[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
S-OFF will remain after RUU but there's a thread about returning to S-ON but make sure it's after the RUU or you'll brick your phone beyond repair.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
Running that ruu will get you completely back to stock with the exception of s-off. If you want to set it back to s-on there's simply a fast boot command you need to run. There are a few threads around here that talk about it if that's the way you want to go.
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
Here's the thread for s-on btw.

[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
Many thanks to you all. (of course I hit the button) ;-)

I'll run the RUU and leave it S-off. As long as it's on the upgrade path I'm a happy camper... and If I ever need to flash something for her, I can.

If it breaks or anything I'll be able to s-on it I suppose, she would only send it in through me anyway... (yeesh... kids :) )
[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
Still stuck trying to flash stock back to my S-Off rezound...

Uh oh. Still stuck. I run the RUU i listed above and it errors out.

I boot the phone into the latest RezRom (ics) and run the RUU; the RUU gets to the part where it says "ok, say ok to flash this" and then it comes up "unknown error".

Am I supposed to start this up while the phone is in recovery? or is there a zip I can flash like a ph98img.zip that would take me to stock, even if it's s-off stock?

Argh.

RezRom still boots up fine. I can reboot into TWRP as well.

Help! (I need a clue....)
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
try preforming a factory reset in bootloader then try the ruu again

[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
Thanks bud... that didn't work either.

When I run adb devices, I see the rezound listed... I'm still thinking there is a zip i could flash from twrp, but I don't know where to find a stock zip that I could rename to ph98img.zip for that.

I am a bit mystified why the RUU won't run.

the hboot is 2.25, could that be it?
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Does it say unlocked at the top by any chance? In hboot that is?

If so you run, "fastboot OEM lock" while in fastboot. Then run the ruu.
[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
It says "locked" but I do remember unlocking it before s-off. I'll chase that down a bit, I think you have something here. I'll let you know in a bit :)
[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
What ended up working was booting the phone into fastboot and then running the RUU. I didn't know you had to do that.... I don't know if I was just clueless on this one or if things are different with an S-Off phone.

Thanks, Dr. No :)
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
glad it worked out, second recommendation was going to be pulling the rom.zip file from the ruu.exe and running that through hboot itself.

Straight from Samsung's mouth!

This is great news!

Source: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Conf...xy-S-III-is-polycarbonate-not-plastic_id30304
[Galaxy S III General] enigmaamit:
Nice to hear. But you do realize that polycarbonate is just another kind of thermoplastic ploymer (read: plastic). It's got some unique properties that make it particularly suitable for a mobile phone's casing and so it's indeed good news for us prospective SGS3 owners. But however we put it, it's still plastic - which is not necessarily a bad thing. The One X is plastic too... and it's just the material thickness and surface processing that is different from the SGS3 - matte versus gloss (or hyperglazed as Samsung calls it).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_identification_code#Plastic_identification_code

They're grouped under Plastics as a material - As category 7 (Others)

So it's all plastic - both the OneX and the SGS3... just with a fancy name (and two different surface treatments) and I think that's the best choice of material for a 4.5+ inch phone to keep the chassis lightweight, flexible and durable, while also avoiding havoc with the various internal antennas that a mobile phone contains (as opposed to the so called premium aluminium).

I'm very happy it is what it is... and looking forward to playing around with one soon. Happy shopping everyone!! :D
[Galaxy S III General] Plexicle:
I'm well aware that it's a type of plastic, but now we're just into silly semantics. :)

Gorilla Glass is also a type of glass.
[Galaxy S III General] enigmaamit:
Can't argue with you there mate! :D

I wasn't trying to shoot down what you said pal... in fact I agree with you. What I was trying to get across was that I'm glad it's polycarbonate. Shuts the OneX fanboys up - it's not something exclusive HTC cooked up in its basement (unlike the now infamous Micro Arc Oxidation process), and is a very good choice of material as compared to conventional plastic. Obviously my communication skills need some work.
[Galaxy S III General] Plexicle:
Oh, no, I wasn't shooting you down either! I thought it was a good point.

It may look or feel like a cheaper plastic. But the durability and functionality of it are really what matters to me, and I'm happy to hear that it's polycarbonate. :D
[Galaxy S III General] enigmaamit:
Glad we understand each other. So you're planning to get one then, I presume? Hope you have a good time with it. :)

Getting mine next month. Will be combing this thread for user reviews before taking the plunge. This place will be exploding with info and revelations once the device hits the shelves (look at it already!!) . Be seein you around. G'day mate.
[Galaxy S III General] Reckless187:
I thought this was a known fact to everyone from the first day the SIII was announced lol. At least its cleared it up for anyone that didn't know. :p
[Galaxy S III General] Plexicle:
I'm not quite sure where you heard it, but I've been following every morsel of information on the S3, including the rumors for the past year. I watched the Unboxing event from start to finish when it was officially announced. I've watched and read every review in the last couple weeks. I've had mine on pre-order as soon as I was able to.

Hell, even a quote from the source that I just linked reads:

So, I guess the information was out there somewhere, but apparently I (and many others) have missed it. I certainly wouldn't say it was "a known fact to everyone from the first day the SIII was announced."
[Galaxy S III General] enigmaamit:
Have to say that today is the first time that i've come across this information myself... wasn't common knowledge so far. This was actually one of the major bone of contention with the HOX users who felt that it was exclusive to HTC's flagship. So as far as i'm concerned, it's new info, and certainly good news.
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
Great news, but also rather expected :-)

I have had the SGS 2 since it was launched in May 2011 in Denmark, and nothing has broken yet. The "flimsy" back of the phone is in mint condition after a freaking lot of battery changes. So it is hardly as flimsy as it may feel to reviewers when it's not on the phone. A part from some tear on the hump, and a scratch on one of the corners from one of the times I dropped it on concrete, there is nothing to see. It almost looks brand new.
[Galaxy S III General] jonathanyong:
I thought everyone knew that the sgs3 and HOX both used polycarbonate? The only difference being the sgs3 is glossy whereas the HOX has a matt finish. I mean, what did you all think it was? cheapo acrylic? :p
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Having dropped the S2 and the note hardcore on concrete and asphalt multiple times, i can definitely confirm the quality of the said plastic:p
[Galaxy S III General] riz157:
After reading S3 is made of polycarbonate I took closer look and you know what it actually looks the exact bloody same!!:D that is cheap plastic look, just what i wanted for my £500.:p
[Galaxy S III General] Yonatanl2:
Consumers are so dumb (no offence ofcourse).

Polycarbonate is Plastic, we, the consumers just like fancy words like Polycarbonate and we're sold on the product...
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
If this was Apple you know they'd have called it HyperReal3DPlastic or some such nonsense and the whole tech world would have gone mad over yet another Apple 'invention', and people would be complaining why other phones aren't as good.
[Galaxy S III General] Plexicle:
I understand that you feel like you're being smart (no offense, of course), but polycarbonate is a type of plastic. Speficially, it's stronger and lighter (and thus more expensive) than your run-of-the-mill plastic.

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-polycarbonate.htm
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Exactly lol. I didn't mind if it was called plastic at all as the plastic they use is more durable than any other materials manufacturers are using anyway. Polycarbonate does sound better!
[Galaxy S III General] Reckless187:
Nah, they'd have called it iPolymer or i something or other and if Steve Jobs were still alive and had made the keynote speech, he'd have said: "...it's just the best plastic ever..."
[Galaxy S III General] Plexicle:
A follow up article from the same source to help clarify a few things:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/What...ung-Galaxy-S-III-polycarbonate-debate_id30406
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
Hyperglaze is just a clear top coat of plastic over the color coat. This helps with fingerprints and gives it a more liquid look.

After owning two Samsung phones s2 and now gn I can say having plastic is better. When I had my ip4 I was always scared to drop it chip it scratch it.

Sammy did well

Try a reboot, worked for me.

I noticed this issue too. When i'm outside i can hardly hear my speaker. I did try a reboot and that didnt stop the issue. My wife has the same phone but her speaker is much louder on a unrooted virgin att one X.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joelszs:
Rebooting didn't fix it for me...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
Did you factory reset? Did you try and re-install the RUU? If you re-install, do a factory reset before boot up.

Unlock your bootloader and flash an ICS rom. Better than having the standard crap Sony Ericsson skin ruining the phone.

i thought about this, iwas looking through some roms and i said to my self " should i install a ICS Rom or wait for official update from sony"

when i unlock my bootloader and flash the rom if i want to revert all i have to do is flash custom rom and relock bootloader?
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
Yeah. Trust me though, the best ICS rom to flash for the Play is AOKP :)

Now it has theme support so its possibly the best ICS rom in terms of customization

Please stop with these threads already, these and the "what's the best rom" as well as the "Xperia play 2 patent submitted" type of threads are a waste of time IMHO, when there's one of them, fine, but you don't need ten threads for one announcement.

Agreed. No reason for someone to make another thread to the same topic, if need be just use whatever thread is current. OTherwise just wasting space on the forums and it makes it less likely that someone with a real question or thread is not going to be seen unless someone diggs through all the posts.

Hey guys,

as you can read in the title I really need a dump (dd) of your /data partition. You must run the T-Mobile ICS Leak and root. We need this to try another possible root method. Thank you.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lordvampire:
i installed tmobile ics leak and it is still rooted, so i did the dd of /data (/dev/block/userdata) but the file i created (data.img) is ~4gb.. is this what you want??

what i did was:

dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/mnt/sdcard-ext/data.img

if this was correct i can upload it somewhere...

edit1: now i am compressing it to a zip and its getting much smaller...

edit2: compressed file is only 399mb of size... i will upload it now on share-online

edit3: now uploading to shareonline, since my ULspeed is not the best, it will take some time for this 399mb.. uploading @45Kb/s.. will send the link next morning (~06:30MET) before going to work... need sleep now...

what did i do:

1) bootet in CM-Recovery

2) made a backup and WIPED

3) bootet in ICS (still rootet)

4) installed terminal and linda manger

5) made "dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/mnt/sdcard-ext/data1.img

6) compressed the data1.img to data1.zip (ca. 60mb)

THEN

7) bootet again in CM-recovery

8) "restore" the before done backup... but FAILED at "could not restore /system"

9) rebootet ..... BUT STUCK in BLACK SCREEN

the first "M" Logo appears, but then screen stays black, one short vibration, but screen stays black...

what i tried..

10) rebootet in Moto-Recovery and tried to install ICS Leak again (wiped before).. BUT

got an error while it is "VERIFYING the exixting SYSTEM"

what can be done? to rescue my system...

i will of course upload the data1.zip

[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
1st. Don't panic.

2nd. Don't fastboot flash system (If you have done this, there'll be no root anymore)

3rd. Check your pm

1) i am not in panic ;-)

2) i didn´t flashed over fastboot.. but i should still have my root backed up on my sdcard-ext....

3) my pm is empty..

whats very intersting.. my phone booted correctly.. i can call myself!!!

BUT my screen is fully weired... stripes and...

can i remote control my phone, so i could again boot into CM-recovery with bootstrap???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Just finish make the bootloop_hack script. Check now.

Don't share the file please (Simply because, I don't want Motorola to fix this vulnerable, not until official ICS)

In CWM, Mount /system

Wait until you got adb prompt

1.run "adb shell chattr -i /system/su-backup"

2.In CWM restore back your Nandroid.

3.run "adb shell chattr +i /system/su-backup"

Wipe cache before reboot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
It were better to backup and restore using titanium backup. It was already tested and we figured out that restore via cwm could cause issues. The dd you've made is ok. You can upload.

Sorry that you got problems. I didn't explain everything correctly, because I thought that you people know what you are doing...sorry. I hope we can solve your problem. I am at work now, will be back in the evening..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lordvampire:
the sum-up:

whirleyes helpt me getting into cm-recovery, but i think i LOST ROOT already, because i tried to restore my own nandroid (it restored for about 4minutes and then stopped with error)...

i am trying to get into adb shell, but dont know how to get in...

when i boot normal, the phone seems to boot (i can call myself) but only "MOTO"Disk mounts... although i had activated debugmode, i cannot connect in adb shell to backup my root...

seems that i have to flash dtrails nandroid without backuping su (coz i am too late?)..

i also get an error when trying to mount usb-storage in cm-recovery (Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)), so i can upload the zip-file when am at home..

You still have root access as long as you can boot into cwm.

ADB will eventually come, sometime it takes up to 3~4 mins before the init detect that adb is being killed.

I never succsesfully restored Bootstraped nandroid backup, I had errors as well, but try Advanced restore and restore data only, worked for me in that sweet time when I had root access

sent from RAZR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Wonder why??

Most of the time, the su-backup that being created by voodo rootkeeper gets in the way.

The voodo make this file immutable, so that it survive OTA upgrade. But recovery backup works in different way.

The recovery backup will attempt to delete all files in /system before restore. But it failed at this file.

It can't delete/overwrite this file, so it trigger error. It had happen to me too.

The restore process had failed for me. To the worst, I accidentally hit restart after that.

Then I got a bootloop. can't boot to cwm either.

2,3 days later, I figure out a way to inject /data/.recovery_mode & finally I can boot back to cwm.

This time, I take extra precaution & successfully restore my phone.

It's lucky for me because I don't have any compatible fastboot file.

I may have overwrite the system if I had the GB system.img file.

(p/s: most of the people on the ICS leak loose root by fastboot the GB system.img)

How does it go?? Just download dtrail1's nandroid, if yours is bad.

Whatever you do in cwm, just make sure you got at least this 3 files in /system before hitting the reboot button. Else you can no longer boot to cwm
