RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253

Need it because the regular way to update and unroot is not working for me, and need to just flash from the recovery menu. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried 7zip and winrar
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CYBERxNUKE:
try this.

goto your temp folder.

ex. win 7: C:\Users\CYBERxNUKE\AppData\Local\Temp

and make sure all your programs are closed and delete all your temp files.

Run the RUU program, and once its up and running on your screen, go back to your temp folder....

C:\Users\CYBERxNUKE\AppData\Local\Temp

look for a new folder created there.

without closing the RUU, copy the entire folder over to a safe place and exit the RUU.

you should have what you need.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karunadheera:
Hi Guys,

Please help me.

I could never download apps after 5 to 10 downloads. Doing factory reset was the only help.

So I replaced all my /system/app folder with nz apps using

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704817.

Now my launcher does not start. When I boot Galaxy S logo comes after that nothing. When I touch touch sensitive buttons they light up. Nothing comes on the screen. Just dark black.

However I can reboot to Android System recovery mode holding Home + Vol Up + Power.

I'm now trying to create a new update zip with my old apps directory.

However I don't know how to mount sdcard in recovery mode.

$ mount -w -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0 /sdcard

mount: Operation not permitted

$ mount -w -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0 /sdcard

mount: Operation not permitted

$​

Could anyone please help?

The only way you can update the system is through ODIN. It's not like HTC where you can use a zip file. Just get the stock rom use odin to put it on your phone and you will just need to start from scratch.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
I figured, I would get the best response here... If you ROOT an Android phone, will downloading OTA updates through your phone brick it? I read an article about the new OTA for the EVO and it will brick rooted devices.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Misinformation. It would brick it if you applied it twice in sequence, not if you were rooted. You need the stock recovery to apply updates anyway, if you do get one it will not harm the phone because it can't be applied.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickwir:
In the thread when the final OTA was coming out, lots of people that were rooted, said they installed it, it worked fine, but they lost root. So then they have to obtain root again.

So, I'd assume it would work fine if everything else was stock... you just might loose root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
So your saying, that if I were to install an OTA update through a rooted Android device running stock firmware, it would go through successfully without bricking it. But, if I ran the update a second time it would brick it. Correct?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efishta:
If you're on a rooted stock rom, assuming you haven't flashed a custom recovery, the phone's recovery utility will not allow you to flash an OTA update because of a signature mismatch. I'm not sure what happened with the evo, but I don't believe it can happen with the nexus.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Okay, thanks? But I would still like some more input on this situation.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blas4me:
Pay attention

If your not rooted you can still flash OTA update leaks, there are plenty out there. If you want custom roms then you have to root. The stock recovery only flashes stock updates, not rooted updates. If your not getting it by reading the forums, then I suggest you stay on stock, and wait for OTA update.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
No, this only happens with this specific update with the EVO.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Alright, great! Thanks guys. So since I believe the nexus one already got the offical OTA, did any of you lose ROOT access?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You WILL loose root when you update from an OTA update.

I had a rooted FRF50 and went to the FRF83 update and lost root/custom recovery, everything else was fine though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joefosho315:
I ask that you all forgiveth the newb nature of my question in advance, but if my phone has been rooted, and is currently running FRF50, is there anything I can do to the phone to have it automatically update using OTA? I ask because I received the notice for the OTA update the other day, but being rooted, got a signature mismatch error. (The only reason my phone is rooted is bc I bought it used that way-I wish I could've had it bone stock instead!) I know I can somehow do a manual update, but I'm trying to figure out for further future OTA updates if there's a way that I can have my phone simply automatically apply them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Well, first off, thanks for hijacking.... AND, I have been doing a bunch of research. You should find the official build of froyo (FRF85B correct?) and manually update it. Just use it unrooted and it'll be easier when an OTA update comes along :D

Ok, so basically, whenever I go to respond or type a text message (HTC Messenger 1.8 by ThGraf), it lags a little bit while opening the keyboard.

Or worse yet, sometimes I'll start typing, and the keyboard will close, so I try to reopen, and it pops open, and closes again, and then I don't touch anything and finally it re-opens... How to fix this?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostrida:
So I had been reading around and got to thinking about what people were saying about the time it takes the phone to access the card is that "window" for using @unrevoked adb race root method.

So what I did was format my SD card in OS X as HFS+ Journaled so the phone would not be able to read this format and used the loop method after rebooting in bootloader, and it worked first time, no timing trick or anything just looping. Then i swapped out the SD card with a FAT32 @ the triangle screen and continued.

This was the same card I had tried endless amounts of times using many of the timing methods and loop methods.

I am asking if someone can verify this for me as a proven method. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FierceDeityLink1:
Just tried it. I still get "device not found". This is with the 2GB card that came with the phone, HFS+ Journaled, MBR.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMpTy3000:
Whoooohooo!!!! I FINALLY got it to work. But instead on one sd card I formated it with NTFS 64 kilobyte allocation units. Just popped it in the phone and started the process. I got adb on the first try and then I swapped sd cards and continued on. THANKS!!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortymouse:
So did you put the sd card in, go to recovery and you saw it in the adb? No pulling cards, or anything? Then after seeing the adb in devices, you swapped to your normal card and continued on? Just want to be clear.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMpTy3000:
That is exactly what I did using Windows 7 x64.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortymouse:
OK thanks. I am on Windows 7 64bit as well, so I am going to try. So far, no luck but still working. Thanks for the reply.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMpTy3000:
I did do one more thing, but I didn't know if it had any effect. I started copying a large file to the sd card and then removed the sd card during the copy as to try to corrupt the file or the card. Like I said, I don't think it actually helped, I just did that before I even tried with the NTFS formatted card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortymouse:
Still cant get it. I have the 2 gig card formated to NTFS 64kilo, I put it in the phone and go to HBOOT, then to RECOVERY, but I cant get it to find abd in recovery. Nothing. Dang it. I have tried almost every other way.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMpTy3000:
That's too bad. The one that I formated to NTFS was a 1 GB Kingston that I was trying forever to get root with last night with no success. But for some reason it worked the first try when formatted to NTFS.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostrida:
This is good news that it is working for people with NTFS also, I didn't have access to a Windows machine so HFS+ did the trick. It was the same method as a had done over and over but as soon as i formatted it worked first try. i have to believe that NTFS and HFS+ will produce more reliable means of getting adb without resorting to clicking in SD's and pulling out USB's etc.

Help with OS-x

Could someone give me some help with rooting. I have a good understanding. My question is, do I just need to format my sd card to a mac format and follow the unrevoked root process. If anyone here could give me a step by step for mac it would be greatly appreciated. :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostrida:
What I did on my Mac is in the OP, but to be clear.

1) Took an SD card that wasn't my main phone card and formatted it in Disk Utility as Mac OS Ext Journaled

2) Rebooted into Recovery $ adb reboot recovery

3) popped out the normal card for the Mac formatted

4) Started the loop as described by Unrevoked in Terminal $ while true; do adb shell; done

5) go through bootloader and select recovery

6) almost immediately after you get the triangle screen you will see the Terminal output change to $ exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

7) hit ctrl+c in terminal to stop the loop

8) swap back for the normal phone card

9) hit volume+ and power and follow the rest of Unrevoked tutorial
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socalracer:
this didnt work for me i tried this weekend ago. what did work for me as formatting the card as a ubuntu usb live disk and then using adb from a actual usb flash drive and using the tail, method. i have not tested it on not rooted inc's but it worked on my mine 2 times in a row. hopefully i can test on my friends incs and post offcial results soon

Curious as to what everyone thinks
[EVO 4G General] timkdodson:
I am thinking of switching to the EPIC and giving my wife the evo ... The Epic seems awesome... Need to see how out turns out though
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
i think its too early to tell, i mean the evo has been rooted already and will continue to be supported in a pretty big way by the devs here, theres no telling if the samsung will have the same level of rootability.
[EVO 4G General] jayv1717:
True..it's just that screen and the processing power with the gyroscope of the epic is very tempting..
[EVO 4G General] Harfainx:
Give up an 8MP camera for a QWERTY keyboard... Nah, not worth it.

Gonna go ahead and keep my EVO for a while.
[EVO 4G General] Grims:
Yeah because our 8mp camera is just soo amazing...

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Heh the evo's camera sucks.

Anyway, I'll hold into my evo until it launches sometime in the future and I'll probably pick it up. Looks to soundly beat the evo and the droid x. At least its already rooted the only issue will be samsungs encoded drivers.
[EVO 4G General] Harfainx:
Better than the 5MP I upgraded from when I switched from my Hero... Oh wait, that's the same camera on the Epic.
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
The EPIC is EVO Jr. EVO is the best phone on the market, even better than the iPhone 4.
[EVO 4G General] jayv1717:
Comparing the hero's 5mp camera to the epics is just not a fair fight
[EVO 4G General] jayv1717:
Care to clarify as to why or how the evo is better??
[EVO 4G General] magicalan:
I dont like how the samsung epic looks ..so no nor i like the iphone look they gave
[EVO 4G General] a_swellguy:
The evo is better because its in my hands! :)
[EVO 4G General] Harfainx:
I must agree
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
I don't know, spec-wise the epic is pretty compelling.

The 5MP camera will look better than the evos because the lower mp sensor will undoubtedly have less grain and better low-light pictures.

The qwerty is welcome, im not sure about the size but it's good news to me that it wont be as large as the evo in wideness.

I love the 4.3" screen on my evo, but 4" sounds like a great tradeoff.

It will surely fit better in the hand, which is very welcome for me.

The hummingbird IS a better processor.. GPU is great. End of story.

Super AMOLED is the best screen technology in the mobile biz. End of story.

The samsung is a better phone.

That said i will probably keep my evo because it looks so much better. LOL

If the framerate issues are fixed and froyo comes along quickly there isn't much of a reason to return the evo.

Either way i'm happy, but my 30-day window is ending soon and there isn't much news about when the Epic will arrive.
[EVO 4G General] jayv1717:
very good points..the only thing bothering me is as you said there is no release date, but i think i might take my chances and wait
[EVO 4G General] JTravisRolko:
The Galaxy S model will be released on every carrier, so the Epic will have plenty of support, if not more than the EVO. The specs are undoubtedly better than the EVO's in almost every way. The 45nm processor especially stands out since will mean better battery life.

I need to buy the EVO as soon as it comes back in stock, so I hope the Epic is released within my 30-day window in case I want to exchange.

EDIT: I just saw a video ( youtube (dot) com/watch?v=x31Tl4_F1Wo ) of Touchwiz and it looks TERRIBLE, even though the iPhone-like icons aren't bad. Unless TW can be easily disabled, I'm going with the EVO.

[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
i would never return an htc phone for a samsung.. im an htc guy!
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
The Epic has:

Pluses

-much better, more power efficient cpu/gpu

-much better, more power efficient screen

-much better battery life as a result

-hardware keyboard

-slightly thicker than evo

-15g LIGHTER than evo

-comes with 16gb card

-DLNA interface

-hardware shutter button

-gryroscope

-better codec support

-Touchwiz interface

Minuses

-lower resolution front camera

-lower resolution rear camera

-Lacks HDMI port

-Lacks kickstand

-possibly not as hackable as Evo

-possibly not as large of a dev community as HTC devices

-Touchwiz interface

Unknown price and unknown release date.

Those pluses look quite good. Note: I've never owned a Samsung phone.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
DING DING DING!!!

Looks like we have a winner! ;)
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
The minuses are marginal and seem somewhat exploited:

Minuses

-lower resolution front camera

(You really wouldn't be able to tell the difference, in fact it might eeven look better on the Epic if they used a better camera sensor which isn't exactly impossible considering the Evo's sensor sucks.)

-lower resolution rear camera

(this can lead to better pictures, it's about the sensor not the mpixels. In fact more mpixels can hurt more than it does any good!)

-Lacks HDMI port

(I could care less, not like I carry an HDTV in my pocket, it's a phone not a media center. Also the Galaxy has support for wireless DLNA which my current TV is also a Samsung so it puts the HDMI port to shame as I get the same results for free without having to buy an extra accessory.)

-Lacks kickstand

(seriously? who cares get an iplunge if it makes you feel better. It's a piece of alumium sticking out the back of your phone you can achieve the same results with a pack of cigarettes behind the phone.)

-possibly not as hackable as Evo

(SDX-Developers, Google it)

-possibly not as large of a dev community as HTC devices

(Same as above)

-Touchwiz interface

(Removable same as Sense, you could flash a stock Android ROM right over it)

TWO HUGE PLUSES -- SUPER AMOLED Display best in the business hands down, and a Hummingbird processor. I'm SERIOUSLY considering returning my Evo. Also 4.3" vs 4.0" you really can't tell the different and it feels better in the hand since it's a bit narrower while keeping close to nearly the same width and having an optional pull out keyboard if I ever need it. Seems like a no brainer to me.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
Beauty AND Brains I love it Sebrina :D
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
not a compelling reason to switch as i have already made that same comparison with the galaxy S for at&t (in switching back that is) and decided to keep the evo.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
No since I have bills to pay
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
-Lacks HDMI port

It has video out, not sure of the resolution though

-Touchwiz interface

Less of a complete theme than Sense IMO, which has been getting stale

-Lacks kickstand

Um, yeah..

The 5MP sensor is better than the Evo's 8MP and so is it's 720P recording. Just because the megapixel count is the same as the Hero's, doesn't mean it's the same sensor.. have you seen the shots from the Galaxy S? Not even close to being in the same arena. They're not all created equal just because the MP count is.

The only problem I forsee is, there is no set date for a launch. The only Galaxy S series phone slated for launch in the coming weeks is the T-Mobile version. The rest all appear to be 2 months out, according to the press releases.
[EVO 4G General] k2snowboards88:
If you think touch wiz 3.0 is less complete than sense, you should watch samsungs YouTube video showing it off. It adds tons of usefull functionality. It really makes sense look incomplete by comparison.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
It's a damn shame that T-mobile crippled their version of the Galaxy by telling Samsung an LED flash wasn't to be included like all the other versions on other carriers. What a bunch of idiots :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
All of the other versions.. like the Sprint version, which appears to be a totally different phone.. or the fatter Verizon version with less built-in memory? The AT&T and T-Mobile versions lack flash. The T-Mobile version is the closest to the international one.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
The Evo is only better in terms of form factor and bigger screen. HTC really dropped the ball by using LCD instead of Super AMOLED. The ~2 mm decrease in thickness would have really helped the Evo. Samsung Epic 4G is only 1.5 mm thicker with a new keyboard.

I'm afraid my 30 days will be up before the Epic 4G is released.
[EVO 4G General] Zardos66:
Epic 4g has a keyboard, it wins automatically.

I already took my Evo 4g back anyway. can't wait!
[EVO 4G General] Supermighty:
Samsung is the *only* producer of Super AMOLED screens. I'm sure they are hording them for their own phones.

I really like the look of the Galaxy S on paper. I love the EVO for it's screen size though. Either or could be better or worse at this point, we don't know because the Epic hasn't been released.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I started a new line on an existing plan, if I return within the 30 days will I get my 2-year contract Upgrade Elegibility back, or will I have to start a new line again?
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
From all the papers I'm reading the humming bird processor is about the same in processing power just uses less battery and the gpu is the part that's actually more powerful. It's going to be a difference of 150

mw or so on the power side. The gpu in the Snapdragon is no slouch though. It can run 22 million triangles per second which before the a4 or humming bird was top of the mobile hill. Android won't fully use hardware acceleration until 3.0 anyway.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Yeah both processors are based off of cortex a8, at 1GHz achieving around 2000DMIPS, you're only using less power on the hummingbird, no big deal.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Actually now that I remember the Snapdragon does 2.1dmips per mhz while the humming bird is 2.0 per mhz. So the Snapdragon is rated at 2100 vs 2000.
