[Motorola Droid Bionic] chackett:
Hi All,

First, I apologize if this has been asked and answered a bunch of times, but I'm in a slightly unique position.

My Droid Bionic had previously been rooted and then became unstable and un-bootable. Through the generous help from others here in the community, I was able to get my phone back into some state of usefulness. During a root attempt, a boot script file had become corrupt or mi-edited. I can't remember which file, but it was a popular screw up .. something like mount.sh or something .. I can't remember.

Anyway, I now have a system that looks like this:

System Version:

5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US

Android Version:

2.3.4

Baseband Version

CDMA_N_04_.07.o2R LTEDC_U_07.1F.00

Webtop Version:

WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-24

Kernel Version:

2.6.35.7-g4fc328e

hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid80#1

Build Number

5.5.1_84_DBN-74

ERI Version

5

PRL Version

15130

However the old root app doesn't work, and while I do have SU installed, sometimes I'll get a statement "The phone is in an unknown state."

Can someone recommend a course of action for me at this point? Can or should I re-attempt a 'back to stock' operation? Should I try and re-flash something else?

I don't care about saving data at this point.

Along the way, I have downloaded and have available the RDSLite5.7 and I have a couple other files:

Blur_Version.5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US

and

VRZ_XT875_5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC.xml

My eventual goal would be to get an OTA update to ICS like my life just got yesterday .. she got 4.0.4, and then root and have tether.

Thanks, and if there's information someone needs to help me, please just let me know.

Chris
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
Search Google house of bionic it will get you to the ICS update very easy just read the whole op and FAQ section.

I think that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much .. speaking of which .. where is the "Thanks" button? I might be too new.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] S2svetko:
I cannot figure out how to turn on auto complete for the Samsung Keyboard. I have looked through the options and I dont see a setting for it.

I like the keyboard because it has the number keys along the top and the one handed mode is nice.

Are there any other keyboards that will display the numbers at the top? I cannot find a way to do it with SwiftKey, Swipe, or the stock JB keyboard. I realize the one handed mode would be more difficult to find in a 3rd party keyboard and is not as important.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] S2svetko:
Predictive text is on

Continous input is checked but is option is greyed out so it cannot be changed. The continous input does not seem to work... It is supposed to be like swipe, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 2747343:
What about auto correct? words dont correct themselves for me, i downloaded the stock jb keyboard from the market and that auto corrects words but it looks huge on the note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] S2svetko:
Yeah, when I said Auto Complete, I guess i meant Auto Correct. I get word suggestions at the top of the keyboard but I have to click them to get them to be used. They don't just automatically get inserted when I hit the space bar and it wont automatically correct stuff like "thats" to "that's"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] S2svetko:
I looked through the internation GN2 forumns and found this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1937440

looks like its just missing as a feature. Call it a bug whatever, sux...

Any suggestions for keyboards that allow you to have the number buttons along the top as well as having auto complete/correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakebake:
mine didn't do this with the galaxy s3 either... predictive text sucks I don't want to have to press the word I want every time. Swift keyboard was awesome on the s3 but like you I want to keep the numbers at the top
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjbrigol:
Yes this has really bothered me! I can't believe it won't auto correct...I went back to swiftkey 3 but had to come back to the default samsung keyboard because having those numbers at the top is just too good to let go...I hope this gets fixed in an update :/

[Motorola Droid Bionic] toy4x4xda:
How can one go about modifying an OTA update? I see there is an updater-script file in-particular that checks the ckecksums of system files before loading the OTA... can this file be modified and what would be the procedure? Thanks in advance.

I'd like to modify the checksum values listed in this file to have it accept certain modified system files... What is used to calculate the checksum values?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] getyroks:
Should be in Q&A. Reported.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] VECTUS:
Moved to Q and A
[Motorola Droid Bionic] toy4x4xda:
I found that sha-1 is used to create the checksums values in the updater-script file. In the assert check_patch lines the first value is the new file and the last value is original file. In the assert apply_patch lines same is true except middle value is size of new file in bytes.

Beyond this it looks as if the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF files in the META-INF folder of your update.zip may be the next obstacle... I know this thanks to jhankinson thread on the topic.

I don't know if jhankinsons solution to simply deleting these and resigning would work on the Bionic? (I'm total noob in this regard.)

Perhaps we can edit the checksum values in these files. I found that in the MANIFEST.MF file checksums are simply SHA-1-BASE64.

Anyone know what is used for the values in the CERT.SF file? (it says it's sha1-digest but i'm using fsum-frontend with no luck getting a match)

And would I need to do anything with the CERT.RSA file? (Again total noob to how these are signed)

We have 3 major works here... So I gonna to make it seperated

-1st post is HOW TO EXTRACT kernel.img (boot.img)

-2nd post is HOW TO CONVERT PICTURE FILE to BOOT.RLE

-3rd post is HOW TO REPACK THE KERNEL PAKAGE into boot.img

Requiredment

-Window machine

-installed cygwin

-the full boot.img/kernel (some kernel won't work because there is no full pakage/ i mean we can't)

-bootimg.zip (tool for UNPACK and REPACK kernel)

-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar

Thank and Credit

i- Credit to DooMLoRD Recognized Developer over most of XPERIA devices for his own tool and tutor that I learned before

ii- Credit to jimbo77 Senior Member for his tutorial that I used and learned and tool for unpack and repack

ii- Don't forget to give them a thanks meter

=============================================================================

Here we go

1-This section I will show u how to unpack and repack the boot.img

just see from original thread by jimbo77 from here and download the UNPACK and REPACK tool by him HERE

this is a fast guide from me:-

1-extract the bootimg-tools.zip into new folder (name it 'boot' folder)

2-move it into cygwin directory (cygwin/boot)

3- move your fav kernel into same directory

4-run cygwin.bat

5-Now, unpack your boot.img by running the following command:

If your output looks like this, then the extraction has worked correctly! Note that the Command Line string has also been read from the source file, this will be used later when you go to re-pack your file.

Your script folder should now look like this:

boot.img-kernel is the compiled kernel blob that was inside the source boot.img, if you want to replace the kernel with another compiled kernel image, you can replace this file with another one (but leave the file name the same)

boot.img-ramdisk.gz is the gzipped ramdisk image which has been split from the boot.img, you should leave this file alone.

The “out” folder contains the EXTRACTED ramdisk, and this is where you should make your changes to the ramdisk.

Important Note!

Remember, when editing files in the ramdisk through Windows, such as init.rc, Windows notepad will not format the files correctly, making them almost impossible to read, wheras Wordpad will LOOK like it is formatting the files correctly, if you save one of these files from the Wordpad application it will BREAK the file and it will no longer be able to be read correctly by Android. To edit these files you MUST use an editor such as Notepad++ which you can download for free.

AGAIN...

Special thanks/credit to jimbo77 for his excellent guide

So.. NEXT step to change a kernel logo is here

Requiredment

1-a picture what are u like to look into the 1st boot screen (kernel logo) (make sure it size/resolution same your device resolution)

2-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar

3-some infos and knowledges here

4-window machine like i explained on 1st post

My quick guide

-extract the tool.rar

-move extracted files into new folder (name it 'rle' folder without quote)

-move into cygwin folder (to make it easy to follow my simple guide)

-copy your own logo.png (a picture u want to use on a kernel) into same rle folder

(for 4 steps above it shold look like tis)

-now launch cygwin.bat

Ah...my mistake..don't forget to move/copy/replace new logo.rle into

C/cygwin/boot/out/ramdisk/here

if you done good...follow next step on next post (to repack your moded kernel)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] nelikp:
Last step before you flash a new look kernel (boot.img) is

Repack your moded kernel

One thing to note that people may mention in other guides, is that when packing boot.img files, you will usually have to declare a base address, and a command line to the packaging tool. This set of scripts reads the existing command line and base address from the boot.img file you originally provided at the time of repacking, so always make sure you leave your original source boot.img file in the folder and do not re-name it after extraction, your newly created boot.img file will be named boot_new.img and will NOT overwrite the original.

Done! If your screen looks like the image above, then you should now have a freshly created boot_new.img file, ready to be flashed to Android for testing, you can now go ahead and flash it through FASTBOOT one thing I'll recommend though is to first do
