hey guys, i just did my 1st rom and radio flash.
im on a contract with 3 in australia..
rom..EnergyROM Series 2.0 with Final Rhodium Manila** ||Build 32209
radio..1.12.25.19 and im loving the new look..
however.. i lost my 3 (3g company/ carrier) tab..u know, the tab with the 3 symbol on it so when u press it, u can find out how much u have spent, ur pack and all that other stuff..3 content page..
just wondering is there any way of getting it onto this rom i have..without going back to the stock rom?? or can i just type in the address to get to that page?? i dont know the address btw..
I'm not 100% sure if you can get the 3 tab back on (im sure theres a way to do it i just dont know how) but in the mean time if you want to access your account you can login via your computer (most probably through your phone aswel) at http://care.three.com.au/

yeah i know about using the computer to check out my acc details, however i like the 3 tab cause i can access all my user packs like sports and movies.. also its easier to check my acc balance on the phone with a single touch..
Hey thats the rom im using, im on three as well.
all i do is go to the home page http://three.net.au/ (from the phone) at the bottom it has a link to my account.
that 3 tab was horrible in the original rom.
hey how are you finding the 1.12.25.19 radio with signal? im using a earlier version that has the best signal range, much better than the standard one anyway (im 20 mins from the Melb CBD)

I sent my Nexus S to get fixed and when I got it back it was completely different, it was like they left a developers version on it.
I don't want to send it away to fixed again.
I attached some pictures of the software that is on it now (more in the zip), if anyone nows how I could get it back to 2.3.4 like I had before I got it fixed I would be very greatful.
If not than maybe the information could be helpful to someone
sorry if this is in the wrong place but i couldn't find anywhere better to put it
Nesus S GT-I9020A
Model number: Full Android on Crespo
Android version: 2.4

Is this a joke or is this legit?
I would do a nandroid backup and upload it for other Nexus One owners to check out before you wipe ANYTHING.

So its a terrible fake.
Oh wait! My phone just update to Android 5.4.9! OMFGBUTTONS!
I can...
I can confirm i have a 2.4 device, looks like its a developer phone or something...my friend is a mobilicity dealer, and fresh out of the box we were greeted by a big red and black wallpaper ...its brand new...from the dealer. how do i extract this firmware? or does someone want it?
*Edit
it seems alot smooter and quicking in comparison to another nexus s we have with 2.3 on it, my friend said he recieved a batch of 10 and only one of them was like this....

Your photos look a lot more legitimate than the OPs. I'll forward this link to an ACS member and see what he thinks of it.
I think this is fake. I don't think that 2.4 would have the same kernel version as 2.3, but maybe it is a minor update or something.
If this is real do not try to customize/wipe/reset and keep it as is until you can make a full backup.
u could adb shell into it and get some more information from there.
Could they extract the whole thing using Odin?
It's legit, but it's dead old.
2.3.3 is newer.
in all honesty it feels way smoother...i mean absolutly no lag on the home screen with widgets i know you guys feel a bit of lag on the 2.3.3 home screen...if not your lying lol but ...the launcher feels like its Launcher pro...it doesn't do the reel thing..if you know what i mean...yeah i really want to extract this...we boxed it up and didnt even put a sim in it...let me know what to do guys...
+1 On the wallpaper. Actually no, it's a fail.
1) The phone wouldn't even boot if the OS wasn't installed completely not to mention I've never seen an Android phone throw up the 'warning' like that. It just writes it to the log and reboots, crashes, carries on, or doesn't boot at all.
2) It's an obvious wallpaper because the widget sits in front of it. A warning would pop up in front of every other task if that's what Android did (normally it boot loops or crashes).
3) The phone info screen makes no sense. You can also edit the build.prop file to make the info screen say "your_mom_is_hot 5000.00.543.158" and the kernel could say "pot.head 2.35.420".
4) We've seen this sort of thing before. If you're going to fake it - make sure you don't have a bunch of Android geeks around to call you out.
5) If it's really 2.4 (which may not even be the number for the next version) then tell us, what's new? Oh it's smoother? Great, so is CM7 and MIUI. Smoother doesn't cut it, sorry. New features that we don't have are where it's at and are what proves it to us. So do it....

im so digging the love on this thread, i asked if someone would help me extract it so that someone could take a deeper look into the version, if i knew what i was doing, i wouldn't think twice to ask...i would have just posted it...people come to forums for help....not to get bashed on sharing what they think is something new....great help.....lets see if androidme can help.

Please don't base your opinion on one post. I suggested something to help and then had to go to work. Then again, if you're going pose it in a way like you're extorting us or are some picky, middle aged lady at Jcpenney threatening totake her business elsewhere maybe they should help you. A couple people here offered assistance but you're choosing to listen to those who are skeptical. We see a lot of bogus info.
Sent from bat country!
Honestly, it's not worth dumping.
2.4 was GRI05.
If you really must, install ClockworkMod and take a NAND backup.
lol at the jcpenny old lady....
well i'll try to extract it tonight using Odin like you said...i just dont want to muck it up and not have it work anymore...i hope theres more than 1 try.
Google has already announced only version 2.3.5!
So why we are talking about 2.4? It is easy to change you android version in build.prop =)
Hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my nexus s. Not going to bother with photos because people will say they are fake but it looks the same. I took it to get repaired because it was freezing, they didn't repair it but it came back with what I think is a developers/maintenance version of android. It's called 2.4 but it's not a new version. It has lots of developers apps e.g. 'Dev Tools'. It doesn't have Android market though so you can't really access any new apps.
Does anyone know how to get back to 2.3.x so I can just have a normal phone.
I've tried updating to 2.3.x (1, 3 and 4) and it fails every time as it's not really an update. I think I need to do a 'full' install of 2.3.x. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Sorry I've been away for a few weeks. I used to follow these threads like a hawk but I just got too busy with a huge dev project that ate my life like they can sometimes do... I read through threads about rooting 1.85 and unlocking...But I'm just confused. Sorry if this is redundant but...
I'm currently on 1.74 (if I'm reading that right, 1.73.502.1 710RD ... oddly enough I tried to update but it didn't let me... assuming that annoying message I kept declining for days was the 1.85 update).
Now I could go to check for updates again but I'm not. I figured I better ask around and see what the best course of action is.
I rooted a while ago when it was first available. So I have root.
So that's where I'm at. Now, my question is what's the best course of action?
Am I not able to update OTA to 1.85? Because I already rooted?
If I can check for updates and get the update, will it remove my root?
The last post in the 1.85 root thread says that they may have fixed their servers to avoid rooting 1.85??
Can I just now unlock my phone and flash ROMs? and not worry about carrier updates?
Is there anything I'm missing with the 1.85 update? That I couldn't get elsewhere?
I may or may not flash a ROM. I just don't want to be prevented from doing so if I want. HTC's Sense is not crashing like it used to, so I have no major need to flash a ROM yet... Improved performance would be the only reason. Maybe some development reasons as well.
Opinions?
Thanks much. I appreciate the help.

Haha no it's not. Also, it should be under Q&A.
You can go ahead and unlock and flash a custom rom. There's no need to get the OTA (which would most likely make you go through the rooting process again). Since your'e already rooted pre-1.85 you can flash a rom and guarantee that you'll retain your root status.
:laugh: Suffer the wrath of trolls.
Nah, I would download the 1.85 firmware update RUU [ran from your computer to install instead of OTA] and root [SOON] or root / unlock bootloader / install custom recovery then flash a new rom. First idea for a rom would be CleanROM. If all you want is root status, I would start there because It gives you basically a clean slate with bloatware removed and some minor tweaks I believe. Otherwise you could use CM9 or one of the few other roms that you may like. Personally I get the best performance out of KingCobra's rom. So idk :b
Gotta add my two sense for unlock and flashing Sick Sense. Very smooth.

Thanks guys, sorry again for misplacing this post.
I think I might browse the ROMs then. I didn't realize there were already so many options. I thought the 1.85 update may improve my issues with the signal being lost...I have to turn on airplane mode and off again to reconnect to their network despite the 4G (and sometimes LTE) icons showing up the whole time...But I'm just thinking I'm unfortunate in that my apartment has poor signal. Though my wife's iPhone works just fine...Oh well.
Thanks again. Time to check out some ROMs. I definitely don't want to grab some update and get locked out of it all.
my vote goes to scott standard clean rom! it has eqs, and a couple other little tweaks, that way u can add whatever u want!

I have had the same issues with data and have had my phone swapped twice because of it and the 1.85 update nor any of the other radios has made any difference so I would just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then rom of choice.

There is a new radio that should fix that stuff. Lemme find it. Here ya go. the latest ATT at the bottom. ATT 2.09 (0.17a.32.09.24_2_10.91.32.19L http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
This should help wifi and mobile data. I also replaced a phone because of the mobile data issues. New phone did it also. Once i installed 1.88 ruu it was all fixed. You dont have to install the ruu now. Just pick your favorite custom rom and then flash this radio. The radio from 1.88 fixes it also but its from an asia ruu,. This new ATT radio is promising, i'd go with that.. Thank Designgears for that leak
Clean rom is good. Sick Sense as well as King Cobra. I'm rockin the new king cobra 1.2 and its pretty amazing. Any of these roms will be much much much better than stock. Tons of great mods, Speed and stability is great with all of them. You will think your CPU speed doubled..No lies! Install Titanium Backup (purchase it) and back up all of your apps. If you get the paid version, you can restore them all to your new rom 1 touch. The free version you have to do each app 1 at a time.
Edit. Of course you are rooted. But did you unlock the BL through HTC Dev also? If you mentioned it i must have missed it. If not you need to do that first.

What kind of issues? :crying: the same as before? they completely went away for me.:fingers-crossed: Have you seen anybody else still having issues with 1.88 or newer?

Well, I've swapped it 3 times now. The first one I do not remember having that problem. Not saying it didn't but I can't remember. I returned it due to random reboots. Other than that the 1st one was flawless. Ever since then the phones I've received and have swapped have an issue where if I got into work where I have a hard time getting a signal the phone doesn't automatically re-connect when I go outside and have great signal. Even though it shows I have 4g and full bars if you look in the settings menu at mobile network it says turning on instead of connected and the only way to be able to make or receive phone calls or text messages is either toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone. Problem now is I'm past my thirty days so it would probably have to be done threw the warranty and not an in store swap.
Hello All,
I just thought I would confirm that the 7.8 update is being sent out to our devices.
I have just plugged mine in to Zune, and it immediately said that I had an update waiting.
Just for reference, I have an HTC 7 Pro, that is running the standard UK Rom.
Great to see a wide range of the original devices getting the update, thus far I have it working on my Titan and HD7 and now that I have seen this thread I can let my work colleague know it's available for his 7 Pro.
Differences?
I updated this morning, I can't see much different apart from the start menu.
It seems to be running slower too.

The change log is as follows.
Start Screen: Provides resizable Live Tiles (small, medium, large) to provide for more customization options for your Start Screen.
Accent Colors: Increases the number of available accent or theme colors to twenty.
Lock Screen: Improves the lock screen performance with accidental wipe protection and rotating wallpapers provided through the Bing image of the day.
Marketplace and Xbox: Expands Windows Phone Marketplace and Xbox support to new countries and regions.
Fonts: Enhances the Chinese font and improves the appearance of Arabic and other languages.
Microsoft also notes that the 7.8 update includes many "other improvements" to Windows Phone in the change log.
Odd, we don't seem to be getting the update at all stateside. Tried the method I used to forge Mango (update, click somewhere else, click update again, unplug network cable, wait, nothing). Sprint Forumers are saying that the update is totally shelved for US customers with this phone, because of a manufacturer decision from HTC somehow.
I'm suddenly interested in what the heck is going on now, since you folks in the UK are getting along with 7.8 just fine...gahhhhhhhh sprint

If you are still on mango, it will take awhile. stay by the phone, will need 5 plus reboots with confirmation clicks for each reboot.

Like we said before, the start screen looks nice, with resizeable tiles, and that's it, some icon changes maybe, but no real improvement underline. It's nice to get an update, but not too much with no real fixes for the problems we are facing. Actually, it should be quite easy for many of those "problems" to be fixed.

