[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafu6:
Hello

First of all i apologise if this is in the wrong section.

I'm pretty new to WP7 and smartphone development as a whole. I recently saw a engadget video which showcased the HP Touchpad which seems pretty cool but it had an interesting trick, which i am also lead to believe that the Playbook can also do which is bridge to its relivent mobile, (Touchpad -> Pre3, Playbook -> Blackberries) for incoming calls and text messages.

Now i understand, correct me if im wrong, that microsoft currently have Windows 7 tablets in the market but wont be introducing Windows Phone 7 tablets any time in the future if it all, due to the rumour of the awesome intergration between the new Windows for PC (tablet maybe) and Phone, Windows 8 maybe??

Now i am of understanding that Microsoft released some new API to Devs for the Fall (hopefully, fingers crossed, touchwood) update "Mango".

I was wondering if anyone even at the min has been able to produce an app and/or desktop intergreation that will allow me to work and/or play on my Windows 7 Laptop and leave my phone on charge in another room, and get some sort of similar pop menu to let me know who is calling me if my phone rings or a little pop up menu so you can reply to a text message with out getting up to find my phone etc. This may seem lazy but i think it would be pretty awesome, maybe this is even impossible from a Dev point of view and it would have to come from Microsoft itself. I know i can Sync my phone wirelessly with Zune which is awesome and i can also track and remote wipe my phone so something like what ive suggested qould be pretty cool too.

Now i know answer calls via my Laptop/Tablet from my phone would be EXTERMLY complicated but surely something that pops up telling you who is calling or a pop up text message would be easier to do. Maybe it would work with bluetooth rules (10 meters devices paired etc) bluetooth laptops only or something similiar, maybe after all rambling you can even do this now.

Anybody else have any thoughts on what i've said or tried to say??

Anyone and Everyone input would be great on this.

Cheers

Hey guys, so I am a total Noob and totally new to the Android scene.

I actually got my Defy yesterday and installed this ROM via RSDLite.

It worked great!

But actually I do not know how to root it. Does anyone know how I can achieve root on this phone?

It is a phone that I bought independently from an E-Tailer in Germany, if it helps!

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Defy General] Citynomad:
Easy ;)

1. Download Superoneclick from THIS thread.

2. Go to Einstellungen->Anwendungen->Entwicklung and enable USB-Debugging.

3. Start Superoneclick.

4. Connect your phone in "Portal und Tools" mode.

5. Click ROOT.

6. Wait a minute or two until it has finished and enjoy your rooted phone.
[Defy General] FifaFrancesco:
Oh thank you so much!!

It worked great!

[Samsung Mesmerize] ruswood:
I have user superclean and pick n pack roms and tried several kernels but for some reason when I get a notification the sound is extremely laggy and weird sounding I t doesn't do it as bad if the screen is awake but when its off its real bad. Ive even tried moving the tones to the phone memory under notification sounds and its still the same way. It doesn't do this on phone calls just notifications. Is there something in the voodoo control app causing this? I had replaced my old showcase with this new one as I messed the other one up and I never had this problem with it. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Mesmerize] GStone:
I have had that happen a few times but not consistently. A battery pull usually takes care of it for me.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ruswood:
Yeah ive tried that and it seems to make it better for z little bit but then starts happening again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBatRFan:
Hey everyone, just a general question about flashing i9000 ROMs. Obviously they have quite a selection over there, and I was just wondering how one would go about porting and flashing them?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ytt3r:
You'll need a reoriented kernel. Not too hard to come by, look for exaliburinhand's threads in captivate development
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBatRFan:
What if I'm flashing a 2.2 ROM? I don't want to mess with Gingerbread at the moment.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Xcal also has a reoriented kernel for 2.2. You can dl out from dev thread, or from SGS TOOLS (kernels are under rom tools).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBatRFan:
Awesome. How would I use the reoriented kernel with the i9000 ROM? Just flash through CWM? And what if I want to flash a different kernel? (Onix, SpeedMod, etc...)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Put the redbend_ua and zImage files from the kernel in the updates folder of the rom zip. Overwriting the others. And flash the whole rom in cwm. One stop shopping.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
I was thinking SGS Kernel Flasher (which I've used several times with good results).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
extra step thats not needed if you know what kernel/modem you want to use in place of whats in the rom zip
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBatRFan:
Ok, so can someone take me through flashing an i9000 ROM in semi-noob terms?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
WOW, I hope to see an interesting turnout:D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nomisunrider:
Just looks like a different type of gaining root?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
It's a new exploit. It worked on my friend's Evo 4G here at work, but I haven't tested it on the Atrix yet. If it works on 1.57, it might make getting root that much easier for us. Looking at the exploit he's using, it's very unreliable as it's an overflow exploit and not a logic exploit like most of the other current methods.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
Ririal, seeming that this root method works for the telstra sbf, and we should be able to do cwm recovery, do you still think we should be waiting for the bell sbf? What is the "worst case" here? A bad flash before cwm backup?

Does anyone know if there are any different versions of the bell atrix so that the telstra would not work reliably on all bells?

on my at&t atrix, 1.5.7
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
so this worked? no more beforeupdate/afterupdate.bat needed now?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
I'm pretty sure that the idea worked. You'll probably still have to wait for some kind of script to come out before getting it to work. At least unless you're clever enough to figure it out yourself. Based on what I saw in the new Telstra SBF root thread, it needs to be copied to an external SD, and then running it will obtain temp root. From there, you have to copy over busybox and such. Not sure if this will be the exact process of ATT atrix, but I guess we will find out soon enough.

Is anyone working on scripting out a version of this root for 1.57? Perhaps this will work for the new OTA update also...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
I tried running this apk that someone put together from this exploit on 1.57

http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/zimperlich.apk (it was in the comments of that blog post)

It ran successfully, but no SU available afterwards. :confused:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Download Root Checker from the market. Sometimes you're rooted but the su icon is not there.

If root checker says you're rooted.. then you just download superuser from the market.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I thought the atrix had a built in busybox already? Isnt that why super oneclick caused problems? I thought thats why DG came out with aroot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] janjan:
Yes the zimperlich.apk works just tried with atrix157deodex. sd card must be unmounted and then just push the Superuser.apk. yes

need to push the zimperlich.apk through adb.

1: adb install zimperlich.apk

2: unmounted the sd card

3: run the zimperlich.apk when it crash then just push the Superuser.apk (I ran the zimperlich.apk 3 or 4 times)

4: Use SuperOneClickv in case of sideloading. (just run Allow Non Market Apps)

belive me it works for me :-)

Note: I have enabled sideloading with root before. I flashed and tried GingerBlur, and GladiAtrix and lastly flashed atrix157deodex which is not rootet. the used the upper steps to obtain root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Problem with the APK is that you need sideloading enabled to run it, which you need root to enable (on AT&T phones, anyway), so it's a catch-22.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
already had SU from when i was rooted before the update.... tried checking in terminal with SU and it didnt work.

Im retrying now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
If you enabled sideloading with root before upgrading to 1.57 you should still have sideloading. Atleast I do, i just dont have root... so this would keep me from having to downgrade just to root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Just retried the zimperlich.apk on stock 1.57 using the way janjan did. Still nothing.

Reinstalled superuser.apk and rootchecker.... no root.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nowise:
Not working here either. Stock 1.57. Unmounted SD card and all that jazz, tried rebooting, reinstalling superuser, etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
As far as I know, this method is far from a permanent root solution right now. It's just a proof of concept more than anything else.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Seems like it. Too bad, I was excited to root with out having to downgrade.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] janjan:
ups my bad need to push the zimperlich.apk through adb.

1: adb install zimperlich.apk

2: unmounted the sd card

3: run the zimperlich.apk when it crash then just push the Superuser.apk (I ran the zimperlich.apk 3 or 4 times)

4: Use SuperOneClickv in case of sideloading. (just run Allow Non Market Apps )

Wonder if you need the internal storage mounted...hmm
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nowise:
Had both internal and SD card mounted. Also backed up my SD card because I read some were getting formatted.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChongoDroid:
I formatted my sd and enabled debugging then opened the app and it was finished in under a minute. Confirmed with a cwm backup:P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Hmm I dont have an sd card at all... it does say it requires one, that could be my issue. We'll see.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Do you have an actual SD card, or only the built in storage?

Im getting the feeling it actually requires a SD card
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nowise:
I do. An old 2GB card.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Ah, then i think my theory is correct... it needs an actual physical SD card installed and mounted. Im trying it one last time with the internal storage mounted and then will try with a sd card and see what works.

Yeah...didn't try without since it said you need it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Yep. Tried it without multiple ways. it does infact NEED a physical SD CARD, just the internal built in storage is not enough.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChongoDroid:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
Did you just use the v1.1 app or seven2099 script?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
Man, just before another update is being released? I am a huge fan of masterful jailbreaking methods, but it worries me that they will simply jump on whatever route this takes and nail it down... This is super great, I just hope it lasts us through the next update! Think I would've waited to release this until after the impending update so as to maybe have it work on that too!

...friggin anti-all-things-good-on-my-Atrix Motorola... :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
like seven2099 said this root method is good for up to 2.3.2 so motorola cant really do anything with the 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 android os that would stop this root method from working...thats what he was saying anyways
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
This exploit has nothing to do with the Atrix or Motorola. This is a massive security flaw in the core Android OS. Motorola would be failing their users not to patch this ASAP. There's nothing to be upset about. A malicious user could use this method to completely destroy your phone. We're simply using this to root our phones, but what if someone took this method, said "HEY HERE'S SOMETHING TO ROOT YOUR PHONE" and instead it datamined your phone for personal information and sent it to some remote location? You wouldn't be upset when Motorola patched it then ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
Oh, I am sure that this is possible... But, if someone chooses to install something some random guy called "Ririal" (insert anyone's name here) says is cool shtuff, that person is responsible for knowing what they are installing- whether by examining what they are installing carefully or by having someone they explicitly trust xamine it for them. Failing at that, the person should not hold ANYTHING against Google or Motorola for any security flaw that the person willfully exploited, even if "Ririal" (or whoever) says it's clean.

^^^^^ My opinion- I don't expect too much in terms of security. I just want my OS to keep malicious code from doing things when I don't actively allow it. :)

(Oh, and no offense was meant at ALL, Ririal. I was just using you as an example to illustrate my point: No one can expect to be safe or have help from G or M if they stray from the beaten path. Watch your step, users; here be dragons!)
