[HTC EVO 3D] Raillery:
If I do the OTA stock update, will I be left with 1.5hboot (I'm on 1.4, rooted, currently)? If so, how do I go about getting the latest update minus hboot 1.5?

Or will I be left with s-off and be able to downgrade back to 1.4?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] bpdamas:
You will be left with s-off and hboot 1.5. You would then have to flash a custom recovery and reinstall su. However, the update won't work unless you have a stock recovery installed.

Nvm, just gonna do it through a stock rom

Hi,

I installed the EOS 4.0.3 ICS ROM on my Xoom WiFi, but before I did that, I did a Nandroid backup of the rooted honeycomb ROM that I had before. I don't know how it happened, but I accidentally deleted that backup. Now I wanted to restore that backup so I can get the OTA upgrade to the official ICS. The build number that I had in stock honeycomb was HTK75D, I don't know if that matters or not but I just wanted to say it just in case. So all that I really want to do is to install a ROM on my Xoom that will allow me to get the official OTA upgrade to ICS, and then reroot again. If there is any way to do this please leave a comment. Thank you.
[Xoom General] jmgib:
You can find the stock firmware at MotoDev. It also includes the fastboot commands to flash the images. Re-locking the bootloader I think would be optional to getting the update. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xoom General] steineronie:
I looked there and I couldn't find img for the build number HTK75D. Where can I find that one?

Thank you for replying :)
[Xoom General] jmgib:
You will need to just install the images for the Wifi Xoom and then just update it to the current release.
[Xoom General] steineronie:
Can you just install any build number, or does it have to be one spicific one?
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
Again. Flash the OFFICIAL images.

Stop worrying about build number crap. Official images will go through the ota process right away up until at least the last honeycomb version. If your device is already on the ice cream sandwich roll out list it will get that as well.
[Xoom General] jmgib:
For a US Wifi Xoom, you want this. It is for build HWI69. Once you have it flashed you'll just need to keep checking for system updates until you're back on the current release. There are no more updated images at this time. It's possible that if you wait, they will release an image that contains the ICS release, but there is no guarantee.
[Xoom General] steineronie:
Can i still use the universal Xoom root for the ICS update, or is there any other way to root when it has been updated to ICS, or can I not root once I have updated to ICS?
[Xoom General] FuturePrimitive:
I believe that universal root works with ICS.

At the moment I'm using 4.0.2.A.0.42 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19808360&postcount=3.

In x10 mini pro I changed it by editing keyprint.xml, but here I don't have that file.

I'm still new to root files, so maybe I didn't see something similar to that. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
How about something like this but that is a paid app.And here a free one but beta.Another free one,not beta :)

Or select writing language as German and you get qwertz ;).

btw I don't think new fw gives the layout you ask in English language,I use 0.62 and I got a qwerty keyboard selecting English language.

I am running CyanogenMod 7.1 (stable 6.5.8). I think it's great. Thanks to all who have contributed.

The only issue I am experiencing is with USB tethering. When I use Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, I have no issues whatsoever. When I use USB tethering, my internet connection randomly drops. When I turn off USB tethering for about 5 seconds and then turn it back on, it connects almost instantly. Sometimes I stay connected for 15 minutes - sometimes 1 minute.

If I were experiencing the same issues with the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, I'd suspect I was working with a poor data connection - but the Wi-Fi hotspot is completely stable and almost nevers drops the data connection.

I prefer using USB over Wi-Fi because of battery life on my phone and laptop.

Any suggestions as to how to resolve would be appreciated including recommendations for other USB tethering apps.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] snsd:
Thanks for the response. Sincerely appreciated.

So I installed PdaNet and my phone froze up after I connected it. Something to do with the USB drivers I suspect. After removing the battery to reboot it, I removed the LG United drivers, reinstalled PdaNet and all seemed fine. However, I'm still getting the frequent disconnects.

When I go into Device Manager, I see 3 unknown devices all referring to "on LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device". Are the drivers that get installed with PdaNet all that is required or do I need the LG drivers as well? If I need the LG drivers, could you please point me to the best download location as there seem to be so many variation of them. (I have an LG Optimus T).

Any suggestions on how to rectify would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any further direction.

[Nexus S General] bdawg31:
You can also copy your backups from your sdcard using adb.

Synatax:

C:\Program Files (x86\android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ ./clockworkmod/backup

This will copy all backups in tour clockworkmod/backup/ directory to the currently open location on your pc with the correct paths for organization sake.

Then just delete all or some of the backups on your sdcard using root explorer (definatly easier than using shell) to make the amount of free space you desire.

Ready for more backups and you have the backups in case you need to perform disaster recovery.
[Nexus S General] Skunk Ape1:
It's easy enough to just do it through the USB connection to your computer. Cut and paste to a backup folder on your computer. I only keep two backups (at the most) on my phone.

Curse these programs that won't use newer su/busybox combinations.

After installing one of the latest blur ROMs, I wasn't able to get webtop2sd to run (a very common problem), nor Cisco's Anyconnect VPN client. webtop2sd did the usual FC, while Anyconnect would complain that it couldn't start a "critical component". Going back to the one I was running before the upgrade didn't help either.

These problems are not unique to the beta, nor this ROM, but here's what I had to do:

Follow the steps in this thread starting in step 6:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21155110&postcount=852.

Total props to dicksteele for the original post. Thought it might be better to put out here since this seems to be a recurring issue on most ROMs now.

Specifically,

Yes, webtop2sd was very picky to the point of needing busybox from the installer, not the identical one installed by the ROM. Once I got webtop2sd running, I tried Anyconnect again and it started right up.

I can understand webtop2SD not working since it hasn't been updated for a long time, but a company like Cisco should be sure their tool, available on the Market, works with the latest superuser/busybox combinations.

