Ahh sorry I didn't reply quicker, just got back from dinner. If you notice when you look at the build.prop file in Root Explorer, it will have "permissions" listed next to it. The permissions for the build.prop file should be "rw-r--r--" but rumgool's file has permissions "---rwxr-x"

When you copy it over to the system folder, click "Mount R/W" then paste/overwrite the build.prop file, then long press the file and click "Permissions." Make sure all three boxes under the "Read" column are checked, and also that the first box (Owner) under "Write" is checked, and everything else is unchecked, then press OK.

Then make sure the permissions for the build.prop file now say "rw-r--r--" and hit the "Mount R/O" button.

Let us know if that helps
[Motorola Droid 4] bdsullivan:
When you side load the update via stock recovery it goes through the file just like safe strap or clockwork would when installing a rom.

All I did to replace it was delete the old one from system and then moved the downloaded unmodified one back in the system folder with root browser rebooted then went back into stock recovery and flashed the update. I was a bit nervous when deleting the old one but it worked out perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 4] Stensin:
Hey! It worked! Previously I wasn't replacing the entire file, just copying and pasting the contents of rumgool's over mine. Then again, I was using Astro, and not Root Explorer. Thank you so much!

Will I have to go through a similar process when installing ICS when it comes out?
[Motorola Droid 4] jy3ng4:
Good to hear!

Hopefully not...I'm not sure what caused the build.prop file to be modified in the first place but a lot of people including myself had the same issue and it is a bit unusual.
[Motorola Droid 4] MekaByte:
In case anybody else has this problem, what I did was cut and paste the unroot script after the remount command in the root script and ran that. This finally cleared the botched root files, and I was able to re-root properly.
[HTC One X] rilorolo:
Hi there,

Something went wrong with my HTC One X. Now, I cannot get past the HTC splash screen.

I can get into fastboot and also in recovery (latest clockwordk recovery). What I can't do, is connect my phone to the Windows 7 computer to copy the ROM to the SD card.

Fastboot works fine and reconizes my divice, but I cannot see it as storage on my pc. The USB driver from the android sdk is installed.

What can I do? I Googled, but I just cannot find anything helpful
[HTC One X] dr9722:
It would seem your only option is to flash back to stock and then reroot.

Boot into fastboot and flash the stock recovery then relock the bootloader. After that download the RUU, boot into fastboot again and run it.

Once you are back up and running then unlock the bootloader again, flash Clockwork and flash your desired rom.
[HTC One X] rilorolo:
Thanks

Thank you!

After doing some research, I follewed the steps below and got it working again!

Flash original bootloader

forum_DOT_xda-developers_DOT_com/showthread.php?t=1594819 (use 1.28 stock recovery link)

Fastboot USB:

* fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img

* power down

Relock bootloader

forum_DOT_xda-developers_DOT_com/showthread.php?t=1578546

Fastboot USB:

* fastboot oem lock

The screen sais "Relocked"

* Power down

Flash RUU

forum_DOT_xda-developers_DOT_com/showthread.php?t=1543604 (first link)

Fastboot USB:

* Execute RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256469_signed.exe

(this might take a while)

When finished, the phone will restart - if not, restart manually

When started, the phone will update firmware and reboot (or reboot manually)

Thanks!

Is it possible that I can do this but flash the optus firmware instead of the European? firmware and is the recovery the same on optus as well?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightSky256:
Does anyone knows how to play Divx/Xvid videos trought DLNA default app ?

i have an home server (debian Wheezy) that offers some services.

I have MiniDLNA .24 Daemon on it, that permits my Samsung TV to play videos trought DLNA service.

I had an i9000 by Samsung that could also play videos or music trought DLNA.

Now with Xperia S i have a DLNA app by default (connected devices), with this app i can browse my DLNA resources but once i try to view a resource (jpg, mp3, avi or mkv) i always get an "Unrecognized Format" error...

why ?

is there a better DLNA browsing APP ?

i found BSPlayer, with that i can browse my SMB share on the server and play the media, but it's NOT DLNA... it uses SMB shares, that i would like to switch off sice i didn't have Windows machines at home...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sirksael:
It seems the default DLNA app does not recognise any alternative players on the phone.

I installed moboplayer app (for Divx/...) and UPnPlay app. UPnP works similar to the default DLNA app, but when you select a Divx video it allows you to choose where to play it, for example using moboplayer.

You can even push the video to a DLNA player, like WD live TV or DLNA compatible TV.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NightSky256:
Thanks, i got mad trying to define a working DLNA profile with serviio instead of MiniDlna for this phone, but it seems like the default player only work with MP2 streams (DVD format) even the x264 didn't work... it's really bad...

i will try UPnPlay, and if it works i will throw away serviio and restore MiniDlna wich is better for my Samsung TV and my sanity :P

I had a couple of questions regarding Themes and Theming.

I have flashed a couple different themes over the ROM I am running with no issues whatsoever. I was wondering, if I ever wanted to revert back to the basic theme that came with the ROM, what is the easiest way to do this?

Also, if I wanted to learn more about theming and how to do it myself, where is the best place to find information on the basics and how to start? Thanks.

easiest way to revert from what i know is to reflash your rom

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Usually what you do is to nandroid your stock and if you want to revert back, you restore the nandroid. If you don't have one of stock, you could try reflashing the ROM without wiping. It would restore all the old frameworks. I haven't tried this personally but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Nandroid before you try flashing the original ROM over yours.

To get started, master and slave has two theming tutorials over in themes and apps that are stickied.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purpler:
1) Hi, just bought myself GMS model and i read somewhere that every flash of custom/stock rom fully wipe internal storage, is that true? :confused:

Not sure why would it work that way but i guess its pain in the ass backing up/restoring 10 gigs of stuff from phone each time one decides to try new rom or go back to stock one.

2) I unlocked/rooted/flashed full stock 4.0.4 image last night with fastboot.

Need to know why there is no ability to mount internal storage as USB from within CWR

Can i flash full stock image (something-maguro.zip) via CWR instead of having to do it via fastboot?

3) I used 4Ext recovery while i had HTC Sensation, does it work omn GNex too or CWR is recommended recovery?

4) If i remember something else i'll fire away..

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
1) you need to wipe the data before a flash, but it does not wipe the sdcard partition. the only time the "sdcard" is wiped clean is when the bootloader is unlocked the first time.

2) there is no mass storage support on the GN. there might be a zip someone created in the dev forum to flash stock, but honestly, fastboot is better and just as easy.

3) if the recovery is actually named 4ext and someone wrote it, then no. it would have to be ported to the GN

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
I just wanted to know, what if the thief turns off the phone? Will the app still work and be able to locate my phone?

I don't know, but it seems to me the first thing a thief would do after stealing a phone would be to turn the phone off...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naria9:
Yes, but ideally they turn it on at least once thereafter.

It's called a last resort for a reason =P

Basically google play should almost always automatically install to that unique phone id when it's turned back on. The only thing that I've noticed changing this ID is major android software changes; like GB to ICS.

So theoretically, they will turn it back on at some point, or someone who buys it from this person will. Even a standard data wipe should leave it with the same ID.

Microsoft has a history of ****ing up successful lines , remember XP? They decided the time was right to migrate to Vista and cut off support to there "flagship" , that really worked out in there benefit considering more than half of all Windows users are still using XP , XP is 10 years old!!

Personaly I did migrate and am using 7-64 , but dumping the wp7 line for wp8 will alienate all of us who already got onboard , Im dev/interop unlocked , custom rom and if I cant get a custom rom with the update ,I will leave for Android and never look back , my Acer a500 is a year old now and it is better than anything being sold now because I can upgrade /downgrade do anything I want with it , the sky is the limit!

[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
Mmm yeah. It's still the most widely used OS in the world. Not sure how it's F'd up. My parents use it all the time. No complaints.

Mmm... If XP is any indication I will be using Windows 7 happily for years until I upgrade to whatever comes out after Windows 8. Windowss 8 is going to have zero impact on my computer use for years.

MS doesn't care. They sell millions of phones to a bunch of people that will NEVER update them no matter what they offer. The problem is this place is one big geek circle jerk. MS and Nokia want to sell phones to teenage girls and business people. As long as the phone looks cool and covers the basic functions both groups are happy. They are not 20 something male software developers. They just want to text, email, talk, check the weather and play angry birds. The business people also want MS office and some kind of enterprise email calender solution.

They don't want to flash a custom ROM or root a device. If you want to see how the average consumer interacts with tech check out my post HERE.

The majority of people I know think "Ice Cream Sandwich" is a desert. This may come as a shock but the majority of smartphone owners to do not hang out on XDA. They do things like go to the park and get some sunlight and fresh air.

Just to be clear, they didn't cut support for xp until midway through 2010, and this wasn't to abandon xp for vista. It was after windows 7 was released. They didn't "force" people to use vista, they released something far superior to it, THEN forced you to use it, haha.

Edit: thanks for the next poster correcting this, Microsoft still supports XP and will for two more years.

[Windows Phone 7 General] AndyFZ1S:

[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Doubt MS would keep two phone OSes alive at once, it is not worth doing so. Wasting resources :).

With Windows 7 newly installed, I probably won't upgrade until Windows 10 is available :)

I have read most of this thred and a couple of things come to mind that it seems are left forgotten. First off we already know windows phone is about to fork with support for low end smart phones. They would not go through all this work to leave them out in the cold with no updates. This leads me to believe that the reaosn MS isnt comming forward with either all or none of the phones will update is because some will go with the Tago esc route (older gen sub 1.4ghz etc) and some will go with Apollo esc route.

Whatever happens if we get the full bown update or not there will be support and updates to come and you wont be left in the cold so to speak. The real question is what way will they go? Will we all just have the cheap stripped down version or the full beans updates. This is in fact the only real question as it is pointless creating the fork if they are just leaving one as it is for ever.
