ok got my phone rooted before programming the phone. VZW is back up too.

now all i need now is a way to make root persistant, it doesn't seem to work for me :(

# cd /system/bin
cd /system/bin
# cat /sdcard/su > su
cat /sdcard/su > su
# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
# rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm: cannot remove '/system/xbin/su': No such file or directory
# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
# rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm: cannot remove '/system/xbin/su': No such file or directory
# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied

anything I did wrong?
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
You can only issue those commands from recovery root shell ATM.
[Droid Incredible General] generic.imitation:
I was in recovery.

I went thru the whole root process, was able to remove cityID, and got to the part where you make root persistant, but it keeps giving me that error.
[Droid Incredible General] vonfeldt7:
I'm also curious about this... the same exact thing is happening to me. The whole process goes flawless until "ln - s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"

Hopefully someone has an idea... any help is appreciated.

*EDIT*

I'm not sure why this works, my guess is that perhaps system/xbin/ was being read and because of that it wouldn't allow me to write su to it (from system/bin/). Maybe I'm way off, but either way, this did fix my problem(s):

After following the instructions for rooting as far as possible, have the command "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su" in cmd but don't press enter yet. On the phone, select "Reboot" and right after selecting reboot press enter on cmd. Press the up arrow key and press enter again (and repeat multiple times until the phone reboots). You may even want to make a .bat file for this.. If all went well, you saw something similar to:

# ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
ln: /system/xbin/su: Permission denied
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

As you can see, right before the phone reboots it accepts the "

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su" command. Unfortunately, you have to do the same

thing with the last command, "chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su". You have to get adb to recognize

your phone in recovery (again) by following one of the tutorials/10 min video tutorial and follow

the same steps as before.

Concise:

Follow your choice of tutorial for rooting phone up until "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"

Follow my terrible instructions for getting phone to accept the above command.

Again get adb to recognize your phone in recovery. (Including applying update.zip again).

Follow my terrible instructions for getting phone to accept the "chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su" command

Reboot.
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
I have the EXACT same problem... my entire process works up until that line and then it says permission denied... quite frustrating

is there any other way to get it to work without rebooting? The reason being i only get ADB to work about once every 50 years so once i reboot my chances of getting it back to do the final chmod line is another 3 day long process.. and also the remove command dosent work either it says no such file or directory found
[Droid Incredible General] vonfeldt7:
There might be another way, hopefully somebody with more knowledge can help you out... in the worst case scenario you can try my above "method," but it's definitely a pain to accomplish.
[G1 General] Deleted member 2663968:
I'm having some problems with partitioning my new 16GB microSD card for use with apps2SD. The problem seems to be that any partition past the first fat32 partition comes out inevitably messed up.

What I did first is use dd on a ubuntu system to image my old 8GB SD card and write the image to the new one. I figured I could maybe resize the FAT32 partition and move the ext2 and swap ones up (I'm not really sure whether or not the swap partition is useful, but that's irrelevant). Problem is, gparted did not seem to recognize the two partitions past the fat32 one. This meant that I couldn't do anything with them. For the record, the partitions on the 8GB card work fine and even mount automagically on the same system.

So what I did next is try to partition the card with gparted, with one huge fat32 partition, one ext2 the same size as the one on my old card, and the swap. This resulted in a similar situation to that I encountered earlier - gparted had no idea what the last two partitions were. The phone seemed to think that the card was blank (I do not recall the exact notification text right now but it was something to that effect). I even tried imaging the old partition 2 and writing it directly over the new partition 2. Pretty sure that wouldn't have worked anyway and so it didn't.

I tried writing zeros to the entire card to be damn sure. I booted the phone into recovery (I'm running Amon_RA's recovery 1.6.2), and ran parted on the phone. I did mklabel msdos, then tried mkpartfs. The first partition went up ok, but once I tried making the ext2 one, my parted crashed. It spat out "Error: Invalid superblock. Are you sure this is an ext2 file system?" followed by lengthy text along the lines of "You found a bug in Parted here's how you report it," followed by "Error: SEGV_MAPERR (Address not mapped to object). Aborted."

So, I'm pretty sure my card is a dud. I'm posting this here in case I'm missing something obvious and someone can point that out. Also, I'm running CM 5.0.7.
[G1 General] Diamond_dawg:
the problem is that you have a fake sd card
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jack88yu:
Hi Every,

Does anyone have solution to put different weather city as widget to SPB mobile shell? Mobile shell can get "SPB TIME" as widget to show many city time. But SPB weather can not, why? Please help.

Jack
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hungry81:
I think you need to get SPB traveler for that. SPB traveler includes SPB weather and you can display the weather from many different cities with it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kfreels:
why? To get you to pay more of course!

I just wish the mobile shell would display the current temp and let you choose from more sources. It's silly that they haven't worked this out considering the number of people griping about it since the earliest versions. I though 3.0 would fix it...then 3.5....still no joy. Good thing that weatherbug direct has a small cab that puts the current temp in your taskbar.

I have microsoft Vista and I installed the appropriate drivers on my phone to change the USB and everytime I try run USPL GUI v 2.5 I get a message saying Error accessing device. The phone is in bootloader mode as well while I do this and I tried to do the SSPL MAnual Touch HD on my phone and got error messages as well.....what am I doing wrong! Im stumped

Surely this phone is out of Warranty

You're out of warranty right?

So why not just use HardSPL?

I've read a few posts stating that the task killer apps are causing the sense crash.

thanks this solved it for me. It was the spare parts messing with it. The custom rom (Inspire 4g- CoreDroid hd v4.9) came preloaded with parts on there. i personally never had a need for parts.

I want to flash to WM6.5, chinese version, any ROM for suggestion?

and how can I backup my current ROM, if I want to roll back after I flash to WM6.5?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thgil:
Have a look at the stickies of this forum, which would tell you what to do about flashing rom.

About the rom: there are some Chinese WM6.5 roms here (CHS, CHT, but the build version is a bit old), use the forum search tool to find them. A WWE rom plus wince.nls including CJK regions is also a solution.

As far as I know, this WM6.5.X rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=673852

includes the most languages.

But since it's a very light one, maybe a bit difficult for newbies.

[Off-topic] zarpy:
I remember when I 1st came here , i started looking for games and apps. I found a whole bunch of freeware I liked. On my own time I started learning how to program games on my own. I work normal job and didnt have alot of time to learn how to code. When I made games for myself , I decided to upload them here to share. Most of the games I made where short 1-3 levels, thats all the time I had. Of course you have people who dont like the game and say its sucks. After a while you get tired of it , and respond like ok it sucks so why dont you make a better one.

Then its like people start following you around and fXXXX with you. Then I go to another website and they follow me there to start more shXt. Honestly its like alot of people are sick in the head. If you dont like the games I make,why follow me around and download more of my games and so ohh it sucks. Its like if you dont like what I do, why keep searching my name.

What I hate the most is if I respond , then more people jump in and say Iam wrong. Now I'll admit when I go off , i go off the deep end. Iam wondering is it just windows mobile users or is it like that everywhere.

Hello, Zarpy.

I'm brand new as a member here, although I've derived a lot of information at this site.

I belong to many forums, as you do to, I gather. Some are well moderated, often with aggressive staffers who are dedicated to keeping the types of behaviors you mention out of the threads. Those are the forums I prefer.. they are not perfect; we'll still see a bit of it before it's caught by a mod, and we'll also see language such as you're using, which I find crass and immature.

If complaints to the administrators of a forum cluster such as this one do no good at all, I'd rethink my participation there, especially if being stalked and harassed by users as you say you are.

[Off-topic] pjcforpres:
Hey guys! I am looking at getting a new computer, and would like some input from those with greater knowledge than I have. My main goals are to get away from windows, I want something with great web surfing power, great Adobe CS5 power, and something that is microsoft word/excel/power point compatible both ways (creating and reading). I am looking at either a Mac product, or putting together a hackintosh... in either case, I will also boot up different linux OS's along the way as well until I find one I like more the OSX and to get used to them... I have a lot of experience with OSX designing with CS.

What I am replacing: Dell Inspiron 1525 17" laptop... nothing special, not sure why I am sharing such lame info with you.

I have 2K to spend... I am a student, so I get student discounts if available.

Options I am weighing:

Macbook Pro 15": I would like to get another laptop, and if I do likely what I will go with (unless there is a damn good option that can be hackintoshed perfectly)... I am looking at it with the 2.66 i7, getting the hd screen, then ordering a ram upgrade that takes it from 4gb to 8gb for way less than they offer, and is the exact same brand, et al Apple uses.

iMac 27": do it with the 2.8 i7 processor, same story as above, will get my own RAM upgrade on my own to make it 8GB.

iMac 21": 3.33 core 2 duo ati raedon graphics card, same story for RAM... saves a lot of money over a 27", but worse processor, and smaller screen... that extra money would likely go into a really cheap laptop.

Build my Own desktop: This seems optimal regarding cost and getting everything I want power wise, but I do not know a lot about the hackintosh community... ie, I know with a desktop, unlike laptops, you can do pretty much a perfect working install of OSX. I also know I can build a super fast desktop for less than a Mac would cost. Only drawback is that I don't have a lot of experience with the OS side of computers, especially installing, etc... I have a friend that will build it for me that has built a good 30 desktops, but they have all been windows. **I will be buying official OSX discs, so won't be warezed at all in any way**

I guess I should highlight my main wants to sum up:

-Not windows

-2K budget

-Want it to be something that will last me 3 years, maybe more

-CS5

-Word/Excel/PowerPoint (I am student still)

-Internet

-If do it myself, something that works 99.9% perfect compared to a factory computer, if it works better, even better!
[Off-topic] ohyeahar:
If going with Apple, then I'd go for any of the Core i5 machines. That is either the 15" 2.4Ghz Macbook Pro or the 2.66Ghz iMac.

But why not Windows? Every Windows machine with comparable specs to Apple's is always going to be less expensive. Windows 7 seems to be a legitimately good OS.

With the price you spend on an Apple machine, you can probably get an equal Windows machine plus a cheap netbook...

Wow that is just way to much stuff there...

I've ran loop on 2 totally different Computers running 2 totally different OS's and running 2 totally different Drivers, I have no problems with either one..

1st: XP sp3 32bit w/ PDANet Drivers <--- Only ones that I could get to load, Forcing drivers wouldn't work in XP... also like I said before, make sure to close the PDANet Program in the Toolbar.. Also make sure to read the directions when installing PDANet...

2nd: Windows 7 64bit w/ Htc Drivers <---PDANet Drivers also work... You have to force the HTC Drivers in Devices Manager..

I think most people are having this problem because they aren't doing the USB Debug thing. But could be Wrong.

Also a side note my phone is running the USB Drive and not SYNC works just fine...

Also It just might be your computer so I would try and use a different one if you can.

You definitely don't want to do that, as one of them is one that you need to be connected once you finally get to see offline stay.

When you say your in a loop it sounds to me maybe your not doing the adb devices after the phone listened to your adb reboot recovery command
