[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you root using either Super One Click, or Doomlords version of the zergrush exploit, you will still retain the stock kernel and be able to get the update without additional changes. If you update while rooted, you will retain root on UCKK6.

I'm not sure, but if you use the zedomax kernel to root, you may lose device manager and therefore not be able to check for the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Hey buddy. How do you get out of download mode on the gs2. I was trying to do the odin thing and turns out the drivers were'nt correctly installed. So mind lending a noob a hand lol .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Am I supposed to take the battery out or something. It says do not turn off so I'm a bit confused.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You should not interrupt download mode during a flash, of course, because bad things will happen. However, if the flash is finished, or if you put the phone into download mode without starting a flash, just hold down the power button until the download screen goes away, and the boot screen appears. You can also just pull the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Lol. Yeah. I didn't start a flash at all. I used pda net to get the drivers and upon connecting it didn't work. So thanks. I think I'll use the zedomax way and then flash entropy's daily driver through clockwork mod. I can do that right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
That should work fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Try this, go to menu/settings/applcations/manage applications/all tab/device manager and hit the clear data button. Then go to menu/settings/check for updates and it should let you download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
OK. I'll try it now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Hey man. That worked but the install failed. I read about this somewhere though. Don't I have to wipe data or something. Or will I need to apply the update manually?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You mean it wouldn't download, or after it downloaded it wouldn't install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Right. After it downloaded it wouldn't install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
It fails at 67 percent and I tried seven times by moving the date forward and clearing the data to get the update each time. And I even turned off wiring and used data. It just keeps failing for some reason
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't know what would be causing the problem. Some posters indicated that you need to have all the bloatware on the phone, as well as the stock kernel, but I don't know if that is true or not.

I know that when I tested it, I started out on UnNamed. I Used the Odin One-click downloader to put UCKH7 stock plus root, and then updated succesfully. The first time I did it, I forgot to do a data wipe, so after I pulled the files I was getting, I did a data wipe, installed the UCKH7 stock plus root and updated again. The update worked flawlessly on both occasions, retaining root.

So the only thing I can suggest is do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery, install the Return/Unbrick to stock UCKH7 plus root package, and then update. I would think that would clear anything out that would prevent the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
OK. I'll flash that. I'll let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Also. Do I do the wipe in recovery or the phone. And then of course just use Odin for the flash. OK I'll try it. But I just wanna know about the wipe. But here goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't know it would matter, but I used recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
OK. Thanks mate. You've been a real help. I got it. Now that I know how to use this stuff I'm going for custom roms.
[TouchPad General] eddieyee:
After installing XRON vb2.6 on my sister's Touchpad, I noticed 2GB was for the main, and the rest (approx 9gb) allocated to the SD Card (shared between WebOS)...

Is there a way to make the 2GB CM partition larger, as I believe some issues will arise if too many apps are installed (due to Davik cache being on same partition). I had this problem in the past with my Samsung Epic and found it was a royal pain in the arse once a lot of applications are installed, and the Davik cache precaching most resources on that system partition....

Is the Davik cache actually stored on same system partitions? Perhaps my concern is not necessary, however if it is, I want to resize at least to 4GB to be on the safe side.
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
Dalvik is moved to cache at boot. You shouldn't run in to that issue

[HTC Sensation] Listerine:
I have a rooted stock Sensation. I have heard that to update to the latest firmware, I need to flash the stock recovery P58img file (or whatever it is called) and then revert back to the clockwork mod recovery. As we all know, trying to apply the firmware update with the clockwork mod recovery prevents the update from even attempting to install.

I downloaded the stock p58 file someone kindly provided me and tried the update, but it always freezes 1/3 of the way through the update and I have to pull the battery to restore it to normal.

Does anybody have an idea why this is happening? I read most of the update thread, but I didn't see the solution unless I missed it.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
You haven't provided any real details.

PG58IMG.zip can be used to update a multitude of things on the phone, Recovery, Radio, Firmware.

Can I ask why you want to update the Firmware and what you expect to get out of the update ?

There is a thread on a cut down update (no HBOOT Update) from the latest RUU, is that what you're referring to ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385439

I have also read that installing the latest RUU (with the firmware update) changes the HBOOT which can affect how it's then used.
[HTC Sensation] victy23:
You need to ask for more in details
[HTC Sensation] Listerine:
Sorry. so the pg58img I used was a stock recovery file. I had heard using that would allow me to install the update, but after flashing it during the installation of the update it failed.

I wanted to install the firmware because I had read that it improved system performance and reduced bugs.

I saw the update that you were referring to, but the thread mentioned how after updating there would be no visual changes or any indicators to let me know that the firmware had actually updated, and I didn't like that aspect of it.
[TouchPad General] AsianXL:
Is there a custom kernel available, such as Franco, that works with CM Alpha 3.5 for Touchpad?

[Captivate General] ace158:
Hey there you people. So you bought a Galaxy, and you fell in love with it. Your significant other is jealous of all the time you spend with it. Fawning over how ridiculously awesome it is. But your internal SD card is giving you a headache that makes you want to smash it with a hammer. Rejoice, here is a lovely tip for ubuntu users. (I don't like windows. Deal with it. If you have windows, then install linux on your PC. You love it on your phone, so put it on you computer. Don't question my logic. I'm right.) So, you plug your Droid into your computer and it does stupid things. It either doesn't want to mount, it doesn't want to stay mounted, it shows up and you click on it and you see a window pop up like a jack in the box and then it unmounts like a jerk... Maybe it gives you some piss off of a message about a "splicing error" or "input/output error" or some sort of seemingly retarded gesture like a corrupt super block and you're trying to make sense of it. The damn thing worked yesterday... Seriously... WTF. It would seem that Android is particularly fussy with corrupt filenames... and -free space- as reported by the file allocation table. If it doesn't add up... it decides to be a fussy brat you want to throw back in to the womb that shat it out. Do this:

sudo fsck.vfat -a /dev/**whichever your phone is**

If you're unsure which one your phone is go to the "Disk Utility" and your phone will pop up as "Android UMS Composite". There will probably be two of them I hope. It will show the device in this screen. Don't bother with the "Check Filesystem" button... it will say it is being busy. Open a terminal window, and put the line in from above.

I've read tons of forums that say "your internal SD card is corrupt so give up and send it in for warranty". This is ABSOLUTE BEGINNER TALK! This has cleared this issue up for me, and hopefully it does the same for you.

It did unmount for me, but it remounted automatically and had an odd option of "retry" with a pile of files I was copying. It worked. I was even surprised. The retry option of the file copy operation had not appeared until after I had this revelation. It has behaved on successive attempts to make it error again.

Cheers.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vickca86:
Software v1.4.0

Root messed up in middle of running nookandzergy.bat. Got to the part where it says GG Rooted or whatever and it wouldn't go past that (I allowed ample time for reboot of device also). Apparently it thinks it's rooted but gapps and launcher weren't installed. I tried doing the 1 click unroot, the zip file to sd card, nomoarzergys, erase/restore and failed boot restore multiple times and it still seems to think i have a root on the tablet

When I try 1 click unroot it wont let me run it as a superuser and I get a could not echojava.lo.ioexception: error running exec(). Command: [su] working Directory: null environment: null error

When I try nomoarzergys I get error: device not found rooting to unroot! error: device not found

Any help would be appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
I have read that the failed boot has to function correctly 8 times in a row to work take you back to stock. Did you go that many times. I'm interested as mine is under the tree and rooting is the first thing I will do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
This is correct. The 9th boot it will automatically go into a full reset mode. You have to release the n button on that time round too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
if failed boot restore doesnt work, manually download and install super user apk and then use unroot app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Weo:
+1 on using the 9th boot method. Other unrooting strats did not work for me.

Additionally, if you followed Indirect's rooting directions, make sure you have the updated rooting script file.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vickca86:
Mine did a factory restore after 2 failed boots. Assuming I'm doing it correctly. Powered off then upon restart I held power and home to turn off and then it asks me if i would like to restore. It is still recognized as being rooted though.

Yep, it is updated

Upon restore I can get the rooting script to re-root the nook but super user apk doesn't work. I even tried deleting super user and reinstalling and every time I try the unroot.apk i dont have an option to run as super user.

I have tried the unroot script also but it doesnt detect a root installation.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
sounds like you never rooted then. Make sure when you tried to run the root process, you actually extracted the files and ran them in the location you extracted them to
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
It was likely the data wipe, because the factory restore doesn't kick in until 9th or 10th forced reset/boot interrupt. I'd try again for the restore.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vickca86:
Well, I know it was rooted bc I was using adw launcher and was able to install the unroot.apk

You're right, I see that now, finally got the factory restore. Going from there to try to asses whether or not the root is still on there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
After a factory restore, root is gone. You have to start over for the root process, and customizing/loading apps. Just pretend you opened it up out of the packaging brand new, and go from there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vickca86:
Rooting was successful, tested unroot.apk just to make sure superuser permissions worked and it did. I'm good to go.

Thanks for the help guys, miniblue my confusion about factory restore was that I kept getting a prompt to restore after doing the boot process kill 2 or 3 times and I was doing that instead of going to 8 boot process kills and letting it automatically do a factory restore.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Yeah, the data wipe, which I've been calling a factory reset, only clears user data and deregisters the device. A factory restore basically fixes most problems short of messing with the hardware itself.
