Nice One Thanks will this work with an out of the box galaxy s or does it need to have something else done to it??? thanks
EDIT: Im suprised theres not so many people like amazed cuz this is great
EDIT2: Thought i put the links on to this forum might help to put them in 1st post update.zip and Superuser_v1_CSC.7z
EDIT3 lol : Do we need to mod the kernal to overclock or canwe now jus over clock it if so to what sppeds ??

yes...just out the box, I used

Qustion,
If i rooted my phone and want to go back to the original FW or i missed something and never worked and want to reflash my phone again with the untouched FW, Is it okay? or my phone will be bricked as a result of bad rooting?!
need to know that.

Thank you!

Please help me
I am ok with computers but very n00b to smartphones.
I downloaded SDK, enabled USB debugging, in CMD my serial came up so that was all ok.
I put the update.zip on the sd card of the phone and turned on the phone with vol down + home key expecting it to let me choose the update.zip but I got a yellow android triangle screen with the android bot icon using a spade and underneath it says
"downloading.....
Do not turn off target!!!"
What have I missed?
Thanks in advance

Did you enable USB debugging on the S? It's off the Settings|Applications|Development menu.
In the CMD shell, did you go to the android-sdk-windows\tools directory and run 'adb reboot recovery' with the USB lead connected?

Thankyou
I did it, I didn't put in the command shell, I rebooted it thinking the vol down + home would bring me into the recovery screen
How do I confirm it worked? It looked like it was doing stuff.. *edit I found the superuser app*

Wow sounds great! Custom recovery anyone!? Just got back from romania, nice little treat!

Hi,
i'm new to this..I have a I9000 and maybe I wan't to root it.
But I have some questions first and i I hope anybody can help me.
1) Can you go back to the stock settings ?
2) Do you still have your warranty?
3) Can you put a costum ROM on it? Example: Can you use the ROM they use on a nexus one?
4) What can you do more when u are a superuser?
Thnx

worked perfectly (first method) fast and simple
I have root now
can't wait for custom recovery.

the busybox in here was not very good had to let titanium backup update to its version of busy box.

If you want the full featured busybox, why not taking this one?

removing apps..
can someone help me out please, i cant seem to find a way to remove apps that are already installed from samsung...

Do you have already root? Then you should open your command line where your adb binary lies in and type the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls
and identify the packages which you don't need and remove them by typing:
Code:
rm PACKAGENAME.apk
rm PACKAGENAME.odex

[CWMR ZIP] ICS Keyboard backlight fix

First off, I can't take credit for this. ninthsense and etherfish discovered the missing information in the ICS files. There are missing permissions for the keyboard backlight in the boot image, and the actual file that controls lights, /system/lib/hw/lights.n1.so is missing some stuff.
This also fixes force-close related freezes by setting the default.prop to insecure and debuggable.

Now with CWM goodness!
DOWNLOAD LH2 file for official ICS RELEASE

Awesome!

does not work for me...

Worked perfect here, that fixes my only serious issue with the ICS rom.

I'm glad i was of some help . My first significant contribution to android. Will have to get back home to test it.

does not work for me either. used Root Explorer to take the "lights.n1.so" file from download and overwrote it at /system/lib/hw/lights.n1.so, and rebooted several times, and still got nothing

Overwriting the file won't work in my opinion. As these files are part of the boot.img and resides inside the ramdisk. So even if you change something in the ramdisk and then reboot you'll return to the original version.
I guess the only way is to flash the boot.img with the files inbuilt in to the ramdisk. So the boot.img posted by "Nardholio" should work.

Mhh just copying the .so file does not work for me to, even after wiping the caches.
I'm going to try this boot.img thing later this day.

There are missing permissions for the keyboard backlight in the boot image, and the actual file that controls lights, /system/lib/hw/lights.n1.so is missing some stuff. To fix it, just copy the version from Gingerbread over the ICS version and reboot. Note this requires root. The attached post contains the file you need and an optional boot.img mod that will fix force-close related freezes and will enable the keyboard light to be controlled by third party utilities.

Didn't work for me at first either after I copied and pasted it. But when I went through and opened up a Terminal on my phone to install everything (I always thought I had to use Ubuntu on my computer for it. I don't know why I never even thought of using a Terminal on my phone to do editing on it and all...) and went through the steps on the link (didn't clear my cache), and it all works. Just a heads up for anyone who might be as slow as I was

Both files are required then I guess. Thanks for letting me know.

goodluck!

Can anyone help me with this via step by step?

I could use a little help as well

Yea, i could use some help too, after re-writing over the existing file didn't work

OK guys here is the step by step guide :
I'm assuming that you're rooted and are on windows PC :
1. Install root explorer or root browser lite (free) from market. And copy the boot.img and lights.n1.so from keyboard_fix.rar in root of your sdcard(phone).
2. Launch the root explorer and Delete the existing lights.n1.so file from /system/lib/hw (probably you can keep a copy somewhere)
3. Copy the lights.n1.so from your sdcard directory to /system/lib/hw
3. Make sure that the file is presen/copiedt in the directory.
4. Download fastboot.zip file attached to the post and extract it in one of your directory on the pc.
5. Connect your phone through a usb cable and i'm assuming you've the usb drivers for your phone already installed on your pc.
6. Goto command prompt and change to the directory you extracted the zip file into.
7. issue the command "adb shell"
8. You should get a android prompt. Issue the command "su"
9. Issue cd sdcard and then issue "ls". Just to make sure that the boot.img is there.
10. Now issue the following commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
11. Reboot and you should get your lights.

Copying the boot.img worked for me
For those who having trouble, look at the Link, posted in the OP
How I did it:
Copy files to sdcard: Use a network enabled file manager or email or drop box (or, or, or) to get boot.img and lights.n1.so to /sdcard
Setup ADB: Google "xda setup adb"
Boot into CWMR: Reboot phone, holding power down (Link: Get CWMR)
Choose in CWMR:
Mounts > Mount sdcard
Mounts > Mound system
Execute Commands on pc
Open Shell/Cmd
Type: adb shell
Type: ls
you should geht a file listening of your root file system
Type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Type: dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Type: cp /sdcard/lights.n1.so /system/lib/hw/lights.n1.so
Choose in CWMR:
Wipe Cache
Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot system
That was the steps as I remember, no guarantee don't brick your device if you do: use one-click-ics-leak-tool and start from scratch

You are welcome. I also did it just before posting the steps and glad that the biggest bug for the leaked ROM is now fixed.
I see that the lights go off very quickly unless you keep pressing something. It's related to "Touch Key Light Duration" under "display" in the settings. But i see only 1.5 seconds which is set currently and 6 seconds. If i change to 6 it's too much.
Does somebody know how to modify this value according to whatever we need ?

Hello ninthsense,
perfect tutorial, keyboard light is working now.
Thanks,

Hummm is their gonna b a flashable zip for this ?

Bricked my phone after LCD Density Modder

Hi, First I'm not a clever man, nor do I know what I did to brick it but, I used
"LCD Density Modder" on the market and bricked my phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi&hl=en
My phone is bricked, it won't load anything past "Google", I've taken out the battery and put it back in MULTIPLE times, I've tried to reboot into Recovery Mode and get a red Triangle with an error.
I'm on 4.1.1 GSM model, Rooted and Stock ROM.
Is there anyway to fix this issue without completely wiping out my phone? The last backup I did was a week ago by hand, with click and drag.
Thanks for any help, I would appreciate it.

That's not bricking. And the red android is the stock recovery. Your going to need to flash a recovery and flash another ROM.
Sent From My Toro+ via White Tapatalk

First off, your device is not bricked. Bricked means it is irreparable.
Second, all you have to do is get a hold of the stock build.prop file for your ROM build and replace what you currently have with it.

I'm asking because I can't transfer files via USB to my Galaxy Nexus, nor does my computer detect it.

Download CWM, rename it to cwm.img and place it in the same directory as your fastboot.exe file on your PC
Boot your device into the bootloader
Type: fastboot boot cwm.img
In the CWM menu on your device, navigate the mounts menu and click mount /system
Type: adb pull /system/build.prop
Open it up in a text editor, change the value in the ro.sf.lcd_density to 320 and save it.
Type: adb push build.prop /system/
Type: adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
Type: adb reboot

Ignore the post I just made,
I found it manually, and rebooted the phone but it's still black screen when I pushe d it to the phone.
"build.prop /system/" sounds wrong though...but I am still shocked I was able to pull it.

I hate double bumping but "efrant" instructions, I pushed it via your manner, which still boots into the black screen via build.prop /system" and it goes to black screen...and I tried pushing to "/system/build.prop" still doesn't work.
Any assistance?

So what did you do exactly? Did you pull the file from your ROM first, modify it, and then push it back?

So, I'm not using ADB kit, I'm using Galaxy Nexus Tookit v 7.4. I pull it through there, and modify it from 241 to 320 by hand. Save the file. Push it back up using the toolkit, and it's not sticking to the ROM.
I push it up, reboot, and check it by re-pulling it making sure it stucks but I keep seeing the 241 density not the corrected 320.
Should, I be pushing to /system/build.prop or "build.prop /system/" ?
Both methods aren't sticking to /system/build.prop

I don't provide support for toolkit use. Either do it the way I mentioned or ask in the toolkit thread for support if you want to use a toolkit.

It's to do with the permissions that get set on the file when you push it back to the device. it needs to be read only for the group and world
It baffled me for a good while. After pushing the file, do the following.
Code:
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
Hope that helps

I had a feeling it was a permissions issue, but wasn't sure how to fix it.
I'll start pulling up the command prompts...wish me luck, thanks for all the help so far guys. I'll do two backup a week from now on, instead of weekly.

Finally got adb in cmd setup, I get a "failed to copy 'build.prop' to '/system/build.prop': Read-Only file system
I'll try it again, I'm pretty sure I forgot a step.

Did you change the permissions like trevd suggested?
While booted in CWM with /system mounted:
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
If that still doesn't work after a reboot, I suggest you re-flash grab the system image for 4.1.1 from Google's site, extract the system.img, reboot your device into the bootloader, and type: fastboot flash system system.img. It won't wipe your device, but it should fix anything that was messed up. (It will also remove root and busybox and whatever else you have installed on the system partition.
)

FINALLY! SUCCESS! I forgot the permission like you mentioned, but it didn't work the first two times, guess I mistyped something, it worked the third time.
I honestly appreciate all the help, and all the inputs. My phone is at 100%, and I'm doing a backup as we speak now.

[TUTORIAL]All you need to know to flash a ROM on LG-P350

Hi guys, this is my second tutorial and in this one I will show you every thing you need to do to flash a custom ROM on the LG-P350. So let's get started.
DISCLAIMER: This is tampering with the system itself and if done incorrectly a simple factory reset will not fix it. It is YOU who is doing this on your phone and I am in no way responsible if any damage happens to your device. (tough it shouldn't if you follow these steps carefully) You have been warned!
WHAT WE NEED :
1.An LG-P350 running stock Froyo
2.LG mobile united drivers, get them from here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7Faau7Enf-Bc1hhbWRtTkczNEE/edit?usp=sharing
3.A PC running Windows (can be done on linux too but this guide is based on Windows)
4.A microUSB data cable.
5.The official Android SDK obtained from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Make sure you select the version for your OS (32-bit or 64-bit)
6.USB debugging to be on. Go to Settings>Apps>Development>Turn on USB debugging
7.ADB to be properly set up.
8.Patience to read this thread carefully
1. Root
Ok so what is root? Well simply said rooting gives us the permission to modify parts of the Android system itself. Normally when you try to tamper with it it would simply say that either you don't have the privilege to do so or it would fail. When we have root permissions then you can change anything you want.
Note: Be careful tough, removing or modifying some parts of the system can damage the system and prevent it from working/booting. Always make a nandroid backup (will talk about this later) before editing anything in the system.
Now for the rooting itself.
Most versions of the software for the P-350 can be rooted using gingerbreak, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 Get the newest version, copy it and install it on your phone and follow the instructions on screen.
For those who prefer some other root method you can also use z4root which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 or superoneclick which can be obtained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (For superoneclick you need the USB cable and drivers installed)
2.ADB
Ok so what is ADB? ADB is a short term for Android Debug Bridge. It is one the most essential tools in the Android world and is used for a number of things such as sending commands (which can do anything you imagine with the device), getting various log data etc.
To set it up you will have to get the latest version of the official Android SDK (look for the link in the Introduction). Once you've downloaded the sdk you will get a .zip file you need to extract. I extracted mine to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\ (so this guide is based on that) but it can really be anywhere. If you decide to put a different directory then adapt the guide to it. Once extracted you will get two folders. Here we only use the sdk one, the other one is for the Eclipse plugin used for application development. Open up the cmd from the start menu and then input these codes.
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\sdk\platform-tools\ (you adapt this to your case if you didn't extract it there)
adb shell
Do this with your device connected otherwise it's pointless.
NOTE1: In order for adb to recognize your device you must have the drivers installed.
NOTE2: If you are too lazy to type all this every time you can make a .bat script. Open up notepad and copy/paste these codes
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\sdk\platform-tools\ (adapt to your location)
adb shell
pause
After that just click on File and click Save as. In the window that opened, under file type select all files and on the file name save it as adb.bat
Now whenever you want to use adb you can just double click on the script you made and it will open up adb instantly leaving out the hassle of typing in commands every time.
3.Recovery
Now that we have root it's time for the recovery module.
The recovery allows us to modify parts (or even the entire) system by "flashing" (installing) .zip files prepared by our developer. They can be tweaks,fixes, additional features or even a completely new version of Android. There are a couple of ways to do this and the choice is yours.
Before you do this you need to get a recovery image. We have a couple of them for our device:
1. AmonRa-The very first recovery for our phone. It is outdated and generally not recommended for use. If anyone wants it you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080911
2. CWM (clockwork mod recovery)- One of the most popular recoveries around. It is a well made piece of software which will make flashing simple and fast. We have a couple of versions for our phone and the links are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075797&highlight=recovery ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768895&highlight=recovery ClockWorkMod 6.0.1.4
You will also need a flash_image file gotten from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7Faau7Enf-BTURDQmp1OWIzVGM/edit?usp=sharing
Method 1: cmd
Ok so this tutorial is from a developer who has retired and who made the original recovery our phone. All credits for that go to him.
Also note that it is recommended to reboot the device prior to flashing to increase the RAM.
1.Copy the .img file and copy the flash_image file to the rood directory of your sd card NOT in some folder. If you got your recovery in a .zip then extract the .img file from it and copy it and the flash_image file to the root of the sd card.
2.Using ADB shell copy these commands into the cmd :
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# sync
3.Now flash it:
Code:
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/*insert image name here*.img Here you should put the name of your .img file without the starts ofc :)
# sync
4.After that if no error occurred you can type this in
Code:
reboot recovery
WARNING: If some sort of error showed up DO NOT type in reboot recovery. This could brick your device. Instead restart the phone and start over.
Method 2: Venkat's toolkit RECOMMENDED
This toolkit does the same from above but it does it automatically without the user having to do anything. You can get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948326 It can also be used for rooting.
It is also recommended to make a nandroid backup of your current system in case you want to go back. Nandroid backup is a complete copy of your system as it is when the backup was made. It backs up EVERYTING not just apps and data, so it is a perfect thing to have if a ROM or a tweak you are trying render the phone unbootable since you can just restore the backup you made and no harm done.
That is recovery. Now you can use it to flash whichever ROM for our device you choose. You can boot to it either by typing in adb/terminal reboot recovery or by pressing the following buttons when the device is turned off: Power + Call + Volume Down. Also don't worry if the touchscreen doesn't work in the recovery. That is normal use the volume up and down buttons to navigate menus and either the menu button(for amon ra) or the call (CWM) to confirm your choice.Use the back/power button to cancel/go back.
4.Flashing
Flashing is a process where we install the entire system or its parts contained in .zip files from the recovery module.
NOTE When you get a flashable .zip package DON'T extract it to the sd card. Copy it as you got it to the root of the sd and then continue.
Now that you've gotten the ROM you desired the process is pretty straight forward. Copy the .zip file you got to the root directory of your sd. Once you've done that, reboot to recovery and make a nandroid backup (if you haven't done so already) and go to the option install zip from sd card. Then choose the .zip you copied and confirm. After it says install complete you can reboot your device.
NOTE 1: Flash only things that are either universal or made for this device. Flashing stuff not made to work on this device could damage it.
NOTE 2: When flashing new ROMs you MUST wipe Dalvik cache,cache and data partitions. It is also recommended to wipe Dalvik cache when flashing kernels.
Those are pretty much all the basics you need to get into the flashing stuff You can find loads of ROMs and other tweaks on the official P-350 forums here on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1769
You can also find info and development support on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/p350development/

Revision 1: Added tutorial for setting up adb, explaining what adb is, as well as an adb script code.

i think this thread need to stick, try to contact mods

A comment on the 'adb' way. Before executing the commands, you might want to cd to where adb.exe is because you will have an error executing the command and the terminal will show 'adb is not a valid command'

And installing android sdk is optional because there are standalone adb available for download.

It already is set to the adb.exe path that's needed in order for adb to be activated on Windows. That's why we use the cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\sdk\platform-tools
And I know but there are a lot of other useful tools as well. And it is most reliable too.

Good job dude

Why complicated more then needed. Just make tut with andking toolkit.

