[XPERIA X10 General] BULL3TPR00F:
Hey guys I have to send my phone back to Rogers because the USB connector ****ed up on me so theyre sending me a replacement, but i need to flash the stock Rogers rom back on before i send it in.

Does anyone have the Stock Rogers 2.1 ROM? OR can someone direct me to where i can get it?

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
How are you going to flash it if your usb connector is f-ed up?

Annyway, if you can't find the stock Rogers 2.1 ROM, I'd say try the 1.6 ROM and then update it
[XPERIA X10 General] BULL3TPR00F:
i dont need to use the usb connector to upload the rom, i can try and make it into an xrecovery installer, and then upload it to my phone thru my dropbox..

is it possible to convert the files into a xrecovery zip?

or i can find an existing file out there of a rogers branded stock/light mod 1.6 or 2.1 rom
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I'm sure there's atleast a 1.6 Rogers ROM, I remember flashing to it when 2.1 came out so that I could update
[XPERIA X10 General] BluechipJ:
I've got them uploaded from my multi-firmware pack back from November.

It's got 1.6 and 2.1 (Rogers).

Download it in the description of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85-WbEupcyg&hd=1 (There are two parts.)

I pm'd you about a possible solution.
[XPERIA X10 General] BULL3TPR00F:
ok so i got my replacement, did an adb pull /system and got all the files (im actually trying to find where adb put them lol)

but how can i go about flashing these files back to my old phone? can i do something like adb push /system ?
[XPERIA X10 General] BULL3TPR00F:
nvm actually i think im just gonna end up flashing the 1.6 decrpyted rom with flashtool

that should give me back the stock rogers 1.6 and no root..

is there any way to remove xrecovery? just delete the sd card files?

EDIT: SOLVED, FLASHED THE 1.6 FW AND EVERYTHING WORKED AS PLANNED :)

thanks for everyones help...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pantaleao:
Hello XDAers, I am using "Doc's XWJS5_Wipe v9_6 ROM, with a JP9_MultiCSC CSC, using hardcore's kernel, coupled with a JPY modem." (from romkitchen.org) and the battery is going down like 5% per hour on standby (with no WIFI, Data network such as G, 3G or H, GPS or even bluetooth), THIS IS MADNESS! If I use the internet via data network I doubt it will last 2 hours! :eek:

My installation method is the following:

-> Run a batch backup with Titanium Backup and save all apps / data.

--> Go into recovery and "install .zip from SD Card" (I always install a version with WIPE)

---> Boot the system up, install Go Launcher Ex, Titanium Backup and restore backups I have made.

After that, I have also noticed that lately, Go Launcher Ex is always reloading (but might be some installation bug or w/e)

Thanks in advance for any kind of help anyone is able to provide!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
try using the jpe modem?

I'm using the past version of the rom kitchen with xwjs3 and the default kernel and csc and my battery is just fine...

As far as I know JPE is one of the best modems with really good battery consumption (I think it is better that JPY)

edit: you should also use a static wallpaper
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pantaleao:
EDIT: Obrigado pelos tips Renato ;)

Hmmm I have a static wallpaper and the reason I don't use the JPE modem is that my reception is really really poor with that one. Thing that makes this even more weird is that when I was still using XXJPY I'm pretty sure the battery wasn't this bad.

Is anyone also having battery problems with this XXJS5 rom?

I'm running the same as you (JS5, Hardcore kernel,JPY m.m) and i don't see any problems with my battery (30% a day). Maybe try and reflash the rom with full battery? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbal:
No problem for me on JS5 with stock kernel. Especially in idle it's very satisfying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pantaleao:
Aww, I already read the FAQ yesterday and did all I could. Installed Spare Parts, checked the usage, used that script to fix the media scan bug etc etc.

Also flashed a completly fresh ROM and the battery usage is the same, dropping quite fast with no Data Network, Wifi, bluetooth, brightness on minimum and so on.

Thanks everyone for the tips, but noone of them were new to me.

Thanks you again.

