It's an OTA, but the small OTA for the right ROM stock android 2.3.4/.5 and with the recovery android, and not the clockwork.

Hey, I'm seeing a better responsive stock browser after the update.
The issue is discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873364
The scroll is now usable on pages with big images which wasn't the case before.
I'm so happy, I have a working stock browser again.
Anyone else see the same improvement?
Also do you know of any other bug fixes?

this is OTA update not Full ROM

I did it OTA style and it did not remove root for me. Weird.
Although I'll have to flash CWM again, it seems to be broken.

So, the root is possible on the new version 2.3.6 with the update.zip of chendd ?

I'm wondering the exact same thing.

Tried to flash the update.zip thru CWM but it gives an error. Is this normal?. Maybe have the "stock recovery" is a pre-requisite to flash an OTA update. If not, perhaps I missed something to do.

Just tried to copy it to my /system/app but it doesn't work... anyone have any luck with the new browser?

It happened the same here. I think it would give the same with the stock recovery, I already tried. I restored the very first backup I done right after rooting and it worked flawlessly. Maybe this happens when we give root permissions to apps that don't deserve them
However I lost root and I just re-flashed the superuser zip file.

Nope. I tried what you did. Also pushing the app via dab. Deleting data and cache then deleting the apk and pushing the new one. Every time it said the app could not be found cause it was not installed.
Anyone else have any luck with this?
The only other thing I can think of is replacing it in the rom zip file before flashing.

Can anyone extract the boot.img for 2.3.6 and post it up?
I kind of did something silly and need it!
Previous boot images do not work with 2.3.6.
A
Never mind, sorted!
PS: Just used the superuser file and have successfully rooted 2.3.6 and installed CW Recovery 5 too.
I know the dangers, but **** it, I like having root access!

Stock 2.3.4 version pre rooted with uc-kernal pre configured

For those who like stock rom with 2.3 update .. this update is for u nd from now onwrds its not using uc kernels its jst the basic official rom with root access and blot ware removed
its pre rooted and very well tested and also its a backup file of clockwork mod recovery
there is no fancy thing don its official spice csl 2.3.4 version ... by installing this update may also solve ur warranty issue (becoz did for me) and since here in our country India the service attendant dont mind seeing super use.apk installed on the system since its now available on market so there is no worry u can take this phone to the service center anytime by flashing this recovery file ...
only work after flashing this rom and taking to the service center is to flash back the stock recovery image bt keep in mind my words AFTER FLASHING
How to do it
first u need clockwork mod recovery
then
all u need is to jst download the .zip file
extract it to ur pc
plug in ur phone to usb
mount sd card
look for the folder named as clockworkmod open it
look for folder named as backup
go into it and copy paste here the extracted files
now jst go to the recovery mod and then simply restore the backup and then after restoring is complete jst do a full data wipe full format the disk and i read somewhere that someone asked for document to go or something similar named app which came with the stock rom .. so its now there too i didnt removed it
link Stock 2.3.4 Pre rooted

reserve for future
also suggestions are welcome
To install these updates all u need is to jst put these files to root of ur sd card and then u need to flash it through recovery menu
PLZZ NOTE THAT THIS IS A UNTESTED VERSION SO BEWARE WHILE TRYING
i can not try it myself as my phone is out for service for 7 days if no one tried i will do it on my own when i get it replaced

I am downloading it now. soon i will tell more about it to you guys.
i hope will not brick my device.

hi
assuming u mean flash it via CWM or do u mean stock recovery

i have flashed this rom. after that i started the phone, the first problem i got is the lock screen is not allowed me to go in, what ever you i do. then i reast all my data but then also it is not working, so i returned back to rc2

^hey thanx for trying... i too was supposing that lock screen might not work .. did u noticed any changes with the icons ..??
and @haree by flashing via recovery means via recovery .. this might should work with both cwm and stock rom

Currently, we can not flash/install any update.zip using stock recovery. As I have mentioned before in some thread, for our device update zip signed using all available (test) keys returns error for signature verification in stock recovery.

okk i didn't read that anywhere bt i thought signed ziped could be flashed through stock rom and as for now don't flash this rom becoz lock screen is stucked new one will use that same old stock one

The reason behind this (I guess) is that our devices have a lot many hidden settings and apk in /cda partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9) and many of the apps from /system/app are symlinked (shortcut) to that partition.
Lockscreen settings are also stored there, which tells device which app to open when a particular gesture detected.
And while creating custom ROM we do not mount this partition or may be their communication does not retain. I have never tried mounting /cda/ in any custom ROM that I have cooked myself. (I forgot ), but I used to delete such links.

Yes
This apk (I guess) helps in media sharing over wifi to any other computer/device.
So should not affect the normal functionality.

okk no problem bt seriously ur work with miui and cyanogen mod dude hats offf...
update the link its working now

okk here is a very quick bug fix... the stock lock screen had not been removed from this update so as for now if u update over any rc update or other custom rom you might not be able to unlock (Except by doing an invisible slide lol)
so dont update it over rc updates or cm or miui this is ment to be updated over stock rom ... rc updates support will be added in very next update...
bt will not support over cm and miui as i dont know much about these roms

Any reviews/screenshots for this ROM yet?

[Q] Easier way to root and install CWM for LG black

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand LG black.
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version v20
Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM for my LG black.
Up to now, I have downloaded a few kdz from the subforum.
I have little experience before with LG phone, Last one i played around was LG P500. I remember last time i could easily root the phone by super1click, and then install rom manager from play store.
And from there (play store) i install CWM recovery.
I would like to find the confirmation from you guys that
Can i go for the same path again, super1click>rom manager>CWM recovery??
Thx in advance!!

Read my how to and find all you neeed
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app

thx
I realised the way you suggest to install CWM as exactly as mine.
But you only suggest to use SOC to root for 2.2 devices
Is there any reasons I should not root a 2.3 by SOC?
Actually SOC is always the most comfortable way to root for me
Hope you can share some

You can try it All you ll see is, that it doesnt work. If you look for root v20x or read my thread as a whole you ll find all answers you need. If you download the same version you have, extract bin and fls files flash and simply dont wipe data, just cache and dalwik have fun man

Read post 3 about how to do it yourself and follow the youtube video guide mentioned there. It's really easy and safe.

To me:
Easiest
- Smartflashtool flash v10a
- Use mass storage for phone
- Download Gingerbreak.apk
- Transfer to phone mass storage
- Install app
- Root
- Open Play Store
- Download ROM Manager
-Flash CWM
Voila
Easiest but slowest

Hmm, complicated. Why not:
- Smartflashtool flash v20n that has CWM inside. This is the procedure.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23788913&postcount=170.You only need the V20n,0,s (any of them) in fls/bin format.
- Flash Superuser.zip in CWM
- Done.

thx everyone
finally i got it!!
now using zeus v7, very cool rom!
But one last question, can i use the same smartflash with patched .bin method to revery to stock if i mess up something.
for example i am on cm9 and i wanna go back to GB, or i have to repartition my phone just like other brands like samsung.

Yes, you can. It is also useful for warranty (as root is voiding your warranty).

[Q] Simply UNROOT the original ROM S3-mini I8190XXANC2 ?

Hi Guys!
Compliments for your forums. It's a very great work that you are doing here!
I hope it's not a duplicate topic. If it's so, my excuses for that!
I've downloaded that program Kingo Root V 1.2.3.2051, to unroot my S3-mini which have the rom I8190XXANC2 Vodafone Italy
After I started the program and connected the device, I had a doubt, so after few seconds that the program was communicating, I turned off my router, so internet was unavailable.
Then I had to wait 1 minute more till the program said that my device is unsupported, anyway it asked me to press the button "ROOT" .
I did nothing, then I closed the program and disconnected the phone.
Now searching with Google, I found out that this program may harm in some ways, so now I am worried, maybe I shouldn't but hehe you know....
The phone doesn't seems to have new apps installed neither to act weird, so now I ask myself, was able this program to modify or install something in the phone?
Either this answer is positive or not, at this point I would like to do what was my intent: Reset to default, unroot just this ROM version without remove anything (unwanted Vodafone apps), only unroot it and add the Supersu APP; nothing else. Then I can decide later what to keep or what to remove.
I searched a lot in your forums before write this topic, but I found only an extreme "tweaked" version, which isn't my goal.
Another thing that I don't understand is why I see more than one files to flash in the device, seems like it's the operating system, the modem binary, and the kernel? I understood well? It's obligatory to upload all three? Which sequence order?
You mention some applications which helps to upload the roms as like Odin, twrp2.7, I may be wrong, but don't seems that you have a specific topic or an updated download section. I am afraid to search in Google and maybe find some fake versions around with includes malware.
Sorry for all that questions, but I am very new to this Android world. To start for good I need some guidance. I hope you can help me somehow.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for the instructions and the links. From the samsung-updates I can download my original ROM and then with Odin restore my S3mini as factory mode. This may help to get rid of possible "some unwanted changes" done my the tool mentioned in main topic. :good:
My next step is to gain the root access in the original ROM which is I8190XXANC2 OMN, and I dont desire to flash with too much tweaked versions, if possible. The ROM must stay as most close possible like the original, but with the root access.
Any help is very appreciated .

Haha. I'm afraid to root because they say that it'll broke OTA updates

So don't root your phone

Yeah but they said too that you can update manually even though your phone is rooted but i don't know how to update manually. Can you teach me?

People have tried many apps in the past, and reported that they do not work
Can you post a screenshot showing it?
