[G2 and Desire Z General] mastergara:
Background info: Froyo 2.2 rooted (S-OFF), attempting to follow steps to get upgraded to GB 2.3.3 per the TMO update.

I suspect that I am somehow goofing step 1 there, so I will start at that point. I downloaded the PC10IMG.zip from the link, and attempt to flash it. I suspect the part of "with the G2 engineering bootloader" is the part I am not getting.

Per the advice of some other folks, I am using 4EXT, and when I attempt to use that to flash the PC10IMG.zip, it simply fails. I verified the md5sum (FCIV is the tool from MS for winders), and it shows as "76db47d9af20d5c3413038f4c3677694", so I will assume that is the proper hash. When attempting to apply, it shows the following:

Processing..

Mounting sdcard..

-- Installing /sdcard/download/flash/PC10IMG.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/download/flash/PC10IMG.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Critical error! Installation aborted!
Cancelling pending actions and booting UI

So if I cannot apply the PC10IMG.zip file provided using 4EXT, is there a means to keep all my data (yes, I have a backup, but better to not have to use it), and apply SOMETHING to this phone which will allow me to take my rooted Froyo image and apply the official (blessed) TMO upgrade to GB? There are lots of neat and shiny options for ROMs out there, but my phone I use daily, and would simply like to get to the (rooted) official TMO GB version.

In short: How do I check which bootloader I have?

Screen that comes up when I use vol- + Power to startup:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC10100000)
MICROP-0425

HBOOT

<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item

FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET

Recovery puts me into 4EXT, which is where I am trying to apply the PC10IMG.zip file.

Help? Please let me know what information is useful (or what I am missing) to get this phone to GB. Many thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] strawmetal:
You can't try to usurp a recovery by trying to flash another recovery through it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mastergara:
If I understand that correctly, I cannot use a recovery utility to apply a recovery utility. That said, I would appear to have a misunderstanding of the previous supplied instructions stating "Flash this PC10IMG.zip"

What tool is used to flash it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
pc10img.zip is to be done through hboot (also called bootloader or spl) can not be flashed through recovery.

when you wrote down your specs the hboot is the bootloader you have

4ext is the best recovery for the g2, but this not how you flash pc10img.zips, put the .zip on the root of your sdcard, the boot into hboot. let it load, then say yes. it will do the rest for you, then reboot
[G2 and Desire Z General] frazelle09:
Wow, this thread is still active.

i can't remember how i got root, recovery and finally CM on my first G2 but it seemed that it was very, very simple. i had hoped to find my personal notes on how i did it, but nada, so since i have a G2 that's already rooted and CM recovery and CM 7 i think that is the version, is there any way of making an image of this -- what -- disk?, and then just copying it over the 2.3.4 GB that the new G2 has?

i'm using Linux (PCLinuxOS) and have adb, but don't really know what to do with it and can't remember if i finally used it the first time or not.

Have a great morning! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] webmaster:
Is there any method to gain root without downgrading? I have an S-on, 2.3.4 device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zelbinion:
So, the problem I am having is that the bootloader is scanning for PC10IMG.zip, but never prompts me to apply it.

I did the downgrade to 2.2, ran gfree to set s-off and superCID, then followed the link above to manually install 2.3.4, then put PC10IMG.zip and su.zip on my sdcard and rebooted into the bootloader, and it shows scanning for PC10IMG.zip, but never prompts me to install it. What am I missing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] yogi2010:
I've had that happen occasionally. Sometimes i have to re-copy the PC10IMG.zip file onto my sdcard, and make sure it copied over correctly... and also make sure it is on the root of the sdcard and has the exact right name. Good luck
[G2 and Desire Z General] zelbinion:
I tried re-downloading PC10IMG.zip, and copying it over to the sdcard multiple times, but it never worked for me. So, I tried the fastboot method, which did the trick:

Reboot the phone into the bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

When you get to the bootloader and it says FASTBOOT USB type:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

You should now be on the black screen with the HTC logo so now type:

fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip

Wait until the zip file has been applied, then a wait a few seconds more just to be safe, then type:

fastboot reboot

Once that is done, you can reboot into recovery mode:

adb reboot recovery

You should now be in clockwork mod recovery.

Select "install zip from sdcard", then "chose zip from sdcard", select su.zip, and install.

Hope this helps someone, and thanks to rdmerck for figuring out how to get the G2 on stock 2.3.4 with superuser and clockwork recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dearoldblighty:
excellent guide. Thank you!

[G2 and Desire Z General] rayjack10:
I have s-off but my device after scanning the SD will tell me no pc10img.zip found I bought it with s-off and I think its refublished please what do I do and how do I root it? thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Is your goal to flash a custom rom? If you have security flags removed root is most easily obtained by flashing a custom rom via recovery, if you don't have a custom recovery then you need to flash one from fastboot.

Search the general and q&a sections then if you still need help ask, but be sure to write down all info about your phone including everything in bootloader screen or we can't help
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] tr.supradeep:
This is a normal doubt which arises in the mind of the users that can they apply any coderom theme in Coderom.v2 or v2b. Many professional users know the answer to this question and also know how to do it. This is for those who dont know.

YES, you can use the same themes in this coderom version too. All you need to do is follow the procedure.

Procedure:

1. Go to recovery.

2. Flash this theme Coderom Default and reboot.

3. Reboot back into recovery after a successful boot (with or without errors).

4. First select 'wipe cache partition'.

5. Go to 'mounts and storage'.

6. Select 'mount /system'.

7. Now apply the theme as you used to do in other ROMS. i.e. flash the zip by choosing that zip etc etc.

8. Reboot.

Note: Remember that whenever you have to reapply your theme in CWM, always mount /system using the procedure before flashing.

The /system gets unmounted after each flashing of zip (as the zip itself has a command to unmount /system).

Click thanks if this helped you :)

Hey Im using iho jerryscript. 03 which is absolutly perfect and I was wondering what would happen if I would delete the adw launcher????? Would I be be able to use the phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jawz101:
Just switch to another launcher before you delete it

I wouldn't completely delete it, though so at least you have a fallback
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jchavez1993:
Ok so iho does not come with a native launcher like asop?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eollie:
No ADW is the "system" launcher of this rom.

IIRC in the rom thread there is a link to the stock launcher.

If thats what your looking for. Otherwise install another and just uninstall ADW dont delete it. Deleting it without uninstalling can cause problems.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jchavez1993:
Ok thanks I will look for the stock launcher
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrg666:
What is the problem with ADW? I have been using it with IHO and don't see any problems with it. ADW is better than the stock launcher. If you don't want to use the additional features, you can configure just like the stock launcher. I would leave it alone instead of dealing with going back to stock launcher after every ROM update.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jchavez1993:
I personally don't have a problem with adw I jus wanted the feel to be as close as possible to gb

Hello!

My problem is, that i have bought a new car holder for my x10.

Now i have the problem, when i slip in my phone, the hardwarebutton for the camera is permanently pushed.

Does anyone have an applikation, which switches of the hardwarebutton?

Many thanks,

Greetings :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorglub08:
- Install ButtonRemapper (root needed)

- open it, click on "focus" in the list and then pick "dpad center" / "none"

if it presses enough to trigger the camera and not just the focus, do the same for camera in the list.

- in ButtonRemapper settings, uncheck "boot monitor" and check "hot reboot".

- click Apply, your phone will reboot after a few seconds.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kicker13:
Thank you a lot, zorglub08!! :)

It works perfectly.

By the way, what activates the dpad center?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorglub08:
The d pad center doesn't activate anything in the home, that's why I picked it, in practice in just just disables the button. If you launched an emulator or some app that supports a hardware directional pad, it may do "Enter"/"OK". I didn't try though, on my phone, I didn't find and app that used it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
I was going to PM this to you, but since you made another thread i'll post it here.

To properly disable the camera button, you must edit the es209ra_keypad.kl file. This file controls how the Android OS responds to the hardware buttons.

Use Root Explorer (or any other root file manager app) and navagate to /system/usr/keylayout/ and open the es209ra_keypad.kl file for editing. I am doing this on 2.3.3, so the file may be different depending on your ROM. Either way, it is easy to tell which lines need editing.

Once you have the file open, place a hash (#) in front of the "CAMERA" and "FOCUS" lines as follows:

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

key 229 MENU
key 59 MENU
key 213 MENU
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 158 BACK

key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 62 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 231 CALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 61 CALL WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 POWER WAKE
#key 212 CAMERA

#key 215 FOCUS
key 226 HEADSETHOOK

Once you have edited the file, reboot your phone.

This effectivly stops Android from even seeing that the camera button exists, hence, the camera button will do absolutly nothing to the phone. If you change ROMs, you will have to do this again.

Cheers to Pierre Duc who created the thread about stopping the home button from waking the phone, otherwise I wouldn't even know that this file exists.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
Anyone else experiencing this? I have all sorts of weird issues with Car Mode, but this one takes the cake.

Whenever the Infuse exits Car Mode (whether I have launched Doubletwist in the recent past or not doesn't seem to matter), my Infuse will start playing music over the speaker from Doubletwist.

Launching Doubletwist and pausing play doesn't work, the music continues to play until I go into task manager and kill Doubletwist from there.

