Here is a good link to create a wimax.img before you make a mess!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10199672&postcount=28

The command to make a backup is

from a terminal emulator on the phone

cat < /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/wimax.img

Hope this helps, it did for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civic4982:
Your message led me in the right direction.

I kept trying to nandroid restore my wimax backup but it wouldn't work. Instead I just flashed it with the command you stated and it worked like a charm.

Whew. I had a screwed up MAC address.

Had a clockworkmod Wimax .img file, tried flashing that inside a PCIMG36.zip through the bootloader, didn't work.

Tried this, worked like a charm! Too bad a whole day went by before I could figure it out, though..:mad:

Hi Topdawgn8,

I just compared the settings above with the setting in my evo 4g and my settings are somewhat different. I also noticed you said there were a few tweaks in these settings. So if I make my settings match the ones above will it help or make any differance compared to what I have now.

Thanks,

Hey I have the EVO Shift 4G and when i do this it says flash_image command not found does anyone know the right command for the shift
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
I believe you need to have a flash image file on your sd card for it to work. Search around for the flash file or download androidcommander and it will help you flash images. Or any android program that helps you flash images for the mattter... Good luck
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerp_:
What kind of modification did google make to the largest Nexus S in bustbuy to have Video out? don't really matter if its video out or hdmi.

techcrunch.com/2010/12/23/giant-nexus-s/

could it be something like a displaylink plugged to it?

i remembered someone did something similar onto a nexus one by reversing the USB port to be a host instead of a slave.

sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

any ideas?

or maybe the nexus S does has a video out device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
honestly i have no idea how he would even know its a real NS inside, it could be..you know not
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's probably an opened up phone with a splice from the board to the display.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
true, maybe they did just open up a phone remove the screen and take the connections that would normally be used for a screen and hooked em up to the screen using google voodoo
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerp_:
how i hope there is some sort of external hardware to do video out.

i remember reading it somewhere that SGS can do video out via the 3.5mm jack, but not the NS.

www.intomobile.com/2010/07/02/samsung-galaxy-s-video-out-through-3-5mm-headphone-jack-um-yes/

or maybe like streaming straight onto your telly via DLNA. that will be awesome.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
I would be interested in this as well, but sadly the SGS and NS are not 100% identical inside.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leerobson99:
I used a 3.5mm jack output with a white and yellow connector thingy on the end, sorry for being so technical lol but only the sound played out through the tv no video using the youtube app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
that would make sense because it is you know, a headphone jack :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
I think his idea, was that on the SGS that wsa the video out port as well.

using the special nokia 3.5 video out cable

i have the cable, but i don't have an old TV / VCR to test it with.... all my TVs, Monitors, Projectors, Video Players, etc, are all HDMI or DVI or VGA inputs

it's so hard to find an old RCA inputs now in days

Does anyone else have this problem where you get a text, but it displays the wrong contact name in the notification bar? but after opening up and going into the ongoing message it puts in the right conversation?

This happens a good bit on my phone.. Very weird!
[Samsung Mesmerize] zarakand:
I have this happen but it shows the person's phone number in the notification bar not the wrong person. When I open it then it shows the person's name in the conversation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
I may be wrong but I believe that is an android bug that is being worked on. I thought i saw it on their bug tracking site

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
I am looking for themers interested in having their work available for users of my Blackhole Custom ROM. I would love to have a bunch of themes listed for people downloading Blackhole in ROM Manager. I'm not looking to take any credit for it, you'll be listed as the creator, I'm just wondering if anyone has any JK6 themes they'd like to offer as an option. thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I could probably port Slightly Better Gingerbread to JK6, but you'd have to test it for me cause I'm not switching ROMs right now. Also, just curious, why are you sticking with a JK6 build?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
the reason is that as often as there's a new leak i could make a new one, and 2 days later there would be a newer version people would want. The second reason is that i've spent hours trying to get the reboot menu working on jk6, but never could, and since there's one i was able to add i'll be sticking with jk6 until a flashable power options zip is avaliable for a newer firmware, cause i just dont have the time, or apparently the skill, to make it work myself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needs:
Hello all,

I am sorry if I didn't do a throughout search but I needed help urgently..

and so...

I was playing with a friend's Hero's pattern lock, until it got locked till the extent whereby only inputting the gmail's account details were the only way to unlock it...

He tried to input the particulars, but they didn't work..

he was rather sure that the details were correct..

Anyone can provide any help to this?

Is there any way to "rollback" to the lock screen? I am sure my friend remembers the pattern... just that we couldn't go back ):

Or do we need some kind of internet connection to connect to verify for the account?

Anyone who have experience, I appreciate your help! (and everyone else)

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ian_4614:
is the phone rooted ? do you have access to the recovery menu ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needs:
No I don't think so... my friend just recently got the phone and has done pretty much nothing other than installing apps from the app store...

He's a first time user of Android too... (so am I...)

Btw, recovery menu wise, do you mean the one whereby he holds a few of the buttons and on the device?

Yea, we managed to get there,

but didn't make any selections because there were some important messages inside the phone... and he doesn't want to hard reset his phone...

Any help? :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijnvy:
Well if you are on the original stock rom that got shipped with the phone (I assume its 1.5), then I do remember a bug which didnt allow us to get through that menu. So we needed to do a hard reset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 87Vortex87:
If it has the 1. 5 Rom you can call the phone and disable the unlock pattern. You can do this by going into settings while the call is still being made.

Don't know if you're understanding this. This is the best way to explain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I've done this a few times accidentally and the Google sign-in has always unlocked it.

Get him to log into his Gmail account on a PC to check his username and password, and then try the same details on the phone. If he's signed in with the correct user account then it should work if everything has been input correctly.

Also, when the phone tries to auto-complete his email address make sure it's correct... my phone always wanted to give me @Googlemail.com, however my email is @Gmail.com so I had to manually change it.

As for apps he has downloaded from the Market... if you do need to do a hard reset then he will be able to download everything again via the downloads tab in the Market app,

Also, any photos, mp3s etc stored on the SD will all still be there as the SD remains unaffected by a reset. The only thing he might loose is any contacts stored on the phone which are not sync'd with Google or saved on the SIM.

Where can i get links to market app's QR codes ?

I've tried appbrain's but the qr codes only links to appbrain's
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Not sure if there is one. There is a apk posted on here though so you could try searching the forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelvs:
lol i just scanned your QR code

so the android market apps doesn't really have QR codes with them ? i need to manually make them ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think there may be a bit of a Panda situation going on here. Do you want the QR for the "Market app" or for Market app's?

If it is the latter then click on the QR code tab to slide it into sight (on Appbrain) then scan and choose open browser, go internet and it will open up the Android App Market for you at the appp.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelvs:
i want the QR for the market app's

the QR code from appbrain links to appbrain. so instead of scanning and directly going to the market, it brings me to appbrain's site. i want the codes that brings me automatically to the market app.

the reason for this is that i'm making (made) a blog that reviews apps and whatnot and i want the QR code for easy access to the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As far as I was aware the QR code displayed on Appbrain in the drop down box is a direct link to the Android Market when scanned by a smart phone. Mine always works that way and I have just re-installed nearly 200 apps which I backed up in Appbrain (the apps don't get backed up just their identity you then re-install via the market)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelvs:
we're clicking the same one right ? it's the "QR/mode" dropdown ?

if so check the link it points to http://www.appbrain....

i want the link to the market like the ones here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761517

it shows the link is market://...

i also just found out that i can get QR codes of the apps installed on my phone. it links to market://... so i guess if i really can't find qr codes of other android apps. i'll simply do that instead.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I remember with the old MT3G that SAPPIMG.nbh was like our ultimate safety net. As long as we could get into bootloader we could at least get back to OEM Cupcake. I like the idea of being able to bring the phone back to 100% OEM.

I've seen the PD15IMG.zip for MT4G floating around but not a lot of documentation on how to use it.

Can anyone confirm that it works the same way? Does flashing it override whatever is on the phone and bring us back to a perfectly OEM image, complete with S-ON and root access gone without a trace?

Lastly, is it safe to flash from S-OFF or do I need to turn S-ON first?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grankin01:
Yes and yes. Unless you used gfree to get radio s off in which case you need to use the s on guide at the bottom of that post.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Thanks, Granks! ;)

Nope, no radio s-off. I figure I'll just call T-mobile and ask if I want to sim unlock it.

