Why would he want to do that? The general concensus is that the update is non-destructive, and pretty beneficial (improves battery life, etc).

Just make sure to download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...keeper&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

to keep a protected copy of root, restore root after the update, and you are good to go!

Yep, the first time I drop in exactly one year of ownership I dropped it. Of course it landed flat on the face and shattered it. Here is where I get really mad. I bought a new screen with the frame from ebay. The place I got it from is in Norcross GA, I live in Cumming GA. (about 30mins way) Just north of Atlanta. I ordered it on Thursday night, it ships out Friday USPS First Class... I was pretty excited when I went to check the mail Saturday figuring the obvious, should only take one day to get to me. Well It's not in there. :mad: I checked the tracking and for some IDIOTIC, STUPID MFing reason it went to Mobile freaking AL to a sorting facility... :mad::mad::mad: WTF??? Mobile AL is like 5 hours away from Atlanta GA. Why? why? why? It is now Tuesday and I still have not got it. PISSED! I hate the United States Postal Service. Sorry had to vent somewhere. lol

I bought a USB DVD drive from Amazon, shipped by USPS, tracked it. Left USPS in Cal via FedEx to Birmingham, Al to USPS office in Roebuck. If you want it quick they use FedEx and UPS. :-)

When I format my SD-EXT on 4EXT it erases all my information on my SD-card. When I try to install Runny Rom v5.5 it gets stuck on the SD partition part. I do a battery pull and check my SD card and all my files are gone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANCAH:
You don't say if you have two partitions on your SD card or not. You've got to have two partitions otherwise you won't have it working properly. The first one should be normal FAT32 and the second one EXT3 or EXT4 depending on the requirements of the ROM you want to flash. The best way to achieve this is to use gParted on a normal PC. Then you can use 4EXT on your phone to manipulate the SD-EXT part of your SD card, eg formatting it or converting between different types of EXT partition. This is the part where your apps data, cache, actual apps, dalvick cache etc. will be kept depending on your settings. Leave FAT32 partition alone.

If you are installing your ROM from the phone then the necessary file should be placed in FAT32 partition. Just remember the path where you copied it. You will need this when you use 4EXT to install the zip file.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Make sure you have two partitions: FAT32 + EXT4 (size at least 1 GB). Also make sure that they are correctly aligned.

I've searched this question in the forum and couldn't find it.

I want to put a custom rom on my galaxy ace GT-5380L, but all the roms available are for GT-5380. I tested some roms made for GT-5380 and they work, but I don't know if there is any difference beside the modem for south america.

I also tested 3G on this rom I mentioned and worked fine, but I want to know if there is something I'm not finding.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Pepper95:
Only the Módem, is basically the same you can flash all the roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] salaesp:
I tested a custom rom and I could use 3g without changing the modem, that means that I don't have to change the modem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Pepper95:
When You flash a rom it doesnt change the modem so You dont have to change it :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] salaesp:
I didn't mean change the modem physically, but to change the driver in the new ROM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amd-dude:
No you don't need to do anything...I have the same " L" version and I was hesitant as well to start flashing ROM's but I've flashed over 10 so far and everything works.

Don't worry about it go crazy :D

[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnM109R:
Well guys this is what I did... OTA Voodoo did not work to unroot for... me so I started from scratch... At 403 9.x.x17 with NVFlash that I have Lucky me with B50... :) then took the new OTA update ICS update v9.2.1.21......Butttt Now when pressing the Volume Down and power and then press up it goes into Asus Recovery.. but with the android lying down with an ! over him...ViperMod does not see the the tablet at all...Sooooo Now I guess it's a waiting game to root again..:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
The Android with ! Is your stock recovery. It doesn't do anything except handle official update file.

I would just nvflash to .17 root it and wait for a cwm version of the new.21. Usually a day or two most till a dev make a cwm version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnM109R:
Thanks Base :) I can wait not going back... :) Just thought I was doing something wrong

really :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] farsight73:
Yea.. I just killed my DMclient so no Asus update notification harrassing me around..

Will wait for the CWM update for v9.2.1.21 to come.. It's the safer way to update when we have CWM installed and running under v9.2.1.17 at the moment..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oifi:
what about flashing .17, root it, install ota rootkeeper, update and recover root?

just don't flash a custom recovery before updating via OTA
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnM109R:
Did you try what your saying... and did it work ???
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
There's a lot of peoples in the "firmware update" thread reporting that it work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnM109R:
Well I got it going as the above said....But after restoring root from Voodoo..that was ok but when I got to install gnufabio one click RecoveryInstaller it says i'm not rooted but I am...Now what LOL ?

Everything is working fine so far the only thing that bugs me is no CWR....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Try this, look in system/xbin to see if you have an su there. If not look in system/bin and copy the su from there and paste it to system/xbin
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JohnM109R:
Yessss thats what was missing.... Thanks So Now I can confirm that this procedure works Great Thanks... Baseballfanz and oifi..:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gr8Danes:
Ok, would you be able to guide me through the same? I have the same problem. No recovery and no root after .21 update.

I checked my system/xbin and I have su in there. Also in system/bin. I tried using root explorer to copy it over anyways, but can't mount R/W.

Any other ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] corrifa:
Hello XDA!

I was curious if it's possible for there to be a 2.2 based build off of AOSP.

-I prefer the look and feel of froyo over gingerbread and ics (call me crazy)

-I have noticed another thread about donut but froyo is much more recent than 1.6

-This could be impossible

--I probably sound like a typical 15 year old

Any replies would be helpful!

Thankyou!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Since froyo was never on this phone that would probably be pretty difficult, you could always use a more recent cm7 build and find the theme called retrodroid it will make it look like 2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] corrifa:
Yeah I am aware of RetroDroid and I just dont think it provides a complete feel of froyo.

I was wondering if its possible to take all the changes and modifications from cm7 and just compile for cm6

Haha chill dude. I wasn't asking someone to do it...

I was asking if it was possible, that's all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rdannar:
I'm chill. Nothing about my post shows anger. Just confusion

There are a handful of people that can probably do it in this forum.. just nobody will. Easiest thing would be to smali edit gb to have same look and menu layout. You would have to resize a bunch of stuff. You should try the online kitchen to make a theme then smali edit the files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] corrifa:
Ok Thankyou! That's the kind of answer I was looking for! Not that I know what smali is but hey, as long as I have google and Odin ill be fine!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ArtificialMusik:
I do believe Froyo doesnt support dual core processor phones, so it would be a feat if anyone was able to do it. I really honestly recommend just themeing it to look like Froyo over anything. The APIs for certain apps are also present in 2.3+ so I'd honestly say just to stick with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rdannar:

2012-0508 - updated some fastboot links/info, adjusted the link to efrant's newer yakju posting, and clarified and updated some other info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Cant believe there are no replies on this post, thank you for this!

My galaxy nexus arrives next week, can I flash takju from the start instead of doing a factory reset, the phone is supposed to be untouched

Also, which drivers are needed? Should I just plug my phone and wait for windows 8 to install them automatically?

I'm not doing a backup , do i need to be rooted or have the bootloader unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff72k:
I did the factory reset so that my original yakjuux clockwork backup was a clean backup. I do not think you need to do a factory reset.

There is another thread here about yakju where they mention information on the drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391881 I updated the top of post 1 to point driver and fastboot questions to the excellent yakju posting linked above.

You do not need to be rooted. You do need your bootloader unlocked, which is mentioned in the instructions in post 1 above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triunetehk:
tested and confirmed to work!

(I was getting too impatient waiting for 4.0.4 on my phone!!!!)

Also, these instructions are freaking brilliant! So simple, and concise... made the whole process a piece of cake....

Missing wallet and movies

I've followed the steps listed in the post. The phone works fine but is missing the wallet app and the movies app (actually the apps are present on the phone but don't show in the launcher. Just imagine the exact screen shots from above but with those two icons missing.

When I use adb and check in system/app I can see the Wallet.apk sitting there so I'm not quite sure why it doesn't show. :mad:

Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff72k:
Perhaps apply all updates, and then do a reboot.

If that doesn't help, check the md5 checksome of your original image file is correct and then reflash.

yes....even i was going through same issue's.... but i did it

[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
so people have asked me a lot, here is what you do if your device is S-ON

You NEED AN EXTERNAL SD CARD

1- Download the ICS RUU and rename it "PH85IMG"

2- put in external sd card

3- Relock bootloader by typing - " fastboot oem lock"

4- once your bootloader is relocked you will be able to apply the update

:D any questions feel free to ask

NOTE

if you don't have anything unlocked

you just put it on to your sd card. Either ext_sd or sdcard2 in astro

Pull battery,

Put battery back in <---important

hold down volume down then hold power until you go into hboot.

After that it does everything for you.

If you have music or pics on your phone, put them on your pc or they will be deleted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
Might I add if you don't have anything unlocked you just put it on to your sd card. Either ext_sd or sdcard2 in astro

You do not need a pc to upgrade to ics!!!

It can all be done from your amaze!!!!!

If you have music or pics on your phone, put them on the sdcard or they will be deleted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] theremix:
So If I just got my Amaze ( I did, last night) and done nothing to it meaning completely stock, do I just put that file onto root of my external sd and boot into bootlader? ( I have S-On)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
I fixed it for you :D

Very important step.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dq224:
Would I lose my root with this process??
[HTC Amaze 4G] ksocoolwitit:
what program are you using to type the " fastboot oem lock" ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dq224:
I think its fastboot so you would connect you phone to the pc and put it in the bootloader screen
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
type in "cmd" in your search if your using windows, then type it in

to check if your device is being detected type in "Fastboot devices"
[HTC Amaze 4G] tanmack33:
So, by "if you don't have anything unlocked" mean completely stock, S-OFF, and no root?

Just a little clarification for this nube.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Bootloader Locked

S-ON

No root or custom recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] tanmack33:
Thanks.. I figured.. Just wanted to make sure.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
im still S-ON and flashed an ICS ROM with no problems, just want to shed some light on those people like me that didnt S-OFF :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ksocoolwitit:
What screen do you have to be on to type "Fastboot devices"?
[HTC Amaze 4G] tanmack33:
Cool. I appreciate it. I just found Silentbtdeadly mentioned that in the ICS thread... Only concern now is the warranty issue... Also, I assume this will prevent system updates in the future?

Last time I did flashed an "official" file, my Epic 4G completely went nuts, and was stuck on 2.2 for good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Right there when you open up your Terminal
[HTC Amaze 4G] ksocoolwitit:
I'm using a mac computer and i have the terminal program on it. when i type it in, it says command not found. My phone is currently on the home screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
You need a Windows computer :/ don't know how to do it on a mac
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
If you unlocked the bootloader even once your warrenty is already dead, either way it only kills half your warranty, if something fails software wise there is no warranty
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Ok ..... I need help please...

I have the HTC Amaze

Bootloader Unlocked

Rooted and running the Energy Rom

S-On

......

Downloaded the RUU

Renamed it to PH85IMG and PH85IMG.zip (tried both)

Put it in my External SD

Relocked bootloader with AIO Kit

..... NOTHING COMES UP!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Go to Hboot screen, if nothing pops up then you named it wrong :)

When you have it on sdcard and you go to hboot give it like 15 minutes untill it ask you for an update, don't touch it for another 15 minutes then let it reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] theevilworm:
Hello. I searched around the xda forums for some stuff regarding basebands and RILs and found many open threads with only short or no answers at all. I found a thread with baseband 313 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500443 ) but all the links are dead. Also I cannot find any proper guide or explanation of tghis topic.

I have flashed my phone to Owain's CM9 build now and while I'm at it, I wanted to finally get my baseband and RIL right. I installed GetRIL and it said my baseband doesn't match my RIL, so I trusted the app's recommendation and installed the RIL 405. Now my phone has

baseband 1035.21_20110405

RIL 0405 (V10c, Spain)

Is that allright? Any better combination regarding signal strength or battery life?

I cannot understand the naming scheme of basebands and RILs. I often read things like "flash V20q baseband"... Huh? Does that refer to RIL or baseband? Cause my baseband does not include anything like V20q. Are these people actually talking about RIL?

So confused.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Well, no, they are in fact talking about the basebands.

Every official ROM from LG comes with a baseband which internally carries the ROM version-information. However, that information is not visible on the phone's about page. There you will only see the major and minor version, like "1035.21_20110725". In theory, any baseband with the same version-information should behave identically. In practice it's a little different. You can read the real information (stock-based ROM only) by dialling "1809#*990#", tap "Version info" and look at "Factory Version". That's the real baseband-version, and also identifies which official ROM-release it came from.
[LG Optimus 2x] theevilworm:
Thank you TrymHansen, it seems you have some knowledge about this stuff so may I ask a few more questions?

Dialling "1809#*990#" does not work since I am not on a stock ROM. So what baseband do I have? V10c like my RIL?

My current baseband and RIL seem pretty old to me, are they outdated? Can you please provide a link to a more current version? I really searched but I do not understand the results. What is the baseband and RIL everyone uses? 725? V20q? What do these numbers even mean?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
I cannot determine that fully, but the alternatives are 10d, 10c, and 10b. All of those came with an 0405 baseband.

They are old, yes. That's not very important however, the question is if they work satisfactorily for you. If yes, there's no need to change.

20q is the last ROM-version officially released for many countries (some have gotten 20r). The 20q baseband is the baseband that came with it.

Many of us use a baseband from the Korean SU660-model, because some of us struggle with noisy "other end" calls. The SU660 baseband solves that specific problem.

In short, if your phone works and you don't have any problems you think you can relate to the baseband, let it be.

If you still want to flash a new one, here is 20R, here is 20q.
[LG Optimus 2x] theevilworm:
Thank you so much, you cleared up a lot of confusion! Also thank you for the links.

Now one last question. Which baseband + RIL do you use? I understand that these may not work for me for whatever reason, I just want to know what the pros use.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
I use the 20111120 baseband from the SU660, which came with the ROM 20j for that model.

Forgot to answer the last post question of what the numbers mean.

The 1035.21 is presumably an internal version information for LG, the rest is simply the date the baseband was first released. (For stock ROMs this hasn't changed since 0725. As I said, every baseband which has the informatin 1035.21_0725 should in theory be identical, in practice there turned out to be small differences relating to Fast Dormancy and other stuff very few know a lot about.)
[LG Optimus 2x] theevilworm:
Thank you. Did you flash that with "SmartFlashTool"?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yes, that's the only way to flash a baseband separately.
[LG Optimus 2x] theevilworm:
I will use my phone with baseband 405 for a while and keep an eye on the battery life. If it happens to be miserable I will flash the 1120 baseband and RIL.

What I understood from your answers is that LG releases new stock ROMs which internally have names like V10c or V20q. The basebands that come with the new ROMs adopt these numbers. Although multiple stock ROMs contain the same baseband like 1035.21...725, they behave different depending with which ROM they came. The RIL also adopts the name like V20q from the ROM but is always the same. This is how I will explain others who have the same problems as me.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Almost, but not quite. The ril also differs from ROM to ROM-version. It is however, impossible for the RIL-programs to determine if you have a 20q or 20r baseband, the programs can only look at the regular version information (you know, xxx_0725), and recommend a RIL based on that. The theory is/was that it's best that they match. I don't fully agree, I think it's best to use the RIL the ROM was designed for. For stock ROMs that's the RIL that came with the ROM, for CMx it is either RIL 0218 or a korean RIL/baseband combo.
[LG Optimus 2x] lgnd:
I'm helping a friend with his o2x, it came with froyo and I flashed the temasek cm7 kang on it which is based on 218 ril. The baseband is 405. Is it ok? I don't find an exact anwser... :cool:
[HTC One X] Electrostatic King:
Got a HTC One X a while back and decided to keep it stock as long as I dont find a stable recovery. So my HOX was completely stock. Had no issuses with it for the time I have used it which should be around 15days. I did experience some random reboots. Overheating was a problem too.

Last night was using gameboid to play while watching soccer. After match, I tried to use inbuilt browser but it could not be launched. Everytime I started it, a menu opened with sending a report or not. Then tried google play store to download another browser, but that failed too. Even apps did not upadate. got a error. Dont remember exactly but most probably that was error 492.

Then i decided to reboot. After the HTC quietly brilliant screen, came the HTC ONE screen with some sound, and then hung up there. Tried a hard reboot but same thing happened but this time onwards sound vanished.

So what should I do?

Thought of going to bootloader and then factory reset but I have some important data in HOX and then doing factory reset might not solve the problem.

What should I do?

Just to tell you, Now when I went to bootloader and turned off and back on while plugged to laptop, its still on the same screen but this time its charging.

It does not charge while turned off.

Again,

Im unrooted - completely stock and not unlocked via htcdev.

Edit: The phone is charging now with the power adapter.

Edit2: Just did a factory reset via bootloader , back to normal now.
