If I understand it correctly, that will only trigger factory reset, which I can do by restarting something like 8 times (or whatever the procedure is).

The question is, will this COMPLETELY undo TouchNooter, so that I can return my device?
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
If you also do the "erase and unregister" then I would say yes. The factory reset restores the system partition to stock 1.0 and "erase and unregister" should delete everything on /data, /cache and /media.
[Nook Touch General] mh127:
Thanks, going to try it now.
[Nook Touch General] mh127:
Worked like a charm, thanks.
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
I'm also experiencing this issue, although it only happened right after I rooted my NST. I'll try and run the battery down and see if it resets--some anecdotal evidence that that works, and will report back.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers,

[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Not seen it, but it sounds like the sort of transient thing that can happen when changing charging state. Did you try a power-off reset?
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Power off reset as in resetting the device using the left-and-right flipper, or the 8 boot reset?

No, not yet--it happened right after I used boot-nooter to copy my data for backup, and now that I'm in a sweet spot regarding my setup, I cringe to start again just yet.

Clarify that that's what you mean, though, and I'll try it?

Cheers,

[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Did a restore to my backed-up image, and no love. Advise? I'm in Canada, which means it's a ***** to send it back, and I'm not unconvinced that it's a software bug.

When I first got the device, I rooted before backing up, then reset and backed up. I don't remember if the batter was *effed after first root.

Any suggestions?

-F
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Another question - if I rooted prior to backup, could it by that my factory restore image is fux0red? So--is it possible to get a vanilla downgrade or alternate image elsewhere to see if that works?

Cheers,

-Feliks
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
None of the root methods here touches the Factory partition, so no.

No.

Have you tried looking at the device logs to see if there are any obvious problems?
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
No obvious problems. Sending out for a replacement today. Going to be a bugger being without it for a little while!

Tips, Troubleshooting & Additional Links

[ troubleshooting ]

some of the custom ROMs here use some init.d scripts which might interfere with this kernel... if u face bootloops/stuck at bootup then u will need disable/remove those scripts...

on Xperia ARC, PLAY (MSM8255 chipset) i have noticed that some devices were not able to handle the 2GHz spike at bootup... but since HTC Flyer uses MSM8255T chipset, which is much more capable, i think most devices can handle the 2.0GHz spike... incase ur device just waits at bootlogo for a long time then it cannot handle this spike.. please report such cases at the earliest...

[ additional links ]

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Flyer.michael:
Reserved... my findings and testresults will come here

I will try to keep this post up to date

Summarize the most important findings, questions and answers

coolexe - Cool3D Honey v1 I took this ROM for now to test your kernel (LINK)

settings 2GHZ and Scary governor

++ GTA3 with the v2 graphics mod (Ligts HD textures... looks better than on Ipad)

Duration 30 Minutes - no crashes

Even at 1,8 GHZ unplayable with v2 mod - but with your Kernel, 2,0 GHZ in his ROM it´s a bit laggy but very playable

++ normal usage: no crashes or bootloops so far

++

I am impressed by your Scary governor

- it seems too keep the cpu in most cases at a 240Mhz (in app menues, stuff where more speed would be a waste)

++ 4 hours into usage (web/games/standby/apps/manual reboots) ->100% stable

++ battery at 55% (it wasnt fully loaded when I flashed)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SAPPH1RE:
Why don't you try it yourself, if it failed to boot, just reflash the boot.img from your HC roms, or flash stock hc kernel in first page.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
Were the initial bootloop issues part of the kernel or part of the old Leedroid rom services jar? Leedroid mentioned fixing it by increasing the "process stats buffer".

Last time I used this kernel with the old leedroid and coolrom HC's I had the loops. If so, could you please update it Doomlord? I love your work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ruffneckZeVo:
Yes please
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
i dont really know mate... not really sure if there will be an update for this kernel... i found the base kernel sources i was using (LeeDroid's kernel sources) were not very stable, may be due to TOOOO many patches... but i didnt get time again to start work on this kernel from scratch...

done links updated to direct download server
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
I have a few Flyers to put into service at my company. I have a prototype unit running Leedroid with your kernel and all of the apps & settings that I want the rest to have that I have a back up of. To prepare the other devices I need to flash Leedroid, but while still in recovery is it safe for me to flash your kernel and then restore from my backup, or should I be rebooting in between these steps?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
It is advised to do this as a seperate flash, if you would like i can build you a ROM.zip with the LeeDroid ROM and on the DoomLord Kernel :)

If thats what you want, that just mean that you only have to flash one object
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
I would very much appreciate that since I have 40+ units to flash!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
I will do this and then pm yoU a link, probbly have this done bu tonight
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
You are very kind!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
Have you researched which ROM you want to use ?? As that can be an important decision when lookig at this device especially for battery life :) if i was you i would test each rom side by side seen as though you have multiple devices
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
Oh yeah. I tried a few before settling on LeeDroid. I am not overly worried about battery life as I am instructing the users to plug it in when in their mobile unit. (the van they use to go from job to job is equipped with an industrial inverter with a pure sine wave so they will be using the stock AC charger-mostly because of the expense of the 12V charger times 40 units and the fact that due to the shape they can't screw up plugging it in!) Leedroid is lightweight and on it's own fairly lag-free, but with this kernel and OC'd it flat-out flies! It is running very stable with at 1651 MHz. Even with the OC I wouldn't be surprised if it went 8 hrs with thier type of usage on a full charge. (they will use for gps guidence from time to time but mostly it will only be used once evey hour and a half at each jobsite) I have an app locker to keep the users out of apps that I don't need them to use, a WiFi timer to keep them from using up our bandwidth while off-duty, and Boat browser for a faster browsing experience but with strict search settings locked and password protected. Much of this can be overridden of course, but most would have no idea how. The worst that can happen is I have to hard reset and sign them back into the Google account, and the two other apps that I have chosen that require a user to sign in. (Groove IP and Zello) We are experimenting with this setup until we make our own custom ROM. I have paid a "developer" here (XDA) to develop one, but after several hundred dollars (more that 1200 of them) and several weeks all I am getting is a run-around and still do not have a working ROM based upon the specs that we agreed upon.

But about the WiFi timer to keep them from using up our bandwidth while off-duty...The WiFi timer would be a lot more effective if I could figure out how to customize the menu accessed by touching the clock area that has the on-off boxes for Network, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. I wish that I could have it only offer "Settings" and nothing else. Settings are password protected so they couldn't go in and turn WiFi back on. I wonder if this is something that someone here can guide me through?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
It would take some modifications to ther the framework-res.apk or to the systemui.apk.

Maybe even the .jar files that controls services, however i believe it could be done :)

BTW 1200 Dollars ? ? ?

Thats a crazy amount of money when a lot of the guys on here do that sort of thing for small donations. ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
I"ll send a PM and tell you the story about that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
Eagerly awaiting the explanation :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
Oh btw I am going to start work on your ROM.zip shortly :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
I have a DL Link ready if you want it ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
If you have one Flyer set up exactly how you want it with your desired ROM, Kernel, settings configuration and applications etc would it not be a lot easier just to make a nandroid backup and restore this back up on your other Flyers? Providing they are all S-OFF as well. This would eliminate the need to flash a ROM and Kernel separately on each device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
I was under the impression that I needed to flash the kernel on the target device before restoring a backup from the device that was running the kernel. Is the kernel IN the backup and then would be installed on the target device?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Yes, the kernel is in the backup as part of the boot.img. For example it is possible to nandroid between two backups of the Virtuous ROM containing the stock kernel and LeeDroid's HC ROM containing his kernel.

If you perform a nandroid backup through recovery of your set-up Flyer which contains the DooMLoRD kernel and required modules this backup can be restored fully on the other devices providing they have full S-OFF.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
Hmmmm. I learned something new today! Thanks!

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AA1973:
Some things to know for getjar.

If you install the getjar.apk which is only 130kb, it will run as service and take up to 7MB of RAM. That's why I install getjar, download and install the app I want and just uninstall getjar afterwards.

You won't be able to update those apps via market, which seems fair to me, as those paid apps are free.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've modified this blank update zip for your fonts.

Use Winrar to open it,but do not extract it.

Navigate to system/fonts and press the "ADD" button.

Add your fonts and close the zip.

Make a nandroid backup.

Place the zip on your sd card,

wipe your cache and dalvik,

flash the zip like a ROM,

reboot.

Hey guys!

I just bought a used Galaxy S2 I9100 and I love it!

It's the "factory international" unlocked one.

Even had to buy a wall adaptor for the European plug to work in Canada.

