OK...Great thx...

I think I will first do a backup of my rom before rooting.

But did you successful make a backup? I mean, use daldroid's recovery and which version of SPL did you use?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jacky11287:
Hi Joost39, I am new to Android. Maybe it is one of the newbie question.

Can I nand backup my phone before flashing anything?

I read, it requires flashing the recovery, root permission. So is there no way to backup my phone before i got root access?

Thx..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kevin3688:
I uploaded my Taiwan Magic Nandroidbackup(recovery, system & boot), is it possible to make a rooted rom of it?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5FBNJ2BD

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Joost39:
Yes - if you just boot recovery.img instead - then you get the recoverymenu with the option to do aNandroidbackup - pres backup and the backup begins and put it on the SD-card.

Don´t flash the recovery.img - only update the rom afterwards with the update.zip file.

Command from adb/PC:

adb reboot boot daldroid-recovery-new.img (or whatever name your recovery image has)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jacky11287:
Thx, I fastboot boot daldroid-recovery-new.img and successful get into the recovery mode. At there, aNandroidbackup 2.1 is available for backup. I am successful to backup too. Am I now at a point that ready for rooting my HK version Magic with daldroid-htcmagic1-signed.zip rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hkfriends:
can you tell me exactly the steps?

e.g. what is HTC_CIME.apk in /app

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
Hi, through many tests and trials, i found no need to put the files into the system manually...unless HTC_CIME does not work...

here is a download link of HTC_CIME

http://www.4shared.com/file/111084919/7947d185/HTC_CIME.html

For the moment, i suggest TW and HK magic users flash daldroid's roms (english or multilangauge) and install the HTC_CIME to input chinese first
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jacky11287:
Does daldroid's rom now multilanguage? I know you have already flashed daldroid rooted rom, would it be possible for you to post some screenshots on your devices? (If you can, of course, many thx....). I an now at a point to decide whether to flash or not..

BTW, have you tried restore yor original rom?

Thx....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
Sure, I'll post some screenshots later.

BTW, I know some people are still hesitant to try new roms because they worry that they cannot revert it...So I tried to restore it myself using a nandroid backup provided by Kevin3688

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523913&page=2

and I successfully made it...

----

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

-------

Of course, you can also use your own backup by fastbooting with daldroid's recovery image to backup the whole phone (nandroid)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jacky11287:
Nice trial and thx. Looking forward to have your screen-dump.

BTW, I want to try to make a rooted rom based on our HK or TW version magic, any information on this you have already?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
Attached are screenshots of my TW magic (CHT) running dradroid's recovery+system images with HTC_CIME plugged in

The benefit of flashing this rom is to gain root access
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jacky11287:
GREAT THX...Good look on that views.

What application do you use to input shell command on screeshot #4?

So far, do you encounter any problem with the rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hkfriends:
Hi

I am unable to restore my backup???

I made the backup before flashed the daldroid...

but once I try to restore my own backup, it failed

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3937677&postcount=98
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
You probably forgot to adb shell flash_image /sdcard/daldroid-recovery.img after you flashed daldroid's system image

I suggest you go through the entire procedure again (daldroid's recovery+system) before you restore the backup
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Joost39:
Yeah he has to flash the hacked SPL first in order to flash the backup....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hankit:
how do you use ASTRO to copy the file? it always said sth like cannot copy or something like that (for HTC_CIME)

I'm running on ION rom though..which i think it shouldn't create much of a difference

Also just now, I have rename the HTC_CIME to update...however still not sign of the keyboard showing up...

any tips?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hankit:
I have try again, but I don't have the check box..

what should I do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jashsu:
richyyun: When you use pinyin mode, does your CIME give you candidates in Simplified or Traditional? The HTC_CIME I'm currently using is ripped out of Haykuro's Magic build, so it gives back candidates in Simplified, which makes it useless for me.

By the way did you buy your Magic from Chunghwa or from a vendor? I'm thinking about getting a Magic in TW but Chunghwa won't sell them at a subsidized price :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wassss:
like this jpg please with the official htc weather widget
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hankit:
Do you have force close issues when you go side ways? the keyboard will flip but it will just ended with the FORCE CLOSED problem..

If you don't, how do you do it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
If you have root access, you can certainly see system folders and copy files from/into them using ASTRO....

However, I found it not necessary to copy the files included in the HTC_CIME package...All that you need it to install it and it will work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
No, i don't encounter force close issues when i go side ways...

However, it only happens when i launch "toggle settings", which never happened to me on the original rom (Chunghua Telecom ROM)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richyyun:
Please try other versions of HTC_CIME

There are several versions, in sizes ranging from 4mb ~ 7mb

I bought my magic (TW version) from a local vendor...

Yesterday, Chunghwa launched a new promotion program to sell magic at subsidized price

http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=3317&tid=4156925
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jashsu:
Nice! I almost bought a full price Magic at 光華商場 last week, since the clerk at Senao told me 中華 would not be subsidizing Magic for another month or two. Still, right now I am on 中華 850 monthly plan. I don't know if I want to be locked in for 2 years to get a subsidized price on Magic. It's a nice phone, but not a big upgrade from Dream.

Do you have any links to TW version of HTC_CIME? Or perhaps if you are in Taipei maybe you could let me pull it off of your phone? :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hankit:
Do you mind posting the version you use again?:D

I have problem running the version that I'm using on ION rom..

Many thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jashsu:
I extracted HTC_CIME from the rom dump of CHT Magic (posted above). However, pinyin IME is still giving me results back in Simplified. I think HTC_CIME is detecting the locale and using that to decide whether to use Simplified or Traditional. I'm guessing it will only use Traditional if Taiwan locale is specified in system settings.

By the way, do you know if CHT has any stated or soft bandwidth caps? I've burned through 10GByte since starting service three weeks ago. They haven't cut me off yet, but it seems a bit excessive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] msn0005:
How do you overwrite those files? I keep getting "cannot be overwrite" or something.
[Wing, P4350 General] rpope904:
Hey guys,

Quick ?. On my wing, with the stock tmo rom, the battery life is awesome, when I run the herald 6.1 rom, it goes to crap, I have to charge it every day.. Is the 6.5 any better? Or, what would you suggest?
[Wing, P4350 General] live4nothing:
I only used 6.5 for a few days, but from my observation, it's not getting any better in battery life. It may got worse since more cpu intensive. In theory and from my experience, 6.1 and the stock rom should have similar battery life. It might be your rom. Some roms (not to attack the cooks, do get angry at me) may have bugs the kill battery faster than others. So my recommendation is to try another rom. A clean one always best. Another thing to try is to use homescreen++'s dynamic cpu scaling. Could save you some battery to under-clock for non-essential time. Someone says this helps and some says no. So try it and have fun.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ghosty_uk:
I have searched the tforum and not found an answer.

i have installed Miri's 6.5 rom, and cant get a java jar or jad file to work, keeps telling me there is no application set for this file type, so how ccan i rectify this, i have tried downloading the esmertec jbad 20081203.1.2.zip, which im guessing would cure it.

but what do i do after i have tis file on my pc hdd, i have tried coping it to the mem card then extracting it, still no joy.

does anyone know of a java cab file.

if not could someone give me instructions (idiots guide version) on how to get this esmertec one to work.

much thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] D'rath:
Gh! If it is *.zip file you must open it and see what is inside:

1- *.cab file: copy this *.cab on PPC and install it (tap on the file)

2- *.exe file: Sync the device then you must extract the file on PC e 2clicks on it by PC (follow the istructions)

If it is a *.cab see point nr 1)

Thanks dude :D hope it will be useful..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xcforum:
It's a good idea but it should be actualized.

For exemple:

HTC DIAMOND:

Gen.Y D2 R1.1 (6 juny) - TF3D2

That ROM has been actualized 2 times R1.2 and R1.25

Anyway, congratulations for your work!

I've created a file explorer to manage Android devices.

Latest Version: v0.3.1

http://code.google.com/p/adb-file-explorer/

See Google Code page for full details.

Features:

Explore filesystem, push/pull files, mkdir, rm, mv, run shell commands, single/bulk app installer.

Compatible with Android ports (e.g. HTC Vogue).

Plenty more to come.

You will need to place adb.exe in C:\Windows\System32 and have the drivers installed. May take a few seconds to load if ADB is not running.

Please report all bugs on the google code page.

Screenshot (v0.2)

Not to rain on your parade, but you know there's one built into ddms right?

[G1 Apps and Games] makethetick:
No idea about wine, I might test it when I release a more stable version. If you can get IE and office working in wine then I don't see why you can't get this working.
[G1 Apps and Games] corp769:
as far as making a version for linux, i really want to, but i have no experience whatsoever as far as making a graphical interface for linux.... if you can point me in a right direction and a good tutorial or two, i can pick it up in less than a day and work on it. btw, im very skilled with linux and bla bla bla, including programming, but never really wanted to make a graphical front end for anything, and never cared because i am more of a console guy; a graphic version would be nice though :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Binary100100:
You know... maybe I just wasn't using it right... but I could never get it to work on ddms.

so i like this idea gonna try this soon

error: device offlin

i plugged in my phone and ran adb file explorer

i get a message "mounting filesystem as read/write..

next i try to push a file

and i get "permission denied"

i check my phone and under dev tools i enabled adb

i don't what else to do

please help

thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] makethetick:
You'll get the 'error: device offlin' error when the phone isn't plugged in, I haven't got round to handling errors yet.

Try plugging the phone in, going into a command prompt (start > run > cmd) and type 'adb devices' if you phone shows up there then open the program and it should work.

Which file/folder were you pushing to get the permission denied error?

Could try another remount or even closing and reopening the app then remounting.

If you could give the exact steps you took to produce the error that would be great!
[G1 Apps and Games] tetrismonkey:
yes i have gotten the device offline error also

however when i posted this same question on that board they told me that it maybe the android OS port because it uses "cramfs" which i guess is read only

so for the mix-up im only an end user and new to this stuff

Does adb work normally from the command line?

This is tested and working for my G1 device, I wouldn't have a clue about ports for other devices, it might be a bug in your rom.
[G1 Apps and Games] tetrismonkey:
adb works form the command prompt on my PC but it can not find my phone when i type adb devices

iam looking into if it is a bug on the port i use however the developers of the port are the ones that pointed me to your adb file explorer in the first place

thanks for the help i will let you know what i here back.

After finding some time to play around with this I've found a bug which occurs when pushing files to the device, this will be fixed in the next release :D
[G1 Apps and Games] makethetick:
New version out, fixed a few bugs and added a simple app installer. Can install single apk's or bulk install from a directory.

thank you soooo much for this. Makes everything soooo much easier! Great idea keep it up. :D
[G1 Apps and Games] vilord:
Hey, I'm one of the developers for the vogue port, I entered an issue on google code... if you could use "adb shell ls --color=never" instead of "adb shell ls" I think it would work correctly with our devices. I would be happy to test a prelim version to verify...

Thank you!
[G1 Apps and Games] vilord:
gah. double post.
[G1 Apps and Games] makethetick:
Hi,

I have uploaded a test version to the project site, this should also work with 'standard' Android devices.

Please test and let me know the results.
[G1 Apps and Games] vilord:
It seems to work very well, I can get directory listings, push and pull files, and create and delete directories.

The only thing I'm running into is that when I am inside a folder (/sdcard/backup for example), the folder listing shows:

/

| sdcard

| backup

if I then double click on "| sdcard" it says:

ls: /sdcard/backup/ | sdcard: No such file or directory
[G1 Apps and Games] tetrismonkey:
i had the same problem

also on my music folder it only showed m-z and not all the files (a-z) and after i pushed a test.mp3 it didn't show it even with refreshing
[G1 Apps and Games] makethetick:
Yeah I know about this one, I haven't implemented this yet, I didn't have time on the last build. This will be fixed on the next release ;)

As I said in the other topic, I don't know if this is a problem with just the port or with the app so can't do much at the moment.

Do your files display normally with 'adb shell busybox ls' ?

How many files are in that directory?
[G1 Apps and Games] makethetick:
Update released.

Includes a fix for the below comment.

[G1 Apps and Games] sha.goyjo:
You should add "For windows" somewhere in your post. It would be terribly kind of you to acknowledge the fact that about 25 percent of the android devs are familiar with or use linux.

I haven't run a windows box in...

7 years

Not saying that your app isn't useful, just please make sure to make it clear in the title that it is for windows so the rest of us don't waste our time.
[G1 Apps and Games] Morpheus Phreak:
Thank you so much for this app.

I was having one heck of a time getting ADB to work properly on my system until installed this.

It saved a ton of my files that Android for some reason had made disappear from the Windows Mobile side of things. Now that I have them back I'm making a full backup of my SD card and wiping it and starting over...without Android for a while.

Just as an FYI I'm using an HTC Touch (Vogue) from VZW...and this is the only thing that worked for accessing the files.

Installing ADB Drivers in Windows Vista

Thanks for putting this online. Sorry to be a newbie, but how do you install the drivers?

I have put adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll in C:\Windows\System32 on my Vista system. I have extracted the drivers file {android_usb.inf, adroidusb.sys, and WdfCoInstaller01005.dll} to a folder on my desktop. But I can't figure out how to install the drivers. I tried clicking "Install" from the context menu of the .inf file, but Windows said "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation."

I also wondered whether just having the driver files in the same folder as "ADB File Explorer v031.exe" would work. It did not. When I launched the program, I got "Device not found." (I tried it with my HTC Vogue running both WinMo and Android. By the way, which OS is supposed to be running to connect with adb?)
[G1 Apps and Games] hideffer:

ADB File Explorer Device Not Found

Like whytry I too had trouble figuring this out...

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

...so that is where I put the folder, and after reading that adb.exe needs to be in the system32 folder was copying and pasting files from the sdk folder to try getting this file explorer to work, which obviously failed. I decided to try pasting the ADB File Explorer v031.exe to the sdk folder and it worked, so I can now see my device and the file system.

However, I have tried pushing a modded framework-res file but there is no indication that it has completed, and after waiting a minute or so and rebooting my phone, the changes to the status bar (changed colour) haven't changed, so don't know if it's because it's not pushed the file, or if it's because I've not done something correctly when editing the framework-res file.

[G1 Apps and Games] NeoH4x0r:
This app may very well come in handy: when file transferrs over sshdroid timeout.

However, you might want to add the ability to choose the device to connect to (if you have more than one adb device connected: you get message -> 'more than one device connected')

adb -s DEVICE COMMAND

You can also get device properties (if you want to supply a name for the device):

adb -s DEVICE shell getprop

You may be intererested in these device properties:

[dhcp.*.ipaddress]

[ro.product.device]

[ro.product.manufacturer]

[ro.product.model]

[ro.build.characteristics] [i.e. says tablet for acer iconia a500]

EDIT: I now realize that this tool is no longer supported via code.google.com/p/adb-file-explorer/

However, the source is available and maybe it can be improved upon, yet, still.
