Sounds like ftf file is not in the right format, or you put the ftf somewhere other than firmware folder. Heard some people saying that some of the links download a zip file. If it's a zip file rename it ftf, or if you have more than one flash tool saved on your computer, did you accidentally put it and older flash tool/firmware folder?
[XPERIA X10 General] bumhole:
ok i just redownload the ftf file, and can see the file now.

thanks, i managed to install DT, but now trying to make it work for every apps.

is there any other free programs like Root explorer? or do i really need to buy the app to make dual touch work on every app:

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Root Explorer is the most useful app on my phone, and if you like to play with your phone it is well worth it. However, you can do it for free with adb commands. You need SDK set up on your computer, or use the app terminal emulator. I suggest using terminal emulator, because setting up SDK TOOLS can be pretty involved if you've never done anything like this before. For the correct commands, check My_immortal's guide to making dualtouch work on stock apps in the development section. It's in the middle of the thread somewhere. My advice, if time is money to you, spend the 2 bucks on Root Explorer and support the developers. You'll use it all the time with a rooted phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] bumhole:
thanks for the reply, i spent like 1-2 days trying to get it to work and cant find any free apps, tried some but doesnt work. i end up buying root exlorer and its damn so easy to copy files across and set the permissions where as other apps give me a big headache.

i dont no wats adb, but i think in future i will use the app again when there is more good stuff like dual touch and i need to copy files and set permission.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
You can also use it to uninstall system apps that you don't use but are eating up all your RAM and space, like Timescape, SE sync, SE backup & restore. Chinese keyboard, moxier, play now. Another useful app you should get is titanium backup (free version in the market). Then get xRecovery and enable JIT, and watch your X10 fly. There are all kinds of things you can do now that you're rooted. Search xda Xperia forum for guides for noobs.
[XPERIA X10 General] V1rus9r:
So i must have payed version of Explorer root for give permisson for xandroid.multitocch file? or what? cause i've come so far that i got flah it in flash mod from phone.. and nothing happen!
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
No need to start new threads when there is already numerous threads on the subject already.
[XPERIA X10 General] bumhole:
i suggest u buy the root explorer app to copy the file to /system/etc/permission and change the attributes. if u want a free app, gl cos i tried ages and cant find one. i spent like 2days and no luck, u buy the apps, u will get the job done in 1min LOL.

agent,

what is xrecovery for? i dont understand. i search it but it just shows you how u do it, but doesnt say what it is used for and wats good about it.

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
...........
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I don't know what "i got flah it in flash mod from phone.. and nothing happen!" means.

As for root explorer, I thought I clearly stated the options. What part did you not understand?
[XPERIA X10 General] bumhole:
XperiaUser,

Yes i searched that post before and read it but still dont no y u need it for? sry if im a noob. like what does it do?

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
No offense to XperiaX10iUser because he is basically one of the Godfathers of xda Xperia forum, but the xRecovery explanation he sited may sound Greek or scare off a noob. It did for me, however I've learned that you don't have to understand everything first in order to use it. I think of it like this... xRecovery is a noobs best friend, that will allow you to do most of the cool things on xda, and enabling JIT is your X10's best friend. Basically xRecovery allows you to select from a menu a lot of the things you used to need your computer and a lot of know-how to do. It's a lot like a drop down menu you use on Windows. Click on the option and it does the work for you. No need to know everything it does, as each time you use it you will learn more about it.

I don't technically understand JIT, but enabling JIT in simple terms does something with how you phone uses your sdcard and RAM. It speeds up the visual component, so the screen reacts smoothly. For one thing, when you scroll through your app tray it does not tick or lag.

I'm on my phone so I can't provide a link.

You can also improve performance and battery life by using root explorer or titanium backup to uninstall unused or heavy resource using system apps. I have removed Timescape, Play Now, SE sync, SE backup & restore, moxier mall, Chinese & Korean keyboards, PC Companion, Social Networking Service, Face Recognition, and more. Timescape is the big one if you are not using it. Search this forum for a full list of safe apps to remove.

I was thinking of rooting my p500 and wanted to know if there is a way to completely bring the phone back to stock so that the guys at LG dont know that I had rooted it earlier if I ever have to send it back for repair or something.

Can It be done by just flashing the nandroid backup from custom recovery and then unroot via z4root?

Please help guys i am a noob in android
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Yes, KDZ Flasher, but I don't recommend using it. It does work, but there have been reports of people bricking their phones because of this.

And oh, it restores everything including the stock recovery.

You still have the custom recovery. They might find that out :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] KaKkaR0T:
So basically there aint no way I can remove the custom recovery other than the KDZ flasher?

And is this the only way to return the phone into stock condition?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Something like that.

When a phone is simply rooted with super one click, and it's unrooted later and if i do a factory reset via phone than the root won't be noticable anymore, right?

I mean if i didn't use custom recovery just root via super one click.

