razzmataz1478 278 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Ahhh what a tease, thought I had root then, using razr root exploit, it pushed superuser apk so I thought it worked, but there no root :angry2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586570 Anything worth a try I guess ;) In terminal emulator or an adb shell type ls system/xbin/su[/code] And post the result.

Result being no such file or directory, as there is no su binary. If only they was that kind :( :lol: And although the root exploit installed superuser, it was to user app, no different from downloading from market lol. I tested several root apps so it was clear I simply had superuser installed. Starting to think they have sealed up ICS just like they did gingerbread :( Edited October 6, 2012 by jikobutsu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon O 396 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 You can go into the Orange shop and they can update it for you, would that route be possible? Just worried about voiding the phone, but want ICS badly and I can see Orange doing ota only update. As I've already posted elsewhere: It won't kill your warranty. Only unauthorised software installation (Custom ROMs) will do this because it involves unlocking the bootloader which always voids warranty (even if I don't agree with it). Of course it's up to you at the end at the day but I fully expect the Orange ROM to be full of crap nobody needs or wants and without ROOT you won't ever be able to remove it all.

gemere58 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Hi there. This is my first post to this forum. I have had a great deal of success upgrading my now retired Orange San Francisco with the help of this site, now after onoly a few hours of ownership I'm wanting ICS on my new San Diego. Can you just claify that it is possible to do an SD card update to ICS using the XOLO Update from the Orange GB that my phone came with? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibson.1 1 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 If you install the ICS update from SD card does it use up any data during install? I've left my wifi but I've already downloaded the update to my phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jikobutsu 312 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Cool.....anyone else noticed you can disable system apps in ICS ? Which in effect is like having root and freezing apps. How it is done is to go to app manager, click on apps you don't use on system and there is a disable tab at top. So if like me you don't really use google maps or talk, they can be left as if froozen! Edited October 6, 2012 by jikobutsu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMoonRising 162 Report post Posted October 7, 2012 As well as a better UI for the camera, is it true that the picture quality is better? What about video? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geekrohit 1 Report post Posted October 7, 2012 As well as a better UI for the camera, is it true that the picture quality is better? What about video? I don't know about the picture quality, but macro shots have been better. earlier it never used to work for me, but now i can have macro shots :D. The camera quality doesn't compare to that of my nokia n900 though. Best camera on a phone i've used so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jikobutsu 312 Report post Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) I was just playing with camera and noticed some features are missing. Multi shot you cannot select the type, focus, exposure like on gingerbread. Also the front camera you cannot select between resolutions,as far as I can see anyway. Although I do like the fact the video record autofocus now works without the annoying clicking noise. Edited October 7, 2012 by jikobutsu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
