Second that..:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imsotall:
I am trying to install a new boot aninmation. I have followed the following steps but it is still not working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1) Unlocked bootloader

2) Rooted

3) Flashed AOKP M3

4) Adjusted permissions of the original bootanimation.zip located in \system\media

5) Renamed the original file to bootanimationold.zip

6) Copied a new bootanimation.zip file to \system\media

7) Rebooted but I still see the AOKP unicorn boot animation.

8) Copied the new bootanimation.zip to \data\local\

9) Rebooted - Still seeing the annoying sparkly unicorn!

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
mae sure you dont have an extra folder within your boot animation. Test it bydouble clicking the zip file. If you see another folder named boot animation.zip, its packaged wrong. All there should be inside your bootanimation.zip file is a desc.txt file and part0 or part1 folders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imsotall:
Thank you very much sir.

Your fix worked. I can't believe it was something as simple as that!

Hats off the the whole XDA community for being able to resolve problems so quickly and intelligently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Thanks, we try, lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
This is not working for me. I took a bootanimation as a template reworked it with same file names. Originally the files went from 10KB to 90KB.. Then I saw the originals were 8bit so I converted mine to 8bit thinking that was the problem. No go, just black screen. I don't have an extra folder in my zip or anything. My desc file is also unchanged and says..

720 1280 60

p 0 0 part0

Is there a cache I have to clear or something? I put it in system/media. I've used other bootanimations without issue. Is there a compression on the zip file? I put the original back in and poof it works. Makes no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
You need to set your compression method to 'store'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Did that too. Man I am stumped.

EDIT: used 7zip instead of winrar.. same thing.

I'd be more than happy to send my bootanimation to anyone who wants to figure out why it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
So nobody knows.... that's depressing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilskywalker:
If you upload the file I'd be happy to check it out for you bud, no promises though! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
When I get back home I will do just that, PM you with a url.. I'm stumped really, I think it might be because I used PAINT.NET. Maybe it doesn't support PNG as well as Photoshop..I wanted to finish this up, track down the original developer of the bootanimation and offer that as a fancied up bootanimation. If I can get it to work, I'll add new realistic looking gears and some light flairs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilskywalker:
Hey buddy,

I tried the link you sent me, there is no file there. Can you upload the file to this thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NathanielCaron:
txt

Hi,

I kind of discovered recently that the formatting of the text file varies sometimes for reasons I have yet to unveil.

File 1

720 1280 30

p 0 0 part0

(empty line)

I modified a couple of png and it didn't work anymore, black screen...modified the txt file.

File 2

720 1280 30

(empty line)

p 0 0 part0

(empty line)

Now it works again.

Hope it helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Hmm that would be weird because I am using the untouched desc.txt file and it doesn't have blank lines but I'll give that a try. I used Boot Animation Creator and at the end it appears to allow you to see a preview however it didn't show a preview. What a mystery.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
No need to worry, while I didn't figure out the problem exactly, I changed the file type to jpg and it works perfectly now. I lose some colour depth but it still retains enough quality to look good. I took bad4u6669 original creation and made it more to my liking. I hope he doesn't mind. I can't even remember where I downloaded it to be honest! :) Anyhow, for anyone interested, it's attached and a screenshot.

Cheers!

I've connected my old Droid 2 to the same device and never had any issues. I am using pandora as my source of muisc and i made sure there was full 4g coverage when I tried this.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzpwhx2:
Please help me on this.....

So here the problem : As you are aware many times this problem seems to "popup" from Google Servers I mean "my apps" tab simply doesn' show your apps and gives just a white page with "Apps" and Games buttons telling you that "here will appear account applications" or something like that.

- freezing and wiping all Market and Google framework related apps with totally unlinking user apps from the market simply give you 2 seconds of happiness listing all your installed apps but after few moments the problem is there again.

- data format, fresh reinstalling OMEGA rom or other 2.3.6 rom seems to give the same result : signing up with my account (without any apps installed) gives the list of applications but installing just one and the problem face off.

- trying to reinstall my old backup of stock (not deodexed) 2.3.4 roms seems to give the list back and stay there.

So basically my stock original rom works (2.3.4) the other deodexed 2.3.6 seems to have this problem with my account.

Another thing I have seen is that if I unlink all my apps from my account seems to not work (also wiping data of market app) and if it does (resetting my account e signing back) after a while the list from "uninstalled" became "installed" so it seems that google automatically get the installed apps from my phone and link them.

No Idea.

Hope it will fix itself as other user reported time ago.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiThBo:
I have an R800i that is factory sim unlocked. It is rooted, using the zergrush exploit, but I havn't installed any recovery or tried to boot into recovery. Does this mean that the bootloader is unlocked?

Can I install a recovery using the auto installer method? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437840) Will this stop my phone from booting?, as I have heard that the recovery is installed on the kernal or something, and you need to flash a kernal to access recovery and boot up
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
If you have not attempted to unlock your bootloader, it is not unlocked.

But since you have a factory unlocked R800i, you can unlock your bootloader from here.

If your bootloader if unlocked you can flash custom kernels, and custom recoveries.

However, ClockworkMod Recovery is accessible from the auto-installer, and does not require an unlocked bootloader/custom kernel.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiThBo:
So if I use the auto installer, the stock rom will still boot. If I flash a rom from that recovery, will the recovery still be there afterward seeing as it is on the system part of the stock rom. Will a custom rom include the recovery seeing as it includes the kernal?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
As it seems even if HTCdev unlock tool is going to work to unlock devices, even then S-On is going to block us from flashing kernels, and use ICS roms.

Blue6ix is quite much on this stuff, thought we could start a thread brainstorming about this, how to do it, how was it done on other devices.

Generally, as blue6ix and I see, (and i did this based on howtos for g2, downgrading the g2 to get to a version where S-off was possible - a howto: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261 )this is how it can be done:

- Temp root or permroot (htcdev tool will work)

- Go root in terminal or adb shell

- Then somehow set the Version number in Misc partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 this time) to a lower number

- Flash and older RUU (full system update exe from HTC)

- use revolutionary to perm root and s-off on the old hboot etc.

Question one: is this (mmcblk0p31) really the misc partition? I read it in our guides that it is.

Now till we will be sure how to do this, thought to start a thread. Here, i'll attach my misc partition image and quote the starting bytes of it. Otherwiset the whole misc partition is full of Zeroes, maybe somewhere there's a CRC in it as well.

My start of the image (you know i used dd to grab it):

T-MOB010 DeviceWarmBoot ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙
CE Serial InUse Debug Cable Ena CE USB InUse
ClearAutoImage 1.28.531.9

I'd like to know, what this version exactly is. 1.28.531.9 . Maybe we should check new devices version. And compare the misc partitions of newer S-on devices. Also try to get knowledge if theres a CRC or not in this partition. and also, if this time it will or will not be enough to write this partition.

Pls, don't use this image in the zip, you might brick yourself.

UPDATE: check this, theory, but might work if someone SOn-Unlocked is brave enough to risk bricking.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Thanks for making the thread man.

I am out and about on my mobile, and won't be back at my dev station until midnight or tomorrow, so let me throw this out for now:

If you want to dump your partitions, what you have to do is pop open terminal or an adb shell and type:

su

...grant superuser permissions, then:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0.img

...and give it some time to run.

This will dump all your partitions to a single image file, where individual ones can be extracted later.

The file will be on your sdcard, and be named mmcblk0.img

If you want to dump a specific partition, after superuser permissions type instead:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img

... and this will give you the partition 31 as an image on your sdcard named mmcblk0p31.img

You can find the list of partitions here:

doubleshot Partitions and Mounts

Which is post 3 of my dev reference stickied here in development.

----

I already have my S-OFF partitions from the retail launch, and the latest OTA update.

We need the partitions from an S-ON UNLOCKED device, and also from an S-ON LOCKED device.

The single image dump of everything will be big, and have things we don't need like system and data (blocks 22 and 23 respectively). It may be difficult for people to upload but the individual partitions are not so bad.

----

Getting them from an S-ON LOCKED device will be a bit more difficult but with tacoroot you might be able to get some or all of them if you don't reboot first.

----

If anyone can contribute the files we need it would help the cause tremendously and shave a lot of time off making this happen - though i've got enough for us to muck through it so far.

----

This is the sole focus of my attention until we win and get all the S-ON devices to S-OFF status - the full range of limitations for the supposedly UNLOCKED devices has been brought to my attention now and that's just not gonna cut it.

I don't know if it's something to do with the messed up unlock or what, but the UNLOCK people can't do some things right, including flashing my ROM and that's just not acceptable. If I can't bring it up to workable for S-ON devices, then those devices will just have to be made S-OFF instead.

When I get home tonight/tomorrow i'll be working on this around the clock until it breaks or I need sleep - but my whole life is for nothing but this S-ON to S-OFF victory until it's accomplished once I get back to my dev station.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or files we don't have that can be provided, I wish I could explain more but am just about out of time for now.

Also - we will need more then just the misc partition but I don't have the two more minutes needed to list them now.

heres a source code version of misc_version tool:

http://cmw.22aaf3.com/common/misc_version_02.zip

from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)

going to take a peak on this c code. Might as well help us a lot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
relevant code:

while(!feof(fdin)) {
ch = fgetc(fdin);
if(ferror(fdin)) {
printf("Error reading backup file.\n");
exit(1);
}
// CID
if ((j>=0x0 && j<=0x7)&& (cid!=0)) {
ch = s_cid[j];
}
// VERSION
if ((j>=0xa0 && j<=0xa9)&& (set_version!=0)) {
ch = s_set_version[j-0xa0];
}
if(!feof(fdin)) fputc(ch, fdout);
if(ferror(fdout)) {
printf("Error writing output file.\n");
exit(1);
}
j++;
}
if(fclose(fdin)==EOF) {
printf("Error closing backup file.\n");
exit(1);
}

if(fclose(fdout)==EOF) {
printf("Error closing output file.\n");
exit(1);
}

Seems it simply replaces the Version number in the partitions appropriate position in the Partition. I cannot see CRC recoding, which means it was quite safe to do on the HTC desire Z/dhd/g2. Lets hope its the same with our devices Misc partition... :D

I will try to get the right position in the Partition image, mod the C code, and create the tool. I think then we will need brave S-on folks and the S-offable RUU exe for them...lol :D or if noone wants to risk bricking, maybe community could try raise money donating to blue6ix to let him buy a new phone for trying S-on -> S-off stuff. (i cannot do this, im in europe, but i will donate money to blue6ix for an S-on phone, if this method will prove viable theoretically)

basically process will be:

Unlock S-on, install Root on your official rom then command line adb:

adb shell

~ su

# misc_version -s 1.00.000.0 (maybe this version is okay, but we should look up a proper one)

Then copy the older S-offable RUU's PDxxxIMG zip to sdcard, reboot to bootloader, it should flash the older RUU and then you can use Revolutionary S-off.

Process will be rather similar to the one detailed here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)

We have one, the stock restore image - I tried to modify it to be the right version for the new hboot & system to accept, but some people tried it and no dice.

I could try again, in the time between I figured another way I could try - but it'll have to wait until I get back.

( also I replied in the bulletproof thread that people can only write part of boot, it'll flash the part for insecure access but not overwrite the ramdisk, so being able to write to boot is only partially true as determined by trial and error)
