[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
You can get root that way on KB5, but you *cannot* install recovery on KB5. If you had recovery before KB5 and upgraded via CWM flashing, you still have CWM recovery. But if you ODIN or KIES to KB5, and then try to install CWM Recovery, it will fail and you will not be able to make it work.

Short version: Root on KB5 Possible. If you want CWM Recovery, you have to downgrade to an older build and get your Recovery working there, then upgrade using a CWM flashable ONLY.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnada:
I just want root. I have no intention of flashing ROMs. I'm on a pure stock KB5.

Can you tell me which steps in those instructions can be skipped, if any?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just follow this guide:

or go to this thread

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnada:
Ok. Looking at the Wiki instructions I see this:

2. Boot the Samsung Vibrant into download mode by holding down Volume Up & Volume Down while connecting the microUSB to it.

I'm trying to visualize this. It sounds like you hold down the power button, and the volume up/down rocker with one hand, while inserting the USB into the phone with the other hand. Is that right? How critical is the timing of inserting the USB?

I've searched YouTube but am not finding this specific "boot while inserting USB" procedure.

Also, from the instructions it appears I would be installing a non-stock kernel. Is that required just to get root?

By doing this are there implications for the upcoming GB upgrade from Samsung? In other words, would I need to undo something before doing a Kies GB upgrade?

Lastly, I see the "Voodoo/disable-lagfix" folder has to be created, and am wondering if those get installed by this procedure.

If I should be asking this somewhere else just let me know. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demetris:
Voodoo/disable-lagfix folders have to be created by you,

1.Vibrant power off

2. Volume Up & Volume Down

3. connect the microUSB to it but before the usb cable must be connected to your computer.

The kernel is patched so allows the superuser app to be installed over-writing bloatware unwanted stuff.

You can update to gb version but not recommended, when out of course ;)

i Recommend to you when we have a gb version to just flash the new radio or/and bootloader, and keep flashing cyanogen firmware through Recovery

Hope i helped
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnada:
Understand I need to create the folder, just wondering if Voodoo and lagfix get installed by this procedure automatically.

So, volume up and volume down, but don't press the power button to boot?

The complications are what I was concerned about. I don't need another hobby. I just want root. That's it. I want to be able to upgrade to stock GB when it's available. Sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth for the few things I want to do with root (block ads, etc).

If that's the case, no problem, I just want to understand before I proceed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
SuperOneClick doesn't work on KB5 Stock FroYo - at least not my phone. Just freezes at step 7 for like... ever.

Anyone can recommend an easy root app that has an unroot button? I just want to remove some bloatware that auto-starts...
[Android Software Development] schwartzman93:
Okay, so i asked this question a while back and didnt get much help, but I am extremely lost. My partner who before actually programmed the app put in the necessary stuff, however i dont think it works in froyo+. I am extremely new to programming in general, and i cannot for the life of me figure this out. I have even tried other codes, but they dont work. Can someone please give me a detailed description on how to make a clock widget open the alarm clock app.

BTW this is the code that we are using at the moment:
[Android Software Development] pmduque:
Hi,

I don't know if there's a better aproach, but this is the actual code I'm using to launch the alarm:

public static final Intent alarmIntent(Context context) {
PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
Intent alarmClockIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

// Verify clock implementation
String clockImpls[][] = {
{"HTC Alarm ClockDT", "com.htc.android.worldclock", "com.htc.android.worldclock.WorldClockTabControl" },
{"Standar Alarm ClockDT", "com.android.deskclock", "com.android.deskclock.AlarmClock"},
{"Froyo Nexus Alarm ClockDT", "com.google.android.deskclock", "com.android.deskclock.DeskClock"},
{"Moto Blur Alarm ClockDT", "com.motorola.blur.alarmclock", "com.motorola.blur.alarmclock.AlarmClock"},
{"Samsung Galaxy S", "com.sec.android.app.clockpackage","com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.ClockPackage"}
};

boolean foundClockImpl = false;

for(int i=0; i<clockImpls.length; i++) {
String packageName = clockImpls[i][1];
String className = clockImpls[i][2];
try {
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName(packageName, className);
packageManager.getActivityInfo(cn, PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
alarmClockIntent.setComponent(cn);
foundClockImpl = true;
} catch (NameNotFoundException nf) {
}
}
if (foundClockImpl)
return alarmClockIntent;
else
return null;
}

Hope it helps!

Unfortunately it didnt help me :(, Im not a programmer, and I dont know what Im supposed to do with this code and my partner is pissing me off
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
in order to launch an external activity from an appwidget you need to set a very specific flag on the intent you broadcast. mine was for launching gmail.

Intent mailClient = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
mailClient.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", "com.google.android.gm.ConversationListActivity");
[B]mailClient.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);[/B]
PendingIntent onClickPending = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, mailClient, 0);
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.gitc_widget_html);
rv.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.full_widget, onClickPending);

//then update Your Appwidgets
//AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
//manager.updateAppWidget(mAppWidgetId, rv);

and please realize that this was kinda a stub of what to do. i left alot out that was specific to my appwidget but that was needed for this to work. but the premise of creating an intent for what you want to launch then creating a pendingIntent and then attaching it to a view of your appwidget and then updating the remote view of you appwidget by using an AppwidgetManager holds true for any situation.

if you need me to elaborate then we can chat then.

-----

o and you aren't updating your appwidgets properly...

you need to get an array of all appwidgets you have and then call updateAppWidget on each like this (again, with my class names and such)

AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
int[] ids = manager.getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(context, GITextCloud.class));
for (int id : ids) {
manager.updateAppWidget(id, rv);
//rv is the RemoteViews you created earlier up in the program...
//RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.gitc_widget_html);
}
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
this isnt actually launching the clock application. you are just returning an intent that can be used to launch the clock application (still need to make a pendingIntent and attach it to a view). there is a difference and a new programmer could be very confused by this post.

other than that it looks like a nice way to find the class and package names for what clock is installed. =)

Hi,

I use a DZ with GingerVillain 1.5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893933) and my phone decided to not update my Mail / News etc. automatically.

I have 2 IMAP Accounts set up. One I set on updating every 5min, the other one on 10min. News is set on 1h. Sync of Google Account seems to work.

In the menu "Acc. & Sync" I have selected the two options (Background Data, autom. sync).

It often happens in the last weeks, that I get mails which are more than two hours old.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HLeenders:
Strange, are you sure you have not installed an app which changes the moments your phone checks for updates or something like that?

Other than that, the rom you are using is not likely to be updated.

Perhaps you could try this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991254

Not forcing you to change, but it could be an improvement for you.

I haven't had that problem with updating on my pop3 but I don't use the news or weather. The dev said on his website that he would start working on an update mid-april so maybe we will see some improvments on this rom soon.

I really consider to change my active ROM. I need a working ROM /w Mail and so on but WITHOUT HTC Sense - just a normal Google Android 2.3.3.

The link you gave me looks good. I'll give it a try, or Cygen Mod?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chyth:
I got the same problem in the ROM by xboarder.

Here is what I found out:

With SetCPU and Advanced Task Killer installed the Mail App seems to have issues while updating the IMAP account.

I then deinstalled setcpu and the task manager app and cleared the data of the mail app. then i set up the mail accounts again and for now it works again. I will keep an eye on this and will try to get the failure log with adb the next time the error occurs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HLeenders:
Glad to see that it is working again. FYI; Taskkiller is a notorious program on some custom roms. Furthermore Android does not need a taskkiller, you could use a taskmanager program to see which apps are eating CPU cycles without your knowledge thow.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chyth:
Yes, I realized this point while googling my problem. I just won't use task managers anymore and I think this will be the solution. Will try to use my beloved setcpu again in the next days after my work day test shows that the mail app work normally over a longer period of time.

Hi Guys,

I'm kinda stuck here, hope you'll be able to help:

Situation is as follows:

I have an HTC Leo, and after 2 months of usage - got the white screen:

1. Tried soft reset - no good

2. Tried hard reset - no good

3. Cannot sync to PC with ActiveSync - does not detect the device

4. Can go to boot mode, but only with voulme down+soft reset button :)

5. Cannot sync in boot mode as well - there appears to be a "USB" writing at the bottom, (white line on boot mode) though ActiveSync does not detect via usb?

6. Tried to install HSPL2 - starts to install, never finishes, proggress bar goes up and down forever (on PC) - I believe device needs to be synced before installing?

7. Device is enabled in the device manager, though cannot explore - thus no access to SD card

8. Here we go, I seem to do something wrong, PLEASE HELP, I payed for the device about 400E in my country, stock warranty is not an option

9. HEEEEEEEEEELP

10. Thanks!!!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Try flashing the stock ROM for your HD2 via SD card. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 then go to T-Mobile.com to download the ROM you will have to enter the IzmEI number from under your battery to download it. If you have a international HD2 go to HTC.com and enter your serial number that is under your battery to getca list of ROMs you can download and install on your HD2. If the ROM is a .exe you will have to right click it and renamecthe file .zip to view the contents. After that follow the instructions in the thread linked below to flash the ROM.

[Q] Thanks

Hi, thanks for the info,

When I go to HTC homepage, i find "Rom Upgrades" - is that the same as the ROM itself?

Sorry if the q is dum ,I'm completely new in this :)

And also - does the card have to be empty (only ROM in) so that the phone boots it?

Thanks again :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah that is what you are looking for. The ROM upgrades is the most recent official ROMs out for the HD2. Just make sure you use your serial number to make sure you get a ROM that is for your HD2 or you will not be able to flash it unless you get HSPL on your HD2. Also make sure the HTC site you are on is for your part of the world, your country or the country the HD2 originated from.
[HD2 General] yasho1984:
[Q] Hi again, last q

When I Explore the contents of the rom I see numerous files, and reading the instructions you linked tells me to rename an image. The ROM is an exe, so I renamed it to zip , explored and currently I see only one .nbh file:

RUU_signed.nbh

Should I rename this one to LEOIMG.nbh and copy this file only to SD card? Or rename and leave there, take the whole exe and put it into the SD Card?

Would that be sufficient to run the ROM in bootload?

Thanks again brother, you're a lifesaver
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Just take and copy the RUU_signed.nbh file make a copy ofcthe file and past it to your desktop and then rename it to LEOIMG.nbh then copy that file to the root of your SD card. All you have to have is the .nbh file but it has to be named LEOIMG.nbh.

You can also flash a radio, splash screen, and MAGLDR this way if need be. But you would still have to flash CWM via custom RUU via USB if you installed MAGLDR.
[HD2 General] yasho1984:
[HIHI]

Great - now "Radio fail" - update terminated... any ideas?

Exact error description:

00018003

LEOIMG.nbh - Fail

RADIO - Fail

Update Terminate

UPDATE FAIL

and this is an official HTC ROM?!?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry I had to get some sleep, anyway I suggest you first make a backup copy of your SD card and then reformat your SD card using the Panosonic Mick SD card formatting software, just Google it you will find it. Do a full wipe of hour cardcand format it using Fat 32. Then copy the LEOIMB.nbh to your card and try it again. Also try to use a card no bigger than a 8GB as bigger SD cards are prone to give people problems when flashing via SD card. Note I did not say they will notcflash a ROM, bit they sometimes give people trouble.

Also I forgot to tell you this morning that if your HD2 says USB in the white bar of bootloader and it also says HTC USB sync in the device manager in the control panel of your computer, then you have a Sync connection to your computer but you can not use this connection for anything bit to flash different software to your HD2.
[HD2 General] yasho1984:
[Q] Hi Buddy, 10x for staying so long :)

Sorry brother,

I really appreciate your help so far.

Same Sh*t - even after FAT 32 format

When tried to upgrade with the official HTC ROM - "RUU_signed...." (not via SD) HTC boot screen appeared, but after 1% said : Image corrupted". It coud be that the stock rom sucks big time. May be try with some Artemis?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah maybe you got a bad download of the ROM. If that was the only official ROM you could down load. I would try to download it againcand delete the first copy you downloaded, or I would flash HSPL. to my HD2 and then try to flash the stock ROM are a custom ROM. Custom ROMs are better than stock ROMs anyway. Just remember though if you have a warranty and you need to send your HD2 in for warranty work or exchange you need to revert your HD2 back to complete stock. This means ROM, radio, and SPL.

G2X bootloader is wide open (Cyanogen's next device!), Sensation is locked. So choice is pretty obvious.
[Vibrant General] raduque:
I haven't decided yet. I need to see some reviews and "usability benchmarks" (ie: how well the devices respond in general usage). The Vibrant puts down good benchmarks, but fails in everyday usability (it's laggy to respond, even with bionix, voodoo kernels, overclock). I think Samsung's source is to blame; they just can't write good code.

This is a non-issue for me. I'm getting fairly well tired of constantly flashing devices, downtime, **** being broken, waiting for code, etc. I just want a device that works.
[Vibrant General] Hexmaster93:
Definitely the sensation. Better screen more ram, gingerbread and its one sexy beast of a phone. Since its an htc device then it'll definitely get cyanogenmod
