[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natural4862:
I'm trying to extract boot.img from the stock firmware came with my ARC. I use terminal emulator and type following command:

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/mtd1.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img

And successfully got four .img files. However, all of them are having BIG file size (from 100MB to 300MB), which is different from what a boot.img should be (around 6-7MB)

For the below commands:

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/mtd4.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd5 > /sdcard/mtd5.img

terminal emulator said "such file can not be found"

Any ideas? How could I extract the correct boot.img?

bootloader unlocked

Wanted to update rom, so I went through a lot of choices and decided on this one:

SuperClean by Adrynalyne

Followed instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798064

Thought I did everything correctly. After apply the updating and rebooting, I'm stuck at the Samsung Logo, with a pule vibrating. One vibe, pause, then two quick and just repeats over and over.

I tried searching but couldn't seem to find anything that helped.

My odin is Odin3 v1.83

my cwm-recovery's binary file is dated 3/30/2011

I was running VZW updated gingerbread 2.3.x (i think the x was .5)

Thanks for the help.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinital:

followed droidstyles steps to reset back to stock.

what did I do wrong in trying to update to the supreclean.

thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
why are you wanting to flash an outdated rom that is no longer being developed? Imo flash aokp glitched b34 and dont look back...if your stuck on touchwiz then flash nitsuj17 superclean3 rom.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
Isn't super frankenclean a froyo or maybe even late eclair rom? And you flashed it over gingerbread..................:confused:

First of all you probably have gingerbread bootloader and that isn't going to play nice with such an old build. Secondly it makes no sense to flash that version as frankebclean evolved into Superclean which is now on gingerbread itself.

Seriously, do some reading about the different versions of Android. If you want to install a number of popular apps you are going to need to be on at least froyo and increasingly at least gingerbread.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinital:
thanks

I didn't realize that it was an outdated rom.

I got reset back to stock and following droidstyles guide.

ended up using for now superclean 3 I think, just I didn't want to go back to stock.

I did realize I was on gingerbread before but just made the mistake on that first rom I tried.

thanks

Only problem I'm seeming to have now is with the wifi tether.

I went to the android wifi tether page, cannot post the link yet.

downloaded the last non-beta/experimental release (2.0.7)

installed, granted super user, start tethering, but don't see the SSID popup. Not on my other android phone (charge), my Kindle Fire, or My laptop. I tried a couple other wifi tethers (barnacle was one), but had the same result.

Should I have to update something else?

Thanks for the help guys.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
Super clean 3.0 is a good choice if you want or need to stay close to stock. Geewis is also a good touchwiz rom.

If you start feeling adventurou and in the mood for an ice cream sandwich the aokp glitched builds are really something else as they will give you an additional 40mb or so of ram. On the ram star ed fascinate, that's a big deal.

Anyway best of luck in all future flashing.

[HTC One X] xiaohan:
I found the Task Manager app in HTC Desire HD at 2.3.5 is really useful, it kills most of the apps I don't want to use, but leave those always running ones such as Lookout security, 3G watch dog, Viber, Weixin(Like Heytell) and Onavo.

After I switched to HTC One X, it seems it kills everything, and you can not put certain app in a exception list which is really annoying, so I have to either restart the apps or stop those unwanted ones one by one.

Any better solution for this?

Thank you.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
Best solution: don't use task killers. Not sure why HTC bothered putting one in. Let android handle what needs to close and when. It does okay.

I usually DD but cannot since that requires root privileges. If ANYONE knows of a way, please provide me with some instructions, thank you???

Usually I use these commands in recovery since most of these partitions are not mounted.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomwalsh:
Good Afternoon,

This is my first time being an owner of an android device. I have had a iPhone since the iPhone 3.

I recently swopped my iPhone 4 for a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 on a local buy/sell site. It came with ICS 4.0.3 already installed. I have excited it was huge and awesome. Tried to make a call and well I got hear the person on the other side but all they could hear was static. I spoke to my mobile operator (by the way I live in South Africa) and my mobile operator MTN, said that ICS hasnt been launched on their system yet.

I thought my mic was faulty but all the voice commands and voice memos work fine.

So I phoned the guy I swopped my phone with and he pointed me to

androidadvices. com / samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-steps-install-gingerbread-236-xxkka-firmware/

and to use the following rom

hotfile. com / dl/141938899/4714c17/N7000XXLA3_N7000OXALA3_OXA.zip. html?expire=1

I followed the instructions on the site listed above and when I have run the process in Odin it gets stuck on the factory part.

The other thing is Kies doesn't see my Note when it is plugged it. And also I am unable to enter recovery mode.

I am at a loss as what to do now as the Note just says that i need to connect it in recovery but I can't do that as I have tried holding down the up volume key the home key and the power button and it does nothing.

Is there a way to check what my model number is of my Note without having to boot into a rom?

I heard about a method of install the rom as a image on the micro sd card but I dont know that method. It had some Egyptian name for the program that allowed you to do this but for the life of me I can't remember.

Please can you assist me in this matter as I am very sad and at a loss as what to do next to get a working phone again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hornmich:
I work for a company that provides free WiFi for guests and employees. In order to access the WiFi network, you have to acknowledge that you agree to the terms and services.

When I arrive for work each day, I pull up any random web page and am taken to an internal web page where I have to acknowledge the terms and services of the WiFi service. After doing that, I am granted access to the network. Unfortunately, the access does not remain in place for the duration of my shift. Even though the Evo shows that I am connected to the guest wifi network, I can't connect to the internet unless I pull up a browser and get back to the page where you acknowledge the terms and services. I may have to do this 5 or 6 times a day to connect back to the internet.

Does anyone know of a way to prevent getting kicked off of the guest wifi network using an app or some other method?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hornmich:
deathsled, I do move from place to place at work . . . I had not considered that that could be causing loss of connectivity. We have multiple wifi access points in the department and in my area.

Given that info, would there be any way to continue to hit the same access point in a smaller area, without requiring re-authentication?

I had wondered if there was a program running in the background that required low bandwidth, but continual, that it could keep me connected at all times. Something like streaming music may be too much bandwidth. I was looking for any other ideas out there.

[HTC Sensation] F012DY:
I'd flashed with an RUU, and finally got OTA update working, I thought, by writing CID as HTC__001 (the UK unbranded CID).

The update downloaded, but after 'install' dumped in recovery. I located and installed the .zip the usual way, but it wouldn't boot afterwards.

That was several hours ago and I've been trying everything I can think of since. Even tried 'factory reset'.

Not too sure what I should do - did it not work because my radio's too old?

Auxillary question - when RUUs specify a radio in filename, does it mean they include that radio, or that's the radio you should have to use it?

Hi,

I'd like to introduce our new casual game. I think the text we have put on Google Play pretty much says it all so I will copy it below :)

We'd love to get some feedback about it and why not, see who's getting the highscore amongst the XDA readers.

Link to Google Play

Who's gonna be the new king of shakers? It might be you!

Grab your phone and shake it till you reach the top of the scoreboard. Compete with thousands of other users and try to grab the crown. There can be only one!

The game features two game modes:

- "Rabbit Run" is the sprint competition, the 100 meter race of shakers. Shake the phone as fast as possible.

- "Iron Arm" is the weight lifter competition for shakers. Shake the phone as strongly as possible.

For each game, you will have to shake the phone during 7 seconds. After that time, a gong sound will tell you that you can stop shaking. Your score gets displayed along with the 3 high scores on your phone for that game mode.

If you stop shaking before 7 seconds, you'll hear a buzzer sound and score 0 points. Try it again!

If you wish, you can compete with the world on ScoreLoop!!

We are aware that all devices are not equal in this game, but hey, just like in most competitions, equipment often makes the difference. So which device would be the ideal shaker to win it all?

If the Sensation ICS update date of 6/16 is accurate this just shows what a clusterf*** T-Mobile USA and HTC both are. Another 2 months before ICS comes to the Sensation, to be honest at this point, I don't buy that date. I think it's just being leaked to try to shut up those of us Sensation owners who have been expecting it in the the near term. I have major doubts whether T-Mobile and HTC for whatever reasons, will release the update ever. Clearly the proper resources are not being committed to this project. Very disappointed.
