[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
I've tested tons of combinations, but yes I did as you say:

Flahsed a fresh untouched ROM from my version's RUU, this turned S-ON and lost root.

Then used Visionary 14 to temp root-> perm root with r/w ticked.

After reboot, I had root and was able to mount r/w on demand, but was unable to install ClockworkMod (CWM) from the ROM Manager app because I was S-ON (obviously because visionary r14 doesn't have engineering hboot).

I think CWM is priceless, so I installed the eng hboot again to go S-OFF.

If you check koush's (ROM Manager) thread, he states CWM requires S-OFF

[G2 and Desire Z General] zuachs:
Yes it was the problem, I'm glad it's working for you! :) I agree with you regarding the CWM
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Since your guides are so amazing :) Do you think you can make a dummy one for how to loose root and S-Off, more specifically where to get the stock RUUs and how to flash them?

Do you get them from shipped-roms.com or where?

I just want to be sure in case of having to return back the device.

Thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] mamoulian666:
I don't understand why though - if you can flash to the HBOOT partition why can't you flash to the recovery partition?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
You can. You'd need to use the wpthis thing before using clockwork. Think I'd prefer S-OFF though.

Sent from a Pulse. Yes, a Pulse.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mamoulian666:
OK so Visionary will temproot and then insmod wpthis... So theoretically you could then (without rebooting) run Rom Manager and it could flash ClockworkRecovery, which itself has been modified to include wpthis so you wouldn't need to flash HBOOT?

I know some would prefer to have S-OFF in the HBOOT, but if you're not fussed or don't want to take the risk then the above could be an option... if my understanding's right!? :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
What is wpthis??
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
The module that turns off the write protection on the internal NAND storage. See the sticky threads on rooting for more details.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
the wpthis ("write protect this") effect is temporary since a reboot will delete it and restore stock values

theoretically speaking, you could insmod wpthis and then tell ROM Manager to install CWM
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
I've been updating the FAQs day after day,

I think all of your requirements are already there (flashing from RUU, getting the RUUs, how to go back from root and S-OFF, etc. It's all in the FAQ.

Where do I get 'em ?? The Desire Z Android Development forum has several RUUs listed, these are the only ones I am aware of.

A specific link to a specific RUU ?? Not a good idea:

I could link them on the tutorial, but newer ones will always pop up and links will get obsolete, people will get confused.

Thats why I btter state "check the forum for currnt / latest available RUUs".
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Could you having s-off and of course perm root, to come back to stock rom could you copy the PC10img to the root of the sdcard and enter into bootloader? will that work?

Thanks a lot in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
No I didn't test that...
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Beware of the problem described at this thread, especially once there are OTA updates for the DZ - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
If you flash the correct RUU or use the correct image in the way described above your fine, that is only a warning for those who are silly :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Why is it silly though ? Isn't it logical that someone might think they can flash the original RUU to go back, and according to that write-up, you can then end up with a difficult/impossible-to-recover situation ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Well downgrading of any sort can always cause issues, in previous android phones this problem is always overcome with a goldcard however I don't think it will work here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Just for the record, I have successfully downgraded from a "newer" Bell version to a "previous" generic version with a goldcard (official RUU)
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Ok sorry for the doubt again, but lets say this that my Desire Z european version is perm rooted and with S-Off then I go and find the exact stock RUU for instance this:

RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2 found at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815253

Will this bring me back to the original unrooted and s-on with stock rom??

You might wonder why if I root and s-off am thinking in this, but I rather be prepared for the worse since honestly I have never ever had luck with any kind of devices and I am sure (hopefully I am wrong) that one day due to my bad luck I might send it back for reparation and therefore I would like to know how to do this :)

Thanks in advance :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
The procedure is correct, but you chose the wrong RUU (Bell NAM) :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Once there is an OTA update for the DZ though, will that still work ? Won't we run into this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484 ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Thanks a lot, I have been searching and only been able to find this ruu, could you put me in the right direction for european ruus?

Because on this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815253 it says to use on Desire Z only, so I am quite confuse which one is the right ruu for the european version of Desire Z

If

you dont want to create confusion as you said before you could pm me, thanks and hope not to bother you so much but i cant find one :confused:

EDIT

I think I got it would this be the one????:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822908

I mean shall I be in search of a not BELL NAM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yes, that's the stock ROM for UK phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
But the subject says European so I am assuming it will work with any desire z?

Thanks a lot for the support
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
It's labelled up as a European ROM, so I *assume* it'll work with any standard WWE European phone, i.e. the same phones as we have here in the UK. I mention the UK specifically because I've got a UK phone and I have that same ROM version on mine.

I don't know about phones with different keyboards, whether there are any issues there. I guess we don't know yet because (I could be wrong) I don't think they are out yet ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Thanks for the help highly appreciated :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] TJMJT:
I have the new Samsung Focus and love it. I do have one problem I didnt experience with my Fuze. I have a camera server that produces a mpeg 4 stream that I cannot get the version of IE in phone 7 to run. It will connect to the address and ask to install active x. I tell it to but it never produces a picture. I think it maybe due to the inability to set any security and active x settings like the full IE browser. I ran Opera on my fuze and never had a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions or do I have to wait for an alternative browser to show up? Thanks for any input
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Active-X support in IE was sawed off, unless there is an alternative browser/stand alone player that supports web video streaming you will have to see if it will be included in the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] at45:
Or wait for an IP camera app. Someone is bound to write one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
There are a lot of them on other mobile operating systems.

So chances are that there will be quite a few soon enough.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Did Opera open the MPEG4 stream in a different app (like HTC's streaming app?). If so, the problem is just that WP7 does not support web video (i.e. MPEG4 streams, etc.) at the moment.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khirolazuddin:
Hi all.

:(

No other expression can describe mine right now.

I was trying to flash I9000XWJM9 using Odin. The instruction was to first tick the 'Re-partition', 'Auto Reboot', and 'F. Reset Time'. Next, I load the 512.pit file, and start flashing as instructed. Here's my mistake. When the phone turned off, and I saw Odin display 'Pass', I thought that it is safe to remove the battery, so I eagerly removed it. Then only I realized that I should wait for the phone to display something related to reset.

Now, my phone can't be turned on in any way. I tried to plug the charger to see if there's any battery indicator for charging, but nothing happen.

I'm trembling with anger at myself for being hasty, and also for the phone that might just be a brick soon.

What should I do now?? :(

HELP!

You welcome, I guess it was out of charge
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TallPaul86:
I don't have a Samsung Galaxy S anymore, i now have an HTC Desire HD, however i do have a thought to possibly run past current owners right now - i'm namely talking about the Galaxy S i9000 however if this applies to the US variants like Captivate, Fascinate, Vibrant etc then fair do's...

The main reason for switching from the Galaxy S to the HTC Desire HD was that the Samsung Galaxy S was so SLOW - god awfully slow (So much so that i reverted back to my BlackBerry Bold whilst waiting on my Desire HD being delivered)

Upon receiving my Desire HD with no SD Card inserted, it ran amazingly smooth and fast however when loading in a SanDisk Class 2 16gb microSD Card, it was slow whilst preparing the SD Card however it then remained slow after it had done the necessary preparations. (So i initially thought it was a problem with the SD Card)

However, after searching through a couple of forums courtesy of Google Search i found that by going through Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development and then enabling/checking USB Debugging, this increased the speed immensely to the point where there is NO lag at all...

...which made me then think "Did i do that on the Samsung Galaxy S?" because if i didn't i may have got rid of the phone for nothing!! Can any SGS owners verify if this works or makes an improvement at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Thunder_Bolt:
How could this possibly make a difference, but then what do I know. I was under the impression that this function was to prevent annoying messages from popping up on the screen when connecting to your PC and not much else. I have given it a go and what do you know, it does seem to be an improvement. Don't get me wrong, I did not suffer from much of a lag issue in the first place, but I have noticed that when running a couple of applications like pyramid solitaire I need to flush the memory first with task manager or the animations are a bit laggy. I will continue to use the phone in de-bug mode and see if it is maybe just a placebo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TallPaul86:
I thought the same as well however i found the below info from the Vodafone eForum: -

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/7...ied-and-fixed/page__view__findpost__p__508092

Something to do with the /INIT process which was slowing things down so i don't know if "maybe" the same issue was affecting the SGS possibly...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Thunder_Bolt:
Very interesting article TP86, I have been trying to make the phone laggy since applying the debug mode, but so far it is still super quick. I have opened the web browser, market place and a few other apps. This should grind pyramid solitaire to a stuttering halt, but I can confirm that it is most definitely not. I am going to switch debug mode off and see what happens
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Thunder_Bolt:
Lag is back when I swtich debug off. Switched it on and it was gone again. Thanks for the tip TP86
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stianbert:
Sgs scores 1000 in quadrant...desire hd around 1800. All about software. Samsung must hire some good devs:-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] airf0rce:
Lag issue u are talking about on DHD is related to /init process eating up 90+% CPU usage. Enabling USB debug fixes it and /init process goes back to normal (0% CPU usage) and your phone is fast again.

Cause of SGS lag is different so USB debugging wont increase performance. You could always use lagfixes tho (basically thats why i still have my SGS even though i had chance to exchange it for DHD).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Thunder_Bolt:
I hear what you are saying and you sound like you know what you are talking about, but have you given it a go? Mine has definitely improved using debug mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] airf0rce:
Yes i had a DHD for 2 days , its a good phone, everything is working out of the box , no need to flash custom roms (not that there were any last time i checked) and stuff like that to get it working properly (apart from enabling debug mode hehe :) ) and its pretty fast especially compared to SGS :)

Its just I like SGS a bit more, mostly because of things like S-AMOLED screen, size and weight, far better multimedia support (mkv, 720p etc), gpu, and bunch of others.

Yeah stock samsung firmwares are crap, lag is pretty bad when you have lot of stuff installed but if you dont mind flashing custom ROMs i think most of those issues can be fixed or at least made acceptable.

But it really comes down to personal preference, both are good phones , each with its pros and cons. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Thanks for the tip. I'll try using this as well, let's just hope that the battery life doesn't take a hit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
wow...this is actually true..

I'll report back after apx 24hours!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Is it my mind or has the phone become peppier? Well, will play with it a bit more and let you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TallPaul86:
After about a week or so with my DHD, the performance difference is amazing and, more importantly, consistent.

Battery life is still fairly dire - then again I am abusing the phone massively so I can't really complain much (Frequent RSS Feeder updates, constant browser use and playing Angry Birds tend to eat up the battery!!)

So, for me, the USB Debugging tip has certainly helped out the performance. What about you SGS owners out there? Noticeable improvement in performance or consistency?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
hmmmm not really. I didn't really have that much of a problem in the first place, will have a look 2moro with the USB debugging off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zeco:
Hmm this is quite an interesting theory, and while as far as I know, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the SGS Lag it may be a factor.

I've had this phone for a while now and definitely do NOT feel lag on a regular basis. I can remember about 3 or 4 hiccups in the past, but those were more like isolated incidents.

Which is interesting because when I got the phone I immediately turned on debugging, and keep it in this mode all the time for various reasons, so I don't think I've ever used the phone for an extended period of time without debugging on. So I will try turning it off tommorow to see if there are any effects.

So Perhaps the reason I do not feel much lag on my device is due to the supposed debugging trick, rather than me having dull senses like I initially reasoned.

(Running 2.1, JH2, Bell Vibrant GT-i9000m, internal memory already failed once, and from what I can tell they just replaced the mainboard)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pegart:
Weird as hell. Turning USB debugging on almost completely removed all lag. I could easily say that it's completely lag free 90 % of the time if not even more.

(Eclair with OCLF)

It would be nice to see a detailed explanation as to why is this happening.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
No different at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ApnaDroid:
My Samsung i9000 (India) does not have any performance issues at all !!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pegart:
After some days of testing I can correct myself. It's not the USB debugging option that removed the lag. I changed the Alter minfree option in the OCLF at about the same time as checked the option for USB debugging. And now I can surely say it was the Alter minfree option that speeded my phone up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
Placebo effect.

I have usb debugging on since.. I don't know. It definitely makes absolutely no difference in terms of lag.

Froyo on sgs is simply laggy experience.

Keyboard input lags, while receiving a file via bluetooth it lags, when it connect to wifi it lags, when u install an app it lags, the browser is laggy too, apps runs relative slow , pretty everything runs crappy. thumbs down for samsung and android

(BackStory)

This is how I installed the Vanilla Mms App on my G2 Running Desire Z ROM. No risk if you back up your ROM using ROM Manger,

there are many guides on how to do this.

THIS WORKS ON ANY ROM​

Hey guys! I was just looking at the "HTC Sense" Messaging App for the Desire Z ROM and basically I noticed.. it sucks..

Its really bulky and some parts of it don't fit on the screen... (Although the Desire Z ROM Is the GREATEST!)

I wondered if it was possible to extract the "Vanilla" Mms.apk and install it on the Desire Z ROM... So I booted up Vanilla on my G2 and did the work.

This IS possbile! And It works GREAT!

Apps Needed:

Mms.apk (Download Link below)

Android Mate/Root Explorer/File Manager/Linda Explorer, (Pick your Favorite)

Terminal Emulator, you can alternatively use adb shell

Obviously, a rooted phone

Installation: (Fool Proof)

Download my Link Down there, Mms.apk

Plug your phone into the computer and tranfer the file on the root of your SD card

You will now be removing your Mms.apk app from your ROM; Back up if you think you're gonna mess up;

Preform A Nandroid backup using ROM MANAGER, there are many guides on doing so, find them.

Go into Terminal Emulator and type in the following:

**note in some ROMs it will be called "com.android.mms.apk" so check what the name is before you type that in**

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system

rm /system/app/Mms.apk (or com.android.mms.apk)

If your Text messaging app is running, it probably will force close.

After uninstalling, reboot, if F/C occurs, do a simple battery pull.

When your device reboots, it should no longer have the "Messaging" app installed!

Through your favorite file manager, move "Mms.apk" to /system/app/

Now, go through the installing procedure like you would any app.

It should now be installed, reboot the phone, CONGRATULATIONS

Taddaa!! The next step is to enjoy your new Vanilla Mms on Htc Sense (or any rom)

You may tweek the app how you want; change the color through settings by pressing menu on the Messaging app.. etc..

Disclaimer, I am not the person who hurt your phone if you mess up, you are. Do a back up, nothing can be harmed unless you delete other files besides the Mms.apk.

This Mission was success!

The APK File that is attached IS Working as of NOVEMBER 21 2010; It has been fixed!!​

***ATTENTION: THANK YOU TO WHEELIEST FOR GETING A BETTER APK***

Ignore every comment that says Force/Closed, the APK Attached has been fixed and works perfectly!​
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Brazildiogo732:
Nov/20 WORKING! Good to go!

This works Seamlessly! Everything works and It looks perfect!

*Don't Forget To Do A Battery Pull after Uninstalling and After Installing The MMS.APK

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
are you suppose to move the Vanilla Mms.apk into system/app then find it / install it either via root explorer or ADB?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Brazildiogo732:
Not Working?

Hey Guys! Sorry its not working for you :o I uninstalled it to see if it was tainted, but I can install it and send/receive messages perfectly.

As far as I know, there are no changed settings on my phone. Sorry. I don't know what can be done... Everything I did was right in the directions. Try contacting a more experienced person to this Thread to see if they know whats going on.

Sorry Again..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrichards2009:
When you go to install the mms.apk it says that its version 2.1 android. That might be the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pbedard:
