Done RECOVERY_for_XperiaIon_v.4, now to know weather its 100% injected or not ? how can i get into recovery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
To get into the original recovery from this thread, you repeatedly tap on Sony or the home button at start up, when Sony shows on screen.

its there thanks man...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Marsou77:
Yes I forgot to mention that : locked bootloader :p

Since it's possible to have CWM on locked bootloader, it will be possible to have an updated version, no ?

Thank you for your answer :)

And if you can explain me how recovery works in our Ion, because in my old P990 LG, it was easier to flash and have a lot of recovery !

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ZeroSigea:
Hello all.

First off, thanks for the CWM recovery for this phone, guys.

Second, I made some adjustments to the recovery script (the one that runs at boot on the phone) to better suit my needs/wants.

Changes:

- The trigger to get into recovery is now Volume Down (/dev/event3) instead of the touchscreen (/dev/event2).

- The script now displays its state through the notification LED. It lights up purple (supposed to be white) when ready to be triggered, green when booting normally to Android, and blue when booting to recovery. The green light is only lit for a second though to prevent conflicts/confusion, as the stock Sony build does not reset the LEDs on boot. The blue light in recovery mode stays on until reboot.

- The trigger window is shrunk from 3 seconds to 1 second.

Usage/Installation:

Download attached zip and replace the chargemon in the "files" folder of the recovery installer with the "chargemon" in this zip, or push chargemon manually to the phone.

I have a rooted B70, I bought it in October and it worked fine since then. But the other night I plugged it in to charge it and it will not recognize they charger, hence wont charge. I had my friend try both my cord and my wall charger on his and it worked on his. I know I have a year warranty, but does rooting void the warranty? If it does, is there a stock rom I can flash? Has anyone else had this problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hustleanything:
Yes root voids warranty.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoinTheRealms:
You can just unroot and your warranty is valid again
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milleirish:
The problem is the damn thing will not recognize anything! I plug the cord into the computer and nothing!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WCL1990:
Is USB Debugging still enabled? Turn that off if yes and see if it works again since it's only meant to be used for debugging and not file transfers hence the name "Debugging"

As far as rooting goes as others have said yes it voids your warranty but if your device is still working after you rooted it one could either play dumb or argue it wasn't your fault and depending on your device there methods to restore it back to factory defaults it's difficult to truly brick your device but of course that depends on what device and model
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milleirish:
I managed to get it reverted back to stock, I had to keep the cord pressed into the tablet to get it to work. I will back calling Asus tomorrow since its still with in a year since i bought it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darksurf:
This probably sounds like a total noob question, but its legit. I've become very comfortable with the Linux File Structure over the years as they are self explanatory.

/home - where home folders to users exist.

/root - OK, Don't know why it wasn't put in home, but understandable to what it is

/etc - config files go here

/lib - library files go here

/sbin - superuser binaries/executables go here.

/bin - binaries/executables

/usr - user shared files

/var - variable files such as logs?

I'm sure we get the gist of it, but why did android not keep this structure? Does android's structure better suite it? To me it just seems like crap is lying everywhere with barely any forethought as to where it should be placed. Could someone explain the file structure to me?

Android wannabe dev,

Darksurf
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I don't think there is so much difference if you have a better look at it. Most of it is just in /system, for the same reason (one of them, actually) you were wondering why /root isn't in /home under Linux - you can have different partitions at these paths (security, storage/quota management, etc.). And as there are no user accounts, there is no need for /home.

Plus, there is need for more modules that are loaded and unloaded, there's different apps cache management under Android, these things have to be in separate places.

Having said that, I sometimes miss simple /var/log/ stuff and things like that by default too (you forgot /dev, btw). I would like the /system partition to be more Linux-like in case of directories, but I like how /data and /sdcard are handled, it's pretty clear and easy to manage.

IMHO the main difference is the division into /system and /data (+ /sdcard or other removables mount points in the case of the Infinity), which, as you've probably noticed, has its very practical purposes and have to be clearly distinguished, especially on a non-rooted device, where the permissions are clearly set (but comes helpful when rooted, so you won't mess up too much by a missclick ;>).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ablack01:
Hi everyone,

Flashed to cm9 last night but before that i was running cm7.2. Everything's doing fine but this happened when i flashed to cm7.2:

My unit is the i9000 with 8GB on internal storage. So this is where apps are usually installed unless i move them to the sd card right? The problem was when i flashed to cm7.2 it shows that out of the avaialble 6GB of internal storage, only around 1.8GB was available..

