[Motorola Droid 3] WugFresh:
Thank you cellzealot, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post and providing additional specific information on the exploit itself. I also greatly appreciate your candidness regarding TBH's reasons for not wanting to continue publishing these simplified update.zips.

To be clear, I did not think that the zips had anything to do with root or mounting; I was well aware that they were directly editing the radio parameters via the NV update syntax and the values you utilizied/figured-out... the only reason I mentioned that was because I tried doing exactly what you mentioned.. swapping out the DX update binary for the different one, however, then I got 'status error 0' or something like that... my assumption then was that maybe the error had something to do with the way I was mounting the system.. like using MTD over yaffs3 ect... (I never fully understand this aspect of the update zip...)?

Although I tried using the different binary.. I only did so because my intuition told me to, not because I fully understood the hack...I wasn't certain whether or not you guys had created a modified binary, or something of the sort, to make the exploit work. Now that I know that the motorola binary allows for NV updates.. and I just need the one for the proper device.. I have a feeling I will have more luck this time if I try again. I probably just overlooked something small because I was trying to do too many things at once durring my testing (like having the update script also delete select data tracking files durring the patching process) and I didn't fully understand what I what I was doing in the first place... maybe I just fudged some syntax.

That said... lets say I get it to work now... which I think I will based on the information you provided. You have me wondering whether I should ever publish it now... I have no interest in getting in trouble. However, I have no intention of publishing it through an app or on my own servers though... so I think I should be allright. I will just make my own thread on one of the forums, post the update.zip links up and host the actual files on a third party site. not my fault... :rolleyes:

Thanks again man... since this exploit is going to be legacy soon anyway with the advent of more sim based phones.. might as well publish it... right..? You know.. purely for historical reasons. =P

"Are we having fun yet?" - yes.

Nice! Go to it! :D

Feel free to ask specific questions if you have any and I will do my best to answer them. :cool:
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Quick question guys…I've been following this thread for a while now, but I've held off on doing the hack, out of concern that VZW may be able to detect it and disable my service as a result. Has anyone experienced any issues related to my concern, or is the hack undetectable? Thanks in advance for any feedback. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Moon Shadow - NM:
I've done this hack on my Droid X2 and have used it a couple of times. So far, as far as I can tell, Verizon hasn't detected it.

From what I understand, in changing the SEEMS at those addresses, the phone is "masquerading". Essentially, when you use the default tethering app, instead of telling the network that the tethering app is connecting, you are telling it the phone is connecting. So, to make is simple:

Unedited phone:

First SEEM = phone is browsing the internet..

Second SEEM = (I'm not really sure which one it is but it's either...) USB TETHER is being used to browse the internet.

Third SEEM = (See second SEEM...) WIFI TETHER is being used to browse the internet.

Edited phone:

All three SEEMS = phone is browsing the internet.

Now, this is just what I have gleaned from reading and doing my own research.

Anyone have better information, please correct me! :D Thanks!

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid 3] WugFresh:
You might want to delete additional system files as mentioned here :

WugPacked GB Tether

If all goes well, I may have more flashable zips that do this and apply the patch for X2/D3/D2G this weekend... however you can easily remove those files manually if you already used radiocomm.

{{ WugFresh }}
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
Very nice job Wug, well done!
[Motorola Droid 3] Moon Shadow - NM:
Thanks for throwing this bone my way. I was NOT aware of the sneaky tracking that Motorola/Verizon was doing. Thank you for that! I have manually backed up the apk's and the database, and removed them. Your zip flash did not work for my DX2, however, I am adept enough at poking around that I just manually did it, based on your flashable zip. Thank you for this!
[Motorola Droid 3] faylix:
Good Job Wug!

I'm torn on the issue of updating the original post to include this. For various reasons I think its better that users know all the steps behind the hack and are advanced enough to do it themselves...

Right now I look at it that a dedicated user that reads the whole thread will find your easier way and if they put them time into reading the whole thread before asking questions - maybe they deserve the easier way?

Who knows...

I stand with Cellzealot on most of his points.
[Motorola Droid 3] WugFresh:
Thank you. The update zips I packaged in that thread though are only for DX/D2. I plan on making them for D3/X2/D3 as well, but as of now the RadioComm approach is the only way to change radio baseband values on those devices. However deleting those system files is important in my opinion if you ever plan on utilizing this exploit on Gingerbread.

I could easily make a flashable that just deletes those files .. but it seems silly to me if its not an all in one solution.

Since as it stands this is a manual approach anyway, I would strongly recommend including that information in the OP, and crediting Snow02 (from DXF) for the original discovery.

Users should be informed about those data tracking files, and should take the steps to completely remove them or disable them by changing their extension to .bak with a root file explorer app (or terminal if they are extra nerdy.)

Just using RadioComm is not enough for Gingerbread. Users shouldn't be punished for not reading the whole thread IMO.

@cellzealot

On D2G is stalls 1/4 of the way through. I haven't heard back from D3 beta testers yet... and as far as the X2 is concerned.. I am stumped, because there is no update binary for that device as far as I can tell. All devs are using the old syntax updater scripts without binary.

Can you provide me any information as to why it might be stalling on the D2G? Or any tricks I might be able to employ to make it work?

To be clear.. all I did for my beta1 test was swap out the binary file from TBH DX patch with D2G binary to see if it works. It didn't so I am at a standstill... The next step would be for me to include the script for removing those data tracking files like I did with WugPacked DX/D2 ones... but I can't do that yet until I validate the proof of concept for an update.zip delivered tether patch on D2G.

Could removing the progress syntax help..? I have had some problems with that before... just a thought..? Thanks in advance for any additional help you can provide in this regard.

Sorry to interrupt the flow of the thread, but I'm getting an error I can't resolve. I searched forever and could not find an answer. Here is the picture of my error:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/525/error1cr.jpg/

I've tried to run every compatibility mode and nothing works. I've tried changing where the program is installed, reinstalling, different versions... I always get this error no matter what.

Anyone know how to fix? :(
[Motorola Droid 3] eth3rton:
Help!?

I have used the TBH method to unlock several phones and have been very successful with it. I have unlocked my DX2, a D2 and 3 DX's (all mine or family members). I had to swap out my phone for a brand new DX2 from Verizon and for the life of me it is giving me errors. I have completely reinstalled the drivers & radiocomm. Radiocomm recognizes the phone as the light changes colors in the upper corner but when you try to get the SW or 8040 through 8043 128 bit keys it errors. Has Verizon changed something preventing this from being done. It attempts but comes back red. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

This is the error its giving me :
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I, too, am having issues with this. I've done it successfully a few times now, and even after, I occasionally get bumped to the VZW page telling me about tethering and to buy the service. It will work one day, then bump me to this site the next. Nothing changes.
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
I don't have a DX2 so I can't comment on whether the diag interface had changed but I tend to doubt it. I just tested it again on my D3 and was able to make the edits with the latest leaked firmware revision. When you see an error like that referring to the PST handle to device being invalid it is, once again, always a driver or PC config issue. You can try to force the Motorola Networking driver to a different COM port in Windows device manager but that shouldn't be necessary. I have a lot if different devices and my laptop can see all of them and last I looked I think the Bionic loaded as Motorola Networking driver #24, so it should be able to handle a large number of COM assignments without issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] eth3rton:
Could it have something to do with multiple X2's or devices on the computer?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Oddly enough, I just got the same error today. I can't figure out why it will work one day then not work again. Or why, suddenly, RadioComm is giving us these errors. I tried installing new drivers (from the TBH app) and now RC won't even detect my phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] jaredb03:
I have tried this on my Droid X2 on 3 different computers and i keep getting the same error. 2 Windows 7 systems and one XP system all of them with the latest Radiocomm, and drivers. Any ideas on what i should try?

I don't want to spend a fortune on headphones, but would like something of reasonable quality and fit. I picked up some Senheiser HD408 headphones for $50 at futureshop. I have not opened them yet, but am going to see if I can get any good feedback on an alternative before opening them.

Please keep any suggestions below $100. There has to be some good 'bang for the buck' headsets out there.

Thanks!

I use a set of Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headphones and they work pretty well. Sound quality is good, they are really light and small, rechargeable and they are sweat proof so I can wear them when I workout (cause we all know how important it is to maintain ones figure). My only real complaint is that I have a huge melon head so the headband, which is a behind the head design, kinda pinches on the sides which after about an hour starts to kinda annoy. Other than that, which is more a personal design flaw than anything manufacturer related, I really like them. I think I paid like 60 bucks for them, so they are semi-reasonable.
[Acer Iconia A500] mommehK:
JVC Flats. Walmart. Multiple colors. $15 or less.

Seriously, these are hands down the BEST headphones I have ever owned. The bass is BEAUTifUL...crystal clear sound, an unbelievable bargain for the sound quality you can get.

The earpieces are leatherish, cushy, and set nicely against my ears. If/when these ever break, they will be replaced with another pair.

My only negative comment about them?...they don't come in green. :-)

[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
This was a tough choice given all the different kinds of headphones and pricing all over the place. I decided that I wanted something 'mobile' so big, bulky headsets were not the answer. I am not fond of earbuds, but decided to give them a try since they would meet the portability needs.

I picked these up:

http://www.klipsch.com/image-s4-black-in-ear-headphones

It takes a while getting used to them fitting in your ear, but the sound is simply incredible! The only thing I don't like is that the male plug is not L shaped and the wiring feels a bit too flimsy.

[Acer Iconia A500] BillC:
Check out the reviews and measurements at Headroom, headphone.com. Good recs at several price ranges
[Acer Iconia A500] Z_Black:
I will second the S4's. I have a pair of the S4I's, (used to have an iPhone) and you cannot beat the sound quality you get for the price. They are top notch, very comfortable, once you get the right fit, and I have 0 complaints on them.

The wiring is thin and feels flimsy but I have yet to have any issues with them. I've had them for maybe 10 months now. If you want to go more "rugged" they have the S5's which are the same thing only built to withstand more.

I keep going back to Sony's sub 20-dollar earbuds in the roll up case.

V-Moda Bass Freq headphones. $12 shipped on eBay. They provide huge bass, great sound quality and block out a ton of outside noise. I've had a half dozen pairs since discovering them back in 07. Been the only thing I've used since then. Highly recommended!
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
I know you don't want to spend this much but when it comes to head phones you get what you pay for.

I bought a pair of Bose head phones 3 years ago for $130 and I use them everyday of my life during my job for about 4 hours. There super clear and have a very balanced bass but can be picked up greatly!

Just think about it. $50 now, then in a few months another because they were blown and so on or $130 for the next 4-5 years. Mine are in perfect condition and have no crakling even after the abuse I put them through.

Go to best buy or any place that has them on display and try them out, not the noise canceling ones though there $300! Also never buy headphones before you buy them.
[Acer Iconia A500] Ragnorok64:
I've had several pairs of these And I really like them. I'm surprised they still remain the best bang for the buck. I'd have figured something would have dethroned them by now.
[Acer Iconia A500] TheChillburger:
I have a set of Audio Technica ATH-AD700's, but they do look pretty ridiculous. Good thing I'm too distracted by the awesome sound stage to care ^_^

Skullcandy Skullcrushers

If you like bass then these are for you they have in ear subwoofers I have a pair and love them I got them for around 40 on eBay... all of my buddies like them better than dress.... they don't sound leak so other people arnt bothered by your loud music the noise canceling is great I mow the lawn with them
[Acer Iconia A500] naplesbill:
Or you can do what I did, buy them for $20 at a garage sale. Brand new unopened package. I know, I got lucky.

Seriously though, the sound quality of these headphones is amazing. The other thing is that there is almost zero sound leaking. At full blast, people around you won't even notice.

[Acer Iconia A500] eksasol:
Not sure I am allowed to post link to exterior destination, but head-fi.org is a better place to ask and headphone.com is a good place for info, not buy though since they're price is high.

Right now I'm using the Sennheiser MX580 as open earbuds and Etymotic HF3 as in ear monitors, both have excellent clarity. Both of this brand hav3 many choices at diff price though. Beside Sennheiser and Etymotic, you should also look at AKG and Beyer Dynamic, they are all professional brands for audio productions.

If you want an earbud with lots of bass just get the Palm Pre headset which cost $2, better than most $20-30 ones you find at regular stores.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
You cannot go wrong with Sennheiser gear - but I suggest Aerial7 gear personally. Either way you are going to get some quality equipment.

Aerial7 gear = http://www.aerial7.com/ -- been a user of their hardware for ten years now - I would recommend their gear to anyone looking for pure 100% win.
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
I owned a pair of sennheisser 428 headphones and while the sound was excellent the bass was lacking. Yes i did the burn in process by repeating my dubstep playlist through them non stop for 3 days straight and although they did have more punch in the end my phillips over the ear 15 dollar headphones still produced more bass so I returned them for the next model up, was not dissapointed.

on the go I use my old blackberry earbuds. they still sound great.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j_mullet:
Hello all. I need some help. I recently traveled down to the US, and decided to place my blackberry (rogers) sim card into my fido nexus s, to avoid getting charged on the fido account. everything worked great. Until I came back to Canada, and tried to use the fido sim card. It will not recognize my fido sim anymore, it says emergency calls only and sos over the signal. If I try to edit the apn's they won't save. Thought it was a bad sim, so I went to fido, and asked for another, so they gave me one, and it doesn't work still, and they tried it in a different phone and it worked at the store. so I am lost. If I re insert the rogers sim, I am on the network right away. I called rogers, I called fido, I went down to the fido store in person. I searched the net. I've done a factory reset, I've done restores. I've tried to use unlocking apps from the market. The phone just thinks there is no sim card. I am running miui, and while in the bootloader, the carrier info says that it is at&t... I did flash the rom while in the US to an updated version, with the rogers sim. I have tried to reinstall the rom after that, updated the rom, flashed the kernel and the radio, but with no success. Can anyone please help?

[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
Well if you unlocked your bootloader you void your warranty regardless of the issue. That doesn't mean moto won't fix a phone with an unlocked bootloader but it does mean they can choose not to because of it.

When you unlock your bootloader it burns a physical fuse. So they can tell.

Don't know who your carrier is, but I would try going through your carriers return/exchange program before I go to motorola.
[Atrix 4G General] maya.priscilla:
How do you know a fuse is burnt out?
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
No one ever stated that "burning a fuse" was literal as much as an expression to convey the idea of a (presently) irreversible programming process, but I'm quite sure they can dig that information up if they know where to look in your phone's code.

Regardless, yes, unlocking, just as much as doing pretty much anything you can do through this forum, voids your warranty. That's exactly why the hard-brick from going from the OTA GB to OTA previous versions is so dreadly feared.

Coming from an iPad2, the only thing i miss was my smart cover. Allowed protection without adding bulk.

I know it wouldnt work quite the same but I saw something similar for a Galaxy tab. It has a thin (metal/plastic?) backplate to hold the front piece. Perhaps it could be magnetic where the two ends meet to keep it closed.
