It's because with s-on we can't flash boot.img (kernel) in recovery. So basically you can flash the rom and kernel modules in recovery but you have to fastboot the boot.img in fastboot mode.

I added more to my post, I'm curious if a custom recovery can be fastbooted when the eng hboot is flashed after s-off.

The article I linked to mentioned that custom kernels can't be flashed without s-off, but that probably doesn't apply to our phone because we can.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
No

As far as I'm aware the eng hboot just adds extra functionality to the bootloader menu and changes a few more permissions allowing splash changes and repartitioning. I don't think it circumvents the bootloader lock allowing flashing of custom recoveries. But I could be wrong considering it replaces the factory bootloader and therefor may potentially remove write protection on the recovery.img
[HTC Droid DNA] smokeinluke:
what it means to be s-off

Seems there is a lot of confusion out there bout this and let me break it down.

From my understanding and I think it is accurate. Being s-off means you can literally flash anything you want including any ruu or hboot or radio so this notion that you must still unlock bootloader is ridiculous.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
That's what I was thinking but someone else mentioned the possibility of using the eng hboot to flash recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
I'm fortunately one of the few from before the first update so I'm not really sure but from what I've observed and gathered even after jtag soff it IS still necessary to change Cid and use HTC devunlock before you can change recoveries. If you have evidence otherwise then please present it and we can clean this whole section up of a lot of useless threads and relieve a lot of confusion while greatly simplifying the root process for newer users that elect to jtag
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Jonesin, I'm wondering if you can answer this. Using the original supercid method, after unlocking and fastbooting recovery all we needed to do was flash a SU app so we can have root access. Then we needed an unsecure kernel to make any sys changes stick, and later after we gained s-off an unsecure kernel was no longer needed.

I know to gain supercid an exploit was used, but after that we were still s-on so how did we get admin privileges?
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
To be honest I have no clue. Dsb and zarboz achieved it through some kernel wizardry but we still didn't have the ability to flash anything to the boot partition unless we used fastboot(ie. Still necessary for kernel flashing and we were completely sol for radios and what not) if you checked the commits from dsbs unsecured from right around release and compared them to the systemrwkernel he released later you'd likely find your answer but that's a rabbit hole I don't feel like developing a headache over. Dsb would probably oblige with more info if you asked though... As long as he's got some coffee in his system

Ok wait... To clarify I think I misunderstood. We definitely had root privs while the system was booted after installing su. But we didn't have rw privs on the boot or system partition unless we were in recovery. It was only after they found a workaround in the kernel that we achieved system write privs during system up time. HTC devunlock gave us full root perms during recovery which is an extension of the bootloader

Edit:
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Once you unlock your bootloader you can flash a recovery which can then flash roms(along with su and buaybox), mods, and kernels with the help of fastboot. Someone figured out(dsb I think) the line in the kernel which let us write to /system. All that with s on.
[HTC Droid DNA] smokeinluke:
xplain

Well first off there are only 2 reasons to super cid

1. To use on different carriers or radio frequencies.

2. To trick htcdev into unlocking your bootloader without an official unlock for the device.

Next when you flash the eng hboot or a modified hboot it replaces the current hboot.

Also once you have replaced the locked hboot with a nodded hboot you have no need to further unlock.

And the only way to flash a modded hboot is with s-off therefore if you solve the riddle s-off means no restrictions as long as you replace the locked hboot with a modified one. This is the truth ask any good dev and they will back it up.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
I'm not referring to the kernel, if you look at the old How to Root thread it says after fastbooting a custom recovery all we have to do is flash SU and busybox. I'm guessing whatever exploit beaups and jcase used to get supercid persists through the unlocking process.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
No, the unlock process gives us the ability to do that. If our phone was supported on htcdev we would need no exploits in order to flash recoveries, superuser, busybox, roms, kernels, etc.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Makes sense. That was my assumption in thinking that the eng hboot might allow you to circumvent HTC devunlock. Wasn't sure though. Thank you for clarifying and hopefully everyone sees your post it will end a lot of Confusion.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

No. The exploit they used caused a one time access to mmcblk?5? Which allowed modification of cid. It has nothing to do with our ability to flash recovery or su after devunlock. That is provided By devunlock

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

However I don't necessarily condone this method as eng hboot makes it much easier to brick your device. Otherwise c above
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
So it looks like the process is:

S-off via jtag

Fastboot the eng hboot or unlocked hboot

Fastboot custom recovery

Flash SU and busybox

Profit

If that's accurate then the jtag folk can skip the sulercid and unlocking step.

And thanks gentlemen for answering my questions. I didn't know unlocking gave us admin privileges.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
You are correct sir. And np
[HTC Droid DNA] smokeinluke:
supercid skip

Yes but there is a certain way you must flash the enghboot it would be...

Fastboot OEM reboot ruu

Fastboot flash zip (name of zip).zip

Fastboot reboot

You need to make sure that you put the hboot zip in your fastboot home directory
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Lol fastboot 101 should be a requirement in the DNA forum. It's a necessity without a doubt.
[HTC Droid DNA] karn101:
Ah, so the Eng. HBOOT is already unlocked. (If I am assuming correctly.) Makes sense, why would engineers want a locked bootloader...

I should be getting my phone back sometime this week so I will be giving that a shot without going through the Bootloader Unlock process.
[HTC Droid DNA] Argumentation:
The command is

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Capitalization is important when using command line. :good: ;)

Round trip time for JTAG from MTV?

Hey all,

Since this is the JTAG thread.....I've come into possession of a second schweet red "President's Cabinet" DNA, so I'm probably going to use it for a week or so before sticking it on the 'bay. This'll give me time to JTAG "my" DNA. Could anyone with experience let me know how long the round-trip JTAG service was for them? It'd be nice to have a bit of an average to see if I should overnight the sucker.....yes, I'm _that_ impatient.

Hi,

I'm using the the RIL_Initialize-Call from the stril.zip.

(The programm works well - thank you for your great work!!! ;o)

Now I'd tried to implement the RIL in an own project with more Classes and now, there's a problem:

I've got a class KKsmsIn. doRIL, resultCallback, notifyCallback (KKsmsIn::doRil a.s.o.) are implemented as public (tried also private). Whenn I trie to compile the programm then line

RIL_Initialize(1, resultCallback, notifyCallback...

generates an error: Cannot vonvert parameter 2 from 'void (unsingned long...' to 'void (__cdecl *)(insigned long...'

I'd implemented the RIL.h and RIL.lib, If I mark the resultCallback the description is 'void __cdecl resultCallback(...'

Pse help, think it's a little sign or command which is missing,

but I work since 12 hours on this line and have no idea, how the solution could be :-(

you can do without the global variable, if you pas 'this' for the dwParam in RIL_Initialize, and then cast the dwParam in notify and result back to CRadio*.

Don't worry about overheating- the kernel has some excellent thermal-management code in it that first downclocks you to 800MHz (which will kill your benchmark result :)), then if that doesn't cool you down, shuts down the Note.

Dev or representatives take on exynos quadcore low scores........weak GPU
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sgaheer:
Dont think they are right...

Tried GLBenchmark 2.7 and ran the offscreen t-rex test, got 4.1 fps on the note 10.1.

However on 2yr old dual core evo 3d phone got only 2.8fps, yet the evo got a score of 4000+ on the non-extreme 3dmark test.

Other benchmarks also show that the note 10.1 has a powerful gpu.

Im pretty sure the benchmark is biased or un-optimised for exynos quad
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Yeah, i suspected there was two sides to this story

Maybe a software issue on devs side, or, for the sake of impartiality, samsungs side......the one thing that disapoints me on

my note, is certain app compatibilities, i.e.gameloft games (quadcore exynos sg3 has same issue)

Im having a niggling feeling that samsungs firmwares are a little beyond standard, thus sometimes causing compatibility issues.......not saying thats the case here, but i cant help but notice another incompatibility issue with stock rom quadcore exynos based setup

Other then this very anoying thing, im genuinely happy with the note, but still, these things have a way to fester

Feels like there something up, thats not yet public knowledge, or at least thats the sense i get......would'nt mind being wrong

Edit: been reading on it, consensus seems to be apparently weak or at least older generation gpu (mali 400 if i remember rightly), compared to other devices, even some of the older ones. Im no expert mind you, just reporting an opinion
[LG Optimus G (International)] MrEMahn:
So I've had this phone for probably 4 months now, and it's my first Android, and I've started to become very frustrated with the stock messaging app since it has no "back to message list" button in the top left of the current message screen. I understand that I can return to the list using the escape capacitive key but that can often be a pain since if I've accessed an unread message from the lock screen or notification bar the escape key will usually return me to the home screen or the last application I was using. It's very annoying because then I have to go back to the message app again and open another unread message or compose a new one. Is this driving anyone else nuts or is it just me? It seems that every other phone/android os has this button as well as many other apps such as Gmail, Facebook, etc. I've started using my sms as my primary message app since I find this so annoying.

Any thoughts or fixes?

I am curious if there are any Custom ROMS that do NOT have root access- Or superuser app pre-installed?

The reason I am asking is I need a phone just for work. I need to have access to 2 apps. Good for Enterprise - and Lync 2010.

I used my old Vibrant for this task. I was on ICS Passion but I was unable to install GOOD for enterprise app due to the device being Rooted.

I used ODIN to return to stock settings. I updated the phone to 2.2 via samsung Kies mini.

Now I have Good working but can't download Lync 2010 because the Google market wont update to Google Play.

So in short I need a ROM that is not rooted but has Google Play.

Any ideas would be great..

Thanks!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
There is OTA Rootkeeper from the market that will allow you to delete and restore root at-will. Also I think that SuperSU will allow you to do this as well, only I'm not sure if that is the paid version or not.

For the Google Market to Play thing, I am pretty sure that if you clear data and cache on the Market and Force Close it, it will update on its own. If it is themed, then hit Unintall Updates and then cleanr data and cache and Force Close. Then it should update on it's own too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trainwreck512:
Thank you very much! Force stop on market updater in combination with clearing the cache forced the Google Play upgrade.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aljecama12:
Hello guys:)

I bought a Razr i few weeks ago, it had ICS 4.0 and I upgraded it to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.

I installed Subway Surfers and now it runs (before it didn't) but runs a little laggy.

I installed Need for Speed Most Wanted and it runs like in slow motion:(. Firs I tought that my phone specs were not enough to run it, specially beacuse of the GPU SGX 540.

But I watched a video of a gameplay of Need for Speed Most Wanted running on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it ran very smoothly, I got very surprised because The Galaxy Nexus has a similar GPU but it's screen resolution is 1280x720, it's GPU runs at 384MHz. By the other side the Razr i has a screen resolution of 540x960 and it's GPU runs at 400MHz.

This means that the Razr i must be more powerful than the Galaxy Nexus respecting to graphics.

My own conclusion is that app developers haven't optimized their apps to run on a x86 processor.

What do you guys think? Do anyone else have a problem similar to mine?
