Another Bugreport:

My Wife's Xperia S is running on PA 4.42. She plays Farmville 2 and later Hay Day.. after a long gamesession the phone isn't fast anymore.. in Trickster MOD App i see, the min and max frequenzy's are now set to 384MHz (Default on her phone is min 540MHz and max 1512MHz). She uses a Silicon Case... i think the phone is getting hot under the silicon case and termald reduces the cpu clock.. but thermald doesn't clock back later when the phone cools down again. It would be nice if you could check this [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] . Ich have no logcat of this behaviour..

Thanx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Will do. Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Another test version be very careful with this one, ALOT of kernel changes.... Really only flash if you know how to recover using fastboot.

DOWNLOAD
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Is it just me or downloading from AFH is a headache?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Not as much a headache as it is just plain annoying. Loading this, loading that, wait one second, grabbing mirrors, wait some more etc.

As far as I can see, this is the branch used and the changes made, for anyone interested: https://github.com/deedwar/evolve/commits/evolve-2.7

The "Branding" one is funny. xD
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Booted up fine. Hopefully it won't go on a FC spree later.

Sophos app, sadly,is still crashing with Xposed.

Will report other bugs later if I find any
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
After 3 hours of usage crashing has begun [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION]. Switching back to official build for now

Edit : The camera's acting funny. Some weird green lines all over. But it captures the image properly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tebra:
also on 20140714 test build from [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION]

I have also have pink/green lines on camera preview

Don't have FC spree at this time

Will report later
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Thanks for the feedback.

Will keep an eye out for something that might fix the issue but might stick with the old kernel for a while i think.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tebra:
Running your new build from more than 5 hours now and don't have any FC.

I dirty flash it over preview test build.

So your new kernel is very good. Just have the camera bug.

I enable "allow purging of assets" in memory management settings

I know there are two builds this week. I asked because he said our device was dropped. So I thought there won't be anything this week
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nxdu:
I hope we get at least the first stable L release before XS get dropped. :eek:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
I'm pretty sure we'll get Android L even if official support is dropped
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Don't worry dude.. Just keep on downloading every new build and our device won't be dropped if there are max number of downloads. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Everyone please download each update (ROM updates only) 20 times.

Thank you for keeping this project alive.

/s

Also somebody needs to first port L to our device. Only after may you expect an unstable port of L-based PA.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
you mean we should click the download button 20 times?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
Yeah. Just clicking the download button gets registered as a download. I always do it above 10 times and then cancel the download ;)

If everyone does it our device will always remain popular :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Can I do that same on hostingshared ? Because I hate goo.im
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
Yep. I was talking about the hostingsharedbox mirror. I never download from goo.im

[LG Optimus 3D] gepdiana:
Hello everybody, sorry for my english and for the curious/misleading object.

The problem is this: I've 2 optimus 3D (p920) one is perfect, the other (a friend of mine gave me) was flashed with an Acura Rom... and now, whatever I try, I can't change its contets!!!!

I boot, change settings, restart, and the phone is like brand new (with the Acura Rom).

I flash it, (smartflash/lg flash) everything goes fine... I restart... BRAND NEW AGAIN WITH ACURA.

I launch CWM, install a rom from internal SD, everything fine... restart... ACURA!!!!

I connect it, save something on the internal SD... everything ok, I disconnect and reconnect... NOTHING. The file disappear....

Any Idea??

What is really buggin me... is that the flashing applications, don't give any errors... they go along the whole process... say OK... but nothing changed... how is it possible??

I'm using a normal usb cable.. do I need the resistor one? (do I need to differentiate between p920/su760? how can I?)

Thank you very much!
[Moto X General] Pointy_End:
Well I called my provider tonight (Rogers in Canada) to ask some questions about hardware upgrade pricing; I was trying to decide between the Moto X and the LG G2. The geek in me was pushing hard for the G2, mostly due to the superior specs.

Coming from an iPhone 5 I have a real appreciation for a phone that just works without half baked gimmicky features (I'm looking at you Samsung). I also REALLY hate not getting OS updates, and it seems like Motorola is going to be good in this regard.

So the decision was made easier when they offered the Moto X to me for $0 due to a loyalty discount (it's normally $100 on a 2yr). How could I resist? Phone is in the mail :victory:
[Moto X General] MaKTaiL:
You will love it!
[Moto X General] gliz5714:
Exactly why I got a Moto X. $0 Moto X which has been praised by so many to be user friendly, ergonomic, fast, fun vs $150 for an LG G2 which is large, plasticy, odd button placement BUT has top of the line specs (but I have seen it lag a bit with the LG UI).

Tough choice...

Moto X for almost two weeks, loving it.

Lesson one, stick em with the pointy end. killin me OP!

[Moto X General] gliz5714:
but how does one do this? I have used it a bunch, and it is fun! Unfortunately I can't use in my car too well as Ford Sync doesn't play nice with it... =(
[Moto X General] Pointy_End:
Well I got my Moto X in the mail a few days ago and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Motorola really put some work into this phone, in fact I've quite impressed by the "it just works" level they've achieved. Very near an iPhone IMHO.

I love the active display, and touchless controls, but Motorola Assist is just outstanding. The first day I had it I was driving with the phone in my pocket. I got a call and was able to answer it without digging it out of my pocket (and I hadn't paired it to my car's bluetooth yet), and it worked so well that the caller didn't even know I was on speakerphone. You can imagine my surprise since before thenI had no idea the phone would do that.

Battery life is as good or better than my iPhone 5, and the camera is not as bad as I though it would be. I'd probably give it a 7/10, but I'm also running 4.2.2, so hopefully that will get better when Rogers releases the 4.4 OTA update.

The only annoyance I have with it so far is emailing pictures. If I snap a single picture (~2.3MB) and use the Gmail app to send it to someone it takes a long time. Between 10min and 15min to leave my outbox while connected to WiFi at home, with the send/receive arrows lit up the whole time. I really wish it would give you the option to send a smaller version of the picture when emailing (like my iPhone does), but even with a 2.3MB files it shouldn't take that long. Does anyone else have this issue?

Updated to 1.0.8 by accident

Unfortunately, I updated my slate 8 pro to 1.0.8 by accident and now have lost my root. Is there a way to revert back to 1.0.5 or is there a method of rooting 1.0.8 yet?

Thanks for the help!
[Android General] roustabout:
boomboom, I'm in the same boat right now.

The possibilities are:

- figure out how to get the nvidia shield / note 7 boot and root image to work on our devices

- come up with a new exploit allowing root (keep looking for Cydia updates)

- try to force the recovery boot and reload the '05 firmware via recovery.

I was not able to get that to work this weekend and am now looking into linux boot a la the gnurou disks.

The 1.00.05 files are up on the HP site still, as a zip file at

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6608624#N147

supposedly you can place that zip (be sure it's called update.zip) on an sdcard, power your device off, put the sdcard in, and power on while holding volume down.

In the menu that comes up, use the volume down button to highlight "recovery kernel" and click the power button to start recovery.

I was not able to get this technique to restore my device to '05 but hope others have better luck.

Part of my problem was not realizing that even though the recovery looks as if nothing is happening, if you leave it alone long enough, the device eventually restarts, implying that there may be a recovery process going on which is just impossible to monitor.

If that's true, the recovery is installing the update again regardless of what's on the card, though.
[Android General] x000x:
thats a lot of info. thanks for posting it
[Android General] kenneth2008:
Damn. Through sheer blind luck my 1.00.08 update failed when I tried it... Makes me wonder what was different between our tablets for mine to fail and yours to update?

UPDATE:

In case anyone else is stuck rooted on 1.00.05 like I have been... here's what I found with my limited experience/knowledge of this kinda stuff. So my 1.00.08 update failed because I removed some of the system apps - which meant that the 'assert' commands were failing in the 'updater-script'. Luckily, I kept a backup of all the ones I removed. Putting them back in the system and then re-flashing the 1.00.08 update zip via CWM recovery and rooting via the OP's method worked. Now on rooted 1.00.08.
[Android General] heino69:
Sorry, but i didn't get it...

i thought after updating a rooted 1.00.05 to 1.00.08 the root is lost?
[Android General] heino69:
Hi roustabout,

due to the fact that I'm not sure which part of your OP step by step guide relates to 1.05 and which to 1.08 I will wait for your update.

In the meantime I prepared my PC with and unlocked the bootloader.

Everything is installed and working, so I'm ready for your instructions ;)

Big Thanx for your work !!!
[Android General] roustabout:
You're ready - the OP is updated. The CWM method using Drgravy's CWM works to root both the '05 and '08 releases.

fastboot -i 0x03F0 boot recovery.img will boot you up into Clockwork and once you choose reboot it'll offer to root for you.
[Android General] heino69:
Works like a charm!

Thank you very much for your help :D

[Android General] roustabout:
very good disassembly guide

HP has a well-done document on how to take the Slate apart:

http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalciti...Country/disassembly_notebo_20139302303720.pdf

The illustrations are accurate. The process is very simple (to start, at least) - gently put a fingernail or pick between the glass bezel edge and the plastic at the top of the device, and work sideways until a few latches are released. Then pick one of the sides and continue gently freeing it, repeat on the other.

Now you can go back up and get the top corners of the shell off, there's enough slack.

Once that's done, the bottom can be slide off over the USB and HDMI connectors.

I did this mostly to get a look at the speakers, and found that removing the rubber strips which communicate with the outward edges of the speaker housings and then piercing the case bottom with a heated safety pin seems to give a bit more volume out.

I would recommend against piercing the speakers themselves; they actually seem to make some use of the air chambers behind the speaker membranes.

The main thing to be aware of is that in this release of Android and this configuration, few if any of the tools that are often used to try increasing volume will work - volume +, equalizers, etc. So far, most of them actually decrease volume when in use.

I'd love to hear it if anyone finds an EQ that can improve volume output.

I have xposed running now as well (now that I can remove it with CWR if needed) and it has a module that lets you wake the device with the volume rocker.

Seems to eat battery, though.
[Android General] hetzbh:
Slate 21 here - I wish this method would work here. Unfortunately, fastboot (any image you throw at it) simply reboots the slate 21.

Could someone please paste here the output of /proc/partitions please? lets see if they are the same, maybe CWM could be installed there..
[Android General] roustabout:
Sorry to hear that - I'd hoped that this image would help you as well.

I'm curious: when your device is in fastboot mode, what happens when you issue the commands

fastboot getvar all

or

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I'm wondering if your device is responding to the fastboot commands in full or if it's only getting a gimped set of them.

And I really wish we had access to your stock recovery image. I know there are folks who could do useful things with that.

When your device is in the stock recovery mode, it turns out you can issue a very limited set of commands usefully via ADB.

I was able to do an adb ls / and see the recovery file tree and then did an

adb pull /etc/recovery.fstab

adb shell bombs, but I was pretty interested to see I could do

adb ls /

adb ls /etc/

and so on, and then pull files once I knew what they were. I seem to remember the fellow who did the Shield root via Linux thought he could get that to work on the Slate if he had the recovery fstab - but I also think you've posted elsewhere that you don't ever get a post screen booting from that image.

My partition table's almost certainly not what you need, since I've so far only been able to get about 5 partitions going on it - boot, recovery, cache, system and data. The device is running OK but I'd really prefer to get it back to the stock layout. My memory is that there were around 12 partitions available before I hosed the gpt and sorta-kinda reestablished it.
[Android General] heino69:
don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have my Slate 1.0.8 unlocked and rooted, but just to know:

1.) Is it possible to unroot it again?

2.) Is it possible to lock the boot loader again (i.g. fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem lock)?

And last question:

From the past i know, that as soon as you install a CWM (i.g. with Rom Manager), the original OTA update feature from the manufacturer is broken - so this could be a good way to protect the Slate against a root lost because of updates, right?

THANX and br,
[Android General] roustabout:
Absolutely. You can unroot using SuperSU or manually just go in with an adb shell, remount /system rw and remove the su binary. If you're considering doing this before returning it for service, probably best to boot from Clockwork and actually format /system and /cache, then install the OS completely clean.

Absolutely. I don't know whether or not the device remembers it's been unlocked, though, nor whether a device return would be checked for that.

I am not sure that's true in this case. How sensitive OTAs are to device configuration varies from OEM to OEM.

My rooted '05 certainly downloaded and installed the '08 update.

There is a step in the recovery script that updates the recovery partition, and that step would fail if the partition had been overwritten with CWM. I think that's the last step in the update, or the second to last, though. The stuff at the head end of the OTAs (so far) is doing a set of checks only to be sure that it's applying to the right device.

To get the OTA to apply by CWM, I deleted the checks in the updater-script, which are these:

assert(!less_than_int(1381289516, getprop("ro.build.date.utc")));

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "fig" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "fig");

assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "kadota_w_a");

The next commands start the process of formatting. There may be pre-scripts that I didn't see that inspect recovery or update it first, I'm not sure what the order is, though.
[Android General] roustabout:
cwm flashable '09 update

If you've rooted and installed clockwork, vanilla ota updates fail.

It's very easy to make them flashable by removing the checks.

If you use the Xposed framework, some elements of the ota that target framework files may fail silently.

My system booted fine when I was done, though. I accepted cwm's offer to re-root and to disable stock recovery.

[Android General] heino69:
09 update

Hi roustabout,

my rooted 08 (still with original recovery partition, no CWM mod) downloaded the 09 update today, but not installed till now.

If i install this update, i think my root will be lost again, right?

If so, can i root it again with the same trick (booting the TF 701 recovery.img) and select re-root?

PS: In your OP you talking about:

-> It will also offer to disable the onboard recovery system from updating. You probably don't want to do so until

- you've backed up the recovery partition

- you've decided to install Clockwork permanently. <-

Is there a easy way to create a backup of the original recovery partition?

Currently i'm not sure if i should replace the recovery with CWM.

I only will do this, if there is a way back, and i think for a full factory restore, i will need this HP recovery partition, right?

Thanx a lot!
[Android General] roustabout:
Yes, you can. If you wanted to, you could copy my file to your device, do a

fastboot boot recovery.img with the 701 recovery, and then apply the update using CWM. As you rebooted, CWM would prompt to re-root your system.

At the same time, if you have an SD card in your system, you could make a backup with CWM's excellent backup menu. I think, but haven't tested, that CWM can both backup and restore the stock recovery - the latter would likely work best done in this sequence:

- fastboot boot CWM.img

- backup entire system or selected partitions to SD card

- reboot bootloader

- boot CWM.img

- test a restore of recovery- basically.

I was able to get a full restore after I'd flashed CWM. I'd hosed my system pretty thoroughly, so I flashed CWM to recovery, rebooted into it, and then did an adb sideload install of the HP system file (after editing out the file checks.)

It's been running well since I did so.

I was not able to get the HP recovery to restore my system at the point where I'd gotten it to, but then again to get my restore I needed to do a fair amount of work on repairing the partition table.
[Android General] heino69:
with booting the TF 701 recovery.img and installing your mod. zip File and fix the root again via CWM it updated without any problems!

As soon as I got my new microSD and will try to save the factory recovery and install CWM afterwards.

Thanx again for your great support!!!
