[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xrobau:
As these phones are reasonably similar, I'm wondering if someone can do a quick test for me.

I appear to have discovered a nasty potential brick on the GT-I9210T phones, and I'd like to see if someone with a rooted I727 can do the same test.

Basically, the partition table on the GT-I9210T is incorrect. It says that the /mnt/sdcard partition extends beyond the end of the onboard storage.

For the geeks - http://pastebin.com/LYYB69YA

You can do a quick test by running 'parted /dev/block/mmcblock0' and then 'print'.

If it says 'Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!' you have this problem

You can download parted from sendspace.com/file/w6hi6x

If you get that error, I used busybox from 'Terminal IDE' to do a fdisk and dump the exact partition table, and you can see that the extended partition (and, as such, the last partition) goes beyond the size of the internal storage.

This is bad, and means that if you happen to get unlucky, you could corrupt your internal filesystem. If you're EXTREMELY unlucky, it'll wrap around and start writing over the start of the internal storage - it depends on how the MMC driver is written.

So - can someone test for me please?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricky_tracky:
Hello I m new to xda so forgive me if I m posting this in the wrong category. I have HTC wildfire 2.2.1. I have rooted it and intend to install CM7 but when I try to backup my rom ROM MANAGER fails either to finish the backup(freezes or restarts) either to generating md5 sum. I dont need certainly all of my settings i just want a stock rom so i can switch back if i want. So my question is if it will be the same to just download a shipped rom from the site and install it like i would do with my backed up rom and have the same results. What shipped rom should I download? I am from Greece.

Hi, have you tried backing up from recovery? I hate rom manager and have never backed up/restored using this app.

MANCHESTER together UNITED forever
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricky_tracky:
Yes I tried it manually from recovery clockwork but there is problem too. I tried different memory cards, I made the cards empty, I reformatted them at fat32 but nothing seems to change.When I start with rom manager with my 8giga sd it just freezes so i have to pull out the battery.When i use my 2giga sd everything is ok until the end where it writes no sd ext found skipping and generating md5 sum.Then before it restarts(boots normally into the phone) its writing something I m not able to read because it happens very quickly.I think it fails because the yellow bar is at about 75% when the restart happens.When i try to backup from recovery clockwork just stops backup and I m again on the clockwork menu like everything is ok but it isnt.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
You formatted the sdcards before using backup feature? I'm not possitive but I'm pretty sure android stores certain files on your sdcard so may be the reason its not completing.

Try...

Turn off phone,Place your sdcard in phone,turn on phone. If your rom boots normal then reboot into cwm,goto advanced and wipe dalvik cache,reboot,wait for rom to load,again reboot into cwm recovery and now try backing up.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricky_tracky:
Thanks for the help man but i installed cm7 without making a backup.I had tried before formating and after formating and the results were the same.Anyway thanks for the help.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadislam:
Just a suggestion.. try flashing a different cwm... I never had any problems with nandroid eversince I started playing with my phone.. :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Yep, all my backups are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod. I once made the stupid mistake of formatting my SD to get something working. I had to go back to S-ON to take my phone to HTC so I learnt it the hard way :confused::eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
So I recently purchased the Electrify from US cellular, and it's running 2.3.5.

My first question is, aside from the 4g capability, is there any difference between the Photon and Electrify? Any difference that would be important to things such as rooting/roms?

And then....Can anyone please link me to a decent root guide for the electrify/photon?

Oh, and can i get some suggestions from some fellow photon owners, what do you suggest doing to the electrify after its rooted? Any great roms suggested?

Thanks a ton guys! Any help is appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
Plenty of views and no response...wonderful (:
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
only i know: The photon is the worst phone for gsm users
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Rooting won't do a lick of good for playing with ROMs. You need an unlocked bootloader for that. Which you can't get with 2.3.5. I have the same (US Cellular Electrify that came with 2.3.5).

You probably can root it, but I haven't seen a straightforward guide that is confirmed working for the Electrify, and I don't trust guides for the Photon that are not confirmed to work for the Electrify as well.

