[Vibrant Android Development] Generic112:
One question for those more technologically savvy than I. One step says to "Flash a Kernel with Clockworkmod recovery 2.X or 3.X osing odin", and it links to Eugene's dead horse. Do you think an Odin flash of that kernel is required (Since I haven't seen a recent kernel in .tar format or whatever), or would a CWM flash suffice (Since I assume it's meant so the efs-backup tool can be used)? It seems to me that the steps are meant to mirror those given for the GT-I9000 version, so I don't know if that Odin flash is required or if it's just matching the Odin flash of the "speed-mod" kernel. Also, if it is required, anyone have an Odin flashable CWM ready kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
I believe it wants you to flash the kernel they listed using Clockwork or ODIN. As you see, further down, you will flash ONCE again another kernel, this time the CM7 kernel which you will be using with the ROM.

The first kernel you are flashing is used for doing a backup of some files I believe. Hence, you can use most kernels is my understanding.

Also yes, the steps are a MIRROR of the I9000 steps and for a good reason. The I9000 steps work just FINE for installing CM7 on the Vibrant but you need to replace the I9000 kernel with the Vibrant CM7 kernel. That should be the only difference. If you don't, you will have your keys be reversed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Generic112:
That was my first thought, since all you need to do is run the efs-backup.zip. It was just weird since it asked you to Odin the kernel rather than CWM flash it (But like I said, it really looks like he just copied the GT-I9000 steps and changed the .zip names). I know it's not the final kernel, but it just seemed odd to request an Odin of it. Oh well, off to test this build.

And I know the GT-I9000 build runs fine, since that's what I'm running now. I was just curious as to whether the idea was to Odin the kernel for some reason, or if the end goal was just to have a CWM enabled kernel to flash the efs backup.

[Vibrant Android Development] kaizasoshi:
Pinch me I must be dreaming :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] allthrottle:
Better for the Vibrant than the i9000 build on the vibrant. It has a kernel built specifically for the vibrant and hardware keys fixed.

Also, I'm guessing (and hoping) the home button works and no need for the headset toggle app?
[Vibrant Android Development] Hexmaster93:
Thanks hopefully they fix the camera on this one like they did on the I900

hey everyone i just wanna first say that I have gotten a new phone called Touch pro 2. I really want to add themes but i cannot. I downloaded the TF3D CONFIG also and no luck. Everytime i download a theme i dont know where it goes. It would be sooooo thankful and I would be really happy to recieve some help. Sorry I have real bad ocd and I stayed up all night trying to figure it out. Please help me.:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mr.horndoctor:
You just download the Theme cab file to your device which will save to your My Documents folder or your Storage Card. Disable TouchFlo3d or Sense by going from the Start menu to Settings/Personal Tab/Today and uncheck it and click OK. Then using File Explorer find the cab you downloaded and click on it to install. Select install to device. Then soft reset(reboot) and re-enable TouchFlo3d/Sense.

I had Streakdroid 1.80.

Follow the directions above but only the last OC 1.6 to At&t 1.6

Make sure you have OEM recovery flashed. Streakmod etc wont work.

Put the 3 files on your current system. And the new rom on the SD.

Flash the boot.ing as instructed and then restart your current rom. After it finishes turn on development in the applications settings. Then reboot into recovery. Then install from update.apk this will install the new AT&T rom. If if fails flash boot.img again and repeat.

FYI: the new 340 does not look any different then the 318 or 170 for that matter.

DJ's roms are better and faster. But if OEM is your desire do this.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
I'm on 2.2 318 and am trying to go back to stock 1.6 but after extracting all the system files to the sd, completing the steps for that and flashing the new boot.img- I can't get my Streak to boot fully into Android to apply the 1.6 update.... If I try to boot it sticks at the Dell logo, no animation, just the logo with all 3 soft keys lit. If I go into Recovery and try to apply the update, I get a signature verification failure error. I also tried a factory reset from Recovery but cannot get passed the logo.

I have done this a trillion times before without any issues. Why won't it cooperate now? I have one of the temperamental Streaks that only likes Official Stock ROMs. I get FCs and freezes out the whazoo on anything but so thats why I am going to Stock AT&T 1.6 and update to their 2.2...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:
Try using the repair tool that will put a 2.2 rom on it.

You don't have to go to stock 1.6. Just follow the instructions on your current system and it will let the new AT&T 2.2 install. I always to a factory reset before installing a new rom. That stops FCs for me.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBopper:
Hi -

Could you be more specific on "OEM recovery"?

