Nice guide, good work. Now have a beer!

This is just asking for trouble. You are overwriting and deleting system files that are in use.

Well Krylon I've done it several times and it works. If you actually had this phone you could try it yourself. While I can't write a custom recovery, I do have some experience with android and don't mind using unorthodox methods if it benefits my phone as much as it did.
BTW, what's with all the negative nay-saying?

its not naysaying, but the first person people hit up is krylon when they brick their phones, and he's just trying to limit that until they come up with a SURE FIRE way to do it. Dont take it as an insult

I wouldn't have posted it unless I thoroughly tested it on my own phone. My only thing is don't come in criticizing people who are trying if you've been gone for 2 weeks while everyone else has been trying to figure this out. It may not be the way Krylon would do it, but it works. And if for some reason it doesn't for you, by all means, flash back to stock. The risk is worth the reward.

perhaps if you would read my tweets, you would see why I was gone for 2 weeks.
As far as being negative, I'm not. I'm saying this isn't a good idea due to the fact you are deleting proprietary system files/drivers that are currently in use, which results in a hardware failure. This poses a risk of burning/frying the hardware or causing the drivers you are copying back over to become corrupt.
Here is an easier/safer way to do this.
Download MagicISO, Download my Tar (which I think you already have), and download the deodexed rom.
Extract the tar
Open MagicISO
within magic, open factoryfs.rfs (you will need to change the drop down to look for all files)
This opens /system
delete app and framework dir's
open the deodexed /system
copy over app and framework dir's into magic
close, retar everything you extracted from the original

dbl post. My bad.

Much more constructive, thank you. I appreciate the help and advice and I will make those changes later tonight.
P.S. I don't tweet so that's probably why. Tried it and used it a few times but just didn't like it.

ahh ok, yeah, I had personal issues I had to deal with at work, pretty much got fired, but yet still employed, they gave all my clients to other employees, so I turned in my notice. Now I'm just cleaning things up, and job searching, and collecting a paycheck for the next 25 days. hehe.
So that's why I was inactive for 2 weeks.

here's the tar command you will want to use.
Download and install cygwin if you dont have linux installed.
move the files to cygwin/home/(profilename)/
tar --format=ustar -cf FILENAME.tar factoryfs.rfs cache.rfs modem.bin zImage
change filename to what you want the tar to be called.

OK I had the parameters wrong in cygwin when I retried it. I'll try these next.

Also Krylon,
I heard some rumors that TW may already have some ROM's ready for this phone once we get a working CWM. Is this true? and is so could you maybe give a hint to what we might be seeing from TW?
thanks for the hard work and sorry to hear about the job.

[Q] Bricked?

My wife works for US Cellular and is having a complete fit about me updating my phone and rooting it !!!! She is afraid of it being bricked or having some issue with it down the road that i would have to send it out and it having to be worked on and DATA TECH seeing that it has done.. has there been any issues with the froyo update bricking phones i've looked and looked and not seen that it has.. also rolling it back to stock hasnt had and issues either has it ...
None that I know about. Besides you can always do an odin restore to 2.1 and it will be like it just came out of the box.

I work for US Cellular. This phone is my work phone, and I develop on it. I'm 99.9% positive that you cannot brick these phones by rooting and updating them, or flashing anything to them for that matter. As long as you follow directions you should be fine. When using Odin, don't flash anything to the Phone portion. Only flash to the Pit and PDA portions. Also, never flash anything that isn't for the Mesmerize. I don't care that other people have not had problems with it, It's not worth the risk to the average person. Also, read everything that you can and ask questions.
Come hang out in the irc room with us if you need anything.
Thank you...so far froyo is working well haven't rooted yet.. What are the benifits to rooting?

Rooting allows you the ability to get to the root directory, run apps that you couldn't run before, and other features that you normally would have. It's a hand thing to do.
Rooting shouldn't brick your phone.

Yes after rooting you can download from the market adfree that will remove most ads. The what I like to use is titanium backup to remove or freeze the bloatware. By freezing it is removes it from the app drawer. But is still on the phone encase you need it later say for warrenty. But now with the Odin files for our phones you can delete the bloat and do a resort in you must warrenty it.

I work for US Cellular and I use my work phone for rooting,development, and h4xing. I once messed up a flash when it first came out(no odin yet) and sent it into samsung directly and they reflashed it for me.

So I assumed you were typing it different every time. Then I realized you were probably using the xda app since it said "Sent from my .. ..." haha
I started adding the - so people would know it was my sig. Now the new version of it.

