[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
My first question is: what is Fedora? The top two apps with .bak are backups of your cell receiver. You might want them back.

My second question is: would you help me by using advice and trying to pull everything from your phone? Bootloader, kernel, system and recovery? We need these things in order to get a custom kernel and unlocked bootloader in order to get a custom recovery ported.

I bricked my phone and am awaiting the new phone, as they are on back order.

Fedora is just a free alternative to windows ;]

I'll probably install a virtual windows on this notebook if absolutely necessary..

Sure, i'll be glad to help out...

After the Droid 3 backlight went out (and the time spent testing/transplanting parts from another droid 3) i had to get a phone for daily use. the price on the Concord was right.. Lol

got my Exhibit II 4g battery ordered, so i'll have another backup phone soon too (more time to play with concord) ;]

yeah, so if you can help me get a dump of the system, i can wrap up my FS and get it posted....

just, how can i go about the backup?

btw, sure what 'advise' do you have in mind? are we looking just to make a backup of the entire system? (i'm in search, with little time, but lets keep in contact)

Edit:

the top two apps, cell recievers, i think have something to do with emergency text recieving (amber alerts, weather, etc.)

so far, i haven't had any issues getting calls...

lets talk about getting this thing dumped.. i can put that stuff back in before hand.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
When you see a file with. BAK, it is a backup file. Don't quote me on that but very sure. Get in contact with some one on #TWRP @freenode that might be able to help. I've channel. I am not a dev.

BTW, did you use my tut? If so click thanks to help my rep. I now that you can use the ADB PULL command but I don't know what and where to pull. If we can get your dump then we can get to work on finding someone to help getting things unlocked. The things we need are a bit beyond my scope. Spread this around and get people to show their thanks where rightfully owed.

You can back up partitions via adb or terminal emulator on your device

cat /proc/mtd #This will list the different parts of the filesystem

cat /dev/mtd/mtd10 > /sdcard/boot.img #This will save your filesystem part to an image file

cat /dev/mtd/mtd11 > /sdcard/recovery.img #Here is another example

This is also how I was able to pull apart the the boot.img as well as the recovery to see what was going on and I'm working on some new things that might help with modding our device further

Very Nice!!!

Latest Wireless and Wired Tether programs on code.google.com are working fine on the phone... (couldn't get the stock stuff working without a plan for tether).

I'm already tweaked and rooted, but i'll take a peek at the batch and see how it works ;]

What are our thoughts on a recovery solution?

We should start a thread for [DEV]-Recovery on the device...

Edit:

The only other thing i could suggest you add to the sript, would be to have a dalvik cache cleared after removing all of those system apps...

maybe something like adb shell "su -c 'rm-rf /data/dalvik-cache/*.dex'"

is there a way to clear the /cache from adb too??

anyway, the script looks good, nice work

We need everyone to head over to this thread and ask for them to add a forum for the T-Mobile Concord:

New Device Request Forum

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Don't get me wrong. This seems great! Is there a way that you can lock people out of the NOT SAFE TO REMOVE programs?

For the ones that are unsure of what to do:

Unzip and run runme.bat with phone hooked up to the computer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Contingency™:
Look on xda on how to open and edit boot.img's and you will find your answer.

This i can do. Ill make a modified and improved version with proper credits. If anyone has suggestions on what else to add please shoot me a pm. Also if people would start using #zte-concord [MENTION=3985598]freen[/MENTION]ode we can discuss more in real time as well as offer quick and more one on one for trouble shooting
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
Yes we do need WAY MORE PEOPLE TO HEAD OVER TO FREENODE. It kinda sucks for me cause my phone is on back order. I do not have the phone to help right now and can only help by getting specifics from people like you. Logcat. Easy. I read on here about the ZTE BLADE, that ALL ZTE phone ship with an unlocked boot loader? If this is true then you might be able to compile cwm or TWRP with what you can get from the phone. You need to locate the kernel? And use that.. Im a TOTAL NEWB with this kind of stuff.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Contingency™:
A custom kernel for this device is out of the question unless they release the source which ive asked for from both ZTE and T-Mobile. So only other way would be to find source from another device almost exactly the same. Which i doubt will happen. So all i can think of to do is tear apart what we can, modify it and play trial & error till we achieve what we are aiming for. Which if thats the case then im seeing alot of bricked phones till someone gets it right.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
Do we need a custom kernel to get cwm or TWRP? We can't find the kernel on our phones and use that to compile cwm or TWRP? Our boot loader should be unlocked.

Also, I have read on here, many places, that they have to hand over the source code by law?

Sent from my LIQUIDMOOTH Speed T989
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Contingency™:
No the source is already compiled thats what our kerne is. Its compiled source. No way to get it off. Now the recovery partition is in its own area. I have already extracted it and opened it up so i might be able to get cwm working (MAYBE). I have already threatened then with GPL and a few others but still no luck. Next step would be to start a petition.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fathertomany:
This, kind of, makes no sense to me. How do other devs get the code to compile their own kernels? You might want to ask around on #TWRP [MENTION=3985598]freen[/MENTION]ode.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Contingency™:
Bigger companies usually release it on there own as they should. But companies like ZTE like to be lazy or choose not to do so. Ive worked with TWRP devs. I know Dees_Troy which is the head developer for the twrp project. I was the first to create a kernel with twrp for the Samsung Galaxy S2

Internal memory

This stuff is really helpful, you guys.

I've rooted my Concord, installed Link2SD and set it to install everything to the microSD card, and I also removed some of these unnecessary items like the boot animation, etc. Initially, it's great. But then, as I install apps, the internal memory fills up anyway. According to the settings and Link2SD, the apps are all installed to the SD card. I've tried installing apps exclusively from the Amazon App Store (again, only to the SD card) but the internal memory still fills up. I've restored to factory settings twice, thinking I hadn't got the settings right at first, but it keeps happening.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Any ideas how to avoid it?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyberianrazr54:
which one is better for battery saving?

tasker seem to have more option/variety but too many option/variety can be a problem sometimes. and there alot more you can do with tasker so that a bonus

juicedefender is mainly for battery saving but the options can get quite confusing.

any good tasker profile for battery saving? or what do you use your tasker for?

any good setup for juicedefender?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KingKostas:
in all honesty, juice defender is not needed. tasker on the other hand i dont think you need to use for battery savings. if you're on a custom rom and you dont like the battery life, flash a new kernel. i did that and since then i've not used juice defender since its not needed and battery is great (leankernel 5.4 on liquidsmooth v2.2 4.2.2) :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
JuiceDefender doesn't even work on the new JB builds. Even when it was working, it was mediocre on a good day.

Tasker, on the other hand, is an amazing application. But don't bother with trying to save battery with it, though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
I'm pretty sure die hard battery savers don't use "battery saving" apps. The only apps they'll really use are kernel and voltage controllers. Even then, there's a list of other factors that contribute to battery, from screen brightness, use, having dark themes, and other stuff. Additionally, being in an area with GOOD coverage will save you battery as well.

Things like juice defender as far as I'm concerned are pointless gimmicks, like virus scanners and such.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyberianrazr54:
would underclocking or undervolting help? and how to go about it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Don't bother with that either. If you are having battery problems get BetterBatteryStats from the party store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gonzalo8642:
Honestly if you want more battery the buy an extended battery or the same size battery with more capacity than the stock 2100 mAh
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bulletbling:
Same size battery?

You cannot get more capacity out of the same size for it to be noticeable...The only time it would ever be 1% more is if the China after market batteries had thinner battery walls of which would be likely unsafe for that extra few mAh in capacity...so even China doesnt do it (they dont care about your capacity). OEM is the max capacity you can have for a stock size. JD does help if you configure it right using the advanced settings. Also, it only helps you when your phone is off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sparkie6point0:
Battery savers never worked for me. But there is one app called GREENIFY (it's a root app) which hibernates the apps that normally would run in the background and saves me TONS of battery power! Best battery saving app I've ever used. Well worth the investment!

I've been rooted on my AT&T One X for some time (it's the most reliable way to get tethering). I've been doing this to my Android phones for some time, and while I've dabbled with ROMs on my old Galaxy I've been comfortable with rooting on all of them to get some perks like tethering.

So now I have a phone with Android 4.0.4, BL-Unlock, SuperCID, and root. It works great, I love it except that now I'm getting constant reminders that an OTA is available; it's annoying and I can't stand it. My plan at this point was to gain S-Off and open up all my options (either going back to straight stock or flashing a ROM).

Unfortunately, the facepalm S-Off isn't working for me. All the steps complete as they are supposed to as far as I can tell but every time I get back to the bootloader, "S-ON" is staring back at me. I've made sure to grant SU permissions for the last command but I've gone through it several times now and nothing. I have no idea what isn't working; anyone have any ideas?

Then reboot and keep trying. Until you get error 92. I've seen it take some people quite a few tries. You can also try changing you're cid to 22222222, sometimes the change in cid gets it working.

Weird situation that makes little sense. When I connect my GP to my PC nothing shows in Odin.

1. Windows detects the device

2. I can transfer files if I connect as storage

3. I can flash using Heimdall

4. The cable is known good

5. The USB port seems legit

6. I have USB debugging turned on

7. GP is rooted

8. Odin ver. 1.85

I know I have to have done something stupid. The device itself is fine and in perfect working order other than Odin not being able to see it. The searches I have done usually point to bad cables or USB ports. I can keep trying different ports but I only have one cable(the original) and it has worked without issue ever since I cracked open the retail package.

Anyway, it's not a huge issue(again, the device is fine). It just struck me as weird. I'll keep trying new USB ports and maybe another PC then report back. If you have any ideas what could have caused this, I'm all ears.