I have downgraded from 318 all the way back to US OEM 1.6 with BB of 31 which matches OEM version. Build number 6601. btw: I had to do a Nandroid flash to get it to 1.6.

It downloads the 340 update fine but gets hung up on the install process - stuck on logo.

Seems like I need to flash the right recovery but I always get a blank screen when I boot into recovery and choose update from SD card.

Can you link me to the right recovery file?

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
I do have a 2.2 rom installed already. I used the QDL tool to get it there so I shouldn't have to do it again... I tried updating to AT&T's new 2.2 yesterday from the 2.2 (318) I am currently on but it won't let me. I thought I had to go back down to 1.6 and get my update via notification but now my Streak wont get off the logo.

I hope this is making sense because from what you said, I don't think it does. Its hard to type what my problem is in a way that all can understand.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenekim618:
I am on Rogers and had the same problem. Was on 2.2 through QDL tool. I got an email from Rogers that their official 2.2 update was now available.

Downloaded the update, it wouldn't install.

Probably because baseband is different?

Anyway, did the same thing, tried downgrade back to O2's 1.6, then hopefully AT&T's 1.6, but got stuck after getting down to 2.1. Black screen during update.pkg, Dell logo only when just doing a normal boot.

Tried loading 1.6, 2.1 Rom's again to no avail.

Managed to get the phone working again using the QDL tool to get back to 2.2.

Tried doing the Rogers update again, but not working.

Help!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
I can't get mine to boot normal unless I use the QDL tool to pull it out of the logo screen. If we already have a US Basdeband we shouldn't have to upgrade to O2 and back down again, right?

What do the people, like myself, do who are on the 2.2 318 via QDL Tool build to get the AT&T 2.2 rom released yesterday?? I am already on a US AT&T rom so what sense does it make to have to upgrade to an O2 rom and go back to AT&T (I am thinking out loud...).

I don't want Steve's ROM or anything else... my phone does not play well with those. I want the new official 2.2 released to AT&T locked Streaks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:
There are three files that need to be in place. and a boot.img file that is installed from fastboot.

Look at what he says to do the the 1.6 non at&t rom and do that to any 2.2 and it worked.

But really 318 is that same thing. and Streakdroid 1.8.0 is 100% better.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cingulartreo:
I finally bought root Explorer from the market. If there is a free alternative that can change your /system file to r/w (read/write) I could not find one.

You HAVE!!!!!!@!!!!!!!!! (no other alternative, dont think you are smarter than anybodye else, is non-negotiable) to move the 3 files over into your /system file, because the update will not go through. It says there is a "device mismatch" (or something like that). I tried to short circuit all the processes at every step and was unable to beat the system.

Heres what ya gotta do:

1. Follow the part about downgrading to 1.6, then check for software update.

If you have upgraded to ANY other version of 2.2 ya gotta move the 3 files over.

http://xdaforums.com/show...92&postcount=4

Finally I gotta say that it is not worth all the fuss really. You lose tethering and installing outside apps. You gain nothing.

This release is best for djSteve, because he can take all the good parts of this build and put into his next release of streakdroid.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
I have done all that, many many times before and it has always worked but this time it isn't working. I have done the root explorer thing. My phone will not boot passed the logo after all the steps have been completed. I cannot figure out whats causing the problem. I have downgraded to US AT&T 1.6 several times in the past with the method you and everyone else state but this time I am getting nowhere.

I hosed mine to a black screen that would not turn on.

The repair tool would not get it going.

I found streakflash I tried to get a link, I'll keep looking.

I launched steakflash.

I pulled the battery put battery and back on. As I plugged in the cable I held the UP volume button. Streakflash recognised it and I ran it through.

That got me back up. I forget what ROM it was. I then ran repair tool.

That puts 2.2 pre release.

If I can do it anyone can.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
Thats what I'm trying to say... the only way I can get out of the logo is by doing this. I am on the pre-release of 2.2 as of now but I want to downgrade to AT&T 1.6 and back to the new AT&T 2.2 rom but it wont cooperate with me. Whenever I try, I get the silly logo and have to use QDL to get me unstuck.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:
Ok. Forget going to 1.6. Download the Rom and the files and. OTA won't work.

Follow the instructions and put the three files and the boot.ing on your 2.2 Rom.

Put the new update.pkg on the sd

Reboot recovery select to instal and it will install it.

I have done this twice.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
It will not work!! I keep getting the status 7 error which then sends it to reboot but never gets pass the logo! The only way to get out of the logo is to pull the battery and use QDL to put me back at 318.

Whats the malfunction with this? I have always managed to update in the past. Why won't this one go through?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanemburghj:
First off I did quick scan of this post so if I am repeating I apologize in advance. You MUST go back to AT&T 1.6 with no Streakmod or Clockwork need Dell recovery program. 340 does a scan as it loads and if finds you modified the Steak in anyway stops the install. I had to purchase Root Explorer to complete my conversion, only thing I can say is Root Explorer is worth the money, as for 340, if you are running Steve's ROM with no problems stay with it. Here is the link to the instructions I used, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4, good luck.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:
If you install the three files and flash the boot.img file to a 2.2 rom and have the new 340 apk as update.apk on the sd it will install. I have done it twice. Once from 1.7.0.and once from the pre release 2.2.

BUT it is not worth the trouble. 318 is a better stock rom.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnj79:
I could not be more serious right now when I tell you mine would not work that way... I had to go from 318 2.2> O2 2.1> O2 1.6 and am FINALLY booting into AT&T 1.6 as I type. A lot of people have Streaks that aren't able to do as yours did, mine is one of them. I don't know if its because my Streak is an older one, I bought it in August, or what the deal is but I was not joking!

All is well though. I have finally gotten it back to Stock AT&T 1.6 with my original baseband of 31. Now I shall see if I can go to the new AT&T Froyo...

Hi

Just to close the loop. I gave up and went back to 2.2 318. Seems like no upside to 340 from the feedback so far.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:
I just went back to Stock AT&T 340 from Streakdroid 2.2 1.8.0

One step that may not be clear. After installing the 3 files and the boot.img reboot into the old OS. When it is finished reboot into recovery and update.

Forgetting to reboot the os skips getting the scripts run to patch the os for identification by the AT&T update.

I just did it again. As much as I like 1.8.0 it was radomly rebooting and I was having sound configurations changing at reboots.

if you are using theme kitchens pngs just make them and extract them from the theme kitchen frameworks with 7zip...then paste them over the existing ones in the theme you want to use (again with 7zip) in the framework-res.apk drawable-hdpi (or hdpi 4 folder depending on the theme) and the pulldown icons are a bit trickier as you will have to rename them if you get them from theme kitchen and move them into twframework-res.apk

I'm not smart enough to make a operating system for a phone(or for anything). That's why I'm glad there are smart people to make the stuff we buy. I just have one complaint about android(many but I'm holding back for now). I've been using android since Nam! and I just can't understand why apps open by themselves. ITS NONSENSE! I was a windows user for a while and that never happened. And instead of an "advanced" task killer I had a task manager. I switched because android is more entertaining, and I have no desire to switch to anything else. I was just wondering why Android Development can't fix this horrid imperfection. And why xda developers can do such amazing things with the OS, but cannot improve this. I have been flashing many roms since my discovery of android and yes i even tried many task killers. Plus mine is set to to high security and Auto kill level to CRAZY, but still sometimes I'll have 12 apps open and only science knows why!

Open your task manager in windows. There is a bunch of stuff running in the background. some you need, some you don't. You can close certain things that are not important, but opening others may cause them to open again. Same kinda situation on Android system.

[EVO 4G General] Scripted:
Hey, so this is my first post here and I'm looking forward to learning more about my phone and it's capabilities here. So far I've read through the forums multiple times and have seen a lot of different suggestions and information.

I've gotten a little confused, so I'm asking for some peoples' opinions on what route I should take to rooting my phone.

Basically, I have an HTC Evo running on android 2.2.

My baseband info is 2.15.00.11.19, and my software is 3.70.xxx.x

At the moment I just want to be able to root my phone so I can force roam and use the free wifi tethering.

I might run a custom rom if I need to, because I've heard that you can upgrade your radios, making 3g faster.

How should I go about rooting my phone and installing these roms if I choose to install them? I've read horror stories about people losing their rsa/wimax keys and being screwed for life. Do nandroid backups back these up as well, or would I need to do something special? The wimax/rsa keys are my main concern about rooting, because I would very much like to use 4G on my phone when I have the option to.

I've been recommended to try out one of the CM7 nightly builds by a friend and I know that it currently doesn't have 4G, at the moment, my area doesn't have 4G and I figure it by the time I get it, CM will have wimax support. If I did upgrade to a CM7 build though, would I be in danger of losing my RSA/wimax keys due to wimax not currently being supported by CM7, or are they kept in tact even though wimax isn't supported.

Thanks in advance for the help,

I'm kind of new here, so every bit helps :)
