Not working :( ....

You're so cool! Status 7 error disappeared forever, but his friend Status 6 error appeared. I tried to install it from stock 2.1, GingerDX, MiniCM7, GingerCruzt, kuyaDROID, and i tried both kernels with every rom, but this f***in status 6 error appeared again. I had two options:

1: I can f*** myself with my phone

2: (As I did) Ask you.

What should I do???

I really like the pure stock unmodded CM7 so please help me!!! :(

Here is the full error message: E: Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.1.0-X8-signed.zip (Status 6)

installation aborted
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
Status 6 error means that update.zip is corrupted. I found one missing line in updater-script. If you want try this one. I don't have my phone here so I can test it now. I will look on it tomorrow

EDIT: If you are installing it from Stock 2.1 ROM you don't need to replace updater-script
[XPERIA X8 General] ChongWiz:
Thank you very much! Good to see people who trying to help others, not just saying you are unlucky, not my false and going away. Now my dream came true... I can use pure CM7 straight from the Team CyanogenMod... Tank you dbts25!!!!

Sorry you've been having bad battery life,but mine has been pretty good.

Btw,aren't you that guy who even started a previous topic on how your GNex's battery lasted only 30 minutes or something?

my batt life is as good or better than my Rezound was,

Easily lasts from 10am-12midnight and have batt life left.

Could always just throw it on CDMA-only mode. That's how I have it now and by the end of the day it's still like 75% lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i find while i'm using mine it lasts 2 - 3 hours, but if i'm not using it and put it in 'airplane mode' then it drains like 5% battery in an hour...

then again, it's about how long it'll actually last 'in use' that counts.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
Quick question on the Note here, I've been using it on Straight Talk. I've updated to 2.3.6 I forget which version it is, I believe it was the KKA kernel. All I know is it greatly improved battery life. I've used the CF root, to get root and pretty much left it stock. I'm getting pretty much 2 days worth of battery life on it and I love it. The only issue I've noticed is that Cell Standby or Time without signal is always showing 100% even though I've been browsing, made some calls, checked e-mail, sent texts, etc. I just assume this is some sort of bug. I don't know if I could be seeing better battery life than I'm getting or not, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Also does anyone recommend a certain firmware over what I'm using? I saw the Chinese 2.3.6 was supposed to be pretty good. I downloaded the odin files and was debating flashing those.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tamarian:
No need to reflash. This is a known problem, same SGS2. Just go to settings > About < status. Then the percentage will start droping. Do this on every reboot. Annoying, but usuful to find out the actual loss percentage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
Cool, thanks for that info. I never had the SGS2 so I didn't know about that. Did what you said and then immediately cell standby was now at 99% vs. 100%
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kobraki17:
Will this work on the HTC Amaze as well? I can't seem to find Settings > About > Status. Ideas? I'm having the same issue. Cell Standby is about 30% of my battery life drain, and 100% of the time I have no signal apparently. However, if I go into the History Details, I see that I have signal 100% of the time.

I have a NS I9023. It was on stock 2.3.6 with locked bootloader and stock recovery.

I flashed the official ICS ROM which is working fine. But I am not able to see recovery. It's a problem many have reported but I have not come across a solution.

Can somebody please help. I would like to goback to 2.3.6 and wait for the OTA for my device.

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] veagles:
You can flash the stock recovery image from 2.3.6 using fastboot and install 2.3.6 using signed update zips from google

AOSP roms flash recovery on reboot. To stop this (with root) use whatever explorer/editor you have available to rename/delete the /etc/install-recover.sh

Then flash CWM and it's permanent.
[Nexus S General] wittereus:
The recovery screen is actually there. Use a flashlight and flash it at the black screen.
[Nexus S General] Emhalwis:
What he said. It seems that some people with 9023 can't see the recovery because its too dark, many are remembering button sequence to go through it

Can you explain to me how to do that? I'm not liking ICS with all the bugs and would like to revert to stock. Can you help me? I have i9023.

You will have to unlock boot loader. Then use fast boot to flash custom rom. Then flash stock rom using the custom rom. You may then lock the boot loader if you like.

So my buddy had someone unlock has Galaxy 10.1 3G. He brings it to me because now his SIM is not detected. It is as if the SIM is simply not there. I click it in and its the right way and all, I've rubbed it. Nothing works. ATM I did a full root and am downloading Overcome 3G ROM to wipe all and flash the ROM. Are there any radio or modems i Need? I have a tmobile modem (as his SIM is Tmo) but I think thats for the old galaxy tab. Idk Im a bit lost.

Excuse me for sounding a noob, but I don't keep up with GSM, I am an avid CDMA user and am knowledgeable in CDMA phones and stuff. Anyways, I've seen chatter about EFS this and EFS that. I saw a /mount EFS in CWM, is that something I should not wipe? Or would wiping it help? I dont have the original nvdata*.* file, but i did see that the IMEI still shows properly. Im lost in this GSM world. Little help please.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] techboydino:
Like many of you I picked up an Evo View last week during the "pretty good" sales. Have it sitting on my table burning a whole in my brain wondering whether I should keep or sell (as new) before I crack into it. I also recently received an Acer A100 which is also new. I love the Flyer but quickly see that the development is not very popular. I appreciate the work being put into it, but am considering selling both to pickup a Galaxy Tab 7 plus (which I know has quite the lack of development also, for now)

Any thoughts from those who currently own a View. My main concern is using it when I travel on WiFi, 99% movies, with some occasional gaming and internet use. My SGS2 handles pretty much everything else. Your thoughts are appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jatilq:
I grabed a few Kindle Fires and then thought I missed the Sale on the HTC EVO View 4G for 230 give or take and paid 300 for it.

I see the sales coming and going and kinda want to kick myself for ordering, but mine is brand new.

Keep in mind there are many of these suckers in peoples hands and that hopefully means more interest in the dev community. I also have read that a legit honeycomb update is coming. Im happy with the device as is, but I also have an iPad 2 as my main tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] photog:
I am in a some what similar circumstance, making that decision myself on what way to go. First I made a decision that I needed to be iThing and Android compatible to give myself the best of both worlds, primarily software that works on one vs. the other, and be able to take advantage of free software, etc. on both sides of the fence. For the Apple side of things, I have an iPad and iPod, big and small, no medium choice in the apple line.

For Android, I have a phone, an A500, a Flyer, and a View. The intent was to give the Flyer to my GF for a Christmas present, and keep the View for myself. Then the debate would be whether the A500 10.1" tablet gets more use, or the 7" View, and do I need both.

I chose the Flyer and View because they are comparable spec wise to anything else in the 7" line, are selling now for a competitive price, and have the pen feature other ones don't have, giving it a leg up. My GF is an English teacher and will probably use the pen feature.

I was on the verge of rooting her Flyer, and was wondering if I should even bother for her purposes.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

I bought a View, then thought they weren't going to ship it, so I bought a second one, and ended up with two Views. I am willing to deal on the second one :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] techboydino:
Thanks for the responses so far. I am looking for a device to replace my OG Galaxy Tab. I still like it but looking to mess with something else. I don't really need more than one tablet, just sold a few phones and 3 other tablets. Had to slim down the arsenal. If I can get good video playback and some occasional gaming done, I just may crack open the View. Hard to decide though, I really want a Galaxy 7+, but they are still $400 and nearly scarce. Samsung hasn't really gotten any traction on them yet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
For video playback I use rockplayer or mvideoplayer.

Audio I just make sure it's either mp3 or wma and most times they play in the native music player.

As far as honeycomb or ics coming out I'm personally just waiting until htc releases (if they do) something off those builds. Since the kernel source is available I am at least happy that I can modify it a bit more than just the rom.

In the end though only you can decide what you really want in a device. I sold my first view because I was getting tired of not having a kernel source and bought my second one because I really didn't want any other tablet.

