How to convert to Ext4
First make a Nandroid Backup via CWM.
Download the Ext4 convertor script here.
Copy it to the root of the External Sd Card of the Phone.
Go to Recovery.
Flash the Ext4 Script. (Pl. Do not reboot the phone after this)
Restore the Nandroid backup immediately.
Reboot and enjoy Ext4.

what is this nandroid backup via CWM??

yup, for the video, movie, pictures all same. but the contact since i backup before tat so am not sure abt it..
it's no harm doing a failsafe i think, just backup contact and pic la.. won't take much time

btw i just found out tat my phone memory status revert back to original internal and external storage after upgrade.. ==

Good to hear that you made it. I started from scratch, from dxkf1 then only flash dxkp9 cause both firmwares are from same region.
You put the cf root file into pda section. The guides in xda forum is sufficient
Should be less than 5 minutes

i think i know where went wrong, i go to download the pit file in 1st page of this thread and run it before putting the root file to pda, what can i do to recover my phone now? seriously need help shocking.gif

Restart the whole process including the pit, pda, csc, modem etc?
Dxkf1 firmware has all the files, excluding the boot loader

i flashed to xxkb3 then back to dxkb2, but no luck when wanna upgrade to dxkb9 through kies. it say the version of firmware i using can't b upgrade????

Thanks for the advice smile.gif

So, all are in consensus that 2.3.5 brings better GPS performance?  For those who agree:

1)  May I know how you determine a GPS lock (other than use GPS Test)?
2)  Did you upgrade at service center or yourself via Kies?

Thanks.

1.i just test it with papago x5, unbelievable! 7s to get voice navigation command in my house..
2.update by kies should b fine if you previously nvr flash any rom to your phone b4, it's just plug and wait..
