Can someone please post a stock nandroid backup for the Droid 2, or email it to miketoasty@gmail.com. Please and thank you :)
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
You do know that you can just flash the .sbf to get back to stock.
[Droid 2 General] jdmba:
Just fyi ... A nandroid is everything about your phone. Teo people on the same nandroid can affect each others market etc. it is a very very very bad idea to post a nandroid of your system.

We do not have built in way to do it. I got DROID 2 bootstrap from Market yesterday for $2.00. It does the job and the restore works too.

[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
Hello Everyone

I have a Sprint CDMA HTC Hero. I am running cm6 nightly 9-05.

I wanted to update google search since it was out of date on my phone so I issued the following command:

rm system/app/googlesearchbox.apk

(note spelling and capitalization may be off with the package name because I am not remembering it exactly right now)

I then reinstalled from the marketplace. Now the hardware search key does not launch google search (note long pressing the hardware search key does bring up the actions assigned to it though)

When I go into applications from settings and find google search the "launch by default" section says "no defaults selected" This to me makes me think there is no default search set for the system for the key to bind to. Any ideas if this might be correct of how to set the default search on the phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I don't see that, I see normal stuff.

Maybe try via WiFi? I doubt that helps, but just confirm that for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Appreciate the interest. On wifi now, same business. Was going for an easy fix, but I suppose I can just redo everything.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Okay, I have officially tried everything. Burned my whole afternoon. Even restoring completely to stock with odin doesn't work. Heading in to Verizon tomorrow.
[Fascinate Android Development] money226:
Just give it some time. Mine was like that for about 24 hours.
[Fascinate Android Development] mastibeta:
Did you try modifying your build.prop file...maybe the footprint got botched.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
I did not. Is there an instruction post? I'll search for it tomorrow. About to crash.

Unsure about waiting 24 hours, how does that work?
[Fascinate Android Development] Accord281:
I know for the dinc there was a market fix so that the phone identified itself as a nexus one to the market. Perhaps something like that would work.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnt2k:
join the club i used Odin to flash CWRecovery and now i dont have WIFI not sure yet if i have market because i dont have 3G service @ home

please some one chime in ???
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
I flashed CWM last night and everthing is fine. Connected to wifi today at work market isn't giving me any problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] geeknik:
I was the first guy to get CWM installed on the Fascinate, and I haven't had a single problem with the Market, paid or free.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
I don't know if it has anything to do with CWM, but the issue didn't begin until I loaded it, so it's something that got screwed up along the way.

Before I loaded it, I undid the lagfix, wiped, re-rooted, and ran through the CWM steps.

Now I have gone completely back to stock, and am still having the same issues. My G/Fs Fascinate is fine however. I wasn't sure if anyone was familiar with what would be causing the issue, I understand it's working fine for everyone else. lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
How far back to stock have you gone? If you don't mind going back to base zero, you can try something... ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] StanRox:
To go completely back to stock what would you recomend? The process outlined for the i9000 mix up?
[Fascinate Android Development] Mydnightsorrow:
When my paid market messed up I turned off power and restarted then it was fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
I'm at base zero via your post, followed by a wipe to ensure that I killed root so I can possibly return the phone later today, lol. I'm seriously disturbed by this. Would be happy to try any possible fixes though.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Go do Settings - > Privacy -> Reset Factory Default (something like that).

It's different than a recovery wipe, this will rebuild /dbdata.

I betcha one whole dollar that fixes it. Unless you already did that. In which case I do not bet you one dollar.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Lolz. Done already.

I have honestly tried every possible combination of fix I can think of to do. I don't know what got borked, but to be completely honest, I can't swear I had paid market from the get on mine. I am just pretty sure I did.

I know I don't now.
[Fascinate Android Development] wasupwithuman:
try signing in with a different gmail account.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Ha. trying now.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Okay no, seriously WTF. lol. I signed in with another account and the market paid apps are back.

How the hell¿?¿?j :eek:
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
That's technology for you.

Ever wonder why kicking a PC to fix whatever the problem is works?

Glad you got it settled.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Not resolved. I buy a lot of apps, and I can't see my apps signed in from a different account.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Right, but now you know it's your Google account, not your phone. You can start working on this from the Google account angle..
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Awesome, and my thoughts exactly.

Now let me muddle things.

I wiped my g/f's phone and logged into my account from hers. market is as it should be.

I repeat my previous WTF, and raise it a OMGWTFHALP

Edit:

Found this in the google support forums

Ok so I called Google Technical Support, and here is what I did that fixed the problem

- Go To 'Settings'

- then Applications

-then Manage Applications

-then press the menu button (in case of nexus one the second button from the left) and select filter

- then select 'All'

- Now I cleared the 'cache' and other application data from the 'Market', 'Market Updater', 'Browser' and other Android apps, and also pressed forced stop.

- then I went and checked the Android Market again ... the weird thing is that at that time the problem still persisted, but a checked back an hour later ... I can see the 'Top Paid' now.

giving it a go now.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Awesome.

I don't know what part of this, if any, actually did the trick. i found some more info on the Google Android help forums, and followed all the ideas there. Essentially I;

Cleared cache and data for each Google app.

Shut down my phone

Logged into my Google checkout, and deleted all personal and payment information.

Rebooted phone, went to market which was still borked

Searched for a paid app by name

purchased it, reentering all pertinent personal and payment information in the process.

Rebooted again after the app installed.

Market is back to normal.

F U Google. F U.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:

[Vibrant Android Development] jmz:
I am starting this thread for a total of 10 early alpha testers. At least one of these I would like to be creative with layout design (my weak spot). And one be quite familiar with the in depth rom design. And yes all will be recognized for the support. ALL testers WILL have a Vibrant they can access recovery via hardware keys and accepts all responsibility for any bad things. Which shouldn't happen as kernel flashing will happen very late in the design closer to beta release. So please PM me with your experience and confirm that you meet the two requirements for all testers. Alpha should be available for testing in about 2-3 weeks.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to create a shortcut to a file on the Android home screen?

Basically, there are several pictures/maps that I refer to and I would like to be able to click on an icon on the home screen that would open up a certain program and load the picture.

I haven't been able to find any apps. I'm using the File Manager app but that will only create shortcuts to folders. In surfing the web, it appears there use to be an app called Any Cut which allowed you to create shortcuts but it's no longer available.

Thanks for any assistance.

LauncherPro supports this feature, if you're willing to change your launcher. Not sure about ADW Launcher, but from what I've heard has many of the same features as LauncherPro.

Sent from my CM6 powered device
[Epic 4G General] richse:
We managed to fix this problem the other night on the irc channel. I didn't post anything because it doesn't seem like many people are using superuser.apk. The problem is that superuser needs to install it's own version of the su program to run properly. The current root method replaces su every reboot. When you lose the su that superuser.apk installs it can't control root access anymore and basically any program can request root without a prompt to you. The fix is to just replace the jk-su file in /system/bin/ with the superuser su. Then every reboot it will just use the one that works with the superuser app. I did this a few days ago and haven't had any problems.

The procedure is as follows (you need to use adb):

Go into the superuser app, go to the "settings" tab and at the very bottom choose to update su (it should change from saying original to something like "su v2.3.1-ef").

Plug the phone into usb and make sure you have USB debugging enabled.

Open a command prompt on the computer and goto your android sdk tools folder to run these commands (IMPORTANT NOTE - Make sure you have the phone screen on and unlocked when you run the su command below because superuser will ask you for permission and you need to click yes. It wont prompt if the screen is off or locked and the adb shell will just sit there waiting for a response. As soon as you click yes on the phone you should get a # in the adb shell):

adb shell

su

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

cp /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk-su

exit

Now you should just reboot the phone and check that it worked by running any program that needs root access that isn't already listed with superuser. I suggest shootme or wifi tether. tether asks when you start or stop tethering and when you allow a mac address in the access control.
[Epic 4G General] krazyflipj:
Hmmm cp /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk-su didn't work. I ls /system/bin and don't see jk-su listed just su...
[Epic 4G General] richse:
What root did you use? I did mine manually so there may be some differences if you used a one click.

Edit: I just looked at noobnl's one click root and it uses the same script that contains the line:

#copies busybox su

cat /system/bin/jk-su > /sdx/su

so it should definitely be there even if you used his one click.

When you run the command "ls -l /system/bin/jk-su" what do you get?

I get this:

ls -l /system/bin/jk-su

-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2010-09-18 06:10 jk-su
[Epic 4G General] krazyflipj:
Please delete
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Did you get it working? After you updated su through the superuser app then it started working so that is why it asked you for permission when you were in terminal. The problem is that if you reboot without applying the rest of the fix to replace jk-su then you will lose the updated su and it will stop working.
[Epic 4G General] rose1:
Hey Richse, I'm trying to get this to work but it isn't.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
can you give me more information, what errors are you getting or what exactly is happening?
[Epic 4G General] rose1:
Okay, I did the one click root method that is stickied. Then I did

adb shell

su

after doing su, I initially saw on the phone that unknown user was asking for superuser access. Of course, "unknown user" is me so I granted it. Then I saw the # then I went ahead and did

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

That worked fine . The line repeated itself which indicates that it worked. When I do

cp /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk-su

it then says cp: not found.

Just to give you a little more info, I just restored my phone with odin to factory defaults, then I updated to the DI07 update. Then I installed the final clockwork mod recovery, then I did the one click root method. Then I installed superuser in the system/app folder.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
I'm not sure why cp doesn't work, it just means copy. An alternative to try is to delete jk-su and replace it with the su you updated. Use these commands in place of the cp command:

rm /system/bin/jk-su

cat /system/bin/su > /system/bin/jk-su

Make sure you do this after updating su in the superuser app and without rebooting in between. Let me know if you have any problems.
[Epic 4G General] spdwiz18:
followed instructions. no errors but i still have no programs asking for permission. i had wifi tether downloaded before and it worked. I downloaded shootme to see if it would ask for permission and it didnt - but it works. neithe one is lited in superuser either.

listed is:

adfree / quickboot / root manager / startup manager ( 3 of them) / super manager / unknown ( spawned right after i followed instrution)

any ideas

uninstall supersuser and reinstalled:

listed apps now:

adfree / busybox installer / root explorer / rootmanager / sufbs / tit backup

again not sure is it is correct. but seems to work "I THINK"
[Epic 4G General] richse:
When you go to update su in the superuser app does it say "original" and then change or does it stay updated after you reboot?
[Epic 4G General] spdwiz18:
what i have:

cwm 2.5.1

root 2.1.1

di07

now for the long and skinny:

i checked. went to superuser and it told me 2.3.1 -ef i then HARD rebooted, came back with no root.and superuser told be original, hard reboot again, still no root. So one more time- third time is a charm - i have root and superuser told me 2.3.1 -ef

thanks again for the help.

i think my phone might not be total stable.. lol

any ideas.

also - i thought about upping root to most recent but unsure if i need to unroot or if i can install over it. your thoughts on this matter!!!! :confused:
[Epic 4G General] richse:
I doubt you need to update root. The root I used was the original manual method by joeykrim. The one click just automates that method. There is no reason why you should have to reboot multiple times to get this working. You basically just replaced a file with a similar file and the script that was installed when you rooted uses that file to create a new su every time you reboot. Personally, I would wipe to stock with Odin and then use the manual root method to make sure nothing funny is going on with your phone. When you rebooted and the su was "original" you didn't lose root, it just meant that superuser wouldn't work. For now, as long as the 2.3.1 -ef sticks around superuser will work just fine. As an alternative you could try noobnl's newest stuff. Looks like he made it compatible with superuser, so I think that would negate the need to use this type of fix. I'm not sure what he did to add the compatibility but you could probably ask him.
[Epic 4G General] rose1:
if you flash noobnl's latest kernel, it includes superuser and it works perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
The only issue I see with that is you have to use a DG27 kernel. If you want to use a DI07 kernel you still need to use this fix.
[Epic 4G General] rose1:
Very true. I didn't think about that.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I have latest Noobls kernel flashed on top of DI07 and this fix did not work.First thing that dint work is i never got SuperUser prompt after i typed su in adb shell,i got su in windows but no prompt on the phone.

To make it short i did the whole procedure from BetterTerminal(now i got su prompt) rebooted and back to same problem.Man,this been bugin me for two days now,sometimes i reboot the phone and i have root permissions then i reboot again and they are gone!

Big question is:is everybody on Epic have same issue or is it just on certain phones,kernels or roms?
