Here's mine, feel free to post your own folks

Flash these Splash Screens at your own risk. It is not my fault if you have a faulty usb cable or computer, or accidently unplug your phone while flashing! But the chance of a soft brick is very small :rolleyes:

Fastboot images to flash in fastboot:

Here is a .zip attached below with all these splash screens ready to flash in fastboot with pics that match the names of each image to flash :cool:

How to flash: fastboot flash splash1 name.raw565
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Thanks mate! I used your thread a long way back and rewrote the script (for my personal use only, didn't put it up) to work with the g2, but I lost that way back when :o

This will come in handy, I need a new splash screen :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
No worries, I just uploaded the flashable splash screens they are the same same size as my device. I also attacked the script to the main post.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashaman_Kupo:
There is an app called bootflash pro in the market that will flash and jpg as your splash. I'd recommend that you have the pics at 480x800.

Works for me all the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
This is not a app this is a linux script but thanks for the tip. The splash screens I already posted are 480x800 and the script is already set to convert any images (not just jpg) to splash screens 480x800. It's not recommended to have them as 480x800 but it's a requirement! If you don't have them set to the right size the script will not convert the images because it could brick your phone flashing a wrong size image.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ZaIINN:
EDIT: I factory reset and it works fine now... still not sure why swapping the internal SD with the external SD would affect the market at all >_<

Hello everyone,

I recently did the mod to swap my external SD with the internal SD and it worked just fine! But then I noticed that my apps wouldn't connect to the internet along with my market app.

While those didn't have access, when connected, I can still use the browser fine and also my GrooveIP Google-Voice voip app works just fine as well... I don't quite understand why all other apps + the Market do not work at all...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
Maybe just put the market app. back onto the internal SD. Not a big deal.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] covert7:
Let's say you're a bonehead and you accidentally install a Verizon SBF onto your CellSouth Milestone. Now you're screwed because you've just overwritten the radio on the device and it will only connect to Verizon. That's bad!

What are you going to do? Google the crap out of things praying that someone somewhere has uploaded a Csouth Milestone radio or stock SBF. But your searches turn up empty and you resign yourself to having to purchase a replacement phone...

Well now hopefully you won't have to do that because after HOURS of searching a bazillion different forums and threads I finally found what will fix that terrible (and almost costly) mistake.

You'll need to download and use RSDlite of course but here are two links to a stock Cellular South MilestoneSBF file:

Very interesting... so if we get stuck in a bootloop we could just recover from a Nandroid backup without having to revert to stock, etc.

Sent from my MB865 with Tapatalk... pardon my swype! :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Too bad that wont work for us... it is in the boot.img, and we can't touch that until we get the bootloader unlocked.

Good find though. :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
I am pretty sure my phone was bootloop and how would you get it into recovery right now? i had to use the fastboot files to do it. it is a good idea though
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Ah, nevermind :p

But just wondering... if it's based off of CWM, and we can reboot into CWM, and we can get CWM to appear on every boot... then shouldn't we be able to get something like this to work without modifying the boot.img?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope, if you use the razr boot hijack, it is exactly that, a hijack. It uses several "android/Linux" binaries that it "hijacks", to allow you get into CWM, just before the android UI comes up, but after the kernel is started. To get the particular hack you mentioned, working, you will have to modify the boot image, to include the recovery on boot, that will start just before the kernel is actually started/starting.

Like others have said, that since we have the fxz it does not really matter. Since I have really been doing some serious hacking and development on this phone, I have soft bricked or boot-looped my phone I can't count how many times, and even the razr CWM on boot does not always help. A good backup from CWM, and the fxz is where it is at, and really the best solution for things like this.

Most people on this site who have this phone really should not worry too much about these things, because the likelihood of doing this is very small unless you really are doing some serious hacking or development work like lfaber06 and I are. We will usually not release something to the rest of the world without testing it first, and giving explicit directions on how to do the job without bricking the phone. For those brave souls that are trying to do some dev work, and are new to it, until we get the bootloader unlocked, again the best bet is the fxz and a good backup from CWM.

still not workign for me.

tried to re-install it a few times

when i boot in recovery with Vol++ i see the booting into recovery message and then after a second or so vibrate again and start normal boot
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] cp_kirkley:
I am very excited to see this news - though i'm going to wait until there is a semi-stable, well establish path for Root. Hopefully this achievement leads to the Thinkpad Tablet getting much more attention, its a pretty badass tablet and should prove to be a pretty good performer once all the Lenovo crapware is tossed out. Glad I remained faithful and patient!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
It's a bug.

I've already noticed that factory reset format internal memory (=SDCard).

but never had problem with external SDCard
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
the internal sdcard is data, to be more exactly it's a folder called /data/media. So its not a bug, just a little unlucky datastructure.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
yes, I've read your previous message just after posting mine.

Understand now why it works like that, but it's a little bit confusing and not very handy.

They should make real separate partition for sdCard, not emulate the media folder as a drive...

Now, I praticaly don't use internal memory anymore to store data (I use it only for temp files)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Janis:
delete
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
In this way, internal memory is not very handy for those who flash alot.

I'm satisfied to have bought only a 16gb tablet (and a 32gb SD card); because now, I only use SD card memory anyway...

ps: could it be possible to make a script to do a "factory reset" without erasing "mnt/media" ?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] froader:
Recovery updates

I've noticed a lot of requests for jcase to make updates and others have been patching themselves.

You should head over to his github and send him some pull requests for patches.

Make it a team effort.

Now we just need some ROM dev.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Kryston:
You should remake this thread, and post all those links and how to's on the first page and keep it up to date, its better then reading alll those pages.

so it will be much easier to find for new users, i needed 2 hours now to find this....

btw nice work ;)

EDIT: Btw on the asus transformer they added or maybe it was standard, an option to switch between sd card and internal sd card...

such an option would be nice.

And one Question i am running the US Version now on me _WE Tablet, is that ok or will there be any problems in future?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jhankinson:
It was a bug due to a symlink between /data/media and /sdcard that caused the internal sdcard to be wiped every time. There was an updated version here that fixes the problem. It does not work on ROW tablets though. I don't know if there is a ROW version with the fix, but maybe you could ask realyst2k if he could incorporate the patch that was used on the other version.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
The version you mention skip sdcard for backup, but not while wipe data!

Wipe data in cwm erase the sdcard folder!!!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
It seems the ROW version does not have the problem ... leastways I don't seem to have the issue. Luck or stupidity, I'm not sure. LOL
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jhankinson:
Good to know, I haven't wiped data with it so I was unaware.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] paperclip69:
Has anyone tested this port while the device is encrypted?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
ICS from Lenovo

Has anyone received the ICS OTA from Lenovo? I won't get it as I have made CWR persistent, and I'm not un-rooting until I know ICS is available.

MrDeadlocked and his crew have a beta 3 ICS out for my Notion Ink Adam and that virtually reinvigorated that tablet. I love the TPT but it really needs ICS. There are so many neat features it isn't funny. :confused:
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] paperclip69:
Ics isn't released from lenovo yet, they have a may/june release date, although i have to say I think the US wil have a longer date as they are having to send updates off for certification which seems to take weeks or months for some updates, I am hoping we can edit the update package and upgrade with root preinstalled.

Cheers

Tom
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] rangercaptain:
There are two versions for the CWM recovery within this thread -- the jcase version in the first post, and later, one that was adjusted by Koshu to skip the wiping of the /data directory. How can you tell them apart? Both show CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] konker:
Can I restore a Nandroid back of 0075_US to 0089_US?

My TPT is having issues with device encryption.

The details are available here.

I had the idea of acquiring a 0075_US Nandroid backup to restore to my current rooted 0089_US TPT.

Does anyone know if this would work to roll back my TPT to 0075_US thereby allowing me to regain device encryption functionality again?

Anyone? I'd really like to get this up and running, but have no clue what to do here.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Exe557:
This can be caused by some application from Lenovo Mobility Manager. It will remount the filesystem as read-only several seconds after you mounted it as RW.

Try the following:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

wait 10 seconds and type

mount

If /system is mounted as RO this will solve your problem :

mount -o rw,remount /system; mv system/bin/aba /system/bin/aba_bak
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] qdmcgraw:
Tried that just now and got "Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory failed on 'system/bin/aba' - Read-only file system"

Edit: actually, I think there's something that's gone screwy with my device's root. I'll see about resolving that issue and then try all this again.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Exe557:
try ;

mount -o rw,remount /system; mv system/bin/aba /system/bin/aba_bak

I'm not allowed yet to post the link to the thinkpadforum but you can find it there.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] qdmcgraw:
I actually did try that as well, also to no avail. I posted a thread asking for help with my Thinkpad's apparent root problems, so hopefully resolving that will fix this as well.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Exe557:
So what output do you get?

What happens when you do the su command?

Does it change from $ to #?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] qdmcgraw:
Yeah, but it seems like I can't get anything to mount as RW. I've tried doing the same in Root Explorer, but when I attempt to do anything with files that are RO, it gives me an error.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] rangercaptain:
Can you boot normal? Then open superuser once and set it to automaticly give permission. Also, did you use ota rootkeeper?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
The system partition remounts itself as read only after sometimes. So you might have only a short period of time to call another command. It could help to write the remount and the command you want to execute in one line like this:

mount -o rw,remount /system && <put other command here>

Also I had some problems with the normal "mount" command. Using busybox worked more stable on my device:

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

or

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system && <put other command here>
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] nsxt99:
it always show access denied when i type "SU" in ADB :(
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Janis:
Getting back to stock:

What I'm gathering is that you have to go here: http://download.lenovo.com/slates/think/tablet1 download the update you're on now, and extract/unzip the files that you didn't back up like the install instructions said (by renaming & copying the new one into your your system/etc). Put them in the right place (keeping backups of your old files by renaming them before you copy over any new files), and them complete the uninstall instructions. there are two files

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh (Script)

/system/recovery-from-boot.p (Patch. I think that's where it goes, that may be where I'm screwing up.)

How you copy them is up to you. There are a few ways. I prefer using EStrongs File Explorer or Root Explorer and renaming & copypasting from my external sd. A Faster way is using the push command via ADB.

The uninstall/restore stock directions didn't work for me, even though I followed the install instructions to a T and had my backups.

I'm wondering if anyone can share a successful restore-back-to-stock story. I have yet to hear one, and believe me, I've looked. If anyone cares to correct me where I'm wrong so that I'm not leading someone over the edge of a cliff, that would be helpful, too.

(Another thing I wanted to request is if the different instructions could be in different colors or spaced out more. I found that when looking back & forth between my c-prompt and the instructions, it was easy to start looking at the wrong set. No biggie, I could have shrunk my browser window, but I can imagine that someone might screw up something dd-caliber that could have been avoided with a little HTML. Fussy stuff. I get paid to be picky.)

Now for the selfish part: I'm sending mine in for a GPS antenna repair. If anyone has any suggestions about whether or not I can send it in with CWM, if it would be helpful to wipe the system partition first, if they really won't care how I've "mangled" the software because this is a hardware issue, or any other suggestions, I could use some steerage. I' haven't worked with Lenovo since 2002, and that was corporate. The boot animation is what screams "hacked." It's an XDA logo.