what could've eaten so much space? is there something wrong with the partitioning?

appreciate the help everyone. cheers!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gargamel1:
I'm tempted to jump on the razr $0.01 deal on amazon, but do any of you think I should wait till the HD ones come out? Do you think the maxx will go on the $0.01 deal? Oh and how is rooting on this phone. I'm coming from an og incredible and the development teams have been pretty amazing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bond32:
I'm betting (hoping) the HD will blow everyone away. I need to get up to speed on it but it sounds like an amazing phone. Would mainly like to see an improved display and battery from the RAZR.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
I don't get it. A better screen on a phone with an already great display, better battery life on something I can go a day and half w/o charging, and a 13mp camera on a cell phone? All but the last feature may be nice, but I don't think I'd jump on a new device for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
The display will be better but the battery will not. The MAXX runs about 3200 mAh and the OG RAZR runs about 1700mAh (my numbers may be off but they're close). The Vanquish/Hd will have about 2600 mAh, better than the OG but the MAXX will still have the best battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gargamel1:
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I'm jumping from an htc incredible og to a new phone. My apologies. My biggest concern right now is putting together a pros and cons list of og razr (meaning not maxx) and galaxy nexus.

Oh and wondering if i should wait for the maxx hd to come to see the prices of the og maxx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
I moved from an OG Dinc as well. I actually had to fire it up and activate it for a day over the weekend...kinda missed it. If you can hold off, it may be worth it, but I don't think ti would be worth it if the current razr's were .01. Nicer screen? Yay, but meh. Higher res camera? Whatever. Cell camera sensors are so small that upping the mp count is nothing more than a marketing trick that takes up more space in your memory.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
It won't have a 13MP camera, the news now is that it will only have an 8MP camera and a nicer screen, that's all. The battery still wont be as good as the MAXX...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aminsa:
Hi,

Which of the custom ROM do you find better than stock ROM, based on your own experience. What I'm missing by using stock ROM ? you think
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaGeek:
I guess the answer is, it depends like everything else. Custom ROMs come in a great variety, AOSP, AOKP, TW, hybrid ones like Paranoid. Just flash and try:)

Personally I like TW. I tried Criskelo and Kingdroid, also tried paranoid(non TW). I liked Kingdroid the best. It has the newer version of TW(as opposed to the stock ROM), somewhat better battery life, more fluid IMHO, better performance overall.

ROMs are more like, to each their own. Try it, you have nothing to lose. I tried a few over a weekend, and settled on one that I dont change often because of lack of time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BleedingIris:
I agree..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keehweeh:
I agree, too.

Just one more suggestion as this could help you determine faster if the rom does what you need/want:

Root your phone and use a backup software (titanium or backup root, for example), saves you time ;)

If you do this already nevermind ;)

But to answer your question directly: most of the roms focus on smothness and stability, others implement whole new features (in paranoid rom you can choose for every app if you want the tablet or phone version) or make it easier to tweak your system (liquidsmooth would be my example for this). Also, there are several JellyBean ROMs which only miss a few features so you are always up to date and don't have to wait for Samsung's infamous touchwiz-"magic" to be applied...

And it actually teaches you a thing or two about Android and the development for it (at least it did for me ;))

Hope I could help :)

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
i think my battery drains too fast but i'm not really sure, i want to test my battery life so i checked how asus tested battery life

(They claim the battery 10 hours without dock)

but i'm not sure what does "60 nits" mean? i heard the tf300 "has" 350 nits, so 60/350= around 17%. but if you set your brightness to 17% you can't really see anything. so i get confused.

and it's funny that's they tested the battery under power saving mode, "default volume" with headphones, i mean it sounds like they want to save the battery power as much as possible and to give us the number 10 hours. what if they tested in balanced mode (which is the default mode) with speaker not headphones? and again, i don't know how many % are 60 nits?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcall_r:
I agree, I find that mine only lasts about 5-6 hours, about 8-9 with the keyboard dock on.

I mainly use mine for web browsing with brightness about 25% and power option set to balanced.

Does browsing use more than playing 720p video then?

Either way, it always manages to last a day away from the home so I've never had it run flat.. can't really grumble I suppose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] taufunc:
Stock FF18 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with deodexed silenced Camera.

This ROM will not give you root permissions, it simply integrates the deodexed silent camera application into stock FF18.

Tested to work, unless you somehow break the connection when writing factoryfs.img to NAND.

Prerequisites: Samsung USB/Android drivers (here)

1) Get ODIN v1.85 (here).

2) Get the ROM from the following post.

3) Uncheck F. Reset Time, only 'PDA' and 'Auto Reboot' should be checked.

4) Turn your E4GT off, make sure the phone is connected to the computer through USB. Go into 'ODIN mode' through "Volume Down + Power" buttons.

5) If you see a yellow triangle on the E4GT screen, select 'Continue'.

6) Click the 'Start' button in ODIN when you see the phone recognized in the ID:COM field (ie COMXX where XX is a number)..

NOTE: Do not disconnect the USB Cable when using ODIN to write the ROM to the E4GT.

7) Wait for ODIN v1.85 to say:

Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

8) The E4GT should reboot automatically because of the 'Auto Reboot' flag from before. You may disconnect the USB cable if you'd like.

If you want to update FF18 to a future build, flash sfhub's [ODIN] FF18 ROM without ROOT because that is the same as the OTA update (here).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
Thanks, taufunc! This is very nice, but is there anyway that we can just get this odexed for sfhub stock FF18 image? I have already odined the stock FF18 rooted one, but the only difference in this one is the camera. I would hate to re-odin just to silence my camera. crawj was able to odex the hotspot hack to sfhub's stock FF18 image- anyway we can do that? Or, anyway we can just create a flashable camera silence package for FF18 stock?

-Grand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] taufunc:
Regarding the odexed application, I would need to test for forced crashes before I integrate it into the ROM and uploading (300MB compressed/ 500MB standalone). Odexed applications are kernel specific, so make sure to ODIN the OTA update if you wish update later.

However, if you want to use both his hotspot hack and the silent camera application, that is a different case. Its one or the other with ODIN as it will simply overwrite the /system/ directory with that specific ROM.

If your current E4GT has root privileges, then you may connect your USB adapter and do the following:

Prerequisites:

Enable USB Debugging Mode by going to Settings>>Developer Mode>>Check 'USB debugging'.

ADB w/ E4GT Android Drivers (here)

[MD5: 58b9094400895ca8320963fb4d4a520d]

Get the following:

Stock FF18 odexed silent Camera.apk (here)

[MD5: 716be9c8377f2772346fdd62cdb6ef6b]

Silent Camera sounds (here).

[MD5: 5f208003f3ee8b35c103954e90e3cbfd]

Now, extract those files to the main directory of your E4GT (folders in this directory include DCIM, Android, etc).

The contents of these compressed files are: Camera.apk and a folder named 'silence'. Do not rename anything!

1 - Install 'ADB w/ E4GT Android Drivers' (adb_standalone.exe).

2 - Command Prompt should automatically popup in the 'C:\adb\' directory'.

3 - Install Android Samsung USB Drivers:

C:\adb>_
C:\adb>Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe

4 - Start adb.

C:\adb>_
C:\adb>adb shell

5 - Use the following commands to copy the new files to the E4GT.

su
mount -o remount,rw /system /system
cp -r /mnt/sdcard/silence/* /system/media/audio/ui
mv /system/app/Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk.bak
cp /mnt/sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk
exit
exit

9 - Restart your E4GT and start using your silent Camera application.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NGL_BrSH:
The question: Can I root a phone to try apps without affecting my updated ICS fix from sprint and without changing how my phone looks and feels?

My assumption: When I root it uses a ROM that someone "hacked" and it overwrites my updated ICS update.

The facts: I got the original ICS roll-out from sprint and very recently also the "fix" update to ICS from OTA. I have never rooted a phone and I'm thinking about it because my battery life has gone to hell, and my signal strength is a mess.

I'd also like to get mass storage options back to get compatibility with a usb head unit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
So, you got the original roll out to Ics, then you got a second update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NGL_BrSH:
That is correct. The second update was about a week ago or so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I was waiting to see of anyone else was going to respond but since I'm going to call it a night, I'll throw my 2 cents in, then I'll wait for my change..

I had to ask about the "second" update since the only thing i know is this- The original roll out was paused, then when it started up again, small fixes were noticed. One being the Swype issue. Not big changes according to some.

So to answer your question about rooting to try apps, just use sfhubs one click for ff18. Clear the cache on Swype after that. Then try your apps..

I'd suggest reading up on backing up your data, etc, so when you notice that stock battery life, look and feel and all of that isn't different, and you want to go back, you can.

Or just save all of that trouble and root and flash the stock tweaked ics rom, with a custom kernal, and enjoy a stock, rooted, long lasting daily experience..
