I had once lost my network unlock when trying to flash a ROM (with kernel)..

Later used the unlock code again which i had bought it from "American_unlocker" for the first time.. and it worked..

Thanks, I just unlocked my Captivate Glide, paid 25 USD to AmericanUnlocker.com. Was too lazy to call AT&T :)

Hello Everybody i just got my viewpad 7 2.2 froyo i want to root it ... when i open superoneclick and click root it stucks and doesn't respond
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dking66:
According to this thread "If there is no activity for more than 30 seconds and the terminal display is stuck at 'Running rageagainstthecage....' remove the USB plug momentarily and plug back in." Hope that helps. Good Luck!

hi

try ginger break it worked for me i have gvn apk im my olivepad thread take it try it
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] armando101:
i got the same problem...

It stucks at waiting for device... I've tried pluging it off and back in...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Alleycatzero:
you guy`s try a different usb port i had a simuliar problem with sut restoring the stock rom and i switch port and it worked youy can always try
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] elister:
Could never get Super One Click 1.7 to work, it just hangs on "Waiting for device" each and every time, no matter what usb port I use or known good cable out of my desk.

Gingerbreak appears to work, I have SuperUser installed, but I cant connect to the device with ADB Shell. lakehousetech's guide basically comes to a halt at the stock backup phase. I cannot get ADB Shell to find any devices period.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Alleycatzero:
first run setup when connect device then leave the syng prog runninggo to dos shell

enter viewpads cdrom letter here it is g:\ you have to check youre`s

the type adb shell

dont forget superuser on youre viewpad ask for permission grant it hope this wil work
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] elister:
Its also worth noting that I cannot actually boot into a recovery mode. On my HTC phone, I press down volume and power at the same time and it will boot into a BIOS/Recovery screen. Ive read that I need to do something similar with my Viewpad, which is to press volume down, volume up and power on in order to boot into this menu, but nothing ever happens. I get the birds splash screen for a few seconds, then the screen goes black.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Alleycatzero:
yes and keep pressing them all the time until it say`s left upper screen enter recovery screen if that does not work are youre buttons ok do they work?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] elister:
Yes the buttons do work (this is brand new, not even 24 hours has passed), in a normal operation mode, volume goes up and down. On my HTC phone, it was very easy to boot into this recovery mode, so this process of getting clockworkrecovery mod installed isnt totally new to me. Seems like its going to be hit or miss on this tablet.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Alleycatzero:
it supposed to be easy with youre pad to don`t know what els then sorry
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] armando101:
so, the only way to root is via gingerbreak? SuperOneClick doesn't work right?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] elister:
Ive made several dozen attempts to get Super One Click to work (wasted a few hours) and its just a big bowl of fail. Gingerbreak 1.2 is flawless, takes minutes and installs Superuser.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] kwbr:
never had any problems with super one click. make sure the right drivers are installed, open sync (syncusb.exe) and disable your firewall
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] elister:
Are you sure? Lakehousetech's guide to using Super One Click 1.7 does not mention syncusb.exe. Because of this, Im wondering if the rest fo the guide is correct, because even with my device rooted with Gingerbreak, the rest of the guide does not work.

Hello guys, I'm new here. I'm also facing the same problem in rooting my VP7. Tried different versions of SOC, stuck up on "waiting for device" and SOC stops responding. Tried also GingerBreak, installed and click Root Device and waited for ages and nothing happens. Almost followed all the guides posted here in XDA.

What am I missing? I'm about to give up. Thanks in advance. :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] boriflash1:
same problems....

I am actually in Germany, have a european Viewpad7 and spent hours and days to try to root it. To no avail.

I first read the postings in forums and websites, downloaded the newest (and then the successively older) versions of SuperOneClick 2.2.3. and tried - nothing, its stuck every time before connecting to the device.

Tried different USB-ports, enabled always USB-debugging, tried it with SD-card in or out - nothing. Same result with older versions of SuperOneClick (even using the alternate ADB-parser in "Advanced") - always stuck at the same place before connecting to the device. But - Windows sees the tablet and the card, because the usual window opens (for deciding what to do with the data on the card). Copying pics or music to the card is no problem.

Then - I left the SOC-Road for Gingerbreak. Installed, SD-card removed, runnig forever (25 minutes was the longest I let it run) - nothing. No reboot, no stopping of that little wheel proving that the program is not stuck and runs.

Now, before downloading another potential program for rooting, I became member here at XDA, looking for help.

I run Froyo 2.2.2, last viewsonic update is installed on the Viewpad (bought end of december last year).

I would be glad if someone of the "gurus" here could help me, because I spent three days now and I still don't see the light at the end of the tunnel....

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Okay, let's try a fresh approach to rooting the Vpad7 (does your specs. looked similar to mine under my signature below ?) What computer OS are you running - Vista, Win7 or XP Pro/SP3 like one of my older system?

Might I suggest, if you have access to/borrow one - start with a clean PC (I keep an older Dell laptop, XP Pro/SP3 with OEM drivers and basics installed and running, plus Antivirus & Firewall running (easily turned off/shut down as needed) - and easy enough to reformat or restore (if necessary) -

Setup a subfolder on the drive(s) with all the Vpad7 apps, drivers, devices, patches, etc. so that it's easily accessible; and, do the same for ADB & shell/busybox, etc. so that you can run command lines directly from the c:\ prompt (arrrh ...... the good old DOS days)

You might want to have an extra mini-usb cable (OEM or generic) available that is tested to work with similar devices - to play with "trying" out different USB 2.0 ports as needed.

It's possible that one of the self-configured/auto-installed usb drivers from the Vpad7 might be conflicting or competing as you run SuperOneClick (I sticked with v1.7x as newer ones tend to be more problematic per various posts I've read over the past 6+ months.) Turn off pc's anti-virus & firewall, etc. and do a reboot to clear the pc of any background running programs - and pay attention to any prompts, messages, beeps and alerts that pop-up as you proceed (as they often provide important clues to the likely sources of problem)

Follow the posted directions, step-by-step and do it carefully - upon initial connection, does it see a usb connection, recognize the device, attempt to use/run usb driver installation, etc. If it seemed to stalled while connecting or looking for device/drivers - try quickly removing & reconnecting the Vpad7 to the mini-usb cable, sometimes - this trick it into the "mode" to work (one of our HTC DI2 easily gained root but the 2nd. & newer one would "install" for over 3 hours, then a "clean/stock" fresh pc with the connection trick did it - rooted)

If this is still "no good" or you continue to run into problems - please post with any specific error messages or pop-up during the failed attempt, and let's see what can be done then.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] boriflash1:
Dear Letitride, first of all thank you very much for trying to help. Let me answer your questions one by one.

My computer runs on Vista home, its a laptop and has all the official windows updates. Four USB-ports, all of them working (checked with my external hard drive). When plugging-in the Viewpad, the window with the options how to open the data on the SD-card immediately opens.

I do not know how to access the data on the Viewpad like you did, but I definitely have Froyo 2.2.2. and the last official update, official rom.

Sorry, I don't know anyone at the moment (as I am travelling) with another computer I could use. So I guess I have to stick with mine. But when I do a restart, all applications running before should be terminated anyway. I could also move all the data without any problem to and from the Viewpad's SD-card.

Now you lost me. Which drive? Laptop drive? Where do I get the VPad7 apps, drivers, etc? I have to have them before copying them in any subfolder (subfolder of which folder by the way?). Same question for ADB, shell, busybox. Sorry for my stupidity, I am into Windows, but not into Android....And even in Windows I must confess that I almost did not run anything from command lines. Never needed to....

I even have three cables and 4 ports and I interchanged already all of them.

Already did. I tried them from 1.6 on upwards... No success.

I turned of windows firewall, Avira and the Viewpads antivirus. No success

YES

Hmmm.,... it recognizes the SD-card, but not the device. That is also the problem when using SOC....it is stuck at ...looking for device....

DID, but it did not move of change anything when SOC is stuck.

I do not get any error messages - neither from the Viewpad, nor from Windows. SOC simply stops working, the window gets white and then when I try to close it, it simply states that SOC has a problem in closing. On the second click, it closes.

I hope I was a specific as possible, excuse once again my ignorance concerning android. It definitely seems that my laptop sees the storage device, but not the Viewpad itself. Changing cable or changing USB-ports did not fix that.

Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Edited your details to try to keep it short - it read like there some of the device drivers might be missing or need to be installed.

My laptop was reformatted last month running Vista Business & from my notes, when the Vpad was 1st. connected, it recognized the new hardware (Qualcomm USB device) and proceed to install 3 drivers, enabled a virtual CD-ROM drive with additional setup files, and when it was done including a reboot, the laptop has 6 new hardware/device drivers - and both the new virtual CD-ROM and USB removable device available & working, with USB debugging enabled and once the USB drive was turned on (default is off)

Have you tried to go to Control Panel, click & uninstall all the related USB drivers, including a PC Tools apps auto-configured by the Vpad7 ?

Then, shutdown & reboot the laptop - reconnect the Vpad and let it re-install everything from the beginning. (also, do you have a spare mSD card, an older 8GB or even 4GB mSD would be useful ?)

As for the sub/folder - I was referring to creating to making a subfolder on your laptop's drive, and saving/moving all of the vpad7 related donwloads, SOC and custom Roms, etc. to this folder (and subfolders as necessary to keep it organized.) I put the adB and busybox files, etc. here too as downloaded - in order to run adB using the command prompt per instructions - this Android & linux based "stuff" is new to many of us, but to have fun is to allocate some time to learn them. There are links here on XDA on the basics & it's worthwhile reading.

Also, did the Vpad7 install PC Tools, which is used to sync. files between the laptop & the V?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] boriflash1:
hmmm....

...it looks as if there are no drivers at all installed on my laptop related to the Viewpad....after a look in the

Strange. So Windows only sees the SD-card and not the device. I begin to unterstand the problem with SOC (but not with Gingerbreak...)

Now the question is - how do I get the drivers on the Windows system, so it recognizes the pad? When I plug the pad in, no other (new) drivers are installed. I did not get any CD-Rom with it (for an installation, like with printers or scanners).

When I activate the USB-connection (little green android becomes red), a CD-Rom Drive with the folder RUT comes up. If I click the setup.exe, a synchronisation-program opens to synchronize Data and Names. So it sees the pad?? But then?

Sorry about my ignorance when it comes to android. Even with the virtual CD-Rom drive running and the little android in red, SOC stops at "looking for device...."

I looked in the control panel and I could see no additional drivers added.When the pad is plugged in (communication with the laptop working via USB), I see in the control panel

- ADB-interface (with no supplementary information except "working fine")

- an Android SCSI-CD-Rom V001 USB-Device

- a Google Mass Storage USB Device

- portable media - G:/

How should I see the related USB-drivers, when all I see are standard Hostcontrollers and 6 USB Root-Hubs? No trace of any special Viewpad drivers.

Thank you again for your time and help.

Please don't ask me how it worked, but it did after some more hours trying...

I activated "USB-hotspot Tethering" and somehow SOC just went through after disconnecting the cable twice.

Thank you again for your help and time. Sometimes things suddenly work.... no explanation possible.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Whew, glad to hear that you got it rooted & now has the option/choice to flash & run a custom ROM on the V.

It's possible that Vista's security settings as configured (UAC, etc.) automatically blocked the installation of devices/drivers by default? The Setup.exe in the virtual CD-ROM drive is, I believe, what launched & installed the 3 additional drivers on my Vista OS. I did this previously while running another laptop with XP Pro SP3 and it was a little different but similiar. From my notes - one is for Qualcomm HSUSB device and for ADB Interface (restart required) From your description, it read like everything needed is now installed - uninstalling other un-needed usb devices/drivers, restarting & re-installing do work magic, sometimes & yes, hard to explain until you spend hours in front of the gadgets, scratching one's head for answers & logics (none ...)

No, there are no standalone CD drivers or installer files needed, everything is self-contained within the V (same is true of other Android devices including our smartphones, upon initial connection to the PC for the 1st. time - it will configure & auto-install, which is sometimes being prompted to continue/allow or cancel/exit)

Now, whenever I connect the V - autoplay for the CD-ROM run and when USB is enabled, 2nd. autoplay for the removable drive (mSD card on the V) launched too.

Now that you are rooted & get CWM Recovery working, make a backup first before doing anything else, or do nothing at all - and save it elsewhere (laptop, usb jump drive, etc.) for safe-keeping - before flashing Roms or doing other customization. Have fun & enjoy ! :D

P.S. Looking at your hardware (FTM info) - your V is the newer ones with ITE multi-touch screen hardware, so stick with ROMs known to work with ITE and you will be fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] feiks:
Hi,

Now I know that someone has asked this before, but googling through here ( as in the internets ) is near impossible unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

Now the Gio is somewhat left behind, because to use it as a mass storage device ( flash drive/card reader ) you have to have Kies drivers installed. This is, of course, frustrating. I've recently flashed to CM ( phiexz YOU ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF GIO COMMUNITY AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED ) in hopes that this would be fixed, because in my own mind it's a software issue... Turns out that it still needs drivers. I don't know what levels of complete retardness one must reach to do something like this to a 2011 smartphone ( even a budget one ).

So the question is : how do you ( is it possible ) to use mass storage capability without drivers installed on host pc?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shiftyHungary:
Nohow.

Since the PC itself needs some drivers to recognize all of the capabilities of the phone, it is nearly impossible to have your phone making prober connection without drivers.

Although, in Linux(Ubuntu 11.10) I just connect the phone and recognises it as a card reader. This may be because of the Linux basics of both system, I dunno.

Well several other phones ( LG p500 for example) can be used as regular flash drives ( sd ) on windows based machines without any drivers or CWM's
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] samydroid:
Never mind but why installing drivers is such a big issue? I installed kies once I bought this set and since then I just connect my device to windows machine and it detects it as a drive. I don't use kies at all!

And if you find installing drivers really frustrating then try using apps that let you transfer data over wifi connection (airdroid etc.). They don't require drivers (hopefully) but i'm not sure though. Better give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] feiks:
erm Plug and Play vs installing Kies ? retorical question

thanks for suggestion though, i'll check airdroid ;)

[Dell Streak 7] diddy64:
..........of good money. I bought a Dell Streak 7 for my son for Xmas thinking it would be great compared to my Dell Streak 5. Ooops, how wrong i was. Duel core Tigra 2 and for what, angry birds. Ok i must confess Bang Bang Racing is far better than anything ive played on the S5 but its a joke that he cant play tintin, backstab or any of the other games that supposed to play well on other less able machines.

I have even changed the Build prop within system so that Marketplace thinks it is a HTC Desire HD but only to find after handing money over the games come up with "not compatible".

Anyways, has anyone had any luck getting what is a potentially great machine to play such games?

Thanks in advance, David.
[Dell Streak 7] theguy:
change your build prop to G2x:

ro.product.model=LG-P999

ro.product.brand=lge

ro.product.name=lge_star

ro.product.device=p999

This is a tegra 2 device with wvga screen - the same as the streak 7.

Desire HD uses a Qualcomm processor so the games you get on that build prop won't work.

The joys of parenthood.

[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
What custom rom are you running? Have you considered that those apps might not be Honeycomb compatible and it isnt' the tablets fault?
[Dell Streak 7] diddy64:
Hi and thanks for reply, ive 3.2 dj steves rom, ive searched alot at gameloft games and I believe its more a problem with their APKs as apposed to the machine. Its a pity they have not bothered to include the S7 on their compatible books as the 7 is well capable to run such games.

UPDATE:

Has anyone been able to get games that are graphically good on the s7, the likes of spiderman, nova, 9mm, backstab and dead planet. As I have mentioned earlier, pretty much all the games on the s7 are on my S5 and considering that i had to purchase another Ipod Touch for my son, do i keep the S7 or sell it at a loss.

Really appreciate some help on this,

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swali:
Hi guys,

as you know some days ago, Samsung has leaked their SGS2 ICS firmware, which I learnt on sammobile.com.

In their article, was a tutorial to install it, so I did.

I tried it a bit, but have been desapointed, so I decided to flash back to MIUI.

Thus I first flash another kernel, but here my trouble start.

Long story short, if I don't use the leaked, buggy firmware, I have a "Kernel panic - upload mode" and Kies does not recognize my phone to flash it back to stock.

I figured out that in the tutorial I have been told to change some file I've never flashed (like the pit, the modem and I think the CSC). Files that I don't know anything about. So I thought that those files weren't compatible with previous kernel etc. but as I don't know much, I can't be sure...

So I am know with a very buggy phone (for instance, I cannot be phoned, but I can phone to people) or a kernel panic. Help please :/

By the way, if someone could explain the meaning of those files, it would be cool, not to do the same mistake again.

And as I think : in all the tutorials using ODIN, it's said the I must not check "re-partition", what is it about ?

Thanks, and sorry for my poor English :-)
