Yep, was a nice win for it being a simple grab.

Just be mindful: there are boot loader, modem and other dangerous partition images contained in it. Also, there is an updated baseband for the ATT varient. May need to dual-package, one for ATT, one for Canadian.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Major.Mayhem:
Ya I spoke to soon. Many apps that require root (not all) are reporting I do not have root./ I have superuser but ....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ropucha:
I upgraded mine via LTE and lost root.When running root zip from SD card I get"E:signature verification failed"I guess it is not the WiFi.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Major.Mayhem:
At the time mine was upgraded they said it would only update threw wi-fi. Apparently this is an issue with what AT&T is pushing. They reinstall the default Recovery and lock out CWM Reconvery.

The only way around this is to load the JB Odin image. however even with JB and CMR I COULD NOT GET ROOT. I was forced to push back to ICS to get root and even then I had a few issues to overcome.

Unfortunately just a few hours after getting every thing fixed AT&T decided to really Push JB OTA.

One note is the pushed version of JB is just under 400mb. The Odin image is over 1gb and ICS Odin Image is just over 2gb.

Again I'm not very experianced with this stuff I just took a crash course on Android Debug Bridge.

on ICS I could easily gain root and set up tethering ... I can do neither in JB.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
I just got my hands on a fresh ICS setup for the I-547 from ATT today. Upgrading via OTA is nuking recovery on the first full boot. If you flash recovery via ODIN and set it to not auto-boot you can boot into CWR/TWRP. I am working on finding the culprit that is nuking recovery on boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
Might be boot loader?

Several other recently upgraded phones had the same problem. The Verizon d2 and Note2 are having serious issues. I just ran into one with the Galaxy Tab 2 LTE variants with their upgrade.

Mine is safe, but some people ran into issues that could be fixed by the method you described above.

I haven't had troubles with the ATT Note2 LTE yet. However, I am not ballsie enough to try.

Wonder if they switched some of the unknown partitions around? I mean we have like 20 of them unknown.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
I got past the current "reset back to stock recovery" problem and I'm onto root "not working". I can get root via adb shell but in none of the apk's. I noticed the developer option to allow shell/apk root access is missing and I wonder if something funky is going on there. Any ideas how I could set that setting by hand?

Edit:

Spoke too soon. New error :)

Edit 2:

Some trickery with pushing the sqlite3 binary from CM10 seems to have gotten it to execute. Time to figure out if this may fixup the "no root for you" problem.

Update

I managed to get persistent root and persistent recovery this morning on the ATT JB update. The official, OTA one. I'll be publishing packages and instructions shortly.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
I got it nailed down but I have the name of the script that auto-replaces recovery written down at home. It is under /system/etc and is something like install-recovery.sh or similar. If I had the name of that script I could finish the update.zip that will yield persistent recovery and root.

Unroot after OTA upgrade?

First off, thanks for all of the information. I managed to Root my Canadian (Telus) Rugby Pro, with no problems. I had previously done a Coby tablet and an HTC Desire, but that was a couple of years back.

My phone is currently running Ice Cream Sandwich, and I suspect that there is, (or will shortly be) an OTA upgrade offered to Jelly Bean. I've done some searches but have not come to a definitive answer about the phone Un-rooting after an upgrade.

Has anyone had any experience with this? If the phone does Un-root, is it then just a mater of repeating the same Root process?

I'm a bit disappointed that the Rugby Pro does not seem to allow Apps to be moved to the SD card, even after a Root. That, and Titanium Backup were the only two reasons I went through this.

Thanks again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
You can manually unroot by reversing the bits that are in the update.zip updater-script. One problem: the OTA will likely include updates for recovery which will cause it to fail. I'd recommend using ODIN to revert back to stock (sammobile has firmwares for the Canadian ROMs), apply the OTA and then use the JB root method that I recently published for the ATT version.

If you run into any issues rooting a JB OTA please post back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leej5387:
I will probably just stay with ICS on this phone. It does everything I want, with the exception of a few things that I miss my Froyo HTC Desire, such as profiles (for screens) and email widgets that show the number of unread messages. Both of which are HTC "things", and not something I would gain by moving to Jelly Bean.

So...I'll sit tight, and move on to a new phone in a few years.

Soft-bricking/loop screen

Hi all,

I could really use some help.

I'm trying to root my phone and install the photosphere feature from 4.2 onto my rugby pro. I'm using the photosphere to create a sort of google-street view tour of a trail I'm planning for my undergrad thesis.

I've done all of the steps as best as I know how, but at the very end, I always end up with a loop screen. I just see the samsung logo and then the rethink possible screen. I can reset the phone back to normal conditions....losing all my apps and settings (don't care too much since I've only had the phone for a while). But I need to get this phone rooted and get photosphere on here.

So I will try to narrow it down and let you guys know where I may be messing up.

Step 1. Install drivers from link below. Here I have some issues because even though i install the drivers the computer only recognizes the device until I pull it out. Before I plug in the rugby pro again, I have to reinstall the drivers.

Download necessary packages (clockwork recovery, root update) from the links below

Copy root update to your devices sdcard(s) -- Copy to both if external SD card is present-I only copy the root update to the external sd card. Is this causing me an issue? I am scared of putting it on the phone itself.

Select the comanche file-this comanche fiile is being selected from the computer, not the phone....correct?

Make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are selected

Click start- I get a pass in ODIN, but the phone does not reboot after flash is complete. I waited at least fifteen minutes the first time I did this.

Power off your phone-have to pull battery because this is where the looping starts

Select "Install zip from sd card"

Select "Choose zip from sd card"

Navigate to zip

Select zip

Confirm

Reboot-results in looping screen.

please email me at as2003 AT txstate DOT edu if you can help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
Which Rugby Pro do you have? Given some of the information you posted I'm assuming ATT, but I want to be sure. If it is the ATT varient, are you running 4.0 or 4.1? The procedure outlined here will only work on the 4.0 firmware images. The super thread has more information and updated procedures if you are on 4.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2006388

What you posted sounds like some of what people ran into with the 4.1 release from ATT.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spurlinandrew:
You are probably right!

I'm on AT&T 4.1, so i probably need to be doing something differently.

Question is, what is it?

Do I simply need a different recovery image?

Like the one you linked in the super thread

TWRP 2.4.1.0 Recovery Image (KemoNine): comanche_twrp_recovery_2.4.1.0.zip (update.zip)

Please be patient with me...I'm generally not computer savvy and I also dont know where Ill find the updated procedures you're talking about in the 10+ pages of the thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
You definitely want the rooting procedure from the Super thread.

The super threads first 5 posts outline the various procedures, available options and the like for rooting, updating recovery and / or custom ROMs. The 1st post of the thread has links that will take you to the set of information you want. I try to keep everything that you need/want in the first 5 posts of the thread with links to external content as appropriate. If someone posts new information that is helpful I try to link to it from the earlier posts as well. This way you don't need to go digging through 10+ pages of discussion to find what you are looking for.

In this case you'll want this (clickable) from the super thread. It outlines the procedure for rooting on 4.1. I also recommend installing the latest TWRP update.zip after you have successfully rooted your device. The new versions of TWRP include a number of new features and speed improvements over the older versions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spurlinandrew:
Confusion

Kemonine,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34463244&postcount=2

this is the same procedure I used. Does this mean I'm using the wrong files or something?

Only difference I see in the procedure is not selecting auto reboot.

should the cwmr_root.zip be the same everywhere on the web? (and when I put it on the sd card, should it be zipped or unzipped)?

Secondly, which recovery image(s) do I need in the third post on the Super Thread?

The superthread says something about childrenofthehorn and the ATT variant... does that mean I can only use his? The names of both of the files he has start with stock...which is not what I thought I was trying to do.

At the end of all this, if I finally get my phone rooted, you will be my absolute hero. But I'd still have one favor to ask. Help me understand this process intuitively. Understand exactly what I'm doing to the phone. Anyway, let's focus on the issue at hand.

I'm not trying to do anything too fancy to my phone other than root it (and not effect its performance/ability to find wifi or connection to 4G), and get jelly bean 4.2's photosphere function.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kemonine96:
That is the big difference, if you auto-reboot in 4.1 you can cause problems. Also, the cwmr_root.zip file has changed in order to properly root your device under 4.1. There are some big differences in 4.1 that cause problems for the original root method.

You want the one from the super thread. The older root zips for 4.0 will not work under 4.1.

It should be zipped. You won't be able to select it otherwise.

You will want to install the most recent TWRP version.

No, her recovery/odin images are for those that want to go back to stock or to run CWMR Touch.

The overview of the root procedure for a comanche running 4.1 is:

Factory flash (ODIN) a custom recovery image

Reboot directly into recovery image

Flash the update.zip file that roots the phone (cwmr_root.zip in this case)

Reboot

Enjoy

I've taken care of all the hard parts of the rooting process in the cwmr_root.zip file. If you are curious what the root method ultimatley does, unpack the zip file and skim through the update-script file that is unpacked (it is somewhere in a folder, I forget which offhand). The update-script defines what needs to be done in order for root to be maintained.

There is a little more to the whole procedure like figuring out what needs to be done to build a custom recovery, keep root, etc and are a topic for after you get root working ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spurlinandrew:
Success?!

I believe I did it.

I downloaded the root checker app and if that means anything, then I do have root access.

