[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
There are loads of guides for rooting, look in general section most of them are pinned.

I suggest he reflashes the same rom that way there are minimal chances of any bugs but if he wants a custom rom then make sure you look for one that is very stable. Unless he wishes to learn how to flash and everything that comes with it. I warn it will become addictive.

For the stock roms go here and make an account. Then click on firmware. And follow the clicks... You can also find guides on there of how to do it. Basically how to navigate on the site, how to flash the roms on the site etc all on that site.

If you still want root and only root then search for cf root in android development. Chainfire has an extensive list of rooted kernals, the first post should explain everything, you may ave to read it twice ;)

Edit: Link

Edit: I just understood what you meant by that PM... I suggest you/ your friend sticks to stock and use the first link. However if you really want a custom rom, start with this[ (link arrived...:D) It is a Darky Rom from their website. Really all you will need is the DarkyROM 10.2 RE Odin ROM and you will be rooted. From there you can flash anything. However the link i provided is to their latest rom i believe and is meant to be fairly stable.

May i remind you that once you flash you will have lost warranty and support from Samung etc. Until you flash stock firmware back on. Also when flashing be careful and know what you are doing, it is all at your own risk ;)

I am trying to flash stock from and I downloaded the firmware from samfirmware and the file is a zip file, does anybody know what do I do with the .DLL file?

no use of .dll file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Can you give me the name of the firmware you DL from samfirmware, and if possible the link..

BUT really all you need is a .pit file and asingle .tar file. There may be 3 .tar files (code, modem and csc). The instructions should give you the information of where to put each or the files should be clearly named..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightslay2:
Apparently there was only one tar file. I already flashed the stock rom yesterday and flashed cf root. I also instructed my friend how to flash custom roms. It is all good now. Thank you!

[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
Was just wondering, once HTC finally update our devices to ICS, will developers be able to port over a fully working and bug free sense 4.0 or will there still be problems with the camera, etc?

Sense 4.0 looks to be a fair bit faster than 3.6 so hopefully developers will have all they need to port it properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Bug free? Probably not but they will be close to bug free.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
I love sense 4 so hopefully it'll all be sorted but i'm not sure due to the camera problems which have plagued this phone.

I really didn't see these problems coming before i bought it, research is going to be top of the pops for me next time i upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
I am 100% certain that yes, they will indeed be able to create a fully functioning, 100% bug free Sense 4.0 ROM for our EVO 3D's. The only problems now on the Virtuous Sense 4.0 ROM are Camera and Bluetooth, both of which will be incredibly easy to port over for the talented Virtuous team once an official ICS build for EVO 3D is leaked/released by HTC. I kid you not, if you don't need to use the camera or a bluetooth headset, that ROM is perfect as a Sense 4.0 daily driver.

Patience my friend, it will come ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
Awesome.. That was the only thing I was unsure about (whether the ICS drivers we'll get well work fully with sense 4)
[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
That's a gsm only rom though correct?

[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Yea seeing the only official sense 4.0 phone for sprint is an LTE phone, I doubt we will ever see WiMax on a Sense 4.0 ROM.

I would be thrilled if their was, but no need to get hopes up

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] meminiau:
Hey all,

Since the last official update on my Prime, it has been running crap. The touch screen is not very responsive, and the whole tab just feels slow overall :( A real pity coz I have been very happy until now...

So I was thinking about flashing it with one of the custom roms. I have a Galaxy Nexus and have flashed a heap of different Rom's and kernels, and it is crazy easy :D When I'm bored I flash! lol

After reading a bit on flashing the prime, it doesn't look as easy, OR AS SAFE. When looking I can't seem to find a foolproof way to set the prime up for flashing a custom rom, so I was wondering if others who have done this can post what is now viewed as the most reliable, safe way to flash a custom rom?

By the way, my Prime is absolutely stock, exactly the same as the day I bought it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ATGAdmin:
Depends on which version of 4.03 you're running. If you're on the latest ver "9.4.2.21" I believe you're SOL until they find an exploit for root for that version at the moment. If you're on any earlier version, you've got one of the easiest tools to root, unlock, and install CWM right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427125

;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kman79:
You can still flash custom ROMs even if you are on .21 firmware. I got my prime yesterday and was on .21, I also thought I was stuck, but there's a thread somewhere in these forums that explains the whole process. Not at home, so I can post the link from my bookmarks.

Essentially, if you are on .21 OEM firmware, you would need to unlock the boot loader, get into fast boot and push CWM recovery, and then flash one of the rooted ROMs via CWM recovery.

WARNING: Once you do this, from what I read, you can no longer flash any new OEM ROMs the standard way or you will brick the tablet, at least that's how it was last night when I was reading up on it, things may be different now.

Good luck

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flexte:
I know this may not be the best place for this but and I never rant but I am pissed and figured everyone in this forum has sprint as a carrier so i would like to get some feedback. Ill try to make this short and add to it if i get any responses.

I bought eh Evo on a 2 yr contract june 2010. in sept of 2011 i bought the galaxy 2. after 3 days i returned it due to LOS. at the time of purchase i asked the rep "if i return this phone will my contract date revert back to june 2010" he said yes. well i returned the phone and a week later when i called to check my contract date it had been changed to sept 2011. I explained the situation after being on the phone for hours and having to fax over receipts and call multiple times over a months period it was "resolved". in Dec the LOS was resolved so I paid full price for the galaxy 2 at Walmart so my contract date wouldn't change. I activated the phone called a week later to check my contract date and it was still june 2011. yesterday I called to add a phone to my line but out of curiosity i asked about my contract date and was told Dec 2011. I had to search for the receipt, fax it to sprint to prove I paid full prince for it and was on the phone for 2.5 hours 3 different times. I told them prove to me that I signed another 2 year agreement. finally I just hung up because it was unbelievable that the reps had to read my notes each time I called and didn't interpret it right. so i had to explain all over again. Finally some lady called me back and resolved the problem. I was so damn pissed and she kept saying please calm down sir i understand you frustration. I calmly said no problem Ms. just tell me how this happened and I will understand. she replied " it seems someone went into the system and changed you date for no reason". My question is would you stick with sprint knowing that this has happened more than once and i have to hold on to receipts on phones that a no longer own just to prove something that was supposedly resolved? I have the receipt for my evo because i still own it and for my second galaxy 2 because I still own it but now it seems i have to keep every receipt even if i don't own the phone anymore. The only reason I may stay is because Whenever i get a tmobile phone i go over 5gb in less than 2 weeks. They have me trapped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Unfortunately it seems like you added a line. When you add a line on sprint even if you are using your own phone, a new line comes with a 2 year contract with sprint, which to me makes absolutely no sense at all. If you had only switched the phone on to your current evo line the contract date should have remain the same, but from reading what you had wrote up there. It looks like you add a second line while paying full price for the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flexte:
Nope same number = same line. I used to swap out phones on a weekly basis by just changing the msl and some other number directly on the phone. and ike i said after a week or so after activating this phone i checked to make sure that my contract date didn't change and at that point it had not. someone had to have manually went into my account and changed it. the lady who finally resolved the situation even said someone did something the shouldn't have.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Yes both do support installing new programs, but you have to remember this is a ARM image therefore normal programs for 32bit or 64bit computers will not work, you have to make sure you get a problem build for the ARM processor, if you use apt-get than the sources used all point to ARM ported repository's (in the case of debian this is merged into there normal repository anyway) therefore if you can install it from there you know it will work

Thanks for the app. For me, all I want is a full featured linux server (I don't need any GUI). So I tried to install the ubuntu small image, and disabled the dbus / vnc server in the ubuntu.sh script, just trying to play around in the terminal.

Some problems I found:

1) Missing /dev/random , /dev/urandom, which causing sshd fails to start.

2) /dev/null is not a character device.

So I fixed both above:

rm /dev/null
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
chmod a+rw /dev/null
mknod /dev/random c 1 9
mknod /dev/urandom c 1 9

After installing apache2, and try to start it, it fails to start. From /var/log/apache2/error.log:

[Sat Apr 07 13:03:15 2012] [warn] pid file /var/run/apache2.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?
[Sat Apr 07 13:03:15 2012] [emerg] (38)Function not implemented: Couldn't create accept lock

Also, try to ssh to localhost (I confirmed sshd now running locally by checking with netstat -pan) or ssh to any other host, got this error:

root@localhost:~# ssh root@localhost
Host key verification failed.

Also, when trying to ssh from another computer to that linux instance in the same wifi network, I got the following error:

imac:~ user1$ ssh root@192.168.18.212
root@192.168.18.212's password:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

Please help. :rolleyes:

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Hmmm this are not problems I have run into before, your best bet is to check forums for debian etc, this problems are likely not limited to my builds.

Out of interested what do you plan to use the server for?

You could try the debian core image there is no GUI included so it might be a more stable base to work from
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] winst:
OK I tried the debian small image. Seems better, but still having the same issue with apache2 starting (tried with both worker and prefork packages, both having similar errors):

[emerg] (38)Function not implemented: Couldn't create accept lock (/var/lock/apache2/accept.lock.4882) (5)

Sounds like something missing in the linux kernel.

May be that sounds crazy, but I want to have a linux based LAMP server running in galaxy tab (8.9) for web development. Oh yes, I also got a galaxy note, that's why I see this thread.

That' the dumbest comment I've seen today realizing that Android and iOS (+80% of the smartphone market today) are both sort of Linux (/UNIX based) distros.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] devwithzachary:
Good idea, but yes looks like it could be, my method shares the android kernel it donst have its own kernel so this could be the problem, might have to talk with your kernel devs?

Well yes A android is a form of linux, and in fact I believe as of linux kernel 3.3 android is being merged into the main kernel.

But anyway the use of having a full linux distro? well why not? you could run the likes of open office, a real web browser and a whole range of other programs you cant in android

Audacity - resolved.

Yes exactly. For quite callrecorded files. The other side -of the recorded sound file - is very quite and have to compress then normalised under the effect menu.

That is the solution / workaround! THANK YOU very much!!

Meanwhile waiting for any advise, I also workaround the problem by installing "Debian KIT" from google play.

It is very similar to this project but DEBIANKIT not chroot debian (also latest UBUNTU) but debootstrapped.

I dont know the exact differences between chroot and debootstrap but the DebianKit much faster boots and works on my Note. And seems more integrated to android.

In Debiankit Ubuntu Precise, there was no problem at all with audacity just install and start and no error messages.

So I started to use Debian Kit and compare functionality and will use that app which is better suitable to my usage.

Im sure this -Linux on android - also has advantages over debootstrap based ones.

Regards,

Robert

Ps: Chechked, no sound during playing youtube.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] mscion:
Thanks for the info on Debiankit. Does the approach used in Debiankit allow for the transmission of sound. For example, while in Debiankit Ubuntu version, can you open a browser and listen to music on youtube?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development] robert1968:
Hi,

Debiankit uses RDP instead of VNC. (I dont know is RDP able to transmit sound)

With an accident cleanup movement I deleted deb starter script.... :crying:

So I will reocver/setup today and try what you ask.

BUT Im almost sure sound is not working in this kind of linux sandboxes because alsa not set up correctly.

I tried to play an audio file within audacity and say sound errors - alsa has problems.

So I guess Firefox / Youtube will also complain about Alsa.

Don't you try contact developer to set up sound correctly?

Regrads,

Robert
