[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $ynonymou$:
Thank you both,

Anyone confirm whether Three's version of Froyo already available, so I'll at least be able to update to that straight away? I don't suppose Three have announced whether they will be releasing Gingerbread?

Since I'd been waiting for the SGII since MWC, I can't wait any longer. I was going to purchase it not realising the nfc wasn't present but O2 had just pulled it from PAYG. I think a lot of the rumors around release dates are bogus to string people along, including the competition. Any time after June could well be December sometime.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] reddytej:
Hey guys, I've a problem with gingerbread. I've created an ext2 partition on my sd card. LINK2SD successfully installs, but when I start the app it asks for partition type and reboots immediately. I never came across this problem with froyo. Please help me out.

Thank You
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
as far as I know,there is no solution yet,the problem is on ace you can't write the init.rc file yet.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
Link2SD works perfectly on Froyo. Hence I'm holding back upgrading to Gingerbread until that's fixed .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pico.marco:
For now, I worked around the problem this way:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14159285&postcount=1317

You must install with Odin a CODE_S5830XXKP modified file (it contains changed init.rc).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
You can use DarkTremor App2SD with VillainROM...

post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13987128&postcount=50
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
Cool, thanks for sharing. However, I wanted to ask if it is ok to upgrade to KPE and also do the above technique without any factory reset or wiping the data and having to reinstall all apps again. I already have Link2SD set up on my KC1.

Also, I dunno much about DarkTremor's A2SD, is it better than Link2SD in any way?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pico.marco:
Every time you make a change with Odin, the phone is completely reset and data are lost (with a backup program is not a big problem). This does not happen just by upgrading by Kies.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
Hmm, well not really an upgrade but I did reflash my KC1 when I got soft bricked twice, and all my data was intact I believe.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pico.marco:
With odin? I do not know... Long ago I have flashed KC1 and recently KPE (two times) and this has always reset the phone memory (I lost applications, settings, etc.). Better for you :-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
Yeah I did with Odin. Reflashed KC1 twice. I just lost certain minor stuff like Speed Dial numbers and all. My Google and other accounts were still there. Also my Messages.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
You can use Titanium Backup or MyBackup for backup your apps and data... its easy and fast...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
Yeah I have my apps backed up on Titanium. I just didn't want to deal with manually Link2SDing them one by one again.. I dunno if Titanium would restore the linked and non-linked apps as they are now.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
Well as the title says i rooted the phone a long time ago. I noticed my phone didn't charge yesterday so I started messing with it and realized it would need to be sent back. so I wanted to start unrooting, but I couldn't connect into flash or usb at all. I did manage to start a flash once , but then it lost connection half way through and the phone doesn't turn on at all now. I can't wiggle usb or anything at all to get it to recognize so I imagine the board or something need to b replaced. question is will sony be able to tell my phone is rooted in its condition and if the replace board i'm in the clear right? thanks guys!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sina1:
i think if it doesnot turn on they dont bother repairing it.it is happen with a printer i giveback to bestbuy and they replace it right away without even plunging to power.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
oh yeah when I say doesn't turn on I mean it vibrates as usual when u try to power on, but it goes no where. no sony logo or anything.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
Oh no. Just tell them the truth, hopefully they don't care... wish ur phone good luck...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJFM:
Well technically rooting the handset does void the warranty. However, if there's no way for it to turn on, I don't see how they'll be able to tell!

Just use sony ericsson update service

I had the same and it worked for me

EDIT: you can download it on the sony ericsson website
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
I have tried the SE update service and the phone won't go into flash mode because it seems that the usb port is faulty and loses connection. I'm just sending it in and hoping it gets by them. If not I will just pay for the repair I guess.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timotuithof:
I hope for you its free :P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asa2303:
This happened to me too. USB port was faulty, couldn't charge, couldn't flash. Vibrate on power key and red light flash but no Sony logo or anything. I borrowed a friends fully charged battery and got phone turned on. Entered recovery and wiped everything, system, data and cache. Then sent it off for repair as it was then a blank phone. They just sent me a new one :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
Thanks....This eases my mind a little. My wife actually has an x10 as well and I tried her battery as well and it won't go anywhere. It just doesn't work so I am fairly confident that they will jsut be repairing or sending me a new one. It goes out tomorrow so my fingers are crossed. Thanks again for the insight everyone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
Update: I called Sony today for an update on my repair and I was told there was no record of my service request. The support agent I spoke to assured me he would call me back by the end of the day with an update. Well I was waiting and UPS arrives suprising me with my phone :) The packaging was verrrry bad. It was in a flimsy box wrap in some thin styrofoam wrap thing. The box was dented pretty badly, but the phone seemed to be in working order. The best part is they just sent me a straight replacement. So I put sim in and power her up and it's asking for an unlock code...AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Spoke to Sony, AT&T and Rogers to try and get them to provide one, but they wouldn't give me one. So now I am waiting for a code to be sent to me from an online company. Hopefully will be up and running within the next 24 hours. I'm just happy it was replaced no questions asked. It actually was sent out to me the same day it was received so that's some quick turn around time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
They can always check for root eeven if it doesnt turn on how? Via the sdcard they take it out and plug it into a sdcard reader then onnpc they check for stuff unusual like superuser app or anything revelant lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
Before you send it in they tell you to remove sim, sd card, battery and back cover.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
And besides, files related to root are not stored on the SD.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denius507:
From release notes on emma you can see that from 2.11.4 version they added detection of rooted phones..

So answer is yes, they can detect if phone is rooted, ofc if they are able to read data from phone..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breitlingtim:
I have tried 3 different unlock companies online and none have been able to generate a unlock code for my new phone. This is unreal. I dodged the rooted phone issue easily since they couldn't power on phone, but they sent me back a locked Rogers phone and no luck getting it unlocked yet. This sucks :-(
[General Questions and Answers] textron:
It seems that as phones are getting more advance that they're also typcially running the similar hardware these days. You know phones run, terga 2, hummingbird, snapdragons etc.

I think it would be cool to buy the phone hardware of your choice and then purchase the os of choice like they do on PCs. I don't think the current OS are designed with that sort of flexibility. But I think it would help with some of the software makers to be able to push their phones beyond boundaries of carriers and on the latest hardware.

Hi,

On your phone, set usb mode to storage device when you connect to a pc, format the drives using default settings, turn off quick format. Do this for both drives.

That happens to me every time I have to use gingerbreak to get root.

Cheers!

I'm sorry for being a noob but can you explain that a little bit more, because it happened to me when i used gingerbreak too.

[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Cool...But I got stucked at the first step. Where can I get debian.img?
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
you create a new file named debian.img using dd, then you format it to ext2 using mkfs.. well. you can just take backtrack image from xoom. essentially it's just ubuntu with some software added
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
I'm just curious why you chose ext2 as opposed to ext4? Given that the filesystem is actually a file on a filesystem, I sort of understand ext2, especially considering you can mount it with the ext4 driver now.
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
This probably sounds like a stupid question, but for some reason I cannot use bash?

It may be that my paths are not configured properly, but i dont have a bin at the "/" level. I have looked in /system/bin and /system/xbin, but have not found bash there either.

I installed busybox and have been able to perform root tasks, so I am not sure what I missed.
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
because.. you don't have bash.. you should have it in your chroot. if you need it in android, just install it (like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537827)
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
I installed bash according to the link you posted, but I still don't have a /bin outside of /system. I did change the above scripts to reflect this by saying:

#!/system/bin (but then I get the error 'event not found')

My prompt reads: "sh-3.2#" after reboot, which I understand is bash replacing the stock terminal.

I tried creating the /bin directory in the root, but even with root terminal, it said it was read only. Do I have to remount the root and then create a /bin directory?

When I rooted, I don't remember their being a lengthy discussion about bash installation, or the creation of a /bin directory.

I welcome all suggestions, as I am trying to learn more about the inner workings of the tablet, but still have little experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
you need bash only in the linux in chroot and therefore do not need to modify scripts.

anyway,

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp bash /system/bin

chmod 755 /system/bin/bash

mount -o remount,ro /system

then you can start bash by typing 'bash' in shell
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Hello,

I have tried and I still can't get it run. I am not used to Linux stuffs and scared that I may screwed up my tab. Can you please pack the required files and upload it so that we can follow easier? something like this http://www.secmaniac.com/may-2011/backtrack-5-on-motorola-xoom-in-10-minutes-or-less/ would be great.

[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
I ended up installing bash, but I still had problems with chroot and getting the scripts to run, so I decided to reverse what I was doing. In the process of trying to remove the bash shell and replace with the stock sh, I must have messed something up.

I tried a factory reset, and when I loaded back up again, I can't get wifi to connect. My suspicion is that there is at least two separate things wrong:

-My shell is somewhere in permission limbo or non-existant

I try running >adb shell and I get:

"- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"​

-The permissions on my wpa_supplicant are probably messed up, hence I can't connect to wifi

Any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
Well I tried a few more things:

-Tried copying over bash to /system/bin, got an error that it is a read-only file system. Funny, because I need shell (chmod?) in order to repair the shell, those bastards.

-Tried installing apk using adb, got same message about 'sh' missing. I think I will have to reflash a system.img, but I can't seem to find the Wifi-US with a working link.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok, I have my contract since January 2011 and it is due to last for 24 months. I was wondering If there is anyway that I can get out of this?

I have had 5 going on 6 faulty handsets in only 5 months, which is pretty disgraceful. I have rang them numerous times trying to get a completely different handset but every time they say that their system is not giving them any options to offer me. They then go on to say "we will phone you back if the system comes up with anything, (they never phoned) but in the mean time would we can send you a replacement handset".

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I am trying to mod a 2.2 based dialer to work on 2.3.3. I have extracted both DialerActivityTab.apk's

Then:

1) From the 2.3.3 based, I cut folders AndroidManifest, classes.dec and resources.arcs. All other (assets, META and res) files have same exact date of mod

2) From 2.2 based, I cut the same files out.

3) I then paste the 2.3.3 files to 2.2

I zipped this and put in phone (root Ex>System>app) renamed the original and paste the new DTA.apk

Interestingly enough when I tryed the dialer it went back to the previous dialer! When I go back into RE the icon matches the renamed DTA.apk

So what else can I/ should I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
i guess the proper question here is, did you actually use apk manager to decompile all this or are you trying to do all this from a zip file manager?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It was all done directly through 7zip, I transfered from zip into zip (2.3.3 DAT.apk to the 2.2 DAT.apk) these were not unzipped and re zipped.