I'm in exactly the same boat, been looking into it for a few weeks now.

If I find a solution I'll let you know ;)

Just out of curiosity, you say you disable the data network - are you using a widget/app to do this? When I go Settings > Wireless > Mobile Networks and disable "Use packet data" I find the drain almost disappears!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
Did you delete the thumbnail databases? Go into sgs tools, apply script and select delete thumbnail db. It's that or one of your app restores is corrupt.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smudgy456:
i am having a similar problem and id appreciate some help and advice.

i recently installed darkys resurrrection edition rom and i have noticed that the battery is draining extremely quickly. i have deleted the thumbnail databases that has been recommended and i have followed the instructions for calibrating the battery from this forum.

in the usage statistics my display takes up most of the usage with around 95-99% despite the fact that i have automatic brightmess levels set and ive been using the screen filter app that came with the rom - this seems an unusually high usage statistic.

i let my battery run out completely as part of the calibration process - when i plugged in my charger and turned the phone on the battery was showing there was 40% even tho it had just ran out which suggests it still isnt calibrated properly despite the fact that i followed the instructions and wiped the battery statistics as suggested.

can anyone advise me on how i might fix this issue and why the display might be showing up as area using up such a high portion of the battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crank5210:
Same here. When I flash with JM8 it's look ok. But with JPY, JS3, JS5 anyway I think with froyo 2.2.* I have problem with battery. my display takes up most of the usage with around 90-99%.

So I must to charge my phone every 4-5 h :mad: any idea??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
can anyone advise me on how i might fix this issue and why the display might be showing up as area using up such a high portion of the battery?

Yes clean install of stock rom wiping everything .

Display = major source of battery usage

stats say that the display has been the most used item .

Note if you install a custom rom then it makes sense to trawl the forum to see how many users have problems before installing .

and use a rom with some support .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crankboy:
Ok I install JM8 re-part. then I install JS5. clear cache etc ok. clean install. It's work very well 3 days, no batter problem. Then same problem again, every 5h (stand-by) I must to charge again again again... Really is there any solution? what can I do fix this problem?
[HD2 Accessories] matejdro:
So my HD2 headphones broken. Right earpiece won't work, but if i shake cable around 3.5mm jack a bit, it will start working for a moment and then back to silence. Also FM radio signal is very weak.

So i must get new ones. Now, should i get HTC ones or can i use any other headphones with working buttons and mic?

How do i know, what headphones are compatible with HD2 and have working mic and buttons?
[HD2 Accessories] suomi105:
If you need mic and buttons, you must get heaphones that has 4 pins in part that goes in the device.

Can't give pic, but google 4 pin headphones
[HD2 Accessories] halx:
The question was - what's the best ones? ;)
[HD2 Accessories] mf_1:
Sorry, can't answer your question because I've never change it until now.

But a hint if you want to try it: there are different jack layouts, sometimes GND is on pin 3, sometimes on pin 4. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly, Nokia and Blackberry headssets are just the other way round.

And together with the keys I'm afraid you need to buy an HTC replacement.

But perhaps, someone found a working replacement?

i tried the stock earpiece/mic (very good sound!!) that comes with the Nokia N900 but it crashes the HD2 so this seems to confirm the mixed up grounding pin.

But i also tried the stock earpiece/mic from the Samsung Galaxy Pad, which has a good sound too, and found it working perfectly.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] revolverXD:
im using nook color 1.1 with stock android,

and i was wondering if there's is an app similar to redshift/f .lux that will work on the nook.

redshift is a Linux app that will give the monitor red tinge, to prevent sleep problems you get from working on your computer in the night.

f ./lux it the windows version of redshift.

edit:

i forgot to mention that i tried screen filter and total screen control but they don't do what i want

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
It is possible to generate nandroid backups of unrooted ROMs, just not all that common. For example if you have previously applied ENG HBOOT, you could flash custom recovery from fastboot without actually re-rooting the ROM. The resulting nandroid backup will not have root.

Not sure what might cause this.

