i don't really no anything about any of this root stuff but i no i want it cus i can't stand leak 3 so if anybody needs me to test just send me a PM with instructions and i'll do it. I'm willing to pretty much try anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Is adata the only 3rd party brand you are looking for?

I know I have a couple of different 3rd party brand cards. I will look for an adata, but may have others to try as well if needed. I know I have a couple of Dane Electronics cards. I will see what I can dig up when I get home after work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
I'll venture out on a limb and say "no". Did something happen for someone using an Adata brand card ? Hmmm... Also, given today's production setups, an Adata SD card may be identical to a brand "x" card, a brand "y" card, and a brand "z" card. Just different names printed on them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
As i said to Acidbath back before the rooted ROM was leaked, keeping people in the dark is not productive and adds nothing to the effort.

A simple yes or no would be more then sufficient.

The questions will come regardless of any posts or non posts on the subject.

Regards
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I'd be more than willing to bet that whatever stock card the Eris has is identical to and Adata card. This might just be a coincidence with the Increds that have been rooted.

As in you agree or you dont?
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
While you are more than likely right that the cards would be almost identical, if not identical. From what I have read about the DI being rooted, it is more about timing than anything else. I would bet that the devs are hoping to gain some sort of timing advantage with a specific manufacturer. There could be a very slight delay in mounting with a lesser brand, not trying to bash adata, that could give the timing advantage. Just my two cents...
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
I have no idea if this is helpful or not, but I am using a SanDisk 8GB MicroSD HC card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I would have to agree. However i wasnt aware that adata was a lesser brand compared to the stock cards.
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
I didn't mean lesser brand as a knock on adata. I really meant that it was a smaller manufacturer than say SanDisk or Kingston.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I know what you mean, but i wasn't sure if it was slower than the majority, thus causing us to be able to use the adb hack.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fox_dye:
I just want to say thanks to everyone that is working on this. I would pitch in and do some testing but seeing as this is my only phone right now I can't afford to brick it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
And what I said earlier applies, Adata, Kingston, and Sandisk may all be the exact same card.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
All talk of cards and brands aside. Can anyone on any version of the leak confirm that adb is actually running while booted into recovery?

anyone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
you don't need to brick it to help. If you run Linux then follow the first part of the instructions for the Incredible and say if you ever get the error with adb trying to run sh.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
I will try to test either tonight or tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
There was some discussion in the chat about this and some believe since the DI comes with a 16gb card that gives them more of a window in the brief adb mount to scand the card at the beging and a smaller card wouldn't work the joke was Root needs a Big Ass card. some tried to fill the 8gb card with a lot of data to force a check. Not sure if they ever got a similar outcome but just a thought.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lifyre:
If thats the case buying a bigger card would a fairly trivial expense for a lot of people trying for root (and a good number possibly already have bigger cards)
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
The recovery boot of the Eris ROOT PB00IMG.ZIP acts in exactly that manner - adbd continues to run even without "tickling" it from the PC during a race window (Technically, the "ROOT" PB00IMG.ZIP file is also a leak - ha ha ).

It's irrelevant, of course, because if you could get the root recovery partition on the phone, you are already rooted. But it does act in the fashion described by the Incredible whackers - you can push files to the phone, but can't get an interactive shell.

So there's this evening's faint glimmer of hope for the leakers, twisting in the wind by a RCH.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
Anything on this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cyostrife:
yeah it didnt work out, there trying other methods now
[Droid Eris Android Development] br125:
The DI in fact comes with a 2gb sandisk card, which most people could not achieve adb in recovery to root with. The two cards that seem to work best are the 16gb class 6 Adata card, and the 4gb class 4 kingston card (this is the one I personally used to root my DI, which can be purchased at t-mobile stores)

edit: take a look at this for the sd cards that worked to get root on the incredible, as you will see the pny, kingston and a-data cards have worked the best, with sandisk just not working out too well

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:sdcard_data_charts
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
I used a $15 8gb class 4 PNY card that I bought at walmart to root mine. Others have managed with the 2gb class 2 sandisk that comes with the dinc. Some pondered the cheaper the better and had a lot of success with the adata cards.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
so would root hboot 149.2 OFF with leak 3 and ota have different recovery just wondering
[General Questions and Answers] Ranhiru:
This has being bugging me for some time now :(

It was very easy in WinMo 6.1 but now dragging with the stylus actually scrolls up and down but does not let me select multiple files :(

Is there anyway that i can select multiple sequential or random files, of course using the File Explorer :)

My HTC Touch2 does not have a keyboard with the ctrl key :(

And i know i can use a 3rd party software but is selecting multiple files really thrown out of a newer version of WinMo?? :S

[General Questions and Answers] Ranhiru:
Thanx a lot my friend:)

Not to sound rude but I already know about Total Commander and installed it :)

My question is why Microsoft dumped a VERY VERY important feature in its File Explorer in a NEWER version of it's mobile operating system :S

That kinda sux, doesn't it ? :(
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hey there,

They havent dumped it just that you have to do it a different way now.

If ur in text messaging for example, click menu, options then select all/several then do what you want. Same kinda thing applies to file exp, email etc.

Remember 6.5 is supposed to be more finger friendly hence selecting this way avoids slips of the finger lol.

You'll get used to it ;)

Cheers.

[HD2 General] antilagman:
Just received a 32Gb sd card and copied over all my files and cabs etc.

But when trying to reinstall the .cabs to my storage card and keep getting this message "installation of .cab was unsuccessful" ?????

has anyone got any ideas? I have had to go back to my sd card?
[HD2 General] :
didn't think there was any decent 32gig cards available yet, did you format the card in your phone first?
[HD2 General] troed:
The correct procedure (which I did only last evening with my new Sandisk 32GB mSD, it will take approx. 2hrs. depending on capacity and content of old mSD - mine had full 15,5GB):

1. Put back old SD-card

2. Switch HD 2 into flight mode (!!!!)

3. Connect to PC in HARDDISK Mode (not ActiveSync)

4. Open mSD card on PC and make ALL files accessible (also system-files etc.)

5. Copy entire content of old mSD to a fgolder on the PC

6. Disconnect HD2 from PC

7. Switch HD2 off and place new 32GB mSD into HD2

8. Switch HD2 ON

9. Check if mSD is recognized and shows right capacity (29-31 GB depending)

(EDIT: 10. Format mSD with format-prog in Settings-menu. HD2 STILL IN FLIGHT MODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (EDIT!!!: MAYBE BY FORMATTING YOU COULD GOOF THE CARD, SO BEST IS TO USE IT AS IT IS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX !!!! AND TRY TO FORMAT IT ONLY IN CASE IT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY OUT OF THE BOX !!!!!!!!!)

11. Connect HD2 again in Harddisk-Mode to PC

12. Copy all files from backup-folder of PC to the new mSD

13. Disconnect HD2 from PC

14. Switch HD2 OFF

15. Restart and enjoy Your new richdom of mem-space :D:D:D:D

DO NOT ACTIVATE ANY RADIO (GSM, 3G, HSDPA, WIFI DURING ENTIRE PROCEDURE !!!!!!! It might brick Your new expensive mSD-card cause WM once in while writes to it creating funny disorders on the new card.)

After restarting with new mSD there might be a "services.exe"-error. Switch off again and switch on again. No error-message any more.

I strongly recommend to invest 24 bucks for pocket mechanic or SKTools (I prefer PM but have both running). It helps You to optimize Your entire HD2 and evaporate all crap accumulated when playing around with install and del of mods and apps. Makes WM pretty stable and snappy
[HD2 General] antilagman:
troed thank you, but i am still having problems????

i have a games folder with cabs in and when i copy them over they dont even show and a few other folders have become like encryted??? cant open them or delete them ??? maybe the card is faulty????
[HD2 General] andyfoster:
Most problems with uSD cards seem to be caused by low capacity fakes being sold as high capacity branded cards.

I'd suggest checking it with h2testw - or alternatively if your new 32GB uSD card isn't a sandisk card bought from a reputable retailer for a lot of money, you don't need to test it to know that it's fake.
[HD2 General] troed:
Well, andyfoster could be right .....:(

I always buy my SD and mSD cards (only Sandisk) either at amazon, expansys or mobilefun and never ever had a single problem with them (e.g. I also run 32GB SD and MemStick in my Vaio).

Once I bought a Pretec 128GB SSD Express Card for the Vaio, filled it with read only files ...... worked ........... but when I wanted to check the content the SSD was dead/bricked.

What else could it be theoretically ?

Once I bought a Kingston DataTraveler-USB-Stick 64 GB and wanted to fill it with vid-files. In copy process it got stuck so I formatted it and now I have only 32GB available.

Why ?

As delivered the 64GBstick was formatted FAT 32, allowing only files less than 4GB saved onto it. This my fault then. One vid-files was 6 GB and gave an error. But when I destroyed the original format from Kingston with my formatting I lost half of the capacity with no workaround left.

What do I wann say with this ?

I don´t know if THAT could be the case, but MAYBE these high cap-SDs do have a special "Factory-format" that should not be changed ! When I received my 32GB mSD IT WORKED PERFECT OUT OF THE BOX ! I did no format. But, honestly, since it is a lill bit expensive I don´t wanna experiment with formatting it now. ;)

But MAYBE it is a fake-card ..................
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Yes, the first thing to know is how much you paid for the card and what brand it is... we've seen "ORIGINAL KINGSTON 32GB MICROSD CARD NO FAKE!!!1!ONE" on ebay, when Kingston never manufactured a single 32GB card yet...
[HD2 General] antilagman:
This is a sandisk by the way, (well it says sandisk on it ) and its funny you mentioned the format? it is formated wth the name fat32 hhmmmm and i am trying to put 13gb of stuff on it???, I have reformatted it again last night it took hours?? I might try again and if not i will just have to have a replacement?

after trying again, i notice this error regarding certain file names are to long??? and also if i create a folder and name it vids or movies it automaticly puts folders in side which cannot be opened or deleted? and the folders name will be ".?:-~~{"

its got to be the card right?
[HD2 General] antilagman:
I have returned the card and asked for a replacement?
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
what follows is unrelated to the main topic in this thread...

about the bold part in your post above...i thought i should tell you that there IS a workaround!

fact is that FAT32 is a file system in which a single file cannot be larger than 4GB. you should have gotten an error from explorer BEFORE even a single byte of the 6GB file was written.

more importantly, you should know that FAT32 fully supports very large partitions like 100GB, etc (at the cost of slower performance and/or wastage due to large cluster size at that capacity). what most people conclude is that it SEEMS like you can only create up to 32GB FAT32 partitions "at home" while larger sized FAT32 partitions can only be "created in a factory format". this misconception is entirely because the disk management in windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 enforce this limit when formatting!

google it and you will see that it is just an arbitrary limit by microsoft and these same operating systems have NO PROBLEMS reading/writing FAT32 partitions greater than 32GB. once again, it is JUST an arbitrary limitation of the default formatting routines shipped with windows. there is a great little tool (i forget the name of the program but its executable is called "guiformat.exe") that will allow you to format FAT32 greater than 32GB.

all of the above got me thinking about something though...it seems that manufacturers have chosen FAT32 as the de facto standard for most mobile devices with removable card storage (like smartphones, digital cameras, mp3 players, etc), likely because of FAT32's lack of complexities like security and the standard's relative "openness" compared to that of NTFS, for example. makes me wonder about the nice surprise people will start to have once greater than 32GB cards become available and when people will attempt to format them with windows, expecting everything to go smoothly...but oh the horror when windows won't let them format greater than 32GB. good times ahead! :p

He's right, keep hitting search. Type in "market" and get to helix in your installed apps and uninstall and then re-install if you still want it. But like he said, youre going to keep getting the force close, just work through it... I just did this the other night for a friend...

I am going to bring this up to the group. I am looking for the method to block the OTA updates. I enjoy my rooted Evo phones. It is a freedom I enjoy and plan to protect.

I am getting tired of pressing cancel every day. If I want to update, I want to be the one to control it.

I have been looking for a method to disable the OTA update prompts. From the board, I was able to find this.

Thread 6450334

I have tried it on my Evo with no luck

adb shell

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

# cd /etc/security

# ls

ls

otacerts.zip

cacerts.bks

# mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak

mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak

failed on 'otacerts.zip' - Directory not empty

Anyone know why otacerts.zip is in use and cannot be renamed. I did some different methods, but no luck.

Has someone done this before or knows of a better method of blocking the OTA updates from Sprint. I am open for a solution.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermayhm:
check with chuckhriczko, he successfully completed what you are trying to do. Also check out his ROM...it already has this action implemented into the ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I am assuming you are in the system when doing this? If so, you need to back out into recovery and do it. We currently don't have write access to the system partition while Android is running. Only in recovery. Highly recommend you look up Rom Manager on the market and use that to install the "fake-flash" recovery. It's truly the best recovery we have atm.

But you are doing it correctly except you wrote cd /etc/security. It should be /system/etc/security. The following is all you need.

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/etc/security
mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak

You can ls to make sure it worked but that should do it. Reboot and voila. Never press cancel again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
from my brief experience last night with this, /etc is a symlink to /system, so /etc or /system/etc is the exact same thing, doesn't matter.

i took the build.prop in the PC36IMG.zip which shows itself with test-keys, removed those and used release-keys, and the OTA appeared when it hadn't before!

now it downloaded the OTA but verification failed. i had to copy over ota-certs.zip from a stock EVO and those allowed the OTA update to pass verification.

if you wanted to reverse the process and prevent OTA updates from downloading, you can manually change your build.prop to show you as already having .6 software package loaded and it won't show any OTA available anymore.

it might be better to actually load the .6 software though which will adjust the build.prop, but thats my personal recommendation and not related to your request. im also running PC36IMG.zip on .1 software and also get the OTA update prompt but i plan on loading .6 software soon.

another factor to consider is the radio version also ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Oh I didn't know about the symlink. Good call.

Good point. I forgot to mention I did change the build number in the build.prop to be .6 instead of .1 so maybe that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] techie4971:
chuckhriczko,

I first tried it in system and no luck, then I went to recovery. I figured the active system partition was the issue.

Now I know I was in the wrong place. I will get Rom Manager and take a look at your customized ROM.

Nice job on the ROM. Love to say goodbye to those Sprint Apps.
