can somebody help me?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgreene1014:
can you explain what you mean by flashing it to boost? When a phone is rooted you dont have to flash a custom ROM but normally that is the reason for rooting it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kus5h.bo55:
oh its because my phone is flash to boostmobile its not sprint... and im wondering if i root the phone is it still gonna be boostmobile?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwalk74:
Yes it will retain the flash. Mine is also on boost right now. I have flashed it like crazy, done just about all u can do to it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2cervin:
You shouldnt have a problem with flashing it. I had mine converted and dont have any issues with rooting it. I've done it several times without any issues.

However, are any of you guys having problems with error messages? I've gotten the 'message 16' error that was easily fixed, but now I am getting the 'message 5 switch 787' and have no clue what to do?

[General Questions and Answers] rbgCODE:
I have a bunch of phones laying around and I was just playing with bugless beast on the droid one and I think that is a highly underrated rom, very fast and really really stable.

I just grabbed a droid 2, what are some of the faster more stable roms for it. I dont want something bloated cyanogen I want quick and peppy, and if I need something installed I could install it myself?:confused:

Why dont you just search on youtube to get video tutorials on some of the roms.Theres many roms for the OG droids.:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icrazy2u:
My last ROM had it so the volume rocker could be used to power the phone on, and I downloaded a app to turn the screen off. I do this cause my power button on the DINC crapped out. But the ROM I'm on now doesn't have that feature (Anthem 3D). I just wanted to know is there a universal download for all ROMs so I can have the volume rocker my new screen on? Cause my optical pad takes a couple presses to turn the screen on too.
[Droid 2 Global General] winoz:
This is the new OTA update of droid 2 global.
[Droid 2 Global General] projektorboy:
No known official root method is out at the moment. In the meantime you can try SuperOneClick or MotoFail
[Droid 2 Global General] bakeyman:
Seemingly does not work, but to no avail motofail
[Droid 2 Global General] barbaroja:
so I m guessing you HAD root, and lost it after updating? Can you confirm this?
[Droid 2 Global General] barbaroja:
The phone is asking constantly to update. It just releases a timer that, if you are not watching it, will update without user consent. I disabled background data to no avail.

Is there any way to block the phone from installing the OTA automatically? I really prefer having root than to update.
[Droid 2 Global General] UberSteiner:
XT311 3.2.4 Almost cracked it !! ??

I'm New around here and would love to get this sorted for the XT311. I got mine today and spent 6hrs trying all sorts.. Im a unix boy.... Old school and kinda liked getting back into it.. Ok i have some info

''The ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb property is a Motorola-specific configuration that prevents ADB from dropping its root privileges. Reboot the device one final time, and on logging in with “adb shell”, you should be presented with a root prompt''

Is this specific param our problem on Motorola device and not completing for all the same reasons.. All these root tools are failaing over the same lame Mount issue...

Im on SuperOneClick and the Exploit Pluggin for Motofail lol...

Hope we get the 311 rooted again soon.... those infamous Jap files are hard to track .....
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
The list of files responsible for OTA updates:

/system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk

/system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex

/system/etc/security/otacerts.zip
[Droid 2 Global General] UberSteiner:
Got it rooted !!

Model: Moto XT311

Ver: UK Motorola 'Fire'

Running: v2.3.4

Kernel: Apps_2.6.32.9

Build Number: 4_40C_4067

Here is how i did it to the letter... Even at times i questioned the sequence but it worked.. These instructions are formulated from various sources.. Before you begin unzip the main Zip file I have uploaded and then unzip all the contained zips to one folder. Call the folder Root and put it on your main drive ie(C:/). Ensure that the infamous FXX_PR3_NV.xml is in the root folder..

INSTRUCTIONS:-

Before Rooting:

Prepare your phone by doing the following:

- Go to Settings > Applications > CHECK "Unknown Sources"

- Go to Settings > Applications > Developer > CHECK "USB Debugging" and "Stay Awake"

- Connect your phone via USB, when prompted DO NOT select USB Mass Storage.

1. download and UN-compress all files. on your phone, choose application setting->development->enable "USB debugging", then connect your phone with your pc with USB cable and install driver automatically.

2. install SUT1.75 & RSD LiTE by Motorola which include drivers.

3. Run SUT1.75, choose FXX_PR3_NV.xml. Make sure you select file open option XML from drop down in file open menu.

4. Run cmd > adb shell (if your ROOT folder is located in c:\, then change directly to c:\ROOT, type adb shell), wait untill "#" appear, then you can minimise the cmd window.

5. Open RootD3 folder, run RootD3_zhCN.cmd,

Phone will reboot 3 times. After the 1st reboot, please check if the 2nd reboot starts automatically, if not, unplug the USB cable and plug it again, Goto step 5 again and complete when the 3rd reboot is done.

6. Go into SuperOneClick folder, run SuperOneClick.exe, press Root.

Force a connection with USB drivers. The software will automaticaly do this. The program will now executed and run with NO ERRORS.

After it says it is completed, check if you have the Skull Android icon ( Get SUuperUser APP) Now look in the menu, if Confirmed, your phone has been rooted.

I can't upload any files or provide links as im new round here..

I HAVE ALL FILES/SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR THIS PROCEDURE !!!

Hack build.prop

I'm trying to prevent this update OTA currently.

Is there a way to modify build.prop to trick the phone in to thinking it has already been updated?

Perhaps if someone who has had the update can post their build.prop we can figure out which properties have changed.
[Droid 2 Global General] hd2life:
If you edit build.prop phone cant update. All i did was change 0 to 1 so I can have 5 bars for gsm signal and it didn't want to finish the update.

TO STOP AUTO UPDATES

Remove SystemUpdater.apk from /system/app. From terminal (with ADB)

adb pull /system/app/SystemUpdater.apk C:/Path/to/your/desktop //Backup the file (just in case)
adb remount //Remount the system partition to read-write
adb shell rm /system/app/SystemUpdater.apk //Remove the apk

Warning - this will permanently disable system updates, until you push SystemUpdater back to /system/app

OR If your running different motorola look in the app for Updaters

adb pull /system/app/Upgrader.apk C:/Path/to/your/desktop //Backup the file (just in case)
adb remount //Remount the system partition to read-write
adb shell rm /system/app/Upgrader.apk //Remove the apk

This is MotoIII example..

Hope this helps....
[Droid 2 Global General] barbaroja:
Well I figured myself how to prevent the phone from upgrading. In fact it was easy.

1. You need titanium backup.

2. Freeze "upgrader" app.

3. Wipe its data. If you do not wipe, the order remains alive (in my case it already had started to download) and is taken by the downloader and it will continue to download and update the phone.

Thats it. Hope it helps.

It seems its similar to the solution above, only without involving adb.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:

[Droid 2 Global General] pjhoody:
bummer that there's no way to SBF back. My device auto-updated on me.
[Droid 2 Global General] Nooka Nooka:
i'm assuming that none of this matters if you're on a different rom. i'm using miui so my phone won't auto update right?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Custom ROMs naturally do not support VZW's OTA update mechanism as they're incompatible.

Stock ROM with /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk renamed also doesn't.

Stock ROM with CWM installed or bloatware frozen is incompatible with the update, however the phone will download and try to install it, only to fail and repeat that again 2 hours later.
[Droid 2 Global General] luciusvorenus:
Tried freezing 'Upgrader'

I tried freezing 'Upgrader' from titanium backup and wiping the data - this did not work for me.

The update was still downloaded. It has, however, not yet been installed.

Can anyone help me to

1. remove the download before it installs.

2. block this OTA upgrade after removal

I'd appreciate the help to prevent this thing from being unrooted.

Thanks
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
The update is downloaded to /cache. You can delete it from there.

To disable automatic updates, rename the following files:

/system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk

/system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex

/system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

by adding .bak on the end of their names.
[Droid 2 Global General] luciusvorenus:
Thanks a bunch. I've renamed the files.

Didn't find anything that I should delete from /cache.

I guess it didn't download?

I have .zip and .crc files for Blur_version.4.5.608.A956.Verizon.en.US which was the OTA update in the last quarter of 2011 so I've let those be.

I haven't seen a message so far since the renaming. :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
This file you just mentioned is 4.5.629, not 4.5.608. The file name refers to the firmware version it installs over.
[Droid 2 Global General] lonndoggie:
Thanks for posting this.

My wife's D2G is rooted/stock, except I'd frozen a bunch of bloatware. The update downloaded but, as you'd said, wouldn't install. Yay. But the prompts to update kept coming. Boo.

Being both lazy and a minimalist, I tried renaming just the apk above. That didn't stop the reminders. So I renamed the odex file (because at the time I didn't remember the name of the third file, and, like I said, I'm lazy). That seems to be enough to have stopped the reminders.

Will keep watching for a bona-fide proven method to get updated and re-rooted.

Also curious about the reports from stock users who claim the update bricked their phones.
[Droid 2 Global General] barbaroja:
Sorry about that. It seemed to work at first, then it did download the file.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Freezing doesn't really work. Renaming the app package I mentioned above definitely does.
[Droid 2 Global General] luciusvorenus:
Looks good

No problem barbaroja. It all worked out.

Thanks Gasai. I've deleted the download as well.

No nags all day today since the rename yesterday.

So maybe I'm having a major brain.Gary and missing it someplace but can you not change the shortcut icons on the lock screen? Also, is the face unlock only a Nexus option or an ICS feature?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
Face unlock works great for me:) I set time out to imediatly if that helps at all?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shackman716:
hahahaha I swear to GOD it wasnt there when i checked the first time...

any thoughts on the changing of the lock screen icons?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Yes, set it to immediately then it will ask for face or pattern unlock immediately after screen off.

The lock screen icons are the 4 shortcuts you have from the home screen shortcuts. Currently they are one and the same, and you cannot have a separate set for the lock screen.

[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Well I just realized today that the beats audio port I installed didn't actually install so I copied the files to my sdCard and decided to import them manually. Now after I did a reboot since I noticed my signal was 1x which only happens on super rare occasions at my house. But now I can no longer get into the phone so I'm gonna restore a backup. Anybody else notice any problems with Beats Audio?

Just went to restore a backup and says no files are there. Thankfully I keep my backups on my computer as well as my phone just in case.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Didn't have that happen to me but we did find out that when flashing the Beats mod, you have mount /system in recovery before flashing.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Which file did you use? So I can try again and see if it works.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Look at the last page of the Beats thread. I posted a zip file that mounts /system for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Will_nonya:
Ok, so my wife has an Infuse and she's experiencing frequent force closes related to the Google services framework. I've dug through several threads mentioning force closes of the framework and tried most of the suggested fixes. The only thing I've stumbled upon that makes a difference is removing the latest market update. This solves the problem until the market updates itself again.

I'm assuming this us because its not completely compatible with her outdated stock ROM.

So the point here is can i prevent the market from updating without root? Has anyone else had this problem with their Infuse?

Normally i don't root her phones but with all of the issues related to trying the get an official update, which still hasn't arrived, she is warming to the idea of a custom ROM. I don't follow the Infuse forum enough to know which ROMs are out there so if anyone has suggestions for a fast, stable ROM that also has Touchwiz I would appreciate it, especially if i cant sort this out in the current ROM. At least until i can get her sold on CM...

Anyway thanks for reading and i appreciate any suggestions.

