[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
You could easily flash back to stock and take the update, then root it yourself. It only takes a few minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I was thinking about doing that, my concern is if I flash back to complete stock do I lose all my apps and data? I know I can re-download my apps again from the play store, but I would like to keep the data within those apps as well.

Or, when I flash back to complete stock are all my apps still in check because I wouldn't do a factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
It will wipe all your apps and data. You can back that up via various apps like titanium and and a messaging backup, like backup to gmail or whatever you use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Thank you. Yes, I know I can make the backups, and I would do that as well. But when you flash and go back to complete stock you lose root so I can't use titanium unless I re-route again.

that's why I was thinking about backing up first, flashing stock, then re-route with ZergRush (which won't touch the recovery). Reinstall all my apps with data and then remove root and wait for the update.

Logically to me this makes sense. I just don't know if technically it would work is all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
What I'm saying is keep running whatever rom your on. Then back everything up when the official ics drops. Flash back to stock, Take the update, then root it. But migrating data from different OS's is generally not gonna be a good route to take. So, I would just start over anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Ok, got ya. That makes sense and is probably what I am going to do. The data that I have saved in games isn't an issue, I don't really care about that. The info that I don't want to lose is in an Expense Manager application. that's the main one I don't want to lose the data. The text messages and call logs I can get back without issue and I can backup my pics and videos of my kids either to my computer manually or use Samsung Kies. So that's not an issue either.

Another question, just out of curiosity. Lets say someone didn't root their phone and received the OTA update. How would updating to ICS affect the apps already installed on their phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
I believe it will wipe everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
You could backup your apps with an app that doesn't require root, such as my backup pro. That way you won't have an issue restoring after flashing back to stock.

Edit: never mind, still need root if you want to restore data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
No problem. I think the only way is to backup, then flash stock, re root and install apps, then remove root. Or wait for a dev to release a stock rooted ICS ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treefrog321:
I've never really felt the need to unroot, but similar to Chochiwpg, I'm interested in receiving the stock Jelly Bean as soon as it's available, but don't want to have to flash stock ICS (and lose my apps and data) in the meantime. Will this unroot method do the trick? After that I can flash the stock recovery and be good to go with Kies for the update?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Protesters swarmed Apple Stores with this "WAKE UP" anthem. First thought to be Sammy who Hired the protesters. But now we know it was Blackberry!!!

Is Blackberry Going All out on a new touch device? Samsung has a may 3rd reveal date. To unveil the Galaxy s 3 (sg3).

While Blackberry is said to reveal of their new device on May 7th.

What kind of devices will Blackberry reveal?

Are they going to get back in the game and compete against Android/Apple ?

That was quite the stunt they pulled at Apple stores!

By the way Blackberry hired Porsche to design a device. Said to cost around $1300 What?

[Acer Iconia A500] Hawke5781:
I have two A500 tablet, mine is Rooted with CWM and running Flexreaper R12.5 Custom ROM. The other (my wifes) is rooted (Simple Method), running stock ICS 1.033 OTA. with no Recovery manager.

I am trying to run the v3 Unlocked Bootloader and custom Recovery Manager by Civato on the stock tablet. I can't seem to get past step 1.

On my tablet all the tools that are available to view the UID function properly and give me a working UID for my Tablet. For my wifes tablet is says that the UID for her tablet is all "0". Or it will show the SNID, I know both of these options are incorrect.

I am about to flash my wifes tablet back to the original HC using the Manufactures tools. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea why my UID would be 000000000000000?
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
Straight from Civato's upgrade guide:

ON ICS ROM or ICS booloader (0.3.11 or 0.3.12) do this to get your cpuid:

Or you Install and launch Android terminal app on tablet. Run the following command: dmesg>/mnt/external_sd/dmesg.txt

Open up dmesg.txt (will be stored on your external SD) and look for androidboot.serialno. That is your CPUID.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hawke5781:
I tried that as well....

I read Civato's guide Front and back, up and down, I have tried desview, dmesg.txt as well as several other options, I still get the same CPUID "000000000000000" or the SNID, of which neither work.

As I said in my previous post I am going to roll it back to HC and do the Root and recovery manager like I did mine.

I am just asking if anyone has any Ideas why my CPUID is "000000000000000"

Thanks for your help.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Maybe it is 000000000000000000 , only way to found it is test it , see guide on how.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hawke5781:
It doesn't work

Civato,

I tried testing the cpuid I got "0's" using your staed test in the guide and it didn't work. I am now back to HC and I have a good CPUID I think at least it looks right.

Thanks for your help.

Have a wonderful Texas day.

Hi,

while I was doing a restore to original se firmware build 0.62 with WONTANSERVER, but I have received 2 error and now my xperia mini doesn't start. When I switch on my smartphone I can only see an icon of the smartphone with a yellow exclamation point into a danger signal.

How can I do to reset it into original firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Haltlos:
You may try the 'repair' option in SE PC-Companion Software or Update via SEUS or follow one of the 'reset' tutorials found here (one is atm 4 threads below)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giubilo:
Thanks, i'have tried with pccompanion but it recognized an unofficial software (I had installed a prerooted version with build 0.69).

Could you link me the correct toutorial to follow? I'm searching it but i can't find....thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Install correct firmware, not a prerooted version as it includes modifications in system, which seems, that are detected by the PC Companion.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Haltlos:
Try #3 in this tutorial using the ftf from #XX.1 in the same post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giubilo:
Yes, it is what I want to do.

Before the error 12152 of wontan server i had installed the prerooted verison (build 0.69) that I want to delete and reset all to factory settings (build 0.62 original firmware).

But now i don't know how can I do...

could you help me?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Just follow the tutorial, and ask here if you have a question.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] giubilo:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
i was looking at the optimus 2x's android dev section and i saw a hell lot of roms especially based on cm9, this must mean they do have ICS working on their phone, which means an ICS comaptible kernel, since both house the same TEGRA 2 processor, i was thinking if our wonderful devs could just port it to galaxy R, it would greatly reduce the effort of building one from scratch, and if it isnt possible then please do tell me why, cause we can all learn and maybe help out 1 way or the other ? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
I'm especially bad with kernels , not to mention port them . But if the other devs port them they might just be able to boot my ICS .

This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
So, you say Porting is possible??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
it may work because i read some of forum members tried ardatdat's kernel with Optimus 2x and it worked with LG Optimus 2X...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
but digging deeper, i found out they dont have the hardware acceleration :/

sucks... but still, better than no ICS! :P
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Yes, the problem with porting the kernel from O2X will be in H/W acceleration....

Until, we get any of the official NVIDIA Tegra2 drivers... we wont be able to get hardware acceleration.....

So, just wait for another month or so... dear SGR lovers......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mini21:
Hi there.

Since its installed Aokp milestone 5 and franko.kernel milestone 3, the battery on my phone are clearly hot.

Feel it through the rear door.

The temperature reached by the CPU reaches 65 degrees.

CPU overclocked from 729 to 1344 and the Governator on ondemand.

Should I worry about this?

What to do to whit this?

Thx for help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BDHela:
Have you tried flashing another ROM and kernel combination to see if you get the same results?

You can also try BetterBatteryStats to see if you have wakelocks causing the drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mini21:
Earlier, when I used AOKP Franko.Kernel build 34 and build version of the problem was gone.

Maybe something with the voltage is something wrong?

Maybe someone could give me some reliable voltage settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
The heat makes me return to cm stock kernel. I don't like the heat.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
So, B&N gives us 2-point multitouch. It's better than nothing but we can reach 10-point!

Good news:

- both ft5x06 and touch panel supporting 10 finger touch

Bad news:

- ft5x06 firmware supports only 2 fingers at a time

- ft5x06 kernel driver supports only 2 fingers at a time

Good news:

- I fixed ft5x06 kernel driver, now it has no limit (patch)

- I found a firmware (attached) that supports 5 fingers:

Bad news:

- Our touch panel's contact network size is 28x16 . This firmware use only 25x14 contacts so we have don't working touchscreen in top and right edges and misplaced point near this edges.

What we need?

We need to patch binary firmware or get sources and compile new firmware.

Firmware found, thanks to demetris_I.

Driver updated.

Need to fix firmware upgrading in latest kernel...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Україна, вперед!

Where is your driver patch?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
:)

Will be at my github in a few minutes (or more).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cleverghost:
NICE!

I've been looking forward to this, now I can play those pesky games that require more than 2 touchpoints ^_^
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
super cool.

I wonder if the driver was limited because the original cyttsp (Cypress TrueTouch Standard Product) was also limited-- and older nook colors use the cyttsp (while newer ones use the same as NT). Maybe for compatibility w/stock they said let's limit it to 2?

(just a guess)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
Maybe...

I uploaded patched driver to github: https://github.com/mik9/android_kernel_acclaim/commit/80b53c5ee8140026dadeac588fb8e3cacac9747b

It should be compatible with both our's firmware and 5-fingers firmware.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
I requested the sources from Focaltech a few days ago. How can we identify other 28x16 devices?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Any way to flash this into current ROMS?

Sent from my CM9 Alpha 0.03 Nook Tablet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
"cat /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-2/2-0038/rawbase" should output table 28x16, items of table should be near same (example), I don't know another way...

You will get dead 1cm space near top and right border. Wait when correct firmware will be available.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kbitz:
Has this been tested with the v14 firmware from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25495499&postcount=370 (from the 3.x kernel dev thread)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
Yes, that firmware give only 2 touches too.

And v84 too, same 2 touches with flipped x coordinate.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Maybe just maybe Rebellos could help out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Is there a way to dump the firmware?

I can ask at forum to dump it.

