progress

matter of fact: this is true. indeed, MENU & BACK by now I rather use my fingers and use STYLUS on touch-screen exclusively for optimum performance.

ICS 4.0 supports pressure-sensitive stylii. they finally understood what PALM knew all along during the 1990's era. this is progress, huh :confused:

Reason for this guide:

I have tried to go back to RUU and doing this with the RUU applications didn't work, the installation always failed. Because of that I was a bit afraid never to be able to get back to stock / RUU again ;)

steps I did - i'm not sure if step 2 and 3 are necessary, but for me it worked like this ;)

!!!DO NOT RELOCK the bootloader before Step 4 - this will brick your phone!!!

1. download RUU for your device here (check your radio at top the bootloader menu)

2. extract the RUU rom from RUU application

start the ruu application, even if it fails. also start the flashing process, nothing will happen here. search for the ruu logs, for me at c:\ruu_log. in the log (for me in line 191) is the path to the rom.zip that should get flashed. something in temp folder... for me the line looks like this:

"<T093343><DEBUG><CMD>fastboot -s HT1BMVMXYZ flash zip C:\users\raangu\AppData\Local\Temp\{1235}\{12345}\rom.zip</CMD></DEBUG></T093343>"

3. flash the needed images

in the rom.zip you will find a boot_signed.img, a system.img and a recovery_signed.img. flash all these images with fastboot.

In command line:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

4. relock the bootloader

In command line:

fastboot oem lock

5. install with RUU application

now run the RUU application again and follow the instructions.

You are back on RUU now! :D

can u explain better this part...?? what does it mean "flash all these images with fastboot..??:confused:

P.S: i don't have any ROM.ZP file in my local\temp\ directory......only an empty directory....

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mmtrt:
Thank you Raangu and jaggyjags for doing awesome job here.

I've questions regarding to RUU, if I want to flash RUU other then my device's Radio version or flash older RUU then my device's stock Rom,

will these brick my phone?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] raangu:
Hi agv983,

with "flash all these images with fastboot" I mean the lines below:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

so you dont flash these things with cwm or something else. you do it with fastboot in command line.

did you take a look in the ruu_log? the path is written there.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] raangu:
Hi PaXGeN,

I'm not sure if this changes your Device ID :p

Maybe only for sensation?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] raangu:
Hi mmtrt,

I can't tell if it bricks your phone, but there are several RUUs for different Radio versions available. thought for each Radio there is also a RUU...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] uzairjhandir:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
lol, dont worry, reflash the recovery as you did in the tutorial when rooting and install another rom
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] som_888:
thanks raangu and jaggyjags for all the stuff u have been providing.....just wanted to ask some questions...

1)can i flash recovery_signed.img of other software version to my current version i.e. can i flash 1.10.720.2 recovery_signed.img to 1.13.720.3 to remove the chinese custom recovery which i have flashed....(i have not flashed any custom rom)

3) does nandroid backup include the stock recovery file....please reply

thank you

@raangu i found the version of ruu required for me,i got the info in settings-->about phone-->software version.

please help....thank you...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cined:
I'm getting the log file but there isn't any zip.rom in the log file.

Any ideas?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] som_888:
try this instead

1. Download the RUU.

2. Open the RUU exe file, and proceed until you get to the page which says 'View Readme'. At that point, stop.

3. Go to your TEMP folder (on Windows 7 it'll be something like : C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp

4. Look for folders that have lots of characters in that format: "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}". One of the folders will contain two files, and another folder with the same "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}" format. Open that folder.

5. In there, you will see either rom.zip or firmware.zip (depending on the device).

It says when trying to flash system.img,, date length too large

help me please :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] rooo7:

---- 2. extract the RUU rom from RUU application----

where i can find the RUU application??

PS: my phone is: HTC EXPLORER with jaggyrom, and i'd return to my stock rom.

i've downloaded my stock rom following this discussion--- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569430

because your download link page wasn't running to me, but i think that roms are the same.

thnx
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prateek.maac:
A total successful unrooting and reverting to stock

Warning dont flash any other rom before this step in order to retain factory status you have to maintain the default rom on which rooting was done

for those who want to revert to stock from jaggy or any other make a clockwork backup of your stock rom even if it is rooted

Step 1 : if you have messed up in previous posts by our friend dont be alarmed

make sure you have clockwork mod of your original rom backed up in sd card or in the computer copied from sd card

to do this go to the recovery option choose backup and restore in this select restore and select the backup you did with your stock rom

Step 2 : download these files ( also noted in my system the android sdk was in c drive root as c:\Android else make a fresh installation of the android sdk ) GIVEN BELOW AT THE END OF POST

Step 3 : on c drive paste these files in c:\Android ( if file not there in pc install sdk in this folder ) now open cmd from start menu

Step 4 : Execute commands

cd c:\Android

fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

(fastbooting system .img mentioned in previous post is not required as it will conflict with the hboot and it too tiresome to get the sock back)

Final step : now with the stock boot and recovery of htc default signed just restart your cell phone and got to settings > storage >factory reset

Ta da your phone is unrooted now for the grand finale lock the HBOOT

execute command : fastboot oem lock

to lock the boot loader

now it will show relocked now at this stage if you got your factory default ruu matched with the software version of your phone in my case it was

V1.31.728.1

then flash that ruu and vola your phone is crystal clear no hboot relocked or no rooting ever shown.

Try it and press thanks if liked

I just got a Galaxy W 2 days back, and I absolutely love it, but there is this one issue I am constantly facing.

Whenever I use my headphones, after removing them, the Music ( or whatever audio an app has ) gets routed through the top speaker

(Image Attached) . Although I found a workaround, i.e calling someone on handsfree mode does the trick, Can't find any permanent fix.

Would be glad if someone here could help me out with it. I can't figure out if its a hardware problem or a software bug.

Just got it back from the Samsung Centre, they say it was a software issue. ( Though its still LA2) Anyways, its solved now.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
And what they did with your phone? Factory defaults or what?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] RSX901:
I've been having this same problem. I'm glad to hear it's a software problem. I toyed with the idea of sending my phone off to Samsung but I'm glad I didn't now. Especially as I'm planning on rooting soon once I've done a bit more reading up (it's my first android, feels strange to be a beginner with something again, takes a while to learn all the little tricks).

Anyway I posted the following to Android Forums a couple of weeks ago, with no reply (I can see this forum is much more active).

"A problem I've been having recently (not exactly sure when it first happened) is that I'll go to watch a video and instead of the sound coming out of the loudspeaker, it comes out of the handset/phone speaker (not sure what you call it, the one above the screen for putting your ear to). Needless to say it's way too quiet to hear anything properly. It's happened randomly now about 6 or 7 times. I've had to restart the phone every time to remedy the problem. It's getting kinda annoying.

Also I think my headphone volume may be playing up. Not sure if it's related, but there's been times where at full volume music has been pretty underwhelming (I know about the dreaded EU volume cap (which I hope to remedy with a forthcoming root once I've read more up on the subject), no - it seemed even quieter). I'm almost sure there's something wrong because all of a sudden earlier today while listening to some sounds the volume jumped up to what seemed more akin to a maximum volume.

Could these two problems be related? And if so could anyone suggest what I could do to sort this out? Perhaps a factory reset (which I understand I'll have to do if I want to root anyway)? I really don't want to have to send it off for repair. I dunno if I could part with my new favourite toy lol."

Anyway OP you're not alone. Glad to hear you got it sorted. Mine's an XXKK1 btw, although I don't really know what that means.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] enarsee:

Hi,

I recently moved from Europe to Mexico with my Nexus S phone. My model: I90233G uses HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 bandwidth

Seems they use a different bandwidth here in Mexico, 1900mhz. Thus I have two questions for you:

Can I still use 3g down here with my phone or am I forced to 2g?

Is there any way to hack phone and change to 1900mhz?

but.. got a problem on managing permissions tough, prolly something i dit wrong but cant find whats the wrong thing.

I go Settings, Cyanogenmod Settings, Application, Permission management, and activate that.

Then i go to Settings, Applications, Manage applications, choose an app, and when try to tap a Permission to disable or enable it, nothing happens. No way to tap any permission on my wildfire.

Please help me finding that, its giving me nuts :confused:

I had the same thing a while back, but the solution was very simple: Wildfire has so low resolution screen, that you couldnt see the line over text (striketrough or whatever), just look very closely or clean your screen.

Does the proximity sensor trigger an email check/update?

It just seems that every time I walk near my phone, email comes to my phone ie I know email is in my inbox for a couple of minutes, walk near my phone and my phone beeps to say i have an email, I stay away, and it doesnt beep, walk near it, it beeps for an email.

I don't know anything about this but when you test the proximity sensor with androsensor, it is triggered only when something is within 5 cm of the speaker, so there is no way it can detect that you're walking by.

im on a rooted phone. on accasion, i experience lags on my phone.. its annoying.. how do i eliminate them?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well first you have to find what is causing the lag? What apps do you have running? Are you over clocked or undervolted?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RolAr:
Are there any specific situations that are lagging?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrealized:
Well it depends on the parts of the phone. So many things cause lag.

First of all, your CPU could be too slow, in that case you could (almost always) overclock it, so it runs faster.

Secondly, the amount of RAM affects performance A LOT as well. As a fix you could try running less applications.

And last, but not the least, some things cause unneeded stress on the cpu. You should really check the source of the problems. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpmpv:
I would install an app to check how much of your memory is free. Sounds to me like you dont have much free memory so your phone has to kill processes to make room for anything you want to do. This takes time which could be causing your lag
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binlad:
its not the apps. and yes, im underclocked. but that isnt the reason for the lags because i overclocked and i still get lags. also, i dont want to overclock too much for the sake of the battery.

the 1st gen iphone is less powerful than my current phone, which is the htc inspire.. but it DOES NOT lag at all.. why is it that a 5 year old phone outperforms a relatively new phone?

i would say when i scroll through the home screen, it seems like the screens are struggling to scroll. and when i dial buttons on my dialer to move through the menu options on a specific call with those options. the proximity sensor takes a long time to light up my phone when i take it off my ear to dial on my dialer. the iphone, on the other hand, takes a split sec. again, why is a less powered phone smoother than a more powerful phone?

i wish there was a way to check for that.

i got lots of free memory. 326mb are used and 295mb are free.

also, i got to reiterate something i said before that deserves great attentiopn in the android community. why the hell is it that the iphone 1st gen outperforms my htc inspire which has a faster processor and more memory? this is really mindboggling. i have read many people complain about this issue before. and they use the old, 5 year old iphone as a benchmark. both phones are based on linux. i suspect that the filesystem of android is far different that that of the iphone. i think this is the problem. its not the phone, its the android o/s. its really sad that an old ass iphone kicks android in the ass when it comes to lags free and smooth scrolling.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
First off how do you know its not the apps? What rom are you running? Many things effect how fast a phone runs.

As for the Icrap. IT is easy to make an OS run smooth on a single set of hardware. Not to mention there are is alot less going on inside IOS then there is on android. To be honest most dont really care how IOS runs. Every OS has its issues.

I have no lag on my phone what so ever