I would like to update it and trust me, I do search, but it's ever confusing!

The previous owner already rooted it, but I would just like to unroot it and go to official latest firmware. Starting fresh.

I visited this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and I know I have to get my downloads from there and flash with odin, but I have NO IDEA which one to download.

Here's my phone info currently:

Android Version: 2.3.3

Baseband Version: I9100XWKE1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513

root@DELL103 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

I live in Canada and I'm using Rogers as my carrier (they don't carry the I9100).

I absolute love this phone so far but I would just like to get to the latest firmware.

Can anybody point me to the firmware I want to get?

Thanks folks, and have a happy holiday!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrav:
I'd look for the baseband version associated with bell since they do sell the i9100. They use the same baseband frequencies as Rogers.

kernels are interchangeable. Always backup your current ROM before upgrading for sure just in case. I've even gone as far as trying different modem firmware to try and improve signal strength and data speeds.

As long as you have a backup of what currently works you can't go wrong really

oops...didn't read the part about unrooting. I've never gone back to un root before but I think you can flash an unrooted kernel through Odin. Sorry I can't be of more help add to which one.

I'd still look for stock Bell firmware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayer16:
Thanks so much for your reply!

I JUST finished updating my phone by downloading this:

Just checked my phone and it says:

Android Version: 2.3.6

Baseband version: I9100XXKI4

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKK2-CL726411

root@DELL88 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKK2

So far everything seems okay.

I noticed that the Voice Talk app crashes now after I say a command.

I also got rid of that yellow half screen problem!

I think my phone is unrooted now because I didn't see a yellow triangle at boot, but the thing that's weird is I still have the superusr app and in my Kernel version it says "root".

Do you recommend me reflash my phone to Bell firmware?

If I do so, wouldn't I get all the Bell branded bloatware stuff on my phone or no?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrktmind:
Since we know the main reason Google did Android was the same as all their other free products - collect more info from users, can the built in VPN settings be trusted? It just seems to me that the only reason Google would be "kind" enough to build in a system to defeat the reason they built Android in the first place would be if they wanted a way to offer "security" with a back door for themselves??? i.e. Maybe all traffic goes through Google before being sent to VPN??

Or maybe a simple question is can Google still see your traffic or get the info they want if you use the built in VPN settings (with a VPN service of course)?

Would using an OpenVPN app be more secure than the standard settings?

Thanks and I'll apologize in advance if this is a stupid question!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcap12:
Remove the tinfoil hat for a second and listen:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcap12:
Well, if you want to follow that road, what's telling you that the VPN clients around aren't sending that very same key to law enforcement agencies?

@Alcap12 I don't generally consider myself to be part of the tin foil hat club. But I am older and have learned (the hard way) the difference between regrets and mistakes - mistakes you can fix. I think there is going to be a whole **** load of young folks who are going to regret not taking their privacy a little more seriously in a few years.

Thanks for the reply SnakeforHire.

I understand the man-in-the-middle type of attack and if you're using an ssl vpn the only thing the middleman sees is encrypted traffic. But Google isn't in the middle they own the starting point. So is it possible: A user sends some data, Android phones home with the metadata, and then Android encrypts the data and sends it to the vpn server? Tons of the apps on the market are tracking you - heck the Dolphin browser just got busted doing it right here on XDA so why not Android itself??

I'm thinking a packet sniffer would tell us the answer. I'm also thinking if I've thought of this one of the professionals here on XDA has too and has checked it out already. At least I'm hoping so. I just posted this thread in the hopes of finding out for sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
you're assuming the filtered-out data would be sent over to the eavesdropper in an unencrypted form, otherwise the packet sniffer would just see meaningless garbage.. :)

And I kinda doubt that anyone willing to go to such lengths to spy on others would be so foolish as to forget to add encryption to his upload framework. :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marksmithbvs:
Well, it seems to be a very good and informative question. I use VPN service and i don' think that google can trace out your traffic though the traffic from the local ISP transmit through a sound means which is absolutely encrypted and protected so there won't be any chance for anyone to look into you data and traffic...

i use the service of hidemyass and i can say that its is the best iphone vpn. I have been searching around the web for several aspects related to vpn and my research concluded that through vpn no data can be traced..All what google or anyone else will receive is the encrypted data like !@#$^^&*. So impossible for anyone to see it ;)