As for the guide to forcing update - there's a second pd15img.zip file (20mb or so) and then an update.zip. Are both really necessary to unroot, stay stock, and get current to 2.2.1?

Or can I just use the first pd15img.zip (311mb) and then the update.zip and skip the middle part, which from what I've read seems to temporarily root/s-off the phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grankin01:
The original pd15img.zip will be 2.2. You will need the second one to update it to 2.2.1.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
So that's a total of 2 update.zips, not three. That's what I thought. I just want to be sure since I don't know exactly what these updates do, only their intended usage...

Thanks!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjmartin:
Wow. Perfect timing. So if one followed the original s-off/root thread without gfree, all we need to do is flash that to be stock again? Can someone link the image?

Do I need to flash the stock recovery first?

EDIT: I'm getting an "main version is older" error when trying to flash over cyanogenmod 6.1. I'm going to nandroid back to my stock image with root and see if I can flash it over that. Hopefully I can. Any ideas anyone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
To flash the file in the OP? No, you flash this through hboot and it will wipe your phone, replace your recovery, unroot you and restore you to S-ON.

Basically it returns your phone to an out of the box state.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjmartin:
I guess I should be a bit quicker on my edits! Anyway, when flashing through hboot over CM6.1 I get "main version is older" errors. I was going to nandroid back to stock + root but it is now bootlooping when nandroiding back to stock. This is frustrating. I still get the same "main version is older" error over my stock nandroid as well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Are you doing a full wipe between your nandroids? If you still have S-OFF you can fastboot reflash cwm recovery and then restore or flash whatever the heck you want.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjmartin:
I did not know it was wise to wipe between nandroids...

Just for reference, I'm trying to restore to stock so I can ship it back to t-mobile. So far all I have accomplished is doing a nandroid restore to stock + s -off + root, yet somehow it is bootlooping... I may use fastboot to flash the stock recovery and try to restore it then.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
That's your problem right there. In recovery before you nandroid restore do WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. Then restore your nandroid and it should boot right up.

Or are you doing this through Rom Manager? Boot into recovery and do this manually so you can wipe/reset before you restore. I just restored from cm7 this morning. Heck, I nandroid back and forth between Sense and CM6 about twice a week. Literally...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjjackson56:
easiest way is to follow my guide for unrooting
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjmartin:
I didn't follow the ultimate guide so I just went straight to flashing the image file in hboot but it gives me a "main version is older" error and kicks me out... I am on CM 6.1, what could be the reason?

I have 3 ideas for what my problems could be: 1) CM Kernal (does nandroid restore the kernal?) 2) Not wiping in clockwork before nandroid restore (hopefully I still have clockwork) 3) Bad PD15IMG.zip download (like an idiot I downloaded it from the device itself...)

I will work on it again tomorrow and be back to this thread.

Thanks again for the help guys!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Ok wifi is much better but still... it's a big-ass file. There's a thread around here with instructions on how to check md5sums. That's a good way to CONFIRM whether or not you have a good file.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattjmartin:
Yea, i'm very familiar with checking the md5sum from my MT3G days, which is why I say a corrupted file is/was likely. I still have clockwork, which is good, so I'll get it figured out. It's wierd, the image file made it far enough to replace my spl with stock, but it didn't touch my system, radio or recovery... How is clockwork going to be able to do anything with s-on?

EDIT: Phateless: Your stock image is slightly different than the one I found in the other thread. Yours is about 200kb smaller...

EDIT 2: Phateless, your PD15IMG.zip is definitely the wrong one. I placed the other one I found (can't remember where) on my sdcard and bam, done. Do you want me to upload it for you? If so, tell me where. I have a free dropbox if that will work. You'll have to tell me how if so.

The phone was back to 2.2. I honestly don't remember where I got it from... it was three in the morning when I came across it and stuck it in my dropbox.

I could have still had a corrupted version of yours though, which may explain why it flashed the spl but didn't touch recovery, radio or Rom. I would try yours again with a verified file but my old phone is already sealed up and on its way back to tmobile.

Anyway, it worked exactly as it should have!

You dont have to change CID to do that. Once you install a RUU of that carrier with a goldcard, the OTAs you subsequently receive will be of that carrier.

Why change the CID at all?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
yea doing as droidzone tells you will let it download, but you will need to keep the goldcard in the phone in order for them to install properly.
