[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Hi All,

few things to clarify.

see i am not against development.

the point is when we have developer style softwares like say flashtool its just too good for people like us.

now look from a prospective of a person who is visiting this forum just to get a new rom coz he is told they are good.

he is handling his faith to us.

in this case lets say we say in flashtool for example

after rebooting, check usb debugging and unknown source.

however we never say to disable it after you are done with flashtool or tell that this could be a problem.

also most of the rom's have ro.secure set to 0. Good for dev's i loved it.

but no use for a normal user besides the prospects that due to ignorance a person could actually move in and install a backdoor or malware in.

All i am saying is we should have something like two profiles

1) if you are supporting dev launch this

2) if you are normal user use this.

hope you all get my point.

besides that issues like custom recoveries. right now as i said the efforts are towards improving them and people might look at security prospective after that.

I know some of you might say if a person is visiting a after market forum he should be smart enough to read a bit.

that's idealism, not reality.

NOTE :

I am excited about 4.0 ICS coz with that comes features like disk encryption etc.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
Hi bro;)

i did get your point! maybe i didn´t explain my point very clearly :D sorry if i didn`t;)

i perfectly support your idea...as you say ... "that's idealism, not reality." :D

like i said before, may devs should include those issues on there threads, i agree, but more than that...do no know:confused: it´s like ...hey! i got a custom rom but...i can´t do nothing...:eek::D

cheers R
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
actually that's my point

keeping

say ro.secure=1

disabling usbdebugging, unknown sources or portecting custom recoveries

I still see a normal user can use all the benifits of rooting inside the device.

i am right now focusing on what third party can do when phone is giving out data outside.

well we both agree that its a point that needs some consideration so i think i have succedded in making my point heard. :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
ok, ok, you won :D:D

but regarding that ro.secure

i understand your explanation on white paper and try to include on my current build.prop file but...can´t see any diference:confused: why? my phone "behaves" exactly the same way as before
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
change in ro.secure need to go to ramdisk.

also after that setting try pulling /data/data or /system in adb.

nothing except adb's default behaviour will change.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Stomp_:
Im curious. I work for Verizon and when we sell phones we normally recommend customers to unplug there phone once it is fully charged. Im curious to know if anyone has a reference that states this whether or not this is fact or fiction. I've heard and would think that the manufacturers would prevent this from happening, but I am not sure if that is the case. Does anyone have more information regarding this charging process?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brizey:
I would rather burn my phone up than deal with unplugging it after it is charged. And no, you don't have to.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavyKwonMA:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danmn1313:
This is why when you unplug it you lose 5% almost instantly. It charges to 100% then lets it die down to 95% and repeats.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Stomp_:
Thanks for the replies. The information given was helpful. Im still curious if anyone can provide a legitimate reference to this information though. A link of some sort would be awesome.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Over in the dInc forum someone put together a big set of charts relating to how that phone charges. It's battery technology is identical to the Tbolt so I assume it would apply. In short, no, you cannot overcharge the phone. What's damaging to the phone is being left in a fully, or nearly fully charged state for extended portions of the battery's life. The ideal long-term storage charge for a Lithium polymer battery is basically the charge that it comes with from the factory.

From all that I've read....

Lithium Ion/polymer batteries have top and bottom thresholds for min and max charge. Below a point, the materials become damaged, and above a point, they become damaged as well. This is unlike a car battery where you can basically suck nearly every volt out of it then recharge it like new. A lithium battery yields only about 1/2 to 1/3 of it's total charge before it's technically "dead". And the voltage drop relative to charge state isn't linear either. Over the useful life of the battery, the voltage drop is relatively slight. Once it begins to drop off more sharply, it's displaying characteristics of being "dead". A lithium battery is assumed to be fully charged when one of 2 things happens; the temperature begins to rise under an unchanged charge input, or the voltage/resistance inside the battery begins to rise. The latter is the method HTC devices use because it largely eliminates the environmental variable of temperature which can vary wildly between a purse, a hot car, an ice arena, or an air conditioned home. Additionally, circuitry is installed on the battery itself to prevent an overcharge state and over-temperature state because these two conditions can easily cause the battery to explode. And lithium will react violently to any form of moisture.... like your skin. The internal circuitry also includes a fuse which will destroy the battery by breaking the contact the internal cells have with external circuitry in the even of moisture saturation due to the risk of thermal runaway my means of short circuit.

