[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furiannn:
Do you have a folder in windows where you have been flashing stuff from, using fastboot?

If so, just get this recovery image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988686

Download either the blue or green 5023 image. Doesnt matter which just changes colour of mod :P place the file in the same folder as the fastboot.

Next, with the phone off and after attaching the phone to USB, turn it on while pressing vol-up and power. You should see the boot option screen, the fastboot screen. Leave the phone there.

Now go back to cmd window in windows, and browse to the folder where you have all the fastboot files and where you have put the above image file. Then type in the following:

fastboot flash recovery <image name.img> (without the < >)

press enter and it'll flash the recovery and then you can install the old version of android
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wierd165:
I don't believe I have a folder as such, being a person who is not familiar with the lingo, etc of all this i rooted it with one-click mod, and just flash things through this, are you saying I can flash things externally? sorry to sound like a bum, but i'm trying to understand thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furiannn:
No problem, we're all noobs once, hell i still am and only just coming to terms with it all! Just need to do a bit of researching, but heres the basics...

fastboot lets you flash stuff to the phone from windows, when the phone is attached to the USB and is in fastboot mode (just turned on, from vol-up/pwr).

Can unlock the boot loader and flash recovery images from there. Once thats done, most other stuff can be done from within the new recovery mode, clockworkmod being the one that everyone uses.

over at nexusshacks it's explained really well how to root your phone. And he provides a zip with everything you could want. That zip is the folder I was talking about in the last post. It comes with drivers to install when you first plug the USB in and the PC recognises the phone. Download the pack, install them drivers and then go back to my last post and take it from there :)

EDIT: Also do a full wipe/data reset just before you flash the new rom
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wierd165:
I'm using clockwork right now, but it seems to be corrupted, im running 4.0.3 right now on a full rom package, so your saying I should still do this? I think i may have done all that before, as the phone is rooted, but I used the one-click method instead.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furiannn:
Just download that file and then you'll have what you need on your pc to do what i mentioned above. Plug the phone in and reflash the new recovery which will not harm it, and then you'll be able to stick gingerbread or ICS back on. You gotta try things out otherwise you'll not understand what is going on. I dont know of any one click thing that will let you go back to default as it was before. After it flashes the new recovery, scroll down to "recovery" on the screen and press the power button, dont restart the system.

In hindsight, while the one click methods are easy to use, theyre getting used by people that dont do the necessary research to learn about the rooting and flashing process. This means you end up skipping so much that you learn about the whole rooting and flashing proocess when doing it manually, which in turn means you have more trouble getting out of it if you want it back to the way it was! No offence intended here, but you just need to man up and do it! All will be well :)

my friend has rooted s2 with juggarnaut 3.7. he accepted the ota update this morning and now the phone keeps restarting. i tried getting into clockworkmod but after getting into recovery it keeps restarting. any advice would help. thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
pull the battery

boot into CWR

flash any favourite ROM back into the phone

remember to wipe cache, wipe david k, wipe etc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] antn:
the problem is that everytime i get into CWM it'll restart again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the instead of booting into recovery

boot into Download Mode

plug USB cable to the phone, hold the 3 buttons from Off

you should be in download mode

load up Odin, and flash the stock ROM links on INDEX sticky

Had to exchange my rooted sg2 cause it took a crap. My question is this. When I got the new one it had the update on it already. Can I still root it? Do I need to wait for a new Juggernaut or can I flash 3.7 on my phone even though it has update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
Im sure you can still root with 2.3.6 the newest update. you can flash juggernaut 3.7 but you will have 2.3.5 you can wait for juggernaut to be updated, which im sure will have the latest firmware and wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
You can flash the rooted stock ROM by Mr.X

You won't need to update your baseband since it's probably already in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
I rooted it through ODIN just like I did 2.3.5 with no problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronin4740:
It is more correct to say that you can use the Odin method to root 2.3.6 SuperOneClickRoot does not currently work on our phones when they've been updated to 2.3.6.

I would follow babymatteo's advice and flash Mr. X's rooted KL1 rom. it runs flawlessly.

I'm using Gingervolt rom 1.3 on my phone and I can't change the default dialer. I download Go contacts ex, and exdialer But I can't launch by default.

Anyone has any idea.

Many Thanks.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:

[LG Revolution] billney:
I am having bad lag on the dialer. Would another dialer app correct this? I have shirtcuts to the people I call the most set up and sometimes it takes about 30 seconds for the dialer to kick in after touching the contact.
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
I use go dialer with go contacts on Zeam launcher. I have the action bindings set to open dialer on double tap of the home screen. I've only ever set defaults on first launch though so I can tell you it works just not how to get there from stock. So, not so helpful.. Lol
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Instead of clearing defaults for Contacts.apk, try clearing defaults for Phone.apk. Not sure if that will help but you never know. Let me know if it works!
[LG Revolution] jamborta:
I have the same problem with htc one x, after choosing the default dialler I cannot change it - clear default is greyed out. In fact I removed all the defaults, still no luck.

I don't know how many DEVs are in the salsa forum, i don't lurk around myself but i did notice that the SALSA still doesn't have a software S-OFF solution.

Hey Salsa owners! I'm from the Wildfire S forum. If there are any devs working on a software S-OFF like us, we would like to co-operate with you guys. Seeing that the Salsa has almost the same specs as the Wildfire S, why not work together to get it done faster? Also, we need someone with embedding skills. Hope we get a positive reply from you guys! :-)
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
im still currently running the Salsa on the chinese rom i got, so far ive expanded it a little furhter, allowing a ton load more apps and refinded the links2sd alittle so its running nicely.

as davies put we both can get you the batch files to copy etc, and i can get you any other files anyone so requires to do any work...heck id even test lmao.

one thing we really need is the recovery menu to fully function properly, maybe get support from the makers etc.

im still currently roaming the net for a dev or someone to create a rom like other htc users have.

as for the clip, yes its an arse....but me and davies are willing to help anyone in the uk, i wont personally post mine out, but am willling to help other users out.

people here are finfing out ways to unlock bootloader without hboot update...**** HTC hasnt released an update yet...HTC= morons !!
[HTC Salsa] romiltherock:
I really wish HTC had given the kind of support that Sony and Samsung are providing. Samsung is giving really great hardware and Sony is giving great software support. because of this low memory issue, Salsa has become a secondary phone to me. Using Xperia arc and wondering why I didn't buy it earlier. Unlocking the bootloader from Sony's dev site was a cakewalk. I am still holding out with Salsa and hope one day we can get rid off this S-Off issue. Clearly, there are no hopes of getting ICS on Salsa with this much internal memory even though cheaper Xperia Minis with 1 Ghz processor will be getting a timely update! :-(

Salsa is a complete rip off esp for those majority users who have no clue about rooting.

HTC wake up guys!!!

Hi all, I just rooted my nook tablet and I have the marketplace installed. Now, I want to access all my 11 extra gigs of fun. But file expert won't mount anything r/w...which makes me think WTF... by the way I'm a noob and need to be treated like one

Here's what I've done

Rooted the nook...choose the honeycomb option

then I downloaded the file expert app

Then i went into the app's settings and enabled root explorer

Then I navigate to the Phone Internal Storage and try to mount things or copy and paste things and I get pwned...

Why is this not working, what did I do incorrectly?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
File expert? use root explorer (paid) or super manager. Some say es file manager, but I can't get past sdcard folder.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
are you trying to get the rest to show up on your pc when you connect it with usb? if so, this wont happen. if you just want to browse it and copy or paste stuff, use es explorer.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

remove sd card and es explorer will show you your tablet. if this works, then the problem is you are just not browsing correctly in es explorer. at the top there is an option that lets you chose phone or sd card. Default is sd card, you have to switch to phone... (tablet)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drwecki:

No need to remove sd card. Just change home directory in es file manager settings to /. You will then see all folders. Enable root explorer and set /system as writeable also in root settings.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahk423:
I've always found that to flash a kernel successfully, Id have to always flash the rom again, to get the original kernel, then clear cache/dalvik, then flash the new kernel. It wouldn't work going from one custom kernel to another, so I'd always flash the rom, then the kernel. And wipe(duh). For me it insures 100% success.

[General Questions and Answers] BigMatza:
I've been on Sprint for over 5 years, and I'm finally fed up with the spotty service in my new area. However, T-mobile and ATT signals are strong here. I like the plans T-mobile has to offer, so I'll be going that route. I just need to choose a phone.

The reason I'm posting in XDA is because of its tech-savvy users. I've been using XDA for quite some time with my old Palm, Windows, and now Android phones. I currently have the HTC Evo. I'm looking for something along the same lines or better. Basically, I want to be able to do everything I can with the Evo.

Here is my criteria (in order of importance):

* Band: GSM (obviously)

* OS: Android ONLY

* Current carrier ROM must be rootable. I'll be installing CyanogenMOD.

* Touchscreen (duh)

* Minimum 800x480 resolution

* CPU: Powerful enough to run anything on the market

* Should be able to go 8am-9pm on a single charge and light usage.

* 802.11n support (at least once it's rooted)

4G not necessary

Price: Not a concern-- I'll take my time finding a deal on whatever phone I choose.

Basically, whatever seems to be the most popular option for a power user with an inclination to hack... well that's what I'm after. But I don't wanna hear it from T-mobile. I wanna hear it from the user base.

Also looking for something similar for my wife-- but just a little more petite and better on battery life (kinda like she compared to me :-D ).

If you're aware of a T-mobile pricing promo for certain phones, that'd certainly help influence my decision.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
