[HTC One X] guido3300:
Hey guys I've been using InsertCoin 9.7.0 since there is not JB RUU for my CID yet and I was surprised with the responsivness and stability of the ROM, the only letdown for me was the annoying JB flying animation that came by default (there's no option ro remove it and couldn't find a fix anywhere), so I've decided to move to a different ROM but I don't know if there's another that's as fast as InsertCoin. What do you guys recommend? I was hoping that ARHD was fantastic like it was on the Inspire but it kinda let me down. Any suggestion will appreciated :o

Sorry mate, you have to find out yourself ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FormaldehydeSon:
When I play any game with graphics (eg Bard's Tale, Cytus, Ski Safari etc) and my phone is not plugged, after some time the phone will just shut off with no warning, and when I try to turn it back on it says the battery is dead but if I go into recovery or download mode a few times (or just plug it in) then boot again it will display the correct battery life. This is on multiple roms and android versions (I even flashed stock firmware), and I have cleared everything (including system) multiple times and nothing has changed. Also since this started my phone has been defaulting to the wrong time zone (UTC instead of UTC -5) when I set it to default from the carrier. Everything else works fine (even simple games such as Dungeon Raid) I'm just wondering if this is just a battery problem or if my phone is dying. I bought it used last year around August I think.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
So have you tried a different battery??? :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FormaldehydeSon:
Oh sorry I forgot to mention I do not have access to another battery, I was going to go in to a shop and ask them their advice or if they had a tester battery or something, I just wanted to get some advice before I go and get a new battery and find it doesn't solve the problem.

so the new battery solved the problem??? please answer me because i have the same issues

thanks

July 20th 2013

Updated with cyanide2.2, fixing bug that resulted in the su binary being deleted when extracted.

Original Release (bloggers re-source this link): http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...band-with-the-newest-ota-1_65k_1027-or-older/

Republic Wireless pushed a new update today, breaking the previous root I released. Here is a new root, that works on all versions of the firmware to date.

Install the app, run the app, press agree, phone will reboot twice, and then you have root. Then install supersu from the market.

APK : attached

I was previously rooted on my Defy XT, and had installed busybox. Now I've updated my phone to RW latest, but you're Cyanide utility doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's perhaps busybox related issue, or some other root required app. All the binaries from before the update have stayed in the system, but something isn't running through correctly, because I'm not getting root, and SuperSU is not being installed. Any ideas?

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jcase:
Cyanide is made to work on stock, or as stock as possible phones. Alterations surely can break it. Setup adb, get it working with the phone, then PM me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ericerk:
Are there roms for this thing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SoNic67:
No, there are no ROM's available. You root it, there is no going "back".

However, good job jcase! I keep your cyanide on the phone, ready to launch it. Still having 30 days warranty thou.

tethering

I have the Republic defy XT and would consider rooting if I can then tether my tablet to it while out an about.

I used to have the HTC Hero and rooted with custom ROM and was able to tether my Nexus 7 (wifi version) to it via bluetooth. That gave me internet when away from wifi.

If I root the defy, will I be able to get tether working? Has anyone actually done this? Currently, bluetooth can see and pair with the phone, but won't connect.

Thanks

I'll give it a shot. Thanks very much for the suggestion!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jneg123:
I tried PDANet and didn't have very good luck. I can get basic internet connection for browsing but run into issues with some apps. I installed the paid version and tested to see if this would help and still no go.

I tried Google Maps and it tracked position just fine. I tried the "Layers" feature to add traffic info and had a message that there wasn't a network connection. This message came up with both the free and paid version.

"No Network Connection" came up again with Words with Friends and the Gmail apps. I didn't test further and got the refund from Google Play. I didn't want to keep testing and then not be able to get a refund.

Any other BT tethering suggestions?

thanks

Thumbs Up!

Just a thumbs up and let you know that your app worked on my RW Defy running the latest build 1_65K_1027. Working just fine and glad to see since I'm coming from my rooted Droid Bionic and missed Call Blocker featured I used all too often.

Thanks, Sorli...

It is not working for me

I received new phone today from RW and it is stock with 1_65K_1027 when I run Cyanide it does not install SuperSU and I do not have root access. I have used this method previously on my old original RW phone. I reran after factory data reset and still same result, not working for me. Any help would be great as I love my old RW phone when it was rooted.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bsorli:
Hmm...not sure really, but figured I reply to your post just to let you know someone is out here, running the same build 1-65K_1027, and successful months ago.

Did you hear back from the Cyanide developer and hopefully he has some notes of interest and what may have changed?

Obviously, I did my installation months ago and hopefully nothing has changed, but you also said you are now using a newer Defy. What happened to your older unit?

Hope you figure it out and I'm actually waiting for a new RW phone. Been waiting a while and may just drop kick RW if they don't come out with something new soon as reported "End of Summer!" in previous Blog posts. Sorli...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daedreamah:
Old RW phone locked up and had over-heating issues...I could not use GPS wile plugged in to car charger at the same time. RW swapped phone and new one was sent to me. My old phone I used Cyanide no problems to install and use Titanium Back up to make backups of the pre-installed apps then uninstall them. I performed another Factory data reset from the privacy settings on the phone and then reinstalled Cyanide - still no go for me - does not install SuperSU and I do not have root access.

Thanks for you reply, do you have any suggestions ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bsorli:
What is weird is my install (x2) went perfectly without problems both times. Test drove on my wife's phone did not have any problems.

Does it work at all...initiate the process, reboot, and then nothing?

May need to document your steps (what seems to work, where it may fail, errors if any, etc) and then email the developer to see what he may have to say and see if he can help. Sorli...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daedreamah:
Unboxed new phone, activated it, put in old SDCARD with Cyanide on it, Under application settings checked unknown sources, installed via the built in file manager and then ran the app on the phone, Agreed to the warning, phone rebooted then rebooted again. No SuperSu and no root. Downloaded the latest Cyanide and re-installed same results. I have done this before an another RW Defy and no problems like all of you, but this one will not work for me.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jcase:
This could have been silently patched some how, I am getting other report of it not working on firmware that I have confirmed it to work on. I will release a new root around Aug 11th. Possibly sooner if someone put one of these phones in my hands for a little while.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daedreamah:
If I can be of any help via trial and error please let me know. At this time the RW is my only phone otherwise I would send it in...I have managed to get it to communicate via ADB using the adb devices command and it responded. If you want to test I am up for it. Thanks

Cyanide 2

Thanks jchase.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] glowco:
I seem to have a different problem. I ran Cyanide 2.1, all went well, and a root checker app confirmed I had root. However, when first trying to use an app that needs root (Link2SD), SuperSU prompts to update binary, but is not successful.

I seem to be in limbo. Could this problem have been caused by previously doing the ADB procedure that changes the default install location to SD?

Any advice is appreciated. Perhaps I should do a factory reset?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DewJunkie:
I had the adb changes in my 1st phone with Cyanide 1, and I didn't have any issues here. My Super SU updated just fine. Here are some things I'd try.

1) Update from the market

2) Download the APK, and try a manual install

3) Uninstall/Reinstall super su. Super Su isn't what gives you root, it allows apps to request root access.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] glowco:
Thanks for the suggestions. I think I got SuperSU to update, since it stopped prompting me to do so. I couldn't actually uninstall it since it's a system app. But, I just can't get root apps to work. I get no notification asking for root privileges, so they fail. Root checker stills says I'm rooted. Continuing to fiddle around, but I guess last resort is factory reset, or give up. At least the phone still works otherwise.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] glowco:
Went the factory reset route but really no help. Since SuperSU was installed as a system app, it remained there. Root Checker thinks I have root, but SuperSU still thinks it needs to update (added note: SU binary needs to update message) and fails, and root apps don't work. If anyone has any further ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

Adding note: Is it possible my task killer caused a problem while cyanide was running, like killed part of the process?

Can i still use Republic wireless after i root my phone???:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daedreamah:
Same boat

I unistalled the orginal cyanide I had installed then downloaded and installed the newJuly 12th cyanide 2.1. Phone rebooted twice and super Su was installed. I installed Titanium Back up from the Google playstore and it also updated the version of Super Su. Titanium backup tells me that the phone is not rooted and Super Su will not update the binaries...I unistalled the Super Su update and cyanide, rebooted the phone and re installed and re ran cyanide 2.1 again, same issuse Super Su will not update binaries and phone is reported as not rooted.

Any help would be awesome.

Could Someone Factory Reset & Nandroid?

I have not seen any activity in awhile, but guessed someone on here may be able to help more.

I and others would appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to factory reset phone and make a full nandroid of it to post here or hotlink? This would be helpful for me and others. I have read many times there is no sbf file for RW available. If someone has that it would be even better. Even if people could upload the update.zip files that are available from the about phone would be helpful also. Thanks in advance to anyone who maybe able to do this!

Kindle Fire 1st Generation.

I have a bad USB Port. Cannot charge... cannot connect to PC. Device is Rooted and need to go back to Amazon for Warranty Exchange. How should i proceed?

I really don't want to send it rooted.

I have another Kindle.. If i swap the Motherboard, will i be able to restore back to factory settings?? Is the memory attached to the Motherboard?

So, by just swapping the board, will i get the old Cyanogenmod rom back?? or will it give me the new Kindle since the memory is physically attached to the board??

Thanks for any insights.

I could open and swap with a full battery. in order to Flash the Update.zip... but without a recovery... no idea how to do it.. that is why i thought about the motherboard swap...but then comes the question ..."where is the internal memory attached to...??? on the board???if i swap ...will i still get the Cyanogenmod rom that i had.???

Thanks

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Even if you swapped boards there is the problem of the serial number so it wouldn`t do you any good for return purposes. You could swap batteries though and apply update.zip after a full wipe then return the working battery to the unit you wish to keep. Send them the dead battery and the factory restored unit with the correct serial number board. As far as getting update.zip to the device simply upload it to Google drive or Dropbox then download it directly to the device and move it from your download folder to the root of your sdcard. wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash update.zip select reboot system. The only risk is corrupting update.zip in the process make sure to perform an md5 check prior to upload and prior to flashing. You can acquire update.zip from kfu just don`t use the extracted version the one you want is update.zip it is a zipped folder ready for the purpose of flashing.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joao2307:
Well the swapping would just be temporary to restore the Official ROM...but i need to be sure that the memory isn't on the board..

And what about TWRP??? how do i load it without KFU?? If i rooted with KFU and TWRP, does it still have to be there??

JP
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
All data and perspective partitions are stored on the board and no where else if you have cm10, fff, and twrp on the board it will be there still. It's far easier to just change batteries momentarily to restore the device you wish to return.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joao2307:
Well that is exactly what i will do.. Thanks chris_m128 and Thepooch for your help... will open my refurbished unit, take the battery out.. put it in the damaged unit.. download the updated.zip... check md5 then turn it off and try to start TWRP .. (will check on the internet the proper steps to get there) then do the whole clear cache and reset factory then flash update.zip.. Does that sound about right?? And I should have TWRP if i have already installed Cyanogen mod Right?? Last time i booted i did not have the FireFireFire BootLoader..

I i don't have this bootloader...how to i get to the TWRP screen??

Thanks guys!!! It is really incredible how many people have complained about this bad USB ports.. Amazon should do a Recall!!!

PS: anyway to recharge the battery without having to disassemble my new Kindle?? Like a third party charger??

JP
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Actually interesting you should mention fff version 1.4a was designed with a particular failsafe for low level charging via USB some it works for some it doesn't. The two methods I have heard mentioned first simply power it off then plug to PC others say to power it off after it comes on connected to PC, both with varied results. Which ever works I guess. As for the lack of the fff bootloader there is an older form of smirkit that can be ran just by simply placing a folder on your sdcard and running a script let me know when your are near that point and I can assist you in getting that accomplished with jrummy`s root browser. Also I have dropboxed update.zip for download purposes just want to make sure the md5 checks out beforehand.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DandroidT:
I know the gnex is over a year old so it will be hard to keep up with new SOCs from S3, nexus 4....but I want to mod it so that it can keep up with the new SOCs. I am willing to give up battery life for speed. I am thinking over clock and custom ROM but I need recommendation on which one will provide what I needs. I want faster page load when browsing (I used dolphin browser), faster apps load like xda, Engadget...

What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
ditch dolphin browser for one, that browser is nothing but lag.

If you want faster browser, i recommand opera mini, fastest browser ive ever used, although i personally will just stick with chrome, its not the the fastest, but it definitly is the most convenient for me due to bookmark/recent sync.

as for rom, i personally recommand cm10.1 + ak kernel, its working extremely well for me the phone is very responsive, good batery life even.

Flash a Rom that uses the Linaro tool chain and get Seeder from the market.

No one like over clocking now a day?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DandroidT:
I would do a LS1 engine swap first :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
..cheetah worked for my grandma

Liquidsmooth is a fast stable rom. Cant go wrong with ak kernel. Setting your governor to performance will also increase the speed and responsiveness of your device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DZYR:
ATOM is fast!

It's probably impossible that anyone has tried all the various ROMS that are available on the XDA Galaxy Nexus forums :laugh:, but I have tried quite a few.

For me the one ROM that sticks out as being 'super fluid, fast and smooth' has to be ATOM by PrimeDirective.

I was testing other JB421 ROMS since it wasn't updated for a while, but not that it has been recently updated to JB421 its once again back on my GNEX. I find it smooth enough not to warrant OCing it. I also stick with the stock kernel, but I guess if you want it to go faster you could go with some other kernel.

I have linked to the maguro version, but if you are on another version then find it in the other forums.
