Flashed to my rooted stock Defy via recovery update, booted and re-rooted without a problem!
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Can someone post a stock Nandroid please.

It's funny that so many come in and out of here and yet only about 3 or 4 are actually willing to support the community.

A lot of people are going to benefit from that Nandroid...
[Defy Android Development] hah2110:
I'm getting error 7 something about the build.prop trying to flash update.zip?????
[Defy Android Development] hah2110:
Tried the Nandroid and I'm in a Moto boot loop. This is ridiculous. Now I remember why I hate Moto. Nothing is ever easy.
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Have you tried the alternative method I posted?
[Defy Android Development] jakiej:
i might be wrong, but i think you need a proper froyo kernel. i bet flashing one of the froyo boot-only sbf's would make it work.... come on, do you research first. you are a senior member with almost 1.5k posts.....
[Defy Android Development] hah2110:
Fair enough.... Will try
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
I don't know your story, but there are now 3 ways posted on here to get to the official FroYo:

1. The nandroid that luxdesigns posted

2. The alternative method I posted

3. The edited update.zip that I posted

I highly doubt that none of these will work for you...

Could anyone on this T-Mobile 34.4.9 (with root) run the following command:

mkdir /sdcard/dump

cat /dev/block/mmcblk1p12 > /sdcard/dump/mmcblk1p12.img

cat /dev/block/mmcblk1p13 > /sdcard/dump/mmcblk1p13.img

cat /dev/block/mmcblk1p15 > /sdcard/dump/mmcblk1p15.img

Then zip the dump folder in the SD card and share it here (or to me via PM). Thanks in advance.
[Defy Android Development] ksubedi:
Thanks for sharing! works as charm using the nandroid method. So, installing this update also means that we will not be able to revert back to any other sbf's below version 34.4.9 right?
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Yes, that is correct...
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
I have flashed back to 3.6.360 sbf from 34.4.9 several times I have flashed back to 3.6.360 from just about every option out there
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
I flashed a Froyo Official Update, but it says "MILESTONE" on the flex version, So I'¿m guessing it's not the Defy one, this one posteed here is the official one for Defy USA T-Mobile right? Can I flash this over the version I have or do I have to downgrade first? thanks!!!
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
the "official" 34.4.9 update.zip will ONLY install properly over 3.6.360

34.4.9 isn't quite official "yet" its a final version that was distributed to about 1,000 people for testing. So long as major bugs are not found it will probably be the exact same release as OFFICIAL. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47028

I have been using it now after going thru about every custom rom out for the defy I just like it for some reason more! I have found no bugs so far except once when i took a picture it was saved as a solid colored square. But hasn't happened again.

I have never heard of milestone roms running properly on the defy? I have never flashed back (downgraded) from them so do at your own risk. The alternate methods work but for me I just wipe and RSD flash straight back to 3.6.360 and apply the official update, seems like a cleaner install to me. I play around with different roms and try to decide what I like about each one and I have done this process countless times downgrading (as of now) isn't an issue unless you are trying to go below 3.6.360
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
Ok, so basically I could flash a stock ECLAIR ROM into my phone so I can go back, and then install this update right? I already have a stock .sbf to flash, just want to make sure I won't break the phone, thanks!
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
Yes, as long as your stock sbf isn't lower than 3.6.360. But like I said, I have never flashed anything coming FROM a milestone rom. Remember to wipe before flashing sbf
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
I just did it, it worked, so, now that I'm on Eclair Stock ROM, I'm going to flash this one, thanks!
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
GOOD! happy trails.... you should hit that thanks meter for me ;)
[Defy Android Development] saman0suke1:
Heheh fair enough, there you go, I'm running USA Froyo 2.2 Update now, great ;)
[Defy Android Development] h078:
Questions...

Please clarify few inconsistencies for me,

I am on the stock T-mobile USA, rooted and unlocked on AT&T network.

1) is the update reversible - Can I flash back to official 2.1 in order to get 2.2OTA when it comes out?

2) is the upadte Re-rootable?

3) any issues with 3G?

4) how good is battery life?

5) any major issues or bugs so far?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
1. yes if you are using a US defy the official eclair rom is the system version 3.6.360 and can easily be flashed back to using RSD. You need to flash a full 3.6.360 sbf, a simple nandroid restore back won't do! BTW 34.4.9 probably will be the exact same version as the official they will roll out soon! Probably by months end. So flashing back to apply the official update when it's released will probably be pointless as it will most likely be this version anyway.

2. Yes

3. seems better IMHO

4. Battery life is as good or better

5. Once, I took a picture with the camera and it saved the picture as a solid colored square......IDK? Only happened once and never seen since!
[Defy Android Development] h078:

[Defy Android Development] TorAll:
Thanks a lot, zyxwvut!

Is it an original update.zip? I've tried apply it, but "signature verification failed" message was appeared.
[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
OK Thing is you need to use CWM to apply sorry! This Update.zip was modified to remove the asserts that check your current system version. We were using it for some testing to see if it could be applied over the leaked US Froyo(3.4.2.107-4)

It turns out that you MUST be on 3.6.360 or this update won't work. I thought this file was the original :o my bad! I assure you it is identical to the original but has all the verification asserts in the updater_script removed! I can try to hunt down the original if you'd like.
[Defy Android Development] Sainyam:
hey man can you please re upload it and if possible the original one also.

Actually usb of my phone is dead.gotta take it to service centre.

[Defy Android Development] zyxwvut:
If no one re shares the modified update.zip by the time I get back to my desktop then I will re upload it when I get home. You MUST be on official system 3.6.360 Eclair or it won't work properly.
[Defy Android Development] Ptikjp:
Oh... unfortunately I botched my first multiboot attempt and flashed CM7 ontop of my stock tmobile build. I no longer have the first Eclair tmobile stock. And Im skeptical flashing via RSD lite will enable me to go back to Eclair since i took the FROYO update a while ago.

I might be in business with a nandroid backup, but it would appear this won't help me. :( Thanks anyways.

Going back to stock U.S. Eclair (3.6.360) via sbf is not an issue, it is CGver=4. So as long as you've never flashed a full 2.3.4 sbf or higher you're fine

hi everyone, im buying a tmobile galaxy tab, the euro model, i want the phone and 3g to work..

i have a g2 right now and plan on using my tmobile sim[has data/voice]

will i be able to use the tab as a phone and have 3g with my sim? sorry if theres a thread on this but ive google searched and xda searched and cant find my answer.. thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] deniro0311:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896932

I followed the above link to get my G1 T-Mobile SIM working on my tab.

As far as buying a euro-based tab to get 3g and phone usage, I don't think that will work. I will assume you are in the States. And from what I understand, it has to do with the technology in the infrastructure used in the States.

Buying a euro-based tab will do the same as buying a us-based tab and flashing a euro-based rom (if you are in the States). Your phone will only work over 2g. It really isn't a big deal, just grab Roto's modem switcher.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Euro tmob <> US tmob. U wont get us tmob 3g
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
thank you. is this something that can be a possibility in the future[voice,3g,euro tab]?? i will install the modem switcher when im done putting this new rom on.. edge is pretty horrible but the phone calling is cool..

also if i have the modem switched to 3g on, will people be able to still call me ??
[Galaxy Tab General] deniro0311:
Anything is possible with open-source. Besides, look at how much has been accomplished in the short amount of time since the tabs release. I am just happy with the nice roms developed so far and the fact we can talk. Give it some time.

When you are on 3g, the phone functionality is basically dead. With that being said, Roto's modemswitcher is a nice little script.
[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
Euro Tab can not be used with Tmobile 3G network....even with 3G only....it will only does 2G+Voice

I have one, and I am regret having it......no way to turn on the band frequencies of 1700 and 2100 together....for a moment I thought I was successfully did 1700 and 2100.....but no, I did not......when I went into detail of the modem, it said (900 mhz band) not 1700...

You can never get 1700 on any Samsung Tab beside the Tmobile one. I think I am switching to ATT real soon
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:

[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
After Everything I have tried. I believe that your Tab is a Tmobile Tab.....If it is, It will say Tmobile in the front and the back of the Tab....also the model is

SGH T849

The European one is the Model of GT-P1000....and there is no Mark of Tmobile or any Carriers in it....You must have been mistaken.....Even Rotohammer Confirmed that the European Is not Capable of Tmobile 3G....or Please send me your pictures ?

in about device it says gt p1000 and only says tmobile on the back of the device. I have the box too ill check it
[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
Your device saying GT-P1000 is because u installed the Rom of GT-P1000 to enable 2G+voice. Tmobile on the back is the evidence of the Tab being from Tmobile

Samsung made it Exclusively for Tmobile with a special Tmobile Radio Amplifier.......The international version is what I have now......it Can not be on Tmobile 3G network

dang iono why the guy would tell me this is a euro tab and even have the euro wall charger with it then.. i dont really understand whyd he do that lol

there's also a lot of partition tutorials all over that thread, xda & the web, I could link them for you, but that would deprive you of all the joy you will get when you actually find such info for yourself.

Good luck

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] trinfinate:
Yeah I found partition videos and tutorials...a lot ...but they were all for partitioning memory cards not nand memory ..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1chris89:
Exactly. I'm running HyperDroidGBX and it says my internal storage is only 729MB, out of 1024MB. So just roughly 256MB Of the nand is being used for the system/data/cache partitions. What I want to do is resize all my nand partitions to allow for a data partition of atleast 900MB of internal storage and still have sufficiently sized system/cache partitions as necessary. What are the sizes of the partitions by standard? How do we use Android SDK and AVD "Andriod Virtural Device" on a Windows desktop to adjust the partition sizes?

THANKS!

BTW - It's called the mtd partitions. So look up how to resize mtd partitions android sdk avd.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Look in the folder where your cwm instal files are.one is called flash.cfg. open that in notepad, each line is one of the partitions. Adjust size and flash.

(Allsize means all the leftover space)

If you aren't using a clockwork rom, then the same applies.... in the daf rom folder is flash.cfg

If it is a daf rom, if you merge the partition info from your flash.cfg with the info in a cwm flash.cfg, and copy in the recovery.img you can flash your daf rom with your partition layout and apply cwm recovery at the same time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1chris89:
Wow! Your great man! Ok I'm using HyperdroidGBX v11 and CWM 1.13. Do i need to edit the hyperdroidgbx flash.cfg and the CWM flash.cfg? What do you mean by copy in the recovery.img. So what should I do? Should i just adjust partition sizes in the cwm flash.cfg and then just flash hyperdroid or even better i could perform a nandroid backup and just restore right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Ok so its a cwm rom so only the cwm flash.cfg exists.

However you should find the data part is already set to allsize meaning it takes up all the space after the small fixed size parts are done.

Do you have an ext partition on your SD card? If so, the rom is automatically putting apps there instead of on the phone.

(At least that's my understanding of app2sd+ enabled roms, certainly I never manually move apps to the SD card, yet there they are on my SD in the ext part. If you manually choose to move apps to SD in app manager, it takes them from the ext part and puts them on the fat32 partition.)

Get rid of your ext part and re try before you bother editing flash.cfg

If someone who knows yes or no could confirm my understanding of apps2sd+, that would be great.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1chris89:
Ok so i downloaded the recovery_150M is what i had on it. Edited the partition sizes. Now after flashing MAGLDR 1.13 edited flash.cfg, I'm stuck at the boot screen where the android is and it doesn't do anything. Do i need to edit a flash.cfg within a CWM folder? I tried several different sizes. IDK why it won't boot.... No ext3 and no i don't want apps installed to sd automatically, i have 1 fat32 partition on class 10 32gb stick. I want all apps to be installed to nand and i don't want my sd to be used at all unless i specify to move the data to sd card. Do i need to flash in HARDSPL? or on FLASHER in MAGLDR?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
There was no need to do magldr again, only cwm, having looked in flash.cfg in the cwm folder.

Going back to your post 1 "how do I partition",,, that's what cwm is doing, creating partitions as per instructions in flash.cfg. you can't run nand android without partitioning first, therefore the answer to your original question is "it already is partitioned"

What you need (and please read the thread to clarify because I have never personally done this myself but will be doing it soon for a friend of mine) is to have an existing account with Metro so that you can add the info from that account to the Evo and therefore activating on Metro. Unless you know someone that works there and knows what they are doing with this, I don't think you should bother taking it over to them.

Here's the problem. Evo is stock & unrooted. People at Metro (right now) are saying that they can't get their computers to read my evo so they are re-downloading drivers, etc. It failed first attempt (today) to metroflash.

I was successful at another corp. store and may need to try where it succeeded.
