** I purchased my phone on Aug 12, 2011 and it came out of the box with EC05 installed and I have tried Gingerbreak without any luck. I must have tried like20 times and I always got the "Don't know what happened..." message. The last time I tried it out of desperation something went wrong and I thought trashed my phone. For some reason during the reboot Go Launcher EX, (my default launcher) was no longer working and I had a black screen and it kept giving me a force close on TWLauncher. The phone seemed to be working I just had no home screen. Luckily I was able to access the status bar which had "Battery Notifier" on and I was able to get to the Android Market from there and open Go Launcher EX from there. Everything seemed fine after that but that was a huge scare for me. If I didn't have any way to get to the Market I don't know how I would have been able to gain access to my phone again without having to take it to Sprint. It does seem like it only works with phones that have been previously rooted. Is there any way this will get revised to allow those with Virgin phones to get rooted without a computer. I only have Mac's so I seem to be out of luck and I really want to root my phone since it's been a real headache since I first bought it. A friend of mine was going to toss out a desktop HP Pavillion because he said it crashed and he is not able to get it up and running so I asked him to let me have it. So I've been working on it for about a week now trying to get it working so I can try rooting it through a PC. Problem is I've been able to access the drive and test everything the old fashioned way, using the old DOS prompts and everything checks out but I don't have any Window's Software and can't afford to put out $150 right now because I'm on disability. So it would be great if I could root my phone without a computer.

I do appreciate all the hard work you guys have put into helping others root their phones. I know its not an easy task.

tell me the basics of HBOOT, NAND PARTITION, SECURITY FLAG, BOOT & RECOVERY PARTITION

Let us think we are discussing related to a NAND locked htc android device.

I forgot to mention, including RADIO also. And what is NVRAM RADIO.

What are HBOOT, NAND PARTITION, SECURITY FLAG, BOOT & RECOVERY PARTITION. pls define

what are the uses of all these things. And how are they related to each other.

All these are definately located in the phone memory. Are there any seperate drives for each of these. Can we see these things from a file manager, even on a rooted s-off device.

Recently, devices like desire s have signed boot / recovery partitions. What is the difference between normal boot partition and a signed boot partition.

If a hacker wants to permaroot a NAND locked device, what is his target. Is it hboot or nand partition or both. And what is the way of approach actually. If someone knows how unrevoked roots the nand locked device, pls describe the process. Im not asking about source codes. Just asking the basic way of approach for rooting

The only thing i know from the above is, "hboot is comparable to the bios of computer".

SORRY for so many questions. But atleast if u know a single answer to a single question above, pls post and let me know. Even if ur device is not a nand locked device, pls post the answers if u know. U will make a great favour to me if u let me know those things. Im very confused with those and didnt found the answers anywhere.

Thanks in advance...:):):)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekyndnunwind:
When I hit the power button to shut the screen off, it flashes brightly before it goes off.

Wondering if this is a Nook Color thing in general, or just a CM7 thing. Is this related to the fact that the screen animation doesn't work on CM7 when using the current kernel? I heard that Dalingrin had the screen animation working in the early test kernel and wondered if this got rid of the screen flash as well.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] variable47:
FWIW, mine flashes also. I haven't researched the cause, though.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
CM7.0.2 from SD, when I tap the power button, it fades over about half a second. No flash, although occasionally there's a flicker in the middle of the fade. Power on happens much quicker, but there is a bit of fade-in.

I did enable on and off animations, even though I didn't think they were supposed to work yet.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
this is a CM7 thing. its a power off and on animation. if you dont like it you can turn it off in settings. personally i like it. it reminds me of the old CRT screens.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SophT:
More specifically it's a 2.3 thing - but I think the problem is that it doesn't work the same as on other standard resolution screens so it just ends up 'flashing' rather than doing a fancy animation. Your solution is correct though.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] variable47:
Interesting. The on/off animations are off by default in the Encore build. I enabled them in the settings and still had the flash (as one would expect). However, once I disabled them again everything was fine. I wonder if this is another persistence bug, similar to airplane mode?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubiousPig:
My screen flashes whether the screen animations are on or off, though to be fair it doesn't flash every time, definitely more often than not though.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chasmodai:
Mine is more of a quick blink rather than an obvious flash. And it isn't consistent.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FairJuno:
My screen flashes as well. It just started doing this yesterday and I've been running cm7 off my sd card for about a week with no other problems. Worse, sometimes the screen turns green and stays that way until I hit the N button. Any idea what this means and possibly how to fix it? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaCat:
Which version of CM7 are you running? I haven't seen the flash or the green screen since I switched from 7.0.2 to nightly 86. Maybe it's coincidence, but it looks like the flash issue has been fixed.

(The power button does sometimes turn off the screen briefly then turn it right back on again -- hitting the power button a second time always turns it off.)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FairJuno:
It's the CM7.0.3 stable version. Maybe I should do an update. I wasn't sure if that was the problem since it had just started doing this. Are you saying you've seen the green screen? Just curious because I can't find anything about it anywhere. Thank you for your response. I'm going to try out the nightly and see if that fixes the problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenXSniper:
Mine does more of a quick flicker,i think its the screen off/on animation issue on the nook because the animation works fine on my droid incredible cm7
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FairJuno:
Actually, that's what mine does too. Sometimes there's a flash, but most of the time it's a quick flicker. If it's just the animation then I probably don't need to worry about it. It's just the green screen that worried me...though that only occurred when I kept messing with it. I haven't messed with it the past couple of days so I haven't seen the green screen. Maybe I was causing some kind of error.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaCat:
Yup, I've seen the green screen. I don't remember what build I was on at the time because I looked at a bunch over a couple of days. It could have been 7.0.3.

Or maybe I messed up something on my nook, and flashing another build corrected it? Either way, I haven't seen it in a few weeks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FairJuno:
That's good that you haven't seen it in a while. And not that I want anyone else to suffer, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one. LOL. Hopefully that means I'll have an easy fix. I haven't seen it in a few days myself, so I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Most likely I'll update to a nightly. Thanks for the responses. Now I'm not worried about it anymore.:)

[Nexus S General] RISHI-O:
I have a Nexus S(I9023) and used the full Rom to update from 2.3.3 KB3 GRI54 to the 2.3.4 KD1 GRJ22 version, except I can't get my clockworkmod recovery to stick, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the recovery with clockworkmod 3.0.2.5, and installed the superuser file, except each time I boot into the OS, and then boot back into recovery, the clockworkmod is gone, and I'm stuck with the stock recovery again.

What I did was the following procedure:

Odin flashed back to stock 2.3.3 - KB3 - GRI54

installed the full update 2.3.4 with the recovery

unlocked bootloader

flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.5

installed superuser

reboot

checked if superuser app was installed successfully - yes

reboot to recovery

And to my surprise the clockworkmod recovery was gone, and I was stuck with the stock recovery again.......

How do you make the CW stick and not have it reverted to the stock recovery?
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
There is a script that resets it. Been like that for a while. Look in the root threads on how to make it permanent

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] RISHI-O:
Tried looking in the Root threads, but can't find the solution, the funny thing is that I never had this before, only started after updating to 2.3.4.
[Nexus S General] pullermann:
There's a file in the system's /etc folder named install-recovery.sh. You need Root Explorer to rename it in order to prevent further installs. Mount the "etc" directory as writable using Root Explorer and rename the file (to for example: install-revocery.sh.old).

This will prevent the stock recovery from being installed in the future...
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Yep. Also if you use this method you will still have to flash CWM one more time after you do what this poster says (the script runs when the phone boots) .

[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
I got 12% battery drain in 17 hours, standby. I'm not a pro at android but I might give a little tut. on how to save battery life to the max. Atleast, it works for my P500 so it should work for you & for any other android device as well.

Uninstall every unnecessary app, including system apps (those apps, that does not mess up with the system stability - If you uninstall Email app, you will not solve your problems with Gmail app).. same with Messaging. That said, leave as minimum apps in the background as you can. App killer does not solve this problem, it just closes bg apps - they restart after some time. I'm using ATK (Advanced Task Killer), It usually kills 1 - 3 apps, so.. I have a minimum of apps running in the bg.

Basic stuff.. turn off your 3G, wifi, bg sync, gps when not in use. If you need to check your email, use 2G network only option, not 3G. Use 2G always when you don't need 3G speed. Screen brightness is not that important if you set it to anywhere below 70%. It should not drain the battery that fast.

Setcpu - profiles - governors--

My profiles are as follows

Charging - 480min - 748max

Battery <90% - 245min - 600max

Battery <70% - 245min - 600max (U can live with one profile for the battery, I have 2 in case I want to change the 2nd profile)

Screen off - 122min - 245max -- This is what saves my battery in standby.

The governors are ondemand for usage & conservative for screen off.

I'm using Void.echo rom with tapps & gapps modules, uninstalled everything I don't need.

I hope this helps :) If anyone has a better idea on how to save battery life, please share yours as well.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kopchev:
Thanks for your post, but actually most background apps don't drain battery. I have made lots of experiments (removing system aps, preventing autorun etc., and I don't see any major difference in battery life. So now, I'm on stock 2.2 and I'm now at 80% after almost 30h use: about 20 min talk, 10-15 min wi-fi (mail), 10-15 min EDGE. The latter by the way drains battery more than wi-fi. So instead of messing with system apps I recommend putting the phone in airplane mode during the night and as mentioned in the above post - not using 3G when not needed (EDGE has decent speed).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
thats the why linux works !!! use all the memory u possibly can...These Microsoft *****es have changed the way computers were supposed to be used not reinstalling windows and other crapware all the time..Switch to Debian while its still time

And i use these settings

screen off 245-245 powersave (otherwise phone gets hot Its summer in india)

600-245 ondemand otherwise
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
If there are many apps running in the bg, phone runs out of ram, so it tries to free up some space constantly. I think that drains battery, not the apps themselves. As well as the more cpu power is used, the faster it drains battery. Airplane mode shuts off any connection, so either that or you could just shut down the phone during night. Hmm you could tell me how to prevent app autorun, i have not looked into that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
btw juicedefender does wonders with the phones battery i had a 2% percent over night normal mode (not airplane) no 3g/Edge/Wifi/Bluetooth active and just sleeping
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
True about windows & linux :) hehe. You havent tried 122-245mhz on screen off? Ofcouse, it lags even when i receive an sms, it's something like this - the screen turns on, then after 2 sec. i hear a notification, then after 1 sec. i see the sms :D but that does not make any problems for me, it's extreme powersaving
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rapharias:
I don't get the point of airplane mode while you're sleeping.

If you don't want to get calls while sleeping, shouldn't it be better if you turn off the phone?

I had a good experience with JuiceDefender until now too. Last night my phone was 100% and no airplane mode while sleeping. It drained only 3%.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wally509:
From what I've read, Android doesn't swap. It'll just kill the background apps on it's own. I don't think there even is a swap unless you root, rom and create one on your uSD.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kopchev:
It's more convenient, because the on/off process is quite slow...in contrast - airplane mode on/off is 3-4 secs. In airplane mode you can still use wi-fi. Last night the battery drained only 1%
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pachuau86:
i read somewhere that changing the CPU speed doesnt change the voltage, thus it does not affect battery life... anyone can confirm this???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] spaic:
As far as I can remember from school, a logic gate uses more power when switching, thus a higher frequency would also mean higher power drain (higher frequency = more switching of the logic gates), without voltage modification.

Voltage is changed in order to keep stability - higher voltage means a more stable logic signal, and a faster switching gate, and thus people reccomend using a higher voltage for higher frequencies/lower voltage for lower frequencies.

Thus, a CPU with so many logic gates does not operate just like a simple resistor. In fact it is worse, because when you use higher voltage AND higher frequency power drain is increased much more.

On the other hand, most modern CPU's simply deactivate CPU regions when idling, so, in case of our hardware (constant voltage) there should not be such a great difference when idling (most of the CPU is powered down). The only thing is for the phone to be REALLY idling (no background tasks eating too much of the CPU when screen off).

Basically, what this means is that if you want extreme power saving use a governor with 128MHz minimum and have as few background services as possible (or at least the ones that are there should be optimized for the least CPU usage).

Now I use the standard governor (248 - 600) and I thing my idle power drain is OK.

I guess I will test a governor that is plain 600MHz and one wit 320 or 480 as a minimum, in order to see if power drain is higher when using a lower lag configuration.

And, just as a guess, if background tasks are triggered by timers, a governor with just 600MHz (or 320 - 600 or 380 - 600?) could (just a wild guess) mean that background tasks take less time to execute, and leave the CPU to si more in IDLE mode, causing a very similar power drain as an extreme power saving governor. But this is just a guess, i have not tested it yet. And it also depends on what apps you have (what the apps do when phone is sleeping).

Basically, my best advice would be to watch the apps (after you install a new app, wait for a night to see if the new app causes a higher drain; if it does, search for another app that does the same thing)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SoundTone:
I don't know about CPU's as much as u, but simple logical thinking helps here.. Low frequency + minimum of bg tasks = great power saving, I have now used the phone for 36hours without charge, 61% battery left. That is not only idling, i write about 50 to 150 sms a day & use the phone for other stuff too. So, those governors & frequencies i mentioned earlier in this post, helps a lot.
