[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
after you unlocked the bootloader with htcdev you go right to a recovery. reboot to bootloader and once it's in fastboot you run the flashing recovery command,reboot to recovery and follow the roms instructions. if were to try another rom you backup what you need then wipe/follow steps for the next rom. reason you skip rooting before an install is because nearly any rom you pick is already rooted
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
thank you that clears it up =)

one final worry is the RUU (what is it?) and phone version, should I just update everything prior to doing this stuff?
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
I would go ahead and update through settings before you root. (there's no reason not to really). As to whether or not you flash the leak, that's entirely up to you. I personally notice no difference.

The ruu (ROM update utility?) is a package that contains a complete update. (rom, kernel, etc.)

S-on/s-off refers to the security flag. HTC sets the flag to on which prevents the changing of radios (and splash screens, among other things) and makes other changes more difficult (though still doable, such as kernel changes).
[HTC Sensation] Mayhem00:
Hey, I just received my ICS update on Sensation XE FINALLY after all this waiting. Before you ask any questions: I bought this phone from Romania, it's not simlocked, it has T-mobile branding (software only: boot screen, default message tone, etc) and I say it's from Germany cuz the only english language I can choose from settings is "English (Germany)".
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Did you safe the update file?

If by "safe" u mean save, no, I didn't save it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Hi, i have a R800I 2.3.4 58 and an R800X 2.3.3, bot rooted and all bloatware removed (no overclocking on neither)

I cant play GTA3 or Ganstar Rio in the R800X because of the ultra slow framerate, but both games are perfectly playable in the R800I.

So is this speed difference is really the firmware difference between 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 or the hardware in both phones is a bit different?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coreyon:
My best guess is the sd cards you use have different read speeds. People generally overlook the fact that a slow sd card can slow your phone to crawling point. You should try swapping the cards and see if that makes any different.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
It was the same sd card, i changed to the R800I and i noticed the difference.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Yeah..I played them fine when I was on stock.. The thing is there is no way to compare the different models because they will always show different speeds. The models are all built the exact same. and 2.3.4 there are no performance tweaks or upgrades what so ever..so it's just a hit and miss kind of deal
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
do you mean 2 R800I can have different speeds even if they are the same model??
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightningdude:
Yes, for the same reason that some phones can overclock higher than others.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Even though they mass produce the phones the same in every way, there is no way possible that every single phone is exactly identical, so when you put software on a phone it's going to interact with the hardware and thus you have different results :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Unless I am mistaken I thought I read somewhere that Verizon underclocked the GPU in the R800x for battery life. If this is true that means R800x users GPU is running at a slower speed then all the other GPU Xperia PLAY users. Speaking on that is it possible to OC a GPU?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
No, they legally can't mess with any hardware since it would violate their own terms & conditions thus giving out non warranty phones from the box lol. Verizon doesn't even touch the hardware, it's all Sony..Wouldn't surprise me if they tried something idiotic like that though..Oh and not to mention it's false advertising and they'd get sued like crazy because we all know they wouldn't tell us they under clocked them
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
Ummm, it wouldn't be the first time that Verizon released a device that was underclocked on purpose. Verizon has before (and will probably continue to do so) artificially removed device capabilities (usually through software mods), as well as underclocked devices. This was really common back when Windows CE/Mobile was a dominant smartphone OS. However, a couple of Android devices have had this done to them as well.

I'm pretty sure that DoomLord found some code that he tried to test out on the GSM verison of his Play DoomKernel. Version 2013 had a small bump in GPU OC. Many people complained of system instability, so it was removed as of version 3013. It would be super awesome if we could make a realtime tuneable kernel for GPU OC (like we can with CPU freqs and voltages), but I don't think anybody has figured that out yet.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
GPU overclocking isn't gonna work on this SoC. The Adreno we have is basically running at it's max ability as-is.

You could add a few extra clocks, but it won't help much with performance, and you won't notice a difference. Or you could set it much higher like DooMLoRD tried, and end up with instability and bottlenecks instead. It's not worth the trouble.

Of you look at the Adreno 225, it's just an overclocked 220 made for newer SoC's that generate less heat.

But the 220 isn't an overclocked 205, it's a different architecture altogether.

There's a reason the newer chips have a newer architecture instead of an old one set to a higher frequency.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I am curious to know as to what exploit the G2X uses to gain privilege escalation aka root.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Use NVFlash to flash CWM. That's all you really need.

And you're probably gonna get bashed for posting in this section, so just make sure you don't do it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I'm already rooted! Your misunderstanding my question. I wanna know what local exploit the devs use when writing the rooting software. Is it a buffer overflow? Stack based? Heap based? Integer overflow? What program or process is exploited? I just want tobknow just in case ibwanna have a crack at writing one. Also, I figured this post should go here cuz it is a question for developers not general users.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Ahhh, I see. My bad then. In that case I hope a dev can help you out!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Still doesn't belong here IMO
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
I don't believe that there is an 'exploit' the lack of root on stock is one thing, root on a custom ROM just is, no security to protect some precious stock ROM with it's 'super secret special' crap. Otherwise unless one of the devs here has compiled a ROM straight from Google source, as opposed to CM source, they are a better authority. And if I wasn't clear enough, this is my opinion, something I am welcome to as a living breathing person, if you don't like what I say and want to try it, try it, see how far you get.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
@Волк, I was referring to stock rom. After you flash CWM, you use a root zip file to gain root on your device. I was curious as to how the zip file rooted the stock rom.

Something along these lines ---> http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-e...-against-the-cage-and-z4root-Android-exploits

@M3TG, no one asked for your opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
I believe you just answered your own question.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
Ik lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Shouldn't questions be in questions and answers :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
lol wowh there buddy...

first off, mt3g is right, this does not belong in development. just read the sticky at the top if you need a reference.

second, i think rageaginstthecage was not working on the gb 2.3.3 IIRC, and i think it was always just put into roms (even stock-ish ones) outside of the phone. (im most likely horribly wrong here, i never really looked into how root is accomplished)

either way, that link you posted pretty much answers your question
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
The root zip just contains the necessary files that allow access to /system and any root functions. No exploit. CWM is basically another OS that is meant to modify the primary OS directly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
I know the zip contains the necessarry files. That's obvious lol I'm not asking about CWM. I already know what it is, how it works, what it does. But I am pretty sure there is an exploit! How else is the program going to bypass the security precautions the system uses to prevent the user from accessing the system in the first place. I figured it was the same as a local privilege escalation on a Linux box.

But if rat in the cage doesn't work for GB. Then my question would be what exploit are the devs using when they write the root zip?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Nope, no exploit. Basically all the zip does is add the files required to switch users. The security is simply lack of binaries required to switch to root user.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Rageagainstthecage does work on GB. So do other methods. What exploits do you think superoneclick injects? The g2x bootloaders come factory unlocked
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
i know it works with gb, but i thought something broke it on the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
RATC works on GB? Oh, I was just going off what klathmon said, sorry.

Why does everyone keep saying no exploit is used kwes? Im positive one is definitely used. Just like Linux, you can't just add a root account with a regular user account! You need to be root in the first place! Just like RATC does. What other exploits are used kwes?

I didn't know the bootloaders come factory unlocked. Guess that's why there's no need for the s-off process with the G2X. Good to know!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Come on you two, really, android police? This forum has bigger fish to fry than a Guy asking a very intelligent question. At least he's not asking for mission donations. Mt3g, you're kinda on my team, but bro., I'm saying this as a friend, you do spout off at the mouth a lot. It just don't look good, you're not the mod, nor I or anyone else in here. Leave it to them, if I was the mod and i just saw your post I would purposely leave the thread here. It's human nature. With everyone rudely playing mod around here, I'm sure the mods just sit back and laugh at the immaturity. When a mod steps in and says "hey, this don't belong here, don't do it again or you're banned! " nobody says a word and the op obeys. When you or anyone else does it, the flamethrowers come out and we get another 50 posts of wannabe tough guys talking ****. DOC stepped in at the right time with owain and hell and handled it professionally, the mods are doing their jobs when there isn't 10 primadonnas pulling rank and making citizen arrests. I'm sure the flamethrowers will be lit after this post, hey, continue embarrassing yourselves.

artifintel@ACSyndicate
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Root account is there, just inaccessible normally. If you make a Linux box login to a regular user by default and remove su and sudo, you cannot really access the root account. The zip adds su back. Cwm is an external os that has full access to the all parts of the Android os, allowing for this to be placed in the $PATH. (/system/bin).

The exploit methods find ways to become root (glitch in graphics card driver on sensation) and place the binaries.
[HTC Wildfire S] raffobaghdo:
Hi, first off sorry if I am in the wrong section. If so can a moderator please move it? Thanks.. Anyways I got my Wildfire S from T-mobile back in November for free because it is on a 2 year contract. I like the phone but I just would like to upgrade to something better. (I can't stick with a certain item for long lol) Right now it's running Cyanogenmod with the bootloader unlocked but I think I have to switch it to stock. I'm not sure lol. How can I do that if I no longer have the stock rom backup? Can I just leave it with a fresh install of Cyanogenmod? Also am I even allowed to sell it? Would I have to notify Tmobile or can I just sell that phone and use my Tmobile Sim on a different unlocked or Tmobile phone? Last question, how much can I sell the phone for?

Sorry for the list of questions lol. The phone is in great condition with no scratches and it has a black case I bought from Amazon for 10 bucks that I will include. Also a 4GB Micro-SD Card and the wall/car charger. Also have the original box.

I would appreciate all answers. Thank you!

Why not sell it on xda, in the Marketplace forum. There are a lot of people wanting to buy or trade their phone....
[HTC Wildfire S] raffobaghdo:
I could have done that but I sold it to a guy from craigslist last night at like 3.00am lol. I sold it for $150 but I'll check the marketplace forum and see what phones I could buy. $150 is not much but hopefully I can buy something.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Mine is 28 C and I'm using phone for more than 2 hours, internet browser. If you tried differents rom and kernel and still nothing, I suggest you to clear up you phone. Reboot in recovery, mount and storage and format system, data, cache, factory reset, boot in download mode, flash stock ics rom, then root with cf root kernel. Then install again rom which you're using at the moment.

I9100 has the highest heat emission (my brothers 35 degrees)

I9100T is better (mines 28 degrees)

I9100G has the best i hear but i cant confirm that :P

The best you can do is find a good modem, as i noticed ever since i switched from LPQ to LP6 i've heated up a lot less

i also use siyah so i think that doesn't cause huge amounts of heating, as mentioned before always close apps

Hope this helped and good luck

As i know hesting up does not have to do with modem only kernel ?

Am i wrong :S
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamrock:
Oh no your not wrong, both kernel, and modem have to do with heating up, but the Siyah kernel hasnt had any complaints with heating, so that's what makes me think your modem is the problem

you will have to figure out, use instructions here

My SGS2 is going back for repairs due to overheating. It started by draining a full battery in an hour. Battery temp was 64C and now it heats up just by inserting the battery and not even turning on the phone. Not possible to charge it either. Tried flashing stock rom, factory resets but no go so my belief is that this is a hardware issue and not a software problem. Needless to say it has never been close to water or any other fluids. I got the phone about two months ago so hopefully this will be, and should be IMO, covered by warranty.

Will be interesting to see what the repair center says...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hodge24:
Hi,

My Wife's GS2 had a problem overheating recently too - it was stock ROM, not even rooted, so it wasn't overclocked. I pulled it apart, racking my brains trying to find the problem. I tried updating the the latest official ROM, updating the Modem, but nothing...

It turned out that her Internal SD Card was full, which must have been causing IO issues, and the the CPU to overwork or something, because as soon as I transferred all the photos etc. from the card, and cleared caches, it resumed running at a reasonable temperature.

Sometimes the answer is simpler than the one we're looking for - or it certainly was in my case.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 262542:
Hi...mine was heating up like hell too, and its 3 days old...

for me it was the facebook mobile application on samsung galaxy sII i9100 (ICS). Installed KH3 modem , no change .. but task manager showed 30-66 cpu usage...the top 10% surface of the face of the phone and the back of the phone near the camera was searing hot, somewhere up to 50-55 degrees Celsius, making a phonecall in those conditions was very uncomfortable, and i was afraid of hardware damage if that went on. So, If i shut it down and used facebook from browser, it cooled off back to 30-35 degrees in a matter of minutes. only mobile data was turned on, gps, bluetooth, wifi was always off.

So im guessing for these kinda heat-ups (top of the phone and upper back) it is app which drains the CPU...

Note : i had no problems with battery life, meaning it resisted 12h moderate/heavy usage even with facebook mobile app...but i always try to exit all apps when im not using the phone ( bad(?) symbian habit)

Hello! Tonight I replaced the touch screen digitizer in my phone because I had badly cracked my last one. The new touch screen works and the phone is fully functional now with the exemption that the phone now says it has no bars and it doesn't appear to be reading my sim card now.

Can anybody give me advice or insight into anything I might've done wrong re-adssembling the phone ?? Any suggestions for getting it working?? Im opening it up and re-connecting everything to make sure none of the connections were loose and thats not causing the problem. Also, using a different sim card did not help.

Edit: I reconnected the connectors on the motherboard and sim reader and it still is not getting service. I guess Ill continue to fiddle with it until somebody throws some better suggestions at me.
