EFF made a compelling case for jailbreaking smartphones, electronic tablets and gaming consoles.

Here is a part from the article:

"The DMCA is supposed to block copyright infringement. But instead it can be misused to threaten creators, innovators, and consumers, discouraging them from making full and fair use of their own property," said EFF Intellectual Property Director Corynne McSherry. "Hobbyists and tinkerers who want to modify their phones or video game consoles to run software programs of their choice deserve protection under the law. So do artists and critics who use short excerpts of video content to create new works of commentary and criticism. Copyright law shouldn't be stifling such uses – it should be encouraging them."

Hi,

I have searched all over this forum but i am unable to get the solution. hence created a new thread.

my samsung galaxy gt i9003 is unable to detect wifi hotspot created on my laptop. other nokia mobiles are able to detect and connect. i am having gingerbread xxkpn version. what i need to do so that i can have access to intenet on my laptop on my mobile. please help. if there is any good thread on this please divert me there.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
ur method wont work since google or might be only samsung, has disabled adhoc connectivity on android.

but softwares like mhotspot and connectify allows you to use ur laptops net on ur phone.

if ur going for connectify then it might give you BSOD, in that case u shld use older versions of connectify.

i prefer mhotspot
[HTC Sensation] Hardcore69er:
I have no idea why I would do this but people have told me multiple times to do it that it is essential for a rooted phone.

So far I know I can use different services?

I use Tmobile US so that means I can use Verizon?

Does that work for data too? I don't get data service very well in school but I know Verizon does.

So will that help me out?
[HTC Sensation] big_smurf:
I'm not being rude but what are you on about? Your post isn't very clear as to what information you require. Most of your post seems to be statements with question marks.
[HTC Sensation] thunkrd:
the hardware in the sensation is not compatible with verizon.. so no.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

you will be able to use it with different GSM providers though, and oversees etc. its not a bad thing at all to do.
[HTC Sensation] Hardcore69er:
Your right. I apologize, I wasnt paying much attention to my post because I'm trying to keep up with class.

Basically my question is, what would unlocking my phone offer me?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
I assume you are referring to S-OFF and root as opposed to unlocking it so you can put different carrier SIMs in it (assuming compatibile network frequencies).

Flexibility to try different ROMs. (e.g. get rid or bloatware).

Opportunity to back up the phone (Nandroid).

Opportunity to back up the Applications and associated data (Titanium).

Make sure you don't have Carrier IQ on you phone.

....

....
[HTC Sensation] Hardcore69er:
not exactly haha

but you did answer me with one line of your post.

I have a perm root on my phone.

running miui.us

"quadband" is what I'm used to hearing it called

that just means I can use any sim card?

[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
I download the safestrap on the hashcode's site:

Droid 3 :: v1.06 [ 2011-11-20 ]

md5sum: 72ac240d099ff2ab2a755ce8ff95060b

I had never used recovery neither enable safe system before.

so I installed the "Droid3Safestrap-1.0.apk" >> installed recovery >> boot the phone >> entered in recovery menu >> enable safe system >> install zip from SD card >> selected the INIT.D HACK file >> it was installed >> i puted to boot the phone and it freezed.

I turned of battery and turn it on, it pasted the recovery menu and then it didn't boot.

I turned of battery again and entered in recovery menu >> disable safe system and the it booted.

was the INIT.D HACK installed correctly?

I read this:

"Use Bootstrap. Its probably not booting because you need to install a ROM after you enable safe system for the first time." from ChaoticWeaponry

I don't know what to do now.

thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
you need to either toggle safe system off, or flash a ROM to use for safe system, and then flash the init.d hack

and my suggestion is to flash CM7 or Monster, Mav, SD3, Liberty, Etc. Im on CM7, works very nice http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
thanks MrJudylicious,

but sorry don't know how to do it...

this is my first android phone i just follow the steps that Chaoticweaponry told on the other topic:

"1: Root your Droid 3 using the 1 click root method (search around XDA/Google)

2: Download Safestrap from Hashcode's website. - USE BOOTSTRAP IF YOU'RE ON STOCK/NON-SAFESTRAP ROMS

3: Install the .apk file using AppInstaller from the Android Market.

4: Start Safestrap (or similar) and allow superuser permissions - then install recovery.

5: Get Download All Files from Android Market.

6: Download the init.d hack.

7: Turn your phone off.

8: Press m + power, scroll down to BP Tools (volume down key) and select it (volume up key)

9: Scroll down to install zip from SD card (select using power button)

10: Go to internal sd card - downloads folder.

11: Find the init.d file, and install it.

12: Reboot the device (go to main menu on safestrap (or similar) recovery)

13: Done."

I don't know what is flash a ROM...

so the init.d hack is not working?

as I said, I put system safe on and installed complete.. then it won't boot I don't know why..

so I put system safe off and it booted.

can you tell me what to do step by step please?

i'm thankful

Pedro

ps: I got one app called "droid3bootstrap" but idk if it will serve.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
if you can, tell me what I need to download and what I should do...

sorry for the inconvenience

thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
I, personally, would leave safestrap on and download http://goo.gl/xkZ0S which is CM7 11-16build. Put that on the sd card and boot into recovery, toggle safe system, format /system under mounts, install .zip for CM7, clear data/cache, and boot into cm7, then once youre done i would go back into recovery and flash the files for the init.d
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
Thanks a lot MrJudylicious,

but what is this 'CM7 11-16 build'? what will it do on the phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
I just wanted to install INIT.D HACK because I read that saves battery.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
cm7 is a stripped down very functional, very fast operating system. if you want stock, you can visit his hash-of-codes.blogspot.com and under android downloads you can download the stock 5.6.890 /root + superuser ( http://goo.gl/3bTpJ ). you cannot flash to teh main system with safestrap, but you can with bootstrap. you could have issues installing more than one *strap, which is why i suggested you keep safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
it's so confused...

my system version is already 5.6.890...

android version 2.3.4

CM7 is a ROM.

this stock 5.6.890 is another ROM? the INIT.D HACK is a ROM too?

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
INIT.D is a edit of the system settings to inprove speed, battery, etc. Not a ROM.

5.6.890 is a system version - although most refer to it as a ROM (Motoblur)

CM7 is a custom ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
Ok... so let me know if I'm starting to understand:

I tried to flash init.d using the safestrap but I had the problem booting in safe system mode and the config changes of init.d wasn't applied.

you told me to flash(using safestrap) the CM7 ROM or the 5.6.890 Motoblur "ROM" and then flash the init.d to have the config changes.

buuuut, I unnistalled the safestrap, installed the bootstrap, flashed the init.d and it booted normal...

now the init.d configs are properly working?

Thanks for your patience

I'm very newbie yet but beginning to understand thank you.

and sorry for my english, I am from Brazil
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
This is why this didn't work

You install safestrap, it allows you to install roms to your /preinstall directory (directory for windows users ^^). You don't install a rom but install the init.d files to /preinstall and then try to boot off /preinstall (because safestrap is enabled). Obviously that wont work because when your phone boots it looks for system files in /preinstall but all that's there is the init.d hack.

You uninstalled safestrap, installed koush' and then installed the init.d files to /system which your phone actually runs off. At that point the init.d is correctly installed.

Another option(the one that people are telling you here) is to install safestrap, enable safestrap, install your rom to the safestrapped system and then install your init.d hack on top of the rom you just installed which is also correct.

it's 2 different ways to do the same thing slightly differently(although with the second method you basically have 2 /systems). I hope this helps clear up your confusion.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
I was confused about what is ROMS and for what it serves...

let me see if I understand...

my OS is the android 2.3.4 which version is 5.6.890

the init.d is like a .exe that changes some configs.

the CM7 is like a firmware.

can I make this analogy?

but two thing are dark yet:

to use safestrap I would have to flash a ROM(CM7, 5.6.890 'motoblur', or another one) before flash the init.d...

but in the case of choosing the 'motoblur' ROM, won't my system change anything for it be the same as my 5.6.890 version?

you said that based on what I did using bootstrap, my init.d is working properly? is there any way to see it?

my another doubt is:

when I flash a ROM or a config like the init.d, is there any way to undo this?

thanks men for the explanation.

I'm grateful.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Your OS (android/system software version) is all firmware. CM7 is another firmware. Firmware is just a fancy way of saying "ROM" in this case and it just creates confusion.

If you were to install the motoblur safestrap rom (or any other rom) with safestrap enabled your system wont change, it flashes it to a backup partition instead and you would be booting it off your backup partition, your main system will remain untouched regardless of what you do to the second rom(that's what safestrap is all about).

Init.d is a directory in *nix that holds a bunch of scripts that the user is able to run.

As far as checking if the init.d hack is working, I assume the hack your using is Overminds, he posted

In his development thread. This might work for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
I opened root explorer and there was a ".itworks"(with a medal of sheriff) on /data partition

you said that safestrap won't change my system because it install the ROM in a different partition and the boot is made by there.

doesn't bootstrap happen the same? bootstrap overwrite the original system?

a case:

I used bootstrap and suppose that I want to unflash the init.d.. how can I do it?

thanks a lot
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
I entered in the bootstrap again to explore the functions...

I went to backup and it was doing a backup for minutes and I realized that I think I didn`t make the backup before flash the init.d... so i`m not able to restore my system before the init.d?
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Well...It depends on what your current phone state is. Are you in Safe Mode or non-safe mode?

If I am reading this thread correctly I would guess you are in non-safe mode but flashed in safe-mode. This means the hack is likely not working (I don't believe you can use SafeStrap to flash in non-safe).

In that case you will not have a backup but you have not done much to the system outside of the installs so it should not matter.

Unfortunately you picked the more complex recovery to start your android adventures with, and your starting instructions were incomplete. I prefer SafeStrap myself but it is really not that useful if you are not going to be doing some heavy hacking or rom flashing.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
calash, thanks for reply

I downloaded the safestrap on the hashcode's site:

Droid 3 :: v1.06 [ 2011-11-20 ]

md5sum: 72ac240d099ff2ab2a755ce8ff95060b

I turned of battery again and entered in recovery menu >> disable safe system and the it booted.

I read this:

"Use Bootstrap. Its probably not booting because you need to install a ROM after you enable safe system for the first time." from ChaoticWeaponry

so I unnistalled the safestrap and installed the bootstraped...

I put to do the boot by the bootstrap >> select the init.d file >> it installed >> boot the cell and it booted normal..
[Motorola Droid 3] sbardy:
It works 4 me
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Ok, so right now it sounds like you are using the basic Clockwork Mod recovery, identified by the installed Droid 3 Bootstrap from the market/downloaded. In this case you do not have a backup from before the change you applied (Side note: Backups are also called nandroid backups. They are the same, just a different term).

If you wanted to remove the init.d hack it would be a bit more difficult at this point. Not impossible but you may end up losing all your data. It depends on if the changes the init.d hack made are well documented or not. It is a fairly safe hack so I would not worry too much about it at this point.

For your reference the bootstrap you installed, also called Clockwork Mod, and SafeStrap do nearly the same thing, providing you with the menu at the very beginning when you power on the device and allows you to flash (what you did to install the init.d have), backup, and some other neat features.

The big difference is that SafeStrap allows you to have two operating systems, also called Roms, on the phone. These are identified as Safe and non-Safe. non-safe is whatever OS (or Rom, the terms mean the same on our phones) you start with while the Safe is a new install that you do in the same way as you flashed the init.d have.

As you work with it more you will get the hang of the various terms and software packages. For now you should be in good shape, even without a stock backup. We have ways to get back to a pure stock image if that needs comes up, just check the threads in the development forum for more information.
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
yes.. that's it

I made the nandroid after flashing the init.d... :(

so the only nandroid that I have is one with the stock system plus init.d configs.

If I want to test CM7 rom, can I flash it with workclockmod and be secure with the nandroid that I have?

Firstly, ICS isnt android 2.3, its android 4.1, android 2.3 is Ginger Bread, currently, all the ICS developments are still in beta stages and arent really recomended for daily use because they are still very buggy and need a lot of work before they can really be complete.

However if infact youre looking for a Ginger Bread ROM then there are a few different ones on our side of the forum that are all complete in their own ways, so youll get mixed responses from everyone on what they think is the 'most complete' ROM, just try a few out for yoirself and if youre up for it try some of the kernels that are in development and see what suits you best, its probably the best way of finding out really.

View attachment 802611

note; this is not the old w8 red themed version.

for root users get the full walkman experience by adding the mega bass tweek see this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319533 )

note; you will only hear a difference in sound if you have good headphones (eg, big dj headphones or the older type of in ear) not the stock sony headphones that come with the play, as i think they produce sound (bass) in a different way.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
Thank you for the upload, but it looks exactly like the default music app lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
yeah pretty much does lol but like the icon and the widget better at least its nice to have. now we have 2 of sonys iconic gadgets playstation and the age old trusty walkman in are back pockets + a phone of course.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] noojster:
I believe you should kindly edit your 1st post and say to all that people should apply the megabass tweak 1st before installing the walkman goodies :D

I installed the walkman stuff 1st and then flashed the megabass tweak and walkman was removed and replaced again by the stock music app :) Had to install walkman again but its okay

Will the megabass tweak stay after installing though? Im having a hard time telling the difference yet

Thanks!

EDIT: Tried to reboot to check and.. it reverts back to the stock music app.. do you still see it as Walkman after rebooting?

Now i dont know after reboot if

1. The megabass tweak is still on my system

2. If Im really having the walkman experience..

EDIT2:

Got it to work, installed it first, used Titanium backup to convert it to user app instead. Rebooted, flashed the megabass enhancer

*Cheers*

will try a second reboot
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
You don't have to factory reset or wipe cache in the recovery the mega bass tweek should just install also you will only hear a difference with eg Dj headphone the ones you get from Sony are not really compatible as they produce sound in a different way

I don't store many songs in my SD Card as I mainly use my iPod Classic but I have scrolled through many songs I have in my Play and their basses are super good now!

This is the best tweak I've met so far. You will need such a hi-end headset too enjoy the improvement here.

I'm on .42 firmware and I could install them without any probs. I don't think you need to update your FW to get these.

I don't think you need any screen shot.
