Firstly, thinking about this some more, it's probably easier to just write the stock hboot back with dd or flash PG58IMG.zip (if not blocked by AlphaRev hboot). Secondly, I didn't know that was possible (stopping RUU overwriting hboot) so that's quite surprising. If it is, there would be no need for radio S-OFF anyway.

Edit: Actually without radio S-OFF, would we have issues if we flashed the unsigned eng hboot (if we wanted that extra functionality)?
[HTC Sensation] JBO1018:
From what I saw Alpharev's custom hboot has all the fasboot commands and such that the eng h boots have. Well the ones for inc s and such do.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
That's excellent news. I assume the Inc S version also has the hboot downgrade/RUU/OTA protection of the original AlphaRev like Evil-Dragon mentioned? No need for radio S-OFF at all if that's the case.
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
There is a radio S-Off as part of Alpharev's process otherwise it (the device) would ignore the hboot security flag. This is what I have learned from Alpharev so far.
[HTC Sensation] Namit1994:
Or think that the phone only pretends as if you made the changes but when you reboot it will be normal again.

Anyone with enough knowledge, please, help me resize internal partitions!

[HTC Sensation] dallashigh:
I think anyone with the skills to repartition the Senny (if it's even possible) will realize that ART is not worth it. For some reason people on here think ART will make their phone a trillion times faster... fact is, it will be barely noticeable if at all. Hardly worth the effort.
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
I don't talk about ART, I just want more space on data/ on internal partition, which is actually wasted :/
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Maybe using qstp program...
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
can anyone guide me on how to re format these partitions as my sensation doesent seem to mount the paritions in recovery, i think TWRP messed them up
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
No one to date that goes here now (Sensation forum), knows how to. That is, if even possible. Maybe you'll have better luck asking in the android general/q&a section because AFAIK it would be the same for all devices that use emmc.

I think GB had a different partition table to ICS but not sure, so if s-off try downgrading to hboot 1.17 with an RUU to see.

Otherwise I modified twrp and a mod here to work if only data is messed up, it will use an sd-ext for data instead.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the mod I linked above is only for ivanich's cyanogenmod.

To convince someone that FLASHING the ROM on their GalaxyS or Desire is better than STOCK ROM, most people in general will not do this kind of thing lack of knowledge on the subject plus the thought of breaking it

So in order to make someone feel the need to upgrade from FROYO to GINGERBREAD with S-OFF bootloader etc.......how could you simplify it in a way they will understand
[Off-topic] 3xeno:
I don't convince them. Its their phone and their prerogative. I do link them up to XDA though, and go through basic benefits like smoother operation, better optics, overclocking, some great root only apps etc. But, in the end, I leave it up to them if they want to flash a Custom ROM or not.

Besides, another reason is because I wouldn't want to play tech support every time when each of them run into potential problems flashing ROMs, or experience ROM bugs. :p Another thing is that most people I know with Android phones get intimated and give up reading the first few intro threads for their device, no matter how simple.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Some of them simply don't want the hassle.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
Gingerbread has security fixes and added features. They like music? What about all those equalizer apps only available to 2.3? I'd also mention the option (for low internal memory devices) that rooting allows (in CM at least) apps to be moved to the SDCard that stock does not. I'm sorry if that wasn't what you were looking for, but those are some reasons I gave Sparky (and He's clueless about this stuff)

Froyo by Lazslo

Hi guys,

im back to hacking ^^

well since i work and do alot other things i just bought a Blackberry 9780 and hapily used it all the time since i last posted here. And device is great. I like it alot. There was just a little issue i tought would be nice if it could be fixed. So i asked the retailer i bought it from to send it to BB. The stuttering keyboard is it. Google if u wanna know.

So now. Since i had blackberry i havent used Dream anymore. But back in the time i last posted here the sales guy who sold me the BB had a Dream to. And he advised me to use the Froyo by Lazslo. So now after a view month im back at Dream. I actually pretty havent used it alot.

So now i took my Dream and flashed the froyo by lazslo on it. The slp and radio numbers u can see in my previous post. So not i got the G1 logo at boot and the phone isnt booting. I suppose i did not good just flashing it. Because spl and radio numbers mentioned in the froyo by lazslo thread are not the same as mine. But i thought ok lets try. Wiped and installed the froyo by lazslo rom. And now have G1 logo. Well if i push camera button when booting i get into fast boot.

But can i push some combination to get into recovery to flash for example atleast cgm that atleast worked for me? TO get back to working state? Or what can i do now further to get froyo by lazslo running on it? Does the G1 logo means its bricked or not? Because dont know really? Have googled and found that theres posibility to do something via cmd. Any more info on this?

I google further, but dont have alot of time,

Thanks in advance,

Nikolai

Hi all again,

So,

Is it so that i have to unroot and reflash all from the beginning now to jusmp from

HBOOT-1.22.2005 (DREA11000)

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

to

SPL: 1.33.0013d (hboot)

RADIO: 2.22.27.08 / 28.25

let me know please. ty.

edit,

ahh yes,

or can i still do something to flash froyobylazslo with my radio and spl and tont end up with g1 boot screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
There is no need to unroot and start from the beginning. I suggest you to learn how to use fastboot and then read in Terry's 2708 thread how to do the update.

Another hint: After you are on the "new" SPL/radio combo you should check twice whether the ROM you want to install supports this combo, otherwise you will stuck on the G1 screen ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai_D:
this

Hi,

the guy here explains some things,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYg3UmQd5y4

what if i download the radio and spl that i need for froyobylazslo and update them the same way thee guy in the video did. Is it gonna work?

p.s. it looks the link u gave is definitive place aboout that but its difficult to follow
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
On the first look it probably looks difficult, but if you want to root your phone, install unsupported radio and SPL on it, then it's worth to invest some time to learn a bit more of this topic. Otherwise, if you do something wrong or you follow a guide which doesn't comply to your current "configuration" of the phone , risks are high, that it will get bricked. Just my 0.02 cents.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai_D:
back

hi all,

im back to mess with it a littlebit,

I installed Anroid SDK, and now i want to start flashig via fastboot as described in the link posted above.

But i dont get how do i start a CMD. Just starting CMD and writing for example fastboot devices in CMD doesnt do anything.

Any suggestions please?

And yes im googling to.

Thanks,

Nikolai
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
First you need to connect your phone to your PC by USB and get it recognized. You can check that by opening a command line window on your pc and typing

adb devices

if your phone is in "normal" or in recovery mode. You should also check whether you enabled "USB Debugging" in Menu -> Settings -> Development.

You should get a list with your device.

To check fastboot, your phone needs to be in fastboot mode. Switch off and reboot by back-Button pressed. In this case the phone gets into the hboot screen.

Now you can type

fastboot devices

on the command line and if your phone gets recognized, you will see it in the list printed on the screen. If it is not recognized directly and serial0 is printed on the phone's screen, try to press the back button. Then "fastboot" should be written on the screen and you can re-try whether your phone will be recognized.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai_D:
figured

ok i figured that i had to download the fastboot file mentioned here

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot

And the system variable path needed to be configured right.

now i dont have dll error but fastboot devices doesnt show anything,

adb devices does

spoofspl?

Do i have also to do this?

> A Rom (note: many cm6 based roms block install because of the '1.33.0013d' bootloader Please use firerat's SpoofSPL)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9068311&postcount=84
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Depends, what you want to do. Normally this spoofing is needed only when you want to install a ROM which officially isn't supported, but you know that it is runnig with your SPL. Especially when using cMTD you change the partition layout and some ROMs check with the SPL whether the ROM fits into the system partition or not.

1I know this has been asked somewhere but what happens when Asus releases minor updates? We have to flash a new rom that will wipe our data??

2Also if I root using the androidroot.mobi procedure, which will give me cwm + Prime (1.4/1.5) can i flash the stock asus rom? will i lose root?

Please help

PS: I am aware of the pure root method but i cant download the file from megaupload. can anyone upload it on dropbox etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabioRochapt:
You have tutorials to just add root for your stock rom, you have cooked rom like Prime or you have stock roms with root.

A cooked Rom like Prime is good because it has minor changes that improves the experience of using your tablet. Everytime ASUS updates (Android 3.2 coming soon) Prime will also update and u dont need to lose your data.

But you can follow the tutorial, downgrade + root + install recovery and leave the tablet as stock rom just having root. So you can use apps that need root.

If you're scared that one day you gonna need to return the tablet for warranty, there is also tutorials to put it back to the start as if it was new.

So i think you should give Prime Rom a try, you will love it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikh.aurora:
thanks for the quick reply

not so sure about that but ill give it a try

good news is that i wont lose all my data for minor updates in the prime rom(or will i?)

But the q still remains that can i root using that method (get prime) and then install stock rom from asus's website????

Twitter account got hacked a while after starting to use Galaxy Tab, I am thinking the pass from Android was read by some mallware.

A Skype update mentioned a similar thing and asked to update.

If I remember correctly Android was supposed to allow each application to read/write its in its own area in the device, I guess that only applies to the ... "good-ware" applications, the mall-ware can read all the other data.

On the other hand Google can do a great job when it comes to not letting us see/install all applications because we are from some X country. :mad:

I noticed that whenever I'm on WIFI, the GPS icon would come on and blink for a few seconds then go away. It would keep doing this every 3 seconds on the dot.

On 3G, it would not happen.

On stock KG1 ROM, rooted. I have the Widget Locker and the touchscreenfix.

How do I find out what app or process is using the GPS? I even used the Samsung Task Manager to kill all the apps and cleared the memory. I also rebooted. Whatever it is, it simms to start up when the OS starts. Looking at autostarts, there are too many apps listed in the"after start up" category to pin point the offending app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
I think I found the problem. It was the AT&T Mark the Spot app.

I noticed the GPS also comes on when I change charge/discharge state, as well as network state changes. I looked at Autostarts to see what do these have in common, and out of all the other apps, this one is more likely the culprit.

I'd still wish for a way to find out what process is using what resources. Currently, there is no app for that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Htc HD2 Spirit:
There is this app (if your rooted that is), I have it as it allows me to prohibit some permissions of certain apps. Also in a sense enhances security. If you found this helpful don't forget the thanks button (as im trying to build that up! lol).

additionally for security there is also: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout&hl=en

EDIT: LBE lets you know what is using what or what potentially can.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want to prevent the app from accessing GPS, which looks like what those apps you mention can do. I just want to know for future reference if I can find out what app is using what resources.

For example, if I see the GPS keep coming on again even though there isn't anything apparently running, I'd like to know which app or process is using the GPS.

I don't get all the hype over this GB leak seeing as plenty of stuff is broken and it doesn't even have a working lagfix, glad you're sticking with ee4 ;] I personally use Gummycharged 1.8.5 but I've been thinking of switching over to Humble, it's updated VERY frequently(at least once a week, sometimes two or even three times!)and seems to be a speedy/battery saving ROM(well it's at least advertised that way).

So I guess for now I'd recommend Gummycharged since I have actual experience with it(only complaint would be I experience an occasional freeze and then reboot, happens like once a week) but be sure to take a look at Humble if its features appeal to your interests.
