CWM Recovery & Root

I have successfully flashed a CWM recovery and root script on this phone. Everything works. Here's how its done:

Here is the "About" under settings on the phone that i have done this on:

First Download This:

http://www.mediafire.com/?eq9b28ua89wh8d1

This RAR Archive contains everything needed.

MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON JELLYBEAN. [4.1]

1: Installing CWM Recovery

Extract the downloaded zip and run the flash tool. (Flash_tool.exe)

In the flash tool, click where it says "scatter-loading", and browse for "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" [It is in the: \CWM_recovery_4.1\recovery folder that was included in the downloaded archive]

Now, before flashing, MAKE SURE "RECOVERY" is the only thing ticked in the list of things to flash.

(Mine had two things ticked by default, just make sure the only thing that is ticked is the recovery.)

When the scatter file is loaded and only recovery is ticked, make sure your phone is off and the battery is out. Also make sure it is unplugged from the computer.

Now in the flash tool, click the download button at the top.

*Note: If you get: "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!

Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?", Just click "Yes"

Plug in your phone with the battery out and wait for it to finish flashing. If the flash tool doesnt detect the phone, it means the drivers probably aren't installed. install the drivers [included in download (MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers)] and wait for it to finish flashing

When it flashes, you will get a popup window with a circle, showing that it has completed. you can now unplug your phone.

CWM recovery is now installed on the phone. Time to root!

2: Rooting VIA CWM Recovery

Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip" to your phone's SD card.

Boot the phone into recovery. [hold volume+ and power while the phone is off]

Choose "Install zip from sd card" [using volume and power buttons] and navigate to "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip"

Flash it, and then reboot the phone. You should now have root:

If you follow all of this properly in order, this should work! i am not responsible for anyone bricking their phone. Doing this is all on you.

*NOTE*

If your play store is not working [If it says there is no connection], Goto your phone's settings and set your date and time. This fixed it for me.

Also, credit to the original authors of the files. I have simply taken the required files and archived them for your convenience.

These may be basic questions and I apologize. I recently dropped my iPhone for a galaxy nexus.

Before rooting I would get 24 hour battery life. Now my phone is at 59% in 4 hours since rooting. :( What did I do wrong?:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
it has nothing to do with root...must be a coincidence. use a app like better battery stats to monitor app and system usage. most likely a rogue app causing wake lock.
[HTC Desire S] maximus84:
Hello XDA members,

I bought an HTC desire S a few weeks ago. Phone works flawlessly but takes ages to charge. Phone doesnt heat up, shows proper information while charging (AC on wall charger and USB on computer) but charging is very slow. On wall charger, battery takes 5-6 hours to charge from 25-30% to 90-100%. I have tried different USB cables, batteries, chargers and even tried 3 different ROMs with different KERNEL and calibrated the battery. Once charged, battery lasts as it should. I don't think this can be caused by bad USB port because data transfer rate is normal. I tried charging after turning off the device and the charging rate was fairly quicker. So i tried flashing custom roms but that didn't solved the problem.

Any ideas what else i should do are much appreciated..:confused:
[HTC Desire S] psmok:
is it a new phone? mine charges like yours but the battery is almost 2 years old.
[HTC Desire S] J_Schnacki:
I only can say: Same thing here. Haven't really looked into this after flashing Flinny's 10.1 ROM, but with the stock HTC ROM I had the same issue. What I could see was, that the phone charged really fast up to about 80% and then the charging-progress slowed down to a crawl.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This may shed some light on your problem ;)
[HTC Desire S] J_Schnacki:
Yes, that explains it short and clear.
[HTC Desire S] maximus84:
yes. its a new phone. i had doubts that the battery maybe the culprit and tried an original battery out of a friends phone and then bought an new oem battery but that didnt solve the problem. The phone is charging (AC charger) at the moment. 43% to 56% in almost 1 hour.
[HTC Desire S] maximus84:
I am currently on 3.0.56-ck1-amidabuddha-xl+ kernal. Any tips for me related to this problem?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Well Tweaked is discontinued now with a reason. Try Patched
[HTC Desire S] maximus84:
Thanx for the advice. Going to flash the patched kernel.
[HTC Desire S] maximus84:
Flashed the patched (custom, stable) kernel. Battery life has somewhat improved but charging is still awful sluggish.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Maybe it is hardware related

IDK

But as said in the kernel thread if you do not need additional features you better bet on the Stock kernel for Sense 3.6 / MIUI or B2B for Sense 4. This should give you best possible operation and is my personal choice as well

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ottavio2006:
Hello, my first post here. I'm a noob. I hate myself and you hate me too.

I am thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy S 4.2 wifi (Samsung YP-GI1CW), the European version of the 4.2 Galaxy Player (YP-GI1). This would be my first Android device. I like the small form factor and I am aware of its limitations. I would be using this mainly to stream Flash videos (live tv and such). My noob questions:

1) Is this device powerful enough to stream Flash videos? I had a device with similar specs and it crashed all the time and I sent it back. My broadband connection is very good.

2) What it its processor? According to pdadb.net it's a	Samsung S5PC111 Exynos 3110:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&...1cb__galaxy_player_4.2__galaxy_s_wifi_4.2_8gb

but according to Zaclimon:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720457

it's a TI OMAP 3630 1Ghz.

Who is right and does it make any difference?

I haven't seen a thread specifically dealing with Flash performance but if there's one please point me to it.

Thank you

Hi All,

My phone originally had the orange ICS firmware installed, I then unlocked the bootloader and rooted and installed Retail British ICS. I would now like to try jelly bean on orange and it has not come out in Retail british. I tried to install the original firmware from this site (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/list.php) and I keep getting an error in part 3 (installing moto boot) and the installation is aborted. If I copy the motoboot from the retail british to the orange firmware the installation runs fully. Is there any reason i cant use the retail british in the orange firmawre??

Thanks

Make partition using recovery anything will work ext2/3/4 sound same to me !
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shree alwaz:
All are same. Ext3 is best choice.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] K55V:
Since your card has really less memory and you may require it for backups, songs, pictures, etc., I would advice you to install CM9.1 build#9 normally, no extensions. Really smooth, almost no bugs. Internal memory with this rom is a lot, all you will have to do is move your apps to sd card via titanium backup. No hassles, works great, enough internal memory for my usage. :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] saadahmeddar:
Cm9 build #9

Man i hate stock ics cuz no sense = no life for my htc

But anyway thnx for ur advice
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shree15:
Ext3 or ext4 both will be great..

i ll personally use ext3 partition..:good::good: working for me great..but you can go with both of them.But With recovery you can make only ext3 partition.. to create ext4 partition you have to use tools. i prefer minitool partition wizard..

and you can check the difference between the both partition system here

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press Thansks if i helped
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] CoolMonster:
Here is my suggestion ...

Ext4 or ext3.. preferably ext4...

Don't use recovery for partition..because it slow down the mem card speed...I think making swap partition will slow down the men card ..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] razvy79rzv:
So what to use to partition sd? I used gparted and I can't install any sense 4...tried and worked till now jaggyrom 3.2.1, 4.0.3, 4.1, cm9, cm10.

for a week i'm trying to install jaggyrom 1.2, flyrom, htc sense 4...no luck for me. It worked one day htc sense 4 but with sdext with ext2 filesystem, i'm very confuzed.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shree alwaz:
if u r with yannoun or twrp recovery then partition the card thru recovery.. n im using ext2 till now i neva faced anyproblem wid any rom.. i made it thru recovery.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] razvy79rzv:
I saw that if I make ext2 partition I can install sense 4 rom, it's wierd...why it's not installing on ext4 filesysytem.

About partitioning: I've partitioned thru recovery and the fat32 is with 4k cluster size and starts from sector 1, but the sd card came from factory with fat32 with 32k cluster size and starts from sector 8192...I'm worry about performance and wear level of the sd card.

Didi anybody knows about proper format of a sd card???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] K55V:
If anyone has a problem partitioning through recovery simply download and use mini tool partition wizard for the pc.. There are many tutorials available on how to use it, search youtube or this forum.

Everytime i try to install a rom with Recovery it freezes at "Opening update package..."

The advice that I can give is to install the CM7 by schlund that along with the sense 3.5 is the best. Search discussion "CM7" and in the first few pages you'll find the best instructions that will help you step by step to understand. Good luck ;)

Rooted VZW Galaxy Nexus (toro) ..

Since (what seems like 4.2.1) (liquid smooth, euroskank, cm10.1..) using three different kernels.. (air kernel, tiny kernel, zenx..) I get the screen to go black at random times.

Volume indicates it is alive, battery pull brings it back..

I'm not UnderVolting, or Over Clocking.. happens more often with Waze (GPS Navigation app)..

I'm in the car using the sock vzw (MiniUSB Dual Vehicle Power Charger w/USB Port) ; but I've had it happen while I was charging it via a wall charger as well..

[Q] How can I try and track this down?

[Q] Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks in advance..

I'm not playing any games of any type..

I'm a network guy running around 12+ hours a day talking on the phone, sending/reading emails and texts.. and using FourSquare to checkin with other guys on the team. All of which are still running 4.1 of some flavor with other versions of the mentioned kernels/roms.. (I'm wanting to keep liquidsmooth b/c its super tiny..)

[Q] Is Linaro my problem?

Hey, I just have a quick Question, I'm using Jellybam Rom and im getting a score of 4.788 on (Quadrant Standard) benchmark (without any overclock), i tried AOKP 4.2 rom with the overclocked 1.8 last night but im just getting 4.3 - 4.5 score, i just dont understand how a none overclocked rom is giving me a better score than an Overclocked 1.8 Rom. :confused: I will appreciate any suggestion.

Benchmarks means nothing... Real world usage is what matters.

I get like 4k in quadrant with CM10, but its a hell a lot faster in the real world than stock ICS 4.0.4 (which scored little over 9k).
[HTC One S] gelo01:
Over 9k, you say? Is it possible? Mine doesn't go over 5.5k in quadrant when i was on stock ics..
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Sir, you are correct. I completely mixed up antutu with quadrant. Sorry 'bout that :crying:
[HTC One S] gelo01:
No prob. :D

But then, i agree with the thought that benchmarks mean nothing and what's more important is the real life usage because even though JB produces higher benchmark in both quadrant and antutu, in real life, the stock ICS feels so much smoother and stable.

I have a Verizon ADR6350VW HTC Incredible 2. I decided to 'upgrade' it to a new ROM.

I unlocked the boot loader and installed ClockwrkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

HBOOT-0.98.0000

RADIO-1.09.01.0312

eMMC-boot

Jul 18 2011,12:39:36

I tried putting an incredible 2 ROM (Viper) and since then it won't fully boot, it gets stuck forever on the green HTC logo on the white background.

I can get to the bootloader, and tried reflashing the same or other downloaded ROMs (all meant for the HTC incredible 2). Without much luck.

The original flashing process was not interrupted. I did a lot of googling and reading (but missed the S-ON/S-OFF part originally), and have tried many different ways to get out of this without luck.

3rd party ROM will flash and complete the process (but still won't boot), Verizon ROMs will give me an error (cannot open flash, bad). I did check the md5 checksums on ALL the files I used, and tried flashing from adb to no avail.

Before anyone asks, Yes I do clear the data, cache and Dalvik cache before flashing. I am at a loss of what to try next, short of finding someone reputable online to do it for a fee.

Thanks,

Wahran

1st recommendation: go s-off

2nd recommendation: flash the boot img from the rom in fastboot...I don't know the exact process because I am s-off, but it is discussed in many of the development threads, so now you know what terms to search for at least.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wahran99:
Thank you for your reply.

Going S-OFF: I tired, most guides online will show you how to do by going to the OS first (and enabling USB debug). The only one I found from Revolutionary involved doing it from the adb. When I boot into ClockwrkMod, I can run adb just fine (doing adb devices returns the correct S/N amongst other things), but revolutionary tool complains it can't find the device.

I will google again your second recommendation.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
From Nitsuj17 in the viper thread post 2:

If you are dev unlock, you need to pull the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot it in hboot

The process will be the same for any rom as long as you are dev unlocked.

Thank you again for trying to help, I am still getting no where. I reloaded the Viper ROM, it said it installed correctly (after going through the selection menus and waiting on the progress bar to finish), I had previously extracted the boot.img file and put it with my fastboot.exe.
