[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
What is the .0 dlpkgfile? .9 typo?

Usually, you change the name to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it into the root directory of your sdcard. Windows might bork the name and add an extra .zip, so check it on your tablet before flashing it. Then boot into recovery and watch the magic.

I've had mixed luck flashing OTAs on systems that were reverted to stock. It might be operator error.

Not sure what the .0 bit is, but the OTAs are specific for going from one rom version to another. In otherwords, the recent OTA won't go from 8.2.3.9 to 8.6.5.9 since the patches are for 8.6.5.6.

I have read and searched and tried different methods posted, but I keep making small mistakes which seem to have made my phone unrootable. I have a new major problem. My roomate turned on ota.

When I remove battery ,put it back and hold down vol. and power, I now see LOCKED...

I installed twrp and get the nandroid menu I backed up system and the other two things that were allready checked.Titanium backup, and busy box say I'm not rooted. My phone says Locked, but also S-off, if I go into recovery I get the twrp menu, which all I did with was use the backup option.Did the OTA to 2.08.651.2 totally screw me. How can it be locked but s-off at the same time? Can I still root this phone? I tried using twrp to install the latest superuser zip (Su 2.3.6.3 efgh signed.zip. I get a message saying...signature verification failed. If I uncheck(zip signature verification in twrp) I get:

And now for the big question is there anyway to root this phone after all this.

I'm hoping to get rid of alot of bloatware,try wireless hotspot,and if possible raise the speakers volume.

Please help if possible, thanks in advance and also thanks to all at revolutionary and XDA for taking the time and using your skills to help so many.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
so let me get this right you have s-off but no root and you are on 2.3.4?
[HTC EVO 3D] 1107963:
Thsts because you don't have superuser.. what I did to fix this issue was to download rom manager and install recovery with it and than flash a custom rom if you have s-off you have root.. but without superuser app install and busybox I believe it will say that your are not rooted... Follow this steps and see what happen..

1- Since you have s-off download rom manager and install recovery.

2- once you have recovery take off fast boot (cuz that didn't let me go into hboot ulin mybcase)

3- power off device and go into hboot and than recovery to make a nandroid (backup of your system)

Once done clear everything and install a rom.. I personally got Clean Rom 2.1 running without problems..

After you do that all those app that say you are not rooted would work... If you have more questions pm me and I may be able to help you!!

Hi Developer's,

It's really great to see a lot of great roms for Samsung Galaxy Ace releasing day by day.....Why don't you guys work together and bring up an AOSP rom for SGA....Please try concentrating on developing an AOSP rom...

THANKS
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Somebody did it but decided not to share because the forum is full of thieves who take others' work and change a little to release it as their own.

He mentioned that he's got ASOP working with a week standby battery life. Don't know if it's true but I believe it's possible. But now we need a developer to do this, not just rom cookers. Still it seems like nobody is interested.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
ASOP stands for ? (I'm considered quite a new use LOL)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
It's supposed to be AOSP sorry. It's android open source project. Such roms have no bloatware nor brand additions. The rom package can be as small as 40 mb. But integrating the functions like touchscreen and lights and connectivity may be a problem so we need somebody willing to compile!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Wow that's a small package O.o

That's the only advantage ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mundixx:
with AOSP, we'll have a pure google phone :D no touchwiz :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Small, but also extremely lightweight so I presume it'll be fast. With that as base custom roms should be better and faster.

If sod is really a firmware bug both AOSP and Cyanogenmod should stomp it off...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] skynet28:
AOSP is android in its purest form without samsung's desecration. It is how android was meant to be. It is a base for ROMs like MIUI in many cases.	Besides one can use the latest android sources(android 2.3.5) or the older stable sources to build it.

But building it is not easy. The android source code itself is like some 2 GB. Compiling and integrating the source code into a device is like building something from scratch. It would take a lot of time,effort and patience to build an AOSP rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Wow.....THAT IS AWESOME !

Unfortunately I know nothing about code , otherwise I would've worked on it . LOL
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Though what i've heard of is that miui was based on cyanogenmod, which was also built from scratch. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
I have Ubuntu....but I'm a fail at programming XD HAHAHAHA

Anyone wanna make an AOSP ROM with me ? :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] skynet28:
Of course both cyanogenmod and aosp have to be built from scratch. Cyanogenmod,pure AOSP and MIUI are all based on Original AOSP source code and so have the maximum speed and utilize the hardware to its fullest. This is unlike samsung stock which has incorporated some closed source code with the open source one which limits its development.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] fla.sh:
...and all AOSP ROM should have no SOD issue :D

I guess you are using ubuntu..

Go to a terminal,connect the Galaxy ace via usb and type

$ lsusb

This will list various bus devices..Find Samsung electronics...mine is something like this...yours should be something like this-

Bus 002 Device 009: ID 04e8:689e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

Here "04e8" is vendor id and "689e" is product id.

Type in terminal-

$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

In the blank file type

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="689e", MODE="0666", OWNER=""

Save the file and type

$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Would they deny you service? Or put a note on your account stating your phone has been rooted and to void your warranties?

I get this error whenever I try to go into Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.8

I don't know if I'm doing it right because I'm new to the Droid Incredible rooting and hacking (moved here from Droid 2).. So far I got this to boot into CWMR:

HBoot -> Recovery

And then I get to the picture of a phone with a red triangle and a ! inside of it and I assume I use a specific button pattern like the Droid 2's X and Search button so I pressed the power/up/down buttons and then it says "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" and it goes into Android System recovery <3e> which I know isn't CWM recovery...

Can anyone help this poor Droid Incredible noob boot into Clockworkmod Recovery? Thank you for your help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
It doesn't sound like you have a custom recovery. Use rom manager to flash clockworkmod or head to www.dougpiston.com and grab a recovery there. 3.0.0.7 is recommended for AMOLED screens, 3.0.0.8 for SLCD. The files from dougpiston.com are flashed in hboot, I think it's easy with rom manager too but idk, I don't use it.

Do you see Superuser on your phone? Doesn't sound like the one click was successful, did you use a Mac? The one click was broken earlier for Macs, seems to work now though.

I would manually type the root method into adb, then use the one click app to automatically push su and stuff to the phone. That seemed to work really well for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] militant:
Thanks for both of your suggestions. For whatever reason, doing a second reboot on the phone seemed to work. I noticed SU was indeed installed, but TB wasn't finding root. After the 2nd reboot poof TB found root and all is well. Admin can close/lock this thread or I guess keep it open if others happen to have issues with One-Click to consolidate some threads. From what I've been reading one click is damn near bulletproof though.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gamer_Girl:
I was able to cancel my contract for the View I purchased in July with no ETF :D

Courtesy of SlickDeals.net:

Cancel your Sprint contract with no ETF (9/9/11-10/9/11) **Live now**

Sprint had stated that they are increasing their administrative fee to $1.50/line. This is considered a change in the terms of service and will allow you 30 days from the date it's put into effect to cancel your contract without penalty.

This notice should be on your latest bill...

And per their terms and conditions.....

There have been times where people have called in to cancel and have been given the run around from uninformed Sprint reps. Ask to speak to someone in retentions....RETENTIONS ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! After all it's their job to keep you.

Good luck!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vipfreak:
Could I get a view with contract then call retentions and cancel it with this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TomXP411:
In the past, when other carriers raised their administrative fees, the carriers just opted to waive the fee for the duration of the contract. Sprint's customer agreement actually says this: "Sprint Surcharges are not taxes or gov't-required charges and are subject to change."

Since you agreed to that, then the material change clause in the contract doesn't apply here.

If anyone does try this, please let us know. I'd love to cancel my crappy Sprint service and get an LTE tablet on Verizon.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vipfreak:
Wanna sell me your View then?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GAMERG1RL:
It worked for me, I told them exactly what is written above. I bought my tablet in July. They are changing the terms and conditions too.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zanthexter:
One T&C change is that in addition to modifying your device, they now specificly ban rooting.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] VonLaserface:
There's also a mandatory arbitration clause to prevent potential class-action lawsuits, along with a few other bits of legal.

Zan, where did you see the root policy in the new T&Cs? I'm reading it over on the web and I'm not finding that section.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zanthexter:
"Our Right To Suspend Or Terminate Services", section (i). They added the words "; (for example, rooting the device);"

So it now reads, "(i) modifying a Device from its manufacturer specifications; (for example, rooting the device); " (before it stopped at specifications)

I tried cancelling based on that reason today, the supervisor told me that there was NOTHING they would let you cancel for in the new contract. That of COURSE they would never boot ME for that reason, and that if they did, it'd be ETF free. Except that a few paragraphs above it says that if they boot you for "good reason", you'd be charged the fee. Since they felt that rooting was enough of an issue to add it to the contract, seems that'd be a good reason. He also said that since the possible ETF didn't CURRENTLY affect me, it didn't count. After almost 2 hours he finally wore me down to the point that I just gave up. I'll try again tomorrow.

Funny thing is...I wanted to cancel JUST the service for the View, and just use it with a TMobile portable hotspot. Monthly fee would be about the same, and the TMobile device (so far) seems to get 4G speeds at more indoor locations for me. Now I'm mad enough at them to consider cancelling everything. I'm going to be trying out both a Tmobile hotspot and a phone this week, to see what coverage is like.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frh1:
Today being the 10/9/11, I have run out of time to procrastinate. I called Sprint's Retention Department and was told there is no chance of getting out of the contract on my tablet over the $1.50 administrative fee. I was told asking for a supervisor or calling back 25 times until I got a person who would be cooperative might have worked 3 or 4 weeks ago, but not now.

I was also told that I would have to contact Sprint's Legal Department on Monday if I wanted to try to get out of my contract based on changes to the arbitration agreement and/or the ban on rooting.

In the meantime, I intend to buy a Verizon 4G LTE MiFi device this afternoon because I am totally fed-up with Sprint's slow 3G and lack of 4G towers.
