[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivinityCycle:
The boot.imgs from CM9 and CM10 both lack any useful "handles" to try and understand their contents.

I'm uncertain how else to proceed.

I have tried creating a modified ramdisk archive, then padding out the rest of the space with zeros so that the various pieces of boot.img fall at the same location, but no success.

I'm beginning to think everything about the Samsung boot.img is weird. I was able to locate the boot logo, but its located in the ramdisk at /sbin/fota.png.

I've been knocking away on this for like a week now, and I'm beginning to think maybe it ain't worth it. All this so I can get insecure boot and maybe a modified boot image? Freakin Samsung :(

Dude if you try ti compile from source? http://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp;jsessionid=87EF54BA86939797E7CBFB11F3538D1F idk if source are for kernel
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivinityCycle:
I am looking at it but that's pretty complicated to set up, so it'll take me a while. I have also been "side-tracked" by the other parts of my ROM :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightflier2:
Did you manage it? I tried the same thing and basically came to the same conclusions so far...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supyus:
Hey DC,

Were you finally able to extract the RAMDISK from the boot.img? Of course compiling the source is always an option but that would be a pretty hectic route. I basically need to edit the init.rc file and pack it back. Samsung has really made the life difficult, that's all I could conclude after this long research!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivinityCycle:
I gave up on this project because the only real benefit I can see to building a "stock" based ROM is that the IR blaster hardware would work.

However, the IR blaster isn't terribly useful, and the stock ROM is just terrible, so I've gone back to using CyanogenMod 10. Its one of those "It would be great if someone would make an awesome ROM for this device", but Samsung made it less than easy and the T869 isn't very mainstream. If I had extra money to waste I would totally get myself the mobile data version of the Nexus 7 simply because of the better software support. Oh well, it is what it is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rookie407:
This my friend was a great find for me!!! thank you for taking time to research all of this as it has helped me immensely!!! you should totally think about writing up a tutorial on this for future use.

again thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivinityCycle:
I actually DID get the mobile version of the Nexus 7, so I have abandoned the T869...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rookie407:
Its ok ur researching all this gave me just enough to get a working recovery system for a phone that didnt have one to start with and I will be sure to credit and link u to the post when I upload everything later.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5mohsen5:
I get this error
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMLOGIC:
I'm also trying to extract the kernel and ramdisk out of my boot.img which was build by cwm but I'm still stuck with this,and it looks like nobody is getting attention for that, my boot.img was downloaded 0 times, and I'm really confused with thisnstuff, it would be pretty good if someone is willing to help meout, since I'm stupid, and everybody can extract boot.img files easily.

Thanks in advance again, probably nobody will reply, cause I'm new and nobody interested inmy stuff.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
Is it curved or is it just playing tricks on my mind?

How come many times the screen seems to be curved like the S3 to me?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariachi202:
The S3 is not curved, the nexus phones are. To the best of my knowledge, the note 2is not curved as well. Lay it down face first on a flat surface and see for yourself.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWood110:
You can put your phone in download mode, then you can use Odin. Make sure your phone is off, then press the volume button + and - at the same time, connect your phone via usb, then your phone should be in download mode and Odin should recognize your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
with your Girlfriend? Tech info please...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
Haha I know that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
I may be misunderstanding the whole point of this thread, but WHY would Odin, or the PC, or any other Earthly technology recognize your device if it was powered OFF?

You want a connection it better have juice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
I meant in download mode sorry... lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Yes, you must be in download mode. That's the phone state Odin uses to communicate with your device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
With all sincerity, there many, many guides that I would check, These threads are difficult,if we dont know your problem, level of expertise, or intentions,...good peeps that can help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
Alright... Thanks anyway guys, I appreciate it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
Any ideas where to check for help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Here is fine, I think we are all confused. I thought the question was: Does my phone need to be in Download Mode to be recognized by Odin?

The answer to that is: yes.

Is there another question? This is the right place, fire away friend.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazierokz:
whats going on i guess its not working for you yet i see ....what is it that you are trying to do you lost me now lol.....if your rooted mate then you should have the update.zip file to install CWM recovery on your SD then install ROM manager search around for it people say its not in the play store but its all the way at the bottom if you search ROOT install the app and follow the onscreen to install the recovery mod and then you should be good to go on flashing turn your phone off and and hold all 3 buttons to turn it back on as soon as you see the logo pop up let go of the power button and you should be in your recovery then install zip from SD send PM if your lost
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
Haha sorry for not making that clear. I went into download mode and it didn't recognize it. I knew it had to be in download mode. I ended up restarting my computer and plugged it into a USB 3.0 instead of a 2.0 port and it worked just fine... Thanks anyways for trying to help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
Haha thanks I had CWM installed, I just needed to restart my PC and plug the cable into a USB 3.0 instead of a 2.0...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robandcathy:
Mine is still unfder warrenty, I managed to brick it once so good that I couldnt even get into download mode, or recovery, now that the prime is gone and out of stock, if I brick it I could get credit towards a newer one. I know this is not the best thing to do but im on .21 from factory and really tired of coming back here to see no way to root it, well not without of hours of reading. So yes I actually do want to brick it. Best Buy will no longer fix them. Sorry if I sound evil.

Moderator Edit: Thread title edited
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
what are you talking about??? There are several or click methods for rooting older versions..... The only one not currently rootable after the fact is 4.1.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
So you are basically asking for help to commit fraud on Best Buy by purposefully killing your tablet so you can claim " it doesn't work and I don't know why" so as to get a replacement? Sorry can't help you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strabo100:
why don't u just read the brick recovery thread and see for yourself how people got bricked.

[HTC One X] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
Hey folks,

I'm experiencing a very poor battery life on CM10 nightlies, something like overall 7 hours maximum with around 1.5 hours screen on, which is really bad

I've tried the below kernels:

1- ncx from v7.4 to v8.0b5

2- TripNDroid Unleashed 3.1.20-22a

I've tried them with no luck to get better, meanwhile previously on stock and custom sense roms i get around 18 hours and 3.5 screen on time, any tricks, fixes, or solutions, as i really need to get rid of this f-cking sense, i really hate it
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
I could get around 4hrs screen on time with NCX and CM10. Try underclocking and using ondemand governor
[HTC One X] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
which nightly? and which version of NCX? also underclocking to 1000 or 1200 or what?
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
It was a nightly from a week or so ago but I got the same battery life on all nightlys, they're pretty much identical. Think I was running at 1200. My HOX is being repaired atm so I'm not sure.

Most of the time I'm connected to a network at my university and anytime I open the gallery other shared DLNA devices (other people's laptops/desktops) in the building I'm in show up in the gallery app. This is driving me nuts, I want to prevent these from showing up but I don't see an option to do so. Searched around but found no answers.

Same issue here.. I hate it.. I had no luck in a search but hopefully u will.. also if u do please post how.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
Open Gallery, press menu and select "View by." Then choose "Content in device."

That will make all the shared albums disappear.... too bad the selection won't stick. They all show up again as soon as you re-open Gallery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nathantaylor:
Hello all, I am wondering in your opinion what the best placebo optimization pill is the best to use with Phantom's Blazer ICS Rom. I installed Pi, and it's working great so far. I want to know what others think so I can get even better battery life with this Rom on my E4GT. Thank you in advance!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Placebo isn't rom specific

And pill? Sounds like phaks older work.. I would suggest using placebo 2.0 or his latest pegasusq script in his op

I been using it (latest script) and here are my results

-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nathantaylor:
Answered all of my problems. Thanks man!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
ok so now i have ka sspeed on my sxs and i am thinking of going back to cm9 (sure as hell i aint going back to stock)

the question is : do i have to flash a kernel again if i am using this method?

http://www.androidauthority.com/xperia-s-lt26i-android-4-0-4-ics-cyanogenmod-9-1-cm9-1-rom-112412/

if yes do how do i flash a kernel? now i know i flash roms by connecting via fastboot then fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot recovery-nozomi.ini then reboot and i install from the cwm menu... but when i want to flash a kernel and i do the same things it seems that the command -i 0x0fce etc deletes the rom i flashed in cwm.. i tried once flashing gapps this way and discovered after flashing gapps that the rom is gone.. am i missing something? i can assure u and myself that im still a noob so please treat me like a baby who needs candy! btw this problem faces me whenever i wanna flash mods or anything so i really need to understand what im doing wrong here! thanks in advance for everyone who WILL NOT ignore me ! :)

oh and one last question... should the rom be flashed first or the kernel?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
just download the cm9 rom from the development section,

then flash the rom via recovery ( it doesnt matter what kernel are you in.)

flash the gapps

then flash the kernel (cm kernel included in the package).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
is it the boot.img included in the zip file? should i take it out and flash it via fastboot or what do i do?

another question.. the zip file i have starts with fxp136_etc... the one im downloading now is fxp141_etc...

is it a different version or just a different name? i mean are there many versions of cm9.1?

i want to replace some stock files (camera, music player, video editor...) and add the stock ones. how about i rename walkman.apk to apollo.apk? will it work? or semccamera.apk to camera.apk..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
ok sorry for the first question it was stupid! but i need to know about the other questions.. whats the difference between 136 and 141? and can i replace the stock apps in the zip file?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] babyboy3265:
ka

So disappointed of KA roms.. Since the 14th, none work for me, all full of errors... im changing rom too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
you can view the changelog on signature of fxp,

for replacing stock apps i think its better not to be replace.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

you can choose roms thats suits you best :), or you can try to make your own rom, click the links on my sig :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
i respectfully disagree.. the only reason i was changing to cm is to show my friend how it looks like before installing it on his phone from stock.. i think ka rom is recently the best rom for sxs,, with the tweaks that happened in 17 and 18 its almost perfect.. plus the fcs and ther bugs are fixed hy the developer so i dont think there is anything wrong... come on he supports his rom more than sony does to theirs :P

anyway if u want help with installing check his guide and i can help with my modest knowledge if u need anything u can ask me!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] luaifarah:
one day i will try that.. and if it works u'll be getting a huge thanks from me :D

Any advice?

[Sony Tablet S] fatbob73:
Hi everyone,

Is it possible to customize the top bar on the Sony Tablet S?

For example, I'd like to remove the native browser and add either Chrome or Opera. Also I'd like to add the GMail app.

Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] rimsilva:
It seems that you are running an old version right? In ICS 4.0.3 r5 you just need to press (and hold) the application to remove and add a new one.

The old ones I don't remember.
[Sony Tablet S] fatbob73:
I forgot to mention that I am running 4.0.3 release1a. I just tried again and I found out that there is a limit of 4 apps. I removed one and I was able to add another in its place.

Thanks for the help. :good:
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisjm00:
Hello all,

After my 6th Nexus replacement, the store offered me an S3 as an alternative. This happened at about 6 p.m tonight. The main question I have is I remember reading somewhere that there was supposed to be a second update coming soon that is supposed to address the error. Verizon was gracious enough to offer me the S3 as a replacement, and based on everything I am reading, I wasn't going to pass it up based on a software issue. My main question is for people living in Maryland, specifically the Middle River/Baltimore area. I notice that a lot of the errors have been very specific to weak coverage locations. Have there been any talks of a new update coming down anytime soon to finally fix that error? Also, if anyone who lives/works/commutes through that area, specifically near the military base could comment on their experiences that would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
The sim errors seem to be location specific, I think its how sims are identified on VZWs network. I live in Philly and haven't had one sim error, even when on trains my signal constantly switches between 3G/4G/1x and I've been lucky enough to be error free, but friends of mine who live in the same area get them so I'm wondering if it has something to do with location in relation to how your sim is talking to the network. Worst case scenario, you go through a few sim cards before it doesn't happen anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Very location specific. I had zero no sim issued in a 4G rich environment (SLC Utah) but nothing but no sim issues in Clarksville TN.

Now I am simply waiting for the Note 2 to be released at Verizon and I am going to jump ship. Or ask for my early termination to be waived and leave verizon all together. It took me 10 tries without sending a text to get my phone to call Verizon support today. No sim message for 9 of the 10 attempts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] hawke213x:
I recently acquired a Samsung Appeal and no longer need the TILT2 to be an android device.

I can not seem to restore my Tilt2 back to windows mobile. I keep getting a connection error when trying to install a custom ROM... should I restore back to stock? It's an ATT RHOD300 so I'm not sure which stock ROM I should use...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Flashing via SD or USB?

Try the other.

Also, you should be able to download the stock ROM from your carrier's website... assuming they still host the files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] hawke213x:
Neither USB or SD are working...it either doesn't connect with the USB or just says loading... with the SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
Flashing from SD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] hawke213x:
Didn't help, as I am doing these same things...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
Then either you are doing something wrong, or the phone is broken.
[Milestone 2 General] DeLinkiN:
a friend brought me a CLARO milestone 2 Argentina because he was possessed, the touchscreen was a disaster only, or all day was just pressing and there was no way to stop. I got out and as he did not hesitate to put him froyo to Ginger, because I saw it was CLARO the official version, anyway, I did, it was a love, was walking well and better than before, more fluid more consistently say, a beautiful version, the touch was wrong everywhere, tried the angry birds that had the apk here and went great, all was well until I got to the keyboard to call or send sms tab not recognize the touch, that is, if vertical, closed, and I want to dial a phone number, the numbers 2,5,8 and SEND does not touch them, do not squeeze recognizes not know how to say no, but do not walk, I jump to the side, as if he had a hahahaha dome, but it does not go well. I tried putting it on its side, if you use that are not going well is horizontal, or 4, 5 and 6 ... if I want to send messages, do not walk half the virtual keys, the whole area of ​​the ghee and those around, but the rest goes as well, if I use the calculator goes all genius, if I use an application area screen goes as well ... I do not know is a very rare thing and I tried everything, I put ginger, I put another above that which I can not remember what i root CM9 unroot 10 and it turned to official ginger since in all cases I get the same ... I searched all the forums, in spanish in English do not know everywhere, and took two days and I'm going crazy over anyone not know what happened wave ... not hardware before and did not work the other apps rather the keyboard, Ideas?

Of course, if you read this far, thank you.

OFF: I put it here because I think it's firmware if a mod thinks it's wrong or what moves me know, all right. Thank you. Sry for my very poor english I_I
[Milestone 2 General] jonasgitz:
I had the same problem when a got my screen dirty, you may try clean it. I hope it's help...

You can uses the option to show your touch points in the development options, in CM10 has, by there you can try to find a way tô fix the problem
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Mine also creates ghost pressing when the screen is dirty.

Plastic screen covers helps to reduce this a lot, as well as touch failures when charging.

Are you shure thats's not a hardware problem? I never had this problem even when the scree is oil by touch my face. You better check this out.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] muqali:
Will not making the "activation call" on a fresh CM 7.2 install prevent CDMA and/or GSM from working at all? Or will it just prevent Verizon from working?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dermen:
It won't prevent anything. The phone just won't be activate, you will still be able to call 911 and verizon activation anytime after skipping the activation screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] muqali:
Yea, but getting a SIM to work won't happen either will it? I'm not in the US and no matter how high up I stand and reach, I can't "hear you now" :P
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dermen:
If it is unlocked and in GSM mode then I would think it should be able to be activated just like any other unlocked GSM phone. I've never used GSM but I was under the impression the SIM is what is activated, and you can plug it into any phone as long as it isn't locked to a different carrier.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] XAlexander_AlexanderX:
If your using GSM and your phone is unlocked, you should be able to use it without any complications

symlink("/data/etc/wifi/wl1271-nvs.bin","/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin");

If the above line is not there then add it at last of the updater-script before the unmount command.

Zip it up and try flashing

If it doesn't work try replacing updater-script of r6 with r5
