[HTC Incredible S] alrosh7:
I am trying to get rid of the CM7.1 on my Incredible S. I have fastboot on my Ubuntu machine and all the android libraries necessary. I tried a lot of commands from fastboot a couple of days ago but nothing happened. Miui got stuck on boot screen, CM7.2 also did the same. I want to wipe my phone. Delete everything. I am sick of the CM7.1 it is old.

My bootloader says this:

***UNLOCKED***

VIVO .. S-ON

HBOOT-2.00.0000

RADIO-3822.10.08.28_M

I want a step by step way to wipe my phone and install the STOCK ROM (but keeping my root), and using Ubuntu. I have been through dozens of tutorials, my phone wont wipe.

OFFICIAL ROMS:

http://www.filefactory.com/f/e45d6fe3dcf51228/

question: which one do I download (which one is the latest) and why do they have 100mb + difference? thanks a lot!

I need your help before I smash the phone on the wall
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Since you're s-on still and unlocked, have you flashed the boot.img from the roms are flashed? Its required after a new rom/kernel flash in order to get the rom booting.
[HTC Incredible S] alrosh7:
Why do I have to flash the boot.img? I download the *.zip file and flash the whole zip file using ROM manager. That should be enough
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
With s on you still have to fast boot flash boot.img to get the phone booting

Search how to do it, you probably did it when you flashed CM7

Sent from my Nexus 7
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
With the unlocked bootloader, the boot partition only gets mounted as ReadOnly when in Recovery mode, thus when you flash a ROM in recovery mode, the boot.img file does not get written to your phone.

You manually have to flash the boot.img while in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:

fastboot flash boot [boot.img file]

Also, you stated that you want to install a stock ROM but keep your root. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. In order to flash an official HTC stock RUU, you must relock your bootloader. If you attempt to flash a RUU on an unlocked bootloader, you will get a 155 error.

2. Depending on which stock RUU you choose to flash, that particular bootloader may or may not be unlockable.

In the Development section there are several IncS stock, rooted ROMs that were built from official RUUs. I would recommend you give those a try. You may also want to look at mike1986's ARHD ROM which is based on the IncS ICS ROM.

Simple question..

Do I need magldr in order to run NativeSD, or can it be done from clrcad / haret ??

Thanks

Chris
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rawdaddymagraden:
" NativeSD Installation for Windows Mobile and other OS users :

Code:

1. Boot into recovery by executing the usual clcad and haret stuff inside the Recovery folder

2. Flash the ROM.zip package and follow instructions

3. Reboot and boot the ROM by executing the usual clcad and haret stuff inside the native sd folder"

This was quoted from the first op in the native sd thread. So yes it is possible but please be sure to read that op carefully good luck

from my HTC One X with Beats Audio using Tapatalk 2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pakure:
first you need 4ext partition on your sd card...Then

Extract and copy 4ext Sd recovery folder from the native sd thread onto your sd card

copy the zip file(dont extract) of your chosen nativesd rom to your sd card....then follow the instructions in above post
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cjbcjbchris:
Another simple question - Flash the ROM.zip package and follow instructions - What does that mean (Flash the Rom.zip)??

Chris
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] teddyking:
- Copy nativesd rom package to your SD card for example. "Mokee_V1.6B_NATIVESD.zip". Do not unzip

- Run clrcad.exe and haret.exe from 4EXTRecovery. That will bring you to rom installation menu which you can choose Mokee_V1.6B_NATIVESD.zip
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cjbcjbchris:
I keep getting an error after I clrcad/haret from within recovery folder

It starts up then:

E:can't find misc

"E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"

It shows both partitions - ext4 and fat 32 then - "E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"

If i use install from sdcard in main menu, i just get a blank screen...

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Note II General] apprentice:
Yesterday I made a trip to the Samsung flagship store in Westfield Centre Stratford City London to buy the Galaxy Note II a day earlier than the official launch day. I have to admit the whole experience was highly disappointing.

Firstly the store was being set up with displays, balloons etc etc just minutes before opening, staff seen scurrying around trying to get everything in place in time. Very unprofessional. When the doors opened, there was little enthusiasm from the staff, we we ordered around by a girl with a clipboard like we were queuing for bread!

There was utter confusion on the price and availability, I had 3 different stories from the staff, some had no knowledge of the device at all. One even said "are you buying it because of all the apps on the App Store" !!!

When we finally found out the true price we were all horrified when we were told the "special pre launch price" was £570 which was a staggering £50 to £70 more expensive than all the online retailers. They eventually listened to angry customers and dropped the price down by £20 but it still wasn't the best deal possible. The grey version was on display but no grey ones in stock.

Party atmosphere consisted of hastily blown up balloons at the entrance and a DJ that was playing music so loud I couldn't hear any of the staff.

The only freebies were bags of Jelly Beans and a cup cake each.

All in all it cost me a lot of money in petrol, parking and Westfield Centre food prices plus the hiked price just to get my phone 1 day early.

Only saving grace was some nice friendly people waiting in the queue and the phone of course is awesome!

But sadly Samsung could learn something from Apple about launch parties. That's not something I say lightly.
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
Haha yeah I would totally agree with you. I was there myself as well and the staff did not have a clue about the device. There was only one staff who really knew his Samsung stuff. The rest were very apparent temps who had iPhones in their pockets which they reached for to check the time of when their shift ends!

I agree that the only saving grace was the rest of the community who stood in line for the launch. We poked fun at the girls who gave out jelly beans in the blistering cold, laughed at the exclusive price Samsung were offering, teased at the non-availability of the grey version, and sympathised the DJ spinning his music which everyone ignored.

All in all, it was a memorable experience, not because it was so great, but because everyone in the line appreciated the Note 2 and put through the hassle of coming to the flagship store to buy or try out the new device. Everyone there were enthusiasts, unlike Apple lines where people just got it to be cool, Grandma's getting it for their grand kids who didn't know how to appreciate it.

We even had a footballer in line who was raging that there was only the white version in stock. He ran off in a fit after knowing.
[Galaxy Note II General] Ouzo:
What cheeky b****ds. How typical of a British retail outlet to try and fleece the general public with a stupidly high price whilst delivering an atrocious service. I tried to convince my girlfriend that we needed to visit Stratford yesterday but she wasn't having any of it. It sounds like she did me a favour. Sorry you guys had to pay a higher price, though at least it wasn't the price they first asked for. I really don't know why we always get screwed over in this country.

Hope you're having fun phone with your new Notes.
[Galaxy Note II General] enchanterchi:
I don't know what do you expected. Nowadays, people has a smartphone just like has bread everyday. Nothing special.

About the price, I thin you should expect that all the online store raise up their price like iPhone. If you want cheaper one. Just ordered online. You got more choice.
[Galaxy Note II General] Nxxx:
At least it's availible in your country.... The UK gets EVERY THING first, other than iSh!t. :mad:
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
lol...I thought online stores are usually much cheaper than the physical stores, how can you compare them? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Well, tell your networks to stop using crappy CDMA technology then. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] apprentice:
They clearly stated there would be a promotional price for the phone. So YES I DID EXPECT it to be at least as cheap as online. This is a Samsung store, they could quite easily absorb a small loss on each handset sold on this special pre launch one day only.
[Galaxy Note II General] apprentice:
I think you are missing my point. I believe the release of a new flagship phone IS 'Something Special' And early buyers who queue for hours outside for it should be rewarded with a discounted price.

I can't understand why you don't believe the Samsung Galaxy Note II isn't special!!
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Lol....pre- launch promotion price = as cheap as online store = doesn't really make sense. :p
[Galaxy Note II General] apprentice:
Why? I have seen Carphonewarehouse and Phones4U match online prices... Why can't Samsung in their OWN store with their OWN product sell at the same price?? Why do you think it's silly??:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Because I have never seen any OWN stores selling their OWN products at the same price or lower....it may make those resellers business harder.
[Galaxy Note II General] nitrowing:
The 3 shop where I picked mine up are selling them for £499 PAYG - Samsung were blatantly taking the piss
[Galaxy Note II General] apprentice:
Exactly! Samsung store made a lot of people angry.

I am very happy with the phone so I guess I shall get over it but I won't be attending a 'launch party' again in the future.
[Galaxy Note II General] yohanpra:
I got my device on Saturday morning, a while two days before the device launched in the rest of the UK and a while day before the launch in the flagship store, very happy with the car phone warehouse, they gave me an early present even though they weren't supposed to launch until the 1st
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
The Note 2's there are locked to 3, so it's not the same as the SIM free ones from the Samsung store. Plus did you get any 3 bloatware at all?
[Galaxy Note II General] nitrowing:
That would be new, none of the phones I've had from them before were locked - I'll try a mate's SIM when I get the chance...

No bloatware on there (except the standard Samsung crap that I've disabled!).
[Galaxy Note II General] AjunNg:
My iPhone 4 was locked to 3 and I had to pay £15 to have it unlocked by them. I also asked in store just yesterday and they told me the N2's were locked. Though he wasn't convincing. I'd definitely double check with a non-3 SIM.

for some reason kfu wont install the kindle driver.... (unsigned driver)

it didn't give me a prompt but i went into my driver signing and clicked allow.... still wont go through

can someone help me out please?:rolleyes:

i've been at it for hours and came across one on youtube but it says android composite ADB instead of android ADB

im still on stock 6.3.1 ( no changes have been made yet to the device )

Is that really all it says on the topic? Is "you're on your own" truly what you got out of reading the following?

I gave you a "search Google" link. The first item the search returns gives you step-by-step directions on how to get around the problem. Have you read it? Have you tried it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaxxBite:
wow i just reread my post. that wasnt what i meant to say. sorry, i hope/wasnt trying to be rude or offend anyone:angel:

the google link kindav felt like i was on my own...i've searched all over google and all the windows xp steps either say press F8

( no driver option there on my PC) or to click ignore /warn for the dialog prompt

( basically.. no link addressed my issue)

( following the first link)

i'm not getting the dialog to begin with, i've clicked both ignore and warn but nothing works

also... when i click instal.bat i get

'and' is not recognized as an internal or external command ( did i miss a step?)

after that the kindle driving window pops up, i hit next and after not even a split second it says it wouldnt install..unsigned driver

-edit-

tried using 2 other computers...same problem
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishorev:
1) Download KFU from this link http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1399889

2) Before you start rooting ur device.. do the below

3) Extract the util.. run the install_drivers.bat.. this will help you install the drivers..

4) Once it is successfully done..follow the steps outlined in the document attached below (install drivers for ur kindle.docx)

5) Next step is to root ur device and install the google framework and market

6) To root your device.. run run.bat.. select option 2 to install the root.. it might take sometime and will restart the kindle and notify you

7) to install the google apps..run option 6 and then select 1.. sit back and watch the magic happen

This should help you.. let me know if you are not able to do it.. it will good if you can tell me in which step you are facing trouble

ALSO... why cant i get ADB in device manger?

but when i plug in my kindle fire, it's listed under "other" instead ADB or Android ( and no driver can be found for it....)

kfu wont install kindle drivers because its unsigned

i've done the methods to allow it / ignore the warning prompt but again... its not working

(i didn't get a warning btw... it just said it wouldnt install after not even a second)

i've installed a different (non-related) unsigned driver perfectly ( to test ) but when i use kfu, i the unsigned error immediately after clicking next :crying:

and i've tested on 3 computers now...its all the same for me :<

The kindle fire's vendor id was missing from adb_usb.inf . It was just a matter of opening adb_usb.inf with notepad and adding and saving this change.

0x1949

Then KFU could recognize the kindle as online bootmode 4000.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
I hope this isn't redundant or anything, but if you still have your Windows 7 machine still handy, try rolling back the driver. That's how I got mine to work. It should be listed under Android Phone -> Android ADB Interface in the first place. If not, try reinstalling the drivers first.

There`s something missing but I would need to look at it to fix it. Most of the time I can get it sorted out.

On my old phone GT-I9000 aka Galaxy S, to restore an imei you just needed to flahs any stock ROM via ODIN and that will restore your imei. Although I'm not sure if that the case with I9001. Never tried.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DerBobo:
I flashed a lot of Stock ROMS to get my imei back ... no one will bring your emei back. Most problems with emei are caused that sometimes on custom roms the baseband is missing. just flash a modem than anf basebabd and emei will be there.

flashing stock is doing the same, it flashes basebend and thats the only thing.

restoring your imei by flashing stock doesn't work!
