[HTC One X] brucezepplin:
Hi, I am trying to install cyanogenmod 9 on my HTC One x. so far I am stuck in aboot loop after flashing the ROM onto my phone. I realised this may be because I have not yet sent the ROM zip file onto my internal sd card. This is confirmed when in clockwork recovery, I choose zip file form SD card but there are no files found. My question is, how to I drop the ROM file from my pc onto my phone using an usb cable? Is this even possible while I don't have a ROM installed on my phone (thus being unable to use HTC sync)?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
You can mount your SD-card in CWM. Just enter mounts and storage and select usb storage.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Yes, but you do need the latest version. 5.8.4.0
[HTC One X] brucezepplin:
when I select "mount USB storage" I get an error message saying:

E: unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

I am using the latest version of CWM.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I'd be looking to flash the RUU for your phone to at least get it working again and then start from the beginning
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
Are you sure? Because you get that error if you are using a old version. Which version number are you on if you enter CWM?
[HTC One X] B3r3av3d:
If I recall correctly I got that error once with the newest version, too, but when I looked for the HTC storage on my computer it was there. Do you use Windows?

I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but my search over the last hour has turned up nothing. I've been thru countless threads here, and also searched Google to the point of frustration. The only thing I was able to find, was GingerBreak, but it only works for 2.2 and older. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You have to have a computer to unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery. No way around it to my knowledge. After that is accomplished, you can pretty much do everything else from the phone.
[HTC Rezound] arieshane:
That's what I was beginning to figure the general consensus was. Thanks for the confirmation though. Much appreciated.

I have a Motorola Razr Maxx that is running ICS and has been rooted. Is it possible to get Google Now working? I don't have ClockWorkMod Recovery on my phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] otto888:
It's possible. Just flash a ICS ROM, gapps and then a Google Now for ICS package. Now is working perfectly on AOKP.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Johnny Dollar:
Thanks. For me the follow up questions are whether all ICS ROMs will work and what recovery program should I use on the Razr Maxx. For my Incredible, I used CWM recovery, but I don't think that that program will work on the Maxx.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] condork464:
Ok, I've gotten the pure stock ICS and installed it. Now, something I have noticed is that no matter what I do, I can never get all of the files in my phones directory be completely stock. There are some that files left over from applications and such. I would just go "willy nilly" deleting everything i thought didn't belong in there except that the last time I did that I hard bricked my Captivate. I love my Note and don't want to hurt it!!! Any advice or screen shots of a truly stock file setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
I dont understand your question or post. You want to keep your ICS completely Stock? Wouldn't be completely Stock if dont install any apps?

Or you referring to removing all the bloatware? Then you need to be Rooted, and then use a non stock app>Tibu to remove your bloatware?

But to be rooted there are measures to take to get Rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] condork464:
clarification

what i am asking is when you go to applications then my files what does stock setup look like. i install and uninstall so much crap all the time and everything seems to leave folders and files behind. From time to time i'd like to just clear everything thing out that i don't need. In order to do that safely, however, i have to know what i DO need so i don't brick another phone. thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
the best way to remove the unwanted items on the internal SD, is to format the emmc in recovery (CWM)

this will "wipe" the internal space of the device, and repopulate only the specific device information pertaining to the rom on reboot.

but i caution you.......(please read this) !!

Although the risk is low, you can possibly delete items that you should not have. I.E.

data that you should back up prior to removal. photo's, documents, data from specific system apps etc.

But i've done this at least a dozen times since owning my note, as it strips all garbage left over from previous roms etc.

Again, you do this at your own risk, and i assume no liability from "your" choice to wipe the emmc partition, or any other partition on your device.

long story short, format emmc from recovery, and your internal storage will be "empty" as in nothing left. then on reboot, the device rom will re-populate the bare minimum file structure to run. So back up anything/everything you want to keep, and place it on PC...then it can be moved back if needed.

Now i dont know your skill level, or your root status etc. so if you are not rooted yet...see the "note everything" thread at the top of the general section. It is the best guide i've ever seen. and it will guide you through any process you want to use. with the exception of the one i just gave you...LOL

this method is no joke...and you "must" be sure that you understand what you are doing, and how to recover the device if something goes wrong.

good luck, and be careful !!!....g

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
I would just like to know how to avoid bricking at all costs and what a custom kernal has to offer.

What is a "safe kernal"? why is the stock kernal so bad?

I've seen some ROMs I like and want to get started soon but read that the SGS2 can be hard-bricked.

After reading this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756242

It states "DO NOT flash any stock 4.0.4 firmware" and then says stay away from OFFICIAL 4.0.4 firmware, can I ask why is this?

As I'm also new to rooting, so what are the advantages of overclocking the CPU? (apart from the obvious) Surely it's at default for a reason, if Samsung could improve the CPU performance without risks surely they would?

Thanks y'all

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
What does having a custom kernal offer?

Not a life story, more of an introduction. I do hope your "life story" can't be written in a few sentences

Maybe I didn't phrase the topic all that well and reading it back now I am basically asking what the best ROM is but that wasn't really my intention. I've read the stickied threads in this section and the beginning video (which was pretty funny)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
4.0.4 is leaked and it's stock kernels have eMMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, then using temporary CWM is extremally dangerous.

Custom kernels are offering overclock/underclock CPU, GPU, many tweaks which improve speed and battery life, it has ClockworkMod recovery[...] and they're meant to work with all ROMs (stock Samsung, AOSP, AOKP).

Stock Samsung kernels aren't offering those.

Safe kernel is kernel which has emmc hardbrick bug disabled.

And most important. If you're new to rooting, just read guides, read kernels threads and their features, and you will find the best for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
not completely true.. there are many official 4.0.4 ROMs although they have one thing in common with the 1st leaked version.. eMMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled on all of them.

Can I root my S2 on GingerBread and install a rom that's on Jelly Bean? I've been having a look through some ROMs and I like the SuperNexus one
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
The answer to all your questions is in my signature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Better flash stock ICS before.

Then flash Siyah kernel, in recovery mode flash SuperNexus and after that flash Siyah again, because most ROMs packages are overwrtting kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
zzzzzz

Go search my question, no accurate results.

@przemico510, I've heard ICS on the S2 drains the battery like crazy I want to try and avoid that, is it my only option?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Hi

You won't go to far wrong if you read the installation guide and FAQs from your chosen rom thread. Also other users of that rom will have shared there experiences with various kernels regarding battery life and what tweeks and mods improve or worsen their experience. That's probably going to answer your questions quicker than asking them here. Also please back up your EFS folder once root access is gained. All the best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
I've read that there's a few methods of sorting the battery out by either leaving the phone a week or so and it will gradually get better, draining and re-charging, hard factory reset etc

So I'm going to upgrade to ICS, root the phone, install needed apps like CWM, flash the SuperNexus ROM and then flash the SiyahKernal

Thanks for all the replys guys, can't wait to get started and fiddling around with all the different things. (I don't have the phone in my possession yet, sadly)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
When you get the phone please check which variant of the sgs2 you have. If you you use the wrong software on the wrong phone the results are often terminal.

"As I'm also new to rooting, so what are the advantages of overclocking the CPU? (apart from the obvious) Surely it's at default for a reason, if Samsung could improve the CPU performance without risks surely they would?"

The advantages of overclocking is the obvious statement! Every CPU is clocked higher in manufacturing its just easier and safer to clock them lower. There is risks of overclocking, those risks are the obvious 1's too. You do not need to overclock your CPU in the Galaxy S2 (my opinion). Just use a custom Rom and Kernel. You will notice how responsive, smoother and faster in every way compared too stock it is.

Most people seem to be gone to Jelly Bean 4.1 so maybe have a look at those Roms.

Do you mean the i9100 and the i9100G?

or firmware/baseband?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Yes phone model versions I9100, I9100G etc. There are several versions each have there own ROMs which should not be mixed up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
Are all the versions of the phone the same? I see international version and sprint etc come up often.

I am from the the UK and am on none of the carriers stated on this site, although the phone I have is factory unlocked so I don't know where I stand

Also, I've read that if my phone is on a custom rom + kernal that I cannot go back to stock if I don't have a proper backup of my old stock rom/kernal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
No they are not the same hence the different letters in the model numbers. One has a NFC chip (near field communication) others have different hardware inside the phone. My knowledge is limited in this respect. Best wait til you get the phone and lift the battery to confirm your version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
Is there certain models that cannot be rooted or ones that won't support the custom ROMs on this site? I don't want to buy the phone and see that I can't do anything with it. I'm trying to find one with no scratches on the screen for £200 which is a good price, iPhone 4s sell for similar price and in most peoples eyes the iPhone 4 is better then the SGS2 (tut tut)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
In this thread there is support for the I9100G, I don't know about the others. If you're buying 2nd hand from the UK chances are you will get the I9100, but check before buying as I'm sure other versions would have been imported from abroad.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ares05:
There might be a few S2s which are locked to a carrier and might not be root- able. But I'm not sure about this. Just search for an international version that wasn't previously locked to any carrier. A plain jane GT-I9100 :p

Hi, I just got my Sensation back from the repair (new touchscreen), and now when I unlock the keyboard, it doesn't respond for 4-5 seconds, looks like the phone lags, but the other animations (like the jumping circle on the bottom) plays fine. The same issue, when I try to make a phone call, the screen is not responding to any touch while calling, I can't end a call. (The four buttons on the bottom of the phone aren't working too.) I just updated my phone to ViperS 1.1.0, I hoped that the new rom and the wipe will help, but it didn't. The ROM before (and when the accident happened) was the latest OrDroid.

Do you have any idea how to fix it? In other situations, the touchscreen works perfectly.

Hi,

Amlogic M3 cpu are cable to 1GHZ

The old firmwares for JXD devices has the amlogic CPU frequency set to 600MHZ.

The solution was easy, hex editing a9_clk estructure was possble overclock to 1GHZ.

But in the new firmwares for android ICS is not possible overclock, if hex edit the firmware setcpu marks 1GHZ but performance are only 800MHZ.

I search in the leaked source code but I dont found the limitation of 800MHZ.

Any help?
[Android General] naxeras:
Any with amlogic CPU?

The limitation is in the kernel, I have source code of the kernel but i not found where is the limitation to 800MHZ.
[Android General] c.martinez.lozano:
See on arch/arm/mach-meson3 directory.

Maybe exists an clock.c file that has the limitation.

On M1 kernel is at https://github.com/CML/amlogic_m1_kernel/blob/ICS/kernel/arch/arm/mach-meson/clock.c (tested on b10ref and a00ref "up from 800mhx to 1ghz")

On M3 kernel maybe is at https://github.com/madmaze/Meson-3-Kernel/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-meson3/clock.c

Because is similar architecture.

¿Where is your tablet model/manufacturer?

Regards
[Android General] naxeras:
Yes, in meson M3, have a clock.c, but I edit static struct clk a9_clk, in the max value to 1000000, but the limitation continues to 800000.

When I edit a9_clk in the sorce code or, with HEX edit, Set CPU says are 1GHZ but performance is 800MHZ, even I have another kernels without source code, with 600MHZ limitation.

Even I use openamlogic messon 3 clock.c in the JXD source code, but the limitation continues.

For try I edit max value to 1400000 but performace are same.

Manufacturer are JXD model s5110.
