Re download file, and try again.

But you should root your phone first, as after this you can't.

Big Red Letters

I guess some of us are just impatient and now we are paying for that because we have an unrooted and S-ON phone that cannot be rerooted or hacked at all. I am a bit baffled why HTC is still locking the bootloader like this and making it a pain in my ass to unlock it when a lot of us know what we want and how to proceed. I mean is it such a big deal we wish to root the phone and remove bloatware and change some of the config settings ourself? I kinda think not. :eek:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] electronicrice:
That post refers to losing root. People here don't seem to understand that S-Off and root are not the same thing. If people flash this particular file, they lose any and all ability to obtain either root or S-Off until a new exploit can be found for 2.3.4.

Edit: And it's apparent that people don't read threads in their entirety, even a mere two posts down. Something next to the link would probably suffice, but...whatever.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] electronicrice:
They said they won't be locking bootloaders going forward (save for the Sensation and Evo 3D). They never made promises about unlocking the bootloaders for earlier phones. Obviously there are political and monetary reasons behind these decisions, but unfortunately we have to live with them until smarter people find ways around them.

i suppose as only difference between their system and mine is s-off so cid error should be solved with goldcard, in theory that is :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] photolarry:
Please elaborate on this. Seems onto something/

Curious what you mean by gold card...a formatted sdcard with what on it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Do a search or Google it, it'll come right up.

My understanding is that it somehow is the inverse of the cid lock code so it simulates s-off??

Can someone correct me on that?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] photolarry:
Ok I found instructions on unlockr and am going to attempt doing all this as is outlined. Then will try to apply an older RUU exe to overwrite this hboot. Then if that works, I can install stock PD15IMG.zip that I have (froyo orig one) and go through entire root process grankin and others describe. Sound like correct plan of action to get rerooted as well as SU=OFF ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eqjunkie829:
I find this post to be amusing to say the least. Some people are just so impatient. Why would anyone want to flash anything to their 500.00 phone before figuring out what its gonna do!? Hope a fix comes along soon for ya guys though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Teo032:
football always posts his leaks like that and doesn't give any details. I think what he messed up was stating that its a rom in the title though rather than a leak but oh wells, the next 2 posts said not to flash, and the next few pages after said they lose root and s off.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
That's a reputable site, good luck.

Just to be clear, pd15img.zip IS an ruu. So if the goldcard works you should be able to flash pd15img.zip right back to stock 2.2.1 so you can start all over, lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] photolarry:
Did not work

Phatless, I made a gold card but am having trouble locating either an older RUU that is not corrupted or PD15IMG.zip that is stock (the two I tried are corrupt on megadownload) then I can fastboot flash to the phone to overwrite back to stock. I am getting an error that tells me read central directory entry failed. I have ability to use fastboot since I got updated SDK. But not sure how to go forward from here. Thank you for helping me. Should I do this in fastboot mode or place on root of sdcard and try doing it from bootloader on the phone? You think that it will not give any error if I do this now that it has a gold card?

===================

Update: I tried with gold card inserted....to flash from bootloader....it looks at the file....then says:

"Main Version is older!" Update Fail! Press Power to Reboot. So now wondering if I can do this with fastboot since I appear to have a non-corrupted file. Other thoughts Joshua?

Cannot do via fastboot and am not understanding how its a good file yet it will not let me flash via fastboot and gives:

ndroid-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot update PD15IMG.zip

Whoops: didn't find expected signature

read_central_directory_entry failed

This is exactly what happened in the Desire Z/G2 forum. HTC and T-Mobile were sending out devices that had a gingerbread update by "accident". My touch screen went out on my G2 so i sent it in for repair and got my exact device back with a locked bootloader and with the latest 2.3.3 gb update.

There is no way to root it. No known method would work to root it. It has been months and no exploit has been discovered that would let you gain temp-root to downgrade or s-off/perma-root.

Its the same thing now with this leaked version of gingerbread. You will loose root AND S-OFF. If you went ahead and flashed it you are screwed for the time being and dont expect to get bailed out anytime soon. It can be months before anyone figures out a way to root this version.

I talked to a few people on the g2 irc channel (#g2-root) and we tried several methods to downgrade or root with no avail.

If you update to the leaked pd15img.zip a.k.a GB update, you are screwed. End of story. You have been warned by someone with a lot of experience with this issue.

I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Have you read this post yet, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
[myTouch 4G Android Development] photolarry:
Not sure I would agree

I do not agree. I am going to try the gold card method mentioned above to see if perhaps this tricks the phone into letting me go back to 2.2.1 and then going through the rooting process from scratch. If it works, I will post again so other idiots such as myself have an option to get this undone and removed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tKoHaXoR:
Go ahead and do that.

This was tried on the G2 too.

It did not work.

Good luck though.

FYI the G2 & Mytouch are similar in hardware and both have gotten updated bootloaders through these leaked updates that prevent old rooting methods. Their might be a slight chance that it works but dont put your hopes up.

Hey guys isn't there a way to hex edit the PD15IMG.zip to make the bootloader think that it's using a newer version, I know I've heard of this before in the Q&A, from people that get the older than new version message. If the old one can be hexed the bootloader will allow it to flash for people, hopefully.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] photolarry:
Sounds plausible...if it can be hex edited to change the version number it checks to something higher to trick it....seems that would work. I have the hex editor from making my gold card so its been a while since I looked at binary code but will see if I can locate in start of the file where this version number is and change it to something higher than what is installed. I will let ya know.

=============================

Did not work....I changed .89 to .90 and 1.17.531.1 to 2.30.531.1
[myTouch 4G Android Development] s10shane:
so there is no way to flash back to the stock 2.2.1? i just tried to and i have s-on and im not rooted and it told me that it was an older version and update failed. this is freakin lame. i got a lot of data issues with this gingerbread leak or whatever.. if any one can figure out how to flash back to the stock 2.2.1 please let me know. thanks

[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
Just curious as to why T-Mobile says that this is an update to Gingerbread 2.3.3 but everyone says it's to 2.3.4? I'm running the leak that KCS05DC rooted and deodexed from this thread, and it says 2.3.4 under my settings but all the news from TMO says it's 2.3.3. Any ideas?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] photolarry:
This exploit works on Glacier too?

So will this temp root a glacier as well and allow a downgrade and reroot as all of us want to do here in this discussion?

I am going to try this for fun and see if I am able to get it downgraded and back to 2.2.1 rom. If it works...I will post again.

One thing is certain that I learned from this whole mess..... NEVER flash anything from FOOTBALL leak! Root is lost!

===========================

This works to get back to 2.2.1 and start the root process over again! Wow! Thanks so much for finding this! Here is the best guide for root process from 2.2.1 point that does not need any gold card.

DUDE! Take that back, Football is a ****ing hero for posting these RUUs! Do you have any idea how easy they make it to restore to stock and recover from bad flashes?

I'm sure he works for HTC and is leaking these at great personal risk.

I used one of his RUUs last night to restore my glacier to stock and it worked like a charm.

Don't blame others for your own failure to do your research before modifying your phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] michael2041:
This is the OTA gingerbread update right? Completely plain gingerbread ota, nothing removed, added, not rooted, etc? Also will flashing this wipe my phone, or update it like it would if you got the popup that asked you to update on your phone?

I sound like a noob.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Read a few posts above where I answered this question already.

It overwrites and wipes everything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RangerLG:
As far as being OTA, no one knows for certain. It should be close though. And yes, it will rewrite the radio, recovery, bootloader, and ROM.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenue007:
I am installing CM7 (latest Phiremod version) on a refurbed nook bought off ebay the other day.

I initially could not get the CM7 to boot and realized it was because my CW Mod was an older version so I downloaded the new files and replaced the 4 files (uboot etc) with the newest one and when I boot into recovery, Clockwork Mod shows the latest version.

I've used the format tools to format boot/system/cache/data/Davlik and reboot in and out to format more than once just in case.

Install of Phiremod goes well and I can run it. Even on stock speed, it will randomly crash and lock up. I've done permissions repair, but it still does it. I've tried reinstalling the file after I initially installed it (per advice on the Phiremod thread) and it still does it. My older nook runs perfectly.

Is there something new in newer nooks? Do I have a bad one? is new Phiremod version just less stable on newer nooks? Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiDGR8:
Was the refurb sold by B&N or a "3rd party"?

Are you running off eMMC or an SD card?

I'm leaning towards the idea that whatever caused the original owner to return the NC for repair was either not present during the refurb inspection because it was an intermittent problem (you can't fix what you can't find); or the repair agent decided that it was a "non-critical" fault and elected not to repair it.

Unfortunately for you "non-critical" is good enough to meet service levels but not good enough to run CM7.

Or it's a bad SD card, or it's PEBKAC (PEBTSAC?), or ... ?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj-Gutz:
Can't help with your issue

But I can confirm my new refurbed nook ( from the b&n user on ebay , latest sale ) running CM7 on emmc perfectly fine
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenue007:
it was B&N off ebay.

i tried older phiremods too. it would just crash. my sister said even on stock it would crash. she is sending it back for an exchange. i've never had this many probs installing CM7!!!

i was running off eMMC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf3g:
Sounds like a faulty unit. If it was crashing on stock that's the likely reason.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiDGR8:
Sounds like they might have a two strike policy on faulty units. They seem to be very liberal on returns (little or no refusals). It's possible that in return, they only scrap the units with glaringly obvious faults. Either that or you you got one of a small number of "twofers". The (rare?) unit that has a second fault that waits for later to show up.

That's the hidden cost of trying to save money on refurbs. You have to take the higher risk of having to send it back again. It's generally a good tradeoff. Remember that you only hear the horror stories in forums lile this. The (many?) success stories never have to ask for help. You just lucked out this time and got a marginal unit that failed (again).

But now i does not boot after flashing.

Here is the. Logcat

[Wildfire General] h4oxer:
I assume you have JIT enabled on your AOSP-rom ("JIT started for system_server") ? And I also see you use Dark Tremors apps 2 sd. It's known that these 2 cause trouble, try JIT without DT or try DT without JIT ( replace dalvik libs and edit build.prop) , maybe this resolves the problem?

Else, try to put apps not in data/apps but in system/apps , this sometimes solves these sort of problems for me :)

Good luck!
[Wildfire General] jonas2295:
Okay thanks for ur answer ;)

What do I have to replace with what and what should I change in build props?

And moving apps to system app doesn't solve the problem, instead it causes another problem, it won't install the Apps then..

Hope u can help me to get the Rom ready for release ;)
[Wildfire General] h4oxer:
wich AOSP are you releasing a Froyo or Gingerbread one?

For build.prop try :

find the line:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

replace with:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast

Good luck
[Wildfire General] jonas2295:
Gingerbread :)

Okay thank-you ;)

Should I delete the jit folder too ?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jug6ernaut:
First thanks to kamma and his thread HERE. This fixed was 100% inspired by his attempt, i only had the benefit of having access to some files he didnt. This thread is based off his, but with the files from 2.3.3 which did not have the jumping issue.

I have NOT tested extensively, but in my limited experience(and that of a few others) this does fix the problem.

[color=#FF0000]USE THIS SCRIPT AT YOUR OWN RISK[/color]

This is just a proof-of-concept fix. I dont guarantee any improvement, because i have not much time to test it.
I simply replace battery libs and apps extracted from [color=#FF0000]ATT 2.2.3*[/color].

How to:
1. Download [color=#FF0000]CMW_Jug6_batfix.zip*[/color] (bellow in Attached Files)
2. Copy it to sdcard or sdcard-ext
3. Reboot into CWM recovery
5. Click "install zip from sdcard"
6. Choose zip from sdcard
7. Pick the [color=#FF0000]CMW_Jug6_batfix.zip*[/color]
8. Install
9. Reboot

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jug6ernaut:
Yes as you go between roms you would need to reapply, that is until(if its working 100%) its added to the roms themeselves.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] OSNPA:
Installed at 85% battery life, was thinking it was actually closer to 95% at the time I ran this as I hadn't done much since it was fully charged. Didn't wipe battery stats or anything, it started back up at 84%. Did a few things to see how quickly it would drop, when it came down to 81%, I rebooted and wiped battery stats and davlk cache. Took a while on reboot after those wipes, started up at 80%. Still think it should have been higher than the 85% it started at, so I'm charging up to 100% and running Battery Calibration app. Will edit this post when I get the results, but it's not bouncing around like it was before. Awesome work Jug6!

Edit: Charged it to full charge, wouldn't charge past 98%, so I ran the battery calibration app, restarted, and on restart is said 99% and full charged. It was recommended in the app to fully discharge battery and then fully recharge without interruption. Will try to drain it quickly -> Pandora! :cool:

Deodexing... From what I understand so far

I think I would need some of the 2.3.3 framework to do it though..

Basically,

Each .apk has a "classes.dex" file in it.. when a .apk or .jar for that matter has an .odex file associated with it. whish is the case with the Atrix and other phones too... what has happened is that the "Classes.dex" file has been taken out of the .apk/.jar file and placed in a .odex form. this way it is device spacific and cannot be moddified or replaced using generic .apk/.jar files .. i.e. customized ...

he reason it is "working" for you, is because your phone is the spacific device these files were made for... so it isn't crapping out. At least, i think this is the reason...

In order to run a deodex on these file though, I would need some of the reference files that they are dependant on in order to run the script to do so. hat is the "Boot class file paths" that you see below...

I am glad to see these are seeming to fix the problem though. I will see what I can do, but I am getting errors running the script:

D:\Atrix\Baksmali>java -jar baksmali-1.2.6.jar -x Ba
