fired up my old dell dimension 2350 and installed linux on there. Had never used linux before; but I think I'll keep it around. Revolutionary actually went smoother on there than on my windows 7 machine.

It was a process. Make sure you read a lot ahead of time and have time to get it done. The guide is solid though and the people in the thread are very helpful. If you are OK w/ ADB, could learn linux quickly, are good at troubleshooting, and have patience I'd say go for it.

Getting it done feels great. My wife thought I was crazy
[HTC EVO 3D] piscesjoey:
Yeah just read and re-read if you're not sure, I was at first discouraged from trying it cuz of the Linux part, but when I actually got to it, it was very easy, I only had a problem at first finding the correct path to my Home folder in Ubuntu where I had the 2 files stored used for that part of the process

hey now the second part,

I got ruu, uubuntu, i just tried the steps as per the thread, i was on 2.17 permanent root.

you need to be complete stock or else you cant proceed in first step. this process need temp root.

temp root done first part completed sucessfully.

second part sucks seriously. bricking part, i was succeded on 12th time. lol I tried this on 2 evo 3d.

on both i succeeded 12th time.

i dont know, i guess some flag or anything like that. you need to try it as much you can.

now linux part, i am a layman in linux, getting terminal was difficult for me lol, it take me 15 minute to find terminal, my friend told me a shortcut ket ctr+alt+t.

now completed step as per thread.

As soon as i connected my phone to pc, ubuntu display got crashed, junk display. A big ****. output which is shown in thread was not seen, as display got crashed.

I thought, My evo was dead. but when i tried to boot in bootlaoder. It was like wtf, hboot 1.40.

removed battery, sd card, copied 1.13 rom and flash it. Yippie. I am on 1.40.

Here the mystery :- I just need hboot 1.40 to change my splash screen as it is having a dead pixel in lower middle side and which was annoying when i switch on the phone, it is clearly visible on white color, but not on other. I really want this phone to sell. LOL now i can sell it happily ;)

I have been reading xda for a while but never register or rooted. so for my first time trying to root imma try and do this and hopefully dont break my phone completely lol. question is: Do i still need to flash the 2.17 ruu after taco root coming from stock(no- root).

edit: guess i do need it in order to break it lol. now i have to search if i can put both ruu in one sd card and see if it let me pick which one to load haha
[HTC EVO 3D] king_89:
ruu

I created a folder on my sd card named it root from there copied the rom.zip for the 2.17 ruu but for some reason, it wont detect it when its time to brick my phone lol. Can any1 help plz
[HTC EVO 3D] nate.spangler:
By root of sd card it means in no folder, so when you explore the sd... There! Not in any folder

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

It took me ages to do it but only cause it was my first root and made noobs mistakes like making a root folder n so on but xcperfmreality helped me a lot with those noob mistakes and it helps to read the entire post because i only made noobs mistakes others didnt make lol but im on hboot 1.4 now bout to flash my first rom its a lotta pages in the thread but it save time with possible mistakes in the long run. Good luck if you try this
[HTC EVO 3D] cash525:
Finished downgrage yesterday. Not knowing what ubuntu even was, had to be the hardest part for me. Installing that was. Bricked on first try. Also couldn't change mainover on first HTC unlock. So I relocked and used zergrush. Worked like a charm. Also last step of running ruu, I had to run exe from fastboot cause it wouldn't read update with pg86img method. Really fun process though out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carfreak715:
i am using a stock, unrooted Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.2 with a locked bootloader. i am getting some serious choppiness just between system menus and simple tasks. even the home screen is choppy when scrolling and when pressing the home button to go to the default screen. i have tried everything i can think of to make it a bit quicker, like clearing cache and even removing widgets and such. i have Juice Defender, Android Assistant, and a battery meter running continuously, that's it. everything is all stock including the home launcher. i have been waiting for the OTA to 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 but im not getting any official information on when it is going to the LTE Nexus, and im growing tired of the lag. Does anybody have any ideas on how to help? is anyone else experiencing this? any relavent information will help.

Thanks beforehand,

Jared
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miguel11691:
Unlock your bootloader root your device and install cwm recovery using the tool kit in the development section... then install the aokp m4 rom with the latest Franco kernel... like butter after that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Try uninstalling juice defender for a bit. Also if you're using a task killer turn off auto kill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Agree with uninstall JD, it has not worked properly for me on GN. As far as a task killer, if you have one installed you should just uninstall it all together. You do not need a task killer on ICS/GN!

I have seen several posts about this lagging and chopping, but dont really remember it from 2.0.2, at least not to the extent of what others are posting, I had some on the keyboard and on SMS. Update to 4.0.4. I installed it very quickly and have NOT had any lagging or chopping. Also, install Spare Parts, set transitions and other settings to "fast".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carfreak715:
OK, uninstalled Juice Defender, I had issues with it because it wouldn't turn Wi-Fi back on when the screen went on. Also, I'm curious about the task killer. ICS will kill everything by itself? I just don't want ridiculous battery drain, cause I can't charge it in school, hehe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwood20:
Through my experience, most battery drain I get is from the screen being on of course and searching for signal. If you get good reception in school, then you shouldn't get much drain with the screen off.

Good enough for a DD. But it does have some of it's minor quirks and bugs. Nothing too crazy though. Try it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
It is a great rom. By far the best alpha version of ICS for the g2x IMO. It is stable enough for a daily driver. I have been using it as such since versio 1.0. No maijor issues here:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cainG2x:
ive also been using HFS as a daily driver since 1.0 and loving it!!! i tried EB and AOKP but both of those only stayed on my phone for about an hour and a half, long enough to play around and figure out i wanna keep HFS on my phone. video recording and playback dont work yet on ICS roms without the proper drivers, but theres videocam illusion in the play store, its free and works. and theres mxplayer in the play store too for video playback, just gotta set it to use SW decoding instaed of HW. so go for it!! youll like it.

boot animation

love the rom!!!!!!!! but i have no boot animation. is this supposed to be or is it something i am doing wrong i have wiped and reflashed but still the same. but still great rom great work thank you made me fall in love with my g2x again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
Did u flash a different kernel? If so was it morfics? By using all 'stock' rom and such you shouldnt have this issue. If so grab yourself a copy of the nullifier, link in my sig, nullify and reflash.. or just flash faux's kernel and replace the boot animation... and should be good...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] edekalil:
I just loadded it the other day myself and am really digging it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] binded2:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
Been using this ROM since the first day 1.4 was released and i have not had any major issues, a reboot here and there. nothing i was not doing with any other ROM. But ICS is sick, i don't think i can go back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
I tried it for a couple days, it can be laggy if you are trying to do a bunch of stuff at once. I guess that could be different depending on if you have your CPU at the stock frequency or not. Overall it is pretty nice though, if you don't mind some lag here and there its great. After all ICS wasn't released too long ago
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokentatortot:
Not too stable yet, but no ICS ROM is. Def a great ROM to see what ICS is all about. I tried EB and HFS and my phone liked EB better. I say its worth flashing and trying all ICS ROMS and seeing for yourself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] b_Rich:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvaldeben:
Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to root the samsung galaxy tab since it's last update to Gingerbread 2.3.4?

I Only use the WiFi connection so don't care if its verizon root method.

I search for few hours and tried SuperOneClick a few ways already, but nothing has worked so far.

Would installing any rooted rom with Odin work. If you have tried it please let me know.

Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 NAND lock with the last update?

If you have tried rooting android 2.3.4 please let me know.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mck1:
Try putting tab in download mode (on/off plus volume up together).. I managed to root by doing this with oneclick.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkmj:
Super One Click will not work for the Sprint Galaxy Tab on 2.3.4. There is a pre-rooted Rom you can flash through Odin. It's been around since the 2.3.4 update was released and works very well. You can find it here. Good Luck!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvaldeben:
I had tried that previously and it's a no go on the 2.3.4 on the sprint tablet.

Thanks for the advice.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvaldeben:
Since this would install all fresh rom it would delete all my application data for the games my wife and kids are playing. Is there a way back this data on a non rooted tab? once I do this I will try the Odin method.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvaldeben:
The root worked great. I thought all my apps would be gone but not true, It kept all apps intact and their current status.

I think that my phone is soft-brick.

I had a problem in flashing a stock ROM,and someone gave me this:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634/s5570-after-resurrection-partition-problem-1275412/

So i have flash the ARM11BOOT.tar like the the guide.

now,my phone is not booting.

i can turn it on,but there is only a black/white screen( I mean that the screen is on and i can see a light)...

Do you think that JIG will fix it?

I am sure that it is not HARD BRICK because i already had a hard-brick,and the screen was black.

And those JIG are good for Galaxy Mini?.

you have just tried to flash boot loader never ever do that again now if you can't go to download then use a jig and then flash with odin

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hangampalli:
So I'm in CWM about to install a new ICS rom. I go to mounts and storage and start formatting everything. As I finish with that, I start trying to make my way to the "mount usb storage" option to I can copy the .zip files from my computer.

However, I accidentally mount or unmount one of the folders near the top. I'm not sure which one (I was a little distracted by something else at the time). So I figure why not just reboot into recovery (in hindsight, bad idea).

Now the phone is stuck at the AT&T Logo. I'm not sure its a "bootloop" since it always stays at the white screen and never goes into black.

I've tried every button combo I can think of to get back into recovery or download mode, but no luck.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Just flash with ODIN. Use a JIG
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Well you can try

Open ODIN

take out battery

connect phone to computer insert battery while holding Vol up+vol down (assuming on i897 bootloaders)

flash to stock

OR

Jig

... I typed to slow.... lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
And I made mine short and too the point for people that don't read :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
it happened with me also no need to use USB jig just connect your device to computer in download mode then flash any Odin one click package with boot loader

bootloader is necessary as you just wiped boot from recovery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If he wiped his bootloader it would be hard bricked. I would attempt it without bootloader first.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
there are 2 types of boot loader one for going to dload and recovery mode and one for booting phone he removed the bootloader which boot phone and if it is not boot loader then can u please tell what is exactly the boot in mount and storage option
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
cwm wont let you wipe your bootloader or efs. he should be fine if he reads...

there is NO INSTRUCTIONS ANYWHERE that say to wipe everything in that menu.

if anything system and data (factory reset).

odin flash to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
that is just wrong in so many ways. simply put if bootloaders were dammaged/missing the phone would not turn on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
OK I just want to know only for knowledge that what is that boot option in mount and storage so I can give exact info to others
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
there is no bootloader option in mounts and storage...

looking at it now the options are to mount or format:

system

cache

datadata

sdcard

data

emmc

no boot or bootloader.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
if removing primary boot loader will not let the phone to show anything then why there are two boot loader just think

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

I am using glitch kernel which have cwm v5.5 installed and the first format option the mount and storage is of boot just go to recovery and see it

do not give people wrong info just for making yourself true
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Yes there is a primary and secondary bootloader but if 1 is broken, gone the phone won't BOOT at all (hard bricked). FYI secondary bootloader handles the key combos. Im not saying he doesn't need to flash bootloaders BUT I would try to odin without bootloaders first see if it works. Less chance of killing your phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Good for you. But if the user has a less than stable cable or God knows what else your advice will lead to a brick for something that could have been fixed with out a bl package. Btw it's not smart attacking a rom dev on the forums.... just saying.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
glitch kernel does, I AM SOOO SORRY, my other phone doesn't run glitch.

and take your own advice as well. how do you know it formats bootloader?

do you know what would happen if you formatted bootloader?

and try to understand not everyone sees the exact same thing you do unless we know what kernel you are using.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
OK lets get the kernel tester for Glitch in this conversation. Wiping boot.img in CWM wipes the kernel because on MTD ROM's. The kernel is contained in a boot.img, not a zImage.... So no the only program or recovery system that has access to the bootloaders is ODIN or HEIMDALL. CWM recovery doesn't even have access to bootloaders on any other phone either... So TRusselo is completely right and dhlalit11 is wrong...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
S-nap B-eock

a recovery that wipes its own bootloader would just be retarded.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
exactly why it was probably never made, so NOOBS had less of a chance to brick their phones....

1. Do I need to restore the phone to rooted Stock prior to having Alejandrissimo unlock my phone?

2. With the locked bootloader, CWM installs itself to /system. Do I still use the same recovery, or is there a different one I'll need to use? Or do you no longer need to use the recovery?

3. Does unlocking the bootloader wipe the phone, requiring I install a new kernel and ROM right after?

4. How do I reinstall the stock kernel if I need to take my phone in for service? (Yes, I know about voiding the warranty.)
