You cant get the boot.img with an unlocked one either I have got 2 one locked one open.

why do you need the boot.img for root?

rooting the system should be sufficient

Agreed, but id like to try and install CW and get a proper recovery screen sorted.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
A custom recovery would be awesome. However, the Play doesnt seem to have a recovery partition.
[Xperia Play Android Development] johnsongrantr:
not stock, but you can always make one, other SE devices don't have a *proper* recovery because they didn't have full access to the bootloader.

I'm curious what mode holding the back button on while plugging in the device, it appears to be different than holding search
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Yep, it seems to be another kind of flash mode, altho I wasn't able to get any response out of the device with the usual fastboot and/or adb commands.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
Hopefully this might be recovery mode. And that would open for custom recovery. Allthough I didnt find recovery partition, this might be because that MTD block is hidden. Root may show :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] krook6023:
I thought I should jump in here and clarify a few things. Bounty threads are allowed here at XDA as long as no donations are given up front. Meaning what you are doing here is just fine, as long as no one is "collecting" the donations up front.

A bounty thread can motivate development.

So...people who want to participate should NOT DONATE now they should PLEDGE and when you feel that the goal has been met THEN donate to the developer directly.

XDA will not mediate disagreements about these matters...so you do this at your own risk.

Have fun!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Meister_Li:
Thanks for clearing that up - that's how I planned it, actually. As soon as someone accomplishes root, I'll send my donation his way and I hope that others will too!
[Xperia Play Android Development] gnasher666:
that works as I hoped it would. I'm good for the money once root access is available.

Personally, I think root will be a lot harder than cfw as it will potentially allow access to parts of the software Sony don't want you playing with.

fingers crossed some clever person finds an exploit sooner rather than later.

[Xperia Play Android Development] johnsongrantr:
Just spent an hour on the phone with sony ericsson trying to get a direct link to the recovery image to no avail.

I got 20 usd for the person who gets me a copy of that recovery image.

Once you get me that, I can make a kernel with root out of it ill give it away for free with instructions on how to flash it (given unlocked bootloader)

I wish I woulda did this myself before I unlocked my bootloader. Kinda frusterrated after dealing with their tech support.
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
I have a locked one still cant get img files,

Right im trying a system restore on the new one (locked bootloader) im hoping the recovery image will be downloaded onto the computer and i can extract from there, lets see huh/

well it restored but cant find the image, it's pissing me off now spent to long doing sh!t.

connected to the phone to ADB pushed SU no permission chmod busybox no permission, gahhh we need that boot.img or system.img but how the hell do we get it?!?

[Desire General] nixit:
I rooted my Desire using Unrevoked3 which flashed ClockworkMod to my phone. I tried and then failed to make a Nandroid backup. Looking at the error messages I realised that I have a PVT4 / erase size 40,000 model.

So I tried Unrevoked again and tried to flash AmonRa's recovery. I've tried it three times but the phone is still on CWM.

I want to play around with some different ROMS but would like to have a backup first.

What is the best way to get the ability to backup the phone? I have Titanium Backup Pro but understand that doesn't backup the Rom? Or should I just kiss the Rom goodbye and start flashing?
[Desire General] fragargon:
no i meet the same probleme and solved by using this one unrevoked 3.21 then i made a nand backup.

start alpharev to S-OFF and then you shoul be able to flash your recovery with fastboot

;)
[Desire General] ArmenianFlasher:
do a unroot and try to root your device again coz you have PVT4
[Desire General] ali_loly10:
stay on what you have right now if you need a nand backup

i had a similar issue and it was solved by making s-off and then flashing recovery through fastboot "fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img"
[Desire General] Tillus:
You cant use unrevoked when you are already rooted.

To flash a different recovery, follow this tutorial.:)

I wouldnt just tell someone to S-Off - there is a chance to brick your phone and unless you really want/need to (flash hboots for example) I wouldnt do it.
[Desire General] nixit:
Thanks Tillus, this sounds like what I need to do.
[Desire General] nixit:
So when I followed the instructions to flash_image I get the message that image is not found.

