TL;DR:

Can we flash a rom without rebooting first?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ugothakd:
Uhh...you want a dual boot? I'm confused

sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ditti4:
It is possible, at least on the HTC devices, or especially threw Desire HD:

We got Ubuntu running from a boot.img and if we flash something like that into the recovery partition, simply a boot.img as recovery-system, then it should boot and maybe we can build a simple Linux from scratch for it and enable fastboot somehow to get the simple features.

And maybe we can get something more out of it.

Or we just use a small Android.

But isn't the ROM Manager a little like your idea?

You can choose device-specific ROMs, flash them, do backups, you just got to reboot.

That's the only difference to your idea, isn't it?

So, after updating to GB on her Optimus S, my wife's phone will not charge. I have searched around the interwebs and a few people have had similar issues, but most have been resolved by using the OEM charger and cable. Well, hers won't charge the phone. It is completely dead, and regardless of the charger (tried my EVO 4G OEM charger/cable, aftermarket cable, and a computer) all that happens is the backlight of the buttons blink. Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

UPDATE: After being plugged into the computer for about 15 minutes, the phone turned on and now says "Not enough charge to start, please wait". Seems to be progress, but regardless, the OEM charger did nothing. The phone sat plugged in for an hour with no visible change. :eek: So, the computer charges it, but not the OEM charger.

Anyone else seeing anything similar? :confused:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Not sure what that has to do with knowing what FW they're using, if they're rooted, bootloader unlocked or not, all of which if provided in an OP instead of a vague post like "is there a way to fix apps disappearing after switching phone off, its becoming annoying.", helps other users to help them. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSNalfar3:
If you mean after reboot some apps in the external memory disappear ( I have this problem) then you have to give the device a minute after boot without touching anything then you will notice that all your apps is back again but remmember if you went to the apps drawer immediately after the reboot the apps will diappear again and you might need to reboot again in order to see them (in short be patient) I hope this will help you :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxtrom:
just force stop the laucher (settings,applications, manage aplications, all, sony ericsson home, force stop), press the home button and your apps should be there.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEK112:
I would like to revisit this as I have an OG DROID with Chevy SS 5.6 ROM which uses the Xperia Arc Launcher. Sometimes the app drawer will just lose a bunch of my apps or it will take 5 pages of apps and spread it across 20 pages, some pages only having one app on it. I can manually resort it to alphabetical and the apps will fall in line, but some will go missing. Also, the home screen will lose my widgets however, I cannot put them back because the launcher thinks they are still there even though the space appears blank and open. It does not matter if the apps are stored locally or on the SDCARD. Any help is appreciated.

There is a rumoured new update coming out. Of you are rooted or want root please hold off as you might lose your root ability. Just a warning of friendly advice.

Edit: Dang its late. Sorry I can't spell. Glad that's not what the army paid me for. Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrisanthropic:
Yeah. I just got the phone today for my wife and it updated while it was charging before I could root it...which sucks since rooting it played a HUGE role in the decision to get this phone.

I'm guessing I could really break something if I just tried the unrevoked/alpharev/revolutionary approach regardless of the fact that I now have hboot 0.98 huh?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I don't recommend it lol. Esp if its a different hboot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trystan.snyder:
Can you fix the "knew" in the title to "new." It really hurts my brain.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrisanthropic:
****, I was afraid of that. Now I wonder if I should try to return it and try again...damnit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
Is the update going to try and force itself or will it does it have to be a manual update?

Also, if you are running a custom rom will this still effect people, or just people running stock root?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrisanthropic:
Unless things are different from my Original Droid then custom roms don't need to worry about it since most of them have OTA updates turned off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Sorry..was doing it by phone so it took a while. Thank you for your thoughtful post though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
If it is a stock based Rom without OTA removed...then yes it prob will...and you will lose root...you can remove the update service yourself with a root explorer app :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
You will want to switch to a custom for sure. Was about to go to sleep for the night. I am still running my own stock debloat. I caught the ota pop up with the countdown clock. Luckily I was able to pull battery and flash bliss real fast.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yep that's what I thought lol luckily I'm running miui. I hope I got this out on time to save some ppl...what happened to Verizon asking if you wanted to update first...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chrisanthropic:
I'm new to the Inc2, can I turn S-off somehow and then downgrade to the original hboot? Is that possible? Or is the Revolutionary method the only way to turn S-off?

For some reason the curious side of me wants to down load. Can't be that big oh a change. Right???

How long for the exploit on 2.3.4 since we already have 2.3.2 done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Skyboxer1968:
My crystal ball says it will take 3 months and 9 days to find the next exploit, and 4 months 15 days for the next patch that kills it.

It seems that one of the biggest benefits of custom roms are freedom of forced updates. I guess this is the answer to all the people concerned about getting s-on for the event of a return.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
Wow, this thing pushes through without user consent? Holy crap am I glad I'm running CM7.

Just a thought - would users who have received the update against their will have the option of flashing the previously released gingerbread RUU? I'm guessing that even if they could, they'd still be stuck with the updated hboot and therefore unable to get s-off. I'm not really sure how all that works though. Anybody smarter than me have any thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edster00:
The new OTA is pushed to your phone but it offers the option to accept, postpone or reject.

I am rooted (stock rom) and made the error of accepting. After the update my phone would not boot completely (erred with white triangle, yellow exclamation point, blue android). You can follow Conduitz's fix found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233267

NOOB Question

If I want the update and could wait for Root (have root now), how does one go about getting S-ON again? I used the alpharev method.

thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] notluK:
So how about this... say someone updates to OTA 2.3.4 which also kicks their hboot to 0.98 or whatever.

What if they run the 2.3.3 RUU file, then they flashed the 0.97 HBOOT as a compiled PG50IMG file through the bootloader. Or do flashing HBOOTS only work one way, upgrading?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Only one way bro. This is the same thing ppl went through on the last update.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] notluK:
Hey at least that's a definite answer, otherwise I'm sure I'd try it.

I understand HTC locking the new HBOOT and all, mostly because I'm sure Verizon is breathing down their neck on the issue. But even so, I really hope this is more of a temporary fix, like putting a band-aid on a water leak, especially when you consider a lot of their phones now they HELP you unlock, sacrificing your warranty of course.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] leerage:
Do you know the name of the service? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I used XTC clip and went ahead and accepted the OTA for the new radio. if you used XTC clip u CAN get the update. I think the new radio is what does the ***LOCKED***
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
if the newer hboots say ***LOCKED*** at the top that might mean the Inc 2 could get bootloader unlock sometime in the future.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
that would be awesome. I did the OTA last night since I used XTC clip and I'm perma S-OFF( as you know) but I went ahead and reflashed jcases's .98.200 hboot and no more ***LOCKED*** at the top. Let's hope for the future!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hoebag:
I heard Verizon pushing updates without notifying you is a way for them to track rooted users, since we don't take the update that is supposed to be forced, any truth to this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Joey563:
So is it confirmed for sure that you will loose root with the OTA and not just a rumor?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Try it and let us know.. it upgrades the boot loader so I wouldn't do it...we have sense 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 roms so why upgrade anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
If you used the XTC clip you are perma root so no you won't lose root. Also for everyone else I have heard that revolutionary made a feature so it doesn't change the hboot so you won't lose root either. I had the locked hboot from the update and re-flashed from 98 to 98.2 from jcase and the locked msg went away. I used XTC clip.

I'm still on the .97 bootloader. Is there anyway I can use the .98.2 (or whatever it is) bootloader and have it still unlocked? If so, what's the advantage to a newer bootloader?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
are you rooted?

.98 is the new stock ***LOCKED*** pink msg one,

.98.200 was made by jcase when xtc first came out with root a while ago as it is an engineering hboot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Yeah, I'm rooted, and running MIUI. Should I see about flashing a new bootloader? What's the benefit?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
No, and nothing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaxenroth:
There are no advantages of flashing a new bootloader. If your 97 leave it. If you want the latest up date flash a rooted version of it never take an ota. Patience is key. If you want the latest is, wait for the rooted one to drop, same goes for updating your radio, wait till the devs get it and pull it apart. Jm2c

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Skyboxer1968:
Well now here is something interesting. Both the wife and I have dinc2s. Mines beet rooted since froyo, but she's happy with the stock experience and I've left her to it. She didn't get the patch, and I wanted her on the latest radio since we are in a fringe area so I used the ota software utility to get the patch.

Apparently it was a failed install. It wiped all her data. This pissed me off because if I can do an update why can't they? I thought the update worked until I just checked her phone today and see. 97 bootloader, 622 radio, and 2.3.3.

When booting into the bootloader it finds, then rejects an update which explains the wipe without restoring her data.

I think it's time to go ahead and use revolutionary and load up a nice declared rom for her. Maybe skyraider.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JonBsbB:
This thread hasnt had activity since Sept. so i figured id ask. When i go to http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary, it says that it only works for, "HTC Droid Incredible 2 (vivow) 0.97.0000 (Gingerbread only!)"

Does that mean 2.3.3 and 2.3.4?

This requires Root Access, and a Custom Recovery.

I found this hack over in the Galaxy S II section and I got it working on the Bionic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153196

I downloaded the .zip form that post and extracted it using 7zip in Windows.

I replaced the update-binary with the one from this post:

http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-09-16/bionic_bootstrap_recovery

Then I used 7-zip to create a new compressed file with the modified contents of the original zip.

I installed Flash version 10.3.186.6 from the market and disabled automatic updates. (If Flash gets updated past that version, you'll have to find an apk for 10.3.186.6 somewhere for this to work.)

I put that on the sd-card and booted into recovery using the bionic-bootstrap application from cvpcs. and flashed the zip from recovery.

Then I installed "Script Manager" from the market, navigated to /system/etc/init.d, selected S98fixflash and checked the "run on boot" and "run as root" checkbox.

Then I rebooted, and set Dolphin HD to use Desktop as the User Agent.

Now I can view free Hulu content on the Bionic without getting the "not supported on this platform" error.

I'm attaching the file I flashed to get this working, to save other people the trouble of repackaging it.

Standard Disclaimer: This worked for me, but I'm not responsible if this causes your phone to become a useless brick, or even if it causes your phone to sleep with your spouse, kill your pets, and/or burn your house down. After all, ymmv.

Thanks to compuw22c and cvpcs.

These are different things.

Those instructions get the Hulu Plus app to run on the Bionic, which requires you to pay for the Hulu Plus service.

The instructions in the original post are for watching free content available on the regular Hulu Website without having to sign up for Hulu Plus.

So after doing the steps in the original post, you could open up the Dolphin browser on your Bionic and enter the following URL:

http://www.hulu.com/watch/279868/castle-rise

And watch the episode of Castle without being a Hulu Plus member. ;)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] willbur73:
On my Acer Iconia (honeycomb 3.2) all i had to do was replace a file using root explorer. it doesnt stick on reboot though. but it takes 2 seconds.

here is the link to the instructions
[Motorola Droid Bionic] karthakon:
That's pretty much what the zip flashable from recovery does. Only it also creates a script to copy the patched libflashplayer.so on every boot.

So you could probably make the fix permanent on your Iconia by copying the patched libflashplayer.so to /data/flash (create the directory if it doesn't exist).

Then open a text editor on a computer (NotePad for example on Windows) and create a new document.

Paste in the following:

cp /data/flash/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/

Then save it as hulufix.txt, and move it to the iconia.

Install script manager from the market, open it and navigate to hulufix.txt.

Select run at boot and run as root, and then reboot.

It should copy the file over at boot.

Just make sure not to update flash until some updates the patched libflashplayer.so for your device.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] karthakon:
Actually you could just extract the zip attached to the original post, and copy libflashplayer.so to /data/flash/

Then just create the script and use script manager as desribed in my previous post and get this working on the Bionic without bothering with booting a custom recovery.

I haven't personally tested it but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droidpirate:
I thought Hulu plus just released an update allowing playback for Bionic, X2, D3, etc...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] karthakon:
The update is for Hulu Plus members, this hack allows you to view the regular Hulu website from the browser on your bionic. without joining Hulu Plus.

It lets you view all the free Hulu content available on the PC on your Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Deliberate:
Would that work on the atrix 2.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JavaChips:
There may be a much easier way to do all this that does not require root. I JUST bought it and am going to try it out later to see how well it works. but it caught my attention in another post.

It's called Flash Video Browser Originally found on this post.

This will remove the mobile ID sent from your local browser and allow you to view full website including flash website. It is also compatible with the latest version of Flash player (Version 11)

Added bonus is it does not require root access.

Cheers,

[Motorola Droid Bionic] karthakon:
The .zip package won't work, but all you really need to do is copy libflashplayer.so located in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/ to your computer. Open it in a hex editor that can understand ascii

If you are using the most recent version of flash, there is a line in the file "AND 11".

Change it to "WIN 11"

if you are using the version referenced in the OP than it is "AND 10" and you should change it to "WIN 10"

copy the edited libflashplayer.so back to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/

and make sure the permissions are rwxr-xr-x

The fix will work until you reboot.

You can use a script to copy the file back at boot using script manager or init.d if you are using a rom that suports it.

I'll post a fixed libflashplayer.so for the current version of flash, and a script this afternoon.
