[General Questions and Answers] jwiens:
I just bought a 'cheapie' tablet, with stats listed below. My question is, can I root and upgrade from Froyo to 3.0 or 3.1 with the hardware listed below, and if so, where should I start? I have experience with Android, have rooted phone, updated my 2.2 to 2.3 on HTC Desire, running Cyanogen 7.0, and have bricked it and resolved issue, so not afraid to get my hands dirty. However, I need your collective experience and advice as to my current dilemma. Is it feasible?

Thanks in advance,

Jason

[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
an actual product name would help. :P
[General Questions and Answers] jwiens:
Product Name

Welllllllllllllllll, er.........It's actually a Hong Kong speciality....possibly an Acer KIRF, so there is no real product name, just the hardware specs.....

I know (hanging head in shame), but the price was fantastic, and I have a few buddies that have purchased same item, and are ecstatic with the quality....however, they don't try to muck with anything, they don't even know there is an OS update past Froyo, nor do they care...

Challenge begins....
[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
well, for a tablet as rare as this, you aren't going to find any custom ROMs for it. are you interested in/willing to make a ROM for it yourself? because that seems to be about your only option :/ sorry.

you should be able to root it, somehow, tho.
[General Questions and Answers] jwiens:
Rooting

Any suggestions as to best/safest way to root? I was thinking EasyRoot, or Unrevoked. Do you foresee any serious complications if I do attempt, or should I dust off my coding skills and try to custom code it? If your suggestion is the latter, what's best way, ADK? I have only ever mucked around with proprietary and stable hardware, such as HTC and Moto....

Thanks again,

Jason
[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
well, first use every auto root there is - z4root, superoneclick, gingerbreak, ect.

those can't really damage your device, they just won't work. Unrevoked is only really good for HTC devices tho.

If you have the skills to check out the software, go for it.

how's the UI? if it looks almost stock, that's a good indicator that they just slapped raw android on it, and root should come easily.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhannbernas:
hi

i would just like to ask where can i get the default bootanimation and downanimation for DHD. i'm currently on Virtuous Unity rom and i wan't to replace the boot/down animation to default? is it possible? thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
I'm currently running Eclipse v1.0. I thought I was running v1.1 but sysinfo shows 1.0 even though I ran the 1.1 patch.

So I was going to go ahead and run the 1.1 patch for the HDMI mirroring.

So I go to my app tray hit system recovery, install recovery, allow SU, click OK once installed, plug into the wall charger, give it a sec, hit recovery mode, wait for my phone to reboot into recovery.....

well it all appears to be working until it goes to reboot, it just doesn't come back on. Just sits there with the power off, I've waited 3 mins for it, but nothing no moto screen no nothing.

I've tried this about 5x now.

I wanted to reinstall recovery, but it must of been cooked in the ROM cause I cannot uninstall it......

I did read through some of the pages on the Eclipse rom but didn't notice anyone with this problem, must be me.

Any ideas?

** EDIT ** hmmmm

Well, I just found out something new.

While my phone was powered completely off from trying to boot into recovery while I was typing this, I went to turn it on, pushed the power button then decided I would put my BH6X back in to fully charge (BH5x in now) so I pulled the battery on the M screen and it continued to boot, with no battery, now im in the system recovery......

So apparently no battery is needed, and for some reason I can install recovery, but cannot reboot into it. But since its installed and I have AC power I can pull battery and force boot it?

weird.....

Please change the title of this thread.
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
Changed..... not really sure why I changed it.... but there ya go! Enjoy, and thanks for your help.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
You using the charger connected to an outlet?
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
Yup...... not going to mess with it again until I get it all setup to make a nandroid backup.....

I can get into recovery... its just weird...
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
So you get into recovery by pulling the battery then? I've never read anyone with this issue. With the phone powered off, and you plug in the charger, does it boot to recovery?
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
Yeah, I can get into recovery by plugging in my phone to wall charger while its off.

I've always just plugged it into a wall charger, went to my system recovery app, clicked install recovery, then clicked recovery mode, waited for it to boot into recovery..... is that not right?....

** EDIT ** Running recovery V2.5.1.8
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
That's what the instructions in recovery say. Only thing i can think of is to uninstall system recovery and reinstall it. Doubt it will work but worth a shot. This can be done with a file explorer w/ root access, i.e. root explorer or es file explorer. They're located in /system/app

Edit: you can also remove Any system app with titanium backup as well as the file explorers.
[Motorola Droid X2] bobhilton6969:
Yeah, first thing I tried to do was uninstall..... wouldnt let me...

Ill try it with root explorer....

was going to just reinstall the ROM but I'll try taking it out of system/app first then installing it...

Can anyone confirm v2.5.1.8 is current ver?
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
I must be using an ancient version if that is the current version. I'm using 1.0.0.3 and it works just fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Have any luck?

I haven't looked at recovery for a few days now (love liberty) but the version of cwm you posted about is the only recovery we can use. You have the right tool. :)

I don't believe you scoured hard enough then sir. Please see attached link, its someways down but its in there. PLEASE, search because honestly this link is posted directly on the first page under mods for 6.1.x. Also, the Q&A's for specific ROMS aren't for show, it would be better if you posted questions that pertain to specific roms in their respective Q&A thread so we can avoid clutter in the Q&A section.

[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_schieman:
First of all thank you!!!!!!!!! Rest assured that i scoured immensely. I even have the link to the Rom in my favorites so that i can get to it in no time. The reason I could not find it was because it was in the Desire HD forum and I was looking in the Inspire forum. And I would have never had noticed that I posted in general Q&A unless you called me out on it. I had every intention of posting it in the Rom section, but I had som many tabs open that i guess i posted in the wrong one. I am usually not one to just post some crap question. I have had Android since the good old G1 and have been getting all of my info from xda and cyanogenmod for some time. This is the first post that i have made and i have used xda to root, radio, ect for 5 phones. Sorry to ramble. Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!

Android flasher didn't work for me either, try FastbootCommander, works perfectly or at least it does for me. Get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193915

I wouldn't think your radio will effect your camera but I could be wrong, have you tried a different rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Yeah fastboot commander is where it's at. Try that or using cmd
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcardspv:
Or try using Android Flasher to flash a pre 3.0 recovery (most people like 2.5.0.7 but I've had errors with that so I use 2.5.1.8) and get the zip of the radio and flash it in recovery. Sometimes it doesn't work but it just stays at the existing radio version, it doesnt brick the phone or anything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Of course if you changed your partitions to have smaller /cache than 25MB, you cant do this.

Fastboot is better (safer) though, if you can get it to work.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Hi all. My first post. I decided a couple weeks ago I wanted to root my G2x and started lurking here and reading up on the process. I Had Gingerbread installed so used One-Click NvFlasher to flash CWM 4.0.1.5 to my phone and then rooted the phone using a zip found in another thread. It was my first time rooting and I'm happy to say everything went fine. :)

I was playing around with ROM Manager and also installed CWM using it but decided until I have more time to spend checking out/installing ROMs I'm gonna stick with stock so I uninstalled it.

My questions are: do I now have two versions of CWM on my phone? Which version did ROM Manager install? If I boot into recover which one is loading, the one I installed with NvFlasher or the ROM Manager-installed one? And how do remove the one ROM Manager put there? I'd rather stick with just the one I installed using NvFlasher.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dustinscottmiller:
From what I understand, the ROM manager app doesn't really flash CWM on our phones, it fakes it. So, you've only got installed what you did through NVFlash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Yeah, I read about the fake flashing in the NvFlasher thread but didn't know what it meant fully. Seems like it means that you can only boot into the fake flashed one using ROM Manager. Other than that I wasn't sure what the implications of the fake flash were.

There's a clockwork mod folder on my phone's sdcard (internal - I don't use an external one). Is that the fake flash or the NvFlash one? I'd love to delete that folder if it's the ROM Manager one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The "Clockworkmod" folder on your SD card is where the ROMs are backed up regardless of which version of Clockworkmod you used so don't delete that folder. The difference is when you boot into recovery using power + volume down you use the Clockworkmod Recovery on the phone's recovery partition you flashed with NVFlash. When you "reboot into recovery" using ROM Manager you boot into the so-called "fake flashed" version of Clockwordmod and it is not loaded from the physicial recovery partition on the phone; but from an image kept elsewhere in your phone's NAND memory. Don't worry about those images as leaving them won't harm anything and won't interfer with any OTA udpates if you are on a rooted stock rom. To get rid of it you simply want to uninstall ROM Manager from your device and then delete the "udpate.zip" file you will find in the root of the internal sd card. It is that update.zip that ROM Manager uses to trick recovery into loading the recovery images it stored elsewhere on your device. Now when you want to go into Clockworkmod Recovery just boot into recovery using power + volume down or the Reboot 2X app in the Market (link below). When the app says your device is not supported ignore it and press the back key (do not press the exit button) and then you can use that app to reboot into the real Clockworkmod Recovery without having to hold the buttons on the phone.

https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYXhpc21hLmxnbzJ4cmVib290Il0.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Thanks, jboxer. I'd already uninstalled ROM Manager and just now deleted the update.zip. It seems like with CWM already flashed via NvFlasher I can backup my stock ROM and install any other ROM I can download so I don't really need ROM Manager unless I'm looking for something with an interface.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You don't want ROM Manager, period, on our phone. It doesn't run recovery from the actual recovery partition and if you are borked you don't have a usable recovery to fix your phone unless you flashed with NV Flash anyway. I also don't like the way ROM Manger "boots" into recovery. It is actually invoking the stock recovery (or whatever recovery you may have flashed with NV Flash) and that then runs the update.zip file on the root of your internal sd. Since stock recovery is set to factory reset your phone when you invoke recovery, I worry that if the upate.zip got messed up you might wind up factory resetting your phone. I tried ROM Manager (which doesn't work until you use NV Flash at least once anyway) and booted from it into recovery once. It was scary enough for me I immediately uninstalled it and got rid of its bogus update.zip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Yeah, when I played with ROM Manager I really didn't like it, which is why I uninstalled it after playing around with it for five or ten minutes.

At this point I'm running stock GB on my phone, and I used Titanium Backup to remove the bloat (NOVA demo, T-mobile Mall and TV,) and the phone is running nice and smoothly. I'm a little confused about one thing though: Titanium backup is to backup apps/settings for this ROM, right? Whereas if I want to backup the ROM itself before putting CM7 on my phone I do that by booting into CWM and choosing the backup/restore option. Is my thinking here correct?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, but you should not have used Titanium Backup to remove bloat. That defeats one of the purposes of keeping the rom stock. Once the bloat is removed you can not get future OTA updates, if any. They will download but the install will fail as it checks for all original files have remained untouched. There are apps that can freeze bloat and when you get an OTA you unfreeze them so you can apply the OTA update. To backup the ROM you must go into Clockworkmod Recovery. Also I recomment other apps such as Astro for backing up apk files. In my experience, Titanium Backup just makes a mess of everything and usually the restores fail.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
My phone's never been able to connect to the servers for an ota update anyway. I'm not sure but maybe this is because I installed Gingerbread using LG's desktop app rather than waiting for t-mobile to push the update to me. In any cas, I am planning to flash a custom rom soon. Been thinking CM7 but that's just because it's the only once I know much about. I'm gonna start researching how to install it.

If I ever want to go back to stock after flashing a custom rom there are stock roms available for download, right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Also what exactly does freezing an app do? I noticed Titanium can do it but is there another app I should look at for freezing an app?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Freezing an app makes it invisible to the system without deleting it. OTA updates requires that no system files have been deleted or changed. You can defrost them at any time and the system can see them again. It is a much preferred method over deleting for many reasons. Titanium Backup uses a different freeze method than other apps, and some other apps can freeze some programs that Titanium Backup cannot freeze, such as Amazon MP3. I use Bloat Freezer and some people I know use App Quarantine. They are free versions of both on the Android Market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Anttek App Manager (free) from the market can freeze anything. Also has a couple of other nice features.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Hey I backed up my original gb before I did anything to the phone so as long as I restore that nandroid I will be fine to get updates right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
ROM Manager works fine even if you NVFlash a recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
Thanks man. I love this app. Very useful and a nice, clean layout. Sticking with this for my freezing needs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MisfitX:
When you freeze an app it acts for all intensive purpose just like it was removed (ROM will not see it, market won't see it, and any apps that rely on it won't see it either) but its still there.

Advantage to removing an app: frees up space

Disadvantage: harder it get it back, can cause problems, fc's

I have found that freezing is the way ta go..

I use mybackup pro from market works great and very easy to navigate

When this problem happened to me, my phone couldn't mount the internal storage device or the sd card so it wouldn't do even a normal boot, in CWM it couldn't find any ROMs to install, and I would get error messages when trying to wipe data etc. Then after a few reboots and battery pulls it was stuck at the yellow triangle screen.
