Hi I was just wondering could you unroot a phone once you have flashed a rom?

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
i belive you cant unless you flashed the stock one.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] steiff:
I wonder, if it is possible to flash a custom rom without having the phone unrooted before.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Depends on why you want to do it. You could uninstall superuser. That'd stop any app's from gaining root privileges.

And I think would actually remove the files that were added during the rooting process, although I don't know what effect that'd have on your phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] steiff:
Sorry, I haven't read the first post right.

I read: "Hi I was just wondering could you root a phone once you have flashed a rom?" and couldn't believe that it is possible to flash a rom without having rooted the device before.
[General Questions and Answers] BBEG:
Hey guys. My question reads as it says in the title: is it possible to use an Android tablet as a secondary screen for an Android phone? I've seen it done with PCs and Macs, but never with another Android device as the host. It sounds like something that would require USB OTG capability for the phone, but I'm just not sure how to get a tablet to 'receive' or be fed video from a phone.
[General Questions and Answers] BBEG:
Bump.
[General Questions and Answers] BBEG:
Pre Turkey Day bump. Any feedback before the black Friday deals come would be appreciated. :D
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
What do you think? NO.JPG

Having said that, it probably is technically possible if you rewrote all the code on both devices and developed some specialist hardware to interconnect them, but nobody on here it's going to do that as there is no real development benefit in putting all the effort, research and possible damage to phones to achieve it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] editor1:
Hi all,

New to these threads so won't bore you.

I can purchase a few months old TF300 for US$250 in Hong Kong - want to allow my five year old daughter to use it - she already has iPad and iTouch but no Android device.

Anyway, price seems fine but wondering what the hell to do with it - my daughter likes games, movies and general stuff and uses her Apple products a great deal.

Once I get unit, I believe the OS is still stock, should I root and play around or just let her utilise stock version.

Also, and a big worry to me, I'm on a Mac OS ecosystem only and not sure if I can play with this item on a iMac/ Macbook as you chaps can on a PC.

Any help welcome as need to pick-up device on Thursday - will also be getting a new iTouch 64G at quite a good used price point - US$320 - so she can have best of both World's.

By the way, I'm not keen on the iPad basically due to lack of storage options even though I use 64G model.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjy8tim:
she's freaking five year old already with an ipad and itouch ffs. freaking spoiled her already. make her go outside and exercise and run around or just watch tv.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I use an older Macbook Air, it works fine.

When I zip something to pass along mac places extra files in each folder, icon files and .DS_Store file. They don't hurt anything but tend to confuse others. They are hidden in mac but visible in other operating systems. CleanArchiver allows exclusion of these files while zipping, if I remember to use it.

For someone five I believe I'd keep stock rom until she becomes familiar with the differences in Android and Apple. Later you can play and it won't be as confusing when you change roms and things are missing or operate differently. Now it you are buying for your daughter but for you to play with then go for broke.

Take your time and read some threads before making changes and you should be OK.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d-shade:
So I used Lockscreen Policy hoping it will also remove the google now but it only removed the widgets and camera.

I use WidgetLocker with a sense3 slider and I keep hitting the google now icon and has been fairly frustrating.

If you have any tips to remove it that would be great. I am using the stock 4.2 I am rooted and unlocked but I just haven't had the chance to play with other roms yet since this phone actually has been functioning properly unlike my Optimus 3D. But if you know of a rom that this doesn't show up or has the option to remove it I will consider that as well.

[HTC Wildfire S] dadwarf:
Hi,

I bought a Wildfire S "as is" on eBay, the seller said it sometimes show HTC logo and never had water damage.

It boot, i hear sound, it is shown as "E:".

I can boot to HBOOT (it is shown as as "Android composite ADB interface"), by pressing power switch to fastboot (it is shown as "My HTC").

USB debugging is disabled.

I had managed to update with a RUU, but still nothing on screen.

I had updated HBOOT to 1.08.0099 with a PG76img.zip on a SD-Card.

I tried to S-Off it with HTCdev instructions but i can't agree to the last step without seeing anything (choose yes to unlock).

I saw backlight one time.

The LCD looks good.

Could it be hardware related problems ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nappa32:
Hello

I was wondering if people knew of ways to make the screen be more responsive. I have already tries some apps I found in the forum but wihtout any success. I have the 16GB non-3g edition; Any help or guidance would be helpful.

What I'm looking for is actually a good response in sketching applications. I notice that the rendering on screen seems to follow behind a part of a second. using a pen that looks like a pensil's eraser at the top
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
I seriously doubt if it is the screen. Your sketching program can't keep up. Try overclocking.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nappa32:
any way to boost the levels of pressure the pad can detect ? or any information about what levels of pressure it can detect ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GilaMonster1:
This is my first custom flash off stock. I have actually had some experience flashing due to accidently flashing from LH9 to LG1, which doesn't work. So I had to install TWRP, do a factory reset, root it, and install LH9 from there.

But I plan on trying out CM10 and I have a few question.

A) Can I just flash CM10 in ROM Manager since it is built in?

B) How can I keep my apps, app data, account data, folders,settings...etc? I have both CWM Pro and Titanium Backup Pro installed.

C) Is there anything that is worse in CM10 than Touchwiz?

D) If I don't like CM10, I can go into CWM ROM Manager and just restore my Backup, correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] STROMAS:
To be honest you need to flash it and give a shot and see what you think, everybody loves something different.

Download from the cm10 build from the link in the xda thread and also get the 10/12 gapps.

Boot to recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP!

When you install, you will need to do a full wipe.(Wipe Data/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik/Format System in that order to be safe

Flash the cm10 rom and the flash the 10/12 gapps.

Then Reboot!

And enjoy the goodness!

I love CM10 or AOKP much better than TW, just my opinion.

Hope this helps!:cyclops:

QnA bud. Good to see you're starting to flash tho.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Seedyh:
I've tried many, many ROMs on my S3 but I keep going back to CM10. Even though it's not a stable release for my model it's still awesome :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GilaMonster1:
Couldn't I just use ROM Manager since CM10 in on there and wipe data and cache?

Isn't the CWM ROM Manager backup a Nandroid?

How could I keep my apps and most my data...etc?

I appreciate your help, but I was knew how to do it in that way
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Seedyh:
Use Titanium to backup all your apps & data, boot to CWM recovery take a backup and install CM10 then restore your apps from Titanium, should be that easy!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GilaMonster1:
Yeah, perhaps you guys don't use it, but my question remains. I've backed up using ROM Manager and transferred that image to my PC for an external copy. Couldn't I just install CM10 using ROM Manger as it is supported? Isn't that backup a NANdroid?

Or is it just not preferable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GilaMonster1:
Thanks for any help guys/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GilaMonster1:
Can someone please answer my questions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
rom manager simply boots into recovery for you and makes the backup itself, etc. however, if you want to do more (wipe /system, etc) you need to go into recovery manually and do it.

sent from my I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GilaMonster1:
So basically I should can ROM Manager to upgrade CM10 or restore, but not flash new ROMS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
i'm confused by your wording, sorry. rom manager would be suitable to your needs. it can install a rom for you, but it will only wipe data/factory reset. it will not wipe /system or dalvik cache like so many installation instructions say to do. rom manager can backup your rom and restore your backup.

so yes, you can use it if you choose to, but learning to use cwm would probably be easier in the long run than needing to rely on an app.

How would I keep photo or music that are on my phone's memory? Aren't they in a SD parition?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
they are either on the internal sd card or one that you inserted into your phone. you won't lose any data on those.

Maybe slim cm7 roms might work

As their system space is around 60mb so that we should be able to dual boot but also for some clues and hint check out the root log out or something like that app it divides the Tom into different users exactly like windows and data for each is separate

I have random reboots. As of yesterday, my phone rebooted 3 times. This morning I woke up, luckily before my alarm normally goes off, and notices my phone screen was on, but nothing was actually on the screen. I pressed the power button a few times and nothing happened. I unplugged the phone from the charger, tried it again, and notice the screen flicker, and then reboot. This morning it's already rebooted once.

Most of the time I was in Google Play Store, so I cleared the cache and data, and let it update to the newest version, so hopefully that fixes it. I sure hope I don't have a lemon. I really hope that the phone acting weird doesn't happen again, I can't afford to miss my alarm going off.

Mine has turned off on me twice since I got it. I think I was using bluetooth both times, but I can't be sure. Anyways, the Galaxy Nexus had issues like this when it first came out and the new Windows Phones have rebooting issues as well. I think Google rushed Android 4.2 out, but I'm sure everything will be stable after another OTA or two. That's the worst and best part about having a Nexus. You get brand new software first, so you sometimes feel like a beta tester, but you also get the fixes extremely quickly.

My nexus 4 now on 4.2.2 just randomly rebooted for the 1st time.

I 'm dissapointed. Waited for this OTA for a couple months now for it to just fix this issue and it's still here? :/

I just can't be angry at the device cause i 'm absolutely in love with it. Best device ever made and 4.2.1 (and 4.2.2) are amazingly consistent and stable, but for this issue.

Phone will not recognize sim/ imei "Unknown"/ baseband "Unknown"? *Updated*

Updated title because problem has now changed.

current problem--

Phone is stock, randomly stopped getting signal factory reset phone using keypad, now phone will not recognize sim card, the imei is blank and the baseband is unknown. Tried reseating the sim, and powering on off.

initial problem--

After having a problem free note for some time now it randomly stopped working. I cannot make a call/ text or use data but the wifi works and the phone functions outside of those uses. When making a call I get various errors in the form of Mobile network not available/ Not registered on network and when i go into mobile networking settings> network operators it takes a while when searching and tells me to either try again later or gives me a message "error while searching for networks." When i take the sim out all together I get bars of service but when the sim is in it either gives me a circle with a line through it or a empty signal bar triangle.

I called straight talk customer support as i thought it was a problem with the service and they told me I had a bad sim card. I have since checked the sim in another phone and it works fine. I have tried multiple working sims in other phones and no luck in mine. The phone appears to be recognizing the sim as the apn settings are adjusting based on what sim i put in. I have tried to take out the battery, take out the sim, factory restore but nothing seems to work. I have also checked the imei number online to see if it was blocked or something and it said it was not. I took it to a local phone repair shop but after toying around with it for a hour they didn't know what was wrong, so here i am, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. thanks.
