do not need to define a rule for the root(sudo) user

root can access everything :laugh:

need to define a rule for only normal(non-root) user after that user can access

but your rules are correct and you don't need to run as root

XX-android.rules differences have been described on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Udev#udev_file_rules

I prefer 51-android because it's non-persistent define devices that should be forgotten when disconnected

File Numbers

The name you give a UDEV file should follow this convention(HIGHNUMBER=Override):

<priority ranking arbitrary number>-<your friendly name>.rules

Numbers less than 60 are non-persistent (define devices that should be forgotten when disconnected)

Numbers 60 - 69 are persistent but do not need helper binaries

Numbers 70 - 89 are persistent and can run binaries

Numbers 90+ exist to override rules below (run last)

you cant unlock bootloader with flash tool , you can only unlock it official or by test point .

when i checked in service info for unlock bl it say Bootloader unlock allowed :no

please help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
You must pay to get it simfree. You can buy sim unlock code from your carrier (maybe this helps) or you can take an other way.

First if your phone is simlock free, then you can unlock your bootloader.

When your phone build date is later then 12w14, then you can't take the other way.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
No it will not relock your phone. It fota system when updating OTA. including or excluding it will not change anything to your phone. I just tried to create groups from sin files to easily identify them. Its no use for now (I mean for fota group) but maybe in the future it will ... who knows. Actually when creating baseband bundles in the past, more than baseband was included in the bundle. I just tried to be more specific with ftf content.

I am very new to this all andriod stuff. Trying to root my xperia ray. The first thing I told I need the flash tool. But its a pain to download from uploaded.to (rapidgator is not opening for me at this moment). Its a bit annoying when you are excited to do new things to your device and stunned to get the very first tool.

I don't mean any offense. Can't we get any alternate link to get this beautiful tool. Uploaded.to free just give one try in one hour and it already failed for me twice. can't buy a pro account just to download one tool. The cost is much in my currency. :rolleyes:

I don't understand the the reason behind it. If it is to earn some money to support the developer , I suggest to integrate some ad into the tool like google adsense. :)

When it asks to restart in fastboot mode, just do it. Fastboot mode is not flash mode. On phones I had, plug cable + vol- = flashmode, plug cable + vol+ = fastboot mode. On other phones it is plug + menu key or plug + back key. Search on the forum to know how to start your phone in fastboot mode.

What about the queries regarding

bootloader unlock strategy and

going back to unlocked bootloader

calling the bootloader "rootable"

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Now I did it finally - unlocking my bootloader with the official method, however short-cutting with the Flashtool. Technically this should not be a big deal as the rest of the system would not need to be touched - in my simple understanding (and history from Windows Mobile).

Sadly (SIGH...) the unlocking of the Bootloader with THIS method will also reset the device to its initial "factory" state (blank out the \data partition - I guess). I wish there was a hint or a warning that this was going to happen in the process of Flashtool doing that job.

I could have done a fresh nandroid backup to restore with CWM, but now I fell back to 1 week old (and I did a lot in this week).

PLEASE: Add a warning hint for the sake of future users.

Flashtool query

I have used Flashtool many times with my Xperia Ray which is sim-free and bootloader locked.

I have successfully flashed firmware which I have created from SEUS and flashed downloaded stock firmware, but

something I'm unsure about is this;

I have a friend who wants me to create ftf firmware from the files which were downloaded to his computer when he

updated via SEUS. Easy enough with my phone, but his Xperia Arc is network locked with "Bootloader unlock allowed: No".

Can I still safely delete the "simlock.ta" file which I normally do with my own phone when I 'Create Bundle' in Flashtool?

There is also a "vendor.sin" file in his sin file list which my phone's firmware does not have. Do I need the vendor.sin file?

If it was my own phone I'd be happy enough to experiment, but I don't want to take chances with my friend's phone!

Thanks for any advice.

Retry disabling driver signature and reinstall fastboot drivers. Ensure when you plug your phone in fastboot mode, it is recognized in the device manager. Then reboot normally.

Hi !

I've got a problem with v0.9.10.1 (fresh install) on Win XP32 and XP64.

If i try to make a baseband flash, i've got this error :

With older version, no problem.

And an other question.

CM10 is installed on my phone, why flashtool says ? :

Current device : ST18i - BX902V6EWQ - 1252-5902_R1I - 1248-9545_4.1.B.0.587 - WORLD-i_4.1.B.0.587
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Androxyde:
It looks like you have a rebuilt device (rebuilt or repaired with setool or other ??)

So FT tries to use a modded loader which is not present in the devices\ST18 folder.

I suppose that modded loader is the same for all 2011 devices who share the same loader. You can try to copy the R800 unlocker_loader.sin into the ST18 folder. If it does not work and as you told me it was working fine with other version of FT, then simply copy ST18\loader.sin to ST18\unlocked_loader.sin :)

Let me know
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BreckZeBoulay:
I have made a reparation with SEUS to see if the new ICS FW was officially available, but after i do a full format to restore CM10.

Les voix du seigneur sont impénétrables.... :D

Works fine

I replace the directory devices\ST18 of v0.9.10.1 by the same directory of v0.9.9.0

I run v0.9.10.1, same issue.

unlocked_loader.sin doesn't exist in devices\ST18 of v0.9.9.0

So i flashed with v0.9.9.0 for testing and it works.

I have remarked something, the phone is not recognized in the same way betwwen v0.9.9.0 and v0.9.10.1

I don't have this line "Current device : ST18i - BX902V6EWQ - 1252-5902_R1I - 1248-9545_4.1.B.0.587 - WORLD-i_4.1.B.0.587" in the log of v0.9.9.0

Okay, answering my own question here.

After downloading and debugging the code I found the problem.

Apperently the Native.loadLibrary-function needs a executable temp-directory. And as my /tmp is mounted as noexec there is a no-go.

The code does however not show me the acual message from the function but a custom debug text. There was no problem with my libusb.

To work around this I created a tmp-directory in a executable environment and pointed -Djava.io.tmpdir= to it in the script.

Hope this can help someone else.

Amazon seems to have ripped out the vpn services config screen from their skinned settings menu. I can't even call it from the command line (or I'm just a nit).

I've tried swapping for another gingerbread settings app but this stuff is a little beyond me.

If Amazon is consistent in the way I think they are when developing the fire I'm sure the VPN capability is still there -- just no way to configure or start it.

Ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
The vpn service is there and looks like it'll run if configured.

However it looks like the UI for the configuration isnt hidden somewhere that one can jump to, so that will need to be ported (unless you know how to configure it manually over adb)

If you're going to pay for VPN service, think about using unblock-us. It works with some sort of "DNS cloacking" and DNS settings can be modified both on Fire or on your home router.

Been playing with VPN all day.

First tried activating VPN on my iPhone then accessing the Hotspot one PPTP then LPTP. Didn't work.

Rooted, still can't get Market Place running (hangs on download) but got OpenVPN working off direct download but there's no tun.ko for it to work.
[Kindle Fire General] ajq:
Tried posting this in the dev group under the vpn question, though as I just registered I can't do that.

I have been playing with this for a few days, as right after I got my fire I flew to Slovakia to visit with the in-laws. I have a fair bit of time on my hands as they don't speak English and I don't speak Slovak. I'd love to get this working, as netflix or hulu or prime would be an awesome way to spend my time here right now, heh.

I can compile the tun.ko module from the source Amazon posted, however this is my first time doing any kind of ARM development, and I cant for the life of me get the damned thing to compile as armv7, just as armv5, regardless of the cross compiler I use... if I go and edit the binary to say v7, insmod fails anyway.

Any hints?
[Kindle Fire General] Rubarb:
All I need in my life is tun.ko for Fire - I would help - I have no dev experience and only 24 hours of android experience but I'll start having a look in 8 hours or so when I wake up - I'll be starting from scratch but any hints/sources you can point me towards would be awesome.

Only thing I know on this subject apropos tun.ko is that you have to update the kernel afterwards on many systems is that make sense? Remembering five hours ago reading and have literally been hit over the head with something since. I mean literally.
[Kindle Fire General] Grmpf66:
I already have a VPN included from my usenet provider, so it would be no additional fee for me, thats why i would prefer a L2TP/IPsec vpn working on the fire. A shame that amazon just removed the access to the settings - android would have worked perfectly.
[Kindle Fire General] ajq:
Providers aren't a problem for me, as I do my own thing, just want to be able to access the content which I already pay for whilst.I am traveling.

I think I have given up trying to get tun.ko compiled for armv7 though, as I have now spent countless hours on it and must be missing something.very simple.

I need to read up a bit more on the architecture, I think.

Also, why in the hell.did.they.offset.the.spacebar on this thing?
