Same predicament

In the exact same predicament, was on MIUIv4_I9000_2.3.23_v1.1...

screwed up trying to go back to GB rom, can get to download mode,

but stuck there. Tried Kies and all other drivers. Tried Odin, nothing.

Installed Ubuntu, tried Heimdall, all for not.

Guess I have to send it back to Virgin....

me sad !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestjsg:
thanks for sharing ..just weird that no drivers for ics rom works and I was always told that as long as you can get to download mode the phone is not truely bricked...but guess that saying must be changed now....i

will virgin fix it for you ? will they charge you ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurorv:
My SGS is past warranty.

Virgin sent me to a Samsung repair shop in ville St-Laurent.

They're charging me 50$ to reflash, extra 25 for 1 day service

Getting my baby back 10 am tomorrow... Whoohooo !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestjsg:
that is great news....do you know if they will have to open up the phone and flash the hardware?

(1) MAke backup of your market appliction with titanium backup.

(2) Download 4.0.2.A.0.42 from ( jlmcr87 posted the link )

(3) Flash this firmware with any version of flastool i did this with 0.2.9 & 0.6.8

(4) After flashing the firmware root xperia arc with the methood of ( zergRUSH any version ) i root with the ( zergRUSH version 1 & 3).

(5) After that immediately connect your phone with wireless network and check for update. Its display that new version is availabe 4.0.2.A.0.62. Click to update

After update click to install. IT will take time and your phone start several time dont worry about it. After completing update first boot take time.

(6) To Check root install CWM autoinstaller or Titanium backup. Have fun

Happy to hear it works for you. It doesn't work for me. When I try to update via OTA, the phone starts updating, does a few reboots and when you think it is done it shows a message "Could not install new software version. Try again"

Hello guys i have xperia mini wih 4.0.2.A.0.62 can i root it with the method you said?? I ask because everyone tells for arc only

thanks Alex :)
[Xperia Arc General] sokos1:
Any ideas on above ?

can it flash ARC S too ? (LT18i )
[Xperia Arc General] Loosely:
Same for me - tried 3+ times now.

This post seems to suggest the update is no longer available with ICS so close, but in that case I'd have thought it would fail earlier - the download seems to work fine; it's the install that fails.

If you want to update OTA from .42 to .62, don't change anything in the system files. Update to .62 OTA first, then do whatever you want to your phone.
[Xperia Arc General] BeNeQ:
Hi there :) Got the same problem. I was always using Zergrush method for root. When I got .62 firmware it wont work. (fails in console while rooting). You said that we must flash .42 firmware then root, then update via OTA, but I got relocked bootloader. Can it brick my phone?
[Xperia Arc General] zolaisugly:
Not with locked bootloader.

Only use ota with locked bootloader
[Xperia Arc General] BeNeQ:
Yes, but my friend got xperia play. After unlocking bootloader he locked it with THIS

method. Then he start updating via OTA and get his phone bricked.

I got locked bootloader with the same method.

NOT WORKING ON SONY ERICSSON XPERIA X8 (E15I) WITH ANDROID 2.1 (2.1.1.A.0.6)
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
The first update has just been published!

The following issues were fixed:

- improved Busybox and Root detection

- AdbToggle service didn't work anymore after a while

- more reliable detection whether screen is unlocked or not

Besides, I have received a crash report which I have tried to fix... however the bug never happened on my devices so I'm not sure if I really got it. So if AdbToggle still crashes on your phone after the update then please get back on me with more information!
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
Well, this tool is a must have... You think you're protected and then everything could be down just because the back door (the USB debugging) is enabled.

Some applications can disable USB debegging remotelly (like avast! Mobile Security), but it could be late...

Installation went well and the mobile (Samsumg Galaxy Nexus I9250 with Android 4.0.2 maguro official Google release) rebooted ok.

Worked.

Sure... no adb device plugged.

Worked.

Worked.

Worked.

Waiting for an update.

Seems ok, but it would be easier if it is a really widget, just toggle not open.

The application crashed twice, I've sent the reports.

When I click the widget, it gets blue/gray correctly but the icon does not show in system tray (i.e., you can't see the original icon of the USB debugging mode.

Any possibility of beta testers get a Pro ;)
[Android Apps and Games] D1G174L 4C1D:
Everything is working as you described. I'm on a Desire HD with BlackICE 1.50 Rom.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
Thanks for your feedback!

On my devices, when I hit the widget it turns off USB debugging, the Android notification disappears, and the icon is gray. I hit it again, USB debugging is enabled, Android notification appears, icon is blue.

Can you please ellaborate what is different on your phone? 'What' is opening? Or maybe you can post a screenshot?

About the crash: I've received the report and published a fix. Version 0.9.2 is the newest right now.

I agree that everyone who comes back to me with some feedback should receive the pro version for free. However I have to find a good way to make this possible. I have send some people the apk of my other app 'App Quarantine Pro' for free and got a report that they were not able to update to the newest version through Google Play. So I have to verify on one of my phones when I do my next update, but under these circumstance I would not be satisfied with this solution. And I don't really want to manually push APKs for each update since I plan to keep this going for a couple years, and there will be more apps in the future as well, so... ;)

Another idea is to try and refund the money through Google Play after purchase but at this point I also don't know yet if this will stop further updates or not. Probably it will....

A completely different idea is not sending the pro version to testers at all, but instead donate the first month's income of AdbToggle to xda developers. I'm using the App Quarantine user base (16K active users) to promote my own apps. For App Quarantine Pro this has been roughly 60 Euro in the first month so I guess with AdbToggle I'd be able to submit a fair amount as well...
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
Well, I got only the icon to start the application. Then I remembered I should add the widget icon. Now it's working as it should.

I suggest you make the background transparent. It's ugly over a non-black wallpaper.

I cannot update it using Google Play. It's not shown there.

I understand... Some app works with a "license" apk for another (free) apk. I can remember of ROM Manager (and ROM Manager Premium License), for instance. I don't know if the Market issue will arise the same.

Yes, refund cancel the updates (generally).

I'd liked the idea of App Quarantine, but I bought recently Ultimate Backup Pro and it does freeze/defrost app.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
new version 0.9.3

- removed widget background/border kind of thing

- make sure app is revived after it's been killed

- update widget state during automatic toggle

It really should be there. Please check again. Otherwise try to restart market, clear cache or reboot your phone. But I see no reason why it should not be available for you....

yet another possible option. I hate that you have to install two APKs to make the app run, however it might be one of the easiest solutions. Well, I still have left some weeks to figure out the best solution!

Everyone as he prefers ;) Though AQ's sole purpose is to freeze apps and therefore it also offers more unique features than traditional System app removers or Backup tools.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
I received a crash report with a comment "Changed to AOKP 28 and App crashed."

Can the guy who sent the report please give me more details....

- did you flash a new ROM without clearing Dalvik cache? are other apps crashing too?

- is AdbToggle still installed on the system partition?

- what were you exactly doing when it crashed?
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
new release 0.9.4

- fixed bug when widget stopped working after some time

- fixed crash in license info dialog on Android 2.x

- allow other apps to use AdbToggle (see App Quarantine)

- generally improved stability

Final two weeks of beta test!!!

When the beta test is over then the free version will still be available, however the automatic mode will only work in the paid version.

All testers who submit(ted) reports in this thread will receive the pro version.

AdbToggle now allows other apps to enable/disable USB debugging mode. This is already working with App Quarantine.

A free SDK will soon be available so other developers can add support as well!
[Android Apps and Games] julroy67:
Well seems to be a must have, as I often forgot to deactivate USB debugging when I'm finished with it. I tested it on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100).

So first, installation from Play, and installed fine as system app (don't needed the install of busybox as CF-ROOT for Galaxy S2 includes it). And next the testing :

Works.

Works.

Works.

Works.

Further test cases

Not yet tested. No update since installed, this morning, will wait on next update to report. ;)

The UI is all fine, nothing is lost.

The droid is always blue and grey according to the situation, between reboots, disconnecting and ticking in the settings, tested different cases.

Widget seems ok too.

No crash to report, all fine after testing for the moment. :D This shows that beta will end soon, as there is nothing to report.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
Thanks for your report.

I received 2-3 weird crash reports that are never reproducible on my phones and so I have no idea what's happening. There's also a one-star rating at Google Play but probably the guy didn't read this thread and was not rooted or something.

Otherwise I suppose the app is in a release-ready state! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] axtn95:
This is a great app! Tried it out on GSM Gnex 4.0.4 and everything works as expected. If you're gna make it paid, honestly I'll pay Max $1 for these kind of apps, not being rude just saying, don't make it more!
[Android Apps and Games] imani:
Not installing on Samsung S2 official Android 4.0.3 I9100XWLP7 (KIES)

The app says it installs as a system app, restarts the phone but no app in /system/app directory.

Running the app again takes me through the whole process again, with no install.

I use SuperSU to grant the root permission and it shows it is granted. I will continue digging and find out why.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
I have tested AdbToggle with SuperSU successful. My guess is rather a problem with busybox. What busybox installer did you use? It would also be interesting to get your logcat output when you try to install it.
[Android Apps and Games] cheshyre:
Tasker-compatible?

Do you plan to support Tasker?

I'd prefer to see this be a plugin, but as long as it is controllable via intent broadcasts, then Tasker would be able to toggle debug mode.

See http://tasker.dinglisch.net/developers.html for more info.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
I've just added the Tasker plugin on my To-Do list!

So far I haven't done anything with Tasker so I don't know if AdbToggle is working without a plugin... yes there are intents to toggle debug mode, but you need to have a permission in order to use them.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
Attention!

The beta test is over now and ADB Toggle is available in both a free and paid version. In the free version the automatic mode is not available.

Everyone who reported in this thread has received a download link for the PRO license key!

There will soon be a new thread for the full version of AdbToggle!

Everyone needs to update AdbToggle in Google Play! If you don't update then the app will not work anymore in Mai!
[Android Apps and Games] julroy67:
Thanks for the pro key, received it and works. ;)

Now I just report what I missed last time (even if beta has ended), updating with the new APK via Google Play also works fine, all works fine on the Galaxy S2 (GT-i19100).
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
hi people,

in the meanwhile there's a new thread about ADB Toggle Access. With this developer library it's possible that other root apps (that require USB debug settings) can use AdbToggle. Currently this is only implemented in App Quarantine but I'd love to see more apps jumping on it...

Visit the thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1637009

It's a bit lost so far, so I would be greatful if you could all click the "Submit this thread as a news tip" button in the new thread! ;)

A post on the XDA Portal would really help this idea along!

Thanks in advance!

Help...

I have try to Install your app on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16a. But when I click "Install AdbToggle as system app" receive "Not enough memory on system partition", although there is 124 MB of free memory. My phone is rooted but bootloader continues locked. Do I need to unlock the bootloader? :rolleyes: Please help
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
no, you don't need to unlock the bootloader. It's possible there's a bug with the installation. Please proceed like that:

1. Start ADB Toggle, try to install as system app. When you've got the error message then please select "Send error report" from the menu so I can investigate the issue

2. Perform a manual installation (I'm using Root Explorer in this example, another explorer might work as well)

- Start Root Explorer and go to /data/app/ and search for com.ramdroid.adbtoggle.... apk

- Long press on it and "Cut"

- Go to /system/app, click "Mount R/W", "Paste", "Mount R/O"

- reboot your phone

error report

Dear developer,

I have already sent you the error report, one report was sent yesterday at 4.22 pm (central time) and the other a few minutes ago.

Now I will proceed with your recommendation to use root explorer (I have it). I will maintain you informed.

With kind regards.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

I have downladed the app, but I can not install it, in view of that I can not find "com.ramdroid.adbtoggle.... apk", so, I can not do waht you recommend "2. Perform a manual installation ".

This is a very important app for me and I would like to have it. I will be waiting for any advance that you have about it. With my best regards.:(

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

When I try to install the app, an error appears: "There's no free disk on your system partition. AdbToggle could not be installed."

I have been investigating and many people is with the same problem or issue. My phone is Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16a, rooted, bootloader locked.

My best regards,

Dear Friend and Developer,

:laugh:INSTALLED.- What I have done was the following:

1- As was told you with root explorer was not possible to find "com.ramdroid.adbtoggle....apk"

2- I found it with Titanium Backup

3- In Titanium Backup I made a long press on it and "move to intern" then paste, etc.. with this steps the app was sent to "data/app......." and now was found there.

4- Then I have followed your instructions: Item 2

5-The app was installed.

I will be checking it and then will buy the key. Thank you so much.

With kind regards,:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Dear Developer,

I have found some issue as follow:

1- In Google Play I saw a person that says he cannot delete or remove ADB Toggle.

2- Today that I have already installed it I have found that this app do not show in here:

Settings>Apps>Downloaded, do not show in Settings>Apps>on SD card (here is logical because it is in the system)

3- The app appears here settings>apps>all. But with the issue that only can be “disable” not removed or deleted.

4- To remove or delete completely I have had to use “root uninstaller pro”: testing it. I reinstalled again.

5- So, what the people says that cannot uninstall is true.

6- When a person Root a phone is because wants to have a free option to delete any app, but with this problem or issue aforementioned your app is like the stock apps that came with the phone: Only can be disable not deleted, if the user utilize the normal way to remove it. In other way any person must delete or remove it with another tool like “root uninstaller”.

7- My recommendation is that you need to make improvements to become it as any normal app to be use with rooted phones. This is an excellent app but it needs more work.

8- In my opinion it is not ready to be in the market.

With kind regards.
[Android Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
Thanks for your research.

Actually the problem with the installation was that the app was installed on SD card and hence it was not found in /data/app. So if you first move the app from SD card to internal phone memory (in Android app settings) then I guess installation works better. I thought by default ADB Toggle doesn't install on SD card (and that's why I didn't see the issue until today), but on your phone this seems to be different. That's definitely an issue I need to address in the next update.

About un-installation: it is certainly possible! Launch ADB Toggle and from the menu select "Uninstall system app".

Installation on system partition is needed because the Android system limits USB debugging to system apps only. There are ways other root apps are using: they set a system property and kill/restart the ADB service. When I started to develop the app I tried this method as well but figured out it doesn't always work reliable. It also leads to an inconsistency that might irritate the user. For example if you have USB debugging enabled then you see the icon in the notification bar. If an app would hack the ADB service to disable USB then this notification is still there, even though USB debugging is not working. That's why I thought this is a rather stupid implementation. So instead ADB Toggle is toggling the same setting that you are toggling in USB debug settings as well, so you always get the correct state!

Yes, it is a high price to install it as system app, but that's the way it has to be done. The advantage is that after installation root access is no longer needed when toggling USB debugging. Actually root access is only needed to do the installation ;)

Maybe I'm wrong but I think 35.000 installs and an average rating of 4.3 speak a different language...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thank you for your help

I appreciate very much all your fine attentions. I will keep installed the app. For me it is very useful even with the issues already mentioned. I will be waiting any update. With kind regards.
