I have been following many several threads on this board and others about lack of updates for the Samsung Focus and other devices stuck (suck) with ATT.

Outside of the cellphone world, I am a Samsung Factory trained technician for Samsung Business Telephone Systems. My experience with Samsung over the years, has been, that even though Samsung produces some very compelling devices, equipment, they seem to be severely lacking of any effort to provide usable updates . Instead, would rather you buy the next big thing, commercial, industrial, military, etc. They are selling for today and leave behind any who are not willing to upgrade.

Got a clue where this marketing strategy came from?

The good old USA.

Samsung feeling infrerior, errors are covered up in the marketing babble.

Kind of thinking this may be holding things up a bit.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
Are we waiting for an update from Samsung? Or is it an update from Microsoft, which has been delivered and is being "tested" by AT&T?
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
not waiting on anything myself
[Focus General] Bjd223:
It is the carriers holding it up. There were a few MS employee tweets that said the first update (pre-nodo) was done in Dec 2010 but the carrier's were holding it up a lot.

I assume the same is the case for the second update (no do /copy n' paste). As far as I know Mango is already done too and they just need to work with mfgs to get it into customer roms for each model. Then of cource ATT will have to test it for 3-6 months...
[Focus General] MartyLK:
According to some sources, the NoDo update will be out later this month for the AT&T devices. Whether that happens or not is anybody's guess.
[Focus General] nycny:
May be Samsung specific

My experience has been that even whithin the same product line, different equipment levels may be supported, or not, though you need a different patch to make each version accesible to on going maintainence. Very fractured infrastructure is why I stopped supporting their Business Telephone line of products.
[Focus General] phoenixnr:
Your issue is with AT&T not Sammy I'm afraid. I've had my nodo for some weeks now. (Rogers, Canada)
[Focus General] nycny:
Not feeling very comfortable with either right now

How's nodo going for you?
[Focus General] phoenixnr:
No complaints. Much to do about nothing though IMHO. Cut and Paste and thats about it..... Waiting patiently for Mango now. :)

If you only deleted your browser cookies. Then its no issue. It will rebuild itself. Infraction I delete my cookies once a week.

How are you guys formatting and partitioning your sd cards?

I tried using AmonRa on my Desire but it can't convert to ext3. I would ulitmately like ext4 (for large file sizes and journaling) but I need it to be readable by my mac.

So what file system?

What tool to partition?

What partitions? (any swap?, what ext version?, any FAT?)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redram38:
I have a problem that I do not know if it is Rom related or not. I am using Midnight Journal on and after a few hours my ringer and notification volume gets very very low. I never had this issue before Voodoo Sound and did not know if anyone else is having this issue. If I reboot the phone the volume returns to normal. I also use a2dp bluethooth so I am not sure it is causing the speaker to not work normal when I turn Bluethooth off. Any Ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I am not seeing this on my phone; I am using journaling off though.

Nor do I use Bluetooth.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igoth76:
I'm having a similar issue. After a while my ringtones and notifications won't play (or are so very low I cannot hear them), I must mention though that this only happens with ones I have downloaded. I've also noticed at the same time this happens, I cannot stream any media (video or sound). A reboot of my phone also fixes this. I'm currently running Midnight v5.0 but I've also had this happen on SyndicateROM Frozen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redram38:
My problem seems to be when I am on bluethooth the sound will only come through the bluethooth device and not the phone. When I turn the BT off the sound is through the phone but very very low. I have to reboot to get the sound back. It may also be being caused when I am using the headphone jack in the car and after I unplug it. I will have to test this and see if this is the problem. I don't think the speaker is bad because after rebooting the sound is normal again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
What it actually does is misroute the audio through the phone speaker. It is damn annoying.

Out of the blue, my phone just stopped being able to receive or make phone calls. It started yesterday (Phoenix Unleashed). When I toggle airplane mode, it seems to work but stops again soon after.

I just flashed Firefly and have the same issue...

I never had this issue before. Any ideas on what this could be?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
i just got a thunderbolt and i want to rooted.. Mind you i have no idea how to do it or even know whats a kernel or a rom.. But my brother in law has an EVO and he got his rooted and he says that the thunderbolt dont have potential so i want to root mines and drop bombs on his.... I saw a thread on rooting step by step but i would like some one to help me.. starting by getting the drives and all that cool stuff so please guys someone help me.. please i would apreciate...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
First thing you'll want to do is head over to the developer section and read the stickies and the instructions, familiarize yourself with Android and with ADB (I don't recommend 1-step-rooting). Make sure you're careful in what you're doing as deviation from the SOP may cause your new Thunderbolt to be as usefull as a rock. I promise you, if you take the time to read everything that's involved, the learning curve isn't as steep.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
Im preety familiar with the whole android thing.. but is there a step in particular so i can root it in one shot.. can you email me please.. joseanspot@gmail.com

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
I bought the TBolt on release date. I rooted it the day the exploit came out. I followed the directions as a total newbie to Android (albeit not to *IX).

I knew my way around a command prompt and a debugger (gdb), and I didn't copy/paste the commands because I'm OCD.

Nevertheless, having known nothing about android nor about "rooting" my phone, I found that everything I needed -- all the knowledge to complete the task -- was found right here on XDA. The directions to manually root your phone are so simple, really, that I could probablly teach a 10 year old to do it!

So I suggest just reading up, not try to take shortcuts, and ask questions that are relevant and not "sendz me a 1click rootz plzkthx".
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
You better just read up. What if you mess something up? Are you really going to get on here and wait for someone to fix it? Learn rather than ask for answers spoon fed to you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
ok ok.. let see if u guy can help me with this... i got the adb drive thing.. i did everything step by step and wen i go to the cmd and change directory it kicks me back to my users name.. i can give the link to the viedeo were im getting it from maybe u can help me..

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madfatter:
why did you make another post with the same question as your last post. Why do you even need to root your phone? What do you hope to do once rooted? Spam the themes app section with more stupid posts? Honestly just be happy with the stock device, judging by the way you talk, refuse to search for any information yourself, and repeatedly beg for help, you are not ready to root. You are going to be the same guy spamming the dev boards for help after you have bricked your device due to lack of following directions. Its not a hard process, I only got into android last october and I have successfully rooted my Dinc, Nook Color( which was a beast flashing and whatnot in the early days when you had to dd a image, lol) an aria and my bolt. I never bricked anything, and I never felt the need to make a useless lazy post begging for help. The answers aare all here, stop being a lazy **** and READ. I am so tired of seeing total idiots on here needing help with root. If you cant be bothered to just follow directions, chances are you are going to screw something up. people like you are pretty much destroying XDA

Get an iPhone and give the Thunderbolt to someone who knows what they are doing and can form a sentence correctly. Then we don't need to go through with this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
ahh cut him some slack, i always encourage anyone, no matter what, to root their device and take control of what they paid for back from the carriers.

anyway just read the tutorials, it will be tested and safe, and just follow step by step.

also i pissed myself about dropping bombs on his phone!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
Ok i got recomended this forum if i need help. And im doing exactly that.. if you guy cant help me why even write stupid and noncense shi*. I didnt ask for no ones opinion. And i did got the iphone first but i was more familiar with the adroid. I've done read everything and i actually tried it last night. And the i had a problem with the ADB. And i rooted my intercept it was my last phone. So if you guys can direct me to another way other then that ADB I WOULD APRECIATED.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesilverhawk:
no...just no.... omg dude are you twelve, lol. You need to use ADB. Period. stop whining because you can't figure it out and if you do not find xda helpful, there is a little red x in the corner of your browser. Click it, I am sure xda will not miss you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
Wow you mad..lol i guess is not the adb im having problems with.. wen i put in the commands in the cmd it sends me back to my username.. thats my problem. And why do you guys keep insulting me, im just asking questions..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Obvious:
Ok lets start with the basics first. Do you have ADB installed? You say youre not new to the "whole Android" thing, so im gonna go out on a limb and assume that you know what ADB means. If not I suggest you GOOGLE it and find out what it means and then, download ADB and install it. Second off if your using Windows you need to know if youre on a 32bit or 64bit OS, OR if youre on linux you need to figure out what distro you have and install in through terminal (nemesis2all has a step by step thread on how to) GOOGLE will be youre savior.

Next after you install your ADB drivers you need head over to the Android Development section and look at the S-off/ Permaroot thread and read it step by step. Of course you need to check to make sure ADB is working correctly which you should have already done ie..

TYPE: adb devices

-list devices attached-

Follow the steps that are listed to a tee and dont try to skip anything.

There is a Thunderbolt fossnet channel where you can ask for help.

Your brother in law who has an EVO used a program called Unrev0ked3 which is a plug and click program that does all the work for you. With the thunderbolt, its all done manually, even the "one click" methods still require ADB use. In all honesty if you dont know ADB please leave youre phone alone. There are lots of great people on here as well as in IRC that will help but if youre going to be stupid and say you know things then come back 2 min later asking the same questions you won't recieve much if any help.

Do some research on rooting the Thunderbolt before jumping in, this phone is still very young in its developing stages and if you mess up it requires manual fixing.

PS: I apologize for the improper grammar, my girlfriend is waiting for me to come join her so I'm in a rush to get this typed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patdroid1:
very well said mr. obvious (lol hard to say that without sounding sarcastic...nice!)

just to add one thing, i used s/off permaroot method with very very very little adb knowledge and worked fine...just follow the steps exactly and instead of typing you can copy and paste each command one by one...makes easier and faster.

good luck
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hogowner:
I sent you a PM
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Obvious:
Yes the method doesn't require any real knowledge of ADB commands for the fact EVERYTHING is copy and paste, just don't skip any lines and make sure all of your MD5 sums are matched correctly and proceed with the steps. IF you would like the link to the IRC channel I will post it below this. May I ask a question (I'm going to anyways)

Why do you want to root?

If you don't know what a ROM/Kernel is, then what makes you want to root?

No bashing just I'm curious, and I'm always here for help, I'm usually on IRC channel #samsung-fascinate

Fossnet channel #thunderbolt

And my username is ObviousOne if you need help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Obvious:
Official channel for Thunderbolt help.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
Ok well i want to root because that way i can use my cellphone to its full potential. I have an idea of what roms and kernels are... And about the comands as soon as i hit platform ** to see if the adb is connected to the phone it brings my name up.. thats where im stuck other than that i can do it just fine. Oh and thanxx alot man.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesilverhawk:
did you navigate the command prompt to the directory where you installed adb. I think its c:\sdk\platform-tools with that installer package
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Obvious:
To the post above me yes that's the Windows command. If your on Linux you should type "cd desktop"

Then start. That's assuming you have extracted to your desktop.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Obvious:
Ok, well thats a legit reason for wanting to root your phone.

Now about your commands, when you plug your phone into the computer it should say installing HTC sync/ software. and when it finishes you czn unplug it and when you replug back into the computer it should start up verizon site also.

Now to make sure adb is working all you have to do is start Command Prompt OR Terminal Emulator, and type "adb devices" and if it list your device then your good to go, if not you need to make sure your files and exploits are in the corrrect place if they are you need to make sure you navigate to them.

Cheers.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboltking:
yes wen i put that command brings me back to ther username and is not reading device.

shoul i go ahead and put the commands in anyhow..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Obvious:
No, you shouldn't it means ADB is int set up correctly. OR your not navigating to the correct folder first... your screen should look like this, if its set up correctly.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IISiDeK1CKII:
I have no idea how similar OS X and the distro's of Linux are, but I wrote up a pretty comprehensive guide to rooting. If they are similar, it could be of some assistance. if not, well... meh

[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Download the stock ruu, rename it PG05IMG boot into bootloader and load it up
[Thunderbolt General] jrdfox:
What is the bootloader and were do I get it?
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
How did you root without knowing what the bootloader is?

Assuming you can use adb, the command is "adb reboot bootloader" without the quotes of course.
[Thunderbolt General] jrdfox:
Thanks, know what it is now!
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
For some reason it is not working for me to paste a link, but there is a sticky in the development section. If you are actually rooted surely you have seen the bootloader, but it might be wise to do a little more research.
[Thunderbolt General] roudiare:
So, I've got my TB and have installed an earlier version of Swype (Evo).

I love that swype works great, except for the auto space with the stock SMS (Handcent FTW).

I've tried Dolphin Mini/HD, FF and Miren. I gotta say that I'm loving Miren, but because Swype auto space doesn't work at all, I'm back to the stock browser.

One of the things I love is being able to just type in search words in the browser bar, but I have having to erase the "http://www." everytime in the stock browser.

For example, if I want to search for "amsterdam", I go to the top, touch the browser bar, and see that everything is highlighted...EXCEPT for the "http://www."

So I need to manually delete/clear out the "http://www.", then go back and swype "amsterdam" to search from the bar.

Is there anyway to have the stock browser take out the "http://www." on the Thunderbolt as a default?

p.s. does Miren support swype auto space...if so, how?
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
I know what you're talking about and it's really annoying. On the Droid X, the browser would just clear out the whole bar. On the TB, i have forced myself into the habit of pressing the search button in browser when I want to search for something.

I must say I like the HTC browser much more than the Moto one, but the way it fills in http:// is just annoying as all hell.
[Thunderbolt General] BotsOne:
I noticed that http bug in the stock browser as well. I'm sure it will get addressed soon (pardon the pun derp I couldn't help it.) As far as browsers not auto-spacing that's because those browsers use the address bar both for searching and for URLs, and there's no way for your keyboard know which one you are typing. I've been using opera for a while now, it's super fast since it's the only browser that uses hardware acceleration at this point, plus it has a separate address bar and search bar. Give it a try, you'll probably like it.
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
I don't think my browser does that. Then again if I'm going to do a search while in the browser I just hit the search button.
[Thunderbolt General] wrb123:
with the browser open, just tap the search soft key :)
[Thunderbolt General] modidlee:
I would rather leave it the way it is. I think they actually put a lot of thought into how this works and intended it to be that way. It assumes that if you're tapping the address bar you wanna type an address. How annoying would it be if you had to type the http..... every time. Just use the search button.
[Thunderbolt General] Morkai Almandragon:
I would rather they bloody ask.. IE made options for that crap.
[Thunderbolt General] magicriggs:
Check out the extra settings in the browser. It might be in there I would check for you but I don't have time. But I can direct you where to look. Go to browser> type in the url about:debug > hit enter or go whichever. It shouldn't do anything to the page but what will happen is if you hit menu> more> settings. It will give you much more edit menus. Give it a try.
[Thunderbolt General] Morkai Almandragon:

All,

I upgraded to Vegan Gingerbread Edition without any problem.

Before performing the upgrade I backed up all my App Data

Including my purchased copy of ES Explorer.

I was able to restore my apps then I used NVFlash to change my BootLogo

I then sought to change the BootAnimation

Instruction say to longpress on the BootAnimation file to change the Permission

I don't have a permission option

How can I recover the apps I bought in the market
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
I've always had better luck with root explorer for changing permissions and modifying files like build.prop. As for getting your apps back, if your moving from a froyo based rom its best to download the apps from the market first and then use TB to restore app data only. Any purchased apps should show up in the "My Apps" section of the market.

How can I remove DarkTremor's Script from a rom that already has it installed into it?

I'm looking for the way to remove his script from a rom that already has his script in the rom.

I'm not saying that his script is bad or anything; I just want to test something and DT's script might conflict with it

Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Well the only way really is flash a diffrent rom like sense, since it doesn't support DarkTremor or back up everything on your sd card and format it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derykisonder:
That's not true actually, in the past I've used sense and darktremor's script and it worked.

Thanks anyway, but I'm looking for a way to 'remove' all scripts related to his script so it doesn't conflict with another script I'm going to be using
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
So the ROM package has it built in? I'd just find a similar ROM (if it's based off CM or MIUI) and flash that. The only other way would be to delete all the scripts in your ROM that you find in DT's A2SD package. Though insterting it pre-flash while the ROM is being built goes about installing it a bit differently I think but hopefully you can figure out what it does and reverse it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Oh I see. Really every time I go to a sense rom, I can't make any the commands work but maybe that's just me... am not really to sure then.
