Develop Bugs

Had anyone decoded the region coding in ROM versions?

As it was noted in some of the threads here the last two digits in the ROM version apparently the region code.
So let say even if it is an Asian ROM but one is x.xx.831.1 and another is x.xx.707.1 they are not for the same region(?) and one will not flush over the other without Hard-SPL.
I'm trying to figure out the version coding. It looks, for example, that x.xx.831.1 is for Hong Kong.

These are the codes I know... maybe there are some more...
click me

[Q] extracting firmware from S8500

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to extract the firmware from my S8500T handset? I'm wanting to do this as there is no copy of this firmware available and I want it as a back-up in case things go wrong with flashing to other firmwares.
my S8500T runs S8500MBJF2, S8500HUTJF2
any ideas?
thanks!

What country / provider is your phone?

@ beigebullet
Please post Product Code you see this via sTune. Something like this : GT-S8500BAADBT
So I could try something...
About your Question.
Not impossible, but only JTAG known to dump Firmware.
Best Regards

Ah do you mean 'Product Name'? In sTune all I get is xxxxxxxxxxxx.
I've manually changed my CSC from HUT (ie. Three Hutchison australia) to KOR but I can change that back if needed...
I've uploaded a pic of what it shows me

Ah do you mean 'Product Name'?

Yes, correct.
xxxxxxxx I saw several times.
This means NV item 2757 (HEX Value) is empty.
Kies without valid Product Code do nothing.
Best Regards
P.S:
S8500T
Attention!
I'm not sure. But for instance S8500R seems to have problems with normal Firmware... maybe incompatibility.

Hmm, so can I somehow get a valid Product Code from Samsung?
And yes, the S8500T is not compatible with normal firmware, as the T version runs on 850/2100Mhz bands, not the 900/2100 on standard firmware. This is the reason I want to extract the firmware from my phone, as I'd like it for a backup.

But it works OK, and you can install LOW rsrc2 so you don't need to change the debuglevel. It seems to be faster, there are preinstalled widgets and they works. Twitter and Facebook in Social hub works but the apps are missing. Pretty much everythig works.

Alright I installed it and have to say I like it, no crashes yet and overall it`s faster than KH3. If you move the camera it seems to be faster too. Widgets are also working. There are 4 widgets in total: Calendar, Analog clock, Date and time widget and weather widget)

How come, samfirmware were allowed to release another Beta-ROM? I thought they were scared to do that since Samsung put pressure on them. Or is it a final ROM? Why would Vodafone even bother bringing out some Beta-ROM?

Code:
Type : Unofficial Version
Number : 262
Builder : Dell02
Host : SCMDELL16
Date : [B]2011/09/16[/B]
Time : 19:35:07
Size : 42468732 bytes
CheckSum : 0xef3c5853
This Version is around 1 month old...
Maybe Samsung internal Versions much closer to Final...
S8600 stuff are from October...

They just said they are watched by Sammy and that they'll step back, nothing about beeing actually under pressure.
Either way: the new ROM is blaaazzzzing fast.
Restore functionality from KIES now works for me for everything except apps. (though several restores in a row may crash the phone).
I love Sammy and Bada

When Samsung will change the 5.1 mode in bada 2.0 ?? The sound is crap with the mode enabled. (crackling, crap sound for some mp3...)

Sorry for off topic , but i couldnt find thats y asking
1 after flashing this ..can i get back to stock Indian firmware . If yes , please give link to me
2 can i use this for both ..means wave s8500 and wave II

1. yes first flash to this indian firmware http://www.multiupload.com/PUHB6CFHWO.. then update to latest via kies..
2.no only wave 1

wave 3 themes for wave 1 and 2

Is it possible to port wave 3 inbuilt themes monkey and other flash themes to wave 1 & 2.

If these themes are from Samsung Apps - no. Because of encryption based on IMEI number.
If the theme isn't encrypted ([theme_name].smt, encrypted themes have added ".dcf") and you can find that file via sTune in AppEx -> Sys/User and extract it, then the theme should work on Wave and Wave II.

Vishal for using the bada 2.0 themes or flash themes you need to be on any of the beta versions. Then you can have any flash theme or bada 2.0 theme on your wave 1 or wave 2. Below is the tutorial how can you do that....

hello
Dear Tapan, Thanks for your prompt revert.
I am very much enjoying the bada 2.0 themes on my beta firmware.
I opened this thread to request if someone could extract the inbuilt themes of wave 8600. Flash monkey theme (shown in youtube).

...extract the inbuilt themes of wave 8600...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They are NOT inbuild... preinstalled or whats ever...
You can download them from store...
DIFFERENT protection... NOT same like apps... better protected.
Tough protection... but funny at all.
I know only 2 Themes in store...
Gorilla and Infinity... since months...
Infinity Trial should also be available for S8500/S8530 if not again removed...
Seems much harder to use Action Script (Flash) to design such themes...
Best Regards

I fail to understand why samsung is making things tough for bada users.
The only thing which i was able to get from samsung were themes as they are not able to provide basic apps which any other phone has.
Now, they have started blocking the themes also. we are at mercy of samsung until we sell our phones.

ı dont thınk so

Can any one provide me the link to Gorilla theme (Wave 3) for my wave 1.
Is it available in wave 3 store?

Is it available in wave 3 store?

Gorilla is in S8600 AND S7250 Store.
BOTH I can install on S8500.
Both are Fullscreen.
But I have no idea how to solve this AES128 thingie... aka .dcf Encryption...
For themes.
Apps is no problem.
You can enter S8600 store with S8500 easier then with S8530 yet. Solution is here:

when you click on the gorilla theme... it says product not available in this store

Yes, this is correct.
But I have not written you should try to enter this store.
Replace apps_compressed.bin...
I was only wondering, because someone upload somewhere paperman, rainblabla...
I had not realized, that they are from store...
Link forgotten, to lazy to search...
But I have never seen Gorilla.smt
Now the question is.
Why?
Why Paperman.smt leaked?
Again, all ways I have tried ended with Gorilla.smt.DCF
DCF is AES encryption...
It is useless to copy, as my IMEI is involved and you can't decrypt...
Only way is to fake your handset as S8600 or S7250 and install via Kies or store on handset...
If you find other way. Tell me.
Best Regards

Paperman theme was provided as an example in bada_Platform_Extension_1.0.0_426
It wasn't leaked from the store at all

You're welcome
Paperman theme is available in Samsung Apps: http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00002340984
But version in the store has new icons. The version which I've exported in STD has the default ones. In bada Flash Extension library only flash samples from Paperman were provided. Without icons.

adfree, not only for flash themes, for all. I think Samsung made higher security for themes in bada 2.0 because in 1.x themes had no protection

DCF aka AES encryption is "joke" for apps and old themes...
Only new Flash themes are protected REALLY with AES128... on Samsung Server.
Btw...
I saw this today... over 12 MB Theme...

Maybe soon we need more space for Flash themes.
Best Regards

Update: Those who are facing issues with installation of flash themes using this method.
After deletion of the pre installed themes using stune or any other way except default theme. i am able to install the gorilla theme but as soon as the installation occurs in the phone, in kies, it shows error "faulty installation"
Now, installation part needs to be taken care. I hope it will be soon.

Thank you for the link, I've downloaded it.
T-Mobile service, at least the people I've spoken to here in the USA don't seem to know much about the Samsung Watch... At all.
I'll wait a bit longer for answers to questions I've sent them. If they still can't help, I'll flash it myself.
Thanks again for all your help ????

I thought I'd give T-Mobile support one more try... 3rd time lucky ? I reached some one who knows their stuff.
They pushed the update to my R805U a few minutes ago.
The update worked smoothly, busy applying the new Bixby update... Then I'll take a look around and checkout the new stuff.
However, I have no idea why the Wearable App would not get the update initially.
Thanks for the help. ??
