The best thing is to use the s3 toolkit from mskip, this root your phone, install recovery, you can back up and restore and it have Odin inbuilt...I has downloaded this toolkit before I received my s3...and its really easy to use

Baseband XELLA is a radio / modem / baseband. It cannot be rooted. Only ROMs can be rooted.

Of course if the baseband is XELLA officially, the ROM will also be XELLA

[HTC Desire S] islamomt:
I've had ICS installed on Desire S for the past week. I'm a bit disappointed at some features being missing. I was using standard GB with Sense 3.0 - nothing special.

Well here's my list of troubles - maybe someone can help me with them, or at least they'll be out there for the benefit of anyone taking the dive.

Browser no longer opens default app: Whenever I've installed a special purpose application (Wikipedia, IMDb, Google Play) and I search on the browser, I no longer get the option to open the page in its dedicated app - instead the page loads and I end up using the browser. Most of you might remember the browser on GB used to ask the standard which-app-would-you-like-to-use question, and whether you'd like it defaulted or just once, but it no longer does that.

The mail widget doesn't show the same as the app - I've got Mail configured to sync with Exchange on 6 folders. The widget has stopped showing the different folders - the app still shows them when I select "All Messages" and this was the default view on GB. I've looked for settings near and far, but can't find any to control this.

HTC Sense no longer has widgets to download: I miss the hourglass timer (countdown) and the battery widget.

Youtube widget now occupies 3x2 instead of the sleaker 4x1. Is it YouTube or Sense, I don't know - but I'm not completely satisfied by this change.

To be fair to ICS tho, I believe it's quicker and lighter on the battery - I haven't felt the common complaints of slower. Also, a browser issue that some people had complained about is non-existent in my case - Good for me! :D
[HTC Desire S] glacier1122:
dont know about the mail question ,, but for browser , clear data and clear defualts in setting>apps>browser,,,

htc-sense : yes it is a little wierd but unfortunately , u cant download more htc widgets on sense 3.6 ,

youtube : since i moved to ICS youtube widget is shown like this , on any ics rom,,, so its youtube, not sense
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
As far as I remember you can set default apps for actions somwhere in the settings. But the truth is that ICS from HTC is really annoying and battery life was worse for me than on GB.

Are you rooted ? Try this.

Before i had problems with crashing links and apps weren't opening correctly.

Now for example i click youtube video in facebook app, it opens browser loads that address and asks what app to use. Checked youtube and don't ask in future.

Now works correct ;]
[HTC Desire S] islamomt:
Unfortunately this doesn't work.. but thanks for the idea

The one you're talking about is in Settings > Apps association.. but that doesn't include the apps I'm installing.

Apparently the response below from remusator is the right way to go... At least it sounds right to me. I'll try it and report back.
[HTC Desire S] islamomt:
To Root? Or not to Root? That is the question.

Its sounds very likely that this is the right solution to follow... However, I'm not rooted. Would you recommend for or against (well, I think since you're rooted you probably will recommend it) but what are potential losses from rooting. I was against early in my warranty and OTA was still an option, but I'm not sure I have a case any more. Shall I just go ahead and root?
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
root it now !! no risk , it is very, very easy ,, u can get rid of the stock buggy ics , and can have latest android 4.1 jellybean ! ,Sense 4 ! ur phone will be very fast and lighting , can play any HD game :eek: bceause u can overclock your cpu ! ,,, but you may lost ur warranty :silly:
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
You will loose your warranty, however there are methods how to put the phone in original (afaik).

Anyway, most of Desire S phones are probably out of warranty already.

Rooting doesn't exactly mean installing custom roms, btw...

But it comes hand in hand, and it means freedom. You can make whatever you like with your phone.

Rooting on gingerbread was pretty easy and straightforward.

You root only once and install custom recovery. Then you can flash every rom you like (Desire S Development section), even prerooted, so no need to root again ;]
[HTC Desire S] islamomt:
I've started my investigation on rooting, but I'm wondering about S-on/off are those needed also. Would those be enough to modify the build.prop file? What about upgrading bootloader.

Apparently I have too many questions so if you can redirect me to a guide about all those... The 101 of everything root/bootloader etc. Is appreciate it.

[HTC Desire S] oddoneout:
You can also find a complete guide thread here. Read as much as you can before you're confident about rooting. If you follow instructions carefully and read the tips to avoid bricking your device then there is very little risk to rooting.

Hey,

I've got a rooted s3 (international).

Rebooted to cwm, factory reset + format system.

Went to flash new omega rom and realised it wasn't on the sdcard.

-Mount sdcard says e: error mounting /sdcard

-I can flash rom from internal memory (but it's not on there)

-I have an external sdcard with the rom on it, but it cannot be opened in cwm.

How can i fix this? Truly stuck.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoHoJo:
Hello there.

Running Samsung Galaxy S III with CyanogenMod 10.

One day I made a backup of my phone via ClockWorkMod like every good boy should, and updated to CyanogenMod 10.1

After a few minutes I realized I didn't exactly what 10.1 just yet, and wanted to switch back to 10.

So I went to ClockWorkMod and restored my backup.

Now in my folder, I have all of the normal folders in the /sdcard/ directory, but I also have a 0 folder (which I found is a feature in 4.2.1 to allow for multiple users or something of that sort?).

