[HTC EVO 3D] TechnoHacker:
So last night I used the 2.08.651 temp root and was able to backup my apps (even though im on 2.17). Now I'm wondering how I can permanent root on 2.3.4 with 2.17.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239821

I'm a little confused with that guide. Can someone help me out?

(like must i flash the 2.08 RUU?)

My EVO is on:

Stock 2.3.4

HBOOT 1.50

2.17.651.5
[HTC EVO 3D] phillip1953:
Welcome to the club of "No permanent root" (yet) if you have an Evo 3d with HBOOT 1.5.

As far as I know, the best we can have is "temp root" using HTC's "unlock" method. I'm in the same boat as you. I might me wrong, but I don't think flashing 2.08 will do you any good.
[HTC EVO 3D] zbergmark:


You will have to use htcdev.com method for unlocking.

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/

Zedomax I believe has the best guide for rooting 2.17 hboot hboot 1.5.

No you don't need to flash 2.08. With s-on for some roms you will have to unzip the ROM and put the boot.img in the SDK tools or whatever folder adb and fastboot are in. 2.17 has some very stable roms, check out Cleanrom and meanrom from mikeyxda
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
I've also got some updated Flashing/notes (see my signature) that go along with Zedomax's guide.
[HTC EVO 3D] shizkoff777:
Ok let me ask a dumb question I've rooted my phone but still s on but I didn't upgrade my software to 2.17 how would be the safest way to do that. And please I apologize if I'm a noob
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Assuming u have Hboot 1.50, you need to re-lock the bootloader via fastboot command then run Full 2.17 Ruu (this will wipe the phone) , run the unlock code again & re-root. (same link in my signature)
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
Why do you want to upgrade to the new software package? Most ROMs are using the 2.08 software base for their builds.
[HTC EVO 3D] yucww210:
Good thinking..
[HTC EVO 3D] shizkoff777:
Mainly because I wanted to try the vipertom out

[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
Hello!

Quick question on gaming on the Droid RAZR. I've installed a few games on mine and on a couple of them, there seems to be an occasional lags.

Specifically on Fruit Ninja and Dragon, Fly!

It lags once every 10 seconds or, and when it does, it just freezes the screen for 1 - 2 seconds :eek:

Funny thing is, it doesn't seem to do it on, say, BriskSaber, which is pretty much Fruit Ninja with higher graphic and star wars skin... I also have Wind-up Knight which has awesome HD graphic and it never lags either.

I tried turning off data, background update, Wifi, even put it on Airplane mode.

Anybody ever experience this? Any help?

Thanks so much!

Red

ps: awesome video when registering btw.

Hello guys!

My friend is having the same problem, with Fruit Ninja and Go Ninja, sometimes the phone starts to lag. Does anyone know what could it be?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
I've noticed that the .211 ICS update has caused some stuttering in games that didn't have it before. On the .214 leak, this seems to have cleared up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
I'm on the same leak as you and I've had no problems running fruit ninja or any game for that matter. I'd double check to make sure you don't have numerous apps running in the background. Download setCPU and set the governor to hotplug because the leak I'm on defaulted the second core off (no idea why)
[XPERIA X8 General] m4GiC_h4mst3R:
Hi guys.

So, I have (basically) two problems : the first with my SDcard, the second with my language : I'm French.

If I'm not clear enough, please let me know, I will be glad to repeat what I want to mean.

Go back to the subject.

I switch off my phone normally, and since, my SD card (a 8Go PATRIOT) stopped working : the card isn't shown in the Parameters->Stockage->SDcard.

I tried to mount it on my laptop : the computer didn't react, as if I didn't insert anything into it.

I tried with an other SDcard of mine, it worked on the phone AND on the computer (I can write / read / run apks / format etc. this second card).

I tried to put the first SDcard (paatriot) into an other phone : she is still "invisible", the phone didin't react when I inserted it.

But, with an other Computer (familly's one), the card can be read!

So here I am : I have a card I can't read on my phone, I can"t read on my computer, I can't read on a friend's phone ; BUT I can read it on a différent computer.

There, I tried to format it => Windows told me I don't have the rights.

Some (mean) people might say : "Errrh noob, unlock the SD adapter"... Well I did it, and I also plug the SD card in a USB2.0 microSD adapter. So this is not the problem.

I tried to format it with SDFormatter V3.1, no success.

Woops I forgot : I use KuyaDroid on my X8, I didn't change the kernel at all.

So, what should I do know please?

(The topics already speaking about that kind of problems don't have any answer so, I'm asking that again).
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
Since the microSD fails to work on at least one computer and phone the first question would be: Did the card ever work before?

