i still think your trouble is with the SUPER USER.. ..

go back to begining.

INSTALL ROOT CHECKER FROM MARKET..

RUN this to see if you have full root access..

run check to see if busybox is installed

of those are ok

update your su binaries . with the SU APP . if you still have issues.. go to market d/load the su update fixer apk..

after you have done the above.. install.. ROOT EXPLORER

ITS the best and most stable root file browser.. not flashy it JUST WORKS.. IN Root explorer to change or copy read only files . there is a box at the top left corner you click it says ro rw and so on... Also in the settings you need to maybe tick to show root access ..

If THE ABOVE cant help you its all i really know what to tell you..

again you cant access those files because nand lock is blocking your rooted file sysyem.. (I THINK) THAT is why i say Its A SU (ROOT) ISSUE..

good luck.. im not a DEV BY ANY MEANS..
[Acer Iconia A500] Firecracker_RC:
Ok, well, I have good news. I went ahead and installed BusyBox even though it said nand unlock was a prerequisite. I guess I aleady had it because it worked. Applying wpa supplicant didn't work for me, but the WifiAdhocEnabler off the Android Market now works for me. NO, root was not the issue, it was busybox. I just thought I had to do something (nand unlock) before I could enable it. Anyhow, my tablet can now run off my wm hotspot and I am as happy as a fly on cheese. ;) Thanks for your help!
[HTC Sensation] unciviilized:
Ok so I'm kinda noobish, I had a vibrant which I rooted but that was too easy. So now I have a sensation and trying to get s-off and want to start flashing again.I got the revolutionary files I got the beta key and I connect my phone everything looks good until it says if life gives u lemons givem back. So then it says waiting for fastboot and my computer starts asking me if I want to install the drivers, so I cant find em anywhere here or HTC. Please help. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Do you have THESE FILES installed?

:)
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

What is the difference between the o and n versions?

The o stands for

OLD

-, whereas n is an abbreviation for

NEW

-partitioning layout. Unfortunately LG changed the location of the data partition (from mmcblk0p8 to mmcblk0p9).
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
so what's the difference between the erase/reset data factory on CWM???
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
By default CWM will only format your partitions in ext3. Now you can choose ext4 which is usefull for ROMs/kernel with ext4 support but do not format the partitions in ext4. Also, you can use ext2 now the easy way.
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Exactly. :) Thanks for the answer koboltzz.

For the HTC Desire HD there was also an EXT4 version of CWM available, which changed the default algorithms of the "Wipe data/Factory reset" and the "Format" options to EXT4.

But with the latter possibility you loose the ability to format EXT3 partitions. That's also why I always used mero01's zip files to accomplish wipes.

Imho it's the best option, because if you REMOVE the formatting lines from the ROMs you want to flash it's absolutely no problem to also use an EXT3 designed ROM (like Hypnos2X for example) on EXT4 file systems (that's the operating system I'm currently on).

And I tell you also because I dislike the FULL wipes on nearly every ROM available for the LG Optimus 2X. If you have a problem and just want to reinstall the ROM without loosing any data there is no way to do that.

Yes, an easy wipe should always be done by the standard ROM zip itself - of course... but I've always also removed those lines, because that way you also get the freedom of the file system.

It's up to you... ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
sadly, I must report, that 0-full_wipe_0.3_ext4.zip is

not working

as expected.

Using it and after that flashing Fr19 with ext4 Kernel (from modaco) -> no boot at all ->freezing

This will not happen, if you first do a fullwipe by cwm (ext3), then flash Fr19 and after that use the universal converter to ext4 from benee.

But this only changes data and system partition to ext4 by default.

There is definitely something wrong with the script, an other example:

First flashing 0-full_wipe_0.3_ext4.zip

after that Fr19 ROM (up to this point it would have been a bootfreeze, look above)

and after that flashing universal converter to ext4, phone will boot now, but will not be able to install any app 'there is insufficient space' (which is totally not true), most likely because cache partition is fu.cked up by 0-full_wipe_0.3_ext4.zip :p

Time for version 0.4 ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
I will look into it. ;) Thank you for the additional information.
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
Delete this comment i guess i need to learn how to read im sorry!
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Anything new to this?
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Unfortunately not yet... But I'll promise you: It's the next on my todo list, because it bugs me too.
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
hey dr4go got something weird here...

when i flash your ext3 zip everything is fine atleast the mount command say so

but then when i want to convert them to ext2 something really weirds occur the system partition becomes ext2 but the data and cache partition become ext4 according to the mount command :confused: using recovery 5.0.2.7R2
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Here is the convert tool made by Topogigi, and slightly modified by me to include /system conversion.

/cache has not the same parameters it seems.
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
First (and second) post(s) updated. ;)

And I'll promise you also to release something bigger next time. Guesses won't be commented. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] carburano:
ONly comment I can do is: Nice to see you my friend! How are you?
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Everything fine here! :) Nice to see you too. I finally found some free time and also motivation, because of the marvellously working CyanogenMod 10 on our phones. It's unbelievable... I was nearly freaking out when reading the notice. :)

And you? How are you? Hopefully everything is also great on your side?
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Dr4go welcome bro, how are you?
[LG Optimus 2x] cojo11:
maybe you can do this thing for the new Bootloader.

i try,but stay in Bootloop:(

Maybe you have a good Idea
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Thank you. As you may have realized... a little busy as usual... otherwise totally fine. How is it on your side? Everything ok? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
What exactly did you do? And which ROM did you try to flash afterwards? Imho the zips should be fixed now - I didn't encounter a single problem since using them.
[LG Optimus 2x] cojo11:
i try it with ICS 28E and 28G for my Ghostrider Aroma Rom with new Partition Layout,but when i use ext3 or ext4 i got a Bootloop,i put the stuff in the Updater-Script,all runs with Aroma and lokks fine but when i reboot,i got the Bootloop
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Can you confirm, that you have tried to use the full wipe zips with version number "0.4n"?
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
First post updated.

Thanks fly out to cojo11!
[LG Optimus 2x] flat__line:
can we use the zips with teamwinrecovery?

Thanks,
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Yes, this should be possible. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] flat__line:
(slightly) off topic (maybe)

I would like check thoroughly for errors in my internal storage as I get some weird behavior (I already run e2fsck -n on /data and /system and it did not complain, but I would also like to check what is mounted as internal sdcard storage and have all the checks thorough ...).

I think that your full wipe scripts act at 'low' level on the filesystem and are probably getting back errors if any: is it possible to have a log of them? or is there a variant of your scripts that use a format with check? Or could you suggest the 'correct' way to perform this kind of things via adb?

Thanks a lot for your very useful contribs and help, _r
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
These scripts have not been written to check thoroughly for errors, but I still use them regularly, because there is no "fast" way when you like to perform a system update (that's the easy upgrade idea) or a clean install (the full wipe one). Or maybe it already happened to you, that you've forgotten to clean the dalvik cache when installing a theme. Yes, normally this should already do the theme zip, but I've seen already a few, which didn't.

If you're getting some wieird behavior, there is absolutely no way around adb / terminal. But I also would suggest adb, because that's one time when you absolutely love your keyboard. Which wieird behavior do you get if I may ask? Which filesystem do you use on your partitions?

You are right, that the scripts could get back errors, but if so - they just abort on the first error. If you don't see a single line with some error, the scripts ran fine (i.e. which means that every command returned zero as return value). So the probability is high, that there was no error.

-> an example I also would like to add: All rom zips do exactly the same... there are no further checks after formatting (for example) system.

If that is not enough I would strongly suggest to use an unbrick rom version (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1986097 [new layout] or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504280 [old layout]), which recreates every partition from scratch (i.e. including bootloader and overwriting cwm)

If you want do perform such a procedure, but not loosing any data:

- insert a micro sd card

- perform a backup with cwm (I have not used twrp, because I'm absolutely happy with cwm) to the external sd card you've inserted

(- if you have any data on the internal card, move the date temporarily to the external one)

- remove this card

- install an unbrick rom (this is done via nvflash and can be done from a windows or a linux system), which will wipe everything (-> be aware: also the internal sd card!)

- boot up once, finish the google wizard by pressing ok so that you reach the home screen

- reinsert the card

(- move the data from external back to the internal or just leave it at the external [personally I only use the internal sd card for storing cwm backups])

- install anything you like by using an easy-upgrade zip, followed by the rom you had installed before

- and finally: only restore data (in cwm -> advanced backup restore)

If this procedure does not fix any error, I'm pretty sure that either the rom / kernel does something really bad or your internal sd card is broken.
[LG Optimus 2x] flat__line:
Thanks a lot for the infos.

The behaviour I get is that when I flash a set of zips, a system app disappears (it shouldn't, I am not flashing anything weird: Tema CM10.1, pdroid patch, gapps, kowalsky kernel exp 113). But it disappears at random steps of the flashing procedure :(.

I get no explicit errors.

I smartflashed the device a few times and I think that this should be equivalent to the procedure you suggested). I also used two different recoveries (rusty's CWM recovery and tonyp's twrp I also checked their MD5).

I must say that in the past I had some suspect behaviour: I mean, when flashing new roms and kernels you can expect something breaking down but I had to smartflash the device in situations when I _really_ did not expect it.

My warranty is on the closing edge, so I would like return it for repair ASAP if it actually is an internal memory failure, but I would really like to have a way to make the error popping out

Re: [CWM-APP] full_wipe && easy_upgrade_wipe ZIPs [EXT2,3&4], last updated [2012-12-1

@dr4go

I just read this thread from op...but still i'm confused about it...

Simply speaking..this zip file do like a full wipe/partial wipe isn't?like...when upgrading rom...wipe everything except data/cache (easy upgrade) but it can minimise bug if we just wipe system,dalvik,cache?

Sent from my LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
As written in the op these zips are just for conveniency...

Easy Upgrade wipe = format system, cache and remove dalvik-cache from data partition

Full Wipe = format system, cache and data

You could do everything MANUALLY with the recovery itself. I prefer using the zip files. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
That is indeed very wieird. Is it always the same system app or just a random one? Are you sure your "set of zips" doesn't remove the system app with just a "remove" line inside the script?

I also had some really wieird behavior when reaching the limit of the system partition. That's also one reason why I recommend Stefan Gündhör's unbrick zips, because the system partition is created bigger than usual (at least for the old layout [512mb]).

The wieirdest problem I encountered was a corruption of the data partition at points in time when I didn't touch the data partition at all. I'm still not sure why that has happened, because I don't see any reason for that.
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Updated the op - stay tuned for another ROM thread to come. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
Although it's slightly offtopic I'm mentioning it here for those waiting (if any)... originally I wanted to release my ROM before the holiday's, but unfortunately I had not enough time to publish it... the ROM itself is ready - I'm carrying it with me (and also running it right now) the whole time.

I tried to upload it now three times... and three times it has failed to upload.

That's why I've decided to postpone the release about to the 23th-ish of July. And as I've previously stated... don't expect too much, but the ROM itself will come... :)

EDIT: Small update: The ROM is now the second point on my todo list as I still found a problem, which I need to solve first. The second point on the todo list, because I have to update the phone of my girlfriend first. So... probably this weekend / early next week. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatherjack360:
Hi All

I have an international i9100 which has been flashed with the XEU KI4 from the official firmware thread. This has then been rooted with the zerg exploit, still running the signed samsung kernel and no other mods. No yellow triangle is shown on the galaxy s2 boot screen.

When charging my phone I see the normal battery icon with the circle in the middle. If the phone was completely drained of power I then see a battery icon but with a yellow traingle to the right side of it. After a few seconds the normal white dot charging screen comes up.

I have seen this on my phone before prior to the usb charging circuit being replaced by the service centre and am hoping my phone isn't failing again. I was wondering if anyone knows the actual meaning of this battery triangle screen? It looks just like a smaller version of what you see when you run an unsigned kernel.

Is this normal for running a rom which has had the bootloader replaced with the old jig friendly version? Or just an indictator that the battery level is critically low?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
Does it effect the running of your phone? If not, I wouldn't worry about it. My best guess it it's just some function of being low on battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatherjack360:
That is what I hope or it is something which didn't exist in the KE, KF or KG roms. I've had the phone for about 6 months and not seen that screen other than just prior to it requiring servicing for not charging correctly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutmegy:
i've seen this a few times on mine... basically when i've completely drained my battery (a few times over Christmas JD is BAAAAD but so GOOOOOD) and the yellow warning appeared... but after a few minutes it disappeared for me.. so didnt worry
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatherjack360:
Good to know. Always the trouble with having an expensive phone is the panic when it does something you don't expect to see :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
Its normal ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitochong:
Just happened to me, bought 2 samsung gt-i9100 and one of them came with the battery drained. The battery showed with a yellow triangle when I connected it to the charger, then few minutes it went away and its charging perfectly.

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-timeline-leak-shows-scheduled-tango-apollo-plans

Pocketnow's tweet shows they somehow have leaked timeline and Apollo seems to be at least 9 months away from now and probably a year away!

I am not a very happy camper! Hope it's wrong ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nitin88g:
I doubt it. Since Nokia is pushing MS to bring the Apollo soon and promised in Nokia World Event that the Apollo is coming in Q2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] urrabe:
I suspect, taht 1gen phones won't get Apollo...but i'm waitnig for Tango)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
It will be disappointing if 1st generation dont get official update. And the dates; it's non sense. So Tango will compete with iOS 6?! Tango couldnt compete with iOS 5. Maybe Apollo.

