[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tribalartgod:
Is it possible to write a boot script for dual booting NAND backups?

Let me explain:

I have 2 perfectly tweaked backups. One is 2.1 Firmware, and the other is 2.2 Firmware.

What I am asking is this... Is there a way at phone reboot to select which Firmware you wish to boot to...From there, a script would automatically restore the appropriate NAND file and then boot into that firmware?...

I understand there are ROM managers, but a NAND backup contains all the specific tweaks and settings and ready to roll at boot. So essentially, the only thing to ever have to be backed up would be SMS messages as everything else is self contained within that NAND file...granted you don't remove the apps from the memory card either.

I apologize if this has already been asked elsewhere, but I was unable to locate it.

More FUD fear-mongering by antivirus companies looking to get in on the next big area of devices.

Someone wake me up when we have a fully fledged, self-replicating virus that doesn’t require my permission to install, exploits some unknown security hole to subversively install itself, accesses my contacts, and emails itself to all of my friends and acquaintances.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kagoshema:
anyone have tips for making it work on the captivate?

the current version requires a reboot, but i found that using quick reboot works too

right now im just hitting the apndroid widget and then quick reboot, does anyone know a way to make a script to tie the two together?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Picard_8525:
Get the APNdroid 2.5 beta (root required). Last I read it does work on the captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] delugeofspam:
Hey, what's an APNdroid?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] myrddin201:
turns on/off your data connection.

i got it so i wouldn't use data when i traveled to other countries. it seemed to work, but i wasn't sure. my bill just had the calls i made and no data charges so...:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] arabcamel:
You don't need APNdroid to turn your data off in other countries. All you have to do is Uncheck the "data roaming" box in mobile network settings.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] myrddin201:
i see. well then, that probably helped too :D

yay! more space on the pages to put other crap i don't need yay!

[Epic 4G General] agonzalez1010:
After getting locked out of rooting when EVO went to FROYO 2.2 and after 21 days of waiting for with no workaround in sight, I decided to go ahead and explore my options on how to move on and aquire another awesome Android device without coming too much out of pocket. So for those who are in a similar boat and have a "Mint" condition EVO hear is the deal I found:

Go to your Local Radio Shack and ask for the Manager

Tell them you want to swap out your EVO for the EPIC and ask about the buy back program

[*]--- Radio Shack has a "Buy Back" program and if your EVO is in "Mint" Condition you can score anywhere between $250 - $285. You mush bring in your EVO for them to evaluate it. Once they confirm that it looks good, then they will give you an offer.​

That amount is in a form of a "Store Credit" which CAN be used against the purchase of the Epic.

Then put down your $50 pre-order for the EPIC and hold on to your gift card and receipt. Done...

On launch day bring your EVO, Box, and cable and about $250 + some tax. Walk out with an EPIC ready for root.

So in total you ended up paying about $300 plus tax (which was $50 over what the phone would of been sold with a new 2 year) but at least you didn't have to pay $549.99 + tax and you managed to get a phone that is about as good as the EVO is and more importantly "ROOT" access back.

Hope this helps someone.

;-)

******

Yeah, I know it can be sold for MORE on Ebay or Craigslist, but then what do you do during the time that you don't have a phone waiting for the Epic? And how do you get it deactivated? Waiting for the bidding, then shipping it, then waiting for the 14 day hold Ebay puts on Electronic Devices, all of this when the launch of the Epic is 12 days away?Too many variables to mess with.

I also spoke with Radio Shack to verify final pricing so:

FINAL PRICE = $300 + tax for the device after the swap exchange, NOT $449 + tax.

Now if you want to wait ti'll after the launch and then ebay the EVO off and get in on a second shipment, then go for it. I was just trying to offer up some advice here on how to get out of the EVO FROYO and not spend full price on the EPIC on launch day.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
Wait...

You paid $200 for the EVO, and they'll buy it back for say $300, just for easy math. You still need to pay the full price on the Epic, which is $549. So you're essentially paying $449 for the epic when all is said & done.

Why not sell the EVO on Craigslist for $400, then buy the Epic for full price?
[Epic 4G General] Aridon:
Evo's on Ebay sell for $400+...
[Epic 4G General] doingitdaily:
Ill buy anyone's evo for 300 if its mint
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I'll have to put my EVO up for sale real soon...
[Epic 4G General] nismology:
My Evo went for $455 on ebay.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Mine has a slight scuff in one of the corners. It's hard to notice. Everything else, including the screen, is perfect. I'll probably sell it for a little under $300.
[Epic 4G General] coolkams03:
Vibrant is available for 1cent now on Amazon and $49 for Captivate. I don't know why Sprint decided to price EPIC at $250!
[Epic 4G General] chococrazy:
When companies look at ways to price their phone they don't look on amazon. They have a team of marketers make the price.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
And the Vibrant/Captivate are $199 on T-mobile/AT&T's sites. Let's not look to third party dealers and the kickbacks they receive to set pricing standards.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Why not just hawk your Evo on craigslist or eBay for double and still come out on top even after getting the Epic for $250? Evo's are going for $400 and more on the grey market.

Sorry, but i have the patience to WAIT for my Evo to sell on CL and make a healthy profit still. If you don't have $250 + tax lying around to get the Epic, then i can understand not wanting to wait for Evo to sell, at least the RS credit makes it an almost straight swap anyway dollar-wise..

Here in NYC, an Evo on CL for $400 sells in a day (once you wade through the usual b.s folks), sold 3 myself. Literally posted in the AM and by evening time sold it clean and square.
[Epic 4G General] jackpearce:
Instead of adding around $200 - $250 to money you get for selling your evo, why not just keep the evo, add a second line and buy the epic for $250. Then work on trying to get add many discounts for your account as you can.

This is the soundtrack to the rEVOlution.

[Desire General] mallrat37:
Yep you need an upgrade

[Desire General] Shockwave Pyrotechnics:
Hmm, the version I am using isn't a pirated version. This is the second copy I've bought, I had it for my HD2 until the screen broke and they said I couldn't transfer it between OS's so bought it again.... off to ALK then for some support... that'll be the end of that then!!!
[Desire General] kien:
Have you tried deleting the maps as well? There's a newer version than 8.2.0.218 now but .218 works on Froyo. I got an expired license message last week even though I purchased it months ago and it took them a week to sort it out.

To root it you may use unrevoked with the SLCD compatible recovery image.

How can I root the Slide to get root permissions with superuser icon without having to flash a custom ROM. I Like the Stock ROM and want to keep it, all I want is to get Root permissions to be able to do wifi teher....is this possible and if yes....how?

I have tried searching the WIKI's but all of them say something different & i dont want to brick my phone....any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HebrewToYou:
Yes, it is possible. You'll want to root your phone, downgrade to the engineering build, and then flash ChiefzReloaded's Stock+OTA rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetik517:
yes it's possible. it's called stock rooted. just follow the root tutorial. you will be rooted. no need to flash the eng build as you're not trying to flash a custom rom.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trobing:
Noob question: Other than CR's ROM having the OTA, what other difference is there between stock rooted and the ROM?

Does tethering, apps2sd (ext) and such work on rooted stock?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
you guys do realize that chiefzreloaded stock+ota rom, however close to being stock, is not the oem rom. That rom has tweaks.

To get the oem rom follow the directions to root you will end up with the completely 100% oem ROM (if you follow the original root guide) that you can install some root apps (like wifi tether). NOW if you want to flash the eng rom to have the release keys and ease of going into clockwork, then you want to go back into clockwork and make a

nandroid

. This way after flashing the eng you can restore the nandroid and still have all the benefits of eng release but have your fully stock rom. Also with that nandroid you always have your stock rom as a backup you can go back to w/o loosing root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetik517:
i ran stock rooted for a while before flashing another rom. my first was eugene's slidemeroot5r1. the reason i switched was apps2sd-ext, starting getting the low on space warning (annoying). after fooling around w/ some other roms & making nandroids of each, i am now on the ota rom.

tethering, if i'm not mistaken, should work on stock rooted. it's been a while so i truly can't recall. but you will need to download the program. ..you will not have the option of apps2sd. however, with some of these scripts floating around (firerat & darktremor) it may be possible. don't quote me on that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetik517:
that was the ONLY thing i forgot to do. smh. it was on my list and everything. when i was in the process of flashing the eng build, i couldn't for the life of me figure out to get back to clockwork. i was stuck on the red triangle lol. didn't find out till after i flashed another rom that i had to do vol up + power. ..my biggest regret.
