I'm feeling kinda stupid..

Can somebody give me the right link for downloading Heimdall One-click w/root? For some reason I'm not able to get any to work on this computer.. I downloaded the ink provided labeled UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL on

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25526643&postcount=2

but am unsure if that actually is the one containing Heimdall or just the rom i'm flashing or both.. I'm extremely sorry about my noobishness of just posting all these already answered questions. I've gone and confused myself and have like ten tabs with different threads open :o please don't hate me. I have a bad habit of asking questions.. :p

Oh and what apps do i need on my phone in order to flash? And I mean absolutely need. I've also noticed that most threads say to format my mounted sd card But i really dont want to do that if i dont need to.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
:confused: It should all be bundled together. Heimdall is a java based interface so it should just open up. Sorry, it's been a long time and I'm an Odin person!

You don't need any apps on your phone. When you flash, everything on the small partition will be wiped (apps, app data, etc). Flashing will not usually wipe your pictures, videos etc. but it's always a good idea to back up. For now, don't worry about formatting anything. When you get to ICS, you'll need to format as it says in the instructions. Otherwise, if it works, don't fix it!

When you flash ICS and JB, all you need to do is to put the zip files on to your internal SD card (not the one you can take out). You can then flash from CWM (which will already be on your phone - don't download Rom Manager).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treyserits:
Once again thank you all. I'm running GB and loving it. My fiance is shocked at how much help I needed though usually I'm the person everyone comes to with their tech issues LOL. But I absolutely did not want to mess my infuse up. I thought I did but the issue was such a noob mistake that I had to smack myself in the face at my stupidity. Forgot to unzip the cwm ect folder I downloaded. XD not sure I'm ready to try ICS or JB yet though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
The odd thing is you could have updated to GB through AT&T and used mini kies. But at least you are now rooted and able to go to ICS and JB.

Read the instructions on the next step before moving on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treyserits:
Kinda wish I would have done it that way... I wanted to get some practice flashing roms tho. And now my phone is bootlooping, computer says the device is incompatible I can only get into the samsung recovery even tho the rom i flashed had cwm packaged in. I tried to change my boot animation following the steps provided in my boot animation thread then again with the steps in tsqers rom thread I apologise if thats mispelled. I tried updating from sd but get a sign error Can get into download mode but same issue with it being incompatible usb device. I tried holding down the power button for 1 minute and then rebooting no luck there. I tried wiping data/fact. reset,... nothing. I tried wipe cache partition,...still looping.

The loop samsung screen two seconds, black screen 1 1/2 seconds,... over and over and over...

My battery is full. Any advice???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Which ROM did you flash and which CWM recovery can you see (which version)?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treyserits:
I used the http://xdaforums.com/show...43&postcount=2 thread to get the rooted rom UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treyserits:
Saved I think.

So I finally Got it to connect to my comp and re-flashed the rom can i get a link to an ICS heimdall one click package to flash before restoring anything and this happening again?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
You should be able to find it on the ISET page.

[LG Optimus Black] tramp20:
Hi,

Since 4 days I cannot make valid backups. The last good one is from October 12 and has a size of ~ 1000MB.

Now all backups have a size of ~13 MB. You can see the sizes on the attached hardcopy.

There is a \blobs\-subdirectory with many many files.

I tried to de- and reinstall the Rom Manager, checking permissions and so on, rebooted several times...

I restored the "good" backup, did a new backup and got other sizes of the files but always some with the extension .dup.

Even I installed an older version of RomManager without success.

The recovery system is v6.0.1.4 installed within the RomManager.

I have a LG-P970 with Zeus ROM 7.03.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
You might wanna flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22121547&postcount=22

Follow the instructions give there. The new CWM v6 doesnt make full backups anymore everytime, but just backs up the parts, that have been changed. The dup files only contain the information about the files that have been changed and a link to them I think. Look in /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs. There you can find a lot of folders with the made changes ;) Just check the size of that blob folder.
[LG Optimus Black] tramp20:
Thank you for answering.

So is it correct that I have a blobs subdir with ~ 1GB files and a small backup directory?

What happens to the \blobs\ dir if I make new backups? I assume then only changed files etc. will be added here?

Do I really need to flash your link if I don't need touch? I read the whole thread :)

I did not understand all.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
The link I provided is for CWM touch 5 only. This version will make the "normal/full-sized" backups. I think you're right about the new update, but I gotta confess, I dont really understand it myself yet... I also didnt yet try to restore such a backup and dont really know, how to delete old ones, if you dont need them anymore, but I hope it all should work fine ;)

If your not sure about the old version, just install the one from the link I provided.

Hope it helped you, if not, you may also PM me.
[LG Optimus Black] tramp20:
To test:

I made a backup, installed a new app, then after another backup I looked in the blobs dir: only a few subdirs are new, all other remain unchanged.

So all files in blobs are cumulative and important for a restore, but bad for a later extern backup on my pc.

The old method of CWM was better.

Perhaps I will try the link from you.
[LG Optimus Black] tramp20:
I was trying a backup and found under "choose backup format" the following points:

- dup (default)

- tar

-

So I can choose :)

I did a backup (dup format) and all is working again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wombats inc:
I realized my Nexus 7 is still on 4.1 and it couldn't find the 4.1.1 OTA update. I had rooted but not installed a rom. I can force the Nexus to find the OTA update 4.1.1 by force quitting the framework services app but it doesn't actually install. It goes through the download and reboot but after reboot no 4.1.1 just 4.1. I restored to factory settings but same problem. What gives?!

This is pretty frustrating especially since this is suppose to be the Google flagship tablet. Can't even get its own updates to stick to a factory resetted device.

And of course Google support is nonexistent.

Any suggestions outside of manually installing which I don't really want to do? Is it too much to expect updates to actually install?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Couple of things, do NOT! use the Framework trick, as it causes no end of issues such as Play Store not working etc etc. TRUST ME DONT!

Second of all, if you've rooted, you have a custom recovery and hense cannot install OTA updates.

Do it manually, using the adb commands when connected to your PC.

There is a tutorial on doing it manually in XDA, it took me a couple of minutes, literally, and I kept root and everything was strawberries and cream.

I'll say again, Framework trick may seem good and easy, but it creates more errors than it does good

Hope this helps !
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wombats inc:
Quick question; does factory reset unroot? The only reason I rooted was to get USB host support. But now I use the media importer app I don't have a real need for a root. So if factory reset doesn't unroot, I gotta unroot by the rooting utility? It's a real pain in the butt to have to manually update if I don't need root access anymore. I'd prefer it just update normally since my previous need for a root no longer exists.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
No you will keep Root when factory resetting as it is part of the /system directory.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wombats inc:
I'm having a heck of a time unrooting. Using the tool kit but it won't actually wipe or unroot my device at all. I run through the unlock, flash stock and nothing actually happens.

This is frustrating.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travisdroidx2:
Follow this and fast boot the files with adb. Just follow the commands.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1907796

If you do this you will know what to do and never need a toolkit again. This will bring you to complete stock!

Its really easy. Put your android-sdk on your c drive and there will be a folder that reads platform-tools. Place the files in there and make sure when you open the command prompt you point to the right directory in my case it is c:/android-sdk/platform-tools

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r7s:
Recently I've turned them on and my phone did them only after two reboots I had to do.

Someone said that "automatic updates should take place the moment there's an update available", but those apps certainly don't need to be updated manually, although Android doesn't seem to update them.

So what's exactly the frequency of automatic updates?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacaus:
I think the phone just checks maybe once a day to see if there are available updates to the apps you have installed.

App updates are released by the app developer which can be anywhere from every few days to once a month or so.

You can turn off notifications in the Play store settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r7s:
They're not a problem for me. The problem is that the phone checks for updates, as you say, maybe once a day and tells me that there're updates available, but doesn't update apps, becase I'm not connected to any wifi network. After the phone connects to a network, I have to go to the Play Store and update apps "manually", because the phone does nothing. I wouldn't call it "automatic updates".

Yes, exactly. Hotfile sucks. As well as Kies. So what do we need? Yes, torrents.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
I made this tool originally for SonyEricsson Xperia X10, but have now modified it to work for our Samsung Galaxy S3. I hope it will make life a little easier when modifying files on the device. It uses ADB to pull and push files, change file permissions and much more - so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands! It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software. It has a LogCat function to read and save logs on the go when investigating errors, as well as functionality to decompile/recompile APK, JAR and ODEX files, sign and zipalign APKs, and decompile System images. ADB Shell will be released in v0.6.2.

Instructions:

1. Extract archive.

2. Install LinuxReader to GalaxyS3ModTool\tools\LinuxReader.*

3. Run GalaxyS3ModTool.jar

*This step is only needed for the Decompile System function in the ROM Manager.

Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell.

The application will try to unsecure your shell if you haven't already, but worst case scenario you might have to do this manually.

Also, the manage ROMs functionality is still experimental, and the Recompile System function is disabled. If you know how these processes can be automated, let me know and I will incorporate the functionality.

If you have problems, let me know and I will try to sort them out with you. Keep in mind that often when a modification goes wrong, you can simply push back the original files and reboot. So keep backups handy!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Reserved in case of future expansions.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Saleen NS:

I'll finally be able to modify the ODEX files :victory:

Is it possible to recompile an ODEX file to .odex (not .jar)?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SETdown:
Great tool

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] shahed26:
Great tool. Looks very promising
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Yes modifying ODEX:ed filesystems has become a breeze :) Just remember to remove the original *.ODEX file from your system if you incorporate it into its associated APK or JAR.

As ODEX is a device-specific format, compiled to be most effective on specific hardware, recompiling with baksmali to *.DEX and renaming to *.ODEX is not enough. I don't know of any way to recompile to proper *.ODEX, but I mean it has to be possible, and if anyone knows how - please drop a line here or PM me. However the rule of thumb is to not decompile and incorporate the *.ODEX unless smali-code is being edited. This will allow you to keep the efficiency of the original *.ODEX file, and just replace the APK or JAR - i.e. having no negative effect on performance.

EDIT: Realized there is a way to recompile to *.ODEX on the device via the dexopt binary. Working on implementing the functionality.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Version 0.6.1 is now uploaded in first post!

Updates

:

I have implemented proper ODEX recompilation functionality. However, it requires the device to be connected as the operation has to be performed from within the system and then pulled back out. The tool will let you know when to connect your phone. For the process to be possible, a wrapper for the binary dexopt needs to be pushed to /system/bin - so this is also done programatically.

Some user prompts have been added to make human mistakes less likely. For example if you say you want to decompile an associated ODEX file, you must also specify the framework directory - or nothing will happen.

A fancy automagic script has been added for JAR-decompilation. It turns out since the dex-optimizing of ROMs, some JAR-files don't include a classes.dex file anymore, which makes baksmali.jar cough up errors. But recompiling the ODEX file as classes.dex and inserting it into the JAR makes it decompile properly - so this is what the script has automated when it recognizes the situation.

I have actually rewritten most of the decompilation/recompilation code to execute more efficiently. When time flies and inspiration runs amok, this sadly results in djungle-code. So I had to clear everything up into reusable functions so that nothing is repeated or unnecessary slow.

Happy modding folks! :D

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Hmm sorry I don't know why this is. When I get 4.2 on the S3 I will look into it.

Have you selected an app to backup? It doesn't automatically back everything up if there is nothing selected. Perhaps this should be implemented, or at least some sort of feedback telling the user to select something.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] zat81:
Yes, I selected one...the output is: adb pull "/data/app/com.ebuddy.android-1.apk" "./backup/apps/12-11-22_132833/com.ebuddy.android-1.apk"

6001 KB/s (2329187 bytes in 0.379s)

But no apps in the folder!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
When you load the program, there is usually a popup on your device saying that SU privileges has been granted, you can check the SuperUser app on your device to see which processes are allowed such access.

To check if your shell is unsecured, open ADB Shell and type

ls -l /system/bin/sh

If it says "-rwxr-xr-x", your shell is still secured. The program should've fixed this, but if it hasn't you can do it manually by entering

chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] zat81:
It says lrwxrwxrwx....I unsecured the shell yesterday! ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Sorry but I can't replicate the problem. Judging by the output though, it seems that ADB manages to fetch the file. Perhaps it is not able to write to your disk for some reason. Are you able to pull files from the filesystem?

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Great. Are you still experiencing the problem?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] zat81:
Now I can explore the data folder, but nothing happens with the app backup feature...no backups in the folder :(

Sorry to invade this post. I would just like to have confirmation on my device and it's pretty similar to what is found here. The only way I can access download mode is by pressing Q+Power and then adding the battery. Odin connects to everything, I can even flash the firmware from Bell for my Galaxy gt-i5510M and it PASS. But I can't still power it up, is the motherboard or something similar dead?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
If your device can still access download mode and Odin can successfully connect to your device an flash the firmware your device's motherboard is not dead. Try re-flashing the firmware to your device and checking auto-reboot option in Odin this way when the firmware finishes flashing the device will automatically reboot and hopefully power on then.