Not complicated, this is a basic tutorial for those who don't want/can't use his toolkit. It also has some explanations about basic Android terms which you won't find there.

It would be nice if you update the wiki too, as there is an old but yet usable guide which pretty much has the same information written here...

[Recovery][TWRP][ATT-ONLY!] Flashable TWRP recovery!

Hello everyone!
Here's another release thread for y'all!
What is this?
This is a flashable TWRP recovery for the Optimus G Pro.
Special thanks to @djrbliss
You can safely flash this to your phone's recovery and enjoy modding bliss!​
How do I use this, and where do I get it?
Good question!
There are two ways to use the files provided here.
To Flash to Recovery:
I've created an easy installer for all you Windows folks!
Download this: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/easy-twrp-e98010g.zip
Extract it to somewhere on your computer.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, if you need the drivers I've included them in the "files/drivers" folder in the zip
Run the 'install.bat' script.
Check for any errors, if it was successful, you can 'adb reboot recovery' or use an app on your phone to get you into TWRP now!
Profit! (and realize that this was pretty easy!)
(thanks to hkfriends for pointing out the errors in my script!)
OR..
Download this file to somewhere on your computer https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/raw/master/bin/loki_flash
Download this file http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok
Run the following:
Code:
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
adb push gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok /data/local/tmp
abd shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 loki_flash
./loki_flash recovery gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok
To boot
Download this file: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/gkatt-twrp-e98010g.img
Use fastboot boot to boot it
DO NOT FLASH THE .IMG FILE TO YOUR PHONE. It is only meant for fastboot booting.​
Where can I find the source you used to build this?
All on my github!
http://github.com/thecubed/
Or, follow my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43514195​
What can I do with this?
Right now, the possibilities are unlimited. Once a security-lax boot.img is released, we can flash that through recovery and let the modding commence.
Please remember though, modding /system with the stock boot.img will result in a security error!​
What works, and what doesnt?
I have not tested external SD cards, since I don't have one with me at work.
I have also not tested backups or restores in TWRP yet.​
Can you show me a video?
Why yes I can!
As usual, please pardon the crappy camera work.​
I <3 you so much, how do I show my love?
You are so kind
I most definitely do not expect donations of any kind, however they are appreciated a lot.
I purchased this phone off-contract just to get it unlocked, if you are a kind soul and would like to send me a token of your appreciation I would love you forever.
XDA has a neat "Donate to me" button that should be on the left side of this page under my name. Donations go to purchasing new hardware to work on and other neat stuff, so they're always appreciated.​
Special Thanks!
In no particular order, special thanks to all of you guys!

If I forgot anyone, let me know and I'll add you here!
​
Alright guys! Let me know if you find any bugs!

This is killer, I love twrp. So this will just over flash the cwm currently added earlier of course correct? Awesome work m8:thumbup:
EDIT: Not sure why but the Loki flash file downloads as a. Txt file for me

Touch doesn't work? You have the ATT version, right?
That'd be very strange if it didn't work because of something in my kernel... it's pretty much just stock...

sorry for the "newbie" question...but the file to download are getting to the phone right?

Everything works so far tried backing up restore flashing and external sd... very nice work I will keep playing to see if i find any bugs

That's weird... I've been testing with that exact command and it's not doing it.
Can you possibly pull the kernel logs and pastebin them?
Do this while you're booted in recovery:
Code:
adb shell
dmesg > /sdcard/twrp_kmsg.txt
[press ctrl-c after a few seconds]
adb pull /sdcard/twrp_kmsg.txt
Thanks!

Can you check to ensure that you have the ADB driver installed for your system? It is possible that your desktop hasn't installed the ADB interface while the phone is in recovery mode.
Start -> devmgmt.msc [enter]
Look to see if you have any unknown devices or "Android Phone" entries with no driver installed. That should do the trick.

Here's an interesting question... if you flash CWM instead, and press the softkeys at the bottom of the phone (the normal back and menu buttons) does anything happen? It looks like your touchscreen is being brought up successfully (despite the "[ 8.270257 / 03-05 11:00:29.766] Reflash Completed. Please reboot." line)
If softkeys work in CWM, then it means that something in TWRP isn't registering your touchscreen right. I'll look into that, should be fairly straightforward.
If softkeys don't work in CWM... that means something more strange. That means my kernel (or the boot commands I'm using) aren't compatible with your phone... which is indeed possible, since there are many revisions of each phone. (I hope this isn't the case!)
