[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Hulk:
Thanks again, i have just rooted my phone, so simple when it comes down to it, although i just wanted to make sure i did not miss anything. My next stage is to install a custom rom so i better get down to geeking up on this now. Also i think i will post how i did this in this thread, as i think i can explain the very basics to people.

Thanks for your help, i hope you accept my friend request.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morespama2k:
Glad to help. Flashing rom is probably easier then rooting ;)). Pm me if you need help.

Hey all

I have been trying paul's ICS roms and they are great except that my network operator isn't showing up. So I decided to stick to MiniCM7 2.1.8. However I wanted to have all my fav ICS features on this rom. I already have the music app and achep's theme which almost resembles ICS. But the settings menu of CM7 really sucks and i would love to be able to be change it to something similar to the ICS settings menu with tabs. So please help.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an9093:
hello

i bought yesterday samsung glaxy s 9000

i want to install recovery to install roms in it

can you tell me what to do

or give me a guide and what is the best recovery to install i it ?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooptarik:
You need first to check that you can get into download mode by pressing volume down + home + power button.

then just flash as base kernel with odin or heimdall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an9093:
yes i can get into download mode

give me the best recoverry and tell me how to use odin ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plutyyy:
go on google and write: 'install firmware update on galaxy s i9000' - first link

you can update any firmware by this tutorial. other, newer firmwares are available on sammobile.com, have a look :)

after you flash base rom, you just need to a flash a new kernel with odin. i suggest you to use CF or Semaphore kernel.

recovery is already intergrated in thoose two kernels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaragdhk:
I've rooted my HK Note with KK1 firmware using Zerg Rush exploit, later updated to LA2 using Odin Mobile Pro. Had to reflash the SCS code in recovery to get my SCS code showing properly.

When starting up my SGN i always get this "error when reading data from the hardware interface" error.

I had this issue already before I had to reflash the SCS code. So that's not the reason... what could be wrong?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyansmoker:
It is unfortunately not that simple. CornerStone has parts that come as patched system files.

It needs to either be included in a ROM or come as a patch (.zip) for a specific ROM.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] showlyshah:
Hey guys does anybody know how to do it? After installation of rom? Can it be done via adb or from phone itself?

I know I can do it before flashing, but what about after flashing?

TB can do it with some app( newer version of system apks) but what about others?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
to install system apps:

From computer:

adb push yourapp.apk /system/app/

From your phone:

su

cp /sdcard/yourapp.apk /system/app/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] showlyshah:
But its tough, I got more than 20 app to do it. So is there any app that can do it?

Also Cp means copy right? So is it copy or move?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prime_225:
If you want to do it before flashing,

If you want to integrate it with system (uninstallable unless using a root explorer or titanium backup):

Open your rom's .zip file put it in the:

/system/app/
Note: be careful when putting large applications because this will be installed to your 'system' partition and if it is low, you might end up in a bootloop.

If you want to install it like a normal app:

Create new folder named 'data' if it's not present. Create a new folder in it named 'app'. Then, put your .apks.
Note: This folder will go to your 'userdata' partition.

P.S: Please refrain from putting large .apks files because they make your partition's space low or cause a bootloop.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
More than one app? no problem, simply do what geek had said.

Create a folder on your sdcard (for example /sdcard/apps-to-install/)

Put all your apks there and then to copy them using the terminal like this:

su

cp /sdcard/apps-to-install/* /system/app/

If you don't want to do this, you can also create a directory with the name /app/ and merge it with the one on your device.

And yes, cp stands for copy, I'd rather copy files and then delete them manually than moving them.

But DO NOT MOVE SO MANY APPS, as this will be taking from your internal memory, make sure you only move important/systematic apps. Otherwise, copy them to your sd-ext.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
So, my brand new Transformer came yesterday (From Amazon) and it has an SBK v2 bootloader (sbk detect under mac, serial is BC0KAS), here is what I understood, and ask for questions, after many reading, can you please confirm or correct?

1- SBK v1 can be rooted, put custom roms, return back to stock, unbrick in case something goes wrong with nvflash. [CONFIRMED]

2- SBK v2 can be rooted? (some say B70 can, or is it just B70 with SBK v1?) [CONFIRMED]

3- SBK v2 can have custom roms? (depends on point 2)? [CONFIRMED]

4- SBK v2 cannot have ClockWorkMod? [Wrong, SBKv2 CAN have ClockWorkMod]

5- SBK v2 does NOT support nvflash, so if you softbrick you cannot recover (I am certain of this one, I guess). [CONFIRMED, if you damage ROM & clockworkmod = BRICK]

What can be done then with an SBK v2 device? wait for developers to find the ways to crack it (as sbkv1), or have an nvflash working?

Is there some petition open to tell Asus to unblock the bootloader as they did with the Transformer Prime?

currently (after 1 day), I am already thinking of returning it back.

I know i might be asking a lot of questions, but information is not easily available in 1 thread.

Update:

New question: with SBKv2 is it possible to return back to stock (Stock ROM, unrooted with stock recovery)?

Thanks in advance...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
SBK doesn't keep you from rooting from what I understand, the firmware version does (current 8.6.5.21 has been cracked and can be rooted by nachoroot, or if not can be firmware upgraded to 8.6.6.19 and rooted with razorclaw)

SBK2 simply keeps you from using NVFlash to recover, as far as I know, once you are rooted, you can install CWM recovery on any SBK version.

Just alot of SBK2 owners have not rooted or installed CWM if they did root for fear of losing their recovery (if you bungle the recovery, you may be able to flash your recovery through the ROM, if you mess up your ROM, you can flash another ROM through CWM or stock recovery, BUT if your recovery img is corrupted AND your ROM stops working, SBK1 can flash both via NVFlash, SBK2 is effectively bricked)

EDIT: SBK2 USED to keep you from being able to root when NVFlash was the only method available for rooting and installing superuser and busybox, see here

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1347388.html
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
I was going to say I will try to NVFlash my device and tell you if it is SBK1 or 2, I assumed it would be SBK2 because it is B70, but lo and behold it was SBK1..I would have been lucky a few months ago before the razorclaw app was developed and SBK2 was rooted, but I didn't get my TF until after that..

So, SBK1 here have gone to stock many times, but cannot confirm the procedure for SBK2 tablets, though I assume it is possible. Thought for sure I was going to be able to come back and say my TF was SBK2 and had been to stock, but nope haha

EDIT: considering you can backup your entire setup via CWM, recovery mage and all, and flash it wthin CWM (like restoring the backup) is evidence to me that you can no doubt unroot an SBK2 as long as you have a working recovery image.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
From what I understand, the first thing to do on a new device is to have root (with the tools you mentioned), once you have this (stock ROM with root), you can install CWM, and with CWM you can install custom and stock roms.

but how can I bring back the standard Stock recovery? when I have stock unrooted ROM I can't flash Recovery partition from the Android itself, and nvflash doesn't work on SBK2. can CWM be used to flash a stock recovery over itself?

Is there any chance that Asus will unlock the TF101 when it releases the tool to unlock the Transformer Prime (in February, as promissed)? in case they both use same blocking technology?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Yes you can flash stock recovery over cwm from within cwm, you have to have the file..i found it and have it on my hard drive, but can't remember where i got it from..the same procedure as going stock on sbk1 tablets

The proof that you can flash recovery while in recovery mode is that you can install higher versions or different developer's versions of recoveries from cwm. Im sure when running cwm it is being read from ram so flashing the recovery partition will only affect your recovery after you reboot (i.e. Can technically go into cwm, flash recovery partition first and then flash stock rom, but i believe packages are available to flash both at once, and there would be no reason to do it in this order, but im pretty sure it could be done)

Somewhere on here is a guide how to return to stock to prepare for the ics update, it should contain the odd bits and links to fill in my sparse knowledge.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
That's the one! :)

8329 recovery.zip.. Btw it should be noted that the recovery image is not region-branded, that should mean it will work with any region, while you will need to make sure to get the region-specific firmware..

And i did the procedure in reverse from that thread, not to confuse, but i:

Placed both files (recovery and firmware) into my sd card root

Booted into cwm and flashed stock recovery, wipe everything before powering down

Rebooted into recovery again and flashed the firmware with stock recovery.

I think it will work either way, i left my rooted rom in place so i could install cwm if the recovery flash failed, i suppose the alternative is leaving your recovery in place in case the stock rom flash fails..i just like knowing on the first reboot whether my first flash was successful and not flashing blind imo.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
That would be news to me. If you could find a source for this statement, I would be interested.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
From what I understood reading (this forum and other sites), the story is different between TF101 and TF201: the Prime has the bootloader locked/encrypted, and with it locked you can't even install the CWM recovery, while with sbkv2 you can do everything except nvflash, so i doubt that asus will release anything for the sbkv2 transformers.

anyway, i am not following the subject, but does the new Prime unlocker allow something like nvflash to work?

