maybe try renaming the bloat .bak with root browser.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Recovery backups save to your sdcard in a clockworkmod folder.

S-off is needed and the only way to flash hboots, radios, and splash screens. You also need s-off to flash recoveries thru hboot, but can also be done with unrevoked or rom manager.

Also you must be s-off to remove system apps, or anything from the /system folder or subdirectories, having root alone is not enough.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
yes I figured this out after I gained s-off and i was magically able to remove /system apps ;) thank you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I don't 100% buy that s-off is needed to disable/remove system apps. My understanding is that S-OFF is just at the bootloader level and would not affect system. Unless it has a deeper effect than that. Read/write access should be all that's needed and you need root for that for sure.

Just my 2cents. I could be wrong. Since it seems to be the case for you guys I may be wrong here.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjpeterman:
easy removal of some sys apps -"Covert to User App"

I finally was able to get rid of oem swype, then reinstall swype beta through the installer. I was not able to "force remove app (by recover/exploit)", i don't know what I was doing wrong. Maybe I just don't know how to use Titanium Backup well enough.

I used Titanium Backup, went to "backup/restore", scrolled down to Swype, long hold, clicked on "convert to user app", then I was able to remove it through the "Application Manager".

I haven"t tried this with other System App but it should work. I hope this helps. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
I agree with tiny, S-off shouldn't be required to delete system apps. I understand that you switched to s-off and you saw then light but is there any chance you may have changed something else while you were changing to s-off? reflashing the su-binary? switching ROMs? updating your ROM? Many of these things can also have an effect on your superuser position in life. Most ROMs are pre-rooted which means that the su-binary is already implemented into the ROM. If you updated or switched your ROM while you were in the process of switching to s-off, it is likely that you also updated the binary and gave yourself lovely superuser permissions once again. Also note that when you update using OTA and you are using stock rooted with S-ON that your phone will lose it's superuser binary in the process of updating and you wont notice the change until the next time you try to do something that involves SU. Just a few thoughts. Glad you got it fixed :)

You might also poke around the TB settings. I believe there's one near the bottom that removes the market link, although it should be enabled by default.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Comet1966:
anyone know of a sense 4 theme?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] easye420:
Yes. Its for galaxy nexus aokp though but it works on nexus s. It messes up mounting sdcard to PC. But works through recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Found a nodded version of it already... But it kept forceclosing. Guessing it wasn't tweaked correctly for 3.6. Can someone with the knowhow out there tweak the HTCIME from 4.0 to work with 3.6? I like the look of it a lot better,plus it adds the directional pad to boot which would make life a lot easier at times =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
do you have a link? i can check it out for you.

also, try just getting the keyboard from a sense 4 rom from the one x
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Since this is the only one I found in a very long search, I gave it a shot anyways, understandable that it didn't work since its probably tweaked for vanilla android -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585493

Hmm... Short of installing a Rom and extracting the apk with astro, jot sure of the vest method to successfully extract. Simply digging through the one S's Rom and extracting the apk from the zip directly failed (I got "did not install" from package installer). If there's a better way to extract the apk error free that might be all it takes to get it working for us =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Now we're talkin.

I don't have the luxury of creating a back up at the moment because I'm waitin for my girl to be off of work and need to leave my phone on for the time being.

Can someone confirm whether this one works for us ICS Amazers or not? It's from the One S ROM -

I imagine this keyboard isn't this high in demand yet because not a lot have had the opportunity to see it, but its EAY better =)

Testing right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
It failed to install. By just clicking.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
Here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Yep, that's what I've been seeing. Can anyone get this IME to work with our ICS? It's worth the effort. Let me tell ya. If anyone is curious, all you gotta do is walk into a t mobile store and play around with a One S for a few mins =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
You got that right.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
Instead of trying to install it, push the apk to system/app. Make sure to set permission first before pushing.

Remember to back up your stock IME.

Please don't do what the guy above me said...It wont work...you will only be able to talk to your phone and loose keyboard funtion

For WORKING Sense 4 replica keyboard on ICS Sense 3.6.. have a look HERE.. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Yeah, I'd already tried that. Doesn't work =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Sweet. Thank you =). The only thing (from the screenshots anyways) it seems to be missing are the arrows that allow you to move the cursor... But I presume that'd probably be pretty difficult to get to work on sense 3.6?

Also, thank you for using mediafire. Best upload server from my experience... It's never let me down and has no bs =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
I did install via adb and also through recovery. And nada.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jerrytan93:
Need some smali skills to hack the keyboard to unlock it's 'hidden' arrows.. but unfortunately I don't have such skills.. sorry for that.. :o

Future plan: I will ask for other themers / modders help for changing the keyboard text color to white, so that it will match the Sense 4 theme.. grey kb with black text looks ugly for me.. :rolleyes:

Looks like the updater-script does not works with your device.. even zip flashed successfully but the apk does not actually installed.. I will make another updater-script later and repack the zip file

For now please extract the HTC_IME.apk from the zip, push it into system/app, set permission, reboot and enjoy
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
The keyboard with arrows suck major donkey Richards. I wouldn't recommend it unless you really want it.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Hmm. That's not the impression I got of it at all. It's the exact same keyboard (HTC ime) with arrows added to it (which makes it way easier to move the cursor). What specifically didn't you like about it?

HI

My phone GT-I5510L from Movistar Venezuela is rooted fine but I was trying to unlock the carrier and did this procedure

open root explorer change MODE R/O to R/W

in terminal su

cd /sdcard

mkdir test

chmod 555 test

mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/stl5 /sdcard/test

cat /sdcard/test/mits/perso.txt

got my unlock code

umount /sdcard/test

rm -r test

change MODE R/W to R/O

reboot

The phone reboots fine but I notice a stop sing where the 3G should be

when I change the sim card the unlock screen never show up

and after a while the os reboot itself and message appears RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode)

The phone is dead o there anything I could do to save it?

Thank in advance for your help
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
So this file stored in /system/etc determines what type of storage sdcard and sdcard2 will be identified as. Basically sdcard2 becomes ext_sd.

While most applications are fine with using our phone's internal storage as the primary, google music does not and cannot find any music on my removable SD card. As soon as I copy it to internal it finds it right away. by modding this file, we can essentially have our removable SD card seen as primary storage and the internal secondary or as an external card.

It looks like they sucessfully made this change on the Rezound (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1383330 by changing the following:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 37 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2

to this:

dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd 37 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2

I mirrored this change by making ours:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 36 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2

to this:

dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd 36 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc2

EDIT: 4/29

Got it working! sorta.. The phone now recognizes the physical storage card as internal phone storage and the internal phone storage as the ext_sd card. Google music finds all music. I have to add a few things to the vold.fstab file to allow a computer to see the actual internal storage card when using the phone in usb storage mode. If you would like to try it, unzip the attached modified.vold.fstab.zip file and push the file to /system/etc via adb after deleting the old one. I have also included the stock one in this post.

KEEP IN MIND: If you wipe internal storage with your phone with this mod in place, you may wipe your SD CARD. Make sure you flash back to the stock file, or just don't use the wipe internal storage feature.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dharvey4651:
Interesting concept.. Curious if it would actually work for us.

Would be nice to have my 32GB card as my primary.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
I've modded my own and the settings are definitely in that file because my SD card dissapeared. Of course it was because I didn't do it correctly to match our phone but I would love to find the right settings.

[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
So what this does is have everything download and work off of only the external sd card?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lunaillij:
Thanks for the files. I'll give then a try.

$sudo make me a sandwich
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
It doesn't download anything. It does exactly what the thread title and first post say. The external SD card identifies as the internal or /sdcard and the internal SD or phone storage identifies as /sdcard/ext_sd.

Check storage in system settings. Phone storage becomes your external cars, in my case a 32gb card. The internal SD card becomes the external SD removable storage. The main purpose that I did it was to have Google music see my music files on my physical 32gb storage card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
I never said it downloaded anything. What I meant to say is, does this mod makes the SD card the only download path? Basically only having one storage place which will be the external SD card.

But I see you already confirmed it. I will try this.

Hi all,

I have uploaded my file here as i am lost on what needs t be edited in order to have my 16gb external as main or internal on my zopo 200.

Would anyone be kind enough to explain what needs to be edited.

Once i do this, do i need to reinstall ROM and re-root again which i do not mind as the phone is basically new and nothing much installed.

This is the vold.fstab of my tablet, a P10AN01 with a Vegabean ROM. It have 300mb of internal memory and this ROM takes more or less a half of this. I've searched the two lines to change but.... ...I've missed something or this tablet doesn't have option to swith?

Night before last my Droid X was upgraded via OTA from Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 , at which I lost my Root. So I started searching YouTube for videos on taking my phone back to Froyo. And I found just what I was looking for. Return your Droid back to Froyo. So I followed the instructions to the letter, I downloaded - RDS Lite 4.9 - Motorola Helper_2.1.40_5.5.0 - VRZ_M810_2.3.34_IFF_01 . According to RSD Lite the flash was successful. Droid X reboots, and this is what I was left with.

Bootloader

30.04

Err:A5,70,70,00,1F

MEM_MAP Blank

Service Req'd

Battery OK

OK to Program'Transfer Mode:

USB

I have tried SBFing twice and RSD Lite sees the phone, goes thru the flash, reboots the phone but I get the same responce on the phone as stated above. Although in my computer, the Droid is not detected.

In your opinions, have I done an unrecoverable bricking to my Droid?

Go ahead, I can take it.

TIA

:):):)

I used 4.5.621 SBF file, and was able to bring my phone back to the way it was before I got in a bind (Droid X SBF Files - Motorola SBF Files). It is alive with all of my Apps, so I'm not sure just what happened to it. But to whoever is responsible for the web site, I think P3 Thanks
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Great job on getting back to .621.

Unfortunately, being on .621 makes it impossible to flash back to Froyo.

However, you can root and install custom roms.
[Droid X General] dogtag1968:
yeah I know, but at this point I'm just happy to have my phone back in good working order. I had just bricked my Droid X2 @ 2 weeks ago, so now I don't have to face my wife with another $200.00 paper weight.
[Droid X General] whackashoe:
I have the same issue. Someone pointed me to this forum so I'll just include my text.

So I just got my first droid yesterday, it's a droidx from motorola. I initially factory reset it and cache cleared and it was working like a charm. Anyways, today I got the idea after reading over cyanogenmod following these instructions. Since I didn't have much on it I didn't backup. I remember vaguely updating the system previous to this, I think I was at 2.34. Anyways, I get done with flashing it- as far as I know it was successful- rdslite said it was complete. I try to do another factory reset, can't get into it. Just the bootloader comes up saying : Bootloader30.04 Err:A5,70,70,00,1F and a few things about to plug usb in and that it needs service...

I see something on cyanogen's page that I overlooked before:

WARNING: The 2.3.4 OTA release, the bootloader was patched to version 30.04. If an attempt is made to downgrade to an earlier version through the SBF method below, the bootloader will throw an error and the phone will not boot.

FLICK.

I tried the 1kds cd and it says it installed properly, I turn it on only to see same bootloader issue. I tried another rom and same thing. The last one I used was apparantly a 2.34 one and now my phone says code corrupt on the bootloader screen.

I need to find a way to charge the battery. I feel bad because it was a present to me from my girlfriends sister, and I don't want to see her and tell her I broke it already :(

But, can you guys help me with this? I don't really know where to go from here.
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
Sbf is the only way. And from what I understand if you did the. 621, you won't be able to do previous releases.

I could be wrong.

When it comes yo moto flashing, donkey skip reading anything lol
