I use a Provider firmware ver. S5830BOKB1, which i believe is much stable than any other version but this doesn't include updated apn-config.xml file [located in /system/etc/apn-config.xml ]. So I had to manually configure my APN.
Now, I got the updated file here. I found that the apn-config.xml file should be pushed using ABD which is quite complex for me to do.
Is it possible to put this in a update.zip file and update?

Hello,
I'm trying to install Bell's gingerbread update for my Atrix but it appears I'm missing the / preinstall / app / "Gameloft_3games.zip" file. I have the bell system dump downloaded that contains all the apps and other random stuff but I cant seem to find the gameloft_3games.zip file. Can someone help me out here?? Maybe share their file with me or maybe tell me what the zip contains so I can try and build a new one?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue, I've tried OTA and offline install, also tried modding the update zip to remove the gameloft_3games.zip, but the file is signed and the verify fails...
apk files
I tried creating a zip file and inside of it, I put the apks of the 3 demo gameloft games that came stock with the phone. It didn't work, So I tried making another zip and I dumped every single file in it from the / app folder renaming it to gameloft_3games.zip and that never worked either. So theirs obviously some other kind of files in there that we need...
exact same problem someone please help!
edit: you guys found a solution yet? i've been told on other forums that i think it is the rooting method we used that removed that gameloft file.. i think apparently ATT phones don't need that file or something..so i'm trying to figure out how to get that file back now..
If you do some searching for gameloft_3dgames.zip you'll find a zip of the stock 2.2.2 files available for download. I was able to push the gameloft_3dgames.zip to /data/local/tmp/, remount /preinstall/ read/write, copy it in there, set permissions to 644, remount read-only, reboot, and then apply the update successfully.
Good luck!

Hi I'm running a Roggers rom for the LG P925 and I'm trying to use a custom apns-conf.xml file but I can't seem to get the rom to read these values.
By default the APNs that are displayed are the Roggers APN.
These APN values are not in the default apns-conf.xml but seem to be set via a apk called Flexprovider.apk. If I replace the default apns-conf.xml with a custom apns-conf.xml and select “reset to default” it always reloads the Roggers APN list.
If I remove the Flexprovider.apk and reset to default then the APN list is blank. Putting the apk back gives the APN list again.
I have also replaced the Flexprovider and apns-conf.xml with ones from a similar rom that gives me the APNs I’m after but still the APN stay blank.
I don’t know much about this (only want I have research on the web) but it look almost to me that there is a switch that is telling this rom not to read the apns-conf.xml file and use the Flexprovider files instead.
Has anyone else seen this before?
After a bit more digging and playing I found the answer, I needed to copy another directory over.
so to get this to work I needed to
Replace the flexprovider in \system\apps
Replace Flex folder in \system\etc
Replace apns-conf.xml in \system\etc
attached in the replacement app, folder and config if anyone else needs it

A little bit late here....
how did you find out that the apns were set from the flexprovider.apk?

he is wrong
u do not need any apk's and ****
just copy/replace the apns-conf.xml and then go to APN and from menu choose : "restore to default"
it will force load your new xml.reboot the phone
Hi Everyone!
I'm posting this here since I don't have posting privileges in the development area.
I have converted my Korean Galaxy Tab 10.1 as explained in the development section in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360588&page=5
to a 7510.
Everything worked fine.
Just one tiny problem I am experiencing:
My Wifi reception has greatly decreased after the conversion.
I noticed this imediately after the conversion but hoped it would "go away" once I had rooted the Tab an installed a modded ROM.
Unfortunately this was not the case.
Does anyone of you other "converters" have any experience with this problem or am I the only one?
best regards an looking forward to your answers

Happy new year to everyone!
Well, since noone seems to have my problem I looked into the files myself.
The wifi drivers and their configuration files are located in /etc/wifi of the system image.
I flashed the korean shw-m380w original version and did a backup using CWM. I then did the same with the original gt-p7510 version.
When I compared the filesizes I noticed differences and the content of the configuration files were different as well.
So I just replaced the contents of the european wifi folder with the contents of the korean one. I had to use a linux shell, since the file permissions need to be saved.
I copied the newly created system tar file into the CWM backup directory of the european version, adapted the the md5 hash in the same directory for the new system tar file and went into CWM and did a restore.
Worked like charm. I'm back to my old, much better, wifi reception performance.
I don't know if this is the fastest an easiest method but it worked....
best regards

i have same problem with you. can you please explain to me step by step how to fix the wifi like you did?
Hi Everyone!
I have done some more experimenting.
Since I wanted to install different Android Versions and different Kernels and the fact that the Kernel Drivers are always compiled to work with only one particualer Kernel, I needed to find a way to improve Wifi reception without having the korean drivers.
I acomplished this by just pasting the config file nvram_net.txt from the korean Android into the directory /system/etc/wifi.
I renamed the original file to nvram_net.txt.orig and pasted, Afterwards I adjusted the permissions to be the same as the ones of the original file and rebooted.
This has worked with every Android Version I installed so far.
I have attached a Screenshot of the directory and the nvram_net.txt file of the korean tab.
I hope I can help somone with this.
To me it seems that the korean tab has just a slightly different Wifi Hardware than the P7510.
best regards

After lots of reading XDA and using the many tweaks and fixes one can find here (thanks!) I ran into a problem I can't seem to solve.
I'm modifying a custom ROM (by www.jiayu.es --> version 20131203-000001) for the Jiayu G4B (basic 1/4 3000mah) for use in the Netherlands. I already applied some fixes (GPS-fix, APN-settings, SMS-fix, add some APKs) and created a flashable zip file for use with CWM (thanks to dsixda kitchen).
One thing I can't seem to implement is the replacement of modem.img (in system/etc/firmware) with an updated version that fixes frequent drops of the connection to the network. This fix is documented on the dutch site tweakers.net.
The original fix is quite simple: you just replace modem.img (using a file explorer) with the updated one, straighten out the file permissions and reboot the phone. The thing is I don't want to have to do this manually everytime I flash a new ROM, and furthermore it's fun to learn how to customize my own ROM.
So I thought I could just replace modem.img in my working folder with the newer one and be done with it. Problem is that after I flash the ROM containing the new modem.img both my sims remain offline and the only way to go online again is by restoring a CWM backup.
I already checked the file permissions and they are correct. Unfortunately google also couldn't help me find the answer. Does any here have an idea how to solve this?

So did you ever find the solution to this problem??? Did it involve taking the battery out immediately after you flash the ROM with the desired modem.img?
No it was never solved, I gave up after a while.
I don't have the phone anymore, so I can't test your solution.

having that kinda problem, thinking to replace system.img 1st with push adb, then use dd if=...of=.. not sure if gonna work
I see an OTA is available for Verizon. Does anyone have the update.zip file? Im using TWRP and cannot find it anywhere..
THanks in advance
I have downloaded the OTA and have not applied it yet. The only thing is that I do not know what the file is named and I do not know where on my phone it downloaded to. I do know that when I go to status in the software update section of settings, I see that he following file failed to download at an earlier time. HTC_HTC6600LVW_3.09.605.2_R_3.09.605.3_R2, but if I search that file name using Es file manager, I do not find it. If someone knows where I can find it on my phone I will gladly upload it. I also need to find it so I can use TWRP to install it.

I believe that it will have to be repacked and signed and Im not sure how to do that.. hopefully someone will know how to..
