[Vibrant Accessories] kxlling:
So I ordered mine on Friday and got it today (Wednesday). I got one of the $12.99 used ones from ebay. So my thoughts on it are mixed, before I was using.a CS 3000mAh battery and it actually lasted me the night at work, I work a 10 hour shift and have music playing on my vibrant for around 8 of them, i'm in and out of a cooler all night and the basement of the casino (I live in Vegas) so I lose my signal constantly and my phone always searching and reconnecting (also I send dozens of texts and very heavy data/Web use), so I need extended life. Now the old extended buttery added some weight and size increase too but the power skin makes the phone feel huge. It's nice to have some protection on it though. On top of the extended battery I always used a belt case (no pocket space for my phone) but with the power skin it no longer fits. One concern I have and can't test till I get back to work is that the case sticks out over the headphone jack kinda far and i'm not sure they will plug in correctly.

Overall the power skin does it's job but i'm glad I only paid $12.99, if I paid the $54.99 box price I would have been pissed...

I'm going to try and use it for a while, but I have a feeling I'll be going back to the regular extended battery.

Whilst out walking the dog I noticed a htc phone facedown on the pavement, there was no body else about so I picked it up...

Turns out to be a wildfire with vodaphone sim and security gesture locked.

What should I do?
[Wildfire General] Alyzembawy:
Is the phone rooted or not ?!

If not just Hold Volume Down + The power button to boot into hBoot menu, then choose clear storage and choose yes, this will hard reset the phone and it will be as new, enjoy it :D :D

LUCKY!! -.-
[Wildfire General] Andyokane:
Hi, no doubt its rooted. Yeah I know how to wipe it but didn't know if it was blockable by the carrier. Thibk its pay as you go to be honest!

I have a rooted desire myself but might give it to the misses ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrishna86:
Dear All,

I am trying to develop an app which calls a external program (written in C) using Runtime.getRuntime().exec method. This program is basically an gstreamer based rtsp server and it works good if I run from the android command prompt. However, when I run the program from the app, I am getting the following error.

Failed to bind socket (Permission denied)

I had given the network access in my AndroidManifest.xml file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

I also tried this

String cmd = "ping localhost";

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

for which I got

ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted

I also tried to run an another program from an app (which shows an image on the android screen - surfaceflinger sink). So, I included android.permission.ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER in the manifest file. However, it wasn't able to display on surfaceflinger sink.

So, I have a feeling that these permissions are not passed on to these external programs. Is there a way to achieve this? I don't want to convert these 'C' based programs to Java. Can anyone please help me out.

Thanks,

Krishnan

I know there have been other threads about this but I just dont understand how to unlock the phone. I downloaded the ace and hack ace but what do i do from there ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
You can get some real-time help with the hack kit most days (and maybe evenings but I don't know how late the gurus hang out as I leave at around 4PM CST) at ATTN1's IRC chat channel:

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Honestly, if you just want to unlock your phone, you should consider getting the unlock code for it, even if you have to pay for it. Trying to root your phone here is just going to get you in some kind of trouble. Now if you can take a good butt chewing, go for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drizzit03:
I am a first timer here, and I felt very lost in all of the forums and with the Ace Hack Kit. But low and behold, I did it. My advice, read the effen-manual that come with the Ace Hack kit (included in the zip file) over and over. And then one more time. I promise all of the instructions are there. I felt like it was missing steps and i didn't even know where to start, but all of the instructions are there, and it's easy once you do it.

If you really want to root your phone, stick with it. Just make sure you understand the possible side effects, and that you WILL void your warranty. My battery life is so much better now after a root, and you can customize almost anything. I love it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
The instructions really are all in the effen manual, but it can be a little confusing to get started. Assuming you're using a PC: First, download the hack kit to your computer. Create a new folder on your computer anywhere you'd like, and drag all of the files and folders out of the hack kit .zip file into your new folder. Now, connect your phone to your computer via USB, and set it to Charge Only mode. Go to Settings - Applications - Development and make sure USB Debugging has a check mark. Now, open up your new folder, right-click on hack-ace.cmd and choose Run as Administrator. A command prompt window will open, give it a minute and it should display a window with 3 options. Choose option 1 (Hack my Inspire/DesireHD). This should get you well on your way, follow the instructions in the effen manual from this point (starting at Root/S-Off Menu Steps).

And if you have trouble, like Gene Poole suggested, visit ATTN1's IRC Channel for further assistance

[Defy General] Whiskey Kid:
Hello, all. I am stuck in a boot loop. It occurred when I rebooted after reestablishing 3G as discussed in this thread. I had made a recovery using the Recovery App (from aforementioned thread) before proceeding which created a cache.img, data.img, system.img and .android_secure.img. I have these images in a secure location, but cannot access them via the recovery console. So I tried going through the stock recovery wiping settings and cache and then rebooting as suggested in this thread. I have tried flashing a stock US SBFs from this thread on XDA-Dev and And-Dev (here) using RSDLite versions 4.5.3, and 4.6. I get this output from RSD:

My battery is fully charged, but still I cannot flash any of the SBF files. I have tried to not post for as long as possible, because I value your time and work, opting instead to scour the forums. If I have missed something, then I apologize for cluttering up the forum. But if there is anyone out there who can help me safely get out of this boot loop, I would appreciate it so very much. Thank you XDA-Developers, you're my only hope.

John

Conclusion:

Sweet. So my problem was that I was using an older version of RSDLite. As hinted at by farsight73, there was a compatibility issue with my machine and RSDLite 4.5.3 and 4.6. Several threads suggested that I try a later version of RSD to get it to work on my M$ Windows 7 64bit. So I tried v.4.9 (here) and it worked like a charm. It recognized my phone, and following this great guide I was able to flash a stock 2.2.1 sbf that I found linked to on the XDA forums. Thank you so much, farsight73, for encouraging me to look into hardware compatibility. Worked great! I'll be sure to look into your suggestion about 2nd init. Thanks all!
[Defy General] farsight73:
If you had initialled flashed full SBF froyo and wanted back Eclair then it's not possible.

Same goes to full flash Gingerbread which you will not be able to go back lower version AFAIK. But if you're on froyo in this bootloop then I would suggest you start with full wipe un stock recovery and flash the Nordic froyo of 2.2.2. Might need to flash using difference PC if the one you use is persistently giving the above failed flashing process.

If you somehow able to recover back your phone to live. I would suggest you to install 2nd-init so you can quickly recover your phone in case you messed things up again in the future.
[Defy General] Whiskey Kid:
Hey, thanks for the response, farsight73. I am in froyo, but 2.2.1. I'm currently trying RSDLite on a friend's XP, hopefully that works, but I will be sure to give your Nordic suggestion a go. I'll post the results when I finish.

I don't really know what that is, but I will be sure to look into it so that I can avoid these types of issues in the future. I'm really new at this, so it's really just me hopping around from thread to thread trying to make sense of it all. Thanks again for the suggestions!
[Defy General] Whiskey Kid:
I added a conclusion to the OP. Thanks again, farsight73!

Thanks, kidrobot52. I found and installed the Defy Baseband Switcher v4 from this thread. I picked the bands based on the table on this page. I'll post my results!

Results:

After following the advice of farsight73 in this thread, I was able to get Baseband Switcher v4 (link above) working for my provider and area. Thanks for the heads up on the tool, kidrobot52!
[Defy General] farsight73:
Glad I can be that helpful to you. 2nd-init is another advance custom boot menu with on board custom recovery. It triggered while the phone is in booting sequence, thus, you could always enter to custom recovery to restore your backup rom if anything goes wrong wirh your modding.

Press -vol when you see blue light while the phone is booting. In the boot menu is more of self explanatory.

Always make a backup if you're attempting to edit or modding which effecting system files.

I dont know how comfortable you are with CMD but, What I did was use CMD prompt navigate to the folder and .exe for the revolutionary tool. Put in the command copy and then pasted it from the website. I put my folder on the desktop

Like this

CMD.EXE

CD users\whatever your name is here\desktop\what ever the folder name is

then revolutionary.exe

it launched found the phone and i pasted in what was needed by mouse and pressed enter and then the magic happened. Mileage may vary happy rooting

[EVO 4G General] cobra04972tx1:
I had this same problem, everything going smooth until running the revolutionary.exe and pasting the Beta key. Seems when you go to the revolutionary site for the key, the file that gets downloaded is attached to the key, so go ahead and unzip the file to your c: location again and when it asks, just copy and replace all the files and go through the steps and it should accept the Beta key this time and finish, it did for me. I hope this helps.

That has to be the problem that I was having along with most of everything getting the error.

No way for a old version to confirm key gen that isn't built in that tool.
[EVO 4G General] RockstarBruski:
This is the solution!

THANKYOU!!! That's what I needed to do as I was using the revolution.exe from the zip I got from the larger zip from the root instructions. Once I used the v4 from the revolution site it worked like a charm! yea! :)
[EVO 4G General] demonic_crow:
Another fix would be to try it on another computer. I was having the same issue on my Ubuntu laptop so I tried it on my Ubuntu desktop and it fire right on up. Hope this does help some that are still having problems. It work so don't give up and its really worth it :D.
[EVO 4G General] lojak29:
Listen and follow closely i made a thread already how to fix this

When you generate your beta key it is imperative that u generate it from the same revolutionary zip you downloaded, the reason people get invalid key is 99.9% because it wasnt generated from the same revolutionary file downloaded,

2nd important its alot easier to copy the beta key in the box and paste to command prompt.

Do this by highlight, key in box , copy it, then open revolutionary.exe.

When the cmd prompt opens take your cursor to the top corner of cmd box and right click go to edit then paste, this is because the beta key is easily fudged up and case sensitive.

Remember to have the fast boot unchecked, usb debug on, and charge only on. And have the modified drivers installed

if fails re download the revolutionary for windows or mac or whatever comp your on and regenerate the key from that specific download and open the exe. From that one, and erase all others. You will get zerging root

then when done choose recovery in hboot then youll get a blue cwm screen choose install zip fine the su-2.3.6.3-ef gh signed.zip that should be on the root of your sd card, and install, that pushes the actual superuser to your device

now your rooted fully with cwm
[EVO 4G General] eggsack:
I am trying to root a friends EVO, and it is not working for me either. I have tried everything listed here and still get invalid key.

EDIT: EVerything is fine, I finally read and comprehended that I was supposed to use the SERIAL# showing on the Revolutionary screen to enter in to generate the key. Once I was smart enough to figure that out, DONE!! Phone rooted and flashing AMONRA as I type. HOOAH!!
