[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterVision:
Hi, guys!

I've tried rooting my DesireZ using "Downgrading guide from gingerbread to froyo" (link was destroyed by forum rules)

It is really clear and easy to do guide. But I ran into a problem because I can't make a root backup after gaining Temporary root on HTC DESIRE Z (2.42.405.2). When fixsu.sh ends I am starting "Root check basic" app and it has show me the result is OK. Then I starts MyBackupPro. The first time it shows me new menu item with root operations, but after that it refusing do anything instead of message "There is no properly root access". Titanium Backup behaves in the same way: it properly starts, but does not work with system applications. The only step in the guide I have missed is "Changing version number", but I think the problem is not the case, is it true? Could you tell me please, what may be a reason?

I really fear to begin change the ROM before to have full backup...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Try a full power off. turn the phone off, pull the battery out for a minute, then turn it back on and retry the temp-root.

Sometimes the 'fastboot' feature of sense roms messes with the temp-root.

After about a year and a half of joyful use with my HTC desire...It died two days ago...in a tragic twister accident...the screen no longer displays anything but a few white lines, yet the touch screen still works...i just cant see what im typing...or what im doing, not very practical.

Now What should i do now...send it off for repair, being in mind it has a custom Rom on it, Or just buy a new phone...another htc desire? or?

Thanks for your opinions ;)
[Desire General] stankyou:
You are considering getting another HTC Desire? A 2 year old obsolete piece of technology?

Man you have a valid reason to upgrade then why not do it. At least go with HTC DesireS or something. :D
[Desire General] lukedoust:
Haha my desire is like my son! ;)

haha, true this is my opportunity...TO EBAY! lol..not sure if i really trust ebay tho :P!
[Desire General] JustAnotherCider:
You could get a beater phone and use it until you find a phone you want on eBay, kijiji, etc. Or until the one you want releases.
[Desire General] 777ace:
Sensation imo.

Or maybe step outside the square and go Nokia Lumia900 :cool:
[Desire General] haroldil23:
I would say send it for repair, there is no issue what so ever with your phone contaning custom rom, to my opinion it is just your LCD display died, it is nothing compare a new device cost, if you repare it you mite even get a good price for it, which will make your new phone cheeper.
[Desire General] hudl:
I don't think repairing it will be worth it. The display costs about 60-70 Euros and if you don't repair it on your own, it gets even more expensive.

I got a new Nexus S for my girlfriend for 200,- Euros, so...
[Desire General] haroldil23:
If you got some "good hands", there are planty of you tube movies how to replace the lcd, and if you go to item number 300640556669 on ebay, you will find the display for about 28€.
[Desire General] lukedoust:
Thank you for all of the replies, I went into the 3 store. they said if it is accidental damage, it will be repaired for free.

as their is no visable scratches or damage, i hope they can do for free.

Now, once its repaired, i might try and sell the desire, and get a sensation...and if it cant be repaired, ill try to fix it my self, which will be a fun project!

[Acer Iconia A500] dave_w_h:
I just put this update on my A500. My question is - does anyone know what was updated. I read the info on the screen but there was nothing that gave an explanation.
[Acer Iconia A500] zardoz99:
It updates the tool that searches for OTA updates.

However, take a look at the picture in the market.

It clearly shows that the device is running ICS!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
Acer is weird. So I got an update notice for an app from "google play", and installed an update of an app for update, what the hell.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Since it was the OTA updater being updated... it makes sense it was pushed through Google Play.
[Acer Iconia A500] HouseM:
I saw this app two days ago but it says that it's not supported by my device. Well today I've updated manually my market app to 3.5.15 and suddenly this application update pops up on my notification bar. ? I don't know what is it for but I didn't manage to run it after this update.
[LG Optimus 2x] ihexacore:
I backup my rom file and tried to restore from backup files. It always fails, with Error about /data(I can't remember well...).

When I boot and check storage, it does not shows internal sdcard, but only 1.94GB storage and my external sdcard storage. When I tried to mount /emmc in CWM, it always fail.

Is there any problem with my phone? Is it became half-bricked?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suncross:
I searched this place for like 4 hours today, and I can't find any answers. I am trying to install a different rom onto my phone. I used odin to give me super user. I have clockworkmod and all the premium apps, and the version is 5.0.0.6 (because I read on different threads that I should try using an older version, but this is still a newer version).

I have the samsung epic 4g touch, and I already had to revert back (I didn't back up - couldn't if I tried because cwm won't let me) to the factory settings. Basically I am stuck trying to get cwm to work. It just wont go into recovery mode. It keeps sending me to the default android recovery. I am at a total loss. Right now I am trying to download cyanogenmod to see if that will help me, but it probably has nothing to do with what I am trying to accomplish.

I have been watching videos all weekend trying to get this to work, and am pretty much stuck on the very second step of all of them, which is to boot into recovery mode. The latest thread I am following is here at the site "/showthread.php?t=1514665". Still stuck on the second part.

I don't want to be babied through it, but for some reason I can't get cwm to work properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
I recommend sfhub's one root in the developer forum. It will add a kernel with cwm to your phone. Very easy, just follow his directions.

I also use all of his one-click Odin files to install a rooted rom. He does excellent work and they are all in the developer section.

It sounds like cwm really isn't installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Don't use the CWM. It does not work on ICS and may cause the phone bricked.

Use the Rogue kernel or odin.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suncross:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551901

This is what you're talking about right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Assuming you don't care about the yellow triangle nor the odin flash count (ie you have a jig to reset, will use the triangle away software, or just don't care) the quickest way to restore to a safe ROM with CWM is to use the special pre-rooted EL26+CWM Odin OneClick.

It is available in #A2 of the 2nd post in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416477

If you do care about the yellow triangle, then just follow the directions in the 1st post. Basically there is one extra step that takes around a minute, but it won't trigger the yellow triangle nor will it increase the ODIN flash count.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suncross:
I think this was the first guide I followed when I rooted my phone. However, it doesn't do anything for me. CWM still doesn't work. I can't flash any new roms on there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you followed the first post, did you read the section at the end (of the first post) that says if you want CWM, to use the Auto Root package and choose Option C? Auto Root package is available here (and in my signature):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

I only added the special pre-rooted EL26 ODIN OneClick with El26+CWM today so while it is possible you used it, probably less likely.

The reason I haven't included CWM in the past is because if you ODIN flash a kernel that isn't signed by Samsung you trigger the yellow triangle and increase the ODIN flash count. It wasn't that much effort (about an extra minute) to use the Auto Root packaged to install CWM after installing the pre-rooted ODIN OneClick.

However with the advent of the ICS kernels and the /data partition bricking people have encountered when doing wipes/restores, folks have been reverting back to GB-based CWM to do all their ROM flashes so I created packages with CWM built-in to save people a step.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] suncross:
I am kind of a retard when it comes to phones, but from what I read on all your posts, I can't see where any of that will help me install an ics rom, or any other rom. I can't seem to get CWM to work, and I can't even get CM to install or root or whatever through any means.

I don't want to brick my phone, but at the same time I don't want to have to charge my phone twice or more a day. This is my first smart phone, and after a 3 hour phone conversation, the battery was dying (and I took it off the charger from a full charge when I started dialing), so something has to give. This is a clean phone too. I didn't have anything but the default apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
I'm really not trying to be an ahole here, really... But maybe you shouldn't be attempting this? Sfhub could not have made it easier for us. If you find his instructions difficult, maybe you should stay stock. Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Do you want Samsung stock ICS or did you want AOKP or CM9, the procedures are different.

Up until now I've just been addressing the topic of your post, which is CWM is not working.

It would be much easier to help you if you went through the instructions and posted what step didn't work. Just saying you "read (on) all posts" is too general to be of any use.

[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
hello,

although the topic of supercharger says that it can be used in all kinds of roms i just want to make sure.

is it possible to use these 2 tweaks (now optional for sapphire) on roms like zeus/echelon/marvel?

i know the devs of these roms aply tweaks demselves so that's why i want to know. i can imagine that to much tweaks can be bad for the rom..

maybe it's possible but i won't gain much.

thanks in advance for the help
[LG Optimus Black] duvee:
for me it helps a lot..

I am using marvel v4, and without the SManager applying the tweaks, the software has a certain lagg..

When I see at the screen "SManager has gained root acces", which means he is now activating the script, I see a reallly big difference in speed and battery consumption, in a positive way.

So my answer would be yes, definately. I recommend the script.
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
as we say in dutch, i am going to take on my bad shoes and just give it a try..

[LG Optimus Black] a_alex_1993:
On this topic

What are the downsides of using v6supercharger if there are any?
[LG Optimus Black] duvee:
I cant think of any..

Because the script only tweaks the build.prop if I'm correct, it just applies changes to make it faster and better for your battery.
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
V6 SuperCharger Does tweaks at systme/etc/init.d, build.prop and it changes the values for memorykiller and other mumbo jumbo, if you read the original thread for V6SC you can learn what are the things it does.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
If it is so good...... Why LG, Samsung, etc. don't make the tweaks themselves?? Are they interested to keep users using laggy and poor-battery devices??? Why that??
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:

[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
handy?

i tried these two tweaks on Echelon but i didn't notice any difference..

The only difference is untutu benchmark.. it gave stable 2600/2650 on stock echelon.

after the tweaks the score went down to 2550/2600.

I also tried the tweaks on sapphire en there was definitly an increse of performance..

so it's just about the rom you use these tweaks on..

offcourse not so unusual because the most stock roms have allready been tweaked
[LG Optimus Black] Psxmaster:
i tried it with my p970 on zeus v 5.03 ;)

points say nothing about the feeling :D
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
i totally agree, but sometimes the difference is so little that it's hard to notice..

thats why i also do a benchmark.

Firstly, I doubt we'll get a reply from the ted developers. The app Installed fine for me on a stock rom with the original build.prop. They have been trying to create an app which works on any resolution. I side loaded the apk for TED, and found that while it worked, the default resolution was too small. When I set my dpi to 321 this was solved, but other things didn't work.

Will try and do a diff with the original build.prop tonight and see what the issue is. 'New' google play app from this thread is awesome, but doesn't fix problem.