And Vagabound would be great if she's looking for stock. She might cry though, with all the bloat and battery draining apps that she is missing. Also, if she says that her wifi is dropping, set your router's dchp (whatever it is) to one week instead of forever.. and....... I think that should do you. I would tell you where the thanks is, but based on your account, you look like you know where it is. ;)

I have to say thanks again to Erik_t, qkster and gtg465x. I don't work with too many Samsung devices so it would have been easy to miss something importand but the help and resources you provided made this quick and easy. My Mrs is now very happy with her new ROM and with the improved battery life and performance.

Most of the process was pretty standard but I had to read the rooting instructions a few times to make sure I wasn't missing anything, it was just simpler than I'm used too. :).

She is now a happy Vagabond user, the stars have aligned and domestic bliss reigns supreme. Thanks.

hey\

i just installed playstore from an apk file found at the xda site and Im running google yakju so,, my question is - when i go to settings Apps, it shows as downloaded ' Google Playstore uninstalled updates' will it go back to market'? If i press' uninstalled update' will it go back to market 3.4.4? or will i mess up something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It'll probably go back to 3.4.4 w/o issues, but why would you do that? It's just going to auto-install again.

It's a bigger hassle to uninstall and block updates than just let it be. Embrace change. Everything is being rebranded, you might as well let the Play Store do its thing.

So umm, I see a lot of people talking about "changing the launcher". But I do not know what a launcher is. I see it in my settings (running MIUI on my Infuse 4G).

So my question, and yes I know I probably sound like a knowledgeless-fool. But, what is a launcher?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faiz Malkani:
A launcher is an interface replacement that gives u a new home screen and app drawer. U can customize it a lot according to ur choice

Best are go launcher, adw and launcher pro

I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Sent from my Blade
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeTaco:
Like ICS said, a launcher changes your homescreen and appdrawer, making it prettier and sometimes even more useful. I haven't used MIUI personally. Maybe it comes with a launcher, and maybe it has some features that a new launcher would duplicate. I know CM7 comes with ADW Launcher.

My favourite things about LauncherPro: First, you can change the homescreen grid size. Second, you can swipe between multiple docks. You can make dock icons link to activities, not just applications. And you can assign different shortcuts for swiping a dock icon. So if I press the phone icon, it goes to the dialer; if I swipe it, it goes to the call log. Plus any launcher is going to be prettier than stock, but MIUI is beautiful itself.

There's no harm in trying out a couple of different launchers. I prefer LP, others prefer Go or ADW. I know Go and ADW are much more theme-able. The only thing is that with a rom like MIUI that already looks good, a new launcher might look out of place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
Launcher is the bit you see and use when your not running an app or making a phone call.

You can change it easily by going to the android market and downloading a new one like nemus launcher or go launcher ex.

Once downloaded they will auto install. You can try the new launcher without changing your current one by pressing phones home button.

Menu pops up asking which launcher to use, choose the name of the new one and try it out.

If you want to keep it press home again but before choosing new launcher this time tick the box it shows saying "use as default launcher".

If you don't like it just do the same with the tick but choose your original launcher instead.

Dave
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA Pilot:
I.. do not understand.. So it is like a theme?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faiz Malkani:
Not exactly. It's a replacement.

For example, suppose ur running the stock eclair with the slide up vertical app drawer

Now, u want a button to launch the drawer., and u want it to be horizontal. How will u do it?

Enter Launchers

It replaces the drawer with its own, and its own dock bar

In short, it is not a theme, but a replacement that CAN BE THEMED
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GladiatoRiley:
You know Sense, AOSP and Touchwhiz? Well they are default "Launchers"

Launchers can be downloaded from the market w/o root.

They are like a different style of homescreen...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monokoi:
The launcher is the programm you use to launch or start an app on your phone. The launchers UI (User Interface) is what you see as your home screen. Changing the launchers behaviour means changing the way icons are displayed or the pages flip. It lets you customize the way your phones OS feels and looks.

Does this answer your initial question?

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faiz Malkani:
