[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauldo85:
Hi everyone,

I currently use an Xperia X1, and I'm quite happy with it. Only one thing is bothering me, and that is that the device has a customization process when a hard-reset is given. And during this process a lot of things are installed on the device, both necessary and unnecessary. Things like sudoku, bejeweled, opera, java stuff etc, just unnecessary and it uses memory.

Is there a way I can edit or interrupt this process. I did read about flashing your rom etc but I find this a risk because I was still in my warranty period.

Thanks in advance

Paul
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
unfortunately no because these items are cooked into the rom by the manufacturer.

you would basically have to edit the rom from scratch to remove these items, this something a new user should not attempt.

Find a cooked rom that you like and flash that.

I believe that you maybe able to find the original provider rom has already be saved in this forum by someone else, copy that and you can flash back to that if you have any warranty issues.
[Desire HD General] Nauggie:
Hi - Been loving my new DHD however have this intermittent problem when making a phonecall all i get is a single beep and 'call ending' message. Today while outdoors it just refused to connect but working ok now.

It rings once at the receiver then cuts off so I was told.

I have plenty of signal and the person I'm calling can call me back after getting the one ring and wondering whats going on after the I've tried several times!

On Vodafone

Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] Nauggie:
Ok did some googling and found a thread for the old Desire which talks about the same problem and relates it to the H network in certain areas. Seems to be a vodafone problem? Happens in airports and other specific areas around the country.

Recommended to switch to 2G. I'll have to try that when down in that area again.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vettejock99:
Need some help from the geniuses. And though it'll be clear I am not one of these geniuses, I wanted to mention this is my 5th Android phone and I've perma-rooted all of the others and flashed ROMs hundreds of times. I've also searched for a resolution to this with no luck. Lastly, I know some will argue this fits in General or Q&A, but this problem has been reported by a number of folks across phone lines without resolution and I think it is going to require real dev collaboration to solve and possibly help prevent this in the future, so I'm posting it in Dev.

Now, on to the problem....

Bought a MT4G yesterday and came home to root. Followed some of the great guides here to use Visionary R14 to get temproot and then "permaroot". I was getting S-OFF, but my root didn't seem to be lasting beyond reboot, maybe this was because I was showing 2.2 and not the 2.2.1 OTA update. So, I continued with the permaroot guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225 and all seemed to be going well. My root was surviving reboot and I had S-OFF, but the LAST STEP is to reboot again and check S-flag in HBOOT and that's where I went wrong. I'd left the PD15IMG file on the SD root and when it rebooted I guess I was holding the volume rocker up unintentionally, so it flashed this file without me being able to stop it. I rebooted and still showed S-OFF and 2.2.1, but now when I entered terminal emulator and type "su" I get an error about the user being unknown (doing a "ls su" in /system/bin shows su to be there, btw). Obviously the file screwed up root, and reverted my recovery from Clockworkmod to stock. From there I thought I'd reflash the OTA update.zip but I get an "invalid operation" error.

So I probably should have asked for help then, but I've been trying to follow downgrade guides and redo the root procedures but no joy, usually because they require root to initiate the downgrade (to flash a recovery and do a nandroid restore or to execute some steps of the script). I can get a # prompt when I run the rage scripts, but it appears to be losing root when I reboot. One attempt turned S-ON back on as well. My searching turned up a number of other users who have obviously had this problem with various android phones, and the only one to report successfully fixing flashed a non-root update.zip and did some sort of fixes to busybox.

In summary, I can't return the phone to T-mo because I bought it from an associate at work, and I appear to be stuck between root and non-root without any options that are clear to me to resolve the situation. I am somewhat familiar with adb, fastboot flashing, etc., so if someone can just help me fix su/busybox or somehow flash this back to stock so I can start over or something I would be HUGELY appreciative.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grankin01:
Try the alternative method in my guide with rage instead of visionary and see if that helps. One thing is does is reinstall su and busybox. Also, make sure that you have deleted the PD15IMG.zip from your sdcard so that this doesn't happen again.:eek:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpanic7:
Hey! i had the same problem and all i had to do was re-flash the ROM and ive been fine ever since!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpanic7:
just either use the stock rom in the downgrading post, or flash one of the new ones i.e. icedglacier or Gorillas's. iceglaciers seems to be pretty functional right now gorillas is awesome just has a few kinks he's working on ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmai:
try this (you should be s-off) and assuming you have busybox already installed.

run rage to get su in your terminal then run the following command in the terminal

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

busybox chown 0 /system/bin/su

busybox chmod 4755 /system/su

install the superuser.apk if it's not already installed

make sure everything is working by opening a adb shell and typing "su" to verify.

use your phone normally and try rebooting after a few hours. hopefully the fs cache flushed and root is fixed permanently.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vettejock99:
Okay, first things first - guess I have to try to see if I can even get S-OFF again or if I've completely screwed myself.

Going to try the alt root method, but I think I have been and it wasn't working. So unless me being tired at 1am was the cause, I may need some more help. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vettejock99:
Okay, followed the s-off guide, and ran the busybox commands posted above, and I am back to S-OFF and now I get "permission denied" instead of "unknown user root". I think this is progress, but still can't flash because I don't have root. I noticed opening Superuser keeps FC'ing...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmai:
just follow this guide here, which you are already familiar with. it's for temp root using rage. but since your phone has the eng hboot with s-off it should become permanent once the FS flushes out to disk (flash)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797042

follow the guide for root and mainly to get the su files installed just in case your's didn't instal properly prior. when you are done just type "sync" multiple times in your terminal

wait a while an hour or so. then reboot to verify that it's permanent.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
Same thing happened to me with the unknown root user. What finally fixed it for me, was redoing the adb commands that put those files on your device so you could use rage. Once it re put the files on my phone, I did the rage commands again and it worked
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vettejock99:
Thanks, everyone! I am working again, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the help. I was THIS CLOSE to giving up on this phone.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
Hello my friends,

I know how using WceLoad in order to installing a cab, but i don't know how using it in order to uninstalling a cab.

The Wceload tool (Wceload.exe) runs on your target device. You use this tool to [B]install [/B]or [B]uninstall [/B]the cab file from a location that you specify. If you do not specify a location, the cab file will be installed or uninstalled in the default location, which is the Program Files directory on your target device.

Anyone have a tips for this ?

Thanks a lot,

regards,

Nixeus
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kliptik:
I don't know if it can be done using WCELoad, so I've done through an XML provisioning. Take a look:

// Uninstall the *.cab
XmlDocument configDoc = new XmlDocument();
configDoc.LoadXml(
"<wap-provisioningdoc>" +
"<characteristic type=\"UnInstall\">" +
"<characteristic type=\"[B][U][I]YOUR APP HERE[/I][/U][/B]\">" +
"<parm name=\"uninstall\" value=\"1\"/>" +
"</characteristic>" +
"</characteristic>" +
"</wap-provisioningdoc>"
);

ConfigurationManager.ProcessConfiguration(configDoc, false);

In the code above, you need to insert the name of your app EXACTLY as it appears in the "Remove Programs" list.

It's been a while since I wrote this, so I don't remember all of the sources I checked to find it, but it works great for me!

Hope that helps!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] kliptik:
Awesome! Glad I was able to help!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
With wceload when you install a newer version of a program it tells you it must first remove the previous version. After it does that it asks if you want to install to the device or storage. If you cancel at this point, the program is removed and you do not have the newer one installed.

If you are trying to do it without interaction, I have read where you create a cab with the exact name that has nothing in it. So in silent mode the original is removed and the new empty one is installed.

I like this other way since there will not be the name in the remove list that is an empty program.

Have to remember this for the future.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
I may be getting a replacement EVO today and it will (probably?) have the new hboot (2.02) which means I can't root it the way I did my old one.

--On a side note, how do I find out what version I have?--

This leads me to my question, since I have clockwordmod recovery now and have been making nandroid backups using that recovery, are those images able to be used by Amon_ra or are they something entirely different? Putting clockworkmod on 2.02 phones is apparently a no-no at this time so I'm stuck with Amon_ra - not that there's anything wrong with that, I'd just like to be able to root, boot into recovery, flash my current ROM with apps/settings and go about my life.

Thanks.

EDIT: @#!$, this probably should be in Android Software and Hacking. Sorry.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
No, hboot is your bootloader. It's the white screen with the skating androids you get when you hold power and vol down to power the phone on. Hboot version will be 0.76/0.96 or something like that.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
Bored of your framework icons. make your own colored icons as per your wish. Simple to use . Just select the color and you are done.

Attached you'll find a pretty basic program in a folder with all the stock sony status bar images. If you run the program you can click on the square to choose your colour and then click on 'Select Folder'. The default is the folder that the exe is in.

As soon as you select the folder, all the icons in that folder will be processed and saved with the same name in an 'out' subfolder (like the ones in the attachment).

The images will be set to the selected color and the background is made transparent. This is hard-coded for the x10 mini/mini pro stock status bar icons, it may work for other icons from the stock apk's, or it might not It just works on a hard-coded value for the blue channel.

Now you can have what ever color icons you want in the status bar

NOTE: .Net Framework 2.0 required (pre-installed on win vista and 7)

Thanks!!! This is what i have been after for a little while.. :-) .. Also whilst I am here does anyone know a way to change the icons in 'Settings'?? The icons are pretty boring, I would like to change them to some like the desire ones.. Please let me know if this is possible???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
are you talking abt the default settings icon??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phpchris:
This works perfectly. One small suggestion, would it be possible to add the option of specifying a background color instead of transparent?

If you look at this screenshot, where it says "USB connected" & "USB debugging connected" the icons to the left are white which makes them invisible.

Edit:

Ended up manually editing one image by adding a black layer behind it in photoshop then creating a batch action to do the rest.

[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
This is going to be patently obvious to anybody familiar with Android, but I just started poking around and it wasn't clear to me how to do it. I figured I'd post it here if anybody else is in the same boat :)

1) Download CyanogenMod - build probably doesn't matter much, I used the I9000 ROM from this thread (n.b. - if you know of a trusted source to get current dropbear binaries, you don't need to download the huge CM zip, but I didn't see any floating around)

2) Extract the zip. You only need two files:

system/xbin/dropbear

and

system/xbin/dropbearkey

3) Navigate to the directory that contains those files using your favorite shell.

4) Push these to your device. This requires ADB (which is included in the Android SDK) in your path, it requires that your phone is rooted, and it requires that /system is mounted rw:

adb push dropbear /system/xbin/
adb push dropbearkey /system/xbin/

5) Run the following from 'adb shell' or a root terminal on your phone:

mkdir /data/dropbear; mkdir /data/dropbear/.ssh

(aside - why is there no -p option to my mkdir? weird)

6) From here, you can follow the instructions on the CM wiki and you're good to go!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
I've been trying to recreate a flashable firmware based on the stock TMobile flash dumps and I have complete success.

Heres how to save your current firmware. It will be saved with all apps and settings except for whats on /sdcard.

I recommend reseting to defaults using "Settings->Privacy->Factory data reset" if you want to give these files to someone else to build a flashable rom for you. That will delete all your personal information.

Note: I just backed up a completely setup AT&T Tab, with tons of apps and customizations and restored it to my stock T-Mobile Tab, perfectly! Every app works, home screen is setup perfect, everything!

Effectively this is equivalent to a nandroid backup.

I'll call it "Roto Backup"!

mkdir backup
cd backup
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bin bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/pit.pit bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/Sbl.bin bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/dbdata.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "tar -czvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz /data"

adb pull /sdcard/param.lfs .
adb pull /sdcard/zImage .
adb pull /sdcard/factoryfs.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/dbdata.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/cache.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/modem.bin .
adb pull /sdcard/efs.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/boot.bin .
adb pull /sdcard/Sbl.bin .
adb pull /sdcard/pit.pit .
adb pull /sdcard/data.tar.gz .

Note you will be prompted for superuser permissions on the Tabs LCD on every dd command.

If you don't have the tar command on your tab, install Busybox Installer from the market.

I just paste the above commands into my command shell window and when im done all the files are siting in my current (backup) directory.

Roto Restore:

First flash the data back:

adb push data.tar.gz /sdcard/data.tar.gz
adb shell su -c "tar -zxvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz"
adb reboot download

Now flash the dumps with Heimdall:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --modem modem.bin --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --param param.lfs

Of course you could tar the files right n the Tab and flash via Odin if you really want to:

adb shell
cd /sdcard
tar -cf mybackup.tar cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zImage
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mybackup.tar .

This interesting work, im curious though, what is your ultimate goal?

You want a Tmo firmware dump? to what end?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
The Tmo dump/restore is a test. I want a solid backup/restore and custom rom creation solution.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
Fair enough. But is the custom recovery being developed (and progressing nicely) not a solid enough solution?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
I won't know till its functional.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
Do you not have other android devices? I know of none where it doesn't function. So there is no reason i wouldn't wait a little longer for this to be ported.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
A nandroid backup of my rom isn't something I can post publicly on the net. Regardless, I need to create full custom roms that can be flashed using Odin and Heimdall.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alias_neo:
Exactly, you post update.zips and then people use clockwork to flash the full ROM. On device recovery is much better than Odin method and more accessible to noobs that have an aneurism when they see the Odin iterface.

As for dumping your ROM to customise, well, yes, either this way using dd or decrypt the Odin flash files.

No, it sounds like he's trying to do exactly what he says he's doing, and that is to recreate the base TMo firmware from DD dumps!

Why? So that if necessary he could return to complete stock if he wished, and because there is no stock TMo image available.

A Nandroid backup doesn't cut the mustard in this case.

Remember guys - just because you don't see a need for something, it doesn't mean that that need doesn't exist for others!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
rotohammer: I've been looking for the ways to dump the firmware like you are suggesting for the AT&T version, mainly because the only available dump is an older version that stock. So far all I've found is this from another post by you:

The instructions seem straightforward enough for anyone who has used dd before. How were you able to ascertain the location of this (and other) pieces of the firmware? (Interested to know prior to trying to enable voice on my Tab by swapping modems and reflashing. I'm familiar with Samsung devices since I have a Captivate, but not too reassured that the newest firmware available to restore to is older than launch date.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
The Tab follows the flash layout of other previous Samsung phones, so just google them, the info is out there. I stare at hexdumps to identify/prove what each partition contains, no big deal.

I feel that once some more official firmware is released all the need for reconstruction of dumps will eliminated.
