Hi

I have upgraded my tablet to usa official ics firmware by changing the region to usa

In the process I lost my root now its like a official usa tablet

So is there anyway the sony service people come to know that my tablet was rooted prior?

There is no su user in the apps and the root is completely gone

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
I think they only check the serial code which is unique so, probaly there's nothing going on, also they probaly wouldn't notice it anyway.

But why do you want to know? is your device bricked do you have problems with your tab of is it just curiousity?

YF

Mahaco.
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
just curiosity coz if at all anyday if i face a problem then i need to say that the problem is due to ur hardware and ur company and nothing from my side so i need replacement...he he he...:D:p
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
Haha xD i get it, but i think you don't have to worry i had my device bricked, Really bad with root on in changed region to portugal for some reason? all my date was gone because there was a little tiny problem that may cause problems in Condi's 2.X tool with the region changer and that happend to me so it wasn't repairable condi did make a improvement to provide people to brick their devices, but i had to send it back with all those changes and you know what? still a usefull warranty XD they even replaced the MTB Chip and that cost is almost egual to the tab :P so im glad as long the tab isn't rebootable ( Fully ) then you can do everything you want rooting flashing etc., but if it can reboot and you have a other issue then its a high chance that they notice something thats different

Don't mind my ****ty english and i'm lazy now too :p
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
I didn't get ur last sentence

If the tablet reboots how or what will they notice tht has changed?

Plz reply back
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
They could simply see the superuser app nothing more thats enough to know that

you mess up things by your self, just unroot device and thats it, then again,

If your device can't reboot and you can get in recovery try too do a factory reset

before you bring it back, it wil reset last changes and clear the last update.zip info,

for example a rom or whatever,

If you have a Samsung Galaxy SII rooted you will see a Warning sign if you start it,

if you send the phone to samsung for repair they will see that you have it rooted,

and whoeshh there goes your warranty.
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
Whoa these gadgets are pretty tough to deal with

Thanks a lot for providing me clearing all my doubts.....

So can I just rename this file (Once it is extracted) to skyrocket.pit and use it in ODIN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
That's a partition dump, lots of trailing empty space that probably needs to be trimmed.

Attached is a copy that's trimmed down to 4KB.

As far as flashing the pit in ODIN, if you're comfortable in your knowledge and wish to proceed you obviously have a good reason for doing so.

Thanks for your time!

Now it works both through ADB and terminal emulator. Got 10mb image. I wonder if it's fastboot or Odin flashable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
System dump script

Attached is a batch file that uses ADB to perform a binary dump of every partition on the Skyrocket to the local hard drive. It requires that ADB and the Skyrocket drivers are already installed and working on the computer, and requires a rooted device.

It does not dump /system or /data, partitions due to their size, although this can be enabled by un-commenting the appropriate line(s) in the script. It also does not backup /sdcard because the sdcard is used for the temporary dump files on the device.

After doing this you will have a backup of the PIT, EFS, bootloaders, modems, etc. --everything.

As always, proceed at your own risk.

Hi guys.

My story is here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033458&page=2 , post#12

I couldn't use adb on Windows as there was some error while driver installation.

So I used Linux-machine.

Command adb devices -l gave me this:

~$ adb devices -l

List of devices attached

4305228e offline usb:1-1

Only when I connect phone swithed on (if I can say that because nothing on screen).

Other USB-ports showed the same, changing only port-number.

All other modes: Download mode, tried to enter Recovery, this command showed:

~$ adb devices -l

List of devices attached

Does any1 have any ideas if my phone is really dead? Or, maybe, I still have hope to recover it.

Dear sir,

Can You please clarify the following for me

Here

You say to properly b-up/restore EFS You need " mmcblk0p18 --Through-- mmcblk0p21 "

where above it shows " mmcblk0p14 " as being the EFS.img

Also in another post of yours I read something about finding efs1-3.bin files in a nandroid Backup to restore EFS how do these correlate to the above partition table

I only ask all of this because one of my two SkyRockets has a Zeroed out IMEI on the latest SlimRom

and I'm doing my research in preparation to fix it.

I do have a 10mb efs.img I found in my Clockworkmod folder in a subfolder called .efsbackup but I want to make sure I flash it to the proper location before I proceed

In a worst case scenario is it safe to copy partitions from one SkyRocket to another if so what Partitions are/aren't safe to copy I would assume the EFS partition is one that is not safe as it contains IMEI but thats only my assumption

That being said a list of partitions that can be safely transferred device-to-device "given they are the same device" would be very helpful also

Sorry I know there are several ?'s Here I hope I made it clear what it is I'm asking

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

[General Questions and Answers] 21770:
some advice

I agree with whodisname. When you root for the first time it's all about learning what is available. Just keep checking your phone's forum and reading everything you can about the ROMs and the kernels.

Next comes the frustrating part: installing and having things go wrong. They will, so make sure you are ready to reinstall all of your apps manually a few times. You should have a backup made from before you do any changes to your kernel or ROM. Keep that no matter what. And btw do not install anything ROM or Kernel that is not SPECIFICALLY for your phone model. You do that and it's game over Chuck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleomer:
I have a Galaxy Nexus, its running 4.0.2, no mods, root or whatever.

I'm sseing a lot of people getting 4.0.4 updates since a few weeks already, but my device is not recieving it.

Is it normal? Should I be worried? How long may it normally take?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevesmind:
I'm exactly in the same situation you are, been waiting for the ICS 4.0.4 update since March 28th and still nothing. (Vodafone Portugal, fyi)

I've been reading the forums left and right trying to understand why and how to get the update and here's what I've gathered:

- You are running a ICS version which was compiled by Samsung so basically all the Over-The-Air updates will have to come from Samsung, instead of Google.

- If you wish to get ICS 4.0.4 you need to flash the official Google Images which can be found here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

If you do so, you will no longer receive updates from Samsung and will most likely always be on the latest version of Android.

Now the down side of it:

- Flashing stock images might require you to root your phone which results in loss of warranty (and I'm not 100% sure on this one so I appreciate someone to correct me if I am wrong)

- It will erase all of your personal data. From photos, to SMS's, wi-fi networks, to app-specific settings, etc.

How to do it?

There's a couple of threads around, here's one to start you with:

if you are on a GSM network or a spring Gnex user...then there is an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no it does not require root, just unlocking the bootloader, which will wipe the device. it is easy enough to relock. instead of fastboot oem unlock, its fastboot oem lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
No need to reply to this—just looking for a good poll for 5GHz operation on this phone. If you are using 5GHz successfully or have tried, but are unsuccessful, please vote.

UPDATE:

For what it’s worth, I decided to do some brief experimentation with a business-class stand-alone wireless access point and, while I didn’t spend too much time on this, it appears the Galaxy Nexus’s ability to do Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is broken, non-existent or the device is simply coded (miscoded?) not to connect to UNII-2 5GHz channels (channels 52-140), which require the use of DFS. I was able to connect to this access point’s 5GHz radio using UNII-1, UNII-3 and the 5.8 ISM channels—so, for the most part, this covers channels 36-48 and 149-165. Hope this helps someone.

For more technical information on wireless channels, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels...

Cheers.

SECOND UPDATE:

So, while this worked great for months for me, I seem to be having the issue others have reported in that, all of a sudden, 5GHz has stopped working and I have been unable to get it to work again—and, to make matters worse, this issue has persisted even with Jelly Bean/4.1.1.

Shame.

THIRD UPDATE:

Problem still exists with 4.2.2 and I think the most relevant “official” report of the issue is at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22474.

If it works fine for 70% of the people but not for the other 30%, it might be some faulty hardware. Sometimes it happens.. Nikon is currently recalling a bunch of batteries which are defective and Apple did the same with iPod Nano and other products.

It may be a defective batch of GNexus.
