So could someone tell me how they could find Root users?

First it is illegal for them to build packets and find out "what" is being transmitted.

Second, to figure out if the phone has root wouldn't they have to "su" and then we would get a Super User popup that could be denied?

I mean unless they search for the SU binary some how, but then they would have to have something on board that phones home on the status.

Thrid, the DMCA was modified to protect rooting and jail breaking devices - so nothing illegal is being done, unless it is on VZW's end.

Now, if you are rooted, your warranty is Void and if you send your device in for warranty repair (even if you return to stock before hand) you are guilty of breaking that warranty contract. I do believe however that Software defects/Hardware defects are 2 different beasts and should be treated so.

Root doesn't harm hardware, and if my screen goes haywire, they should still be obligated to repair. Much like a new vehicle, if you put after market exhaust on it, your warranty is not void in whole, just any warranty on the exhaust. Unless they have changed this recently, I used to work for a Chevrolet dealer and people asked about wheels, tires, exhaust, and lift kits all the time - again it only voids those parts from being warrantied.
[Xoom General] sgtagem:
Thats funny. I went into our local VZW store and was talking to the manager and 2 sales peaople about how to root them. I pulled up my XDA app and show'd them everything. There is nothing wrong with rooting your device. The only thing they have control over is A: replacement plans B: how much data you use. if you use 5gb and you are only paying for 3 they will have NO PROBLEM letting you use more data at a crazy high price haha
[Xoom General] buzzdroidx:
thankyou!

well spoken!
[Xoom General] kponti:
And that's why I don't deal with att or verizon, and why I will not buy the xoom. With t-mobile, if I go over, i get throttled and I accept that simple and short!

If I f up and brick my phone, I buy a new one at my own cost easy as that.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
What needs to happen:

If you brick your phone performing software surgery, the carrier should have zero liability. Even if you pay for insurance.

There should be a small amount of data that can be tethered for free if your usage is below a certain amount. Anything over 100MB would be reasonable.

Carriers should lower tethering charges to a reasonable amount of money. Charging what they do for tethering creates a lot of the problem.

If Verizon insists on identifying rooted users, it should be to watch for the above reasons. Taking away the ability to modify kernals and roms would be a game changer for me. If carriers (and Google) want to change Android into iOS, I'm done with it.
[Xoom General] greyhulk:
Given that tethering is free with the data package on Xoom, I'm not sure why Verizon would care whether or not you root the device. Most of the reason they want to stop us is because of "theft of services" (i.e. free tethering) and that's a non issue with the Xoom.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
There's no unlimited data for the Xoom, so of course they don't care how fast you burn through your alloted data. The only rooting problems I can think of are using your warranty on it or something.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
There is no "unlimited" data on VZW phones either. :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] jondwillis:
This smells an awful lot like what comcast was doing a couple years ago.

http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Comcast-Throttling-Saga-Finally-Ends-Get-bUp-Tob-16-109293

I realize that VZW and other carriers have a certain say over what can be done on their networks, but like others have said: DATA IS DATA.

A network that refuses tethered data is a whole lot like a pre-usa-civil-rights-era restaurant refusing service to a black person. The only real difference I see is that a rooted phone can hide itself better than a person can hide his or her skin color. BUT IN THE END, THIS **** SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED AND SHOULD NOT HOLD UP IN COURT.

Of course, Verizon doubtlessly has their fingers around the necks of many politicians; hopefully the legal system will not fail us (root users.)

/end ramble
[Xoom General] patass:
i'm not too worried about this just yet....But then, I also have sprint. I'm not sure how much they care/how aware they are of the problem. I use my Evo on CM7 to tether my xoom whenever I'm out and about.
[Xoom General] lordgodgeneral:
I personally think in the end this is going to be a moot point. We'll more than likely see the end of the "Unlimited Data" plans within the next year or so, and when it moves to a usage based pricing, illegal tethering really isn't a problem anymore.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RobZarzecki:
Re more dock icons... before flashing this theme, i had been using simply galaxy and just extracted the launcher pro apk from this, removed the one I had and installed.

I'm pretty sure I had more icons that way if anyone wants to try that method. I remember more left and right choices... I'm running the flash now on bi and no need to redo it but... if you are seeking more icons, this may be an option
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rbtady:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MadNosf:
First off, i love the theme. Excellent work.

Now for the issues :), I am having trouble when i flashed the theme over the BiWinning V2 with the scrolling dock. I have to keep resetting the defaults but when i do that, it removes the border around the phone, app drawer and internet.

Once i change the home screens to 5 from 3, the dock is locked with the border back. I tried backing up the settings and restoring and having the same issue. This happens if i change any setting or cancel any changes :(

Is there any fix for this?

[Desire HD General] PeatCoal:
Anyone else had this problem? Ever since I updated to 1.84.110.3, every camera ISO setting acts the same as 'Auto'.

I have tried both rebooting and resetting my camera settings to default.

This is a very annoying problem, as it screws up panoramas because the images of the sky are much darker than the rest so the panorama comes out looking patchy.

no i dont have such problem... i have tried it in my room just now... from 100>800 the brightness increases everytime i increase the ISO setting

LG Mobile Update Tool

Guys, I had a bad experience with the LG Mobile Update Tool. My recommendation is DO NOT USE IT. Here's why:

I recently got 2 Optimus P500 for me and my gf, experimented on my phone updating to 2.2.2 using this tool. Everything went fine until it got stuck at 50% or something and the phone's screen on Emergency Mode. Luckily after removing my battery and turning on the phone, it booted fine and I checked the software version and it updated, that was my 1st scare.

Now, after convincing my gf to update her phone as well (she witnessed my 1st scare), I start doing the same thing with her phone, it downloads the update blablabla when it is supossed to start flashing it got stuck at 4% and it lost connection to the phone. The phone was in Emergency Mode as well so I proceed to remove the battery, it boots, I check the software version it was 2.2.1 (same version it had) so I decided to retry (BAD DECISION). I plug the phone back, and hit Retry, it starts updating, then again it gets stuck on 4% and loses connection. The phone's screen in Emergency Mode, I remove the battery again and no luck. Now it just boots straight into Emergency Mode and my PC won't recognize it.

Now, I'm not an expert on these phones but there's the KDZ tool which you can find somewhere in this forum and use that. Find the latest .kdz for your phone and flash it yourself without using the Mobile Update Tool, I should've done that myself after the 1st scare.
[LG Optimus 2x] pndavidse:

[LG Optimus 2x] fendy1:
LG firmware upgrade 4% emergency mode problem

I agree -- if you are considering upgrading your LG P500 Optimus One firmware, then I would suggest that if you are happy with the way your phone is working then it's not worth the risk of the problems that it could cause you.

In my case, like a previous post, I was going through the process of installing my first firmware upgrade for my Optimus phone -- it also stopped at 4% and there was another window in the background saying that the USB connection had failed (even though it was still connected). The phone was showing a yellow screen saying it was in "emergency mode". I had previously decided to do the upgrade after scanning the internet for any possible problems that people had with their LG firmware upgrades, and had read about the "emergency mode", but trusted the software to do it's job, so I was surprised that this was also happening to my phone. Luckily, after taking out the battery and restarting the phone, it booted up to my usual screen and I hadn't lost any data. It is not as responsive as it was before, sometimes apps don't respond, so something may have been written to the phone, though I don't want to go through the process like before and have problems occurring.

Therefore, my advice is to NOT upgrade firmware using the LG software until they can improve it and not have everyone facing these kinds of problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
I tried to update my phone with the official software. Halfway through, it said it lost connection with the phone, and then after following the instructions, and taking out the battery and trying again, it said that the phone did not require updating. Unfortunately, it would turn on, being stuck at "Software Upgrading. . . ", so I had to use nvflash to sort it out. The LG update software is flakey, and I wouldn't risk using it!

but had somebody deleted all the LG registry entries to try reinstall it????

[LG Optimus 2x] lildude736:
possible fix

I tried something and it started updating again. You should try to go to the "Customer Support" tab on the LGMobile Support Tool and click on "Recovery Phone." Now look on your phone for the IEMI # and enter that in the IEMI field, then hit check. It should start the update process again. Hope this works. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] rovar:
Stupid LG

To make it work use Windows XP or windows 7, then put the phone in upgrade mode (turn off, press volume + button and plug into usb) then hit retry on the ****ing tool

[Milestone 2 General] Shellite:
You guys say its not true, unlikely etc... but I'll tell you something.

Keeping in mind the provider statement is obviously valid, though I do have some disturbing information which some of your may not be aware.

Ever since purchasing my MS2 I've been unable to upload to Picasa... I posted about this on the Motorola MS2 forums, one of the Motorola rep's on there asked for the email address linked to my Blur account.

After supplying him my email address, He was able to access all kinds of information about my phone, full dumps of logs, errors, applications installed etc.

So in essence, Motorola have full access to your handset remotely... theres nothing really stopping Motorola providing specific information to providers, such as handsets with SU installed etc.

I would highly suggest you avoid binding your handset to your blur account if you have any concerns.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Wow...you got MS2 on contract or outright?
[Milestone 2 General] JeezyMT3G:
It isn't fake? But its clearly under the "Rumors" tab. Smdh

This rumor has been up for months!!!

And just like the bootloader rumor its fake ....maybe the tethering is real but the rest is BS

Amazing how gullible people are when info comes from an extremely reliable source like the internet lol
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Best piece of advice ever. Motorola or any other manufacturer does not need to have any information of yours and that is why it is never a good idea to make it easier for them to have the informaiton.
[Milestone 2 General] Semseddin:
Why do you worry about motorola having your information when Google knows about all the stuff you do with your cellphone ? Motorola clearly told everyone if you want to have a device that you could modify all around, " Buy other brands ! "

Plus, can't see any proof of what you say. No room for nonsense here.
[Milestone 2 General] Szadzik:
Motorola do not need this information - Google has to have your info for GMail, Market, etc. to work.
