Are you downloading the "tools only" or the "full root"?

Also, you could try the "alternative method"

I just had to run it through the cammand prompt instead of clicking on it. still doesnt work for me though T.T now i get:

The phone could not be found or is not ready... etc etc

maybe ill try reinstalling my drivers? when i tried to install them it said i had a newer version already and i would have to uninstall them first >.> I have USB debugging on. Sorry for being so noobish still lol please help me!

Either way, I recommend www.unrevoked.com.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
+1 on the unrevoked method and a Mac. If you dont have a Mac its still pretty easy just remember to install the Hboot driver and your good to go. You will be rooted in under 5 minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazingfly:
no mac but ill look at unrevoked. but i think my issue is that my phones usb port is a bit wanky maybe. you know like i have to have the usb cord held in the sweetspot for data transfer. Its easy enough to do though. but i noticed that yes in settings my usb debug is on, but that the icon doesnt show on the like task bar or watever you call the bar at the top of the phones screen.

the autoroot "kills htc sync" thats the first thing the batch file does but ill uninstall the htc sync and NOT the driver then try one more time then look at unrevoked.

Wish me luck lol

Hi there has anyone seen this screen issue. It just happened as I tried to check my email. The system will boot as it makes all the regular sounds and I can still swipe the screen, change volume, etc. but can't see anything. I've tried rebooting and battery pull. Also its charging funny: the red light is always on, never gets charged it seems. bad battery. Please see the screen shot. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you flash a bad kernel or something. I would connect it to your computer and try some adb commands and install the stock ruu. You may have installed something you shouldn't have. Can you take the battery out and then boot into recovery?? It's like the graphics driver is corrupted.

Alright so I use to cyanogen mod wiki method to get CM7 onto my nook.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ba...efore_you_do_anything_.E2.80.94_Make_a_backup

I write the unooter and such, and i get rooted fine. However, there is only 40-50 MB of memory on my SD card, so I can't put files on the SD card.

How to I get my 8 gigs of memory back?

P.S. Not just get it back, I know how to re format it, but get rooted with cm7 with all of my memory
[Nook Color General] patruns:
When you write the image to the card the software only formats a little more than the space it needs. You can use a free utility like EaseUs Partition Manager to regain the space by either stretching the last partition to recover the space or creating a new partition with that space.

[TouchPad General] yuugotserved:
Is it possible to change the MTU on the touchpad?

I really want to set up my Motorola triumph for wireless tether and apparently, the MTU has to be set to 1472.

there's a thread here

http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-triumph-virgin-mobile/108734-tether-fix-sortof.html
[TouchPad General] cbf123:
It should be doable in developer mode. I don't have mine here to check, but if the "ip" command is there then you could run

ip link set wlan0 mtu 1472

at a shell prompt. If "ip" isn't available, then try running

ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1472

I'm assuming it's using the standard device naming. You can see the available network devices by running "ip link" or "ifconfig".
[TouchPad General] yuugotserved:
is there a program for that? can't seem to find a terminal app
[TouchPad General] Ion4:
From what I found in my touchpad,

Open WebOS quick install find your touchpad, then click tools, Linux command line, type

ifconfig eth0 mtu 1472

then type

ifconfig

Now it will show your mtu 1472 is set... dont know if it will connect to Ad-Hoc but that will change it. Hope this helps...

This works for me

Just try this it works for my Motorola Photon...

http://code.google.com/p/android-wif...downloads/list

Install it

Run it

Menu-Settings

Change Device-Profile

Select: Samsung Galaxy S

Change Setup-Method

Select NetD (Master)

Back to main screen

Click start tethering... now you will get 2-5 pop ups with errors DONT WORRY just look for the network and disregard the errors on the phone :)

And now you are good to go. I have used this on my Photon (MoPho) running STOCK rom with root.

Have fun tethering.

Do the /preinstall/dosu method. that will root your phone.

preinstall fastboot flash on stock unlocked 4.5.91?

I'm in the same boat. I've got the stock ATT 4.5.91 OTA update and lost root. I have not been able to answer these questions via search:

1. does the preinstall flash wipe any data? or just affect the /preinstall dir?

2. does the fastboot flash work on a stock locked bootloader?

thanks.

simply re flash the rosie.apk from the original rom u like...
[HD2 General] paleozord:
I am using a ROM which I mostly like (Elegancia) but on the email tab, the preview layout style is set so that the header section background is dark black while the body section is white. This makes reading the sender name and subject very difficult since the text is dark grey or blue against black.

Is there any way or utility to change the style of this email preview tab, so that the header section background is also white like the body, as I've seen in other ROMs (like Energy) ? Or alternatively, any way to set the style back to the HTC default of just regular text against the wallpaper background, with no little rectangle?

Can either of these things be done either with a configuration utility or through the resigtry, without having to change ROMs?

Please help, thanks...!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
Please excuse my girlie-ness

Ok here is my dilemma. I just got this phone not realizing the galaxy s2 would be coming out soon. Wasn't thinking...silly me.

Now i have until september 14 to exchange it with best buy if the s2 happens to come out in time and the buy back with best buy.

My problem is that I have no idea if the ATT version of the s2 is even going to be worth it. I hear the battery isn't going to be as large and that they're changing some things.

Should I return this infuse completely and just go buy the euro version from ebay? Should I wait even longer for this s2 Plus I've heard of here and there? (does that actually exist?)

Should I just say eff it and wait another 6 months for my next discounted upgrade and go with whatever is newest then before my 300$ buyback expires?

I want the super crazy fast dual core and the gig of ram....and the overall awesomeness of what I've heard with the s2
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Well the window of release per documents on the web is between now and october 2nd.

I have had the chance to play with one....it is awesome...and no, they did not change much.

Is it worth using the buyback.. i dont think so...there are better phones that will release in q4

Is it worth returning the infuse...i say yes...as long as you don't mind patin $100-150 more for the SGS2 when it does finally release.

I have had sources tell me this weekend...next weekend.. and Oct 2nd ..the roadmap says q3 so it honestly could be anytime in September
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
Thanks! Just realized i can't return it completely bc i won't have a phone...forgot my iPhone sold on ebay.

do you happen to know what they've actually changed?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
If the Infuse isn't enough for you, trade it back in. I was in the same boat, but I've noticed nothing where the infuse isn't fast enough for me.

The Galaxy S3 is coming out next year anyway, or another 'super phone'. You might as well wait until ICS drops if you are that worried about future-proofing your phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MartyLK:
I thought about the same thing...return my Infuse for the SGS2 or hang onto it. I decided to hang onto mine because the 4.5" screen has won me over. The power is perfectly sufficient for me and the style and shape are just right. I also am blown away by the extraordinary sound quality of my Infuse. It's at least on par with my Cowon D2 and iPod Nano 3G, both of which use a Wolfson audio chip.

There's so much to like about the Infuse that I just don't care about the SGS2 enough to give it up. My Infuse is satisfying me perfectly as it is...well...with the expectation of the coming Gingerbread update that I hope will fix some serious issues.

Whether you keep your Infuse or not is really a matter of personal taste. I find my Infuse to be so endearing that I can't part with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
appreciate your answers! Thank you.

I guess I just don't want to go and switch it for the s2 (if it comes out in time for my swap thing to still be good) and then be stuck with it and not like it as much.

I do love the screen. for sure. and the battery life is amazing for something with a screen this big....its not too slow thats for sure...but the sound was way way too low for me so i have galaxy tuner and its a little better but i can't find a good set up for the app so that it sounds good and loud at the same time. it gets real tinny sounding.

I also hate that the media hub can't connect with hdmi....has anyone found a work around for that yet? Google and forum search has failed me so far.

Also my camera seems to be kinda grainy and the videos i upload to my youtube channel are always off synced with sound.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resyek83:
Ok so I got impatient and installed the Gingerbread update that VZW pushed out a week or so ago, found the file here since I wasnt one of the lucky few to get the OTA push. I flashed it through HBOOT since it was a signed file, please note that I'm not rooted and the phone is completely stock. I want to go back to 2.2 stock and wait for the official, and apparently I'm not doing something right. running the RUU for the 2.2 gives me a bootloader version error, and dropping the zip named PB31IMG.zip and flashing through hboot gives me the "main version is older" error. I have tried installing Unrevoked 3 and it gets past the last reboot, after "waiting for system to settle" message, it says "running root" for a few minutes then says "unable to get root, is your firmware too new?"

...so yea, I'm guessing I'm S.O.L.? Sorry kinda noob here, came from the Eris forum, I guess theres a few things that are different.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
What problems are you having with the RUU that you flashed? You can't downgrade, as you found out, so being stock S-ON you don't have many options other than flashing a different 2.3 stock image, and/or waiting for the actual OTA.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
The only way i know to get back to 2.2 is to s-off your phone then ruu the 2.2. which will get you back to s-on 2.2, but you will be get the update nag every day once they start pushing the OTA out again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadsoulboy:
For the moment, I think you are SOL, only because the same thing happened to me.

If you have 2.3.4 and S-ON, there's not really a way to downgrade back to 2.2, as HBOOT won't allow a downgrade. In fact, only PB31IMG.zip files that are signed by HTC will allow to be flashed. All others will not be recognized by HBOOT.

Unrevoked will no longer root after you have flashed RUU and have S-ON. You will get the error you are describing.

I have also tried newer root tools, such as Revolutionary, which is in the Beta phase.

Unfortunately, this method is not supported for the Incredible, and per Unrevoked's support channel on IRC, this is not likely, as apparently a phone that is only over a year old is considered a 'Legacy' device.

At this point we can only hope for the following:

HTC unlocks the Bootloader for the Droid Incredible on HTCdev.com. Only a handful of devices are listed at the moment.

Team Unrevoked releases a new version of Unrevoked that can find an exploit for 2.3.4 and enable root.

Revolutionary adds support for 'legacy' devices such as the incredible.

We are in a small minority, but hopefully enough devices will get the OTA, or refurbs get sent out with 2.3.4 that users will eventually require a new way to root.

Hang in there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etek:
Yeah, if you're s on then from everything I've read, your screwed for now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resyek83:
ahh ok....yea i kinda figured. I should have done a tad more research before I did it....everything works ok at the moment, except my battery life isnt as good as it was, but its not terrible. I guess I'll wait for the official OTA or wait and see if Unrevoked can come up with a solution.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBr0ken:
your best option woulda been to root first. While you still had S-off flash the file you found here. Then if you wanted you could have reinstalled Clockwork recovery and superuser and either flash a stock rom or unroot. whats killing you is S-on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Doing that with S-On is what has OP in this position in the first place. You have the right idea but mixed up S-On and S-Off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadsoulboy:
Thank you, Captain Hindsight. In my situation, I was coming from a Rooted, 2.3 Sense 3.0 ROM, with S-Off.

I believe S-off is swicthed back to S-ON when you flash the RUU.

In the mean time, my phone is borked. Too new of a firmware on too "old" of a device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBr0ken:
yup, fixed.

what killed you was you musta flashed the s-on patch for some reason. I ran the same file you did. I still have s-off
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
The RUU does NOT turn the security flag to -ON. You do lose root until you flash a custom recovery and superuser, which is done easily.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadsoulboy:
Any hope for us S-ONs with 2.3.4? Is there something by way of unrevoked or something we can flash to try and get back to root?

There has to be something...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8erord:
So I have a droid inc that I'm sending back in, and I want to revert it to stock. Right now, I'm running s-off, with a rooted stock OTA 2.3.4 (Incubusj's, I think) with the latest CWM. What do I need to do to make this thing bone stock to return it? I've done a search, and maybe I just suck at searching, but I can't find good, concise directions, and I don't want to screw it up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Search for the Ultimate get back to stock thread. It'll tell you what you need to to to get back to Stock 2.2 with S-ON.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8erord:
That thread seems rather old. I'm running the 2.15.10.07.07 radio on hboot .92. Do I still just run the s-on and then run the RUU?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8erord:
Well, was probably unnecessary, but I reverted to the old radio, flashed a rooted stock rom, then ran s-on through recovery, then a stock pb31img rom through bootloader. So it is bone stock again.
