Develop Bugs

Need advice

i recently got a htc desire/bravo here in usa, and I'm wondering is there is a way to do flash to stock using Odin the same way i do with my Samsung vibrant.
Also want to know what is the latest official Rom release for this phone and what is the most stable Unofficial Rom?
Thanks in advance.

I think Odin is for Samsung only (I use that for Galaxy Tab) but for Htc Desire, we run RUU (an .exe file) to flash to stock.
Not so sure the latest official Rom for as I'm always on custom Rom. There are plenty of them in Development section.

Yes odin is made for samsung mainly but works on some other phones, not sure which though.
The newest stock ROM is about 2.3.3 dependng on your carrier because obviously some are a bit late ( my carrier only gives me froyo ). The most stable rom ive used is cm7.1 never really get force closes and its still reasonably fast with me getting 1700 in quadrant a few months ago.

Most of the latest gingerbread builds are pretty stable. I used miui-au which was very stable. Also now that ICS roms for the desire have been developing for a while, these to are becoming pretty stable.

If you want a stable gingerbread rom then the one from the HTC devs website works fine, but with all of the hype with ICS on the Desire i've found that Sandvold's rom has been great with constant updates and hopefully a fully stable release on the horizon.

New to Wildfire S

I don't have this phone. My friend owns one. He's asking me to update his device to Android 4.0 unofficially.
I have some questions :-
1) Which is the best method to root this via stock?
2) Which is the most stable ICS ROM? Any major/minor bugs?
3) Please link me to a thread that gives instructions on how to install recovery and other procedure for installing ROMs on this device.
4) Is there any way to return back to stock if I accidentally soft brick it or make some mistake?
PS : I have quite of experience in rooting, flashing ROMs and other stuff.
Thanks in advance

ics/cm9 rom (best i found)

hope this helps

i tried the unofficial /cm9 mod for wildfire s released on 26th of june, the rom is butter smooth with everything normal except the camera(it doesnt work), but the previous versions seem to have a working camera. although i will wait for a fix.

Sweet, thanks

Help to cwm, install custom ics and root, for the 1st time!

I have the R800i and I've been using stock GB since day 1. On other devices, galaxy phone to mention, i use paranoid since i discovered it, the best to me.
I gave up looking for custom ICS roms around March as camera and other things were never working. I would have never thought to see paranoid on the play some day!
So I'm happy. But wondering... First thread didn't mention things not working, does it means EVERYTHING works well? Also, is the ram available bigger than stock gb? Cause this is a pain actually, barely no multitasking...
Last but not least: i didn't unlock bootloader but i installed cwm and hard at that time later we could install custom roms without unlocking bootloader... Is that the case now finally? Would make the process less long and risky... On galaxy is soo easy to flash customs!
Add: Is there a good touch recovery like siyah on galaxy s2? Again like siyah is there a kernel for the play that support dual boot? I'm probably just dreaming...

if u want touch recovery, u can use Doom's kernel, CWM with touch support is included although touch in cwm is pretty much gimmick, IMHO
but it means u have to unlocked your bootloader, which i think shouldn't be a problem for GSM user
as for ICS, there's several good ICS Rom, but i think ICS from Markphyton is the best for now, especially if u want everything working

It is true that you can install some roms without unlocking your bootloader, but not the ones that require another kernel. Every ICS rom does need another kernel, so you'll have to unlock it. Since it's an R800i, it shouldn't be too hard though. If you really don't want to unlock it, you can use a rom like Gin2JB, which looks like it's Jellybean, but is in fact Gingerbread. There is a kernel that supports dual-booting, created by KeiranFTW: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508017
I should note that because the recovery partition (CWM) is inside the kernel on the Xperia Play, meaning you can't flash kernels from the phone. You will need a PC for that.

Thanks for the answer. I installed the jelly bean styled Rom last night, nice for now. Look at siyah kernel on the galaxy s phone, it has a great touch recovery!

Pm me and i will help you trought the process of unlocking the bootloader and flashing what ever you want falshed on your phone. The paranoid rom is infact my daily drive on my xperia play 800i as well. Tho i might trow some CM 10 on it again once camara is working on those cm10 roms.

Thanks for the support, but that be later finally. I installed gin jelly and i have to send it to warranty before i unlock.
Still it's like to know : how much free team do you have after installing paranoid? On stock custom you get about 200 mb
Also as i think i asked already, does everything work, well? Camera, all wireless, etc....

[Q] Roms query

Hi everyone, can any of you advise on the most stable Rom for the glide, I'm on gb back to black, which is a good Rom but I have issue with the camera crashing and slow GPS who doesn't lol.
I had checked ice cream sandwich ROMs and although some report them to be stable there seems to be still some issues at hand, keyboard backlight aside which is easily fixable and route, some still seem to have issues with carrier, GPS and gallery.
Ice cream sandwich still seems to have problems with lag and high-definition games slowing down.
Is there a definitive ROM out there that is stable out there with minimal issues and if so which one.
Thanks in advance for any suggested Roms that are stable enough for daily use without any hardware issues.

If you ask me stay on gingerbread until dman releases ICS aosp because ICS has so many bugs just simple things that will get on your nerves

I find the latest osimood rom is very stable. I've tried a couple ics roms and always had an issue with this or that. the osimood rom is bloat free and there is a zip with all the stock apps if you need one or two.

also recommend the osimood rom based on 2.3.5. will wait for ICS rom based on CM9 or AOSP/AOKP with adracat kernel (wen it will be stable).
hope the development of that rom is in full swing and maybe a beta will pop out so we can test as well.

Thanks guys for the service typically I went to the thread to download but the link was down!!! posted a request for an uplink. i need the phone for business so if this ROM is stable then that's good enough for me, I'll skip ics if unstable as sat nav is not that compatible on ics according to the word.

Does the rooted ROM's lock my SIM-lock?
Hi all!
I just bought an unlocked (carrier free) Captivate Glide from eBay, and had it shipped to Sweden where I live.
I'm wondering about the prerooted roms described in the root-guide on this site... will any of them (AT&T or Rogers) lock my SIM-lock again?
The phone works fine with my Swedish SIM-card, but I need to be rooted to remap the keyboard so I can type Swedish letters on the hardware keyboard. Reson I ask is because I did not recieve an unlock code with the phone that arrived yesterday.
The phone came in an AT&T box so I guess it is a AT&T branded phone.

It is possible (and probably likely) that flashing a new rom will cause your device to re-lock. However, it's very easy to add root yourself without flashing a new rom. You just need to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and from within CWM, flash the 3.2-RC3 superuser.zip from here.
Additionally, if you look around the forums there's a thread on how to bitflip files in your EFS folder to unlock your device that way - something you should look into if you want to flash the device up to 4.0.4 or one of the custom roms.

Thanx!
Thank you! I will look into that then. So it's possible to install CWM without having root through Odin..?

Hi certainly the osimood Rom has not re Iocked my phone none of the GB ROMs has done this to my phone. So it should new ok.

I tested many roms and none of them re-locked my phone (even official ICS from ATT). I bought unlocked glide on ebay too.

Thank you for this good piece of information.
Now I should be set to go.
Think I'll stay on stock for now and just install CWM via Odin and then Superuser via CWMR.
I'll wait for a better ICS rom with less issues i think. Shouldn't be that long i hope...
Thank you for your help!

[Q] Flashing official 4.1.2 onto i8150T

Okay so at the moment i have the 4.1.2 Xperian UI ROM which is based off arco's CM10 installed on my gt-i8150t. I've been using custom roms since samsung's official 2.3.6 gingerbread rom, so i've never had samsung's 4.1.2 installed. However I feel like i want to install it right now (the 4.1.2 XXAMH2), but the only problem is it is for the I8150 and not the I8150T. Will this cause any issues with basebands or bricking, or will it just flash as usual (the only difference in the "T" model is the network band it uses).
Thanks in advance

Samsung stopped supporting the W at 2.3.6......so if you've found a 4.x.x rom....it ain't official....it's a custom rom.......

Bro. Its not new. You're flashing the wrong thing. XXAMH2 is for Galaxy Win, not Galaxy W. There have been plentiful rumors of this, but its not true. Samsung (being the arses that they are) ditched this phone and its community. XXAMH2 is for I8552, not I8150.
