[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flaming_goat:
I recently bought a second hand HTC Magic and flashed an engineering SPL(This booted ok). I have installed Amon Ra's recovery(Which seems to work fine) however it will not boot after installing a custom ROM (i have tried cyanogen 5 & 6 and yoshi's) it just hangs on the HTC Magic screen.

Phone Details:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009,17:27:03

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

Something i noticed was that i used to have a G instead of a H, could this be it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
That radio requires 32A ROM's. If you flash CM ROM's, you need to also flash the appropriate EBI1 kernel from their download section.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flaming_goat:
Thanks for that info. I have now got cyanogen mod 6 installed.

Unfortunately I cant connect to the mobile network. when i bought the phone i expected it to be locked to Vodafone and expected it would ask me for an unlock code when i put in my Giffgaff sim. Does this mean it is unlocked? Giffgaff is on the O2 network so i have tried selecting that in the network operaters list, however it says that my sim does not allow a connection to this network. Also i tried a vodaphone and an orange sim out of some other peoples phones but they didnt work either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Something seems wrong here.

The device says it's 32B, so is the SPL, but the radio is 32A.

Even on the MyTouch 1.2 the SPL would show 32A, correct?

Which I doubt this is because the UK is in the UK, and they're referring to it as a Vodafone Magic (note: in other countries Voda uses 32A Magics).

I think this is a 32B device w/ a 32A radio, which would explain the connection issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
There was another thread about that radio being a 32A radio but it also works for 32B devices. He probably would be better off with another radio, but according to that thread it should still work.

EDIT: Here we go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flaming_goat:
Ok - i tried to flash a new radio (2.22.23.02). I think ive bricked my phone as i cant go into fastboot anymore or recovery. it just sits on the HTC Magic screen :(

EDIT: is the only way out of this with jtag
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Checking his ip address shows that he's from the UK which would make it a 32A device. His SPL said in the first post Eng S-OFF which means that he possibly flashed the wrong SPL but still had the correct radio. But this was possibly done during the rooting process because his phone didn't brick but he still experienced issues. I think that in this case the correct method would to have been to figure out what the right spl would have been (probably just use stock to be safe) and just flashed that. But now that he tried to use a 32B radio it sounds like he just finished bricking it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Sounds about right, however the *only* carrier in the UK that sells the Magic is Vodafone, they use 32B devices (hence google branding and not HTC, lack of 3.5mm jack).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flaming_goat:
It was defiantly a 32B to start with and i am from the uk. I flashed an engineering sappimg as that was what was recomended to escape the perfected spl. Can u tell me if this is fully bricked?

I can get £30 at a mobile recycling site, will that be the best way out as i have none of the stuff needed for jtag (and it looks pretty hard).

GPS not work on the custom roms?

Now before you flame me about "searching the forums". Don't worry, I have. I know the fix (ie Flash back to DI18, get lock then flash to latest). Which from a not quite a dev but not a noob stand point doesnt make the least bit of sense to me.

Why does locking in an older rom make it work in a new rom.

More importantly, Ive flashed the leaked stock DK28 rom and GPS worked out of the box. If the stock rom works fine, why are the custom roms not. I haven't found a custom rom yet that has a working GPS and having moved to the EXT4 filesystem, I REALLY dont want to try flashing DI18... Im not even sure it would work. What is being tweaked or not tweaked in the custom roms to create this problem, and instead of making a rediculous work-around to make it work, how come it hasnt been fixed.

Im not implying that people arent trying to fix it, I just want to understand this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Accurate to 1 meter for me with no gps fix ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilmarac:
Im going to assume that your using Syndicate Rom? If thats the case, that might be my next rom to try. Course it looks like Syndicate hasnt been updated since November and is still using DI18 anyway, which would be why it works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Strange. I had to do the di18 lock when I first flashed any of the froyo modems to get gps, but since then my gps works great with any rom.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilmarac:
See mine worked on the stock DK28 which was the first one I went to. Any of the custom roms no. Now Im wondering if having gone to EXT4, can I flash back to DI18 if thats whats necessary or is it going to be a problem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
I never did understand the whole "flash back to di18" GPS workaround myself. For me personally, I rely on GPS pretty heavily for one of my jobs, and back when I was still using di18 ROM's, GPS would fail almost daily because of the cache bug. Since dk17 and dk28, GPS has been perfect for me. But anyway, to answer your question, you can always odin back to di18, but I don't see how it would help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilmarac:
Yeah, doesnt make sense to me but tons of people claim it works. :: shrugs :: that may be my only option.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
I asked for an explanation back when it was first figured out and never got a real answer. A lot of people say it doesn't work. But I didn't have gps in froyo from dj29 up unless I went to di18 and got a lock first. Since DK28, I haven't had a single problem with it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
It only takes like 5 minutes to flash back to DI18, get a lock, flash back to DK28. Then flashing your rom of choice and restoring data takes another 5 minutes. Not like its that big of a time investment and it absolutely works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_gibberish:
I'm equally confused but it totally worked for me. My GPS went from intermittent and inaccurate when I first moved to Froyo, to dead on accurate even inside my house once I reflashed that way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryelv:
Try this... (requires no backups, no flashing, no re-flashing, not even a reboot).

1. Download and Open GPS Status

2. Press "Menu"

3. Go into Tools

4. Manage AGPS State

5. Reset

6. Wait in GPS Status to see if it gets a lock

Sometimes it takes 3-5 minutes in GPS Status to get a lock the first time... after that, it usually gets a lock faster. Sometimes this has worked for me. It's just easier to do than reflash/reboot/etc.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mictek:
That's what I've been doing since day one. Works for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast95135:
Did you get to DK28 by flashing the update.zip?

And they want you to go back to di18 to start fresh, I don't think getting a lock makes a difference but I did it anyway. When you use odin to get to Dk28 it will flash the modem right and so gps will work, the .zip method doesn't flash it right.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Bonsia rom with ext 4 and emotionless beast theme
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Exact same setup as mystery and I get a one meter lock too.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
That always fixed the cache bug in di18 and dj29. I don't remember the exact differences in dk05 and dk17. With dk28 the cache bug is fixed you shouldn't even need this. But I guess that it's always worth a try.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilmarac:
Well, it makes absolutely no sense to me, and seems completely bass ackwards, but it did work.

First I tried the GPS tools method that was suggested in this thread and that didnt seem to work. So then I odin back to DI18 stock, got a GPS Lock, then Odin to DK28 Stock (which also gave the DK28 modem) got a GPS lock. Then installed CWM3 and flashed over to a Custom DK28.

I tried Quantum and got a GPS lock (google maps says within 60m)

Then I went to Midnight and got a GPS lock (google says within 60m)

Im not sure how to check the accuracy of either. It may be because after the DI18 lock outside, I didnt go outside and was getting locks inside my house and it cached it like that or something.

I didnt try Bonsai because I recall having a problem with Bonsai in the past that I didnt like AND his change log says something about a GPS fix as part of the rom, so I figured it wouldnt matter.

At any rate, the point is my DK28 Midnight Rom (sux hes not going to be doing anymore releases) gets GPS and the whole thing still doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me.

Thanks for everyones help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Try a program called GPS Test. It will show how close your lock is and how many satellites you have.

I just got my D2G set up, and want to run it this way for a while before rooting.

I have installed Slacker and Doggcatcher and prefer that they update overnight while I charge the phone.

Wifi seems to connect properly, but apparently times out sometime during the night. I get error messages from both Slacker and Doggcatcher in the morning, saying that the Programs failed to connect. (The D2G stays plugged in all night.)

I tried a setting in DLNA that promised to lock wifi on, but that didn't work.

I installed Tasker, but the selection for wifi sleep is not available for D2G. Instead I made a Context to turn on wifi while attached to AC power. This still didn't work.

Each new thing I try takes a night to test, so I'd appreciate any suggestion!

I'm even thinking about buying a Clock Dock, if that would work.

Any ideas?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Are you trying to change wifi sleep policy? If so you can do so under settings wifi (where available APs are listed), menu advanced. You can set wifi on while screen on, or wifi always on (never sleep) or when charging.

Get some help on irc. Those guys are willing to help if they have free time.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
^ That is probably the best idea as it gives live support/feedback. I'd say that it's best to do at least a little research and have an idea of what you want to do beforehand though. If you just say "teach me how to do xyz" your response won't be as good as "I am trying to do xyz and this is where I'm having a problem". The more you help yourself beforehand, the more help you will likely receive.
[Fascinate General] Sorosy:
Yea, the IRC is an amazing place to ask questions. I've taken the step to building kernels now myself and have been asking plenty of questions. I now have 2 UV kernels out myself. Same goes for themes and roms. Someone will help, just be patient though, cause, usually everyone is busy during the day.

I'm trying to create a custom boot animation for my rooted Incredible and can't seem to get it to work. I'm not sure what I am missing. The phone just boots with the black screen. Are there certain resolutions I'm supposed to use? Maybe a certain dpi? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've attached it here. Yes, it's terribly simple and not that exciting. But, hey, I like it.
[Android Themes] p1ayrTh3_Ru13:
Everything looks like its set right but it doesn't work on my axis either. Try downloading another boot and look at their desc and compare
[Android Themes] ned4spd8874:
I did just realize that I didn't save the desc.txt file right. I re-saved it as a UNIX file, and tried again, but it still doesn't work. I've compared it to other ones and I don't see a difference. Not sure what else to try.

EDIT: I got it! Not sure what exactly the difference is, but I copied a similar desc.txt file from another animation and it works now. Again, not exactly sure what the difference is, but I'm not complaining. Thanks!
[Android Themes] ned4spd8874:
So here is the working version. But I still can't figure out how to make it smooth. I've reduced the image size with no effect. I've toggled the fps up and down with no effect. What else can I do to make it more smooth???

EDIT: I added a continuous scroll to it, but it still doesn't act right. It's still choppy for one. But after the initial scroll, it jumps back to an earlier image and then goes to the continuous scroll. WTH am I doing wrong?
[Android Themes] ned4spd8874:
Shameless bump...

I still can't figure out how to make this more smooth and stop that weird graphic glitch when it transitions from the initial scroll to the continuous one. Please help me. :o)

EDIT: I think I got it. I left a couple images in there that I thought I had deleted. It's still a little choppy, but much better.

2: What are the real benefits of running an Overclock App?

3: What damage is done by running an Overclock App?

4: What is the best Overclock app for the G Tablet?

5: Are any of these apps worth the money?

Do the current kernels support overclock? Normally you need to specify clock speed slots in the kernel then apps like setcpu allow for those slots.

I'm new to the whole flashing/rooting concept.. But I bought the G Tablet about a week ago and after several trials and errors and trying several roms I finally got it flashed to G Harmony (gingerbread) v2.3 which I found to be the best and have it overclocked @1.4ghz..

Be sure to pick up the G-APPS that goes with it.

I have found that clemsyn creates a mean kernel. His 1500mhz kernel is awesome. If your willing to go higher, he has one that will take you to 1700mhz.

However I must echo his words in that the specs for the processor are being pushed over the limits that Nvidia recommends. Now, if you like living on the edge, this is one great kernel.

Getting Dirty

Now, for a little dirty work.

Since you have already destroyed your warranty by modding ( however you can return to factory and no one usually knows.), you can now modify your hardware.

Yes, you can!!! It is called a heatsink!!!... Now how does it work??? Well, I will tell you.

See next reply for more info... ( I need to post more in order to be able to play in big boy land... )

PLEASE NOTE: Read all the Dirty posts before you start. This is for your own protection ( and mine). If you don't get warm and fuzzy thinking about doing the follow procedure, THEN DON'T!!!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roguecat54:
Beginning to get Dirty

Ok.. I have to post 3 more times I think... so.. to start off here and continue from my last post:

You have to take your G-Tab apart. Yes... it is necessary to see the innards!!!!

now... 4 screws hold that back on... BUT, there are little tabs holding it together after you pull the 4 small phillips screws. So, now you have to get a little physical with your G-Tab. Please remember that you are doing this at your own risk. I have done this... but I have relatively major experience in hardware. (was an electronic tech in old life) So, faint of heart... do not attempt!!!!

OK.. now you get to read my next post!!!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roguecat54:
Now we're Dirty

Ok.. if you accomplished the mission in the last post, your dirty... You have nicked, gouged, and smudged your pretty G-Tab. All is not lost, you are now into its guts!!!!

Ok, Now we really are going to cause havok. This is not recommended by anyone, but I have accomplished the task and will at least give directions. Please remember that anything you do beyond this point is totally your responsibility.

Ok, now that you have your back off, you need to gently pop the metal cover off of the electronics. It is shiny and extremely thin, so be very careful not to bend or warp it. Do not remove the tape from the end that is taped down. This will help keep things in perspective and it will go back on easier.

Now, you have found the object of our search. The CPU!!!!

Now, the hard part. Based on your observation of where the cpu is in relation to the cover, put a mark on the outside of the cover approximately where the center of the cpu is. ( now, for the more serious, measure and mark. More precise)

OK, now I hope you have read all of this instead of just doing one at a time. I guess I should go back and edit the first one and add that as a caveat. I will add the next post after I do that. Don't want to cause you guys problems.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roguecat54:
Past Dirty!!!

Ok, now we will add some heat sink compound to our cpu. A very ( and I mean very) small amount at the very center of the raised portion of the cpu is all we need. Now, after studying the situation, I noticed that the cover is higher than the raised portion of the cpu. For heat sink compound to work, it needs to be touching two things. One is the cpu, and the other is the heat sink. Well guess what our heat sink is???? Yep, you guessed it.. the metal cover. Now, it isn't the best in the world, but in heat dissipation, every little bit helps. So, now for the hard part. Put the metal cover back on ( an you have the center of the cpu marked on it, right?). Using a small ( not sharp, I used an eye glasses repair type screwdriver with a blade tip) tool, press down on the metal cover around the area that you marked as the center of the cpu. the metal is pliable and does not take a lot of pressure to bend. We just want some of it to press against the cpu as to form a heat bridge.

Now, you can power on the G-Tab after you have done this and make sure all is good. If so, then power down, and put the back cover back on. We are done with our little surgery for the G-Tab.

This will help with any overclocking you do.

Caveat: It does not remove the danger of burning up your processor!!!!!
