[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
Hello everyone,

I just got my Droid Incredible and have rooted it using Unrevoked3. I'm really enjoying it, but I have a few questions:

Am I correct in thinking that rooting consists entirely of getting su and Superuser.apk on the phone, and the hard part is setuiding and chmodding them?

What exactly is meant by "radio" in "flash a new radio"?

Why is it necessary to flash the stock recovery before applying an OTA update? Shouldn't ClockworkMod be able to do anything the stock recovery can?

(Somewhat related to the previous question) What would happen if one accepted an OTA without unrooting or applying the stock recovery?

Thank you all and sorry for my noobishness.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s197:
1. It also consists of replacing the stock recovery with Clockwork. It's ridiculously simple thanks to the unrevoked tool.

2. Radio = Baseband.

3. No, Clockwork cannot currently flash the radio.

4. I doubt anyone could answer for sure until it comes out
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
1 yes

2 the radio is the thing that gets the signals

3 clockwork can't flash radios
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
Thanks for the quick responses.

I'm not trying to criticize Clockwork in any way here, but why can't it flash the radio? Does it need the NAND to be unlocked, and if so, would it be possible to use Unrevoked to put on a new radio?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
No, koush just didnt put it in for whatever reason.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
Thanks for the clarification. Are there currently no other suitable recoveries for the Incredible that can flash the radio?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
No. I tried amonra from the desire, and i nearly broke my recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
One more question: what does PB31IMG.zip do? Is it just the stock recovery, or does it return everything back to stock?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachString:
Yes everything back to stock... if you have upgraded the radio you might get an error sayin something like main version its older.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honestly77:
1. Root consists of getting the MOST access to the device so things that we're normally out of our privilege range can be accessed... i.e. flashlight/titanium back up etc. It also pushes busybox su and the custom recovery to make ADB easier.

2. Think of the radio as the bios on your PC....very important...mess with it and you can EASILY break your machine of choice.

3. The reason I am sure Koush left radio flashability out is because of the ridiculous amount of noobs that would simply destroy their device by being curious/not reading the giant red letters in most posts/just not paying attention to what they are doing. It is VERY easy to brick a device with access to flashing the radio...dangerous and probably a fail safe to keep as many bricks down as possible.

4. What would probably happen with the OTA is you will either A. Loose root and be completely stock WITH NO WAY of downgrading to gain root. B. Brick Brick Brick. C. Profit? D. It might not let you even continue with the installation because of the custom recovery...not sure though because it hasn't happened yet....just DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA REQUESTS.

The PB image is the only way to downgrade back to stock. Completely stock. Out of the box stock. No root...no nothing! BUT it reopens the unrevoked exploits so you can reroot and also allows you to flash the OTA is your version is older...some tricks need to be taken though to get your version older then the ota.

The OTA is said to patch the exploit to RUU to stock. That means no mores roots if you OTA. Wait it out...when it drops it will be rooted and ready for the flashness.

Has anyone seen this?

Does anyone know if this includes the encrypted drivers that are currently a hurdle in the path of custom ROM development?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I saw more files there than in the Galaxy S source, and for a moment thought the source was there, but actually it was just leftovers from the build process and the source still isn't there.

However, asedeno claims that Samsung are going to release the source, as the modules are GPL:

Hey guys, I am currently doing some research into android applications and I would love to hear from you guys about what makes you download an app and what makes you review the app as good or bad. So basically list your favourite features of Android applications and explain why this appeals to you and makes the Application 'good' in your opinion. Any App welcome...

Would be nice to get a discussion going between users about favourite applications and what you would like to see in applications that arn't so good.

So get writing about your favourite Apps etc... cant wait to hear from you all ;)

Thankyou x:D

A blend of design and purpose, but most important of all, quality of code. Doesn't matter how nice it looks, how useful it is/could be, if it's laggy, buggy, and buggersome to use :)

The mass market prefers the first two, usually.
[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
Design and functionality are what I consider the most important. Once those two are established then you can focus all your attention to the code.

Im running the Xandriod 2.1 on my Htc Diamond500 and the phone seems to lose battery very quickly and gets very hot when talking to someone on it, is it just my battery or is android just a battery sucker for my diamond?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] nicofortune:
the heat one is normally my diamond does that also i find it cools down really fast tho and mine looses battery really fast also depending on what you are doing on the phone but if u dont mind adding a little thickness to the phone you can get a bigger battery for it which holds alot more power you can find loads of these batterys on ebay
[Touch Diamond CDMA] jbcain:
wait till you wifi-tether and hump it for 2gigs of info in one night.. hot enough that it will no longer allow it to charge and too hot to touch.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] oopsz:
That sounds normal. Android isn't optimized for the diamond yet, so it sucks down power and doesn't put the processor into sleep mode as aggressively as windows mobile.

Also it doesn't accurately detect battery status, so when android thinks the battery is dead you can reboot back into windows and still have a decent charge left.

This will hopefully get better as the android devs work on the project. You can get an extended battery as a stopgap. IF you think it's worth it, kick a few bucks their way!
[HD2 General] victorbd:
my phone gets stuck at windows loading screen after booting,but if i remove my SD card it starts :S what should i do??
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Backup the files on your SD-card, but

delete the files you did not create

.

Then, plug in your SD-card to your PC (using a card reader; or use another device that can let you see the SD-card as a Disk Drive). Go to Start > My Computer > [right click on] Storage Card > Format... > Format as FAT32.

That might work.
[HD2 General] victorbd:
thanks .. i flashed a new rom and then formatted sd card and copied again n problem solved...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Gergify:
So I followed Myn's quick and easy steps to download Android, using the "Classic SQSH method". I copied the files into the ROOT of the SD card, but when I run it on my phone the script stops at this:

[ 2.520920] msm_rto msmtro:0 rto Core: registere

When I use other bundles I always get a "Kernel Panic" and the script stops and I have to force shut it down. I have not idea how to fix this and its getting frustrating!

What am I doing wrong? Can you guys help out me out? I'm a total newbie to this kind of thing!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Abyykinns:
Is your Vogue rom unlocked? if not.. That may be the problem.. I had the same issue a little bit ago.

I unlocked my rom then updated it to the latest stock rom from my carrier which was "6.1"

Sorry if I'm not much help.. =[

ps.. I'm a newbie too but we learn as we go and from the best right? =p

-Abyy<3
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
With SQSH method, you don't have to unlocked your phone. it doesn't touch your WinMo system.

unless you want to flash some android ROM replacing WinMo, then you should unlock your phone first.

why don't you try to re-format your SD card into fat32 ( but before - make your backup of your important data on your SD card ).

Then you could try again with android setup.

if you get the same error result, try it with another clean SD card.

Another method that you could try without replacing WinMo with Android is NoMorootfs.

i wish there was a barely there case for this phone. i do not care about the front but in the back it is so slippery in the hand that i need something. Does anyone else knows any other options
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] cswroe:
I actually just bought the universal kit from egrips: http://www.egrips.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2

It works great, I used the thin strips on the sides of the battery cover and a small strip on the back. You have to trim one of the thin strips down because of the camera button, but so far seems to work perfect. Shipped quick and arrived in a couple days US mail.

I was just trying to find a good solution for a better grip on the phone, it really does not provide any protection.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] vikramdhani:
Will you be kind enough to post the pictures of your phone with the strips on ?
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] falken98:
get something like the invisible shield or other full body wrap. It has a rubbery texture so the phone is no longer slippery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] sino8r:
That's actually pretty cool and without the goofy rubberized cases tmo has to offer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] cswroe:
Sorry, it has been a busy couple days. Here are the small eGrip strips on the side of the Slide. The photos are not the best...

I used eGrips because I am pretty familiar with their products. It is the same material that the "dash pads" are made which are used to prevent items from sliding across your dash.

Pics looks nice and now i am seriously thinking about them as well

I recommend the black strips for the side of the device pictured, but the Clear strips work very well too, and they have a stronger adhesive, as seen on the iPhone 4 here:

Recently received 2.1 OTA for Eris; will the root.zip method implemented for root access on 1.6 phones work in this situation? Even though it has been upgraded already? All of the threads and videos I can find on SU access on Eris are done before this update.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ricersniper:
ok i found out what it is we need to do to use save files from other emulators or dexdrive saves on our evo's.

1st. there are many dexdrive saves located at http://www.gamefaqs.com. goto the ps1 list, select your game and then goto the tab "saves". dexdrive saves are full dumps of ps1 memory cards. these files are in .gme format and we need to convert them over to .mcr format.

then download this http://www.aldostools.org/memoryconverter.zip. it is a memory card file converter. it will not run in windows 7 64 for me. i ran it in a xp virtual machine that i have built and it worked just fine. other os's i have no clue about. when you run it, it asks you for the memeory card file. use the .gme file and then hit convert. it defaults to saving it as a bleem save game but if u click the drop down menu and select the top .mcr file, epsxe i think, and then click finished.

now connect your phone to the pc and toggel usb. go the the .psx4droid directory and copy your files here. i had allready made a save game and just renamed the new one to the one i allready had.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] theboundless:
Dude you're the man! Thanks, this is exactly the information I was looking for. The program I used was different from yours: http://moberg-dybdal.dk/psxge/

It works on windows 7, though I can't make it save more than 1 save per memory card, so I use card 2 for the dexdrive save. Also, it saves it as a different format, I think ".mcd" but I just renamed the file "mem0002.mcr" or whatever that stock name was, and it works just fine.

Thanks again bro! The psx4droid's usefulness has definitely gone up big time!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Trev186:
PS save states to PSX4droid save states

This is great to use with Memory cards but I was trying to find a work around for some games which freeze at the start screen.

I was hoping to take the .psv save state I can get from a pre loaded Metal Gear Solid and then convert it to the same type of save state in psx4droid and do a quick load and see if I can skip the title screen thus enabling me to play the game from where the save state left off.

The load option freezes in MGS as well so my memory card save from my PC psx emulator does not do me any good.

Oddly enough the disc 2 seems to work fine at the menu to start and load a new game...problem being it asks you to insert disc 2 and then you are screwed. I am going to try and convert a disc 2 save of MGS and see if I can load disc 2 on my Nexus one.

I have the same problem with Parasite Eve 2 freezes as soon as it boots.

Hi,

I cannot seem to connect to my WiFi at home after flashing CM6. I have WEP enabled on the router. When I try to connect to the network the only option available for WEP is to specify a password. Where do I specify the key index, open/shared key authentication etc.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
The key is the password.

The password is the key.

password = key

key = password

Really.

As for key index? That's old BS that isn't even needed in modern networks. Also, ditch WEP, because anyone with a netbook or *nix-running device can crack it in under five minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpa:
I have tried the key as the password, does not work. The key index thing is present in the stock ROM so can't be that outdated :) I do agree abt the uselessness of WEP and probably should switch to WPA2. Just lazy to update the 5/6 devices that connect plus I have MAC address filtering on the router. I guess I could try WPA2 and if it does not work it is open + MAC
