Hi, I've rooted my phone by [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.3 and this toolkit install twrp, next I install clockwork but when i open rom manager I see in recovery already installed: clockwork and twrp. So how to uninstall twrp completely ?

That pic is telling you you have TWRP installed and offering to let you install CWM. There is only one recovery partition. Just install CWM and that's what you'll be running. Though I must say that I can't see why you would want to.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamkuba:
actually I have CWM, but I don't know why in rom manager in recovery already installed is CWM and TWRP. It means that TWRP isn't all uninstalled?

Boot into recovery and find out which one you have.

Yesterday I spend the whole day trying to gain root on my Nexus S while preserving my precious data on the phone.

Ho do I gain root without wiping my data?

Is there currently a way at all?

All I need is to be pointed into the right direction.

I'd be really thankful for helpful responses.

Thanks for reading :)

I have:

a functional ADB connection

a locked Bootloader

a stock Recovery

a Desktop Backup Password set which is unknown to me

I tried gaining root with:

SRS One Click Root for Android

Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v26

I ruled out:

Unlocking the Bootloader

doing a Factory reset

creating a backup via desktop backup since I have set an unknown password

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
An unknown password on ur phone?

What data u talking about?

Copy it all to ur computer before rooting then copy it back. Backup ur SMS with "SMS backup +" then restore it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You can't.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmantovani:
OK, so I was writing this big reply telling how I don't think that rooting makes you lose you data and all. Then I googled it for a bit (as it's been a long time since I rooted mine, I could be wrong) and found out I was indeed wrong :P

Thing is, when you unlock your bootloader, as a safety precaution, your data partition is erased. As far as I can tell, there's nothing you can do about that.

OK, so you don't want to unlock the bootloader, you want to simply gain root access, right? So, it should be doable. I don't believe that just flashing a recovery will erase your data partition (i think).

There's this guide I found that should help you. Just remember to read the whole thing through before following it :P

completeandroid.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/complete-guide-to-rooting-the-nexus-s

Now, about that desktop backup password. Initially, I don't think that should be a problem. After you have root access you can use something like Titanium Backup to backup all your data and then unlocking the bootloader (if you want to do that). I don't have my desktop backup password set, so I'm not sure this would work.

Hope I have helped.

Cheers!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maisam.asif:
The simple answer is that you cant... i tried a lot, but failed :(

If you want all your precious data restored in its original position, get Titanium Backup and backup everything... Restore it after getting rooted...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 166_MMX:
Partially resolved

Thanks for all your replies.

Luckily I was able to brute force guess the forgotten Desktop Backup Password. So for me the topic is resolved since I now was able to make a full Desktop Backup. Unlock the Bootloader and restore the backup.

I did set the password at a time where I got ICS and wanted to give it a try just to realize that the full backup is more designed for development purposes then for the end user. At that point I just abort that mini project and forgot about it. That's how I forgot the testing password I initially set when I got ICS.

For me this issue is resolved for someone else having the same issue probably not.

So at the time writing I don't know of any root exploit in existence that works for a stock build 4.1.2/JZ054K

hehe @gmantovani I also stumbled about that blog post, followed it's instructions just to realize that it didn't apply for my case.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seibott:
You can use Go Backup to backup everything you don't want to lose, that is in the SD Card. But it's usually SMS and Call-logs so I'd personally use SMS-Backup/Restore and CallLogs-Backup/Restore apps to do it. Contacts will be synced with your Gmail account and photos will be stored in your SD card.

Hi guys,

I've read about tegra thermal throttling on google and searched files responsible for it. On our O4X they're located in /d/tegra_thermal/ and /d/tegra throttle.

Official jellybean hasn't solved any of gaming problems, there is still no multicore usage with both GTA's and FPSE. And since users report that games have run ok on older firmwares ( before LG introduced agressive thermal throttling) my idea is that someone can post these files from before 10d ( I think, any input from different firmwares welcome ! ) .

Then we will be able to figure best values for files from /tegra_thermal and layout of tegra_table from /tegra_throttle

These tables seem interesting, there are four tabs of values ( for each core maybe ? ) and values from 0 to 13 in []. If we compare it to tables from previous firmwares we could learn something about them.

I haven't found any Nvidia docs about tegra thermal throttling, so if anyone of you have, please post them ;)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
I read this threads carefully, and one is even started by me ;) BTW: Great work about disabling thermal protection !

But I started this thread mainly to COMPARE values from different firmwares , and figure the structure of tegra_table 0 and 1. I haven't found about them anything anywhere and they look very interesting.

Having more info will only provide more undestanding of tegra throttling mechanism, so we will be able to fine tune it according to user needs.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
:laugh:

i didn't realise you were the OP of the thread:crying:. yes the tables you mentioned are pretty interesting. maybe we can get some insights from HOX since they uses tegra 3 too.

btw, Microsoft Surface has Tegra 3 chip also.:eek:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
You guys are insane, really. First of all, we have to know maximum temperature on Tegra 3 in O4X. Then developers can do something and just watch. Maybe LG did thermal protection because off bad internal design. We must be careful, especially with our hands.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
Don't worry Winudert, our phones won't explode in our hands. As far as we leave temp_shutdown intact nothing gonna happen. There's no maximum temperature, every SoC is different , but with default value in temp_shutdown, as I said there's nothing to worry about.

Devs are busy making other tasks like kernels and ROMs. You don't have to be a dev to edit some files, which is pretty straightforward. I won't sit still if I can do something usefull ! :D

On topic: Waiting for someone to share their files, especially form v20B or v10D/v10H :)

EDIT: Downloading 1300 pages of tegra 3 technical manual, if I find something usefull , I'll post it here.

EDIT2: Manual is low-level, usefull to asm programmers and kernel developers, no word about linux on tegra , so obviously no explaination of it's config files. Our only hope is to compare files across different firmwares, so please upload.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
But my O4X is kinda hot after 10 minutes playing Real Racing 3 at Medium settings (official V20A) with a little lag when I see more than three cars at one time. It's really upsetting , because my Nexus 7 can handle this game at High, also HTC One X member says the same, so I'm just waiting for custom kernels and ROMs. I definitely will buy next Nexus 7 if he will be faster than Tegra 3 powered first gen version, but I will skip this years high-end smartphones and will buy one next year, so I will stick with O4X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
It is normal that it's hot. If it will become dangerously hot i will turn off. ( no matter if we delete temp_shutdown , as I read tegra3 has built in hardware protection). So to enable our LG to use more cores we have to tune thermal protection. Everything is in tegra_tables. There are four tabs for each core, and lower the number, more cores are shutdown, that's my prediction. But i won't do anything until someone share their files.

Values from v10a:

Tegra Thermal

Interestingly thats it in v10a, no throttle table, not that I can find anyway :confused: . Gamings pretty smooth to, gta runs like it would on my pc, spidermans pretty playable, NFS is so much better (but not lag free). The drawback is bad battery

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
You sure you looked in right directories ( all beggining with tegra_ in /d/ ) ? If yes, there's probably no throttling at all in v10A ;)

But reverse enginering current firmwares to behave like v10A is beyond my reach ;) So we need throttle tables from v20B and firmwares newer than v10A. Thanks for input though, it is very valuable !

Yep, checked again there is nothing in there, probably why its so smooth but battery is crap

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
So there's no thermal throttling implemented at all in v10A. Which firmware solved heat issues everyone was complaining about ? We need files from it , and one previous firmware to compare it, it would be the best.

Sorry for not posting anything new, but I don't have time today to try editing values ( school) maybe tommorrow I will edit them and check performance. Hopefully someone till tommoro will upload his files ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
does the apk nvcplsv.apk has anything to do?

what's confirmed is that its nvidia's gaming profiles afaik. maybe we can meddle with that too to find out something.

JB system/app with odex
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
Maybe , I will analyse it tommorow. If has some easy to edit config files inside it might be IT. But if it's only compiled program I can't do anything. I'm not a skilled hacker, to load it in IDA and disassemble it, neither I know ARM assembly so it's useless to ME.

So it is, should've looked harder but I'm lazy :P these values are a lot different, someone needs to try them on JB, perhaps we can get the smoothness of v10a in JB :D oddly I haven't noticed more heat so this throttling thing is pointless! Only thing is there are 2 tables in JB with more values, but just this one in v10a, but maybe if we make those both the same as one is probably for a higher temperature? Dunno what to do with remaining extra values though

I don't care for unlock anymore if I can have v10a performance in JB :D

Damn, tried to edit tables, I can't edit them no matter whether I set permissions or not , edit them via root explorer, or over adb :/ they can't be deleted, nor edited. And I'm not an idiot, I mounted filesystem r/w .
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Maybe some good news, I bought tegra overclock (not to be confused with TEGRAK overclock) from google play, forcing multi core on works but doesn't increase performance. This means throttling is keeping the frequency down, but I mailed the dev seeing if he can add option to disable throttling. Reply is as follows: Sure why not? even we are working on that from quite some time and were skeptical about its use at first, but since you mentioned now we are sure atleast a single person on Earth needs this :) Don't you worry we will be providing the update sooner than even you think. By the way can you tell us in which app you are getting poor performance.. Is it a game or what let us know so that if something else is responsible we can take care of that, please be as detailed as possible about every settings you are using while experiencing lag.

SUCCESS !

I'm now on v20B. I couldn't play GTA VC and GTA III, they both used only one core.. Now using tegra overclock app I forced all cores online and... BOOM Vice city play flawlessly on 100 % res and 80 % draw distance. Cores are used most of the time from 30 to 70 % . But when I enable only two it's 80 -100 % use. Same goes for Shadowgun THD, no lagging when enabled two cores, flawless on four cores.

I have no time today and tommorrow to post screenshots and test FPSE and Real Racing 3. I will do it day after tommorrow , probably I'll start a new thread. Too bad this app is not so cheap :(

UPDATE: FPSE uses two cores ! OpenGL still not enjoyable but I think it's due to GPU. With OpenGL disabled it gets constant 60 fps , it's butter smooth, music is finally not lagging ( even when I underclock to 1ghz). On only one core it lags on 1 GHz, and on 1,5 Ghz it's not buttery smooth, as it is with 1Ghz but two cores forced online.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
So this app is good on JB? On ICS it forced them online but they stayed on very light load, as if they are ignored :confused: Can you get hold of amazing spiderman and try that? Nothing I do makes it smooth, its playable on v10a but barely

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] FunkyRasta:
OK , I'm going to try this game, just give me a little time ;) Well with no cores forced online GTA VC uses one core at 99 percent load, and is unplayable, with two cores forced it uses 85-100 percent of both cores, with three enabled load is like 60 70 percent for each core and is smooth , four cores are IMO overkill. What sucks, is that RR3 uses only one core still , other are ignored, it its smooth for me only on lowest graphic settings. GTA III is nowhere smooth as VC , Rockstar made a giant leap in multithreading , GTA III uses only two cores, where VC can use four at 40 to 60 percent load.

You sure you didn't install TEGRAK overclock? This is for samsung devices, don't know why they gave it that name, so deceiving :p.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] LMartins.338:
I think the thermal control of the tegra 3 on 20a seeks the lowest battery consumption

and reduced heating of the phone, not that I support, more things must change soon ...

I will explain why, when the game Horn ta to 1400 mhz cpu using all 4 cores and not left with no lag even in open areas, nothing of the appliance heats up a bit, something 5 minutes cpu continues to use the 4 cores but 1000 mHz

it in open areas in the game already feels a delay especially when the camera moves.
