[XPERIA X10 General] Ecip:
ya, with rogers as well... if u speak to one of their service reps or tech support any information they give you regarding an update to Gingerbread I would take as hear-say since they just dont know... you'd need to speak to someone working quite a bit higher up to get a real answer.

I just debranded my x10 yesterday to a generic, running the latest updates, waiting for Gingerbread to come out now so I can update to that.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
He must have gotten a false-positive on the update message.
[XPERIA X10 General] crimus:
I'm a Rogers client, just plugged my phone in to check this and there's no update available for my x10.

At the Rogers SE Play launch party in Toronto I was told that GB would be available to us by now, although I wasn't supposed to say anything about it outside of that party.
[XPERIA X10 General] wali01x:
are you fo real? omgggggggggggggggggggggggg guess what ? do you have proof? recorded audio? recorded phone video or audio? if don't then guess what I don't believe you :D
[XPERIA X10 General] tejash.shiva:
Quick question, if Im on Rogers and want the GB update, what firmware should I flash? And will there be any problems with being on Rogers and having a generic device? Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
There will be no problems having a generic device on Rogers.

I would recommend flashing the Global Generic for X10a

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rmk40:
The first thing anyone is going to want to do once AlphaRev's S-OFF process is complete will be to get your device properly rooted within Android. I have created a simple update zip which will take care of the following for you:

Re-install the stock kernel, using a rooted ramdisk (credit jcase).

Install the Superuser app and su binary in /system/xbin.

Install and setup Busybox in /system/xbin.

Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
This the same file on Rootwiki? Or is it the same minus the kernel?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nicrallred:
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR THE BEST lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
That's the method I used. Worked a treat when I found it at rootzwiki last night. Many thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Is busy box already on cm7?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MotorcycleMike:
Superuser keeps force closing when I use ROM Manager or Wireless Tether.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] androidxen:
I think so. I was told not to install this patch after cm7.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dobosininja:
Try going into the application menu and clear the data for superuser. Fixed my fc problems on my phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
The attached zip goes on the root of the sd card correct? then boot into CWM and install zip?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Fixed mine as well. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ltredbeard:
that is correct
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
Thanks! :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] demersk89:
Sorry maybe this is a stupid question.. How can we use CWM to flash this .zip if CWM won't work without a root first???
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sureshot_:
AlphaRevX patches CWM for your recovery during the S-OFF process. And even if it fails you can follow a guide posted on this forum on how to fastboot it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brocksdad:
I flashed this .zip through CWM and Titanium backup won't work. It's telling me that it is unable to find root. I clicked the "Problems?" button and still nothing happened. I remember with the Eris it would run the busybox after you pushed that button. I might just try to install busybox manually as described on Titanium's wiki.

Any other thoughts before I do that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillybizzle:
I flashed this file on my stock but rooted/soff incredible 2, and i seem to have lost root privileges. Luckyily I made a backup before I flashed this so now I'm back to my original problem, of not being able to fix permissions via rom manger because it doesn't see root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sithben24:
Hey, I have S-Off and patched CWM, but when I hold down the volume button and try to power on, it goes straight to the HTC screen. What am I doing wrong? Does fastboot need to be turned off?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] validoption:
Turn off fast boot in settings>applications. Turn off. Keep down held while powering on.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
Menu/settings/power/uncheck fastboot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sithben24:
Perfect. Thanks guys!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zohner:
Excellent. Just was I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JoeyD1005:
so i flashed this update from cwm and i now have no service. i cannot find a tower or anything like that. What could have gone wrong or what else do i have to do. clockwork said that the update has installed successfully and i have superuser in my app drawer but i still have no service. Help please
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
If you haven't already, I would consider trying to flash the stock kernel that's floating around (I think jcase posted it). If you took a backup first via recovery, restore than and start over.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PearlMikeJam:
Anyone have lag issues after installing this patch? I got S-Off and installed this patch. Everything went fine, but after a night of no use, my phone has some massive lag now. Never experienced this in the past, so it is either related to S-Off or the patch. I have not installed anything new, nor have I flashed a ROM yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
No issues here. Granted, I didn't flash for root from the attachment in this thread, I did it from the one I found on RootzWiki. I'm assuming they're the same though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SkinnyT:
This is a simple question with probably a simple answer, but how to I install the .zip file from CWM? This is my first time rooting so I'm a bit blind right now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vitomins:
My superuser force closes every time I use an app that needs it. The clear data fix only work temporarily, but then next time I need to use it, I get the same problem...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xray49er:
That Happened to me as well. I updated the su.apk then when i clicked in it asked be to update the binary i clicked yes and that fixed all of my force close issues. i updated it through titanium. It gave me an opyion to update the su.apk.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vitomins:
I can't even get Titanium Backup to work...says that I do not have root access :(

EDIT: Wow. Works! I clicked Upgrade Superuser in Titanium Backup, it installed the new superuser version. I think went into the superuser app, clicked log and it asked me if I wanted to install the new binary. After doing this, everything seems to be working. Titanium Backup now has root access and no more FC!

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] t0adman:
EDIT: Never mind...I'm slowing starting to figure out all this shizzz...just a matter of time and digging.

Okay, so I'm struggling a bit coming from rooting a Droid X before this Inc2.

I've successfully obtained S-Off using LinuxMint. I've installed ROM Manager but I'm thinking that is not the correct program (or equivalent of CWM) and can't boot into recovery to install this zip.

Can someone please help a newbie and give me some quick and dirty instructions and maybe a little edumacation on the CWM, busybox, and Titanium Backup? Big thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaxenroth:
Got this ins'd right after running AlphaRevs Soff program. Loaded up Titamium Bu and froze all the vzw bloat. Now waiting for a Rom. Good look guys.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cosmo33w:
S-off but No Super User access

OK, so i successfully loaded the alpharev via linux process to get s-off, and it loaded the CWM. Entered recovery in CWM and ran the zip file provided above. It ran successfully but I re-booted and still no super user access? Is the solution in the super user settings?? I notice there are two other su zip files on the SD card as well.

Many thanks for all the support here from this first time android owner...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rudyutz:
This is awesome. Follow the instructions, and everything will work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jimmydene84:
So rom manager doesnt recognize recovery since we didn't flash it in rom manager.....if we do it in rom manager will it install a previous versin of CW?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mr_wrong_0:
Ok I have run the patch but I still don't have root permissions. It says it flashed correctly in CWM. Busybox Titanium says it can't get root. What am I missing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SortaSmart:
This worked great for me. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] maniac2k:
Has anyone tried to flash recovery from rom manager? Can we use rom manager?

Found the following link in another post so im guessing you can update via rom manager

koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tonemand:
First, thanks to the OP for this info. I struggled a bit after getting root until I realized I needed to perform the steps listed in that post.

For the ROM Manager question, I was able to flash recovery from it, though the first one (4.0.0.4) was done manually through ADB. When I checked ROM Manager for an update, I installed 4.0.0.8 that way, so both methods work just fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] haoyong:
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for this guide/post. Worked very well, and simplified the whole rooting process immensely.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgiitk:
Thanks. Managed to do it first time. Now going in for Titanium and ScreenShot. Any guide to the bloatware which can be removed.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AeonDelirium:
Maybe because the stock kernel it's trying to install onto the Gingerbread software? I'm just guessing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] charleypark:
I got it to work thanks to Greyone. I just flashed another ROM and it booted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
This wont work because the kernal is 2.2. Just flash another ROM that already has it installed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
Or you can flash this and before you reboot flash teh kernal by jcase made for GB

Depends what usage do you want... If it is basic gaming then go for anything at all...but if you want high end gaming like criysis etc then more you spend more juice you get..don't compromise on brand as cheap ones might get over heated and blow up.

Going to be mainly gaming. I play civ 4 and civ 5 mainly
[Off-topic] madnish30:
In that case a 100$ or so card shall be good enough, both nvdia and ati are great... Is you have AMD cpu then go for ATI always a good combo, if you have intel both are good enough.

Hope that helps.
[Off-topic] duryard:
It has a Processor Speed: 3.10 GHz X4 *** 4 CORES *** QUAD Core Processor: AMD Athlon X4 645 so I guess a ATI Then what what specs am I looking for?
[Off-topic] madnish30:
Well go to asus MSI gigabyte etc site loobk for ATI gfx cards for AMDs and then look at the best bewt prices on ebay, besides you can post a couple options here and maybe we can help :)
[Off-topic] 3xeno:
What's your max budget? Look for the ATI / AMD 5770. It's a solid choice, and extremely good VFM after the 6 series release.
[Off-topic] duryard:
A Tenner if I can get away with it on flea Bay :)
[Off-topic] 3xeno:
I dont think you can. The cheapest 2nd hand cards I have seen so far on eBay are going (not yet gone) for more than that.