Hello

I bought SGS2 after a long hesitation. I was wondering about buying Motorola Atrix2 due to the Webtop and WebDock.

I wonder if it is possible to port this feature on our SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
I suspect that's going to be a negative. The SGS2 lacks the necessary hardware.

The Atrix can do this because it has little metal contacts on the outside of the device, that enable the communication with external hardware. The SGS2 only has USB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can output display via the MHL, or use the USB port, but can't do both at the same time. So not possible to port this exact lapdock.

You have a couple possible options though.

1- output display via MHL and use bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo

2- output display via DLNA and use USB OTG keyboard/mouse combo

To be honest, I'm not even really sure if option 2 is viable or not. I've not tried outputting my display via DLNA at all yet. So I don't know if this works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pijMleko:
connection to a monitor / TV is not a problem. What I want is the ability to run systems based on Linux like on Atrix.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
You haven't been so clear about your question.

The Atrix can plug into a webtop, this laptop-like dock, yeah? Then the webtop is running off of software that's actually running on the phone.

This is not and will not be possible with the SGS2 without heavy modification, and I mean heavy...way beyond my skill set and I've taken a few cell phones apart to replace faulty parts.

If you just want to be able to run a Linux ROM...chances are good. Android is Linux based, but I'm guessing you want something a bit more purist, like one of the 'buntu's...I didn't find anything about this on the interwebs, but you should be able to google just as well as I can.

If that was your question, what the hell does that have to do with the webtop/webdock stated in the OP?:rolleyes:

i seems like it work on 3.1 but something change later and it stop sync...

Try to add the account once more after, deleting the facebook account from "Settings >> Accounts & Sync" and clear the cache
[HTC Desire S] vinprivag:
R u talking about "Facebook for HTC sense" sync or just Facebook sync..there is difference!
[HTC Desire S] peca89:
Facebook for HTC Sense does not exist in Endymion ROM. All the FB sync is (should be) done via the Facebook app.

I also have problems with FB sync. Contact pictures sync fine on first sync after installation, but never update themselves. The only way to update them is to remove FB account and clear data from Facebook app.

Moreover, I have one more problem with facebook app: Sometimes, without any particular reason, it stucks on "loading" screen and nothing happens. Even if you relaunch the app, it is still stuck on loading. The only way to make it work again is Force stop it from Settings/Applications menu and clear cache. Then it works again for a day or two and then gets stuck again.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Actually that's not quite correct. Although you don't see an "Facebook for HTC Sense" account, there is still a proprietary HTC facebook app in the rom. It's called HtcFacebook.apk.

In previous sense versions, you had to provide credentials (login/pass) for this application, but in Sense 3.5 if you install Facebook and login, the HTC app automatically is also able to do so.

So all contact pictures and such are done actually by the HTC app, not the "normal" Facebook app. My method for keeping things running smoothly is:

- Install facebook app from market

- Set it to not sync anything. Do this inside the app settings, not in "Accounts and sync"

- Even though you chose not to sync, the HTC facebook app will still sync stuff perfectly

What I don't know is the syncing schedule. I know sometimes it takes hours/days until all stuff gets updated/synced, but I can't do anything about that.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] [E]Xtreme:
I've been learning to edit and make ROMs for couple of months, some of the early works had been uploaded to a Chinese Milestone developers' BBS.

But there is a simple question which still confused me a lot. (- =)

Some senior developers in that Chinese BBS reminded their supporters in their threads to wipe before and AFTER applying the Rom in Open Recovery. But, why should we wipe AFTER applying the Rom? I've viewed some threads here, but none of them require to wipe after applying.

So I wonder if it is really necessary to wipe AFTER applying a new ROM. I'm very appreciate if you guys can answer my question and tell me why. Thx~~~

BTW, Xda is an excellent website. And it's much more professional than the BBS I used to visit. May you have a nice day~
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] kabaldan:
It's a common myth. I'm not sure why it gets repeated over and over again.

One wipe is enough. Dalvik-cache is not populated again until the system is booting for the first time. While you are in recovery, it also doesn't matter if you wipe before or after you apply the update (unless the updater script in some particular update.zip also installs something to /data or /cache partition, which is not very common).

You can read cvpcs's thoughts on this matter here: http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-05/time_to_wipe_data/cache
