[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Thanks bro. I got it. I flashed entropy s root + stock tar file in Odin then applied the update and everything went great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rivendell:
Same for me, used entropy's root + stock ROM then updated OTA successfully.

I did have to unfreeze a bunch of AT&T bloatwares before the OTA, as I heard people failed in OTA update because of missing or removal bloatware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
No joy for me.:( Tried 3 times with a stock/rooted phone and failed each time. I have some bloatware removed, so that must be the problem. Leaving it alone until I figure out which custom ROM I want to run. Phone is running great for me now, anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Juwper:
I've tried everything and I can not get S-OFF. I do all the tutorials and there is no way to manage to get on my Magic S-OFF.

Someone help me? I searched the forums but there is nothing similar.

I have:

Hboot 1.76.2007

CPLD 12

Radio 6.35.08.29

I tried switching to another radio, but when I fastboot gives me error: failed <remote: signature verify fail>

thank you

Try flash stock rom again by following this manual: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5526163&postcount=1

Download Hboot 1.76.2007 from 4shared: http://www.4shared.com/file/G3v1xc0I/update-hboot-1762007-signed.html

Use patched recovery: http://www.4shared.com/file/_JJa2Chb/ra162_635.html

When you will flash hboot (from recovery) - follow instructions on screen. Don't reboot until text will appear...

Still can't have S-OFF

Thanks for your reply.

I tried what you told me, but couldn't do it.

The phone is rooted, I installed DietGingerbread and everything is working, but I have problems with battery (drains in about 1 day without doing anything, just being turned on - already callibrated it), my Bluetooth also doesn't work, I try to turn it on but it turns off automatically.

Any other help?

Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
I think, it's problem with this custom rom only. Try another...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Juwper:
Thank you for your replies.

I don't think it is the ROM. Let me post what is my feeling about it. My feeling is only for what I sense, not from any other knowledge, I am pure amateur.

Problems came out when I installed CM 7.2 and clicked fix permissions on ROM Manager. After that, phone got lots of problems, so I thought...better to install everything new from scratch so I put the latest RUU oficial from HTC and wanted to do the whole routine to root and take S-OFF.

The thing is I never could put S-OFF anymore, and believe me I tried everything...and asked a friend for help who couldn't do it as well.

Now my problem is this:

Battery lasts less than 1 day without any major use, not even internet or wifi.

Bluetooth doesn't work

Think kernel might have anything to do with this? I have carz latest kernel. Is there a way to bring the original kernel back?

Thanks for the help guys, I really need it!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Man, you wrote too many words and i'm confusing with it (s-off, custom, kernel, bluetooth... what a mess!)... what EXACTLY do you want first? Do you still want get S-OFF???

To get S-OFF you must follow manual in second post of this topic...

What problems do you have with this manual? Did you flash rom? Did you flash custom recovery? Did you flash engineering hboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Juwper:
Sorry for all the words, but I have lots of problems with my Magic.

After that ROM Manager Fix Permission thing, my phone is a mess!

I tried every tutorial on the web and S-OFF is not there. Flashed ROM, installed custom recovery (tried with some of them) and when I flash eng hboot nothing happens. I restart the phone but S-ON is still there.

My friend tried it as well but no S-OFF comes out.

I still want S-OFF, I think after that problems should be solved, but I wrote the other problems because it could help you help me.

Thanks again for your patience
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Wait, wait... Here is checklist.

0. Does your SPL-info in first post changed by something? You must have 1.76.XXXX / 6.35.XX.XX to get S-OFF...

1. Did you install custom recovery AmonRa 1.6.2 patched by cursordroid? I posted link in second post...

2. Reboot into recovery (Home + Power) - what version do you see?

3. Did you download hboot 1.76.2007 from my post?

4. Copy 1.76.2007 zip-file to root of sdcard, boot into recovery and choose 'flash zip from sdcard', point to this archive and follow instructions...

5. After all, turn phone off, then turn on by pressing Back + Power... what SPL-info now? Write first 5 rows (all symbols are important)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Juwper:
Yes, I did all that on the first reply you told me.

Right now I have:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Too sad to be truth... :(

Perhaps, things like gfree or incfree can help... but there is no gfree for Magic/Sapphire.

Here are incfree sources:

https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/master/guhl

To build version that is compatible with Sapphire/Magic we need change some code (memory addresses, partition names and etc..) or we need find coder who will change this code.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
I'll show you some magic :0)

Issue this command from fastboot and you will have your s-off:

fastboot oem eraseconfig

Enjoy :0)

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

To everyone else:

Try to not mix things together.

There are many settings that have nothing to do with ROMs.

The above example is perfect. He could flash as many roms he wanted... he will still be s-on. That's because the secu.flag was set in "bios" of the phone... The reset command should take care of that... but we are changing things in bios... not in the OS.

I could write a full article to show case my point... but does not have the time..

I hope the words are of little help :0)

No. :(

[Motorola Droid RAZR] harris.milist:
Is there any app in Market that can provide this function for razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] con5tant:
ScreenShooter ER works fine but you need to be rooted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] harris.milist:
What if I don't have the root access? Any apps support this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
No root screenshot it works well on the razr. It does require you to connect the phone to a computer for the initial setup, and you need to reconnect it to a computer everytime you reboot your phone. The app is also about $5. I'd wait for ICS unless you really need this capability now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onemotodroid:
try pulling "Screen Grabber apk" from one of the X2 ROMs

it work GREAT on the Razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] harris.milist:
Anyone can provide this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] harris.milist:
this is what i mean:p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
I am using DDMS from Android SDK Suite. Yeah, you need to connect your phone to PC, but, still usable. :)

Here I attached my Home screen. BTW, I change the default Motoblur to stock Gingerbread Launcher2. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] harris.milist:
how do you do this exactly? sorry newbie
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
ddms is a part of Android SDK suite which you can download from android.com . This suite is Android software development kit for PC/Mac/GNU/Linux. Download the suite and related packages, enable Debugging mode in RAZR, connect to PC, and start the ddms program. This program is a java based program, which use adb to pull framebuffer from the phone and convert it to PNG format.

Beside using ddms, I explained how to use adb and ffmpeg to pull and convert the framebuffer into PNG in this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20567738

You can look/google for ddms tutorials for further information.

There are several screen capture apps in Market which not requires rooting. I use this one, but, the developer need to add RAZR resolution to make it usable. Yeah, I choose this app and I don't mind the extra steps, because it is FREE. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] punalex:
I will receive my galaxy nexus few hours later and plan to unlock my phone. Is there a way to hide the unlock logo after I unlock the bootloader or Can I unlock the bootloader, then root the phone and relock the bootloader after to clear the logo but still get the root access. If yes, then how to relock the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
fastboot oem lock will re-lock the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] punalex:
But will I still get the root access of my phone after I relock the bootloader and will the unlock logo disappear when boot up after I relock the bootloader?

p.s. It is retail version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
why do you need it locked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] punalex:
I don't like the unlock logo at bootup and the warranty detail only state that I will lost the warranty if I unlock the bootloader, so relock it in case I need warranty, it may cheat them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
so then you relock it if you need to. Development for this phone is very young right now so you'll likely be doing alot of flashing. I flash different rom/kernel combinations probably 3-5 times a day with how often things are updating right now. Besides the little unlock symbol is pretty awesome :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] punalex:
I know the development is young, that's why I post this. I just need to confirm

1) Is it possible to relock the bootloader in retail version

2) Will the unlock logo disappear after relock

3) Will the phone can still get the root access after relock the bootloader

Thx very much and please reply me if anyone know!!:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
1) Yes, "fastboot oem lock"

2) Yes

3) Yes, while "fastboot oem lock" does not touch any of your data, "fastboot oem unlock WILL delete all your data. None of these processes can remove root access, the only way to remove it is to reflash the system partition, either by flashing it manually or through an OTA update.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReekaJean:
I just purchased a NC yesterday and I've had a great time playing around with it. I am running the Nook 1.4.1 OS internally and using my SD card to boot MIUI 1.11.4.

I've searched all over the web and I've not been able to find any straight answers one way or another -- is there a way to delete the apps that are obviously meant for a phone? The camera, phone, dialer, messaging, etc apps are pointless on the NC and I'd like to get rid of them. Especially since I can't just delete them off of the desktop in MIUI.

Has anyone been able to do this before?

Thanks a ton!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldzman218:
AFAIK, there is no way to do this without titanium backup. TiB is available in the market for root users
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwong96:
If you are rooted and have superuser installed, you can use root explorer or es file explorer (with allow root explorer and mount file system as writable Checked in settings) to delete system apps in system/apps. Removing system apps may render apps incompatible with device. Use TitaniumBackup for insurance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReekaJean:
Yeah, I tried all of that but I couldn't get system rw permissions on anything.

Finally found a few tutorials on editing custom roms, and I did that to delete the pointless apps. Getting ready to flash it back onto the NC, so we'll see if it works. :D

Luckily, I haven't put anything on the nook at all that I would need to save/back up. All I've done the past 48 hours since getting the NC is try out different custom roms to see which one I want to stick with. LOL. And I'm doing it all on the SD card so I can keep the native nook functionality. :)

Thanks for the replies though. <3
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdaddy:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:
Seconded! I deleted Gtalk one time (it was constantly FCing even when it was running in the background) and the android market stopped working until I put it back on.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
There is no real good reason for doing this and a lot of bad ones. They do not use up much if any resources and some apps may make calls to them even though they are not technically used. I would leave well enough alone....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrStead123:
I agree with leaving most stuff alone, but the problesm I'm running into is that the new market fc's. I can uninstall the updates to market and it works fine, but market updater updates it again shortly thereafter. I need to freeze or uninstall market updater, but anything I've tried to use can't mount /system. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
You can uninstall the market updater with Titanium Backup.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disynthetic:
mounting /system is quite easy with root explorer. I've experimented a lot with removing system apps. I move them into a new sub folder within /system, so I can put them back if something becomes unstable, but for the most part I run a really light /system folder that boots even quicker than without.

root explorer needs to have the "browse as root" option checked in its settings, and then, when you are in the system folder, you need to press "mount r/w" at the top of the screen.

If you just want to optimize battery, removing phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk get the best net benefit. After that, I recommend creating a shortcut to Settings/Accounts & Sync so that you can turn off background data and Automatic Syncing when you are not actively using them. They draw a lot of power over the course of a day. I find that with them off during screen off and wifi off, the battery will not diminish for many days.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
I recently flashed the 1.4 cm-1.4-240-325-300 kernel and when i run let my phone run up to 1.4, in set cpu with 216 min and 1400 max. My phones cpu seems to run really hot, i have a profile set to let me know if it goes over 50 degrees Celsius and if i play with phone for more than maybe 10 or 20 minutes with a few apps it seems to jump to 50-55 degrees Celsius, not even any super graphics intense games or anything, just opera mini and stock messaging app mainly. Is the temp reader in Setcpu off? The phone doesn't seem to feel all too insanely hot in my hand, and its definitely been hotter before even before overclocking, atleast to the touch. My question is what is a "safe range" for the Tegra 2 in our phone? Ive read that in general about 50 Celsius is recommend. Also any recommendations for ways to easily monitor my cpu temps without having to pull open all menus in Setcpu, maybe an app that runs in notification bar?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Miquiztli:
since its winter time your phone is just being smart and activating its handwarmer functions...

well according to the manual don't recharge it when its above 45 celsius and don't expose it to temperatures above 60 celsius... so yeah running a lil hot... have you under volted at all? if it gets to hot it will also start doing silly stuff like crashing and such. so keep an eye on it, and be a tad concerned maybe add a few case fans... oh wait wrong subject :P...

Dont trust this but my kernels will limit the clock on overheat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
It would figure that a question like this would come up AFTER I deleted the ton of datasheets for the Tegra2. If I remember correctly, the max is around 60C. Your biggest concern is cooking the battery if plugged into a charger/dock while running that hot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Yes im undervolting, rather heavy, imo atleast. At 216 mhz im at -175 mv with no issues whatsoever.. and at 1400 mhz im undervolting by -100 mv. Undervolting should make the phone cooler, am i correct? And thanks to all who posted, especially with the specific temps and apps, huge help!
