Thanks but I tried but Cant find it..when I extract it I find system.sin how I extract this file?
Here you are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085198.
Thanks for your helps but I must download 200 mb for 20kb file
Can some one help me abut extracting file from system.sin?
I found this but it doesnt work with x64 operation system..:crying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952732
any Idea?
I think that downloading 200mb of system files is easier than unpacking a single sin file. I remember when I've been trying to unpack nandroid backup... It was a horror.
Thanks for your information
I added that file to my download list..

In the time this thread has been up you could have reflashed and set your Phone back up numerous times over, but tbh you should have had a backup before editing anything. There's links in my Xperia guide to help with extracting ftf files.

Stop being a ****. Some people have a life. Also reflashing, setting up every single thing in settings, flashing mods and restoring apps is not considered as "fun" or "time spent well" so if you have nothing valuable to contribute then why even bother with such a useless posts.

I wonder why People bother to join a mobile developing forum sometimes. I noticed last night my notifications were a little off and couldn't pinpoint what had caused it, a poorly edited image or a particular xml edit, so you know what I did, flashed my CMW back up, bulk restored all my settings with Titanium Backup and my Phone was exactly how it was before I edited it, total time was less than 10 minutes.

It's not like everyone in here knows what they are doing. Majority of people in q&a don't even know what cwm, nandroid backup or titanium backup is so please don't expect to be as smart as you. This guy asked for a file and I gave it to him then you came bashing him for not having a backup. You feel superior to others but you shouldn't.

Maybe you are right. I sometimes feel that this forum is not for me but I can't go back to where I came from because previous forum was taking too much time from my life. I thought I'll settle in this q&a section and just help people with some simple problems few times a day but sometimes i can't behave myself like it is considered "good" in here.

I also started off as a noob and learned everything I do know from reading reading reading, as I wouldn't dream of trying to mod something that costs hundreds of pounds to replace without some knowledge of what I'm actually doing or how to repair it should I screw up. There are numerous guides and stickys that have been wrote to help with everything and if People aren't reading any or all of them then when they first sign up then you're doing something wrong.

You didn't give him what he was actually looking for did you then go on to say extracting a backup was "a horror" when it's actually really simple. I also gave them advice, and don't really care if you, they or anyone else doesn't like it, either take it for what it is or don't, and as for feeling "superior", I don't feel it as I'm not like that, but after building numerous themes, a ROM, writing a few guides, helping numerous People in threads and via PM, owning an X10 an Arc and a Ray in the few years that I've been here, you would think I might actually be able to offer some advise, which I did by way of pointing them in the direction of my guide where they can find links to help with extracting the ftf you linked to.
Although I would have thought someone would have uploaded an unmodified build.prop by now, but this is the thing with asking for individual files, you can either sit it out or start from scratch after learning a valuable lesson.

Sorry, I must have thought I had. Every time you donate to xda you get one. See HERE.
You are a pretty cool guy and i respect you for your massive contribution to this forum so lets stop this argument because its not going anywhere. I know it was my fault because sometimes I can be a little too harsh for this forums standards and calling you a **** while being one was pure hypocrisy from my side. But well I still think your first post was useless...
Damn I must behave myself because my English is too simple for a conversations like this one.

Hi,
How can I root GN android 4.2.2.
my device is already unlocked. I tried GN toolkit but the latest android is not available.
your help is highly appreciated.
Root it like every other nexus device:
fastboot flash a custom recovery
reboot recovery
flash supersu.zip
Learn adb and fastboot. Toolkits are just about the worst thing XDA has ever birthed. If you can't learn to use a basic command prompt you definitely shouldn't be rooting or otherwise modifying your device.

with the release of 4.2.2, it has become evident that 99% of the people here arent interested in learning anything. you should see the Nexus 7 section. The mods wont even do anything over there.

How to flash a new kernel on my phone, I've been using CM10 on my Arc S for the past year or so and I totally forgot how to flash a new kernel onto my phone, I remember it being through CMD on the PC but I forgot where to get the necessary files and such, there's so much crap on the forums that new I've become kind of lost lol
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Well, nevermind.
I remembered after I actually found the files on my laptop and went through with the new kernel.

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

To make it short: every rom needs a kernel that it's likely not stock kernel. In every OP of rom it's written which kernel you have to use...

To update official software, you need to be on stock software, unrooted, with stock recovery What version of Jelly Bean is your CleanBean ROM based on?DO NOT take any updates while rooted or on custom ROMs.
Yeah don't ever take official OTAs while rooted/on a different rom other than stock. Hell i never even take an ota for the rom that I'm on, i always do things myself to ensure everything works right. Your build.prop needs to be updated to trick the OTA update, check the developer's thread to see if he posted one for you to flash

Please refer to this thread courtesy of CNexus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209418
It has all the answers to your questions regarding ota updates (he even made a guide on how to edit your build.prop yourself!)
Be careful when editing your build.prop though, I'm sure CNexus includes this in his guide but just in case, make a copy of it and store it somewhere safe like an external sd or your computer before you edit it. Good luck! Also be sure to hit that "thanks" button, i find myself thanking almost all his posts

I wouldn't be too afraid. Just be as careful as you can be. I believe editing the build.prop is pretty harmless so long as you keep a copy of the original somewhere. You should do it yourself! You'll feel awesome knowing you took another step and got your hands a little dirtier and have 1 less thing to have to depend on someone else for

Well we don't have to warry about that any more since my phone crashed and I forgot to backup that ROM so I'm back on cm11, but no one else had a thread answering this question so I hope it helps others.
Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.

1) I can do this through Odin correct?
2) Ok, what is the most popular rom?
3) Ok.
Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

However yes I agree, I was excited by the prospect of rooting my new phone.

Whihc is why we have so many duplicate topics because newbies do not bother to search/read and instead prefer to be spoon fed.

I know no one here owes me an answer, just because you have a lot of posts does not allow you to make the rules around here.

And at what point did I remotely say anything about me making the rules?
I was simply informing you of the rules that XDA HAS!
You are not allowed to bump posts after a short period of time!

This emphasizes my earlier points in that you need to do some reading/research before jumping in.

Then make a backup first. You probably wiped data via recovery or something.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.
