[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
1. Boot your phone in fastboot

2. Run the ruu that matches your phone.

You need a T-mobile branded ruu.

You can look here for one that matches. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo

I think you can try an UK one, because it is multilingual.

If it is giving you the same errors, then you picked a wrong version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
well it said "incorrect cid" even with a t-mobile branded ruu :/

:(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If you are rooted, then boot into the bootloader and flash a custom rom. Then create a gold card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Yes, try that too, if you can.

Also use a NOA2SD Rom if you dont have ext partition. Or create one on your PC (if you want to use an A2SD ROM).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
How can I flash a Rom using the bootloader?

Simply rename the zipped Image of a custom Rom into "PB99IMG.zip", put in on the SDcard and boot into HBOOT?

Thank you :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Yes, if you rooted with unrEVOked. Boot in to recovery (clockworkMOD/AmonRa) wipe all data and flash a CUSTOM rom.

You don't have to rename it, it can be anything as soon as it is .zip
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
Uhm...flashing a custom rom in general is no problem...but i can't access Recvoery :o

as described in the initial post of the thread only the bootloader (HBOOT) and fastboot are working. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Yeah, sorry, my bad.

Well you can try to falsh it via PB99IMG.zip, but i won't think it work.

your only hope is finding a working RUU. (at least seems to me, if you can access only fastboot).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuloop:
Hi all, have same trouble with flashing via PB99IMG, but in my case, the device normally loads the firmware and returned to fastbut. When you try to go to recovery device hangs on the logo. Фfter removing the battery and re-attempt to restart the device, it begins to vibrate 7 times and then freezes on the logo. What do these vibration?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
PB99IMG.zip will work as you don't need recovery. Just put it on the root of your SD card and boot into HBOOT. It'll find the file and flash it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercury5:
did renaming rom to pb99img nd flash via hboot work for you?

i have a similar problem, rather same prob, only fastboot available
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
To let this thread maintain usefullness for future readers:

The solution was to take a goldcard from a friend and flash the right (matching hboot, provider and version) RUU, by using the PB99IMG method.

By this the phone will be set back to it's delivery state! This will include the Rom, all data in the NAND storage the recovery and everything else, which got modified like getting root access or S-OFF etc.

Troubles were caused by USB-Brick or an error on my old ext3 partition or maybe even corrupt data in my Titanium file-backup I restored a few days before the crash :/

I can't clearly say what is the main cause...maybe it was a combination of all.

If you don't have got any chance of getting another goldcard (yes the goldcard creation does NOT depend on the devices! It can be created with ANY android phone :)) you are really screwed.

My advice: Always keep a spare microSD card, equipped with it's goldcard image around!

Because I was not able to find any method to echo the CID (Id of the SDcard) in fastboot.

Greetings :)

And good luck to all of you having comparable issues :)

So Ive been a "member" of this forum for going on 3 years and just today Ive been promoted to a member! ahahaha :D

I started with my favorite phone ever the HTC 8525, loved the dev team for that phone ...but i broke the screen on that. So i moved to the HTC Magic 32A and great devs there really hard workers and i sort of miss that phone. But now i am on to the amazing Xperia X10! Glad i have this phone IMO it is one of the best phones on the market now thanks to the devs here.

anyways back to the topic;

To be honest i'm sort of proud of that because it goes to show how much you can learn from the handy dandy SEARCH BUTTON! :P

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Send the link to @Tonic_Acid, he can do it.
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
I guess I will have to wait for Tonic. I was trying to make it myself, but I can't get it to actually play during startup. Does anyone know if there is an upper limit to the number of images the boot animation will support?

This video is 560 frames played at about 25 fps. I can try removing some of them that are nearly identical in the beginning to cut it down some, and maybe from other areas.
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:

Success.

There ya go

I'm wanting to get it so it is larger and rotated 90° to the right. I think it would look better.
[Vibrant General] ionballer:
Did not work for me im running :-( vibrant nero 5 with voodoo
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
You can extract ANY rom and replace the boot animation files with these.

Re-zip the sucker and flash as normal.

The files are in \system\media as "bootanimation.zip" (surprise!) :)
[Vibrant General] ionballer:
Will give it a shoot and will let you know!
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
Give it a shot instead and lemme know :þ
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
If you clicked through to the example youtube showing it booting up on a Motorola device and scrolled down..you would have found this...

If you read the whole thread you'd see I posted it here :)

You're welcome, and thanks for playing :þ
[Vibrant General] ionballer:
it is awesome!!! thanks for the suggestion on packing it in to the rom worked like a charm! i do agree i think it should be turned 90 degrees and blown up a little and should slow the animation down just a little bit! over all this is the sickest boot screen!
[Vibrant General] Djnasty18:
I tried extracting and rezipping didnt work can some one pls flash it with nero 5 thanks
[Vibrant General] ionballer:
here you go bro

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXZQNPEW
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
I've been working on just this, but for some reason it only plays 1/2 of it and then goes blank. Been really frustrating as I have been following Tonic's directions to the letter. Gonna start from scratch and see if I can get it.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
How many frames are you using?
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
I've tried using all 560 frames from the original movie. I also had it only process every other frame and exported 280 to use that. Both ways, it only seems to play part0 and then go to a black screen. I checked some of yours and you have more in them than that.

I have been playing with the FPS and the timing to wait before playing part1. Same thing every time.
[Vibrant General] MWBehr:
With all the OTA crap threads, I'm glad to someone actually posted something interesting :)
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
Flak.

That is way too many frames and it probably confuses the android system.

Check into all the other custom animated startup files, no ones using any more than about 30-40 frames.

Try it again with like every 5th frame and then adjust the frames per second to get the duration you want.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

Should work in most cases the first 0 in the part1 can be changed to 1 if you dont want it to loop. I run most of my boots at 35 fps or higher. The magic number is 250 frames if your keeping the images 480X800 thats how many frames are in the boot animation for the new axura.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
Ummm.... I have like 500 frames in the bullet bootanimation. I did so it all depends on file size and fps. Use virtualdub and decrease the quality of the jpegs to 70%.
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
Tried it again. Processed at 40fps and every other frame so I had 280 frames. Exported the images as .jpeg at 75%. I then deleted just over 30 frames off the end so it was less than 250 frames total. Batch processed them in Gimp to rotate and change the image size slightly. Seperated them into part0 and part1. Made the desc.txt file as follows:

Zipped up exactly as you say in your thread. Pushed to /system/media and rebooted. Plays 1/2 the frames and goes blank.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
Can you upload the file. I will have a look to see if i can get it working.
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
Attached. I also tried 400 712 40 for the first line of the desc.txt file to reflect the actual resolution of the images. Not sure if that would be the right thing to do or not.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
Looking at it why are you using two parts? Put all your images in the part0 folder take the part1 string out of the desc file and test it
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
Did 2 parts because your directions in your thread said to. But I tried using just part0 too a couple different times. Tried it again now, and get nothing at all. No animation, just a black screen. Rezipped twice and pushed to the phone.

I appreciate the help Tonic. Think I am going to set this aside for today. Spend too much time at work on it. Need to actually get some of my job done.

Edit: I decided to try it one more time, and for whatever reason it worked this time. I have all 560 frames in it. Runs perfectly. Attached for anyone else who wants it.

Thanks again for your help Tonic.
[Vibrant General] Tonicacid:
lol oh...yeah the second folder is only needed if you want that part to loop. Just got home so I will fool around and see if i can get it to work.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Worked fine for me (running Nero 5). Thanks! I like it! It'd be nice if the images were a little higher res though. :D
[Vibrant General] fatihaky:
how can i apply this boot animation? I tried CW but phone was frozen afterwards
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
All I did was use SUFBS to push the .zip where post #10 says to. I renamed my original to bootanimation2.zip in order to keep it and just copy/pasted the new one in \system\media

Clockwork Mod won't work for this.
[Vibrant General] JDNeudecker:
Can i apply this if i'm using the stock froyo update? i have sufbs but don't see a bootanimation.zip there. and i try moving the one i downloaded to it and it doesn't see to paste it in the directory.
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
After downloading the proper one posted flak_monkey on post #30, I

1. renamed my existing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation2.zip

2. copied over Flak's bootanimation.zip to /system/media

3. rebooted and am getting stock andriod image on boot up now.

note: did this with ES file explorer.

Any suggestions to getting this to work?
[Vibrant General] shoerhino:
Did you set the permissions so that all three levels (owner, group, and others) can read it?
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
I have not. Can you recommend a free file system explorer that will allow me to change permissions? ES file explorer, astro and androzip do not seem capable of this. Last I checked root explorer is a paid app. Thanks for the tip this is my first issue with permissions.

Used to windows where system has full control of everything. didn't bother thinking about it.
[Vibrant General] shoerhino:
I used a program called Super Manager. There is a file explorer application in that package that allows you to use super user rights but you have to grant the superuser rights in the options menu of the file explorer. When I went to grant superuser, it looked like the application locked up and the system forced close but when I went back it, super user rights were granted.

I think you want to set the rights so that the owner had read / write, the group has read, and others have read. Hopefully, that will work. I'm trying to learn all of this as I go too.
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
worked like a charm, thanks.
[Vibrant General] ecooce:
Ill try to make an update.zip for this tomorrow...
[Vibrant General] blakemoo:
Im looking forward to the update.zip... thanks all for continuing to be awesome!
[Vibrant General] proresearch:
also looking forward to the update.zip, I tried extracting and replacing, then rezipping, but when i went to flash my updated rom nothing happened, it just got hung on the installation, so I had to reboot my phone and it booted back up normally to bionex v
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
Tried it...just placed the bootanimation on internal sd, used root explorer and nav'd to system/media>bootanimation.zip and renamed. Went back to internal sd and moved bootanimation.zip into system/media and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted.

Works as advertised... just wish it was rotated 90 and a little higher quality.

Good Job on the work though..
[Vibrant General] ecooce:
I should have a working version tomorrow no prob,I get off at 7am est... So I will work on it as soon as I get home.
[Vibrant General] ecooce:
For some reason I thought I was in the Epic forum,,, I dont know if you guys have a kernel that supports boot ani.zips... Do you all use CWM3 that supports edify scripts or do you nee amend scripts... Ill still work on this but I have some problems with my ROM at the moment which may take up some time.
[Vibrant General] MWBehr:
Yes, most of our kernels support boot animation.zips, no we're not on CWM3, so no edify for us.
[Vibrant General] proresearch:
can someone post up a nice wall paper or a live wallpaper to go with it, maybe a similar live wall paper.
[Vibrant General] ecooce:

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] xdeified:
So I edited the video to make it 480 x 270. It just runs tooooo slow. It has the 560 frames as the other one does. Any suggestions?

This is the boot animation turned 90 degrees

Never mind, I got it to work. The problem was that the files resolution was suppose to be 480 x 279. I swapped the bootanimation from the CWM above and this should work. Tried it on mine and it worked out nicely. Although it isn't high quality, I figured to keep the size appropriate.
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
Go for it.
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
Thank you Flak_munky,MWBehr, & Proresearch for the great work,& help :-) !!!
[General Questions and Answers] Cyndgriffith:
Hi, I am not very tech saavy and so I am hoping that I can get some good advice from people who are more techy than me. I hear alot about rooting for android devices but I'm not too sure of exactly what rooting is other than I understand that there are certain capabilities that you can't do unless your phone or android device is rooted. In my case I have a Galaxy Tab, I would like to be able to have a back up feature but I keep on coming across the phrasing that the device must be rooted first. I looked up a couple of websites to find out exactly what rooting means and they mention the pros of rooting, but I am wondering what the cons are and if it is really necessary for me to root my device or is this something that is meant more for the "advanced" users who may be using their devices for more serious persuits vs. the casual user who just likes to play here and there...I really hope that what I am trying to say makes sense to all you out there! So in a nutshell, I guess what I'd really like is a breakdown of the pros and cons of rooting your device and when and when NOT to do it...Thank you all for your thoughts!
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
It's up to the user to decide whether there is a function they need, that they can only get through gaining root access to the phone. It could be that you want to alter the appearance of your phone beyond what is normally possible, or there are features included in a custom ROM that you would like to have.

You mentioned wanting the ability to backup your phone and there's no better way than to root and flash a custom recovery to achieve that. With that done you can image your phone state to your SD card so that it can be restored in it's entirety any time you wish. (Nandroid Backup).

There are also apps that can only work with a rooted device which can give you more advanced control over your device. One example is Rom Manager which is commonly used to flash custom recoveries and ROMS to your phone, and gives you an easy way to manage your Nandroid backups. Of course there are many others.

Thanks to the hard working devs on xda it's never been easier to do all these things. If you want to learn more i would suggest having a look at SuperOneClick and Rom Manager and reading the appropriate threads. Browse through guides and ask questions when you want to know more.

Hope that helps.

BTW, the only 'cons' to rooting and having a custom recovery is that you lose the ability to receive official over the air updates while your phone is in that state. Restore the Nandroid backup you made of your stock ROM though and you can re-gain that ability. I suppose the biggest 'con' of all is people not doing their research and ending up with a non-functioning device when something goes wrong. As always, RTFM! :)

Hello,

I have realized that my Samsung Galaxy Tab does accept .apk fonts (which you would install just like any other app), but I cannot make any .ttf file work.

My Galaxy Tab is rooted, with Root Explorer on it.

I tried some of the tips which I found on the internet about renaming the DroidSans.ttf, but it does not work.

Could someone please, give me a step-by-step guide on how I can make this work? I have quite a collection of .ttf files which I would find nice if I could really use them :) - Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] b0ricuaguerrero:
i believe sgs tools will let you flash fonts
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Edit DroidSans.ttf, go to settings --> display --> font, ensure that it's set to "Default". You may need to reboot

I have checked SGS Tools - have the app on the Galaxy Tab - but I cannot find any function which would allow me to do that. - Does anyone else know, maybe?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exostenza:
Just wondering what you guys think the best modem is for Rogers in Canada when using GT-9000 modems. KP1 had bad GPS, terrible reception and bad call clarity so that one is out. JL3 is good for everything, but calls seem to lag when going out and information takes a bit to start flowing to the phone. I haven't used JK4, but will try it soon.

What have you guys used and what are your experiences?

Hi

I'm also looking for this information. I recently updated to Rogers stock Android 2.2, flashed the speedmod kernel so that I can have the BLN and now when I try to do voice over bluetooth in my car all I get is static. I've done a bunch of reading and this seems to be due to the use of the stock i896 modem with the i9000 based speedmod kernel, correct?

So, in light of this, what modem should I be using on my Canadian Rogers Captivate i896?

Thanks
