[LG Optimus Black] igor45:
Thanks!. I used SFT on another LG, was easy as pie.

So, SFT will flash whatever you feed it to the device and wipe it (it's a nandroid)? BUT can flash ROMs only if they are in proper bin/fls format?

If so that makes sense. Little confused by all the options/non-options for rooting v20i/2.3.4, and I don't care to keep what version I have to get root. I just want to be able to use custom ROMs on my black.

Sorry for all the questions - I don't fully understand the LG roms/system yet.
[LG Optimus Black] SamBG:
ya u need a proper bin/fls file...flash any patched stock lg rom..then u ll b able to go in cwm recovery and flash any zip files..:)
[HTC Wildfire S] Lukesta9:
Ok so i have a HTC WILDFIRE S MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

But what ruu do I download from HTCDev.com?

Is it the HTC EU one?
[HTC Wildfire S] Fikus011:
if your WFS is A510e then EU is the one to download...i am not sure about others

hope i helped
[HTC Wildfire S] Lukesta9:
Mine is HTC WILDFIRE S A510b what do i do?
[HTC Wildfire S] Fikus011:
where are you from? i think you can use EU RUU as long as you not cdma user...thats marvelc...if it doesnt work..no big deal...that can be done again with another RUU.

READ THIS I FOUND ON ANOTHER FORUM:

100% SUCCESSFUL!!! I am now HBoot Unlocked I have awaited this day for to long...

Ok so I brought the phone from Telecom, it says its a A510b, model number PG76120 (found behind the battery, just below the SIM card slot)

So what I have done to achieve this result:

1: Simply sign up to the HTCdev website www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ once done, select the HTC Wildfire S from the drop list to begin

2: After accepting all the terms and agreements bla bla their is a list of ROMS, their was only 3 options for the model that I have PG76120, so I downloaded the HTC Thailand RUU

3: Ok so if you end up running the RUU it will tell you that the ROM is out of date with an error message, what I found out (this took me all day...) when you first open the RUU (this is if you run Windows) their will be a Temp folder made with all the files that the RUU needs to run, if you search the Temp Folder (usually found under the user folder in Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Temp) these files will only exist if you leave the RUU Program open, so just open it up and move the window to the side, search under the Temp folder for rom

4: You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop

5: Now change the name of rom_01 (im not 100% sure if its 01 or 02 that you need to do first, I cant remember) to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2 (it should only ask to update the radio, because you need to do it first before you use the second file which asks to update both the radio and hboot) allow to do so and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot.

6: Now change the name of the second rom (if I have the order right this should be rom_02) to PG76IMG, remove the first file you put on the microSD and replace it with second, back into HBoot, it will read the file and ask you to update HBoot and Radio, allow it to do so and it will update the HBoot, should say OK next to HBoot, once completed it will ask to be rebooted

7: To check that this has all happended correctly, go back into HBoot (remove your microSD before this) and you should have a pink box up the top stating *LOCKED* if you see this and your HBoot version is now 1.08.0099 (if you used the RUU that I did) you are now ready to go through the HTCdev Bootunlock process

8: Do the HTCdev Bootunlock process, it is straight forward and easy to do!

9: Forget needing to use the XTC and starting modding you HTC Wildfire S!!!

hope this helps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brob925:
I am coming from an iPhone 4 starting tomorrow when I go pick up my One X from AT&T. One of the main reasons I'm dropping the iPhone is lack of customization that Android users get. Which brings me to my questions...

From what I understand AT&T isn't allowing HTC to allow us to "unlock our bootloader". So does this mean I will not be able to "root" my HTC one X and therefore not be able to flash custom ROMs onto it?

Next thing, say I don't like the bloatware AT&T adds on there, or maybe I just don't like Sense 4.0 all together, and I want a more "vanilla" android experience. How can this be accomplished without custom ROMs or rooting? (I know very little about launchers, themes, etc.)

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Rooting and unlocking the bootloader are two different things, that usually do go hand in hand. You can certainly root a device without unlocking the bootloader, and I assume that's what will happen first. Rooting gives you root access to the phone's filesystem, just like jailbreaking does on IOS.

A rooted phone is open to options like Titanium backup and SetCPU which will allow you to control your CPU speed and do things like underclock to get better battery life. Rooting also gives you access to tethering without paying for it.

With locked bootloader you can't install a custom recovery, which is the easiest way to install a custom ROM. Google Clockwork Mod Recovery for info on this.

As for changing the launcher, that's easy, Unlike IOS, where the entire gui is an app launcher, The Android phone's launcher can be replaced by one in the market.

Keep in mind, that when you use a launcher besides Sense, you'll lose the Sense widgets.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] LNKNPRKFN:
i use go launcher i works pretty awesome and is fast and smooth...check it out
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
If you are looking for a very Stock Ice Cream Sandwich experience, try out either Apex or Nova Launcher from the Google Play Store. They are more feature packed versions of the stock ICS launcher instead of the HTC Sense one.
[HTC EVO 3D] KikinSinz:
So, in prior to flashing a ICS Leak rom, i flashed freeza's PG86IMG, then flashed the ICS viper rom, now im just stuck at splash, don't know what to do need helps. Thx
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
Same thing happened to me too...seems like those two don't mix well.

I'm gonna research the unbrick method. Maybe that would help

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

I don't think that method would work for this...at least for my situation I'll need another sd card
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
pull the battery and get into the bootloader and flash a diff rom.. or restore your back up.. pull the battery put it back in hold the volume down and hold the power botton down.. u should be all set.. your not bricked.. being stuck at splash screen is not bricked.. bricked is when your phone will not turn on at all..
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Exactly. You are not bricked. If the device powers on, you're not. :) You might try wiping your partitions using a SuperWipe ZIP. But if you use 4EXT, you may be able to do that without one. Partitions have to be completely free of all old material for some ROMs to boot.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] KikinSinz:
actually, when i superwipe and rom flash, or restore, it still gets stuck at splaaaash :P
[HTC EVO 3D] NeoVsk:
I guess that best solution is to wipe all partitions using 4-EXT recovery and reflash some rom worked for me
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcargil05:
I have used Go Launcher since the start with my Tbolt. I use a lot of widgets and it bogs down. I thought I would try Sense. It runs great until I leave it (run a program or put to sleep. When I hit the home key I get a green and white HTC screen and it says "loading". With Golauncher you could tell it to stay in memory. Any way to make Sense stay in memory?

Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
If you're rooted you could try the v6 supercharger script. It makes the launcher harder to kill and helps it stay in memory.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
You could also add this to the bottom of your build.prop

Are you on a sense 3.5 Rom? Ive had that problem on sense 3.5 before
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcargil05:
I'm not rooted. Just using a stock TBolt. If I get rid of most of the widgets sense will stay in memory. It does run faster than GoLauncher (will all the widgets running). I'll just keep it minimal. So when is Verizon going to step up to the plate with the one x or s? Then I could run some widgets!

My school has a Wifi that is encrypted with a proxy, and there is no way for me to be able to use it. I can connect to the Wifi, and use apps like Mail, Opera Mini, Google Voice(Used to work but since yesterday does not wok on the school wifi anymore). Other apps such as the web browser do not work because they require you to input a proxy. Well I have a HTC Incredible 2 and on my phone if you go to proxy settings in the Web Browser you are able to input the Wi-Fi Proxy host and port, which I do and it still doesn't work. I then downloaded the app ProxyDroid and that doesn't work as well, I also tried the PAC and that also didn't connect. I know this isn't just my phone as I had the same problem on my HTC Incredible 1, LG Ally, and tons of other custom ROMs on this phone. Also nobody in my school that has any Android phone is able to connect to the Wifi. But on the iPhone's/iPod Touch the school wifi works perfectly and it accepts the proxy. What am I doing wrong?

My school's host name is Proxy, and its port is 8002. I can either use that or the PAC which is http://proxy.nycboe.org/proxy.pac .

I am not booting android, I am tring to boot a debian armhf (a linux distrubution) in mmcblk1p2(not chroot)

Without CONFIG_VT=y,I can't use X(I wonder how android work without tty)

Befote I set it to y,the rootfs will be mounted,and will not use initramfs(I have set nointrd and off initramfs supported in kernel,only give a empty initramfs to abootimg)

this file kern72588354.txt is the kern.log in /var/log ,whose kernel without CONFIG_VT

the other file is the /proc/last_kmsg ,whose kernel with CONFIG_VT

In fact,I use UUID to define the rootfs,it seems,mounted,but initramfs is also loaded,then it won't use the /sbin/init in rootfs,and it will use the init in initramfs(because initramfs is loaded first)

This post had better move to developer part,but i can post there

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly, but it's giving you an error about your header there. Have you tried just packing the ramdisk and init files with the zImage?
[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
packing the ramdisk and init files with the zImage?

what is it?

Do you mean that I should use a initramfs(but not android one,a normal linux one made by initramfs-tools)?

In that case,I think I have tried once before,the same result.

I wonder why kernel will load the initramfs in the boot partition,does the bootloader let kernel do that?

I even flash the bootimg to boot partition,no use.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It's possible the bootloader is doing something to it. If you are using 'fastboot boot boot.img' it's usually expecting a specially packed zImage & ramdisk, but I'm not sure if it's the hboot or kernel that expects it.

See: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

I have little experience working with kernels though, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable with them will be able to help more.
[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
I knew it,that is why I use abootimg to make a android img,but maybe there is no error in kernel,only in bootloader.

But I wonder why once set CONFIG_VT=y,then it will happen.

Maybe I should know how android show gui without tty
[HTC EVO 3D] hizukiayaka:
Maybe I should modify lk_bootloader fisrt(only fbcon part need),let fastboot boot it,then let lk_bootloader boot my kernel.lol,am I all right.

Is anybody getting this weird issue when they're typing: The keyboard all of a sudden just goes away on it's own after 2 or 3 keystrokes. It happens a lot when I use the Bing Search function. I'll get two or three letters down then the keyboard abruptly goes away. So I have to get two or three key presses in each time I restart the process.

Anybody know what could be causing this? It's not just limited to my Bing Search, I literally got so frustrated trying to start this thread through my phone's browser that I had to dig out the laptop instead.

[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
the symptoms are those of the disappearing keyboard issue with mango. Its supposedly fixed in this release of mango. However several people have reported seeing it.

I suggest you report it to Nokia at the web site. You won't be able to fix it on your own.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
This still happens to me occasionally on both my original Focus, and my Lumia 900. Both are updated.
[Nokia Lumia 900] iiDeadSeriousii:
Ok, I didn't know if it was a symptom of Mango or the Lumia. It's just so weird when it happens, I notice it when I'm low on battery more often, but idk what sort of relevance that would have. Thanks for the tip though.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JonnieLasVegas:
Yeah, I get it quite often on my Lumia 900. Also my Radar still has it happen occasionally, my girlfriends Radar has it happen more than mine. All updated as well.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SwimSwim:
Are you sure you're not accidently rubbing you hand/finger on the back button? The back button, since it's universal, will remove the keyboard if it's on screen. And because Back, Home and Search button all use capative touch instead of having to push them, simply rubbing or bumping them will cause them to activate.

I had this problem when I first got my Lumia, but I've adjusted and adapted.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
For me, definitely not. I've tested it many times on my Lumia and my Focus. It's definitely something to do with the keyboard deactivating itself. It happens to me a lot if I try to share an article I read in WP7 News app and go to email. When I try to type my name in the TO: field, I get one or two letters, then it goes away and I end up clicking/typing in the message body.

It seems like if I give it a moment to rest, then start typing, it's less likely to do it, but that's a little annoying, since I want to check my stuff and get on with things. Not a huge issue, mind you, but annoying none the less.
[Nokia Lumia 900] iiDeadSeriousii:
No, im not accidentally touching the back buttons.I'll ask my girlfriend if she's having the same problem, but it's gotta be a software issue from what I'm hearing now.

Huh, this doesn't happen to me though. Guess it's only effecting certian modles... Nonetheless, this kind of defeats their whole add campaign (Smartphone beta test is over)
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
at&t has not rolled the fix out yet, but the lumia supposedly has it. Other carriers that rolled out the fix, still report some problems, though not nearly as widespread. AT&T says they will roll out the fix around the tango release timeframe..i think it needs more work.

Mine is doing it now after updating to the latest software, this sucks! I hope they fix it asap, very annoying when composing text and the keyboard disappear!
[Nokia Lumia 900] iiDeadSeriousii:
I have actually noticed this problem less and less as the weeks have gone on. It's not so much that I'm getting used to it, cause I notice when it does happen, I think it was just a weird thing. I haven't had a problem personally since the update either.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mlekas:
Hi,

I don't have this issue on my 900 nor does my wife see it on hers. That said, let me offer what I know about the keyboard disappearing from previous hardware/builds.

When I had this issue on earlier hardware (Focus/Focus S) it was caused by apps set to run in the background. When an app is set to run in the background, the app would shift focus away from the current user task for a split second, and if you have the keyboard out the keyboard thinks you've switched to a different task and it closes. The way I worked around it was to disable background tasking for all my apps (settings -> applications -> background tasks. Note that when an app updates itself, it will reset this background task setting so you have to reset it. I never saw this problem again after I updated my Focus S to 8107. Still, it might not hurt as a troubleshooting step to disable background tasks and see if the problem reappears.

[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
Do you want to just backup your sd card? If so all you have to do is plug it in and click disk drive and it will pop up as if it's a jump drive. Make a folder and copy your contents in that folder and you're good. Also HTC storage will pop up too, if you have anything in there back that up in another folder and you should be good. Just make sure to eject both and not just disconnect it.
