Dream With Tim in Italy not syncing with google contacts and dream

Hi,
This thread is for italian and french users who got a dream withouth syncing feature..
As some my website users noticed, this firmware can't be downgraded ..
Could you do something jesusfreeke?

thanks in advance.

For what retomi.. ? I'm hoping for some suggestion from Jesus Freak

See the end of that thread for another method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493241&page=6
French guys managed to apply a JF firmware on the french Dream by keeping the original kernel, and merge the original HTC RIL library into the JF firmware after gaining root with the above method. Guess a tutorial will appear sooner or later.
Just make sure to make a nandroid backup of your phone as soon as you get root before trying anything risky

Why they need to patch the RIL library? Does them had some problems with the radio?

yes, the baseband firmware is more recent in this version and it looks like it crashed the old RIL

Ok, and what about the google contacts sync ?

Hi blackjackalmiaobo,
to get root access to the HTC Dream by TIM, you can rely on a patched recovery image (follow the guide in italian here).
For the time being, do NOT try to flash a patched SPL/bootloader since it does not work and your phone should die.
Ciao!

hello
very good this topic, I'll take a closer look.
I know that there is a rom "best" but what I'm looking for is just a rom
without modifications. only with WM 6.5. The same way have the WM 6.1
without modification. Which can be obtained directly from htc site

hello
had seen his rom, have not tested yet because I'm reading
on how to flash with SD card. until then only knew how
like the other roms here on the site.
thanks [=

you do not need to flash from sd card !
make a copy of the folder you used to upload any other rom and rename it to cruiserrr or whatever, delete the nbh file from the other cooker and place mine there, you do not need to rename my nbh file if it is the only one in the folder (you can if you want). Simply launch Polaris_customRUU.exe or ROMUpdateUtility.exe and it will flash my ROM.
It is obvious I must clarify it in my thread ! thanks for making me notice it !!!
Edit: Here you have the files (taken from one of pcarvalhos roms), Instructions again.
Simply unzip the zip cruiser uploader.zip and add my nbh file in the same directory where you see ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Connect the ppc to the usb and once you see the connection has been established, flash it !
If you are below 50% of battery then you will need to launch bootloader in the ppc manually (hold on camera button + soft reset) and then launch the romupdate utility.
To flash from a sd card , simply rename the nbh file to POLA100.NBH, copy to the sdcard and enter the bootloader (hold on camera button + soft reset) and the ppc will recognize the file and ask for confirmation to flash it. (However I have to say I have not been able to do so since wm6.5.3 I guess that because of encryption or something my base rom is missing)
Good luck. If you don t like the icons you can try also tranhiman rom (is naked also).
Edit2. Even better, simply put my nbh and this file called Polaris_CustomRUU.exe (you must unzip it) in the same folder, plug the ppc to the usb and run the application. It will unzip all files needed and launch the ROMUPdateUtility extracted, and delete again the files when the flash ends.
Please, let me know if the flashing worked well, ok?

You need to flash official rom if have stability problem, read my post 3

maybe we should propose a sticky thread called "It is the first time you flash a ROM? read this general instructions" since these question raises new threads every week.

Need your Help/Advise on ROM Change

Hello to All,
I recently have 2units of Motorola Motoroi XT720 and I can't even identify it 100%
Since it has Korean markings below the battery and has a "T" symbol upfront, then i seem to believe its a Motoroi.
Anyways, I'd like to change the ROM of this back to stock 2.2..., however, I don't even know if the current ROM is 2.2?, I have searched the net info about KyuHyuk ROM but the sites are Korean and google can't translate it.
here is some info about the phone that I have:
Model number
XT720
S/W version
KyuHyuk ROM for XT720 1.5.0
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Firmware configuration version
GAS_ASIA_SHOTSKT_P006
Baseband configuration version
USASHKSTAB1P2XAPCNSKT03C.0R
Build number
LeeKyuHyuk Build
Kernel version
2.6.29-omap1
H/W Version
umts_sholes
My Question(s) / Needing Help/Advise:
1. Is this ROM Android 2.2?
2. If I flash this to stock 2.2, will the stock 2.2 be much better than the current one that I have?
3. If the stock 2.2 is not that good enough, can someone point me to a fast/stable ROM that fits a Motoroi? or this KyuHyuk ROM is good enough?
Any Info/recommendations/suggestions is appreciated..., may it be good or bad.
thanks for reading my post
best regards,
dabiano

no, your rom is on android 2.1. im not sure about the performance of the roms because our phones here are milestone xt720's and not motorois. im not sure but ive heard somewhere that the stock 2.2 for motoroi is quite laggy. i only know about the milestone xt720 roms and not motorois so i cant help you with suggesting you a rom. the best bet is to stay on the stock rom as it should be almost bug-less.

Yeap, I've search them all here in this particular sub-forum and I still don't have sufficient info...
this is why I'm asking questions here because there are SOME people that owns a Motoroi and they may provide me advise/info.
If the Korean Motoroi sites were that readable and understandable..., I don't have to bother posting it here in the first place.

It's pretty hard to get info about Motoroi ROMs. I don't have an answer to your questions, but I don't think it's inappropriate to ask them here. Milestone XT720 and Motoroi XT720 are twins... mostly alike but with some subtle differences. It can be confusing sometimes when we don't know which phone is being discussed, but you were quite explicit about having a Motoroi.
Since you have a custom ROM loaded, you should learn all about recovery and nandroid. You will want to have copies of both the 2.1 and 2.2 Korean sbfs in your possession. I can upload them tomorrow.
Because of the locked bootloader, the odds are that at some point you will have to flash back to stock, get root and install the bootstrapped recovery and restore nandroids. Knowing how to do that is extremely important. I'm pretty sure the proceedure is the same on Motoroi, so you should be able to follow reverendkjr's videos etc.
So, since you've got a custom ROM, do you know if you also have the openrecovery bootstrap installed? You should be able to test that by holding volume up while powering on.
Regarding the stock Korean 2.2. I think it's pretty good when run on Milestone XT720. There are some small incompatibilities with sensors and such. The WanHu and XDAspecial ROMs are recent attempts to port the Korean 2.2 to Milestone XT720 that have been very well received. In any case, my expectation is that it would be a good upgrade from any 2.1 ROM.

Thanks for your reply, I hope I'm not that bothersome to the XT720 sub thread asking questions here
The reason why I'm asking is that I had once flashed a MyTouch 3G 1.2 [the 3.5mm version] knowing that I thought it was a 32A device and the 32B was that without the 3.5mm..., to make it short..., I bricked it because "MyTouch 3G 1.2" wasn't either a 32A or 32B
This time..., I need to be precise of what I need to do..., then I am now here asking

I think 'openrecovery' is not installed [Phone Off then pressed volume up plus power key]
Is "Android system recovery <2e>" the same as 'openrecovery'?
What I have is similar to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172495
Recovery (mostly quoted from someone else):
Turn off phone
Press Power key + Camera Mode Key to power on the phone and bring up the recovery screen
(Trianlge with exclamation mark shows after motorola logo)
Press Volume Up + Camera Key to show the recovery menu.
Use Volume Up/Down Key to highlight and Camera Mode Key to select
I can see from the screen is:
Android system recovery <2e>
Use Volume Up/Down to highlight; Camera_Mode key to select
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

Korean 2.2 : motoroi_sbf_STSKT_N_79.33.50R.zip : http://www.multiupload.com/P83XF77704
Korean 2.1 : motoroi_sbf_STSKT_N_79.11.39R.zip : http://www.multiupload.com/6C3MBJTIQ1
I've flashed the 50R on my Milestone XT720 before, but I've never flashed 39R. The Motorola bootloader does cryptographic signature checking of sbfs and will refuse to install damaged or modified ones. Frankly, it's pretty hard to brick these phones unless you try monkeying with the bootloader itself. The biggest stinker is the phone does extremely stupid things when the battery is low that will make you think you bricked the phone. I cannot stress how often the answer to bad flashes is to get the damn battery charged (apparently you can't rely on the phone to do it correctly) and then reflash the stock sbf or use Motorola recovery to do a factory reset. I do a lot of flashing/etc and I found getting an external battery charger was very, very worth it for when the phone decides to be stupid.
I think 'openrecovery' is not installed [Phone Off then pressed volume up plus power key]

Click to expand...

