[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
And unless you paid for the kick ass insurance or got it through say Best Buy you may end up getting a replacement phone that is in the same boat anyways. Dam how do insurance company's and Verizon get away with sending these "like new replacments" out.

I have had my phone rooted just over a week, and I have been doing nothing but reading and just missing around with ADB and what works for a majority of other users. Keep reading, keep learning, and dont give up.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
An unlocked bootloader allows you to flash unsigned images. Root becomes as easy as recovery in a PG05IMG.zip, then flashing the package in recovery. No exploit needed.

Also, along with the do not doubt it voids your warranty, HTC adding support does not mean Verizon will allow it. If Verizon says no, HTC will not add support to the web tool.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
You aren't giving them a new phone. You are giving a broken one. They in turn are giving you a refurbished used one to put you back AT LEAST in the same position as owning your used phone.

That, and they get away with it because you signed a contract allowing it.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
You have a point about Verizon allowing it. I did mention the ability to flash a rooted RUU via hboot.

I guess we will just have to wait and see what Verizon does.

[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Yes you mentioned it, but it is not correct.

A PG05IMG.zip is merely a file format for flashing via hboot. Each HTC devce has its own naming scheme. An RUU is a rom update utility and is in executable format. However, what most people do is extract the rom.zip in it, which has images that flash the phone from top to bottom.

With the bootloader unlocked, there is no need to go to such extremes. You can flash JUST a recovery and then use it to install super user and be done.
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
I think since Phones in the future will be shipping with unlocked bootloaders the site will not be needed for those devices for reasons I just wrote, but the site would be past phones that still shipped with the bootloaders locked and those are going to be the one that will be tracked for voided warranty. In the future it will be as easy and the Droid Charge (shipped with unlocked bootloader) Root method (easy and cake) I did one for a friend and was like "thats it" so painless. There will be no reason to show HTC or Verizon that you did anything to future phones it will be so easy to gain SU on the next phone from HTC on America's Favorite Network. :)
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I see. Thank you for explaining. I'm no dev, but do enjoy learning new things. That makes sense :)

To grnlantern79, HTC will not be shipping any devices with unlocked bootloaders, which is the reason for the website tool. I don't think they will be supporting legacy devices with this tool. Only newer and future devices.

Sent from my HTC GingerBolt powered by Gingeritis 1.2.1
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
I want to blame the news or lack of LOL this was the last post I read.

Peter Chou, CEO of HTC said, "Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience."

and now that you brought up your point this is what I found,

HTC will continue to ship all their phones with locked bootloaders, but will be offering a web-based tool for those who wish to have full control over their handsets.

Dam HTC make up your mind LOL.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I 100% expected it to be this way when I first heard they will unlock bootloaders. I think its at least a step in the right direction.

Sent from my HTC GingerBolt powered by Gingeritis 1.2.1
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
Yes step in the right direction it is but correct me if I am wrong, didnt the Droid Charge ship with an unlocked bootloader?
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Samsung phones are always unlocked and easiest to root. HTC ones are generally all locked by the OEM (well until now), but the community finds a way to unlock them.
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
You wonder if the reason they unlock them is because they know they will never send any updates to the phones LOL.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Possibly, lol. Though I just think they're trying to not go the path moto tried and failed with on phones such as the Droid X.

Those that think they really care about you unlocking it on their site can't really explain how their future phones will come unlocked by default without any tools. Still unknown for sure, but I believe they said they would not be locking any new releases from now on as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandamaja:
General question, I was running a ROM up until this morning when I wanted to try something new. I made a backup, wiped, flashed. This new rom feels a bit slower, and I'd like to compare some quads (yeah yeah yeah) against the old on.

Should I reflash, or just restore the nandroid backup?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
A lot of roms require to wipe dalvik/data cache before flashing, and therefore lose your personal settings. If you reflash, you may have to do just that, and reset personal settings versus a restore.

I'm working on compiling a kernel for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. I've got source and the proper toolchain installed, but I need a rootfs. I did this for the Epic, but it's been quite a while. In the kernel config file CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE needs to be pointed to the source rootfs, if I remember correctly. Can someone lend a hand? Is there a FAQ or HOWTO?

Thanks for the tip!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lardman:
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm having issues too (having only just had time to actually compile something from the Gingerbread source).

So, I've got the gingerbread update 2 kernel source, have extracted the initramfs.cpio from the existing gb kernel and pointed the appropriate CONFIG setting of the kernel p1_defconfig at that file and then performed a build. My assumption was that this would build a kernel that would boot and be nearly identical to the vanilla kernel. But apparently not as it just hangs.

Anyone know off-hand what I'm missing?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lardman:
My issue was that the script I was using to extract the initramfs from the zImage wasn't working properly and was apparently truncating the cpio file. This was causing hangs when I rebuilt the kernel using this initramfs.

Using this script all works fine: https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs

Now i wanted to root the 2.3.4 , i downloaded this file "CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar"

Flashed this with odin , and now the fone is not booting up :S . I can go into the download mode . I tried flashing the same xxjvq rom via odin , but now odin is giving me Fail .

Please help me out here :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonVito2020:
Hi,

May be the downloaded firmware is corrupted. That could be the reason its failing.

Try this link out (GingerReal - V7.1.4 JVQ) It has clear instructions how to flash a custom rom and all the downloads.

Here is another link (Martux ROM V3) as well, with JVR base rom link.

Here are the deodexed versions by Ramad.

There should be 3 bin files that you are looking for.