As users of HTC devices, or any Li-Io devices may notice, unplugging immediately after charging is complete will prevent a sudden drop off in available battery percentage. This is because the charge has stopped and will not begin again until a min threshold has been reached, usually around 95%. This isn't a flaw with the battery, phone or charger. Tiamat kernels come in forms that will prevent this, but will damage the life of the battery in doing so.

ziggy471.com has some good info on these batteries, as does the thread in the dInc forum. Not sure exactly what forum or thread over there, but a quick search should yield it.

And that's pretty much all I can tell you about lithium-polymer batteries!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Stomp_:
I guess this would be OK if I had money to throw away. Buying batteries can get very expensive. One of my main reasons forvthinking overcharging is very possible was because I have noticed that when my phone is plugged in and I am using it, it tends to get very hot. From my understanding, while the phone is charging the current causes the batteries cells to heat up, which creates the charge. Once the battery is fully charged I assumed the cells were still being heated up which causes the higher temperature. I also assumed thatvthis could burn the cells up in the battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Stomp_:
Thanks, that was very informational.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The device will switch off before damage to the battery is done. I've done it repeated with a couple phones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcpo117:
Li polymer batteries generate heat as energy is puller from them at a high rate. So if you watch a movie on your phone or have some other program running for extended periods it will get hot. Also if you expose it to oxygen the polymer get high unstable and extremely hot. That's why they tell you not to puncture them. Remember kids in apocalypse time Li ion batteries make great fire starters.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paul1989:
HI everyone. i have started this thread as i didnt know what to do when i first had to send my wildfire back for repairs. first download the attatched zip. unzip to desktop and make sure u have got the drivers for your bootloader interface already installed. to do this you will need just two things. the zip you have just downloaded and the HBOOT which i included inside the ziped file. once extracted run the java file named S-ON.jar and plug your phone in and turn on fastboot. once connected make sure you click on check connection. once you have done that you should see your serial number appear. okay your ready to go. look for the first tab and click on it. then click on HBOOT/SPL. locate the HBOOT file you inzipped with the S-ON tool and then click it. once done just click on flash HBOOT/SPL. once done you will see it says FLASH HBOOT/SPL/SUCCESS. thanks for takuing time to look at my GUIDE and i hope it helps you. just remember one thing only flash the new HBOOT after you have installed the RUU which is android 2.1 update 1 so you can root again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaefert:
thanks for posting this, gonna try it now since I have to send my wildfire in for repair..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paul1989:
no problem if you have any trouble let me know and ill help you gain s-on :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaefert:
Hmm well it didn't work, so just sent it in as it was. I replaced the custom recovery and the custom rom with stock from an RUU, I hope thats enough.

To gain S-ON I also tried the suggestions from a few other posts, I guess the problem is that I didn't gain S-OFF by software but by using an XTC-Clip. The fastboot command to flash the hboot always returned something like remotly denied or simular
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paul1989:
this will not work with xtc clip i have 1 other way tho. please try this.

go into you start menu click RUN the type cmd in the dialog box. when you have the cmd up type C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 then it will say okay. then open the s-on tool then try to flash the HBOOT. let me know if you have anymore problems. but this way shud work for you

they will not accept it as they just have to go into the HBOOT menu and they will be able to see it is s-off. and they will send it back as it is and wont carrie out any sort of repairs on it as you have hacked the phone and comprimised the security software
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaefert:
hmm, well we will see. I will post as soon as I get an response. That command "fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30" always threw an error and somewhere I read that maximum 3 parameters are allowed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paul1989:
okay no worries. if they wont repair it. then get back to me and ill cook somthing up and get you back to s-on. this is the trouble when gaining s-off with a xtc clip. its a pain to get back to s-on again lol but good luck anyways
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaefert:
Thanks for the moral support, I hope they will repair it...

Well back then I had no chance, my Wildfire was delivered to me with hboot 1.01.001 back in the time where there was no software S-OFF method for 1.01.001 and up, so I found myself a shop that had an XTC-Clip and invested 10€ on him ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaefert:
Okey! So they repaired it although it had S-OFF done by XTC-Clip. Got it back yesterday, and the phone earpeace is working again :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paul1989:
Great news for you mate im glad they sorted it out for you. and your very lucky as they sent mine back twice for being s-off lol. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaefert:
lol, where are you from? and where did they send your device? Im from austria and they sent my device to slovakia and they gave me a slovenian report of what they did so I had to use google translate to understand it ;)

I have set up a dual boot on my HTC HD2 following one of the threads on this forum.

The phone boots into wm7 ok, but the problem is the Android boot (AmericanAndroid build)

I copied the Android folder as per the instructions

I go into magldr and select option 2. Boot AD SD

I then get the following messages.

Android load 1800000

From Microsd

Load Zimage

k: /ANDROID/Zimage

SD kernel open failed

Any suggestions as to what I may have done wrong?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
is this your first AmeriCan Android install?

Edit; Have you tried;

"In MAGLDR go to services(10)>Boot Settings(1)>AD SD Dir(3)>"choose your Android folder. Make sure you have all the files you extracted in sd/android."

(from HearMeWhisper)

Warren and Cope have recently changed the way ACA boots up
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Pobble:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes it is my first American Android install. and I set it to boot from the Android folder.

I extracted all the files, changed the rootfs and statrup files as per the instructions.

I previously tried the Warren and Cope build, but had the same problem
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Win_XP:
It's worked for me without any problems, try to put all the files in the root of your SD card, not in folder :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
"In MAGLDR go to services(10)>Boot Settings(1)>AD SD Dir(3)>"choose your Android folder. Make sure you have all the files you extracted in sd/android."

The "Android" folder is usually at the end and must not be confused with Androi~

Keep scrolling until you find it
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Pobble:
Thanks Win_XP and Robbie P.

Tried both suggestions, but still the same.

Excuse my ignorance as I am new to this although computer literate.

Looking at the setup text file it seems to point to the Android folder and part of the bootup message tells me it is looking at k: /Android/zImage

I cannot see the file zImage. Should I be able to see it or is it contained in another file?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
Not sure where the K: bit comes in either.

zimage should be in Android folder.

try deleting the files on the android partition (it is set to Primary Yes?)

do the rootfs manouvre

copy the folder "Android" to SD card. (dont bother editing startup for now)

In Magldr point to the Android folder as above (option 10 etc)

see if it boots from option 2
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moon2:
What is your sd card size, and what are the partition sizes?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Pobble:
Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have managed to get a bit further in that ALZip was not extracting zImage so this was the problem.

Managed to extract it and now have phone sitting on 'powered by AmeriCan Android' screen.

Not sure how long it should stay like that, but at least moving forward.

Just out of curiosity what do you people use to unzip files?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Robbie P:
7zip, its free and unlimited.

others like winrar expire after a time.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733640

Just want to confirm what I need to do.

On my current phone, copy the nandroid folder to my SDCard, and then move it to my computer.

Once I have my new phone. Root it, do a nandroid backup.

Then take the old phone nandroid backup and rename it to the new nandroid backup.

Then do a restore on the new phone with the old renamed nandroid backup?

Also, if I happen to get a different phone (they say if they are out of my current model they give a different one) is there anyway I can use my old nandroid backup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
you don't need to rename anything.. just put the old nandroid folder onto your sd (that's what it's called if you use Amon Ra recovery anyway) and then restore.

AFAIK no, you will not be able to use your nandroid for a different device for multitudes of reasons... it would be like trying e.g. to flash a DHD ROM on a Desire... just wouldn't work.

My very first Evo did that (it wasn't rooted at the time). It would just randomly change, but after a reboot it would be what I had set it to.
