The Super CID is the deal that removes the SIM card lock and includes some other goodies. Basically it's the ./gfree.

And if you just download the root folder and use that to root the phone it will not install the E-HBoot.

and according to

This

they've removed the HBoot install process.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
I was told that 0.85.2007 was eng hboot, which is what I'm on. Or am I wrong? SuperCID is a different story for me.
[myTouch 4G General] WorldWide60:
Until yesterday I had never used ADB. Within 2 hours of sitting down, I had a rooted myt4g using the gfree method. All it takes is a little patience, and reading.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
.85.2007 is the engineering HBoot.

the early post that TheUnlockr had posted did update the Engineering Screen. That was the method that i first followed but for one reason or another they removed it and only follow the Script method.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
Hmm I see. I'm guessing I got it before they took it off then.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Yea i did to. I remember the first time i flashed it i was shaking like a leaf... i didn't want to screw that code line up.

I was reading for a while in the dev threads and has never the need to post a comment there. But now, in the sgs miui thread, i would like to post a few times a comment, but it can't due to the 10 post rule.

I can understand that this is to pretend unnecessary posts, but imho that doesn't work if you look through the comments, there are tons of unnecessary posts. Likly as mine here... but i have to state that here.

This Tool is amazing. Many features.

Source is here:

http://rk-team.net/showthread.php?11-%CD%EE%E2%FB%E5-%E2%E5%F0%F1%E8%E8-QuB

"Lesson 1"

Make hidden folders visible for research and Backup.

For instance folder System is the RC1 file, mounted into RAM...

Many Thanx RusEm and Team.

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] frxbg:
Hi thank you for this tool but it is only for "qualcomm" platforms i think (not sure). In s8500 qualcomm is only processor for calls.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
QuB is designed for Samsung handsets.

This command is 100 % working on S8500 and U700, tested by me.

You have to select same COM Port like you would choose for File Manager...

No magic.

Then you have access to nvm folder, system folder and few more...

System folder is read only as it is the mounted RC1 file...

does all these features run on trial mode???

or should i buy the app

there is no profile for s8500 why???

i know you are not the developer of the app adfree but i just wanted to put those questions
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Yes.

@adfree: take a look at the screen, i got only question mark on the application. do you know what is the problem?? may be due to lang files ??

Really nice tool.

Setting FmSecureMode to off gives us the chance to see where everything is located and we can investigate and chang the files on the pc. now we need to find a way to get them back to the wave :)

Maybe with PfsDeleteList.txt / *.pfs ?

Also after reboot FmSecureMode is set to on again.

But we can already see where the fonts are located, that the sms viewer is html/css based like the one for email and any other messages (so we can easiely change layout, colors, font-size,...) and a lot of other things like replacing images etc.

When we get this working, nothing keeps us anymore from a fully customized bada :D

Need help in decompressing Rc1 and Rc2 files. I see some tabs in Qub saying Rc1 and Rc2. Dont know how to use them to dump rc1 and rc2 files. And if I do, is there any way to upload them back like in trix. Or can you use trix to decompress rc1 and rc2 files? If yes, how? Help would be very much appreciated.

I am trying my hardest to give back to the community that got me started in the first place...

But lately, I am burned out by the endless complains and repetitions of same questions / answers which I have already stated clearly in my OPs....

Anyways... going to take a break from all this for a while... :(

[/RANT]
[myTouch 4G General] irrelephant:
all i can say is thanks for everything you have givin us!!! i love your work and the fact that you are so hands on with all of us, even the people that are too lazy to read and learn before they ask the same effin questions over and over again... but you have to remember, that you are doing this for free and take time for number 1, YOU!!! i have no complaints about a break from the nonestop dev'ing you have been giving to us, i will be looking forward to your comeback...

btw, did ya get my donation?
[myTouch 4G General] syaoran68:
its all cool faux go take a break everyone needs one every once in a while to get some motivation back so thanks for all the goodness and block all the complainers out. they just whinny little kids anyways. if we could we would donate for vacation for you :)
[myTouch 4G General] jdkoren:
No sweat, everybody needs some off time. Those complaints and repetitive questions are unfortunately unavoidable because not everyone here is as technically/technologically inclined as the rest. Those of us who are truly appreciate your work and will miss you until you come back.

Take your time. I love your kernels I can wait. To bad alot of people don't bother reading.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
Faux, love all the work you do! Never had any issues with any of your kernels/ROMS and everything runs so smooth. Its understandable to take a break every once in a while to stay sane. Just dont over-do it and take a load off. Hope you enjoy your 'you time' and wish the best. Cant wait to see you back!

[myTouch 4G General] benmyers2941:
I think the reasons you've already pointed out are why we loose some devs and others form groups. I think it's great that you've joined up with Team Royal, but at the same time I think the group may be taking on too much for it's size. What are there now six team royal roms? I don't know what things look like behind the scenes but that seems like a lot in such a short amount of time. At any rate you guys need a PR front man to take care of the *****ing and moaning and redundant questions while you do what the rest of us can't. Not that I'm volunteering, sorry I just can't spare the time.
[myTouch 4G General] The_F_Word:
Being a server at a restuarant I can kinda relate to this. The more tables your asigned to, the more your brain has to work lol, and also u kinda get stressed out because u have a person over here who complained about thier food and another here crying about not having enough ice in their soda lol. Even if your doing the best u can

you and team royal work hard no doubt about that, maybe their could be an option in the front page of each forum where the main questions about specific roms are already answerd. Idk just a thought

But mainly the brain does need rest at times!!!!!!!!! Especialy at a high level velocity u guys go on lol.... Devs are awesome, god bless

You still have THE BEST homemade kernel out there and I'll be surprised if anyone can top you, even if you aren't updating. Like everyone I await your return and hopefully those of us that have enjoyed your kernel without any issues will do a better job at answering those annoying, repetitive, inane questions for you.

[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Sorry to hear Faux, I feel your pain and I'm not even a dev.

This is precisely why I try to answer as many questions as I can; to free up the devs for more important work.

Perhaps we should implement a system similar to reputation points. In addition to the THANKS button we could have a button for READ THE ORIGINAL POST. If a post gets enough votes it will be "squashed" and minimized so the rest of us don't have to look at it.

FWIW I do my fair share of "read the op," "please search," and "here's the thread that was right in front of your face." posts. :mad:
[myTouch 4G General] macheteZen:
+1 for squashed. Faux is truly one of the best we've got. The community suffers without your insight and effort, we will all be eagerly awaiting your return.

[myTouch 4G General] acsi007:
Faux:

I haven't posted much but I've read a lot here, and I can tell you about preventing burnout: You have layers around you-- the people who know 2/3 as much as you do ( a lot) and can field questions and do blocking for you. Stay in the pocket, keep a little shielded, let your small circle around you take heat and dumb questions.

But really there are no dumb questions, right, only the one you didn't ask. But taking that to the extreme-- you hear it 300 times-- you're absolutely right. So just stay more insulated in the future. If we want Faux's work and people like him in the future, we all have to step up and do some more legwork. As a group, we can take on repetitive questions- we just do some tag team answering and keep the devs in the VIP room, so to speak...

But we shouldn't put it all on the n00bs (I'm still one of them) because then we scare away people, people we once were ourselves.

Three cheers for Faux. Many happy returns.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Completely agree. I wish the app had a thanks button.

[HD2 General] weqr:
Hi

Just had my HD2 stolen this afternoon.

I will be on flight to Hong Kong tomorrow evening.

The phone was bought sim free in UK and not insured so can't claim for replacement.

Anyway, I just want to know:

1. I live in London and is there any shops that I can buy a new sim free one from tomorrow (Monday)?

2. If 1 is not possible and I bought one from Hong Kong, would it be an Asia HD2 version or there is just one version globally? If it is Asia HD2, does it have English language and can you still use programs like CHT Home Tab/Editor, BsB Tweaks it?

3. I use the phone to receive my emails. Is there any chance the login password could be retrieved by whoever stolen it?

4. Can whoever stolen my phone still receive my emails even I have barred the SIM card?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you used Microsoft My Phone app on your HD2 you can use it to possibly locate your phone. Just go to myphone.microsoft.com and log in with your Windows Live or MSN account wich ever one hou used for yhe Microsoft My Phome app.

Ic you by another HD2 there in Hong Kong it will more than likely be the Asian model HD2 and I think it does have english as one of the languages. You would also be abale to use all the apps you mentioned in your post. Just be careful if you do purchase one there as it is a lot of clone/fake HD2 being sold there and on the internet from there. But wih you have had a real HD2 you know how it should look and all. The fake ones look different.

Who ever stole your phone shouldn't be abale to get your passwords a.d if you have barred tbe sim card they will not be abale to use your sim card to make calls and such. They will have to sim unlock it to even be able to put another sim card in it to use with another carrier.
[HD2 General] Robson:
just adding on to what T-Macgnolia mentioned above. if you have the original box of your hd2 then it would have the imei. you can call your network provider and have the phone blocked completely. though of course it doesn't guarantee that you'll get your phone back, but at least the jerk who took it can't use the phone. it'll be a media player and a gps but as far as the phone app, it'll be blocked. normally your network carrier will pass on your imei to other network providers for blocking (at least i assume this'll be what happens as it's what's done here in australia).

- as mentioned above, just make sure you buy a genuine hd2 and not the clone. if you happen to stumble across one with a front cam or 2 sim card capabilities, it's a clone.

- definitely your emails are safe once your sim card is blocked

cheers
[HD2 General] jecustoms:
Even if it doesn't have english, you just enter in bootloader and flash any custom or unlocked location stock rom

Sent from Mars
[HD2 General] weqr:
Thanks for your replies guys!

Will try that. Hopefully Vodafone would do it even though it was not their branded HD2.
[HD2 General] weqr:
Just got off the phone with Vodafone - they said they couldn't do it.

Oh well, just have to be more careful in the future. This is the 1st time that I had a phone stolen since my Motorola MicroTAC II in the early 90's!
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
They can't do it because (I'm assuming) you didn't buy it from them. Ring o2 and they'll probably be able to block the IMEI and blacklist it. That's assuming you bought it from them too obviously. :)
