[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shatterv2:
I'm not sure what it is really. :o

While giving permissions to the system folder I've assigned all of the proper permissions for as far as I am aware.

Be it Sense or stock, I always get a boot error after creating the system.ext2, typing adb logcat:

/dev/log/main : Permission Denied

This halts the boot process.

Can anyone tell me which permissions need to be given to the system files prior to building them into a system.ext2?

I've also tried

chmod 4777 system/*

Thank you, and please ask if you need anymore information. :)
[Nexus S General] qreffie:
OK, I got my Nexus S yesterday and it's been freezing on me multiple times each time requiring a battery pull. All I've done to it is unlock fastboot and root it using the superboot .bat file method. No custom kernels or anything else. I haven't even flashed clockwork recovery. The only other thing I did was use root explorer to put the hex edited flash apk on it so I can use it to watch hulu, but it's done this about 4-5 times today and twice in the last two hours. My bootloader is still unlocked right now, but I doubt that's the issue either. Anyone know of a solution or should I just brave the Christmas line tomorrow and exchange it for a different one?

Side note:

And I know the score means nothing but, every time I tried to run Quadrant it fails. Anyone know why that is?

Thanks

edit: post actually says what the problem is now.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
cant exactly pinpoint what your problem is?

There must be a sentence missing because I don't see a problem anywhere either :confused:
[Nexus S General] qreffie:
Oops I fight to post the problem. It's been freezing several times. At least 5 times today. I even got the ! screen on one of the freezes and I've had to do battery pulls each time.
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Do a factory reset either through the privacy settings or through recovery. I don't know if you'll have to root again, but that should fix any software issue that preexisted root.

[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
was your phone doing this before you add the root or whatever extra stuff you added?
[Nexus S General] qreffie:
I think it froze maybe 1 time. I did the factory reset and I'm charging my battery right now. I didn't lose root which is good, but I don't know if it'll solve the problem. I guess I'll be able to tell if factory reseting it worked or not in a few hours.
[Nexus S General] qreffie:
Still freezing after the factory reset. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Best Buy this morning to get a new one.
[Nexus S General] qreffie:
What user error would that be?

Best Buy gave me the HARDEST time exchanging it. They kept asking me about whether or not I got the update and that it should fix my problem despite me telling them that even Samsung tech support said it wouldn't fix the issue and to get a new phone. Then they decided to test it out and it froze on the Google boot screen. Then all of s sudden they were OK with exchanging it.

Just hoping my second phone doesn't have the same issue.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Taijohnsen:
Hi everyone!

Has anyone found a way (maybe an app?) to change the screen backlight/lock behaviour?

What I'm looking for is the following behaviour:

Ability to have the screen only turn off the backlight after a certain amount of time, with

a) option to lock the device at the same time

b) option to also turn off the part of the screen that reacts to touch at the same time

c) options to set the timers for the aforementioned options separately

Basically I want the device to turn the backlight of the screen after 30 seconds to save power, but stay responsive to touch so that I don't need to pick up the device and press the power button before I can use it.

Then, after about 5 minutes, it should lock itself but respond to key presses, so that it can be unlocked without needing to press the power button.

Then, after another five minutes, the screen should completely go off and stop responding to touch altogether (the way it is on Android by default).

Has anyone found a way to do this? It would be REALLY useful for when you've got the phone laying flat on your desk and are IM'ing with a slow typer, meaning you've got 2 or 3 minutes between each message, and need to press the power button every time you get one...

It shohuld be a default setting in my opinion...

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way i can disable calling from my tab? i would like to use the 3G data only with no voice, I guess i can try flashing the American Firmware or ROM but i dont want to do that since it will no longer read Arabic. But if there is any way where i can strap the voice drivers that will be good.
[Galaxy Tab General] ghassan99:
I believe you should be able to do that by asking your provider for a SIM with data only
[Galaxy Tab General] javaman:
Unfortunatly they dont get it, i tried several times but they are so stupid.
[Galaxy Tab General] BuglessFan:
No actual help with the main issuehere, but a question or two.

If you never give out the number, what's the difference in having it there or not if your carrier isn't going to give you a SIM that bills differently? You can choose not to call out, and I'd imagine if you never give the number out the chances/frequency of random wrong number calls is pretty low. I guess I'm just wondering what benefit you'd gain by disabling voice.
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Your best bet is to flash a modem from another tab. I mean on my T-Mobile voice is disabled and 3g works.

[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
its getting damn annoying. I don't want to update yet until there's a clean way with clockwork or something
[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
can I flash the stock recovery then update to 2.3.1 and reflash clockwork?

or can I just update over clockwork?

all that I've done so far is unlock the bootloader, install clockwork, and root.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
as of now my understanding is that the "stock" recovery cannot be flashed over clockwork mod. he is working on a recovery to allow this
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Why don't you just accept it? If it fails because of ClockworkMod then you will never see it again.
[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
so can I flash the ota from rom manager?
[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
because I didn't know if it would mess anything up. didn't want to try it on a brand new phone
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Uh... It's an official update. Why would it mess anything up?
[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
because i didnt know if clockwork affected it all.

but its irrelevant now, i installed the update and re rooted and everything so im good.
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
Clockwork Recovery doesn't affect that. People are spreading misinformation.

It's modified boot.img's that are preventing updating. If you used one of the easy root methods, such as superboot, it replaces the stock boot.img with a modified one... this causes a MD5 mismatch when trying to update.

To fix it, you need to get the stock boot.img, and flash it back before updating. You can update via CWR (I did it myself).
[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
im all updated now so im good :D thank you for explaining that though
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
This happened two times, once where I had full five bars with a HSPA connection and at home more often where I have two bars with an edge connection.

What happens is, when I get a text message, I will view it and then once I reply, the signal will drop and I won't have any signal, and have to wait for the phone to reconnect.

The same has happened outside with full service.

At home, I have wifi calling enabled and sometimes that will even drop and I will have to wait for wifi calling to reconnect or for the phone to gain back reception.

Is this a common issue? I have the ota radio on it, (not flashing any other radios, due to the fear of bricking), and running on Cyanogens 6.1.1.

Edit: This tends to happen a lot, when I get multiple messages and reply to each other quicky. I do about 6k messages a month and its getting annoying having the phone lose/drop signal when replying or receiving messages.

Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderfunk:
Does this happen when you use the keyboard or the phone in landscape? I found out that if you cover the top party of the phone just above the camera with your hand the wifi completely drops. Turns out its the same antennagate as iphones but only affecting wif (so far). I actually can't use my keyboard on wifi because right away after putting my left hand on the top of the phone to hold it in landscape my wifi drops from full to either 1 bar or completely turns off and switches to H or 3G. If you're having the same issue then post back.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
I've had 'similar' issues. Its rare that my signal drops completely but when I have the phone open in landscape mode and am sending a text using the hardware keyboard, my signal does seem to drop by 10-15db.

I had the same issue with the stock ROM as well.

Although this is not a solution, I have noticed that the signal isn't affected as much if you keep your hands on the back of the phone 'low', as in my index fingers sit below the camera on the back of the phone when texting...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiptomylou11:
I've had connection problems ever since I updated the radio. My signal before that was great, and so it was at home. Ever since the update, I go from 2 bars of HSPA to Edge, which is pretty frustrating.

At work, my signal was great and never drops. But today I've been going from GSPA to Edge to 3G over and over, which has me really annoyed.

Edit: Also, I tend to lose connection when I receive an MMS, not a regular text. When I get a call and I don't answer, I lose signal completely, which has caused me to miss voice mails.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny-Jon:
Hey guys,

I rooted my I9000 running froyo:

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

PDR: I9000XXJP3

Phone: I9000XXJP2

CSC: I9000XXXJP3

by using Super One Click and it rooted fine and installed superuser. Now I was hoping to use the Vodoo Lagfix for Froyo using the update.zip method but I needed 2e but I had 3e. So I found CF-Root, but I didn't know which one to use for my phone. Somewhere along the line, I decided to try and use Odin to just use the .tar file to do the lagfix, but it required my phone to go into download mode. You see, when I was running eclair, I was able to do the three button boot to recovery, but after using Keis and getting Froyo, I havn't been able to boot in recovery or get my phone into download mode. <--- Download mode is required for me to use Odin right?

So please help a beginner ^^

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Armazia:
Thats so absolutely not true. Have you already tried it? Maybe it might be some bit stuttery, but there is no rom who does this better. Energy updates all roms of all devices. He updates software, and you know when you update software there might be a bug, or a infliction with other software. I can only see it positive that NRG updates it alot. Energy is absolutely the better rom, I think Exquisite is second. But you won't get everything working flawless on the Touch Pro for now. The device simply can't handle so much Eye candy. + I advice you to configure it yourself, that helps alot.

By the way have you tried the XDAndroid project? Keep in mind, it aint for the faint of heart... :p :D
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helgaiden:
Hey guys im having trouble finding the OTA update.zip file from the google servers. Any chance any of you might have it or a link to it? I need to do some things with a friend's Eris but its at 1.5.

An easy way to install Amon-Ra recovery would also be nice though and would eliminate my need for the 2.1 OTA zip file. The universal one click root method that also installs RA-Eris recovery does not install for some reason. I figured i needed to update the phone first. It wont update OTA as it has been flashed to MetroPCS.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woofers02:
Can't you just check for updates on the 1.5 phone and receive it that way?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8on3s:
maybe?

The OTA is not being sent out AFIK. you maybe could use the rom setup to bring you back to stock 2.1 from a rooted froyo --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792026 then go to root from this step.

*EDIT* They have to be rooted already to use this with Amon-Ra, sorry for not stating that earlier.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helgaiden:
:confused::confused:

Anyways, ive found a solution. Ill just root it at 1.5. The process installs Ra-eris recovery so after that ill flash a custom 2.1 ROM and be good to go for what i need. Thanks guys.

Just a quick status bar morph based on the new Gingerbread AOSP drawables. It changes your status bar and most status bar icons. This morph only changes the status bar drawables, so it SHOULD be compatibile with all ROMS, but I make no guarantees. I use it on Perception FWIW.

Screenshots to come.

Directions:

Copy to your SD Card.

Open MetaMorph

Select "Unzip/Extract New Theme"

Apply it and reboot.

[Nexus S General] Hobart007:
Hi all,

I tried rooting my Nexus S and now it only roots into Clockwork Recovery. I am completely new to rooting but I am sure that there must be a way to restore factory settings to the phone if it will boot to something and is not bricked.

At this point if I could just replace everything on the phone with whatever comes stock to include the system image and recovery image I would be ecstatic. If someone could help me with step by step instructions to make this happen I would be extremely appreciative.

EDIT: The top of the screen says in red: FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG

There's currently no way to flash back to stock recovery, but it will come in time.

When you're in Clockwork recovery and select reboot system it ends up back in Clockwork?

What if you power off the phone, then hold up volume rocker and turn on power, then once in fastboot select reboot? What happens then?

[General Questions and Answers] flymacs:
You can use an unlocked HD2 on AT&T, but you won't have 3g. AT&T uses a different frequency for their 3g.

Most of the android builds I've tried work great. You will have to flash HardSPL onto your phone and flash on a new Android-friendly Windows Mobile ROM. Check out the ROM Development under the HD2 forum. There are several tutorials on how to do all this.
[General Questions and Answers] dïnnïra:
Currently there is no permanent ported android build yet as in nand.

The android its either running in your SD card or RAM.

With HTC HD2 you have dual boot to Winmo & Android.

Depending on Winmo ROM & Radio & Android build will get stability.

So you can try diff ROMs & build to test out.
