I think it is a good idea, though instead of having people ask you all the time you could just point them to the threads of their issues. It is very hard to really brick your kindle because there tons of threads that already address the way to fix your kindle if does get bricked. You should put those links to those threads so you only receive really questions that are unique.

Yes! First you will need to make your SD card a "Goldcard". There is a link in my signature that is a guide for many Marvelc-related things. One is S-OFF.

Once you have a goldcard, put the PG76DIAG files (they're linked to in my guide) on the root of your SD, follow the steps, any you'll be S-OFF.

By the way, S-OFF is one step beyond Bootloader Unlock. (You may have known that, but I'd like to offer the information.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Justice™:
Hi, I've seen a few posts about the Eken T01 around here. And since I've rooted and installed CWM on mine. I thought I'd post a tutorial on how to go about it!

Rooting the Eken T01!

Rooting the deivce is simple, and I mean simple.

You'll need:

An Eken T01 (Of course)

SausageMOD Script

The link to the sausageMOD script is here.

Right, so to root the device you'll need too:

Connect your tablet, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled (And possibly the option which keeps the screen on)

Extract and open the .exe in the Sausagemod/script folder

Press 1, then 2. To check you have your tablet connected and ADB has root access.

Then press option 3. It'll ask you to press any key a few times, so keep watching the terminal

Thats it! You've rooted the Eken T01

Installing Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 on the Eken T01

We'll be using CWM from the scroll extreme. But apparently the novotools version works too!

You'll need to download the script from here and then extract it.

Open it up, make sure your tablet is connected, with USB Debugging enabled.

Press option one, after pressing any key on the first screen of the script

After its finished copying, press any key again to take you back to the menu, then press option 2 to confirm it worked

Press Q if it did work.

Known bugs with this CWM: You need to poke around a bit to enable the back buttton, since the Eken T01 doesn't have a hardware back button, but the scroll does. I'm not sure whether the novotools version does have a working back button or not.

If this tutorial helped. Press the Thanks button. I'll be back soon with more tutorials for the Eken T01.

If you'd like to check out a forum specific to the T01. Check out dragondevs.com. They have one developer working on a modifcation for the stock rom at the moment.

hi

a while back , i read a guide in how to mod H+ to roms , i did it work . i was happy

then i decide to think and change another images that look pale in sense and add some color to the rom . i put all the imgs from other roms that i like in there . they worked too, everything was fine.

then i put the images in the rctweaks.zip i had to flash and kept them . ever since then , the soft keys dont turn on . when they dont turn , the proximity/ auto brightness dont work .

after trying attemps and changing the settings in rc tweaks . i changed roms the keys don't light up anymore

that i rememeber i haven't let the phone drop

if anybody can help thanks . is there anything i can do short of returning the phone to stock , and re- running the ace hack kit again to gain s-off and root
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
First off what rom are you running?

Have you tried a complete wipe of phone when flashing a rom. Or even get the pd98 zip and flash back to rooted stock rom and see if that changes all your experimenting back to default. Always create a back up before you make any changes it would save you this headache.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lateral18:

This is the stock rooted gingerbread rom. If you want to flash it it will bring your phone back to factory setting without losing root. Just place in root of sd then power up into hboot holding power button and volume down at same time and let it do its thing. When ask volume up for yes then reboot when told to. Then flash whichever rom you want. Try using uot kitchen if you want to alter the look of a rom its usually safer. Hope it helps

Hi.

I have issues here.

I would install market and Astro filemanager.

But I got info that they already was installed.

I cannot see them in the Application->Manage applications

It tells me, that " you don't have any third party apps installed".

I had the idea, that the GT540 is rooted, but obvciously not, as I cannot install apk's using the adb command.

Beside this, I also have this:

process com.android.vending issue.

What can I do?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] darko94:
You've missed the forum, this should be in General or Themes and Apps forum.

You haven't stated what ROM are you using.

Are you trying to install Astro via Play Store or from apk on sd card?

com.android.vending is a Google Play Store app, has it updated itself or is still Market?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] aalested:
Sorry for posting a wrong place :-(

I'm not sure what ROM I'm using. It's the dafault one, as it has not been modified, but Don't know. How to see it?.

It's an LG GT540 I use.

Iwould install it from apk on SD card, but due to a reason I don't know, I cannot get adb to work.

It tells me, that device not found.

I have formatted the SD card with FAT32, and now I cannot see the system path.

Bot worth to mention, I'm a newcomer here on Android :D :crying:

[Acer Iconia A500] Anthony820:
I'm running OTA 4.0.3 (Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1) rooted with I don't know what tool, but rooted after upgrading to 4.0.3, and using one of the tools found here which was the latest (at the time of rooting). The tablet has an "A500 Root Tools" app which has options to enter APX mode amongst other things.

I'm unable to get my Acer to connect to my PC via USB. I tried using both a mini(?)-usb cable and an A-A cable. My acer makes no notification, and there's no visible, or audible, evidence that anything was connected. USB Debugging enabled and disabled makes no difference. The tablet shows absolutely no sign that anything was plugged in. Nothing in notifications, nothing in any file managers.

Likewise on both a Windows 7 PC, and a Windows Vista machine. No little sound saying I plugged something in. Nothing listed in device manager. Nothing anywhere. The Win7 machine has the Acer drivers installed, as it is the machine I used to root it a few months ago.

Is there some weird ICS toggle that I need to perform to get this working? I know my USB ports are working as I've plugged in USB sticks and it mounts them without issue.

At the end of the day, I'm just wanting to flash my bootloader so that I can install CWM and a custom ROM. If there's a way to do that without needing my PC connected, that would make me equally happy.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Drivers

Reinstall the Acer Drivers and also the Google drivers from the android sdk if u have that installed, if not use the adb_fast.zip attached. For you to successfully flash the BL do not underestimate the importance of having the drivers correctly installed - its the cause of 90% of the problems folks have had - my advice is to keep Device Manager open the whole time so you can see what is or isn't installing - dont proceed with the flash until you are sure they are - else you'll be looking at a downgrade to HC to fix things

you can also use Acer Recovery Installer from the market to install a custom recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] Anthony820:
While I appreciate your help, my issue is not drivers - Windows isn't loading the wrong drivers, or no drivers at all. Windows is showing no sign at all, at all, in device manger, any where, that a tablet has been plugged in. Like wise, the tablet gives ZERO notifications on being plugged in to a PC. Nothing. No sounds. No notification. Nothing.

I was originally using the micro(?) usb slot, and it was not working. I assumed that USB slot was dead. So I went and bought a USB A-A cable - after testing the normal USB slot and established it works - and it, too, does absolutely nothing when plugging the device into a PC.

I've since tested with an Ubuntu 12.04 machine as well. dmesg lists nothing.

and the adb interface driver thats not showing in device manager?? and you have the acer drivers installed??

All the signs are pointing to no drivers, failing that its sounding like a hardware issue either yr tab or cable - can u try on another pc/laptop?
[Acer Iconia A500] Anthony820:
Tested it on a Win 7 Dell, on a Vista Dell, and on an Ubuntu 12.04 Compaq. None show any sign of the device being connected.

I know my *two* micro USB cords work as my Nooks (color and tablet) have no problem with them. I know the large USB slot works as I've plugged in a keyboard and a USB memory stick and both are immediately detected by android.

I've also done a factory reset on the tab. Problem persists, obviously.

I'm actually setting up stock Win7 on another laptop right now. When it's complete I'll install acer drivers and plug in the tablet. It will be the only USB device, let alone android, to ever be plugged in to it.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
cool let us know how u go....oh dont forget the adb drivers too

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
are you trying to flash something or do you mean when you connect yr tab

windowz explorer doesnt show your int/ext storage??

more info needed, what rom and bootloader, what OS on yr pc can u try on a different one, try a different cable and usb port..

have you run the acer drivers setup.exe

did u install the android usb ones

have u opened a command prompt from the folder where adb.exe is and run "adb devices"...does a number show??

when u have device manager open and connect yr cable do you see the drivers install. If they are there then uninstall them, disconnect yr cable and clean boot and reconnect.

If they do not install then manually install by pointing them to the folder you extracted the zip to...for the acer ones, just point it to your c: drive

If windows trys to install them, stop the hardware wizard from searching windows update and manually install them yourself.

If you've tried to flash the bootloader and it hasnt completed for what ever reason - you can strike issues such as yours - again, uninstall, clean boot, reconnect, manual install

[Acer Iconia A500] JoeyDVDZ:
That's correct, a straight USB "A to A" won't work. Further, I discovered something else; not all micro-usb cables are created equally! I was using a cable that worked fine on my Thunderbolt phone, would not work at all on my A500. Turned out there's some enhancements to the pinouts on the newer micro-usb devices. So the lesson here is go with the cable that came with the device if at all possible.

Seriously though, give a different micro-usb cable a shot; they're pretty cheap around the interwebz.

[Android General] Krain:
Very nice, but I do have a question (and I started programming for Android recently): What do you do when the system reboots while debugging (in my case musb_hdrc.ko)? I tried catlog, but the logs are empty... Is there another way to do that?

Thank you in advance
[Android General] paxChristos:
Use adb instead of an in-android method to capture the logs, you can start when the boot animation starts (note: Not when the kernel splash screen appears) and when it reboots, it'll automatically end. (i.e. run the following in command prompt:

adb logcat *:E > oh_nos_it_crashed.txt

)

If you're not getting to the boot animation (keeps cycling on the Kernel splash screen) then you have kernel issues, and you need a kernel that has integrated last_kmsg (a whole different ball of wax that I'm still learning about) to figure out what's going on. (kmesg's are direct kernel output)

Maybe if someone like AdamOutler ;) ;) (or any other Dev who has a much better handle on them than myself) were to explain them, it'd help :D

Hey man regarding your guide .

I was testing a built of cm9 from my htc one v and it wasnt booting so the dev told me to do a logcat for it .

Just wondering what the process and commands would be?

Thanks.
[Android General] Moscow Desire:
Just a little more info when doing logcat.

Remember, Logcat will run till you end the session. ;) And it won't always create the file till you do so. It's possible you may not see the logfile for a minute or so.

But what if you can't connect ADB to your device? You can do this

(note that the location naming convention may be different depending on device)

Open your terminal app;

Type: logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt (this should create it in internal memory on the tablet)

To send to ext sd card: logcat > /mnt/external_sd/logcat.txt

I use a tablet for example ;) Phones may have a different naming convention.

Nice definition of the display terminology ;)

MD
[Android General] paxChristos:
What you'll wanna do is run the following,

adb logcat *:E > crash.txt

And look at the output file specifically for lines that say 0x0deadbaad (if you see that, that means there's a problem with the Java libraries it references above it) otherwise look for other F/ lines, that'll point you in the right direction.

If you're having issues where and is not accessible for to buy having USB debugging turned off because of doing a /data wipe (factory data reset) first install a similar Rom (in your case, a prior, stable CM9, boot into it, turn on usb debugging, reboot into recovery & only write /cache & dalvik cache before installing the offending Rom & getting your logcat (sorry if I rambled, just got done working a double :( )

Pax
[Android General] paxChristos:
Thanks, MD!

The problem is when you can't access terminal (bootloops, fc'ing like it's going out of style, etc.) that adb is really useful. Sometimes to trick the system into working, you can (esp with AOSP based roms) install a same version of android (I.e. 4.0.4) & not wipe /data (after turning on usb debugging) & still have an access :P (I learned this after spending about 2-3 months crack flashing my own builds & getting tired of titanium restoring all my apps)

[Android General] paxChristos:
Why would you want to do that? :P

To my knowledge, the only way logcat is reset is if you reboot your phone.

That's why filtering your results is very helpful, because no matter how long it's been running, you can get the info that you want without extraneous information :P

[Android General] tdunham:
It depends on the type of error I think.

I see a lot of errors at the beginning of many of my own logcats. None are fatal so I assume that they are just phantom errors generated due to the operating system unable to read certain files or perform certain operations at the very beginning of the boot process so I tend to ignore anything that gets generated at the very beginning of the logcat file.

Edit: I start ADB logcats quite often on reboots so this may not apply to you, just saying in case it applies. ;)
