[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
So I have tried searching some and my case might be a little different so I thought I would just ask.

I have a G2 that i am trying to retrieve data from. Specifically the SMS database file. I have found that in android, the sms messages are not kept on the sim car or the SD, its kept in a .db file in the internal memory. Unfortunately these files are restricted without root/su access.

From what I have read, the only way to root right now is to downgrade the OS to a previous version to obtain root. Unfortunately, doing that would erase the .db file and would be counter productive.

I have tried using ADB to obtain root/su access to extract a copy of the DB to no avail. I tried visionary and z4 to temp root and neither seemed to allow me to su in the terminal.

Again, all I need is SU access for a short ammt of time to copy out a file in a section that is restricted. Does anyone know any way to do this? Though backups? copying the whole file system to my cpu hdd? Temp root program that does work?

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Go to this guide

Follow the 'Gaining Temp-Root' and '

Temp-Rooting to Backup' sections.

Why do you need su to copy a file from /system?

I read that the gap between the bezel and the glass is to help with the glass expanding due to heat, but it seems to collect dust a lot and its driving me nuts. Anyone know of a way to prevent this or a slim case that covers the gap so dust does not get in there?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i don't see a problem with my phone, mostly because the case is hiding it all :D LOL

and even when i do take out the case, i don't see dirt collecting there

i just go blow it off easily with a gasp of air with my mouth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
Mine too!!! Have 2 white specs in top left side and don't wanna stick something in there and scratch it... Annoying thing is that my d30 case covers everything up but that little damn corner where the power button is... Ugh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I just noticed this dust accumulating in there today. Hrm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
just puff it every now and then to prevent excess accumulation and prevent it from turning into dirt ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dime079:
this is between the bezel and glass .. so not under the glass right? this is a huge problem with my nexus one and don't want another phone where i have to deal with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
I use the body glove case from tmobile when I'm at work. My work enviroment is extremely dirty and very dusty. I mean to the point where you clean the area and by the end of the day there is a pretty thick layer of flux (lets just say dust) everywhere.

When I take my case off on the weekend my bezel is clean
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
The SAMOLED screens are fused to the class so there is no gap for dust to collect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
To get rid of the dust I use a stiff lens cloth damp with lens fluid and use a corner to clean. Works perfectly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian_v3ntura:
dust between the bezel/screen common problem with any phone that has gap between the bezel and screen. like one person said, the digitizer is fused with the actual screen on Super Amoled screens. so dust shouldn't get underneath. However, screen repair cost more due to the fact the whole screen+digitizer has to be replaced instead of one or the other.

to get the dust out,I usually just take a very thin paper,fold it in half,and slide it. I've been doing the same method on my past phones.

I want add lockscreens to my ROM. It's a simple ROM, deodexed, zipaligned, rooted.... and was made with dsixda's kitchen and the Perka's ultimate cooking guide.

I wish add the lockscreen like: MIUI or other ROMS: DoctorZ, MitRa, Darky, etc...

Anyone help me???

[HTC Inspire 4G] cookw24:
Hey there everyone

There's a new recovery out for the Inspire that isn't CWM and I think you might want to give it a try. If you used to be a Droid user, you might remember this:

check it out here

It's tons faster than what clockwork mod recovery is (but can still flash your cwm backups!) and you can use your capacitive buttons at the bottom of your phone to navigate!

Plus changing the colors is a snap - built in utility for it! Only thing that doesn't work consistently is touch screen scrolling.

Go ahead and give it a try (if you're brave enough, I am not, nor is RZR liable for any damages, but you all already knew that =p). Definitely worth the shot.

edit: fixed broken link
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Your link's broke

[HTC Inspire 4G] cookw24:
Thanks, fixed in edit
[HTC Inspire 4G] buzzboy:
Thanks, working well thus far.

Cheers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
+1 Very fast and responsive. Matches my theme perfectly!! Very cool using the capacitative buttons to navigate
[HTC Inspire 4G] heydabop:
You can use the soft keys to navigate cwm...
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
For some reason on cwm I can only use back softkey, and only that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
I can't use any on cwm
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
If you didn't make it then you should not be posting it. Sense this is a link to another thread this is not development and ill move it to general
[HTC Inspire 4G] cookw24:
Not a problem, thanks mod.

Also, I can't every use anything in cwm but my volume rocker and power button. I love being able to use the capacitive ones. Much easier for me
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Maryushi3:
So...

I flashed the WKS9 (XEO csc) yesterday and flashed the CF-root on top of it. First I had problems with obtaining an IP adress. IP fixed from android side worked fine but when I press "forget" on the AP and reentered the wifi password it worked without manual IP settings. Then I noticed that Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting and immediately connecting. Of course, before flashing the CF-root I read the instructions and the changelog - it said that the kernel shouldn't break the wifi. But I thought that in my case it broke.

So I reflsahed the WKS9 (one package and without wiping). CWM and Tweaks disappeared but Superuser has been left untouched and I couldn't uninstall it like it was on /system; Link2SD shown that it is on /data (su was removed). After a short messing around with Android Commander and adb Superuser disappeared too (all by itself).

BUT wifi still breaks connection.

One more interesting thing: /data partition shows completely empty!

Edit: It looks like it's losing the IP because if I set IP to manual the phone stays connected. I'm sure that it is not a problem with router because all other devices connected have their IP all the time. Also on router config page it says nothing in "device name" next to ace's mac address.

To fix the wifi

-should I wipe /data or...

-just flash other modem (KB7 for example which has worked with CM7 perfectly)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexnm:
The same thing happened to me. It's not the root, it's the rom itself. The only fix I found was changing the rom.

Still waiting for a rom with a Wifi that doesn't suck ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
Have you tried flashing the services.jar within the CF-Root thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] _-Jay-_:
I am currently running hboot1.5 and HTC unlocked with Root running TWRP recovery. I know there are limitations to what Roms I can flash with S-On rooting. How can I tell which Roms will work? I have been running stock 2.3.4 since I bought the phone used about 3 weeks ago. It seems to run okay, but my Quadrant scores are consistently less than 2k (usually ~1900-1950) when my wife's bone stock MoPho benchmarks at ~2300-2500. I'm pissed that the guy I bought it from took the OTA for hboot1.5 which severely limits me at the moment, but I just want to get the most out of my phone. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good custom roms that will work with my configuration? I don't need to run 3500's but it would be nice to be over 2k. (Even my rooted epic with SRF1.1.1 scored 2300's all day long)
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
Im running viperROM & LOVE IT! Tried a few others & while some are faster, viperMOD is stable as stable can get. As far as limitations with custom kerenels, you can flash them as long as you access recovery from fastboot.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery.img

Then flash away!!! :D

If you want something nasty fast, try Synergy nightly. Be warned, not so stable at times depending how you set it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
You can flash any ROM you want and any kernel you want.

The only limitations are the steps/procedures you have to following when flashing the files due to HTC's unlock method. The key limitation is HTC does not unlock write access for the kernel while in traditional recovery.

Taken from a lil guide I've put together after answering this question over and over on the Q&A board.

The ways around HTC's limitations are as follows:

HTC Unlock - Hboot version 1.50

Methods to Properly Flash a Kernel with HTC Unlock

1) Using Flash Image GUI (FIG):

For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put/download the kernel .zip file onto your sdcard, select the file from inside the application. FIG will verify the .zip file and its contents. Once it passes verification, select Flash.

For ROM Flashing: Pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img) out of the ROM .zip and push to sdcard. Flash using Flash Image GUI.

If you're away from a computer and want to flash any kernel, this is a great tool!

2) Using Custom Recovery:

Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.

This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.

In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.

