what if my phone is rooted then i have backup of my stock rom. does my stock rom receives ota update? what do you think so?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iluvpancak3s:
You should receive an OTA if you restore the stock image and one is available.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel719:
Would you need the stock recovery if you do receive the ota?

Rooting is required to Install ICS..?

Hi.

Can I install ICS without rooting my phone...? My phone is unlocked...

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iluvpancak3s:
You will NOT receive an OTA update unless you're running Android on a stock unrooted device. The only way you will run Ice Cream Sandwich is if you find an ICS ROM but most of them are in alpha stages, meaning not suitable for daily use.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
I literally ROFL'ed
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
You'll receive the OTA on a stock rooted rom as well, just like every other OTA.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Unlikely. Most OTAs do not do an assert on recovery and flash without any issue with CWM. If you've modified anything it does assert though it will fail.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
It won't install though so you still won't be able to OTA ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icecoldmeat:
A few weeks after the release of the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Why wouldn't it? Every other OTA has had no problem installing through CWM on a rooted stock system. Unless this OTA decides to assert recovery for some reason (the only reason it would fail as it would then be trying to patch recovery).

Trying to create a nandroid backup in cement v4... (running uckj3, with boog's kj3 kernel) and every time i boot into recovery and perform a backup it gets stuck at "backup sd-ext" kinda confused as to why this is happening, also can't get the kj3 extended power menu to work, flashed the zip maybe 5 times, cleared the cache/dalvik cache and nothing, any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The nandroid backup is not yet working in the Gingerbread Roms.

The extended power menu is for Deodexed Roms only.

Hope this info proves helpful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjp419:
update

Okay, so I was thinking about why it wasn't working and went to my clockworkmod folder on the SD and saw that the files were pretty large in size, all totally over 4 FBI, so i deleted some miscellaneous files to free up some additional space and tried to run cement backup again... still took a while and did think it got stuck again, but it actually finished..could i safely assume that it worked or should i not trust the files? Also, the more i think about it, do i really need a Nan backup? Meaning, if anything goes wrong with my phone i can always reflash stock and use titanium backup to restore my apps...any thoughts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Like I said before, the Nandroid Backup does not work in the Gingerbread world. It may look like it is backing up but the restore part won't happen. If u try u may soft brick.

And yes, the fail safe is that you could always return to a Gingerbread stock of your choice and use Titanium Backup to restore your stuff.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
nandroid works on gingerbread, just not I897 kernels. I9000 works fine.

although i don't use them personally.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize that about the i9000 because I am always on i897. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
It's amazing what is being accomplished on captivate kernels, reverse engineering and building "blind" but nothing beats having source code to work with, which is why the I9000 nandroid works.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjp419:
So how can I tell if I'm running an I897 or I9000? Currently using UCKJ3 with boogs kernel and just flashed the samurai kernel
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
that is I897.

I897 firmwares usually start with a K

I9000 usualy a J

it will also usually say in the op of the thread...
[HTC Desire S] kaminari84:
hi guys i've a question for you: my Desire S is s-off, root but still with stock rom (and 4Ext recovery)...i know that i cannot do the OTA update so i have to choose 2 ways:

1) downgrade to s-on with hboot 0.98 and 1.28 RUU stock rom, then do the ota updates

2) flashing the rom 2.10 with RUU without downgrade

here is my doubt: if i flash now the RUU 2.10, the update will succeed but the device will turn back to s-on without root or the device will result blocked as doing the OTA update?

and when it will be available RUU 2.10 prerooted? i could use the RUU with the device S-off, maintaining root?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Why apply the update?

Stay well clear of it, as it will just limit your devices future functionality and remove future options that are currently open to you, if you want the update then supply a custom that contains it.

Never apply ota updates once rooted

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

Ok, not really. You can still go back into recovery (uses modified hellraiser kernel) and do whatever. Nandroid, flash something else, you know, the normal stuff.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanFabbro:
ok so ive been messing with the partitions of the phone for a little while messing things up quite a bit (supprized i havent bricked yet lol)

so the screen shot is the default way the partitions are set.

i've tried deleting partition 2 & 3 using

rm 2
rm 3

then i try to make the partitions like

mkpartfs primary ext4 538 5638 userdata
mkpartfs primary fat32 5638 15.9GB media

i get errors and then my storage isnt accessable so i re root with one click and try agian.

what im trying to do is make internal storage around 5GBs

can anyone help me out with this?

it has to be possible i've read that the whole 16gbs of the phone is all the same chip so it has to be possible to partition it differentlly and i think #1 is the like were CWM is so i dont want to risk deleting that partition without knowing exactally what im doing.

any help would be appreciated

links tips anything

thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
I don't know if it's possible but it would be really interesting if it would.

I'm having issues replicating your situation which makes it hard to help you profoundly, which errors are you getting?

And, wouldn't it be better to use mkpart instead of mkpartfs?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanFabbro:
well im new to SDK and tools like this is the first thing ive tried with it im not familliar with all the commands and stuff. but im about to mess with some more stuff and ill try your suggestion

i may be new to android but im not new to computers, i learn quickly and this is the first thing i need to get going before i move forward

were can i get commands and stuff for trying this

facts i know -

the whole 16 gb's of the phones memory is 1 chip, partitioned (by default into 3 partitions)

though not specifically specified -

1. system (i assume recovery and stuff thats not safe to mess with)

2. internal memory (app contacts ect..)

3. external memory (sd card)

since its all one 16gb chip it is possible to re-partition it IE

without messing with option 1

say combine 2 & 3 or make 2 (internal) bigger and 3 (sdcard) smaller

i just need to learn the proper commands and once i have figured this out i will share

the reason i want this -

being able to have say 5 gbs of internal storage, will ensure i will never run out of space for apps games and what not that leave aprox. 10 gbs left for sd card

wich is MORE then enough for my music pictures docs and whatnot

and thus doing this i wouldnt have to move apps to sd with say apps 2 sd or anything and it would leave my external storage cleaner not putting a bunch of misc folders on it

this is getting pretty long so ill wrap it up for now
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanFabbro:
these are the only 2 things remotely close to what im trying to do

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

&

http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/09/28/how-to-partition-your-androids-sd-card-to-install-apps-on-it/

in simple easy to understand terms what im trying to accomplish is

(refer to pic in 1st post)

1. delete 2 and 3

2. remake 2 so its along the lines of

2 538MB 5868MB ????MB ext4 userdata

3. and 3 like...

3 5868MB 15.9GB 10??GB fat32 media

so i need to delete ext4 userdata and fat32 media and re create them with my own defined storage

abd messed up with the sdk update so im done for the night hurting my head trying to get this working so ill be back on it tomorrow, please any help or refrence would be appreciated
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Alright so after a few hours of trying I managed to resize all the partitions using Parted. However, it seems that either Android is recreating the partitions or that the internal memory values aren't being read correctly in Android itself.

Know that the first partition contains your system files (ROM, kernel). The second partitions is the /data folder which is basically what is removed when you do a factory reset.

The parted output (after several commando's) is the following (PS: I would've resized my pictures if it wasn't 5AM, sorry):

Unfortunately my Android shows this:

And after a reboot, parted does this:

So now basically I'm not sure if my internal memory has been altered to 2GB and that the Android readings are wrong, or that Android has a safe mechanism and reverts these changes after reboot. Someone with more insight needs to answer that question. I'm leaning towards the latter, unfortunately. Maybe there's a flag somewhere that has be changed (if it were that simple).

Tips to you; make sure you are in your recovery mode when using parted, otherwise you won't be able to access the partitions.

Use (in parted)

resize 3 2612MB 15.9GB - to resize your third partition and shrink it with 1GB

rm 2 - to remove secondary partition (parted can't access ext4)

mkpartfs 2 primary ext2 538 2612 - to make the secondary partition (= internal memory?) 2GB.

Then quit parted and upgrade your ext2 to ext3 and then ext4.

ext2 - ext3:

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

ext3 - ext4

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Check parted again and you'll see your updated info... until the next reboot.

Anyone else willing to share some knowledge?

its a post i made on androidcommunity.com 2years and 3 months ago for partitioning an sd card, in the G1, through the recovery(there was a terminal included in the recovery then) of the phone. maybe itll help you put this puzzle together with some hints. good luck!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanFabbro:
well its progress, atleast were getting somewere. i have a few things to do firste then i have to get my adb working agian and ill get right back on this,

so you were able to resize it but theres a safty precaution prenting it from applying upon reset? hmm ok ill check that out ill do your method above just give me a little while to get around to it.

oh and should i boot into ubuntu doing this? or is windows ok?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
You can continue using Windows. If you run "adb shell", adb 'connects' to the shell of your device anyway (which is Linux-based).

If your adb isn't working, make sure you're not in the bootloader menu because that's fastboot. Being in the recovery is the ideal environment to mess around with your phone.

Maybe the fat32 partition (sdcard) has to be removed as well, I just resized it because I figured that since it exists already, it shouldn't be deleted.

Good luck and keep me/us updated :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Alright a small addition;

Unfortunately I need my phone tonight and tomorrow so I can't mess around with it, so I'll leave you some things to look at and maybe they can help us further.

I've been digging through the filesystem and found partition specification files in /sys/block/mmcblk0/ and sys/devices/mmcblk0. It are directories that contain the classification of devices.

I pulled them to take a closer look and what I found was rather interesting.

It contains 3 folders, one for each partition. Inside those folders are the specifications for the partition. Let me tell you that I'm not sure how Android treats these files (ergo; are they static and loaded on reboot, causing the revert of the partitions - or dynamic and created somehow else).

Here's a quick rundown of the files, I'll use mmcblk0p2 because that's the internal memory, same logic applies to mmcblk0p1 and 3:

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 alignment_offset
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 dev
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 discard_alignment
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 22 18:52 holders
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 inflight
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 partition
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 partition_name
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 22 18:52 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 size
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 start
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 stat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 22 18:52 subsystem -> ../../../../../../../../../class/block
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Oct 22 18:52 uevent

There's a start and size file. The size file contents are:

2097152

2097152 is equal to 1GB, it is the sector size. Multiplying this value by 2 would set the size to 2GB.

If that is done, I would assume that the value mmcblk0p3/start has to be shifted by 2097152 and the size reduced by 2097152, if that makes sense to you.

There's also a weird symlink to a subsystem, /class/block, of which I can list and cat its contents but I have no idea how to access it properly, can't cp it either. Looks like Android protects this area somehow. Basically it contains copies (or originals?!!) of the files in /sys/block.

I know that in the Linux kernel all three classification directories (sys/block, sys/class, sys/bus) are merged into one place at /sys/subsystem, following the layout of the bus directories. All buses and classes, including the converted block subsystem, will show up there. But unfortunately my knowledge of the Android kernel is far too limited to know what exactly is going on.

So maybe changing the contents of all these files and then using parted to partition the partitions, making them exactly the same as the values that these files imply, could make the changes the the internal memory stick.

Once again, if anyone has another idea, please let us know.

On the Hero we would use firerat mod. It required a change to recovery for it to work as well as a change to the boot partition. I'm not sure what phone it was developed under but there should be a thread/link in the hero cdma section.

Hello everybody,

yesterday I updated my Desire S to Android 2.3.5 via the regular update process (no modified ROM or something like this).

Since then, some messages, which are marked as read in OWA and outlook, remain unread on the phone. Even starting the sync process manual via pushing the sync-button does not change anything on the "read-state".

It does not happen with every message, lets say about 50 percent of all incoming mails. I already deleted the exchange account on the phone and on the Exchange Server 2010 and started with a new account... doesn't change anything.

Do you have any idea? How can I look for the reason of the problem?
