[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
as i said before windows doesnt correctly handle the symlinks and the symlinks in the ramdisk get broken causing the device to not boot... this is because the /sbin/ueventd is symlinked to /init and if u have ramdisk with integrated recovery then ALL busybox (recovery) applets are symlinks to /sbin/recovery...

no u dont need to join kernel.sin-header

kernel.sin-kernel is the actual zImage

also u need the modified loader.sin to be packed with FTF... i am not sure if FlashTool will accept that kind of FTF (7zip packed)
[Sony Cross-Device General] CosmicDan:
Yeah all the busybox commands are symlinked and it seems cygwin's cpio doesn't handle them at all whereas apparently the native win32 port of cpio can, but I will try "porting" your pearl script to win32 another time if I feel the need.

With the -tzip parameter it's just packing to a ZIP file, the loader.sin is included in the template folder - that's the original FTF file extracted ready for replacing+repacking. I've tested rebuilding DoomKernel and FXP kernel with this batch file and they flash fine, though of course I couldn't repack the RAMDisk to a gzipped cpio under Windows so it's nothing special yet.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Idea Generator:
I'm getting permission denied error. Can some one help me ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] championswimmer:
it works perfectly fine with me for cygwin

you need to set up cygwin the way it has been suggested for setting up cyanogenmod build enviromment (that way, all dependent packages automatically get installed)

and cygwin should be installed after java is installed on a compter installing java after cygwin causes unknown bad problems :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] seljachina:
if you are on windows, you need to install perl to cygwin folder

http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads

when finish there should be "perl.exe" in "\cygwin\bin" folder.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CosmicDan:
Maybe off topic I don't know, but I wonder if any of the top X10 devs are any closer to creating custom partition layouts? Particularly taking some of that massive wasted space from /system and giving it to /data. I tried doing it but was too scared to brick my X10 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] championswimmer:
we do not really have an official unlocked bootloader....what we really have is bypass which neglects checking the kernel headers(yes the-laser's method is also essentially a bypass ... only the OEM can actually unlock bootloader and Sony has NOT done so for x10)... thus accessing partitions is still not possible.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
That's wrong... The signature is still checked by the hacked loader of the_laser...
[Sony Cross-Device General] championswimmer:
oh... ok...sorry... my ignorance :p

OFFTOPIC

what are these mtd4 and userdate partitions for.. seem like hidden partitions.... or for baseband usage?

___continuing here and not spamming the thread more ____

yes i was talking of the fourth one :p

apps log? hmm i didnt know that...other three i knew :)

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
the mtds are for:

/system

/data

/cache

and i think there is one for apps log...

MTD format is usually used for NAND based device..
[Sony Cross-Device General] CosmicDan:
....so I guess that means no :) I could have sworn it was possible while building the kernel (in cygwin or preferably linux of course) when I looked at the code a while back, but I gave up because it'd require a custom recovery image. Oh well, I've gotten used to TB-Pro "Integrate System App" filters I use to save space on /data.

Medium user

I um...I'm lost I download pearl and the file from this trend but what next? I wanna extra the system.sin from my x10 2.3.3. someone please reply. I'm using Windows Xp.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CosmicDan:
Completely different. You need to use SIN2BIN tool then extract (or mount) the img with some .img tool that can read yaffs2 filesystems. On Windows it's complicated, you are better off just flashing the stock FTF ROM then doing adb pull /system with USB Debugging.

If you don't know how to do that, you probably shouldn't be doing whatever it is you're trying to do :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] rocketero:
I have maybe a stupid question, but bear with me..

I have a boot.img is around 10MB in size.

When I use unpack_kernelsin or the method explained by iridaki and after repacking the new-boot.img the total size is only around 5.2MB .. why is that?

also that new-boot.img is not working on my tablet. the --cmdline (in ./repack_bootimg.pl) says it is: ''androidboot.hardware=qcom", that's the only parameter I inpup in --cmdline,

anyways some light on this issue is appreciated.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iridaki:
This tool you are referring tool is only to be used with Xperia 2011 devices.

It will not work on any other tablet/smartphone model.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rocketero:
who know, I found this tool: the DsiXDA's Kitchen tool and made a successful newboot.img that I could flash. but still not full support for scripts running at /system/etc/init.d at boot time.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iridaki:
You need to edit the ramdisk accordingly for that.

but I keep having this message:

"Could not find any embedded ramdisk images. Are you sure this is a full boot image?"

Am I missing somethig? :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] CtrlAltDelIrl:
You'll have to use a hex editor to suck the ramdisk out of nAa's kernel.sin.

The issue is simply the compression used in his kernel. He changed from gz to lzo compression.

