You are at the mercy of AT&T - they are handing out your IP address and routing your traffic.

My guess is that even a different APN won't help - with millions of smartphones their IP address space is limited. I wouldn't be surprised if they are not blocking all inbound SYN conncections. If nothing else they protect all the iPhone jailbreakers that installed SSH but didn't change their passwords.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mostyle:
Well said. Damn AT&T.

I'm thinking I may grab a Vibrant and flash JG8.. Then, I get hspda, Eugenes Kernels, and CM when Wes gets it running on Vibrant.

I love the Captivate.. Im just a little less than stirred by the ROM development..

Thanks for the reply.

PSFREEDOM

Backup Manager (attached below)

Steps

Extract Psfreedom to root of your internal storage. Replace module and zimage file. if the name of new and old module is different just delete the old module

Connect phone in active sync mode with your pc

Run haret.exe

After you see boot animation you can disconnect your phone from pc

open terminal emulator in dev tools in android

run the following command -># Type "su", then "cd /sdcard", then "insmod psfreedom.ko"

make sure your ps3 is turned off( switched oof from the back in FAT model/ power cable is unplugged in SLIM model)

connect your phone to the usb port of your PS3

Turn the back switch on(FAT model) or plug in the power cable for Slim model

press power button and then immediately press eject button

Now in XMB there will be another option to install package files

put the manager.pkg in your fat32 formatted pen drive

Go to install package file and choose manager.pkg

After it is installed remove the pen drive

Insert the game you want to make a backup of.

Open backup manager and select the game and press backup.

After the backup has been made remove the game disk and put any other game disk.

choose the game of which you made backup and press load. it will send you to XMB

Now in front of the CD icon it will be the game you backed-up, not the game of which you inserted the disk.

Just run the game and ENJOY

NOTE: Those who get unknwown usb connected try 5-10 times. if the error continues.Format your internal storage and change your android build to 29.7.10 and and if it still doesnt work flash a new rom ( a fast one) ( dont know why but it worked for me) .

If you get the black screen then come back to XMB while running backup make sure you are removing your pen drive while making a backup. If it still doesnt work you can use the PSfreedom provided by Denial84 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E2J6E55H

50+ views but no thanks?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 10-80:
Hi arjunking,

Firstly, Thanks!

I suspect a lot of people might be still struggling with this, like I am.

The first issue I have is this:

Step 1 "Extract Psfreedom to root of your internal storage. Replace module and zimage file"

I'm running XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.29.7.10.RC2.1. Looking at the 'andboot' folder (where I run xdandroid from) the module file has a different name that the module file in the psfreedom package. Therefore, 'replace the module file' doesn't occur.

Does this indicate I'm using the wrong xdandroid version? Will it be a problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
First of all, thanks for this guide, i answers some questions that most of us have, but not some of the other,

What build of xdandroid is reccomended?

Same thing I hate this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the second boot of XDANDROID I can't boot, I get the error of not being able to find rootfs.img

I dont bother with the andboot folder?

this is all really hard,

I need

HELP!

:mad::mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] victorfungcy:
Just put both files in internal storage, it works for me;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
thanks.

I have htc diam500.

I didn't use those crappy "andboot" folders.

I did EVERYTHING from the root. I also tried like 3 different versions of the psfreedom.ko file(one with bmdv* support) and some other one.

So I think it comes down to having the right psfreedom file and LUCK.

Also once you install the emulator(the thing you do after installing Xandroid) if you get a # and blank line than you've done it right. After that just plug it up to your ps3 when it's completly off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
thanks for the help, but i still can't work out what i have done wrong!

this is so annoying, anyway, im sure i will work something out.

thanks

tom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 10-80:
OK, I'm almost there.

I should've tried it before I posted because apparently it doesn't matter if the modules file in the psfreedom package has a different name to the one in the xdandroid folder. I just deleted the original 'modules-2.6.27.46-01130-g0ac6681.tar' and copied over the one from the psfreedom package 'modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar'

I've got to the point of starting my first backup.

This brings me to my next question:

1. When using the backup manager there is no option to backup to an external hard disk.

So how do I either:

a) backup to external hdd, or

b) move my backups from the internal hdd to an external hdd when they're done?

Update: OK, now that I've got a Fat32 formatted external hdd connected the 'backup manager' prompts me to backup to external hard disk
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomascivinod:
ok, so i did that right, what build of android are you using?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] noob_2010:
ummm I'm not sure on that. You would prob. have to google that. or just save it to your internal drive on the ps3 and when it's done see if they would let you do it is the only way I know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 10-80:
XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.29.7.10.RC2.1

Also, if you run xdandroid from a location other than the root of internal storage, you need to make a corresponding change to step 6. In my case:

"cd /sdcard" becomes "cd /sdcard/andboot"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AnubiS_28:
thanks for this...... :) working 100% with diam100 and ps3 with 3.41 firmware.... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dottortanzy:
i have some problem with my diamond.

Yesterday the exploit didn't work for all day,this morning worked,and now doesn'work again.I hope in a new release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arjunking:
Delete the old module already present. and let there just be the new one which is in in psfreedom. dont rename it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arjunking:
just download the android build 29.7.10 and extract it into root of your internal storage. not in any folder.

delete the module already present there and extract the new one from the psfreedom file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bluerein:
Is there any way to run a script automatically on terminal start up that would basically run the 3 commands

su

cd sdcard

insmod psfreedom.ko

???

just being lazy really..!!LOL:D

edit.....

gscript lite works great and can place a shortcut on my desktop for running the script!!!

HaRET freezes after the vibrate.

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a problem that sometimes goes away. When i start HaRET, it freezes after it vibrates. What could be the problem? I'm using a HTC Touch Pro(not a diamond)

I Hope that someone has a solution for this problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arjunking:
that maybe cause of the android you are using. try reinstalling android using a new or different build. try the one in first post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Erikih:
Formatted a 128mb micro sd card(i know it needs to be more for datastore), copied the files to the root of the card and run it. It looked like it was fixed, but it frozen after doing some things to load up android.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arjunking:
you need atleast 300mb of space for proper functioning of android.

it will kinda extract the sy.ext2 file which is of 90 mb so it takes all your space.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zulm:
for those getting "unknown usb connected" leave the diamond connected via usb until the screen goes black.. then power off the ps3, wake up the diamond then try the exploit again, seems to work for every time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Erikih:
Got it working now.

Ok guys,

Got it working now. But i mostly get unknown device connected. I recommend everybody to remove your sim card. Because xdandroid connects to 3g and i lost at least 10 euro's prepaid credit. And psfreedom works better without sim card imo.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zulm:
this hasnt failed me yet, sometimes on first try it works, most of the time it gives an unknown device message.. when that happens I do the above and always works the second time. anyone else tried this and helped?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Cyperjoe:
I got it working with this too, i actually got it 3 times in a row.

I would have recorded it, and posted it on youtube, to show how I did, but as soon as I got my camera up, my PS3 got camery-shy, and wouldn't work 10 times in a row.

But it seems like it worked.

What I did:

Get the "Unknown device connected".

Hold down the powerbutton until the beep.

Let the PS3 shut down.

Wait until my Diamond's screen timed out.

Cut the power to the PS3.

Wait a few seconds. Not unplugging any USB cables.

Press the Diamond, and unlock it.

Turn on the power to the PS3.

Wait a few seconds again.

Press the powerbutton and quickly eject.

Let the PS3 boot up, and hope for the best.

I have a Diam100, and a Fat 60GB PS3.

I have also noticed, if i press the eject too quickly it seems to freeze up, at black screen, more rapidly. But that might just be more of my bad luck :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nickblame:
worked for me!! thanks!

oh I want to note that I used a really short usb cable and it worked (I was trying with a bit larger one with no luck)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arjunking:
people if you get that error, it is cause of slow speed so try everything you can to speed up your diamond.

faster rom better android build(the newer one is fastest)

smaller wire of better quality maybe

HI guys ! It works fine ! To solve the "unknown usb device" message , I do not press the PS button on the sixaxis until the video output appears. try it !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thebobsters:
hi guy

i'm on a diamond 500 i have xandroid running fine, but when i'm in terminal emulator , after i and the su command, the other command cd/sdcard/andboot or no andboot i get the message not found,

since the diamond as no sd card but a 4gig internal memory is there something else to use as a command so i can get it to work ??

thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Cyperjoe:
Is is possible to get more free ram on android, or get a build without all the unnecessary phone stuff, and only PsFreedom?

I still had alot of problems, and getting the error, so i tried shortend my cable, that didn't relly work (who would have guessed :cool: ).

I tried about 15-20 times, non worked.

So i tried wrapping it in tinfoil, and that actually seems to help alot, now it works 3/5 times, so either the shorter cable did it, or the better isolation.

You have to put the "psfreedom.ko" file on the root of your internal memory.

Then only type "cd /sdcard"

Without the "" ofcours.

Edit:

Added some pictures for fun.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] arjunking:
just download this file

http://www.ex.ua/get/679944378117/4133822

and extract it to root of your internal storage.

run haret while in active sync and then run the commands in android and you are all ready

I did this but i can not give commands through the keyboard. When i press a letter nothing happens in the terminal. when i touch the circle random letters apear in the box. What do i wrong. Only when i press a letter a white box with the letters appear.

Thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Cyperjoe:
I tried this to, had the same problem.

I managed to change the keyboard by going to mail, and change the input.

This does however still give me the "unknown device" error..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] baraata:
Does not work for me can use keyboard in mail no problems but in terminal de keyboard lites up when i touch it but no response on the lines:confused:

Any suggestions why it does not work for me? In options i can put in command line and initial command here the keyboard works.

THX

oke i can put in lines through initinal command when i start then the terminal it says can,t read psfreedom.ko no such file when i look inside the phone it does not see the 4Gb of the internal memory thats my problem i think.

but it dosent work for me

i have cooket rom from belite version 0.99 on my phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
Its all about timing. If your getting the unknown usb error it means that the hack is working, you just have to keep trying until it works.

I tried for an hour one day and never got it to go. The next day it worked first try. Since then it has worked after 2 or 3 tries every time
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SephZero:
stinky, which rom do you have?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Daderushmore:
I got a different problem...mine works almost every time, but after installing the backup manager and I backup a game, then when im done i put in another game disc in and click on the game to launch, but then takes me back to the XMB with no game listed before actual game CD thats in the drive? Am i doing something wrong? Also installed the Stealth Backup Manager and same thing? Any ideas?

I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond 100, and I have the same problem.

When I launch a backup game, it takes me back to the XMB.

Does anyone have a good psfreedom.ko file ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _-Belial-_:
It's normal.

Once you're back in the XMB in the Blue-Ray player you have the ISO you just selected.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] yoy:
Thanks, now it's working for me :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
You are talking about on the HTC itself? The rom is 1.06.

I bet there is a newer updated rom for this phone. I dont think this one has ever been updated before. Are you thinking a newer rom would allow it to run all the time for me?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kaspuh:
Got the same problem. Going to try to reinstall fresh version of XDAndroid and see what happens. Will return when i fixed this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcinho:
First of all, thanks 4 the guide ;-)

It works!

Question: has this psfreedom Backup Manager support?

Because i tried to load a backup of my game (original) from an external disk, but it returns on xmb and not load it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] _-Belial-_:
After that, you'll have the selected game as if you have inserted it in the blue-ray player (in the XMB)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcinho:
yes yes, i have.

But when i click on it, it loads for 15/20 second and then returns on xmb.

(note: the game is compatible with external hdd)

EDIT

Ok, now works perfect.

It was an hard disk problem (external 2.5" samsung model 0804h hd 80gb), it is not fully supported.

Now i use another hard disk and it works ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BB88:
Does it work with PS3 with firmware 3.40? Or is there a way to only update the firmware to 3.41?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gkolfin:
Hi all... I have a problem(!)

I have backed up a game in the internal hdd, load it from the backup manager and when the system returns to xmb I choose to play the game from the cd-player (yes, I have inserted an original disc). And then, after 2-3sec the system "freezes"!

I have tried to backup 2 or 3 different games, but there is always the same problem :(

Does anybody know this problem? Any ideas how to solve it.....?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
Maybe try a different game from the hdd. Or check one of the comparability threads. Chances are the game is not working yet
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gkolfin:
Sorry..... what are the comparability threads? :confused: Do you mean that not all the games are compatible with jailbreak???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hstsz:
Hello,

Is it possible to compile the PSFreedom of the HTC Diamond with a new PL3 to be compatible in Firmware 3.15?

If yes how please

PS: I follow this site for a long time already and you are truly the best!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mshaun:
Thanks and a question.

First off, Thanks Arjunking! I got a little lost initializing psfreedom but aside from that it is working. Backup Manager on the other hand is not. For whatever reason most games seem to backup successfully and others have and error (fwrite fail). The ones that do seem to backup correctly do not load. I have tried many combinations and always the same thing. The game in the ps3 is shown in the XMB menu and not the one I tried to load from backup manager. If you have any suggestions I would be grateful. Again, Thanks.

update: I've also noticed that when I try to open "app_home/PS3_GAME/" I get an error message: "An error occurred during the start operation. (80028F14)" Just thought this might help with any assessment of the problems I am having.

update: Nevermind, Backup Manager is working now. For whatever reason I had to uninstall and then reinstall. Having problems with the jailbreak now though. It doesn't seem to want to work. I probably tried about 15, 20 times last night and it never worked. Just tried it another 3 or 4 just now and finally, success. But it's not really worth it if I can't get it to work when I want it to. Any suggestions?

I can confirm that his tips greatly improve the success rate. I believe the overclocking is the most important factor... The rest of the tips are good for preventing slowdowns/synchronization during the jailbreak.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sanmarvin:
hey all...

I have the following problem when I run the following command -># Type "su", then "cd /sdcard", then "insmod psfreedom.ko"

is the message:

"Insmod: cant insert `psfreedom.ko`: file exists"

...what should I do????

(sorry for my bad english)​
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] unknown88:
I am really desperate as I follow all the instruction with my HTC Touch Diamond and it's still not working.

There are several points I need to confirm,

I install the lastest xandroid 2.2 and replace the zImage in the andboot folder, use the modules provided and put psfreedom.ko in both andboot folder and the root folder of HTC Touch Diamond, it's still not working. I followed the instructions and I can't even get message like unknown usb devices etc. It's just like a normal switch on of PS3. I have upgraded to 3.41 by the beginning of October, did Sony updated the 3.41 firmware and keep putting it on the sever

Where should I put the manager.pkg? In a seperate memory stick? or within the andboot folder, or within the root directory of the HTC Touch Diamond 4G internal storage?

Finally, what is the exact command to be typed in the emulation terminal and how do I know whether it works or not?

I am desperate for the answer and I hope somebody can answer my questions. THX!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mshaun:
1.The psfreedom.ko file is to be in the same file as Haret. It makes no difference if they're both in the root folder of your phone or you chose to use an andboot folder.

2. You need to put manager.pkg on a memory stick. Once you've successfully jailbroken you ps3 you will see an install folder. Insert your memory stick. Go to the install folder under games in the xmb menu and open it. You will see the manager.pkg file. Install. Once you install it won't be necessary again but your ps3 will have to be jailbroken to use the program.

3. "su" then hit enter on the keyboard

"cd /sdcard" then hit enter on the keyboard. there is a space between "cd"

and "/sdcard".

"insmod psfreedom.ko" then hit enter on the keyboard.

You will know each command was successful when you hit enter and the

pound sign "#" appears. When you see the pound sign "#" after entering

"insmod psfreedom.ko" you know it is successfully running.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] unknown88:
It's still not working. I am wondering whether sony has fixed the exploit of my 3.41 firmware as I download it from sony around the end of September. Is there anyway to restore the 3.41 firmware?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stinky_1:
forget about the manager.pkg for now. Thats only used after you are jailbroken.

Make sure you phone is NOT set to USB drive mode in winmo. You can confirm this by plugging it into your pc, then see if you still have access to your external drive. If you get the connection manager pop up on windows then you are good. If you get the new disk popup then you have a problem.

Once you are set up right in winmo, you can go ahead and boot android.

plug the phone into your ps3 with it turned ON.

Go to the terminal emulator and type in all the commands. If you did it right you will see "unsupported USB device" show on the top right corner of your ps3 screen. It will blink 3 or 4 times.

Once you see that error show up, then you can turn off or unplug the ps3. Turn it back on and hit power and reset.

It should work now.

If you do NOT see the unsupported usb device error on the screen then you are not running the exploit on the phone. You need to go back and make sure it loaded in the command window. Or that your phone is set to the right disk mode.

That should do it.
