I havent lost root with temp root+ overclock either:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] AnalyzeFaith:
Everytime I do adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework I lose all my dalvik cache. It makes me log back into the market/facebook etc. Why does it do this?
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
First off: This is a Paid app so I will not Post the App its self, This is just a Guide to make Root Explorer Work with our Perma-Temp Root so you never Lose Root Access via Root Explorer!

You need to know how to use smali & able to resign apk's, I wont be covering a how-to for those steps..

Step 1.).. De-compile Root Explorer using smali

Step 2.).. Open the File CommandShell.smali located at > \smali\com\speedsoftware\rootexplorer\CommandShell.smali

Step 3.).. Find the Strings

const-string v8, "/system/xbin/su"

const-string v7, "/system/bin/su"

const-string v6, "/data/bin/su"

Step 4.).. We now change those string to match these

const-string v8, "/sbin/su"

const-string v7, "/vendor/bin/su"

const-string v6, "/system/bin/su"

Step 5.).. baksmali it & resign the apk

Step 6.).. Unistall the current version of Root Explorer

Step 7.).. Now we can install via adb install or off the sdcard

That's it.. Hope that helps everyone with Root Explorer!

~Eugene
[HTC EVO 3D] willy900wonka:
adb shell ln -s /vendor/bin/su /system/bin/su

Think it will work? I'll try it tonight and let you know.

Method:

Set system to rw.

Do the symlink : adb shell ln -s /vendor/bin/su /system/bin/su

Results:

Rootexplorer Works as root:

The real unknown is how long will this last.

Thanks for the symlinks.
[HTC EVO 3D] eugene373:
I think everyone has already tried that... I know I have, when the symlinks fail you are left with no Root for Root Explorer though.

[HTC EVO 3D] kaos420:
weird but my i downloaded root explorer and it works so does es explorer. i can see my root items. weird.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
But can you edit those items, or any items in your root folders?

Not sure what the issue is with Root Explorer, but ES File Explorer can edit system files just fine for me without having to jump through any hoops, I've been using Eugene's old Perma-Temp Root from last Saturday (thanks Eugene!).

I've edited the SD card read-ahead buffer value in /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/170:0/read_ahead_kb to 4096 and it's stayed there all week.
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
Been rooted nearly all week, and just tried it... Root explorer still works. Just added a comment on build.prop to test. Made the change and created the backup file, then erased the backup file
[Nook Color General] PoisonWolf:
Hi guys,

I was wondering, when I use certain touch-test applications, if I were to just hold my index finger down on the center, the application would show that it registers the touch at you'd be able to see the marker. However, my question is whether it is normal for that marker to "jitter". Meaning, it'll just "jitter" in a small area around my finger.

I'm guessing this is a normal side effect of capacitive screens?

Cheers.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mobileusman:
try re flashing it with the stock original ROM from your carrier website or google. and make sure the rom is for your TP2 (gsm/cdma) ... did u flash the radio?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If you are able to get into the bootloader, then just try performing a task29, and then get back into the bootloader and flash the ROM again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
also try hard reset: press the phone and end call button at the same time you press the power button.

Hey,, I recently got my galaxy s2 and im new in the android thing,, i want to flash my phone to litening rom but im worried that i might brick it,, what are the chances that i may brick my phone? tnx and more power
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
The risk is very small as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. Read from start to finish a few times before doing anything and double check everything. It's actually all very easy and straightforward :)

Edit: and have a look at the thread about backing up your EFS folder before flashing (you'll need root) it's in the dev section somewhere.

But how hard is it to really brick a SGS2 ?

I think i read about 1 person who couldnt get his phone up and running again .

SGS2 i belive is really hard to brick.

Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
There are enough who totally brick a phone in the course of a year . But its hard to do plenty of oh hell moments but recovered flashing stock rom .

Brick tends to be a misused term SGS brick means it should work after flashing stock rom via odin . Other phones brick means dead phone return to factory no hope .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
As long as you never tick "Re-Partition" and insert the PIT in Odin its almost imposable to brick unless you somehow nuke the bootloader(which you shouldn't be able todo via flashing custom roms).

I dont even think theres much of a chance of radio bricks, worst that happens is that you have to re-flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterdroidXDA:
I think once the radio is corrupted a new flash is impossible, well it is on HTC devices;)

As long as one of the (secondary) bootloaders is still intact and you can get into download-mode (maybe by using the USB jig), then yes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork05:
Being new to flashing I was also very scared at the start. I was pulling my hair out when the first time I flashed a new rom and got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily I backed up the entire system and I was able to restore.

Make sure you do a back up of your system first.

The first time its scary, I had no nails after the first flash lol. But after that its fun, just make sure to read everything and follow the instructions to the letter.

Good Luck!!

Sim card not recognized

I have rooted by galaxy s2 and my phone fails to recognize the sim card and unfortunately I didn't backup my original rom to restore the previous settings

I tried various things: hard reset, install alternative (custom) roms all seem to have no effect on the sim card.

I am getting quite frustrtated with this, is there an original ROM for my location (GREECE, VODAFONE) to try with odin ? I should note that my mobile seems not to connect with the PC when I try to connect it via kies (odin works instead)

Is there a possibility that the phone's card sensors are physically damaged, thus return it for repairs ?

Thanks for your time

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S2 i9100.

I was using ODIN to update de OS but I left checked the RE-PARTITION

box and now it´s dead.

I think that I erased the main memory so I can´t turn it on, no

charge, no nothing.

I couldn´t even enter in Download mode.

So I think it needs a hard reset... can you help me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L-Systems:
same problem :) if some one can answer this :) i will be happy :)

was using odin with checked re-partition and now its dead

SGS2 - Download mode but no recovery

Hi!

I have a bit of a problem here as well when i was trying to flash back to the stock firmware. Now when I try to get to the clockwork recovery mod, I get the famous dead screen with symbols of mobile phone, exclamation point and a pc. I have been searching solution to this problem for hours now, and still I don't want to quit.

My previous custom rom was installed in with no problems. Litening rom 3.0.

Now, with usb jig i can get into the download mode, no problem there. It just seems that the traffic is just jammed.

Download mode works but Odin doesn't transfer anything. Gets stuck on the factoryfs.img while i'm trying to flash. Kies doesn't recognize the phone but pc recognizes the USB device with no problem. Original stock firmware doesn't load on the phone. Odin just stops transferring.

Things I've tried so far.

-Reflash (both litening rom again and stock firmware) with odin (Kies is not on while I do this, I checked)

-Kies (doesn't work)

-Download mode does work but it seems that phone doesn't accept any files.

-I tried the one-click unbrick which seemed to do something god but failed at the end.

What could I still try? I'm running out of options now.

I apologize for my bad english.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
Make sure Kies isn't running in the background (kill all processes) when running Odin also change the USB port. This worked for my brothers phone the other day.

Ricey
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarzi:
Well now the situation has changed...

Odin still finds the phone and I found a good stock firmware to flash it. Now it gets stuck in the factoryfs.img part... hasn't moved for 30 minutes now... sigh... I was already getting some hope about this.

Changing usb ports did not help for me.

I am looking for guidance this time.....I have a Nexus s I9020 (t mobile version) and a couple weeks ago I don't know what happened really but i may have been messing around with a newer version of clockwork recovery late one night .... then the phone wouldn't boot past the google screen and I couldn't do anything to fix it... I tried to figure things out the next day and this is a list of things i have figured out...

1. in clockwork it can't mount anything....like anything at all pertaining to the internal memory/storage

2. I was tired and irresponsible

3. I tried fastboot just about everything

4. I tried flashing newer/older versions of clock work......nothing worked

5. I have tried downloading and installing roms via adb and fastboot but an error message comes up...

6. now this I know is dumb on my part, but make fun of me as you will... I fastboot locked the device......I know it was stupid because now when I type in fastboot oem unlock it hangs and does nothing after I check unlock on the phone...

I can get into fastboot mode and it says no boot or recovery img?

now if I had access to the internal memory I would def. be able to go back to stock but there in lies the problem what on earth can i do to make this thing a paper weight?

this is what i'm talking about, the bootloader doesn't unlock it just hangs .... any thoughts?

I can't get it into download mode, I can't boot.. wtf did I do??? I followed the instructions to a friggin T!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
odin back to stock

1. Start Odin

2. Plug USB cable into pc

3. Power off the Phone.

3. Pull the Battery.

5. Plug USB cable into Phone.

6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.

7. Re-insert the battery.

8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.

9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,

10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

Or try that same method without holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb that works for some ppl

No your phone is not completely bricked. I rescued my phone many times from that screen. Connect your phone to another PC, install ODIN & samsung drivers. Make sure that the phone is recognized,

ON ODIN Select only the phone.

use any modem file using Phone

Click start that should bring your phone back to life.

Search for Eugene Froyo that does not brick and start from there.

First i tried normal download mode, that didnt work.. then i tried pulling out battery, plugging in, holding vol buttons and putting bbattery in... this worked

But then i stupidly.tried tto flash the froyo bootloaders again (from cm7)... same exact issie excrpt the solution didnt work this time... this time i had to make a jig...

Once your in download mode, odin with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... meaning open odin, plug in dl mode, once recognized, click start.. no pit.or pda or modem or anything and dont touch the repartition or whatever bullets. This wworked for me, it just rebooted into cm7 immidietly (:

Then if you want froyo bootloaders, do a nandroid, odin to stock, flash em, flasg cm7 and restore the nnandroid.. good luck
