[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x1-pc7:
Hi all. I just got a new X1 a few days ago. Pretty happy to have it, however, I'm having chronic problems flashing a rom on it using the micro SD method. I have a PNY Micro SD card, and after hard spl-ling my phone, I put a rom on the micro SD card in the root, renamed it to KOVSIMG.nbh, powered the phone off. Removed the battery and micro SD, reinserted everything, and when I powered it back up, I got the tri-colored screen, then it said no image file. For some reason, this PNY card isn't being recognized by my computer, so I can't reformat it with my computer. Can somebody please either tell me how to format the card on my X1 or direct me to the most current and reliable USB method thread please. Thanks.

[A] Micro SD Flashing method won't work

Hi x1-pc7,

try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787867

In Summary,

try to copy all your microsd contents somewhere else temporarily. e.g. your pc desk top

FORMAT you SD card as FAT or FAT32.

try the micro SD method.

sorry, i mis-read your post, you knew all that above...

To format your sd micro card, you would need a card reader to format your sd card.

card reader that handles the microsd, or put the micro sd into a sd card adapter, usually provided with the microsd card, and put this into a sd card reader.

Hope this helps!!

Have a Happy New Year!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x1-pc7:
Listen. I said that my micro SD does not get recognized by my computer. I have an adapter, but my computer won't recognize it. Read the whole post, and please show me where it talks about how to use the USB method to flash because the micro SD method will absolutely not work for me.

Thanks.

Happy New Year to you too.

usb method is simple

just turn device off.push the volume bottom in(& keep it in) then push power & keep both in until bootloader screen appears.then connect to usb.run Xperia Software Upgrade...Done!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medulla_Oblongata:
You could try to change your USB to PC setting to "Disk Drive" (Start » Settings » Connections). This way your phone will only show your microSD card instead of both internal memory and SD contents.

See if that enables you to format your SD card.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louis0815:
Not even without the X1, i.e. when using only your adapter?

Sounds like either the card or the adapter is broken - any chance to cross-check with another card/another PC?

Make sure your adapter can handle the card: (µ)SDHC cannot be read by older (µ)SD adapters....

Need some help pls. I formatted my SD card, inserted in the phone, came into boot loader mode, but no onscreen instuctions. Am I suppsed to run the upgrade sofeware becos the error from there is my phone is corrupted.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gakuku:
Are you trying to flash your phone? If you do, have you copy the new ROM to the SD card? (in root, not in any folder) And rename the ROM to "KOVSimg.nbh"

Then the boot loader mode will detect the ROM and show instructions.

However, if you're not trying to flash your phone, you don't need to enter the boot loader mode. Just do battery pull, and start your phone normally.

Dear Comunity

I bought recently a Samsung Galaxy Tab, 7, running android 2.2

I come from Windows Mobile device, I was loyal for 8 years to Microsoft. I just made this shift, so far I am happy but I have some worries and questions:

1. Locale and text

under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...

How to add these 2 locales?

2. Brightness: the 4 hardware buttons on the bottom: can the retro-lighting be extended from (current) 4 secs to 20 secs? I could not find any settings..

3. Swype

My Samsung Galaxy tab comes with built-in swype, version 2.5 in English, Chinese, and other languages which I do not need (Malay, Thai, Indonesian, etc).

I have two questions:

1. how to add Italian module? Is it possible?

2. How to remove not relevant languages, like Indonesian and Malaysian, to reduce size?

4. Upgrade to Android 2.3:

- when the upgrade will be available? An estimate?

- will the unit be upgradable?

- if yes, do I need to re-install all software, apps and re-sync my contact database?

Doing a backup with Titanium will solve the problem? I think not, since, after a major upgrades, most app will lose their configurations files which usually is kept within system files and these ones are cleared during and after a major O.S. upgrade. right?

5. Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010's (x32) contacts to my Android Phone? Shall I first sync Outllok 2010's contacts with my account in gmail? then from gmail to the galaxy tab? If so, how to perform the 2 steps?

6. Paid apps: my ipad, my iPhone and my wife's iphone do share my same account. So I can install a paid application on the 3 devices and this is perfectly legal (up to 5 devices, Apple told me). Is the same here, in android world? I mean, if I buy a second android device and link to my same gmail account, will I be allowed to re-download the same application which I bought recently?

7. Cable

I noted that the power charger and the USB cable are 100% identical to those of my iPad: but when I used my iPad charger + cable it does NOT charge my samsung. Viceversa also true: if I use my samsung cable it won't charge my iPad and my iPhone...Does anybody know why? are these 2 cables different in the pin mapping or else?

8.

Is there a risk of damaging samsung device if I, mistakenly, swap the two cables, the Samsung calbe and the iPad cable (they are both black).

9. Can my (wired) PC, linked via samsung cable to my galaxy, provide internet access to my Galaxy Tab?

I am NOT talking about tethering (which is: galaxy tablet providing internet access to PC), I am talking about the opposite!

10. Is there an alternative "Contacts" to the default one in the galaxy?

Thanks a lot and merry Xmas!

#3: about swype

Is there a way to update from version 2.5 to latest swype version (2.9)? I have "rooted" my phone, but still cannot figure out:

- where to download the latest swype for samsung tablet

- how to upgrade (step by step procedure is most welcomed!)

Thank you!

4. Upgrade to Android 2.3:

- when the upgrade will be available? An estimate?

- will the unit be upgradable?

- if yes, do I need to re-install all software, apps and re-sync my contact database?

We don't know when the upgrade will be available. We've not had a firm 'if' yet, but other Samsung phones are getting upgraded so it's logical to hope. Though many of the 2.3 changes appear to be integrated with the Tab already. I suspect we may just get the 3.0 upgrade when it comes out and skip 2.3.

Updates provided OTA don't wipe any data. People messing around with custom roms often clear to fix issues, but the official upgrades, rare as they are, tend not to hurt user data. Even if they did, most user files are stored on the SDCard that's not touched, and apps can be re-installed with a quick visit to the Market to redownload.

5. Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010's (x32) contacts to my Android Phone? Shall I first sync Outllok 2010's contacts with my account in gmail? then from gmail to the galaxy tab? If so, how to perform the 2 steps?

6. Paid apps: my ipad, my iPhone and my wife's iphone do share my same account. So I can install a paid application on the 3 devices and this is perfectly legal (up to 5 devices, Apple told me). Is the same here, in android world? I mean, if I buy a second android device and link to my same gmail account, will I be allowed to re-download the same application which I bought recently?

Yes, I've done this on... 3 devices so far. If there is a limit, I've no idea what it is, but it's been easy when logged in on same account to get all my favourite apps back.

7. Cable

I noted that the power charger and the USB cable are 100% identical to those of my iPad

Ah, they're not. It's a PDMI cable for the Tab I believe that's a standard now. Apple have their own connector that, as you've noticed, is incompatible.

8.

Is there a risk of damaging samsung device if I, mistakenly, swap the two cables, the Samsung calbe and the iPad cable (they are both black).

I don't know. Put a bit of tape/dab of correcting fluid to show the difference?

9. Can my (wired) PC, linked via samsung cable to my galaxy, provide internet access to my Galaxy Tab?

I am NOT talking about tethering (which is: galaxy tablet providing internet access to PC), I am talking about the opposite!

Errr... Don't know.

10. Is there an alternative "Contacts" to the default one in the galaxy?

Do a search for contacts manager in the market and see what you like. There's the official Google one. The Galaxy one is decent. Not had a need for anything else.

1. Locale and text

under settings, locale and text > I cannot find English Ireland and Italian...

How to add these 2 locales?

Hmm, where did you get your tab? Should be an Italiano as an option.

And as for English Ireland, what IS that btw? I'm honestly curious as I usually see United Kingdom. Wasn't aware there was an Eire version, what's different?
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
1. - If there isn't an Italian locale, download More Locales from the Market. But I have also never noticed a seperate locale for Ireland. What's the difference from standard English/UK? Mine (purchased from Carphone Warhouse, manually updated to JMA) has Italiano a good locale option.

2. Brightness - no, there is no option at this time to extend the backlight timeout.

3. Swype - you might be able to download a new language pack from the alps settings, or again, More Locales from the Market might help you out. And don't complain about the size, 2gb is more than enough for any app-whore ;)

Dear Jve...

English ireland is useful to me because I like the regional settings, eg: date in this format: dd/mm/yyyy and not in american format, which is mm/dd/yyyy

Also I like the 24H format provided by English Ireland locale: e.g. 22:46 instead of 10:46pm

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
I have an additional question:

In my iPad the market application (called App Store) automatically notifies me when updates are available, for ALL installed application. It also promts me to install ALL of them or SOME of them, and let me choose.

Android, coversely, does NOT prompt me with updates of my applications, when they are available. Am I doing something wrong?

Is there a hidden setting to switch ON such a notification?

If not, is there any available application or widget which automatically notify me of available updates?

Thanks a lot!

Saulo
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Well, dd/mm/yyyy is the standard for the UK too, and you can select 24 hour clock in "Date and Time".

That being said, on my Tab, running JME, I have the English (Ireland) and Italian locales.

You may need to flash a new ROM to do what you want, but proceed with caution if you want to go to the JMx series!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
DO you have proper Android Market on your Tab, because that does tell you when you have application updates available via the notification bar.

If you do, when in the Market, press Menu and then Settings and the Notifications.

1. Locale and text

How to add these 2 locales?

I have the same questions on Languages, Spelling and Keyboard how do I add and remove these languages?

I have a German SGT (Product code DBT with the JK5 firmware) and I can choose Swedish language in the OS but not change Swype, Samsung Keyboard or XT9 to Swedish - how do I add Swedish?

The app Locales 2 in the market seems "fishy" ;-)

/skylt
[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
Dear Dave

Thanks for your insights!

1.

About market application: i think I have the built-in one. the icon is a white-green icon like a small bag with a strap and a green picture of a robot inside the icon

if I open "market" I see that "notify me" is already selected as default

But I still do not get automatically notification...

Of course I can open all the apps and then update them (still in "market"), so my problem is not such a big issue anyway.
[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
dear Dave

You mentioned that I need to burn my samsung tablet device with a new ROM, JME, to obtain English and Italian Locales.

Please can you elaborate a bit more?

1.Where to download it?

2. Will the new ROM be equipped with SWYPE (at least UK, US, Chinese and Italian languages)?

3.

and, most of all, why you said it is risky?

Happy New Year!

[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
I have an additional question:

I am running kies, (it does work, even if I have rooted my tablet...)

Upon clicking on firmware update i receive this message:

"model name GT-P1000

current version: PDA: JK2

Phone: JJ2

CSC: JJ2

This device's version cannot be updated"

My questions are:

1. the message is telling me that I am running the latest FROYO version, thus at this moment there is NO need to update?

2. The message is telling me that I purchased (here in China) a device which will NEVER be able to be updated?

3. The message is saying: I feel you have rooted myself, so you I won't let you update me...

If #2 or #3 are correct, can I update the ROM? what about cooked ROM suitable to my device?

2.

My second question is: does somebody know if my current version is a Korean one? And if so, can I change to an European or American one? In fact I really do not need Korean-language Swype and many asian locale settings...all together eating much memory....

Thanks and happy new year!

Saulo
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
1. From these forums - just look in the development section. Roto-JME is probably the one you want since it doesn't replace the bootloader.

2. It comes with Swype, but the original version is better because it works "full screen", so I replaced it. No idea if it supports anything non-English.

3. Any sort of flashing carries risk - in the case of JME, if you use the Samsung packages you will end up with a security-locked bootloader - this may or may not be an issue for you, depending on if you want to run a custom ROM in the future.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Filgaliel:
@Dave: Perphaps a bit offtopic. But is there any way to see it I am stuck with the locked bootloader?

Chainfire has posted a script to check this - see the first post in this thread.

[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
dear all

If so, I will give a try to ROTO JME.

Do I need to reinstall and re-customized all my application? I have Titanium Backup, but I am not familiar with it and never used...

2.

Since Swype is the only think I dislike in my current JJ2 ROM (Singapore) I have these 2 questions:

Is there a way (possibly not very painful one) to:

- unistall malaysia, indonesia languages?

- install italian language?

3.

I have run in a big flaw today!

I received a SMS, my device was LOCKED (for privacy). But when the SMS arrived the device turned on, and, even LOCKED, it showed the content of SMS...this is not acceptable to me.

Is there a workaround? An additional settings?

I use the default Messanging

3b: if of any help, I can unistall the default tool (messanging) and install Handcent SMS, but will this fix my issue? Again, I wish that NO SMS appear on display if in LOCKED mode (password protected mode)

Thanks

Well, I have a problem. The problem is that the recovery simply won't work. Okay, so I go into ROM Manager and flash the ClockWork Recovery. So then I reboot my Evo and I'm stuck at the Splash Screen. I thought that since I flashed a new ROM, it might just be gathering all the information up to start the recovery. So I return one hour later, and it's still on the Splash Screen. So I have to take off the battery and start it up normally and flash the Amon RA recovery. So then I reboot into recovery and it works fine. Anyone know why?

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm new to rooting and flashing but did tons of research and got my vibrant rooted and running great with Nero v.3. Did the same to my roommate's phone with equal success. I tried the Gingerbread experimental rom from Team Whiskey and now I can't get rid of it. I've tried using Odin like the post says but my phone won't go into download mode no matter what I try and Odin won't recognize it, so I can't flash the voodoo kernel back. I've tried every combo of buttons and battery, sim, sd card removals, etc. I got sdk android set up and followed all the posts but when I try adb reboot recovery my computer says adb is not a known command, process, or batch file. I have the environment variables set up in advanced settings for my computer but still nothing. To make it worse my phone had no service detected now and keeps powering itself on and off consistently. Any advice on why adb won't work or another way to get to download mode? Something other than odin?

For one, ADB is not set up correctly if you are getting that error. I had to manually adjust the environment settings on my Win7 pc to get it to run right. It does not write it correctly to Win7's environment settings for some reason.

The android sdk installs adb I do believe. I've gotten into the habit of just copying my sdk folder to (random pc's) c drive, if I'll need the functions in there, and/or copying the two files over and going in commando style. Just copying the files over to system32 on most pc's will give you basic adb commands, for more advanced functions sdk is necessary. Probably not the surest way but its been working for me.

Again, you need to install the Nexus S drivers.

Download and extract.

When you plug your phone in, go to Device Manager, you'll see that Nexus S was unable to install. Right click and choose update driver.

navigate to where you extracted the files to, and install.

It will now install the ADB driver, which also allows ODIN to see the phone in Download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criswell01:
First thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions. I've got adb working now, it recognizes my phone and the adb commands work. I updated the nexus drivers in the device manager. Now when I connect the phone and use the adb reboot recovery command it shuts down, goes to a charging screen for a second, then boots back up to gingerbread. I tried using the adbrebootdownload in the adb bat file and once again the phone shut down and booted back up to gingerbread. The phone is unusable but doesn't seemed to be "bricked" (based on my understanding of bricked). Very frustrating. I had Nero v.3 with voodoo working amazing, Im so pissed at myself. Any other thoughts?

Thanks but the three button method wont work. Am I wrong in assuming that using ADB you can get into download mode without using the button method? The op said that all I need to do is use odin to flash the previous kernel to get the phone back to nero. I'm stuck! Has anyone had problems using adb recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
No, I got ADB working by installing SDK, using the link I provided, and using the normal drivers from kies. However, I did this a couple months ago, maybe the driver requirments have changed now, I'm not sure, but it works for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
The adb command for download mode is adb reboot download, be sure usb debugging is switched on on your phone. If that doesn't trigger download mode, I think the jig is your only hope.
