[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
I know that if when i rename .tar.md5 to just .tar i can use winrar to open the file. When the file is open i see a recovery.img file then i extrract the recovery.img to my desktop. How can i open the recovery.img file? I want to extract the content of the recovery.img file so i can see how it works and what is inside the recovery.img

Try Diskinternals Linux Reader and mount the image with cntrol+m
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaboros:
This is exactly I want to do too. I only have the recovery.img but I want to modify the height and wight of it, because it designed for 7" and I want it to 10"... I managed to open it but looks like we need the source because I haven't found anything about it. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
I can't open the file with DiskInternals Linux Reader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
We are looking for the same thing :)

Another thing that would be nice is when the option to boot into recovery or download mode is added to the shutdown menu. I have CM9 on my phone and that has these options. It's very usefull ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaboros:
Here is my method for it.

First I used this tools.

http://www.mediafire.com/?9pllpht41e62d77

It is not my work, so sorry for reupolading but I didn't found the source!

Rename the recovery.img to boot.img (basically it was designed for this, but they the same) and put it there. And use the tool for unpack it for kernel and ramdisk.gz file.

Then You have to unpack it in linux (if I know well it is the best to do it there because if the filesystem)

For example:

"gunzip -c boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i"

It will unpack it, you have to do the necessarily changes. Than repack it:

"find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newramdisk.cpio.gz"

Note this is pack the whole folder when you run it.

Then you just need to pack them back to img file. :)

But as I said I didn't found anything in connection with the resolution. It is quit sad because the recovery is working in my device but it designed for smaller screen and everything is display wrong.

It would be great if anyone know something about how to fix this without the source code, or someone could help me how to port the CWM from the original source. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs96:
I was looking up the partition layout of the Galaxy S III while I stumbled upon this problem.

The first time you run a command in 'adb shell' everything is fine, but when you try to run a second command, it just hangs. It doesn't crash, it just hangs.

So, I tried to find out what could be wrong, by doing the following: Instead of going into the shell itself, I just entered a semi-random command 'adb shell mount', which returned the normal result.

Then, I typed 'adb shell' and guess what? It returns a commonly known error: 'error: protocol fault (status 72 6f 6f 74?!)'

The status code is HEX, which translates to: 'error: protocol fault (status root?!)'

So I suppose this has something to do with the fact that my SGS3 is rooted.

I don't feel like unrooting it, but if someone would be so kind to test this on an unrooted SGS3 and report back the results here so we can investigate this further that would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranck:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs96:
Have you tried multiple shell commands? I know adb functions, but it's about using adb shell.

I'm on the stock rom, rooted manually with CF's insecure kernel by the way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
I'm not sure this is related, but there is some very suspicious new functionality in the FactoryTest.apk, called "SysScope". Its some kind of service checking and verifying the authenticity of "something". But I have no idea of what, only that a related java file (ResultCode.class [sysscope.service] contain the following code segment:

[SIZE=2] arrayOfResultCode[0] = OK;
arrayOfResultCode[1] = ADB_RUNNING_AS_ROOT;
arrayOfResultCode[2] = PARTITION_TAMPERED;
arrayOfResultCode[3] = ROOT_PROCESS_FOUND;
arrayOfResultCode[4] = DANGEROUS_FILE_DETECTED;
arrayOfResultCode[5] = NOT_OFFICIAL_BINARY;
[/SIZE]

Then it looks for SysScope files in the SysScopeVerifyer.class like this:

[SIZE=2]/data/app/com.sec.android.app.sysscope-1.apk
/data/app/com.sec.android.app.sysscope-2.apk[/SIZE]

I suggest you to back these up, and then replace them, with empty files of the same name, and see what happens.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
If you didnot copy any file to Computer and format sd card you still have recovery install and if you are using any offline dictionary then you should move dictionary data folder to Computer before formating sd card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bluespoon4:
Any files that are on your SD card will be gone when you format it, so copy over anything you do not want to lose. Formatting your SD card will not get rid of your custom recovery.

i expierenced this only on apex launcher...go use another launcher and problem solved for me...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuzzyMeep Two:
SOLVED

I had this very same problem, here is how to solve it.

1. Go to settings-->Applications

a.find any launcher app

b. click on it

c. click "Clear Defaults"

2. Press "home" key

a. note the name of the launcher in question in its entirety. The one we want is

"TouchWiz home"... under "TouchWiz home" it shows

"com.sec.android.smando.launcher" This is the file i need to locate.

(you may have multiple copies showing, if so press home and try each one individually to see which one works for you i.e. no force closes. then note that name. Or write them all)

3. using a file explorer, with system set as r/w, navigate to "/data/app"

a. find the apk you noted previously

b. move the apk to "/System/app"

c. make sure permissions are set correctly (rw- r-- r--)

(to change permissions in es file explorer long press-->properties-->"change" button)

4. reboot phone

The device should work now, it worked for me!!