On another question: You happen to have the tech specs of the card you refer to, or a link to some site detailing the specs (Class and supported voltage levels especially)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eresac:
Hi all.

I'm in a big trouble, and in need of some great help.

I was on odin trying to install latest ICS with bootloader and re-partition and pit, and all the other files.

The process stuck at "set partition", and at:

...

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

The process went on at this for over an hour and odin was doing nothing so, after reading around that stopping it unplugging usb would not represent a problem, I did it.

Well, the phone is dead. :(

No download mode, no workaround removing battery, and also no fortune using JIG USB.

I've tried to search here and around, nothing I found helped.

Don't thing is a hardware related problem, because prior to the "odin step" everything was working.

So I guess it's a hard brick, still not related to a hardware issue.

Any help is deeply appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Dead phone probably due to the big no no of repartitioning .

If you cannot access the phone download recovery or via USB jig then its a service centre job .

Paid for probably as non official roms void warranty but thats down to the repairer to spot or not .

Other possible route is JTAG machine as posted on XDA .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
why did you choosed re-partition??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Judged by the latest ICS release and the lemming like noobs rushing to install their are going to be a few more bricks in the wall .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eresac:
You're right: I experienced some random restart in the last days, and in a guide I found from another site re-partition was suggested so ..... my fault! :(

Well, I've waited till today to switch to ICS, and tried to settle all the things well done.

Also coming from SGS 1, I used odin so many times before I would say I'm not a noob.

But in the end, you both are right, have to realize I've been "noobish" enough to have to go to a service center.

Think tomorrow I'll search

long story short i had to flash a ftf file to my r800at, so i used this ftf file (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255095) and i got everything set up (data) and i rooted it with superone click and downloaded and installed the CWM auto installer and i can NOT for the life of me boot into the recovery to backup to the nandroid file i have (backed up before i had to install the ftf file)

any ideas?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
I think you need unlocked bootloader.

But im pretty new, so wait for smarter people.

But I think you need an unlocked bootloader.

Turn off your device, hold search button and connect the cable, should glow blue.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaroger867:
you can install CWM from the app found in the market for the play. you dpnt need an unlocked bootloader.

i have a locked bootloader and i have the rom i mentioned above installed and the cwm it just wont boot into it now matter how many times i try (reboot and tap down volume button on SE screen)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
I just read more, learning more every minute, Try holding volume down from the start of the boot.

Try waiting till you see the words Sony Ericsson. (then press repeatedly) Thats what the sticky says. If not maybe its not there for some reason.

welcome to the xperia play forum, your gonna love the device. i cant put mine down, between MC3 and the emulators...its a great device
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
I don't think you're supposed to hold down the volume button, but rather press it rapidly from boot until the recovery pops up
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
I've wanted it since it came out. xD Im not using mine on AT&T though, going to use Straight Talk, But the A/AT is the only one with HSDPA 850/1900 for my region and a sim slot. xD

Cant wait to play everything this phone has to offer.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skaroger867:
youll need to unlock it then, not sure if sim unlock unlocks the boot loader or not. someone else will have to answer that for you.

but if you get the boot loader unlocked, you will have more options as to what roms you can install

[General Questions and Answers] loewenherz:
Hi guys,

as the title suggests I'm looking for a replacement for my Motorola Defy because of the locked bootloader and missing official updates.

So first of all: Is there a site which lists all the available android phones with open/unlocked bootloaders? (that way I could look for myself)

If not, what current android phone does have an open bootloader and a great developer community which produces good custom roms of the recent android versions? Furthermore I'd like to stay with "normal" sized smartphones, the Galaxy Nexus for example is just too big for my taste - I wanna easily fit the thing in my pocket and also generally prefer a device not a lot bigger than the Defy.

Thanks for your tips,

[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Just wanted to throw this out there. I know a lot of people are using location spoofer for streams that are blacked out in the NHL and NBA apps, myself included up till recently. I just discovered, at least with NHL gamecenter, if revoke course location permission and network state for the app, you can get all the games without using the spoofer first. I've confirmed this with the cracked NHL gamecenter v. 1.1229...I used permissions denied by Stephen from the market to revoke.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Confirmed with last nights rangers game, living in ny, any game airing on msg network is blacked out for us in the app, I had all the streams available to watch last night after trying this. I expected a error for the location, but didn't get one at all
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Wait wait, what? How do I watch the Sharks games for free in the NHL Gamecenter app? I don't care about all the nationally broadcast games that are free for 4G users. Sharks are never on that list.

Use permissions free on the regular NHL app or do I need the cracked one as well?
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Correction, I revoked network state and course location state, left fine location alone.