Checking around the place I see that possibly the flash_image command isn't supported in the stock ROM?

Should I use ROM Manager to flash AmonRA?
[Desire General] fragargon:
Hi, you shouldn t try to ash an another recovery while your phones is already rooted and cw on it. As I told I had the same issue. Phone rooted with cmw 2513 but unable to made I nand bkup. I just reload unrevoked which has cmw 2518 and succeed with nand bkup. It s only from that point I started the alpharev hboot. So be caution when using different (cmw or amon ra) recovery. I read lot of ppl bricked their phone doing so.

[Desire General] fragargon:
No you should not since, it will be a fake recovery... Once the phone rebooted, previous recovery would be there.

sorry for spamming , can't edit from xda app

Sent from my HTC Desire

edit: back to my computer, try with this one unrervoked 3.21 it install cmw 2518 with this one you should be able to nand bkup ;)
[Desire General] ghalalb:
fragargon is right, with your PVT4 Desire only certain recoveries work, they are AmonRa 2.0.1 and CWM 2.5.1.8.

There can be problems using unrevoked once you have applied it once and then try to use it a second time to flash a different recovery. Look for an apk called zysploit, uninstall this and try unrevoked again. If that doesn't work, then use fastboot (which is the easiest way to flash a recovery).

I have the same model, and got there in the end

| AmonRa 2.0.1 | PVT4 40000 S-Off Alpharev 1.8| HBoot 0.93.1000 | Radio 5.17.05.08 | LeeDroid 3.0.2 (A2SD) | HTC Desire A8181 | UOT Kitchen Mods |
[Desire General] nixit:
Great! I unistalled zysploit, then used unrervoked 3.21 to flash AmonRa 2.0.1. And it worked.

I now have a Nandroid backup and so I can embark on my new ROM journey. Thank you ghalalb and fragargon!

Can someone do me a favor and check on root explorer for pre install/and see if you have a recovery. Zip file in the pre install section. I wanna know if I need it there because I have a problem updating to 2.3 and it might be that
[Droid X General] razorloves:
yes. in /preinstall/recovery there is a recovery.zip file

just follow these instructions and you wont have any problems http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...3-3-4-5-588-install-patch-root.html#post68035

[Droid X General] razorloves:
yes, that file is part of koush's bootstrap install. not sure if it's ok to delete. why would you want to? what problem are you having?
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
because i keep getting an error when trying to install the ota gingerbread (not the leaked version) using stock recovery it says "error apply patch check system/bin/logwrapper" and i never flashed a rom on my phone or anything like that the only thing that my phone gave me trouble with was koushs bootstrap when trying to remove it cause it would always come up when i would boot up my phone. i fixed that problem using root explorer. although i deleted logwrapper from the preinstall section on accident thinking it was the system/bin/logwrapper which was the one i had to delete
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdog1171:
I have been doing the trial and error method for the past 6 days with roms, hopefully finally finding the one for me to stick with for a while. (otherwise my wife may either divorce me or start digging my grave in the backyard)

My question is how many Nandroid backups should I keep? I currently have three in the Nandroid folder I show through ES file explorer. Are these safe to delete all but the most recent? What is the easiest way to make a backup of my current rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
You can delete old ones so long as you know you have a solid one on there. You can also move themto your computer / external HDD to save space as they can add up. I keep a good one handy and store some other ones for various reasons.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Keep as many or as few as you want, or are limited by disk space.

If disk space is no concern, keep 'em all. For practical purposes, I'd keep the last 3 or 4. Append a meaningful description devoid of spaces to the bdes* directory name so you have some clue what's unique about that backup.