So basically the guys at LG/ the guys who repair my phone, won't be able to notice my phone was once rooted.

And when the phone was once rooted but they don't know it was they will still repair it, right?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MAXT3R88:

it was rooted with z4root & tried installing custom recovery & tried flashing a new stock rom using KDZ ...

Dude i did all the steps u mentioned ...However i have one more trick up my sleeve....

Before i installed "Custom Recovery" i created a backup copy of my LG's recovery ...SO in case i have to return my phone for warranty claim..I will restore my nandroid backup first and then erase that custom recovery and replace it with LG's recovery that i backed up and also i will unroot using Z4root...I wud prefer this than flashing using KDZ..

how to create a backup of the original LG's recovery?? sorry but i am a noobie.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
It is possible- but why?

If you are thinking about "flashing it all back" to "original LG firmware" for "service reasons" then you must use kdz flasher anyway.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
KDZ only bricks the phone if u flash the wrong KDZ.. be careful.. I've flashed 5 KDZ's so far with no problems
[Optimus One, P500, V General] evripidis:
I'm a noob too and I read a lot for all this stuff here.

I have rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.

I want to install and the custom recovery.

But with KDZ and the flasing of original LG ROM does the custom recovery go away?

With kdz flasher you can get the "out of the box" experience ;)

Hello,

I have a Streak with the 318/12821 build. It's rooted and has busybox installed, but I am not able to move many of my apps to the SD card. I have an Aria in which I am able to move all of the downloaded apps to the SD card, but on this Streak, it is still very limited. More apps have the move to SD button grayed out than allow it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
Unless I'm mistaken, it's actually something that needs to be enabled by the App developer. You can't (again, unless I'm mistaken) forcefully move any app to the SD card unless it's been coded to allow it.

The Apps2SD feature is relatively new so not all apps have been re-coded to enable it.

Personally, I don't understand why people want to move their apps to SD card. Unless you fill up your apps list with loads of crap, there should be plenty of room on the device memory! Think of it this way, if you want to swap memory cards (for whatever reason) then all your apps that you have put on the SD card will not function.

Then there's the fact that most SD cards are slower than the internal memory, and that any widgets will not function if moved to SD etc...

Actually not all of the phones carry a lot of memory. The more expensive the phone the more memory you receive. Thanks for your advice, though. I had the same question as the other person.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Using the apps2sd that is 'built in' yu can't move everything to the sd card, each app dev can choose to enable or disable allowing this and for some apps it is not recommended (apps with widgets for example) because if the SD Card is removed the app won't work properly.

Your Aria was probably running a modified version of apps2sd which, if I understand correctly, creates a partition on the SD Card to be used for apps. This works differently than the apps2sd that is native to Android.

Can somebody point me to the proper odin download with instructions for use??

Other than that I am good to go and will start the process over once I am back to stock. This site is UNBELIEVABLE!

THANKS!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ

download this, it's Odin3

After it's downloaded make sure you have the samsung drivers installed and follow these steps

1. make sure your phone is NOT connected to the compter.

2. Remove your battery, sd card and sim card

3. Open odin

4. Put battery back in and hold the two volume buttons down but not the power button.

5. Plug in your captivate

6. A box in odin should turn yellow, then click start

7. let it do its magic and DONT unplug.

After you returned to stock and Odin finished, just power off, put your sim and sd card back in and then power up and put whatever rom (make sure its a .zip) you want on your internal sd then power off again and then reboot holding down the three combo buttons and you should go to the clockwork recovery screen, select reinstall packages, it should go to an at&t screen, it will get back to the clockwork screen, press reinstall packages and then you should get to a green menu, press install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and then let it load and boom. your done!! let the boot up animation have 5-10 minutes to start up! Enjoy and welcome to the site!

install zip from sd card
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
ignore the install zip at the bottom haha i dont know how that got there, and make sure to choose the zip after you press the button choose zip from sd card, just wanted to mkae it more clear.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethjamto:
Thanks! And this will put the stock AT&T ROM back on? From there, I am good to go and know that I have to start all over like I did the other day with root, clockwork, etc.

You DA MAN!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Thanks. Yes, it will put you back to stock and you don't even need to root again or install clockwork, its already there! Just follow the steps below the numbered steps and you should just be able to just install the rom and be done. You should read into and invest into titanium backup to make sure if something goes wrong you have all your stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] elject:
Hi,

Right now i am learning programming, I am interested joining hero ROM development. Are there any short tutorials that I could use or something that would help me to start with.

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch General] codeazure:
There's quite a lot of foundations to build before you will start to see anything above ground level :-)

Cyanogenmod is the foundation of most ROMs. Their Wiki is a good place to start. They have a lot of tutorials on setting up. For example, look for:

Overview_of_Modding

Howto Install_the_Android_SDK

Building_from_source

Howto Install_Kernels

These pages will give you an overview.

In terms of the programming side, this requires a lot of experience. It will take some time for you to be able to make major contributions.

But having said that, once you have a decent knowledge of C and some understanding of kernel source structure, you can read the source. Look at what others have done and try to understand what is going on.

Get hold of a recent book on kernel programming, such as

Linux Kernel in a Nutshell (Greg Kroah-Hartman - O'Reilly)

Linux Kernel Development (Robert Love)

These are not beginners books, but they do get into the subject at a reasonable pace once you have enough knowledge to start. I think anyone serious about doing kernel work is going to have to learn this sort of stuff to really understand what they're tinkering with.

I don't want to discourage you. Just don't underestimate the size of the task. As a beginner, the best contribution you can make is as a tester. Learn the issue tracker system, make a name submitting clear bug reports. This is not glamorous, but essential for a ROM project.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] riemervdzee:
I found this book very interesting:

Linux Device Drivers

http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/

And thanks codeazure, I'll check those two out as well :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] elject:
Thanks for good explanation :) Yap I know it's hard to start since I am beginner. But because I have lot of time and Have "HTC Hero" I think I'll go for it...

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxxa:
Hello people,

After finally getting a replacement dell streak i.e. 3 months of complaining. I want to flash it and I want a smooth process. So after looking around I’ve put together everything I have to do. I would like to know if what I’m doing is right. Important Notes: I am using Windows 7 64BIT… I am flashing DJ_Steve’s 1.6.1 Rom. I am currently on stock Froyo. My build number is 12821. For now baseband version is unknown (Can’t check untill I find charger). So this my plan to take list of steps-

1.	Install Fastboot via-

Download Dell PC Suite and install it.

Download Fastboot.exe

Remove and replace the battery.

Power the device on while holding the camera button

It will show a screen that says ‗Touch Calibration‘ and ‗Fastboot‘. Tap fastboot.

Learn to use Fastboot on CMD

2.	Root

Download SuperOneClick 1.5.5

Extract SuperOneClick on my hard drive

Put my Streak in USB debugging mode: Settings>Applications>Development>turn on USB Debugging

Plug my Streak into the computer – I will not mount the SD card

Right click on SuperOneClick.exe and run as administrator

Click "Root" and watch the progress and follow instructions.

3.	Install Streakmod Recovery

Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.

Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu

At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu

4.	Install Rom (Streak Droid 1.6.1)

Download Update-1.6.1.zip

Place Zip file into Root of SD Card

Make a text file and type in the options

Save file under SDCard>install.txt

Boot into StreakMod

Select Update from Zip File > Select Zip File From SD Card > StreakDroid_1-6.Zip

Wait for installation.

FINISH

These are steps I will take are they right?

Will I need to reroot after Rom has been installed?

Thank you for your time your help is appreachated!! :D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I believe that 1.61 is pre-rooted.

If you have problems getting root with SuperOneClick remove your SD Card and try it.

You don't need the entire PC Suite, just the drivers. See this page at Dell.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxxa:
Thanks for response thats helped a lot also I am mainly concerned about the recovery and installing the ROM is even worth it? Also the fact I'm running 64Bit scares me (in case its not supported)!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxxa:
Just saying but I think a multipurpose guide on how to install Roms needs to be made. There is already a good one but it is outdated and doesn't cover questions like- Can i update straight from stock froyo to Streakdroid 1.6.1? It the guide the same for White Streak? Does 64Bit work with Rooting/Fastboot? I would write but I don't have experience. Does any one think the same?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rptw:
yes it would be nice if someone did that but it would also be nice for people to use the search function as all these topics have been covered somewhere on these forums
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I took the plunge yesterday and installed the 1.6.1 version of DJ_Steve's Streakdroid rom.

It's only been 12 hours but the phone is noticeably faster and so far everything works that worked on the stock 315 and 318 builds.

All of the info you need to flash is available. Some of the threads are quite long and do get noisy with too many unrelated posts and I wish that users would click the thank you button instead of adding an unneeded post to long threads. The StreakDroid guides are very helpful.

I did a lot of reading and took notes (copy and paste to text document) about the problems others had and the solutions that worked. I was fortunate that I did not have the issues others faced.

I would recommend that you think out the options you want carefully and keep them to a minimum, do a factory reset from recovery mode before starting to upgrade, and wipe the cache from the recovery after getting StreakMod recovery installed before installing the ROM. The factory reset and cache wipe seemed to fix most of the problems people had with the install, so I did them preemptively and things went very smooth.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal212:
In step 4 when you're installing the rom you don't have to save the options file as a .txt file..

That's only as long as you're entering your options.. After you're done making the text file with your options in it you change the file to install.cfg and place it on the root of your sd card
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
From Streakdroid's page with the 1.6.1 install instructions:

Of course later in the page it states:

But I do think that for 1.6.1 it's install.txt. I have posted this in the 1.6.1 release thread so hopefully the instructions get clarified.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal212:
Is it better to first flash 1.5.1 with the amss, do a factory reset and then flash the 1.6.1 without amss?
