[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squeck94:
Hi all,

I'm new to android, and my Nexus S is coming next week.

I've read several tutorials and watched some videos, and this is what I understood:

I want to install a custom ICS mod, so I have to.

1. unlock the bootloader.

2. install clockworkrecovery or equivalent.

3. install the zip via the "install zip from SD card" option.

Is that right? I have one concern. I've read that the /efs folder which contains the IMEI can get corrupted during the flash.

Should I backup that before flashing the new rom? (that would mean rooting gingerbread before installing ics, as nandroid doesn't backup that folder, am I right?)

Is it worth the extra work?

Thanks.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbears:
Hi,

Just wanted to ask if anyone know how to completely uninstall CM9 from touchpad.

I know there is acme uninstaller for cm7, but I haven't found acme uninstaller 2.

I need to wipe it completely clean, get rid of moboots, cwm.

I tried boot into CWM, Format System (in Mounts and Storage menu) and Format cache. But when I reinstall CM9, it remembers all my google passwords and all my apps are there, suggesting that it was never completely wiped.

Any insights will be greatly appreciated. I want to completely wipe off everything since I am having problem with my speaker (no sound is coming out of it) since yesterday. I am not sure what is the issue, but I wanted to revert to factory state to troubleshoot. But even when I do the secure wipe from webOS OS, when I reinstall CM9 alpha 0.6, all my login info and apps are there, suggesting that not everything was wiped clean.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailow:
i believe you can still use the old acmeuninstaller. its not cm specific.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Wipe data/factory and wipe cache partition to wipe Google password..... then go to mount and storage to wipe other things.......also cm9 backs up your purchase from market as soon as u put ur Google credentials.

I used acme uninstaller to clean android....I was on classicnerd. So I am sure you can use it too.....
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simply dave:
Anyone have step-by step idiots guide on how to do un-install CM9? I sold my touchpad so I need to wipe Android completely off this TP.

TIA.

-dave
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atmazzz:
Download ACMEUinstaller

Put it in the same folder where you have novacom.exe (probably c:\program files\palm,inc) (I assume you used this when you installed CM9)

shutdown your touchpad

Press and hold the volume up button and press power button at the same time. You should see a white USB symbol.

Connect the USB cable to your pc and touchpad

Open a command window and CD to the palm, inc folder or If your using Windows 7, go to the Palm, Inc folder, hold down shift key, right click in that folder and choose open command window here.

In the command window type exactly: novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller

It will then go through uninstalling everything CM9. If you need more help, I think there may be videos on YouTube.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simply dave:
Thanks so much for replying. I should've mentioned that I'm running MAC OSX, so I think instead of my files being in Palm, Inc, they're in opt/nova.

And instead of using the 'command window' I'll be using the 'terminal' but here's where I'm hung up:

I keep getting the "No such file or directory" response.

I remember it took me a dozen or so attempts at install ICS the first time so I'm assuming that the process will be the same this time around.

Anyone with an idea can contribute?

TIA.

EDIT: got it to work using a video on how to INSTALL and I just switched the commands from ACMEInstaller to ACMEUninstaller. I found out I was missing a space in one of the commands.

HTH someone else out there!

Anything that is "Blur-based". Just pick your poison. :)

Wet Dream, Darkside, Aura, GingerMod, Cherry Pi/PiCrust, Home Base, etc.

Note: Some of those ROMs require you flash the webtop fruitcake as well.

Also, if you are just looking to use the lapdock for mirroring, it seems that CM7 Weekly 6 does have LS HDMI enabled with minimal trackpad support (I have read that bluetooth mouse and keyboards work though).

BUT, if you want to use Webtop then you need something that has Blur

Notes:

- The zip contains a windows runme.bat; since I am linux-only I executed the commands therein step-by-step from the cmd line, which was a good thing since:

- the upload of SuperUser.apk to /system/app fails, because: No space left on device.... which is actually true. Pushing this apk to /data/app worked and does hopefully not reduce its functionality

But I couldn't understand how hi has put superuser.apk in /data/app instant of /system/app ....

I've finally managed to root the son of a *****! I used the Universal GB Root kit but with a small modification: I've added the GT-S5690 phone model to the getprop statements at the beginning of the file "META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" assuming that it should work as well on this Samsung model. Well... it did work!

Here is the patched version of Universal GB Root:

Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip

Mirror:

http://uploading.com/files/8m63916d/Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip/

Here is the code (in red) that I've added to the "META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script":

getprop("ro.product.product") == "GT-B7510"[COLOR="Red"] ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5690" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5690"[/COLOR]
);

Please post some feedback here, whether you succeed or not to root the phone using this workaround. I will let StoneBoyTony know about this, so he can integrate it in the official release of the Universal GB Root tool, if the solution proves to be stable and usable (so far I am the first to confirm that it works).

It seems that you have a newer fw version (LA6 = 2012 january build #6). I have KL3 (that is 2011 december build #3). But it should make no difference. Only the recovery program can possibly affect the install process. My Xcover came with the "Android system recovery 3e" version installed (check the top line of text while in recovery).

Please post the error messages that you encounter while installing the update.

Multumesc/thanks!

No need to rename the Universal_GB_ROOT_v5_patched_for_S5690.zip to update.zip (at least in my case).

TO ALL:

- in order to access the standard recovery program that came with the phone, you can fire up an "adb reboot recovery" command with the phone connected via micro-usb cable AND the "USB debugging" option enabled;

- I've also applied the UNROOT update and it also worked: the root access was removed (sqlite3, su*, sh, busybox and the Superuser.apk were removed) .

You could boot into recovery (Vol+or- + Home + power). From there, via ADB, edit your build.prop again to 160. Also maybe fix permissions. I can't tell you how, I am not such a command line crack.

Gt-s5690 rom

Hi !

I bought online a S5690 phone for my son and I did not had the curiosity to see any info about firmware (I just know it's gingerbread). He tried by himself to update the software (by wifi) but after that, the phone just stops at the boot screen with the phone type. I am from Romania, using Orange carrier (but as i said the phone was bought online).

I tried to flash the phone with Odin twice:

1st time using S5690BVLF2_S5690OROLF2_S5690BVLF2_HOME.tar.md5 (downloaded from sammobile), and the

2nd time using S5690XXKL1_S5690DBTKK1_S5690XXKL1_HOME.tar.md5,

ticking only the PDA option, but I got the FAIL ! message both times.

I can enter in recovery and download mode.

Please help me with a link to a safe firmware (stock or not) and a tutorial :confused:.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xkawer:
You should try a factory reset / wipe before you flash anything..

So you did not buy it from Orange? So it isn't branded?

For the Firmware, take a look here:

http://www.droidevelopers.com/f338/14498-gt-s5690-galaxy-xcover-repacked-s5690xxll1-firmware.html

I can only flash the repacked (3 part) firmwares.

Put the 3 files in PDA, MODEM, CSC, leave the other options untouched. Also, don't flash with an USB hub, only with direct onboard USBs.

firmware for gt-s5690m

I am really new here so I hope I have got this in the right place, if not could somebody direct me to where I should be.

I rooted this phone, worked perfect. was deleting a few system apps and accidentaly deleted the wrong one grr! without a back up.

I am not positive but i think it was the google service pack. so then could not log into my google acco**** in any google apps. so I did a factory reset thinking that would fix. Now it will boot and then when the setup wizard tries to run it says the application setup wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

I have not been able to find any solution can somebody please help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xkawer:
@travisloewen

Factory reset does not restore anything in your /system.

Easiest fix: [Guide] Restore you phone to factory by Samsung Kies. Works on most Samsung units.

If that does not work, re-flash the firmware with odin. There are more than enough tutorials on that. Look at the post above you, I even posted links to the firmware files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] travisloewen:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xkawer:
Not the second part of the model number, but the second part of my previous post (call *#1234# and post versions)...

Edit: Just saw the second part of your reply, did not see it first, because you edited it after I started writing lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] travisloewen:
I cant do that because I cannot get past the setup wizard after it boots. the setup wizard keeps crashing and says "the application setup wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xkawer:
We were a bit asynchronous because of editing lol (see my previous post).

So now:

The LD1 seems to be the right version (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-S5690M&pcode=BMC&os=1&type=1#firmware)

http://www.droidevelopers.com/f338/...-firmware-upgrade-flashable-10.html#post55513 Is the repacked firmware, so try that.

You should backup your IMEI and stuff with EFS Pro (altough it didn't work on my phone :( )

Has anyone been able to get a successful download of Universal GB ROOT v26??! My little brothers phone is full of Rogers junk and he wants to clean it up a bit and remove the blotware and from what I've been reading, v26 is what seems to be the best but all of the threads, sites, downloads I've found all link to the same two sites which require you to do a survey to download. I tried one link and the surveys won't open and on the second site all of the surveys want my mobile number and in the fine print it says there are additional charges of $5 CAD or more so screw that..

Does anyone have something like it that is confirmed working for this phone? I tried the ones in this thread and every single one gives me and error saying "error: status 7" so I'm at a loss on what to do.

I'm nearing the point of just getting rid of his phone and buying a Nexus 4 and calling it a day, I spent all day looking into this and I've nearly given up at this point.

Any idea's? It's a Samsung Galaxy Rugby Touch, it's he Canadian variant (GT-S5690M/GT-S5690R) of the xCover (GT-S5690) so this should work just fine and I get the same error every time with every method in this thread. The only one I haven't tried is Universal GB ROOT v26 but I can't download it, the survey's just will not work for me on multiple computers so I think the host sites are broken.

Totally hard bricked GT-S5690

Hello guys, thank you for letting me in to your forum. This post may have been answered somewhere, but I haven't found it...

The phone is a brick. Odin broke it halfway trough upload, so it's stuck in logo (the first text logo, Samsung Xcover etc...), but charges and shows freezed battery icon when plugged in. USB Jig doesn't work, which has been mentioned here before. But: it identifies itself as a TAVOR OBM USB modem manufactured by MARVELL when running dmesg on it and it does seem to be able to connect via cmc_acm driver. Vendor ID shows, and it connects and disconnects properly. So, since I can contact some kind of serial USB modem, any suggestions? Telnet? Any other serial communication possibilities?

I know it's an old phone, but since it's so rugged it would be fun to get it up and running again. And maybe this could work on other hard bricked models too, I don't know. And maybe this is the wrong thread, but I'm sorry in that case and would be happy to be corrected in that case.

Thanks!
