[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The problem is that there are so many "su.zip" files floating around, and people are just flashing them assuming that they will work.

This cwm-flashable zip works.

This is what the updater-script in the file I linked does:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/Superuser.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");
unmount("/system");

I puts su in /system/xbin and symlinks it to /system/bin which is (one of) the way it should be. (Alternatively, you could just put it in /system/bin, with no symlink). That's it, nothing more.

Once you have root, just install busybox from the market. You shouldn't have to mess around with symlinks. And when you have too many instances of su and busybox all symlinked all over the place, that's when problems start arising.

I want to use MILOCKER with my ICS ROM but I have s few problems. It doesn't always show up when I lock my phone and sometimes my phones won't even show a lockscreen it'll just turn back on. Also I can't use my own wallpaper or it will crash.... I'd upgrade to legit Miui but I really like ICS and its multitasking which miui will replace with its own UI (the miui Ics theme sucks). What can I do?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] akabadnews:
Seems to work but it shows up after the stock ICS lock screen, thus a double lock.

Kind of annoying. Even with No Lock it still does it. Strange.

I might revert to GB soon if Taine0 ever releases his themes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 18.4009:
So....I have decided to pick up another phone that has more options on it such as MIUI and CM9. What would you recommend? I love my SGII, just don't have the patients to wait for Samsung to drop the source. If it is anything like when I owned the Vibrant it is going to be a long wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Orginal galaxy s2, galaxy note, or galaxy nexus anything else would be a major downgrade.

[General Questions and Answers] nimin:
So I have a system update for my EVO, but I have it rooted with CWM. I'm thinking the only way to apply the update is stock recovery, but that seems to be hard to find. I was hoping I could apply the update using CWM just by browsing for it, but it's probably buried deep somewhere I can't easily get to.

I just read that I shouldn't apply OTA updates while rooted? That there's already a stock rom with latest updates I should just flash instead? (found it on the wiki)

What if the radio/wimax was new, would I have to download and apply them too?

What if I wanted to completely return to stock, stock recovery and S-ON? Nandroid doesn't contain stock recovery because I made nandroid using CWM :?
[HTC Inspire 4G] alousyhero:
Sorry to start a new thread, but I've searched for an answer and haven't found one.

I installed Ascension 1.0A7, followed the how-to, and scoured the forums.

After following all the instructions perfectly, I found that at random times, my phone reboots. It's happened as my screen sleeps, downloading an app, and wih my phone just sitting there.

Is there anything I can do to fix this. Also, just in case, I have tried reinstalling and it still does the same thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Ok, I will try to help you with a limited amount of information to go on...

My first impression would be to new code lines added to V7 that were sugessted by another member but are a major change in the build.prop.

If I were you, and im not, I would remove those lines of code since the rom ran fine for many builds without them.

Here are the lines added in V7

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0

ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

This is not a tested and verified solution, but I would start there. Also you could revert to V6 if you have a backup for it.

Please, Again, This Is My Opinion. You make these changes at your own risk. Backup your stuff!
[HTC Inspire 4G] alousyhero:
Yeah, sorry about the limited info, still relatively new to the scene. I'll try removing the lines and see if that works.

Thanks a ton!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Its an alpha, its going to have issues, and right now development is on hold. That is why the thread was closed. Sit tight for a few days until the dev comes back and lets us know what is going on. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Don Incognito:
This right here is a bad idea to edit this unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Clean install and don't mess with any cpu settings etc or restore anything from Titanium Backup. Just Don Incognito's opinion
[HTC Inspire 4G] alousyhero:
Thanks guys., I'll just wait like cwhitney said. It looks like an amazing ROM. Can't wait to use it fully.

I think I read somewhere it was going to have some features of Sense 4.0. Similar to older HTC phones getting Sense 3.0 features like the lockscreen but not receiving the full upgrade.

Alright, back on track. I'm gonna try the ruu again tonight. When I connect my Vivid to the pc, which mode do I select? HTC sync, charge only, or disk drive? Remember, I'm stock, locked, and not rooted
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I used charge only mode and it went without a hitch.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DownTheCross:
HTC sync is the recommended mode. But as long as "USB debugging" is enabled it should work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Booya! Finally got it updated! Gotta remember files like this need to be downloaded from my computer, not the phone, before being installed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ransack:
First time poster here, I have no experience rooting/flashing phones, but I used PG's RUU on my Vivid and on my girlfriend's Vivid, everything went flawlessly. Thanks a lot for your work and for everyone's support, it's really cool to be the only one in my area with ICS. Only one problem, every time I reboot my phone I get a message, "Android is upgrading", and something about optimizing my apps. It only takes a minute or two but it does it every time, and also on restart it asks for my time zone? Very minor problems though, I am very happy with the upgrade and thanks for everyone's expertise.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
From what I have gathered, it is normal for Android is upgrading to show up on reboots. I'm not sure about the time zone though. Keep in mind, the RUU is pre release beta, so I suggest that a bit of light reading and update to the OTA release. I'll list what you will have to do if you do want to update to the OTA version.

Since you did the RUU method, I'm assuming everything is bone stock at the moment.

Read the stickied post on how to these steps

unlock bootloader

flash recovery

flash kernel

in recovery, flash rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I think the 'Android is Upgrading' screen has something to do with fast boot in your settings.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
The general consensus is ICS will optimize applications every time Dalvik cache is wiped. So when restarting, or powering off, Dalvik should get wiped, and apps will be optimized. The only time it won't do this is if you have fastboot ticked, and you power down, then power back up (as this is when the power "fastboot" option is utilized). Even with fastboot ticked, when restarting it will still do this
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hradak:
hello All, new to the Vivid (just got one from Craigslist!) coming from the HTC HD2.

Red Triangle

I used the leak ICS update by typing the number in the vivid phone and I received the ICS update once the my VIVID which is rooted but no custom rom rebooted it froze and the red triangle screen appeared. Ok I decided to move the updated file from the internal cache folder to the root of the sdcard and try to install it via recovery mode and it would not take the update. I also noticed that the downloaded file was named holiday instead of vivid. I realize that there basically the same phone but maybe the build is different. At this point I guess I will wait for the ATT version but is anybody else having this problem. Thanks

A red triangle?

A few questions:

Does it still have a HTC white screen before it?

Can you VolDown + Power to HBOOT?

Can you run the RUU on the phone?

Is it responsive to ADB commands?

What exactly have you done up to this point?

If you answer NO to all of the first 4 questions, I'm sorry to say that you're most likely bricked.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
Once it rebooted with the red triangle I tried the volume and power option no luck. I then pulled the battery and copied the install file to the root of the sd card and tried installing from recovery mode it said the file had errors. I then downloaded the file again same problem. I am guessing this is not compatible with the Vivid because the file name is holiday other than that I am stumped. Once again my phone is rooted but still has the stock rom on it. Thanks Again

Also the phone is not bricked I am able to pull the battery and gingerbread reloads. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:

boost audio splast screen so I guess I got a good upgrade but I havent done anything to mine it is 100% stock i was waiting for this OTA before I did anything. 30 minutes till upload complete.

"congratulations your phone has been updated successfully to version 3.26.502.56.710RD"

and all my stuff is still on it and homescreens are still the same
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
I saw that but like i said if your rooted you had to un-lock the bootloader.The bootloader has to be locked to install the OTA update.

Im 99% sure.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
I wanted to let you know I think I have made some pretty big progress. Here's what I've done so far...

1. I went ahead and flashed the Stock ROM that's in the Dev Section.

2. Booted the phone up and went through the initial set up process.

3. Relocked the bootloader.

4. Booted back into the phone and did the code.

5. A box popped up that said I could monitor my download in the notification bar.

6. When it was done, I went ahead and chose install now.

It's now going through the install process. No idea on how long this will take. Hope this helps you out though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
Okay thanks for the info so I have lock bootloader to install the update and then go back and unlock the bootloader is that correct. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
That's correct.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
I don't know. But I wanted to be safe and that's what I did. And it worked. I am running ICS. I have unlocked the bootloader again and I'm trying to install CWM and Perm Root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
Yes you have to lock the bootloader to install the OTA update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russ9127:
Will there be a ruu to update from the "leaked" ruu to the final ics. Or will I have to flash back to stock as I don't really know how to do that.

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
Thanks

I appreciate all your help at least I know now what I need to do. I am not sure if the upgrade is worth the process does anybody know if there is a sticky somewhere on locking and unlocking the bootloader again and reapplying the root. I looked over at the development section but did not see any instructions. I would like to say to all of you folks I appreciate all of your help. Thanks Again
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:

I know it's a lot to ask, but could someone do a video on how to update to ICS coming from a stock HTC Vivid. I don't know much about HTC phones considering I have a Samsung Epic and we don't have a bootloader, and my friend really wants the update. He's worried he will screw up his phone though and even though I said it's harmless, he'd rather watch a video or just wait. He's on stock btw.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] || Acer ||:
Wait I'm a bit confused. Will this wipe all of his data?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
Yes!

It will not affect the sd card though.It will do a clean install of the ICS RUU Rom 4.0 Sense 3.6.

Its no different then downloading it from HTC and updating from your PC.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
It won't wipe the SD card but probably will the other stuff. Even if it didn't I would recommend wiping it. Think of it like this, remove the code names. Your going from Android 2.3 to 4.0. See the big jump there? You can't say positively all your apps, both user and system, will be compatible.

As far as my LTE experience went initially, my phone didn't want to play nice with the mobile network. I just called ATT tech support, they did their thing and it seems to be OK. I do realize I am saying this in haste so I'll get a better idea tomorrow while I'm out and about.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] || Acer ||:
So even if the OTA was pushed to everyone, people's apps would be wiped? That sounds a bit odd to me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
Yea pretty much.The phone is just like out of the box except with ICS 4.0 Sense 3.6.

All your downloaded apps are saved in the market.You just have to go download them again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
Why does that sound odd? Like I said, the change in OS is pretty big. Think of it like this, remember when Vista first came to the market? Drivers and software that was compatible was a mess. Not to say THIS is the case, just an exaggeration to illustrate my point.
