[Thunderbolt General] sabercatpuck:
No loss method posted on YouTube

I just went through a procedure posted on Youtube by Nat3Mil that starts with a temp root of the 605.9 that then allows you to use revolutionary to root without data loss. I am running my first titanium backup on my now rooted thunderbolt 605.9 now and I am at the green end of noob town.

Since I cant paste links you will have to try a search for temp root 605.9 might throw Nat3Mil in for good measure.

here is the written part of the guide with the links removed

//WRITTEN GUIDE

1. install htc drivers

2. plug thunderbolt into computer

3. turn on usb debugging (settings, applications, development, (check) usb debugging, okay

4. download ThunderboltTempRoot.zip from link below

5. extract package to C:\

6. click start, type cmd, press enter

7. in command promt type

cd c:\ThunderboltTempRoot (press enter)

adb devices (press enter)

(at this point you should see your device listed with serial #, if not, reinstall the driver, make sure usb debugging is on, and remove any syncing software from computer (htc sync, itunes, etc) then try again. you cant continue unless your device is listed!)

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp (press enter)

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo (press enter)

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF (press enter)

8. Your thunderbolt is now temp rooted. DO NOT REBOOT or youll have to do this over.

9. go to my rooting video linked below and follow along to get perm root without wiping data! (you can skip the driver install, its the same driver as above)

Also on the video that he did showing the revolutionary part there was this note that speaks more to the original post:

SUCCESS! Booya, you rock. I used your other video for getting S-OFF with Gingerbread 2.4.3 and software update 2.11.605.9. Everything worked as shown in the videos. To my Apple-brandishing cohorts: I was able to do this with Windows XP via Parallels on a Macbook Pro. Make sure to have Parallels attach the phone to﻿ the Virtual Machine. Also, you might want to download the files required using a Windows browser just to prevent and corruptions issues when transferring between OSes.

::Ubuntu image and scripts:::

http://ubuntuone.com/1Ew1232e3D51PCjYOkkQU7

http://ubuntuone.com/6majPjQf42Mplb0RZpMjIF

unzip chroot.zip into /sdcard/bt5/ on your phone

(I can't give you the bt5.img I have, it already has a bunch of my stuff in it, just download the bt5.img here, from msullivans post, and take just the bt5.img and put it in your /sdcard/bt5/ folder with that you unzipped earlier.

You should have these files in /sdcard/bt5

bt.sh

mountonly

unionfs

fsrw

bt5.img

Once your files match what's shown above open terminal and:

gain root access for terminal

su

run the script from the directory

sh /sdcard/bt5/bt.sh

or change to the dir /sdcard/bt5

cd /sdcard/bt5

and run sh bt.sh

sh bt.sh

You should see it start up, and you'll be prompted to start VNC. type Y, for yes, enter

Because our phones are awesome, we want 1280X800 on our images. So, after you have answered yes to starting VNC, we need to edit /usr/bin/startvnc file.

vi /usr/bin/startvnc

change the last line to (it should say something like vncserver -geometry 800X480)

vncserver -geometry 1280x800

At this point the easy way is restart your phone, and start up bt5 again.

then go to VNC

edit /usr/bin/startvnc (in chroot) to vncserver -geometry 1280x800

restart phone, run bt.sh; sh /sdcard/bt5/bt.sh, and start up VNC

It's awesome, and works great with the BT mouse/keyboard, and the extra resolution makes it feel better than the old OQO's :-). it's awesome
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edounn:
also, if you want ubuntu, download the ARM ubuntu.img on XDA (there are everywhere) and just drop it in the folder, rename it to bt.img. (easy way) or change the bt.sh to reflect ubuntu.img everywhere it says bt.img

check your mount

type mount and look for /dev/block/mmcblk0pXX /system something like that where XX is the number you need to change in the script file.

should look somethinig like this

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system

24 depending on what you see in your file system.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
I have kind of a weird bug with Gallery lately. Images saved to Downloads and Screenshots and Camera appear just fine, but I also have several folders for pictures, like a Wallpapers folder. But for some reason, when I move photos into those folders, Gallery never shows them. It refuses to change since the folders were created, basically.

I've cleared Gallery's cache and data and even deleted the cache in the /sdcard/Android folder, which has solved issues in the past with it. Not having any luck, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Usually all that's needed to find any new media is to initiate a media rescan. A reboot will do that and there are free apps (e.g. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner&feature=search_result&hl=en) which can force a rescan, too.

Also make sure there is no ".nomedia" file in these directories.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Wow, I can't believe I overlooked something so obvious. I just installed that app and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
I think Quickpic also does this rescan, it always shows the media folders up to date...I find it generally faster and more reliable than stock galley, best of all its free and has no ads

hi, I have a problem with my HTC Desire HD. I was trying to get some call recording software up and running (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993793), I downgraded the ROM, successfuly ROOTed it, but when I tried to flash the radio, it froze (with a red bar at around 90%-ish). Also, I enabled S-OFF/ENG S-OFF beforehand.

I tried many utilities to flash the radio since then but no luck and now my wi-fi is not working - can't even turn it on.

any advice? :(

here's the info on that lil' brick of mine:

any suggestion to where do I find another stock ROMs? I'd love to have a phone in my language (Czech, not English for Singapore market)

Also, I really need that call redording up and runing. Phone is now rooted with S-OFF. further info follows:

Hi All,

Please can you help. My phone decided to reboot today for no reason and now is just sticking on the white screen with the HTC logo.

I've not tried any updates etc I was driving at the time and the phone was in a holder doing nothing :S

I've tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours and also leaving plugged in but still not booting.

I've pushed the down volume when turned on and can get to the multi colour screen and get the following information:

PD29100 SS-BC (4K)

SPL-5.11.2250.0(134400) MNG

MicroP(LED) 0x07

TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)

SD SANDISK 15193MB

Partition Info-v211v413

Does anyone have any ideas, there is nothing on the phone I don't mind losing so if I need to re-flash if someone could tell me which rom and some brief instructions that'll be great.

Thanks

venno
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
you will probably want to flash your device.

you can try flashing the latest Europe Shipped ROM, but if that doesn't work...

you may want to try and use the Y-Cable method, basically Goldcard method without the Goldcard.

Hi everybody.

I just bought my very first tablet- a GT p1000.

Now, in the past few days I've been watching vids about CM9, which I find extremely cool.

As I gather, it is nowhere near completed yet tho.

So, in the meantime, could you suggest some decent looking and 100% working rom for my tablet?

You gotta admit, this forum is not very search friendly.

I have official Froyo installed as of right now, which is not very nice.

Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering ya'll.

just go to the dev thread and see the most popular posts there.

I think Overcome 4.1 is most popular.

You can try Hyperdroid and Accudroid too. All are GB ROMs.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuf31:
Hi, I'm a newbie as well. Flash mine with Overcome 4.1 and then Hyperdroid a few days later.

My suggestion as a newbie is to use overcome 4.1 if u don't want to use stock rom.

I use Hyperdroid coz using Overcome, I have wifi disconnecting on it's own same like when I use stock GB 2.3.3

PS: Should u choose to use Hyperdroid, mind u it's a very slim rom, many of the standard app is not installed by default. But you can always install the removed applications manually. Hyperdroid has a zip file containing all the standard removed applications.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcus.85:
Thanks both for the suggestions.

I checked both out already.

I also checked aestethic only personalisations via apps and themes and I have to say they're pretty nice too (might just do that while waiting for CM9 in a few weeks).

Is it true tho that official GB has wifi problems?

That's worrying, since I'll be using wifi most of the time.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Wifi issue is hit and miss.

Maybe it is wifi router dependant. Maybe 10%-20% has it.

I'm downloading all the neccesary files on the link above, still waiting for completing ..

the problem is I never flash this gtab before so it not containing any cwm recovery yet , so if flash with overcome would it gives cwm recover to my gtab ?

just notice few things on the link above ;

1. it contain gingerbread rom , my gtab already on gb , should I still do this ?

2. it have No_wipe & Wipe versions , which one should I use ?

is this just to get cwm recovery ?

If you flash the gingerbread safe and the overcome kernel as descript in the how to you will get CWM.

I can't say, read the threads and take your favorite rom and flash that one first and try others as well before you setup your Phone to use it everyday so you will know what is available and works for you.
