[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
This is what I get when making the img:

root@debian:/home/jtking/Desktop/android# ./sin2img.py system.sin system.img

root@debian:/home/jtking/Desktop/android# mkdir system; mount -o loop system.img system

And again this is what I got when trying to flash that img

writing 'system'...

(bootloader) Flash of partition 'system' requested

(bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000004, block 0x00022000-0x00221fff

(bootloader) Unsupported chunk type: 0x656c

I was able to unlock the bootloader just fine with this system multiple times and had flashed the .73 system image previously so I don't think its an issue with the computer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Thank you for posting commands you used here. Those are the same ones as I use so this problem seems too difficult for my knowledge. :(

There is a possible cause I'm thinking of now. That guideline creates 2 img file: system.img and system2.img. system2.img is the prerooted one and it is the file to be flashed via fastboot. Their names are confusing. The question is which file you used to flashed?

If your answer is system2.img, I think you did everything correctly. We need to find someone else who has better knowledge than me to help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] crimilde:
Well, this line seems strange to me, what did you try to do here?

I also tried to preroot and make the system img using the system.sin from 6.0.A.3.75_CE1 just to compare the output and I got:

[root@ninja ext4_utils]# ./mkuserimg.sh -s ../system ../system2.img ext4 ./temp 1024M
in mkuserimg.sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
./make_ext4fs -s -l 1024M -a ./temp ../system2.img ../system

Created filesystem with 1230/65536 inodes and 108440/262144 blocks

So the inodes and block numbers clearly differ from yours. I didn't try to flash it though, to see if it works or not, as I already got .76, but I'd suggest you try a different FTF if you didn't use the one I mentioned already.

Also, maybe it's unrelated, but when you ran make on the ext4_utils, was the result ok?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
1) bash completion

2) it's different sizes
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] crimilde:
Haha, I must be going bad in the eyes, what with the bash completion fail I just did right there. :-P Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
I used system2.img to flash

ext4_utils make went fine with no errors or anything.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Just to make sure I got the system.sin the right way. From the SEUS blob_fs folder I took the two biggest files from the .75 update download and and in flashtool did the decrypt files option. Took the system.sin file from there to use for this process.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Yes, you did it right way.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Okay not sure what the deal is then with making this pre-rooted system image. Now for the Superuser.apk and su files I got them from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ Downloaded and extracted the Superuser.apk and su from the system/app and system/bin folders and thats what I was using to put into the prerooted system.img

Is that also the correct way to do it?

Not sure why I am having so much trouble getting this to work. If I upload the system.sin can someone else try making it to see if maybe something with my system is messing it up?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
I also downloaded Superuser.apk and su from that site.

If you want to upload system.sin so that I or someone else can try, I think uploading the whole firmware (.ftf) would be better because we can also try flashing your ftf to see the result.

Another quicker approach, if you think that there is a problem with your system.sin, you may pick any ftf from the firmware compilation thread and use system.sin in the downloaded .ftf to create the prerooted image.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
This is the FTF I created and am trying to use the system.sin from: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByrrmqPijqISLTdWV3dZYVVxaEk

I was able to successfully flash the ftf without any issues to my Xperia S

The system.sin is here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByrrmqPijqISZG0zUHBxT2ZQa3c
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
@Spectre51

I created the prerooted image from your system.sin inside the FTF you provided. I put the image here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9H-Q47rl4DWclAwZXZ1cDlHTG8. I can flash my device using this image and your FTF without any issue.

Please note that while I was flashing your FTF, I excluded the partition and TA files because I experienced some problem when flashing with them. I usually exclude them when I create my own FTF. (the reasons were explained here and here). Not sure why you can flash successfully with them.

In addition, I also uploaded my script I use to create the preroot image. It is the "root_system" file. I run this on my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. You may try it on your system. Don't forget to "chmod +x root_system" and make the ext4_utils before executing "./root_system"

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9H-Q47rl4DWSDBzRjZrdTBlbGs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Thanks I'll give it a try. I'll remake my ftf without those files too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Cool it worked. Thanks. Not sure what the deal was with how I was doing it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
I have no idea about this too. :confused: Every step you did seemed correct.

Not sure if it is related to the Linux distro you are using (I'm not a Linux expert, just guessing). If you have VMWare or VirtualBox on your machine, you may try other distro such as Ubuntu. The version I'm using is 10.04 64bit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JoelChrist_:
Is the pre-root image for .73 working and tested?

If so, could you upload or in any other way give it to me?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Perhaps. I was using the latest Debian release. Did you have to install any other libraries after the initial Ubuntu install?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Check the Firmwares and Root compilation thread in the dev section.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Oh! quite a lot. I used this Ubuntu to learn about building AOSP following this tutorial (I chose 10.04 because I used to try this tutorial on Ubuntu 12.04 and failed). So it is quite messy. :p

I think python and GNU make may be related. I'm using make 3.81 and python 2.6.5. If I have a chance, I will try create the image on other distro and will report you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] funkswing:
So I followed the steps linked in this post to unlock the bootloader:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672284

Which links to this site:

http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-att-one-x-bootloader

Everything was fine until I got to step 21) Press any key in the tool to resume.

I pressed the space bar after clicking the tool to highlight it and the tool just closed. My phone is still hooked up to the computer and is sitting on the bootloader mode.

What should I do from here? I have the unlock token, root, 1.73, etc.

Thanks in advance!

***SOLVED***

In case anyone is wondering I solved the problem by finishing the Bootloader Unlock steps manually.

