[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxqbnxx:
ok so after some work arounds i think i got it all set up. heimdall seems to be running on terminal. How safe is this ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alecsharp:
Well, considering what heimdall does, it's an inherently risky venture whether or not you have a GUI on it. The GUI lets you limit the amount of damage you can potentially do, of course, whereas the CLI is not as restrictive.

As far as those commands: I've run them on a couple of phones to successful ends. YMMV, of course. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
im stuck i donwload the heimdall and the md5 file

but im stuck here

Copy 'libusb-1.0.0.dylib' to the /opt/local/lib directory on your Mac

Copy the file called 'heimdall' into /usr/local/bin <-- after you copy it over, in a terminal do: sudo chmod 644 /usr/local/bin/heimdall to make sure you can run it.

i dont have those folders

maybe im over looking this but can someone write a simpler tutorial?

no pun intended! maybe its just me, ive been googling how to root my s3 on a mac for so long!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alecsharp:
Did you try this from the command line or Finder? If in Finder, did you try searching for those directory names?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jhlax95:
OK... I had problems then I fixed them and then I found some more problems.

Here is what I receive:

$ heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.img --cache cache.img.ext4 --system system.img.ext4

Thanks for verifying. Do you use homebrew at all? If not, can you install it and then run:

brew install libusb

That should create /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib directories. Use /usr/local/lib instead of /opt/local/lib at that point.

First install the apk, then you need to reboot to recovery and install zip after you wipe cache. Reboot device, run PSM ( the PlayStation app) and it will tell you it needs update, click ok. Now you should have a functional PlayStation store.

Edit: having a little trouble getting download link.

[HTC Droid DNA] nicholaschw:
In due for our major rollout event, ARM. Project will be coming to your DNA. We are an non-profit organisation alike cyanogenmod, but only focusing on creating a global aftermarket kernel for the Android OS, specifically to remove the major setbacks of linux.

What's so awesome about the kernel apart from stock manufactured vanilla kernels?

- this includes custom codes which are open-sourced, which aims to tweak the linux kernel to the peak for Android. This gives you a feeling like having Android and, at the same time, feel like you have the smoothness like ChromeOS.

What's in the codes you add?

- they are just codes ported over from other lightweight open-source OS, but, will also include our own various inspirations.

Currently, we are in closed alpha for DNA. We are in need of 2 Maintainers for source building and basic bugfixes and 2 testers for alpha testing. Please PM me to discuss on.

We hope to help shape your phone's future!
[HTC Droid DNA] RLKirk:

[HTC Droid DNA] BFirebird101:
IPhone like scrolling where it takes a while to stop scrolling after removing your finger from the screen. The DNA only does this in the browser, but in other applications it has an abrupt and unattractive stop.

Over clocking

Governor options

Write to system

Awesomeness?
[HTC Droid DNA] TXI Kaze:
I think this is something built into Sense itself and not the kernel. I could be completely wrong, just stabbing in the dark.
[HTC Droid DNA] JaredMLG:
OK noted,but the scrolling thing is a ROM thing and not kernel related.So I cannot do that:(

Does your Tablet boot up to any kind of ROM?

If you connect your tablet to PC with Micro USB Cable, does your PC recognize Tablet with ADB or APX ?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MattMetal:
hi everybody!

I need an help. Sorry for my bad english, I'm only 16 and I'm Italian. :)

I have an Xperia Mini, it's my first android phone, so I'm not very good at android modding! I downgraded it from ICS (Official) to Gingerbread (4.0.2.A.0.42 build) and I rooted it. Then I installed ClockWorkMod recovery. I don't have an unlocked bootloader, but I want to flash a custom ROM based on gingerbread. If I flash it, can I go back to stock rom with CWM's restore function? And If I can't, can I use flashtool to flash it (I have the .ftf file that I flashed for downgrading)?

Thanks very much.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Welcome to our forum ;)

You can flash a gingerbread custom rom for locked bootloader with cwm, but be sure it is for locked bootloader!

If you take a backup in cwm, with backup/restore -> backup before you install the custom rom, you can restore this backup to go back to stock. Flashing the stock ftf will also work, you have to decide if you want to restore or flash, but if you take the backup in cwm it will backup the whole firmware with all apps etc :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MattMetal:
Thanks! :good:

But do I need to flash a custom kernel? Or can I keep the stock kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
For locked bootloader custom roms it's the stock kernel :good:

For unlocked bootloader roms you need to flash a custom kernel, but this is only possible on unlocked bootloader ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MattMetal:
So I'm ready to install a custom ROM! Thanks man, you helped me a lot! :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MattMetal:
another question...i choose this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030659

but the description says..."it should work with any ICS kernel...I currently have this kernel...2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

can I flash this ROM? And if my phone gets Briccked, can I repair it with CWM or it won't boot into recovery?

Sorry for my bad english :crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Normally it should work, but the problem is there's not specified if it is for locked or unlocked bootloader. It's stock based so it could work on locked, but it is recommend to flash a kernel. You could try it, but it could be you get a brick :(

When it's bricked, (mostly) you can't boot in recovery so you have to flash the stock rom with flashtool :)

Another little advice: If you install an ics custom rom on a gingerbread phone it could end in a brick. I had this when I was on locked bootloader, so I updated to ics (while keeping root, how to do this is in my rooting guide) and installed it again.

You can try an ics custom rom on your phone running gingerbread, just install it. But if it won't boot, flash the stock gingerbread rom and update it with root to ics ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MattMetal:
Ok. But before installing a rom, I have to do a full wipe, and wiping all will delete the CWM recovery?

I think I'll first upgrade to ICS officially. Can I use pc companion? or I have to flash the .ftf file of the stock 4.0.4 firmware with flashtool?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SXUsr:
Read the instructions in the thread, generally you have to yes as it avoids any conflicts.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
1.) make nandroid backup

2.) factory reset/wipe data

3.) wipe cache/partition

4.) format system

5.) wipe dalvik cache and battery stats.

6.) flash ROM

7.) flash supersu fix, there are lots of links out there just incase you have problems with root. this will solve your problem if u have locked BL

8.) if you lose CWM, you can use led deletes x-recovery tool to install cwm after you boot your rom

BUT TAKE NOTE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS YOU MUST DO IN "SOME" Custom ROMS like Hasa(flashing lockscreen after 1st boot)

MAKE SURE TO READ THE THREAD's INSTRUCTIONS FIRST

:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MattMetal:
Ok i read all the guides...now I'll update to ics and root it. Then I'll install a custom rom.
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
Hey guys, I used this search function, together with Google, but I can't seem to find any information, I know there was a thread like that, but I can't find it... So sorry if someone is annoyed ^^

(32GB 3G)

So I got my nexus 7 for a few weeks now, and four days ago it started to smell burned while charging... After this smell, battery life seems weird.. MAX. Stats are a few hours standby time (10) (lost 1% per hour with everything turned off) and 3-4 hours screen time until its discharged.. Before that, max stats were 1 day and 6-7 screen on time...

While charging, I am now smelling like a dog around my tablet and charger (which scares some people around me) but it doesn't smell anymore, and its charging properly.

So I'm not sure, if it REALLY is broken, or its just something I'm telling myself .. Because to be honest, if the battery would be screwed it should smell again and should charge like hell, or slow as a snail.., but charging is fine, like day one..,

I'm searching for people who had a smelling nexus 7 and what they've done.., and what consequences they had...

Thank you in advance (:

P.S.:To help myself, I'll charge it full (again) and make a MANUAL (fastboot) factory reset, maybe this helps... And also I can say it can't be an app, because I use the same I used when I bought it... So ^^
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
Oh, and I'm 100% Stock, and I never dropped it..
[Nexus 7 General] dstryrwiz:
Where did you get the device from? It may be worth just swapping it if you purchased from the Play Store.
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
Got it from Media Markt, but its an act to get there, (for me) since I got no car ^^ its insured also... So I'll get a replacement for sure, but maybe I don't have to... I had a lot devices which smelled weird once but worked for years... So, maybe it just sucked too much power once.. The problem is, I can't live without this tablet :D so maybe I'll call MM and ask if they have one in stock to get.. But again, maybe I don't have to.. That's why I'm searching "smelling" people :P
[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
You must have some Labrador or Blood Hound in your DNA to be able to smell your devices charging lol.

On a serious note, have you tried watching the temps of the CPU and battery while its charging?
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
Yup, everything was normal.. This is what scares me :D I did a factory reset now... After setting everything up, (open all installed apps, go through settings, sync, update apps, setting the phone up in general, one reboot), I lost 2%, which is average ^^ I'm testing now.. But its confusing :(

Edit: and while charging, it didn't smell... This is weird...
[Nexus 7 General] hundred_miles_high:
Going by your description of the problem, I would be leaning towards strongly suspecting that a component has (or is in the process of) burning out.

Does your Nexus smell when you charge it on either a different charger or PC USB port? If not then it may just be the charger is going bad - which in the big picture is no biggie (better the charger than the Nexus)

If on the other hand, the Nexus smells regardless of where you charge it, I would be seriously considering a warranty claim fairly soon. It may have been a freak occurance, but ultimately it has the potential to have drastically reduced the overall lifespan of your device - even if absolute failure has not occured.

Obviously it's your call buddy, but it shouldn't have happened in the first instance, and i'd be a bit paranoid that it could be a sign of worse to come.
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
The charger was my second thought.. I don't trust these things ^^

Right after this smell accident I unplugged it, and now I'm using a new socket to charge on. No smelling on laptop and the new socket... But if the old socket was the reason, then maybe when I use it the next time it will go up in flames, or my nexus does.. I'm going to watch out the next days, if any weird behavior is going on I'm going to replace it... But one thing I won't do: charge it overnight :D

I'm going to check the old socket.. But I need to go into my room, I don't want others to see me smelling lol :P

Edit: no burned smell...
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
Sooo, a little info for you and me.

After the full wipe yesterday, I'm on 28% left, with 24h standby, and 5h 48m display time, which is normal for me.. So it seems that the battery is fine (again?)

I'm going to charge it now, and as always, I'm running around the socket, charger and tablet.. I'll edit the post with the info after the full charge..

EDIT: no smelling after & while charging..

I assume it really was the socket I charged on, which I now toss into the trash..

Thanks to everyone who answered :)

And if I get weird behavior I'll send it in ^^

Worry about malware or viruses if you're trying to install pirated software. Anything you do not install from the Play Store can be iffy and you're taking a risk..,that said I haven't had any issues and I've been on Android since the G1 and I install Market apps and non market apps. Common sense seems to be the best defense.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
Don't consider the play store some kind of safe haven to install anything. Plenty if **** on it that you don't want to install. Just use your head. Problem with most things malware is you don't know when it's doing what it's doing and just looking at your phone isn't going to make it jump out and tell you it's there. A lot if it is data collection. Just don't install anything you don't trust and you won't have problems.

That said, I install avast on all my phones for its firewall and device recovery. The antivirus is a bit of gimmick but it's nice to know it's there for things that have already been identified.

All I've ever seen an AV do is eat up resources. Over all of my time with android, and many, many non-market apps, the worst I've ever gotten was an app that spammed me with push notifications, easily solved by an uninstall.
