[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
Hi guys,

Please confirm the following steps as I will be going to do the following in another 1 hour or so to finally S-OFF and root my sweet phone :)

1st: - use revolutionary to S-OFF

- option to install revolutionary's CWM 4.xxxx (ok install it..)

2nd: - use super one click to root

3rd: - again flash ENG BOOT by using CWM's menu? (so that in case I need warranty I can just S-OFF it and place it infront of HTC's noobie tech support :D )

Please correct me anywhere above if I am wrong :|

Also, please suggest me which ones better to use for rooting..?

- to flash the su...xxx zip file OR use super one click ?

Regards,

You need to follow the below steps using ADB to flash ENG Hboot over Rev Hboot

1. Put the hboot.img you want to flash in the root of the sdcard.

2. In cmd run the following commands (after each command press enter):

adb devices

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

reboot bootloader
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
Hi,

thx for steps.. but isn't flashing the ENG HBOOT image from CWM the same as from adb ?

Also which method is better for rooting:

Flashing the su... zip file -OR- using the super one click??
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
No, You need to follow the steps mentioned to flash the ENG hboot over the REV Hboot.

Once, you've installed the ENG Hboot , all other Hboot's , Radio's can be flashed via the Bootloader.

Also, Regarding Root You should be fine using Super One Click.

I have earlier used this method to gain S-OFF & Root !

Please Note : You should be careful while doing any of the above. There are enough Noob Proof Guides & Posts in the Forums to help you achieve S-OFF & Root. Good Luck !
[HTC Desire S] anchemis:
Congrats in throwing away your warranty (who needs them anyway!) and joining the ranks of the Elite S-OFF / Rooted DS club!

Yes. Just make sure when you use revolutionary and it asks for a beta key, go the revolutionary.io and fill in the web form correctly (hboot version and serial, note that serial is your HTxxxxxxxxxx number, NOT your IMEI), if the beta key is wrong I think revolutionary will churn out an error (but your phone should be safe!)

I wouldn't recommend CWM 4.xxxx as there should be a newer version floating about. If you want a touchscreen recovery solution (aka, no more scrolling with volume keys) then 4EXT recovery is much better (and brick proof due to ext4 file system support).

Yep, turn OFF HTC fastboot (settings/power/fastboot), and turn ON debugging (settings/apps/dev/android debugging).

Plug into usb, install HTC drivers for windows / linux, fire up SuperOneClick and press root. Wait for the magic!

You can't flash ENG hboot using CWM. There are 2 ways to flash hboot:

1. PG88IMG.zip method: download the hboot file that is preformatted and named as such. Put it in the root directory of your SD card. Get into bootloader mode (vol- and power), wait for the text saying flash image?, click yes, pray to the virgin mary that your battery doesn't die on you, and voila!

DELETE the zip file afterwards, or you'll end up flashing it again next time!

2. fastboot method: download the hboot file (either a .img file which can use straight, or just extract it out of the PG88IMG.zip file). Download the fastboot and adb tools availabe from the android sdk (or ones floating on the net if you can't bothered do d/l the whole sdk).

Plug phone to usb, Boot into bootloader mode (vol- and power), wait, and navigate to fastboot. It should say FASTBOOT USB. Type:

fastboot flash hboot xxxxx.img

I think to flash the ENG 0.86.xxxx bootloader you *might* have to first flash with the 6.98.2000 one first, then overflash with the ENG one? Or can you just flash it straight? (Someone correct me on this as it's been a while since I've S-OFF'd.)

[/QUOTE]

Provided you're S-OFF'd and have ADB enabled and have INSTALLED the HTC usb drivers, SuperOneClick is more noobproof as you just open programme on windows and click root (it will install the SuperUser app once its rooted).

You can flash the suxxxx.zip file via CWM or 4EXT as well, whatever floats your boat. (I think there may be an update to the SU app, which should auto update in the market).
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
hi all,

I have successfully S-Off 'ed and Rooted my DS.

heres what I did:

- Used Revolutionary's Tool S-Off'ed my DS

- clicked yes on asking to install the inbuilt Revolutionary's CWM

- Copied the latest Superuser zip file from Revolutionary's web here

- installed the superuser zip from CWM by browsing to the copied file and selecting install "yes".

Now, I have a few more questions to ask here to install ENG HBOOT and 4EXT touch recovery :)

Hope this helps to many noobs like me out there :D

Thanks for reading.

Regards,

Does anyone know if its safe to delete the stock browser?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I personally wouldnt, it is probably baked pretty deep into sense. If anything just freeze it with titanium backup and see how your phone behaves.

Thanks man thats what i was thinking but wanted to ask before i did something stupid
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunrise71:
I am considering purchasing the Tab 2 10.1 and have been reading reviews but haven't come across anything regarding streaming media from the network sites like ABC and CBS. Can anyone tell me how well the Galaxy handles this? I'm also wondering how well the Netflix app runs. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Anything you can do on previous Android devices you will be able to do on this tablet. So I would assume that you can.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunrise71:
Well I have a Transformer Prime currently but it constantly reboots when streaming so that's why I'm curious about the Galaxy. Prior to the Prime I had an iPad.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panamakevin:
No problems streaming here

I have been able to stream movies from HBO.com, amazon instant videos, and other various websites with no problems... I think as long as you have adobe flash installed it should be fine. I love my new galaxy tab 2 10.1, I was thinking about getting an iPad but am a huge Android OS fan and the new ICS is amazing in tablet form... Its definitely a worth while purchase... I primarily use mine to watch movies and TV either through streaming or downloaded movies and I have no complaints...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaViCa:
Well the netflix app runs flawlessly. It's one of the most used apps on my tab. I haven't streamed through any other apps all though i have installed Hulu and it appears to work as well.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miscrap:
Hulu Plus works great, as does Crackle.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oh_wow:
Streaming is the big reason I have ordered Gtab 2 p5113--should be arriving tomorrow. I love my amazon prime videos and can't use it on the "other" device which makes me cranky. Very excited!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmalei7:
yes, for sure!

And for iptv streams i'm using ITPV application from market
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oh_wow:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] johntrask:
I am using a Telus T989D on the Bell network. I was wondering what is the best radio to use to get the best signal whether it be for a ICS or GB Build?

:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khizar:
only you can answer that question. the best radio is the one that gives YOU the best signals and speed in YOUR area..so no one can answer that question you will have to flash the radios and see which is best for YOU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] johntrask:
sorry I guess I should have been more specific, I am looking for others people personal experience. ie. someone else that is using the T989D on the bell network and what radio the are using and how do they find that is works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
Before this question gets answered, I believe that for Bell network you need to have the international version of galaxy s2 - i-9100 in order to use their network. If you have t-mobile version, it works for Telus, Mobilicity, Wind, I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wing851:
I have a Telus T989D and I'm using modem KJ3 with Darksides UCLD2 BETA2 in the London-Woodstock corridor.

No real issues except north of London where Bell signal sucks and always has.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
Being on bell just won't give you the theoretical 42, rather 21 mbps speed....

In theory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mindracer:
Bell Rogers and Telus use the same HSPA frequences, so both the international and T989D phones can be used on the networks. 850/1900mhz

Mobility Wind and Videotron use european frequencies. 1700mhz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
They do not use all the same frequencies. Many are the same, not all.

[LG Optimus 3D] Optimus3Drocks:
Guys. I dont know.wat the **** the phone suddenly from two days started to act weird games freezing

Force closeing the phone forced restarting

Iam using the fully stock v20f middle east

Any idias
[LG Optimus 3D] Evil Slayer:
i think you need either to clear everything and reflash the KDZ file

looks like(someone correct me if i am wrong) there's an corrupted system file

i had this problem once i restored my nandroid backup...but since you are on stock...which probably not rooted...you need to reflash the KDZ

i hope this helps
[LG Optimus 3D] MinedSafe:
Make a backup with 'my backup' go to recovery and whipe data etc. That shuld do otherwise wipe everything and Then flash new Kdz.

Just remember if ur doing the nandroid backup with version 3 or 4 do attempt to restore with v5 or else u might brick ur phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] Optimus3Drocks:
Sorry iam not able to reflash a new kdZ file

Is there any thing that might help ++ my phone is rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Prasgeek:
Guys can you rank custom roms for sgm based on performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Apourv:
Here is the ranking

1. Pure CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1:)

2. Unofficial CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1:)

3. Official CM7:confused:

4. emanoN ROM v6:cool:

5. CyanMobile initial A (very customization but very very laggy, unsatisfactory, unstable, I never liked it):(

Hit Thanks if it helps.

Ranking based on:

1. Performance & smoothness (Hardware acceleration)

2. Customization (like I don't like haptic feedback on long press, CM7 can disable it, but not stock based custom ROMS)

3. Themes (CM7 has more and better themes)

4. Working (like font size reduced by spare parts in CM7 REALLY reduce font size, but stock based ROMS don't reduce fonts, they go back to larger font, and also with small fonts, toast notifications fonts are not small)

5. Modifications ( Mods for CM7 are more)

6. Many features on Stock based Custom ROMS are imported from CM7, but I don't know how many of them work as satisfactorily as on CM7.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Prasgeek:
Thanks a lot dude.

And what aboute More 1.4 Rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Apourv:
More ROM verdict

More ROM is just another stock based custom ROM, like emanoN ROM, but it has less themes than themes for emanoN ROM, and is less popular than emanoN ROM.

Functionality wise, there not much difference between the two ROMS, I think emanoN ROM is better than More ROM.

My suggestion: Rank 1 is the best custom ROM (Pure CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1), & I use the odexed ROM, ( visit the page, there are 2 types odex & deodex, I use odexed ROM).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Prasgeek:
Thanks apourv.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Winston O'Boogie:
I don't know how many people will agree, but I think Squad's RC5.7 definitely deserves a mention as one of the best roms available for Mini. It's my fave so far :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:
Actually it is very hard to rank Tom's like this cause everyone has a different choice. Some like stock some like miui some like cm7/9. But for me it is,

Cyanomobile revolution a 21 05 2012.

Cyanogenmod 9

Emanon v6

Miui

Cyanogenmod7 mrbitek build

Ics cyanogenmod cooked by autoradio with adrenaline engine 4.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Deleted member 4229497:
Well i haven't done benchmarks so i'll rank on the smoothness of the rom on default clock

1. Emanon

2. Andro-ID

3. Gingermod

4. and so on come the CM7 derivatives
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Prasgeek:
Thanks guys your review were helpful to me a lot. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] R.A.G.E:
Really ranking dies not matter what matter is your choice :)

So try ecerything and choose what u loke.

But here is a simple principle the more the rom has feature it will be less stable and battery and vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Deleted member 4229497:
Yup, best to try them out for yourself and then pick your favorite.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xxxraymond:
i agree with you sir. it will really be good if you can try out different roms. in my experience though, i've used emanon from its v1 to v5. i tried v6 but went back to v5 because of bugs that caused my phone to be a little unreliable.

i switched to cm7.2 by mebitek just to have a taste of what cyanogenmod can do and i liked it.

im still looking forward to use the next version of emanon though.

good luck on your choice!:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rittik:
1)Andro-id v3.3.1 by Tj-style(SUPER FAST)

2)Mebitek's CM7.2

3)Team Galaxy ICS's CM9 Beta7(for awesome framework and SUPERB MUSIC QWALITY)

4)Squadzone's Cyanmobile RevoA
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
For me, the winner is miui for theme customizing. It's awesome! And after using it for almost 2 months, it got pretty stable :) obviously I have to reflash it once in a while, but I don't mind :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kecikhebat:
it was a stupid thing to rank all the custom rom based only on personal taste..sighhhh..every user has its own expectation on their phone..so for TT,why dont u try all the rom,and choose the best for u..hmmmm..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rittik:
i agree wid u buddy :)

but we all are just answering his qwestions :-B

and downloading alllll the roms out there and flashing it will be kinda Bad and waste of time :)

its better to see everyones likings and select the rom which most people like ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] droidface:
what is the different between odexed and deodexed rom?

it's really fast and smooth, no bugs found so far.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] intellix:
Has anyone tried out the Monopoly game on TF300.

It is one of my fav games from my Sony Tablet days.

However when I try to play it on TF300, initially it runs fine (Although loading time is a bit slow) but after playing for few minutes the screen starts flickering and flashing and becomes unresponsive. The background music continues fine.

Only way to get out of the scenario is to hit the home button and then manually stop the game.

Has anyone else faced problems like this?? Also, is there some kind of display driver or other updates available?? (I currently have the latest firmware that asus provided via the last update)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] DAvid_B:
Worked good for me.

Try turning the music off.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] intellix:
I'll do that.

But do you keep the tablet in balanced mode? Or do you turn the aggressive mode on?? Does that make a difference?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] intellix:
Nope turning off sound didnt make a difference. I also turned up the processor to aggressive mode. Game starts well. But after a few minutes, suddenly at some animation. the touch buttons dont work and then the screen starts to flicker. Also, if I click the Home button and then try to get back to the game it just gives me a black screen (Isnt it supposed to keep running in the background untill I close it?)

So only way is to stop the game and restart it. Strange thing is that the game knows exactly where I had last exited and takes me back to the same position. So it has actually autosaved itself before I forcefuly quit the game (Cos the screen started flickering)

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that didnt work. I saw a comment in the feedback section which suggested that some other tablet users have also faced similar issue. Dunno whether it was solved or not. Could also be a problem with the game with settings specific to ICS. But a beast like TF300 should ideally run every damn game without even a minor hickup. :(
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] DAvid_B:
My tf300 is stock .29.

I have the amazon app store version of the game.

Have you powered down your 300 since installing the game? Some games seem to work better after a complete powerdown.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] intellix:
Yep I have powered down. I even did a system reset cos my tablet was lagging at times. After the factory reset with Apex Launcher, the tablet is blazing fast. However the monopoly problem still continues. (I really hoped that it would be solved :( )
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] ryzilla23:
you are on the .29 firmware?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] intellix:
Yes ver 29 firmware. All other games work absolutely fine (which ever works on my tablet that is .... including Fifa 12). Only for this app time and again the screen becomes responsive and starts flickering. I am on the US firmware.

I already sent my complaint to both the developers as well as in Google Play store. If I get a refund I'll probably try to purchase the same from Amazon again.

Do you guys have the apk from amazon??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] nickmcghee:
Anyone wonder why there are devs on this device who are running their own custom roms, yet no one is PUBLICLY developing for it? They all have personal roms, and are unwilling to post them for us to use? Anyone know why?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Well there are no roms and development because we can't. Samsung didn't release the source code for the wifi chip so we can't mess around with stuff as much.

I don't know of anyone having personal roms or anything similar of the sort so where did you hear that? (As rude as that sounds I am genuinely curious)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] nickmcghee:
That explains some of it... But I have seen some members sig lines say things like:

DEVICES I own:

Galaxy Tab +, rom= personal rom

or

my own rom that Im not sharing due to xda community on that forum

I'm not trying to start a flame against any specific member (which is why Im not naming names), Im just curious as to why they dont actually share their work...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Well my take on that is since we can't mess with it they most likely made small changes and there is no point in releasing it or they made a rom and it is there own rom and it has been released thus the 'personal' title.

In terms of the no sharing I think I know who you are talking about and he/she has recently released a rom in the development section if you look.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] nickmcghee:
Lol I DO know and I saw their Rom.... Actually tried flashing it.... I'm glad that they finally released.... I love seeing development explode..? maybe that's just what I'm waiting for??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
I am running my own personal created ROM, but as suggested above, the changes are minimal and so releasing the ROM would really be pointless. I am testing tweaks and mods here and there, but I really haven't found something super beneficial worthy of being released to the community.

Once Samsung releases some wifi driver source (or ICS source), then development *should* pick up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doughnut643:

when you power off the phone, it turns on after a few seconds.

its a a cm7.2 rc3 problem or something deeper like hardware?

id like to know a fix and if im not the only one experiencing this! thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bthurber:
I too get this from time to time. I think it may not happen with the latest Rom I am on (invasion2 futureal 1.2). As a workaround I usually do shutdown with a carefully timed battery pull. Not ideal.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazamuda:
I had that problem from time to time and solved it (for now) by cleaning the phone, especially around the power key. I think it gets stuck down just enough to make contact and power the phone on.

It gets fixed when you power it back down the second time, since you are pressing the button again.

Cleaning worked for me, I used rubbing alcohol and a q-tip.

Good Luck!

EDIT: With phone powered off and no battery. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amer786:
I have brand new Samsung Galaxy S II LTE model I727R. I rooted it successfully using OneClick and the install CMW. I downloaded Neatrom and saved it to my internal sd card. I used CMW to install the rom, it did all the backups etc, but then the phone never turned on again. The phone got bricked and now it is in for repairs.

I wanted to ask if there are any known issues with this Rom working with this particular phone or is it something that I did? i have installed Alien Rom in the past using the same method and did not have a problem.

I am now hesitant to mess around with Roms based on this experience.

Any insight would be appreciated.
