[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tan-ce:
Ok, if I understand you right, you currently have a phone with stock ROM, and you want to take a backup of that phone, correct?

If that's the case, I think you'll still need to root the phone in order to install Clockwork recovery. Once you have Clockwork, then you can take a nandroid backup of your phone. So I don't think you can grab a backup of stock ROM before it was rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
Yeah so this a problem. During rooting it is necessary to downgrade your soft to 1.34 what automatically force you to loose your stock Rom. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tan-ce:
Oh right, now I remember. I think if you can't find the exact RUU, you're out of luck. What do you want that backup for anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
No no I wanted only to have a possibility to back to the stock Rom if my phone will have to be sent to service on warranty.

I know one guy from Poland who also bought a phone from the same telcom operator - era.

He gave me info that the stock Rom on his phone is:

12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

While on the forum can be find the same but with one difference in radio code - only f instead fU

12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2 and can be found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879384

But what does it mean this difference mentioned above and if it is negligible or not?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tan-ce:
Well, unless you've flashed a custom radio, another option could be to extract everything from that RUU you found in the forum and flashing everything except the radio.

Although if you want to send your phone for warranty you'll probably have to do a bit more work to get s-on again...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
I've flashed two ROMs first one was CM7-R2 and then I've decided to use Virtuous 1.0.1. I don't know if during that process also radio was flashed :/ Was it? I am new Android so I don't know some things yet.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tan-ce:
I'm quite sure that flashing those ROMs do not change your radio. So if you need to send for warranty, I think you'll just need to flash the ROM part of the RUU (should be able to find a post somewhere which tells you how to extract just certain parts of the RUU) and then reflash partition 7 to get S-OFF. If you used gfree, it would have made a backup of that partition before it gave you S-OFF. Hopefully you still have it.

Actually, have you taken a look at this?
[Droid Incredible General] stfugtfo85:
I have an amoled incredible that I picked up a few weeks ago, and I love the screen, but it's so hard to see in daylight. I understand that "super" lcd screens have a layer of glass removed, which would mean that the screen is closer to the top, which should make it easier to see in sun light. Is this true?

Anyone have pics of both screens? I got my incredible for an excellent price, so if the SLCD is better I can easily sell the incredible on ebay and purchase an SLCD one.
[Droid Incredible General] JermsMalibu:
Hmmm...I haven't heard that the S-LCD screens had a layer of glass removed. I knew the Super AMOLED ones did, but I hadn't heard about that for the LCD version. I guess someone with more knowledge will have to respond. That'd be interesting though.
[Droid Incredible General] stfugtfo85:
I thought that's what the "super" in amoled or lcd meant...layer of glass removed.
[Droid Incredible General] bongholio:
which one is better?
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
I have seen both and it really isn't that big of a difference. It only makes it about 10% better, still very hard to see in sunlight.
[Droid Incredible General] kdb424:
I have the AMOLED version (bought December 2010) and I have no issues what so ever seeing my screen no matter what lighting. Could be me or how I set my screen brightness, but I'm not using any screen protectors or anything. Just my $.02
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Yeah I've read plenty of small text perfectly fine and never noticed any blurriness. I have an AMOLED, and same goes for images and video's, as long as they're actually high quality then they're crystal clear- so can't complain.

The differences must be really subtle. My bootscreen is completely black, and in the dark it really is black and not an off-grayish black that I see on most other screens on phones that I've had.

The differences are so small, they are really close in comparison.
[Droid Incredible General] KrisPeezy:
I have a lot of trouble with glare when out in the sunlight with my AMOLED, I usually just keep brightness at 40% and block the light with my hand. Otherwise, i dont really check my phone when in the sun because it's too much of a hassle
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
I had an AMOLED Nexus One and now have an SLCD Incredible. I often had trouble seeing the Nexus in the sun but can't recall that happening with the Incredible. I'd say there's a definite difference.
[Droid Incredible General] JWorth:
the difference is huge. no offense, but your opinion isn't worth much if you haven't had both screens.

i had the amoled screen from may 2010 to february 2011 and then got an slcd replacement device and instantly saw the difference. when i first look at the phone i saw a 'crispness' that wasn't there before. it took me about 15 minutes to realize it was because the phone was slcd not amoled. To be honest, I'm really glad i was sent an SLCD because i love it now. The screen is SOO clear. I typically use my phone for internet and social networks rather than for watching movies so an SLCD benefits me in those ways.

depending on how u use your phone will most likely decide if you like an amoled vs an slcd
[Droid Incredible General] superchilpil:
Its all a matter of opinion, I've seen the slcd versions and hate that they are so dull and listless
[Droid Incredible General] JWorth:
yeah its definitely opinion lol (i dont mean to say anyone's wrong hah, just saying that everyone sees things differently), because i look at my screen and go 'wow thats clear!' i dont really see a hugee difference with the colors besides the blacks
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
Colors can be a matter of preference, but I don't think there's any debating sunlight brightness. Some may not be bothered much by AMOLED's washout in direct sunlight (perhaps you live in the Pacific NW or you never go outside), but that doesn't change the fact that SLCD is actually brighter in those conditions.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Another variable I don't see mentioned enough in these AMOLED vs SLCD discussions is that of compatibility. For the average person on the street, it's a non-issue, but for those of us who love to tweak our phones, the AMOLED is an easier version of the Inc to own. Most mods are compatible between both, but there have been recovery versions, kernels, and other things that have only worked on AMOLED Incs.

Is it a deal-breaker? Probably not. Someone usually comes along with an SLCD fix for these mods later... but I'm just throwing it out there as something to consider. If you flash a lot of stuff, AMOLED just makes life easier.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
This was mentioned in the last thread like this. I and several others said we have never run into something that wouldn't work on SLCD. I've flashed nearly every ROM and most kernels here. The only time I had to do something different was flash a SLCD-compatible recovery, which took about 2 minutes to figure out and I haven't touched it since.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Sure - it only took you 2 minutes to figure out because someone had already figured it out. The early adopters were pretty distressed when they only got a black screen though.

Like I said - not a deal-breaker, and if you're patient then someone will come up with a SLCD-compatible version of the item in question. But it comes and goes. There were certain versions of 2.x recovery that didn't work on SLCD... then the community figured it out and everything was copacetic. Then there were certain versions of 3.x that had problems on SLCD... so it's not as if these issues just go away forever once someone figures them out.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
I'm just saying the only thing that required a special flash was the recovery. All roms and kernels have been fine.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
No kernel issues related to SLCD?

Like I said, these problems are usually found and sorted out fairly quickly. The fact remains that there are intermittent compatibility issues that require devs to tweak their work to support SLCD.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
Ok so if you're bleeding edge then sure, AMOLED will reduce issues. I just don't think anyone should feel an SLCD is going to hold them back from the development scene. As an Android junkie going back to the G1 days, my SLCD Incredible hasn't held me back one bit.
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
I love my AMOLED. I play lots of old school emulated games on my phone when I'm on the go and they look absolutely gorgeous with the wide spectrum of colors. Plus, AMOLED screens are akin to tube televisions with an interlacing effect, which while it does make text harder to read it also helps mask the low res imperfections of these older games.

Samsung seems to have fixed the issue though. We'll be seeing the best of both worlds soon.

[Droid Incredible General] unreal2k:
Not sure what the debate is here ...

I had both screens, both tested with the same variables and situations, and in all honestly to me it does not make a difference. Like artists you really need to have an "eye" to realize the small differences in colors, saturation etc. I never had the 2 phones side by side to compare but getting an SLCD screen never changed anything for me. Again, this is how my eyes take the information which could be different than other people.

And yes, there was the fear of roms/kernels support for SLCD, and sure enough it caused some stir and uncertainty. But in the end, it really wasn't that bad, thanks to all the smart people that developed and tested, we finally got our geek on :D

...and back to work.:(

Cheers.

i have an amoled and have a hard time seeing dark colors in the daylight.
[Droid Incredible General] mikeymop:
My AMOLED incredible I can see fine outside. It just bumps the brightness in a few seconds and I see fine.

My friends SLCD I definitely prefer though! It's so sharp, and the black levels are comparable, though I've only seen his in school during the day, the AMOLED inside is definitely a beautiful sight. You'll be happy with either as they're both much nicer then LCD.
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
I have an AMOLED, my GF has an AMOLED with a different color temperature, and her daughter has an SLCD. I'm a graphic designer so I see them all as completely different.

I like the AMOLED screen better personally... the contrast and non-existent blacks have me sold.
[Droid Incredible General] KB3MMX:
Me too, I like the far better contrast ratio of a OLED anything compared to LCD variants.

I'm quite anxious about the new Samsung 4G to be released at Verizon this summer with the 3rd generation screen at a massive 4.5":eek:
[Droid Incredible General] azgoofball:
Mine is an SLCD and it works for me. My buddy has the AMOLED and I can't tell the difference other than mine is a tad brighter..

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
Well it seems as a new member I can't post in the Dev section yet, so I guess I will post it here:

I have been having issues much like others with this rom locking the phone completely up. Most of the time, when I wake the phone the screen is upside down and has graphic artifacts on the screen. This of course causes me to have to pull the battery. Once the phone comes back up, I can literally hit the power button on/off about 10-12 times and it happens again. I have reinstalled the rom and followed the instructions for flashing the ROM 31 times (i keep a journal of it). I am still having the same issue. I have tried Faux's LV and the SV version of his kernal and have even gone back 3 previous version (tried both versions so, 8 kernals in all) and still have the same issue. Now a buddy of mine suggested turning the "screen animations" off, and since I have done that I haven't had the phone lock up on me anymore, however the lockscreen does occasionally flip 180 degrees, but simply hitting the power button off then on and it is ok.

That seems to be my only issue with the rom. I really wanted to post in the dev section, but I guess I have to get my post count up before I can help contribute to the thread.

Thanks again TeamRoyal for another AMAZING release, and I also appreciate you folks assisting us with our minor issues. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for your folks assistance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazzaras:
That's strange did you do a full wipe and format sd card along with boot and system and followed there instructions about not touching it on first boot and all. I did that and had no issues. I'm running RC2 because I just like it more and have no issues so thats something else you can look into
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydizzle:
I've had the exact same issue when using RC2 with faux's kernel. I've tried the LV and SV versions and still had the same problem.

Finally I gave up and just reinstalled RC2 without faux's kernel and I have not had any issues.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
Yea I have wiped and formated everything. The install I am now on I actually waited a full 30 mins instead of recommended 5 min.Nothing against teamroyal as I have mad respect for what they do, but RoyalGinger has made me a pro at installing it :)

So far no kernal crashes, which has given me a perma-grin. I'm gonna flash back to the latest LV version of faux kernel (the one that came with it). I'm sure it will be fine as I think the whole problem has to do with the screen off animation. I'll report back with my results.

Update:

It is the screen off animation that is causing my issue. I have flashed the latest kernel and everytime I have the off animation on, it locks. On screen animation works when on by itself, but turn the off animation on, power on and off a couple of times, and it will crash. I'll try to grab the logs and submit them.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
Well seems everytime usb debugging is on it simply won't crash, and I can't get emulator to record when the phone crashes. Sorry I can't get a logcat :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhjmonnee:
Same here on my wife's phone. Had to restore a 2.3.2 nandroid because both (CM7 rc2 and RG 1.3) were freezing on wake. Dunno what the cause is because on my mytouch RG 1.3 runs fine since it dropped...... :confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will03r6:
If u read thru the post for Royalginger 1.3 it says that the best kernel for the rom is the kernel that it comes with... it also says u will get best/smoothest response with it set at smartass... I'm not sure if its changed since I've read but give it a try...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
So the good news is I was able to get a logcat. I didn't realize that when the phone completely freezes (power on/off does nothing) you can still dump the logcat, hooooray for me. So here is my logcat file, and for the record this ONLY happens when I have the off and on screen animations enabled in the "CyanogenMod settings", with them off I can power on and off without the phone crashing.

[ROM] - RoyalGinger 1.3

[Kernel] - version 2.1.0 Low Voltage

[CPU Frequency] 245~1113

[Governor] Smartass

[Theme] - Honeybread (CM7 honeycomb theme)

[Live Wallpaper] - None
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
Update:

I did what was instructed in the dev section for flashing the latest Faux Kernel (2.1.2.1). I wiped the cache and delvikcache. I then fixed permissions and installed the kernel. Once the phone got to the lock screen, I waited 15 minutes for the kernel to "settle", immediately rebooted and let it sit for another 15 minutes.

Once that was I done, I enabled both the on and off screen animations, and after power on and off about 20 times, it crashed the phone again. So I am still having the same issue. Also as a heads up, I tried different themes just incase it was the theme, but that made no difference. So I reverted back to screen on/off animations as all off, and still no lockups. I have attached another logcat file, just incase there is some new data in it.

On another note, there simply isn't any last_kmsg file, so I'm sorry I can get you folks the file. It isn't on the phone when it crashes or even when the phone works correctly.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
Nope I haven't touched Spare Parts. I'm really trying to get this issue resolved before I setup anything on the phone. Maybe the 1.3.1 release will resolve the issue, but time will tell.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckisgen:
gitm - 1.3.1 should be out by tonight, barring anything weird coming up last minute in testing

and this has the new 2.1.2.1 faux kernel built in but if you want to try in the mean time - go to his thread and flash that kernel (wipe both caches and fix permissions, then flash kernel, then settle for 5 mins on initial boot, reboot, settle another 5 min, then go)

can't remember, are you using stock launcher or a 3rd party?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitm:
Using launcher pro.

As for the new kernel, it is still causing the same issue. In my logcats, it says "cpu pegged", and that is pretty odd. Hopefully 1.3.1 will fix it, but I will keep testing and keep you posted
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos_will:
Hello all,

I am an android user from United Kingdom, I have read through threads/forums about the kies registry patcher.

I tried to follow steps to update from 2.1 Eclair, but I cannot successfully patch the registry and fool samsung kies so I can install 2.2 Froyo!

The reason I want to use this patcher is so I can officially and legally update my Eclair to Froyo ! (I was previously on 2.2.1 Netherlends) I was using this Netherlends firmware for a few months, but I decided I wanted to revert to stock 2.1, as I thought it would be easy to just update my firmware officially through samsung kies once I had 2.1, but i cannot do that.

So I've been thinking about it, by upgrading to 2.2 Netherlends (XEN product code) have I made it impossible to upgrade my firmware to a United Kingdom one? Because it does state on Samsung kies that my Current firmware version is:

PDA:JF7 / PHONE:JF5 / CSC:SWC (XEN)

I am confused on what to do next...really, I just ultimately want a non-voided galaxy s and have legit 2.,2 so I can update to 2.3 Gingerbread, as it has a better file system just like rooted phones have.

I have been researching for so long, and I am fairly new to flashing, but I am not totally ignorant with it. I would appreciate it so much if you experienced guys helped me =].

Kindest Regards,

Carl.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Am warning you, cuz always this can go wrong .( The spoofing and checking if you can is safe, applying the new firmware can always go wrong, backup your efs folder before!!!)

have you tried the latest registry patcher (1.8) + latest kies (2.0) and spoof your UK CSC? (like XEU? or what you have)

It should offer your JPY 2.2.1 . And you could install it.

After you install the 2.2.1 you probably will have to change your CSC into XEU(assuming thats what you had?, or you are t-mobile UK user?) again with that code + imei :D (not sure it wont be KOR after this)
