[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alostpacket:
A couple of things:

- Starting a business is hard, really hard. You will have to learn as much about business as you will Java. You will have to learn marketing, finance, some legal, some PR, HR, server admin, and so on. But don't let it scare you. It's great fun for people who like to juggle lots of hats. There will be huge ups and downs, but it's a wild fantastic ride.

- Learn from the people who came before you. Read and talk to people who have started businesses or are also starting businesses and are only a step or two ahead of you.

- Dont even bother with AppInventor, it's been discontinued (kinda) And has almost no professional app development use. (It's good for the educational space)

- Go ahead and make yourself an account at StackOverflow, and put a bookmark to that, and to the Android developer docs on you browser. You'll be clicking them a lot.

- Lots of fantastic tutorials already suggested here, but I didn't see vogella.de http://www.vogella.de/android.html

- Try and start small. I know this has been said 100 times but think of a single thing like "write to a text file" that you want to do -- then make yourself do it. And do it in your own style, follow the tutorials, but change them to fit what you want them to do. Make the code work for you.

- Work with people. Your Wife/Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Mom/Dog/Whatever wont really care that you finally managed to implement a dynamic loading system. Working alone will leave you out there with no one to bounce ideas off of.

- Ask and answer questions. It helps to commit things to memory, and to fully and truly understand them if you can explain them to someone else in plain English.

- Go to developer meetups and training sessions. Read books, and read stuff online. The more ways you learn, the better. And meeting people in real life with similar interests is almost always fun.

Incidentally, I maintain a huge list of tutorial websites (at a competing forum to XDA so I cant really link to it), but if you ever have dev questions feel free to pm me, I may know a tutorial for you. Or, maybe better post here, but if you need more info and arent getting responses, feel free to PM me for help, I will try and respond if I can :) ( I only visit XDA once every two weeks or so. :)

and one last thing

GOOD LUCK! :D

I have a Huawei U8120 (aka Vodafone 845) running CM7. I now want to go back to the stock 2.1 ROM but I am unable to because the stock Rom uses amend scripting, and i have CWM 4.0.0.2 installed, which only supports edify scripting. Nowhere on the internet can i fine a version of CWM for my phone that supports my phone if anyone has a version that can do both amend and edify scripting, that would be greatly appreciated!:( .

Not only that, but the new Blur, (which Motorola doesn't like to call Blur, and still refers to it as blur in programming), is now the Motorola Applications Platform, but is wonderfully filled with features on the Droid Bionic. Can't wait to see a port of their "com.motorola.blur.home.apk," and "com.motorola.blur.widgets.apk," in addition to whatever other goodies it has to offer.

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I have a v6 stock phone, no root, no cwm. Thought I would run through the ADB manual method of root to see what happens. I get to this point...

>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage

When I try to do the SU because I get the $ I get Permissions denied.

I know that this method does not work but I wanted to see where it fails. It appears that they may have fixed the glitch that allowed the rage exploit to work.

I also tried cubes other way and it failed as well.

Open ADB shell
Your command prompt should be "$"
Run
kill `busybox pidof adbd`
Re-run ADB shell, your command prompt should change to "#"

Just thought I would toss this out there in case someone wanted to know...

[HTC EVO 3D] 2ndComing:
I just got the HTC EVO 3D, and like a tard I updated everything not really paying attention to updating system updates. Well I updated to Hboot 1.5... :(

Is there a way to flash back or RSD back to stock firmware and software? Or am I screwed until they come up with a way to root at hboot 1.50

Thanks for the info in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] 2ndComing:
Sprint HTC EVO 3D

Whatever we call it for Sprint...
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Unfortunately no, there isn't a way to downgrade. HTC makes it so you can't downgrade the bootloader (unless you were S-off). The RUU would error out at the bootloader, and tell you 'main version older' or something like that. You could use the HTC 'unlock' method and flash a recovery, but you'd still be S-on, and won't be able to flash kernels. If I were in your situation, I'd probably just hang tight for a little while and wait and see if revolutionary gets updated (because it's said that they're in the process of working on the 1.5hboot).
[HTC EVO 3D] 2ndComing:
Yeah I just ran thru the HTC Dev unlock already. Back everything up, and flashed the recovery. I think I will try out the cleanrom for now and see if anything happens. I been up too long and I am delirious lol. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully I didn't screw anything else up hah.

Confirmed it says unlocked, but seems to be some issues with s-on s-off. I was able to get recovery flashed. Now I am trying to flash cleanrom atm. As we speak booting to cleanrom. Booted...no issues thus far. Running great. Now I will try a different kernel and see if that works.

Can any one assist me in fixing this issue please? I've alrdy tried calling CricKet and having them reset my voicemail services n that didn't seem to werk either. So far that's as far as I got. Also, I can't seem to get the thumbnail photos of my contacts to show in the messaging app or whatever, not even as i am in the current conversation with sumone.. it just shows the blank pic. And they show in my contacts book/app just fine. How do I go about fixing this as well? Thanks in advance.. oh yea lemme give yu detail on my phones details to further help with the assistance. I am currently running "joeykrim's original 1.2.0 Odex" ROM which I had gottn off ROM Manager and flashed over using TWRP's 1.3 Recovery ..

[HTC EVO 3D] EpicBarbecue:
2ndcoming if you have the 1.5 update u cant flash any other kernal yet...from what i saw there is like 2 out right now untill they get the source code and you can only flash 2.3.4 roms:)..and if i remember correctly if u can flash a recovery u have s off but it will still say s on
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
Nah we were in this situation for awhile with the Incredible. Nand unlock or s-off lets you flash radios and hboot. . It also sticks through most updates for instance those who had s-off before the 1.5 update are able to go back if they want and are able to root without using htc unlock.

what you get with the htc unlock is a permanent root that allows custom recovery and roms. not sure about kernels as I have read conflicting posts. as always your best bet is to read up in the forums before accepting any updates from htc.
[HTC EVO 3D] leoiden:
any updates fellow members security -off for the new hboot version ?
[HTC EVO 3D] SouthernEvo:
I unlocked through the HTC unlock . Its correct that it doesnt allow you to get S-Off , but from my expierence flashing on the 3D is as follows . If you enter fastboot through CMD screen and fire up recovery through CMD it flashes everything . I have flashed several different roms in the past week . Boot animations change , Kernels change everything changes . Now I have not tried to flash radios and so forth . That may still be locked out I am not sure from personal expierence . I only went the HTC unlock way , mainly due to getting a new job and now getting a discount through verizon . I may (Keyword MAY) jump ship to Verizon only due to coverage issues and the Droid Prime . For the time being the coverage issues I can deal with . Also most of my family is on verizon . But back to the main point . Most of the functions that I had with S-Off I am still able to do as long as I start up recovery through CMD prompt . I have a feeling HTC did this intentionally . My theories on it is , by forcing users to go through the command promt . It "kinda" weeds out the users that know what they are doing from the ones that don't. Yes its easy to get around it and now isnt so much a problem to flash through cmd and most anyone will eventually find the way to do so . But that is how the internet works , information is passed even faster than before and like all information . The ones who really shouldnt mess with it will get access to it and others who know what they are doing have it . When I mean by users that shouldnt have access I mean the ones who have no clue what a Kernel is and just flash things to flash things and end up with a nice paperweight . Im by no means a hardcore hacker or power user , but I do spend several nights reading as much as I can and asking the correct questions before I proceed with anything on my phone since its my only form of communication (no home phone).

I unfortunately dropped my phone this last weekend and shattered the screen. I still have it (probably for only another day) and it still works. Is there any way to use this rooted, s-off, busted phone to get s-off on my new phone that came installed with 1.5?
[HTC EVO 3D] xadidas4lifex:

[HTC EVO 3D] bpdamas:
I already have activated the new phone and the one I dropped had some scratches on the outside too. It would be too much to switch everything that was affected by the fall. Oh well. I am just going to send the phone back to asurion and move on.
[HTC EVO 3D] b43k:
All that's required is that you have access to torq drivers, and have careful hands to handle ribbon cables, and youre good to go! But being 3D when u replace the screen it's not just the glass digitizer, its a whole unit and I think its even easier to replace

I will call balderdash on this, as he only made a video of the GUI, which could easily be cobbled together in about 20 min. The video was uploaded over a month ago (Oct 1), and is "in development". I'm thinking the exploit referred in the description either:

A. Never existed

B. Didn't work like the vid owner anticipated

Even the yousefAK offers this response, from 3 weeks ago (around Oct 21):

"Use HTC's unlock and flash TWRP 1.1. Then flash the﻿ SU files and you have permanent root. The only thing is that you will have to flash kernels through fastboot"
[HTC EVO 3D] mpinson28:
I have a question before the ota update my htc evo 3d was fully rooted, but for some reason i decided to go back to stock and ran the new ota. Could i use the htc dev unlock to unlock the phone and use the recovery that was on the sd card that i backed up when i rooted the first time i got s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
If you're on hboot 1.5, should be able to use HTC dev method to unlock the device.

There are only two custom recoveries available for this device, as far as I've seen: CWM and TWRP. Loading either one of those should work.

Keep in mind, there is no kernel write access while in standard recovery mode.

In order to gain write access to the kernel, there are two main methods:

1) Use my app, Flash Image GUI, to load the kernel and modules while in normal android mode.

2) Fastboot to either fastboot boot c:\recovery.img or fastboot flash boot c:\kernel-boot.img. Keep in mind with the second method (fastboot flash boot), the kernel's modules aren't loaded so these will need to be loaded.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
If you were rooted using unrevoked and have S-off, you don't need to use the HTC unlock method even with 1.50 hboot. Technically you should have remained S-off with 1.50 as unrevoked should be safe from OTA updates making it S-on. Just load recovery again and flash away at your hearts content. You can downgrade your hboot too if you wish.

I did this by accidentally updating with the wrong firmware/hboot. Retained S-off.

Then I loaded recovery flashed roms/kernels etc with no issues.

Then I loaded the 1.40 hboot and was back to where I was when I first rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] chadharrop:
evo 3d hboot 1.5

I thought I was stuck with 1.5 just flashed 1.4 back to good. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
Were you hboot 1.4 previously, and took the update? Were you s-off, and 1.5? What did you do to revert to 1.4?
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
If you were s-off with 1.40 and bumped to 1.50, you can likely revert back. You should retain s-off, I did and so did quite a few others. So I was s-off with 1.50 and just flashed the hboot zip and was back to 1.40 with no problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] chadharrop:
evo 3d hboot 1.5

Yes I was 1.4 rooted s-off befor update. Then after update 1.5 s-off LOCKED. Flashed 1.4 and it worked great. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
That's because when you're S-ON it checks version numbers, but not if you're S-OFF.
