[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notverycreative:
That seems pretty nasty. The PDA box is where your tarred ROM goes. The only ROMs I know of like this are stock ones, not the kinds you find in the forums normally. Once you track down one of those, try Odining again. To get into download mode, try unplugging it, taking the battery out, plugging it into a computer via USB, and holding down both volume buttons while putting the battery in. That always seems to work for me. Put the pit and PDA files in their respective spots in Odin and flash away. It has always worked for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeLynnie:
not working.

this sucks...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf7strng:
Your phone is NOT dead. Here is what you do..

1. remove battery,SIM, and external SD card from phone.

2. connect USB cord to PC...NOT to phone...Yet.

3.Now make sure you have Odin up and running

---PIT file goes in "PIT"

---MODEM Files (modem.bin) go in "Phone"

---Packaged ROM files (T959JI6.TAR, or T959JI6.tar.md5, for example) Go into the PDA Box

---DO NOT EVER check the re-partition box unless directed by a TRUSTED SENIOR forum member..So, since it's ME DON'T check it!

4.NOW Hold Vol up/Down on your phone.. DO NOT hold the power button.

5. Continue to hold vol up/down, plug in the USB cord to your phone.

6. Insert the battery into your phone.

7. If done correctly , you should now be in download mode. ODIN should show a "COM" port, and say "Added" in the status box. If it doesnt, start over from step 4. Good Luck!

That's right. I was a little of track stating the general operation of ODIN. +1 and thank you for you input as a senior member. I see you in a LOT of the topics I read.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iochoa2008:
Thank You

Saved My Phone.

Prior to reading your post it. odin would only get stuck in file analysis.

but by opening the program and setting the files prior to connecting the phone it was able to run the firmware update thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtyme:
I'm doing the same steps, however I'm getting a 'wipe error' when the phone starts up in recovery mode. Anyone else had this problem?

Odin is a finicky beast. Sometimes you can do everything the same way several times but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggalobatman:
ok so i used odin to flash my vibrant to stock and when it get to factory the screen goes to a brown or a greenish screen anyone know how to fix this it would help out a lot its been driving me nuts i have been online looking for like seven hrs.

thanks alot

this place allways helps me
[Nook Color General] schnem:
Maybe this has already been discovered but if you press and hold the volume down button and then press the n button it will capture the screen images.

My i9100 built-in Screen Capture Service default output is png format. How can I change it to jpeg format?:confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
I used this in my steampunk theme, but I really liked it so I thought I would make the png files available for any other devs that want to use them. They should work in the stock sense framework-res or the cm6/aosp framework-res without resizing or renaming...

To use these, you'll need to pull your framework-res.apk through adb and insert the files in my zip into the drawable-mdpi folder. Resign the apk and push it via adb or create a flashable zip (my pref.).

Enjoy!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jrny99:
can you install this zip file like u would a rom ? i.e. boot into recovery ?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] user7618:
No. It clearly says that the zip is his png files. You have to put them in your framework res, make your own zip, sign it, then you can flash.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] user7618:
Well, in that case, this won't help you unless you want to learn how to modify your framework-res. It isn't as hard as it sounds. :)

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
I did not create it as a flashable zip for one major reason... any zip file I made would cause the loss of the theme you're running. Since I'm unwilling and don't have time to do this for ALL the themes that are out there, I thought I would just offer up the files. Here are more detailed instructions on how to use. By the way, I learned EVERYTHING I know how to do with my Hero from this forum. The resources here are seemingly endless...

Here goes:

1. Make sure you have android-sdk installed

2. Get the Fresh Kitchen and donate to Flipz while your at it.

3. Plug your phone in via USB and then open a command prompt.

4. Go into your android-sdk-windows\tools directory in the command prompt.

5. Type

adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

6. Using 7-zip, Open the framework-res.apk file and then drag and drop the images from my zip file into drawable-mdpi folder of the apk.

7. create a folder on your drive like so: /system/framework/

8. move the framework-res.apk into the new folder.

9. zip the /system/ folder and it's contents.

10. Open the kitchen and go to tools, then sign a zip.

11. pick your newly created zip file as the source.

12. lable your the signed zip as "signed_*.zip" or something like that so you'll know it's different.

13. after the zip is signed, copy the signed zip to your sdcard.

14. reboot to recovery and NANDROID!!!!

15. flash the zip.

16. reboot and enjoy.

Hope that helps.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaburger:
Howdy. I'm trying to run tiad's froyo x build (tried different builds) and each version I try has the same problem. Everything works except for the browser. When I try to load w w w .google.c o m it crashes and boots back into WM. It doesn't matter if i'm on wifi or 3g. The only thing that keeps the problem from happening is if I disable Javascript.

I'm running the modified build from the 12th with 3d and CAM support. I have a verizon tp2 (rhod500).

Does anyone have a clue how i can get this to work WITH javascript?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] pinkgabe:
im running the latest cm nightly #15 and the lock screen sounds are way too quiet. i installed the same rom on my dad's nexus and the lock screen sounds are audible. ive checked everything and i can't seem to find the problem. anyone have any ideas on whats wrong?
[Nexus One General] doomi77:
Clear cache and flash again...
[Nexus One General] k_myk:
I have opposite question: Is there ANY way to make those sounds more quiet? I mean, those sound override ringtone and notifications volume and that's annoying. I didn't ever use them because of that and I would if I could make their volume a little lower...

Cheers!
[Droid X General] MrKazman:
Okay so I've got a theory about Motorola encrypted bootloaders like the ones on DX and Milestone. What I'm looking for is definitive information on the droid x lockout mechanism. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of a broken DX to utilize for this experiment please let me know. It involves a hardware based process so a complete functional phone is not necessary. This method has been known to work with RSA encryption so it shows promise. Thank you.

MrKaz
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:
From what I've heard, the "key" so to speak, in burned into the CPU itself. Its my understanding the only true way to unlock the BL is with Moto's keys, which we wont be getting any time soon. Whatever your plan is, I wish you the best. But we've had roughly 20+ of these threads come and go on here with everyone thinking they can crack it, and nothing ever pans out. Its a matter of the right people with knowledge and the right equipment to do the job, but those things have just not come together yet.

Once again, I wish you the best!
[Droid X General] gpaulu:
You may want to contact @aliasxerog, @_mrbirdman_, and/or @nenolod on twitter as they have all worked on trying to break/circumvent the bootloader. @P3Droid may be knowledgeable as well.
[Droid X General] MrKazman:
Yeah, I realize there's been a lot of threads on this. Having read a good deal of them I've determined that for the most part the consensus is that it can't be done, or at least not by any brute force means. However, I'm interested in other ways like signal injection and other hardware based avenues. After all, it is a chip and chips have flaws... Maybe I don't know enough to realize what it would take, and maybe being too stupid to understand that it can't be done is exactly what is required...

Thanks for all your input

MrKaz
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
MrKaz,

+1 to your idea. Hey, who knows what will work.. with all that is going on, I wouldn't be surprised if the one idea that works..is some off the wall idea such as a chip flaw... Go for it man... I say take the idea and run with it.

best of luck
[Droid X General] theherodrownd:
Your idea is one that I have been working on. All that needs to happened is find a way to dump the info to a computer and resign or make a dummy key to patch and inject back in.. unfortunately I have yet been able to inject anything because once dumped and cleared it doesn't regonize still active.. blah DX
[Droid X General] tekahuna:
Is this the electron starvation method that you speak of? From my understanding, that's a server exploit. Not really useful for a DX.

You want to be gamed up with the isht? #milestone-modders on freenode

Boooooooooooooooo...

_mrbirdman_ & nenolod dropped the ball and jumped ship.

P3Droid is better at BS and espionage than development. I mean, who actually uses tranquility? Or hasn't been bricked by it? Beside, what's been the biggest draw TBH has had to their app? The tether patch? If you were me, you'd be LYAO... LOL

As for @aliasxerog, from what I've seen, I've got very little faith that his efforts will pan out. Unless he stops looking to the above mentioned "devs", and starts working with the milestone guys. Especially yakk, who's probably done the most work on the kexec kernel module(Funny, aliasxerog's src makes no mention. He just says he ported it from the milestone efforts.). Yakk hasn't even released all of his code for kexec, so what aliasxerog is working with is incomplete, and certainly not up-to-date. His source doesn't even compile. Not even on my trusty build system that built the first DX overclock kernel module for Froyo, which jumped off JRummy's DX career(Jared didn't even bother to say "hey, mind if I use the module you built?"). Gotta love the DX devs! They bring so much laughter into my life!

.....

With that said, MrKazman, good luck in your efforts.

You may want to take a look at this. I think it's about the milestone, but it is similar to if not the same as the droid x

[Droid X General] Syco54645:
Didn't notice that you mentioned jared. I rather like him. Let's just leave it at that...
[Droid X General] MrKazman:
Update

I'm getting more and more familiar with this situation every day. I'm also starting to realize what a big problem this is. I've spent a good deal of time pouring over the work they're doing with the Milestone which is kind of the same thing but isn't. Nonetheless I applaud the work they do and donate my CPU to Androinc. After that I've been reading and collecting every Block Diagram, Datasheet, Whitepaper, and post about mbmloader, m-shield, omap, and the like. Yeah, its complicated alright. The fact is though that its just a lock. A lock is a system based on deterrent not prevention. Systems built for mass production have accepted flaws to keep costs down. Chips aren't perfect, code is not perfect. Use the weakness against the system and the lock is picked. The more complex the system the more chances to get in....

Eh, I digress...

Anyone wanting to learn more about this let me know.

The search continues....

Motorola, I paid for the Hardware. I can handle my own software and security...
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
The Bootloader has been bypassed, its just that the custom kernel has no drivers to run.
[Droid X General] btucker2003:
Well ill drive to help out...as long as someone has some snaps on the petro!
[Droid X General] IWHBYD:
If this is anything like any other locked software, it's based around asymmetric encryption: Motorola HQ has a super-secret key that they use to encrypt their bootloaders, and they put the decryption key on every device, so that only things that are encrypted with their key will be decrypted correctly. The only way we're going to get the encryption key is by sleeping with the CEO of Motorola. It is - by design - not on the device.

The only way to replace the bootloader would be to replace the decryption key with one of our own or by bypassing it completely(using a buffer overflow or something similar).
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
As much as I want to believe that this can be done, its close to impossible and honestly not worth the persons time to try it, they did a good, well great, job of locking this thing down but ill say that liberty actually makes this feel like a new phone.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davo1224:
Despite whatever notifications I have and whatever ROM or kernel I use (even stock), the trackball won't flash. It simply lights up at random whenever I'm using the phone. I can also send an echo command to the correct directory and make the trackball light turn on or blink so I know it's working. What could possibly be wrong? It also won't come on at all if the display is off. Is that normal? I'd like to use that for notifications instead of the LED but it's no good if it only works with the screen on.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
The trackball light isn't used for notifications. I think I have seen some apps for using the trackball for notification, but if not you will have to do some xml editing to use it for notifications. If the other lights come on but not the trackball it could be a problem with the rom. When porting a rom from one phone to another there has to be edits to files to make it work. If none of the lights come on, then it is because your phone deems it bright enough where you are at.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davo1224:
Ah alright. Out of curiosity, do you know which .xml file I'd have to edit? Or rather if it's even possible for it come on with the screen off in a Sense 2.1 rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartis:
Hey guys,

im pretty new to custom ROMs and i cant ask this in the Starburst Thread because of the > 10 posts rule.

I currently have an older version of Starburst with Data2SD running perfectly on my Desire. Now theres a new version out and i want to update.

The things i would do now:

1. Nandroid backup everything of course.

2. Flash the new ROM

3. Immediately flash the Data2sd Reinstall zip

4. Profit ??

Will i keep all my apps and their settings with this method ?

Sorry for this low-level question but i couldnt find an answer anywhere to this.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
That is correct! :D

Everything that you have asked is answered in the original post in the starburts thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark1316:
The 10 post rule ? Thats only for asking questions on a thread ?

It should not hamper your ability to read the thread ?

Its amazing what you can find out without asking questions ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartis:
First of all thanks Raymond for your answer.

Thanks also to you mark for repeating what raymond said but instead with pointless flaming.

I hate people who cant read as much as the next guy but can you please show me where exactly in the Starburst OP the answer to my question is ? (I also read most of the thread, nothing there too.)

It seems like this knowledge is so basic that it doesnt get mentioned anywhere anymore.

Edit: Maybe I should have made my OP clearer: My only question was if i will keep all my apps and settings when flashing a new ROM version. Dunno why i repeated the installation steps, but my whole reason for this thread was to ask about the apps & settings, which doesnt get answered in the Starburst thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark1316:
if you back up your stuff with something like mybackup you should be ok ? If you do a nand and the back up dont work you can alway use that ?

Best option to try if your feeling lucky is back up then nand then just flash over ? Worst that can happen is you need to restore the nand ?

Finally there is some great news for all HTC HD2 owners looking for an official CyanogenMod 7 Android 2.3 Gingerbread custom ROM. Android hacker and developer, Charansingh, has released the first official CyanogenMod 7 Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM for the HTC HD2.

Theres a thread about this in, I think, the HD2 Android general thread. Alot of stuff is broken and not working in this build. It was a really bad idea to post this
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sirphunkee:
When the chef wants to release it here on XDA, then they will do so themselves. For these types of things, our policy is not "assume it's ok unless they say otherwise", rather "assume it's not ok unless they specifically say it is".

We're well aware that it's been posted elsewhere on the net, but that doesn't mean we're obligated to propagate it here, and doing so is flat-out disrepectful to the devs as a whole.

When we receive word directly from the chef that this is ok with them, then we will be more than happy to allow it.
