[Q] [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root added - Infuse 4G - Arabic Support

[Q] [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root added - Infuse 4G - Arabic Support
[ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root added - Infuse 4G
I applied the above ROM to my AT&T. So far, all is working well from what I have tested: WIFI, BlueTooth, Phone and GPS. It seems to be very stabel compare to other ROMs I applied in the past.
My delimma is that I correspond in 4 different languages and arabic is one of them. When I applied the Hebrew Arabic Patch I am able to see the arabic letters connected. However when I attempt to write any arabic text, it is all disconnected.
I could not post to the forum where I found the ROM since I am new to the XDA forum. But I believe the answer to this question may help others.
Can anyone please provide me a patch to this ROM so it can allow me to write connected arabic letters? If such a pacth exists, can you please point me to it?
Thx for any help!!!

Some of the Arabic keyboards available on the Android market have settings to connect the letters. Here is a link to one that defaults to having letters disconnected, but it offers a setting to connect them.:

Thanks jscott30!

Hi Ishedra/ jscott30,
I currently have a Samsung Infuse 4G with the GB 2.3.6 update. I am really only interested in rooting and getting Arabic RTL support.
You mentioned using the ROM [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root.
My questions are:
Which of the options did you go with because there are 4 of them? Or does it not matter which one?
Where do you obtain a Hebrew Arabic patch that works with this ROM. It seems Arabic support is only available in certain custom ROMs. I tried searching for a general patch that works on all rooted 2.3.6 Gingerbread but couldn't find any.
Thanks in advance!

Hi dashrendar,
Here is a link to the patch that Ishedra most likely used. It should work with any rooted UCLB3 base or rom w/ CWM recovery. If you opt for one of the options from my Odin to rooted UCLB3 thread, it sounds like you would most be interested in Option D.
Arabic patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467808
Arabic keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5pYnJhaGltLmtleWJvYXJkIl0
Let us know if this works, as I've not tried it myself since English is my only language.

Thanks a lot jscott30.
The Infuse is actually my wife's. I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII with stock ROM (2.3.6 GB).
I wanted to make sure that I can do the same patch on my wife's phone so that she is not left out.
I will definitely be following the steps you provided, but I wanted to test on my phone first. Do you recommend a similar ROM for the SGSII similar to what you did for the Infuse--basically, rooted stock software with CWM (to support the RTL patch). The goal is to be as close to stock as possible (can't afford to lose any functionality but I do welcome the ability to uninstall bloatware).
Thanks again!

Glad to help! And I haven't been around the SGSII forums to be able to suggest something similar, but I'm positive that they have similar rooted stock roms. At very least, over there they can show you how to root your phone and install CWM recovery.

Hi jscott30,
Thanks again.
I am in a bit of a dilemma. I stayed up until 4:30 AM this morning trying to resolve an issue I ran into. Sorry, I tried to post in the original thread for the stock image, but because I don't have enough posts I wasn't allowed to.
Anyway, I went with option D as you suggested. I performed the data/cache wipe in step 4 to avoid the potential boot issue. Everything else went okay.
However, after installing a bunch of applications and freezing a couple, the Phone application kept crashing. Basically, when I click on it, the screen stalls for a couple of seconds, the screen turns black with a quick all-screen white flash, then black again. Then after a couple of seconds, I see the pattern screen lock. Then I can go in again. That happened every time I clicked the Phone icon.
I performed the flash again the same way. It went fine. The first thing I checked was the Phone app, and it was working okay. However, now every time I turn on Wi-Fi or mobile network connectivity, the same crash keeps happening periodically every 10-20 seconds, which makes the phone unusable. :crying: I initially thought it was the external SD card, but I took it out and the same symptom persisted. I turned both network connections off for now and no crashes are happening.
Do you have any ideas? I thought I would post this first before I start scouring the forums in case you had any ideas.
Thanks!

I can't reproduce those issues here, so it's hard to say. Try a software factory reset by going to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset. That may clear what is causing your issue. That package has been downloaded over 2000 times, though, and this is the first I've heard of this issue. Makes me think that something is left from a prior install. Also, do you have this issue before the Arabic patch?

Hi jscott30,
I have done the reset as you described and it goes into a loop when it boots. I tried flashing again and this time I wanted to keep track of the order of things. I mean last night I was able to download and install a bunch of apps using WiFi without problems. I think after which I installed the Arabic patch and the crash started happening.
I flashed again about 30 minutes ago following your steps to the word. After that I did the the following:
- Skipped the Setup Wizard;
- Enabled WiFi;
- Launched the browser to ensure data is being transmitted;
- I added my wife's Google Account to make sure it's not a synch issue;
- I asked her to check her GMail on both WiFi and mobile connectivity;
It seems like it's working normally so far. I will try to apply the Arabic patch to see if it's the culprit (which would be disappointing to see it affecting Wifi/Mobile Data).
By the way, I noticed that Al Hosny instructed installing something called Aries. What is that? And do I need this as well prior to the patch?
If the patch is indeed the problem? Could it be an incompatibility with this version of the CWM kernel? (Sorry for any noob questions).
Anyway, thanks for the quick response and I'll keep you updated as to what happens.

If the patch suggested ends up being culprit, I'd PM Ishedra to ask how to apply an Arabic patch. It was a guess on my part that he used the one patch, as I've not used it before. Unfortunately, English is my only fluent language.

When you were installing the app and the OS started crashing, were you trying to install apps that you had backed up previously?
Some times, certain apps restore or apps/data restore from the older OS will cause crash on the newer OS.
When this happens, I would suggest downloading the app new from your source and do not restore them from backed up source.
Not every app/data does this...but if you ran into problems, start new.

Hi qkster,
I was actually downloading and installing those apps from the market. I only backed up/restored their relevant data/settings.
I have some good news though. Before I loaded this Arabic Patch I started looking for another one. I tried and settled on this method whose source steps are in this blog. I see the Arabic text fine, the letters were all connected in GMail, Whatsapp and Facebook. I haven't tried the keyboard because my wife showed no interest.
I apologize for not trying out the previous Arabic patch in order to confirm its functionality. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time--with my wife waiting and depending on her phone and my baby daughter wanting to play with me, it's hard to find the time.
I installed the rest of the apps for my wife and everything is working solid so far.
This is good practice for when I need to do the same steps on my brother's and dad's phones. I believe my phone will be getting ICS soon (which should have built-in Arabic language support), so we'll see.
Thanks again for the great ROM and advice guys. :good:

I can confirm it works. I unlocked my phone under the previous stock ROM for use on Wind, and it remained unlocked through the upgrade. I didn't need to unlock it again.

awesome, i'll wait for the tethering fix then

I have the stock ROM, and have just applied the update to my phone. Anyone know what the flashing red box around the screen is for?

I've been using the new JB ROM for a few hours now and have found a quirk or two.
When manually adjusting the brightness, sometimes the screen takes on a blue tint. Like, things that should be a dark blue become much brighter. This goes away if I tweak the brightness back and forth a few times.
I rooted the ROM using the CWM+flashable root file from previous ROMs. It worked, though last night I kept getting "radio is requesting superuser access" until I restarted the phone. I don't know what that was about. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
The compass is STILL misconfigured. Every time you boot the phone, it needs to be recalibrated before it has any idea which way is up or north.

No idea what you mean. Got a picture?
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------
Okay, so we may have something a little deeper here. Today I'm seeing the "radio is requesting Superuser permissions" dialog again and again. I'm unsure what this means, but as a wild-ass guess, it may be the ROM checking to see if the phone has been rooted. This could be bad for people out there who still have their warranties.

I can't seem to get a screen shot, but it's like what you'd expect the hard drive LED to do when accessing data. I've looked up different "solutions" through Google, and it seems to be a developer's mode attribute, but I turned it off. One person says to uncheck the strict mode setting, which hasn't worked.

Well, whatever it was, it's done doing its thing now. As the day went on, the red flashing border appeared with less frequency. Throughout this morning I didn't experience it at all. Maybe it was some type of optimization thing going on?

Tethering
So Jax184 are you tethering on the JB ROM on Wind somehow or are you waiting for the tethering fix like Braccoz? I am on Wind as well and want to keep running the JB ROM but need to be able to tether on pretty much a constant basis.

Thanks - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something - guess that means I'm going back down to LJ1 until we get tethering!
---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------
Now I'm in trouble - I got distracted while trying to go back to LJ1 and ended up applying the LJ1 tethering fix to the JB ROM. Phone rebooted and got stuck on the screen with SAMSUNG with the pulsating blue background and just wouldn't go further. Got back in through ODIN and flashed back down to the LJ1 ROM but again when the phone reboots it is still stuck on the same screen. Did I just brick it? Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can get back up and running on *ANY* ROM?

Alright so it turns out that I didn't screw it up - the problem is that I just can't seem to downgrade. If I clear the cache in recovery and then flash the BMC5 (ie JB) image the phone will come back up running 4.1.2. However when I clear the cache and flash any other image (LJ1, LH1, etc) the phone just gets stuck on the SAMSUNG screen (and I've left it sit there for as long as 10 minutes to make sure it isn't actually doing anything).
The only reason to downgrade though for me is that I need to tether. Hence faced with this problem I started going through all the Wifi Tether apps (that I tried before the tethering patch was out for the previous versions and none worked) and discovered the FoxFi works. It seems to override the T-Mobile tethering restriction in that when it is active the normal Mobile Hotspot icon appears (as well as the FoxFi icon) in the notification bar and when you pull it up it shows as On with the devices connected listed. Using FoxFi isn't as elegant as just using the built-in software hence I'll hobble along with the new image and FoxFi but still hopes that someone is kind enough and smart enough to figure out a tethering fix for this image.
Anyone got any comments or suggestions?

Does anyone have the OTA update from TMO? I was going to make a flashable stock jelly bean rom, and the updater script is useful.
If you received the update and didn't apply it, it should be in the cache partition. PM me if you need help pulling it out.

You need to wipe everything, data, system, cache in order to downgrade from JB to ICS. Also wifi is likely to be broken due to the new JB over writing the persist partition. Someone who is still on ICS and who is rooted should probably keep a copy of that.

I'm having some gps issues and radio is requesting superuser access. This is on rooted,debloated jb with the jb radio.
Let me know if you need logs, data, or want me to flash something.

JB downgrade to ICS + GPS
Thanks for the info Nardholio! I guess that means I'm staying at JB then. Overall I'm happy with it and having no problems perse. However to address your specific comment about GPS, although I haven't had any issues with it I have noticed that it has taken up to 5 minutes to fully sync and get a position lock now. I hadn't attributed that to the upgrade necessarily though as this happens from time to time as being way up here in Calgary Alberta sometimes satellites aren't as easily visible as they could be and this happens occassionally with all of my GPS receivers. My old G2 used to have quite a lot of problems that way. Haven't noticed anything about root requests though as Gee One indicated.

[Q] Flashing to stock - phone force closes process com.android.phone, help

Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.

Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.

I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Which one are you flashing?
Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.

[Q] Getting QPST to work with broken stock FW

While it's related to my other topic, I figured this is an entirely different problem and warrants a new one...
Basically I tried to check things out with QPST, to see if the previous owner of my Photon Q messed something up in there ad broke the wifi that way.
The problem is, that I have no clue how to enable the diag port on my phone.
As in... I'm aware of the menu accessible through ##3424#, but that only works on stock firmware and well, to quote my other topic:
I bought an almost new and (supposedly) bricked Photon Q off of ebay, to be modded by CornholioGSM, and I'm having some issues.
First of all, of course it wasn't really bricked, yet I don't know what the previous owner did to it.
It's supposedly a Sprint one, but when I fastboot-flash the official Sprint fw to it, it locks up at the end of the boot animation on 4.0.4.
With the latest official Sprint 4.1.2 sbf, it boots up, but during the initial setup keeps going "OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped" and "process com.android.phone has stopped"
I tried the CSpire 4.1.2 and it boots up with that, but MEID and everything is 0
If I flash CM10 (no difference if I choose the stable 10.1 or the nightly 10.2) over the 4.1.2 Sprint one it seems to work, but the problem is that I don't have wifi on either fw. The wifi button is greyed out and there's no MAC. (MEID and stuff is visible with CM10)

So yeah... any idea how to even enable the diag port, if I can't even get to the dialer in stock fw?

NO GSM after CM10.2 Flash

Hi,
i tried to flash cm 10.2 on my photon Q today.
I had the latest official rom working for half a year but i was missing some features i couldnt get with stock.
Anyway its a simcard modded unit i use in germany i was running stock jellybean (rooted, motochopper method) until today.
First i unlocked the boatloader, flashed latest open recovery and then flashed CM10.2 latest nightly (GSM) + gapps, after that i did a factory reset with open recovery.
After i configured the new firmware i noticed that i had no gsm, it didnt even ask for the pin of my locked card. I tried to switch from CDMA to GSM but with no effect. I also tried several reboots but i couldnt change the mobile network or get gsm to work.
I then tried to flash the latest cm snapshot but it doesnt work as well, the only difference is that the phone service always crashes when i try to change the network method.
Doesn anyone else have a idea? The thing is currently useless to me...
Thanks in advance.

Also this talks about GSM Data problem, i cant even do phonecalls/sms, its not even asking for my sim code..
I then tried to flash back to stock but now RSD Lite 6.1.5 wont show my device... (all drivers installed).
Im really getting frustrated.
EDIT:
ok tried another PC with Win7 (mine runs 8.1) and now RSD Lite seems to work
Update: Now back to stock... GSM Works fine after i activated it... i now try to reflash cm10.2 and see what happens

Ok its working now
everything out of the box...
i dont know what went wrong the first time cause i did exactly the same as far as i know...

Indeed this line was likely the relevant one
If missing just add it.
