Ahh, now it makes sense. If an app was designed to take advantage of an SD Card, then it is still compatible with Nexus. Thanks, I get it now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brotuck:
There are currently 2 ways to grab a modem for flashing.

One of the ways is creating a dumpfile with the following command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/mnt/extSdCard/ODIN/modem.bin bs=4096

Now this is fine when you want to flash the modem with CWM, but when you want it to flash with ODIN it fails.

Now i know that the current dumpfile is about 30MB (probably the entire contents of the partition), but when i look into the MD5 files we flash in ODIN, the modem file is only 12 MB. Does anyone know how to get a 12 MB file from an installed ROM ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Easiest way? Just copy modem.bin from its partition if phone is rooted. You could flash modem.bin with mobile odin or you can prepare cwm .zip package or .tar for Odin.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felipevsw:
Hi folks!

I'm getting a Xoom next week (a little late, but better late than never!) so I'm new to Xoom related topics.

I took this weekend to read as much as I can about the device, methods and options available for it. And I got very impressed, there's a lot of stuff, which is a good thing!

But one thing in special got my attention: the recoveries available here.

I did not dig up that much on the forum, so I just found this two:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235170

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

The first one is based on ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, and the last one, as far as I understood, is based on ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0.

I know this is a very particular choice of the developer, basing his(hers) work on whatever he(she) sees fit, but here comes my question:

Why no one mention this option here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-wingray.img ???

I got this link from CyanogemMod wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Xoom_(Wi-Fi):_Full_Update_Guide

And looking at the numbers I can tell the first two options are very outdated... Someone ever used this 5.8.3.1 version?? It has any known issues?? Less features??

Maybe I'm being stupid by asking these questions, but I prefer not to be in doubt.

Thanks in advance!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felipevsw:
Thanks! Seems very nice!

But I'm really curious about the official ClockworkMod recovery that I mentioned.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
I've used the official CWM for xoom and it really sucks compared to some other options we have. It is good but there isn't an option for installing from internal SD card and nandroids to internal SD card. The font is much bigger and more scrolling is needed.

I personally think Team Rogues touch recovery is best, I use that permanently.

Team EOS have a later version here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604014

TWRP personally I hate, maybe we got off on a bad foot but I really dislike the interface and the way it works.

Give them all a flash and see what suits you, it's relatively easy to switch between them so it's not a hassle.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felipevsw:
This is what I want: some opinions about them. Thanks!

Team Rogue's seems very nice indeed! I'm very inclined to use that.

In this link you sent me there are some big letters saying it's depreciated and tells us to use TWRP instead, which is very nice too!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Don't use the official CWM as they aren't optimized for the Xoom and don't have external capabilities. Stick with either the current EOS or Rogue recovery. Imo TWRP is the best because it allows you to compress backups and flash multiple zips at once. It is also a full gui and therefore easier to navigate. Lastly it incorporates a file manager into the recovery, CWM doesn't have that. You can also look the screen while in TWRP to prevent accidental execution of commands.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felipevsw:
That's very nice, man! Thanks a lot! My decision is getting tougher..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
The fact that Team EOSs recovery is depreciated doesn't mean it doesn't work, it works perfectly and is still a great recovery. It's just no longer maintained/updated
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenemis:
lot of people have LESS issue with TWRP.

and the way it work is better than other recovery.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
For you maybe. And others. I personally prefer Team Rogues recovery. Everyone has a preference

If someone could, please help me... I don't seem to get the recovery working...

First I got really scared when I first entered stock recovery and only the lying Android with the red triangle with a black exclamation mark appeared with no options at all! I search for this to find that this is how stock recovery looks like.. It's not an error.

Then I pressed Vol up + Power to reboot my device. No options appeared...

I installed Tiamat's 3.2.0.0 rc4 recovery via command line. Apparently everything went good, but when I adb reboot recovery, I get the same lying Android screen with no options (seems that Tiamat's recovery was not installed, yet no error message appeared during installation..)

What am I missing?? What are the buttons combinations to get the recovery options??

I reccomend use this fix + new adreno drivers (download here)

I made this mod and first uppload it to 4pda.ru, and mod has been tested on lot of devices.

I'm on build .431 right now and it's an update to .587.

What're the probable the changes?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
It's over the air, don't accept it! Otherwise your device will brick!!!!!

You can only flash the .ftf and after that a prerooted kernel, but don't make updates over the air when your bootloader is unlocked ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] simon4u92:
Frankly speaking, that sounded a little sarcastic for some reason.

Anyways, what do I do now? How do I get that notification off my notification bar/drawer?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Uninstall update center will solve your problem. You don't need it anyway. Or flash the .ftf which should be uploaded somewhere here on xda :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adin234:
i think it wont brick your phone as long as you have a locked bootloader. but you will lose your root access
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
It will brick his phone, because his bootloader is unlocked (he is using extended stock kernel!). So don't accept the update!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adin234:
:good:

so to TS, you may relock bootloader and root via the downgrade and update method if you really want the .587 update ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
If I were him, I'd wait for someone who upload the .587 ftf. Then he can just flash it and a prerooted kernel like rage kernel for 4.0.4 and he has the latest rooted sony ics firmware ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] simon4u92:
I will just chuck the update and uninstall update center as advised.

Sounds like you aren't bootloader unlocked.

I think RUUs relock, but I am not sure.

you're right my man above Vigor PVT it says locked (on hboot) but I am S-off still do I need to reunlock the bootloader or will S-off just work it's magic?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You have to be bootloader unlocked to write recovery. But once you do that, doesn't matter after that.
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
if you have jphboot then put the recovery in a ph98zip and load in bootloader, if you have stock hboot then you would have to unlock to get amon ra to flash. i used jphboot but somehow messed up memory during the process and redid the ruu. then i had stock hboot and unlocked.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
ive read about a few people still having to unlock if your s-off but on any other hboot than the jpbear.. if you chose not to install the jpbear hboot when you s-offed then your stock bootloader you kept relolocks itself by default..

I recommend you verify the integrity of your LI7 file, then use Odin to flash ClockworkMod (links in my signature).

I think its about time people quit messing around with the worthless stock recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] themadzionist:
Hey, i had root and cwm on uvalh2. But i was told that to update my phone to the leak JB 4.1.1 UVDLI7, I need to unroot And install it from stock not CWM. Plus ive read about 10 different directions on varius sites saying the Same thing. I was even told to change the file name to Update.zip. i still get the error tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7. I've already done it to 2 other Phones, i just can't get it on mine. If you know a way to flash the JB leak UVDLI7 thru Odin please tell me how. Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I am not sure what error 7 means. It could mean your files didn't pass verification (the update checks them before it applies), or the zip file is corrupted, etc. Did you get it from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999&pcode=TMB&os=1&type=1#firmware?

My point is that this information about OTA flashing that you are seeing is outdated. People still swear by it, but they are no longer correct. Two months ago, they were correct. But not anymore. If you are using CWM 6.0.1.2, you absolutely do not need to do anything, except flash the leaked OTA update through CWM.

You don't flash the OTA updates through Odin. If you are on UVALH2 right now, here is what you do:

If you are using a modem that is not LH2, you need to flash to LH2.

Run OTA update through CWM.

Done.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcusabu:
I decided to install Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus. I already rooted it and downloaded rom manager + titanium back-up. I watched a tutorial on how to download and install roms using rom manager and everything seemed to go as planned and Cyanogen 9 was installed. The phone automatically rebooted and the boot animation the Cyanogen started. But after a half hour I realized it was stuck. So I tried to go into recovery mode to restore my backup (of the stock) but when I went there, the phone automatically turn off. It's not when I click, it's just after a certain period. It even turned off while restoring. To make things worse, when I turn it on now, it's stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked slot at the bottom. I hope you guys can help me because I'm starting to freak out.

There are several threads on XDA and elsewhere purporting to explain/help people fastboot while using a Mac as their "host." There is even a utility, Androtility:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914826

that claims to facilitate fastboot, as well as most other platform-tools-like tools. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get this to work for me...has anyone out there got another idea?

I can see my device with "adb devices" but "fastboot devices" just returns me to the command line. The version of the stock utility I have is one downloaded from the CyanogenMod wiki, and with which I (without fastboot) succesfully downgraded and rooted my phone...so most of the stuff there works...just not fastboot.

One thought I had was that of the name collision...the CM utility is called fastboot, as is the one in Androtility. Since I adjusted my PATH in .bash_profile to allow access to the CM fastboot version from anywhere, will it be called _even_ if I invoke fastboot while in the Androtility folder, instead of the version that is right there?

Also, need I change permission on Androtility to make it run...? When I call what seems to be the main Androtility app...my shell says there is no such command.

I tried changing the name of the Androtility version to "fastboot-mac" and "fastboot mac" and each time I also got the "no such command" respond from my shell,maybe chmod to 777 is needed...I admit I haven't looked...

I want fastboot so I can flash my hboot to 0.84...has any DZ/G2 plus Mac user done that?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix09:
You have to boot your phone to fastboot, you haven't said if you actually did so I'm assuming no. Otherwise you probably don't have the driver so the easiest option is install the android sdk and platform tools

If you're getting "no such command" it's because the location of it isn't in path, if you're in the folder it's located in you need to do "./fastboot" to run it
