[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
Hi,

I have noticed that some (ex: 4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7) of the A501 stock updates contains a 3G folder with some firmware updates (I suppose for the 3G chipset).

Is it safe to apply these firmware updates to the 3G chipset regardless of the region initially intended for ?

Do you think they are mostly general purpose (fixes/improvements) updates or can contain region/carrier specific settings, thus possibly disrupting the 3G depending of local telco carriers/norms ?

What I'm worried is applying a firmware update without any possibility to flash it to a previous version.

Thanks.

Does anyone knows if the control talk on the heartbeet headphones work on the i9000?

I meen can you answer calls by the remote, set volume up or down??

If the control talk dosent work.. did anyone knows if the version without control talk works fine by playing music??

Thanks, and sorry for my english

I'm not sure. But I have heard the beats headphones are overpriced and not great quality. They are manufactured my MONSTER which is known for selling hdmi/video/audio cables for >$100 (you can get elsewhere for $5-10).

I have a problem installing Skype from Android Market. The problem is the same on my HTC Desire on 2.3.3 and on my Motorola Xoom on 3.1

When I try to install Skype, download starts OK but after 3% downloaded, it just stops, and hangs on that value. (hanging at 356Kb/9.82Mb).

Anybody knows a way to get around this problem?

Swype must have released an update that jacked up my Thunderbolt. Every time I try to type it says an update is required to continue to use Swype. I tried the installer to update and tried downloading a new installer. Nothing works. Is anyone else having issues with their t-bolt and Swype this weekend?

I had the same problem and fixed just as nelboy said, though I got those details straight from the swype beta site.

Alright, I'm unbanned so now I can post the latest iteration of how your phone should be rooted by batch script.

Note: This script is actually still being developed so if I break something in the script by adding something else it will be fixed. I don't have a shift to test on and I don't have any money. From what I know, my friend did indeed test this and it's working 100% so now lets move on to features.

FEATURES:

Wimax backup and restore - after the root process/misc.img flash

MD5 hash check for misc.img before and after.

Temproot

Hboot flash

Choices to ask what you want (Y/N questions)

asks if you already rooted with fre3vo and if so, takes you to the reroot script.

Credits?

OTAking71 and scaryghoul. (Hboot patch)

Otaking again just for beta testing my script on his spare shift.

Agrabren for releasing fre3vo

Me for writing this batch file from nothing but the instructions in the hboot downgrade thread.

Download link?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/fre3atlast_v_2.7.2.zip

Github:https://github.com/xIndirect/Fre3atlast

Note: This script is made by me and may not be modified, reposted, or shared without my permission.

Reason I don't want you to modify it is because of the fact that I don't want anyone to break the script which can break the phones! Remember: Batch is very particular about function calling!

Changelog:
Updated to 2.7.2
Corrected output for link thats echoed into a text file.
Changed how it provides download links due to wget not cooperating correctly.
Added automatic function of checking MD5
added install.bat script for post-downgrade install of z4root and visionary
added automatic downloading of misc.img if bad md5
added downloading of choice between PG06IMG.zip or the exe RUU to downgrade
added wget to allow for downloading of the aforementioned files.
added device check
maybe some other slight things I'm forgetting

Quick developers note:

Wimax Backup script doesn't quite work, but everything else seems golden.

Add a `mkdir /sdcard/WiMax;` before the DD and you'd probably be good to go.

Syanptic, you dont need one. It tells you what you do by asking you. Just be honest to the script and your rooted

sent by breaking the sound barrier
[EVO Shift 4G General] SynapticMeltdown:
sounds easy...

It sounds easy, but personally when possible I like to see what I'm about to do, yah know see the step by step to make sure I know whats going on before I dive in.

In the end, I'm just paranoid I'm gonna brick my phone. and hearing "its just that simple" isn't all that comforting for something that took a long time for people to work out.

Also does this requires froyo?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
it tells you what its about to do by confirming if you want to do it. Perhaps if you ended up using the script or even reading it, you would have learned that. Im not being a **** but people need to learn to read. Also, it is just that simple. It had to be figured out but the implication of it is much easier than having to find it as is true with everything else.

Sent by breaking the sound barrier
[EVO Shift 4G General] SynapticMeltdown:
Yeah, I got that, in fact I opened the .bat in notepad.

lets see what instructions it outputs.

-have you rooted before? y/n

-clearing cache

-if the misc.img MD5 as well as the the original MD5. (I am assuming its outputting a code sum to check if the file is good)

-there are only 2 times this will stop... run? y/n

-if you want to continue hit y, if not n

-this is happening if you want to flash Hboot misc.img to be able to downgrade. -this is from saying N to the first choice (i assume this references the have you rooted before question

-congrats, your rooted, thank people

now I may have missed something, but that's not exactly explanation. Also no where in this thread does it say if you can or can't use this in gingerbread.

Your response is why I typically avoid forums and rooting, people offer help and then chastise you and or call you stupid for asking questions. If you think its a dumb question that you don't feel you need to answer just don't respond. Its better off that way than insulting people that came to you for help.

Clearly, I am hesitant about rooting my phone. I know enough to know that if you do something wrong when trying to root a device you can brick it. You can't really blame me for wanting to understand what I'm about to do. Also, saying I would know if I ran it is pointless, the reason I asked the question is because I wanted to know what it did BEFORE I ran it.

I am a little confused at this point from all the different posts saying you need this or you need that or beware if your using this so on and so forth. Yeah, I'm not a master programmer, its not my field. I don't have all the time in the world to figure this out on my own. If HTC would just open up root I would probably use that. But that's not the case so I'm here. Have some freaking courtesy.

I agree that anyone rooting should read the downgrade information provided by scary, but tbh i wish i would have used the one click root when i first started. I have neither the time nor inclination to learn anymore about rooting than what it take to make my phone to run awesomely, and there are many root-users just like me.

im not going to run a batch on my phone unless its been tested and verified on an actual shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Indirect is just mad that he broke his hand :)

If you haven't already I'd read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255474 Scary does a good job of explaining what you're doing. You might actually find that you prefer to do the whole process manually. It's not hard, it's just a matter of following the instructions. It's very satisfying to root manually, you really feel that you've earned it.

And to answer your question, the actual perm rooting does require you to be on Froyo but the downgrade from Gingerbread to Froyo is part of this process.

lol

[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
Jesusice is right, I'm pissed that i broke my hand. He's mad thats hes married and not getting laid as much as me. :3

Anyway, this has been tested and verified on a shift, multiple actually. I think that if you cant use this script, it's user-error as it does a decent job in explaining. It asks if you rooted before, if no, it roots, flashes hboot (after confirmation for flashing hboot as well) then it even backs up wimax for you.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
If i'm not mistaken this downgrades you and also roots you. Also you have to take risk if you wanna root your phone. Its a big plunge yes but out of all the comments not one person has bricked their phone and also this has been tested many times before. If you too scared to do this than you might not want to root your phone in the first place

TIA!

[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
It just temproots then flashes a new misc.img that allows you to downgrade to froyo. That's all it does.
[EVO Shift 4G General] umrico:
OK. So give me a quick hand as I am no stranger to flashing and rooting but want to make sure I do this correctly (i have had a hero and shift fully rooted and gone thru a couple hundred rom changes).

So I am going to run this script and gain temp root, and then what? Install Rom manager, then cwm recovery thru it? then download a 2.2 (or can i download a GB) rom and reboot into CWM and flash it, or what is the procedure in short after i run this script to get to a 2.3 rom (preferably my backup that i have of supreme v6 as it is great).

Thanks!!!!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
This is going to temp root your phone then push the exploit to your hboot. After that you'll have to run the ruu to downgrade your hboot. Once you have ruu'ed you can root using the froyo method. Then you'll be able to flash recovery and whatever ROM you like.
[EVO Shift 4G General] deerkiller11:
The script worked great for me (twice), after downgrading I was unable to root with visionary, z4root or even CM's method on their wiki. So I redownloaded the gingerbread OTA upgraded then tried it all over again. Any thoughts what could be wrong with my phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] umrico:
can you expand on the ruu a bit more? I have used RUU's to return phones to sprint but I typically do it from recovery if I am correct.

Are you saying that I need to

1)run script

2)push an ruu thru adb?

3)root 2.2

4)load any rom i wish/cwm/etc?
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
That's pretty much it man. I prefer the PG06IMG for downgrading through bootloadet but you can do it either way. After you run the script and downgrade, you're ready to root your downgraded Shift running froyo via whatever method you feel comfortable with. Once you're rooted, flash whatever rom you wish to run.

Edit: If you want more details on what exactly you're doing, check out scaryghoul's post about hboot and downgrading info. Its stickied in development.

so thanks for fixing the file so quick thats really cool but now i get to this part and nothing happens "glad to see this thing worked please leave feedback and just sits there su app is on phone but did not finish the bat file andstill running gb?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
It's delaying the commands to see if SU was ran successfully. Just wait about 5-10 seconds.

edit: I removed that ping command so it will run. Found a minor glitch. My apologies.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Snartman:
ok

still nothing su is on and working looks like its temp root? but nothing happens after cmd is still open now as i type this
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
Redownload. I know what happened.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Snartman:
same thing still

maybe my phones f**ked up lol stops at same spot and sits there looks like it just temp roots then stops has a # and curser thanks for your help and when i get paid i will donate for your time
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
The issue that your having is that it isn't calling su from the shell so I removed it.

Next it should ask you if you want the EXE or the PG06IMG zip to downgrade, it will download for a while so just let it.

^ Download that and replace the other .bat.

The script keeps telling me that my phone is not an Evo Shift and then device can't be found. I have the latest HTC Sync installed. Anyone know what's wrong?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
Check for

1) USB debugging

2) That you install/uninstall HTC Sync (You need to uninstall it)

3) That it is charge only when connected to PC
[EVO Shift 4G General] Indirect:
What version did you download?
[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
Thanks for the quick reply. USB debugging is enabled, I did still have HTC Sync installed but I've removed it now. Device is connected on charge only, still getting the same errors.

I installed the version from the OP maybe 3 hours ago, is there a new one?

Edit: So it seems I had an old version. Now I have 2.7.1 but still same errors.

[EVO Shift 4G General] tom3927:
so all this does is revert you to Froyo and download z4root, which can be used to permanently root my phone? does it need anything else installed, like HTC Sync?
[EVO Shift 4G General] houseofkrazeesstl:
So I ran the script to root it, backed up my wimax keys. How do I downgrade now so I can flash a new ROM?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
If the script pushed the misc.img (which I believe it does) then you need run the RUU. Then you can root using the Froyo method.
[EVO Shift 4G General] houseofkrazeesstl:
Sorry but im new to this on the shift, I ran the script, downloaded the RUU. Where do I go from here? Do I start the RUU to try to downgrade?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
I've never used this script but I believe after using it all you have to do is RUU. Did you download the PG06IMG.zip RUU or the exe? IF the exe, just run it from your pc. if you are using the zip, just put it on the root of your sd and boot into bootloader..
[EVO Shift 4G General] houseofkrazeesstl:
Yeah I'm done with the script part. So to flash, I tried to run the RUU exe and it wouldn't let me flash. So the zip is the PG06IMG file correct?

This is my GF's phone, I'm only used to the phones in my sig.
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
Yeah just put the zip on the root of your sd. Boot into bootloader by powering off the phone, then hold power and volume down until it boots into bootloader (also make sure fastboot is turned off menu > settings > power > uncheck fastboot). If you have the stock sd, you probably need to format it to FAT32 in order for the zip to be recognized. Make sure you back it up first though, cause it will erase everything.
