Hi,

I'm on CM9 now (TeamHacksung's) Build 8. I want to flash to Team ICSSGS RC4.2. Do I have to flash first to gingerbread and then to Team ICSSGS RC 4.2? Or can I just flash directly from CM9 Build 8 to Team ICSSGS RC 4.2 via CWM?

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadow60:
I know somebodies who are flash from CM9 (build 14, 15) to ICSSGS, and it's work.

But from build 8, i don't know.

For more security, the best way is to flash via odin a gingerbread stock rom, to flash ICSSGS.

It's my advice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papzt:
I had no problems to switch between ICS Roms from any Teamhacksung Build. Just GB is better to flash over Odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilawer:
You can flash it over the CM9 but I would go back to stock > CM7.1 > ICSSGSRC 4.2. It works perfectly smooth over CM7, well at least for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidified:
I was in the same situation. I flashed back to CM7 then from there I flashed ICSSGS RC3.1. Today I upgraded to RC4.2 with Devil 14.2 LED VC. It runs smooth as butter. :)

And if you never used any utilities of this sort, absolutely nothing will happen. The sky won't fall, your PC will not blow up and you may possibly avert the armageddon. You may also save a lot of time by not worrying about things that have no impact.

By all means, if privacy is a concern and you want to hide your Browsing history, (what have you got to hide??), you can clear it from the Browser. If you really insist on wasting time you may want to run CCleaner occasionally, for all the good it will do.

It's all snake oil though. There is nothing in any those apps that can't be done better and safer without them. Anybody who still thinks you need to 'clean' the Windows Registry, for example, is still living in 2001.

Thanks for the list, but people manage to bork their PC's on a regular basis just fine without adding to their woes.
[General Topics] Dirk:
Here's some acceptable PC Cleaning Tools. I know many among you will not recognise these items so ask your mothers, who will be all too familiar them.
[General Topics] AndroidStyle:

Compressed air and Hoover for the inside. Again, for those who need help, ask your Mothers. :p
[General Topics] OmegaRED^:
dude.. if i can suggest anything "not trying to be a troll here"

Don't hoover a pc. some models have a bad habit of building up static.

If it discharges onto some of the components, it could destroy the pc.

Compressed air is a +1.

Make sure there's no moisture if you use a compressor.
[General Topics] Dirk:
Who in their right minds would hoover a PC? :confused:

The hoover would be to collect the dust blown out by the compressed air.

I instead dive into regedit, msconfig and or total commander and clean manually.

Because of years of knowledge of sitting in front of the damn things i know where i stand..

But a have seen loads of so called pc cleaning software do more damage than anything else.

The sheep are unfortunately boned.

The paid software mostly like scare tactics...

BUY now and your pc will never crash.... i swear.

I think it's best for the masters to dive in and find the free tool that does enough.

So that sheep may sleep.

Didn't DD (I think) post some advice the other day about the Microsoft software that is there to purposely slow down your PC?

Something about deleting the folder c:\windows\system32 to make it run at least twice as fast, I think. I don't know - I don't understand Windos.

Apparently if you delete everything in the registry it makes your computer update to the latest version of windows.

Perhaps the Hoover was so powerful that it ripped a tear into teh time/space continuum? Those missing keys are probably as we speak on the verge of erupting into a new Big-Bang that will spawn an entirely new Universe.

To make your PC run faster, you need a strong magnet, and wipe it over your hard drive about 7 times back and forth. What that does is remove the static from the top layer of the hard drive where all of the viruses and stuff slowing your pc down are located.
[General Topics] Dirk:
Not least of which the itching...!
[General Topics] Archer:
Immersing the whole PC in water before plugging it in is also meant to help as this "supercools" the central CPU unit of processing power and makes the computer both speedier and faster. Obviously don't put your monitor in water - that would just be dumb.

Immersing your monitor in water will give you HD since it cleans the film manufacturers put on monitors to prevent us from seeing the full potential of the monitor.
[General Topics] Dirk:
I find a pressure jet wash does wonders for the internals. It's best if you leave the PC running while you do this so that the fan on the PSU helps pull the water over the capacitors. It cleans them faster. ;)
[General Topics] OmegaRED^:
After that..

Using a exposed handle screwdriver short the 12V P4 connector on the PSU.

Should give YOU a nice boost.

Earthing yourself to the ground should enhance the effect greatly.

So wear a anti static wrist band for safety... "condoms also work"

If you have actually collected any of the three items you require then you are officially a idiot.

[General Topics] AllGamer:
This is what i use at home & work to fix all the bugs in PCs / Laptops / Servers

i even created a custom nozzle something more powerful than the regular air gun, rather deadly in the wrong hands definitely not safety legal, but very good for removing those hard to clean residues in the boards/cases/psu/fans etc
[General Topics] Archer:
Sorry mate, but I don't think you're allowed to discuss illegal matters on xda. I feel the need to report you to a mod :p
[General Topics] jaszek:
I'm not trying to tell that ball pump needles work great for that. lol
[General Topics] Dirk:
On a serious note i feel obliged to add that whilst electrocuting yourself to death may be a personal choice, or simply an error in judgement, using compressed air in an irresponsible manner may have even more tragic consequences.

For example fan bearings can only take so much abuse, and if by aiming a nozzle at them at 1000 PSI, making them spin faster than an Electron on steroids, you shouldn't be surprised if they do something stupid, like falling to pieces, for example. Tape them down before you attempt to launch your PC into orbit on fan speed alone!

Shrouds have been known to be blown off of Graphics Cards completely, because of a poorly aimed and over-powered blast of air. Try aiming the jet of air into your ear canal before you begin. If your Ear-Drum implodes, it's possible that you are using too much pressure!

I created this post as a way to extend a formal apology for my attitude here on XDA. I've been a member for several years without a single issue. In recent months, I've been dealing with a great deal of stress in my personal life, which was affecting my overall attitude and the way I was interacting with family, friends, and with people on XDA.

As a result, I recieved a ban on XDA for approx two weeks. I really love XDA, and spend a great deal of my spare time on here helping others in need. (needless to say, I was going crazy without my daily fix of XDA). My long-term goal was to work my way to becoming a MOD, and am hoping my ban didn't jeopordized my chances, and am willing to do whatever it takes. Either way, I would like to say I'm Sorry for the way I conducted myself here on XDA.

I really enjoy XDA, and the community behind it. Collectively, I consider this place as an extended part of my family, and look forward to many years to come. Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

Sincerely,

Danny W.

I need a ver of MiniCM7Pro – V21 but I cant find a link that works, where can I download this costum rom ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
I've found only one instance of this so far in the development forum by user malickie but they seem to have just returned the phone and I don't believe it's unfixable.

It all started by my trying to update while retaining root without flashing a stock 2.3.5. I tried the "three lines of code method", editing from within the phone using either FX or ES explorer (one initially wouldn't paste back into /system/bin after I made a backup on the sd card).

When I tried to update it got as far as the recovery image, the android with the folder and arrow, and eventually crashed telling me I had invalid this and that; CDROM, SYSTEM, WEBTOP. Sorry, I don't remember the specifics. I shut it down and it bootlooped as far as the AT&T logo droplet thing.

I launched into forum scrounging mode, got RSD Lite 5.6, the FXZ, the update.zip, and flashed back to 2.3.5. The first time I shut down after this it bootlooped again. So I flashed it again, so far so good, so I figured I'd go ahead and update to 2.3.6. More bad luck as it tells me "insufficient memory please factory reset". I try this, and it goes into fastboot telling me "Invalid CG (cg: recovery)".

So, I've been scrounging all day trying to figure out if this issue has been solved to no avail Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I hate to say it, but it sounds like you might have a bad phone.

But you can try using the beginner thread and use the directions there to flash the fxz, but try unzipping the fxz and then go into RSD lite and click on the "..." button, and then select the xml file and start flashing.

If that does not work, there is another way, but you have to be VERY careful, because this can hard-brick your phone.

Last ditch, but ONLY if the others don't work, do this:

Make sure your have the android sdk installed:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Then go grab this, and put in the same directory as the SDK installed to, under platform-tools:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=890596

Then open a command line in the directory that you saved and unzipped the fxz in, then;

put your phone in fastboot mode, connect the USB cable, and:

[FONT=monospace]
[/FONT]fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
fastboot reboot

No guarantees this will work
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
The first two work fine, returning "OKAY". However, if I try any type of flashing from the cmd prompt I get a "FAILED".

C:\*\InlineFlashing_etc>fastboot erase userdata

I realize we have a locked bootloader so is there a step I might have missed? I flashed back the updated fxz (that's now 18 steps instead of 20, and PS. this renders me with a functional phone, just not one that can update) and luckily I can seem to get back to at least this state consistently.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
Ok, so I tried rooting in this state and used the ADB method from the Beginners' Guide to attempt to retain root through the update. This time there was nothing about insufficient memory, it just downloaded the update and then tried to reboot for the install but instead of going to unzip the package it goes straight back to fastboot flash mode with another failure.

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.65

Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable

On the bright side it's not taunting me with invalid partitions but then again it won't boot normally either. I'm stuck on this screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Try pulling the battery and then booting into boot selection mode. (Press+hold volume buttons, then power button) and select "normal boot".

If that doesn't work then flash the fxz... again.

Did you do manual or one-click root?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ri4naire:
Ok, I had to plug it in overnight, making sure not to press the power button because it would go into "AP Fastboot", because my battery ran low. I'm flashing the updated FXZ again right now.

I've only ever done the One-Click Root. The first time I tried to retain root, what started all this, was using only the phone. This last time I used the ADB method and it didn't demand I factory reset.

Interestingly, when I tried that factory reset that's when it told me my recovery image wasn't good. I've noticed that the FXZ doesn't flash recovery.img but it does flash system, boot, and preinstall. So, is it possible I could manipulate that file to perform the steps you, Jim, suggested? I should just need to create an MD5 sum and follow the template of the rest of the time, right?
