i personally dont find overclocking useful since I dont need that additional power. Besides, you run the risk of making your phone become less stable especially when undervolting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadernal:
I rooted and installed cognition.... now when my phone boots the loading screen says gt-9100.

Is this the rom or the kernel/root process that would have done this and how can I switch back? My jig should be here soon and I would like everything to look stock. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
thats by design. when you flashed CWM and rooted, thats what comes up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
It is from the kernel flashing to get root process. You can fix it, it is kind of convoluted and seems harder than it really is, but you will find it is not that hard once you do.

It is a kernel swapping process you can learn more following these posts

Method 1 is the one i was looking at also. But will that keep my phone setup/ settings the same and just allow me root access or will it return my phone to stock?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
I'm new to CWM and I just flashed humble gingerbread 4.2 on my phone and it worked great. Now I want to install the update through CWR or CWM (Pretty sure they're the same). I can't figure out how to get into CWR mode. What buttons do you have to press.

Thanks Brian.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
From Humble, you have two options. The easier of the two is to find Quick Boot in your app drawer and use the recovery option.

The universal method to get to recovery, regardless of what is installed, is to power down, and then once the phone is completely off, hold Home+VolUp+Power. Keep holding them and you'll end up in recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
Now when I update I just put the update file on my sd card and find through recovery mode and install it right?

I notice in the update there's two folders. Not exactly sure how to update it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
You need to put it on the SD card as a zip. Don't unpack it, just put is on as the zip and choose the "install update from zip" option and choose that file from the card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
alright i did that, it said it completed and I went back to the main menu and rebooted. It that all I have to do?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Pretty much. Depending on what you are doing, you might have to mount system prior to flashing, but for most things you don't, and it will usually tell you in the thread if you do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
Alright cool, phone is running really nice now. Much faster then the stock ROM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] --Rob--:
Hey

I'm looking for an app that can start the dock app or any app just by placing a magnet near the magnetic-field senor. (Like the droid).

I placed a normal magnet at the backcover of my arc and in "sensor test" the third value of the magnet sensor went up to 1300 (normaly not more than 30). So should work...

Anybody an idea where to get that or anyone wanna code that? :D

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] --Rob--:
Does nobody has an idea?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inteks:
i'll take a look at it....

the question is to launch the standart app for cardock

<category android:name="android.intent.category.CAR_DOCK"/>

if magnet sensor went up to 1300 ..... right ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] --Rob--:
yes, goes up to 1300, but it would work if u define the border at 300 or something like this. In normal environment it barly goes over 30...

An option to choose an installes app would be the best solution I guess.

If u can copy&paste the code to choose a diffrent app at -300 would make the phone like the droid (put at charge dock => clock or whatever; put at car dock => car app).

Just some ideas. I guess there would be a great market, if u sell the prog in the market for 1€ or 1,50€.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] --Rob--:
Anything new??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inteks:
i build it into my app setxperia because its has to be running in a service and in this project ive allready a suitable framework :cool:

here a first test version.

what it does:

if (MagneticField > 120 && mgr.getCurrentModeType() != Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_CAR ) {
mgr.enableCarMode(UiModeManager.ENABLE_CAR_MODE_GO_CAR_HOME);
}else if(MagneticField < 100 && mgr.getCurrentModeType() == Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_CAR ){
mgr.disableCarMode(UiModeManager.DISABLE_CAR_MODE_GO_HOME);
}

setXperia shows the current MagneticField in the notify bar (i.e. " ... MF:51")

for testing i installed CarDockv3 https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cwfk.ig88.carhome3 on my phone but it work with any similar soft :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inteks:
has anyone test it ? i personally have problems with krusell case because it has magnetic closeing ... :confused:

next version comes with fully cusomizable value for CarModeOn and CarModeOff and it also switch to carmode only if display is ON to overcome the case problem.

curently im testing this out, any comments on tests from you are welcome :cool:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] --Rob--:
Sorry, didn't c ur post. I'll try it out tonight then giving you feedback.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajcsessz:
Hey,

I'm also looking for something similar.

I'd like it to set a profile when detecting a magnet (to set the ring volume and the media volume to high in the car).

edit: forgot to say i use a Xperia ARC

EDIT: I don't want this post to confuse anyone... I missed a step but this worked perfect for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] attn1:
what happened when you tried to get temproot with zergrush?

was the phone in charge only mode? It needs be to write a backup file to the sdcard.

the < waiting for device > error is because the fastboot driver is not installed or there is contention with some program.

i missed a step; updated code above:

prerequisite: adb and fastboot fully working.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loudaccord:
Temproot with zergrush said that it was successful, phone is on charge only mode.

looks like fastboot doesn't seem to be working, I have it installed but I'll have to get to the bottom of this.

Any way for me to test if fastboot is working easily?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] attn1:

I had to get a replacement for my rooted DINC2, and wouldn't you know it, they sent me out one with the 0.98 bootloader. I thought all hope was lost, well, at least until revolutionary found an exploit for the 0.98. This has helped tremendously.

EDIT: Apparently, manually entering the commands worked perfectly fine... for people who are having similar issues, and wish to do it via batch, open the cmd and modify it as such, adding in sleep commands:

adb reboot bootloader

Seems to be an issue with the commands being issued before the device manages to reboot properly.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
I think you need to set fastboot to enable booting into hboot.

Also it might be easier to just pull the battery, wait a few seconds and put it back in.

Then hold the volume down + power until the hboot shows.

Chances are it's just like my Red DIncII was with hboot.98.

The downgrade thread worked great for me.

Did the phone arrive with the baggies opened?

My Dark DIncII had the battery in the phone.

My Red one just the bags were opened.

Good luck..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WhistlingDog:
Actually, I think it comes with Fastboot turned on by default. You need to uncheck Fastboot (Menu|Settings|Power) to turn it off before it will boot into HBoot with the VolumeDown + Power dance.

So, everything else working up to this above adb command ?

Are you typing this manually or copying & pasting from the original codes posted - (See post #178 a little bit earlier)

for those who try to do this manually in the line before the last when flashing rom it will not go thru. I found a space in radio---ra dio and in zip---signed. zip. These to spaces have to be removed or it will say errror.

Doing this on Windows XP/Vista or 7 logged in as administrator using OEM micro-usb cable? Fastboot OFF and microSD card in the slot?

Try using a different usb 2.0 slot? Turn down the DI2, pull the battery for 15 secs. & re-insert and restart .... please post any error messages or pop-ups on the screen when you press the ENTER key ?

Sweet I finally got to HBOOT screen, version .98 so I guess I'll be using this tool. thanks to the op for this. I'll preform the downgrade tomorrow on my girls phone and leave feedback when I'm done. I miss having an HTC myself :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Just in the unlikely case that you didn't look back a little further, post #168 on page 17 - check & compare your adb logs or on-screen messages.

I'm guessing that it could be an USB port issue, try a different one and/or micro-USB cable. Also, make sure you have the HTC drivers installed, reboot the PC and the device, disable if not uninstall all other mobile device usb drivers, watch for any VZW software running/attempting to start or install.

If the adb command ran doesn't recognize the ADR6350, it can do its part - I was ready to throw the towels in myself, until I decide to chill & relax, sip my iced latte & devoted an entire afternoon to get it to work. When it worked, only took 15 minutes on our black one, but took almost eternity on the red one after rolling back HB to .97 - patience is the key. Finally, resorted to a seldom used older XPP SP3+ with very little apps on it, and it worked like a charm in 3 minutes, and the rest was like eating fruitcake once the bells & whistles began to "sing" with the usb ports handshaking.

Good Luck !

i'm working on my wife's phone. and can't seem to rollback to 2.3.3 using 2 separate computers. everything appears to be going smoothly (i get further than the post above mine), then it reboots and is still running 2.3.4.

i unlocked her phone using the official htc unlock-- could that be a reason why i can't rollback to 2.3.3?

any help in this is greatly appreciated. thank you!

i don't know much abou htc unlock method , htc developer site states that not every thing will be unlocked , Boot.img and Kernel will still be locked

i can't seem to get the md5 to match up (using md5 check utility v2.31). i've re-downloaded, extracted the zip, and rebooted my computer and they still don't match. i suspect this is the culprit for the 99 unknown fail. anybody know why that is?

Noob questions

Question retracted, I missed quite a few posts that helped me out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
It should not take more than 5 or 10 minutes from start to finish, wait & if nothing happened after at least 6 to 8 minutes, quickly unplug & reconnect the micro-usb connector to the DI2, or at least wiggle it just a little to "re-seat" it as it might just re-establish a solid connection.

That most likely meant that the software isn't seeing or recognizing the DI2, that the HTC device drivers wasn't installed completely & loaded/running as it should, or that there are conflicts with other drivers being runned at the same time (including a set of VZW driver(s) that isn't easily "visible" as Apps running)

Uninstall all the HTC drivers, reboot & re-install, and without running these adb command, just connect and confirm that your OS recognize and load the proper drivers - look into your Device Manager for them.

Others frustrated by this have mentioned that they managed to find a different usb ports that worked, switched micro-usb cable, or by using a different PC/OS that's clean & free of the usual collection of mobile phone "gadget" tricks (i.e. it didn't like mine with Sony/Ericsson, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and both HTC WinMo and Android "tools" - even after I uninstalled most if not all of them, LOL)

Plus, don't forget to turn off anti-virus, firewall & if running, Windows Defender or related security apps - restore/turn them back on afterward with a reboot.
