Ok. It works fine here. First download the new version. And do these actions.

#9 remove sdk

#1 Install SDK then

#10 update sdk

You may have installed the stripped down sdk which can't be updated. Also the disk image that BreakDroid comes in has to be mounted for the app to function.

I'm not trying to be snarky here, but it's a work in progress, but you seem to have spent more than enough time scripting up a donation page to be called by the scripts every chance you get. Cart before the horse really.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] northmendo:
Well this is kinda what I need.

The error is very helpful the complaing about a free product asking you to consider donating to the developer that may have a family to take care of isn't. If you don't have the time or paients to either close the window or donate. Then don't use my app.

On another note. To me your error is saying that your sdcard is mounted on the computer. You have to eject it and click disconnect on the kindle. If the sdcard is mounted on the computer then the Kindle can't access it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CCrew:
I have no problem donating to a developer. I simply have an issue with popping up a paypal screen on every third operation. Good work speaks for itself and people will donate. Broken work that has more nag screens than a bad piece of shareware? Not so much. I commend you for trying to put this out and debug it, but the blatant in your face for $ ? A bit over the top IMHO.

That error is from terminal running your script which is trying to read from your .DMG file and copy a file to the root of the SD card. If you want this to be a painfree process it's your script process #1 that's rebooting the device and remounting the partition. How are you going to copy the file in if it's not mounted?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] northmendo:
It copys the file over adb direct to the Kindle sd card. If it is mounted on the mac it can't access it.

I am working to stream line the whole process. If you have constructive suggestions I will take them in to account. I will look at changing my approch in the next version.

There is nothing I can do about the Kindle trying to mount the sd card to the mac after every reboot.

ClockworkMod Recovery?

My Kindle Fire is running v6.3, and I'm attempting to do all of this on a Mac. I came across BreakDroid, which is just what I was looking for. I was able to root with no problem, thank you so much! But I have a question...

What recovery is installed when using BreakDroid? I'd like to use ROM Manager to install a new ROM, but when I go to download a ROM I'm prompted with:

"You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."

If I choose Install, I have to confirm my phone model, with the only option being "Full Android on Blaze or SDP"

After confirming, I'm now greeted with the following message, with YES and NO as options:

"Full Android on Blaze or SDP does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"

If the recovery is based on ClockworkMod, then I believe that I will be Ok to proceed.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] northmendo:
You can proceed. It is a ClockworkMod based recovery. I don't think you will find any roms in there though. Can't hurt though.

kindle question

Thank you. I have 6.3 kindle and everything worked fine with auto-root option.

However it showed an error during step 4 "ERROR: Unable to create a plug-in (e00002be)", then I continued and during last step it told this:

"pkg: /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]"

Is this ok? Should I do anything else to fix this?

I have root – the most needed program (samba file sharing) works fine. However I still have 2 questions:

1. Google Play now doesn't work. It worked before sudden update to 6.3 with error.. What can I do to make it work?

2. How to prevent future sudden updates from 6.3 to next versions?

Thank you again.

Kindle Fire Rooting

Hi I'm new to rooting Kindle Fires. I have previous experience with the Evo and know my way around some of the rooting things. I just have a few questions for rooting the Kindle Fire.

1) If you use the auto method does it automatically restart the kindle fire upon completion of steps? and what are people's success rates with the auto feature.

2) Could somebody give me a step by step tutorial on how to root using breakdroid if I go manual way.

3) Is there any possibility of bricking using this method. (Sorry, its a new gift so excited to root but dont want to accidentally break it hehe)

I have a Verizion Galaxy Nexus and am on 4.0.4. I use a MAC and was wondering if this tool will work to unlock and root my nexus? I saw that it works with 4.0.3, but I've never rooted before and don't want to brick my device. Also, does this tool help you install Clockwork Mod and Superuser. I've been lookng at other methods of rooting on a MAC and every one seems slightly different. This seems like the best method, but I'm not sure if it will work with my 4.0.4 update. I couldn't find verification that it will work and if it doesn't I'm not skilled enough in this rooting to go back and save my device from becoming a brick.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Valhalla Black is fantastic - but not the stock feel or apk's. He stripped most stock out of it but you can of course add MOST - not all - of it back if you'd like. Some of the stock removed has associated libraries and other files needed to support the app.

Same with the ROM you are on. It is more 'stockish' and you can add back back the stock apps you want.

Think this is a limitation of the OS. Notifications are done in using ShellToast.Show method. Only configurable options are title, text, and a navigation url when clicked. Hopefully this is something that will get added as a configurable option in later OS updates.

Both have their pros and cons...I switch back and forth.

I use LauncherPro because I can't stand having my homescreens cluttered with all my apps. Sense is very bloated but looks a bit better (as far as Warm 2.3 goes), no bugs, 4G works, and performance is a bit better. However my GPS is completely ****ed on Warm 2.3 right now, but it works fine on MIUI. Can't figure out why.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jacobbones:
You could

Turn your phone into hotspot by either paying the cell company for the option or one of the alternate free ways.

OR

Make sure your in range of someones wifi signal and leech off it.

Not sure what your looking for other than that

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jacobbones:
Theres an app called foxfi that lets you do a hotspot on your phone for free on a stock phone if you dont want to root etc...

Unless you go for a data plan for your tablet your going to need some secondary device to get online, either a phone or a wifi router you can connect to.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Yeah, the wording of the question is confusing. It sounds like the OP wants to have a free mobile hotspot coming from the View. Any type of hotspot coming from the View will require a data plan with Sprint first. There's no way to get free cellular data from it.

But if that isn't the desired outcoming, but rather it's having data on the View, besides purchasing a data plan from Sprint (which is very different than a hotspot), you'll have to either use WiFi or tether via a hotspot from a mobile device.

Anyone with ideas, I am looking for help. I had been running CleanGB MTD on my Epic 4G for awhile. I decided to give CM9 a go. Finally decided to go back to CleanGB MTD. I used Odin put the stock EL30 GB rom on my phone. I then applied the patch so CWM would stick. Then flashed the latest CleanGB EL30 MTD rom. Installed all my apps again and the phone looks just like it did when I was running CleanGB previously. The only dif I can think of is the modem is now EL30, previously was EI22.

I am using the stock email app, not gmail to access my gmail account.

My issue is that approx 8 minutes after sending or receiving an SMS or phone call, I get an email telling I just called or texted. The email listed the other party and either says SMS with or phone call with xxx.

I can't figure out why this is happening. I have looked at all the setting I can think of both on the phone and my gmail account.
