Anyone else had this issue? I've never had any problems until today, but my power button does not function properly. I cannot click it to lock the screen, nor can I unlock it using the button or hold it down to turn it off. I am forced to used the Home button to unlock the screen.

I have tried removing the battery, but as soon as I put the battery back in, it instantly powers back on.

Anyone else seen anything like this?

Hi ppl,

I'll soon sell my SGS2 to a family member's friend.

He's not fine with CM9, so I'd put back stock (even latest ICS) for him.

Unfortunately, I've no Windows PC (so, no Odin), and also always had problems with Heimdall (on my MAC).

So, I'd like to ask:

is it possible to flash an european (even better, italian) stock ROM, all set (ideally with no triangle, I managed to reset it on CM9 but won't be able to do that on stock once root is gone) directly from my actual CWM recovery ?

MANY thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
You may be able to with Mobile Odin, i strongly recommend you purchase the Play store (paid) version.

First install and run Triangle Away also by Chainfire to reset flash counter and remove the Yellow Trianlge at boot. Next download your stock firmware and flash with Mobile Odin. Remove the option to Root, install busy box etc.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Yes mobile odin or cwm recovery will do the job of flashing a stock rom, & flashing a stock rom this way will not give you a yellow triangle or increase your flash counter! if you want to clear/reset your flash counter before you flash the stock rom, then as already mentioned use Triangle Away app by chainfire for that, but you don't mention your galaxy s2 model or carrier? do you just want an unbranded/unlocked stock rom?..... either way this is where you'll find the latest official stock roms: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1#osa

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfEngr:
Ok, I posted this question in 2 other threads that had info on the process (will delete the posts when this one goes live), but no responses after a couple of days. One of them is old though.

I have TWRP 2.1.1 installed. ADB seems to be working normally. Superuser is working fine after booting to android. I'm running a custom ICS ROM (Energy); read that stock ROM can cause issues repartitioning.

I started with this How-to as it looked very straight forward.

I start throwing the commands at ADB and here's what I got for my efforts:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # su
su
/sbin/sh: su: not found
~ # cd /data
cd /data
/data # ls
ls
/data #

decided to go ahead and check the mount command:

~ # mount
mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
~ #

and parted just for giggles:

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3
Using /dev/block/mmcblk0

Model: MMC MMC08G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7818MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

11 2041MB 2309MB 268MB ext4 cache
12 2309MB 7690MB 5380MB fat32 media

(parted)

Ok, so that much worked. Now I tried to shrink 12 so I could double the size of 9. I want to get Switchme set up for his/her profiles and 500MB just isn't going to cut it.

That's when I hit a brick wall:

(parted) resize 12 2846 7690
resize 12 2846 7690
resize 12 2846 7690
Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
One thing that jumps out at me right away is this:

adb shell
~ # su
su/sbin/sh: su: not found

It seems you are not actually rooted.

To check, enter:

adb shell
ls /system/xbin

If you don't see "su" in the list, then you don't have root permissions, which would probably prevent you from doing what you need to accomplish.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfEngr:
That's what I was wondering, but apps are able to ask for and receive root permission from within the ROM. SU does exist, just not where the shell is looking when in recovery.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # ls /system/xbin
ls /system/xbin
ls: /system/xbin: No such file or directory
~ #

I did an ls /system/xbin from adb shell and from Terminal Emulator within Android and both returned a long list containing SU.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
TWRP provides an unsecured (unsecure? insecure?) boot. Whatever the terminology, it gives you immediate access to root privileges. Apparently CWMR (which was used in the OP of the thread you used) does not and so that author had to use su. For TWRP, it's not necessary and not even available. You already have root privileges as indicated by the hash prompt.

I tried resizing my /sdcard partition and it worked fine with the command you tried. I'm not sure what's going on with your storage device that it wouldn't resize it for you. At first I thought it might be mounted, but your mount command shows otherwise and parted gave me a different error when I had it mounted.

I don't know if this is going to help you, but you might try giving it the "MB" suffix in your numbers....

resize 12 2846MB 7690MB

Maybe even try changing units to bytes and giving the resize command byte sized boundaries.

unit B
print

will show you the numbers in bytes and you'd have to use the "B" suffix as in the "MB" example above.

If none of that works, you can always remove and remake the partition. For example...

rm 12
mkpartfs primary fat32 <start> <end>
name 12 media

You'd obviously need to insert acceptable boundaries for the start and end into that command. It might even be easier to just remove all 9, 10, 11, and 12 and remake/rename them, but remember 9, 10, and 11 are ext4 filesystems so the above mkpartfs command needs to be tweaked accordingly.

One thing I noticed while I was experimenting with the partition table this morning... all of the existing partitions have been allocated in 128MB chunks. I have no idea if this affects performance. I'd imagine you'd only need to stick to the 512B sector sizes, but you might want to stay with those conventions if it's not too inconvenient for you.

If you mess up the partition table, you can always go back to fastboot mode in FFF and use the...

fastboot oem format

feature to bring your partition table back to stock.

Good luck.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfEngr:
Wow, excellent response. Just the kind of detail I was hoping to get and it confirmed a few suspicions I had while searching the kindle threads. I'll report back on my degree of success when I get some free time to tinker.

I have a nandroid backup (also saved to PC) just in case and saved the partition table as-found. If everything gets hosed and I do an oem format I can just restore that and go or try from square one again, yes?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
I'd say that's a safe bet. Just be very careful about handling partitions 1 and 2 because those two are critical to getting anything to boot on your device. As long as you don't touch the xloader in partition 1 and have FFF installed in partition 2, you can rebuild the rest of it.... in theory. I only say "in theory" because I've never actually had to do it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

A couple of additional things I figured out after you put me to work with parted.... ;)

It looks like parted doesn't know how to make an ext4 filesystem, so mkpartfs balks if you tell it to make one. You'll have to use mkpart which just makes the partition, but not the filesystem. Then exit out of parted and use mke2fs, which despite its name knows how to make an ext4 filesystem. Like this for the cache partition...

mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

The other thing is that parted sets a "msftres" flag on the fat32 filesystem it makes. The flag apparently is to tell the OS that it's reserved for Windows, or something like that. I didn't have a problem mounting in Linux and MacOS X, but the stuff I've read seems to indicate that older OS's have a problem with it. Unfortunately, the version of busybox on TWRP doesn't have a module to make a fat32 filesystem. I'm looking around to see how to get around that.

In any case, this should get you most of the way there. I'll followup if I find something out.

I have a IIgs sitting in the basement... but it's not a mac, it's an Apple ][.

Found the last piece...

/system/bin/newfs_msdos /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

will make a fat32 filesystem correctly. I think that's all you'll need.

EDIT: OK, I must have been half asleep when I posted the above. That binary is on the stock system software I had mounted. There's nothing on TWRP to create a fat32 filesystem correctly.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfEngr:
So, I met with success following the repartition thread and tweaking it with your suggestions. I didn't quite move and many MB around as I thought, but it was enough to move me a little farther down the road with SwitchMe. At least it doesn't tell me I don't have enough memory for a 2nd profile now.

I still think it has issues with ICS or EnergyROM itself. When I created a new profile and rebooted to it I was stuck on Nova launcher instead of GO like the main profile. Strange.

I'll consider this thread to have fulfilled its usefulness. Thanks again for the help.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
I know, there are a lot of threads on rooting the Razr, but what I want is the simplest way to do a root that:

Works with a Mac (or at least a Windows VM running on the Mac)

Is easily un-rootable

Has the least risk of bricking my phone

Will still allow me to get ICS OTA once it becomes available (maybe next week?)

All I want to do is to root so that I can get rid of some of Verizon's 'bloatware', plus use rooted tools like ad-block, busy box, file manager (root), etc. I'm not going to install another ROM (at this time anyway).

So... based on that, which root method should I use? (supply a URL to the software/procedure if possible). :)

EDIT: My current version is 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US, Android 2.3.6

Thanks!

So I bought Sensation couple of months ago, unlocked it and it everything worked perfectly until now. I came to Europe for summer, tried to put a different SIM card in, and even though it reads the card, there is no signal, and it shows a little SIM card with an exclamation point in the upper right corner. It has been like this for almost a week.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Can you boot into recovery (i'm assuming you're rooted etc). Hold volume up, home button and power on until you boot into recovery, restore from back up or flash new firmware. Otherwise use Odin on your pc and see if it recognises your phone, you'll need to use download mode for Odin, hold home button VOL DOWN this time and power key. Flash a new firmware in either of the two ways. You don't need to be rooted for Odin.

Although i'd return it to base if its not rooted and still under warranty.

Hello guys,

When using Quadrant and looking at System Information under CPU it says "Cores 1". I tried the same app with Sensation One S and there is shows "Cores 2".

Is there something wrong with one of the cores on my Sensation, or is the app showing something wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
What ROM and Kernel are you using?

You could have a Kernel that's not utilizing the 2nd core, thus Quardrant wouldn't recgnize it's there.
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
I'm on stuck ROM 4.0.3.
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
Both cores on my phone show up on quadrant. Maybe your version needs updated?
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
I'm using version 2.0. Even tried to un-install and re-install.
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
Something is going on here. This morning when I ran the benchmark I got a score of about

2700 with both cores. Now when I run a benchmark I get a score of about 2200 with only one core showing up. Something is definitely wrong.
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
I'm only getting around 2200 every time. And it shows 1 core only every time...

EDIT:

If I restart my phone (no fast boot) go to System Information then it shows 2 cores.

If I do a Full Benchmark and after that go to System Information again, than it shows 1 core only.
[HTC Sensation] nangu:
There´s nothing wrong with Quadrant showing sometimes 1 core and sometimes 2 cores.

The second core on the Sensation is deactivated, and reactivated when certain thresholds are reached on system load.
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Not running on "performance"?!

You guys need to get some sort of app like SetCPU or similar and set your Governor to: Performance THEN do any benchmarks...oh, and of course close any programs running in the background and etc...

Also may want to tweak it up to 1.5 or 1.7 (currently on 1.7) and govern it to be OnDemand or Intellidemand and it'll only crank it up when you need it most.

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

Consistently over 3000 (avg. 3200)...probably could be higher with a different Kernel and stuff but using one that saves on the juice.

[HTC One X] hamdir:
use tegrastats and you will see its not requesting full performance mode

when you play S4E2 you will see the game is running between 640mhz and 1000mhz most of the time with only two cores!

run glowball and it immediately ask full performance quad mode @ 1200mhz

using setcpu and changing governors is no good since its unpredictable, performance gov never uses over 2 cores and interactive well its mostly using three cores

the best trick to play S4E2 for root users and counter the lag, use system tuner instead of SetCPU

leave it OnDemand and set the minmum to 1200mhz and max 1500mhz, if you want less heat 1200mhz min and max 1200mhz

this will force it to never drop clocks and hence never stutter, it will run mostly on three cores and sometimes asks for the 4th core

ofcourse remember to set back the minimum speed when you are done

can cdma-ware do this by reading the phone and storing the flash info for later use?
