Hi guys,
My friends and me tried Black Shahow( black 4.0) today. It really got big memory as previous black version, free ROM 53M and RAM 30.4M, noticed that TOTAL RAM showing near 50M instead of 48M. The HTC home looks quite ok but for the weather panel the cities are limited for selection. THE BIGGEST BUG IS that sometime it CAN'T START PROPERLY and ALWAYS HANG during the re-starting period. You may need to reset it for several time just to start the phone.
Long time expectation but still encountered major bug.
Hope JJ can solve these bugs.
Perhaps this would be better off in the official thread? There was no need to start a new one.
Anyway, just FYI:
the original one was ok but jj added a file to fix HSDPA - this cuased a comflict with the current version of the ROM.
Apparently, if you disabled HSDPA things are better.
That's a workaround until jj releases a fixed ROM a bit later on.
try turn to landscape will be better but still need wait for new one..
most issues has been already resolved on www.4winmobile.com . if you need help, go to jasjamming forum and ask there. it was his request, and he did not answering question on two places. bye.

No. For you maybe, but on my 8525 it's fast as hell and haven't had ANY problems or this "hang" problem either. The ROM is awesome!
I've run the rom also...I'm having no problems either. I experienced a hang during the install but after that I've been smooth and I'm HSDPA.

I tried it but it still doesn't work, previously i installed official wm5.0 rom / qtek 2.11.255.2. It works quite well and stable. Do anyone have idea how to fix the bug?

Seriously, there is a Hermes fans chatting room. In the chatting room, it is complainted as well that they got same experience as me. There is one similarity that we performed complete flash using Qtek 2.11.255.2 before updating to Black Shadow (4.0). I am thinking if there are conflictions between Black Shadow and Qtek latest WM5.0 ROM. However, we don't experience such bugs using Black Diamond which i regarded it as more stable one and faster than Shadow and some other cooked roms. Unfortunately, i can't access 4winmobile.com and can't comment this to JJ.
Should JJ read this may he give us a solution.
Anyhow, thanks for his great works and best regards.
For anyone seeing this thread now - there is an updated rom called shadow.rar already posted on wmblack.info and it fixes the problems from this morning.

Hi, i just downloaded and tried the shadow.rar. After flashed it is still the same, can't start properly. Is it possible because of Radio? Someone with radio 1.38 told me his phone working well. By the way, i installed CE-star.

ey, works great for me with 1.38 right now...so seems your issues aren't related to Radio version.
Try without CE-star (perhaps not compatible), and post results.
I find it thoroughly ammusing! all these posts dissing the rom creator and booing if the f**k up the install or the rom isn't perfect! when will you guys realise that we are in the thick of beta land! everything is a gamble! you don't put your head in the ovan just because someone else did and got away with it!
i'm pretty new to this rom business and only tried a few. I *****ed once but then came to my stark realisation. IT'S ALWAYS A GAMBLE! read the notes that come with the rom!
these guys are clued up enough to work at M$ (or Apple. imagine mobile OSX on a tytn!).
I think you guys need to chill and take it as it comes! that's the deal!
that's my 2 pence worth anyway!
I think some members of this forum just need to get laid.
I just rooted my evo, and I'm loving CM7. I do have some questions, tho. I keep reading about a sense gps fix and updating prl to work properly with CM7. My gps works just fine I've used it. What is a prl update anyway? Do I need to do these thins if my phone is already working properly? Any help would be appreciated.
If your gps works, leave it alone. The PRL is the roaming list so you can connect to a tower; you update it on a sense rom because you can't in AOSP.
What to look for...
I too, just recently rooted my Evo and am running CM7.
Running my speed test app, it's reporting slower speeds than before I rooted. Is that common or do I need to update/change something?
Plus, what should I look for to know when it's time to update the radio/wimax?
Update: Was looking at other threads, came across ManD5 which is supposed to help check md5. Am I on the right track?
Update #2: Found what I needed in another thread. Sorry to bug you all...took longer to find what I needed.

Well glad you found your info, and not bugging, but at least you actually looked, unlike a lot of people here. And that comment wasn't directed at either of you.

Yeah for real, same threads repeated by n00bs. I prefer to search first.
World peace with no regard for human life.
Well, Thanks for taking it easy on me.
Seen some of the other threads around here...it gets brutal sometimes.
I am at my witts end with this stupid phone. I am trying so hard to find an actual download for the android 1.5 cupcake update. I have been looking for two days straight. All I want to do is to get android 1.5 cupcake on this phone and googles link for the update has been gone for a while. I have seen MANY successful attempts at upgrading without root... Its as simple as renaming the file to update, dropping it in the sd card and rebooting with home + power button and hitting alt+L and alt+S and boom thats it...
Does ANYONE have a solution or better yet... a link to a working download of android 1.5 cupcake so that I can upgrade this phone? I am desperate. Thanks so much.
download link for 1.5
ok so here is a guide to unbrick a HTC G1....not exactly what you asked for, but bear with me. ---code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick--- (apparently I can't post links due to me being a new user)
in this guide towards the bottom of the page, there are several link to the different android versions for the G1 and they are all good links...I used this guide myself, so I know it is solid.
take the time and read through this guide so that you will be better able to choose the files you want to download.
let me know if this helps (or if it doesn't)
Thanks
charlie
hey I really do appreciate the link. I will check it out and pray to God that I can get some success. With this phone the ONLY desire that I have is to get the camcorder anyway. I know there are alot of other nice features but if its this ahrd to do and I was able to get just the camcorder I would probably be stoked.
In the event anyone else reads this and has some feedback or a working link to a download of the 1.5 cupcake (even the UK download) I would be thankful. From what I have seen even people that used the UK download were able to get it working WITHOUT root in all of 2 minutes which is fantastic... If only I had a working download for it. Unfortunately google decided to take it down permanently and every time I do a search with google or yahoo, ALL the links for a download are to the google site which doesn't work.
So, if ANYONE has any help with this I would truly appreciate it because I am literally at my witts end. And charltonstanley... Once again, thanks alot and I will chec out the link of yours. I really appreciate the reply.
You're Welcome
You're welcome!
Like I said before, the links are towards the very bottom of that page.
I believe that with these, you can achieve your goal to make this phone a camcorder. But why not go all the way to 1.6 stock? Why stop at 1.5? The last download link on the website link That I posted is 1.6 stock. just use that one.
I do however believe that you MUST start flashing from android 1.0 and move down the list. I believe for one to work you have to have the others---at least that is what my experience was.
My recommendation is that you follow this guide completely EVEN IF your phone isn't bricked. That is what I did with my non-bricked G1 and everything works perfectly! No regrets!
Let me know if you need more help.
There are several more websites that I know of that have more tools that will help you recover your phone to stock, it just depends on your circumstances.
I uploaded this a couple years ago and apparently it still has seeders. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4910197/Official_USA_T-Mobile_Cupcake_Android_1.5_Image_for_G1
I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees the elephant in the room... OP!!! Why u no root!?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
i will definitely try that charlton. I am going to give that a try tomorrow once I get home from work and I will let u know hjow it goes or if I need any help.i really appreciate it. and I will go with 1.6 I just wasnt aware that 1.6 was even released for the g1. is it 1.6 donut?
benmarvin, thanks alot I appreciate the link and if this first solution doesnt work I will go to your link. Out of curiosity (because your post didnt say fr sure) is your link to 1.5 cupcake and if so is it USA or UK version that just gets dropped in sd card and renamed to update and yada yada yada?
flying fox the reason is because I do not have a huge amount of experience with rooting phones. I rooted two of my cellphones before but it always seems like something goes wrong and I feel that I dont FULLY understand or maybe I just dont trust myself to attempt root and bricking the phone when theres the possibility of doing it simply by dropping it in renaming the file restarting and hitting alt + l and alt + s. I just figure that was the easiest route. If someone had skype and was willing to step me through it now thats a different story .
Thanks to everyone and any more feedback is appreciated! dont stop with the answers! hah
I stopped by the other S4 forum (i9500/i9505) and noticed users reporting a new firmware update. Some mentioned faster transitions and camera updates as well as some other things.
Has anyone got a Ota of this? Or would we (T mobile) not get it?
Also wondering... if your rooted, would you even get a notification about it?
Thnx

The firmware of the international version is not the same as firmware released by carriers. Carriers add a lot of stuff to their firmware and they do their own testing on them. It may take months for a carrier to release an update after the international version got it.
Since this is a new phone, I am sure T-Mobile will eventually release an update (most likely several updates). Just be patient.

I found a website that has manual firmware updates for the different variations, but unfortunately I didn't save it. It's out there though, just Google it and I'm sure you'll run across it like I did, sorry couldn't be more assistance, if I find it again I'll post the link.
Edit: Okay I found it quicker than I thought I would, lol. Here's the link, hope it helps:

Thanks for the clarification and info guys.
Definitely patient.. I dont have many issues w my s4 except home key timing, so I was hoping for fix.
Maybe some one can take a look at new firmware and see if there is any info within that could benefit our (tmo) devices?
I would do it but im not as proficient and knowledgable as some of our other members.

I have the i9500 and got the update a few days ago. The description from the update manager was "improved stability" which means they are ironing out the kinks. Another thing that is going to be updated and will surely be on your variant is locked kernels. This is a kernel level that blocks superuser from even executing code. Workarounds will have to be found/kernels compiled.

if you're referring to the home button lag, then just disable s voice like everybody else did, even back in the days of the S3. go into the s voice app and hit the settings button on lower left of your phone, then tap settings, then un-check the 2nd option "open via the home key".
as far as updates, t-mo is usually the 1st or 2nd carrier to get it in the US, but nothing yet. i'm hoping they'd fix the camera shutter lag that i love from the old s3. sigh...
Hi Guys,
First, humble apologies if I have asked this question in the wrong section and if there is already an answer to this - I just couldn't find one after a cursory search.
My Pixel 3 XL recently upgraded itself to Android 10 from Pie.
I have noticed a number of issues with the "upgrade", as have others it would seem.
Anyway I would like to roll back to Android Pie.
Can someone tell me, show me, how I can go about doing this please?
Instructions in easy to follow simpleton English would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Keith
hiya
Probably cant roll back. If you are OEM unlocked you could try Fastboot but with each major upgrade - they change certain BL / Security Versions so you cant roll back.

Hi,
Sorry but I am not sure what you mean, especially this bit: "they change certain BL / Security Versions so you cant roll back"
I have read in the various news reports, and on the Google support page, that those who have had issues with their Pixel 3 XL after the upgrade to 10 fixed their issues be downgrading back to PIE.
So I am guessing it can be done but I haven't got a clue how to do it.
Find a build of pie and flash through ADB

Everything is right there, this will wipe your device. If you aren't comfortable with what is there, you probably should just stay on 10, and wait for fixes to roll out.
OK I am officially as thick as pig manure :laugh:
I am obviously failing to understand how to do this because for the life of me I just cant get it to work.

Think you are better off staying on 10 with your lack of understanding, try a factory reset instead

Greeting from a fellow grey haired android user. Flashing old versions etc used tobe quite easy on these phones but things changed a few years ago to have slots and some othe mallarky which has made messing about with the phone a bit more complicated and very touchy.
I used to muck around a lot but I keep clear and keep it simple these days. Any problems I will do a factory reset and if problems still arise I will reset without restoring data.
Wifi calling was not working on mine after updating but this was down to vodafone rather than google and it's sorted now.
Nice hearing comments like thick as pig manure on here
I ended up re-setting the phone and restoring from a backup.
That was fun
Still had lost of settings to sort out and for some reason it didn't back up my custom sounds so has to re-install all of those.
Alas the phone is still misbehaving a bit so I hope Google push out some fixes for these issues soon.
if you unlock your bootloader you can then easily roll back to P
I sure hope Google release a fix for this soon, using my Pixel 3XL has become a real pain since the update to 10
OK so now apps on my phone have stopped responding to touch.
It is now taking me multiple presses to get them to open.
I am having to re-start my phone multiple times just to get a bit of functionality back.

Nope, I have done a clean restore as well.
Also the apps that are playing up and not responding to touch are Googles built in apps, like the messaging app for instance, so it is not just a third party app issue either.

OK please bear in mind I'm new at this but.....
.... is it possible to downgrade to Pie by "side-loading" OTA using ADP? (I have no idea what any of that means )
I just want to check that is possible before I give it go
Oh and is there anything "special" I should do or pay attention to?
