do a backup before you root

so sequence is (after CWM step is complete)

backup

root

backup (not 100% necessary but saves u having to reroot if u restore a pre root backup)

install custom rom (not necessary - u can stick with stock)

the guide u linked to is great - follow it step by step and u wont go wrong

and enjoy ur unrestricted device
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
That 'guide' tells you to root but you should only root if you want Stock ROM + Root

If you want a custom ROM (which automatically have root) then you don't need to root your Stock ROM

So you'd want to do this

-Revolutionary- S-OFF > Custom Recovery (but flash it through HBOOT) > Nandroid Backup

Then you have a backup of your stock ROM, unrooted.

You can now manually root your stock ROM if you like.

That 'guide' should really state that root is NOT obligatory if you don't want to stick with your stock ROM.

I've flashed lots and lots of ROMs and played about with my phone so much, but not once have I ever manually rooted.

And don't bother with ROM Manager, just flash the fixed recovery provided in that 'guide' through HBOOT and you should be fine.

All the recovery options, including Nandroid Backup/Restore can be accessed by loading up the bootloader and choosing 'recovery'. No need to do anything through ROM Manager
[HTC Sensation] asapelectric:
I want to confirm; we do need to make nandroid for every custom kernal, right? Cause if I remember correctly, if something goes wrong, you cant restore a nandroid that was made from a different kernal than you presently have installed. Correct or incorrect??
[HTC Sensation] asapelectric:
Anyone, please? :D
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Never read about this anywhere, but I installed InsertCoin hours ago, and got kernel 2.6.35.14

When I restored a nandoird backup, I got again 2.6.25.10.

Maybe those numbers didn't change? I don't really remember, I hardly remember what I ate 10 mins ago xD

Good luck :D
[HTC Sensation] asapelectric:
So, maybe what Im remembering is, you can't restore a 2.3.3 backup, if you have rom with 2.3.4 installed, for example.
[HTC Sensation] Shroomster:
Shouldn't you be able to access nandroid recovery on a stock out of the box sensation by turning off fastboot and holding volume down and power when turning it on?

I tried on a friends stock sensation but it gave me an error and couldn't find a recovery image....

I always refrain from taking my xoom with me because I don't want to carry it. Any suggestions/tips on how to carry it without using a bag/backpack?

Seriously, though, you could easily carry it in the inside pocket of a barbour jacket... just not sure that would be good summer wear.
[Xoom Accessories] JanetPanic:
For late fall through winter the scottevest line is not a bad choice. The outback and the revolution would be the ones I recommend out of the current line. The one I use currently (the tactical 4.0 system) is like the revolution plus but with a removable fleece liner. I am thinking about buying a outback ( http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/Outback-Jacket.shtml ) for this fall.

As far as bags go the chrome bags minimalist ( http://www.chromebagsstore.com/bags/utility-bags/minimalist.html ) does the job well. It is big enough to carry the xoom (and not much else) but not so large as to be bulky.

Note that these suggestions are not the cheapest options out there. The chrome bags will last a long time though. (I have a mini-metro that I used as my daily laptop bag for 6 years and still use occasionally after 9 years) The evest line is nothing to write home about on durability though, just a normal jacket.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dane_griff:
Hi all,

I have a Galaxy S 2, and am having a big problem using the Video Editor application that's pre-installed.

I have over 30 videos on my device, 29 of which are on sd card under a folder from my previous phone, 1 of which is in the Samsung Camera folder. When I try to add a video, only 4 appear in the Video Editor library; the 1 from the Camera folder, and 3 from the previous phone folder.

I have checked all the video file details, and all are the same apart from the size. I have moved the previous phone videos into the Samsung Camera folder and still nothing, the same 4 videos only appear.

Would really appreciate any help to solve this problem I'm experiencing.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperbolic:
Which files are the 4 files that works, and which files are the files that doesn't work ?

Please be specific about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Yea, speaking about the resolution, file-type. Because these two are the main reasons of files not showing up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dane_griff:
Thanks for your response. Of the 4 files that appear in the video editor, 3 were captured on my previous phone and are .3gp format; and 1 was captured on my sgs2 and is .mp4 format. Of the files that don't appear in the video editor library, they were from my previous phone in .3gp format.

I'm pretty sure that when i first had the phone, all the videos appeared in the video editor library. I did try renaming one video yesterday, would that really affect it?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dane_griff:
Sorry for being a time waster, but I have now solved what was causing the problem.

The reason that only 3 files from my previous phone were appearing in the video editor library, is because those 3 files were 1280x720 resolution; whereas the files that did not appear were 800x480; so lower resolution videos will not appear in the library.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primeboss:
The Atrix's default adapter in an 5v = .85A, while the Ipad's is 5v = 2.1A. Is it safe for the battery to use this charger? I also have been using the ipod charger on my atrix too, should i countinue to use the ipod charger or does that have negitive effects too, ipod charger is 5v = 1A

Atrix: 5v = .85A

Ipod/Iphone: 5v = 1A

Ipad: 5v = 2.1A
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian426:
Typically, a device will only pull what it needs, amperage-wise. The ratings on power supplies are, to my knowledge, always indications of maximum amperage, not any form of 'forced' current. Thus, the only time you need to be worried is if it is lower than your device's required input. You should be fine with either.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
+1

That's correct. I actually spent a lot time researching that kind of stuff because I use electronic cigarettes and finding chargers for them was difficult. Anyways, as long as it's 5V it should be fine. They actually make AC adapters that are iPad "compatible", meaning that they are just rated at 2.1A but it still works with the iPhone which the OP has stated uses a lower Amperage.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primeboss:
Thank you, both of you.

Would it charge the same rate?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlywine:
the fact that a device will pull as much as it needs is true, but that is true only to the devices, appliances, and anything that is using the electricity, not storing it - which is the case with the battery. any electrical device uses only as much power as it needs. for example: a 55watt house light bulb will only use .5 amps, (110 volts AC) even though the circuit is wired for 15 amps max.

When it comes to cellphones, the cellphone is the device that uses the power and the battery stores the power. during charging, battery will try to pull as much in as you will give it, unless there is a limiting factor involved. a limiting factor can be a charger it self, which will supply 1.0 amps, .85 amp max, or what ever the case may be. also there may be a limiting factor built in to the phones circuitry it self that would allow only so much to go through ( i seriously doubt though)

By plugging in to 2.1A charger, the battery will try to intake all 2.1 amps,

Pro: you are charging the battery in half the time.

Con: if it doesn't destroy the battery right away, the lifespan of it and usefulness decreases dramatically.

This is called overcharging the battery, do some research on that and you will find out that overcharging the battery is never a good thing.

2.1A is not enough to destroy the battery right away, but if you would have plugged in 5 or 10 amp charger, it probably would, i'm just saying this to explain the concept.

I personally do use a 1.0A charger that i have left over from previous cellphone (touch pro 2) and your ipod charger should be ok too, but I wouldn't use anything bigger then that.

a small experiment that you can conduct which may or may not work. compare the temperatures of the battery/cellphone while it is charging on .85amp charger and 2.1amp, when it is on a bigger charger, it should get a lot hotter, and that is what destroys the battery.

As far as my knowledge goes, i have taken enough classes about electricity and electronics, and have been working in the field for several years, so i hope i was helpful enough and explained it in simple enough terms for everyone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian426:
I might have to double check that. There is a chance that there is some sort of limiting circuit between the wall and the charger for the Atrix... I am fairly certain at least laptops do so. I will see if I have a stronger charger and I will check the voltage across the leads in the atrix... if I can.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlywine:
Its not voltage that you should be checking, voltage should be same in all usb chargers, about 5 volts, you should be checking amps
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian426:
My mistake... realized that after I posted it.

Also -- I do not have any USB charger that is over one amp, so I cannot check this. If anyone has a mutineer and a more powerful charger, they could do so.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
The important factor is the Voltage which is at 5V for both the iPad and Atrix chargers. Whether it is rated at 10W or 5W does not matter because that just reflects the capacity for the current. And the charger is "rated" at 2.1 meaning it can handle that current rather than meaning it will force it. The "draw" of current is decided by the phone itself, as long as the Voltage is identical, the other factors should not matter.

If you read the "Summary" here it will say that, with the iPad charger, you can charge an iPhone which is similar to the Atrix in charging specs:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlywine:
thanks live4nyy, i never saw those before. with all the stuff described there, the only conclusion possible is that each device has its built in limiter on how much it will pull while charging, or apple figures that with a bigger charger your battery on ipod/iphone will still last you past the 1 year manufacturers warranty expiration date, but barely past that date, instead of lasting 3-5 years like its suppose to. what ever the case is with apple, i just hope we have a safety built in into our atrix phones. I guess the only way to find out is to actually check the amperage while its charging.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I'm almost positive that the lithium batteries in phones these days are "rated" for specific current and have built in circuits that dictates the "flow", which is also the same thing that causes the battery to go into a "trickle" charge when near capacity. Just for that there has to be some sort of "regulation" happening. See also here:

http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/question501.htm

But I agree, better safe than sorry. If you happen to have an iPad charger that you plan on using let me know how it goes. I'm curious as well. :)

omfg.... did you atleast read any post? i don't need to flash anything... i need for flashtool to just detect my phone...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
Or you can try this: after you have flashed a firmware on your phone, reinstall the drivers (SEUS and PC Companion) then reboot your computer. Once PC rebooted turn on USB debugging and Unknown Sources and open up flashtool, it should work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2ha:
nvm, it's working now, the update service reinstalled ( i guess ) the drivers :) thanks for your help guys :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geordie 34:
Now you can go on a re root
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
look, you said to flash using flashtool you just turn on debugging mode. i am just correcting you. is there any problems with that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
too late ... but solution

download and paste spearately chargemon(file) and xrecovery(file). i think both are in tar format. they should have been installed with xrecovery. but, maybe u accidentally deleted them or corrupted them or 3rd-party-apps could have done the corruption. download and paste spearately chargemon(file) and xrecovery(file) to phone's memory (system/bin/PASTE HERE). if the one or more of the files i specified existed already, you should replace them with the downloaded ones as it is possible that they are corrupted. :D

THIS IS THE WAY TO GET xRECOVERY BACK coz u said u cant boot into recovery.

(NOT THE SOLUTION TO DRIVERS PROBLEM).

I've got dd dumps of the entire MT "disk" and individual dd dumps of each partition. I also have tars of each file system.

I took the dd "images" prior to the first boot into the OS, by holding volume-down+power. That put me into the strange read-write boot loader mode. Then I connected the phone via USB to a linux box. Unfortunately, Ubuntu auto-mounted the phone "disk" and all the file systems which no doubt updated some file system timestamps, but I didn't change anything. I unmounted the file systems, took my dd images then mounted them again and tar'd them up. Then unmounted and rebooted the phone and activated it.

Unfortunately, I doubt I have enough karma to upload yet. Perhaps I can put them somewhere for you to download directly? PM me for the location. Sorry offer open to souder14 only, or someone else with enough karma to post them to xda.

android version 2.3.3 (build 1.18.401.1)

Kernel 2.6.35.10

This ROM is designed to be a slightly stripped down ROM with a few basic tweaks just to get the ball rolling

I intend this list of mods to improve as we learn more about the cha cha's capabilities

FOR S-OFF USERS ONLY

clockworkmod recovery

busybox 1.19

superuser 2.3.6.1

a2sd (needs sd partition)

EXT2 auto-mount

Nano text editor and sysro/sysrw

Bash shell support

zipaligned

ES File manager

DSP Manager

Ad free

Silent boot animation

task killer tweak for extra speed

Screen timeout set to 30 seconds instead of 45

Removed apps:

Google books

HTC Tips widget

Pro tips

Stocks widget

Tell HTC

Trends widget

HTC twitter

Flickr

Sound recorder

HTC photo widget

With nothing else installed you get 57MB free storage

Things I intend to be able to eventually include are more complicated kernel mods like over/underclocking, some theming mods and more memory optimizations

Installation instructions:

1. copy superdroid_1.0_signed.zip to the root of your SD card

2. make sure fastboot is turned off

3. reboot into the recovery menu

4. set a partition on the sdcard in the advanced settings for the a2sd

5. I advise wiping both the cache and dalvik cache as well otherwise you'll probably get bootloop issues

5. select choose .zip and pick the superdroid_1.0_signed.zip

6. once installed then reboot and give it time to turn on for the first time (up to 5 minutes)

7. enjoy :)

If you have any problems with superuser forceclosing use this method osahiro found to fix the issue. It seems to be common with the 1.18 update

1. Delete Superuser's update and clear data.

2. Reinstall superuser from the market.

3. Enable 'Auto-rotate screen' on the Display settings.

4. Change the screen to the portrait mode.

5. Run Superuser and allow permission to update its own.

6. Restart the handset
