Questions about contents of various zips and sequence

Hi all you helpful folks:

I hate to be a stickler, but sometimes posts are just that _least_ _little_ _bit_ unclear, at least to me, so I ask to be extra double sure.

I have downloaded the following files:

1) VISION_RADIO_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19 and

2) VISION_RADIO_RCDATA_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19

from AmazingLarry (first) and EdKeys (second.) I also have downloaded:

3) vision_wipe_efs-signed.zip

4) VisionWifiCalling_v2.1_Android4.x.x.zip

5) -_SuperWipeG2+_-.zip

6) mimicry-1.4.0

The question is, what is included where, and in what order to these need to be flashed?

For example, does one need to flash _both_ of the VISION_RADIO zips I list above? I don't think so, I think what is implied is that the later one, from EdKeys, includes the radio _and_ also the rcdata file, but I wasn't quite sure.

Likewise, I guess (and it is _just_ a guess) that the "+" in SuperWipeG2+ means that the wipe_efs functionality is included...but I don't _quite_ know that, either. No need, in other words, to run both, just the SuperWipe+, or not?

Also, with 4EXT recovery, and its ability to do the EdKeys WifiCalling add-on (but only after one has flashed the radio outside of a Mimicry install?!?!?) and wipe efs (so blk_Jack seems to say in the 1.4.0 intro) I guess I am a bit confused as to what is where, and what order to proceed. I thought I understood yesterday, thanks to demkantor, but here I am confused again.

I realize that it is mighty difficult to go back and edit all old posts, guides, instruction-sets, etc., but when it doesn't happen, it does get might tangled.

Also, given 4EXT-recovery's ability to flash more than one zip at a time (in some order) could one, say, put all the needed zips into it at once, and flash 'em all at one go, before rebooting? For example:

Flash files 2, 5 and then 6 (which automatically adds in 4, on request?) That would be ideal...save a lot of reboots!

Or must one flash file 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, then 6...and skip reflashing 4 as part of 6? You see, this could be made arbitrarily complicated...I'm just trying to sort it out without screwing it up!

I'd be happy to clarify all this in a new post, and report on what files are no longer needed (as of today, say) for everyone...I don't code anymore, but can still write good English if called upon.

best regards,

p-d
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
If your partitions are already ext4 (convert accordingly in 4ext), then all you need to do is fastboot flash the radio+rcdata imgs and flash mimicry. Mimicry includes EdKeys' packages including the EFS wipe functionality.

You can use 4ext to format or convert your partitions to EXT4, circumventing the need for superwipe.

I can confirm that texts will send over WiFi (on EliteMod anyway), but not mms messages.

I have two routers in my home which always seems to throw Android's WiFi signal indicator for a loop (will show 1-2 bars directly next to a router), and even when right next to a router I'll sometimes have WiFi Calling produce a lot of static. Related?

as soon as my phone boots up it crashes, and if i open the app it also you guessed it : crashes

Did i do Something wrong, or is it simply not ready for JB ?

When you use the app 'Friendcaster' most notifications will work.

But with official Facebook app I think nobody has got the notifications working (except Messenger notifications).

[HTC Rezound] Daswolven:
So I'll be making a second go at this inan hour or so. I'm leaning towards Clean ROM 4.5 pro. Questions are:

A) I am thinking I'll follow the instructions for S-On installation, and look at playing with the wire trick later in the week. I'm unsure if it's better to S-Off first, and if so, why?

B) Clean ROM looks solid and stable, but I haven't had time to read deep on any other ROM posts yet. Should I anticipate any bugs, or is there a strong recommendation towards any other ROM?

Plan will be to unlock, OCR, install OCR hboot, and follow the S-On Clean ROM installation instructions. Identifying any pitfalls with this in advance would be awesome.
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
If you are capable of following instructions just s-off now to save yourself the hassle later.

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Daswolven:
So:

Unlock Bootloader

AIO to install AmonRa and get perm root

S-Off per http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-rezound/

Install Clean ROM per S-Off instructions in the thread

Assuming the order here is good, only question is whether it's recommended to install the juopunutbear hboot at the prompt?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
If you do install the hboot make sure you get the right one for your firmware
[HTC Rezound] Daswolven:
Interesting, I noticed after achieving S-off that the bootloader again shows as locked. Not sure if I should go through the unlock process again or not. Thinking that may be a bit immaterial at this point...
[HTC Rezound] Putts:
You don't have to worry about unlocking the bootloader again. Once you're S-off, you're good to go.
[HTC Rezound] Daswolven:
Much appreciated. Made sense, but wanted to be sure.
[HTC Rezound] Putts:
Clean ROM is very solid for the most part. The biggest bug that I can speak of is the fact that the screen has a tendency to go to sleep during phone calls, and you need to press the power button to wake it back up. Other than that, it's very smooth, very reliable.
[HTC Rezound] Daswolven:
All the help is appreciated. Not new to this, went from the G1 to Nexus to Fascinate to Thunderbolt to Rezound. All rooted from the day I brought them home. This process was a bit different, and happy to say I'm up and running Clean Rom without issues. Looks like I still have the GB Hboot, and swype doesn't seem to work properly, other than that it's looking great.

I installed SetCPU to throttle the kernel for battery, but it doesn't seem to put a dent in quadrant scores. And idea if it works properly on the stock kernel?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quarky42:
I have a mostly stock Droid Razr Maxx with the latest .181 Update and I have noticed that various apps / games just simply disappear after a while. (I have Titanium Backup running on a nightly basis, so I can restore just about anything that goes missing, but it is a pain in the butt and is a big reliability issue for me.)

I am not using the SD card for apps. They are all in main memory.

Some are from the Google Play Market and others are from the Amazon Market.

Any thoughts on why 50+ apps are lost / uninstalled / missing on their own?

The apps I have frozen right now are:

Apps

Backup Assistant Plus

Backup Assistant+

Backup Assistant+ Contacts

Backup Assistant+ Media

Email

Email Accounts

Email Authenticator

Email Engine

Flickr Authenticator

GOTA

IM

IM Presence

LastFM Authenticator

LinkedIn Authenticator

MOG

MOTOPRINT

MusicStore

Photobucket Authenticator

Print to Retail

Social Location

Social Messaging

Social Messaging Service

Social Networking

Social Sharing

Social Status

Universal Inbox

Universal Inbox (yes, listed twice, two different icons)

V CAST Tones

Verizon Video

Voice Commands

Voice Search

VZ Navigator

Yahoo Calendar Service

Yahoo Contacts

Yahoo! Mail Authenticator

I had one called "Upgrader" or "Updater" (don't remember which) frozen. I just unfroze it, so I am hoping the problem goes away, but I'd like any information or help anyone is willing to give.

I can pull the logcat if anyone wants to look at it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] now.i.feel:
Yea it works even when you are rooted.

To change the region you gotta change the serial number of the device firmware in the build properties To the location where you want to change . The serial number is in the format XXXX-XXXX.

Or you can do it the easy way using flash tool.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
Thanks for the answer one last question is if i change my firmware to another region using flashtool do i need to have an unlocked bootloader ?? Also if i change my firmware and flash for another region will that make it bootloader status unlockable in the service menu ??

never seen or heard of them until now... cool idea... I imagine it would not attach to an Otterbox case, I have to use one of these because of the harsh conditions at my work. I have dropped my phone from two stories with an Otterbox case and the phone is still working without a scratch! And the Otterbox case makes this already quite large phone HUGE... making it less susceptible to dropping.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erion_vl:
Hi guys,

have a question here

have a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S2 I9100 running 4.0.3. Due to the last update, i decided to flash the latest samsung stock rom in order to get rid of t-mobile branding and the possibility to update ( with Kies ) whenever newest rom is relased by samsung.

Followed the rules of flashing with odin given hier on the forum and everything went fine. Now if i check with *#1234# i get the I9100XENLP5 version of the firmware, which is good, but some problems remained and a new one appeared.

1- I didn't get rid of any bloatware apps of t-mobile and can't uninstall them either.

2- Connecting the phone to Kies does not show the firmware version of the cellphone but it says " Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"

Is there a way to just flash the Galaxy S2 totally free of T-Mobile branding and after that to still be able using Kies for future updates?

Thanks in advance

Flash a stock rom will remove TMobile stuff

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
just flash any of the roms from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 that say unbranded on them

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erion_vl:
Thanks guys for all your fast answers.

I solve it, found somewhere in another Galaxy S2 forum that after a flash you need to boot again in recovery mode and do a wipe/factory reset. This hepls to reset / rewrite the csc code ( TNL to XEN, in my case ).

This is from an other forum...

"One last final step is to change your CSC code by typing this code in the phone dialer *#272*<your IMEI># (the code will be listed at the top of the screen. If you're coming from O2 PAYG handset it should say O2U. Now Enter recovery (volume up, home, power keys together) and do a factory reset and choose reboot phone Check your CSC code again Hopefully it will now say XEU "

Maybe this final step can be added to the "Odin Flash guide " found on xda to prevent future threads like mine.

Cheers and thanks again

[HTC Amaze 4G] Trewyy:
Hello XDA,

First of all, thanks ahead of time for helping me out.

My HTC Amaze 4G is rooted with the regular Stock ROM - in other words I only used my root to change the processor speeds (usually make the CPU slower to increase battery life).

I was watching a video yesterday using MX Video Player which was decoding the video in Hardware mode. Other details about the video is that the video format was h.264.

I was watching the video, and then all of a sudden, my phone freezes up, and nothing works at all. I am unable to sleep the screen, none of the capacitive buttons or the volume buttons work, and holding down the power button is also useless. I waited a few minutes, occasionally trying to turn it off by holding down on the power button. After nothing happened for many minutes, I removed the battery (which turned it off), and then reinserted it.

Because Android has hideous boot times when not turned off properly, I decided not to wait, and instead went to bed. This morning I try and turn the phone on, and it wont budge. I try a number of things to get it on, such as removing the battery and the SIM card, and many other combination of tricks. Once again, nothing worked. I should note that when plugging the charger into the phone, the orange light does appear occasionally, which means that sometimes it will show up, and sometimes it wont. Also sometimes when I plug the charger in, the orange light flashes on and off, sort of like a notification, for about 10 seconds.

It would be awesome if someone could help me out, as the carrier I'm with sucks at repairing/replacing phones because they are super cheap and annoying (Mobilicity).

Thanks,

Robert
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
your battery most likely went bad because you didnt pull it when the device locked up... so you may need a new battery if you ever want to boot again.

next time if your phone locks up, pull the battery instead of letting it go.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Your battery is dead. You should've booted it right back up after you pulled the battery. One of the issues with root and the wrong recovery is not being able to charge the phone when the phone is off. Get an external battery charger or find someone with the same phone or battery and start it up.

Now...please check the other threads requarding Amaze being bricked or unable to power on.