In the email sent from HTCDev with the Unlock token, I followed the link that outlines the steps.

I downloaded the SDK to get the adb and fastboot executables. Following the HTCDev steps, I moved the Unlock_token.bin into the same dir as the aforementioned executables and then sent the Unlock token through the command prompt.

Unlocked and ready to go!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncollyer:
My Galaxy 7 tab will not connect to my router, there are 2 sky routers it is trying to connect to, not sure why it is trying to connect to the other.

How can I remove the unwanted router from the list of devices?

Thanks Mark
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoz:
Turn off wifi, still in the settings, tap once in one router, and choose delete.

Is better you delete both them.

And after this connect again for the one that appear when you turn on wifi.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncollyer:
I have tried that but I do not have the key for the one I want to remove and when I press it it brings up the wireless key screen
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travis:
Try tap and HOLD and a menu should pop up.

Install wifi key recovery from market first then loss of key should not be an issue.

(I'm assuming you're rooted)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncollyer:
Wi-Fi recovery keeps force closing and tap and hold just brings up the key entry box
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Let me get get it straight. You saw two routers on the list.

One is the one you want and have key for it.

The other is the one you don't want and have no key for it.

1) is that correct?

2) how do you know your tab is trying to connect to second router.

If you just want to remove the second router ( aka don't want to see it hanging around) , you can't.

It is broadcasting and you will always see it as long as it is turned on.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncollyer:
OK thanks need to find out who it belongs to then.

Mark
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
My point is, the second router is just being around, you don't have to connect to it or remove it.

That is why I asked how do you know your tab us trying to connect to it.

My suspicion is, it is not trying to.

It just happens to see the other router.

You can just ignore it and connect to yours.

If the tab can't connect to it despite having the right key, maybe it us MAC filter or something else. Just focus on that and forget about the other router.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyva:

Not sure what to do about this problem now, I did a factory reset but the 2 routers are still trying to connect, so I went into download mode cleared cache and reloaded system from download menu and the 2 routers are still both trying to connect.

I have found details on the net about removing the DHCP details using a root exploer but my tab no longer seems to be rooted and if I try to root it using Z4Root which I used before it fails to root the tab.

Any ideas how I can root the tab to get to the DHCP info?

Very nice thread! I'll try it once my device finishes charging. How did you manage to get 1.5 OC?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Thanks! you can tell I am more than a little OCD about my device's performance ;)

I was able to achieve a stable OC by setting the internal voltage to 1.19V, and my core voltage to 1.4V, using Tegrak Overclock. This gives a nice increase to the performance of my player!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I'm not really familiar with OC at all but you just change the voltage and the 1.5 OC option will appear? Didin't you modify your kernel a bit to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
As I said in the OP, I have the Terrasilent kernel installed, which allows by default overclocking up to 1.2 GHZ. If you install Tegrak Overclock Ultimate, you can load it's module and overclock up to 2 GHZ with a max internal voltage of 1250mv, and a max core voltage ov 1400MV. Suprisingly easy, actually, and an invaluable tool. You can also change the I/O governor like I suggested from it as well. Attached is A screenshot of my quadrant score (I decided to do it anyway:p). The score is slightly lower than I said because I have Journalling disabled (to much of a hassle to keep restoring every day).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Oh ok you have tegrak ultimate. I had tegrak free and the limit was 1.3. Also for the journaling why don't you make a script to execute it at each boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yeah, You can do some crazy stuff in the ultimate version!

I will upload the screenshot in the OP, the way I did it wouldn't work the first time

I didn't make journalism a init.d script because it is a one-time tweak, you apply it, and you have to reformat to go back! I also didn't spell out the instructions verbatim in case someone wants to selectively apply this tweak or use it as reference.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Also, I have triesd to make an init.d script to disable journaling and putting tune2fs in /system/xbin, but it errors out because you can only disable journaling when the partitions aren't mounted. So what I did was copy tune2fs to a directory, boot into recovery, unmount all the partitions and then disable journaling.

Surprisingly my quadrant score jumped by 400 points.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I was able to do it (albeit with warnings during e2fsck) using merely the terminal emulator, and after fixing permissions on tune2fs (I manually placed it). I checked it with tune2fs -l /dev/block/(partition) | grep features, and it claimed that I removed the has_journalism flag. Plus, I got the wonderful benefit of corruption after an unclean shutdown:p.

The scipt will delete them for you when you flash, but it shouldn't cause any issues if they are not deleted. If some conflict, it may reduce the overall performance boost, but that's the worst that could happen.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I don't get how you get such a high io score! My io is around 800!? I installed the adreneline tweak, but nothing noticeable, perhaps even worse performance. I have ext4 (I think, since I installed klin's r5). I use deadline scheduler. I also use v6 supercharger. What are you people's quadrant score with just the adrenaline and supercharger? No overclock.

Sent using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Klin's R5 only formats /system as ext4. to get the full benefit (and the noticeable increase), do it on all partitions using the guide on the OP. I would also use noop, as it seems to be slightly faster than deadline on ext4. Once you do that, you should get the increase.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, I just tried to convert to ext4 following your instructions, but following the reboot, it has been on the solid "samsung" (not the pulsing one) screen for several minutes, is this normal, or did something bad happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
You need to have Klin's kernel flashed, or else it won't boot. everything is there, you just need to enter download mode and flash Klin's R3 or terrasilent 1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I have terrasilent 1.1