Therefore this tool is no longer compatible with .32 nAa kernels.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sputnik99:
After I read somewhere, that the galaxytab 10.1 works perfectly with an apple bluetooth keyboard, I quickly bought one.

Now I found out that the galaxytab has problems with my keyboard:

I can't use two special characters from the german keyboard layout. One is @, located on "alt gr + a" key,, when running windows and located at "L" (cmd + L? ?) on my german apple bluetooth keyboard.

To cut a long story short: I read that it is a limitation of my GalaxyTab 10.1, produced by Samsung.

Does anyone know about a workaround???

Thanks

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
With the G2X as long as you get clockworkmod recovery on your phone you can flash any compatible rom. No need to root first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
And if you do want to root your existing rom, just get clockworkmod on your phone and then flash the root zip file that jboxer has posted in the development section. It issues the commands and installs su and superuser.apk for you, and sets the proper permissions for those files.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aplsux:
Yes, as long as you are going to a custom ROM. However, if you don't want the whole thing, i.e. just root - easier and quicker.

Awesome!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Notice that that zip doesn't install busybox but it can be easily installed from the Market once you have root access.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agc93:
The UOT will give you a flashable zip so you don't need to adb anything into place if you have CWM 3/4 or similar.

Also, there shouldn't be any rejigging necessary if you simply choose to upload your own system files, instead of using the ROM list.

BTW, my Tab is running Jupiter and it changed the majority of my icons perfectly well. Which ones aren't changing for you guys?

Love the UOT. Thanks Dakra!

I am from Malaysia. Just received my d2g i purchase from ebay. I managed to unlock and use local GSM network, NOT VERIZON!

i am unable to add google account. If i sign in an existing google account i have, it shows "user name and password doesn't match", i can log in fine from any pc. And im also unable to create new google account from the phone.

I had searching for weeks on a solution on this, but unable to solve it.

I did a few master reset. it wipe all data on the phone but still same issue.

attached is the image i just took after trying again. but this time it say "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server"

i wander if its control by verizon. means we must use it service in order to used the full function of the phone?

by the way, i am running on Android 2.2 Version.2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Have you tried changing the Google account password from your PC (making sure it doesn't have any non-ASCII characters like diacritical stuff &c.) and trying again with that new one?

Verizon has nothing to do with Google services.
[Droid 2 Global General] scott_lim:
Hi mate. Im using same account and password that im using on motorola defy. DEFY is singapore model which seems to be working fine. That's why i am thinking, maybe verizon did special program on all d2g to stop people like me simply getting the phone but doesn't used the services.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
This means they chose to do a “special program” for just one single D2G — yours.

I use my D2G on GSM and I have never had any issues adding my Google account.

That's positive. Meaning my setting might be wrong some where. There should be solution. Just hope some one experience same situation as me but found solution and share with me here.

and, with my phone off, I hold down the volume down button along with the power button, and the first option is "Fastboot" and it doesn't let me choose anything, and it just automatically chooses it and starts to scan my SD card and finds "PC10IMG" (from when I downgraded) and asks me if I want to update. If I choose no, it just wants to reboot and I can't choose any other options. How can I get into Clockwork mod?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
can you get into the os?! If you can you must get that file off the root of your sd! otherwise you will be stuck in a boot loop.

You can rename it anything else if you want as long as its not PC10IMG.

you have to take the PC10IMG.zip off of your SDcard before you try to boot up again. Its always going to find it and try to use that to update. Remove it and you'll be fine.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bgree15:
Guys I'm having an extremely frustrating issue. Anytime I flash a ROM, it'll work great for a little while, but then sometimes when i reboot, it'll say no signal, and then my phone thinks it's in airplane mode. I try to get out of it, but it won't. Then randomly it'll get signal, but the phone will be so slow and laggy, and then it goes back to no signal and no more lag. I've been using Infused ROM and usually that one is okay, but sometimes I've had to reflash to get it fully working. Lately I switched to SensatioN ROM using Hellraiser, and this one has given me trouble every single time. I've reflashed about 5 or 6 times, and even went back to stock. Any idea what is going on?!?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
My first guess would be a hardware defect. Try a complete return to stock (and STAY stock), including a wipe/factory reset from the Settings screen and see how it performs. If the signal is still wacky - time for warranty service.

I've noticed that I can't restore my ADW EX desktop configuration with Titanium, and I can't manually restore the backup files from my SD. Anyone know what is up with this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Steampoet:
Titanium while being able to back up system data won't back up your desktop. ADW has the option to back up your desktop setting. Just go in to the ADW Settings and you'll see an option for back up and restore. then just hit the button that says back up desktop configuration. However I'm not sure if you end up having to wipe the data completely that the back up you made would stick. I would assume that the Desktop back up from ADW would be saved as system data which you can back up with Titanium. Please someone correct me if i'm wrong. Hope that helps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
Doesn't work. I tried restoring with the built-in backup, but it wouldn't work. Titanium restores certain parts of the data for my apps, but others aren't touched. I'm guessing this may have something to do with coming from HTC to Motorola or Titanium not being fully compatible with the Bionic yet.

Edit: Titanium does backup your desktop configuration (just not your widgets). I've had a bit of experience with this. ;)

Use the ADW built in restore option. It'll restore everything, but it'll show grey boxes where your widgets were, you'll know the positions and can simply reapply the widgets from there.

That's a negative. Don't you think I would have tried that? I ended up re-doing it by hand.

[HTC EVO 3D] wakdady:
am i the only one having such slow speeds, that watching a youtube video is not possible unless wifi is enabled?

i can browse the web just fine, but anything youtube related and it falls on its face.

that and my battery lasting a mere 6 hours and i'm beginning to hate this phone. (yes, syncs are turned off, and no live wallpaper exists)
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
The only fix for this I have found is to return the phone for a refund...

Sad but very true.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Well, if you did the Proxy removing trick and you called Sprint to have a "data reset for slow data speeds" and you are positive it isn't just the coverage/local tower saturation. From the sounds of your 6-hour battery you are probably in a low signal area and tower hopping and probably even roaming more than you should. I know mine does that. Mine does all of that even though I usually get decent enough speeds for everything except youtube, which I can stream it just takes an extra 5-10 seconds to buffer.

I'm on my 3rd phone, I've done all of those tricks and they have helped greatly, but, every bit of help it gets just masks the fact that to some of us this phone has terrible signal strength and tower locking and an absurdly low roaming threshold...roaming data is so slow that it's nearly useless for anything but simple web pages.

The only solution I've been able to come up with comes out on Friday :( I did love this phone, but, I've been in denial for a while now. I wish you better luck than I had.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Sprint 3G is horrible. If you are not on Wi-Fi or 4G watching anything on youtube is impossible. I love how Sprint has the only true unlimited data, but it comes at the price of piss-poor 3G speeds.

Your lucky to get 6 hours of battery use. I can get 6 if I lower my screen brightness to almost 0, turn off gps and sync, and not make any phone calls.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Piss poor 3G speeds? I always use 3G since there is no 4G where I live, and even if I get around 1 bar, the 3G is amazing. It is incredibly fast. Also, the battery life should last about 12-15 hours with moderate (~3 hours screen on, some calls, medium data/streaming) usage. You might need to get your phone replaced.

But yeah, 3G, WiFi or 4G, the youtube buffering was always really slow on my phone and previous phones.

OP: If you have bad signal and cut in and out of roaming, that could be the battery drain problem. The Photon 4G is great with signal and should get around an extra 3 bars of signal than the Evo 3d does. (I have a friend with it and he gets 5 bars where I get around 1-3 bars) If you really need something for signal, you could sell your Evo for around 200 dollars on craigslist and get an around 200 dollar photon from craigslist.
[HTC EVO 3D] DJ1994:
Do the proxy thing. It won't speed up your data persay but for me if i have the proxy in YouTube doesn't work if I take it out it does. I've done it multiple times. It's really easy.

boom!! from my shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
Agreed. Having owned an evo (currently using), photon, and a 3d ill have to say that the reception issue was definitely the phone (3d) and NOT the network.

At work with my evo 4g and I can buffer a HQ youtube video fairly quickly with just one bar of reception. Yet on the 3D I can even buffer a non hq youtube video at ALL. even on wifi it couldn't stream a vid. Piss poor. The mopho was excellent. On par or better than my evo.

I shouldn't have to do all these tweaks to my phone to make it work AS A PHONE. that is the one of the main things on my list that MUST work out of the box.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Then you are lucky. Many of us live in areas with good sprint coverage...I always get 4 or higher bars but download speeds of 50 kps..around there. I only get 200 plus in the late hours..2 am and such. You tube lags and the rest of slow download headaches. Not everybody has good speeds like you and I am not a betting man, but I would think the majority of us get ****ty speeds. Hell, my cricket phone before I went sprint had faster speeds, but service was awful. Not flaming, just stating the truth. Sprint has ****ty speeds, period. Some of us, the majority...have much, much slower speeds then you
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
I have to agree with everyone else. I get good coverage and I'm connected to sprint's 3G network not 1x and I consistantly get below 100kbs. My phone is basically unusable without wifi connected. Once in a while I'll get like 500kbs and it feels like 4G! So Lame. It's a good thing Sprint doesn't throttle data! LMAO If they did the speeds would be like 10kbs!