Basically I want to safely remove the "0" folder, but merage all of the goodies in it with the stuff in my /sdcard/ folder, so it will be back to the way it was before I got 10.2/4.2.1 and just have all of my stuff on my /sdcard/ area.

How should I go about doing this?

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Just use root explorer (what I used and know it works) or another file manager, then select all files, click move, then move upto the /mnt/sdcard/ folder and paste it there
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
I've purchase and used this to get 'regular' android onto my HD+

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBZtWXYWX7M

I'm really pretty happy with it with the exception of two things.

Strange Wifi behaviour.

The WiFi seems to go off after the screen has been asleep for 10 - 15 mins. As a result, I don't get any emails when the screen is off. This does not happen on my ipad3 or my Nexus 7. Is this normal for this Nook?

Battery consumption.

I'm getting around 6 to 6.5 hrs of battery life with the brightness on 20% or so.

The strange thing is that Wifi and Tablet Idle seem to be consuming far more power than the screen. The attached pix were taken when the screen-on time was around 3 hrs.

On my Nexus 7, the Tablet Idle and Wifi seem to consume far, far less power than the screen. Can anyone suggest what's causing this?

Other than these problems, it's fantastic to use this tablet with stock android (or as close as this version is!). I really feel that it's a very under-rated and frequently over looked. I wouldn't touch it with stock B+N junk on it though!

Re: [INITIATIVE/RECRUITMENT] ASUS Padfone2 Development /Root/ CustomRecovery(beta) /P

In case of distaster

In case that you've bricked your phone and you can't mount on your custom recovery

-Reboot to bootloader

-Flash stock recovery(It's up there you should be able to find it) "fastboot flash recovery *stockrecovery.img*"

-"fastboot erase cache"

-Boot to your stock recovery

-Sideload ROM to /cache

-install ROM via cache

*you may have to flash insecure boot.img again

Re: [INITIATIVE/RECRUITMENT] ASUS Padfone2 Development /Root/ CustomRecovery(beta) /P

Thanks man you saved me the searching while I'm not yet home!

I figured out a way to root this thing using a combination of these guides that relatively made it simpler(basically how you usually root a device using fastboot and adb) cause some parts just didn't work the first time for me.
[Android General] anjo88:

[Android General] walaway:
It will be relocked and unrooted. Back to stock like out of the box
[Android General] --a3pz0--:
But its not real relocked. So in a warranty case asus would see that the device was unlocked...
[Android General] walaway:
Re: [INITIATIVE/RECRUITMENT] ASUS Padfone2 Development /Root/ CustomRecovery(beta) /P

Technically you're right.

But the tech at Asus has to do extra work to see whether you have previously unlocked it.

Its not like nexus device or other bootloaders where it will display the bootloader as "re-locked"

And "fastboot oem relock" doesnt work

Exactly. Here in Manila they do honor it(maybe depending on the situation, meltdown in mind).

As long as they saw the warranty card they just accept and do it. But they charge cause parts get shipped.

Asus Padfone 2 Garmin Partition problem

I have a issue with my Asus Padfone 2 16gb.... Its the Garmin partition...

I dont line if i have it much but whats getting me is there no way to use it.

I seen a few articles that explain how to put map in that partition and use them but the problem is im in the USA so the maps are real big compared to other maps ive seen.

Here a link that explains how to change maps, but the usa maps are too big to fit in the partition and i dont know what i can delete in the partition to get it to fit

I've manage to install modified ROM using dsixda's kitchen. But dint include other mod (busybox etc). I zipaligned the rom, remove unwanted apps and modify a bit on updater-script.

Did your rom contain root then.. or do we have to flash the tools for them afterwards? (ohh you just wrote it didnt include other mods. sorry :))

I´m planning to do some kitchen my self.. but could you might share you rom for now... ?? :cyclops:

By the way.. I allmost "semi bricked" my phone last night like you did the other day. I also tried to reset to factory within TWRP and got the same problem like you..

But for some reason I didnt have ANY way to push new rom to phone, to flash it.. My computers (windows) didnt recognized the adb driver for some reason. To be honest I dont know at what point my phone got booted successful.. I also did vipe data, vipe dalwik and even so format data in TWRP, so at that point I didnt have ANY rom at my phone.. I was starting to give up pushing a new rom.zip file to my phone from my computer, when I desided to boot up in bootloder and pick the no. 2 choice instead of no. 1 (no. 1 is to pick TWPR)..

After that the phone booted up as factory reset and let me setup the phone from start.. (dont know how.. since I have done a data format and didnt had push any zip file to the phone.)

After the phone got fine again I did test the adb connection to the phone and now its ok.. wird..:confused:

2. Install ROM (Unchecked on "Zip file signature verification")

3. Wipe dalvik (option next to reboot system)

4. Reboot system. Dont swipe to install super user. Chose Dont fix. (dont worry ur phone still rooted. Just update super user app after flashing)

5. Wait till boot. It might take a while.

I already successfully flash ROM with most of kitchen Mod (Busybox, Init.d, bash shell support and custom boot animation). Semi brick again while doing this... :silly:

In a process of uploading it...take forever with my slow internet. I'll upload here once done. The installation step same as above.
