Looks promising guess i'll give it a try also the extension of the certificate file is .cer

was this why i kept getting no file could be found?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
If it's anything like the certificate files I'm used to dealing with then I'd expect it to have a .cer extension.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
Go back and read my posts. I think you have reading comprehension problems?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
No, I don't. Way to insult someone who was trying to help you though. You never mentioned an exact folder name until you went back and edited one of your posts.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
Like I said you have reading comprehension problems. Check when that post was edited and check today's date. Sorry but it is quite annoying when you repeatedly tell me to repeat a step when i already confirmed it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
The post you insulted my reading comprehension on wasn't from today either, genius.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
Just stop it already. Check post #8 where I clearly stated where I placed the file. Then you went on to say I did not state where I put the file. Btw reply back to this if you want because I won't be arguing with you back and forth on this topic since I already solved it thanks to the user who posted the link a few posts above
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hey, I'm glad you solved it. I'm just saying it's rude to throw insults around at people who were trying to help you. Especially a week after the fact. Whatever. Ok, I'll concede you meant to say where you put the file. Maybe I didn't understand you said where you put the file. Done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvJoe585:
Hello everyone, I did a little searching and yet to find a problem or resolution similar to mines. I am not new to flashing. Everything normally ran smooth on previous phones that I did. My final product after the flash is the issue.

Flashed phone is an Evo 4g. One prior owner, a close friend who bought it new from the Sprint store. Not going into the technical details( assuming everyone knows the process). But my donor phone this time was the incognito.

Problems: I have no idea what could of happened. When I call out the number shows as private on any phone that I call. I try calling the phone, it goes to voice mail. I call out pressing *82 to see if my number appears but I always get a "Welcome to Verizon wireless, your mobile number is not active or invalid" :confused::confused::confused: . When I press 611 it goes to the Sprint Carrier. Sms don't work but internet does. Any guidance would be appreciated. Anyway in which I can restart from the beginning without rerooting? Or a way to bring the original esn back, I could take it from there also.

-Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngchris29:
What rom are you using? Have you tried to update your profile and prl?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
Yeah, sounds like you have a Verizon prl or you are roaming, try updating it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9h0s7:
Or, a Sprint PRL with enabled roaming.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvJoe585:
Don't have the phone with me but a basic recovery rom (forgot the name) while rooting, updated to mikg sense rom, downgraded radios, flashed then received those issues, did a recovery from nand back up, issues still there. I'm not home yet, but i'll try to update the prl. I also thought it was one if those you guys stated. The other forum thinks that I screwed a middle step up and gave me some software( haven't tried it yet). But i'll update later.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvJoe585:
I believe that you are correct it's running off of roaming. Don't know why I get verizon error though.. But sadly I found where I went wrong. I fcked a middle step up. Only 9/10 of the data successfully transfered to the device for some reason. My rls log shows that my esn(hex) is zero'd out. That means that the other ways involving esn to restore are now deemed useless, unless there is a way involving org. Hex or dex. I would try rewriting locations using old esn &meid locations but didn't write the esn down :( . Any guidance from here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
once you write the MEID, I have always had it write the ESN for me, I have never had to restore the ESN personally. But there is a website out there that will figure out your ESN based off of your MEID. google it cause I do not remember the name of it off of the top of my head.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvJoe585:
Yes, I was working with different software than I usually use. But yes I found a meid converter early. I now know my esn and will try to do it manually the way I stated above.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvJoe585:
Problem resolved, everything is now running smooth, thanks again to the few who actually responded to my post.
[Atrix 4G General] bigbrown:
I switched from Moto Photon 4G on Sprint to Atrix 4G on Straight Talk. Even though the hardware is 99% the same, Atrix feels noticeably smoother. On the Photon I used the Rocko Rom and CM9 alphas.
[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
I think the atrix has more ram. I may be mistaken
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
I like the 1930mah battery of the atrix
[Atrix 4G General] Cusa:
Both have 1GB of ram.
[Atrix 4G General] paravorheim:
The Photon has a full RGB screen, so it actually looks a bit better compared to our Pentile. But in pretty much everything else the Atrix wins, albeit by a small margin since they're essentially the same phones.
[Atrix 4G General] Pbwizkid:
Am i wrong or isnt the big difference not in the amount of the ram in the two but the speed of the ram. If i remember right (someone is welcome to do the searching to correct me if i am wrong lol) the atrix has actuall desktop RAM. I want to say DDR2. and the photon does not?
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
1880mAh :D look on the battery itself.
[Atrix 4G General] TravisAntonio:
AT&T Version has 1930mAh I checked it myself, is the best battery, I can get like two days using the phone with (CM9 Joker)
[Atrix 4G General] nunjabusiness:
Mine too. Great life using Juice Defender.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
I'm gonna disagree that the Photon screen is better than the Atrix.

The first time I saw the Photon,I immediately notice a faint array of dots over the screen,I presume they are from the digitizer, but they are really annoying and distracting!

I love the pixel density of the Atrix and finger print scanner!

The only "advantage" of the Photon over the Atrix is the out of the box landscape hdmi mirror capability. But that is now possible on the Atrix through a simple hack.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] red12355:
The Photon has a pentile screen as well. See anandtech's review.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Photon has a bigger but lower PPI display (4.3" vs 4") and a higher resolution camera (8mp vs 5mp) as well as the obvious CDMA support.

Otherwise, they're the exact same phone. Case in point, some Blur roms for one device can be flashed on the other (with a few things borked, but it boots) and current CM9 roms have developers using a common code base for both devices. If the Atrix feels faster, its either because Motorola has some tweak in blur between the two devices or a placebo effect.

I can't post in bootloader dev thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328714&page=28 so I'll post here to ask the question.

This was brought up:

So I checked mine and got this:

Boot mode selection menu (0A.65)

press volume up/down blah blah

normal powerup

recovery

apfastboot

bp tools

I got this from holding vol up/down and then holding power until this screen came on. So..... is this locked or unlocked? I don't have the (S) that everyone else is saying. Can someone let me know?
[Motorola Atrix 2] mkrunk12:
I was in the same position after I flashed the FXZ got the same screen. I chosse BP Tools and my phone booted up and I hope it works for you!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You are still locked.... We have not found an atrix2 with an unlocked bootloader yet. And there are not any "developer" edition phones with the unlocked bootloader that we can copy it from, since they don't have them for this phone (I have tried very hard to get one, and can't find them).
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mtn Dew:
thanks for the heads up. I was hoping since I didn't see the (s) that I would get lucky.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Thats just the first screen. Go into the AP Fastboot menu option and you will see the other screen that was mentioned.

ok, I see now. crap. LOL thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
I just bought the LG OPTIMUS LTE (aka NITRO HD), i would like to install a 32Gig MICROSD but i am not sure up to what class i can put in.

Will a CLASS 10 MICROSD card work?

If it works but only acts as a CLASS 4 then i will buy a CLASS 4 (cheaper) instead of paying a higher price for a CLASS 10.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
class 10 works fine and will have speeds of a class 10. Be sure to get a good brand like samsung since some class 10 drives sacrifice small file performance (just as important as max sustained speed) to get the high transfer speeds.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
thanks, greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
I run a pure ICS ROM, with all the Samsung apps and addons removed.

But I still have a 500Mb partition mounted under "/preload". Samsung stuff.

This renders 500Mb of RAM useless since the "pure" ICS does not store anything there. This could be used for /data instead.

Now, can anyone point me to a .pit file I can use that does not have that partition included, or better still, how do I edit or create my own .pit file. I tried fdisk but with no luck.

[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
You shouldn't be trying to mess with PIT. Believe me.

Also, you misspelled Storage. That's not RAM.
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Sorry, storage ofcourse.

My basic plan was to just backup /data, remove the /preload & /data partition and recreate /data with a size of 2.5Gb. But nooo... fdisk does not want me to do this.

Been using Linux for 15 years so I thought that would work.

Are there no recoveries with partitioning tools out there? Like CWM but not only with sdcard-partitioning.

This kind of worries me too, it seldom is good... fdisk output:

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1923584.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
Let me explain it straight : Bootloader and PIT are tightly linked together. PIT is set by samsung and mapped directly to the bootloader initialization. If you bork the PIT, the bootloader is borked too, leading to device not booting at all (even in download mode).

Just leave that partition alone and enjoy your phone. You certainly won't even use those 500MB.

And by the way, a phone's storage partitionning is not a hard drive. You don't just fdisk like on a computer.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
If it were that easy, someone would have done it already. ;) I suggest just symlinking the partition to a folder if you really want to use the extra space... If you're adventurous, find a way of using it for Dalvik. :P
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Thanks for a great answer. Case closed I guess. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
I moved dalvik there by soft linking it and so far everything seems to work fine.

After a reboot the filesystem is mountrd RO. Not quite sure where to change that. Something like /etc/fstab.... Anyone?

EDIT: Found it, init.rc....
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
OK, next dumb question, as the init.rc gets overwritten on reboot, where is the original?
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
I believe it's in initramfs packed with the kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
OK, that sucks since I cannot recompile it.

I solved it by a script in /system/etc/init.d/ , its an ugly 5-minuter but it does the job.

Works on every reboot, if the dalvik is already moved nothing happens, I just get some stderr. Takes a few seconds the first time.

Will extend tomorrow if a "wipe dalvik-cache" is done from recovery. It wont handle that right now.

----- script -----

mount /preload -o remount,rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc

chmod 0771 /preload

mv /data/dalvik-cache /preload/

ln -s /preload/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

----- script -----

Ahh, no more wasted space! :D

Well,all this is nice and you have my respect for being fearless with these matters,but some months ago there was another interesting idea for the proper use of the hidden partition.A hidden porn stash.Works like a charm. :p

I don't remember who proposed that,but kudos to him. :D
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
OK, can someone explain to me how to build a CWM flashable .zip with the new zImage?

Been searching forum for 2 hours and I can only find how to build application zips, not kernel...

It should also prefferably have a script in it that runs the following after updating the kernel/boot.img

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /preload/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

Flash with mobile odin
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
There only seems to be a Mobile Odin pay-version on market from Chainfire. No prob for me but I'd like a .zip to redistribute.

I managed to flash it with CWM trough restore by copying boot.img and generating new md5sum.

Phone boots and /preload is mounted with correct parameters ans so on.

I do have two issues left right now.

1. init.rc does not run my "rm -rf" and "ln -s" commands. Tried both pure and "exec rm" and "exec /sbin/busybox rm". Thats why I need a zip with an script, unless someone has a solution for the init.rc script execution.

2. dont know how to make a flashable zip. noob :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Caustic68:
There is a free version of mobile Odin on xda. I tried it before paying for it. Gotta give love to chainfire for giving the option.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
http://androidforums.com/transform-ultra-all-things-root/490385-info-cwm-flashable-zip.html

If you want a good example of using .sh scripts to execute commands, I suggest looking at the surgeon structure from the Hyperdroid ROM... They use VRTheme which runs an sh script through the edify script, so you can do what you need through the CWM zip file and then repack the zImage with the access change on the preload partition.

***edit*** And clearing dalvik in CWM will not work anymore after this mod unless you mod CWM to symlink dalvik to preload
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Very good input, thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
I give up.

All I find is making update.zips for filesystem changes and bundling apk. Nothing for how to push boot.img/kernel from a update.zip !!!! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Dump zImage in root of zip file, add this to your edify script:

assert(package_extract_file("zImage", "/tmp/zImage"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/zImage", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"),

delete("/tmp/zImage"));

**edit** you can do the same with boot.img instead of zImage I believe. Don't give up too quickly, there's TONS of information out there. For example, all you could have done to get this information on how to flash a kernel would have been downloading a ZIP file from one of the kernel threads and viewing their updater-script
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Thanks man, will keep trying :)

Dont know yet if the ramdisk approach is the way to go. It would screw upp new installs. Perhaps better do just stick with a simple script after boot...

Well anyhow, I learned a lot already!
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Have not managed to get the update.zip stuff working but I'll get that later, perhaps. If someone wants to pick up here, be my guest.

So, this moves the dalvik-cache from /data to /preload. !!!!! For PURE ICS only, wipes Samsung apps in /preload. !!!!

Two components: Kernel and S99dalvik2preload (goes in /system/etc/init.d). Make sure to "chmod +x" on it.

The kernel is untouched but the init.rc script on initramdisk is modded to mount /preload with same prefs as /data normaly has. And also in RW from start :)

Was thinking about dropping the init.rc stuff in ramdisk but I managed to get into some crap if the script managed the remount and was accidently removed or did not run. The /preload mounted RO and if dalvik was there already, sometimes interesting stuff happened :)

Kernel is SGS2-CF-Root-XXLPH (from Spike_M's Pure ICS 6.0/6.1/SE).

After installation wiping dalvik-cache from CWM actually works just fine and it rebuilds on first boot just as it should.

Try it if you like, and thanks for all the help everyone! This was interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Download any kernel CWM zip from the forum, and replace the zImage with yours. Will work :)
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
OK, so finally then. :p A CWM flashable ZIP.

Thanks for all the input!

Managed to both get the file copied and the kernel flashed ;-)

[Galaxy S II General] Phat7:
This is supergreat! Let's hope Spike_M includes this in the next update of his excellent rom :)

One question: Will this zip update mess up my current set up in any way? I.e. will it wipe data or anything else? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
No, it does not wipe or format anything.

It just replaces some lines in the init.rc (in ramdisk, thats why kernel needs updating) and copies a script to /system/etc/init.d.

Phone will reboot once and then Dalvik is rebuilt on /preload/dalvik-cache.

EDIT:

Will post a new thread in the Dev forum. May be usefull to someone else too.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
One question.What will happen once /preload is full?I don't know how big dalvik cache is,but I already have about 300 apps on my phone and it's surely going to be big.
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Well then you are ****ed! :eek:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 503.9M 110.2M 393.8M 22% /preload

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 2.0G 253.6M 1.7G 13% /data

Have no idea what will happen but nothing major i guess.

300 apps! WOW. How large is your /data/dalvik-cache directory now?
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Yeah,300 apps.You see,I'm suffering from a rare disorder lately,called I-download-every-****-I-see.The number of apps will eventually decrease. :p

Anyway,to my big surprise,/data/dalvik-cache is only 247.96mb.So I guess that your trick is ok with extreme cases like me too.Good work mate. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bodhisattva99:
Haha! :D

Yes I know, there's lot of **** out there to download. Not only you may suffer from this disorder... :)

If it's only 250mb in your case then we are quite safe with this mod.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
If your dalvik is full, all it'll do is say insufficient storage when you install an app. I have the same situation you have (I do have 2GB of appspace, why not waste it?) and my dalvik is pretty much like yours. So unless we get to 600 apps, our dalvik will never run out of space. ;)

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Glad you got this running. ;) I've been saying we should use that space for Dalvik for months, but noone listens. ;) hahaha.

Last question, what did you do to modify your init.rc? I'd wanna do it on redpill kernel and get it integrated into our GB ROM also!
