Hi All,
I wonder if someone could give me a little advise on a ROM problem.
When trying to upgrade to ANY ROM image & get the following error message:
"ERROR: GetConnectionType - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.....
..Error Getting connectiontype"
Then the ROM program closes & goes no further....>Doh!!
I have done a soft & hard re-boot, re-installed MS ActiveSync & even tried on another PC.
Please help!
did you follow this guide to upgrade ?
Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:
Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!
1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.
2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.
3. Select Write to SD
Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.
4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open
Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf
Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.
When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

Yes, I certainly tried to follow instructions to the letter & don't think I missed anything.
Any other ideas guy?
what bootloader version is it ?
here is a bit about different bootloaders
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/WallabyBootloader
Thanks very much. I have now got the latest XDA 1 ROm from the o2 website & have installed the latest radio stack update too.
However I now have no signal! have also tried several other SIM cards & no joy..

This post is getting deleted in 3....2.....1.....
Ummm.... Why?
edit: reference to illegal site is removed now
Don't delete, it's right, it work, It work on My mobile, long time to load but it work....
Sorry about that. I removed all of the references. And yes it works
EDIT: And this is NOT commercial software.
Does it work on the HD2? anybody tried?
I havent tried yet. It is pretty safe to install so give it a try
There is already a thread with detailed instructions by the author himself, so this should be deleted.
This is not the same. This has been repackaged to be simpler to install.
Code:
1. Open the EXE and follow the install
instructions.
2. Open Settings > Personal > Buttons and
map a button on your phone for '<Input
Pannel>'.
It takes 2 steps, instead of many on the other post.
The download includes a cracked version of VGAKey, which the developers probably won't appreciate.
Besides, Windows95 is hardly public domain, either?
OK Delete it then -_-.
I could remove the VGAKey part, and I doubt Microsoft would care about something 10+ years old.

Or, remove the VGAKey part, and include instructions or for users to create their own win95 image if they still own an old CD. Unless, you had to modify the image to get it working, I suppose...
Any way to get this to display full screen?

I installed it on my storga card (it's name is Storage Card) and I installated it as the instructions told meto do.
But when I want to launch it it says
The file "bochs" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
I tried searching for it's folder on the storage card, but I don't know the path where it installs to.
Any help?

I tried that now, but it didnt work. The program fails before the lightning and cog shows up.. And just doing the reset wont bring up the lightning and cog at all.
This is what is happening:
1. Retry on the computer and Volume down + Power on Lumia
2. Nokia symbol in the middle of the screen on Lumia (The ATT logo shows up in the US at this stage I presume)
3. Vibration on the Lumia, I switch to volume up.
4. The program fails and shows the popup with Retry button BEFORE the lightning and cog symbol on Lumia
5. lightning and cog symbol on Lumia but it is to late.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a swedish black Lumia 920 and I am using the swedish rm-821.
Thank you for trying to help!

switch to a different USB port. I had the same problem with my hp notebook where there were usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 ports. Funny thing was that I tried the USB 2.0 port first and it did not work, when I tried the USB 3.0 port, the software detected the phone and flashed it straight away.. Your luck may vary so I suggest trying all the USB ports until it works Good luck

In no way did i write this. I stumbled onto this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794956 (many thanks AlpineMan btw) and have seen the question here in the Evo 3d section a few times and thought it was worth a share for those running a Sprint ROM and VM or Boost service. I did step one and it worked like a charm. And to me any fix is a good fix. Especially in the land of root phones.
Method 1 - (the real fix, but requires a rooted phone):
***UPDATE***
I've confirmed that this method works on Jellybean ( 4.2.2). Tested and working on VM Evo 3d
1a) Download this working Sprint APN xml file: https://www.box.com/s/40x5ac2c6u0ckzfz59ig (click on download button at the top)
OR
1b) For Boost, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/o9folfrq00ee9p2qj5pv (click on download button at the top)
OR
1c) For Virgin Mobile, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/9itl21drpp84enqeszc9 (click on download button at the top)
2) Download and install "APN Backup & Restore" from the Google Play Store to your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...pRestore&hl=en
3) Convert the "APN Backup & Restore" into a system app by either using Titanium Backup, or simply use Root Explorer/ES File Explorer (root enable it) to move the APK from /data/app to /system/app.
4) Reboot the phone.
5) Launch the app, click on menu, then click on "Disable ICS Check".
6) In the main app menu, click on "Backup APNs". This will create a directory called "ApnBackupRestore" in your /mnt/sdcard.
7) Copy the xml file from step 1 to the /mnt/sdcard/ApnBackupRestore folder.
8) Go back to the main app menu, click on "Delete APNs" and confirm it.
9) Go back to the main app menu, click on "Restore APNs".
10) Choose the file you downloaded from step 1 and confirm it.
11) Reboot your phone.
12) Done.
Method 2 - (work around, doesn't require rooted phone)
1) Download and install Go SMS Pro to your phone from the Google Play Store.
2) Launch Go SMS Pro and skip through the intro message screens.
3) Skip the Go Chat Service offer unless you really want that.
4) Press Menu button on your GS3.
5) Choose Settings.
6) Scroll down the menu and choose Set default SMS program.
7) Press each entry in the list and put a check mark on "Use by default for this action" then choose Go SMS Pro. When both are done, press the back button on your phone.
8) Up on top, press "Advanced"
9) Scroll down the list and press "MMS Settings"
10) Scroll down the list and put a check mark on "Fill APN configuration manually"
11) Press "MMSC".
12a) Type in "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
OR
12b) Type in "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" for Boost
OR
12c) Type in "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" for Virgin Mobile
13) Press "MMS PROXY".
14) Type in "68.28.31.7" (Sprint & Boost) OR "205.239.233.136" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
15) Press "MMS PORT".
16) Type in "80" (Sprint & Boost) OR "81" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
17) Press back button on phone twice.
18) Send/receive a few SMS/MMS messages to test.
19) Done.
Works for Kit KAt (4.4) too
Hey,
Method 1 works for Kit Kat 4.4.1. I'm on a VM evo 3d with the CyanogenMod 11.0 VILLUMINATI Rom
The only difference is the app has to be moved to the /system/priv-app folder for it to be able to acquire the correct permissions.
I also did step 3) with titanium backup, not sure if it helped or not.
Cheers.
I used Redmi Note 10 global so my problem is that i can't replace google discover with app vault any ideas.
I really wish to change to App Vault
Flash Xiamoi. EU, It's already included both of them.
Hey Bolaide!
To replace Google discover with the app vault you just need to install one or two apps and plugins. Just copy the following steps exactly.
Step 1. Install the CPL (customized pixel launcher). If asked by a prompt select the CPL option (also check on the "remember me" option.)
Step 2. Go to "settings". Search and select "default launcher". Then select "cpl launcher".
Step 3. Go to home page and long press and select "home settings". Open google feed. Then get a new plugin for the phone named "CPL google feed plugin". This will redirect you to a github page. There select the "assets 3" option and download the "cpl_plugin.apk" file.
Step 4. After that go to the "File manager">download>cpl_plugin.apk. You will see a prompt, select "install".
Step 5. Go to home and long press the screen. Select Home setting"> google feed> display google app. Turn it on.
Now scroll from left and discover the google discover.
