I reboot into download mode (I can do this again by holding down the power button while booted into my phone and seeing 'download). I plug it into Odin. I download the latest JL2 firmware (you can find it in one of the sticky threads) I unzip it and in Odin, again, don't check mark anything. Chose "Modem" Pick the "modem.bin" from the JL2 folder you just unzipped. Click Start. Presto. It'll reboot on it's own

Step 5: You now have Darky 7.7 (or any other rom), Speedmod K12H (if you felt like it) and JL2 Modem. But you still don't have 850mhz. You have to enable it in the service menu. Easiest method is to install SGS Info, if you have Darky's Rom it is installed by default. Open SGS Info, here are the steps:

1) Service Menu

2) [2] Debug Screen

3) [8] Phone Control

4) [7] Network Control

5) [8] Band Selection

6) [2] WCDMA Band

7) [1] WCDMA All [] <-- before you click this, you'll notice that the [4] WCDMA 900 has a * next to it. Once you click on [1] WCDMA All [] you should see [5] WCDMA 850 now checked, as well as the 2100 and 1900.

Done! 2.2.1, Darky's 7.7 Rom (excellent btw!), Speedmod K12H (also excellent) and JL2 Modem which i've tested GPS and i get locked in seconds and is very accurate.

To ensure you have 850mhz enabled. open your dialer and type *#*#0011#*#* and you should see 850 Band 5 under the WCDMA section.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
When I flashed the JL2 Modem it gave me 850MHz, I did not have to do Band selection.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
Cool. Which Rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Biffin:
Thanks very much for the info on how to combine SpeedMod with Darky's :) When upgrading to a new version of Darky's or SpeedMod, should I just run the new update under CWM instead of Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hburn:
I have the ugjl2 with k12h500hz does it really worth it to go to darky 2.2.1 i like the way it is right now but if 2.2.1 really increase performance ill flash it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cytherean:
@Kewjoe

Thanks for the step by step. I'm on stock 2.2 JL2 (Bell) and want to go on to Darky's 7.7. Would you be able to post the links for correct speedmod k12h kernel (Odin version and CWM version)? I've seen it in one of the threads, but there are a couple to choose from and I want to make sure I get the correct ones.

Thanks.

this is a noob question but how do u put on the jl2 modem on darkys? ... i cant seem to find how to get 850 working in my phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Biffin:
You have to use Odin, and flash only the JL2 modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
On Darky v7.8 and I love it. I tried Darky v7.7 and Doc's ROM but I think Darky v7.8 is probably the best. Darky v7.7 had a lot of bloatware compared to v7.8, and v7.8 looks better than Doc's - so v7.8 is what I went with. All of these ROMs above BLOW away JL2. JL2 was extremely laggy in app scrolling and didn't have the look or functionality of the custom ROMs.

JL2 Modem, flashable with ClockworkMod Recovery that's included with Darky's ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html

You'll see there are several under the CWM section. The difference in 256hz vs. 500hz is that 500hz is supposed to be a bit smoother at the expense of some battery life. I've used the 500hz version exclusively so I can't comment on the difference between the two. I figured, I'm not far from a plug usually so if my battery life dips, it's not a big deal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
Hey, that's great. Saves me from having to do it in Odin every time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
I do it under CWM.

can anyone who is running darkys 7.8 tell me if their sd fried.... i tried it 4 different times over the day... seems to hang sooner or later :S....

also which version of speedmod did u use... and what tweaks did you turn on?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lightarrow:
Hi guys,

I've been on darkys since dec 25 without any issues at all. Went from 7.6 to 7.7 to 7.8 (which is what I am using right now).

First i was scared to flash custom roms so i updated to JL2 with kies, worked great but I tought that the phone was still a little choppy so i decided to upgrade to a custom rom. My first issue was that 3e recovery was installed with JL2. I tried to revert to an older rom but it soft bricked the phone. I was forced to download JL2 from these forums and flash it in odin to recover. I then decided to flash SpeedMod Kernel over JL2 with odin to get CWM to be able to flash Darkys and Doc's rom. It worked great :). I even enabled voodoo lagfix in CWM to get some extra speed. I am also getting great battery with 3g or Wifi (Darkys 7.8 + JL2 modem)

Last night, i left the phone on sync and 3g and it drained 8% in 8 hours from 85% to 77%. With Wifi enabled it's even less battery, draiend 1 % in 5 hours on my desk today :)

The only thing is that i am getting Gapps force closed (twice now) but if i clear the cache it works fine after that.

Wish you guys the best and i really hope this one does not die on me again !!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cow_like_object:
I have a problem. I can connect to the 850 band and data works. But i can't send texts or make calls. Any idea whats wrong?

I'm running darky's 7.8 with speedmod k12h. I've tried both the jpy modem and also jl2 modem and they both have the same problem. If I disable 850 and only connect to 1900 everything works fine though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oldman1235:
so you need to put the put into download mod first? or
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
That's strange. What cell company are you with? Bell? and I assume you have a i9000m?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kewjoe:
I just went to the latest version lastnight. Working great. I did it in the following order 1. Darky's 8.0 Wipe in CWM 2. R64 horizontal battery mod in CWM 3. speedmod K12I CWM 4. JL2 Modem in CWM (thanks cloudrainstar!)

Then went into the SGS Info to change it to 850. Restored all my apps from Titanium Backup and I am now back up and running. Phone feels even smoother than it did with 7.7 and K12H. Kind of hard to image :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
tempted to flash to JPY now...

Is it a major difference from JL2?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cow_like_object:
yeah thats right.

Actually, i found out that its only in certain places it doesnt work. When i'm at home, 850 is fine. but where i work, downtown edmonton, it doesnt. It is kind of erratic downtown, sometimes data will work on 850, other times it will just say emergency calls only. I'll probably try a friend's sim card sometime.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] montrealguy:
I think I have lost my mind. I decided to take a leap of faith and installed Darky's 8.0 without the lagfix on my laggy JL2 (with a GPS that never locked onto anything)

I turned it on and these amazing fireworks started blowing up on my screen. The fireworks disappeared and I was greeted by a operating system out of a Star Trek movie. AND THEN out of the blue, my I9000M phone leapt out of my hands and started doing cartwheels.

I grabbed it back and downloaded GPS Status. It detected TWELVE satellites in 10 seconds!

I must be on mushrooms.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cytherean:
I think I'm getting addicted to ROMs; tried Darky's and ran that for a few days, then came across DenaVil's and loaded that on this morning. Looking forward to trying SeeARMS' next.

Before loading, i've removed the lagfix and did factory reset/cleared all cache/davik and battery. I still end up with some residual leftovers not sure how to or if I should format the internal SD so I've got clean system but so far so good.

I'm with Bell so I've decided to flash the JL2 modem(ODIN) and then made sure to re-enable the 850 band. As well I've followed a few posts suggesting how to tweak the GPS and I'm getting much better results than before. (thanks seeARMS' and many others).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
Yeah I did not really have good results with Darky's rom to be honest.

I might try Doc's

Going to flash back to JL2 first and then factory wipe.
