Okay.. rooted my amaze, unlocked bootloader

Loaded up Emergy GB rom.. everything working great last night

left it to charge overnight

wake up this morning and battery indicator gets stuck at 100% on reboot.. if i plug it in it drops to 99% but doesn't change no matter how much I use the phone!

I don't know what the heck is going on, I've tried rebooting/pulling the battery.. what the heck can cause this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
You could try wiping your phone in recovery and flashing again
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
Thanks for the reply! I think it was actually related to the cable I was using... if that makes any sense (doesn't to me.. but I can't explain it any other way)

Used a cheap USB cable to charge it overnight.. when I plugged in the stock HTC cable and charger the indicator seemed to right itself.... so strange.. oh well!

[Acer Iconia A500] Krypt0n1te:
Guys, firstly thank you for an awesome community.

Ok, here's the problem, I've got two Brand New A500's

I've followed Civato's guide for the ICS V3 unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. First Tab went flawless and I was done within 25mins.

But now the second Tab give me the following when I do "adb devices"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

11525233415 device

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>"

That is only a 11-digit number and not 15 as it is suppose to be.

Thus I get the following when I check my SBK number

"If your SBK is wrong, you'll get this:

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)"

Any Ideas please??

EDIT: I AM A NOOB, and did not READ properly... I've already flashed the ICS Rom and should do the following...

"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] Krypt0n1te:
When I use my CPUID extacted by the following method...

"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."

I get my CPUID, but when I use the created SBK in nvflash I get the following

"C:\nvflash>nvflash --bl bootloader.img --sbk 0x97FE1E00 0x846FF106 0x6B261504 0x

30772103 --sync

Nvflash started

USB device not found"

Really not sure what to do here.

Currently on Rooted OTA ICS

Thank You

Wasn't in APX Mode.

All fine!
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Hold the reset button then the power button.

This is with a usb connected to your tab

The tab will go black and you do your upgrades through the pc to the tab.

For flashing different situations.

Essentially why my next phone will be a Samsung. Samsung is way more dev friendly. HTC absolutely f***ed the development on the vivid, even though its a top notch phone. They used to be king of the hill for devs, not anymore.
[General Topics] Felimenta97:
Sony is the most dev friendly companie I ever saw. Unlock bootloader to all devices, from the beggining, rent devices for developement, release camera libs and such.
[General Topics] ve6rah:
After their multiple fiascos over the years with other products I won't trust them for a second... think "other OS" on the playstation. a feature they advertised and sold customers based on and then revoked in a later software update.
[General Topics] Felimenta97:
What fiascos? Their phones with single core while the rest was with dual core last year? Or their updates? The learned from 2010. They release ICS for ALL their devices, with a awesome software tweaks that made their devices could follow other dual core competitors. And the UI is not heavy like TouchWiz and Sense neither ugly.

For prices, they're not cheap, just like all of their devices, but they make it premium. And stop a little and take a look at the rumours for their next big phones, Hayabusa and Mint. They will blow away One X and SIII.
[General Topics] ve6rah:
I listed one of the fiascos in the reply I made, I could add their rootkit fiasco on CDs a while back... or others.

They haven't screwed over android users yet, but their company has a long history of screwing people over on every other product they've made, I don't want to be involved when they decide to do it on a phone.
[General Topics] cl8:
Plus sueing the guys who created the PS3 jailbreak (Geohot, failoverflow), going after another guy who contributed to running Other OS on updated PS3 devices (graf_chokolo).Oh and removing otheros in the first place.

Yeah, Sony sure are dev friendly.

Back on topic, i'm totally with this, S-OFF is a crappy solution.
[General Topics] Felimenta97:
I may have said it wrong. Sony is very dev friendly on Android. Better now?
[General Topics] cl8:
Wouldn't know, i own a HTC phone, hence why i posted in this thread.
[General Topics] Rakeesh_j:
This. Only with Evo 3D. I'm done with HTC.
[General Topics] imheroldman:
Back to topic, yes the whole idea of s-off seems like a common place term, however, this is only because the manufacturer is creating road blocks and locks that keep us from doing what we want. Security and locks make sense, but for the user who understands the risks but simply wants to create custom distributions or simply upgrade firmware on their own schedule there should be a solution with understanding.
[General Topics] slapshot30:
No, this is still false. Sony killed off their own dev community. I don't recall exactly what device(s) it was, but I remember a HUGE fiasco involving them which resulted in tons and tons of devs deserting Sony.

No, security and locks like that do NOT make sense. Samsung SHIPS with unlocked bootloaders, and they don't seem to be having too many problems with it because they keep doing it. HTC makes you jump through hoops just to flash a recovery or kernel every time you want a new ROM.
[General Topics] imheroldman:
I am not exactly familiar with other samsung devices but I know that the Galaxy Nexus you have to physically connect the phone in fastboot and enter an unlock command...
[General Topics] MR4Y:
You think	HTC phones are harder to unlock? Motorola's phones are the hardest sobs to be unlocked. If you go back a few years, you'll see that almost every motorola phone required a hardware box or a very specific and hard to find software to be unlocked.
[General Topics] acizcool:
i have a s2 and everything is so easy to do. i still dont know what s-off is :p
[General Topics] Killbynature:
S-off is security off. Samsung doesn't have any security on their device. This is why samsung phones are so easy to unlock.

HTC unlock is really horrible way of doing things. Because of the boot img which is basically the kernel is blocked as well. If you ever looked in the kernel and at source a lot of stuff that is actually useful to the power user is turned off in the stock kernel. Especially latest Linux kernel patches.
[General Topics] shaun3010:
s-off on a HTC device is very difficult? have not s-off my sensation XE yet. how difficult is it comparing to samsung device?

Hey guys,

I read quite a lot of posts about cm7.2.0 RC 1, the buzz and GPS troubles.

Oh yeah - the surprise: also my GPS doesn't work anymore. Last cyanogenmod version i used: 7.1 stable.

So i reflashed the radio. Source:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads

First i tried 3.35.20.10 then 3.35.19.25 because the first one(latest!?) didn't worked, second neither.

What else can I do?

cYa
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
What didn´t worked?

The install of the radio with an error in cwm or the gps in your phone when using an app after the re flashing the radio?

If it is the first one, use cwm 2.5.0.7 i belief (but i think u already done that)

If it is the second one, turn gps on or otherwise i dont know. Hope someone els can help u then.

Hazou
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfur:
the gps itself...

but on the otherside, maybe both :-)

I checked if the flashing of the latest version worked(cm settings), turned it on, but the gps didn't worked. then I flashed a older (one-step) version. actually don't know if it's older. it was the second of the list(link above).

but now the cm setting is telling me I have the same radio installed as I had before flashing anything?!

where can I find this cwm version?

-thanks for your answer!! :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
Try flashing a new radio by fastboot method.Flashing a new radio via CWM never worked for me,even with CWM v2.5.0.7.I flashed 3.35.19.25 and my GPS works perfectly. :)

So you turned the gps on and then? U started an app like maps or gps fix that will use the gps? If u don't there will be no gps icon in the status-bar.

But maybe the fastboot method works ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] PEZ Dispenser:
I successfully rooted my XT862 with "DROID 3 easy root script v7.zip"

I installed Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap and was able to reboot into CWM recovery no problem.

I did some research and decided that Safestrap would be a "safer" option than the stock CWM recovery.

So as per instructions I first uninstalled the Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap, and rebooted just to be safe before installing Safestrap.

I installed Safestrap and rebooted hoping to see a new bootscreen that would allow me to press the menu button and get into Safestrap's recovery screen so that I could make a back up and get on with using a custom rom.

Instead I am stuck at the Motorola "dual core" boot screen.

I was able to get into the bootloader and from there into stock recovery. From there I hoped that having the stock recovery reset to factory default settings would at least allow me to get back into my phone.

Nope still stuck at the Motorola "dual core" boot screen.

I am assuming I need to get into fastboot from my boot loader and use RSDlite to flash it back to normal before I can continue.

Can someone tell me where I possibly went wrong in my process and where to find a good sfb to flash back to my phone so I can start over?

Quite a while back, I lost root and I lost my Google apps functionality after a new update was pushed, and so I followed this thread to get my Google services working again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401486&highlight=google+services&page=1 <-- that thread contained links to a download of a file that installed like an app that "fixed" Google services frameworks and apps that were broken after an update was pushed, but that download is no longer available.

I had since rooted again using KFU, and when the last update to 6.3 was pushed, I was pleasantly surprised that the update, while breaking root again, did NOT screw up my Google apps -- gmail, maps and gTalk all still worked fine! I don't know how, but when I look in my system/app folder, the one that gets cleared/overwritten when updated, there are no Google services framework or app apks in there at all, yet my Google apps all work fine (not sure where the framework and apps are installed now). I have since rooted once again using KFU. I'm a bit techy, so I don't mind messing around a bit with my device, BUT....

I am getting a kindle fire for my mother -- I'm going to set it up with GO launcher, a bunch of sideloaded apps, and I would like to also install gmail, maps and gTalk without requiring root to be maintained, basically because I am then going to ship the device to her and will not want to continue to root and restore the google apps' functionality after every next update is pushed, because I would have to get her to do this while I walk her through the process over the phone, and this is not something that would make anybody happy.

So, I am hoping we can revive the discussion about how to install the Google services framework and apps without requiring root or at least in hopes that future updates will not break them. I am not opposed to rooting the device while I set it up, because I will want to install a permanent animated wallpaper, but I will unroot it so that Amazon Video will work before I send it off.

I have done quite a bit of searching through old threads, and there is not much talk about installing Google services and apps without root and so that updates don't screw with them. But I know it can be done, because it is working with mine.

I think this would be helpful to a LOT of people who are not yet ready to root and/or flash a new ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
If its the stock Kindle Fire interface you want, just root it and flash the MoDaCo rom. It comes prepackaged with gapps and gsf and (I think) you don't have to keep re-rooting .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21282484
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
Thanks, but no ROMs. Gotta be stock kf with launcher and google apps.

All, I have a few assumptions and questions to bounce off you knowledgeable folks, since this is a forum of ideas:

As I recall, Google Services Framework and various Google apps are installed as "system apps" by using adb to push them to the system/apps folder. At least, I think this was how I did it back in December when I first got my Kindle Fire (maybe there are other ways, I dunno). And as system apps they install on bootup if not already installed. But the downside to these being installed this way is that when Amazon pushes an update, the update wipes the contents of the system/apps folder and replaces all apps there, so that our Google Services Framework and other Google apps are lost when Amazon updates.

Am I correct so far?

I have at some point installed Titanium Backup and possibly converted my Google Services Framework and other Google apps to "user apps", because when I look in the list of installed apps in Titanium Backup, I see that my Google Services Framework and other Google apps are listed in white and not red which means that they are "user apps" and not "system apps" (forgive my memory here, middle age is set in, so I don't remember what I have done with Titanium Backup -- should have kept a log).

So my questions: Could my Google Services Framework and other Google apps be now immune to Amazon updates screwing with them simply because they are user apps and not system apps (possibly converted with Titanium Backup)? Is this the solution to having Google Services Framework and other Google apps immune to Amazon updates? Am I answering my own questions (lol) or am I possibly missing something here?

Also, my Google Market app updated itself to Play Store at some point around the time that Amazon pushed update 6.3 and in Titanium Backup it is listed in green instead of red or white, so that there is no option to convert to system or user app.... not sure what that is all about.

If anybody is actually taking the time to follow me here, I appreciate it. I am just trying to figure out a way to take a brand new kindle fire, temp root it, set it up with all sorts of neat stuff like GO launcher, live wallpaper and Google apps galore, then unroot so that Amazon video works, and give it away as a super cool Android Tab for only $200 that is immune to Amazon Updates breaking the Google apps. This is my goal, and I hope it is useful to others as well.
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
bump?
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
I think you are basically correct. Other than GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, none of my google apps have stopped working after an Amazon update, and while I did nothing special to cause this, the speculation around here has been that updates to the apps caused them to get installed properly as user apps so they would keep working. What you may have done with titanium backup may have had the same effect, or it may have been coincidence (I will definitely have to check Titanium backup and see if I can do anything with GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter, because if I can get that to survive updates, I won't have much need to root anymore).
[Kindle Fire General] Dumpstar72:
I will try this today as I am doing a similar thing and anything that can prevent the google app store from stopping will be much appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] VoiceGuy:
I've had my Fire since January. Never rooted but did install Google services framework the first week I got it. Pretty sure this is the thread I followed to do it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401486 I've sideloaded Gmail, Books, Reader, Google+, Google Music and Youtube. All have continued to work fine after 2 updates from Amazon. So far the only Google apps that haven't worked for me were Currents and Play Store. As long as those 2 apps aren't dealbreakers this would accomplish most of your goals. You can change the stock wallpaper and get it to stick by using he app Rotating Wallpaper (not sure if it supports live wallpapers). By doing these things and using GoLauncher my Fire does everything I want it to without rooting. One other thought... you might want to consider putting Dropbox on it with a folder you can put apps (and updates) in to share with your Mom. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire General] VoiceGuy:
I just checked and Google Talk doesn't work doing it this way. Also, the app Rotating Wallpaper doesn't support live wallpapers.
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
You don't have to keep rooting? Are we sure about this? I have been reading about the MoDaCo ROMs and seeing the question asked, "will it still get the pushed Amazon updates?", and so far the answers have been yes. So it will get the amazon updates, which always break root and play store. Sure we could reflash the ROM but then it will get the update again, and on and on.

Are MoDaCo ROMs immune to Amazon updates? Are MoDaCo ROMs immune to Amazon updates breaking root and PlayStore?

I am really hoping that someone can confirm the above response, because if not, it will be a lesson learned about not believing the misinformation that some folks hastily post as a response to a question without actually addressing the question. I know he qualified it with "(I think)"... I should have paid more attention and confirmed that thought.

The reason I ask is because 6.3.1 was pushed to both mine and my mother's KFs a few nights ago just before I was ready to send it off to her for Mother's Day, and mine was bricked as a result, until I spent a couple of hours poking at it with KFU and adb to get it to properly boot and flash the updated ROM Amazon pushed. After that headache, I didn't want that to happen to my mother's with the next update in a month if I could not be around to fix it. So I decided to take the next step and load a ROM, MoDaCo GR8, on both mine first and then my mother's, and I already sent hers off yesterday, in haste. I am reading today that what was implied above may not be true -- that MoDaCo ROMs do get the Amazon updates and when Amazon pushes the next update, her KF could lose root and Play Store at best and be bricked at worst.

Without root, how can you mount system as rw?

[Kindle Fire General] JimCo06:
I can tell you that I flashed MoDaCo GR8 before the recent push of 6.3.1 and my KF was not affected at all by the update. I wouldn't have known that there had been an update if I hadn't read about it here. I have also read 3 or 4 post by other GR8 users indicating that they hadn't been affected either. I read the entire MoDaCo thread and I am pretty sure that the developer made a comment in it somewhere that he was incorporating something that he hoped would prevent the auto updates from messing things up. Based upon my experience it looks like he was successful.

Now for the disclaimer, just because MoDaCo wasn't affected this time doesn't guarantee that it won't be affected by future updates.