3) Using fastboot:

Boot into the custom recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, vol down + power -> bootloader -> recovery, etc, and flash the ROM. Due to the HTC lock on the boot partition (where kernel is stored), the custom recovery will report everything was successful, but the kernel will NOT have been loaded.

Reboot into fastboot mode and then flash the kernel (extracted from the ROM .zip file) using the computer and this command: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.

Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included in the ROM .zip instead of the boot.img for the kernel. The zImage will not work properly using the fastboot method.

Post back any questions or concerns you might have. Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] _-Jay-_:
Ok, I will try it out and see if I can do it correctly. Thanks you guys.

[Vibrant Android Development] 2strokenut:
Hey ya'll got a question. I'm trying to put CM7 on my buddies vibrant (2.2 stock) but running into an issue. We got it rooted but when it goes into 3e recovery it keeps giving me the error that it can't reinstall packages even when I put in on the internal memory renamed to Update.zip.

Is there any way to flash CWM through Odin? Or do I need to go back to stock (2.1) and try it that way. From searching it seems like people aren't really having this problem. I can't be the only one.

Any help appreciated

thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] user900:
have you tried more than just one cwm?

i have several - yellow, green(froyo), blue, purple.

just search for them on the forums they are here.

i think you need green one.

hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] 1vanFG:
you need to flash it through clockword recovery (install rom manager and then you can install it through there) and not through stock recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2strokenut:
Dang there's colors? lol didn't know that. I will search and see whats up.

Sorry, I should have elaborated a little more. I installed RM and flashed it through there but it would never come up. It just kept giving me the error.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] 2strokenut:
Just did some searching and not finding "green" clockworkmod files.
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
I used this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028 to root it.

Option A was the one I used. Option B has the CWR in it but you'll need to have a ROM ready to flash.

IIRC the one (RM) I downloaded from the market was green.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2strokenut:
Not really seeing option A or B. IS this option A:

1 – Return to stock JFD (2.1). This is what the Vibrant shipped with. You do this using ODIN.

This is a program for your PC that allows you to flash the stock firmware. Those on a Mac (it's cross-platform too) need Heimdall which I do not use/support.

Wait I see it now. Which one do you recommend I do?
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Couldn't resist quoting myself on this one. Sorry and not to be a smartass but...

That is to root it but Option B has CWR in it and then most ROMS will have 3e recovery included. Leaving for the day but I suggest looking in the Q&A section before you get flamed for this over here in the Dev section.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
^ yes, thank you.

Not everyone gets my two options... I tried to make it easy. B is MUCH easier and faster in my opinion.
[Vibrant Android Development] 2strokenut:
Sorry about that guys I swore I posted this is the Q&A. Thanks for the help as soon as my buddy brings the phone back over we'll try this.

thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] 2strokenut:
Worked like a charm! Thanks guys!

Does using a custom ROM affect the quality of the camera?

Yeah, I know 116.88MB is too much for a sample, but that was the only video I had that I knew for sure that had been recorded already in Wolf's ROM. Sorry for that.

Hi,

Just tried to update my htc ime (keyboard) so that i could get a vlingo mic icon, however I seem to have caused a problem because I have 'replaced' the touch input and it force closes every time i try and use the keyboard.

Luckily i have Gingerkeyboard so I can still type but I'd appreciate if someone could explain how I would go about reinstalling the stock touch input/ime and possibly upload the apk?

All the ones I've tried so far haven't worked; the clicker always fails to install and the IME just says uninstall and launch when i open with app manager. Also I've only found modded IME apks which also seem to force close...I would really appreciate if someone could help!

For like the past month my 3g has been disappearing at random moments and then reappearing. Mostly when I'm on the web or using an app that requires internet. It's very annoying and frustrating. The problem began when I installed the gingerbread leak EH06 and even was present with EH17.. But now even going back to previous stock froyo EC05 the problem is still there. Anyways my question is can it be that the leak gingerbread screwed my phone up or maybe its sprints network that's been acting up?
