-Download this file, it has the adb and fastboot files needed to proceed

-Extract the file to "c:\" so that the path looks like this C:\android-tools

-Install HTCDriver (Fastboot drivers) (should already be installed from revolutionary) but here's the link again

-Open cmd and type "cd/"

-then type "cd android-tools"

*To test whether you have set up all the files correctly and your phone is connected correctly you can do the following;

*Plug your phone in (when plugging in select CHARGE ONLY (i.e. leave on the home screen)

*In cmd type "adb" and press enter, it should show a list of commands, then type "fastboot"and press enter, it should also show a list of commands)

*If both these commands work you have extracted the files to the right place and have setup cmd right.

*then type "adb devices"

*Should show connected phone serial if not then try get the latest HTCdrivers

Flash the ENG HBoot

To flash the ENG HBoot you can use one of these methods;

1) Fastboot

-Place the .img file (extracted from PG88IMG.zip) in C:\android-tools

-Boot phone into fastboot

-Run command "fastboot flash hboot engHBOOToverARX.img" in CMD

2) Android Flasher

-Download from here

-Select phone, select Hboot .img (bootloader)

-Boot phone into fastboot and select FLASH

3) Updater file (PG88IMG.zip)

-Download the PG88IMG.zip (make sure is called that EXACTLY, not pg88img.zip or PG88IMG.zip.zip)

-Place file on your SD card root, and boot into HBoot, and follow onscreen instructions

4) adb shell (LAST LAST resort, one typo and you can brick your phone, do some reserch before doing it

-Place the hboot on your SD card and remane it to "hboot.img"

-Boot into recovery

-adb devices - Must show your serial

-adb shell

-su (it should show #, that means you have the right permission, if it shows $ afterwards you dont have permission)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img (backup your current hboot)

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (flashes new hboot)

Install the RUU

How to check if downloaded RUU is compatible with your phone:

To avoid errors etc, you need to confirm your phone is unbranded, i.e. check if your CID matches the CID check list in the RUU you downloaded.

To do this Run the installer, then go to your Windows Temp Folder, sort the folder by date and pick the folder with the latest date, and locate the rom.zip file inside, open it up and open the android-info.txt file. Your CID should be in the list, if not then you need to create a GoldCardto install that RUU.

Here is a list of RUU's you can download for your phone [ROM]Shipped Desire S ROM Collection - xda-developers

I have installed ICS2, next V8.5 turboboost and next SlaidFastMod. I have problem with bluetooth. Cant recive any file from another device. I can send any file to any divice. Some solutions?

Edit: After reinstall ICS2, TurboBoost and SlaidFastMod Bluetooth works fine. Some installation error? Nvm:) Solved. But still want to know answer for my second question:

What is the least: ICS2 or ICS finall? Which is better? And im doing right to install both mods/scripts? V8.5 and SlaidFastMod? If ICS finall is the best/newest version - which option should i choose? With tweeks or without? Or maybe Tweeks+v8.5+SlaidFastMod or without tweeks+v8.5+SlaidFastMod. Give me some advice please:)

I can't advise on ram scripts. That's a personal choice. Find what works for you. With or without tweeks is answered in thread. Its about overclocking. Is final better than 2, well in my opinion yes. That's why I realised it. But some have said not. Try both, see witch you prefer. My answer is basically what works for me may not for you, the only way you will find what you like is to try and see.

I attempted as many did to update the new OTA. You can find it on this forum. I constantly got an error 7 after the install failed as the install looked at my Preinstall files. After any number of attempts, I used a standard Preinstall directory. I deleted the current Preinstalled, using Root Explorer I did a copy paste. Bingo, Bango, Bongo. Install Complete!!

Here is a link to a dropbox copy of the preinstall.

Could someone please provide detailed instructions on how to apply this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benlane:
Some help

My solution to the how and it goes without saying - you are on your own if you brick you phone.

1. Download the file. I am uploading to another online file site now and will update the link soon.

2. Unzip the downloaded file preinstall.zip on your computer. Connect USB to computer as a mass storage drive and copy preinstall directory to your SD-Ext.

3. Disconnect your computer and start Root Explorer. If you don't have it, it is available in the Market.

4. Go to the Main (root) directory of your Razr and scroll down to the Preinstall Directory. Using Root Explorer copy the current preinstall directory to your SD-ext in an out of the way directory.

5. Go back to the root directory. At the top of the screen is an small icon labeled RW. Select this option by touching the icon - it should now say RO. RW=Read Write RO-Read Only. The directory must be in the RW state to copy the preinstall directory.

6. Go back to the root directory and delete the old "preinstall" directory.

6. Go back to the SD-Ext where you stored the downloaded "Preinstall" directory. Select this file and copy. Root Explorer will now have the Paste option showing on the bottom left of the screen.

7. Navigate back to the Root (main) directory and press "paste". Root Explorer should now paste the downloaded copy of the preinstall into the root directory.

Note: Based on my limited experience if you simple copy and overwrite the preinstall directory, portion of the old preinstall will be left in the root directory. These files are the problem causing the Error 7 in the update - IMO.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JaBr1884:
I hope this works :( This has been driving me crazy! I'll post my results and spread the word to others I've spoken to about this frustrating issue. Great find, and thanks for sharing!

Edit: Strange, as soon as I delete the original preinstall folder, and hit paste, it asks if I want to merge folders instead of just paste. If I go into another folder, then back to the root folder, preinstall reappears... I'll try merging, but sounds like that isn't going to work.

Edit 1: Failed :( Maybe my issue has something to do with the preinstall folder being repopulated the instant I delete it, which doesn't allow me to simply replace it with the one hosted in the OP.

I believe I only have one option now... to learn how to dev, graduate, intern at Motorola, get a job at Motorola and work my way up the ladder until I can decide how FXZ files are protected, and release them to the public!

I can not find anything simalir for dolphin hd which sucks as when i play flash based vides they get slowed down if there are flash based ads on the screen and i cant just click ont he single element i wanna run it has to run all the flash elements on the page instead of just the one i want. That is why i was looking to use firefox over dolphin because the mobile version has ad block plus and i just wish i could get the same for dolphin hd but i ahvent found any way to do the same thing.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolochan:
Hi All

I know that there have been many threads on the battery drain issue but i wanted to see if we can get to the bottom of the problem. I have emailed SE support but they fob me off with the usual patronising answers.

Anyway I have an Arc, and i had flashed the firmware to 2.3.2 (3.0.A.2.181), and rooted it. Battery Life on this was fine, 1.5 to 2 days.

I have since flashed 2.3.3 (4.0.A.2.368), 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42) and 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.58) With all of these firmwares my battery life is terrible, not lasting more than 12 hours, even if i put the phone in airplane mode during sleep. Using Battery Monitor, i see that with nothing running the phone is using at least 70mA. So obviously i tried to reflash back to 2.3.2, However doing so brought up the 0% issue. So i reluctantly went back to 2.3.4. I have also tried reflashing the baseband to 36, following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382657. However no change to the rubbish battery life. I have used things like autostart to stop apps from automacally starting, turned off bravia engine, auto network search, turn down brightness and everything, but still the phone uses up 70mA. So what is using up all this power? Do i have a faulty phone and should take it to the a service centre to get it replaced? Or will a replacement phone with 2.3.4 still have the same problem? Does anyone know which of the "essential" running services is using up al this power? the phone is rooted using zergrush, but the bootloader is locked.

This battery issue is really making me think twice about gettin another Sony phone, which is a shame as i have had one for the last 7 or eight years now...

Many thanks

[TouchPad Development] xport:
I have been trying to get a few winodws shares to auto mount at boot on the Touchpad for my kids. I have tried CIFS Manager, but the mounts are not remounted at boot.

I looked into alternative options and saw the Script Manager option floating around. I figured this could work since I am somewhat handy with code.

So here is what I would like to do. Set a script to run at boot to do the following:

1. Pause for a number of seconds to allow wifi to connect successfully and completely (say 60).

2. Load the CIFS modules (i think this would work):

insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko

3. Pause if needed to allow them to load successfully and completely.

4. Mount the shares as needed (prob not correct, but maybe close):

mount -t cifs -o user="your username",password="your pass" //192.168.10.4/Video /sdcard/Video

5. Exit

I would like to see if I can do this without user intervention and without the user noticing (no tray notification, etc.). If anyone else has any other ideas I am certainly open to them (such as CIFS Manager doing this somehow for me.)

Thanks in advance for any input.

Any additions here would be welcome as well. For instance, being Wifi SSID aware to unmount and remount upon connect would be gravy.

Is it working smooth and in an acceptable speed?

Tried many apps and mount managers but network speed is so whorse that even little mp3 files over the network stutter...........

A chead Hawaii Phone or a Galaxy S Plus does the Job like a charm in the same Network. So it must belong to the TP! Maybe the cifs.ko is not working well......
