Hi. I've been reading through the forums and am thinking of flashing to the world generic for x10a (2.1, latest build) but don't want to lose some of the functions of my phone that may be country specific such as Google Voice Navigation for their Google Maps. I was wondering if Google Voice Navigation will still work after I flash to world generic for x10a, i.e. can I still use it as a gps when I drive (like it'll give me voice directions)? If it doesn't, any way to make it work?
On a semi-related note, I've been reading that there have been issues with the gps and wifi with the ROM update/flash. Have those been resolved with the latest 2.1 update that was released a few days ago (at least those that are software related and not hardware related)? The world generic is really the LAM but non-country specific without any of the bloatware that our carriers put on yes (I'm on AT&T and given their responses...ugh)? And if the world generic x10a 2.1 ROM happens to not install google voice search, I can just install batman_112's apk after flashing?
Thanks a lot for any help!

I use the 2.1 world generic. I have an AT&T X10a.
Navigation is there, yes.
You can install voice search, yes.
Issues, no.
Bloatware from AT&T, no.
You can root from here and remove whatever apps you do not like using root explorer or titanium backup.
Good luck.
Thanks man! That's awesome. Will do it once I charge up my phone (and of course after I do all the set up things). As an official ROM, we'll get the future updates (if SE releases anymore) as they come directly from SE right? Would we need to reroot every time there is an update?
Sorry, I'm still learning... Thanks.

Yes, you can get future updates directly from SEUS. You will not be tied to AT&T anymore. And yes, you will need to re-root every time you update but, that should not be a problem. Just pop in here whenever you need something and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.
Also, before you start, watch this tutorial regarding the flash tool.
Yes the answer to your question. If you use SEUS to update your phone you will need to re- root your devices after the update. I would look into checking out one of the custom roms that are out. i have tried each one and have it narrowed down to 2 to be my daily. either the EminenceBuild or J's 2.2CustomDarkStyle.
Thanks guys. The info and help is much appreciated.
Sorry, forgot to ask- the flash tool would be from jerlepea's massive ROM thread correct? Then I would root using batman_112's/your superoneclick's root program. Thanks.

Yes, you will find the flash tool there or you can go here and get it.
You can then root from here or here.
Thanks! Will be watching the video once I get back. This place is awesome, made awesome by you guys.
Thanks for the quick replies and info.

No problem
Come back and post to let us know how it went. Good luck!
Will do. Will do it later on in the week as I don't want to accidentally brick it during the week when I need to use the phone and have an all-nighter (however remote it appears to be); anyway, after flashing and rooting, I may not sleep anyway b/c I would want to play around with it! It's a pretty sweet device that's mainly marred by the official "support." But the support here more than makes up for that. Thanks again!
Ok, I tried flashing for...well much longer than it should have taken. I tried both PC Companion and SEUS. When I first got my x10a, I was able to update with PC Companion no problem. Now, when I'm trying to enter flash mode, my computer hangs. The phone enters flash mode (green light turns on) but my computer than hangs - it detects the SEMC device but then it hangs and the phone eventually just boots up normally then. I read somewhere that it might be the usb drivers? But I can't find the thread now or the files. Does anyone have them? I'm using Win XP SP3, antivirus and firewall off during flash attempts. Any advice? Thanks!
Hey, ok, I've been trying to flash my x10a for...well let's just say much longer than it should have been. Things seem fine in that I was able to use PC Companion to update when I got my x10a out of the box. But now, when I'm using either SEUS or PC Companion, my computer hangs once it detects the SEMC Device...after several seconds, the x10a just loads up normally and my computer hangs. I remember reading somewhere that it might be the usb drivers? I've been looking through the forums but can't seem to find it now - does anyone have it?
I'm running Win XP SP3, antivirus and firewall off when doing the flashing. Please help. Thanks!
---
I've tried it on another computer to no avail - it's the same thing, it sees the SEMC Mass Storage but it does not register as SEMC Flash Device (i.e. it sees it as a SEMC Flash Device but then it stops). I've uninstalled and reinstalled PC Companion and Update Service which should have given clean install of the drivers. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Ok, I finally got the firmware to flash but I can't seem to root now. Am reading through the threads but it seems like I am doing everything right, just not getting the results. Which sucks.
Btw, why does the haptic feedback not turn off properly? I turn it off but whenever I press a key, it still vibrates?
I am running the official AT&T Froyo 2.2.2 on my streak. For the past couple of days I get a "Unable to install, please try later" message every time I try to download and install any app from the market. Before this I have downloaded many apps from the market with no problems. Also I am still able to download apps from Amazon app store. I tried clearing the Market cache and Market data but it didn't fix it. I also deleted all apps that I downloaded recently. Still no fix. Does anyone have any ideas, as this is very frustrating? Thanks for any advise.
I recently had a similar issue.All I could do in the end was back up my phone/apps and then re-installed the Rom.If you're already done lots to your phone then this probably isn't what you want to here so just be patient. There's a lot of good helpful folk on here and fingers crossed you should get an answer. There's lots of great stuff to read up on while your waiting.I myself am learning new things daily and so far haven't bricked my Streak.Lol.
Good luck mate.Tris.
P.S. Just a thought but have you tried downloading apps from the official website through your phone or from a PC to see if you get the same error? That may help someone narrow the problem down for you.

You can also download from the market website directly to your phone without the use of the built-in app on your phone by going here :- https://market.android.com/
Just log in with you google account as normal and try a download, you can do this from either your phone web browser or through USB at your PC.

Wow, it does indeed work by downloading directly from the site to my phone! I would still like to figure out why the market app does not work, but it's great to know I can still get the apps. Thank you!!!
If you're phone is rooted and you have a backup of the file 'vending.apk' you could always try re-installing it through a file manager. But I'm afraid that is where my knowledge ends. I'm glad you can still manage downloads via another route, to me that says 'all is not lost yet!'
Maybe you have USB Debugging enabled?

I don't think so. How do I check?
I have USB Debugging enabled on my phone and have no problems with the Market, so it's something else that is causing the problem.
Well thanks for all the help guys. After several days of this happening with no know reason, it is now suddenly working again for no known reason. I just hope it keeps up.
Hey guys, wondering if you can help me.
I got my sgs2 soon after release and got rid of all carrier info, rooted it, installed a rom and been using happily ever since.
However, about two weeks ago over on sammobile news of ics kernels appeared xxkp4 and xxkp8.
I downloaded and paid for chainfires excellent mobile odin, grabbed xxkp8 and flashed away.
At first everything seemed fine, but a couple of my favourite and most useful apps wouldn't work with ics. So, I decided to change the rom.
Hooked up the phone to a windows xp machine and the usb utility is just giving me a choice between mtp and ptp, both of which wont allow me to copy files between xp and the phone's sd card.
Under settings > wireless & networks> more > usb utilities, I can choose usb mass storage, yet when i select to turn on usb storage, it just doesn't register it clicks and nothing happens.
Additionally, even though i set all permissions when first installed, mobile odin won't load saying superuser access could not be acquired. So i go into superuser and indeed it shows zero apps with superuser access.
I am at a loss as to how to go about getting this xxkp8 off my phone given that the phone no longer wants to exchange files and folders with my pc?
Please give me a clue, even if its a nod to a thread which will help me, I am suffering from information overload trying to find what i need through the forum.
If any more info is required please don't hesitate to ask.
I will include the following info if it helps:
android 4.0.3
baseband 19100XXKE7
kernel 3.0 13 - 19100XXKP8 - CL42141
build IML74K
Have a look at the CM9 development thread. There are driver downloads (first post) available. MTP not working is a known problem. As a last resort flash a stock ROM through Odin and start again?
Many thanks for the heads up mate, trying to sift through the information on here is a proper challenge for one small of brain lol
appreciate the patience and the help!!
If you simply want to go back. Instead of flashing via Cwm. Flash via odin. I had similar problem. My mass storage would not mount but it paired with odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
you should flash KPA follow my guide and you will have no problems, its very stable and video/flash everything works on it , plus it ha Swype

You should try CM9 .. its the best ICS ROM for SGS2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410400
Can anyone download for me the latest firmware with WiFi security fix from here? I need RUU_HTC Gratia_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.37.405.11_Radio_47.54.35.20_7.13.35.13_release_223105_signed.exe file, but download seems locked for me, don't know why.
I just tried to download the RUU but it seems that the file is missing. Either they have removed it or it is temporarily unavailable.
Maybe somebody downloaded it and has it saved and can could upload it
What are the 6th and 7th characters in your device serial number? Those two characters are what identify which device you have. It says there is no update necessary for my serial number (which is an AT&T Aria, device code R0).
I have a Gratia, I think that's why it gives us different results. 6th and 7th places are "RJ". This is what I get when I enter my SN. When I click the download button I get a 404

"RJ" is that characters. (for example, H T 1 2 8 R J 0 0 5 1 8, it's not my serial, but leads to the same update)
And yes, branded devices wouldn't get that update, they'll get it later.
Seems that file is absent on HTC's servers for some reasons. Well, I had reported to HTC support, and they could not say anything certain about it, just "contact to service center".
Yes, they don't like to make it easy to get certain RUUs sometimes.
If you load the frame in a new tab and click the download button it gives me this URL but still a 404.
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/\WiFi se...54.35.20_7.13.35.13_release_223105_signed.exe
Yep, i've found it already. Thanks nevertheless.
For now i'll wait for HTC support's answer.
Any news on this one?
gooooooooooood

I've continued conversation with support. Firstly they've sayed that that update is unapplicable to my russian Gratia, and i should go to the service center if i have any wifi issue. After some explanations (about unavailable update to non-russian but still european phones) they've promised to report to their engineers, and still recommended to contact service center. I don't know what to think about it. The situation looks pretty stupid for now. They have that update and i even know it filename (whoa!) but they don't want me to get that file for some reason.
I can only try to install stock rom to my Gratia and try to get FOTA update, if it's present as FOTA. But i don't think that it'll be successfull. BTW i can loose S-OFF in that case.

I hope you realize that the "wifi security fix" just fixes a software bug in Sense UI. If you are running a custom ROM that is not based on HTC's Sense UI, there is no reason to apply the update.
I know, dude. I'm even use modified CM on Gratia instead of stock rom. But some times ago for some people i've made custom rom (that was based on sense) and i want to keep it updated.
Hi, anyone have this rom -> Gratia_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.37.405.11_Radio_47.54.35.20_7.13.35.13_release_223105_signed.exe if yes plese upload it! I have RUU_Liberty_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.32.405.1_Radio_47.52.35.18_7.13.35.05_release_154177_signed.exe
Nobody have this ROM yet. Download link is still broken.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
Hi,
Has anyone got this file from the HTC website
its for HTC Gratia,
RUU_HTC Gratia_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_2.37.405.11_Radio_47.54.35.20_7.13.35.13_release_223105_signed.exe
Update is available through link in first post. HTC fixed it.
Hello folks,
I have been reading threads here in xda for a long time and I would like to thank you all for providing me information that I need in everything tech. But now I can't find any viable solution on here so I'm posting my first thread.
I have been trying to flash my Lumia 800 RM-01 with all the steps necessary to make it flash but it wont. I will not even highlight the start button and the box on the lower right portion of NCS is grey. I made sure all the files are correct and loaded in their respective folders and was also renamed to the correct product code.
attached here is a screencap of the problem.
I hope you would take time to figure this out because I have been trying all that I can to resolve this. I just hope it's not something so simple that I would kill myself for over looking it.
Thanks and More power:laugh:
The app should be online, I think you are using obsolete version. Open NCS and search for updates from the inside of the app.
At software status i have "not upgradable".
what does that mean?that i can't flash the rom?
thanks !
