[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sookieball:
So that's what I got.

Idk anything about this s-off

And don't know if it applys to me.

But just wanted to know if the same method of root for carrier backed flyer will work for WiFi only.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Idk... Try it and report back....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
1. Wrong forum :o

Which method?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sookieball:
Oh sorry I didn't know it was the wrong forum.

Mods please move!!!

Well they haven't found a method of root yet but was wondering if when root is achieved if it would work on the WiFi only flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
It depends on how the exploit works. Normally here should be no difference. Also to become S-OFF after a temporary root.

Problem is only after we have root-rights, that customs ROMs have to aware of this difference. If not we always need 2 different ROMs.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sookieball:
Oooooohhhhhhh... Thanks elim!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dwny:
The new Revolutionary method works for the WiFi Flyer

Mine is done......
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
dwny, can you give me you SW version. Trying to compile a list of working and non-working versions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CrippleB:
Seems like the only place for the view currently.

I used revolutionary on View 4g sw ver 1.18.651.1

Went off without a hitch except CWM locked up the first time I ran it. After holding power button to power down it came up and nandoided for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dwny:

[Atrix 4G General] SolidHelix:
I think this has been mentioned before, did anything come of it? They are still advertising it
[Atrix 4G General] danjbry:
I've seen a few devs around the forums saying that there is no FM radio that is accessible on the Atrix. I've tried a few different apps myself, but no luck.
[Atrix 4G General] hem.acharya:
even i have tried the apps but it doesn't work.. since its unlocked now.. this should be taken care form the kernel level i think.. if any dev wants to enable it he CAN.
[Atrix 4G General] EclipseX:
I already start a thream about fm radio. The kernel must be modified. Our atrix kernel do no have libraries and drivers for hardware. Our hardware have captabilitie for this
[Atrix 4G General] nsaia:
I asked faux123 about enabling the fm radio in his kernel. He's willing to do it, but apparently even though the chip is capable the fm radio output may not be hardwired on the circuit board. He's asking for an atrix technical manual showing the circuit connections before he even begins to work on it. If anyone knows where this type of info is please send it to faux123.
[Atrix 4G General] rusreid:
There's an app in the market called TuneIn Radio....I know it's not FM, it's over data, but it pulls all of the stations around me and then some. Might be a good alternate for you guys to try out.
[Atrix 4G General] hem.acharya:
All r not from USA here and also data is expensive
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Once again our cellphone can do something at the hardware level, but not at the software. C'mon Moto, really?
[Atrix 4G General] nsaia:
Again, we're still not sure that the hardware is even wired for output. That would be a c'mon moto.
[Nexus S General] Swayyy:
I have had my Nexus S 4g for about a week now. I noticed the battery does not charge over 90%... wtf? It's really annoying and it doesnt help my battery life. Should I exchange it? Is this common? i read a few people saying it only charges to like 98-99% but I dont go past 90% an it pisses me off... What can I do?
[Nexus S General] king23adrianc:
yeah it is like that.. its a known issue

it will never go to 100% unless u charge with screen on.

mine always go to 94-96% and it will stop.
[Nexus S General] Swayyy:
I could live with 94-96% i guess... But 90% really? Is there anyone who has a Nexus S on here that charges too 100%?
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Its made that way. Supposedly extends the life of battery.
[Nexus S General] wctom:
You can reset the battery stats from Recovery (or use of the apps on Market). AFAIK, the actual battery life will be exactly the same, but you get readings which better approximate the battery drain.

I get readings of 95-97% on a full charge.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
I get to 98%
[Xoom General] jase33:
I tried this out on my rooted wifi only xoom. It works like it says. Follow the link and follow the instructions.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Perseids:
Is it just me or is the search function on the app pretty much useless? When I'm logged in on my laptop and do a search I get relevant results. When I user the search on the app the results are crap, often from other forums even though I am in the Inspire form when searching.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
i find "search" on the app useless, 2 different results appear comaparing from desktop and app. and also Q&A doesnt appear in the APP for INSPIRE section.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
It's not just you. It does suck. Apparently the search mechanism within the XDA app only does a global search, and only returns a limited number of results, so you end up maxing out with only a few results relevant to the device you're using, if it's more of a device-specific search you're doing.

The problem is there's no way of choosing the scope of the search. If they would simply add three options...

Search site

Search current section

Search current thread

...It would be search heaven.

Since holding my breath waiting for these changes to be implemented wouldn't be good for my health, I just open up the site in the browser to do a search, or do a site search using Google with "inspire" somewhere in the search string.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
....XDA is cool and all, but My Inspire browser is awesome Why do you use an app? I don't use apps for anything I can do with the browser... ..Search function works this way 100%.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
A page in the browser version of the site takes considerably longer to load/render.

For reading/basic posting the app is considerably quicker. But there's no thanks button and as you say, search is fully implemented.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
You are impatient. Lol - It takes like 3 seconds to load any forum page. Especially on wi Fi. Maybe 5 seconds on 4g...er, I mean 3g extended.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Using the web browser loads far more than you need. I just want the text in an easy to read format where you just scroll up and down and don't have to pan left and right. Also, posting pics is less cumbsersome with the app. I also find it quicker using the app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
:confused: There is no such thing as more then I need. I want the works, I want the whole works, Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises, Of all shapes and sizes, And now, Don't care how, I want it now. ~ Veruca Salt
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Hah hah. My bad. I meant to post more than "I" need. I don't need all the extra landscape.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You, sir, are absolutely completely correct. I want that **** loaded *yesterday*.

Don't get me wrong, the full site has far more functionality, some of it unique, but as mentioned, it does load alot of stuff that's unnecessary, and for quickly moving from page to page, especially when looking for something, the XDA app can't be beat in terms of responsiveness in that situation.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
So since there isnt any canadian sbf. i need someone who is on the latest Bell software, to please unlock, and then root, and make me back ups of their current boot.img, system.img, and webtop.img. so i can use the available update and create a safe Bell GB 2.3.4 Fruit Cake.

If you are on Bell latest firmware.

Are unlocked with IHOP.

And are rooted. please post here or contact me in irc webchat.freenode.net #moto-irc
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I`m rooted, on the bell 2.2.2 ota update rom... I have cwm4 installed and bootloader unlocked.. If you give me a quick rundown on how to get the images you need, i can do that for ya.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
windows or linux?
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I have windows/linux dual booting on my laptop. Currently i'm in windows 7.. I can reboot and load linux if need be.. But i have very little knowledge about linux
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
you can use either or, you just need adb

inside terminal/comand prompt

type adb shell

then you type su

and a pop up should apear in your phone, grant it access

then you type

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/boot.img
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
ok, got that one, what else do you need?
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I tried to go on the IRC channel, but it woudn't connect.. kept on getting a server rejected connection error
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
here's the first.. boot.img
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
Try channel #moto-atrix
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I think its the webchat.freenode.net thats rejecting the connection..
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
I just connected fine to channel # moto-atrix Sam is there he must've mistyped
[Atrix 4G General] nate_benji:
I just connected as well.. had to use irc.freenode.net. not webchat.freenode.net

I'm in the #moto-atrix room
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
webchat.freenode.net is so you use it on your browser
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
I have all those files backed up previously if you still need.
[Atrix 4G General] akurit:
I am curious and this may be not completely appropriate but I wanted to clarify something.

My question or questions are:

If you unlock using the IHOP_Bell while on 2.2.2 and then SBF to 2.2.1 FR does this relock your phone?

Since users who OTA'd ATT 2.3.4 using pudding and then sbf'd to 1.8.3 or earlier had hard bricks because of the 2.3.4 ap20 bl does that mean Bell's 2.3.4 with an unlocked bl will not be able to flash back to earlier international versions aswell?
[Thrive General] Natolx:
I attempted to flash the Motorola Xoom rooted boot.img on my Thrive.

It didn't work.

I have been unable to find a stock(or rooted) version of the Thrive boot.img so I can unbrick my device.

Can someone please

1.Provide a working boot.img

or

2.Instruct me on how to extract it from an intact Thrive?

I guess its safe to assume anyone working on rooting would have a copy of it

I would really appreciate the help!

Edit: I have been looking for hours for information on how to extract the boot.img from a device like this and have been having no luck.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Can someone please help me?

I realize what I did was idiotic...

I'll never mess with anything that says "boot" again unless I really know what I'm doing.
[Thrive General] GuitarrassDeAmor:
This is why we need a dev forum! :D
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
someone with a working thrive please try this.

mmcblk0p11 is the boot partition of the atrix 4g

please replace mmcblk0p11 with the boot partition mount point of the toshiba thrive.

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/mnt/sdcard-ext/boot.img

then post your boot.img here please
[Thrive General] Natolx:
In the meantime, I'm getting a call back from level 2 tech Toshiba support in an hour. Trying to convince them to give me a copy of the recent firmware update. So "I can see what they changed, as there was no changelog".

Odds I succeed?
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
what is the exact model of the thrive?
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Toshiba AT105-T1032

P/N PDA01U-00501F
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
lol while your at it ask for the sbk :p
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Hah, that would definitely make for a quick and easy root for the masses using stock recovery wouldn't it?
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Someone tried this over at Thriveforums.org

here's what they said

""su" ? no root ... I get "su: permission denied""
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Well, 2nd level tech support never called me back. Called back tech support and they PROMISED they'd call me back this time, in 2-3 hours.

Here's hoping this lands us an OTA update file
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
try superoneclick first

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
I heard that the thrive comes with a unlocked bootloader?

The sbk is the boot loader and has nothing to do with root access.

with a unlocked bootloader we can root the thrive with the same fastboot flash preinstall process as the atrix.

has anyone figured out how to get to the menu for android recovery, fastboot, etc?
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
btw root is a part of the system.img not the boot.img

boot.img is the kernel
[Thrive General] Natolx:
yes, that's how I bricked my tablet, by using fastboot to flash a xoom rootboot.img. Fastboot and recovery are available from simple menu by holding down power and volume up when booting up.

The fastboot is completely unlocked from the factory, you don't even have to issue an unlock command.
[Thrive General] D3MN5PWN:
Did you take a look at android-dls wiki site they've got tut's for extracting the kernel, if you have access to a working thrive. I used it to retrieve my friend's phone's kernel after bricking mine during one of my first root attempts ever.

I will be getting the thrive soon (Cant wait) and will be attempting to extract the kernel out of the machine. I'll post it soon as I get it, seems to be in high demand right now. Glad to hear the bootloader comes unlocked out of the box. Hopefully you can get yours back up and running.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Which tutorial, this one? Its the only related one I've been able to find and it doesn't mention how to pull the kernel off the device itself.

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

Also, when are you expecting your Thrive? I have a feeling you are the only one working on this :/
[Thrive General] D3MN5PWN:
Wed. Thurs at the latest... Well we need to get developers working on these things. I sense huge potential in this device, as I'm sure everyone else who has half a brain and picked it up did as well.

Is you recovery.img shot? or did you back it up at all? Normally you need someone to release the source for a .zip to appear even one for the stock rom. Google's taking its sweet time releasing the source codes. 3.0 was obtained through asus or was it acer... always get those two mixed up... after all. I think we may have to cool our heels till icecream comes out for developers to start doing their thing (or some big to release the source code).
[Thrive General] Natolx:
My recovery is fine, its just the kernel.

My level 2 tech support discussion was a mixed bag. The guy essentially said it was extremely odd that the firmware update wasn't on the website and that they hadn't even heard about it. He sent an e-mail out to his entire department to find out what's going on. Hopefully that gets sent up the pipeline and it shows up under thrive downloads on the support website.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Looks like none of the oneclick roots work, someone on thriveforums posted this in response to my request.

"Sorry, I tried both the gingerbreak and psneuter versioins, neither worked.

Oh, and I also ran the "Check Drivers" and it said no issue found.

Also found z4root on theunlockr.com and tried it, appears to have hung up my Thrive."

:(
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Someone on thriveforums has a Thrive that hasn't been updated with the OTA update yet. Is there a way to "capture" the update?
[Thrive General] GuitarrassDeAmor:
Couldn't you essentially clone the whole device somehow and then extract what isn't needed?
[Thrive General] D3MN5PWN:
Here's hoping man here's hoping... and what? Sigh some people there need to get it together go pipeline.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Well someone did a system pull with the OTA downloaded but not installed, someones gonna try a cache pull as well to see if its in there.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
No luck with teh cache pull either :( I'm really getting distressed here. Especially because it seems the Thrive has been forsaken by the devs.
[Thrive General] macheteZen:
I think that someone was me :D Thrive ON.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
OTA Update is here

http://www.mediafire.com/?239uts3rdubddds

Sadly I tried flashing the boot.img.p file and its a nogo.

Trying to install the update gives me an error during "Verifying current system..."
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
sorry you did not understand my thoughts around root.

you can flash a preinstall.img to the preinstall partition if it is not signed.

someone with a non bricked tablet should try this

after you obtain root with this method (if it works on the thrive)

then you can dd the /boot partition

with the following command...

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p## of=/mnt/sdcard-ext/boot.img

all devices are different and I do not have a thrive and this info is from the atrix.

meaning that after you root you have to determine what partition is the /boot partition and use the correct partition number in the dd command above.

then you can fastboot the boot.img from a working rooted thrive to your broken thrive.

btw the boot.img.p file is a patch that will only extract over a existing working /boot partition.
[Thrive General] joe ferreira:
I would also ask toshiba where their source code is for the kernel and ramdisk (boot.img) and all the other aosp portions of the thrive as they are required to release the source to comply with google aosp and gpl.

after this is released someone can compile a boot.img for you if you can not unbrick the device with my previous post.
[Thrive General] h20drag0n:
Thrive booting into safe mode.

Did anyone notice you can boot into safe mode on the Thrive?

Here is how I got there:

Power down the AT100.

Holding down the minus volume then press power.

When AT100 starts up the phone will vibarate, release power while still holding down minus volume.

Keep holding the minus volume until the phone vibarate the 2nd time.

From here the AT100 will boot into safe mode.

You should see safe mode at the bottom left of the screen.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
Is this true? The guys I spoke to who gave me the ota update file said that his engineering connection that gave him the OTA update said providing boot/system.img was not allowed
[Thrive General] mknewman:
Thanks h20drag0n! I wasn't aware of safe mode. It did work but once it comes up I get the message:

Sorry!

[Thrive General] D3MN5PWN:
You guys the answer was staring us in the face the whole time... I just need someone that can compile the code with. The recovery log has the answer I've been searching... hopefully. I need someone who has used android ndk to compile binary... I'm stuck right there for the moment, ill keep checking today for answers if you can or pm me... I hopefully will get a successful run tonight and possibly get this rooted... Then we can play ... We shall thrive.
[Thrive General] D3MN5PWN:
Well after i saw the log someone posted I got honeycomb version to run on the thrive... waiting for the results with bated breath
[Thrive General] Natolx:
*crosses fingers* when will we find out if it worked?
[Thrive General] D3MN5PWN:
Now... it didn't sad day twenty mins later i didnt wait for it to finish i have a feeling its hanging... Recompiled with NDK and trying again... Im going to look at the logcat if this doesn't work to try and get an idea on where its hanging. Heres the issue that acer a500 guys had and what we were faced with. Gingerbreak has three modes honeycomb froyo and gingerbread. To detect which version it goes out to the build.id and looks for specific string, Honeycomb is Honey HONEY or honey acre guys rebuilt it with their build id HR166 the thrives is as the recovery file said HMJ37 so we change that in the code and viola honeycomb version runs on the tablet, but it hangs on the adb.. SO thought i read gingerbreak hangs when plugged in... so change the code resign and compile the apk and install on Thrive and run just as any app. This is my next step as adb trys to do its thing in shell. So there you go all my research from my 5 am code crunch... We got this and we will Thrive
[Thrive General] Natolx:
So you got a rooted version of Honeycomb onto the Thrive but adb no longer works? Sorry if that's not right, I'm a little out of my league here lol
[Thrive General] chris6278:
I got the thrive yesterday an have been looking all over to see if this thing can be rooted an this is the only spot i found. Why is there no subforums for the thrive yet? This tablet has tons of potential an i hope it gets rooted soon

I second the question: Did the above post indicate that someone has gotten root? As a new Thrive owner I am so curious.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottcwhite:
History:

Company issued BB Curve 3g

Bought my own Captivate, took SIM from BB and put into Captivate. Voice and DATA work great. Now I have a nice phone that work pays for

Yesterday I bought an Infuse, took 3g SIM from cappy and put in it. Voice calling works NO data though.

Go to AT&T cust center this morning and they replace the sim with a new 4g one. Still NO DATA. Put the new 4g sim in the cap everything works fine - in Infuse only voice but no data which means no email = can't use for work & out a lot of money.

Does anyone know a fix for this or even why it's happening ? Will rooting it fix it ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dajeoo:
Yes, they have to switch you to a 4g plan in the system, your features and cost will still be the same but you will have "4g data plan". I know because I had the same issue. They had to enter my imei number into the system and then make the switch. It works in the captivate because that's a 3g device.

infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottcwhite:
Which means I'm screwed because my IT people would not authorize that to be done as I am only allowed to use a BB or Iphone. Neither do I like. They were quite pissed when I told them I removed the sim from my BB. So no way to use the new Infuse. Not going to make the wife happy considering I shelled out cash for it last night.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
Just curious, did you actually check to make sure 'packet data' was enabled in wireless settings under mobile networks?

That's the probable cause, you shouldn't need to change your data plan if coming from a captivate
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottcwhite:
yep. Everything is checked. Its a 4g issue and my company won't authorize attaching my blackbery data plan to the iemi of the new infuse because we aren't allowed to used android devices
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
Ugh, that's stupid
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
its not that you need a "4g plan" its some network protocol they have to change. its actually the same one that the iphone uses. the guy in the att store showed me. i was making sure they would not touch my plan. no way im getting rid of my unlimited data.
