[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstine2:
I Just recieved my Cisco Cius Tablet, Comes with this info in the about section

Model number: Cius

Android Version: 2.2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.31.6-mrst

cius=build-user@cius-build-machine#1

Build number: FRG83G.9.2.1SR1.19SEC

I would really like to root it, I haven't found anything on how to go about it and there is no section here. I have Adb installed and connecting to the device but I'm getting permission denied on just about everything. Is there a way to get root on this, Has anyone started developing on the platform? I would be happy to put in some work to get it going, at least rooted if not make a rom, but I have no idea how to get root on it.

I talked to one of the guys at cisco support about an unrelated issue but during the conversation I found out that it has an intel processor rather then an arm processor. I figure that that has alot to do with why I have been unable to get any of the android 2.2.2 root kits to work with the rageagainstthecagearm5.bin files that everyone is using on phones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If other people are interested maybe even get a development section up for the device.

Thanks

Cius will no longer be available to be sold after march 22nd this year but HW support won't end til march 22nd 2016...

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/col...90/ps11156/end_of_life_notice_c51-717226.html

looking at a forum thread at cisco.com they'll take the stance of "security" and the fact it's still being "supported", whatever that really means, when asked, kernel source or rooting... too bad wonder if anyone can bribe a cisco dev to give us the details on how to root...yeah right.

https://developer.cisco.com/web/ciu...sage_boards/message/6452457?p_p_auth=40l4IazY

For the time being, considering how much a single one of these tablet costs, doubt many devs have one, or access to one.

My company has about 3-4 of these (with the HD media, aka phone,docks), we got them for free since we made a major purchase to upgrade our old nortel phone system to them, so i'm glad we didn't have to plunk down any cash for them afterall.

I have 1 of them and am playing with it but I'm not a dev so I wouldn't even know where to begin on rooting it.....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
hey all, anyone know how to mount the phone to a car stereo, such that the external SD (ie the sd card) shows up?

I can connect the unit just fine, but it only see internal memory, and therefor no music data

any ideas?

this is a real bummer in comparison to my evo 3d, and older 4G that did this easier with dual sd mount

thanks for the help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Do you mount the USB or get the option to, like when hooked to a computer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
yes its the same method, pull down screen, choose usb etc...

the stereo only sees the SDCARD, which is internal memory

it wont access the externalsdcard...which is of course the microsd card slot

ive been searching to see if there is an app, that allows one to change the default usb directory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
works fine for me when i connect to my kenwood dnx7100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
yeah I figured it out, it was dual sd mount

on my evo it is perfect, since you dont have to do the pull down prompt

but on the epic, it does what I dont want to do, which is mount the internal sd card

so now it works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neo_hito:
sorry to bring up an old thread but im having the same problem with my galaxy s2

how did you get it to work?

is there an option to pick which card to mount?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
yeah this auto mount app works best for me

https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5qcnRzdHVkaW8uYXV0b21vdW50Il0.

dualsd mount, doesnt work for some reason on this particular phone

this is the only one that has worked for me with my kenwood

and just so you know, it mounts ONLY the sd card, for use on car audio,

it will auto mount BOTH drives, when connected to a PC, without having to use the dropdown status bar, but for some reason my kenwood and jvc will only see the sd card
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neo_hito:
I see.. well I tried that and 'multi mount sd'.

For me, both mounts the internal storage first so my pioneer headunit can only ever see that. Thing is my music are mostly on the external sd =<

Thanks for the info by the way, I'll try out some thing to change the order of the mount, there has to be a way! =P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
the internal card has a shortcut named external_sd that will let youy access your files without actually mounting the volume

unfortunately that only works when you view it from your phone, i.e its a symbolic link
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulala:
I just brought a unlocked desire z from a Ebay. The phone was locked to Bell Canada before according to the seller. Recently I try to root it and run into 3 questions:

1)Do I need to downgrade it?

The software number on my phone is 1.34.666.5. The guide point out that "firmware version higher than 1.34 have to be downgraded". Is my version consider "higher" than 1.34?

2)if I do need to downgrade, is Gold card needed for downgrade?

When I tun these two line of command : adb reboot bootloader; fastboot oem boot

The first command show me the bootloader menu with message I have s-off

The second command told me I have super cid and setting is 1111111

3) is there a way to backup my phone before root/downgrade so in case something happen I can recover back to factory condition?

So far from my understanding. In order to backup(Titanium Backup,NANDroid,and ClockworkMod...etc) require the phone to be rooted. To root my desire Z I "might" need to downgrade. And once I downgrade I lose the factory ROM ><...

So how do I extract the factory ROM out? or will I be better off just let it go and maybe I can download the same version of rom some where if I need my original version back?

Sorry if this seem like a beginner question, but I did couple of search and wasn't able to find answers to them

Version of my software:

Good starting point for rooting your phone

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Vision

Although you say the phone is unlocked (super cid)if on the the bootloader screen it tells you you have S-off that implies your phone is also rooted can you enter recovery either from the bootloader or by typing adb reboot recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulala:
yes I can vol down+power to enter bootloader...then enter recovery useing vol up+power...it give me 4 selection:

1) reboot system now

2) Apply sd card:update.zip

3) wipe data/factory reset

4) wipe cache partition...

So which one is for backup? or there is no need for backup just visit here whenever something go wrong and recovery to factory by selecting the third option (3) wipe data/factory reset ?

So do you mean my desire z is rooted already!!!? I download a program called Root Checker and it say my phone wasn't root.. and I cannot copy any file to the phone's directory except the SD card...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Ok false alarm your phone is not rooted,wondering why you have S-off(Security off) though.......

Anyway read through that link I provided, if you follow the instructions you cannot go wrong, take some time though before starting to root,also want to say DO NOT try rooting your phone with the visionary method as there is a serious danger of bricking your phone,stick to the wiki instructions and you are good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
If you have s-off it is sort of, kinda rooted.

If you have the eng hboot, you can just flash cwm recovery easily.

Otherwise, just temp-root, remount /system as rw, and push su and SuperUser to where they need to go.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulala:
Well this kind of loop back to where I got these question.. ~"~

I was flowing the wiki then it told me I need to downgrade to 1.34(RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed) if my version is 1.34 and higher(not sure if 1.34.666.5 is consider higher than 1.34)..

Then when I check out the downgrading guide the wiki redirect me to(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261) . The guide told me to backup everything before downgrading(my phone is not root how do I back up)...

The downgrading guide also mention if my INFOCID is not one of those: HTC__001 HTC__032 HTC__E11 HTC__203 HTC__Y13 HTC__102 HTC__405 HTC__304 HTC__A07 HTC__N34 HTC__J15

Then I need a gold card to downgrade(not sure if super cid need gold card)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
In the bootloader screen what version of Hboot do you have?

Looks like you are half way there,you already have superCID so no need for goldcard

Go to section 4 of the wiki and follow the steps there to complete the root
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulala:
I think it's 0.85.0005 (the wiki say I need to use vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip...so do I need to do anything about my 0.85 version?)

OK this is exactly what my bootloader screen look like:

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.0005

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-BOOT

OCT 11 2010,20:10:38

And when you say go to section 4 and follow up from there. Does this mean I can skip the whole downgrading to 1.34 part?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulala:
Think I need a bit translation of what you are saying >"<

How do I know if I have eng hboot?

And I am total lost about: temp-root, remount /system as rw, and push su and SuperUser to where they need to go.

I am doing more reading and see if I can catch to watch you are saying ~"~

The latter is supposed to be synchronized via Google, but I'd like a copy just to be sure.

Will Titanium Backup do the job?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
With unity the message app has a built in backup function, didnt spend too much time on stock so not sure if that is included,do a sms backup search in the market, smsbackup+ will back up your sms to gmail

Your contacts are automatically synced with google and ive never had a problem there.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewtjb:
The pink cloud thing your seeing is probably the Sony Ericsson logo animation thing starting the reason it looping is because linuxdx wont work with stock u need to tap the screen when you see the gingerdx logo untill clockwork mod shows up then install gingerdx from your SD card
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wc_how:
You are not install GDX yet?Then what do you use?

Custom kernels are probably not work in stock rom, because the ramdisk is based on gingerbread.

At least you must have 2.3 rom to work it, from what i know.

Flash GDX should fix your problem.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OnTiltMC:
Let me start off by saying that this is the worst experience I have ever had with a cell phone manufacturer.

I got the OTA update 2.3.6 and went with the install. I looked it up online and there was no information on it so I went ahead and installed it. After the install I had no cell service. This issue has been well documented but not before I tried to fix it.

So I tried to roll the update back to 2.3.4 and it seemed to be successful however the radio still did not work.

I was told by a Samsung rep that if I unlocked it, rooted it, and formatted ALL of the folders including the data, system, boot, cashe, and the entire sdcard then flashing a stock ROM would re-install everything including the radio files.

Well now all I have is a brick and I am stuck. I'm using CM5 as the recovery so I'm not completely dead. When I boot the phone up it says "no boot or recovery img" but I can select recovery and CM5 comes up.

I'm asking where to start... I want to get back to stock everything and lock it back up if my radio will not work so I can send it in for repairs. I think I'm screwed but I'm sure if anyone could fix it it must be on this developers site. I can't find documentation on it online and I know it must be out there because I can't be the only dumbarse to do this.

Respectfully,

Perhaps you can mount the phone as storage, copy a rom over then flash it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
Fear not. Get everything you need here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878786

You need to be in the tools folder. The command you need is

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Get a recovery.img from the development section. I personally prefer Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) Make sure you rename it to recovery.img if it has a different filename/or change the command above.

Once you have recovery on your phone you can access USB mode to copy a ROM to your phone, then flash it.

Since there will be no need to return your phone, no need for stock! So take your pick from what's available. I personally think brainmaster's MIUI is amazing.

Also, if you get it all sorted but find you still get no signal, that can be resolved by flashing the right radio for your phone. Read the radio section in the development section. It's easy. If you still experience problems, let me know.

Hi.

Got a Desire S, but very disappointed about the framerate of the recorded videos.

The frame rate is about 11fps in indoors and 22fps outdoors.

Is there any way to get a constant 30fps, 24 atleast?
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
i would like to ask the same question?

anyone?
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
When I first tried the camcorder app on my DS I found the video seemed to be rather jerky, as opposed to just low frame rate.

I noticed that the 8GB SD card that was included with my package was a fairly slow one (class 2).

Now I've changed it for a 32GB Class 4 card, I'm sure that the video seems smoother. Perhaps it's my imagination. Results may vary etc ;-)

[HTC Desire S] tele27:
Its not a software issue.. its the camera module which is a poor one! HTC used the same module which they had in desire ... Other hardware like gpu and CPU are capabale of handling 30fps but the camera module can't! :(
[HTC Desire S] cyborg47:
Any improvement using the custom roms?
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I would agree with fasty regarding the sd card class issue. The one with the phone is only class two, and therefore only 2mb/sec write speed. I have a class six. Seems smooth enough to me, however I admit I have no idea of the fps. What app are you using to determine this?

Another contributing factor could be the sd card cache size on most roms. The stock rom had something daft like 128k. You can use an app called Sd-booster (root required) and bump it up to 2048k which also helps with read/write speeds.

Let me know of your fps app, and I'll let you know what I'm getting. If its still the same with a custom rom, kernel, class 6 card and decent sd card cache then it does point towards a pony camera module.

And all digital cameras performance will suffer as light levels drop. Don't think anything can be done about that.
[HTC Desire S] cyborg47:
Thanks for the reply man..

Im using the windows property bar at the bottom of the folder in windows 7 to determine the fps.

Bought a Transcend 8gb class 10 card today, but theres no improvement in the fps at all.

All I can do now it to root the phone and try the sd-booster. I've also got this app called Screencast & recorder, says that it give smoother fps but root required :\

Will check the results and get back to you, thanks again :)
