Since we are off topic already and talking about upgrades... has anyone else experienced this??? My upgrade eligibility resets at the beginning of each billing cycle so yea I could upgrade every month if I wanted, just never abused the option. i still havent used a upgrade since january 2010... a sprint rep brought it to my attention like a month after i used my upgrade in january, sprint tried to get me to upgrade again, even after they saw i just upgraded. anyone ever experienced this before? =) heck im definitely not complaining, just curious as how this may have happened...

Ikr, I could always have the newest phones, keep them a month and sale them for huge profits. I won't abuse this loophole or whatever but im sure there are folks that will! lol

lmao, i figured i wasnt the only one! any idea how it happened? i did actually have alot of issues out of my phone and sprint decided to allow me to upgrade early and switch to a different device. every since, ive gotten upgrades every month =) or at least thats how i think this happened, anywho, i wonder how many other people are eligible for upgrades every month?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzule:
Hello, i am starting to become paranoid about going outside with my galaxy tab because i am afraid it might get stolen. I am looking for a good app to let me track any possible thieves like the ones ive seen many times for pc, that let you get the almost exact location where the lost item (phone, pc etc) is and automatically take pictures and screen captures.

The ome iwanted to try is Prey (because it a chilean software, hehe) but for android devices it only tracks the position, but nothing else, and i think it is kind of usseles as yiu dont get a 100% accurate position and it is usseles if the adress you get is a building with 100+ people living in it.

Also another issue with prey and othe simmilar software is the they only work on android cellphones where you have to send a text message to activate the tracking mode, but i cannot do that in a wifi inly galaxy tab.

So, do you guys have any recommendation for a nice software? I am lookin for so ething simple that runs in the background and doesnt disturb me. (and of course.... Free)

Thanks in advance

Samsung actually have features built into the gal tab 10.1 for this.

Go to samsungdive.com. If you are signed into your samsung account on your tab, then you can start using it straight away i think.

In terms of other software, androidlost has heaps of features for free. It doesn't rely on text messaging. The design is pretty terrible, but hey, its free.

As long as there is battery, you can track your device's location, log app activity, send a message/VERY audible alarm to the device, take a screenshot, take a picture with front or back camera, a few other options. Obviously, app needs to be loaded on the device BEFORE you lose it. ;)

Hello everyone, Do you know which is the best way to root android 2.3.4 on my Captivate. Do you have any experience about this. Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
See here... FuguRoot Mod

I know the thread is titled for i897uckf1, but don't fret that, because this root method works for 2.3.4 i897uckh3 as well.

Look behind the attachment paperclip at the Title of the thread and u will find the "stockKH3zImage.tar" that is the original stock i897uckh3 kernel that u will need to Odin back after u Odin the zImage-root.tar to get rooted. This is a very easy method of getting root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] december30:
Thank you. And I need to know do I have to odin back to the stock?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] december30:
I have a problem that I can't not odin my stock kernel, so, can you make me a TAR file that flash able with odin, this my original kernel

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12672792/zImage.rar
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
If u r on stock i897uckh3, the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4, then all u have to do to get root is Odin the zImage-root.tar that is attached to the FuguRoot thread (click on the paperclip at the title of the thread...u have to back out to where u see all the titles to the threads in the development section and then u will see the paperclip that i am talkin about). Once u Odin that tar (the phone won't boot up all the way after u odin the root kernel. It may boot loop so-> ), then pull ur battery, replace, use button combo to get into download mode again and then Odin back the stock kh3 original kernel that is attached behind the paperclip. After this u have successfully obtained root.

Everything is there in that thread that u need to get root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] december30:
Thank you very much but I found another method to do, I will post on this site when i am free. you are the best
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabovalu:
I can enter download mode, using a jig or adb reboot download, but once I do that Odin loses the connection to the phone; it doesn't get re-added.

I'm trying to root KH3, which I flashed using UCKH3 Heimdall-One-Click [beta], but I'm not sure flashed bootloaders? The phone is working fine (calls, SMS, 3G, WiFi, etc.).

Any tips?

Continue reading at your own risk - I'm a noob :)

-------------------

I'm almost entirely a noob when it comes to phone development. But I've done a bit of research recently, and came across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

Now that we too are running 4.5.91, would this method actually work?

If I were a rich dude I'd just go ahead and attempt it, but I have no where near the funds to be able to get myself a new phone if this bricks it. (I'm not even 18 yet, heh)

Don't bash me if this is a stupidly stupid idea that has no potential for success

I'm just trying to see if maybe this gives one of you super smart people an idea or two.

So I unpacked the SBF from the aforementioned thread (the one that was supposed to prep bootloader for unlock) and loaded the code groups with HxD (hex editor)

Using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205527 the CG3 indeed has the values for Atrix, but also using that table i wonder if the sbf file can be modified to include the X2 values instead?

[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
This is a reply to most of the above posts as well as the quoted text.

The Pudding SBFs are signed by two or more source to specifically work with your phone / manufacturer / provider. There is basically no way to get around this besides getting the private signing keys from each source (and you think getting an sbf with unlockable bootloader is hard?)

I could make an sbf with the RDLs etc from the X2 and jsut the BL from Atrix, but the BL is still going to be signed for our(Atrix) phone. If someone seriously wants to brick their phone I'll do it for the lulz. You can probably even recover by stock sbf flashing (no guarantees, kiss your phone goodbye imho).

If you really want to give it a shot shoot me a PM, first come first brick. And please, don't give the file to anyone else, I don't want even more than one intentional brick.
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
Yeah that's basically it.

If you want to try to for the lulz, you would only want to flash the bootloader partition and not with the RDL partitions for the Atrix radio. Flashing the radio would instantly fail. You may need a more direct method in flashing like (dd if= of= ).

I wouldn't stop you from trying it. But you are messing with the bootloader and there's no guarantee that when you boot, you can get into a state where you can SBF again.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

I made it clear of my noobiness exactly for this reason. I don't know these things yet.

This thread should be deleted.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
Yeah. We have the same partition table for the most part with the Atrix. The problem is that the at the bottom of the CG3 file is the signature and the signature is definitely NOT the same with the Atrix. Same goes for the bootloader, recovery and boot partitions.

Now we may be able to flash the Atrix bootloader since technically they have the same CPU and the the bootloader is nothing more than a BIOS. But there is no guarantee that the Atrix bootloader on the DX2 will work enough to the point where you can SBF out of it. Hopefully, you just fail the signature check and the phone allows you to SBF. We'll see if someone wants to try. And if you error, I want to know what the error says.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
You are right on with everything you've been saying. I've in fact flashed unsigned / signed for other phone BLs on my Atrix. The result is a febe error (Failed to boot 4 or something). Basically it rejected the BL coz it wasn't signed properly but I could still recover.

That being said, what I did was idiotic and could have easily resulted in a hard brick.

@Uhh186 please msg a Moderator with a link to this post if you want it deleted. Honestly the best outcome of this would be a soft brick.

[Motorola Droid X2] matts175:
No insurance?
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
If it in fact did flash, even if it soft/hard bricked the phone, would it be at all useful knowing that it actually passed the bootloaders sig check?

Edit: and what are the pros and cons of flashing, I'm thinking this(but could be way off base):

cons:

1. it doesnt pass sig check and fails but is more than likely recoverable

2. It passes sig check but the bootloader is incompatible with our phone( which from my perspective is unlikely because the hardware the bootloader depends on is similar/the same?) and is more than likely hard bricked

now for pro's:

1. It passes sig check, so now we know a little more about how the sign works if even a little?

2. It passes sig check and the bootloader is intact with the ability to unlock(score)

again I might be way off base, but only one out of four results in a hard brick(maybe) and thats only if the sig passes.

Am I close?
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
I also have another unrelated question. idk enough about the hardware, but would one be capable of physically flashing/backing up something from these partitions?

And by physically, I mean taking the phone apart and flashing straight to whatever memory our phone uses, effectively bypassing any soft/firmware on the phone. Basically, reflashing the "firmware" of our phone with an external NAND backup/restore which would mean no permanent brick and room to experiment.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
My main goal with this post was to spark some kind of a conversation between developers. I seem to have done that (woo) and because I'm still learning about all this stuff I'm going to leave it open so I get the chance to learn from all of you guys' smart posts.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
now im wondering if the phone has a jtag port. with minimal knowledge of how it works, i did once jtag flash a router because it only took signed firmware images.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
So is that basically bypassing the check and putting it straight on it?

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
Interesting. the2dcour, could you shed some light on which bootloaders you tried to flash on the Atrix? If that is true in what you are saying, the signature check is NOT in the bootloader. I went through the bootloader with a hex editor again and noticed that all the "Failed to boot #" errors I get with my tests are not in there. It is an assumption that I have to undo in my mind. This leads me to ask a new question in my mind: Where in memory space is this signature check?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Good stuff.

Please save thread.
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
I'm not sure. There might be. You may need to open the phone to do it. There is a tool that NVidia uses called NVflash to flash certain items as it relates to the bootloader. To my understanding, the hardware will always try to default to that mode first in case something goes wrong at bootup (basically allowing you to flash a new bootloader if you brick for bootloader development purposes). NVflash requires a different type of usb cable. Also, there is a possiblility that you need to send some kind of unlock command to the phone to use NVflash (i.e. the shipped-production phone may be protected if NVflash fell into us hackers).

That's not the problem. Both SBFing and direct byte-by-byte partition flashing (dd if= of= ) allows us to flash signed partitons. The problem when you restart the phone and the phone notices a signature error in a signed partition, the signature check throws up a big "wth is this on the phone" error and (should) soft brick with RSD support so you can SBF to normal. The problem is not "can we flash an unsigned data onto a signed partition?" The problem is "can we boot unsigned data in a signed partition?"
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
I +1'd you for the insight/hard thinking. You deserve it. Now on to answering your questions. The2dcour threw together an SBF for me a while back, it flashed, and everything went through, but my phone was completely unchanged. So it passed the signature check, these are easy to sign, which is why we see a bunch of sbf's for the OG Droid or Droid X that do certain things, however, if I understand correctly, anything that deals with flashing the bootloader and/or kernel, ends up being completely ignored if the SBF doesn't include our specific device unlock key, because the bootload and kernel are encrypted, and thus are untouchable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've noticed.
