More info ...

Just for the hell of it, I also tried this:

/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 10000000 -end FFFFFFFF

It ran a lot longer than the other attempts, of course, but it still just kept spewing out that error message.

It looks like I need a different way to temporarily root my phone. Any ideas?

Here are more details about my phone:

- T-Mobile myTouch 4G slide, purchased from AmazonWireless.

I just now tried Visionary+. Not surprisingly, it didn't root my phone.

Thank you very much.

I know I'm running the right fre3vo command ... nothing getting cut off.

How do I find out what bootloader I'm using? It's the standard one which came with my MT4G.

PS: Oh! I figured out that I can run "adb reboot-bootloader". Here's its version:

DOUBLEBOOT PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.45.0013

MICROP-0353

eMMC-boot

I re-unzipped fre3vo.zip and repushed it to my phone.

I re-ran the fre3vo command, and I stopped getting pages and pages worth of "An error occurred while running the exploit (-1) (errno: 25)"!!!

So I must have somehow corrupted the earlier version of fre3vo.

However ... it never says this:

Potential exploit area found at address xxxxxxxx:yyy.

Exploiting device...​

It just goes through the "Scanning region xxxxxxxx" scenario without finding any code to patch.

So I'm still not getting anywhere. :(

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

I just did a factory reset on my phone and tried it all again. Same problem.

(no error messages, but no exploit installed)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Hmm, well this exploit is for the mytouch 4G. Perhaps you should head over the doubleshot (MT4G Slide) section and check that out.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HippoMan:
Oh! I didn't realize that the myTouch 4G is different from the MT4G Slide. I'll head over there now.

Thank you.

Sorry to all of you for the bandwidth.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
No worries. I hope you get it figured out bro!

I'm reading conflicting things on the forums. Also, does the latest kindle fire utility work with 6.2.2? Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
yes - recovery has nothing to do with the "os"

Thank you

I have TWRP myself, but I did not use Kindle Fire Utility to install it.
[Kindle Fire General] isaiahhhhh:
Out of curiosity, how did you install it?
[Kindle Fire General] machos1:
try installing twrp with kfu 0.9.1

I had problems with latest version 0.9.3.
[Kindle Fire General] Ikos:
I used Kfu v0.9.1 and everything went fine, try it, it's really easy to use.
[Kindle Fire General] Krunkatron:
KFU is super easy to use and very straight-forward. I was rooting and installing a custom Rom in no time.
[Kindle Fire General] bvjens31:
The new KFU (0.9.3) worked well with rooting 2 of my 6.2.2's and installing TWRP from within. Now I have to see if the KFU can get one of them out of a stuck kf logo :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmoxis1984:
Hello. Installed Team ICSSGS RC 4.1 with default kernel but still have problem with music player not being able to play music on ext. SD card sometimes.

I have to clear data on Media storage and Google music to make it work.

But after couple of hours the problem appears again.

This also happened to me with RC 3.1.

There is other fix to this ?

NOTE: 1) I had none of the problems others described with EFS and IMEI

2) It wasn't necessary but i still wiped before installing this ROM

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hisham krema:
RC4.1 doesn't have Google music !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmoxis1984:
I have replaced The default music player in RC4.1 with tha modified CM9 Google Music - they have the same signature

+ installed Original Google music v. 41512

both have lockscreen control, and look and feel like no other music player

But i had the same problem before, with RC 3.1

Anyway, except for this problem, this is the best ROM so far :D

2.3.6 looks so old

No FM radio ?!!!

there is no fm radio tuner by default in the rom. can someone help me to get fm working in this rom? (I tried spirit FM app from market, didn't work.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksirc:
I used to have this problem as well when I was on RC3.1. I just run error-checking from my computer and that seems to fix the issue (right click sdcard> properties>tools>error-checking)

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Spirit FM does work on both RC3.1 and RC4.1. Just change the Audio to GalaxyS Alsa and make sure your headphone is connected to get a signal. There is a bug though, you have to reboot your phone after using it or you won't hear your caller the next time you get a call.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anupam05:
I had issue while copying files to external_sd/emmc through USB(RC4.1). But I formatted sd card (FAT32, had issues with NTFS) copied files directly through adapter and everything works fine.......you get option to fix issue while inserting sd card in pc(windows), remember you need to ignore this else your phone will say unrecognized files on card and keep asking to clear all files!!

thanks for the info. Is there any other better app than spirit fm ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmoxis1984:
thanks guys but i tried error checking and nothing improved

but i found out that i only need a forced media scan to make my music players work on external SD, witch is a little better than wipeing data

I remember that even Teamhacksung ICS could not read external SD in earlier builds, but don't know about Build 15.

So maybe there is something wrong with Google ICS code ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmoxis1984:
Problem solved

Problem solved

It seems the problem is with some music players like Google music and CM9 Google Music (but others on the market too)

The default music players in TeamICS RC 4.2 and Teamhacksung build 16

work very well :D ( Teamhacksung build 16 music player also has a lockscreen control widget :) )

I think those are the same as CM7 music player, maybe with some modifications
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierral13:
Hi !

I just installed RC4.2 but I cannot install google music ! Can you tell me how you did that ?

I really like this rom, but I'm disappointed not to have google music (It worked on RC3.1..)

Thanks !

It seems that too many devs are leaving us due to repeated noobs question and generally flooded threads.

I thought to myself why not use an SGS 4G facebook page as a gate for all QA & General simple questions and leave development issues and logs for the xda forum? This way people will have the community they want and devs will get the order and work environment they want.

Please let me know what you think before it will become another one of those threads and be closed by moderator.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
In theory it sounds great. However people will not post there for reason they dont post in proper sections here.

The real issue is this, the community is divided. I left the Optimus V because Virgins coverage sucks for me. I really wish I could have kept the phone and plan and the main reason is the community. At AC I swear the people there help everybody. Even if it is a question already asked. Somebody will pipe up and offer a link.

Im guilty as charged in attacking a n00b for being stupid. However witht eh cost of the Optimus V and the extremely cheap plan many people was buying the phone to tether and have cheap internet. And Most of those people were clueless as to what the hell they were doing. In most cases a friend told them about the phone and plan and how easy it was to root and start tethering. As a end user you dont want those people creating issues for your service. So if your rude and refuse to help they go away.

But right now I can point you to at the minimum of five threads where the community is helping the noobs and letting the devs do their thing. If a dev needs to address something they do. Otherwise the community answers questions. The biggest reason for this is changelogs, instructions, and all that stuff is never deleted just updated. Even if the rom has evolved to a new level. The old info is still posted so people can find out what changed in the various releases. Plus even after somebody asks the same question ten others have asked patience is exhibited and answers are given.

The community here needs to stop worrying with telling people to search and start offering help. Most people come here and ask because they dont know how. And quite honestly dont feel like reading thread after thread after thread of rules and guidelines.They are looking to get a answer for the problem at hand. Most of them will go away if pointed in the right direction. However when people start piling on flaming them for not searching properly it just creates more spam in the thread and drives them away. Then you have people that talk major **** about how xda is a bunch of arrogant f*cktards.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Holocene:
Plenty of people do help in my observations. Im new and signed up only to help people. Answered a 'noob' question before making this post, amd I was nice about it too.

Fortunately, most 'noob' questions have already been answered somewhere on here. I know this because every question I have ever had has been answered by searching for it, not by posting. Not by derailing dev threads either.

The dev threads are filled with simple questions with simple, searchable answers. I shake my head when I see the same question asked posts apart surrounding the answer in a non-Q&A forum. And then I see that person who is asking get mad, or cry 'search nazi!' because someone says to search for it. Give me a break.

If the answer to a simple and eady to answer question is out there and can be found by a search, and someone asks the question anyways after being told that is what they should do in yhe futurethat is laziness, not ignorance. And getting on their case is not arrogance, some of those asking questions have high enough post counts here, they should of learned how to make their own way by now.

I should also add that I have no programming experience, and have only been using a smartphone for 3 months. Yet I have never had to ask a question about how to install a rom or fix a brick. Because I searched for the answer, and everyone else should too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
How do you think the "experts" learned? I only posted 3 threads in my first 3 months here at XDA. Do you know why that is? I searched and didn't find an answer to my questions and I decided to make threads. Turns out people didn't know the answers to those either. Go figure. Everything else that I wondered about I found a thread or guide for. It's really not that hard.

If you're not willing to do some reading to be able to understand how to follow a guide you shouldn't be flashing anything to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I agree people should use the search function. Have you ever thought they did search and ended up being directed here. I have seen stuff posted and a day later comeback searched the thread because it had grown five to six pages since I seen the post and dont know where the information is. Only to not be able to find the post in question. Yesterday I searched for something I had seen posted the search results..stated they were updated 10 minutes before I had searched. How is that even possible?

Im not saying every single question should be answered with a simple heres the answer next time search response. But dont expect every person to read through every guide in fifteen threads to figure out where a wallpaper is located.

Not every person that comes here for answers is a dev or wants to be a dev.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
@ eollie: I have a great idea... quit talking about it and writing these long unnecessary posts and start helping. Lead by example! Maybe others will follow suit since you seem to think people don't help others on here. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with these LONG posts?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Holocene:
I generally bookmark posts that contain information relevant to my interests that I may not be able to commit to memory at the time. Yes, some get changed but most are because the information is wrong or outdated. Another post nearby most likely holds updated info.

I just typed "where in an android rom is the default wallpaper located?" into Google. The first link is to an XDA post titled "Where is a Rom's default wallpaper stored?". The answer to that question is on the first page of the thread. It even has instructions on how to extract it.

Try it yourself. Searching works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I spent three hours tearing apart a rom to find a wallpaper used on the lockscreen. Im not a dev nor am I a themer but even doing a search for where lockscreen wallpaper is located kept directing me to widgetlocker and those types of apps. A week ago I would have just posted here in hopes somebody would point me in the proper direction. Instead I just sat in front of my computer for three hours because I didnt want to deal with the responses.

Your smartass response...well its not so smart.

@lumin30 dude seriously if you dont like my posts ignore them. Im sorry the community here is absolutely horrendous in helping people. Prime example is the post I have quoted above. Instead of taking what I was saying and using it logically he took it literally. I wasnt asking where I was using a simple example of what I have seen here. Then he even attempted to insult me with his last comment.

Im not here to make friends or enemies. Im here lookig for ways to better my android experience. When that experience is hampered because some tool wants to be a internet badass it pisses me off. Especially when in the process of berating somebody they prove how ignorant they really are. Most people that post here are human beings once in a while you will get a spam bot but 99% of the time you are dealing with a human. Some are old enough to be your grandparents others your teenage brother/sister.

eollie made some ramblings against Raver in the Q&A section too.

eollie - I am sorry! Please do not attack me with four paragraphs for saying that.

MY RESPONSE: OK
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
And you just cant let it go can you? I apologized to him and he has accepted it. See adults work things out and accept mistakes and apologies. I guess a child like you just wants to keep the friction and tension high so you appear to be superior. Regarding my not following my own advise in ignoring people..I find your posts in response to me very amusing. You just can help yourself and not respond. Your like a woman arguing to get the last word in. You just cant help it. I would say Im look forward to your response but honestly its not fun anymore you are too predictable.

lumin will post within the next ten minutes rebuting me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Holocene:
Your name calling, swearing, and the chauvanistic and defamatory comments you just made speak on your behalf. Noone on this board is picking on anyone as much as you are. Good luck getting any help or making friends with that attitude. Peace out dude.

@mods Im done with this, sorry about this being new and all. I couldn't continue watching his thread derailing and user bashing without saying anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Im glad you feel that way. I have seen it first hand tho. You even did it in your initial post to me. Tried to insult me via your last comment. Good god its like people cant see past their own nose. Im guilty as charged in smashing noobs with a bat. But Ive never claimed to not do it. I just think sometimes it is not necessary.

High road exit was before you posted to me initially. Getting back now will be a long process or winding mountainous roads. Dont forget to enjoy the view along the way tho. There is some awesome put out points to take pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
as much as i'd hate to say this, but i see this thread getting deleted before the weekend.

now to get back on topic. i personally think it might be a good idea, but unfortunately i don't see it working in this community. we're trying with our wiki page, but it seems that people just want to be spoon fed for this device. trust me, i've checked the mytouch 3g slide forums (my fiance's device) and the galaxy tab 10.1 forums (my next device) and have yet to see what goes on here on those forums. seems to me MOST people with this device are nothing but spoiled little teenagers that are spoon fed all the time. it's no wonder the devs are dropping like flies. if i was a dev, i would leave also. sorry for ranting on your thread itz, but felt this was the best place to put in my 2 cents worth.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I mentioned it before but a lot of people ignore wikis because they are typically out of date. In the beginning people will update them regularly and then just stop. However after some time looking around I can say the SGS4G wiki is just the opposite. Tons of info and for the most part easy to navigate. Which brings up another problem with wikis. The ability to navigate it easily and endless loops of redirects. Again the SGS4G doesnt appear to suffer from that.

Maybe instead of the sticky posts with thread links we could get a single thread with wiki links. That way info is updated and people are spending an hour navigating through search results within one thread. In my mind this makes sense just putting it in print is eluding me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
Idk about the Facebook page. Seems a little too personal lol, and not everyone uses it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
The fact it is personal and exposes peoples real identity is what makes it awesome. Most of the people here wouldnt act the way they did if they were made to use real name and such. Being anonymous has so many advantages and disadvantages.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
back on the actual topic, since it has once again been derailed by the self-appointed thread police....

Devs are not leaving us only for the reasons you stated. Some of that may be part of it, but it's not the sum total...

As for Facebook page... feel free to create one, and I wish you the best of luck.. as one of those 'weird' people who doesn't use Facebook, i won't be coming to visit it...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I don't understand why almost none of you related to the thread topic, nor did you suggest an alternative,

so we stay with noobs asking questions in the main pipe, novice who preach them and don't help

and devs leaving with hard feelings.

Suggestions or it didn't happen...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
I didn't suggest an alternative because I don't have one to suggest, aside from people acquiring some common sense, and common courtesy...

There will always be new people turning up, and they will always have questions, and many of them will always feel that the search button is for someone else, not them.

You can't avoid the unhelpful preaching novices either. As long as people don't have face-to-face interactions, they don't think they can be held accountable for being asshats. So they will continue to act as such.

You want a suggestion? Read and learn, and then advocate for the n00bs, answer their question, and then document those answers in the wiki, so when the question is asked again, you can point to a thread or the wiki...

The power to resolve this is yours as much as anyone else. If some of these folks put as much effort into doing this as they do in belittling the new kid there wouldn't be as much hate and discontent around here....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
itzik2sh Core has the right answer right there. Really the best solution is for people to stop and realize in a perfect world the rules and guidelines would be followed all the time. But this isnt a perfect world.

The flaming, belittling, trolling, and just outright insults will not stop until people realize that. If people want to leave because its unbearable then let them. If it is a dev that is wanting to leave let them. If people dont want to have patience and understand this isnt a perfect world then honestly they need to go somewhere else.

One of the things I notice is devs feel the need to answer every question that comes up. And some people will not take advise from the community they want the dev to answer them personally. That cant happen. It shouldnt happen. If we want great things from the devs the community needs to step up their game and help answer questions. Even if the question was answered four pages back. In threads that grow to 100+ pages you can not expect people to read every single post. Even searching the thread may not turn up the answer if the proper search terms arent used.

This is why a facebook page will not work. 5 out of 10 people would never say the things they do here if they were posting under their real name. Several devs have tried moving roms and app releases to FB and Twitter only to have people copy and post the links on xda, AC, and other android sites.

Core your not one of the weird people, I sometimes wish I had not created one back several years ago. /shrug