So far what I heard about Tango, it's just a minor update. At least I expect Skype. At least.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amritpal2489:
I dont think these dates are true
[Windows Phone 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
Tom Warren says it's an old roadmap.

Sadly, probably not...
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Skype is one hell of a project to make even application for, now imagine integrating it! :D

I don't expect Apollo to arrive on 1st gen devices - it is targetted for dualcore devices from what I heard and GPUs with great perfomance - something that original 1st gen devices don't have (2nd gen with Adreno 205 is many times more powerful).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ChrisKringel:
I doubt that. In order to support cheap handsets they have to integrate support for single core processors as well. But I think we'll have to wait for an official response by microsoft...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
+1. I expect Apollo to hit first gen devices as well as second (and even third until then) devices. Of course first gen devices will not be able to use all the new feature that may come with Apollo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wpxbox:
Yes its an old Story. MS Nerd was first to break it http://msnerd.tumblr.com/post/11725284513/rhythm
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Oh nice. No Skype for us.

Nice, MS. Thanks for screwing up my Keyboard, do nothing about, and dont even release the freaking Skype in Fall. Yeah, because.. The Keyboard is not THAT useful. And bugs are just fixed each 6 months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
At least at one point yearly major updates were the plan, but maybe they've moved things up http://www.phonearena.com/news/Microsoft-job-posting-confirms-yearly-Windows-Phone-updates_id19578. I personally would be surprised to see Apollo or whatever the next major update is called as soon as some are hoping, its no secret MS is not a fast moving company.
[Windows Phone 7 General] svtfmook:
does anyone have a change log for tango?

apollo is probably going to be held on windows 8 release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
They need to have a Skype App out ASAP. If they want to go deep integration with the OS in Apollo, fine, but to be credible at all MSFT needs to put out an application with at least the same functionality they have on the iPhone and Android
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I think it's not as easy as it seems, since notifications would have to be more reliable than they currently are. Sometimes - even though it seems app dependent - notifications appear slightly delayed. Which is okay for Twitter, Facebook, even messengers. But for voice and video calling apps like Skype they should appear directly in order not to miss the call. Take a look at Tango for example where loads of users complained about missed calls due to notifications being too late.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Cheap != not enough powerful! There might be chipsets out there that are more powerful (or the same perfomance but more efficient) for less money than were 1st gens.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Tango is this years NoDo and Apollo is this years Mango. Not sure why this would be surprising to anyone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
From my readings Nodo was better than Tango. Tango supposedly will add nothing new for us, but it will add support for smaller chassis aka cost effective phones for the emerging markets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
+1

But small part in me is hoping they fix few small bugs like keyboard disappearance, brightness/light sensors etc on certain devices
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Yeah, there is nothing really official about what Tango is bringing. The recent rumors are LTE support (which is pretty important) and back in August there were screenshots of a WP7 OS Build that had system-wide search in it, so there is a chance there might be in there also.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CADude:
As long as Tango brings us native Skype support, I don't think people will be that upset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
That depends how long will it take and how it will be implemented. I still dont understand why MS left out facebook messages. They are really important.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
it won't. The Skype purchase became official in October. Not anywhere near enough time to integrate something like that into the OS. Apollo

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

I think soon after Mango released (or before) Facebook chat and messenger became one and the same. I wonder if known upcoming changes had anything to do with the missing functionality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ so you're saying they didn't have any foresight? They didn't plan?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
My Facebook has chat and message integrated since 1 year and half from now. And this was public. Anyone could try the new message system. No excuses for MS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
It happened after Mango went RTM, as far as I know. I'm not saying this is the reason, but it is a possibility. I don't know that you want to RTM your OS (where it is non-trivial to do updates) where one of the key features is largely untested.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
Waiting another year for a decent update is really disappointing. I can't hold onto my first gen WP till then and 2nd Gen aren't good enough to upgrade and sign a 2 yr contract. This puts me in a bad spot. I might have to switch to android for a while.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I think this is one of the fastest update schedule in all OSes. Plus what makes you think 2nd Gen phones aren't good enough? Try HTC Titan and you won't regret at all! Android official updates don't come quicker than this schedule either! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
As long as MSFT was in discussions to buy out Skype, legally they could not have worked on anything. So pre the buyout the responsibility to make a Skype for Windows Phone would have been on Skype.

Antitrust and all that.

Not having Skype is bad. But I am sure when all is said and done it will be better in WP than any of the other mobile OSes ;)
