[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LBN1:
Baseband T769UVMB1 is a radio, not the rom. Android 2.3.6 is Gingerbread, so no, it does not look like you are on ICS. Looks like you have Root. Do you have (if not you should get) Clockword Mod Recovery - once you have a recovery, you can do a complete Nandroid backup of your currently running rom; then you are free to try any of the custom roms and if there is a problem you can flash backwards to your old rom. So get a recovery and nandroid first, then flash away!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] ElGorditoMagnifico:
Thanks, I'll bone up more on this stuff & see what happens.

Update: I installed Odin 3.07 and did a flash with *SGH-T769_TMB_T769UVLH5_T769TMBLH5_Original.zip*, but it failed to root. Did a reflash, the updates, and I'm back in business again. It's late; I'm going to bed...I'll work on rooting this later...

CWM Recovery weirded out

Well, I tried the 4.0.4 root (as per Beastmode's guide)...and when I downloaded the ClockWorkMod Recovery file, it showed up in WinZip as recovery.img & tried to open in Paint Shop Pro. PSP did *not* like it, and told me so, refusing to open, 'cuz it wasn't an image file. Weird.

Do you know where to get freeware games for XDA1?.

I would like to know also if it's is possible to run old PC games in XDA
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
pc games no not that i know off

the arm cpu line is not x86 (pc) compatible

and i dont know of any emulator which can pull it off

many old pc games like doom and quake and such have been ported to pocketpc though

just search on google there are tons of sites which have tons of games where many are free

this is the search that i made to get quake

Hallo,

I can't copy files bigger than 1 mb from my notebook to the sd-card of my htc one s via USB.

I am using Viper 2.2.0 with bulletproof 1.3 kernel. Any ideas?

[HTC Rezound] xCOOLHWIPx:
I have a rooted Rezound running the OTA ICS. I also have Amon Ra recovery. The newest Firmware update keeps downloading. Once it does the phone shuts off and goes straight to Amon Ra which does not install new firmware. So I reboot the phone and the download process starts all over again. Is there any way to get this new firmware with having to factory reset? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
If you want the OTA to go you need to flash stock recovery.

- "Is it dark in there?"
[HTC Rezound] xCOOLHWIPx:
Thanks. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. Do you know of anyway of getting rid of the update? I would rather not have the update than flash back to stock. But my phone shutting off every few hours is pretty annoying. Thanks again.

same problem here

I cant seem to find the otacert on my htc resound. I have tried every way to update the new radios and nothing works. I have tried everything but a hard reset and relocking the bootloader. I would rather shut the stupid auto update off. My phone resets at 12:30 am and again at 4am. considering I need the alarm clock on my phone it renders it useless. Any help is appreciated. I am Rooted running stock OTA ICS with Amon Ra.
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
In confused why don't you just flash stock recovery and let the OTA go? Problem solved. Oh you'd have to relock also.
[HTC Rezound] xander5680:
I have relocked the bootloaderb and gone back to stock 605.12 now it won't download the ota updates. I'm a little stuck on this one
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
Are you going to settings> software update> check new?

From 605.12 you should get a small OTA first then the big one after that one is done. I just did same procedure in the last week on my wife's phone.

Btw might want to be on WiFi if you aren't already for the download.
[HTC Rezound] mattman37:
Having the same issue here as OP and been searching forums for days looking for help...

First, I'm on 605.13 already, stock ROM, rooted with Amon ra. I realize the steps I need to take but can't find any specifics.

Could someone please spell out the specifics of how to flash the stock recovery, and if I can use the 605.12 RUU to do this being on .13 already. I keep seeing others posting about just renaming a file to recovery.img and pushing using fastboot, but I'm not sure how to obtain the correct file.

Do you relock bootloader first or flash stock recovery first and the relock? BTW I'm s-on stil. Thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] xander5680:
I have tried your suggestions. It goes to download the small update and never downloads it. It says unable to download after about 3minutes.
[HTC Rezound] xander5680:
fixed

For some apparent reason the 605.13 update downloaded this afternoon and the 605.14 updated. Its all set after a frustrating 2 weeks of digital torture. thanks to all that helped. I had to scour all these resources and forums to get this done but this is what worked for me. I relocked the bootloader then I used the 605.12 RRU.exe program. After about a day I checked for the updates and they downloaded and installed successfully.
[HTC Rezound] mattman37:
Xander, since you just got this working, can you please confirm the process - I'm about to do this myself and want to verify the steps...

1) Reboot into hboot > fastboot and relock bootloader via fastboot oem lock

2) download 3.14.605.12 RUU.exe (I'm currently on 3.14.605.13)

3) Reboot phone into hboot > fastboot usb

4) run RUU.exe from PC

Is that it? Anything I'm missing here or am I on the right path?
[HTC Rezound] xander5680:
U have step 1 and step 2 correct. Step 3 would be to connect the phone to the computer and run the 605.12 ruu.exe tool. After that u are now back to a stock phone. After the initial setup of adding your gmail account and contacts you can now go into system settings and check for update. As I stated before my phone would not download the update for some odd reason. I tried it a couple more times without success. Today on a whim I went to check for the update again and it started to download. After the small 6mb file was complete the next update for 605.14 downloaded without anny issues. Make sure you delete any zip files off your external SD card labeled ph98img.zip if u tried that method.

Step1 relock boot loader

Step2 run 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe

Step3 check for updates

Step4 unlock phone if you want to

I hope this helps anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.
[HTC Rezound] mattman37:
Thanks.. Got it! And I got both the 13 and 14 updates almost immediately afterwards. I appreciate the confirmation about the process...
[HTC Rezound] digitalmofo:
Can anyone point me to where to find the 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe? I didn't want to spend all day flashing my phone, but ok, I guess I can to get rid of this annoying update.

[Nexus 4 General] reflux21:
Up at some thread (I dont remember which one!) I read personal observations on how reflashing to stock improved battery life.

There was also as usual a lot of people who felt it was pseudo.

Having personally done that I have seen my battery life increase by ~10% everytime I reflashed stock. Ofcourse it only worked two times, by the third there was no increment.

Recently, moving from xylon to stock I used the MAC TOOLKIT instead of the PC one.

I used to wonder how people showed 20+ hrs of battery life when my best was 15h:35m and voila, ever since I've flashed via a Mac the battery life has been simply phenomenal.

I've tried it on my wife's, dad's and sister's phone since with the same result.

I think it will help a lot of you out there who could use the extra battery life.

STEPS:

1. Go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049003 => to their official website

2. From the list download: "One-Click Unroot/Restore to 4.2.2 Stock Toolkit"

3. Put phone on fastboot (TURN PHONE OFF => THEN VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER)

4. Let it do its thing

In just under 3 recharge cycles battery life will be 20+ hrs when moderately used.

Dont need to do the above if you're already getting ~16h in heavy use, else try.

On Mountain Lion / N4 4.2.2 (Didnt know apple products were good for something)

[Nexus 4 General] coolnow:
Typical "wipe dalvik and cache 3 times, jump up twice and put your left hand on your arse and smack it really hard to improve performance". What do you think a reflash does? Magically improves battery life by 10% each time? How do you think that's possible? Oh look, i've reflashed the phone, now i have 10% better battery life, but let's not stop there, let me reflash the phone again without even setting it up again so i can get that other extra 10% too.
[Nexus 4 General] can6rxw:
If it does, let me know where you bought it. I want one! :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] supersain08:
Haha this thread is awesome. Thanks for the laughs :D
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
Dont forget to reflash via a Mac when the Mac's screen is on 27% brightness, and at 27% battery remaining, and when the Big Dipper is out in the sky facing, facing the northern hemisphere, and is at its brightest (I recommend an astral star brightness photocell tracker of some sort to confirm this. Don't worry, it'll be totally worth the money).

You want to do this process exactly 9 times, with the 9th time being accompanied by a silver USB cable that has been plated with internal gold cables. This ensures that the final 9th reflash procedure is thorough, clean, and expensive. The N4 USB port will be able to tell the difference between 1s and 0s stemming from regular copper wires vs golden wires. The 1s and 0s are brighter.

After completing the above, you want to let the phone boot up completely, and then you want to engage in a factory reset again. You must do this step 23 times. It's tedious, but it does a thorough bleaching and demagnetization of the NAND to ensure that the 82nd time and up, you'll get phenomenal battery life and insane I/O speeds that will blow even a 20-SSD RAID0 array out of the water.

After that, you must wait till the 3rd Friday of the month before you turn on and use your phone, for real. The NAND chip needs to be set just right given the electromagnetism, solar radiation, etc, to ensure that it starts with 0.000000% corrupted spots. Only then, will you get phenomenal 8+ hours of screen on time with up to 7000% battery improvement.

If you don't have a Mac, but you have a Windows or Linux machine, then you're out of luck. I recommend buying some praying incense, and spiritual money that you burn at funerals. I've been told that using those inconjunction with the steps outlined above will help alleviate the flashing errors that commonly accompany Windows/Linux users.

Trust me, this works some times, but every time.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
@op

battery life is completely dependent on how you use your device, and how you set it up. its possible to get 40-50 hours too, or more. my nexus 7 hit 14 days of use last week. with 42% left, without charging. the screen on time is what is important though. without that, how long your phone goes between charges is meaningless.
[Nexus 4 General] smokestack76:
I know i am old school. But i have always flashed stock before i have flashed a new ROM. And so far in all the years i have been flashing, my batt life has been decent or the same. Other than heavy usage days. This reminds me of the old days where you had to flash stock just to fully wipe the nand :rolleyes:

Hold on now.... I think I may have stumbled onto some here also. Building on the OPs method, I used Winblowz 8 surface and the toolkit to flash my newly RMA'd n4 to stock and gained an extra 16mins of SOT! :silly:

My theory is using a touchscreen PC to navigate the toolkit lines up the electrons of the n4 via USB/data cable when flashing stock ROMs ergo my flux-capacitor is indeed receiving the required 1.21 gigawatts of spiritual electricity via Steve Job's ghost to re-align the n4's battery protons. :eek::laugh:

Lol. Glad you enjoyed it. It took me about 2-3 minutes to whip that up.

But to go back to your original claim, your finding suggests that the drivers between the two operating systems are not behaving correctly, which I find it hard to believe. A malfunctioning driver should likely result in it not even flashing in the first place or it literally bricking your device if it sent the wrong information to the N4's NAND.

Your findings are likely a result of a "clean slate" effect as opposed to something inherent to OSX.
[Nexus 4 General] metal571:
Like others have said, if the device doesn't get the bit-for-bit exact same image as is on the disk, regardless of host OS you are using to reflash the device, it won't even function in the first place. Full placebo. I too though have noticed really good stock battery life, but I can't live without most of the custom ROM features.

Yeah I too heard that
[Nexus 4 General] reflux21:
No wonder Catwoman was desperately wanting the clean slate - she had nexus battery issues! :p

Im sure someone was trying the same thing down in good ol' texas near a fertilizer plant. It seems that rumor is a politically motivated and government driven conspiracy. Stick of dynamite and a working microwave apparently disrupt the space-time flux allowing you to wormhole anywhere in time without rippling space.

Or, it gets you under the CIA scanner faster than you can say Nexus 4.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LurkerLito:
After the latest official update from samsung, all seemed well. But today I tried to delete some files I copied over to a temp directory on my extSdCard a few weeks ago and I couldn't delete them using any file manager I have. I checked the permissions and all the files and directories on my sdcard have been changed to drwxrwxr-x or rwxrwxr-x. Is there anyway to change the permissions back to the way they were before the update? I can't even copy new files to the temp directory I made a couple of weeks ago. I know I had write permissions before since all the files in the temp directory I put there myself using the galaxy note 10.1. I don't want to root the device just to fix this so I am hoping there might be another way. This last update was the first time I didn't bother to eject the stupid SDCard before updating.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LurkerLito:
