[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdrogers84:
If i use FAQ #3 will that get me out of distortion on boot and recovery? why and why not?

or is FAQ #1 my only option if I want to stay with GB?

....but if i go back to 2.2, boot and recovery will not have rainbow distortion?

THanks for all the help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Question #3 in that FAQ has nothing to do with GB bootloaders. Follow the answer to FAQ question #1 as I've noted before. The only way to get the bootloaders and get rid of the rainbows is to flash the bootloaders.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdrogers84:
...so to be clear about this i dont need to wipe prior to a bootloader flash? as this would be very tough with rainbow distortion. And why is it that wiping isnt necessary?

what about prior to flashing kernels?

Im just trying to learn the safe practices. But it sounds like as long as you have good bootloaders you can get out of any mess.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
You won't have to wipe anything, because when you flash bootloaders you aren't flashing a partition that has to do with system files, etc. If you've already had success flashing other things in Odin and you know Odin works well for you, you would do good to just flash the GB bootloaders and be done with it. It's not as hard as you seem to be making it on yourself. Also, this thread is about rooting UCLB3; that's why you won't get too many quick answers about flashing bootloaders here. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdrogers84:
Thanks for the response with added detail exactly what i was looking for!

I did flash the bootloader last night and it took like 2 seconds after i hit flash. Haha i thought it cant be that easy. Then i used sgs to flash entropys dd.

Thanks the extra info it is great to learn what is going on when you flash some of these things.

When asked to enter access code, I enter it, it shows correct on screen, but I get the message code error with some digits doubled. In other words when it repeats my access code and says instead, say 1234#, it says 12234# or 12334# even thou it shows on the screen 1234#.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Though I don't have the answer for this, you can help the people who would be able to answer it with giving some more specifications on how your phone is set up.

Such as Rooted/Unrooted. Rom/Kernel/Modem.. Etc.

The ideas I have are only checking the PRL and such to make sure they are up to date though it seems like it would most likely be a modem problem.

[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
I've had my suspicions about this since I first got the Droid X2. I think it may be possible for much of the lag many (most/all?) people experience at some time or another.

As a test, I can check free RAM in Advanced Task Killer when I first boot up the phone, and it will hover somewhere 150 megs with all user processes killed.

Then, when I check after 24 hours of constant use (with intermittent charging periods) I will struggle to get 100 megs with all user processes killed.

Finally, if I reboot the phone, I will be able to obtain a decent amount of freed-up RAM again.

Anyone experiencing anything similar?

Now, I must mention, I'm operating under the assumption that the X2 does not cache apps or files in the RAM. I suspect there is too little RAM at such a minimal speed to be able to clear RAM fast enough in the event that something non-cached is called on. I mean, even Microsoft was slow to use this cache method, as they first introduced it in Windows 7. A good example of this in Windows 7 is if you check the Task Manager, you will see that roughly only a quarter of your RAM is ever actually labeled as "free", even if you currently have no programs open or are using minimal amounts of RAM.

And it certainly doesn't feel as if the cache is working as intended if Motorola did infact implement it on our phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
I have contimplated over this for quite some time and have also came to the same conclusion. But the real question is: What can we do about it?

Most likely nothing.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Not sure of this is actually the case but when V6 is ran for instance it does talk about cached apps and gives an "actual" free ram reading. I would guess that zepplinrox would not have worded it that way if it was not the case but I have no real evidence either way.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
This did happen to me when I ran Advanced Task Killer on cm7. I'd start with a very good 190 free ram (insane I know) and after a few hours I'd struggle to brake 110
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
This is the nature of Android and Linux in general. When you start an app (or a process), it will remain in memory until it is cleared by the OS. The problem with task killers and Android 2.3.x and above is this: Android 2.3.x and above RESPAWN the killed task since the OS did not kill it. Plus, there is no way to FORCE to OS to kill an app that is in the background. What Android does is renice the process until it is a positive number, greater than 1, then it kills the process. Android 2.3.x was designed to "auto manage" those tasks. If you run htop from an ADB session and launch apps and use the back button to back out of them, you will notice that the amount of free memory diminishes. Then, after sitting for a time, the amount of free memory slowly begins to increase. When an app that requires a bunch of memory is launched, the Android will kill those background apps to free up more memory. In theory, it is a great way to manage the memory. In this respect, apps that have been launched in that past will start up faster. Personally, I like having control over things. You could possibly write a script that will renice a process to something like +20 and then Android will kill it automatically, but that would be a very risky prospect as it might kill RUNNING foreground apps as well.

Hope this little explanation helps!

