[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
If you use a forever root on your phone, does that mean that even you can't unroot it? What if your phone needs repair at a Sprint store? Can you unroot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
There would be no way for them to know unless they tried to do something that required root access. Also, RUU's can alter forever root, but not OTA updates since they don't touch the radio, but RUU's can. Technically, you could RUU back and lockup the bootloader I believe, but I don't know. Technically, with the N1, you don't void warranty by unlocking the bootloader alone, you have to do something dumb, like flash a radio for a mytouch3g or something to void it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2g1:
Hey I'm on the latest cyanogen nightly and liked the customizability of enom's spare parts, I know most options are included in cyanogen but am looking for a few specific ones for example download and use the HTC 720 camera instead of the stockish looking one from the nightlies.

So is there a way to extract the spare parts of enom and install and make it usuable on the nightlies? or does someone have one they could link?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclipto:
Oki let me tell you what happened.

I was on the pc surfing the web (my HD2 was plugged into the PC to charge), when all of a sudden we had a power surge at the house, the power wasn't cut, all the lights sort of flickered and my pc got restarted but thats bout it. The next day I came to plug my phone in to sync with the PC and it wouldn't bring up the screen that lets you choose the method of data connection. The phone charges but neither it nor the PC recognize that there is a connection between them.

I have tried, hard resets, soft resets, factory resets and giving the phone dirty looks. Nothing worked.

So deat XDA developers .. any ideas? do you think it's hardware or software related?

Also do you think formatting the roms and flashing an HTC rom would work? also how do i go around doing that without the USB cable connection because I've read that you need have it plugged in for the HSPL or smthing like that.

Please help me.. this is by far the BEST phone I've ever had and I don't want to lose it :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclipto:
also wanted to add another piece of info i just discovered, Before when you would hold down the "volume down" button and do a reset the tri color screen would come up saying "serial" and when you plugged in a usb it would change to "usb" ... now when there isn't anything it says "serial" when i plug in the usb it stays as "serial" and if i pull out the battery and hold down the "volume down" button and re-insert the battery while the phone has a usb cable plugged in, the tri-color screen appears but at the bottom it is empty no "serial" or "usb".

Oh mighty XDA members lend me your awsomeness and knowledge :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiclipto:
hello? :( ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot66:
Firstly I'd try a new USB lead, and then do a hard reset, do you know how to do this?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot66:
To flash a new rom you need to download one unzip and rename nbh file to leoimg.nbh place it on the root of your SD card. Boot up holding volume down button and power button together then release power button once prompt. It will install new rom. Also make sure you have 50+ battery

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot66:
Or to hard reset simply boot up holding volume up and down and power button together

[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
sorry if this has been asked but im new to a lot of this stuff and i wanted to put the vibrant6 rom that just came out on my vibrant and i was wandering that if i dont like it are just want to take it off i can do a restore from rom manager. I would of course use rom manager to backup my rom first. Also if i do this and keep it will i still get the OTA updates. It looks like this rom is keeping the stock kernal and that im sure if i changed that then i would not get the updates. I just a little nervouse about this. Thank you
[Vibrant General] erickrios:
Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing!
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
I downloaded the vibrant6 zip from the 4shared that I was directed to and it took all of a second to download which I know was way to fast. I went to unzip it and it was unsuccessful I don't know why. So even if I wanted to do this I can't.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
You need not unzip it.
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
He is saying that the file is surely corrupt. As there is no md5sum it is hard to know for sure. Mine, which worked for me, even though I switched back, was f8e63a14d575061f83221710522cb22b.

Obviously to install Vibrant 6 you need to flash stock rom, then flash vibrant6 with odin.

When I decided to go back to stock rom I flashed stock rom with odin then ran nandroid restore of a point I had made right before trying Vibrant6.
[Vibrant General] rizzxx7:
I flashed vibrant6 via clockwork and it worked just fine, you just have to have a stock rom with root for it to work properly
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
But does it need to be unzip first.
[Vibrant General] SiL3nTKiLL:
yes it does
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
No it doesn't, its an update.zip.

OP just download the file and place it on the root of your internal SDcard. Reboot into recovery and flash it from there.
[Vibrant General] dashed:
If you uninstall clockworkmod recovery you might get OTA updates but it depends on the rom you are using. With any alternative recovery you may be able to download the OTA, but it will not flash because of the recovery. I dont know why people worry about OTA updates! If its being sent OTA, I guarantee it will be on XDA months before! If you want OTAs, leave your phone stock.

SetCPU doesn't overclock for you. You can only go to 1000mhz with SetCPU on the X unless you overclock. There are a couple of overclocking apps for the droidX in the market now. You can use those to achieve a higher clock speed and then you can use SetCPU to make your adjustments.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hey :)

As some maybe know I'm working on a lag fix for our Galaxy S.

This lag fix uses ext4 as native filesystem directly on the internal SD to replace rfs.

Features and description here

I'm coding the migration procedure right now and just figured that I need the partition layout of 16GB models to support them :)

Here is how you can get this data (as root)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1

This command will produce a little file describing how your Galaxy S partitions are arranged. You'll find this file as "mbr.bin" in the SD mounted on your computer.

It does not contain any personal information.

required too, the result of :

cat /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0/size

Thanks !

Sample partition layout dump of the 8GB version :

$ sfdisk -d mbr_samsung
# partition table of mbr_samsung
unit: sectors

mbr_samsung1 : start= 64, size= 12124096, Id= c
mbr_samsung2 : start= 12124160, size= 3932160, Id= c
mbr_samsung3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
mbr_samsung4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
well i'm rooted and using terminal emulator and ADB through my PC gets the same result as he posted.

*EDIT - Here's mine sorry rebooted and it ran just fine. this is JM2 with the one click lag fix just for the info.

If it matters Bell vibrant i9000m 16gb model.

Goodluck
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you Spybreak and titovic !

Both your mbr are bit-identical, this is a good news :)

I guess I need another value to detect which hardware I deal with :

cat /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0/size

Thx again ;)

For the record, here is the partition table of your devices :

$ sfdisk -d mbr-16Go
# partition table of mbr-16Go
unit: sectors

mbr-16Go1 : start= 64, size= 28180416, Id= c
mbr-16Go2 : start= 28180480, size= 3932160, Id= c
mbr-16Go3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
mbr-16Go4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0

@RyanZA about tests, I played about 3 hours with my device formatted as native ext2.

I was quite surprised by the responsiveness even when installing apps. I did not thought that the difference would be so drastic :)

I'll do extensive tests to find the best settings.

My goal is to preserve a maximum of interactivity, by consequence it will lower the benchmark settings a bit.

Here is an example of Quadrant run on /data as ext2 (no settings customization)

Note : I used ext2 because my e2fsprogs produced by default ext4 and ext3 formats that the old 2.6.29 drivers were not able to read :eek:

PS :

Quadrant score will theoretically always be lower than those obtained with mount -o loop because the filesystem honors fsyncs(), and SQLite database used in Android use fsync big time (and there is a reason why!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] canadian_psyko:
Bell i9000M, rooted, JH2.

New request:

31260672

Question: why journalized fs on a flash device though?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Because you can corrupt a filesystem on flash exactly the same way that on a hard drive :

Kernel driver crash / phone lockup

Abrupt power down (remove the battery)

Abrupt reboot, pressing a combination of keys.

The flash disk here is presented as block, so it looks like a hard drive to the filesystem.

PS : thansk for your 31260672 :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sunwee:
wow this looks promising. but why don't you consider using YAFFS2 which is also used in Nexus One? havent heard anyone complaining of our kind of lag in the N1 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
+1, seems a reasonable choice. For testing anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] veper:
Agreed with the above, most likely YAFFS2 should be used, especially since Google decided it's the way to go =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Here's mine from a 16gb i9000 (singapore version) with JM5 and pit512. Won't the pit file used to flash your ROM affect this, or at least the original data you requested...?

# cat /sys/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0/size
32112640

Also, attached is my mbr.bin from the 16gb phone mentioned above.

I like the idea of yaffs also, but would require custom kernels.

I'm glad to see someone working on this, I think it's ultimately the best solution. I was thinking of trying to mess around with it myself, but decided it was a bit beyond my skill levels...basically backup the partition, format in yaffs, then restore the data, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
stock kernel doesnt not support yaffs2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Yes, you're correct, I was just coming back to edit that out of my post. I forgot I was still running a custom kernel the last time I ran cat /proc/filesystems and that kernel supported yaffs. I'm back on stock JM5 kernel now and see no yaffs support.

original post amended.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
ok, you are probably running my kernel.. that kernel is kinda outdated cos the OC div table is not done properly so flash back to stock or my latest oc kernel with wake lag fixed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] veper:
Yes, but why not make an ultimate fix using your updated kernel? =)
