Hey sh4d0w86,

Thanks for the reply would this XSPL method brick my phone as i am on the latest update of mango? :/

could you shed some more light on this please :)

Thanks dude! :D
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
i wrote a tutorial. link in my signature.

not sure what else you want to know.

glad i could be of help.
[HD7 General] Faiz93:
sorry, can i just ask if this has been tested on Hd7 with a mango 7740 update?

and if my phone does get bricked is there anyway to restore it to its place?

just want to know everything before i make the move

Thanks for your help buddy
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
the tutorial is tested by numerous individuals that it works.

you could look at who Thank'ed Post #1 and ask them personally, if worried.

i personally haven't tested the downgrade of OSPL 5.xx method...

but it had gotten multiple successes.
[HD7 General] Faiz93:
okay thank you
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
you're welcome. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexsamaM:
Based on what criteria do people choose there custom rom's to use on phones?

I wanted to see what rom scores the best quadrant score, because i wanted to have a high-performance OS and not a 'flashy' one which would cause lag and battery drain.

For e.g. i had the miui mintbery rom which scored like 1700 score, after this i tried the F1 rom and i score always over 2300, so i choosed to stay on this rom. Some guys told me that scores on quadrant are irrelevants, why is that? are they talking about stability? which i see it's a 'always' problems on custom roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
quadrant scores are pretty much irrelevant. I find CM7 and ICS best roms out there. There are no force closes, they are stable (no random restarts) and battery is long lasting
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trex3491:
Its good to read up about the features and see what suits you.

I would recommend F1 Inovation (JVT) or ICS, running modified beta 2 atm.

You can always change till you find a good one to stick with
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blackstar84:
I have problem with my 3G network speed...I called the support for my operator..they told me to restart the phone..I thought have they not anything better to come with, but when I checked before I did reboot I got 0.12 mbit after reboot I got full speed of 3.5 mbit to my surprise..

I wonder does anyone else experience the same problem ?

The speed seem to be slower the longer the phone runs without reboot..

I have not installed any apps or anything at all..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
most likely your phone is set to auto switch between 2G/3G and it had dropped down to 2G due to a bad spot in coverage or a temp glitch in your carriers 3G service. a reboot would get you back onto 3G, which would explain your experience.

If it happens again, double check the network coverage icon and try going in/out of airplane mode or manually forcing 3G from the settings menu. Only if those measures DON'T fix your issue, but a reboot DOES, would there seem to be a real issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kirangarapati:
I agree with _pigro_.

I have been doing the same. This is cos of the way my cellphone carrier provides 3g in my city.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
Hello! Sorry for posting this here, Idk if this is the right area for this kind of thing but anyways lets get started!!

Im sorry if this had already been posted, I have searched the forums before to see If someone had found a solution while I was having the error!

Sorry for this, but I posted this already here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1370478 So moderators will you please delete the above post! Thanks so much!

This has happened to me so many times, I got frustrated, then I tried this out of the blue and it seemed to work..

Some examples of ROMS that froze on boot on my HTC EVO 3D HBOOT 1.5

All Infected ROMS

MIUI

Synergy

Senseless ROM

CleanRom

and some others..

These are the steps I took to fix the issue!

1. Flash ROM and see if it freezes on boot, if it does start below

2. After flashing rom and confirming that it does freeze.. Boot into bootloader (Power+volume down key) and press the power button while highlighted over fastboot.

3. Plug in your device into PC or MAC

4. Make sure you have the latest android SDK, im pretty sure you do if you have been flashing roms!

5. EXTRACT the .zip file of the ROM that you are using that freezes.

6. Open the folder and copy the boot.img from that ROM

7. Paste that .img into the folder that has your adb and fastboot files for the Android SDK!

8. in terminal navigate to that folder, and do the following commands

PC:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Ive done it on the PC and most of the time I have issues.. like failing of transferring over of the boot.img.. So far I don't know a way around this besides to keep trying!!

MAC:

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

Ive done it on my mac as well, and so far I have had no errors! It works everytime.

9. After that reboot your phone..

10. Watch in awe as your phone should reboot and not freeze!

Thank you for reading this!!

[HTC EVO 3D] xhazyx:
Your problem lies in your HBOOT 1.5.... you need to flash the kernel separately, either the way you described it, or I think theres an app called FlashGUI
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
or just access recovery from fastboot & flash like normal.

This should be moved
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowmike:
Lulz. 10 char.
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
This.

Maybe OP doesn't know about it so I'll guide him.

OP, we appreciate you trying to help but if you follow the steps below you should have no problem.

1. Download the Rom you want and place it on your sd card.

2. Plug your phone in to your computer and open a cmd file where 'adb' is located and type "adb reboot bootloader".

3. Your phone will now restart and boot into bootloader. Now type in "fastboot boot recovery.img". Your phone will now boot into your recovery.

(At this point, you can unplug your phone.)

4. Use the recovery as how you normally would and wipe/flash, etc.

Enjoy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
Yes I do this, and I still have to do what I provided up above. Idk what is wrong with my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowmike:
Your recovery can't flash kernels. Hence the boot loop.

There is a program in the evo3d theme and apps forum for us 1.5 boot loader users to flash the kernel using an app in android then you reboot to recovery and flash rom.

The app is called flash image GUI

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192527﻿

[APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode!
[HTC EVO 3D] dannyboyex:
If you use that app and flash the boot.img from the rom and then go into recovery and flash the rom it should work
[HTC EVO 3D] mocoyombiflash:
this worked for me it was hanging at the htc white logo screen did this steps and the phone passed the first boot logo and it turned on fine!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
That's due to not flashin a kernel right or you skipped a part of the wipe.

Virus has this guide for flashing the kernel on his page :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jthein1989:
The problem with using this "Flash Image GUI" is the FACT that if an individual can't boot a ROM, they obviously can't run the apk.

Individuals with HBOOT 1.5 have two choices in this situation (bootloop)...

Either

1. "adb reboot bootloader" after which you run "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img must be placed in fastboot directory), then you flash the ROM/kernel in question...

Or

2. Flash boot.img through fastboot (which is what the above "should" do in the fist place).

BTW: If you always have a problem with bootloops, you aren't loading recovery the way you should...

You can either run the commands mentioned earlier in this post, or go to

xdaforums.com/showthread.pho?t=1403148

and download the batch in the second post "jthein1989_batch.zip" (you will still need to download and copy the recovery.img to the folder).

Just download twrp or clockwork and copy it as "recovery.img" to the directory that you unzipped the batch to... Then, just follow the OP of my thread...
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
Maybe I'm a noob,

But you mean you can't select Recorery from Hboot menu? Even if you installed twrp? I don't know much of what I'm doing only had 3d for week. but its locks up at white HTC screen all the time. :(:(
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
Or you could try...

Fastboot boot my kernel or ill kill you.img
[HTC EVO 3D] jthein1989:
With HBOOT 1.5 you "can" start recovery without ABD, but "S-ON" will not allow you to properly flash to the BOOT partition (limitation of the HTC unlock method). Therefore, users with HBOOT 1.5 need to go to extra lengths to flash the BOOT partition.
[HTC EVO 3D] LionFreak:
Having HBOOT 1.5, I've ran into this very problem. I'm not sure if it's hardware or what, but my phone will not run any Sense 3.5 ROM's I've tried. The phone just won't boot! I gave up trying 3.5 ROM's. I used ABD to put a 3.0 kernel back on and restore the recovery and everything is fine again. This will probably be my last HTC phone. Hoping something better besides the S2 is coming soon.

[Motorola Droid X2] sknoxx:
Please bear with me

OK I have a rooted Dx2 ver. 2.3.3 i need to send in my Dx2 for replacement but Verizon told me they won't unless i have the current vers. of GB 2.3.4.

To unroot there is an app in the market that will remove it completely, including all the symbolic links, its called Ginger Unroot.

Ginger Unroot did the trick, i re-installed all the bloat ran Ginger Unroot, but i missed unfreezing 2 files i think they were "update" and "updater".

So when i went to settings - about phone - System Updates, but it does not work.

So i screwed up now i just want to root the phone and if the files are still there, unfreeze the the 2 files and unroot again and d/l the 2.3.4 OTA.

Here's where i really need help i was going to use Gingerbreak to root but i found out it is no longer supported i think it is because i'm running 2.3.3

I have been searching for days on what to do and all i have found out there does not appear that a one click root does not exist.

I have heard that i might have to SBF back to froyo??

Can i do it on a mac?

i'm worried that i will need to do it on a pc.

Also what version of windows do i need to use?

If i have to SBF can i d/l the files and go to an internet cafe or kinkos and use a pc to do this?

Here's an example are the drivers for the phone or are they meant to be run on a pc, would an internet cafe or kinkos let me do this installing software on their computers.

*Install the necessary moto drivers*

* Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.1.0 32bit or 64bit depending on your computer's CPU architecture

First do you know if i do gain root again will the 2 files show up or have they been

deleted, gone forever.

If this is the only way, can someone tell me exactly what i need to do. I don't want to try to follow any posts because if im at a kinkos or someplace i can access a pc. i don't want to wind up getting stuck or not understanding something.

If i can get to a pc i see that you need to use terminal commands, if i have to do it that way i'll be lost and screw up something.

Please help i don't want to get to a place that i might not fully understand

In other words a Dumbed down set of instructions.

I'm not knocking forums but because of my disability i get lost and frustrated with all the info you can find. I really need to get any help from one person, i get very confused easly

Which method do you recommend/easies: It seems Wugfresh has a one click vers. which is still confusing. I have come across other posts on how to reroot which is making it nearly impossible to follow.

I am really burned out, please tell me what you recommend.

To be frank i would just like to return it as is, do you think i can get away with this?

Thanks

Made a noticeable bump in speed for me. Excellent! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
Thanks for the app, sometimes I just felt it's a shame that you have to download a third party app to boost up the phone or do anything normally which the every smartphones must have when it born. This is why everyone is rooting as stock rom sucks?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Thanks for the find robdee102.