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] PetrichorXFi:
DX2 Version History lesion / Android Process Cache

Your question is a bit complex. See back when Droid X2 first was released it had 2.2.3 for most users, and didn't have very good application memory management. This was the start of many applications such as "Advanced Task Killer" that you mentioned. These apps were supposed to help in closing apps that were running all the time.

Things changed a bit with the Gingerbread (2.3.3) release. This initial release made the Droid X2 useable. In my opinion the DX2 prior to Gingerbread was nearly a brick! I had many reboot issues, FC, connection issues, GPS issues, etc. With 2.3.3 many issues were eliminated, while others were reduced enough that they didn't bother me TO bad.

2.3.4 came out to fix battery issues largely...

Now I realize you weren't asking for a history lesion, but it is useful to know these things to know where things were and where things are today. I am currently running 2.3.5/412 and have been for months. I can say from experience, Android DOES cache background processes. I thought it did back in 2.3.4, but i can't remember... I don't think it did back in 2.2.x or at least the OS didnt' inform the users via GUI.

Your question about performance though? Yeah the DX2 is crap! I love the physical layout, but it has MANY issues with performance... some have been reduced by doing build.prop edits, yet I have realized that many who post these edits have posted wrong.... for example, they are increasing the buffer sizes thinking this will help internet speeds. This is super complex, but Google "Buffer Bloat" and you'll see how larger buffers often mean greater throughput, but MUCH greater latency....

simply put... big buffer == faster download of individual files.... smaller buffer == slightly slower download but MUCH more responsive

I'm not sure if that answered your question or not... let me know how I did or if I just rambled perhaps =P

[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
Hi all, my first post here.

Just got my Desire S this last week and have been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride. To sum it up:

Got phone

Discovered phone to be 1.47.401.4 with HBOOT 0.98.0002

Temp rooted with fre3vo

Used Revolutionary 0.4pre to S-OFF phone

Installed ClockworkModRecovery

Installed SU

Checked for updates and discovered OTA firmware update available

Tried to upgrade via OTA update but failed due to it not being compatible with CWMR

Tried to update using a 2.10 RUU but got stuck in a bootloop

Reflashed CMWR and restored my backed up pre-RUU install system

Flashed stock recovery from 1.47.401.4 RUU

Tried to upgrade via OTA update but failed due to stuck in bootloop

Flashed CMWR and restored system

Created a gold card and tried to return to stuck using 1.47.401.4 RUU but failed because RUU said nothing I was already at 1.47.401.4 :-/

Restored stock recovery, stock radio and stock HBOOT

As far as I can tell this should put me back where I started with the phone, other than having the superuser binaries in place.

My HBOOT looks normal (0.98.0002) and the radio restore went fine and the stock recovery is in place (Used bootloader to start recovery and got /!\ icon (I'm guessing because no OTA zip on device right now?)).

So, will it be safe for me to try and OTA now with a good chance of success?

If I get stuck in a bootloop will I have any way to recovery?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
My advice, is to immediately stop trying to do OTA updates, as all you'll achieve is a locked down phone that can only be unlocked by HTCdev which will limit you

Use revolutionary to unlock s-off phone, flash a custom and never look back

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
Right, but that doesn't actually answer my question.

Also, I was under the impression that a bootloader unlocked with HTCdev can have a custom recovery image installed much the same as an S-OFF bootloader can.

What limitations are you talking about.

I don't particularly want to use a custom ROM because I am pretty happy with the basic Sense experience so far.

I have seen that there is a thread providing rooted "stock" roms but I want to know all my options, including OTA.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
HTCdev unlocked phones aren't able to flash their boot partition from recovery, which means you'll require to seperately flash boot.img through fast boot every tine you change roms

You aren't able to change radios unless you're s-off

Look at the ROM that I'm on which if stock sense 3.5 plus lots of quality additions, stunning

As I said don't worry about ota just wait for the update to come then custom will be made from it that will be better

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
I'm a bit wary of custom roms. My previous phone was a SE X10 Mini Pro. Terrible phone with terrible stock software and most of the user-made roms for it are no better. The phone is only decent with a specific CM-based mod and other than that it was the pits.

I've been pretty happy with the basic Desire S rom so far. Is there anything which can honestly be classified as "must have" about any of the custom roms out there?

I'm quite happy to wait for the official ICS update and my wife will certainly rest easier knowing that I'm not about to totally mess up my new phone...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
see this thread for evidence of the quality of the two best custom roms on this device

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597729

The endymion ROM that I'm on is sense 3.5 so a step ahead of the sense 2.1 or 3.0 that you have used.

These roms are super stable, more so than stock.

Read the thread of the ROM for details see links in my signature

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
I see. You still haven't answered my original questions though:

Can I use an OTA update at this point?

If something goes wrong, what options do I have for recovery?

If I do decide to install Hyperion then thanks for the info on it but for now that's not actually what I'm asking...

Also, I have another question to add:

If I do decide to update via the official OTA update and then root my phone would I still be able to restore my HBOOT via the method described in this post. I used the described method to return my HBOOT from the Revolutionary version to 0.98.0002 with no issues but would the same trick work with the newer HBOOT? If the phone were updated via OTA and the HBOOT restored in this method would the official rom still boot (I ask because I found that even when I was able to get the OTA installed by restorting the stock recovery it bootlooped and I suspect this was becauce the OTA did not update the HBOOT...)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
He answered this question with first post.

But, what the hell do you want to achieve?? You have your device one week and messed it up more than I did in 10 months.

you cannot root and still get official ota updates. It's not possible. And anything you can get through ota update can be found here on xda too.

Please tell us what you want to do and remember that you cannot mix up rooting and ota updates.

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
Okay, this is really simple:

I want to be able to perform the OTA ICS update when it comes out.

I am not particularly interested in running a custom rom. I had my fill of non-working hardware and random instability with user roms for about 6 months with the X10 minipro.

Due to changing financial circumstances I need to be careful with this phone because if it dies or gets bricked I am not going to be able to get a new one that costs more than R500 until my next contractual upgrade which is going to be happening in 2 years time. I would prefer to have a useful phone for the next 2 years rather than a dumb block with no ability besides incoming/outgoing calls.

That means none of the horsing about I did with my X10 minipro.

You may now say "Hold on, why did you root your rom in the first place then?" and I can answer "Force of habit from using that X10 minipro which was terrible unless rooted and updated with a custom firmware and even then it was a pain".

Look, if you guys can honestly tell me in that XYZ custom rom is the best way to ensure that my phone stays in a working condition for the next 2 years and gets some form of update to ICS that works 100% and is stable then I will go the custom rom route.

My custom rom experience on the X10 minipro was not all bad, just mostly so which gives me pause when it comes to doing any more monkeying about.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Okay, no I can understand your worries and fears. And also what you where doing.

situation similar to me, I could afford that phone only with a 2 year contract, so I'm f*cked up if I f*ck it up :-)

I had to go back to my Sony erricsson Walkman handy if I mess up the desire s.

Let me tell you something:

I think all roms offered in the development section are build very well. There are some unstable roms, but that is due to the lack of kernel 3.0.

but I can really tell you for sure that endymion (I'm talking about that one because it is the best/most stable sense 3.5 ROM out there for our device) is the most rock solid ROM you'll ever use. It has 100% fully working hardware, just like stock. And I am really talking about 100%, not 99 :-)

and it offers much more functionality than stock, due to allot of performance improvements and tweaks, that make it much smoother and stable than stock. I never had a reboot, freeze or anything like that in 4 months of heavy usage. You really can rely on lowveld and his work.

Of course you should be careful, it's an expensive device though.

I'm double reading everything and am very careful too, but I managed to never have any problem I couldn't solve myself. (forgot wipe before flashing etc... Nothing bad)

If you make a clean, correct install, there is nothing better you can do and you'll play a safe game.

BUT you will not be able to receive ota updates.

anyways, when the ics update is been released for our device, there will be a huge amount of roms based on that update. maybe this will be even before you can receive the update over the air. You will for sure be able to upgrade to ics, without using the ota update.

And those roms will quickly become same stable because of the kernel 3.0 will be available than.

That text was really hard for me, because of my limited English skills.. That's all I learned-by-doing

I hope I could help you a little bit :-)

PS: endymion is what stock sense 3.5 should have been.

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
Thanks for the info guys. I guess I will give Endymion a try and keep my fingers crossed :-)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Tell us if you succeeded and how you like it :-)

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
Thanks, will do.

BTW, which recovery should I should for flashing Endymion?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Whichever recovery you have installed.

4EXT is the most popular here but a lot of people still use Clockwork Mod recovery.

If you don't plan to use recovery a lot then just stick to what you have. If you do flash a lot, like a lot of the people here, then you might like to use 4EXT touch for a nicer interface. Either way, it doesn't make a difference, both will end up achieving the same result.

If you haven't got a recovery installed all you have to do is download either ROM Manager or 4EXT Recovery Updater, install the app and flash the recovery. You probably know this though!

Anyway 4EXT can be found here:

http://4ext.net/

The paid version is available in the play store and CWM can be found in ROM manager from the play store.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I'm using 4ext but cwm does the job too. And you also can change the recovery later though.

[HTC Desire S] OOPMan:
Thanks for the advice guys. I installed Endymion this morning with no issues and am finding it very nice :-)
