Will flashing CWMR prohibit the OTA ICS Update?

Thanks for all of your info.

I have gotten myself back to bone stock ATT 2.3.5 using samfirmware and then Kies updater to wipe and reload and then used the OTA updater to get me to 2.3.6. As far as the OTA system says, I am up to date. The problem is I can't use Titanium Backup to get all my apps back if I am not rooted or use this flashable CWMR you linked to. (or any other apps that depend on root.

I have no technical issues with doing this but I am scared that I will have to start over, and go back square one when the ICS drops if i have CWMR on my system. What do you think about this? Should I wait here with stock 2.3.6 and just check the OTA updater every 24 hours or go ahead and flash CWMR?

Thanks,

Mac
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
You might as well just wait should be any day now. That way you could get the update when it is available.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
You should be able to flash the stock recovery on top of CWM and you'll be good to go for OTAs, although there isn't much point in *just* flashing CWM if you aren't going to deviate from stock otherwise.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
One more thing, I found an even easier root method. If you download the CWM flashable version of superuser from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flash CWM, and then flash Superuser, bam, instant root!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Hi I have used odin and CWMR_recovery.tar.md5 flashed ok, but how do I flash superuser apk etc. I have the file runme2.bat ?? but how do I use it ?

This bit for me is unclear, can anyone assist and make this bit a little clearer for "simple is as simple does."

Thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ItsMeBdon:
You dont flash an apk file you only flash zip files. if you go into the ROM zip/system/app just drop the superuser apk into there and then flash that rom. When you boot up the apk file you put in the ROM will turn into an app on your phones app drawer. Or you could just install superuser in market.:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Thanks for the quick reply, Ive just installed superuser and busybox and supersu ? superuser installed as did the other two, superuser opens but busybox says it cannot install as root is not complete/accessible. the flash of cmw by odin went ok and have rebooted no probs, I have not change operating system just trying to root 2.3.6 gingerbread ! any help appreciated so close yet so far LOL

ATB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ItsMeBdon:
just by installing superuser doesnt root your phone, you have to flash the zip file to root your phone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Ok I understand would this be "root.zip" 633k containing two folders META-INF & system, this was the bit above that confused me : "Once you're on 2.3.6, flash CWM from this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1458153 At this point, there is no need whatsoever to find an exploit in the system in order to try to "root" this phone. CWM provides root access using adb." Thought I had root having CMW LOL thought it was too easy. Is there a link tofile to flash and do I use odin3 for this ?

Sorry for my confusions.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

Ok tried i927_rooted_initd_boot.tar.md5 with odin but no go. I dont want to change from stock - I have found i927-boot-ardatdat_v1.2.zip but I think this will reset the phones settings/apps which I would prefer not to do. Can anyone please advise of rooting files without clearing rom & settings.

Thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
Sorry I should have written the instructions in step by step format. Basically CWM opens up a root to the system, while it is not booted. You have to open it up while the system is booted too. It is very easy to do on the Captivate Glide but takes some steps. Here's the best explanation I have: Android only allows "root" access to apps and utilities in /system. Installing superuser from the market will not work. This does not put it in /system. There are two parts to Superuser. The su utility, which goes into /system/bin, and the superuser.apk program, which goes into /system/app. If you have a flashable ROM of your system, this is very easy to do. THERE IS NO FLASHABLE VERSION OF 2.3.6

You can also try flashing the superuser zip file with CWM. It appears to work on 2.3.6 but for some reason I haven't figured out doesn't actually give you root. You can download it here http://androidsu.com/superuser/

So, I have introduced an alternative method. Here it is:

1. Install Samsung drivers for your phone. You can get them by installing Kies.

2. Flash CWM

3. Boot into CWM. Hold the down volume and power buttons simultaneously

4. Go into mounts and storage and mount /system

5. Connect your phone to your computer. Use a USB port directly on your motherboard and not on a hub (this includes internal USB 3.0 hubs some computers have). Have more than 50% battery available.

6. Wait for all the drivers to load, about 2 minutes.

7. Download the script in the first post of this thread, and paste it into notepad and call it runme.bat. Place this in a folder with adb in a subfolder called files. If you download the zergrush exploit the needed files are in it, but you have to replace the runme file in it with my version.

8. Double click runme and wait

9. Reboot your phone.

10. You have root!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Thats a great explanation thank you so much, however I am stuck at the following part 3. Boot into CWM. Hold the down volume and power buttons simultaneously 4. Go into mounts and storage and mount /system. -

My phone boots with the green android but requires / waits for Odin to be connected, the pc detects the device but I cannot access mount/system so I can not move the files folder across with the bat file, do I also copy the zergrush folder (files) across or just the files contained with it.

My feeling is I do not have proper CWM ??? I wonder what Ive done wrong :rolleyes: I'll keep digging !

Hopefully this should be my last question :D

ATB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
Just do the steps as written. Start by holding volume DOWN and not VOLUME UP :p

And you do not copy this to your phone, you run it from your computer.You are making me a bit nervous. Please read up on how adb works before attempting this.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Dooh - I read it as, hold down volume and power my mistake, I now get to the CWM menu and mount the system folder but altough win xp sees the disks (two of them) I cant access them, it says insert disk ?

I dont mean to seem simple only had the phone two days and with work too, a lot to catch up with & so many threads with different info in them. As said I can now mount the system drive but cant access it I have tried in XP & Vista, two drives are shown but cannot access them ? ran the bat file anyway but just says says "cannot see the path specified" I wasnt expected it do anything anyway TBH as the disks seem locked ? Kies installed ok, win xp showns no conflicts in control panel. Just wish my pc's/phone would see things the same way as described.

So another fork in the journey for me any thoughts on how to access the disks would be great so I can complete this.

ATB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
Read up what adb does and go through the script line by line until you understand what each command does to your phone.

stock based roms like zeus we can make calls with earphones and in roms like cm7 or cm9 we cant, is it possible to enable that feature ??

(or exist any app that i can use?):confused:

thanks
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
I think I don't understand your question....

by "make calls" do you mean like hold-pressing button at earphone to call last number dialed??

cause answering works just fine O_o
[LG Optimus Black] hackerse7en:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koooba:
I bought a phone from Craigslist and it is in great condition, very happy with it.

But the seller told me all I had to do was flash any ROM and I would be set.

Of course, wiping the dalvik and cache files, first, etc...

But one thing I remember reading was, before flashing a new ROM I should Odin the phone to stock settings.

How do I go about finding out if the kernel that's on the phone now is proper?

Or do I just get the kernel files and Odin them back on my own?

(never Odin'd before)

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Best bet is to Odin back to stock ics and reroot and install cmw file. That way u can be fully sure of what u have. Starting always from scratch is best way to do things
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koooba:
So being this phone is from Telus (Canadian carrier), would anyone here be able to tell me if this would be the proper ICS/ROM for the phone?

http://devsrom4android.blogspot.ca/2012/06/telus-canada-samsung-galaxy-s2-ics.html

I'm 99.9% confident it is, but better to ask than screw something up.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] NandroidRage:
I have a question about the difference between the SGH-I747 vs. the SGH-I747M...

The SGH-I747M from Rogers is my first North American Android phone. My previous phone was an I9100... I often read about people who flashed I9100 ROMS on their I9100G, I9100T and I9100M phones who bricked their device.

It appears that ROMs for the AT&T SGH-I747 are fully compatible with the Canadian SGH-I747M models... is that correct? What is the difference and why do they have different model numbers? With the I9100, the letters indicated that there was different hardware in the phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zeesubalpha:
kyanROM works fine on my SGH-i747 and it is based on one of the canadian phones. check the att dev forum for more info.

hope that helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nukkels:
Anyone else had this happen? It's a Telstra phone with the latest Telstra ROM on it, and it used to work perfectly but I recently changed providers and it doesn't work any more - I know the data connection is still OK though as browsing on the phone still works.

Not sure if it's provider blocking (but that's sooooo 2009) or if the phone itself is hard coded to use the 850MHz band for tethering or something? The error I get is simply "Error APN" - but I know the APN is correct (it's just 'internet').
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
You're trying to USB or wifi or BT tether the data cxn on your phone to your PC, yes...?

I guess I'm confused as to why an APN even comes into play here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nukkels:
This is with USB tethering - the same as it always used to work - you plug it into the PC, select Internet on the phone and after a few seconds the PC has access to the internet. File access works fine, internet connection on the phone works fine, just not when tethered as a modem.

I've also loaded GBX0C and Windows can't recognise the device when I'm running XDA (via USB or wifi tethering - it's a desktop PC so no BT) so I can't easily test if it's the ROM or the hardware.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Please, let's keep troubleshooting to WinMo in this section... If you have an issue with a particular Android build, post in that build thread.

As for USB tethering in WinMo - when you select "internet", what happens? Do you get the noise on your PC like you've connected the phone or...? Have you tried a different port, and/or a different cable?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nukkels:
OK, I'll leave Android out of this - I just mentioned because it didn't help me narrow it down.

The PC makes the noise like I've connected a USB device as normal. Actually it does that twice, but that's quite common for a lot of devices. Then on the phone I get a popup window - the title bar says "Cannot Connect" and the message is "Error APN". I've tried different ports (even on a PCI-E card instead of onboard) and different cables. They shouldn't matter though as the only thing that changed was my provider.

I realise this this isn't a generic support forum though so I'm not looking for troubleshooting. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this with a Rhod110 - there's a lot of minor differences in this version, as I discovered when trying to get Android running. Or maybe even someone with some deeper knowledge of the OS knows if the tethered internet connection does anything different to a 'normal' 3G connection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Hrm, I'm CDMA... so I guess I'll bow out. I've never seen/heard of those error messages when trying to tether, but GSM is quite different than CDMA in terms of data connectivity. CDMA doesn't have APN's ;).

Decided to do a quick search...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571832

See if that works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nukkels:
Cheers for that pointing me to that thread - it was indeed just a registry entry hardcoded to Telstra.

Leaving it blank allows me to get a couple of error messages and then eventually select a connection from the list and from there I figured out it just used whatever the connection name is (user-defined). Set the registry entry to that and now it's working just as it always used to.

I wonder how many other functions Telstra has dug it's claws into?

I installed eclipse for ICS with no problem. I then restored everything using Titanium backup. When I rebooted, however, a prompt eventually come up saying something like problem with Eclipse launcher. After two more reboot attempts with the same results, I went to the startup menu, and changed it to reboot without safestrap. (I honestly can't remember why I did it, but regret immediately followed .) Now, when I reboot, it tries to start the stock ROM and gets stuck on the red electric eye. Every time I reboot now, I get to that same point and it goes no further. I can't even access the startup menu anymore. Can someone please help me?

How do you figure? When a Nexus device is about to launch with a new version of Android, AOSP is always updated 1-3 days BEFORE that device is officially released or made available.

[Nexus 7 General] Xi2wiked:
I'm expecting a few days before they have a cm10 repo ready for us. until then i have jellybean aosp.

and rmm200, as for the size of the repo, i have no clue yet. cm9 is about 15+ gb. I'm guessing jellybean should be about the same.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
OK - I read up on the requirements for downloading the repo and building - and decided I am not that bored - yet.

If the Nexus 7 does not come by next week - I may revisit this.

Hello !

My HTC One X has a modified boot screen from my local carrier company ... its awfull..

After the "Quietly Brilliant" screen , normally comes the "One ... Beats Audio" logo, instead i have a carrrier screen ..

I haven´t root or anything yet on this phone, just 1 day old :laugh:

So, how can i delete the carrier boot animation and restore the "Beats audio"?

P.D: The carrier animation also appears when i restart the HOX

Cheers!
[HTC One X] D0GuKaN:
I think there is no way to change bootanimation without root permissions.
[HTC One X] Harrysoon:
Yea the only way to modify the boot/shutdown animations is with root as they reside in /data/local or /system/customize/resource.
[HTC One X] sg4_:
i know i have to root my phone, a just need to know have can i change the bootscreen to international default :cowboy:
[HTC One X] _ice_man_:
Yes you can. When you root your phone you can have any animation you desire. The best way is changing it with rom toolbox pro. There you have hundreds of animation and boot sounds. But if you prefer the international default im certain you can download it from somewhere on the forum.

[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
I was at a T-mobile store and took a look at the One S and the Rezound is better in these aspects.

1. Camera is better quality front and back I have back pics to prove

2. Screen is clearer on Rezound with Sense 4 rom well duh 720p vs qhd

3. I tested sound a little Rezound is clearer.

4. SD card slot/removable battery

One S is better in these aspects

1. Snappier due to stock sense 4 vs port

2. Camera burst mode works much better than laggy burst on Rezound which can be fixed because I saw I think inc 2 with it working really good.

3. Well duh One S has S4 chip

4. Imagechip but really Rezound can get all those imagechip features without it anyway.

One S is better than GSIII in these aspects

1. Better or worse UI but that's personal preference. I like Sense better

2. Beats

3. Better or worse Camera I forgot to test

4. Slimmer

GSIII is better in these aspects

1. 2 GB ram vs 1GB

2. NFC but I really dont care for it.

3. Screen size if you like it bigger (That's what she said)

4. Removable battery/SD card slot

5. 720p screen

Rezound is better than GSIII in these aspects

1. 342ppi vs 306ppi which technically means clearer screen on Rezound but still with Samoled HD on GSIII looks better.

2. 2mp vs 1.9 but really who cares about .1 difference.

3. Camera is a bit better. Sorry dont have pics since I forgot to send GSIII photo to my phone.

4. Beats and comes with Beats headphones

GSIII is better than Rezound in these aspects

1. NFC but like I said I really dont care for it

2. S4 Chip and phone is snappier

3. Bigger screen if you like it.

4. Slimmer.

5. Better battery

6. Screen looks sharper cause of Samoled

I did also notice lag opening GSII camera though and cam force close.
