[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Dalvik-cache wipe is included in all "standard" recoveries and it really can help in various situations (sometimes for bootloop also)

There is no need to remove wipe-dalvik.update, init does this just as with firmware .update files.

Oh, c'mon...... ;)
[Gen9 Android Development] nilse:
:( i worked for that about an hour, now i know more about linux shell scripts :D

and for the changes in the init

can it be modified with all kind of linux shell commands ???
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Ask letama, he knows initrd best

tapatalked from Desire
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
I've checked supercharger script and honestly I'm not sure if it's absolutely safe to use:

-dalvik-cache wipe is done when Android does not run in every device I've layed my hands on (samsung i5700, htc desire, prestigio multipad 3384 and android hardware belonging to my friends)

-if dalvik-cache is not present system creates it during system boot

-supercharger wipes dalvik-cache also during system boot so there is a possibility of conflict between wiping and creating processes

Modified init wipes dalvik-cache before Android starts to boot so it is 100% safe, and djnilse created a nifty script to create wipe-dalvik.update file without pc access

New version in the first post

Should work good on HDD models also :)
[Gen9 Android Development] thefunkaygibbon:
How long is a long time?

I have had mine on the Archos logo for around an hour now, and just a little worried that it is not going through.

EDIT: I use the HDD model
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Should be not more than a minute before bootanimation kicks in.

Did you boot to SDE with card inserted?
[Gen9 Android Development] thefunkaygibbon:
There is no card reader on the HDD model, so I have it on the root of the HDD (I think I have understood that right, but maybe not.)

Do I need a USB card reader and do it through the 3G port?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Sorry, I didn't know that there is no SD slot.

Give me 5 minutes.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Corrected version of initramfs and updated instructions in the first post.

Sorry for trouble, Archos says that all G9 devices have SD card slot.

EDIT:

[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
i seem to have the file ext4 on my hdd and somwhere in my internal storage my internal storage has dropped by500mb

i know i should keep the one on my hdd but how do i get rid of the one in my internal storgage i would like to reclaim that space

i think its here /data/local/archos.ext4 but i cannot see it in astro or file manager

250gb hdd model
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It's normal (as expected)

The one on HDD is a backup file (in case of wiping data).

You can't delete the one from flash- that is system image.

I can try to modify init so system file runs from HDD (not internal flash) but this may deplete your battery very fast
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
if its normal thats fine i still have 500mb free

i have hdd test 3 on mine is that ok do i just updat to hdd test 7 when a new rom comes out?

regards phil
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Flash test7- it is updated version (cleaner work)
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Added 350MB system image file, link in the first post.

Usage doesn't change ;)
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

Thanks @gen_scheisskopf, really a good job ! :D
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It was just cp -a ;)

Anwyay there's still 23 MB free in 350MB system image, it should be enough for adding some apps into it (and archos.ext4 it uses 150MB less which does matter for HDD models)
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
thank all the extra space helps
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Added "no busybox" archos.ext4 in the first post.

It seems that busybox installation brakes something in USB host functions- there are reported problems with 3G stick. Personally I've tested Logitech RumblePad 2 and indeed busybox creates problems (no button recognized, problems with USB/BT Joy Center, using stock busybox those problems don't exist)
[Gen9 Android Development] Galaxyace:
Hello i have rooted my Archos 80 G9 some days ago and it seems to mess something with usb connections . The 3G on/off doesn't seem to work (seems like it is always on ) and the battery time seems to be even smaller than normal in everyday use . Anyone had the same probs ?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Yes, 3.2.80 with busybox installed has problems with USB host. You can try "no bysybox" (means it's only rooted and no other changes done) version, link in the first post
[Gen9 Android Development] rameses:
I'm a bit confused by the various download links in the first post. Do I just need:

Kernel and initramfs

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14106051/arc..._hdd_test7.zip

and

"No busybox" archos.ext4

http://www.mediafire.com/?fzizmy60e769ow9

I assume I'll then need to install busybox from the market.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Yes.

Only if you need a custom one and you know how to install it. Mostly there is no need for a custom busybox, the default one included in firmware is enough
[Gen9 Android Development] alfick3:
I purchased the 80 G9 250GB model and am interested in rooting it. I was wondering about this method. In the OP you state it's for firmware 3.2.80. I have upgraded mine to the 4.0.5 already. Do you know if this will work with the newer firmware? Especially since it went from Honeycomb to Icecream Sandwich.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

No, will not go ! - is just for Honeycomb !!!

Now you can install on HDD Root Version Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.5 => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560211 Good luck !

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spottedtadpole:
I have been using Connectbot to forward a local port (higher than 1024) to a remote mail server, on my Android phone, and it has worked well. After I rooted my Nook Tablet, I used the same settings as on my phone and it worked, but today it no longer works. I can connect to the remote SSH server but Connectbot is not forwarding the ports. I suspect it is a problem with permissions. Is there a way to fix the permissions for Connectbot so it can forward ports?

Another possible problem is that my Nook does not (it seems) know what 'localhost' means. I even tried 127.0.0.1 in a terminal and the terminal could not find it. This might be the actual problem causing port forwarding to fail, but it was working earlier and just stopped working.

BTW the same setup still works on the phone so I know the remote host is not the issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
OK for fix permissions you could try the option for that in CWM recovery if you have it installed. You could change permissions by using root explorer or ES file explorer apps too but im not sure which files you should fix, but you can try giving more permissions to the Connectbot app and change owner to root aswell if you dont know how to do it check this how to made by me.

About the localhost address adfree app that i use to get rid of advertisings use 127.0.0.1 ip to install hosts, make sure you have installed busybox that means open busybox app and verify that you have busybox 19.x.x installed, if not then install it.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spottedtadpole:
I will check but I am almost certain I have Busybox installed. I went to a cafe and my setup works, it just does not work at the library where they do NOT block port 443 and I am able to do port forwarding at the library on Linux (OpenSSH) and also Windows (with Proxifier).

I think it might be a DNS problem which can be addressed within ConnectBot, and this setup was working last week at the library. I will check the things you mentioned in your reply. Thanks

BTW, it does not appear to be permissions related, since I am able to do port forwarding on ConnectBot when at an open access point (no credentialed login required).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spottedtadpole:
[SOLVED]

Thanks for your help. I installed the "Hosts" host file editor and then added the localhost to it. I suspect that the ROM Toobox app might have removed the localhost when it added 3 addresses to the hosts file (at my request). When I used the hosts file editor to add "localhost", it removed those additions made by the ROM Toolbox. I will have to look into this and make sure that when I add entries, the old entries do not disappear.

ConnectBot is now forwarding ports again at the library, after this fix.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdhvanIt:
Okay, so I rooted and installed ICS passion on two friends Vibrants. Followed directions and everything turned out great..

My question is why is the extra step of flashing GB prior to ICS necessary? Most devices I've owned have been HTC, so the process for HTC devices is much more familiar to me.

I have some ideas what it might be (bootloader and modem are Included in ROMs in some cases?), but the reading I've done has not given me any real answers. TIA.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
Its not. I had to Odin back and went straight to ics. Flash twice, once for compatible recovery second to actually flash rom.

Flashing gb specifically cm7 would also get you the compatible recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdhvanIt:
Gotcha. Just couldn't figure out why the tutorials said to flash CM7 prior to flashing ICS. Thanks for the info!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I have always been under the impression that flashing CM7 before ICS bc it re-partitions the external_sd to emmc.

Plus RULE #2 follow OP (that is what Neo says to do and he created the ROM)

RULE #1 (make a friggin' backup)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdhvanIt:
Lol thanks. Yeah, I've been around XDA a while and read enough to know how to get where I want to be and to follow directions. Sometimes said directions just aren't clear as to why you're doing what you're doing. =)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
Doesn't make sense to me.

Why would external SD need to be partitioned? Internal SD partitioned into pieces for system data etc.. external sd is entirely different.

Ics just changes the routing to ext SD I think.

I have had no prob flashing ics from stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdhvanIt:
Yeah, none of the update-scripts format external partition.. That's not it. I do believe it has to do with the recovery as you said previously.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] memht:
You should remove from registry/menu...ini and from shpapp.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] tapan15in:
It is okay if you dont remove the registry :) just remove the app folders thats it. But do not try to add new apps in the firmware la1 as it will not work and the phone will go in boot loop :)

im just wondering is there anyway to unlock the boot loader for the WildFire S, my carrier is Vodafone Ireland, and im on the latest version u can get of android on the phone.

thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
First of all you need to update bootloader via HTCdev and the follow the procedures on what to do next. You can look at my YouTube videos at MrTaco505.
[HTC Wildfire S] RandomPRSN:
ok, but when press unlock my boot loader and all of the carrier names come up, notting to do with "vodafoneIE" come up, can i just press any on of them? or whats the story?

thanks for the help

Since your is not there, you need to watch my YouTube video to update it on your phone, so just watch the video on updating bootloader and there u have it :)

PM me if you need more help.

Sorry again for being such a noob, but u know the file u attached to the video [ yes i saw it ] does that work for any HTC WildFire S?

thanks for your help i really appreciate it.. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] nis-gens:
This is how I unlocked the boot loader for my vodafone nl(also not listed between the ruu's) htc wildfire s.

Download this Thanks to: click

Now create a goldcard usingthis tool for example

Now open the file(HTC unlock.rar) you just downloaded.

You will see 2 files: PG76IMG1.zip and PG76IMG2.zip.

First copy PG76IMG1.zip to your SD card, rename it to PG76IMG.zip.

Now load your phone's boot loader (take out battery, put the battery back in, hold power+volume down)

If everything is done right it will see the zip file, and it will ask you if you want to flash it. Say yes.

After it is flashed reboot your phone and delete the PG76IMG.zip on your SD card.

Now copy PG76IMG2.zip to your SD card and rename it to PG76IMG.zip

Now load your phone's boot loader.

If everything is done right it will see the zip file, and it will ask you if you want to flash it. Say yes.

After it is flashed reboot your phone and now follow the steps on htcdev.com

Except on the page where you have to select your carrier just click continu. (you just flashed the HTC EU RUU).

Now your phone should unlock :).

At least this worked on my HTC Wildfire S from vodafone nl wich is also not on the list of carriers.(after trying many other things and continuously getting errors.)

Hope my english wasn't to bad :$.

Don't know if needed on some site's it is:

Virus scan for the goldcardtool:

[TUTORIAL][S-ON] Unlock Bootloader using HTCDEV.com

All I found was htc EU (must be generic) and Vodafone UK. If it is not a vendor locked phone then you should still be Ok.
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
If you just want to clear the Vodafone crap off the phone then just make a goldcard and run the european RUU. Thats what I did and it was perfectly straightforward. Now I'm looking at unlocking bootloader too though, as I ran out of internal memory, so I need to root and install link2sd.

I'm Vodafone ire aswell BTW, my phone was Vodafone branded when I got it.

Ps, remember to backup before you do anything, you will lose everything.
