[Q] Having some (basic) questions about i5800L

Hi all,
I've just got my new i5800L, and I've already rooted it with z4root. Here are my qs:
What's all that of XXJPM and all that stuff? Which one should I use for mine? (actual one is I5800LVIJG7 (Eclair)).
Is there any way of doing a nandroid (full copy of the actual rom which can be flashed easily) so if I mess things up or want to get back to Eclair I'd just have to flash it back?
I guess that's all by now. Thank's in advance.

JPM is the latest froyo rom...you cant backup ur whole rom as if nw we dont have any alternative for this...check flashing guide in sticky and see vdos on youtube. ...happy flashing...

Thanks..
I've downloaded 2 files (2 diferent versions). One was a zip file with 3 files inside and the other one was a rar file with 4 .tar.md5 files. The zip i don't know how to apply it because odin will only take .tar or md5 files and in the other one I don't know what to do with all the .tar.md5 files. What should I do? :S

Hope this helps

Thanks, now it's booting (on the samsung screen). I think it worked. But now it's "orangeized" XD. I'll keep looking for the right tar XD
PD: is it ok if it takes a while on the "samsung" (the one with the glow, after the GT-I5800l screen) screen? cause it's past a few minutes and still on that screen and I'm starting to panic XD
EDIT: It's been more that 15 minutes since it's stuck at that screen. What should I do? Please, second day with it and already screw it XD

Flash the JPM firmware...you shud get it as a tar package...a single file...
but sometimes u will have 4 files
1. bootloader
2. pda
3. csc
4. phone
dont ever flash the bootloader file in odin with pda csc n phone tar files...because the risk of bricking goes high...
just flash the 3 remainin files...n when ur fone has booted...just do a hard reset

Great, now it works again! Thank you a lot. And now I finally understand how odin works :-D
which custom rom do you guys recomend?

Don't forget the i5800L is different from the i5800, but the only difference is the 3G antenna frequency. If you install JPM you MIGHT have 3G connection problems, or then again you might not. You MOST LIKELY will see a battery life decrease because of this issue. If you want really badly to have Froyo (android 2.2) you can flash a JPM ROM. If you want your battery to last a couple of days, either wait for an american release of froyo, or keep your Eclair version.
I have a i5800L from VIVO, originally with JG7 as well. When I installed JPF (previous froyo release) I had issues with the 3G network, when I flashed Kyrillos custom JPM ROM i also had problems. When I flashed Lestatious custom JPF ROM I didn't have problems, and when I flashed clean JPM i didn't have problems either.
So really, its a question of luck.. although let me tell you, my battery lasted way way longer on the original JG7 firmware than any other release (including the JK1 Eclair, said to be the best Eclair released before froyo).
Remember though, if flashing separately (not as one package), avoid flashing the BOOT file or BOOTLOADER. Flashing this increases the chance of bricking your phone. Not flashing it decreases the change by 1000000000000 times.

Yeah, I can see that. I'm with Kryllos v3.3 and the battery only lasts like about 16 hours :S. I guess I'll go back to I5800LVIJG7 (The one which it came with).

About that, if I flash the bootloader (with all the others too, of course), and it upgrades ok, then there's no problem, right? I mean, if I try to downgrade again, it'll work fine? (Yes, before I read the comment telling me not to flash the bootloader, I did it and it was successfull. But now I don't know if it'd make it fail when I'll downgrade to I5800LVIJG7 :S)

It's not about upgrading or downgrading. When you flash, pratically all the memory on your phone gets erased, which means you can upgrade or downgrade at will with no problems.
The problem is, when you flash a bootloader, and say, for example, you have a power outage, or your computer decides to give more resources to your MSN or winamp you have running on the background (or whatever else), or even there is a problem with your cable connection or a spike in power, or whatever other mishap that can occur, the bootloader might not be able to transfer successfully. If that happens, you won't be able to boot your phone. If you flash everything except the bootloader and something happens, you will be able to at least go back into download mode and reflash the files needed.
Basically the bootloader tells your phone to start. If that gets corrupted, it simply won't. If you avoid flashing this and even if the transfer gets corrupted, you can always do the process again by going into download mode (which is installed along with the bootloader)

Great, thank you so much

Go to terminal emulator and type this..

dd if=/dev/block/stl4 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs
Wait for few seconds. Then copy efs.rfs from sdcard to pc and keep it safe.

STEP BY STEP How to install CM7.1.0 - FreeXperia Project

streamnlnl said:
Sorry for the late reply , I just see those post.
I haven't a x10 anymore. I have a arc S now.
So i don't read all the post on the x10 tread. I can't help anymore with the most question . But I have a idea. Just copy past my first post (or edit to your liking) and open a new tread. That person must be someone that actually can help.
If that is done, let me know so I can contact a mod and close this tread.
It hoe if I have helped somebody.

After seeing the same question over and over again, I'm going to try to make a step by step guide for install this ROM.
So that the main tread will be as clean as possible.
In the second post, I will post tips and the most commen Q & A.
If you want to discuss about this ROM, please do that here
Now let's get started...............
First you need to unlock your boatloader.
You can read and ask ALL of your questions about unlocking here
(If you don't have a unlocked boatloader, there is a solution for that. But I suggest to unlock your boatloader. FXP team make this for unlocked bootloader. So you be warned. If you still want to install this with a locked bootloader, I suggest to go to cobrato tread, thank him for this.)
When you have a unlocked bootloader you are good to go to install this beautiful ROM .
THE ROMS ARE NUMBERED BY WEEK NUMBER.
I call the ROM FXP(week number), because I don't always have time to keep this up_to_date. Sorry for that!
Download the 2 files in this post (FXP(week number) & GAPPS ADDON)
FXP(week number) will be called something like this: update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-es209ra-KANG-signed
There are 3 files in update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-es209ra-KANG-signed
#Flashtool
#FXP(week number)
#unlock
Unzip those files on your PC
Put the map FXP(week number) (The one you just unzipped) and GAPPS ADDON (the one you have download at the start) somewhere on your SDcard.
Open flashtool and run the X10FlashTool.exe
No press Flash.
You will see just one file.
#x10i
Now flash that one, with this you will get the CWM.
After this reboot your phone en press repeatedly on the back button till you enter CWM.
Here you do:
1) wipe data/factory reset
2)wipe cauche partition
3)advanced ====> wipe Dalvik Cache
Now you can install the ROM:
1)Install zip from SDcard =====> choose zip from sdcard ===> and then go to the place where you have left FXP(week number) on your sdcard.
2)install now GAPPS ADDON, the same way you have install FPX(week number).
When it's done reboot your phone and enjoy
If I have write something what isn't correct.
PM me and I will edit it correctly.
To keep this up-to-date, also PM me for the bugs or tips.
So that I don't need to read every single post.
Thanks in advance
.

Tips:
# For faster bootup, just add this line in build.prop:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Also, if you experiences battery drainage, simply change your governor from performance to ondemand (thanks to Hzu)

A: You can hit the thank you button on his post,
or you can donate here
Q: Are there more pics about this ROM available?
A of course, You can look here , here or here
Q: Can I use Rom Manager with this Rom?
A: Yes you can
Q: Are all of the cm settings available
In this rom?
A:Yes
Q:
A:
.

Great job!!!!

For faster bootup, just add this line in build.prop:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Also, if you experiences battery drainage, simply change your governor from performance to ondemand.
I found this from the past few releases and some people complained about battery drainage so I tried to find the source and this is what I found.
J said they set it to performance so that the phone will be faster and easier to test out features.

Maybe someone here can help me. I've followed those instructions but when I go to CWM based recovery and pick install from sd card it keeps saying cannot mount /sdcard
xrecovery on the other hand reads it just fine.
Maybe this is related to other roms not detecting my sd card.
Any suggestions?

Has anyone tried to flash dooms fxp for unlocked bootloaders with CM7??

which version of cwm do i use?? im using doomlords kernel where it has two versions of cwm and xrecovery

Read the op mate, it tells you how to install the rom, the part that says flash the fxp firmware with flashtool will give you the correct recovery, you can not use Dooms cwm's as you also need the kernel in FXP.
From the op....
Now flash FXP, with this you will get the CWM.

Any ideas guys? I even flashed back to 2.1 and started over but in CWM I keep getting can't mount /sdcard

Can you please give us some more info?
What exactly have you did?
Like, do you have a unlocked bootloader? Did the flashtool say that it was successful?
What kind of baseband do you have. Etc etc.

Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader. The Free Xperia screen comes up and I press the back button to get into recovery.
I'm running the .71 baseband and have had no problems flashing from flashtool.
Before I was running a custom 2.3.3 rom and I unlocked the bootloader, flashed in the FXP custom kernel and got the same problem of mounting sd card in recovery.
I just went back to stock 2.1 (This rom reads my sd card just fine), flashed .71 baseband, flashed FXP kernel and still got the same error when I entered recovery to install custom zip.

Why mounting sdcard?
If you put the right files before flashing on your card. You don't need to mount your card.
Can you access your card trough the menu?
Install zip from sdcard?
Edit.. i was reading your latest post on xda and are you sure that you have successful unlocked your bootloader/
in HOW-TO]UNLOCK bootloader for X10 you find a tool in the second post (s1tool.7z).
If I rember it correctly, when you run it you can see 2 different things in the fist line
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A013" ======> locked bootloader
or
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A013" ======> unlocked bootloader
(can anyone confirm this?)
@takerfan you got a PM

That's the thing, when I go to install custom zip from the menu it gives me an error that says "Can't mount /sdcard"
edit: Yes, I ran the tool and the r was lowercase. I even did recover to relock the bootloader and the R became uppercase and I again unlocked it.
edit2: I think I should mention this..whenever I flash a 2.3 rom whether it's stock or custom, the rom does not detect my sd card. Once I go back to 2.1 it does. Do you know why this is the case?

Hi,
Let me know what I do wrong.... despite of turning ON debbuging in settings options during FXP flashing via Flash Tool I,ve got permanently error " turn on debbiging...." but It is already done.
What should I do to make a progress.... baseband .71, bootloader loocked.

Try unmounting the sd card from mounts & storage menu in recovery and choose install zip from sdcard again. See if this helps.

It's because you haven't unlocked your bootloader, the phone would not allow you to flash unsigned .sin files, which means you can't flash the FXP kernel.

Are you saying that after flashing the kernel it still says turn on debugging bla bla? That's normal. See if it shows freexperia upon turning on your phone.
If not, then you have not unlocked your bootloader.

In mounts and storage it only gives me the option to mount sd and when I select that it gives me the same error. Xrecovery works fine but I can't flash cm7 with that.

I've made the leap and installed this ROM. First of all I want to say how brilliant it is and it'll obviously only get better. I've also installed FXP28 on my wife's x8 with similar results. Great work FXP team!
So on to my problem... when I go to bed my phone has switched itself off and my alarm hasn't gone off. When I switch it back on there was still 20 odd % battery remaining. This has happened twice. I've been running the govener on 'on demand'. One thing that is odd is that the phone has a flashing green light which presumably means it is in fact not off. The only way to wake it up though is to hold the power button.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Ok. Another problem. Cannot get wifi tether to work at all... also USB tethering doesn't work and could only get barnacle to work with no security.
Is anyone having success with tethering.
PS. I never had a problem with my previous rom - Wolf's!

Root 4.0.4 ics {Arc lt15i} LOCKED BOOTLOADERS

The following is for those who have locked bootloaders ie :- NO fast/hotboot option available
needed :-
flashtool by androxyde needed to make all this possible can be downloaded from http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
flash 4.0.4.lt 15i generic fr ftf then use the kernal from the lt18i ics 4.0.3. flash only kernal so thats kernal sin loader sin only and dont wipe data or cash
full 4.0.3 lt18 562 ftf for kernal for rooting
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7JadydU6TBNElIYlVWTEhJVDg
then i used this to root the phone ROOT ICS: Use this script:-
http://ul.to/ia1eriso
to use the script on handset goto settings developer options top option tick the check box make sure your computer has already or is installing drivers for adb etc etc click the run me inside the package once u have extracted it to somewhere on your desktop or somewhere else u put it and thats it it will restart ur fone a few times and run the root for u theres nothing else to do sept sit down for 20 seconds
Installed clockwork mod using this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
Then i flashed this
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip *** THIS CAN BE SKIPPED IF WANTED ***
from
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
then back to flashtool by androxide to reflashed the 4.0.4 stock kernal remember to not wipe user data and casch and kept rooted on locked bootloader
thanks to evry 1 hear and to those who made the original packeges i made nothing i just played around with it a bit if i was helpfull pleas press thanks
tried and tested i have 2 arcs and it worked on both
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR U DAMAGING YOUR PHONE DOING THIS =) BUT IV HAD NO PROBLEM AS OF YET ***SEE NEXT POST ***
edit *** Originally Posted by codestation View Post

Or for an easyer method try this basicly following the same thing just made easyer by http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4562324 located http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957

i got the idea to try this from this thread originaly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680222
so id look there at my rants b4 trying this
*** if your on stock ics from pc companion just flash the 403 kernal root fone with one click then flash back the 404 kernal for arc ***
** rants the 403 kernal makes phone stop the xperia option in settings will dissaper keyboard fc etc etc,,, some free aps will seem like they dont have full root they do just some features only available on paid apps £££ support ur devs and buy them =) ***
*** flashing the 4.0.4 generic fr ftf is optional as fear as i know i only say to use that 1 as it was the only 1 available at the time i did this and is the only one that i have tried personaly as different regional firmware becomes available i will try them myself but if u have a different ftf file than the one i used i think it should be safe to use as from what iv been reading in other root threads ie xperia pro arc s etc they all seem to be following the same steps i did to root with locked bootloads and dont apperar to make any difference =)
*** as mentioned i found that the 2nd root package doesnt need to be done however i found that it was a little quicker to respond to apps than the other this one popps up with 8 secs left to press button but other i found to be a little laggy even after an update from market poping up after like 4 secs of pressing root apk request with only 3 seconds left to choose grant/deny,
2 other things i found with the french 4.0.4 there was an apn stored in there via default and if u try to delete or edit it or discard it then got to home screen and try to go back to apn's it crashes settings however i was still able to make calls recieve n send text go on webb via mobile currier but had emergency calls displayed in the quick panel
the other was when selecting network it takes some time loading them and if u press on the screen b4 it brings any network up it will just send u bk to the previous screen having to start the whole thing again lol well anoying best to just wait or ajust screen time out maybe ?? easy solution
instalation ov busy box seems optional m not linking any to the thread tho there are several available on the market choose ur own preferance =)

Thanks, Worked well for me. Phone is rooted now with locked boot loader.

Download the files needed to your PC, than use CWM to copy them to your Phone in USB mounts and Storage , after that flash

Thankyou xsenman that sounds simple enough,:fingers-crossed:

Well that worked great its now installed and the new rom looks sweet.
Problem i have now is im getting "An invalid IMEI number could cause network issues including the inability to call" anyone seen this before ?
Just found this :
Everyone is having IMEI problems, here is how you fix it.
1) Get ES file explorer or root explorer
2)Look in sdcard/backup/efs
3)Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log to /efs.
4) Reboot and enjoy!
Ill post back after gym if it works =D

That should work. Actually a friend of mine had similar issue with his phone but from what I know this solution helped him to get rid of the problem
Typed with my I9001

tryed the above fix with astro manager from recovery and after file copy and reboot i still get imei error.
thanks for the post ruthlessrat, its good to know someone else has tried the above fix and its worked for them maybe others who stuble across this thread may be able to use it although i can confirm it did not work for me.
I'm assuming my nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log were bad, I'm looking into a imei fix here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 Hopefully this will resolve the last issue.
Edit: Good news I've got another phone to cover me for a while so I can work on getting this phone set up
how i want it, I think i may need to return to a stock rom, will this restore the imei ?
Edit2 : Reinstalled Gapps from thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675 this time its worked and Google play is now working fully so ive installed titanium backup and a few other applications that may come in use.
In the meantime alternate imei fixes and any advice would be useful on other cool features / functionality unique to JB. Thankyou to everyone again without the assistance it would have taken me allot further to get to this point.

Funny you should suggest that ive come across your thread, thanked, rated 5 and believe it should be newsworthy that thread could turn into a real noob's guide, I like it very much. I tried the first suggestion of copying the files , afraid it didn't work.
Second to that i tried this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JqLK_2I-SBM
but unfortunately my nv_data.bin is pure "FF" in the hex editor so I assume this is some kind of default setting? anyone know ?
I am now going to try..
you can start from the beginning.. go back to GB 2.36 (use a JVU ROM + Root, upgrade to ICS CM 9 and than to CM10
Solution for i9000 on JB:-Try not to jump from Gingerbread to Jellybean, as all upgrades should be done progressively. meaning you need to be on a GB 2.3.6> than into ICS and finally into JB.
I'm going to use GB 2.3.6 from sammobile.com
Can anyone recommend an ICS rom ?
following this I will flash Helly Bean latest nightly again.
Edit: Well Ive flashed back to 2.3.6 JVU & used the JVU CF - Root which works great, Ive backed up my rom and ets folder ready for jellybean the problem is when running through the installation ui it gets stuck on the final " Helly Bean installed" screen after making your software selections,
When I click next to finish it just hangs and the phone becomes completely unresponsive. at this point Ive removed battery and restarted but alas I'm still on cf rooted gingerbread. I don't understand why as it worked fine before.
Ive tried clearing both cache's and reset, this made no difference.
Ive also reinstalled stock rom, re flashed CF-Root & Tried again with no success.
I'm going to look into ICS roms and post back.

Okay been having a few issues installing CM 9 so i have installed CM 7 for the moment,
Trying to fix CM9 atm keep getting "installation aborted (Bad)"
Fixed/Update : Move files to internal storage, Installed latest CM9, Downloading CM10 Nightly
Update 2 : CM10 Nightly installed works great & GAPPS latest version from goo.im.
Thanks again xsenman without you this would have been allot longer process, I really appreciate it !

LE 1S Custom Kernel(Fully working)

This thread is to inform that a Custom Kernel has been released
And is completely Working
P.S - For the people who even said that fingerprint source isn't compiling
Try this!
Thanks to a friend and developer for our phone Nishanth
He is the developer of the AOPS ROM for our device.

Its all fixed and compiles perfectly.
The link for the custom kernel is on github for all the Le1s developers out there
Can contribute for the development of the device.

ZIMAGE file download link

Is there any chance of getting cm14 with this??

As with one of the posts made over at leeco.re the forum post link is broken, you can't always grab a link as part of a larger text selection, you need to right click on the link and select to copy the link.
Also, it would be nice to have an actual kernel to download for those who don't have a suitable build environment, nothing I have found with your info points to or provides a downloadable kernel which suggests that as of now it is vapour-ware.

Hey, Thanks for replying! I can provide u the zImage only as I am not yet able to flash just the kernel zImage directly from zip via recovery so i simply create a new boot.img and flash tht! If u want then I can simply provide you with zImage also! I will post the link here soon!
Thanks

Here you go! the zImage compiled one!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztq414yjkq2hmo0/Psycho-Kernel.img-zImage?dl=0
For people who dont know whats zImage or what is the difference between zImage and Boot.img
Please please dont flash it directly via recovery as img file u will surely mess your boot partition and i wont be held responsible for tht!
Rest all if u put it in ur boot img or flash via any kernel flasher or whatever app u can then it will 100% work with no problems!!!

Thanks, I'll just have to dust the cobwebs off the brain cells I'll need to use to get this on the phone

If you have no idea of linux or ROM development it is recommended that you don't do anything as it will be a waste of time for you

But although, I personally feel ashamed cuz of that video. AOPS ROM neva gave me 6hrs sot, the dev asked me to say so, so that he could get people to download it. AOPS is nothing more that AOSP with material UP theme and few more tweaks. Anyways, thnx for sharing

It would be best if you could do a step by step guide for some newbies who doesnt know how is the procedure on flashing/installing the kernel on their phone...

post an app for flashing

huh this is not a procedure or anything
this is a kernel required to build a ROM

Ok so my friend flashed the zimage from recovery and the phone is not booting up. I tried to recover it by flashing the stock rom with flashtool but no effect. Can't even go to either recovery or fastboot. Help me to get it back working. Thanks in advance.

I don't even own the device he did renamed the file with root explorer and flashed as a kernel lol. But i tried flashing whole firmware through sp flashtool but the device wasn't booting. Got it working by completely formatting through flashoot (even the bootloader). It did wiped his imeis too lol. but got them fixed with engineering mode. so chill everything is under control. Hope you build a great kernel for that device.

Ok don't worry help is here,
1) Get your firmware. It will contain rom, flashtool, drivers. Install drivers first, install minimal adb and fast boot drivers too.
2) Open flashtool got to advanced format options it's on the other tab. Select complete wipe include bootloader.
3) Flash the rom, it'll have a txt page with instruction about it or Google it if you still have problems ask me.
4) wait till the process ends and your phone will be back.
5) You will have no imei(s) in your device and it won't recognize sim card. Get toolhero app it will set you imei(s) and for God's sake write them somewhere you can reach anytime cause they will disappear everytime you factory reset/wipe/change roms/ and it's a stupid thing that toolhero requires Internet to set the imei(s) so keep a Hotspot or WiFi near while next time you experiment with your device. Hope this helps.
