rm -rf /foldername (e.g rm -rf /system/testfolder will remove 'testfolder' and everything inside)

-r = recursive -f = force

if rm -rf complains about the -rf part, run: busybox rm -rf /foldername

** NOTE: there is no warning to remove the entire folder, once you hit enter it's gone. **

manual page for RM: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?rm (one of many copies of this page)

*-f may be optional, but I'm always sure in what I am deleting.
[General Questions and Answers] bx19:
Thank you very much. Will try that when I get back to my pc ASAP.

EDIT: Worked perfectly as said. No complaining about -rf part also. Thanks again for saving my time really.

Dude, he put some time into this post hit the THANKS button!!
[General Questions and Answers] bx19:
OOPS.. just a mistake (accessed the thread from phone only).. Thank u too.

Ok. Another thing....

--- is it possible to delete all the files inside the folder without deleting the actual folder itself. Ok this is not much necessary..

--- is it possible to access sd-ext partition through adb. And is it possible to push and pull files into that for general storage / other things.

Devs can't use the existing camera libs from 2.1 ROM neither apply patch on them as they did for froyo, so they need to rewrite them for Gingerbread..but this is extremely difficult..

correct me if I'm wrong...
[XPERIA X8 General] proadi96:
Ur right
[XPERIA X8 General] SaktiMcQueen:
yeah!, i use GingerCruzt ... and the camera limited too, i dont know why ..

make.disappointed
[XPERIA X8 General] proadi96:
Omfg cuz its gingerbread?! You need to rewrite libcamera which needs a lot of effort
[XPERIA X8 General] kiratheone:
if u wanna it, u can try another ROM which no limited camera :)
[XPERIA X8 General] proadi96:
Try froyobread ;) its the best rom ;) im testing kuyadroid right now and its pretty good.;)
[XPERIA X8 General] MatthewWu:
Owh.... I think Gingerbread camera just stuck at VGA because the system don't capture 3MP. But, can we just get another phone libs to our phone?? (Sorry i'm newbie, just want to more learn) Also sorry for bad english :)
[XPERIA X8 General] AntwnhsAnt:
I've already said why and no we can't...if it was that easy devs would have done it from the beginning!
[XPERIA X8 General] Charmed :):

[XPERIA X8 General] qweasd1111:
so froyo based ROMs doesn't have the VGA limitations?

anyone knows where to download these camera libs?? I'll try to rewrite...
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
You're funny.

If experienced devs found it hard, how can someone like you "rewrite it"

If you need cam, use froyo...

you talk like you know me.

maybe it's not that hard just it takes a lot of work
[XPERIA X8 General] SpyderX:
They have to rewrite libcamera cos they can't patch libcamera from stock sources. Thus, VGA for us until some genius rewrites/patches libcamera. :( And DDI, just let him try, it won't hurt. Besides, he's willing to spend time and effort so don't just act superior with your condescending and discouraging tone. Support those ppl who attempt to make a difference for ppl like us >:( .
[XPERIA X8 General] Michal1994:
Froyobreads ROMs dont have VGA limit because they aren't Gingerbread/CM7 -> Froyobread based on CM6 (in CM6 camera have no limits).

Gingerbread have limits because devs schould edit ROM source to fix them. This is so dificult. We just waiting :(.
[XPERIA X8 General] MatthewWu:
So are devs are working on it? i see the dev only developing froyo, also i know Froyobread is not VGA limited, it just a Froyo that customized to be like Gingerbread, but really, i hate the rom. I felt the rom has a minus point, but i can't find it.

DDI, if u said better use froyo, use by yourself! :mad: your post just make my mood low!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanomx:
Hi all,

I've got htc desire (bravo, GSM), but it comes with Cyanogenmod 7, alpharecovery and custom HBOOT (alpha or some like this). I would like to unroot my phone and have stock Htc Desire with stock ROM. I have been searching for any solutions on XDA forums for ages. I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710092&postcount=4.

But I can't understand what i should do to get stock Desire.

Can somebody please help me? Thanks.

Sorry for my english.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Hello. First of all why do you want to unroot? The big part of peoples try to ROOT but are to afraid... You can flash a custom ROM that has only the stock ROM plus a few additions that will make your life easier. (ex.: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916417).

Anyway if you want to UNROOT be sure to read the ALL of the bellow threads FROM THE BEGINNING TILL END and understand everything it is written there and after this proceed:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanomx:
Ok, i don't need to completly remove root. But I preferably want a stock ROM. And I prefer to update my recovery from this stupid cwm-alpharev(v2.5.1.8), in official last CM7 stable mod, there is application "ROM Manager" and there's an option Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (bla bla u must have CWM to use this app etc). Can I do it? Can I reflash old recovery (alpha rev.)? Newest is 3.X.X.X

PS:

HBOOT 0.93

I want stock ROM because i hate this ext partitioning and all about installing parts of ROM into external SD card. And than I had 1GB ext which I cannot use for apps, and 40mb of internal storage. I HATE IT.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Well on stock Rom, you get around 75 Mb for installing apps, which would be over with around 20 apps installed. If you're cool with that, install Teppic's stock rooted rom. You dont need to unroot just for using stock rom.

Last night I playing games on my Leo(MIUI Rom (Lady last 1.6.10 MAGLD android)),and phone was freezed(no respons on any buton).I pull out batery and gona to restart it,but i cant to turn it on.Left it on charger all night but I cant to turn on,cant to turn it on eather in tricolor,its death.

I use to have this Rom about few days so I thing thats is not question of rom.

What to do ,go to HTC i still have a waranty but the phone is flashed?

Anyone have similare situacion?

Sorry for English.
[HD2 General] clyder:
When you click power button to try switching it on, nothing happens? No vibration, nothing on screen?

Do you have someone with HD2 to try second battery? Maybe it is not bricked but only battery died.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well to be honest Icdo not think your HD2 is bricked, it sort of sounds like you may have a dead battery. With MAGLDR you can only charge your HD2 while you have the ROM you are using booted up and running. Also try this just in case your battery os not dead but your power button is malfunctioning. Take the back cover off and press the small reset button on the back, it will be red, yellow, or green. Also make sure to have your charger connected to your HD2 in case the battery is low, it will start charging about half way through the boot up process. I will check back in on thos thread later today.
[HD2 General] ubejd:
follow T-Macgnolia advice, if you can find another battery just to try if phone does boot up... after making sure that its not a battery problem ( i hope it does ) than could be that your phone is bricked and for now only jtag method could fix it.
[HD2 General] Howell:
I've never, ever heard about a really bricked HD2 unless a faulty hardware... In you case it might be the battery or a hardware issue.

HD2 is almost impossible to brick.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Unless you flash the wrong radio, that's basically it.

OP, make sure none of your pins bent when you did your battery pull. Sometimes one of the pins gets bent and it won't turn on, you have to make sure all 3 pins are touching the battery.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
I think the answer to his question is between the lines :

Since Android doesn't/never brick devices and he hasn't flashed anything and his battery was working fine, Simply it's a bent pin :)

orangekid is correct.
[HD2 General] mvinceti:
Thanks for yours answers friends.

Pins are Ok.

I try to hard reset but nothing.

So when baterry is empty i cant charge it with MAGLDR i didnt know that.

Maybe is only batery empty.

I dont know no one with HD2 .

Is the same batery with Desire HD ?

Can i mesure voltage on batery i have multimetar at home.

Im having wall charger for my bluetooth headset with LED when charging its light RED,so i put HD2 withaout batery its green(no charging) and put batery in HD2 its light RED(charging).

P.S: Sorry for all this questions but im use to conect to net over HD2,

now im on dialup and this is very slow way for surfing and googling around.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Ok, So the phone is turned off. When you plug it in, don't you see the orange light even for 1 second?

Also, was the phone really hot when it freezed?
[HD2 General] mvinceti:
No there is no orange led turn on,phone is cold,i even try to charge batery direcly,voltage on batery is 3.75V.
[HD2 General] z3nful:
Head down to your nearest T-Mobile store, most likely they have a battery or two you can test it with. If that ends up being the case, theres also chargers you can get pretty cheap that charge batteries stand-alone, along with a spot for a usb cord to charge a battery and phone at once. Got mine off ebay for 4$ :)
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Yeah, I can't see how you can brick your device without actually flashing something.

I, on the other hand, flashed a bunch of things like an idiot and I think I really may have bricked my poor HD2. It gets no power, and I've tried a second battery and that doesn't work either although it does turn on with external power.

Here's a link to my thread if anyone has any insight for me. :)
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
I meant the moment it froze, was the phone hot?
[HD2 General] mvinceti:
Ye the phone was hot i played drag racing on line with wi fi conected when it froze.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
If it was really hot, then it could be a hardware failure. :(
[HD2 General] beermonster65:
Mine also got hot while running gps and now appears to be dead, have tried another battery but get no lights when pluggin in, no bent pins, is it the motherboard are they cheap/easy to fix?
[HD2 General] alex873:
Thanks, i thought i briked my phone :confused:, i leaft it to charge this night and when i wake up it won't turn on, i was very scared :eek: until i read here that could be a battery pin problem so i saw that i had the middlle pin to high, just lowered i little the pin and the phone booted up, thanks a lot. :)

But now i'm worried because here i read that if the phone get's to hot has changes that it will brick, what would be the best solution to not brick the phone: downclock or just pray and don't use android at full capacity? :(

Sorry for my english but i'm better at reading then writing :D
[HD2 General] Howell:
Bricking caused by HD2 beeing too hot ??? I doubt it...

Nevertheless it is not adviced to always overclock at full speed...
[HD2 General] z3nful:
Bricking from an overheat is quite common, I've seen a good number come through my store with that issue.

For some reason alot people think the dashboard is a great place for their phone while driving around Phoenix o.0

[Optimus One, P500, V General] DigitalAnalog:
Has anyone conducted security audits of the major custom ROMs that are available? I imagine it would be trivial to install a backdoor of some sort deep inside a custom ROM that only seasoned developers poring through the code would be able to find. Just to be clear, I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just asking if this has been done and by whom, and if so, what the findings are.

Hey Guys,

I am currently running XXJVP with CF-Root 3.7.

Since around 2 weeks I have the Problem that my GPS doesn't lock on any Satellite, it actually finds, if at all one or two Satellites in GPS Test but can't connect to any of them.

I searched now the whole week for any Fix, tried several solutions (set the NTP Server to at.pool.ntp.org), checked the settings in Lbs Test Mode, tried various in there, updated to the last Firmware (was on FroYo before) but it all didn't help.

I am not sure if it is an hardware issue as it does find satellites but is actually just not able to lock on to them.

Any suggestions what else I shall have a look at?

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,

Nope S-ON. But I have unrestricted access for the next 30days
[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
I may be wrong here (I assure you someone will chime in if I am :p ), but at this point we may need to keep a look out for any S-OFF Phones as these have the best chance of having a SD Card we can take an image from. If I'm correct in my thinking, this alone wont help us as the individual card should be tied to that phone. Unrestricted access to such a phone would allow it to be studied at the very least.

It seems to work for apps and such in the market so I don't know. Just trying to provide as much info as I can. Just got it today too. Kind of buggy.

At one point would wake to lock screen and as soon as I pulled ring it went black, several times, not sure what made it work again.

Also, hit top button showed lock screen as only top half of screen. Had to reboot for this to clear....

I also know someone at the sprint store in my location and could ask him to look for a phone of that nature if we need it. Let me know.
