[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
I bought this 3D used but like new and wanted to flash it to Boost so I was doing some preliminary pre-flash things like rooting and loading a custom recovery and rom. I used the HTC unlock method for the bootloader and flashed Eternity and it stuck at Beats screen (boot animation). I downloaded a different rom to see if it was the rom but that one froze at the animation screen as well. I attempted to do an RUU stock reset on my PC from bootloader but it returned an error saying update failed. I'm basically locked out of this phone. I read everything it said about flashing custom kernels and how you are supposed to flash them from bootloader. I know Eternity has a stock kernel don't know about the other one. My last resort is to download a zip of a stock rom and flash that from recovery. If it freezes on me I'm not sure what I'll do next. Any help is appreciated...
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Did you follow the root instructions all the way through to install Superuser and the recovery? If so, did you boot into fastboot, connect usb, then do the fastboot boot recovery.img before flashing the rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
I did not use that method to flash, no. I'm assuming you mean from my PC execute the command. I did follow the instructions to install TWRP which is a custom recovery and I flashed a ZIP from TWRP for Superuser and checked it to be working which it was. (I tested Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator for root)

I was operating off the assumption that custom roms with a STOCK kernel could be flashed by booting into recovery. I went to bootloader then recovery then flashed the rom. Obviously I did something wrong since both roms wouldn't load. I will use your method of PC commands from fastboot into recovery and see where that gets me....pease let me know if this is correct or anything else I need to do....thanks a bunch.
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
UPDATE : I tried the method of loading recovery from fastboot usb - it worked thank you. The rom loaded. I'm wondering why since it was a custom rom with a stock kernel why I couldn't flash it from recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
While the kernel is stock, Virus has a bunch of binaries and such that will be mismatched without flashing the boot.img properly ... So while some of his builds say "stock" not always completely stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
cool cool thanks for the info. So I need to load the recovery.img file from usb fastboot EVERY time I want to flash a rom? Any way to eliminate this hassle....I just assume flash less often if not...thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
With hboot 1.5, the ONLY way to flash a ROM correctly is with fastboot>recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Not true. You can flash a ROM but if you don't use fastboot it won't touch the kernel. I always change roms with the stock kernel. He must have done something wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
If the kernel is pure stock with no added binaries or stuff it will work. Virus puts lots of little tweaks in that require it. Now if you can load a completely stock kernel and ramdisk then load Eternity (of course some eternity builds did have a completely stock kernel) then you may be onto something.

As far as flashing with hboot 1.50 easiest way to do that without the computer is with joeykrm's flash image gui. I don't have 1.50 but I have used his gui to do partial updates on svn builds in tandem with adb sync and it works great. His post with the apk is in development section. just read the instructions and flash away.
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
Yeah I read all about it I'm still stuck on why if I had a stock kernel installed with a stock rom and I do a custom rom flash and as stated it doesn't touch the kernel why the rom wouldn't simply run off the stock kernel - that's what confuses me. I understand the issue of the kernel not being flashed which is obviously what happened with me. I just don't really know where I stand with what kernel to ALWAYS have loaded since if that's the thing with the issue I would want to for purposes of not doing tons of work stay away from flashing kernels and stick to flashing roms when I want to change it up. But if the STOCK kernel won't load with a custom rom which technically it should I guess I'll just have to flash a universal custom kernel and assume any rom I flash will simply use that kernel. Kind of a nightmare compared to my 4G....welcome to the world of the 3D I guess.

I guess going into recovery from hboot with the volume and power buttons wouldn't count - I have to stick with PC commands?

Hi

I think I have a big problem.

Today I receive an update. It was only 3.5 mb. I install it and phone reboots into cwm recovery and not attempting update at all. So I have tried wipe all the data plus factory reset but the phone was rebooting into recovery all the time.

So I use emergency restore from lg

Software and I have this

Any idea how to fix this?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
While I didn't get any notification for updates, what's actually your received updates that need to be flashed via CWM Recovery (and not attempting at all)?

And how to fix it, perhaps you should try to unbrick it..
[LG Optimus Black] omen-am:
I have been informed by update utility in my phone there is an update. So the phone download this update and reboots. After reboot it enter to cwm and that's was all. Cwm did nothing.
[LG Optimus Black] omen-am:
After doing unbrick method I've got this

It's in polish and it's saying software update. It's keeps looping after reboot with the same screen.
[LG Optimus Black] omen-am:
I think unbrick method did not flash my phone. It stay on 4% even when my phone was rebooted to update screen.
[LG Optimus Black] ontour:
try recovery with b2c app. Worked for me.

1 - put phone in recovery mode: Volume+ key and usb cord.

2 - start b2c app, select recovery

EDIT: the app will download latest firmware from internet
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Perhaps that's just "screen bugs" that shows 4% (I've had the same experience) but it will get to 100%, pay attention to the progress logs.

Hmm... my stock Cyanogen Incredible never checks for subscription status when I turn on Mobile Hotspot, it was included on my phone and I'm therefore able to turn it on without any cost necessary...

Go here:

http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/index.html?p=5801&m

And then check out the "Portable Hotspot" section, and as you go through the tutorial as soon as the user hits the checkbox for Hotspot it checks for a subscription...

I use portable hotspot everyday and I planned not to root my GNex when I get it... I guess this means I must? :-\

Root + barnacletether or wifitether (both available from code.google.com IIRC, you have to enable sideloading), or leave it stock and pay for pdanet or similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
So if I flash a new ROM = "subscription" checking is taken out? God damn it... so ridiculous of VZW :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Are these already ICS compatible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes. CyanogenMod isn't reporting to VZW that you're tethering LOL. Rooting and removing VZW tether tracking software or installing a custom ROM will let you tether for free.

Did you really expect Verizon to let people tether for free on their network? You've got to be kidding me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
Has anything been released yet to remove the tracking software?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
HSPA/GSM tethering uses unmolested AOSP tethering. There is some interaction back to Verizon one Verizon GN.

Tested this on an AT&T SIM, T-Mobile US SIM and a Vodafone Australia SIM - all not subscribed to any tethering plans - all worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
Darned Verizon. I hope someone finds a workaround soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blakerboy777:
I suspect it's under settings.db--> secure but I'm not brave enough to poke around in there. You can probably change it the same way you do on the Droid Bionic, but it's just in a different place or titled differently.

Android-wifi-tether is working now(WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-pre110) still has a couple bugs which are being worked on, but it connects fine. I'm using it now on an LTE GNX.

Don't know about Barnacle, haven't looked in to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JewRican:
Can anyone do a system dump for the LTE Nexus to get me the stock recovery file?

Or better yet, anyone who has unlocked bootloader and run cwm, have you the update installed?

When i try i get an exclamation at install. Saw one other with it and it sounds as though it may be CWM that is causing it? Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cykotix:
There is no CWM recovery for the LTE GNexus yet, only the GSM version.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Leirithias:
I really find this fun and nice but the distorting effect of Siyah Kernel text is a bit overused i think. and you should use a smaller font for "by Gokhan Moral"

and before i use this, any ways of backuping original one?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] PedroMRP:
Looks nice!

But if you allow, I think that the main text should be Galaxy SII and below the "Siyah kernel" and in small letters "by GohkanMoral".

Those are the only changes that I would make.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KcDaRookie:
You are free to make your own version, this is a homage to Gokhan so I used this fontsize.

Overused? Its just round left and back again... o.o also there are no other effects or animations so i dont see this as overused.. o.o

But you can always open the bootanimation zip and delete the pictures that represent the second distorting if you want ^^

No need to backup original, the kernel looks for bootanimation.zip and if none exists it will play the original, so you just need to delete the bootanimation.zip and the default will play.

Naa i wanted to emphasize that this kernel is by Gokhan, i like the sizes and proportions, in the first version there was no "for Samsung Galaxy SII" at all...

I added that later on.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KcDaRookie:

"Original Sound CWM.zip" will restore the startup sound without changing the bootanimation and "Bootup Revert CWM.zip" will restore defaults and is crosscompatible to both (and also most other) bootanimations.

The new logo was way to neat looking to not make an animation of it ^^

You can also use the "Original Sound" after every other bootanimation.zip to restore default sound without deleting the bootanimation ^^

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] M8Mush:
First, thank you for your great job:).

So, it's exactly what i would have like.(Noob question : ) Can i do it myself by cuting the part 2 of "PC_SiyahKernel_bootanimation_withSound_CWM.zip" and putting instead "Siyah New Logo NoSound.zip" ??? Sorry but i haven't read anything for the moment about bootanimation. If you "can" do it, extended sound on the Logo can be Cool also.

I understand that you're not here to respond to wishes of everybody, so good continuation.

Yeah somehow taking the first part of the BIOS screen and merging it with the second from the New Logo should work, but it didn't for me, so I changed it a little and now this works for me.

For the sound you have to extend it yourself somehow, I don't do sound processing... cause I can't ^^

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaq1907:
Do you know how to change bootanimation on LPH? In rooted kernel it works to copy bootanimation.zip to /data/local folder but in stock kernel it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KcDaRookie:
The bootanimation is not depending on root permissions but on a kernel that provides costum bootanimation support.

Since LPH is an ICS build and there are no kernel sources for ICS therefore no costum kernels and so I think atm it is impossible to make bootanimations work on your ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] M8Mush:

Not sure if I did some thing wrong, but I flashed the cwm with sound and when it restarted it boot looped, had to reinstall my CriskeloRom..?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KcDaRookie:
I don't think there's much you can do wrong about flashing it via cwm...

Do you have any cwm-flashable bootanimation?

I never tried Criskelo, was on StockROM like forever and changed to CheckROM RevoHD4 eventually and the bootanimations are working just fine.

But if you can provide a working CWM-flashable I'll try making a Criskelo compatible flashable zip if there are any differences ^^
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LNJ:
If you're on LPH, place the zip in system/media and it should work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KcDaRookie:
My flashables already place the zip under system/media, so this can't be the fault.

hi guys i am running westcrips resurection 1.5 rom

i have changed the boot animation but i cant get it to play any sound.

any ideas please ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KcDaRookie:
If you're on the Siyah ICS Kernel where the eye is shown with ICS etc. written on it, this isn't a bootanimation, this is a "feature" of the kernel.

I don't know how to get rid of it, you have to ask gokhanmoral about this.

Every bootanimation provided here is deletable via the "Bootup Revert CWM.zip".

Hope gokhanmoral can help you with it, just click on the "Siyah 3.1"-link in my signature to get to the kernelthread and ask there.

If you use the "Siyah New Logo NoSound.zip"-file there is as the name states it no soundfile provided with the bootanimation.

If you also flashed the "Original Sound CWM.zip" or have any other soundfile present as bootsound please make sure that your phone is NOT in silent mode since this is (at least for me) preventing the phone from playing the sound at startup.
