i just tried safari and i was able to download the .apk file.

but smtg weird happened before this. I already installed UNIVERSALANDROOT and tried to root my device and it says that my x10 was rooted but wasnt able to use wifi tethering or titanium backup ... then i tried to install the root.apk (from angelo) file but as i said b4...the file was download as .php and i had to change the extension to .apk.

An error always occurred saying that the app cant be installed. then i was browsing the file and i found a .apk file and i was able to install the superuserpermission.apk

then rooted using universalandroot and suddenly wifi tethering worked and titanium backup too ...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ungruntled:
Exploid is awesome; I used it to go from rooted 020 to rooted 026 with EASE, for a relative newbie.

HOWEVER.

I have searched and searched and searched and SEARCHED and I cannot fathom how to change the r/w attributes on the stock apps, Moxier Mail and all that.

I'm probably being dense but last time I just ran a cleanup.cmd file; this time when I run similar I just get "rm failed for /system/app/moxiermail.apk, Read-only file system"

I've looked all over this forum and when I think I've found someone trying to explain it, I just can't make head or tail of it.

And, I don't have the full Titanium Backup so I can't do it that way.

I found the initial root process (before Exploid) pretty easy and the batch-file removal of the crap apps was great. But for this one, I am stumped, and no matter how many thread I've read I can't fathom it.

PLEASE someone give me a dummy's guide to how to remove these apps post-exploid! I have been trying, failing, searching, trying, reading, scratching head, for the past 2 hours. I've tried doing some "chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh" in the adb shell but again I get "read only file system".

I'm technically sound-of-mind usually but I'm sure I've missed something somewhere and it's pissing me off now as I got rid of these deadweight apps when I first rooted but I'm really hacked off that they're all back now and the old method doesn't work to get rid of them!

Thanks for your time.

--------------

EDIT: Forget it, I got Titanium Backup and that has let me uninstall them. I didn't think it was in the "lite" version, and even when I had it, I was looking for ages for the option, long pressing, hitting menu... didn't realise it was a short-click. BAH!

However, I'd love it if someone came up with a quick & easy way of doing this, i.e. selecting the stock apps you want to destroy forever. I preferred the original ".cmd" cleanup file, I must say. I'm pretty hacked off that I have to work out what is safe again to delete though as some of the file names appear differently in TB. This part of the process is currently MUCH harder than the original root method IMO.

I've just wasted 2 hours of my life.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
have you tried the "remount " command u can find in any of the initial rooting batch files? its usually the first command string, i think i used to copy it from a step 3.cmd batch.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
It was here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7448925#post7448925

Basically, the exploid method doesn't set the setui bit on sh, so you can't run adb .cmd scripts.

You can use my Toggle Secure Shell script to allow you to use cleanup.cmd again:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7535961#post7535961
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Just a quick comment. Not having the setui bit set on sh is a Good Thing. From a security perspective it's like constantly running your computer as administrator or root and just look at how much good that did for Windows XP. :)

It's much, much better to keep the it as it is and use su when needed. Sacrificing security for convenience should be a shooting offense imo.

Ciao Angelo

PS: next step is uroot e remove/restore of SE apps
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
Agreed. You should unsecure it when you want to run scripts like cleanup.cmd or the Market fix, but then secure it again after you're done. And if you're not currently secure (or are unsure), you can use the script to secure it. Convenient and safe. ;)

ardf69, is it possible to add this to your app? I think all it would involve is requesting superuser access, and then changing the permission of /system/bin/sh. An added plus would be to display the current status. :)

So sorry for my noobiness again.

How do I know that I have rooted my phone?

And since I went over to 26 UK Gen. My phone displays as x10i.

Any possibility of changing back to x10a?

I mean it doesn't seem to be affecting anything from me so .. lol but just wondering.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
1) install busybox if its not already installed.. it should tel ya once ya open it

2) did u not use the x10a root method? I'm sure there's a workaround somewhere but il leave it to someone who has more knowledge in this section!!

Hope it helps!!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mied:
This happens to me aswell.. I run 1.1.31, R2BA026.

Is there something that I am doing wrong? Should it output something else after "wifi on" or is this it? How long sohuld it take? I have waited for approximately 20 mins after "wifi on".

Full output from program X10root.apk (version 1.04) in my X10 below:

"Copying the files...

exploid copied

busybox copied

su copied

Superuser.apk copied

Then nothing...:confused:

Edit: I downloaded version 1.03 from post 133 in this thread (I am not allowed to post a link) and ran that instead of version 1.04. Now it worked. My X10 is now officially rooted.

I kept getting the "Sorry, License Expired" or "Sorry, License Not Found" messages when trying to play Avatar. It was driving me nuts! I finally fixed it by doing the following using Astro file manager:

1. Copy the Movie folder (/sdcard/sd/Movie) over to internal memory (/sdcard/Movie)

2. Unmounting and then formating the external SD card under Settings|SD and Phone Storage

3. Copy the Movie folder back from internal memory back to the external sd card.

4. Reboot.

I've personally had to do a hard reset of my Viva more than a few times :o and after posting this link as a response in a couple of other threads I thought that I ought to just go ahead and create a new thread for it as well.

If you think you've bricked your phone and soft resets aren't working sometimes all you can do is perform a hard reset.

I have been having the same problem and this fix worked for me...

Just unzip the three files in this zip archive and adb remount and push them to the /system/etc directory, reboot and youre done!

./adb remount

./adb push AudioPreProcess.csv /system/etc

./adb push AudioPara4.csv /system/etc

./adb push AudioFilter.csv /system/etc

./adb reboot

I gave it a test on my own hero and it works perfecly, but if I flash a new kernel I have to reapply the fix... unfortunate, but at least there is a solution
[Vibrant General] 18.4009:
I rooted my vibrant and when I start anything like root explorer it pops up the superuser screen for me to hit yes... but I am trying to move some files around in system/app folder. In root explorer when I try to switch from read only file system to read write, nothing happens. I can not get it out of read only. Is this something I have done wrong or something with root explorer?

Thanks for the assistance.

[Vibrant General] GODCYPH:
The mere fact that the SuperUser app launched when Root Explorer launched seems to indicate that you indeed have root (as long as you clicked yes).

One way to find out is to launch your terminal emulator and try "su". If you get the "#" prompt, you are rooted :p

When I navigate to /system/app in root explorer, it automatically mounts as r/w for me...
[Vibrant General] 18.4009:
Yep, I am rooted. How weird though... I can't get read write access to save my life. Hmmm going to have to mess with it more.

Thanks for the help.

Sent from my Samsung vibrant.
[Vibrant General] GODCYPH:
The only other suggestion I can make is to open Superuser Permissions app and make sure Root Explorer is approved (has a green dot next to it). I suppose it is possible that when the prompt came up, you accidentally pressed the wrong button.
[Vibrant General] 18.4009:
Very odd... superuser says I am good to go but when I go into root explorer and try to delete the app it says its deleted but then if I refresh or reboot it returns...

[Captivate General] phlunkie:
Why are they running flash on that site? Bummer,i'll check later.
[Captivate General] amazingtaters:
Seems to me that all this is going to do is have the placebo effect that the other "fixes" have had, and give you a coarse location, something my Eternity could do, and not really a fix for the GPS issue as it uses triangulation from cell towers to locate you.
[Captivate General] siberslug:
No.

Cell tower can't lock onto you exact coronates
[Captivate General] siberslug:
My site works on the Vibrant and N1.

If you don't have flash or flash lite your YouTube player should open
[Captivate General] amazingtaters:
No, one tower can't. However, 3 or 4 towers can, basically you bounce a signal to multiple towers, and the time it takes for a full loop to be finished by the signal between you and the tower can be used to calculate how far you are from that tower. If you know how far you are from three separate towers, you can get a decent lock on your position. That's what the "Use Wireless Networks" function in the Location menu does.

Anyway, I tried this fix, and it didn't change the fact that my GPS signal was spotty, constantly fluctuating the number of satellites seen, and often dropping all satellites, while taking just over 7 minutes to get a lock on me that had the piss poor accuracy of approximately 30 meters.
[Captivate General] siberslug:
3 or 4 towers can not give you an exact location, the best I have seen was 200 meters with cell tower location.