Stupid Sprint!!!! Making us all jump through hoops to get an update to our phone when they could probably easily turn it on. UGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Guys,
Incase you didn't know, doesnt appear to be common knowledge yet, but i just had a tip off, checked updates and low and behold, an update is available.
Im carrier unlocked, so it may be a while coming to you, but keep checking.
Strangely about still reports OSversion is 80.10211.204?
On the face of it, it appears to be a quite a big release, after installing and restarting a couple of time, you get presented a 'migrating data' screen, in all takes 10 minutes from starting the install.
Whats changed...?
Well i dont know yet, still installing, but thought id give you all the heads up.
Will report back when installation has finished.
Ciao.
Interesting find! Receiving the update as well now (unbranded). Makes me curious as of what might have changed.
Strange, but the "Windows Phone 8 update history" on microsoft site nows nothing about this update.
UPD:
Some Sina Weibo account could be added.
If you read OP message carefully, OS is not updated. It is probably just a HTC firmware update. Not a WP8 OS update.
Well it isn't an os update, so its from htc, as to what its done i don't know. I didn't note my firmware version before updating so i cant tell you lol. Device feels faster but probably placebo effect. Anyone notice anything?

Contacted HTC support today, no changelog, they dont know (or wouldnt say) whats been updated, they said to contact MS for info, which ive now done.
Be interesting to know what else has changed.
I noticed this as well as I am always checking for updates in the hope some amazing new features will be added to WP8, wasn't unfortunately, as mentioned above a firmware update and rom loader version update.
Phone seems faster but we are all probably imagining that!
Any information on what this update contains would be appreciated
A little extra boost on battery life would be nice, not that my 8X has a bad life, but its not the best ever.
Hi
My 8X Just back from technical support and as already the new bootloader version (0.0.1532.20(162966)
It seem now i can't flash via Goldcard method! :crying: (i can't unbrand it this time!)
And after reset there is a gears turning during 5 mn on screen! I Never See This Before....
IF YOU WANT TO UNBRAND YOUR 8X DO NOT UPDATE NOW.
My batterylife seems to be better - my device would get pretty hot while using Whatsapp or reading pdf files or things like browsing, but not anymore since this OTA update!
One thing I have noticed, is that the phone sometimes has a 1-2 second delay after tapping the Back key. so sometimes I press back twice because the phone didn't seem to response to the first tap but it did in fact, so I double tap out of an app which is pretty annoying. But if thats all, well, I'll just use the windows button instead haha.
Anyone noticed that under Advanced (Wifi) you have the ability to let the phone detect your location for better wifi re-connection? At least I didn't notice this option before the patch. Pretty sweet! Doesn't seem to impact my battery too much, I usually finished the day with 25%, now I still have around 50-60%. Might be placebo, but it makes me smile when I see other people running for powersockets with their iPhones/Androids
Hi,
I have an HTC from USA AT&T, I have firmware: 1532.20.10009.502 and bootloader: 0.0.1532.20(156201),
Why this numbers are far enought from the one you are saying and when I look for updates it say it is updated.?
Well, the device is certainly booting faster, so that is a big :highfive: in my book
Is this update on Verizon.
Check the volume guys, same as Lumia 800. Restricted
Haven't received anything yet! Unbranded 8x here! Are they distributing this one by country or what?
Just had update here on O2 UK...
Only difference I have seen so far is a Hearing Damage Warning when putting the volume over 20 when listening to music....to be fair, mine never actually hits more than 15....

well, I had the update two days ago. The volume is not restricted, just that now when you turn it up above 20/30 while playing media content, it will give you a message about blasting your eardrums out. Probably they forgot to include that before as the 8X is quite capable of high volume output. Just some legal precautions. Other than that, it's just a FW and boot loader update from HTC side, not from MS.

i don't know how they decide which devices get the update, but it isn't depending on Country as my father got the update 3 days ago and i'm still with the 20003 Firmware
but as Long we don't Need to wait too Long i think it is acceptable

You got that update while being on the leaked version of portico?
Is it just me, after the update, stopped the clock in HTC application on the tile?
