[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldiecalypso:
anybody knows how to make a ROM customized and make a "update.img" to run on a un-rootable device? I know when you backup a linux image for example ubuntu, this image will run on all other PCs, the image will automatically knows the new PC's drivers and adapt everything with that, is it what happening to an android too ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfalcon:
It's not clear what exactly you mean by "un-rootable" device, but one cause an Android device cannot be rooted is that it requires signed updates. This signing happens using a special private key, which only device manufacturer knows. So, answering your question, if a device is truly un-rootable, it's likely impossible to make install custom update.img (because otherwise you could just include superuser binary in that custom image, and it wouldn't be unrootable in first place ;-) ).

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Answering second question, no, it's not the same for Android. Most Android device use ARM processor, and in ARM world you usually need to know addresses and other characteristics of every peripheral device (RAM, display, camera, etc.) to make it work, and those are different for different devices. So, full system image made for one device most likely won't work for another device (unless they're very similar).

But there're also those "partial updates", which doesn't have complete system image, but only some components, e.g. a theme or some application. Such partial updated might be possible to install on different devices. (But if such update comes from a vendor, it is usually locked for a particular device anyway).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldiecalypso:
let me make it clear, I have a MSI tablet, I tried all rooting ways like z4, Gingerbreak v1.20 and superoneclick nothing's working for it (so it's un-rootable at least because of I couldn't find any way for that!) .

I found an official "update.img" from msi website, i upgraded the ROM to the new version, it was when i found we can make root access by editing of the "update.img".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfalcon:
Well, "a MSI tablet" still doesn't sound too specific ;-). I guess, you might have more specific responses if you'd write the exact model name you have (did you also try to search forum for it?).

As an example, I can tell about Nook Tablet - its boot loader is exactly locked, requiring signed updates. But folks here at XDA devels still found a hole in it and described how to get root on it and how to install custom updates for it (and are working on CyanogenMod for it). I personally bought Nook because I knew there's a great, active community behind it, so there would be custom hacks and updates for it.

"MSI Windpad Enjoy 10" it's the exact model name. unfortunately this one is not a famous model and there's no useful information for this device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaybee327:
Goldiecalypso,

I do not know if it will work for you.

I have an Aishuo A816 which I could not get rooted, what I did was find a ROM that was pre rooted and forced an upgrade with that. Everthing is now fine and if I change rom I can now root with superoneclick.

This post will be used for announcing updates and changelogs!

The first update, to be announced here, will contain some CDMA kernels and ROMs... They will all get QR-Codes, so you can download them directly on to your Android, if neccesary!

Only use this package to root your phone and flash recovery!!

The other images/ZIPs are on their way!! Before I get told off, for not telling you this.... I am making a package, that will delete all GSM files!

This reduces size, and no one gets confused!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Cool. 400mb is the reason I wouldn't download it. Opinions:

Remove the extra crap. Include just your code.

Create a folder /flash and instruct people to just throw stuff in there. Then code your app to read and list the contents of that folder (If that's even possible).

Your program can't be more then a meg or two itself. This way people can just download your tool and flash whatever. It then won't ever be "outdated" with old files. Streamline it and it'll catch on.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
Hello.

I'm having a problem changing CPU scaling governor.

I'm using Jokersax's CM9 build (from 16/2/12) with the 1.3 kernel (stock), had the same problem with CM7 weeklies and any kernel I tried.

SetCPU doesn't allow me to change the governor at all, can't even select it.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors lists only performance and powersave.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor is an empty file.

Doing "modprobe cpufreq_ondemand" in a terminal as root says that the module can't be found.

Can any one point me in the right direction please?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
I think those are the defaults on most custom Atrix kernels. Clemsyn is the only one who uses interactive instead of performance(that I know of).

If you look in /sys/device/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver you'll notice it says "tegra cpufreq". I think this then uses the Tegra DVFS to scale frequencies using the two governors in scaling_available_governors. Hopefully someone else can jump in and clarify a bit better.

The reason ondemand can't be found is because the kernel probably wasn't compiled with that governor.

Try System Tuner if you want to be able to select between the two available governors (this worked for me when using Clemsyn's kernel on CM7), but I'm not sure what difference it will make. After using System Tuner, it also seemed to "unlock" the governor selection in SetCPU as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
Thank you.

I didn't realize ondemand wasn't built in because modprobe-ing the other two modules also returned a not found error so I figured something must be wrong.

System tuner did enable me to change the governor in SetCPU, though selecting either of them changes nothing as you said.

Oh well, if there is no ondemand governor then I'll let it do its thing how ever it wants.

Again, thank you for the replay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShot619:
I have a SGS GT-I9000 rooted n a ICS ROM

but when i tried to restore my default ROM back with CWM it got stuck on boot splash screen.

I also tried flashing the same kernel again but it didnt worked.

And when i boot into recovery mode it gives me errors like

E:can't mount/cache/recovery/log

E:can't open/cache/recovery/log

E:unknown volume for path[/cache/recovery/last_log]

and so on......

any solution anybody????plss.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daggi78:
Hi.

You can't restore your old gingerbread stock from ICS via nandroid.

You must flash the Stock ROM with Odin.

Befor that maybe you can flash the ICS kernel again and boot into ICS, then backup your clockworkmod folder via USB. After the Backup flash a stock ROM and cf-root or semaphore 2.5.0 via Odin.... after that load your clockworkmod folder to your internal SD-Card and boot into CWM. Now you can restore your Backup from gingerbread.

Sorry for my poor english. I hope you understand me.

// use the semaphore 0.8.1 kernel for ics. Than boot your phone and save the clockworkmod folder. When dosn't work, 1. flash the stock ROM 2. flash cf-root 3 boot in cwm go to restore and look for the backup... it must be in there

Thanx mate thanx a lot

u saved my mobile from dying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daggi78:
You're welcome.

my act is:

1. do a nandroid Backup of the system befor flash a new one.

2. Save the hole Backup folder on my PC and rename it like " system_old_date "

3. Flash the new system.

4. do a nandroid backup from the new system.

5. Save the hole Backup folder on my PC and rename it like " system_new_date "

With this 5 steps I'm always on the safe side.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShot619:
i do the same but this time dont kno how but it went wrong and those errors poped out
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daggi78:
I think:

The problem is ICS and Gingerbread are differnet systems, with different Kernels and paths.

When you start the restoreprocess the systemdata will be restored but not the kernel with CWM. Both systems have different paths, and so you get this error.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

may be ,but it didnt happned when i restored my SGS2 from CM9 to my rooted kernel

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gopalasubramanium:
Reflash

Perhaps, the instruction to installing ICS states that you should have done a full wipe (data + partition) and installed the ROM/Kernal again. It would have worked...anyways you are back on GB, enjoy :-)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] karlgo:
I see that AT&T has an update for us skyrocket owners. I'm suspecting that this is 2.3.6 - the update posted last year that was then subsequently pulled. I'm very curious to see what is different.

Has anyone already downloaded and installed the updated?

What version is it?

Can it be rooted?

I'm still stock (2.3.5) rooted, waiting for NexusMOD 3.0 (I can't believe I've been on stock although rooted for almost two weeks after moving to the skyrocket). Stock as actually been working surprisingly well until I went to tether from my A500 :(.​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrl3086:
I attempted to do the update (while rooted) and it is now frozen on a white screen with blue text "Software Update". I can't even get it to boot into recovery mode.

Not sure if updating while being rooted is a no-no (OK'd the update on accident) but my experience so far has not been a good one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] karlgo:

[LG Thrill 4G] Dreadfish:
This is my first post, so please excuse my naivety.

I recently flashed my Thrill to the most recent CM7 nightly (44 I believe) and since then my then fully charged battery will not report any charge. It constantly stays at 00% regardless of how many battery stat resets I do, or how long it stays on the charger.

I've tried reflashing CM7, as well as other firmwares in an attempt to right this wrong, but am coming up with nothing.

Is there a magic step I'm missing? I know my battery has a charge, but because it is reporting 00% the phone just shuts down.

Thanks in advance!
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
Actually if you flash CyanogenMod, your phone will not charge while off.

You could very well have a dead battery.

If you do then every time you boot to the OS the battery will die before it can charge fast enough.

What I suggest you try though is to charge it while turning it on and the minute it gets to the homescreen, turn off the screen.

[LG Thrill 4G] Dreadfish:
That was my strategy yesterday at work. I kept it plugged in with the screen off for 4 hours, and still have a 00% charge. I suppose I could see if a new battery would help...but I usually use this as an opportunity to just buy a new phone.

I'll stop by the ATT store later today and see if they'll let me try and put a new battery in to see if that is the case.

Thank you!

Hmm. Strange. I can't replicate it on my device...

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[LG Thrill 4G] Dreadfish:
My only thought is that somehow my battery got stuck in a state where it can only report 00%, regardless of the actual charge. The system sees a 00% battery and shuts down, because that is what the programming tells it to do.

I assume CWM doesn't look at the battery level while running, so it will continue to run regardless of what the perceived charge is...it'll just run until the battery actually dies.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Has anyone else noticed that a lot of OpenFeint games are acting weird? I noticed with Abduction! 2, if I go to Airplane mode, it will not force close. But, once I have internet access, it starts up and within a few seconds, it force closes. It's attempting to connect to OpenFeint but it won't.

On other games, such as Fruit Ninja, it will connect, but instead of my username, it gives me some weird number as my user ID. I have to open up OpenFeint, tell it to connect as a different user, and then log in under my actual handle. After that, the games will connect fine using my actual username, but Abduction! 2 still crashes unless I turn off internet access.

I'm running on a Droid X2. Yes, it is rooted and it's running CM7. However, I tested this under stock 2.3.4 and Eclipse 2.0.4 as well and the problem still persists.

I've gone and cleared all the data for the game, uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and the problem still persists. I've even gone and deleted the openfeint directory on my SDcard.

Any ideas? Every time Abduction! 2 crashes, I tell it to send a report, so hopefully there is something there.

I turned phone off and plugged in charger on 110v outlet in airport.

About 2 - 3 minutes after plugging it in - the phone spontaneously turned on and booted up.

Thought maybe I bumped the power button so I turned it off again and the same thing happened.

No, it wasn't that the screen was turned off. I did indeed shutdown the phone. It did turn itself on.

I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. Reports are that the 0115 version didn't do it, and it wasn't in the changelog, so it's possible that it was inadvertent.