I'm running Andromeda 1.1 (but this started yesterday on Andromeda 1.0), ursa-minor kernel, ZKP1 modem.

All my notification sounds, ringtones play just fine, but anything related to 'media' won't play. This means sounds in games, any music or videos, any system sounds like menu clicks or phone keypad tones -- nothing has sounds associated with it, not even during bootup animation. I've tried pressing on the speaker, tapping the phone with & without batter on my hand, but none of that has worked.

It did this once before for around 5 minutes a few days ago, but then the sound came back after I put it into airplane mode & back out.

I'm hoping there's an answer before I flash back to stock to see if that's it.

SGS cappy i-897

build 1008

bought it 10/10, so 90 days is past, might see if I have a year on it from att, get it replaced.

Thanks in advance!

**EDIT**

reset to stock with ODIN (3 click fix), master clear, ODIN again, then factory reset on the phone, media/system sounds still not audible.

**EDIT 2**

Fixed. I happened to plug my speakers into the headphone jack to see if they worked, and lo & behold they did! After I unplugged them, all the media/system sounds work again. Flashed on a new rom, everything's right with the world again.

My current firmware, is not running good. It takes my phone like 15mins to boot, and lags alot!

I really want to get the best performance from my phone, but I was trying to stay to official firmware releases.

I am on o2, UK, and the only firmware update is from JP5, to JP6....

I am guessing this is a minimal change?

I do not know how to do I Kies hack, but its possible to use newer firmwares right? Any advice on how to do this?

Alternatively, should I update to JP6, and apply a lag fix? if so, which one should I use?

All advice is welcome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donald Nice:
I think you want to stay original because of warrenty reasons, right?

But.. ich you want to use a lagfix, you have to root your phone. And this is like flashing an unofficial firmware also a reason for loosing your waranty.

so if you want to stay officially, you can only update via kies without hack, or you can just try a factoryreset from the recovery menu.

With all other methods of getting a new firmware to your device, you may loose your waranty.. This is discussed very often here, because in a case of a hardware-defect your waranty is okay afaik, also if you flash an unofficial software.

If you want to know more, search the forum for waranty...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msolus:
Lets say you lagfix 2.2 with some kernel like voodoo nothing else.

Then you disable the lagfix and then update to 2.2.1 using kies when it comes out.

Kies will give you a completely new flash.

Isn't it very unlikely that Samsung will pick up on your modifications now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceGooner:
Mate, I am on an O2 UK contract and I was on JP5 before upgrading to JP6 in January with an O2U product code. But I never had any of the 15 minute boot problems you're talking about, nor was the odd bit of lag a real problem. Since then I got tired waiting for an O2 UK 2.2.1 upgrade, so I used the Kies hack to upgrade to JPY with a XEU product code. I know I might be technically violating my O2 warranty, but I can always flash back to JP6 via the Kies hack if I need to send the phone for repair, providing it's not totally dead in which case I'd probably report it accidentally lost under my phone insurance.

A factory reset would only reset you to the original state of that firmware - I'm pretty sure you will have to flash a new firmware - you can check threads here on how to do that. Its quite easy...

There is a thread about putting your phone back to stock...probably what you need.

Quick rundown for a return to official Mot rom:

When I activate the data connection, the band will automatically set in "AUTO" mode,

When I disable the data connections, the band is automatically set in "GSM" mode.

Does anyone know how to do (for the setup connections or by an software) ?

I realize it is not a free app and it probably does way more than you need, but I use PhoneAlarm to do automatic band switching. It certainly has the capability to switch between GSM and Automatic modes, based on all sorts of factors, like time, calendar status, or even location. One of the things I use it for is to switch between GSM and 3G, based on my GPS location, since my office has lousy 3G coverage.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jbs68:
Thank you very much for your help!! :)

But yes, phone alarm is too full, I would have liked to see something more simple, just an application like "Toggle BlueTooth" that allows the user to switch between GSM and 3G AUTO mode with one click! :rolleyes:

But thank you to you, it's very nice to have responded ;)
