[Captivate General] Xx-Ness-xX:
I wonder when the official release for 2.3 Captivate finally comes out if there is going to be any ice cream sandwich ROM out there for Captivate. Seems like Captivate is always a bit behind from the latest Android OS, well probably applies to other phones as well, but as an Captivate user that's how I feel.

By the way, I saw the leaked ice cream sandwich pictures, looking good.

[Captivate General] jack man:
That article is from back at the beginning of April. ATT website has since made an official announcment in Late July that it is coming. Granted, I am sure it will take a while, but they have probably gotten past this issues in that article.

Here again is the latest ATT announcement from July 25:

one big nasty about ice cream sandwich i see is the green tint theme .. not good for OLED power saving .. hope there is a black option ..

Do you have "Default Location" install under the Settings/Apps menu?
[Captivate General] bames:
anyone get the official update yet?

if so is there a way to root it yet?
[Captivate General] NiTRoN69:

1. odin1click flash

2. odin kernel flash zImage-root.tar

3. Let the fish come up on screen then it will reboot.. go in download mode again

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmnipotentPilot:
I rooted my phone, i can get superuser permissions. I tried to install ClockworkMod and it failed miserably. I flashed it using ROM manager, and when my phone went into recovery, I hit "reinstall packages" twice, but I got an error both times. The error reads

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation abored"

According to ROM Manager, I have ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 (However, it never successfully flashed)

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You need the modified 3E recovery.

I actually would suggest ODIN to JFD and root using my guide... its in my signature.

If you plan to flash a ROM, do option B in the guide... you will not even need to mess with Rom Manager (which by the way, has not been working for many Vibrant users recently).... your issue is the 3E recovery though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmnipotentPilot:
ok, thanks very much. I'll use odin. Do you think clockworkmod will ever work on vibrants?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
it always has, but something changed recently.. many people have also reported Rom Manager not successfully flashing CWR recently. My guide will make it so you are up and running. Basically it's just a update.zip from CWR that works.. i did nothing to it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin_X:
+1, This is true. there are many of reports that CWM flashing through Rom manager isn't working correctly. This guy has some awesome guides so check them out!
[LG Optimus Black] maydayfan2:
My phone was rooted by gingerbreak v1.2 and I used titanium back up to delete some apps. I have deleted some important system apps so I restart my p970.

It just gives me a Lg logo and not works. I followed the instructions and used the

B2CAppSetup to reover my phone. I use my 32bit computer and 64bit laptop to recover......but it's doesn't work!!:confused::confused:

I think I should enter the recovery mode and download an offical rom ? right?

Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

The main problem is that I don't know what's the first step....I don't know how to enter the recovery mode!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Thx a lot ...my friends
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
Use 32bit system. Will be much easier.

0 - download LG mobile support Tool. Install drivers before you connect phone.

1 - download KDZ Updater:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=420545&d=1287222698

2 - unzip KDZ into KDZ folder on desktop. Install MSXML.MSI.

3 - download ROM to folder KDZ on desktop:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/ANEUTL/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz

4 - remove battery from phone

5 - push VolUp button and connect usb cable. You will see "S/W update" on the screen. Then you can free VolUp button. Wait until all the drivers install. Disable LG Modem in windows hardware manager (Start -> Search -> devmgmt.msc -> hit enter -> expand Modems -> rightclick on LG Modem -> disable)

4 - launch KDZ Updater as admin (rightclick -> Run as administrator)

5 - click folder icon on the right part of window -> point to downloaded .kdz firmware file -> Ok

6 - on the bottom of window you will see Read phone information. Click it.

7 - click start update. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE.

8 - wait and pray

9 - when flashing is finished phone will restart

Sorry for my english :)

Hi guys had a look and cant remember where the correct thread is, but i had a problem today i installed a wrong theme chooser theme and screen went black and couldnt see what i was doing, i reverted back to stock rom but i cant remember if i need to do a wipe data before i install cm7 zip from sd card, or install the zip then do a wipe? i only flashed it once and was guided through the process on the day the alpharevX beta was released. This is my first big problem, any help is greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance

EDIT : i flashed cm7 again, now my problem is installing the g.apps package

[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Is it bad to keep the A500 plugged in all the time? Does this hurt the battery?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Just as much as any other battery, its best to let it drain and recharge.

I mean when the battery is low you can just connect it again to cable so why keep it connected constantly.

It wont hurt your battery but it will make it weak eventually after a long time.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
There actually was a lengthy discussion about this that I read a while ago, I think it was on Ars Technica. Anyways, the point was that most modern batteries actually suffer the most when they're full or when they're drained almost empty; it's best to charge the battery often by small amounts rather than charge it seldom and from zero to full. In other words, they suggested that when the battery reaches 40% you should recharge it to around 90% and avoid draining the battery completely.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:

[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
My experience with Li-Ion batteries(which is not quite the same as the lithium polymer batteries in out tablets but probably close enough) is that they do better and last longer if you don't leave them plugged in. I have a number of Li-ion cordless impacts and ratchets and have gone through more than a few battery packs by leaving them on the charger over night. As far as discharging them completely goes, I assume its probably not a good idea. On a side note, Ni-Cad batteries actually seem to do better for me, they are just a lot heavier.
[Acer Iconia A500] cd85233:
This may be the chicken or the egg question for electronics. Never really got a consensus on an answer. My laptop has gone through 3 batteries each being used differently (on the third now). I have read to charge when possible when less than 30% and to top off always since the batteries have a recycle life. Also to monthly cycle the battery to give the battery a proper exercise. Then if you are not going to use it discharge to about 70% and store in a cool place. Some even say the freezer.

Don't know how much the storing applies to the tablets but id sure like a scientific answer aside from batteries university or what ever that site is.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Well I for one would like a picture if you're going to store your tablet in a freezer. :)

- Run RSD Lite 1.9 from PC and install fixed-sbf.

- Choose Stock Recovery from boot menu and Wipe data again.

Reboot.

[Defy General] tlongren:
I can't seem to get my Defy rooted with SuperOneClick 1.9.5.

I'm doing it on Linux. SuperOneClick.exe freezes up when doing "chmod psneuter".

Will SuperOneClick still work even though I did an OTA update to 2.2? Or am I pretty much out of luck until a new exploit is discovered?
[Defy General] scottie1973:
i use ver 1.8 and it works fine with official 2.2..;)
[Defy General] tlongren:
That makes me think my setup on Debian isn't quite right. I don't have the lib32 stuff installed, can't seem to find it anywhere for Debian.

I'll setup a Windows install in VirtualBox later tonight and try it from there to see if I get better results. If that fails, I'll give it a try on my work notebook that runs Windows XP.

Do you know of any reason why 1.8 would work but 1.9.5 would not work scottie1973?

And vgowtham97, sorry for sorta hijacking your thread here, but we're both after the same goal I think. If I can get this stuff working I'll gladly help you and let you know what I did to get it all working.
[Defy General] romuleta:
In Windows XP, for example, we need to install .NET Framework 2.0 to run SuperOneClick .

In Linux there is a compatible platform, but I don't remember the name of it.
[Defy General] tlongren:
.NET's Linux counterpart is Mono.

I still think lib32 is required, in addition to Mono. At least that's what a how-to I read said, and I can't find it anymore unfortunately. I'll dig a bit deeper tomorrow to see if I can find it.

Also, no success using superoneclick on Win XP running in VirtualBox on Debian. It seems to stall with adb and looks like it's "waiting for device". If I close the adb terminal that is open, superoneclick proceeds but eventually tells me "device not found".

I'll give it a go on my work Win XP notebook tomorrow.

Should I be trying the psneuter exploit?

Why does everybody say you have to start with any Froyo? What if you want to keep the option to downgrade to the original 2.1?

I read here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537

If you come from Android 2.1 and never flashed Android 2.2 you can use the fixed sbf-files method. With this method you will have a option to downgrade to you personal stock Android 2.1 via direct sbf flash.

Then you must not upgrade to Froyo??

not a clue really m8,i just know its the one ive used a number of times and it works..;)
[Defy General] romuleta:
Basically all 2.3.4 roms require Froyo to install. Choose a Froyo SBF and install it.
[Defy General] gommers1978:
Im running 2.3.4 from a nandroid and a fixed SBF (from the eclair ROM that was originally shipped on the phone) If you want to install a full SBF then maybe you would need a

[Defy General] Football Fan:
Can someone kindly also give the steps to downgrade back to froyo? :)
[Defy General] zannyuk:
Short answer if you made a android backup restore that via custom recovery then flash appropriate fixed froyo sbf file. Longer answers to that is in most gingerbread rom threads.
[Defy General] tlongren:
I do have USB Debugging enabled. I also unmounted my sdcard hoping that would help, but no luck.

I tried SuperOneClick 1.9.5 on my work notebook (running Win XP) this morning and no luck there either.

SuperOneClick 2 is in public beta now, I will give that a try when I get a minute. I'd post a link to the announcement at shortfuse.org, but I can't post links yet.

Just so I'm clear, I don't need to install a ROM after rooting, correct? I can just root and continue to use my phone as-is? I mostly want root so I can run a few apps that require root. Not really interested in upgrading to gingerbread or anything like that. Although MIUI looks interesting and very beautiful.

Thanks for your help everyone who has replied thus far!
[Defy General] zannyuk:
yes you can just root and play around with all that entails. Take it at your own pace no need to rush, become comfortable with it one stage at a time :) as for rooting as I said before if superoneclick dont work try the gingerbreak apk listed above its just root it makes no other changes.

I was on froyo 2.2.2 official only way I could root was gingerbreak
[Defy General] tlongren:
OK, I decided to give it a go with the gingerbreak exploit instead of psneuter and it worked (with superoneclick 1.9.5)!

I am still on official 2.2 from Motorola and T-Mobile US but now have root access to my device!

Thanks everyone!
[Defy General] zannyuk:
I didn't know that was an option in superoneclick, good man glad it worked.
[Defy General] tlongren:
I'm glad too. :)

Yah, I think gingerbreak has been in superoneclick since at least 1.7. I couldn't get it to work on anything older than 1.9.5 though.

Looks like SuperOneClick 2 beta 1 is packaged now on shortfuse.org. Its default exploit is "auto". The only other two options are psneuter and gingerbreak. Wonder if "auto" starts with psneuter and moves onto trying gingerbreak if psneuter fails.

UPDATE:

I found the post that said lib32 libraries need to be installed for SuperOneClick to work under linux:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8699742&postcount=537

It's a how-to written by the author of SuperOneClick. That post says linux users need to install lib32ncurses5 and lib32stdc++ along with Mono. Problem is, I can't find the lib32 stuff for Debian anywhere. It exists for Ubuntu. I can't even find the source for those libraries so I can compile myself.

I am thinking about running the MIUI room that just recently came out on ROM manager, but I don't want to flash it if I cannot get back to stock and not receive the GB update when it comes.

[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
I think the naming conventions of Droid's has caused a lot of confusion. Many things have been released for the Droid X and the Droid 2 at the same time, leading people to post about updates to the Droid X/2, which in fact is not the Droid X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
I know MIUI is available, it is on ROM manager on my X2. And I found out about the imminent GB update on the X2 general forum.

So unless there are a lot more people than me "confused" by the names of Motorolas Phones, than I think it is probably true that GB will be here as a 2.3.4 build soon enough. I think that is why not much development has been done on this phone, why develop on Froyo when GB comes out so soon?
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
Thanks for this by the way!
[Motorola Droid X2] SciReal:
I haven't heard of any X2 owner using ROM Manager. A far as I can tell, to date, there are only derivatives of that chinese ROM floating around. I would research more before you flash whatever you see in ROM Manager. Unless you are skilled enough to un-brick your phone.

But hey... Let me know how that works out for you. ;)

Rom manager its probably seeing your phone as the atrix. You don't want to download a rom for the atrix, it will not work and you will be forced to sbf back to stock. There is currently only one rom fire the x2 and at least 3 others in the works.
[Motorola Droid X2] tbodary:
