Official Recognized Contributor Blog!

Yes, the Recognized Contributor blog! Somewhat similar to the XDA portal, but

not

really. It's not an attempt to take over the portal (which would never happen) but more of a place for Recognized Contributors to share their findings and such things like that.

We've gathered quite a few Recognized Contributors to join the team and we've already got a few posts, and counting!

So, we'd all really appreciate it if you'd take some time to download the app, bookmark or read some of the posts!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
I've been (at least trying to) patiently wait for Deck to post full install instructions for CM10 but the CM10 op is still bare as bones. Has anyone else posted an install guide or instructions yet?

I'm currently rooted with RegawMod and running MeanRom 2.1 and it's really terribly laggy and frustrating, I can't wait any longer for CM10. Do I need S-off to install CM10 or do I just wipe, flash, and go?

Thanks for any help or links!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
If you are on hboot 1.15 or higher you have to fast boot flash the kernel.

Other than that its just like a normal aosp install. Wipe flash rom flash gapps.

Its been my daily for 3 weeks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
You don't need s-off. You will however have to flash the boot IMG separately by using fastboot or the app flash image GUI and a full wipe is definitely required. There is a helpful thread in Q&A called "don't panic" that will answer all your questions

Good luck
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Dont use flash image gui unless you know how to do it manually through fastboot. You are just asking for issues

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
I'm on hboot 1.12, so does that mean I can just flash normally?

edit - From what I can tell from reading, hboot 1.12 doesn't have the same restrictions that 1.15+ do, so I think I'm OK but I would like verification.

Thanks for the help everyone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Yes hboot 1.12 allows for access to the boot partition

Also luuuuucckkyyyyyy...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
If you are on Hboot 1.12 I'd strongly suggest looking into getting S-OFF. Theres really no reason not to.

Up to you though, its not required
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Bit off topic, anyone check to see if you can push a new splash, right now I'm too lazy to start my PC just to fastboot one measly splash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
The S-OFF guide was way over my head so I just let it be. If there's not a real good reason for doing it, and I can still run CM10, then I'd rather not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
It allows you to directly flash new firmware like radios to fix any problems a device might be having. If you have Son and want the latest firmware you have to revert back to stock and accept ota, then unlock reflash recovery and reflash custom ROM or rooted stock, you could also just flash root installer if you want to just root stock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
No, S-ON people with 1.12 H-boot can flash radios and firmware from recovery. They can do whatever they please in recovery just like S-OFF. S-OFF users can flash things from bootloader and even change the appearance of their h-boot to read S-ON and **locked** even though they are S-OFF

To the OP, this is the best rooting guide I've seen. It really explains everything step by step. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...panda-s-htc-dev-ltevo-root-dummies-guide.html Its recommended to have Linux at least bootable, because in the small chance the phone gets bricked... the unbricker program requires linux.

I ran it in windows before the unbricker was available, no issues here

You basically just hook the phone up to it and run the program like you do for most other root programs. All 1-click
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Ah yeah forgot to mention that, most everyone is on 1.15 or 1.19 sorry
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
Alright, I got S-Off using Lazy Panda and it went better than expected!

Do I need to flash updated firmware / radios separately from CM10, or does CM10 include latest firmware?

Sorry to ask dumb questions, but I do hope this thread will also be a good resource for others like me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You don't have to flash any firmware updates. There are a few users with issues although they may be related to the ROM update and not necessarily the firmware included. I haven't really checked since I'm s on. If you want to update the radios there's an update zip here somewhere, be sure to read through everything carefully. Radios are more risky then every day flashing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
Alright everyone now I need some help!

I flashed CM10 after s-off, was on stocked 1.13 rooted rom.

Now when CM10 boots up I am faced with a phone activation screen. It says something like "you will not be able to place calls or access the mobile network until the device is activated". I am unable to make calls or receive calls or access the internet. I have tried reflashing cm10 and the problem persists.

In the mean time, I will try flashing a nand backup and see where that gets me. I appreciate any and all help, and I have found no posts in the CM10 thread with a similar issue.

Update: I wiped and restored a back-up, MeanRom 2.1. Upon boot, hands-free activation ran and activated the phone and downloaded a PRL update. Everything is working fine now. Not sure if I should try CM10 again or what? Any advice?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
ive only ever seen this issue with cyanogenmod and the old htc vogues, still great phones for what they were
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Yes, you should be flashing the upgraded firmware. You'll see the full firmware as the very first downloadable link. Flash that

http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556

Rename the file to "PJ75IMG.zip", place on root of SD card, and boot into HBOOT to flash. Check the md5 to make sure its right. With radios you want to make sure its the correct file.

