And thanks a lot :)

Same, on a retail unit bought at Phones 4 U yesterday in the UK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
I really wish I had the flashable version of that! Seems I have a newer one, but I need multiple retail kernels to fix this. Now have some pre-retail kernels, but these use a different method ....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmmm:
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if the bootloader is unlocked, can't you just change default.prop to allow root? If you can change all the software running on the phone it should be trivial to get root. (Unless you're trying to get root without fastboot oem unlock or something.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
The problem is you got to patch the kernel for that. And the kernel repacker is having some issues with the SGS2 kernel.

So we can't flash such a patched kernel yet. Either way, that way of rooting is a bad bad evil thing. Superuser with confirmation is the way to go, so we're trying that. They both require the same modifications, though :)

Any updates on root. My galaxy s II is on the way, will post details when I get it.

Best bet is to use the kernel from samfirmware, because then we can all flash the firmware and have root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
Re: root, working on it, but still can't get a hacked kernel to actually boot. Still something wrong with the kernel repackager.

As for which firmware to use, I started out with KDD (same as SF has) yesterday, but have since switched to KDA. I hope to get it to boot soon, in which case that will be released.

However you should keep in mind, I don't actually have the device, so these things are tested by mailing to others over the internet, waiting for results, re-do from start, etc. Max 1 test / 2 hours. If I had the device myself I probably would have fixed it hours and hours ago.

If I do release a root before I have the device myself, I will only release one specific kernel. And that is IF. I will probably be away from my dev PC for about 10 days starting tomorrow night, so if it's not working by then, well ... There's still supercurio and paulobrian and a number of other hackers on here who probably will attempt and/or succeed to do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh2311:
Where are you getting your sources from, because according to a post by supercurio not everything has been released so kernels cannot be hacked yet

This is a new device.. The first to actually include hardware crypto in the SoC.

I though Sammy would sign their bins for this one.

Soo.. how would my question change because of what you have done earlier on other hardware?

When that is said, I didn't question your 'skillz' anyway, just asked genuine questions...

But nice work anyways:p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
They leaked last week or so that they would allow custom kernels. Yes, they did sign their stuff but it is easy to remove the signatures. As the bootloaders are not locked, this is not a problem.

Maybe a dumb question but I can't find help. I hav vegan ginger rc1 and installed clemsons 1.5 overclock kernel. About info shows the right kernel. Installed setcpu and cant get it over 1000mhz.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gifton1:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm not sure about Clemsyn's, but with pershoots you have to set the 'Device Selection' to Custom, not Tegra2.

Then you can scale it up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumdumdude:
When you opened SetCPU and it asked what processor you have, did you select Tegra 2? If so you need to go into the SetCPU settings and select the device again. This time scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a button for custom clocks. Choose it and you should be able to go above the 1Ghz limit.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dueces99:
Unless you have pershoots latest, then you wanna select "Auto" in SetCPU

im running rc1 as well. which overclock am i supposed to download? i downloaded the clemsyn1.5gingerextra and med and using setpcu app. according to setpcu, i chose the custom clock and it won't let me set it past 529MHz... but if i change the device to tegra2 i can get it back to 1GHz... did i do something wrong? TIA
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Clemsyn's kernel doesn't work too well with ginger. You need to use Pershoot's. Remember, Froyo use Clemsyn's, Ginger use Pershoot's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
I saw this on another forum here at xda. They suggested changing how the radio changes networks in the test menu.

Goto dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*

In one of the menus you will see options for cell networks, change it to "GSM/cdma auto".

Default is wcdma preferred. Report back your findings if you change this and want to contribute. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] saabster900:
I will check this out.......ty
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Uhhh we don't have cdma.... Gsm only would be a better choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
If I change it and leave the menu open it changes. But as soon as I close the menu no matter the choice made it reverts the change.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Keep in mind that making this change will ruin your download speeds. One of the great things about the Inspire is it supports HSPA (which is what AT&T is calling "4G"). HSPA is an extension of WCDMA. If you drop down to CDMA/GSM you will take a big speed hit.

To confirm my suspicions, I temporarily changed my phone to GSM/cdma auto using the method in the OP. Download speeds dropped from 3Mb/s to 800 Kb/s.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Uhhh, yeah we do.

Umts, hspa, hspa+ are all part of the wcdma standard.

Set to wcdma preferred.

[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
Yea my speeds haven't dropped at all by switching.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rotchcrocket04:
Averages:

WCDMA Preferred: 1.1Mbps Down 0.15Mbps Up

GSM/CDMA Auto: 0.25Mbps Down 0.09Mbps Up

My speeds are miserably slow. I really have to look into editing the build.prop file to try and at least get something worthwhile out of this phone.

:(
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
GSM PRL Auto does not take away your 3G, it just supposedly captures the proper PRL and does not search for other 3g networks as WCDMA preferred would do, hence supposedly saving battery life while still using the 3g network. there's a good explanation of it in the nexus one forum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
cdma =/= wcdma
[HTC Inspire 4G] FirefighterDown:

I've done what you said and now get this:

And I cannot change the settings back to fix it. The phone won't get signal now and is stuck on GSM PRL Auto !

This is not the fault of the OP. Changing these settings will NOT crash your phone. You had an underlying issue already. It just happened to come out with these changes.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhenya13:
Hi all,

I'm sort of new to this. I've been using clockworkmod recover for a while now. Mostly to back up and restore. I want to try to load the stable CM7 rom or maybe some other rom that supports A2sd+ but I saw that at least CM7 recommends a newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery.

Right now I have 2.5.0.9. It's also the one that shows up in Rom Manager.

But I've seen here and other forums that people are now unto 3.0.0.5 and even beyond (I saw 3.0.2.4 on the CM forum)

So my question is what is the latest version of ClorkworkMod for the CDMA desire and how do I get it?:confused:

I saw an article on addictivetips.com that suggested renaming the new version to the name of the old one (2.5.0.9) and placing in in the Rom Manager folder on the SD and then flashing from Rom Manager thus fulling it into flashing a newer version.

Some, forums have guides on how to do that using adb and yet others have it as a zip file that can be flashed from the hboot.

Whats the best and I guest simplest way to get the new version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foalsrock:
Did you actually run into trouble with your current CWM trying to setup CM7?

The wiki states no problem using the version you currently have - 2.5.0.9.

If you do want to upgrade, you should follow this post.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhenya13:
Yep. thats exactly the forum I was referring to when I mentioned 3.0.2.4

Although I was not able to flash it using the PB99IMG.zip. Probably should ask there about that.

I did flash CM7 but,

here is what's weird: I tried the method where you fool the rom manager into flashing a newer recover outlined here.

Got the 3.0.2.4, but then when I went back into the Rom manager and hit reboot into recovery, it boots me into 2.5.0.9.

If I just press the power button, select reboot, and reboot into recovery I get 3.0.2.4. It's like I have two recovery images loaded.

I wiped the phone restored my nandroid backup of the stock rom I get 2.5.09.

Wipe again, as always everything data, cache, and dalvik. Load CM7 again. And the same thing two recoveries depending on how I reboot into it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhenya13:
P.S.

1. Happy Passover, חג שמח.

2. forgot to say: if I power down and boot into Hboot with vol down + power and then go into recovery I get into 3.0.2.4
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foalsrock:
Do you happen to have your phone S-OFF?

If so, a simple solution might be to flash the 3.0.2.4 recovery .img file using "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" @ hboot.

But you shouldn't S-OFF just for this as I'm not sure it'll actually resolve what you're experiencing.

It's a pretty odd situation and I think I better not give you advice which could potentially worsen it.

I'd seek help in the thread linked in the CM forums or hope that someone else might notice this post.

חג שמח! =)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhenya13:
I do have S-OFF, how would I flash this in Hboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foalsrock:
This is assuming you have the Android SDK all set up on your computer (if not, read through the wiki).

Boot into the bootloader, type "fastboot devices". If you see your device listed - continue flashing by typing "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhenya13:
Where should I put the img file? just to the root of the SD card?

תודה רבה
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foalsrock:
You should have the recovery .img file on your pc when flashing via fastboot
[Nook Color General] empthollow:
I restored to stock and update my nook color to 1.2.0. YAY flash works! This will properly root using nooter 0.2 This of course only enables adb so if you have to manually install all the programs you want. One downside if you like the stock launcher(user interface) is the installed programs do not show in the new 'apps' menu. Also, make sure you install nook color tools from the auto-nooter. Debuging does not stay on after you reboot and the program will enable you to do so. Also, you will need another launcher such as ADW to access your programs.
[Nook Color General] Zhenya13:
I have a rooted Nook Color with stock 1.1 Rom and clockworkmod recovery installed.

Will the new update be pushed to me automatically, or do I have to manually install it.

If I have to do it manually do I do it per the instructions on B&N website or some other way using clockworkmod recover?
[Nook Color General] empthollow:
I believe you have to do it manually. I read that you can do it with CWR. The person who did it said it froze or something on the first boot but a reboot fixed it. Search '[ROM 1.2] nook color' on xda for instructions thread.
[Nook Color General] ice_man01:
I was wondering, once auto-rooters are released, will you still be able to use the apps you got from B&N? There are one or two I'd buy, but want to make sure I can still root and use them. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] chibucks:
i'd assume they'd be tied into your b&n account - similar to your books - you can redownload any of your books that you purchased previously.

edit: btw, thanks OP for the heads up on nooter 0.2 - i'm back to where i was at with autonooter and root with 1.1 (minus gapps, which i haven't played with yet)... a lot more tedious doing things manually. running adw launcher pro as my launcher.

Amazon market works, but I had to install the angry birds apk using adb. I read there are problems installing apk's bigger than 4M. I suspect this may have something do to with that issue.

I don't have market working yet but it looks like someone did it with a specific market version and nookie-froyo-gapps. It also looks like auto-nooter will be out soon. I will be doing manual because I'm very anal about not having unnecessary software on my devices. :D

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadratx:
What's the deal....syncing is sporadic at best.

Anyone know the trick yet?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyoteqwik:
You need to go into settings then applications and clear all data on browser, then sync and should work fine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
Yup, I have the trick you're looking for. After some trial and error, I figured this out. Its essentially a method by which one can refresh the saved attributes (in this case bookmarks) across all Google/Chrome outlets:

1) On your desktop, open Chrome and sort out your bookmarks as you would like them.

2) Then, in Chrome, on the menu bar under "Chrome", go to "Synced...", and click "Stop syncing this account", and then click the pop up to "Stop syncing".

3) Right after that, in the same location, click "Set Up Sync..." (you'll be prompted to sign in to your Google account, so do it). Once you've signed in, you'll be prompted again; this time, check off the Bookmarks option as the item you'd like to sync (no need to check off anything else. Leave the other option for Google Account password ticked as it was.

4) Click "OK" and presto, your bookmarks will be refreshed across all Google/Chrome devices or browsers. At this point you can check your XOOM to verify that those bookmarks have updated.

Its too bad they don't have a slightly easier option for doing this, but its not bad and it works. And the best part is you don't have to do a thing on the XOOM to make this happen (i.e. no wiping of browser data like saved passwords, etc.) So every time you'd like to tweak your bookmarks, or change the order of them as they appear in your XOOM's bookmark list, I have found that this is the best method you should follow.

Enjoy! :cool:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
The method I've detailed above is the best way I've found to truly get this to work; I've tried your method with extremely mixed results on many occasions.

EDIT - oh and by the way by your method you'll clear out any saved passwords for websites, etc, so if you want to keep any of those, this might not be a great idea. Just an FYI ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadratx:
ok, tried this and it synced my bookmarks bar and one of my & bookmark folders. Any suggestions for getting the other 5 folders to get synced?

Strange that its a partial sync. Its almost as if the sync process is time limited. Couple more milliseconds and it would be complete. Just speculating

By the way, I did get a full sync a couple of weeks ago. But a FC requred killing the cache and I accidentally killed the saved data too. PITA
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
Well the only thing I have now figured to do, with regard to utilizing the "Other Bookmarks" folders is to 1) populate your bookmarks bar with everything you'd like, and then 2)long press on the bookmark(s) you'd like to place in the "Other Bookmarks" folder, then click "Edit", and at that point you can select the location where you'd like this bookmark to appear. Once its there, if at any point you want to change the order of any of your bookmarks, you'd have to come back into Chrome on the desktop and take care of it there (followed by the syncing procedure I already outlined). Again, hopefully Google will come up with an easier method than this eventually :rolleyes:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaydave:
I had the same problem and got hold of the developer of chromemarks who informs me that its Google "throttling" the amount of bookmarks synched!

In Chrome, you can you goto the addess "about:sync" (no quotes) and you

should get some stats. Then you look for the "Unsynched count"

My original count on synch start was: 3,085

Mine shows today: Unsynced Count - 2,320

It is generally going down around 50 to 100 per day! So I will be waiting for some months before I get all my bookmarks synched!

All the best,

Cheers,