No that's Motorola's recovery, OpenRecovery is different. We can't install custom recoveries on XT720 because Motorola does cryptographic signature verification of the recovery at boot. There's more on this by [mbm] here: http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2010/08/clearly-you-have-no-idea-what-efuse-is.html (If you're on linux I am a big fan of sbf_flash also by [mbm])
As you're reading that, the thing to understand is that MilestoneXT720/MotoroiXT720 have the same security as DroidX, so the things he's discussing about Milestone having a vulnerable recovery do not apply ("Milestone" == "Milestone A853").
To enter openrecovery you have to hold volume up while it boots (i.e. press and hold it down until you see either the bootanimation or openrecovery menu).

thank you for such wonderful info ^_^

update...
I now have updated my phone ^_^
=> its now a stock Korean 2.2.1 ROM
=> installed OpenRecovery
=> applied Overclock to 1GHz @ 56vsel [still testing for stability and seems stable at the moment]
=> free RAM is just around 10Mb
My next step is to customize this a little further ^_^
thank you all to those who helped me out ^_^

Hi...I'm Korean and I'm 17...
Kyuhyuk ROM is a ROM made by a Korean High school student named Lee Kyuhyuk. (I think it was 2011)
(He is now in university, his twitter account is @leekyuHyuk, website : http://kyuhyuk.kr/)
He made this ROM because Motoroi with stock rom is REALLY SLOW.
So he decided to customize the stcok ROM himself and he made a ROM called Kyuhyuk ROM.
If u have any questions, ask me at any time and I'll give u more infos about Kyuhyuk ROM and Lee Kyuhyuk!

[Q] UMi X1 review and request for custom Rom

I have bought a UMi X1 from china, am in UK and using giffgaff sim... being playing with the phone since yesterday .. managed to get the internet working by putting giffgaff APN manually, tried to install custom ROM, but all in Chinese, even after you change the language there are still things left in Chinese, so i went back and installed the original ROM phone had. changed the language... phone is quite good, i like the screen and speed is very good as well.
managed to install other apps like Google map, chrome, Skype, and some game.. all work good, but when ever i install them some Chinese permission thing comes up, which i don't understand, but i think i keep clicking green tick and it works
I managed to root it using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460" tried super user and it works (not sure what benefit i get from rooting, sorry am a noob)
I followed instruction for custom roms from "http://www.gizchina.com/2012/10/28/download-install-umi-x1-custom-rom/", still all Chinese.
if any one have a question regarding this phone usage or any other information they required am willing to answer from my experience of this phone.
I would like to know if any one would be willing to develop a clean miui English ROM or jelly bean for this device? or any one willing to help me to develop a ROM ( would need alot of help as i don't know single thing about developing, but keen to learn).

Hi !
Sorry to not answer to your request but i have one question about this phone that i want to buy. The camera is good? In reality it's a 5MP no? Because it's hard to find review about this phone, i know that is a good phone but nothing about the camera. Sorry for my bad english and thanks

UMI X1 roms
I'm also looking for information to root . But also need a rom . Have you got Clockword mod recovery installed ? Please can some one help us to install CWM recovery to UMI X1. Can we use any other rom developed for other MTK6577 phones as this phone also has MK6577 processor.
Any one interested can look one of first article on this topic in English here . Search gizbeat custom rom in google
For a review and video of phone see following: search in google: exclusive-umi-x1-unboxing-and-hands-on

looks like no one is intrested....

how to get some one attention on this?

there's also rom link on shuame.com but i don't know wether it's also had english language or not , there's also a custom rom for x1 at lewaos.com

I have received my Umi x1,love it but having real trouble flashing the Umi rom,still cant give up.Hoping others will buy phone with more intelligence than me and post,fingers crossed.

I used this method to ROOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I tried about all the ROMs from Shaume.com
Without keeping track of procedure.. did a lot of flashing and factory reset
I don't know any chinese, so i just pressed buttons with icons I thought would do the job (with the risk of doing something wrong and brick the phone)
There are a few mods wit CWM, so once that one is installed flashing is pretty straightforward.
I'm having trouble to get a GPS fix (the Netherlands).
After trying many different gps.conf files (/etc/gps.conf) and different apps (GPS Status, GPS Test, GPSFix), Manually download EPO files..
Result: 1 time GPS fix with GPS fix.. but thats it
Anyone a bit more luck with the GPS fix?
Something that might be handy:
Boot into recovery: turn off phone first -> hold volume up and then power on phone. release both when UMI logo shows.
Engeneer Mode: "call" *#*#3646633#*#*

Will get mine tomorrow, it's just cleared customs. I'll probably do a custom ROM too, but it might take time as I'm having exams till the 26th of this month.
Also, I suggest OP to change the title of this thread to '[discussion] UMI X1' or something like that. Thanks.

You can do it too, click on 'edit post' and then 'go advanced'. Or maybe a new thread can be started too.
Thanks.

[HELP] apps disapeared and external memory was deleted

Hello guys, it has been several times that I had problems with my device.
Some forced closing advices often appeared on the screen and I was not able to use most of the apps of my phone. Turned off the device and then turned on, lots of apps disapeared and the external memory was completely deleted (apps, photos, mp3s and so on).
Recently, some google error advices appeared on my phone and later all gapps (Play included) disapeared.
I always tried to restore the device flashing stock ROM.
This situation is exasperating me and I would like to know the reasons of it and how to solve it. Can anybody help me? Thank you!
My device is a Galaxy Fit with stock flashed ROM, rooted (Superuser). External memory (16GB MicroSD card) was partitioned using CWM (flashed) in two portions: ext2 (2048M) and fat32. Partition was made to use Link2SD app and save most of internal memory. I also installed AdAway (non Play app) to hide banners.
Thanks again and see you soon!

Did u use cwm 5.0.2.7 (by tjstyles)? If yes, then for ur info. it creates ext4 partition, not ext2. Also, pls. mention baseband version of ur stock rom & ur country/region.

Thank you for answering me.
No, I did not. I downloaded CWM from the web and I do not remember where. Actually, I do not think that my CWM could have the same particularity (unknown till now) that tjstyles one has, because Link2SD never accepted ext4 partition (it automatically used ext2).
S5670DDKT1 and Italy, Europe.
Thank you and see you soon...

S5670DDKT1 is of India. For Italy I found this S5670XWKTO.
Its extremely dangerous if u flashed wrong stuff that's not made for our phone. Here's the right recovery which u need to start with : Clockworkmod recovery for Galaxy Fit GT-S5670.:sly:
Note: Flash this recovery after flashing stock 2.3.6 firmware & follow the procedure properly
Good Luck!:thumbup:
U can also search our XDA Galaxy Fit forum for right stuff
Hope this helps...!!

Thank ahmetakin and Galaxy_Rohit for answering me! You gave me important information and helped me a lot.
I recently flashed a new stock ROM (DDKT3), rooted and flashed CWM, following guide and dowloading files from these sites:
http://www.droidthunder.com/update-...ial-android-2-3-6-gingerbread-ddkt3-firmware/
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-recovery-cwm-samsung-galaxy-fit-gt-s5670/
My phone seems to work pretty well. Are those links (and contained stuff) appropiate for my device? Otherwise, have I to follow guide and download and use stuff from links you gave me?:

What about the root?
Thank you and see you soon...

I guess u rooted already after flashing DDKT3. Btw I also have DDKT3. If still u have not rooted then tell me. I'll give u the file(~1MB size)that I used to root my FIT

When you told me that DDKT3 rom (for India only) could be dangerous for my phone, I immediately flashed the rom suitable for my country that you suggested to me (S5670XWKTO).

Ok, thank you!
Surfing on internet I found rooting and CWM files more appropriate for my rom. At the moment, my device seems to work pretty well and very stable.
I think that my problem was solved and I learned new things about my device thanks to this forum and its users!

No dude!! Not in that sense. I meant about those stuff which are not made at all for our device(Galaxy Fit) &/or if u r not sure whether the files u r using are suitable for our FIT.
Since DDKT3, XWKTO..etc. are Galaxy Fit firmwares(with different country/region), so ur phone will work fine with any of these firmwares. But ensure that they are made for this phone(Galaxy Fit) only.
& its even better to have a firmware that suits ur country/region. So u made the correct choice bro!!:thumbup:

Absolutely right. And the only difference between the firmwares of two different countries is, I suppose, the language support..
@magiuster Glad we could be of help! Happy flashing! :good:
