yes, there are only 2 ways of installing a recovery.

fastboot and adb

fastboot requires you to unlock in order to "fastboot flash recovery"

and in order to possibly do it through adb you need root and in order to get root at the minute you need to be able to flash an insecure boot image through fastboot, which again, you need to unlock in order to "fastboot flash boot"

Hello,

Looking for some assistance from those who are masters at this stuff.

My phone is unlocked/rooted running AOKP milestone 3 (4.0.3) and Franco kernel milestone 2. I've installed the openvpn settings and installer apps to system/xbin/bb as per instructions I found online. I then copied all the OpenVPN files I got from my service provider (strongvpn) to the openvpn folder on my phone and tried it out.

So now, I'm able to connect to the VPN server just fine. However, nothing gets pulled through it. I'm in China, and whenever I try facebook.com, Facebook app, or Youtube app, I can clearly see on the notification bar that the download rate is 0.0 kbps, and the page always times out. When going to other websites, the transfer rate shows up as normal (as in, it looks like it IS going through the VPN).

I'm no pro at all with these scripts, so I'm wondering if the script that works on my computer isn't appropriate for the phone. Could someone please have a look below and see if I need to add or subtract something to get the data to pull through this?

I already tried everything on this thread, but no luck so far:

I just got it to work by long pressing on my VPN and choosing preferences. Then I checked the box that said use VPN DNS server. I pressed on the option below to set the VPN DNS server. I set it to 8.8.8.8 which is a free google DNS server and it started working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andao79:
I don't know exactly how or why that works, but it does! Works beautifully now on both my Transformer tab and Gnex. Thank you!!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigjay517:
My guess is that the DNS servers used by default while on the mobile network can only be accessed from the mobile network itself. By opening a VPN connection your traffic appears to be coming from somewhere else. So the DNS servers are inaccessible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakelou:
After hours and hours of reviewing my routes, this ridiculously simple solution worked.

Android is inconsistent as Hell. I suppose Android caches the DNS server and doesn't propagate when OpenVPN forces a DHCP DNS change. This should really be addressed in future releases.

Makes sense now why Android-WiFi-Tether worked -- it uses DNSMasq and the developer sets it to use OpenDNS.

Where is application data generally stored? I know it's up to the application, but is there a general spot other than /sdcard/data?

I am trying to find the settings files / storage files for the Google Voice app. I am interested in whether or not the direct dial numbers for a person's contacts are somehow accessible, so I'm looking for any recommendations in finding these files.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dark3n:
This rather belongs in general Q&A.

What you are looking for is mostlikely in /data/data/[package.name]

or in /dbdata/databases if you run an older samsung device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sramanathan517:
I had rooted my nook tablet and flashed CM7 alpha build. Everything was working and I installed a few apps.

I left my device running, it got switched off automatically. Now its behaving strangely.

When I connect it to a charger(either a.c or usb), it automatically boots and displays the N symbol along with the Contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe systems incorporated. Then it keeps on booting like this until i disconnect the charger.

After installing CM7 I had rebooted 2 -3 times before this problem was seen.

I tried the following threads, but none of them worked:

Home and power work for me but you have to have it timed just right. Press one before the other and it won't be a screen capture. And make sure you hold it for a second or two (after you get the timing just right). It should copy the screen to the clipboard.

that's because the devs give us more than htc or verizon ever could. once this phone gets aosp it will pretty much trump any other verizon phone. that's unless the htc one ends up coming?

Damn I wish I could buy another at that price just in case my current one takes a **** in a year.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
there going for pretty cheap on craigslist too.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
verizons a bunch of assholes. they screw over indirect stores all the time with their dumbass price changes.

we had a bunch of rezounds bought at our 299 price point. then, verizon decides to drop the phone to 199, and 99 for new activation.....clearly, we can't match that, because even on the top tiered plan, we'd lose money...so we had to still sell at 299 for months.

then, i say f it, i drop the price to 250, get rid of the last one we bought for the 299 price point (taking a loss, but not that bad of a loss), and then we bought a few more at the 199 price point because hey, every other 4g phone that's high specc'ed is 199, so we should be fine.

now this bull****? seriously verizon? if i sell it at 99, i will, YET AGAIN, lose money for each damn phone sold. i absolutely cannot stand verizon.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
YUP I feel for ya. Its pretty clear - has been for awhile now - that Verizon wishes the Rezound didn't happen, and just wants to get rid of any remaining units in stock. The reason for why Verizon or HTC would allow such an amazing phone to be treated this way is kinda making me go crazy. It just doesn't make any sense.

Also, you know that Verizon itself is losing money when they sell a $650 device for $99 or $49 too.. the numbers simply don't add up to profit. The difference is, Verizon itself can probably eat the cost without thinking about it, whereas non-corporate stores most likely cannot eat that kind of loss without it hurting pretty bad. Still, makes you wonder why Verizon would rather lose money on a great phone, rather than market it better and keep the price up.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I have always scratched my head what the hell Verizon is thinking by not promoting this phone. This phone could have been as big if not bigger then the DINC was.

I just got my 3rd Rezound today and this phone has virtually No sound coming out of the speaker, annoyed from every direction
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yeah - I wonder if the number of problems with the phone is the reason. I've had one die, but seems my luck has been better than some others who have gone through 3 or 4 Rezounds...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
oh i'm sure. the phone was riddled with problems, so rather than create like a new revision of it, they're just pushing it aside since HTC is going to release a new phone for us soon anyway. it's ridiculous. it's not droid branded, so it didn't take the front stage.
[HTC Rezound] :
I have had no problems with my Rezound at all. My Bionic on the other hand was a piece of junk.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I just got off the phone w/ Verizon Tech. I will have my 4th replacement phone tomorrow and they are sending a 3 pack of screen protectors in for free since I told them that every time you send me a phone I put a new screen protector on it, then I send that phone back to you and get another.

The tech offered me to move into any other phone for free but I told her I would miss HTC Sense and right now HTC does not have a comparable spec'd phone so any phone I would swap to would be a downgrade.

She gave me here email and said if I have a issue with this phone we will swap to something else when something else comes out w/ at least the same spec's.

pretty good deal if I need to do that, hopefully i wont tho.

[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
how is it riddled with problems??

I had one that overheated, but my second one has been absolutely perfect.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
My first one was perfect until the screen died and stopped displaying anything. My second one has been perfect so far...

...but, I can't help but notice that there have been an incredible number of threads reporting problems as well as a high number of people who have had to return at least one Rezound for another.

I am extraordinarily careful with my toys. I have NEVER had to replace a cell phone before due to hardware glitches or complete failure. Not one single phone, ever, until a Rezound. :) Of course, the Rezound is only my second smartphone...

I still love my Rezound, but I do wonder if hardware issues IS the reason that HTC and Verizon are trying to ditch the phone.
[HTC Rezound] :
I have had many Androids and the Rezound seems pretty problem free to me. If you guys think people are having problems here then check out the bionic or gnex forums. The problems those people are having with their phones is much worse than our forum.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I don't really think it's any better or worse than any other phone.

The thousands of people with no problems don't generally find their way to message boards anyway, it's people looking for solutions that find their way here.

I remember plenty of posts in the DINC and DroidX boards where people had their phone replaced 9 times etc.

I know in a lot of those threads, I remember thinking " you're sending your phone back for that??
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
True...

I haven't been looking into other forums so I don't know if the amount of problems is common or not. But I do agree with you, I remember plenty of posts of what I would consider "frivolous" returns - like the "anti-glare coating" guy. LOL
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
my rezound is problem free (except the dust under the screen :rollseyes: )

but SO many people had to replace them due to overheating, battery issues, dead pixels. it was ridiculous..i was here like the first day our phone got a forum on here, and ever since then everybody was complaining about some sort of legit problems.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
In all fairness to HTC/Verizon though... most of the battery problems were the results of idiots using unfinished/unsupported versions of Android and then complaining that it must be the battery.

Dust under the screen would piss me off. That is like my one biggest pet-peeve ever! So far mines spotless, but I'll be pissed if I start seeing it.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
no dude, people had battery problems STOCK from the day they got it..the whole 3.7 vs 3.8 debacle, and the overheating had to def do partially with the battery as well.

and dust under the screen pisses me off..there was one under there that i hardly EVER notice from day 1..and now theres a BRIHGT ass piece of white something under there that i notice every damn day. this screen isn't sealed off, i guess.

The only smart phone I've had problems with was the bionic. called it quits after 3 returns. I currently have 2 rezounds on my plan and both are flawless since release week. I might be returning an iphone 4s as it is having battery or electrical troubles. It powers down sometimes and it only turns back on if plugged into a wall socket. Happens maybe once a week. If my daughter decides she actually wants to return it, we will. I still have 2 DX's and one DX2 that we let our toddlers play with and they are still running like champs. good for personal movie players, kids audio books, and chewing on.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:

It's because it doesn't have the Droid branding IMO.

It's times like these I'm happy I got two for 1 cent each, and haven't had a single problem with either.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I don't really care what the price is. I kind of waited for it to drop as I was still under contract on my Dinc when the Rezound came out and by the time I was ready, it had already dropped $100. I looked at the calendar and figured it would drop again in about 30 days, and I was right. So I pulled the trigger at $99. Now it is $49 and in a couple months they will have buy one get one free promos... that is hardly news or a big surprise.

Like the dinc I had before, it had the same types of pricing drops... I got it at pre-release and paid full pop.... if you waited, you paid less. If you don't know that, you head is in the sand. Every device over the past number of years have done that.

As for the Rezound... It is easily the best phone I've had so far, better than my Dinc. I've held off on the ICS leak simply because I'm not in a hurry for ICS.

I don't see anything on the horizon that will be better any time soon and I'm not going to buy another phone for a while anyway.

Outside of the cool docking pins that the Genex has and wish all phones had, I'm not too impressed with the rest of the phone. The display is okay but not as good as the Rezound, inability to switch batteries, poor radios and even NFC is not that big of a thing at least not yet and I am apparently one of the few that actually likes Sense.

MY phone is a phone first... that has to work or I need something else. The extra speed, more memory and the faster 4G are all bonuses. Since I got the Rezound it has been a pleasure to use no real problems for me so far.

So now it is $49.... good. Now more people can afford to buy one.
[HTC Rezound] d-style:
The phone is worth $199, but feeling like I just bought a discontinued device isn't. I will try and get a refund for the difference but if I can't then I will continue to enjoy my nice new phone and move on.

Gez Im starting to wonder about my purchase lol Gotta love the tax on $199.99 and CA specific tax, checkout was $107 but still think it was a good deal, razr camera i dont like (DX) and screen isnt great, nexus is nice but $300 a little too much now (rather go to PC hobby). Rezound seems like the perfect balance.

I hope most of the issues have been fixed by now. Anything I should watch out for? Coming from a DX, played with all the roms but went back to froyo liberty. Anyways my expectations for the rezound in comparison to the DX is a better camera (shouldnt be hard), 4g obviously, and the screen is a plus. Wish it was as thin as the DX but I dont care.

Kinda funny how an "unsupported" or "dead" phone is getting ICS this week ahead of many others.

This phone will be a monster with ICS, even better once the devs get all the new files and have a chance to tweak it. For $50 it is a STEAL.

Just like the Vivid, the rezound will scream with ICS. I also have a Vivid here and it was good, but after the ICS update it is unreal(and it isn't even overclocked and undervolted yet;))
