Just to confirm, the gold card is required.

So happy to finally have s-off. Very annoying not being able to use OTA updates.

Can this method of downgrading to HBoot 1.13 be used after unlocking the HBoot 1.16 via HTC method?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
There should be no problems using this downgrade with unlocked boot. Be aware though that when downgraded, the 1.13 may be locked... until you use revolutionary of course :)

Have to try this on my girlfriend's IncS. Haven't had any luck making goldcards though.. never seems to work for me :(

Should be able to restore her nandroid backup once it's all done though, right?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Yes, as soon as the s-off process is complete you can restore nandroid or any other backup with no fear of losing s-off.

Cant seem to get it working

Hey guys, I gave this a try last night with no success.

I have 2 IncS, 1 came with HBOOT 1.13, and the other 1.16. I have made a gold card in the past for my first IncS so that I could get temp root access and upgrade using an RUU without issues, but this time i ran into a few problems.

The second IncS has been unlocked via HTC dev, is rooted and has ARHD 1.19 on it (HBOOT 1.16)

Followed the guide exactly as described, but when I got to the point of running the IncS downgrader, there were a couple of errors (sorry, forgot to note them down), but by the time the process got to the end, it reported that is completed successfully?

When I ran the RUU, it said i was upgrading from 2.30.405.1 to 2.30.405.1? I was expecting to see from version 1? I got an error pretty soon saying I need to use the correct RUU to upgrade, and couldn't get any further.

So then I ran the downgrader again, but half way it got stuck in a boot loop. I left it alone, and 5 mins later, the batch file completed (without errors), but remained in the boot loop. I waited another 10, but it never left the boot loop, so I continued with the RUU upgrade. This time it told me i was upgrading from version 1 to 2.30.405.1, it got a little further (deleting user data, then sending....), but stopped again.

Removed battery, rebooted into fastboot mode. Ran the downgrader again, and it completed successfully without any issues! Ran the RUU, this time it got a little further again, it told me it was deleting user data, then sending.......

Eventually it threw another error, and remained on the black screen with the HTC logo (no progress bar, and nothing in the corners either)

I removed the battery and booted into bootloader. It went into what looks like the usual bootloader screen, only the following message was displayed:

ruu error

Security Check Failed!

At this point i thought I would have to restore the nandroid backup i made before beginning this process, but when i put the original micro SD card in and booted normally, the rom was exactly as i left it!

I did this on Windows 7, with all drivers installed (I use this notebook for android app development, so I know the SDK and drivers are complete, and my first IncS is used for debugging apps), and I used a very old 256Mb micro SD card to create the gold card.

I know it's a lot to ask, but any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Thanks for the feedback arhidi, sorry to hear that you're having problems.

Security check failed points to a problem with the goldcard try creating it again using the steps in the guide.

Try turning fast boot mode off if you haven't already (Settings » Power » Fastboot)

Please run the downgrader while the phone is booted normally (charge mode) as the temproot could be negated between leaving fastboot and booting the rom.

I'm assuming you are using a stock rom, the RUU should be reporting that you are "upgrading" from a higher version to a lower version.

One last thing, the phone should not be rebooting through the main version downgrading process (runme.bat) if it does please run it again before continuing to the RUU downgrade step.

If you receive errors in the main version downgrade, please note them and report back.

Good luck :)

Edit: sorry didn't see you're rooted and running custom rom

An alternative to running the runme.bat you can just copy the misc_version to your ADB folder and enter the following commands:

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
exit

Then run the RUU
[HTC Incredible S] arhidi:
I have a spare 2Gb micro SD, I'll try creating a gold card with that instead.

I'll try that instead, was going to look at those scripts but then ran out of time.

Thanks again.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
No problem, let me know how it goes. The guide was actually written for stock ROM but it should be able to work with custom.
[HTC Incredible S] arhidi:
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Can you restore back to stock rom? The ruu must be checking the installed from before it updates.
[HTC Incredible S] st.matt:
If you're getting error 155 and your gold card definitely works then try going into fastboot before starting the RUU downgrade.
[HTC Incredible S] tangcla:
How do we know if the goldcard definitely works?
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
As far as I know there's no software to verify the creation of the gold card. The only way to know for sure is if the card mounts properly and works with the ruu downgrade.
[HTC Incredible S] tangcla:
Ok - it's sending now... let's hope it works!

[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
This should work for other phones besides ours where WiFi breaks if you're using the zeppelinrox scripts.

Scenario:

Using zep's v6 supercharger and kick ass kernelizer and they play fine. Add the 3g turbocharger and you can't connect to any WiFi networks.

The quick way to fix:

Copy these scripts to your sd card and set them to run at boot from script manager and use the 3g turbocharger script like you have been.

The options I used when running the v6 Supercharger in the supercharger file I attached was option 5 since it's for 512MB memory phones (like ours) and the Nitro Lag Nullifier.

Here's the steps if you don't want to use my choices:

Run the V6 Supercharger and Kick Ass Kernelizer and make your tweak changes as you normally would.

Use a file manager and copy your generated 98KickAssKernel.sh and 99SuperCharger.sh from /system/etc/init.d/ to your SD card.

Now rerun both scripts and undernelize/uninstall your tweaks.

Confirm the 2 scripts above aren't in the init.d folder after you ran the script uninstallers. If they stayed after the uninstall delete them with a file manager.

Delete the supercharger lines from /data/local/userinit.sh with a text editor.

Run these two at boot and with root credentials from Script Manager or another scripting app (I use another script app but that's just me).

Now run the 3G Turbocharger and it'll do it's own thing and not screw up Wifi this time.

With the 3G tweaks I ran the speedtest.net app and benchmarked my 3G speeds a few times and did notice maybe 50% gains on my 3G speeds- so in that regard I think the 3G and kernelizer scripts are more apparent then the v6 supercharger script for me.
[Optimus V Android Development] exProphecy:
My problem with the 3G turbocharger isn't actually the wifi breaking, it's my notification power widgets breaking. I found if I supercharge options 7 and 13 then use KAK, it works fine. But when I use the turbocharger, my notification power widgets get all tweaky. Wifi seems fine for me though. ...any chance this fix happens to fix that issue as well? o.O

Edit: oh yeah I should clarify on how the notification power widgets break. The orientation button doesn't work, the status bar brightness control doesn't stick if you turn the screen off, brightness button doesn't work, etc.

OH and I've tried the experimental #1 and also the known max values option. Both break it =[
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Yeah. I don't know about that. I use other power notification buttons than those. One of them being for brightness because I never liked the status bar one.
[Optimus V Android Development] freddysam:
Do these scripts even help? I tried the supercharger script, but it didn't do anything besides kill all apps that I lowered. It pretty much killed multitasking. It didn't speed up any apps or let them load faster.

How does this 3G script work? What values does it change? I'm very skeptical of these things. My 3g speeds vary second by second. You really need repeated extended test to get an accurate average.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
I'll see if I can scrounge up some links on the values that get changed with the 3G script. They're kinda spread all over the interwebs in various forums. Zeppelinrox did do a good job of pulling them together in his script.

As for the v6 script I'm one of those guys he doesn't like. I've tried testing his script following his steps to monitor the effects of OOM grouping modifications and don't see any difference before and after using his script. That being said I still use the v6 script because it became part of my routine on ROM upgrades.
[Optimus V Android Development] jawz101:
Can someone send me their build.prop file from a phone that hasn't done the 3g tweaks? I want to see if any of these values even exist on our phones out of the box. A lot of the ro.ril values it adds/adjusts are mainly documented for GSM network phones which Virgin Mobile is not- we're on a CDMA network.

The cover is glued to the phone or not?

Could be consequences for this procedure, can i compromit the air gap?

I don't want remove a speck of dust and then with the use collect 100 of them :o:o:o.

If i get the phone to service, i will lose all my mods :D.

Please, say me is a safety procedure and very very easy.

The neo doesn't have an air gap, Arc only. I think you will get only more dust, I had the samebon my older SE phone l

Via Tapatalk 2.0 on ICS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maRRRco89:
Do you speak about the disassembly ?

Of course if you don't pay care, you can get more dust, you have to be fast and precise, not opening all the glass, but only a bit.

In someway the employe had to assembly it during the process and perhaps a little speck of dust remained between lcd and glass, but is is too visible under sun light.

If a careless employe allowed the access of a speck of dust, i can do better because i have not hurry, so i'm not worried about more dust during this process.

I ask you this question only to know if can enter more dust when the phone is again assembled.

Now, apart this speck of dust just out of the box, never entered dust in these months.

Hi,

I've disassemble my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V yesterday and mounted it again now with a white housing, but now whenever I make a call, as soon as I press on the CALL button the screen automatically goes black... as it happens with we put the phone in contact with our ear or head.

I disassemble and assemble it again a few times but still the same problem...

I'm guessing I've messed up the sensor, but I can not be sure...

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance,

How do you detach the digitizer and sensors from the front plate? The glue doesn't really give and I'm scared of breaking the ribbon cable. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] JMSpurs:
I'd like to know too please... though I've already broken the ribbon cable and am replacing the digitizer...

EDIT

Actually I meant I broke the small ribbon cable but anyway. I found out how to do it, take a thin, small and sharp knife then very gently cut away the glue, it should come off very easily. Then slowly prise the connected section of the phone, I don't know the name but the part with the orange cables. You will have to cut away more glue and you will also have to prise it off the rubber as it is quite firmly stuck in the rubber. Hope I helped, this image should help you figure what should dis-attach from the casing.

Champagne Gold device looks like white gold, it is mostly silver with a slight touch of yellow hue in the mix. Quite visible here on an actual photo: http://www.engadget.com/photos/transformer-prime-preview-dock/#4651723

Amethyst Gray is a dark gray with purple hue, like on this photo: http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/transformer-prime-review-06.jpg

The renders that Asus has put up should not be trusted. Best you can do is go and see the device yourself and if that is not possible, then rely on photos more than Asus promotional images.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MinusTheOh:
I'm surprised so many people are going for the gray. To me, the champagne color gives it a very...premium look? I'm not sure how to describe it, I guess it makes it looks like a better version of the back of an iPad 2 or Galaxy Tab 10.1. I only see a little bit of a yellow tint to it, and when they first revealed it (before officially announced in November), that color just blew me away. Just my two cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] speedrabbit:
I've used a Kindle Fire and a Nook Tablet. I'm thinking about purchasing a Tab 7.0 Plus, but I'm wondering if anyone with experience with either the Nook or Fire can comment on how the screen compares on the 7.0+, especially with regards to the level of glare. I found the Fire has significantly more glare than the NT did, to the point of being significantly less usable in places with overhead lighting.

I imagine the 7.7's Super AMOLED display would improve on things a bit, but who knows when that'll arrive and how much more it'll cost..

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] theundeadelvis:
I had a Nook Tablet. Returned it, and got the Plus. The screen is great. There's definitely more glare than the nook, buy I think it's less than the fire. I think a screen protector would make it perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
It may not be officially IPS but much much better than the A100!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Jcyber777:
does the 7 plus have a AMOLED Screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] abszer0:
No, the 7 Plus uses PLS LCD developed by Samsung. It is quite similar to IPS (iPad, Asus Transformer) in terms of viewing angles. The Tab 7.7 is supposed to be the first tablet with AMOLED screen, but will unlikely be available in the U.S. due to the ongoing patent war between Samsung and Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skeeterpro:
Have seen the 7.7 offered on a couple overseas websites. Priced from around $600-$750! Not real sure an extra .7" and AMOLED would justify such a price difference.
