System Recovery (Factory Restore):

There has been some question about the factory restore as to whether it just wipes data or does a complete /system restore as well.

There are two different modes of restore that can kick in, if you bork the system files or need to force a complete restore, you can do so.

Data only wipe:

The fastest and best way to get to this is to hold down the "n" button while powering on the tablet. This will wipe your side loaded or installed apps as well. If something gets messed up on your tablet and is forced into a recovery, this is the default recovery that will kick in after about 8 failed boot attempts.

Full system restore:

If your tablet continues to have failed boots after initiating the data wipe restore, it will force into a complete restore without even asking. First it will do the data wipe like normal, followed by a restore of factory software. Once done, your Nook Tablet will be restored to the way it was the first time you powered it on.

I have been able to force the full restore by powering off repeatedly during the data wipe. Once you see the restore kick in without giving the usual prompt to hit "n" or home to continue, just let it run and the complete restore will run.

Partition Files and Information:

"Factory" partition, this is where the factory restore pulls the files from (ROM, etc)

/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmcblk0p7 or /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/factory

DOWNLOAD ZIP FILE OF FACTORY PARTITION FILES HERE - There appears to be a Recovery image and boot image in this as well

I did try to alter the factory.zip rom file by not disturbing it's signature. I then mounted the factory partition and added the modded factory.zip

I forced a full restore but about 1/4 of the way into the factory software restore it aborted and told me to reboot. It did not install the modded rom files. So it checks beyond just the signature on the rom file, maybe md5 checks.

Working on other partitions and will add those as done....

Recovery Partition

/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmcblk0p3 or /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery

Boot Partition

/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmcblk0p4 or /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/boot

In trying to add new library files to /system/lib, I will get FC errors when testing changes and in reviewing the logcat, it is as if the files does not exist. The error will say the lib file is not found. Permissions are correct, and a full reboot has been done as well. I ran into a similar problem where an FC error was looking for a java class, and when the APK was decompiled, it was right there in the location it was suppoed to be.

I found a file, /system/manifest that has a list of the libs and framework files, along with a long code. Does anyone know what this is? It appears the ROM has a manifest of what is supposed to be in place, and if it falls outside of that it gets ignored. Editing this manaifest could be a critical piece at this point in doing some serious modifications.

There are also a couple of manifest files in the root (/) path as well.

Anyone familiar with this and can expand further?

Here is a few lines from the Manifest files.

I'd guess that's the MD5 sum of each file. Perhaps file integrity is confirmed by calculatung the current sum and comparing it to the stored value in this file. Any files you update in your image, consider calculating the new checksum and putting it here next to the right file?

Hi,

guys i have been reading a lot so that i could try to get a clear answers but i am still a bit confused.

I have successfully rooted my X10 min pro having stock rom 2.1 update 1 and also i have used the flash tool to install xrecovery. I am trying to install the Mini CM7 Pro v 21 and i read that i need CWM4 for it. So i wanted to know does that mean i can't install with Xrec?

Also if i have to install CWM how do i do that since i must clearly say that there is too much information that i have gone through and really it is not making too much sense.

so can anyone please give me a clearer idea on installing the CM7 on my X10 min pro.

Thank You
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nelikp:
1-U have to find and download (latest CWM.zip)

2-Move the xxx.zip to sdcard (root directory) (don put in any folder)

3-boot into xrecovery

4-sellect install from sdcard

5-choose your xxx.zip (on step 1)

or u can try this

1-find any custom room which one can install using xrecovey BUT!!

the custom room must be dual recovery preinstall (Xrecovery and CWM)

2-Now u already hace CWM recovery now you can install what ever rom U liked:cool:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stiv8785:
To install MiniCM7 Pro v 21, you must have the CWM and not required cwm 4.

to install cwm, see here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257701

sorry for my bad English :D

Don,t forget to press thanks if i can help you. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adi231189:
Thanks but i have already installed xrecovery through the flash tool,so you are telling me i have to install CWM to install v21? I am asking because nelikp didn't talk anything abt CWM.

I want to know since i have installed xrecovery can i still use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257701

to install CWM?

Will i do any harm if i install CWM as given in the above thread?

EDIT: I hope there is no problem installing CM7 v21 in X10 mini pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] steiff:
You can install CWM with teh CWM Installer (from the Thread you posted above).

Then you can boot into CWM and install MiniCM7 pro V21. Read and follow the instructions in first post of the MiniCM7 pro thread and you will be happy about the fantastic ROM.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] YoWis:
Hi Adi,

I've installed MiniCM7 Pro v21 with XRecovery for my X10 MP and it's works just fine. I haven't found any problem until now.

And delete these apps before install the rom if you don't need it

DSP Manager

Gmail

Google Maps

Latitude

FOTA KILL (GOOGLE OVER THE AIR UPDATES)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adi231189:
Thanks for the confirmation but i was confident enough and installed CWM 3 r5 and it is working on my mini pro, i just need some time to install the OS. i didn't know that CM7 had gmail in it. I though we need to flash teh gapps after installing CM. i usually don't use too much apps, any way can anybody please point me on how to save app2SD guide since i have gone through many and they are making a little bit sense but still not clear. Also there is a option of partition in CWM itself can i use it?

Edit Wanted to know can i use my stock kernel to install a custom ROM,since i looked at Zombiepack kernel and it rquires unlocking bootloader which seriously i am not confident doing since i am not able to understand clearly
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stiv8785:
You can install the ROM MiniCM7 Pro v 21 and GintonicSE v2.5.1 (with modules) in the stock kernel. custom ROMs have natife app2sd and don't need second partission, I use Pro v21 MiniCM7 and existing Gmail.

Sorry for my bad English :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
There are many different stories to talk about.

As it is very difficult for me to identify your interests and knowledge, I reduce my answer to the IMO most important threads for SGS2:

1. Intratech's Official Firmware thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Please read the first post. There is a detailed description of how to flash a new Firmware/ROM to your phone, and there is a Quick Root Guide too.

This rooting method is very elegant (as you do not get a yellow triangle and the binary counter will not be increased), but it is a little bit "manual".

For a little bit more "automated" rooting, look at the next thread.

Most important is, that you can find the latest, official and stable Firmware version most as non-wipe together with the corresponding stock kernel, which you might need for getting rid of the yellow triangle after flashing a rooted kernel (such as CF-Root or SpeedMod).

I always prefer flashing Frankenstein ROMs from third post, as you can combine them to any other Firmware parts, such as Modem/Phone/Baseband (for inter-connectivity) and CSC (for region and/or carrier dependent customizations) files.

2. Chainfire's CF-Root thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root

Everything you need to root your phone is to flash a rooted kernel to your phone (See description in first post).

And if you want to get rid of the yellow triangle, Chainfire has described it in his second post.

The only thing to do is to find the corresponding kernel for your ROM.

So, it is useful to flash a new ROM first, then flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel and you have root access on your phone.

There are many other goodies which come along with CF-Root kernel, such as ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery mode (an extended recovery mode including features, such as backup&restore, clear Dalvik cache, flash other zip files from sd card, etc.) and CWM Manager app (to have a very user-friendly app to make use of most new CWM recovery features).

But you can use any other rooted kernel, which is compatible with your ROM, to root your phone.

3. Custom ROMs ... such as CyanogenMod ...

There are many, custom ROMs and kernels optimized for different things, such as better performance (higher scores in benchmarks) or longer battery life.

You have to take your time and search on yourself what you really want most and which custom ROM or kernel you want to try.

Stick to the SGS II Official Android Development forum => http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1058

... search, read, test !

Just to be on the "safe" side, do a backup before flashing.

If you have CWM recovery mode (or CWM Manager app), just do a complete system / nandroid backup.

So you will be able to restore this backup, if one of the tested custom ROMs or kernels messed up your phone.

Good luck !

This Thing is really scary....lolz......

I mean it is too damn hard to understand....

really jailbreaking is so mch easier.....

And ya What is bricking of device... How can i prevent bricking of my sgs2 while rooting...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irish-sid:
By reading the threads stated above, multiple times, very carefully.

I can jailbreak a phone in my sleep, but this stuff kinda went over my head too. I got the GS2 (my first android also) a couple of months ago and have been reading up on stuff periodically but still don't understand a lot of it.

It's why I'm glad there are so many helpful people who write clear guides on how to do stuff.

I'm sure by the time the GS3 comes out I'll have a bit of a grasp on things!! :rolleyes:

But just read read read.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
Yea I was scared too. All I can say is, READ THE STEPS ONCE, TWICE, AND AGAIN BEFORE YOU TOUCH YOUR PHONE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freemini:
First off. It's not possible to brick it when flashing a kernel(to root). The only way to brick is replacing the boot loader, only official Samsung ROM's do that and it takes less than a second so the chances are slim. I say you start by downloading CF-ROOT for your current firmware. Just be careful and read the instructions. I also recommend to only flash roms from XDA. Also, never use PIT file in ODIN. Welcome to Android, I was new as well 3 months ago and I've been changing kernels and roms like crazy since then :)

Your current firmware is KF3. I HIGHLY recommend downloading and installing KJ3 from Intratech's thread. It is very fast. Download the one from Frankenstein firmwares. That will not root, you need to flash cf-root or other rooted kernels to do that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
dont worry mate i felt the same as well..but as stated above by the rest of the posts read carefully the steps and you should be fine honestly:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
People talk about jailbreaking iPhones being easy, i could say the same about rooting and flashing ROM's, simple to do once you get the hang of it (and read up)

Just take it slow, pour a coffee and read. I can't stress it enough. It'll make you more comfortable when you actually do it.

Search for the "litening ROM" has great step by step including links to Odin and all that good stuff.

So Guys I rooted My SGS 2 using the following method..

First of all, make sure you’re having all these tools mentioned below at the time rooting.

Odin Downloader

XWKDD tar file [don’t extract, leave as it is]

SuperOneClick

USB Data Cable

Samsung’s KIES 2.0 or get it from download page

Install Samsung Kies 2.0,if not installed, as you will need the correct USB driver for software’s to communicate. Turn on USB debugging mode in galaxy s2 from Setting>Applications>Development>USB Debugging

1. Boot device into download mode. For getting into download mode on galaxy s2, first turn off the phone and power it on again by pressing Volumedown button, Home button and Power simultaneously. You’ll see a downloading icon once you go into this mode.

2. Start Odin downloader

3. Connect phone to computer via USB.

4. Odin software will notify you when it detects phone and gets connected.

5. In the software, just select “Auto Reboot” and “Reset Time” checkboxes and leave every other options as default.

6. Press PDA icon and select the XWDD tar file you just downloaded [XWKDD_insecure.tar]

7. Press Start and ODIN will flash the kernel and after that, Galaxy S2 will reboot.

8. Don’t remove the phone from USB and let it reboot.

9. After rebooting, start SuperOneClick and press ROOT.

9. Once again reboot the device.

That’s it, Your Samsung Galaxy S2 is now Rooted!!

Now enjoy all the custom roms and overclocking apps for galaxy without any restrictions.​

And I used CWM manager to remove the yellow triangle....

Now what else do i need to do...

For now just enjoy your phone as is probably. Over time you will find out what you really needed root for. For me titanium backup is number 1.

Unlike an iPhone, even without rooting you can do most things you need but yeah some need root.

Personally I would have rooted using cf root/speedmod etc to have cwm recovery for backups.

Also, to root you could have simply just flashed cf root in Odin as PDA and your done.

Just go to intratech thread that was linked on first page. Then i would recommend to chose the frankenstein version to be able to reset your counter if needed.

Chose the firmware you want (kk5 is pretty good) and flash it with odin.

You can also flash a custom rom that is based on sammy like checkrom. You can do this trough cwm recovery and don't need to use odin for flashing.

If you don't have cwm yet you can install siyah kernel to get it.