Once rooted, you can grant apps "superuser" (or in Linux terms "su") permission, which lets apps do things the Android system wasn't really intended to let apps do. Such as taking screenshots. Simple thing, but you need root for it. Or blocking ads -- these all work by changing the HOSTS file, but it's effective enough. The best root app by far is Titanium Backup. You can remove all the bloatware, back up your apps (and their data!), and some other cool things.

I don't feel like rooting is really necessary on our phones, but I am curious about it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:
Yeah i feel the same way, add me man, and if ya find anything, let me know(: Hopefully we can help each other out....I got really into messin with ROM's and flashin **** back in the day with the original droids, and things have REALLY changed since then ha
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Don't need Titanium to remove Blur/Bloat, just send me a copy of a full bloat /data/app folder and I'll add the final entries to the universal deblur/debloat script.
[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
FYI - I got a 2.3.5 Electrify last week, the Photon Torpedo root method works fine.

Slightly miffed, since I thought I was getting a Photon instead, and bought the phone in part because I was sick of the RAZR's locked bootloader, but whatchagonnado. Hardware is lovely, battery life is good, and this version of Blur is much less intrusive than the RAZR's.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Crispytoast, add you on what; and how? I would be glad to help in any way once I learn things but right now I am at square one. My first and previous phone was a Samsung Acclaim (Sprint people, think Moment) and I rooted and ROM'd it with help from the good folks over at SDX, and was able to pass on knowledge and help a couple people, but I'm not a modded or programmer of any kind. I built my computer and the one before it, but otherwise my tech level is pretty moderate. I know a lot more than your average novice, but I'm no guru. Still, I will help where I can.

Lokifish, didn't you get all that already, from an Electrify owner? If not, I would be happy to help, just walk me through the steps to do so or point me in the right direction, and I'll get on it when I get home, get sleep, and get coffee, haha.

And I just want Titanium for backups for now, especially since I have a pro license. ;-)

Onslaught, how did you get an Electrify at Sprint? They are the same device except it's called Electrify at US Cellular and Photon at Sprint... and Photon adds the WiMax (4G) chip... and Photon came first. If you got an Electrify you got it at US Cellular. Isn't that correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
Note my location and carrier - I'm using it exclusively as a GSM device. :)

Hated the ugly silver bezel, too, didn't know the Electrify had that. So I, uh, sanded it off. Looks much nicer. Do recommend.

probably 4+1 core will excended battery life when screen is off

but what about www browsing ?

if anybody have any confident news , please share with us

as he got the phone a few hours ago maybe a little early to tell? anyone asking about battery life please come back in about 1 week time and we will have some relevant information to share. Even then the information will be tainted with "new phone" usage and not normal usage. Come back in a month or two for really accurate information.
[HTC One X] Slingsh0t85:
I totally understand people wanting to manage expectations when it comes to battery life and not disclosing any info until decent testing has been done, but I don't think its unreasonable to at least see a few initial observations on battery life?

I've already pre-ordered, but won't be getting it until 10 days from now. I'd like to see someone's initial impressions on battery usage over an hour watching movies/surfing/etc... :)
[HTC One X] Jobiza:
I don't need exact battery life info, just about screen-on time for first from 100% to 0-10%

thanks
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
how on earth is someone meant to say how long the battery life lasts after having it for half a day?

he probably used it continuously and if he's like me he'd have waited for it to do a full drain before plugging it in
[HTC One X] override182:
Or perhaps this is the moment when we could know how long is the max screen on time since ppl r using it like crazy as its a new phone. Lol
[HTC One X] Jobiza:
Blah, screen-on time from like 100% to 50%, no need to give anything else, that's is not hard to tell if you have used it half a day.
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
agree, just for rough idea for self comparison, e.g. my DHD 100% - 50% only like 3 hours with constant use - videos etc with auto brightness (shocking i know) hopefully the 1x is gonna be double that

Related to this, the manual says only use the official charger. I've got a New Trent external battery. I s there danger of it doing any harm?
[HTC One X] shure2:
I get at least 5h on screen time with my desire z on 40% screen brightness. Mainly on WiFi checking xda and web browsing.

I'd hope for 4h on the HOX but its not looking great. It's still a bit worrying that a slightly older device can still beat the newer devices.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
New toy syndrome combined with a new battery taking about two Weeks to reach max performance, means it'll be a while before an accurate idea of average battery life emerges.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
No, there's no danger. They simply want to limit damage to the battery by cheap Hong Kong Ebay chargers which don't regulate the voltage very well. You should be fine with a battery pack.
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
Starting to wonder of the reason we havent heard anything about battery life from HTC or any other sites is because it's just not very good...
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I don't agree, HTC customers have always complained of battery life - but they have always been better than the samsung galaxy phones that I'm used to.

HTC announced they have made battery life a higher priority in this device.

I can't find the link, but they also said it should be 'upto' 60% better than sensation.

Comparing it to the Galaxy Nexus, technology wise - this phone should at least be better than that phone.

CPU has its 4+1 technology

SLCD2 should use less power over Amoled

Bigger battery over the galaxy nexus.

So at least, I expect it to better its competition in the Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC One X] Chartist:
HTC have embargoed all reviews until Monday. They are not going to be drawn into confirming or denying anything before then based only on unscientific impressions gained by a handful of users after only on one or two days usage. They will comment about battery life if the published reviews highlight there is a problem following several days controlled usage of the phone.

Hmm, when they show benchmarks, X-birds are singing and they are proud, but when they ask about battery, X-birds lose them songs !

From a member at OCUK:

"Had a play with the One X in CPW in London today, far nicer than i thought it would be. Feels light but not as light as my SG2, felt more solid though. The screen put my SG2s to shame, and the camera took some great photos, the ability to take pics while recording video was pretty neat as was the stereo sound while recording. The one I was messing around with had approx 25% batt left and had been used quite a bit, taking photos, BT and wifi on web browsing etc and was last put on charge around 22 hrs before I got my hands on it, dont think the battery for normal use will be an issue."
[HTC Sensation] Gstar2006:
Hi,

I'm in the UK and I bought my Sensation XE from Hong Kong and use it with a T-mobile sim.

The mobile seems to think it's Indian and I would like to change it to a UK or euro setup.

At present it has HBOOT 1.18 and has CID HTC__038 with ro.carrier HTC-India. Software number is 1.77.720.103.

I had to use locale app to change it from india to UK so that I could have a UK keyboard/dictionary and also receive UK news in the news app.

Now it's coming up to release time for ICS and I would like to make my phone so that it receives the UK version.

Is it possible to flash my phone with the most recent Euro RUU to do this? If I do will I still need to change the CID to HTC__001 and will the RUU change all the bits relating to India that show up when you run the CID Getter app?

I've tried running the RUU > "RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed" and it looks as though it will change my software version to a version lower than it is currently on. From what I have read on the thread > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193033&page=2 about "How to debrand...." I was under the impression I might need to use revolutionary to get S-OFF, change my CID to HTC__001 or HTC11111 run the RUU then put S-ON again or leave it off.

All just a little confused as to what's best to do.

Sorry for the long post with multiple questions.

I updated the Mrs Desire to Runnymede AIO without too much headache the other day so thought I'd look into sorting out my XE.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] Gstar2006:
Finally got there by myself.

Had to HTC Dev unlock bootloader. Flash recovery with 4EXT recovery. Use 4EXT recovery to flash an old ROM with HBOOT 1.17. Use Revolutionary to get S-OFF. Use RUU for most recent Euro GB ROM.

No have S-OFF, Unlocked bootloader, 1.18 HBOOT, Stock HTC european ROM. CID HTC__001.

Still no ICS update available when checking updates though :confused:

Stays well on my shorts. I cut off the top flap.

I also ordered the large spibelt. So far it's great. Stays snug on my abdomen and doesn't get in the way of my workout at all. I didn't think it would be possible to go running with my Note until I got this belt. But not as easy to switch songs.

Wish the Seido surface case + holster would come out already.
