[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
I know about the original thread but it's too long and about random stuff.

So i flashed via Odin to the KG4, it's fast and smooth but i would like to root it so i can (a) get my apps back with titanium and (b) have some fun. However, when doing the z-image and z-image root files with odin, the phone would show a boot screen and then come back, it would do it every minute or so. But this only happened while rooted. I was wondering if there is another way to root KG4?

Also can i use a regular backup app to restore my apps and data even though its in a titanium backup file?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kaizasoshi:
I take no credit for this...

Thanks to corradokng for this method and to dsexton for finding original root zimage!!

For Root Follow Below:

THIS IS FOR ODIN

1. Flash This zimage-root-tar

2. Let Boot Loop Twice, you should see a fish.

3. Boot Back into Download Mode

4. Flash this. zImage-KG4.tar.md5

5. You should now have Root

6. Hit Thanks

Both files can be foung in the OP of the Leaked KG4 thread
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
there is no other way to root Gingerbread as of right now, you will have to wait for corra's deodexed build that you can flash via cwm which will probably come out today or tomorrow, so you can wait or do the zimageroot.tar method

Hey guys im running dex latest rom butter one..just wondering is gingerbread a major update over froyo??..I see videos and dont see whats the big fuss about!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
this thread belongs in general... but use dsextons method ive done it and it works
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
the new 2.3.4 gingerbread release is fast and smooth with no tweaks, you will have root and access to stuff but no cwm at the moment and no ability to add tweaks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
Yeah i figured that out after i posted it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
Thanks, i'll be sure to try it after work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
Well CWM isn't working for me too well. Constantly it says no space of signature verification failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jondamn:
You will need to odin back to froyo first
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
So Odin back to Kd1 or Kc1 and then flash to KG4 and root?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ErvMeister:
Also can i restore my apps that i backed up with titanium backup with any other restore app on market?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] michelhuy:
According to this article: http://www.asuspad.fr/android-3-2-sur-transformer-ca-brule/

My translation of the tweet:

The 3.2 update for the EEE Pad Transformer will arrive in a few days ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] movelbit:
that is not official asus webpage. Not trustable.

Yes, maybe in few days, but not because asuspad.fr says so...

EDIT: Found the AsusFrance twitter here. That twitter account should be in fact trustable :)

And here is the other official twitter account that stated the same last week :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sanderfox:
Asuspad.fr is not the source. The source is a twitter post made by Asus France the article is referring to.

EDIT: you already found out ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] movelbit:
sorry for my first quick reply :)

Just if someone wants to check, here and here is the direct twits
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kaylord84:
Good
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deeren:
just a quick question:

i know there are tons of threads about unrooting... but has anybody after installing customs roms, successfully returned back to stock and still receive updates?

i tried to roll back to the old .9 rom, .13rom( just to check) and not a single uppdate appeared after that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
Yes, great news. 3.2 and dock RMA= perfect tablet
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
It will probably hit on a weekend to avoid their support getting inundated with initial update calls. A weekend gives people a chance to figure out the issues themselves and not bother support needlessly and if still a problem then they can phone on the Monday.

I believe that is the usual tactic. So maybe we will get it this weekend. You never know! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VaderChen:
Good News!!

ASUS had real good jobs in these few updates.

They paid musch focus on Table this time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] liorry:
What will 3.2 give us? it's mainly for small screen tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] StarF:
also more speed :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] transceiver:
Netflix hopefully
[Eee Pad Transformer General] codeles:
besides the improvements to allow more sizes of tablets (smaller ones) the Android Developer site lists the following:

Compatibility zoom for fixed-sized apps

Android 3.2 introduces a new compatibility zoom mode that gives users a new way to view fixed-sized apps on larger devices. The new mode provides a pixel-scaled alternative to the standard UI stretching for apps that are not designed to run on larger screen sizes, such as on tablets. The new mode is accessible to users from a menu icon in the system bar, for apps that need compatibility support.

