I'll second that motion. The barrier to an official release being dependent on the graphics of a button on the front of the phone, is assanine to say the least. Remap the "home" button to be "start", and problem solved except for the graphics of the windows flag.

Does anyone know the name of any software (free if poss) that can change my mac address of the wifi card in the kaiser.

Please don't post back saying it cant be done because its hard coded to the device, i know... but you can software spoof it, i do it on my desktop and my laptop :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
well your desktop isn't a phone dude and it doesn't run the same software, so maybe no is the answer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] assangflexx:
Mac adress is branded in the Hardware. So you can't change the Mac Adress. There is an option for Windows (Desktops) that has an software change for Mac Adress. But you well never be able to change the Mac Address on the hardware itself

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GenghisKhan:
When you hard reset your diamond, does it remove everything from the phone including the 'internal storage'? Or does the internal storage act like a memory card, and it only removes stuff from 'my device'?

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] qmt49:
It only wipes Device, not Internal Storage. You are exactly right, Internal Storage is like an external memory card.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
Anyone have or know where I can download the telnetd binary for Android? I think I might have a way to get root privileges on the Samsung Moment...and if it works, I see no reason why it wouldn't work on the Hero.

Just need that darn telnetd binary and any of the support files so I can install it into my phone (as long as the root exploit works.) It's running Android 1.5 btw if that makes a difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Why not ssh?

Download dropbear

telnet is an open invitation to get hacked, since the connection is not encrypted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
I know telnet is not encrypted...that's why I'll turn off the radio and enable wifi when I do this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gargarxp:
I was on the IRC (#android-root on freenode) and was pointed in the direction of JesusFreke's build environment, in which (s)he has built a veritable ****-ton of ARM binaries that are *extremely* useful.

http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/

I found JFV1.51 CRB43 US BuildEnvironment (1324) to be particularly useful. Once extracted, I found binaries for a very full busybox, and a few dozen other useful goodies, including telnetd.

From the extracted tar, the binaries are under 'Build/System/ModifiedFiles/xbin'. adb push them to /data/local on the device, then call them via adb shell.

Example:

With device connected, and with the Android SDK installed and in your PATH:

# tar xvf JFv1.51_CRB43-US_BuildEnvironment.tar.gz
# cd Build/System/ModifiedFiles/xbin
# adb push <program of your choice> /data/local
# adb shell
# /data/local/<program of your choice>

Just out of curiosity...what is your hunch for getting root on the Moment?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
@gargarxp - Thanks for the info!

I was looking through all of the recent kernel privilege level escalation reports, and ran across this one:

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Nov/105

It works on kernels up to 2.6.31...which the Moment runs 2.6.27. My plan is to use an Android app to execute this exploit contained in a native executable (which I have confirmed I can execute native code), which will then trigger a shell script I will write to copy the telnetd files into the proper places and start the service as root. From there, I'll telnet in...see if the root user has a password...and go from there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gargarxp:
Actually, if you get this to execute as root, the procedure from there is fairly simple.

From my understanding, the other root exploits have a singular goal: to gain a root shell for the purpose of creating a suid su for the system to use to gain root in the future. From the CDMA Hero process, once a root shell is gained:

# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs [COLOR="Red"]/dev/stl5[/COLOR] /system
# cd /system/bin
# cat sh > su
# chmod 4775 su

They:

Remount the /system fs as read-write

Go to the /system/bin directory

Copy sh to (a new) su

Set the permissions on that to 4 (SetUID) 775 (User-Group: RWX, Other: RX)

* The bit in red is what I observed the device mounted to /system to be on my Moment. I obtained this information by running adb shell mount and seeing what /dev device was next to /system. Should be the same for every Moment, but the procedure is useful for any Android (or Linux for that matter) device.

Once this is done, any user executing this su will do so as the user/group that the owns executable, which in this case is root:shell.

So, via this method, if you can manage to get a root shell on *any* Android device, bada bing bada boom: rooted.

...At least that is my understanding of it all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
Well...the problem is I can't get my Moment connected to my computer to run adb. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit...and the drivers won't load...and Samsung's PC Studio won't install properly. So, I found source code online for executing native code via an Android app...which should work to execute the native exploit.

And you'll have to excuse me...I've been using Linux for the past 10 years...programmed some projects on the platform...but this is pretty much my first time developing on Android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gargarxp:
Oh no problem at all. Frankly, I'm being overtly descriptive so as to make this post useful to the community in general and not be Moment-specific. I don't wish to encouter the ire of the XDA mods ;) Just trying to do a public service.

So, do you have an ARM binary of the exploit built already (ImpelDown.c)? And if so, could you post a link to download it? I've never cross-compiled before and am currently going 10 rounds with gcc and the android-2.6.27 source tree.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
Thank you! I know...it's kinda risky for me posting stuff about the Moment in an XDA forum...but I figure this could help the Hero efforts as well...and XDA was so good to me back when I was using my DIAM500...I wanted to contribute something back.

I'm still trying to get my cross-compiler built. I initially started out with Cygwin and a tool for building a cross-compiler...but that went horribly wrong...tons of compiler errors. I attempted to use Scratchbox on OpenSuse 11.2...but Scratchbox wants to run on a Debian system...ugh...haha.

And as I was typing my response to you...I decided to Google for "arm compiler windows" and found http://www.gnuarm.com/

But rest assured...once there's a working binary...I'll upload it here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gargarxp:
From the Gnash project's dev wiki....

http://wiki.gnashdev.org/Building_for_Android

They raise some issues with using a standard cross-compiler (GNUARM uses Newlib, which isn't the Android libc implementation Bionic...which is apparently a problem)

I grabbed the toolchain they link to on the page and am trying that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
Yeah...I found that out as well after I installed gnuarm... :)

I also just loaded the native toolkit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] computerguru:
Well gargarxp...I compiled it...ran it...didn't work. I'm going to try another one tomorrow.

[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Bienvenido al foro

Any 6.5 or 6.5.1 ROM will eat more battery and RAM than a 6.1, it´s more resources hungry, I´m using Energys latest 23081 photon and my battery last me 36hr aprox.

Also the radio has to do with battery consumption. The best way is to test several combiantions of ROM and radio till you get the best for you.

On my opinion Energy´s ROM´s are very good.

Have a look here to change your languaje to spanish on manila only:

English ROM

Please do not listen to these people. This phone is strongly supported although not officially. I personal bought everyone in my family this phone as it is of high quality and faster than the original.

The following link is WM6.5 English with wheel working and stable for HTY T4242+

http://rapidshare.com/files/332889532/SMART.UPR.html

Plus I recommend the following website for any software you may need.

http://forum.ppcwarez.org/
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] Blubster:
This phone may be supported somewhere, but not here. We talk about htc devices, and clones are like Palm/Motorola/LG, they share nothing with HTC devices, except the look. They require specific software (for cooking), and specific methods (soft reset, flashing, hard reset...). How can we help people if we are supporting devices regardless of if they are originals or clones? Even worse, there are even different clones of the same device (T4242+, T4288...), and roms are incompatible between them!

AFAIK, information about clones here are only for the people who buy these clones instead of the original, thinking they are buying the original...

Clones may be good if you know what you are buying, but people buying clones thinking they are buying originals ARE ripped off, nothing else. This is illegal for that reason, selling someone something as being something else. Remove the HTC branding in the announcement (on ebay for instance...), i am ok with it. But i spotted several listings for "HTC T4242" which were instead for "HTY T4242+" or "T4288". This is not good.

And please don't say it is faster. Processor is not everything you know... Clones have half the ram, half the rom...

And finally, what will happen if you have an issue with it? When you buy a device, you also buy support. Buy clones without support (THIS is support, when your device break, you can make it repaired) if you want, but don't advise people to do the same without giving them all the information.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] jaygreene24:
T4242 quality

Look, the argument can go either way. I have personally had this phone for months and purchased many for family and also recommend them. To answer your question, they are not the same. This one has a faster more expensive processor for half the price and I have found that they perform faster. The quality is great. As far as support, there is a community to offer ROM's and warez sites for any software including GPS. As for warranty, cell phones have a life of about 2-3yrs tops. These phones are half the price and perform perfectly. So if you are worried, buy a second one as a back up and you will still be ahead of the original.

FYI: The batteries are exactly the same, so is the charger, and casing so all accessories will work except audio related headphones etc. They actually ship with 2 batteries and 2 stylus's and wall charger and decent headphones. Batteries are $5USD with shipping on eBay and so is the charger. Buy a bluetooth headset and forget about the plug in.

Please understand that there are people on this forum who paid good money, over double for a device which does not have the same specs, ships with half the accessories (batteries) and paid for twice the price. I would be bitter too. These phones are made by Hantel, which is part of a large cellphone manufacture CECT. I have purchased thier phone for 3 years and no problem. I have owned P168, Daxian x999+, HTY Q5 and all high quality.

This one is the best bang for your buck in my opinion.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] torrentonly:
jaygreene24: Clones might be good, but they still are and will be clones and have nothing in common with original. Just deal with it. But do not ask, how it is possible that kitchens, SPLs and so on are not working for them... Btw. You really think that your clone is faster than mine custom cooked original? I don't think so...

Now - I'm vaguely aware of how to do this sd card flashing business but can someone fill me in? I've figured out how to access the usb update mode but nothing beyond that. Failing that, a hardware hard reset would also be great if I could get the button combination - if there is one lol

I love startup Animation. I found a few around here on the forum and from some other forums as well.

Here are 2 of my favorites. Both of them are originally not my work, but I have cleaned up both the cabs and edited the HTC bootup one to suit the Rhodium specs along with some audio editing work.

1) HTC Bootup

2) Windows 7 Startup

I will be adding more Startup Animation here as and when I get more. Stay Tuned!

Notes

1) These can be uninstalled. So no fear!

2) Always make sure you uninstall an existing Startup Animation CAB before installing a new one. This is how it should go... a. uninstall the cab, b. reboot, c. install the new cab

3) The CABs have no registry entries because these entries are already present in your registry. However, just in case installing the CABs doesn't do anything for you, install the REG file attached.

Nice

Installing the first one.

Can't wait to see how it looks. Thanks for posting these man. I'll eagerly await more.

EDIT: Works great. But it goes from the first one, the Qualcomm to the Windows 7 one. Is it supposed to do that? If so, cool.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] leepriestenator:
Well not exactly,

The way this works is...

First there is the animation which is about 13 seconds and then there is a static image which is displayed for a few seconds (also known as the carrier image).

The HTC bootup CAB, plays a computer's BIOS animation and then shows you a static image of the windows 7 logo which gives it the appearance of booting into Windows 7.

The other one (Windows 7 CAB) plays the full Windows 7 bootup animation just like on your desktop computer. You know, the 4 colored dots becoming the Windows logo.

Now just to make a cool start up sound, hate the att warhawk thing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] leepriestenator:
I thought about that. Why have it say N/A? Instead, I thought I'll have it report something else that's actually present on our devices. Nothing negative about our Rhodiums :cool:

Suggestions?

This is what I have in mind...

For the CDMA version

1) change the radio info (2G and 3G)

2) Replace the CAM info with something else... possibly the 3.5mm stereo jack. It was present in the original animation that I got.

For the T-MO GSM version

1) Change the 3G freq. info

2) CAM to something else... possibly split the BT and WiFi adapters.

What about AT&T... does it have the front cam?

The HTC annimoation doesn't seem to work the way its supposed to on the 21864 Build, NOV8 release of NRGz Photon ROM. Any of you have that problem? Essentialy what happens is, when the HTC POST animation is playing, there is a moment somewhere around the 3rd to the 6th second into the animation, where the static image (Win7 Logo) shows up for a second and then disappears.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] m4xx0rz:
None of the US GSM ones have 3.5mm jacks either... Uh...

Trying to think of something else...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] m4xx0rz:
Uh... I guess you could maybe do something about the batter... it's capacity, maybe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] leepriestenator:

Edited the post. How about splitting the WiFi and BT adapters? Battery seems like a good idea.

Splitting Bluetooth and WiFi would probably be the best bet. Best I can think of, at least.
