[Q] ICS Problem

I got the pre-rooted ics rom on my Vivid. Now, everytime I restart my phone, it goes into this "Android is upgrading" screen and starts "optimizing" applications. IS there any workaround to this?
*EDIT*
I forgot to mention, my phone still boots up after that, but it gets annoying having to sit through that screen every time I restart my phone.
Also, I get no audio from any apps but my music app... No music from videos, games, or any other app... What is with this???

mines does the same thing, and mine wont let me message, just says please wait.....

Same thing here. Mine takes about 30seconds to reboot, so i don't mind. Got used to that years ago, when i had a BB9000.

same here, but only when I choose restart. If I soft boot, power off and manually turn it on it does not do that.

Here you go guys. Just update to the official release. Should solve the problems.

So I'm guessing no root for now?

I think its an ics thing. Was not rooted before updating to ics and my vivid does this. I think its an ics self check deal

No, you can but you have to have the correct recovery.

Go here, register, and read the vivid forums. Wild Child will get you set up. Just read everything, watch the videos, etc. before you do anything! Follow all of the directions.

Can I install that while still on another ICS rom?

What are you on/ what have you done so far?
Are you stock rom? Do you have boot loader unlocked?

I am on the rom given here:

And I have relocked my bootloader in preparation for installation

[Q] Android 4.0.4 Root?

Hey all!
I have updated my LG p990 to android 4.0.4 using LG´s own software (Stock ROM), and I wonder if there is any way to root that as of yet? superoneclick dont work it seems anymore / yet, and I wonder if the tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
perhaps work to root with option 8 but I cant tell myself just by reading and I´m not allowed to ask there directly myself since I lack postcount.
any help will be greatly appriciated!
your sincerely Natherul

Use option 3 for root your phone.

thanks for reply, tried it but sadly it did not root me -.-
EDIT:
seems it changed the power button though..... now holding it in wont give me option to turn off and pressing it once wont turn off screen, help please
EDIT2:
nvm my edit, pressed home and power together once to make a screenshot then it works with power as normal again..... phone just thought i was holding down home....

Hey there.
How about try option 2. then change recovery to nvflash?
Then once you have a new custom recovery. Look for a stock ROM here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076882
its rooted so that might fix it..
not sure if this is gonna work for you though. might wait for someone more experienced to confirm this.

thanks for trying to help puffingman but i got it working I had to use nvflash method and what went wrong before was the installation of su app (superuser), after downloading a new copy and doing it again its rooted

Totally Confused/Need help!!

So, i got an HTC ONE in august or so, and then i had it rooted last month or so, but i didnt really do anything. The problems all started going downhill last night. I was looking on how to update it to 4.3 Jellybean, and when i downloaded the ZIP, i went to my recovery(Teamwin or something) and installed it, but after that ,my phone would use like a black screen and not everything would work. So somebody suggested that if that occurs, factory reset your phone, or wipe it. And i did both, and then i ended up here. I have No OS, my screen is stuck on the "HTC-QUIETLY BRILLIANT" Page, and nothing works. The only thing that i can access is my bootloader and my recovery, etc. I am what you guys may call a half-way noob, i know a lot, but this topic is totally confusing the heck out of me. If somebody could help me fix this, i would owe them so much. Please help out a fellow HTC Oner.

Now, it says in the tutorial that you need to enable usb debugging and stuff, but how would i do that? All i need to do is install a stock rom so i can just get 4.3 and move on. I havent used my phone in a lonnng time and i need it very much!

I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem too bad if you can get into recovery. First thing is to find out if you have a suitable ROM on the phone. If you inadvertently wiped internal data, you will probably need to sideload a ROM. If you do have a ROM on the phone AND you are sure it is one for the M7WLS, you can try flashing it again. If it were me, I'd download a stock rooted ROM and either sideload it or just push it via ADB. Your problems might have been the result of a bad download or installing a ROM for the wrong phone. If you did indeed flash a GSM ROM, the RUU is the way to go, but I've never messed with that process, so hopefully someone else will give you more details on that process.

Here use these for the drivers. Make sure you have no other drivers installed, if you do delete them and install those drivers. There should be a tutorial.

[Q] Now my kids device

I gave my kids my old Galaxy S1 Captivate. I have left the sim card in so that the "Emergency Call" button did not show up on the lock screen and I got a new sim anyway. Is there a way to remove the sim and get rid of the call feature all together? I was going to root the phone and update to 4.4 when I can. Is there a way to get rid of the "phone" features? I also have a Moto Atrix that I was going to do the same thing for my other kid as well. Any help would be great.

If it's rooted you can delete the phone and messaging apps

When I tried rooting it, I got "E:signature verification failed Instalation aborted." didnt know what that meant so I was going to try to redo it on my pc. I originally tried to email the update.zip to myself and save it to the phone and reboot it that way but I obviously did something wrong.

Try again and report

Try CF Autoroot from the play store (or think you can find it here).
Otherwise, you can flash a kernel with Odin (Corn for GB, Speedmod for Froyo) and enable root in recovery.

Flash a kernel with CWM, flash CM7, then follow the instruction in the thread linked

cm-10.1.3-captivatemtd.zip then gapps-jb-20130729.zip
did I do the wrong gapps?

Try this:
- do Factory Reset
- clear cache
- clear dalvik
- re-flash CM10.1.3 package
- flash latest Android 4.2.2 gapps 20130812
- reboot in recovery
- do Factory Reset one more time
- clear cache
- clear dalvik
- reboot
See if this helps. Usually solves unexplained FC issues.
Sometimes it's just a bad download. If no luck, try to re-download the packages.

No Luck on the re-flash. I am now going to re-download the packages and try it again.
I am not finding gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. I found a link in this forum and when it gets to the goo.im site it says file not found. When I search for gapps-jb-20130812 on the site, it doesnt have any on that date. Do I need to install a different gapps?

Yes, the phone will still go back to my daughter. It was a testing ground for me, since it is the first time. I will also be rooting and flashing my son's Moto Atrix and my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (first gen) "the one I really wanted to do". I also have my Galaxy S3 and my wifes Galaxy S3, but I wont be touching those just yet. Needed to get my feet wet. Now I need to figure out how to disable the phone feature part of the phones, and other stuff I don't want them to get into.
BTW, my kids are 4 almost 5, so all they need is the games. Using our old phones is much cheaper than buying any kind of game system.

CWM & Smartflash issue on P990

Hi guys!
I'm a newbie here at XDA. Long time ago, I have formatted my Optimus 2X from GB to ICS using smart flash tool. I have done that successfully. After few months, I felt like my phone is slow to respond. Then I decided to repartition and install fresh ICS copy again. I was not 100% sure what I was doing at that time. I have used AIO tool for this. Selected option no. 4 and have selected CWM v6.0.2.5 as recovery.
Then I tried to install the new ROM using smart flash and I did not succeed. After I have messed up with this problem, I contacted "spyrosk" (the OP of AIO tool thread) and he told me to install stock ROM on this thread. Then I have downloaded the V30A ROM and copied out to the phone memory, and installed using cwm by selecting install zip from sdcard option. I have succeeded.
But now I want get my phone back to the situation where I installed ICS in first time (GB to ICS using smartflash). Because my camera isn't working, OS freezes pretty much, etc. So I tried several times using Smart flash (in AIO tool) tool as I did as same as when I update from GB to ICS. But, I'm getting an error. Time out reached, after few minutes.
Should I remove CWM before install the fresh stock ICS rom using smart flash? Please guide me through this as I am a newbie for these kind of things. All I want to do is, bring back my phone to the same situation where I upgrade from GB to ICS, as I told you at the beginning of this thread.
Please don't ignore this thread by thinking I am an epic noob at this. Guide me and I'll do exactly as you guys say. Thanks a lot for reading. A reply would be greatly appreciated. :angel:

Anyone? Please.
BUMP. Can someone please give me an advice? I'm kinda disappointed right now.

There is nothing to worry about, just keep trying using smartflash. After each try remove the cable then connect it back, if it still not works restart teh phone to S/W screen. If it still not works try it on an other usb port, and do everithing from the begining. If it still fails use another cable or try it on an other computer.
It usually start work for the 6th or the 7th time of trying.
No need to remove cwm or anything like that.

Thank you very much for replying this thread BitDomo. I will try some more times then. Apart from that, I have seen a way to uninstall CWM by installing some files to the device. But I did not try that since that method is for CWM v3.x.x.
I'm kinda noob at savvy android thingies for now. I will learn some more about these thingies from the start of next month. Until then, I just want to bring my phone to official ICS 4.0.3 stock ROM and use the phone as I did earlier.
Thanks again for your kind reply to this thread bro. Really appreciate. I'll try some more times and will post the results. Dear android experts, any other solutions for this? Please make a post if you have a suggestion. Peace.. :highfive:

Guys I have tried over 10 times to flash to ICS 4.0.4 using Smartflash. But everytime I end up with same error. Then I tried Nvflash. But my device showed me a black screen after the process completed. Everything working correctly but I couldn't see anything on my LCD, its just a black screen with the light. So, I used full brick repair for P990 here at xda.
Now I have CWM v6.0.2.5 as recovery and CyanogenMod 10-20131105-UNOFFICIAL-p990 in my phone. Can someone please explain me how to bring this phone back to official ICS 4.0.4? I tried smartflash right now and device shows a black LCD screen. Smartflash picks up the device but process stops in few seconds. I have searched for revert back to stock ICS from CM, but I did not get a descriptive enough information for this. Please write atleast a brief reply if you know the procedure. Thank you very much. :good:

Problem solved. The thing we learnt today is that the battery have to be inserted when you use smartflash.

This dude is a genius. This tip fixed my phone instantly. If any of you had the same problem, remember NOT to remove the battery when you do a smartflash. So its time to close the thread.
