Flash HK bug fixes to Telus Milestone?

I hear that an update to the HK firmware resolves issues such as stale cell tower ID, music when unplugging the headset jack, alarm clock and such.
Are these fixes concentrated solely in one module of the firmware? (e.g. kernel)
And if so, would it be possible to flash those fixes to a Telus Milestone without losing 3G?
If someone has the knowhow to pack just that module into an SBF file I'd be willing to test it. Or alternately, if someone could create a nandroid backup that contains only that module (e.g. use switches to disable backup of all other modules) perhaps it'd be possible to restore that over top of what I have.

Heh, well I got impatient and figured out how to do this myself with SBF Depacker. Didn't work - it hangs on the M boot screen. It is reported here: http://android.doshaska.net/alarmfix that the HK SHOLS_U2_02.34.3 kernel is "not compatible with the 2.31/2.34.0 system or BPSW". Well I can say now that it's also not compatible with Telus SHOLS_U2_03.10.0.
Like any good tweaker, of course, I took a full nandroid backup prior to attempting this hack! And restored it successfully after. Of course flashing the HK firmware directly would make me lose 3G so I wouldn't want to try that.

Flash .sbf with RSDlite. It works pretty well for me (rooted). Live wallpapers are sensible at touch. Only battery drains before

I did use RSDLite to try and flash the kernel-only SBF and that is what failed. I already have the Telus 2.1 firmware with live wallpapers and so forth.
Again, I am not willing to flash the Hong Kong SBF (900/2100) to my Telus Milestone (850/1900/2100) because it will cause me to lose 3G. I was hoping to find a way to import the fixes while keeping the North American 3G.

It's not true, i'm always on 3g (i've blocked on that net with *#*#4636#*#* and "wcdma only"). I have H3G with some options that requires UMTS, so...what you say is not exact.

HTCDevil: If I am reading correctly that you're in Italy, you'll be able to get 3G on any firmware (including HK) because they all support UMTS 2100. That frequency does not exist in Canada. I need the firmware to support UMTS 850/1900. Thus my original question still stands.

I've also tried to make an SBF file, stuck on the M logo as well.
I wouldn't mind using the HK SBF, but I need Arabic support :/

I suppose I should edit my profile then. But I figured that "Telus" in the thread title would have given you a hint, as well as mentioning North American frequencies.

cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init

wow interesting, never knew that was possible!
Group of Ten reports the Thai version is coming soon and then Telus; so maybe I'll just wait it out.

has anyone tested this?
so basically you can flash any region sbf and copy these files back to retain baseband?

I tested it on the Motosense firmware and found I could connect to 3G again for voice. Data still didn't work though.
But in any case, the bug fixes can be found in the GOT leaked Thai firmware. Same 3G. I flashed it and it's much less buggy than Telus.
I hear rumours that a Telus update came for these bugs or is coming soon, but I'm sticking with this for now cause it works

You can fash GOT's Thai version, they use the same bands that we do. I've been running for 2 days, no missing features.

[Q] No signal on CyanogenMod 7 RC3 0.08-11.03.27

After updated to this rom my phone is unable to search any signal on Rogers, it happens when i flash one of the Froyo rom. I fixed it by replacing ro.product.brand=MOTO_RTEU with ro.product.brand=MOTO_RTCA in /system/build.prop. However this method won't work in this case, I also tried to apply the Canada baseband from OR and apply over the Cyanogen file.any help
Edit: problem solved,just realized i bought my phone from Hong Kong so it should using a different baseband.

Do you have a Telus phone? All i need to do is flash the Telus baseband from Androidiani Openrecovery. Works every time...i never needed to edit anything in the build.prop.

I believe that, if it is not too much trouble, you could get a nandroid backup of the Froyo Tellus Baseband, but Androidiani Basebands work fine as well, although not the latest ones.

VZW EC02 Files

I've looked at a guide on gizmoninja to take a VZW Tab to stock DJ11, then allow the new EC02 update to run, and then flash the Heimdall files for EC02. My question is why let the update run and then flash the EC02 files? Why not just flash the EC02 files? Is it because those Heimdall files are already rooted, is that the difference? I'd like to get to the EC02 update so I can use the Bluetooth capabilities. Or would a different/custom ROM be better?
As a background, my Tab was originally branded for US Cellular that I flashed to stock VZW DJ11. I then did a manual root. I haven't been able to get the update to run and I've flashed 2 different "stock" files.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

hmm, I have a rooted version of DJ11 installed presently, and I have no problem with Bluetooth transfers. As such, I don't think that you need EC02 in order to use it, unless I am missing something. Originally, I did install EC02 via the update, and was able to root it through superoneclick. I decided to revert back to DJ11 for the time being though, as I had installed a custom kernal and it was causing me to have a lot of force close issues.
As for rooting EC02, a lot of people have reported issues. There was some kind of bootloader change in that update that screwed things up. Perhaps that is why the guide suggests installing the update and then flashing a rooted rom.

I soft bricked my vzw tab yesterday. I was on ec02, but didn't know that the rotation fix file had to be unzipped. Did it twice, third time I just used the ec02 and flashed the new kernel after. Unzipped the fix this time! Haven't had a problem yet. Seems way more responsive. Since ec02 has all the files needed there is no reason to go backwards, it works without doing the dj11 steps.

Thanks!
Thanks for the input. I guess I'll take the plunge and just flash the EC02 files and see what happens....? I'll report back. BTW, Hammer, where is the rotation fix file that you mentioned? I hadn't seen any mention about a fix. Or maybe I just missed it in my quick glances!

I have a uscc tab flashed with the verizon stock rom, and the ec02 update errors at about %30. I think its because the baseband is still at dj29. I think I still have the uscc modem still loaded, because the verizon stock restore tut I followed did not have me flash a modem file. I could use either the verizon moden file and try to flash that, or if anyone has the files to restore ec02 to flash straight over. Can someone on a verizon tab tell me what their baseband is along with the corresponding build id?

Got it to work!
I finally took the plunge and just flashed the rooted EC02 files from gizmoninja and it worked perfectly! The Tab rebooted normally and I was on EC02. All my programs were still there and I was still rooted. I didn't have any issue with the screen reorienting when I turned it and it seems faster. I was also able to pair and use my "old" ThinkOutside/iGo folding bluetooth keyboard!
Here is the progression of device data:
Original:
Model SCH i800 NSU
Hardware version SCH-800.0.3
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband ver S:I800.0.3K.DJ29
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build SCH-I800.DJ29
After flashing to stock DJ11 from tutorials here at XDA and rooting via a combination of SuperOneClick and manually via ADB:
Model SCH i800
Hardware version SCH-I800.0.3
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband ver S:I800.0.3K.DJ29
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
Build SCH-I800.DJ11
After flashing the rooted EC02 files from gizmoninja:
Model SCH-i800
Hardware version SCH-I800.0.3
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband ver S:I800.0.3K.DJ29
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
Build SCH-I800.EC02
As I said in the OP, I started with a Tab branded for US Cellular and now I have a Tab that looks just like a VZW one! BTW, I use my Tab WiFi only; no data plan or cellular to worry about.
Hope this helps!

[Q] [i9000] restoring to Stock - but which ROM?

Hi All,
I have a Galaxy S I9000 that I purchased from Optus (Australia) that I have been flashing with different ROMs quite happily. Unfortunately in my excitement I did not take note of the original versions.
I had a nightly build of CM7 on it but now that Samsung Australia have released Gingerbread I wanted to do a stock upgrade (with Kies) to try it out.
So I reverted to a stock 2.2 I got from the ezRom guide (can't post the link)
BUT, kies says that it is not updateable.
So then I tried to revert to a ROM that is supposedly an Optus one. I have flashed it to (According to KIES):
PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4 (NEE)
Or from the phone:
PDA: I9000DTJP5
PHONE: I9000DTJP3
CSC: I9000XSAJP4
Build info: 2010.11
But Kies still says "This version of the device cannot be updated."
Is it because of the CWM bootloader (v2.3?)?
Any suggestions / ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Have you tried using ODIN for flashing?

Good suggestion, and it flashed OK and works OK, but, KIES still says it cannot be updated.
Should I flash the bootloader? It is CWM.
I wonder if KIES looks for the bootloader.

Kies is a huge pile of dung. Why bother messing with the bootloader when you've already flashed what you wanted?

Several Reasons:
1) I want to see what Samsung's "Official" version of Gingerbread is like.
2) CM7 bluetooth pairing is broken. I am totally over having to go through the pairing process every damn time I get in my car.
3) I have to go back at least to 2.2 at some point as I have lost access to my External Flash card.

You should be able to grab the stock fimware from samfirmware.com and flash it with odin, no?

Hi,
I have successfully just done what you are trying to accomplish. I don't have the links to these files anymore but if you can't find them I'd be happy to make them available for you.
Firstly flash GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar as it has a boot loader.
Secondly flash GT_I9000_DTJP5_DTJP3_XSAJP4 which is the original stock.

this looks like the link for the froyo full PDA tar: http://www.multiupload.com/3FFWC68UMC
so does this work? I want to get back to stock Optus and similarly didn't take note of any original versions or do any nandroid backups. idiot!

[Q] No network after successful Root?

Ok folks,
Forgive me if this is a panic post!
I successfully rooted my note this morning, I was on LA6 firmware, Downgraded and rooted without any problems.
I noticed that I only had "emergency calls only" after the reboot, so went into mobile network settings and managed to get a signal on my network (3uk) although it dropped again when I rebooted again?
Right after the Rooting was done, I backed up my EFS folder as stated is best practice, then backed up the stock rom.
I thought that maybe the old baseband version was giving me the issues (I presume the notes modem is similar to the HTC radio?) so I went ahead and gave Checkrom NoteHD V6 a shot. It all installed fine and as it should but I still have the no network issue. I dont think it corrupted the efs system as I can still use wifi and my IMEI number is still there.
Any ideas for a new note owner?
Edit:
-----------
I did make note that I was on Baseband XXLA4 before rooting or flashing anything, is it safe to go ahead and flash it from the modems thread via CWM? Should this help?
any pointers if doing so?

You may have already tried this but are your APN settings correct?
They may change or get deleted between ROM flashes
Also what modem do you have and baseband in the about phone menu right now?

Wow, that was quick!
My APN settings all seem fine. The preset for three.co.uk were still there and the settings inside seem intact.
Im currently running baseband XXLB2.

Then it should work your modem is not old and your APN is fine
Maybe try putting another SIM or another carrier

As ive put in the edit to the OP, is it safe to try to flash back to the XXLA4 modem? If all else fails that is?

How did you root your note? I am on 3 in the UK with same firmware, have been looking around but not much progress.
Cheers.

First thing first...
- do the hard reset Vol Up + Menu + Power *or* CWM Wipe everything. Reboot...
- Still no go, go and download different radio HERE and flash it

Ok, followed your advice. Hard reset hasnt improved it.
So went ahead and flashed XXLA4 (my original modem) - Nothing,
Just tried the KL1 modem -Nothing! GRRRRR!
Maybe I will try to go back to stock, I was on the LA6 firmware, See if that works.

sorry m8, couldn't help much...
is that phone carrier locked?
i suggest, flash CheckRoom v6 (the most professional stock look-alike rom). If the problem still there, try flash another radio. After that if still no go... try CM9/AOSP ICS

No, no carrier lock, no branding, no nothing!
Just been racking my brains, after refering to a video link posted in the how to root galaxy note thread, I see a chap called cursed4eva created a video using ODDKL1 as the downgrade to root method. Just checked on samfirmware.com and that is Indian firmware, could this cause my network issue?
Im in the process of downloading the lastest Uk firmware now.
If it was the case that this indian firmware was causing the issue, wouldnt flashing checkrom fix it? I didnt seem to for me?
Anyway, rooting around on the samfirmware pages, ive found a directly rootable firmware package (KK3) that was a carphone warehouse UK one.
If I get network back from the latest firmware, im going to downgrade to the above mentioned carphone warehouse package, Root, and try again.
I will post back some results ASAP.

you can flash any rom, but the main problem is the radio. different country got different radio.
