[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BO7AMMOOD-N10:
Hey guys

I tried the one-click root toolkit for mac from android rootz.

Something apparently has gone wrong during the root and I got some error messages and it didn't proceed. Next thing I know the nexus is stuck on google X logo and that's it. It won't load. I tried to recover through the recovery mode a couple of times but now I get the red warning sign when I go into recovery mode. This is only the second day I've had the nexus for. I feel like crying. Please Help :(
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnip:
When the red sign appears press the volup down buttons and power button randomly until you get into recovery then factory reset
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disconn3ct:
My 7 and 10 both did that. Just hold power until it turns off, then boot a recovery, wipe everything except system and reboot. It'll come up ok.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooterbaga:
I'm having the same issue. However, the recovery I have installed is the non-functional CWM. So I can't factory reset. (I managed to once before CWM bombed, but it didn't change anything.)

I've tried several options via the toolkit. After fighting with the app all day it's finally wound up just saying it can't find adb? (I have a growing dislike for this app and have since uninstalled it.) Adb is right where it belongs and seems to run fine from cmd.

I also can't seem to flash anything via fastboot for some reason. The device throws "failinvaild id command" and fastboot immediately crashes on my laptop.

I managed to get it unlocked. However, I'm unable to flash anything to straighten it out...

Any help would be great.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooterbaga:
Thanks for the info. My situation wasn't quite the same as my CWM was the real issue, which wouldn't run long enough to allow for the factory reset boot-loop solution. Kept at it and managed to get CWM to finish the individual formats/resets one at a time.

With a now bootable device, I'm off to replace the recovery... Thanks again.
[HTC One V] pstch:
Hello XDA,

I've been following you for years. I started following you with my first Android phone, an HTC Hero. I've been very happy to be able to use a community ROM that made a far better experience than the stock ROM.

I recently got a brand new HTC One V PrimoU, and I'd like to make it my new polyvalent tool.

I'm not a noob in computers, kernel/linux related stuff, electronics, networking. I already tried some ROMs. In fact, I started with KangBang 3.0 (the same version as now I think), but both WiFi and BlueTooth were not working. Android could not even detected the WiFi MAC address, so I guess it was a driver or wireless chip firmware related problem. I think I was the only one affected, so it was maybe a bad flash or I used the wrong kernel. I did'nt investigate more at the time, but if it happens again to me, I'll send some system/kernel logs.

I then tried AOKP, had a great (really) experience with it, except that the Jack plug sound quality was awful. No bass, only mid/high tones. I even thought my speakers were dead at first, but then tried with headphones. Now, I want to try KangBang again, because that ROM was good, and fast, just missing WiFi.

TL;DR

I'd like to ask some precise questions about KangBang and the HTC One V.

I initially wanted to ask in the ROM dev thread, but can't since I'm a new user, so I ask here. Sorry if the questions are stupid/simple/answered, but let's make a clear base, with precise interrogations and answers, so that they will never be asked again :)

The kernel is included in the .zip file. Still, do we need to flash manually ? Or will the Aroma installer handle that ?

What about ROM Manager ? Is it recommended to use or is it a good way to brick a phone as I heard ?

Does this ROM change the base Android system and file structure ? Would it be compatible with a side-by-side installation of a Linux system such as Debian ? (To see what I mean by side by side installation of Linux, search Debian Kit for Android on Google, as I can't post links)

Also, I'd like to tell ROM makers these advices (don't take them bad, I you think I'm wrong about them there's no problem, just tell me why) :

It would not be a bad idea to give a simple statistic about the ROM : the load average with the ROM installed on an idle and clean phone. That would give a good indication of idle power consumption and ressource wasting.

I see that users reporting problems with their devices NEVER include any kind of debug information. Maybe you should ask for them, just because by searching for this debug information they might solve the problem themselves. Most Android systems and kernels report a LOT of information, that we can access with simple commands such as dmesg.

Last but not least, I would like to thank you, ROM developers and XDA users for allowing me to play this way with my phone, and to make it work exactly the way I want.

Hugo G.,
[HTC One V] Lloir:
ummm this device has kangbang?? (btw questions go into q&a ;) )

so i'll move onto the TL;DR which i was grateful for :P

1) The rom thread should say what kernel but yes, we don't have s-off so flashed manually

2) Ignore rom manager don't touch it

3) think of it as the differences say with debian vs ubuntu vs mint all basically debian but all with they're own differences (pros and cons)

also about the "suggestions" to the devs, that will NEVER go down well, why should YOU suggest to use what to put in the threads also i know in my threads i ASK for logcats time and time again...

hope this helps

if you need more info i'll be welcome to add more, but 1st i need sleep BADLY :p

Hi guys touch in rom is fine but in CWM only vol keys work any fix or another recovery that does work and is tested ?

Would really like touch recovery back i listen to music alot so my volume keys need to get a break somewhere :)

Thanks in advance guys
[HTC One X] Braindamage1989:
I am using TWRP and never had any problems with it. Also touch works here.

And from what I know, when I used CWM there is a touch and non-touch version.

Maybe you got the non-touch version. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Those on the right are with touch. ;)
[HTC One X] adamnz:
I'm guessing you are on HTC__023 or telnz001?

it's the Touch Panel fw upgrade http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2139375

There is a TWRP that has touch working, but usb mount and adb are not working, I wouldn't recomend as some users reported some corruption of data on their sd card

I'd recommend a non-touch cwm as it make navigating in aroma easier

We'll just have to wait until recoveries are rebuilt using the new 3.17 sources

Hi all. I´m using atomig gb 3.0 on my PRO. This the best rom a try for my device. So far, only one probem. When I try to send a SMS, a get force close, on process com.sonyericsson.conversations. MMS works fine. Any help?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmos929:
that's strange... I also use atomic GB 3 in my PRO and don't have any issue... I use Ultima kernel btw.

I can only think of rebooting to recovery, cleaning dalvik and then fixing permissions, reboot phone (will take longer) and check again...

If that doesn't work, I would make a clean install of the ROM which consists in:

* flash kernel

* Reboot in recovery

* factory reset

* wipe cache

* wipe dalvik, batt stats

* format /system

* fix permissions

* flash ROM

* flash patch for PRO

* flash WiFi modules

* wipe dalvik

* fix permissions

* "reboot and enjoy"

This is the process I always follow when flashing a ROM and usually saves me trouble... I read somewhere that Force Closes often occur due to permissions problems

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgriffi:
I received the OTA update of 4.1.1 for my Galaxy Tab2 7.0 and installed it without a hitch. I now want to root the device. Working from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1887757 and after several false starts I figured out how to get the clockworkmod recovery image installed. I rebooted into CWM's recovery partition and selected cwm-root-gtab2.zip from the external sdcard. I then rebooted and made sure to disable the rom from overwriting CWM recovery. Upon booting into the Android environment, I found a new app: Superuser. I then installed Rootchecker to check to see if the device was indeed rooted. It said that it was not. Curious, I did "adb shell" on my Linux box and noticed that I could become root by typing "su" there. I installed AdAway and it complained "Either the su binary could not be found or you did not allow root permission for AdAway.". None of these root-requiring apps caused a dialog asking for root permission to pop up. What am I doing wrong?

AW: [Q] wifi tethering

If you are on stock SE firmware, even if you have rooted your phone, Wifi tethering wont work for you, as the stock firmware does'nt support tethering. Here is a link with a list of tutorials and custom ROMs (I think all ROMs from android 2.3 support tethering):

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1588192

The easiest way would be to install xrecovery on your stock kernel (you'll find one under "stock kernel based custom ROMs) and then flash a GingerBread(2.3) ROM via xrecovery.

Please press thanks if I helped :D .
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mzzxx11:
Tnx.

Im using the stock SE ROM.

Kernel 2.6.29

Any chance I could get wifi tethering working w/o installing a custom ROM?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kilroy.:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kilroy.:
AW: [Q] wifi tethering

Don't be afraid of flashing Roms in stock kernel, its simplicity itself. If you have already rooted your phone, here's a quick how-to:

1.Download stericson's busybox from the market & install newest version (currently 1.20.2, I think)

2.Download the zip file in this post

3.Download script manager from the market.

4. Extract the files onto your sdcard so that you find the files "chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar, readme.txt, installer" in sdcard/download/xrecovery.

5.Open script manager, give superuser permissions (tick 'browse as root' on first startup), navigate to the folder you extracted and run 'installer' as root (tip on the superuser symbol on the top left corner. When activated, it should be green).

6.Download the Rom you want to flash onto your sdcard, a link you'll find in my earlier post(only choose from stock kernel based roms)

7.Reboot.

8. When the SE logo appears, press back button quickly several times. You will boot into xrecovery.

9.Make a backup via xrecovery.

10.wipe data via xrecovery and install your downloaded rom, surprise, via xrecovery.

11.reboot&enjoy!

PS: Sorry, forgot to upload the zip file, will upload tomorrow, as it's getting late now ;) .
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mzzxx11:
Tnx :)

Looking forward to the files you've mentioned.

1. Can I create a backup of the current kernel & ROM (the SE stock ones which the phone arrived with)?

In case something breaks during the process, I could hopefully revert to these.

2. Can I get the wifi tethering functionality without updating the kernel, only by installing a new ROM?

When I tried the "wifi tether for root users" app it showed an error message that the kernel is missing some components.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kilroy.:
Xrecovery

So, here is the zip.

PS: All credits go to the guys in the following link (quangnhut123), he uploaded the files, I only wrote the installer script ;) .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950324

Change in step 4:

4. Extract the files onto your sdcard so that you find the files "chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar, readme.txt, installer" in sdcard/download/xrecovery.

Yes, you are able to restore your previous system via an xrecovery backup.

Please press thanks if this worked for you. If it didn´t please tell me what went wrong, I will fix asap.

NOTE: I havn't tested this yet, because I havn't had time to reflash & root my X10 MP. As said above, if it doesn't work, I will fix ;) .
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
When I used the stock ROM, I used brancle for wifi tethering, It worked. Unfortunately, I do not remeber the exact settings. But I'm sure, It works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mzzxx11:
Thanks Kilory.

What about my question regarding the kernel? as I mentioned, when I tried the other tethering app, the error it displayed was that the kernel is missing some components. so If I use the stock kernel, and only install a new ROM, will this still allow wifi tethering, or do I need to flash a new kernell as well?

Well, I don't think your kernel is missing components, that would

1. Disprove the links in your post and

2. Disprove what tommy posted.

Also, I'm pretty sure that when I was on Minicm7Pro (with stock kernel), I had wifi tethering.

First of all, did the script work (yet)? Have you tried it yet? Sorry, I havn't tested yet, but I will do so today.

Secondly, MiniCM7pro always worked well for me, but if you like the stock SE style, try SonyStyle by the same developer.

are u saying this is still ROM flashing procedure is still experimental? what if script breaks and bricks my phone?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
Actually, I remembered, that i can simply see the settings in my wife's mini, which is with the stock ROM, and uses Brancle. I just tried it, works flawlessly. The phone is only rooted, nothing more. Here are the settings:

SSID - elka

BSSID - empty

Wireless encyption - five low-case letters, no numbers, no symbols, for example - abcde, ASCII encoding

Channel - 6

Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - none

Skip wpa_supplicnat - not checked

Auto Associate - not checked

Accsess control - not checked

New client actions - Notify (checked), Sound - Play a ringtone, Light - empty, Allow - empty

Local mode - checked,

DHCP - Gw - 192.168.5.1, Mask - 255.255.255.0, First Host - 100, Lease time - 1200 sec, DNS1 and 2 - empty

NAT - leave everything default

WAN- rmnet0

LAN - empty

What do you mean when you say "laptop failed to connect to phone" - tries, but can't get address, or nothing happens? If nothing happens, try to press the "Associate" button.

I remember, that there was something strange with the password - make it as simple as you can. If it is not working, try temporarily to disable encryption.

I cannot tell the version of Brancle I am using, but Market doesn't offer me an update, so it must the latest one, at least for the stock x10 mini with stock ROM. If you know how to check it - tell me, i will do it.

And something else - check the security settings of the laptop - are the Ad-Hoc networks and WEP encryption allowed? Brancle makes Ad-hoc only, not infrastructural.

Good luck!

EDIT/

As I see from market, the version of Brancle is 0.6.7 (evo)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mzzxx11:
Tnx Tomny.

I set the same settings as u did, still no luck.

Im using linux (debian), with network manager, which should be able to connect to an adhoc network,

any ideas?

Update:

It works for only a single time. The gnome network manager defined the wireless network as "infrastructre", and I changed it to "adhoc".

It connected once, but Im not being able to reconnect again now. ;-(

any suggestions?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tomny:
Try to connect some other device, to see whether the problem is in the device, or in the Mini/Brancle. What do you mean, saying "not being able to reconnect"? - You cannot see network, you see it, but nothing happens when trying to connect, you can try to connect, but cannot aquire address (ie stuck on "connecting...")
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mzzxx11:
