Mill Town posted:So I just did the OTA update to Jellybean and it seems to have wiped out my root. Can I get root back without wiping my device or do I have to go through that again? I don't have time for this Mill Town posted:Yeah I should have mentioned I'm on a GNex in Canada. I got the update a week or two ago now, I don't exactly remember. As you've already done it and probably didn't back up first, you'll have to re-root. The toolkit will do it just fine, or you can fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash SuperSU (or push it using adb to /system/app). It's not like rooting a Galaxy Nexus takes longer than a minute at the most.

With the TF201 and TF700 both getting official JB updates in the next day or two, how will that affect their current CM/AOSP/misc rom teams? Are we going to see any changes that ASUS made in their Jelly Bean releases get brought into the custom ROMs, or are the custom ROMs already above and beyond what ASUS has done? This is the first time I've ran anything custom when an actual official update rolled out.

The only thing they would care about would be drivers/RILs/HALs which they sometimes need to port depending on chipsets.

Hey guys, I'm running a ICS build on my verizon galaxy nexus from either april or may. I think it's probably time to update things a bit. What's the current favorite rom? I'm using the liquidsmooth guys rom currently. What has the most functionality / performance?

The drivers/kernel related things are what I'm mostly wondering about. I wasn't sure if there were specific TF201/TF700 related items that only ASUS can release updates for, and by us finally having JB if it means we'd get something ported into the AOSP releases too. I have another question though: I just did my first update of CM10 on my TF201, and it apparently wiped out my SuperNote install. I guess even installing the regular APK is enough to install it as a system app? Is there a way to unchain it from being a system app so an update won't wipe it?

Well, CM10 is on M releases for the verizon galaxy nexus which are better than nightlies but not as good as RC releases. But the CM team's idea of RC quality is generally higher than most xda devs...

Quick double check, if I flash nightlies I only have to wipe cache/dalvik and don't need to do data, correct? Does this require reinstalling apps and the like, or will all of that stay intact between nightlies?

Old and busted news, but I finally got around to wire-tricking my EVO 3D and I'm back in the S-OFF world. Is MeanROM the only one worth trying at this point? CM9/10 were always iffy propositions at best (and googling around shows CM9 never even got an official release), and it's been a while since I wasn't stock.

So I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus, what does running a CM10 nightly get me over stock JB that would make it worthwhile? I haven't done anything with ROMs since I had the G1 years ago. (Hope this isn't too terribly of a newbie question)

I have another newbie question! I recently had a big problem while updating my Galaxy Plus with Samsung Kies which ended up freezing half way through and breaking my phone. Wipe/reboot didn't work at all so after hours of trial and error I managed to flash my phone with Odin using a stock Samsung firmware. My question: Does flashing a phone void the warranty like rooting does? If so I guess I'll say screw it an play around with rooting when I have some more time!I have absolutely no experience with this stuff at all and this is my first smart phone. I think it's awesome that I fixed the phone on my own instead of sending it away.

On my Sprint GNex I have it rooted on the stock ROM but I flashed the Franco kernel so I could play with overclocking. I've decided its totally unneeded and want to go back to the stock kernel. I did make a nandroid of my phone before I flashed the kernel, but instead of restoring that, can I just flash the boot.img file via fastboot? Would that just replace the kernel or will it change other things?

LastInLine posted:Some Samsungs have flash counters and tripping it does void your warranty. Also, as a general point, I'm not sure we've reached consensus on "rooting/flashing absolutely voids your warranty" and it's more of a gray area. That is, if the issue you're having is unquestionably hardware related, especially a known defect (e.g., power button that wears out), I'm not sure warranty repair techs would bother checking otherwise since it's such a typical job. The problem happens when the device fails in such way that it's plausibly related to running custom software on it. The other thing is that most folks don't actually go through the manufacturer warranty process, instead taking carrier-branded devices to their carrier's repair center or whatever. If you show up with a rooted/custom device, yeah, you'll probably get grief over it since weird poo poo often happens when running OneClickChooChooRoot or whatever. I think folks have generally had positive experiences if they've flashed back to stock first and the problem persists. I mean, sure, you should at least pretend that your warranty is void when you root. But things might work out alright if poo poo actually happens, depending what that is.

Let's not forget that while rooting/flashing voids your warranty on paper, the likelihood of actually being denied service is fairly low. While Samsung's got some terrible aspects to their phones, Odin is one hell of a tool, and if you can get your phone into download mode you can probably get it reverted to a factory state, barring physical problems like damage to the internals. Its unlikely the bench techs at your local store are going to diligently check flash counters every time someone brings in a problem phone, but if you obviously hosed around (custom boot screen, clearly custom ROM, etc) there might be someone who gives enough of a rat's rear end to tattle. Remember, these are very large corporations, and they favor speed over quality on most aspects of wage employee performance. Diligence is a hazard to job security, so unless its something really obvious your chances are good that your warranty will still be honored. As for me, I Odin'd back to unrooted stock on my Toroplus since JB actually came out on Sprint. Bootloader is still unlocked, but I would lock it if I could find a god damned working driver. None of them work properly and I've tried multiple cables and ports on my PC. If anyone's run into this problem and has had success with something I would like to know. As for Apollo, will it work with my music if I download it from Google Play? I imagine it wouldn't work with the streaming service, but if I save something to my phone via the Play Music app can it play in Apollo or is there still some lovely DRM going on with the files? I stream more often than play music locally (podcasts notwithstanding) but if I could just DL via Play Music I'd do that (and root/flash if needed) just for gapless.

HTC One S Why is it that sometimes when I over clock my phone to 1.8 GHz (from 1.5) with performance governor it will switch back to the default frequency by itself? My old Inspire didn't do that.

Just recently flashed my phone with Bugless Beast and nightly Franco kernel. I'm noticing a little bit of improved battery life, but nowhere near what I see some people claim of 10+ hours. Are there any specific settings I should be tweaking on the kernel? I'm using a Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

I'm using a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Those are likely people who turn on their screen for maybe 1 hour of those 10+ they're talking about. Sad thing is, is that the verizon galaxy nexus will only get 3 hours of screen-on time at the most, standby will vary much more though. You can create power profiles using the franco kernel app, but I'd just leave it alone, it's very unlikely that you'll improve anything.

This isn't strictly a rooting question but I figure you guys will know - I've got an International S3, am I right in thinking I could just grab the JB update that's started rolling out in Poland and flash it on my phone without triggering the flash counter, since it's a stock build? Would I use Kies or Odin for this? And are there any dangers or caveats in doing so?

The only caveat is that you will want to take extra care when flashing so the install is not interrupted (e.g. the USB cable yanks out or the computer loses power), otherwise you run the risk of hard bricking your phone.

Another question. Before I flashed Bugless Beast, I was using BAMF Paradigm. On Paradigm, the lockscreen had a torch widget on the bottom of the rotary thing so if I needed a flashlight, I just had to drag down. I've been googling for something that does the same thing but come up empty handed. Anything out there that would do what I'm looking for?

Also some minor tweaks, like adding the option to reboot or reboot to recovery from the power menu.
