3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsound.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"
5. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OUTSMART THESE DIRECTIONS OR YOU WILL BE RESTORING YOUR NANDROID BACKUP!

Problem with TAR

when i try to make WORKING ROM folder of SWKTM.tar.md5 after changing it to .TAR using dsixda
i get this error
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

that means that your tar file doens't have the kernel in it (boot.img) you have to put the boot.img file inside of working folder also

Don't try to use the .tar.md5 file directly. Do this:
- Extract the .tar.md5 file to a folder, lets say "/home/yourname/Stock". You'll get these files:
Code:
amss arm11boot boot.img mibib oemsbl qcsbl recovery.img system.rfs
We'll need to mount the "system.rfs" one. Now, do the following:
- Under your home folder (/home/yourname/) create an folder and name it "mntandroid". Create another folder named "system";
- Open a terminal window, navigate to the folder where you extracted the .tar.md5 file and get root user rights (sudo su/your pass);
- Type the following commands:
Code:
mount -o loop system.rfs /home/yourname/mntandroid
(remember to change "yourname" to your username);
- A new window shold open, it is the "system.rfs" contents. Select everything and copy to the "system" folder you've previously created;
- On the file manager, unmount the "mntandroid" drive;
- Compress the "system" folder - not its contents - to a zip file. The name don't matter;
- copy this .zip file to the "original_update" folder;
- try again now, it should work;
You can make it even better if you download any kernel (like Battery Extender) and place it in the .zip you've compressed before. This way, your zip should look something like this:
Yes, without any "META-INF" dir. Leave it like this.
Also, don't use the kitchen install script, I've read somewhere that it doesn't works. Use the Stocklite or some other stock-based ROM script.
Tell me if it worked for you. At least, this is what I did
Oh, by the way, this thread is where I got the mount rfs thing. I've just simplified it for you.

Trying to apply the GPS Fix for LG P970

Having found the fix'es on this site for the GPS, I am having a great deal of trouble applying it.
Using ES File Explorer I can navigate to root/etc - but I if I try to add or delete it just tells me the file can not be deleted (or added/copied/renamed or whatever I try). So how do I overcome this?
Secondly, I have to change the file permissions.
e.g.
5.Set permissions as follows
gps.conf rw- r-- r--
gps_brcm_conf.xml rwx rwx --x
Where do I go to make these changes?
Thanks.

1. I think your system partition is mounted as read-only, so you have to mount it as read/write - then changes are allowed. In Es file explorer there is such option in settigs menu.
2. To change permission using Es, put your finger on file you want to change permisions and hold a while. When 'operations' menu appers, go to option 'properties' and there is window where you can change permissions

1. Cant find any options that do this.
2. doing this only gives me buttons for "check checksum" and "OK", but I suspect if once I can change things in root I may get different options.

If you have rooted phone and root permiossions for Ex file explorer granted, then:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
in my case it looks like this... and work well
and:

Arr yes, I see it now. But its greyed out and wont let me activate it. When I try to enable root explorer I get this message:
Warning: When 'SU Request' dialog popup, please select 'always allow' or make system 'remember' your 'allow' choice. Do you want to try this feature anyway?
It then says "sorry, test failed, this feature cannot be run on your phone"
So looking up this new problem I installed some adb software to fix my SU Request problem. But it adb software only says it only works on rooted devices and wont let me do anything..... frustrating
EDIT: I have installed GingerBreak to root it. But its been trying to do so for over an hour...

You need to be your phone rooted.
The method changed in versions 20, the best option is bin/fls converter:

Yes, you need to root your device for this feature, if gingerbreak didn't work the first time is not going to work at all, i had to flash from smartflash tool in N00BY0815's guide for noobs =)

Thanks, but way to complex for me. All this stuff seems to be about changing ROMs, not just unrooting the phone, which is probably why I am having trouble grasping it.
ErnuB solution unfortunately has a youtube video which isn't in English and doesn't seem to apply to my particular version of phone which is V20c with Android 2.3.4
I will keep looking.....

Stuck in Fastboot

Hi,
My phone is stuck in fastboot loop. I cant turn it off or restart to recovery. I've tried everything i could find on the web, but no result.
ADB is not recognizing the phone properly. The same as MiFlash. I've tried dozen of Miflash version and either they crash or have that message.
Pictures:
Miflash error
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fastboot and adb dont recognize the phone:
What are the other steps, what can i try? Is there a Miflash that works?

try this,
1) download platform tools folder
2) download fastboot rom 12.0.2 i.e .TGZ file
3) extract platform tools (u will find one folder inside named "platform tools"
4) extract TGZ file
5) copy all extracted tgz files in that "platform tools" folder.
6) connect device.
7) double click on "flash all.bat" file
8) done

I've tried it, after clicking flash all, command prompt window flashes (too fast, i cant see the content of the window) and closes. Nothing changes...
Image of platform tools folder with fastboot rom inside:

1. Open command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory which contains flashall.bat.
3. Now run flashall.bat from command prompt.
With this you can see the error.
Advise: Check your path and see if any folder has a space in the name. Remove the spaces from the folder names.