I would go so far as to say that if you are having trouble with any programs requiring root access, try the steps above used to get webtop2SD working. Hope this helps others stuck on similar issues with these newer ROMs.

Well to be honest they didn't "have" to do anything. But they did cause of all the backlash that was going on. They could of just had the program installed and made it so we could remove it and I'm sure people would of been happy with that also. But it was baked into the rom and kernel itself so yeah them doing this just made them save some face is all.

Is that a diff of the WHOLE kernel tree or just dparm.c? The diff command at the top of the output seems to indicate it is just that 1 file.

I apologize for the stupid question - but when I go check for an update I can't find one. I'm rooted running stock EK02 and it just tells me that no updates are available. Is this because I'm rooted or merely because they don't roll out the OTAs all at the same time?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
It's not a stupid question. At this point Sprint has not released the EL29 OTA. You won't have an update, but there are EL29 based ROMs in the E4GT dev forum, including a "stock" ROM.

*Threadhijack*

I'm very aware of the reason the development forums require 10 posts to post in, but I can't bring myself to post 10 things on topics that don't interest me (well, 9 with this one). How did you guys deal with this?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Remember you don't need 10 posts to PM the developer of a ROM if you have found a bug. Most users now consider the Development section as the "place" to post anything as it gets a little more traffic. You don't need 10 posts to read or download ROMs.

Unless your actively developing/developed something then there should be no reason to post there.

You should read, search & then ask.

My absolute hate is "Thanks" posts. If I see them I will delete them. They do nothing, but "boost" the post count. If you want to say thanks, hit the "Thanks" button. Or Buy them a beer/coffee/other if they have a donation link. Or send them a PM personally thanking them.

[TouchPad General] ziyaad89:
since upgrading from 3.02 to 3.04, my touchpad has been giving me a lot of trouble. I lost android access and had to reflash moboot, after which i found out i couldnt access CWM. I tried flashing it through ACME but it didn't work. Installed Xron and the files got mixed up with the previous android version.

I'd like to wipe everything off including the SD. And then do a fresh restore with WebOS doctor after which im gonna install CM9

Any advice?
[TouchPad General] pworcester:
I'd run ACMEUninstaller first, then webosdoctor.
[TouchPad General] ziyaad89:
ACMEUninstaller repartitions the drive and removes android. But webOS doctor doesn't wipe the SD.
[TouchPad General] a40dayflud818:
ACMEUninstaller will completely remove Android. WebOS doctor will restore the webOS side of your tablet to its original "out of the box" state. Unless your intentions are to brick your device by "wiping" it clean, I would agree with the ACMEUninstaller/webOS doctor method.
[TouchPad General] NeonMonster:
I'm confused. Currently, my SD partitions are kinda wacked up because I had alot of stuff on the WebOS side before installing android.

Have Xron on it currently.

Should I use ACMEUninstaller, reinstall Android CM7, then flash CM9 straight over?

Or should I just wipe, then flash CM9 over?
[TouchPad General] a40dayflud818:
I could be mistaken, but the OP's original question was to basically start from a "clean slate". So we were just saying to use ACMEUninstaller then webOS Doc to achieve that. If you're concerned about the partitions and you don't mind the wipe, then that's what I would do if I were you.

Leo will probably have better input than me, but if I were in your shoes, I would do the ACMEUinstaller on your current version of Android. You don't have to reinstall CM7, just make sure you put the ACMEInstaller2 in the appropriate spot.
[TouchPad General] ziyaad89:
How about the SD?/
[TouchPad General] xxmastermindxx:
WebOS and Android use the same partition for SD, which is /media. You can wipe that yourself if you want by just mounting to computer and deleting what's in there. But yea, there are files for both systems in that partition, nothing that will brick you by deleting them though.
[TouchPad General] a40dayflud818:
Ziyad I'm not trying to be mean, but either I am not understanding your question or you're not understanding our answers. I'm going to break down your thread title bit by bit...

"How to remove android..." Pause there. Use ACMEUninstaller.

"...wipe SD..." I am assuming you realize the Touchpad does not have an SD. So we will continue.

"...and start with a FRESH Touchpad." WebOS Doctor. This is a sure way to do it. WEBOS Doc will reinstall a FRESH copy of webOS onto your Touchpad, bringing it to out of the box condition. It will wipe the /media file like the previous post mentioned.
[TouchPad General] pen.suhl:
Okay so you currently have android installed, and want to upgrade to CM9 but also repair you touchpad. I would recommend the following:

1. run ACMEUninstaller

2. run WebOS doctor

3. delete everything off your /SD card that you don't want/need

4. update to WebOS 3.0.5

5. install CM9/moboot 3.0.5/CWM using ACMEInstaller2
[TouchPad General] ziyaad89:
Thanks a lot for your replies

But I still can't access CWM through moboot. I'm doing it manually by pushing the uImage.clockworkmod via novacom to get access and flash zips.

I even tried reinstalling CWM through ACMEInstaller2(flashed CM9 on my touchpad btw)
[TouchPad General] madflava54:
Can't you just do a full wipe in WebOS and then literally start at a clean slate, i.e. no Android and cleaned SD card?
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
What you want to do is follow THIS GUIDE HERE. It shows you how to completely remove Android, re-partition the device, and start completely fresh as if you had just opened the box of your brand-new HP Touchpad when it ran 3.0.0. I follow this guide about every 2-3 months just to make sure everything's running clean and good, and I have yet to ever run into problems.

It completely restores it to factory levels - partitions, WebOS 3.0.0, nothing else. It is your go-to guide on what you should do to start fresh.

From there, read the guide on Rootz and install CM9, and then from there, flash whatever ROM you wanna try out and enjoy.