It's your preference but the flyer/view tablets are very well capable of most anything you can throw at it. Shoot, I even make phone calls from my view (using skype or grooveip depending on video or not) using my ps3 bluetooth headset. Once you change the bluetooth profile in the build.prop there's no reason why you can't use most bluetooth headsets or devices (keyboards). Good luck on your decision though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] inmnbob:
I purchased the View because I wanted a pen based system to use more in the work environment. We just opened our campus up to Wifi and expanded the security rules to allow personal tablets to connect to it. I also added the $19.99/mo. Sprint Tablet plan for those times that I am out of range.

After playing with the tablet for a day now I am not trilled because the pen integration is limited with GB. I hope we get HC on the view so that the pen integration is expanded. I was able to purchase an Android notepad app that worked with the pen so I have more solutions than the stock notepad.

Do. Know if there is going to be HC for the View?

I also have an iPad which for now will remain my primary non-work device and I remain optimistic that through the developers on this site we can get he View better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nir_apple:
Hello everybody,

I am trying to build the OpenGL SO lib from android sources (libGLESv2.so) and i would like a little bit more understanding of the internal mechanism of Android OpenGL ES and the flow.

Please correct me where i am wrong:

I know that in windows a developer includes gl.h and static link to OpenGL32(64).lib (which in turn dynamically link to OpenGL32.dll (probably there is a way to dynamic linke to OpenGL32.dll by the developer but that's not important).

The developer is exposed to the declaration of OpenGL API's but the implementation which i assume to be HW dependent.

The same scenario, Android: assuming developer import .opengl.GLES20 and calls the following method: GLES20.glTexEnvf(....

I would like to know what's going on behind the scenes in android (maybe Linux is better for an Android beginner).

the implementation which reside in opengl/java/android/opengl/GLES20.java source calls the native C function glTexEnvf which unlike windows we have it's implementation which reside in opengl/libagl.

Is it true?

In any case what is the GLES2_dbg library in /libs/GLES20_dbg? i can see there some kind of debug implementation with python scripts... are they to compile OpenGL debug version?

What are the .in files and gl2.cpp file in /libs/GLES20?

Where are the HW calls? does each GPU vendor sends his libGLESv2 implementation for HW calls as i saw the libGLESv2_adreno200.so in my xperia arc?

Please help me understand the flow. If you have a link which explain this structure even in Linux it will be great.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anon1811:
since I don't know what rom you use, I can only guess. If you have XBmod-YukiXDA Back to the Future, you could use the unlock cab, just like tecle2595 wrote. But since you don't seem to be familiar with cab sending, etc., my next guess would be that you're using either HD2O's or any other DFT-like ROM, which doesn't support cab sending. You can try the following: Flash Back To the Future ROM and perform the relevant steps, see here. If you have that ROM, you have to read a bit how it works here. Didn't try it myself, so I can't help you with that. Otherwise, try Killdisk, see here and/or Panasonic SD Card Formatter, see here or, easiest, look if you have one of the devices listed here.

This seems to be a fido specific bug, ive seen it happen with my friend's fido sim on multiple android phones over the years. Some have suggested that an updated sim will fix it, however he hasn't tried one yet.

I'm running icl53f with the xxkk6 radio on rogers with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_zee13:
I also got mine from virgin to use with Fido....I'll keep an eye on this thread since I'm also thinking of flashing yakju

I use to be on roaming all the time with my nexus one and nexus s. The R always appeared there but I wasn't actually roaming

Do you have any other issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
I was using for the afternoon and night. The reception seems not as good as yakjuux. Maybe this is just my feeling. Strange thing is the 4.0.2 update notification disappeared. I planned to download it tonight but couldn't find it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
I was using HTC Desire HD from telus, unlocked. There was no R on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
I flashed mine a couple days ago. I was previously on yakjuux (ITL41D) and went directly to stock yakju (ICL53F).

Keep in mind that the stock images from Google (version 4.0.2, build ICL53F) come with XXKK6 as the default baseband/radio. This is different from the one that comes preloaded on devices from Virgin Mobile and Bell Canada.

Flashing XXKK6 caused the same problem for me as the first poster (I'm on Fido, and the network icon kept showing up as "R: roaming" instead of the usual 3G or H: HSPA". It also took forever to find the Fido network in the first place.

Now, when I first bought the GN, it came with UGKK7 on it. If you bought your device before any OTA update (meaning, you were on build ITL41D), that's probably the radio you had.

However, this was recently updated to UGKL1, when you went from ITL41D to ITL41F (OTA via Bell or Virgin). I find this specific radio works best on Fido. Technically, it is also recommended to use a UG- baseband in Canada vs. XX, since UG is the code to indicate that it's optimized for North America.

So I flashed UGKL1 and got perfect reception since (Fido).

By the way, for those who want to try out the UGKL1 baseband:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
Nice, do you still have the R?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ciscostud:
Ya same here. gnex was from virgin and I manualy did the 4.0.3 flash. Had the xx radio and just changed to ug. Working good so far;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ciscostud:
No r for me. On virgin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
The R is gone. It's back to 3G or HSPA. I noticed most of the time it's 3G (when the phone is on sleep with wifi turned off). As soon as the screen is back on, the icon changes to HSPA. Maybe it's to save battery.

Also, I didn't know this menu existed before, but your network/radio settings can be viewed this way:

- go to Phone

- *#*#4636#*#*

- then tap 'Phone information'

In this menu, you can see your actual signal strength, whether GSM and GPRS are on, as well as the network type the device is currently getting (UMTS is 3G, or HSPA). You can reset your radio too.

There's a setting thay may get you better network behaviour and battery:

Set preferred network type:

By default, the GN is set on 'GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)' - which means it scans for both. However, I recommend you tweak it.

- Fido and Rogers operate on GSM/HSPA only. So if you bought the device from Virgin/Bell, but are using a SIM card on Rogers or Fido, it's better to change the setting to 'GSM auto (PRL)'. There's no use to scan CDMA anyway.

- Virgin and Bell are CDMA/HSPA. For those networks, leave the preferred network type as 'GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)'.

- Same with Telus (they are CDMA/HSPA).

I think this is the reason why the 'R' problem has only affected Fido and Rogers users so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
Thanks for the tip.

I am going to reflash the radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
took me 2 hours to get it done for the first time!!! Looked around almost all threads about fastboot thingy.

Just to post here some important steps for reflash radio ONLY. I will post complete steps after sleeping.

You have to put your GN into USB Debugging mode. If you don't do this, it is very hard to exit fastboot mode.

You will need PDANet for Andoird.

Find fastboot-windows.exe

Find the radio file for North American GNs

unlock the bootloader before flash radio

lock the bootloader after flash radio

use reboot in fastboot instead of taking battery out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
When you go to settings - about phone what does your baseband say? You might need to reflash your radio. Try the xxkk6 again and if that doesn't work for you the Canadian radio ugkl1 is floating around the forums so you can reflash that and it should work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I'm on bell and the xxkk6 works fine for me. So I'm not sure why it didn't work at all for you. I like that there is a NA specific radio tho because not all networks use the same features so I think the NA radio turns on some optimization.

I know the UGXXX base bands are supposed to be optimized for North America, but I am getting great reception and battery life with XXKK6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This will do nothing, as there is no CDMA radio on your Galaxy Nexus. Try it and do a comparison. There will be no difference. I believe that was a legacy option for devices that had both GSM and CDMA radios (which were few and far between!).

You should indicate that unlocking your bootloader wipes everything. Moreover, there is no real reason to re-lock your bootloader - you can leave it unlocked, so that you will not have to wipe everything again if you want to flash something else...

Having grey in the signal strength indicator instead of green does not mean that you don't have a data connection. It just means that you are not currently connected to Google's servers.
