[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Are you using rooted ROMs or stock ROMs?

If the ROM you are flashing is a stock RUU then you will lose root.

Which ROMs are you trying?

How did you obtain root?

Have you got Radio and ENG S-OFF?

What recovery version are you using?

What method are you using to flash the ROMs?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
Ive been using RCMix 6.1.0.1 and now Levo 1.3. Haven't had a problem with anything before when I've ran cm7 or froyo roms, or muiu.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
I'm using the latest recovery. And have eng off. I haven't had problems until these last couple of weeks. And I've been rooted since December
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
What method are you using to get root back?

And I know it's a daft question but bear with me: What is happening that makes you suspect you are losing root?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
I applied full wipe then flashed a new Rom. I thought it was rcmix to begin with but apparently not. Could it be something to do with recovery? All I've done is flash the ril and a different theme.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Don't know yet.

At the risk of sounding rude, I'm asking these questions for a reason.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
I used visionary to root. Had to downgrade originally.

I am using 3.0.2.6 cwm.

I'm not sure what I have done. As I said I've not had problems before whilst using other roms, just 2.3 with sense.

I think I might just revert back to cm7.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Maybeyou'll answer if someone else asks What makes you think you are losing root, and how do you get it back ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Nice one, cheers. Thought maybe I was going mad or writing in a foreign language or something.

Are you selecting Temp Root only or do you choose Attempt Perm Root as well?

Are you checking the options box to ensure the changes stick after reboot?

And one that's just occurred to me, what makes you think you are losing root?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
I'm not sure why this is occuring. I was hoping someone might gave an idea. I have done nothing different this time than in previous occasions.

To get root permissions back, I have to full wipe the phone, using the full wipe zip. I then reflashed a new rom (from rcmix to levo) which then gave me a fully functioning rooted phone again. However, the same issue has now come back.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
Permroot was achieved ages a go. I have flashed many custom roms, radios, bootanimations etc. This has only happened in the last week.

When going to setcpu, it says phone does not have root permissions, this is the same in rom manager, gscript lite and titanium backup.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
After you flash a new ROM does root disappear randomly a few days later or only the first time you flash the ROM (meaning you have to keep flashing ROMs twice)?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
I get all the benefits of rooting back when i flash a rom for the 1st time. The lose it later.

I updated to cwm 3.0.2.8 then went back to 3.0.2.6 because it is the one rom manager recognises. Could this be an issue?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
To be honest I have never heard of root just suddenly not working.

Have you got the superuser app installed? Are your running any task killers apps?

Did you use ROM Manager to flash the .2.6 recovery?

There's two versions of those easy-wipe zip things (don't use or like them myself), are you using the full wipe one? If so, to rule it out do the wipes manually in recovery before flashing the ROMs
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
Now you have!

Recovery was installed via Rom manager. Do you think flashing a new recovery image could help?

I don't normally use the either. Just thought this could solve the problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
???

Are you checking and confimring the MD5HASH of the ROM files (all files) before flashing them?

Will answer that one after I know above.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
I've had this happen a number of times on various ROM's such as Cyanogen, CoreDroid, RCHDMix etc... on each occasion nothing was changed that would have triggered a sudden failure of SU privileges. So, the reasons behind this remain a mystery (possible SU bug during ROM startup maybe that continues with all other restarts after?).

However, to remedy the problem I had to go to recovery menu and performed a wipe/reflash.

Annoying... yes. But as long as you do regular back up's then it's only 15 minutes to perform a full recovery and reinstallation of everything.

So far I've been using CoreDroid v6 since it was released without any issues like this (yet!).

Just to confirm, if you still have the SuperUser app installed, do your authorised apps still appear with a green dot next to them?)..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkmeister901:
Superuser is installed and has green dots by those apps in need of such privileges. I don't use task managers.

I check md5 sums before flashing.

I have now fully wiped manually and restored a backup. SU privileges are back. I will not change anything and see if I lose them again or if its just me.

