Downgrade to 902 - No app or data loss

No donations necessary. Just do your best to learn and help others. :) And yes, that stuff isn't for the faint of heart. But it's my attempt at educating users as to how this process works. The scripting makes all that stuff easy, but, that's what goes into making updates work.
 
I will give this a shot. I definately would like to learn so i can make a boot.img file for possible future leaks. I'm confused though on that link. How do I get adb working on my pc, or android terminal emulator? Is that the black window u have opened up, or is that something else? Not sure.
 
I have a question. Is there any way to take files out of one OS and swap them with files from another OS? I am not talking about apps. I tried to pull a few files out of the (system/framework).235 OS and and swap those into .238 and got an e/signature error.
Or is this not possible in Android, where would I look to find out more info?
This was pretty easy to do in BB OS
 
If you're talking about modifying update zip files, forget it. Not gonna happen. They are cryptographically signed and if you mess with them you break the signature. Hence your signature error.
 
We shall see. I have a major overhaul of the HoB that I wrote tonight that'll get published tomorrow as version 4.0. It'll be the last major version of the HoB until an ICS FXZ comes out. You'll understand why that is when I release it. HoB is about to become truly dynamic in every sense of the word.
 
No. 1.0 components will be required always. Once a new FXZ is released, it'll become the 2.0 components and the HoB will be updated to 5.0. I've just made it so that adding new update support doesn't require my attention anymore. ;)
 
Goodnight My Friend and remember Developers need sleep and Personal Time so take it when you need it what you do is wonderful but you also must think of yourself from time to time. :biggrin:
 
Yes indeed. Good luck! Sorry you weren't one of the lucky ones. :( Just know that things are about to get whacked. 238 is being leaked as we speak.

Hey remember me from last week? I got my phone up to 232 with your help, but then root wouldn't work. It just sits there saying Waiting for device...

You said I needed to flash back to 905 FXZ and start fresh. Well just did all that and it was smooth this time getting to 905 and then back up to .232. Guess what though, root still doesn't go.

Does this need to be done with the phone booted up or should I be in AP fastboot mode? I'm trying it from the phone booted. Just says waiting for device. Any ideas?

Thanks

Still not rooting after all that??? FRACK! I'll PM you something to try but I can't guarantee it'll work, either.

Great, thanks. I really need root for some apps I use. If I can't get it, I might just have to revert back to 905 and hopefully can still get root then.
 
Yea, I don't blame you on the root thing at all. I'd throw my phone out a window without it! :D We'll try to get you fixed up. Try what I sent you and let me know how it works for you.
