if you are on 1.72 without radio s-off and root prior to it, you can forget about flashing roms for now.

If you have radio s-off you can basically flash anything, always, so downgrading is possible as well.

I am on 1.72 as well with full root, s-off and custom rom installed.

Why I have 1.72 with root etc is because I waited for one of our much appreciated devs to include 1.72 in his custom rom, so I can flash it and keep root (if the Dev has this included in his rom, which they, as in this case, almost always include) :)
[Desire HD General] daysonp:
I plan to use this to root + s-off: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 And then NANDROID for the ROM backup.

Once I back up my ROM, I'm assuming the backup will be rooted to. So when I flash this backup back, it will still be rooted. I can't seem to find how to unroot it now? Could you point me to something I might have missed please? Also, removing s-off
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
I think u can unroot by flashing back a stock rom via RUU. But don't quote me on that.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
stock roms do not have root, so flashing stock rom will have you lose root.

If you have created a backup of your rooted phone's rom, restoring it, will leave root.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Without radio s-off you won't be able to flash an older ruu back onto the device. You will be stuck on the new one.

Once you are radio s-off you will need two things to get back to full stock.

1. The backup file generated by the radio s-off tool.

2. An official RUU.

Just running a stock ruu alone won't remove the radio s-off and if you send it back for warranty purposes they will still be able to see it was rooted by virtue of the fact you still have radio s-off.

Hmmm will flashing the undervolt and overclock 1.22ghz kernel affect battery life when OC-ed to 1.22ghz? And whats the difference in performance between the normal 1ghz and 1.22ghz other than the slight improvement in the quadrant score?
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
If your talking real world usage, barely noticable
[Wildfire General] aermua:
hi all

i got 3 branded wildfire and want to debrand it, before i do, is this the latest official rom to use?

RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35 .15.3

1_release_142189_signed.exe

i,m not bothered about rooting etc, just want stable unbranded phone

cheers
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Thats Eclair. If you want FroYo, there are safe ROM's (With just the HBOOT Removed) on the Wildfire Android Development Forum. (2.22.405 and 2.25.720)

That apart, if you want to stick with Eclair, 1.37 is the latest one.
[Wildfire General] aermua:
thanks for the reply

i,m not bothered about froyo yet as i,m sure that will be done automatically when times comes but for now i'll stick eclair.

is there a link or anything where i can get 1.37 to use for debranding similar to the 1.25 above.

cheers
[Wildfire General] aermua:
i think this is the latest eclair:

RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.

25_release_151892_signed.exe
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, that's the latest Eclair. But remember, if you do get Eclair, and then, get FroYo via the official OTA update, you will lose root capability.

It can be found here:

[Wildfire General] aermua:
hi

thanks for getting back to me, ermm i,m not really bothered about root.

as long as the phone is stable and works perfectly i,m happy, but i do understand i have to use unrevoked 1st so i can use the above rom.

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ShadowReaperGR:
Hello,

i am interested in developing and customising roms and firmware for smartphones. How should i start learning? What should i study?

Thank you and happy new year
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Newklearx3:
First things first , what does this mean system.out.println("you need to know some Java") ?

Don't google. If you don't know. Learn the basics then move on :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ShadowReaperGR:
I know how to program. I program in C/C++ and java.

As for my question, I didn't mean I want to develop apps for android. I want to learn more about low level stuff, hacking roms etc...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Newklearx3:
If you know "java" decompile a rom and check it out. There's several tuts around too.
[Defy General] sirdamnedone:
Hi,

I hate the search button i pressing always in gaming and other situation when i dont need the searching function, but this pop up every time.

Any solution to disable or remap this key? The button remapper dont work on defy i tried...

thx!
[Defy General] Muznyu:
I tried to remove Google Search and QuickSearch in Titanium Backup, it resulted a non-working search button (just vibrated). But... the phone became instable, so it wasn't a good solution. So I'm looking for a remapping option as well, mostly I want to define it as an end button for voice calls.
[Defy General] Nupfel:
Hi there,

I was struggling with the same problem as you.

What I did:

I followed [GUIDE] How to Remap Hardkey Actions || Custom App Launching (HTC HERO)

->

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Use Astro (or another File Manager) to copy all files from /system/usr/keylayout/ to /sdcard

Edit

umts_jordan-keypad.kl

sholes-keypad.kl

qwerty.kl

Change the keydefinitions in each for key 127 and 217 from

key 127 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

to

key 127 CAMERA

key 217 FOCUS

Save and using cp put the files back into /system/usr/keylayout

cp /sdcard/umts_jordan-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/umts_jordan-keypad.kl

cp /sdcard/qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

cp /sdcard/sholes-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/sholes-keypad.kl

Chmod (I took this and the mounting part from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893291, no idea if this is needed)

Chmod 755 /system/usr/keylayout/sholes-keypad.kl

Chmod 755 /system/usr/keylayout/umts_jordan-keypad.kl

Chmod 755 /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

reboot your phone and voila, you got your search-key reprogrammed to launch the camera on long-press.

