[LG Optimus 3D] cyberguru:
Hi all,

Just got a brand new unlocked/unbranded Optimus 3D. I have managed to root the phone using SuperOneClick method posted in the Dev section but looking at the info on my phone, I am way behind on f/w revisions. My phone is on Android ver 2.2.2 and Software version LGP920-V10b-JUN-16-2011 (10b I guess).

Is it safe to update my phone? Can I do it using the LG utility or do I have to follow a guide off here?

On another note, has anyone had any success converting 3D Blu-rays to play on the O3D? I did a quick Google and found one of the DVDFab apps will do it.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] otacon888:
I would try using the LG software to update first.

IMHO it is the safest.

I use DVDFAB to shrink 3D videos so they will take up less space on my phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] zwoggel:
The easiest way should be the LG Update Tool. But you will have to root again.
[LG Optimus 3D] cyberguru:
Only just occurred to me; what about a custom ROM off here? Is there a favourite/best one?
[LG Optimus 3D] to_panki:
acurateam and Thiaz and king
[LG Optimus 3D] cyberguru:
Hmm. Used the LG Util to update my phone to latest f/w and all seemed to go ok. Root was removed, but it kept all my other data, including installed apps (which included ES File Explorer and AdFree). I re-rooted the phone same way as before, and it said everything was ok and I had the Super User app back on my phone. AdFree was gone so I redownloaded it from the market but it no longer asks for SU permissions. Tried ES explorer that also used root to access \system folders and that doesnt work either.

Just rebooting now to see if it makes any difference.

...

Edit: Reboot fixed it! I'm happy.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lthy31:
Hi there, how can i return to android 2.1 on my x10 mini? i'm using gingerdx v17 and nAa kernel v4, i tried SEUS and there is no install anyway button , can someone help me? :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jujuc:
In SEUS try to update your phone and then SEUS propose you an update wich is in fact the last official version so 2.1...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lthy31:
i cant there is just an exit button i cant update..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jujuc:
Did you try with PC companion instead of SEUS.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lthy31:
Are you sure about this? Because I'm using a custom rom and kernel, is it safe?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RyanMJ:
I doubt that either SEUS or PC Companion will detect the phone on a custom kernal, and I would also say the chance is high of bricking your phone if it did try and update.

Safest way would be reload back to stock kernal and perform a repair in PC Companion update which will load back stock rom. Not sure if you need to relock your bootloader for this to work..

REMEMBER DO NOT RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER ON CUSTOM KERNAL AS THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lthy31:
Thanks I'll try that

Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500

Rooted via SuperOneClick

Current ROM I am test driving on my phone is PWGB beta version (latest v 10/2011)

red versionCWM and verified I have busybox install.

installed Astro File Manager & Dual File Manager XT & Terminal Emulator.

MY NEED FOR ANSWERS:

I have a new bootanimation.zip stored on my SD card Id like to try out.

current ROM uses bootanimation file that is located in [/system/media/bootanimation.zip]....

the [/system] folder did not have the permissions that would allow me to move the current bootanimation zip and insert my new bootanimation zip.

Looks like the /system folder permissions were set at 0755 showing via "terminal emulator"

looks like I was successfull at changing the folder permissions to 0777 via

su[ENTER]mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system[ENTER]

chmod 0777 /system[ENTER]

but in order to get my new bootanin.. zip to transfer over to new location from my sdcard, went to move it with the [-i] option and TE displays [failled -Cross -linked Device] error message....

I am at a loss at this point to get the project done...

YES I AM A NOOB... I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU GUYS... THANKS IN ADVANCE for your answers...,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonbloom:
This is what i do when i want to change my boot animation.

First of all, go to the market and install "Root Explorer".

Now put the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card. (I personally use DropBox to download it and store it on my SD card).

Go into Root Explorer, and into the /system/media/ folder and click the little "Mount R/W" button at the top of the app (this changes the permissions, allowing you to copy/move and add files to the system partition), and change the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimationold.zip (simple way of backing it up, in case anything goes wrong, or you simply wanna switch back).

Now go to your SD card (still in root explorer) and copy the new bootanimation.zip, go back into the /system/media/ folder and simply paste it.

Click on the new bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to

User: X X -

Group: X - -

Others: X - -

(Where "X" is permission granted, and "-" is no permission)

Press Ok, and click the "Mount R/O" button in the top of the app, and exit Root Explorer. All done.

Now reboot your device and see the glorious new bootanimation (:

PS: If there is anything wrong with the bootanimation.zip, it will simply show a black screen after the initial splash screen. So simply wait, and let your device boot like normal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zash1:
did not work...

I managed to rename the old boot animation zip and I managed to place the new bootanimation.zip into the same folder.... /system/media/bootani.....

I rebooted the phone but still the OLD boot anima remains and active. the NEW bootanimation file is indeed there but the phone does not act like it.

I went to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and reboot....nada still no new boot animation.

I took on this small project of changing my boot animation because it looked to be so simple. I got the new boot animation file from a thread of a collection of boot animations and the instructions said to just place on SDcard and install via CWM....needless to say that did not work, so the journey went to where I am now....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SCHUMI_4EVER:
I'm pretty sure this sort of request is against the forum rules but in case it's not I'll just say to check your directories.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] radivanna:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SCHUMI_4EVER:
Well I feel your request is kind of against the forum rules after reviewing them so all I can say is that this isn't the place to ask that question and instead you should be asking wherever you got the file from.

Basically if you don't obtain things the legit way then it's your own problem I'm afraid and has no business being on a legal forum.

[Xperia Arc General] exkaizen:
I've managed to flash CM7.1 with out having any issue... (seems there's battery drain... but not confirm yet)

The way I did from unlocking bootloader till flash CM7.1:

- Flash using flash tool to LT15i 4.0.A.2.368 Generic Global

- Unlock Bootloader

- Extract the boot.img from the CyanogenMod update.zip and copy it to the same folder as fastboot (the /tools folder within the Android SDK folder).

- Disconnect the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc from the computer and power it off.

- Download CM7.1

- Unzip it and copy all the zip file frm the 7z you've downloaded into your microSD

- Press & hold the Menu button while connecting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc to the computer.

- On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img

fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

- Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side Volume Rocker to move around, & the Power button to select.

- Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.

- Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.

- Select Install zip from sdcard.

- Select Choose zip from sdcard.

- Install the CM7.

- Install Google Apps.

- reboot.

NOTE: IF YOUR CONTACT IS IN SYNCML/SONY ERICSSON SYNC, PLEASE COPY YOUR CONTACT TO GOOGLE BY PERFORMING BELOW STEP:

- Go to Contact

- Setting > Backup Contact > choose memory

- Setting > Import Contact > choose gmail account

- Once you have successfully installed CM7.1, it will autosync the contact from gmail contact to your phone one you have setup the google account.

The apps can be downloaded. It gives error everytime, but press RETRY a couple of times and you will be able to install the app.

I downloaded the Dropbox and installed many apps from there.

The apps which are not supported in the above MARKET (its old version of market), failed to open (like Glow Hockey Pro failed but Air Hockey was

installed successfully).

Apparently this device is HTC MAGIC or HERO. The android vrsion running is 2.3.4 but all the wallpapers are from 1.5. It doesnt support Flash, and doesnt allow

advanced apps to run.

Also I tried to update MARKET but it failed to install.

THX!

Thank you for this thread! :)

First of all, I want to say thank you to FreeXperia team and Cyanogenmod! :)

This release is amazing! :) Yesterday, I have unlocked the bootloader and install CM7 to my Arc. Followed the guide step by step. And EVERY things are working perfectly. Read about some post in development section about "bugs". I would like to say everyone -who hasn't got gsm signal, vibration, etc- FOLLOW THE GUIDE! :)

This is the perfect way, I think:

1. Install 4.0.A.2.368 with flashtool(this is MUST!!!)

2. copy the update and gapps zip to sdcard

3. enter fastboot mode on phone(indicated by blue led)

4. open CMD(with administrator permission)

5. Flash the cm kernel( fastboot flash boot boot.img)

6. enter cwm recovery(press several times the volume down key during boot)

7. choose apply update from sdcard and select rom

8. choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS

9. wipe device

10. reboot

Maybe it will help for beginners like me. :)
