[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imprezif:
I just want to make sure of this before I purchase credits with them,

Mine is a R800A bootloader unlock allowed :no

with rogers in canada, When I look at the Omnius site it only describes them as R800.

supporting msm7x30

When I look at sony specs it describes R800A as msm8 platform .

I'm rooted and running CWM on 2.3.4

I want my bootloader unlocked don't care if the sim happens at the same time , and would prefer to retain all data and drm keys

Can this be unlocked by Omnius or do I need alejandrissimo to do this for me?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorkingFerus:
It is possible to use Omnius to unlock your phone. I have the same model and used their service to unlock my bootloader via TestPoint.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imprezif:
While I have the attention of someone with experience in the test point method, maybe you can clarify somethings , I have done quite a bit of research into this and there are no good pictures or descriptions for the testpoint procedure with omnius method, I have found pics of the home made set of points used with the S1tools method (the safety pin and wire) where they mention wraping the wire around the outer shield of the USB cable as ground, then joining testpoint to the negative pole for the battery.

Omnius as far as I've been able to gather just says to use the metal sim card shield as ground. Not very descriptive on there part.

Just hoping you could give me a heads up to the actual process, so I'm properly prepared . Thanks

Guess I lost your attention, it's ok though, I found a really good description (on another site) sacrilege I know.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorkingFerus:
Haha, I had not checked the forum in a while. Did you get to unlock your bootloader?

I used a paperclip for testpoint. If you still need help, maybe I can take some pictures later today... or maybe I find the tutorial that I followed when I unlocked mine :silly:

Hi,

My Question is

How do i extract initramfs from a Kernel.bin file ?

the Galaxy S Advance uses Kernel.bin instead of a boot.img :confused:

I tried dsixda's kitchen, but it couldn't recognize the file format :(

I just want to replace a certain binary in the /sbin folder and repack the kernel.

Edit:this phone is kinda different,

it seems that the recovery and kernel partitions are the same
[General Topics] nail16:
Figured it out :D

The zImage created after compilation process is actually the same, a kernel binary aka kernel.bin

I just had to rename the zImage to kernel.bin and add md5sum to the kernel.bin and pack it into a tarball to make it flashable via odin.

that can be done like this

md5sum -t kernel.bin >> kernel.bin
mv kernel.bin kernel.bin.md5
tar -cvf mykernel.tar kernel.bin.md5

As for packing the ramdisk into the kernel.bin

that can be done before compiling by editing the .config file or any config you gonna use

just have to add the path to the ramdisk at CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="path to your ramdisk"

There's also a script to unpack the ramdisk from the kernel.bin, i'll attach it here

usage:

place the script at the same location of the kernel.bin

chmod +x unpack-initramfs.sh
bash unpack-initramfs.sh kernel.bin.md5
OR
/bin/sh unpack-initramfs.sh kernel.bin.md5

Hope this helped Others who were facing the same problem :D

Hello I currently have a HTC sensation running in MIUI-201200 with android version 2.3.7

I want to upgrade to the latest MIUI v4 but I can't because my firmware is on 2.3.7 . Can someone help me upgrade the firmware? How can I do this o.O semi noob at this.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
are you super CID? if not, go here and follow step 4

then you need a 3.32 firmware for ICS...go here and get whatever 3.32 you want, all will work after you super CID.

follow the steps precisely.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
http://www52.zippyshare.com/v/5773480/file.html

Download and unzip the file

Connect your phone to the PC via USB in the bootloader screen.

Go to the folder where you unzipped the files.

Right-Click and select open command window here

Then type in

fastboot getvar all

Right-click and select Select All

Press enter

Paste output here (remove serial & IMEI)

This might be a little confusing for me. I just got the sensation 4g and not sure what firmware I have.

this phone came with the latest ICS OTA

I have it rooted, s-off and super cid.

when i used to have my sensation (before ics) we never flashed firmware
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Check the Software version in About phone it'll probably be either 3.32.xxx or 3.33.xxx. That is assuming a reasonably recent OTA update. That'll be the firmware that most folks will refer to as it came from an official RUU.

You could also check your baseband, I'm on 3.33 firmware which has the 11.76A.xxxx baseband. IIRC 3.32 has 11.69.xxxx.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Little-Goomba:
Hello everybody and first of all, forgive me for my English. I am French and I have found no help on the French forums.

Here is my problem : I have an Android Startrail Edition 2.2 (ZTE Blade Gen 2 if I understood correctly) and I wanted to root it, to use Link2SD in particular.

But it is impossible.

I tried the UnlockRoot method and Z4Root method, without success. Each time, everything goes well, the SuperUser application appears but it does not work. And why? Just because my phone is not rooted. When I go into the settings, it is still the original version of ZTE that appears. And apps like CheckRoot tell me it is not rooted. In fact when I do the experiment with Z4Root, once I engaged the TempRoot and I restart the app, I still have the choice to root my phone but don't have the "un-root" option.

In short, it looks like I have a "anti-root" mobile phone

Help me, please, my internal memory overflows

Thank you in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Little-Goomba:

I have also problems with root on ZTE Blade device. I use z4root - this tool working and I get message "Your device is rooted" but ZTE Blade isn't rooted.

I clear internal memory (I have more than 50MB) and I launch z4root again. After this I have rooted device!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Little-Goomba:
Thank you very much for your answers.

Zielokcom, That's exactly right. I will try your method and if it does not work, then I will test those of others.

I'll let you know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsan45:
Google said that the ICS (or honeycomb) will support

generic gamepads via OTG connection and I was curious to know

if the new ICS update on the Note supports it.

People has tested this with the new S3 and it seems that it even support

wii motes and PS3 controllers

http://www.androidnz.net/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-more-secrets-revealed.html

anyone tested this with the note?

What do we do with ps3 controllers on OTG? bluetooth is enough for gaming rite?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsan45:
well..

I am not sure if GS3 supports PS3 blutooth (with out root method)

I guess not because they share different bluetooth protocol.

and the point is ICS should support OTG gamepads and I wanted to

know if it is working on the ICS updated Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffi2011:
Doesn't work. I tried a USB Xbox 360 controller on both the German, and Taiwan official ICS releases.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsan45:
worked

weired. I just connected my general usb joypad (for computers)

via OTG to my Note and it works.

It doesnt understand the presses though. I think you need a seperate

app to set each buttons. But it does move around the screen and

I can press apps.

[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
Hello,everyone

My DS(2.3.5, hboot 2.00.0002 ,locked, s-on)warranty expired recently,so I want to root my phone.Which method should I use for rooting my phone , htcdev or downgrade my hboot then root it?

Btw,I want to keep all my data in my phone , will root delete all data inside my phone? What App should I use for backup .

I'm Asian and do i need to change me locate to US or Europe ?

Any advice would be appreciated. :D
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
Read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1689631

And do NOT unlock via HTCdev! Use the Revolutionary method. You should also read the Index thread for tutorials on how to do so.

EDIT: I'm not sure about losing all your info when rooting, as I did mine a while ago, so I don't remember, sorry :o
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
+1 to the above.

Revolutionary Method is recommended to S-OFF.

Also, It is recommended that after S-OFF, you Change your Hboot to an ENG Hboot (refer INDEX).

To backup all your Apps - Titanium Backup (Pro).

To backup SMS - GO SMS Pro / SMS backup & Restore.

Contacts / Calendar can be backup via your Google Account.

{Save your contacts as Google Contacts & all your calendar entries in Google Calendar}.

Use 4EXT Recovery / CWM Recovery to backup your entire ROM (Nandroid Backup).
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
So...this method will delete all my data.Btw will I lose my root after I update my phone to 4.0 through ota?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
If you're S-OFF & Rooted, never install the OTA update from your phone.

Why would you want to wait for the ICS OTA ?

We already have lots of ICS ROM's , based on the leaked RUU / Kernel. . .

Also, i believe , once we have the 4.0 (ICS) kernel sources, all our issues / bugs should

be ironed out. . . by our beloved Dev's.
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
If I'm not mistaken, you'll get stuck in a bootloop if you do any ota updates. So DON'T ever do any ota updates when you're rooted/S-off.

EDIT: Tapur007 beat me to it :p He's right though.
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
I see,then I will.root after.the.ota ,because I.want to try it :)
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
You may have issues gaining True S-OFF after OTA. :eek:

As of now ,revolutionary only supports 0.98.XXXX Hboots.

I'd suggest you to Root & S-OFF your phone using revolutionary & then flash an ENG Hboot.

You can then try out the custom ROM's available in the Dev Section...
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
What should I do if I want to go back to HTC orginal Rom?

Should I use something called RUU?
[HTC Desire S] anchemis:
Great guide! Dilemma is that TiBackup doesn't work without root... so you're kinda stuck in a situation where you can't back up until you've rooted, but at risk of losing data when you're doing it...

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Yes, after flashing ENG bootloader to replace the Revolutionary one (which doesn't allow you to flash RUUs)

---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

Partially yes... because most OTAs have the new v2.00.xxxx bootloader that revolutionary doesn't support (yet).

To counter that, you CAN downgrade the OTA back to original version using some clever RUU / adb tools, but its not the noobproof way forward.

My advice would be if you want to try a Sense 3.0 ROM, then just S-OFF / root and use one from the forum. (Chances are they'll be better updated with more features and with have none of the carrier branded bloatware).

Plus, you'll get access to the Sense 3.5 ROMs (Endymion! is the most flashed one), Sense 3.6 ROMs (before HTC and carriers even release it on OTAs), Sense 4.0 ROMs (which HTC will probably never release) and AOSP / CM / AOKP ROMs (the way Android should have been released without HTC butchering it with Sense)
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Not yet another Sense bashing. You want to keep the thread informative - fine, I see you have lots of energy to waste on those who don't want to read guides (it'll fade pretty soon, when you'll realize that lazy "I-can't-read-a-thread-on-front-page-with-the-same-title-so-I'll-post-another-one" types don't end, and the time you spend on long answers that in the best case repeat detailed already-posted guides is pretty much wasted). But save your Sense bashing to Sense-bashing threads, where other people would counter that. If HTC and Samsung didn't create the skins to hide the ugliness and lack of usability of stock-like Android - many people wouldn't be touching Android, most likely myself included.
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
No app for non-root phone to backup app+data ?! D:
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
I looked many post and found that the disadvantage of using Htcdev is my warranty will gone.However,my DS warranty expired now and htcdev is easier than downgrade h-boot.

What should I do now?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
I'd still suggest you to downgrade & S-OFF & then flash an ENG Hboot.

Cuz, if you unlock via HTC Dev , each time you flash a custom ROM , you need to flash the kernel (boot.img) separately !
[HTC Desire S] kalvin807:
Which guide should I follow? I found 3+ guide for teaching how to downgrade hboot

2)Bluetooth volume control does not function at all. The slider moves but the call volume never changes.

3)Bluetooth "microphone" volume seems too high and sounds very distorted. The phones microphone is clearly not in use, but it is the phone causing the loud distorted sound for the mic.
