Hi guys
I live in south Africa and just bought a htc dream.
I was very excited when i got my phone could not wait to get home and start to play with it
but i noticed that the market app is not there???
and it is only running android 1.1
I did some research on the web and found out that its up to our service provider
to relies the updates.
MTN my service provider is not interested in reliesing the 1.5 upgrade
what can i do to upgrade my phone because at the moment i am stuck with a second rate phone.

thanx but i am scared i loose my warranty i just spoke to the HTC agents in South Africa they are called leaf.
They said they are busy working on a upgrade to 1.5
Thank you for all your help
This should be in the Q&A forum, not the dev forum.
Just flash the update. If anything happens to your phone and you need to use the warrant. Just re-flash RC29 and do nothing from there. It should reset your phone to a point that they cannot tell that you've modded your phone. Have fun.

You say that like it's a bad thing. It's not. Its good.
Hmmm I have downloaded the new update and tried it twice. It was running for an hour so I pressed the power button and then says unable to initiate... I am doing something wrong or is there something else I need to do. I have had a different rom on this phone but reset phone to vodafone standard... Hopefully someone will be able to reply with me being blasted of the site for being a newbie who can not read. However, I have searched long and hard for an answer to this and have yet to find one!
Cheers

I don't understand...your phone doesn't boot?
Hello
I hope i have posted in the right section and someone can explain too me if this is right or wrong.
I just downloaded the 2.0 version of samsung kies software,when i plugged my phone in it said i could do a firmware upgrade for my phone.
So of course i did so,i first done the backup which was an option in the process.Then pressed ok and it started doing its thing.
Well i left it and came back too see a green android guy on the phone and a message on laptop saying the update had failed and i need too recover the fail by going into emergency firmware recovery mode.
I did this(pressed yes) and it started doing its thing again and rebooted the phone,after it had done it said too disconnect and reconnect my usb cable which i did and the phone was back running again.
The question i have is what basically just happened?
I presume it was a fail on the firmware update since thats what it told me but on checking my stats it had done what it said it was going too and thats upgrade from CSC: JP5 to CSC: JP6.
So it said it failed but on the samsung kies software it now says the csc JP6 and i cant update any firther.
Im sorry i should maybe of checked the code better too be honest i didnt check the full version upgrade, i just thought ok firmware upgrade yup ill do that and flicked through the yes options til the upgrade started.
Thanks for any replies.I have a untouched samsung galaxy S by the way,i not done anything too it except installed apps and games.So no roms,no lag fix,no hacks at all.
Its been a coupleof days now since my post so hope its ok too comment in it again so maybe i can get some help.
Im not sure if my first post explained itself enough so if anyone has any questions i will be happy too answer them.I dont know if my phone will be affected long term but the fail or not.
Csc..what is this why had the software felt it needed too be changed from 5 to 6 ?
the fact it said it failed yet on checking i cannot update again and it has in fact changed from 5 to 6 as it said it would.All my added shortcuts on home screens went but the files stayed.
csc....has anyone also got the changed firmware like i have and gone through the failure too get it.
Im trying too add my own questions in the hope someone has some answers since i see many questions get answered in this section within no time,but mine seems too of stumped some.
thanks for replies guys it will settle my mind and i will of course try too find my own answers and if all else fails i will contact samsung and ask them what went wrong.
Hi,
I installed Kies today and connected my girlfriends cellphone, a Samsung Champ Duos (don't know if it's a phone only for the Philippino market)... Same here, started up first time and Kies prompted me to update the phone's firmware. I followed the steps, something went wrong and I was told to perform an emergency recovery.
I tried, but after 63% an error message appear telling me that something went wrong and "if the problem persists please contact support centre".
I've tried the recovery process maybe 20 times now and same every time. I have already sent an email to the support, but hoping someone here knows how to fix this in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure Kies can be unreliable...
Have you tried another computer?
Try the recovery again but hold the usb cable in place, it may have a loose connection
Either way support should answer you shortly and they will sort it out, as it should be under warranty and kies messed it up. They will probably tell you to find your nearest service centre...
@Caz2k11 if you ever read this again and still haven't got your answer, it shouldn't have affected you that there was a problem installing in the first place.
CSC - there is a sticky on the the general section that describes most of this stuff but in brief i think its either country specific code or country service code, something like that. Really its only important if you have problems downloading things from the market, or reception/data related issues. Usually carrier related... Its worth checking you have the correct one when you update as it saves you from changing it later which results in a factory reset.
Ahh damn it...
Got a reply from their support this morning. They apologized and told me I have to send the phone to my nearest service centre. Great for me living in the province and I'll bet the closest service centre is located in Manila....
Does anyone know if the *original rom* is available somewhere on the internet?
Most of us do not use kies to update
You can fiind the latest original ROMs at samfirmware.com

Hehe no ****
I'm running Andriod on my HTC Leo as well, but this is my girlsfriends phone, still warranty so I'll be a bit careful at the moment.
Have registered on the site mentioned above, not sure which file I'm going to use or anything, since I cannot start the phone to see the current firmware etc. The model no. is GT-E2652W and "SSN" is "E2652WGSMH", does that mean it's a E-series phone?
It means a few things ...
First of all, you are totaly at the wrong place since this forum section is for Samsung Galaxy S, and you Champ Duo , well, isn't a Galaxy S !
Second thing is that this forum, as well as samfirmware, deal mostly with Android phones, which your isn't, I believe. It does somehow look like, but isn't.
Sorry I can't help more

Yes, I'm awared of that. Found this thread when I Google-searched "samsung emergency recovery".
Sure, no arm done, it's just that non android phone have a different way to recover. I did a couple of googling too, but must admit I did not find a great deal of information either,
Sorry and best of luck for bringing your device back to happiness.

htc hd7 7.0.7392.0 update version no unlock help

my problem does not unlock after updating version 7.0.7392.0

good luck

ok lets seee, i have had the phone for very little so ill try to use my little skills i know to help out
well connect it to the zune software, and there should be, on the update inside settings for the phone, a "restore" button for the previous that you had before. i have not done this but im sure it works to downgrade it to what it was before.
from there just unlock it again if it needs it (im not sure if the restore point saves that as well). and search around in the forum or try this one and follow steps carefully for the registry edit which will keep the phone unlocked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974
then after that and you have everything good to go, try again to update and it should work and still be unlocked
i did the step before the new update was here so im sure it works
good luck, sorry if its too much reading or anything, its just the way things are and if you really want it. you'll do fine as long as you follow it well
htc hd7 7.0.7392.0 update version not unlock
Friends for 2 weeks but still could not unlock the 7004 or 7008, respectively, what should I do after downloading and installing the rum you give link where can I download a simple and clear explanation of what should I do please help
What to do!!
Here by i request you my friends,im very new for Xda..
I just had updated my hd7 to 7.0.7392.0 yesterday..i need to unlock my phone. anyone please help me in a step by step way,how to downgrade,so that i can unlock my phone easily please..
thanks in advance for the helping hand..
just go here, this works and its perfectly well informed with instructions..
i tried explaining it a more faster way.. but oh well not everyone gets it in a short version.
here before you go and and follow instructions from the link... to downgrade just go and connect your device to your computer and run zune. when your phone finishes syncing go to your phones settings in zune (not settings on the phone). then look for where you check for updates for you phone, click on that. then a button should appear, where the info is shown of that; it says "restore" click it and restore it to a previous version which is 7004 or 7008 then when that is done.
go here and read some more!
follow those instructions to the dot and then after that enjoy your unlocked phone and update all the way back to 7392
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974
you probably don't need to go past step 2 since they allready pushed out NODO and the 7392 update with the security patch.
that should do it. thats the way i did it, and should work for you if you follow all the instructions.
not restoring
friend thnx for the reply.. but its getting back to 7.0.7390 not 7004 or 7008!!!
what to do?
weird... what version of the OS did you have before that? did it come with 7392 when you got your phone?
that would explain that problem... since it didn't have the restore point of previous version on your computer to back up.
the only other way from that is to flash it i guess...
i haven't flashed the HD7 yet but i used to do it alot back when i used my HTC touch diamond.
im pretty sure you can search on the forums for a stock ROM for your phone in that case and flash it with whatever ROM for the provider you have.
the search is your best bet to find it.
sorry i can't help with the flashing or anything but im sure the forums will help if you do a little searching
after that, just follow what i said and you should be good to go.
i know it seems like alot to do... but you won't regret it for what you get in the end. custom ringtones, tweaks and homebrew apps
good luck
thnks
thnks tom..
no it wsnt came with 7392.. it was with version 7004 or 7008. i dont know perfectly.. but im sure it was not 7390 or 7392..
i dint knw much more about xda at that time, accidently i enterd the xda wen i ws searching 'hw to port android to my cell'.. & i saw all the threads one by one..thus i came to knw we can unlock our phone & can be install apps to my phone.
bt wen i bought my phone it dint hv cut copy update,& i done it via zune..& then 7392 day before yesterday!!
ok ill try other way wt u said,will loose warranty in doing that?
for flashing a ROM no.. just make sure you get the one for your phone and the one for your company (carrier) to make sure everything is back to zero.. (the way you had it when it came brand new in the box)
and i can't stress it enough.. read... read... and then before doing anything to your phone.. read again.. and for the love of everything.. read while your doing it for safety precautions.. we all don't want you to go and brick your phone because of something you missed.. (and when i say read.. i mean instructions and all the info you need)
because nobody wants an expensive brick on their hands.
sorry if i act paranoid.. i just hate when that happens to someone that doesn't pay attention or tries to do it the "easy" "fast" way and thinks they can do it when they don't
Good Luck!

This morning I made an update via LG Pc Suite. The update was a large one but could not "see" what it was. My phone is rooted. After the update was finished I have lost root rights, lost the nvidia app, all pre installed games, I have rooted the phone again, tried to install rom manager and restore a back up made a week ago but also not working. The phone kept giving a failure notice when trying to run Titanium back up. I eventually did manage to manually install the last back up from recovery, but now phone is stauck on LG boot screen. Any help please. I think the only difference after the update this morning was the V10d instead of the V10c. thank you for your help.

I wouldnt have left you like that.
Well the solution was found here: http://www.usp-forum.de/lg-p990-opt...-lg-p990-optimus-speed-flashen-anleitung.html
Its in german but basically it says no more than things which are common sence to all devs but for a guy like me its like rocket sience. Its the smartflash procedure with a german rom.
The bad thing is that I have lost at least 6 hours of my life only to found this tiny little program that does wonders. Anyway I am really pissed off with LG because the rolled out an update (be careful out there with LG PC suite) which basically messed up my phone.
Cheers.
Well, 2 my experiments with official LG update ended up with "bricked" phone where only SmartFlash helped. I strongly discourage anyone from using it
This morning i tried searching for a new phone software update via LG PC suite and I got the notification that there is an update for the phone. Undortunately I cannot "see" what the hell this update is for. As I mentioned on the first post above, this is a rather large update. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a LGE Version (V10d)?

I have called LG customer service to ask them what this update is.. "If your phone is working properly you should not do the update" he said to me.... Sorry? Why do you release an update then?? "This is made automatically, the phone always finds updates"... so why didnt it find last week? "Well this may be a problem with your PC" What???? are you crazy? So you are telling me that when the 2.3 rolls out I shall not do the update becaue my phone works fine? "Yes Sir". I want to know what this update is... "This is the call centre sir, we do not know"...
Well If there is one reason to change the phone it would only be because of the customer service and their unreliability...
Customer service is everywhere the same,at least they picked up your phone
And yes, they dont have these informations usually, and getting them when responsible project does not issue any changelist is problematic. Its more like project management
issue , which should not be big suprise considering all the troubles...

I give up. I have called US (live chat). No help there. LG Swiss gave me their service centre office (another company).... nothing..
Well it must be a ghost update chasing me around.... hmmm root and ROM is the solution.
This morning I got an update message from the LG Updater that there is an update to download. This time it shows that the the New Version is V10D.. I am running on V10C.
Can anyone tell me please:
a) Should i update or not? The phone is rooted running stock rom
b) Does the "D" version imrpove something?
thank you
First off, thanks for the link..really appreaciate it. It work..my limping super soft brick 2x now can breathe again. Those german forum was not bad..a step by step instruction was given for newbie like me.
Owh btw, i say..no need to change to 10D as it is for german vodafone branded firmware while 10C for open firmware, that what it said in the link you gave us above.
Newbie on the block.
So I was retarded and followed the instructions (or started to) on androidadvices dot com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-stable-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware
My Tablet will not boot past the T-Mobile logo.......... they are being assholes and telling me i need to deal with samsung ......... who told me it would be 6-8 weeks for a replacement........ is there ANYONE out there that can help me with just resetting it???
If you can get to the T_Mobile logo, you probably have a working bootloader and that mean you just need to flash the correct firmware for you device.
In short words, go to samfirmware.com and download the right firmware for your tablet model.
Once you have the firmware, flash them to your tablet with 'odin' (flash software, that you can also get in the mentioned website).
This should solve the problem.
If this works I will love you.
So i am obviously more retarded than I thought pedrohfsd ........ I have an SGH-T849 and i cannot FIND the firmware on that site..... seriously? UGH
pm me i'll tell you what to do , with th stock firmware for Tmobile , i helped someone before 2days he had same tab with you ) and same problem

You sir, are brilliant.
I wasn't able to locate the firmware on the samfirmware.com but I DID find it on XDA from another user. Put phone into download mode... waited till the little box in Odin turned yellow and loaded that badboy on there. After about 5 minutes it was back into the 2.2 OS again. The only problem that I had was with programs that had been installed before and loaded at boot (Just had to uninstall / reinstall) But for the most part its back to the way it was.
Thanks so much for your help!
You too Kosh, as I am sure you were going to walk me through exactly what I fumbled through on my own (I'm lucky I didn't blow anything up haha)
NO more attempts to get 2.3 on this badboy!
Thanks again all <3
I'm glad to hear that KalKainen, the first time i soft bricked my phone i got desperate too.
But after some weeks i saw the inumerous progressions that people develop in custom roms here in xda, and flashed the whole thing again =P.

Amen man..... desprate is about right.. haha... now if i could only figure out why i have to CONSTANTLY reboot it in order to restore network service (Even though I have 3g and full bars... no text messages send / come in and programs that use data error out... ) I would be happy. This has been happening for the last 4 months badly enough that I can have to reset it 10 times in a 2 hour period >.< I cant even put it into flight mode.... but after I TRY putting it into flight mode and then reboot it... it comes BACK in flight mode.... I hoped the reinstall of the firmware would fix it.. but alas..... still plagued. AT LEAST IT WORKS THOUGH!!
