I also rooted using this threads method with the latest patch and it worked just fine. I do have a question though:

Sorry for this noob(to adb) question but is the full command to pull system: "adb pull /system C:\somewhere_on_your_pc"? When I ran that it seemed to tell me that there were special files that it could not get (and it was all of them).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
nev: I'm still "noobing" myself on these android phones; but have been doing similar on desktops for a while......... ;)

I had d/l'd adb.zip a while back from here and extracted to C:\adb. From the DOS command for adb it was:

cd C:\adb --enter

Then from adb prompt:

adb pull /system C:\adb --enter

This was done right after I rooted; and it extracted 1562 Files, 75 Foldes from the Razr.

HTH's

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
hi guys, trying to root my phone but have problems finding the adb drivers.....

i downloaded both driver at the lint in OP but there are just .inf files, and i cant install it, via rightclick->install

also if i connect the phone and try to select this inf files, windows says, no driver found...can you help me on this please? can somebody post the driver here or mail it to me?

also if i click at the linked motorola page at motohelper, it says: file not found (on the motorola website)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topgun966:
Just use the default drivers from google. In the SDK check the box for default drivers and that will put them in the drivers folder. Then just point windows to the ADB driver and your set. Make sure you do a "adb kill-server" just to make sure nothing is stuck in the cmd prompt.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
i was googling a little bit and was able to find the moto drivers...worked like a charm... :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] playya:
^^^^^+1 on this as well did not work , same version and same issue as root did not take... sorry if an answer is in the thread, I got lazy and did not read it all... my bad
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
Then read the thread or search.

You didn't enable usb debugging. And try updating the drivers on your pc. Then disconnect and reconnect. Should work

Edit: found your problem. You have to run cmd in the same window you have your Files stored in (the download payload).

Open command prompt, type cd c:\ and then cd until you are in the Location of your files. Mine is cd c:\zergrush then run the bat. But check ADB if you're connection is there

Hi, this root method was previously working on my asia retail razr.

However, after a OTA update, this root access method is no longer viable.

The new bulid number is 6.5.1_73-SPD-IRD-21.

Would there be any other way I can get root back, other then to roll back the update?

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Thats exactly what i got on mine after the OTA update.Except my version number is 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03

The phone just rebooted and nothing's changed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tien8tien:
Same problem seen here. Another observation is that earlier rooted phone cannot be unrooted anymore. Tried using the DoomLord unroot v1 and the latest Ginger Unroot... SuperUser app is still there and denying all other Apps trying to gain SuperUser status... (except for applications which were allowed earlier before the upgrade).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eagledig:
Hi,

thanks a lot ! it work correctly.

This soluton unlock the phone ? (unsimlock)

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
Other than the obvious ways is there some sort of hidden non-erasable call timer or counter on this device? If you call T-Mobile and give them the ESN will they tell you when (if) it was first activated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Tmobile works with imei. Although i dont think they track that as well as sprint does. When you out a sim card in a new phone and it registers to the network it allows you to get a warranty for that phone meaning its new. If it has been used or another sim has been used to activate prior, their system will show no warranty. You take a gamble buying from non retail sources.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
Thank you, but that doesn't answer my question. I want to find out if it is new, not if it has a warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Enzopreme:
were there 2 little blue stickers covering the sd card slot and the sim card slot? and to answer your question, besides those 2 blue stickers, yes, you can call tmobile and ask them, though they may or may not know for sure how to find out. it depends on the experience of the rep you get.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
I don't know if it has or had stickers, I don't have one yet. Other than the obvious ways (blue stickers etc) are you saying there is no "hidden" lifetime call timer menu that requires a dialer code like so many "dumbphones" used to have that can't be reset to 0?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it could be misleading ;)

i still have the 2 stickers in there, expecting to keep it as pristine condition as possible for when i re-sell it :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
Haha me too. I never peel those type of things off.

____________________

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I also have the sticker still on mine. The only way you can tell is by calling T-Mobile and asking them to send you a warranty replacement because you have software issues (I know you don't have any software issues). If T-Mobile sends a new unit then the phone has never been used!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
It depends on where you buy it from. An actual T-Mobile store cannot sell a returned phone as new. They must send it back to the manufacturer. It's a strict policy they have, and can be fined if not followed. If you buy online then it's a gamble, but the best way to tell is if the box is still sealed with the stickers on the sides. That is even iffy with the GSII. I saw all the new boxes in the T-Mobile store I got mine from, and all of them only had one sticker on one side, so if you were careful you could open it without removing the sticker, and then put it back, and no one would know. Other boxes usually have a sticker on each side of the box, so you can easily tell if it was opened. If you get a replacement from Samsung themselves then you could get a refurb, but if it's because of a defect you can demand (nicely) a "new" phone under the BBB act.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heinrich:
Sort of a silly question if you ask me. You want to know how to discern if a phone which hasn't been available for but a few weeks, is used or new. And you haven't yet bought one.

If it comes with an unused magenta gba sim card not yet punched out of its credit card sized card, it is likely new.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
what is the reason you want to know? are you buying it off of someone on craigslist or something? if its been used, im sure you will be able to tell in some way shape or form..i doubt the guy covered all the bases
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
Had you read the actual question carefully you would have seen it said "OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS." Besides, the SIM would prove nothing. I never use the "enclosed" SIM in a device and when I resell it the original unpunched SIM goes with it.

Reason the question was asked is I am going to buy a supposedly new & unused phone from a seller and before handing over the cash I wanted to confirm it was indeed new and unused as it was described. I don't care if the box was opened and if there is a SIM in the box or not, the issue was I wanted to be able to punch in (whatever dialer code) and confirm there were zero minutes used on the phone. Many "dumbphone" devices have a "lifetime timer" that cannot be reset without major programming or at all.

Once again, my question was and still is: Other than the OBVIOUS ways (which would be obvious :)), is there any way to tell if a T-989 device has been used or not? USED obviously refers to making calls or using data. I'm not questioning warranty which isn't an issue, only to confirm if it has not been USED for making calls or surfing the web.

Don't need any warranty lectures or where NOT to buy from lectures just the answer to the question. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
if the phone is literally brand new and unused the battery would be in a sealed bag...i bought my phone off of someone from craigslist...he said it was brand new..when i checked it, everything was in its original seal and the phone had the manufacturer screen protector on it (with text outlining the buttons)..so i believed him

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

also, when you are buying something from someone on craigslist/ebay there are ways you can get a feel if the guy is legit..ask him for proof of purchase (perhaps a receipt or something)...you can most likely tell if someone is lying to you or if they are shady...i was originally going to buy it from someone else, he responded immediately to all my calls and texts.. when i asked him to show me a receipt he flaked..thus confirming he probably stole it or something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
haha this guy is probably trying to sell off his used Galaxy S2 as a new phone and wants to make sure the buyer has no way of finding out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
that actually sounds more likely than what he is proposing, he seems to be very fixated on making sure it is 100% fool proof...if its new, its new (you can tell)...just ask the guy if its literally brand new and unused or if its been used for a few days...if it has all the seals, its new...if not, then just ask him how long hes had it and his reason for selling...theres really no point of him lying to you...i am an avid seller on both CL/ebay..i wouldnt lie to someone for something so meaningless...i am as honest as i can be because i dont want phone calls at 2am saying he wants a refund cause i lied
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
Android for whatever reason in this regard sucks. Windows Mobile had call-tracking, etc, which you could only reset through extreme lengths or if you had the know-how (something which is not allowed to be discussed here, thank God).

For whatever reason, Android, or even webOS does not seem to carry this feature.

It's unfortunate but it's the risk you take buying it from a non-retail/corporate store.

A lot on people on the XDA Marketplace do not understand the term "BRAND NEW". Most of these jokers will have descriptions like "BRAND NEW OMGWTFBBQ OPENED JUST TO SEE IF EVERYTHING IS WORKING, BOOTED TO MAKE SURE RADIO WORKS ETC".

How the hell is that brand new? They could have "opened" it once for 36 hours and it would still count as a technical one-time boot.

This is why if you can avoid it, buy it locally on Craigslist and not on the XDA marketplace (know that XDA provides very little support if you're f**ked in the marketplace; one other reason to only buy from there if it's your last option). Do what others have said, typically, in many instances, if the guy is lying to you, your gut will probably give you a "fishy" feeling. Trust your gut in that case and back out of it. If it is too good to be true, IT MOST LIKELY IS.

Besides the obvious, there is NO WAY TO TELL CONCRETELY that the phone has not been used. The only thing I can think of is to bring a jeweler's magnifying glass with you and look between the bezel and the frame. It's very hard to clean dust out of those areas and the moment you've removed the factory screen protector, stuff is going to get in there very quickly. This is the only way I know how to tell if a phone is used despite having a PERFECT looking factory seal on there. Even a can of air can't properly clean those little nooks and crannies. Also, use the jeweler's magnifying glass to look inside the earpiece for lint, etc. New phones should not have this.

That's the answer, with android, there's simply no way to tell.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
I'm sorry but you asked if you could dial a code to see if there was a counter or minutes used? I don't think that's possible since you all the data is stored/transferred via the Sim card. If someone gives you a phone that has been used, but completely factory reset it. You could not dial anything to get that kind of data because it goes away with that persons Sim card Your question is hard to answer if you are asking in those terms. That is why I mentioned sprint or non gsm phones that do allow that kind of tracking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the call minutes, as far as i know is like the CAR's odometer, and it stays in the phone, and not the SIM

but it can be wiped with a new ROM

that's why we have the ROM flash counter, to see how many times you have flashed your ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbernusg:
Actually the warranty has everything to do with if it was used or not.. if you're phone shows up in the system without warranty then it means it was USED. if it has warranty when you first use it its NEW and NEVER USED

If there is no warranty it means it was registered with someones sim card as used for CALLS or DATA.

No matter where you purchase a phone if it is NEW you will have a valid warranty in tmobiles system

got it, only that it was new. I called T-Mobile and they told me they would NOT give me any info even if I provide the IMEI.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguejam:
Try flashing a kernel via ODIN. Are you on Gingerbread (EI22)? If so, download the kernel-GB-3.tar.md5 from this thread. Per the OP instructions there, put in in the PDA slot, have "reboot" be the only checked item, and give it a go.

eh17 but wont charge or load up, goes to recovery if plugged in computer thats all it will do!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguejam:
When I tried to flash CWM yesterday via ODIN on my laptop, my laptop blue screened (USB issues) right when I hit start. When I tried to turn on my phone, I got the same exact icons that you did (phone ! pc). I fixed it by reflashing the kernel via ODIN.

EI22 kernel should work just fine for EH17. You can also try and use nubecoder's kernel, which would be useful if you had a EXT4 ROM. Try to use ODIN to flash a kernel in your phone's download mode.

If this doesn't do anything, perhaps you need to ODIN a whole new ROM over. I'm on EI22 and loving it. I was using Toad's EI17 (here) before that.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pileot:
I purchased an I500 from ebay not realizing it does not take a sim card. Oops, my bad. Due to circumstances i can't get it returned so im stuck with it.

I was considering using it as an MP3 player (cheaper than an ipod with very similar function) however each time i start it up it says "Press Send to activate your phone."

Well this wont work, im in Canada, it tries to dial out and i get a no service message.

I know i can bypass the activation by pressing *#83786633 but i want to prevent it from asking me to activate alltogether. Anyone ever experience this? Do you have any suggestions?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ficklecycler:
I'm interested to know this as well as I purchased an I500 to do the same thing. Mine hasn't shown up yet but I'll be going through a similar situation. My understanding (and this could be incorrect) is that yes you will be able to use it as an iPod Touch, but it may keep asking you to activate. It'd be sweet if it is possible bypass this because the I500 could be a really fantastic PMP.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freshveggies:
Just a guess since I can't test it:

Try putting the phone in airplane mode. This will turn off the radio and maybe that will stop the phone from asking you to activate. You can leave it in airplane mode indefinitely since you won't be using it as a phone. Again, I'm only guessing.

Wifi can still work, just turn it back on after you enable airplane mode.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pileot:
As soon as you turn off airplane mode, or if anything needs GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc. the phone can trigger the setup process.

Good idea tho, thanks for your input!
