Cause if every single HTC device have right of upgrade, what's the point of new devices from HTC ? This forces people to buy new products. Hope you understant :)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
like i said, it's all about the sale
[HTC Incredible S] nednednerb:
They sell a device, support a few updates for a while, perhaps after that one or two updates spread out, then they do focus on the sale of newer devices almost exclusively.

HTC is better than some companies, and at least they have made lots of hardware that can support better software, because we can enjoy the great work of independent developers like those on xda to give us lots of options. We don't have to rely on HTC that way!

Go open source!

Anyone knows how we can port it???
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
You should be happy, as HTC is actually releasing updates...go to Huawei or Motorola...the phone sells and dies with the same Rom. :) You'll find all sorts of unofficial Roms, but not from the manufacturers.

So, HTC is doing quite all-right, not as good as Google (from obvious reasons) but not as bad as Huawei or Motorola.

OK. once again regarding this app, does anyone have any idea how to port it?

Sorry i know it is kind of off topic. but it is the only topic i find that is relate to Xrecovery the most.

I used the flashtool to install the xrecovery 0.3 - release ( downloaded from DoomLord page, the file call FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec)

It say already using "V0.3 GBready.zip" but when i boot in xrecovery. the top still show "xrecovery v0.3 release"

and so i try to do the xrecovery v0.3 GB updated.

but. i failed in the first line when i type "rm -r /sdcard"

it say

" rm: can't remove ' /sdcard' : No such file or directory"

can i ask what is the possible mistake i did made in the whole process.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] highfly92185:
Okay so my phone is rooted [i already added the 32bit driver]. I used ODIN to root my sgs4g to GB 2.3.3, i Then downloaded,[used ODIN again to install] drhonk's stock+Voodoo-T959VKH2.tar - followed the [Solution Thread]Step by Step on how to flash any Gingerbread ROM. [ i have also installed titanium back up pro - busybox - voodoo control - quick boot]

Now i have yet to flash a rom yet as im not quite clear as how to do it.

Everywhere i have looked for a guide to flashing it just says place files on the root of your sd card.

Does that mean plug my phone into my computer via USB and do this ? or do i have use ODIN again ? and if i do have to use ODIN again do i put the file in the PDA area again and hit start?

Is flashing and using ODIN two different things or are they the same?

ONce i get this figured out i would like a ROM that speeds up my sgs4g and has a few cosmetic options or different themes and maybe removes bloatware [but i think i read that titanium backup can do that?]? i was thinking valhalla? if there is something better or more geared towards what i want what would it be?

If im being a dumbass noob just tell or link a guide i should follow and i will figure it out , but i have been up all night messing with this and i cant figure it out. I have slept in 24 hours so im kinda retarded at the moment =p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] highfly92185:
so i think i figured it out, correct me if i am wrong - Download the rom, open ODIN , connect phone in download mode , Use the PDA area and add the .tar ROM file , hit start , then boot phone in CWM and then move files to the SD card from there?

since i have voodoo i have to disable it before i mount to sd card also right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
If you have one of honks kernels you should have clockworkmod recovery. Most custom roms are flashed from there. No Odin involved. I recommend Valhalla or octane. Either download directly from your phone or to your computer then move it to your SD card. Boot into cwm recovery and flash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Edit that. I saw your on android 2.3.3. That's not a good version of gb. You need to go back and Odin a newer version. The kg4 2.3.4 has the correct bootloaders. Odin that rom then Odin Dr honks kernel then flash a cwm rom. Fbis251 has an excellent starter guide in the dev section. Find it read it and follow it and you will have no issues at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Copperhed:
ROOT THE AT&T SGH-I727 AND SGH-I727R SKYROCKET

​

This procedure does not trigger the Flash Counter, no ! yellow triangle at boot!!!

This method will flash a custom recovery image and then you can flash the superuser.zip file or custom rom to root your phone.

This will root 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.

This requires knowledge with the use of ODIN (Read a guide).

BE CAREFUL because this can harm your phone and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT DOES!!!!

DO NOT HAVE "RE-PARTITION" CHECKED IN ODIN!!!!

First Things you need to have:

*You Need ODIN 1.8++(CLICK ME)

*The USB Drivers for Our Skyrocket

*Clockworkmod Recovery which you are going to flash via ODIN(THIS FILE DOES NOT ROOT YOUR PHONE!)

recovery.tar MD5 Checksum 9ffa2458019af7974ef4820d0cf5992c

*Superuser+Su files to flash in clockworkmod Or download your favorite custom rom. There is a good list here

*SDCARD installed for CWM Recovery

FIRST STEPS.......

*Install the drivers and make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.

*Place the "superuser.zip" on your EXTERNAL SD card.

Or place a custom rom on your EXTERNAL SD card.

If you want STOCK rooted then use the superuser.zip, if your going to put a custom rom on anyway then you can use that rom.

***If you have never rooted or installed a custom rom before, I suggest using the superuser.zip method.***

NOW LETS INSTALL CWM RECOVERY........

*Take the battery out and place it back

*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug in the USB cable.

*SGH-I727R (Rogers) users hold Vol down and plug in the USB cable.

*Press Vol up to continue to Download Mode.

*Make sure Odin recognizes your phone as in this picture.

*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the SkyrocketCWMrecovery.tar that you downloaded earlier

*Make sure the Re-Partition box is NOT checked*

*Select Start and Odin will do its thing.

*It should flash the Recovery file and reboot the phone.

NOW LETS MAKE A BACKUP AND GET ROOTED!!!

*Unplug USB, Take the battery out, place it back, and boot into CWM recovery with the button combo below

*Hold Both Vol up + Vol down and Hit power.

*Once in CWM Recovery, navigate the menu by using the volume buttons and select with the power button.

*Select "backup and restore" and then select "backup".

Now CWM Recovery is backing up your current stock rom, it will take a few minutes, be patient.:)

*After back-up and while still in CWM recovery...

*Select "Install zip from sdcard", choose the superuser.zip, select "YES" and let it install, you may need to flash it about three times if you get errors. Even with the error, sometimes it still works.

(follow the custom rom developers instructions for install of that custom rom!!!!).

*Reboot your phone and check for the superuser app in your app drawer.

*Now you are rooted with CWM Recovery installed!

Have fun!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kadin:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gr8Danes:
Just to be clear, we can use the CWM for the T-Mobile SGS through ROM manager (just to flash CWM), correct? Are there any features not working?

Yes. I did it today and did a backup with no issues at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Copperhed:
This method does not trigger the flash counter. Only using ODIN to flash a non-stock rom or kernel triggers the flash counter. This method only flashes a the Recovery partition and you use CWM to flash kernels or roms and root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Copperhed:
ODIN is necessary evil when it comes to Samsung phones, going back to stock, fixing major problems and flashing modems are best solved with ODIN.

I think this is the simplest way to obtain root and have CWM and not trigger the Flash Counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nutedro:
i messed something up

First time doing root myself, ran into a couple of issues.

First Odin on PC said Fail! after choosing recovery.tar file for PDA and clicking start. Phone was still stating "downloading & to not turn off target". Now phone says it's in Odin Mode with yellow triangle error stating "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Downloaded Kies to do recovery, but can't connect...even after re-installing drivers, both from Kies and the driver link from this post.

Im sure i screwed it up, but dont know what to do now....any help would be appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Copperhed:
When using ODIN, be sure ODIN recognizes your phone like this picture.

View attachment 779012

Make sure no other programs are working in the background, like anti-virus or firewall, and make sure Kies is closed. They can mess up communication with ODIN and your phone.

Have you tried to boot into CWM?

If you can't, try flashing the recovery.tar again.

Then place |Melvin|'s stock rom on your external SD card and flash in CWM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Copperhed:
Great! Glad it worked for you.

If you flashed CWM recovery using my method, you should have a back up of your stock unrooted rom. You can restore this backup and use Odin to flash the stock recovery. This will put you back at the factory state without tripping the flash counter.
