[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maluthug:
tried the wugfresh and the gnex toolkit 5.2; wont let me root 4.03
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Have you installed a custom recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maluthug:
which custom recovery? cwm recovery will not work without root access correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
you can not have cwm recovery without root. do u have a GSM or LTE GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maluthug:
LTE version

I cant seem to find a way to root 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Incorrect.

Root access gives you write access to the OS, which is separate from recovery. The standard root method for a Nexus device is to remove security from the bootloader, which then allows you to install non-signed images. You then install a custom recovery image. The custom recovery allows you to flash non-signed OS changes, which means you can flash the su binary and busybox (giving you root)...

You need to use fastboot to flash cwm, then you can install su and busybox...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maluthug:
ok gotcha, i was under the stupid assumption that i needed to gain root access to install a custom recovery. im going to give it a shot and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
If you want to install recovery from the OS, then you would need an insecure/rooted OS. If you want to install recovery from the bootloader, then you would need an insecure/unlocked bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maluthug:
thanks so much, got recovery on there and updated the phone and rooted it as well. appreciate the help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabeelster25:
Same here

Same thing happened to me. I installed the Gnex toolkit and unlocked the bootloader. Then I tried to root the phone: It restarted and I turned on USB debugging as it said and nothing happened.

So you're saying that I can skip the rooting and "Rename Recovery Restore File" before I "Flash CWM Recovery". After that I can try rooting through Gnex Toolkit 5.2?

Hi my name is Ron just coming from the infuse 4g. Im hoping to get to know you all and find the right Rom for my new LTE phone.

Thanks!

Hey! I'm new also. I get my skyrocket tomorrow. There are not really many roms for it compared to my nexus s. happy flashing!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
There is now a MIUI open source!!!!

github.com/MiCode
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I know this is great news! But what does that mean for us exactly?

Sent from my Rockin' Galaxy S 4G!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lainvalenajr:
Is the hardest part of getting MIUI to work is getting our kernel go work with it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Don't worry, we have devs working on kernel. Hypothetically, once the CM7 kernel works, MIUI shouldn't be a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HolyGhostBoy1:
Whooooooooooooo!!!! Falls Out
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Racing19969:
Yep it's true, I posted about this a week ago....

I have been working with MiuiAnderson to figure out why the build process is not working for the sgs4g. I can build it for the i9000 with no problems...

You won't need a different kernel with this. It ports MIUI to your custom rom.

I will post another update when he gets back to me..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
yeah... its been out for while i think... hopefully this will make it for a MIUI ROM on this phone too with official support and stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
If there is anything I can do to help like test out Rome or something I will be glad to help I myself see me having this device for 2 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DnickDominic:
The i9000 and sgs4g are completely different...try the epic 4g thats probly the closest to our phone

---------------------------------------

Say Thanks If It Helped You :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kshitijgandhi:
this is good news

i really like the MIUI rom

i have an HTC desire and have used it on that

good stuff

switched to sgs4g this week

hope MIUI is soon ported

​

** PLEASE BE AWARE! THIS SCRIPT IS FOR "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II" WILL ALSO WORK ON "AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket" ONLY! IF YOU FLASH THIS ON ANY OTHER DEVICE YOU MIGHT HAVE A VERY EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST IF ANY OTHER QUESTIONS **​

:: DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE ::​

..A DARKSIDE DEVELOPMENT..​

My Original thread is found [HERE]​

​

This is a small script i threw together a while back. I have incorporated in many of my ROMS, usually runs with a installation flag '-wipe'. The script does exactly as the title explains. It is SUPER.WIPE that does the most thorough wipe possible. This exceeds anything that CWM is capable of from the menu options. This will format and erase EVERYTHING on your /system, /data, /cache partions with EXT4 file system. It WILL NOT wipe SD CARD or EMMC... After it is complete with format and earse, it will align all disks partitions properly. This is a great tool to flash right before installing any new ROM on your device. No need to worry if you have wiped properly. Let the script do it for you! ENJOY! :D​

Instructions on using DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE:

* WILL NOT WIPE SD CARD OR EMMC *

IMMEDIATELY BEFORE FLASHING ROM OF YOU CHOICE, DO THE FOLLOWING...

1. Place on ROOT of your SD card.

2. Boot into Recovery Mode

3. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!

4. Flash DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE

5. Stay inside recovery

6. Flash desired ROM.

7. After flashing is complete, Reboot...

8. Done!

sounds interesting will download and try on my next Rom flash

now i see what it does but what is the ultimate true benefit of using this and not clockmod

This is not ground breaking material. Just does a more thorough wipe and will align disk properly after formatting partitons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rizzo269:
I used this on my last flash and it worked great! Thanks for bringing it to the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
"and will align disk properly after formatting partitions"

For my own curiosity, why is this important after wiping?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] H3rk1m3r:
I was just reading about this...Thanks for bringing it over for us Skyrocket users!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thederekjay:
If the partition alignment for is "xx" bytes off. It will cause major performance issues. Etc...

