[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Not sure if we are referring to the same thing...the cwm I'm referring to is ClockWorMod Recovery...it should be a .IMG not an app/.apk
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
oh ok , i was thinking you meant like putting clockworkmod on the phone manually using the pc
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Yeah you can put it on the phone using the pc using the vivid toolkit I linked in my post above
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
not sure what happen but the home screen kept getting stuck with nothing on the screen and i couldn't do anything

im gonna relock the boot loader and run the factory ruu and start over i guess

if i install the rom again and its rooted will i still have to root the stock one before it will work ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
No need to root, relock boot loader, run ruu, then unlock bootloader and flash recovery from vivid tool kit that I li.ked above...from there just flash the Rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
ok let me try that right quick ,... well for me right quick lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
i think i just about got it back where i was and i guess i will call it a night and try again tomorrow .

many thanks for all the help you have given im sure its not over yet just dont let me be a pest .

thanks .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
No worrys, I don't mind helping out...everyone has to start somewhere...it wasn't to long ago since I was sin your shoes...once you get going though it will only get easier and eventually it will become natural

Just let me know tomorrow if you get stuck
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
i think maybe i got it done , so far everything is working except the wifi once i get that back and check it all over a few hrs i will know

what do i need to do to fix the wifi?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
WiFi is probably caused by kernel failing to flash...you can extract the boot.IMG from the Rom and flash that with flash image gui, if you have trouble extracting it I can extract it, upload it and send you a link
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
After flashing he boot.IMG if wifif still isn't working then reflash the rom...sometimes I have to flash the kernel with flash image GUI then flash the Rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
ok if you can because im only finding 2 one says mkbootimg and the other the same with . 2 at the end

i clicked on the kozmikkernel in the set up when i installed the rom , it has all kinds of questions that i dont know so i left em all default
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
ok if i cant get it this way i will try that , when the program ask me which kernel it has a few and then it says use a user kernel file instead or something like that so i should click that and just go on with installing the rom right?

then just put the zip file on sd and flash gui it ? or the boot file in the zip?

i also wanted to tell you the cwm i was talking about was the rom manager app is what i lost i lost it this time too but the recovery was still there and i can still boot into it

before i lost that image i guess when i did a recovery with the rom manager because i had it then did a recovery so i guess i messed it up i was thinking that it meant like make a backup of what rom i was on but anyway all i did this time was boot into recovery and installed the zip from sd.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
It's probably easier just to flash a kernel zip...all you need to do is flash it....

Just flash this in cwm recovery, don't need to wipe anything just flash it

http://d-h.st/rBg

That should fix WiFi
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
i tried that flash gui app before i seen the reply and it made the phone boot loop like last time so im reinstalling the rom and soon as it finished i will do that and see what happens
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
so basically all i ever need to do is dl the file leave it as a zip put it on the sd or ph go into recovery and install ?

[edit] that fixed it wifi now works i will play with the phone for a few and see what it does

got 2 last questions if i may , is the a zip for just the darkraider rom ? or can i make one out of it if so what do i need to take out of the files?

and is the a way to unlock the hotspot on this phone? [edit] [again] opps never mind this it now works that i did the re flashing

thanks again for the help
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
You can flash that kernel zip for any Rom I think...its just a kernel, ill double check in a sec tho to see I'd there's any Rom it doesn't work with

As for hotspot...ill look into how to enable it and ill let you know

So just for clarification...

The kernel zip can be flashed on any Rom as far as I know...its not specific to dark raider

And I'm not sure on hotspot but will let you know
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
i got the hotspot it actually works now that the wifi works ,

so i think i got what you are saying , which is the some kernels may not work with all roms and vise verse correct ?

and what i was wondering is there is a rom zip for just the darkraider ? because this one is 594mb comes with several options and you don't use most of the file only what you select , i only wondered just to save space not that big of a deal.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
1) good job getting hot spot to work

2) yes...there are a few kernels that don't work with Roms and vice versa

3)I don't think there is just a rom zip for dark raider with out all those options...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
ok got it , i think im starting to understand some .

i will keep at it and maybe some time i can help someone the way you helped me , its good to have people like you that are willing to be patient with us that don't quite get it yet and i really appreciate the help and wont for get it,

if have any more questions i will just reply to this post or a pm if that is ok.

thanks a million
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Yeah that's fine, feel free to post here or pm me...I see xda as a site for learning and sharing what you've learned...I know some people on here can be rude to people that are new but there's always some that are willing to help where they can :)

The more you mess around and experiment the easier it will get :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
right on , i will keep at it and do what i can to help out when and if i can .

i will post an update of how its going on the phone in the morning

thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
**update**

The only things that I've had any issues with is

Facebook was locking up the phone so I dumped it and reinstalled it now it works , a bit slow to start sometimes but not that big of a deal the other thing is some bigger web pages will turn white at the of loading and finally just pop up but only sometimes it does that .

And this morning I rebooted and got the unfortunately popup

And one said something about " the process .com android stopped " ? Something like that and then I got one about send stopped ,

So I pulled the battery and got the one about process again then finally it all came back .

Any one heard of these issues ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
On he vivid...I've never heard or expierenced any of the issues except the large web page one...

On my Samsung infuse, the com.android was a common process to stop on boot ups for customl roms due to

modifications...typically if you just ignored or force closed it you would be good...I've never used dark raider so I really have no clue on what you should expect for it-ill flash it later today and let you know if I expierence your issues
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Ok thanks

I will keep at it and see if I find any other things that I may have any questions about .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I kept having loading issues so I dl the beta 12 and up the processer speed to the 3 rd from the top (the last one before it says be careful ) and everything is slam n now

Still have WiFi and hotspot so I will run with it another day or so .

Why do I have to be careful if I crank it on up ?

What if I used the faux123 kernel its a 1.73 GHz would it be in the be careful category? And do I have to choose all them different settings with every kernel ? If so I need to learn what all that means before I start chlicking on them .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
You don't have to choose the settings with every kernel...some just flash with everything already set...others (like this one give you the choice for settings)

The reasons you have to be careful

*overclocking the processor(CPU):

Our phones CPU was built to go at 1.5Ghz, however HTC underclocked the CPU to 1.2Ghz with the stock kernel to save battery life. This means anything up to 1.5GHz is technically safe...once you start going above 1.5GHz you begin pushing the processor to the limit...and according to some people shortening its life...the higher you over clock the CPU the faster it runs, the faster it runs the more heat it generates and the more power it drains...so by over clocking your processor you also raise the possibilty of over heating your phone...remember these phones have no cooling systems like computers do...and if you over clock it too much you can fry the processor immediately...lucky that is not yet possible for us or any mobile device I know as devs don't allow the option to go to that extreme...also, sometimes overclocking.can make the CPU unstable and actually cause more lag...

*underclocking your processor(CPU):

When you under clock the CPU you slow it down, this reduces the speed, heat and power consumption...however if you lower it to much your phone may nit have enough processing power to complete tasks making your phone unstable and likely to crash...

Also...there is about 1000MHz in 1GHz...so when you see 1200MHz its about 1.2GHz
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Gotcha , so I'm a little over the limit and should watch the temp to see if it gets hotter than normal .

I did have a question about flashing kernels , is it ok to just go into recovery and flash one over another or should I wipe anything ?

I forgot to add that I was using the on demand on the rc2 and the badass gov with the beta 12
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
You should be fine if your a little over the limit...you really shouldn't have anything to worry about unless you go over the 1.73GHz in fauxs kernel...and you can flash a kernel over another without wiping anything although a lot will suggest to wipe cache and dalvic cache after flashing a kernel...although when ever I do that I usually get bootloops...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Cool deal , so far the beta 12 is working great and the batt isn't going much faster if any .

I may try the faux one in a day or so just for the practice , or what would be the difference if I just reflash this kernel and turn it up to 1.73 ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Honestly...I don't know, I've never really compared the two...
[Kindle Fire General] Jujubeanz:
So I'm extremely pleased with how much more my rooted kf can do now (or how little I could not do previously).. Google Play works well for the most part, and my device is listed as "Kindle Fire", but Google apps especially (Chrome, Google Deals, Street View (google maps works without fine oddly enough) as well as other big players (instagram, groupon, ect..) simply will NOT properly install on the Play Store. Even when I sideload the app elsewhere they don't always even try to install and when they do, if I try to update them, I'm redirected to Amazon's app store where they don't exist. Any workaround?:confused:
[Kindle Fire General] davuong:
If you are in Amazon Stock ROM, it's the Ginger Bread 2.3.4, many android apps not compatibility

You should install the ICS (4.0.x) or JellyBeans (4.1.x) and enjoy the apps
[Kindle Fire General] lyanrocke:
I am currently running a 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and the only compatibility issue i'm experiencing with an app is with HULU and Flash Player which makes sense since Adobe has announced they are discontinuing support for future Android operating systems. If Flash Player is important to you then flash an ICS 4.0 rom.
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
You can sideload flash player. It works fine.

Tried a few roms and suddenly unable to look at photo gallery. Just shows blank thumbnails and also unable to delete files from internal memory..?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
Can you access your files via USB to your computer?

If you're using an app like root explorer make sure you are in read/write and not read only.

Also, you may need to unmount or remount your sdcard partition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeager79:
I can thru pc but not on tablet. Theres no unmount its built in. I cant see pictures thru gallery either just shows blank thumbnails
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
Ok I would copy all of the data on internal memory over to your PC first and foremost.

Once you've verified it's all copied over and safe, make a nandroid backup and save it to your computer.

Remove all external media, and then do a factory reset by powering up with volume down, skipping over the press up for recovery so it goes to the bootloader and then do the full internal wipe factory reset all the way to the left side of the icons. Then reboot your tablet, your same Rom should be installed and running. Once you reboot go into recovery and in recovery wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system and then flash your Rom and reboot. Drop just a few pics or something on your internal sd card as a test and if it works copy it all back over.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeager79:
Worked perfect! THANK YOU
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
Wow this worked very well for too! Better than having to try the other method of wiping. Now i can sell this tablet and move on with my life. Had a good time with it but its very unstable for everyday use.

Half the time I lose access to my other sd cards and it comes up with these funky files and have to reformat it.

Oh well but thanks for the advice
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fa7592:
Earlier this week I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III for ATT. It already had Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 on it and so I rooted it. Well the day after rooting it I get a message in my notification bar that there's a new software update available from ATT. Am I safe to do this update since my phone is rooted? I doubt the update is anything major, but does that make a difference?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drothenberger:
Check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768826

You can apply the update if you're rooted using the method in that thread or by installing OTA Rootkeeper before you apply the OTA. If you apply the OTA directly, you'll need to go back to stock recovery, then install CWM again when it's done. You'll also probably want to backup the Google Search widget (I forget the exact .apk -- search the forums) and restore it after to avoid losing Universal Search.

But the easiest way is to just flash the zip in the thread above through your CWM recovery.

As for the contents of the OTA: It updates the kernel, bootloader, lots of applications, some system libraries, wpa_supplicant and it's firmware (I think that's for wifi), and the modem. I've got it installed and didn't notice a huge difference, but you might. The thread above also includes separate flash files for the kernel and modem in case you want to try just those.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fa7592:
Thank you very much. I appreciate the quick response and the help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jrbaker624:
would I just have to reflash the kernel I'm on now if I were to update that way?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drothenberger:
No. There's a zip file there with the OTA but with the bootloader and kernel updates removed. You can flash that to keep your kernel. There's another zip file there with just the bootloader if you want to update that, too. Just flash both (No Bootloader No Kernel, the Bootloader).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fa7592:
UPDATE:

okay so I followed the steps in the thread you provided, and when I go to flash the update zip in recovery mode, i get an error and it aborts the installation. Heres the error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="

d2att" | | getprop("ro.build.product") =="

d2att"

E:Error in /emmc/I747UCALG1_OTA.zip

Any idea as to what this may mean?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jrbaker624:
I am also getting same error I was on team epics recovery then saw it wouldn't work for that recovery so I flashed a new recovery and still get the same error.

Tried flashing the no boot loader zip. And the no boot loader and no kernel zip
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drothenberger:
It means you're using the Team Epic recovery and not the one from clockworkmod.com. Try installing the 5.8.4.5 version of clockworkmod.com recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28612095. That link has zip files you can flash from your current CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fa7592:
Oh I see. So should I just download that file and replace the CWM zip file thats already on my phone. Or do I have to do something in Odin again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] robstunner:
Download OTA Rootkeeper from the play store, save root, then install the OTA. Reboot and OTA rootkeeper restore root.