Welcome to S-OFF my friend:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
Thanks, but I tried this and it says "no image or wrong image" when trying to flash the PJ75IMG.zip file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joebarkho:
Did you type in PJ75IMG.zip or PJ75IMG and kept it a zip file...you should do the 2nd.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EdhyMonker:
I thought that might've been the issue so I tried it both ways, didn't work either way. I'll take another shot at it tomorrow.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] bournezhang:
it seems a key in the KF HD& new KF, when you boot it ，the machine will check the key，if not match， it wont boot.

so i will wait for some guys to crack it when KF HD& NEW KF in the market in the future

it means we can't flash other rom
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] clubtech:
Your source?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] tobiascuypers:
Well there hasn't been a official statement from amazon, but rumor is that there will be a boot loader is in all of the new fires. So yes, if this is true, then the kindle will go into a soft brick that can be unbricked by other means, but t will not boot if the bootliader is not correct.

I hope is isn't the case tho, I preordered the fire HD 8.9inch and wouldn't want to brick it by attempting to put a custom boot loader on my self):
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
I would seriously consider the consequences of buying one if you have any plans of modifying it. If Amazon's history with our current devices is any indication of what's to come, a lot of people may very well get screwed out of the deal. And if Pokey is correct, and the new KFs have the same OMAP security as the Nook tablet, you might as well give up on it because the new KFs won't have an external SD slot to boot from. You'll get stuck with one crappy, advertisement riddled, non-customizable, crippled, overpriced reader, that's as buggy (if not more) than the original.

I definitely wouldn't buy one in the hopes that it will get modified unless you have the technical know-how to get it done yourself.

That is, IMNSHO of course.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] KingObiWan:
amazon is trying to copy apple. Of course they would do that :P

it sounds like the boot loader would have to be rewritten some how, and that in its self seems unlikely
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] asrr62:
kindle fire hd or nexus 7?

if amazon does this they are just trashing their product. i am very tempted to return my nexus 7 which has such bad build quality.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] chrisbd1:
My Nexus build quality is great.

On topic I was mildly interested in Fire HD just for Prime content and wanting to see if a ROM was developed. No ROM, no way. Will be following the subject.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] huniper:
My build quality is great... not a single problem.

I wish people would stop expecting every product they buy to be 100% perfect.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Willieumm:
And even more so when they're buying a product for around $200 when all the comparable competitor's products are selling for $400+.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ravynmagi:
If it isn't 100% perfect, then I wouldn't call it great quality myself.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

The $200 excuse kinda came to an end when Amazon announced the Fire HD at $200. For Android enthusiasts and XDA readers it's probably not going to be that big a deal, but I believe the Kindle Fire HD will be very popular to the general public.

And it does trump a few of the Nexus 7's weak points.

Better screen with more vibrant colors.

Better wifi with 5GHz and MIMO support.

Better storage capacity at the same prices.

Better speakers.

And HDMI output.

The Nexus 7 has performance and apps on it's side, which are obviously extremely important to many of us.

I'll not replace my Nexus 7, but if the Kindle Fire HD can be rooted and Google Play installed, I just might get one.

PS... And B&N isn't done yet. They supposedly have something coming soon too. Microsoft invested $200 million with them, perhaps some kind of $200 Windows tablet? They promise a revolutionary screen and they've generally included micro SD slots so far too, hope that continues. I just hope they get away from that raised plastic bezel, so annoying with apps that use off screen swipes.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
Seriously? I think we're getting WAAAAY off topic here.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ravynmagi:
You are right. Just hard not to respond to the comments brought up. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] JaxDomino:
Bezos said he doesn't care if you root

I read on Engadget after the announcement that Engadget asked Bezos about people rooting and running custom ROM's. Bezos' response was that as long as your still buying from Amazon, he doen't care. So, I guess we'll see. Mine has already made it to the UPS Distro Center in my city and it got there a little after Noon today. I should have it in the morning!!!! As a Student Prime member, I would love it if we could get rid of the ads without paying the $15.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] oaba09:
The reason I bought the original fire is because i wanted to root it. The fact is, the stock kindle fire is crap if you're a power user.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] pokey9000:
Confirmed, Fire 2 and Fire HD 7" have signed bootloaders.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
Has anyone tested to see if the factory cable still works?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] bournezhang:
yes，factory cable still work.

but i don't know flash what kind of bootloader,because when i flash u-boot of kindle fire 1 ,it can't boot normally
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
The bootloader is one thing. Custom recovery is a completely different animal. Is the same OMAP security applied to the stock recovery?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Jared631:
I was thinking about buying an 8.9 inch one along with my 7" one. But, until this boot loader stuff is figured out. No way.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] podspi:
Probably doubtful, but does anyone have the bootloader, recovery, system images for the Fire HD 7" yet?

I don't need it, but wouldn't mind having it :D I do have a factory cable for my original Fire and multitude of Motorola phones...
[LG Optimus 2x] davidmarcoes:
I'm currently testing CM10 from Benee, and I'm suffering a curious issue: after every reboot, some (and always the same) widgets disappear from the desktop. Such widgets correspond to Simi Clock Pro and Alarm Clock Xtreme, while others remain after every reboot, like Business Calendar Pro and those from google apps.

If I extract the external sdcard the problem is gone, but other apps are unable to work (like stock Camera). Swap the mount points in vold.fstab (so that internal expanded storage is now /sdcard and external sdcard is /emmc) solves the no-sd-card problem, but widgets still disappear at the moment the external sdcard is inserted and phone is rebooted. Commenting the mount point associated with the external sdcard doesn't solves the problem.

Any idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Can you please post in the relevant thread and not create a new thread?
[LG Optimus 2x] davidmarcoes:
Sorry, I had 9 post at the moment of posting (less than 10 = no development forum) and I believed to be in the general forum xP.

hello friends,

i have purchased a new iphone from china which have android.

now the problem is that i want to install another android in this phone.

this phone is made by spreadtrum company of china, and this is some basic detail about the phone

model number: SPHS on Hsdroid

Android version: 2.3.6

baseband version: MAUI.11AMDW1150.SP.V6,2012/03/14 17:53

KERNAL VERSION:2.6.35.7

build number: MK_CM_GC_SY301E_2012.06.13

so i have rooted this device and tried a lot to update from debugging mode with update.zip but it says signature verification failed.

i know this is china , but from the list of this much androids any of atleast one android can b supported in this phone , bcoz this phone has lots of issues.

no network coverage in sim cards, some time comes some time not in the same sim card(so i think this is software problem.).

no internet connecting.

market app not responding.

google play also not working.

i tried vendor.apk

it allowes me to regiester to gmail acc, & then market app starts it opens :angel: but when i click on the app to download it it stop responding.

this phone was having a himarket app before this market. i removed it coz it has all the chinese apps that we cant understand.

so if there is any solution so tell me and help me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evodev:
First off that's not an iPhone. Second try Googling the actual device name, it seems like a less supported device though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
hi, i recently broke my old gs2's screen but as i had an insurance i got a brand new phone. i was wondering wheter it would be possible to restore a CWM-backup of my old ROM to the new phone, which would safe me a lot of time, as opposed to restoring everything manually. I tried just putting the backup in the correct folder and tried to restore it from CWM recovery, but i've encountered an MD5-mismatch! error at the beginning of the proces.. so i was wondering of there is any way to work around this problem..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
make sure you are running the same kernel you used, when you created those backups on your new phone.

The restore process should work well after that.

For example, if you were running Siyah 3.2 when you created those backups then flash Siyah 3.2 on your new phone or at worst Siyah 3.x.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
i was at siyah kernel, but actually i dont really remember what version.. now i'm back at latest siyah kernel, but apparantly i wasn't on last version when i did the backup.. i'll try to install older versions of siyah and try again, thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
actually, that doesnt really make sense to me.. the purpose of a nandroid is to restore your full rom when u messed up on something new.. so u won't be always on the same kernel, still it always worked for me.. any reason you would need to have the same kernel when it is another phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
I suspect its to stop retards trying to restore incorrect device backup and also because of some kernels restoring/backup differently to others so its all to stop you bricking your device.

Just install correct kernel and you shouldnt have a prob. There is also a way to bypass the check afaik, but I wouldnt advise it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
ok sorry, sound quite logic indeed.. maybe i was a bit of a retard there ;) (although i'd consider people who really restore backup from a totally different kind of phone far more retarded :p)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
no luck on same kernel neither, tried even adding same rom but didn't work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
ok, now i'm in big trouble, tried to restore my stock backup i made, error in restoring system, stuck at siyah boot logo and unable to enter recovery, what now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
was able to get into download mode, will try to flash stock rom through odin..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Flash your firmware back via Odin.

Ps:

1.Something messy must have gone wrong during your restore.

2. I always makes a full set up device in my phone, then restore it on my friends' phones without issues.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
well, i guess that since now also the stock restore has gone wrong it has something to do with my recovery.. so if i get my phone working again i'll try to start all over again..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Are you sure you really restored the backup using the same kernel version?

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
pretty sure, is i used the zip i found in a backup of the memory of my old phone.. but got it working again, that's already a huge relief.. next try will be for tomorrow, thanks for your help anyway :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
oh yeah, as i have to start all over again, maybe you have an idea on how to root it without triggering custom counter? i somehow succeeded one time but since then only had problems... mainly the reason of all the error is already there..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. Root it with this method

2. Flash Siyah kernel using the Temporary recovery after successful rooting

this will not increase counter.

However, if you have in a way increased your counter, just use Triangle away App by chainfire to reset it. Root is needed for the App to function
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
thanks alot

unfortunatly, that's the method i used, so or something went wrong the first time, or the problem wasn't that part, leaving me in doubt where it might have taken place

and thanks for triangle away link, i knew it existed but i always thought it just removed the triangle but didn't really reset the counter.. now by clicking again on your link i read the description so now i know that there is another way then buying a jig, so maybe i'll just flash using odin, leaving the counter on 1, but having a way to reset it when i should ever need to..
