[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
I had decided I would try it on my phone as-is. When I run the script I get what appears to be syntax errors or something.

bypassme.sh[12]: /system/bypassme/physicalmem: No such file or directory
bypassme.sh[16]: ./kexec: No such file or directory

Hopefully we will get a version compatible with our phones and CM9 soon. I'd like to see something like the 2nd-init exploit that can do it early in the boot process.
[Motorola Droid 4] phrir1:
From what's been said I think it only works with stock rom. Any custom rom would have to be ported to it. And for the d4 as well

Edit: did you run as su

[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
I modified the bypassme.sh script to

insmod /system/bypassme/atags.ko
cat /system/bypassme/atags3 > /proc/atags
cat /system/bypassme/physicalmem 0x4A314048 w 0x4444AAAA
cat /system/bypassme/physicalmem 0x4A314048 w 0x44445555
insmod /system/bypassme/functions.ko
insmod /system/bypassme/userspace.ko
cd /system/bypassme/
sh kexec -l zImage --devtree=devtree3 --ramdisk=ramdisk.gz
sleep 10
sh kexec -e

and it runs and displays some funky text but doesn't seem to actually do anything. But is it the same error the CDMA Razr gets or something else?
[Motorola Droid 4] fatihx:
so does it mean also droid 4 can be used with gsm ?
[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
Yes, but that's old news and the tool that's supposed to allow it is just another thing Motorola has promised to release at some point in the future.
[Motorola Droid 4] redddog:
I'm going to show my total stupidity here and ask a very basic question.

If we already have root, custom ROMs and recovery, what does the custom kernel allow you to do?

Sorry for bringing it down to the lowest level and thanks for your patience.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
it lets you flash custom kernels (to overclock, underclock, change voltage levels), it also let's you flash custom radios for better reception
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Even a safestrap rom remains running off of the Motorola kernel. If we can run our own kernel, we can hack deeper into the device, compile our own drivers, and actually update the kernel itself to the latest one from AOSP. For example, right now we are running Android 4 using a kernel from Android 2.3, kexec would allow us to update that.
[Motorola Droid 4] niai_mack:
as fare as i understand this should let us unlock GSM on the phone for use in Europe

or am i mistaken?

if i am not then how long do you think until we see GSM working?

edit

sorry it was late when i posted that and thought this was something to do with the baseband not bootloader
[Motorola Droid 4] The Magician Type 0:
Someone in the general section under the Droid 4 for Hong Konger claims to have one for GSM enabled.

[Motorola Droid 4] woundtrauma:
Kernel? :)
[Motorola Droid 4] redddog:
Possible dumb question. If there is only one sim card slot in this phone that Moto uses for authentification, where would the GSM sim card go?

Apologize if this is a stupid question.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
LTE operates on a GSM band erm... gsm standard. (The LTE sim card, I believe is just that... a sim card)
[Motorola Droid 4] redddog:
So if a custom kernel can unlock the phone, how would that work with Verizon?
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
I believe you just flash a radio that corresponds to verizon's specific spectrum vs some other carrier's spectrum like, say, at&t.
[Motorola Droid 4] phrir1:
This doesn't unlock the phone. It boots stock kernal, then boots a custom kernal on top of it

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
Try installing adw launcher, it should break the default status of go launcher, I'm not positive if there is a way to disable it other than that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RevenantOne:
You can actually go into the application settings and clear the cache and clear the defaults for HomeCatcher and then do a force stop. Run it again in the app drawer and the next time you click the n button it will ask wich launcher to run again. I made sure I didn't select the default action checkbox this time. Now everytime i hit n, it asks which launcher I want to use. I like it! Quick access to my wonderful root stuff and just as quick access to to an (essentially) stock Nook environment.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Piercing Heavens:
I have read it and did not find anything about pre-requisites. So am I totally safe doing this from a stock 8gb 1.4.2 nook tablet with no prior mods installed?

I understand the risks involved of course.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
If you're just looking to root, then yes, use the method linked in this thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mva1985:
The "N" button

I rooted mine and everything worked fine.

I installed Button Savior and use that when I wanna be in Android tablet mode for going to the home screen and I just leave the Barnes & Noble 'n' as it is so when I press it I can go straight to the B&N look. It's pretty easy.

But this thread has been a great help to me.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] arcon2600:
I followed a very similar procedure and everything worked great the first time, thanks to this board! :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Oryp:
Thanks

I wanted to throw a thanks out to you as well.

I read your post as well as jichuan's post before I even tried anything.

The only issue I have had is the "unknown sources" not staying checked.

Like you, I tried and tried to get it to stick, finally looked away for a bit, and poof! Magically it's checked. Maybe patience is indeed a virtue! However, I can not for the life of me get HomeCatcher to install. I am rooted obviously as I was able to download NT Hidden Settings from the Play store. Any ideas, or did I overlook something?

issue

I'm hoping someone can help me.

I rooted my NT last week (using these tips and tricks) and installed a bunch of stuff on it. And just today I installed the BEATS AUDIO on it and it asked me to reset the device... upon resetting it, it started up like a stock NT and I had to re-register it. Does that mean my device is no longer rooted?

I have an SD card on there and I did a backup using Titanium, but I'm not able to access the apps or get to NT Hidden Settings to download anything. When I navigate the web to the play store I'm able to see that it recognizes some of the apps as installed, but I cannot even download an apk or get anything to download through the play store even though it says a download will begin soon. Also, in the SEARCH option I do not get an option to choose where to search, it's just a general nook search.

I hope this is enough information. I want to try to re-root it but am afraid I might brick it.

PLEASE HELP!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Was your NT running 1.4.2? If so check to see if it's now on 1.4.3 in which case you had an OTA update which un-rooted your tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] apaulcolypse:
still on 1.4.2.

I guess somehow it reset itself and I lost the root. I had to reroot it and use titanium to get most of my files back. So glad I had set up a backup right before I downloaded the app. I ended up deleting the beats installer and just installed Volume+.

I'm still not sure what went wrong.

Hi Guys,

I am using the CDMA android phone and found that the phone is not able to connect the internet via 3G. The problem is that the APN is not set in the phone. However, I have another CDMA phone and there have a files call cdma-carriers-conf.xml under /system/etc. I copy this files to my phone but it seems that it doesn't work. Do anyone know how can I make the system to detect the cdma-carriers-conf.xml rahter than apn-conf.xml?

hey nick, will u be able to fix the issue of deep sleep in miui v4 based on fxp115 kernel..?? battery drain is worse.. is battery drain related to kernel or the rom?? when i see in battery stats, the use of battery for android os is more.. will u help??
[Xperia Play Android Development] Atarii:
Battery drain is kernel related, specifically the wifi drivers. Ideally, we need the source for the latest Sony kernel, to use to have custom kernels, with deep sleep fixed

Can't we use files from this rom on "our" BETA rom? :)

They already will help, when they release the source to the kernel, with ICS

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tismondo:
I have some superfluous folders from long-since-deleted apps in root\sdcard\Android\data\ that i'd like to clean up. one of them is massively large.

I'm on AOKP build 31, rooted, and using an up-to-date copy of Root Explorer (w/ super user) but the delete command fails. Mounting and deleting the folders using Windows makes them disappear from windows, but they don't disappear from root explorer (And the space they were gobbling up doesn't free up in android either)

I have a feeling these folders are resisting deletion while android is running because they're "in use" (even though they shouldn't be, since the apps themselves are long since deleted) Is it possible to mount my sd card to my PC from CWM recovery/bootloader and delete them that way?

Am I doing something dumb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Try rmdir -R /sdcard/*foldername* in terminal emulator
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
You'll find the same folders in /data/media and you should be able to delete them from there...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jackmax32:
I went to buy Galaxy Note today..I watched Youtube videos and though it would fit on my hands.. I saw it n

OMG!! its huge..Doesn't even fit on my pocket..

My friend laughed like hell when I tried to imitate a phone call scenario.. Its was awkward .

The shopkeeper also said its too big .

Then he showed me the Sony Xperia S..

Gosh the screen was awesome..

I check out the Galaxy S2 too..

I liked the WVGA screen of the S2 but its nowhere near Xperia S.

But the viewing angle was really bad on the Xperia S.

N I didn't like the design too..Too much extra space at the bottom. N 10mm thick too..

S2 was thin n comfortable to hold..

What I liked about Xperia S

-720p screen(but viewing angle is so bad)

-NFC tag

-Free standard hdmi cable

- 12 mp camera( i checked it n its awesome)

-PS store

-TV launcher.. Turns HD tv into smart tv.(pretty cool uhh)

What I don't like about Xperia S

-Design

-Capacitive button is not responsive

-CPU n GPU is weaker than S2( according to most techsites)

-Too thick..

Please help me choose...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saeen:
Design of Xperia S is big. It's longer than SII. I didn't used SII for longer time but I am using Xperia S for a month now and I am comfortable with it. Got hanging strip attached with it ;). and capacitive buttons are great now I never got wrong with them. Responsive, accurate. The internal storage is 32GB, you get 25.80GB total. I am running since 12days and its still fast.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jackmax32:
So you think Xperia is better?

You used both so which one do you prefer..??

I am asking myself same question - Sony or Samsung. But this might be wrong forum to ask :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] socialdistortion:

Sony has a better display though IMO. And also feels more premium (albeit a bit too long.)

But you won't go wrong with either of the two ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:

Compare first the firms..

Sony versus Samsung..

Samsung???

Xperia S is the hit.

1. Its Sony

2. Quality

3. Service (way better then Samsung)

4. Screen

5. Design

6. Faster

7. Camera

etc.

Some of my friends has S2, its seriously garbage..

And it also looks like a cheap thing, some sort plastic bumped together.

Ugly device..

My opinion.

I would say, Xperia S ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leminhnguyen0703:
I used my S2 until a week ago, when I handed my friend the phone the moment I walk out of the store with my Xperia S :) I do miss it sometimes, but I believe the Xperia S is the better one out of the 2. The capacitive button take times to get used to, but it's better as I sometimes hit the buttons on the S2 accidently. The CPU and GPU is just fine as Sony optimised it pretty well, not like S2 where I hated the Touchwiz Interface. The thickness helps you, trust me, as I from time to time slips the S2 off my hands as it was too "skinny" :P. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents. I recommend the XS.

P/S: @Efe64 : Mate, try owning and using the phone first, before saying crap about it. Pretty damn fine phone the S2 was.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] olaf63:
I had s2before the xs, my reason to change where:

No notification led, I had to hold the phone always in my hand, like the iphone, no possible to leave it on the table and look from far at it. There are tricks to use button light as notification but this uses the battery.

The battery was not great, at first also this of the xps, now is great.

While angle of vision where good, better than xps, these of the s2 become bluish, so not better

Dimesions wise, the xps is thinner than s2 and this greatly helps hand holding, if i remember there are 2mm more in eight but 2mm less in large for xps. Also rouded back helps hand holding as surface finish.

Wifi, gps, 3g, all much more sensitive in xps.

Music with earbud better for xps.

And last, when I looked at the screen in the shop I was amazed by xps.

Many advantages I discovered after IBought the phone, other may be subjective, the s2 is still a great phone but now I only miss the wery low weight, otherwise if you only watch a 1080p trailer on xps you'll loose all doubt.

Ciao
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sssache:
There is no comparison between S2 Touchwiz and Timescape UI from Sony. It's my first Sony smartphone, but i'm very very happy that i've made this choice... I had Acer Liquid, Galaxy SCL, Nexus S, Htc Desire HD, but not even one can compare in terms of android software with the XPS...It's the most complete and bug free android flavour. You will never believe how good and helpful is the camera button and the fast picture from standby function. It's just amazing how you can take the XPS locked out of your pocket and in 1 second you already have the picture...

Yeah right. Mhm.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] android_master:
you are from this planet only na, r you sure:mad:

Stop spreading rumors:--

Camera faster in S2 compare to Xperia S, multimedia power much much better in S2 than Xperia S, much thinner and clearer sound, you are telling s2 as garbage, hell that's the reason why the thread starter comparing both of them.

Now to that service lie of yours, in India cities like Pune,Mumbai,Delhi hell even remote cities like Dehradun,Nagpur there are around 10 samsung care/service center compare to like 2-3 of sony,,,samsung has the best service care in India{right up there with nokia care}. I am using both these phones and can pretty much guarantee about these things.
