[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjinay:
thank you so much.

so just to summarize our conversation,

I first root my phone by downloading update.zip, put it in the root folder, switch the phone off, and switch it on by holding the vol keys and then click on re-install packages.

Then my phone is rooted.

Now I go to the root folder and take a backup of efs folder onto my comp and also my sd card.

Now to unlock, I use either the sgs_unlock.apk application (on phone) or generate_code.bak (on comp) to get the code.

Enter my new sim and enter the code.

Is this method correct? or would like to suggest any changes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Mostly right, just a few minor details.

The package you're changing is going to be clockworkmod.zip, and you'll rename that to update.zip. To get into recovery mode, hold both vol+ and vol-, and then press and hold the power button. Keep holding this past the first AT&T (or whomever your carrier is) screen, and once it shows up the second time, let go. You'll have to reinstall packages twice to get to the CWM recovery menu. Once you're in CWM, you'll have to tell it to root it under the "advanced" menu, by selecting the root/install superuser option. Then you'll be rooted.

Getting to the /efs folder will require either a root explorer or adb, but yes, you would copy that to your external sd card (or computer, to be safer).

The generate_code.bat file looks ok, and on the phone it looks like you could use either the sgs_unlock.apk or the vibrant unlock tool.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjinay:
Heyy

I am confused about the rooting process now.

The method that I saw is to download update.zip from http://www.mediafire.com/file/c0f9ga18kfakd1w/update.zip

Then open my computer and put the file in your root folder.

Then hold the buttons and select re-install packages.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2Jq2iL6u54&feature=fvwrel

I did not understand your method of renaming clockworkmod.zip. Can you please explain step wise.

I am really sorry for the trouble, but I need to do this soon.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
No problem. I didn't realize that the zip file would already be called update.zip. Whenever I've done it in the past, I had received a file named clockworkmod.zip, and I had to rename it. In your case, no renaming is needed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjinay:
Ok cool ! and I would have to reinstall package only once right?

And after rooting --> then unlocking, can I immediately update my phone to froyo or gingerbread?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
No, you still may have to reinstall twice. Once you've copied the file over and rebooted by holding the three buttons, you'll come to the default android recovery screen with four options. Once you've selected the "reinstall packages" option, it will run some code and reboot your phone to the same android default recovery screen. Selecting "reinstall packages" again will put you on the CMW recovery menu.

In theory, yes. Just make sure you're either on stock Eclair (2.1), or that you go back to stock Eclair before you move forward to Froyo or Gingerbread.

And if you decide to go for Gingerbread, read everything you can possibly find about it first, then read it again. Gingerbread involves flashing the bootloaders, and if you're not careful, you can kill your phone completely dead.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjinay:
cool ! then i will play safe and update to froyo
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjinay:
Heyy

Can I do the above mentioned procedure to root and unlock only on eclair 2.1 or can I do the same on 2.2 froyo also?

Cheers

Hi all

Is there a chance to change the weatherwidget from accuweather to i.e google?

My city isn´t listed by accuweather but the widget look is so nice.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlancealotx:
Read the 'few questions' (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995249) one but didn't answer my simple ones. As an EVO (ValPak ROM) and ViewSonic GTAB (bottle of smoke ROM) I am not afraid to get dirty, but I just got a new 7' Streak and just checking on the following;

Comparing to the gtab with the 1.1 NVflash, does this also have to be flashed to the new 1.2 branch or is that viewsonic only.

What ROM's are available as I don't see many out there, and what is the preferred?

It's charging so I haven't even turned it on yet, but if it's anything like the gtab I will have to flash it or throw it out the window :) Since I love my XDA, figured I would see what you guys are using as the primary ROM as even VealPak wasn't listed here for the EVO but is great, so maybe someone has .02 on what's best for this hardware!

Thanks, looking forward to learning this device now!

[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
How do I use it besides from roms and such? I can't play music, video or emulator roms off of it.
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
Not sure what you mean, all my music and videos are stored on my 32gb microsd, and I have no problem playing them without transfering them to the main memory.

When I add new music to it, the stock music player picks up the new tracks automatically, and mobo, which I use for video allows you to set the default directory to search for files it can use. Just select the file icon from the main menu and press the back soft key until you see the external sd listed.
[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
I'm gonna have to recheck because it couldn't find anything on my sdcard before. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
should be pretty simple

Your external SD is located at /mnt/external_SD - i either use a external microsd reader or ES file explorer to copy files to my MicroSD - after copy you may need to reboot your a500 to have apps pick up on the files. I use a free great app called "SDRescan" - free from the market, no supported ads or anything like that - it will force a rescan of your media without the need to reboot.

Hope this helps - i keep my music and my camera/video recorder files on external SD and have no problems accessing them from any app I use.
[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
Problems solved. The app I was using wouldn't allow it to scan anything besides sdcard instead of ext_sd (or whatever it is).

Is there any way to cut and paste (in ES File Explorer) between the two? It fails every time I try.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Using es file explorer

Cut/paste to the microSD card fails every time.

Work around - copy/paste - then delete files from the source after confirming copy was successful. Works fine for me :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] nytrojen:
+1 for SDRescan. It took a couple of attempts before my media showed in the music player though. Kinda annoying, but bearable
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Glad i could help :-)

SDRescan is a must have tool for me - much faster to run it and force rescan then wait for a full system reboot. I usually find waiting for 10~ seconds after running/closing it works like a charm.

Today I unlocked my Atrix's bootloader, and, knowing that /data would be wiped, I backed up all of my apps and data with titanium backup. The only problem is that now titanium backup doesn't detect the apps that I had backed up, except the system apps. So basically the market apps don't appear. I'm working on trying to fix this now, but if anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks

UPDATE: I fixed it by reinstalling my pro key. Turns out the phone thought I had the free version, and, after reading the website, turns out the free version doesn't detect user apps.

Hey everyone.

Is there any way to watch green hornet without doing the updates? I heard the ota breaks a few things so I would rather avoid it...maybe if we had the updated player apk?

I too want to know. I just watched like 2 mins then next thing I know I go back and it says update available. Im scared to update too lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Same here, does anyone know the answer to this?

I heard if you update, there's no way you will be able to root.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
There is a thread in regards to this...
[HTC EVO 3D] mevensen:
The updates fix more than they break.

There's no way you can root now, even without updates. The devs working on the root think that taking the update could remove some of the exploits they might be able to use to gain access. Then again, HTC has reiterated that they will decrypt/unlock, so it may be a moot point in the (near?) future.
[HTC EVO 3D] umbra6:
Put the HTC "Watch" widget on one of your screens and launch the movie from there. When youre done watching it just remove the widget. It doesnt ask you to update when you use the widget.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
like someone said earlier the updates do fix more than they break, and once root is official they will be able to root the rest of the ruu updates as well, so just update you're device

[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
It got stuck on the "buffering" screen. I just updated it and it works now. Man, it looks a lot more clear than my own 3D videos made from the on board cameras.

HTC has been pretty good so far about making its customers happy. After all, the Evo got Gingerbread. Hopefully, tho, they won't take SOOOO LONG to give us root.

So, got mine today from mobile fun, link Below.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-tv-out-adapter-black-p29839.htm

Mobile Fun's mini Video Review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnU5F_0TyZI&feature=player_embedded

First of all it works, the most important thing, it works well in fact and my 1080p videos look fantastic, those I have downloaded and those I have recorded myself with this phone, they really do look great and a HD TV. So for the measly price of 15-20 sheets its worth it regardless of the issues below.

The only problem:

For those that didn't know, i.e, didn't do their homework, you cannot just plug this in and it will work, it needs power. Now I knew about this and didn't really see it is an issue as I hadn't really imagined how this would look, work and feel. Well I can say that for me (only my opinion) its a bit of a mess, its far from elegant. Basically you have to plug in a usb cable into the adapter first, this powers it, then plug the adapter into the Phone and then the hdmi into the adapter and TV. This is all easily done but like I say it is far from a more elegant one cable solution that doesn't need power and doesn't need an adapter. For me this was my first real disappointment with this phone, a floating turd in an otherwise lake of glittering gold.

Now it could be argued that I knew about this and that I shouldn't be disappointed but I am, the whole thing in your hand just feels ungainly, something you are not going to know until you put it all together. I really don't like the idea that you have to have a second cable to power it either, again I know this so I don't need this pointing out but people should be aware of this drawback, however minor.

Summary (for those who can be arsed to read)

1. It works really well, HD stuff looks fantastic.

2. Its not an elegant solution as you need a usb cable to power the adapter itself.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] diehard2222:
What about the official Samsung one? That one is probably much better.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stoolzo:
marginally better in that the USB input is place in line with the cable and so when inserted it doesnt jut out at a right angle.

This Phone is never going to need MHL, its too early for the tech I think, its a fail for me, should have taken the same route as the LG2x, although even with this issue the sg2 is still the best phone on the market.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ripnard:
Hi. I have expansys version for £13. Also works great. But with yours whilst in use, does the phone keep charge or charge up whilst in use. With mine I find so far that even though the phone is charging whilst connected to the tv, it looses charge :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Maybe thats true for you, I'm using and loving MHL on mine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ripnard:
Dont worry - sorted it. Stoppped overclocking to 1.5ghz and using performance govenor (DOH!) and I can now stream 1080p from youutube over wifi (only works through full fat desktop internet browser mode btw, not via the youtbe app or youtube in mobile broweser page mode) with mobile data off and still charges the phone at the same time!

Wow 1080 video over internet wifi straight to tv. This phone rocks! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stoolzo:
my only gripe with this adapter is that it requires power, if this port was just put in place to allow charging when playing this would have been fine, its just the fact you cannot use he adapter at all without an extra the power source.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PointZeroOne:
I wonder what it actually is needing the power for.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nybreath:
The problem here is that there is no MHL compliant TV yet afaik.

Cause the MHL port in a TV would provide power to the phone without needing another cable.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
You'd want it plugged in anyway. I can see the battery lasting an hour playing 1080P video outputting internally and externally at the same time.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bruflot:
Do you still have to have an external power source on the official samsung MHL adapter?

If so, I really doubt I'm buying one :(

In other words, I need to have a PC or power contact for it to work?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amanor:
Hey,

is the output really 1080p (if you have a movie which is 1080p), or is it Android´s/ the phone´s native resolution?

just wondering ;)

bye
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Its the phones resolution unless you're in the video player, in which case it outputs it in HD if the source file is HD (does 1080i for compressed video, I've heard it will do 1080p with un-compressed video, but not tried yet to confirm).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
Probably for the MHL-to-HDMI bridge chip and any support electronics. Note that once MHL-capable TVs enter the market, it may be possible to use a straight-through passive cable, especially if the MHL-capable TV provides charging input to the phone as promised.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shlomko:
