Woo, got reboot whilst on power.

Doh! Thats a shame. I haven't noticed any reboots, but it could have done overnight. Difficult to tell. I'll test it tonight and leave some apps running. On another point I do have problems charging my phone at the moment. Sometimes its stops charging beofre the battery is full. Its plugged in but does nothing, no charge simbol. Its strange and random. anyone else had this issue (only seems with 2.1 roms) but could be a hardware fault with my phone/charger.

Quick Question:

Would this stop me from upgrading to a newer official software in the future?

From the newer no...but you cant go back to older ones ex...December T-mobile update

Do all the custom ROMS still work

and could I use this update.app in the same way as the December 09 (ie. restoring if something goes wrong)?

All the custom ROM's are working...and yes you can use it the same way as the December update

There is a possibility of that. But we don't know for sure!!

For example, when T-Mobile UK produce their next update they must list which previous firmware versions can be updated. In order for the updata.app file to install, your firmware version must be in that list otherwise it will be rejected. We can pretty much assume they will list the following firmware versions:-

U8220V100R001GBRC85B116SP01 (T-Mobile UK, November 2009 firmware)

U8220V100R001GBRC85B118SP01 (T-Mobile UK, December 2009 firmware)

etc.

But they have no reason to list U8220V100R001C125B249SP01 which is a different carrier, it's 3 Sweden, Hutchinson 3G firmware. By installing that updata.app file you are installing the 3 Sweden Android 1.5 firmware and you might not be able to install any T-Mobile updata.app files anymore. You WILL still be able to install Android ROMs in update.zip format but perhaps not the T-Mobile updata.app firmware updates.

It seems i find the answer for my question

So no any way back?

I guess your theory is wrong!

If that would be the case why did 3 Sweden, (Hutchinson 3G firmware) like you said, include the T-Mobile 2009 December Update into their list of versions which can be updated?!

I don't know why, but they did.

You can use this Perl script to extract the contents of the updata.app file. One of the files extracted is called 'upgradable_versions.txt'.

That list in the 3 Sweden Hutchinson updata.app contains the following:-

U8220V100R001C01B270

The versions starting with U8220V100R001C85B*** are all T-Mobile (C85) Why have they been included? I don't know. And I've no idea which carrier the C01 versions are (U8220V100R001C01B***), perhaps that just means generic.

For some reason, that Hutchinson 3G firmware had listed T-Mobile versions as being acceptable for upgrading. But will future T-Mobile updates list U8220V100R001C01B255 ??

BTW, I've just discovered that updata.app file actually has a firmware ID of U8220V100R001C01B255 which perhaps isn't so bad as it's generic and not Hutchinson 3G. I had initially assumed it was U8220V100R001C125B249SP01 because of the filename. But I'm still concerned that T-Mobile might not list it as being upgradeable.

About to finally jump to 2.1 and failed at the first hurdle....

I have applied the first ROM (the 1.5) and it has worked, going back to vanilla (was 1.8 before) but volume up + red key and switch on either:

Boots normally (sd card removed)

Says update failed (sd card inserted - even after formatting the sd card)

Booting normally with s card inserted is fine....I am very confused!

Any ideas?

EDIT: Nvm......just had an epiphany!! Its volume down not volume up :rolleyes:

EDIT2: Also got the touch screen not functioning but just carried on and it was ok again once 2.1 was loaded.

I still have the lines in my photos when taken with the camera.

This is after applying the vibration fix and going to (Starkos') 2.1.

In addition to the above, 2.1 still has the gallery* bug where it doesn't support screen rotation (screen goes all screwy).

*Note this is NOT the default gallery that comes with the phone, it's the 2.1 Nexus version.

There is a newer version of the gallery, it's not a problem with our phone. I thought so as well but then I found the newer version and it's good. I posted it on the Systematic cleanup of errors thread you can download it. Cheers!

Thanks igor, I had that version of the gallery before I applied the vibration fix. As you said yourself, when the phone rotates it just restarts the gallery application (at the root of all the folders), which isn't really very useful for me.

I found that the rotation detection is over sensitive, it keep rotating even I am holding the phone in portait position running android market/any other apps

But I rarely use landscape anyways and disabled the rotation.

The spirit level when using GPS status seems fine though

Is it possible to have a custom rom on a phone after applying this! I mean with working a2sd?

I tried to flash both roms on my phone but in both cases first touchscreen did not work, when I fixed that with superboot and different boot.img I noticed that I can not install any app from the market or the sd due to insuficient memory. I tried fixing ext partition but that did not help. Is there a way to do this and am I doing something wrong? Pleasee anyone?

If you are using 1.7 Modaco vanilla you need to upgrade your SD partition to ext3 or ext4.........
