[Motorola Photon 4G] tiny2nz:
just a shot in the dark from a total NOOB are you using an terminal emulator on the phone or via computer??? I needed to do it via computer torpedo worked for me.... just trying to help...... sometimes the most obvious things are overlooked :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] stevetrooper:
Thanks, I have tried with Android Terminal Emulator and adb shell from my PC, neither worked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
That's a very valid point. After the first soak, many people they needed to use computer, not emulator, for it to work. Wonder is s/he has the right computer drivers?

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Do you have the right drivers? i.e. - do other adb commands work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] stevetrooper:
I downloaded the drivers from the photon torpedo thread. adb works just fine, can push the file to the photon, without any errors. I even tried adb on 2 different computers, Windows XP and the other Windows 7.

The photon-torpedo.sh is very simple:

#!/bin/bash

umask 0

LD_AUDIT="libpcprofile.so" PCPROFILE_OUTPUT="/lib/libphoton-torpedo.so" /usr/bin/X

cat /data/tmp/libphoton-torpedo.so > /lib/libphoton-torpedo.so

LD_AUDIT="libphoton-torpedo.so" /usr/bin/X

When I look in /lib the file libphoton-torpedo.so exists and has a timestamp from when I ran, so its catting the file correctly.

I don't get the # prompt, so running install-su.sh does not work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stevetrooper:
Found this in the photon-torpedo thread in Development:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Aquos1:
I was rooted on stock rom before the latest update. I was able to root using the torpedo method with the latest update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stevetrooper:
This worked! I renamed the file to libphoton-torpedo2.so in the script:

#!/bin/bash

umask 0

LD_AUDIT="libpcprofile.so" PCPROFILE_OUTPUT="/lib/libphoton-torpedo2.so" /usr/bin/X

cat /data/tmp/libphoton-torpedo.so > /lib/libphoton-torpedo2.so

LD_AUDIT="libphoton-torpedo2.so" /usr/bin/X

I then was able to run the install-su.sh and gain root again. I made sure to remove all copies of libphoton-torpedo.so from /lib.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thetolsonator:
I was able to reroot by removing all the files connected to the 2.3.4 root. Follow the directions exactly how it says. Remove all the apps that were installed before (su, term emu) and use adb/term emu to delete all the files.

I blazed through it like the first time I rooted it
[Motorola Photon 4G] .cruiser:
Can confirm too. Torpedo method works fine on the latest update (254_13).
[Motorola Photon 4G] kozmo403:
I'm having issues getting photon-torpedo to work on my phone as well. I was not rooted previous to the update and have not been able to get this root method to work yet.

This is what I get running the script having made the change noted in the post above:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

cd /data/tmp

bash: groups: command not found

Thought it shows root@localhost:/data/tmp# when using a root checker or trying to run an application as root, it fails. Any suggestions or am I hosed?

Thanks in advance.

Update: I was doing it wrong. I wiped the phone to rid it of any leftover files and tried again from the beginning. For some reason I kept missing the last step to run the install-su.sh and once I did that, VIOLA! We have root.

Thanks!

Hi, I am a pretty big noob and I finally decided to man the fuk up and flash to takju jelly bean (I had yakjuux) 4.1 just today by booting up into clockwork and flashing ROM, radio, and bootloader to takju (Worked like a charm :)). Now I am thinking of updating to 4.1.1, but since I am a noob and all, do you think this is necessary update for noob like me to manually update? I can wait a bit for OTA if I have to. Also when I am updating to 4.1.1 (either manually or via OTA) should I hard reset this? Or is it fine for me to just update? Thanks so much for helping a noob like me :) Have a nice day!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can update very similarly but simply by booting into a temporary CWM image and flashing the .zip.

You can also just wait. It's just a small "bugfix" update from 4.1 really. And since you're a takju device now, you shouldn't be waiting long.

You

do not

need to hard reset. These OTAs are 100% meant to be applied without wiping anything.

Hi,

i've been using the GNEX for almost 3 months, it had been rooted and used the AOKP ROM since i have bought my phone. And just last night, while i charge my phone as usual when i got home then i went to a bath, then when i came out and pick up the phone, the back left hand corner is producing a lot of heat!! then i unplug the usb cable immediately and turn off my phone, after around 3 mins, till the phone had cooled down and i thought it was just the cable's problem, so i switch the Nexus S' usb cable instead of the GNEX original one, and it happens again in just 3mins!! so i switched the battery again which both of them are original ones, charge it with my phone on. and it just happens again!!! so i switched off my phone and charge it, and it just charge normally without generating weird heat...! strange!! so do anyone know what's going on with my phone?? should i unroot it and take it back to samsung? please, needed help!! THX!!

I've been using Chrome on my GS2 happily until it came out of beta and was updated. It was my default browser to launch links, since the update the app opens but completely freezes. Only way to get out is pressing home and then force closing it. If I open the app normally (not through a Google+ link etc) it opens fine though. Any ideas?

Okay so ive follwed the steps and when i get to the recovery mode it just says error in update zip or something ? idk what else to do help please .:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Which method are you using to get root and CWM recovery? It sounds like you are trying to use the old method of installing the modified 3e recovery and then using an update.zip. There is an updated way to do this with AT&T 2.3.6, and the old way doesn't quite work the same anymore. Let me know which method you're trying so I know where to direct you from there.

EDIT: Since I'm pretty sure that you are using the old method from stock Froyo to get root and CWM recovery, take a look at this thread. It's a how-to that explains most of the ways to get root and CWM recovery on 2.3.6.:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ashialeigh:
idk i just looked at a youtube video i already rooted it . but i geuss its old .. but its like no matter what i do that update zip thing wont go away
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
It sounds like the old way using an update.zip. In Froyo, we used to replace the stock recovery with a 3e recovery that would allow unsigned files to be flashed. Then we'd flash an update.zip that contained CWM recovery. Just curious, how did you root, and is this AT&T Gingerbread?

I'd read through that how-to thread I posted. If you can use Heimdall or Odin, there are some quick ways to get CWM recovery. In that thread, I've also outlined how to do it yourself on stock 2.3.6.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ashialeigh:
Gingerbread.. and which one would you do for downloading custom roms,?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
To get Gingerbread with CWM recovery for flashing roms, you could flash Option C or Option D from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613523

Or, if you prefer Heimdall, qkster has some nice one-click packages. There are links for those in the first thread I gave you.

If you already have root (How did you root, again?), then you could just flash one of the Gingerbread kernel / CWM recovery packages from here.:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1698367
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ashialeigh:
idk i downloaded some prgram and clicked root .. so which link do i use to bee abke to get clock work recovery to be able to install diffent roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Before you go any further, we need to investigate something. First, let's confirm that you are on AT&T 2.3.6, because most of us haven't found or made a working one-click program to root stock 2.3.6 directly. Can you go to Settings / About Phone and tell me what is listed under "Baseband version"?

If you can do that to confirm that this is AT&T 2.3.6, I'd really like to know what program you used. Or did you root the phone before you were on Gingerbread?

Any of those links that I've given you in the last post will give you CWM (clockwork) recovery to install different roms. An easy way would be to do Option C or Option D at this one. Either one will do. Here's the link again.:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Okay, cool. You're definitely on AT&T Gingerbread. If you figure out how you rooted, let us know. If you flash Option C or Option D at the last link I gave you - again ;) - then you'll be able to flash other roms.

[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
I just bought this battery on ebay today for $13 and its an USA seller too. It should be here a little less than a week. Ill probably put up a video or pics of my first impression and close up the battery if you guys want. Then a little after I'll do a full review once I train my battery and give it some tests. I'm a pretty heavy user so dont be disappointed if I get less than 10 hours, since I average 3-4 hours off the stock battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
I would suggest you read the reviews right from the Amazon link you posted. They give you exactly what you are asking for, personal reviews. Because of this I ordered one and I love it. I cut a hole in my TPU case to fit the cover, it's not perfect it gets the job done as I don't want my phone to be without a case/cover and it only cost me 4 bucks at the time.

When you get it it says that it needs five full charge and discharge cycles for full capacity. I actually used it once for TWO DAYS on a single full charge. :highfive:
[HTC EVO 3D] bsoplinger:
The oddly shaped case is a love or hate design. The plus is that the edges are the thickness of a regular case instead of the fat thickness all other extended batteries have. I also feel it fits better and the buttons, power volume up and down, work better than other backs I've seen although I've never seen the Seidio back. Minus is that the design has this huge unsightly bulge and less than nice aesthetics.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VuickB6:
I have a relatively untouched Atrix, prior to the update that Motorola put out months ago all I did is what I needed to remove the factory installed Swype and install the Swype Beta.

A few nights ago I was following a guide (can't seem to find which one it was) to install CyanogenMod and I was attempting to flash Pudding to my phone through RSD Lite per the instructions and from what I think I have soft bricked my phone.

The screen is showing the failed to boot screen with the menu options. From what I've read I can flash it back to stock if I find the right sbf file but I only get one shot at this.

I only realized after screwing up that I joined a long list of people who didn't do enough research before starting. Would anyone be so kind as to help me get my phone working again? :good:

I feel your pain

Unfortunately I can not offer any help because I have the exact same problem. I can only offer what I hope are helpful details about the phones behavior that might help a knowledgable person with a clue to a resolution.

I rooted my phone by the One Click Root method. Friday morning I accepted an over the air software update and can now no loonger use my phone. My phone is in a boot loop, it will start and run about a minute and then restart, as its trying to restart it gets stuck displaying the error, "failed to boot 2" and "starting RSD mode" but it never gets past that point. I have to pull the battery to move the phone from that point.

When I try to fastboot I get the error "starting fastboot protocol support", but nothing ever happens from there, I have to pull the battery if I want to try the next thing. I tried to enter "Androidd recovery" from the fast boot menue but get the same "failed to boot 2" error.

Help, I am in over my depth. :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I don't have an SBF for the latest update but all the other files have been on my site since December and as well as the Photon Compendium thread in the Developers forum.

At a quick glance from various sources it almost seems like moto did this on purpose. There are a lot of rooted users having issues with this latest update and the update blocks sbf flashing to and older releases. It may be a little bit before we can get this cleared up for you guys.

my s2 has gone mental tonight.

i charged it up to 100% before i left. then tonight for some reason it kept showing this when the charger wasnt plugged in

so i kept restarting and taking out the battery til it stopped.

you can see the charging period didnt seem to show up on the graph. the charging period shown there i was not charging but the phone seemed to think it was. so as i was restarting it a few times it went from about 70 to 49 to 17 to 49 again

and also i havent been able to get a phone signal for ages and then when i can it wont let me register a network.

my phone is now basically just a wifi web browsing device until i get it sorted :crying:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
EVERY single time I've heard of this issue (and there are a TON of threads all over XDA about this, not to mention all over other forums - seriously, just google "i9100 charging paused voltage too high", and watch how many results you get), it is due to a dirty or failing USB port.

Steps to take.

-clean USB port with a clean, dry brush. (don't be TOO rough)

-if that doesn't work, take out the battery, and with a q-tip and small amount of isopropyl alcohol, clean the USB port. Let it dry, then replace the battery.

-if THAT doesn't work, you'll probably have to get the part for the USB port replaced.

such a hassle. im gonna have to unroot it and stuff

oh great and now it keeps randomly vibrating and going to this screen and then back to my home screen
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
By "those things" I'm guessing you didn't actually replace the part for the USB port. Just the cleaning steps?

That image is "desk clock" mode. It gets activated when certain pins in the USB port are shorted with a specific resistance. If you thoroughly cleaned the port as best you could, and are getting random desk clock mode and still randomly getting the charging paused message, then I'd say your USB port is dying a slow death. You'll need to get the part replaced.

From what I hear the part itself is pretty cheap (like $15) and not hard to replace. I don't know if O2 will do it for you though, since you didn't actually buy the phone from them. You can try... but I doubt it, since it was a second hand purchase. Or just take it to a local cellular repair shop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imlgl:
My phone is also having a similar experience. I running an AOKP rom so it keeps charging instead. How long will the usb port work for. It's being sent back to Samsung to have the screen replace and have notified them about this. So will the usb port work till next week or could it die in hours or days?

I'm not sure how someone on a different continent than you can possibly answer a question about the state of the USB port on your phone and how long it will last. :confused:
