Hey guys, . I have a WFS with the following data shown in boot-loader mode.

marvel pvt ship S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.09.0099

MicroP - 0451

Radio-7.57.39.10M

Feb 8 , 2012.

I did some search and all through out the forum regarding S-OFF , S-ON and boot-loader Unlocking. I know the difference between S-OFF and S-ON. But, i didn't get the answers for the following.Please help me on the following few queries :)

1- When do we call our phone rooted? Is it when we unlock the boot-loader with S-OFF the device? or unlocked boot loader with S-ON will do? I have unlocked boot-loader and still my Phone is in S-ON mode. This means it is still rooted, right?

2- I have issues while flashing some ROMs.(Most of the 'marvelous' ROMs don't work for me :( , but Sense ROMs work like a charm) . Most of the times, while installing a ROM, device gets stuck at the boot logo. Is this because my device is S-ON due to which root permission is denied for the ROM whichever is trying to write to the phone memory? is there any difference while flashing a ROM if the device is S-ON or S-OFF? (I have read that S-OFF gives full NAND access and S-ON gives temporary Root access only . Could this be the reason? )

3- This one is regarding CWM recovery. When we wipe all the stuff using CWM, then there it is not having any previous data of ROM in the internal memory , right? I mean, after clearing dalvik cache,battery stat, cache partitions, and factory reset , then all the data/pgms regarding the ROM which ever we have previously installed in the phone are gone , right? So that we can install a fresh ROM. right? Its exactly like formatting our PC, right?

Consider this scenario in respect to the above query. I am trying to install Tigger's Wild-child ROM, the setup wizard crashed for some reason. Then i had to remove the battery , do all the steps again (dalvik cache, cache, factory reset and all) and then if i try to install the same ROM again, then the setup wizard keeps on crashing (the downloaded file is not corrupted, believe me) . But, if i flash any other ROMs , like a CM7 or anything other than Wild-Child , and after that if i try to install wild-child, then the installation works perfectly. Could you please tell me why is this so? Is it because of my CWM recovery problem? Or do you think that even after wiping all data/ cache using CWM , some data still resides in the phone?

Also, while after installing djolivioer's marvelous ROMs, it installs at first. If i try rebooting the device after sometime, then i can see that the device is stuck at the boot logo animation. Does this have any relation to the above mentioned issues?

Djolivier man. Please don't misunderstand me for mentioning this error here. I am not spamming your ROMs or anything. I love your ROMs. I do..

Its just that i can't use those due to some problems that I don't have any idea about and am trying to get those fixed here :)

Thanks a lot in advance , though i can practically thank only once for one reply ;) :D
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
1. Rooted is when you have gained "privileged access" to your software. S-Off/S-On is the security flag, which I don't fully comprehend, but the two are distinct.

2.Depending on your date of purchase, you may have a 2012 WFS, which has incompatibilities with certain ROMs/Recoveries due to hardware changes.

3.When you wipe through CWM, everything is restored to "factory status". To continue with the pc parallel, it's more like a clean install.
[HTC Wildfire S] rishr4:
Thanks omnomnomkimiiee .

*By unlocking the boot loader we are achieving the permit to have privileged access, right? It is only when we install a ROM which contains a SU or super user app in it then we gain Root access/ privileged access ,Right?

*That 2012 hardware change applies to those who purchased after march or something. I have been able to install all ROMs for our WFS. This 2012 compatibility issue was never there for me :) Until recently i was able to run all ROMs and all. I have been seeing this behavior as mentioned above recently. Hence the confusion :(

* You said when we wipe through CWM, everything is restored to factory status. which means only the user added data and apps are removed, but the OS is still retained in there. Right? Then i guess that could be the reason why i got any error while installation of WC3. Since during the first installation of WC3, the files might have already been copied successfully to the phone, and afterwards when i try to do the same again, it may not copy the files again since those already exists in the phone. May be , when setup wizard crashes as mentioned above, it could be corrupting some file. This could be the reason why i get this issue whenever i try to flash the same ROM again and again.

Thanks Man :)
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
-Hmmm. By unlocking the bootloader, we get access to recovery, which allows us to flash SU and roms. I'm not sure what you mean by "achieving the permit to have privileged access" but it's probably right. Root is only gained once SU or a rooted rom in flashed, you are correct.

-Ahh, I can't help you with that.

-Yep, kernel, rom and Gapps remain. Like you said, the data you try to flash is already there, but maybe not in the same byte, therefore causing crashes. It would certainly explain why overwriting with another rom allows you to then install the one you want.
[HTC Wildfire S] rishr4:
Thanks a lot for bearing with my stupid questions man :)

Please do bear with one more .. :) Do you think that Flashing a ROM on a device with S-ON and S-OFF differ somehow? I mean , that security flag as you have mentioned, does that prevent the full functionality of the working of ROM? Since My Device is S-ON, while flashing the ROM, would it be able to freely take up the NAND storage? Could this be the reason for the issues i am facing as explained above?
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
I don't see why, seeing as how there are hundreds of people using it, you would be the one affected by this ^^

The security flags restricts access to certain low-level modifications, but nothing essential for a rom.

Also, keep in mind that almost all ROMs are supposed to work on S-On devices.

[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
first of all.most important thing is unlock to bootloader of phone.SU previliages it's just su binary and superuser app.

so after unlocking bootloader we need to flash custom recovery that's all we need.then we can flash any rom,kernel,mod etc etc.

about s-on and s-off.

if you wanted to change mtd partitions,dual boot,splash screen etc (advance stuff) you need s-off.

however changing roms and all possible with s-on.mostly all users are s-on.so it won't affect that your phone is s-on or s-off untill you dont want advanced stuff.

and answer of your question is no.nothing matters wheather your phone is s-on or s-off.you will be able to use fully functionality of your rom.

about storage rom only contains boot image and system..everything else like recovery,splash screen,radio etc will be remains same all the time.
[HTC Wildfire S] rishr4:
Thanks a lot for the explanation dude :) So, we can assume that the issues that i have faced as mentioned above is merely due to the CWM recovery. What is your opinion on that? :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
guess so..if you have wildfire s 2012 model regular cwm won't work for you..but it worked so you don't have wfs 2012 model.

just consider these steps so you will have no problem while installing roms:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

wipe battery stats

(DO TWICE)

go to mounts & storage

wipe data

wipe system

wipe boot

wipe sd-ext (if you have one)

wipe cache

and then install rom..

this will entirely clean your previous rom data,system,boot etc.

[Networking] john:
hello,

I was considering to buy a usb bluetooth dongle with a range of approx. 100 meters. But i first wanted to know if i will be able to surf the internet (whithin this range) through pc-connection on my xda 2?

like when it's in the cradle...

I could sync through bluetooth, right?

thanks for your help.
[Networking] sublimatica:
Yes you can do this, and also use the bluetooth headset at the same time.

At home here I have one PC (my web server) switched on all the time, and I've got the dongle in that. This means I can surf the internet or check my emails on my XDA2 over bluetooth through my DSL connection any time, without needing to boot up my workstation. However, when I'm at my desk working, I disconnect the bluetooth ActiveSync connection and connect the cradle in my workstation for ActiveSync and to charge the XDA2 and synch Outlook and files.

All works perfectly. :) Bluetooth range is very good throughout the house.

The XDA2 can maintain two ActiveSync bondings, so this sort of thing is possible. I don't synchronise anything with the web server - just synch with the workstation, so I have one version of the files and contacts synch'ed
[Networking] X_t_o_f:
I'm surprised...

Are you sure that XD2 can use a Bluetooth connexion over 10 meters ?
[Networking] sublimatica:
I didn't say I had a big house... :wink:
[Networking] X_t_o_f:
Is it a wall-less house :?: :lol:
[Networking] sublimatica:
lol No. Normal brick house.

I never get more than about 7 metres from the bluetooth dongle with my XDA, but within this distance it works perfectly, even through three walls and a floor.
[Networking] X_t_o_f:
Ok, I have a similar configuration in my flat (duplex).

sublimatica, can you say me your connexion speed in this configuration ?
[Networking] sublimatica:
I have a 'normal' ADSL connection: 512k down and 256k up.

Why do you ask?

(Are you asking about the speed of the bluetooth connection maybe? If so, I have absolutely no idea.)
[Networking] fresly:
Get a Class I Bluetooth Dongle and you can extend it more than 10 meters. I use mine inside and outsite the house.
[Networking] X_t_o_f:
Yes, but if the XDA II can't transmit over 10 meters,

I don't see the utility to have a Class I Bluetooth Dongle ! :roll:
[Networking] fresly:
Try the Class I and compare it to Class II because I cannot use my XDA2 outside the house on Class II while I got good conection on Class I. You can extend it more than 10 meters.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] killerb4dger:
Hiya all,

Got my HTC one few weeks back and think its freaking awesome. Love the phone, just one small problem.

Every now and then the two touch buttons (back and home) don't work, but not at the same time.

For example, im using facebook and look at an image. I try to go back but the button doesnt work so I have to use the home button. Usually it works again if u lock the phone the unlock it again.

Sometimes happens to the home button, like when you double touch the home button it shows recent applications. Again I have to lock and unlock it to get the touch buttons to work. Its not a really problem more of an annoyance, just hope it doesn't get worse. But still, I wouldn't expect this from a new phone.

I did email HTC support but they haven't got back to me, any thoughts guys?

I have rooted phones in the past and installed other ROMs, but I wanna keep the stock at least til the warranty is up on this phone. Also checked for updates, and found none.

So yeah, any thoughts :)

Thanks

Andy

Hi all.. Does anyone have any idea on how to clear the missed call notification counter on a rom that doesn't have stock dialer (I'm using mokee based rom that only has yolu dialer and contacts) which is one of the best stable English translated roms for legend btw.

Thanks
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
Maybe try going into the call log and selecting the entry that you had missed. This is the case for clearing notifications on the stock dialer, it may the same about your custom dialer.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Is that an ics based Rom? If so then that I'd a "feature" lololol there is/was an app on the market for that job, but I can't rememberbthe name, try searching the market, it is also on xda too somewhere.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorour80:
Unfortunately this is not the case. Choosing the missed caller and even calling him doesn't clear the missed call counter so for example if I have 2 missed calls and I choose to clear notification bar the next time I get one more missed call it tells me 3 missed calls instead of one and keeps on building up. Any solutions :(
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Do a search on playstore for modoohut, you'll find what you need.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorour80:
Just found it and installed it although as I mentioned I have the custom dialer that comes with this rom (yolu dialer ) not ex dialer so will test if it works ;)

Guys & Gals,

I finally recieved an XDA II Backpack fron Expansys on Friday. :D

I've had a few hours to tinker with it and so far I'm mildly happy. Works fine for Powerpoint presentations but the screen mirror is sloooooow. With

my previous PDA I used a Margi Presenter-to-go which I think had a higher resolution and uses a remote. However, the biggest difference is that the Margi was almost (though not quite) fast enough for video. The O2 backpack isn't, and uses IA Screen Mirror. When I set it to the right speed for video or animation with high VGA priority, the XDA virtually locks up - it slooooow riiiiiiiight dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnn...... :x

Anyone any advice?

wifi

Can you use a wifi CF card with this, and how much better is the battery on it?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] stevewooding:
Not tried a WiFi CF card - I have an SDIO one for the XDA2. However, I do have a CF card for my old PDA so I could give that a try.

The extended battery is 600mAh, so half the size of the standard one. Therefore I expect it to add about 50% to the normal battery life, though a little less if you're running a monitor or projector off the backpack on battery power. I've not tested the life properly yet.

It does add some bulk to the XDA2 as well - it's about the same depth as the XDA2, so almost doubles its depth, and it's fairly heavy too. You can still use the camera with it, but my Piel Frama case won't fit!

Steve
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
I too have the backpack and have posted comments in another thread in response to another members question about connecting the XDA II to a projector.

Yes you can use a WiFi CF card, I am using a Dell TrueNobile 1180 2.4GHz - IEEE 802.11b card which works fine. The CF slot and the ability to use a CF WiFi card was one of the reasons I bought the BackPack as I like to leave my 512mB SD memory card in the XDA II all the time. Only need WiFi every now and then (use GPRS) and the extra battery in the backpack is a good companion to WiFi usage.

I didn't find the screen mirror software thattt slloowww :D I used it to provide demonstrations of several software applications at a local user group meeting.

I was able to demo SpriteBackup, FingerClix, RingtoneX and TextMaker. None are video applications but all worked well. Sure I had to wait a few seconds every now and then for the projector to catchup to the XDA II but was still very easy and functional.
