*Info*

Sorry for Posting this again. This Post was deleted from XDA without any reason. So here it is... back again, cause some people asked for it.

Hey Guys,

so if you have the same problem like me, that superoneklick tool hangs at “Running psneuter” than you should give this a try.

this works only on s-off devices. all you s-on´s you have to wait for other options or find someone with a xtc clip.

DISCLAIMER: i´m not responsible for bricking your device. do everything in this guide at your own risk.

- download the PG88IMG-unsecured_bootimg.zip

- rename it to “PG88IMG.zip”

- put it on the root of your SD card

- reboot into hboot and wait.

PG88IMG-unsecured_bootimg.zip

bootloader will automaticly chack this file (ignore the security flag ;-) ) and flash this unsecured boot.img.

reboot your phone and use superoneklick tool the normal way.

rename the PG88IMG.zip to something else or the bootloader will try to flash it every time when the phone starts in bootloader.

hope this will help those who could root even with s-off.

kind regards

stephan

No problem, and very well spotted, have you any idea who deleted it and why? as I know that I found this post very useful and without it wouldn't be where I am now.

Thanks again! :)
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
i asked one of the mods... he will have a look at that when he is at home.

very starnge... never saw that someone deleted those posts which are basement of rooting and modding ;)

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, this is good, and probably makes superoneclick work, but isn't it much easier to use Gingerbreak instead ?? I'm thinking since everyone is using this method, Gingerbreak must have a few cons. Can anyone tell me what they are? Or am i better off using gingerbreak after i S-OFF with a XTC Clip?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I used this then super one click and it was literally that, very easy.

Would recommend that need method, after reading disclaimer.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What does "Enable Non Market Apps" do?? Is it the same as enabling apps from unknown sources? Sorry for this nooby question :P

I used "superoneclick" too, and it was very easy.

Good stuff LBC
[HTC Desire S] saluki1:
I used unsecureboot and oneclick method. I got root. But now I can enable wireless no more. Rebooting the phone or unroot with one click did not help..

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] adridu59:
Flash a Custom ROM.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I dont understand why people would still want to use this?

Isnt it redundant now since gingerbreaks out.

Once your s-off Gingerbreak works a treat, no need to flash a boot.img :confused:
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
you have to update your kernel. this unsecured bootimage contains an old kernel and no mudules for wifi or else.

after you got root you have to flash clockworkmod recovery and than a custom rom from this forum to get a working kernel with it´s modules.

this bootimage is only for rooting and flashing recovery... after that you have to reflash an actual kernel which is in every custom rom here.

hope that helps

regards

p.s this boot img is from times whre gingerbreak didn´t work for the desire s... since gingerbreak 1.2 roots every desire s with s-off there is no need for that way of rooting.

some people wanted this again after it was deleted... there is no need for this until gingerbreak works very well.

I flashed an original rom and got root with gingerbreak 1.2. Now it works fine.

Problem was gingerbreak thread was not on the first page and I was in a hurry (as usual :D)

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I thought the same thing. I don't wanna mess with stuff that i don't need to, so i'll us gingerbreak as well. One question though - did your SD card have data on it, or did you format it ?(it says to format in gingerbreak thread)If you didn't, did you lose the data on your SD card? Cuz there have been such reports (on other phones).
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I left the data on it as i was bothered about losing it to be honest lol.. however it didnt remove any data when i did it, but there have been reports of it erasing data so its your choice, backup to pc/laptop just in case ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
k, but the data on my phone is about 4 GB (i play a lot of HD games :P ), so i'd rather use another SD card for gingerbreak, and put back my own after ROOT. That should work, right?
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Thats fine lol..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interestingfellow:
first off, let me say that suggestion feature when you go to make a new post, is awesome. but i didn't find an exact answer.

As per this thread I'm trying to find, copy, and read the PIM.vol file.

I went to sync my phone via active sync, after having installed outlook (so I could do my contacts too) and couldn't get it to connect. So I deleted the partnership on my XP sp3 machine, and partnerships in my HD2. But like a friggin idiot, I didn't uncheck all the boxes for the items in the partnership on the HD2, and it removed stuff unexpectedly. My main concern is all my contacts. Sure, I have most of'm on my sim, but not any from the last 6 months or so. I work for myself, and just lost a ton of clients names and numbers, and need to get them back!

how do I do that?

*EDIT*

Googling this further is not helping my outlook on life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interestingfellow:
And I now further hate M$.

Fv(k you billy, I'm loading android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
I definitely understand your frustration... the same happened to me quite some time ago.

I was a bit more lucky because as a "flashaholic", I made backups of all my stuff all the time, let´s say at least once a week.

If there´s no backup at all (not even PIM Backup, Google Mail, MS MyPhone or whatever in addition to Outlook), data is lost...

The thing what happened here is not a Windows Mobile issue only, it happened to quite a lot of friends with their iPhone or Android devices, too.

A decent backup solution is always recommendable, especially if you´re using the data in your own business... even with Android, trust me on that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interestingfellow:
Well, I only lost bout 35 new contacts (that weren't on my sim), and I can, with some work, recover the ones missing that I need to with some work.

And, I'm most annoyed at the fact that I deleted the "partnership" and it took all the data with it.

I also, as it just so happens, redid all my other computers with upgrades and fresh installs, as well as cleaning out both my backup drives, purging "unnecessary" info (unnecessary my ace).

That's ok, now I have to get all my data straight, and backed up, so it's a good time to hard reset, and load up some other OS to try out! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
look in the Outlook's recycle bin, with a bit of luck your 35 contacts might have ended there
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicai:
been there, done that ..

fortunately had some backup few months old .. so no new contacts .. tough luck .. but now i learned my lesson, and i use gmail for contacts, so no matter if i play with android or wm (myself prefer wm) i jusy sync with google.

it even syncs difference (no matter if you enter new contact in phone or google, it appears in both places.

[HD2 General] johnerz:
Now am I getting this right?

The sim is not working in 2 different phones, correct?

If so - then are the sims compatable? (unlocked phones or the same sim as brand, ie orange phones and orange sim)

If so replace the sim if not - then think about it a bit :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Just decided and bought a 32G A500 but..

I can't seem to find a file manager on it.

How do you navigate to the mSD card to install more app apk's?
[Acer Iconia A500] SlayerBear:
I installed a file browser from Market, Ghost Commander. Actually I'm not sure you can install apks from there. But there are other file browsers out there.

The external microSD card is found at /mnt/external_SD wheras the internal memory is mounted at /mnt/sdcard, which is sort of confusing.

Good luck!

^^

[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
So, it DOESN'T come with one?

Did no one at Acer think that might be a glaring oversight?

I have a couple of bought ones backed up on mSD - I'd like to use them, but first I have to install a free one, then install the bought ones, then remove the free one? WOW..

(They were bought under a different account to by A500 account)

Ok, I can live with that, a little backwards though!
[Acer Iconia A500] SlayerBear:
There might have been one installed from the box, but I never looked for it.

[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
How do you install apps from mSD card then?
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Tried a lot of file managers, my absolute fav is 'File Manager HD' free designed for honeycomb!

You can book mark folders for easy nav and ip access to your PC hard drive also bookmarkable, although you might want to set a static IP on your PC as it does change it automatically every now and then if not static...

Network access to PC is in settings top right corner of ap.

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] SlayerBear:
I actually couldn't find my external sd-card using File Browser HD, do you know how/if it's possible?

\\

Bjorn
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Hi Bjorn,

yes it is possible:

Left hand side click System icon,

Top right corner click the UP arrow,

Click mnt folder,

Click external_sd

OR before going into external_sd folder, long press it and you have your shortcut/bookmark made.

Hope this helps...

MJ-12
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
If you install filemanager hd and tap 'storage' on the left hand side and keep going 'up' on the green arrow along the top menu, you will eventually get to a directory which includes usb_storage (usb stick), external_sd (your inserted sd card) and sdcard (the Iconia internal memory).

Hope this helps, btw, filemanager hd is very similar to Astro, but looks waaaay better.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
'mnt' folder must be accessed

And yes I agree with you it does look really good and easy to navigate as you get used to what it can do on setting it up right. Although I always have to keep trusty Root Explorer handy for Root control, but I am sure it's just a matter of time that HD can do this too.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
It seems silly but also pretty much traditional that Android devices don't come with a file manager preinstalled. No idea why the Android team @ Google doesn't go ahead and put together a barebones version to be included on all devices, not like people aren't still going to install Astro or ES or File Manager HD if they want it.

Or, I dunno, device makers could come up with one instead of a gazillion different apps and widgets to give you your Facebook feed ...
[Acer Iconia A500] SlayerBear:
Thanks! I missed the up-button... Doh!

Bjorn
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
YES to that last comment.

My Archos 101 has abasic file manager and a basic browser, from new.

My A500 has basic broswer, no file manager, and (OK, exaggerated) 1000 facebook/twitter apps. (And they all want to run from start-up!!)

Yeah, I know, there's not 1000, it just feels like it.

Hello all,

I just moved and lost my extra Sammy battery external charger....UGH. I've LOVED never having to charge my phone itself.

Just curious if anyone has tried any of the aftermarket options on ebay or elsewhere and can vouch for them. I know they may not perform quite as well as the OEM pair, but if they are comparable, it would be pretty good bang for the buck.

Thanks for any input!
[Epic 4G General] Zexter:
From what I've seen the Yoobao 2800mAh is a good battery. It looks like the 3500mAh's aren't really 3500 and just have a different sticker. From everything I've read it looks like the Yoobao is what to go with. I'm actually going to order one today.

As far as a charger, I have the oem charger, and I have the Sprint charger (traveler charger plus) that charges it's battery pack from the wall, and then you can unplug it from the wall and carry it with you. I can generally get about half of a full charge (while using it) without it being plugged into the wall.

[edit] I think this should be in Q and A?
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I'd go with Amazon.

[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Just a couple of questions about the 3500 mAh battery and the charge dock:

1. Can the 3500 mAh battery charge in that external charger (ie outside of the phone in the charger bay).

2. If you use the dock with the phone upright, does it block speaker sound coming out of it from the back, since plan on using it next to my bed and my phone is also my alarm clock.

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan_maran:
Just got a "new" captivate due to defect in the last one.

This new Captivate worked fine at 2.2 I was in the beginning stages of a prep for Continuum when this happened.

The boot loop seems to be attributed to the Odin One-Click to 2.1, seems almost like there is a different partition layout in the newer build versus the older one. Is that possible? I read something about pit files maybe?

What has been done:

1. Built a jig

2. can reboot into download mode reliably with jig

3. Tried to flash OCD to 2.1 around 10x before I gave up.

4. Flashed the Ursa minor kernel, just sits after stating "converting XX partition"

5. Flashed "back" to 2.1 with OCD again. Boot loop [confirmed]

6. Brought phone into work and tried the re-install of 2.1 [boot loop]

So now I am looking for stock 2.2 images I can flash with Odin, only thing is I can only find Rodgers....

Who has some ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan_maran:
I tried that right after I posted and that didn't seem to work either, it actually froze up. In the end I had a true brick, even the jig couldn't get it into download mode anymore. It was just dead. I'm thinking the internal SD got corrupted.

I returned the phone and got another that I am not doing anything with until the GB update from Samsung comes out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan_maran:
As a follow up it seems the only way to get back to stock reliably with a greater than 1010 build is to use the stock froyo from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=963403

IF the partitioning is fscked:

I'm still researching but I assume it's due to a param.lfs and pit issue. I may rip open the archive when I get a second to see if they are in there.

I haven't tried this! This is not the gospel! Do this at your own risk.

My phone is still stock at the moment and may very stay that way until hell freezes over or the ATT update to 2.3.4 comes along.

Just trying to get all the information in one spot for myself and anyone else who has has this happen. Like finding a pit file from a stock 2.2 build etc.
