[Captivate General] studacris:
Then use adb to boot into download mode and flash the gingerbread bootloaders to fix your combo, you will NEED the button combos on miui especially for download mode as no software will boot into download on aosp roms.

Adb reboot download is the command
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Terminal Emulator will boot you into dl mode (I think). Or just get jiggy with it.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Terminal emulator requires root...
[Captivate General] David522d:
I have root, im trying to do the 3 button combo to open up the DOWNLOAD but i cant get the 3 button combo working. I see theres a fix but i dont know how to install recovery for me to be able to flash ROMS.

Plz help.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Ok, if you are rooted then go to the market and download terminal emulator.

Enter the commands

su (enter) (this will cause a superuser prompt asking for root rights, allow)

reboot download (enter)

Then flash this to fix your button combo.

Do not flash any old "3 button fixes" they are fine on eclair/froyo but will cause a guaranteed hard brick on gingerbread bootloaders. So on the safe side just NEVER use it.
[Captivate General] David522d:
Im rooted on Elcair 2.1, after i flash that can i install MIUI? and will i have recovery?
[Captivate General] David522d:
DUDE WTF i just flashed it and not theres a phone ! to computer picture...

Please HELP!!!
[Captivate General] studacris:
First read this thread

And since you're having connection issues I wouldn't use the bootloader package until you're sure it will flash, cause if it fails again it can hard brick the phone.

this is the stock eclair ROM, if does not contain bootloaders so you can try this as many times as it takes with no worries. btw this will be unrooted when the flash is successful.
[Captivate General] David522d:
So in other words im FUCJED?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Nope. You'll just need to be patient and keep trying the package that Studacris mentioned. Eventually it should get you to where you're needing to be.
[Captivate General] studacris:
No, you are "soft bricked" happens to everyone at least once. Now comes the fun of learning how to recover!

There are TONS of threads on it...

Since you button combos are broken you'll probably need a jig...but read through the first link I posted very Carefully, a few times if needed...
[Captivate General] David522d:
Already ordered the JIG.

Someone please write a full write up so i can get back to stock and install MIUI PLEASE!!!
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
When you start your phone, if you have the phone--

/!\

--pc screen, just assume that's download mode.

Next, start Odin or Heimdall on your computer (whichever you have - if it's Studacris' link, that's odin). Let it start up. Then, start your phone up. Connect your phone. Make sure that a yellow box with "COM:4" (or some similar number) comes up. If it does, press the button to start the flash.

Once you do that, you should be in a place where a MIUI flash is possible. But, let's get to that place first, then we'll deal with a MIUI install.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Thought we were talking about AFTER MIUI is installed.

Edit

Terminal emulator won't reboot into download mode. Just tried. My mistake.

Does anybody know if the Thrill roms, have CIQ?

as many of you know CIQ, can track everything about your device,

and i mean EVERYTHING, so i was just wondering if anybody knows if the Thrill roms being develop here have CIQ in them.
[LG Thrill 4G] josuelopezv:
As I understand this only comes in the HTC Sense UI
[LG Thrill 4G] Whippler:
iv read through the news, the thing lives in kernel. Sense and Touchwiz and others may have active carrier IQ parts in them for better tracking...
[LG Thrill 4G] bedwa:
I thought I saw ciq info in the initramfs, if I can confirm with treve I'll pull it.
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
don't hesitate to do that, pull the rat out there, i want to be able to have some freedom with my phone, without worring too much 'bout big brother:mad:
[LG Thrill 4G] mechpilot_z:
make sure to back up and read up before you remove it. the att version seems to be required to let the phone run on the stock rooted rom. i just bricked mine after removing it. And to kick me while i'm down, it wont boot into cwm so i can recover my phone. sh*t sucks.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
With battery removed hold vol up button and plug phone into computer. You should see a few things installing. Your phone will not actually turn on the way you know it is worlkng is by the fact it connects to the computer. You may need to download a few drivers from the baseband flash tutorial first. Once everything is installed correctly you should be able to install a kdz. That might fix you up.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
Is it safe to assume since the Doomed Froyo rom offers a custom kernel then it might be CarrierIQ free? Shouldn't this be a standard request on all new roms in the future?
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
No I never tried to even look for it. Mech said that removing it made his phone completely unbootable so removing it may prove more difficult than just erasing something.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Yeah I am double posting

Carrier IQ doesn't really matter anyway. Your carrier sees and stores everything you do with or without it. Everything you do goes through your carrier first so if you think removing carrier iq does anythjng to protect your privacy you are sorely mistaken

Oh one thing you can be happy about is ATT only keeps your texts and call records for 5-6 years.
[LG Thrill 4G] bedwa:
Not sure, but if this in the init.rc is what I think it is, I'm going to strip it in Thrillz kernel V3.

Though Urabewe has a point... If the carriers want the info, they can put it in the Ts&Cs, and skim the info anyways......
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Your location, texts, calls, where you made the call from and more are all stored on your carriers servers automatically whether your phone has ciq or not. There is no getting around it and, get your tin foil hats out, the feds DO NOT NEED A WARRANT TO RETRIEVE THIS INFO. THANK YOU MR. BUSH FOR THE PATRIOT ACT
[LG Thrill 4G] bedwa:

[LG Thrill 4G] qfour20:
I couldn't agree more. It's one of the worst pieces of legislation ever made. It's insulting to those who actually like this country to call it the "Patriot act". Just sickening. Welcome to the USSA.

More on-topic, I wonder exactly what it takes to neuter ciq? I know that the phone company has all my txts and phone calls and can sniff packets for all my data usage, but ciq is FAR more insidious than that. It allows keyboard logging. This means that they can have the user id and password for anything that I've logged into from this phone. Granted, I have nothing to hide, but I feel that it is my right to hide it anyways. To be secure in my private papers and effects, etc.

I guess I'm really glad that I hadn't gotten around to porting truecrypt for android yet. It would be completely pointless if there's a keylogger on the machine.

My results from 4 CarrierIQ detectors. I'm running DoomedFroyo V1.0.1

I got 3 yes, 1 no:

Voodoo Detector-Yes

Kintoo Detector-Yes

Bitdefender Detector-No

Lookout Mobile Security Detector-Yes
[LG Thrill 4G] qfour20:
I would love to test the new kernel wit ciq removed. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws, but could this crapware be.part of our battery issues?

For what it's worth, I know that the carriers have all my text and call data and can sniff packets. It's a stretch to say I'm okay with it, but there's not much I can do. A keyboard logger, however, is TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. In addition to that, I am not okay with carriers sending snooping data about me over a metered connection that I pay for. Hell no. Spend your own resources on spying, at&t. Not mine!

[LG Thrill 4G] Mad383Max:
Why is everybody looking for proof when it is sitting right there in running services?

I disabled it by tapping on it and it did not show up in services again for over 10 hours. So I powered down the phone and voila, it is back. Not sure if disabling really disables as I am not set up to log anything to my computer.

Thanks a bunch, I just have to relearn android, and I only ever ran honeycomb before.

Anywho, is there any confirmation that stopping the service stops it?

I'm just really not down for the keylogging at all. Sniff my packets for all I care, how do you justify using data people pay for to spy on them? Unless it only sends it when connected to widow. I suppose their is a way to confirm that also?

Really though, i remember the name carrier IQ from before smartphone era, unless I'm just recalling a memory incorrectly.

[LG Thrill 4G] malickie:
OK I could care less if ciq monitors SMS and stupid stuff like that. The simple fact that it can record website data and https login information that the carries etc have no reason to EVER see is what gets me ticked off about this software. If you really think about it, it is like having a keylogger.on your PC 24/7 365.
[LG Thrill 4G] kleeman7:
It would also consume battery to run constantly in the background.

Hi!

I know there are several threads, explaining how to overclock an X8 with GingerDX.

I wouldnt be asking this if I had already done it.

Thing is, I downloaded the OC Module (v004), pushed it to system/lib/modules, edited the hw_config (although down below there was a line with "insmod blablabla x8oc.ko) and I still dont know what Im missing, but on both SetCPU and Antutu CPU Master, Im still limited to max 600mhz.

What am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObsidianX:
Hey folks,

The screen on my 10.1 shattered a while back and I've been trying to find a replacement digitizer online but have had some issues. I have one of the ones that were handed out at Google I/O and I think that it's the European model. When measuring the digitizer that came with it it's about 1cm wider and taller than the US version. Has anybody else with an I/O Tab purchased a new digitizer online? What version should I get for the size that mine is?

Cheers!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
So I ran treve's carrier IQ removal tool found here on my rooted stock phone, and now it won't boot. It just hangs on the splash screen every time. Is there any way to recover my phone WITHOUT losing everything? Like if I use odin to flash a kernel with CWM and then just reflash a stock ROM? Could I pull that off without having to wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Got it booting again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
Glad to see you got it worked out. I love Odin. Very powerful tool. I'd rather Odin than cwm flash. I came from the original Motorola Droid (2 yrs in that rom scene) and for me Odin is light years ahead of sbf, a flashing app used with the Droid.

I got my E4GT on 10-1-11 and didn't make it 2 weeks before I rooted it. Don't know when you rooted but since you've now moved on to custom roms, may I suggest Calkulins 1.5a rom. Its been dead solid perfect for myself and most others running it. The nice thing is, a sprint tech in a thread over in the dev forums posted a tar direct from sprint used to Odin back to stock / no root. so there's no fear of bricking or when rom hopping. I run Calkulins rom with stock kernel (no need to o'c) and have had no los since using it. It's got a stock feel with TouchWiz in tact, and the TouchWiz launcher displays 5 dock icons (instead of 4 stock) & a 5x5 app drawer.

All the current roms out there now are good though. I've run them all but StrongSteve's that you mentioned. Gonna go check it out shortly. I'm looking forward to some ICS goodness soon and for some Miui lovin' dev to get a stable build of that going on the E4GT. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo_J:
Would Rcmix kernels work with Myn's Warm 2.3?

And im talking about the evo 3d(cdma) 2.3.4. If not Rcmix what other over clockable kernels work. Like anthrax or tiamat. Something trust worthy
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
myn himself said he was using anthrax, hope that answers your Q :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo_J:
ahhhh didn't see that. you wouldn't happen to know anything about flashing the new Virus Infected Eternity 1.5 over 1.42? jw lol

or if you can direct me to a few posts about it cuz i don't fell like unbricking my evo
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
no idea, never tried eternity.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
I ran virus's eternity since it came out, and left off from 1.5, good rom would recommend it but it is most stable with stock kernel.

I use warms 2.3 now and I dont think Im going back. I enjoy all the extra tweeks in it and how there's alot more custom theme's and mods you can flash. As far as performance very fast and zippy with anthrax rc2.1 no zram. I'll be using this for a long time.

I did do some searching on Google and didn't come up with much specifically for the Epic.

But what I wondered is, what is the best Governor and I/O scheduler for the following conditions:

1. Performance

2. Battery Life
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
Well if you want performance and battery life you should OC but run it conservative, I use the sio I/O scheduler I have tried them all and like this the best.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaostrodamis:
Besides voltage control, is there an I/O scheduler apps on the market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
I think no frills CPU control works
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubecoder:
To my knowledge, apps that allow changing of io schedulers, are only doing so for the sdcard.

This applies at minimum to No-frills, as I've looked at it's open source code.

You would want to use an init.d script (or similar) to set them for all partitions (or the ones you want that scheduler to run on anyways).

If anyone knows of a specific app that will change more than just the sdcard's scheduler, please let us all know.

Well I wasn't thinking I could have OC and battery life, so I figured it was more one or the other.

weird problem i got here.

theres a small lng button that switches languages so when i type i can either choose arabic or english.

well if i have the phone interface set to english and press the lng button nothing happens. i am stuck with typing in english only.

if i have the phone interface set to arabic and press the lng button i can switch to english and type in both languages.

whats up with that?:confused:

I was never aware of this "language" button you speak of.. And I think I have the phone since September.
[HTC ChaCha] mosamjc:
Then you'd be familiar with alt-space, which brings up the international keyboard selection menu, which is most likely what he's talking about. I've noticed that it isn't very responsive sometimes and occasionally suffers a long delay before it appears if it appears at all. Most I've noticed this on the HTC Status' stock 2.3.3 and the stock EU 2.3.5 rom, so it's safe to say it's probably a minor bug in HTC's software.
[HTC ChaCha] cylent:
its the button to the right of the FN key. on some it says "Tab" ... but on mine it says Lng and has speaker icon for voice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
I'd say keeping it in a loose pocket without anything else in it. Also, try using a different case. Maybe something siliconey or soft might help.

I'm pretty sure there is a way to reduce the vibration intensity but it will probably be by editing something in root explorer. I haven't the slightest idea where to start, but hey, if you can change the lcd density by editing some scripts, u can change the vibration intensity somehow too.
