this root/rom thing. .

for some reason my note wont give me the latest update. .so its still on the 2.6.3 n7000XXKK5 version .. its laggy, the wifi is weak etc. . i really wanted to keep my phone stock but now im forced to do something because my version of the phone doesnt get the update. .

i have a mac computer. . most tutorials are all for windows. .

i went to dr. ketens thread and i downloaded both items and they wont open on my phone. . i tried downloading the rom directly from my phone but since the wifi suxks it never finshes. .

not sure what to do here. .i know for long time android users it seems simple but im just not following .. anyone tips or tricks to get me going ..

i cant even open this odin file. .

i downloaded androidzip pro

DrKetan's thread has detailed instructions on how the rooting is done, but you already know that.

Find a friend with a windows PC, and get it done over there. How hard can it be, it takes about 5 minutes?:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:
Or do it from a virtual machine with windows eg parallel.

Had the same problem with iPhone - sn0wbreeze and Jailbreaking, i could never make a custom firmware with preserved baseband as i dont own a mac. Anyhow someone or the other would load the custom firmware online!!

Welcome to the Android Ecosystem, Its slightly difficult at first but if you liked jailbreaking and cydia tweaks you would love it here.

My battery temperature rises to almost 45.c+ after a few minutes of HD gaming on my Stock HTC WFS Rooted, Is this normal or theres something wrong with my battery.
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
the phone has to heat up especially when you play games that use a lot of cpu and gpu...

but idk is it normal to heat it to 45 and more... i think that 50 degrees is a MAX that may happen, and that reffers to battery heat? I mean its just going to shorten life of battery, extremely ... and about processor i think u dont have to worry... it can stand some heat ... i have read that temps went over 70,80 celsius on the phone, and they were still running fine. Of course its not recommended, as you can guess :D
[HTC Wildfire S] koeniekoenie:
I don't think that it will be a problem. I have my phone running that hot for four months already when charging, and when not plugged in it also easily reaches 40c. When I dial *#*#4636#*#* my battery health is still good. Also note that on the back of the battery it says that the max operating temperature is 60c.
[HTC Wildfire S] hellnoob:
Never looked at the back of the battery that closely, that clears my doubts.

Hey guys,

i installed many different versions of android also custom roms, but since some time i noticed, that my phone gets buggy. I guess its due to many different installs, maybe incomplete resets or whatever.

I would like to hardly reset all in my mobile. (SD-Card) the system, the partitions... is there any option to really reset all and get rid of old leftovers?

kind regards.

mhoppi
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcho:
Search google for hard reset.

Something like this

*#2767*3855# but im not sure.

It will do factory reset and erase sd card.

First install stock rom and then do this.it won't work on custom kernel.

Use odin,put the kernel file in PDA box and flash.

Then download the ROM u want to install and put it on your sd card,go to recovery by using three button combo,choose 'install zip from sd card' and select your rom. Also before flashing the rom wipe data,wipe cache and qipe dalvik cache

nw remove the ph11img file from ur sdcard

goto bootloader again select fastboot thn connect ur phone to pc

goto http://htcdev.com/bootloader/

select ur device as htc salsa

follow the steps directly from step 7

and if u do it correctly ull have a new tab in the hboot saying unlocked...

but it wld still indicate s-on

don worry u can nw easly have root acess nw

be sure to use the fastboot given by me

ya ext4 would be really good and stable...

ext 2 keeps giving me crash report for certain processes..

[HTC Salsa] monty80:
How does it matter? I have ext2 and i receive 'Force close' error quiet often. Will ext4 work better?

ext2 is slow.....ext3 is better and more stable and you tend to not get force close, ext4 is the ultimate!
[HTC Salsa] raviz:
i cant get the ph11img.zip to get flashed

while i enter the hboot it finds it but dosnt ask me to flash it.. i belive it dosnt recognise it as a valid file . what am i doing wrong.

my salsa is hboot 1.07.0000 indian version
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
thats because with version 1.07 you need to go directly to htcdev for the update...it will update that way easier.....
[HTC Salsa] MBariya:
Good tutorial.

Unlocked my salsa..

Increased internal memory but gives Force close on ext-2 and not much stable.

hi sorry if im asking a stupid question but im new to this, I followed your instructions and at the end i still see 120mb for internal storage. my sd card is 16gb and now shows 10gb. is the increased internal memory suposed to show or not? also when installing the busybox it said "instalation aborted" at then end, is it doing what its supoed to? if im doing something wrong could you please tell me how to increase the internal space I would greatly appreciate it. thanks for your great work :)
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
you just had a total failure on the data2sd side.

plz list up the following so we can help more

2-what ext partition have you setup

3-how big is the ext partition

4-how did you make the ext partition
[HTC Salsa] goranhawleri:
Hi BigBearEvo Thanks for your reply I managed to get it working but i made a terrible mistake of formating the system, data and cache. Now when i turn on the phone all i see is the bootloader and it will not go past that coz i think i have formated the internal memory( if formating the above does that). I desperatly need a solution, the problem is that forgot to do a backup from cwm, i looked for an official rom but didnt find anything so i tryed flashing a custom rom (chinese rom, as it was the only one i could find) but it keeps saying error. Please if you know a solution to this tell me about it, atm my phone is useless. Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated.

Btw I am from Australia Im not sure what rom i was using before, I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev which meant i hadto download the RUU for Australia and update it. It was running stock rom. Sorry I am not very good at this stuff. When I turn on the phone this is all the information i can see:

[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Do u have recovery installed...if not...then we need to get it installed and get you flashing a new rom again.

Best option is.....somewhere in here is recovery 5.0.2.6 with instructions to flash via adb cmds.

Do this according to post, trust it will work!

Once that's installed go get either iconic or sense 3.5. Flash either of these and presto .....working phone again.

Takes a few mins to flash recovery and upto ten minutes for a custom rom.

Yes I had installed cwm recovery before the misshap and is still installed. so im guessing there will be no need to flash via adb? in that case ill download sense 3.5 and see what happnes.. if you know any good links please let me know.. ill let you know what happnes, thank you BigBear

Thanks BigBearEvo your a legend, I flashed sense 3.5 just like you said, and it worked like a charm. ,,and if anybody knows of any roms i could download that would make the salsa have the same effect as the upgraded htc desire hd ( the spining of the home pages after you pull the ring up) please do post the link.

I had the same problem so I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev and continued from intalling the cwm recovery step, it worked for me, try it.
[HTC Salsa] monty80:
Hay, I used the script data2sd-ext3 and that made my phone slow like a dead unit. However, i guess it is because my SD card is not a high speed card.

So i reinstalled everything without the data2sd script and it works well now.

I have a question thoug. I am using link2SD now, and most of the application are on SD card and still the phone speed is accetable. Not like data2sd(dead slow).

Question: When i use link2sd and move softwares to SD card. Will it move the application to ext partition or fat partition. I am asking this because it seems like my fat partition has a folder for each application I installed. and the space on fat is decreasing.

any ideas?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
From what I gather it uses both and it doesn't truley move them. It still shows as using internal memory but holds alot on.SD. I.stopped using it the minute I got access to ext3 script.

Thank you for your concern BigBearEvo, sorry for my bad english. im really need your help. Thank you.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
OK Firstly try this..................>pm11img Download this and store on the root of your sd.

By that i mean don't change the file, don't open it or store it any file, just on the root of your sd.

This is accessible from HBOOT.

To access HBOOT, pull your battery out. reinsert battery and holding volume key down press power button.

It will now enter a new menu.

it will do a pm11img check, if it works it will update your hboot version and ask you to reboot. do it.

if this works you will have a pink *locked* appear right at the top

if this hasn't then we need to look into it more.

If this does work then we need you to install recovery.

You require 3 files >ADB Files

add this into a folder in your c:/ called Android. so it will look like c:/Android.

Unzip the file and 3 files appear.

This will help unlocking bootloader aswell.

Recovery

This program does the lot. backups restores wipes etc....everything...

To install this you need the 5.0.2.6 recovery file. >Recovery file at bottom

This post shows how to install recovery using adb cmds in cm prompt. there is a spelling mistake.

So here are the new lines.....you can copy the bold writing to cmd window to make it easier.

*Note, your phone needs to be plugged into your computer using charge option only*

line 1 is c:/Android/adb reboot bootloader

line 2 is c:/Android/fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Once this is done, you may choose the recovery selection in HBOOT to load recovery up.

For EXT3 Creation you require Minitool partition wizard > MiniTool 7.1

use this to resize your sd.

You must make a copy of your sd card on your computer....

if this works fine then nothing will happen to your sd....if you do this wrong it will wipe your sd!

Set a space of 1gb max for ext usage and make primary.

Don't use cwm to make partitions like the other phone...this works and will stay this way till something new appears.

Once this is created it may come back with bad disk.....don't panic it does that!

If all this has been done right, then your set.

If you get stuck im around so i will respond!

the above steps will allow you to have the basics setup and ready for custom roms!
[HTC Salsa] anand2996:
Do you need s off for this and what if the ph11img.zip does not update? when i type the second line i get this:

"C:\android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (3820 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"

Please help!! thanks in advance! :)
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
you will get tthis because you skipped the pm11img bit for updating.

those cmds will only work if its unlocked like i said.

you don't require s-off on updated hboot.

have you tried my hboot update? did u try updating from htcdev? as thats where my hboot update came from
[HTC Salsa] anand2996:
When the bootloader checks for the hboot update it does not ask whether to update or not, instead takes me back to the bootloader Home (i.e., the ph11img.zip does not work for me).. is the htcdev update u are referring to, the ruu update?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Yes that's where I Goto the pm11img for your ruu from. Try manual update from htcdev
