How to fix a bricked Behold! (Version 2.0)

No problem. Didn't want you guys to lose hundreds of dollars from bricking your phones. Hope this gets around to the ppl that bricked their phones a while back...

yeah unfortunately the lock screen images are locked down under multiple redundancies. No one has yet found the other locations in the firmware, but what we do know is its not in the factory.ffs file, which is the only file set we can edit...for now. you can also replace telenav with amaze gps which will then launch with the telenav widget however it still says telenav in the app list and the icon is still the telenav icon. doing this though can be risky and may require reflashing your phone with original firmware. i have heard of resarting issues once this change is made...as in phone restarts randomly, though i myself haven't experienced this. long story short making this change really isn't all it cracked up to be and really comes off amateurish as far as looks. if you still want to try though there are brief instructions on the eternity forum, basically just replace the jar and jad inside the app. if you don't know what you're doing don't bother. happy modding!

toast you coulda post this like 2 months ago wen my behold got bricked but i just did your steps and now i have two beholds and you coulda saved me 110 bucks but is cool i have two im cool 

negative they're are completely different right down to the hardware wouldn't work

Lower volume?  It's the power button while already holding down the lock and camera buttons.

im really curious of how you and or this person got this Rom to flash the behold.
there has to be some more insight/detail on how this was achieved so that way people with newer version can dump and post for others to upgrade/flash and customize etc...  if you could be so kind on how this was done that would be great.

i have searched all over and same with the f480 no one posts on how they dumped/ripped the rom from the phone and its getting a bit frustrating. if you and or anyone could shine some light on this that would be great. and please dont post something about using TKExplorer thats not even close to what im talking about.

Thanks,

Sell one on ebay xD
Sry I posted it the first thing I heard about someone using Behold firmware for an experiment on the Eternity site. I knew you guys were lacking it, so I posted this. Also, I like your movies section, so I decided to give some love back to you guys.


The firmware does not include "The Sims" or whatever apps you have, so dumping your current one would do nothing. Also, any firmware loading, even if it was the same version, will delete all previous phone data. Sorry. You can upload the .jar and .jad from TK File Explorer, though, or bitpim, whatever you use.


The Tocco? I think there is firmware for it...

Now why do you need to know how they dumped the ROM? You can always use someone else's firmware to edit... BUT I am breaking a rule (sorry!) and posting a link to another forum that shows how to dump a ROM from another samsung phone: http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/1018461-1.html
(this uses physical keys though... you could try using the power/volume down buttons at the same time, or other combinations might work?)




Could one of you guys give this a sticky? This would be useful if someone comes crying about their bricked phone to the forum and they need to find this fast.
