Hello,
Is there anyone who has this file? Or knows how to make a proper dump?
I think we need a REAL dump 100% working for TMO.
Thanks to all that help.

thank you MS_guru (forever in my good graces)
There are numerous differences b/t stock and the MS_Guru one and some of the bloatware being removed is the only positive one I can find. It has lots of problems. (i.e. market missing tons of apps, lots of problems w/ sync constantly running, media scanner running over and over, USB connction to pc is unreliable, ROM rebooting randomly,)
Huge, huge thanks to MS_Guru for getting this (it saved more than a few of us) but I agree with the need for a 100% working stock ROM.

I Think the guy is asking about shipped rom, the one the guru posted is pre-released, I know there is a difference because I got my phone shipped and there was no T-mobile sync and some software was different. I wouldn't mind getting Original "shipped" rom myself, I have some fc and loss of 3G with guru's image.

Exactly, I have some of these problems with the rom
Me too, I just want to Stock T-mobile Rom that the phones were shipped with. MS_guru one is the closes I can find but I do experience some issues such as missing Market apps and my Avatar movie not playing.
I having same issue, I bring back to T-mobile store and they exchange a new one for me.
Now I'm happy

We need the true flash. Not some hacked up stuff.
It has to be available on the inet? or creatable from our stock phones

Looking at the CSC files it looks like the release ROM is JFD that may help you track it down
From what i have heard about the rom posted here.
Its a pre-release rom. We need the real deal. I cannot believe no one on this forum doesnt know any TMO support guys. To get us a firmware.
It sucks that captivate users have access to a stock rom but we don't =/

That is the captivate firmware I don't think that will flash on or phones. Anyone have a nandroid backup of their phone using the newest stable clockwork mod recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I could make one, but I had already removed a ton of system apps before I flashed the recovery. SO Im not exactly stock. That said I never tired using the beta recovery, so Its all stock kernel, ROM, etc otherwise
Yours is going to be better than anything else we've got. Would you mind posting it?
Running now, Ill post when its completed
Theres no personal stuff backed up is there?

Don't go around screwing with something thats working fine! just install the "one click lag fix" thats on the market and wait for Froyo for Africa! TRUST ME , otherwise you will come here *****ing about lack of market/arabic/no download mode etc.. I bet that you will break your phone. Also download the root app from market too. Makes EVERYTHING easier

Oh boy.... Another one of these threads.
Short answer.... PICK one, they are all better than stock. There are so many roms out there that only YOU can judge what you want and need in a rom.
Everyone will have a different answer for you. For instance I say Firefly, but only because it works for me
You can't go wrong choosing any of them.

Anything other than JI6, that leaky rom is junk.

That is unanswerable every single phone is different, and people have widely different tastes. The trick is finding a rom that works best FOR YOU.

dude, youre takin this a little too seriously, im just lookin for a good suggestion to start with, and i know every phone is different, thats why i put what phone i have. thanks
LMAO........
The suggestions are to try them out yourself........
They are all better than stock........
You have to figure it out for yourself..........
And he meant that every Captivate is different.......If you did some more reading...you would know what he meant........
The "all in one place" is the first 3 pages of the dev section........http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706 any thread that starts with [ROM] is what your looking at
if you want a fast rom i would recommend the cyanogen mod 7.
people talk about how its unstable and has bad battery life
but its all wrong,,,
from my experience cm7 has been a stable like all the other roms but just faster..
It's the fastest you'll ever get right now and it has all different customization you can do.
so try it out.
Might want to try cm6 its outdated but fast and more reliable

ya, any file i put on the root of the phone gives me the same answer, whether its cwm or update.zip
You have 3E recovery.
The easiest way to get around it is to Flash the .tar version of speedmod with the full version of odin.
This only works on 2.2 If you need any more help. I will be around for a bit.

good answer! but if you are on 2.1 you can put the new rom on the sd card first and then flash speedmod. it wont boot into the rom but will give you recovery to flash the new rom.
yes, no need to root just odin flash speedmod then flash a rom.
if you want complete and reliable and well polished then flash andromeda, it's a bit older version of 2.2 but the work was great.
if you want super fast flash something that says js8, i hear the paragon rom has a great kernel. id say cm7 but maybe you should work up to that, it isn't hard but you need odin to flash back if you have problems, there aren't any 2.2 kernels or roms with the proper update script and binary to be flashed from the recovery that cm7 uses.

Nice. That makes sense that it will work.
OCLF (one click lagfix) use ext2. Titanium or some system app remover app to get rid of bloat and you should be good to go. At the end of the day different ROMs and such are for asthetics... no one has over 340 mg of Ram available so performance not much different from one to the next once lagfix installed. Until you OC/UV and that is tuff to maintain stability with.
Now we all know that there are no "Best Rom" threads but sense this one has changed course ill leave it open.
Each rom runs differently for each person. This is due to the many different ways we each use our phones. Once you get the hang of it, try out a few and find your favorite. Good luck on your quest.

Questions pertaining to specific roms should be asked in their thread. Most times you're not the only one that's had that problem and it's already been addressed. That translates into search and read.
Hi all,
I have Incredible S, all from the factory (software, Sense..etc)
I would like to know step by step how to :
1- Install a new ROM.
2- Having the news HTC Sense 3.5 on it and also if that have any negatives or if something might not work.
3- The latest ROM I can install.
4- Any additional info you think I should know as I am new to Android and HTC world.
Thank you,
Michel
The best bit of advice I can give you is search, search, search! All the info you need dude has already been asked and answered so hit that search button and spend a bit of time finding it out for yourself. Best place to start is the development forum where you can learn and download many different ROMs and find out which is the best one for you. Good luck...and welcome!
yep, you are right,
but sometimes when you are totally new to something you need some help at least with knowing the name of the best ROM as I've found many of them with different issues.

Go read the sticky threads in the Dev section. You have some work ahead of you before you can flash a custom Rom.
Yes, I went, and all is ready, my PC and my mobile,
the only thing I need is a ROM which doesn't have problems and won't effect my device plus a new version of Sense.

Ok, then nandroid backup and start flashing Roms then. Only you will be able to determine which Rom will fit your criteria. What you may think is a 'problem' on one Rom may not be that big of deal to someone else, so just start trying them yourself.
Problems like WiFi, Camera, SD Card, Backlight, Bluetooth.. all these are problems which I think might be issue for all users .
only a starting name would be enough to me

I would agree totally with all of those which is why I personally have not even tried any of the Sense 3.0 Roms. IMHO the current GB 2.3.3 Rom with Sense 2.1 runs just fine on my IncS so I won't be able to offer you any suggestions.
Revolution HD has no known issues download that and stop complaining. There is no "best ROM" try them all, the only thing you have to lose is bandwidth and time.
I use Newt pyramid beta 3 sense 3.0 gb 2.3.4 its stable, crazy fast, as current as you can get, and if you check the last of the comments almost all of the bugs have been fixed.

try a new radio...
I find the 20.2810 one has great signal
Is that a newer one than I have now? I received a 30mb update recently. Any negatives effects with it, battery life?
My current radio is 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03_M

yeah it's the newest. I think it works perfectly and has the best signal of all the radios I've tried
Right, I might have to look into that, just hopes it improves things for me.
I'm still considering returning the phone though due to the signal drop outs, I'm a bit reluctant to root or do anything that'll stop me from being able to return it. Can I take it that running an RUU will put everything back to stock, including radio and S Off?
Yes. If you root using AlpaharevX and not a permanent root using a gold card then flashing a stock RUU will bring you back to S-on. Give it a go, I did, happy so far and have the stock RUU downloaded and ready to go if need be.
I don't think I need a Gold Card with it being a sim free unit? So it should be just a case of following this guide http://is.gd/5wKZRZ and then flashing a different radio?
If I don't like the results then I should be able to run an RUU to get me back to stock?

Back up your current ROM just incase you f*ck up and get going flashing some ROMs I only flashed Android Revolution HD yesterday after asking the community a few questions and look forward to seeing how it goes, check out some of my posts for some of those questions if you want. If not happy will try something else and always have a carbon copy of my original stock ROM to restore if need be....simple
There's an issue witch XXLK2 software. Happens when i scroll a long list. After i touch scren for the 2nd time to scroll down faster image freezes. I heared that some roms are scroll bug free, but i don't know which and i woud like to know them
Or if somebody know other way how to fix this problem than flashing rom, please let me know

Could be because of high cpu or ram usage? and may I ask why you are still using GB?
Even I have noticed this issue when I was on GB... but this thing rarely happens to me on JB now...
No it's not cuz of cpu usage - it happens always, every single time, and it's not like lag. It just stop immediately like this:
youtube.com/watch?v=tXEglI1_XUw
and like that
youtube.com/watch?v=l86WHZ13ZXM
But i heared that while using some other roms than XXLK2 there is no such issue. Just don't want to check one by one to find it out - it would be tiring :silly: and i could bric my phone by mistake
I use GB because of huge lag that exsist in JB while opening contacts, dailer, messages JB has new funcionalities, and is more beautifull but somehow i just like GB. Maybe later i became conviced to Jelly Bean
PS. Sorry that i didnt use YOUTUBE marks but i can't.

Whoa thats something I never experienced!
I mean of me it lagged while scrolling through Music/Videos/Image files after I cleaned Cache ~ as the OS was busy rebuilding the Cache again as I was scrolling... but this isn't the problem I had on GB!
Have you tried Completely cleaning your Cache and Dalvik? Have you tried a complete Factory Reset? If no please make a Complete backup of all your files/apps and do that.... and yes you have to be Rooted for all this
I did factory reset and wipe. This two didn't make any difference. (and for factory reset and wipe i don't need root ).
But I don't know what dalvik is (read that it's rome kind of virtual machine and " It is the software that runs the apps on Android devices" - Wikipedia) and how to clean it (so I believe that there the root is needed ).
Could you tell me what gives cleaning the dalvik ?
Oh so aren't you rooted? You need to install a custom kernel with TWRP recovery on it.. Then Wipe the cache and dalvik cache there....
And have you tried using another GB firmware? Maybe the one you are using right now has this issue... When I was using GB, I did not have this issue...
Sent from my phone, because I'm away from my PC right now
I was on xxlk2 also before and had that problem after the last update. I guess it's the firmware problem. You can try dxlk2 for gb. My friend was using that and no lags or problem at all.

You can use firmwares from other region with no problem provided that you're not tied to any providers. I'm from dxlk2 region but I was using xxlk2 with no problem.
If my memory serves me correctly SGSA had that problem on some GB firmware way back, after some update.
P.S. Yeah, here it is: link. And it was the same FW you are using. Good old search option of XDA forum (or any other forum )
