Hi I downloaded your app. It's very useful and I hope that it only keeps evolving much more. Thank you VERY much.

I'll be writing a review soon as well, thanks once again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
If you have s-off....Put the newest pc36img.zip on your sdcard and flash it. Qualcomm will do no good and is uncharted territory. I would really not mess with your radio like that. Stick to flashing system stuff like roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghades:
pc36img

y tried this file and it did not work 4 me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i dont think you understand pc36img.zips. all are different. they are the firmware on your phone. just downlaod one with the most recent firmware, and flash from bootloader.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Run the ruu for the latest software. It is an application ran thru the pc.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
you dont need htc or anything that drastic. i'd reccomend an ruu, and if that doesnt work, a pc36img.zip extracted from that ruu. http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe that is the newest ruu. run it on ur pc

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
for the ruu to work, use a bit of google to install hboot drivers, then boot into bootloader and choose hboot usb. then run the ruu. i'm not sure how to get pc36img.zips out of ruus but winrar isnt the answer. it has soemthing to do with the cache of the files.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghades:
ok i

it gives me error 170 usb not connected but it is it has the driver installed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok then google up on how to extract pc36img.zip from ruu. i cant help you there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghades:
give up

thanku for ur help dkdude36 but i dont know what to do anymore y tried 5 diffrent ruu and nothing ,tried several pc36img files and nothing i think am going to have to send it to htc :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
very well then, did the best we could...

if i were you, i would just google one more time... to try and find a 3.70 pc36img.zip. if not, too bad...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clavoie26:
Did you try two reinstall the correct nv there in the dev thread
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You will have to flash the engineering firmware, the regular pc36imgs dont contain all of the nv data. To be honest you will probably need to get your phone replaced either way though, there is a lot of stuff in the nv area that is unique to your phone and never changes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1justformail:
Where can we get the engineering firmware???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Among other places, the download in the OP's post of this thread has a PC36IMG.zip (note the proper caps) containing the engineering files.

I'm trying to ROOT a Mytouch 32A without a SimCard, is that possible?

Is a friends phone and with 1.6 you can use it whithout Sim, then because it says that i have to downgrade to root, I downgrade and know im getting an error and cannot do anything becasue don;t have the Sim.

any help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Three options. Get a 1 day data pass to sign into Google and use one of the one-click root apps. Borrow a data enabled SIM from a friend and root as mentioned before. Three, borrow a friends phone to create a goldcard and root that way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rockypr:
Anyway to go back to 1.6 or another rom via sappimg.zip? the problem with 1.5 is that i cannot use or find to enable wifi, in the instalation. So im like stock on this process.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
None of the stock ROMs will let you turn wifi on during the Google activation. You have to root or get a data enabled SIM.

I'm getting sick of seeing all the HTC and LG guys having all the fun. Trying to do something about it. xboxmod posted this in another thread...

Sooo I've done some mucking around with this. Made a little progress but not much.

That provxml is executed every time you dial "##634#". It just installs the Diagnosis app. Whatever process is actually doing this then launches Diagnosis which is just a silverlight app.

I can write to that registry key and put in whatever path I want. The problem is, whenver I try to run it with a provxml that I've deployed to the rigtones folder or to the app's install folder it does nothing. I was able to get it to launch the provxml that installs the AT&T crapware so I know it is working after it's modified, I just can't convince it to run one that's not in \windows\. I tried emailing the file and saving the attachment (took some tricking) and that didn't work either.

Is there any way to write files to \windows\ on samsung devices? If I'm not mistaken we don't have permission to do that from SL and there's no "WriteFile" function thrown in the drivers that we know of.

Anyone have any ideas? Anything else I should try?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domineus:
so...what you're saying...is that mfg is launched provxml is written...

is it possible to dump the samsung rom to pull the xap and sideload it that way...edit the xap with the new provxml so it installs on ##634# assuming mfg is an installable app

I know it is installable I have it on my phone I dunno where I got it though...if it works...

that just leaves dell being late to the party as usual...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
I think you're confused. I don't think there is a XAP that installs the provxml. It's just sitting in \windows (which I don't think we have write access too) and the phone dialer or whatnot launches hte provxml which installs the xap. The XAP ships with the phone in the \windows\ folder but isn't "installed" until it's provisioned by running ##634#.

How to use FCRouterProxy.dll? I cannot add it as reference. thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
It's a Native COM DLL, not a .net dll.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pixeltec:
Do you think it'd be possible to write a managed wrapper DLL for the native calls? I think that'd make the whole process a lot less messy.

I took a look at your native calls project, and I must admit, I feel a bit silly. I'm not sure what to define ComBridge as. I can't compile without it.

Gotcha. Thanks.

@davux: Freaking awesome. Works flawlessly on my Focus. Kudos.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MalooMF9:
Well, I spent a while hacking together my first ever C# program today. Though to call it mine is a bit of a stretch. What I've done is I've taken a Registry editor for the Samsung Focus (here), and modified it to use this DLL instead.

It successfully reads and writes to the hklm hive, but I have not tested it on hkcu. I've used it to keep my phone from relocking and manually editing the theme data. I haven't run into a registry key I can't read or write with it.

However, it still doesn't browse through the registry, only edits stuff you know the locations of.

Enjoy, either way. And ignore the silly splash screen I threw together in twenty seconds and forgot to remove. Source is included. xD

Edit: Found a minor bug, the default path that it starts on points to a key that doesn't exist. (Namely, the actual key is in hklm, not hkcu)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] martani:
Did you email the file in your \windows folder, or another one you created yourself?

ad what do you mean by "I just can't convince it to run one that's not in \windows\"?? it cannot run a program not in the \windows folder or cannot install a provxml that in not in the \windows folder?

thanx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
I think someone said they're working on one that will abstract all platforms. Hopefully they'll incorporate this.

Saved email attachments go to "\Application Data\Volatile\EmailAttachments\AttachmentsXXXXXXXXXXX" where XXXXXXXXXXX is some random number it assigns. I don't know of a way to get the file from that folder to \windows.

It won't install a provxml that's not in the windows folder. I tried putting the same provxml that it normally uses in other folders and it won't run it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] (nico):
Here is my registry app with cross device writing (at least HTC and Samsung, LG may work).

XAP: http://bit.ly/eEZ0Uf

It includes a lib that abstract registry API for each device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] martani:
How do you detect the type of the device? or is it just a "try ... catch" and whatever works if the one to use?

CNN Mobile

Hello everyone, I am looking for feedback on my apps I created. Here is my first app. Please comment here and if you enjoy it please leave feedback on the actual review for the marketplace. Price is .99 however I offer an fully function ad supported version as a trial. It only nags the first launch it ever does. The ads are removed after purchase. Please let me know. Also this app is under attack on the marketplace by competition you will notice the first 4 posts are all 1 and are by competition (I have verified this with microsoft however they will not remove them).

View CNN's Mobile website at the click of a finger. Clicking on the CNN Logo on the app itself will take you directly back to CNN. Using the arrow on the left will function as a back button. This is a very simple and effective web browser. Enjoy!

I will put feed back
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SgtGarcia:
Hey,

I just checked out your app. It's nice and quick way to view the CNN mobile webpage. I do have one question, what's the real advantage of using your app compared to just pinning the CNN Mobile homepage to the startscreen?

Btw, I used this website to check on your reviews: ttp://wp7reviews.tomverhoeff.com/AppReviews.aspx?id=cfe3f2e2-db08-e011-9264-00237de2db9e

Looks like the positive reviews are coming through. I won't review you, although i like the concept of the app i agree with some of the review that paying for just a webbrowsercontrol is kind of silly. If you offered it for free it would be 5 stars.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] CyiDev:
Thank you guys, I really appreciate it. Well the advantage to using my website is not alot of people actually know the mobile site by heart, and my app shows more of the screen than the internet explorer. Also my app shows an icon that goes a little more with the overall design element of the windows phone 7. That's why I'm offering it at .99C plus if you want to just continue using the trial for free it can be the update does have an ad that will support me and there will be no nag screen except during the very first launch if people just want to use the trial. In all honesty i prefer my NewsPaper 7 app. It's got about 14 websites in it and the ability to add two of your own.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] SgtGarcia:
Hey,

Just checked your NewsPaper 7 app, to be honest i think that's what should be called your first app since it really ads functionality. It's a really quick way of accessing the mobile webpages.

Btw, just wondering. Are you using ads from MS Ads SDK? How are the results, do you see any good eCPM?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] CyiDev:
Well, CNN Mobile was what I wanted when I first got it so thats what i started with. NewsPaper 7 is what ended up being kind of a mix of ideas and I did not want to flood the market w/ 1.29 or .99 apps. So I created one I could price at 2.99 then drop to 1.99..1.29...then .99 once my sales went up. The NewsPaper7 app started as an idea one morning and was done that night, the results are very pleasing and what I'm actually using on my phone. I am considering cross platforming this app into the blackberry tablet however I need to look more into that SDK prior to launch.

Yes the ads are from the MS SDK, if you do financial ads like I have the eCPM is averaging between 60-200$ per 1000. It seems the more ads you display the more it goes down. So I am still trying to tweak the right combination.

My CNN App is suppose to have the bug fixes and the back hardware button work correctly, the update is accepted its just Microsoft has declined every version # in between. And since the two apps were developed side by side the version number once it hits the marketplace jumps from 1.0 to 1.4.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vhaakmat:
NewsPaper 7? I can't find it using the Zune software on my PC... Is that the actual name?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] CyiDev:
zune looks to not be finding it under that tag for some reason try news paper 7, or just follow this direct link http://bit.ly/dR5L7B I have also now added direct links to zune on both apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MrAndrewAu:
I left a good review for you since I quite like it. I'm from Canada, and I'm the first to leave a rating, so hopefully this helps out.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] CyiDev:
Thank you. I honestly hate how the market is segregated by nationality. It should be segregated by language instead. If you haven't purchased it you should try NewsPaper 7. It does more websites than the CNN Mobile. The trial version will run for ever on the NewsPaper 7.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] j0hnZ:
So what is the fix? To stop deleting dalvik-cache in the update-script?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Dude I don't know. I was reading that might be what's causing it- cause the phone scans media afterwords, and may double, triple, quadruple everything. One time I ended up from 75 photos to 525, in the same folder. If you search for the fix , you'll find it. It involves deleting a couple files with root explorer, then everything goes back to normal.

Hi,

I have a spare sgs i9000 (bell vibrant) fully functional. My friend would like to use it, however his carrier is Videotron who uses the 1700/2100 frequencies.

My questions is the following: is it physically possible to put the t-mobile vibrant's antenna (which is also 1700/2100) into the i9000?

If i manage to put the t-mobile antenna into my bell phone (I assume I also need to swap the antena module??) will it work with videotron?

I hope someone can help!

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

it is technically possible
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munza7:
***bump***
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony604:
It is not possible. Each frequency being used requires its own chip (power amplifier). If the phone does not have the hardware (chips) to support a particular frequency, there is no possible way it can support said frequency.

Its a hardware limitation which requires more than simply swapping an antenna.

Mind you, newer chips will probably come out in the future that will support multiple bands in one package. The next Gen qualcomm dual core snapdragon supposedly supports both CDMA and GSM 3G bands for example.

there is a patched version of angry birds 1.3.5 that is supposed to be much more playable on low end devices. i was able to install it on a mytouch 3g without root and it was definatly more playable than the market version. it was playable, which is a huge leap from what it was.

it claims it fixes white rendering issues on some devices but it didnt on the mytouch. as far as i could tell.

i tried to install on my rooted g1 runnin cm6.1. the game opens but quickly closes itself out and back to home. has any1 been able to get it to play on cm6.1 on g1?

also, when if it can run on cm6.1, do we play it with the angry birds gscript thats supposed to help the gameplay?