Now I'm just trying to figure out this photosphere port process. haha

THANK YOU SO MUCH KEMONINE

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyzor:
If this is true that would be a nice upgrade from the galaxy nexus. Can you point to the source of this info? Too many smartphone reviewers just compare images as a whole, mostly comparing default exposure & saturation settings. Real camera comparisons should be more like digital camera reviews, looking at 100% sections for noise under low ISO and high ISO. Also whether the picture is sharp from corner to corner. Everything else is software magic.

[HTC Desire X] almanbrother:
For my son I bought a htc desire x, with stock rom android 4.0.4.

My son has a mentally deficient, so the phone must be as easy as it can be.

I have made one homescreen with only images with members of the family and with Desktop VisualizeR I made direct calls when he pushes the images.

The last thing I cannot manage is to disable the lockscreen. His fine motorics isn't good enough for it when he gets a call that he has to move the ring to the phone-icon.

So my question is can anybody tell me if there is a possibility to disable the lockscreen, so when he pushes the powerbutton the main screen is on and not the lockscreen?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
I'm sorry but i didn't find any way to do that, and maybe to make the phone even easier, is to turn on text-to-speech mode, so when ever your son will press something, the phone will say what the button dous.

Hey Guys,

i'd like to introduce the first and only indie mediaplayer for android - dreamZMP3!

dreamZMP3 was first released in February 2012 and has been improved since permanently. The current version (1.2.7) is almost bugfree but still gets improved updates weekly.

The basic idea of dreamzMP3 is that user can co-decide on the further development process and can contribute their ideas.

For this purpose there will soon be the forum back online (i got some problems with my subdomainhoster, deleting my last forum, so there will be a "real" domain hosted) where users can discuss and suggest features.

At this time there is just the Facebook-Page online where this can be done.

Further more there will also be the Dev-Blog back online on Tumblr this time, where i'll document the development process.

If you'd like to support me in developing apps for android (i've plenty of game ideas :)) i would be delighted if you have a look on dreamZMP3 (the Beta Version is FREE).

Was lagging and force closed several times on SGSIII running JB. Plus it needs to read folders.
[Android Apps and Games] MiKe7774:
Hmm, sounds strange... If you can tell me where it force closes i'll have a look at the code. Normally it should not lag on a SGSIII because the SGSIII CPU should handle dreamZMP3 with no problems (the weakest test device i use is a Xperia X8 with 600 Mhz). I'm still working on a Folder Browser and probably implement a "alpha folder browser" (a simple file browser) in one of the next updates (would be complicated implementing a Folder Browser in the existing MediaBrowser).

Hello

I thought i would share my music experience on the note so far. LIke most i was gutted with the sound quality of the note compared to SGS1 and voodoo sound and poweramp

I still have my sgs1 and have been using it when i know i will be stuck on a train for a while or somewhere where i know i will be listening to music for an extended period. The difference to me when listening to the sgs was that almost every other song made you sit up and notice it rather then just listen to it. Which to me made it significantly better as i just enjoyed listening more.

Long story short. i am on rooted stock firmware 4.04. I have installed the beats audio files and i believe this did make the phone sound marginally better. I have also now installed the voodoo louder app which again has made a difference to the sound(presume because its just made it louder)

The final piece of the jigsaw was neutron music player. I have tweaked eq to my liking to suit my headphones, switched dither on, set resampling mode and switched 64 bit processing on.

Now i think the sound is actually preferable to my sgs. (blasphemy i know :P ) I wont bore you with exotic description about soundstage and presence and seperation. It just sounds good and i am now prepared to leave my sgs1 at home when i am listening to music.

Obviously the above requires a rooted phone and buying voodoo louder. you can download a trial of neutron player. but if you follow the above then i am pretty sure that you will end up buying it. I did pretty quick.

tested with sennheiser hd595, sennheiser HD215, and Audio Technica ATH-WS50. Its made the latter particulary pleasing sounding as they are my usual travelling headphones.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Guster730:
Just curious, not trying to advertise or anything. I've got the AT&T One X(L), i've got the original box, and everything that came in the box. (cables, sim card tool thing etc). It's rooted, bootloader unlocked, and I think I can unlock it for other carriers (?). It's in pretty good condition, the only problem is a small scratch on the plastic or glass (whatever it is) over the camera. It doesn't obstruct the lense at all though, pictures can still be taken perfectly. It's only noticeable at certain angles under a light. If I were to sell it, I'd probably throw in my two cases as well, Otterbox commuter and casemate tough case. I've seen some on ebay for around $300 but considering the scratch, I'm not sure what people would pay for mine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Try $300-$400.

Why would you want to sell this bad boy? Is it the 16GB storage?

For me, that's a small price to pay for what this phone offers.