All I've got to say is WTF?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TechGoon954:
I have same problem when i use my Logitech speakers through me headphone jack or when I disconnect my Bluetooth. And mine keeps playing the same freaking song. Haven't figured it out myself either.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
OK, that might narrow it down to disconnecting from bluetooth, since that's part of the exit from car mode. I had some unrelated issues with Navigation and did a factory reset yesterday and I'm reinstalling doubletwist. I got rid of AZW launcher as a result of this and haven't reinstalled it. I'll see if this problem continues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
Yep

Still happening with doubletwist even after the factory reset. This has to be a doubletwist bug.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I have had an issue with bluetooth doing this at disconnect. It has primarily been an android issue....not specific to any rom or phone.

Scenario 1. music playing, car gets turned off ie bt device off, music continues to play.

Scenario 2. music playing, car gets turned off ie bt device off, music pauses but resumes randomly

There was once some info in the Evo forums about this but It will take some digging for me to find it. The only solution I can think of now it to completely end (or kill on apps like doubletwist and mixzing) the music app prior to disconnect.

I will see if I can find the googl issue and the info I recall seeing in the evo forum.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
I really don't think it's the same thing, actually. What you are describing seems to be a missed event (BT disconnect) that should stop an already running process (music player, doubletwist, etc).

What's happening to me is that doubletwist isn't even running in the first place and it starts playing music on BT disconnect. When you launch doubletwist to stop the music, it shows that it is NOT playing anything, while the task manager shows that it is and the music only stops when the process is killed.

I checked on doubletwist's forums and this issue has been raised and has 12 votes, beginning back in 2010, and they've chosen to not fix it.

I uninstalled doubletwist today and the problem has not reoccurred with a different app, so I think that pretty much points the finger at the app, rather than Android.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
that is really odd....

I have issues with a few of my music apps that are very similar. (can't stand doubletwist so that isn't one)

many of them have no dedicated stop/end function, so even if i back out...they still linger in the background unless forcestop

THEN...when the disconnect event takes place they start playing

in your case it sounds like you verified doubletwist is not in task list running, bt disconnects/exit car mode and it starts itself?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
I haven't gone so far as to check the task list before disconnect, but doubletwist had not been launched by me. I suppose it's possible it was lurking in the background if Android was running it without my knowledge, but that seems unlikely as often as this happens.

I'm chalking this up to a badly coded app and moving on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Gotcha....yeah i ditched doubleteist for that reason...there were several system events that troggered it to open on its own...mainly plugging the phone in to a charger...the phone would go into mass storage mode every time.

U made the right decision lol

[Android Apps and Games] NewWorldOrphan9:
I know this thread is old, but what the hell. That deactivate/reactivate didn't work for me on my main account that isn't getting push notifications. Funny thing is I wanted to see if it was just the app or the account, so I made a new Facebook account to test the push notifications on that. Push notifications for the app work with the test account, but not with my daily main account (same phone, same app on phone). I have tried everything under the sun. I've tried the BB thing, turned platform thing off, uninstall/reinstall, cleared cache and data, removed every attached app, literally everything I can think of and/or find online. I think something is not allowing my main account to receive push notifications, like they're being sent to an old phone (which there is no other devices logged in) or some chrome extension or app/program I attached to my Facebook has ****ed it all up. I haven't had push notifications in probably probably 3 years, on my SGS2 and nothing on my SGS5 I got 2 years ago... Sorry for ranting, but I just wish it would work. Do you think my main Facebook account is attached to a very Old Android Device ID?
[Vibrant General] uninvitedguest:
I'm running Bionix V 1.3.2 with the Immortality 2.1 kernel.

What I'm curious about is everyone's preferred overclocking app?

From what it looks like, it comes down to SetCPU, No-frills, Tegrak, or CPU tuner.

No frills advertises doing the overclocking without running in the background- which is appealing.

What are your thoughts?
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Im not familiar with anything other then set cpu. I like it because I set up profiles for charging, screen off and temp. Ive used it for a while even when not overclocking, just for the screen off profile.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
go with set CPU that's great the profiles really help save battery
[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
You can use Voltage Control to OC too...

Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
[Vibrant General] uninvitedguest:
So it looks like there are a couple of categories the overclocking apps can be divided in to- those with profile management and without, and those for the SGS only.

Profile Management: SetCPU ($1.95), Tegrak ($1.95), CPU Tuner (Free)

Without: No Frills (Free), Voltage Control (Free/$3.84)

Both Tegrak and Voltage Control are specific to the SGS family- why would I want to buy a program that only works with specific phones when I can get a solution that will work with all my future phones?

I know SetCPU is the most commonly used solution, but I keep reading so many complaints in the forums. Does anyone have any experience with CPU tuner in comparison to the others? I'll at least tinker with it when I have time since I'll have more than 15 minutes to see if I like it.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Set cpu is horrible, atleast from my experience.

Constant screen of death, meaning after I lock phone,it won't turn on until reboot.

Instability. Lagged my phone even with oc only up to 1.2

Voltage control is what I prefer.
[Vibrant General] JettyLife:
Sounds like your kernel is not compatible with setcpu =]

Some are not and votage control is preferred.
