Hi Everyone,

Anyone using the S5830L variant with UMTS 850 & 1900 on AT&T?

Does AT&T's system recognize the phone and automatically add a smartphone data plan? I'm thinking about getting one for a family member who doesn't need a data plan.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] secretasianman:
So nobody uses this phone on AT&T's network in the USA? Anyone? Anyone?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Ive not seen any AT&T ppl on here.

If the phone is contract then the contract will stipulate it and their site says they are compulsary. If its PAYG then it cant charge you if you havent any credit and you can easily turn data off. Otherwise I expect they will just charge standard daily fees.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] secretasianman:
I went ahead and purchased one off Amazon.

Instead of the S5830L model I received the S5830M model which has UMTS 850/1900 support.

Works great on AT&T's 3G network after entering the correct APN even though they don't recognize what model phone it is.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
The M is the same as the S5830i , so be careful

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] secretasianman:
Thanks. The phone is for a non-techie relative. It'll remain stock.

I can't seem to find the stock ROM for it anywhere (WHLA1) so I might try my hand at extracting it and creating an Odin flashable stock ROM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Just be careful in anything you do with this . ;)

We don't have much research on this so you're basically screwed if something goes wronf

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresgrant:
Last summer I rooted my color Nook using Auto Nooter 2.1. I plan to give this Nook to a family member and I am struggling to return this to it's factory settings. I have read and watch the instructions provided by The uNlockr-How to Restore the Nook to it's Factory settings. I get as far as flashing the SD card, however that's where things take a left turn. The file names on the downloads they describe are not in the current downloads I can find. I have downloaded and flashed the img file for 4gb_clockwork-0.7.tar.gz. When I look for the actual Nook restore files every discussion thread leads me to here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22809801&postcount=148 I've downloaded the large 200+MB file, extracted it... however none of the file names match the instruction per unlockr or the video:

[YOUTUBE]1B31y_lyHIA[/YOUTUBE]

Where am I going wrong? I have spent nearly 4 hours trying to navigate this Chinese maze? I'm sure that I have overlooked something but at this point I can't see it.

Any help to get me to this final destination I would greatly appreciate. I have a deadline of Monday afternoon to get this root righted.

First off... the files you download from the thread above are CWM installable.... don't extract them... place the one you want to use on uSD and flash it... After you flash it... the Power + n boot will return to factory with 1.4.1 update installed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresgrant:
Dizzy... Sincere thanks. Am I to assume that I should select the file romrestore.zip ? again all of the directions I've followed none have mentioned the use of this particular file. To make matters worse I downloaded a zip of nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip and the file is completely corrupted. I can't find a 1.4.1 version of the complete restore on available servers.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresgrant:
OK... my guess is that it not the correct file. I move the romrestore.zip to the nook power+ Nboot. reformatted system & data... fine. Installed romrestore.zip. "assert failed E:Error in sdcard/romrestore.zip. Installation aborted. Can someone give guidance on the correct file to install and where to find it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
You do not need the romrestore.zip.... just flash the file you downloaded from post 148 in the other thread... then if you reboot into stock recovery with power + n it will do the reset factory data.

The romrestore.zip file you are referring to was written to replace cwm recovery files with 1.0 stock recovery files... this is done with the 1.4.1 files I put together with that versions files.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresgrant:
Dizzy,

I appreciate you being patient with me but something is getting lost in the translation. Is this used in conjunction with the 4gb_clockwork-0.7img? I've used that to flash the SD card first. Then I've moved the entire 202MB nookcolor_1_4_1.zip to the SD card. Upon Power +nboot I come back to the same menu of options asking me whether I want to apply sdcard/update.zip. Each time the installation fails.

I fear I am mixing processes and files that don't belong together. Can you please just give me the simple steps (or point to them... post 148 doesn't explain what to do with those files). I'm batting 0 for 12 right now.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harrybub:
You sure are making this hard. If you will read the thread I linked in post#2 you will see just how easy it is.

It will take you back to whatever that Nook shipped with. Mine goes back to v1.3, my BIL's goes back to 1.0.0. Upgrades from there should happen automagically.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresgrant:
Your right. I was making this harder than what it was. I did take your advice and I tried the 3-finger reboot method. Eventually I was able to boot to the factory rom... but here is the kicker... the nook must be plugged into it's power supply (not running on it's battery) to hard reboot. Again, Google is both thy enemy and thy friend. I understand hacking doesn't come with a manual and these forums exist for the benefit of the community, by the community, but I've found so many incomplete instructions, bad file links, corrupted files... well I'm not really sure anyone can say they have the firmest handle on this procedure.

It's done though... and for the advice given here I'm grateful.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harrybub:
Glad it helped.

And for the record I have done this to 2 different Nooks more than one time and never had it plugged into the charger. It IS important to make sure you have a full battery before doing these things.

The good news is that it worked! :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
Grant... to answer your question... yes the files to flash 1.4.1 from CWM would be flashed from CWM (your clockwork imaged uSD)... you would just put the file on the uSD and boot it in the nook... install zip from card... select the file and let it flash... when its done flashin... power on holding n... allow it to do its thing and you'd be at factory 1.4.1.

The benefit of this method was you didn't have to flash to original and update... but since 1.4.2 has come out it would have to update anyway.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gryphon101:
Harrybub... when I do the three finger way, my nook brings up ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1

I need to reset factory settings, but this came up two times that I was successful with the 8 interrupted boot.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gryphon101:
I just started over, found I had a corrupted cwm, maybe... Also had Rom zip and GAPPs zip on the same card. Redid everything using cwm image on one card, then zips on a separate card. That did it!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
Just an FYI... having both zips on the card is not an issue... common practice is to have them both, along with other zips on the CWM bootable uSD... you just have to make sure of what zip you are installing from uSD.

even if i close all the apps (except android keyboard which is taking 11mb) available free memory is 130-140 mb only.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
That seems about right. I have about 140 free once everything has been set up(google voice always running). But you said the phone was running sluggishly. Have you installed any other apps that weren't on your phone before the update? My phone got the official OTA and was pretty fast even before I rooted it again. Last resort would be a factory reset.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lar5:
I came from GB 2.3.6 and upgraded to ICS 4.0.3. (no root/mods)

With ICS 4.0.3 the average free RAM was around 70-90 MB. After demanding programs everything felt a little sluggish for a few moments. The biggest problem was the launcher (Nova) that often would redraw all the icons.

With the 4.0.4 (also stock) i had 80-90 MB free and everything ran noticeably smoother.

Then i rooted and flashed the Matr1x kernel. Now i typically got around 120-150 MB free.

You need a custom rom. CM9 V6 works the best for this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399035

Basically when you install this. It just installs a new system which basically wipes all the useless crap you dont need on the stock rom. Also if that doesnt help. Try the free astro manager and its modules. It basically allows you to enter your phone data and SD card. And research on what to wipe and not to wipe.

Also if you dont mind. Wipe dalvik cache. It wipes your application data. I highly recommend you to research on wipe dalvik cache and cache.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdutta:
is it possible that available free ram is less bcoz of cached apps.

GB didnt use cached apps unlike ICS
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglergab:
It is not particularly wise to draw far-reaching conclusions from the size of free RAM, in particular on Linux based systems.

Some used RAM can be anytime freed if necessary (cached/buffered/shared), otherwise it will enhance the general responsiveness of the system.

The Linux kernel manages RAM great, so you shouldn't worry about free RAM, unlike on Windows systems. If the system needs more RAM, Android will find the best possible way to produce it through removing really unneeded processes and services from RAM.

It can happen, that it seems you've got no free RAM, still the system is pretty responsive.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
Having greater than 100 MB free is enough to create a smooth experience. Actually the more RAM your phone is using for recent apps, the better the experience is since your phone doesn't have to keep loading all of the app data into RAM. On the contrary, I would think the more RAM is used the less loading and therefore quicker app launching.

More RAM does not equate to a faster phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven676:
That said, if you're looking at the memory display in "Running processes" in the Android settings, memory used for file cache or by cached background processes counts as "free".

In my experience, ICS does tend to use more memory than Gingerbread, but not so much so that it's a problem. I do run with 64 MB swap, which makes no appreciable difference to speed either way, but reduces the number of launcher restarts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1n0m3n:
I usually have 50 to 60 MB free. My phone is very smooth at all times.

Welcome to the EternityProject's Motorola RAZR Bootloader Bypass Thread!

What do we have today?

Kexec. After working with a really good developer,

[mbm]

, finally this has become real.

Linux boots Linux. No signature checks.

Yeah, this is the beginning of custom kernels :)

Oh, remember that this is still a WORK IN PROGRESS!

Known issues (to be solved):

- CPU1 doesn't come up.

- It fails on (some?) CDMA Droid RAZRs :(

ToDo (by priority):

1. Fix CDMA Droid RAZR problem

2. Fix CPU1

Disclaimer:

The EternityProject and [mbm] aren't responsible of anything you do on your device: if it explodes and kills you, or if it comes to life and becomes something like Terminator, it's YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY.

Plus, prior complaining that it doesn't work, use a STOCK MOTOROLA ROM. Thanks.

Tested on:

651.167.19.XT910.Retail.en.FR

651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU

65.1.40.XT910.MERetail.en.06

651.73.250.XT910.Brasil.en.BR

65.1.40.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03

65.3.106.XT910S.SKT.en.KR

Installing:

1. Copy the package on your internal memory / MicroSD

2. Boot the bootstrap recovery

3. Install it via that recovery.

Booting with kexec:

Open a terminal emulator or ADB and enter this:

su
sh /system/bypassme/bypassme.sh

Then wait for 10 seconds to jump over the new kernel. Now your device will vibrate and apparently freeze. Wait a minute and you'll be on the new kernel ;)

You can also set the script above to be automatically executed at boot time or to be a one-tap script with apps like Script Manager.

Video how-to by therazrguy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o2j543IOMc

In case of freeze:

VOLDN+POWER (press for ~10 seconds) will hardshutdown your device. If it freezes during the kexec boot, retry. Sometimes it can happen.

In case of slow-like-hell device:

Install SetCPU or AnTuTu CPU Master and change your governor from 'mot_hotplug' to 'ondemand'.

Note:

If something is not working, please remove anything that is automatically running at boot, like auto-recovery and the "Set on boot" option of SetCPU or AnTuTu CPU Master.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jessel0001:
Only the return of the glorious days of flashing custom kernels with extreme over and under clocking and over voltage changes. Back in the day of the OG droid you could squeeze every ounce pf power out of that CPU. They advertised it as a 600MHz CPU but some of the kernels were over 1200MHz. That's what KEXEC can do.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] positivehxcgo:
Does this open the possibility to revert backwards onto GB for those who want to?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jessel0001:
You wouldn't be reverting back. Your actual kernel would still be the ics kernel that would be bypassed in to a custom kernel. If a dev wrote a kernel compatible with cm7 then i don't see why you couldn't use it. But that's only if some one writes a gb custom kernel. With the functionality of cm9 i don't see why anyone would want gb back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Actually, there is a locked version of the original Droid (the GSM Milestone) and it can be overclocked using kernel module without a need for a custom kernel. My understanding is that this has also been achieved on the RAZR - it just needs further development. Just please note that Droid/Milestone is underclocked by default (from the recommended max clock of 720 MHz to 550 MHz), while RAZR is overclocked 200 MHz beyond the max clock given in spec sheet. Thus, I don't believe that it it's possible to achieve a stable overclocking and/or undervolting setup.

Nonetheless, kexec is a brilliant hack and gives huge potential.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Over- and underclocking is already available with Whirleyes kernel modules. It's not that much, but still good. A custom kernel would do much more than that (was that correct English?? :D). It would also safe a lot of battery while increasing performance.

This is what a custom kernel supporting Linaro/ oc/uc and ov/uv does to the nexus 7 on the stock JR003D image. I'm sure you can imagine what will happen when a fully Linaro based ROM is released.

While we may not be able to flash radios/updates from different regions atleast we can optimize our devices a lot. The new ICS support looks exciting and hopefully they can get all the issues ironed out and have it running smoothly. I was thinking of getting rid of this RAZR and switching to an HTC/Samsung as after using a Nexus device, switching to a device with a locked bootloader just feels sad. Perhaps I will hang on to it for a while and see how things pan out now. Keep up the great work!