All i saw manage is 5 touch point though, but will be enough.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
Our driver does not have sysfs interface to dump firmware. Other devices with ft5x06 use different driver but seems it does not have any sysfs interface.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
So all we can do is hex edit/patch the current firmware?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Why do you need dump firmware? We have the current firmware without dumping.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Not our firmware, other tablet's with Focaltech FT5406EE8 touch controller.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Is there any way to edit the firmware to share the deadspace alone the margins, instead of top and one side?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mik_os:
Complexity of this equal to complexity of patching firmware to support our touch panel.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Rebellos:
Could you provide me few binaries with correct and (if possible) different touch area arrays aswell?

I don't promise anything as it's Intel 8051 assembly, which I've never worked with before. :[
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Here is a 5 Touch firmware for ft5206 for 1024X600.

I hope to be useful to us.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
After finally a lot of searching, endless hours of speaking with companies having different tablets but same touch controller ;) i present you all the firmwares of our Focaltech FT5406EE8 touch controller :)

Now all we want is a developer to get everything put to work :)

Attached is a treasure hunt or maybe a 5 touch dream for NT lovers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Here is a package i made from everything put together.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Thanks to Quarx2k, Tripledes and everybody else

This is for the Aurora V3, with the LG IPS screen but should be compatible with ours also.

adb remount

adb push files/ft5206-1024X600.bin /system/vendor/firmware/

adb push files/ft5206-sc3017-1024X600.bin /system/vendor/firmware/

adb push files/ft5x_ts.idc /system/usr/idc/

adb push files/ft5x_ts.ko /system/lib/modules/

adb push files/libinput.so /system/lib/

adb shell chown root:root /system/vendor/firmware/ft5206-sc3017-1024X600.bin

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/vendor/firmware/ft5206-1024X600.bin

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/vendor/firmware/ft5206-sc3017-1024X600.bin

adb shell chown root:root /system/lib/modules/ft5x06_ts_2plus1.ko

adb shell chown root:root /system/lib/modules/ft5x_ts.ko

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/modules/ft5x06_ts_2plus1.ko

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/modules/ft5x_ts.ko

adb shell chown root:root /system/lib/libinput.so

adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/libinput.so

This is done on their hardware so the touch screen works.

Proccess taken from attached package from *.bat file

Wrote them here so developers have a glimpse of the proccess for working touch controller.

This is the end of my quest, now everything is left to the dev/community.

Thanks guys.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Thank you, fot your hard work, Demetris.

Archive contain firmware for ft5206, ft5306 and ft5406. On NT we have ft5406 IC.

From datasheet

FT5206 - 15 x 10

FT5306 - 20 X 12

FT5406 - 28 X 16

Thus firmware for FT5206 do not usable for FT5406.

For 5406 you found such firmware

ft5406_MID8042_800X600.bin

ft5406-sc3051b-1024X768.bin

ft5406-sc3051b-800X600.bin

ft5406-sc3052-1024X768.bin

Can you give link to kernel drivers for it (source)?

hello guys i am a noob.

hi i have an allwinner tab similar hardware to ainol novo 7 advanced

i flashed few firmwares on it of different tabs( ployer momo 9 , ly f1) and they were working good

except novo 7 advanced firmwares ( touch was not working at all )

then i flashed a different firmware(onda v140) on it and the screen went white when powered on .

then again i flashed my default firmware everything is working now but touch screen is responding very differently . this is a capacitive touch . i have even tried flashing those firmwares which were working perfectly before but now the problem is common in all firmwares i flash .

and someone posted a link to the solution

here

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=296921&st=1320#entry12972207

which has a link back to this thread .

and after using that fix my tab is working better but still not fully recovered.

the touch happens 1cm on the bottom left where i touch similar to your guys.

can you please tell me how do i restore my original touch settings on my tab.

please please reply me and help please i sincerely request you

thank you for your precious time

https://github.com/Kuzma30/kernel3NookTablet/commit/a0d35a5ae96d31d5e10d993e51dd1972490cc429

5-touch firmware works like a charm but I found something weird... I can't update firmware from current kernel. I used old one from ICS build to perform update. Who broke it? :)

P.S. I didn't tested the driver with original firmware, it might be incompatible.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
I update it (firmware) with current kernel, but need 10-20 tries while run fwupdate command.

Update

Add video :)

Awesome, Can u up video update firmware ?

I don't know how to do :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Great work mik_os!

I just compiled the kernel for jellybean with the new driver . I haven't updated the firmware yet, but I can tell you that touch still work but it's all mess up. The touch orientation is flip. I am assuming it's a fix for the new firmware. This is very cool. :good:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
More details please?

I tried 'echo ft5406-sc3052-1024X768.bin > /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-2/2-0038/fwupdate' a bunch of time in CM7 terminal, but nothing happen. I have ft5406-sc3052-1024X768.bin in lib/firmware. What am I doing wrong?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Try with ft5406-sc3052-1024X768.bin in /system/etc/firmware
