[HTC Wildfire S] cerbervs:
Hello,

So I've spent the last couple of days trying to root a T-mobile Wildfire S. The furthest I got is to get the bootloader unlocked (it's still S-ON). I've tried several utilities from xda forums as well as just the command line of this sort: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with a few different recoveries. I always get the following error (with the numbers varying, obviously):

sending 'recovery' (4744 KB)...

FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))

finished. total time: 0.014s

I've tried it with the SD card I used on the phone as well as with cleanly formatted one.

Am I missing some basic step somewhere?..

If it helps, this is what it shows me when I do the power+volumedown boot:

This is driving me crazy. Considering I had to reset the phone to unlock the bootloader, not being able to at least get the benefits of rooting it is really frustrating. Any help is appreciated!
[HTC Wildfire S] m24red:
Since the error you received was a data transfer error I'm thinking it might be one of two things. Maybe its just your usb cable and you might have better luck with another one or you don't have all the HTC drivers properly installed. Not sure if this is related, but I've read that 2012 versions of the phone give you more trouble when trying to root them.

Sorry my knowledge is limited since I'm a it new to this as well. If its any consolation, I spent almost a whole day figuring out how to root my WFS.
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
You have to go to htc dev to unlock your bootloader... I think you'll find answer if u look around the forum.... Cause most of us unlocked it...

Without unlocking/s-off u cant get recovery flashed... If u cant flash one recovery try different recoveries... one of them should succeed..
[HTC One S] mrpalin:
So I'm running my One S with Codename Lungo using the 3.0.80 Kernel.

Prior, I Was using the LiquidSmooth 2.4 with the Twisted Kernel, which I really liked.

Is flashing the Kernel as simple as taking the boot.img from the LiquidSmooth.zip and flashing it via fastboot after flashing Codename Lungo using TWRP?

I have HBoot 2.15.0000 and radio 1.13.50.05.31 if any of that matters...
[HTC One S] InfamousOne:
Yes it should be to my knowledge but I could only use one kernel because others didn't have a boot.img but that was while I was s-on

If you have s-off then in theory you don't need to flash boot.img via fastboot

Edit: obviously flash the kernel in recovery straight after the ROM not just the boot.img because you forgot to mention that in your post
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelpfulNems:
I really need help on this, I've been trying to get this to work for days. I took the OBB file and extracted it to Data/com.rockstar.gta3/files. So now I have the models folders and everything along with the gta3.set and the B files.I took the "oldveh_unc.dxt" file and opened it with the IMG Tool, I deleted the old files and replaced it with the modified ones. Once that was done, I hit rebuilt archive, after that I put the Oldveh_unc.dir and Oldveh_unc.dxt files into the models folder. When I opened GTA my phone downloaded another OBB file.

My problem is that no matter what mods I try to install, none of them work. I've tried installing a Lamborghini Police Car mod for example and the only thing that changed was the handling file, so now the I just have an extremely fast police car and the back bumper keeps dragging along the ground.

I've spent days trying to figure this out and I really need help. Please don't direct me to any Youtube video(because trust me, I've probably seen it.) or the XDA "GTA 3 Android Modding" post because I've already read it and it doesn't help. I think my problem is that I need to do something else to get the game to read the modified files or something but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'd very much appreciate your guy's help.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphee:
Hello,

Is there a way to extract/unpack system_signed from RSD lite flashable ROM ?

Thank you :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
The title says it all. I flashed an S3 mod from hereand everything works except 1080p video recording. If some one provides me with a flashable zip it would be very nice. There apparently is a link for the stock camera in the link but i tried it and the flashing fails. Help :(

Oh and also..I really did searched for a flashable zip but couldn't find one...!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you have a root capable file manager, you can just copy the camera app to the /system/app folder and set the permissions to the same as other apps around it. Then reboot.

You may have to reboot recovery and wipe dalvik cache if it doesn't take.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
?

What? I said I needed a flashable zip file...!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
So download a stock ROM and make one yourself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And I gave you an alternative in case nobody has one or you get tired of waiting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
I don't understand what your suggestion is. I first need the camera app file to do what you are suggesting. Can you please be a little more clear. Thank You. :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
I don't know how to do that. I only learned how to root my phone and flash ZIP files and ROMS recently! I don't know how to do what you are suggesting. That's why I came here for help. No disrespect. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Then I think an easier way for you would be to just reflash your ROM, it will replace the camera mod
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ill post a zip for when I jump back on my computer.

But just to explain if you wanted to know this is what you'd do. (You'll need a root file manager such as Root Explorer or Root Browser)

Unzip the mod and inside you will find the app.

Copy that app to /system/app.

Long press the app and select Permissions.

Change them do they match the rest of the apps in the same location

(Permissions should be rw-r--r-- (read/write, read, read)

Reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
Hmm...!

I did what you said bro...! I am still having the same problem.

When you tell me to unzip the mod...I find the app. But isn't that the app that I find the one that's modded?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oh, I thought you were trying to flash the stock unmodified one from the same post.

This is the link to it:

http://www.jobnik.org/files/apk/s3/restore_Camera_S3_cwm.zip

did you try that one already? And is that not the one you copied over using my instructions?

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

Ok, wait a sec. Thats odd how he did this. There is no camera app in that zip. Apparently the mod backed up the original and this restores it.

Look in /system/app again.

Look for

SamsungCamera.apk_JBK-ori

and

SamsungCamera.odex_JBK-ori

If they are present, delete SamsungCamera.apk and SamsungCamera.odex

Now rename those two I just said to look for. Just remove the "_JBK-ori".

Reboot.

If they are not there, its likely the initial mod flash did not work.

Itll take a few min to make, but Ill post a flashable one just in case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
Yea dude. I mentioned in the original post that I tried flashing the stock camera from link the but the flashing would fail. I knew there was something wrong with the file because it was like 141 KB. The camera zips and apk's are supposed to be around 3MB. So yea...! Then I thought you were saying to unzip the modded file to get the camera apk and blah blah blah. It was a misunderstanding. Anyways, now...so I flashed your ZIP file and well...I don't see the camera anywhere. In the /system/app I do see SamsungCamera.apk but I also see see SamsungCamera.odex

I am running this ROM just so you know...! Is the .odex file even supposed to be there when I am running a deodexed ROM?

Thanks again bro...!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It may not work if everything but that is deodexed.

Unzip that rom and grab the camera out of it.

Unzip my file and delete both camera files and copy yours in their place. Rezip and flash.

You may need to delete the .odex from your phone btw.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

Or as serio said, reflash your rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
Ok...So I did what you said. I unzipped the ROM...and grabbed the SamsungCamera.apk from /system/app. I then unzipped your ROM deleted both the files...copied the SamsungCamera.apk there...rezipped it under normal compressing levels and tried flashing it. It failed. :crying:

Whatever...I guess I can live with 720p video. Thanks a lot for your help anyways...! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you delete the .odex file on your phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mokee92:
Yes

[General Questions and Answers] mfelten86:
I dove into a pool the other night with my GS4 in my pocket, I didn't even realize it until the entire pool lit up with a flash - I guess thats the liquid sensors letting me know or something it was pretty cool though.

I got it out and put it in some rice right away and left it there overnight. I tried it in the morning and it still didn't work so I put it in a bag of rice, it's been in there until today, about a day and a half later, and when I turned it on it brought up the samsung screen with the dead-bolt lock. It stayed there for about 5 seconds and then turned off again.

I decided to take it a part and see if I could see any water damage. I had it taken a part and did see some chlorine residue, so I got a toothbrush and scrubbed all of that off. I scrubbed every connection/terminal.

When I put it back together the blue LED light on the top left came on, then slowly dimmed. It's still lit up, but I can't see it unless i cover it with my hand, and even in that shadow its still very dim.

I don't know if I should let it sit in some rice some more or not. That's my only idea, but I'd love to hear from you guys if you have any ideas/solutions.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Honestly, you've tried the rice trick which is the best bet as it's a natural dessicant. After that, and stripping it down, I think you might just have to accept that you made a really expensive mistake. The only thing maybe worth trying is to get a new battery - you might be really lucky and find that's all you've killed, but it is a seriously long-shot.
[General Questions and Answers] mfelten86:
Thanks, I'll definitely try the battery, I'll post here if that was the problem.

Just make a nandroid backup on boot partition. That'll backup your stock kernel. By that you could restore it back if you want. You can easily do that with TWRP recovery. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

[HTC EVO 3D] jornado:
Hello there!

I got a HTC Evo 3D some months ago. I unlocked it via htcdev.com, got root, deleted som Apps i dont like and everything was fine.

Today i wanted to revert it to factory settings, but something went wrong.

I used the CWM-Factory-Reset function, everthing was fine except the missing apps i deleted. So I decided to flash a standart Rom and downloaded RUU_Shooter_U_Vodafone_UK_1.21.161.1_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203613_signed because it`s the only Vodafone-Rom i found, but it didn`t work.

Maybe the next step was my big mistake:

C:\evo\krams>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img <-- from the vodafone uk-rom

sending 'boot' (3546 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.811s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 1.796s]

finished. total time: 2.623s

since then it`s stuck in the bootloop (htc-logo, black, htc-logo ...)

i was happy a when i found RUU_Shooter_U_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.21.166.1_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203615_signed a few moments ago but it also didn`t work

What I tried:

RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed

I don`t know why the Vodafone-Kernel didn`t work, but i don`t care anymore ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
the boot.img from vodafone UK rom was for gingerbread whereas you are probably trying to boot an ics rom so it wont work. yodas kernel is for ics which is why it booted. best thing to do is make a nandroid of your current rom and back it up on your pc. that way you can restore any part of your current rom(boot / system / data etc) when something goes wrong.

Hi Guys,

I have a pda2k from i-mate. bought from expansys USA. I have only loaded the official imate latest rom on it.

The unit of course is in english, it is unlocked and I have tested with different operator sims, works with them all.

I would love to try the new rom 1.40. I am not sure if i can downgrade once I upgrade to the 1.40. Any suggestions?

Do the developers of BA need any details from my unit, I would be happy to assist and post results, or post rom etc.

I would like to upgrade to RAdio rom 1.12 assuming I will still maintain an unlocked device and if my unit will get any more stable than it is already.

thanks for any suggestions/feedback.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Your device will remain unlocked, up or downgrade it as much as you feel happy with. Wiki is the best for info, roms ect.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] therock112:
I followed the wiki pages and ran the getdevice data, the following is what I got:

PH20B 0 B WWE E CDL__001 1.22.00 0 0 1.22.136 1.06.00 06.00

What does CDL stand for? any ideaa? Since I did not buy my unit from a cellular operator but instead from expansys USA, the unit was unlocked when I purchased it.

Can I upgrade to ver 1.40 and stilll maintain an unlocked state?

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Thats is your operator Id, what the CDL stands for I pass. YOu will need that value in the fix^.bat of the new 1.40 rom.

Sim Unlocked is sim unlocked, it will stay that way.

Make sure you use the type I rom if you go for the 1.40, read the threads on it (there are 4) not everybody is happy with that rom.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] therock112:
Is there any major benefits of upgrading to the Radio rom ver 1.12?

Can I upgrade to 1.12 without upgrading the system rom to 1.40? will there be any side effects?

thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
You need to read the thread on the radio 1.12 some like it others not.

Only NBf found in the upgrade dir will be installed. However you will do a hardreset after upgrade thus you will need to install all your other apps as well as sync your contacts ect.

Side effects, sure it could go bad and you end up with a brick, happens to the best of us.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HappyGoat:
1. Read the thread on that...

2. Read wiki
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] therock112:
I have read the wiki couple of times, somehow missed the radio rom upgrade section.

I guess I am sticking with what I got for radio rom. Not sure if its worthwile upgrading to 1.40 either for system rom......
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cease:
benefits

therock112, as a user of the 1.4 ROM and 1.12 radio on my imate PDA2K, on Cingular, I have to say the radio is much better than the stock radio, better connections, faster, more bars, etc. Also interfaces with the wifi banner bars better, info presented in the banner is more accurate and informative. I also like the 1.40 ROM, things are quicker and the battery life is now better than with the stock ROM.

However, the device no longer shows up on the Google Play website under "My Devices" even though I can connect to Google play on my phone and download my previously purchased apps.

Hey there, I just got an S4 Active hooked up with T-Mobile's $30 plan. There's really sparse information on the S4 Active, and even less for people who are using T-Mobile on the S4 Active.

My problem is I'm only getting EDGE. I've searched the forums and found a couple of people who say they plugged in their SIM and it worked flawlessly. Is there anything I need to do? Open up AWS? I've tried using default APN, calling T-Mobile and having them give me the information, and using APNs I've found online, but I still get EDGE.

It'd would be a shame to have such a nice phone and only be able to use EDGE.

here's how you get 4g LTE to work.

follow everything else by the book.
