[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Hhhmm, I have used the darkside super wipe before in CWM 6 and have not seen anything like this [I don't anymore no real need for now it as everything cleans up nice under CWM just use mounts and storage and tap to format /system and /data and then just wipe cache and dalvick cahce and install ROM then install GApps.

You sure you used the right CM10 image [listed under the device name Hercules?

I didn't think we had an official stable CM 10 only nightlies.

If you flashed CM10 that you used on a different device then it replaced some critical files that probably caused this.

If I were you keep trying to get to download mode [there is a trick to it, it is like getting in to recovery manually on boot EXCEPT you need to plug in the USB cable right as you see SAMSUNG logo] and even though I have done it countless times there are those times when it takes me several good tries to get back there.

If you can get in to recovery DONT TOUCH THE DEVICE JUST GET IT THERE then plug in a USB cable and see if you can get to adb

if in windows be sure to run cmd [command prompt] as admin

if you can run adb shell and if it comes up with either just $ or # or a bunch of text then $ or # then...

If it is a $ then type in "su" [no quotes]

that way you get #

If it says # then type [again without quotes]: "restart download"

You should even be able to run the following command without opening the shell first but if it defaults to a user shell and not an admin shell [$ is a user shell and # is an admin shell] it may refuse to follow the command:

[again without quotes] "adb restart download"

This should get the phone to restart to download mode without using hardware keys

If you can get in to recovery and can adb shell to it on the computer that may give you a way to run commands and do things manually, but you will need to find guides on exactly how to run recovery via ADB [I have seen cases where you can copy a recovery to the temp section via adb and then manually run a command in adb shell and basically get the device to use the new file until the next restart.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
The darkside scripts will bork any CWM that isn't CWM 5. A much quicker way is to download TWRP recovery and flash it. The recovery will lock up in the the flashing process, but after actually finishing the install. Once it locks up, hold the power button for 10 seconds to reboot. Once the vibration is felt hold both volume buttons and voila! You should be in TWRP recovery now.

I've personally done this myself as I'm the person who actually discovered that the darkside scripts are the cause for borked CWM 6 recoveries. Just don't use them unless you're on CWM 5 or TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Yeah but keep in mind myself and sevral others have had issues with TWRP not formatting partitions correctly [I almost threw a Nexus 7 through the wall for it] and it would boot loop over several different ROM flashes for a whole weekend.until I got tired of it and in a last ditch effort changed back to CWM [this was only a version or 2 ago, oh and one of the TWRP devs tried to convince me their /data wipe should also wipe /sdcard [/data/media in JB] and there was no way around that when in CWM I can go to mounts and storage and wipe /data without touching my user data on sdcard [I say SDCard to differentiate the user data housed in internal storage mounted as /sdcard and not just the user data in /data I know there is no actual SDCard in a Nexus 7] so that didn't inspire a ton of confidence in me.

I NEVER recommend TWRP to new users as it has also incorrectly hosed my boot partition on a flash and bricked my device and I had to get a replacement [This was a few versions ago].

Not saying you will get the same trouble just saying to me it is not worth the gamble when talking about my awesome T989 or Nexus 7.

Not to mention TWRP has a tendency when a JB ROM is installed to mirror the legacy mount points on to the /SDCard [in JB for backwards compatibility you get /storage/emulated/0/sdcard that has to be used by recoveries and when I used TWRP it would create that directory structure on to my SDCard when in fact it is only supposed to be a hard link [the directory /storage/emulated/0/sdcard exists but not on the SDCard it is just a pointer]

so essnetially you would end up with a double copy of your SDCard storage back on your SDCard [files still listed under /sdcard but then on sdcard would be a directory 0 that should not be there and in that would be /SDCard/ and another copy of what was on my SD]. I dunno if that bug has yet to be addressed or not [I think so but have not checked].

If you really want to flash TWRP just use market to download GooManager in Android and open and grant root

Once done hit settings button so you see its menu and tap Open Recovery and it will go through flashing TWRP [Similiar to how ROM Manager can flash CWM recovery for you from inside Android [must have Super User access first or they can't do so and you would then need to use Odin and flash it that way]]. Keep in mind your recovery should never freeze and CWM has never done so for me even as part of any install process.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Oh don't mistake my comment Lola I only said to flash TWRP over CWM just so he can have a fully working recovery again. Once that step is done flash back over to CWM 6 again. I myself prefer CWM or TWRP. This is just a method of dumping a borked CWM installation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Well Lola as you say, so would opening ROM Manager from inside Android and just tapping to flash the Recovery from the app without having to worry about ADB and manual commands and a run around [as long as you have root access of course].
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Haha sorry about that. I meant lol :) if he can get into his ROM, then why hasn't he done so yet? I assumed what happened to him is what happened to me. Flashed dark side wipe, formatted phone, then every install afterwards failed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I figured you meant LoL but Lola was funner so I used it again. I was not sure if originally he was one of the posts that siad he could have booted back or not [depends onn where the script froze in recovery as to whether Android boots].

If he can't then the easier way for most folks without having to go in to ADB running cmd as admin if using Windows, the commands and all

I would just say grab good ol Odin and CWM Recovery flash [Odin compatible usually is cwm-hercules-blah.md5 [in this case is not a text file with MD5 hash check it is the actual recovery] and have them flash it via Odin and fix it all up at once and besides they can get CWM touch for free if using Odin and searching the forums because if you dont mind flashing with Odin CWM touch is offered free here whereas if you use ROM Manager and try to flash Touch version of CWM that way it will charge you $2 per device [if you choose market pay option it should be tied to your account and that devices ID and allow future installs without charge [at least how it is for me had to pay once for my T989 once for my 8G Nexus 7 and the n once when I upgraded to 32G Nexus 7, but multiple installs on each individual device don't prompt me after I paid once [I have plenty of times where I may need to flash my recovery without computer access [and I know Koush myself so I like to donate his way he really does bust his ass :) ] so the ability to just flash the touch version via ROM Manager is great for myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Warbuff:
I tried adb when I had the device. The Usb port I believe is damaged. I also tried using a flashable twrp and it stopped right before installation. When I restarted cwm was still there. Odin doesn't detect the phone even with the right drivers. It detects a gs3 and a skyrocket. To answer the question above there is a a cm10 stable for the Hercules. Do you think maybe I'm using the wrong flashable twrp. It just gets stuck on installing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I believe I had TWRP 2.3.0.0. You should be able to find a zip somewhere or you can PM casonswag and ask him for it. He's the one who's been making flashable TWRP zips. Just make sure its for the Hercules.

One question though, does the phone have a ROM you can boot into or is it wiped.completely? Cuz if so, you can download goomanager or rommanager and flash a new recovery that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Warbuff:
Only have access to the messed up recovery. No rom available to boot into.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Try PMing casonswag for twrp 2.3.0.0. That's what I used and it worked. If not.. man I really don't know :-/

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generic.imitation:
I have a 2011 Jetta, and after I took it in today for servicing I turned on my radio. When I turned it on I noticed that I had a lockscreen with what appeared to be Android running on it. I took it back to the dealership, but not before I snapped a picture of the screen in question. I've attached it to this post.

I had a few questions that hopefully someone here might know:

Is this actually Android, or are the button icons just similar?

Can I root it? :silly:

If I can root it, can I install a GPS navigation program like Google Maps or any other helpful software for that matter?
[HTC Droid DNA] manzdagratiano:
I am running stock DNA, rooted, and with CWM touch recovery. For myself, being root is not merely a luxury, it is a need. Most importantly, I cannot stand having a crippled unix terminal without busybox, which of course, requires root.

I know not what the imminent OTA will bring, but root is too precious to risk losing. I would therefore like to engage in a DNA-specifc discussion about disabling the OTA update.

From what I can tell so far, the two methods include:

1) renaming the otacerts.zip file in /etc/security to a .bak file. This will not work in the present case, since /etc is mounted at /system/etc, and /system can only temporarily be mounted rw due to us being stuck with "S-ON" for now.

2) installing "FOTAkill.apk", or, flashing its corresponding zip (attached below) in custom recovery. Again, in the present case, this file was written for the EVO, and will most certainly not work. The updater-script in the zip can be modified to reflect the correct mount points, but there is a corresponding binary which I have no clue contains what, and would certainly need some expert opinion about.

Any ideas ye fine fellers?
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
You could always do load ota root keeper from the market back your root up temp un root via app update ota and then re root using the app, I have done this on other devices and I never lost root. Worked well. Might be worth a shot.
[HTC Droid DNA] SolusCado:
There are system writable kernels out there, and you can always rename your files in recovery. S-Off is not an issue in this scenario.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
delete checkinprovider.apk, cotaclient.apk, and updater.apk from /system/app
[HTC Droid DNA] manzdagratiano:
I have indeed heard this alternative thrown around but I am not willing to chance it; I have seen an equal amount of horror stories about people having their systems fried with this method (the Droid X for instance, which I had and where the last update broke root).

I will look at what's out there and if it is stable enough to be flashed. How does one rename files in recovery though? I rebooted into CWM (touch) and I see no such option - unless you can remount a partition and rename files in it somehow.

This avenue seems promising. Has anyone tried this before? Also, how does one delete these in the S-ON situation? (I'm assuming recovery is the answer). I feel if I remounted rw, deleted and then rebooted, they will be right back where they are.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you install a kernel with /system writing enabled you can just delete them normally.
[HTC Droid DNA] manzdagratiano:
Great... thanks! I am looking into custom kernels. By the way, if custom kernels that do allow write to /system can be concocted, why is S-ON an issue at all? I was under the impression that this has to do with NAND memory being inaccessible, which seems to be a lower level issue than the kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
With s on we can not.

Flash radios

Flash kernels in recovery.

Change the splash screen

Go back to a locked bootloader

And a few other things I'm probably forgetting.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomsheeley:
My system started as a 1.3 NC, that I successfully rooted using nooter, but a year ago last Oct ( 2011 ) and OTA update removed my rooting. After a couple weeks, someone posted a "fix" that restored my root access, but also bocked the OTA update.

A few weeks ago, I screwed up and mistakenly tried to install a Android Market update, and it BROKE my system. So I desided that this was a great time to update the NC to it's current OS level ( 1.4.3 ) and tried to follow the instructions on restoring the NC to "factory" fresh state... but thats where it started to go wrong!

Using the clockwork recovery sdcard I used to root the system, it FAILED to erace / format the Data area, probubly because I "fixed" it when I had the problem over a year ago with the OTA update.

Now no matter who's instructions I follow, I can't get that data section deleted so I can restore the system,

What I want to do restore/update the NC to current level, and THEN to reroot.

Currenly, the ONLY way I can use the NC is with the newest N2A image on a sdcard, but there is a huge speed penalty that way!

Can ANYONE help!

Thanks in Advance!

Twrp 2.4.1.0

Hi leapinlar and tomsheeley,

Due to 10 posts rule I cannot reply to eyeballer's thread (I'll send him a pm instead). tomsheeley might try TWRP 2.3.1.0 after he root his NC as more friendly. Today I tried to upgrade to	TWRP 2.4.1.0 available in #129 post. The problem I had with fixing permissions was solved by deleting the folder emmc/TWRP using a root explorer (I use Root Browser Lite free from market).

The problem is common I think with SGS+ and I found it by watching this thread.

Thanks and sorry for posting here but watching that you are posting in fattire's thread and I think my feedback might helps.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hmmwhatsthisdo:
AT&T's "4G" is actually HSPA+ unless it actually says "4G LTE". In fact, it even mentions this in the fine print of their ads.

If you only saw the "4G" icon in a stock rom, you will see the H+ icon in CM because they're both refering to HSPA+.

If so does the card need to be formated with any special file system?

My 'normal' 128gb sdcard is NTFS, but I do have a number of microsd's

and carriers that can be formatted any way needed. :confused:

Since MTP has issues with large numbers of files, can I use something

like ES file explorer or Root file explorer (or some other file manager)

to copy (backup) the /sdcard file system to either the microsd card

or the dock's sdcard? On my ICS phones I just UMS mount the

two file system (/sdcard and the microsd card) to windows

and use Goodsync to sync changes to my desktop for backup.

With MTP's issues and UMS not available I figured backup to

card and physically moving it to desktop to sync was the

available option.
