mmmm so you are in fastboot mode?? (blue notification led on turned off phone connected to the pc)

if you are then you should try flashtool, you don't need to be rooted you just have to install it along with the drivers you will found on the drivers folder on the flashtool folder, start it, connect the phone on fastboot mode, select flash then fastboot mode, select flash kernel browse to the boot.img file and it should do the job.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Il Giulione:
Thanks, I've done everything by flashing rage kernel :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
The boot.img file has to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe file. Else it cannot find it and you would have to enter address manually.

Just make sure the boot.img file is in the same folder as fastboot.exe.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
Since about January, all the CM7 based roms have had flaky GPS for me. Basically it loses the signal after about 5 minutes. A quick GPS on/off cycle usually fixes the problem. However, I really don't like the distraction

(and the danger) of messing with the gps when driving 70 mph.

I spent quite a bit of time searching for a solution on this and other forums, but found nothing helpful. Yesterday, I got the idea to try out one of the Sense GPS drivers in the AOSP roms. I extracted the attached file from one of the Stock roms and replaced the AOSP driver.

The good news is it appears to work. In the 4 times I've driven I didn't have to do any GPS cycling.

Steps:

1) Extract the attached gps.glacier.so.zip file.

2) Using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (with the root option checked) copy the attached gps.glacier.so file into your system/lib/hw directory replacing the current file.

3) Reboot.

4) You may want to clear out the A-GPS state using the GPS status app, but I don't know if this is necessary or not.

or

1)Use clockworkmod to install the GPS_Fix.zip file.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone else. I am thinking of developing zip you can flash if there is interest in it. But in the meantime I wanted to post the fix, since I know there have been other people with the same problems I had.

I hope this helps!

EDIT-

I have also added the gps_update.zip that has the gps.conf file, the supl.root.cert and the gps.glacier.so all put together by tnpapadakos
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
testing now

have you tried the gps.conf by crypted? the gps lock is way quicker/better than the stock/aosp gps.conf file

just wondering if you tried it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
No, I haven't tried it. My lock time hasn't been bad... I usually have a lock in the time it takes me to pull out of my garage. That being said, I am always tweaking things so I will definitely give it a try.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
use this one

these work for glacier but are in other threads, you'll notice

in any case, this is the one to use if you wanna save yourself some reading

also, the guy's a fricking genius or something, open up the file in that zip and see what he's doing...he's hosting his own gps servers:cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
Thanks. I just finished reading through his notes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Supamike88:
Do you flash this in recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
The gps.conf by crypted file can be flashed in recovery. You can also just open up the zip and copy it using root explorer, etc.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
somtimes I just add it to the rom before flashing, and you have to also add the SuplRootCert to system/etc, but if he comes up with an update in between roms, i just flash from recovery....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] G8351427:
Don't forget to check the permissions on the file. I am not sure if it was because I backed up the old one first and copied in the new one after, but I had to change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

This, I learned the hard way. I always forget something...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
definitely....i always check the permissions of the file i'm replacing and match that on a new file, or, if i'm inserting one thats not there, i look at the permissions of the surrounding similar files, and match it to those

otherwise, rw-r--r-- is usually the fallback
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Yea I have noticed that the best GPS experience I have had was when the phone was completely stock the GPS worked great, locked on quickly, and never lost signal. After I flashed it and such the GPS has been a pain to get lock when I needed it the most.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmagritte:
I've found that any of the radios after the official Froyo version causes the GPS to fail after a few minutes as described by the OP. However, with some of the newer ROMS I've found that the newest radio doesn't completely lose the GPS signal but it does still seem to temporarily lose it but it then it comes back by itself (causes navigation to get stuck at a location for a minute or two every now and then).

I tried the driver and agps mod from this thread. At first it completely killed my GPS then someone posted about the required permission changes which fixed that. I haven't tried navigation so I can't say whether it prevents the temporary position loses, but it does seem to still be pretty slow to lock on and after it does lock on may take several minutes before the accuracy gets to a useful level.

I think I'm going to go back to the Froyo radio as that one seems to work the best for GPS and I'm not convinced it makes much of a difference for voice/data. Perhaps the Froyo radio with these mods would be the best?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
I have noticed the "stuck position" before. I haven't paid attention to that with this mod before. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
I have updated the OP to include a CWM flashable GPS_Fix.zip file. It worked for me, but if anyone wants to test it, I'd appreciate it.

The thing I am most curious about is if the file is copied with the correct permissions.

thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aybe:
I flashed the update and after that the GPS locked on pretty quick. I haven't tested for navigation yet.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
here's one with the gps.conf file, the supl.root.cert and the gps.glacier.so all put together if anyone would like to test it

quick satellite fixes and continuous GPS lock

(hopefully)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] spyderman33:
It worked on MIUI... Thanks...Its been losing signal for the longest time and now it locked in and never lost it again...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
I'm glad it helped you out!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] josh2020glacier:
Thanks best thing we needed yet. Works perfect wit miui.us.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
I updated the OP to include the gps_update.zip put together by tnpapadakos and updated the thread title to include MIUI.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 6long:
Do we have to copy the files from the META-INF folder too?

I've moved the gps.glacier.so via Root Explorer and changed the permissions to rw--r--r and i get an instant lock, but only accurate to 30m. If I turn off location "by wireless networks" and leave only "Use GPS satellites" on, I get a "Please enable a My Location source in system settings". Does that mean the GPS is not working?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Gadianton:
No need to copy the meta files.

Google maps always says that when wifi is off. You can check the box to stop that notification.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks goodness, thanks so much for this! That's been driving me nuts for quite some time...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Thanks so much I think it's working great I am using the cwm flash zip

Went on the market and my phone went pop and keeps bootlooping. Now I can get into the bootloader and fastboot mode but nothing else.

Now what should I do any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Flash Google's stock images?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
It went pop? Trying to picture that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
It made a pop sound, like when an old filament light blew.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
restore an old backup try flashing a ROM or flash stock image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
Did you do a battery pull? Sounds like it just crashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
done a battery pull etc. just flashed stock images now and its booted up ill see how everything goes. It was just weird because I was already on stock images so I don't see how what I done made a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] champers:
My phone will make that speaker pop when I use ROM Manager to reboot into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Well then that's a bug in your kernel/rom you're currently using. :/. I've also had this too, but haven't seen it for approximately 2 1/2 months (first two weeks it scared the **** out of me and thought it was gonna blow the speaker, lol).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] champers:
Stock 4.0.2? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
No... but you have a custom recovery but on stock...? O-o okay. Anyway. It was Android Revolution HD (4.0.2-based).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Mine does... Sometimes... I'd call and send it back but its my fifth gnex and the first that works properly. Does anyone else's do it? Maybe its something easy to fix?

[HTC Rezound] EtherBoo:
Hi All,

I've been researching this all morning and I'm not coming up very optimistic.

I've decided to go ahead and start getting messy with my Rezound. My first step is to unlock the bootloader etc etc etc. The problem is, from my understanding, your phone gets wiped when the bootloader is unlocked.

The problem is that I've been playing Where's My Water? lately and I'd really like to avoid losing my progress. Is there a way for me to temp root or start this process without losing my data?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Not really. Unless you already have root, you can't use something like Titanium Backup to backup the app data. There are other backup programs, but they normally only backup the apps, not the data.

If you are on the current OTA, there is no longer a temp root solution.
[HTC Rezound] EtherBoo:
Unfortunately, that's what I'm finding :(.

I actually didn't install Angry Birds for this exact reason, but when this game was $.25, I figured "What the hell?" Then I couldn't stop playing it :-(.

Is there anyway to make an Nandroid backup without Root? I found an App that will extract data from there (AppExtractor). I'm thinking once I have Root, I should be able to extract from a backup.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Same answer... without root, no.
[HTC Rezound] woodyt74:
You could try MyBackup Pro which does not require root. I think that is what I used when I first unlocked and rooted.
[HTC Rezound] joebrady119:
You don't have to wipe to unlock. You should be able to unlock. Install recovery app. Do a nandroid backup. Install base rooted rom overtop stock. Then titanium backup. Worked on my old base. Not positive on new ICS leak though.

You may get some force closes before you do a full wipe.

Sent from my highly modified ICS Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] EtherBoo:
Thanks, but I already wiped :-(.

Got Scott's CleanROM now. Unlocking the Bootloader wipes the phone according to HTC, and it even warned me I'd lose everything.