All GPS systems fluctuate that's normal but dropping all is not unless your in a big city. for example, I have not found 1 GPS unit that works reliably in downtown Detroit and I have had 9 Nav systems in 2 years.

I turn on tower location and MS assist for faster pinpoints and indoor use .

So far out of over 300 views and 49 posts and emails only 6 people say it does not work for them everyone else says it works.
[Captivate General] amazingtaters:
I would argue that cell tower triangulation can get you to a much closer accuracy than 200 meters. If my eternity hadn't taken a divot to the screen that prematurely ended it's life a month ago I'd take a video with my captivate to prove it. Sadly, you'll just have to take my word that my eternity often got my location right within about 100 feet, and while it would at times be kilometers off this was the exception and not the rule. I'm just saying that cell triangulation (or quadrangulation or pentangulation or however many towers you have) can be quite accurate, especially in urban areas where there a lot of towers to bounce signal off of. And 7 minutes to get a lock on my location within 30 meters is absurd, I don't think anyone would argue that.
[Captivate General] Anim8ED_1:
Waste of time...

This was already mentioned in the sticky GPS thread.

We need a fix not an intermittent workaround.
[Captivate General] bassahaulic:
I got my GPS to work PERFECT!!!!

The trick is.............. turn on "AutoConfig" :):)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I doubt it. Try drive around using Google Navigator and see if you get precise lock through out the time. I'd bet money it won't.

So far, all the fixes are only tackling the initial quick lock on. None can fix the precision errors of the Galaxy GPS.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Hmm actually Auto Config gave me super good accuracy(5 meters), slower lock time and really laggy while driving.
[Captivate General] Anim8ED_1:
Still good accuracy?

It works for about a day.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
If you want to fix your GPS, you have to flash to the JH2 firmware. It contains the real fix for GPS. Whatever setting you play with the JF6 firmware won't make much of a difference after a few days. The driver in all the early firmwares are completely broken.
[Captivate General] halfhp:
Granted there may be 2 completely separate problems, with that firmware update fixing one of them, but I'm sad to say that the JH2 firmware fix didnt make it past the 8 hour point for me. GPS refuses to lock without a reboot. I've been fiddling with the GPS configuration as well to see if the combination will be the answer, but so far no luck.
[Captivate General] beazie0885:
I can go ahead and say IMO its not a total fix with the new firmware, It's better, but my wifes my touch 3g slide blows this one out of the water when it comes to initial lock and tracking. I just flashed the new rom today and the gps isn't all that great now I'm scared about what my gps is gonna look like tomorrow!
[Captivate General] bobaka:
works MUCH better with AutoConfig on for me also

and wireless turned off

usually get a lock in 10 seconds or less

occasionally takes longer..
[Captivate General] Ricparr:
I finally had luck today by going with the supl.google server and changing my accuracy to 100 and my mode to ms based. Locked and was great for a good 3 hours. Later on it took a while to get a lock, but would lose it quickly, then wouldn't lock at all again. I exchanged it for a new one tonight and the gps is working great....just like when I first got the other one >.>

My question is this: If I wait for the "fix" they are releasing and it takes me past my 30 days, what recourse do I have? GPS is a MUST for me, without it this phone to me is broken and I can't settle for it. Do you think I would have any chance of swapping it for another model like the aria?? I hate that gps is that big of a deal but it simply is for me. Love the screen, the power, the speed, all the potential....but come ON how hard is it to make gps work these days? I am very function over fashion. I need my phone to work, if it doesn't I will get a less flashy, more reliable device.
[Captivate General] halfhp:
With AT&T - zero, zip, nada. I spent a lot of time on the phone and in the store with them trying to see what options I had in this situation. They were very clear with me that in the case that a real problem with GPS is found but never gets fixed, its Samsung's issue not theirs and that I must go through Samsung for a resolution. They did also say the stores do have the power to make exceptions and possibly allow you to exchange your device for something else, but there is no obligaton for them to help you out.
