[Thinkpad Tablet General] opnsrcaddict:
The way I understand it, a downgrade from OTA2 is not possible because the stock recovery requires each update to have a verified signature. Editing OTA updates or removing the version check does not get past the signature verification. Even if the full system dump were to be used, there would be no way to force the stock recovery to flash it. There is no way to install CWM over the stock recovery until there is root access. This is also the reason why it took so long to root this tablet in the first place. The original root process took advantage of a vulnerability in one of the stock APK's Lenovo included. This vulnerability has since been patched. The way I see it, OTA2 will not be rooted unless another similar vulnerability is found. If that happens, CWM can be installed and anything is possible.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
I hope for the sake of all of those still waiting for root that something can be found.

Great explanation. Thanks! Definitely not my area. I'm fortunate to be able to follow the directions long enough to get root. :D
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
More devs really will solve the problem, in my opinion.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] byersbw:
So, anyone know a dev who wants to spend time on this? Cause I can tell you I have NO idea what I'm doing.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Spend time on what?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] quyTam:
no one is working on it.

Wait for the ICS
[Thinkpad Tablet General] byersbw:
Working on Rooting 2.0

Yeah... I just wish Lenovo would've released this thing with a solid OS build. The fact that the stylus is slow as hell, the unit runs slow as hell... it literally just sits on my desk and doesn't get used because it's not worth the frustration of dealing with the lag.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
-- Working on Rooting 2.0--

The exploit that was avaliable to some was patched by Lenovo and although 2.0 was looked at, it cannot be exploited again. The last thing I heard was no root until ICS.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rangercaptain:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] noefects:
once i get to step 8 to run SU i get permission denied (adb shell /cache/recovery/pwn/su), ive tried on 4 different systems at this point, xp win 7 x86 and 64 and Ubuntu. the rest of the script goes without issue. the only thing ive noticed is the MTP protocol never gets a driver on all the windows boxes. ADB interface driver is fine. could this have anything to do with the issue? or am I SOL I think i have tried everything i could possibly do. this thing is truly worthless to me if i cant get root and restore my backups. (100's of hours in sketchbook pro and pages of notes in quill)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Driver'z:

noefects

I have a similar situation. caulking here
[Thinkpad Tablet General] noefects:
sounds like we will have to wait till may for the ICS drop, people seem to feel confident there will be an exploit there, the only thing I'm happy about is that i purchased my tab for 300 bucks from my company, I think i would be a lot more upset with Lenovo had i paid full retail for this thing. ive already sent it to the depot twice, so all the launch hardware bugs are done (first was charging issue, new battery and mainboard, most recent was the power button, they also replaced the mainboard again.), so if i get it rooted it will stay rooted. and ill never update it again, love the tab hate the limitations put on it by the vendor.

same locked phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] buggs1a:
Oh ok, thanks very much.

Why is razr maxx boot loader thing an issue?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gene_Bailey:
Its an issue because without an unlocked boot loader you are restricted to the kernel in the build that comes with the phone stock or with what's provided OTA.

If Motorola were to lift the bootloader lock, than you would have complete freedom to replace all the software on the phone. Also it would make flashing ROMS much simpler. No need for bootstrap/safestrap anymore and you would be able to rely on more traditional recoveries like TWRP and CWM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] buggs1a:
Oh.

Thank you for responding. I appreciate you for it.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gene_Bailey:
No problem at all.

Honestly just having root access is a huge start.. But custom kernels are where your amazing battery life and driver support come in for some really amazing features.

Custom kernels are synonymous with custom ROM's. True over and underclocking are only possible with a custom kernel (except in rare cases) and if you want to undervolt? Definitely not going to happen on stock lol

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villu666:
Hi

I'm on [ROM][ICS][I9000] Team ICSSGS RC4.2 right now. It works fine, but when someone calls me my phone rings only once and then it's silent... When I'm on vibrate/vibrate+ring mode the vibration goes on like it should but there is still only one ring sound.

How to fix it? Any help?

thanx a lot in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danero2005:

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
Yes and me too please!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
As far as I am aware it is not a ROM issue.

I had the same problem. It is only with certain ring tones. Test the ringtones and find one that loops.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
I've sorted mine :D after reading this post.

Basically, if using a custom ringtone (MP3) you need to convert to OGG format, then add a tag to the file (there's a handy utility to do it there).

