[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmllai:
Guys,I got a problem when I was downgrading my Desire Z using this guide(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912). Since I'm a new member,I cannot post in that post.

The problem is:

When I enter this code:

# ./flashgc

I got this code:

./flashgc

./flashgc: permission denied

So,can anyone PLEASE help me?I will be very thankful!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
there could be a whole bunch of reasons why thats happening. You didn't push it properly, you aren't in the right dir, you didn't chmod it, etc.

So it would be helpful if you pasted everything in your cmd/terminal

waiting for device

Hello XDA,

i post my question in here, because it refers to the same guide. Everything worked fine, untill the last step of the fastboot part. After entering "> fastboot-mac flash zip StockRom.zip" the terminal says "waiting for device" for an hour now, and the phone still shows the grey htc logo.

I use mac osx, and my phone was up to date.

What went wrong? Most important, how do i interrupt this process, without damaging the device?

thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] becksor:
next morning

UPDATE:

I left everything as it was. This morning nothing happend in Terminal, phone was turned off. After starting it, still android 2.3.3, no changes as far as i see.

Still: What went wrong, and if i try again, how can i interrupt "waiting for device" if i try again, and don't have time to wait for hours.

UPDATE II:

Tried "Manual Downgrade"-Method. I am froyo now. Thanks for letting me post this little monologue ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
No idea what went wrong, could be a permission issue. Try running fastboot as root?

As for interrupting it, so long as its just on 'waiting for device' its not actually doing much, so you can hit ctrl + c in terminal to halt it.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
not sure but when i type <fastboot - windows .....> or whatever that wont work for me. anything i have ever done in fastboot has started like <fastboot -w> or <fastboot flash> never <fastboot-windows oem flash or whatever>

maybe next time (if there is) drop the "-mac" ?

just a thought
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Setherio made a guide which used fastboot, but made it universal so renamed the fastboot binaries according to which OS they are made for.

The fact he has 'fastboot-mac' instead of just 'fastboot' makes no difference at all.

I am currently running MIUI version 112090 and the tom tells me to upgrade to version 112300. I would normally do so but people on the forums have not mentioned this new version yet, so I am hesitant to install it. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
that version is not stable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
True. The version you're using was the last stable version of MIUI for the DInc2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcpu:
I have a captivate with a broken USB port. No cable works, and it won't charge. However, other than that, it works fine. So I was going to make it an MP3 player, but of course, powering it is an issue.

So I was thinking that if there was some way to get a little power supply and wire it right to the battery contacts, it could just sit there running off wall power all the time.

Voltage isn't much of a problem, but does anybody know how to figure out the pad layout for the contacts?

Anybody done anything like this?

Thanks for any help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
get it fixed for like 35 buck link in my sig for connexion2005
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcpu:
Thanks for the info. I did google a few places, but most wanted 75-95 bucks to fix it, and that just wasn't worth it for my needs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
$35 in my sig. you should do it. I had to :D and it was well worth it :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
The desktop dock will charge the battery independently from the phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capefearless:
There are a number of chargers available on Ebay that can charge the battery outside the phone. I think I paid about ten bucks and got one with an extra battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcpu:
Yeah, that's what I'm currently using. I just wanted to have it permanently wired for power. But fixing the charging port seems to be the simplest solution.

One advantage of wiring it directly would be to avoid the pigtail hanging out the top of the phone, but I may use the samsung dock once I get the port fixed, and that eliminates that problem...

Thanks again. (Of course, the other problem is that I can't flash anything to the phone unless I can download and flash it from cwm, since usb connectivity is completely shot).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoVeRice:
and i was wondering if reflashing rom removes my device from being blocked? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
Im really bummed at the performance of the live wallpapers on this phone. It seems that only the default phase beam LWP works perfectly smoothly on the phone but everything else like the nexus and microbes will lag up the home screens. 3rd party LWPs dont perform any better too. Nevermind the SGS2, i dont even remember the Nexus S performing like this at all. Is this some poor optimisation by google or is it the Gnex's hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Because phase beam doesn't scroll when swiping screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
There are also LWPs that don't scroll but also lag, some times worse. Do scrollable wallpapers really have that much of a performance hit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Phase beam does bring a tad lag - noticeable when opening the app drawer. The scrollable effect does seem to hit performance for some reason. My HTC desire HD behaved the same but my galaxy s 2 did not. I'm guessing its just the gpu cannot handle it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
GPU just can't handle the wallpapers that came pre installed on the phone...

Ohhh Google.

Sent from the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
nobody knows why, but it seems to be some optimization that google didnt do and needs to fix in update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It has been a pretty common subject that live walls blow for performance anyway on most Android devices. It has been that way since their inception.

Bring up the GS2 all you want. I played with it in Best Buy (the ATT non-LTE one) and was not impressed. I even rebooted it ;) There was still a performance hit, just less.

If it ran at 720p, the impact would be magnified.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Not....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Intelligent response. I could point out that it was I who handled the device, and it is I who saw the performance. Not you.

All you can say is not?

LOL....maybe your standards are lower than mine. If someone says to me that there is no performance hit, then it should be identical from static to live walls. It was not. It was acceptable, but it was not the same. Now run it at 720p. That performance difference would increase considerably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
They just need a fps increase...Google slacked and didn't do it for gingerbread lwp on ics...

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I used to own a gs2. The performance of that phone surpasses everything I've seen so far for android. Even if the mali400 was rendering a higher resolution it would still blow the sgx540 outta the water. I ran ics on the sgs2 and it was not laggy at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Discrete gpu ram anybody?

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
I agree the i9100 I had was a lot faster
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It was also lower resolution, so of course it was....and I never said it wasn't faster. If anyone thinks I claimed differently, please re-read. I said there is a performance hit, regardless of device. That performance hit increases with resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
But you're still slightly wrong. The sgs2 had no performance hit with live wallpapers. Ask anyone in the sgs2 section. I'm assuming were talking about the same sgs2 (the one with an exynos and mali400 gpu). The ****rocket on att was not a contender to the i9100 or i777.

The mali400 can handle higher resolutions better than sgx540 as its apparent on the galaxy note. I'm really unsure as to why you can't accept this fact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Delete please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Like I said, your standards are lower than mine. There is a hit. If you can't see it, then you have lower standards. There is always a hit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Whatever dude. I'm the most nit picky person you'll ever meet and I'm 110% positive I have much higher standards than you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am 100% sure (there is no such thing more than completely positive, so good luck with 110%) that you have no way to quantify that statement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I am 100% sure that you're a ****. Evidently you have zero common sense because it was a figure of speech to make a point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
The sgs2 is not on ics....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Leaked roms are touchwiz...Samsung could've done what Google didn't so if you're running stock, the fps on most live wallpapers aren't fixed...at least thats what I understand ...how do they run on the nexus s? Particularly the microbes? That live wallpaper started with the nexus s, didn't it? I wonder...anyone know how that runs on that phone? With stock ics?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
There are cm9 builds for it as well. They all run like butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I thought i saw that those live wallpapers do run smooth on the nexus s. Its just a bug with our gn. I could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I've had CM9 on my I9100 since December 26th; sadly it lives in a box now. Should break it out and flash the latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
I'll try cm9 now....been meaning to try it! Will report back after testing!

Edit: were u referring to cm9 on the Nexus S?

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Me? GS2 if so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
I used to own the SGS2, it doesnt lag regardless of what live wallpaper i throw at it. But the nexus lags on literally every live wallpaper ive tried it on, even in cases where it should not. I dont believe its a GPU limitation, probably just optimisation on google's part?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
Had some time during the breakfast...

Here you guys have a SuperSU CWM flashable package that works on the CWM recoveries of the X8 - and will replace the default Superuser by ChainsDD

"su" goes into /system/xbin and "Superuser.apk" goes into /system/app

There's also an undo CWM ZIP attached that will restore ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary in case Chainfire's SuperSU doesn't work for you.

Tested to work on GingerDX v022 and v025 - try on other ROMs at your own risk.

EDIT:

- Link to the article on the XDA portal

- Link to Chainfire's SuperSU thread

- SuperSU for GingerDX on MediaFire
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] IntelliCell:
What exactly does it do?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
It's a "better than Superuser" solution. I added the links to the article on XDA's portal as well as to Chainfire's SuperSU thread ... just have a look.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] - Swift -:
Thanks B.Jay! :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] BIG JD:
Ya I have been useing this over 4 day is really good
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
Go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and try clearing the data cache of SuperSU.

I tried SuperSU on the cellphone of my step-daughter (GingerDX v022 on Alfs) and the only problem I have is that Titanium Backup gets stuck after obtaining super user privileges (already Allowed and Remembered).

All the other apps (Root Browser, "su" in the Terminal, ClockSync) work fine; no problems with Force Closes.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] hgoldner:
Root Explorer broken by this app on a Rezound running ICS. Uninstalling SuperSU breaks root (you might want to put a warning in it somewhere). And even after flashing your fix, and using Amon Ra to re-root (there is no CWM for Rezound), Superuser can't update its binary.

Got a fix? (Other than to reinstall before you do fix it?)

Thanks in advance. Might just have to restore last Nandroid.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
The UNDO CWM ZIP actually spills back ChainDD's Superuser ...

EDIT: And with a Rezound you seem to be in the entirely wrong forum section.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] hgoldner:
This appears to be only thread for app on xda; and the app was touted on Lifehacker today (and the Market, uh, er, Play doesn't say it doesn't run on the Rezound).

My problem is that I can't update the binary since uninstalling SuperSU. How can that be? I get an error "Failed to download manifest. Check internet connection." (Regardless of whether on LTE or wifi).

Interested in your suggestions.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
Well, if you can tell me into which directory the "su" binary is supposed to go I can create you a customized "undo" CWM ZIP.

The one attached above to the OP post copies "Superuser.apk" into /system/app (that much is the same on all Droids) and "su" into /system/xbin

If that matches with how it should be on the Rezound then simply flash the file - if "su" needs to be in /system/bin instead (or some other totally mind boggling location) tell me and I repack it for you.

On that note: There is a thread of Chainfire for SuperSU - this is just a repack of his CWM ZIP as it doesn't work on the X8
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] hgoldner:
Chatted with my ROM developer who said "leave su & binary alone," so Nandroided back to pre-SuperSU and we seem to be okay.

I like the concept, just can't run (yet). Thanks anyway.

I am, a bit sad for giving you a full working ROM. But i dont want to risk phone further as i flash my phone more than 70+ times within short span. I think a porter can do much on this i suppose. SO i urge Dev's to solve some Bug which i will be listing down.

Here by i present you highly optimized AOSP rom, also know as OXYGEN ROM to you. I am many (Not all) features of cyanogen MOD 7.1.

By downloading the ROM, you agree that i am not, in what ever way responsible if any harm caused to you phone, but trust me nothing happened to my phone ;).