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

This happened for the same reason, apex was installed as a regular app, not a system app. if you look in to apex documentation they do reference how to install it as a system app. it is a very nice launcher, i use it on my tablet, but would not if i didn't have the benefits of having it installed as a system app. These steps can be substituted for APEX, if you want a real solution to your problem.

Recently I downloaded N.O.V.A 3-Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance ..and gameplay is superb without any lags..its Smooth as Silk on my Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 running Stock ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ firmware with CF-Root without any Overclock or GPU tweaks.

As most of You guys probably know about the "Gameloft Multiplayer Over 3G trick", which is working probably for all gameloft games...except N.O.V.A 3 which I noticed today.

I tried the same with Modern Combat 3 and N.O.V.A 2 and Multiplayer seems to work without Wi-Fi.

However tried many times with N.O.V.A 3 and it keeps failing. I think its not only me having this problem.

Anyone got ideas how to get this game's Multiplayer over 3G..???

5. Copy the file ( qaWifiOnlyMode.txt) to the root of your internal and external SD cards.

6. Reboot

7. Then try the game again

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
It's not really a bug, just a weird "feature" of ICS, of data connection going to sleep when the screen is off.

Download Power Saver settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logicvoid.powersaversettings&hl=en

and uncheck the very first setting. That will allow the data connection to stay active while the screen is off.

[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
hi guys,

with the demise of my beloved HD2 going the poor way of the dodo and the fact that for the last year ive stuck with WP7, i decided to bite the bullet and spend a "fraction" more (?!?) on a real WP7 device, aka the Focus S rather than the "slightly" cheaper HD2

So anyhow, since this is a somewhat smaller community than the HD2 i figured id say hello to you all.

now my device is winging its way over the pond at the mo so i dont actually have it but im interested in knowing what we DONT know about it.

yup, i see plenty of threads on inter-op and dev unlock, SIM unlock, de branding, MMS AND ICS im interested in what doesnt work correctly or the way we want it
[Samsung Focus S] 64GUNSHIP:
Everything except ICS worked out of the box for me so I ran WinTT to enable internet sharing with the default settings and it worked like a charm. Welcome aboard :) I just got my Focus S about a week ago as well.
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
cheers mate, looks like its going to be about a week before I get my hands on it, kind of hoping the HD2 holds out that long!

I see DFT gave the Original Focus some of their magic, Is there any news of it happening here as well?

Id read a review that said the Focus S had a dim screen, is that true, or are they just being picky?
[Samsung Focus S] 64GUNSHIP:
No custom ROM's for the Focus S yet as there is no unlocked bootloader :(

But you can use WP7 Root Tools for root access (the developer is also close to releasing a version enabling full native access, so custom ROM's wouldn't really be needed after that anyway).

The auto display intensity setting makes the screen maybe a tad darker in a dark room than you'd like it to but I don't find it too bad. You can set the brightness manually or turn the auto-intensity off. When you're in sunlight, the screen is definitely bright enough to easily read. I guess the review you read was written by some idiot who doesn't even know how to change brightness settings lol.
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
ah auto brightness! there was me thinking it was just a HD2 issue, cool, that's good to know thanks.

as for custom ROMs I agree, the need for changing ROMs is a lot less than it used to be although from time to time some "patches" will only work if cooked in from the start even on a fully unlocked device.

im not too bothered about custom ROMS to be honest, if I was id have brought another HD2, but there are some very handy tools that would be useful but needs full unlock :)

So are there many folk on this forum then, lots of views on this post but only 1 person replied
[Samsung Focus S] 64GUNSHIP:
I'm not sure.. Haven't posts here much myself.. I stick to the main WP7 areas mostly :)
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
So has anyone seen or had any issues with the i937 getting interop unlocked AFTER the zune 8107 update?

ive seen plenty of posts on the omnia 7/W not being interop unlockable after this 8107 update or more specifically the samsung part of it, (cab sending MS 8107 works fine)

and ive seen posts saying that other samsung devices may be effected but ive not found any posts of a Focus S having the problem, is this just because of a much more limited userbase or is it actually cool.

The more i read the more im starting to feel uncomfortable if it has been 8107 updated PRIOR to interop unlock, as far as i can tell, if it is then its essentially locked down solid.

cheers for that, there are still some great developers on here, but you are correct, its moved a lot further to the Green Robot in recent years. Something to remember is that it wasn't that long ago that we didn't have devices other than HTC, which does provide a bit of historical context to why the remaining WP developers mostly target HTC.

[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
Finally I have a Focus S in my possession! I don't have the battery yet and my IMEI unlock code hasn't arrived just yet either but with a bit of luck ill be up and running very soon! :)

Now what? well theres the mine field of upgrades to navigate but more importantly is to start speaking to some developers, esp some of the gods on here to see what, if anything we can do to help our own cause, lets face it folks, due to the AT&T lock in there aren't anywhere near enough people out there for developers to want to spend a lot of time on this so if we want unlocked devices etc we will likely need to chip in together to make it work, what do you guys think?
