After a bad experience with the Clockwork custom recovery I really dont mess with nandroids anymore but since Beach_Head has helped everyone out w/out getting a nandroid in return i really feel like helping out...

So you cant make a nandroid backup with the stock recovery right? Last time I used the custom recovery I got stuck in a bootloop and had tmobile replace it.. tho so im a bit scared.

So ive got this 2.2 froyo and I would love to help out... Is there a sure fire way to make this nandroid without getting into a bootloop? I apologize for my noobness.
[Defy General] hah2110:
What is SBF?
[Defy General] runeblade:
There is one posted in the DEV thread now.
[Defy General] ketonkss4:
Well thats good.. But for future reference... Is there a way to make a nandroid backup without risking a boot loop
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
No problem! I understand completely.

And unfortunately, no, it isn't weird. It's messed up...
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
boot loop

The guy who deleted logwrapper.bin and got stuck in boot loop. I did the exact same thing and you were most definately suppose to delete logwrapper and then rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper WE NEED TO GET THIS MESSAGE OUT THERE OR IT WILL HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE misinformation is worse than no information for those who are saying to just delete logwrapper.bin. Any way dude your only hope is to flash the leaked tomobile US froyo(assuming you can find a complete sbf for the leaked rom) I could not find it. There is however a boot only .sbf for the leaked version on these forums, I could also provide for you and maybe you could flash it to see if you can boot. Its worth a shot, what have you got to lose? Well you will lose downgradeabilty probably, not sure how that works when you flash a boot only .sbf. I actually flashed the UK froyo leak sbf which gave me a working UK froyo rom, rooted, installed clockwork recovery, downloaded a nandroid of the leaked US froyo, installed the nandroid, reboot into bootloader holding volume UP while powering, finally I then flashed the US leaked froyo boot only.sbf and voila I'm back in business and everything works perfectly. Now I wait for a nice person here to post a clean nandroid of the new update.
[Defy General] hah2110:
What is SBF
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
There's one already posted in the Development section...

And for the record, everything is hit or miss. That's part of messing around with your phone. It isn't mis-information, it's lack of information that causes problems.

Not everyone on here is on here to help. Most are just on here to get what they want and then leave and then come back when they need something else. So much for being a community heh...
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
SBF is a single binary file. it can be flashed using RSD Lite 4.9
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
ROMs from Motorola have an SBF extension. That's why they're called SBFs...
[Defy General] runeblade:
If people read what I posted...I've made it clear a couple of times now...YOU HAVE TO RENAME LOGWRAPPER.BIN TO LOGWRAPPER, AFTER DELETING THE ORIGINAL.
[Defy General] hah2110:
What is it used for? What does a user need to do with it when it.comes to rooting, flashing, etc?

Thanks
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I understand all of this 100% I just think we should make the message clear about deleting logwrapper. I just think we should emphasize the solution to most peoples problem with installing this update. Aside from placing all removed system .apk's back into system/app everyones problem is going to be the logwrapper issue since we almost all have clockwork installed. Also, do we need to delete hiijack as well? Anyone having problems with this or can we simply uninstall clockwork prior to this update? Thanks for the info on the nandroid btw :-)
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
runeblade is absolutely right. Problem I guess is that people don't read things much. My problem was that it was 4:00 am and when I renamed logwrapper.bin I left in the . and ended up with logwrapper.

Instead of logwrapper. whoops I guess i was tired
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
The only reason why the update fails is because the updater-script file has asserts that check that all the files are stock before updating.

Editing the script before applying the update would eliminate the need to restore stock applications, delete logwrapper, and uninstall CWM altogether...
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
Sorry to blow up the forums LOL I was just wondering if you brilliant people might know this!! I have flashed the leaked US boot only sbf to get the leaked rom nandroid to boot. Will this new update work with the boot only I flashed or will I need a boot only sbf from this update?
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
Nice! maybe we should stress this more then!
[Defy General] runeblade:
When I originally was screwing around with this I disabled asserts and still had issues. Perhaps I did it wrong, but I know I at least attempted it. At this point I'm pretty much phoneless though. My radios are toasted. Well at least my 3G is. Not a freaking clue why. Done factory reset, new sim, its crazy. 2nd defy killed in 6 weeks. LOL. Original Defy from November thats my dev phone....still running strong...guess they just don't make the new ones like they used too. LOL. On to #3 I guess.

Mine is:

[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Great! So it really did work...

I guess BPflex is unique to every phone...
[Defy General] ketonkss4:
Not true... I got the same numbers as you beach. lol But looks like it definitely did work
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Hmmm... I wonder what BPflex is then...
[Defy General] hah2110:
Bump
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
It's an official file containing firmware. You need RSDLite to flash it to your phone.

In terms of rooting, etc. the fille will not be of any use. But for going back to stock, this will come in handy...
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
As promised, here is the edited 34.4.9 update...

I only edited updater-script to remove all the asserts that checked the build properties and system files, etc.

Everything else is the same. If I'm right, this will update your phone even if you're already on the update...

But I uploaded this mainly to relieve users of the problems encountered regarding CWM, stock apps, etc.

Note: You will need to either be on the 3.6.360 update or leaked T-Mo US FroYo to be able to get this working. From checking out the updater-scripts on both updates, I believe the 3.6.360 update is a pre-FroYo update. The 34.4.9 update is what finishes the whole process.

If it doesn't work via Stock Recovery, you will have to update through Custom Recovery. Use the "select a zip" option...

Here is the link: Blur_Version.3.6.360.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US.zip
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
Sweet! But just to be clear, This is the 34.4.9 update? Filename of download link just confused BC of the 3.6.360 filename. Also, in theory this should update even us folks on the leaked US froyo?
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Yes, it's the 34.4.9 update.

It's confusing, I know, but that's the original filename.

And yes, if I'm correct, it should update even those on the leaked FroYo...
[Defy General] darule_2011:
same here, all the info matches exactly on wife's stock phone.

Hey Beach...you mentioned you removed the string that checks version, as you know that my phone is on the UK build...will I be able to install over this wiping everything and using custom recovery or will I still need to get the leaked 2.2 on first?

Glad to see that everyone now can get the tmous 2.2, gotta love it when everyone can get on the same page! I've always thought it was a poor marketing tactic to snub customers by not upgrading their phones because they tweaked it or with another carrier.
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
It may work, but to be on the safe side, I suggest you follow these instructions instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985932

If you need help with the files, let me know and I'll upload them...
[Defy General] darule_2011:
ok, thank you! Finally getting internet tomorrow morning so I'll be able to download the sbf.
[Defy General] hah2110:
So if I want official froyo, do I need it?
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
So has anyone had any success with the edited update?

I'd like to know...
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I will be trying this tonight but I'm just super busy today... I will def. post results when done!! There is no way I am the only one interested in trying your edited update!! Sounds so very easy. Why would anybody NOT try it =-)
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
Just curious, If I apply the update and something goes terribly wrong do you think i would be able to just reflash the leaked US froyo sbf and be back in business? Coming from leaked US froyo?

Please, what are your thoughts on this?

I only ask because I don't quite understand the downgrading side of things. Like, since this is a higher build number and if it successfully flashes but fails to boot for some reason would I be able to "downgrade" back to leaked US froyo
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
I am downloading this edited update now but I will be a couple hours until I can find the time to apply it. Plus I am gonna wait to hear back from you on my previous post before I take the dive
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Yes, flashing the leaked FroYo should get you back in business...

After applying the update, don't forget to do a wipe/factory reset before you reboot from recovery...
[Defy General] runeblade:
We have way too much info scattered across too many threads...even I'm starting to get lost. We need to get a sticky thread going.
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Agreed. How do we go about getting that done?
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
edited update failed

just tried the edited update and it failed with

signature verification failed...... Can I sign it somehow?
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
Nevermind CWM bypasses signature check! trying to boot now... Im a lil nervouse its been on M logo for almost 5 min.
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
well been like half hour and still boot logo :(

Gonna face the facts that it didnt work! Try reflashing leaked sbf. If it works then I will try one of your alt. methods:)
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Did you do a factory reset before rebooting?
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
ya I did, again and again lol.

I got the UK flashed and running but it wont mount the SD it mounts and then immediately says ok to safely remove and unmounts ?? I just wanted it to mount cause thats where I have CWM.apk can it be found on market? I saw ROM manager but not sure if it will install proper CWM for my phone since it doesnt list my phone when I click to install the recovery
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Hmmm... I guess for the leaked FroYo, you really need to restore the Nandroid that luxdesigns posted or update via the alternative method I posted: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985932

Anyway, for the Custom Recovery, you can use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944543&highlight=recovery or this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467632
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
thanks..... But I need my SD card to mount properly either way! because I cant download anything to it....??? Any thoughts
[Defy General] runeblade:
Same issue I had when screwing around. It comes from firmware not matching the rom. Different address mappings. You need to get into clockwork and apply the modified 2.2update.zip to bring firmware inline with rom, as well as doing a system reset. That will restore your SD card usage. Even though the rom has issues with it, clockwork will still be able to use the sdcard correctly.
[Defy General] zyxwvut:
hmmm. makes sense! Maybe I'm just not thinking straight but how can I install clockwork without having access to my sd? I tried browsing to the links beach_head posted on my phone but it says I need an SD to download... I cant think of any way to install clockwork..... :eek:

I wonder if I can flash the edited US update over my UK rom....

About the firmware not being inline with the rom, I flashed the leaked UK froyo SBF.

Wouldn't that flash firmware and rom? Am I mistaken?

UPDATE: I got SD usage back YAY! I just wiped, reflashed UK froyo sbf, wiped, rebooted and still NO SD. So I wiped again and then flashed US bootonly sbf. Weird combination I guess but now I HAVE SD!

Thanks guys for giving love to the "kinda talented" phone hackers like myself! You guys rock!

Now I will install clockwork and try one of beach_head's alt. methods to get on "official" OTA 2.2:D
[Defy General] aidynchik:
Hello everyone! I have a trouble. Yesterday I've updated me Eclair to Froyo with update.zip. Everything was excellent. Then I decided to russify my phone and flashed Defy with Rusupdate.zip from russian forum. Now phone got in boot looping. What Shall I do? I have a backup of my system, done through Defy Recovery. How can I restore it?

I've tried to flash with update.zip again but now I've an error "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/BatteryManager.apk", E: Error in /sdcerd/iupdate.zip"

The android port was based off of the psp port. Its sad, but the emu may never be completed :| I have tried to get zotdd and yongzh to start on it perhaps or maybe drk can release the source code of what he has completed as of now.

named dreamcast emulator emu by mj apps

who created androidemu series

and I never heard about him or her

this app appeared to android market recently

then suddenly disappeard

I'm not sure that there could be someone who downloaded it

anyway I guess it could be fake

but I wanna know if someone has info about it or not

peace! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Leekster:
looks highly suspicious to me, i googled it and it actually reads the same as the dreamcast rom manager currently on the market by "sweet-droid". i wouldnt install it even if it was free.

On a side note has there been any update inregards to the developer releasing an early build or an open source version to test with? I currently have a DHD and am very keen to see how it can handle a bif of skies of arcadia. Ive been frantically googling every connotation of nulldce and there doesnt seem to be an apk file anywhere.

p.s sorry for bumping an older post, i didnt think it was needed to create a new thread when this one was still here.

I just found this after randomly searching google for dreamcast, emulator and android... and all manner of combinations. A few youtube vids of drk|Raziel's effort later and here I am.

I've read few quite a number of opinions that a Dreamcast emulator is unlikely...

It used Windows CE, and a lot of games utilized this along with a lot of Direct X code... and not many people are happy to use it or publish it as its Microsoft code... so even if one did appear theres a likely hood that google would take it down.

Its a shame... I was really looking forward to Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star II and Silver, i mean i owned em once!

[General Questions and Answers] Doug8796:
this is my video and I hope to excite drk|Raziel to put forth more work on this emu.. he could easily get it to full speed but he has reluctantly given up on most of his computer hobbies as of late. I wish I could lie and say its a new build but I wont. It is from Dec 2010 on an OC'd android SGS II with 1.6ghz on Entropies kernel.. with other optimizations, gpu oc and a faster rom (ics) we may see full speed on this phone for Crazy Taxi as well as other games.. To respect drk I will not post the apk (not yet). As he supposedly still may work on it. He supposedly got depressed when no one wanted to give him a dime to continue his work on Wii-nullDC, PS3-nullDC, and PSP/Android-nullDC.
[General Questions and Answers] Trev186:
Well ps3 wii and PSP will always have a smaller user base. And when a new wii ps3 or PSP comes out he has to completely redo his code but android will work for more people and the hardware is improving rapidly.

I am sure if he posted the current beta and asked for a $1.00 or more for it he would make plenty. There was a nds emulator beta that some Guy charged 7 dollars for and never updated and he got 10000 downloads.

Please tell him to post the beta on a market some where and ask for money on it. I know he will get some funds. If he needs help I know yongzh has expressed interest in nulldc.

I would purchase it as soon as released (also the phonejoy :)), obviously it should come along with some explanation about it's alpha or, better, beta state for those who want it all right now.
