Does anyone know how to achieve temp root with our phone? I just want the official stock with bootloader and everything but with bloat apps removed. Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
I posed the same question awhile back. This should answer your queation:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
But that doesn't work with EL29
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Read the Auto Root thread, it will give you pointers to get EL29 rooted.

Basically just flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature to get root. If you want CWM, use the Auto Root package, Option C, to install EL29+CWM-Rogue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
i have used your files always. but i just want to know if there's a temp root for stock like z4 or something. i dont want CWM or anything. im very familiar with your work and very grateful for your work but im looking for a different option where i dont want to keep root
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Hey loco, kinda curious, why exactly are you looking for a temporary root solution?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
well for some urge, i just want newest bootloaders, official untouched software loaded onto my phone. I'm finding these ROMs to be not as good as stock. For example dialer codes on deodexed ROMS can't do "*#0*#". I just want temp root to gett rid of bloat, apply the tethering mod, and then remove root. I just dont want my files to be pre modified or touched by someone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
There is no root exploit available in the way you want at the moment. However, I can assure you that if you flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click, then do whatever cleanup you want, then use Auto Root Option B to unroot, you will be at 100% stock Modem, Kernel, and ROM (except for the changes YOU made)

I'm not sure the distinction you are making is really significant, as adding 3 files to the ROM, doing your thing, then removing them isn't going to result in any "changes" in behavior, certainly not the ones you listed above.

The packages I put together are not custom ROMs. They are the minimum needed to get root. Nothing else is changed. The changes made to add root are completely reversible by running Option B in Auto Root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
How come people installing AIO over your EL29 are having issues compared to those who put AIO on Calk's pulled odex stock EL29? Those type of discrepancies get me frustrated. I'm not saying anything is wrong, but idk :/

the issues on the pre-rooted EL29 can be pointed out in the AIO thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I think i found a way to try out tomorrow.

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper

I can use that to keep root after taking an OTA. so i can use auto root from EG30 stock and use that app to preserve root with the OTA

A review from the app:

"Kept Root After Upgrade to Sprint Epic 4G

Epic 4g is the Sprint version of the Galaxy II. I installed the app before doing an OTA upgrade today. I backed up root. I did the over the air upgrade, no more root access. I opened OTA RootKeeper, pressed the button for restore, and I have root again. AMAZING!"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Well if you want to be nice, you can point me at the posts so I don't have to hunt for them, but I'll look into it.

I don't know what the issue is, but I run MD5 checksums against the product of the EL29 OTA updates against the pre-rooted EL29 and it is a 100% match.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Honestly those posts came out when you released your EL29 root. I'll hunt for them tomorrow. UMDNJ exams in the morning, sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Silence.. Complete silence. LoL. Don't sweat it no need to check Sfhub, all your **** is solid..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I found the posts. I'm looking into it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenazrael:
HAHA exactly how I felt. Because of Sfhub's work, I was able to easily root, install CWM + EL13 and finally the Unamed ROM.

I could not in a million years imagine having to write the code or issue the commands to make all that happen.

And then here comes this guy still wet behind the ears ... enough said.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I agree with you completely 80% of threads on xda are usally user error. Do you know how much actual reading you would have to do the skim through the nonsense people do. If you are running Blazer and flash and AIO for Calks - guess what you may have issues. These are the people posting that nonsense...sfhub dont drive yourself crazy since if he temp roots or regular root he is still changing files ......**smdh**

Developers and Themers who give out great directions in their OP I Thank You

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I'm sorry if the problems were user error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I said I don't mind changing the files after stock...I mind the pre rooted stuff and thank sfhub for his help...either help or relax
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I looked into this and figured out what was going on. It took some digging because the MD5 checksums for all the relevant files matched exactly so it wasn't anything obvious.

Contrary to what was suggested in the posts I read, it actually isn't anything I'm doing in my package causing the issue. Ironically it is because my package is behaving *closer* to stock that the AIO isn't working with it.

The AIO actually does NOT work with the stock untouched ROM, flashed with ODIN direct from Samsung's leaked tar file. I discovered this because my first step was to flash the untouched leaked Samsung ROM (just the ROM) then apply the AIO. That basically results in lots of FCs.

The reason for the FCs is because the AIO is signed with a generic cert (while the rest of the system is signed by a Samsung cert) and if things aren't done in a very specific way, it'll result in signature failures which then deny permission to some basic functions needed by the system. That causes a cascade of failures and an unusable system that keeps trying to restart.

So the reason it was working with Calkulin's EL29 update.zip wasn't because the files are different or anything "special" being done. The relevant files are actually exactly the same as can be seen by a MD5 checksum comparison.

The reason it worked is because the AIO (the odexed one, when used with an otherwise stock system signed by Samsung), either by design or by accident, depends on some caching of signature checks, based on file timestamps, to work. If the file timestamps are done in a certain way, it works. If the timestamps are the "stock" ones, as provided by the EL29 ODIN tar leak from samfirmware, it doesn't work.

Since my stuff is as close as possible to the EL29 leak with just root added, it has the same behavior as the stock Samsung EL29 leak, namely it doesn't work with the AIO mod.

Using this knowledge I was able to get the AIO working with stock leaked EL29 (and consequently my ODIN One-Clicks). To get it working, every app and framework file that the AIO package *modifies* needs to first have its timestamp reset prior to flashing the AIO.

I created an update.zip to do this for you.

So the process basically goes like this:

1) flash pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click

AND

install CWM

2) boot into CWM

3) flash the EL29 AIO Pre-Flash [update-el29-AIO-preflash.zip]

AND

boot into Android

4) boot into CWM

5) flash the EL29 AIO update.zip

AND

boot into Android

There, done, EL29 AIO works.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
This might be the dumbest question in this forum but i'll ask anyway.

Planning to get the white note tomorrow. I have fairly new blue jeans that stained an old white phone cover. Is it possible that it may stain the white note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aigoya:
Haha sorry.

If you buy new jeans and wear white shoes, the jean color may stain the shoes.

My old galaxy s2's white case got some blue stains on it.

Just asking if it will stain the phone. Very dumb question, i know =(.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjimenezjj:
My guess is that it would indeed stain the cover. My raw denim bought a while back stained everything from my shirts to my shoes so I would place my phone in my jacket or shirt pocket.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sterfreak:
I have a Samsung Epic 4g running the latest Cyanogenmod 7 nightly. What I'm trying to do is this: From Clockworkmod, mount USB storage, and from that, connect the phone to a computer and use the SD card as a bootable USB device.

I'm using SARDU to make a multiboot image for Linux, Gparted, etc. but to no avail. The phone is for some reason, listed as a FDD instead of a bootable USB. When booting from the phone anyways, it merely displays a copyright screen of Syslinux instead of loading the SARDU menu.

I've managed to format the SD card in such a way that it is listed as a USB device in my computer's BIOS, but then the SD card isn't recognized by android and is considered "damaged".

I know this has been asked a few times before, but nothing is quite like what I'm trying to do, and none of them have an exact method on how to do this.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G General] Diablo67:
Heres about the craziest but cool idea i've seen for the EVO yet,check out this device,if you love to game,this is for you,its called "EVO-Tainment".....

If you liked the idea of the EVO-Tainment gaming system but thought the execution was rather unwieldy, then check out G&E reader bradleyw801's more streamlined version of the handheld rig that mates an HTC EVO with some Wii controllers.Hes named it the EVOcade and if you want to make one for yourself, bradleyw801 has kindly put together a quick tutorial and a video to show and tell you how to do it.

Here's what you need to make your own EVOcade rig:

•Rooted HTC EVO 4G with wiimote app

•Wii Remote

•Wii Classic Controller Pro

•Nyko Classic Controller Grip - only the clear plastic piece is used since the Pro controller already has grips

•Windshield mount for EVO - no universal solution for this, but here's a low-profile option to consider

•Super Glue

•Something to use as a spacer - bradleyw801 bought a roll of magnetic strip, cut/shaped it with a razor knife, and used it to fill gaps and provide more contact for the Super Glue

Heres a "How To Video"

http://youtu.be/qw_UBLt-Ckk

Proving that HTC EVO 4G owners are a creative, resourceful, and somewhat wacky bunch, a fellow by the name of Jack Malone has gone ahead and created this crazy-looking thing he calls the EVO-Tainment.

WFB Gadgets has plans to get an "injection molded plastic version of this system" made for all the EVO gamers out there who like to buy things off the shelf, but DIYers can replicate this Frankintendo (that's Frankenstein and Nintendo, by the way) creation out of a universal GPS mount, modified Wii racing wheel, Wii classic game controller, Wiimote, and some velcro by themselves. Since getting something like this mass-produced, even on a small scale, won't happen overnight, interested parties should feel free to take on the project and maybe see if they can get the EVO-Tainment to level up in the Design Worlds or something.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reige1:
Just wanted to know if there is a way to make it so when you push the power button your nook will boot up (or lesson the time needed to hold in). It seems like I have to push really hard and long for anything to happen. I already know you can remap the keys to something else, but haven't seen anything on this idea.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irisclara:
Typically I have to hold in on the power button for 3-5 seconds to power on the Nook. This is because the short press is used for sleep/wake. It would be bad if you were trying to put the device to sleep and ended up rebooting. You

can

remap the keys but I don't know how without researching the subject.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Haven't seen of anyone remapping the Power Button. Pretty vital button IMO. But I've noticed the longer you have the NC the likelihood of it wearing a bit increases. I have to hold mine down a while...sometimes even pressing it twice. You have to realize that the internal components aren't made to last forever so I'd suggest go light when pressing. Granted, I've had my original over a year and have no clue how many times I've flashed it so I do expect mine to wear out one day.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reige1:
That's the reason why I wanted to know if it's possible to decrease the time it takes to hold it down. I've only had my nook for couple weeks now but I want to last for as long as possible.
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
OK I am still a bit confused/overwhelmed with how to get my phone to the OTA update. I am unlocked, rooted, stock ROM, and have AmonRa recovery. Just wanted to make sure i have all my ducks in a row before pulling the trigger on this thing.

1. Make a nandroid backup...CHECK...one thing i do know how to do :)

2. I know I will have to revert back to stock recovery for the OTA to go through.

-I am going to used Clean flash to flash the stock recovery (as it seems to me to be the most noob friendly way)

-Once i have flash stock recovery with clean flash I am good to go recovery wise, i.e. that's all i have to do to replace AmonRa?

-Will replacing AmonRa give me issues with my nandroid since i used AmonRa to make it?

3. Then go into settings and proceed with the OTA

4. After OTA completes flash (with Cleanflash) AmonRa to replace stock recovery

-do I have to delete anything with the stock recovery?

5. Restore nandroid backup to restore root?

Thanks guys in advanced...I am determined to figure this thing out, not only for this but I am still trying to wrap my brain around all the terminology and all the processes not just for this but I really want to branch out and install custom ROMs as well. Might look at making some instructional videos for us noob Rezound users that learn better my seeing something done versus reading how its done. Also if anyone is willing to jump on teamview and help me out that is a option as well.

and again THANKS.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
1) Make nandroid

2) Go to the first post in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467329 and download the ROM. Note, all you have to do here, is download and flash.

a) To flash, get into recovery

b)go to option to flash .zip menu

C)if you downloaded this with your phone (you should have) you need to go into the "download" folder

d)click on the ota update zip.

3) IF your wifi and wireless tether are not working after you have flashed! Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467793 first post and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!

a) the ph98img needs to be on the root of your sd card. The root of your sd card is when you have it plugged into your computer as a disk drive, its the first set of folders that pops up when you open the drive for your sd card. (if that makes any sense)

Voola, you are now on the new ROM, with wifi working.

eta a-d and if you scroll through recovery with volume keys, select with power key. Follow the instructions after the rom flashes.
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
Mmmmk, everything went fine till I get to step 3.

Did have issue with wifi not working. I tried to do both files but it wanted to instal the PH file first which i canceled. Removed the PH file and just flashed the wifi fix. rebooted, but still no wifi. thought maybe i did something wrong so I tried it again. The my phone stated bootlooping, so now i am restoring the nandroid backup. Any further help would be appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:

[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
download quickboot from the market.

Boot phone up,

download files,

use quickboot to get you into recovery

flash the 2.6 file FIRST

developer menu back into hboot

let ph98 flash

reboot phone

delete ph98 off of root
[HTC Rezound] sdsurferbob:
If I can piggy back on your thread, I too have some questions re: getting the OTA that I haven't yet found direct answers to.

1.) If using the [ROM] Stock Rooted OTA ROM w/ Firmware to get to the OTA, is the stock recovery still necessary? Or can I do this from Amon Ra? (I'm currently running Tachi's De-Sensed ROM with Amon Ra recovery, and I know my mainver is still 1.xx)

2.) If stock recovery is necessary, is a stock ROM necessary too? For example, is it necessary to have a stock ROM on the phone BEFORE flashing the stock recovery?

3.) It doesn't seem as if relocking is necessary either, is it? Do you have to relock only if you're trying to run the RUU?

thanks all (including OP)
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Someone correct me if I am wrong, PLEASE!

If you lock your phone, and run the ph98 img, your mainver will be updated.

You will have to relock if you want the new radios, I didnt unlock originally and everything worked fine.

If you want newer hardware you'll want a nokia lumia 710 or htc radar. You can also get the HD7 (NOT HD2). The radar also has a front facing camera.

The HD2 is a windows MOBILE phone, and will only run windows PHONE operating system if you hack it on. The HD7, however, is a 1st generation windows phone that tmobile had for awhile. Just make sure its the tmobile version and not the AT&T version if you get that one (at&t's wont have the 3G bands for tmobile).

[Windows Phone 7 General] mrchrisrobinson:
it's all personal preference

There is no such thing as a bad windows phone, when you compare to other windows phones. they all run the exact same operating system (more or less) and have a minimum specification bracket that they must adhere to. so if you want a windows phone, the things to look at are:

1. Screen type (LCD, AMOLD, etc.)

2. Processor speed,

3. Camera quality

4. Screen size

5. Aesthetics

If you want a nice looking screen, perhaps the omnia 7 is best for you. A do-it-all powerhouse? perhaps the HTC TITAN, with its massive processor and huge screen. a nice-looking phone that can hold its own against most other devices on the market? The Lumia is your best bet. if you want a cracking camera, then maybe wait for the HTC TITAN II, with its gargantuan snapper and seperate camera processor. so basically, the phones themselves are more or less the same, in terms of functionality and user experience. its what you want to DO with them, thats what makes the difference.

You can't go wrong with the Radar or Lumia 710. I've been using the Radar for the past month and a half and I love it.