The most obvious feature of most roms is the way the UI is configured. Keep in mind, that using a third party launcher configured YOUR way, you can make almost any rom look like any other. Be more concerned with what's under the hood than pure appearance. I recently switched from the rom in my sig to cm7, but the UI is 99% unchanged because I'm using the same launcher I used in evio (adw ex). The difference is in the status bar, pull down, and most importantly battery life (better). ymmv
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
I have a good cm7 set up and a good mikefroyo set up. I always update the nandroid before I flash something new if the ROM im wiping out of is stable.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redandblack1287:
Running viperROM 5, went to clear my battery stats and hit clear dalvik on accident without realizing it. No big deal, went to boot up phone and it hung at the samsung screen for over 10 minutes so I just thought I would flash back to stock and reflash the ROM. The original reason I went to wipe battery stats was to calibrate my battery, which was almost dead. I switched to a spare that I thought was full, started odin, left the room, and came back to odin saying FAILED. Phone is completely unresponsive, the charge light will not even come on when I plug it into the wall or laptop. The computer does recognize when I plug it into the computer but it doesn't know what it is. Gonna sell it for parts on ebay unless someone here knows something I don't, thanks in advance =/

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMMusic:
I have heard, though never tried myself so take it as the unfounded rumor that it is, that it is possible to get the phone to boot in some fashion with the battery out of it, then insert the battery while it is on to "jump start" the charging.

I hope I never have to try it because it sounds like it has lots of potential for problems, but if your phone is well and truly dead what do you have to lose?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redandblack1287:
This actually worked! I can get into download mode, although I don't know if the battery is really charging or not. Either way I'm in good shape, I just don't understand why neither battery would boot into download mode when one of them had about 10% left.

Also this clearly belongs in Q and A, sorry!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Even without the battery as long as your phone is plugged in with the USB it should go into Download mode ... i think

[About XDA developers] Mourer09:
Hey all. Ever notice all these different devices we have here at xda. It's kinda hard to navigate sometimes when I'm looking for devices. Just a thought, maybe we should get them organized by manufacturer or something. It'd make browsing around the forums much easier and reduce a lot of cluster on the forums.

What do you think?

Try using "compact view" on the homepage to sort them better :)
[About XDA developers] Ferrari353:
I think it would be better organized if it was more like AndroidForums.com
[About XDA developers] muhmax:
nice idea...
[About XDA developers] Mourer09:
I agree with the compact view but it still leaves a lot of clutter among the list of devices. Now if it were sorted by the manufacturer it would make the initial forum page much smaller, maybe even only 10-15 sections. Or even for a little reorganization put the devices by the same maker all together instead of a mixed list. Cause the newest devices are at The bottom but are all still mixed among makers. It'd also make new members easier to navigate the forums when looking for their device.
[About XDA developers] ragingredbull:
Not sure I understand you. From what I can see on the site, I can search a device by OS or Manufacturer. I have a yellow Drop down menu in the top right side of the site that splits everything by brand or OS.
[About XDA developers] Mourer09:
Rageing you're saying the exact idea I was saying. Just how its sorted by os or mfg but if it was setup like that by default it makes a great first impression for new users and for fast easy searching among the forums
[About XDA developers] ivolol:
Categorising them by Manufacturer would make a lot of sense.

This would also help distinguish general forums from the device specific ones.

[About XDA developers] Xplorer4x4:
I am not very active on this site mainly because my old phone was never given a forum here(Moto Backflip) but wanted to comment anyways because I hope to be more active now that I have a D2G. Anyways in regards to this issue at hand, I am sorry to say but really? I dont mean to sound like a smart.. but you really expect people to read that? Much less for new members to find it..

I think maybe what people mean when they say sorting things by device is like this:

Motorola: Category

-Flipout(forum)

--General(sub-forum)

--Accessories(sub-forum)

--Development(sub-forum)

-Droid 2

--General(sub-forum)

--Accessories(sub-forum)

--Development(sub-forum)

Then if you set the sub-forums not to set on the forum index, this shortens the forum index substantially making it much quicker and easier to find your device. Like I said I am just assuming on that, so if I am wrong, this would be my suggestion on the matter.

I'm running Phiremod 5.3 on my Nook and was about to update to Phiremod v6, when I saw Mad-murdocks Tablet Tweak-thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002000)

The tablet tweaks are included in phiremod v6 (and the latest cm7

Tablet tweeks is a part of CyanogenMod. Phiremod is based on CM7 so it includes the tweeks.

I haven't looked at Phiremod but are there still icons and functions for phones on there?
