Here is the link to download AT&T's demo ROM used on Samsung Focus. DO NOT install this ROM to your device!!! I am posting it so someone with the required skills may be able too cook a custom ROM for the focus or remove the demo mode from it!
it's a shame that focus is the only wp7 without a custom ROM available yet!
Here is the link: http://megaupload.com/?d=KC6YS0FT
dell venue pro also has no custom rom =/
Optimus 7 E900h has no custom rom either.
there isn't any "custom" rom for real wp7 phones , only the hd2 has custom rom's
before we can have custom rom's we need to find a way to lower the security and get some nativ app's running (isn't that easy) then we need a Hspl to get that rom on the phone and we need a kitchen (one with reloc for all the parts of the ROM).
when we have that all it will be possible to make custom rom's , so don't keep your breath wile waiting because it will take long to get that all
It appears the link is no more working.. busted I guess! sorry..! if anyone needs it I can upload it somewhere maybe..
Thread cleaned, if this thread doesn't stay on topic, it will be closed. I don't have a reason to believe this was from a stolen phone. People leak things all the time, even before the phone is released . The way this is laid out seems to be in a similar manner of an HTC RUU, this is probably used to get regular Focus's to demo mode.

Zero Tolerance is in effect for this thread and others like it if it moves to that. Play nice
The download link is still working.
The download contains a file called "Focus.exe". It is a flash-tool with ROM-files embedded. When it is started, it will first extract the embedded ROM files. There will be 4 files extracted in your temp-folder. Then the flash-tool is started and waiting for a phone in download-mode to be connected. You should obviously not do that. If you want to analyze this ROM you should start Focus.exe and make a copy of these 4 files in your temp-folder and then close it again.
I'm not really sure what a Demo Mode ROM is, so I want to know what's so bad about it?
The thing is that I have a bricked Focus on my hands which doesn't boot beyond the Samsung Logo. The only solution I can think of is flashing it with a new ROM but since there aren't any stock ROMs available, I can't do that.
Would flashing it with the Demo ROM bring it back to life?
no it would do nothing but render it useless if the phone was working.... demo mode is what comes on the at&t in store demo phones...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It does not come on them, it is put on them by the AT&T staff.
*edit*
I have upped the files that the Samsung/WP7 software dumps to the temp folder in case someone wishes to have direct access to them for analysis.
There are about 4 files, all *.tmp
one is 300+ megs, one is 20, the other 2 are small

good job let's hope someone will be able one day to create or leak a ROM for Focus..
Doesn't look like that day would be coming any time soon
have faith my friend! what if someone could capture the nodo update with any software during downloading? is this in any way possible?
I thought about that too, but it turns out its only a Delta update, not a complete Firmware/ROM so it isn't possible.
I'm trying to be optimistic here, but considering there is absolutely no developer interest in the Focus, I'm not holding my breath anymore
great..! I am wondering how much would I get for selling my bricked focus for parts (is stuck on Samsung screen and only with a new ROM would be fixed)..
Yes my device has the same problem. What I learned from all this was that HTC smartphones are a much better choice since they at least have developers working on them.

Here is the service Manual, hopefully this can help bring some ROM's to the phone.
It includes everything from hardware troubleshooting to factory service that requires serial port for technical flashing and trouble shooting.
Its a very detailed manual with great pictures
TIP: After Rooting DO NOT TRY to boot into RECOVERY!!!!! from anything like a reboot app. It will RESET phone, erase everything from the internal memory and I know because I did it twice mistakenly.
Rooting does NOT install a Recovery. I only say this because I see people posting these types of questions.

No custom roms, no developer support. I just got rid of mine for a Sony Xperia Z3v

New to these forums and new to rooting
Bought myself a Desire HD for my business phone but would like to root it / upgrade it to a later ROM (i.e. ICS or JellyBean if possible) but I've never done anything like this before so a dumb-ass guide would be grateful :good:
My main computer is a 2010 MacBook Pro but I do have access to a Windows 7 laptop
I've looked through the forums but haven't come across a basic guide on how to update the ROM on a Desire HD that I fully understand so if there is one that's easy enough to follow please can you show me the link/whereabouts?
The phone is used for calls, texts, emails and internet access but also need wifi to work and GPS as I use CoPilot Live sat nav on my phones too
Thanks for any/all advice
Ace Think Tank for guides. Easy Ace Root Tool for root tool.
I'm thinking of rooting and possibly putting a custom rom on my AU LGL21 Optimus G, however, the only rooting guides I can find are for either the "international" version or the Docomo version. These guides seem to work in aspects of gaining root access, but apparently wifi stops working after just rooting using those guides(referencecan't post links yet, ask) Japanese, but google translate seems to not slaughter it too bad).
I have a programming background and am quite used to linux, I will not mind trying to even compile stuff by myself as long as there is a safe option for reflashing when it goes wrong. I am not however overly used to android hacking, does anyone know where I should start if I want to try to root it while trying to use other networking firmware etc. to get everything to work?
Also, is it possible to just grab device drivers and firmware from the stock rom? E.g. the LGL21 has a one segment TV receiver not found on the korean model, and it would be awesome if I could somehow get cyanogen or something on it and add in stock firmware for the devices that don't work otherwise.
I'd greatly appreciate ANY help
Thanks.
Guys can someone prepare a guide for this?
I researched a lot but kept on getting confused !
BASICALLY -
1) Possible to root it ?
2) If yes , easiest method or most efficient one ? Perhaps toolkit (Loved it on my gt i 9300 international version )
3) Rooted apps (Superuser access requires) to make best use of lg g3 processor ?
4) A guide where sort of best LG themes per week are shared ( Idea like so that everybody can benefit : ) ) - Followed by dev guide and links to tools used to make theme .
5) Possible to hack LG home ?
6) In app free / paid app free developer tutorials ?
7) guide to showcase LG G3 's best possible features and how to add more beautiful features ( Of course only if we can root then how to add ).
8) CM11S OPO roms like that on LG G2 possible on LG G3?
Sorry folks , but I am seriously a noob and scared damn of bricking my g3 if I do things wrong way, so posting here :angel:
