[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Are you sure you still have root ? Was it an official RUU you flashed ? Because all official RUUs will not have root (though you may be able to re-root, depending on the exact version).

A stock RUU/ROM will install a new hboot, and if you only had S-OFF via the eng hboot, you will lose that. Which is why everyone with S-OFF should make sure they have it via gfree.

What version of ROM are you running right now ?

This shouldn't be a new thread though, should be in an existing thread or in the Q&A forum ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
Thank you for your words! I flashed the RUU and found my rom is kept, just the radio downgraded and s-on...

I'm using the Q'N'D-miui rom...

Now I've tried to install new rom and I managed to install the CM6.1.1 tough the S-ON is still there, doesn't it mean I got the root? I the os I can find the superuser work correctly.

Sorry that I cannot find any similar situation in the forum and I'm new here...So I thought it can be a new thread :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
you might beable to just flash the spl by completing the last couple of steps ion the original g2 root process. don't quote me on this though, cuz i really don't know what i'm saying.

5. Open up terminal, type in "su" then press enter. Then without exiting type in "insmod /sdcard/wpthis-[YOURVERSION].ko" and press enter. Make sure you use the proper version of wpthis that applies to you. If you got the proper message type in "dd if=/sdcard/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18". Do not exit terminal in this step at all.

6. Exit terminal and run visionary again to make sure you're rooted.

7. Go back into terminal and type "su" then press enter, then type "sync". Wait about 10 seconds then pull the battery out.

8. Boot into recovery by holding volume down + power off until it comes up.

If it says S-OFF, you're rooted! Good job! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
I'm confused@@ cuz I'm now using the miui rom not the origin one, which version of wpthis.ko is suitable for me?? Seems that just a mistake on it can bring me a brick...

I'm kinda confused what state your phone is in. Because if you are S-ON you wouldn't be able to flash any custom ROMs at all.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master.peterm:
actually you might be able to skip the first step and just flash the spl

type in "dd if=/sdcard/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18". Do not exit terminal in this step at all.

6. Exit terminal and run visionary again to make sure you're rooted.

7. Go back into terminal and type "su" then press enter, then type "sync". Wait about 10 seconds then pull the battery out.

8. Boot into recovery by holding volume down + power off until it comes up.

If it says S-OFF, you're rooted! Good job!

....... if you have access to clockwork, someone could compile an update.zip to replace the spl......

but I'm a noob don't go on my opinion alone...... ask someone responsible for g2root to compile an update.zip for the spl IF you have access to clockwork recovery...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
Yes now its s-on and still can be flashed!!

I've never heard before...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
to master.peterm:

Now my rom has root... and I've tried the similar way as you said, but when I do the step it seems ok however it doesnt work as I went back into hboot it is still s-on...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanCubano:
I'm very much confused at this point. I know on the mt3gs, they could flash roms with s-on (but, with an eng hboot with test keys and cwm), but doesn't our RUU's all come with official hboots?

I'm not sure if once you're in cwm if it can bypass sig verifications though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
to PanCubano:

That's why I thought I should start a new thread... So strange which conflicts with the conclusion before.

s-on means the system permit no third-party flash right?? As I saw it, it's not right on my phone....backups and new cm rom can be flashed normally but seems that radio cannot be flashed..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanCubano:
And which method of rooting did you use before? Im assuming the rage method with the hacked eng hboot?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
to PanCubano:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965

just the usual root method...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanCubano:
First, confirm that you legitimately have root. Download terminal emulator off the market. Open it, type su and hit enter. Superuser should prompt you for permissions. Hit allow and you should see your symbol go from $ to #

If yes, start the rooting method you did from step 2. If that's not the case above, start from step 1.

Since you already were able to sucessfully root the first time around, I still "strongly" suggest you always re-read every step (especially when you get to the dd commands)

Once you finish and can sucessfully confirm S-OFF via rebooting into hboot, come back here and follow the gfree method.

Do not skip out on doing the gfree method. Just because you were able to get s-off again (if you could) it doesn't mean you're done.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashermaster:
Finally I use the unpermroot method to restore the phone into stock state and do the gfree instead to s-off and simunlock the phone...

Thank you all above!! Though there is still no actual explanation of this.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailgate11:
i have a sclc dinc that i cant get to clock past 998mhz. i have tried alot of diff kernals and roms to c if that would help. on my old dinc i never had a problem finding one that would work.. im currently running the new gingerbread rom and i went to c if i could go over the 998 and it bootlooped on me.. so couldnt get it on this rom either.. ive tried KK, Hydra, and a few others and nothing will get over 998. anyone else had this issue or have a solution? thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
All cpus behave differently and the only guarantee is that it should be stable at 998. As there's no defect, there is unfortunately no solution. As crappy as it sounds, your phone is operating within its design parameters.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
It is also possible that the ROM you're using isn't compatible with those kernals enough to allow it to overclock without bootlooping. Try it with Skyraider, Myn's, or Virtuous (just to name 3 I've used and overclocked) to see if you get the same results.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailgate11:
I have tried different roms with different kernals. Cm6, SR, etc... and still have same results with trying different kernals. I never had a prob with my old dinc but seems to b every thing I try on this one
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rev12:
I have two Mytouch 4G's (mine and my wife's) both running Android 2.2.1 with facebook app 1.5. neither of the devices are able to sync contacts from facebook to the device. (Not using mytouch facebook app) I have done a hard reset on the devices, installed and uninstalled the app several times with no change. Anyone else have this issue? (also it will not display in the settings accounts & syncs - when I go to add account nothing happens) Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Sounds like the only option is to use FB for MyTouch to sync with contacts and regular app for everything else. That's what it was last time I was running stock rom.

I hope you are not right. As I have seen it working on other MYT 4G's. But if I have to that will work. Not the best solution.

Hi,

Now that NAND is released, i think it is really urgent to add a new sub-forum for NAND Only Android Builds, cuz it is very confusing now, it will be a total chaos with Super Ram Builds, SD Card Builds and NAND Builds all in the same sub-forum...

[HD2 General] bistort:
not to sound stupid or dumb but what exactly is a NAND Rom and what does it do ? I am still fairly new at this so please be easy with me.
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
NAND roms are android roms which you install onto the phones internal memory making it a primary android device. Windows mobile is completly removed.

SD Roms are android builds which run of the SD card. Windows mobile is required to boot it. Battery life is quite low as the sd card is always being accsessed.

SUPER RAM roms are similer to the SD roms but instead of running from the SD card it copies the android files to the phones ram memory. This does not kill your battery.

With the Super ram and SD builds, you can return back to windows mobile after a reset.
[HD2 General] meptik:
I'm extremely confused as to how anyone could find this confusing.

No need for more subforums.

Also,

search before creating a new thread

. This one adds nothing that hasn't been already said in similar threads that were posted in the last few days. Having many different threads on the exact same subject makes information difficult to find.

Annoying issue's i've found no i've had a chance to play with it ...

- When you delete a photo it doesn't delete it from the main gallery

- No upload/share options
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Actually it does both.

1. The main Gallery app doesn't see the change, I have a widget on my desktop that's "reload media" and it forces the phone to re-read media on the "sd" card, so when I go back to the gallery, it will "see" that it's gone. You can normally do it by force closing the Gallery app or relaunching it a couple times for it to see changes.

2. tap and hold a picture, or while viewing a picture press menu, then select SEND PHOTO, then it'll open up the "Share" menu.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoms04:
Ok thanks.

Ahh i see ... thats why in the main gallery when i choose the photo that should have deleted it's blurry.. because the main gallery app has just stored/zoomed in on the thumbnail
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:

Go to the market and download Launcher Pro. It's free and will kill the 3d drawer and revert back to the old school 2d instead. There are a few other benefits to using Launcher Pro. Hope this helped!!

Ultra Keyboard is not on the Market when viewed from the Nook Color (only the "dictionaries" are).

So I went on my phone and used Root Explorer to grab the apk from data\app.

I pasted it into system\app on my Nook Color and changed the permissions (rw-r--r--).

After a reboot, I can select Ultra Keyboard from the Nook Color Tools app, but going into any text field, the keyboard never appears.

What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone else gotten Ultra Keyboard to work?

[Nook Color General] notinterested:
Does that keyboard app support the resolution of the NC?
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Another thing to try is to copy system/app/LatinIME.apk to your sd card, then change Ultra keyboard's name to system/app/LatinIME.apk. Reboot.

Might not make a difference, but worth a try. If you end up with no keyboard, just move your backup back where it was.

[Nook Color General] Sunrisemix:
I was actually just able to get it to work by copying the .apk into system/app with full permissions and then installing it from there. Didn't have to mess with LatinIME.apk and can switch back and forth easily.

Though I am having a problem when changing layouts and the row of keys with the spacebar/menu buttons disappearing.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Does it have arrow keys?
[Nook Color General] ictguy78:
I'd love to know if you figure out the spacebar and menu buttons disappearing for the thumbs keyboard.

Edit: So I figured out that you can use Titanium Backup to wipe data and that resets the keyboard back to the large phone setting that allows spacebar and menu access. I cannot get any of the tablet keyboard options to work. None have the menu or spacebar option. I wanted the Thumbs keyboard because of the arrows. Unfortunately I can only find the arrows in the large phone keyboard which has a really weird layout. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it!
[Nook Color General] Sunrisemix:
I actually emailed the developer and they said they were working on sending out updates in the coming weeks and are aware of the problems with the tablet layout. He suggested deleting the XML file in the folder /data/data/com.beansoft.keyboardplus/shared-preferences and reboot the nook, to reset the keyboard. But using titanium backup might be quicker.
[Nook Color General] mmarsman:
Sadly it does not have arrows.
[Nook Color General] jsmith8858:
SmartKeyboard Pro (it is not free, sadly) is excellent. Works perfect, configurable, has arrow keys, gestures, you can turn off full-screen mode in landscape so you can still see the screen, lots of skins, and easy to get to and change keyboard settings right from the keyboard itself. I think it's well worth it.

I installed from the market, copied the APK to the system/app directory, rebooted, selected it, and it is working great.
[Nook Color General] ictguy78:
Thanks for the info. Titanium Backup is definitely quicker to wipe data and reset the keyboard. Sounds like the dev is pretty responsive. Overall I like Thumbs keyboard...hopefully they can get some of the tablet issues fixed. -Matt

[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
How is SmartKeyboard better than the stock Gingerbread keyboard?
[Nook Color General] colorado_al:
You can click through to arrow buttons, keyboard calibration, skinning, customizable with persistent .com button, more options for characters in # display, also more languages

Install as stated above. After choosing as keyboard, go into a text field where the keyboard pops up and hold the "123" key to get into the settings.

Very configurable!
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Damnit. I'm a big Swiftkey proponent but I'm totally digging SmartKey. It's REALLY fast, actually multitouch, and the predictions seem as good as Swiftkey. It doesn't have the "guess the next word' but honestly I don't use that much, or not enough to offset the other things.

You're right, Smartkey is really configurable. Space after a suggestion picked? Swap space and punctuation? Go from transparent to opaque? Lots of skins to choose from? I'll be buying this soon. going to try it on my Nexus One as well.
[Nook Color General] raybird:
Hi Guys, I finally found a thread about needing arrow keys on a rooted ColorNook. Thanks for sharing all your discoveries. Sorry for my basic question here (hope it's not too far off-topic)...

I've installed SwiftKey and SmartKeyboard and neither are functional. When I long-click on an input box, I don't get an input option selection. When I select "settings", there's a Keyboard select line, but it only flashes back to the home screen when pressed. I'm missing something basic here, I guess.

Should my rooted nook have the standard android "language & keyboard" option under settings to enable these new keyboards? I'm only seeing the original B&N settings page for some odd reason.

FYI, I'm running Zeam launcher and rooted with AutoNooter. Duh, what's going on here? Sure would love some arrow keys. Thanks --Ray

[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Replace_the_Default_Keyboard

Read the wiki. At a high level you must install the keyboard, move it to /system/app and reboot. Then you use Nook Color Tools to select the keyboard.

As for the config not working, typically if you try the launcher for keyboards they lead you to the standard Keyboard Settings; which doesn't exist. However both Swiftkey and Smart Keyboard have settings directly on the keyboard, so switch to them then you can configure them.
