Figured I was going to get **** for this, but thanks for the replies, guess we all cannot be uber android giniuses.. Google searches for some reason did not come up with results from xda. I did know I needed a workaround for boot 1.15 and 1.19, my probl em was with the ROM file itself... for some reason it would not install, even though it all seemed to be there. I re downloaded and tried 3 times, each gave me multiple errors accessing directories. The 4th worked and all is good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
the problem is that it doesnt take a genius, these threads are popping up like crazy even by people who have rooted other devices but the problem is that all these devices are different, even the same make/model will not produce the same results across multiple devices, people just need to take the time to sit down and learn the basics for android customization, one guy had s-off and decided to fastboot the kernel, somehow he managed to obliterate his recovery as well, another guy kept trying lazy panda to s-off his hboot 1.15, there are some kind and helpful people on xda but this is ridiculous, ive even taken to pm'ing users as a way to lessen the threads popping up, if you take the time to read the guides posted then take extra time to read about the failures, they help the most, it sounds horrible to me but reading about their failure and seeing possible solutions will help you avoid them

[HTC Desire S] zipponap:
Hi, guys, first of all I'm an absolute noob so bear with me if I didn't found all the answer even after having searched through the forum.

My big question is about the re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002. I have a virginal Desire S, non s-off'ed and non rooted, HBOOT is the latest, that is 2.00.002. I want to load the latest official ICS rom from htc and, as I think I understood, HBOOT must be latest version, therefore non s-off since there is no way to s-off that version. But I also would like to just go to CM10 in the future.

Then I read about the re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002. This HBOOT should give me s-off and the ability to load the ruu rom. Only catch is that you should re-partition the phone. And that's when things get weird. Does I need to do the re-partitioning before installing the ruu ICS rom after installing the re-engineered HBOOT? If so, in order to install the ruu ICS rom, does I need to have any working rom on the phone, that is, does I need to do the nandroid backup to have back my ginger bread 2.3.5 before installing the ruu ics rom?

And going on, currently there is any way to root the phone while on ICS htc stock rom?

But most important of all, what this re-enginnered hboot really is? The revoked/revolutionary mod only works on hboot versions before the 2.xxxx. Is this re-engineered hboot a 2.00.002 official hboot that has been modified to be s-off or is it a previous hboot s-off'ed via revolution but with a different version number?

Thank you all,

Vincent.
[HTC Desire S] Kavrocks:
If I was you I would forget about the re-engineered HBOOT and just run the RUU and put ICS on your phone.

The re-engineered HBOOT is only for people who have S-Offed using the revolutionary method and have had trouble with the Android 4.0 Sense ROMs. You have absolutely no need to use it now.

If you want CM10 in the future then all you need to do is unlock your bootloader with htcdev, flash a new recovery (4EXT or CWM) and install CM10 from your custom recovery. You will be required to flash the boot.img file separately if you are S-On.
[HTC Desire S] zipponap:
Hi Kavrocks, thank for your prompt answer. I'll surely follow your advice, it's the easiest way and my first goal is to get an easy ICS on my phone. My only doubt is about being able to get to cm10 or whatever else since no rooting hack has already been developed for the new ICS rom.

Do you think HTC will push updates on the new ICS rom or, being it for developer only, it will be just stuck to its original state?
[HTC Desire S] Kavrocks:
Original.
[HTC Desire S] zipponap:
By what I understand, now that an official ICS ROM is out and thus binary drivers are available, we should expect a fully working non-original ROM in a short time. How much time do you think it will take for the CMx developer to integrate the binaries into the CMx ROM?
[HTC Desire S] esque:
Don't tell this my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.002, S-ON, unlocked with stock ICS and root ;)

Just do this:

- unlock your phone: www.htcdev.com

- Install stock ICS

- install a custom recovery using fastboot

- install superuser using custom recovery
[HTC Desire S] zipponap:
Ok, I've succesfully got ICS on my Desire, eventhough I had to do a 'fastboot oem lock' to get past a 155 error. Now, would you please be so kind to tell me the exact filename of the superuser exploit that you have applied on ICS? I'm asking this to you because I've tried the 3.1.3 on GB2.3.5 and it always hang on 'waiting root access right'.

Thank you.

Vincenzo.
[HTC Desire S] zipponap:
Ok, I'll answer to myself, use the CWM-SuperSU-v0.95.zip archive. It works with ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allexsava:
Hello!

First of all I've searched all the posts about this problem.. and personally I can't fix it.

So here is what I've done to brick my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (I think that's called a non-usable device).

Installed few ROMs and finally after taking some decisions :D I've returned back on ICS 4.0.3 (Flashed with ODIN 1.85).

Restored EFS with kTool (because ClearNotev5 did something wrong with my phone.. and discovered after few hours that I can restore EFS).

Updated ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 using WIFI (OTA I think it's called) and BANG after restart phone stucked at Bootscreen.

So from yesterday untill now I've restored my phone to factory settings few times(GB 2.3.5 & 2.3.6/ICS 4.0.4),repartitioned with .pit files for N7000 16GB,installed different custom/stock ROMs and nothing.

I've discovered few minutes ago while triyng to make a factory restore (GB 2.3.5) that my phone stucked at data.img... I've read about this and it is said that I must change my N7000 motherboard.. I have no warranty so please help.. and sorry for my bad english :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:

OTA Brick or Soft Brick?

I still haven't fix it but here is what I want:

Can someone give me different versions of GB (I've tried only one with CSC,MODEM but this now stops at data.img..) :crying:

I have to make a repartition to my phone? Will that help? :D

And can someone guide me through a tutorial step by step on how to revive my phone from EMMC Bug..?

PS: When I try to wipe data in CWM (using Hydracore Kernel v2.0b STD) with ICS 4.0.4 (Stock) my N7000 stucks,same for installing CleaNotev5.0 (stucks at Extracting\System).. But what is curios is that, I can clear Dalvik Cache and Cache, I can install Kernels and run N7000 in DOWNLOAD/CWM or stock Restore mode.

Any solutions?Please help..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
You can try the post here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667886&highlight=emmc

Just follow the step there.

I've experienced before, and revive it using this method. So far mine still work well, and no further error ever since.

You will loose certain GB on your internal storage. Which for me it's not a big deal. I'm kinda lazy to go to samsung repair center, unless my phone is totally dead.

Here is my step (follow at your own risk) :

1. You have to know first your N7000 is the 16GB or 32GB, and then you download the correct pit for your phone.

2. After you download, extract the zip file.

3. Since mine is the 16GB, I've picked this pit file to use (inside the zip) : Q1_20110914_16GB-patched-regain-0102400-kB.pit (the pit file will be vary depending on which sector your phone brick)

4. Put your phone on to download mode.

5. Open ODIN PC and connect your phone, and wait till ODIN say "Added" and you see that your phone has connected.

6. Put the patch pit file I choose, then put the samsung stock rom as the PDA (if you downloaded 1 file only for the stock ROM, if not, put properly for the PDA, Phone, and CSC).

7. Check ON the "repartition", "Auto-reboot", "F-reset time"

8. Click Start, and wait till the process has finished. Your phone should auto reboot by then.

9. My phone has recovered, and I lost 1GB internal storage. :)

One last thing, try not to do wipe on ICS, unless you are on a safe kernel like speedmod / GLNotecore.

For Hydracore (You may check with the developer), I haven't tested it yet for wiping. But for those speedmod and GLNotecore, is confirm safe kernel. I've tried these 2 for wiping.

PS : if you are not sure with my step on reviving with the pit file, I suggest you to read the link above from the OP for the pit revive method.

Good Luck !

[HTC One X] ssftheone:
Hey Guys,

Ive been using android since the days of the G1, and Ive been around the rooting block many many times. I currently have an ATT HTC One X and I have loved the device until recently. It is the only device (besides bloat) that I have not had the need to root and rip a new rom onto, until now.

Recently, my call volume for my earpiece is unbearably low. I have already configured the volume settings, they are at max. To confirm, its not a headset, not headphones, the actual ear speaker.

Headphones, Bluetooth, Back Speaker all work fine, and are loud. I am really upset that I can barely hear anything from the ear (no, I am not deaf haha). For example, its so low, that I cannot hear it in my quiet work office, the low humm of the A/C and slight talking makes it impossible to hear. Ive resorted to using speakerphone for most of my calls but its annoying as hell. I bought the phone off contract from a different vendor, so im screwed for a warranty.

Ideas? Similarities?

Greetings all, I'm having Xperia Neo rooted running GB 2.3.4. I just recently flashed my GB 2.3.4 and as usual got stock rom Google apps including play store, gmail, google search etc.

In stock rom, google search has older version, obviously, where its GUI is not that good and I remember that I had updated it when I haven't flashed or rooted and that GUI was so smooth and sleek. It was full white and bright than this older version came with stock. So I thought to update it from market manually. When I went to market, saw google search app but, Market says, only for android 4.1 and up :( oh Google, why so? what about GB users then dear? If suppose, I had not had stock .apk of google search and I wanted it from market only then unknown download, I could not have it on my phone only. Google search is most imp app, obviously. But why google did so? This is very disgraceful. Tell your views. :(

For both my G2 and G2X I was a long time subscriber to the body glove cases, the G2 body glove case had a tendency to break frequently (result of the split body for the keyboard more than anything), but I enjoyed the feel of it on the phone when it wasn't broken. After my G2X body glove case broke for a second time (resulting in a re-purchase replacement), I replaced it with a trident aegis which has performed very well under heavy industrial working conditions (lots of dropping from good height getting out of a truck onto varied surfaces, all weather temperature and precipitation). I'd recommend the aegis case over just about anything else at this point.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coled91:
I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and have encountered one of the dreaded charging bugs. I have searched and cannot find anyone with the same problem as me though. When this started I had just flashed one of the newer aokp jellybean builds. I also started using a cheap ebay usb cord to charge my phone because it was 6ft and I needed the length. I still used the same adapter that plugs into the wall so it was just a new cord. I figured I would include any details that might have done something? My battery icon will show the charging symbol on and off frequently. This is obviously killing my battery life and is very annoying as the screen turns on and off too. BUT if I go into the settings and check the battery from there it shows correctly when it is charging and discharging. I have swapped batteries to make sure that is not the issue and I also reverted fully back to stock. The problem still persisted but only with the battery icon. I contacted verzion to send me a replacement and it was horrible so I'm sending it back. I am on my first nexus and it has been wonderful and I wanted to keep it if i could! I didnt know if there was a way I could look into the phone or if anyone would have an idea to why this is happening...
