Hi all,

I'm looking for su binaries that do not require Superuser.apk or any other permissions package, I just want to be able to push it it to /data/local and be able to run it.

I know this a terrible idea, but I need to be able to do it. I will only be running this on phones on a private network with no activated service, so don't worry.

If you have info but want to keep it from being accidentally misused by people who don't know what they're doing, send me a pm.

Thanks,

Joe

Did anyone see the Samsung Epic on this weeks episode of Celebrity Apprentice?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Nope, but I saw a Samsung Epic, HTC Evo, and Kyocera Echo on Fringe =P
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
Yep.

Noticed it several times this season, but tonight it's really gotten a lot of camera time; they should have given it second billing in the credits.
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
Like said above, it's been on pretty much every episode of Celebrity Apprentice this season.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Oh my god I saw that... I was like what if they were browsing our forums... soo cool :)
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I'm a casual viewer so I only noticed it today.
[Epic 4G General] fm.matti:
nope. but they used it to maked video calls home on survivor. i was surprised that show was still on.
[Epic 4G General] albie1937:
Also seen the Epic and Evo Shift 4G on Law and Order Criminal Intent last Sunday. Epic is an under the radar phone.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I saw it a bunch this season already.. LOL..

I been pointing it out to my wife. hahahaha
[Epic 4G General] cashyftw:

Did they show the Real Birth Certificate Authenticator Scanner(tm) App?
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Meatloaf should had used the Epic to throw it at Star Jones's head.
[Epic 4G General] MaxPatlick:
no, but I saw a guy in my dentists office with an epic. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
Darren from the Hak5 netcast on Revision3 rocks an Epic.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
I wonder if any of the ones spotted have Implaler's keyboard mod on them
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
They're phones given to them only to use on the show, they're guaranteed bone stock.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
I was just joking around. I don't see how Samsung can't even get their keyboards to work of all things.
[HTC Incredible S] pfarro72:
Does anyone know of any real difference between the Incredible S and Desire HD Camera

I have noticed on a few reviews and sample pictures taken that the Incredible S seems to take better still photos than the Desire HD ?

Any opinions/views/facts as to the differences between the 2 cameras

I appreciate they 'should' be the same given the same specs but the evidence seems to indicate otherwise

:confused::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] gregmolyneux:
G'Day all

Apologies if this has been covered but I have been unable to resolve thus far

I bought a Desire (A8183) second hand and after wiping leedroid 2.4.1 and installing HTC 2.2 Froyo for Telstra the MAC address is listed as unavailable. No Wifi, bluetooth or GPS.

Is there a way to edit the MAC address or has it been wiped from the chip and killed the wifi permanently.

Any help would be appreciated - I have already tried re-rooting the phone, installing a variety of ROMS and using Android Terminal Emulator to edit but have been unable to sort it.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] RandipDhesi:
Hi

Did you find a solution for this?

I'm having the same problem! Since moving from a rooted stock (with minor tweaks) sense 2.2. rom to CM7, wifi only turns on (or appears to) for a few seconds before turning off (doesn't even scan) and shows "mac address unavailable".

I've tried reflashing everything (radio, recovery, rom) and no luck. I've read some people have resolved it by a simple reboot but that doesnt work!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Radio: 5.17.05.23

Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1

S-off

ROM: CM 7.1.0 RC1 (and i've tried the latest nightly builds too).
[Nook Color General] Zenoran:
I returned my Nook and got a new one and was amazed at how much better the screen is. Mine had a slight bleed at the bottom I wasn't sure if that was all of them or not.

Anyways aside from the bleed gone, the screen is much more vibrant and clear. Just an fyi if anyone has a weird screen don't settle!
[Nook Color General] SophT:
Cool, mine has a dead pixel that appeared only 2 days after I purchased it - I've been debating whether or not it's worth the time to reflash back to stock, etc... etc... and exchange it. I think I will.
[Nook Color General] t3rabyte:
My first nook had white splotches on the screen. I took it back to the store and the guy wouldn't exchange it. As soon as I told him I wanted my money back he changed his mind and gave me another one. He was a ****.

Then, after a week, the nook started creaking and squeaking all around the bezel. I called to get it exchanged. They said I had to go into the store. I went into the store. They said I had to do it online or on the phone. I called on the phone and argued with some lady for 30 minutes after which she told me that if I sent my current nook back and they didn't think anything was wrong with it, they'd charge me $250. I hung up and called right back and got a woman who was ok and told me the other lady was an idiot. Thanks guys.

I received my third nook in the mail. The A/C charger jack was broken. I couldn't put the jack in. So i called to get this replaced and argued with some guys in India for an hour and finally got a replacement.

I'm on my 4th nook. Barnes and Noble sucks and I will never buy another electronic device from them again.
[Nook Color General] wpbear:
Yeah I was not impressed with their phone support either. All these companies not only outsourcing to India but only allowing the support person to use scripted conversation is even worse.

I called to deregister a device since I forgot to deregister before returning a NC and the lady was an idiot reading from a script she didn't even understand.

Roku is another horrible company for India scripted phone support.

Unfortunaley India gets beat up a lot by Americans for this when it might not be so bad if the scripts were taken away and they just hired smarter people.
[Nook Color General] indagroove:
I got mine at best buy, and getting it replaced for the phantom ghost tap issue was easy as pie. The new one works great. The girl at the counter was kinda cute too, so it was like win-win!
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
is the return policy at best buy 14 days too?
[Nook Color General] ADude:
When I called BN phone support, they were not in India.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
My wife and I both got a NC, same store, about a month apart. Both of ours work perfectly.

Don't assume because you had 2 problematic NC's doesn't mean everyone has, or that overall quality is bad. (Yes, I said 2.)
[Nook Color General] residentorca:
The only issue with my screen is some binding/pinching where the bezel meets the LCD which causes slight bright spots at the bottom edge. I've seen this same issue with lower quality LCD monitors. Otherwise pleased with screen quality. Having worked in electronics manufacturing, I came to learn how variable quality control can be with some manufacturers.
[Nook Color General] n8nmad:
Best Buy has one month reuturns but after that your screwed unless u buy insurance. my 1st NC ate an 8 gig microUSB and started bleeding by the vol. B&N took sent another straight away with postage paid for the return. NO PROB and they do have a vibrant screen from all angles.

a case would keep your nook safe from most screen probs, and be shure to line up your mcards.
[Nook Color General] indagroove:
Technically yes, but they will help with warrenty issues after that date to some degree as well.

I did buy the insurance, but didn't have to use it even though it was something like 45 days or more after I bought it. I brought it in planning to use the insurance (which is a one time shot apparently), but she told me they could just do it as a warranty exchange since it was so new. I'm not really sure how long they extend it for, but I was happy.
[Nook Color General] t3rabyte:
Wow, yeah, my post was just soooo long.

If you read it, it said I had three bad nooks (Yes, I said 3). I never said everyone has bad ones. I said I won't buy from them again because their support sucks and their products are defective.

Maybe next time you comment on a post, read it first.
[Nook Color General] escapetheclouds:
My first NC was defective. It had a bad accelerometer and/or a bad power button. Essentially, if you set it down occasionally it would act as if you pressed and held the power button and then tapped OK to shut down the tablet.

Here's a vid I took of it to convince the BN store staff I wasn't going nuts:

YOUTUBE DOT COM/watch?v=Zfit4oG4WaA

I'd bought the extended warranty but this happened within the first week of ownership. I talked to the manager of the store where I bought it and she swapped it for a new one and applied the warranty to NC #2. I'd heard the phone support was horrible, so made it a point to buy it locally. I'm glad I did.

I'm loving my new one. I'm going to Hawaii in a week and, for the first time in my life, will be travelling without a laptop. All I'm taking is my NC and a BT keyboard for it.
[Nook Color General] t3rabyte:
Are you sure you had a problem? Because khaytsus bought one for himself and his wife and didn't have any issues LOL

Wow, good thing the store owner was helpful. The guy on staff at my local BN refused to do anything and said all returns or exchanges definitely needed to go through the website.

I'm still not happy with my current Nook. The panel below the "N" button is depressed on both sides. But I'm sticking with it for now.
[Nook Color General] Deleted member 3767071:
Backlight bleeding is pretty much the norm for any LCD screen. I've seen it on desktop monitors, TVs, laptops, tablets...etc. It will exist on even on the top of the line models and "best" brands.

If you just have only some slight backlight bleeding, I would discourage you from trying to exchange it. You're likely to get something worse like dead pixels.
[Nook Color General] jumpingsheep5:
I spent half an hour one the support line a second ago because my USB cable fried. The lady tried to have me enter my credit card number for some reason so I could buy "NOOKBooks". I argued with her for about 5 minutes and then she told me all I need to enter is my shipping address. She said that they would mail the replacement cable free of charge in 24 to 48 hours.

I didn't spend anytime on hold even though the automated message said that they are flooded with tech support calls.
[Nook Color General] rigy73:
Smarter people ask for a lot of money (if they are paying more money then whats the point of outsourcing) even in India only those who can't really find another job for themselves take up job's in call center's.
[Nook Color General] Zenoran:
well I just returned my nook with a transformer incoming... i sure hope it has as good of a screen or ill prob end up another nook. lol

... Never drop your Captivate in the toilet. Things don't work afterwards
[Captivate General] ridethelight:
My girlfriend dropped her vibrant into the toilet, tripped all visible water sensors, had the battery put back in it after an hour (emergency situation needed her phone). Battery was left out for another 5-6 hours, phone glitched around and did crazy **** for another day. Battery put back in following day and it worked fine like nothing ever happened.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
Did you try holding VOL UP/DOWN and Power? ....JK :D that sucks though :o
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
dude, the water got the volume buttons :D They couldnt even work to force it into download mode
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Bowl of rice 1 week
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
It was in the water for a second, completely dry now. It boots perfectly. Gets receptions great. Works fine. Except the touchscreen is busted and the volume buttons are wrecked.
[Captivate General] bbgt2:
If he was quick to remove battery in 3 seconds, otherwise even 2 weeks wont help.

Besides, it went into a toilet. :eek:

Time to get the SGS2.
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
Hahah I dont know about getting the SGS2, I have so much stuff I was developing for the Captivate that I never released
[Captivate General] bbgt2:
Ahhh, didnt know that.

Well then nothing like a brand spanking new SGS or Cappy. (AT&T will never have me buying "their" version of something again"):D
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
Well hey, the Cappy was never a bad phone! I just think I will go with a contract unlocked phone that preferably doesnt have all of their bloatware
[Captivate General] 41LY45:
Well, never use your cellphone in the toilet then. :rolleyes:

Get the SGS2 man. ;)

The Cappy is awesome. (after a you toss in a custom ROM):D
[Captivate General] steelechamp:
The worst part is, my phone was in my pocket XD

just in case anyone asks, bowl of rice for 1 week won't do anything to clean the turds off

edit: just a thought, a jig might work (it looks like it can scrape well with the usb plug end of it)
[Captivate General] malbolgias:
The circuit board must have been shorted, thats why the buttons or the screen dont work. Jig cant help.

Does anyone have a fix to this? i really need to send a pic and its not letting me:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ksc218:
I'm looking into rooting my phone solely for setcpu app and I haven't been able to find anywhere if when you unroot does that remove apps and restore to an old backup or simply change the permissions so you don't have access to the root anymore?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chefberardi:
Un-rooting alone would not remove apps, but in the act of flashing back to a stock Rom u would usually clear cache and wipe (apps disappear). When rooted you can use "titanium back up" (requires root) to back up all ur apps and settings when flashing a new Rom. The paid version is worth the price for the batch restore alone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ksc218:
ok so as long as i keep the stock rom and only root for set cpu and maybe wireless tether i wont need to restore to a backup?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] higabyte:
Even if you keep Setcpu once you lose root it will only run in read only mode and therefore you won't be able to over/under clock thus making the app virtually useless.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L.Bento:
Hi guys,

I have partitioned my SD card about 10 times now, either using ROM Manager or Gparted.

The problem is that after I do everything no extra memory appear on the internal memory.

It is a 8GB class 6 card.

Why is this happening?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefdag:
Download quick system info to see the info about this partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L.Bento:
It is showing as the partition exists.

Is it working?

Im using RCmix by the way. Maybe a bad SD card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L.Bento:
Just tried with the original SandDisk 4GB Class 2 and it did the same.

Any help please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
after you partitioned your card with gparted, what did you do, exactly? just turn the phone on? reinstall? what? what ROM are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neillh:
Do you have a2sd+ with your rom?

sounds like maybe you dont.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Did u create an ext3-Partion for App2SD? Correct partitioning should be like this:

0 MB SWAP

(MUST!!)

512 MB - 1,5 GB for ext3-Partion (more than 1,5 GB can cause problems with downloading/installing apps)

Rest: FAT32

Try to partition your sd-card with your recovery-system. Maybe this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper7881:
after partition in terminal emulator on phone

a2sd reinstall

then let it finish

once u flash a MOD it cant be removed....if u made a backup before u flashed just restore it......may i make a suggestion?....before u do any THEMES, or MODS, or whateva......make a backup before u do anything......because if u dont like the theme or mod.....u can always go back to what u had before......but unfortunately u cant undo anything like that.....

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
Here is te the deal I have an htc magic model A6161. It is a 32a magic and it is an htc branded phone. I rooted my device successfully and installed a custom rom on it. Everything worked fine until I flashed the 6.35.10.18 radio. Now my device can only boot on fastboot mode and bootloader, and when try to turn it on normally it just shows the htc logo for a few seconds and then reboot itself doing the same

I just wanted to know if there is a way for me to get my phone working Again. Here is the info of my phone :

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.10.18

may 8 2009 21:02:32

Everything besides from the radio remains unchanged. I woud appreciate any help. And sorry for my bad english if I expressed myself the wrong way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
if i am correct (which i may not be cuz i dont know much about 32a phones) then i think you have to flash an spl that goes with the 6.xx radios.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
Yes I thought that as well but the thing is that I can't flash anything with in recovery because when boot my phone in recovery mode it reboots itself before a can do something. I tried to flash with fastboot but I could'nt ether because my magic is SHIP S-ON H and I need it to be S-OFF H to do that. Just in case I know that the "S" means security. Do you know how can get it be S-OFF instead of S-ON. If I can do that then I think I will be able to fix my phone. If not any other helpful info is welcomed.

Make a goldcard would be step one.

Sent from my fingers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
I read that a 2gb sd card is needed for that. Is it true or I can do it with a 1gb sd as well?, because I used to have a 2gb sdcard but Is lost and I would have to buy a new one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
1 Gb is fine. Hell a 256 MB would work.

Sent from my fingers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
Ok i'll do it and let's see what happens. I'll be back when i'm done making the gold card. Probably tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
Ok. now i made the goldcard. What woud be the next step?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.

Sent from my fingers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
It says " version-main: 2.52.707.2". what is next please?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] grundio:
Hello, all. I'm sorry I write in this threat, but I have exactly same problem. I got the SPL to 1.33.2009 S-OFF from 1.33.0009 S-ON and when I tried to update the radio to 6.35 ( via the Radioswitcher tool )- it was successful, but can't boot. Nore fastboot or RadioSwitcher does the work ( phone goes into black screen ).

Wish you luck with our issue.

edit: I managed to flash the old image but now it's stuck on the "HTC MAGIC" logo, and still won't boot.

edit2: Got everything back, like before, but still can't boot. Have to mention that, when updated, I used the top options from the RS GUI, "Flash bundled Radio, SPL& Recovery" with checked "Erase system+userdata+cache" - is this, what I've done wrong ? If I understand correctly, a custom rom flash would fix the problem, because I've deleted the system, right ?

Thank's for your time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
Sorry grundio I whish I could help you but I do not have experience with 32a magics at all.but maybe the guy how is helping me can give you a hand as well. Let's wait for him to reply. Otherwise if you need some help with 32b devices I might be helpful.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] grundio:
Thank you, @gabriel.castro. Wish you luck :) .

Well, if we can go into fastboot- there is always hope. I think I accidently deleted my rom and flash would fix it, but I am hoping for a confirmation, to be sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darkguy2008:
I have a 32A. I'd say follow the instructions here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio)

And once you get a working ROM booted up (Yoshi's, CM, etc), take it slow on upgrading again. Also, I don't personally trust apps like that, just do it the commandline way and it'll just work. Dunno, I just trust commands more xD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
sorry if i'm mistaken but i think that in order to this procedure to succeed my phone most be able to boot normally first. and that is my problem. i can't get it to boot normally. but thanks for your time anyway
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] whutcc:
Run the following command from fastboot..."fastboot getvar version-main" and post the output here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
The output is: "version-main: 2.52.707.2"

what is next?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gabriel.castro:
Ia there something i can do? Please help me.
