I'm surprised this thread is still going.

I've had this phone for quite a while now and I'm happy with it. I notice that it really only gets hot for me when it has a weak signal. If I have good signal or go 2g when out of cell service, the phone stays cool and battery life doesn't go down the drain.

Download flashtool ,download one of the available firmwares available in the development section(.55 is the latest)

Open flashtool ,Power off your phone , hold down vol. down and connect to usb port of your pc/laptop , drag the downloaded firmware and drop it on the flashtool , a new window will open , click proceed and the flashing procedure will start....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kiiiiiid:
I did it but when I am trying to drop the firmware which is zip file, it says "you can only drop ftf files"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HeXacoRe0:
^^^

unzip the zip file with 7-zip/winrar . you will get a ftf file. flash that using the latest flashtool. hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kiiiiiid:
yeah thanks. Since I have mac and it didn't work but anyhow I used another tft file and now it's back to stock rom. at least it turns on ;)

Now I have to root it again and install the CFW.

Thank you all for great helps.

i have an Xperia Neo V with MIUI ROM v2.11.23 ported by sdk16420 ..Its an awesome ROM :D..but the problem is that i cant apply most of the themes...

I have followed every instruction properly ...even created a /data/system/theme folder...but the result is the same..themes are either not applied or cant be imported.! Also when I apply a Lockscreen theme ...it reverts back to a original slider down lockscreen :confused:

Any help will be highly aprreciated.!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DFKT:
Hi guys,

I was just curious, if any of you have been experimenting with XBMC for Android yet? This weekend, it reached a new milestone with the release of Beta 3: http://xbmc.org/natethomas/2012/12/08/xbmc-12-frodo-beta-3/

Now I've had an early alpha release on my (then stock) tablet. Last week I installed CleanROM (2.7.2) and this weekend I've installed beta 3 on top of that. The interface is running smoothly, but there are some problems with add-ons (dependancies not met?). I can play SD quality movies, but it crashes when I try to play 720p quality or better.

Anyone else experiencing crashes? I've looked at the forums of XBMC.org, but there aren't many 300T XBMC users as far as I can tell...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vidfreek:
Just installed it, linked to my current xbmc library on my media PC and it streams my movies but they are unwatchable even at 720p, thought this should handle playback fine for 720p but its so choppy, I'm running energy rom, and nothing crashes its for me just really bad playback and the app itself likes to freeze up too just going through the menus
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kageyb:

"Note: Hardware video decoding support is very limited right now, so most devices will have to use software decoding. Expect support for hardware decoding to improve with time."
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DFKT:
Just installed release candidate 1 (RC1). 720p now plays (choppy), however after terminating playback XBMC also crashes...

I guess there's still a lot to be done on the Android version (also taking comment above in consideration).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
The 'manual' process may not work anymore. I believe supersu apks are getting picked up for compliance. There are a few more manual ways listed in this thread that may or may not work for you but you are welcome to try them.

MANUAL PROCESS

If the script process is too complicated for you and you want to do things manually, you can do this as well. It is a pain though and more prone to getting the handheld disabled by good because of user error (forgetting to do something).

The key to this way is that gfe doesnt appear to detect supersu apk and does detect superuser apk. Not sure how long this will last! :) ymmv

You can install supersu, open it and let it authorize. Then rename /system/app/Superuser.apk to super_user.rob since its not needed anymore and let supersu do the authorizations.

Then install "app quarantine" from the market or titanium backup. These apps let you freeze and unfreeze the gfe app so you can bounce between a rooted and unrooted phone. (hint: there are widgets for this in titanium and app quarantine that are much more convenient)

If pre_JB, Install "permissions denied" (in app store) to remove the some of the permissions from the app. specifically you must remove

READ_LOGS

The process is as follows once the above is complete and gfe is installed and you want to use gfe:

FROST GFE(reroot)

open gfe and go into preferences and select "disconnect" and then select shutdown good. VERY IMPORTANT TO DISCONNECT AND SHUTDOWN from within the GOOD app. Do NOT just hit the 'HOME' button and reroot. It WILL detect that it has been frosted and unfrosted if you do not follow this advice

immediately open supersu app and go to settings and select "enable supersu" to reenable root.

open app quarantine (or titanium) and freeze good so it won't autostart.

You can now use the rooted phone like normal.

when you want to use gfe, temp unroot as follows:

UNFROST GFE(temp unroot)

using titanium or app quarantine defrost gfe.

immediately open supersu and go to settings and uncheck "enable supersu". the will hide the su binary and temp unroot.

open gfe and use it like normal.

once done using gfe, refrost it like above

this works very well but ymmv. The scripted method works

much

better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fallon:
Finally had success getting GFE running a recent CM10 nightly on my AT&T SGS3 thanks to calisro. Thanks for figuring out a good work around to enable GFE! It looks like my issues this go around were with Permissions Denied & me doing some uninstall-re-install of GFE.

My process (tweaks to calisro's stuff mostly):

Uninstalled ES explorer (just to make sure it is not causing issues for now)

Installed GFE

Installed Script Manager (I've since upgraded to Script Manager-SManager(NoAds), always a good idea to support the devs)

Installed Permissions Denied

Installed su as /sdcard/rob_su

Opened Permissions Denied and disabled the following permission for the Good Application: READ_LOGS and RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Rebooted from within Permissions Denied, checked & verified Good had the 2 permissions in question denied

Created the 3 scripts using the updated versions recently posted

setup_rootdoor.sh

enable_good_disable_root.sh (complete with the missing final line noted above)

disable_good_enable_root.sh

With Script Manager, ran setup_rootdoor.sh

Deleted all data for GFE through app manager

With Script Manager, ran enable_good_disable_root.sh

Activated GFE

Working GFE

Notes:

Permissions Denied takes FOREVER to startup, several minutes at least & you repeatedly see it getting root permissions, at first I thought it was having issues, but I guess that's normal behavior

No need to "Lock Permissions" within the Permissions Denied app from what I've seen

Under Developer Options "Root access" is irrelevant, GFE is working just fine with it set to "Apps and ADB right now"

GFE seems to be sucessfully cleaned up by deleting app data from within app manager

GFE will work fine by wiping app data & initializing it with a new PIN if you get things cleaned up after a policy violation

No need to get an unlock code from your sysadmins after a policy violation, just wipe app data for GFE & get a new PIN (assuming you have access to a website to request a new PIN

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
FYI, I simplified the install with a flashable zip and some modifications to the scripts so that the work they do is dynamic rather than hard coded.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
Discovered that the new Script Manager is potentially causing policy compliance issues. See the op for alternative or older version of script manager.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fallon:
Does it only trip when you use it? I think I saw Script Manager update a couple days ago, but haven't had any problems yet. Then again I haven't needed to mess with SM at all since then or even engage root for anything since I got GFE working on CM10 a week or so ago.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
I'm having it fail compliance by simply having it installed. I've gone through and upgraded, tested, downgraded, tested, etc for a number of times to be sure and it keeps tripping as soon as it is used once. I've even installed it,denied superuser for the app, then used connectbot to actually run the script and it still failed. As soon as I go back to older version it works flawlessly again.

I'll be interested if yours' trips when toggle root and good once again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blackspp:
De easiest way to perform tasks that require root is to use chainfire's exynos exploit apk to acquire root and when you're done use supersu to unroot.

Make sure you stop de GFE service before rooting! I just did this and GFE really stops working as I rooted, cleaned up my new polish Note 2 4.1.2. rom, unrooted, booted and used GFE like before, no policy violations.

Whatever you do, do not boot before you unrooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
I wouldn't call that the easiest but to each their own.

While that may work for some people for a short time, it doesn't address a lot of things:

1) Doesn't work with superuser since Good detects the superuser apk and doesn't detect supersu yet. Detection of supersu will be added to Good at some point since its use is being coming more prevalent.

2) That exploit will be addressed soon since it affects millions of hand sets. Samsung will close the exploit and AOSP/AOKP will also address the exploit. So it will be useful for a short time only.

3) It only works for Samsung exynos based handsets only. My method is generic.

4) Requires reboots to bounce back and forth between root and unroot. Would be tiresome to do this many times a day.

5) if you reboot while your rooted, you'll get policy breaks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] IT Rider:
v6 works great. the new method of CWM installation of scripts makes it very easy. i used the free autorun app "autorun manager" to disable the receiver flags of GFE.

the only annoyance that really is not bad is that when GFE is disabled, the shortcuts/widgets i have are removed since the app is hidden. a very acceptable price to pay considering my company has the "root" compliance turned on. this at least gives me access to email w/o rebooting when needed.

Thanks for all the work!

Good unrooted

Hi,

I've tried lots of different options, being a complete noob at this unrooting malarkey.

Having had a nightmare rooting, I finally managed it, only for Good to then not work because it was rooted.

I finally managed it thus: Downloaded the paid for version of SuperSU. Selected the 'clean up for complete unroot option', downloaded GFE, and self served a new pin, installed Good, went through the setup steps, et voila!

Have rebooted a couple of times and it's still working. Fingers crossed.

Galaxy S3 i9300 with a nightly build of CyanogenMod 10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.

Not sure if it'll keep working, but I really hope so!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
If you completely unrooted it should be fine but now you don't have root unless you reflash. :) The point here was to offer a way to temp unroot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bestbaldmanever:
*hangs head in shame for being a dumbass* :eek:

That said, it's no biggie to reflash with CF Root whenever I need Root. Which won't be very often I can't imagine... I've had the phone six months and only flashed it cos I got so frustrated with TouchWiz and the horrendous lag I was getting.

The SGS3 is my work phone; I'm an iOS boy for all my personal stuff (sorry!), so I'm quite used to operating without Root access! ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wc4482:
But the scripts in the OP didn't work for you? What problems did you have?

I understand if it ain't broken don't fix it, but I'm also a noob and was able to get this working- the best of both worlds now! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bestbaldmanever:
Truth be told, i'm not sure what happened. Flashed the ROM, installed connectbot, ran the scripts; nothing happened. Searched for the scripts in system/xbin but couldn't find them.

This was at the end of two days of battling with connection problems with Odin, phone getting stuck in Download mode, SD card not being recognised with the nightly build of CM 10.1 I was using, and a few other things.

I could probably have made it work, but being as my primary goal was to get rid of TouchWiz and all the Vodafone clag on the phone, that has been achieved.

At some point in the future, i might have another go. But as I'm someone who loves technology but isn't a techie, the instructions on most of these blogs are a bit difficult for my small brain to follow.

That's obviously my problem, not anyone else's, but it takes me a while to penetrate the language and understand what people mean. So, unless I really, really need to be switching back and forth between root and no root, I'll probably leave well alone for a while now.

Thanks, though, to everyone who is clearly a lot, lot cleverer and more persisten than I am for making all this wonderful stuff available.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
The scripts are doing their job. I dont see any missed apks or su binaries.

1. make sure the script manager you are using is the APK from this OP. I have seen other script manager versions get policy breaks

2. Take a look at your supersu app and all the apps listed that have been granted superuser. I would suspect one of those are starting at boot and are keeping a root deamon running which can be triggered. They aren't closing after they run. You may need to figure out which one is causing it. If you give a list of the superuser granted apps, I can take a look and we can rule out both known 'bad' ones and 'known okay ones.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calisro:
Then use connectbot. Not trying to be mean here but the OP explicitly talks about newer versions of script manager yet you still attempt to use it and then come for help when you get policy breaks. I like helping but not for things that have been addressed in the OP.

Try running it in connectbot with script manager uninstalled and like I said, your going to have to narrow down which of your root apps is retaining root after the phone is temp unrooted. If we can figure out which one it is, I can potentially add some termination statements for that app in the scripts so that it will kill them. Sometimes that works.
