[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
Alright. I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing this right.

I am rooted, first of all. Samsung Fascinate. (Galaxy S)

Android 2.1

Downloaded a Wireless Tether app and was granted superuser permission.

It's working, as far as internet. I'm using it right now, for internet on my laptop.

Since I'm rooted and not using the Verizon's pre-installed tether app, I'm not being charged for the usage, am I? Thanks.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
hi everyone.

i expected that there is

-GSM WILDFIRE (which supports all gsm networks)

-CDMA WILDFIRE (which is manufactured by specific cdma networks in association with htc)

but i havent heard of this G8 WILDFIRE untill today. i made a google search of G8 WILDFIRE and came to know that, yes it is there.

i would like to know what is this G8 WILDFIRE. is it a cdma device.

and i would like to know the similarities and differences between GSM, CDMA and G8 WILDFIREs

actually, i would like to know the similarities and differences of them regarding rooting, unrooting, and ROM UPDATE UTILITY processes.

like to know if there are RUUs for G8 wildfire. if so give me the download links.

[Droid 2 General] vcarl:
I've been having problems with listening to music over my bluetooth headset. Sometimes the music stops and when I press play again, it starts the song over. It's usually just a minor annoyance, but every so often it does it several times in a row within a few minutes, which is usually followed by my phone rebooting itself.

This has happened on both Fission 2.4.3 and the leaked Verizon Gingerbread prerelease, both of which I did a clean install on (factory wipe, cache reset, the whole deal). Anyone have anything similar? Or just me?

Headset is a Motorola Rokr, if that helps.

Good it seems that you can upgrade timescape with market but where is the downloadable file?
[XPERIA X10 General] tiwey:
I don't have it.... if I were running stock rom I would extract it, but I'm tripnmiui and it's not appearing lol
[XPERIA X10 General] ProtoKun7:
What annoys me about this is not only failure to inform us about the launch of Sony Ericsson's channel in the Market, but the complete lack of ability to change the option. I don't expect to use this (I don't even use Timescape), and it pushes "My Apps" down to a menu option. It's more convenient when it was on screen, and this just makes it more awkward, even if only a relatively minor thing.

I'm actually hoping for ways to disable this or return the Market to a standard setting. As it stands now, I've been given an update that I didn't ask for, I don't want and won't use. Sure, it means My Apps is only another button click away, but it's still frustrating that they did this without asking.
[XPERIA X10 General] FarmerBobSE-X10:

[XPERIA X10 General] 1Learning:
The market update for sony ericcson button hits those running stock SE ROM. So if you're running custom ROM, you probably won't see it. I don't think carrier ROM's have it either (yeah, they're custom ROM's in their own way).
[XPERIA X10 General] ProtoKun7:
If a custom ROM nullifies it, that gives me a little more motivation to test some out...

S-off

Is there a way to get S-off without using the SIM attachment thing (sorry don't know proper name for it), for example, like the HD2, is there a program that you can run that will enable S-off. if not is it possible to roll back the radio or something so that this can be done. (If this is all rubbish then I apologise, still getting used to HTC after my x10 mini pro)
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
With the ol' Desire, you can root it even if it's S-ON...

Why with Desire S can't?
[HTC Desire S] aiman190:
S-off

Dunno, have tried with superoneclick to try and root it but the dialog box gets stuck on waiting for device, might try some others such as visionaryor z4root.
[HTC Desire S] norocel:
I know,aparently i have the same problem and nobody was kind enough to help us.

Edit:i think is de A>DB driver,wich i cannot find it,anyone any ideas?`tryed to update from nexus oen adb driver but does not recognize it.

Could PLEASE anyone do a better description:

Which mode has the desire to be when plugging usb? "load" or "htc sync" or *?*

Which driver do you use? (My Win7 says "storage device" also when I do NOT mount as usb-device - I guess it should be "htc xy")

Did you debugging on or off when starting "root"?

Do I have to install the htc sync software onto PC?
[HTC Desire S] baste07:
when you say your DS is now S-off... did it come from S-ON? how did you do it?
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
Mine was s-on and simlocked (by orange).

Was there

http://www.entsperren.net/

to remove the simlock. EUR 20,- for that.

And now it's s-off (because they had to do a goldcard I guess)
[HTC Desire S] BRONSON29:
Finally I have managed to root my desire s I have s-off if u have PG88IMG.ZIP remove boot-signed and add the insecure boot to the zip from one off the files in the desire forums. And then use superoneclick it will work. Here is the link from were I got the insecure img from hope that it helps every one that has s off. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999397
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
damn... ****... dude... that was exactly what i´m looking for.

i´m playing around with this RG88IMG file for more than 36h but didn´t found that ROM in the desire forum. that unsecured bootimage was the key to root my phone too. even if it was s-off nothing would work. but this one does.

build my own PG88IMG.zip with the unsecured boot image and after flashing it i get adb root and could use the exploit from superonklick root tool.

so if you have the same problem like me, that superoneklick tool hangs at "Running psneuter" than you should give this a try.

this works only on s-off devices. all you s-on´s you have to wait for other options or find someone with a xtc clip.

download the PG88IMG-unsecured_bootimg.zip rename it to "PG88IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. than reboot into hboot and wait.

bootloader will automaticly chack this file (ignore the security flag ;-) ) and flash this unsecured boot.img.

reboot your phone and use superoneklick tool the normal way.

rename the PG88IMG.zip to something else or the bootloader will try to flash it every time when the phone starts in bootloader.

hope this will help those who could root even with s-off.

thanks dude.... your my hero of the week :-D

[HTC Desire S] Marc M:
S-OFF

I have recently upgraded to a Desire S from the Hero before knowing that HTC, in their infinite wisdom, had locked down all their new handsets.

Fortunately, I have arranged to use an XTC Clip owned by a fellow XDA member so should be able to S-OFF my DS as soon as the clip arrives.

Quick question though, on my Hero I had Amon Ra recovery, which allowed me to backup my entire ROM and apk's (think it was called BART backup) and get out of jail if any ROMs I flashed bricked the phone.

Is the clockworkmod recovery a similar piece of code, to allow backups, disaster recovery, flashing new ROM's etc? Must these be coded individually for specific devices?

So once I gain S-OFF with the XTC Clip, then run Gingerbreak to gain perm root, will I still not have any form of recovery partition (is that the correct phrase) on my handset?

Apols in advance if my questions appear blatantly obvious.

[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
i don't think u will get amon-ra for desire s ;)
[HTC Desire S] jfran:
Recently got the DS for a good bargain not realising that HTC made rooting and S-Off so difficult. Coming from a Desire, I must admit things were so much more fun :)

Just wish there was some possibility of obtain the XTC Clip at a cheaper price. Anyway am hopeful that a viable solution becomes available in the near future.
