nope... i uninstall already. :(

sorry, i didnt boot my phone into download mode.

i will try again. and , now i want to flash CWM with Odin right, is that gonna erase all the data in my phone like contact, message and other ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
no flashing recovery only changes recovery and doesn't affect anythn else :)

press thanks if i help you :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] To7aL:
I have the same problem. I installed Kies, but the Windows 8 dont see my mobile in download mod and usb mod too. I cant move file between the pc and the mobile, and i cant use odin to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iBlueee:
I'm pretty sure that's a windows 8 problem, try compatibility mode or something? i have no idea how to fix it because it should be a driver and windows 8 problem. Or else you just have to use another computer and flash cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
smthn that may help with windows 8

1st make sure adb is off at the phone settings then connect it to the pc and at the pc control panel , search for new hardware
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rho90:
i see.. thanks ya.. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] To7aL:
What is adb, and where can i turn it off?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I read in another device's forum that KIES drivers are not compatible with Windows 8, yet.

But that doesn't affect me, because:

1. I install CWM using the 'dd' method instead of Odin, and

2. I copy files to and from my phone using Airdroid or Samba Filesharing.

3. I have no plans of ever going back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
adb is in development settings which i can't actually remember where it is cuz i haven't used the stock for a while but ill assume its under app settings

but after ur question i guess uve never turned it on so just connect it normally

the fact that it shows as a portable media player is normal: that's what it shows for me when it's either rooted or stock. you should be able to click on it and see 2 storage options your internal storage and the SD card.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegh0sts:

Drivers Problem

This frequently happens to my computer so I know how you feel.

To solve this problem,

1. Go to devices and printers.

2. Click on your S3 device, it should be there.

3. Look at the bottom of the window

4. If it says that the device needs troubleshooting, right click the device and select troubleshoot.

5. Wait for troubleshooting to complete

6. Your SD Card and Phone memory should now pop up on your computer.

Unfortunately i have not been able to find a permanent workaround for this problem. So this solution has to be applied everytime you connect your phone to the pc.

Hit thanks if i helped you!:D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] peshovec:
I'd like to share my 2 cents about preserving root in the case of not unlocked bootloader .

Let me describe my case:

I was on ics some version before 6.1.e.3.7 which is the latest for ion.

After rooting (thanks bin4ry) i did not delete /data/local.prop , instead i just commented the ro.kernel.qemu line

the side effect of this, was that the permission of /data/local.prop becomes rw-rw-rw (e.g. everyone can write it)

Additionally i made a backup (e.g. tar) with the needed for rooting files and put it on the /mnt/sdcard/

So far so good.

After update-ing to 6.1.e.3.7 i loose my root. Luckily i was able to uncomment the ro.kernel.qemu line in /data/local.prop (as it was with rw-rw-rw permissions).

Then i discover, that the new kernel from 6.1.e.3.7 (which actually is not new, just the initramfs is new) did not parse the /data/local.prop file.

So i grabbed the 6.1.e.2.68 ftf, and flashed just the kernel (i repeat just the kernel) via Flashtool (thanks bin4ry and ...).

remark: as i tried to said it above, the kernel is not just the kernel himself, but also some initramfs filesystem.

Now the "old" (from 6.1.e.2.68) init parsed the /data/local.prop file and i was root :)

then just de-tared my previous backuped tar with root files (it is equivalent to put superuser.apk and su binary in place and setting the right permissions).

After that i flashed just the kernel (i will repeat just the kernel) again via Flastool, but this time from 6.1.e.3.7 ftf file.

The result: as stock as possible, with root

p.s. I will make sure, to keep /data/local.prop world writable, also will keep around the 6.1.e.2.68 ftf with the "nice" kernel's initramfs just in case for the future

p.p.s. everywhere (including Flashtool) when i read, the term kernel mean: the kernel itself + initramfs file system.

So having world writable /data/local.prop + the 6.1.e.2.68 ftf kernel is a recipe for rooting :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] black97one:
Hello,

I read 3 times... but don't understand how you did that :confused:

How to "parse" the different file?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] peshovec:
ok, lets begin from the beginning ...

How the phone is booting:

1. Bootloader loads the kernel image

2. The kernel image has built-in filesystem

~/linux-next$ ls -1 ~/android/ion/6.1.e.3.7inits/
crashtag
data
default.prop
dev
fstab
icon_error.png
init
init.clrdex.sh
init.goldfish.rc
init.rc
init.semc.rc
init.usbmode.sh
logo.rle
proc
sbin
sys
system
ueventd.goldfish.rc
ueventd.rc
ueventd.semc.rc

this built-in filesystem becomes part of the / filesystem on the phone

3. /init binary is executed.

the init binary do what is supposed to do (controlled by /init.rc and /init.semc.rc ...)

also init binary looks in /system/build.prop and /data/local.prop and sets corresponding android properties

Ok, now lets look how one of the rooting methods work:

if there is android property ro.kernel.qemu equal to 1, then phone enter in emulator mode (with root access ).

So if there is line ro.kernel.qemu=1 in file /data/local.prop the corresponding android property is set, and we enter in emulator mode with root access.

Problems:

1. we are not able to edit /data/local.prop -> Solution bin4ry discover a bug, which allows us to create writable /data/local.prop file

2. In the latest firmwares from sony, the included in the new kernel image /init binary did not look in /data/local.prop

3. Even if we had preserved /data/local.prop the /init binary from latest kernel images will not set the ro.kernel.qemu=1 property -> Solution flash older (sony signed) kernel image, which contains /init binary which will parse the /data/local.prop

Basically i did not describe root method. I tried to describe root preserve method, or more precisely how to leave backdoor for a root preserve method
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] furzhou:
Was it the same way I root my ST18i?

1. Flash 4.0.4.ftf

2. Flash 4.0.3 kernel

3. root(su+superuser.apk)

4. Flash 4.0.4 kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] peshovec:
Probably yes.

I am not sure from where come the "bug", which allow /data/local.prop to be modified

slided on-screen
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:
In the new kernel, Sony had fixed the exploit that loaded local.prop during boot.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] edboston:
Been looking at the Nexus 10 but would like to find a powered car mount for it. I have found several universal mounts, but if I can find one that has the power connector built in so I don't have to also plug a cable in, that would be great. Has anyone seen something like this?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Royal2000H:
I doubt you'll find any. The market is just too small. The Nexus 10 market isn't that big.. The amount of people who want a powered car mount for the Nexus 10 is even smaller (substantially).

I'll be surprised if you find any mount that's even specific for the Nexus 10 (forget the powered part).

I'm researching commands that are sent by ODIN to do its job. Also implemented heimdall-based sample that send "control codes" through libusb to the device. But without any success.

[General Questions and Answers] sumsar99:
In Titanium preferences you have an option to "Backup app external data" and "Select external data max size".

Try to just set the first one to Enabled (Always).

I'm not sure if it's worth it tho. Maybe better to just save your game settings and progress and have the big files downloaded when you need them.
[General Questions and Answers] mrjayviper:
Tried always and using Max size of 9999mb, backup size is still too small
[General Questions and Answers] sumsar99:
Hmm thats strange, well the huge datafiles from games are stored here and there.

I have quite a few big games and most of them store their huge files here:

/Android/data/obb/

and

/Gameloft/

I was thinking of just manually backing these folders up just incase download servers would go down or something like that.

Anyway, maybe it's best to have these huge packs separated from Titanium backups since I feel Titanium is pretty slow as it is when it comes to Dropbox, Box syncing.

Just having Titanium compressing them huge files will take some time even on a pretty fast phone.
