Hi, now I need some help...

I playing with my China Mobile I9008 yesterday, and as I trying without sucess to find a way to install the market, I think I installed a wrong version of clockworkmod, now my I9008 is bricked (I think). Its starts but after first screen (where's appears I9008 name and so on) the boot come back to ophone screen and keep in this looping more than 20 times... full wipe and others doesn't work

In my mind if I apply again the update.zip can solve, but my file having problems showing erros, can not read the file, etc...

I tryed to find this file but I have no success...

Someone can help me? have some update.zip to my i9008ZMJI1 firmware version?

Thanks.

Install factory image

Ok, I've been trying to find a way to install CM (and the market app) onto my GT-I9008L and have managed to nearly brick my phone a number of times. The only thing I have succeeded in is rooting my phone (use Z4root) and installing a fresh factory image.

(I apologize for broken links, XDA doesn't trust me to post clickable links yet)

To install a fresh factory image:

a) Get the software from this Chinese thread: bbs.dkdiy.net/thread-12788-1-1.html

--The first message in the thread has a link to a RAR file that contains everything you need. Including all the tools & the image itself

--To see the link you'll have to create an account and post to the thread

--I was able to do it by using a combination of google chrome and google translate to work my through the free registration process.

b) run Odin v1.81 (I've tried other versions of Odin...they don't work)

c) select the files shown in this image: www .dkdiy.net/article.asp?id=633

d) the file versions in the image don't match the RAR file. The key is put the CSC file into the CSC blank, the CP file in the "phone" blank, the "all low" file into the PDA blank and the PIT file into the PIT blank

e) make sure you have selected the checkboxes in the image

f) start your phone by holding volume-down+home+power

g) when you see the yellow android digging plug your phone into your computer (you may need the samsung drivers)

h) wait for odin to detect your phone (the first box under ID:COM will turn yellow and list the com-port that your phone is connected to)

i) hit start, wait about 3 minutes, you will see the progress bar update every 5-10 seconds

j) it will auto reboot and finish the installation

To root your phone I followed the instructions on this chinese thread (use google chrome to get an instant translation):

DUDE!!!

I think i got some good news.

I have the same problem with my new S2 bought in China, no Android market. I've been searching all around the web to try to fix it.

It is still not working for me, but i got a little bit farther though.

I find the hint here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351283

So what i did and what you can try is:

1) Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk

This seems to be the issue, as when you install it you can see the permissions Google requires, and pretty much says the can access ALL the data in your phone. (It would explain the censorship)

2) Install Android Market with any .apk you can find

3) Launch Android Market

The change for me is i can now input my account login. But it still fails connecting to google to actually login. Maybe because i'm still in china and it blocks the connection.

Could any one try this outside china and tell me if it works?

Cheers

EDIT:

By connecting my APN and Wifi (instead of wifi alone) i managed to finally loggin. I HOW NOW ACCESS TO ANDROID MARKET !!!

But not so fast. I have access to the market, but i get an error when downloading an app. So it is still not working, but getting closer. I sent an e-mail to google see if they can fix this (seems my account and my device are still not linked). Waiting for the reply...

Alright it's working now !!!

After exchanging a couple e-mail with google, i managed to download some apps.

OK just wanted to ask if there is any new overclockable kernal in the works with higher overclock processor speeds , in the range of 1.4 or 1.5 or beyond this . I also have an htc hd2 with android flashed to it and custom kernal with processor speed upto 1.576 . So that's what has had my brain wondering if we could get a kernal like that with this awesome device . Thanks in advanced to all the developers and anyone else who does or could make this possible

[HD2 General] Benj430061:
Hi,

I've tried to install Android on my HD2, and I guess something has bone wrong.

I've installed the HSPL 3 package, that was ok.

Then I've moved to MAGLDR installation, it was ok until the reboot, after seeing 100% on the installation process, it boot and then get stucked on the starting screen, where you can read HTC with their logo.

I've tried to perform a hard reset. Seems ok, then I press Vol Up. First, the restore time is really short (less than a second), then I press Vol Up again to boot, and I get back to HTC Starting screen...

Do you have any idea about what I'm supposed to do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit :

And when I press Vol Down before power on, I got the 4 color screen with :

On the red box PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

On the green box Nothing

On the Blue box Nothing

On the white box Serial
[HD2 General] nicedude_abad:
Well, pardon me for saying this but you should have searched the forum and google before. So many people have seen this problem before. After hard reset, you don't have anything left on the device so just re-install.

Should work.
[HD2 General] Benj430061:
Thanks a lot for your reply I feel at least release, my Leo isn't dead :)

I did actually spent some time over google and this forum, but haven't identified any problems siilar than mine... Sorry about that.

Now you tell me that I'm supposed to reinstall, fine but... how? I know how to when you can connect the mobile to the computer with Active Sync, but without... no idea.

Could you please gie me a clue?
[HD2 General] nobnut:
Read this thread carefully.

All of the steps you need are in there.

First you will need to flash a compatible Radio if you haven't done this already.

Then you need to flash the Android ROM you want to use.
[Desire HD General] misirac:
Topic says it all, when shooting video in dark situations framerate drops to 10 - 12 -17 so it's frustrating! Since the specification of the video says that the variable frame rate if there is a chance to somehow locked at 30fps!

Great magicians of hacking help please!!!:(
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Nope, wait for a update from HTC and hope for the best... (for now anyway)
[Desire HD General] mdalacu:
Even if we set Exposure to -2 and ISO to 800 we can't achive 30 fps, so, if we lock frame rate to 30, in low light, it is possible that the video is to dark for us to do anything with it. :(

IMHO DHD have a poor camera sensor for low light.
[Desire HD General] l0w:
Yes or not enough processing power to handle the low light data in real time, or enough power but the processor is busy getting US stocks data for people who never trade in US stocks and running Facebook for people who dont have a facebook account and.....(long list of featutes that burn my cpu and battery but never use or want)

Sent from my HTC HD so may contain typos, bugs and, if the battery lasts, pearls of....(battery 0%)
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Haha, love the sarcasm :)

You do know you can remove all the crap you don't want like Stocks etc? One of the many joys of rooting your phone ;)
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I really wish there was a way to get the camera to shoot 30 fps in low light too :(

I really dont care how much noise will be introduced. 30 fps is most important. Is this even possible for a developer here to work on since this is HTC's own app and i think HTC dont release their source?
[Desire HD General] gamesmachine:
Have you tried shooting with flashlight on? Or setting the white balance manually, I'm sure I read somewhere that helps, turning off automatic white balance removes the annoying changes in brightness and helps improve framers alongside setting exposure to manual.

Be nice if it just shot un 30fps all the time like iPhone, I'm sure it will be sorted.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I have a gut feeling it wont be sorted. Take a look at the old Desire. It's camcorder is still shooting at 22 fps in optimal light! Probably less than 10 in low light. HTC just doesnt seem to care :(
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Do you own a Desire(old one)?From what you say I guess you don't.With the Desire,if you set the ISO to 800 you can record anything between 25 and 30 fps,even in low light.It introduces some more noise,but not that much more that what the iPhone does in low light.Dunno why the DHD doesn't change much with the iso... :confused:
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Nah dude there probably is no way. It's the hardware here that's the problem here.
[Desire HD General] vious21:
The problem is that the sensors in your camera need a certain minimum amount of time to get the picture to look correct.

I could tell you how to get it locked at 30, but then you would hate me because your video would turn out extremely blurry, and to that extent, so dark that you might as well have just recorded a black sheet of paper.

(This would of course come with rooting your phone, which I wouldn't think is a problem)

The thing is, its been coded into your device to reduce the frame-rate, so that you at least get a scene in a video at a bad frame rate, instead of black in a video with good frame rate
[Desire HD General] sergiu_07_07:
Yeah, but as I said before, there is a thing that when I focus the video there is a small interval of time(about 1/2 sec) when the frames seem to be normal(25-30).I don't know if this happens only on my device but before the gingerbread update I didn't notice this.You could try it or I can even send you a recording.And why does the camera sensor state that it can record @60 fps in light and 30 fps in dark?(according to this thread p=13510330)

I don't know very much about its camera and I don't say that I am right about this, but I want to improve the recording as much as possible.Even my friends MOTO Defy is better in low light.

Also will a custom rom improve the performance of recording?
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Custom roms dont improve the low light recording unfortunately.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
I don't think any sensor manufacturer can specify framerate in "dark" because how do you define "dark"? What your eyes percieve as "dark" is more like "pitch black" for a camera sensor. Especially a small crappy one that sits behind a small crappy lens. Remember that to have 30 fps, you should be able to "gather" enough light to make a properly exposed image for a 1/30 of a second. Take your point-and-shoot camera, or even a DSLR, set it to manual mode, set the ISO to 800, set the shutter speed to 1/30, set the aperture to f/8 for a 28mm equvalent focal length (if you are using DSLR, for a point-and-shoot with a smaller than DX sensor, you have to dial it even higher) and see what picture you can get with those settings. This is how much light hits the sensor for 1/30 of a second. This is how your videos will look like.

EDIT: You should not compare video recording framerate on phones that record in different resolution. DEFY can record up to 640x480 (if I'm not mistaken) which is 1/3 of the frame recorded with the DHD (1280x720). With a good recording algorithm this means three times more light per pixel (if the sensor is the same).

is there a way to take a .zip file that someone has posted, and cook it into the rom i'm building? its the droid x keyboard (themed). I took a look at the contents of the .zip and I'm not sure if I can just manually place the files or what? for instance in the system folder there is app/apk and lib/lib file. can i just take the apk and put it in /system/app and the lib file into /system/lib? and if so... what happens with the META-INF folder thats in there? and help is greatly appreciated!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok, you are trying to make a rom while you dont even know the components of a flashable zip???

in order to make the rom WORK, you will need to write about 275 lines of code (update-script), and thats just for amon-ra recovery (amend scripting). then, you also got edify scripting, which will be the norm soon. you will also need a 280 line edify script (updater-script) AND an edify binary coding page (update-binary). roms are not easy...

i would rethink making a rom, no offense meant.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4nic8:
thanks for you 2 cents. however irrelevant it may be. I'm not looking to write any code, either there is an easy way to place the .zip files in the rom or there isn't, in which case i will continue to flash through cwm
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:

hell no man, i'm not nearly smart enough to release a public rom. i found the htc kitchen the other night and a stock rom download that i have been playing with, trying to tweak it to my liking, last thing needed is this keyboard to boot without a separate flash!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
so thats where the confusion is coming from.

open up the META-INF/com/google/android/update-script file in the zip with a text editor. tell me what it says.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok no symlinks ur safe. just copy the files into the directorys they are in in the zip. for example, keyboard.apk in /system/app/ would be put in /system/app/ on the rom. ignore the META-INF folder that is for the sigs and scripts.

SuperText is an SMS application that replaces the standard SMS client.

Where it differs from other applications that also replace the standard SMS client, is in its ability to provide FREE SMS between SuperText users and the ability to include a location tag in messages you send.

Works with your existing SMS Inbox maintaining existing SMS conversations.

Displays all messages in threaded conversations.

Provides FREE SMS between SuperText users if both have data connectivity.

Uses your phone number as your identity to allow other SuperText users to locate you automatically.

Maintains all messages in the same thread even if some are delivered over data and some over SMS.

Faster delivery times over your data connection compared to SMS.

Switches between using SMS to deliver messages and IP delivery where appropriate.

Allows the inclusion of your location in messages sent to other SuperText users.

Shows Instant Messaging like feedback when the other party is typing.

It is available in the Market in the UK and Ireland and works on 1.6 and higher. The reason for the geographic restriction is that there is a server side component for the free SMS delivery and I want to manage the scaling of that to preserve the user experience as the service grows.

I appreciate any feedback you can provide and will monitor this thread and reply to questions and comments.

Thanks.

Version 1.83 has been released in the market:

Added limited support for MMS display. Text and image attachments are catered for, MMS messages are merged into the same threads as SMS messages.

Fixed bug when sending message via IP that could cause the sending dialog to persist.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] David Lightman:
Version 1.84 has been released in the marker:

Messages sent over IP are now "Store and Forwarded" on the handset. The handset will retry delivery of failed IP messages up to a configureable limit (default 5 minutes), if it still hasn't managed to deliver the message, it delivers it via traditional SMS.

Fixed registration problem on 1.5/1.6 devices.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] David Lightman:
Version 1.85 has been uploaded to the market:

Fix crash when queued up BACK presses were delivered to the application after it had been dismissed from the foreground.

Add heuristic to keep threads in order when messages are exchanged over IP by two handsets with skewed clocks.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] neilix:
Just discovered this today and it seems like a really good idea. Previously I've been using a combination of handcent and ping and so having something that could potentially replace the two is quite appealing.

I think it would be nice to see some visual customisation options like a dark theme etc., although I can understand that at the moment you're probably more focused on functionality. Definitely an app I'll be keeping hold of though. Looking forward to future updates.

Hi Neilix, thanks for the comments.

yea but if you run the first boot without the sd card in, do the registry tweak and then insert your memory card with the windows 7 partition already on then that should work right???

If i then restart and put my sd card back in all my settings are back including activation code i can log back into market the lot.