Media sync from SD card

On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store.​

But that's just what comes with stock android 3.2. Asus no doubt will have added some fixes and improvements of their own (everyone hopes one such improvement will be Netflix compatibility).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kaylord84:
bug fixes i hope
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
All I want is Fix the lag on the default browser, and better battery life....Hope I am not asking for much......:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dmtsilva:
I fully agree with that
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mibo666:
I think 3.2 will should fix the lack of fps in rotate 90 & 180. Motorola Xoom [3.1] , Galaxy tab 10.1 [3.1] have got this same low fps problem like TF. This is honeycomb problem.... and 3.2 on Xoom fixed it... I hope that update will fix some problem and UI will be smoothh :) I wanna netfix too :) Better battery life? Fix of SoD? Fix somme issuses with copy/paste when u using custom screen keyboard. Add pinch to zoom on touchpad ? -> we can use 2 fingers to scroll in menu or internet browser ...and why we can't pinch to zoom? Asus please add it :P

With 3.2 Nova Xoom version will be working on TF :)

//sorry for my english :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diversificationied:
I'm hoping it activates the size down function that turns the tablet into a 7" one for portability.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I just want the battery stats to be recorded and reported correctly. Would love to know what takes up battery life on standby...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
Ever since the new update browser and Opera has been crashing a lot more. It's pretty annoying. Hopefully that gets fixed too but it may be a TF thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krispy1:
3.2 is suppose to add enhanced gui support so i guess it'll be more smooth
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asummerf:
I had that at first and then I cleared the cache from within the browser app. No crashes since for me..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] d3adbroke:
I don't no if this is a common problem or that can be fixed but when my phone IA charging the touchscreen is off but once I unplug it its fine
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
change ur charger..... it must be some chinese crap...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metacircle:
Try charging at your computer, if the problem is still there this has nothing to do with the charger you are using.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Handcent's started getting a little weird on my phone. The text popup will always show the first message I received instead of the most recent message. It gradually builds up throughout the day until I'm stuck seeing the first message with a 1/250 message count at the top every time I get a message. Any ideas or what I could have set up wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] fawkes21:
Do you have the Notfication->Popup Settings->Mark Read checked? Maybe it is not marking them as read?

This only happens for me when I get multiple texts in a short period and/or do not close the popup from a previous message. . . hope this helps. . .
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
That's exactly when it happens to me also. If I don't hit the back button or the "x" it does this, like if I just hit the power button or home.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
I've been using Android phones since the first Droid in November, 2009. My most recent phone (before my Thunderbolt) was a Droid Incredible. I loved the incredible but upgraded to the TB on the last day of unlimited data so I could lock it in for 2 more years.

However, there are some anomalies, aka problems, with the Thunderbolt that I didn't experience on the Incredible. I'm hoping you can help me decide if this is because of a faulty phone or I have to live with these.

1. GPS. I leave the GPS on all the time. I know, it's a battery hit, but I use it enough to just leave it on. However, on the Thunderbolt, after I've picked a destination in Google Maps, I often get a message at the bottom of the map stating: "Waiting for GPS". Yesterday I drove over 20 miles before it locked into GPS. This happens frequently. On the Incredible I never saw "Waiting for GPS" ever. Not once. Do I have to live with this? Is this the nature of the beast? Or do I have a faulty unit?

2. Data connection. Often when I try to do something data-wise such as the browser, etc. I get a message stating there's no data connection. I look at the notification bar and see that there are 3 or 4 bars in my signal strength area but no data information. There's no 3G, 1X or 4G indicator. Nothing. That area has just vanished from the notification bar. I've tried turning data on/off, I've tried going into and out of airplane mode, nothing turns data back on. I eventually have to hold the power button down and tap on "reset." That does the trick and I'll have data once it's reset. Again, is this normal or is there a setting somewhere where I can coax data into coming on. Or is this a faulty unit?

3. Screen dimming oddness. I have the car holder. I like it a lot. When I put it in the car holder I see the little lightning bolt over the battery indicator indicating it's charging. I have set the settings option to keep the screen on when it's plugged in so I can see the maps while driving. However, after a period of time the screen goes dim. It doesn't turn off, just dim. Touching the screen brings it to full brightness. However, that's dangerous while driving.

When this happens I notice that the lightning bolt doesn't appear over the battery any more. It's as if the charger stopped charging and I am running on battery. However, that can't be the case since the battery never drains. Even after 5 hours of driving the battery doesn't go down. It just doesn't have a lighting bolt and the screen will go dim. I can dismount and remount the phone in the car holder and the lightning bolt will reappear. As long as the lightning bolt is there the screen won't dim. But after a while the lightning bolt goes away and the screen will dim again. This is very annoying.

Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Here are details on my phone. Stock Android, not rooted. Android 2.2.1 Build: 1.13.605.7

Thanks in advance
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
The GPS is sadly a known issue but a fix can be found here. I use OMFGB and have flawless GPS even w/o the fix.

Your issue with data is kinda odd. Perhaps you can try flashing a newer radio. A list of Radio's and ROM's that are compatible with them is here

I am also unsure about your Car Dock issue since I dont use that feature. The above link for radio's and ROMs might fix that issue as well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
I dont recall having any weird issues like that when I had my 1st Thunderbolt, a side from call quality problems and bad battery.

I ended up taking it back and got an Incredible 2. never had any problems with the Inc 2 but did not that the battery was only a little bit better then the Thunderbolt's(during heavy usage) & since I did like the bigger size of the TB I ended up trading with someone on these forums and now I have a T B again. Same battery issues & same call quality issues.

I think once Verizon gives the $400 deposit back after the 1st year im just going to buy somwtjing new.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowisland:
I had I similar issue with the data connection disappearing all of a sudden. This started to happen after I flushed MR2 OTA radio. I have since tried MR2 leaked and R2 gingerbread radios and both did not have this problem. Good luck!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
Thanks for the quick responses. Currently, since this is a corporate phone, I don't intend to root or change roms. Any other ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonami:
The new gingeritis roms and he new gb radio are both from the new gb base that's supposed to be released for the TB soon. I would try them, you might be on an old radio and kernel that's just not working for your phone, try the new ones and see if that helps. If not, it might be a hardware problem, cuz I have none of those issues on the new radio and gingeritis 3d, or the old radio and stock rom, or any other rom for that matter.

Sent from my TBolt using my f**king thumbs...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
Woohoo! The GPS Status program corrected my GPS issue. Thanks a bunch for that tip.

Now, how about the data issue or the dimming issue. Any thoughts on those two items?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
I have had these problems on stock, rooted, and custom ROMs, esp the data signal disappearing and also the screen dimming while using google maps. Not sure what the problem is. Make sure you leave wifi on when using gps also, this will help it get locks faster.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
I actually have wifi hotspot turned on when I travel so I can use my Galaxy Tab on the Internet. So, leaving wifi on isn't a real option. However, the tips above seemed to have fixed the GPS lock.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] patrick_mcnam:
When I try sign it, it says "An error occurred please check log". What do I do?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] FMAranda:
It works! Tested with the S5830BVJKP2 Brazilian FW I only had issues with the apk manager, it was saying:

Please make your decision:9

Please Select A Project To Work On (Option #22)

So I used the apktool. If I could I would thank you 10 times :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
This is for selecting default apk to be used in project.

When it shows press any key..Then enter 22 .Now if you have placed the apk in modding folder it will give option like

1-framework-res.apk

So Enter 1 and then on next option enter 9. Decompilation will start.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
I hope you selected 11 which is compile option. Now is the apk manager folder on the root of your C Drive? Could you post the logs?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mode90x:
It didnt work for me either, i put the APKmanager folder in C:\

After point 14, when I'm trying to reboot, I have boot animation all the time and my GT-S5830 aren't run. Why? Have I done something wrong? Thanks for replies!

PS: I have 2.3.4
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
Try with apktool. I use the above methods to modify all apks and they work well. Please refer to threads related to apkmanager and apktool in xda. Proper knowledge is required to decompile and compile correctly.Also you may check with permissions.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] wierzbik:
I have done everything step by step like in tutorial method 2 and the same problem. (I'm trying to reboot, I have boot animation all the time and my GT-S5830 aren't run)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
If you have done all steps properly,are permissions of framework-res.apk set to -rw -r -r ?

Or if using adb have you done chmod 644 framework-res.apk?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] wierzbik:
I don't know :/ I just replaced the file. Can you tell me how to set permissions to -rw -r -r step by step?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
1.If you are using root explorer then after copying from the menu you can select permissions from the pop up after mounting as r/w long pressing the apk select

read/write ,read ,read (rw -r -r ) for owner ,group and others respectively.

It is difficult since after copying lots of force closes occur.

2.If by adb

$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system/framework
#chmod 644 framework-res.apk
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] wierzbik:
I can't select permissions using root explorer, because after copying root explorer is closing. So i want to do it using adb, but i still don't know how. I'm noob in that :) How to use adb? Have i got some special aplications? Please, don't be laugh :) I really don't know how.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
Check here..

www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

and developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] wierzbik:
I've been trying to use adb, but after "$ su" i've got "Permission denied" USB Debugging is enabled. Phone is rooted (superuser) and i have got busybox installed, because i was trying to use QtADB. Permission denied agin.

Why?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] skynet28:
When you run "su" for the first time a window pops up(superuser) on the phone screen asking you to allow it to run, you have to check it to allow. (You have to answer Yes on the phone to allow access to root and you could use adb after that normally).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] wierzbik:
I should look at the phone :) Thanks for help and wasted time on me. Everything works!

Hey guys I managed to upload the ROM :)

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ben83s:
Dario!! I too had the "cook an egg off the back" Liquid and used many of your fantastic roms off modaco!

I made the switch the SGS only last week so its now excellent news to see you here. Can't wait for the impending full release!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ben83s:
Just thought I'd give my 2c on beta2

Good:

Boot time is great!

OS is nice and snappy

respectable benchmarks

big fan of nitrality - ty for inducing it

games run smoothly

Bad

haven't found a ext4 monitor/switcher

samsung keyboard - gb's is better?

2 soft reboots in 45mins

all in all - very promising

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dariolob:
Thank you very much for your report,it seems here very few people rely on new devs :P

About the negative things:

-I think this is because semaphore kernel doesn't support ext4 but I'm not sure because I'm still studying how file systems work on SGS :)

-In next version I'll include also GB keyboard then!

-Yeah I noticed this problem,but only on 1.0,I don't know why though :( I'll try to investigate a bit more :)

Thank you again,I hope to realize a stable and good rom for everyday usage! :)

Dario
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Semaphore kernel supports ext4. Just use chainfire's ext4 application ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dariolob:
Thank you very much :) I'm still a bit noob with SGS :P

P.s. Do you have any idea of what can cause these random reboots in the ROM? :S Maybe the editing at frameworks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
You are welcome.

I really don't know. I'm not expert on ROMs. :) What about tw4 ? Just a thought
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dariolob:
Hmm it could be a good start point :) I also found that vm heap size was modified in build.prop,and was 32MB instead of 48MB,maybe there's no memory enough for the vm to run! That could be the problem,I'm going to test right now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dariolob:
1.2 is out! And the ROM is out of the beta stage! :D

Yeah I found the reason of random reboots and added minor changes to the ROM so I'm proud to announce the JVQ mod 1.2 :)

Give it a try,download it from first post and write here your impressions!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ben83s:
my word I pop out for just a few hours and your done with 1.0 + 1.1 and now on 1.2!! :cool:

I'm downloading it now and will have a play tonight/tomorrow, and give you some feedback.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Hey all,

So, I have a NANDROID backup of my stock build on CWM. I have an apk file in it that you can't get in the market anymore (Bubble Burst, different from the one in the market now). Is it possible to pull it from data.img? I really wouldn't want to go through the trouble of restoring my backup just to pull out that one file.

Also, I'm not sure if this is borderline breaking-the-rules, but if it is, please feel free to close this thread. Bubble Burst is a free app, so I don't think there would be an issue...

Thanks in advance for anyone's input!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
honestly i dont think you can but you could try opening your backup then try to open up the backup.md5 with 7zip or something like that
