make a backup with xRec or CWM?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
You need to use booy hijacking check any chargemon file in cm mod

Try to apply it on stock and put ramdisk in /system/bin

(Chargemon is also in bin)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] movelbit:
thank you for the reply (big thanks!)

I already tried to extract ramdisk from boot.img, but I cannot find the correct boot.img

Where should I get that?

I dont see it on flastool firmwares or xrec backups.

All I have in flashtools are amss.sin amss_fs.sin cache.sin fota0.sin fota1.sin kernel.sin loader.sin system.sin userdata.sin
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
you can use the regular ramdisk however you'll need to change chargemon to extract your chroot correctly.

best would be to make a copy of stock roms / path files and copy these into your ramdisk (see ramdisk which files you'll need)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] movelbit:
but you mean all ramdisk files are the same?

could I just take ramdisk from your CM6 v5?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
not all the same but yes they do the same thing basically. some are tweaked a bit considering the configuration.

but the point is the ramdisk just chroots the system from virtual extracted path to system root. and provides the files for booting.

so you should be able to use the ramdisk.

of course be careful ;) no gurantee
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] movelbit:
thanks for the reply.

I will try a manual path / dir creation

What files on /data would be present on a clean stock ROM? :-s

If I format data on xrecovery and imidiatly make a backup, that data.img created should have the ramdisk files. am I right?

well at least in theory :o

EDIT: data.img from xrecovery didnt work. I will try to get the file structure from your ROM Manager Data Backup :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
What exactly you want to do on stock? IMHO, there's not anything good like for making something like a ramdisk, you can just run Sh scripts...

I have the Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint. I've had it for a month and a half, maybe 2 months now? Lets say I run into a problem or something one of these days and my phones LEGIT bricks. No download, recovery, charging, anything. I remember with T-Mobile and HTC when I had my G1, I had a one-year warranty. one time my phone bricked and they replaced it for me free of charge. Do I have that with Sprint and Samsung for my Epic 4G? Just want to make sure. Thanks.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsosmrtgeek:
also you can go online to samsung.com and register there i did will all of my phones, tv and mp3 player and the spare battery charger :) sorry about the first post of mine being way off ur topic well i guess not way off. but still not the answer you wanted. after it is register you can submit a repair for the phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I may be wrong here but I believe you could add TEP and once it has been 30 days then you would be able to get your phone replaced if you haven't already reported your problem to Sprint. I think TEP has to be on your plan for 30 days before they will let you use it. Its not like you are just trying to get a different phone because yours won't allow 1.4 overclocking. It sounds like you are having legitimate issues....so don't flame me Sprint employees about working the system
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
Hello all, this is my first post (feel free to yell N00000b LOL) so I'll try to be right to the point since I just need advice on a couple of things to keep on going on my learning process (with the tutorial threads and guides).

I got my P500 off of the local eBay (I'm on Venezuela), it was a great deal for a unit with a couple of months of use (had original invoice) and the phone is really "like-new". The thing is that the guy who sold it to me is himself a modder (probably he's around here somewhere) so the phone is already rooted and it's running a custom ROM (and it's supposedly overclocked). As far as I can tell (by comparing the description and installed apps) the ROM that's installed is the one on this thread:

Light 2.2.2 ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018839

My about screen reports the following:

Model number: LG-P500

Android version: 2.2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 lg-electronics@ubuntu #36 The Feb 10 23:04:17 2011

Build number: FRG83

Software version: V10h-FEB-23-2011

One thing that I should mention is that he deleted all data and apps that he had installed after flashing the custom ROM (or probably he just reflashed the custom ROM prior to giving me the phone), so there's no app for controlling CPU clock, Terminal, BusyBox, etc (I know I'll have to install those from the Market).

My specific questions are this:

1.- Should I have any special considerations on my learning process (with the tutorials and guides) since I'm not starting with a stock phone as most other users?. I want to get to the point of installing/testing other ROMS (it seems that the one on the phone is not one of the most populars around here)

2.- I've read some horror stories around most forums regarding the infamous "radio.img" file and how you can damage your phone data connection if you mess around with that file, but on the guides around here I don't see much mentions of that file. How can I prevent messing around with it?. Is that file part of the custom ROMs or what?. I should mention that my cell operator here in Venezuela is "Digitel", and they operate on the 900 Mhz band for GSM and 3G UMTS/HSDPA service (the other 2 operators here use 850 Mhz for 3G).

Thanks in advance for your advice
[Optimus One, P500, V General] digkong:
U don't need to be horrified with that radio image coz in our phone Ive never seen any update for that so basically u never need to mess with it.. go ahead and flash a gb rom maybe void.. with Franco's kernel.. and follow the steps provided in the respective threads..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] N00b-un-2:
I wouldn't be concerned about the lack of default apps. You can get them pretty much everywhere here on the forums. Also, Light is not exactly the greatest rom available for the Optimus. I would highly recommend flashing Mik's CM7, but if you'd rather stick with something closer to stock then use Megatron.

Megatron was my first ROM, I ran it for several months. Then I switched to Void for a while, and then when Void was discontinued I waited til Miks CM7 was out of Alpha status and flashed it. Haven't gone back since.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
Thanks for your replies... I was under the impression that the "radio.img" file had something to do with the specific radio frequencies that your operator uses for 3G, so if let's say your operator is 3G-900 Mhz and you flash a "radio.img" for an operator that's 3G-850 Mhz, then your phone will not connect to 3G anymore. My doubt is that I don't know if that infamous file can be accidentally flashed when you're installing new ROMS, or if that file is a different story and flashing ROMs does not mess with that file.

I just don't want to be stupid and start flashing ROMs without the proper precautions to avoid bricking my phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
Hi guys... I got a response from a guy on another forum who told me that the precaution that I need to take is to always check the content of the .zip file of the ROM that I want to flash (looking inside without unzipping) and just confirm that there is no "radio.img" inside the zip. If the file is not there then I'm good to go. Is that right??

Now I need to move on into installing a Custom Recovery (he sold me the phone already rooted but with no custom recovery installed). AmonRA or ClockWorkMod??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Since you say the phone already runs a custom rom then that means you *may* have custom recovery if the guy hasn't removed it. As for the radio.img, no roms for the p500 mess with it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
clockworkmod ...you can use rom manager (download from market) to install it......and try void# forever
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
You're definitely right on that mihir287... now that I'm understanding things a bit more it makes sense that the phone should have a Custom Recovery already installed since it's running a custom ROM. How can I test/check this??... just by using the key-combo to boot into recovery mode and see what happens?

In the case that he had removed the custom recovery what would happen if I attempt to boot into recovery mode?

If I want to go ahead and install ROM Manager to install ClockWorkMod... will that just replace any previous custom recovery (if it existed) and give me the new one?

(Sorry if I'm asking too many stupid questions :o )
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
There are no stupid questions as this is a unique case :)

Yes just turn off the phone and press home+vol down+power. Remember to keep this pressed till the phone boots onto recovery, or if there is no recovery the phone will boot normally.

If the guy has removed the recovery (i.e replaced it with stock recovery) then this combo will do a 'hard reset', which I think removes all apps so make sure to take a backup using titanium first.

And yes if you use rom manager and flash the recovery then it will replace any recovery you have. So I would say just use rom manager and flash recovery because if you already have recovery or not this method will flash you CWM recovery. Make sure to reboot once before using rom manager.

Don't know if its my lockscreen only but whenever I have the weather lockscreen and its in the triple digits (eg. 100 degrees and over) right after you the weather animation the temp won't display properly. If its 100 or over the 1 will be to close to the right edge and you won't be able to see it. Anyone else getting this.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
yeah i also noticed this too and it annoyed me so much, i was like wtf is 02 degrees, instead of 102...but yeah i hope this gets fixed somehow
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
just tried it on mine. Yep, same issue. very odd. I've also noticed that on the clock when it's over 100 & clouds are there the 1 is covered up
[HTC Sensation] nextonline:
Mine is fine
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
are you in an area with 100+ weather? if not, of course yours is fine. this thread is stating that once it hits 100 it gets wonky

Man this six on htc part on how this could be overlooked, really hope this gets fixed soon. It no biggie but its just anoying that's it there.
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
Using the weather lock screen. Today I got the bug where the bottom half of the screen was black and the whole lock screen was shifted up. I think someone else posted about this in another thread, but after trying to switch between lock screens it looks like it's specific to the weather lock screen.

If it helps, it seemed to happen after I disconnected the phone from my car charger. When unplugging it, the screen was all screwed up. I just hit the power button and got out. Later when unlocking the phone it looked like the phone was trying to put the lock screen in landscape, but just freaked out and it never lined up again.

Reboot fixed the issue.
[HTC Sensation] Axefield:
I experienced this yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
Yup. That's it.
[HTC Sensation] asj2583:
now that i been using the sensation for a few days now i notice overall sense is really buggy, not just with the lock screen. i had times where the screen wont respond to my touch, launcher force closing and even random reboots. i really hope htc ota a update soon to fix all these issues.
[HTC Sensation] techno_gamer:
get your lock screen back

Battery pull will reset your lock screen to default, I did it with the phone on and screen in portrait mode, but it won't stop it from doing it again.
[HTC Sensation] suhaimidee:
I discovered that should you activate pattern lock, the camera will show no functionalities such as taking picture or anything. It will gave you the viewfinder and nothing else.

This happens when you bring the camera icon into the ring while in locked screen.

i know this is stupid question and i know that this can be found in setting. i already change it before from blue/yellow to black when i was on stock rom. but when i flash litening rom, i cannot find it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
For some reason the KF1 firmware removed the SMS themes. Since Litening Rom is using the KF1, the theme option is gone. I tried the KF1 stock firmware and noticed that option is gone. Not sure if there is a reason for Samsung removing it or if its just that particular firmware version it is gone. Maybe it will be back in a future firmware. You could get it back by going back to KE7 or using a custom rom using that firmware. Thats the only way I can think of to get it back

I'm waiting first to see if the SGSII gets announced for Sprint.

tbh I'm not particularly impressed by this whole 3D screen/camera bandwagon - it's not a feature I'm interested in nor one that I know I'd be using much if at all...

3D aside - most of the reviews I've read side with GSII as being the better phone hardware wise (though both are still impressive :D). They're both dual core and have 1gb ram. But for one, I'd rather have a Su AMOLED + screen after seeing the Epic's screen, plus the camera on it looks great. Although if either phone's battery life is much better than the other, that'd probably be the final deciding factor.

Only downside I see for the gs2 is that it comes with...touchwiz -_-... but since Samsung gave a phone to CM, hopefully that won't be a problem for too long.

Last and certainly not least, most of the xda members I know are going to 3vo so that's going to make the decision harder :(

Regardless of which one I end up choosing I'll probably end up deving for it, at the very least I'll be finally setting up my gerrit account to help with CM.

[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I tried pre ordering through SP early this morning with no luck. I'm stuck with getting mine on Friday which is a good thing since I have $80 in Best Buy gift cards from Christmas, and Sprint gave me a $75 credit on my next bill. So I will be paying $45+tax for the Evo 3D. I'm sure I have some other gift card laying around some where too, so maybe I'll be getting it for free. What would be awesome, but not likely, would be if this thing were rooted on launch day. I could have my phone rooted before walking out of the store.

This is the 1st phone I will have gotten on release day and since I am stuck waiting until Friday it just can not come fast enough. I haven't done any mods to my Hero in weeks in anticipation for the Evo 3D.