Like the sig. I'm gonna do that with mine.
Adfree is awesome,
And another really good way to get rid of bloat is to use the pick'n'pack roms. All the instructions are on the post in the android dev section.
And rooting/ flashing shouldn't be frowned upon by a lot of people at us cell / samsung- a lot of those are people that have a passion for phones and do the same thing

[EP1Q] Leaks (Links posted)

From P3 link to Droid world
"This is an even newer build of Gingerbread for the Droid Charge.
Known issues:
A small number of phones experience streaming audio cut-out when a headphone or jack is plugged into the headset jack.
Release notes: This is unofficial and a leak. Teamblackhat, Mydroidworld, and myself are not responsible for what you do to your phone. Installing this firmware will void your warranty and may cause harm to your device.
If you for some reason need to downgrade your firmware you will need to use the file from below to put your phone on an older firmware version. After you have put your phone on the below firmware version you will need to take several OTA updates to get back to the current firmware version."
This are the EP1Q Leaks,I have just downloaded have not flashed please refer to the thread EP1Q Issues, because there are issues with it. Remember to handle with care. Boot-loop abound…or worse
Stock EP1Q  LINK
description: This Odin image has factory radios and kernel. The system has been modified.
P3 special EP1Q  LINK New Link
description: This Odin image has factory radios and kernel. The system has been modified to fit TBH debloated specifications. TBH then added in Gtalk w/video, GoLauncherEX, the new Market, and more.
If you like it Donate to TBH
Other stuff you may need:
Pit file  LINK
Odin 1.82  LINK
Factory ED1  LINK
Factory EP1H  LINK
An idea of what you may have to do…
JKChad said:
Files you'll need:
Factory ed1
Factory ep1h
Factory ep1q (non special)
Factory pit file
Step 1: open odin, i use version 1.82. Plug up your phone with battery out and put it in download mode. Now odin should detect your phone. reinsert your battery, may not be needed, but I like to be safe. Now in the options area, this is under the id:com area, uncheck auto reboot and check re-partition. Now click on the tab with pit and select the correct pit file for the charge. This can be found in the droid charge development area. once that's selected you need to select the correct odin image. Click on PDA and find where you've downloaded the stock ED1 image and select it. Again, all of these files can be found in the dev section. Now click start and wait for odin to complete the flashing process. takes approximately 4-7mins.
Step 2 and 3: reset odin and disconnect your phone and reconnect your phone in download mode. For steps 2 and 3. all you'll need to do is uncheck auto reboot and select the correct image file( ep1h for step 2 and then ep1q for step 3). If you wanna be extra cautious, re-insert your battery before you click start. Also, I don't typical flash images through odin with my 4g sim card installed. No idea if it really matters, but I've "heard" of issues and don't want to chance it.
Once you've made it this far. unplug your phone and pull the battery and re-insert it. power up your phone and wait for the sammy logo. You should see the phone wipe a couple of files and then reboot to the samsung logo again. Then you should see the boot animation.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if your bork your phone up. Just tryin to lend a hand. Please please make sure you're comfortable with flashing odin and whatnot. This can and will make your phone a $650 paper weight if you're not careful. Hope this helps.

I havent done any flashing just downloaded read the EP1Q Issues thread link above for any info. I waiting for Humble 2.3 to do any flashing.
I've been running the fully bloated version since yesterday evening. Only real issue I'm having is my data connection coming back up after the phone goes to sleep. I did do a small amount of de-bloating myself. So, I wouldn't think that would affect it, but anytime I let my phone go to sleep the data doesn't seem to want to reconnect after I wake the phone. I can toggle data from the notification area off then back on and it seems to reconnect. I'm using the mobile hotspot for my laptop and as long as I keep a steady connection I don't seem to have any issues. It's only when I let the phone sit for a little while. I'm gonna reflash the stock ep1q file to see if it was just a bad flash. I'll post back up shortly.

What are you talking about?? P3droid is a cool guy. I don't understand why there is so much hate for this guy. P3droid is the man when it comes to Moto leaks and SBF files, and he has been nothing but stand up guy for the Sumsung community also. I don't see anyone else coming out with leaks for the charge.

You guys probably don't know this but guys like imnuts already had this leak at the same time P3Droid did. P3Droid just shares his leaks at the cost of his app, then releases for free after some time. There was a huge debate over whether it is right or wrong to "sell" a leak. I side with choosing that it is completely wrong to sell something that is not your work, that you just received from a Verizon tester. All P3Droid does is make Odins of test builds sent to phone testers for the phone. Anyone could do that. He has gotten better by shortening his free release time period but I still fully believe that it shouldn't be sold in the first place. Open source is free and those who respect it want to keep it that way. He also stole some things from imnuts when he released the first Gingerbread leak not too long ago.

to all who wishes to debate with this guy in defense of me, you are wrong and it is pointless.
All of those devs, Kejar, Danalo and yes even Imnuts got the file from TBH. He doesn't have his facts and speaks out the side of his ass. He is entitled to his opinion but if he truely felt so strongly he would not use anything that was released by TBH. Since he does then I take his complaints as mere *****ing by a petulant child.
From our (TBH) perspective it is a disservice to the community and those who enjoy seeing what is coming next, and in many cases improving the performance of their phone, that people like this poster continue to engage in this childish, immature, behavior.
So please enjoy what TBH does, because it will not be around forever. Eventually we will tire of this and move on to something else because of people like this.
I think we should just let this go and move on. Let's just enjoy our GB leak!

Where the heck did that come from? This whole thing was put to rest weeks ago. I am just saying what I believe. And honestly I couldn't care less if you guys stopped giving us leaks. Especially after EP1Q, what a garbage piece of crap that turned out to be. The puzzle lock doesn't work correctly, the Settings.apk is corrupt, and I'm sure there is a number of other problems. EP1H was more stable.

If anything, EP1Q is a sidestep. Sure we got a better LTE modem but the stability of the Rom is crap.
That's like giving a Corvette a twin turbo but swapping out the tires for donuts.

[PORT][WIP][dev]ICS port [booting-w graphics] looking for devs

Hello everybody,
I am quite new to android as i just bought this phone 3 months ago and before that i had an iphone.
I know everybody is happy with the upcoming ICS and the SDK that could be used for theme's, sounds and even more. but i know some of you are looking for a port from the SDK.
At this moment i am working on a port for the Sensation, but i have little to no knowledge on porting roms and such. so it takes a little while. but good news is i got it to boot up the service ril-daemon, and as far as i can see it will take a little bit more work till it will boot up fully.
If by any chance i can get it to work i do not promise that anything will work.
but i just wanted you guys to get a heads up on what i am doing at the moment and if anyone likes to help with development you are welcome to throw me a PM..
I will be updating this thread every once in a while when i have made progression.
A lot of work has been done. and i have made something that boots but needs a lot of work.
Whats working
-backlight screen
-buttons
-volume buttons
-boots
-hw acceleration (not tested just yet)
-screen
whats not working
-touchscreen
-all the rest.
we just got the screen working but wanted you guys to know it. we will test things out and upload later on.
device has got graphics working, but a load of services are failing so we still need to fix those things and hopefully get touch working soon as well.
DOWNLOAD LINK
ICS SENSATION v0.0.3
Just for dev only at this moment.
I'm excited either way.atleast someone is attempting a port. Alot of the devs look at it as a waste of time, but I don't think it is, especially if its as useful as the nexus s port. I wish you good luck my friend and if your looking for anyone to test, don't hesitate to PM me.

Glad to see someone with better ability wants this too.
I myself have been trying this just flashed my first .zip file last night have not even run a log cat on it yet. So you are way further then me. I have also been doing a lot of research through the forums and plan to expand my research to other places on the web tonight to see if might come across anything. I got a lot of reading and learning to do as I am certain you know way more about what you are doing. Best of luck to you and I will PM you if I come across anything you might could find useful.
Oh yeah by the way you probably should have posted this in the development forums, that is if you do not already have a thread there. I have not visited the development forums today yet.
Best of luck to you.
you're way ahead of me too - zips won't even flash for me (no idea why) and if I do bludgeon one into working, then logcat doesn't work
Nice, three devs working on this. I'm really happy right now. You guys should just all work together on this so our device will be the second or third to actually run the port

I've gotten connecting to the network working so far. SMS seems to work fine and it lists my network. I'm unable to use the data though. It just tries to connect but fails. Unfortunately system/bin/sh doesn't work so no logcat currently to see why.
EDIT: Removing /system/bin/sh and replacing it with a symlink to /system/bin/ash seems to have worked. Now I can run logcat at boot at least.

Wow i hope and pray you guys get this port working for the Sensation and i wish yall lots of luck. I know it can be done with patience and pure thinking!
cannot locate 'android_atomic_cmpxchg'...
That's the error that's preventing boot for me.
It's 3am for me so I'm done for last night (this morning) I know I don't have a perfect port such as I know my inits need work, which might add another issue once this one is figured but yeah, idk where you guys are.

That's the error that's preventing boot for me.
It's 3am for me so I'm done for last night (this morning) I know I don't have a perfect port such as I know my inits need work, which might add another issue once this one is figured but yeah, idk where you guys are.

I have no time to dev this weekend but i will work on it on monday again. There is a load of work for me tto do.. i think you need to search for the file in any rom thats working and see if it is presented within the files you have.

Well I am pretty much stuck for the moment ass I can not get my build to even flash right now and can not figure out why........
But tarends messaged me and it seems like he is very close to a fully booting build. So hopefully when we all hear back from him he will have something that is ready for trouble shooting to get things working which I already have a lot of info that might help get a couple of things working on a build that will boot.

I suggest you PM tarends and ask him if he can give you a run down on what he has, I have not asked if he wants to discuss everything here in the forums yet. He would probably would not mind but I would rather ask first. I think I might have a lead on what to do to get my build to flash. I am not sure but I think I have to edit the build.prop cause it is looking for 4 mount points but only finds 3. Thanks to XDA senior Member malybru and XDA Recognized Developer mike1986 for helping to get me going in the right direction.

My bad, in youtube play, no green screen, with following error message:
"There was a problem while playing."
It seems /system/lib/hw has right file (18064 bytes in size). Here is a log.
Thanks for looking into it .

no for my install.
Really liking this one so far. The power management tools are really nice, and so are the themes, I just wish I could read Chinese - the theme manager is great, but the TapasHot app store or whatever seems to confuse me Also, whenever you update the OP, you might take out "wifi" under major bugs, since it's fixed already.
Thanks for another bad ass ROM!

Ok I followed the instructions for installing the rom and love it but, I lost all contacts on sim card. I'm guessing I might have made a mistake. Can anyone suggest a way of recovering them? By the way they were saved to sim.
You didn't save them to Google?
There's no recovery if they're wiped from you're sim .....try saving them to Google next time,you'll be glad you did.
just flashed a different rom and they are on the sim and show up but for some reason they wouldnt show up in tapasOS even when I tried to import them from sim it would say there wasnt any.Would like to use this rom.
Like I said....back them up on Google...and use this rom if that's what your hang up is...if your not gonna use this rom based solely cuz it wont read your contacts from your sim...then your comment about really wanna use this rom isn't true when there's several ways of backing up your contacts and making it happen.
That is such a BS statement if I ever heard one..."I would like to use this rom". But do nothing on your own to make it happen..
Come on people use some common sense and do something on your own without someone holding your hand.
I have been trying to remedy this on my own all day by reading and trial and error. I guess you can feel like a tough guy behind the internet.
Dyin' over here! I
To rephrase the advice given earlier (since sixstring will likely cut out all of those posts later) in whatever rom will read your contacts, back them up to your Gmail account. That way, you'll always have access to them on any rom.

This is a known issue with cm7, cm7 is the base if this ROM. A little reading in the forums and you would have know what to do...
No need to knock the ROM, it's your 'ish

I by no means was knocking the rom, I said that I probably made a mistake. All I was doing was asking a question and things got blown way out of proportion. I have read on here everyday. Again I like to experiment with things. I will never ask another simple question.
lets keep it civil here people. no name calling. no replying to name calling either. just makes matters get out of hand quickly.
thread cleaned.
is it worth buying?

[Q] Any way to turn this into a tablet with WiFi only?

This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.
A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.
Lol why should we help you? One of the most stupid threads here

Uhh why not just turn mobile networks off n wifi on. And take the time to root your pos so u can delete the bloat.

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.
Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

ROFL Speedy community. Half of you are talking about swapping out to Photons and the other half are moving to One X's. yes I've read an awful lot before posting a question. Guess I'll be getting absolutely no help here. Not that there is much help available for this device when all the links are broken and the ones that are working, don't work for their intended purpose. Feel free to delete the thread MOD I'll stay where I'm welcome, in the Samsung sections.
Happy to see you leave, please don't come again.
Edit: and you couldn't have read to much or you would have been able to root it. Well then again, you were calling your recovery touchwiz in another thread soooo... I'm guessing you have some trouble grasping things at times.

Well its probably been a while since you researched how to root, because if you done that more recently or even looked at my sig, you would have already rooted that shift. I posted it here and in 3 other well-known forums so its hard to believe that you haven't found it.
