[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RockTheRed52:
double post. my fault.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] G7man:
Well, I don't own a D2, so here is all I can say.

1. Make sure you chmod +x both the sbf_flash and the SBF_Flasher.sh files

2. Download the 2.3.20 SBF, or whatever the most current one is and copy it to the SBF_Flasher folder. Rename the sbf "droid2.sbf" case-sensetive and without quotes

3. Run SBF_Flasher.sh and tell me at what point it errors, and what it says.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RockTheRed52:
this is where i am getting stuck at

Press any number or letter key, then enter to continue.

chmod +x /Users/alkap16/Desktop/SBF_Flasher_1.3/sbf_flash 1

Error: No sbf_flash program

Exiting

although i am not sure if i am "chmod +x" the SBF_Flasher.sh file correctly.

sorry for all this this is my first time doing anything like this on my phone or computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] G7man:
Ok, you need to chmod both files before running the SBF_Flasher.sh file. Also, it should look like "chmod +x /users/alkap16/Desktop/SBF_Flasher_1.3/sbf_flash". make sure the file name is sbf_flash, not sbf_flash 1. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RockTheRed52:
finally got everything to work. but when the sbf is done flasing im still stuck in the bootloader with no no way of getting into recovery mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] G7man:
Well, if it hasn't worked, and you don't have a windows pc, you should definitely try 1KDS's live disk, or this link.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] craig_s:
I've been trying it, and I'm getting the same error for no sbf_flash program. I've tried chmod +x on both sbf_flash and SBF_FLASHER.sh

any ideas?

The other one you posted last is still a no go, as my mac can't burn disks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] G7man:
You should definitely download sbf_flash from blog.opticaldelusion.org and see if that works. It's probably an issue with you not doing "chmod +x" right. I would try typing "chmod +x" leaving a space, and dragging sbf_flash into terminal. If all else fails, get your hands on a Windows machine, or use a VM, but I've never had success with VM's. Let me know what happens.

-G7man
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] craig_s:
Giving it a second go (I had my brother fix it last time, he doesn't want to do it this time). Should I replace sbf_flash that I downloaded with the old one?

Edit: still doesn't work!!! You wouldn't happen to know how to put 1kdStaz's liveboot onto an external hdd, or how to partition my hdd to boot off of that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] G7man:
I know you can boot off of a usb drive, but I'm not the person to talk to for that kind of thing. I'd recommend talking to 1KDS, he's really nice.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JimAtKSF:
Try chmod 777 on the sbf_flash file, that worked for me...

Although, I have another question, does the sbf_flash file require an Intel based system? I'm using a PowerMac G5 with PPC processors and I get
[HD2 General] guitarnerd2k:
I think my sensor is effed, because whenever I put the phone in sleep mode.(i.e. hitting the red button) and try to re activate it, it wont read my commands to unlock but the weird thing is, the buttons work just fine.

If you have any idea what I can do I'd appreciate it.

I have already tried flashing different roms to see if the build was the problem, but it turns out the builds aren't.

It takes a screen a while to start reacting properly, but like I said, everytime it goes into sleep mode it starts acting up.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
There has been a lot of threads on this same problem. Some say using other buttons beside the end button to wake up the phone and the tuch screen works fine.

The issue is a hardware issue and not software, so if you still have a warranty I suggest you flash the correct Stock ROM and SPL then send it in for repair or replacement.

By doing this any changes you make will not save in game anymore. So if you want to advance your sol. Also if you think putting back your old save.dat will work it won't. Try it and see.

[Android Apps and Games] GchildT:
Way to make a game, not a game anymore... :(
[Android Apps and Games] RoelVB:
I also did this a while ago, haven't played the game since then. It's no fun anymore.

But if someone is interested, I copied the save.dat from my phone using DroidExplorer (quick and easy).

After some searching I found the offsets for the money and respect points.

Money offset: 0x1E (3 bytes)

Respect offset: 0x23 (2 bytes)

Could be that the values are 4 bytes long, didn't test it, but it would make sense.

You can easily calculate the value you want. For example, if your hexeditor has this 3 bytes as money value "02 CF 61" you just convert them to decimal to get the money value. So 0x02CF61 is $184161.

[Android Apps and Games] kriell:
how to install this save.dat can anyone help me step by step
[Android Apps and Games] Coucher:
Here's my problem..

Just playing the game normal recently, phone locked up for some reason. Pulled the battery, rebooted phone. Drag Racing would force close every time it was started. Ok, no biggie as I have MyBackup Pro doing a nightly backup. So I wipe the data for the app, then restore my data from the most recent backup. Ok, still getting force closes. Next I go to the app data folder, copy the save.dat to somewhere else using Root Explorer. Clear the data again, then start the app. Runs fine, but of course is a fresh start. No cars, etc. Now, back to Root Explorer where I take my original (restored from backup) save.dat file and copy it back to the app's data location, overwriting the one there. App loads and runs now with no force closes, all my money, respect, cars are there and I can play the game fine, but it will not save any progress now whenever I exit the game.

Note that at no point did I open the save.dat and edit anything. Only copied and restored the file.

Any ideas or insight...or am I screwed & have to start over now?
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
@coucher can you connect to your phone with adb shell and navigate to the folder where save.dat is stored?

...in adb shell type:

cd /data/data/com.creativemobile.DragRacing/files/

then type:

ls -al

drwxrwx--x 2 app_52 app_52 4096 May 16 21:51 .

drwxr-x--x 7 app_52 app_52 4096 May 16 22:07 ..

-rwx------ 1 app_52 app_52 150 May 16 15:00 .flurryagent.-4de0351c

-rwxrw-rw- 1 app_52 app_52 3056 May 16 14:59 save.dat

the permissions for the save.dat should be -rwxrw-rw- (at least mine by default are). I'm curious if, somehow in your moving the file, the application doesn't have write permissions.

do they differ from that? or the directory permissions starting with drwxr above?

You'll also want to make sure the game wasn't running when you copy your backed up or modified save.dat file back into the game's data folder. Otherwise the Drag Racing game could not be picking up the file you changed. Confirm the game is stopped in your phone's settings, applications, manage applications & make sure it's stopped, then copy your save.dat over to the phone, go into adb shell & verify directory & file permissions are like the above, run the game a race & see if the money saved.

The changes to save.dat are trivial as long as you think you edited the right hex blocks with the right numbers. In the least make a copy of your save.dat maybe to your sd card & edit a copy of it you pull to your computer. In the end the permissions sound like what might be acting funny for you
[Android Apps and Games] Coucher:
jawz101...you're the man! :D

I couldn't get adb to work right to check the permissions out, but was able to use Root Explorer on the phone to do so. Restored my save.dat file again, checked the permissions, and they were different than yours. Set them to match using Root Explorer, exited, loaded Drag Racing app, noted the money amount I had, ran a quick race to change that amount, exited the app, loaded it back, and it saved the previous result just as it should. Looks like you were spot on that when restoring my back up save.dat that the permissions were getting set to read instead of read/write, so obviously the app couldn't write to the save.dat file to properly save the game status.

Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] blockhead428:
Would it be possible to get some detailed instructions? I can't find my money amount anywhere.

For example: I have 442751 bucks and 88 respect points. I type 442751 into the hex converter and it gives me 6C17F. So I go to xvi and and click search and then find and under text string i type 6C17F and click okay. It says string not found. If I type it into hex string it says "hex string not valid". I try doing this for my respect points, 88 becomes 58 in hex and I find 58 in 3 different places. Which one do I change? And how do I change it exactly? I'm kinda new to hex editing.
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
thanks to you too, Coucher :) For some reason I thought it had to be a permissions issue. Sometimes working with shared folders in Windows if a file had certain permissions inside a shared folder and you copy it out the permissions get stripped off. It was just a hunch that something like this might've happened when you copied it out to the sd card then put it back in the data folder.
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
Progress Report:

I may not think about this too much further and if someone wants to pick up where I'm leaving off - great.

With the latest update it looks like the save.dat got a facelift. Places where nothing was stored now looks like it has values of 41's (or A's in decimal) as filler.

Attached a picture (some hex values blurred to protect the innocent)

The changes to make usually looked like a spot-the-difference game.

I'd get the save.dat & open it up in hex editor, run another race to get some money or points and pull it and compare the 2. That being said these values have changed either through upgrades or dollar increases. The user name is in there somewhere too and that's why I deleted chunks of this picture out. Anyways. With the latest upgrades the math has to be different- still haven't thought it out because I'm not extremely bright but I suspect 5879 and 63 areas in this example are the general areas where money and respect points are. Maybe the 3238 is money... i dunno yet. Still thinking about it.

It'd probably be easiest to start with a game that hasn't been run much. my save.dat looks like a nightmare compared to the screenshot below because I've got more stuff since then.

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words so if anyone has ideas feel free to contribute but that's kinda how it's done. The new factor to contend with are if dollar & RP are now not as clear since they possibly are a difference from the new blank value.

I don't want to give instructions out to those who I would get ticked if their saved game got hosed because I said clickety here and type F3ksd8 or something but that might be the thing to do :)
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
I can't figure out what they're doing to the numbers to get the values any more.

I tried from a blank profile, bought a $15000 car, raced a race and compared all 3 profiles to have some numbers to work with ($15000, $0, and $192) so I have enough of a pattern to see where the dollar amounts are getting but it doesn't seem like it's as clear anymore.

I'm sorry ya'll but I lost my mojo. They must be reading this forum :rolleyes:

If the developer ever lands on this thread a couple of suggestions:

please let us backup our progress online. maybe through an OpenFeint account?

money progress is a bit too realistic. To get all cars & upgrades it'd take at least a year and losing my full time job. Some of us like to play the game but seriously. Selling a car I've invested multiple times the cost of the car in upgrades should not be valued at fractions of the cost. The game should encourage car collecting as much as which car do I need at this moment. I tried just slowly saving up for each car but then your piddling around in only the lower level cars. I really don't have any suggestions on this one but I know for a fact it'd take at least $60 million dollars to purchase all of the current cars with all upgrades. When you look at it that way I'm sure people would give up out of frustration.

Make something else to do with lower level cars. If I'm racing level 6 cars what else do I need to do with a lower level car except sell it or keep it to look at? Something to think about for the way off future.
[Android Apps and Games] nofear0705:
Ok I'm sorry I haven't been on to correct myself. If you move it within your phone with root explorer or what ever you use. If you follow Jawz directions it will work fine.

[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
@spanky. I'm pretty sure you're not viewing the right part of the phone. I think the asec folders are on the sdcard, though I'm not sure.

You'll either have to connect your phone via usb cable & use the adb shell commands to navigate to the directory or use a file explorer application on a rooted phone.

if you don't see folders such as /data, /system, /usr you're not at root level of the phone

It'd be found under /data/data/com.creativemobile.DragRacing/files/save.dat

... for a nonrooted phone I'd in the least use Titanium backup or other backup programs that copy your application and game data (save games) to your sd card periodically. that way you can always roll back.

Sorry about the predicament. This game does need to save your profile online

Hey all,

So I just ran ClockworkMod (2.5.13) and wiped my Vibrant in preparation for the new Bionix. I have found that on my phone I had to wipe sdcard too or it wouldn't wipe fully. The problem: ClockworkMod won't let me mount USB storage or mount sdext so I can't figure out how to get the new ROM on the phone. Voodoo is also enabled and I can't seem to disable it without a working ROM on the phone.

When I plug the phone into my PC the "H" and "I" drives automatically pop up but are inaccessible. Mounting USB storage in ClockWorkMod appears to do nothing.

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Vibrant General] Djapatos:
ohhhhhhhhh

I had the same problem last night but i thought my PC was acting up. I guess it has to do with CWM, but idk why.

What i did was copy the ROM on my external sd card, then put it on the phone and move them to internal sd card;)

Hope that help

You may have to pull the sd card and use an external card reader.

ADB did the trick. I didn't realize it could push to the phone like that. Easy cheesy. Thanks!

And as for external SD card reader - this doesn't do anything to help transfer a file to the phone. Recovery was unable to mount SDEXT. I can't find any documentation on the matter, but I assume this is a Vibrant-related issue?

Check Applications/Development/Enable USB Debugging. If that is on, make sure you have the necessary drivers on the PC.

As for mounting via CWM, that should work if CWM gives the option. Again, check drivers on PC.

yes. and if you had read through threads about root then you would already know that s-off IS devices have been rooted some time ago. custom roms are around but very few and not very good. the problem is getting s-off for root available for for those of us who dont have s-off by default or have access to an xtc clip to s-off our IS's.
