I'm not even sure how long it's been anymore, but I am still working on this...

Okay, so I think I'm just going to swipe my wife's phone and root it while she is not looking...

My question is this: Is there a guide that will tell me how to 1. root (then unroot) her phone and 2. create a backup of her firmware that I can install on my phone. Also, if said backup can be used with Odin, I will be happy to share it here since it seems to be lacking and much needed.

Ok so I finally got drivers for my streak installed on my vista 32 box now what do I need on my pc to do fast boot? And how does it work

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garbagecanman:
Never people after a few hours i was first able to find the dell drivers from a dell sever, then the computer saw the streak, then i downloaded SDK, then CWM and after some more digging was able to flash it and am currently backing up using nandroid :)

Once its backup i should be able to flash streakmod 1.9 and go back to stock right?

Hi All,

The music player seems to skip the end of certain songs when played over bluetooth at least (Sony HBH-IS800). I'll have to try it on some wired headphones to see if it has anything to do with BT, but has anyone else had this problem? Happened on the stock ROM, the rooted stock ROM and is still happening on Liquid Thundersense 1.3. Kinda annoying.

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
tru dat! you got 2 options:

- Flash in CwMRecovery

or

- Push bootanimation.zip into /system/media

Like a kernel or modem, bootanimations do not really require a flash at 100% battery or clearing of settings in CwMRecovery if you choose to flash it. Some bootanimations are not flashable and require you to push them into /system/media. Always read the OP will generally explain if it is flashable or not.

***I highly recommend you push it yourself. Its not hard at all and will allow you to be more familiar with your file system***

- just find the "bootanimation.zip" that you want

- move it to ur phone

tip* i've found i like to archive all bootanimations on my PC for future reference do so or skip this next step

- browse to /system/media/bootanimation.zip(this is your original) copy it to archive

- browse to where you put the bootanimation.zip you want and select "move"

- browse to /system/media/ and select paste

- select replace

- reboot phone and voila! now you have ur new bootanimation and you feel more comfortable moving system files around. Aren't you smart:p ur mom would be proud. Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbamade:
check my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019858

its on shutdown animations.

for boot animations.

its the same method

but the bootanimation is just in the "system/media" folder...called "bootanimation.zip"

It can be taken from any ROM from the "system/media" folder and placed in your "system/media" folder on your phone and your done.

This will make more sense after you read my forementioned post.

Im coming up on 24gb of data usage on my thunderbolt and still have 15 days left on this billing cycle. Has anybody here passed this amount of usage and has verizon tried to limit the data after too much usage.

thanks
[Thunderbolt General] Turd Furguson:
The fine print says if you are in the top 5% in data usage they will throttle. But I asked sales rep and manager at my Verizon store and they said unlimited means unlimited to them.
[Thunderbolt General] davidkim99b:
$30, I hope unlimited data from Verizon meant unlimited data, no gab after certain amount of usage. I am at about 20GB "finger cross"
[Thunderbolt General] baffula:
I'm lucky to push 5gb. What am I doing wrong? :o
[Thunderbolt General] nerdydesi:
I got the Thunderbolt on March 28th. My first billing cycle ran from that 28th to April 6th. That time, I hit around 30gb. So far from April 7th to now, the 29th, I've hit 77.974gb with my bill cycle May 6th. So far, no throttling, nothing like that. When I noticed my internet went out during the big, nationwide LTE crash two days ago, I thought at first VZW cut me off for high usage. I was relieved to go onto this forum and find I wasn't the only one. :o

I don't want to brag about it, but since I haven't seen any negative actions so far, you should be good to go. I don't know if I get preferential treatment due to being a VZW employee though...

And for those who are curious, all that usage is from "Internet Connection Mode", USB tethering to my PC, downloading PC games from Steam and some torrents.
[Thunderbolt General] emarusamun:
72GB......*@%$-#&#*!!!! Lol. Highest I've gone is 16GB I think. U tethering like a mad man?
[Thunderbolt General] nerdydesi:
I finally found the thing I can get into the Guinness Book of World Records. :D

And I forgot from my previous post, I also used the wireless tether to download content to my newly bought PS3 as well in addition to torrents and PC games from Steam.
[Thunderbolt General] wotdsm:
When I tether my 4G connection and download torrents I only get about 1 kbps down! Do you change your settings in your torrent program for tethering?
[Thunderbolt General] what25:
Wow. 72GB?

I noticed that the first 7 days of use, my usage shot up to about 4gigs. Then it seems to have slowed to about 5.5gigs total in the next 14 days, and now i stand at 5.7gigs. Got 1 more week left on bill cycle.
[Thunderbolt General] nerdydesi:
I haven't made any modifications at all. I simply connect my Thunderbolt to my PC, it asks me what option I wish to choose, I choose "Internet Connection Mode", wait a few seconds and I am connected. The fastest speeds I have gotten down so far are 2MB/s, the fastest upload around 500KB/s.
[Thunderbolt General] what25:
Is the 'internet connection mode' like an official tethering option that verizon can know about? me wants to know if I can be charged for it.

[Thunderbolt General] trikotret:
If they going to limit the data then they need to remove the word unlimited. Whether you are the top 5% of their users or not. Not many people read the fine prints. When I login and see a big word stating unlimited. So I beleive I have unlimited.
[Thunderbolt General] Turd Furguson:
Despite what it says, they can enforce their cap at any time. What 5% top bandwidth consumer is, I am not sure. But if you are hurting your area by using a ton of bandwidth, they will likely cap you. More so if you are on 4G than 3G I would think.
[Thunderbolt General] Dbagjones:
Unlimited data & unlimited bandwidth aren't the same thing, just saying.
[Thunderbolt General] TsaiKimon:
Ya, only in-so-far as there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.

[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
So you're telling me that VZW doesn't care at all about people pulling ridiculous amounts of data (100-300GB) from tethering/torrents? Why else would they throttle/tier? Bandwidth isn't magical.

[Thunderbolt General] ZeppelinJ0:
Some people, such as myself, DO use it as home internet. If I want to watch Hulu or Netflix it has to be through my phone.

This is also something I have been wondering about recently too. ICM is the only way I tether.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
Ya know there is nothing wrong with a little tethering here and there, but come on now. These people going over 100 gigs a month are the reason that carriers are going through all the trouble to stop us from using these apps. It is ridiculous that you would even post that on a forum like your bragging about it. Hopefully your data does get throttle (Fingers ><) because you are the ones who are going to ruin it for the rest of us.
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
Wow over 100 gigs of data I only used around 10 gigs last month And that was with tethering. No wonder we all suffer from not having a tethering apps anymore in the market. this is just ridiculous. Select few will always ruin it for everyone else. Although I still hate att for capping their home internet serivce.
[Thunderbolt General] mAlfunkti0n:
And because people don't want to take the time is not a Verizon problem, it is the problem of the person that did not read it. Silly to sign something you didn't read and then complain about it. You signed it willingly. I hope you never buy a car or house.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosophre:
So this is the formula to take apps from phone to sd and vice versa on an eris.

Copy apps from phone to sdcard

cp data/app/* /sdcard/(folder)

Install apps from sdcard to phone

cd sdcard/(folder)

busybox install *.apk /data/app

Is it the same for the thunderbolt? I would do a test and find out, but I don't want to brick my phone by tampering it as it is mounted.

Edit: start with this of course.

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/app
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
That's kind of the long ended way of installing things, but yes, i dont see why that wont work, it's the same filesystem as any other android phone as long as the rom you are using doesnt do something funny.

You could do it via a file explorer gui app on the phone (there's quite a few free ones in the store), terminal emulator on the phone or via ssh if you have an sshserver set up on the phone as well. adb just seems like a pain to me mostly unless im rooting since it involves hooking things up to usb (unless you do wireless adb).

Also, only system dependant apps go in /system/app (stuff you wouldnt uninstall), anything else goes in /data/app

the part after taking the screws out (detaching the case) is hella hard , i even cracked the case ... youll need a few (very)thin plastics to stop it from snapping back as you loosen all the sides and ull need a flat-bladed screwdriver for the two little tunnels on the sides of the usb port ...

bottom line is , there are about a half dozen hook points , if it doesnt come off , u prolly missed somthing ... oh , and youll also need standard 6way screwdrivers , several sizes

The only ones that are different are the RHOD100 and RHOD210 models. The RHOD100 (European model) has a glass hole for a front-facing camera to the left of the speaker grill. The RHOD210 (T-Mobile US model) has a different placement of the bottom hard buttons. The other versions have the buttons flush against the bottom of the device. The RHOD210 has its buttons about a quarter of an inch above the bottom of the device.

The RHOD300 (AT&T), RHOD400 (Sprint), and RHOD500 (Verizon) are all the same as far as the front display goes. The only difference is the carrier branding under the speaker grill. I have never seen a RHOD110 (Telus) model, so I'm not certain of the differences it has. I think it is the same as the European model (RHOD100), though, if it has a front camera.
