[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
there are many options

1. you can use windows phone like launcher from market as @ zoot1 said.

2. theme your go ,apex,nova,adw launcher using windows phone based theme.

if you are not satisfied

3. flash cm10 it has a dedicated windows phone like theme ;) atleast based on colors.

***unlocked***

shooter xc ship s-on RL

hboot 1.50.0000

radio -0.97.10.000

emmc-boot

aug 7 2011

I have a hand me down Sprint evo 3d that I believe has the HTC dev unlock. I attempted to install the following OTA update.

- OTA_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3-2.08.651.2_release_2201598na37g8l1af4e904

The phone restarted during the update and went to the exclamation screen with the blue android guy. I can get into hboot but when I try to get into recovery the phone boot loops again.

I have been reading for hours and have found several suggestions but do not know where to go from here. From what I can tell I need to re-flash a rom and/or flash a recovery image but but I am not sure exactly what versions of either is needed, where I would get it or if any prior steps are required due to the phones current configuration. I am also not sure how to complete this as from what I can tell, I may have trouble due to the 1.5 boot loader. As much as I would like to try a few things on my own, I don not want to cause more damage or more work for myself.

A few notes.

- I am using a MAC

- I have the android SDK installed but am not familiar with any commands.

- I do not know what version of android I had installed prior to the attempted updated other then I am sure it was a stock HTC load.

- I have not done anything other then try to load recovery since the boot loop

- I can not locate a back up on the SD card.

- I have access to a external SD card reader

- I have access to a external battery charger.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
flash stock recovery, lock your bootloader then run the ota exe. But why on earth are you flashing the old gingerbread ruu when ICS is available?
[HTC EVO 3D] mirkinator:
I attempted to flash the recover using recovery image you posted in another thread.

The phone rebooted back into the boot loop. I can still access hboot but am not able to access recovery. I may be using the wrong method or commands.

Input:

./fastboot-mac boot ./recovery.img

Output:

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

booting... OKAY

Here is what I get in the fast boot help menu...

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

commands:

update <filename>.................................reflash device from update.zip

flashall..................................................flash boot + recovery + system

flash <partition> [ <filename> ]...............write a file to a flash partition

erase <partition>...................................erase a flash partition

getvar <variable>..................................display a bootloader variable

boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ]...................download and boot kernel

flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ].....create bootimage and flash it

devices.................................................list all connected devices

reboot....................................................reboot device normally

reboot-bootloader....................................reboot device into bootloader

options:

-w...............................................erase userdata and cache

-s <serial number>.......................specify device serial number

-p <product>................................specify product name

-c <cmdline>...............................override kernel commandline

-i <vendor id>...............................specify a custom USB vendor id​

Do you know if I am attempting to flash the recover correctly? It appears as if it is looking for a boot.img from a rom.

To answer your question, the original goal was to update to ICS. I was not aware that the the phone was dev unlocked and never considered that the OTA would cause a problem. I thought it was odd that the available OTA it offered was GB but wrote it off as potentially requiring a series of sequential updates to arrive at the latest version.
[HTC EVO 3D] mirkinator:
After reading this thread I tried flashing again....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592922

Input:

/fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img

Output:

sending 'recovery' (5068 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

The phone went back into a boot loop. I am essentially back to were I started.

I would assume the above procedure is correct. Other then trying other recovery images, I am not sure where to go from here.
[HTC EVO 3D] mirkinator:
I flashed the CWM image from this link as well with no luck.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19944274&postcount=9
[HTC EVO 3D] mirkinator:
Still no luck here. Does anyone think the problem flashing the recovery has anything to do with s-on? I found this link related to the legend and think it may apply.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1290841

I obviously have not tried it because the linked CWM appears to not apply to my phone and I found nothing on CWM's site that would apply.

I am not specifically looking to go stock. I just would like to get the phone working again. Do I need to get recovery working to flash this? Should I just be looking for rom and using hboot with PG86IMG.zip on the SD card? Any input on this would be very much appreciate.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
you should not boot the stock recovery , it will never work.

you should flash it to your device. then take the ota .

if it does not work, lock your bootloader after flashing stock recovery , then take OTA.
[HTC EVO 3D] malicenfz:
I'm having the same problem, boot loop after trying to flash the new OTA zip from the development section now no matter what ROM I flash nothing works. Do I have to try and relock the boot loader then run the stock RUU?
[HTC EVO 3D] mirkinator:
Thank you, I was not aware of that. However, I should be able to flash custom recoveries while unlocked s-on correct? I have tried flashing quite a few custom recoveries and am still unable to boot into recovery using hboot or ./fastboot-mac boot (recovery).img.

I plan on working on it more tonight and if I can get it working I'll be sure to post the resolution for other experiencing the same issue. Thanks again for your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] malicenfz:
I just relocked my bootloader and went back to stock Ill mess with it later but at least it works now.
[HTC EVO 3D] mirkinator:
That is great, thanks for the update. I'll give it a shot after work and report back. I got hung up on not being able to get a stock or custom recovery loaded. I was worried about not using recovery to "clean up" before moving on.

Out of curiosity, what method did you flash your rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] malicenfz:
I used the touch recovery then it went to bootloop so I re locked the bootloader and ran the stock RUU, then updated to the OTA 4.0.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkVanguard:
Did you actually flash the OTA successfully and no roms would boot afterward?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You can't take the ota if you are unlocked. Flash twrp 2.2.0 (directions are on their site), then flash a custom rooted ROM. Since you are s-on, you will have to flash the kernel properly (using fastboot or flash image GUI). I recommend you get s-off.

I would give you links, but I'm on my phone. Google is your friend.

Wow Thanks Guy. I used this method to stop boot-loops with 4.0 Rom and it worked like a charm.
[Motorola Droid 4] andrewNY:
If I have an international dataplan with Verizon, and I flash one of the ICS leaks to the Droid 4, will the Droid 4 roam overseas using the included SIM card?
[Motorola Droid 4] GermanGuy:
Don't know, but even if you could, I would not recommend it. Just get a local SIM card instead in the countries you are travelling too. A lot cheaper.
[Motorola Droid 4] silver6054:
Yes, if you are in one of the covered countries, data is $25 for 100MB, otherwise it is $20+ per MB. And in most places voice is at least $1 per min. Local SIMs are much much cheaper.
[Motorola Droid 4] andrewNY:
Well, I'm asking for a friend who has a grandfathered data plan, so I am not concerned about the data price. I just need to know if the included (Vodafone?) roaming SIM will work when running the ICS leak.
[Motorola Droid 4] silver6054:
Grandfathered international data plan? I thought that had been stopped.

Most people here outside the US are using local SIMS, but I recall on another group someone used the included SIM with their ICS Razr. So, not a guarantee (different phone, different OS!) but it seems likely. Verizon wants you to use their sim once ICS is officially released
[Motorola Droid 4] andrewNY:
Yeah, I was suspicious about his 'grandfathered international plan' myself, and told him to call Verizon to make sure of the details before he leaves on his trip next week. Like most people, I would just buy a local SIM myself when going abroad.

I successfully flashed ICS using the instructions in the Development forum, and the phone is working fine here so far in the USA. Alas, there is no way to test the roaming feature until my friend actually is in Europe next week, so I'll ask him if it works and reply back here so other people can know how well the Verizon roaming feature works.
[Motorola Droid 4] CowboyNick:
I was just in the Netherlands and can confirm that I was able to roam on the ICS Leak 6.16.215 with no problems. I was on the $25 for 100M plan.
[Motorola Droid 4] dwizzo:
So the Droid 4 is not sim locked? Meaning, if we flash the official ICS (6.16.217) we can pop a local sim card in Europe and it will work?
[Motorola Droid 4] tobby88:
Yes, several people are using the Droid 4 in Europe (especially Germany). Works fine! No simlock, just install ICS and it works.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Yes, though it's a generally nicer experience if you put a custom ROM on there and remove the Verizon crud, otherwise you'll get a "This SIM is from an unknown source" error every time you reboot.

I wrote a handy guide for how to do it.
[Nexus 7 General] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Greetings,

I tried to ask this in the NexusRoot Toolkit thread, but I need 10 posts.

My question has to do with Nexus 7 Security and Rooting. Can I turn the developer options back off after rooting, and still have the 'rooted' experience? I'm concerned with any malware infections, and also exploiting the device using a Cellebrite UFED:

w w w .cellebrite.com/mobile-forensics-products/forensics-products.html

I will be encrypting the entire device using Android encryption. Anything to watch out for when enabling encryption, in relation to rooting? Is the max unlock/encryption length still 16 characters on Jelly bean?

Thanks,

RF
[Nexus 7 General] mateorod:
Well, you are defending against two different things there.

ufed goes through the usb client mode while you would be defending installed software from the network for whatever malware concerns you might have.

I don't know if anything in user space can defend against a ufed if they want your data bad enough. I have seen it suggested that if you put something like Ubuntu on the device the ufed wouldn't know what to do with it. But I am sure they have plenty of tech specialists who they could then turn the device over to.

A check at a traffic stop might be something you could defend against. But if they have a subpoena and time...well the laws protect them not us.

You could use PDroid to stop apps from having permissions. That seems like the best defense to me for regular everyday data mining. We have not brought it to Jelly Bean yet, but it shouldn't be long.
[Nexus 7 General] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Thanks Sir. This is my first Tablet, and my first 'DIY' Unlock & Root. I do currently run Whispercore on a Nexus S though, but that was one click rooting from the installer and I don't touch it. As long as I can power down at a stop, UFED is spinning in the wind with WhisperCore. I want the same functionality from Jelly bean, but am unfamiliar with exactly how it works compared to Moxie's solution. I know that USB Debugging Enabled is an exploitable hole that devices like UFED use, that's why I wanted to know if I can disable all the developer options again, after rooting, with no ill effect.

I also block Android GPS Daemon from communicating, with Whisper Monitor, so hopefully Jelly Bean will have some firewalls able to do this soon.

Thanks for your reply,

RF
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
You should be alright with malware as long as you're careful what applications and ROMS you're downloading and from where.
[Nexus 7 General] redmonke255:
Yes after rooting you can turn it off. (In fact you can turn off developer options completely, and install apps from unknown sources is labeled under security). Only thing you won't be able to do is side load apps or use like titanium backup to restore apps.
[Nexus 7 General] mateorod:
I thought whispercore got purchased (by twitter, I think? Maybe?) and is only available for the nexus s. Maybe you plan to sideload it? I haven't personally found a way to try it yet.

But yeah, you can shut off adb mounting. I have actually spent a good chunk of my day looking into how to require a passcode for USB mounting in the kernel, for an unrelated project.

I haven't determined whether the multiuser claims are sufficient. I have muktiuser through botbrew, but that is a little more complicated than what I need there.
[Nexus 7 General] Ronaldo Forenucci:
You are correct, I have a Nexus S also, running WhisperCore. The N7 will have to run Google's built in implementation of encryption. Thanks for all the replies. I'll Unlock & Root, and then disable Developer Options again. In the 'off state' Google's encryption should protect from UFED type attacks. I'll probably install Avast! (if it runs on the N7) for malware protection.

RF
[Nexus 7 General] R1ptide:
Yeah from my understanding of UFED your pretty well protected as long as you don't have USB debugging on; so while not ideal, only turning it on when you need it would be the easiest way to secure the device. (along with all the normal stuff like having an actual password etc)

Considering how much apple fanboys tout the iphone's security, its fairly ironic that UFED can still pull some of their info regardless of settings whereas on android if USB debugging is off and a password is used UFED is useless.
[Nexus 7 General] Ronaldo Forenucci:
I know, right :good: Is max password length still 16 characters? It is on Gingerbread. I wish this thing had a USB slot...I'd love to be able to use my Yubikey with it. I wonder if the NFC Yubikey version would work on the Lock Screen?

RF
[Defy General] bone101:
For me the best way is to use multiboot : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364659

Install new rom

test it

set it up

Make a Backup with your Recovery System like : TWRP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585927

or CWM Recovery (App in Playstore) of

Nand/Real and second or third or ... system and now you can use all yourroms as your real system.

But don`t forget : every rom have to use the same kernel

Cheers an Thanks for Jelly Bean ( CM10 ) for my dead defy - but i get a new one

gud luck with the project :)
[Android Software Development] thomas15v:
Has nobody problems with the program? There are 16 dowloads on the day i released it here on XDA. (The other day's i can not see).

Anyway i have a question. How can i detect with a adb command of the device is rooted or busybox is installed. Problem is i have only a "X10 pro mini" with CM7. And can not try to install busybox because it is already pre-installed. Otherwise in the programfolder you have a script folder (for adb shell). If somebody has a script that install busybox, I would be very happy that someone can share that with me :).
[Android Software Development] Ticklefish:
I'm on the move so I can't give you a full answer yet. But one option to see if Busybox is installed is to try to pull it. If you can't, then it's not there.

The one thing keeping me on a sense rom at present is the lack of a camera app that is anywhere near the HTC stock One.

Really want to make the switch to jellybean and was looking for a few suggestions. Ucam seemed good until I realised you can't stop it beeping and it doesn't use the stock gallery. I have purchased camera360 in the past as well as camera fx but none of the seem quite as easy or fast. By the way I'm fully aware sense cam can't work on aosp.

Currently running CM 10 preview with JB and also missing the camera app. :(

Camera Magic - not that good

Not OEM. Poor fitment. Cracked already and had imperfections.

Cool story bro, I have been buying parts from ebay for almost 10 years & never had an issue.

Anyone that says one thing PM and another on the add is suspect and should not have been given business. Period.

Maybe the shopper should do more research 1st next time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
There is a company in China that goes by the name "OEM".

So the eBay sellers often use that MFG to sell products, pretending to be true "OEM" products.

Very confusing and eBay should put a halt to this practice.

Really needs to be a craigslist type of system where users can "flag" this or other types of auctions.

I hit my 10 year anniversary couple months back and it was never an issue for myself until recently. Way too many things from China. I've learned to just not buy anything from China anymore.

Thank you for your assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Keep denying it. Although you make absolutely no sense as to why you wouldn't want Jb. You can install flash and use it just the same. Also since you are upgrading its not going to magically disappear from your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
From what I understand OTA Updates come in cycles and have deployment dates. I don't know if that is different between different carriers, phones, or OS levels, but there was a Gingerbread update on my other phone that is no longer available OTA. So it's possible, I guess, that eventually you may not be able to get it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Nope. Some phones may stop prompting you tho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Actually, I just remembered that if you flash a custom Recovery that's one way of ensuring you won't be upgraded to JB automatically as that process requires a stock recovery.
