Some questions...

I have some questions:

1. Does the S-OFF, besides unlocking all partition and disabling all security, allow me to root and remove stuff from /system/app for example without a custom kernel??

2. About the S-OFF bug: can anybody offer more details about it: from what I read besides the vibration bug, it also causes hot/soft reboot to be unusable and in some cases causes phone to crash / freeze suddenly??

3. If i S-OFF, downgrade hboot and use RUU, I understand that hboot, radio and firmware will be downgraded to ICS ones (which is kinda my wish) will the RUU automatically S-On the phone and display the message **LOCKED** instead of RELOCKED on bootloader???

4. My CID is HTC_032: can I benefit from all S-OFF advantages witrhout using SuperCID?? (I do not intend to use firmware from other region)

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for future answers :D
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
1. No ... you still need a custom kernel with write protection disabled.

2. Never have any sudden crash/freeze. That is more a kernel problem.

3. No .. your device still S-Off and RELOCKED

4. Yes .. but there is so little benefits with S-Off. Currently you can flash a flashable boot.img and flashable recovery.img and downgrade to ICS or upgrade to JB ... that's all.

And for future Q&A, you can ask them here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016555

There are a few members with a good experience and knowledge on S-Off will help you with your questions.

And let this thread for Development only.

No-S-Off

says,

"smells lovely in here"

"bottles are packed, here we go, shhhhh"

"pouring (1) .............."

"pouring (2) .............."

eight pours....

then:

something like, "wait 30 seconds power up your device, pray, then try again"

no S-Off...

any ideas?:confused:

[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
You need to make sure that adb works fine after the reboot. For that, remove your lock screen completely and disable SIM PIN, just to be sure. Also make sure that USB debugging is enabled while it is pouring.

New S-off method

Just wanted to Inform you. There is an app ( Custom HTC Pro) which has a method to S-OFF our HTC Desire X. But the instructions are in Russian language... If you can find out whether its the same technique as yours ?
[HTC Desire X] nightwalkerkg:
Please don't quote the first post.

Yes,the app is using Rummruner for DX S-OFF, and you still need a PC to do it.

The app consists of instructions and some small tweaks.

I am happy that my girlfriend is fully rooted since Rumrunner added support for the Desire X and I am wondering now if the vibration alert which has been declared as irreversible (see quoted message below) can be nuked through re-locking the Deisre X (or would that be a very bad idea?) and rooting it again through Towelroot?

Yeah, maybe I'm just foolish and trying to think of a way around it. Not that the vibrations keep nagging me, but it would be nice to erase them. After all, it's not my phone, right? ;)

How severe are those vibrations? I mean, is it 7 long vibrations that delay the boot for 15 seconds or just 7 short vibes running while booting?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benoob:
Like many other S3 users, I have unstable charging current due to faulty cables/chargers/phone etc. and the phone charges at less than max ability most of the time. Many custom kernels have the ability to "ignore unstable charging current". When this option is checked, the phone charges at max capacity and is great. My question is:

Is it safe to us the "Ignore unstable charging current"? Can it damage the phone itself at all? Will it damage the battery?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
During charging there's ongoing negotation of power between phone and the source of power. After some seconds (of being plugged in), the final power is being set after such negotations.

This is required to be sure that both devices and also the cable are able to handle voltage properly. Ignoring unstable current basicly does what is says - it turns off negotiations and uses maximum power defined in both devices and cable itself, even if it's not stable.

In worst scenario, this can lead to the damage of a device, source of power or the cable. Usually it's safe to assume that everything is able to operate on defined max power, however as you know sammy cables are "faulty", and they negotiate lower voltage for a specific reason.

In short: In most common situations it should be safe to assume that everything is able to handle defined max power, HOWEVER nobody can assure you that you won't run into problems, negotiation exists for a very good reason to don't cause damage of any device, this is something like a "barrier", which isolates unstable things from stable ones and makes sure that nobody gets hurt. Turning it off may, or may not, cause problems, depending on various scenarios.

Hi

I have an Acer Liquid Z120

It was running fine until it stuck to the logo screen and it is like that since then.

I was googleing and i tried to wipe/factory reset, but i still have the logo screen and it doesn't pass it, like in the videos.

I've downloaded the acer z120 single sim official OS from the acer website, and applied update from sd card in recovery mode, it runs untill 50% and after that it says "installation aborted".

But as soon as I put a CDMA sim card...It displays "Invalid Sim"

Can someone please suggest something to make it work for CDMA too. I changed the network settings from GSM to CDMA but that didn't help too.

Any suggestions are welcome!

[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
I rolled back to 4.4 tmo except I did NOT flash gpt.bin or motoboot.img. This means I can't take an OTA...

BUT I signed up for feedback or whatever on the moto forums and as soon as I cleared data, my phone is showing a software update. I don't know if this is 4.4.2. How can I tell? I'm also rooted. Someone help me out so that I can capture this. Maybe just something minor but I'm successfully on 4.4.

Edit: Don't know what the update was but it wasn't the 4.4.2. I should have gotten a soak test email which I have not received. Thankfully it didn't seem to do anything and I didn't brick it. I'm trying to capture it so that I can manually install the partitions I need. I can't do it through OTA because of my 4.4.2 bootloader.

I got invite long time ago, I am rooted though so might not get OTA
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Why wouldn't you? That shouldn't affect you getting pushed the update. Plus, being rooted, you just need to download it and use root explorer or es file manager to open the cache folder and copy the update zip! That way anything custom could also be flashed separately. My prob is that I used the UK build so my boot loader is already 4.4.2... I need the zip so I can manually flash the other parts.

Side note, now my phone doesn't have an IMEI after update. I reflashed the OTA, and I'm not a noob. Don't understand though how flashing my own phone's firmware would cause me to lose my IMEI and network.

I'm confused, if we're rooted on a non-bootloader unlocked phone, how do we go about updating to 4.4.2 (when it's released) without losing root?

If you take the ota you need to have the stock recovery and a unrooted system, you also need to remove any mods or you'll end up in a bootloop, so you need to reflash recovery and root again, there is no short cut with ota's

[Moto X General] mmikeee:
so I've been reading up on how to root my locked bootloader phone the past hour and I'm still a little confused. Coming from a S3 where I was a flashaholic and everything was simpler haha.

So if I have a locked bootloader and I'm currently on 4.4, I need to go back to the 4.2.2 post cam, disable write protection, return back to 4.2.2, then slap the **** out of my phone back to 4.4 and viola I have root.

What's the procedure for going to 4.4.2 after I have accomplished rooting 4.4? And everyone is bricking because they took the 4.4.2 ota and tried to go back right? There are also talks about going to 4.4.2, just not flashing the new bootloader that came with 4.4.2, which will allow you to downgrade if you want right? Is that possible with a locked bootloader?

Thanks!
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
OK I tell you about the boot loader , I have no idea why anyone would use slapmymoto if you can unlock your boot loader, all T-Mobile phones can be boot loader unlocked, please use that method to flash recovery and root.

As for the boot loader on the new 4.4.2 ota, you flash the booloader 30.B4 you can not downgrade to any earlier boot loader , so its safer to just flash the system.img, boot.img, and the modem only, if you are running the 4.4 firmware. If you are running the 4.2.2 firmware you need to upgrade your boot loader to the 4.4 firmware otherwise settings will fc and you will have security issues uninstalling apps, hope that helps , I have a thread in the general section stickies regarding the boot loader

Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X
[Moto X General] mmikeee:
Thanks for clarifying! Makes things a lot clearer. So basically once I get 4.4 root, I can just fastboot flash the system, boot, and modem for 4.4.2. And I can fastboot flash with a locked bootloader right?
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Having a locked boot loader no , slapmymoto only works up to 4.4, there is no root method for 4.4.2 with a locked boot loader, so you're stuck on 4.4 . if you can unlock your boot loader or if you want to, you can root. It is a whole different story with moto compared to Sammy.

[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
I seem to get a bit more signal on this phone than my nexus 5. Don't know how good a comparison is but moto has a great rep for strong functional engineering like strong signal etc. I get signal in places my nexus 5 drops. I feel the nexus 5 has better reception than the nexus four I had before that.

Also, I think you will be better off with this patch than the GB one. This doesn't have the wierd font in quick tiles that messes the theming of gravity box and it includes those new radios. Just backup, flash everything from the Dev edition or tmo 4.4 ROM except gpt.bin and motoboot partitions after putting the ota file on your sdcard. Once flashed back to 4.4, apply this in stock recovery and you can reflash twrp. No carrier logo on the left side and everything in gravity box works with this build, including status bar slide for brightness.
