My wife has purchased a Toshiba AS100 in Kuala Lumpur for me and after reading some negative reviews I feel it is going to be necessary to mod / root the device in order to get it to function properly (better). My concern is I see mods for Toshiba Folio 100 and it looks very similar to the AS100. What is the difference and will the mod work on the AS100?

I downloaded FolioModv14.zip from xda-developers but I am somewhat hesitant to try it on the AS100 in case it destroys the device.
[Folio 100 General] m32:
Just root it, in most cases everything will go good - with no problems.

Before rooting, use factory reset - my device has had some problems and factory reset was unsuccesfull - just hangs. I have give it back to seller - replacement device is just wonderfull after rooting, like ipad from my sister :) but i can do with it what I want.
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
Folio 100 is the same device as the as100, just renamed for the international (non asia?) market.
[Folio 100 General] dmorrisby:
Thanks for the clarification

Thank you for the answers, it clears it up a bit for me. So it will be safe to say that I can install the FolioMod14 on this device? I saw some slight differences in the Folio 100, like the internal memory on the AS100 at 8GB vs the 16GB in the Folio and somewhere I am sure I saw GPS in the Folio. This won't cause issues with the Mod install will it?

Exploit in update-recovery.zip

I extracted the update-recovery.zip file and my antivirus was jumping up and down after finding an exploit called Exploit.Android.Lotdoor.C in a file called 7zG.exe in the OpenRecovery\sbin\rage folder.

Is this a genuine exploit or threat?

A great fix! Thank You Dexter!

I am running CM7 on a D2 and i am experiencing pretty short battery life. I went from Liberty 2.0 rom on froyo last week, and upgraded to GB and flashed CM7.

I have barely used it much today for example. Took it off the charger at 6:30am have done nothing more than sent a few texts and browsed a website for about 10 mins. It is 10:30 and i am already at 70%

I did a proper battery stat reset this past weekend also.

(i have also been getting a lot of random force closes)

since i cannot post pics here's relevant info...

Android version - 2.3.5

Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-gca08d89

Mem Info - 214/475

Mod version - CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC0-DROID2-KANG

Build Number - GRH78C

Battery info...

Display - 42%

Phone Idle - 18%

Cell Standby - 15%

everything else is under 8%, Android OS and System at 2%

CM7 GB Battery Issues

I am having this problem as well. Ever since I rooted and installed Rev's CM7 GB build a few days ago battery life has been much worse. I tried installing Jake's Mods V13 but if it is helping it is not helping alot. Yesterday, made 2 short phone calls, sent 3-4 texts, browsed web for maybe 10 minutes total, and was on tweetdeck for maybe 15 minutes. By end of the day was down to 30% battery. Pre-root and CMY probably would have been about 60% - 70%. Here are the battery stats when plugged it in at bed time last night:

15h 16m 23s on battery

Cell Standby 55%

Phone Idle 19%

Display 13%

Voice Calls 9%

Android OS 2%

TweetDeck 2%

Has anyone figured out a solution to this? Really liking CM7 but I am afraid to play a game or something on the phone because I'm afraid I will run out of juice!
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
CM7 does have a shorter battery life than stock and some other ROMs. It's still the best ROM and it will eventually be back to better battery life. I use SetCPU and JuiceDefender.
[Droid 2 General] MOUNTAINMANOCHO:
Should I go into the CPU settings on my phone to find ways to increase my battery life? If so, which setting should I alter?
[Droid 2 General] kwyrt:
I have been using the 1Ghz/undervolt option in Jakebitesmod along with Juice Defender and it seems to be helping. Battery will usually last me all day with moderate use.
[Droid 2 General] driftr:
You might want to try SBFing back and starting from scratch. I was on Liquid 3.0 and has atrocious battery life due to the 'Idle' process and was seeing 10-15% battery life drop each hour when there was absolutely no use.

I switched to CM7 and things were much happier. Maybe 10% loss after 4 hours idle. FB app did drain the battery once but I think I backed out of it while it was loading so it was trying to load GPS or something but outside of that no battery life problems what so ever.

[General Questions and Answers] Patshad:
Hi All,

Got myself a new xperia Ray, and I want to flash the generic firmware as posted by DoomLord in the xperia mini forums. I've downloaded the last flashtool (version 0.3.0), but I cannot flash the generic firmware to my phone. The device is not supported. Only the X10 and the 17i are (Ray is 18i). Devices can be added to flashtool, but therefore the build properties file in flashtool needs to be altered; I do not know what parameters to put in that file so that it properly recognises my phone.

The reason I want to flash the generic firmware is because I want to get rid of those T-mobile logo's at startup and some apps that are for t-mobile simcards only. And to root the device eventually.

Any thoughts how to flash the generic firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] Patshad:
Seems like I got a step further; when pluggin in the phone when asked, I plug in the phone in flashmode (volume down and plug in usb), I get an error related to drivers of the phone. I have already installed pc companion and drivers for the phone were also installed. System is xp sp3 btw.

Any thoughts again?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Patshad:
Allright, i solved it. Additional drivers were needed to recognise the phone in flashtool. The phone is nice and clean now!
[General Questions and Answers] Rithina:
can share how u do it? I have already installed the ADB drivers to work with fastboot but it seems flashtools still cannot find my devices
[General Questions and Answers] jamesgary:
I don't know```
[General Questions and Answers] Patshad:
You first have to install pc companion. Pc companion installs drivers for the ray. Make sure that u have successfully communicated with the phone through the program. Thats one.

When flashing with flashtool, the phone needs to enter flashmode. Here lies the problem. When the phone enters flashmode, additional drivers are needed which werent installed by pc companion. Yiu see something with SEMCUSB and windows asks you to point to the drivers. These drivers you have to install when unlocking the bootloader and can be found at sony ericsson bootloader site (link is somewhere at xda). I needed also another driver for the phone to install which i found at xda at a step for step bootloader unlock.

So first unlock the bootloader. Then flash the rom. I will look up some links when i get home :)
[General Questions and Answers] yujin_11:
Hi

You can unlock the Ray's bootloader from this link.

Follow the instructions there.(I haven't tested it but so far that works for others)

[Nexus One General] Bexton:
Hi everybody!

Yesterday i came across S-OFF. From what i was able to find, S-OFF has two main advantages: 1.) Grant full NAND access, so you can write to /boot, /recovery and /system while in full booted mode. And secondly; allows unsigned fastboot flashing.

Now my question regards the first point; write access to all directories during full boot. Yesterday i was in need of write access to /system directory (actually just for creating a symlink). What i did - when got the "write-only permission" prompt at first try - i remounted system partition via terminal and then chmodded system directory:

/$ su
su
/# grep " /system " /proc/mounts | awk '{system("mount -o rw,remount -t "$3" "$1" "$2)}'
/# chmod -R 777 system

Afterwards i had write permissions to the system directory while i've been in full boot mode.

So my question is: If i'm not interested in unsigned fastboot flashing, nor in locking the bootloader etc, but only in having full access to all system directories - is my approach posted above giving me the same permissions, as S-OFF would do, or would S-OFF gimme any advantages?

My Phone:

*Nexus One on GRK39F Stock ROM,

*rooted (with "Superboot for Nexus One" by Madaco),

*su version 3 (by ChainsDD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828)

Many thanks in advanced!

Cheers, Stephan

Update: @Mod/Admin: Sorry for posting to the wrong section. When i was looking at the section titles before posting this, i read Q&A as FAQ; donno why. I just realized the sticked thread at top of this section, thus recognized i posted to the wrong section. If you'd be so kind to move the thread to the approciated section, rather than closing it, i'd be thankful and promise to take more care about sticking to the board rules in the future. :) Thanks and kind regards!
[Nexus One General] efrant:
I think you are mixing up a few things:

1) Nexus One's come with a partially unlockable bootloader. When you execute the "fastboot oem unlock" command, you are able to flash the /system, /boot, and /recovery partitions with unsigned images via the fastboot command. (So, essentially, you can give yourself root access once you are unlocked, and can write to the /system partition while booted normally.)

2) With S-OFF, you are able to flash ALL of the partitions of the N1 with unsigned images via fastboot, including radio, hboot, sp1custom and splash.

3) If you are rooted, you have write access to the system partition (the same as the above two).

So, to answer your question, having an unlocked bootloader, or S-OFF, or root: they all give you the same ability when it comes to the /system partition.

P.S. If you rooted with "Superboot for Nexus One" by Madaco, then you already unlocked your bootloader...
[Nexus One General] Bexton:
Hi Efrant!

Thanks for your answer, eventhough i'm even more confused now. ^^ You say

But "Root" alone, on Android, does not necessarily gives you permissions to write to system directories. As long as a partition is mounted read only, you will - regardless you have userid 0 - get a "read-only file system" error prompt when trying to write to it. Or how comes

[U][B]whoami: unknown uid 10063 :[/B][/U]
issuing
[B]$ ls /data/app[/B]
returns
[B]opendir failed, Permission denied[/B]

issuing
[B]$ cp -s -P /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox[/B]
returns
[B]cp -s -P /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox: Read-only file system[/B]

[U][B]whoami: unknown uid 0 :[/B][/U]
issuing
[B]$ su
# ls /data/app[/B]
returns directory listing
[B]namespace.apk
...[/B]

issuing
[B]$ su
# cp -s -P /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox[/B]
returns
[B]cp -s -P /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox: Read-only file system[/B]

[U][B]whoami: unknown uid 0 :[/B][/U]
but issuing
[B]$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod -R 777
# cp -s -P /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox[/B]
will finally create the symlink

For me, that doesn't look like i'm having same access to system directories whether for reading, nor for writing and that - even when logging in as userid 0 ?!

PS: And yes, you're right; i unlocked the bootloader (the very first day i bought my Nexus).
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Yes, but once you have root access, you can mount the system partition as r/w, without any other permissions/etc. All I was saying was that when you have root, you can write to the system. Of course I didn't spell it out step by step, i.e., by mounting the system as r/w, changing directory to the system, etc.

P.S. If you use a root file explorer (like Root Explorer for example, it make the process much easier).
[Nexus One General] Bexton:
Okay, i got it! Thanks!

So the bottom line: @secuflag has no effect on read and write permissions for the file system.

PS: Sometimes i'm using "root apps" (such as sysroot file explorer eg). But some things can not be done by apps. Plus, i think for a lot of tasks - if you're familar with linux - the command line is also much more comfortable and faster. But thanks for your tip (and help) anyway. ;)
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Correct (on Nexus 1s)
[Nexus One General] garrettc67:
Here is a new safe way to get S_OFF for your N1. For me the only real advantage was getting rid of the ugly padlock image during boot, and customizing the initial splash image.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270589
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Keep in mind that what you are linking to is not "true" S-OFF (i.e., setting secu_flag=0, like what you get when using an XTC clip or something similar). The radio is still S-ON.
[Nexus One General] garrettc67:
Yes, very true. But for what I wanted it's OK. I'm very lucky that this method turned up on the same day that my new XTC Clip arrived, since it fried itself when I plugged-in the battery and I was about as depressed as a geek could be :eek:

It's cheap because of the 'limited' features, no camera, no microphone, WiFi only, low storage and no video out. It's basically just a battery and a screen.

I haven't seen anything about the processor, gpu or battery life yet, (apart from the dual core reference) but since it is apparently based on the Playbook, perhaps we can expect something similar to that.

From what I have read

Based on what I was able to read and what is being posted on Google+ . . . Twitter . . . you name it, the rumor is that the device is going to run its own "custom" version of Android.

EDIT:

Even Amazon's page doesn't really mention "android" just that it's sleek and fast. My guess is that they are going to try to move away from being labeled "android" and move to just using android to further the purpose of the tablet.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

I do, however, want to get a hold of the "amazon silk" browser so I can check it out before I decide whether or not I want to get it.

My guess is that someone would have to pull the browser apk out of the image after the tablet release before I could even think of looking at it.

Oh well, just the kid in me wanting to play with new stuff HAHA
