I'm kind of lost, the benefits of this recovery is what exactly if we can't flash with it? It might sound like I'm being a smartass, but I'm not. I'm kind of ignorant when it comes to some of the nuances of ROMs that's all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
The purpose of this recovery is to have an alternative to the stock recovery which has limited functionality. I am using this recovery to be able to do things like fix permissions after pushing something to my system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fyahstarter:
So for other functions outside of flashing? Hmmm...okay. I've never used a recovery in any other capacity, but hey....cool! Thanks for the quick reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
it isn't recommended in OP but people are successfully flashing between ICS builds by wiping with format all or modified format zip. Steady is saying not to do it to avoid anyone wiping partitions and having it cause conflict where Odin won't restore completely... its flash at user discretion. I am sure when source comes out and Steady feels its safe 100% of the time that will be changed.

You can still flash non-ROM zips so I use this to flash Calkulin's bare ROM converter and ssconceptz ICS theme.

8) repack made (fap some more)

9) run finish installing

how to flash a rom

I'm on the 3.7 blazer rom but wanted to flash the 4.0 version the blazer rom. if i'm not suppose to use the rogue 1.1.2 (cwm v 5.0.2.7) recovery to flash the blazer rom how am i suppose to?

help?? :confused: :confused:

do i flash the the newer "stock fc18" in my current recovery and then ??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
You are in the wrong thread. This thread is for an ICS only recovery. Do some more reading or you are likely to brick your phone. Do no use anything above Rogue Gunslinger to flash anything GingerBread. And for petesake don't use touch recovery or ROM Manager. That said I use SteadyHawkins's Kernals and love PhantomHacker's ROMs

Multiple roms, Hellfire, cm7, and a couple other gingerbread roms, simply can't open the dialer! :confused: I have been trying to fix this for a couple of hours, and it is quite frustrating. I haven't tested all the roms, but the ones I have, no luck!

When I click dialer, it will just open to a black screen, then close back to the previous home screen. However, this doesn't occur with the back up of eaglesblood ics rom that I made a nandroid backup of prior to all this tweaking.

I don't know what causes these things to happen, but it might be relevant (I have no idea if it is or not) that I did for the first time a system format b/c of instructions listed to flash a specific rom.

A simple search for a stable rom with wifi calling that DOESN'T drop for my dad's g2x, has turned into its own little fiasco..

Any input is greatly encouraged, thanks! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Are you wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and system before flashing? If you don't you're bound to have problems coming from that stupid stock ROM.

Titanium Backup being used to reload applications?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 8point6:
^ I agree -- very possible.

Also, are you going from different versions of Android built into ROMS?

Say Android 2.3.4 to 2.3.7? -- System App data from Titanium Backup will not work if ROM is based on different Android Version.

I would download G2x scrubber -- really simplifies the WIPING part. Just flash zip and good to install another ROM.

HDMI out on my Novo advanced II works fine except I cannot output the camera preview out on my TV. Why???

I want to use my tablet as a video camera to output instant motion picture on my TV.
[General Questions and Answers] baniel2006:
workaround

my workaround now is

1) use IP cam app to use my tablet as a webcam

2) then use tinyCam Monitor to view the IP cam

using this workaround, i could export the image through HDMI cable, but the download side is the resolution is low and sometime lagging

is there a better and direct way to do so?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gede:
Hi,

Just "upgraded" from an old Cyanogen ICS (didn't use the phone for more then a month) to the LPQ Samsung ICS through Odin.

I did wipe cache and dalvik.

Samsung ICS seems to work just fine, however the camera fails. Flashed back a recent Cyanogen rom (cm-9-20120318) and also here the Camera fails.

Camera worked fine when still on unrooted GB 2.3.6 last time I checked about 2 months ago, and I haven't dropped the device afaik.

My guess is that while flashing roms about 2 months ago I did something wrong somewhere... Maybe overwrote the camera firmware with something stupid?

Is there a way to get the camera to work again?

Thanks for listening..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backudog:
Im not that technically minded but isnt there a firmware update for the camera on the "samsung apps"..er..bit of the phone? maybe installing that will fix it?

Yes, so do I. And actually the instruction to flash with a pit file is from a guide from this site:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449771

Like I said, I am afraid I messed something up while flashing some time ago. (got a Gnote, so didn't bother so much) Flashing a recovery won't hurt (if I can find the damned I9100XXKI3.rar with the pit and such) and I already flashed an official fw, with clean caches and so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpivk:
Do note that bricking and firmware aren't even remotely connected. What you're describing sounds like a camera firmware problem and flashing won't help you.

Call *#34971539# and check your Phone/Cam Fw version. What do you see?

Use a stock rom for your phone and try to flash new firmware via Samsung apps or take it to a service center.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gede:
Ok, Got back to official 2.3.5 (flashed with pit), Camera still doesn't work "Camera Failed".

Now, I'll try to flash kernel and bootloader, as in the recovery post.

You might want to disable fast dormancy on the Rogers network with the N7000. It should help your battery life a bit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregulator:
Just out of curiosity, what's fast dormancy?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagentaJoe:
Fast Dormancy is a protocol established between the cell masts and the radio in your phone. It allows both ends of the data transfer to co-ordinate switching between high and slow speed data modes. If your carrier supports it then it can save battery power, running at the less energy intensive slower data speeds when you aren't transferring large amounts of data and switching the HSPA+ when needed.

If your carrier does not support it then you typically will see slightly reduced battery life with it on.

As far as I know, in Canada, only the Bell/Telus network support it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregulator:
Thanks! So here's the 2nd part of that question. How do you turn off fast dormancy?

Install a browser on your phone and search. It's not hard. Shows what a person gets for trying to help someone out. I gave you an explanation you asked for but I am not going to spoon feed you too.

Canadians are generally known for being polite and kind. So much for that assumption. Must be some sort of stereotype like beavers and polar bears.

I have had this problem ever since the first time I have tried to use the Superwipe flashable zips, all in all I have tried around 4 different scripts.

The problem I run into is after the scripts run and I install X rom, when I boot it doesnt look like anything formatted. What I mean is on the first boot I do not get prompted to do the setup and I have my apps and widgets displayed on the homescreens from the previous rom. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?? I have just been flashing the Superwipe script like a normal flashable zip, do I need to mount the partitions or something?

It would help if you posted the zip you used.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Why even use a script, just take a few extra seconds and wipe your partitions thru recovery. The script your using probably needs modifing for use with the inc. If i googled the one your talking about it is for the evo 4g.

I believe this is the script you are refering to modified for the incredible.This will wipe your boot, cache, data, and system, partitions. VR_SuperWipe_Inc.zip.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demarcmj:
I've never seen or heard any compelling evidence that these superwipe scripts are ever needed. Just do a full wipe in recovery and you should be good.

And for completeness, here is the "full wipe" procedure...

"wipe data/factory reset"

"mounts and storage" > "format /boot"

"mounts and storage" > "format /system"

Done. That's all you need to do. No scripts necessary. No repeating things 2 or 3 times. No manual clearing of dalvik. Just these three steps.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
thx for the answer..

well, since i like to categorise apps, i have those "News", "Reference", "Navigation", "Game - Action", "Game - Leisure", etc. folders..

then i have this app which ideally fits to "Game - Strategy" folder, and unfortunately i have only this single app of this type..

so im now left with 2 game folders with many games inside, and a single game icon sitting alongside.. nothing big deal.. but it hurts my universe with this un-equilibrium state.. :)

anyway thx for ur answer..

This is all thanks to djrbliss.. I just followed instructions.

***This method does not root the V8 OTA update rather it will maintain root from V7 LG-Stock firmware and will carry it over into the OTA V8 update. There is no CWM-Recovery or GingerVolt as of yet, that is left to the professionals.. MT :D This is only if you want to run the V8 OTA Update with stock software.. but with root.

1. Use LGNPST to get back to LG-Stock V7 firmware by flashing the .tot

Files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466655

Instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337386

2. Use the LG1click from MT to root only.. you need stock recovery to apply the OTA update.

3. Create /data/local.prop and type ro.kernel.qemu=1 then save it. I used root explorer but you can also do it through terminal: echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

4. Phone Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check New and download the update to V8 firmware.

5. After reboot go to whatever directory on your PC, where you have superuser.apk and su and

adb remount

adb push su /system/bin/su

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

If not sure use the 'files' from MT's LG1click

If that doesn't work download and run this:

Super1click 2.3.3 will push the files for you

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50763513/SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.rar

***If nothing above is working*** (operation not permitted or read-only file system)

in adb type "adb shell id" should read "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"

if not go back to /data/local.prop and make sure the file is still there (If not, just create it again in root explorer or other file manager that can edit files)

then "adb remount" and try to push the files again

then reboot and should be all set

OH, and if you don't want that remote desktop app it is /system/app/Aetherpal.apk I just renamed to Aetherpal.apk.bak rather than deleting it just in case..

Also if for some reason you wipe data (which I accidentally did) you will have to go back to Step 3 before getting the OTA update

And while they did fix some things in the update they left out fixing the touchscreen.. still goes unresponsive then you have to press power button to lock and unlock the screen to resume.
