This is what I understand. Will root be lost even if I update by the zip on /sdcard?

I may give a try to CM9...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knucklehead_11:
If you are unlocked you will not loose root when you flash a zip (CM9) through recovery to a new ROM.

stock at 9.2.1.15

hi everyone, just wanna share this and ask something too...

so i thought that i could upgrade from .15 to .21 after unlocking my device, but found out that it was impossible. correct me please if i'm wrong...

i had no choice but to just leave it like that (.15) then install AOKP..

Are there any downside of being stock in .15? or is it still possible to do OTA update in a very safe possible way in the future?

Thanks....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knucklehead_11:
If you downgraded to .15 make sure that you put the right blob on your prime so that you will be able to get the ota back to .21. If you use the wrong blob file than you will not get the ota.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phigafr:
skarfreak: you can upgrade manually to .21 but root will be lost.

I'm back to stock .15 rooted. I tried CM9 but so far not totally stable (crash of desktop?, drop wifi in standby...., no isp mode, not mouting sd card or usb stick etc..) . Hoping some progress both from CM9 and root for stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Or you could use AndroWook's stock rooted ROM to upgrade... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674827 (post 2)

Thank you very much for your link! Looks awesome. :)

Can you please confirm the ASUS application are included such as quick-settings menu, app locker, IPS+ mode etc?

I'll have a look to it.

havent you tried AOKP? i think i'll stick to AOKP atm, improves my tab a lot, can play GAMELOT games now.. quick boot.., but i think theres a little wifi issue.. anyway, there will be greater tweaks in the near future..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
To emphasise - if you unlocked (as in bootloader unlocked) then you must never attempt to install the official ASUS firmware (either by OTA or other means). If you try, you will brick your prime.

Once unlocked, updates need to be by community ROMs only.

Please be specific about the distinction between rooted and unlocked, and be careful when giving advice that might brick someone's device unless you are sure you understand the advice you are giving.

thanks so much, because of you, i found this. one of the most flawless rom i could say.. i just flash the 2nd to the latest version, coz the latest version just pop up after like 24 hours.. hehehe... so i guess i'll update again next week. not able to sleep well last night coz of this. hehe....i enjoyed the fluidity... i see a very bright and promising tweaks on this ROM... kudos...

Good luck with that.

If I know Microsoft, they're probably only gonna release it for WP7 phones, seeing Android is such a competitor they need something to bring people to WP7.

I haven't watched the whole E3 preview but that's my 2-cent..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve Stiffler:
I got my s3 this evening..I had following questions regarding the phone-

How do I share Pc's internet with my samsung galaxy S3??

How does the smart stay work??

Is there a way to install apps directly from PC to the phone??

Can the unlock screen be activated using the volume button or the home button..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakaringer:
1. If you want to use your PC's internet for your phone, try looking up reverse tethering. I didn't try it out for myself so I can't say for sure but it's for rooted phones only and I don't know if it works for the GS3.... yet. But I'm sure a nice developer would make one, especially since the phone is so popular.

2. Smart stay basically keeps the phone's screen on past the screen timeout time as long as the front facing camera is looking >directly< at your face.

3. You can unlock the screen with the home button and the power button but not with the volume buttons
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve Stiffler:
Thanks are you sure we cannot use internet via usb??Coz I used the same feature with my HTC one X..

And doesn't smart stay lock the phone when ur face is away??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakaringer:
I think you're referring to a Sense standard feature called Internet Pass Through of the HTC One X. Which is only for HTC Sense interfaces. So I'm pretty sure there isn't a built in reverse tethering feature in GS3.

No. Smart stay only prevents the phone from locking as long as you look at the screen. It does not lock by itself as soon as you look away. That would be really annoying. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve Stiffler:
Darn I thought it was Ice Cream sandwich standard feature..ANyways..

And does Smart stay work with every application or specific ones??

can the phone be rooted and unrooted easily or once you root it is just adios to your warranty??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakaringer:
It should work with every applications since I just tested it with angry birds space :).

Rooting is sooo easy thanks to Chainfire! It took me like a minute to root from start to finish.

It is also possible to unroot and reset the flash counter to keep your warranty.

Kernel Modules (+ explanation) ☰ NTFS BUG FIXED!! ☰ {Locked Bootloader also}

Warning: This topic requires some technical/computer skills!

I have compiled some modules against the beta ICS kernel sources for incorporation into my Super Stock Kernel for Neo and Neo V. These modules will be integrated into the kernel when I have some time.

I am posting it here as it can be used on

locked boot-loader also

!

Modules with brief description:

usb-storage.ko:

Already included in USB OTG Helper! Used to connect storage device to phone in host mode.

ntfs.ko :

NTFS filesystem support. Useful for mounting NTFS formatted pen drives.

NTFS drive files now accessible in ES File Explorer -> USB OTG Helper v2

jbd2.ko & ext4.ko :

Ext 4 support. Ext4 sd-ext partition or loop devices can be mounted.

jbd2.ko has to be insmod-ed first!

isofs.ko :

CD filesystem for mounting CD / DVD images as loop devices or USB CD drives

shardul_intellidemand.ko / shardul_ondemandx.ko / shardul_smartass2.ko :

CPU scaling governors. More information here.

hid-apple.ko :

Support for keyboards of Apple iBooks, PowerBooks, MacBooks, MacBook Pros and Apple Aluminum

hid-microsoft.ko :

Support for Microsoft devices that are not fully compliant with HID standard.

tun.ko :

Tun/Tap driver for VPN (some VPN apps in the market require it)

How to load modules?

Easy way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228605

OR

1. Extract and copy modules to any location on /data or /system (root explorer, es explorer, adb etc)

2. Insert module into kernel (terminal emulator / script manager / adb shell )

insmod /path/to/module.ko

For smartass2.ko, see the code below.

3. Check if module is loaded correctly

lsmod

It should show LIVE! against the module name

4. Enjoy!

Example script to load all modules. Can be pushed to /system/etc/init.d or run with script manager to load modules at boot :) - Download. Please remeber to correct the path if different.

For loading smartassV2 use the following code

#!/system/bin/sh

# load smartassV2
shardul_address=0x$(cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ' kallsyms_lookup_name' | sed 's_ T.*__')
insmod /res/modules/shardul_smartass2.ko lookup_address=$shardul_address
unset shardul_address

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BandenX:
Update: I've tried a number of flashdrive with size 4gb or 2gb (there are about 4-6 pieces) and 1 flashdrive with 8gb (of course, not mine). It worked when using 4gb or 2gb, I can mount manually on /dev/block/sda or /dev/block/sda1. I'm also confirmed that ntfs module worked. It give me a list dir from ls command in terminal (using better terminal emulator), but failed when using es file manager). This test also failed for 8gb with same reason "rejected due to insufficient bus power". Is there any way to solve this problem (i.e kernel tweak etc?). This would be funny when I'm using another extra power adapter just for connecting 8gb flash drive.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
1. Bus power cannot be increased safely (AFAIK)

2. sadly ES file explorer does not work for NTFS. I am planning to write to them. Script Manager file browser works!

Edit: I have written to them. Hopefully it is considered for their updates ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BandenX:
I hope there is a solution for UFD 8gb sandisk as it worked in GB (before using ICS). I have a question: what file system to implement in ntfs module? Is it native file system or built on top of fuse? (like linux did)

Hello everyone.

My friend brought me a Samsung Galaxy s 2 gt i 9100m, iit has the unlock password on it. What the password is we dont know.

When i get to the bootloader mode (power+vol down) i have the follolwing on the screen:

---------------

ODIN MODE

Product name: GT-i9100M

Custom binary download: NO

Current binary: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

Android logo

Downloading...

Do not turn off target!!!

---------------

Even though i am computer literate i am not really smart phone literate. I havent tinkered with smartphones even though i have 2 androids myself.

I looked around on the web here and there but all i can find is bits and pieces.

As of now i downloaded

Odin3-v1-1.85

cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.tar

cm-9-20120609-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip that has

META-INF folder

system folder

boot.img

Bottom line, what do i do with it now.

I want to wipe it clean, make it usable again. and since i have to go through all of that might as well root it and install ICS on it.

What i am looking for here is step-by-step instructions at "i am the dummy level".

Or, if community here preferrs to teach instead of telling my what to do - few links to good threads...

Or both... i am good with both and if i do it once myself when someone tells me what to do i will remember for the next time.

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebarg:
recovery mode

Hi, i think that first you should try to aaces the phone and after that think of ICS. To erase all user data go into recovery mode, that way you don't have to flash your phone. To go into recovert simply turn off your phone and hold (vol. up + home + power) until it boots into recovery, there use the volume buttons to move up and down.

Once there select wipe data/factory reset you can select it by pressing the power button. Then confirm the action and once it's done press reboot now.

Your phone will now start with no password.

If you want to install a custom rom just let me know and i'll guide you through it.

Cheers

Tried Owain's new ROM with a dirty flash, (silly me :o) and when I rebooted, I got the boot image, but it doesn't go past that. After this I was like " Oh I can just go back to CMW and do a clean flash". After the white LG logo the Blue one came up, like normal, but then it just turns into a black screen. I cant go on my phone OR go to CMW to clean flash the ROM. Any help? :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dorkknight:
So are you not able to get into CWM by booting up with the power and down volume buttons pressed? If not, are you able to get into the S/W update screen? (Battery out, volume button held down, insert USB)

If you can't get to boot into CWM at all but can get into the S/W update screen, you can use NVFlasher to reflash CWM. Or, at worst case, install stock.

Wipe completely then factory reset and then go to mounts and storage and wipe system and then flash a rom. If that's too hard then stick to stock, and read some more. That way you wont have to sit around pulling your hair out and stressing or sitting with a nice paper weight. Good luck.
