[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
1. Flash CF-Root

2. Use Triangle Away app

3. Done, you have root, 0 counts and no triangle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khokhar1:
dear im no exprienced enough .can u plz tell my step by step procedure and risk in this process.thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Risk is that you can end with a bootloop.

Ok, extended tutorial:

0a. Download this CF-Root. Unzip it.

0b. Make sure you have installed USB drivers and Kies is NOT running in background.

1. Turn off phone.

2. Power on with Vol+ + Home + Power combo.

3. You should see download mode prompt. Press Vol+.

4. Now, if you see "Downloading...", open Odin.

5. Click on PDA, select .tar file you've unzipped.

6. Do NOT click re-partition or other options.

7. Click Start.

8. After 8 seconds your phone will start booting, but with yellow traingle. It means you have custom kernel and you should have SuperSU app visible.

9. I'm sure that you want to erase that triangle. So, download this app.

10. Copy downloaded .apk if on computer, otherwise install app.

11. Launch it.

12. Press "Reset flash counter"

13. Do not touch phone, just wait.

14. You shouldn't see that triangle no more.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreeDo:
Saw a similar thread in the thunderbolt forum, but not sure if it's the same issue as this kindle fire problem.

I got the app, downloaded the appropriate 'enabler' for windows, ran it successfully... when I take a screenshot with the app, it makes a shutter sound but after that, I'm not prompted to save or edit the screenshot (the tutorial implies I should be).

There's a setting to change where it gets saved, and I played with that... I know it works because if I specify a folder that doesn't exist, it will create it for me. But there's never a PNG or JPG file anywhere in there.

I actually have rooted the thing so I could try another app. Just wondering if there's something simple I'm overlooking for the current app. A search using ES file explorer found no images in my entire SD card (other than facebook icons).

edit: see my last post here... basically I wasn't truly rooted.

Have you looked in your DCIM folder?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreeDo:
I don't see any DCIM folder? Looking in the SDcard root directory, and mnt/sdcard, and in the device's top-level directory (the one that has root, sys, acct, data, config, etc). I have a pictures folder, but it's just got facebook thumbnails. I have a folder titled "Root" but the file browser I'm using, Root Explorer, claims it can't show the contents because it thinks I don't have root. Though I've gone through the steps and I'm pretty sure I do.

I feel like the picture is simply not being created at all, maybe due to permissions. If I specify I want to save in a place that doesn't exist... say, mnt/sdcard/foobar... it creates that folder. But I don't have any files within this newly created folder.

So it seems like this isn't an issue of the image exists somewhere, but it's just hiding. It's more like it simply doesn't exist. It doesn't turn up using a search either, though all my jpg and png thumbnails do.

Seems like such a simple function, can we truly not screenshot on this device yet without attaching it to a PC?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreeDo:
I was able to figure it out.

I thought I was rooted, but I wasn't... possibly because of an automatic update to 6.3x that broke my root access. I don't know how no-root screenshot-it is meant to work, but when it failed to write files to every folder I tried to choose... I suspect it was because it lacked root permissions.

I ran the latest kindle fire utility, got permanent root, went into extras and got onto google play, and picked the first free screenshot app I saw. It works great. The name seems to just be "screenshot", probably a ripoff of some other app :/

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I think the bottom line is most apps will work if you truly get root going, and I found the kindle fire utility very easy to use for that... so thanks also the people responsible for that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttaa:
Hi,

I recently got a Nexus S, 2.3.4

How do I know the model number ?

I have read about updating to ICS 4.0.4 by downloading some files and using boot loader. Can the update to ICS 4.0.4 be done using Kies ?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muldy:
What's a "kies" ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
Kies is samsung's online update server. They used it to update their phones.

Since the nexus s is a Google phone, updates will come from Google. So no need to connect to a Samsung server. Your update should arrive ota. But if your impatient or just want an enhanced user experience, I'd advise looking around on the forum for directions on how to root and install custom roms on your phone.

You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emmiig:
I don't know about updating it with kies but under the general section in the stickies there is a thread on all updates and full from packages for all variants.. you will be able to find the right update in there and just download it to your phones root folder.. then go into fast boot recovery by I think the volume up button and power button when turned off, then go into recovery and when the android man has a exclamation mark press volume up and power button again and select the update zip file and it should finish itself off... provided you chose the right model for your phone....

Its the easiest way I know how to do it

Ive been dying to get ICS on my phone and it feels as though the "world" doesnt want me to successfully do it

im S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, on T-mobile

The AIO Kit doesnt work for me (I click buttons and nothing EVER happens, tried using 3 PC's) yes i have HTC drivers on all pc's

everytime download an ICS Rom , i try opening it and it says "Corrupted" (tried downloading it on 3 Pc's also)

everywhere i go i see different ways of doing it, some simple "rename to XXX then put on root of your SD card etc"

and hasoon just made a post on doing it and its like freakin 10 pages long O_O (i know a little exaggerated, but still)

for hasoons way hes using his tool a lot. and his tool doesnt work for me, and the other way, renaming the file and letting hboot do all the work, sounds kinna risky because my file seems to be corrupted no matter where i download it from :confused:

I been Reading around for hours now and i feel like just giving up :mad:

any help would be appreciated :(

3. turn off phone

4. hold down volume - and power at the same time until bootloader appears

5. bootloader will flash ics

6. yay!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotSkydiver:
So, I actually own an Atrix 2, but I figured I'd post this here as webtop/linux development is much more active. I've gotten my device set up with a custom linux installation, but it seems the OS could run much faster were it not hampered by the phone running its own OS at the same time. Would it be possible to, say, modify the android boot scripts to launch webtop instead if it detects a dock? Just have the phone with a blank screen fully powering the /osh environment on the lapdock. Once undocked, you'd have to manually reboot so the system could actually boot up android again.

It seems like there's no reason why this shouldn't be possible. Just a simple boot script that uses the phone's ability to detect whether or not it is docked; if it is, boot into webtop, if not, run android. Once, my phone had a forced reboot while I was in webtop mode. However, instead of webtop going down with the phone, I opened the mobile view and actually watched the phone's boot animation and boot process, with webtop still running. Maybe there could be a script that runs android until webtop is fully "hooked", then shuts down android and continues running webtop?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotSkydiver:
Secondary question, is it possible to upgrade the linux install itself with the sudo dist-upgrade command?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bchliu:
I think it is actually quite possible to do this. The reason I say that is because I have seen the Android component of the phone reboot whilst being docked into the Lapdock. The whole Android environment is then reloaded once again meaning that Ubuntu is running as the host OS.

The challenge is if you can get it to boot directly into the Ubuntu shell primarily as opposed to going directly into Dalvik.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotSkydiver:
That's exactly what happened to me! Te webtop environment stayed booted, but just ran the boot script again. All you'd have to do would be to edit the android boot script to check if RM_IS_DOCKED, right? Or does the webtop rely on certain android components to run?

Secondary question, if I were to go the route of letting it load android, then webtop, then unload android, how would I send a command to android to shut down without *actually* shutting down?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bchliu:
I dont know enough about the technical details of the boot scripts to do this. But just as a observation, it does look plausible from the Dalvik rebooting separate to the Jaunty instance I have running.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonshob:
I would like to know how to do this as well
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giuanz:
Sorry guys, this is technically not possible.

At boot, the Linux kernel starts first. It is a custom kernel with Android patches - that implies, as far as I know, some extra security (only users with uid of 3000something have IP access) and something that breaks udev. The latter thing messing up init scripts of most modern Linux distros.

Then the Dalvik VM is started - which is the one that sucks the RAM.

Then the mountosh command is started, which takes care of mounting the webtop partition.

Then ubuntu.sh is started, which takes care of initializing the webtop environment.

The "docked" event launches a script in /etc/init.d (don't remember the name, probably stg like StartWebtop.sh) which starts the Moto's customized Xorg and some other software for the trackpad.

I think that what you have seen rebooting is probably the Dalvik VM - not sure why, I've seen it too at times.

IMHO webtop is slow because the Linux apps in Ubuntu are memory-hungry and not optimized for ARM.

I think Moto was hoping that HTML5 apps would take off sooner - so to make webtop useful just with the bundled firefox - but that never happened.

In the meanwhile, android tablet apps are getting more and more mature, and they are optimized for lower memory and less CPU than Ubuntu apps (eg Quickoffice vs Libreoffice, maildroid vs thunderbird). Hence Moto killing the webtop the way we know it and replacing it with TabletUI ICS.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adlx.xda:
Interesting thread. I have always been amazed by the Atrix with webtop (only had it for a few days, until I hard bricked it :( ).

Actually, from what I was able to see, it was not Android as host OS, then running Ubuntu. It was 1 kernel (the Linux kernel for Android, as we always have on an Android phone), and on top of that kernel, two different OSes: "Android" and "Webtop (ubuntu based)". It was especially visible when running ps from one or the other, you could see there was actually no distinction, no isolation between both. From Android you could see all the webtop processes, and from webtop the android processes as well. It was amazing!

(confirmed in https://books.google.nl/books?id=E9...btop a second OS on same linux kernel&f=false, Figure 6.8)

Technically it 's the once and only time I have seen this happen actually. Never before, and never since.

So, yes, it was very possible to "soft reboot" any of the two OSes and keep the other one running, as long as the kernel was kept running (not rebooting the phone). That would mean restarting the Android zigote or Ubuntu/Webtop init (or whatever was doing that function).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] assclown3:
I've been trying to install CM7 on my Incredible 2. There are many, many guides to do this on the web, all of them have their own little twists.

After trying for a few hours, I've followed basically these steps:

1) Unlocked bootloader from HTCdev.com

2) Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.

3) Backed up phone to SD card and saved the backup to my computer.

4) Wiped phone and cache in recovery.

5) Downloaded CM7 to the SD card.

6) Installed CM7 update from SD card.

I know these aren't exactly the steps I found in any particular guide, but after doing a ton of reading it basically seemed like it might work, with the exception of any issues with s-off.

When I try to boot, the phone just stops at the white HTC screen. So, I'm pretty sure the problem is I need to get s-off. My question is basically, what the hell is the point of the HTCdev unlocked bootloader if you can't actually install anything from recovery without s-off, which the unlocker does not give you? It seems like I now need to re-lock my phone, then use the unofficial unlockers/s-off.

Or, is there a simpler way to get s-off with the unlocked bootloader that I haven't been able to find?

I've had pretty bad luck with the unofficial unlockers in the past (simply would not communicate with the phone via USB. I use the android sdk to develop apps so I know it *can* connect), so if that is the case, I'm just going to restore my backup and give up on installing CM, again.

Hey everybody, so I might be posting in the wrong section but since its a question I figured I'd post in the Q&A. So my question is since I still have froyo BL and on CM9 can I still flash another rom even though my recovery has the rainbow effect? In recovery the top 1/3 is rainbow but the rest I can read good. I want to flash revolution rom. And I would Odin or heimdall back to stock and go from there but I have no PC. So yeah would it be safe to wipe all and flash revolution even though I'm on a froyo BL, blue CWM and on CM9?

Yeah, you have had to wait a really long time for an answer. I figured folks were just waiting for you to check out the other threads with the exact same question. ;)

Just messing with you, and you'd really be fine to flash the rom that you want to flash. Your best bet would be to get set up right, though. To get rid of the rainbows, it's not too hard to get Gingerbread bootloaders. Follow the instructions in this post to a "t", including the part in the FAQ about how to get red CWM, and you'll have everything you need for a rainbow free rom flashing experience. It will get you set up on stock Gingerbread with custom recovery. Then you can flash any of the other available roms.:
