no need to buy a newer device with 2.1 or below. Even if someone wants to, they can get among the sony ericson devices. One can go for a latest gingerbread root friendly device.

excluding wildfire and aria, many other froyo android devices and even gingerbread devices are rootable.

--another point to consider here, as all of us know is, root (perma) depends on hboot security and not on the version of operating system (to be specific, in nand locked devices)
[Wildfire General] A$h x:
Oh, so hboot is not dependant on the android version? So you can have a 0.81 hboot on gingerbread 2.3.3 for example? Strange that they would use an outdated hboot with the latest android builds but there you go.
[Wildfire General] Necrodais:
They are working on it. I don't think that anybody should buy a new phone, because of the root thing.
[Wildfire General] mtnhan1996:
sorry because i what I said then. I don't know what I was thinking then.:o I didn't mean that . I just didn't know if they are really working on wildfire, or just other devices.( sorry if I'm wrong)
[Wildfire General] bx19:
lol, im not talking about the hboot version. I said root depends on hboot security and not hboot version. And that security depends on the manufacturer. For a single device, higher the hboot version the more secure it is. But for different devices they are not at all related.

Let us see few things.

--htc aria --------hboot 1.02 not yet rooted.

--htc wildfire ----hboot 1.01 not yet rooted.

--htc legend------hboot 1.01 rooted.

--htc desire & incredible --hboot 0.93 rooted.

--htc evo 4g -----hboot 2.10 rooted.

--htc hero --- has no nand security. so custom recoveries and custom roms can be easily flashed.

Wildfire and Aria have more security on the hboot.

Actually im sorry. I should have specified this. The process of rooting varies widely between different android devices. [It (permaroot) depends on hboot security and not on the version of operating system in NAND locked devices. And shell root or temp root will not depend on hboot]

If two different devices are running the same android version, then both the hboot versions are not likely to be the same. Check for example, Google Nexus One (root friendly device) is running official gingerbread with hboot 0.35 .

It is not like official froyo on wildfire works only with hboot 1.01. I think if htc really wants to, we might have even had gingerbread on wildfire with hboot 0.80. And we are now running gingerbread custom roms on wildfire hboot 0.80

And that should not be called "outdated hboots" for the latest builds. They are called less secure or more secure hboots.

[someone correct me if im wrong]
[Wildfire General] ilmastro:
To accord me unrevoked doesnt working on hboot of buzz froyo, so i used xtc clip to root it .

I bought the clip with a gda in italy.

Excusw for my english but i am italian.
[Wildfire General] Henkdrenth:
And don't forget the other possiblity for S-off, the pay as you go XTC clip.

That device should come on the market for a more reasonable price for 1 time unlockers.

They are testing it in beta, so just have a bit patience and if all is succesfull, order one and your problems are gone.
[Wildfire General] Lara_Shadow:
I am not able to understand why?

Are mobile companies dont want to users their root android phones?

If yes why ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Obviously they dont want to users do it. This is standard of all companies, even outside the Android universe. The two major reasons are to save their own headaches when users have various problems and issues owning to rooting / JB'ing their devices, and secondly, they want you to stick with the company provided featureset and not have new ones, so that, you will have to buy a new device if you want new features.

It's heartening to see a slight change in their (Some co's) approach though.

Hi There,

Has anyone noticed the a500 doesn't support channel 12/13 for UK?

This is proving quite irratating. Does anyone know how to enable this? In previous versions of android the regulatory settings could be controlled from the device settings but i can find no options. Does anyone know?

Shouldn't be too hard, my Tegra 2 Gtab supports all 14 channels, you just select 11, 13 or 14(Japan). It doesn't even ask where you are, just offers those three options for the amount of channels.

Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.16.0.0)

- Also flash the following RIL package: RIL 2.16 (NOTE: already included in the ROM)

12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.25.0.0)

- Also flash the following RIL package: RIL_2.25

but i don't know which one of the radio's i should install i also can't download the RIL_2.25 package (it says not found)

can I just install the other radio because it says the RIL 2.16 is included in the ROM?

and do I have to install an other version of CoreDroid if I do so?

thanks in advance

Hi there,

i'm only new at this too (i rooted my phone about 1 week ago now), so dont take my advice as being spot on, but i would go with 12.41.60.19 first & see how it goes. that way your not having to worry about finding the correct RIL or anything.

You can install other radio without any problem and you must try your self wich radio is best for you, because there is no such thing as "best radio". It depend on where you live and what company provide you gsm....

If so flash stock rom via Odin with pit and repartition checked .

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
If I were a betting person I'd say we're not far off an update of the market that will add a proper tablet specific section, just like itunes has for iphone/ipad apps, as any time an app is reported a few times that it's crashing/FC'ing in honeycomb, it seems to get blocked for tablet installations. So maybe it has something to do with a google reshuffle of the way apps are viewed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
You could be right but it is not affecting incompatible apps, it is any paid app, i have installed a few from your thread prior to this issue and now cannot install new ones you have added as compatible e.g. backup pro.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Yeah but I'd assume paid apps were on different servers, as they would have more encrypted data, so possibly one section could be affected while the other remains untouched during an upgrade.

Mmm... possibly, will have to wait and see, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Understanding Root Terms & Procedures

Understanding ROM’s and builds

A ROM is essentially a custom version of Android. They are developed by independent geniuses smarter than you and me. Each tweaks, combines, or optimizes Android to offer something standard versions lack. Within ROM’s, you have what are known as builds (basic branches of Android code) that offer certain features and characteristics.

Think of it as a crude metaphor for Microsoft Windows. There’s XP, Vista, and Windows 7. All three are Windows operating systems and can typically run the same programs, but there are major differences between them. Within each OS, there’s further distinction between Vista Home, Vista Pro, and Vista Ultimate. Likewise, one ROM can spawn multiple versions. For instance, there are several flavors of Drake’s Hero ROM..

Each developer creates his ROM with its own purpose and feature set. Just because something works in Cyanogen’s ROM doesn’t mean it can work in Drake’s (or more specifically that they want to implement the feature at all).

Be advised that some ROM’s require a wipe (erases all information stored on your phone) before or after installation. This is done when you enter the recovery mode and perform a “factory data reset.” Developers will say if a wipe is necessary whenever you flash (load/install) a ROM

Where To Download ROMs

You’ll notice that ROM threads begin with the “[ROM]” tag. you can download them from here :) ALWAYS read the instructions before attempting to load a ROM. Each contains critical instructions or requirements that can cause big trouble if not followed correctly. Be sure to read change logs/release notes (plainly stated notes written by developers to explain updates). They will reveal important information and point out new features.

Before loading a ROM, perform a backup!

Using Recovery images and Nandroid back-ups

You may remember the recovery image from the one-click process. You’ll also use the recovery image to change ROM’s, apply themes, backup your phone state, and perform other functions. To launch the recovery image, turn off your phone and reboot by pressing Home and Power at the same time.

Performing a backup is typically a good idea when you enter the recovery image to load a ROM. I try to backup my phone at least once every 3 times I update to a new ROM. Nandroid will backup your phone’s state, allowing you to return to the settings/state saved to your SD card. If something goes wrong, it can be your best friend. The Cyanogen recovery image that came with one-click thankfully has Nandroid built-in, allowing easy backup/restore.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madrenergic:
I'd say Darky's ROM is the probably the most appropriate choice for beginners. It's one of the easiest to flash with just a few steps on Odin, and comes with the standard Voodoo lagfix.

The guide can be found here:

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/

It is not the best ROM - that is a decision you have to make for yourself according to your own preferences - but it is easy to handle for first-timers and stable, and gets you to where you need (on a custom ROM) and with minimal fuss.

ROM Kitchen is good for those who want additional options for customization, but it's not recommended for beginners especially if they don't know what all the customization options refer to, and it's easy to run into problems of you don't know what you're doing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boeingaviation:
Thanks very much for you help Madrenergic :)

I found an easy method to root my phone here on XDA using Super One Click. I then Installed OCLF from the market which worked a treat and made my phone allot faster.

I did some research and found that OCLF changes the file system to ext2, then I researched voodoo lagfix and found it changes them to ext4 to make the phone even faster, so I went ahead and downloaded the voodoo 5.5 zip file to transfer straight to my phone.

It says to put the file on the internal sd card which is what I thought I had done, but when I went into android recovery mode after selecting "reboot into recovery mode" from Clockwork Mod Recovery, it gives me the option to "apply sd card update.zip" which I selected but I got an error message saying it could not find the internal directory of my phone or the file is not available.

Any pointers?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Daft question, but did you rename it to "update"?

You could also try this, it's what I used the first time I started playing around with my phone: https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher

Make sure you make a back-up with this app before applying the update.

You picked a good kernel, it's the first one I used, and I was well impressed with the results. Make sure you grab the voodoo control app from the market, there's a free version and a donate version, it's worth getting the donate version, the devs on here deserve our support.

As always read everything through a couple of times until you're sure of what you're doing :)

Nope, judging by the screenshot you posted you have the update in the right place, just open kernel flasher and find the update, 3 pics attached.

Select back up kernel, when back up is complete select choose kernel, on pic 2 you see 2 dots above back up tap on the 2 dots, then you should see something like pic 3, scroll down to the bottom to find update and tap on it.

Job done, as far as I can remember :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anik8:
I agree. Darky's froyo 9.5 would be the perfect balanced mod. Though I would recommend Hardcore's Speedmod K13E kernel over Dark-core 1.4. The battery life was considerably higher with Speedmod, plus there are many more useful features, like headphone calling. Though I would agree, if you're a beginner, for now use Dark core, much easier to install, with less complicated features. You can always update to Speedmod later :)

Thanks everyone for your help. I ended up Using ODIN to install the voodoo update.

Everything is now much smoother to use and faster opening.

Only time anything is slow is straight after I have rebooted my phone, for example opening contact takes a few seconds after rebooting the phone, but then opens instantly after that.
