[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
Okay so for the past hour and a half I've been searching for the method to root a stock Froyo fascinate for my GF, I have an epic so I know how everything works, and always read before posting but for the life of me I can't find where the guide is to root Froyo. Thought I had it here using post #5:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-please-read-post-1-before-posting-forum.html

But the dang SU +Busybox link he has posted doesn't work anymore.

I have the ROM, Theme and Kernel I'm going to install, I've got the CWM Odin tar to install after root, all I need is the freakin root method for rooting Froyo. Was a 1-click root method ever updated for froyo cause the link I posted said it wasn't..

Thanks guys.

EDIT: every guide I find for Froyo insists on downloading the SU +busybox package right after flashing cwm through ODIN but they all have the same link that doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have that file mirrored?

Also what if I just flash CommRom 2.1 right after odining cwm? Would that give me perm root or that wouldn't work either?

Now go into development section and click on the ed05 powerwashed thread. Imo thats the best "daily driver" rom out and it seems that the missed call issue is fixed. Oh and yes its debloated/debinged/deodexed/zip aligned/rooted... I recommend downloading just the rom then flash the pbj kernal instead of otb-fusion.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sun7eash3d:
I just picked up a spare battery and was curious to hear some opinions on what would affect the battstats the most.

Would the stats and battery drain be less accurate if I were to bump charge multiple times a day, or if I swapped out batteries when needed?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfuncion:
What my girlfriend and I have noticed is at the beginning multi battery straight swaps aren't that bad. Over time though the stats get bad and charge life BLOWS GOATS. Also on another note I purchased an extended battery 3600mAh and that thing sucked horse malarkey! To get it to fully charge we had to use an external charger. when u put it on the phone it rocked at 100% for about 30 minutes then dropped to like 15%, then 5%, then sat at 1% for 16-48 hours straight depending how it was charged. The ongoing low battery notification was just too annoying so we tossed it.

Overall a single battery is your best bet but a secondary battery will get you by in a pinch. That's how her an I both roll now and seem to get much better battery life with a single battery.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
You might just end up with the retail price of a Thunderbolt on your next bill. Really tho they will be able to take one look and see you are running leaked software.

BTW the pink "Locked" at the top of hboot has to do with having HTC's official unlock capabilities built in. You can still root that build easily.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Well I don't know of any root method where the first thing you do is flash an hboot so..... Also the only way I know of for sure to root that build is with Revolutionary but I don't think there is a mac version. Plus it makes it somewhat hard to get back to stock when you use Revolutionary.

THE HOW TO GUIDE

​

This guide will show you how to go from whatever you are on to the TMOUS 1.45.531.1 + ClockWorks Custom Recovery + Root​

The intention of this guide is to create a NOOBPROOF guide so any assistance or guidance in creating such a guide is welcomed

ASSUMPTIONS

This guide is under the assumption that:

1.	You have S-Off

2.	You have Clockworks 4.0.1.4 (The one with the BLUE writing)

3.	You are rooted

4.	You have a T-Mobile-branded Sensation

If you don’t have any of the assumptions above, Go to this post and run steps 1 through 3

CHANGES

The T-Mobile OTA v1.45.531.1 changes from T-Mobile

The radio attached with this OTA is 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 which is the same version as the 1.45.401.2 OTA/RUU in our European counterparts. Link to radio only is here Read how to flash radio here

The Radio-Interface-Layer or RIL found on this version is HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ which is what is known to compatible with 2.3.4 ROMs and found with the 1.45.401.2 OTA/RUU update in our European counterparts.

DISCLAIMER

ALL TOOLS, DOWNLOADS, LINKS AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANT – EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING AS TO THEIR LEGAL EFFECT AND COMPLETENESS.

They are for guidance and should be modified to meet your needs. Use at your own risk.

In most, if not all, cases; these actions void warranty.

PROCEDURES

1.	NANDROID BACKUP!! I cannot stress how important it is to backup. Enter CWM and backup! Problems remembering how to start CWR Check out the subsection marked

“To Start Clockwork Recovery”

of this post

2.	Get the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed from the Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection. Link to post is here

3.	Flash the above file to your phone. Needless to say –

THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND PLACE YOU BACK TO STOCK 1.29. PLEASE NOTE! This will NOT remove S-OFF !!

4.	On your phone, Go to Settings -> About Phone -> HTC Updates, and press the check now button. It should prompt you to download the 1.45 Update. Download and install the update.

5.	Once you have downloaded and installed the update, it’s time to install Clockworks Recovery. Carefully follow the instructions in Step 2 here

6.	Once Clockworks Recovery installed and working, just continue with Step 3 in above post or here to get rooted.

7.	Once rooted, re-run Revolutionary! Check Step 1 in the above post or here The reason for rerunning Revolutionary is that the OTA update changes the HBOOT so you don’t have all fastboot commands like fastboot flash. This may be necessary when it comes to assistance with other ROMs.

8.	NANDROID BACKUP!! – That way you don’t have to do this twice!

9.	Press Thanks at the bottom of the post if this has helped you in any way.

NOTES

Revolutionary still works!

Fr3vo Exploit for temp root does NOT work after OTA update!

The biggest SHOUT OUT and THANK YOU to

nxt

[HTC Sensation] tmcdoniel:
I'm at step 4. The system isn't prompting me to download it, but I already have the .zip on my sdcard from when T-Mobile did prompt me earlier. I can see it, even extract the folders using ES File Explorer but I don't know how to actually launch the installation of this update. I tried rebooting into recovery, thinking I could install it from zip, but I get to the main screen, then I select backup and recovery and it doesn't let me access that. I'm still S-off. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Tim
[HTC Sensation] tmcdoniel:
Figured it out. I was able to get into stock recovery using the up arrow and pwr button. I did have to move the OTA zip file to the root of my sdcard, because for some reason the Download folder wasn't displayed. Currently the update is installing and then I'll rerun the Revolution to get perm root again.

Thank you,

Tim
[HTC Sensation] amorek13:
did you rename the zip i have the same problem?
[HTC Sensation] tmcdoniel:
No, I didn't rename it, I only moved it to the root of the sdcard, because the Downloads directory wasn't visible for some reason in stock recovery. Once I did that I could see the file and launched it. It updated, I then ran the revolutionary tool to install the Clockworks recovery, and then ran the file that gives the perm root again.

Seems to be working fine, although I haven't seen any incredible advantages to it so far. Perhaps I'll notice the differences after using it for a time.

Thank you,

Tim
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
I've been using my NC for a cuople of months - and really like it - I'm gonna try and get Netflix on the device this weekend - so loaded a fresh ROM onto clean SD card for experimentation.

Gone through the Google Market setup screen - always asks if I want to keep device backed up with my google account as an option.

I've loaded new ROM's with either option selected - and would like to know what are the advantages ( pros / cons )

* Keep device backed up with my Google Account - vs - not

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Question 2 Then --- there's an IMPORTANT : READ THIS message re: this program is used to search for applications on the market. Click OK - or Cancel

* What programs is Google looking for here. Again - I've tried it both ways selecting OK - and Cancel - and haven't quite figured out the pros / cons of either selection? It lists a bunch of generic Google / facebook / Gmail accounts to select. Is the recommended to just press " OK " each time - and choose the apps you want installed?

-----------------------------------------

Then Backup and Restore options with 2 options??

* Restore from my Google Account to this device

* Keep this device backed up with my Google Account

Not sure what info it's backing up and restoring - Apps / Data / Everything. Does this replace Titanium backup - I don't know info about the details of each choice to make an informed decision of whether or not I should just choose the default selected options - or uncheck them during Install.

Thanks

So, mah peoples, here is a nice lil question... What can we do to help POSITIVELY encourage developers to shake the tree a bit and have a development frenzy. Now I know that devs usualyl dont play nice with one another BUT I think it would be fun to give them the incentive to work together and have fun making something kinda UBER. This is a rough idea so I don't want too many overly intelligent people pointing out reasons that it WON'T happen, lets hear ideas and reasons that it SHOULD and COULD happen. Have fun with this, let your ideas run wild, and lets see what we can create!

ive heard about it before.

it mostly happens to people that have a simcard where the circuits are smaller then on other simcards. it seems that on those simcards the phone sometimes doesnt see them and says that there is no sim inserted.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz-L:
Hello, im new to androids and rooting, and i own a galaxy s2 which i have just rooted with Chainfires CF-root which also installed Clockwork mod recovery. I have a couple of questions on how to install custom roms, for example if i would like to flash villainrom, what are the exact steps i need to take? I have read as much as possible but im not sure if the same applies to custom roms in general.

So far im thinking i have to put the custom rom on my phones sd card and then flash it via clickwork mod, however i have read something about doing a nandroid backup and data wipe bdfore flashing the rom. Ideally i would hope somebody can do a quick step by step guide explaining the above, and tell me weather this applies to custom roms in general?

Im very grateful for any help, thx in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Once you have rooted your phone make sure you have enabled usb debugging.

Go to settings, applications, development, enable usb debugging.

Then connect phone to pc, and transfer rom.

Then boot into recovery mode, to do this switch phone off, then press vol up, home and power.

Then wipe data, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

Then go to install zip from sd card, select zip, click ok and cwm will take care of the rest :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz-L:
Thx so much for the breakdown of how to do this, will this cause me to loose all data?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Yes you will lose all data.

It's worth doing a backup, you can use titanium backup.

Download it from the market.

I don't tend to back things up, as contacts etc are synced and backed up with my google account.

And I just redownload my apps.

You'll find some roms don't wipe data, but it's generally advisable to always wipe before flashing any rom, and therefore backup if you have a lot of data. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz-L:
Ok so its basicaly that same process when flashing any custom rom? just needed it step by step, thx for the tip on titanium bu, and thx again for ur help, much appreciated;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Yeah pretty much the same for every rom.

It's always worth reading the first post in every thread though, as I came across a rom recently that could only be flashed using odin, I think it was litening rom.

But if not 99% of custom roms can be done the way I described :)

And I know what you mean about needing things step by step, these forums seem very complicated at first, the best advice I can give you is to read read read.

When I first joined earlier this month everything seemed so complicated but it's fairly straight forward when you get used to it.

I now flash about ten times a day, but I have a problem lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz-L:
Sorry for the delayed reply, lol jeez 10 times a day, i get how it can be so fun and addictive though, trying custom roms and themes etc.

As i said though im new to android, came from an iphone 4 which i always used to jailbreak.

And yeah i know what you mean, im doing my best to read as much as i can, but here on xda things move so fast and theres that many different things to learn it gets scary hehe.

Im still to try and flash a rom, i was going to try villainrom first, but do you have any other suggestions on which devs/roms i should check out, seeing as all this is new i might aswell get some practice in....

I do have another quick question, when i connect my fone via usb, which folder do i put the zip rom file into, is it External SD?

Anyways thanks again for your help, really appreciated! :)

EDIT* got it sorted!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Yeah ten times a day isn't an exaggeration either lol

I find what happens is I flash a rom, then a dev releases an update for another rom then I flash that, then I flash a different modem, then I find another rom, then another update and the cycle continues :D

You said you sorted it, but the rom zip file just goes in the root of your internal memory.

It's not overly important as you can find the file through cwm anyway.

As sometimes I'll download a rom through my browser and then it goes to the downloads folder.

But if I download it on my pc, I will just transfer the file to the root of my internal memory on my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz-L:
Yeah thanks again i managed to get it sorted i guess i overthink things sometimes, but i followed your guide above and now im running villainrom :)

had to do a bit more reading/asking on the backup/restore front, knowing what the diff between nandroid/titanium is etc, and how and which to use to restore.

Also you mentioned above about backing up your contacts with google, i tried to do that but couldnt seem to, how did you manage it? as i cant restore contacts from my windows pc via kies right? now that im rooted with a custom rom.

Anyways thx again for the help pal, you've been awesome! :)

how to disable light sensor for optimus 3d?
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
You mean the light sensor that controls the brightness of your screen or the light sensor that detects when you are in a call and turns off the screen?

I'm pretty sure you can disable the first one by just turning off Auto Brightness. The second one can't be disabled as far as I know.

[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Can you change the delay on the proximity sensor at all? When I move the phone away from my head it takes a good few seconds for the screen to come back on meaning it takes me about 5-6 seconds at least before I can hit the end call button.
