What I have heard is that Verizon is not going after rooted users and to my knowledge are still taking the same stand against rooters as they have in the past. What they are going after are the people who use tethering without a tethering plan. They are only doing this because there are certain members of this community who use tethering for obscene amounts of data. These are the people who use 150gb or more a month and yes there are people who do that.

We need to remember that just because we can tether large amounts of data does not mean that we should. I saw the following analogy on an article online and I think it is an excellent way to think of this.

If you are in a supermarket and you notice that they are giving out free samples of something, there are two things you can do. You can just take one and everyone else can have one and there is no problem at all and they will continue to allow the free samples. Or, you could, since it is all free, take all of the samples for yourself and no one else will get any, and the store will stop providing them and everyone loses because you were greedy.

If we all just use a small amount a month, I'm very sure that there will be no problem with the carrier and we all can enjoy the exeperience

Hello, First post and first Android device.

I am in the middle of rooting my xoom and have come to nearly the last step. The file "adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su" returns a " No such file or directory " error. I have gone through the sdk tool folder as well as searched every folder on my C drive, and no such file exists. I have also downloaded the xoomwifiroot zip more than once to make sure the one I had wasnt corrupted. After searching xda forum and the net for several hours I can not find any answers. I have also not only typed it in many times, but have also copy/pasted it from xda as well as other forums.

I would appreciate any help that can fix this so I can enter the last couple lines and finish this.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab General] webrover83:
Hmm.... That's really weird. I'm not Dev, but the WPA_supplicant file ought to solve that problem.... Unless they (samsung) have blocked Ad-Hoc in the kernel. That would suck. I'd try a Voodoo kernel and see if that helps. $0.02.

hey everyone give this a try first

try this using terminal on your galay tab to change the permissions

download a terminal program from the market. when terminal is started type the following command below.

Su

Chmod 777 system/bin/wpa_supplicant

and see if it will connect.

If not I pulled the Nookcolors WPA_Supplicant file that has been edited. It is a wifi only device so it might work for you guys. What I am going to do is compare the regular tabs WPA file to Wifi only version and see what needs to be edited.

Donetus I haven't forgotten you.

That is a good thing as we are closer. I really need to get off my ass and try to fix it now. Gotta be just a few lines that need editing then. Did you try doing a chmod after you used the nookcolors wpa file. Try that I put the commands in the upper post.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a goldcard following steps given on http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-962013.html as I get a "CID incorrect" error when I try downgrading using the PD98IMG.zip

The problem is http://hexrev.soaa.me is no longer active.

Could anyone tell me what exactly it did? did it just reverse the pair of hex digits? or did it just reverse the whole hex string, or did it reverse picking each pair, and then put 2 zeros in front, replacing the 1st two bytes?

Or if you could paste in here your CID and the reverse CID so that I could make a guess.

Thanks :o
[Desire HD General] ideamonk:
Found the solution, the GoldCardTool_Subrata.exe tool or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823625 , lets me do the hexrev.soaa.me part - http://www.multiupload.com/7WA60DJ2TU

Now, has anyone been able to downgrade after the 1.84.720.3 OTA ?

Thx in advance.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Of course the downgrade is possible, just use the sticky downgrade guide.
[Desire HD General] ideamonk:
The missing bit was that I was picking cid from mmc0, while mmc2 is the one in my phone. Then doing a hexrev manually is not tough, just take two bytes in pairs and put them in reverse order, make first 2 zero.

Since GoldCardTool.exe won't allow you to get cid for mmc2 as in my case, you need to manually do hexrev in a notepad, then get the goldcard.img from psas.revskills.de , use psneuter to get temp root on adb, use misc_version to set to old version, put PD98IMG.zip, reboot to bootloader and bang :D

I went to check out the Atrix thread and Theres a way to get unlimited plan! I haven't tested it yet due to the equipment needed. Alright heres what you need. A iphone 2g. Yes it have to be 2g. Once you have a 2g iphone simply put your sim card in and activate it on itunes at home. When your activating it there will be a 20$ unlimited plan. Activate it and then tell att you want to be grandfather in. Its supposed to work haven't tried.

I "used" the iPhone 2g for 12 hours while my Inspire was getting "fixed" but in actuality I activated it before I went to bed and let it sit over night. The next day I called 611 and told the lady that I got my Inspire back. She said that I was now eligible to be grandfathered in to the unlimited data or go back to the 2gb plan. When I asked if this was a big deal she said no and that she's done it before for people... She was extremely helpful and courteous.

[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
As IM aware it will say you will get unlimited and 200 text but if your family plan have unlimited text then it wont matter. And yes just put it in and use itunes. The sim card can't be in a iphone before though.

Call att and tell them you got your inspire fix and was using the iphone 2g as a backup and want to start using it again. But tell them you want to keep the unlimited plan. If they say they can't hang up and retry till someone does it for you. Good luck!

I used a non-smartphone with an Unlimited plan then I got a used Captivate and stayed under the radar..... then I "commandeered" my fiancee's new Inspire and gave her the Cappy. The second I put my card in and powered it up I lost my Mobile Data Connection and needed to talk to an AT&T rep.

It's a hit or miss. I think the IMEI swap between the smart phones and the timing played a role. AT&T didn't start sweeping until recently and I swapped the dumb phone and Cappy over a year ago.

I totally disagree with the mysterious sweep thing. It's the phone and nothing but the phone that triggers the plan change.

As soon as I downloaded an app from the market with my new Inspire, I got the dreaded text from AT&T saying I'd been switched to an appropriate data plan, while she went right on trucking with her Tilt 2 with unlimited non-smartphone data.

I can confirm this is working; did it right when the Inspire was released. I didn't call them to tell them to grandfather me in. Instead, at the end of my billing cycle they sent me a text message saying I have an incompatible data plan and needed to contact them. I was able to simply chat with them on the AT&T website and got the unlimited smartphone personal data attached within 5 minutes. They are very nice and understanding.
