[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leith51:
Hi there quick question as I just got my hands on a Dell streak I see you post the guide for rooting and say its 100% safe is this 100% correct cause I don't fancy bricking it also will it work on build froyo 2.2.2?

By the way I'm not not a noob as I rooted my dhd the hard way round when it first came out the same way the inspire was rooted also built 2 custom roms and work on 3 others

Only asking cause the set up of the Dell is very different to an htc and a year on htcs are getting easier to root with a one click tool

And please don't say to read read and read again as that's what I will be doing anyway I ain't going to fly before I can walk lol

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
This rooting method works with any stock ROM. One-click methods fail for various reasons, and on a failure are likely to require the restore tool we have for the purpose, QDL Tool, in order to recover from the failed root.

With a Streak you need nothing more than some knowledge of how to use Fastboot to get the recovery on the Streak. This is more educational than using a one-click tool in my opinion. From there, the trick is immedately booting into the recovery after flashing it so you can flash superuser.zip. Once you've got superuser.zip on the device, you're rooted even if the recovery is overwritten. For best results however, you need to make sure to delete the file I mentioned in my prior post and install the recovery a second time. The one part that seems to trip most people up is flashing the recovery twice. They don't anticipate the recovery they just installed being removed when they try to get into it.

Now, is it 100% safe? Unless you do something you're not supposed to such as pulling the cable while in the middle of flashing a recovery or trying to erase the Streak using fastboot -w/fastboot -erase it's very safe. Safer in my opinion than the AAHK for the Inspire because with the AAHK you have numerous opportunities to brick the Inspire (S-OFF, Radio Install, Recovery Install) instead of just one (Recovery Install).

I don't have to tell you to read and read again. My sig takes care of that. But after 3,000+ posts I don't think you have to read my noob FAQ. Especially as you are not a noob. :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leith51:
Thank you very much for the info seems pretty much straight forward will crack on with it in a few days once I'm familiar with as much as I can need to learn the streak more before I start playing lol

As for the inspire its pretty much the same as a dhd and tbh flashing a radio is as simple as flashing a Rom from recovery I also tested flashing the radio from a different htc phone and regardless that it flashed but got stuck on splash screen I could still not brick the phone, now its really difficult to brick inspire or dhd, but it is known that eng s-off can cause issues on the inspire but not on the dhd

Just some info back for yourself mate as a thank you for yours also will hit the thanks button next time I'm pc

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Thanks for the info. I rooted my roommate's Inspire using the AAHK on the day she got it. It ended up being a little more time consuming than using REVOlutionary to S-OFF my Aria the second time I rooted it*. I proceeded to put Android Revolution on the Inspire and she's a happy camper.

*The first time I rooted the Aria, which was the day I got it a year ago, I used UnrEVOked to root it. At the time there was no S-OFF possible.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Perspective for users of devices with locked bootloaders:

All dell devices are the equivilent of S-OFF/unprotected bootloader devices.

S-OFF, root, and custom are all seperate (but closely intertwined) concepts.

There are equivilents of superuser.zip for the nexus devices, as they ship either S-OFF or have

'fastboot oem lock/unlock' available to allow the user to S-ON or S-OFF at will.

Superuser.zip is equally valid on an already s-off'ed device that has a custom rec installed.

If your device can be officially S-OFFed and you install a custom recovery and use superuser.zip (or the device's equivilent form) you never have to touch a one click tool.

If your device is S-ON and there is no official way to S-OFF you must S-OFF it first, usually that requires making changes on it while it's on, which usually requires root. The only way to root a live device is though exploits in android, this is what one click tools do.

After having S-OFF'ed you can install a custom rec, and then it doesnt matter if you're rooted or not as you can install custom recs.

As long as you remain S-OFF'ed you never have to worry about rooting as custom recs/flashing zips completely bypasses android's security model.

This is the only reason that Android 3.0+ can be rooted, the ONLY ways to root 3.0+ is by rooting outside android. There are no known exploits in 3.0+ (and hence ICS devices are completely unrootable for the time being if S-ON) Every single 3.0+ device is rooted by either by superuser.zip or superboots (which are normal kernels that automatically install superuser.zip without needing a custom recovery)

The problem with superboots are that they are device AND rom specific, during the 2xx era for the s5 there were superboots available. But they had to be remade for every single version as flashing the wrong one will brick your device.

Most of the exploits used by one click tools are patched by 360, and I believe ALL exploits are patched in 4xx. Normally there are known vulnerabilities in 2.3.3, but Dell has added their own fixes to these seeing as it's one of the few devices running 2.3.3 that hasnt been updated to 2.3.4 or higher

Superuser.zip is version independant, and to a degree device independant. As long as it can mount your /system partition it can root it.

The S-ON/S-OFF terminiology is specific to HTC devices, but the concept is common to all android devices;

Dell = always S-OFF

HTC = dependant on device/carrier

Moto = mostly S-ON, some atrix's can be unlocked, xooms always unlocked

Samsung = usually S-OFF

'fastboot oem unlock' = sets S-OFF if allowed

'fastboot oem lock' = sets S-ON if allowed

Some apps are not working coz no root access in the other hand I can remove sys apps.

So what is the problem ?.

In the superuser app, you can see, which apps get a root access.

How did you root your device?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br4u2:
In superuser only root uninstaller app .

And titanium is not working.

I did the root through flashtool

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadcat6:
Ok so my wife and I have the same phone; HTC Desire HD. both of us run CM7.1. I flashed the radio on mine with no problems, did everything correctly. Went to flash my wifes radio and the flashing went fine, but now CM hangs when loading. I read up, wiped the cache, still hangs. Did a factory wipe and it boots fine.

I did the proper thing and did a backup prior to flashing. and after restoring the backup, it still hangs. Even went so far as to do an advanced restore, restoring selected parts of the backup and the mother still hangs. Any ideas short of wiping it, handing it back to my wife and going without sex for a while?

Phone is ENG S-OFF and S-OFF and I just flashed the radio to 26.09.04.11 from 26.03.02.26

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] brhn:
I have sensation from 3 mobile in UK. I installed custom room but than when I was opening camera , it became black screen and immediatly vanished. so my camera does not work. Also my vibration is also does not work.

Then I did my phone S On with a stock room which increase my phone to 1.5 ghz

I think 3 mobile does not accept it to warranity because it has not 3 stock room. Am I right ?

If 3 does not except , may I sent my phone directly to HTC in england to fix in warranity?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] stent00:
Did you should have followed the guides in the forums to flash the original run firmware for your carrier. Then put s_on

Using instructions from the proper guide. Erase the micro SD also. THEN if that does not solve the camera problem take it back as phone is stick now.
[HTC Sensation] brhn:
I flashed it and it is now s_on. may I send it 3 or htc for warranity?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
I came across this while searching on the internet.

http://www.fonearena.com/blog/41554/review-official-mesh-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.html

I was wondering if there's something similar for the Galaxy Nexus?

Ebay and Amazon always give me TPU cases and stuff and I don't like most of them. :confused:

Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abra_Cadabra:
Has anyone tried this? Looking for pics of the top/bottom to see if it covers the whole phone. Got a similar one for the GSII and was not happy with how much it left exposed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
That looks nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] da_hool:
That looks nice. Any other pictures available for this? I'd like to see how it looks from the front of the phone. It does look slightly more bulkier than a a Case-Mate Barely There or Incipio Feather though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] da_hool:
Can anyone tell if the eBay one is fake? I heard there were plenty of fake ones for the S2.

The packaging/wording in the picture looks a bit suspicious to me. I haven't seen this anywhere else also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
they need to put some pics of the phone inside the case, all the pics have the phone on its back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] da_hool:
You can tell from one of the pics that the top is half exposed. I think this is to be expected for a slim profile case. If you want full body protection you need to look at bulkier case options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
That mesh case just popped up on ebay a few days ago. Is it really a genuine Samsung product? The official one for the SGII looks much slicker than this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luminouche:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Shar0xX:
My Phone is 2 weeks old, i did not install a new rom, but i think its already miss calibrated..

Fully loaded, 10 min wlan/internet usage later, battery shows 80%.

If i plug the charger again it shows 100% after 20 minutes, but the 100% complete popup comes up 1 hour later..

So I read some Tutorials about battery calibration. 100% should be around 4200 mV

I took a look at BatteryCalibration App and BatteryInfo. Both show 3 or 4 mV! (Screens added)

Whats wrong?

Just wondered if anyone has had any issues with their tv recognizing their tablet when it's connected to the HDMI port? When I connect to my television, it acts like it's going to recognize it, but then it goes back to a blue screen saying no signal. It worked when I first got the tablet, but now it won't seem to recognize it. When i connect the HDMI, my tablet does recognize that it's connected, although sometimes i have to jiggle it a bit. I'm wondering if it might just be a hardware issue.

The only thing i've done to the tablet is flash a custom rom (Honeylicious), and everything works perfectly. I've connected my DVD player to the same HDMI port, and it works fine.

I just updated to KL1 though Kies successfully, but the annoying' T-Mobile update service' message won't clear from my Notification bar.

I've tried rebooting, but it comes right back. I've also tried going through the update steps on the device, but it never does anything. There's no option that I can see to clear this message like other notifications .

Does anyone know how I can clear this notification?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dn3g3l:
try a factory reset. that was happening to me too and it went away after the factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaymi77:
I had considered that too. However after I re-rooted my device I did some searching in System App Remover and found the apk that was causing the notice. Unfortunately I didn't write down the name of the apk, but it had the same icon as the one next to the update notification. I believe it was some combination of tmobile and update.

Sorry to be vague, I was pretty much going at it blindly before resorting to the full factory reset.

Just a word of cation, deleting that apk also seems to have killed the phones ability to check for over the air updates. When I check for updates in settings, it doesn't give the normal 'no firmware' message. Not a problem if you're using Kies, but just thought it was worth mentioning.

If someone having the same issue happens to find the proper name of the offending apk, please post it. Thank you.

This is what i know about MIZU Port

Its been ported to NExus and HTC EVO (ARMV7)

Possible to do it for our TF101 (I can't do this, but any good dev's?)

Also MIUI is possible but needs alot of changing in file's

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

MEIZU PORT: (HTC EVO)

I will post the progress for HTC EVO

And is this possible for O1?

(IDK how hard corded it is)

Meizu M9 Port...Htc Evo.

Don't know if anyone else has tried it (besides N1 and Glacier) but after a bunch of cursing and swearing I finally got Meizu M9 to boot up on the Evo...

I'd like to thank MagnuSRagnaroK AND BigRushDog for making this possible.

What works: working buttons,sd,music,no more reboots,a new kernel and new build prop with 32mb dalvic heap,and stability.now all we need is signal and proper screen res. not hard ^_^

Maybe some devs can come in and take over from here..

Notice: For EVO, flash the zip at your own risk!!! I am not responsible for whatever happens to your phone. Nandroid backup before flashing. Its not a daily, just for testing purposes but maybe someone can polish it up...

I have the 5GB plan and I've been doing a LOT with it; Downloading HD Videos off of youtube, downloading music, Web browsing, streaming youtube videos, tethering to my computer to play online games (which is smooth and lag-free), and I've used up about 1.6GB. I can't even imagine using 10GB in that small of a time frame.

You used 10GB just from streaming Netflix once and using Pandora everyday since the 8th of December? That number sounds very high. Do you have some sort of data manager that tracks how much data (in MB) your apps are using up?

I do agree that with these blazing speeds, it is easy to go nuts and just go on a rampage. I know that if I didn't restrain myself sometimes, I could use up my data cap in a couple days. Kind of a bummer that we can't truly enjoy the phone without having to worry about being throttled =/
