[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rich2011:
Yeah I think its going to have to, I've tried playing about with settings, giving it time to cool down; pretty much everything I can think of, I really can't think what it could be, it seems to be many issues rather than just one, with it only being a month old, I expected slightly more.

Love the phone, did brilliantly yesterday; used it for lots of things; then today it just suddenly went, took it of charge, and it played up the whole way through.

Given up with it now, will take it back and see if I can get it fixed, I have 24 month warrenty with my contract.

Thanks

Hello I have now decided to S-Off my desire, all because I want to test one App. Chainfire 3D, is there an easy way on doing this that is very safe? Also can I S-Off and keep running the RoM I am using, or do I have to start again with new RoM flash.

Is it true that I can S-ON any time by flashing my stock RUU? and last question (sorry) :) has anyone got chainfire 3D working with S-ON, if so I wont be doing S-Off lol
[Desire General] Jakedude2011:
"is there an easy way on doing this that is very safe?"

The Alpharev method is "safe" if U have read and understand their guide.

BUT there is still and allways a chance of bricking... so... no... no safe way!

"Also can I S-Off and keep running the RoM I am using?"

Yes.

"Is it true that I can S-ON any time by flashing my stock RUU?"

Yes. A stock RUU will reset your phone 112%. ;-)

Thanks guys never wanted to S-Off, but really want to try this app. I defo need S-Off because it wont let me install the driver's without having the right's to system, I even tried flashing them in recovery, but it still showed the graphic driver's not installed :(
[Desire General] dzumagos:
S-OFF and try roms with custom hboot like CM7 InsertCoin

ull never get back to stock hboot a2sd+ after that :P
[Desire General] shankly1985:
I like having 2GB internal memory :) data2SD is superb trust me droidzone's RoM are very nice.
[Desire General] dzumagos:
Im talking speed here. No data2xxx can match apps running from NAND in speed department. And I can have loooots of apps still.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Thanks for the tip, but I dont ever get lag from any app's using data2sd, also from reading the main page from dev RoM SD is ment to be faster than NAND.

With Data2SD, you decide the amount of Internal memory you want!

As a side effect, you get faster I/O too, since Sd is faster than Nand. the real world performance depends on the Class of your card. The faster the better!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Not to forget you use an ext4 partition for data2sd, for a2sd you mostly use an ext3 partition, which is slower than an ext4 partition, no matter which class your sd card has.
[Desire General] gie62001:
nope you can't install the required Chainfire3d driver without having S-off, as i tried it myself on different Roms and different desires (rooted, unrooted, etc), untill i contacted the developed and he said that only S-off HTC devices can install this driver. and as some posters said, go to custom partition tables like CM7.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Thanks am going to try it tonight, I won't be using custom tables, because I think data2SD is far better.

[Desire General] gie62001:
i think i had the same the first time but just because i didnt have stock room, or maybe you have data2sd script or something. but all i did was to install stock 2.2 rom and then do all procedure again and i also didnt install alpharev recovery or something that they offer. theres a very good video on youtube on s-off desire if you look for it youll find it very usefull

[General Questions and Answers] bls2633:
Is there an app that will tell me my battery usage for a certain app without having to monitor the cpu and network and all that then figure out all the math. Im looking for something really simple that will lay it all out for me so I can see whats going on at just a glance.Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] modplan:
This assumes you:

- Have the latest FROYO OTA installed 3.70.651.1

- Have some experience working with flashing things in recovery

- Have NOT deleted/uninstalled ANYTHING in /system

- Have defrosted any bloat you froze with Bloat Freezer or Ti Backup Pro

- Have S-OFF (Used Unrevoked Forever or a version of Unrevoked3 that includes Forever)

OK now let us get to it.

1. Go ahead and download the OTA like normal on your phone, but DO NOT install it.

2. Using a file manager copy the OTA zip file from /cache to /sdcard

3. Using Rom Manager, flash Amon RA Recovery 2.3 (Down at the bottom)

4. In Rom Manager, click the Reboot into Recovery button.

5. Select apply zip from SD Card and flash the OTA zip file that you put in /sdcard

--10 Minutes later.....you now have the UNROOTED OTA installed just as if you installed it normally--

6. Download the 2.6.0.1 ClockWorkMod Recovery zip from here and place it in the root of your SD card

7. Under settings > applications > disable FastBoot (re-enable this when you are done with the whole process)

8. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan and then will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Reboot.

9. Delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card and place the attachment below in the root of the SD card.

10. Power off and reboot holding Volume down and then select recovery to start CWM recovery.

11. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list, flash it to root your phone. Reboot.

You should now be rooted and can upgrade the recovery now to whatever style and version you want!

Enjoy! Please click the THANKS button if it worked for you! :D

Great info ..hey if I follow these steps and skip the last part will my phone be stock / uprooted and good to go.for a trade in or repair? I've been trying to figure out the best way to unrest when.e3d comes out
[EVO 4G Android Development] greyopaque:
I never updated to 3.70. I'm assuming I can do that the same way, root again, download the gingerbread, and root again?

I'm thinking it might just be easier to flash the rooted ROM and radios, but I'm not sure what's best.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
if you have amon ra recovery (and a stock rom), you can simply download and click install.

I clicked install, amonra booted up, detected and ran update, click reboot, then the stock recovery will be active and updates the radios, once back in to sense, you can reinstall amonra or clockwork, then SU

worked for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109230
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
im curious why the title says "WITHOUT flashing a new ROM" yet you are clearly flashing the rom in amon ra. sorry just got to nit pick
[EVO 4G Android Development] JMQUINT00:
what happens if you have deleted some system apps. Such as nova and blockbuster. I saved the APKS on the SD card however but I did delete them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
Well I wouldn't want to try it unless your prepared to do a full ruu reset if it fails.

the OTA is like a patcher, it deletes unneeded files, adds new files, and updates existing files... if its not completely stock it may (or may not) cause an error which the updater can't handle, and then you may be left with a half upgraded system.

if you nandroid *before* downloading the ota, you should always be able to go back, assuming you have perm soff from unrevoked forever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
it should run whether you have removed files or not. if it tries to delete a file that does not exist the script will just skip it. op i think you have bit of confusion going on though. you were only able to reattain root because you are s-off from unrevoked forever. if you are not s-off and do your method, which is no different then just excepting the ota and letting it do its thing btw, you will loose root until this new ota is cracked. just fwi, there was no "magic" from you flashing manually, the same script is ran and the same files are moved and patches are made regardless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JMQUINT00:
cant I reinstall the apps and put the apks in their original system folder?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JMQUINT00:
Lol OK so which one is it? Can n just accept the ota and run? I'm rooted on stock rom, but I deleted nova and blockbuster from the system? I know I will loose root which I got by using unrevoked 3, but I just want to know if I can do it without bricking the phone. Ty
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
shouldn't be any worry about bricking but make 100% sure you are s-off from unrevoked forever and you should be able to re-root pretty much how the op outlined.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaEXfactoR:
im currently running cm7. if i go back to a rooted stock froyo rom, will this work???
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
confused. I just don't understand why you wouldn't download the rooted version of the ROM from here on XDA and just flash it like a normal rom. Maybe I'm overtired and missing the point.

To me, its like this. If you're rooted, and want an OTA update, just wait for the devs at XDA to go through it and root it, and make it available for download. Then just download it and flash it. You get the same exact update that way, as if you took the OTA from sprint. Except this way you don't risk losing root, and your good to go.

If you're not rooted and your phone is stock, accept OTA like normal.

I don't understand why all this extra stuff needs to be done, and add more to the confusion. If your rooted, updating to the latest is simple. Download it and flash it in recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
Just download the update from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038701

Do a full wipe and flash like any other rom you've ever flashed before. You'll then be on the latest and greatest :rolleyes:. (you'll probably be going right back to CM)

EDIT: and to the OP, sorry that I don't agree with you. I just find it more confusing that way, and I guess that whatever the point of doing it that way is, is sailing miles above my head.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaEXfactoR:
I see your point. I guess I am anxious. So there will be a stock ROM that is rooted, thats what I was wondering. I wasnt sure if every ROM would be customized somewhat...Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
That link I supplied a couple posts up is a completely 100% stock and rooted version of the OTA update.

This is from the first paragraph of the first post of that thread.

"Stock 4.22.651.2 ROM, rooted and ready for your flashing pleasures. This is a completely stock ROM that has had nothing done to it outside of rooting & deodexing, it's not even zip aligned yet (sorry DrMacinyasha)

As always make sure your wipe your dalvik and create a nandroid before flashing."
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
thanks for your insight. only thing I am confused on at this point is why there are kernels listed to flash from May just below it? wouldnt the htc stock kernel from the ota be in this rom already? seems like alot of folks are looking for newer kernels to flash after flashing xhaus rom. Any insight would be great. thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I was a little curious about why those kernels were linked there too. I honestly haven't really kept up with thread, because I don't have an interest in flashing the update to begin with. I noticed those kernels are from May 4th, so it doesn't seem like they'd be the most current one. Without reading that thread, I first would've presumed that the kernel that comes with the rom would be the one to use. So, you've read through the thread and you're seeing that people are having trouble with the kernel that the rom comes with?? I'll take a gander over in the thread in a few minutes and see what I make out of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jerryatric:
Well I f'd up and installed the latest update straight from sprint, instead of waiting for the rooted version to come out. I guess I thought I would find something exciting, but now I would realize it was kind of worthless and want to go back to a different rom like miui or vaelpak. I am s-off with unrevoked. Is there some combination of the steps listed I can use to back out of this?

Let me take a guess...did this update my radios and hboot to a version that would be incompatible with these roms?

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
This is way too complicated and pointless IMO. Just download and flash the rooted stock rom from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038701

If you're going to go to recovery to flash anything, make it that ^

Also flash the radios from there too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tempe38:
modplan, that was very useful, thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] greyopaque:
Won't flashing a complete rom wipe my current system settings, etc? I'm also a little skiddish about flashing radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
start at step 6 in the op to re-root if you are s-off still
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
No, just wipe cache and dalvik and flash it. Flash the radios through hboot and you're done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
First off, I've been rooted for a very long time, but today I wanted to try this thread out. i flashed the 4.22 OTA through amon ra just like the directions said. Upon reboot, it loaded into fastboot where i had a PC36IMG of amon ra 1.8 with a .76 eng hboot. in the past, it would skip the hboot because i was on 2.10 hboot (non-downgradable as far as i know). Well this time it went thru and i got .76 eng hboot. (kinda freaked me out at first) Does this mean that the hboot on the official OTA is unlocked?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahauss:
Let me ask.. if I am on SPRINT LOVERS ROM, and I download the OTA rooted version from the link and install over top of what I have, what will happen? I dont want to erase anything on my phone....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mario1965:
This is awesome. I updated from 3.7xx to the new 4.xx using amon ra and I lost root. THis fixed it following steps 6 and on. THis is not pointless because it allows you to update from where you were instead of installing a new ROM.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahauss:
BUT what about using the rooted version of the update?? I assume doing that will NOT lose root? do I need to do anything if I am on sprint lovers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahauss:
do I need Amon RA Recovery 2.3 with the rooted version of this update? how can I use the rooted version to UPDATE my phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] greyopaque:
I'm confused too. I thought a ROM was basically a "ghost" image, or snapshot of an installation. If so, I don't see how I'll be able to retain apps and data, unless they're stored somewhere thAt the rom won't touch. I'm under the impression that the OTA contains scripts that delete obsolete things, and install other things, leaving user apps and data intact. Does flashing a rom have that same functionality? There seems to be a lot of conflicting info. Why do so many rom posts require a complete wipe of the phone? I basically want the exact same effect as taking an OTA, and then rooting, with my phone left the exact way I had it set up, only better (rooted). I don't want to go through all the TB restores, etc., since I read how that doesnt always work as intended, and I don't have tons of free time in my life for tweaking things, fixing bugs, etc. so basically here is what I want to know... I'm 2 versions behind, since I never took 3.70. Now, pretending that a root exploit was available for GB, in my imaginary world I would take 2 OTAs and then root the phone. I would have the latest stock rooted phone, and all my apps and data. The OP method seems like this would give me the exact same result. If I manually flash just the latest rom and radios, would that give me EXACTLY the same result? I'm s-off btw.

Thanks for any clarification
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahauss:
Yes. Someone explain...

* Im on sprint lovers rom . what are the exact steps to upgrade to GB without erasing ANYTHING?

* what, if anything isnt going to work? I know NETFLIX has issues (although there is now a fix I think), but what else?

* Anything on the custom SL rom such as the custom ICONS or BATTERY percent ICON, and notification buttons, will they still be there?

* will I be able to use SETCPU to underclock for POWER OFF and is there a custom kernel like I have now for AUTO BUMP CHARGE? I dont think I can use the same kernel I have??

* When upgrading does this put back all the STOCK JUNK that a lot of us removed and can we still remove it again if it does?? I know some ROMS say stock apps are uninstallable..

anything else we should know??

[Nook Color General] sangandongo:
Yeah, yeah. Sounds like a million other posts. I am a unix/linux sort of guy, so I'm quite familiar with navigating and working in *nix based operating systems.

Here is the synopsis:

Without an SD card, the device will not boot. I can hear the USB cycle and I'm stuck at a black screen. Sounds normal so far.

After booting up CWM, I can adb in. My first step was to check devices.

/dev/block # cd /dev/block

cd /dev/block

/dev/block # ls

ls

loop0 loop5

mmcblk0p2

ram10 ram15 ram6

loop1 loop6

mmcblk1

ram11 ram2 ram7

loop2 loop7 platform ram12 ram3 ram8

loop3

mmcblk0

ram0 ram13 ram4 ram9

loop4

mmcblk0p1

ram1 ram14 ram5

As you can see, there are a few missing block devices. I proceeded to mount each of these. Only mmcblk0p1 had anything on it: the boot partition, as I expected. Mmcblk1 was the device name for the SDCard, which deviates from what I would have expected. Blk0p2 contained nothing and was not mountable.

Next, I tried to do a 'mknod' to create the devices. This was successful to a degree, but did not actually create working devices. I attempted to mkfs.ext2 on them, that failed. For grins, I tried it on p1 and p2. The only one that worked was p1.

At this point, I decided to try and flash the boot.img I retrieved from here: "mrm3.net/nook-color-recover-any-bricked-device/" and see what I could do to get the device up and running - any self booting would be an improvement, I thought. This too failed. The 'dd' was successful and the partition now contained boot info, but when i tried to boot up, I still received a black screen:

/dev/block # dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

144522+0 records in

144522+0 records out

73995264 bytes (70.6MB) copied, 44.914978 seconds, 1.6MB/s

/dev/block #

When I try to flash ANY rom, I get failures - obviously because there's no place for them to flash to.

'dmesg' doesn't contain any useful information. The device seems hosed. The last rom I was running was Cyanogen nightly #69, which wouldn't allow me to mount SDCard or do anything useful. When I tried to install nightly #80, I found that the device was no longer usable.

Hopefully this was thorough enough, I refrained from typing out the obvious stuff, but please feel free to suggest things. I'm stumped. I still think it can be saved, but I don't have a ton of hope.

Thanks a lot for giving this a read. I really hope someone can help out.