EDIT:

these are screenshots of 2 of my phones, one subject to black the other not.. not spoofer turned on
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Head over to mobilism forum, search NHL gamecenter, xda frowns on this kind of stuff.. all they did is edit the xml for the free version and modify the 30 minute video preview to 99999999 minutes. Games are subject to blackout though if local...that's where the spoofer comes in
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Ok standby...
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
the verizon 4g app is only for NBC broadcasts, kinda worthless.. need the regular gamecenter
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Yep, and of course the one team I want to watch isn't on there.

BTW, in 3 minutes I'll know for sure: You are a god among men. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
I canceled my subscription for gamecenter on tv after getting a mhl adapter to stream from phone to TV.. best money i ever saved..lol
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
only weird thing i found happening is w/in the list of active games it no longer says what period they are in just says null...
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
The first night I watched it was still telling me periods, but the next time I checked it also said null.

Permissions Denied app isn't working for me so I used location spoofer. Interestingly, I set it to spoof for two hours but at the end of the night, my cell towers were still being spoofed. But I had set my real location as the first location so I easily placed it back to me again.

I emailed the dev of permissions denied but I haven't gotten a response... Did you have to enable any additional settings for it to work on the gamecenter app?
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
I had a hell of a time using permissions denied too.. did eventually get it to work though...hopefully we get a working cm port soon... Make It a lot easier to do.. as long as that option is left in cm9 like it was in cm7

I don't know if i have to download cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4only-odin.tar.md5 or cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4+rfs-odin.tar.md5 ? How to know my filesystem?

And i don't know if i have to install ext4-formatter.zip or not?

Someone can help me please? :P

Thank you and sorry for my bad english :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Use ext4 and rfs version, formattor is not needed
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] atirox:
Just as a FYI, RFS is essentially used by the stock rom only. If you come across a rom thats based on stock, chances are it will use RFS. An example would be the ArpegGioMod rom by Darkshado. If you want the most versitality, go with what voetbalremco said.

Thanks you for your answer, but there are always a thing that i don't understand... I come form a stock rom, so my filesystem is RFS, but to use cyanogenmod, if need ext4 no? So i have to format in ext4 no?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] BozeVogel:
You need to flash ext4-formatter.zip when you come from stock.

My CM7 Install guide.

-Note: Install every zip named: "update.zip" and place on the sd.

1 Download latest and install ClockworkMod Recovery (signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip > ext4 internal partition, you should use cwm with ext4only). ( Place it on root of your sdcard. reboot to recovery mode. install this cwm from recovery)

link recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421650

NOTE 1: From cwm-5.0.2.8 not need to choose right cwm for your rom (ext or rfs). CWM can used on ext4 & rfs filesystem. But if you want to format from rfs to ext4 (example: installing cyanogenMod rom from official samsung's rom) U need ext4formatter & flash it from cwm-5.0.2.8. ext4formatter.

1.5 reboot in recovery en factory reset etc. (And cache wipen. See note 2)

2 Flash Cyanogenmod 7 ROM :

Download and copy the latest CM7 ROM to SD Card

Reboot to Recovery Mode

Select install zip from sd card

Select choose zip from sd card

Select the new CM7 ROM

Select Yes - Install update

Wait till the Installation is finish

Select reboot system now

3 flash Cyanogenmod 7 rom update. Same way as stap 2.

NOTE 2:

It's not automatically wipe your data. if you want to install fresh rom, you must wipe data before install it! If you from stock / custom rom based on rfs filesystem, u must flash ext4-formatter.zip before flash CyanogenMod. link & instruction can fount on This Thread. otherwise you'll stuck on android logo because it cant mount rfs filesystem! have problem after upgrade from earlier cyanogenMod? you should wipe your data!!

4? ext4-formatter.zip (Flash from Recovery) Not needed if: signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip is flashed.

Sd card can be formated with a uttility form windows or from recovery.

4.5 Make a nandroid backup if you like! (Ore first a Tatanium backup of new progams installed)

5 Install & Enable a2sd Darktremor (Clean up sdcard a bit first if you like)

(This programs comes with CM7)

go to terminal emulator and write:

su

a2sd zipalign

a2sd cachesdreset.

if u want use a2sd extream (move data to sd-ext):

a2sd datasd

6 Install & Enable Simple2Ext (S2E)

(Personally i did skip step 5 and 6 for now.)

Gl:)

Last note: If you want to be able to install a other rom that uses a frs internal system partition it would be best to install a original rom. A rom made by Samsung (OTA its called i think) After that you're internal partition is on rfs format again.