I really hope this device gets some CM9 love because Sense is just ridiculously over-bloated.

Also, for anyone who hasn't put the leak on yet, ICS has been butchered. HTC replaced the People App with the same contacts you have in GB. At least Apex Launcher is sweet.
[HTC Rezound] danoldkong:
I am in the same situation, with a stock Rezound with some data I'd like to keep. Could this be clarified? I thought I could do a 'temp-root', but it seems that this was just for an old version of the stock ROM. I have software version 2.01.605.11

How do I "install recovery app" without first rooting, and therefore having to wipe my phone (for whatever reason)?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BzDan:
Hi,

I tried to root a 7" Galaxy Tab (device MID7 with Marvell CPU) runing Android 2.3.5 by using z4root ver.1.3.0 but I haven't managed. I got the following response from Root Check Pro V1.2.7 (I have Superuser 3.0.7 installed).

Verifying BusyBox:

BysyBox has been installed correctly!

Verifying Root:

Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.

Detailed results:

Superuser application - version 3.0.7 - is installed

Question: which file and how do I execute it??

ADB shell default user:

ADB shell setting for standard access, stored in default.prop is configured as rootuser -ro.secure=0

Using the Root Browser I noticed that:

- there is no /system/bin/su file (as correctly indicated by Root Checker)

- folder /sbin is empty, although the Checker says there is a su flile there, but permission is denied. It the file hidden?

- there is a /system/xbin/su file,

- there is no /system/xbin/sudo file (as correctly indicated by Root Checker)

- there is a /marvell/tel/busybox file, but not a folder

I also have Terminal Emulator 1.0.41 installed, however it seems I cannot do anything with it now.

I would appreciate explanations and suggestions about how to gain root, taking into considerations all of the above.

Thank you.

Very strange as I was not in update, but on 'add account' page and the 'update available' notice came up by itself.

I was setting up my new Razr just connected on wifi without even a simcard in it (just broke the old one in a very stupid way, googled for an update to my Razr and ended buying another one, but ot is another story...):)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
Awesome stuff. Maybe I'll revert back to o2 ROM...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jms_uk:
No sign of a change log, so does anyone know what's in it??

Also as this new update is 651.167.26, has anyone who recentlygrabbed 651.167.21 via Motocast (updating from 651.167.19 via rsd/eternity project Fla****) get it?

Tried plugging my 651.167.21 Razr into a PC running Motocast and fished for an update, but it said there wasn't one available
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
I think the update is only for official releases. If you have another version you flashed you may have to flash back to the phones original ROM to get this update OTA
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ArghSims:
OTA'd it

So far I see pretty cosmetic changes. Voodoo restored root ok (hooray!), it has a different lock screen (little key icon in middle of screen plus a speaker/vibrate toggle, after touching key icon, camera and unlock icons appear for you to swipe over), Text Messaging icon changed, Menu settings moved in launcher.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Can we see some screenshoot? Are you sure it's not 2.3.6?

nothing for nordic users :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
It is 2.3.6 cast iron fact.

To be fair I was hoping for better gaming performance. Games like Sprinkle still freeze for a few seconds now and then.

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ArghSims:
Yes, it is 2.3.6, sorry for any confusion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Ah OK I thought it was 2.3.7 :o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
2.3.6 fixed the freezes for me. Mine is asian rom though, thought you'd like to know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDCFH:
Maybe I should clear its cache and see if it works then?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
try factory reset
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jms_uk:
That makes sense, although 651.167.19 and 651.167.21 were "official" updates that for one reason or another, were never pushed OTA to the UK or other regions apart from Germany.. Especially weird given that once you had 651.167.19, Motorola's own Motocast PC application presented you with a further opportunity to update to 651.167.21 :)

That sounds very similar, if not identical, to the changes already brought in with 651.167.19.. Though I appreciate anyone coming from an earlier version than that would never have seen those changes before :)

I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see a change log to see what that .26 actually brings to the table over .19 or .21 - if anything worthwhile at all :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Doitcom:

Hmm I can test the game for you, is it the regular Sprinke right not "Sprinkle Junior" and the latest version?

Where does the game freeze?

Edit: I can confirm the game freeze for me to, it's something wrong with the game and not the phone. I will send an email to the developers.
