The thread talks about downgrading from .13 to .30 by flashing the .30 firmware update WITHOUT using the nvflash, that's what I was wondering if it was confirmed to be able to downgrade to ICS to the .30 firmware without needing NVflash?

[Transformer TF300T General] mikaole:
There is no way. I tried all methods. You cant get the old Bootloader to flash, because of the signature missmatch

BTW

You can flash any ICS Rom over JB. It just want boot. So its not in any use to do so.

Just never do the bootloader wipe and you will be fine with fastboot.

Anyone have any of the threads where someone bricked going from JB to ICS? I have searched and searched with no examples!
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
I actually tried flashing ICS over JB as an attempt to downgrade. This was my process.

I tried flashing a custom ICS rom, and nothing happened, practically. Of course, I wiped the Rom, so when I tried to reboot, I was warned that no Rom existed. I tried flashing the stock rom from Asus, and that did not work either. So I use fastboot to push the ICS recovery to the tablet. When I attempted to reboot, it failed. When I tried to get back into recovery, I received a message under the message "This device is unlocked" in red letters saying, "Signature mismatch." At this point, my stomach was in my throat. I rebooted into flashboot, and sent the jb recovery image back to my tab. This was when I reflashed a custom JB Rom, and gave up. I know that I could've tried using fastboot to push both the bootloader from Asus and an ICS recovery image, but seeing those red letters was enough warning for me.

So I'm now JB for life, and I'm fine with that!

To be honest, I did not necessarily want to go back to ICS, but I didn't like the thought that I couldn't. Rebellious human nature... :P. I flash between GB and ICS on my phone on a daily basis.

tf300t boot fail

Geschafft habe ich diese Meisterleistung mit einer Mischung aus neuem ASUS JellyBean Bootloader und der dazu eben nicht passenden CWM Version für IceCreamSandwich. Das Tablet bootet bis zum ersten ASUS-Logo und das war es dann, es versucht die CWM Recovery zu booten welche den falschen Kernel für den JB Bootloader hat. Es funktionieren weder Fastboot noch ADB. Einzig der APX Mode ist verfügbar was aber nicht besonders hilfreich ist, da das Tool NVFlash nicht für den JB Bootloader erhältlich ist.
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Asus tf300t no boot

I have managed this feat with a mix of new ASUS JellyBean bootloader and not just to the appropriate version for CWM IceCreamSandwich. The tablet boots up for the first ASUS logo and that was it, it tries to boot the CWM recovery that the wrong kernel for the JB bootloader. It neither work nor Fastboot ADB. Only the APX mode is available but this is not particularly useful, because the tool is not available for the JB NVFLASH bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] herschwolf:
Yeah, I was going to suggest that. You CANNOT install an ICS kernel based ROM on the JB bootloader for the TF300. Just cause the ROM says it's a JB ROM, doesn't mean it works on the JB Bootloader. Unfortunately these are two separate things.

Sooo.....

The only ROMs currently supported on a TF300 using the OTA update of Jelly Bean (not a custom ROM version of Jelly Bean) are Hydro, CleanROM, and the Stock ROMs given by dev surdu. You will need to enter Recovery and flash a new ROM.

If you don't have a recovery anymore, you WILL need to Fastboot the Recovery image over. Let us know if that works for you.

If you really really want it you can go back to ICS from JB OTA

you can flash .30 for the tf700 (i did that), it boots and everything works and is stock ICS

I tried then to install cm10 for the tf300t, but that did not boot. I did not try the tf700 cm10 (unofficial)

I reflashed JB ota for TF300T an run hydro now

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zane55:
Hi guys,

i just installed the newest nightly CM10 (18.09.2012) on my galaxy tab 3110.

first i noticed that in navigation bar the back and multitask buttons are replaced.

second i noticed these buttons are smaller than bevor with nightly build 14.09.2012.

i figuered out how to replace the buttons again and saved the settings.

my problem is as followed:

since the new nightly update my navigation bar is not specific. everytime i have to touch the buttons a bit left and they work.

if i touch them in the center or a bit right there is no action and the buttons are not responding.

only the home-screen button is working well so far.

has anyone noticed this problem? can i solve it?

does this problem depend on the smaller navigation-bar buttons?

i hope you can help me.

thanks

i dont want to change my rom. before the new nightly everything was ok and the navigation-bar was not customizable, so nothing was wrong and everytime i touched the buttons they responded 100%

does anybody have the same problems like me when touching the navigation-buttons they cant be touched in the center or a little bit to the right of them?

EDIT:

So it seems the problem is known by other users as well.

I would like to downgrade to an older nightly build. is this possible? can anybody tell me how to do it?

can i just put the older nightly .zip on internal sd-card and flash it like all the other "updates"?

thanks

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ed.slatt:
I would like to look at working boot and recovery images while I wait to root my device. I believe the boot image comes from /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 and the recovery image comes from /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 (based on cat /proc/emmc). I am unable to pull these images myself as follows.

shell@android:/ $ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 > /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/boot.img

/dev/block/mmcblk0p21: Permission denied

shell@android:/ $ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 > /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/recovery.img

/dev/block/mmcblk0p22: Permission denied

I understand there are a few rooted devices out there. If you have one of these devices, would you consider running these commands and providing me with the resultant images?

If you dont have an sdcard, there is no way to do an ruu or flash a rom, unless you already have a rom on your emmc. You will need to get an sdcard, load a PB31IMG.zip ruu, and flash it thru hboot. Or put a rom on an sd and flash it thru recovery.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5nak3:
Hi folks,

I'm brand new to the world of Android. Over the past couple days I've managed to go from a UK Orange branded Desire, to a fully rooted, S-Off Desire running MildWild v4.3 with the help of some of the guides on this site. But I've finally hit an impasse and could really use a bit of guidance.

Given the technical limitations of the phone I wanted a stable Rom which was relatively easy to install for a first try. But I can't find the information I'm after regarding sd-ext. I'm hoping someone could clarify or point me towards answers for the following:

I've managed to enable installing and moving to sd-ext, but for some reason certain apps e.g. gmail, mail, google play cannot be moved to sd-ext let alone uninstalled from the phone. Is this because they are core system/Android applications?

Even after setting the default install location to sd-ext, once I've installed several apps my internal memory drops from 101mb to 71mb. Is this to be expected? I've not finished installing my apps so I expect this to drop some more.

On the stock HTC rom, the browser would save a cache to the internal memory, so I opted for Opera Mobile instead. Is this still true for Mildwild? Or does the rom store data & caches to the sd card?

Ultimately, I'm shooting for my apps to reside on the sd-ext partition and making sure as much of the data/cache is there, leaving as much space free on the internal memory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
1. these are system apps, so cannot be uninstalled. keep them on system partition anyway, they run fine from there.

2. yes. app data, system app dalvik cache and app cache get stored on /data partition (internal) with this rom. space will gradually decrease the more you install.

3. yes, as above app cache gets stored on /data, including browser, thought this is probably true for most roms.

a couple of points:

1. I believe you are still on stock hboot. to maximise space, you need to change to cm7r2 hboot (easy since you are s-off). basically if you are still on stock hboot, you have a lot of system partition space free and wasted, which can be repartitioned to internal by switching hboot...i.e. you get more internal memory :D

i recommend to:

- nandroid backup

- change to cm7r2 hboot (recommend using fastboot, guide here)

- boot into recovery, full wipe and nandroid restore​

2. install an app like 'diskusage'. you'll be able to browse all your partitions to see how and where all your space is being used to help troubleshoot space issues. can do this for any rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5nak3:
Thanks for the clarification.

Regarding the hboot, you are likely correct. As far as I know the n00b proof everything guide I've followed didn't mention anything about changing hboot. I did see mention of cm7r2 on rom download pages but didn't understand what it meant.

Having looked at the Alpharev website, if I've understood it correctly, by flashing the Hboot with cm7r2, I should have approximately 140mb more than on the stock hboot. While flashing the hboot *seems* simple enough am I able to return to my original hboot at a future date or is it lost forever, meaning I have to rely on the Alpharev hboot images?

If I'm going to wipe the device anyways for the hboot it gives me a chance to try a different rom :D

I downloaded diskusage, what a lovely program!

I did notice I had a peculiar folder on my sd card titled "backup" with two backups around 250-350mb in size. I'm guessing these are my nandroid backups?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you understand exactly the differences between the hboots. you'd be surprised that people who do actually flash them have no idea what they're doing or what they are:eek:

you can easily switch between hboots, you pick it depending on the rom's system size. you can go back to stock hboot by flashing 'bravo downgrader' (some hboots like cm7r2 are write protected), followed by 'bravo stock' from alpharev.

before flashing them, check the md5sums of the hboots using a free program like md5check.

once you've set up fastboot as above, follow the commands on alpharev (just beneath the table of hboots). you'll see cm7r2 at the top of the bootloader screen if successful.

nandroid backups are stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

i always keep a couple on PC for safe keeping, they can also start to take up a lot of space on sd once you start to install lots of apps.

make sure you always nandroid backup before flashing a zip or different rom. when/if you restore them if something goes wrong or you don't like the changes, you restore the exact state of the phone (contacts, apps, homescreens...EVERYTHING)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5nak3:
Ok I must be missing a trick somewhere.

I've followed all the steps outlined on Alpharev's site:

Everything is great up till step 5. In fact my fastboot menu says "alpharev cm7 v2" which I can only assume means great success on my part.

Can someone please explain what step 6 is? Do i reboot the device? Should I power down and do "volume key+power" then wipe? In my fastboot menu there is no recovery option...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Fastboot erase cache is a fastboot command.

In fastboot menu select bootloader and press power and then in bootloader select recovey and press power to enter recovery

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5nak3:
Excellent, I was lost at that last step and this is what I needed to piece it all together. I can happily confirm everything went well. I have my rom installed and the phone is still going.

Many thanks jmcclue, and of course eddiehk6 really appreciate your help in getting my up and running.

mildwild sd-ext

Hi folks,

just a quick note on this post. I just moved from Mildwild CM- 5.0 to Mildwild 4.3 (Oxygen) because the first one was giving me a delay problem on call. before the move I have made a titanium backup of all my apps+data. After the I have installed mildwild 4.3 and restored all the app+data I have something like 17Mb internal memory free whether with the MildWild 5.0 I had more than 40mb.

Could something explain that? Did I do something wrong?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
Nop, you can move them manually to sdcard. I don't think when restoring apps they will all go straight to sdcard, sometimes you need to move them manually.

You can also go to cyanogenmod settings and in the first option (I think is about allowing moving apps?) select there to move to sdcard by default.

To help you can also download S2E from the market, open it, select Apps and Private Apps and if dalvik if you still need space. Leave app data on internal, selecting only Applications to be moved. Reboot, if you're still short on space, open S2E again and select to move Dalvik as well, reboot, you should be okay now :)

Using cmr2 hboot also allows more space on internal, less headaches :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
do not use S2E with Mildwild Oxygen: "S2E works only with CyanogenMod7 and CyanogenMod9"

you do not need to use any extra apps to move apps to sd-ext. follow the instructions in the first post of the mildwild thread.

you should be s-off with cm7r2 hboot to maximise space with this rom. (cm7r2 hboot with Mildwild CM-5.0 would also work)

read my first reply in this thread to understand where all your apps/dalvik/data are stored: i.e. use an app like 'diskusage' to check

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
My Galaxy S III is running XXDLI7, so it's already got Google Now on it. However, my Note, Note 10.1, and One X are all still running ICS. I've put Google Now on all of them and had fantastic results. However, I didn't flash the package with CWM. I extracted the *.zip and copied over all of the files and directories manually. That way I can make sure all of the files and directories have the correct permissions set. For example, when I flashed the package in TWRP on my One X, every file and directory flashed had it's permissions set to 033 (--- -wx -wx) for some weird-ass reason. Because of this funky glitch, I had to go back and manually set the permissions for every single file and directory. So when it came time to put Google Now on my Note and Note 10.1, I just did it manually. Went smooth as butter! ;)

If you had a termination fee that means you left sprint, therefore you'll have a higher monthly bill no matter where you go.

Hello,

Thanks to being able to bill to my account, I ordered a 64gb iPhone 5 today. I am honestly not sure if I am going to end up keeping it as I have been using Androids since 2.1 (Eclair) and I really like the platform. However, I am frustrated that Sprint frakked the Photon 4G replacement and I am not fond of Samsung (too plasticky) and to a lesser extent HTC.

I was honestly praying that Sprint would get some sort of version of the RAZR. The Intel Atom powered RAZR looks amazing, but has only been announced for Europe and I think Asia.

Being with Sprint since 1999, I really am conflicted about the iPhone in general. Thanks to Sprint having to pony up Billions of Dollars just to offer the bloody thing. they have done away with the Premier Gold Program replete with 12 Month Upgrades, the ability to bill equipment to your account at any corporate owned Sprint Store, and far less understanding Account Services actions.

That being said., it will be nice to have tons of options for Accessories where with the Photon there are hardly any. Still, I am hoping a flagship Android Phone is announced by Sprint in the next month.

Cheers,

JJ