Works great been using other version a while im guessing they are the same or close to? i think the one im using is from Tmobile? either way thanks again.

Yeah the same..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
Im sorry but what do you exactly mean by "It WILL NOT wipe SD CARD or EMMC..."

Is this a good or a bad thing?? do we want this two things mentioned above wiped or not?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thederekjay:
Well I would think you wouldn't. Your SD card and internal SD card aka emmc has all you pictures and other personal junk.. so we don't wipe those

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
He means your pics and music from internal or external sd card won't be gone.

Just use this when you are doing clean flash i used it and it works. Not to be an a** but i had idea about creating this wipe.zip but i suck at coding. Tried contacting someone where the idea came from never got pm back but You sir saved us. Thank You.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
So is the 3e recovery wipe process in the fix force close thread still helpful to do too or does this give you the same result?

Also would it be even better to format sd cards along with flashing this? Or is there not really any additional benefit of that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
THis and 3e recovery is completely different. We have problem with CWM not wiping data correctly therefore file corruption happens. By formatting ur sdcard you will lose everything that's in there. No need to do format sd card. Just flash this when you are doing fresh rom installation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
I've used this script since the day tdj brought it to t-mo version with great results.

Thank you TheDerekJay for sharing this with skyrocket, very cool.

The force is strong in this one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nap286:
Why when click dl link it opens up cwm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
You mean rom manager if yes that's because its .zip file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
thederekjay just wanted to say thank you. Your script worked beautifully, although the pause during the wipe did make my heart skip a beat.

~PsyCl0ne
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Crack85:
Yes!!! Finally one for the skyrocket been using superwipe and fullwipe for my desirehd. Glad to see there is one for skyrocket now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Thank you so much for this!!! I just tried it and it worked great.

I think this will save people a lot of trouble since cwm hasn't been doing a proper job of wiping data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nap286:
Ah yes rom manager.. just checked do folder I guess it was downloading.. I didn't get a notification.. I have like 10 of them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcmasterp:
I wish we could isolate a check for the underlying issue. If someone knowledgeable could put together an app that checks to see if your rom is properly installed (check a specific notorious FC maybe) we would all owe them a great deal for the peace of mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thederekjay:
Im sorry i dont follow???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
He wanted someone to make app that will find if a rom has flashed properly and there won't be fcs or anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
I think its more of a "leftover" data thing with cwm only wipe. Yes u could get a 'bad flash', but it doesn't happen often. (In my experience)

Check md5 when possible before flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Ruh roh, some new problem for me.

1) I formatted the internal SD in Win7 with 64kb allocation size instead of the normal 32kb.

2) Installed CM7 and didn't like it.

3) Used darkside ROM cleaner for the first time ever and some kernel cleaner.

4) Installed CocaCola ROM and installed a few apps, rebooted a few times. Left it alone for 30 minutes and came back to this error on it:

"system uids inconsistent" and then got multiple force closures.

:eek:

Have since formatted everything manually and installed a new ROM which is going great after twelve hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
As stated in the description, yes it will. But just for your peace of mind I'll let you know that I'm with Rogers and I've used this script successfully, several times ;-)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Why ext4? Is this default for Skyrocket? Cannot find concrete info.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
ext4 is a linux file system, it provides better journaling and faster speeds. As a variant of Linux, android is in a position to benefit from these advantages
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Sorry, should have formulated my question better. I am aware of ext4. But does the AT&T Skyrocket use ext4 as default or rfs. Is ext4 the basis of the stock ROM? Would I have to be worried about reverting ext4 when flashing stock ROMs..... I am concerned about those kind of considerations.

I cannot find concrete info as to what stock ROMs are using. More specifically, people are recommending the use of the Darkside-wipe-ext4, before flashing STOCK ICS. What does ICS stock use? Or once Darkside is finished, does the ROM that I use reformat to its specific file system when I flash......These kinds of consideratons are not clarified when referring to Darkside-wipe-ext4.

I know it is not thederekjay's real concern, but I would really appreciate a clarification from someone in the know.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
I'm not sure of the technical details, but I've been using this script for a while now and it's always worked perfectly as far as I can tell for both gb and ics roms, including both stock and custom ics roms. I've never had to go out of my way to change anything due to use of this script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
What do you mean by place on root of SD card? Can you explain please??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
It means do not put the tool inside of another folder. drag and drop directly onto the card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
External SD or internal??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
External
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
After doing the dark side wipe rom manager and superuser were not working and not responding, also shutting down would not work. Only way I fixed it was restoring a nano back up.... so I don't know what to think...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You dsw and then install a ROM or what? Tell me the exact process you did
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
Yes, dew then installed Sean's latest from and then all the problems described before started to happen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
You're not supposed to use it with any if the sky ics 4.0 roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
May I ask why not? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
It seems to increase the chances of problems arising
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Sometimes it doesn't work too well for ics. I always dsw, then manually wipe and format after multiple times. That always does the trick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Never understood why that happens to people.

I run this before installing any new rom and it works fine.

Installed every rom in our thread. Gb to ics and back and forth again.

Edit: also have never had an issue with CWM
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I really don't want a new ROM or kernel right now. I simply want to unlock, root, do a nandroid backup, install Titanium, and freeze bloat. All of this is covered through out this great forum so that's not a problem.

My question is, if I do all of the above and the official ICS update comes out, what would I be required to do to get the update? Since, I would still be essentially stock except debloated, would I just have to unfreeze the bloat? Or would I also need to unroot and relock?

Most of the discussions on the forum relative to the recent OTA were for phones with new ROM's or kernels. There was a lot of RUU and wiping going on, none of which I want to get involved with.

Please let me know what you think. I didn't think it could get any better than my Dinc but it has with the Rezound if I can just dump the bloat, although the Incredikernel was sweet on the Dinc. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
You would have to unfreeze the bloat and relock it (which is easy)
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Based on the OTA that came out, one would think that you would just need to unfreze the bloat.

You might have to relock and if you do relock I think I remember it somewhere where it wipes your internal SD.

You will most likely lose root also, which is easy to get back.

Or you could just wait for someone like con247 to get us a rooted version.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I try to get stock rooted builds out as fast as humanly possible.
[HTC Rezound] moldaz:
I was all stoked when i found out the new official update came out .... then i realized it wasnt the ics update... and threw on one of the roms....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kkllkkll:
I currently have blaster rom flashed on my phone. it was working well for a while with the occasional soft reboots. i decided to update it with the flash over v3.8 zip file. i followed the instructions exactly. i ran the modified calkulin .zip then i ran the update. but now the phone is stuck at the boot screen and will not function if i remove the batter to reboot i cannot get into recovery. im at a loss as to what to try now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Get Odin and flash kernel with cwm ....boot into recovery and restore back up or start flash again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kkllkkll:
I was able to put the device into download mode and odin is recognizing it. however i am unsure as how to proceed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Autris:
I as well have this same problem. Basically I've reverted to downloading the latest EL29 Download from the wikia, then re-rooting the device using the auto root without Odin.

Then, and only then can you flash a rom, but only once then you will have to repeat this process

P.S. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP INCASE THIS DOESNT WORK.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ZombiiBite:
hope this helps http://youtu.be/_vmEmheJnyg
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Md5 checker plp. Its free. Use it love it. Bad download.Or give it some time first boot can take upto around 6to8 min. Be patient it pays off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kkllkkll:
ok finally was able to fix it. the youtube video was perfect and super easy to follow and odin only took a 3 minutes to fix the issue. i wish i knew exactly what i did wrong though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Congrats OP. Way to go. prolly a bad dwnld. Md5checker babby. Give it a try. You might be surprised at how often roms get fukt when downloading. Also I do all my downloading from my phone. So dont believe the hype about only use your comp for ROM dwnlds. I have only had two bad dwnlds from my phone, way more from my comp.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] realdeal1:
Hi guys. Has anyone any experience with the folding of the leather cases leaving marks,smudges,lines, whatever on the screen of the phone because of the slots where you can put credit cards,etc? Also, has anyone bought the Zenus Masstige Color Edge Diary Series case and do you like it? Thank-You. Louie
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
They leave but you can easily wipe them off with your hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Yuretsz:
Yeah, they leave, I can remove them with hand or cloth. This is way better than any kind of scratches or using protective film :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] tytung2020:
You still need to use a protective screen, just in case it gets scratch when using.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] realdeal1:

[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
Hi all

I have an annoying problem with my sensation, well i say annoying its more frustrating.

I noticed when i look at my phone the 3G symbol is next to the upload and download arrows, when i click on a web page it pauses for about 5-10 seconds and then changes to a H symbol and away it goes.

I understand what it all means that H stands for HSDPA and its faster etc.

The problem is this, my wife had a HTC wildfire and my Mate has a HTC Desire and were all on the three network, so tonight when we were ll together mine was the only phone showing the 3G symbol both of theirs was showing the H constantly and was quicker of the mark when we compared speeds on the net.

anyone any ideas why i have the 3G symbol showing when the other 2 on the same network have the H symbol?

Thanks all

Chris
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Each HTC device most likely have different radios, whereas you will get different speeds.
[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
would you not think the sensation would have the best radio? with it being the better phone??
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
That's subjective. That's why there are so many various radios available here to try, depending on where you are.

I mean, at home, my Nexus One gets better reception than my Senny.
[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
Just a quiick update, i have restarted my sensation by holding down the button etc and since then its had a constant H symbol. Can this be a fault of the phone do you think? does anyone else get the 3g symbol on there phone?

Thanks again

Chris
