Thats a known bug in CM7, even if you turned off your phone and plugged in the USB your phone will start.
[Captivate General] lalord69:
what do you recomend for me to do? flash a new rom to fix this? flash a new bootloader
[Captivate General] studacris:
A new rom. Use odin one click to go to stock now since cwm us unavailable. Then start from scratch there. Also go check out "the difinitive guide to bricking" sticky up at the top of the subforum. You REALLY need to learn what a bootloader is before you do something you'll regret.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cluster4:
I have two questions on the Android OS.

1. When the device is turned off and you power it, a battery loading animation runs. Is this part of android or does this come from a lower layer? If it's Android, I can hack it and initiate the whole linux boot process, right?

2. How can I autostart fullscreen GUI applications?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Theonew:
1. No. Not all devices android devices do that (none that I know of), but only when the charger/USB connected to PC is connected, it shows the battery loading animation. About the hacking part... I'm sure when developers are creating roms, some of them already do this (like booting android from a wm device).

2. What do you mean by "autostart fullscreen GUI applications"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cluster4:
I'm not sure if I get you correctly. What I meant IS exactly the battery loading animation your talking about. Is it part of Android or not?

I mean when android starts (after you pressed the power switch) that a certain android app starts, using the entire screen. I know that there are services which can run at system boot, but want to know if one could do the same with applications that have a user interface. Or can I run a usual app from a service? I don't have an android device, so I can't try things out. That's why I'm asking here

[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
Hey All.

I have a new Aria with a stock 2.2 build, and the associated Bootloader but I want to get root access to see if I can address my Bluetooth issues

All evidence points to me needing to edit /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf but without getting root access I can’t even read the file let alone edit it, so this is still a guess.

Any way we have lots of dodgy little phone shops around Melbourne, and odds on at least one will have an XTC clip. So what is it I actually want them to do?

I know I need to end up with a copy of su in system/bin, Is that what I am asking for? Or am is that not what is required?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You would like them to turn security off on the phone and put it in a S-OFF state. With S-OFF, you would be able to flash a custom recovery and gain root access.
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
So does this mean I can't just insert the binaries i require into the existing OS?

There appear to be some one touch solutions for some ROMs (Universal Androot) wouldn't this indicate that you can just apply the binaries?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
The problem with temporary root on the Aria is the Security Flag (S-ON). As long as that is enabled, you cannot mount the /system partition in Read/Write mode so that you can push new binaries. With the Aria you need to mount the /system partition from ClockworkMod in order to push new binaries to it.
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
O.K. So from that statement am I right to assume that you set S-Off, apply your ROM (Or push your binaries) then set S-On so that you can mount it and boot.

How does Universal Androot work then? It would have to push the binaries on without setting S-Off?
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Once you s-off your phone you would leave it s-off, no need to put it back to s-on and why would you want too?

My phone is s-off, I can flash the official 2.2.2 rom and then turn around and easily get back to a different rooted rom any time I want by flashing a custom recovery followed by the rom of choice.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You cannot set the security flag on the Aria with HBOOT 1.02 via any software method. That is the reason why you cannot gain permanent root using Unrevoked anymore. On HBOOT 1.02 you can only turn S-OFF by using the XTC Clip hardware. As A$$h5t pointed out, once you get S-OFF, you do not want to turn security back on.

What I was trying to say was even if Universal Androot could get you temporary root on the Aria HBOOT 1.02, it would not be able to turn security off so and mount the /system partition in Read/Write mode.
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
O.K. I think I have it now.

So you used to be able to mount the system partition on the phone with S-OFF, the change they made in HBOOT 1.02.000 is what stops it. Thus Universal doesn’t work, and you can’t play on the system partition in the same way. So not only do you now need the XTC Clip, but the options open to you even with that are still more limited than they were…

Is that about right?

[EDIT]

O.K. After re-reading I see that assessment is wrong.

It is that The Clip sets S-Off, which mounts system as rw, then anding su is a separate issue…

Wouldn’t this mean that Universal could theroeticaly work on a system where s-off has been set?

[/EDIT]
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Almost.

Prior to HBOOT 1.02, with ClockworkMod recovery installed, it was able to temporary turn security off and on to mount the /system partition. On the Aria we were never able to get permanent S-OFF via a software solution like some of the other HTC models.

With the XTC Clip, you can now get permanent S-OFF on the Aria which will give you more options, not less options than before. With S-OFF, you are able to mount both the /system and the /recovery partition in Read/Write mode, so you can not only install new ROMs, but also different custom recovery.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Yes and yes.
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
O.K. So with that in mind, I go an get the Droid Clipped, it will now be S-Off, which means /system will be set to rw.

Now I need to get su into system/bin, which I won’t have permissions for, that is the next challenge right?

So is there a way to do that without using an entirely custom ROM?
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
I believe once you are s-off you can just adb push it to /system/bin.

Also, there are 2.2.2 roms out there which are basically the stock rom already rooted and ATT crap removed if you want to stay close to stock.
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
The copy I have doesn’t have all the AT&T Crap, it is a generic unlocked build.

That then means the next question is where do I get a adb to push in su?

[EDIT]

O.K. Further research shows that my question makes no sense…

How do I get a copy of su to push onto the phone using adb

Any quick link to a guide to set up a dev environment and adb?

[/EDIT]

[RE-EDIT]

O.K. I now have ADB Sorted and am punting around on the phones system.

Now what?

Obviously get the phone clipped to make the system volume RW.

But that still doesn't give me the rights to push a file onto the phone, so then what? (And where do i get the file to push?)

I note that originally a version of su was on the phones that only worked from adb. for my current purposes this would suffice

[/RE-EDIT]
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
With the system in an S-OFF state, you can use HBOOT to flash a custom rooted ROM or custom recovery (ClockworkMod) by copying the associated ZIP file to the root of your microSD card and name it LIBEIMG.zip. Next time you boot into HBOOT, it will find the zip file and attempt to install it.

Once you get the Aria clipped, I would pay a visit to the Aria IRC chat room for more specifics and questions. These guys will be able to assist you on the best steps to take.

[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Follow the directions in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13650005&postcount=67

(Not the quoted part, the part that attn1 says to do.) This should install Clockwork on your phone.

Oh, and adb is in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK and fastboot is in tools folder.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
S-OFF alone does not make system r/w. You will still have a secure boot image.

The next step will be installing custom recovery, which is a snap once you have S-OFF. From there, you can install whatever you want on system, or flash rooted stock ROMs, or just root routines.

FYI, most people are not happy with just root access; they eventually will want basic busybox services and the ability to customize on the fly.

Come into the IRC channel in my sig if you have questions.

With Radio S-OFF fastboot flash image won't work directly, but this will work to install clockworkmod simply and easily:

Prerequisites:

HTC android usb device driver (if you use windows)

adb and fastboot utilities for your platform

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip clockwork2501.zip
fastboot reboot

Download:

MD5: 5d01f06af3ce99f27d23cf8a2df47926 clockwork2501.zip
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
Thanks tpbklake, drumist & attn1, I think I am getting close to feeling ready to do this.

So as I see it have to do the following.

Prerequisite items

Install HTC Sync (USB Driver)

Install Oracle JDK (Prerequisite for SDK)( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html )

Install SDK (for ADB) (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )

Get copy of clockwork.zip ( http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591945&d=1305031790 )

So Once I have all of the ingredients perform the following actions

Find somewhere with an XTC clip to set S-Off

Go home and plug the phone into the PC

Copy clockwork.zip to the root of SD Card

Open a cmd prompt at adb directory (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and enter the following commands

adb reboot bootloader

cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip clockwork2501.zip
fastboot reboot

So from my reading it appears doing this means I can now load things onto the system partition, by copying them as a zip package onto the SD and then booting into CWM and selecting “install zip from sdcard” and this will allow me to install su.

Is that about the length of it?

So I still need a zip with su in it and then I am able to raise my privileges?
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
A few corrections:

1) You don't have to install the Oracle JDK for what you are doing, you can skip that step completely.

2) Don't place the clockwork.zip on the SD card. You need to have it on your computer, and it will copy the file over to your phone when you issue the fastboot command. You will want to place it in the tools folder.

3) Before you run the adb/fastboot commands, type the following at the command prompt:

path %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

After doing this you can run all commands from the \tools folder, including adb, until you close that command line box.

4) I believe you need the HBOOT drivers installed on your system (this is in addition to the HTC Sync drivers). Follow the installation directions here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
Thanks Drumist.

The SDK package wouldn’t install without the JDK installed, so that is why I have added that in, I have changed my steps for where to put clockwork, thanks for the line on path (I should have done that initially…)

Once I have done all of this then I take it I follow some instructions like these?

http://geeknizer.com/how-to-root-motorola-droid/

can I use the su package they have linked there? It looks like these instructions were written for a much earlier droid release.

I take it if that is correct it will look more like this..

cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb push su /data/local
adb shell su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin mv su osu
cat /data/local/su > su
chmod 6755 su
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
I'm not sure what the best method is to root an unrooted ROM. My personal recommendation is to just install one of the ROMs from this site that already have root. You can always make a Nandroid backup first in case you don't like the subtle differences between those ROMs and the one you're using now.
[HTC Aria General] FALCON-LORD:
Hmmm… Getting the Aria clipped is not looking like it is going to be easy.

The one shop who was happy to talk about root breaking the phone was talking about a 3 hour process and hadn’t heard of an XTC Clip. So sounds like he was fishing without really knowing what I required.

Ohkay! well basically, ive been trying to transfer about 10gb worth of music onto my internal sd card.

Some of the music would transfer perfeclty, but with others, i would get an error

I googled a bit and it said the directory is too large, so i shortened it to under 256, but i still had problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, what other ways are there to sync music easily? (preferably over usb so its faster than wifi...)

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowake:
I am unsure whether you need to transfer 10 gigs or selectively sync with 10 gb on your HDD. I would not suggest loading 10 gigs on your internal mem because it will slow down your phone and scanning will take forever. I would transfer the core music files into an external sd devoted to the phone through an sd card reader (usb not integrated because slower), or transfer via usb to internal mem (far faster than OTA/wifi). Then sync additional files through doubletwist, which is similar to itunes and has wifi sync capability. You can also sync playlists with win media player or Banshee (I think) on linux.

Hope that helps.

Also, as far as the error, I have only seen that occur with legacy filenames from vista when converting to win7, or switching from ntfs/fat filesystems. If windows won't let you change the filename to allow you to transfer then you can always liveboot into a linux distro and change the filename or through the cmd console.

Hello! Everyone,

I read a lot regarding on how to configure the settings of my Uni Dopod 900 in order to use 3g. However I failed to get the info I need. So now I decided to get some help.

I am not using 3g so much in the past months for I have access in WiFi hot spots in my area, however I've been traveling a lot these past months that I realized that I needed a 3g connection for some places doesn't have internet access.

I've just called their customer support but they are not useful at all. I have a dopod 900 running in windows mobile 5 with Globe SIM card in it. The problem is I can't connect to 3g using my dopod 900. I just configure the APN and setup the proxy according to the posts that I've read. And also according to my service provider's instruction (Globe |Philippines|). Still I can't connect.
