Hey all,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I had an idea a few weeks ago and decided to see if anyone would be interested in making this a reality.

Basically, I've been giving away free help to locals who are having issues with their android-based phones. Mostly it's factory resetting or telling people they can't use their Verizon phone on AT&T. But they really appreciate it because its a human interaction. I feel like one of those Mac geniuses (except I'm not trying to sell anything, my help is free, and I would like to think I know a little more about my product).

So the goal is to offer free tech support locally to anyone who buys an android phone. The idea being to compete with apple care, but make it a free service. I know a lot of you know a lot more than me about android, and there are times when I could use some help.

If anyone's interested in joining some sort of group dedicated to helping people with android locally, let me know! Hoping I'm not the only person who wants to help out the noobs :)

Thanks!

Ben

Ps - The way I started this was posting an ad on my local craigslist offering free tech support to anyone who owned an android. Gotten about 5 hits in the past week and I'm in a very rural area.
[Android General] xxBrun0xx:
Bump. 157 views and no replies at all? Any thoughts at all about this idea?
[Android General] madquack:
What happens when you hard brick their phone?
[Android General] xxBrun0xx:
You fix it lol. I've done it. Just have to read before you jump into anything, all the info is out there (thanks I'm no small part to this site).

Also, update: just got our second member! Woo :D Think I'm going to organize this via Google + for now.
[Android General] xxBrun0xx:
Bump. Decided to try to run this through google+. Maybe that weird social network will end up being useful after all :P
[Android General] pizz0wn3d:
Not always possible. What happens when you accidentally pull the cord out of the phone while flashing bootloaders (say, when upgrading a cappy to ICS). Or do you not mean that kind of help?

Herp derp Captivate Tapatalk 2
[Android General] xxBrun0xx:
Ooh no, I do mean that kind of help. While I've never played with the captivate, I would imagine either be ready to fastboot or (easier) be really careful with other peoples' phones.

I think I've decided to scrap this project. While I have started to get a few locals interested recently, they really don't know enough to be useful without a lot of help, and after working full time, I just don't have enough energy for this. If someone else wants to take over the lead on this, I'd be happy to help, but I just can't take on this much extra responsibility right now.

And let's be honest, we've already got Android geniuses: our devs right here.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
I'm just starting to learn how to do all this...

I have CWM 5.8.4.0 installed, UCLD2 and Superuser 3.0.7

I've lost root access and can't figure out how to get it back. I've been searching the forum but can't quite seem to find what I need. I went through the process for rooting and no good result. I thought maybe I should just do a recovery back to 2.3.6 in CWM and it says the MD5 mismatch. I thought I had a solid backup for my original phone all this time. I restored it once through ROM manager and it worked great. I did a factory reset and went through the rooting process again and still nothing.

What my goal is, is to flash to a ROM that people are liking and that performs well. Was going to try SKYICS 4.2E, but I don't think I should attempt anything until I figure out how to go to a backup consistently. I could back up what I have now, which gives me a working phone, but I don't really like it. Most of my apps don't work correctly on it. What I really don't want to do is go forward again and really have it jacked up and not be able to go to a previous backup.

Where should I start? I'm guessing getting root access again. I'm assuming I won't be able to flash another ROM until I get this.

Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 32dave:
I was having that problem too, I used this script "su_ics_v3.1_updated_wraithdu_installer" also install and run busybox if you haven't already or just flash an insecure kernel (make sure its right for your rom)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
Okay funny guy... What was my first line again??? lol

I don't even know how to get back to stock. I can do that even if I don't have root access? I'm just trying to learn the mechanics of all this. Learn what does what... CWM is a means to write to the phone from boot. Can install different ROMs and parts of ROMS, ie. lock screens... Then there's kernels that operate the hardware that have to be compatible with the ROM. People talk about way more than I can comprehend at this point; it's one step at a time for learning.

So---first step is what? Read for hours? I don't understand what I'm reading. haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
What was the very first line in my post? lol

I'm not a programmer, but have taken some Java classes.

I don't know how to use scripts at all. In my mind, I can't do anything until I get root access. I'm not sure what the MD5 mismatch means either. I'm definitely reading things, but it seems that either I'm not understanding or that it's a tangent and not really related to what I'm trying to do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You don't need root access. All you need is cwm to flash roms, kernels and radios
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
I'm starting to figure that out. This stuff isn't very simple. It seems like it is, but for some reason it's just not. It's like a tractor pull. The more I learn the harder it gets to learn more because the crap gets too deep!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
read the n00b posts and stickies, its really not that hard, all roms r rooted..meaning u dont have to root, u can do root ur self for stock firmware, the hard part(not really hard) is flashing cwm(clockworkmod recovery) via odin, once u do that flash a rom according to the rom u want to use, read this on howto root and flash cwm using odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526

to go back to stock is very easy also via odin, read this link on howto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1652398

once u find a rom read all about that rom on how to flash it and any trouble shooting

clockworkmod recovery replaces the stock recovery so u can do wonderful things to our phones, it's this application that installs(flashes) the roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
Thanks for the info... I installed another ROM that I liked better, SKYICS without the root. I wanted to tweek something else and I cannot do it unless I get root access. Using Odin is pretty easy like you said and CW recovery. The first link you posted is the one I originally followed and it was rooted. I went through the process again and no root. Titanium just says sorry I don't have permission. I did a factory reset and tried to root again and nothing. I'm not sure where to go from here to get the root back....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
If you flash a custom ROM they are already rooted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
I don't have root access. I did have it, but lost it when I installed ICS 4.0.4.

Titanium is saying it can't do anything... I just checked and now it's working. I didn't change anything. That's weird. It asked me for permission and is now in the superuser list. I couldn't get anything to do that for a few days. I'll just have to say Okay and move on. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
thats why i said when u use a rom "once u find a rom read all about that rom on how to flash it and any trouble shooting", its usually a bad flash, if reflashing doesnt work then redownload the rom and again and flash

u could of flashed superuser, but the problem was the rom didnt install properly......good u got it solved
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
Can you be more specific on rooting 4.0.4? I didn't like SKY ICS and installed Embryo. It's much faster than the other, but now I don't have root again. I don't know how I got root access to SKY ICS, because when I asked I didn't have root, but 2 days later I suddenly had the access and did nothing.

I'm browsing around trying to find how people root 4.0.4...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
I used the 1st 3 steps for my ULCE2 [GUIDE]{ROOT}How To Root The ICS Leak
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
That's exactly what I did and it's not working. I'm using CWM touch and tried 2 different superuser files I've found and nothing. BusyBox won't install because it says it doesn't have permission and I can't mount the drive in the phone with a file explorer because it's not rooted.

I read somewhere that I may need to install an "insecure kernel", or maybe a ROM that is already rooted? I can't figure those things out....

I've even started all over and flashed the UCLE2 again, cleared all data. then installed Embryo, CWM then superuser. No luck. I'm at a loss here.

Update: I have tried these superuser files.

Superuser, Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed. The last one gave me root access for 4.0.4. I'll attach the file for others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
This superuser zip gave root access where other versions did not for 4.0.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
(See below)

...which is why we're focused on the one method with its 3 or 4 steps we linked. [Confession] My bad, I forgot to mention as is often covered in the threads - CWM flashing the zip took me a few (4) retries. I only backed up as far as 'select update from sdcard' for each retry, all within the same recovery session. Maybe this will help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
It wasn't the steps ther were wrong. It was superuser that was wrong. I tried and tried with 2 different ones and nothing. Then I found another version that worked on the first attempt. The versions I tried first worked on 2.3.5, but not on 4.0.4.

I'm attaching the one I found that worked the first time. I tried the others about 20 times each and nothing, but they worked before. I haven't read anywhere that there are different versions of superuser that only root certain builds. I found it out the hard way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jyazzie110:
If i can remember "SOME" superuser zips need to be flashed a few times before they flash successfully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CodeRedDewd:
Thanks. I have read that, and that it works sometimes when it says it fails. The problem was that there are a few versions of superuser. I had two that worked on previous versions of android, like 2.3.6, but they won't work on 4.0.4. I found a different one named. "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed" that worked first time. I tried the others more than enough. They don't work on 4.0.4. It's funny no one has mentioned this before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
Let's be clear.

I am glad you reached this goal CodeRed. Enjoy!

Yes, but there was only one version in the [GUIDE]{ROOT}How To Root The ICS Leak.

I had the older zip too, but it was all properly instructed in our [Dev] thread. Copperhed posted 'This will root 2.3.5 or 2.3.6' for an earlier Superuser.zip last November, linked in InSaiyanone's excellent all-in-one guide.

Needing to root 4.0.4 would lead us to the next stickie, where projeqht linked

Starskyrob's 'Step 2: Flash Attached zip from recovery.' in his [GUIDE]{ROOT}How To Root The ICS Leak, posted March 28th, referring to the zip you and I succeeded with. I think anyone reading the stickies should find the same guidance.

Hi there.

Wifi is usually controlled by the Kernel rather than the Radio, which controls Mobile data/Communications.

I would look/ask in your Rom's thread for the best option and/or advice.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
So I rooted my Evo successfully as well as the Evo of one of my good friends. However, a second friend of mine wanted his new Evo rooted so I naturally obliged. However, his phone repeatedly gave me the finger when I tried to root it. Here is what happened:

1. Executed root script via THIS METHOD

2. Script began rooting.

3. Script entered first phone restart phase.

4. Script entered second phone restart phase.

5. When phone turned back on my laptop no longer recognized he device (i.e. Android 1.0 in Device Manager) and so the script could not continue its process.

My attempted solutions:

1. Reset to factory settings and reattempt to root. (Failed)

2. Reset to factory settings and attempted to root using RegawMOD (Failed)

3. Did not try to RUU as I did not have the RUU necessary for his device.

My question here is this....if I RUU his device and reattempt the root is it likely that I will encounter the same issue as I did initially? I do not know whether this was an issue of the rooting process or an issue with the drivers on my laptop. My powers of deduction tell me it is based within the phone since immediately after his phone was unrecognized I was able to plug my phone in, as well as my other friend's Evo, and have my laptop recognize both devices instantly.

Cliff Notes:

My Evo: Rooted Successfully

Friend #1's Evo: Rooted Successfully

Friend #2's Evo: Root Unsuccessful
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bhint15:
Personally I would just HTCDev unlock his phone and flash TWRP...then download whatever rom (even the rooted stock if he wants to stay 100% stock) and flash it. Best way to root imho. Hasn't failed me yet!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
I would try re updating the htc drivers for your pc
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
RagawMOD root uses the htcDev method. It failed as I stated in the original post.

I updated my drivers like 10 times. Plus, like I said, my phone a well as my other friend's phone works just fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thicklizard:
If you have the most up to date drivers in device manager it will show "my htc" not android 1.0.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Interesting. It definitely sounds like Drivers. The quote below me is right on. I was having this problem as well. The only thing I can think of is that you have a couple sets of drivers on your computer. When you go to update it updates with the old drivers (don't know why). I had this issue with my Kindle Fire.

Have you tried to update the drivers by manually selecting where to find the drivers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
I guess I should've added that to the OP. Part of my fix prices was also to completely uninstall all HTC drivers and reinstall them. I used the drivers from PDANet since those were the only ones that managed to work correctly. All of the others wouldn't install correctly.

I cannot find native SIP client. Anybody knows where to find on the phone?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Use Anycut from Google Play. Run and do a New Activity. Find SIP in the list.

It'll create a shortcut to SIP, then you can run. As it's not implemented by defauilt in your system it may not work, but worth you try it.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] m3ta:
In proper, full ICS releases (like on the GNexus for example) SIP Accounts are available on the Phone native app.

On the Razor, there is no such thing working yet. Either leaks are not fully final, or Motorola is being retarded, so you have to use 3rd party apps.

[Android General] MikeyMike01:

[Android General] MiniDolan:
No this is a project built from Apple's darwin os and runs on top of a Linux kernel. Miui is just a modified Android ROM. This has nothing to do with Android, apart from the fact that there's a chance that roms will be available based upon this.

I think it would be amazing to see this running. I doubt most people would use it everyday. I mean, we buy Android phones for a reason right? But it would be fun to test.
[Android General] Lesicnik1:
This will probably not be much like iOS in terms of UI design.

Sure it'll be the same when it comes to the kernel and other low-level stuff, but they probably won't venture into the suefield and go full on UI clone

Well lets hope that somebody does go on to make the full UI clone. If they can produce the low-level things then why not?

True about the suefield, but it normally doesn't stop people.
[Android General] nerfman100:
What does this actually have to do with Android? There's no mention of being Android-based. This belongs more on iPhone-developers.
[Android General] MiniDolan:
People with iPhones already have the iOS experience. They wouldnt need a clone. But some of us Android users might be interested to know that a port may be coming out on other hardware.
[Android General] Tomaxda:
Sounds like it would be an enormous undertaking without much benefit.

We already have an open-source mobile OS, and it has the flexibility to be modified to imitate other OS's - the WP7 theme/interface for Android looks pretty good.

If people really want something like iOS on non-Apple phones then it is probably best to follow a similar approach: modify Android rather then build a whole new mobile OS.

It is not based on android, however the libs are being hacked to support android devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kroovy:
Hey Everyone,

Not sure if I should be asking here so let me know if I should go somewhere else. Here is my situation: I currently have a ATT GS2 (NOT skyrocket 4g) which I used my upgrade for about 6 months ago, but now I want the One X. I am on a family plan and I am grandfathered to unlimited data. Now, my sister is eligible for an upgrade and she wants a GS2, so I was thinking of using her upgrade to get the One X and we can just swap phones, win win right? Now the part I am confused about is would I get to keep my unlimited data since the One X is a 4G phone? Would the unlimited data be 4G speeds if I did get to keep it? Would she be able to downgrade to the cheaper non 4g data plan after the switch? It is all very confusing to me and any clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
And no difference in price for LTE, either. Just make sure they do it right, especially if done in store. If they mess it up and put you on a tiered plan, its very difficult to switch back.