Thanks for all the input
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdfanatic:
Basically start again. Use ur recovery Ingram to restore, then root ur desire from scratch using visionary++ perm root, then eng-s-off, then Tom manager, flash clock mod, then flash new rom.?

Download terminal emulator from market type such and enter. If it returns # ur set.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
Reinstall superuser from the market just to eliminate the possibility of corrupted superuser apps
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_d:
Are u using any AntiVirus AVG detectected superuser as a virus on me and removed it, had to tell AVG to ignore it, once I got root back.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
This doesn't work from my experience when I tried to rule out corrupted SU files.

It remains a mystery for the time being. The only resolution was to do a reflash..
[General Accessories] Ghaztehschmexeh:
I just bought a 32GB micro SDHC card from an exchange shop. The card has 32GB written on it, as does the packaging. Yet, it only appears as an 8GB card on both my phone and my PC. Did I get ripped off? Should I return it? Any help would be greatly appreciated <3
[General Accessories] Babydollll:
Yes. You most likely did.

Run CHKDSK and find out for sure, print that out and return, it with the printout as proof....

There is nothing outside of OT! :) ;) :p :D
[General Accessories] Ghaztehschmexeh:
I ran chkdsk, it confirmed it. Is this something that say chinese manufacturers do or something? It seems a bit odd to go to the trouble of making an 8gb card and printing a different thing on it? Why not a tiny card? Or perhaps the person who sold it to them did it :/ Still, they should have checked. Thanks for the help.
[General Accessories] dankpupdaddy:
I had somewhat of the same problem. Bought a 8gb micro sd card and plugged it in and only had 52mb on it but it was PNY brand and got it from BestBuy so I just returned it. Mine was manufactures fault but yeah you might have gotten ripped off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
I've heard of several devices that are unable to access the android market. I was wondering if there is a way to simply have access to the APK files, essentially a market back door. I don't even know if this allowed because frankly, I don't understand how the market works. I'm focusing on the word, "open market".

Reason for the question: I may getting a Nook soon but I read that some of them can't access the market using honeycomb.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylar.sutton:
If it's a free app, that's fine. Many devs even make the apk available on their website. The market only serves as a convenient search engine and auto updater for free apps.

If it's a paid app, that's illegal and a violation of the forum rules - do not ask again. For paid apps, the market serves as a search engine, shopping cart / checkout, license validater, and auto updater.

In case you are asking about a paid app, i'll save you the effort... even if you did get your hands on the apk, most of them will fail to start or run b.c. the market will reject your phone when it tries to validate your copy of the app on app startup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
I thought I made it clear that I didn't know much about the market which is why I'm asking. I forgot that some apps are paid apps, simply an oversight. Your attempt to offer helpful advice was clouded by an unnecessary admonishment of my actions. I'm very well aware of the forum rules. Simply stated, you're making it sound like I'm trying to steal from developers, I'm not. I'm simply trying to find a way to get "free" apps that are listed as such on the market using a device that does not seem to have access to the market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
You could always grab the Amazon Appstore .apk and use that to search and download applications, too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperlux:
wow... that didn't even occur to me--thanks!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
I just received the new prl (about a wk ago, not sure which one but I have a corporate discount) and ever since then it has come up as roaming when I am near my airrave. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem and if there are any fixes for it. I have reset my airrave but it didn't affect anything.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
I have an Airave, but when I try updating my PRL, it goes through the motions and when it is done i am still on 60676. So I cannot say if i have this problem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Same here...60676.

Here is Airave phone number 866-556-7310
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
Thanks for the airrave #. I'll be sure to call them as soon I have a few hour free. :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
LOL...they are not as bad as normal customer care. But they might be able to register the prl number and reset your airave. What PRL # is it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
I'm not sure, where do I look.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
That's funny, it notified me of a new prl updated and I guess I am still on 60676. Weird, now I am curious why I am roaming on the airrave...because it must not be caused by the prl update.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Because they sent the Airave a software update that screwed up 50% of them.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
I called airave tech and after several techs got someone who could help. Profile, prl, reprogram, hard reset, bs, bs ,bs, and now they're sending me a different model airave. Apparently the samsung model I have is not compatible with some android devices (worked until a wk. ago). I just posted so if others have issues...

On a side note, why do they always suggest hard reset first, like it's a magical answer? Most non-xda users lack nandroid backups for bullsh*t like that. Rant over. I will report back if I have further issues with the upgraded airave.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It's in their Idiot's guide to Customer Service....same as cable, cell phone, TV services...etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesse Buck:
So I got my new airrave today installed it and called them to get it working and I am still roaming! WTF! Other phones in the house see it fine and Tasker recognizes it in my profiles but I have that damn little roaming triangle over my signal bars. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] angomy:
Are there any large icon/dock themes with larger fonts out there that I can use without having to resort to editing the LCD Density via an app or editing the build.prop file?

I ask because my mother is considering getting a Nook Color, and her eyesight isn't the best plus I want to avoid her fat fingering the wrong icons :)

I don't want to modify LCD density because of sharpness loss.

Even a theme that has the icon size for application grid, status bar, and dock modded to be (significantly) larger would work great. I've tried ADW and Zeam but they don't offer the functionality I need.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hacku:
In the newest update of ADW EX, you can set the size of the icons and text without having to change the density.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] charm1718:
Desktop Visualizer lets you change the icon size of apps on your home screen. Not in the app drawer though.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] angomy:
Thanks, I downloaded it and like it, I wish it would let you edit the status bar + icons size too though.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ace7196:
LauncherPro doesn't have some feature that can do this that I can't find, does it?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hockeyfamily737:
To get larger fonts "in general" the option resides in the Spare Parts App, but it doesn't effect the size of the icons or home, menu, or search buttons.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SCWells72:
So I bought ADW EX and it's exceptionally buggy on my Nook Color and on my HP TouchPad. However, I do really like how things look on the TouchPad with the large HDPI icons. Is there really no way to use those icons in a more stable launcher? I'd love to use 72x72 icons in VTL, GO, or LPP if possible, at least until ADW EX is more stable...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dragon_76:
I have ADW.ex and yes, there are a few bugs but typically only with first launch. From a reboot or cold boot you have to relaunch adw and then it is smooth sailing. My biggest gripe is that you can't hide apps in the app drawer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dragon_76:
The size setting there only affects Google AOSP apps. It doesn't even affect Google's other apps.

[GT540 Optimus General] Jejs234:
I have an LG Optimus running OpenSwift (CM6), it is quite smooth but it has less RAM available than the stock ROM. Why is this? :confused:
[GT540 Optimus General] eggnext:
Different ROM images include different apps and services, so RAM usage always differs between them.

And variability in RAM usage is greater between different Android versions.
[GT540 Optimus General] Jejs234:
Agreed, but it only seems to have 30MB of RAM so I have to use a taskkiller app, which drains battery further. :( . Anyone got any ideas/reasons? They would be greatly appreciated :)
[GT540 Optimus General] max1919:
You can try to delete useless apps from system/app, that can stop executing useless processes and you'll get more free RAM.

Also you can flash your mobile phone with odexed rom which uses less RAM because odexed apps are more optimized.

I have about 60Mb free RAM
[GT540 Optimus General] androidia:
RAM

You can try an app call "swapper" there is a free vension of it on the market, it allows you to a swap to you sd card for extra ram, it will depend on your rom and you also will need to have root priviledge. it seem to make my LG540 run abit better.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
If you read up about the launch of the Nexus S and Facebook, you will see this is because Google removed the sync ability of Facebook. Google is pissed because Facebook displays it's contacts in the address book without storing it locally. Previously, Google gave Facebook special API access to the contacts app, but they have removed it as of Gingerbread. Facebook will have to update their sync so it adds it to the shared contacts of the phone.
