[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_red:
Hi guys,

I am new to android os. I wanted to root my phone which has os 2.3.3 installed. I was following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133650. It says first downgrade with flashtool to 2.3.2 then root it then upgrade to 2.3.3. Downloaded 2 firmwares, global versions 2.3.2 .181

First of all when I click flash button in firmware selection screen firmware content tab only shows simlock.ta but in videos which I watched there were many files listed. If I open usb debugging mode and connect my phone flashtool cannot find driver and ask me to choose manually how ever I copied LT15.sin file to loaders folder. If I turn off usb debugging mode (unknown sources are open) and follow screen instructions, flashtool starts flashing and immediately stops and tells me to remove usb, open phone and open unknown sources and usb debugging on. I did not try resetting my phone to factory defaults. I think problem is my computer, running windows 7, and cannot see other file than simlock.ta in flashtool's firmware selection screen firmware content tab. Any help is appreciated. :confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
It should work no problem.

Did you have both PC companion and SEUS installed on your comp? You need both for the drivers.

Some people have trouble using the lastest beta flashtool, so you might want to use the older one (the one before the lastest beta).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_red:
I have update service and pc companion installed and tried both 2.9 and 2.8 :( tried from both of them but I cannot downgrade :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_red:
I got ss about errors.

Usb Debug mode and unknown sources are open.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Have you tried re-downloading the ftf file you wish to flash?

Because it seems that there's some sort of issue with the file you have.

Also, what version of Flashtool are you using?

Because I've never been prompted to choose what model of handset I have.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_red:
I downloaded ftf file from different sources (different sites). I used both 2.9 and 2.8 versions. Does factory reset wipes data I want to try with factory reset and then remove phone's drivers from computer remove companion and seus start from beginning:mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datagubben:
I had similar problem before, but it was my mistake. I did not put the files in the firmware folder seperetly, I put the whole folder instead and that was wrong. Hope this helps? :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_red:
I put ftf file directly into firmwares folder. :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datagubben:
Stupid question, but did you un-zip the firmware files?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_red:
I unziped ftf file (one file) and pasted it directly into firmwarares folder. I think my problem is with java, eventhough I removed and installed java to solve problem it did not work. In flashtool flash section, firmware contents tab there was only simlock.ta is saw. I tried with flashtool 2.4 version and it showd all sin files in firmware content tab. 2.8 and 2.9.1 is not working for me. Tried desktop and laptop pc both have same problem. For people who will face with my problem my advise is using Wotan servers. I flashed 2.3.2 and rooted then OTA upgraded to 2.3.3 with Wotan servers.

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
I recently bought a new Desire S which works great with me. I installed an update that upgraded my hboot from 0.98 to 0.98.0002. Now I need to s-off it using AlpharevX but it only supports 0.98. My question is: is there a way to downgrade it into 0.98? I followed another guide on the site that didn't help at all & didn't even provide the right rom. Any help :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
not sure but i think that u need to flash stock rom with 0.98.0000 then s-off ....maybe someone can provide hboot 0.98.0000 image
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
that's exactly what i've been hoping for. hope someone could do that :(
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Extract it from a RUU or wait until I get home and upload it.
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
Please, I beg you upload it when you can. This would be a great favor for me. Just when excatly do will you return (so I would when to check as there is a big time difference here in Egypt :p) Thanks in advance :D.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?tiuuiuoc70k3q0j

Remember ! I will not be responsible if you brick your phone. It worked for me though.

Good luck !
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
ok, thanks so much but I have a very silly question. How do I flash the .img? I know its a very silly one but I'm still a bit of a noob in Android :D
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Reboot your phone into Bootloader and then choose Fastboot.

Open a cmd window, cd into your android sdk folder and then type:

fastboot flash hboot example.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

*replace example with the name of the img.
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
I did what you said but when I write "fastboot flash hboot saga_hboot_0.98.img" it displays:

{sending 'hboot' (1024 kb)...

OKAY [ 0.189s]

writing 'hboot'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.339s}

any idea what might be causing the signature check error?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
I suggest you to flash a RUU and then S-OFF it.

Better and safer.
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
ok, steps? :D
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca1...0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe

download this one and install. put ur phone on usb
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
u sure? i have a slow (but unlimited) net & what should i do after that, just run the installer & it will downgrade the hboot?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Exactly. It will replace everything: ROM, radio, hboot, etc.

L.E: Have you checked this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078497 ?
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
actually, yes. I've tried the following but it didn't work. Every time I reach step 10 it finishes but doesn't change anything. And I have another question but its out of the topic, if I flash Virtuous Unity ROM, will games & apps recognize the device as HTC Desire S & be compatible or what?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Yes, your device will be recognized as Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
Ohh, that's a great relief. Thank you so much for your help up till now. Hope it works out in the end. Sadly, I won't be able to continue the process today & I'll have to continue tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll immediately post the result when I wake up & finish the process (probably I'll wake up here at about 8:30 - 9:00) & the download takes 30 min. so I'll post the result at about 11:00 - 11:30 in Romania :D.
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
Ohh thank you so MUCH. It worked!! Luckily I backed up all my things first. The most important thing is, my hboot is now 0.98.0000! Thanks a million again :D.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Really glad it all worked out nicely. Have a nice time testing ROMs !
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir1:
Yeah, got Cyanogenmod & Virtuous Unity but liked Virtuous more. Anyway, thanks so much for all your help :D. As for anyone that needs to downgrade his hboot, I suggest that he downloads this program & it will do all the work: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca1f...977_signed.exe. Not my fault if it bricked your phone or if it didn't work but it worked for me. & note that it will erase every thing on the device so back up first.
[HTC Desire S] Bubaaak:
Is possible to re-S-ON AlpharevX S-Offed device using that RUU?
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Currently no. We have to wait until AlphaRev team will provide a hboot with no protection.

If so, how can I downgrade to 0.98.000, and can I use the software posted in this section? Thanks a lot for your helop
[HTC Desire S] edwin_anh:
Dear Bro, any help for me? :D
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
Geez. Someone really needs to clean up that thread. I tried to follow it, but it's 9 pages of people whinging about this that and the other. How do people follow forums like this? A simple sticky would be nice.

I also can't post in that thread, since apparently I'm new, even though I created my account about a year ago. Oh well.

I simply need to downgrade to 0.98.0000 so I can run alphrevx and gain root. The only reason I want root is so I can restore all my saved games with MyBackup pro. Amazing android make it so hard for you to switch from one phone to another. Can't seem to do it without losing all of your game saves.

So in short, I have 3 questions, 2 of which I am pretty sure I know the answer to.

1) Do i need root to backup/restore saved games (I believe yes, MyBackup Pro website FAQ confirms this)

2) Do I need to downgrade to 0.98.0000 to achieve S-OFF (I believe yes, AphaRevX website confirms this)

3) If I go through the crazy process required to downgrade, and I achieve S-OFF successfully, will I receive OTA updates from my network supplied (telstra), and will those OTA updates wipe away my S-OFF.... this question may be irrelevant, once i've restored my save data on the new phone, i really don't care if i lose root or not
[HTC Desire S] sabkt:
Dear. i have a desire s too , which i rooted by revolutionary nice and easy :-) but now i want to turn s-on again and i forgot which hboot it had 002 or 000. i need your help as i want official sense 3 on my set ..its europe unbranded i have ruu but it faiks to reboot when i install it.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
It shouldn't matter to which one you downgrade to. Also if you want sense 3 you will need to install a RUU which has a v2 hboot so it really doesn't matter to which hboot you once were.

Also the RUU won't replace the rev hboot you'll need to first flash a eng hboot.

How did you use the RUU..???

Please help me out brother

Testers no longer needed...turns out there is no improvement to the old version. Back to the drawing board.

Hello all,

I made a slight change to the PhoneWindowManager.smali and it seems to improve how quickly the orientation switches to portrait after a reboot (has been working immediately after first unlock for me). From my limited testing I also feel it will be less glitchy as sometimes weird things happened with the orientation in the current one. I am looking for a few others who would be willing to test and make sure everything is good.

The PhoneWindowManager.smali is attached

The instructions on how to install are here (Advanced users only)

Thanks for your help
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Do you need to install the original portrait mod that you linked to to use this?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
It's a smali script, it only relys on the original file to modify.

I'm willing to test for 191 if you make the edited policy.jar
[Streak 5 General] Deleted member 3105162:
Don't need the original mod, just follow the same steps only use the smali file attached to this thread.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxWalker37xX:
Great question, I recently flashed GB 2.3.4 kernal onto my VZW tab and worked perfect using Odin3. I attempted to install CWM which was also successful, but on restart it went directly to a black screen even after a factory data/wipe within clockwork. From what I gathered as of now this is not possible as the problem is that ALL of the kernels that exist with CWM are ext4 froyo kernels, but the new kernel source for GB doesn't contain ext4 code. If anyone has been successful with doing this please let me know and I hope that answered your question !!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralexand:
I went through the process of rooting and installing 3.1 yesterday on my I/O edition of the Galaxy Tab. I ran into a couple of snags because:

1) I cannot boot into recovery using a button combination (see image)

2) 'adb reboot recovery' will simply turn off the device while I am on 3.1 (works on 3.0.1)

So, I eventually got it all fixed. Had my tab running the Touchwiz UX with root. Then I needed to use Busybox but did not have that installed. So, I used pershoot's package to install root, busybox, etc. Upon flashing that file, I lost root. Now I am unable to boot into recovery because I am back on a 3.1 version where adb does not work and I cannot use any apps to reboot to recovery because I lost root.

How can I get a non-rooted version of 3.1 into recovery?

Also, why can I not get fastboot to work? I have the drivers installed, and when the device is in fastboot & plugged in, I see a fastboot in my Device Manager. But fastboot devices yields no results.

In the attached images -- 0702 shows the screen I get when I use the POW + Vol Down combination -- a USB icon (taking me into fastboot) and download mode for ODIN.

0708 is just the screen showing fastboot when I select the USB icon at that screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmassari:
You cant boot into recovery with hardware buttons on the I/O TAB 10.1

this is what i done:

http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c

= PDA SIGNED P7105.tar.zip (ODIN REQUIRED TO FLASH)

Dont worry about the P7105 .. this is for the P7510 (TYPO)

This is Android Honeycomb 3.0 ... However, you have root & su.

Once you are all booted:

1-Go to market

2-Install Clockworkmod Recovery.

3- flash clockworkmod recovery for the tab 10.1

download the update.zip (Touchwiz UX) and put it in the root of you SD card.

download su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511 and put it in the root of your sd card.

go to clockworkdmod on your tab & choose reboot into recovery option.

flash the update.zip (touchwiz ux)

flash the su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511

data/factory wipe

reboot....

you will have 3.1 Touchwiz UX & root.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
why don't you guys grab the bootloader.tar.md5 file from stock roms, and flash them via odin! Than you can choose between odin(download) and recovery directly with keys combo.

Check this out...full of info on cm and our encore..

http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/

Originally on android central....
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
I have to admit this is pretty cool information. I think this is important to get app devs to realize that if they target the nook color, they could look at well over 100k in downloads for a specific issue. I would really like to get screebl on this device since it helps with power management to some degree. I also don't like the screen going dim while I am still and reading something important.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Wait...what?

First, that list shows 13,337 CM7 installs for the NC ("encore" in CM dev terms).

Second, the way app devs would be most likely to "target the nook color" would be porting to B&N's proprietary market.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Be nice if didn't have to screw up these stats in order to use Netflix. :(
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
Ahh, I didn't bother scrolling down. I thought the top number was encore specific. It's a lot less.
[Nook Color General] Minjin:
Those numbers should be a good wakeup call for the people who think that the Android hacking community is large and powerful. There are over 130 million Android devices out there and the largest, most popular distribution has just 500k downloads? Always good to keep perspective.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
There are a few post in here I don't understand as they aren't in any form of English I am familiar with...

I always opt out and delete cmstats, I'm very picky about what gets to eat up my precious RAM.

The power users are always the minority, but we are a very important group of consumers, the power users have influence over their non-techie friends. Power users can have a very loud voice when we want be heard..
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Where the NC is concerned, I think the dev community (including adopters) has been instrumental in keeping the device on the radar for tech writers, bloggers, youtubers and forums, thereby building Nook buzz and brand recognition. B&N would not have been able to take the position they have in the market without us.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
I tend to agree. Tech writers and bloggers are far more technically competent than the average consumer and so are attracted to this sort of thing and write about it. There is a spillover effect for Barnes and Noble. Consumers read the stories and the thing that most of them take away from it is that the Nook Color is a cool iPad alternative. 98% of the people who go out and buy an NC won't even root it, let alone install CM7. So the end result is B&N builds up its internal community of users, consumers get a decent pseudo-Android tablet at a very nice price, and the rest of us (the 2% who do a total conversion) get to hack it into the best price/performance 100% Android tablet on the market.

Everybody wins.
