Custom ROMS

8/10 people who load ROMs have boot issues on their HD2s.
Why dont cookers make executable files like HTC does for ROM updates....saves all the hassle as well as forum traffic...

Good idea.. Just upgrade the rom via internet without flashing it again and again..

i disagree. 8 our of 10 people if much to high. its more like 1 or 2%, as generally people correctly read the information given in the rom thread and have a successful flash.
its 9.9 out of 10 people who DO have boot issues who either did not read, or did not understand RADIO requirements. there is absolutely no benefit for chefs to make EXE files for rom updates, it
a) could NOT be executed on the phone
b) coud potentially kill TMOUS phones if an incorrect radio was included, or someone download a NON TMOUS rom because they did not read properly.
i think this thread should be closed.

People who brick there phone are 99%/100% the people who don't reade carefully!

How about a little more info? No Captivate kernel is mentioned. Is this supposed to be an i9000 ROM or Captivate then?

Sounds interesting but can you at least post a link with more information or post more information ins his post please

Will it work? Yes it will. Will there be issues. Yes there will, look through the froyo threads in this forum for more info.

We don't even know what this is yet. A ROM that is mentioned no where else, so how do you know any of this - have you tried it?

Interesting. Anyone dl it and open to see what it is? I will once i get home. I wonder where it came from too lol.

seriously
Okay buddy not be harsh but give some details!!!!!
I am going to say this is fishy at best. I am downloading and taking a peek around!!

I see this on Samsung Firmwares now - it is an Africa/Arabic build.
Damn noobies and their quick posts. Should have known.
Probably no newer then the EU build - it is only the second 2.2 while EU is on its 3rd.

Cool, I am going to download it before samsung-firmwares gets shut down. I bet Zilch is at church...

...Don't bother me with details...just tell me when they're done!

Your going to have the same issues as always, reversed orientation sensor, reversed soft keys, buttons in recovery mode do nothing, reversed speaker route etc etc.

Unless this is a new JP4, as in, newer than the one released this past week this is old news. JPK is the new darling of the I9000 forums- and a newer build.
And yes, both builds still have the issues of orientation, menu/back being the same, reversed headphone logic, etc etc.

Is this the leak that came out a while ago? Or is this different in some way?

Not sure about the exe part but it does look to be slightly different.
Leaked:
PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00.0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip

Since it's signed, then yes it will make you lose root.

Going to check out this "leaked update." The EXE is a giveaway but I'll have fun checking it out.
Also, OP, don't be offended. It's very suspicious when someone posts an EXE file in the world of Android unless it's been confirmed good over and over again.

Do your research before insinuating someone is posting something "Bad". RUUs come in EXE form, many people (including me) just extract them first, because we do not use windows.
Football is a reliable source, and if you pay a little attention, you would know many of the early RUUs came from him prior to the phone release.
This is likely the same as the ZIP i posted earlier, will check now.

Also, don't flash this over a rooted device.

Not to sound too greedy or impatient... are there any mirrors for this yet? Its downloading really slow... and sometimes even "pausing" (bites received stalls for a few moments)

Wasn't necessarily saying he wasn't a bad source, merely saying that some people find it sketchy to see an exe over a zip or rar archive.

Why would be posting something in it's original form be sketchy? RUUs come as an EXE. You have to extract the zip from them.
I mean, if people are worried about a virus extract it. I don't see people freaking out over APKs being posted, when it is just as easy if not easier to drop malware into an APK.

Lets hope it's modified.

I downloaded the RRU EXE from the OP... pulled the ROM.ZIP out of it and did a FC /BIN against PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00.0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip
There were differences found.
I'll leave it to the experts to pull apart the ROM.ZIP in this RRU EXE and figure out exactly what those differences are, and if they mean anything to us.

Mods please read this. Lack of md5 posting for custom roms

I was just wondering about the lack of people posting md5 for custom roms in the dev section
Love the works of the devs here and the only reason I'm posting this here is to hope devs and mods read this
I've flashed a few roms that had the wrong md5 and trust me it isn't fun. Also it won't help the devs find bugs as people may report issues that are simply due to bad downloads
I've been flashing roms for various phone for over 2 years but find the lack of md5 posting in here a little disturbing compared to other xda forums for android.
Shouldn't this be mandatory by now?

+1 I totally agree

and for people who dont know what is it
http://dret.net/glossary/md5

Well if a self-extracting archive is corrupt it just won't extract the tarball do I think you don't need md5 for the firmwares.
For CWM ROM I would agree that if you're anal about these things then an MD5 checksum would be a good way to check the integrity of your download.

its not about being rectal, but files can change due broadband problems, the reason why u c that Cyanogenmod devs r doing this by default. I think it should be mandatory as the op stated

Many people download these roms over wireless data which has more chances of packet loss or corrupt info.
Also this won't take too much time for dev just to post this info and it avoids many issues.
I was using custom desire hd roms and prior to that nexus one roms and all those xda forums post them without a second thought.
It's not a big deal to post it but it's a big deal for the people installing these roms who don't want corrupt roms and for devs who want valid feedback.
That's why I don't understand the lack of posting them for these roms

Yeah, but...

You can't argue with that point. Maybe for zip files it's a good idea, but for firmwares that are self-extracting zips (like Intratech's), it's literally a non-requirement.
Good idea otherwise though.

If I'm honest here, speaking as a user, not a mod.
I'd rather it wasnt mandatory, that way its another indicator of whether or not a ROM is worth flashing.
MD5 - No issues....
No MD5 - Who knows what other shortcuts they've taken...... Dont flash.
jm2c

One of the reason I didn't bother with the md5 and just created self-extracting archives was because of the unbelievable number of PMs I got asking what it was for and how to use MD5 and that kind of thing which made me go: !!
Couldn't believe that people on here didn't know what a md5 hash was or how it was used.

I well aware of the issues with transmitting of data via tcp/ip, my job kind of depends on knowing little stupid details like that. Files don't change, the data becomes corrupt. If a self-extracting archive is corrupt it won't extract, you'll get an error.

Sounds good to me

I'm simply stating that supplying the MD5 for the ROMs devs make for people is something that is easy to do and should be done to allow a certain amount of quality control
There are plenty of MD5 checking applications on the market people can use if they want to check it
I don't understand why asking DEVs to supply this is such a big deal. Devs are asking users to trust them with custom firmware they make so why shouldn't users be able to validate the ROM they download isn't corrupt prior to flashing via CWM.
Also keep in mind not all users use these roms to flash some may download them to simply extract certain files or apps in order to mod their current phone like me extracting the older android market to replace the new one which I don't like.
I simply think its simple quality control and doesn't take much time for anyone to post.

Correct me if I am wrong but if a ROM developer posts a thread here, with there rom and everything in it, without a MD5 sum and has users using it. If those users post that the rom is bad and has a lot of problems, people will avoid it.
If its really good, the ROM will be downloaded plenty of times and the thread will have plenty of pages stating the rom is good. Isn't that basically the same thing as MD5 checking to see if the rom is good?
Also, never download anything from a source you do not trust.

But that's the thing an MD5 is simply a fingerprint to make sure that the ROM the dev uploaded is the ROM you downloaded and are about to flash. It has nothing to do with trusting the dev but its not like most of us know them personally anyways but that's besides the point.
The ROM that is uploaded may be correct and many people maybe downloading and using it but the corruption comes from during the download process either via the computer or on the phone.
Due to this sometimes 1 out of 100 or 1000 downloads for example maybe corrupt.So in this case 999 out of 1000 people will have the right file and no issues. I may not want to be that 1 out of 1000 that have a corrupt download thus I check the MD5 to make sure what I downloaded is what was uploaded and wanted to flash.
Takes 2 min of my time and I know what I have is what I wanted

The archives you create, Intratech, are only "self-extracting" on windows machines. I myself sometimes use your files but, being on Linux, I have to extract them using p7zip... and hence, I don't believe they are "self-extracting".
This being said, if the .7z file is corrupt, there is some chance that p7zip refuse to extract it. However, I don't believe this is a fullproof way of testing the viability of the file (it might be corrupt but "not enough/not at the right place" for p7zip to refuse the extraction). Then again, md5 sums are not fullproof tests either, by definition...
PS: I don't know how .7z files work. They maybe contain some kind of key check the extractor can test. Thus, everything I told might simply be BS

I'd rather a self-extracting archive than having to actually manually check an MD5 myself.. I'm lazy like that.
I realise that if its a self-extracting archive then I'll need my PC to flash it but I can live with that

[PATCH] Old Bootloader [USB DOWNLOAD HACK] READ!!!

Hey guys, on the the forums!
I'm here today, to "show" you a small hack, for the SGS II!
All you need, are a few things, and then we can get started.
But, let me tell you, what I'm trying to expain;
If you are a person, that is new to flashing, then you might find this especially interesting, because this hack, lets you flash as many custo things, as you want, but the flash-counter does not increase.
As an example, I flash my phone, near-to every few days, because I test new and custom kernels. So, I found this hack, and it works!
So, let's get on with the tutorial!
First; the things you will need.
1. My custom Odin. (Because then, it's easier to explain...)
2. A USB Download-mode Jig/Dongle.
3.The Update-package.
Tutorial:
Turn your phone OFF, and plug in the USB Jig/Dongle. Once in download mode, take the Jig/Dongle out, and plug in the USB cable, in to your computer (and phone). Now open Odin, and extract the update-package.
In Odin, you will find buutons, called " Bootloader" and "PDA", and a checkbox, named "Update phone's Bootloader".
Clcik on "Bootloader" and select:"GT-I9100_OLD_BOOTLOADER" now click on Open. Back in Odin, click on "PDA" and select the file named: "GT-I9100_counter_patch".
Now, once you have made sure, that the checkboxes "Auto reboot device" and "F. Reset Time" are checked, just click on "Start flash" and wait for your device to reboot.
Now, flash Siyah-Kernel.
You flash this, by clicking the File named "Siyah2.tar" in the "PDA" menu....
After the flashing has finished, go back to your download mode: (Three-button-combo or CWM app way) And you will notice; that it still says
"Custom Binary Download: No.
Binary: Samsung Official"
If you liked my tutorial, please thanks me.
If you think, I could do something better, tahn message me.
Happy flashing!
Edit: The reason I said: "A Download-Mode-Jig is needed!" Is because you are probably new to flashing, so if you close Odin by accident, you will need the Jig, to unbrick our device.
And, incase you do something wrong, you will also need the Jig, incase it counted, where you flashed Siyah.
Sorry for not saying his earlier.
It's noted for next time!

Hi, what's the difference to : intratech,
besides flashing custom rom?
Does it influence the counter somehow?

Anyone can confirm this really works?
And why he says u need jig when u can boot into download mode without jig to flash the bootloader and patch?

Because it's easier to get into the bootloader the first time with the Jig/Dongle, and if it fails, you will still need the Jig/Dongle to reflash...
And, incase you accidently do something to the phone, during the flash -process, you will need the Jig, incase of a brick...

Yes, it does. It stops the counter from counting. So, basicly, the hacked Bootloader, tells the counter: "This is a stock ROM, if you believe it, or not. So Say it's stock, or else!"
Even if it's custom.

Nice
But frankly i will not risk flashing the bootloader now(the first one to be flashing)
And change the title to "Flash custom kernel without increase in binary counter"
EDIT: Are you f**king kidding me?One star?

If you are too scared, to flash the Bootloader first, then just do the Patch. Then the bootloader, that way, you get a feeling for it.
But, trust me, I've done this on quite a few phone's before posting. It works just amzingly. But when updating the phone, you may need to flash the Bootloader and patch again. I've not tried that yet. As there are no Updates for my GS II at the moment....

While there do appear to be differences between Odin executables (I personally wouldn't even think about using it because of my next statement), both of the Sbl.bin files in your archive are binary identical to each other and to the one in Intratech's thread.

Not to be rude or anything,
I don't get what you mean by Linux freak (you don't need Linux to compare hashes) . It is pretty much impossible for two files to have the same CRC-32, MD5 and SHA-1 hashes. I've also checked them in a HEX editor and even still they are the same.
Also when you say you "modded" odin, have you just changed the text in resource hacker to make some stuff n00b firendly?

I think you've hit the nail on the head. So to sum up, we have two bootloaders which are identical to the ones in Intratech's thread, and a few strings changed via Resource Hacker in a "modded" Odin. Awesome.

Oh jeez.

Amongst other things in this read, uploading Siyah Kernel without permission/credits is against XDA Rule #12
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
