[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bulgarien:
Android and Me is now saying that ICS on Flyer is on the way. Can anybody confirm this?

HTC’s first wave of Android updates will bring Ice Cream Sandwich to its phones powered by dual-core Qualcomm S3 processors. The overwhelming majoroty of HTC’s phones running on this chip are already on the update list, and we expect the remaining stragglers to be added shortly.

For a while, we also assumed HTC would be delivering the Android 4.0 update to its phones powered by single-core Qualcomm S2 processors. This assumption was partially confirmed when HTC announced that the Incredible S, Desire S and Desire HD would also be receiving the update. Since most of the other HTC phones powered by S2 chips feature most of the same components, we expect other US-specific devices to be added to the update list, as well.

While we would like to see Android 4.0 running on all HTC’s devices, those who own phones powered by Qualcomm S1 chips should not expect an Android 4.0 release. HTC has not given us any details about these phones yet, but the fact that Google has chosen to let the Nexus One live out its remain days on Gingerbread should be all the evidence we need. The HTC EVO 4G, Desire and DROID Incredible all share the same basic configuration and would most likely not have enough memory or processing power to run Android 4.0 as smoothly as HTC would like them to.

Se the full list here - with Flyer ...

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
This is just citing the same bad info as other sites and posts here. A chat CSR saying it's coming is not official confirmation. Although if the incredible s and design get it, I don't see why the flyer/view wouldn't in a perfect world.

We all need to stop getting excited over articles that cite that one slip up by the HTC support rep. Until something comes out of a press release, it's not official.

I would think a lot of people picked up this tab while it has been on sale the last couple of months. Maybe we need to hit their Facebook page and let them know we want it!

Will report back with updates.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maedhros:
HTC has been great to me in the smart phone sector, & I'd like to think they will support the Flyer with ICS too.

All I can say is... if HTC dosen't pump ICS to the Flyer either through a leak or something by Q2, my next tablet will be a Samsung lol.

As Much as I LOVE HTC, samsungs hardware superiority is undeniable.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] psijac:
I'd honestly HTC rather work on a tablet to compete with the transformer prime or the galaxy tab 7.7
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Flaco05:
And, if this is the case, I hope it has an active digitizer too. To me that is the biggest differentiator the Flyer brings (and the main reason I chose it over the competition).

Who really cares. A Dev will make an ICS rom eventually and HC works just fine for now with a good rom. Try this one:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Hello,

I just got myself a Samsung Galaxy SII from Amazon for $199.99. I already looked into the free deal Tmo is offering..but I would have to pay way more per month to get it so I didn't bother.

I have been following the development of Android mods for a long while on XDA with my Nexus S; some great work for it and I'm a big Cyanogenmod fan.

So I tried Darkside's mod and Tuesday, didn't really care for TouchWiz and everything on those ROMs, so I decided to go ahead and flash the abandoned CM7 build with the kernel on the Skyrocket forum, as I had seen some had done. I love how snappy the S2 is and I look forward to ICS support!

Just a couple of questions that I didn't find anywhere...I'm having a couple problems. On Angry Birds, it works just fine as long as I don't have data enabled, when an ad pops up it freezes and FCs. Youtube freezes when a video starts loading and FCs, and Netflix freezes when loading a movie as well and FCs. Video playback on the stock video player app is extremely choppy too. Are these problems possibly related? Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
All the issues you named were fixed in the Alpha #2 of CM7 that can be found here. Welcome out of the shadows of XDA :)

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] wasim0:
Just want to know how to create odin flashable package of stock rom as a backup so that i can restore it when i mess up things later (like testing custom roms, etc).

Note: The backup/restore function of currently available cwm recovery is not working for me otherwise i wouldn't have created this thread. If there are any other ways of backing up your stock rom please share it.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
backup / restore in CWM 5.0.2.6 does work. maybe your sd card is broken.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] wasim0:
No dude its not working for me....can you tell me which rom are using.....stock rom? or custom rom? and if you are using custom rom then which one?

And its not just me, infact the developer of CWM recovery for galaxy y, himself said that he could not get backup/restore and many other functions to work.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Doky73:
This one is working for me, I made it using Galaxy Mini's recovery by correcting some entries.

To make backup you need at least 7-800 MB free space in your SD card
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
I was using stock ROMs, bancetDEV, creed2.5.2, GG-ROM 1.05 to bak/rest.

except for one BAK that became corrupted (bad MD5), I did not notice problems - apart from partitioning large sd card (4 GB no prob)

did you use the "fix permissions" (whatever that means in particular) function in CWM ?

I believe LINK2SD.apk is not fully compatible with CWM.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidgenius:
Hey guys. I dont have a fascinate but on of my friends does... can someone post a walkthrew with links to root and install cwm recovery? Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
1. You don't need to be rooted to flash a rom or custom recovery.

2. Look for droidstyle's guide in the general section, it has all (and I mean ALL) the info you need.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justforflashing:
OK...I have recently just rooted my Epic Touch. I really like the CWM Touch, but the only way I can get into it is thru ROM Manager. It wont boot into CWM using Vol up and power. It boots into the factory recovery.

My question:

Is this right? Is that how it SHOULD be? I can flash the Rogue CWM and boot into it thru vol up and power, but would like to boot into the CWM Touch the same way.

Any feedback!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Did you get CWM touch through rom manager? That's your problem. Look for rogue hitman in dev section. Flash through CWM and now you have the hitman kernel along with CWM touch

Edit: do not use rom manager, ever. Not for us my friend

Sent from my Blazing ET4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justforflashing:
Yeah...I typically dont. I never have on any other device ive had. I only used it this time to boot into recovery. I was gonna use the Rogue CWM but a couple of the ROMS say NOT to use it to flash that particular ROM with...specifically Blazer Rom.

Suggestions with that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I know it works fine on the blu kuban rom. I'm pretty sure you can use it on blazer after you install blazer. just if you do it before blazer it doesn't work right. I am talking about hitman btw. definately rom manager doesn't work for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
You can use rogue with blazer as there are different versions of it. Phantom is speaking of the rogue hitman that's coupled with touch recovery. You can use the version before that "gunslinger" and you'll be fine.

I am currently using rogue stock el29, which can be found in the dev section

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] towir022:
I do not really see any purpose of using CWM touch. The volume bar works just fine to navigate up and down. Seems like an unneeded improvement. Props to the devs for continuously pushing things further for that I am very grateful but personally I have no desire to change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
myself and my coworker seem to both have a problem flashing rogue hitman 1.50 on calks 2.8.1. not making a complaint here, as ive used it, and prefer the vol buttons like the above poster, just wanted to add that it may be a common thing for this rom/phone. i prefer 1.4.1 ;)
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
Generic, unbranded American (NAM) Xperia arc/LT15a ROM extracted through Update Service, run through SEUSdecrypt, repackaged with Bundle Package in Flash Tool.

Version

: v2.3.4, 2012 February

Baseband

: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-64

Kernel

: 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

Build

: 4.0.2.A.0.62

(Blue indicates change from previous 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware.)

NOTE: All 2011 Xperia firmwares EXCEPT build .62 can now be rooted directly using DooMLoRD's zergRush:

[YOUTUBE]9mfRA2j1vXg&hd=1[/YOUTUBE]

I repeat: THIS firmware CANNOT be rooted UNLESS you have an UNLOCKED bootloader and downgrade the kernel.

For UNLOCKED bootloaders ONLY:

DOWNLOAD: http://ul.to/tz3hl0yu/Recovery.rar

Steps:

Flash FTF via Flashtool.

Enter recovery with the command: fastboot boot recoveryARC.img

A recovery menu will appear in your phone.

Sets scripts assets: ENABLED

Flash RootXperia.zip via recovery. You have to copy RootXperia.zip to the SD card previously.

Reboot device.

If your bootloader is LOCKED:

Flash the previous LT15a .42 build here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1491066

Root using SuperOneClick or ZergRush.

Update over the air.

This FlashTool file works on ANY Xperia arc (LT15a/i).

Your arc does NOT have to be rooted.

Your arc does NOT have to be bootloader unlocked (except for root).

This does NOT re-lock a SIM unlocked phone (unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT).

This does NOT unlock your bootloader.

This WILL wipe your phone & root. Backup first.

You MUST have BOTH PC Companion and Update Service installed. MIRROR: http://jp1.ca/androidstuff

Please do NOT mirror files.

Also confirmed using TrevE's Logger Test App that this firmware does NOT contain the privacy invading rookit by Carrier IQ.
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
Thank for the new ROM,

Q: What are the differences between NAM ROM and other ROMs (e.g. Global)?

Q: Is there a HOPE:) that this ROM will be rooted some day for Locked BL:(?

Q: Is there a big difference between .42 and .62?

Thanks a lot in advance.:D
[Xperia Arc General] SL_Don:
To have this version rooted flash .42 NAM generic root it then do an over the air update too .62 you will then have root .62 don't modify the system apps in anyway before the update as it will fail
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
All the generic ROMs are pretty similar. Some may have additional languages or applications specific to the region (but not carrier apps). Frankly, it doesn't really matter. I've used Nordic, Hong Kong and UK ROMs all without issue.

As for rooting, it's CLEARLY STATED in the description:

As for the differences, I haven't seen any discernible, visible difference. Some users have reported better battery life, less lag, etc.
[Xperia Arc General] matus201:
I just received a notification that this update is available OTA on my .42. I, however, "freezed" some system apps. If I restore those apps (I didn't do any other internal changes) will OTA work? or is there still a risk of "bricking" a phone so that i will have to factory reset it?

THANKS!

\\edit: took the risk, update was smooth (and surprisingly fast!)

\\edit2: never mind, the reason it wsa so "smooth and fast" was that update failed. Any idea how to make it work?
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
I followed the above steps, BUT, the update was failed.

I flashed again .42 build, then, updated throw pc. I ended without Root. I tried to root my arc using SuperOneClick but i failed.

Any suggestion.
[Xperia Arc General] BluechipJ:
As stated multiple times: Update OVER-THE-AIR... (NOT through PC Companion...)

You have to have a SIM card in. You then force an update via Settings / About.
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
May be I was not clear. SORRY:D

At first, I flash .42 from the above link. I followed your instructions. I rooted the phone then updated over the air. The update was downloaded to my mobile. I pressed Install. The phone restarted but No update to .62!!!. Exactly same as matus201.

Then, I tried another way, I update through pc. the update works very well BUT it cant be rooted.

Any suggestion.:D
[Xperia Arc General] matus201:
I know that usually when OTA fails, it's because some system apps were removed / modified. But if nothing was modified (as in your case, dajj) i don't know what the problem is.

@Dajj: can you try if OTA works if you don't root .42?
[Xperia Arc General] Mobage:
If I use OTA update, will it wipe user data?
[Xperia Arc General] matus201:
no it won't.
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
Thank you for your answer. I downgraded to .42 and I have installed all my programs. I'll try to update using OTA maybe tomorrow or in the weekend.
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
I found that kaz93 has tried flashing without rooting and failed!!!

Here
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
I flashed again and root. Then, updated OTA and :D:D:D IT WORKED VERY WELL:D:D:D

Thank you all.
[Xperia Arc General] gtrab:
What's new ?? Is it worth the update ??
[Xperia Arc General] dajj:
Update to .62. I can't tell it is worth or not because I'm busy:confused:. But as others said, it has some improvement in battery life and task management.

Absolutely agree. If only people knew how hard qbking works behind the scenes...he doesn't get to flash something and sit back and enjoy it like most of us do.

I rooted my G2 awhile ago with a perma-root, and s-off. After that, I decided to sell it to get something better. I found only 1 good tutorial, and it showed you how to get back to stock. I did it, and it worked. It then updated to 2.3.4, S-Off is still S-Off. Long story short, I decided not to sell, and I want to reroot it. I know I have to downgrade for perma-root, but I read that if you try to downgrade 2.3.4 with S-Off, it becomes bricked. Someone please explain if I can just use the normal method, or is this more complicated than I think?

Thanks,
