This is awesome. My SATA connector on the mainboard just broke and the disks attatched to it was my Windows 7 installation. Now that that is gone (until I get it fixed) I'll have to use this method because I had my Linux running on the reserve/backup PATA disk (just in case **** happens, and it came in handy now).

And I really don't want to re-partition those disks, reinstalling Windows, reinstalling Mint (Fixing possible GRUB or MBR issues etc.) So this is gonna come in very very handy.

As I'm writing this I'm installing XP in VirtualBox.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
I had to reboot linux after adding the username to the vboxusers group before it could pick up my USB ports.

But else it's working flawlessly...

Flashtool works in VirtualBox for Mac Users

Hi Everyone,

I confirm that it works in Virtualbox for Mac. The point was: create a blank filter for USB. I did it under the windows machine.

Thank You coverup!
[XPERIA X10 General] anantshri:
This is the key point

I have been using it for past 2-3 months didn't knew that general opinion was that it doesn't works.

well i don't have a filter coz i use my usb devices on linux most of the time so i manually add device.

confirmed working on both virtualbox and VMWare too......... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] m.maga:
Manually adding doesn't work on mac, but it works on linux.

I suppose reboot is not exactly necessary for linux. You just need to logout and login again to update the granted groups.

I didn't create a blank USB filter, because I don't want to catch every USB device.

Instead I created a filter for all devices with just the VendorId '0fce' to catch all states of my X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] SolidStar:
Amazing great work ,,Well done.;)
[XPERIA X10 General] SBS:
Hmm... Not working for me with virtualbox, a mac host and a Win XP guest.

First tried manually adding. Next, I put a blank USB rule at the top of the USB filters. This time, it successfully captured and the hardware install wizard popped up. FlashTool did not recognize the phone.

Soooo.... are drivers from SEUS needed (unclear on that)? Sony pulled SEUS for x10, by the way. If needed, has someone mirrored it somewhere? USB drivers are installed - FT and adb work fine when phone normally booted.
[XPERIA X10 General] anakinlam95:
I'm using parallel 7 on osx lion

windows 7 runs very smoothly and it can read my phone's sd card

but x10 is not recognized in flash tool

i thought virtual box and parallel are similar

so how to create a blank filter under USB in the settings ?
[XPERIA X10 General] SBS:
I figured out my problem. It was just as I expected. A different set of drivers is needed to use flashtool to flash when the phone is in flash mode. It seems that many people take this for granted, since they've had an xperia for a while, it isn't explicitly mentioned in the flashtool posts.

The flashtool folder will something called gordons gate (IIRC). If you didn't install that and try again.
[XPERIA X10 General] vientito:
Does it really work? I just found out there is a problem for ADB working under windows 7 as a guest. It is also documented as a bug

https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6620

Given problem with that, I am very leery to even want to flash anything with that even though it is using a different driver.
[XPERIA X10 General] rapchan:
Very good! After a lot of research. I was already trying fastboot, unsuccessfully, when I found this. Worked perfectly on Ubuntu 11.10 32b & VirtualBox.

One point I'd like to mention is that even creating the blank filter, besides flashing worked on first try, adb was not finding the device. I had to manually attach it, and more than once while rooting it. Pretty easy, but was unexpected and I wasn't waiting for something like that. May help others.

I still have to try filtering by verdor ID as suggested by User Name in post #10.

Thanks!

Dear all guys,

Does anybody know if is possible to use MTK Flashtool under a windows xp virtual machine (host-linux from virtualbox) in order to flash ROMS ¿?

I have already do this step "4. Create a blank filter under USB in the settings of the main Virtualbox menu so that all USB devices can be picked up automatically". But when i try to flash any ROM nothing happens. The preloader is not detected.. i get an error message similat this: "The usb-device is already in use on Host-linux.."

I would like to use MTK Flashtool on linux under a xp virtual machine :confused:

Hello I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, i recently flashed my phone to Cyanogenmod 7 about a month ago. Due to it being nightly and unstable i decided to flash it back to stock with Odin. Now i am interested in Flashing it to the latest Axura Rom. I followed the instructional Video step by step, and everytime i hit reinstall packages it takes me to the clockwork recovery 3.0 "something" with the orange letters, the same cwr as cmo7. And i cant seem to install the .zip files it aborts, and when i reboot the phone it shows the "Cyanogenmod 7" bootloader and just loops over and over. Anyone knows how to fix this or what the problem might be? I also wiped cache and format data factory etc as well. Right now im on Vibrant stock 2.1

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
They got some pretty tight requirements for using/porting their themes:

"THIS THEME IS NOT TO BE REDISTRIBUTED, MODIFIED, RELEASED or UPLOADED as your own.

If you would like to use any portion of this theme or port to a device/ROM we don't support, send an email to our team @ DarkEdge support.

-RULES-

-Any port/roms that include ANY part of the DarkEdge Theme is not allowed on "Rom Manager".

-Your "DE Approval Seal" must link back to this thread.

-You cannot distribute any part of DarkEdge in/with a FULL rom.

-You cannot distribute a modded version of DarkEdge (If you want to remove the scanlines, you can. As long as you make a seperate mod for the original DE)

-In your port of DarkEdge, the name of the port must stay "DarkEdge". ("DarkEdge for CM6" is good, "MyEdge for CM6" is not approved)

(If you have any questions please contact the above email address)"

"10/05/10 Were starting a new "Approved DarkEdge port/rom/distributor program" Look for the seal below on all DarkEdge approved ports/roms. If you want to be included in this program all you have to do is meet the above requirements and an image will be generated.

If you want to verify if the image is not a fake, all "DE Approval Seals" will be hosted on my server (Just make sure the seals are located there)."

Wouldn't want to see this turn into a mess like Matted Blues did.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Unless they've filed in court or have a poor man's copyright hidden away there is no such thing as ownership of a theme. It's more a respect thing.

Poor man's copyright would be a stamped, mailed (post marked), unopened, copy of the files needed to prove ownership should it be taken to court. The judge would open the envelope and check the date/time stamps.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Yup, way we would do this when I was back home in the UK is to use airmail paper which is also the envelope, and mail to yourself. That way whatever you want to copyright has the date stamp from the Royal Mail on the same document, and not on a seperate envelope.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] hahmoode:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateTheGreatt:
Today I took a picture with my phone and my phone froze up shortly after viewing the picture for some odd reason. So I soft reset it with a battery pull. When I started my phone back up I received a few error messages. The first one was that the DRM Content process had stopped unexpectedly (I think this was happening before my phone froze up). The second one was that the Messaging process had stopped unexpectedly, and the third was Handcent stopping unexpectedly.

After this happened I tried opening up Handcent, to which it displays the same force close error for a split second and then automatically closes. I uninstalled Handcent and tried opening the regular Messaging application, to which it displays some sort of force close error for a split second and then closes.

I was running the SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0. I tried updating to the ACS SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.1 to see if it would fix my problem. It didn't :(

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
You had journaling off. You can't reboot the phone without powering off or you wind up with data corruption and force closes. You need to reflash your rom and then use the re eable journaling zip in the development section.

Have you tried a different kernel? Or something you are restoring from Titanium or Mybackup is causing.

I would start from scratch go back to stock, reroot with cwm 3.0.2.5, d/l ext4 conversion here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109362, flash ext4 conversion, flash Frozen 1.1.1, flash journaling enable. Do not restore anything see if you still have the issue. If not then something you are restoring is causing your issue.

I don't have Titanium or Mybackup. The only backups I have are within CWM, made from flashing my ROM. I will try what you suggested, thanks.

To go to stock, do I just wipe data/factor reset from CWM? Also is there any way to do what you said while still retaining all of my contacts/texts? I cannot lose my SMS history. There is valuable information within.

[WebOS Software Development] Wildheathen0341:
I'm currently the owner of a Samsung Epic 4G & although I really like the device I was strongly considering switching OS from Android to webOS or maybe WP7. The Pre 3 has really caught my attention & I was looking to get some fairly unbiased feedback if at all possible. Should I switch & if so to which OS?
[WebOS Software Development] Tachi91:
Well as far as APP developing goes... WP7 has a wider developing network so IF your okay with webOS and its limited APP selection and lack of any modern APPS being updated/released for it then go ahead and switch to webOS.

WP7.1 (Mango) should be releases sometime this year with more powerful phones so if you decide to switch to WP7 i would suggest waiting it out and see what better devices are named in the lunch event and who knows HP might mention something regarding new phones during that time frame

Whats holding webOS back is the lack of any innovative or at lease powerful phones to compete with Android or Apple. So if developers don't see any real competition between phones they won't develop for that platform and customers would be turned away

I've used all OS's

iOS has the largest collection of High Quality Apps, and that gets peoples attention

Android has the best selection of phones with a Good APP market and gives people Options

WP7 has decent Phones and as far as APPs go.. its OK

webOS defines MultiTasking, but virtually no app support and weak phones. People walk by a Pre and don't know what it is so they don't get it

iOS is Apple and everybody wants an Apple product (mostly)

Android is Google and who hasn't heard about them

WP7 is Microsoft and has promoted it better then Palm/HP has ever done

webos has no backbone or software Giant to back it up

___________________________________________________

Me Personally would choose WP7 i like the overall Feel of it and the HD7. The Pre3 looks good but in the Long Run i have better options with WP7 as far as apps go. If HP licenses webOS and HTC puts it on their Phones, Hell will brake loose on the competition

Should you or Shouldn't you is all personal Preference "To each their Own" some people would say WP7!! or will do the same with Android and webOS but the best we can do is open the doors and tell you whats on the other side but only you make the decision of which door to walk thru
[WebOS Software Development] Jive Turkey:
I've got an Android T-Mobile G2 (aka HTC Desire Z) and an original Palm pre. Here's my comparison of these two:

Android has more apps, and doesn't have the country restrictions that webOS has.

Most of the Android apps suck. 90% of the apps I download on Android I delete because they're so bad.

Android has better apps, but webOS has more useful apps. I'm looking through my apps on each. Android has apps like Stupid Zombies and Google Goggles which are really cool apps, but I don't use them very often and don't miss them now that I'm using my pre (yes I'm using the 2 years older device).

Android has Google apps (or better versions at least). Google maps is crippled on webOS compared to Android. Android also has Goggles, Latitude, Navigation, Talk.

Android phones have better screen resolutions and therefore look nicer.

webOS phone screens work better in strong sunlight. 20% brightness on my pre is clearer than 100% on my G2.

webOS screen is more responsive to touch input. This surprised me, because it has a smaller screen I thought it would be worse.

Hardware keyboards are both excellent. If you like physical buttons (e.g. call/end) you have options with Android.

Camera is better quality on G2.

No memory expansion on webOS devices. I can put in up to a 32GB microSD on my G2.

webOS is faster. I was surprised to find that my 2 year old pre is just as fast as my new G2. I even thought there was a fault with my G2, but checked it with my supplier and they said it's fine. I think that the background apps and services on Android slow it down so that the better hardware is crippled.

Battery life is better on my pre. Probably because of all the background apps on Android. The smaller screen probably helps too.

Customising webOS is easier than customising Android. For starters you don't need to root the device. I haven't come across any restrictions on webOS.

webOS backups are better than Android. webOS automatically backs up every setting and app you've installed from the App Catalogue. Android backs up some, but not all, and I can't figure out which ones.

Facebook app, synchronising, and notifications are better on webOS.

Synergy on webOS manages your contacts, calendars and e-mails better than Android.

Searching is better on webOS (Just Type). On Android it's inconsistent.

Dialing a contact is quicker and easier on webOS. You can search your contacts from the phone pad, or even cards view (kind of the webOS version of a home page).

Multitasking is waaaaaaay better on webOS.

I tried to keep this unbiased, but I want to say one thing that is very personal and biased. My Android phone frustrates me, my webOS phone doesn't. Android has some amazing stand-out features, but I think it lacks focus on the little things. WebOS may not have all the big features of Android, but what it does it does well, and with attention to detail.

Edit: I just remembered that Palm Pixi Plus' are selling on Amazon for only US$52. That's cheap enough for me that I'd get one just to try it. Thought you might be interested.