Atm, the search-button just acts as camera and shutter button, Focus alone is not working, no idea why.

However, this is exacty what I wanted. I hope this helps you, too.
[Defy General] janeindiran:
I want to open app drawer when i press menu button is it possible??
[Defy General] Kayant:
It is possible

Edit - silly me don't see the above post by Nupfel

thanks for the link....

I got i different one to this working on my defy search key opens up recent apps :D

[Defy General] Kayant:
Ok I will upload my files in a bin just know i have a lot of mods on mine so you might not like it..... Hopefully it works for you

Download the files from here

Copy the systemui.apk to system/app

Copy the framework-res.apk, ext.jar, framework.jar to system/framework

Copy the qtouch-touchscreen.kl, sholes-keypad.kl to system/usr/keylayout

Change the permissions to rw-r-r

Reboot and enjoy :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ajaybnl:
My phone totally disappointed me when i was in a call.

it was on 2.2 V10B Rooted, with some call recorder and turn to mute software alongwith some other softwares.

It hangs and all button lights went on and off continuesly, also heared some random noise from the speaker.

i opened battery and restarted it.

Removed recording, turn to silent apps and now using.

Whats the problem?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
This is simply ridiculous.... >.<

picked up the phone after work

brand new phone 10.12, with stickers and everything, pristine condition.

it was loaded with JH2, proceeded to sim unlock the phone, done

signed up to my gmail account to enable Market downloads

downloaded my titanium backup pro, and proceeded to restore everything from backup.

great roughly 45 min later after restoring my tons of apps and games, things seems well.

next step, hooked it up to KIES

it works! wow! :eek:

immediately came up with the "new firmware blah blah blah..." (JL2) expected

I selected hit yes to continue, it installed JL2 perfectly.

rebooted all nice and tandy

but just in case, i decided to wipe everything, root 2.2, with super1click, flawless

signed backed into google account to get Market downloads

got my titanium pro... started restore... fine at first around 160+ apps restored

then it choke and got worse, only 30ish, and then worse not even 15, and... it's choking even when restoring 1 by 1 :rolleyes::eek:

that's the sign... the internal SD is on its way out again.... :(

i can't even restore a single app as i type this

and even market downloads, is a some times yes, some times it wont even bother downloading as it can't save. :mad:

i'm pretty sure if i go into Recovery Mode, and try a Format, i'll get the dreaded

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
So its not dead. Should change the title ;p mine does the same thing with market and titan have not tryed reformating though and im on darkys rom (no wipe). My phone is a 10.12.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Will this be your 3rd repair now?

I guess they'll just ship you a new one again this time? instead of making your wait for them to try to fix it ?

Try asking for Facinate or Captivate... (if they say they are gonna send you a new one). Why not? Do you really use that front cam?

I know that if they ever gonna offer me to just send a new phone, i'll be asking for non i9000M.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
that sucks.. are you about ready to chuck it through the window and tell them to shove it.. what really sucks is we, or at least i bought it outright.. that is an expensive paperweight. I would try to send it to samsung this time and ask them to replace it with an i9000b or i9000t with the 8gb memory maybe.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'm going to try a few more things, and see if i can "fix" it or something, or perhaps it's corrupted.

i lost 4 hours of sleep last night... not exactly in the best mood right now to try anything on the I9000M without wanting to HAMMER it :p

but yeah, this time i'll definitely be calling Samsung to get my shipping label, i'm not going through the long wait through the Bell stores again.

yes, it'll be my 3rd time.

On the Positive side of things... the Motorola Milestone XT720 is a nice little beast packed in a great metallic shell, once unlocked, rooted, optimized, it runs even better than a SGS, no joke. Having a great time playing with the XT720

Didn't have time to do much on the Nexus S, i was exhausted... still transferring all my apps and stuff from my SGS to the Nexus S.

Trying to stay positive for the New Year :D

Happy New Year everyone

and Special Thanks to lgkahn for all his help

P.S. another problem i found with the new SGS replacement phone is that the USB no longer mounts properly to enable Mass Storage option, as in it doesn't even detect itself as being connected to the PC, unless i reboot the SGS like 2 times to get it to detect it is connected to the USB port of a PC (this is after flashing to JL2, it seemed to be working fine on JH2)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dawgpound6985:
Really? Thats not good news at all. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jentech:
Bell is no longer sending them back for repairs. Instead, they are direct shipping new phones and if you have a Bell plan, they are giving $100 bill credits as well. Mine died for the third time on Wednesday night. Wasn't even using it at the time. Took it into the Bell Store yesterday morning and they just gave me a number to call saying the Vibrant policy had changed.

Waiting on an 850 band Nexus S to come out, then I'll sell of the Vibrant.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sactoguy:
This is scary!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
AllGamer, can you please confirm this. If this is true and your new 10.12 has the same issue as the other ones...im going to raise some serious hell!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
How long does it take them to direct ship a new phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
here it is

here's zoomed in

new IMEI (obfuscated for protection), different from my original IMEI #

new serial number

pictures came from the Nexus S.... the quality is WOW !!!!!!!!!:eek: crystal sharp

... anyways back on topic.

I'm still trying to find a way to make the Internal SD write properly, it might be a software bug on the JL2

I did try to reformat the Internal SD via the Recovery Mode, and it completed, but that doesn't mean crap because...

If i try to download a game, or apps it wont save to disk.

I purchased all for EA titles that were on sale for 99 cents

Sims3, Fifa 2010, Need for Speed Shift, Tetris.

All 3 of them except tetris you need to download the additional content

on my other 2 phones they will download and install just fine

on the Galaxy S nada, zip zero, it gets stuck at 5% download, then it jumps back to 0% download, and back to 5% and 0%

before i upgraded to JL2, i did the same install for all 4 games from market (when it was still on JH2) and they installed fine.

i cleared cache, i wipe, i did everything that i can think of, and still stuck with any install, download, or restore from titanium backup

I simply love Titanium Backup, it's so easy to test for a defective internal storage memory problem :D

that's the same way how it died in JK4 upgrade

i should have stayed on JH2/JK3 :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jentech:
I was told 5 to 6 business days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Forgot to mention in my previous reply.

The same Titanium Backup restore on my other phones they can restore completely successfully (Nesus S / Milestone XT720)

I'm only restoring the User Apps + User Data (no system apps, no system settings)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
What do you mean by XT720 running smoother/better than SGS?

It's it a same old milestone with 700MHz or so CPU clock boost only?

Sure built quality kick SGS ass. but performance?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
720 Mhz stock, but the CPU was actually under clocked according to tech specs

it can be unlocked or OCed back to 1000 Mhz

runs smoother than SGS even on 720 Mhz comparing eclair 2.1 to 2.1

the other neat thing with the Milestone XT720 is that it can do App2SD without Froyo 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stere0xide:
AllGamer have you tried unmounting and reformating the internal memory through settings rather than through the recovery menu. I had pretty similar issues before and I found it worked much better after that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Call this number 1-888-751-4078 instead of the number from the other post about Montreal Centre etc...

This is a number I received by Social.Hub email support. Once you do call both numbers, automation system is different, with the number I post it goes straight to support without having to press any extensions and loop arounds.

Maybe both numbers end you up to same support depart? I don't know...

But this 1-800-726-7864 seems to a general number to Samsung.

Where as this 1-888-751-4078 seems to be a direct number to Samsung Mobile Canada. Operating hours are different too.

You can even google both numbers and see the type of results you get. Samsung gives out this 1-888-751-4078 and not the other.

But who knows maybe I talking useless info here and both will connect to same end.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'm open to suggestions, willing to try anything to revive the internal SD which seems like to be very corrupt, rather than being physically dead.

so far no luck

can you point me to the topic you are talking about?

i've tried a lot of stuff, and losing track of what i've done already
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urfase:
I am now on phone #4.

My last one was a 10.11 and it last a day and 1/2 before dying. The Bell employee also guaranteed me that phone. It came with Froyo Jk4. Just got back from the store and got a 10.12 which came with Eclair for some reason. It appear to already be dying 10 minutes into use. Apps are failing to install. I am beyond pissed and frustrated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mart360:
So let me get this right,

You got the phone, backed everything up, and restored it with no problems,

Then wiped it and applied fixes / roots and other stuff, and then are surprised that

its dying / died.

Looks to me that one of the tweaks, fixes, hacks that youve installed is the

problem, and its not the phone that's at fault

Mart
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
I tend to agree...

"I bought a new car, took it out in the swamp and did some mud bogging with it, and now the wipers don't work. OMG defective car!"...

Anyway, is it just me or do most threads about SD failing involve the use of titanium backup and restoring a high number of apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zshakespeare:
Car analogy that is in no way related to the problem aside, these phones should be able to handle everything that AllGamer did. Every other high end Android device from every other manufacturer can without breaking a sweat.

The more disturbing part is that we know this would have happened to his phone even if he had just used it to make phone calls, it just would have taken longer. The point is to stress the memory card to make the problems that are already present in the hardware come out before the warranty period is up. This, however, seems to be a record. I recall that I was having trouble installing apps around the same time mine died as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Any updates Allgamer? Reformatting/applying voodoo's lagfix then removing it seems to have fixed my market issues with downloading I was having.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
What problem? If you're talking about a dead internal SD, his isn't dead. If it was dead, it would have failed a format, and throw errors mounting.

Not quite, but ok...

Anyway, other than having a few problems downloading from market (forgetting about titanium for now), the phone is working normally, is what I gather.

Forgetting about titanium backup for now, I'd like to know if hes trying to download apps using the radio or wifi? Also, is it a specific app or has he tried multiple apps? Is he running a lagfix on JL2, and if so, has he tried disabling it? Custom kernel? Has he tried flashing back to JH2 stock and performing the same market downloads?

There are so many unanswered questions, and too many people quick to jump to conclusions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zshakespeare:
If you bothered to read the original post you would know that it is throwing errors when mounting.

Try reading the thread. The internal SD refuses to mount.

If you don't agree that you should be able to read and write to the internal SD card regardless on the name of the application you use to do it, I don't know what to say other than that even the cheapest Nokia dumbphone needs to be able to read and write to memory. This is the basis of how computers work. I assumed that this was basic knowledge but I am happy to educate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Videonut:
Just to be clear, no where did Allgamer say that the internal sd wouldn't mount, he said usb wouldn't connect sometimes for mass storage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
There were no Fixes,

JL2 is stock from KIES

Rooting is required to use Backup / Restore Apps.

so, your assumption is not correct
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I'm still on my last round of test, before i add Voodoo lagfix into the mix

(voodoo is safest as it can easily be turned on/off)

So after much work.... i finally were able to resuscitate the phone with

*2767*3855# FACTORY DATA WIPE AND internal SD Wipe ALSO the External SD was wiped

as mentioned before i tried all kind of the other wipes, and formats available to the phone and it did not work.

but after *2767*3855# and losing all my backup (forgot to take out the External SD) i was able to get a little bit of more use to the phone.

Good thing is i have full copy of my backup on DropBox (i luv you TitaniumBackup PRO :p)

so it took me more than 20+ reboot of the phone to get all my 365+ apps re-installed properly.

over a span of several hours, the same Restore All User Apps+Data on the Nexus S took me only 3 minutes

basically the internal SD on this new replacement SGS is not very good, as it's already showing the signs of early death,

Random phone reboots, Difficulty installing / restoring Apps from backup or Android Market

currently I'm testing the Update All Android Market, and it chokes over and over again, 2 times it rebooted on its own, and many times i had to reboot the phone as it hangs

as you would have guessed on other phones like the Nexus S it does that without any problem.

the chocking might be due the RFS file system of samsung causing the problem, if that is true, then installing Voodoo lag fix should fix the problem

then we'll see how long the phone last before the internal SD gets toasted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
everything is over 3G / H, not using wifi

internal SD is not yet dead, that is correct,

but it is showing the same signs of malfunction as seen in the previous SGS that died.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
more updates.... still a lot of force closes, just trying to update apps from Market
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lightarrow:
Damn man you are unlucky. I did everything you did but my replacement is amazing. I had 0 problems whatsoever with it. I an also using titanium backup intensively (100+ apps) and flashes doc's roms and am currently on darkys 7.6 (amazing battery life). You should really get it exchanged again :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
Yeah, ok... moving on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
Gamer, flash back to JH2 root and titanium restore. If that works fine your SD is good and you have issues with the flash. Flash back to JL2 using a full rom (make sure you have dbdata and the sbl), factory reset, no custom kernel, lagfix or root and try to install from market. If that works, then root, and work your way down the line.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Allgamer, I couldn't resist it. If you use 1 app a day, it will take you 1 whole year to complete.

Anyway I'm sorry your phone has this problem. Wishing you ask the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the phone just went out on me (died), i was just trying to mount USB to copy a file to it.

it would not start no nothing

had to pull the battery and try again

the investigation continues, pushing its limit until the internal SD is completely toast

i was just about to install Z4mod to convert it to EXT2

P.S. the back of the phone is really hot at the moment, and i've not even got to installing the lag fixes or other speed up customizations yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the fact is there is no problem in JH2

my old phone was also fine on JH2

the problem surfaces on Froyos

even if i flash the ROM back to JH2, and things works, they will cease to work as soon as it gets flashed back to 2.2 JL2

the goal of these test is to find out if the internal SD is working properly or not

not the phone or ROMs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
here we go again... suddent death (3rd time), it turn off by itself

doesn't reboot, have to pull battery

this happens everytime i try to MOUNT the USB so i can access the Internal SD from the PC

stock 2.2 JL2 mount feature
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
I don't recall seeing reports of similar issues with the new phones. Does anyone know if this appears to be wide spread? I'll have my new one (I hope) in a couple of days and can report on my own experience as I'll be going through exactly the same steps as AllGamer.
