Read 2nd post again. This time make sure you understand. If you have a GoldCard, you have a lesser problem.
[HTC Desire S] a5mcclelland:
I've tried using a gold card, with my phone S-OFF at the time, and used the correct RUU file I needed (RUU_Saga_TMO_UK_1.30.110.2...) but it would get 15 minuits into the installation and complain about the bootloader version being incorrect. This was when I had verion 1.47.110... installed and I couldn't find that version of the RUU anyway.

Fast-forwarding to yesterday, I found an RUU with Android 2.3.5 on it (RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5), and this installed perfectly. Despite it being the world-wide-english version instead of UK only, it works and I'm settling with it. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys, bit of a noob question here but nevertheless i shall ask it anyway

So as we know the samsung galaxy s3 has a quad core processor which churns out 1.4ghz which is rather fast!

But ive only seen the overclocking abilities for it to run at 1.7ghz max? Why is this? the galaxy note can run at 1.9ghz via dual core.

my question is this, why cant is run at over 2ghz? i mean 1.4 is enough but id like to say "my phone can run the same speed as my laptop"

Sorry for the noob-ish question but if anyone would reply, it would be great :D

Jack.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhericurls:
I've yet see a phone that can open the http://www.theverge.com/ at a decent speed.

I overcloceked to 1.6Mhz and still didn't make any difference.

Why would you want to run at 2.0Mhz?

Running at that speed would juts increase battery usage and overheat the CPU.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Ah right, yeah it even took my computer like 10seconds to load that site!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
why wouldnt you want a phone to run at over 2ghz? admittedly your right about the overheat and battery life
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOZdroid:
For that exact reason...heat and battery life. What more reason would you need. For most instances its unnecessary. Isn't saying its quad core enough...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
It will be faster wait for jellybean its optimized for more cores
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LowSky:
The same applies to pc chips, more cores mean more heat. It's why many current dual and quad core chips are faster than the newer hex and 8 core chips. Less cores means more room for heat tolerances.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scared27:
The reason dual and quad cores are faster is because of the limitation of software and how multithreaded it can be (and there will be a point of diminishing returns which will be a lot sooner for basic programs).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
I have a dual core 3ghz pc and my new pc is just 2.8ghz quad i7.... My old pc must be much faster!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
It seems the SGS3 can open and scroll through http://www.theverge.com/ very fast, I've just tested it.

Is it not fast enough on yours?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
I lol'd. 1.7ghz quad is leaps and bounds better than 1.9ghz dual. 1.7 and 1.9 ghz isn't that big of a leap, but 2 cores versus 4 cores is pretty significant. Jelly Bean improves multi-core processors so the SGS3 International version is going to be even more sick-nasty (in a good way) once that rolls out. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
Exactly

No it isn't. Not anymore than ICS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave9583:
I dont know why u compairing a desktop pc to galaxy s3. A pc will win hands down but I have a fairly upto date pc. And since got this phone i never really use it unless doing video editing. This phone is great and is as good as a standarded laptop If not better. This speed is brilliant to, maybe jelly bean will make a great phone greater. And another thing apps for this phone weather it be media or web browsing etc isn't really pushing this phone to the limit. So give it a while might see a bigger improvement.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doughnut:
There is more to CPU performance than the clock frequency, core efficiency is the key here.

E.g. Intel P4 processor -v- Intel 'Conroe' Processors.

The newer Conroe processors were smashing the granny out of the older P4 processor despite the significant lower clock speed. Does that mean the newer processors are inferior? No, it just means each clock cycle handles more instructions.

If you want willy waving rights about how awesome your phone is go buy an iPhone and check if theres an app for that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Nothing specifically says "Jelly Bean is optimized for multi-core processors". That said, that entire article shows that Jelly Bean was brought about with processors in mind. You really think Google is going to make an OS that will "ramp CPUs to their full speed whenever touch interaction is detected," and "include a new profiling tool" that shows applications "use of the CPU" but not make sure it's going to be optimized for dual and quad-core devices? Also, keep this in mind:

Jelly Bean Lite

I'd say you're probably wrong about Jelly Bean not being optimized for multi-core devices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
What really matters to the average person is that in real life use the S3 really isn't that much faster than S2, so until we get an OS optimised for those extra cores all we really gonna have is the "My processor's bigger than your processor" bragging rights.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
Benchmark scores do show that it's a decent difference in the S2 versus the S3, though overall I would have to agree with you. But Jelly Bean will definitely be closer to the mark than Ice Cream Sandwich in terms of CPU optimization. That's my personal opinion based on my above comment of course.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:

any tips on making the mount? interested in doing this for my 8" skywatcher dob.

do you ever use anything like skeye or google sky maps in conjunction with your scope? just thinking that if you have a mount for video, maybe you could hook up something similar to make a sort of manual "goto" system?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kapetan:
Well after it has happened to mi twice in 2 months I decided to go hard on problem and solve it somehow.

I've made to solve it, but I don't understand what has caused this problem...

Anyway,what's about this thread?

Both times all pictures from gallery (pictures that I've maid with camera, not downloaded/received ones) have dissapeared while phone was in sleep mode. It has pissed me off once 'cause I didn't had backup and I learned the lesson. There was no symptom why that happened, I was sure that some app caused it. Wrong. Wiped everything, installed new stock ROM and it had happened again.

Since I'm not familiar with sw/hw "connections" and how the way these two interacts, please could someone explain to me

why battery removal for 1 minute is causing all photos showing back in gallery like nothing happened???????

Yes, I was angry on this and I tried last shot, removing battery and...it worked out!

So, what's the problem then?

Cache problem? Phone is not handling cache verry well and it causes not showing pictures...? What?

All this is not related in any way to root&custom ROM's&kernels&any other modifications. Again it has happened to me second time on all stock ...

[HTC Amaze 4G] jazzersaxman:
Hi there,

I have yet to find a specific answer searching other threads, so I am posting here...

Is there a way to Root the updated Tmobile ICS update?

I thought about flashing another ROM like Cyano9, etc. but mostly I want to remove the crappy bloatware that is on the ICS update.

Obviouslly, I don't want to brick my device, but all I've seen on the forums are the Gingerbread versions of the root process...I've heard it won't cooperate with the same methods using it for ICS.

Thanks...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Same method to root for GB will work on ICS nothings changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HTC Amaze 4G] jazzersaxman:
Ideas?

Hi there,

Thanks for the help...I suspected as much, but I needed to check from those who tried and succeeded. I was looking at the site theunlockr.com for a one step root. Is this for real?

One more question - I've rooted my old phones before, but I always new where to get the original Tmobile file in case I wanted to revert back to the original ROM...does anyone know where I can find the ICS Tmobile ROM just in case I root and either it doesn't work or I decide to return to bloatware-central?

For some reason, I am more nervous to root this phone than my older ones...I'm afraid of a brick...

Thanks again!:good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
The only rooting method that's gonna work is the version via hasoons tool.

1. Unlock your bootloader

2. flash a custom recovery

3. Install SuperSu.zip

Once you're s-on, which you are, you're safe from bricks, since you can't change the files that would cause a brick.

The stock tmobile ruu is available in the dev section in the stock ruu/ota thread.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shempie:
I have a nook tablet, had it since about December I think. I had rooted it the day after I got it, then again after 1.4.1 update (then again a couple times trying to block updates) As far as I remember it was rooted 1.4.0.

The tablet was working fine, then one morning I try to wake it and it is in factory restore mode, and fails (! and says try again or contact customer service)

I was able to run cm7 from an sd card but other attempts at restoring the factory software have failed. I tried the ubuntu unbrick and it appeared to finish but the tablet still tried factory restore and failed.

I eventually contacted bn customer support and they kept having me hold power+n but no prompt ever came up, it would either stay black after the n logo went away or try reset again. They decided to replace the tablet and are shipping one.

I was hoping for advice here: What do you think went wrong, what should I have tried and didn't, and . . . are bn gonna be upset when they receive this nook tablet, will they be able to tell that it was rooted?

I really do not feel the need for a replacement if it is something I can fix and I sure as heck do not want to get charged :/

edited to add: I have tried the method in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 after removing sd card and restarting, it tried to factory reset and failed again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] clutchmasters:
It seems to me that you somehow accidentally broke the "factory" partition table so with that being said the only option you have is to get it replaced under factory warranty as erasing "factory" partition meant that there is no serial number or any original info. attached with the device so resetting ROM wont work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] samsgun357:
I would tell them it happened after 1.4.3 ota update and get it replaced!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mattc8210:
I'm having this same issue and I spoke to B&N and convinced them to replace the Nook. The only problem is the terms to which they want you to agree in order for them to replace it. You have to give them a credit card number that they will charge 250 dollars if they don't receive the defective Nook

OR

if they determine the problem isn't their fault or is due to some sort of tampering.

What we're doing could be construed, at least by B&N, as tampering. Although with my issue, I only booted CM7 from the SD card and never rooted or otherwise altered the internal OS. Apparently the partition got corrupted somehow with the booting and re-booting from the SD card.

So now I've been told I can get a replacement but obviously I don't want to be on the hook for 250 bucks in the event they deem the damage "my fault."

If I ever get this straightened out I think I'm gonna sell this thing and get a Nexus 7.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] carrevan:
When I tried the new OTA with a new Incredible I got off of eBay (not rooted or tampered with) it kept messing up half way through and causing my phone to constantly reboot. I restored my phone but when I leave it plugged in with 3G on the OTA messes up my phone again.

I don't have root access so ES Explorer can't delete the .zip in the security folder to stop the OTA.

I've been trying to downgrade the HBOOT and get it to 2.3.3 but it won't work.

I either want it to be full stock or gain S-OFF so I can put CM9 on there. I have HBOOT .98 and can't get it to downgrade.

So, I tried following the following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298990

Everything worked fine up until near the end. It says "remote: 99 unknown fail". (SEE 1ST IMAGE)

*NOTE, ERASING CACHE WILL WORK. JUST DIDN'T THIS TIME. I'VE TRIED THIS SUCCESSFULLY UP UNTIL THE REMOTE 99 FAIL*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...v=CgIYFGcVimU&annotation_id=annotation_395071

It's still 2.3.4, Sense 2.1.

My phone is Unlocked but still S-ON. I can't get rid of S-ON no matter what I try and do.

See 2nd image for what my HBOOT looks like.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what steps I need to follow at this point?

Also, can I flash CM9 and delete bloatware even with S-ON?

Thanks!

To my knowledge I didn't use that. Just what is listed on these links.

You need to relock the bootloader before pursuing s-off.

to relock bootloader

Navigate to your adb & fastboot folder

adb remount
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock

Then you should be able to downgrade and s-off.

Thank you! I actually decided to stick with stock. The new OTA actually worked this time around so I have no issues. IF ICS ends up never coming out, I'll eventually root. I really enjoy Cyanogenmod but for now stock feels safe for me.

Download the gingerbread RUU located http://minus.com/mvivow#1

I recommend renaming before downloading it.

rename it PG32IMG

Be careful with windows because it might rename it as PG32IMG.zip.zip. It won't work.

Move it to the sdcard

reboot into bootloader and allow the update. Its a signed RUU, so it should work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] carrevan:
It says "Main Version is older! Update fail"

Is there a RUU yet for the latest 6.xxxx OTA version?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] carrevan:
I used the HTCDev tool to unlock again. At that point I was able to flash an .img of clockwork mod recovery.

When I re-locked I could no longer access Recovery. It said ***SECURITY WARNING*** and would not enter it.

I unlocked again and could use recovery, which is what I'm doing right now.

Am I not allowed to use Recovery with a locked phone?

Also, if I leave my phone unlocked, IF and WHEN there might be an ICS OTA for the Inc 2, can I still download and install while being unlocked?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bberryhill0:
It would be less confusing if you used the same user name on all the forums you post on.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] carrevan:
Sorry dude.

Here's what is happening now... let me re-clarify.

So I had several issues caused by the latest INC 2 OTA. After the OTA messed up my phone I followed several threads online to downgrade to 2.3.3. After I did this, I updated back to 2.3.4 and then did the new OTA. It worked.

When I did this, "recovery" disappeared in the bootloader.

I eventually unlocked my phone again and was able to flash a custom recovery.img to get clockwork mod recovery back on. Everything was going smoothly!

I then entered recovery and accidentally restored a previous backup (version 5.xxxxx which would power off due to the OTA messing it up). So I immediately did a factory reset.

After this, the Radio is 1.09.01.0312. Every time I boot up it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I've tried clearing cache, formatting system and then doing a factory reset. It still is the same.

To my knowledge this current radio is the radio for the new OTA (6.xxxxxx). My phone thinks it's software is still 5.xxxxxx due to the accidental restore.

I guess the radio I need ends in .1111. Would not having this radio cause this issue? I downloaded the radio but it says I have to be S-OFF to install it.

I am currently unlocked and S-ON.

Am I screwed or is there anything I can do to fix this?

I can only Fastboot and use CMD prompts. I don't even care if it's a custom rom at this point. Anything I can do to restore the phone.

Please and thank you.

EDIT: Also, PG32IMG files will not work. If I go to manually install it says E: Can't open sdcard/PG32IMG.zip (BAD)

Nor will it go through when I boot it up in the bootloader. I tried this for the version 5.xxxxxx. Do I need to wait for a 6.xxxxxx officiall RUU PG32IMG to come out? I haven't seen one yet.