Very bizarrely, as I read elsewhere (or in that post?), the ringtones down as far as "Digital Phone" in the list DO repeat, and the ones after don't! Mine is named "Classic Bell" and so appears above, but if it came further down the list (e.g. "Old Bell"), then who knows!! I haven't tried it....

I'm on Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM BTW.
[Off-topic] KCRic:
About two months ago my car was hit. obviously when I go to sell it now it must be disclosed and that's going to drop the selling price. I was under the impression that the insurance pays out this difference but I've been told no, in fact in order to get that money I've lost I must report it on my tax return (which I've already done) as a loss. And in order to prove that I must get it appraised. Huh??

Does that sound right?

hi all

i have a problem with rooting.!

my phone bricked and i flashed 2.1.1.c.0.0.ftf

but now when i wanna root it with superoneclick or x8toolbox it stops at "waiting for device"

help me please.!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marijannovak123:

[HTC Sensation] k_ayal:
Hi freinds,

Just wanted to warn you about the anker battery.

Exploded in my device few months ago and forgot to write it in this forum.

Have a nice weekend,

k_ayal.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
WTF? Have a nice weekend?! LOL

Kind of want more details than that. Like, if you are rooted, if so what rom, were you overclocked, etc.,

"Have a nice weekend"....kinda like....here, your dog died, have a nice weekend!
[HTC Sensation] phammichael:
Is your dog ok?
[HTC Sensation] k_ayal:
LOL, wanted to know of someone is intrested.

My phone is rooted, the rom was virtuous 2.1.0, regular OC to 1.5 GHz.

The device was charged during the night and half an hour after I plugged it off the charger and was sitting in my car the phone exploded in the phone car holder doing nothing while explotion.

Hope your dog is fine :)
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
Was it in direct sunlight? I doubt the rom or clock speed had anything to do with it. If it wasnt charging it either got too hot or was puffed from use and finally went. I dont get why people are using the cheapest batteries they can find in 300 dollar phones. I did a comparison on an anker and the stock battery a while back and the anker ended up being about the same as the evo 3d battery iirc. Its totally not worth putting in your phone. Not to mention no temperature sensor! I can believe people would use a battery without one!
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Was there any damage to the phone? Any pictures of it in the phone? I think I smell lawsuit if that happens here.
[HTC Sensation] shirreer:
This sounds VERY bogus. No picture of your phone, or any explanation! Without hard evidence, your claim, which is first of its kind, is unverifiable.

Moreover, how do you know for a fact that it was Anker Battery that caused the meltdown, and NOT exposing your phone to direct sunlight for a prolonged period, though HTC specifically & expressly warns against it on the Manual!

Furthermore, Ankers are well praised for keeping cool temperatures.

Conclusion:

The only plausible scenario is that you were running your GPS while driving, with your phone hung in direct sunlight, for a long time. I believe this is how you killed your previous phone ( HTC Desire ) as well, only you blamed it on a faulty motherboard.

Advice:

My experience with driving with GPS on, and phone in direct sunlight cause these phones to heat up to fierce temperatures and something will inevitably break - my HD2's previous digitizer, for example. So, it would serve you better to put your phone away from sunlight if you use it as your daily GPS device.

better luck with your next phone, and I hope u remember my advice.

P.S. And, don't think your Samsung Galaxy SII is immune to this!!!!
[HTC Sensation] k_ayal:
answer

I just wanted to warn everybody, believe it or not - its your call.

I didnt add any photos of the phoone because nothing can be seen on it, it looks fine.

The device was exposed to sun for 10 minuts, it cant get the phone to such a high temperature, the phone was in idle mode, the gps wasnt on...

The 10 minutes didnt kill the phone, my desire was tested in HTC UK and verifyed as a problem in the mother board, beside that the desire was really in gps mode but it was 22:00...

What galaxy?...
[HTC Sensation] ibel:
get you to explain in more detail how it happened,

I need to know, cause I just bought it from ebay
[HTC Sensation] fannypoissons:

[HTC Sensation] Gaby98:

I AM CONFUSED. It totally makes NO SENSE.

Wait...what? It exploded in FEW MONTHS ago? and your phone is still fine? and you just go about your everyday life like nothing happened?

[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
'died' isn't quite exactly the same as 'exploded'. I was considering to import an Anker battery from an ebay seller but this topic has got me worried. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I wouldn't worry. I've had the anker battery for months and working great. There will always be the "one off". This is the first I have heard about the anker exploding. We aren't even 100% proof positive it was an anker in the first place. Or even if the anker in question was an authentic one.
[HTC Sensation] bud760:

[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:

[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
What I don't really get is how can these babies last much longer than stock? I mean I'm already running the 1730mah out of the box (XE)
[HTC Sensation] z31tt:
Something fishy...

If you look at the pic, it looks like debris from the battery is on the ground around it as if whatever happened to it happened while it was on the ground. Not in the phone. Why else would you take a pic of a battery sitting on the ground and not on a table or something?
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
I would think that if it was in the phone, the phone would be totaled as well.
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
This guy is a troll if a battery exploded in the phone the resulting phone would look like this

as you can see by the expansion of the battery pictured. Also the battery pictured shows no signs of being an anker or a sensation battery for that matter.
[HTC Sensation] ixon2001:
Alot of people on here have bought the Anker Battery inc me, so if this is true then it's a one off, otherwise alot more people would have reported on exploding Anker Batteries by now.

So those thinking about buying one there no need to worry about it killing your Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] cosmin_b78:
I'm using 2 anker batteries for the last 6 months. I have a standard HTC sensation, rooted with custom rom and overlooked to 1.51GHz. From my experience I can say that the phone is cooler with anker battery compared with the standard battery. I'm playing hungry graphic games and the battery is a bit hot, with the standard one is burning. I reckon that if is true and your battery exploded, must be a one off, or had some exteriors factors. This is my experience and I'm happy with my anker batteries.
[HTC Sensation] Shady Gambino:
I've also been using 2 Anker batteries with their universal battery charger, I just swap batteries when one dies, then charge the dead one. I hardly every plug in anymore and I've never had a problem. I'm stock, but plan on rooting once I get my replacement; my Sensation took a whiskey bath... :/

[HTC Sensation] smatthew45:

damn afraid it'd explode
[HTC Sensation] mumooshka:
I call bulltwang on this...surely an exploding battery like that would pretty much kill the phone...where's the pic of the 'fine' phone then? The width of the dead battery would definitely pull the phone asunder!

I have just charged my sensation with a brand new anker 1900mah battery..the charger's output was 5v DC (actually worried me) and the max voltage to charge this battery is 4.2 V.

The phone didn't even get warm...
[HTC Sensation] Ste05:
It's clearly just a trolling attempt, logically the story does not make sense, post up a picture of the phone and then maybe more people will listen.

I've had the Anker battery for months without any problem.

IB4 "threw the phone out months ago!!"
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
It could have been a bad batch, if that was the case, most of us have been using these batteries for months now, it sure would have exploded by now.
[HTC Sensation] qdochemistry:
The question is not whether the battery exploded but what kind of battery and where's the exploded phone? It would make very very little sense for someone to just keep the exploded battery and not the exploded phone. We want to believe you but we cant wo any prove . Can you please go blow up your sensation so I don't have to call it bs?
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Well, I had a similar episode where my phone battery was super hot, so hot that it burned your skin if you let it sit in your hand for more than half a second.

At first, I thought it was the phone itself because it felt really hot, so I opened and took the battery out, and realized it was the battery.

When I took the battery out, it was inflated. I let it sit for about 2 hrs when it was finally cold, put it back on the phone and it didn't turn on at all.

My phone was turning on just fine with my OEM battery.

I still use an Anker battery but I don't trust it 100% anymore.

I believe him that it exploded, even if he didn't give all the details.
[HTC Sensation] dizzyraider:
Yes, although very very rarely happens, there has been cases where battery malfunctions and "explodes". However with the way the Sensation is designed, the way the back casing encloses the phone, it is impossible for the phone to have no visible damage with the meltdown his battery had. It would have melted the surrounding plastic of the phone, it would IMPOSSIBLE for the phone to not have any damage, zero chance.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Do you happen to work for Anker by any chance?
[HTC Sensation] B1aze:
Again...loving my Anker here, runs great and cool, and with JuiceDefender advanced profiles, no problems. :)
[HTC Sensation] nech.q:
well, i wouldnt say im a heavy daily user, just few calls from work, but i do think arhd supplies a very good battery life for daily use, just flash it, it never go flat before u plug it in at nite
[HTC Sensation] jog21:
Yes, plus ICS installed ar has got a great battery life - but with anker solution you can do anything you want with the phone without battery paranoia.
[HTC Sensation] Ulverinho:
Even with calibrated stock battery (bump charged) and ICS Elegancia 3.3.3 - I have 2 days lifetime with 2-3 hours of Wi-Fi, also hours of music and book-reading, sometimes gaming. So I imagine with Anker it'll be omg how good)
