[Q] My bricked DS back from store. but another problem here~ - HTC Desire S

as told as my previous threads, my DS has been bricked
and finally sent to store for repair
now i have got him again~ nice
btw the store helps me flash a rom
but i dunno what is it...
it might be MIUI2.1.13
and cyanogenmod+
then i find i dun like this because:
1/ the market cannot work! i try searching an app but it showed 'error retrieving information from server.' i have googled this and had a factory reset. it works for a second then now the problem again. i think it's so troublemsome.
2/ i dun have chinese input method. i would like to have both english and chinese input method for some convenience. however i couldn't change the input method.
devs, what should i do?
i am wondering should i flash a new rom but i am now freaking that may like my past experience, DS bricked and chip fried.
what should i do?
--------------------update-------------------
3/ i found that there is no button for me to view all apps. i googled but no suitable results.

Go back to the store?

Hi again!
Just flash another ROM with full wipe. Your problems will be gone.
I recommend MIUI, it is Chinese and is great

Adapting extended rom. possible or not?

Hello Magician guys....
After having now for a long time the good old XDA I device i recently upgraded to Magician device. Received it today and think it was a good choice. Now i have spent a long time here in the forum to get more infos concernig this device.
All i want to do in the moment is to customize my device. Aborting the extended rom installation and dumping the rom worked fine. ;-)
Glad to read this all here in the forum.
But now i want to change the extended rom.
After reading many postings here, i could not find any solution. Maybe i´m blind or it´s still impossible to do that.
Can anybody give me a hint to a thread how to do this, or dissapoint me and tell me it´s in the moment definitly not possible....
Regards
Stefan

i think the or is correct
Actually it is possible to change the Extended ROM content, but you can only read the modified content. And if you want to change it, you have to hard reset in order to flash it again.
:roll: so how do you change it??
I wouldn't mind re-flashing if I could choose to install stuff to Extended ROM....
You may refer to the following post:

It works for me with ROM version 1.03.

HTC HD phonepad manilla problem

Guys,
I`ve installed some modified manilla on my HTC HD (got it from xda some thread don`t remember exactly) and now my phone pad keyboard got screwed in a minor but sick way.
The thing is that the voice/ video call button from left right got a text on it (Call Hi..)[exactly links to call history.]
i`ve trued factory default hard reset but the problem did not solved.
I really want that button to work as it was meant to, so i`m asking u any kind of help u can get.
i think some manilla from the original files was screwed.
The first option will be not to modify the original ROM.
curently using rom: 1.19.70.1 WWE from 11/24/2008
hey
its a fault of the original rom ur using, i had the same thing before i upgraded to official 1.56 rom, so if you wanna fix it i suggest you go to HTC site and download it. It also gives better gps performance etc.
Sorry but i can not upgrade from site.
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
i get this by using my phone Sn.
any other way i can get the rom file?! The original upgraded one, no alteration with out interacting with htc.com

[Q] Question, Gingerbread baseband?

I´ve been using gingerbread rom´s for a long time, but in the last days, when i flashed acura´s 3d max rom and then prometheus rom and kernel, when i try to connect to my network the phone gives me a message that i have inserted wrong pin and i have 3 more tries, the pin his right and this happens 2 or 3 times then it gets the network but it only works for a few minutes, and then it gives me "reorganizing internal processes..." message.
I´ve been reading about basebands and kernel's and stuff, but i still the same.
So i have one first question, i have on my phone information this baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Is this the right version? Gingerbread baseband?
Thank you
I had the same problem after flashing Prometheus kernel I had to reflash my kdz to fix it

You know what RTFM means? Here is used RTFF...cause you have it all here. Anyway a hint: use Lg updater, go to customer assistance, emergency and recovery mode, put your IMEI and you should be good to go with the latest baseband.

Hello, i did a lot of research before i ask, and only today i knew how to realy see the baseband number on my phone like people writh in this forum (V21and so). The phone information tells us "L6260_Modem..." and i was thinkin how the hell can i say if it is v20a or v21e???
That was the purpose of my question. Instead of that, i did a kdz flash following post 14 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651901&page=2
I flashed 21e following the instructions, but my question still remained till today, How can i tell if it has v21e installed on my phone?
So today i was readind a threas, don´t know exactly wich, sorry, but i found the answer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril
Just install it and it gives you the baseband that you have installed on your phone.

...The baseband version I see it on the last line of the "About phone" option from Settings menu. But there are some issues with some ROMs, for example I've used the Meemo Xplay ROM that, for some reason gave no info about IMEI and software version (baseband).
I restore stock ROM using suggested tutorial and now in about phone have:
Baseband version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel version 2.6.35.7+
Build number GRJ90
Software version LGP920-V21e-Apr-19-2012
Before this I have Promethius 1.5 together with battery draining and dont know if this is OK after flashing stock ROM? Can I install Promethius 1.5+ now with new kernel?

Just got in the Coolpad 5860E...

So we just got the coolpad 5860E at my metro store. This thing... wow. And not in a good way. It is a larger version of the Wildfire (shudder). 1ghz processor, 512 mb of RAM... it just PALES in comparison to the Motion we got in last week.
Problem is... It will sell better because of the bigger screen.
So, seeing as how we will be offering rooting/flashing and such... Is there any development for this phone (or the LG for that matter)?
I am attaching Quadrant scores for the Coolpad...
fancy seeing this phone outside china.
i got mine in china, slightly different, coolpad instead of metroPCS and no front camera, also only got measlly 256ram
i guess its just a rebranding from the same manufacturer.
BUT juz to be sure. tell me all the hardware spec.
cos there a way to root it for mine, i think.
and will do so as soon as i figure out the chinese writings, and im kinda bad at it for someone whos in china for 3 yrs ;p
any one gud at chinese?
heres the link on how to flash i think.
http://www.dashi.com/guide/776.html
---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
juz did some quick research.
i think that might be a 5860+ in chinese market, with a different body/case
it uses the same chipset, the MSM7627, just diff clock speed, higher ram and better camera.
---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
further research i found the page i think u r looking for.
http://www.dashi.com/devices/765.html
it contains instruction and roms.
ill report back as soon as i flashed and root my device.
but could'nt be sure if it works on ur, cos we have diff hardware config.

didnt thought anyone was interested.
anyhow, here's the driver hope it works. let us know.
uploaded the driver for win7, let me know if u need other driver
i baidu search Chinese rom for u guys and found a way to flash the CWM recovery i think
http://bbs.189store.com/thread-56313-1-1.html
requirement:
M$win os,
applocale, or change system locale to chinese/china
DISCLAIMER: USUAL STUFF IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAP, BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH.....
GIVE CREDIT TO THE CHINESE GUYS AND NOT ME, AND SO FORTH.........
1. open the link above and look for "http:删除我//pan.baidu......"
2. copy paste it to ur browser (remove the chinese character ofcos)
3. download the 5860+第三方recovery.rar by clicking the '下载' button
4. extract after download
5. put ur phone into flash/download mode by, turn ur phone off, connect it to the pc while holding the vol- button.
6. after that open the file ~/客服_7kDownloader/客服_7kDownloader.exe
7. chose the right com port that is ur phone, on the topleft of the aplication
8. and press ’开始‘ at the bottom right, wait till it finish flashing.
sometimes it got stuck, and the solution is to check ur device manager for unknown device
and install the driver (the adb driver i think) and after that it should continue, or repeat the flashing process if not.
(happened to mine)
the process is the same for flashing other roms thats on that board that i posted.
fyi its all in chinese but juz look at [ROM] threads.
also u need to register, login and reply to see the link.
but seing u got CMW, i think you guys can start cooking ur own rom.
PS I CANT TEST IT SEEING THAT I GOT A DIFFERENT(OLDER) CONFIGURATION THAN Y'ALL
BUT GUD LUCK.
Tanks for the driver i will install it right away try the cwm after that so i let you guy's now how everything goes

i apologize for the late reply as i have been busy this past few days.
fret not, as i'll ask for permission for repost of the chinese roms, and translate it as best as i can
it should take a couple of days to do this, but i cant test it as i got a slightly a different hardware.
so, in short i'll be providing instructions and data only. the rest its up to you guys.

may be any one could try asking coolpad.us for flashing tool, for rom dump.
I did exactly that. Also asked them for a link to the source code for the current android build as it should be released under GPL. You can boot into recovery on these things by holding both Vol Up and Vol Down and powering on. Once you see the droid, press the soft HOME key to bring up the menu. I can't do much with it yet. Haven't gotten fastboot to work. If you hold just Vol UP and power it it takes you to a black screen with white text that says "=======Enter VIA USB======". I thought this was saying "enter via USB" but after doing a
Code:
system_profiler SPUSBDataType
I noticed a device entry with a Manufacture of VIA Telcom. Still this mode does nothing for me. No luck yet, but still digging.

Hey guys, My friend got a coolpad quattro. I used to own a couple evo shift 4g's and it seems to look like through the android system recovery menu that you would need to downgrade to a different android system by tricking the android system into thinking it was an update via the apply update from sdcard. I am not that tech savvy with development or "jail breaking" android bootloaders but I think it might have to start with the partitioning of the blocks first to find where it is placed in the nand chip. I hope that someone can take what I have offered up as advice and try to make some progress with this.
any progress ? root...unlock...

[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

looks like no one is intrested....
how to get some one attention on this?

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.

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.
