you can root a stock rom... then install apk installer and titanium or another backup. or even flash a ferakernel boot cwm and backup the apps. then just flash the rom and go. all inside of 1 version of flashtools.i appreciate the video. it helps the people who are really slowwwww and need to hit pause every 30 seconds :P but be aware there is a faster and equally as simple way now

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

use the feralabs rom.

found here : http://feralab.ru/

it should be easy. PM me if you need help and ill walk ya through it.. actually ill do it now since i hit a snag. dont use the zip for kernel. ignore what it says and get the UL ferakernel 15.1.ftf file. and get the zip for the 2.3.9 v30 rom. put the zip for the rom on your sd. download flashtools, i used x10 flashtools 0.2.4. then simply use flashtools to flash the ferakernel ftf file. reboot. you will notice that if you really want you can still boot your stock rom with this fera kernel. however no need. as you reboot after installing the new kernel keep hitting the back button. it will bring you to recovery now. from there navigate using the up down arrows to install from sd card. not the update.zip option the actual choose your own one. navigate to the zip for the rom and install it. it formats everything. after hit back and wipe the cache to be safe. DO NOT FORMAT, only wipe the cache. reboot. and you will have feralabs 2.3.9 rom. the snag i mentioned above btw was when i tried the zip for unlocked bootloader from xrecovery it couldnt install the kernel. most likely because i was using it while in recovery. but the ftf worked fine.

and always remember. if ya screw up and cant get it going. the 2.1 or 2.3 STOCK GENERIC ROM, will always save you with flashtool and will work. i use 2.1 when i need to start from scratch. less lag. PM me if ya need help

oh I have been encountering a problem!!

Every time i try and flash a new rom through recovery i get this error. Anyone know any solutions?

E: Can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /devblock/mmcblk0)

(no such file or directory)

E: can't mount SDCARD.update.zip

This has happened every time I try to install a custom ROM , I have changed many sdcards due to this , and have found that all the SDcard work on every other device , but when I try to access it through the recovery ( xrecovery 0.3 ) it shows this error.

My device is rooted and busybox is installed ( via flashtool , doomlords method maybe )

update request

Hello,

I tried to follow the videos as close as possible, but still encountered problems.

For me it looks, like some of the information is not really up to date, as which tools to use. eg flashtool in the video looks like 0.2.9 but som 0.9.13 is out.

Anyhow, when I try to flash Achotjans CM10, all looks fine until I start the 'flash custom zip' from xRecovery.

This even looks fine, but after a reboot, the phone is stuck at the white sony ericsson text.

When connected to the computer and NOT switched on I get a nice colored battery anomation, but still the phone does not start.

Does anybody has an idea what can be wrong?

Alexej
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
You probably forgot to do some proper wiping.. Since you got into recovery you have managed to flash it, so it's not a flash tool thing

but now when i do it it successfully goes through and does it with no errors and is still in the boot cycle

any ides?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Need more details and logs to troubleshoot.

1. At which screen does the boot loop occur? There are 3 of them:

a) the VS birds (boot bitmap)

b) the ANDROID logo (or plain white letters) which appears after that (/initlogo.rle)

c) the boot animation (bootanimation.zip)

Hanging at each stage is indicative of different sorts of problems.

2. If you don't care about losing your data, you can just boot into CWM, then repartition the internal SD card and then do a "wipe data/factory reset".

3. If you want to preserve your data then we'll have to look at the Android system logs using adb.

Everybody knows some interesting stuff that nobody really cares about, or is completely useless information.

Lets collect it all here, and make the most interesting, useless thread ever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The real name of "the" Bill Gates is William Henry Gates III. Nowadays he is known as Bill Gates (III). By converting the letters of his current name to the ASCII-values and adding his (III), you get the following:

B 66 I 73 L 76 L 76 G 71 A 65 T 84 E 69 S 83 I 1 I 1 I 1 -------------- 666 !!!

Some might ask, "How did Bill Gates get so powerful?" Coincidence? Or just the beginning of mankind's ultimate and total enslavement??? Before you decide, consider the following:

M S - D O S 6 . 3 1

77+83+45+68+79+83+32+54+46+50+49 = 666

W I N D O W S 9 5

87+73+78+68+79+87+83+57+53+1 = 666

Yes, I copy & pasted the Bill Gates stuff from somewhere else, and yes I know I spelled trivial wrong.

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
in the 4EXT Recovery thread there are some attachements (try the 2.0.1 OneClick one) Make sure that your device is detected by adb and run the runme file on your computer
[HTC Desire S] Rabarbar:
ADB does not seem to work properly anymore - it does not detect the phone at all:

List of devices attached

Although fastboot seem to be reporting correctly:

SH188TJ01555 fastboot

Does it make any difference if I use fastboot instead of adb? (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).

I also have the RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1 exe. Should I maybe try that as well?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
1) if your hboot version is Revolutionary 6.xx.xxxx RUU will not work

2) if not but your phone is branded search for the appropriate RUU

3) if 1 and 2 are not your case make sure that you are in bootloader (hboot) in FASBOOT USB mode and start RUU on your computer

if 3) is not working then give some info about 1 and 2 and we will see what comes next :)

RUU detects my image on the phone as 1.47.61.1 when I put it in fastboot usb.

So coming back to 4EXT Recovery - should I try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to install it?

as for the status 1 error - I have tried factory reset but that just froze the phone.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sorry man you are "Orange UK" branded. I cannot help you further. From my experience the branded RUU components are slightly different (but I do not know the differences), so cannot provide solution.

For me you have the following options:

1) go to a repair centre

2) find RUU_Orange_UK_1.47.61.1 on the web and flash it, but even if you do succeed you will still have the Revolutionary hboot 6.xx.xxxx (but then you will be able to overwrite it via adb)

3) try to flash 4EXT Recovery from fastboot and repair your partitions

4) there is another option but it requires adb shell that you do not have currently (but you should have while in Recovery - check this)
[HTC Desire S] Rabarbar:
Hi Guys,

So I had to pull the battery. When I started it the phone got stuck on bootlogo.

So I tried volum down+power to try and flash a rom from within recovery. Thats when I started to get these error

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

when I try to format /system I get "Error formating system"

when I try to format /data I get "Error formating data"

and so on and so forth

I use ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0

I have tried to flash 4EXT but all I get is error.

I have tried ADB, but it won't find the device. (might be something wrong with my ADB, since it won't find my Sony Tables S nor Sony Xperia Arc S)

When I try to flash a new rom from within CWM I get the following error.

E: Error in /sdcard/CoreDroid_Desire_S_GB_2.3.3_v1.3_RV.zip (status 1)

Just to point out. This CoreDroid used to work before.

[HTC Sensation] xotox83:
Hi all,

I was looking for a way of unlocking apps within the market which are not available to install. These are apps I already bought. There are some 'How To's' like installing market enabler and editing the build.prop.

First the way with market enabler doesn't work. For example Fancy Widget Pro says me that it is not available. I've already installed old versions of the market, same problem. Which every version I have tested the market enabler --> :'(

Next step was to find what I have to edit within the build.prop file. I could find something with changing the ro.product.model string ... but what do I have to type in exactly? I could only find a notice of changing the region of my phone / provider!? o.O

It makes me sad because there are nearly more than 10 apos I can't use anymore.

Could someone help me to solve that please?

UPDATE: It seems that only Sense 3.5 ROMs are affected but I don't really know. I had the same problem with RCMix 3D and Sensation HD.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Facts:

HTC Sensation with InsertCoin 3.3.3 (rooted)

Market Version 3.2.0

Provider o2 - Germany

ro.product.model=HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] xotox83:
SOLVED

Hey guys.

I could find it. I've heard something about the region within this ROM. I've used the root explorer and I could find the following string

within the build.prop file (/system):

"ro.product.locale.region="

For Germany I had to type in "DE".

With the complete string "ro.product.locale.region=DE" and a reboot I can now use all the apps I bought before and which were not available.

I could find this problem within all Sense 3.5 ROMs I tested.

Now I'm glad :)

Thanks

I'm facing an issue that I've been able to narrow down to this :

- I install stock JVT (odin with re-partition)

-> no issues

- I then install Semaphore 1.8.0 kernel using odin

-> no issues

- I install and run ext4 1.3 from cf-root

-> install seems ok, I launch it, no issue, tell it to conver to ext4, the process starts, the phone reboots, the conversion processe takes a minute or two and the phones reboot.

-> at first, all seems ok, the phone operates as i should, BUT it looks like I've lost root :

- semaphore apps cannot be run because of permission issues

- same goes for ext4, cwm,...

I've tried to reflash semaphore in a hope for a fix, but it did not help.

Any guess ?

Thanks in advance, jc
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
the ext4 tool has several different versions: step 1 is to use a different version. The tool itself can by a bit buggy.

You can also look at other ways to convert your file system using another kernel.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3d_jc:
Yes, I'm using ext app 1.3.

The first time I run it, jus after semaphore install, it says my files are rfs.

I launch the conversion process, it reboots as normal, does the conversion, phone seems ok, but you cannot relaunch it to check because it wont recognize the kernel and fail (I believe it is permission issues, as my phone seem to have lost it's root in the process).

Good idea about trying another kernel jus for the ext4 migration, now I need o find one that does not leave anything behind when I move back to Semephore

jc
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
Yeah, You can use chainfires kernel to get root back and convert file systems to ext4.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3d_jc:
yes, but I'm wondering if the issue is not somewhere else. I believe I might not have enough space on /system to do the conversion.

What is the required free space ? Arround 6 Mb ?

jc
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3d_jc:
Yes, that was the issue, not enough space on /system, which made the convert fail, and all my problems where comming from that.
