[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Started with 0008, then used revolution to get s-off. After that, I used the pg58IMG file. I was rooted at that point. Once I set setcpu back up, the wifi stopped working. The other troubles started right after the root.

I just reverted to stock, and am setting things back up. Looks like I am still s-off though. Will I be able to use the temp root method still?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
That's because that unsecured boot image you used, is incompatible with the modules you have. If you flash a custom ROM, which is uber-easy, the wifi problem, plus the root problems will be gone. Trust me ;)
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Alright, I am back to the way things were. I still have s-off, but I am back to the stock ROM and have my phone temp rooted again.

When you guys talk about flashing ROMs, could I just do that as is? Do I need to do anything else, now that I have s-off? Could I just load the ROM on my SD card, then do the same thing I did to get back to stock?

[XPERIA X10 General] NiJunge:
Ok I will try to make this a general question as I have been Searching the net for hours and it realy doesent seem clear for me.

I have a debranded x10 (2.1) and have always used the same carrier, thinking that the phone is not sim locked to that carrier. When I look in the service menu it goes:

[*] network 0

[] Network subset 5

[] Service provider 5

[] Corporate 5

[] Sim 0

And I was told that Sim 0 = unlocked

Now I did the following

- I first whent to seus t make a reinstall and that did what it was suppose to (wiped all data and made a new install).

- then new sim card in the phone with new provider and it asked for SIM network code

- used the emei to get a unlock code

- punched the code in with no luck (rechecked the emei and the unlock code and reentered the code ) no luck

SO what is making the problems for me and How do I deal with this

Did I punch in wrong code to many times (and thus needing to pay for a USB unlock)

Did the debrand process do something that made it impossible to unlock the phone ?

Please help as I do not think Im the only one I will gladly organize the answers to make it general so that answers is one place

[Droid X General] floridatank:
I am thinking about getting a Droid X this afternoon. With the OTA update is it rootable and if so with what? Thank!
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Not the OTA. You will need to sbf back to froyo and then upgrade to the pre rooted GB
[Droid X General] floridatank:
I went ahead and got it. It has 2.3.3 on it, Will Gingerbreak work on that? Thanks!
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Nope! Like I said its unrootable
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Unrootable...

But that doesn't mean you can't root.

SBF to froyo.

Flash the 2-part gingerbread .zips.

Flash a custom rom (Liberty?)

Or stay on the froyo kernel...

and try MIUI or Cyanogen.
[Droid X General] Oldtymehockey:
Be careful and read as much as you possibly can before starting. Myself and at least one other on here with the latest iteration of the X have ended up with boot looping or totally non-responsive devices.

I have started a thread with my findings. I am by no means an expert but I do have much experience with rooting devices going all the way back to the PPC6700.

Good luck.
[Droid X General] 80hd:
getting stuck in a bootloop is part of the exploration process IMHO.

At least once per new ROM I'll flash something 'just to see what happens' and end up SBF'ing back. Just make backups between steps if you aren't sure about what will happen next.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
it would be nice if one of the devs or people who work on rooting or someone in the know would at least comment if we are going to get a real root with the OTA

i mean im running froyo with CM7 but i sure would like the new firmwares for all the radios flashed and then be running CM7

so if someone could give us some kind of update at least saying no one is even remotely working on trying to gain root on 4.5.596 Official OTA or that yea we are working on it but it is a ***** and taken longer then we expected

that lil bit of info goes a long ways

thanks
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
I am not aware of any dev working on this ATM.
[Droid X General] ForthegoOD:
I don't think rooting 596 ota is critical 2nd unit has opened up alot of new doors and the attention has shifted. However I have flashed all of drew gardens latest and ran cm4dx until nightly 47. Now I'm daily MIUI and loving it, despite locked bootloader the cdma_shadow still has alot of options.
[Droid X General] m16-maniac:
to my understanding .596 has better battery life and signals are better for wifi and cellular (at least more stable and less drops)

i do not know if this is true but i have read/heard alot of ppl saying the battery life is better on .596

after all there is a .596 for some reason and its not a lil bump from 2.2.340 its pretty big

anyhow someone really needs to figure this out as the baseband has changed....i mean there is the pre-rooted rom .596 that works great so we know it can be done.

whats the big deal...let us have it
[Droid X General] zo_e:
the big deal is that there isn't a readily found exploit for the ota, the pre-rooted was done with a diff. method (brute force? recompiled?) but the versions are the same regardless

no ones holding back a secret root method, there just isn't a dev interested in spending huge amounts of time to recreate what already exists

i think it would be interesting to create a batch script that sbf's a phone and installs the pre-rooted .596 but all hidden behind a random animation so the user doesn't see what's happening. if i call it a 'one click' root method lots of people who don't seem to want to take the readily available pre-rooted gb for whatever reason would likely be happy. yeah i understand that if it includes a sbf then data may get lost, but if i said in the instructions of my 'app' that it would happen and they should have backups, people would still likely use it

sorry, but i just don't understand why so many people who want root are seemingly against using the pre-rooted option, as most of them don't have the knowledge to find an exploit or a root method from scratch themselves, so they are still using the work of someone else...
[Droid X General] Oldtymehockey:
<Disclaimer>I'm going out on a limb here with limited knowledge of the X. <End disclaimer>

From what I read and I don't remember where, the rooting of an X involves a 2nd init method by which it takes control of the initial init. I believe I read the original init isn't able to be exploited and this is the basis of some of the more complicated methods of rooting the X.

If someone knows more about this please correct me or chime in.

I had an Incredible prior. The rooting was more comprehensive and simple. I believe that is because the bootstrap and recovery were not as difficult to get into. That being said, personally, I may be going back to another HTC device if the folks light years smarter than me aren't interested in developing a root method like the other devices out there.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xcel777:
Greetings all! Not sure if it was resolved somewhere or not before..

But basically after I've gone to 2.3.3 with recovery images like WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread | Hotfix 1 | 2350 Downloads already! | 30/7/2011 and [RECOVERY image] [Prerooted + Recovery] X10 GB 3.0.1.G.0.752

With both I come up with a result of my SD card not mounting and it says in storage that Total space "Unavailable" and Available Space "Unavailable"

I tried re-seating my memory card, rebooting many times and so on.

What did I do wrong to cause this? And how can I solve it?

How I did WB's recovery tut:

1) I was on 2.1 version and .54 baseband,

2) rooted and installed xrecovery through flashtool

3) rebotted into xrecovery and did the following as it says (factory reset, wipe cache etc.)

4) installed the custom .zip of WB that he has provided

5) after done with install w/o leaving xrecovery I took out battery, waited for few secs and re-seated it

6) with flashtool got ready to do the 2.3.3 kernel and bb flash

7) got in flash mode and flashed it

8) then restarted and my sd did not mount, but other stuff works fine (baseband (2.1.71), Android version (2.3.3) etc. are recognized fine)

What am I doing wrong? =/ Please help, because it is getting frustrating =/

cheers!

Well, at least i'm not the only one with this problem.

When booted normally, and using adb, it says sdcard is write protected. In oter threads people mention a notification that sd card should be formatted. I dont get that notification. Perhaps I should format wihout initializing fat filesystem?

I solved my issue, what I did was go back to 2.1, flash baseband to .67 then root and install xrecovery, also formatted my SD, then gone to xrecovery did what WB's tut says that is do factory reset etc. flashed the rom, took out the battery, re-seated it, then flashed bb .71 and done, it worked.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Hi all

Well, it's probably stupid to want to change the boot logo but ... it's awfull and I want to understand. I know it's risky too ...

The facts:

- First, I identified how to save the file from photoshop to have the same binary file : Export for device with options transparency & no metadata & no color profile. Saving the original logo.png this way give the same one (binaries are exactly the same). Saving the file the standard way give different binary file.

- it's a 32bits png ( I think 24 bits colors+8bits transparency), in the header appears "Photoshop Image ready" so it was made with photoshop ...

- Then I tried to flash a simple logo.png (modded from original) with a size lower than 4kb like the orginal. Just puting the logo.png in a tar file and flashing as one package with Odin.

- At boot, the original black&white logo appeared ... hhhmmm, strange ! There was no warning message in Odin.

- Then I tried to flash a colored logo of 6Kb, a 100% transparent one lower than 1Kb, and ... same thing ... the original samsung logo appeared !

- I just made an image of /dev/block/bml3 (see attached) with dd command. The partition size for logo.png is 512Kb, so in theorry we can make a nice boot logo ...

- If you edit the attached file, you will see 2 strange things : GT-I8315HG01L phone model appears in the header (this information is not in logo.png), and the logo.png file appears twice in the partition !

?????????

Anybody wants to make the quest ? :D

it would be good to see if other people have the same partition structure, then just type:

dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/cache/bml3.bin bs=1

then pull it to your computer and have a look.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Ok now. You actually flashed bootloaders so many times just to check?? :eek::eek:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
he actually flashed logo.png and not the bootloaders...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
The logo.png only comes into play when flashed with bootloaders I suppose. Correct me if am wrong.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
exactly !

When XXJPS appears it was an oportunity to test that so I flashed the whole package (with bootloaders and with my modded logo.png).

After that I only flashed logo.png.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
you tried pushing logo.png in the bml partition?

P.S. which software did you use to check the .bin partion..?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
I thought that too but this was my first try and ... nothing ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
No ... I'm a little bit afraid to make that ... :D

and there is a header in the bml3 partition (which comes from where ???) so it's not easy to push the png at the right place ....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Just open the .bin file in notepad++
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Ok...i'll take a look at it tomorrow morning...

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Rapier07:
@Sambastrakan

The CM7 port for galaxy 5 has a modified bootlogo

It displays "android" on the screen, no samsung logo

Look into it Maybe you will know what to change..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
I beleive the png is displayed by the s3c framebuffer driver, builtin the kernel.

The image has to be converted in a special format : look this repo to get the tool : https://github.com/morfic/Samsung-logo

G5 devs have activated the framebuffer console, I guess. That's why you can read "android" on the screen at boot up.

It's possible to activate the framebuffer console in the g3 kernel.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Rapier07:
Would that possess any risk to the bootloader?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Thanks for that ! will have a look ...

The image is converted yes, the binary code in bml3 is totaly different from the png. Samsung makes things complicated when it could be easyer ...

It's possible to flash a modded logo on the GT-I5700, something have changed on i5800.

But this doesn't explain why a modded logo is ignored during flash ! :confused: :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
No, but you have to recompile kernel.

If you look in the kernel source, video/s3cfb.c :

#if defined(CONFIG_FB_S3C_LMS300)||defined(CONFIG_FB_S3C_S6D04D1)

#include "android_logo_rgb16.h"

#endif

The image is in the rgb16 format ... The morfic's tool should be modified to convert the image in rgb16.

It's also possible that the booloader show the samsung's logo ... Why ? I tried one time to activate framebuffer console and I could see the samsung's logo while kernel was loading.

I don't know if bml3 is really used ... maybe you waste your time.

It seems that the image is in the kernel itself ... so you have to compile your own kernel with the new image converted by morfic's tool.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
I think it's more like that. The logo appears quickly, perhaps before the end of kernel boot.

I believe you're right !!! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
5801 users knows that flashing bootloader changes the bootlogo..

But if the kernel is able to show a bootlogo then you could put your own bootlogo right after samsung's one.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
or add something like a progress bar to know if its a soft brick or not(i think you did that in some of your fugumod 2.3 alphas,what happened to it?)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
It is deactivated ... It's samsung's code. any developer could enable it in the kernel and recompile.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
oh yes, i realy loved that progress bar
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
The code to enable is in drivers/video/samsung/s3cfb_s6d04d1.c.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
you made my work easy :p :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
just for information

Founded the entire logo.png binary code in slb.bin ...

now, why samsung put a logo.png in the rom package ? just to make us confused ? :D

the 2 png in bml3 are 240x400 100% transparent.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
as already mentioned, its a preview...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
From what i found out, first for a few seconds, the logo is shown directly from the bootloader...and then the same logo is shown by the kernel.it refers to the logo in bootloader only..the second part can be deactivated from the kernel...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Thanks for looking that ! :)

Do you know if bml3 partition have any function ? or it's one more strange thing from samsung ? :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I am not sure, but like bml5 is for kernel, bml3 may be for something related to the bootloader... What we know is only first.few seconds is shown by bootloader....otherwise it is all kernel...i think we should forget abt the first few seconds and concentrate on the part after that and see if we can do anything... :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
The 2 png files in bml3 are 100% transparent, perhaps it's loaded by the kernel after bootloader and so the bootloader image continue appearing ?

Running this king of search in the kernel source code doesn't show anything ? :

find . -type f -name "*.c" -exec grep -il 'png' {}

find . -type f -name "*.c" -exec grep -il 'logo' {}

find . -type f -name "*.c" -exec grep -il 'bml3' {}

But this doesn't explain why when flashing a logo.png it is simply ignored. The .ops file from Odin indicates logo in third partition ...

Soooooo strange .... :)
