[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Thanks for putting all that info into one spot! Definitely helps out that much more as it is somewhat easier to refer to rather than bouncing from one post to another here in the forums! I would imagine it'll help out many people (including me!).

I'm still fairly new to some things and some times the added explanation of certain topics and/or issues is what's needed to get the job done!

Also, as far as the *photon-torpedo* root method goes... I used that method without an issue on Android 2.3.4. After updating to Android 2.3.5 the other day, I used that same method again without issue and it worked perfectly! Unfortunately (at least from what I've read), being that I updated to 2.3.5, I won't be able to unlock the bootloader as if right now. Not really something I'm too concerned about, being that I hadn't prior to the update anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Grep_The_Truth:
I hate to be that guy but this is certainly relevant to the discussion at hand. I used the Photon Torpedo method originally when it first came out. Since then I have kept it stock and performed the OTA updates as they come. After each update I just run the last two commands:

/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh

/data/tmp/install-su.sh

Always worked in the past. I just got updated to the new "2.3.5" and I can't seem to get root back. The photon-torpedo script has multiple errors "libpcprofile.so cannot be loaded as audit interface" and "permission denied". Consequently the install-su script doesn't succeed. Can't mount /system as RW and everything is permission denied.

Worst part is that the SU binary still exists in /system/bin/su but I can't use it. I get permission denied on everything I try.

Am I borked? Is there something I have forgotten?

Jleeblanch, are you using the new update from Motorola from the soak test?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Grep,

To answer your question, yes. The new update unroots your device so you will have to re-root using the photon-torpedo method again.

I was rooted prior to the update with that method and after the update I was un-rooted! Trying to re-root using Terminal Emulator on device wouldn't work. Got "permissions denied" when running the tar command. But, using adb on the computer worked without a problem!

So basically, just redo the torpedo root method from step 1 and you'll successfully get root back guaranteed!!

Hope that helps!

Also, I had the SU binary in place as you did along with other root specific apps. Those apps are pretty much worthless until you gain root again.

It has been confirmed in the "soak" that 2.3.5 update will completely un-root your device...

nice. should come in handy for others. even me cuz im kind of a noob.... waiting for way around locked bootloader after 2.3.5 ota

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The Imperium has your back. I will be upping a new guide and Root-Unlock-Relock pack soon but hosting is changing servers so for now torpedo is attached to this post.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cool old lady:
Clearly, I am retarded....I have studied this post 15 times but I can't find any way to see an attachment. Where is it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
try it now, post 6. Are you on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5? If you're on 2.3.4 then just use the root/unlock/relock pack (the link is at the top of post 6.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cool old lady:
OK - I see it now and I've downloaded it - thank you very much. I am on 2.3.5 from the soak test.

Are these still the correct/only instructions? If so I may still be in trouble...my "favorite method....into /data/tmp"? I don't know any method, much less have a favorite.

Instructions:

Use your favorite method to get photon-torpedo.tar into /data/tmp

Install Superuser from the Market

Install Android Terminal Emulator from the Market

Run Android Terminal Emulator

Run cd /data/tmp

Run /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar

Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh

Run /data/tmp/install-su.sh​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I'm actually on my way to bed. I will write a more detailed walkthrough tomorrow and post it in the Photon Compendium. Eventually I plan to script the entire process but am working on unified webtop stuff right now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Me to, had to used one click Root (20 times)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Navigate to the Android Market and install the “Superuser” application from ChainsDD

Download and extract 22MB Root-Unlock-Relock.zip from the Imperium website

Go to the "rsd drivers" folder located in the Root-Unlock-Relock folder and install the drivers for your system (32bit or 64bit windows)

Download photon-torpedo.tar

Place photon-torpedo.tar in the "AIO Root" folder located in the Root-Unlock-Relock folder

On your phone, in menu/settings/applications/development make sure usb debugging is checked

Connect your phone to your computer and select "charging" mode from the connections options in notifcations

From the "AIO Root" folder, double click the "Command Prompt" shortcut

Type the following commands:

adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp

adb shell

cd /data/tmp

/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar

/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh

/data/tmp/install-su.sh

Ignore the errors when running torpedo and let the process complete.

Once I get some free time I'll write a single script covering everything from rooting to SBFing back to stock. My goal is to get any given process down to ten keystrokes or less.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cool old lady:
Hmph. Well....I think it worked. Root Checker says "congrats" - but wasn't it supposed to wipe all my stuff from the phone or something?

no root doesn't wipe data. (neither does unlock if done right)

I have not had time to play with my A500 much so I went the easy "replace update.exe on your SD Card" non-rooted ICS route.

Kernel Version is 2.6.39.4+

Image Version is Acer_AV041_A500_RV16RB02_WW_GEN1

How do I get back to factory setting/factory OS. Don't care about rooting (figure I will wait until one of you more smarter people root the ICS version)?
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
There is root for ics.

And I'm sure there's a thread to get to stock but isn't what ur on stock ics just a leak if the now push update? Can you not update the leak? Why don't you wait till someone extracts the new update and then u flash the update.zip should be available this week knowing our development members:)
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:

Hmm I just updated to ics OTA I'm not sure why yours won't update from leak I think someone made an app that pushes ota update dl easily I seen in it a100 forum not sure if it works on a500

It's an okay case. Light, fits well, looks fine. I prefer a case that covers more of the phone, and that's why I'm waiting for the TPU one. Other than that my only complaint is that this case makes the power button hard to get to.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Roeni:
Hi,

I'm wondering if there is some easy way to take screenshots.

Other Samsung devices have a shortcut for this: http://opensourcehacker.com/2011/02...g-galaxy-s-and-other-samsung-android-devices/

The Glide seems not to have.

So is there any other way? E.g. by defining some app in "Settings > Applications > Quick launch" ?

Or is "Screenshot" an app, removed in OsiMood-Rom?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] incidentflux:
I use the 'Home + Power key' combo to take screenshots. No special apps installed. Screenshots are saved in the 'ScreenCapture' folder.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Roeni:
mhh ok... my glide seems to recognize this home+power shortcut but it throws me an error:

The application com.sec.android.app.screencapture has stopped unexpectedly

:-/
[Samsung Captivate Glide] nightbirddesigns:
Sorry for your trouble. I've soft-bricked my phone several times tooling with apps I shouldn't have and such, and I am rooted on the Craniam OC Kernel and the stock rooted ROM, but I've never had issues with screen capture working. I don't know how extensive your mods are, but is it possible some app manager is freezing some component of the system that screen capture needs? Shot in the dark but I hope you get answers.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
if you have OsiMood or INC3PTION, you wont be able to use the HOME + POWER for screenshots for it is considered to be a bloatware so removed....you can search the Glide forums for the screenshot.apk found in stock ROM.

Errrr....just take the attached file and put it in /system/app
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kanagadeepan:
^^^^^

Thanks and any precautions like say giving permissions while placing in that folder??? Thanks again...

UPDATE:-

Done and is working perfectly... Thanks... Just use the "mount RW" option when copying that attached file to /system/app folder... No need to change the permissions.... Thanks a lot again...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
Oh yeah sorry, forgot to metion that you need system to be writable (RW). About permissions, just give it full (rwxrwxrwx), Android will change and give it the right permissions after a reboot....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi there - I am on OsiMood and have replaced the existing file with the attached one - but it's still not working for me. I get the "...has stopped unexpectedly".

What to do? :confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
You can try screenshot er demo I believe out comes in the newest osimood. Or check the app store
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi - thanks for your response, but I'd really just like the stock screenshot app; it worked just fine and is free. Why can't I use it?

Thanks! :good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Sorry don't know was just recommending an alternative that works for me. Also I like that it is not always running in the background and only launch it when I need it, unlike the stock one that is always running.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
does one exist that works for this phone? Everyone i try from the market takes me to a radio info page and it has a drop down and it automatically goes to GSM/lte auto mode regardless! Argh man i hate lte the speed is useless because of data caps and battery life is terrible!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I think most people now create a second APN that avoids the LTE radio/network. They have to manually switch between the default and the custom APN. There are a few threads in the General section on how to do this. Of course, you want a toggle to do the switching for you. But you will need that second APN if I am not mistaken.

This may not meet your needs, but I use 2X Battery. It's main function is to turn off the data radio(s) when the phone is in the sleep mode. You can configure it to stay off for a short period of time when after coming out of sleep mode. You still receive calls, text messages, and maybe mail. I'm not sure about the last. With the paid version (2.99), you can have it go into airplane mode for a specified time range at night. If you have a need to check mail, Facebook, etc. while in sleep mode, this won't work for you.

But with 2X Battery, I am getting 24-36 hours from the standard battery, I suspect a heavy user might get 18+ hours if they can aford to have the radio off while the phone is asleep.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I noticed before that the battery drain on LTE was extreme when I had about one or two bars (weak signal). The extended battery solved this, and luckily I still have unlimited data.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brand New:
It would be awesome if someone could post their APN settings. I don't even have 3G in my area (lol Appalachian Mountains) it would be great to save battery. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
There are tons of them in the General section. First, look in the General Information thread pinned at the top. Then, do a search for "APN settings." This will get you a number of articles where people have posted settings. You should read the comments as well to understand what the settings do. Note that you cannot edit the default PTA APN (AT&T). You have to add a new APN and then switch to it to go from AT&T's HSPA+/4G/LTE down to 3G or Edge
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I searched the main forum and cannot find what I"m looking for. I did a google search and found someone with an Nitro HD on androidforums who posted some APN settings and I tried them and no luck, LTE signal doesn't go away, and a speed test shows ridiculous 40meg downloads on both apns.

EDIT: I just sent an e-mail to HTC developers about this. Seriously they need to patch it. How in the hell do they not have a switch to turn it off? I remember my captivate had a setting to use 2G networks only, we don't even have that it seems! Didn't the EVO have one to turn off WiMax?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
As for as a toggle, the only thing I found on Play/Market were a few apps that appeared to be phone specific. No guarantee that they will work on the Vivid or will work with ICS. One Vivid user said he used LTE OnOff:

Hey guys, I have an issue when I listen to music and when I skate. The issue is that the phone keeps sliding open, just enough to wake up. Of course this causes chaos by calling people, changing songs and apparently forwarding messages from other text threads and sending them off to other people.

So is there any way to prevent the phone from waking up when sliding out the keyboard? I very rarely activate my phone using the keyboard anyway.

Doesnt flashing the stock zip put u back to stock which means id have a binary count of 1 after stock flash then a binary count of 2 after root flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Flashing to stock adds one count to your counter.

But if you reroot and install cwm, you can flash it back to 0.

Personally, I wouldnt worry about it. You bought it used and as such, the only warranty you may have would be thru Samsung and they have ways beyond the flash counter from download mode to see that the phone was previously flashed.