Are there any other settings we can change to increase the speed of the phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
The device doesnt get any faster, its deception. The length of the animated transition equals about the time needed for the application to load. Turning off the animation or setting it to happen faster only results in the animation being finished before the app's interface is fully loaded and the user looking at a blank black or white screen for a split second... Because the zoom or swipe effect happens faster one gets the feeling the device actually being faster; which in reality it isn't.

Thanks for listening. My 2¢.

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robdee102:
Good explanation, i like the look of it with faster animations. And yeah gives the impression of a quicker device. Better than slowwwww...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Yeah, there's DEFINATELY a difference, it feels more responsive, going through menus, etc...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
I'm not denying it feels quicker. On the contrary. But because everyone around you suddenly walks slow doesnt make you walk any quicker ;-)

It was very noticeable on older devices with only 500ish MHz and 192MB of RAM, like the original G1/Dream/Sapphire and the likes. Those guys needed the extra time to launch an app and load the UI. Now with 1Gig, dedicated GPU and dualcore CPUs we are talking milliseconds. It really doesnt matter anymore...

A shame not all functions of Spareparts are supported though...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] juandpineiro:
Hello I'm new to Samsung Galaxy Ace forums. I got the phone a couple of days ago :D So far it has been great.

The only thing I kinda miss from my previous phone is LED notifications. I did a little research and found an app (here in XDA and in the Android Market) called BLN or Backlight Notifications. The app is supposed to be used on the Samsung Galaxy S series phones with modified kernel (BLN-enabled kernel). Those phones, obviously, don't have LED either. The kernel mod and the app allow for the use of touch or capacitive buttons backlight as a LED notification.

Would it be possible to do such modifications to Samsung Galaxy Ace kernel? I mean, there's hope it can be done? I don't wanna waste anyone's time but I think it would be great to have this feature on our phones :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amrith.28:
yes it's possible.

if u wanna use stock rom, then get "CF ROOT KERNEL" (pls search in the forum here :) )

otherwise, Cyanogenmod rom comes with a kernel which has BLN enabled.

I'm currently on CyanogenMod 7.2 I'm giving it a shot :D

Hey everyone,

I am currently setting up my Phone with Oxygen and an ICS theme. However, I'd like to have the Messaging Icon in blue instead of green (like the phone app icon). Problem is, I have no idea how to change/edit this. So if someone would be so kind to do this for me it would be amazing and highly appreciated :)

I have attached the Messages Icon and the Phone Icon. Thanks in advance!

On a sidenote: I am also looking for any ICS style themed app icons (especially Whatsapp and XDA) that fit nicely with the existing ICS icons. Haven't really found anything like it yet...For Facebook and YouTube i used the socialmedia icons ("Social store") from dembsky. I am simpyl looking for icons with kind of an ICS 3d icon feel...

Devs, please move this as my question has been answered and i would like it to be easily accessible to other Conquer owners. Thank you.

I take absolutely no credit for this method.

Thanks goes to the creaters of SuperOneClick and to dray_jr bringing this method to my attention.

Here is a quick Guide to Rooting your Samsung Conquer 4G

1. Download Super One Click Root 2.3.1(below)

2. Extract the rar to any location you choice

3. On your phone click Menu, Settings, Application, Development and check USB Debugging.

4. Open SuperOneClick

5. Plug your phone in to the USB

6. Click Root and watch it do its thing

When it is done it should have installed SuperUsers and you should now be rooted.

At this time there is no Roms or Recoverys so the only thing we benifit from is some apps and being able to remove some of the clutter.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
This would be better suited and answered in the General Forum of XDA. My search of it yields no results in root yet but I'd be patient and someone will eventually. They've already released source code for the phone so it shouldn't be too hard when an experienced dev gets a hold of it.

I don't know of any other Heroc devs getting this phone so that's why I suggest posting this along with the other people hoping to achieve root. This only gets attention of Heroc devs who mostly all moved to the shooter 3vo (me also soon). Plus with ICS development going on most of us have got our plates pretty full. At least i know I do.

Figured I'd post at least something for you since no one else responded.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JWhip804:
thanks Matt. I assumed all of the above but I figured id still reach outer to all you guys. Been with you guys for almost 2 years now and know yall are damn good at what you do. Didnt know whether or not someone could use source to try and achieve root with me being the tester.

Now get back to bringing me a beautiful ICS rom lol. J/k enjoying it all for now but moving to Evo 3d in January.

Thanks again. Please move or delete this thread.

i was able to with no questions at all. i have Titanum Backup Root Fully working.

I also tried installing a custom recovery it gave me 2 options Epic and GalaxyS i9000 i tried both just to try with no luck. i might sit down today and look into getting a recovery and or Rom to work but i am not fimilar with doing this but i am still going to try

Once i start i will be making a thread with updates on how it is going. What i would like to see on this phone is of course a clockwork recovery. But also i want a Rom with Sprint ID removed along with the rest of the bloat ware. other then that the phone it self runs great minus a few bugs here and there with some games not booting up or randomly kicking me to the home screen.

but anyway i hope everyone enjoys the root we have now