Anyway, hope you find what you are looking for in that budget. Good Luck. Remember though, at that price, don't expect too much.
[Off-topic] duryard:
Thanks 3xeno. You have pointed me in the right direction. I dont mind dropping back a spec or 2 from what you have suggested to get a decent card on the cheap
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Get a good processor. Civ V is very processor intensive.
[Off-topic] duryard:
The CPU or the graphic card processor?/

Would you care to make some suggestions as to the spec?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Both. Civ V is DX11 capable, and getting a DX11 card will go a long way for your enjoyment. My rig (Phenom II x4 945, 4GB RAM @ 1600, 6950 unlocked to 6970) still stutter when running a HUGE map with several AIs towards the late game. The bottleneck was my processor and RAM. I'd suggest that you use an x6 processor with 8GB RAM if you are serious about playing large-scale strategy games.
[Off-topic] duryard:
Yep. would love to get a x6 processor and 8 GB ram. Dont think the "other half" would be to impressed tho. Gone 4 the best I could afford so its x 4 and 4 gb ram. Which graphic card do you use?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
It's a SAPPHIRE 6950 with unlocked shaders (same count as a 6970). Performance is good. Really good.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jkhonea:
Just got the AlphaRevX rooting done. S-Off, no problems. Got Titanium Backup installed and installed Superuser. After installing Superuser, tried reopening Titanium and it said it couldn't gain root access. The phone said Superuser needed to be updated. Tried that and said the update failed and placed a new Superuser file on the SD card to go into recovery and flash manually. Tried that, failed to flash that file as well.

Any ideas? Anyone else experienced this?

When you get around to running root, if the Windows isn't fixed yet, do the Live CD with Ubuntu. It's not a bad process at all and works perfectly.

Yeah, I'm kind of boning up on how to do it just in case.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlitos66:
Can anybody who has both tablets compare the headphones output volume, sound clarity etc? I had Asus Transformers (3 of them...) and on my last 4 flights I couldn't hear the movie dialogues, that's how low the volume output from Asus was. ( using Sennheiser Noise canceling headphones, with volume switch, volume on Asus all the way up) I am flying between US and Europe 18 times a year and I need tablet that I can load with movies and have entertainment for the 11 hrs flight. I returned Asus because of the volume and other issues, now deciding between Samsung and iPad2.

Please I am not looking for comparison between operating systems, I am leaning towards Samsung at this point, but can't compare the volume in the stores.

Thank you for your inputs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
Have recently replaced ipad 2 32gb with galaxy tab 10.1 and have noted a clear improvement in loud speaker volume on galaxy tab 10.1 owing to dual speakers. Plus 5.1 dolby mobile enhancement further increases the volume giving a richer effect. headphone audio out should be better too though haven't compared as ipad 2 was without earphones but tab comes with nice pair.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PookiePrancer:
I fly A LOT as well and haven't had any trouble with my 10.1 when listening to movies I've ripped. I don't know how you're getting movies on your tablet, but for good measure, you can also amplify the volume as you rip DVDs with some ripping software.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodoomagic:
I've spent time a fair amount of time with the iPad 2 and with the tab, and video playback and sound on the tab is far superior in my opinion.

Watching 720p video on the tab is way better than 1024x768 video on the iPad, and the simulated 5.1 surround sound from the default player is surprisingly good.

Why can't you compare the volume in the store? Walk into best buy with your headphones, load up the same videos on each and give them both a listen.

I appreciate your interest in the kernel source code for the software upgrade to Gingerbread for the HTC EVO 4G. We will typicallypublish theKernel open source code on http://developer.htc.com for recently released devices as soon as possible. HTC will normally publish this within 90 to 120 days. This time frame is within the requirements of the open source community.

If you feel you need more information about this issue, you are welcome to send us another email for further troubleshooting or you can contact the HTC Technical Support team at 1-866-449-8358 daily from 6:00AM until 1:00AM eastern.
