HELP MARK ..Help with a Nexus S! MIUI

IM TRYING TO SPREAD THIS AS MUCH I CAN..

i copied this from MIUI DEV

Hey everyone,

I read in the forums that JohnnyBeGood started asking everyone to help pitch in to get Mark a Nexus S. I know Mark doesnt like the idea but it honestly thats too bad. :D I think everyone knows at this point, that without Mark MIUI wouldnt have come near as far as it has today. He has been translating and doing his modifications since Sept 30th of last year. That is almost 6 months he has dedicated every friday to making sure the Language Pack is properly put out for porters to create their ROMs from. He even takes his laptop to work to make sure that the community gets the pack as fast as humanly possible. That being said i know many of you have donated in the past, and we are very thankful for that, most if not all of that money has gone to creating, maintaining, and expanding the site into what we have today. With the newest news I’m sure you have all seen this weeks release will be MIUI 2.3 for the Nexus S. This really upset Mark as he has poured his heart into this just to see his device (Nexus One) get put on the back burner. This alone with some past drama has really pushed Mark away.

With all this being said I propose like JonnyBeGood did to start a donation box to help fund Marks new Nexus S, and keep MIUI alive. I have talked to Mark and against his better judgement has agreed to continue if I can raise enough money to get him the Nexus S. The goal is set at 600USD (to account for paypal fees + conversion rate to GBP) as Mark has to buy the phone Contract Free.

Now i know Mark doesnt feel right about this, and he thinks this is wrong, but honestly he has given so much to this community its time to give back to Mark.

we need 600 to buy the nexus s so far he collected 433.... only a few left to meet the goal

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justwonder:
It should says keep MIUI language packs alive instead of keep MIUI alive. that's huge difference.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well done mate, thanks for your diplomacy, I never knew Kim Jong Il II was a diplomat;)

I will be donating 10 pounds to the cause, and I'm a poor student so I'm sure some of you mega rich XDA citizens can muster some fiscal firepower Mark's way for the translation of this fantastic rom;)

If you´re like me before installing/trying a new rom you would like to see some screenshots or even better a video of the rom in action, well I happened to came across this guy youtube channel where we can see most of the roms running on our beloved milestone. He does a great job showing off the roms and the videos are of great quality apart, from the music :D

All credit goes to him, since i just came across this on youtube and wanted to share with you people !

I get 5 bars for signal and am in open skys. I have tried to use wifi and 3g. What can I do to fix the app so my gps can work? Pls and thks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dattack:
If you are rooted, just install a nice 2.2 rom. It might fix your GPS problem.

What routers do you all use with your G tablets? Are there any to completely avoid?

Thanks, WAD
[G Tablet General] darkness77:
I dont think routers will be a problem. I have tested mine with linksys and d-link and so for so good. Those are the only two I have. Having an N router would be nice for the distance.
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
Any n1 router. I don't even waste my time with less. I like netgear

I'm using the one Verizon Fios gave me which is wireless N. My gtab flies with wireless N. If I didn't have one already, I would go for any wireless n router that isn't made by Belkin. Those are the only routers I ever had problems with.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Thanks

Thanks for the replies, I bought a netgear n router to replace my old netgear b. Now I just need to go pick up my G tab.

:D
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Ditto. I have a mix of Linksys (WRT610N) and DLink (DIR-825 and DAP-1522) routers and APs. No issues with connectivity or speed.

One little annoyance. The gtab doesn't recognize that I moved from one router to another in the house like my Nexus One does (where it automatically switch to the most powerful signal even though there is a signal present on the existing WIFI connection). I have to manually reconnect the WIFI connection to the other router.

I have an Asus WT500gP v2 running DD-WRT and I've had no issues either.

I know if you are in your first 30 days and something is wrong with the phone you can take it back for a new one. But my wife just got an evo and dropped it and it's bad. It's all scratched up and looks bad. Can she take it back and get another one? I've never tried to take a phone back in the first thirty days cause of something I did to it. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
She can't take it in to swap it out, but if its damaged so bad that you'd consider it worth it you can pay the $100 deductible for the insurance and swap it out
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
if you have TEP, with the new sprint policy take it in for repairs and it is $0 since it is cosmetic damage...scratch..etc.
[Epic 4G General] enispenvy:
she wouldn't have dropped it if she would have just stayed in the kitchen

If your within 30 days you can add TEP pretty easily via chat or phone and then bring it in the next day..

Why is this in tbe epic forums if it has to do with the Evo? Well anyways, you should just call Sprint and ask.

[Epic 4G General] cnuckols1:
You can only add the tep wiring the first 14 days. There would have to be something else wrong with the phone for them to replace it. Or you make a claim and pay 100 dollars if you have the insurance.

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
It's in here cause I'm asking a question about sprint in general. Would it make you happy if I said she has an epic? Thanks guys. Yeah that post made me laugh about the kitchen. Couldn't I just make up something is wrong with the phone sine I'm still in my 30days. I'll tell them I dropped the damn thing bringing it back. She got it at wal mart
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
No, cause they put it through tests to see if they can make the "problem" happen again. Sprint is the worst. I was having problems with my blackberry only getting text messages when I would restart it. I brought it in, the first thing she did before I even told her the problem, was take the damn battery out. She said ok, come back in 30 minutes, we have to replicate the problem.

When I came back, she said it is fine, I just have to restart it to get my messages... I called her some really bad names and left. The only way I was able to get it replaced was through sending it to sprint, they sent me a refurb.

Our screens on our phone remind me of the big mighty men in the bible. *Coughs* sampson. We can take blows from knives, keys or razors. But get screwed by a oyster shell or grains in our pocket lol. In sampsons case a woman lol.

Insult me if you dare. I will crush you in these forums 4reeal.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
What are you talking about with the insulting statement. This sucks I thought you could return your phone for anything in the first 30 days. Guess I was wrong.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I believe he/she is stating that if you type a message which he/she finds insulting, he/she will somehow find you and physically crush on you in real life. I understand from my teenage daughter that to "crush on someone" means that they really like the person. I would surmise from this statement he/she made that he/she is a submissive and looking for his/her dominate half to complete the role play game.

But don't quote me on that; kids are weird these days.

[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:
I dropped my epic a couple weeks ago and cracked the screen. I was fortunate that it was only a small crack but I took it to sprint anyway. The first store said $100 to repair it and told me to wait until it gets worse. I called another sprint store and they said they didn't fix screens. When I told them another sprint repair site had offered they told me to come in and replaced my epic for $35. New unit, same battery and SD card. They said they could not tell me if it would be new or referbed and I cannot tell, it looks brand new.

If I had insurance it would have been free.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the system font size to something smaller ? Would be great if we could change the size down a point or 2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
I don't know about it being that specific, but isn't there a setting that allows you to choose the font size?

My only guess would be to flash a zip of the font you want with the specific size you want as the default :\
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cds36:
Yeah I haven't seen a option to change the size, I looked to see if I could change the size of the .ttf file but don't think you can

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Theres a pay app in the market called font size, but it seems to be hit or miss. from what ive seen, it can jack up your phone bad. I had to restore a band backup after I tried it, and others came out no better. it came up a few times in my font thread so you can search there for details. You can also try changing the lcd density, but that will change the size of everything.

I have a rooted phone.

It was acting weird for the first time today. Whenever I pressed a button it would open up some weird windows I've never seen before. Like a weird looking calendar. So I restarted it and now it won't start up.

I did text someone with wet fingers and some small bits of water got on the keyboard.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
You're going about this all wrong. Okay, let me try to explain. I think you're mixing up recovery and bootloader. You enter the bootloader by holdijg volume down while holding the power button on boot. It should scan for ESPRIMG.zip, and if it finds it, it will flash it from the sd card. Recovery is the place where you flash roms. If you're flashing clockwork recovery, you flash update.zip from recovery, and you get to recovery from the bootloader. But you can't get to recovery, because obviously somethings wrong with recovery. So what I'm saying is put ESPRIMG.zip on the root of your sd card, not in any folders or anything, and then go into the bootloader by holding volume down and power. It should automatically scan for and install the zip. Report back your results

By the way, its ESPRIMG.zip not ESPRING.zip. M, not N.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
What happens if you don't try to get to recovery? Try doing just doing a normal boot, see if it works. It may have to do a normal reboot to fully install everything. You might even try letting it reinstall esprimg again and then selecting yes when it prompts to reboot.

Oh well, I just hope I can get $60+ for it so I can reimburse what I spent for a new phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frank2009:
if no one does then they will use it for parts
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Yeah the reason bricked phones go for that price is because the digitizer, LCD, keyboard, it all still works. It's just the mainboard that's toast.

Yeah, sorry man, I'm out of ideas. I mean your phone can't be TOTALLY bricked, it can boot into the bootloader, there's got to be some way to fix it. I just don't know how you would do that. You know what, actually, I have an idea.

Use 7zip or winrar to extract recovery.img from ESPRIMG.zip and go into fastboot and fastboot flash recovery.img. Here's a guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot

Scroll down to the guide for flashing a custom recovery. This MAY not work because you are s-on still I'm assuming, but we do have an engineering image I believe, so it MIGHT work. Worth a shot at least. You could then you might be able to boot into recovery and flash clockwork and then be able to get your phone working again.You could also try fastboot flashing other partitions in the ESPRIMG.zip but start with recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotEspresso:
Try booting the phone with no SD card in it. Mine usually loops on the splash screen if I have it in. Probably won't be your issue, but worth a shot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownally:

How much did you get for it?
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
When I first got my epic back in November, and I started playing around with CWM, Odin and different ROMs, I found that when I tried a different ROM, (DK18 at the time), when I tried to restore my original ROM, after restore, the phone wouldn't boot. I had never been able to restore my origial build without first ODINing the original build version back (DI18), root/CWM the load and THEN restore the backup, at which time it would work fine. After that, a friend told me that CWM doesn't wipe the phone whe way ODIN does, and that I needed to wipe everything first. I hadn't done any "playing around" since then.

Fast forward to today, I decided to try Cyanogen's 6.1 pre-beta 11.1. Copied the zip to my SD card, booted into recovery, wiped everything 3x, flashed the Cyanogen ROM and rebooted. It booted fine, but turns out it was totally unusable on my phone, although it looks like it will be really nice once complete and stable. I poked around a bit, looked at what was in the various menus, then decided to go back. Booted into recovery, wiped everything 3x, did full restore, and...... No boot. Hung at "Samsung" screen. Tried it again with the same results.

In the end, I had to do the same thing I had to do in the past: ODIN DI18 back in, One-Click v2.5.5, reboot into recovery, did full restore and now phone is back to "perfect health" right where it was before I flashed the Cyanogen ROM.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I would think it would be possible to backup and restore in the fashion I was trying.

Thanks,

Dave

The kernel and modem dont get backed up with cwm so its not a complete restore.

Sent from my Epic4g using the Inernet
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
When your flashing a new rom, usually it includes a different kernel. In the case of flashing a froyo rom (assuming you meant DK17 instead of DK18) or Cyanogen, I doubt the kernel is compatible with stock DI18.

When restoring a nandroid backup via CWM, it restores everything but the original kernel (modem only flashable from Odin), which is why your having issues after a restore. You have a froyo kernel + Eclair rom = no boot/bootloop. If you had a flashable zip of the stock kernel on your sdcard, you could flash that before/after the restore (but before rebooting) and it might work then.

Another issue you may have had with Cyanogen, from what I have read, is that you should have updated the modem.bin via Odin (to DK28) before flashing the rom.
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
Thanks, that would explain a few things. I guess the Cyanogen probably went bonkers due to the DI18 modem. Yes, I meant DK17, not DK18 :). I'll dig up a flashable DI18 kernel and give it another go.

Are there any recoveries that will get everything? I'm told Amon Ra does, but it's not available for the Epic, and from reading, probably never will be. IMO, a FULL A to Z backup of the flash would be far better then the way CWM works at this time. Or is it a hardware limitation that prevents anything from getting 100% of the flash?
[Epic 4G General] WisdomWolf:
I'm having similar issues. It's not just the modem as I was on ACS deodexed DK28 with DK28 modem prior to trying Cyanogen. I can restore to any backups I made prior to mods, but anything that includes the Gingerbread theme doesn't work. I'm told it has something to do with the kernel, but even reflashing the ACS stock DK28 ROM prior to restore didn't work. So it looks like a complete flash via Odin is going to be required in many cases prior to restoring from CWM. That's my last hope.
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
I may try the cyanogen again tonight (and this time, flash the DK28 modem lol) and see what happens... before I do, I'll grab a flashable DI18 kernel, and see if I can restore withou odin (except for the modem). Worst case, can always use odin to recover. Kind of a pain, but it works.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I have a related stupid question, I'm on cm6 but I'm starting to miss being able to use wifi so can I just flash another dk28 rom or do I have to odin it back?
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
If your sticking with a rom that uses the same modem (DK28) then you should be able to just flash the new rom after wiping the data and cache (assuming the new rom includes a kernel, which I would think it would)
[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
I have a similar question. I've been playing with a whole slew of ROM's (had the epic for about three weeks or so) I keep coming back to Quantom, but my quesiton is, I'm getting really fed up of having to reconfigure all my apps after a reflash of a new ROM (upgrade, tryain a different product, etc) Yeah the google syncing works nice, but configuring mail accounts, signatures, etc, gets old quick. Can you do an advanced restore of just the apps or use a similar method to restore your settings?
[Epic 4G General] SubnetMask:
Can anyone suggest a good flashable DI18 kernel? The one I found here appears to be an update from DI07, so when I tried to flash it, it errored. Had to ODIN the stock back in again...
