If you can downgrade to ICS you could potentially get root back using the debugfs method. Then you can upgrade again and rescue your root with voodoo ota root keeper, but I had to wipe data after the jb upgrade, and that broke root for good, for now.

Yes, you can root JB.

I just bought my Tab, upgraded to JB right away then performed below steps:

1) Used the ASUS unlocker to unlock the device, make sure you have internet connection otherwise it will not work.

2) Follow 3rd part in below thread to root JB:

So has anyone downgraded to ICS. I'm having too many weird issues after the JB update and I'm not liking the loss of certain functions in some of my apps. Specifically in games and my videos, had to dl a new media player to watch movies. Not the biggest of deals, but it's still aggravating knowing that certain things don't work when they did in ICS.

Has anyone successfully downgraded? I unlocked with the unlock tool and rooted, but no recovery, wondering if attempting to manually run the .30 dl will cause issues since it says "※Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version" on the ASUS site, not really sure if that means I can't downgrade at all or just telling me a SKU conversion isn't possible.

Hey guys,

same here. my tf201 is much slower with JB and i have some weird graphic-issues.

so i tried to downgrade to ICS(with no success)with the following methods:

"manual downgrade just like manual update"

- Downloaded .28 US-SKU from Asus support website

- unzipped the launcher.zip once, placed the extracted zip to the root of a MicroSD-Card

- plugged in MicroSDCard

- Notification popped up "System update found, tab to start update"

- hit notification, prompt says: "you are going to downgrade to an older version, are you sure?"

- hit yes

- device reboots

- looks like its updating for 5-10min

- device booted again - but booted JB again

tried this multiple times, even with zip on internal storage - always the same...looks like its downgrading, then boots JB again

i also tried to extract the zip again, place the blob on my device and downgrade using this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887

with no success, during reboot its prompts "signature fail" or something, then boots JB again

I wanted to downgrade with the aim to make a real clean and solid system with the steps 1wayjonny provided here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32113041&postcount=259

unfortunatly no luck atm...

weird thing is: after i updated to JB firsttime, i was able to downgrade to .28 again...was sneaking arround and then updated again.

think i made no reboot after the first update, or something went wrong like at some other users devices (device is saying update successfull, but it wasnt)..

does anybody tried these methods, too? maybe with success? what steps did you change?

I can't test it in my tablet, because I'm not home. But when I get there I will test the app myself. You could try using the native Ubuntu from development section. Its kernel can dual boot ICS test 4.0.4.

Remember that /mnt/sdcard is externalsd and /sdcard/ is internal memory.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] trevd:
C'mon folks, It's all there for you in the error message!

It breaks down like this ; dirname is a program the tells you the directory name of an executable file location, well in reality it probably just trims the value pass in looking the last / the print everything before that i.e calling

dirname /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh

will give an out put of

/data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files

this is normally part of busybox. Is suspect however that whatever busybox binary it's attempting to use does has not been configured to include dirname or at the very least the symlink hasn't been created so it would need to be called with a busybox prefix , i.e

export imgfile=$([B]busybox dirname[/B] $0)/ubuntu.img

or just save the f*****g about and hardcore imgfile to the path of the image file, for example

export imgfile=/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img

or wherever you're ubuntu.img is located, should be that simple, If you run into further trouble post the full content of the /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh shell script. I suppose someone could tell the dev to add some sanity checking to his scripts if alot of people are running into this problem!

I used a blue theme from here and it did everything for me. It is for diet ICS but I used it over kyan to get the brightness slider and 15 toggle mod and worked fine. Should work even better over diet ICS. Just download the blue theme you want, place it at root of your sd card. go to CWM wipe cache, dalvik, flash!

Hi,

I purchased a new HTC One X from France (I have a friend there), and it came in french and with some apps of SFR (a french cellular company).

I want an official ROM of HTC but without all those apps, and with Hebrew support.

I saw this page with stock ROMs, but how do I know which one is suitable for me?

And can I install a stock ROM that did not come originally with my phone?

I am new to Android and smartphones in general, so please be patient with me (I'm a quick learner though).

Thank you.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Download cidgetter from the play store, that app will let you know your cid. My hox is unbranded with cid 401.

When you know your cid go to the page with the ruus and look for one with your cid in the version number.

Remember though you can only use a ruu with same or higher version number

You can't change region or carrier unless you have an s-off hox
[HTC One X] LionGod8:
OK, my CID is VODAP203. What does it mean?

And what is s-off hox, and how do I get that?

(Simply, all I want to do is to reset my phone to factory's settings but like a not-branded one and with Hebrew support, as if I bought the phone from my country).

Thanks in advance.

ps: is there any detailed guide which explain all those terms and how to install a new ROM and all this stuff...?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Go to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23542734

Tell them your cid and some 1 should be able to guide you to the relevent ruu for your cid, that will get you back to stock factory settings.

You can't change cid unless you are lucky enough to have a s-off hox (s-off = security-off) so your best bet if your not bothered about warranty is flashing a custom Rom with all the bloat removed.

[HTC One X] bogfather:
You can't until we gain s-off, that's why if you want rid of all the bloat ware on your phone you will have to go custom rom or root and uninstall the bloatware yourself
[HTC One X] requiem11:
I'm going to assume the lest complicated situation, you have a regular HTC One X that is S-ON, but that you've managed to unlock your bootloader and root your phone. From browsing around it seems like the most standard starting point.

I think you are right; it's a little weird that you can only use the RUU (what HTC provides as a stock / factory ROM) from where the phone was intended to be used. I guess this makes some sense: you can manufacture custom configurations of the phone per clients markets (i.e. US Telcos may want two types, a delux version and a stripped down cheaper version) so HTC makes sure to configure the phones differently. If you have different phones, then you need to ensure each works as it should out of the box, so two different ROMs might be required where each stock ROM is optimized for use with the phone configuration as dictated by the CID (does CID - configuration identifier??). So for most of us, the RUU that's available to us is strictly determined by the phone CID.

So why not create a super RUU that is so awesome that it could determine what the physical and software configuration of the phone is and permit only the compatible features? Are HTC developers too lazy?? Maybe, I don't know, I'm not a developer. So enter the custom ROM. A kind of super RUU IMHO that allows for more customization based on the talents of the developer(s) who often design these things for free, on their own time, and although not obligated one bit to support or update them, do so anyway.

So there you have it, you are stuck with the RUU that is compatible only with your CID, or you can research the various custom ROMs that exist and try them out.

Good luck and have fun with it.

Just wondering what everyone's favorite is by a pole vote. We would like to know which version you will most likely be using after JB Source comes out.

Please use the following format when you reply. KEEP the count rolling by adding the next number instead of the last post and put a star in front of your pick so it is indicated that is your pick. I will update the pole in this post if it is easily countable. So the next count by rovar should be 0 GB, 1 ICS, *1JB and the next if GB would be *1 GB, 1 ICS, 1 JB

Pole tally:

0 for Gingerbread

*1 for Ice Cream Sandwich

0 for Jelly Bean

Your Reason: I like having flash support. Until JB comes out with it or a DEV makes a ROM with Flash (if possible). I could change my mind though if Butter is really Better flash really isn't required- BUT currently I don't use Chrome but I like it. GB is great too but I like the pull down on ICS way better.

Your Version picks Pro's: ROM I am using is very good for work and play.

Your Version picks Con's: When I get a phone call- if I have other Apps open the phone really lags.

Please be respectful of others opinions. I am posting this so we can all see what others think and maybe to learn about stuff we didn't know or just nod our heads and go "yep".

I'm running the latest nightly release of CM-10, which is running super smooth by the way, and just flashed Imoseyon's lean kernel v 0.7. Everything seems ok, and now I have the option to go up to a max of 1.9 GHz in the processor settings under performance, however I noticed some of the "stock" CM-10 governor profiles dissapeared, among others "Power Save", is there anyway for me to get all those governor presets back while retaining the ability to OC? Because if I just restore the CM-10 kernel, then I'll be limited to a max frequency of 1.512 GHz, so I was trying to keep options from both. Could the lean kernel be updated by Imo to support those settings?

Thanks for any suggestions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
It can be updated. The governors are all part of the kernel which is why they changed.

We're still in such early stages of Kernel development for the GSIII. Give Imo some time to make the kernel rock solid and stable and maybe he'll start adding features...maybe not though, he says it's a "lean" kernel.
